The last three kingdoms

Chapter 1210
That night, Liu Chen and Liu Yin had a sleepless night talking by candlelight.

The most talked about is not the military affairs of Jizhou. Liu Chen is not good at marching and fighting. Although he followed Liu Yin to the Northern Expedition as an army supervisor, he was more often the role of the logistics minister. To assist Liu Yin.

This time, Jizhou's military affairs, Liu Chen naturally left the full power to Liu Yin to handle, he can't get involved, and he doesn't need to intervene, let Liu Yin handle it, he can rest assured.

They have one monarch and one minister, and what they discuss most is the matter of discussing Wu on the southern front.

In Huaibei, Liu Yin made a plan to conquer Wu for three years. This plan has not yet been implemented. Liu Chen urgently called him back to his teacher's imperial edict. Liu Yin can only put down what he is doing and head north in a hurry.

Now Liu Yin is about to march north to Xianbei again, and he doesn't know how long it will take to go. If Liu Yin doesn't make preparations for conquering Wu, then in the end, the three-year conquering of Wu will only be one sentence empty words.

Therefore, Liu Yin and Liu Chen discussed the most about this matter.

In this Northern Expedition, Liu Yin plans to use all the troops of the Central Army and the Right Army, the Wudangfei Army, the Yang'an Army of the Left Army, the Guanzhong Army that was originally in Jizhou, and part of the Jiang Bin Army. He will serve as the new governor of the left army, and Wang She will be the deputy governor of the left army.

The hussar general Fu Qian, who previously served as the governor of the left army, will no longer hold this position this time, but will be transferred to the governor of Pingnan, who will be fully responsible for the preparations for the attack on Wu and the defense of the southern front.

Liu Chen didn't have any objection to this. After Liu Yin's northern expedition, the southern front really needed a heavyweight general to sit in command, and Fu Chen was undoubtedly the most suitable candidate.

Although Lu Kang, the governor of the State of Wu, has died of illness, the generals of the State of Wu have fallen, and talents are scarce, but the State of Wu is still a country with a standing army of more than 20, and its military strength should not be underestimated. If there is no one on the southern front If a heavyweight general sits in charge, it will be difficult to suppress the eagerness of the Wu people.

However, Liu Yin left Fu Qian on the southern line. What is more important is not to guard, but to plan a grand plan to defeat Wu. If he wants to defeat Wu, the Han army must have a naval force that can rival Wu. Now, The water power of the Han army is almost blank. It is also a great challenge for Fu Qian to build a sizable water army within three years.

But Liu Yin found a good helper for Fu Qian.

"Wang Jun?" Liu Chen couldn't help being confused when he heard such an unfamiliar name.

Although Wang Jun had just been promoted to be the prefect of Runan, he was considered among the ranks of the two thousand stone officials, but there are so many prefects in the world, and it is impossible for Liu Chen to write down the names of all the prefects, so when he heard Liu Yin recommending this person, Liu Chen felt extremely strange.

"Wang Jun, courtesy name Shizhi, was a native of Hongnong in Sili. He first promoted Xiaolian and worked in Hedong. Later, he was transferred to General Zhengnan and joined the army. He was appreciated by Yanghu. When the Jin Dynasty fell, he served as General Cheqi and Zhonglang , recently served as the prefect of Runan." Liu Yin briefly told Liu Chen about Wang Jun's resume.

"Wang Jun is a solemn and dignified man, well versed in classics, and ambitious. When I was in Runan, I had contact with him. The strategy he proposed to defeat Wu won my heart. I intend to recommend Wang Jun as the governor of Yizhou. , and awarded the title of General Long Xiang, and ordered him to build warships in Yizhou and prepare to build a navy."

"Yizhou Inspector?" Liu Chen couldn't help frowning slightly. Yizhou is different from other states, it is the place where Ji Han started. For decades, the Ji Han court has only owned one state, and that is Yizhou. Those who served as the governor of Yizhou Mu Yizhou were all chief assistants like Zhuge Liang and Jiang Wan. Now that a surrendered minister from the former Jin Dynasty was appointed as the governor of Yizhou, Liu Chen expressed some concern. If it was another state, Liu Chen I wouldn't think about it that way.

Liu Yin chuckled. In the minds of the Shu people, Yizhou is naturally the biggest, but now that the Shu people have won the world, the territory they occupy is no longer the land of Yizhou. Now that the capital is moved to Luoyang, Yizhou is very important. Sex has dropped a lot.

Liu Yin's plan to appoint Wang Jun as the governor of Yizhou was carefully considered. Yizhou is located in the upper reaches of the Yangtze River. In history, the Western Jin Dynasty destroyed Wu. Although six armies were dispatched, it was Wang Jun, the governor of Yizhou who really played a key role. He sent troops out of the Three Gorges, and went down the river like a broken bamboo all the way, until he arrived at Jianye, forcing Soochow to surrender.Liu Yuxi, a poet of the Tang Dynasty, even wrote a special poem: "Wang Junlou's boat went down to Yizhou, and Jinling's royal spirit was sadly collected. Qianxun's iron locks sank to the bottom of the river, and stones came out of a stream of flags."

There are historical reasons and practical considerations for using Wang Jun. Now the Han army does have shortcomings in governing the water army. Even a famous general like Fu Qian Luoxian is proficient in land warfare but knows nothing about water warfare. It is obviously not appropriate for Fu Qiandan to be the governor of Pingnan, and he is here to preside over the overall situation. It is obviously not appropriate for him to do the specific preparations for the construction of the navy and the warship.

However, Wang Jun is proficient in this way. The buildings and boats he presided over are not inferior to the Wu Kingdom, which is known as the world's number one naval force. That's why in the battle against Wu, it was as powerful as a broken bamboo and invincible.

"Your Majesty, Yizhou is now the same as Yuzhou and Jingzhou. They are both the land of the Han Dynasty. Wang Jun is also a subject of the Han Dynasty. I believe that whoever is beneficial to the country can be the governor of Yizhou. Wang Junshan is good at building ships and controlling the water army. Your Majesty Using him as the governor of Yizhou, even if he has the right to mobilize resources and do things cheaply, after three years, if the navy is established, the plan to defeat Wu will be feasible."

Liu Yin insisted on appointing Wang Jun, and Liu Chen was relieved. As Liu Yin said, the pattern of the world has changed early, and Yizhou is no longer the Yizhou of the past. Today's Yizhou, Jingzhou, Yuzhou and other places There is not much difference between states. If we must say that they are different, it is only the complex of Shu people.

Later, Liu Yin recommended Sun Xiu to serve as Wang Jun's deputy, and appointed him the post of Tiger Wing General to assist Wang Jun in managing the water army.

This general of the Sun clan, who was born in Jiangdong, has been idle in writing since he surrendered to the Han Dynasty.And Liu Yin knew that Sun Xiu was a rare naval general with rich experience. When the Han army lacked generals, Sun Xiu was undoubtedly a more suitable candidate.

Liu Yin's principle of employing people is eclectic. If Wang Jun and Sun Xiu are capable, he will transfer them without hesitation, and never worry about whether they are loyal or not.Now that they have surrendered to Ji Han, they are already a part of the Ji Han court. Do not use doubtful people and do not doubt employment. This is Liu Yin's principle of employing people. Now that they have been selected, they will naturally be empowered to play their best. their level.
