The First Military Division of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 574 Letter from the Mission
"That's right." Chen Ziming suddenly thought of something, and asked Liu Bei, "Where did the third brother go?"

Zhang Fei was sent out by Liu Bei for training, Chen Ziming knew about it, but he had been busy during this time, so he didn't pay attention, today was a bit quiet, suddenly remembered Zhang Fei's loud voice.

"I just received the Yide Army report yesterday, and now I have arrived in Langya County, and I am going to go to Xiapi, Xuzhou." Speaking of Zhang Fei, Liu Bei smiled, but Chen Ziming couldn't laugh after hearing it.

"Ziming, is there something wrong?" Seeing that Chen Ziming's expression was not good, Liu Bei hurriedly asked.

Chen Ziming nodded and said: "Xuzhou is the place where the three wars took place. Cao Cao and Sun Quan paid a lot of attention. If the third brother suddenly leads an army in, it may arouse the suspicion of Cao Cao and Sun Quan. Then there will be troubles again, which will not be good for our plan."

Zhang Fei's status is special, and this time he brought a legion directly, which is easy to be misunderstood. It is easy to make people think that Zhang Fei is going to open the way for Liu Bei, and Liu Bei may arrive later.It is not good for Zhang Fei to go to Xuzhou. Isn't this to stimulate Cao Cao and Sun Quan?

The most important thing is that Chen Ziming is afraid that Zhang Fei will not come back obediently when he arrives in Xiapi, but will go to Xuanwu. Get ready, starting a war now will only delay Liu Bei's unification.

"I will order Yide to come back." Liu Bei also thought of the impact of it, and thought of Zhang Fei's character, he might go to the front to train soldiers. Thinking of this, Liu Bei immediately sent messengers to order Zhang Fei to return immediately.

Liu Bei sighed and said, "The establishment of the Thunderbolt Army has been criticized by the court. They are afraid that the military will find various reasons to continue to increase troops, which violates the original intention of the large-scale disarmament."

The formation of the Thunderbolt Army has been going on for a long time, and the mobilization of personnel has been completed. The newly formed Thunderbolt Army is an independent army, that is to say, it is another army of 5 people, divided into five divisions, directly under the military headquarters.

Chen Ziming listened to Liu Bei's words, nodded slightly and said: "I didn't think carefully about this matter, but the number of Thunderbolt cars is limited, and they need to be used collectively to be of great use. It is impossible to establish them among various armies in a short time. military."

Liu Bei nodded and said, "I have suppressed this matter in the court, but we can't continue to increase the number of troops, otherwise it will affect the prestige of the court."

It was agreed that only one million troops would be left, and that no more troops would be added at random, but now, as soon as the words fell, a legion was added directly, and the investment in this legion was terrifying, even the huge military expenditure of the military department Not enough, and asking for money everywhere, of course those ministers have gossip to talk about.

Everything was settled. As for Zhang Fei, when he returned to Linzi, Chen Ziming planned to transfer him to Youzhou, where the land is sparsely populated. As long as Zhang Fei doesn't go to the grassland, he can do whatever he wants.

As for railway construction, housing renovation, mining development, etc., all of them are left to Liu Bei. The court will also establish corresponding departments, gradually improve the corresponding laws, and train professionals. Everything will take time. These things are blank, not Chen Ziming It can be done in a few words.

There will definitely be loopholes and many problems in the early stage, but this road must be blazed, and then go on. This is the only way for the development of a country. A strong empire does not just need to have a strong army. If the army is strong, there is no Strong economic support, in the end is nothing.

At this time, Chen Ziming deeply understood why war is for politics. Without a strong national strength, no matter how strong the army is, it is only a momentary prestige. This is not what Chen Ziming needs.

Early the next morning, as soon as Chen Ziming woke up, someone came from the palace, and Liu Bei rushed to call Chen Ziming.

Chen Ziming didn't dare to be negligent. Liu Bei would not send someone to recruit Chen Ziming under normal circumstances. Once he did so, it meant that something big would happen.Along the way, Chen Ziming wondered what went wrong.

Chen Ziming was most worried about Zhang Fei. He was afraid that Zhang Fei would not listen to Liu Bei's words and continue to go deep into Xuzhou, and even go to Cao Cao or Sun Quan's territory, which would stimulate Cao Cao or Sun Quan and cause them to send troops to fight.

But after arriving at Liu Bei's study, he was slightly relieved when he learned why Liu Bei urgently recruited him. As long as there is no war, everything is easy to talk about.

"The mission has passed the Guishuang Empire and entered the Parthian-Sasanian Dynasty. This is a letter sent back by the accompanying hidden guards." Liu Bei's words made Chen Ziming very excited. He really wanted to understand this era, the pattern of the world and the rest of the world. The strength, now finally got the first message.

Of the four great empires in the world in this era, the Han Empire is the strongest, followed by the huge Roman Empire. As for the Parthian-Sasanian Dynasty, Chen Ziming doesn’t know much about it. The Guishuang Empire, which is closer to the Han Dynasty, is not as powerful according to historical records. Not very strong.

"In the west of Liangzhou, Guo Huang entered the Western Regions, and the Western Regions were in chaos. They were divided into 28 countries, more than [-] miles from east to west, with mountains in the north and south, and rivers in the center. There are different countries in the Western Regions, such as city walls, or nomads."

"People in the Western Regions are weak, and they don't worry about the strength of Hu and Qiang. The closest one is the Qiang Kingdom, with 450 households, 750 population, and 570 soldiers. Then there is the Loulan Kingdom, with [-] households, [-] population, and [-] soldiers. One thousand nine hundred..."

The letter records the situation in the Western Regions in detail. The so-called country has no emperor, and no one dares to claim the title of emperor. They still belong to the Han Dynasty in name, and they are the vassals of the Han Dynasty. They are all very weak, and the number of soldiers is only [-] soldiers. Horses, the few are only three hundred soldiers and horses.

"The Mansion of the Chief History Officer of the Western Regions is located in Loulan City. The Chief History Officer Chen Ji has a high prestige among the countries in the Western Regions, but his soldiers are only a few hundred, and it is difficult to control the various ministries of the Western Regions..."

These specific information were collected by the dark department of the Western Regions and sent back together with the messenger. This letter enabled Chen Ziming to fully grasp the current situation of the Western Regions and have a comprehensive understanding of the Western Regions.

"The Western Regions have the Northern Xiongnu in the north, the Di tribe in the east, the Guishuang Empire in the west, and the Plagiarism in the south, which is not suitable for food cultivation..."

The situation in the Western Regions is not optimistic. Although the Western Regions themselves are not strong, the strength of the surrounding areas is not weak, and they all interfere in the rule of the Western Regions. The Di tribe in the east is now the Dizhou of the Han Dynasty. It is much more convenient for the Han Dynasty to send troops to the Western Regions. As long as Dizhou is built well, it won't be a problem for the Western Regions to win it whenever they want.

Sending troops from Dizhou to the Western Regions, there is no such thing as an expedition, and there is no problem with food roads. However, if you want to build Dizhou well, it cannot be completed overnight. The most important thing is the population problem. The population of Dahan is too small.

At this time, Chen Ziming was a little nostalgic for the great country of China in later generations, and he could fill the current Dizhou with just a few random population.
