Chapter 224: Lonely Bamboo City (2)

Speaking of which, Zheng Xuan is Zhuge Liang's teacher.

Although Liu Chuang was prepared, he couldn't help but feel nervous when he heard that Zheng Xuan handed over this matter to him.

Before leaving, Liu Chuang actually asked Zhuge Liang. At that time, Zhuge Liang was very shy, but Liu Chuang could feel that Zhuge Liang had already seen Huang Yueying. When did you meet? Liu Chuang is not very clear. But it is speculated that it was the year when Zhuge Liang studied in Nanshan. At that time, Zhuge Liang had just returned from Xiapi with Liu Chuang and followed Zheng Xuan to Buqi. And Huang Chengyan took his daughter from Jingzhou to Nanshan Academy, and the two may have met at that time, and they are also very familiar with each other.

Historically, Zhuge Liang and Huang Yueying were an extremely loving model couple.

But now that history has changed, Zhuge Liang has not experienced such a period of turbulence and displacement that he should have experienced, and his temperament is naturally much more cheerful.

"Uncle Huang, there is no need to be embarrassed."

Huang Chengyan smiled, took out a bag from his arms, and handed it to Liu Chuang.

"I don't mean to force Uncle Huang, in this bag, it is a question that the little girl wants to give to Kong Ming to answer.

After Uncle Huang goes back, he can give this bag to Kong Ming...... If he is willing to answer, he agrees. If he doesn't want to answer, Uncle Huang doesn't have to be embarrassed. This is a matter of mutual affection, whether it is Uncle Huang or me, it is not easy to make decisions for the children. ”

Huang Chengyan has a handsome appearance and elegant demeanor.

This old gentleman is an enlightened man, and Liu Chuang immediately has a good impression of him.

It's just that he was very interested in Huang Chengyan's method of courting marriage. So he smiled and took the bag from Huang Chengyan's hand. Then he bowed down, "Mr. Huang gave advice to the slapping rod designed by my second sister before, and I am grateful." The slap rod and I are very useful. After a while. The second sister will prepare to carry out the practice, and ask Mr. Huang to give her more advice and give her more help. ”

"Shoot the rod?"

Huang Chengyan couldn't react at once.

However, he soon understood. The slapping rod that Liu Chuang said is probably the throwing weapon that Zhuge Ling designed for him some time ago.

At the moment, I was overjoyed, "What, Uncle Huang is also interested in this technique?" ”

"The world thinks that tricks are tricks, but they are tricks.

But in my opinion, this technique is extremely useful...... Mr. may not know that if this slap rod can be designed, it will inevitably change the combat mode of the naval army. In the middle of the river. The building ship is huge. Except for the collision. There are few other means of attack.

If the rod is successful, it can change the previous pattern of water warfare.

The increased aggressiveness of the building ship can make it more versatile...... Tricks? Hehe. In my opinion, it is the crystallization of the wisdom of our ancestors. I've heard it said. In ancient times, there were skilled craftsmen who made birds that could hover in the air, and made people who could serve tea and water. It's a pity that almost all of these technologies have been lost. The second sister likes tricks, and in my opinion, it is a fortunate thing, and I should pay attention to it. ”

Huang Chengyan's eyes flashed with a gleam.

He nodded lightly, and couldn't help but praise: "What Uncle Huang said is extremely true, the trick is not a strange trick, but I and other descendants don't know the mystery." ”

In my heart, I also changed my mind.

Originally, he had a plan, if Zhuge Liang did not agree to this marriage, he would take Huang Yueying back to his hometown in Jingzhou.

If Zhuge Liang agrees, he will also return to Jiangxia, after all, that is his root. But now, Huang Chengyan suddenly had an urge to stay. He felt that many of his previous whimsical ideas, if he could get Liu Chuang's support, might be able to become reality one by one.

"Since Uncle Huang likes this kind of gadget, I have a drawing in my hand, which I designed myself.

I'll send it to Uncle Huang to see if it can be realized. Hehe, I'm ashamed to say it, Jiangxia Huang's scholarly inheritance, but in my generation, the second brother Huang Zu is good at martial arts, but I like these gadgets. If you don't succeed in martial arts, you are really ashamed of your ancestors. ”

Zheng Xuan said with a smile: "Lao Huang is coaxing people again, you just say that you want to get Meng Yan's support, just say it...... It's really boring to make up so many excuses. ”

Huang Chengyan was broken by Zheng Xuan's words, his old face turned red, and he sat down suddenly.

Liu Chuang didn't care, found an excuse to ask Zheng Xuan for his resignation, and walked out of the living room with Yan Rou.

The two came to the construction site of Nanshan Academy, which was under construction, and Zheng Ren had been waiting for a long time, accompanying Liu Chuang to inspect the construction site.

"Xue Zhou discussed with me a few days ago and wanted to rebuild the dock in Leting."

"Oh?"

"Leting is located at the mouth of the Lushui estuary, about twenty miles away from the estuary, there is an isolated island, called Shijiutuo.

