The most powerful general in the Three Kingdoms
Chapter 698
Zhou Cheng knew that his reform of the education system and talent selection system would definitely cause a storm.
But so what?
Zhou Cheng now has great trust in his 'basic base'.
Outside Qingzhou, Jizhou, Youzhou, Liaodong, and the grasslands outside the Great Wall.
The population, food, minerals and other resources in these territories are enough for Zhou Cheng to promote the development of the new system.
Currently, Cao Cao is still at war with Liu Zhang.
Although Cao Cao is very tenacious, he only relies on the territory of Brazil County and wants to threaten Zhou Cheng? That's just a fool's errand.
What's more, Cao Cao was in trouble both internally and externally.
The wealthy families in Brazil County were not attached to Cao Cao for the time being, and at the same time, they were attacked by Liu Yan.
Fazheng and Zhang Ren were not decorations, and they caused a lot of trouble to Cao Cao.
Liu Fang also has a headache now, which is his own internal problems.
Liu Biao's successor has not been announced for a long time.
Liu Qi was the eldest son Liu Biao liked, and Liu Cong was supported by Cai Mao and others.
At the same time, Liu Biao was also worried that Cai Mao and others would harm Liu Qi.
The dispute over the heir made Liu Biao very worried.
As for Sun Ce, Sun Ce now occupies the land of Yangzhou and Jiangdong.
However, due to the war in Yangzhou, people were displaced. At the same time, the wealthy families in Yangzhou did not have a high sense of identity with Sun Ce and did not rely on Sun Ce.
This caused Sun Ce to have problems in recruiting troops and food.
Coupled with the displacement of the refugees, the money and food in Yangzhou will not only fail to make Sun Ce stronger in the short term, but will also hold back Jiangdong.
To strive for world hegemony, it is not only necessary for soldiers to be good at fighting, but also requires internal management.
If a war is going on at the front, but there are riots in the rear, resulting in a shortage of food and grass, and the fall of the rear, then there will be no way to fight.
What Zhou Cheng has to do now is to deal with the problems of his own territory and make the final plan for unifying the world.
First, Zhou Cheng wanted to stabilize Liangzhou and other places.
The Liangzhou Rebellion raged on for hundreds of years.
Zhou will feel at ease unless the problem in Liangzhou is completely solved.
Although Zhang Ji's appearance in Liangzhou was very good, the new population moving into Liangzhou was gradually changing the face of Liangzhou.
However, referring to Cao Cao in history, Ma Teng is Cao Cao's henchman.
Ma Teng is still relatively low-key now, at least Ma Teng has no thoughts of rebellion.
Of course, this is because Taishi Ci stationed 50,000 troops in Chencang.
Without these 50,000 garrison troops, Ma Teng would not be so"well-behaved".
However, Ma Teng in history rebelled at the instigation of Liu Xie and others. Now Liu Xie and others are also restless in Luoyang.
Zhou Cheng still needs to be wary of Ma Teng. Of course, if the time comes, eradicating Ma Teng is not impossible.
Just by destroying Ma Teng, Ma Chao will definitely rebel, and there may be one less powerful general in the future.
We can only hope that Ma Teng can understand current affairs and not get too close to Liu Xie and others.
Except for Ma Teng, the brothers Yuan Tan and Yuan Xi in Yongzhou have also been keeping to themselves in recent years.
Serve as their governor honestly, but they also have a certain number of soldiers and horses in their hands.
When Zhou Cheng was strong, Yuan Tan and Yuan Xi might not dare to move. If they were allowed to wait for the opportunity, they might not be safe.
That's how people are.
After gaining power, he became suspicious and fearful of the people around him.
Zhou Cheng was no exception, especially after Zhou Qi was born, Zhou Cheng became more focused on consolidating his power.
As for Zhang Yan in Bingzhou, Zhang Yan and the Black Mountain Army were able to follow Zhou Cheng in the battle.
However, because Zhou Cheng never satisfied Zhang Yan's need for food, Zhang Yan's dissatisfaction with Zhou Cheng also deepened day by day.
However, Zhang Yan and the Black Mountain Army were always a mob.
Even though the current Black Mountain Army still has hundreds of thousands of people, it is still easy for Zhou Cheng to disintegrate the Black Mountain Army first.
First of all, as long as the Black Mountain Army is divided, the various internal leaders will turn their backs on Zhang Yan.
Then, as long as one good general is sent and 100,000 elite soldiers are sent, the Montenegrin army can be defeated.
However, the problems of the Montenegrin Army are only superficial.
The bigger problem is the coming of the Ice Age.
The drought in the grasslands caused by the Ice Age will cause alien races to migrate to the Central Plains. During the migration process, conflicts will inevitably occur and wars will break out.
And this kind of conflict will continue and will only continue to intensify.
This is why Zhou Cheng kept Zhang Yan temporarily.
Although the Black Mountain Army is a ragtag group, it is still large in number and can temporarily guard Bingzhou for Zhou Cheng and intimidate the foreign tribes.
Otherwise, Zhou Cheng would have to deploy at least 50,000 elite cavalry to stay in Bingzhou to guard against foreigners.
However, Zhou Cheng also understood that treating the symptoms rather than the root cause would still have to completely deal with the foreign races in the future, but only after unifying the world. _Feilu reminds you: three things about reading-
