"The car rides, I haven't seen you for a year, and the style is still the same."

Gongsun Kang's face was happy, and the beard on his chin was tied with thin threads, which was a different feeling.

None of the gifts he brought were given to Xu Zhen, they were all distributed to the soldiers of the garrison, and this can still be remembered, Xu Zhen has no reason to scold him.

"How long will you stay in Youzhou this time?"

Similarly, Gongsun Kang also remembered that Xu Zhen was not a person who liked to drag mud and water, so he directly explained his intention, "Well, I want the land of Lelang and Xuansu in the next county." ”

Xu Zhen glanced at him unexpectedly, "These two places were originally yours." ”

"No," Gongsun Kang shook his head with a wry smile, "It's not true, it's just that the garrison is in the territory, but if you get the edict of the Son of Heaven, you can get the land of the three counties, and it will be much easier to recruit troops and raise the people in the future." ”

"In the land of Liaodong, there were more homeless people back then, there were hundreds of thousands of people, and Xuansu and Lelang combined also had hundreds of thousands, which can be regarded as a country, and I also asked for help from the car."

"There are three benefits to cycling."

He smiled confidently and raised his hand, his tone very calm.

Xu Zhen and Jia Xu glanced at each other, and then asked with a smile, "Which three, but it doesn't hurt to say it." ”

"First, the people read the car and ride generously, so they don't have to be embarrassed to move west to Youzhou, or go east to Liaodong."

"Second, Lelang is far away, if the garrison chariot must not be at ease, can only garrison heavy troops, Lelang and Youzhou have always been separated by a Liaodong, unless it is to cross the sea, if it is under the jurisdiction of my Liaodong, the future car riding does not have to worry, and every year according to the harvest, set the full amount to hand over the money and grain to Youzhou."

"Third, if it belongs to me, I will guard Liaodong for the chariot in the future, and I can see Goguryeo, the Gongsun family, and I will always be the one who rides the chariot."

"No problem," Xu Zhen immediately raised his hand and agreed to his request, "However, there are two conditions. ”

Xu Zhen immediately raised two fingers and smiled.

These words turned around twice, so that the people around him did not understand Xu Zhen's thoughts.

Not only did he have to promise Gongsun Kang, but he also had to put forward conditions, but it was too risky to promise to give him these two counties.

Once he grows up in the future, the people of the two places will also be under his jurisdiction, and the Gongsun family will become the largest family in Youzhou.

This benefit should be given to those scholars who came to Youzhou with Xu Zhen, such as the Cui family, the Zhen family, and the Liu family, the heir of the Han queen in Youzhou.

The realm of Youzhou is complicated, and the foreign scholars follow Xu Zhen's side, and they should find a little benefit for them to be exciting.

There are too many people behind him, as if a fan of meat will be distributed to Gongsun Kang as soon as it comes, and others will have ideas.

"Please ride the car and command, Gongsun must go to the soup and fire!" Gongsun Kang knew at this moment that the conditions that Xu Zhen wanted must not be simple, but the opportunity to truly unify Liaodong was in front of him, of course he couldn't refuse, no matter what the conditions, he must agree to it first.

This is one of the few opportunities.

"The first, to capture Goguryeo within three years, or at least occupy most of the territory; The second is to build a warship for me, and build a large number of sailors in Lelang, so that in the sea area, Lelang and Youzhou can be passed into a sea road. ”

"No problem!"

Gongsun Kang directly agreed, but some of the thoughts in his heart did fall short, and he glanced at Xu Zhen deeply with a little worry and fear.

Originally, they didn't plan to attack Goguryeo, only by getting the nominal territory of Xuansu, and then confronting Goguryeo all the year round, no one could help anyone, and their Gongsun clan could survive forever.

Unexpectedly, Xu Zhen directly asked him to capture Goguryeo within three years, that is, he had no choice but to make a move.

Over the years, he has fought a lot with foreign clans, and each has its own victory and defeat, so Gongsun Kang understands that although it is not said that it is safe to conquer Goguryeo, it must be man-made, and there is a great opportunity.

There is no perfect income in the world, and no one can perfectly occupy all the benefits, unless it is a trap set by others.

Xu Zhen's request can make him feel at ease.

"Che Qi, since the Gongsun clan has decided to follow the Che Qi and stand behind the Che Qi, he will not refuse any order, even if it is to send my Gongsun clan to death."

"Really?"

Xu Zhen suddenly turned straight and stared at him, "I really have something to ask of you." ”

"This," Gongsun Kang's back immediately oozed cold sweat, and he didn't know how to answer for a while, but this kind of loyal words had indeed just been spoken.

Even if you don't dare to agree, then you have to grit your teeth and continue to speak, what if Xu Zhen is tempting?

"No problem! Please ride the car despite the command! Gongsun Kang gritted his teeth, his black clothes were blown by the wind, his long hair was fluttering, and the scene was very quiet for a while.

