Chapter 340: Eight Legions, Progress in Research!

"Kong Ming, Bo Yan?"

Chu Feng replied and looked at the two.

I have to say that Lu Su's vision of people is indeed good, and at present, Zhuge Liang, Lu Xun, and Xu Shu are all extremely suitable to serve as the commander of one party.

And Chu Feng also intended to let the two of them take charge alone, but he didn't expect it to be so fast before.

At this moment, Lu Xun's eyes were burning and he was eager to try, he had followed Chu Feng for a long time, and he was also considered to have some qualifications, and his ability was definitely not weak.

As for Zhuge Liang, his eyes were blank.

It doesn't seem to be that interested in taking charge of a single army.

"Kong Ming, Bo Yan, what do you two think? Zijing is so strongly recommended, can you two have the confidence to lead the legion? Chu Feng looked at the two of them and asked.

"The last general will never fail in his mission!" Lu Xun immediately hugged his fists.

"Lord, Liang has no military exploits, no political achievements, and he boasts of some talent, but he has been promoted like this, I am afraid that the lord's subordinate martial arts will be dissatisfied."

"If the lord really wants to be promoted, he might as well govern the people of the Liang side first, and then promote him after he has political achievements." Zhuge Liang was reasonable, and he clenched his fists and refused.

Mainly in Zhuge Liang's view,

Chu Feng now has a lot of generals under his command, and he has nothing to look at, and at this moment, it is inevitable that some generals will talk behind his back.

"Kong Ming, I use people based on talent, not qualifications, but since you don't want to be the commander of a legion for the time being, I won't force it." Chu Feng said heartily.

"In this way, in addition to the research and development and the head teacher, you will also serve as the Taishou of Jiujiang and be responsible for governing the people of Jiujiang County, how about it?" Chu Feng asked with a smile.

"Thank you for the promotion!" Zhuge Liang clenched his fists.

"Ladies and gentlemen, there is still one of the eight commanders, do you have a suitable candidate to recommend?" Chu Feng looked at everyone and asked.

"Lord, how is Zhu Huan of the Zhu family? This person is diligent and loyal, and he is a member of the local clan, so he can give them an explanation if he commands a legion. ”

Zhang Zhao asked tentatively.

"Zhu Huan is calm, brave and strategic, but his ability is not enough, he can serve as a deputy general, and he lacks strategy as a chief general. In addition, the Legion Commander is not here to give an account to the family! ”

Chu Feng was slightly angry,

"The Lord is taught!" Zhang Zhao hurriedly apologized, a little panicked, Chu Feng was obviously a little dissatisfied with what he just said, and Zhang Zhao was indeed selfish.

"Lord, how is Nanyang's clerkship? This man is both wise and brave, has a lot of prestige in the army, and is loyal, guarding one side for the lord. ”

Lu Su asked tentatively.

"Wenpin is really good, this person is qualified to be the coach of one party, but at present, he is still a little less experienced, and his combat achievements are insufficient, and his ability has not yet been reflected, so he can be an alternative."

Chu Feng pinched his chin and commented.

He is recognized for his ability to recruit people, and he is both wise and brave, and he is a low-profile version of Zhang Liao.

"My lord, what about Wei Yan, the commander of your Central Army? His subordinates look at his courage and good fighting, and he knows a lot of military books, which is a rare good general, or can be done. ”

Jia Xu saw that Zhang Zhao and Lu Su had said it, so he had no choice but to speak.

"Wei Yan is impetuous, not calm enough, and he is a good person, if he is the commander of one side, no one will suppress him, sooner or later he will break into a big disaster, and he can't indulge it for the time being."

Chu Feng waved his hand, and he didn't think about letting Wei Yan fly solo at this time.

With his own pressure, he can sharpen his mind, and he will definitely become a great tool in the future.

Hearing that Chu Feng refused again, everyone was helpless, so they had to fall into deep thought.

Chu Feng also thought a little about this, and immediately said: "In this way, appoint Zhang He as the eighth army commander, this person is brave and good at fighting, and he is resourceful, and he already has experience in big battles." ”

"And he is the enemy's general, promoting this person will better destroy the fighting spirit of the enemy general, and can effectively hit the momentum of the enemy soldiers."

Everyone groaned slightly, and couldn't help frowning,

When they were thinking about the commander of the Eighth Great Legion, they didn't think about outsiders at all, Chu Feng dared to give such an important position to outsiders, this big heart.

"Lord, Zhang He is a general after all, if he can betray Yuan Shao, he may betray the lord, his subordinates are worried..."Zhang Zhao frowned, and immediately persuaded him.

"There is no suspicion in employing people, and there is no need to suspect people."

"If I keep it, why should I doubt it?"

"What's more, Zhang He was forced to take refuge with me, how can I be more suspicious." Chu Feng waved his hand, he was still relatively clear about Zhang He,

This person was the pillar of the late Cao Wei period,

In addition to the generals, the most qualified and capable generals, if Yuan Shao had not forced him to surrender, how could he have taken refuge in Cao Cao, the more trusting this kind of person is, the more loyal he is.

