In early December, Youzhou ushered in heavy snow. (Literature Museum r />

Liu Chuang arrived in Sanggan.

This mulberry is located at the intersection of Yishui and Water Control. The river water has already frozen in the middle of winter.

After Xun Chen arrived in Sanggan, he entered the city early to rest. No wonder, after all, he was old and started a military force in Wuyuan since September. The three-month battle was indeed a bit tired for Xun Chen. Now, Yunzhong took over for Tian Yu, and Xun Chen finally got relieved.

He left Yunzhong with his family, met with Liu Chuang in Ning County, and set off for Zhuo County.

Liu Chuang could see that Xun Chen was not in a good mood, and he was even a little depressed.

Liu Chuang knew more or less about his father-in-law. Although he helped him raise an army, he betrayed Yuan Shao to a certain extent.

Of course, Xun Chen did not feel guilty for betraying Yuan Shao, but just felt uncomfortable.

Thinking back to the beginning, he and Xun Yu had their own opinions.

Xun Yu believed that Yuan Shao was not a wise monarch who achieved great things, while Xun Chen believed that Yuan Shao was born as a three-monarch in four generations and three kings, and he would definitely achieve great things in Hebei.

result……

Cao Cao now accepts the emperor as the emperor to order the princes to defeat the many, and defeats Yuan Shao in Guandu.

Doesn’t this mean that Xun Yu’s choice was correct and his choice was wrong? Xun Yu initially assisted Yuan Shao, but later believed that Yuan Shao was not a wise ruler, and even turned against Xun Chen and left Hebei. At that time, Xun Chen said that those who could revive the Han Dynasty must be Yuan Shao. But Xun Yu said that he would find a wise ruler who could truly revive the Han Dynasty, and that at that time, it would prove that Xun Chen’s vision was wrong...

By the age of Xun Chen, fame and fortune are no longer important.

But this face...especially the face between brothers, I value it particularly.

Xun Chen raised an army to rebel against Yuan Shao, which means that he was at a disadvantage in the dispute between him and Xun Yu.

Therefore, on the way back to Zhuo County, Xun Chen was depressed.

Liu Chuang knew that Xun Chen was in a bad mood, so he did not disturb him. After arriving in Sanggan, he went out of the city to patrol with Han Heng.

In the middle of winter, the outside of Sanggan City is desolate.

But I saw a vast vast wilderness and everything was lonely.

After a round of inspection, Liu Chuang returned to Sanggan County. On the way back, he asked Han Heng carefully about some situations and ordered Han Heng to start preparing. The land reclamation and farming will be carried out next year. Chameng rice was successfully tested in western Liaoning this year, and Liu Chuang was preparing to start promoting it in Youzhou. However, this process will not be too easy. There are large areas of fertile land in Youzhou, but unfortunately the population is too small.

The failure of the Su family to fulfill the alliance also made Liu Chuang a little unhappy.

The reason why he wanted to recruit Zhen was to warn Su...

However, the power of the Su family and Zhen family alone is still not enough. Liu Chuang has decided that with the mass production of Guangkashima jeep salt, he will increase his support for the Mi family.

"Lord, the second son is here."

At the entrance of the government office, Liu Chuang had just gotten off the horse and saw Wu Anguo step forward quickly.

Liu Chuang originally planned to let Wu'anguo stay in Yunzhong and be the leader of one side, but after this year's training, Wu'anguo was uninterested in leading the army alone. According to him, it was too hard to lead the army alone. The country was not a big deal, and he was willing to follow the lord and hold the horse and stirrup.

This guy actually let the good general not do it and wanted to come to serve as a guard for Liu Chuang.

Liu Chuang didn't agree very much, but Xun Chen's words dispelled Liu Chuang's idea of ​​persuading Wu Anguo.

"Yuan Ji is a simple and honest man. He leads the way every time he fights.

But he is not the material for leading the army alone. If he insists on being alone, it will be more than worth the loss. Meng Yan, your status is getting higher and higher, and most of his followers have left. In the past, Heng Ruo Yuanfu followed you, and I was very relieved. But now, seeing that you only have Li Yifeng around you, it would be a little weak. So let Yuan Ji go back, which will benefit you."

After hearing Xun Chen's persuasion, Liu Chuang agreed to Wu Anguo return.

Anyway, Feixiong Wei is going to be reorganized, and it is indeed hard for Li Yifeng alone. With the help of Wu Anguo, he can save a lot of trouble.

Liu Chuang dismounted and handed the reins to Wu'anguo.

"When did Kong Ming arrive?"

"Just arrived soon!"

Liu Chuang nodded, walked into the government office as fast as he could.

In the yamen hall, Zhuge Liang was wearing a red fur coat made of fire fox leather, holding a volume of "Shangshu Zhengyi" to read.

Seeing Liu Chuang come in, he quickly put down the book and walked forward to salute Liu Chuang, "Brother, are you still satisfied with this Sang Gan style?"

There was no one else in the yamen hall, and Li Yifeng and Wu Anguo were waiting outside.

When Zhuge Liang talked to Liu Chuang, he naturally seemed much more relaxed and casual, and there was a bit of lazy smile on his face.

“I’m very satisfied.”

Liu Chuang took off the cloak, threw it on the seat beside him, and signaled Zhuge Liang to sit down.

"In such a large Dai County, there are only 20,000 households in eleven cities, and the population is almost over 100,000... Kong Ming, if this is in Yuzhou or Yizhou, or in Jizhou, Qingzhou, that is, the population of two or three cities. I came all the way from Ning County, and I saw a deserted look, and many times there were no people in a hundred miles.

