Chapter 422 The general trend of the world
Everyone's eyes immediately gathered on Huang Wudie. Huang Wudie clasped her fists at Ailang and said, "The Qingzhou military garrison has doubled compared to last year. This year it is expected to produce nearly one million dan of grain, enough for the Qingzhou military garrison to eat...." Ailang blinked at her with a smile. Huang Wudie didn't expect that his elder brother would openly tease him in public. He felt uncomfortable and his whole body seemed to have a fever. He calmed down and continued, "This is a matter of military garrison. As for civil affairs, I don't know." As he said that, he looked at Chen Gong, and he understood the meaning very clearly, that is, the civil affairs affairs have to ask you, the minister who is specifically responsible for internal affairs.
Chen Gong smiled and said, "The situation in Qingzhou is different from other places. The grain production in the military camps is basically the grain production in the entire Qingzhou. As for the output of the official mines, fishing farms, etc., it has doubled compared with last year. The overall situation is improving, not only enough to supply Qingzhou defenders, but also a lot of wealthy people are also imported into the warehouse." The situation in Qingzhou is as Chen Gong said, completely different from other places. Given that most of the people were kidnapped by Cao Cao, in order to avoid similar things happening again, Qingzhou is currently prohibited from entering at will to avoid losing a large number of people for no reason. Therefore, the entire Qingzhou is like a huge barracks and a huge official industry. Ailang did this and obviously made plans to give up Qingzhou at any time. It is no wonder that the area of Qingzhou is not easy to defend from the attack from the west. If the battle situation is unfavorable, it is obviously a very wise choice for Lu Bu to give up Qingzhou to shrink the defense line.
After talking about the situation in Qingzhou, Chen Gong immediately said: "As for Xuzhou and Huainan, since they have not experienced wars in recent years, the development of Africa has been very rapid and prosperous, and it is a prosperous scene! The income of the two places has doubled compared to two years ago! Now we have a lot of money and food, which can be said to be quite rich!"
Ailang smiled and said, "It is precisely because our economy has improved that we have expanded our army to 600,000! Now our strength is so strong that we can compete with Cao Cao!" Everyone was so excited when they heard Ailang's words.
Ailang said to Chen Gong: "Old Chen, we have finished talking about our situation. Let's talk about the situation of others." Chen Gong held his fists and said to everyone: "The strongest prince is Cao Cao. Cao Cao has the largest population and the vast land. After two years of rest and recuperation, he has basically recovered his vitality. According to the detailed report recently sent, Cao Cao's warehouse now has some surplus and surplus money, and the army has 800,000. Cao's army has obviously recovered from the great defeat two years ago. I can't think of it for long, and we will fight with it!..."
Wen Chou shouted: "Two years ago, our strength was far inferior to him and he almost couldn't get up in one battle! Two years later, we are not the same as before. Are we still afraid that he will not succeed? If we fight again, we will definitely completely eliminate Cao Cao and take all his territory!" Several vicious goalkeepers agreed loudly, all of them looking impatient.
Ailang laughed loudly.
Chen Gong calmed down while the generals and continued, "Apart from Cao Cao, the strongest one is Liu Bei. Not long ago, Liu Bei finally ended the Western Expedition, and he took all of Yizhou into his pocket. Not only that, the money and food accumulated by the two generations of Yizhou, as well as the 300,000 army and a large number of civil and military talents, also fell into the hands of Liu Bei. Now Liu Bei has 500,000 troops, and his strength is chasing us and Cao Cao! It should not be underestimated!" Then he smiled and said, "But this is a good thing for us at present!" Everyone would smile.
"The other prince is Sun Jian. Although this person has been preparing for war in the past two years, his strength has basically not increased due to his limited territory and population. His troops are about 50,000. Although his strength is not strong, if we take action at the critical moment of our confrontation with Cao Cao, it will probably cause a lot of trouble!"
Ailang said to everyone: "Today, everyone is summoned to give everyone a general understanding of ourselves and others' situation. After listening to Lao Chen's narration, everyone should have a clear idea, right?" Everyone nodded. Ailang said: "Everyone goes back, step up training, and prepare for battle. We may start a war with others soon." Everyone agreed in unison.
After the meeting, Ailang held Huang Wudie's slender hand and came to the backyard. Huang Wudie smiled and looked at Ailang, with a happy expression in her eyes. Ailang accidentally saw a strand of hair falling down on Huang Wudie's temples, and couldn't help but reach out to stroke her. Her eyes were full of emotions, and she couldn't help but move her. Ailang couldn't help but move her affection and hugged Huang Wudie in her arms. Huang Wudie's heart was tender and felt that the eldest brother's arms were the most comfortable and warm place in the world. At this moment, a figure suddenly moved behind the bushes not far away. Ailang immediately noticed and shouted, "Who?" Huang Wudie, who was enjoying in Ailang's arms, was shocked and quickly followed the eldest brother's sight.
