Chapter 317: Big Shots Gather
"I suspect that Chu Zimou deliberately invited me and wanted to cheat my share of money."
Prince Yan, who was far away in Beiping County, received Chu Tian's invitation and had to come, this time, two hundred excellent war horses were given away in vain.
Even the teleportation fee for the war horse has to be paid by Prince Yan himself!
This is the first time that Prince Yan has come to the summer city of Langya Kingdom.
Generally speaking, it is rare for a liege to go to another lord's city in person, as they may be detained.
Prince Yan was not worried that Chu Tian would detain him, and brought Fan Zhongyan to Xia City.
The prosperity of Xia City is far beyond Prince Yan's imagination.
The current Xia City, with a population of more than 500,000, has a large number of historical talents, as well as special buildings such as the Han Le Mansion, the Confucian Temple, and the Stargazing Platform, and has a high degree of development. The Beihai Kingdom, Taishan County, and Donghai Kingdom bordering the Langya State are all the spheres of influence of Xuzhou Mu, so the Langya Kingdom is very safe.
Xuzhou Mu suppressed the surrounding princes, suppressed the locust plague, and there were follow-up people, the development momentum is very good, and the people's will is also very high.
"Compared with Xuzhou, our Youbeiping County is a bit desolate."
Prince Yan brought two hundred white horses, which caused quite a stir in Xia City.
Fan Zhongyan wore a scholar's green shirt and followed his lord. This time, Prince Yan was willing to pay a lot of money, also in order to leave a way back for himself. The north can't get along, and Prince Yan can still come to Chutian.
"Prince Yan, I heard that this guy of yours was beaten by Mingguan in Guzhu City, Liaoxi, looking for teeth all over the ground, it seems that today, it is good that you did not die in battle."
A hearty laugh came, and Huo An, the capital of the Western Regions, appeared, and he only brought nine war horses.
Huo An and the military general Chen Tang arrived.
Prince Yan is neither salty nor light: "It's you, who have developed well in the Western Regions." Although not many princes in the Guannai have paid attention to your development, I have always heard that you have almost unified the territories directly controlled by the Protectorate of the Western Regions, and are attacking the thirty-six countries of the Western Regions. ”
Huo An was seen through his careful thinking, so he generously admitted: "I thought that no one would pay attention to this desolate place in the Western Regions, and I wanted to hide it, but it seems that you still found out." However, the center of gravity of my power is not in the Kannai, but in the Kanwai. Recently, they were at war with the Dawan Kingdom, and these nine war horses were the Dawan horses plundered from the Dawan Kingdom. ”
"Dawanma?"
When Prince Yan heard that it was a precious Dawan horse, he couldn't help but look sideways.
Because of the geographical location, Central Asia is rich in excellent war horses, Dawan horses are the best among them, and Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty coveted Dawan horses.
Huo An actually brought Da Wanma over, which was enough to see that he attached great importance to this matter.
Prince Yan and Huo An came to Xia City, and Chu Tian met them in the Lord's Mansion. The two of them were the lords that Chutian met in the first epic battle, and now there is still a lot of territory. Huo An is even more dominant in the Western Regions.
Prince Yan originally developed well, but unfortunately he faced a strong enemy.
"This is Fan Xiwen?"
Chu Tian noticed the Wenchen Fan Zhongyan brought by Prince Yan. Although Fan Zhongyan is a civil servant, he has led soldiers and promoted Di Qing, which can be regarded as both civil and military.
But it was too difficult for Fan Zhongyan to deal with the cavalry group in Mingguan after all.
"Liaoxi County has been completely controlled by Mingguan, he owns Liaoxi and Liaodong, and the actual population under his control is quite large. In the battle of Mobei, I will not be involved. Perhaps, while he is going to participate in the Battle of Mobei, I can turn the tables around. ”
Prince Yan said his plan. His intentions are obvious, and Mingguan will also be aware of them.
"I have recently been targeted by the Great Wan Kingdom, the Wusun Kingdom, the Great Yue Clan, and the Kushan Empire, and skirmishes have broken out with them. I need to accumulate strength for a few years in the oases at the edge of the basin and some of the riverside areas, and at the same time suppress the small countries of the thirty-six countries before I can have the ability to march westward. ”
Huo An has become the uncrowned king of the Western Regions.
The vast majority of the princes focused on the Guannai and neglected the Western Regions Protectorate. As a result, the Western Regions Protectorate was dominated by Huo An alone.
Huo An said: "I heard that you have been suppressing Cao Cao, are you planning to eliminate Cao Cao?" ”
Chu Tian said calmly: "I just want to take care of Tuntian in Xuzhou, but Cao Cao hinders me from farming, so I can only eliminate him." ”
Prince Yan and Huo An were silent for a while, this excuse to eliminate Cao Cao was really true.
The lord's mansion is handling the matter of the lord's marriage.
The core figures of the Xuzhou forces can also take this opportunity to gather in the Lord's Mansion.
