Chapter 283: Zhuge Liang's Old Friend
Zhuge Liang respectfully asked Liu Chan to greet Haotian God,
And said that if there is any difficult book in heaven, you can send it to him.
Although he is stupid and stupid, he has always liked to read, hoping to provide a little help to the prince.
If Zhuge Liang is stupid and stupid, there will be no smart people in this world.
can help Liu Chan solve some of the problems of "Haotian", Liu Chan is naturally overjoyed.
Sure enough, what Sister said is right, if there is any difficulty in finding a military advisor, it is always the law of all spirits.
Liu Chan didn't know that Zhuge Liang had roughly guessed his story, and he was still thinking about how to explain everything he had experienced to Zhuge Liang in the past two years.
After thinking about it, he still felt that this matter was quite mysterious, and he was afraid that the military advisor would think that he had committed hysteria.
When the words came to his lips, it became the topic of raising pandas again.
He complained to Zhuge Liang, saying that Haotian liked the iron-eating beast very much,
can be kept in the courtyard and regarded as auspicious, just afraid that it will be laughed at,
There must be people who chew the root of their tongue and say that there are still many people eating grass, and you Liu Chan actually raises iron beasts, which is really too much.
Zhuge Liang smiled and said that this matter was not difficult.
He asked Liu Chan to keep this iron-eating beast in the mansion and take care of it.
It's just that the name of the Iron Eater could be changed slightly.
The son of the world raises iron beasts and is a plaything and wastes food,
But it's not the same when the son raises bears.
Everyone in the Han Dynasty was martial arts, and before the scholars of the Han Dynasty began to worship Tu Fan Xingsan, most of the children of the family had practiced swordsmanship and could engage in simple fighting.
At that time, Liu Chan's relative, Liu Xu, the king of Guangling, once practiced bear fighting, and later became a great skill and could fight bears empty-handed.
It's just that he got away with it later and was slapped to death by a bear.
The son of the world is still martial, raising bears in the courtyard to practice fighting, and being good at holding bears, it is also a very scene to say it.
As for Liu Chan's true intentions.
Hehe, it doesn't matter,
As long as you take care of this little monster who likes to eat bamboo, don't let him really hurt the world.

Deng Ai set off with anticipation and a little bit of confusion, and after a day and night, he finally arrived in Xinye.
Deng Ai is a native of Yiyang in the north of Xinye, and often came to Xinye with his mother to play when he was a child.
He is very familiar with the land.
When Cao Jun went south, he forcibly requisitioned and transferred their whole family to Runan to farm.
It's been 12 years since this parting.
Niinno, I'm back again.
Sima Yi didn't know what means he used, but he won Deng Ai the position of Xinye County Lieutenant, and begged Xu Shu to write a letter to his old friend Shi Tao, asking Shi Tao to take good care of this promising young man.
When Deng Ai entered the city, Xinye was actively preparing for the war.
Chang Diao, a famous general who is very good at fighting and admired by the soldiers, was transferred away, and Chang Diao was replaced by Shi Tao, the captain of the Diannong School-
He was Liu Bei's guest secretary Shi Tao during the Xinye period.
Unlike Xu Shu Zhuge Liang, Shi Tao does not have any loyal feelings for Liu Bei.
He just played well with Zhuge Liang and Xu Shu, both of whom defected to Liu Bei, and he also went to Liu Bei's tent to eat-
After all, he is from Yingchuan, and when he escapes to Xinye, he must first solve his own food problem.
Later, Cao Cao went south on a large scale, Xu Shu was forced to surrender, and Shi Tao took refuge in Cao Cao without thinking about it-
What is this, even Sima Hui voted for Cao Cao at that time, and he didn't see Liu Bei say anything.
Everyone has their own ambitions, and there is no way around it.
Liu Bei or Zhuge Liang have never complained about this, but they just feel that they have lost a talent.
But Guan Yu just doesn't think so.
What Guan Yu looks down on the most are some celebrities who have no ability and like to brag.
