Seeing his beloved son growing day by day, Liu Chan was extremely happy. The worries in his heart were only entangled when no one was around, but there was no better way. Could it be that the growth of his own son was stifled because of what might happen?

Mr. Qingcheng is not a simple person. He saved himself, but he also left behind a more troublesome problem!

Xiangyang was in a state of recovery after the war. King Xiang Liu Dong actually grew up under Liu Chan's nose in the past three years. Liu Chan, who thought he was from later generations, watched his beloved son cultivate his own power step by step, but did not stop him.

There are three battalions of troops in the Xiangwang Mansion, each battalion of 5,000, totaling 15,000 people. This is a training process by Liu Dong, Xiangyang.

With Liu Dong's cavalry, one of the battalions of cavalry was not special than the cavalry troops of Shu Han. The only difference was that these cavalry were selected by infantry who had been through many battles. The kung fu was pure and the infantry battle was also an expert. Those who could be selected were elites in the army. It took three years to form a total of 5,000 people. Their combat power was self-evident.

Such strange ideas are somewhat similar to the concepts of the special combat forces in later generations, at least they are products beyond this era. Some Chinese and Chinese civil servants in the court were puzzled by this move, and some gave thumbs up, and Liu Chan was even more excited.

I didn't expect this way of forming troops, but my son took the lead. It seemed that there was someone who succeeded him.

When Liu Chan arrived in Xinye, it was noon the next day. When he heard that his beloved son had taken Xinye down with no effort, his father was filled with joy.

"How is the battle situation in various places?" After appeased He Zhen and other surrendered generals, Liu Chan took the next strategy.

He Panchao said: "The general Chen Bing under Wancheng and defeated the Wei army in several consecutive battles. The Wei people continued to support from Xuchang, and it is unlikely that there will be a victory or defeat for the moment."

Liu Chan nodded and said, "Du Yuankai is not an ordinary person. It is really difficult for the general to deal with the Wei army in Xuchang and Wancheng at the same time."

He Pan continued: "General Luo and General Guan were short of troops and could only threaten Wancheng on the flanks. It is said that reinforcements from all over the country will take half a month to arrive..."

"Oh? I have already ordered the prince to mobilize reinforcements to advance quickly, why is it so slow?" Liu Chan frowned, and his heart couldn't help but skip a beat. The northern expedition of the whole country was a holy order issued by himself. The prince Liu Chen, who stayed in Sichuan, was responsible for mobilizing the troops in Sichuan to continue to support the front line. It would be understandable if it was a day or two late, but it would be too much to delay for half a month.

Wen Li said on the side: "The merchant ships in Yinzhou were attacked by unknown ships, and some people from outside the region who came from somewhere frequently harassed the coast. The local army was unfavorable for war, so he asked to help Sichuan. His Royal Highness the Prince dispatched troops south nearby, so the troops heading north were delayed."

Yinzhou has been included in the territory of Shu Han for many years, and has opened trade doors with overseas countries, and has exchanged resources. The business is extremely developed. However, the locals have experienced wars and their population has dropped sharply, and their defense forces rely on the troops in Nanzhong and Sichuan. After Shu Han repeatedly made northern expeditions, Yinzhou also responded positively and sent troops to support them.

After a series of wars, the long journey and the unacceptable land and land, one or two returned ones did not have much impact on the economy of Yinzhou, but it suffered considerable losses to the military power of Yinzhou. This Northern Expedition did not mobilize Yinzhou troops to participate in the war. Who would have thought that the frequent thieves in the seas of Yinzhou were robbed and traded merchant ships, making a fortune, and it was very difficult to come and go.

The robbers on the sea have not been solved yet, and these pirates are even more eager to get in. They frequently log in to the coastal areas, burn, kill, rob, and rob the people, and do all kinds of evil.

Yinzhou's military strength was originally insufficient, and its combat effectiveness was far inferior to that of the barbarians in the South and the regular Han army in Sichuan. They failed to encircle and suppress the enemy several times, but were killed and defeated, so they had to ask for help from Sichuan.

"Hmph, the thieves outside the territory dare to harass my border!" Liu Chan was quite angry with a cold snorkeling. For the current Shu Han, the focus was to defeat the Wei Kingdom to seize the Central Plains and restore the territory of the Han Dynasty. But compared with the original territory of the Han Dynasty, Shu Han had occupied Yinzhou in central and southern Sichuan, and frequently mobilized a small number of elite troops from Jiangnan to continue to plunder the land.

