Chapter 272 (1/2)
”Zijun, what happened? Why did you suddenly come to Xiangyang? ” In the study, after meeting Cai, he came to see Liu Biao.
Knowing that the trick was coming, Liu Biao dismissed his colleagues early this morning and waited for him to come back.
”You're the father. I came to see you. Do I have to do something?” The trick smiled and said.
”Your character is very clear to your father. If you have nothing to do, you won't come back specially.” Liu Biao also smiled.
”Why don't you say, 'know your son better than your father'?” He smiled, ”I'm coming back this time. I want to stay in Xiangyang for a while and get to know the heroes gathered here. Father, do you have all these people here? ”
”Yes, you told me so early. How dare you be a father!” Liu Biao said with a smile, ”the Central Plains has a profound heritage and talents like crucian carp crossing the river, which is far from being comparable to the barbarians in Jingzhou.”
”After all, it is the heart of a big man. Aristocratic families can be found everywhere. Unlike Jingzhou, whose influence is limited, how many people can stand out!” The trick said, ”but in my opinion, there are still talents in Jingzhou these years, no worse than that in the Central Plains.”
”The older generation limited it to Xiangyang South County, and the rest of the young people, it's up to you to use it.” Liu said, ”now Jingzhou Da'an, what are we going to do next?”
”Enhance strength and expand armaments.” Qiji said without hesitation, ”now the Central Plains is in chaos, and countless scholars and refugees go south to Jingzhou. Once these people are absorbed, the strength and potential of Jingzhou will be greatly improved. As long as we maintain a stable situation, more people will vote. Now the place has no constraints, and the father's authority has greatly increased. It is time to make great achievements. ”
”Jiangxia, Nanjun and Xiangyang are places where the big families who supported my father were very powerful. We should limit them to this area, otherwise once they grow again, they will pose a threat to us. After the expansion of power in the future, sending them to other places and dividing their connections will naturally break their group. ”
”There are 100000 troops in Xiangyang now. If my father wants to remain unchanged, he must ask all the officers and men to step up military training. Jingnan three counties, except the county soldiers, each maintained 10000 elite soldiers; At least 50000 troops should be stationed in the three counties of Nanyang. In the future, it will be the forefront of attacking the central plains; In Changsha County, before he left, he had ordered that his troops be expanded to 50000, or he would go out soon. ”
”It's up to my child to fight abroad, but my father has more pressure. I want to maintain the continuous prosperity of Jingzhou, the prosperity of culture and education, the prosperity of the people, and balance the relationship between the big families in Jingzhou... Only when my father does these things well can my child feel at ease.”
”You say so, being a father is very stressful!” Liu Biao took a breath of air conditioning. ”So, can Jingzhou support nearly 300000 troops?”
”As long as those big families occupy less and each family spits out some, it will be enough to feed so many troops.” The trick smiled, ”my father can rest assured of the four counties in Jingnan. It depends on how my father operates the six counties in Jingbei.”
”Besides, as long as the child's war goes smoothly, he will naturally get the money to feed the army.”
Liu Biao was speechless.
He knows the virtues of big families. He takes advantage faster than anyone, but it's difficult for them to spit out what they eat.
All the big families in Jingnan have been cleaned, and now the only big families are very cooperative; The situation in Jingbei, including Nanyang, is complicated. The aristocratic families have strong strength. Even if Liu Biao's authority increases, he can't let them give up their benefits.
”In addition, it has been several years since Dong Zhuo moved west. The imperial capital Luoyang is broken and no one cares. Why don't my father send someone to repair the palace to wait for the son of heaven to return to the East!” Another trick.
Liu Biao's eyes lit up when he heard the speech.
It may be a thankless job for Liu Biao to repair the imperial capital. His title and official position have basically come to an end, and then there is the three generals. It is impossible in the short term.
However, it is of great benefit to those who are specifically responsible for this matter. After all, the appointment and removal of management and the royal title are nominally in the hands of the emperor. Not only can it become famous, but also once the emperor returns to the East and makes contributions to the repair of the imperial capital, it can at least mix with the marquis in the pass and even the princes.
As for whether the emperor can return to the east? You don't have to think about it at all. Look at the current situation of the Xiliang army. Once you finish it, you can't stop it even if you want to stop it. Even if the current emperor can't return to the East, the next one is not. He can always wait.
It takes only ten or twenty years to get a title safely. Who doesn't want such good things.
This is a bait, a business that can make no loss. If you want to go, you have to exchange things,
Moreover, Liu Biao also saw that once he sent people to occupy Yin in Henan, the connection between Guandong and guanxi would be separated by him, so he had evidence to advance and retreat.
Of course, the risk increases accordingly.
