Yuan, the place where Liu fought in the past. Friendly reminder: If you like the novel, please read the latest chapter on the show

Ever since his uncle mentioned it, Liu has been thinking about it, trying to find a suitable foundation for greater development in the future.

The land of Sihong was excluded by Liu first.

The land of Jiangnan does not want to be as rich and prosperous as later generations. The population is sparse, and many places are still wild places, and there are many people in Baiyuefan. In my memory, the South really began to be in turmoil. A large number of northern scholars migrated to the south with the Western Jin Dynasty, bringing not only a large number of people to the south, but also many advanced civilizations and technologies. After the chaos of China, the south can be regarded as prosperous.

Then it lasted for hundreds of years, and Fang created a Zhu wasteland that unified the world from the south to the north.

Therefore, Jiangnan does not need to be considered.

The land of Bashu...... It's also a place where you can exhibit.

In history, didn't Liu Bang, the ancestor of the Han Dynasty, start by relying on Bashu? But what Uncle Gong said is not wrong, there are also problems in the land of Bashu.

Bashu can't; Sihong is inappropriate; Jiangnan is even more excluded......

And what about the land of Shandong? Shandong at the end of the Qin Dynasty was not Shandong Province in the narrow sense of the word, but all the areas east of the Kushan Mountains (north of present-day Luoning County, Henan Province). In the past, it was the fortress of Jin, connected with Hangu Pass, and was a barrier in the pass. In Shandong, it is necessary to face the impact of the remnants of the six countries. It's not that Liu is afraid, but how can he expand and grow smoothly when he fights all year round?

Then Shandong can only be excluded!

Think about it. Or Li Zuoche made a suggestion.

The land in Henan is fertile. But it is not taken seriously. There is a way that is a great river and a hundred harms. Mercenary. Henan is located right in this place. Since the Great War in Henan that year. The First Emperor established Jiuyuan County in Henan. Forty-four cities were governed. \ Migratory Population. That's 30,000 households. After that, before Meng Tian died. Another 66 families continued to relocate nearly 20,000 families. A total of more than 200,000 people.

This population number. Compared to the population of the entire Old Qin Empire. It doesn't seem like much.

But be aware. The population of Lao Qin is 17 million. Most of them are concentrated in Guanzhong and Shandong. And the vast land of Bashu and Jiangnan. It's only a million thousand. Take the land of nine plains and one county. It has a population of 200,000. In terms of population density alone. Much higher than Jiangnan and Bashu. Not to mention. This Jiuyuan County is close to the two places of Shandong and Guanzhong. It is also much higher than Jiangnan Bashu.

Li Zuoche even put forward an advantage that made everyone excited.

Take control of Kuhara County. It is equivalent to controlling a large cavalry army...... With the building warehouse mastered the high bridge saddle and stirrups. Accompanied by a large cavalry army. In the shortest possible time. swept Guanzhong and Shandong Liu and others' eyes lit up.

Yes, a large cavalry army with a Takahashi saddle and stirrups is indeed exciting!

"However, Henan is now under Wang Li's control, how to solve the more than 200,000 border guards?"

Jia Shao couldn't help but retorted: "Besides, although there are big rivers and moats in this Henan, it is adjacent to the Hu people. The power of Donghu cannot be underestimated, and the Yue Clan also has hundreds of thousands of people who control the strings. We occupy the land of Henan, and although we can avoid conflict with all parties, we still need to guard against the raging troubles. ”

Liu thought about it, but his eyes fell on Chen Ping's body unconsciously.

Chen Ping had a strange smile on his face, which made Liu suddenly remember that beside him, there was an existence that was not weaker than Zhang Liang.

"Five years ago, the Huns we could fight fled in embarrassment, so why should we be afraid of calamity?"

He deliberately ignored the fact that the strength in his Liu hands was far less than the strength in Meng Tian's hands in the past.

But I have to say that the battle of Henan is Liu's proud work.

When Meng Jian heard this, he immediately stroked his palms and shouted: "What the prince said is extremely true, the Huns that we were able to fight back then were defeated, how can we be afraid of calamity now? ”

Zhong Liwu didn't speak, and Guan Ying frowned.

As for the others, they are not idle. Although Liu deliberately hid the gap between the strength of Loucang and Meng Tian in the past, it does not mean that others will definitely follow his train of thought. Kuaicher's fingers tapped the long case, and Uncle Sun Tong's brows were also tightly locked.

Liu didn't care, staring at Chen Ping, "Daozi's expression is so relaxed, will he come out?" ”

"Hu people, don't worry!"

Chen Ping pondered for a moment and said: "There are many people who are profit-seeking, if the prince decides to base himself on Jiuyuan, he is willing to contact this worry for the prince."

However, there is no need to worry about misfortune, and the king is ...... away."

"If there is no need to worry about trouble, Wang Li is not enough to worry about!"

Liu Shensheng replied, and then asked: "I just don't know, what conditions do Daozi need to solve the trouble?" ”

"Golden Million!"

