Three Kingdoms: Liu Bei seeks the master and seeks to conquer the world

Chapter 190 Liu Bei's eldest daughter, the discussion of accumulating grain to build a city

In the second year of Chuping, December.

Linzi City, State Shepherd's Mansion, Inner Courtyard.

Zhang Fei was like an ant on a hot pot, pacing back and forth, looking anxious.

Guan Yu looked into the inner room from time to time, his red phoenix eyes were a little more worried.

Compared with Zhang Fei's anxiety and Guan Yu's worry, Liu Bei is playing chess with Zheng Jing calmly, with a gentle face and calm breath.

However, the frequent mistakes on the chessboard clearly exposed Liu Bei's absent-mindedness.

While shaking his feather fan, Zheng Ping was thinking about how to make Liu Bei, who made frequent mistakes, turn defeat into victory.

In the inner room, bursts of heart-piercing sounds sounded.

It was King Pingyuan's niece and Liu Bei's current wife, Guo Zhao, who was facing a critical moment of childbirth.

Suddenly.

There was a cry of a baby.

After a while.

A middle-aged Yinpo appeared in the courtyard with a crying baby in her arms: "Congratulations to the envoy, Xiaoxi, the joy of Nongwa, the daughter weighs seven catties and two, and the mother is safe."

Zhang Fei charged forward with one stride, and hugged her with his arms: "This is my virtuous niece, don't fall down."

"Ahem, third brother!" Guan Yu reminded with a light cough.

Zhang Fei's outstretched hand was hanging in the air, and then he withdrew it: "Haha, I forgot, I forgot, I have to hug first!"

Liu Bei got up slowly, seemingly without surprise or joy, but the chess piece that had not yet landed on the board was subconsciously pulled in his palm.

Carefully holding the crying baby girl in her arms, the crying stopped abruptly, followed by laughter.

"Laughing when you see your father is a good omen, congratulations!" Zheng Ping lightly shook his feather fan and came to Liu Bei's side.

This little compliment made Liu Bei unable to hold back the joy in his heart: "I have been wandering for so many years, and finally I have a baby."

Guan Yu and Zhang Fei also congratulated each other.

It doesn't matter whether it's a boy or a girl, the important thing is that Liu Bei has a child of his own, which is a good omen.

When Cao Cao was as old as Liu Bei, Cao Ang started studying in the school.

"Your Majesty, please choose a name first, and then go to accompany Madam."

"Although Shi Jun doesn't care about men and women, Madam definitely does."

Zheng Ping kindly reminded.

Liu Bei spread out the chess pieces in his hand, subconsciously said: "Let's call it 'Yi'."

Zhang Fei stared at the chess piece in Liu Bei's hand, and said bluntly, "Brother, isn't this name too random?"

"Third brother!" Guan Yu glared at Zhang Fei: "Read more."

Zheng Ping shook his fan and said with a smile: "There is a saying in "Guang Ya", that the player of the game is also the appearance. It means beauty."

"The five elements of Yi character belong to wood. There is a saying in "Shang Shu. Hong Fan": Wood is straight and straight. It is the style of being able to bend and stretch, and a man."

"The name of Shijun is 'Yi', in the hope that this woman can inherit the beauty of his wife and the wisdom of Shijun."

Liu Bei laughed loudly: "Xianmou knows my heart well!"

Seeing Liu Bei carrying Liu Yi into the inner room, Zhang Fei scratched his head in doubt: "Can the word Yi be interpreted in this way? Mr. Xianmou, did you really think so?"

Zheng Ping shook his head and chuckled: "Although Shi Jun doesn't care whether Madam will give birth to a boy or a daughter, he still hopes to have a boy in his heart."

"A chess player should play against the world, so as to inherit the ambition of envoys to help the Han Dynasty."

"However, such an explanation may make Madam mistakenly think that it is a daughter that Shi Jun complained about giving birth to, and secretly complain."

"But this Yi word comes from the envoy's mouth, and it is inconvenient for the envoy to change it, so I can only give meaning to the Yi word."

"Fortunately, I read a lot of books when I was young. As long as I quote the classics, Madam will not have any complaints against the envoy."

"The chess player is smart, beautiful, and manly. After 20 years, she can be called a talented woman in the world!"

