Tobu, ruled in Langya.

Judging from the map of the late Eastern Han Dynasty, the location of Tobu is about the Zhucheng of later generations.

Liu Chuang even found that Langya County, including the Langya County they wanted to capture, also belonged to the area of Zhucheng County in later generations. And Qianchen, Liu Chuang really didn't have any impression at all. However, if we look at the location of Qianqi, it can be generally recognized that it should be located within the jurisdiction of Qingdao City in the later generations.

Langya, coastal sea.

No, the sea!

Both of these cities, both close to the sea, can be used as landing places for pirates in Yuzhou Mountain.

Moreover, whether it is Langya or Qianqian, they are both small counties. If it is divided according to the hierarchy of the county seat in the Eastern Han Dynasty, it should belong to the lower county.

The population of Langya County is about 5,000 households, more than 20,000.

And Qianqian has a smaller population...... This is related to the size of its county, according to the fifth year of Zhongping, which may also be the last census of the Eastern Han Dynasty, the original population of Qianqian was about 4,327 households, and the population was around 20,000. It is smaller than the scale of Langya County.

Qianqian originally belonged to Langya County.

However, in the early Eastern Han Dynasty, it was ceded to Donglai County.

In this, there may be factors for the establishment of the Langya State. Liu Xiu, Emperor Guangwu of the Han Dynasty, was probably not willing to let Langya Kingdom have too much area.

Therefore, in Liu Chuang's view, the two counties of Qianqian and Langya are not enough to worry.

I'm afraid that there is only one place in Tobu Prefecture that really wants to fight.

As long as Dongwu County can be defeated, Langya and Qianqian will be easy......

"Childe doesn't have to worry, Tobu County's military equipment is lax, so there is no need to worry.

Please come with me 800 soldiers, I will send troops in the starry night, and in three days, I will be under Tobu Castle. Welcome Childe's arrival. ”

Tai Shici automatically asked for help, and Xu Chu on the side was also eager to try.

Liu Chuang couldn't help laughing, "Ziyi and Brother Tiger are so enthusiastic, how should I choose?" ”

"Meng Yan, we have been friends for more than ten years, so give me this work.

Ziyi has been with you all the way, and has made many contributions along the way. And since I followed you, I have not achieved an inch. It's a shame. ”

Xu Chu waved his arms and remembered to jump and shout.

He glared at Tai Shici and said, "Ziyi, if you dare to compete with me again, let's go out and compete."

In fact, you have a lot of opportunities to make meritorious contributions. Didn't Childe say that. After the occupation of Tobu, this Qianqian will be handed over to you to solve, so why should you rush for a while? ”

Looking at Xu Chu's blushing face and thick neck, Tai Shici couldn't help but laugh.

If he was ten years younger, he might compete with Xu Chu for this head. However, Tai Shi Ci is now thirty-five years old and has experienced a lot of things. It has long passed the competitive age. Since Xu Chu is so enthusiastic, let's give him this head.

What's more, Xu Chu and Liu Chuang have such a close relationship.

If it is accurate, he should belong to Liu Chuang's henchmen. Tai Shici didn't want to have a conflict with Xu Chu because of this trivial matter.

"Since Zhongkang is earnest, then bother Zhongkang."

"Brother Tiger, it's up to you to see your means."

Seeing Tai Shi Ci retreat. Liu Chuang was no longer embarrassed, and took out a talisman with a smile. Give it to Xu Chu.

Xu Chu took the order without saying a word, but as soon as he left with his front foot, Liu Chuang said to Bu Qi: "Zishan, I bother you to walk with Brother Tiger."

He is sometimes too strong, and I am more relieved that you follow him. ”

The Xu Chu recorded in the history books is by no means a reckless man, but a very wise person.

However, under the influence of the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, Liu Chuang always felt that Xu Chu was a reckless person, and his personality gave people the feeling that he was somewhat similar to Zhang Fei.

Therefore, he sent his foot to accompany him.

If Tai Shici led the troops, Liu Chuang would not have made another move.

He did this, although he was worried about Xu Chu, but in fact, he was also selling a face to Tai Shici, so as not to make him feel uncomfortable.

Tai Shici smiled slightly, although he didn't say anything, he received Liu Chuang's kindness.

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

There are more and more people under his hands.

Whether it is a civil servant or a military general, there are all kinds of things, and contradictions will inevitably occur.

Tai Shi Ci is quiet, Xu Chu is brave. Bu Qi is scheming, while Lu Dai is cautious...... There are also Xu Sheng, Xiao Ling, including Huang Shao and others who are far away in Yuzhou Mountain. It can be said that each of them has a very distinct personality. Liu Chuang found that he had to learn the art of balance, which was also known as the art of the emperor. If he can't rally these people around him, no matter how many people there are, I am afraid it will not be useful.

