The First Military Division of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 92 Planning for Xuzhou
After everyone finished reporting, Chen Ziming, who hadn't spoken all the time, stood up and walked to the huge map. Seeing Chen Ziming's movements, everyone was shocked, and it was time to start!

"Now Qingzhou has strong soldiers and horses, and sufficient food and grass. It is time to save the people of the world from the fire and water!"

Rescuing the people of the world from the fire and water is the goal that Chen Ziming gave Liu Bei at the beginning, and it is also this goal, which made Liu Bei give up many pedantic ideas and work hard for this goal.

"make!"

"Before March of the next year, all localities must complete the initial cultivation. Starting in March, militias will be mobilized from various places to form an army of 15. All of them will be assembled in the Linzi camp, and the military orders will be followed."

"The initial strategic goal for next year, Xuzhou, this fertile place where four wars have been fought, Tao Qian is incompetent, the lord should replace him, benefit the people of the whole continent, gather the army, and wait for the right time!"

Chen Ziming didn't say what the weather was, but everyone knew that since Chen Ziming said so, he must be sure to get the chance to capture Xuzhou in a legitimate way.

Then, Chen Ziming began to arrange the strategy of Xuzhou, increasing the troops of Le'an, Jinan and Xi'an to prevent the possible attacks of Yuan Shao in Jizhou and Cao Cao in Yanzhou.

Then let Gan Ning's navy continue to expand its army. All the young and strong in the coastal areas will be given priority to the navy. Next year, the Xuzhou battlefield will have nothing to do with the navy. The task is given to them.

Just after the New Year's Eve, Chen Ziming was paying New Year's greetings to his future father-in-law at Cai Yong's place. Of course, drinking and bragging with this old man was unavoidable. With Chen Ziming's ability, it's no problem to make an old man happy.

At the end of the banquet, Chen Ziming was going to make out with Cai Yan alone, but Liu Bei made an urgent move. Chen Ziming had a premonition that something serious must happen.

When Chen Ziming came to Liu Bei's place and knew the so-called major event, the first thing he did was to ask Liu Bei to immediately send an envoy with enough tribute to Chang'an to present the emperor, and all the ministers in the court had gifts to send.

Under the leadership of Sun Qian, the long convoy headed straight for Chang'an. The gold, silver and supplies in the car made many people envious. Unfortunately, in today's world, there are too few people who dare to fight Liu Bei's things, even if it is Cao Cao. Weigh and weigh your abilities.

That's right, the major event that happened was that Dong Zhuo died and was killed by his cheap son Lu Bu. Dong Zhuo could have lived for more than four months, but because Lu Bu's [-] troops were defeated, less than half of them came back, so Dong Zhuo scolded him. It's a waste, and often flirts with Lu Bu, making Lu Bu very ugly.

On the day of the New Year, under the plan of Situ Wangyun, he was stabbed to death by Lu Bu at the banquet. Dong Zhuo's family was wiped out, and the whole Chang'an was celebrating.

Now that the emperor regained control of the court, Lu Bu and others obeyed the emperor's order. This was the first time that the emperor Liu Xie felt the majesty of the emperor.And the prestige of Wang Yun and Lu Bu, the heroes, was even more incomparable for a while, and everyone knew it.

Chen Ziming knew that Liu Xie, the son of heaven, was just gaining momentum for a while, and what awaited him would be a darker life. Li Jue and Guo Si were not good people, and there were no advisers like Li Ru around them to plan for them. Dump the emperor's account.

All Chen Ziming wanted to send someone to pay tribute to the emperor immediately, just to let everyone in the world know that Liu Bei still had the emperor in his heart.

Of course, this is just a superficial thing. What Chen Ziming really wanted was the emperor's reward for Liu Bei, that is, to promote Liu Bei. Chen Ziming absolutely believed that Liu Bei's position as a post-general was too low for his status as an emperor's uncle.

Sure enough, when the Son of Heaven took power for the first time, Liu Bei, the prince of the world, came to congratulate him first, and brought so many tributes, which made him very satisfied.

Immediately, the world heard how Liu Bei was loyal to the great man, and he was the pillar of the great man. Under the good words of the officials, the emperor waved his pen and worshiped the emperor's uncle Liu Bei as the general of the hussars, the second rank of the official residence.

If it weren't for Lu Bu, the hero who rescued him, who was very unhappy with Liu Bei's defeat in Liu Bei's hands last year, and acted as a hindrance, Liu Bei would have been directly named a first-rank official.

After Chen Ziming got what he wanted, he began to plan the next step, which is the strategic goal for this year, Xuzhou!
Because Chen Ziming received an urgent report from the secret guard, Cao Chong, who lives in seclusion in Langya, Xuzhou, is also Cao Cao's father. Seeing that Cao Cao is now in command of a continent, with strong troops and horses, he is ready to pack his bags and go to Cao Cao's place to enjoy the blessings.

Why Cao Chongwei went to Cao Cao's place in Yanzhou a few years in advance, because Chen Ziming sent secret guards around Cao Chong's residence, and many people close to him rumored how great Cao Cao is now, and all the princes in the world should give three points of courtesy, how rich Cao Cao is now , surrounded by groups of wives and concubines, beautiful women like clouds and so on.

Cao Chong was originally a greedy person. He was greedy for many years as an official, and he gathered a huge fortune for the Cao family. It was only after Cao Cao's rebellion that he developed so fast.

As soon as Cao Chong heard that his son was so good, and that several close people wanted him to go to Cao Cao to enjoy the blessings, when the spring began and the weather was warmer, Cao Chong prepared his family to vote for Cao Cao.

Just like in history, Xuzhou Tao Qian knew that Cao Cao's father, Cao Chong, was going to defect to Cao Cao, so he hurriedly sent his captain, Zhang Kai, to lead troops and horses to escort him. This is Cao Cao's father. Military strength is no match for Cao Cao.

It's a pity that Captain Zhang Kai is a greedy person. Seeing that Cao Chong has hundreds of horses and carriages, and the servants who follow him are just a few people, they are greedy, whoever you are, just kill people and steal goods, and run away.

Cao Chong and his youngest son Cao De, who were going to enjoy Qingfu, were all killed, and none of the accompanying wives, concubines and domestic slaves were spared. After hearing this, Tao Qian in Xuzhou fainted from fright, knowing that disaster was imminent.

Chen Ziming learned that Cao Chong was killed by Zhang Kai earlier than Cao Cao, and immediately asked the secret guard to send a letter to Mi Zhu in Xuzhou, asking him to act according to plan.

At the same time, the more than [-] troops who had gathered in the Linzi camp began to move towards Pingyuan County, and the focus of the dark guard's work began to tilt towards Xuzhou.

When the Qingzhou army began to mobilize, he learned that his father Cao Chong and his younger brother Cao De had been killed. Cao Cao was furious, assembled an army of 20, and drove to Xuzhou, and said that Xuzhou would be slaughtered for his father.

"Ziming, Cao Mengde will attack Xuzhou with his army?"

After listening to Chen Ziming's analysis, Liu Bei was very moved. If he followed Chen Ziming's plan, Liu Bei would be able to accept Xuzhou justifiably. Xuzhou is not comparable to Qingzhou, both in terms of population and wealth.

"The Great Han ruled the world with filial piety. At this time, Cao Cao's army is justified. Cao Cao has been plotting Xuzhou for a long time, and he will definitely go out with all his strength. Meanwhile, Yuan Shao of Jizhou and Gongsun Zan of Youzhou have begun to mobilize troops to prepare for a new round of war. Qingzhou should have no worries. " Chen Ziming said very confidently.