Xu Zhen suddenly smiled and laughed loudly, "Hahaha! Tease you, just these two requirements, as long as you make meritorious service in the future, the Gongsun clan will definitely have glory and wealth. ”

"With Liaoxi as the boundary, you can enjoy the convenience of my Youzhou in Liaodong, as long as you keep Liaodong and develop and grow, you can be my right-hand man, I am here, and the Gongsun clan will definitely be prosperous and rich."

Xu Zhen smiled indifferently, and his expression was very kind, which made Gongsun Kang feel like a spring breeze.

He was the only one who could see such a sincere smile occasionally during the month that Xu Zhen was a guest in Liaodong, which made Gongsun Kang's mind settle down.

At least not so fearful.

This rider is different from Cao Chengxiang, he promises to be reached, and he is courageous, mainly young.

Thinking about it carefully, a year has passed, and the chariot rode out to lead the soldiers to eat and sleep in the open, but it feels as if the people are still younger and silkier.

It's really a fairy among the gods.

"Che Qi, I understand, the Gongsun clan has been in Liaodong for many years, and if they can stabilize this border land, they will definitely take Goguryeo within three years."

"You just need to remember this sentence," Xu Zhen leaned down, moved his body slightly comfortably, and continued with a smile, "As long as I am still here, Liaodong will not be messed up, there will be rewards for merit." ”

"If I am gone, I will no longer restrain you, Gongsun can see the wisdom of the people and see the situation, can this be done?"

"Of course you can!" Gongsun Kang's eyes lit up, this sentence was too simple and direct, if the rider said so, it would be an agreement between the two.

Gongsun clan, surrendered to Xu Zhen.

But he does not demand eternal submission, and if he is not there, he can stand on his own feet in the future, or he can act as the situation comes.

This is an alliance between the two, of course he is willing!

It's only been a year, and how much convenience the Gongsun clan has gained in Liaodong.

Xu Zhen was willing to give him a thousand pairs of iron armor, as well as swords, and with these weapons, he won three border battles in a year, and Goguryeo was beaten to the point that he had no power to fight back.

Since the past few years, they have been constantly rubbing the border, preparing to plunder Xuansu County, and unite the rest of the foreign tribes to cross Lulong and go south to plunder.

When the Central Plains was in the middle of the war, they came to slaughter the border people from time to time, and robbed a lot of materials and property at that time.

I didn't even let go of the straw I had hoarded at home.

Almost to the point of madness.

Finally, three years ago, after jointly breaking through Wuhuan and repelling the Liucheng garrison, there is still a large amount of territory outside the Great Hansai, although it is all wasteland, mountains, and forests, but as long as it is occupied, it is a huge amount of resources.

Cities can be built in the future, and within a few years, these places can be slowly devoured and built.

"Ride, that's it."

"Of course!" Xu Zhen stood up and glanced at Jia Xu, who immediately got up and walked to his ear and whispered.

Xu Zhen smiled and said to Gongsun Kang: "It's just such a trivial matter, and it is too polite to give tens of thousands of grain and grass." ”

"Thank you for the people in the city, these grains and grass will be distributed to the people, copper and iron will be made into weapons, and cotton, if you want, you can exchange it for gold and war horses every year, and I will give you a good price."

Gongsun Kang's face suddenly showed joy, if so, it is equivalent to opening up trade, which will be a great support for Liaodong, and the living environment of the army and even the border of the common people can be greatly improved in a few years.

Xu Zhen said this, got up and left, and said to Gongsun Kang: "Then it's decided, and then the matter will be discussed with Kong Ming, I want to go to the military camp, and there are some people who go to Youzhou together, to arrange military affairs, remember to build the river bank together, build a warship, write a customary book, and take it away." ”

"Thank you for the ride, ride slowly."

Where did Gongsun Kang dare to object, for him, he came here almost to beg Xu Zhen to give him a chance to grow his family, and now that Xu Zhen has agreed, the request is nothing at all.

All the requirements were put into one sentence, which was nothing more than to make his Gongsun Kang submit to Xu Zhen, as long as Xu Zhen was there, Liaodong would surrender.

Send protons to Xu Zhen's side, and Gongsun Kang will take the initiative to do it after he goes back.

Because at least he doesn't want a hundred years and a thousand years.

Xu Bowen has a maximum of thirty years of strength, and it may still be an opportunity to remain affiliated with Xu Zhen.

Of course, there are also people in Liaodong who persuade Gongsun Kang not to entrust everything to Xu Zhen and listen to him for everything.

However, for Gongsun Kang, it is not like this at all, so many talented people are willing to follow Xu Zhen's side, how can it be said that these people are fools.

Investment in troubled times, just like the business done by the super-rich businessman Jia, who likes Confucianism in the Central Plains and sees more knowledge, of course understands that investment must require harvest, and investment in Xu Zhen must be rewarding.

"Junhou, please come with me to see Kong Ming," Jia Xu said with a smile.

Gongsun Kang immediately got up and saluted, he knew that although he had the title of Marquis, these gentlemen around Xu Zhen must also be respected, and he did not dare to be disrespectful.

