Looking at Zhuge Liang's still somewhat immature face, Liu Chuang was silent.

"What does Kong Ming mean is to take Donglai first, and then set Beihai?"

Zhuge Liang nodded again and again like a chicken pecking rice, and he said quietly: "Brother Meng Yan, you think you have won the four counties, what should you do?"

Anqiu, Chunyu, Chang'an, are all in the yin of Weishui.

Brother, if you occupy four counties, you will have to cross Weishui to garrison troops, which will inevitably cause the troops to be scattered.

The county wants to take care of it, but the county can't take care of it...... Brother Meng Yan, don't forget it, the reason why you were able to win consecutive battles in the first place was because you always gathered your forces in one place, so you could concentrate all your strength. If you really divide the army into four counties, I'm afraid that it won't be a good thing for my brother. ”

"Then what do you mean ......"

"My brother only needs to occupy the two counties of Yi'an and Gaomi, and is stationed between Weishui and Jiaolu.

If you enter, you can go to the next secret, and if you retreat, you can guard Yi'an. If you go east, you will take Jimo, and if you retreat west, you will take the three counties...... In this way, the elder brother can concentrate his forces and seek Donglai first. And Yuan Tan of Qi County, since Cao Cao asked Peng Xuan to be the minister of the North Sea, he let him stop Yuan Shao.

My brother only needs to guard Weishui, and he can be as stable as Mount Tai.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, the elder brother expanded eastward, and in less than a year, he would definitely be able to seize the thirteen counties of Donglai. At that time, my brother didn't say anything, and Peng Xuan, the Beihai minister, couldn't do it steadily. The most important thing is that my brother has used this year to gain a temporary foothold in Qingzhou......"

Zhuge Liang said that the head is the Tao.

Liu Chuang sat on the seat, bent his elbows on the table, and was silent in thought.

This Kong Ming is really like a demon!

It's a fifteen-year-old. Well, what a sixteen-year-old can come up with right away?

No wonder Sima Hui said to Liu Bei that the Wolong and Phoenix Chicks have to settle the world...... Feng Xiao, Tai Nima is far away, I don't think I can see him.

But this Wolong ......

Whatever you do, keep him.

If this guy runs to assist Liu Bei, where will I have room to toss in the future?

Thinking of this, Liu Chuang suddenly smiled and smiled extremely proudly.

Zhuge Liang looked at Liu Chuang in surprise, and said softly after a while: "Brother Meng Yan." Didn't Kong Ming think about something wrong and say the wrong thing? ”

Liu Chuang hurriedly waved his hand, "Kong Ming's plan is very good for me." Hehe. I just can't help but laugh when I think of being proud, it has nothing to do with you. But...... Kong Ming, I remember that you will soon be sixteen years old. Tomorrow I am going to implore the boss to let you stay in Gaomi and study. Zheng Gongmen, how handsome, if you want to come here, you will definitely get something...... Kong Ming, would you like to stay here? ”

Fifteen years old is a good age to study.

Of course, Liu Chuang wanted to take Zhuge Liang with him. But in the long run. will ruin Wolong.

How capable he is and how much ink he has in his stomach, Liu Chuang knows in his heart. He can instill some ideas for Zhuge Liang in later generations, but he is not capable of teaching Zhuge Liang. Not to mention whether this ability is enough, Liu Chuang's age. is only three years older than Zhuge Liang. In this case, he really didn't know what to teach Zhuge Liang, so it was better to leave it to Zheng Xuan to teach.

In the original history, Zhuge Liang cultivated Wollongong. Studying at Water Mirror Villa.

Liu Chuang doesn't believe it, will Zheng Xuan's level be worse than Sima Hui's?

Moreover, if he stays by his side, he can also have many opportunities to practice. The most important thing is to change the fault that he must bow to.

Zhuge Liang in history will bow down in Shu affairs.

Is it really that he doesn't know how to cultivate successors? Liu Chuang thinks that it may not be!

After Zhuge Liang, there are Jiang Wanfei Yi, and there are talents such as Xiang Chong, and he also specially cultivates Jiang Wei, hoping to leave talents for Shu Han. But these people were unable to save the fate of Shu Han in the future...... It is the trend of the times, but it is also a lack of practice. When Liu Chuang was studying the Three Kingdoms in his previous life, he had a small conjecture. It's not that Zhuge Liang doesn't want to cultivate talents, but he doesn't feel at ease.

took on the burden of the family too early and fled from Yuzhang to Xiangyang......

Zhuge Liang thought that he had a strong sense of crisis, so much so that he developed the habit of bowing to everything.

It's not that he doesn't want to cultivate talents, but he doesn't dare to trust others, so that in the end, no one believes in it except himself.

Liu Chuang didn't know if his conjecture was correct, but he hoped that he could correct Zhuge Liang's habit.

