Chapter 26 [On the Eve of the Expedition].
Gangneung~
Since Zhou Han's son Zhou Ning, after the full moon, Zhou Han has also been busy with what he should be busy with, and he naturally doesn't need to be busy with military training, he is busy with his company!
The most lacking thing in every era is talent, so Zhou Han tries his best to recruit as many talents as possible in various industries.
Since Zhou Han invented paper, of course the paper is diversified, and the quality is constantly improving, with paper, if you don't invent printing, then I'm sorry for the identity of the traverser, when printing comes out, Zhou Han has a more crazy idea.
At this time in Jiangling City, the branch of the Duzhu Pavilion has been opened in Jiangling for more than a year, and because of Liu Bei's strong support, it has developed very rapidly, and Liu Jun's equipment has also been replaced with weapons and armor cast by the Duzhu Pavilion!
At this time, Zhou Han was in his own company, the science and technology innovation and research department, and some of the people inside to discuss the printing process, this science and technology research department, as the name suggests, is naturally to assist Zhou Han in invention and creation, are 100% loyal people, the head of the department is a promising young man named Chu Rui, this department is some handsome men and women, young and talented, Zhou Han told them about the printing technology, then left, let them go to their own tinkering, he wanted to go to the Duzhu Pavilion to see~
Soon, Zhou Han stood outside the door of the Duzhu Pavilion, only to see a gold-lettered signboard on the door with the three words of the Duzhu Pavilion, the font is upright, the fall is generous, although the calligraphy is general, but it makes people see that there is a kind of generosity and elegance in the face! It makes people feel that the person who wrote these three words is a righteous gentleman. These three words are exactly what Zhou Han mentioned, although he was not used to writing brush words at first, but after practicing in his spare time, the font was barely on the faΓ§ade.
Glancing at those three words, Zhou Han felt slightly complacent: "This is the master's calligraphy." β
With a narcissistic sentence in his heart, Zhou Han stepped up the stairs and walked towards the door. Before entering the inside, the two partners who greeted the guests at the door naturally recognized Zhou Han, and at the same time saluted respectfully:
"I've seen General Zhou."
Zhou Han nodded and walked in.
Inside, the layout of the entire Duzhu Pavilion branch is different from the main store.
Because the weapons are not supplied to others, and the armor cast is only supplied to Liu Jun, it is all iron-struck, and it is Pu Yuan's apprentice recently.
Zhou Han did not stay longer in the place where the iron was struck on the first floor, but went straight to the second floor, in the hall on the second floor, Pu Yuan was sitting in the main seat drinking a cup of tea, Zhou Han came up and smiled: "The shopkeeper Pu is so leisurely!" β
Pu Yuan hurriedly put down the tea and said with a smile:
"General Zhou is here to see the iron being struck."
Zhou Han smiled: "It's almost, but the main thing is to chat with the shopkeeper." β
Pu Yuan smiled:
"Since this branch opened in Jiangling, except for the first time it opened, General Zhou came over, and the general was busy with other affairs later, so I really don't want to inspect it this time."
Zhou Han sat down, his own little servant came up with tea, took a sip of tea, Zhou Han smiled and said: "The merits of the shopkeeper are obvious to all, why do you need to look at it." If you don't dislike it, can Han call Brother Pu Yuan, the owner of the shop? β
Pu Yuan said with a smile: "I can't ask for it like this, this is Yuan Gaopan." β
"Haha~~~"
The two smiled and chatted about other topics, although they were all commonplace, but then Zhou Han thought that now that the development of this Duzhu Pavilion was on the right track, it was time to mention the invention and manufacture of saddle stirrups and horseshoes, Zhou Han said that these three types of equipment of this cavalry and their uses, Pu Yuan was immediately surprised:
"If the three types of equipment are one, then the cavalry combat power will be a big one, and Ziqi will make a great contribution."
Pu Yuan is sophisticated, since Zhou Han has called him Brother Pu Yuan, then of course he is almost called Zhou Han's table, Zhou Han smiled:
"What a great achievement, Han can only say a rough idea, mainly relying on Brother Pu Yuan to create improvements. If you want to talk about great achievements, Brother Pu Yuan is the one who has made great achievements, if there is no you, the equipment of our army is all broken copper and iron. β
"Haha~~ Ziqi is too good at laughing." The relationship between the two seems to be closer in this chat, and then Zhou Han drew out the pictures of making saddles, stirrups, and horseshoes, and handed over the manufacturing task to Pu Yuan, and he himself said goodbye and left, and went back to his mansion, halfway through, Zhou Han suddenly thought that he hadn't seen Deng Ai for a long time, and he didn't know how well he had followed Zhuge Liang to learn the art of war.
On the way to the county government, not far away, I saw a herald from the county government hurrying over, and saw Zhou Han bowing down to the tunnel:
"The little one has seen General Zhou."
Zhou Hanyu immediately looked down at him and asked:
"You are in a hurry, what do you want?"
Herald Soldier:
"I was about to go to the mansion, please General Zhou, the lord asked the generals to go to the county government to discuss matters."
Zhou Han raised his eyebrows, as if thinking of something, and asked, "Do you know what is discussed?" β
The herald said truthfully:
"Back to the general, there is a detailed report, saying that Cao Ying raised an army of 300,000 to the south, which is menacing, so the lord asks the generals to go and discuss."
Zhou Han's eyes flashed, as expected, after two years of recuperation, Cao Ying still marched south, wanting to dominate the world!
After getting this news, Zhou Han didn't dare to stay, and went to the county government on horseback.
