Just when Cheng Yu and Man Chong were patrolling the world, conducting an inventory of the officialdom of the Han Dynasty, and assessing the performance of officials, they headed southwest of the Han Dynasty.

That is, the countries in the Mekong River Basin and the vicinity of the Shan Kingdom.

With the respective development and construction of Jiangdong Army and Yizhou Army, they transformed the land in the southwest.

As time passed, the two sides gradually opened up the mountain barrier between Shan and Siam, and then the two armies reunited.

This meeting made the generals of Jiangdong Army and Yizhou Army sigh.

Especially Zhuge Liang and other advisers, after meeting Zhou Yu and Lu Su, they felt like meeting an old acquaintance in a foreign land and feeling like they had hated each other for a long time.

Zhuge Liang looked at Zhou Yu, and Zhou Yu was also looking at each other. Even though the two sides had not communicated, they were dealing with each other's military affairs.

And the details that Lu Xun told Zhou Yu about Zhuge Liang made them very familiar with each other before they even met.

The most important thing is that Zhou Yu"617" and Zhuge Liang are both people who are proficient in music, which makes them very interesting and have a common language.

The two of them talked happily when they first met, which surprised the other advisers and generals around them.

Lu Xun smiled and explained to the side that he and Zhuge Liang were both Jinshi in the same class, and they were among the top three genius students.

Later, they studied at Beijing Normal University, and they were very familiar with each other. They were classmates and good friends, and they had a common language.

The words these three people exchanged made the Jiangdong Army and Yizhou Army gradually become familiar with each other, and no one was left out in the cold.

The generals of the Yizhou Army and the Jingzhou Army are also discussing military strategic formations.

In fact, they have cooperated and been hostile to each other.

For example, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei were originally subordinate to Liu Bei.

Although in this life, because of Liu Chen's birth, there was no such deep hatred as the loss of Jingzhou or the Battle of Yiling.

But at first they were hostile and competitive with each other, so naturally there were conflicts.

But now, all grudges are forgotten with a smile!

Because no matter what happened in the past, they now serve the Han Emperor and the Han Dynasty.

What's more, both armies are in the Southwest Military Region, one is the Jiangdong Army and the other is the Yizhou Army (Jingzhou Army). They must move westward next.

At that time, the two armies will need to cooperate with each other and compete with each other.

Because their enemies are foreigners, other barbarians from Guo Jia!

This kind of lively chat lasted for two days, and they finally returned to the topic, which was to discuss the future westward expansion plan.

"This time His Majesty sent Cheng Yu and Man Chong to patrol the world, they must be preparing for a global conquest!"

Zhou Yu looked around,"Now our Jiangdong Army's management of the Mekong River Basin has barely been able to achieve self-sufficiency in supply.

I wonder how your development is going in Shan country? Need help?"

Zhuge Liang said with a smile;"The Shan country is divided into north and south, with huge mountains and rivers running across the middle, and dense tropical rain forests.

It is difficult to be self-sufficient in food cultivation, and we need assistance from Yizhou. However, I observed that where the Shendu Kingdom and the Shan Kingdom are connected, there is a huge plain.

According to the records on the world map, there is a fertile Ganges Plain here. If we capture this place, we will have no worries about food and grass!

Lu Su asked doubtfully:"Are you growing sweet potatoes in Shan country?" Is arable land scarce?"

"not at all! Zhuge Liang chuckled and said:"

When we don't have complete control over the vicinity of Shan Kingdom, we can choose to hide artifacts such as sweet potatoes and potatoes in Yizhou. If they are leaked, it will be considered as an advantage to the enemy!""

Everyone laughed when they heard this.

Sun Ce said:"Prefect Zhuge, even if it is leaked, with the strength of my Han Dynasty's powerful army, we can sweep away the foreign barbarians, so don't worry too much!"

The generals of the Jiangdong Army nodded.

However, the officers and soldiers of the Yizhou Army and Jingzhou Army very much agreed with Zhuge Liang's concerns. Of course, this was mainly due to their belief in Zhuge Liang.