With such a thin population, how can we achieve a career?

Especially the population of Shanggu County is even smaller, and I feel a little uncomfortable due to the disaster.

Thinking about how prosperous my great man was back then, but how come it has become so unbearable? The population, without a population, will eventually be difficult to grow."

The battle of Guandu has come to an end.

Yuan Shao returned to Yecheng to recuperate, while Cao Cao was also rectifying his troops.

Liu Chuang knew very well what situation he would face next... Although he got Youzhou, the difference between him and Yuan Shao was too big.

Zhuge Liang said: "Why do you have to do this with your brother? Dominating Youzhou in just one year and becoming a prince is a career that many people will never achieve in their lifetime. Although Youzhou is not a large population now, it is not a problem. Liang thought that the elder brother does not need to rush to expand now, and should stabilize the foundation first. After all, although we have seized Youzhou, our control over Youzhou is not sufficient, and it is not appropriate to start the war again."

Liu Chuang, don’t you want to rest?

He also wanted to digest Youzhou well and take Youzhou completely in control.

But, he dared not!

Because he knew that shortly after the Battle of Guandu in history, Yuan Shao launched the Battle of Pingqiu again.

Liu Chuang could not remember the specific time, but Yuan Shao died of illness shortly after the Battle of Pingqiu. Cao Cao took the opportunity to enter Hebei.

Now that he has occupied Youzhou, will Yuan Shao still launch the Battle of Pingqiu as in history?

Another name in the Battle of Pingqiu is the Battle of Cangting.

Liu Chuang originally thought that he could temporarily relax after the rise of the Battle of Guandu. But when the Battle of Guandu came to an end, he realized that the real crisis had just begun. Liu Chuang felt a little scared in his heart because he discovered that history was developing towards a track that he could not control. As his influence on this era became greater and greater, some history he knew was also changing.

"Kong Ming, has Ziyu gone back?"

"Yeah, I've gone back."

Liu Chuang looked at Zhuge Liang and suddenly said, "Is it okay to be together with Ziyu these few days?"

Zhuge Liang was stunned, and then he understood what Liu Chuang meant, "It's not good or bad, but I haven't seen each other for many years, so I can't help but talk a little more.

He asked me to follow him to Jiangdong... Haha, I didn't agree.

What can I do when I go to Jiangdong? Sun Quan is still too busy to take care of himself. Although he is valued by Sun Quan, it is difficult to get valued. Cheng Pu and Huang Gai, the old minister of Sun Jian, who is far away, said that Sun Quan would not abandon Zhang Zhao and Zhou Yu who remained by Sun Ce. Moreover, there is also Lu Su around Sun Quan, who is said to be quite talented. He is probably ranked outside the sixth place, so how can he talk about taking care of him?"

It can be seen that there is a big conflict between Zhuge Liang and Zhuge Jin.

Moreover, he was not very optimistic about Zhuge Jin's current situation... In history, Zhuge Jin was in power in the middle of the Three Kingdoms. After Zhou Yulusu's death, Zhuge Jin took over the power. He may be highly valued by Sun Quan, but in Jiangdong, it is indeed not his turn to speak.

After hearing this, Liu Chuang just smiled.

It is indeed unlikely that Zhuge Jin wants to take Zhuge Liang away!

"What's the situation in Zhuo County?"

Zhuge Liang said: "When I left Zhuo County, everything was still normal.

Ju Su stopped attacking Yixian, but I felt that it would take him a long time to take action. This person is quite a plan, and there is no need for that stupid Yuan Xi. So before I left, I sent someone to Yixian and Wuruan Pass to ask Zhang He and Zhang Liao to pay attention."

After hearing this, Liu Chuang nodded gently.

"Kong Ming's worries make sense."

He thought for a while and said softly: "I am going to build the General's Mansion in Guangyang. What do you think?"

Zhuge Liang said: "Although I don't know why my brother wanted to build the General's Mansion there, I went to see it and it was a place with excellent Feng Shui."

Of course, that is the imperial capital in later generations.

Liu Chuang wanted to build Yanjing City, on the one hand, because it was connected everywhere, from Juyongguan to Jixian in the north, and from Gushui to the east, and from Dai County to the west, it was unobstructed. It was an excellent place to control the entire Youzhou situation; on the other hand, it was because of his bad taste. Think about it, what a glory was it to be built on the basis of the city he built?

"Well, it was precisely because I saw that the Feng Shui was very good that I made up my mind to build Yanjing.

I have ordered my family to send it to Guzhu City. Please check it out if there is no change, I think I can start construction after spring."

"Brother, please think about who will supervise it?"

Liu Chuang thought for a while, "Kong Ming thought, what is the public authority?"

"Meng Jian?"

Zhuge Liang said: "I heard Ziheng mention this person, and he is indeed a suitable candidate."

Unlike the original history, although Liu Chuang had enough friends with Zhuge, in fact, only Cui Zhouping actually became friends with Zhuge Liang. This is because Cui Zhouping and Zhuge Liang came out of the same school and both became disciples under Zheng Xuan's school. However, although the two were friends, their friendship was not particularly close. No wonder Zhuge Liang followed Liu Chuang around and did not have much chance to get along with Cui Zhouping.

Xu Shu, Shi Tao and Meng Jian have close contacts with Zhuge.

The four friends of Zhuge are probably unlikely to appear again, and the trajectory of everyone's life has also changed...