……

Xu Zhen came out of the mansion and went all the way to the Tongque Tower in the city, where the books on the first floor were neatly arranged, and there were a lot more, which were divided into categories for people to watch, and many scholars could see them.

This building hides the war profits obtained by Xu Zhen over the years, all of which are the armor and blades of the major generals.

After the Tiangong Institute arrived in Zhuo County, it rushed to work overnight to cast this building, and the things placed in the tun were exactly the same as in Jizhou.

It is no longer a place for people to live, there are a total of five floors, the higher the value of the books stored, the more complex the learning, they are all ancient books, so only the first floor can be viewed at will.

Only Xu Zhen can bring people in the five-story building, whether it is a view or a banquet, he has to arrange it personally.

This year's car ride, there is already an inexhaustible amount of money, and there is no need to earn the so-called money money, because he is the one who makes the rules.

On the third floor, Cao Chong studied here.

He had already read the first and second floors of the book.

And he can apply what he has learned, and it has only been two years since he came to Youzhou, and the three-story building has just begun, with books on governing the world and the army, as well as books on the education of martyrs, which happens to be suitable for his current age.

Xu Zhen reached the third floor.

"Brother-in-law!"

Cao Chong put down the book, immediately trotted all the way over, and saluted Xu Zhen, a year has passed, little Cao Chong is not yet grown, not tall, white and fat.

After the salute, he looked at Xu Zhen with a sincere look, "When did my brother-in-law come back?" Is the war in the South already settled? ”

"Well," Xu Zhen stretched out his hand and touched his head, "How have you learned this year?" ”

"The first floor is miscellaneous, Chong'er has almost finished reading, and they all understand a little, and the second floor is the theory, Confucianism, and Chong'er is familiar with it."

"Now on the third floor, there are already the art of war and the strategy of governing the world, as well as the deeds of the ancestors, you can get a glimpse of the way of the predecessors and sages, Chong'er is deeply interested, and wants to spend more time and study in the three-story building for another year."

"It would be great if my brother-in-law came to teach him personally!"

Xu Zhen smiled happily, this kid is really likable and talented.

At this time, there was another person on the third floor, sitting on a low wooden chair, and his fat calves were shaking alternately.

That is Xu Zhen's son, Xu Xiao.

"Xiao'er."

"Father, my son is still reading, and I can't get close to my father for the time being, please wait."

Xu Zhen was stunned.

The corners of his mouth twitched suddenly.

Damn?! Lao Tzu came thousands of miles to see you, and you said such a sentence to me?

"Tsk, can't you see it later?"

"It can't be like this, so it is abandoned, and all the rules are kept, and there is no need to interrupt unless necessary."

"Hiss......"

Xu Zhen frowned, and suddenly leaned back.

Who learns this!?

What does it mean to be non-essential and not interrupted! I'm your father, I haven't seen you for a year, you don't come to get close to me, and tell me to wait here for you to read?!

Are you a person!?

What are you doing with this without beating it?!

At a young age, you've already started to pretend, you're just going to walk when you're more than three years old, you can understand a fart!

Xu Zhen touched Cao Chong's head and said gently: "Chong'er, you go out for a while, I have something to do." ”

"Yes, brother-in-law."

Cao Chong went out obediently, and soon there was a cry like killing a pig from the third floor, and he knew that the rider had specially made a belt made of leather, using the fur of the wolf outside the seven horses as raw materials.

said that it was specially used to draw juniors in the future.

That's not what you need.

……

After a night, Xu Xiao stood in front of the oil lamp with her buttocks covered, continued to read, pouting and crying, but the reading time she set for herself must not be interrupted, and she could only go to sleep after reading.

Xu Zhen accompanied him not far away, and Pang Tong came back from the barracks to report on the military situation in Bingzhou.

"Xiliang has occupied Liangzhou and Yongzhou, taking advantage of this year, the chariot riders are in the south, and the prime minister's soldiers and horses are all like this, so they secretly advanced to the state for more than 80 miles, occupying a lot of lonely cities."

"A lot of camps have been built."

"Xiliang's current powerful general, named Ma Chao, is the son of Ma Teng, his battle is brave, conquered several clans externally, and subdued thousands of elite horsemen as a troop, many people in Xiliang Biansai, call him General Shenwei."

"I'm afraid, there is a lot of momentum, Ma Chao's character Meng Qi, good at brocade clothes, but it is quite similar to General Zilong's Shenjun, in the next opinion, Xiliang now has this Shenweitian general, which shows that his ambition is not small."

"Yes," Xu Zhen said, "With this fame, you can deter all the lands, and you can unify them, but Ma Chao is indeed brave, there is a sentence you are right, he and Zilong are really very similar, Duxi brocade robe and silver armor, what I like is that the silver saddle shines on the white horse, and the chic and wanton like a meteor." ”

"Good sentence!"

Pang Tong raised his eyebrows, immediately smiled and admired sincerely, and came as soon as he opened his mouth, and the rider was really very learned.

"That being the case, prepare in advance, and let Zilong go to the meeting for a while after the beginning of spring."