Xuezhou wants to rebuild the dock here...... Just rebuilding the dockyard at a huge cost. So Zishan's side has not answered accurately. ”

Xue Zhou wants to rebuild the dock, and Liu Chuang can certainly understand it.

This migration, if it weren't for the Xuezhou side to build enough sea ships, I'm afraid it would be difficult to succeed.

According to Gan Ning, the navy now has a total of 30 seagoing vessels, and nearly 10 seagoing vessels have been damaged during this sea-crossing and continue to be repaired...... If the dock is not built in time, it will bring huge losses to the navy. But Buqi's caution, Liu Chuang can also understand. After all, building a dockyard costs a lot of money and materials. With the current situation in western Liaoning, it is indeed a little difficult to support it.

However, the dockyard must be built as much as possible!

Liu Chuang calculated the gains and losses in his heart, gritted his teeth for a moment, and said in a deep voice: "Brother, you sue Xue Zhou, I am ready to rebuild the dock!"

But in the early days, I'm afraid the scale won't be too big, after all, we are now in Liaoxi, not Qingzhou.

After the dockyard was built, the first thing to do was to try to repair the damaged ships of the navy...... When the supplies are sufficient in the future, the dock will be expanded. ”

When Zheng Ren heard this, he immediately nodded in agreement.

Subsequently, Liu Chuang and Yan Rou walked out of Guzhu City and traveled south along Lushui.

It's close to the sea, with strong breezes and flying seabirds......

Liu Chuang got off his horse and walked on the beach.

Yan Rou followed behind Liu Chuang, silent all the way.

The two walked for about ten minutes, and Liu Chuang suddenly stopped, "Bozheng." You are a smart man, you should know the purpose of my trip.

Now that the situation in western Liaoning is unclear, I am even more difficult to gain a foothold...... I need someone to help me. Give me advice.

Therefore, I would like to ask you to go out of the mountain and solve the troubles that lie ahead of me. I want to gain a firm foothold in Liaodong, but I don't know how Bo Zheng taught me? ”

Liu Chuang's straight to the point of speaking. It seemed to be right for Yan Rou's appetite.

Yan Rou said with a smile: "If Uncle Huang wants to gain a foothold in Liaodong, he should first gain a foothold in Liaodong's vassal country, as I said to Zifang before. ”

As he spoke, he crouched down, took out a short knife from his waist, and quickly drew a map of the building on the beach.

The general location of the subject state of Liaodong is east of Yushui and west of Da Liaoshui, covering Jinzhou and Montenegro in Liaoning Province in later times. The entire Liaodong vassal state. The number of Han Chinese is extremely small. Five counties combined. There are less than 50,000 people. Moreover, the scale of the city is not large, except for Changli County, which belongs to the state of Liaodong, the population of the rest of the county is average. There are only seven or eight thousand people, which is similar to the population of Guzhu City.

But. In such a black land, there are more than 150,000 Karasuma people.

"Su Fuyan is the king of the cliff, and his heart is to the Han family.

Led more than 1,000 people, it is the largest force in the entire Karasuma, except for Badun, and was rewarded by Yuan Shao last year. If the imperial uncle wants to take the four counties of Liaodong, he must stabilize the situation in the subject state of Liaodong. Moreover, Su Muyan and Badun, because of the matter of Lou Ban, there were many contradictions. Uncle Huang can send an envoy to Liaodong vassal country to correct the name of Louban in the name of the Han family.

Lou Ban is the son of Qiu Liju and should be the successor of Karasuma Daidanyu.

But now that he is angry, he has Yuan Shao's support, so all the ministries dare not compete with him.

Justifying Lou Ban's name does not necessarily make Lou Ban immediately stand on the side of the emperor's uncle, but the emperor's uncle can take this opportunity to invade the Liaodong vassal country and gain a foothold. Fight against Liaodong with Liaodong vassal state, and after seeking to capture Liaodong, and then return to Liaoxi, you can succeed in a battle. ”

Liu Chuang's eyes narrowed into a slit.

He looked at the map drawn by Yan Rou, and he was also thinking about the feasibility in his heart.

"However, Liaodong is where Gongsun Du's lair is located, and the Gongsun clan has been operating in Liaodong for many years, how can it be so easy to deal with?"

Yan Rou smiled when she heard this, "With the power of the imperial uncle, would you be afraid of the Gongsun clan?" ”

"It's not a question of being afraid or not, it's that I'm weak now, and I need to be cautious every step I take.

If we fail to succeed in the first battle, we will inevitably suffer huge losses. Bo Zheng must also know that Liaoxi is barren and the population is scarce...... That's why I'm more careful. If I can't quickly seize Liaodong County and eliminate the Gongsun clan, even if I take Liaodong, I will be greatly injured.

Bo Zheng just said that he was seeking to capture Liaodong.

But I don't know, how to get it? ”

Liu Chuang's calmness was very much liked by Yan Rou.

If Liu Chuang listened to Yan Rou's plan, he would forget about it...... That Yan Rou would never say any further.

The more calm Liu Chuang is, the more he shows that he is bound to win Liaodong. At the same time, it can also be seen from his calmness that this is by no means a person who is easily hot-headed.

