Multiverse: Beginning with Forced Binding
Chapter 505: Building momentum
Xinye is a remote county with a small population and land, and even the city walls are not high. Liu Biao sent Liu Bei to Xinye, and he did not expect this guy to really do anything.
In Liu Biao's view, it was nothing more than a waste utilization, letting Liu Bei and his men go to Xinye as cannon fodder.
It would be good to wait and stop Cao Cao's army, but if they can't stop it, there is still Xiangyang City behind.
People in Liu Biao's power never pinned their hopes on Liu Bei. Liu Bei was really miserable at this time.
Liu Bei had no shortage of fierce generals. Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, and Zhao Yun were all fierce generals of the time, in the first sequence. There were also Zhou Cang, Chen Dao, Liao Hua and others behind them, but the civil officials were not good.
Jian Yong, who followed Liu Bei at the beginning, was not a civil official. It can only be said that he was not a military general, and he did a little bit of civil servant and diplomat work.
Mi Zhu was relatively better. He came from a merchant family and helped Liu Bei take care of the logistics. There was no problem.
Mi Fang is not reliable, he is just a slacker. If it weren't for Mrs. Mi's face, Mi Fang would not have a stable job.
Apart from that, Liu Bei's biggest problem is that he has no one to use. He has some troubles, and he can't even find someone to talk to.
Of course, Liu Bei can use Guan Yu and Zhang Fei as tree holes, but he wants not only to complain, but also to find a solution.
No matter how much Guan Yu and Zhang Fei listen, it's useless if they can't come up with a solution to the problem.
Jingzhou is a place with outstanding people and the most literati. Liu Bei is so envious that he thinks about any literati, and forgets about celebrities. People look down on him.
In fact, not only celebrities look down on Liu Bei, but even ordinary literati look down on Liu Bei.
The literati in Jingzhou have their own circles. They are more optimistic about Liu Biao. What's the point of following Liu Bei instead of currying favor with the governor of Jingzhou?
Liu Bei was at his wit's end. He asked around, trying to find talented people to help him. However, Zhuge Liang was not well-known at that time, and there was no legend about him outside.
Liu Bei had heard of the name of Chen Xi in Longzhong. He was a rare and powerful general, but that was all. He had no shortage of powerful generals.
Liu Biao once sent someone to find Chen Xi to ask if he had any idea of becoming an official, but was rejected by Chen Xi.
Liu Bei didn't have to worry about it. Even Liu Biao didn't like him, let alone himself. Forget it, that's it.
Chen Xi still lived a secluded life in Longzhong. When he had nothing to do, he would go to the fields to grow grain. He was mainly improving grain varieties suitable for this era and increasing grain production.
Zhuge Liang also began to manage his own social circle. He couldn't work behind closed doors. He needed to have contact with the literati circle.
Zhuge Liang was a man with a strong goal. If he wanted to do something, he would do it with all his strength.
When he learned that Liu Bei had come to Jingzhou, he analyzed it and felt that this person was very suitable.
Liu Bei has a good reputation, and his reputation is not small, and all of them are good reputations. He has many talented people under him, but he has no literary talent. The most important thing is that Liu Bei is ambitious.
This is the best goal.
Zhuge Liang knows that it is not a good deal to rush to the front. If he is too proactive, the other party may not pay attention to him, not to mention that he is still too young.
Zhuge Liang needs to build momentum for himself and lead Liu Bei to invite him out of the mountain. Only by making efforts can he appear precious.
Building momentum requires connections. It is definitely not enough to stay in Longzhong all day. Zhuge Liang thought about it and set his sights on Pang Degong, who is a famous scholar in Jingzhou.
In the days that followed, Zhuge Liang came to Chen Xi's house less frequently, and spent more time maintaining his own network of contacts.
Zhuge Jun didn't have so many ideas. He just wanted to stay in Chen's house, practice martial arts here, and there were so many delicious foods.
Zhuge Jun's perseverance impressed Chen Xi, who thought that the third son of the Zhuge family could be made into a talent. Since he couldn't specialize, he should be able to learn both civil and military skills.
So, Chen Xi arranged two versions of the pill package for Zhuge Jun. He didn't expect this kid to become as good as his two brothers, but at least he was much better than in the original book.
Strengthening the ability of thinking and logic, commonly known as opening up, will make Zhuge Jun less rigid when reading military tactics in the future.
"The art of war is in your heart, it is not immutable. The art of war only gives you a concept and reference. When you apply it on the actual battlefield, you must also combine it with the situation at the time."
"When leading the army to fight, don't use the military book to stick to the actual situation, otherwise you will become Zhao Kuo."