Guan Yu stroked his beautiful beard slightly, with admiration in his eyes.

Although Zheng Ping usually does not rule the classics, he can quote the classics as easily as he can at his fingertips, which is not inferior to the great Confucians who ruled the classics in Linzi City.

Zhang Fei suddenly realized: "Mr. Xianmou is indeed a great talent, and he can quote classics and classics. I thought that the elder brother named his niece Xian because he was playing chess."

Zheng Ping turned around with a chuckle: "Let's leave first."

There is a formal etiquette for naming. Liu Bei was asked to name the eldest daughter at this time in order to appease Guo Zhao who had just given birth.

Liu Bei is also a person of status and status now.

The limitation of the concept of the times, even if Liu Bei didn't say it on the surface, he would definitely have regrets in his heart.

Similarly, Guo Zhao will also feel anxious because he failed to give birth to Liu Bei's eldest son.

Many emperors, generals and prime ministers will bring disaster to Xiao Qiang because their main wives do not have an eldest son.

There are even cases where the main wife poisons other women in the inner courtyard.

And once the main wife has evil intentions, even a benevolent Liu Bei will feel unhappy.

Zheng Ping will not gamble on human nature, because human nature is the least worth betting on.

Once there is a crack, no matter how you repair it, it will be difficult to restore the crack to its original state.

Zheng Ping is used to nip danger in the bud!
After leaving the inner courtyard, Zheng Ping came to the government office where he worked.

Liu Hui is a very capable governor. During the period when Liu Bei and Zheng Ping left Qingzhou, he handled Qingzhou's government affairs very properly.

This also allowed Zheng Ping to have enough time to analyze the intelligence of the states and counties, so as to infer the general trend of the world.

"Cao Cao sent troops to Yingchuan, but was blocked by Sun Jian in Xiangcheng. The two sides fought for three days, and each led their troops back."

"Wancheng was conquered by Liu Biao's Zhonglang General Huang Zhong."

"Yuan Shu abandoned Nanyang and Yingchuan, and stationed troops in Runan."

"Yuan Shu sent Sun Jian to attack Zhou Xin, the prefect of Danyang County, and Zhou Ang, the prefect of Jiujiang County, and led troops into Jiujiang County to kill Chen Wen, the governor of Yangzhou."

"Yuan Yi, the prefect of Shanyang County, claimed to be the governor of Yangzhou under Yuan Shao's order, and led his troops to the south."

"Zhang Miao expelled Yuan Xu, the prefect of Jiyin County, and Yuan Xu fled south to Peiguo."

"Ma Tenghan then attacked Xihe County, and the Baibo bandits fled south."

"Gongsun Zan and Liu Yu had a big fight, for some reason."

"There are rumors in every prefecture that Qingzhou Mu privately hid and handed down the national jade seal."

"Liu Chong submitted a letter to resign from the post of Yuzhou pastor, and the court changed Guo Gong to be the governor of Yuzhou."

"Yuan Shu wanted to make Yuan Si the Minister of Chen, but was rejected by the King of Chen Liu Chong."

"Zongzheng went to the emperor and punished Liu Dai, the former governor of Yanzhou, to contemplate behind closed doors for three years, and the emperor named Liu Yao, Liu Dai's younger brother, the governor of Yangzhou."

"Xiapi Prime Minister Ruo Rong is in the temple of Guangxing Buddhist Temple in Xiapi County, and the people of Xiapi County are required to recite Buddhist scriptures day and night."

"Pengcheng Chancellor Xue Li was dismissed by Tao Qian."

"."

Zheng Ping couldn't help frowning when he saw the scattered information from various states and counties.

Since the day Qingzhou began to intervene in the affairs of the world, the changes in the general trend of the world have gradually become complicated.

Even Ma Teng and Han Sui appeared in Bingzhou!

And Yuan Shu, as expected, wantonly spread the matter of Liu Bei's private possession of the Imperial Jade Seal.

"Liu Dai is lucky."

Zheng Ping put down the information, his eyes became more thoughtful.

For Liu Dai, after thinking behind closed doors for three years, this punishment was almost nothing.

