Zhen Ren and others sent more than 20,000 refugees from Zhongshan Country, so they placed them in Changping County and took on the construction of Yanjing. // Visit and download txt novel // At the same time, the old lady even assured Liu Chuang that he would try to increase the population of 200,000 to Youzhou in this new year. Liu Chuang did not ask the old lady how to increase these populations, but he assured the old lady that if the Zhen family could do it, he would agree to the Zhen family selling private salt in northern Xinjiang.

Whether it is the Xianbei people or the Huns, there is a great demand for salt.

Since the Western Han Dynasty, salt and iron have been listed as strategic materials and are prohibited from being transported to the Hu people.

However, although the government explicitly prohibits it, the people who sell private salt pig iron are constantly banned. In this world, as long as there is a benefit, people can take risks. Liu Chuang knew very well that it was basically impossible to ban salt from flowing into the grassland. Just look at the Lunu Su family and the Zhang family in Tang County are all engaged in private salt trafficking. Even the Mi family started their own business by selling private salt and even became a powerful man.

I can't forbidden, so I will try to keep this in my hands.

Although Zhen gave up his ancestral property and defected to Youzhou, there was certainly a last resort, but he was also bewitched by Liu Chuang.

Since the fifth year of Jian'an, Liu Chuang closed the Zhen family's business route in Liaodong, and the Zhen family's vitality was greatly damaged. However, this time they came to Youzhou, which brought a lot of convenience to Youzhou. The delivery of nearly 80 million yuan of grain was enough to add a lot of confidence to Liu Chuang. It is said that he is polite to exchanges, but the Zhen family has a similar family, but the Su family has pushed for it. Since this is the case, Liu Chuang is of course more willing to allocate some of the benefits to the Zhen family.

When Yuan Xi died, the past grudges were written off.

The Zhen family killed Yuan Xi, which was a confession and was firmly tied to Liu Chuang.

Since that's the case, why bother to use it?

For Zhen, Liu Chuang opened the salt road to them, which represented a huge benefit... Unlike Yuan Xi. The general of the North seemed to prefer mutual benefit rather than to squeeze hard like Yuan Xi. Even if Zhen brought 80 million yuan of grain, Liu Chuang did not look at it. He still asked Zhen to preserve the money and grain, and in this way suppressed the rising grain prices in Youzhou.

Mrs. Zhen was also very happy about this.

The only regret is that shortly after they arrived in Changping, Liu Chuang ordered someone to send Zhen Mi back...

The old lady carefully asked about the causes and consequences carefully, but found that things did not seem to be as she imagined.

After Uncle Liu kidnapped Zhen Mi, he didn't even touch her at all!

What does this mean?

The old lady was a little confused.

Could it be that Uncle Liu is not attracted to my Xiao Mi?

It’s just like this, the old lady couldn’t ask someone to ask Liu Chuang. She couldn’t force Zhen Mi to wait with doubt...

++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

On the 22nd day of the first lunar month of the sixth year of Jian'an, Liu Chuang set out for the Ban family after making arrangements.

At this time, Huang Zhong and Xu Chu, who had received the order, had set off from Dong'anyang and arrived at the Ban's County. This Ban's County was not very large. It was only 13,000 people in total, but under the jurisdiction of Dai County, it could be called a middle-superior city.

It is adjacent to Yanmen and is also a county town to the west of Dai County.

When the Ban people woke up one night, they found that thousands of Han troops had been stationed outside the city.

It was the 28th day of the first lunar month when Liu Chuang arrived at the Ban family.

Originally, he could have arrived earlier, but due to spring plowing, he had to stay in Dai County for a few days and held a burning ceremony with Han Heng.

So Liu Chuang arrived at Ban's family, and Huang Zhong and Xu Chu had already set up camps.

Xu Chu seemed a little excited when he welcomed Liu Chuang into the camp. It turned out that this guy had never encountered a big battle in the Lao Fu camp after the battle in Dushan, so he was a little urgent.

"Lord, Xu Chu is willing to be the pioneer when he goes to the expedition."

"Xu Laohu, why did you go back on your word?" As soon as Xu Chu asked for his order, he annoyed Old Huang Zhong, and immediately slapped the table and said, "We have agreed before that I will be the pioneer. Why did you change your mind as soon as your lord comes?"

Xu Chu laughed, "General Hansheng calmed down. I promised to wait until the lord arrived, but I didn't say that I would give up the vanguard's position."

"Xu Laohu, I know that you are good at fighting in the old camp.

However, when the lord attacked Yanmen this time, there is a saying that the soldiers are the most powerful and fast. You are full of heavy armored infantry, how can you compare to our cavalry?

I won’t deceive you, but if you really want you to be the vanguard army, what should I do if I miss the opportunity to fight?”

Like Xu Chu, Huang Zhong has not encountered a major war since his troops left western Liaoning, and he is even less than Xu Chu.

In any case, Xu Chu participated in at least one military Dushan battle. However, Huang Zhong has never fought with the enemy since he captured Wuzhong. Seeing Zhao Yun burning Yan Township, he heard that his son-in-law Xiahou Lan galloped in the north of the frontier. Even Xu Sheng and others fought several times in Yunzhong. Even Zhang He, Gao Lan, who surrendered, was fighting with Yuan's army in Yi County. This also made Huang Zhong even more itchy.

Seeing Huang Zhong and Xu Chu blushing in a quarrel, and then he almost staged a live pk in the big tent, Liu Chuang also had a headache.

To be honest, whether it is Huang Zhong or Xu Chu, you can stand alone.

Liu Chuang originally planned to split into two groups after the Ban family gathered, but he expected that the two of them would have a dispute.

