When Liu Xie heard Zhuge Liang's words, he couldn't help frowning slightly, he didn't understand how Zhuge Kongming could have such an idea.

Now the Han under Liu Xie's rule can be regarded as having some power.

This occupies the land of Jiaoyi Yongliang and the five states!

However, anyone with a discerning eye knows that these five states, that is, Yizhou, can barely provide grain and grass support to many other states and counties.

And others such as Sanfu, Huangzhong, Hedong... Although it is also a large area of tuntian, it is really necessary to supply the state capitals and counties and then continue to provide a war that will obviously be protracted.

It's going to be very difficult!

After all, even if it is Hedong now, it is also on the rise, otherwise Zhang Jidu would not have gone up a lot in so many years.

First is the history of Liangzhou thorn, followed by the history of Yongzhou thorn.

And he Du Ji is still the Taishou of Hedong County, in this time and space, this guy has once again won the great title of the first county guard in the world....

And Liu Xie knows very well that this kind of protracted war is not just enough for grain and grass.

Liu Xie, who is now a veteran, knows very well that if a big war really arises, then he will definitely face a large number of conscriptions and be requisitioned.

After all, at the beginning of the war, Liu Xie couldn't let the soldiers under his command be responsible for transporting grain and grass, so how many people did it need?

How much grain and grass is needed?

The best thing to do is to let the conscripts bring their own dry rations and then go to escort the grain and grass, although it is very ruthless, but.... This may be the only way.

And this is the reason why Liu Xie has not dared to launch a large-scale campaign all these years.

Hedong County was relieved because of a big battle between himself and Cao Mengde back then.

Although there was no large-scale riot, Liu Xie knew very well that if it weren't for the fact that he had to forcibly join the battlefield in Hebei.

Then with Du Ji's ability, now Hedong County can rely on its own strength to support a big war!

Now Liu Xie knows that just one or two battles are not enough to completely dominate the world, and they need more time and a deeper foundation.

And now Zhuge Liang's words really made Liu Xie a little incomprehensible.

He knew that Zhuge Liang was very talented, and he could even be said to be the top in the world, especially in terms of governance, which was even more difficult for everyone to match.

But.... The gap between them is not so big!

For this reason, Liu Xie couldn't help but look at Guo Tu and Fa Zheng on the side, looking at them coldly, as if asking if they had something they hadn't told themselves.

Under that cold gaze, Guo Tu and Fa Zheng finally turned their heads silently, one looking at the thick beams and pillars, and the other at the roof of the main hall....

Seeing these two people with such virtue, Liu Xie didn't want to deal with them anymore....

"That's it... It seems that Kong Ming, you are already confident! Liu Xie looked at Zhuge Kongming and chuckled directly, and then handed over the Son of Heaven Sword in his hand again.

"Kong Ming, it's still the old rules.... Just do what you want to do! ”

"....." Zhuge Liang looked at the Son of Heaven Sword that had once again sent the eunuch to him, and at this moment, he couldn't help but have a little different meaning in his heart.

He knew that Liu Xie trusted him very much, and he also knew that his status in Liu Xie's heart was very special now.

Even... Zhuge Liang is very aware of Liu Xie's current situation, and he, an outsider, has always wanted to make Liu Xie's forces have some kind of problems.

But Liu Xie knows this, but he still has great trust in himself.

This kind of trust even made Zhuge Liang not know what attitude to use to express it....

In the end, he could only bow his body vigorously towards Liu Xie.

"Your Majesty, this time.... Please also ask General Elk Wei to come forward! ”

“......”

At this moment, Liu Xie seemed to know that he had something he hadn't thought of.

Just ten days later, in the brand-new Western Regions Protectorate, Lu Fang looked at his nephew in front of him, and couldn't help but scold.

"No, absolutely not!

Let me tell you, don't look at you as the nephew of the general, even if the king of heaven and Lao Tzu comes, the general will still say that!