Zhuge Liang and Xu Shu have both used their skills to gain Guan Yu's respect,
But Shi Tao didn't.
Guan Yu stubbornly believed that Shi Tao's running away at that time was a betrayal.
He had already sent someone to deliver a letter to Shi Tao, telling him that there were only two ways to choose now-
Either you will directly open the city and surrender, or you will hurry up and run away.
Fight to the death?
Hehe, Xinye Town, you also want to block Guan Yu?
Shi Tao also trembled.
When he was under Liu Bei's account, he was afraid of Guan Yu,
Now that the two armies are facing the enemy, I don't know which tendon is wrong with Cao Pi, so he actually put himself here and cooperated with Niu Jin, who had just been crowned General Yingyang, to guard Xinye.
This combination, no matter how you look at it, doesn't look like waiting to block the opposite combination of Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, Meng Da, Liu Feng, and Shen Tan.
Not to mention that in order to cooperate with the Northern Expedition, Liu Chanjun's famous generals Deng Tong and Ding Li also went north together.
Just repelled Cao Xiu in Shiting, Ma Tan, who was praised as the "God of the Army" by Sun Quan, was also idle, and he was also mixed in Deng Tong's army to join the army.
If the prince is called, it is convenient to go to Hanzhong by water.
Shi Tao even suspected that as long as Guan Yu shouted under the city, the soldiers in the city would tie him up and take him out to give to Guan Yu.
Cao Pi's arrangement is only known to Niu Jin himself.
Niu Jin naturally would not reveal it to Shi Tao.
He told Shi Tao not to be impatient, and not to be so afraid.
"In Jiangnan, we really can't beat Guanzhang, but now it's different."
Niu Jin confidently told Shi Tao that the King of Wei had prepared tens of thousands of cavalry, commanded by the Wei general (for the time being) Cao Hong.
As long as Guan Yu and Zhang Fei dare to come, Cao Hong will immediately lead the army south, and he will definitely be able to defeat Guan Zhang on the plain!
When I chased Liu Bei in Changban Slope, I didn't see Zhang Fei call back and pick Cao Jun.
Shi Tao's legs and stomach couldn't help but turn again and again, and Niu Jin was so confident in his heart, then he was really ready to surrender.
Compare it with the Battle of Nagasaka Slope more than ten years ago?
At that time, Liu Beijun's forces were lonely and weak, and they were vulnerable.
But now Guan Yu's headquarters has at least 30,000 people, Meng Da, Shen Tan, and Liu Feng's troops add up to at least 10,000, and Deng Tong, Ding Li, and Ma Yan's troops have 10,000.
That's an army of 50,000! An army of 50,000!
Liu Bei's battle in Hanzhong only invested seventy or eighty thousand people.
Now there are 50,000 troops in this direction, and Cao Pi still sends himself and Niu Jin to deal with it like no one.
Does this sound like a word?
The generals on the opposite side signed up to say that the former general Guan Yu, the right general Zhang Fei, and the general Shen Tan of Zhengbei, you signed up to say that Yingyang General Niu Jin......
Is it preparing to check Zhang laughing to death?
When Deng Ai arrived, he saw Shi Tao sitting on the ground without saying a word with a constipated face.
Deng Ai respectfully saluted him:
"The last general Deng Ai, see the ...... of the Shixiao School"
"You're laughing fart!"
Shi Tao, who was already in a very unbeautiful mood, was furious, and he was about to scold when he pointed at Deng Ai.
Deng Ai was very aggrieved, and he also knew that his stutter was in trouble, so he quickly knelt on the ground and apologized.
He trembled and handed over the letter, Shi Tao glanced at it patiently,
Seeing that Xu Shu said in the letter that Deng Ai had a stutter, he snorted:
"Get up!"
Nope.
Another stutter came in the crucial battle.
It's better to hurry up and surrender, I heard that Zhang Fei is also there, when the time comes, catch him and plead well, you should be able to escape with your life.
