Above the banquet.

Staggered.

Meng Da had a smile on his face and repeatedly toasted Liu Chan.

"His Royal Highness pacified Runan, and his reputation is also heard of in the three eastern counties, such a feat is really admired by the last general."

Liu Chan was noncommittal, but said: "It's all soldiers who use their lives." ”

Meng Da continued to flatter: "As long as His Highness is here, that pseudo-Wei is just a chicken and a dog's ear, and it can be easily defeated." ”

Seeing that Meng Da had a more and more ruthless posture, Liu Chan took a sip of wine, glanced at him, and asked, "How is the general going to govern Fangling County in the future?" ”

Govern?

Meng Da's face was embarrassed, and he said: "If you want to fight at the end, it's okay, if you govern the place, it's not what you are good at. ”

Liu Chan shook his head and said: "Since Zhuyang entered Fangling, along the way, the road is tortuous and dangerous, many places are full of potholes, it is difficult to get through to cars and horses, and the general's first priority is to repair the road well." ”

If you want to get rich, build roads first.

If this road is not repaired, do you still want to develop Fangling County?

Isn't that a dream?

In addition, as a channel for transporting soldiers, grain and grass, it connects Hanzhong and Nanyang.

If this road is not good, won't it delay the fighter plane at a critical moment?

Road?

Meng Da's face was bitter, so he had to say: "There are only 100,000 people in Fangling County, and it is already a good effort to support the army of nearly 10,000 people. ”

As soon as Meng Da's words came out, Guan Ping tore the golden leg of mutton, and his mouth was full of oil, but at this moment, he said: "General Meng Da doesn't need to worry, the mountain bandits under the command of Meng Da have been rushed and killed by His Royal Highness, and they can't become any climate." ”

Your Highness has rushed to kill?

Meng Da was stunned.

"That piece of slash has come and gone without a trace, like a loach, slippery and greasy, you can't catch it at all, Your Highness can actually hit it hard?"

Liu Chan smiled lightly and said: "For different situations, different methods must be applied, I use the caravan's baggage as bait, and the army lacks supplies in the mountains, so naturally I will not let go of this good opportunity, not to mention, I pretended to be a businessman, and I had already informed the school government through the secret agent of the school office, with my bait, that is, the company knew that there was an ambush, but he was still unwilling to come to try his luck." ”

"I see."

After listening, Meng Da had to sigh.

"His Royal Highness uses his body as bait, and he is so bold that he is really admired by the last general."

This guy really seized the opportunity to shoot Liu Chan's ass.

"In the opinion of His Highness, I want to mobilize the people of the county to repair the road? How many people are good? ”

Liu Chan pondered for a moment and said, "The mountain road is rugged, and if you want to repair the road well, you will have to kill a lot of people. ”

In later generations, when the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau was building a railway, it crossed countless mountains and rivers, overcame various difficulties such as lack of equipment, permafrost, and altitude sickness, and sacrificed nearly 3,000 railway soldiers.

The conditions of this era are even worse, and in the middle of lofty mountains, this will only be more difficult, not smaller.

Death and injury are also indispensable.

"It's best to let criminals and pawns fix it."

Although this Fangling County is a place of exile for criminals, the number of criminals is not enough to build roads!

"There are hundreds of criminals, and there is not a single one."

If it was last year, there would have been a pawn, but now there is really no pawn.

"Why doesn't the general capture the mountain bandits to repair the road?" Fei Yi suddenly said on the side.

There are countless bandits in the three eastern counties, and the whole group is only the largest one, and the rest of the small mountain bandits are even more numerous.

"In that case, the Admiral will understand."

Meng Da looked at Liu Chan, and vaguely had such a thought in his heart:

This is His Highness's test for me!

It is necessary not only to build roads, but also to keep Fangling County from causing chaos, and to pacify the bandits in Fangling County!

If I do this errand well, I will naturally be reused by His Highness, if I do not do it well, then he has no talent and is not worthy of His Highness's reuse.

"One year, one year! In the end, it will be necessary to repair the road in Fangling County, and two carriages will be able to pass by then! ”

Crossing the official road of two carriages?

In the plains, it is considered a narrow official road, but between the mountains and mountains, it is the widest.

In many places, there may be a need for plank roads to connect.

It's a big project!

"In a year, it's too rushed, I'll give you three years!"

Meng Da wants to express himself.

If it takes three years to complete His Highness's task of building roads, then how can his talent be seen by His Highness?

"The last general is willing to make a military order, and if the road is not repaired within a year, please behead me in order to set an example!"

At this moment, Meng Da had already gotten up and knelt in front of Liu Chan.

"Good!"

Liu Chan got up and stepped forward to help Meng Da up.

"The general is full of momentum, it is really admirable, I will let Runan transfer 1,000 soldiers to Fangling County to help you repair the road."

A thousand more?

Hearing this, the joy on Meng Da's face could not be concealed at all.

