Liu Kuan got the order to seek talents, read silently repeatedly, and the more he read, the more he admired Cao Cao's eloquence and mind, this is the real talent reduction!

"Gongsun Kanglai of the speed biography room!" Liu Kuan ordered to his escort Liu Lei.

Soon Gongsun Kang arrived, "Master Hou, what do you command?" "Gongsun Kang is in the office of the Liu Mansion, and he is already a lot more capable.

Liu Kuan handed over the order to Gongsun Kang, and Gongsun Kang sighed after looking at it: "Hou Ye's order to seek talent is not much more than Qin Xiaogong's writing!" ”

"Mr. Gongsun immediately sent this order to all states and counties, and at the same time drafted a document to publish the sincerity of my Youzhou craftsmen and doctors, and widely spread the new policy of recruiting displaced people in Youzhou. I have a hundred industries to be lifted in Youzhou, and people who seek talent and ability are like the hope of a long drought. In the future, Mr. Gong was responsible for recruiting talented people, and most of the affairs of the displaced people were coordinated with General Xian Yuyin, and Mr. Gongsun Gong was responsible for the implementation of the law of drying salt in the salt fields. Mr. Ling Tianchou is responsible for the exploration of iron smelting and coal. After Liu Kuan's order, Gongsun Kang was ordered to retire.

In this era, salt was mainly produced from mines, and salt was also produced along the coast, but it was mainly boiled in utensils, which consumed firewood and produced very little. Liu

Zhen has already told Tian Chou the method of drying salt in the salt field, and the salt in the salt field is coarse salt, and the coarse salt contains impurities such as magnesium chloride, but Liu Kuan's chemical knowledge is limited, and he does not know how to decompose, and he cannot get fine salt, but the method of drying salt in the salt field can greatly increase the yield of coarse salt is a major breakthrough.

The salt drying method in the salt field was invented by the salt people of Haifeng, Shandong Province in the Ming Dynasty.

The salt pan is generally divided into two parts, the evaporation pond and the crystallization pond. First introduce seawater into the evaporation pond, after the sun evaporates the water to a certain extent, and then introduce the crystallization pool, continue to sunshine, the seawater will become a saturated solution of salt, and then the salt will gradually precipitate to get the common coarse salt in later generations. This old, low-tech method has been used for a long time.

As for iron smelting, Liu Kuan didn't know much about it. It's just that I have seen the saying of double-liquid quenching in the novels of later generations, quenching should be water first and then oil, whatever, leave it to the craftsmen below to explore, or believe in the ingenuity of the craftsmen, Liu Kuanxin said.

If the two-liquid quenching method is successful, it will undoubtedly be a major progress in the iron smelting industry, and to obtain high-quality iron, it will undoubtedly be a scientific and technological explosion for the armed army. As for the saddles and horse pedals that Liu Tong said, Liu Kuan's guards have already been equipped.

There are two flowers, one on each branch.

Shi Ah saw Wang Ling'er leave that day, so he chased after him, and he didn't find any trace of him all the way, and he searched in Youzhou to no avail, feeling that he had not completed the task assigned by Zhang Lu, and he had no face to hold the double sword, so he rushed to Guanzi City, and found Zhang Wei and Zhang Zheng, who were engaged in Gongsun Zhan's account, and handed over the male and female evil sword to the two.

After the incident, he continued to look for Wang Ling'er, but Shi Ah returned to Luoyang and didn't see Wang Ling'er go back, so he returned to Jizhou and Yanzhou to continue the search.

One day, it was rumored in the rivers and lakes that the Qingzhou Army Shenggu was profound, and her martial arts were strong, and Shi Ah suspected that Shenggu was Wang Ling'er, a young woman who knew Taoism and martial arts in this era, after all, she was rare, so she went to recognize her.

After meeting, Shi Ah persuaded Wang Ling'er to return to Luoyang, but Wang Ling'er was reluctant to leave the Qingzhou Army. Shi A had to accompany Wang Ling'er to stay in the Qingzhou Army, and teach the Qingzhou Army martial arts and the methods of battle in his spare time. At present, the Qingzhou Army is already a major force in the remnants of the Yellow Turban along with the Montenegrin Army.

After Zhang Jiao's soldiers were defeated and died, there were only three large-scale Yellow Turban Army, Qingxu Division, Chu Yan Division, and Zhang Niujiao Division.

In the second year of Zhongping (185), after Zhang Niujiao gathered people to revolt, he joined forces with Chu Yan, a Zhending person. Chu Yan elected Zhang Niujiao as the leader, marched into the army to attack the gall Tao, Zhang Niujiao was shot by a stray arrow, before dying, ordered his subordinates to respect Chu Yan as the leader, Chu Yan was grateful for the grace of Zhang Niujiao, recognized Zhang Jiao as his father-in-law, and changed his name to Zhang Yan. Zhang Yan saw that the future of the Yellow Turban Army was not ideal, so he changed his name to the Black Mountain Army, leading more than 500,000 soldiers.

Shi A has been in the Qingzhou army for a long time, so he gave birth to the idea of revenge against Liu Kuan and cleaning up the portal for the ancestral court, imagining that he can get the male and female swords, and combine the swords with his junior sister to enjoy the rivers and lakes. Shi Ah thought, the people of the ancestral court can't compete with the army in Youzhou, and it is undoubtedly a fool's dream to complete the task assigned by the ancestral court, and now he and Wang Ling'er control the army, if Zhang Wei and Zhang Wei say that Gongsun Zan also wants to get rid of Liu Yu's father and son, he said that he will move the Black Mountain Army, and the three parties will attack Youzhou and capture Liu Yu's father and son, and the ancestral court will also have the technique at your fingertips.

