Chapter 873: Win first and then fight (first update)

With the families of the prefects from all walks of life in Shu, some clans gathered in Chengdu. Almost everyone in Chengdu knew that Kou Feng was planning to return to Xiangyang.

Many people are worried.

Now is no longer the time when Liu Zhang was in power. At that time, Shuzhong was still a little resistant capital. Now it is Chu State invading Shuzhong.

Military power and regime are in the hands of Kuo Feng of Chu. If Kuo Feng retreats and the Southern Barbarians take advantage of this to counterattack, will Shu be occupied by aliens?

Such a large-scale migration of officials casts a shadow on Chengdu.

In the east of the city, in the study room of Meng You lived in.

Meng You's stand-in was sitting in the top position, while Meng You and several confidants were sitting in the side position. At this moment, Meng You had completely changed her dress.

My beard was shaved and my hairstyle became a Han Chinese hairstyle. My clothes became Han Chinese. Although I was still a bit weird, I looked like an ordinary Han Chinese.

Anyway, if people saw Meng You today, they would never have thought that this was Meng Huo’s younger brother.

"Sir, the news has basically been confirmed now. Kou Feng will definitely return to Xiangyang. The time is for our Nanzhong Dasheng." One of Meng You's confidants said excitedly.

"Yes, otherwise I wouldn't have spent so much energy and risked the turmoil in Shu to gather the families of various prefects. The clans came to Chengdu and prepared to migrate together."

Another confidant nodded.

The two of them said that everyone in the study nodded. The current situation in Chengdu has made them realize in their hearts that Kou Feng was planning to leave.

Once Kou Feng left, Shu became empty.

"It's true. We should leave too." Meng You also showed a look of agreement on his face, and he nodded.

Finally able to leave.

As Meng You said this, everyone in the study felt relieved. Although they were still safe in Chengdu, they could not be as free and comfortable as they were in Nanzhong.

Immediately, Meng You ordered his substitute to stay in Chengdu, while he and his confidant returned to Nanzhong under the pretext of his name.

……………………

"Your Majesty, some of Meng You's confidants have quietly returned to Nanzhong. But what is strange is that Meng You is still there."

Chu Gong’s Bei Pagoda, in the study room.

Kou Feng sat in the top position, and Kou River stood underneath.

Kou Shui was reporting to Kou Feng about the situation that happened in Meng You's residence. Meng You is also considered a general of the enemy country. At present, Kou Shui is fully responsible for the spy sent by Kou Feng.

"Meng You are still here?" Kou Feng's face showed some doubts.

Although his spies were all over the world, he still didn't know that Meng You had a little-known stand-in. However, although Kou Feng was puzzled, why Meng You didn't leave together.

But Kou Feng didn't want to find out what medicine was sold here. Can Meng You make him feel hurt? This is too high-profile.

Meng Huo is considered a domineering person in the South Central and powerful. It is enough to allow Kou Feng to attack with all his strength. Meng You is just a barbarian general. In Kou Feng's heart, Shamoko is much more powerful than Meng You.

Therefore, no matter how mysterious Meng You is, it doesn't matter to Kou Feng.

"According to the spy's news, he is indeed still in the mansion and his daily routine is as usual." Kou Shui nodded and said.

"Don't worry about him. I'll just plan as usual." Kou Feng shook his head and said, then ordered: "Go and issue an order to Zhang Ziqiao, and migrate in three days."

"No." Kou Shui said, and then bid farewell.

After Kou Shui left, Kou Feng immediately stood up and brought a group of guards outside a large workshop.

The workshop is very remote, and there are no plaques in front of the door. There are not even many guards. The people nearby know that this may be a workshop, but they don’t know what is produced here.

I only know that there are large-scale workers coming in and out here every day.

After Kou Feng's carriage arrived, Kou Feng immediately walked off the carriage and walked in with some of the guards.

Not long after, the person in charge here received the news and came to greet him.

"I don't know if you are visiting me, and I'll thank you for your mistakes." The person in charge is a middle-aged scholar who looks kind and kind. He said nervously at this moment.

Calling himself a minister.

This is a minor official under the Chu State's tent. This is also the place where Kou Feng personally ordered the production of the compass.

Compass, a gadget. But it is a weapon that Kou Feng thinks can win. Its production is something Kou Feng is extremely concerned about, and now the army is about to take action.

Kou Feng came to see how many compass were produced.

"How many compass have you produced now?" Kou Feng nodded and asked.

"A total of more than 45,000 were produced." The little official replied.

"More than 45,000?" Kou's face was filled with satisfaction. His army in southern expedition was estimated to be more than 100,000, but now there are more than 45,000.

It can be said that there is no three people to have a compass.

If Meng Huo suddenly launched a sneak attack or fled into the rainforest in the southern middle rainforest, his army could effectively resist or attack.

