- "Figured it out?"

- "What have you figured out?"

For Liu Chan, Zhao Yun and Yu Feng are not afraid that he has no ideas, but they are afraid that he has too many ideas, jumps too much, and jumps to... Absurd!

What are the lessons of the past——

Now, Liu Chan is swearing like this, and the fish is fine... Zhao Yun felt a little panicked in his heart.

In Zhao Yun's opinion, the best thing is for Adou to figure it out, and he shouldn't be so depressed... Then turn back into that happy and optimistic noble son, just don't have too many ideas! Zhao Yun felt that he was already a little overwhelmed.

On the other hand, Liu Chan has already opened his mouth with an oath, "In the past few days, I have been thinking hard, I have done a little rough tricking this time, and I have also scared the snake, but... So what, my master has given me a lot of skills to preach and receive karma, and he has given me so many manufacturing maps, look at it this way... I still have countless chances... But the mastermind behind the scenes, he only has one chance to lose! Sooner or later... I'll wait..."

"However, with so many maps, I wonder again, and I don't know where to start... After thinking about it, I'm going to build this first..."

As he spoke, Liu Chan pointed his finger at himself, to be precise, where his body was on his chest.

- "What is this?"

Zhao Yun felt that he couldn't keep up with Liu Changongzi's out-of-the-box ideas, but he finally came out of depression and depression... It's okay, it's okay...

Yu Feng was quite cooperative, and responded to Liu Chan, "What is Childe going to make?" ”

"Can't you see that?" Liu Chan pulled the inner armor outward this time, "I made this inner armor, I was assassinated before... It was the rhinoceros leather inner armor that my master gave me that saved my life, this inner armor is invulnerable, lightweight, and like ordinary underwear, isn't it very suitable for fighting in the mountains? So... Isn't this just suitable for our soldiers in Shu? According to my master's map, in fact, there is no need for rhinoceros skin at all, directly with buffalo skin, even if it is cultivated cow skin, after special treatment, it can achieve the same invulnerability effect..."

"Besides, the cow is full of treasures, the bow that the old man Huang Zhong wore through Yang in a hundred steps on the flying ball was the cow tendon used... Hyssop... In addition to cowhide, we can also make bows, and beef can also be stewed and eaten... No waste at all! ”

As soon as he heard the idea of beating cattle, Yufeng, who was born in a mountain village farmer, trembled all over, and hurriedly reminded, "Childe, don't... Where... There will be rules that can't kill cows... Farming, the field needs a lot of cattle, in case they are all killed... That would affect the harvest. ”

Zhao Yunshen thought so, "Yes, Shuzhong has been vigorously governed by your master Zhuge and a large number of new agricultural tools introduced by Mrs. Huang from Jingzhou, which has increased the income of the farmland in Dujiangyan by 30%, if according to Gongzi's statement, to make this cowhide inner armor, I don't know how many cultivated cattle to kill, once it affects the cultivation and harvest of cultivated land, then wouldn't it... Pay for one's whistle? ”

Yes...

Yes...

The words of Yu Feng and Zhao Yun made Liu Chan exclaim in surprise respectively, and even he muttered loudly as if he couldn't understand it: "The pattern... Xiaoyu, Uncle Zilong... Pattern! What about your landscape? ”

Yes? Pattern?

This rhetoric... Zhao Yun is no stranger, and Guan Lin also likes to mention these two words.

And even... For a moment, the more Zhao Yun looked at Liu Chan, the more he felt that this was a little Guan Lin?

Liu Chan's voice continued, "The pattern of the servants is always only so lost, Uncle Zilong... That's right, we need to plough cattle for farming, but we need invulnerable cowhide inner armor to fight, Uncle Zilong, think about it... Our soldiers, wearing this cowhide inner armor, fought in the mountains of Shuzhong, walking like flying, walking flat and invulnerable? So... How can a battle be lost? And when the battle is won, then it occupies the enemy's territory, the same... Also took away more ploughing cattle from the enemy! ”

"According to what you said, save here and there, but can cattle be saved? My master stewed a cow in Jingzhou for three days, and he didn't see a decrease in the harvest, but more and more land was beaten, not only more cattle, but also more people. Cows will only eat more and more... I really want to save... Save a caterpillar? ”

Belch... Feeding war with war?

Liu Chan's words made Zhao Yun a little in a trance, and even swallowed a mouthful of saliva.

- "Fighting to feed war, is this what Adou proposed?"