Deng Ai didn't know that Shi Tao's mind was full of thoughts of escaping at this time.
He showed a humble smile at Shi Tao, nodded and said:
"Sima Changshi's destiny is ......"
"Okay, okay," Shi Tao waved his hand impatiently, "I already know, let you be the county lieutenant, right?"
Do you know the duties of the county lieutenant? โ
Deng Ai nodded and didn't dare to speak.
"It's good to know,
Great war is coming, be careful in the city, go! โ
After speaking, he waved his hand vigorously and motioned for Deng Ai to get out of here like a fly.
In fact, Shi Tao's EQ was not so low before.
It's just that he is ready to run away, how can he be in the mood to talk about his colleague feelings with the people sent by the imperial court.
is still a stuttering petty official, I don't know what way I went to meet Sima Yi, and was promoted to be a county lieutenant......
Hmph, I, Shi Tao, hate people who go through the back door the most.
If Deng Ai hadn't been humiliated like this by Shi Tao two days earlier,
He stumbled out, aggrieved and desolate in his heart.
He remembered that Chen Qun had a similar attitude towards him before.
It is only natural for these celebrities to look down on them.
Well, you can't let this kind of thing influence your judgment.
This is a position that the benefactor spent a lot of effort to find for himself.
As long as they can repel Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, Shen Tan, Meng Da, Liu Feng, Ma Yan, Deng Tong, and Ding Li, they will definitely be appreciated and reused by the imperial court.
When the time comes, he will soar into the sky, and let everyone in the world see his ability.
Niu Jin is not in a bad mood like Shi Tao,
He warmly received Deng Ai, invited Deng Ai to take a seat, and served him a cup of tea that is now very popular in Jingzhou.
"A certain surname Niu is named Jinzi Yuanfeng, he is a rough person, if there is something offended, he also hopes that Shi Zai Haihan."
"Come on, come on, try it, this is the recently popular way to drink tea in Xiangyang,
You don't need to add salt to cook, you can drink it directly with boiling water. โ
Niu Jin said as he demonstrated to Deng Ai,
Deng Ai was flattered, but he didn't have such a good mood as Niu Jin.
Taking the teacup, Deng Ai forcibly organized the language, trying not to stutter authentically:
"At present, the enemy is present, I wonder if the general has the idea of defending the city?"
Niu Jin raised his eyebrows, and his face was a little embarrassed.
After a long time, he gently blew the foam in the teacup and said slowly:
"To keep is to keep it,
Back then, General Cao Zixiao and I were trapped in Jiangling City for a year, and we didn't stop Zhou Lang's siege?
Guan Zhang is old, Shen Tan is brave, Ma Jian and others are all unplanned, how to break my city?
Taxi and peace of mind. โ
So confident?
To be honest, Deng Ai wanted to run away.
The only barrier in Shinno is two small rivers.
Now it is almost a dry season, and it is easy for the Han army in the south to fight over.
If Niu Jin actively builds city defenses to deal with it, there is still a chance to defend it.
If Niu Jin is so arrogant and arrogant, I am afraid that before Cao Hong's reinforcements arrive, Xinye will fall into the hands of the enemy.
"General, the subordinate thinks that he should be ......"
Deng Ai was nervous, and he stammered again.
With this stammer, he immediately saw the natural ridicule on Niu Jin's face.
Except for my benefactor, I am afraid that everyone in this world will laugh at me......
"Shi Zaixiu wants to worry," Niu Jin smiled indifferently,
"I have arranged all the things here,
As for why Zhong Da ordered you to come, he also took a fancy to your ability-
This county lieutenant is in charge of the security and arrest of thieves in the city, and you just need to beware of the spies of the thief army and the collusion between the lawless and thieves in the city. โ
This is the county lieutenant's job, Deng Ai can only nod silently.
"One more thing, I heard that Shi Zai was recommended by Ma Yan,
I don't know what kind of character Shi Zai thinks Ma Youchang is? โ
