"Still." Liu Zhang said again, and the eunuch's heart suddenly lifted.

"Our army will attack the Qiang people, all external enemies first, Cao thief must first eliminate the misunderstanding, Dengcheng, Anzhong, Anle and other cities to our army garrison, in addition, Wancheng's 5,000 soldiers and horses are Cao Cao's unjust gains, Wancheng soldiers and horses are unwilling to surrender to Cao, which is clear from the surrender of 20,000 Wancheng soldiers in Tieshan, so Cao Cao must hand over these 5,000 soldiers and horses to me."

"This ......" eunuch is embarrassed, this eunuch is carefully selected by Xun Yu, some knowledge, he knows the location of Dengcheng Anzhong Anle and other cities, these cities and Danshui and the mountains south of the Qingni Pass are connected together, if they are guarded, it is another barrier, plus the Fancheng garrison, can ensure the stability of Xiangyang.

And the most important thing is not the cities themselves, cutting the land is a great insult, I am afraid that this move will make Cao Cao's reputation ruined, not to mention the sacrifice of five thousand soldiers, those five thousand soldiers are not ordinary soldiers, that is Zhang Xiu's soldiers.

Soon after Zhang Xiu surrendered, Cao Cao dedicated his soldiers to others, Liu Zhang probably did not want these 5,000 soldiers, but to make Cao Cao lose his prestige in the army, and even the soldiers who surrendered to him could not be kept, can he still be relied on? Dispose of the surrendered soldiers at will, who else will surrender to Cao Cao in the future?

But now the situation is stronger than people, the eunuch has no choice, Xun Yu gave him full authority to dispose of the power, the eunuch thought carefully, as long as Liu Zhang does not go on the Northern Expedition, 5,000 soldiers and a few small cities will be harmless.

As for Cao Cao's prestige and reputation, if Liu Zhang commits a crime in the north and Cao's army is destroyed, what prestige and reputation do you need?

"Uncle Huang won't have other conditions, right?" The eunuch was vigilant.

............, "Lord, do you want to go see Cao Xian first?" ”

"What does a woman do? I want to see the powerful and fast general you said first. ”

Huang Yueying and Liu Zhang walked into the prison, Huang Yueying said as she walked: "That woman is not a simple woman, although she has a small temperament, but she is very powerful. ”

"Oh?" Liu Zhang was startled, stopped and said to Huang Yueying: "You asked me to marry her, so that's what you mean?" ”

"The Lord forgives sins."

"Not bad." Liu Zhang said with a smile: "But don't worry, it's all my people anyway, the marriage has been announced to the world, Cao Cao still dares to regret it, let's go see the fast general first." ”

Liu Zhang is very interested in a person who can outrun a war horse. The Shenxing Taibao Scud Dai Zong in the Emotional Water Margin should be the reincarnation of this guy, right? But Dai Zong can travel 400 miles a day, and he can only travel 800 miles with a horse, and this car can travel 700 miles a day, if he is tied to a horse...... Liu Zhang shuddered, how do you let the red rabbit horse live.

............ "Hu Che'er, are you willing to surrender?" ”

In the prison, because Hu Che'er was too strong, he was tied to the wall with iron chains, and every time he ate, the soldiers came to feed him.

Hu Che'er looked at Liu Zhang, suddenly tilted his head, and snorted coldly, "How can a loyal minister serve the second master?" ”

This sentence should have been impassioned, but Liu Zhang felt that it came out of Hu Che'er's mouth, how to listen to it, how to feel awkward, as if he had just learned such a sentence somewhere, and he was showing it off in front of him.

Liu Zhang waved his hand, the soldier opened the prison door, Liu Zhang walked in and looked Hu Che'er up and down, this figure is much taller than Hao, no wonder he ran fast, and said to Hu Che'er: "Loyal ministers don't care about the second master, why did you lower Cao Cao?" ”

"I ...... That's the general who wants to surrender, what does it have to do with me? ”

"Then did you follow Cao Xian and get arrested?"

Hu Che'er glared at Liu Zhang and said, "So what? ”

Liu Zhang smiled: "Since you can follow General Zhang Xiu to surrender to Cao Cao, then you should also follow Cao Xian to join me, right?" ”

"Bah." Hu Che'er said disdainfully: "Which green onion are you, Cao Xian is Cao Cao's daughter, will she take refuge in you?" You hit your head on a rock last night, well, hum, ridiculous. ”

Hu Che'er's head swayed left and right, and his big eyes glanced at Liu Zhang, full of contempt.

