The most powerful general in the Three Kingdoms

Zhou Cheng was in the courtyard, shooting arrows with his bow, and Zhen Mi was accompanying him.

Because Xun Cai was pregnant, Zhou Cheng's time with them was significantly reduced.

In order to allow them to have more time to serve Zhou Cheng, Zhou Cheng also allowed them to accompany him in martial arts training and study.

For example, Cai Yan, Tang Ji and others often accompanied Zhou Cheng to study.

Zhen Mi and others accompanied Zhou Cheng to practice martial arts.

Every time after studying or practicing martial arts, Zhou Cheng would take a rest, eat hot pot, barbecue, or drink tea, desserts, etc.

At this time, Tian Chou came over.

Zhou Cheng put down the bow in his hand.

The guard on the side took the bow.

Tian Chou held the blueprint in his hand and said to Zhou Cheng:"My lord, the expansion and reconstruction plan of Zhenliao City has been completed. Please take a look."

Zhou Cheng nodded.

Similar to Yuan Shu, Zhou Cheng never tired of large-scale construction projects.

From the earliest 'earth buildings' to the new fortresses and new cities now.

Zhou Cheng's pursuit of"military" architecture ranked first among the princes in the world.

Zhenliaocheng has a clear position in Zhou Cheng's heart.

First of all, strategically, Zhenliao City is located outside Liaodong. With it, it can control the land outside Liaodong and be far away from the princes of the Central Plains. It has"security" and can be invincible.

Secondly, there is food. There is fertile black land here, suitable for farming. It is also connected to the grassland and has vast pastures, suitable for the development of animal husbandry. With it, it can ensure sufficient food and grass.

Finally, this place is far away from the Central Plains, and new systems can be established in new lands and worship martial arts.

Zhou Cheng took the drawing, looked at the expanded city wall and the newly added defensive equipment on the city wall, and said,"This is how a strong city should be."

Tian Chou said,"If it is built according to this drawing, it will take ten years. Two hundred thousand civilians are recruited, and there is countless money and food. The lord is determined to conquer the world, so there is no need to rush."

​​Zhou Cheng wanted to build a strong city outside Liaodong that could stand firm and completely control this land.

Tian Chou naturally supports this.

As long as the Han people can settle down in this land and recuperate, foreigners will no longer be able to invade it wantonly.

Even within a few decades, this land will finally belong to the Han people.

But just like Qin Shihuang's city, this requires a lot of manpower and material resources.

For the princes who aspire to dominate the world, Zhou Cheng should probably take it easy first.

After all, striving for world supremacy is the most important thing.

Zhou Cheng handed the drawings to Tian Chou and said,"Zitai, give it to me when the time is right."

Tian Chou nodded, then took out a memorial and handed it to Zhou Cheng:"Lord, this is where Exploration results."

Exploration of minerals, water sources, and geological structures.

It is also one of the tasks Tian Chou is responsible for.

Zhou Cheng said:"Well, if you need money or food, you can go to Wen Qian."

Now in Zhou Cheng's small court, only Tian Chou is the least short of money. As long as Tian Chou needs money, except for the expenses of the army, everything else can be done. Tian Chou takes priority

"Thank you, my lord."Tian Chou thanked him. Being able to meet Zhou Cheng and gain Zhou Cheng's trust was something he had never thought of in his life.

Although Zhou Cheng was once a rebel, Zhou Cheng understood construction and the importance of people's livelihood..

Build water conservancy, lay roads, erect bridges, develop minerals, encourage and reward production, etc. Among the princes in the world, who can compare with Zhou Cheng?

The most important thing is trust.

And Zhou Cheng is not very interested in his own 'enjoyment'. Care.

He is not in a hurry to enter Luoyang, let alone build a palace, but is actively developing in the military

……

AD 203, the beginning of the new year.

Sun Ce recruited 30,000 troops from all over Yangzhou, and also transferred 20,000 troops from Jiangdong, making a combined force of 50,000, preparing to attack Jingzhou.

This time it was the land and water armies, advancing hand in hand.

After Liu Biao learned about it, he sent a letter to recruit 30,000 troops to assist him, and on the other hand, he sent someone to invite Liu Bei.

Liu Biao knew that Liu Bei would definitely come to help.

Sure enough, when Liu Bei learned that Sun Ce was going to attack Xiangyang, he immediately led 15,000 troops and personally led the army to support Liu Biao.

However, Zhuge Liang felt that something was fishy.

How could Sun Ce leave Liu Bei alone and attack Liu Biao directly?

In this battle, not only Zhou Yu was not very supportive, but Sun Quan was not very supportive either.

Although Zhou Yu made a battle plan, he felt too anxious.

Sun Quan believed that Jiangdong's money and food could not support continuous operations.

In addition, Yangzhou was in decline, people's livelihood was difficult, and the wealthy families were not dependent. Therefore, it was better to cease the war for a year and recuperate. _Feilu reminds you: three things about reading-
