My father is Yuan Shu?But I want to be a Cao thief

Chapter 284 Ping Jingzhou, seal five tigers and five sons!
Jian'an five years, AD 200.

Early spring has just arrived, and the chill has not yet subsided.

Jingzhou encountered Chu Feng successively capturing Jiangxia, and then capturing Jiangling, but Liu Bei took Jiangling back. Immediately, Chu Feng split the relationship between Liu Biao and Liu Bei.
As a result, they united with the Cai family to complete the annexation of Xiangyang, and Liu Biao's family was put to death. Chu Feng controlled the entire Jingbei and annexed all his followers.

Jingnan Liu Bei took the opportunity to take down Zhang Xian, and had tens of thousands of soldiers and horses, but because he lost to Chu Feng, he and his second brother Guan Yu were killed by Chu Feng successively, and Jingzhou was pacified so far.

Chu Feng's territory further expanded, sitting in the entire territory of Jing and Yang, as well as the three counties of Xuzhou and one county of Yuzhou, and became one of the strongest princes in the world.

And with his annexation of Jingzhou, it was officially listed as a tripartite confrontation by later history books.

Cao Cao temporarily occupied the Central Plains and Guanzhong, and the people under his rule were about 5 million people, which was the party with the least people among the three legs. However, his soldiers and horses were elite and lacked time to develop.

Yuan Shao occupies Qingyou and Jizhou, and may accept Cao Cao's Central Plains territory. In terms of population, he is no less than Chu Feng, and sitting in the north, his cavalry is invincible.

Of these three legs, Yuan Shao is the most powerful, has the most soldiers, horses, food and grass, and the people, Cao Cao has the most elite soldiers, Guanzhong has a superior geographical location, and he even takes the emperor to command the princes.

As for Chu Feng, he occupies the south of the Yangtze River and has the most stable power. After all, if he wants to go south, he must be able to fight. This is extremely difficult, but it is not easy for Chu Feng to invade the Central Plains.

After all, he doesn't have enough cavalry under his command, and most of his troops are from Jingyang and Yangzhou, and his soldiers are not good at fighting the cavalry of the Central Plains.

In addition to these three legs, Ma Teng and Han Sui of Xiliang, Shi Xie of Jiaozhou, Liu Zhang of Yizhou, Gongsundu of Liaodong, and Zhang Lu of Hanzhong are the only remaining princes.

The forces of all parties have at least tens of thousands of soldiers and horses, among which Liu Zhang in Yizhou has the most soldiers and horses, with [-] soldiers, and Xiliang has the most fierce cavalry, but they are not united.

----

At this time, Xiangyang, Jingzhou.

In the general's residence in the city, Chu Feng ranked first.

Since Liu Bei was put down, Chu Feng led his troops to clear up the bandits, stabilize the place, visit officials from all over the place, and give condolences, which can be regarded as a simple gathering of Jingzhou.

Right now, he doesn't have much time to govern Jingzhou, and he has to rely on the Cai family and the Kuai family to help manage it. After all, Cao Cao's exit is imperative, and Yuan Shao's offensive is coming.

Although Yuan Shao is arrogant, his soldiers and horses need to be defended in all aspects, and his subordinates, whether civil servants or military generals, are all front-line, it depends on whether he can use it.

"My lord, all Jingzhou soldiers and horses have been reorganized into the book. There are a total of more than [-] soldiers in the water and land armies. Among them, General Huang has selected [-] people from them. The remaining [-] people, how should we deal with them?"

Cai Mao clasped his fists and asked.

"It's just a group of miscellaneous soldiers, and it's useless to go to the battlefield. In this way, 10,000 people guard Nanyang, focusing on defense. 20,000 people guard the counties of Jingzhou, and are responsible for attacking bandits everywhere."

"There are 40,000 sailors remaining, totaling 30,000 people, and the rest, more than [-], are all disarmed and returned to the fields to prepare for the next spring plowing." Chu Feng waved his hand.

Streamlining troops and simplifying administration, Chu Feng has always pursued.

