Mythical Version of the Three Kingdoms

In the latter, even if Liu Bei himself occupies the initiative, Cao Sun is enough to turn against the guest under the burden of righteousness. This kind of thing seems to be no different in terms of results in the current situation. The next generation twenty years later There is so much to say.

So in Zhuge Liang's view, this thing should either be sent directly to Liu Zhang, or to the three major princes and Liu Zhang, but only to Cao Cao, which would completely add chaos to Cao Cao.

It's not that Zhuge Liang is not optimistic about Cao Cao's will, but that Zhuge Liang feels that there is no need to take this risk. People's hearts are such a thing, it is best not to try it.

It is in everyone's interest to act wholeheartedly for the country and pretend to be ignorant. At this critical juncture, it is in everyone's interest to say less and do less.

"Secondary." Lu Meng said without raising his head. He always felt that Sima Yi was deliberately testing Zhuge Liang recently. It seemed that Sima Yi still had a stomach full of resentment for Zhuge Liang's position as the person in charge of the Congling main base.

But it's normal, if there is no response to anything, then Sima Yi has either entered the mode of a 40-50-year-old fox, or secretly conceived something not very good. In this situation, testing Zhuge Liang every day is actually not too troublesome. things.

"Send a copy to the Yuan family in the north as well." Chen Gongxu tapped his knuckles and said, "Don't underestimate this family, I always think they might surprise us."

"Alright, we in Congling should indeed contact the Yuan family in Sizhao City in the north, but do you think the name of this city is a bit too much?" Zhuge Liang nodded, but after speaking, he frowned Open your mouth and say.

"It's too much, but the name of the old Yuan's family is a matter of course. According to the name of this city, the thing buried when the foundation of this city was laid should be Yuan Benchu's sword. The old Yuan's family is indeed an opponent that cannot be underestimated. " Sima Yi said very formally.

Speaking of which, in Sima Yi's eyes, Yuan Tan's aptitude is average, which generally covers brains and qualities. In Sima Yi's eyes, Yuan Tan is a very ordinary middle-aged man, but Yuan Tan has a kind of courage. I don't know if it is because Bearing the burden of the Yuan family, the current Yuan Tan stumbled forward with the assistance of Jianpei and others.

What's more important is that it's going faster and faster. The old Yuan family now feels like it's getting on the right track day by day. Although it's messy, it's full of vigor and vitality. It doesn't have the terrifying aura of the Yuan family's overpowering the world when Yuan Shao was in power. He has the kind of attitude to lead the old Yuan's family from the wilderness, and to forge ahead with his subordinates who trust him.

Yuan Tan is moving towards the master of pioneering. Although he doesn't have the terrible talent of Yuan Shao, Yuan Tan is obviously making progress. This is no longer a ridiculous and clumsy imitation of a teenager imitating his parents and wearing adult clothes!

Now Yuan Tan has embarked on his own path. No matter which branch of the Yuan family, it seems that they do not have the talent to become an excellent commander and an excellent resourceful person, but the Yuan family seems to belong to the kind that can hold one side. People with lofty ideals, united under one's own command, forging ahead for one's own goals and the goals of everyone else.

As for Xu Shao's evaluation of Yuan Shao, I'm sorry, this is just an evaluation. In Yuan Benchu's life, except for the defeat in the great war, he has not revealed his characteristic of going along with everything. From a historical perspective , not from a brain-filling point of view, he is still an excellent monarch.

Therefore, from this life to the present, many aristocratic families seem to be separated, but they are disconnected. Even after Yuan Shu was unable to give birth to a son, most of the aristocratic families spoke very highly of the old Yuan family who would still merge.

The same person, doing different things, will result in different evaluations, just like Liu Zhang in this life, Yuan Shao in this life, and Yuan Tan now.

It is impossible for the resourceful people who know the existence of Sizhao City to treat the old Yuan family like an ordinary family. This is a prince of the same line. Even if they have not recovered their vitality, as long as the war machine is activated, the old Yuan family will not be inferior to others. princes.

Sizhao City in the north was still in the cold winter at this time, and the return of Shen Pei and Yuan Tan revived the quiet city once again.

"Has Ziyuan gone to the west of the Ural Mountains?" Yuan Tan frowned and asked, "Aren't there a lot of barbarians over there? Isn't it a little too dangerous in the past now?"

"My lord, you can rest assured that Ziyuan has basically taken down the barbarians west of the Ural Mountains, and now he is just discussing various matters with them to let them join our forces." Xun Chen shook his head, Xu You's progress has indeed surpassed It's beyond his thinking.