Li Guang and Du Ruhui's Taishan army went to attack Jinan, Qingzhou Assassin sent military generals to defend Dongpingling, Li Guang lacked elite soldiers, and could not overcome it for a long time, Chu Tian ordered the withdrawal of troops, and Li Guang's army returned to Taishan County to hold on.
The bigwigs of various counties came to Xia City one after another.
They don't have to worry about the counties being attacked, as long as they receive the news, they can quickly use the teleportation array to return to the counties.
This is also the first time that the military generals of the Chutian forces have gathered.
Zheng Zhilong and Xu Sheng's Fubo Army had captured the seat of Donglai County and returned to Xiacheng from the seat of Donglai County.
Li Guang and Du Ruhui returned to Taishan County, and then returned to Xiacheng from Taishan County.
Yang Ye returned from Xiaopei.
Zhou Yafu, Xu Rong, and Hua Xiong, who were opposed to Cao Opera, came back from Yanzhou, and he had not seen Chutian since Zhou Yafu went to Yanzhou to fight.
Chen Deng, Chen Qingzhi, Mi Fang, and Wu Anguo traveled from Guangling to Xiacheng.
For a time, Xia Cheng was full of talents, and historical figures were like clouds!
Even if Chu Tian only summoned the core figures, the outside of the Lord's Mansion was still crowded, and Chu Tian had to send soldiers from the Fifth School of the Northern Army to maintain order.
The generals who arrived included Le Yi, Zhou Yafu, Li Guang, Xue Rengui, Zhao Yun, Xu Rong, Hua Xiong, Chen Qingzhi, Mi Fang, Wu Anguo, Zhou Cang, Yang Ye, Zheng Zhilong, Xu Sheng, Zang Ba, Sun Guan, Yin Li......
There may have been more Wenchen who arrived, Fang Xuanling, Du Ruhui, Li Kui, Zhang Zhao, Zhang Hong, Lu Su, Wang Lang, Chen Deng, Chen Qi, Zhao Yu, and some Wenchen who could not even be named by Chutian...... In addition to the military generals of Wenchen, there are also some special figures, Lu Zhi, Zheng Xuan, Cai Yong, Kong Rong, Du Fu, Cai Wenji, Langya Zhuge family, swordsmith Mo Xie, and divine doctor Hua Tuo.
There are dozens or hundreds of historical figures gathered in Summer City alone, and the luxury of its lineup is unimaginable. Chu Tian's talents were enough to support the establishment of a kingdom.
These are the central figures of the moment. There were also Elder Li, bronze-level heroes Zhao Qi, Liu Sandao, Sun Liuwan and others from the previous Xia Village, who also received invitations.
Their abilities are no longer enough to be qualified for higher positions, but as the first batch of veterans, they have a good life.
There are also a group of Inhumans who have contributed to Chutian's forces such as Xueyue, and they have formed Chutian's secret intelligence network in the Inhuman group.
"You and Li Xiuning will live here in the future."
Hua Mulan handed over her mansion near the Lord's Mansion to Li Xiuning and Joan of Arc, and she planned to move to the Lord's Mansion to live.
"You ......"
Joan of Arc now understands why Mulan often sneaks to the Lord's Mansion.
But it doesn't seem to have much to do with her.
As the second Captain Eagle Yang, she is also eligible to participate in this feast, and she is only responsible for eating.
Li Xiuning is in charge of guarding Joan of Arc and also protecting the safety of the summer cool, so it is not surprising that he lives next to the Lord's Palace.
The subordinates of the lord's mansion went in and out, busy making preparations, and this time they were going to entertain a group of the most important civil and military generals of the Chutian forces, and for the subordinates, no one could afford to offend.
After Chu Tian met the two lords of Prince Yan and Huo An, he summoned each military general separately to inquire about the war in various places and confirm his loyalty.
Among them, the military general Xu Rong was the military general recruited by Xia Liang for him, and Chu Tian had not seen Xu Rong since the start of the national war. This time Xu Rong was recalled, and he was also able to check Xu Rong's attributes.
[Name]: Xu Rong
[Talent]: Diamond Commander (Cavalry)
[Level]: 80
[Commander]: 85 [Force]: 76 [Intelligence]: 71 [Politics]: 43 [Charisma]: 50
[Phase]: Calm
[Trait 1]: Strength Advantage (A-level trait, when the commander has more troops than the enemy, the attack of the allied army is +10%, and the morale of the enemy is +10%)
[Trait 2]: Ambush Advantage (A-level trait, when the ambush is successful, your team's attack is +13%, and the enemy's morale is +13% faster)
[Special Class]: None
Xu Rong's ability is not bad, when Xu Rong uses the advantage of his strength to ambush his troops successfully, his cavalry attack power can be up to +23%, and it can also make the morale of the enemy drop quickly.
If Xu Rong had the advantage of troops and elite cavalry, it seemed impossible to defeat Sun Jian, who had fewer troops, and Cao Cao, who carried a large number of new soldiers.
Xu Rong is not Dong Zhuo's henchman of the Xiliang Army, so there are no special troops, which also means that Xu Rong can not be restricted by special troops, and he is a cavalry commander of the golden oil type, where he needs to go.
is not a henchman of the Xiliang Legion, and it is already good that he can hold out for a while and then surrender.