No, it's no, don't wronged Lao Tzu! ”

Elfang first scolded angrily, and then wiped the non-existent tears directly towards Na Elwei and the people around him.

Continue to speak to Elk Wei and the others....

"You have wronged a certain family so much, do you still have a conscience!

A certain family is a loyal minister and good general of the Han Dynasty, loyal to His Majesty, where will there be any personal savings!

No, absolutely nothing!

Your uncle has had a hard time outside all these years haha, what is this for?

It's not to be able to make my life a little more relaxed.

Eat bran vegetables every day, dress well.... Look at the rags!

This.. If you don't believe this, my uncle will take off his pants today, and the liner is now leaking out of his ass!

Even if your uncle was sent to prison in Chengdu in those years, he never forgot to let people send money, grain, cattle and sheep to the imperial court.

What faithfulness this is, and what flesh has been scraped from us!

Now that I'm back, it's not a good day, and you're like that... Are you worthy of the old man, worthy of your uncle and me? ”

In the Western Regions Protectorate, Elfang looked at his nephew who was rushing all the way from Chang'an, and shouted loudly about his loyalty to the Han and how poor he was after so many years outside...

At this time, his nephew Mi Wei, who was standing in front of Elfang, looked helpless, and his face even trembled slightly.

"Uncle..."

"Don't call me uncle, even if your father is here today, absolutely not!" Lu Fang interrupted the nephew's words without hesitation, and then prepared to let people send them off directly.

Elfang looked at Elk Wei in front of her at this time, and she really couldn't help but want to scold her mother.

Good guy, he has a good life in the Western Regions, and he won't let himself go back to the prosperous place of the Central Plains for so many years.

I've been in prison for years!

It's not easy for me to settle down....

Why do you have to hollow out your own family!

Heaven is merciful, is it easy for him to earn some hard-earned money for so many years, why does he have to support the army, is he such a great person?

Impossible, absolutely impossible!

At this time, Mi Wei looked at the oil and salt not entering, and Lu Fang, who looked like a dead pig was not afraid of boiling water, and he had no choice.

To be honest, he is still very clear about this attitude!

Although Elway is not a person with great intelligence, his surname is Elk, and he is Elfang's own nephew Elway.

After all these years, he still doesn't know what this uncle of his own?

Back then, their Elk family was originally going to follow Liu Bei all the time, but it was because of this person who suddenly found a trade route outside the Saiwai.

Just ran out of the plug!

After Liu Bei and Liu Xie "parted ways", Lu Zhu followed Liu Bei's side and continued to be unswerving.

And Elkfang... is helpless and can't return at all.

And Elway followed Elfang's side.

In fact, Elk Wei has been in contact with this uncle all these years, so he also knows very well what this uncle's personality looks like.

He knew very well that it was a pure ..... Money-hungry and lustful!

No matter how deeply he hides it, he is!

Now it is not too difficult to let him take out his money.

At the beginning, Mr. Zhuge suddenly found him and asked him to come to the Western Regions with a letter to find this uncle who had not returned home for many years, and then asked him to take out some grain and grass to support the future war.

Elk Wei told Mr. Zhuge at the beginning, don't dream, this thing is impossible!

But Mr. Zhuge didn't believe it and had to come by himself.

Outcome... The results are clear.

With this uncle's greed and stinginess, he didn't get any means from the military supply, which was already very good, how could he still provide grain and grass for the imperial court.

In desperation, Elway could only take out the second thing that the prime minister gave him.

"In this case, Your Majesty has an order to recruit the general Colonel Elfang under the command of the Western Regions Protectorate to join the army of the Northern Expedition and guard the Chinese army..."

"Is 200,000 Hu enough!"

"....." Elway couldn't help but twitch his cheeks, which was a little different from what he imagined....

But the most important thing is that although the amount of grain and grass is quite large, it is obvious.... It's completely different from what Mr. Zhuge expected.

And... Not enough!