Zhuge Liang pondered for a moment and said softly: "Then Brother Meng Yan, are you also coming to Gaomi?" ”

"Hehe, this is natural."

Zhuge Liang suddenly smiled, "Since this is the case, I am naturally willing to study under Gong Zheng." ”

++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

Early the next morning, Liu Chuang took Zhuge Liang and Zheng Xuan to say goodbye.

After listening to Liu Chuang's thoughts, Zheng Xuan also nodded again and again.

Meng Yan's concern is indeed reasonable.

I didn't think it through before, and rashly occupying the four counties will indeed scatter your forces, but it is not beautiful. Since you don't have the three counties of Anqiu, then according to what you said, let's stay in Gaomi and Yi'an first. However, you'd better visit Wang Shuzhi today, after all, he is the high-secret order; As for the ...... of Yi'an"

Zheng Xuan pondered for a moment and said softly: "Yi'an Changzuo Ziyi is an honest man, he has a good relationship with Liu Zheng, you can let Zihe come forward to talk to him, it won't be too difficult to think about." After all, you have no merit now, so you can only temporarily borrow two counties to avoid being discredited.

I have joined forces with You'an Genju and others, and Liu Zizheng is also willing to send someone to Xu Du to play with the Son of Heaven.

However, this is by no means a short-term process, after all, there are still many things that need to be done to return to the ancestors and recognize the ancestors. I will prompt the court to reply to the best of my ability, and then I will make a name for myself with you, and you can settle here with peace of mind. Well, before that, you must remember to try not to conflict with Peng Xuan. ”

"Little nephew understands."

Zheng Xuan was a little verbose, but Liu Chuang could hear that his care for himself came from the heart.

Liu Chuang was also very moved in his heart, but he did not forget what he promised Zhuge Liang.

When talking to Zheng Xuan, Zheng Xuan seemed a little embarrassed.

He was seventy years old after all. To be honest, the energy is not as abundant as it was back then.

But since Liu Chuang spoke, Zheng Xuan couldn't excuse himself. In particular, Zhuge Liang is also a child of the family, his father Zhuge Xuan, and his uncle Zhuge Xuan are also quite famous in Langya County, and the Zhuge family is also a big family...... Zheng Xuan thought about it, and finally agreed.

"Meng Yan, you recommended Kong Ming to study, which shows that you are also a studious person.

I know that you lived in exile in your early years. I'm afraid Liu Yong doesn't have the ability to teach you, although he has the books left by your father, he doesn't think he can learn much. When your father was a gentleman, he was very eloquent. Praised by people all over the world. Since you have returned to your fathers, you must not weaken your father's reputation. Besides, Yingchuan Liu's family is known for "Spring and Autumn" and "Books", if you can't read these well, won't you lose your father's prestige? ”

Liu Chuang suddenly had a bad premonition, "What does the father mean ......"

"It just so happens that you are also coming to Gaomi, and you will study under my door."

"Huh?"

Liu Chuang's heart chuckled, and he couldn't help but feel big.

I just wanted Kong Ming to study, but I didn't say that I would also come to study......

In my mind, the pain I felt when I read Zheng Xuan's works in my previous life suddenly appeared.

Zheng Xuan is proficient in "Yi", "Shu", "Mao's Poems", "Etiquette", "Book of Rites", "Analects", "Book of Filial Piety" and so on. It is also the Eastern Han Dynasty. The most eminent exegesis guru. He was very rigorous in his studies, and if he really studied under him...... Liu Chuang shuddered.

"That's it.

When you come to Gaomi, you will live in my house.

Meng Yan, I know that this may be a bit difficult for you, but since you are the son of Ziqi. You must inherit what he has learned, or you will be laughed at by others. ”

Zheng Xuan said everything to this point, and Liu Chuang knew. I'm afraid he can't escape this fate.

I agreed to Zheng Xuan's request with great confusion in my heart, and even felt inexplicably sad for my future life.

If his entanglement is known by those who read, he will inevitably have to criticize him again. How many people in this world want to worship Zheng Xuan's door but can't, and now Zheng Xuan takes the initiative to accept him as a disciple, he still feels painful, it is simply a great crime!

Of course, Liu Chuang will not tell anyone about this entanglement.

After discussing with Zheng Xuan, he went to visit Wang Xiu again on the same day.

Who is this Wang Xiu?

In the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, he was Yuan Tan's subordinate, and he was not driven in Qingzhou.

After Yuan Tan's death, he was beheaded, and Wang Xiu ignored Cao Cao's order and wept next to Yuan Tan's corpse.

Cao Cao thus praised and said: How many righteous people in Hebei are there? It's a pity that Yuan's can't be used, so I dare to look at it squarely

Where is it?

After that, Wang Xiu was named Zhonglang General, and he never appeared again in the romance.

