The Three Kingdoms: A vicious plan was offered, and Liu Bei was stunned!

Chapter 204: Firmly disarmament and stabilizing the foundation, Luo Yuan sees Zi Lan speaks out
Liu Huan wiped the sweat off his forehead and tried hard to maintain his composure and make himself look less nervous, because he was a member of a noble family.

But what Du Mao said was really scary.

Ordinary people like to talk about gods, so don’t the nobles like it?
They will just like it more!
After all, I don’t have to farm or work, and I have food and drink but I feel spiritually empty.

Liu Huan decided to take a good look at Luo Yuan to see if he was really that amazing.

Shi Tao went to find Xu Shu and waited for a while because Luo Yuan was in an important meeting!

The veterans were even more reluctant to retire because of the resurrection of the fish.

"I have to make it clear to them that I am not blessed by God. The fish came back to life because they were not dead at all!"

Xu Shu said: "But my lord, the soldiers don't believe it!"

The soldiers in the army believed that Luo Yuan was destined by heaven, as if Luo Yuan was really blessed by heaven. If they fought for Luo Yuan, they would also be protected by heaven!
After all, Lord Luo is blessed by God. It is reasonable for God to bless them as Lord Luo's men. They will definitely win the battle in the future.

When the army fights a war, there will definitely be casualties. Soldiers are used to seeing life and death, and they tend to believe in metaphysics more.

"Then explain it clearly!"

Huang Zhong smiled and said, "My lord, why do you care about this? It's a good thing that the soldiers are willing to believe. Our army is in high spirits now!"

Gan Ning said quickly: "I think we can postpone the disarmament for a while. Many old navy soldiers are reluctant to retire!"

Luo Yuan was almost mad with rage. The soldiers were ignorant, so are you generals also ignorant?

It is true that he has money and food now, but is it a joke to support an army now?

Even though the things he looted from Yingchuan were a lot, they could only support an army of 50,000 at most, which would only last for a year and a half.

Then what to do?
Only by reducing the army and organizing production can we stabilize the base, and then we can make porcelain and organize production, so that it can be stable!

But there are not so many people, so we can only cut them from the military.

I'm planning to practice my internal strength now, and you guys actually want me to do whatever I want?

"That's not what I meant. Reducing the army is for long-term development and to stabilize the local area. Do you think we can sit back and relax with the current reserves? We are doing big things, okay?" Luo Yuan said earnestly, "The soldiers are ignorant, and you are also ignorant?"

"If we want to gain a foothold in Jiangling, we need the support of the people. What else can help us gain the support of the people better than letting the veterans go home? The veterans go home, the military government gives them compensation, and they take the money back, and then they are given land. How can the veterans' families not support us?"

Luo Yuan took a sip of boiled water and said, "The previous incidents of the yellow dog hitting the water, the tree spontaneously combusting, and the fish turning white were all plotted against us. Why? Because our army has just arrived and has not yet gained a firm foothold. This is the same as attacking a large army halfway across a river. The local nobles are eyeing us covetously. Only by gaining a firm foothold and gaining the support of the people can our army gain a firm foothold in Jiangling. Once the foundation is stable, we can cross the river and take Changsha. Otherwise, our retreat will be cut off, so how can we attack Han Xuan?"

"Gentlemen, therefore, laying off the veterans and properly placing them is the key to the future prosperity of our army. We must lay off the veterans!"

Xu Shu smiled bitterly and shook his head. It’s too difficult!

The old soldiers in the army are extremely slippery. Does that mean they can just get out of here if they are told to?

The army in Jiangling has a great feature, that is, the soldiers are all from the same group, and they are related to each other. When fighting, they can rest assured to leave their backs to their relatives, and when doing things, they will do it together.

If the old soldiers who take the lead are unwilling to reduce the number of troops, then a large group of people will be unwilling to do so.

It would be better for Luo Yuan to have a destiny and put on a halo and just push forward.

Huang Zhong and Gan Ning had similar ideas. They thought that the Mandate of Heaven was useful. If it were another lord, they would have publicized it a long time ago. They would not have forbidden them to use the excuse of the Mandate of Heaven like Luo Yuan did.

Luo Yuan knocked on the table and said, "In short, we only have one month. We must reduce our troops within one month. Our army's 50,000 troops are enough for 20,000 naval forces and 30,000 infantry."

It doesn't take too many troops to take Changsha. Guan Yu only used a thousand men to attack Changsha!

This is definitely not right, it's just bragging, but Luo Yuan thinks 50,000 people are enough to attack Changsha. The Xiangjiang River in Changsha is connected to the Yangtze River, and both water and land are connected!

All of my men are strong men, what can Han Xuan use to play with me!

Besides, Luo Yuan hasn’t used his ultimate move against Changsha yet?
Luo Yuan is not worried about the future at all. As long as he takes the first step, everything will be fine.

Now that the soldiers are being laid off, they still have time to plant some spinach and sorghum, reclaim some wasteland, build some water conservancy projects, etc. when they return home.

In short, there is still a lot to do!

If all else fails, you can let these veterans come out to build roads. As a time-traveling boss from a country obsessed with infrastructure, how can you not build infrastructure?

These things are much more important than fighting a war.

Luo Yuan made the decision: "We must reduce the military. We must talk to the veterans and ask them to retire. Since they all want to work for me, then retiring and returning home to farm is also working for me. It's the same no matter where you are!"

Luo Yuan adjourned the meeting, and Shi Tao came in to talk about something. Xu Shu said, "My lord, Liu Huan must be representing the local nobles to test our army's attitude!"

That's for sure.
Luo Yuan naturally knew, so he went to meet him. He took Xu Shu with him, which was considered giving him face.

But when he arrived at the main hall and saw Liu Huan, Luo Yuan's mouth twitched.

Oh my god, you look like a big-headed singer. The head from a distance looks exactly the same.

I don’t know if I can sing!

How about a song about rushing through the nine states?

When Liu Huan saw Luo Yuan, he was also stunned. He saw Luo Yuan standing in the main hall. On the wall behind him, two black shadows fell behind his head like dragon horns. It looked as if Luo Yuan had grown two dragon horns.

You are not an ordinary person, you are the reincarnation of a dragon!
In fact, it was two craftsmen outside the door who were chopping trees. The branches blocked the sunlight and formed a shadow that fell on the wall behind Luo Yuan.'

Xu Shu also saw it and immediately thought, could this be God’s will?

It’s destiny.

Shi Tao also widened his eyes and said, "Luo Gongqi, you still say that you are not destined to be born."

Huang Zhong and Gan Ning were both beaming with joy, but Luo Yuan himself could not see it. "Zi Lan, I am glad to see you here. If you want to know anything, just ask!"

Liu Huan quickly collected his thoughts and said carefully, "Sir, I wonder how you plan to treat the local nobles?"

"What are you nobles worried about?"

Liu Huan smiled bitterly. Don't you know what we are afraid of? Knowing that Luo Yuan was asking him a question on purpose to make him speak out, Liu Huan looked at the shadow dragon horn on Luo Yuan's head and said, "Your Majesty is using thunderbolt tactics in Jiangxia, and the nobles are terrified. I am afraid that Your Majesty will not tolerate us!"
