Survival Three Kingdoms

Chapter 801 Three unexpected

Zhou Cang stayed in Jibei for nearly ten days before returning to Xiang County, and the journey back and forth took more than 20 days, Sima Yi dared not make any changes.

On September [-]th, Zhou Cang received Zhou Xin's report that Wuxi King Sha Mochan returned to offer a plan to lure Mengda, the hidden danger in Jingnan was eliminated, and he was ready to attack Jiangxia.Unexpectedly, Wei Yan could still accept such a disciple. It seems that the blue is better than the blue, and he is better than Wei Yan and Deng Ai in some aspects. Zhou Xin has a strong interest in Sha Mozan.

The most rare thing is that Shamo-zan has a special status and was born in the Wuxi tribe. If Shamo-zan is reused, it will help ease the gap between the Han and other ethnic groups, and it will better demonstrate the equality of all beings in the Han Dynasty. Regardless of origin, only virtue and talent are valued.The eldest daughter Zhou Yan was targeted by Chen Still, and the youngest daughter Zhou Lan was still in her boudoir...

Zhou Cang was a little surprised that Zhou Xin was going to send troops to Jiangxia and then go north to Xiangyang. He didn't expect his son to be in command of the army for the first time would be so courageous. With veteran generals like Gan Ning and Tai Shixiang, even if they lose, they will not be defeated.He just sent someone to deliver a letter to Yu Jin, and paid close attention to the Jiangxia war.

Lu Xun is planning for the next decisive battle, and Zhou Cang still has a lot to do. He handed over the military affairs of Xiangxian County to Deng Ai, who arrived with the order, and devoted himself to drawing up the blueprint for the future world.

The central system with the Privy Council as the core and the local management system with county and county systems are becoming more and more mature. The military structure of the five-army commander-in-chief system works well, but Zhou Cang still feels that some fly in the ointment is the election of state and county officials and the role of the parliament. To be improved.He has tried his best to promote it in various ways, but the overall economic development is backward, the information transmission is not smooth, and the quality of the people needs to be improved.

The territory of the Han Dynasty is too large, and it takes nearly a month to transmit information from the central government to the local government, which will inevitably affect office efficiency. Whether the House of Representatives can represent public opinion in the widest range has been questioned, and Zhou Cang even came up with the idea of ​​establishing a federal system.After five days of hard thinking, Zhou Cang decided to delegate power to the frontier states. Mengzhou, Jianzhou, Jizhou, Jeju, and Yingzhou can be autonomous, choose officials and make their own laws, but have no military power.

In a blink of an eye, it was October [-]th, and Li Hao rushed to Xiang County.Although Zhou Cang had already learned some information from Yu Jin, he still listened carefully to the whole story of the Jingzhou Battle.

Zhou Cang had three surprises.The first one did not expect that Zhou Xin could stabilize Jingnan so quickly, instead of throwing money at the people, he established Yuelu Academy and bought Sun Quan's warship.The second one did not expect Sha Zan to be born out of nowhere, his intelligence was comparable to Xu Shu, and Zhou Xin was able to reuse Sha Zan and a group of young generals.The third unexpected thing is naturally to seize the two counties, behead Wei generals Xia Houhe, Wen Dai, Hu Zun, and Hu Fen, Wen Pin died of illness, Wen Xiu returned, Meng Da was captured, the Wei army lost 9 to [-] people, and the Han army only lost A loss of [-] is perfect.It's just a pity that Gan Ning was seriously injured, Li Hao made a special trip to visit via Lujiang, Gan Ning's life was saved, but at least a year and a half of training was needed, and it was not certain whether he would be able to fight the enemy again in the future.

Whether it is to voluntarily give up attacking Xiangyang or be forced to withdraw the army, so that the main battlefield is placed in Jiangxia, it is really a coup. It's a lose-lose situation.

Zhou Cang thinks that Zhou Xin's handling of the actions of retaining Au Zhi and alienating Han Qian is quite appropriate, but Zhou Cang is somewhat worried about the two people sent by Zhou Xin.

