Chapter 357: There is a successor
The lord's mansion was busy, the maids came in and out, bought clothes, and doctors with midwifery skills were invited to live in the lord's mansion and deliver babies at any time.
The entire Xuzhou force is looking forward to the birth of an heir. The development momentum of Chutian's forces was extremely good, and he became one of the princes most likely to unify the Central Plains. If there is an heir and the momentum of the development of the power is maintained, the vested interests of the various civil and military generals can be guaranteed.
It can be said that Chu Tian's eldest son is not only related to Chu Tian's own interests, but also the interests of all civil ministers and military generals.
Mulan took Joan of Arc and recently accompanied the cool summer to soothe the anxiety of the cool summer. At the same time, Mulan is a little envious of the cool summer.
Joan of Arc's eyes were rejuvenated after the cool of summer.
Chu Tian invited Fang Xuanling to play chess.
This kind of thing, Chu Tian thought that it was more nervous than marching and fighting.
He dared to lead the Tiger Ben Army to attack the enemy formation, but now the tension in the Lord's Mansion was even worse than the battle of Xiao Pei.
"Saying that Tang killed Yuan Shu and thoroughly digested Yuan Shu's population, territory, and troops, he would become my great enemy. The battle of Xiaopei has not yet been fatal. ”
Chu Tian and Fang Xuanling talked about the general trend of the world, slightly alleviating the anxiety in their hearts.
At present, it is said that Tang has become his biggest opponent in unifying the Central Plains.
"It is said that Tang only has Yuzhou, as long as the lord occupies the land south of the Yellow River, takes the Yellow River as the boundary, deploys a small number of soldiers and horses to defend, and concentrates the main force to attack and says that Tang, it is only a matter of time before Tang is defeated."
Fang Xuanling didn't care.
Chu Tian considered that Le Yi, Zhou Yafu and other generals did not participate in the battle of Xiaopei, and if they participated in the battle, the battle of Xiaopei would not be so difficult.
It was said that Tang had done his best in the battle of Xiaopei, and Chu Tian had only used half of the elite.
"Youzhou was attacked by Mingguan, Huma, and Yuan Shao, and Liu Bei was difficult to support even if he had many generals. Liu Bei, the pastor of Youzhou, may soon come to an end. ”
When chasing the Central Plains, Chu Tian was more concerned about his opponent in Hebei.
After occupying the Central Plains, Chutian's goal was to attack Hebei.
Liu Bei was also unlucky, and the three major princes all wanted to carve up his territory. Yuan Shao wanted to unify the nine counties of Jizhou, Mingguan wanted to enter Youzhou, and Hu Ma wanted to seize Dai County and expand his sphere of influence.
"It is difficult for Prince Yan to resist the Ming Pass, and the lord can recruit him and annex his civil and military generals."
Fang Xuanling concluded that Prince Yan and Gongsun Zan would not be able to stop the Liaodong Army from entering Youzhou.
According to the information obtained by the Chutian forces, Mingguan mobilized 100 good generals and more than 200,000 soldiers and horses to attack Youbeiping County.
"I want to arrange for Prince Yan to go to the prairie to develop, occupy a large local city, and use the teleportation array to provide me with war horses."
Chu Tian has new plans.
Youzhou is about to be lost, and only the nobles of Longxi are left in Chutian's horse market. In order to ensure the supply of fine war horses, Chutian promised Prince Yan a high-ranking official and asked him to flee to Mo Nan after the defeat to collect war horses for the Chutian forces.
There are many cities in Monan, if you build a large city, you can set up a teleportation array, and use the teleportation array to transport the war horses of Monan to Yanzhou and Xuzhou, which is cheaper than buying war horses from the Western Regions.
Chutian was also preparing for the conquest of the steppe. He needed Prince Yan as the vanguard of the conquest of the prairie.
There are also tribes such as players, lords, Xianbei, and Xiongnu in the steppe, and in Mobei, there is also the dangerous civilization of the Mongol Empire.
It was too late to wait until Chutian unified the Eastern Han Dynasty and started to operate Monan. He needs to have a bold and capable person to run Mo Nan in advance. As long as Chutian unifies Hebei, it can be connected with Prince Yan.
Fang Xuanling said: "If Prince Yan is trustworthy, there is nothing wrong with arranging it like this. ”
"Lord, Miss Xia, she ...... She's giving birth! ”
Chu Tian was just about to settle down, and the maid came to inform him, he was immediately not interested, and immediately went to wait.
Outside the house that is cool in summer, there are at least a dozen maids, such as Mulan, Joan of Arc, Xueyue and other women who are good friends with the cool in summer.
"How's the head of the house?"
Li Xiuning came back from Taishan County, and her friendship with Xia Liang was second only to Mulan.
"Lord!"
When Chutian arrived, all the women gave their salutes.
This time is not trivial, after all, it is the first time that the Lord's Mansion has experienced such a major event.
Joan of Arc's eyes were complicated, she already knew that Chu Tian did not plan to release her back to France, but the summer cold gave her hope again.