This night, Liu Chuang took out the "Spring and Autumn" annotated by Liu Tao from the bookcase, and read it carefully under the lamp.

Because he has found that although he has two thousand years of historical precipitation, in this era, his precipitation cannot help him much.

Later generations often said that one step ahead is a madman, and half a step ahead is a genius.

The ideas he has may be good, but they are too far ahead of their time for this era.

In this era, there are too many geniuses emerging.

But the geniuses who really get a good death are probably only those people.

Liu Chuang doesn't want to be a madman in the eyes of the world, he wants to be a genius, but the difference between this step and half a step is too small.

is so small that Liu Chuang is also a little unclear.

The next day, Liu Chuang gave the order to pull out the camp and start the village.

He suddenly found that Zhuge Liang was riding a horse and following him, looking at him with interest.

To be precise, Zhuge Liang was looking at the saddle and stirrups on the elephant dragon.

"I heard from my sister, you designed this?"

"Uh, yes!"

"How did you come up with such a thing?"

"This ......"

"By the way, you said that the war horse nailed to the horseshoe, can it really be useful?"

"I don't know if it's useful, anyway, after the dragon is nailed, the mountains and rivers are like walking on the ground......"

"That's it!"

Zhuge Liang looked curious and began to chat with Liu Chuang.

"I heard that you flew across the dragon from the city head of Qu County that night?"

"Flying across the dragon?" Liu Chuang shook his head with a smile and patted the head of the elephant dragon, "If you say that it is a dragon, then I am indeed flying across the dragon." ”

Zhuge Liang had obviously also heard of Liu Chuang's so-called legend of the 'Flying Bear Descending into the World'.

Therefore, he followed Liu Chuang along the way. Keep asking.

At first, Liu Chuang didn't care too much. However, as he inadvertently revealed a few words of later life's opinions, Zhuge Liang's interest suddenly increased. He was like a child who encountered a fun toy, and he kept asking Liu Chuang. The cold sweat that Liu Chuang asked was dripping, and he opened his mouth several times, not knowing how to explain. Fortunately, in the evening, the soldiers and horses stopped to rest. Zhuge Ling called Zhuge Liang back, which could be regarded as letting Liu Chuang breathe a sigh of relief and feel the whole person. It's a lot easier all of a sudden.

I really don't know if Zhuge Liang in the future will also be so curious.

If so, Liu Chuang admired Liu Bei a little.

He rested in the tent for a moment, then picked up the book and continued reading.

Suddenly, I smelled a gust of incense blowing on my face and looked up. I saw Elk with two maidservants, holding a food plate and walking into the big tent.

"Why don't you rest?"

"What do you rest from sitting in the car all day?"

"Is Zhuge Niangzi's health better?"

"It's much better, Sister Gan is talking to her...... By the way, what did you say to Kong Ming today? I heard Zhuge Niangzi say that he praised you quite a lot. ”

"Really?"

Liu Chuang smiled slightly. He took a wheat cake from the moose's hand.

Dinner was simple, a pot of mutton soup with chopped green onions floating on top, which looked pleasing to the eye.

Of course. This is still not quite the same as the mutton soup of later generations. At least there weren't that many ingredients to use, so Liu Chuang drank two large bowls of broth and ate three wheat cakes. I stretched out quite comfortably.

Moose whispered, "That's a good start.

I heard Zhuge Niangzi say that Kong Ming likes some strange things the most. If you want to keep him, you might as well think more about it. ”

Strange ideas?

Liu Chuang had an idea. Something suddenly came to mind.

Perhaps, it will make Zhuge Liang interested.

After dinner, Liu Chuang wrote and painted at the desk.

He drew a sketch of a wheelbarrow...... In my impression, Zhuge Liang seems to be very good at this kind of thing. He once created a wooden ox and a flowing horse, and also invented many items such as a repeater. What exactly does a wooden ox flow horse look like? In later generations, it has become a puzzle, and there are different opinions. Repeater...... Liu Chuang is not a military enthusiast, so he can't understand the principle. Unicycle ...... It's a simple thing that makes you understand the structure at a glance. In fact, at the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, the prototype of the wheelbarrow had already appeared, called 'deer car'.

In the Book of the Later Han Dynasty, there is a story about a deer cart together.

In the story, Bao Xuan's wife and Bao Xuan pushed the deer cart back to their hometown to get married......

Liu Chuang is in Qu County and has also seen deer cars.