"Your 'Xiliang Legion' only has 10,000 light cavalry and 1,000 Xiliang iron cavalry, which is in name only, but the establishment of the Xiliang Legion will gradually increase in the future."
When Chu Tian learned that Xu Rong had the advantage in strength, the legion could exert greater combat effectiveness, and decided to expand the establishment of the Xiliang legion in the future.
Originally, there were 282,000 professional soldiers in Xuzhou, and later the Taishan Defense Corps (40,000 people), the Beihai Defense Corps (30,000 people), and the expected Donglai Defense Corps (5,000 people), the establishment of Chutian swelled to 357,000 people.
The number of legions is directly linked to the population of the territory, and the military strength of the Chutian forces is still at a normal level. Eight counties are equivalent to one county to raise 4-50,000 professional soldiers, which is more than enough.
In addition to the 357,000 men, Chutian may also have to recruit the white-robed army for Chen Qingzhi, recruit the wolf cavalry for Yang Ye, and expand the strength of Xu Rong's Xiliang army, and the final strength may reach 400,000.
After Xu Rong retreated, Zhuge Jin brought Zhuge Liang to visit.
Zhuge Jin can thrive in the chaos of Eastern Wu forces, which shows that Zhuge Jin is a smart person, and he has seen that Chutian intends to cultivate Zhuge Liang. For the sake of the future of the Zhuge family, he intended to pull in the relationship between his younger brother Zhuge Liang and the state pastor.
"Fang Xuanling and Du Ruhui often follow me on expeditions, I don't know what you learned from Lu Zhi?"
Chutian arranged for Fang Xuanling and Du Ruhui to become Zhuge Liang's teachers, but Fang Xuanling and Du Ruhui often served as military advisors of the legion, and the person who taught Zhuge Liang the most was Lu Zhi.
Zhuge Liang replied: "Mr. taught me how to behave in the world. ”
"If you have time, you can also ask him to be your teacher. If you have any doubts, you can go to him. ”
It is difficult for top strategists to calculate each other, Chutian prefers to train Zhuge Liang to be the Minister of the Interior, and Li Kui is a qualified teacher of governance.
Zhuge Jin saw that Chu Tian introduced the next minister to Zhuge Liang and became another teacher of Zhuge Liang, and he could already be sure that Xuzhou Mu valued Zhuge Liang, so he thanked him.
"If you come out in two years, you can come directly to the Lord's Mansion and say hello to me."
Chu Tian wants to wipe out the Zhuge family, and he will not let Zhuge Jin leave.
"The younger generation is honestly afraid, and he will definitely be liver and brain in the future!"
Zhuge Jin saw that Chutian also attached great importance to him, so he decided to start working for Xuzhou Mu two years later.
Historically, the Langya Zhuge family had people in Wei, Shu and Wu who served as big officials and diversified their investments, but now Chutian wants to collect them in one force, so that the Zhuge family will only follow him, and he will be prosperous and lossy.
More and more people gathered in the lord's mansion, and Xia Liang and Hua Mulan in the backyard were dressed up with the assistance of the maids, and Xia Liang knew Chu Tian's preferences, so he redesigned and cut the phoenix crown Xia Wei.
She didn't know that the phoenix crown and xia veil she designed would be popular in Xuzhou in the future, and it would become another specialty of Xuzhou silk shop in addition to underwear.
For Xia Liang and Hua Mulan, this time it was just a formality, because they had already mixed with Chutian, and Xia Liang even had children.
Li Xiuning only turned a blind eye to this, and unless she was also caught in it, it didn't have much to do with her.
There were only more than 100 people invited by Xuzhou Mu Chu Zimou this time, and the scale could be said to be very small, but it still spread and caused gossip among many princes.
The princes are not concerned about who Xuzhou marries, but about how many big people are present!
Most of the big people who attended Xuzhou Mu have a background, and their quality is so high that there is no other family in the entire Eastern Han Dynasty!
Le Yi, Zhou Yafu, Chen Qingzhi, Xue Rengui, Zhao Yun, Li Guang, Fang Xuanling, Du Ruhui, Li Kui, Jiang Donger Zhang......
Any one of them is enough to be enviable.
The gossip about Chu Zimou in Xuzhou was not only circulated in the Eastern Han Dynasty, but also spread abroad.
It turns out that no matter which civilization they have, they are interested in gossip, which is a common interest of all mankind.
"Joan of Arc attended the wedding of the Xuzhou pastor."
"Don't mention the depraved woman, she's a disgrace to us in France."
When the lord of France heard that someone had seen Joan of Arc at Chu Zimou's feast, he was so angry that he burst into flames.
In the Grand Duchy of Moscow, Catherine led 100,000 cavalry to attack Petrozavosk, almost razing the city to the ground and executing another lord of the Grand Duchy of Moscow who resisted her.
"Chu Zimou of the Eastern Han Dynasty wants to get married? What does this have to do with me, I don't care, absolutely don't care...... The next time you see him, you must capture him alive and cut him off. ”
Catherine gritted her teeth.