Yan Rou said: "Liaodong has a vast territory, with eleven counties under its jurisdiction, with a total of 65,000 households and about 380,000 people.

The reason why Liaodong was planned first was because the population of Liaodong was far superior to that of Liaoxi. It is a combination of western Liaodong and Liaodong, but it is less than half of the population of Liaodong. Uncle Huang went to Liaoxi and sought Liaodong, the gains outweighed the losses, and he would even startle the snakes, and Gongsun Du took precautions as early as possible; But if you go to Liaodong first, with the population advantage of Liaodong, Liaoxi can be conquered in one fell swoop. Moreover, although Le Lang and Xuan Su looked forward to the head of the Gongsun clan, in fact, their husbands Yu Guo and Goguryeo attacked very much. The population of the two counties is nearly 300,000, and as long as the imperial uncle seeks to capture Liaodong, the two counties will naturally be attached.

The only one who is concerned is Goguryeo.

As for the rest of the country, Uncle Huang doesn't have to bother...... As long as Uncle Huang takes Liaodong, Fuyu Kingdom will not have to worry. ”

Liu Chuang, listen to it with relish.

It's just that Yan Rou said for a long time, but he didn't say how to seek Liaodong.

However, Liu Chuang was not in a hurry, but was patient and listened to Yan Rou continue.

What Yan Rou is saying now is extremely important.

His familiarity with Liaodong was far better than that of the others...... With Yan Rou's introduction, Liu Chuang can be spared a lot of hands and feet.

"Gongsun Du is a cruel and greedy person.

If the emperor's uncle wants to take Gongsun Du, he should focus on a 'strange' character and surprise him.

The foundation of the Gongsun family is mostly concentrated in Xiangping. And he has been operating in Liaodong for many years, relying not only on the family's land, otherwise it would not be possible to dominate Liaodong for many years. Under the name of the Gongsun clan, there are many caravans that live by the sea. Named merchants, they are actually pirates, and in autumn and winter, they raid coastal areas and plunder merchant ships at sea. Its foundation was established in the Yu family. ”

When Yan Rou said this, she stopped and looked at Liu Chuang.

Liu Chuang closed his eyes and was silent......

The situation of the Gongsun clan was introduced by Yan Rou, and Liu Chuang generally understood.

He still did not say how to attack Liaodong, but in fact, he had already said the overall strategy.

Liu Chuang needs to digest the information provided by Yan Rou, and at the same time, he needs to sort out this information, and then make a unified subordinate.

This is by no means a short-term thing, although Liu Chuang does not have much time, he is not in a hurry at this time!

"Bozheng, you just said that you will send an envoy to Liaodong and join forces with Su Muyan.

I think about it, there is no particularly suitable person under the account, so I want to ask you to send an envoy to Liaodong in the name of the Son of Heaven, I don't know if you are willing? ”

When Yan Rou heard this, she hurriedly bowed down and said, "I don't dare to ask for it!" ”

What Lu Fang said is right, Yan Rou is still a person who is still interested in the Han family.

It's just that this person is very utilitarian, and if he doesn't see hope, I'm afraid it will be difficult for him to bow his head.

Liu Chuang knew that although Yan Rou agreed to help him on the mission, it did not mean that he would submit to himself like this. Next, if Liu Chuang can't show enough strength, Yan Rou is likely to part ways with him in the end. How should this strength be displayed? It's Liaodong!

If you take Liaodong, Liu Chuang can be regarded as gaining a firm foothold.

If Liaodong can't be won, Liu Chuang's so-called plan will be empty talk.

Liaodong, Liaodong...... Liu Chuang muttered to himself in his heart, this is not only his own exam question, but also an important exam question for Zhuge Liang!

"Since Bo Zheng is willing to help me, I am sure.

In this way, when I return to Linyu tomorrow, please come with me. When the time comes, I will send a team of men and horses, and arrange the navy, and send Bo Zheng to Liaodong by sea. ”

Yan Rou hurriedly bowed down and said, "Dare not be dispatched from Uncle Huang!" ”

The sky is dark, and the sea breeze is getting more and more violent!

When Liu Chuang and Yan Rou returned to Lonely Bamboo City, it was already dark.

A dark cloud drifted from the sky, and the air was filled with a strong smell of seawater.

Presumably tonight, there will be a heavy rain...... After Liu Chuang sent Yan Rou back to his residence, he took Pang De and embarked on the journey back to Zheng's mansion.

Boom, thunder.

Dark clouds soon covered the sky, and silver snakes flickered.

"Childe, why don't I accompany Mr. Yan Rou to Liaodong vassal country?"

On the way back, Pound couldn't help but ask for help.

Liu Chuang thought for a while, shook his head lightly and said, "Don't worry about Ling Ming, this time to envoy Liaodong vassal country, I already have a suitable candidate in mind."

On your side, I'll have an arrangement soon, so there's no need to rush things. In these two days, it is best for you to get acquainted with everyone first, and then wait for the dispatch. ”
