After making arrangements for Lelang County, Liu Ke rushed back to Yangzhou to take charge.
Cao Cao strengthened Yanzhou's defense, causing tensions between the two sides.
Lu Su thought very hard, and he still had ways to deal with government affairs, but in terms of military affairs, he had no decision-making power.
For this reason, Liu Ke had no choice but to return early.
On the pier, I happened to meet Chen Deng who was about to go to Lelang County. His relatives and friends were seeing him off.
Lelang County is a remote place. After Chen Deng left, he would not be able to come back for a few years.
"However, this is indeed a place where people are sharpened. If Chen Deng survives it, he will definitely stand out.
"Yuanlong, Lelang County and Daifang County will be left to you." Liu Kedao.
"Don't worry, my lord, you have already taken care of the surrounding areas. Who dares to be dishonest? When I go to Lelang County, I will focus on developing people's livelihood." Chen Deng said.
"No, if you are not of my race, your heart will be different. If you don't show enough strength, the alien race will soon become ruthless, so defense must not be left behind." Liu Ke warned.
"I understand!" Chen Deng said with cupped hands.
Liu Ke explained some more things, such as how to deal with foreign races.
Chen Deng listened very carefully. After all, there are some things that really need to be learned.
An hour passed in a flash.
"If anything happens, you can inform Ding Feng. As a deterrent force to contact Lelang County and Yangzhou, he can help you a lot." Liu Kedao.
"My subordinates have remembered it," Chen Deng said.
Liu Ke didn¡¯t delay any longer and waved his hand to signal Chen Deng to leave.
"Bon Voyage."
"I would like to borrow my Lord's auspicious words."
Liu Ke returned home all the way, met with his wife and children, and visited Liu Youyi before going to the official residence to handle official business.
"These are backlogged documents." Lu Su said.
"Okay, inform the Tiance Mansion and cabinet members to prepare for a meeting in the evening." Liu Kedao.
"Yes." Lu Su didn't ask any more questions. He immediately guessed that he wanted to discuss how to deal with Cao Cao.
The Tiance Mansion manages the foreign expeditionary corps, and the cabinet is an important organization that assists Liu Ke. The two are almost the highest-status departments in Yangzhou except Liu Ke.
Liu Ke glanced at the pile of documents and began to concentrate on processing them at lightning speed.
Due to the economic development of Yangzhou, the number of problems has gradually increased.
If there are too many problems, supervision will naturally be required. Therefore, Liu Ke needs to deal with more and more things.
Of course, Lu Su and others have already dealt with some trivial matters.
In the evening, Liu Ke finished handling the government affairs, ordered his servants to prepare dinner, and held a banquet to discuss matters.
The civil servants include Guo Jia, Jia Xu, Lu Su, Xun You, Xu Shu, etc. The military officers include Zhao Yun, Lu Bu, Dian Wei, Xu Chu, Tai Shi Ci, Huang Zhong, Zhang Liao, etc.
¡°Congratulations to my lord on your triumphant return!¡± Everyone said in unison.
"I'm interested." Liu Ke raised his glass and drank it down.
Everybody drinks together.
Originally, Liu Ke's victory over the peninsula was worthy of mobilizing troops and mass troops, but Liu Ke refused all kinds of fancy greetings and kept everything simple.
Therefore, the subordinates could only congratulate Liu Ke through gatherings.
Liu Ke did not refuse.
Cai Yong wrote a big book about this, which has been recorded in the annals of history.
Liu Ke did not talk nonsense and went directly to the topic, saying:
"In order to deal with Cao Cao, I thought of two plans."
Everyone sat upright and listened.
"First, continue to promote the concept of people for the people and war for war. Gongsun Du has surrendered, and no one in the world opposes it."
"My lord is wise! Leave this matter to me and I will definitely handle it properly." Xu Shu said.
Liu Ke was very appreciative of this kind of initiative to take on tasks, and he was much better than Guo Jia.
Xu Shu is a student of Cai Yong and Sima Hui. Using the power of these two people, we will definitely be able to achieve amazing propaganda effects.
"Okay, Yuan Zhi, I'll leave this matter to you." Liu Kedao.
Xu Shu took over, and publicizing this matter can strengthen Liu Ke's prestige, which is a top priority for Yangzhou.
"Second, Yangzhou's military strength is no longer enough, so I decided to expand the army." Liu Kedao.