"I'll ask you to raise tens of thousands of cattle and sheep and herdsmen to help you graze, and you will walk in front along the way, and these cattle and sheep will follow you behind, so it's always okay."

..... "Hmm... That's not much worse.

"I'll send you a few more guides, all of them are old men from Bingzhou, and they know the terrain there well!"

"Thank you, uncle!" Only then did Elk Wei take the will back, and looking at the gloomy and gray Elk Fang, he couldn't help but show a smile....

I don't really understand what this looks like, but.... Wouldn't it be nice to do this earlier?

It's bothering him too much....

Lu Wei bowed to Zhao Yun and the others with a satisfactory answer, and at the same time left Liu Xie's will and praise, as well as Liu Xie's reward for them...

Zhao Yun held the festival, Lu Dai was made a marquis, and Liao Li served as a waiter, and continued to listen to orders in the army.

Wang Ping has also become today's unsuccessful general....

After doing all this, Elway left the Western Regions directly with his entourage, and once again hurried towards Chang'an.

As for the grain, supplies, etc... Elk Fang will naturally solve it.

On the other hand, more than ten days was enough time for Zhuge Liang and Liu Xie to straighten out the soldiers and horses, and transfer the soldiers and horses that should come.

Under the city of Chang'an, Liu Xie, the emperor of the Han Dynasty, looked at the mighty Northern Expedition army, and once again handed over his tiger talisman to Zhuge Liang's hands.

"Kong Ming, this is going to be difficult, you must be careful!"

"No!"

"And..."Liu Xie saw that no one was approaching, so he changed his kind tone and whispered to Zhuge Liang, "Come back early, I know that this should be the first time you have helped me."

I heard that your wife came to see you some time ago, and now she is waiting in Shangyong....

Don't let that child be born without a father by your side..."

Hearing this, Zhuge Liang couldn't help but smile, and at the same time, his eyes shook a little.

He knew that his mind had been seen through by Liu Xie.

But the other party still didn't blame himself at all.

For this sake .... Zhuge Liang was speechless, and could only bow down immediately after nodding silently to Liu Xie.

"I order!" Liu Xie looked at Zhuge Liang beside him and stepped forward directly, and then yelled at everyone, "Zhuge Kongming will stabilize Nanzhong and Yizhou for me."

Governance of national politics, meritorious service!

Now, I have ordered Zhuge Kongming to be the great Han.... Prime minister! Fengwu Xianghou! ”

Liu Xie's words immediately surprised everyone, and even Zhuge Kongming was shocked by the news.

Now with the return of Liu Xie, Jia Xu has become the Situ of the Han Dynasty.

Fa Zheng served as the court lieutenant, Guo Tu became the captain of the Han Dynasty, and Xu Shu also took the position of the middle of the imperial history...

As for Sikong, it has been vacant.

Originally, everyone thought that even if Zhuge Liang was valued by Liu Xie, he was still the master of the Han Dynasty, or even just too often.

But everyone didn't expect that it would be the prime minister.... Even if Zhuge Liang is going to leave the next moment, he will return to Liu Bei.

This position is too important.

"Your Majesty...."

"Kong Mingmo is going to say more!" Liu Xie interrupted Zhuge Liang's words, and then whispered to Zhuge Liang with a smile on his face.

"Since you are the commander in chief this time, you must have enough prestige and status.

Besides, if you are given another official position, will I still be dismissed if you leave?

Only this prime minister... Although he is the head of a hundred officials, although he is a high authority.

But you are not in Chang'an, and you will not be in Chang'an in the future, can it be that you can still pose any threat to me? ”

Under Liu Xie's full smile, Zhuge Liang still received the appointment that Liu Xie had prepared a long time ago into his hands with a tangle on his face.

At the same time, he nodded silently towards Liu Xie, "Minister.... Thank you, Your Majesty! ”

With Zhuge Liang's "minister", the army finally began to move.

