Chapter 3158 When luck meets energy
『Brother!!!』
With a loud shout, a roll of silk in Liu Bei's hand fell on the table with a slam.
"Brother!!! Look at me killing a dragon!"
Zhang Fei screamed, and rushed into the courtyard with a smell of blood, shouted at Liu Bei in the hall, and waved backwards, "Come in! Carry it into the courtyard! Show my elder brother!"
"Jiulong?" Liu Bei couldn't help but be curious, stood up and left the hall.
The "dragon" mentioned by Zhang Fei was very big. He used six people to tie them with ropes and carried them on shoulder poles before he was carried into the yard.
The appearance of "Jiaolong" is very ugly, but at first glance, you can tell that it is very ferocious.
In fact, if there are people from later generations present, they will recognize that the so-called "Jiulong" killed by Zhang Fei is actually an enlarged version of the Yangtze crocodile...
The ancients said about dragons that this kind of creature can appear and hide, and they usually lurk in deep pools. Only when thunderstorms and storms and storms can they successfully overcome the tribulation and become a real dragon.
As for the appearance of dragons, most of them are covered with scale armor, invulnerable to swords and guns, with leopard-like eyes, long jaws and large mouths, conical fangs and strong limbs, sharp teeth and claws, long tails, snake-like ring armor on the abdomen, etc.
Isn't this a crocodile appearance?
But in ancient times, this was the "Jiulong".
After all, in addition to the endangered species Yangtze crocodile, China actually has a larger crocodile species - Han Yu crocodile. This thing is really big and more in line with the ancient people's imagination of dragons.
Because only Han Yu's articles are recorded in history, this is the name.
Of course, there is another saying about the origin of this title, but it is not very important at the moment. What is important is that Zhang Fei, a reckless man, really killed such a "Jiulong".
"I heard that this dragon was a disaster to the village, devouring pigs and cows, and killing villagers, so I set up a trap to lure it to the shore..." Zhang Fei said with a chorus, "Wow, this guy is really strong! Fortunately, I installed an iron hook on the bait, so it didn't escape..."
Although it was not Zhang Fei's credit, the deep hole in the crocodile's forehead was Zhang Fei's blow to establish the victory.
"Third brother, you are too reckless!" Liu Bei walked around Zhang Fei twice, and saw that although Zhang Fei had blood on his body, there was no injury. Then he felt relieved and complained, "What should I do if I hurt my third brother?!"
"I can't hurt! Injury... Well, brother, I know..." Zhang Fei defeated Liu Bei's eyes, and then muttered in a low voice, "I heard that this killing dragon... can take away his luck... I originally wanted to catch it and let the elder brother kill it, but unfortunately this beast is really fierce and cannot catch it... I took action... Anyway, my luck is also my luck..."
"Ah hey!" Liu Bei was both angry, funny, and a little moved, "Where did you hear nonsense?"
"Nonsense?" Zhang Fei glared, "Why is this nonsense? Didn't Emperor Gaozu cut off the dragon in Mangshan back then?"
Liu Bei was very helpless, "That's just a snake...and it's not in Mangshan, but in Mangdangshan..."
"Ah...this...ahhahaha..." Zhang Fei scratched the back of his head, "Anyway, this is all killed... I will use this dragon to cook at night! Brother, please eat more!"
"Hi!" Liu Bei didn't want to reject Zhang Fei's kindness, and he no longer said anything he wouldn't have any luck after eating. Instead, he patted Zhang Fei on the back, "Remember! There is no next time!"
Zhang Fei nodded, "Yes, I've inquired too, there are no such big dragons around him..."
"It's not possible!" Liu Bei was very serious, and then asked someone to drag the "Jiaolong" down to deal with it, and asked Zhang Fei to wash and change his clothes.
After a while, Zhang Fei came back after taking a shower. Seeing Liu Bei sitting in a daze, he thought Liu Bei was still angry, so he patted his chest and promised that he would not make any more trouble next time. Then he changed his voice, "Brother, this dragon... really has no luck?"