"Ahh

Everyone present couldn't help but gasp.

Cao Shen couldn't help but speak: "Junhou, since I started to prepare for the evacuation, the various assets in your name have only been exchanged for 30,000 gold. Before the transfer of assets, half of the gold has been transported

…… And now the warehouse house in my building is only more than 10,000 golden ears...... If the prince decides to move to Jiuyuan County, he also needs enough money to support it. ”

One gold, if converted, is about six taels per catty.

Chen Ping's opening is tantamount to emptying the treasury of the building...... This made Liu hesitate.

"Daozi, I don't want to embarrass you."

Cao Shen Zhengse said: "Now that we have cut off our ties with Shu County, it is difficult to get abundant money and silk support. If the prince wants to base himself in Jiuyuan, he may spend a lot of money to build. Ten thousand gold, I really can't supply it...... At most, I can only divide five thousand. ”

"Five thousand, not enough!"

Liu Shen groaned for a long time, gritted his teeth and said: "Lao Cao, transfer all the gold in the treasury to Daozi for use...... As for the future relocation and the cost of construction of Jiuyuan, we have another way. Daozi, I gave you the gold, what else do you need from me? ”

"Two people!"

"Who?"

Chen Ping smiled slightly, "Two young gentlemen." ”

Meng Ji and Li Zuoche?

Among the people here, only Li Zuoche and Meng Ji can afford the word Shaojun.

After thinking about it for a while, Liu nodded and said, "There is no problem on my side, but I don't know what the two young gentlemen want?" ”

"I should be at the behest of the prince!"

Li Zuoche and Meng Ji got up and intervened to receive the order.

Liu said: "In this case, Daozi, you take Lao Meng and Zuoche, and carry the gold with Lao Cao, so go down and prepare." What you need, you can discuss with Lao Cao and Jia Sima. As for Wang Li's side...... Hehe, you don't need to worry about it. If my guess is correct, Zhou Zhang's breakthrough of Hangu Pass will definitely shake Xianyang. Maybe at the end of the year, Wang Li will definitely lead the border army into Shandong, and you can take the opportunity to act. ”

Will Wang Li leave Jiuyuan?

Liu is also not sure......

But one thing is certain, that is, after Zhou Zhang broke through the Hangu Pass, Qin II will definitely not sit firmly on the Diaoyutai as before. Nanfang Ren did not move, and his mind is not clear. Then the soldiers and horses that Qin II can mobilize, in addition to the defenders of Guanzhong, seem to be the only ones in the Jiuyuan border army. Unless Qin II wanted to see the situation in Shandong getting worse and worse, otherwise, Wang Li would definitely attack.

And in the memory of his previous life, the commander of the Qin army in the Battle of Julu seems to be Wang Li.

Chen Ping got up and walked out of the hall, but when he walked to the door, he suddenly stopped and looked at Liu Dao in surprise: "Junhou, don't you want to know how I can use this gold?" ”

Liu was stunned for a moment, and soon understood the meaning of Chen Ping's words.

Chen Ping was worried that he controlled so much gold, and once a villain provoked it, it would inevitably make him fall into Liu's suspicion.

"But it doesn't hurt to use it!"

Liu smiled: "Daozi, I have been friends with you for almost ten years, and I know very well what you are." If it is not enough, let me know, and I will try to raise more money for you. As for the rest, you don't have to worry...... In short, just concentrate on your business. ”

These words are not only to Chen Ping, but also to remind everyone present.

Chen Ping didn't say anything more, just took a deep swipe at Liu's hand, and then turned around and left.

"Michiko!"

What else does the prince command? ”

"If you go to Jiuyuan County here, I'm afraid you will encounter a lot of trouble. After you arrived in Jiuyuan, you managed to contact the Wu clan. The Wu clan has now set up a ranch in Jiuyuan, and Liqiu's teacher Gai Nie is also over there, so if you have any questions, you can ask the Wu clan for help. In addition, I will let Ji Xin go to Jiuyuan with you...... He is a skilled martial artist who can keep you safe. Michiko, be careful along the way. ”

Ji Xin is now Liu's guard.

Liu sent Ji Xin to accompany him, and on the other hand, it also showed his concern for Chen Ping.

Chen Ping nodded, and then said goodbye and left......

――――――――――――――

walked a Chen Ping, and another 6 Jia.

For Liu, there is so much to do at the moment......

As for Xianyang, Liu no longer had the heart to pay attention to it. Anyway, he knows one thing, don't look at Zhou Zhang's current strength, and even broke through Hangu Pass and killed all the way to Xianyang. But Lao Qin's real elite, he hasn't encountered it yet. The lieutenant army stationed in Xianyang was by no means able to resist Zhou Zhang's rabble. Moreover, in memory, Zhou Zhang's attack on Guanzhong was just a one-man achievement.

Chapter, presumably it's about to be shot!

In the next two days, Liu urged Jia Shao to try to contact Shu County again. On the other hand, he devoted all his energy to the construction of the 500-storey warehouse cavalry. What role did the appearance of the double stirrup and the Takahashi saddle play in the history of the Chinese Dynasty? Liu is not unclear in his heart.