It's just that Liu Chuang didn't merge this Wang Xiu with Wang Xiu in the Romance of the Three Kingdoms.

The reason is that the sentence 'Hebei Yishi' made Liu Chuang always think that Wang Xiu was from Jizhou, so this Wang Xiu was from Qingzhou, and Liu Chuang naturally did not associate with Wang Xiu in the Romance of the Three Kingdoms. After visiting Wang Xiu, he found that this person was also an extremely talented person. In addition, Wang Xiu once traveled to Yingchuan to study, so his attitude towards Liu Chuang was also very friendly.

He asked Liu Chuangjian not to cross Weishui for the time being, and seek to capture the three counties of Anqiu.

"The three counties are barren, sparsely populated, and infested with thieves.

It is better to give up the three counties and live between the Weishui glue, one can avoid direct conflict with Peng Xiang, and the other is to expand to the east if you have the opportunity, take the east of the ink glue, far better than the three counties. ”

Wang Xiu's construction coincides with Zhuge Liang.

This also made Liu Chuang look up to him.

After discussing with Wang Xiu, Liu Chuang hurriedly visited Liu Zheng again.

When Liu Zheng heard Liu Chuang's request, he did not refuse, and agreed without saying a word, and said that he would go to Yi'an immediately to say something.

Kiss or not, a family, after all, they are all relatives of the Han family!

Liu Chuang stayed in Gaomi for three days, and then hurriedly said goodbye to Zheng Xuan.

Because, news came from Dongwu that Huang Shao returned from Yuzhou Mountain and brought information about Xuezhou.

When Liu Chuang heard this, he was also anxious.

The 30,000 pirates in Xuezhou are the top priority for him to gain a foothold in the North Sea.

So he asked Zheng Xuan to resign, but Zheng Xuan didn't keep him, so Liu Chuang asked Zhuge Liang to stay, take the Flying Bear Guard, and return to Dongwu.

However, before leaving, Zheng Xuan also made a request.

"Grace is now in his prime.

Previously, Wenju had cited him as an official, but because Yuan Tan came to commit it. Wenju fled the North Sea, and Yien is still white.

When Meng Yan returns this time, let him go with you, and you can also increase your experience...... Anyway, you'll have to come back later. ”

Zheng Yien, Mingren, Daimyo Zhengren.

He is Zheng Xuan's only son, and his actual age is twenty-eight years old, and he is thirty years old.

Liu Chuang understood that Zheng Xuan was worried that there was no one available in his hands. So let Jung in go and help.

If he really wants Zheng Ren to be a leader, with just one sentence, I'm afraid that even Peng Xuan will be happy to invite him. Zheng Xuanmen has a lot of students, but he is the one who can help Liu Chuang. Not too much. Most of Zheng Xuan's students are famous, or they are from a strong background.

Although Liu Chuang is the son of Liu Tao, if the court does not recognize it, it will not be stable for a day.

Imagine in this case, who is willing to work for Liu Chuang among those who have achieved fame?

It is impossible for Zheng Xuan to ignore the future of those disciples under him for the sake of Liu Chuang. So after thinking about it, only Zheng Ren is the most suitable.

Liu Chuang was grateful in his heart.

It's just at this time. Say something grateful. All look very pale.

He took Zheng Ren to Dongwu County at the moment, and at the same time, he was also thinking in his heart about what kind of arrangement he should give Zheng Ren so that he would not lose Zheng Xuan's face.

For this matter, Liu Chuang also thought about it for a long time.

After returning to Tobu. He first settled Zheng Ren, and then immediately gathered everyone together.

"Gongmei, what did Xue Zhou say about you?"

Huang Shao looks very good, but his complexion is much darker than before.

He smiled: "Xue Zhou didn't expect it either. Childe will actually kill back...... When I went to Yuzhou Mountain to meet him, he was also very surprised.

However, later Gongzi won consecutive battles in Xuzhou, which made Xuezhou even more yearning.

Last month, Gongzi defeated Langya soldiers and killed Xiao Jian, which made him even more determined...... Xue Zhou asked me to ask Gongzi for instructions, if the people of Yuzhou Mountain landed, where should they be? ”

"No!"

Liu Chuang gave the answer almost without thinking about it.

Qingdao in later generations, now it is not it, it is the best landing place in Xuezhou.

Of course, Liu Chuang can also choose Langya County as the landing site in Xuezhou.

However, Liu Chuang had to take into account Zang Ba's thoughts...... The landing of 30,000 pirates is not a trivial matter.

If Zang Ba has a misunderstanding because of this, it may cause the alliance between the two, which was not strong, to break down in an instant. Therefore, Liu Chuang can't choose Langya County, there is only no choice there. Now that he has access to the North Sea, his next move must be carried out as much as possible.

