The First Military Division of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 540
Three points in the world, although as early as Chen Ziming's expectation, after all, since the beginning, Chen Ziming's strategic thinking is to put the easy first and then the difficult. If he didn't kill Cao Cao and Sun Quan at the beginning, it would definitely form the current situation in the end.

It's all right now, the miscellaneous fish are all cleaned up, and the three-legged confrontation has been established, but Chen Ziming is not worried about forming a long-term tug-of-war. Compared with the three kingdoms in history, the current three-legged situation is no longer stable.

Liu Bei's family is the only one, and it is not generally powerful. Even if Cao Cao and Sun Quan join forces, they are not Liu Bei's opponents.

This is all-round suppression, military, political and people's livelihood, crushing Cao Cao and Sun Quan in any aspect.

And Liu Bei's pace of unifying the world has already begun. From the moment the military reform is completed, no one can stop Liu Bei from unifying the big man.

"Twenty legions, distributed all over the Han Dynasty."

In Liu Bei's study, Liu Bei convened a group of advisers and began to plan the layout. As Liu Bei's first secretary, Chen Gong was in charge of presiding over the meeting.

"The Twelve States of the Han Dynasty, depending on the situation, the guarding troops are also different."

"Among them, Fuzhou, Jizhou, and Heilongzhou are guarded by the Xu Sheng Legion..."

Chen Gong explained the distribution of soldiers and horses of the Han Dynasty one by one. Now the Han Dynasty has added two states, namely Yizhou and Dizhou.

Dizhou, that is, the original territory of the Di tribe, after being included in the Han Dynasty, Liu Bei directly named it Dizhou to show respect for the Di tribe.

However, the land area of ​​the Di tribe is yet to be determined, because it is too large. If the current territory of the Di tribe is limited, the Di tribe will be the largest state in the Han Dynasty, wider than both Yangzhou and Yizhou.

Although the land of the Di people is barren and the land is sparsely populated, it cannot be compared with big states like Yizhou and Yangzhou, but no one can say what will happen in the future, so Chen Ziming proposed that the boundary war in Dizhou should not be planned. Wait for the future as the case may be.

Then there is Yizhou. According to Chen Ziming's opinion, Liu Bei is going to name the northern part of Yizhou now occupied by Yizhou, and the southern part of Yizhou occupied by Cao Cao will be divided. It is divided into two. In the future, when Liu Bei conquers the southern part of Yizhou, it will not be assigned to Yizhou, but will be re-established as a state.

Look at the states controlled by the big man now, Qingzhou, Jizhou, Xuzhou, Youzhou, Bingzhou, Liangzhou, Yizhou, Dizhou, Jizhou, Heilongzhou, Fuzhou, Yizhou, a total of twelve states.

If calculated in terms of land area, Liu Bei now controls only a lot more land than the original big man, which shows how terrifying Liu Bei's external expansion is.

Jizhou, Heilongzhou, Fuzhou, Yizhou, and Dizhou, it can be said that nearly half of Liu Bei's territory came from external expansion.

Of course, in terms of richness, population, and cultivated land, these states combined are not as good as Xuzhou. Except for the vast territory and hidden mineral resources, other gains are not great. One of the reasons for the expansion.

It takes time, effort, and money, but you can't get the corresponding gains. Instead, you have to invest more resources to build these barren places. You can see how much Liu Bei invested in Fuzhou and other places.

Many people in the court now oppose the inclusion of the Di clan into the Han Dynasty and the establishment of Dizhou. This is the case. Dizhou has nothing to attract them. Instead, they have to invest countless money to build Dizhou. Of course they are not willing.

But these are not their final decisions, because Chen Ziming persuaded Liu Bei, Liu Bei nodded, the army marched in, the Ministry of Finance allocated funds, and the objection was invalid.

In addition to the newly built Dizhou and Yizhou, there is also a northern land, which is the original territory of the Qiang people. The Qiang people moved inward, and the northern land is uninhabited. Outside the front line of the alien race, it is worthless at all.

"Fuzhou, Jizhou, and Heilongzhou are far away from the central area of ​​the Great Han Dynasty. When there is no war, the power of the foreign races in the grassland has dropped drastically, and they are still in civil strife. They cannot threaten these three states. Xu Sheng, an army, will guard Zuye."

"Youzhou, Beidi, and Liangzhou are places to defend the grasslands against aliens. We must not relax, but we don't need many soldiers and horses. Zhang Ji's army is sufficient."

It is completely enough for Zhang Ji's army to divide the troops to guard the three places. At the same time, it is also suitable for the decentralization of Zhang Ji's ancient princes. One army is distributed in three places, and Zhang Ji can run errands if he has nothing to do. economic participation.

"Dizhou is sparsely populated and has no foreign enemies. It is temporarily guarded by the Gaoshun Army. If there is a war, a part of the Gaoshun Army can be transferred to Yizhou to participate in the battle."

Sending Gao Shun to guard Dizhou was the result of long-term discussions between Liu Bei and Chen Ziming. Gao Shun was considered an old man in Liu Bei's group, and there was no problem with his loyalty, and he was enough to guard a state regardless of his ability or prestige.

The outer line of defense has been established, and there are twenty legions, but the three legions are arranged to guard, and the layout below is the key point.

"The Huangzhong army guards Yizhou, the Quyi army guards Hanzhong, the Zhao Yun army, Zhangxiu army, and Yan Yan army jointly guard Liangzhou, the Taishici army and Pound army guard Bingzhou, and the Zhangliao army, Zangba army, and Ma Chao army guard Jizhou. , Pan Zhang's army guarded Mount Tai, Zhang He, Xu Huang, Gao Lan, and four armies guarded Xuzhou, and Dianwei's and Chen Dao's army guarded Qingzhou."

"Yizhou is guarded by the navy, and [-] naval officers and soldiers are deployed in Yizhou to ensure the stability of Yizhou."

The whole layout is like this. There is no doubt that the navy guards Yizhou. Although there are no enemies above the sea, Sun Quan is still there.

As for other layouts, it can be seen from the arrangement of soldiers and generals that this is a sign of the Liu Bei Group's attack across the board.

Once the war starts, the Liu Bei Group will divide its troops into four groups to attack Cao Cao at the same time. Huang Zhong from Yizhou and Gao Shun from Dizhou will join forces to attack the northern part of Yizhou.

Quyi from Hanzhong, Zhao Yun, Zhang Xiu, and Yan Yan from Liangzhou joined forces to attack Tongguan, Chang'an, Xianyang and other places. Tai Shici and Pang De from Bingzhou joined forces to attack Hangu Pass. One of the soldiers attacked Cao Cao's hometown Yanzhou, and the Panzhang Army in Taishan County depended on the situation, or incorporated into the Jizhou Zhangliao Army, or incorporated into the Xuzhou Zhanghe Army.

As for Xuzhou, the real place of the Fourth World War, it is connected to Yuzhou in the east, Yangzhou in the south, and Yanzhou in the north, so it has the most soldiers and horses.And once the war started, according to Chen Ziming's arrangement, all soldiers and horses in Xuzhou were aimed at Jiangdong, and Jiangdong soldiers and horses were fully restrained so that Liu Bei could concentrate on dealing with Cao Cao, the great enemy.

As for the Dianwei Army and Chen Dao Army in Qingzhou, they will join Liu Bei to go out together at that time. As for the direction, it has not yet been decided, but either Jizhou or Bingzhou, both fronts are the main force to attack Cao Cao.
