At the beginning of December, Youzhou ushered in a heavy snowfall.

Liu Chuang arrived in Sanggan.

This Sanggan, located at the confluence of Yishui and Zhishui, the river has already frozen in the middle of winter.

After Xun Chen arrived in Sanggan, he entered the city early to rest. It's no wonder, after all, he is old, and he has been fighting in Wuyuan since September, and the three-month fierce battle is indeed a little exhausting for Xun Chen. Now, Yunzhong has taken over for Tian Yu, and Xun Chen has finally relaxed.

He left Yunzhong with his family, joined Liu Chuang in Ning County, and then set off for Zhuo County.

Liu Chuang could see that Xun Chen's love was not very good, and he was even a little depressed.

Liu Chuang has more or less understanding of his father-in-law. Although he helped himself to raise troops, in a certain way, he betrayed Yuan Shao.

Of course, Xun Chen didn't feel guilty for betraying Yuan Shao, but he just felt uncomfortable.

At the beginning, he and Xun Yu had their own opinions.

Xun Yu believes that Yuan Shao is not a Ming monarch who has achieved great things, while Xun Chen believes that Yuan Shao was born as the third prince of the fourth dynasty and will become a great thing in Hebei.

Outcome......

Cao Cao is now serving the Son of Heaven to order the princes, win more with less, and defeat Yuan Shao in Guandu.

Doesn't this show that Xun Yu's choice was correct back then, but his choice was wrong? Xun Yu initially assisted Yuan Shao, but later thought that Yuan Shao was not the master, and even turned against Xun Chen and left Hebei. At that time, Xun Chen said that the person who can revive the Han dynasty must be Yuan Shao. But Xun Yu said that he would find a Ming monarch who could truly revive the Han Dynasty, and when the time came, Xun Chen's vision would be proved wrong......

At Xun Chen's age, fame and fortune are no longer important.

But this face ...... In particular, the face between brothers is particularly important.

Xun Chen raised troops against Yuan Shao, which shows that he fell behind in the dispute between him and Xun Yu at the beginning.

So, on the way back to Zhuojun. Xun Chen was sullen.

Liu Chuang knew that Xun Chen was in a bad mood, so he didn't bother him, and after arriving in Sanggan, he went out of the city to inspect accompanied by Han Heng.

In the middle of winter, the city of Sangan is desolate.

But I saw a vast wilderness, and everything was lonely.

After Liu Chuang made a round of inspections, he returned to Sanggan County. On the way back, he carefully inquired about Han Heng and ordered Han Heng to start preparations. In the coming year, agriculture will be opened. Champa rice was successfully planted in western Liaoning this year, and Liu Chuang is ready to start a large-scale promotion in Youzhou. However, this process will not be too easy. There are large tracts of fertile land in Youzhou, but unfortunately the population is too scarce.

Su's failure to fulfill the covenant also made Liu Chuang a little unhappy.

The reason why he wanted to recruit Zhen. It was to be able to warn Su's ......

However, the strength of the Su clan and the Zhen clan alone is still somewhat insufficient. Liu Chuang has decided that with the large production of Jeep salt in Guangludao, he will increase his support for the Elk family.

"Lord, the second son has arrived."

At the gate of the government office, Liu Chuang just dismounted. I saw Wu Anguo stepping forward quickly.

Liu Chuang originally planned to let Wu Anguo stay in the clouds and be the main general of one side, but after this year's experience, Wu Anguo led the army alone. Interested. According to him: It is too hard to lead an army alone, and the country is not a person who does great things, and he is willing to lead the horse and stirrup from the side of the lord.

This guy didn't even let a good general do it. I want to run to be a guard for Liu Chuang.

Liu Chuang didn't agree very much, but Xun Chen's words dispelled Liu Chuang's idea of persuading Wu Anguo.

"Yuan Ji is honest. Take the lead in every battle.

It's just that he is not the material to lead an army alone, and if he is forced to take charge alone, the gains outweigh the losses. Meng Yan, your status is getting higher and higher, and most of the people around you in the past have left. In the past, Heng Ruo Yuanfu followed you, and I was very relieved. But now, you see that there is only one Li Yifeng by your side, and he is inevitably a little weak. Let Yuanji go back, so that it will be good for you and him. ”

Liu Chuang listened to Xun Chen's persuasion and agreed to Wu Anguo's return.

Anyway, he Fei Xiongwei has to be reorganized, and Li Yifeng alone is really hard, and with Wu Anguo's help, he can save a lot of trouble.

Liu Chuang dismounted and handed the reins to Wu Anguo.

"When did Kong Ming arrive?"

"Just arrived!"

Liu Chuang nodded, and then walked into the mansion like a fly.

On the yatang, Zhuge Liang was wearing a red robe made of fire fox skin, and was holding a volume of "Shangshu Justice" to look through.

Seeing Liu Chuang coming in, he hurriedly put down the book and quickly stepped forward to salute Liu Chuang, "Brother, are you still satisfied with this Sanggan style?" ”

There was no one else in the yatang, and Li Yifeng and Wu Anguo were waiting outside.

Zhuge Liang and Liu Chuang were talking, naturally looking much more relaxed and casual, with a bit of a lazy smile on their faces.

"Very satisfied."

Liu Chuang took off the big gun, threw it on the seat next to him, and motioned for Zhuge Liang to sit down.

"In Dadai County, there are only 20,000 households in eleven cities, and the population is more than 100,000...... Kong Ming, if this is in Yuzhou or Yizhou, or in Qingzhou, Jizhou, that is, the population of two or three cities. I came all the way from Ningxian, and my eyes were barren, and many times there were no people for hundreds of miles.