"Liang has no choice but to guard against such major events related to the destiny of the country!"Zhuge Liang didn't care that others thought he was making a fuss out of a molehill or that his worries were unfounded.

Zhou Yu thought for a while, looked at each other with Lu Su and other advisers, and then said:

"In this case, you and I should join hands and share weal and woe. We, the Jiangdong Army, are planting crops in Siam and Funan, and we have a good harvest of food, which can support our colleagues in the Yizhou Army."

"Thank you so much! Zhuge Liang smiled and said,"It is said that the governor has the world in mind, but now that I see him, he is indeed worthy of his reputation!""

"Why do I feel like you guys are just here to cheat me out of food?" Zhou Yu said jokingly.

Zhuge Liang didn't hide it, and said with a smile:"To be honest, Yizhou has high mountains and deep valleys, making development and construction inconvenient. Now the project is underway.

Moreover, when the frontline soldiers set off to fight in the Shan country, they were barely able to support themselves in terms of food, grass and military supplies!

It's hard for a clever woman to make a meal without rice, otherwise Liang wouldn't have spoken to the governor!"(To read Baoshuang novels, go to Feilu Novel Network!)

After hearing what Zhuge Liang said, everyone in the Jiangdong Army was a little shocked!

The yield of sweet potatoes was so terrifying that they couldn't believe it.....What's more, in the southwest, the land is fertile and the weather is suitable.

In such a boundary, Yizhou is still in a state of"barely supporting"?

How much investment has been made in Yizhou’s current development and construction?

They asked out of curiosity, and Zhuge Liang and other Yizhou army advisers and generals did not hide anything and told them their plans.

"In addition to our investment in the development and construction of Yizhou, cement roads and canals, we have also paved cement roads or bluestone slabs in the Guanzhong area, Chang'an direction, and the four channels entering Yizhou.

It originally took two or three months to enter Yizhou from this direction, but now it has been shortened to less than one month. If you travel a long distance, it will take more than half a month."

Zhuge Liang said confidently.

The Jiangdong Army was shocked!

That's the Shu Road!

The Shu Road is as difficult as climbing to the sky. This is no joke!

When the Liangzhou Army led an army to attack Yizhou, the Han Army had the ability bonus. It took a year and a half to finally pass through the Shu Road and enter Hanzhong.

I never thought that today's Yizhou would spend huge sums of money to build a passage across the Shu Road!

——There is the Qinling Mountains that runs from east to west!

Zhou Yu asked in confusion:"Kong Ming, why did you do this?"

Zhuge Liang pointed to the terrain map and analyzed:"If we want to advance westward in the future, there are two ways. One way is the Liangzhou Army attacking from the Western Region.

Now Governor Jia Xu and the others It is already adjacent to the Kushan Empire, and it is only a matter of time before the two armies fight.

But the deserts in the Western Region are full of deserts, and there are some problems with the supply of food and grass. Although there are steam engine trains now 3.4, it is extremely difficult to rescue.

The other way is to our southwest, either Attack across the ocean by water. Or attack the Shendu Kingdom by land, and then advance steadily.

After the Shendu Kingdom, there will be the Kushan Empire!

This battle will be protracted, and in the future countless grain and grass baggage will need to be transported from the country to the front.

Now we have opened up In the north and south of Yizhou, the march in the future can be shortened by several months."

Listening to Zhuge Liang's analysis, Jiangdong Army was somewhat impressed and shocked!

If you want to open the road to Shu, it will definitely take a long time. Zhuge Liang had already taken action, and now it is almost completed. This precautionary plan and long-term layout are amazing!

Zhou Yu secretly sighed!

I once again have high regard for Zhuge Liang, the all-rounder!

"Kong Ming, please rest assured that Yizhou Jiangdong belongs to the Han army, and we should join hands to advance and retreat together. Regarding Yizhou’s grain and grass, our Jiangdong army will do our best to help."

"Thank you so much Governor!".