However, judging by its design and craftsmanship, it seems to be much more cumbersome than the wheelbarrows of later generations.

The wheelbarrow of later generations is more like a simplified deer cart, which can be made in batches, and the process will be relatively simple...... If this kind of thing is invented, it will not be regarded as crazy. And as Zhuge Liang, I am afraid it will be easier to accept such a change.

After Liu Chuang drew the figure of the unicycle, he drew a two-wheeled vehicle.

However, unlike the common two-wheelers of this era, he added a screw bar between the two wheels. That is, a spiral-shaped pattern is added to the axle, which can fix the axle to the wheel, so as to prevent the wheel from detaching from the axle.

The appearance of such a small thing must not cause much change.

However, for this era, it has an unusual significance......

After Liu Chuang finished drawing the drawings, he put them away and put them in a bamboo tube.

Even if it can't arouse Zhuge Liang's interest, you can use it yourself. This kind of inspiration doesn't just come by saying it, it has to be recorded at all times.

From Zhengrong Valley to Tobu, the distance is not too far.

Liu Chuang and the others did not walk too fast, and arrived at Dongwu County in the early morning of the third day.

Xu Chu and Buqi had been waiting outside Dongwu County for a long time, and when they saw Liu Chuang arrive, they hurriedly stepped forward to salute......

"Zhongkang, Zishan, a qiē can also be returned to the Shun lì?"

Xu Chu said with a smile: "How can the son say it, the small Dongwu County, if you want to take it, it is as easy as a hand."

However, with the strategy of Dezi Mountain, I not only took Tobu. The counties were seized with him, and now the prince has two counties in his hands. ”

"Huh?"

When Liu Chuang heard this, he was immediately surprised.

He turned his head to look at Buqi, but saw Buqiu smile slightly and nodded in acknowledgement.

Zhuxian is located in the west of Tobu County, less than sixty miles.

Weishui comes out of the mountain and enters Laizhou Bay in the north. Go all the way to the northeast from Weishui. Zhuxian and Tobu are right next to this river......

"On our way here, we already had a plan in mind.

I led a group of men and horses to feint and attack the prefectures, and then Zhongkang led his troops to ambush outside Tobu Castle. When Tobu Castle sends reinforcements to rescue the prefectures. Zhongkang took advantage of the situation to capture Tobu. And I ordered people to ambush on the bank of the Weishui River, and after defeating the Dongwu reinforcements, the counties surrendered without a fight. ”

Bu Qi, to put it mildly.

Zhuge Liang on the side couldn't help nodding secretly.

The counties are not large, and their scale is even smaller than that of Langya County, with a population of less than 20,000.

Its armament is in disarray. It is completely dependent on the protection of Tobu County. If the reinforcements from Tobu County were defeated, the prefectures would no longer be able to resist.

The key is that Xu Chu only brought 1,000 soldiers and horses.

With these 1,000 soldiers and horses, two counties were taken in a row...... Looks. This Liu Gongzi's subordinates are full of talents, including this step, and it is not idle.

He already believed in Liu Chuang's life experience, because Elk had inadvertently. Take out Liu Chuang's genealogy, as well as some of the herbs left by Liu Tao. There are these things. It is enough to prove that Liu Chuang's identity as the son of the Marquis of Zhongling is not an impostor. This also made Zhuge Liang's attitude towards Liu Chuang inadvertently change a lot. Langya Zhuge clan, how can it be compared to the glory of the emperor's relatives and relatives?

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

It was night, and the Tobu Prefecture was brightly lit.

On the day that Buqi seized the county seat of Dongwu, he ordered to go out to the list to calm the people and stabilize the hearts of the people.

In total, the county seat of Tobu has not suffered a military disaster for many years. Therefore, after hearing that Tobu was occupied by the rogues, the people were also very nervous. However, even when they got the news, the people who occupied the county seat of Tobu were not rogue criminals, but serious relatives of the emperor.

This also makes the people of Tobu County feel much more at ease.

"Have you ever encountered resistance to capture Tobu?"

Xu Chu hurriedly said: "The Dongwu soldiers and horses did not resist too much, but when they captured the county government, they encountered some troubles. ”

"Oh?"

"Unexpectedly, in this small Tobu County, there is also a hidden dragon and a crouching tiger.

When I was attacking the county government, I was blocked by the Eastern Warrior Cao...... I'm ashamed to say that guy is a cripple, and it took me five rounds to take him down. I saw that he was very skilled, so I couldn't bear to kill him, and now I put him in prison, waiting for my son's fate. ”

Can you resist Xu Chu for five rounds, and he is still a cripple?

Liu Chuang couldn't help but secretly marvel at himself, this is at least a master of the Qi cultivation level.