Because of the failure of the previous death plan, Zhao Yun subconsciously felt that Liu Chan was too young to control the layout of a plot like Yunqi, and it was precisely because of this that Zhao Yun instinctively wanted to refute Liu Chan's ideas and opinions.

But... Liu Chan's idea of "slaughtering cattle with war" and his penetrating insights made Zhao Yun feel suddenly clear and bright.

Having said that, isn't the breakthrough on the battlefield of Xiangfan also because of Guan Lin, because of his ingenious use of war to support the war?

"Uncle Zilong... Uncle Zilong..."

Seeing that Zhao Yun was still in reverie, Liu Chan hurriedly asked. "What's wrong with you? Isn't it uncomfortable? ”

"Oh..."Zhao Yun's thoughts were pulled back from outside the clouds, "It's nothing..."

Liu Chan hurriedly widened his eyes and asked earnestly: "Then I decided to make a cowhide inner armor, Uncle Zilong wants to help me..."

"How can I help?"

"First of all, the biggest problem... It's to slaughter a thousand heads first, speaking of which, since I left Jingzhou, I haven't eaten beef anymore, my master's beef stew... Even if you just think about it, it's a big move of your index finger—"

Belch... Cattle? Or a thousand!

Zhao Yun was suddenly a little troubled, where did he find a thousand cows?

And where did you get permission... What about slaughtering a thousand head of cattle?

Don't say that it is in Shuzhong, even in Cao Wei and Dongwu, such a large-scale cattle slaughter will cause huge criticism!

Truly...

The plan of "a thousand oxen to chop" proposed by Liu Chan, looking at the entire agricultural era, must be quite explosive!

…

…

Shu Kingdom, Chengdu, Shangshu Li Yan's mansion lobby is furnished with many rare treasures and delicacies.

Li Yan couldn't help but light up when he looked at this, but he retracted his excitement very restrainedly, and postponed it again and again, "General Liu came to my mansion, how could he bring so many rare treasures?" It's too much of a waste of money... There are also these gluttonous delicacies, the old man has never seen them, they must be worth a lot of money, and the old man dare not accept them... I don't dare to accept it..."

As he spoke, Li Yan pushed these treasures and delicacies out.

Liu Feng came to visit Li Yan with Ma Yan, and when he saw Li Yan shirking it, Ma Jian hurriedly said: "Where is Li Shangshu, Shangshu is an elder, Liu Gongzi and I are juniors, and it is natural for juniors to respect their elders, not to mention these... Although it seems to be precious, but in fact they are all local specialties of Jingzhou, Liu Gongzi was born in Jingzhou, and has been an official in Jingzhou for many years, these things are filial to Li Shangshu, and they can still be used..."

Since he experienced the shocking scene of the last "White Emperor City", and also experienced Ma Tan's analysis at that time, which helped him escape, Liu Feng has regarded Ma Jian as a top thinker, and he must consult him for everything...

Even if it was to visit Li Yan this time, it was Ma Yan's proposal.

In Ma Yan's view, there are many factions in Shuzhong, the three most important factions are the Jingzhou faction, the Dongzhou faction and the veteran faction, Zhuge Liang represents the Jingzhou faction, and Liu Feng is from Jingzhou, and he also has a special status in the Jingzhou faction.

But when it comes to the position of the "prince", it's not a Jingzhou faction that has the final say, and the patriarchal faction can't win me over... Based on this, one of the factions that Liu Feng must win over cannot be avoided is the Dongzhou faction.

However, the head of the Dongzhou faction is Fa Zheng, he is Liu Bei's die-hard loyalist, in the name of Liu Bei, it is impossible to stand in line in the position of the prince, and retreat to the second, Liu Feng needs to win over Meng Da and Li Yan.

The former holds military power, and the latter has special prestige among the Dongzhou faction...

Fortunately, Meng Da already has a good personal relationship with Liu Feng, so it is imperative... Liu Feng and Ma Yan need to win over only Li Yan, it is precisely Li Yan who is ambitious, he doesn't want to be subservient to the law forever, this... It was analyzed by Ma Yan, and Liu Feng could use it.

Now that the gift is open, everything seems to be in order.

"Since General Liu and Ma Gongzi said so, these things... But the old man was disrespectful, so he accepted it first..."

Li Yan beckoned, and immediately a servant brought this dry gift down.

Walking into the inner room, three desks, three kneeling sitting...

Li Yan said, "Now that Shuzhong is eventful, the lord is benevolent, but the Cao army in Hanzhong is eyeing the tiger, the war is inevitable, and the war is about to break out, so... It's all thanks to young generals like General Liu and talented people from Jingzhou..."