"With the support of His Highness's thousands of people, this matter is worry-free!"

Liu Chan's expression was serious, and he said: "Don't talk so much, if there is a rebellion in Fangling County because of the road construction, my first thing is to ask you, do you know?" ”

"Your Highness, rest assured, Fangling County must be ironclad, and no one dares to oppose it!"

"Eliminating mountain bandits, repairing roads, and developing people's livelihood, all things are complicated, and the general may be difficult to deal with alone, so I will leave ten students from the martial arts hall here to give official positions and help the general govern Fangling County!"

Those students from the Lecture Hall brought from Runan were naturally going to be sown along the road.

This is not only to give them official positions, to give them the opportunity to display their ambitions and show their abilities, but also to Liu Chan's eyes to control and supervise the localities.

Liu Chan's team, Liu Chan's cronies, and Liu Chan's capable officials did not come all at once.

It is to be tempered in the place, and if you have the ability, Liu Chan will reuse it, which is the original intention of Liu Chan to establish the martial arts hall.

He's going to take control of the place!

"If there is the help of the wise men of the Martial Arts, it will be even better!"

Meng Da knew that His Royal Highness had placed his own people on him.

Assistance is true, and so is oversight.

But Meng Da didn't care at all!

He was afraid of what he was doing, Liu Chan couldn't see it, and now that His Highness was by his side, then his performance would have an audience, wouldn't it?

"Today, a year later, Zen is waiting for the general's good news!"

Meng Da beat his chest with his right hand, and the hammer made a loud noise.

"The last general will definitely live up to the trust of His Highness!"

Stayed in Fangling County for three days.

Understand the local situation, meet with the local scholars, recruit people from the sons of fifty Haoqiang, act as the prince's personal guards, and recruit three people into the lecture hall, which can be regarded as a shallow acceptance of the scholars of Fangling County.

After that, Liu Chan summoned the Mengda tribe and immediately rewarded him.

It was also a wine and meat reward for the army, which caused the sergeants and soldiers to live again and again, and they all praised Liu Chan and wanted to die for him.

After doing these things, Liu Chan also stayed for a long time.

Let Yin County order Dou Xiao to return to Nanyang with 4,000 people, and Liu Chan took 2,000 people out of Fangling City and headed towards Shangyong.

Stationed in Shangyong, it is the Shen brothers, Liu Chan rewarded and encouraged, a big stick and a turnip, and ordered the work of repairing roads, eradicating mountain bandits, and developing people's livelihood.

Then ten students from the lecture hall were placed in Shangyong County, five children of the Shen family were summoned into the lecture hall, and fifty children of the local Haoqiang clan were recruited to fill the prince's personal guard.

It can be regarded as a simple subduing of the hearts of the people of Shangyong County.

After that, the operation was no different from that in Fangling County.

Reward the army, give a reward, and show your face fiercely in front of the military division of Shangyong County!

As a sovereign, this person's heart is naturally to be bought.

Three days later.

Liu Chan set off again, and this time the destination was Xicheng County, where Liu Feng was located.

Ten days of trekking.

This is from Shangyong County to Xicheng County.

Outside Xicheng, Liu Feng, who was dressed in official robes, had already led a group of officials from Xicheng County to wait for Liu Chan outside the city.

Seeing Liu Chan coming, Liu Feng hurriedly saluted and said, "Your Majesty greets Your Highness." ”

That's right.

Your Majesty.

If it was a year old, Liu Feng still had some thoughts in his heart that he couldn't have.

After a series of events, he had already put himself in the position of a courtier.

Don't dare to think about it anymore.

He himself knows that even if he thinks about it, it is in vain.

Today's His Royal Highness, is he just Liu Feng able to touch porcelain and replace him?

Even, after this pile, one thing after another, Liu Feng admired Liu Chan a little in his heart.

With such a lord, the king's ambition to revive the Han dynasty will be realized?

"Brother doesn't need to be polite, get up quickly."

Liu Chan helped Liu Feng up and said: "Suppress the three eastern counties and lead the troops to Nanyang to help, what my brother did, Chan saw it in his eyes." ”

Liu Feng said sonorously: "This is what your subordinates should do." ”

"Let's talk about it inside."

Liu Feng reacted at this time, and hurriedly said: "It's Your Majesty's inadequate hospitality, Your Highness, please." ”

After entering the city, the sight in the west city is much better than the situation seen in Fangling and Shangyong.

People come and go, quite lively.

Among the three eastern counties, only Xicheng County has no banditry.

It's not that there are really no mountain bandits, but Liu Feng has led his troops to clear them up several times.

Speaking of Liu Feng, this person is quite capable.

Liu Fengzhi, the son of Benluo Hou Kou, and the nephew of Changsha Liu. Liu Bei went to Jingzhou, and had no heirs, and raised him as his son.

