Chapter 157 I Have a Great Army Named Rende

Every time he went out, Kong Ming would be particularly envious of future generations.

Especially the high-speed rail that was repeatedly mentioned, which was said to take only six hours from Chengdu to Xi'an.

After receiving the news from his lord and Shi Yuan, Kong Ming took Sun Gan, Mi Zhu and others and two thousand craftsmen, and set out from Jiangling all the way west to Sichuan.

Either walking or riding a horse, or taking a boat in reverse, it was not until mid-October that Kong Ming finally arrived in Chengdu.

"Although Liang praised the fertile land of thousands of miles in Longzhong, this is the first time I have seen it with my own eyes."

Kong Ming stood on the city wall, looking at the plains in the distance, feeling the local customs and customs here.

His voice was quite regretful:

"The food in Chengdu is slightly different from that in Jingzhou, but it is very similar."

"What does Kong Ming think the food in Chengdu should be like?" Pang Tong next to him was very curious.

Kong Ming looked longing, thinking of the amazing scene he saw in the Wuhou Temple in later generations, and described it:

"The pot is full of red oil, the ingredients are floating, the heat is rising, the taste is spicy, and the eaters are sweating profusely."

Pang Tong shook his head, thinking that Kong Ming was seriously ill. Is the Chengdu of later generations the same as the Chengdu of today?

Forget about anything else, there is a high-speed rail in Chengdu in later generations, while it is too bumpy to run a bull cart in Chengdu now.

Pang Tong put on a smile on his face and said:

"Fortunately, there is Prime Minister Zhuge's strategy for governing Shuzhong for reference. The Yanguan and Jinguan have all been set up. Kong Ming should work hard and not be compared with Prime Minister Zhuge!"

Kong Ming shook his head: Do you speak for others?

"My lord has invited me to see the Chengdu treasury left by Liu Zhang. There is still some money left, which is just right for Chengdu. Gongyou wants to recruit civilians to repair the straight road in Chengdu, rebuild the canal, build a new water power plant, and promote iron smelting. All of these require money."

While talking, the two also saw that Sun Gan had brought a team of soldiers not far away, and together with the people of Chengdu, they started to repair the bad roads in Chengdu with tools. The people also stood aside and watched curiously. Sun Gan took the opportunity to talk to the people. No sound could be heard, but it was guessed that most of them should be saying that there would be money for work.

At this time, someone came to inform Kong Ming that a scholar from Yizhou came to visit.

Kong Ming took the business card and laughed:

"How about Shi Yuan come and meet me?"

Pang Tong was curious. After conquering Yizhou, he was not busy. In terms of governing Yizhou, Kong Ming's policies in the light curtain were all adopted and promulgated by him, but it would take time to take effect.

So he was quite free at this time, and was curious when he heard the words:

"Do you have great talent?"

Kong Ming stuffed his business card into his sleeve and smiled mysteriously: "You will know when you come."

The two of them went down the city wall, bypassed the road that was being dug, went into the alley, jumped over a smelly ditch, and finally came to the back door of the magnificent government office.

After passing through one door after another, Pang Tong finally saw the back of a man in a wide robe and wide sleeves.

The man turned his head, and Pang Tong saw a pair of narrow eyes, with two mustaches on his upper lip, giving people a feeling that it was difficult to talk to him.

"Fufeng Fa Zheng, meet Zhuge Military Advisor."

Before Kong Ming spoke, Pang Tong called out first:

"Are you Fa Xiaozhi?"

Fa Zheng looked at this ordinary-looking man strangely, and said to Kong Ming seriously:

"I heard that Zhuge Military Advisor had arrived a few days ago, so I came to visit him today."

When Jian Yong passed by Yizhou before, Fa Zheng had a good chat with him, and he had already found out at that time that if the emperor's uncle's subordinates were to be valued, Zhuge Military Advisor would be the first choice.

Recently, the emperor's uncle has been surrounded by the great families of Yizhou. Fa Zheng, who has no say, has chosen the next best thing and visits Zhuge Military Advisor.