The appearance of double stirrups and Takahashi saddles, especially double stirrups, directly contributed to the creation of armor riding equipment.

Many people may not be aware of what armor means.

Then to explain it in more plain terms, it is the heavy cavalry!

Heavy cavalry

, without going into too much detail. It should have been during the period of the Wuhu Rebellion.+|If it had appeared in this period, how great would the deterrent effect be? Needless to say. But to promote the appearance of heavy cavalry, Liu also faced a very huge difficulty. That is the material from which the armor is made, and the fundamental style of the armor equipment.

Among them, the steel for the production of armor riding gear is a problem that Liu has to consider.

With the current technology, it is obviously impossible to produce armor and riding equipment like the future generations.

This was still an era dominated by bronze weapons, and although iron weapons had appeared, they were far from meeting the requirements of armor and riding equipment in terms of hardness and other aspects. In later generations, one of the conditions that prompted the emergence of armor riding equipment was the progress of iron-making technology. In the Wuhu Rebellion, the technology of 100 steels had fully matured, and further led to the emergence of heavy cavalry.

And now, even if Liu has a sword-forging master, Pan Ye Lao, he has only mastered the immature method of seventy-two steelmaking.

Although, after Pan Ye Lao took refuge in Liu, he continued to mature the technology of 72 steelmaking in the past few years, but he still could not meet Liu's requirements.

Loucang, Tielu.

When Pan Ye Lao tried to attack the 100 steelmaking technology again and failed, he sat on the ground in a gloomy manner.

"Prince, although your idea is good, the conditions are very high. In our current situation, it is simply impossible to achieve the level of 100 steel. I do have an idea, since we can't succeed for the time being, why not replace it with bronze for the time being? Although it does not meet your requirements, the casting method of this bronze ware is mature, and it should be able to replace it.

As for the method of 100 steelmaking, I don't think I should think about it for the time being.

The most urgent task at the moment is to stabilize the method of 72 steelmaking, and then mass production, and further improve the technology from production. ”

Liu also knew that he was afraid that he was a little anxious.

He thought about it and felt that Panye's words were not unreasonable. A lot of times, technology is a stuff that has a lot of constraints. Even if you have mastered the technology, there are many restrictions. The requirements of this hardware device alone also require a long time of research and pondering.

"In that case, let's follow what Pan Lao said."

After Liu and Pan Ye Lao discussed for a while, they left Tielu.

At this time of year, it should be harvest time. This year, however, due to the turmoil of the situation, many fields have been left uncultivated.

Including the grange under Liu's name, which has been sold but has not yet been taken over, is also deserted......

Riding on a horse, Liu Xin wandered around the desolate grange with the reins.

)>

I don't know, what is the situation in Shu County?

Liu's concerns are very much. The changes in the current situation have also made his plans change again and again. Hopefully, Shu County will not have an accident.

Just as he was thinking about his thoughts, the sound of horses' hooves in the distance.

Several fast horses galloped from the direction of the Loucang Mansion and one person, it was Kuaiche.

Along with Kuaiche, there were also 6 Jia and Shusun Tong. The three of them turned over and dismounted in front of Liu, looking both excited and restless.

"Junhou, something is wrong!"

Liu Yi was stunned and looked at the three of them suspiciously, "What's wrong?" Actually made the three gentlemen so panicked? ”

"As the prince said, Zhou Zhang is defeated!"

"Ahh

Liu Ran's eyes widened suddenly, and he looked at the three of them, "Zhou Zhang is defeated?" Are you sure? ”

"Tanma reported that three days ago, Zhou Zhang's troops entered Weishui, fought a decisive battle with the Qin army, and were killed so that the whole army was defeated and retreated quickly outside Hangu Pass."

"Can you find out, who is the commander of the Qin army?"

"Nai Qin Shaofu Chapter ......"

Sure enough, it was him, that chapter, and it really appeared.

However, Liu doesn't understand, even if Zhang wins, it is not good news for Lou Cang? You must know that Liu is not his own person to those people in Xianyang. But why, Kuaicher 6 Jia, and Shusun Tong all seem excited?

"Three gentlemen, is there any other news?"

Uncle Sun Tong couldn't help laughing, "Hehe, I really didn't hide it from the prince...... Xizuo brought back two pieces of news, in addition to Zhou Zhang being defeated, the old Qin Prime Minister Li Si was sent to the prison. ”

I couldn't help but tremble, "Li Si, was sent to the prison?" ”

"Yes, the one who has taken over as prime minister now is the eunuch Zhao Gao...... As soon as Li Si is gone, the prince no longer needs to worry about Lao Qin! ”

――――――――――――――――

Actually, I wanted to say something, but I really didn't know how to say it.

Try to stabilize first......

The two wrong decisions have created the overall downturn this year, which can be regarded as self-inflicted. (To be continued, if you want to know what will happen next, please post 6 sections more, support for \, support genuine reading!) )