After a while, Zhou Han entered the county government, went to the hall, saluted Liu Bei and sat down, at this time there were still some colleagues who did not come, Zhou Han came early, Liu Bei would not snub Zhou Han, and chatted with him for a few words.
Soon after, Zhao Yun, Wei Yan, Yu Ban, Wen Ping, and other generals arrived in turn, and each sat down, Liu Bei saw that the people had arrived, so he got straight to the point and said:
"Ladies and gentlemen, there is a detailed report, saying that Cao Ying raised an army of 300,000, out of Xuchang, and went south, with Zhang Liao as the vanguard, and after Li Dian was combined, he was stationed in Hefei and had the potential to attack Eastern Wu.
Because of its great strength, the Wu army did not dare to fight alone, so it asked our army for help, what are your opinions? β
Zhuge Liang seemed to have a bamboo in his chest, laughing and not saying a word, while the generals and several civil officials were discussing.
Zhuge Liang's eyes swept over everyone's faces, and everyone was talking about how to face Cao Ying's army and Dongwu's request for help, when it swept to Zhou Han's face, seeing that Zhou Han was calm and calm, as if he had expected this matter, Zhuge Liang showed a hint of amusement on his face: "This Ziqi, how did he know about this matter, why not test it"
Thinking about it, Zhuge Liang smiled:
"Lord, Liangguan Ziqi is calm and calm, and he must have a plan."
Zhou Han raised his eyebrows and glared at Zhuge Liang, meaning Brother Pig, you pit me!!
When Liu Bei heard Zhuge Liang's words, he smiled and said:
"Ziqi has always had a strategy, why not come."
Zhou Han couldn't, so after thinking about it, he had to say:
"As far as Han can see, Cao Ying's army is not coming south, but west."
"Oh! How so? Liu Bei hurriedly asked.
Zhou Han said in a calm tone as usual:
"The reason is very simple, the Sun-Liu Alliance, if you want to break the two armies of Sun and Liu, you will be hurt, and there are two princes of Ma Chao and Han Sui in the west, and the two of them hold the Xiliang army, and they are the great enemy in the rear of Cao Ying, if you want to go south, how can Cao Ying not clear the rear first!"
Liu Bei's eyes flashed in agreement:
"It makes sense, but if it is true in the false soldiers, what can I do?"
Zhou Han thought for a while and said:
"In this way, you can ask the military advisor, and the military advisor must have a plan."
Zhou Han is not without a strategy, but sometimes you have to leave some space for others to play, otherwise you have finished everything, then other people are not just decorations, it is easy to make people feel guilty, and it is not good for the relationship with colleagues.
Zhuge Liang was amused when he heard Zhou Han throw the words to himself, but before he could think anything, Liu Bei asked Zhuge Liang and said, "The military advisor really has a plan. β
Zhuge Liang said with a smile: "Ziqi's words are reasonable, but the lord's concerns are also reasonable, Liang has a strategy, which makes Cao Ying's rear unstable, even if Yingzhen's army is stationed in Hefei, he has to retreat." β
Liu Bei asked urgently: "What is the strategy, the military advisor will come quickly." β
Zhuge Liang's feather fan shook lightly and said with a smile: "It's easy to say." It's just a knife to kill people. β
"How do you borrow it?" Liu Bei asked.
Zhuge Liang said:
"Recently, I heard that Cao Ying had recruited Ma Teng into Xu, and then planned to lure Ma Teng to kill him.
Because of this, Ma Chao hated it deeply, and hated to take the head of the deceased father and pay tribute to his deceased father.
The lord and Ma Teng once had the righteousness of the edict, so to speak, let Ma Chao attack the rear of Cao Ying, and our army is willing to attack Cao Jun with him, so Ma Chao will definitely move troops, and our army is actually recuperating and preparing to enter Sichuan. β
Liu Bei patted the case and said:
"Good plan, write a letter and send it to Xiliang."
After a while, Liu Bei wrote a letter and sent a family guard to secretly go to Xiliang Ma Chao.
After the guards went down, Liu Bei said:
"However, the Cao army is powerful, and it is not easy for the Wu army to ignore the request for help."
Zhuge Liang smiled:
"The lord can send a general, and lead the troops to support it, so that Sun Quan can say that our army has no faith.
In Liang's opinion, Ziqi is just right. β
Zhou Han raised his eyebrows and smiled bitterly:
"Brother Liang, why am I again?"
Zhuge Liang smiled:
Zi Qi Liang didn't say it in his words, but let Zi Qi go after careful consideration.
I think that Sun Quan may have designed to harm Ziqi, if he sees that the reinforcements are Ziqi, then no matter how thick-skinned he is, he must be ashamed of himself! β
Zhou Han asked:
"Then Wu Jun won't harm me again?"
Zhuge Liang seemed to have thought about this earlier, and said with a smile:
"When Zhou Yu was alive, he advocated a big battle with our army and captured Jingzhou, and now Zhou Yu has long since died, the governor is Lu Su, and his manpower is mainly associated with Liu Kangcao, so Ziqi can rest assured that Lu Su will not let Sun Quan be slandered by others and harm Ziqi again, and make our army turn against each other."
Zhou Han smiled and said, "I also asked casually, how could I be afraid of them." β
Zhuge Liang smiled and praised: "General Meng is really courageous. β
"That's it!" Zhou Han was very immodest.
Seeing that the two finished talking, Liu Bei didn't say a word, so he ordered Zhou Han to lead 3,000 soldiers and horses to support the Wu army, and set off immediately.