"I have heard of Xiaozhi's talent for a long time." Kong Ming intends to cut the Gordian knot: "Xiaozhi, why don't you go with me to see the lord..."

"Wait!" Pang Tong shouted.

Fa Zheng's smile just appeared on his face, but it froze: Who are you?

Pang Tong circled around Fa Zheng twice, his eyes full of scrutiny:

"What position did you hold before? What achievements did you make?"

Fa Zheng reluctantly replied: "I was the magistrate of Xindu County before."

Pang Tong continued to ask:

"How old are you?"

Fa Zheng just felt puzzled:

"Born in the fifth year of Xiping."

Pang Tong summed it up in his mind:

He is three years older than me, and has no achievements, no fame, and I, Pang Tong, will not be hit by a stray arrow this time, so what is there to be afraid of?

So Pang Tong waved his hand with great pride:

"Xiaozhi, why don't you help me achieve the master's plan for Hanzhong!"

Fa Zheng didn't say anything, but his eyes meant one thing: Who are you?

Kong Ming smiled and interrupted:

"This is the great talent of Jingzhou, Pang Tong, who is known as the phoenix child with the talent to assist the world!"

"This time, the plan for Yizhou came from his hand."

Fa Zheng was immediately in awe: he was still entangled in the gains and losses of a county magistrate, while he had already planned to seize the land of a state!

"Dare not to die for him?" Fa Zheng had no reason to disagree, and he would be able to talk to the master if he made some achievements.

Almost at the same time, in another part of the government office that occupied a large area, Liu Bei was holding Zhang Song's hand and talking.

"I have the opportunity to serve Lord Xuande, and Song has no regrets in this life."

Zhang Song was filled with emotion, thinking of their meeting last year, when he was planning to be an insider to help Lord Xuande take Yizhou.

Unexpectedly, they would talk here again in just one year.

"If Ziqiao loses his integrity, I will not feel at ease even if I take Chengdu." Liu Bei changed the subject lightly.

"However, I still regret that another great sage in Yizhou, Liu Zichu, did not join my army. Please ask Ziqiao to take my place."

Zhang Song had no objection, but was a little worried:

"Liu Zichu had advised General Zhenwei several times before. After Lord Xuande entered Yizhou, he claimed to be ill and did not go out anymore. I am afraid..."

Liu Bei shook his head: "Here are two letters written by the military advisor, namely "Discussion on the Wuzhu Coin Standard" and "A Brief Account of the Coin War", please ask Ziqiao to take them."

Looking at Zhang Song's departing back, Liu Bei suddenly remembered another great talent in Yizhou:

Where is Fa Xiaozhi? Why hasn't he come to surrender after entering Chengdu for so many days?

When Chengdu was busy, Jian Yong had already left Yizhou with a letter written by Liu Bei, Pang Tong and Zhuge Liang.

Persuading Liu Zhang to surrender was not a feat worth boasting about for Jian Yong himself.

So Jian Yong took the initiative to refuse the reward from his lord and planned to go to Yongliang with this letter. On the one hand, he wanted to meet Ma Chao again, and on the other hand, he wanted this letter to be sent from Guanzhong to Xudu.

It was closer to Xudu from Jiangling, but unfortunately there was the fire of Chibi in the front and the defeat of Le Jin in the back, and the Jingxiang area had been completely cut off from each other.

It was not easy to go from Yizhou to Guanzhong, but Jian Yong knew where his talent was, so he was happy to do it.

Even…Jian Yong, dressed as a merchant, rode on a horse, took out a small notebook from his bosom, and began to record what he saw and heard along the way with a hard pen.

He Jian Xianhe was not the type to compile history books, but if he was knowledgeable and traveled far and wide, he should still be ranked among the best.

It would be better to leave some customs and experiences of the time than a few humorous words in the history books, right?