"My lord, isn't it too much to disarm more than [-] people at once? After all, the armored soldiers recruited with great difficulty, although their combat power is a bit weak, but"

Cai Mao wanted to persuade him.

Before Cai Mao finished speaking, Chu Feng raised his hand and said: "War is not judged by the number of people, if war is judged by the number of people, wouldn't Yuan Shao be invincible?"

"Remember, the soldiers are good but not many. No matter how many soldiers and horses are defeated at the first touch, what's the use?"

All the generals in the hall nodded one after another, agreeing that Chu Feng would not even want to keep these 40,000 people if it wasn't for the need for Jingzhou to stay behind.

"In addition, all parts of Jingzhou have suffered from wars and torments, and the people are suffering unspeakably. The imperial edict exempts the entire territory of Jingzhou from taxation for one year, and the tenant farmers of all families can take up to [-]% of their harvest to ease the suffering of the people!"

"Remember, this is a death order, obey unconditionally. If you are playing tricks, I don't mind massacring them all. If you rebel, then I also don't mind massacring them all."

"Jingzhou, I will be the sky from now on. I have the final say. It is best to take care of the people below, otherwise don't blame me for being merciless!" Chu Feng said in a low voice, looking around at the group of civil servants.

He knew that tenant farmers received [-]% of the normal rent, but after years of war in Jingzhou, it was necessary to calm down the public opinion and give the people a stable and harmonious life.

As for the group of blood-drinking families, this can be regarded as beating!

"This!"

All the aristocratic families bowed their heads together and looked at each other, with helplessness, boredom, anger, and compromise in their eyes.

When it came to Jia Xu, he chuckled lightly, this Chu Feng was a bit courageous, he dared to suppress the aristocratic family in Jingzhou like this, he was really arrogant.

Although this would arouse the aristocratic family's resentment, Chu Feng's actions instantly controlled the goodwill of the Jingzhou people. There were advantages and disadvantages to each other, but the people's hearts were accepted quickly.

"Follow your lord's orders!"

With the Kuai family and other big families all expressing their opinions, it is obvious that this Chu Feng is not a good stump, but they have heard that the group of aristocratic families in Yangzhou have been severely punished.

Even the Gu family, one of the four major families in Jiangdong, was ransacked and beheaded. It was really ruthless.

"It's best like this, don't think about obedience and disobedience, otherwise I have plenty of means to make some people die without a place to bury them." Chu Feng clasped his five fingers slightly, and snorted coldly.

"I dare not!" Everyone shouted in unison.

"Okay, let me tell you some good news. Jingzhou is waiting to be rebuilt. The salaries of all officials will be doubled. In addition, from now on, Jingzhou will levy business tax!"

Chu Feng said with a hearty smile.

Everyone smiled wryly, but they were irritable in their hearts. After all, none of the officials could count on the salary of the official position. Counting on this thing, even concubines are not enough to support them!

"I thank my lord!"

Chu Feng waved his hand, it was too difficult to expect these people not to be greedy, what Chu Feng wanted was not to be too ugly, small greedy people could be tolerated, and if they were big greedy, they must be severely punished and investigated.

"In addition, after careful consideration, I hereby declare to the world that the titles of General Five Tigers, Good Five Sons, Military Aircraft Battalion, and Cabinet represent four identities."

"The five tiger generals represent the five most powerful generals under my command, the five good generals represent the five strongest generals under my command, and the military aircraft battalion is the strategic and tactical layout,"

"As for the cabinet, it is the talents of the second generation who are responsible for governing the states and counties and coordinating various affairs. All those who have entered the four major titles are treated as national scholars."

Chu Feng pondered for a long time, and finally spoke.

In fact, he is more inclined to go back to Hefei to talk, but he won't be able to go back for a while.

After hearing what Chu Feng said, all the generals in the hall were eager to try, and their faces showed excitement. After all, these titles sounded extremely rare, but it was something they didn't expect. These people will be famous all over the world in the future.

"My lord, if you dare to ask, is there anyone to choose?"