When mentioning Jingzhou's talents, Li Yan deliberately accentuated his voice, as if... There is a little meaning in and out of the words.

Ma Tan is so smart, how can he not hear the deep meaning here.

hurriedly said: "How can there be only Jingzhou talents who rely on, and Dongzhou talents are also Shuzhong humerus, in fact, General Li doesn't say it, even if I am from Jingzhou, I will be upset with General Li for a while!" ”

Li Yan said embarrassedly, "What's wrong with me? It's just to see the hard work of the lord, and talk about the worries of the lord..."

Ma Tan said with a light smile, "When I first entered Shuzhong, I was ordered by the lord to collect the people's comments on the officials in Shuzhong. Li Shangshu has the most prosperous reputation and the most famous reputation, but it is that the law and filial piety are not good, when it comes to identity, status, and reputation, Li Shangshu is also far above the law, but now the lord has a secret, and he only asks about the meaning of the law and filial piety in the Dongzhou faction, and has never asked Li Shangshu's thoughts. ”

Guided by Ma Tan like this, Liu Feng also said, "Yes, if I am in the position of my father, I must be a meritocracy, and virtue is a move, such as Fa Xiaozhi, who has a bad reputation and a strange temperament, will never be entrusted with important tasks, but like Li Shangshu, he is the minister of the humerus in my Shu!" ”

Liu Feng and Ma Yan's words Li Yan sighed and was full of joy...

However, he is also an old man, obedient and obedient, from the words of Ma Jian and Liu Feng, he can detect something.

Li Yan didn't hide it, and said directly: "I never thought that General Liu would be interested in the position of the son of the world..."

This...

Suddenly being peeked through, Liu Feng trembled all over his body, showing a touch of nervousness, but Ma Jian was calm as usual, "Liu Gongzi is the stepson of the lord, the stepson is like a parent, and the parent is the eldest son, since Li Shangshu said so, then we might as well open the skylight and say something!" ”

"This year's three years of master tolerance is already the year of the sixtieth year, and he is not young... Once a son of heaven and a courtier, the courtiers of the lord's generation will eventually be bleak in the next generation, but the courtiers who embrace the new generation of courtiers who rise at dawn will be the future humerus of Shuzhong, and Li Shangshu doesn't want to be suppressed by Nafa Zheng all the time, right? The Dongzhou faction should also be run by a more respectable person... This is good for Li Shangshu, good for the Dongzhou faction, and good for the foundation of Shuzhong-"

"What's more, the absurd son of the son Liu Chan is ashamed to laugh, can his actions be worthy of the lord of the succession, can he afford to carry the country? For Shuzhong, for the Han, for you, for me... Li Shangshu also waited for me to help Liu Fenggongzi! ”

With Ma Tan's words blurted out...

Li Yan's eyes flashed, and he looked at Liu Feng again and looked at Ma Yan.

At this moment, the eyes of the three of them were extremely hot, and none of them spoke, but the three of them already tacitly understood it.

…

…

Liu Bei kept pacing back and forth in the room with his hands behind his back, and his hesitant figure was cast on the window.

Zhao Yun and Fa Zheng were standing behind him, and Fa Zheng was also holding his chin, as if he was thinking about something...

Just now, Zhao Yun, as a "housekeeper", told Liu Chan's "unrealistic" but "dare to think and fight" idea of "a thousand cows" to Liu Bei and Fazheng.

This made Liu Bei and Fa Zheng fall into a long silence.

Using 1,000 cows to make "cowhide inner armor" is not a trivial matter, plus Liu Bei is virtuous and people-oriented... If it is not handled well, it is not the most terrible to arouse public anger, Liu Bei is most worried that someone will use this matter to make a big fuss and subvert his reputation.

You must know that although there are few Cao Wei secret agents in Shu, the Wudou Rice Sect has been deeply cultivated here for many years, hidden among the people...

As long as there is a chance, the remnants of these Five Dou Mi Sect have the energy to spread a piece of news and a thing to everyone in Shuzhong.

This... It was Liu Bei who threw a rat bogey.

And this... It's not a question of a thousand cows anymore!

"Zilong, did you really see with your own eyes that the cowhide soft armor can resist the sharp hidden weapon?"

Finally, Liu Bei asked Zhao Yun solemnly.