Liu Bei was displaced in the first half of his life, so he did not leave any heirs, "Wei Luo" said that when Liu Bei was defeated in Xuzhou, he had a son who fell into the hands of Cao Cao, and I don't know if it is true or not.

In short, when Liu Bei was attached to Liu Biao in Jingzhou, there was no son to inherit the lineage for him, the ancients "have three unfilial pieties, and no queen is the greatest", Liu Bei, who is already in his forties, has to consider the problem of future generations.

Liu Feng was selected.

Liu Feng is not an ordinary person, he showed extraordinary talent at a young age.

When attacking Liu Zhang, he won many battles and attacked the three eastern counties, which also showed his ability to take charge of himself.

Among the young generals under Liu Bei, Liu Feng's ability is relatively strong.

It can be called a star.

In his previous life, because of Guan Yu, Liu Feng fell into the fate of being given death, and in this era, with him Liu Chan, this kind of thing will naturally not happen again.

And Liu Feng's ability can really be displayed in this era.

When I arrived in Xicheng County, it was still a three-day inspection period.

In three days, the things he did were the same as those done in Shangyong and Fangling.

Of course, there are some differences.

Compared with the Shen brothers and Meng Da, Liu Chan and Liu Feng have a closer relationship.

In the past three days and nights, Liu Chan slept with Liu Feng.

In order to appease Liu Feng's heart, Liu Chan can be regarded as letting out his 'flesh'.

His own Lao Tzu's big move, as a son, can't lose his housekeeping skills.

Three days later, Liu Chan reorganized his troops and horses outside the West City, and prepared to follow the Han River and go straight into Hanzhong.

In the more than a month of entering the three eastern counties, it can be regarded as a gain.

appeased people's hearts and made the three eastern counties, which might have been turbulent, completely stabilized.

"Your Highness rest assured, suppressing bandits, building roads, and people's livelihood will definitely be done well, and His Highness will not be disappointed."

Liu Chan smiled and said, "Brother has the heavy responsibility of the three eastern counties on his shoulders, so act carefully!" ”

As he spoke, Liu Chan whipped his horse and whipped him no longer.

The mountain trail is difficult to walk.

He walked in the mountains for fifteen days.

Liu Chancai entered Hanzhong and went to the Longting camp.

Liu Chan knew that this was the entrance to the Meridian Dao that Wei Yan had written to him before.

That's right.

Wei Yan has been in contact with Liu Chan.

Wei Yan is originally Liu Bei Yuancong, he is not like Guan Yu, Zhang Fei and Zhao Yun, he is so close to Liu Bei, and he has no daughter or son, so he can stay by Liu Chan's side and contact feelings.

He kept in touch with Liu Chan from time to time, expounding his aspirations, asking about the art of governing the place, and learning the method of defeating the Wei army.

In general, Wei Yan is a person who knows how to drill camps.

"The last general, Wei Yan, meet His Highness."

Liu Chan passed all the way through the three eastern counties and arrived in Hanzhong, Liu Chan had already sent a messenger to inform him.

At this moment, Wei Yan was waiting under the Longting camp.

Seeing Liu Chan coming, he immediately stepped forward to salute Liu Chan, and his humble appearance did not look like a general at all.

"The general doesn't need to be polite."

Liu Chan jumped down from his war horse and helped Wei Yan up.

"Thank you, Your Highness."

Wei Yan stood up, but his expression was a little uncomfortable.

Just because Liu Chan stared at him deadly, he couldn't wait to see every pore on his body.

He was shocked.

Could it be that His Royal Highness has the goodness of Longyang, the habit of broken sleeves, and has fallen in love with a certain one?

If I have to sleep with you late at night, how do I deal with it?

If Liu Chan knew that Wei Yan would think so, I was afraid that he would directly come to a Puxin man, a real shrimp head to answer him.

Liu Chan stared at Wei Yan deadly, mainly to see if he was as rumored.

Looking at it carefully, Wei Yan's face is thoughtful, where does he seem to have a backbone?

If he really had a backbone, how could Liu Bei hand over such an important matter as guarding Hanzhong to him?

But

This person really has to be beaten, otherwise, I am afraid that he will repeat the mistakes of future generations.

"When I was in Runan, I heard that the governor of Hanzhong was in good order, and the Wei army did not dare to attack, but instead wanted to defend the governor with heavy troops, and the people under his rule lived and worked in peace and contentment.

The governor is full of red light, and the officials and soldiers behind him are also the same, thinking that they will not suffer from hunger and cold, this Longting is just a camp, but it is so strong, which shows the ability of the governor. ”

was praised by Liu Chan, Wei Yan was like drinking ice cola in dog days, which was called a cool.

"Your Highness has praised it falsely, this is the last general's business."

Liu Chan smiled lightly, but said, "I heard that the governor is preparing to use troops against the Meridian Dao and preparing to attack Chang'an?" ”

When asked about the matter, Wei Yan also became serious.

I saw him nod heavily and said, "Your Majesty does have this intention!" ”