"You, I'm ......" was so powerful that he was about to step forward with a sledgehammer, but was stopped by Liu Zhang.

Liu Zhang stretched out his hand to Huang Yueying, Huang Yueying handed over a book of bamboo slips, Liu Zhang unfolded the bamboo slips and showed them off in front of Hu Che'er, Hu Che'er's eyes widened.

"See, this is Cao Cao's birthday sent to Ben Hou, and now it has been announced to the world, Cao Xian will not only serve me, the whole person is Ben Hou's, as her subordinate, should you also serve me?"

Hu Che'er stared at the bamboo slip with wide eyes, as if he could recognize the words on it if his eyes widened, but God knows he couldn't read the fart.

"Well...... Hum ......" Hu Che'er hesitated, hummed and chirped: "That, that's not possible, I, Hu Che'er, must vote for a hero of the world, that is, the kind of extraordinary martial arts, you ......" Hu Che'er looked Liu Zhang up and down: "You are this body, I will fall into the dung pit as soon as I push it, and it will not be successful." ”

"Niangpi ......" is so powerful and angry, I really can't stand this open-mouthed guy, just call his lord Cao Cao by name, and dare to be rude to Liu Zhang, so powerful I can't wait to smash Hu Che'er's pointed head into a deflated head with a hammer.

Liu Zhang pressed it so hard, and said to Hu Che'er with a smile: "Then are you sure Cao Cao can beat you?" ”

Hu Che'er's eyes rolled, although he had not seen Cao Cao since he surrendered, but he had seen Cao Cao's three expeditions to Wancheng before, and there was zero distance contact, and after recalling for a while, he said in frustration: "I'm afraid not." ”

"Then why did you vote for him?"

"Isn't this the general who voted for him? …… Oh, by the way, Cao Cao is not good, General Zhang Xiu is a first-class hero, say it and scare you to death, General Zhang is known as the king of guns in the north, worthy of the name, I follow General Zhang, but not Cao Cao, do you have a more powerful hero than General Zhang Xiu? ”

"Awesome, awesome." Liu Zhang said with a smile: "The hero is right, General Zhang Xiu is indeed a first-class hero, a tiger-headed golden gun is invincible all over the world, and the four words of the Northland Gun King are well-deserved, in the northwest and the Central Plains, it is true that only people like General Zhang are worthy of being a hero, but." ”

Hu Che'er was smug, and immediately glared at him: "But what? ”

"But our Sichuan army has heroes who are more powerful than General Zhang Xiu."

"You fart, you dare to insult General Zhang, I fought with you......" Hu Che'er struggled with his body, and the chains on his body rattled.

"Hero, don't get excited, don't get excited." Liu Zhang smiled and comforted the red-faced Hu Che'er: "Listen to me carefully, General Zhang Xiu is a hero in the world, but he is from the disciple of the gun king Tong Yuan, right?"

And General Zhang Xiu is only Tong Yuan's second disciple, who is the eldest disciple? Do the heroes know? It's Zhang Ren, the first general of my Sichuan army, so you tell me, is the big disciple powerful? Or is the second disciple powerful? ”

Hu Che'er's eyes rolled a few times, and he was speechless.

"Let's talk about martial arts." Liu Zhang glanced at the iron chain on Hu Che'er's body and said with a smile: "Can a hero break away?" ”

Hu Che'er looked at the fist-thick chains on his body, all tied to the wall behind him, and snorted angrily: "It's so thick, who can break it in this world?" ”

Liu Zhang gestured to Haowei, threw the sledgehammer, slammed his palms twice, clapped his hands and stepped forward, grabbing the chain that tied Hu Che'er.

"Wow." There was a loud roar, the muscles of the whole body were tense, the iron chains were pulled straight, and there was a "chirp" sound, only to hear the sound of "boom", the entire wall was cracked, dust was splashed, and the surrounding prison guards suddenly surrounded them, and Liu Zhang waved his hand and dispersed.

Hu Che'er was disdainful at first, then surprised, and then saw that the wall was opened with a big hole, and he was stunned and speechless, he was also considered to be the most powerful in the Liangzhou army at the beginning, and he had never seen such a divine power.

Hu Che'er regained his freedom, and Huang Yueying took a step forward without a trace, protecting Liu Zhang's side.

"Now that Cao Xian is back to me, you don't have to worry about betraying the master, General Zhang Ren is a hero who is more powerful than General Zhang Xiu, and my personal guard is also better than you, what else do you have to say?"