Zhao Yun didn't think twice, "I have checked the secret weapon, it is extremely sharp, coupled with the close distance, ordinary armor is categorically unable to stop it, but the cowhide inner armor that Yunqi gave to Gongzi has a light and soft texture, but it is invulnerable, such a close hidden weapon... There was not a single wound left! Not only are there no wounds, not even traces are left..."

With Zhao Yun's words, Liu Bei fell into a deeper groan, and Fa Zheng opened his mouth to ask, "What about the Gentian Bright Silver Spear?" Maybe it broke this inner armor? ”

"This..."Zhao Yun shook his head, "I haven't tried it, but I expected... It can block sharp hidden weapons, even if it can't block the Gentian Bright Silver Spear, but it can easily alleviate some of the damage..."

Zhao Yun is not a person who likes to tell lies, since he said so, then this cowhide soft armor... It's only going to be harder than you think.

If so...

Liu Bei couldn't help but look at each other with Fa Zheng.

If it is said that before, it was the grain and grass and the people's hearts and the military spirit that hindered the Northern Expedition of Shuzhong to attack Hanzhong, then in the past year, with the help of new agricultural tools, grain and grass are no longer a problem, and the treasury already has the grain of the Northern Expedition.

In terms of the people's hearts, under the subjugation of Zhang Fei and Ma Chao, all ethnic groups have returned to Han, and everything is developing in an orderly manner;

Not to mention the military spirit ...

The great victory on the battlefield of Xiangfan, the death of Eastern Wu is imminent, and Xuchang is a different master... These undoubtedly do not inspire the morale of the Shu army, and it is not an exaggeration to say that the three armies are sharpening their knives one by one and are ready to go.

So... The biggest problem that hinders Hanzhong today is the terrain...

The Yangping Pass connecting Hanzhong was personally supervised by Cao Cao, guarding the danger, and a husband should be a pass...

So to open up the road to Hanzhong, the only way to start is from the external Dingjun Mountain, but there Xiahou Yuan is well defended, and it is not easy to break through, and it is inevitable to fall into mountain warfare.

This mountain warfare is easy to say, but it really starts, tactics, experience, especially equipment... It's so important!

Because of the mountain battle, the armor is too thick and affects the climbing march, but if the armor is too light... It is also very easy to be injured by arrows and hidden weapons.

Previously, Zhang Fei fought in Sanba, and Ma Chao fought in Xiazhi.

At the time of the review... Whether it is Zhang Fei or Ma Chao, or the soldiers and horses involved in the battle, they all raised the problem of the discomfort of mountain warfare armor...

This is what the attack on Hanzhong urgently needs to solve.

If it is really as Zhao Yun said, the cowhide inner armor that Adou wants to make is light and strong, invulnerable, then... Undoubtedly, this will greatly strengthen the combat effectiveness of the Shu army in the "mountain warfare".

This is a big event that affects the whole body!

Is this a question of a thousand cows?

The more I thought about it, Liu Bei was a little sweaty...

It can be said that if it is Zhuge Liang, Huang Yueying, or even Guan Lin who proposes to make cowhide armor, Liu Bei will spare no effort to support and ask for a thousand cows, then Liu Bei will prepare two thousand cows... But Adou's words, this can't help but make Liu Bei think twice, what if Adou is messing around again?

A thousand cows are small, if these more than 1,000 internal armor are invalid, how many warriors will die on the battlefield?

For Liu Bei, there are few soldiers in Shu, and every soldier is his heart.

Now... Liu Bei's struggles and difficulties in his heart, Fa Zheng sees it in his eyes...

He can naturally understand the embarrassment of his good friend Liu Bei.

The first is cattle;

the second is the cowhide inner armor itself;

The third is the unreliable Adou.

Immediately, Fa Zheng proposed: "My lord, since General Zilong is so convinced, and it is rare for Gongzi Adou to go all out to do something, then the lord should support it anyway." ”

"Filial piety... It's not that I don't support it, but there is no evidence for this matter itself, Yunqi gave Adou an armor made of rhinoceros skin, so... What is the protective effect of the inner armor made of buffalo leather and cultivated cow leather? No one knows... This is about farming, and it's about Adou's reputation, if he fails again, the absurd name is small, I'm worried that he will collapse... I... I'm not young anymore... The world in Shu will be handed over to him sooner or later! ”

Liu Bei told all the thoughts in his heart...

Fa Zhengze proposed: "So it's best for the lord to pretend not to know about this matter..."

"Don't know?"

"That's right!" Fa Zheng's tone added a little meticulousness, "The lord doesn't have to make a move, I will help Adou instead of the lord, if Adou does this, everyone will be happy, if it doesn't work, anyway, my Fazheng's reputation in Shu is not good, plus the charge of bewitching the son, it doesn't hurt..."