…

Zhao A finally did not become a soldier, just as Li Gong advised:

His parents were both dead and he had no wife, so he only needed to plant more land for two years to save money.

With money, life would be completely better, so why bother to go to the army to suffer?

What Li Gong said always made sense, so Zhao A put all his thoughts on his idle land.

Until October, Zhao A was weeding hard in the field with his butt sticking up, and he caught a glimpse of a stranger standing in the field next door.

"Are you the new farmhand hired by Mr. Li?" Zhao A greeted him with a little caution.

"Mr. Li sold me his land." The man looked at the land and seemed quite satisfied.

"Ah?" Zhao A didn't understand: "Without the farmland, how can Mr. Li live?"

The man's tone was quite envious:

"Mr. Li has a lot of wealth. It is said that he sold the land and house in Zigui, bought a small boat, and went to Chengdu."

"Ah?" Zhao A stood in the field with his eyes blank and very sad, like an abandoned big child.

At the first moment, Zhao A thought about selling the land and going to Chengdu.

But he quickly stopped this idea: Mr. Li has a lot of wealth, what does he, Zhao, have? Just with that jar of money?

Zhao A has been to Jiangling City and knows that the jar of money he is proud of is nothing.

Standing in his own field, Zhao A looked around blankly. Life has improved, why did Mr. Li withdraw?

But Zhao A actually understood in his heart. After going to Jiangling, he realized that Zigui was not a good place.

Otherwise... go to Jiangling to try your luck?

Zhao A also had this idea in mind. For a moment, he just felt that there was no point in farming this land.

…

The process of Liu Bei's capture of Chengdu was not bloody at all, and could even be described as gentle and drizzling.

But the big families in Chengdu were all attached to him. This was of course because Liu Bei was quite famous for his benevolence, and the big families had twelve thousand trust in this uncle.

It was definitely not because of the tens of thousands of troops stationed outside Chengdu by the silver-armored General Zhao, and the hundreds of cavalry that had never been seen in Shu.

During this period, the details of the north of Chengdu were also slowly spread to Chengdu through the mouths of the people.

The famous generals in Shu, Gao Pei and Yang Huai, died and surrendered. In just a few days, the Baishui Army, the strongest army in Shu, was completely destroyed.

If the fall of Baishui Pass could still make them curse Gao Pei for being brave but not wise, and being taken advantage of by the enemy without a fight,

The death of Yang Huai under the city of Langzhong made them lose their temper.

A famous general relying on a strong army was actually penetrated by 300 cavalrymen and beheaded in the battle?

Shuzhong has been at ease for too long. Could it be that they really don’t know the heroes of the world?

Although they have never seen cavalry, the big families in Shuzhong also know that the best combat terrain for cavalry is the plain.

For example, the small plain of more than 30 miles south of Langzhong City.

For example, the fertile fields of thousands of miles west of Chengdu.

Relying on the reputation of "benevolence" guaranteed by Zhao Yun, Liu Bei's decrees issued in Shuzhong can be said to be as easy as commanding an arm.

The construction of the water power house and the establishment of the Dujiangyan Weir officials cheered the big families.

The reconstruction of the waterway transportation and the renovation of the road in Chengdu, etc., the big families even contributed money and effort to help Sun Gan speed up the progress.

In this case, when Liu Bei proposed to revise the "Shu Law", although the big families had some complaints in their hearts, they could only accept it because of Liu Bei's benevolent politics and benevolence.

So at the end of October, Liu Bei sat at the head of the government office, and for a moment he felt very high-spirited.

Zhuge Liang, Pang Tong, Mi Zhu, Zhang Song, Liu Ba, Fa Zheng.

The only generals here were Zhao Yun and Zhang Fei.

"According to the time, Gong Yan and Ji Chang should have been copying." Liu Bei sighed.

When he was in Jiangzhou, he could still go downstream and rush back, but now he can't get away at all.

Then the light curtain suddenly opened in the air, which shocked Liu Bei on the spot.

Two chapters were released at the same time