『Ah…』 Liu Bei sighed, 『No...really. Think about it, if there were so many emperors in the Han Dynasty, and those people with ulterior motives...If there were really some luck...how could these guys survive until today?』
『Oh...hey... I thought..." Zhang Fei slapped his thigh, 『Brother said... It's a pity, tsk tsk...if there was really...』
"It's useless if there is one..." Liu Bei smiled bitterly, picked up the silk on the table and handed it to Zhang Fei, "Here, look."
Zhang Fei took it and opened it, "Jiangdong Sun Family? What are they going to do? To form an alliance... and we still want to attack Sichuan and Shu? To control it with a stroke? This...
Zhang Fei raised his head and looked at Liu Bei, "Brother...this..."
Liu Bei was silent and sat next to the table.
The sunlight shines through the window lintel and reflects on Liu Bei, half bright and half dark.
After a while, Liu Bei said: "Actually, when I think about it, the cavalry and us don't have that big grudge... My second brother wrote to him that he had discovered another large island, which was even larger than the Qiongya before... I expanded the territory... Why bother fighting for Sichuan and Sichuan?"
Liu Bei turned his head and looked at Zhang Fei, "So I said that this luck is empty... Only the land we have built is real... After they fight, we will concentrate on opening up the territory! Even if a hundred years later, the world of Han will still have the reputation of you and my brothers! The names of your and my brothers will remain in history forever!"
"Brother is right! I'll listen to you!" Zhang Fei nodded and threw away the silk in Jiangdong, like throwing a piece of rag.
Liu Bei laughed and then turned his eyes out the window.
Distant mountains, smoke from cooking.
This world is really as the cavalry said, not just the Central Plains...
...
...
Zigui.
Jiangdong Camp.
Huang Gai stood on the water village observation deck, looking at the densely packed ships on the Yangtze River.
The flags roared in the east of the Yangtze River, drums and roars sounded, and water and land were advancing against the flow of the Yangtze River, like a long dragon, stretching endlessly.
Zhu Zhi officially handed over military affairs with Huang Gai.
When Zhu Zhi said that it was Zhou Yu who went to Jiangling Water Village in person and had a long talk with Zhu Zhi, Huang Gai couldn't help but change his own ideas.
Especially Zhu Zhi's vague statement that after Zhou Yu's health was not good, Huang Gai felt even more uneasy.
Human thoughts will change...
If it were in later generations, even a fool would often hear others say a word about the overall situation, the overall situation, etc., but what about the great man?
Do you really think that the three words "global view" are a compulsory course for nine years of compulsory education, and can you learn it no matter what?
Huang Gai's overall view is not lacking, but it is not high enough. He is naturally much higher than those of Jiangdong's peaceful guys, but if he is asked to sacrifice everything from his family to complete the Sun family's great cause...
If Huang Gai only sacrificed himself, he would have gritted his teeth and could not say anything. After all, he had followed Sun Jian all the way back then. Although he was still brave, he would have to sacrifice his entire family, or follow Huang Gai's group of people to achieve others. Then Huang Gai really couldn't do it.
Or at that time, Huang Gai had to take the whole family to do his best at Sun Jian. There was no problem, but now he couldn't do it.
Is Huang Gai a replacement?
Have you reduced your wisdom?
None of them, it is Huang Gai's "Family" that has expanded.
Huang Gai is like this, isn’t Zhu Zhi the same?
Jiangdong accompanied Sun Jian all the way, and then followed Sun Ce to defeat the people from Jiangdong. How many of them could be like Zhou Yu, who remained in ambition from beginning to end, and consistently put the Sun family's foundation in front of him?
Only the Grand Governor of Zhou in Jiangdong.
Only.
No one can compare to it!
The sound of the war drum horn gradually faded away.
The last warship went away, and Huang Gai still didn't get down the watchtower.
『General…』 Huang Gai's confidant asked in a low voice, 『This…Governor Zhu really wants to attack Sichuan and Shu?』
『…』 Huang Gai was silent for a moment and whispered, 『That should be...』
"Then can Governor Zhu really kill Yu Fu?" asked again.
Huang Gai was silent and said for a while, "I hope this will be done..."
My confidant couldn't understand it very much, but when she saw Huang Gai's expression was unwilling, she didn't ask much.
Huang Gai knew in his heart that even if Jiangdong is united, the key to whether it can conquer Sichuan and Shu depends on the gentry system of Sichuan and Shu, and whether he can agree with Jiangdong.
