The most powerful general in the Three Kingdoms

Neither Liu Biao nor Yuan Shu really wanted to fight Zhou Cheng to the end.

The wealthy families under the rule of Liu Biao and Yuan Shu also wanted to take sides.

Therefore, it is important to preserve strength.

And if Zhou Cheng shows strong aggression, it will make the aristocratic and wealthy families under the rule of Liu Biao and Yuan Shu feel a sense of crisis.

As a result, this war going south will not end in a short time.

Zhou Cheng still had the north to manage.

At present, only Jizhou has relatively perfect management.

The people of Qingzhou are attached, but they have not yet reached the level of food and clothing. If there is another famine, forced by hunger and cold, and taken advantage of by local wealthy families and clan thieves, Qingzhou will also be in chaos.

Under Du Ji's governance, the current situation in Youzhou is pretty good, but we cannot relax.

The clan thieves, Liu He, Yan Rou, Xian Yufu, Xianbei, Wuhuan... are all remaining problems.

As for Bingzhou, Zhang Yan and the Heishan Army are currently working on their own affairs, and both government and military affairs are in a mess.

In addition, there are still remnants of the Xiongnu, and occasionallyLooting is also a disaster.

The Liangzhou Qiang people, the Di people, and the aristocratic families who had been deprived of their interests were also looking for opportunities.

Although Zhang Ji is talented, it is not easy to temporarily stabilize Liangzhou.

Especially when Zhou Cheng led his army southward, people in Liangzhou were in a state of confusion.

Yuan Tan, Yuan Xi and others in Yongzhou are honest and peaceful, and there is currently no sign of rebellion.

However, we cannot relax.

There are many wealthy families in Yongzhou, so the supervision of Yongzhou cannot be relaxed.

If Yanzhou and Xuzhou are occupied again, there will be more problems and the pressure of governance will be greater.

It is easy to conquer the world, but difficult to govern the world.

Li Zicheng conquered the world, but he couldn't sit still. The reason is not unreasonable.

Zhou Cheng read many books under the guidance of Tian Chou, Jia Xu and others.

Zhou Cheng had contact with Qin's legal and military theories, as well as the thoughts of Confucianism and Taoism.

What had a profound influence on Zhou Cheng should be the strategist's thinking of uniting vertical and horizontal lines.

So far, Zhou Cheng has used the strategies of military strategists and Legalists to manage the army, used the thinking of political strategists to alienate the princes, used Confucian and Taoist ideas to restore production, and slowly influenced the people under his rule to make them loyal.

……

March 201 AD.

It is already spring plowing season.

Zhou Cheng, Yuan Shu, and Liu Biao are still in a confrontation.

After the war, there will be years of famine. Because of this confrontation, Yanzhou will not be able to do spring plowing.

Regardless of the outcome after the war, Yanzhou is destined to lose everything this year.

Noble families and wealthy families would not voluntarily provide food. If Zhou Cheng wanted to govern Yanzhou, he would need to transfer food to Yanzhou.

Otherwise, the people of Yanzhou will be displaced, and the displaced people will become mobs and even bandits.

Of course, the confrontation in Yanzhou was also a big drain on Liu Biao and Yuan Shu.

A hundred thousand troops cost thousands of gold every day.

The daily consumption of money and food was testing the financial resources and reserves of Zhou Cheng, Yuan Shu, and Liu Biao.

Zhou Cheng has the grain depot in Liaocheng as his foundation, and he can afford it now.

However, Zhou Cheng stood still, neither attacking the city nor retreating, which puzzled both Yuan Shu and Liu Biao.

……

"What's Thief Zhou's plan? Why didn't you attack the city for so long?"

Cai Mao really didn't understand. Admittedly, they also wanted to spend money, but they didn't do nothing, just confrontation!

Liu Bei looked at Chen Gong, but Chen Gong shook his head at Liu Bei.

Liu Bei wanted Chen Gong to stand up and show off. But Chen Gong wanted to keep a low profile.

Liu Bei had no choice but to keep silent.

Cai Hao hesitated for a long time and finally took out the brocade bag.

There were three words"A, B, and C" on the brocade bag.

They corresponded to the order.

Cai Hao took out the brocade bag with the word A first. When he was about to open the bag, he hesitated and stopped.

He had always been curious about the contents of the bag.

Maybe after opening it, he could solve the current doubts.

After all, including him, the staff brought by Cai Mao No one in the regiment could see through Zhou Cheng's intentions.

As a general in charge of the army, if he could see through Zhou Cheng's intentions, he would have the upper hand.

Liu Bei also noticed the tips in Cai Mao's hand.

These three tips , it was not just the first time Liu Bei saw it.

At this time, after seeing the brocade bag, Liu Bei couldn't help but be curious and asked:"What is in the general's hand?" Cai

Mao saw that Liu Bei wanted to show off when he asked, so he said,"This is a plan to retreat from the enemy.""

"oh? Liu Bei's curiosity was completely aroused, and he hurriedly asked:"Since we have a plan to retreat from the enemy, why not use it early?" Cai

Mao laughed lightly and said,"I don't know Xuande, but this plan cannot be used unless it is a desperate situation.""

Chen Gong originally wanted to keep a low profile, but now he was both curious and dissatisfied.

However, before Chen Gong could ask, Liu Bei asked in advance:"But what is Pang Degong and Mr. Shui Jing's plan?"

Pang Degong and Mr. Shui Jing are celebrities in Jingxiang, celebrities among celebrities.

Of course, Wen Wu is the first, and Wu Wu is the second.

Although he admires them, Chen Gong has never really contacted them, and he doesn't know if they are really like each other. Talent.

Cai Mao shook his head and said,"Xuande, do you know Wolong and Fengchu?"

Liu Bei shook his head and said:"I have little knowledge and I really don't know."

"Hahaha. Cai Mao said:"Pang Degong once said that Wolong and Fengxiao are both men of the king. If you win one, you can win the world.""
