Three Kingdoms: Hegemony System

After summoning the military generals of Wenchen, Liu Jue should prepare to deal with Cao Cao.

In addition to the strength of the army, the most important thing in a war is money and food, if the soldiers have no food, it is easy to break the morale of the army, and at the same time, the combat effectiveness will also decline.

There is an important reason why the population of Jiangnan is not as good as that of the north, that is, because rice is grown in the south, and the rice yield of the Three Kingdoms in the late Han Dynasty is not high, and it is not as good as the grain in the north.

Therefore, if you want to increase the population, you have to make a very productive crop.

So Liu Jue exchanged his long-cherished corn seeds in the system store, which is not cheap, and it cost 150,000 merit points, after all, it is a treasure that can solve the problem of eating.

In addition to corn seeds, Liu Jue also exchanged for the Ming Dynasty's treasure ship construction map, spending 100,000 merit points.

Liu Jue planned to build a shipyard outside the city of Panyu, and as soon as Sun Quan's shipwrights arrived, he immediately began to build sea ships, and let Bu Qi be in charge of overseeing the matter.

According to historical records, the largest treasure ship of the Ming Dynasty was 44 zhang long and 18 zhang wide, that is, 168 meters long and 60 meters wide, of course, this is the largest kind.

Liu Jue is not going to sea for a long voyage, there is no need to be so big, just build a more than 100 meters, and when he defeats Cao Cao, it is estimated that the treasure ship will be almost built, and when the time comes, the land and sea sides will attack, and Jiangdong is estimated to be about the same.

In addition, Liu Jue also thought of a lot of ideas in his mind, which did not cost merit points, and just wrote them down first.

In addition to these, what Liu Jue needs to consider is Jingzhou's soldiers and horses.

The soldiers and horses left by Liu Biao, not counting the four counties of Jingnan, have a total of more than 80,000, and Cai Mao directly controls 30,000, including 20,000 sailors.

Liu Jue went to inspect these Jingzhou soldiers and horses, except for the soldiers under Wen Ping, the others were really indescribable, just like when he first arrived in Jiangxia.

These soldiers and horses must be strictly trained and the unqualified ones must be eliminated, otherwise the combat effectiveness is really worrying.

As for these soldiers and horses in Cai Mao's hands, after Liu Jue thought about it carefully, he still let him continue to control it, which was a step in his plan to deal with Cao Cao.

In history, Cao Cao's defeat of Chibi was not only good at water, but also because he was arrogant and underestimated the enemy.

Because at that time, Cai Mao and Kuai Yue all surrendered, and all the soldiers and horses in Jingzhou were obtained, and Liu Bei was chased by him for hundreds of miles, and even his wife and son were lost.

So Cao Cao felt that he was invincible in the world, and it was a matter of course to cross the Yangtze River and dominate the world, but he was burned by Zhou Yu and overturned in the gutter.

Liu Jue felt that he should take advantage of Cao Cao's mentality, and he would definitely burn harder than Zhou Yu when the time came.

Now Liu Jue's initial idea is to wait for Cao Cao's troops to come to Xiangyang, pretend to resist for a while, and then retreat to the south of the Yangtze River.

Cai Mao and Kuai Yue didn't care about these people, Liu Jue still wished that they would surrender, so that he could give these 30,000 soldiers and horses to Cao Cao and promote Cao Cao's arrogant mentality.

As long as he can use fire to defeat Cao Cao as in history, or even burn harder than in history, it will be easy to recapture Xiangyang by himself.

A master always has to let the opponent take a step first, a momentary retreat is nothing, the key is to be able to have the last laugh.

The city of Xiangyang is tall, if it is defended, Liu Jue is confident that he can keep Cao Cao out, and then force Cao Cao to retreat, but this is not what he wants, he hopes to make Cao Cao's losses even greater.

In addition to the soldiers and horses in Cai Mao's hands, the remaining 50,000 troops naturally fell into the hands of Liu Jue, and now the soldiers and horses in Liu Jue's hands have exceeded 100,000 troops.

I don't dare to say that it is comparable to Cao Cao, but it has surpassed Jiangdong, and in the eyes of many people, it is already a first-class force in the world, and there are not a few talents who want to come and defect.

Waiting until the next day, Zhang Juzheng, Bao Zheng, Fang Xuanling, and Yang Zaixing came to report one after another, and considering the qualifications of the four, Liu Jue arranged suitable positions for the four of them.

After a few months, Liu Jue will be able to promote the four of them again.

After the things were arranged one by one, Liu Jue got along with Cai Mao, Kuai Yue and other old ministers, at least on the surface.

Zhuge Liang and Pang Tong also followed Liu Jue to Xiangyang, plus Zhang Juzheng, Bao Zheng and others, they can also compete with these old ministers.

What's more, Liu Jue is not Liu Qi and Liu Cong, what he holds in his hands is real military power, and there are many old ministers who fall to him, such as Li Jue, Liu Xian and others.

After dealing with the affairs in Xiangyang, Liu Jue returned to Xiling and accompanied the foot trainer and Xiao Qiao for a few days, the two girls' bellies are getting bigger and bigger, and it is estimated that they will give birth soon.

After that, Liu Jue decided to go to Lu Xun to have a look, after all, Wuxi mineral deposits are very important, and they are also related to population growth.

Liu Jue took his own soldiers and went straight to the public security by boat, and then went south to Yuanling.

Along the way, Liu Jue could see Wei Yan's soldiers, forcibly arresting those unruly Wuxi people into the army one by one.

And those who dare to resist will only be greeted with a violent beating, and they will not show mercy at all.

Surrounded by crying Wuxi women and children, it seems that they should be their family, in addition, there are some Han people watching.

For this situation, Liu Jue didn't have much turmoil in his heart, he gave the Wuxi people a chance to integrate into the Han people, and he couldn't blame others for his death.

Yuanling, very close to Wuxi, when Shamoke and others made a rebellion, they broke through Yuanling City, which harmed a lot of Han people.

Therefore, the people of Yuanling did not have a good impression of the Wuxi people, but under Liu Jue's policy, a large number of widowed and unmarried Wuxi women married Han people, so that the people of Yuanling accepted the Wuxi people.

After Liu Jue entered the city, he soon came to the county mansion, not far away is Wei Yan's mansion, and the plaque on it reads 'Fuwuxi Zhonglang General'.

When they came to the outside of the county magistrate's office, Lu Xun and Wei Yan were already greeting them.

"Meet the lord!" Lu Xun and Wei Yan saw Liu Jue and immediately stepped forward to worship. Now that Liu Jue has become the pastor of Jingzhou, Zhuge Liang and they naturally changed their name to the lord.

"Bo Yan and Wen Chang don't have to be polite!" Liu Jue smiled slightly and stepped forward to help the two of them.

I haven't seen him for more than a month, Lu Xun has tanned a little, but he has a little more military temperament.

The three of them exchanged a few words, and Lu Xun invited Liu Jue into the mansion and sat down in the study.

"Bo Yan, I don't know what the situation in Wuxi is now?" Liu Jue directly explained his intentions.

When he learned that Liu Jue was coming, Lu Xun guessed his purpose, so he had already prepared in his heart.