On this expedition, the prime minister of the Han Dynasty, Wuxiang Hou Zhuge Liang personally commanded the army.

The Taishou of Yanmen County, who was about to go to Yanmen to take up his post, and Huang Zhong, the general of Anyuan, was also in the army this time.

Of course, in addition to him, Zhuge Liang also directly named a series of people.

"Captain Tunqi, Liu Yin!"

"Captain Shot... Hu Zun! ”

When Zhuge Liang pointed to Hu Zun, he couldn't help but glance at Liu Xie behind him, and saw that his face had not changed, so he breathed a sigh of relief.

This guy is the general next to Liu Xie, and he is also a pretty good young general who has appeared in Yongliang recently.

His appearance also represents that Liu Xie's prestige in the Yongliang Land can continue to harvest more and more generals and warriors from the Yongliang Land.

Of course, this time Zhuge Liang is actually mainly a Yizhou general, after all, those people themselves are more familiar.

But the same ... If he goes to Northern Xinjiang, if he doesn't have some support from General Yongliang and the veterans around Liu Xie, he Zhuge Liang will also feel a little unbearable.

After making sure that Hu Zun would not arouse Liu Xie's disgust, Zhuge Liang also began to continue to point generals.

"General Fenwu Pang De!"

"Fenwei Zhonglang will be Ma Zhong!"

"Nakaro Yokono will spread his wings!"

"Guerrilla Zhonglang will be supported!"

"Li Feng Zhonglang will Liu Min!"

"Tiger Tooth General Kou Feng!"

"General Pi Zhang Ren!"

"Captain.... Liu Feng! ”

This last name is not an accident, it is the current prince of the Han Dynasty, Liu Feng!

And Liu Feng is also the prince who Liu Xie sent to Zhuge Liang, hoping that Zhuge Liang can teach him well.

He believes that even if they belong to different places, with Zhuge Liang's character, he will not do anything to his son, even... I will teach this Han prince well.

After all, he also represents the hope of the Great Han!

In addition, there are also military officers, chief notes, documents, master books, and long histories.

Among them, there are many officials around Liu Xie, such as many servants around Liu Xie, such as Zhou Buyi and so on....

Of course, since there is a prince with the army, in addition to the prince's family order Meng Guang, such as Dong Yun, the son of Dong He, Fa Miao, the son of Fa Zheng, Pang Hui, the son of Pang De, Ma Qiu, the son of Ma Chao, and other officials of the prince's mansion who have just grown up, are naturally also in the army....

This time, Zhuge Liang sent 30,000 troops, thinking that Anyuan's general Huang Zhong was the vanguard, with the guerrilla general Jufu as the deputy vanguard, and Xu Shu as the counselor, leading 5,000 troops and horses to advance.

With the sound of the shooting captain Hu Zun, Li Feng Zhonglang was responsible for escorting Liu Min to the first grain and grass, and the others followed Zhuge Liang and Liu Feng as the Chinese army.

The army began to march mightily, for there was no food or grass to carry behind.

This journey can definitely be regarded as smooth sailing, and during the march, Zhuge Liang continued to teach Liu Feng and a group of juniors.

It can be regarded as worthy of Liu Xie's trust in him!

It can be said that there is no nervousness.

By the way, he also took Liu Feng to inspect some of the officials and garrisons in this northern county, and some people... I took it down.

By the time everyone entered outside Beidi County, the vanguard generals Huang Zhong and Jufu had already set up a camp and were waiting for Zhuge Liang to enter with the army.

Of course, now there are more than ten old men who are not Han people who look like they are not Han people.

Dressed in simple and even somewhat shabby sheepskin jackets and carrying herdsmen's unique long whips, they knelt down in front of Zhuge Liang.

"On the order of General Elfang, we came to meet the Prime Minister of the Han Dynasty..."

"....." Zhuge Liang couldn't help but smile when he looked at these Elfang's "subordinates" in front of him, "It seems.... This general is still very well-informed! ”