As soon as this sentence was uttered, Lu SuIt hurts. Now there are more than 800,000 troops in Yangzhou. If this is not enough, what do the other princes count?
However, when I thought about it, the coalition forces of Cao Cao and Yuan Shao had reached the level of Yangzhou.
??At least in quantity.
"I have no objection, but the number of troops must not exceed 1.5 million. This is the limit of Yangzhou." Lu Su said.
The corners of Guo Jia¡¯s mouth twitched: Lu Zijing, are you afraid that you don¡¯t know what 1.5 million means, so you¡¯re going to double your army at once? The Lord hasn't been this crazy for a long time.
The same is true for Liu Ke, who explained: "Don't worry, Zijing, just expand the army to 1.2 million this time."
Lu Su nodded and did not express any other opinions.
In order to deal with the crisis brought by the princes, Yangzhou must maintain sufficient military superiority. Otherwise, if the enemy attacks Yangzhou, it will definitely suffer heavy losses.
Because Yangzhou¡¯s wealth is beyond the imagination of the states, once robbery occurs, the consequences will be disastrous.
Yangzhou¡¯s prosperity is due to Liu Ke¡¯s support and stability. The latter is more important. If people have problems eating and drinking, how can they concentrate on production?
The population dropped sharply in the late Eastern Han Dynasty because of the threat of Yellow Turban thieves. They were not involved in production, but specialized in robbing those responsible for production, leading to a lack of order in the world.
Fortunately, the Yellow Turbans were eliminated, Liu Ke increased food production, and the population of the Central Plains was maintained and continued to grow.
The large population base gave the princes the confidence to expand their armies crazily.
After discussion, everyone came up with the following military expansion plan.
First, there is the garrison. The garrison was responsible for local defense and farming.
The garrison also needs to farm.
The garrison of Jiaozhou is 150,000, the garrison of Yangzhou is 200,000, the garrison of Xuzhou is 100,000, the garrison of Qingzhou is 100,000, and the garrison of Lelang County and Daifang County is 50,000.
In other words, the number of defenders has reached 600,000, and there are basically no changes, except that the defenses of Jiaozhou and Yangzhou have been strengthened.
The main battle corps is the focus of Liu Ke's army expansion.
The Tiger Guard, 100,000 men, is led by Zhao Yun.
Regardless of whether Zhao Yun was willing or not, Liu Ke still expanded the Tiger Guards. This is the greatest trust Liu Ke can give.
"Thank you for your cultivation, my lord!" Zhao Yun knew that Liu Ke had made up his mind, so he did not continue to object.
The Yangzhou Cavalry has 100,000 people, and the commander is Taishi Ci. Among them, there are 20,000 heavy cavalry, and the commander is Zhang He.
The number of heavy cavalry could no longer keep up with the development, and Liu Ke expanded accordingly.
Chishui Army, 50,000 men, was led by Gan Ning.
The Bohai Fleet has a fleet of 30,000 men and is led by Ding Feng.
The Bohai Fleet transferred some key members from the Chishui Army to form a new army. This is purely naval and has no responsibility for inland rivers.
With the remaining quota, Liu Ke directly expanded the Dongyang Army under his direct control, of which he has been personally serving as the head coach.
The Tuqi camp consisted of 50,000 people, and the commander was Lu Bu.
Shesheng Camp, 50,000 people, is led by Huang Zhong.
Guards camp, 50,000 men, led by Dian Wei.
There are 20,000 people trapped in the camp, and the commander is Gao Shun.
Chongbu Camp, 50,000 men, is under the command of Xu Chu.
Dongyang First Battalion (mixed camp, mixed of various arms), 50,000 people, commanded by Zhang Liao.
Dongyang Second Battalion (mixed camp, mixed of various arms), 50,000 people, commander-in-chief is Tibetan Ba.
? Among them, the establishment of the Chongbu Camp was based on the advancement of forging technology, and Liu Ke handed it over directly to Xu Chu.
After a month of recruitment and selection, Liu Ke completed Yangzhou's army expansion.
The number of troops reached a terrifying 1.2 million, causing panic among the princes.
Not only that, Liu Ke also shouted a slogan, that Yangzhou will increase its troops to 2 million!
This is very scary. (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com - Didn't finish reading? Add this book to your favoritesI'm a member and bookmarked this chapterCopy the address of this book and recommend it to your friends for pointsChapter error? Click here to report