Wen Xiu, a key figure in the Jiangxia Battle, was a little terrified when he saw Zhou Cang. After some tests, Zhou Cang felt that although Wen Xiu's character was a bit contemptible, he still had some talents.Talent cannot be wasted. Zhou Cang ordered the Military Academy to add a navy academy and divide it into river and sea departments: the stone city was renamed Jinling, Wenxiu was responsible for organizing the river department, and Gan Xiang built a sea academy in Quanzhou.It is estimated that after the establishment of the college, Gan Ning's injuries will be healed. At that time, Gan Ning will be the dean, and Wen Xiu and Gan Xiang will be the vice deans.

How to deal with Mengda?It is difficult for Zhou Cang to comment on Meng Da. Meng Da is talented but has bad intentions. In other words, he is the only one in Meng Da's heart. He is double-faced and can betray anyone. How dare he use this kind of person?Son, you really gave me a problem.

The teacher was worried, and Deng Ai came up with three ideas: kill, since Meng Da has ulterior motives, he can simply kill him; imprison, continue to be imprisoned, maybe it will come in handy at some time, such as entering Sichuan in the future; flow, exile Meng Da to a remote place land, let it fend for itself.

Killing is the easiest, but I'm afraid it will hurt Zhou Cang's reputation.Prisoner, I don't know how long he will be imprisoned, and Meng Da has to guard against his reneging.It seems that flow is the best, where should it flow?Zhou Cang didn't want to put Meng Da in Jeju, Zhou Yuan was not very peaceful, plus Meng Da would only kill Zhou Yuan, if someone else Zhou Cang would consider it, he couldn't plot against his son.

After much deliberation, Zhou Cang suddenly came up with a good idea. Gan Xiang once reported that he found a big island in Nanyang, and most of the islands were aborigines. If the big island was not the Philippines, it should be Malaysia.So Zhou Cang appointed Meng Da as the general of Nanyang, and Dongli Gun as joining the army, and ordered Yujin to divide [-] troops from Shouchun's surrender, and Gan Xiang sent Meng Da to the island, so that Meng Da could develop Nanyang for himself.

Cao Pi lost his army and lost his generals, and Zhou Xin took Jiangxia and Jiangling, which changed the situation of the battle again.It seems that the war plan agreed with Lu Xun can be advanced, at least the process will be shortened. Zhou Cang needs to re-understand the situation of both sides and how to use troops.

Deng Ai suggested that the original plan would remain unchanged, but that Zhou Xin could open up a battlefield in Jingzhou and draw the Wei army to provide cover for the war.Although there is some suspicion of claiming merit for Zhou Xin, Zhou Cang thinks it is justified.

Zhou Cang ordered Li Hao to tell Zhou Xin that if Cao Pi returned to Luoyang, he could look for opportunities to capture Xiangyang and Fancheng, and approach Wancheng further, but he should not be greedy for merit, and everything must be stable.Considering that the navy's role would be reduced in the follow-up battle, Zhou Cang ordered Pei Feng to dispatch two thousand Qingqi to Li Hao to bring back.

After Li Hao left, Zhou Cang wrote a letter to report the victory. With Sha Zan as the leader, he suggested that the Privy Council should reward the meritorious service, including veteran Gan Ning, Tai Shixiang, and newcomers such as Feng Jian, Su Li, and Wang Chuan. The achievements of Zhou Xin were only a few. He still doesn't want Zhou Xin to be too popular.

What pleased Zhou Cang the most was not defeating Cao Pi, but seeing the growth of the younger generation. Since Zhou Wen and Zhang Jiong passed away, Zhou Cang has been worried about echelon construction. In order to train the team and decentralize power, Zhou Cang carefully designed Xun Chen, Xu Shu, and Lu Xun were driving three carriages, while Wu Gang, Duanmu Ling, and Yang Rui were co-drivers. Now he was looking forward to whether Sha Zan, Yang Hu, and Lu Kang would become the third echelon.

With three echelons, Zhou Cang feels that even after a hundred years, there will be no major changes in the system for at least 50 years.