If you don’t recognize it, it will take time and energy to chew it little by little. If you agree, it will be simple, and it will almost be issued an edict.
The Sichuan and Shu gentry were in a corner of the Han area. The relatively closed nature also determined that the Sichuan and Shu gentry's strategy of handling matters would be similar to that of relatively closed, and they would not like Fei Qian's radical strategies too much. As long as they seize this opportunity at the moment, Jiangdong is not completely without a chance of victory.
Before Huang Gai set out, Zhou Yu also asked Huang Gai to talk about this issue in detail, and said that Fei Qian and Xu Shu and others also had internal conflicts of interest with the local families and major families, and had serious conflicts. These were the best opportunities for the Jiangdong Army.
As long as Jiangdong shows enough strength...
Zhou Yu planned it right.
Alas, Governor...
Huang Gai raised his head and looked at the sky.
In history, Liu Bei entered Sichuan, and also seized the conflict between Liu Zhang and the local gentry, and took advantage of the situation and did not really chew it. He just fought a tough battle or two, and all Sichuan surrendered.
Of course, Liu Zhang's weak personality in history is not comparable to Xu Shu and Zhuge Liang, who is in charge of defense in Sichuan and Sichuan, but the contradictions in Sichuan and Sichuan still exist, and the conflicts between ethnic minorities and Han people still exist. These contradictions cannot be like in the game, either 1 or 0. These contradictions in reality are often very uncertain, and may break out due to some trivial inspirations, or may be hidden and stopped for a long time.
Zhou Yu's plan is of course to take advantage of these contradictions and use the intensification of the war to make the Sichuan and Shu army internal and external forces. At that time, the Jiangdong army will be under the brink of the outside of Sichuan and Shu, and various internal problems will break out. Even if Xu Shu has four hands, it may not be able to fully press and appease it. Then Jiangdong can find an opportunity to fight directly.
but……
I am afraid of everything, but Jiangdong is no exception.
Unfortunately, the momentum of Jiangdong's march was blocked again and again. Even if we regained our strength, it was not as powerful as before.
This is due to the sharp counterattack of the Sichuan and Shu army, but it is also indispensable for internal factors in Jiangdong.
There are even Huang Gai's own negligence and shortcomings in handling matters.
"Governor..." Huang Gai murmured, "You are right... It's a pity..."
If Jiangdong was defeated because of this, maybe others would not do anything, but Zhou Yu himself...
Thinking of this, Huang Gai's strong body couldn't help but tremble slightly.
The river wind is cold and the bones are broken.
...
...
The wolf smoke rolled up.
Zhuge Liang's early warning posts arranged by the Yangtze River conveyed the news of Jiangdong's full march into Sichuan and Sichuan to Yufu.
In a lobby, there is a huge sand table.
Yufu, due to its very important geographical location, was established here since the Spring and Autumn Period. During the Qin Dynasty, Jiangguan was established here, specifically to control the waters of the Yangtze River. During the Western Han Dynasty, in order to strengthen the rule of this area, he also stationed troops here for a long time, and specially established a Jiangguan Duwei, with a rank of the same level as the prefect of Bajun. At the same time, Yufu's agricultural economic system was also very good, and there was also a specially established Orange Officer...
The terrain here is dangerous, surrounded by mountains and rivers through the mountains, which is a must-fight for military strategists. If the Jiangdong Army wants to march into Sichuan and Sichuan, this is a key point that must not be avoided.
In the sand table, some officials marked the key points around the fish and the Jiangdong Army model inserted into the river channel made of white sand.
"The Jiangdong Army is moving forward side by side, and the speed of progress must be unfast." Gan Ning pinched his chin and his expression was flying, as if he had recovered from his previous decadent state. "If I were given one hundred walks, I could be here..."
Gan Ning pointed to a certain place on the Yangtze River, "The water flows here and swirls, which can disrupt the forward! Heavyly defeat his sharpness!"
Gan Ning was so energetic that she was almost completely different from her decadent appearance after losing.
Zhuge Liang smiled, ignored Gan Ning's bold words, but turned around and asked Huang Quan who was beside Gan Ning, "Has the surrounding villages and villages been settled?"
