The portable magic tower of the Three Kingdoms

"Let's see if this Liu Tao is really that powerful." Liu Hong just took it for fun and didn't care too much, "By the way, since this wine is brewed by Zhang's family, it tastes good, let's list it as a tribute! "

He felt that Liu Tao's ability to produce so much wine should be the result of discussions with the Zhang family.And the purpose of the Zhang family's production of so much wine should also be to make the name of the 'Jiu Xian Niang' famous.

The point is that this wine is really good, at least there is no other wine as strong and mellow as it.For this reason, it is not a bad idea to give a "tribute" title.

"Thinking about it, the Zhang family of Zhuo County should be grateful to His Majesty." Zhao Zhong flattered.

He also didn't expect that, relying on this opportunity, Jiuxian Niang would become a tribute.For similar products, one of them becomes a tribute. Unless it is disqualified, it is difficult to allow other brands to become tributes.

In a sense, it also protects Jiuxianniang. Even if there are other brands, Jiuxianniang is still the most valuable among the high-level wines... Originally, he had to discuss with Zhang Rang to find a way to get the wine making formula Got it.

It is still valuable to get it now, but if it is brewed by the Jiuxian as a tribute, then other wines will not be so valuable.

The matter came to an end here, Liu Hong finally waved Zhang Rang and Zhao Zhong back, and drank in the palace by himself.

Strong alcohol entered his throat, and Liu Hong, who was accustomed to low-alcohol alcohol, still felt uncomfortable.Putting down the wine glass, looking at the jug brewed by Jiuxian, he muttered: "The family of scholars can't be trusted, what about the clan?"

Liu Chong, the king of Chen, conscripted soldiers in the county, and his tribe has reached [-].After the Battle of Changshe, Huangfusong passed by Chen Guo, learned of this situation, and reported it to him.

A county king, no matter what the reason, gathered a crowd of [-], there is no way not to report this matter.

At that time, Liu Hong still thought the name Liu Chong was familiar, and after asking, he found out that this fool was in the second year of Xiping, and he almost gave him the two prime ministers at that time, and he was punished for treason, and he pardoned him.This time, I'm afraid I was tricked by the Prime Minister again, right?

In the follow-up report, it was learned that Liu Chong was only gathering refugees and maintaining local law and order, and there was nothing arrogant about it, so he simply ignored it.

Unexpectedly, just over ten days later, I heard about another clan member named Liu Tao.After all, Liu Chong is the hereditary King Chen, but this one only has the name of a clan.But along the way, he made a lot of contributions, but let him look a little higher.

"Liu Dai in the servant, Liu Biao in the northern army, Liu Yu who is at home, Liu Yan, the governor of Youzhou... Speaking of Liu Dai's younger brother Liu Yao, he was recommended by the local government before." Liu Hong weighed it carefully.

Officials of the eunuch line have been discredited by scholars and have no place to stand up.But clansmen and aristocratic families have to be wary of framing.It's just that clan relatives are not as good as eunuchs and cannot be fully used by him.

"Hahaha... Lonely family, lonely family..." Liu Hong laughed at himself, picked up the jug and continued to pour wine for himself.

About an hour later, Zuo Feng entrusted someone to bring four words to Jian Yong in the Yingxiong Building: The matter has been completed.

that's all?Jian Yong was a little dazed. Are these things in the palace so simple and clear?The problem is that the eunuch who came out to report the letter went back after saying these four words, and he had no choice but to inquire further...

"Don't worry, although those scholars say that eunuchs are greedy and unkind, they may be right, but they also have an advantage." Next to Jian Yong, a figure said, "That is, after collecting money, they will really do it for you. Good thing."

Personality is worthless, faith must be valuable, otherwise, who would give money?

"So that's the case, thank you, Lord Wang, for reminding me." Suddenly, Jian Yong bowed to the man.

This person has just met him not long ago, he is the owner of the Hero Building, and he is also the president of the Ranger Guild. His surname is Wang and his name is Yue.It's just that Wang Yue knew so much about the situation in the palace, especially the eunuchs.

Chapter 152 First Arrival in Luoyang

With the end of the Battle of Guangzong, Lu Zhi beheaded all the captured Yellow Turbans, and built a "Jingguan" outside the city to warn the world: this is the end of rebellion.

During the period, Liu Tao suggested that some of the thieves could be selected and sent to local areas to build bridges and pave roads, or sell them to local aristocratic families as servants.It's just that this suggestion was rejected by Lu Zhi, and even reprimanded him.

"Now it's the time when people are not picking up, and each family probably doesn't have much money to buy servants. Moreover, these thieves are elite soldiers who have given them weapons. If they commit crimes, it will be very dangerous. When it spreads to Luoyang, I am afraid it will become an excuse for the eunuch to attack my father...Father That’s probably how it was considered.” Afterwards, Lu Yan explained to Liu Tao in private.

"Sure enough, reputation can't be tarnished at all." Liu Tao sighed, "Is it tired of reputation?"

"Probably...that's it." Lu Yan hesitated for a moment, and finally nodded.