All the countries in the south are small and small, and many lands and mountains are not even developed or occupied. The Shu army gradually eroded these lands and resources, and eventually the boundaries of Shu Han in the south will extend to the edge of the sea and intersect with the endless sea.

These lands may take many years to master and develop, but the benefits brought by the other side of the ocean are definitely worth the effort. The prosperity of business can promote the vigorous development of Shu Han's national strength, but the hidden dangers brought by huge benefits are also quite large.

Only those countries and people of all kinds outside the territory, overseas, ignore how powerful your dynasty is. As long as there is interests and as long as your border does not have enough force to deter you, then plunder and rob. These pirates and thieves are constantly harassing and eroding, which is quite a threat to the commercial strikes of Shu Han.

The sea routes are smooth and the security of the public are the only magic weapon to ensure business stability. Otherwise, even if there are desperate people who are willing to run around for profit, more people may be intimidated. Just doing business, it is not worthwhile to spend their lives.

Wen Li bowed and said, "Although such a slut is not worthy of fear, it is enough to threaten domestic development. It is understandable that the prince has already taken this precaution."

Seeing this, He Pan shook his head slightly and said, "The Northern Expedition is related to the hegemony of our great Han Dynasty. Therefore, small matters delay Your Majesty's great cause. I think it is inappropriate."

Wen Li and He Pan are two important officials around Liu Chan, and they are always with Liu Chan. Their views and opinions on things complement each other, but they rarely have any opposition. Now the two of them are facing each other, which makes Liu Chan surprised and feel a trace of unusual atmosphere.

"Oh, no one can share my worries after Wen Ran!" Liu Chan felt a little painful in his heart when he thought of the old man Yang Xi.

Among the few people who helped him take charge of the government again back then, Xiahou Ba had long died, Yang Xi and Zhang Shao also died of illness one after another. Only he and Jiang Wei were still there, but he was also a hero...

With Yang Xi in the south, everything went smoothly in both the matters in Yinzhou and the government affairs in Nanzhong. In recent years, Shu Han has produced many talents, but there is no one who can achieve the quality and sophistication of Yang Xi and is familiar with the habits of barbarians and Yinzhou people!

"Southern Central supports the military and national army for many years, and it is difficult to have the strength to go south; the people in Yinzhou have just passed the king's transformation and have not yet been formed and cannot be reused. If you want to stabilize the border, you must send more personnel from Sichuan. There is no other way." Wen Li glanced at He Pan and made his own analysis, but indirectly supported the decision of Prince Liu Zhan.

He Pan thought for a moment and said, "General Luo has no action for the time being, and Your Majesty's plan to attack Xuchang from Xinye may be temporarily stranded. Du Yuankai and Sima Yan are not opponents of the general, but it will inevitably change over time. Your Majesty should make a decision."

Hearing the two of them, Liu Chan thought for a moment and turned to ask Yang Hu and Liu Dong's views. Yang Hu closed his eyes for a long time and said slowly: "The general sent troops from Wuguan, and the power of thunder and thunder should not be seriously injured. However, Sima Yan sent troops from Xuchang, which inevitably endangers the general's future. The general was concerned about the future, but he might not have enough power to break through Wancheng."

"Your Majesty's army is here, and you can divide your troops into three groups. In this way, the Wei people will be frightened and will definitely abandon Wancheng and surrender Xuchang!"

The words were astonishing, and Liu Chan was overjoyed when he heard this, "General Yang quickly explain it in detail, how can he force the Wei army to retreat!?"

Yang Hu nodded and said, "Your Majesty personally took charge of Xinye and threatened Xuchang at all times, so that Xuchang's army would not dare to easily enter the battlefield in Wancheng. This is the first way."

"At the end, the general led his troops into Jiangxia to help General Wenyang occupy the entire territory of Jiangxia, and then divided the troops into the east and west, the Wei army would be frightened."

"Your Majesty chooses a good general to lead troops into Wancheng, assist the general to restrain the Wei army and maintain the situation. These are three routes. With these three routes, only Wancheng remains in the southern stronghold of the Wei people. If they defend, it will be an isolated city. If they retreat, your Majesty can get all the land in Nanyang!"

The three men and horses each took the needs. Liu Chan smiled and said, "I got Uncle Yang, like a tiger with wings. This strategy is steady and won my heart!"