"But my lord..."

"Alright, I've made up my mind."

"The three army commanders were immediately recruited from all over the country or supplemented from the county soldiers, and the formation was reached as soon as possible. Xu Shu recruited troops from Jingzhou, and Lu Xun recruited troops from Yangzhou. ”

"As for Zhang He, all the old departments under his command are scattered, and they cannot be used, and they go to Danyang to recruit soldiers, and the people of Danyang are fierce, and there are elite soldiers since ancient times."

Chu Feng immediately arranged.

Since the decision has been made to expand, of course, it must be fast.

"Okay, this matter will be carried out together with the matter of going north to guard Cao Cao and the edict of the clothes belt." Chu Feng immediately made a decision, conscripting 60,000 soldiers, three legions, definitely not a few.

"No!" Everyone responded in unison.

"It's the Spring Festival soon, three things."

"First, we must ensure that the people's food rations are guaranteed."

"Second, we must ensure the spring plowing in the coming year."

"Third, do a good job in public security prevention and control during the Spring Festival to ensure that people everywhere have a good year and a bumper harvest in the coming year."

"Let's all go down and prepare!" Chu Feng immediately explained several aspects.

"No!" Everyone nodded.

At the same time, it is also a sigh, and it is the New Year again.

Time flies, but fortunately, I have a full and peaceful life.

"Kong Ming, Bo Yan, you two stay for a while, I have something to explain." Chu Feng looked at Zhuge Liang Lu Xun and said,

...

After a while, in a study.

Chu Feng looked at the two of them and asked, "How is the gunpowder developed?" ”

Lu Xun immediately said: "Lord, Kong Ming has developed some clues, but it has not yet met the requirements of the lord. ”

Chu Feng immediately looked at Zhuge Liang with absolute interest.

"Lord, I just tried a few more times according to the ratio that the lord said, and these things will instantly produce a large amount of combustion and even explosion when ignited in a confined space."

"It's just that at present, I can only blow up gently, but I am confident that I will soon be able to make a loud noise as my lord said." Zhuge Liang's eyes burned,

The reason why he refused to take charge of the army alone was largely due to this,

His research on this gunpowder has reached the point of forgetting to sleep and eat, and he is sure that once this thing is successfully researched and comes out,

will certainly change the situation of future wars,

As soon as he thought of this, Zhuge Liang admired Chu Feng even more, because this thing was developed by Chu Feng, and Chu Feng's knowledge was like a vast ocean, which impressed him.

At this moment, Zhuge Liang wanted to follow Chu Feng's side even more.

"Oh, you can already blow it up gently?" Chu Fengtong Kong lit up, it has only been a long time, Zhuge Liang has actually made some gains, it is really unexpected.

But the principle of gunpowder is really not too difficult,

The alchemists of the Qin and Han dynasties often blew up the ding, but they did not dig deep into the gunpowder.

"Well, my lord, Liang thinks that after this thing is masterfully controlled, maybe he can fill it with some iron pieces and so on, and the impact from the explosion can cause lethal damage."

Zhuge Liang gave him a suggestion,

He had heard someone say before that the gunpowder developed by Chu Feng before could only explode sound and fireworks, which was less lethal and somewhat incomplete.

"Haha, Kong Ming, Kong Ming, you are really a genius, what you say can indeed be realized. In the future, if you have any questions, please feel free to ask me. ”

"In addition, we must pay attention to safety when studying, these things are flammable and explosive, and should not be taken lightly." Chu Feng patted Zhuge Liang on the shoulder, and sure enough, Zhuge Liang's hands-on ability was indeed awesome,

It is recorded in the Chronicles of the Three Kingdoms that he made a profit and loss crossbow, a wooden ox and a flowing horse, etc., which can be regarded as epoch-making, and Zhuge Liang thought of semi-automaticism at that time.

It can only be said that Zhuge Liang's talent is too comprehensive.

Governing the country, fighting wars, and R&D are all first-class, how can such talents not make Cao Cao sleep?

"Don't worry, my lord, we will pay attention." The two nodded, Lu Xun studied this thing, obviously unable to keep up with Zhuge Liang's thoughts, it was not at the same level at all.

"My lord, I'm afraid that the last general will not be able to study it in the future, and he needs to be conscripted for rectification." Lu Xun sighed, a little sigh, but he was more inclined to march and fight.

"Okay, you can train the armor warrior for me well, so that I can take charge of myself as soon as possible," Chu Feng patted Lu Xun on the shoulder, his eyes burning with sincerity.

"The last general will never fail to live up to the trust of the lord."

"Alright, you go down first!" Chu Feng nodded.

"No!" Lu Xun retreated.

Chu Feng looked at Zhuge Liang and said solemnly:

"Kong Ming, this thing has been studied to a certain point, and your name Zhuge Liang will definitely go down in history, becoming the greatest person of the Han nation, and destined to make the Han nation stand on the top of the world."

