Chapter 19: The Five Tigers Finally Withered

"Dare to ask what?"

The king of Hanzhong was pleasantly surprised when he heard this, since the immortal said that there was a way to help him recover the Han Dynasty, it should be true.

Zhuge Liang and other civil and military ministers are also staring at a few people, they really want to support the great cause with the lord, and the entire Ji Han Center is united for this ideal!

Only Zhang Fei, who had just arrived, was stunned when he heard it:

What's going on? Isn't the eldest brother inviting these immortals (demons) here to seek immortality......

The reason why Zhang Fei was so excited before was that he thought that his eldest brother and military advisor had given up their ideals and had fallen to the point of seeking immortal immortality.

Can you listen to the conversation between the eldest brother and the immortals (demons), it seems that not only is this not the case, but they want the immortals to help them support the Han family?

But how is this possible? It is common sense that witchcraft cannot be used, after all, even the vigorous Taiping Dao failed in the end......

Ignoring Zhang Fei, who was doubting his life, Zhang Ran smiled and said:

"The foundation of a country's strength lies in the size of its population and the production of food, and although magic is good, it is difficult for everyone to learn it."

"Today's next three points, Cao Wei monopolizes the essence of the Central Plains, and the king of Hanzhong and Eastern Wu are only separated from a remote corner, no matter the population and food are far inferior to the Central Plains, and only a quick battle has a chance to win, the more time is delayed, the more Cao Wei will overwhelm the two families, and it will be difficult to escape the way to destruction."

After listening, Liu Bei and the others were all ugly but not surprised, obviously everyone understands this truth, but the reason why they are still fighting is that they are unwilling to accept this fate!

"In the gentleman's opinion?"

Zhang Ran laughed, as if he had become a strategist and mastermind, and said freely:

"There are two strategies under it, one is to ignore the Eastern Wu first, take advantage of Cao Cao's violent death and the chaos in the Central Plains, and let the king of Hanzhong and Zhuge military division go out of Qishan Road with the strength of the country, and take the land of Weinan and Longyou, as long as the momentum is like thunder, so that Cao Wei, who is competing for the throne, has no time to take care of it, then Cao Wei's arm can be broken."

"The second strategy is to take the opportunity to restore the production of Shu, reclaim wasteland, promote new farming technology, catch up with Cao Wei and several states with the grain production of Yizhou, and narrow the gap between the national strength of the two sides......

This......

Everyone looked at each other, don't listen to this immortal pointing out the country here, in fact, this first strategy alone has a big problem!

"No!"

Zhang Fei immediately jumped out and said angrily:

"Not to mention that I, Yizhou, has just finished the Hanzhong War, and it is when the people are tired and the soldiers are lacking, how can I start a war with Cao Wei at will! Besides, Sun Quan'er took my Jingzhou and killed my second brother, such a blood feud, how can you not repay it? ”

Zhang Ran glanced at him in surprise, and he didn't expect that Zhang Fei, who was famous for his recklessness, also had a lot of thoughts, and it seemed that his "thick and fine" was not a lie.

But Zhang Ran still asked rhetorically:

"Did General Zhang think that such a great opportunity to attack Wei would be available at any time? Don't miss the opportunity, lose it again! ”

"Besides, Cao Wei, who is not fighting chaos now, but because of the anger of blood and blood, he starts a war with Jiangdong, which has taken over Jingzhou, which is full of morale, how stupid it is to ignore the small and unbearable and make a big plan!"

"You! ……”

Zhang Fei was furious, but Zhuge Liang and others pulled him to death, so he didn't come up and punch him twice.

Huang Yaoshi, Hua Tuo and other group members also gave Zhang Ran a look again and again:

It's almost over, you almost pointed at someone's nose and scolded......

"Immortals!"

After Liu Bei listened to Zhang Ran's words, he also fell into silence, and said after a long time:

"Immortals may not know that my three brothers have made an oath since the Taoyuan uprising, not to be born on the same day and month of the same year, but to die on the same day and month of the same year!"

"Now Jiangdong Sun Quan sneak attacked Jingzhou and killed my second brother Guan Yuyunchang, this revenge will not be avenged, and my brothers will not be blind to death!"

Of course, Zhang Ran understands how deep the brotherhood of the three is, otherwise there would be no tragic battle of Yiling in history......

So.

"Therefore, King Hanzhong, you can't be angry and raise a teacher, because of a small loss!"

Zhang Ran said seriously:

"If the king conquers Jiangdong, he will win but seize the land of the nine counties of Jingxiang and the six counties of Jiangdong, even if the time for digesting the land and population is not considered, the king is still several times weaker than Cao Wei, not to mention that it is impossible for Cao Wei not to intervene during the war against Wu."

"And if the king is defeated, he ......"

"Impossible!"

Zhang Fei yelled:

"My eldest brother won't lose!"

"Hmm...... Then refer to the result of the victory. ”

Zhang Ran sighed, the battle of Yiling in history was not only lost, but it was almost all the bottoms out......

Seeing that Zhang Ran was so persuasive, Zhuge Liang, who didn't want to fight Dongwu at all now, also took the opportunity to say to Liu Bei:

"O king, the king must not be angry and raise a teacher! What's more, it's not that we don't help Yun Chang to take revenge, it's just that we first attack Cao Wei and then Sun Wu, and when we capture Guanzhong and return to the old capital, and then follow Emperor Taizu Gao's eastward letter valley to sweep the world, forgive that Sun Quan is just another Wujiang self-killing end! ”

Liu Bei was silent.