"Read the military book carefully, you must read more, and turn war into an instinct."
"What is instinct? Instinct means that you can see the problem on the battlefield with just a glance."
"You also have to learn to be ruthless, not only to the enemy, but also to your own people. When leading the army to fight, cannon fodder is often needed."
"There is no fairness on the battlefield. What position are you standing on to say this?"
"Remember, you are not a soldier, you want to be a general. A general's success is the result of the sacrifice of thousands of people. Do you think the battlefield is a joke with you?"
Zhuge Jun listened to Chen Xi's teachings very seriously, and he was also muttering in his heart, could it be that Brother Qianhe had been on the battlefield?
All the martial arts that should be taught have been taught, and the shadow guards don't have to keep an eye on Zhuge Jun all the time. When he was free, he began to learn steelmaking and ironmaking.
Chen Xi didn't like doing this. He didn't learn it in the world of "Earth Mistake". Not to mention the raging heat waves, he didn't need it.
If Shadow Guard was willing to try to learn this, then let him learn it. He didn't want to learn it anyway.
Zhuge Jun's weapons and armor were all made by Shadow Guard. After many attempts, the style was chosen from this era, nothing special.
On the battlefield, if you don't have absolute strength, dressing yourself up like a peacock with its tail spread out is tantamount to seeking death.
Chen Xi has the capital, he is not afraid, but Zhuge Jun is not. He wears fancy clothes and may be shot to death by someone.
Ordinary armor, ordinary sword, and ordinary spear as long weapon. He learned Yang family spearmanship.
According to Chen Xi's training method, by the time of the Battle of Chibi, Zhuge Jun can be regarded as a general.
It's good, better than the little transparent in the original book.
In "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", the Zhuge family is also regarded as the three bets. Zhuge Dan of Wei, Zhuge Jin of Dongwu, and Zhuge Liang of Shu Han are not counted. Even Zhuge Zhan and his son are more famous than Zhuge Jun.
How embarrassed is Zhuge Jun, the elder?
Zhuge Liang's progress was good. First, he was indeed knowledgeable, and second, he had a good image. In this era, people were judged by appearance.
If Pang Tong was not from Pang Degong's family, with his appearance, he would not be able to get the name of "Phoenix Young", let alone integrate into the literati circle.
Zhuge Liang also made a few friends little by little, and gradually made his name famous.
In private, whether Zhuge Liang and Pang Degong had any PY transactions, Chen Xi didn't know, anyway, Zhuge Liang's name of "Wolong" was spread out.
Pang Tong also became "Phoenix Young", and it felt that Pang Degong was more or less buying one and getting one free.
In the literati circle of Jingzhou, there were not many people who recognized "Wolong" and "Phoenix Young", mainly because the political concepts and ideas of the two sides did not match.
Zhuge Liang thought of a way again, to get traffic.
Since the outside world doesn't know me, then find someone who knows me, and tie myself to the celebrity, so that the outside world will have a certain understanding of my ability.
After a selection, Zhuge Liang chose Guan Zhong and Yue Yi, which means that he is good at both civil and military affairs.
This analogy made Chen Xi sneer. It's not that I look down on you. In terms of imitating Guan Zhong, you are far worse than me, my brother. I really opened a brothel.
Zhuge Liang has come up with all kinds of tricks. The rest is to sit back and wait for Liu Bei to come.
Zhuge Liang is also popular. Xu Shu expressed his willingness to help Zhuge Liang explore the way to see if Liu Bei is really worth serving.
Xu Shu changed his name to Dan Fu and joined Liu Bei, becoming a counselor under Liu Bei.
Xu Shu didn't expect that Liu Bei was so easy to satisfy. After getting his assistance, this guy actually didn't think about other counselors anymore.
It's quite a posture of "you are enough".
Xu Shu was numb. It was not convenient to talk about Zhuge Liang at this time. Let's take it one step at a time.
Zhuge Liang was still studying hard. He had too much to learn. After building up his social circle, he once again followed Chen Xi to learn miscellaneous knowledge.
Compared with the past, the Zhuge family now occasionally entertains friends. Those are Zhuge Liang's friends, and Chen Xi is not interested in knowing them.
Generally, when Zhuge Liang entertains friends at home, Zhuge Jun comes to Chen's house. This guy almost sleeps at Chen's house.
The Zhuge brothers have their own things to do, and no one can take care of each other.
Zhuge Liang started to play marketing strategies with his friends, changing the impression of the villagers of Longzhong on him little by little, and then changing the vulgarity of the villagers of Longzhong, thereby increasing his bargaining chips.