As for the need to consume a lot of alcohol, Xun Chen has no good way to do this. Although Sizhao City is surrounded by good farmland, the population of Sizhao City has continued to increase in the past year. The population has exceeded 800,000.

Although 700,000 of them are barbarians, this is not a problem for Sizhao City, which is short of population. People are needed to build cities, mines, and clear plains.

Even after arriving here at the beginning of last year, Xun Chen urgently asked people to open up wasteland, and then started farming in a suitable climate, harvesting a lot of food and grass on the fertile land.

But in the face of hundreds of thousands of mouths, just that little food, relying on large-scale fishing and hunting, barely supported it. It doesn't look like it, and it is impossible to produce enough food to feed hundreds of thousands of people in a short period of time.

Of course, last year, the old Yuan’s family lived together, but with Xun Chen’s plan, he managed to survive. Relying on the materials sent by Chen Xi and others when he left the Central Plains, Xun Chen was born in the same place. Over the years, Sizhao City has laid the foundation for its take-off.

As one of Russia's industrial centers in later generations, Sizhao City, where Yekaterinburg is located, has no shortage of resources in this area. In this era, as long as Xun Chen needs it, this place can use local materials.

Without raising a single idler for a whole year, Xun Chen hoarded a lot of basic materials other than food like a hamster.

High-quality iron ore, gold, silver, copper ore, lime, etc., all kinds of important materials, now Xun Chen has accumulated enough resources to start working in a short time, but now the manpower problem is almost stuck in the old Yuan's house develop.

Farming is a relatively simple matter, relying on the fertile land around Sizhao City, and the group of barbarians can still solve it. For things like mining, relying on the super rich mines near Sizhao City, you can just dig it out directly, and you don’t need a professor. How does the barbarian choose.

But burning lime, this kind of slightly technical work, made the barbarians do two rounds, one wave directly killed people, and the other wave almost died when the kiln was opened.

Xun Chen can only choose to shelve things like natural casting, steelmaking, and copper smelting. Barbarians are also an important resource, especially since these barbarians have no resistance to working hard. Xun Chen also hopes that these people will continue to ask their elders The Yuan family is working like crazy.

"I remember when we left from the north, didn't we bring more than 4,000 craftsmen with us?" Yuan Tan asked in confusion, but when running from the north, Xun Chen and Xu You took advantage of the absence Human management took away a lot of useful things.

"If there were no four thousand craftsmen, the current situation would be even worse." Xun Chen pressed his temples and said a little tiredly, "Let's put it this way, I will get all the fire-related things to be smelted, my lord, you should Know our situation."

Yuan Tan didn't answer, he was very clear about the route Xun Chen had planned for him, based on Sizhao City, after reclaiming wasteland nearby to achieve self-reliance, arming the barbarians with weapons on the spot, and then each of those middle-level elite schools would lead a thousand people, Form an army of 200,000 to 300,000 to carry out explosive expansion.

The weapons and equipment needed in this process are naturally provided by Sizhao City, and Xun Chen was busy last year because of these two items.

Listening to Xun Chen's detailed explanation, on the one hand, Yuan Tan feels that Sizhao City is indeed getting better day by day, and on the other hand, he has to admit that there are too many things that Sizhao City currently lacks.

"My lord, in fact, we don't lack other things. As long as people, no matter who they are, as long as they have skills, compared with Chen Zichuan's way of developing Taishan, I think we can replicate it with a lot of resources and manpower." " Xun Chen said solemnly.

"Then what do you think?" Yuan Tan looked at Xun Chen and asked, he didn't believe that Xun Chen had said so much and hadn't made a reasonable plan.

"If the current situation continues, there will soon be a waste of barbarian human resources. I am going to use the cement and lime we have accumulated to build a road." Xun Chen said slowly, "It is the same as the rumored one. Roads to the Western Regions were built together."

"Is it too early?" Yuan Tan was taken aback when he heard this. It would indeed be a convenience for them if the road was repaired, but it would also expose their current situation.

"No, it will take a long time to repair it. I will build it when there is an overflow of human resources. If there is a need in other places, we will put it aside first. This way, repairs and repairs will take a long time. The current priority is actually craftsmen. We may need to send someone back to the Central Plains." Xun Chen raised his head and said slowly.

"Back to the Central Plains?" Yuan Tan raised an eyebrow, "Who do you plan to let go back?"

"In fact, the most suitable person to go back is the lord himself. General Yuan Er has no descendants now. Although it is a good move to transfer power to the Sun family, the Yuan family in Runan must have accumulated a lot of manpower and material resources in the process. Resources, we need this resource very much in our current situation." Xun Chen thought for a long time before speaking.

"Then I'll go back." Yuan Tan said very grandly, as if he didn't expect the danger.