"Immediately send someone to Jieting, and order Tai Shici to lead his troops to force the Gushui and seize it."

"Then if Zhuangwu County sends troops to stop it, what should I do?"

Liu Chuang frowned, "Sue Huang Zhen and order him to lead his troops to station in Jieting to monitor the movements of Zhuangwu County."

If you don't move, you'll be fine...... If the strong force dares to send troops to obstruct it, they will destroy it all. Anyway, after the landing in Xuezhou, I will also capture Zhuangwu, it's just a matter of time. ”

When Buqi heard this, he immediately took the order and left.

Now Liu Chuang has 2,000 troops and horses stationed in Qiantun, including 600 cavalry.

It's just a small city, there is no danger to defend at all, and if you can't capture it, it's as easy as a hand. However, it is a strong county town, and the city wall is strong, if you want to attack it, I am afraid that many soldiers and horses will be damaged. With Liu Chuang's current strength, it is still a little difficult to seize the strong force. But if Zhuangwu goes out of the city, Liu Chuang will not worry. With the ability of ether Shi Ci, it is not a difficult thing to deal with the soldiers and horses of a county.

"Childe, when are we leaving?"

"Gao Mi has already said that Gao Mi ordered Wang Xiu to build a barracks in Liangdaoling for us to station.

As for Yi'an, I have to wait for Liu Zihe's news, but this is not a big deal, whether Yi'an Zuobo agrees or not, I swear to Yi'an. ”

"Whoa!"

Huang Shao said suddenly: "But son, now Xu Ziming has begun to start Tuntian in Dongwu and Langya counties.

Let's go north to Qingzhou, who will lead Dongwu County?

This is the pedal for us to enter the North Sea, and it is impossible to discard it lightly, how should it be arranged? ”

yes, who will Tobu Prefecture hand over?

Liu Chuang couldn't help but pat his forehead, this is a problem.

Buqi Lu Dai must be taken away, this is Liu Chuang's most effective strategist at present.

Huang Shao definitely can't let him stay in Dongwu, this guy is good at conspiracy, you can let him make plans to pit people, and govern the place......

In Dongwu County, there must be a person who can control the scene and at the same time reassure Liu Chuang.

"Is there a candidate for Gongmei?"

When Huang Shao heard this, he immediately showed a smile.

After Liu Chuang entered Xuzhou, he missed several battles because of his contact with Xuezhou.

This also made Huang Shao secretly a little worried, whether he would be snubbed by Liu Chuang because of this. Now that Liu Chuang is asking him for advice, it also shows that he still has a high status in Liu Chuang's mind. This also made Huang Shao breathe a sigh of relief, he thought about it, his eyes rolled, and he immediately thought about it.

"I have a candidate, but I don't know if Childe can be satisfied."

"Who?"

"Hehe, it's this time that I came with my son, the son of Kang Chenggong, Zheng Ren Zheng Yien."

"You mean, let Jung in stay in Tobu?"

"What does Childe think Zheng Ren can do?"

Liu Chuang thought for a while, and said in a deep voice: "Brother Yi'en has been taught by his father, so he naturally has talent.

And as far as I know, he is not only proficient in government affairs, but also knows military affairs...... Eh, don't say it, Gongmei, you say that, I also think Brother Yien is very suitable. In the future, Tobu County will mainly focus on development, and there will not be too many wars. And he is the only son of the father, and the father also lived in Xuzhou back then, so he is quite famous. With him as the commander of the Eastern Martial Forces, it seems that it is more convenient to deal with Zang Ba. ”

Huang Shao said with a smile: "If the prince is worried about the war, it is not difficult.

Just transfer Wen Xiang back to Tobu and order him to assist Prince Yien, isn't it foolproof? ”

Who knows, Liu Chuang's face sank.

"Wenxiang has other arrangements, and it is not suitable to stay in Tobu."

Xu Sheng, that's Jiang Biao Huchen, Liu Chuang is of great use if he stays, how can he be allowed to stay in Dongwu?

Huang Shao thought for a while, and said: "If Wenxiang is not suitable, Gongzi can order the Yuan Dynasty to stay."

In this way, it can also show that Gongzi attaches great importance to Xuezhou...... Wouldn't it kill two birds with one stone? ”

Liu Chuang's eyes couldn't help but light up, he pointed at Huang Shao, and said with a smile: "Huang Gongmei, I suddenly feel that Xue Zhou knows this guy you, which is really a big mistake in his life." You guy is holding back his mind and risking bad water, which is the importance of Xue Zhou, it is clearly for the proton. ”

Huang Shao was startled at first, but after listening to Liu Chuang's words, he couldn't help but laugh.

"In that case, let's get ready...... Pass my order, three days later, the whole army will be mobilized, let's go to Qingzhou! ”