Chu Feng said again, he is also researching, but the progress is far inferior to Zhuge Liang, and the talented players are really different, and they can't be compared at all.

"Liang is just relying on the guidance of the lord, and he doesn't dare to take credit." Zhuge Liang immediately clenched his fists.

"It's your own business, but you can't talk about gunpowder like anyone else, including the research and development process, and I'll let the guards be vigilant."

"This thing will determine how long our Han can stand in the world, and it must not be leaked out." Chu Feng solemnly confessed.

Install the latest version. 】

"My subordinates understand!" Zhuge Liang nodded.

"Okay, let's go down first, and feel free to find me if you don't understand anything." Chu Feng waved his hand.

"No!" Zhuge Liang nodded and retreated.

Looking at that back, Chu Feng rubbed his temples, his heart was joyful, he believed that the research and development of gunpowder would be countless years earlier than the whole world.

He needs to enter the industrial age as soon as possible, expand the territory of the Han Dynasty as soon as possible, occupy the oil countries, and plant the Han flag all over the world.

Let Huaxia become a monetary hegemony,

So that the Han warships can gallop the world,

Let the world feed back to the big man, and let the big man stand tall.

Everything, there is still a long way to go, but it is undeniable that Chu Feng's heart has taken off.

————

In the blink of an eye, a few days later.

In the last few days of the fifth year of Jian'an,

It doesn't take long for the Spring Festival to come.

The Central Plains is ten rooms and nine empty, starvation is everywhere, and few of the old people left behind can survive this winter, and those who survive have no heart to prepare for the so-called Spring Festival.

Chu Feng hasn't had a chance to take care of all the old people left behind in the entire Central Plains,

As for Yangzhou and other places, the atmosphere of the New Year is full, every household has begun to prepare things for the New Year, make all kinds of food in advance, and children are running around in new clothes.

Their days are not bad.

And at this moment, Chang'an will be in the office.

Cao Cao looked at Tong Kong, listened to the report of the scouts in the hall, frowned, and immediately shouted: "Chu thief, Chu thief is angry with me, angry with me!" ”

As he spoke, he immediately had a splitting headache,

I sat there and couldn't get up.

All the civil and military officers stepped forward with concern, but Cao Cao raised his hand to stop it.

"Cloth and belt edict, what a cloth and ribbon edict!"

"Chu Feng is worthy of being Chu Feng, he can think of such a reason to oppose my army." Cao Cao gritted his steel teeth, endured the pain and said with hatred.

"Lord, now let the Son of Heaven stand up as soon as possible, show up the world, deny all kinds of evil deeds on the edict, and inform the world that the queen has been killed, all of which are caused by Chu Feng,"

"After establishing a new one immediately, suppress this matter!"

Xun You frowned calmly and hurriedly spoke.

"That's right, no matter whether the people of the world believe it or not, the Son of Heaven should be allowed to stand up and refute the rumors in order to set the record straight. Otherwise, the edict in Chu Feng's hand will be implemented, and the lord will not take advantage of the righteousness! ”

Guo Jia also frowned.

Cao Cao nodded, looked at Cheng Yu and said, "Has Yuan Shao ever agreed to send troops?" ”

"Well, Yuan Shao agreed, but he said he wanted Luoyang." Cheng Yu replied.

"Just give it to him." Cao Cao disagreed: "In this way, strengthen the deterrence of Luoyang and let Chu Feng fall into the trap as soon as possible." ”

"No!" The generals nodded.

"My lord, what about Yizhou?" Aribu asked.

"After the beginning of spring, I will inform the world that I will attack the traitor Chu Feng on the order of the Son of Heaven, so as to attract the attention of both sides, but in fact, I will attack Yizhou and seize its foundation!"

Cao Cao said in a deep voice.

He's been laying the groundwork for this for too long.

"Report ~, enlighten the lord, Yangzhou is in a hurry." The guard handed over the letter and exclaimed urgently.

Xun Or took the letter and read it out immediately.

Probably the content is that the Chu army expanded its corps, recruited troops everywhere, and several major army corps were ready to send troops to the north, and the letter also said that according to the people in the barracks, they may go north.

When the words fell, everyone was happy.

"Haha, idiot, Chu Feng is an idiot."

"He was really fooled by this old fox, I thought he could really predict things like a god!" Cao Cao snorted coldly, hearing the news that the Chu army was heading north, he seemed to have finally won once.

"Lord, it seems that Chu Feng is also worried that our army will suddenly attack, not only preparing to go north, but also expanding the army." Xun You nodded, smiling a little.

"Lord, as long as you can attract Chu Feng's troops this time, it can be said that you can win Yizhou nine times out of ten." Cheng Yu also echoed.

"That's right, this time, let Chu Feng experience what it means to attack the west, and when he gathers to the north, I'm afraid I have already taken Yizhou." Cao Cao sneered.

All the civilians and warriors laughed in unison.

"But at present, the main thing is to refute the rumors and establish a new one, this matter is imminent, and it needs to be handled immediately, and the Son of Heaven will never admit the edict." Cao Cao said loudly.