"No words, no words." Hu Che'er bowed to Liu Zhang: "See the little Hu Che'er...... By the way, what's your name? Hu Che'er looked up at Liu Zhang.

kicked Hu Che'er who was kneeling on the ground: "Call the lord, something uneducated." "It's so powerful, I don't remember when I first served, and I'm not used to calling the lord.

"Yes, yes, the little Hu Che'er see the lord."

………… Cao Xian was taken back to Xuchang by the eunuch, and only then did he learn that Xun Yu was in charge of his own affairs, and he didn't notify Cao Cao of Guandu at all, so he married her to Liu Zhang.

Moreover, it is still a concubine.

Cao Xian immediately became popular.

"Lord Xun, how can you be like this, I am the daughter of a dignified prime minister, how can I marry a butcher? And it's still a concubine, heh, if you Lord Xun can figure it out, aren't you afraid that your father will come back and blame you? Cao Xian yelled.

Xun Yu's face was calm, and he handed Cao Xian a bamboo slip, Cao Xian took it and looked at it, and was shocked.

Zhong Yu sent a letter to ask Xun Yu to marry Liu Zhang, how could Xun Yu have time to ask Cao Cao, and immediately racked his brains to think of the benefits that he could think of, the benefits that he could give, and the tricks that he could come up with, which also included, may or may not be effective.

In the long run, even if Cao Cao Guandu wins a big victory, it will take a few years to annex the north, if Cao Cao and Liu Zhang are reconciled, it can at least play a little delaying role, for this role, in order to promote Liu Zhang's withdrawal now, even if it is better than nothing, Xun Yu will not hesitate.

What's more, Cao Xian was too disobedient, and she was going to marry her and her two sisters to Liu Xie as concubines, but she not only escaped, but also folded 20,000 soldiers and horses, so that the big-eared thief Liu Bei took Chang'an, and she should also be punished.

After Xun Yu issued the order of the pro-eunuch, he copied the official Cao Cao, and the bamboo slip in Cao Xian's hand was Cao Cao's reply, and Cao Cao had agreed to Xun Yu's approach, so that Cao Xian could not be surprised.

Cao Xian never thought that his father would be so ruthless, in order to please his enemies, he actually made himself a gift, and the heroic father who was invincible in the past became more and more blurred in his tears.

Liu Zhang kills people without blinking, in Cao Xian's mind, and those fierce and strong men selling meat on the street should have the same image.

As a concubine, Cao Xian thought of the word "concubine", and thought of Liu Zhang's image, as if there was a ball of ice water in his chest, which cooled his heart.

"Since I've come back, why can't I regret my marriage, I'm not afraid that my reputation will not be guaranteed, and I won't go to Xichuan if I die." Cao Xian grabbed the bamboo slip and cried to Xun Yu.

"Miss, don't be willful anymore."

Xun Yu said loudly, he generally has a good temper, but since the battle of Guandu, he has been exhausted and has not had a good night's sleep, and now Liu Zhang has a large army to threaten Cao Cao's core.

Xun Yu is also a human being, in order to persuade Liu Zhang to retreat, Xun Yu was extremely irritable in his heart, and at this time Cao Xian was still making trouble, and Xun Yu could no longer suppress his temper.

"Miss, aren't you afraid that your reputation will be lost, and your father will lose his city and land, and he will die? As a descendant of the Cao family, what is this sacrifice?

Do you know that Liu Zhang's soldiers were persecuted, and the lord had to agree to cut the land and donate troops, do you think he is not heartbroken?

General Le Jin died in Tieshan, but we can't blame Liu Zhang for this, and we don't even dare to say a cruel word, don't you think the lord is not sad?

Do you know how people in the world will view the prime minister from now on? Compromise and perfection, coward, mediocre master.

As the daughter of the lord, don't you know what your father's temperament is? Will he feel good in his heart when he is humiliated like this? Can't you share a little bit of the great cause of the Lord? I still want to make a small character here, the marriage has been announced to the world, or the Son of Heaven has given it personally, can it be changed? ”

Xun Yu finished yelling loudly, his nostrils and mouth were panting, he looked at Cao Xian, tried to calm down, and bowed to Cao Xian: "Xun Yu is rude, Miss forgive me, but Miss shoulders the heavy responsibility of persuading Liu Zhang to make peace with the Central Plains, please understand Xun Yu's hardship." ”

Cao Xian looked at Xun Yu, who worshiped ninety degrees deeply, he had never seen Xun Yu roar so fiercely, and he had never seen Xun Yu so respectful and courteous to everyone except Cao Cao and the emperor, full of grievances, with tears coming out of his eyes, Cao Xian wiped his eyes and ran out of the lobby.