With the compass, and some time ago, Kou Feng hired many hunters to enter the army to teach the soldiers how to survive in the forest.

In this way, the geographical advantage that the barbarians in the south were relied on was destroyed by Kou Feng.

In addition, Fa Zheng's plan to openly build a plank road and secretly overcome Chen Cang. Such sufficient preparation greatly increased Kou Feng's confidence, which also corresponded to the saying that victory first and then fighting.

The State of Chu will never fight a war that is unsure.

"Get a compass over," Kou Feng ordered.

"No." The little official replied, went down and took a compass over in person. Then, he respectfully presented it to Kou Feng.

Kou Feng reached out to take it.

This compass can no longer be described as simple. Its exterior is loaded with porcelain, a special-shaped porcelain, about the size of a bronze wine glass.

A compass is set inside. The magnetic needle pointing to the north is deliberately painted red, while the magnetic needle is the true color in the south. In this way, even soldiers who do not understand the words can clearly distinguish the direction.

Kou Feng held the compass in his hand and took a closer look. He felt very satisfied. Although this thing is still a little simple, it is definitely a must-have companion for traveling at home.

However, there is another only problem now. That is, the porcelain is fragile. When soldiers fight, the damage rate is estimated to be relatively high.

However, Kou Feng came up with an idea.

"Stop production from today. Concentrate manpower to make simple coats for this compass, made of wood to prevent the compass from breaking. In addition, a batch of bags are also made. The kind that can be hung around the waist." Kou Feng pondered for a moment and said.

The first is to prevent the compass from breaking. The second is that Kou Feng knew that the soldiers now do not know the importance of the compass, and were afraid of losing it. If he could add a bag and hang it around his waist, he would not have lost it.

"No." The little official immediately responded when he heard this.

After knowing the situation of the compass, Kou Feng did not stay in this workshop for a long time, but immediately ordered the guards and took him to the camp of Fazheng in the south of the city.

Only Kou Feng knew that this thing existed. No matter whether it was the general of the army, Fa Zheng, or counselors Zhang Song, Zhuge Liang, etc., they didn't know about it.

Now, the compass has almost been produced. The plan has also begun. Of course, Kou Feng has to tell Fa Zheng about the situation.

Kou Feng came by coincidence, it was the time when Fa Zheng led his army to train.

In the schoolyard, 30,000 troops were holding Chu swords and slashing.

"Kill", "Kill."

The soldiers sweated wildly, and loud shouts of killing continued to erupt from their mouths.

Fazheng's army began to be established after conquering Yan Yan and surrendering countless Yizhou soldiers. It has been several months now.

Although Yan Yan's headquarters was very elite at the beginning, the other generals' army was relatively loose and basically unable to fight.

But over the past few months, Fazheng's training has become increasingly elite.

Since Fa Zheng's army arrived in Chengdu, Kou Feng has come to the military camp several times. Every time he comes, he can clearly feel the changes in the army.

Not only did the body become stronger, but the discipline became more stringent. The loose atmosphere and mental outlook also changed greatly.

Kou Feng was not sure how the generals under Liu Zhang's tent in Yizhou were in charge of the army. However, Fa Zheng implemented a clear distinction between rewards and punishments.

Those who have made merits will be rewarded heavily, and those who have made mistakes will be punished. Never be merciless.

In fact, it is so simple to manage the army. The heavy rewards make the soldiers feel like drinking nectar, making them enthusiastic. The heavy punishments make the soldiers afraid and dare not relax and perfunctory.

In this way, a strong army was slowly established.

People say that the Chu army has strong combat power. Yes, part of it is because of Kou Feng's personal prestige, and it is the monarch collectively supported by the people of Chu.

But most of them are actually good at governing the army. For example, Pang Tong, Xu Shu, Huang Zhong and Gan Ning, etc., they are either wise men or generals.

The Chu army was built with Kou Feng as the main body and these generals as the backbone. This is the foundation for building the combat effectiveness of the Chu *** team.

This is the reason why Kou Feng uses the right method.

At this moment, Fa Zheng was on the general stage and personally urged the soldiers to train. A personal soldier reported that after Kou Fengjie arrived, he told Wu Yi to leave the general stage.

When Fa Zheng got off the stage, Kou Feng had already arrived near the school grounds.

"Your Majesty." Fa Zheng walked quickly towards Kou Feng and paid homage to the Tao.

"About three days later, the army will set off. This time I came to ask about the situation in Xiaozhi's army." Kou Feng said with a smile.

"Please move up to the Central Army's tent." Fa Zheng bent over and led his way.

"Okay." Kou Feng nodded. Then, the two of them came to the nearby central army tent together.

After entering the central army's tent, Kou Feng sat down straight on the commander's seat. Fa Zhengzhe sat on the left.
