At the end of the second year of Xingping (the end of 195), the snow was fluttering, and it was another year of snow and prosperity.

After five years of governance, now Xiangyang, Jiangling and other places have been clear, no war and no bandits; To say that although Liu Biao is insufficient, but Shoucheng is more than wrong, not to mention that the night is not closed, the road is not forgotten, but most of the people are still okay to talk and laugh.

Outside of Jingzhou, the Central Plains, Yangzhou, Heluo and other places are full of wars, one by one the princes fell, and one after another the princes made up, which can be described as wonderful.

Although there was an additional Liu Xiu at the end of the Han Dynasty, and the little butterfly instigated its wings, it only played the slightest role in this big world.

Zhu Jun, Huang Fu Song, and Xu Shao are still dead; Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty still traveled between Chang'an and Luoyang; Cao Cao still unified Yanzhou; Sun Ce still defeated Liu Xuan; And the slightest change is that Gan Ning has already been under Sun Ce's command.

In five years, Liu Xiu's changes are very different

At this time, Liu Xian stood on the top of Jingshan and looked down, as if he was looking at the vast number of beings in the world, but he recalled the night before he went to Jingshan five years ago:

Five years ago,

After Liu Xiu plotted to defeat Sun Jian, he was favored by Mr. Shui Jing and entered Jingshan Academy to learn the art of war, Confucianism, and the law of governing the world, so he escaped the strangulation of the Jingzhou clan, but he was also confined to Jingshan Academy, but fortunately, he still has a few capable ministers and military generals to give him advice, and the most important of them is naturally Liu Bowen.

Liu Xiu still remembers the night before he went to Jingshan College five years ago, he had a long talk with Liu Bowen:

That night, Liu Bowen seemed to have guessed Sima Decao's intentions, so he asked him: "Lord, have you ever made it clear what path you want to take in the future?" ”

"The way forward?" He didn't react for a while, and he was a little distracted, but after thinking about it carefully, he replied with a smile: "That's nature!" Wake up to the power of the world, drunk and lying on the knees of beauty! That's what I want to do the most, hehehehe"

After he finished speaking, he didn't forget the thief and laughed for a while, until he seemed to see Liu Bowen full of black lines, he stopped, and said: "The eldest husband was born in troubled times, and when he held a three-foot sword, he made immortal achievements; For me, the future is naturally to help the world, the people, the country, and the world! ”

Liu Bowen didn't joke with him, but said in a deep voice: "Now that the lord knows his future path, does the lord know what his way out is?" ”

He heard what Liu Bowen said, and he also fell into contemplation: after a few days of observation, the situation he faced was indeed very dangerous, no one supported him in Xiangyang City, and once he entered Jingshan Academy, when he came out of the mountain again, he was afraid that the princes would be divided, the world had been divided, and there were no talents, and there was basically nothing to do with him. Thinking of this, he was a little big, so he could only look at Liu Bowen helplessly, and asked, "I don't know what Berwyn can teach me?" ”

This kind of major event related to life and death in the future, Liu Bowen naturally will not be careless, but has thought of countermeasures early, so he said skillfully: "The lord should know that if you want to govern the troubled times and level the world, the most important thing is to have a city territory, money, food, and talent army; Among them, the territory of the city is still a little too early in the situation of the lord at this time, and I will not talk about it first; As for money and food, the lord can actually start preparing to accumulate now; The military can also start recruiting in small quantities; The last talent, it is difficult for the lord to rely on the talents of this world at this time, so he can only rely on the so-called 'system' of the lord. ”

Liu Xiu listened to what Liu Bowen said, and then slowly analyzed and said: "Money and food, I know how to act, relying on the knowledge of my later generations, although the manufacture of glass is still a little difficult for me, but I still roughly understand papermaking, folding fans, tables and chairs, good wine, etc., plus some business methods in later generations, it must not be bad; As for talents, although the remaining members of the Yang family are still young, they can be summoned and can be used in a few years; There is only one army of soldiers and horses, I don't know how Berwyn wants to recruit it? Seems to be a lot of difficulty? ”

Liu Bowen smiled and said: "Doing business is simple for the lord, but the lord can't do business in person, you must know that the status of a businessman is lower than your current status, so you can't let others know that the lord is doing business; As for the army of soldiers and horses, the lord has forgotten that now it is a troubled time, and there are many homeless people and bandits, as long as the lord has money and food, he is afraid that he will not succeed without soldiers! ”

"It seems like this, hehehe"

After such five years of development, Liu Xiu has accumulated unimaginable money and food, and those tables, chairs, folding fans, good wine and other items have entered the gates of major families and have been unimaginably welcomed.

Compared with money, what makes Liu Xiu happier is naturally the development of talents; Originally, except for the few people of the Yang family who had been summoned, the rest of his talents were either old or young, but he didn't expect that later, Yang Ye actually helped him get another random talent summoning quota.

Since Yang Ye and the others won the battle with Sun Jian, they can be said to have gained fame and fortune, and their heroic fame has even spread far to the north; And three years ago, Jiangdong Sun Ce led the troops to invade Jiangxia and other places, although Liu Biao had sent Huang Zu to defend it, but Sun Ce's courage was better than his father, how could Huang Zu be an opponent, therefore, Liu Biao ordered Yang Ye's family to lead 5,000 troops to help Huang Zu, which repelled Sun Ce; After this battle, Yang Ye not only became more famous for his bravery, but even his ability to command combat was also known, so Liu Biao valued him; Until two years ago, there was a rebellion in Jingnan Zhang Xian, and Yang Ye was ordered by Liu Biao to command 10,000 elite soldiers to guard Wuling County and its two surrounding counties

And Liu Xiu's summoning quota also came from this, he really didn't expect that it was just that Yang Ye led the troops to occupy one county and two county seats, and he could also get a random talent summoning quota and two item summoning quotas.

Liu Xiu naturally used up this quota very quickly, but what he summoned was a middle-aged man, named Xie Yi, who looked to be in his forties, ordinary, without any characteristics, and even the name made Liu Xiu feel unfamiliar.

Liu Xiu thought that this would be a little person in the middle of nowhere, but he never thought that when he opened Xie Yi's family table, he found that there was an unusually powerful celebrity in it---- Xie Xuan, a genius military strategist in the Eastern Jin Dynasty, who could rule the world, make plans, and be better at leading troops, and the Beifu soldiers he trained were one of the strongest armies in Chinese history. Xie Xuan looks like he is only in his early twenties, but his ability is already terrifying:

Commander: 93+, Martial Arts: 70, Strategy: 90+, Strategy: 85.

In addition, Xie Yi also has six sons under his knees, including four literati and two martial arts, plus a famous daughter Xie Daoyun --- talented woman, which can be said to have filled the talent vacancy for Liu in an instant; It's a pity that Xie Xuan's uncle and Xie Yi's brother Xie An can't be counted in Xie Yi's relatives list and summoned together, otherwise it will definitely make Liu Xiu smile and crooked his mouth.

Although Liu Xiu does not yet have his own city territory, he is already full of talents.

And most of these people were sent by him to Xie Xuan, asking him to establish a water village on the shore of Dongting Lake, and accept the displaced people from all over the country sent by his chamber of commerce, and began to form and train 5,000 Beifu soldiers and 5,000 sailors two years ago.

Of course, such a large-scale Dongting Lake water thief training soldiers and horses naturally can't hide from the surrounding forces, but with Xie Xuan's talent and a few young Yang family generals, it is enough to repel most of the incoming enemies

Liu Xiu's thoughts drifted farther and farther away, and just as he was thinking out of his mind, a coquettish cry sounded behind him!