Lu Zhi's character design is upright, unyielding to eunuchs, and at the same time profound in Confucian classics, benevolent and loyal.Basically, it perfectly shows the positive image of a courtier.

So he can't be snobbish and do things like sell captives; not only can't do it, but he also hates such behavior.

Suddenly, I realized how hard it was for the celebrities of later generations to maintain their personalities... Liu Tao complained in his heart.

The key point is that the character setting is not set by oneself, but set by the society, or the gentry.Everyone needs a character like this, as the leader of the gentry, so 'Lu Zhi' came into being.

If you think about it, you can say that a great Confucianist has thousands of disciples; a master of Confucian classics, this can actually be obtained by flattery, after all, the transmission of information is backward; as for uprightness and unyielding, benevolence, righteousness and loyalty, this is a matter of class position...

In other words, in fact, Lu Zhi is just a "star" packaged by the gentry, just a signboard.

In retrospect, Lu Zhi started as a Ph.D., and his official positions were almost all civil positions. He served as the governor of Lujiang County for a year at most, and it was also because he wanted to use his reputation to deal with the rebellion... In other words, in fact, Lu Zhi did not have much experience in fighting.

Forget it, forget it, I can't continue thinking about it, otherwise I feel that my impression of Lu Zhi will completely collapse.

"Forget it, when will we return to Luoyang?" Liu Tao asked casually, "And, shall we follow, or return to Youzhou?"

In theory, they were sent by Liu Yan to support the war in Jizhou. This side is over, so they should go back and report.

It's just that if you go back, you may not really be entangled with Liu Yan.When he was going to Yizhou, would he also follow him?Although it is good to develop behind closed doors, Yizhou really does not want to go.

"Oh, what about this..." Lu Yan took out a document, "Father has already communicated with Liu Yan and transferred you to his subordinates. I was just talking about it before, but with this document, we will be transferred here .”

"It's just that this kind of nonsense is allowed on the official level?" Liu Tao hesitated. After all, the fifth school of the Northern Army was a permanent captain.

"After we arrive in Luoyang, the mission is considered complete, but the credit must still be counted. The more than 4000 people under our command still belong to our private army." Lu Yan replied.

"Then let's just stay here. The supply troops don't eat military rations." Liu Tao felt that since that was the case, there was no need to take the troops to Luoyang, and it would be okay to leave them to the Zhen family to take care of them for a few months.

"What should His Majesty do when the time comes to review?" Lu Yan shook her head, "Furthermore, my father and I have also discussed this issue."

"Since you will bring it up, then this problem is solved?" Liu Tao asked a little excitedly.

"Yes, my father said that the improvement of the craftsmen's siege equipment is of decisive help in breaking the city, so we should also show our merits. At the same time, the supply soldiers and gang leaders of our department are also incorporated into the Northern Army's supply team, just temporarily. Unified acceptance of dispatch."

"In other words, we don't need to pay for the rations, right?" Liu Tao probably understood.

"It's just that before His Majesty announces the dissolution, we really don't need to solve the military ration problem." Lu Yan nodded.

In fact, neither Liu Tao nor Lu Yan knew that it was because Guangzong had been defeated ahead of time that there was a surplus of supplies in the army.

The materials themselves can be used by the army for about a month, plus some soldiers who were killed when the city was broken, the materials are completely enough for the army to use for about a month.

Anyway, after arriving in Luoyang, His Majesty finished his inspection and rewarded him for meritorious deeds, and it took about a month, so he simply made this favor.The point is, he doesn't have to pay anything for it himself.

Liu Tao was really relieved, and then ordered to actively cooperate and make preparations for the camp.After working hard for more than a day, I took a half-day rest on the second day and officially set off on the third day.

On the return journey, considering that there were no bandits, he was required to march one hundred miles a day, from Wei County to Luoyang, about [-] miles, and the whole army finally arrived at the city of Luoyang on the evening of the eighth day of the return journey.

"A city wall six meters high..." Looking at the city, Liu Tao couldn't help but sigh with emotion. He really didn't have the feeling of being tall and majestic in his impression. After all, it was made of rammed earth and lacked adhesives. Even bluestone bricks couldn't be erected. .

No way, like in some novels, glutinous rice and egg whites are used. How many glutinous rice and eggs are needed for such a large city?In an era when there is no professional farming, where can we get so many eggs? !

It is six meters high and about 20 meters wide, which is indeed much thicker than the five or six meters in ordinary county towns.

With a thickness of more than 20 meters, it is no wonder that there is a saying that "your skin is thicker than the city wall".Liu Tao complained in his heart, after all, this sentence literally refers to thickness, not firmness.

This city is located in the north of Luoshui, and the north of the water is Yang, so it is called Luoyang.It gradually became the capital city from the Xia Dynasty to the era of Liu Tao, and it has a history of nearly 2000 years.

After generations of perfection and expansion, it became the capital of the Han Empire in the Eastern Han Dynasty, but it was destroyed by Dong Zhuo.