Shi A traveled back and forth between Guanzi City and Montenegro to make an appointment.

Since the battle of Guanzi City, Gongsun Zhan's subordinates have been seriously injured, and they have been taken away from Liu Yu's father and son, and they have been restrained everywhere, and they have always held a grudge. In addition, Gongsun Zhan has always advocated conquest against the Biansai tribes, and was extremely dissatisfied with the ethnic policy of Liu Yu's father and son, Huairou, coupled with the lack of supply of grain, grass and soldiers, so he continued to plunder the Xianbei and Wuhuan tribes in the east to obtain supplies and expand his power. The envoys sent by various ethnic groups and tribes to meet Liu Yu were detained, blocked, and even assassinated, and the rewards given by Liu Yu to various ministries were robbed.

Recently, I learned that Liu Yu's father and son vigorously reorganized the army, and under the instigation and instigation of Zhang Wei, Zhang Zhen's brothers and Shi A, they attacked Yuyang after Han Dang led the Yuyang army to Changchun.

After capturing Yuyang, he was driven away by the army led by Pingtian Yu in the right north, and Gongsun Zan saw that Xiangping Gongsun Du led the troops to conquer the rebellious tribes of Wuhuan outside, and Xiangping was empty, so he led the army to run long distances and besieged Xiangping.

Liu Bei, a young friend of Gongsun Zhan, studied under Lu Zhi. After Gongsun Chan besieged the city, he persuaded Liu Bei, who stayed behind, day and night, and Liu Bei's subordinates only had more than 1,000 soldiers defending the city led by Guan Yu, and Gongsun Chan surrendered without hope of defending the city.

Soon, without waiting for Gongsun Chan to finish resting, Yan Rou and Tian Yu, who followed behind, each led an army of 10,000 to besiege Gongsun Chan and Liu Bei in Xiangping City.

But he said that Shi A was in Zhang Yan's camp, "General Zhang, that Liu Yu is a famous executioner for me and my Yellow Turban Army, and he spared no effort to deal with my Yellow Turban Army when he was in Ganling Kingdom." Today's capital pavilion waits for the army, and soon has the whole territory of Youzhou, the general can avenge the general's father's revenge, and the day of success can be sealed to worship the general, isn't it the best of both worlds? After hearing this, Zhang Yan raised his glass to persuade him to drink, and his eyes signaled to the general Du Chang.

Du Chang raised his glass and stood up, and said to Shi A: "Today, the rest of the Yellow Turbans, only my Black Mountain Army and Qingzhou Army are left, if we still can't act in unison, they will inevitably be broken by the officers and soldiers." I didn't just suggest that I, Zhang Dashuai, marry Shenggu, and the two armies will join forces together, and the great cause of the great virtuous teacher can be accomplished! ”

When Shi A heard this, he was furious in his heart. How could he be in the Montenegrin army, Gongsun Zhan was about to raise troops, so he held back his anger and said: "The general is in the prime of life, and the holy aunt is in the boudoir, and it is not impossible, if you attack Youzhou and kill Liu Yu's father and son, my Qingzhou army is only General Zhang's horse!" ”

Zhang Yan and others should be Shi A's promise, so they made an appointment with Shi A to start an army. Each of them raised 30,000 cavalry infantry, a total of 60,000 troops, and came to Youzhou through Bohai and Zhangwu.

However, it was said that Liu Yu and Liu Kuan had been busy with ethnic policies and internal affairs, and one day, Qi Zhou listened to Liu Kuan's suggestion to form a team of secret agents to report that Gongsun Chan wanted to rebel, and the Montenegrin Army and the Qingzhou Army came from the south.

Liu Kuan raised the account, ordered Tian Yu and Yan Rou to gather troops and horses, rushed to Yuyang, and led Xian Yufu, Wuqiu Jian, Kebineng, Budu Gentong infantry, and cavalry each with 20,000 troops to dominate the county.

Liu Kuan's army assembled and set off for Baxian on the same day. A few days later, he arrived in Baxian County, and Liu Kuan sent Liu Dian to lead 5,000 troops into the county seat of Baxian County to help the county soldiers defend the city. The army was encamped in the southwest of the city, and the county seat was a horn of each other.

One day, the scouts came to report that two enemy troops had arrived from the south and southwest, both of which were twenty miles away.

Xian Yufu suggested to Liu Kuan: "Master Hou, the two thieves have diverged and have not yet communicated and coordinated, so you can send cavalry to take advantage of their unpreparedness to attack and kill all the way, fall their sharpness and hurt their edge." ”

Liu Kuan then ordered Wuqiu Jian to lead 5,000 infantry, Kebineng to lead 5,000 cavalry to feint and attack the enemy army on the left from the south, and Xian Yufu and Budugen led 10,000 cavalry to attack the enemy from the southwest on the right with flat terrain, and sat in the camp himself.

However, it was said that Kebineng's cavalry came and went like the wind, and rushed directly towards Wang Ling'er and Shi Ayi. The Qingzhou army had not yet set up camp, and saw the cavalry coming overwhelmingly from afar, and they retreated to the high ground one after another, defending according to the situation.

Seeing the flags waving in the distance, the infantry of Wuqiujian's brigade was cruising in the distance, Wang Ling'er was cautious and had no actual combat experience, so he sent someone to Zhang Yanbu for help. But when he saw that Kebineng did not attack, he stationed on the hillside.