Huang Quan nodded and delivered the documents inside his sleeve to Zhuge Liang for reading, "Please read the record...all have been placed..."
According to the rank of the post, Zhuge Liang is now engaged in the General Cavalry Office and the Chief Secretary of Yizhou. In fact, he is one level lower than Huang Quan's prefect of Ba County. However, Huang Quan did not be rebellious because he was older than Zhuge Liang, or had a higher rank, or despise Zhuge. Instead, he cooperated respectfully, and even assisted as Zhuge's deputy.
Because Huang Quan truly admires Zhuge Liang.
Unlike Gan Ning, who likes to fight and kill, Huang Quan attaches more importance to the ability of people's livelihood and government affairs.
Zhuge Liang is indeed very strong in this regard.
Huang Quan originally thought that if he was fighting against the enemy, he would be enough to build a solid wall and clear the field, and then he would pay attention to the production recovery in the coming year. However, after Huang Quan came to Yufu, he realized that Zhuge Liang actually treated the solid wall and clear the field as an opportunity to start education to deal with it...
In Sichuan and Shu, the difficulty of education is more difficult than that in the Southern Xiongnu.
Although the grasslands and deserts are barbaric, it is difficult to have closed areas under such an environment. The Hu people themselves are nomadic, and then absorb this tribe or annex that population. Therefore, they will not reject foreign Han culture in an extreme way.
But there are too many copycats in Sichuan and Sichuan.
The ancient copycat can even be traced back hundreds of years...
Therefore, during the entire process of Xu Shu's management of Sichuan and Sichuan in recent years, the conflict between the mountain people and the Han people was never completely eliminated, especially among these extremely closed parodies, where there was basically no soil for the survival of the Han Chinese Han Dynasty culture, and even the bachelor of agriculture and engineering were not welcomed.
But now, with the reason of Jiangdong, a crack was knocked out in such a closed hard shell. Huang Quan's reputation among these tribes is naturally more effective than other officials. Many of the fake villages were moved and transferred under Huang Quan's persuasion, making Yu Fu approach this area, and to some extent, it has achieved a relatively thorough clean wall and clearing the fields.
No one wants to suffer a military disaster and die innocently, so temporarily leaving the area that may be attacked by military disasters will naturally be recognized by most mountain people. Once they leave the parody and come into contact with the outside world, they want to go back...
If such things are done in normal times, even if they give these counterfeit people extra benefits, these counterfeit people will not be happy. If there are too many subsidies, the Han people will have their opinions on the other hand.
But now, the cost is not much and the effect is very good. It is simply a three-killing victory.
The people of Jiangdong never dreamed that their march into Sichuan would help Xu Shu, Zhuge Liang and others to promote the education of Sichuan...
After reading Huang Quan's resettlement document, Zhuge Liang first praised Huang Quan for his meticulous hard work, then turned to Gan Ning and said, "General Gan, the thief army is coming, there must be spies to contact us..."
Gan Ning sniffed and said, "Please rest assured to engage in it! The surrounding soldiers and patrol scouts have been arranged! Just wait for them to fall into the trap!"
Zhuge Liang's ability in investigating traitors also made Huang Quan admire him.
With the cooperation of Wensi, he secretly had some contact with Jiangdong, and was flirting with each other, or provided convenience for the spies in Jiangdong. Even a little bit of clues were found by Zhuge Liang, and then he pulled it all over the place, and the evidence was conclusive, so he couldn't even find any opportunity to argue.
Zhuge Liang smiled slightly, "Brother Gongheng, I remember some people before... willing to abandon darkness and turn to light..."
Huang Quan was stunned and then understood, "The Chief Secretary said, let these people act as counter-espionage? But what if...
"The false and the real," Zhuge Liang smiled and said, "It's not enough to defeat it, but it's enough to try it."
『This... I understand..." Huang Quan nodded and said, 『I will make arrangements now.
Gan Ning watched Huang Quan leave from the side, pointed at his nose and said, "Then...what am I? What am I doing now?"
Zhuge Liang smiled and said, "Please ask General Gan to lose another game... But, this time the deception will be adjusted..."
"ah?!"
Another fraudulent defeat? Gan Ning felt that he was not doing well.
Chapter completed!
