The First Military Division of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 346
Chapter 350: Going South

"This is...?" Sun Ce stared at the huge map. It should be said that he was staring at the large blank land south of Jiaozhou.

"General, please take a look." Chen Ziming pointed to the blank area south of Jiaozhou and said: "The south of Jiaozhou is mostly the places where the big men committed crimes, or the old South Vietnamese troops fled."

"Although there are many mountains and complex environments here, there are no powerful forces here. Most of them exist in the form of tribes, city-states, etc. All you need is a strong army, so don't take it down easily."

After Sun Ce and others heard this, they frowned and thought about it. After comparing the gains and losses, Zhou Yu said: "Mr. Ziming, although these places are easy to conquer, they are barbaric lands. They are uncivilized and do not distinguish between monarchs and ministers. How helpful?"

Although Zhou Yu is a man of great talent, he has been influenced by this era and his thoughts are stubborn. He does not have the long-term vision like Chen Ziming, and he looks down on the barbarians around the big man.

"Hahaha..." After Chen Ziming heard Zhou Yu's words, he laughed a few times, and then Sun Ce and the others asked, "General, do you know the land of the three states newly established by my big man?"

"I have heard a little bit." Sun Ce nodded. Chen Ziming's so-called three states have long been known by the Han people. Fuzhou above the sea, Jizhou and Heilongzhou established by capturing the alien territories in the north are also because of this, and Liu Bei's name is so far away. Above Cao Cao, Sun Ce and others, not only is Liu Bei the strongest, but the most important thing is that Liu Bei expanded the territory for the great Han.

"Fuzhou." Chen Ziming pointed to an island in the northeast on the map and said: "When it was captured by the Han Navy, it was just a tribe of savages with a population of only a few hundred thousand and no agricultural foundation."

"But now, Fuzhou provides Dahan with millions of silver, hundreds of thousands of gold, and countless rare minerals every year. It is the strongest pillar of Dahan."

After Chen Ziming finished speaking, he pointed to Jizhou and Heilongzhou in the north and said: "The land in these two states is fertile, and they can provide countless grains and grasses for the Han people every year. These two states alone are enough to provide the food needed by the people of the Han Dynasty. There are countless kinds of precious herbs, and black coal is everywhere. And there are millions of people, hundreds of thousands of young and strong, who can conquer the world for the great Han. And with these two states, the big Han can monitor and suppress all the grasslands, and can protect the big Han No worries in the north."

After Chen Ziming finished speaking, he looked up at the three of them and said, "But before that, there is no one in Dahan who knows the importance of these three states to Dahan. It can be said that the power of Dahan is inseparable from the role of the three states. .”

"The three of you think that barbarian land is useless?" Chen Ziming said to Sun Ce and the others flatly.The so-called Dahan refers to the Dahan regime established by Liu Bei later.

Sun Ce and Zhou Yu looked at each other, and then Zhou Yu pointed to a large blank area south of Jiaozhou, and said, "Mr. Ziming's intention is to let Jiangdong's army march south and capture this place."

"Yes." Chen Ziming nodded slightly and said, "This place can also be called the land of Nanyue. Among the mountains, there are countless fertile farmlands. The climate is pleasant, and rice can be harvested three times a year."

After hearing Chen Ziming's words, Sun Ce and the others' eyes lit up. In this day and age, no matter the common people or the princes, what they value most is the land, that is the grain, and three crops a year. This alone is very attractive.

"Besides, there are countless precious herbs and precious minerals in the mountains here. The most important thing is that there are countless people in this area. If you know about it, your strength will be greatly increased." Chen Ziming continued to seduce Sun Ce.

"But..." Sun Ce stared at the map for a long time thinking, then raised his head, his eyes full of murderous intent and said: "I still think that the fertile land of the big man is better, what do you think, Mr. Ziming."

"Indeed." Chen Ziming said seriously: "The people of the Han Dynasty are enlightened, educated, full of talents, and the land is fertile. They are far from the barbarians in the south."

"However, I would like to ask the general, the land of the great man can be occupied by the general. If the general continues to guard the land of Jiangdong, in three to five years, no matter whether it is me, the great man or Cao Cao, he can easily crush Jiangdong."

"Hmph!" Zhou Yu snorted coldly and said, "Although Uncle Liu Huang and Cao Cao are strong, Jiangdong has the danger of the Yangtze River, and there are millions of men from Jiangdong, so why not be afraid of it, let alone the land of Yizhou, who owns it. "

"Yizhou?" Chen Ziming smiled and shook his head and said, "Mr. Gongjin, do you know why my army of tens of thousands attacked Liangzhou? The land of Yizhou is in my pocket."

After hearing Chen Ziming's words, Sun Ce, Zhou Yu, and Lu Su's expressions were not good. Liu Bei's strength lies in that, if the three attack Yizhou at the same time, and at that time, neither Sun Ce nor Cao Cao will join forces, because whoever enters Master Yizhou, you can remain invincible.

Under such circumstances, Liu Bei's army is more likely to occupy most of Yizhou. Sun Ce and Cao Cao can only occupy one or two counties in Yizhou at most, and it is not the most fattening Chengdu Plain. After all, Chengdu The plain is closer to Liangzhou.

"Mr. Ziming, how can we ensure that Uncle Liu's army will not attack Jiangdong within ten years?" After hearing Chen Ziming's words, Lu Su was already inclined to give up the struggle for the Central Plains and concentrate his efforts to develop southward.

"Hehe, Mr. Zijing can rest assured." Chen Ziming sighed, and then said: "Even if Jiangdong is not involved, it will be difficult for me, a big man, to completely annihilate Cao Cao in less than five years. Before that, the big man should go down first." The land of Yizhou, calculated in this way, does not have ten years or so, and the big man has no time to take care of Jiangdong."

"Please look, general. According to the secret report I received, Qiu Liju, the leader of the Xianbei in the grassland, is ambitious. He has already unified the Wuheng and Xianbei tribes, and then launched an attack on the Huns. Within three to five years, the Xianbei will be able to dominate the grassland. By then, the grassland Xianbei, it should be my big man's confidant's trouble."

"Not enough!" Sun Ce's eyes flickered after hearing this, but he was still not completely convinced by Chen Ziming, and his heart was still in the Central Plains.

"Then, outside of Wu County, on the sea, there are ten newest warships and twenty medium-sized warships of our Han Navy. If the general intends to go south, these thirty cutting-edge warships will help the general." Chen Ziming finally released a big move, Thirty warships, they are not river boats in small river ditches like Jiangdong, but real warships operating on the sea.

Jiangdong spent countless financial and material resources, but failed to develop such a warship at sea. If Jiangdong gets such a warship, then Jiangdong will not be afraid of Liu Bei's naval threat.

"General, please take a look." Chen Ziming pointed to the map, Nanyue drew along the coastline, and said: "General, the road to the south is difficult and dangerous. When you can march from the vast and boundless sea, occupy the coast, and then slowly advance to the inland, then Nanyue It's easy to wait." Chen Ziming planned a grand strategic plan for Sun Ce, which made Sun Ce and others' eyes shine.
