Chapter 816 Good steel is used on the blade
Although Zhao Xing, the King of Pingxi in Wohu City, is not able to control the specific actions of Cao Cao and Liu Bei, the huge intelligence network he formed is like a sophisticated machine, meshing the gears of time day and night, transmitting small changes that occur in the Central Plains back to Wohu City from time to time.
Seeing Cao Cao and Liu Bei stir up trouble in the heart of the Central Plains, if Zhao Xing didn't care at all, it would be self-deception. However, judging from the actions he has taken at this moment, it seems that he is just letting it go, basically not taking too many countermeasures, let alone verbal temptations or warnings.
Zhao Xing is now a mature politician. His two-life experience has given him insight and wisdom far beyond ordinary people. Only then can he not waste any sluts and fight any futile verbal battles with others. If he wants to fight, it will be a battle of one and one to one.
Zhao Xing is not afraid of war, nor is he afraid of death. He just likes to fight decisively according to his own steps and plans, and is unwilling to be led by others to tease the circle.
According to the analysis of the feedback from various places, after about two years of recovery and restoration, Liang State, Jizhou, Qingzhou and Xuzhou are now in a very strong development momentum, and Youzhou, which was included in the sphere of influence by Zhao Xing in the early days, is now even more inclined to move closer to Jin State; Guan Yu and Liu Yu have expanded and advanced in an orderly manner in the Western Regions, and can feed back to the mainland; the situation in the entire Northeast region is now clear, and it is just a short time to be the last one. At this time, Zhao Xing is absolutely unwilling to take the initiative to launch a major decisive battle, turning the huge advantages that are about to be transformed into reality into a bubble.
As long as Zhao Xing is given another year, Liang Kingdom, Jizhou, Qingzhou and Xuzhou will not affect production development while fighting. The two super ATMs, Jin Kingdom and Youzhou, can even supply a steady stream of war materials everywhere. The Northeast region can draw an army of at least 100,000 people, and the Western Regions can also return troops with more than 60,000 troops.
Once that comes, the initiative of the war will be completely in the hands of Zhao Xing. He can even restore the economic and livelihood of the new battlefield while fighting, so that the damage caused to the country and the people will be minimized by the entire war.
Zhao Xing's many advisers, such as Jia Xu, Tian Feng, Guo Jia, Pang Tong, Chen Gong, etc., basically agree with Zhao Xing's view, and also feels that it is too hurrying to launch a full-scale civil war under the current circumstances. It is better to wait a little longer and accumulate enough strength to determine the universe in one battle, and complete the war of unification of the north and the south in the shortest time.
Of course, strategists Jia Xu and Guo Jia also clearly pointed out to Zhao Xing that Yizhou cannot be compared with the Central Plains because of its special geographical location, coupled with the complex ethnic components and mountains and hills in its territory, and it will definitely be the hardest to crack in the future, so we must be prepared to fight two major battles at the same time.
Zhao Xing deeply agreed with this view. He even felt that before really solving Cao Cao and Liu Bei, he might as well leave some time for Cao Cao and Liu Bei, so that Cao and Liu would first learn from the current advanced system and model of Jin State, and let them help clean up some small forces. Jin State and Liang State concentrated their efforts to solve the biggest disaster of Sima Yi, Yizhou.
Judging from the method of Sima Yi's order to seal off all the roads leading to Liangguo and Hanzhong, and building large-scale military garrison fortresses, the Sima family is preparing to occupy Yizhou and fight to the end with Zhao Xing. Although he has a headache for this opponent, Zhao Xing has to face it, because in Zhao Xing's view, the Sima family is the biggest source of disasters that may cause in the future. If this ambition-filled thousand-year-old family is not eradicated, I don't know how much disaster it will cause to the Han Dynasty.
It is true that the Sima family produces talents, but it seems that they have big problems in moral education. Many of the people they have cultivated are "bad elements" with virtue but not talent. If they are allowed to grow up in Yizhou, they don't know how much storm will cause in the future.
Since he decided to continue to follow his own path unswervingly, Zhao Xing could not be worried about the news that had been sent back in the Central Plains all day long. No matter how hard Liu Bei and Cao Cao were, they were just building a temple in a screw shell. Although it seemed lively, it was still difficult to reverse the trend.
Because of a "plague" in the middle of the year, more than 40% of the people were scared away, and basically all of them were cheaper to Zhao Xing. More than one million poor people were just refugees in the wealthy families in Chang'an City, but in Zhao Xing's view it was a huge wealth for the revitalization of the Northeast. I believe that in a few years, the value created by these million people will far exceed the value they had when they were crowded in Guanzhong.
Although Huangfu Song was promoted to General of the Chariot and Cavalry, and their family also had all the land of Guanzhong, anyone with a discerning eye could see that since Gao Nu's defeat, this famous general had long lost his courage and became ashamed. He just lived a life of life in Chang'an City. With the momentum and combat power of the Imperial Guard, they were no match for the Pioneer Army and Dingyuan Army, and they were basically ignored in the threat to Liang and Jin. If the Huangfu family dared to take the initiative, then they would be a ruthless counterattack until the entire Guanzhong area fell into Zhao Xing's hands.
Zhao Xing is now looking at Chang'an City, waiting for an opportunity to take action.
Although the Northern Army guarding Luoyang area and the Southern Army guarding Wei County in Jizhou were still directly dispatched by Lu Zhi and Zhu Ye, they were facing the Crouching Tiger Army. The troops like the Xiongwu Army that make people feel desperate, as long as the Bingzhou Legion and Jizhou Legion adopt strategic defense, Lu Zhi and Zhu Ye are destined to do nothing. As for the future Central Plains War, it will be a different situation at that time.
Cao Cao's old nest is adjacent to Qingzhou and Xuzhou, and now he has obtained most of Yuzhou. In the next time, he has to face the pressure of the Flying Tiger Army, Donglai Army, Dragon Cavalry Army and Qinghua Army. Although Lao Cao has a lot of talents, Wen has Xun You, Xun Yu, Cheng Yu, Xi Zhong and Liu Ye, and Wu has many powerful men following his followers, such as Xiahou brothers, Cao Ren, Cao Zhen, Cao Dun, Li Dian, Le Jin, Yu Jin, etc., but Zhao Yun, Zhang Liao, Guo Jia, Dian Wei, Gao Shun, Chen Gong, Li Tiezhu, Guan Ping, etc., who are stationed in Qingxu, are not given for nothing. If the Jin Navy is a super-powered supporter, it will be even more difficult for Lao Cao to really get some benefits in Qingxu.
Liu Bei transferred Zhang Fei to Yuzhou and asked Han Rong and Zhuge to Yangzhou. Although Zhao Xing was surprised, it was only a surprise, so it did not make Zhao Xing unable to sleep or eat and toss and turn.
Although only general Zhang Liao in Xuzhou was in charge, and the Xuzhou army had only 60,000 regular troops, Xuzhou was connected to Qingzhou in the north and Wuzhou in the south, which was not as easy to grasp. Moreover, there was a navy force that could always be reinforced by Yuzhou Military Port in Qu County, Donghai. The Yangzhou left by Yuan Shu to Zhuge Kongming was a veritable mess. By the time Kong Ming completely straightened Yangzhou, he still didn't know how long it would take.
Standing on the Taihang Mountain and looking around, Zhao Xing felt fortunately that six major legions were established at the right time, and he gritted his teeth to dispatch many capable generals and wise men. Now it seems that it is really good to use the steel on the blade, and no one can shake them.