Xun Yu looked at Cao Xian's back running away, raised his head and sighed deeply at the roof: "God, I, Xun Yu, have today, I can't keep the territory, I have to cut the land and ask for peace, humiliation and hatred, and force the lord's daughter to marry far away. ”

………… Cao Cao ceded Deng Cheng, An Zhong, and An Le to Liu Zhang, and Wancheng's 5,000 soldiers and horses, together with armor and weapons, were all transferred to the Sichuan army, and it was agreed that a month later, Cao Xian would be married to Xichuan.

The Sichuan army announced to the outside world that the Qiang people had invaded the border, the situation was urgent, the victims of the two rivers had not been completely resettled, the grain and grass were exhausted, the people of the community were the foundation, and the worries were serious, so the Northern Expedition had to be canceled.

Liu Zhang left Yan Yan and 30,000 soldiers and horses to garrison Fancheng, and led the first-line defense of Dengcheng, Anzhong, and Anle, and led his own soldiers and Fan Lixiang's more than 10,000 soldiers and horses and 30,000 soldiers to return to Xiangyang.

In the afternoon, the sun was turning west, and the Sichuan army was crossing the Han River.

The rain was pouring down, the weather was gloomy, thick dark clouds covered the whole sky, as if it was night, occasionally a rolling thunder, lightning straight into the earth, the rain hit the grass, the grass dripped water droplets, forming a stream on the ground.

Liu Zhang stood at the head of the bridge on the north bank, holding a huge umbrella so powerfully, covering Liu Zhang, Huang Yueying, and Hu Che in it.

Liu Zhang and Huang Yueying watched the soldiers crossing the river and were talking, when suddenly a soldier from the back team came to report: "Report to the lord, we found a female beggar in the mud." ”

"Female beggar?" Liu Zhang was stunned for a moment, glanced at the thick dark clouds in the sky, the heavy rain in the sky, and said to the soldiers: "It's not easy to come out and ask for money on this rainy day, give a hundred dollars, just go back and tell the quartermaster." ”

"General Fan has already given it." The soldier said: "But the female beggar just didn't leave, she didn't say that she wanted to see the lord, General Fan had only one breath left when he saw her, and he didn't dare to slack off, so let me report to the lord." ”

"Lord, go and see." Huang Yueying said.

Liu Zhang nodded, and walked to the rear team under the guidance of the soldiers, Huang Yueying said to Hao Li and Wang Xu: "Two generals, protect the lord, it may be an assassin." ”

"Yes."

Huang Yueying really couldn't think of how a female beggar would come to Liu Zhang in this rain-pouring weather, Liu Zhang had been assassinated many times, and assassins could be encountered anywhere, Huang Yueying had to worry.

"Good general, do you still learn martial arts from Mrs. Xiao every day?"

"yes."

"Be careful, you are born with divine power, but your moves are not flexible, when you encounter a master like Qu Lingchen, it is easy to suffer, you die and it is a small matter, the Lord must not lose."

Huang Yueying and so powerful walked as she walked, she thought about it for a while, the last time she was assassinated in the tent, although even if there was no Huang Yueying, Liu Zhang's life would be fine, but it was in a precautionary situation, and Qu Lingchen had no intention of stabbing Liu Zhang's vital point at all.

And if it was like last time in the mountains and forests, if it weren't for Xiao Furong's white jade sword, I'm afraid Liu Zhang would have been assassinated, so I thought of it so much, I was also afraid for a while.

Huang Yueying took out a book, a paper one, handed it to him and said, "The master once taught me the hammer method, and I wrote it all down a few days ago, you take it back and practice it." ”

It was so powerful to take it, Hu Che'er said excitedly: "What about me, military advisor, what about me, I want it too." ”

Huang Yueying said coldly: "That's a double hammer, a single hammer and an iron whip (Hu Che'er uses a thick iron chain and a single hammer), I didn't write it." ”

Hu Che'er was frustrated, so she turned over the graphics and looked at the graphics above, and glanced at Huang Yueying in surprise: "This girl has also learned hammers?" ”

Finally arrived at the place of the female beggar, Aguda was also called by Fan Lixiang, Liu Zhang took a closer look, only to see that the female beggar had a pale face, her hair was scattered, and she was dressed in a nun's clothes, all wet and sticking to her body, showing off her proud figure, but her body was so weak that she seemed to be about to die, her breathing was deep and slow, and she was already breathing more and less in.

