Dongwu was ruled in Langya.

Judging from the map at the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, the location of Dongwu is probably Zhucheng in later generations.

Liu Chuang even found that, including the Langya County they were trying to seize, they also belonged to the Zhucheng County area in later generations. Liu Chuang did not have any impression of Qianzu. But if we look at the location of Qianzu, it can be roughly identified that it should be within the jurisdiction of Qingdao City in later generations.

Langya, lying on the coast.

No, it is lying on the coast!

Both cities are close to the sea and can serve as a place for pirates in Yuzhou Mountain.

Moreover, whether it is Langya or Qianzuo, they are all small counties. If they are divided according to the level of county towns in the Eastern Han Dynasty, they should belong to the subordinate counties.

The population of Langya County is about 5,000 households, more than 20,000.

The population of Qianzuo is even smaller... This is related to the size of its county town. According to the fifth year of Zhongping, it may also be the last census of the Eastern Han Dynasty. The original population of Qianzuo was about 4,327 households, and the population was around 20,000. It is smaller than that of Langya County.

Qianzuo was originally under the jurisdiction of Langya County.

However, in the early Eastern Han Dynasty, it was ceded to the jurisdiction of Donglai County.

There may be factors in this regard that the establishment of Langya Kingdom. Emperor Guangwu of Han, Liu Xiu, probably was unwilling to let Langya Kingdom have too much area.

Therefore, in Liu Chuang's view, Qianzuo and Langya counties are not enough to worry.

I'm afraid that the only place to fight is Dongwu County.

As long as Dongwu County can be conquered, Langya and Qianzu will be easy...

"Young Master, don't worry, the military preparations in Dongwu County are not worth worrying about.

Please give me eight hundred soldiers, I will send troops at night, and in three days, I will welcome the arrival of the young master at the city of Dongwu."

Taishi Ci volunteered, and Xu Chu was eager to try it out.

Liu Chuang couldn't help laughing, "Ziyi and Brother Tiger are so enthusiastic, how should I make a choice?"

"Meng Yan, we have been in love for more than ten years, so I'll give this gift to me.

Ziyi follows you all the way and has made many contributions along the way. But since I followed you, I have not made any contributions yet, which is really embarrassing."

Xu Chu waved his arms and remembered to jump and shout.

He glared at Taishi Ci and said, "Ziyi, if you dare to compete with me again, let's go out and compete.

In fact, you have a lot of opportunities to make contributions. Didn’t the young master say that after occupying Dongwu, the Qianzhu will be left to you to solve the problem, so why should you be in a hurry?”

Looking at Xu Chu's blushing face and thick neck, Taishi Ci couldn't help but smile.

If he was ten years younger, he might have competed with Xu Chu for this merit. However, Taishi Ci is now thirty-five years old and has experienced a lot of things. He has long passed the age of being competitive. Since Xu Chu is so enthusiastic, then give this merit to him.

What's more, Xu Chu and Liu Chuang have such a close relationship.

To be precise, he should be Liu Chuang’s confidant, and Taishi Ci didn’t want to have a conflict with Xu Chu because of this trivial matter.

"Since Zhongkang is eager to make contributions, I'll be bothered by Zhongkang."

"Brother Tiger, it's about your methods."

Seeing that Taishi Ci gave in, Liu Chuang no longer made things difficult for him. He smiled and took out a military talisman and handed it to Xu Chu.

Xu Chu took the order without saying a word, but as soon as he left, Liu Chuang said to Bu Zhi: "Zishan, I'm sorry to go with Brother Tiger.

Sometimes he is too strong, and I feel more at ease if you follow him."

Xu Chu recorded in historical books is by no means a rash man, but a very politically intelligent person.

However, influenced by the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, Liu Chuang always felt that Xu Chu was a reckless person, and his personality gave people a feeling that it was somewhat similar to Zhang Fei.

So, he sent Bu Zhi to accompany him.

If Taishi Ci led the troops, Liu Chuang would not have done anything more.

Although he was worried about Xu Chu, he was actually selling face to Taishi Ci to avoid feeling uncomfortable.

Taishi Ci smiled slightly, and although he didn't say anything, he took Liu Chuang's kindness.

There are more and more people under my command.

Whether it is civil officials or military generals, conflicts will inevitably arise in all kinds of things.

Taishi Ci was calm, Xu Chu Gangyong, Bu Qi was good at planning, while Lu Dai was cautious... There were Xu Sheng, Xiao Ling, including Huang Shao, who was far away in Yuzhou Mountain. It can be said that everyone had a very distinct personality. Liu Chuang discovered that he had to learn the art of balance, which is the so-called emperor's art. If these people could not be closely united by him, no matter how many people there were, it would not be useful.