This was the first time that this happened. Liu Chuang looked at the two of them and couldn't help but smile bitterly.

But no matter what, these two generals couldn't really fight in the central army's tent!

Liu Chuang was about to persuade him, but he noticed Zhuge Liang beside him and gently pulled his sleeve.

"Please rest the wrath of Thunder, listen to Liang slowly."

When Zhuge Liang opened his mouth, Huang Zhong and Xu Chu closed their mouths.

Although Zhuge Liang is not old, his actual achievements in the past two years are placed there, even as arrogant as Huang Zhong and Xu Chu, he admires them very much.

What's more, Zhuge Liang is Liu Chuang's brother-in-law.

As the current situation continues, sooner or later, it will be the first master under Liu Chuang.

At the same time, Huang Zhong and Xu Chu and Zhuge Liang also had some friendship to the point of being in trouble. Zhuge Liang stood up and said, and the two of them had to give some face no matter how they were.

"General Huang, General Xu."

Zhuge Liang smiled and walked to the sand table, "This time we capture Yanmen, we must fight quickly.

Now that Peng'an stationed troops in Dingxiang, Yanmen's troops are not strong. However, if you take it lightly, it is difficult to guarantee that you will be defeated. The battle of Yanmen requires preventing the attack of the Yuan army in Taiyuan. Therefore, to seize Yanmen, you must first take Juzhu Mountain.

On the way here, Liang and the lord had already discussed it and prepared to split the troops into two groups.

One way, the lord is personally supervised and crossed the harem and flew straight to Juzhu Mountain; the other way is to have a general commander, go to Juyang and Wang Tao, and seize Xiawu Mountain to capture the Yinguan. No matter which way it is, it is not easy. But I wonder which general is willing to seize the Yinguan for the lord and establish his first contribution?"

Yinguan is the capital of Yanmen County.

Huang Zhong and Xu Chu looked at each other, stood up almost at the same time, and shouted loudly: "I will be willing to go."

Seeing this, Zhuge Liang couldn't help laughing.

"Both generals are willing to fight, but only one can command the army.

Liang and the lord both trusted the bravery of the two generals very much, and it was really hard to choose... It would be better to do this. How about the two generals draw lots?"

Draw lots?

Huang Zhong and Xu Chu, look at me, I look at you. At the same time, he said: "Get lots if you draw lots!"

"Haha, Liang also knows that drawing lots is a joke, but it's really...

It is said that it is up to fate. Let’s see which general God chooses to share worries for the Lord.”

After saying that, Zhuge Liang wrote two notes, kneaded them into two balls of paper and placed them on the desk.

"Which general will come first?"

"Zhongkang!"

Huang Zhong stepped forward and grabbed Xu Chu's arm, and said emotionally: "Zhongkang. You have known each other for several years. When you were in Qingzhou, you fought with your lord many times, but I have never complained. Now I am getting older and I don't know if there is any chance to go into battle in the future. Just now, you and I have been fighting for you and I have been worrying about you. Now I'm going to get a lot, so what if I want me to catch it first?"

"this……"

Xu Chu hesitated for a moment.

It was just as hesitated that Huang Zhong took a step forward, chose a piece of paper, and quickly opened it.

"Mind Hall!"

Huang Zhong was immediately overjoyed and showed the handwriting on the paper ball to Xu Chu.

Xu Chu was stunned and was about to speak, but Zhuge Liang said, "Since General Han Sheng chose Yinguan, it was destined by God, so the general led his headquarters to fight."

While speaking, Zhuge Liang put away another ball of paper with lightning speed.

"But……"

Liu Chuang stood up and smiled and said, "But what... Could it be that Brother Tiger doesn't want to fight side by side with me?"

Xu Chu waved his hand repeatedly when he heard this, "Lord, you know I have no intention."

"Since that's the case, please ask Zhongkang to go to Juzhu Mountain with his lord... You should know that this Juzhu Mountain is equally important, and you need to beware of Taiyuan Yuan's army coming to help."

Xu Chu always felt something was wrong, but now that things have come to this, he doesn't have to say anything else.

Could it be that I would say: I don’t want to fight side by side with my lord?

Even if he has a good relationship with Liu Chuang, saying such words will inevitably make Liu Chuang feel resentful.

"It's obviously my chance, but it's a cheap guy."

Huang Zhong nodded secretly to Zhuge Liang, but said seriously: "This is God's will, Zhongkang has given up."

Now that things have come to this point, Xu Chu can only bow his head and accept his fate.

Zhuge Liang immediately ordered the two of them to go down and prepare. He was about to leave, but he heard Liu Chuang say behind him: "Kong Ming, remember to burn the paper ball."

"ah?"

Zhuge Liang staggered under his feet and turned his head to look at Liu Chuang.

"You said I don't know that both lots are written in Yinguan... Hehe, when you made lots, you secretly winked with General Han Sheng, and I saw it all. But this kind of thing must not be repeated. If I didn't think General Han Sheng was suitable, you must expose your trick."

After Liu Chuang finished speaking, he came to Zhuge Liang with a smile, and reached out to pat his shoulder.

Zhuge Liang smiled awkwardly and scratched his head without arguing.

In fact, as Liu Chuang said, Zhuge Liang's two lots were written in the Yinguan. After writing, he winked at Huang Zhong and asked Huang Zhong to choose first.

Xu Chu is invincible, but he is not suitable to take on the burden of seizing the Yin Pavilion.

Liu Chuang also thought so in his heart, so he helped Zhuge Liang conceal... Otherwise, how could Xu Chu easily submit?

This guy has always been an ignorant person to mess with him.

If he insists on seeing another lot, even if Liu Chuang persuades him, he will inevitably have a gap with Zhuge Liang.