It was Zhao Fan who spoke, and he was quite happy when he returned a few days earlier, especially when he was reinstated.

After speaking, everyone looked at Chu Feng in unison.

"This is just a title, and it has nothing to do with favoritism. It's all based on strength." Chu Feng specially reminded, after all, some people will definitely be dissatisfied.

"Five Generals: Zhao Fan, Xu Chu, Tai Shici, Zhao Yun, Huang Zhong!"

Zhao Yun and Huang Zhong were a little nervous when Chu Feng read out each word.

In the end, it was a joy to hear that he was directly ranked among the five tiger generals, and it made the two of them increase their loyalty a lot.

Zhao Fan and Xu Chu laughed, and they knew that they would definitely be among the five tiger generals, after all, their combat prowess was obvious to all.

When it came to Gan Ning, he was a little bit annoyed, after all Zhao Fan, Xu Chu, Tai Shici, he had fought against each other, it was really good, but what is this Zhao Yun and Huang Zhong?
Huang Zhong and Gan Ning didn't believe it, Zhao Yun was said to be capable of defeating Zhao Fan, but he didn't know if it was true or not.

"Thank you, my lord!" All the generals clasped their fists together.

"Five good generals: Lu Meng, Lu Su, Zhang Liao, Gao Shun, Gan Ning!" Chu Feng spoke again. In fact, Gan Ning is not very suitable for five good generals, after all, he is still too impulsive.

However, Gan Ning has been with him for a long time, and he is in command of the navy, and the capture of Jingzhou in this battle is well planned, and he will not cause dissatisfaction.

In the hall, Gan Ning was satisfied.

The five tiger generals represent bravery, and the five good generals represent the commander. Chu Feng gave him the position of commander, which shows that he is quite satisfied with the navy he trained.

Thinking of this, his unhappiness disappeared.

When it came to Gao Shun, he looked at Chu Feng in surprise. He could feel that Chu Feng was optimistic about him, but he was not the first follower, but Chu Feng was so fond of him!
"Thank you, my lord!" The two clasped their fists together.

"Military aircraft battalion: Lu Su, Yan Xiang, Jia Xu, Lu Xun!" Chu Feng briefly sorted out the four strategies that he thought were not bad.

"Thank you, my lord!" Jia Xu bowed.

Chu Feng seems to be more recognized by him.

Although this military aircraft battalion sounds like nothing, it is obviously the core strategic and tactical layout that will be finalized from here, so they are the group of people that Chu Feng trusts the most.

"Cabinet: Lu Su, Zhang Zhao, Liu Ye, Zhuge Liang." Chu Feng said again: "These four titles are reserved for those who are capable. I hope that all those who are selected will not lose face with this title."

"What you have to do is to scare the enemy!"

"No!" Everyone shouted in unison.

This time, none of the four members of the cabinet were present, but someone discovered that this Lu Su was actually in the three positions of military, strategy, and politics. Good guy, how strong is this person?

They had indeed heard of Lu Su, who led troops to fight, governed states and counties, and made suggestions. It was just that Chu Feng listed Lu Su, obviously not because of his ability.

Chu Feng knew that Lu Su was a loyal and selfless person in history, and he was the first civil servant Chu Feng recruited, so he was trustworthy.

In addition, his various abilities are excellent, and Chu Feng can rest assured that he is directly asked to intervene in the military, government, and strategy. This is also the greatest affirmation of Lu Su's hard work in the past few years.

It's just that everyone in the hall began to discuss, Lu Su and the others knew about it, and convinced him, Zhang Zhao can be regarded as one of the four clans in Wu County, and is well-known for his strong internal affairs.

Liu Ye can be regarded as a veteran, but what is this Zhuge Liang?They haven't even heard of it.

Jia Xu stroked his beard and murmured in his heart. He found that Chu Feng was kind of caring towards Zhuge Liang, and he was not even under Chu Feng's rule, so he gave him a title first.

Dude, what's so special about this guy?
For a moment, Jia Xu was very curious. This Zhuge Liang made Chu Feng pay so much attention to him. He even said before that he would kill him if he didn't come. Obviously, he was afraid!