"If you have a difficult birth, keep it big and let it go small."
Chu Tian asked the doctor in charge of the delivery to be informed.
Parents are true love, children are just accidents, tools used to inherit the territory of the man. What really hits the world is Chutian and Cool Summer. Xia Liang's contribution to the expansion of Chutian's power can be ranked in the top three.
If you don't have a child, you will have another child in the future, if you die in childbirth in the summer, Chutian's life will not be easy in the future.
Chu Tian's advanced concept attracted the attention of many women.
Hua Mulan squeezed Chu Tian's hand and felt Chu Tian's nervousness.
It would be nice if I could make Xianggong so nervous when I could. Mulan touched her flat belly. Probably because of the long-term campaign, Mulan never reacted.
The lord is good to the head of the family. Li Xiuning was more concerned about the interests of Xia Liang, she saw that Chu Tian greeted him in advance and wanted to keep it big, and her favorability towards Chu Tian increased significantly.
As a player, Xue Yue doesn't feel anything, she is not considered a core high-level in Chutian's forces, but she is quite influential among free players, and she can use free players to collect intelligence, which has a special role.
Chu Tian restlessly paced outside the house, waiting for the result.
The atmosphere in the Lord's Mansion was solemn and silent.
A loud cry came from the cool room in the summer, breaking the anxiety, and everyone was happy.
Li Lan came out to report: "Lord, mother and son are safe, it's a male baby!" ”
Chu Tian's head was blank, and after laying a huge territory, he finally had his first child. And he is the legal heir under the primogeniture!
If this child can grow up smoothly and have the support of Summer Cool, there will basically be no situation where the sons will take the heir, because other women do not have the prestige and means to be cool in Summer. At the same time, Xia Liang is alone, has no family background, and there will be no problem of relatives seizing power.
Unless this child is a fool in the future, there will be no heir crisis in Xuzhou.
Chu Tian came to the room, and lay on the bed in the summer, his whole body was soaked with sweat, his face was bloodless, and his lips were pale.
Giving birth to a child is like going through a ghost gate.
Even so, in order to consolidate his position in Chu Tian's heart, Xia Liang squeezed Chu Tian for several months in a row before she conceived a child.
"Xianggong, it's a boy......"
"Needless to say, you take care of yourself first."
Chu Tian held the hand that was cool in the summer, somewhat cold, and couldn't help but feel distressed.
Xia Liang guarded Xia Cheng for him many times, and gave birth to his first son, the higher his status, the more he could hardly shake.
Chu Tian accompanied Xia Liang for a whole day, ignoring his son.
On the contrary, it was Mulan, Joan of Arc, Xueyue and others who surrounded Chutian's son, unable to put it down, and motherhood was overflowing. Li Xiuning, who is usually cold, is also teasing this little heir of Xuzhou.
Chutian's son is completely the second generation born with a golden key, his father is Xuzhou Mu, General Anton, the most likely unified princes of the Eastern Han Dynasty, and his mother is a high-achieving player, and he is a partial general, the actual second-in-command of Xuzhou.
With little effort, his parents can knock the world down.
Sometimes the difference between people is greater than the difference between humans and pigs.
"When will I be able to have a child......
When Mulan saw the cool children in summer, she couldn't help but want to apply yellow to the mirror, instead of continuing to fight in all directions.
After a while, Hua Mulan carried the little heir to the cool room in the summer, and let Chu Tian see his son.
"Sister Mulan, you are his little mother for the time being, as well as Sister Joan of Arc and Xiuning, you can recognize him as a righteous son."
In order to consolidate his son's position, Xia Liang took the lead in attracting a group of people who were close to him. Hua Mulan and Li Xiuning are the commanders of the Guards Legion, and Joan of Arc is the commander of the Servant Legion.
The three army commanders supported the heirs of Xuzhou, and the commanders of the other main army corps also had to weigh their own weight before they dared to persuade Chutian to change the heirs.
Chu Tian turned a blind eye to Xia Liang's approach, he knew that changing the heir at will would most likely lead to infighting, such as Yuan Shao's son splitting, so that Cao Cao could take advantage of it.
Since Xia Liang gave birth to the eldest son, then he was directly established as the heir, and with Xia Liang's ability, he could avoid the endless infighting in the harem.
At least Mulan obeyed Summer's cool words and there was no fight.
Joan of Arc has been cooled and submissive in the summer.
Li Xiuning is a retainer who is cool in the summer, and there is almost no possibility of betrayal.
Chu Tian doesn't have to worry about the backyard, it's easy, otherwise he might become the second Yuan Shao.
"Hmm."
Hua Mulan likes this child very much, and when she heard that she could be the child's mother, she was naturally happy to be overflowing with motherhood.
"Yoshiko?"
Joan of Arc was inexplicably tied to the Lord's House.
Summer Liang tried his best to keep her.
"There are successors in Xuzhou!"
The news that Mu Chuzi had a son in Xuzhou spread, and the military generals of the counties and states of Xuzhou had their own thoughts, but on the whole, the loyalty of the military generals of the above ministers has improved.