Aguda took off the female beggar's shoes and was giving her medicine, the light lotus feet were full of broken blood blisters, full of devastation, peeling skin from the rain, miserable, and I don't know how far the female beggar has run.

"Tell someone to send someone to a nearby city to recuperate." Liu Zhang couldn't bear to say.

"No, no." When the female beggar saw Liu Zhang's arrival, her eyes showed a hint of joy, and when she heard that she was going to be sent away, she hurriedly waved her hand: "Uncle Liuhuang, I can be regarded as waiting for you, I ...... I am ......" The woman struggled to keep her eyes open, spoke intermittently, and struggled to pull out a bracelet from her clothes that were clinging to her jade body.

Liu Zhang saw that the bracelet was exquisitely made, exquisite, and had white patterns on it, which seemed to be very precious, but he didn't know what the woman's intentions were, but Huang Yueying next to him looked surprised: "Phoenix bracelet?" Are you ......" Huang Yueying glanced at it and gave Liu Zhang a look.

Seeing Huang Yueying's solemn expression, Liu Zhang immediately retreated from everyone, leaving only a few powerful people left by Fan Lixiang.

"You're sent by the Queen?" Huang Yueying asked, Liu Zhang and the others were also surprised.

The woman shook her head: "No, I am...... It's the queen, Fu Shou. The woman spit out two words with difficulty, and Liu Zhang was even more surprised.

It turned out that Fu Shou originally planned to take advantage of the poisonous monk's puja, Liu Xie stumbled and fell, and when he diverted the attention of the ministers, he handed over the secret edict to the nuns and took them out of the temple, but only to find that those temporary nuns had to order once a night, and they couldn't leave Beijing at all.

Fu Shou gritted his teeth at the end, anyway, he meditated in front of the Buddha, so he simply asked the nun to pretend to be himself and went out of Beijing by himself, the puja will end tomorrow morning, and Fu Shou can't delay too much time.

"I'm Yizhou Mu Liu Zhang, I don't know what the queen's will is?" Liu Zhang bowed to Fu Shou, Fu Shou shook his head, took out a black imperial edict, handed it to Liu Zhang, and Wang Xu took it.

Fu Shou suddenly couldn't cry, and struggled to kneel down in front of Liu Zhang, "Uncle Huang, please save your nephew, save the Han Sheji, and save the Liu family's four-hundred-year foundation." ”

"Queen, you are noble, get up quickly." Liu Zhang wanted to help Fu Shou, but he didn't move Fu Shou's shoulder, Fu Shou sobbed and said: "Uncle Liu, Your Majesty, he was trapped in the palace, Cao thief gave the emperor's order, put the Son of Heaven under house arrest, corrupted Gangchang, Your Majesty's life is better than death, the previous time Uncle Dong Chengguo raised righteousness, but he was defeated and executed, and Dong Guifei was also hanged to death by Cao thief."

Cao thief usurped the Han against the sky, heaven does not tolerate it, now the Han world, only the emperor's uncle is the Liu family's dearest, holding the male soldiers, His Majesty prays that the emperor's uncle can focus on the community, send troops to rebel, and save the Gaozu Emperor in danger, if so, Your Majesty and I are thanking the emperor's uncle......"

Fu Shou said and bowed, Liu Zhang hurriedly asked Huang Yueying to pull her up, Fu Shou's body was shaky, his hair was attached to his snow-white face, a lightning bolt came, and the white light shone brightly, as if he had unjustly killed a female ghost.

Liu Zhang couldn't help but feel sad when he looked at it, the four hundred years of the Han Dynasty, Gaozu slashed the snake uprising, Wenjing ruled the world, and the Han Dynasty opened up the territory, but I didn't expect it to be like this now, the dignified son of heaven was under house arrest, and the dignified queen wanted to kneel down to herself.

Fu Shou didn't have time, so he refused Liu Zhang's kindness to call someone to heal, and after Aguda finished taking the medicine, he staggered away and stepped into the rain, and his thin figure slowly disappeared into the white mist in the rain.

Liu Zhang looked at Fu Shou's back and sighed, and slowly unfolded the imperial edict in his hand, his eyes full of blood red.

"I have heard that the people are great, and the father and son come first; The difference between respect and humility, the monarch and the minister are the most important. The nearest powerful ministers are thieves, from the cabinet gate, and they are guilty of deception. Linking up with the party, corrupting the government, and rewarding and punishing are all not unintentional. Worried all night, I am afraid that the world will be in danger.

