Chapter 1058 A New War Preparation Begins

.. , the strongest system to dominate the Three Kingdoms

Zhang Yu told Zhuge Liang several things.

First, road construction, from south to north, from east to west, road construction does not need to build roads, but relatively simple roads can be built.

Second, in the administration of officials, Zhang Yu gave him more than a hundred talents, and these talents must be put to good use.

Third, to fight crime. Although it is far away from the Central Plains, it cannot breed too many crimes and become a place where a large number of businessmen live outside the law.

Fourth, overall development.

Fifth, taxation. Tax evasion is very serious here, and businessmen have corrupted many officials.

Zhang Yu explained a lot to Zhuge Liang, and he must entrust him with a heavy responsibility.

At the same time, Zhang Yu gave Zhuge Liang the power to use tax revenues. Within two years, all the tax revenues only need to be repaid to him, and all taxes will be kept for him to use.

Moreover, if you don't have enough money, you can ask Zhang Yu for it.

Zhang Yu gave him so much power, and also transferred him more than 10,000 troops. Of the 3,000 troops he brought with him, he brought 500 people with him when he returned.

Zhuge Liang was moved that Zhang Yu trusted him so much.

After staying at sea for nearly a day, chatting with Zhuge Liang for a long time, and listening to some of his measures, Zhang Yu left.

"I hope Zhuge Liang has the ability to change the state here, otherwise it would be a pity."

If Zhuge Liang can manage this place well, it will be a great political achievement in the future, and he will definitely be transferred to the central government, first as a minister, then as a cabinet.

Zhuge Liang is Zhang Yu's favorite person, and it is a certain thing to give him a heavy responsibility.

Zhang Yu took the boat this time, planning to stop along the road for supplies, and go all the way back to Peiping directly.

This trip to the south for inspection was in a hurry, and he didn't have time to check slowly. His focus was still fighting for hegemony with the princes.

Zhang Yu has long set his next goal in the Poyang Lake area.

This place is occupied by Cao Cao. If he is allowed to occupy it for a long time, it will be very unfavorable, because the wealth here will allow him to quickly recover his strength.

Zhang Yu wants to unify China as soon as possible.

Then go all out against the West, so time is ticking.

Zhang Yu has asked the cabinet to start preparations.

At this time, Zhang Yu's financial resources have been greatly restored, and a large number of assets have been shipped back from overseas, which is his capital.

When Zhang Yu returned to New Peiping, the cabinet began to report to Zhang Yu.

"My lord, in this administration of officials, we have eliminated quite a few officials, and some officials sent them back to study in the academy, and promoted a group of people."

Tian Feng reported the situation in various places to Zhang Yu in detail.

This is what Zhang Yu needs.

Streamlining bureaucracy while improving efficiency.

Most of the traditional officials do nothing, but when it comes to Zhang Yu, inaction is not an option.

Another outstanding problem is the management of townships. During the Qin and Han Dynasties, the emperors could not control them, and there was no way to control them at all.

But Zhang Yu was different. With the help of a large number of retired soldiers, he used the militia organization to deal a heavy blow to the gentry and local tyrants. These people were not as influential as in the past.

"Okay, after this adjustment, our internal cooperation has become more cooperative. I have decided to launch a campaign after the spring." Zhang Yu said after hearing the report.

The cabinet unanimously agreed that their difficult period has passed, and now there is no need to continue to invest overseas. Even South Africa and other places only need to transport people there for a long time, but they don't need to invest much money.

There are a lot of gold mines over there, and a large amount of gold mines can be shipped back to fully cover these expenses.

Zhang Yu is about to launch a war again.

No time to wait, this Cao Cao won Luoyang Chang'an and other areas, and became stronger again.

Zhang Yu began to mobilize troops and horses to the south, and there was a lot of grain and grass there, so there was no need to transport grain and grass.

The efficiency of launching the war this time is very high, and there is no need to recruit civilians or food.

You can fight as long as the troops are deployed.

Spring has come, Zhang Yu didn't start the war right away because he didn't want to affect the farming.

Although the professional army has little influence, officials at all levels must cooperate, and at the same time, it will also have an impact on the people around the theater.

The cloud of war loomed again, and Cao Cao was quite worried.

In the autumn of last year, Zhang Yu ascended the throne, and then cut taxes, so that the tax he collected this year was much, much lower.

If Luoyang and Chang'an hadn't been taken down and a batch of Guo Si's property had not been seized, he might have no money to spend at this time.

He had just finished handling internal affairs and killed a group of family landlords, and Zhang Yu was about to go to war at this time.

He had to deal with the war, and now he didn't even have the ability to control the rhythm of the war.

Cao Cao likes to listen to the opinions of his subordinates most, so he called all his subordinates.

"This king intends to deal with the current affairs and proclaim himself emperor, but Zhang Yu called at this time." Cao Cao said.

At this time, Cao Cao was actually not having a good time. He beat Sun Ce and occupied Shouchun. This made Sun Ce very unhappy, and he would inevitably attack him when he was fighting Zhang Yu.

"Meng De, we should repair our relationship with Sun Ce," Xu You said.

Fighting against Zhang Yu, Zhang Yu's strength is too strong. At this time, Cao Cao has no ability to fight on two fronts, so he can only repair it.

But, how to fix it?

"My lord, we can promise to help him take down Jingzhou. We are in the north and he is in the south, attacking Jingzhou." Cheng Yu said.

Jia Xu said, "If it was possible in the past, Sun Ce would not believe that we have the ability to help him when Zhang Yu's army is overwhelming."

This is very embarrassing, they really don't have that strength.

But after putting forward this condition, I believe Sun Ce will also consider it and will not use force easily.

"Without actual benefits, I'm afraid this matter will be difficult to achieve. Even if the negotiation is successful, we are not at ease." Cao Cao said.

At this time, Man Pang suggested: "My lord, please forgive me for being bold."

Cao Cao saw that Man Pang had something to say, so he said, "Please speak boldly."

"To show sincerity, it's nothing more than making peace and sending hostages. You can let the eldest son marry the daughter of the Sun family, and let the second son be a hostage."

It is indeed very bold for Man Pang to say this. If he encounters some irritable and unreasonable masters, Man Pang's words may cause trouble.

How insulting it is to send hostages.

Man Pang didn't dare to say that if Cao Ang and Cao Pi were to go, Sun Ce would not necessarily pay the bill.

"Choose a woman from the Cao family, and marry her too." Cao Cao said, "Let Pi'er send her there too."

Cao Cao didn't say to make Cao Pi a hostage, but this is actually a hostage.

It's just to give each other face, it's not that straightforward.

Zhang Yu may call at any time, Cao Cao immediately sent someone to arrange.

At the same time, resources were mobilized to Shouchun City, as well as Chao County and Hefei City, ready to support at any time.

Both armies are mobilizing their respective forces.

Zhang Yu stayed in Peiping for a few days, and then went south again.

This time he is going to Jiangdong, ready to attack Cao Cao.

A new round of war is about to begin.

The difference is that before the war started, Zhang Yu ordered the counties to recruit soldiers and horses. This time Jizhou also played a more important role. Zhang Yu recruited more soldiers and horses in Jizhou than other states and counties.

In this battle, Zhang Yu never thought of stopping, and planned to keep pushing and fight continuously.