The reason why Liu Dai's punishment was reduced was Liu Dai's younger brother Liu Yao!
Chen Wen, the governor of Yangzhou, was killed by Yuan Shu. In order to save Liu Dai, Liu Yao took the opportunity to invite the governor of Yangzhou to pacify Yangzhou for the imperial court.

Seeing Liu Yao's invitation, Dong Zhuo naturally readily agreed.

With Liu Dai and Liu Yao's family members in Chang'an, Dong Zhuo was not afraid that Liu Yao would cause trouble after the pacification of Yangzhou.

Zheng Ping was not surprised that Liu Chong would resign from Yuzhou Mu.

Yuzhou Mu was supposed to drive ducks to the shelves and let Liu Chong be the one. The purpose was to let Liu Chong contain Yuan Shu.

But now that Yuan Shu was defeated, Dong Zhuo didn't want an uncontrolled Han clan to be the shepherd of Yuzhou, so he sent an envoy to ask Liu Chong to be the shepherd of Yangzhou.

Liu Chong naturally refused to leave Chen Guo.

In Chen Guo, Liu Chong is the hereditary King Chen.

But if he went to Yangzhou, Liu Chong's hereditary King Chen would be gone.

Therefore, Liu Chong immediately resigned from the post of Yuzhou pastor, and Dong Zhuo also took advantage of the situation and reassigned Guo Gong as the governor of Yuzhou, and asked Liu Yao to be the governor of Yangzhou.

The powers of state pastors and governors are vastly different.

Dong Zhuo just played a game of power, so he resigned from the post of Yuzhou Mu, who was a relative of the Han family.

Because Liu Chong took the initiative to resign, even Liu Bei could not intervene.

And Guo Gong is from Yingchuan. In order to win over Yingchuan prefect Cao Cao, he directly chose to join forces with Cao Cao to fight Yuan Shu.

Today's Yuzhou has become a situation where Chen Wang and Liu Chong are neutral, and Yuan Shu, Guo Gong and Cao Cao divide Yuzhou from each other.

However, Qingzhou is currently unable to intervene in the chaos in Yuzhou and Yangzhou.

Letting Tai Shici go south to Lujiang County is just a chance for Liu Bei to establish diplomatic relations with the Wujun gentry headed by Lu Kang, the prefect of Lujiang.

a few days later.

Zheng Ping submitted Qingzhou's strategic plan for the coming year to Liu Bei for approval.

Although Yuzhou is in chaos again, Yanzhou has tended to be stable.

Zang Hong had the support of Zhang Miao, Chen Gong, Ying Shao, Bao Xin and others, and adopted Chen Gong's good policy of light corvee and low tax, focusing on restoring people's livelihood.

Tao Qian in the south, because of the chaos in Yuzhou and Yangzhou, stationed troops in Pengcheng, Xiapi and Guangling to prevent Yuan Shu from going north.

The conflict between Yuan Shao and Gongsun Zan became more and more serious, and there was no time to care about Qingzhou anymore.

In other words.

Except for the pirate Guan Cheng in Donglai County, Qingzhou has almost no foreign troubles.

This is a great opportunity to accumulate grain widely and build a city high!
"Qingzhou is fertile and wild for two thousand miles. On the left, there is a man who bears the sea, and on the right, there is a solid mountain and river. The terrain is steep, comparable to the Guanzhong of Gaozu, and Hanoi of Guangwu. This is the place where martial arts can be used."

"However, the terrain of Linzi City is flat, and it is difficult to defend. If there is a surprise attack by bandit soldiers, all civil and military families will easily fall into the hands of bandits. This is a big taboo in using martial arts."

"A city that is easy to defend but difficult to attack must have the advantages of mountains and rivers being conveniently shaped, and dogs and teeth intertwined. Four miles to the northwest of Guangxian County, surrounded by steep streams and deep water blocking, you can build a city here called Guanggu City. "

"The people who moved to Qi State and Linzi City entered Guanggu City. They can attack when they advance, and defend when they retreat. They will use their military force in the world, and they will have no worries about their future."

Although Linzi City has a long heritage, it is not an easy city to defend.

If it is only regarded as a place for trade, Linzi city with developed transportation and flat terrain is naturally the best.

However, in troubled times, there are many wars and disasters, and a city that is easy to defend and difficult to attack is far more worth having than a city with convenient transportation.