I saw a maid in her twenties turn out from behind the bushes. The two immediately recognized that the maid was Muzi beside Sun Ren.
Muzi quickly stepped forward and said, "I pay homage to my lord and madam!" Huang Wudie immediately helped Muzi up and smiled, "No need to be polite!" Then he asked, "Is Sister Shangxiang at home?" Muzi glanced at Ailang and nodded at Huang Wudie. Huang Wudie said, "You go first, I will see my sister in a while." Muzi shouted, and then bowed to Ailang, "I will take my leave!" Ailang nodded, and Muzi retreated.
Huang Wudie turned around and said to Ailang, "Brother, I'll go see Sister Shangxiang, and I'll be with you later." Ailang held Huang Wudie's slender hand and said angrily: "It seems like you like your sister Shangxiang more! My brother is not as good as her!" Huang Wudie smiled and slapped her nose with her hand, joking, "What a great jealousy!" Then he reached out and patted Ailang's cheek, and said in a tone of coaxing children: "Be good! Don't make a fuss! Sister is here to go!" Ailang couldn't help but feel his heart swayed, and hugged Huang Wudie's slender waist and kissed her in pain. Huang Wudie was caught off guard, shocked, and glanced around in a hurry, looking afraid of being seen. Then he fell into the wonderful feeling brought by the passionate kiss, floating, as if he had flew into the sky, and didn't know where he was.
Ailang greedily sucked Huang Wudie's red lips, kissing her tall body completely limp in her arms, and then letting go. Huang Wudie held Ailang's chest and panted, raised her head and glanced at Ailang, whispered: "So domineering!" Then she left Ailang's arms and said, "I'll go see Sister Shangxiang." Ailang nodded with a smile. Huang Wudie turned around and went.
Chengdu Governor's Mansion. That night, the Governor's Mansion was brightly lit and a lively and joyful scene. Liu Bei invited all the civil and military officials at the Governor's Mansion to celebrate his birthday. In addition to the confidants of Liu Bei such as Zhang Feimizhu, there were also newly promoted civil and military officials such as Ma Chao and Zhang Song who joined Liu Bei.
After three rounds of wine and five flavors, Liu Bei put down his glass and couldn't help but sigh: "I, Liu Bei, have been in my 50s for half a lifetime. Now, I can finally sit down and have a drink with my relatives and friends!" Zhang Fei stood up and said loudly: "Look at what my brother said! What is drinking here? I can be sure. It won't be long before we can celebrate our brother's birthday in Cao Cao's nest in Xuchang!" Many civil and military officials agreed loudly, saying that they will wipe out Xichuan today and will definitely defeat Xuchang tomorrow, and support the great man is just around the corner.
Liu Bei showed a yearning look on his face. Sitting opposite Zhang Fei, a very ugly scholar smiled and said, "It is natural for the third general to have such ambition! But it is not a matter of success in a day or a night if you want to recover Xuchang and support the Han Dynasty!" Zhang Fei said angrily: "Does the military advisor think we are not the opponent of Cao thief?" Military advisor? It turned out that the ugly scholar was not someone else. It was a genius who came to join Liu Bei before Liu Bei entered Sichuan, known as Feng Chu.
Pang Tong is the same! In history, Pang Tong died on Luofengpo before he could succeed, leaving many regrets. However, in this time and space disrupted by Ailang, this Feng Chu did not die at the hands of Zhang Ren from Luofengpo, but successfully recruited Zhang Ren. It was precisely because of his assistance that Liu Bei was able to rush across Xichuan. It took only two years to completely wipe out Liu Zhang's power and occupy Yizhou. Pang Tong can be said to be the first person Liu Bei won Xichuan!
Pang Tong smiled slightly in the face of Zhang Fei's questioning, and said, "Three Generals, we are far stronger than before. Although our strength is far stronger than before, it is still quite different from Cao Cao! Cao Cao has the Central Plains, and the East and West Capitals are all under control. He has the vast land among all the princes, and his strength is still the highest among the princes! And after the rest of the past two years, the Cao army has basically restored its old view! With our strength, we have more rules to face Cao Cao, but less attacks are enough! If we start a rash battle with Cao Cao, we will not only not be able to gain any advantage, but we are afraid that we will make wedding clothes for others instead!"
Everyone thought Pang Tong’s words were very reasonable and could not help but nodded. Zhang Fei was very dissatisfied and said angrily: "I can’t say you scholars!" Liu Bei said angrily: "Third brother, don’t mess around! What the military advisor said is to the point, you should be humble and educated!" Zhang Fei curled his lips, looking disapproving.