After Xuzhou had an heir, its power became more solid.
As a big businessman who thinks that strange goods can be lived, Mi Zhu can't help but secretly call it a pity. Mi Zhu wanted to push his sister Mi to Chu Tian more than once, but Chu Tian was always dismissed by Chu Tian because he was too young. As a result, the identity of Uncle Guo is gone.
"This is probably the best investment opportunity I've ever missed."
Mi Zhu deeply regretted it.
The heirs of Xuzhou do not belong to any family, the Xuzhou family cannot interfere, the Yanzhou family cannot interfere, the various families are powerless to control, and there is a summer cool behind it that has enough prestige to suppress the various families, and there is no turmoil in the Chutian forces, and there are not many signs of civil strife.
At present, the various families are basically on the side of the eldest son.
After the birth of his son, Xuzhou Mu Chu Zimou was even more partial to Xia Liang, specially increased his Yulu, increased the number of maids, and cheekily asked Chang'an to promote Xia Liang to General Fubo.
Everyone in Xuzhou was happy, but some people were worried.
Cao Cao knew that Chutian went back to Langya Kingdom to wait for his son to be born.
Now the rear of Xuzhou is firm, and the unlucky one is Cao Cao.
Chu Tian could free up his hands and feet to attack Cao Cao.
Chu Tian suffered a lot of losses in the battle of Xiaopei, and he was recruiting soldiers and horses with all his might to replenish the losses. He bought 10,000 fine war horses from the nobles of Longxi in one go to make up for the losses of high-ranking cavalry, and recruited Yulin cavalry for Wei Qing.
After returning from the Battle of Mobei, Chu Tian used his military exploits to exchange for a blueprint for the manufacture of Mingguang armor, and ordered craftsmen to build Mingguang armor and replace equipment for the heavy cavalry.
Mingguang armor can strengthen the impact of heavy cavalry, with horse lance, Tang knife, horse armor, Tiger Army, Tun Cavalry Battalion, Xiliang Iron Cavalry The combat power of the three heavy cavalry is stronger.
The blacksmith shop in Summer City is running at full capacity, crafting weapons and armor, and recruiting soldiers and horses in the barracks.
Chu Tian temporarily provided Wei Qing's Yulin Cavalry with an establishment of 3,000 people.
The Yuecai Battalion, Changshui Battalion, and Tuncai Battalion of the Five Colonies of the Northern Army each had an establishment of 3,000. If the fifth school of the Northern Army wants to be full, it will take at least half a year.
The Tiger Ben Army is relatively troublesome to replenish, the Tiger Ben Army is an eighth-order heavy cavalry, and the armor, weapons, and war horses needed are expensive, and Chu Tian still has a thousand people.
"Chu Zimou has a successor and grants his request."
Lao Qin, who controlled the Han court, agreed to Chutian's request to move Xia Liang to General Fubo.
Jia Xu and Lao Qin talked about the general trend of the world: "Chu Zimou's power climate has been established, the territory is solid, and if you want to conquer his power, I am afraid it will not be possible to succeed in three or five years."
The old Qin asked: "I have Li Si and Zhong Xuan to govern Guanzhong, Guanzhong has a population of 10 million, and there are 500,000 soldiers, crusade against Liangzhou, what do Wen He think are the odds of winning?" ”
Jia Xu said: "Four or six percent, the enemy is four and I am six." ”
"Why is Longxi's win rate so high?"
"Longxi is operated by foreign nobles, like a copper wall, and it is difficult for scouts to find out its details. Maybe the Longxi magnates have something to rely on. ”
"The trouble that Longxi caused me is no less than the trouble that Tang caused to Chu Zimou. I am more concerned about whether Mingguan has obtained Youzhou. ”
Old Qin was looking for a candidate to block Chutian from dominating the Kanto region. One said that Tang couldn't contain Chu Tian yet.
The second prince, probably from Hebei.
Youzhou right Beiping County, beacon fire.
Prince Yan and Gongsun Zhan were attacked by the Liaodong Army and were in danger. Gongsun Zhan led a team of cavalry out of the city to fight, but was easily defeated by the emperor-level fierce generals Chang Yuchun and Murong Ba, and fled back to the city in embarrassment.
"Chu Zimou's son was born, but it's a pity that I can't leave Youbeiping now."
Prince Yan wanted to go to Xuzhou, but Mingguan attacked Youzhou, and he was too busy to take care of himself.
"Prince Yan, if you are defeated, you can lead Gongsun Zan and Di Qing to Monan, occupy a medium-sized city, and develop it into a large city, establish a teleportation array, and provide me with war horses. In the future, I will make you a thorn historian, a general, and a liege. ”
When Prince Yan was unable to support him, Chu Tian reminded Prince Yan to go to Mo Nan to operate and conquer the Xiongnu and Xianbei tribes in Mo Nan.
"To the ...... of Mo Nan"
Prince Yan fell into deep thought.