After a long time, he seemed to be a few years older when he was nearly sixty years old, he looked at Zhuge Liang on the side, and then at the third brother Zhang Fei, and said:

"Yide, you said lonely...... What should I do? ”

After listening to the explanations of the military advisor and the immortal (demon), although Zhang Fei still wanted to avenge the second brother, he also replied with a sigh:

"Brother...... I think it makes sense, the second brother's revenge can be avenged later, and the great cause of recovering the Han Dynasty is the top priority. ”

"That's good."

Liu Bei regained his strength, suppressed his grief and anger for the time being, and shouted:

"Order Hanzhong to guard Wei Yan too much, order him to prepare the army and food, and raise a large army to attack Wei within ten days, vowing to capture Weinan and take Longyou!"

When the courtiers heard this, they were overjoyed:

"King Shengming!"

"And!"

Liu Bei suddenly thought of something again, looked at Zhang Ran curiously, and asked:

"Mr. Fang Cai once said two strategies, one is to take the opportunity to cut down Wei, and the other is to reclaim wasteland and promote new farming techniques...... Where is this new technology? ”

Zhang Ran smiled and pointed to Huang Yaoshi, who had been waiting next to him for a long time:

"This is not my strength, this Huangdao master is a master!"

The two had discussed in the group before, and Zhang Ran was to advise, while Huang Yaoshi was responsible for providing technical support.

Huang Yaoshi was in the Southern Song Dynasty, and compared with the farming technology of the Southern Song Dynasty and the Three Kingdoms era, it was really heaven and earth!

For example, they were also at war, and the population of the Southern Song Dynasty was hundreds of millions at its peak, and the population of the Bashu region alone was more than 10 million, compared to the peak population of Ji Han was only about three or four million......

Although the problems faced by the two periods differed and had an impact on the size of the population, they did reflect the disparity in farming techniques.

And Huang Yaoshi is a geek, in addition to being known as one of the world's five unique in martial arts, he is also a veritable all-round talent, piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, internal affairs and military affairs, and he naturally knows a little bit about farming!

"Mr. Huang, you really ......"

Facing the fiery gaze of Hanzhong Wang and others, Huang Yaoshi chuckled:

"If you have a little dabbling, please prepare pen and ink for me and express what I have learned!"

……

After the banquet, except for Huang Yaoshi who went to help Liu Bei write the agricultural book, Zhang Ran, Hua Tuo and other four unrelated personnel left the hall.

"Brother Zhang, you really scared Hua!"

Hua Tuo breathed a sigh of relief, Zhang Fei's angry appearance before scared him into thinking that Zhang Ran was going to be beaten.

"After all, your luck is zero now, and you can't use spells, in case you anger General Zhang, I'm afraid it will be ......"

"Hey!"

Zhang Ran smiled and said:

"That's a mistake! Not to mention that there is Brother Hua, you can use spells to help me block the fist, and say that I am still an internal force in addition to the spell, although I can't adjust, but if I am punched, the internal force will also protect myself and resist the beating! ”

Hua Tuo: ......

"Oh yes, what are you planning for the next few days?"

Zhang Ran suddenly asked.

"This ......"

Tian Buyi and Cui Wenzi, who had been playing soy sauce, looked at each other, and there was a bit of helplessness in their eyes, one of them was a powerful immortal cultivator, and the other was a well-known Danshi, but since they crossed over, they felt that they were useless......

Zhang Ran has a good eloquence, and can talk eloquently in front of the king and hundreds of officials, and point out the country!

Hua Tuo is a miracle doctor, and a great contributor to the assassination of Cao Cao, and can use spells, the king of Hanzhong will definitely reuse him.

And Huang Yaoshi is the most powerful, not only can he be literate and martial, but also familiar with the internal affairs of cultivation and warfare, and he is very mixed in this world, if he really can't stay for a long time, the king of Hanzhong estimates that he will have to use all means to keep this talent!

And both of them ......

"I don't know."

Tian Buyi was a little depressed, and Cui Wenzi sighed even more:

"The old man thinks that Brother Tian and I are still useful in our own world, but after crossing the world, we have no sense of existence."

"This ......"

Zhang Ran was stunned, this ...... He hadn't really noticed.

Hua Tuo said:

"Everyone has their own use, Brother Tian and Brother Cui don't have to be like this, so be it!"

He laughed and said:

"Today is the first day of the first lunar month, the first day of the new year, why don't the four of us go to the market and experience the folk customs of Chengdu?"

"Can ......"

Zhang Ran happily accepted, and Tian Cui and the others were also interested in Hua Tuo, so they had to go to the outer city.

At this moment, I heard a shout:

"Immortals! A few immortals stayed! ”

"Who?"

Zhang Ran turned his head to look, but saw an old general in armor running quickly.

"General Zhang!"

The person who came was Zhang Fei, who was still very angry with Zhang Ran, but at this time he saluted a few people with some restraint.

"Is there anything wrong with General Zhang?"

Zhang Ran was puzzled, with Zhang Fei's previous "demon" style, wouldn't he want to test whether they were real immortals with his fists and feet?

But unexpectedly, Zhang Fei was embarrassed to say:

"Fei was a little more angry before, please forgive the immortals, I am not here to offend the immortals, but I want to ask the immortals to cast a spell to save Huang Hansheng and Ma Mengqi and their ......"