Qing is the pillar of the Han Dynasty, the emperor of me, the land of Jingyi, with more than 300,000 armor, can read the difficulty of the high emperor to start a business, entangled the martyrs of both loyalty and righteousness, annihilated the traitorous party, restored the security of the society, and eliminated the violence before the sprout, the ancestors were very fortunate.

Closed in the district toilet, panicked and broken, the edict Fu Qing, the nephew weeps and worships, don't let it be negative!

Jian'an five years of summer and July edict. ”

Liu Zhang slowly finished reading the imperial edict, looked up at the dark sky, and sighed.

Huang Yueying walked over: "What is the lord thinking?" Does the lord regret changing his will for the Northern Expedition? ”

Liu Zhang shook his head: "I just sympathize with the Han family, have mercy, the great Han, has fallen to this, looking at this edict, it is like seeing the scene of my imperial nephew's nervous finger blood edict at night, the Son of Heaven, the Son of Heaven is as fine as dust." ”

Huang Yueying was silent for a while and said: "The Han Dynasty has today, it is difficult to return, it is caused by three generations of faint monarchs, the lord is the uncle of the Han Emperor, he should serve the Guangwu Emperor, the Zhongxing Han, the shame of the Han family today, he will return to Cao thief ten times a day." ”

"The shame of the Han family today, he will pay back ten times the Cao thief every day." Liu Zhang read a sentence, squeezed the imperial edict violently, and crumpled it into a ball, not for the emperor Liu Xie, but for the collapse of the country and the death of the people.

It strengthened Liu Zhang's determination to re-establish the Han Dynasty.

………… It was already midnight when Liu Zhang returned to Xiangyang, and asked Wang Xu to pass on the order, tomorrow to note all the civil and military forces of the Sichuan army, and then the great vassals would work, which also heralded the complete end of the battle of Jingzhou.

After running around for days, Liu Zhang was a little sleepy, and was about to fall asleep in loose clothes, when Huang Yueying pushed the door directly and walked in.

Liu Zhang is only wearing thin clothes, but it feels very natural, if Huang Yueying is a beauty, or as long as she looks average, Liu Zhang will definitely wear good clothes, but Liu Zhang can't treat Huang Yueying as a woman.

Huang Yueying saw Liu Zhang come in, but she didn't mean to dress at all, she was very dissatisfied, scolded "a guy who judges people by their appearance", and sat on the side of Liu Zhang's bed.

"Yueying, it's so late, what's the matter?" Liu Zhang wrapped himself in a quilt, raised his upper body with a pillow, and leaned comfortably against the wall.

Huang Yueying clapped her hands, and the two sergeants walked in with a basket and put it in front of the couch, which was either bamboo slips or books.

After the two sergeants went out, Huang Yueying picked up the heavy basket and poured all the bamboo slips and books inside on Liu Zhang's couch.

"My lord, here are the notes I wrote in Huangjiawan, and some of them were written after entering the Sichuan army, mainly in internal affairs, I think I should be better at internal affairs, and I am not good at military diplomacy, and the most lacking thing for the lord and the Sichuan army is also internal affairs.

Yueying has a point of view, cast with iron, not afraid of ten thousand arrows piercing the heart. To do anything, you must be strong yourself, if you always calculate others, want to defeat the strong with the weak, the calculation is likely to have an accident, and in the end there is no return. ”

Liu Zhang sweated in his heart, wiped out 50,000 Cao troops in two battles, killed the general Le Jin, Huang Yueying's reputation has shocked the world, and even said that he is not good at military affairs, and easily persuaded Huang Zu to surrender tens of thousands of sailors and armies, and he is not good at diplomacy.

Huang Yueying is so good at internal affairs?

Liu Zhang picked up a book, which was full of words written with a fountain pen, compact and beautiful, one by one, the submissions were almost meticulous to every corner, and it was rumored that Zhuge Liang would bow down to everything, but Huang Yueying could be described as meticulous.

Huang Yueying said: "Lord, if today, the lord has the advantage of Jingyi Erzhou, as long as our internal affairs rise rapidly, even if the north is unified, we have nothing to fear."

Under the rule of the Lord, the biggest problem today is none other than three aspects: people's support, talent, and money.

First, the hearts of the people, whether it is Jingzhou or Yizhou, the hearts of the people are roughly towards the lord, but the hearts of the clan are seriously deviated, and it is the clan that holds the absolute power.

If it goes on like this, and his clan is in turmoil every day, the lord doesn't have to count on the people to help you, they don't have that ability, and they don't have that consciousness to say something unpleasant.