"Filial piety to you..."

Liu Bei immediately realized Fa Zheng's hard work.

Fa Zheng just smiled, "The lord doesn't need to persuade me, because this matter seems feasible in my opinion, at least... Liu Changongzi's atlas is from the hand of Guan Yunqi, those wonderful inventions in Jingzhou, and Mrs. Huang's new farm tools... Including the newly established crossbow battalion and chariot battalion, aren't these ordnance all from his hands? Adou has been by his side for a long time, and I am willing to believe him once..."

This...

The law made Liu Bei stunned.

- "Where do you believe in him?" You're helping me! You're going to help Adou take on this ridiculous title..."

Liu Bei thought so in his heart, and could only say, "Since filial piety is such a decision, then let's do it... Filial piety, you must pay attention to your body, don't work too hard! ”

"This, don't worry..."

With the dialogue between Liu Bei and Fa Zheng, the matter of manufacturing cowhide inner armor proposed by Liu Chan is settled.

It's just, who would have thought ...

During the Ming Dynasty, the "sharp blade cannot enter" inner armor mentioned in the "Essentials of Martial Arts", because of Liu Chan's whims, hard thinking and meditation, came out thousands of years ahead of schedule-

The only poor ones are those old scalpers who face the loess with their backs to the sky...

This way... Liu Bei, Fa Zheng, and Zhao Yun are still discussing, the details of this thousand ox beheading...

Suddenly, "Report..."

A scribe reported: "Liu Fenggongzi and General Li Yan begged to see the lord, saying that they wanted to attack Hanzhong with their respective troops and horses, and be the vanguard of the lord-"

Not...

Liu Bei would indeed have thought that under the encouragement of the Xiangfan battlefield and under the premise that the soldiers were well fed, someone would invite the Han Dynasty to fight...

This person may be Huang Zhong, maybe Ma Chao, maybe the third brother Zhang Fei...

But what Liu Bei never expected was that the first ones to ask for battle were Liu Feng and Li Yan!

Liu Bei raised his eyes... Think for a moment.

Zhao Yun hurriedly said: "Since General Liu Feng and General Li Yan have something to ask, then they will retire first..."

Liu Bei and Fa Zheng exchanged glances, and beckoned Zhao Yundao: "Go, Zilong, Adou will rely on you more..."

Zhao Yun arched his hand: "The last general will definitely live up to the trust of the lord..."

As he spoke, Zhao Yun exited the room.

Liu Bei's voice came out at the right time, "Spread the two generals Liu Feng and Li Yan——"

This side of the car... Liu Feng and Li Yan, at the suggestion of Ma Yan, took the initiative to invite Zhan Hanzhong to earn great merits... Contribute to the position of the son.

Over there, Zhao Yun had just walked out of General Zuo's mansion... I met Zhang Fei head-on.

Zhao Yun also pondered.

- "Isn't Yide the Taishou in the Samba area? How did you come back?'

Thinking so in his heart, Zhao Yun hurriedly arched his hand towards Zhang Fei, "Yide, I haven't seen you for a long time... Yide is probably here to find the lord, the lord is meeting with the two generals Liu Feng and Li Yan, I'm afraid the three generals will have to wait for a while..."

"I'm not here to find my eldest brother..."Zhang Fei grinned and hooked Zhao Yun's shoulder, and for a while... Zhang Fei hooked his shoulders to Zhao Yun.

"Yide, what are you?"

"What must you be hiding?" Zhang Fei said as he started to do it, and he went to search Zhao Yun for a frustration...

"Yide..."Zhao Yun hurriedly retreated, "What will I hide?" ”

"No, no..."Zhang Fei shook his head and said, "What about "God of War"? You are from Jingzhou, you must have hidden "God of War" on your body? Hand it over, or I'm going to do it..."

This...

Zhao Yun's face was black, admittedly... He came back with "God of War", but he had already sent this "God of War" to the Sanba region and handed it over to Zhang Fei according to the instructions of the prince of Yunqi...

What else is in him?

"Yide, I've sent the God of War to you, is it possible... Yide didn't find out! ”

"How many chapters are there? In the past, Yunqi sent 30 chapters back in 10 days, and then 20 chapters in 10 days, but this time after a few months, it sent 10 chapters back? Is the content still shrinking? If he doesn't Guan Yunqi floating, or you Zhao Zilong is hiding it, hurry up, take all the "God of War" to me——"