In the fifth year of Yongjia in the Western Jin Dynasty, the former governor of Zhao Qingzhou built Guanggu City to the west of Guang County based on Cao Yi and Linzi's "difficult to defend", and moved the governors of Qingzhou Governor Department, Qi County and Linzi County from Linzi City to Guanggu city.

It was from this time that Qingzhou's military status began to turn.

In the third year of Long'an in the Eastern Jin Dynasty, Murongde, a nobleman of Xianbei, accepted the suggestion of Shangshu Pan Cong, established a country in Guanggu City and proclaimed himself emperor, known as Nanyan in history.

Pan Cong said in the middle of his suggestion: Qingqi fertile soil, named Dongqin, with two thousand earthworks, more than one hundred thousand households, solid fortresses in all directions, and rich in the sea, it can be called a country of military use.The heroes of the three qi are ready to wait, who doesn't want to be the leader of the Ming Dynasty to establish the size of the merits!Guanggu is the camp of Cao Yi, and the mountains and rivers are obstructed, which is enough to be the capital of an emperor.

Although Nanyan Kingdom only existed for 12 years, it made Qingzhou the only place in the history of Qilu Land where the capital was proclaimed emperor.

Zheng Ping is from Qingzhou, so he naturally hopes that Liu Bei's military and political focus will be in Qingzhou.

As for the military disadvantages of Linzi City, Zheng Ping was also very aware of it.

When traveling in Zhuzhou County, Zheng Ping made a special trip to inspect the terrain in the northwest of Guang County.

Cao Yi is indeed a capable person!

Surrounded by precipitous streams and deep water blocking, this is an excellent place to build a fortified city.

Only with a dangerous and strong city can the career of emperor be truly achieved!

Cao Cao chose to build his capital in Xu County, also because of Xu County's dangerous terrain and intertwined mountains and rivers.

Liu Bei did not immediately approve Zheng Ping's plan of "accumulating grain widely and building a city high". Instead, he called Qingzhou civil and military officials to discuss together.

Liu Bei recognized the wide accumulation of grain.

But Gao Zhucheng, Liu Bei did not dare to make a decision easily.

This is not to strengthen Linzi City, but to build another city!
To build a city, it will take at least ten years and more than [-] labors.

It takes ten years to build a city, which is a waste of money and people.

Therefore, most people will choose to repair the ancient city.

Just like Linzi City, since the city was built, it has been repaired repeatedly for more than a thousand years.

Sun Qian is from Qingzhou, and he also knows the geographical location of the city that Zheng Ping mentioned.

Although he agrees that it is a good place to build a city, Sun Qian does not agree with building a new city: "Show me, building a Guanggu city is good for the future, but it is not good for the present."

"Using hundreds of thousands of people in Qingzhou to bear corvee labor for more than ten years, it is against the benevolence and righteousness of the envoy to waste money and money."

Guoyuan also said: "Although Linzi City does not have steep terrain, it is high and deep, and it is also a thousand-year-old city. As long as you guard carefully, it will not be easily breached."

"What's more, even a city that is easy to defend and difficult to attack will eventually be breached."

"There is no city in this world that can completely rely on the convenience of the location to defend the city."

"With this human and financial resources, it is better to reclaim more rivers and canals and fertile fields to benefit the people."

Zhang Zhaodao: "Linzi City is not suitable for defending the city. There are still many cities in Qingzhou that are easy to defend and difficult to attack. They can be used after some repairs. Building new cities will easily cause public resentment."

Zhizhong Liu Hui, Gongcao Zhao Yu and other Qingzhou literati almost all spoke out against it.

As for the generals, whether it was Guan Yu Zhang Fei, or Qian Zhao Tian Yu and others, they kept silent.

Building a new city that is easy to defend and difficult to attack is not conducive to people's livelihood but beneficial to the military. Naturally, generals are unwilling to oppose it.

For a while, Liu Bei fell into a dilemma.

This was the first time that Zheng Ping's plan was opposed by almost all Qingzhou civil servants.

　It's only 140 monthly tickets, please beg.

　　Three shifts will start next month.

　　Sweat, the timed point has become an immediate release, embarrassing