The second is talent, the lord has a solid foundation in Yizhou, even if there are Jiangzhou and Hanzhong, there is no shortage of officials, but Jingzhou officials are seriously insufficient, many officials are a number of posts, some remote places, there are no officials to send at all, can only be controlled by county officials, and the rule is completely abolished.

And I dare to boldly say that there are few magistrates in Jingzhou who are truly loyal to the lord, and most of the officials are from the clan, and those who are truly loyal to the clan are difficult to take refuge in the lord, and those who serve are all crooked melons and cracked dates, and have bad conduct.

The most critical thing is that we do not have a reserve of officials.

The third is money and grain, Yizhou and Jingzhou, both suitable for growing grain, but Jingzhou encountered a great disaster, and supported our army to fight in the east and west, and the grain and grass have been exhausted, and the people are hungry.

The people are the most realistic, maybe they support the lord now, but if they continue to have enough to eat like this, they will definitely complain and even be instigated to rebel.

Solving the problem of feeding the people is the first priority, and the second is to store grain for our future expedition to Liangzhou. This requires a large amount of grain, as well as a large number of grain-producing areas and grain-growing farmers.

In view of these three points, I suggest three strategies to the lord.

Let's talk about money and grain first, money and grain are the foundation of conquest and stable rule, to obtain money and grain, it is necessary to rely on commerce and planting, the lord and the public prosper, money is not to worry, but commerce itself is based on surplus goods, if there is no surplus goods, commerce will not flourish. Not to mention that you can't even eat enough, even if you have goods, who can buy them?

So the most fundamental thing is grain, grain output, from three points, farmers, acres, the number of acres of output, first of all, farmers, Yizhou population has not lost, Jingzhou has too many casualties, the number of farmers is seriously insufficient, my suggestion is to attract foreign farming.

It is impossible for the Han population in Jingyi Erzhou to increase rapidly, but it can lead the foreign people inward, and the lord will reward him tomorrow, and ask the lord to generously reward the Wuxi barbarian land, and it is a great honor to reward the land, and the barbarians also advocate Han culture, and they will be happy, and the lord will give a certain amount of support, and the Wuxi barbarians will be able to move out in large numbers.

This method is also suitable for the barbarians in the south and the Qiang people in the west, who live in poverty, and in the event of a disaster, they have no food to eat, so they can only take the risk of robbing the Han people, if the lord is willing to accept and give relief, they will come.

In addition, in the land of Sanfu, because of Liu Bei's entry, the armies from all walks of life lost the cohesion of Zhong Xuan, and the war began again, and the lord should use Hanzhong and Shangyong to absorb a large number of Sanfu refugees, all of which can be turned into peasants and soldiers.

The second is the acres of land, whether it is Jingzhou or Yizhou, there are large areas of empty fields, as long as there are more farmers, both barbarians and refugees, you can burn forests to open up wasteland, the eastern part of Yizhou used to border with Jingzhou, and there were frictions from time to time, so it was deserted, the lord should vigorously in the east of the tuntian, where there is enough grain output, can support Jingzhou at any time.

The third is the number of acres of output, I often go to the farmland, talk to many farmers, ask the farmers who harvest the experience, ask the farmers who fail to harvest the reason, and find that there are many disadvantages of farming now, such as intensive planting, vegetables and rice do not raise the field after harvesting, etc., these need to be supervised by the government, I have already written in the article.

In addition, I also invented the new waterwheel, pump, harrow, and new plough that I invented in the booklet, and I think that after these things are used, they should help in opening fields, raising fields, and storing water.

Cattle farming has been going on for more than 200 years, but not every household has cattle, and in many places it is still cultivated by manpower, which greatly affects efficiency.

As long as there is enough food, the people can eat enough, their creativity can naturally be brought into play, and with the support of the lord, business will flourish naturally, and money will not need to be considered. ”

Huang Yueying said, picked up Liu Zhang's tea on the desk and took a sip, Liu Zhang looked at the woman in front of him strangely, and didn't understand why this woman could hold so many things in her head, and the things she pretended to be in this era, those things that celebrities and gentlemen despised, and when she said it, it was like a mouthful.

Huang Yueying put down the teacup and continued: "The above is about money and food, and let's talk about talents, I told the lord, let's not count on the talents of the world, most of the truly loyal and righteous ministers of the world will not serve the lord, and the crooked melons and cracked dates that serve can only be used improvised."

