Liu Bei had already penetrated deep into Yanzhou, but Liu Ke did not continue his pursuit.
The Yangzhou army hoarded Yanzhou border, but strangely, Cao Cao did not react at all.
Except for the city, there is no defense.
If that was all, the gates of every city were wide open, as if they were welcoming Liu Ke into Yanzhou.
The only difference is that Yanzhou soldiers all wear white scarves on their heads.
"Cao Mengde actually played such a little trick." Liu Xiaoxiao said.
Liu Ke¡¯s men accidentally killed Cao Song, and Cao Cao actually used this as a means to resist Liu Ke, which is simply incredible.
This is a conspiracy to test Liu Ke's character.
However, what Cao Cao didn't know was that Liu Ke actually had no idea about Yanzhou, and Yangzhou was not ready yet.
Liu Ke pays attention to excellence in his work. The bigger the territory, the better. He must have enough ability to digest it.
¡° Take Jiaozhou, for example, Liu Ke has been struggling for so long, but still can¡¯t digest it.
The most obvious manifestation is that it has no ability to protect itself when faced with attacks from princes.
Jiaozhou cannot compete with Jingzhou on its own and must rely on the power of Yangzhou.
So in Liu Ke¡¯s view, blindly expanding territory is not helpful at all.
Yangzhou is already a unique place.
Even Jiaozhou¡¯s success can¡¯t keep up with the development of Yangzhou, and it will be difficult to follow up. Therefore, Jiaozhou did not increase much strength, but became a burden. Of course, calling it a burden is a bit too much. It can only be said to be tasteless and a pity to throw away.
After several years of development, the situation in Jiaozhou has changed a lot, but it is only the same as Xuzhou.
Liu Ke captured Xuzhou not only to retaliate against the Allies and Liu Bei, but also for a deeper reason, that is, Xuzhou is close to Yangzhou and is most affected by Yangzhou. Liu Ke does not need to spend several years to transform it. It is the result of subtle influence.
Therefore, Liu Ke does not have much ambition for Yanzhou. For him, territory is not just a resource but also a responsibility.
Now, Liu Ke has the ability to control the three states, and Yangzhou has enough strength to lead the development of the two states.
Although he saw through Cao Cao's tricks, Liu Ke had no intention of doing the opposite, and he was not a three-year-old child.
Strong strength is the foundation.
"Withdraw troops!" Liu Ke ordered.
So, the army at the Yanzhou border left. This also means that Liu Bei is safe and Liu Ke has no intention of pursuing further.
The top priority is to stabilize Xuzhou.
If you want to find an adjective, Jiaozhou is now one-tenth of Yangzhou, and the same is true for Xuzhou. However, Jiaozhou can develop to at most one-quarter of Yangzhou, while Xuzhou can develop to one-half of Yangzhou.
Therefore, in Liu Ke¡¯s plan, Xuzhou should be turned into half of Yangzhou.
When Liu Ke returned to the army, Guo Jia had already captured the city of Xuzhou. At this point, the entire Xuzhou had fallen into Liu Ke's hands.
Liu Ke held a grand celebration banquet, and everyone got drunk before resting.
The next day, Liu Ke began to make arrangements for Xuzhou.
"Fengxiao, the governor of Xuzhou, who do you think is qualified?"
Faced with Liu Ke¡¯s question, Guo Jia did not give any advice, but simply said: ¡°My lord, you can make your own decision.¡±
The governor of Xuzhou is a high-ranking official in the border areas, and his status is self-evident. He must be the goal of all classes.
Liu Ke already has a candidate in mind, and that is Zhang Hong. He must be capable enough. Liu Ke hesitates now because the family is also very interested in Xuzhou.
For example, the Lu family and the Gu family have recently compromised. In order to balance the relationship, Liu Ke had to think more.
Therefore, Liu Ke asked Guo Jia before making a decision.
Although Guo Jia answered Tiger Balm¡¯s words, there was some truth in it.
With Liu Ke¡¯s status now, how could he possibly need to compromise?
"Then transfer Zhang Hong to take over as the governor of Xuzhou." Liu Kedao, "As for the governor of Xuzhou Hua Xiong will be the one."
Liu Ke did not incorporate Hua Xiong into the main battle corps because he had this intention. Xuzhou is an important place. If it wants to develop, its defense force must not be weak.
??????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? Otherwise, it will be unspeakably miserable if it is destroyed by the enemy as soon as it has begun to develop.
Hua Xiong¡¯s military bravery is enough to suppress a state, not to mention that the road from Yangzhou to Xuzhou is smooth and support can be provided at any time.
Jiaozhou?Guangzhou is a sparsely populated area with many hills and forests. It is very difficult to develop. If Liu Ke had not developed maritime transportation, the exchanges between the two states would have become even less.
"The garrison of Xuzhou is tentatively estimated to be one hundred thousand." Liu Kedao.
Xuzhou is now full of industries waiting to be prospered. It is a waste to raise too many troops. There will be no major wars in recent years.
Even so, Liu Ke¡¯s army still numbered a terrifying 750,000.
Because of Liu Ke's presence, the damage caused by the Yellow Turban Rebellion was greatly reduced. The population in the late Eastern Han Dynasty was preserved, and Liu Ke took in a large number of refugees and expanded food production, which played a big role in this.
Although 750,000 troops is a lot, it is definitely not an exaggeration.
After Liu Ke finished speaking, his subordinates were busy next.
Needless to say, Zhang Hong rushed to Xuzhou on a starry night, set up his own team of governors, and began intense work.
Although Hua Xiong is the governor of Xuzhou, it is not his turn to worry about recruiting troops. Xun You personally took action, recruited Xuzhou soldiers and posted recruitment notices.
Countless financial resources have been used.
Originally, there were still people among the six divisions who advocated seizing Yanzhou, but now that a series of data has come down, those people no longer dare to say anything.
Although Mi Zhu is a humble gentleman, it does not mean that he will not troll others. A large amount of money has been spent on the post-war reconstruction of Yangzhou and Jiaozhou. Next, for the sake of ostentation, another 300,000 troops were sent out, and now it is the construction of Xuzhou
Yangzhou¡¯s finances have long been unable to support it.
??????????????????????????????????????????????????????????The Pressure Is So Great is Just Conquering Xuzhou, but if she comes to win another Yanzhou, I'm afraid everyone will be forced to death.
Liu Ke¡¯s governance philosophy is different from that of other princes. Other princes only require that the people have enough to eat and not cause trouble. Where is Liu Ke? Not only colleges will be opened, but also a large number of medical clinics.
¡°This is a governing concept with Yangzhou characteristics and must be firmly implemented.¡± Liu Ke repeatedly warned.
¡° In this way, Xuzhou will definitely be digested within three years. Even if he faces another war in the future, Liu Ke will be right.
Liu Bei was pitiful. After escaping to Yanzhou, he gathered 20,000 scattered soldiers and fled to Jingzhou in a hurry. It was not that he had never thought about capturing Yanzhou, but Jian Yong advised: "My lord, even if our army can capture Yanzhou, it will just give Dongyang Hou an excuse to enter Yanzhou."
What a sinister Dongyang Hou! No wonder he didn't kill them all!
Thinking of this, Liu Bei couldn't help but feel a sense of sadness, but there was still Jingzhou willing to accept him.
? ? ? ? ? ? Unfortunately, bad luck. When passing through Yuzhou, Liu Bei was attacked by Yuan Shu and his army, and was defeated again.
After escaping, Liu Bei vomited three mouthfuls of blood and vowed to cut Yuan Shu into pieces with a thousand knives! (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