However, before he had time to inquire about the specific situation, Bu Qi said again: "In addition, Gong Liu has encountered some trouble in Qiwu Mountain. ”

"What's the trouble?"

"Just west of the Mt. Ngwu, there is a mountain called Gonglai Mountain.

There is also a group of bandits in the mountains, who are called thieves and are extremely cruel. The thieves of Qiwu Mountain seem to have some dealings with the thieves. Therefore, after Gongliu pacified Qiwu Mountain, the Gonglai Mountain bandits sent troops to take revenge, and it is said that there were 3,000 soldiers and horses. Gong Liu sent someone to deliver a letter, intending to fight with this gang of bandits, and by the way, practice the method of battle formation...... He sent a letter to ask for Childe's approval. ”

Shi Lian, want to fight in the field?

Liu Chuang thought for a while and asked, "What do you think of that Zishan?" ”

"Gong Liu's department is in need of a battle formation...... The big thief who came to the duke was just a rabble, and he was not the enemy of Gong Liu.

I think it's the best time for this boy to train his troops. If this battle can be passed, there will be not much difference between the Gongliu and Zhongkang departments. ”

"That means, agreed?"

Bu Qi nodded, meaning to agree with Shi Lian's battle.

"Kong Ming, what do you think?"

Zhuge Liang was sitting in the lobby of the county government office in Dongwu County, holding the manuscript drawn by Liu Chuang, and was reading it with relish.

Hearing Liu Chuang suddenly call his name, Zhuge Liang raised his head.

Although he was looking at the drawings, he also listened to the conversation of Liu Chuang and others. It's just that Zhuge Liang didn't expect Liu Chuang to suddenly ask his opinion, and he was stunned for a while.

Tai Shici, Xu Chu, Xu Sheng, Lu Dai and Bu Qi, five people, ten eyes focused on Zhuge Liang at once.

He suddenly became nervous, hesitated for a moment, and then said softly: "Walking on one foot is better than walking on two legs."

This General Xu is certainly brave, and his sons are also fierce. But when Childe enters the North Sea in the future, I am afraid that there will be constant wars. I don't want to let General Xu make a move...... Mr. Bu is right, since there is such an opportunity, then simply train the other foot. ”

Except for being a little nervous at first, Zhuge Liang quickly calmed down.

Although there is still a little immaturity on his face, he can't help but be amazed by the eloquent bearing, even Bu Qi and Lu Dai.

"In that case, herald Gong Liu, let him give me all the thieves to destroy the Gong."

"Whoa!"

"In addition, since we have already captured Dongwu, when will we make a move on Qianqian and Langya?"

"This ...... It's best not to rush too much. ”

Bu Qi pondered for a moment and said softly, "Although we have taken Tobu, we have not yet fully controlled it.

Moreover, Gongliu's soldiers and horses have not yet returned, so they boldly attacked, for fear that their troops would be scattered. At the same time, I thought it would be better to observe first, see how the North Sea side reacts, and then make a calculation. The seizure of Beihai will not happen overnight, and Childe does not need to be too anxious. ”

Liu Chuang thinks about it, it seems to be the same truth.

He has a total of four battalions of soldiers and horses in his hands, and the combat effectiveness of the baggage battalion basically does not need to be considered, and Tai Shici's Danyang Iron Cavalry must also be used carefully. The rest are the soldiers and horses of Xu Chu and Shi Lian. Shi Jian trained in Yunting, and it seemed that Xu Chu's battalion of soldiers and horses alone was indeed a little insufficient. In addition, the counties should also send people to guard them...... Soldiers and horses are also needed. Therefore, before Shi Lian's department did not turn around, Liu Chuang also believed that it was not suitable to disperse the troops.

"Since this is the case, then suspend the use of troops by Qianchen and Langya.

Zishan, who do you think is better to send to guard the counties? It's never empty there. ”

Bu Qiu pondered for a moment and said, "The counties don't need to have too many soldiers and horses, only one battalion is enough.

This text is to the heavy camp in the palm of the hand, and it should not be moved lightly; So I recommend Xiao Ling Xiao Zisheng, I don't know what the son thinks? ”

Let Xiao Ling guard the counties?

Well, it's a good choice!

Liu Chuang smiled: "But I don't know if Ziyi can cut love?" ”

Tai Shi Ci laughed and said: "Stand alone, this son ascends to what he wants, how can he hinder his meritorious service?" ”

"In that case, let Zisheng go out of the towns and counties!" After Liu Chuang finished speaking, he stood up. He suddenly looked at Xu Chu, "Brother Tiger, what is the name of the person you captured?" ”
