The imperial examination was very timely. Zhang Yu directly put 5,000 people on the list, which was quite high compared to the ancient acceptance rate of two to three hundred people.

Zhang Yu and the others really need so many people.

The ministries cannot be enriched yet.

In the past, there were very few public officials at all levels headed by the county magistrate in a county, and the power was concentrated in the hands of the county magistrate. However, the county magistrate may be a nerd and cannot manage a county at all.

Capable county magistrates will also be stunned by all kinds of things.

On the other hand, the same is true for counties and states. Zhang Yu created several departments to decentralize power and functions. This can improve administrative efficiency and limit the power of officials.

This scientific expedition directly requires five thousand people, which is not excessive.

During Zhang Yu's absence, various affairs progressed relatively quickly.

Overseas energy sources continue to provide financial resources, and Zhang Yu has the strength to explode and fight.

During the few days I came back, the cabinet has been studying.

They dealt with daily affairs for half a day, and then spent more than half a day studying the military.

Except for Zhang Zhao and Gu Yong, several people are good at military affairs.

"Lord, fighting on the western front can pose a great threat to Cao Cao. They have provided a lot of support from the east, which consumes a lot of them. The subordinates believe that they should attack from west to east in Changshan County." Xi Zhicai suggested.

Zhang Yu also agreed that launching an attack on the Western Front was also a kind of pressure on them, but Zhang Yu could bear it.

Guo Jia said: "The lord, his subordinates suggest to attack from both sides at the same time."

"Xuzhou pretended to attack Xuchang, while Qingzhou directly attacked the first part of Yuzhou."

Everyone thought about Guo Jia's proposal.

Fighting on the two fronts has always been a taboo for military strategists.

However, if Zhang Yu and the others fought on two fronts, then Cao Cao would also fight on two fronts.

Zhang Yu thought for a while, and then said: "Yes, just start the battle on each side and disperse the forces of Cao Cao's side."

After the arrangement, Zhang Yu's generals have to be reconfigured.

Ling Cao and Zhao Yun were both transferred to the north.

Gao Shun continued to sit in Xuzhou, under firm control to ensure the safety of Xuzhou.

Xuzhou is a weakness of Zhang Yu, and it has developed at the same time. There are many people and wealth here, and they can support Zhang Yu.

Zhang Yu began to mobilize troops and horses. His infantry has been trained for several months and can be used. Although the combat effectiveness is not enough, they will not be used at the beginning of the war.

These recruits will deploy part of the veterans, and they can continue to train on the battlefield.

Zhang Yu began to mobilize troops and horses, mobilizing food and grass, and Cao Cao had already detected this situation.

Cao Cao summoned his men and said, "Hey, Zhang Yu sees our weaknesses, and is about to attack us on the Western Front."

Only one of Tai Shi Ci's soldiers and horses has contained 200,000 soldiers and horses in Yecheng.

Cao Cao's ability to move is limited, and at this time he is not suitable for large-scale recruitment of troops.

Liu Bei in Xiangyang also learned of this.

At this time Pang Tong has formally put into effect Liu Bei.

Liu Bei summoned his staff and said: "Now that we have stabilized Xiangyang, Cai Hao has retreated. It is time for vigorous development. What suggestions do you have?"

Liu Bei was energetic, repelled Cai Tao, stabilized Xiangyang, and his position had been stabilized.

Everyone is also delighted, and can finally show their talents.

However, the discussion was heated, but Pang Tong remained silent.

Liu Bei asked curiously: "Sir, do you have any ideas?"

Pang Tong said: "The lord, who is trapped in the lone city of Xiangyang, and is controlled by the family here, we have to develop a lot of difficulties, not to mention that it is not better than Cai Hao, who has a vast area, and we have no advantage over other princes.

Liu Bei said humbly, "What's the opinion of the gentleman? Please also ask me."

Pang Tong said bluntly: "Liu Biao has a high reputation in Jingzhou. We have taken his place. The people don't see much support for us. In addition, the families also control most of the power. We are controlled by them. This is very dangerous."

"Besides, there will be no room for development in the surrounding areas unless we go out. The top priority now is to leave Xiangyang, go to other places, get rid of the influence of the family, and then find a space for survival and development for ourselves."

Naturally, Liu Bei didn't want to be controlled by these aristocratic families, but he started his career by relying on these aristocratic families, and these aristocratic families also controlled a lot of power, how could they not be affected.

Liu Bei once again asked Pang Tong for advice, and Pang Tong said: "We attacked Shuchuan, relying on the area of ​​Shuchuan, it is enough for our development."

When attacking Shuchuan, Liu Bei hesitated.

Shuchuan is a good place, but it is so easy to hit it.

Liu Bei said hesitantly: "Although we have 300,000 troops, only 100,000 can be mobilized, and no family will agree to us to attack Shuchuan. It is too risky."

Pang Tong said: "It's an adventure. It can be said that if we fail to succeed, we will return to zero. We will also face great danger, but if we don't fight out, this Xiangyang will still be unable to defend."

Pang Tong analyzed and said: "Cai Hao will not allow us to occupy this place for a long time. His wealth and soldiers are enough to attack me in Xiangyang. If Sun Ce is not in charge, Cai Hao should still be attacking me at this time."

Pang Tong's analysis made Liu Bei also understand that to be trapped in Xiangyang will be a death sooner or later.

"Okay, then we are attacking Shuchuan, but how do we convince these aristocratic families?" Liu Bei said.

This matter is really not something that Liu Beineng decided in a word, and the family's consent must be obtained, otherwise it will be difficult for them to make a trip, at least they will be cut off.

Pang Tong said: "This is our long-term plan. We start preparing now, and we can't make it so early. When these families see that they are trapped in Xiangyang, sooner or later, they will die. We will definitely agree. We only have to promise enough benefits."

What do these families want?

What is important is survival. If Xiangyang is breached, they will have no room for survival, so it is not difficult to convince them.

The princes of the entire China began a new round of preparations.

Zhang Yu mobilized troops, horses, and grains there~www.readwn.com~, especially on the west and east lines, the cities had already stored a lot of grain and grass, and there was no need for a lot of mobilization.

This situation caused some differences in Cao Cao's judgment.

There was no major mobilization on the eastern front, so Cao Cao could not judge whether Zhang Yu would attack on the eastern front.

On the western front, Zhang Yu had no foundation and needed to transfer a lot of food and grass.

Zhang Yu not only used the amount of grain and grass used for military purposes, but also established a few reserve points there, because Zhang Yu considered that he would match the Roman Empire in the future.

This further increased Cao Cao's misjudgment.

Cao Cao believed that Zhang Yu would launch a very big war on the Western Front.

In fact, Zhang Yu is not like that. He wants east and west to fight on two fronts.

Cao Cao would naturally also be prepared on the Eastern Front, but he was less prepared. Please use the latest domain name to read books on this site