That night, Liu Chuang took out the "Spring and Autumn Annals" written by Liu Tao from the book box and read it carefully under the lamp.

Because he has discovered that although he has two thousand years of historical precipitation, his precipitation in this era cannot give him much help.

Later generations often say that being one step ahead is a madman, and being a genius is a half step ahead.

The views he has may be very good, but for this era, it is too advanced.

In this era, too many geniuses emerged.

But there are probably only those geniuses who have truly achieved a good ending.

Liu Chuang doesn't want to be a madman in the eyes of the world. He wants to be a genius, but the difference between this step and a half step is too small.

As small as Liu Chuang was a little confused.

The next day, Liu Chuang ordered the camp to be drawn up.

He suddenly found that Zhuge Liang was following him on a horse and looked at him with interest.

To be precise, Zhuge Liang was looking at the saddle and stirrup on the body of the elephant dragon.

"I heard from my sister that this was designed by you?"

"Uh, yes!"

"How did you come up with this kind of thing?"

"this……"

"By the way, can you really be useful when you say that the horse-shoe is nailed to the horses? "

"I don't know if it's useful. Anyway, after a dragon nails, walking on the mountains and rivers is like walking on the flat ground..."

"That's how it is!"

Zhuge Liang started chatting with Liu Chuang with a curious look on his face.

"I heard that you flew across the dragon from the city of Qu County that night?"

"Flying across the dragon?" Liu Chuang smiled and shook his head, patting the big head of the elephant dragon, "If you say it is a dragon, then I am indeed flying across the dragon."

Zhuge Liang obviously also heard about Liu Chuang’s so-called legend of “Flying Bears Coming to the World”.

Therefore, I followed Liu Chuang along the way and asked questions constantly.

At first, Liu Chuang didn't care too much. However, as he inadvertently revealed a few views of later generations, Zhuge Liang's interest suddenly increased. He was like a child who encountered fun toys, asking around Liu Chuang. He sweated coldly and kept talking, and he had been speechless several times, not knowing how to explain. Fortunately, in the evening, the troops stopped to rest. Zhuge Ling called Zhuge Liang back, which made Liu Chuang breathe a long sigh, and felt that he felt much more relaxed.

I really don’t know if Zhuge Liang will be so curious in the future.

If so, Liu Chuang would admire Liu Bei a little.

He rested in the big tent for a while, then picked up the book and continued reading.

Suddenly, a gust of fragrant wind came over my face. When I looked up, I saw Mi Feng walking into the tent with two maids holding food plates.

"Why don't you go to rest?"

"What are you resting in the car all day?"

"Is Madam Zhuge's health better?"

"It's much better. Sister Gan's family is talking to her... By the way, what did you say to Kong Ming today? I heard from Mrs. Zhuge that he praised you very much."

"Yeah?"

Liu Chuang smiled slightly and took a wheat cake from Mian.

Dinner was very simple, a pot of mutton soup with chopped green onions, which looked pleasing to the eye.

Of course, this is still different from the mutton soup in later generations. At least there are not so many ingredients for use. Liu Chuang drank two large bowls of broth and ate three wheat cakes. He stretched his waist very comfortably.

Mi Feng whispered: "This is a good start.

I heard from Mrs. Zhuge that Kong Ming likes some strange things the most. If you want to keep him, you might as well think of more ways to do this."

A strange idea?

Liu Chuang had an idea and suddenly thought of something.

Maybe it will make Zhuge Liang interested.

After dinner, Liu Chuang sat at his desk and wrote and painted.

He drew a sketch of a wheelbarrow... In his impression, Zhuge Liang seemed to be very good at this kind of thing. He once created wooden ox and flowing horses, and invented many other items. What does wooden ox and flowing horse look like? It has become a mystery in later generations and there are many different opinions. Crossbows... Liu Chuang is not a military enthusiast, so he can't understand the principle of it. But wheelbarrows... This kind of thing is simple and clear, and you can see the structure of it at a glance. In fact, in the late Eastern Han Dynasty, the prototype of a wheelbarrow appeared, called "deer cart".

In "Book of the Later Han Dynasty", a story about a deer cart was mentioned.

In the story, Bao Xuan's wife, together with Bao Xuan, pushed a deer cart back to her hometown to get married...

Liu Chuang also saw deer carts in Qu County.
