Mythical Version of the Three Kingdoms

Liu Ye's words made everyone roll their eyes, they lazily reasoned with Liu Ye, those who can be called wise men are all bold and unrestrained, even Jia Xu, who is known for protecting himself, is not without courage . ,

Naturally, the reason why everyone rolled their eyes was that Liu Ye was too boring. No one in the room knew about this kind of thing, but there really was no one who said it so openly. Carrying the tripod, everyone else gets out of the way and stands aside, I want to be the new pillar!

"Wang Ba Zhiye, I think we have made a high profile this time, and now I guess other people have judged our true strength, even though I really want to hide it." Chen Xi took the conversation helplessly and said, what is Wang Ba Zhiye? Yes, try not to be ostentatious if you can.

"With all of our strength, even if it is head-to-head, we can fight one and a half Yuan Shao. It is a surprise. As before, we can fight more than two Yuan Shao. I have to say that the leader is indeed a character." Lu Su silently He opened his mouth and said that they were indeed stronger than Yuan Shao, but they were not strong enough to make Yuan Shao despair, after all, the time to rise was too short.

"That's it." Li You also nodded, "Zi Chuan is unwilling to confront the tough, and has been pulling the front line towards the completion of the battle. Overall, the advantages outweigh the disadvantages. Although this time it is exposed in front of the world, but if the Yuan Shao's war potential has been revealed, and Jizhou alone has a population of 7 million..."

"After the fight, we are finished, so the purpose of this battle is not how many times we have won, but only one point, whether we have killed Yuan Shao before Yuan Shao awakened. It can be said that the previous battle. Even if Tian Feng Ju Shou, Yan Liang, Wen Chou and Ju Yi all died in battle. As long as Yuan Shao returns, our victory will be meaningless in essence!" Guo Jia replied casually.

"That's it." Chen Xi said helplessly, "The most important thing in this battle is to kill Yuan Shao. As long as Yuan Shao is alive, our subsequent wars will wait for three to five years."

Chen Xi wasn't joking at all, the most important thing in this battle was to kill Yuan Shao, if he didn't kill Yuan Shao, the disastrous defeat in this battle would only make Yuan Shao wake up more thoroughly, so he would not be able to defeat Liu Bei. It is also enough to drag Liu Bei to feel sick.

More importantly, what Chen Xi needs in his heart is a strong man, not a tenacious Central Plains. He has the name of a strong man, but he does not have the strength to subdue the Quartet, so he must maintain the vitality of the Central Plains.

This is why Chen Xi pushed Hua Tuo to disclose the prescription for treating typhoid fever. If Hua Tuo only promoted it spontaneously, it would probably spread throughout the entire Taishan County by now. Only with official strength can everyone in the world hear Hua Tuo's voice. !

This is also the reason why Chen Xi sometimes asks Cookie to show some farming methods that can increase food production to the princes of the world!

To be honest, Chen Xi wasn't afraid of their other princes causing trouble to them at all. The value of Jia Xu, Li You, Guo Jia, Lu Su, Liu Ye, Fa Zheng, Xu Shu, Zhuge Liang and others is to ensure that they can implement every step of the strategy smoothly under any circumstances!

How many people can die in the era of cold weapons? Yuan Shao ruled a population of just over ten million, and in the battle that determined Yuan Shao's fate, 50,000 people died in the battle, and the troops invested by both sides were only 250,000 to 60,000 in the end.

A death rate of less than two percent. However, the death rate of the plague is as high as seven or eight out of ten, and the death rate of famine is as high as one third. If Chen Xi's great war falls into a stalemate, the number of deaths will increase exponentially. But would Chen Xi allow that to happen?

It can be said that Chen Xi's definition of the battle between Yuan and Liu from the very beginning was to kill Yuan Shao in the first battle. Only in this way can the loss of the Central Plains be minimized!

Pinch out the most serious typhoid fever that is currently reducing the population. In addition, there is no major famine in Jizhou itself. To avoid population loss, Chen Xi only needs to do one thing to defeat Yuan Shao's army as quickly as possible and kill Yuan Shao!

The people at the bottom should not be hurt by the unification of the world, but the people at the bottom are the ones who hurt the most. This is what makes Chen Xi most helpless. Therefore, if he wants to have an epic project before the unification of the world, then the population will become Chen Xi The most important thing to guarantee.

In other words, the population of the Han Dynasty was large enough, and there were no major disasters. According to the statistics of Jian Yong not long ago, the population of the entire Han Dynasty is still about 50 million. Of course, if you look at the data in 184, then Compared with the current data, 10 million people have actually evaporated...

But generally speaking, the population of the Han Dynasty is much larger than that of Yang Guang's period, and it is more than twice that of the early Tang Dynasty. More importantly, Chen Xi never said that he would wait for the world to reunite before embarking on those epic projects. In Hebei, Chen Xi is about to start construction of water conservancy network!

The speed of construction in the war years is always much faster than that in the peace phase after the reunification of the world. People who are precarious will not think too much, but only when they have time and money will they think about those things that are of little real significance. Things, thus giving rise to too many incidents.

It didn’t take much time for Fuchai, the king of Wu, to dig Hangou for 300 miles in Qi State. You must know that this was the earliest beginning of the Grand Canal. Compared with Wu State’s little war potential, Huaibei has already been swallowed up, although Liu Bei has not had time to absorb it. , the population under the rule has approached 15 million!

After swallowing Jizhou, even if there is a little indigestion, it will steadily cross the population of 20 million. At this time, it is not very difficult to dredge water conservancy and access the canal. Although Chen Xi is not very reliable in war, but in construction He's still very capable.

After all, even if he went to the Grand Canal, Chen Xi never said that he really wanted to connect Chang'an, Luoyang, Yecheng, Guantao, Zhuojun, Linzi, Jianye and other places. Most of these places are not yet in Liu Bei's hands!

In other words, although there are many places to be repaired now, the most difficult Guangtong Canal is the connection between Chang'an and the Yellow River, and the Tongji Canal, that is, the connection between Luoyang and the Yellow River and the Huai River, and the East Zhejiang Grand Canal. These three sections are the most difficult. , the part that is also long enough is not in Liu Bei's territory...

At that time, the Grand Canal that Chen Xixiu built will be ridiculed to those who have seen the original version. It is a big bare pole without a single branch, which is why Mi Zhu is so enthusiastic!

Mi Zhu has never seen the genuine Grand Canal, but the money minted by the Han Dynasty in a year is probably not so much...

All in all, for the current Chen Xi, after Yuan Shao fell, it became much easier to preserve the vitality of the Central Plains. The rest is to go down step by step, digesting Yuzhou and the upcoming Jizhou first! (to be continued...)