However, almost all the talents are concentrated in the wealthy family, even if the Hanmen and the Shu family have talents, they are almost inextricably linked with the family, where do we go to find talents?

Talent can't be found, what I suggest is to create talent, but it is impossible to run a wide range of schools, there is no money, no time.

I think we can give those who have some knowledge, some popularity, some wit, and some ambitions, as long as they arbitrarily satisfy the same poor families and Shu clans, to teach them to read and write, to teach them to handle official documents and government affairs, and only teach these two, they are just a talent.

In fact, the so-called governance of government affairs is definitely not something that people who have read the Four Books and the Five Classics can govern, even if it is a group of peasant uprisings, if they can sit down in the world, they can still govern.

In the past, those ministers of the Han court, even if they were replaced by a group of staff in Cao Cao's mansion, they could still take care of the government in an orderly manner, and if they changed a group of lower-level people, I think that as long as they are familiar with the rules, they can sit firmly in the court, and even more efficient and honest than those lazy and arrogant ministers.

And most importantly, by doing so, we have a group of our own officials, and this group of officials, no matter what, will be loyal to the lord, why? for the people despise them.

Now the officials are basically from wealthy families, and those who are officials from poor families and Shu families are all from wealthy families, with few exceptions. Why? It is because the clan will not allow the simple Hanmen and Shu clans to be officials, they will crowd out these people.

And the lord appoints them, the temptation of power is something that no one can resist, the Hanmen and the Shu clan will inevitably flock to vote, and once the lord is defeated, it also indicates that they will lose their official positions, will they be willing? Can they fail to protect their lord?

Just teaching officials, although the number of Jingzhou officials is huge, they can still afford to use bamboo slips, but the most important thing for us is to train reserve officials.

Teaching the folk Hanmen and Shu clans, so that they have the ability to govern, not only can take over the current officials, but also ignite their hearts of power, so that the four imperial examinees will have scholars to help, and as long as the lord's power is threatened, their future will also be threatened, and they must be the biggest help for the lord's people.

However, to teach so many people, expensive and cumbersome bamboo slips are not possible, and paper must be used, because this move is related to the stability of the lord's government, so Yueying has already made different papers with various materials and methods before it was put into effect.

Now the finished paper, although the cost is low, but easy to run ink, and the thick ink will penetrate the paper, can only use light ink, some inconvenience, but make do with it, the master can call the craftsman room to improve.

With these low-cost papers, the lord only needs to order someone to write down the content to be taught, and then invite some young ladies or other idle people to copy the books and give them money, which can not only make those women work for the government, but also make them literate, which is also an additional effect.

Then use the copied books to teach officials, which can solve the situation of talent shortage.

Oh, by the way, the fountain pen invented by the lord, I don't know why there is no steel and no iron, but the writing is still extremely fast, but it is a pity that the ink cannot flow, and it is very inconvenient to shake the ink to write some words.

I didn't refine the ink that flowed, but only the ink that lasted for about half an hour, and the materials and methods were written down in the booklet, and the master could go back and let the craftsman's room try to extract the ink that flowed completely freely from the dye, and I thought it should be possible. ”

Liu Zhang listened to Huang Yueying's words, and was surprised in his heart, Huang Yueying's method of talent can be said to have uprooted the influence on the world, as soon as this policy comes out, the biggest reliance of the world will soon melt, and what has been cultivated is a group of bureaucrats who are completely loyal to themselves.

Perhaps this new bureaucracy is not as skillful as the officials of the world, not so tactful, and even inferior in moral character, but they must be the most efficient, the most energetic, and loyal, the most important quality of officials.

It's just that when Liu Zhang heard "copying books", he frowned and said to Huang Yueying: "Yueying, although copying books can be promoted, it is time-consuming and laborious, and those ladies in the boudoir themselves are illiterate, so if you copy books, forget it slowly, I'm afraid there are still many mistakes, why don't we print them." ”

"Printing?" Huang Yueying was puzzled.

Liu Zhang thought for a while, what he wanted to talk about was engraving printing and movable type printing, but he didn't know what to say, so he took his seal letter and showed the red clay characters at the bottom to Huang Yueying.

"The lord is really a genius, I said why the lord was able to invent so many strange things in Chengdu, and it is very useful, it seems that the lord also has a talent for invention." Huang Yueying was surprised.

Liu Zhang smiled: "We only need to make all the words into a model, every time there is an article, we will typeset it once, and then use rosin oil and other rubbings to make a version of the model, and then as long as the model is reprinted, but the material and the specific process are not mature......"
