Imperial Power Of Han Dynasty

Chapter 976

Liu Ye was slightly confused, but still said, "Invite him in."

In ancient times, many princes treated talents with courtesy and virtuous corporals before they got the job done, and they were thirsty for talents, but once they waited for talents around them, they would not pay attention to the rest of them. Liu Bei is a good example. In the first half of his life, he was displaced and defeated repeatedly. He didn't get a stable territory and didn't have the talents who could plan the strategic direction for it. After he got Zhuge Liang, the situation changed. .

Zhuge Liang pointed out Longzhong's strategic policy for Liu Bei, which made Liu Bei occupy Jingzhou and Yizhou successively, and his strength grew stronger. At this time, Pang Tong, who was out of the same school with Zhuge Liang, came to join him. Liu Bei sent him casually as the county magistrate of Leiyang County. Later, Pang Tong stopped talking and made a blockbuster, which earned Liu Bei's trust.

In fact, Sun Quan and Cao Cao did the same in the later stages. Pang Tong did not want to defect to Liu Bei at first, but went to Jiangdong, but he was more arrogant. Sun Quan asked him what talents he had and how it compares with Zhang Zhao and Zhou Yu. Pang Tong said that his knowledge is different. , Unable to compare, Sun Quan drove him away.

Liu Ye came from a later generation, read history books well, and naturally restrained such things, so even though he had never seen this person, he still chose to summon him.

Guan Hai, who was next to him, became vigilant, reaching out and holding the handle of the knife. Since the assassin incident a few days ago, his alertness has greatly increased, and everyone looks like an assassin.

However, as soon as this person walked in, Liu Ye, Jia Xu, Guo Jia, Xun You and others all lit up. They saw that the person was eight feet tall and had a magnificent appearance. He was really a rare beautiful man with a clear demeanor.

This beautiful man bowed down to Liu Ye and said in a peaceful voice, "Zhuge Liang, the idler of the Caolu, pay respect to Qin Gong."

"You are Zhuge Liang, Zhuge Kongming?" Liu Ye was taken aback, and it was Zhuge Liang who was unexpected.

Maybe some people don’t know the history of the Three Kingdoms, but he must know Zhuge Liang and must have read "Bao Shi Biao". Zhuge Liang is the incarnation of wisdom, assisting Liu Bei to grow from a corner to the master of Jingyi, and after Liu Bei's death, It is a rare genius to come out of Qishan with "Yizhou fatigue", whether it is political or military.

Unexpectedly, Zhuge Liang would appear here, Liu Ye was a little curious.

Zhuge Liang was even more curious: "Liang has been ploughing in the ridge and has never been an official. Qin Gong also knows that the district is in the following words?"

Liu Ye's face was not red and his heart was not beating. He said with a smile: "Hehe, a few days ago, the gods entrusted their dreams and said that talents are coming."

Zhuge nodded brightly: "That's it."

In ancient times, it was feudal superstition after all, and there were people like Guan Luo, and there was a reason to entrust the dream. However, Guo Jia, Jia Xu, Xun You and others are curious, and gods entrust their dreams. What is the origin of Zhuge Liang?

"I'm not a talented person, dare to ask Qin Gong, is he planning to use force against Cao thief?" Zhuge Liang said straightforwardly.

Liu Ye smiled slightly and said, "Using soldiers is a big deal, and it's not a trivial matter. Why do you think you want to use soldiers against Cao thief?"

Zhuge Liang said sternly: "Nowadays, wolves and ambitions such as Yuan Shao, Yuan Shu, Dong Zhuo, etc. have been eliminated at home. Only the Cao thief survives in strength, stubbornly resists, and arrogantly proclaims the public, and rebellious. Qin Gong is the pillar of the country, and naturally he will send troops to crusade. National thief, rectify the world!"

Liu Ye’s claiming to the public and Cao Cao’s claiming to the public are two completely different concepts, because Liu Ye’s surname is Liu, a descendant of the great ancestors, and the Han clan. According to Liu Bang’s regulations, Liu Ye can be crowned king at the highest, and according to his great merits, this is nothing. No way. But Cao Cao is different. He has a different surname. According to the ancestral system, he is no more than a prince. Feng Gong has already shown his ambition to usurp!

Liu Ye nodded: "Yes, Cao thief usurped. I will send troops to defeat this thief sooner or later, but it's not working now."

"Oh? Dare to ask Qin Gong, but what is the confusion?" Zhuge Liang bowed.

"Well, it is true. There have been wars in Hebei, Central Plains, Jingzhou, and Huainan recently. The army has lost a lot of rations. Cao Cao uses his troops like a god. It may not happen overnight if he wants to put down the Cao thieves. , Swept away Cao thief!"

Jia Xu, Guo Jia and others all frowned, wondering why Liu Ye trusted Zhuge Liang so much, and even revealed his military plans and plans, but Liu Ye was naturally at ease with Zhuge Liang, because he was an absolute Hanchen just like Xun Yu.

"That's it..."

Zhuge Liang nodded clearly and smiled, "If it is because of this confusion, Liang might have a way to solve it."

"Oh? What's the trick?" Liu Ye asked.

"In addition to studying Confucian classics and war strategies, Huang Shi, who is in the underworld and insider, has also studied the ingenious objects of the Mohist school. He has developed a thing called Mu Niu Liuma." Zhuge Liang smiled: "This object can be used for transportation. Food and grass, without labor, travel thirty miles a day."

"Oh? So amazing?" Liu Ye suddenly became interested.

Traveling thirty miles a day is actually nothing. You must know that Xia Houyuan, who is marching fast, can reach a speed of five hundred miles in three days. However, the transportation of rations is different from the advancement of light soldiers. The food is heavy and it is naturally difficult to transport, so it is necessary to recruit a large number of civilians. In ancient wars, the so-called one hundred thousand armies, hundreds of thousands of armies, in fact, a considerable part of them were civilians who transported grain.

But moving forward with weight is a hard work. If you do more, you will naturally eat more. Therefore, there is a saying called "transporting grain for a thousand miles, but the noodles are hungry." past.

Once the wooden cattle and horses are used in the military, the civilian husbands can basically be replaced, and only a few people need to be left to watch and guide the direction. In history, Zhuge Liang's northern expedition used wooden cattle and horses to transport grain and grass.

In fact, the reason why the shortage of food and grass often broke out in ancient times is not to say that there is not enough food and grass, but the geographical imbalance. The longer the distance, the greater the loss of food and grass from one area to another, because the escorts can never be half. Did not eat on the road.

Wooden cows and horses are neither humans nor livestock, so naturally they don’t need to eat.

"If Ziyang is here, he will definitely be interested." Liu Ye smiled. Liu Ziyang invented the Thunderbolt, and he also has a strong interest in mechanical manufacturing. In fact, there are not a few engineering technologies applied to the military these days, and they have verified the same truth. , War can promote the development of science and technology, and the Internet came to the fore after World War II.

"Since this wooden cow and horse is so magical, how about I wait to see it together?" Liu Ye suggested to Zhuge Liang.