Zhuge Jun followed Chen Xi's path, and had no idea of building good relationships in the local area. The most important thing was to live happily.
The villagers of Longzhong Village began to slowly accept Zhuge Liang, but they respected and feared Chen Xi.
They respected Chen Xi for being able to keep Longzhong Village safe, and they were afraid of his cruelty.
A poor man in the village couldn't help but say a few words to Kawakami Tomie when she went out, and then he was kicked to death by Chen Xi.
The locals didn't even dare to report to the police, and hastily found a place to bury the poor man, and the matter was over.
Since then, people in Longzhong Village have avoided Chen Xi when they saw him.
When this happened, Zhuge Liang happened to be with Pang Degong, otherwise he would have been nagged by him again.
Zhuge Liang advocated the concept of "rule of law", and Chen Xi didn't object to this, but it depends on the situation. For now, "fist truth" is more useful.
Anyway, the two people have ideological conflicts in many aspects, and it is difficult for Zhuge Liang and Chen Xi to have a good personal relationship.
The two people have a unique tacit understanding of their way of getting along, that is, don't talk about business. As long as they don't talk about business, there is no need to worry about quarrels.
Zhuge Liang never told Chen Xi about his future plans, let alone preparing to assist Liu Bei. He knew that Chen Xi had no intention of leaving the mountain.
Zhuge Liang has his own style, and so does Chen Xi. If the princes of the time don't come to visit him three times, he will never come out.
After traveling through so many worlds, Chen Xi has come to terms with it. A time traveler doesn't necessarily have to do something big. Since he started out as a farmer, it's not bad to live in seclusion here.
Chen Xi's daily routine is to play with cats. Maoqiu has always maintained the form of a kitten, which is very soft and cute.
Zhuge Liang never asked about this matter. He thought that anything wrong happening in Brother Qianhe's family was normal.
Zhuge Liang didn't have the concept of a time traveler in his mind, and his imagination wasn't that big yet, but he vaguely felt that the Chen family didn't seem to be from this world.
Their words, behaviors, and thinking patterns are all incompatible with the people in this world. As for the deeper reasons, Zhuge Liang didn't think about it.
No matter what it is, as long as Brother Qianhe doesn't harm himself, it's fine.
Zhuge Liang saw something, and Chen Xi also saw that this guy saw it, but he didn't care.
"What a normal thing." Chen Xi said indifferently: "That's Zhuge Liang, a wise man who is almost a demon. Do you think we can hide it with our family's habits?"
Kawakami Tomie thought about it and agreed.
"As long as it doesn't affect the development of the situation and doesn't intend to harm others, Zhuge Liang won't think too much."
"Boss, do you look at Zhuge Liang differently because of his reputation that has been passed down through the ages?"
"Tomie, you know, the more people lack something, the more they desire it." Chen Xi laughed self-deprecatingly: "The qualities of Zhuge Liang happen to be what I don't have."
Zhuge Liang was dedicated to the public, devoted himself to the public, and died for it. His life was synonymous with loyalty. Even when he was in power, he didn't do anything bad when facing a helpless person.
This is what Chen Xi doesn't have. In essence, he is a sophisticated egoist.
"No matter how many worlds I travel through, my nature will not change, so I admire people like Zhuge Liang, but I can never become such a person."
"Since you admire him so much, why don't you think about changing his fate?"
"Haven't you already taught him the Five Animals Health-preserving Exercise?"
"Then do you really not care about the development of the situation?"
"I haven't thought about it yet, let's talk about it later." Chen Xi became a little irritated: "Let alone other things, I can't just watch the Five Barbarians' Rebellion against China."
"Boss, this is not your style."
"I don't love it that much, it's purely a racial stance."
Kawakami Tomie didn't say anything else, thinking that it was fortunate that the boss was a Han Chinese. If he was a Mongolian, would he help Mongolia fight the Central Plains after traveling through time?
In Xinye, Liu Bei was also training soldiers. The training of soldiers was handed over to Guan Yu, Zhang Fei and others, and the training of formations and coordination was handed over to Xu Shu.
However, Xinye's population was really small, and the grain production was not enough. It couldn't support so many soldiers at all, and the individual quality of the soldiers was not good enough.
It's not easy to have enough food, let alone eat well. How can we train strong soldiers if we can't even provide nutrition?
Xu Shu was a little anxious, so he wrote a letter to Zhuge Liang: [Brother Kong Ming, do you really mean the increase in grain production you told me last time? ]
In Longzhong Village, Zhuge Liang received Xu Shu's letter. He was a little confused after reading the inquiry in the letter.
It was true, but the problem was... the improved grain was not his own.