With such a thin population, how can you make a career?

In particular, the population of Ueya County is even more sparse, and I feel a little uncomfortable in my heart.

Think about how prosperous my Han was back then, and how did I become so unbearable now? Population, without population, is difficult to grow after all. ”

The battle of Guandu has come to an end.

Yuan Shao returned to Yecheng to recuperate, while Cao Cao was also reorganizing his soldiers and horses.

Liu Chuang knows very well what kind of situation he will face next...... Although he won Youzhou, compared with Yuan Shao, the difference is too big after all.

Zhuge Liang said: "Brother, why should you be like this, dominating Youzhou in just one year and becoming a prince is already a career that many people will find difficult to do in their lifetime." Although the population of Youzhou is not large, it is not a problem. Liang thought that his brother didn't need to rush to expand now, and he should first stabilize his foundation. After all, although we have captured Youzhou, our control over Youzhou is not enough to start a war. ”

Liu Chuang, why don't you want to recuperate.

He also wants to digest Youzhou well and completely control Youzhou.

But he didn't dare!

Because he knew that shortly after the Battle of Guandu in history, Yuan Shao launched the Battle of Pingqiu again.

Liu Chuang doesn't remember exactly when he remembered, but Yuan Shao died of illness shortly after the Battle of Pingqiu. Cao Cao took the opportunity to enter Hebei.

Now that he occupies Youzhou, will Yuan Shao still launch the Battle of Pingqiu as he did in history?

This Battle of Pingqiu also has a name, which is the Battle of Cangting.

Liu Chuang thought that after he took advantage of the rise of the Battle of Guandu, he could temporarily relax. But when the battle of Guandu came to an end, he found out that the real crisis had just begun. Liu Chuang had a trace of fear in his heart, because he found out. History was moving on a trajectory beyond his control. As his influence on the era grew, some of the history he knew was changing.

"Kong Ming, has Ziyu gone back?"

"Well, I've already gone back."

Liu Chuang looked at Zhuge Liang. Suddenly, he said: "It's okay to get together with Ziyu these days?" ”

Zhuge Liang was stunned, and even though he understood what Liu Chuang meant, "I can't say whether it's good or bad, but I haven't seen it for many years, so I can't help but talk a little more."

He asked me to follow him to Koto...... Hehe, I didn't agree.

What can I do in Koto? Sun Quan is still too busy to take care of himself. Although he is valued by Sun Quan, it is difficult to be reused. Cheng Pu Huang Gai, the former minister of Sun Jian, didn't say anything, just said that Zhang Zhao and Zhou Yu left by Sun Ce, and Sun Quan could not abandon them. And Sun Quan is around. There is also a Lu Su, who is also said to be quite talented. He is next to Sun Quan, I am afraid that he will be ranked outside the sixth, let alone take care of him. ”

You can see it. The contradiction between Zhuge Liang and Zhuge Jin is not small.

And he is not very optimistic about Zhuge Jin's current situation...... Historically. Zhuge Jin was already in power in the middle of the Three Kingdoms. After the death of Zhou Yu and Lu Su, Zhuge Jin took power. He may be valued by Sun Quan, but at the moment in Jiangdong, it is indeed not his turn to speak.

Liu Chuang just smiled when he heard it.

Zhuge Jin wants to take Zhuge Liang away, it is indeed unlikely!

"Zhuo County, what's the situation?"

Zhuge Liang said: "When I left Zhuo County, Shang Yi was normal.

Fu Zhu stopped his attack on Yi County, but I felt that it wouldn't be long before he would make a move. This person is quite scheming, and he doesn't need to be a stupid person like Yuan Xi. So before I left, I also sent people to Yixian and Wuruan Pass, and asked Zhang He and Zhang Liao to pay attention. ”

Liu Chuang listened and bowed his head slightly.

"Kong Ming's worries are quite reasonable."

He thought for a moment and said softly: "I'm going to build the Zhengbei General's Mansion in Guangyang, what do you think?" ”

Zhuge Liang said: "Although I don't know why my brother wanted to build the general's mansion there, I went to see it, and it was an excellent place for feng shui." ”

Of course, that's where the imperial capital of later generations is located.

Liu Chuang wants to build Yanjing City, on the one hand, because it extends in all directions, north to Juyong Pass, south to Jixian County, east to Gushui and abundant water and grass, and west to Dai County can be unimpeded, which is an excellent place to control the entire situation in Youzhou; On the other hand, it's because of his bad taste. Think about it, the imperial capital of later generations was built on the basis of the city he built, how glorious is it?

"Well, it was when I saw that the feng shui was very good that I made up my mind to build Yanjing.

I have ordered my son's family to send it to Guzhu City, please check it out, if there is nothing wrong, I want to start construction after the beginning of spring. ”

"Brother, can you think about it, who will supervise it?"

Liu Chuang thought for a while, "Kong Ming thinks, how is Gongwei?" ”

"Meng Jian?"

Zhuge Liang said: "I have heard Ziheng mention this person, and he is indeed a suitable candidate." ”

Different from the original history, although Liu Chuang made up enough of Zhuge Siyou, in fact, there was only one Cui Zhouping who really became friends with Zhuge Liang. This is still because Cui Zhouping and Zhuge Liang went out of the same door and worshiped under Zheng Xuanmen. However, although the two are friends, their friendship is not particularly close. It's no wonder that Zhuge Liang followed Liu Chuang around, and he didn't have much chance to get along with Cui Zhouping.

And Xu Shu, Shi Tao and Meng Jian, are close to Zhuge Jun.

Zhuge Siyou, I'm afraid it's unlikely to appear again, and everyone's life trajectory has also changed......