Chu Feng glanced at Jia Xu, and the two looked at each other from a distance. Chu Feng smiled lightly, as if he could see through what Jia Xu was thinking. Others didn't know how powerful Zhuge Liang was, but Chu Feng knew.

Posthumously titled Marquis Wu, he is one of the top ten philosophers of the Wu Temple!
Perhaps because of the myth of the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, there are more black people now, but in the official history, Zhuge Liang is almost impeccable.

Liu Bei defeated the foundation of the Shu Han, but Zhuge Liang spent several years rectifying and recovering, reflecting his strong governance ability and ability to dispatch and appoint.

Afterwards, Nanban was pacified to solve Yizhou's worries!
That’s not to mention, he went north with his whole outfit, and conquered Cao Wei’s Kyushu continent with a single state, and defeated the strong army with a weak brigade. Perhaps many people like the theory of results,

After all, none of the five crusades was a big success, and I thought Zhuge Liang was rubbish.

But from another perspective, it’s like playing League of Legends,
Opposite Liushen, Zhuge two-piece suit, but he went under the opposite defense tower to make the scalp of the opposite Liushen outfit player show numb, dare not go out of the defense tower, advancing and retreating with a certain degree, would he still say Zhuge Liangcai?
To change the analogy, it’s like Da Mao and Er Mao now, Er Mao now comes to a general, opens up the battlefield in Da Mao’s territory, and fights Da Mao timidly,
There is also a limit to advancing and retreating, Da Mao can't do anything to this general at all, how will Ermao people praise this general?How will the people of the world blow this general?How will the history books blow?

Zhuge Liang did similar things. Zhuge Liang has been praised in all dynasties, and he has been praised for almost 2000 years.

Only now that I have read a few novels and read a few eye-catching self-media, I feel that Zhuge Liang is rubbish, does not know how to use soldiers, and is properly black and black.

Remember, only the weak side opens up the battlefield to the enemy, and advances and retreats freely. This is the most powerful and handsome talent in all dynasties.

Ahem, digressing, although I am not a fan of Zhuge Liang, but there are really a lot of people who hate him, and I can’t say it quickly, so that readers can clearly understand something!

"Lu Su, Lu Meng, Tai Shici, Zhao Fan, and Huang Zhong are the five commanders of the army, each commanding ten thousand soldiers." Chu Feng said again.

"Zhao Yun, Zhang Liao, each commanded [-] cavalry. Gao Shun commanded [-] cavalry. In addition, Biao Wen was hired as the prefect of Nanyang, leading [-] troops to guard Yecheng, and Huo Jun assisted him."

Chu Feng looked at the crowd again and said.

"No!" Everyone agreed in unison.

"Gan Ning is the commander of the navy and is in charge of the navy. Zhang Yun is proficient in the water pattern of the Yangtze River and is the deputy commander. He is connected to the 30,000 navy in Jingzhou, with a total scale of [-] people."

"Xu Chu trained the Tiger Guards to 800 people and served as a veteran general. In addition, the Central Army expanded to a scale of 20,000 people. We must select elites."

Chu Feng began to arrange military affairs again.

At present, he has [-] sailors, [-] from the five armies, [-] cavalry from Zhang Liao, [-] from the Central Army, and [-] from Gao Shun's camp.

The battleable division is about [-]!

As for the county soldiers and local soldiers and horses, there are almost [-] in Jingyangxu and other places.Zhao Yun, who is about to expand, has five thousand cavalry and ten thousand central troops.

Chu Feng made an estimate. It is a conservative estimate. After all the recruits have been recruited and trained properly, the number of troops that can be mobilized is at most 120,000. Of course, some of them need to be stationed.

At that time, the peak strength of his command will be about 170,000!
Compared with the land and population under his command, it is not that large. At the moment, he occupies almost three states, and the population of the mountain is almost over ten million.

This meeting was very long, and Chu Feng made a plan for the civil, military, political, and commercial aspects. After discussing for an hour or two, everything was finalized in the end!
