The portable magic tower of the Three Kingdoms

Getting stronger now is just to make it easier to win the world in the future.But if you have already won the world, then whether you become stronger or not is not that important.After all, it is possible to conquer the world immediately, but there is no saying that the world can be ruled immediately.

At that time, if you really have nothing to do, staying in the palace and increasing the production of the farmland around the capital is probably the last place where magic will come into play.

"My lord is wise!" Liu Tao explained that, and Guo Jia felt a little more at ease... It seems that he is not some evil spirit.

The test has come to an end, and 23 Xianbei prisoners have been sacrificed, which is somewhat unbearable.But compared to not being sure of the effect and causing casualties to our own soldiers, it can only be regarded as a "necessary sacrifice".

This is a bit similar to the 'trolley problem'. Liu Tao doesn't care much about philosophy, he just makes choices from his own standpoint.

As soon as he returned to the yamen, a personal guard came to report that a messenger had come to ask for an interview, and he claimed to be sent by an old friend from Taihang Mountain.Liu Tao understood immediately when he heard the words, and then entered the hall, where a man who looked like a gangster was already waiting here.

Seeing them coming in, the man got up and saluted, and introduced himself: "Taihang Zhang Leigong, meet the prefect!"

Lei Gong was not his original destiny, he just fell into the grass and became a bandit. He was worried that it would affect his tribe, so he took the bandit name.Just say Chu Yan, the bandit name is 'Feiyan'.The bandit in front of me is called 'Lei Gong' because his voice is loud enough!

This roar was really deafening, and I don't know whose voice is louder, Zhang Fei or him.

"He sent you here?" Liu Tao stepped forward and asked, although "the subordinate's subordinate is not my subordinate".But since Zhang Yan is his general, when he sees Lei Gong, he will naturally have the prestige of a superior.

The main reason is that this group of thugs are used to being strong, and if they give him a good face, they might think you are easy to bully.

"The general ordered Zhang to send a gift to the prefect. And told him that this is the first batch, and there will be more in the future." Lei Gong picked up a gift list and handed it to Liu Tao.

This is obviously written with paper as a carrier, and written with pen and ink. I don't know if Zhang Yan wrote it himself, ordinarily it should be.

Liu Tao didn't pick it up, but Guo Jia stepped forward to pick it up and handed it to him.At this time, he opened the gift list and glanced at it for a while.You can't look at it for too long, it's a kind of scrutiny, it's too rude.

However, with his memory, he can almost see everything at a glance.

"[-] refugees, what a great deal Feiyan has done." Liu Tao said with emotion, saying that there was a shortage of people, so he sent [-] directly.Not only the population, but also all kinds of materials. With Zhang Yan's family background, it can indeed be regarded as a "generous gift".

Chapter 287 A gift from Zhang Yan

5 people. Before he took office, Yunzhong County's apparent population was not even 2, but [-].

"Since the establishment of the present Han Dynasty, there have been many hermits in the Taihang Mountains. After more than 200 years, especially after the Taiping Rebellion, many people escaped to the Taihang Mountains in Bingzhou, Sizhou, Jizhou and Youzhou. In." Lei Gong replied.

After a pause, he continued: "The specific number of generals has not been calculated, but conservatively there should be more than a million people."

"Since you call him a general, could it be that he has already succeeded?" Liu Tao was more concerned about other places. There are many people in Taihang Mountain, so he still has a little impression.

After all, Zhang Yan used the Taihang Mountains as his base and fought against the imperial court and Yuan Shao for almost 20 years.From the beginning of the army in 185 and the separatist rule of the Taihang Mountains, it was not until 204 that Cao Cao named him General Pingbei that it came to an end.

"Yes, according to the prefect's advice, after unifying most of the Taihang Mountain forces, I will submit a letter to the imperial court to surrender." Lei Gong nodded, "The imperial court has appointed the leader as General Pingnan Zhonglang to lead the affairs of the Taihang Mountains and have the power to be filial and honest. "

If there is really Xiaolian, he probably wouldn't raise it, right?In fact, Liu Hong will also plan carefully, ask Zhang Yan to help him restrain the thieves in Taihang Mountain, and then send talents to the court from time to time.

From a certain point of view, Liu Hong is indeed short of people, even Xiaolian recommended by the thief can be used.

Pingnan Zhonglang General, miscellaneous Zhonglang General, is probably not as powerful as the permanent school lieutenant.As for the key salary, it is estimated that the imperial court will definitely not pay it. Of course, it is impossible for Zhang Yan to hand over the taxes of Taihang Mountain to the imperial court.

"These 5 people and materials are not just for thanking me?" Liu Tao asked.Originally Zhang Yan was willing to be loyal, but now that his identity has changed, it is hard to say whether he can still stick to his heart.

"That's not the case, this is just the first batch... In the future, we will send them over one after another according to the situation in Yunzhong County. Of course, if the prefect feels that the population here is insufficient, he can also offer it." Lei Gong quickly explained.

I'm afraid it's because Zhang Yan can't support so many people, or is he planning to make Yunzhong County a second base?Even though he felt that his thinking might be wrong, Liu Tao still couldn't help complaining in his heart...

"He should have something else, let you bring it to me?" Liu Tao couldn't help asking.

"Indeed...the general has something else that I want me to bring over." Lei Gong heard that, but he wanted to go, "The general said that he will fully support the prefect. But he has an order, and he will not hesitate to die!"

It seems that I am worried about my misunderstanding, so I express my position here.It's hard to say sincerity, but Liu Tao is still willing to believe in Zhang Yan's loyalty.At that time, Zhang Yan called herself the Lord in front of everyone!

"Speaking of which, have the things sent over before arrived at his place?" Liu Tao couldn't help asking.

"It was delivered a month ago. The general hid it carefully like a treasure, so we couldn't see it even if we wanted to. In addition, we are already in the Taihang Mountains, looking for a few suitable places, and plan to start papermaking." Lei Gong replied quickly.

Calculating the time, Zhang Yan should have received the gift from her side, and then returned the gift.If it really counts, perhaps until the gift was given, the two parties still had some doubts.

What did Liu Tao send?Of course, almost all of the books that have been proofread and published here have been sent to him.Then there is papermaking, and I sent him a copy directly.

Perhaps Zhang Yan, who received these, formally recognized Liu Tao's status as the lord, and then began to return the gift and formally declare his allegiance.

The cause and effect are probably understood, and Liu Tao feels a little more at ease.With Zhang Yan as the second player, his chess moves have increased a lot in an instant.

Arranging for Lei Gong to rest for a while, he looked at Guo Jia, and the puzzled expressions of Xun Yu and others who followed up.He coughed lightly, waved away the outsiders, and then told them what happened.

"My lord is betting against Zhang Yan?" Xun Yu couldn't believe it. If Zhang Yan remembered correctly, she should have been called Chu Yan four months ago, and rebelled with Zhang Niujiao. Unexpectedly, she had known Liu Tao earlier.

"Moreover, he won the favor of the Taihang Mountain giant bandit without paying any price." Guo Jia really admired Liu Tao. This empty-handed white wolf's method is really brilliant.

"Of course there is a price!" Liu Tao replied, "If Zhang Yan deliberately leaked my original remarks, even if His Majesty may not believe it, he will still have doubts about me. For the emperor, as long as he doubts, sometimes he doesn't even need evidence. .”

Liu Tao took the risk of losing his reputation or even being killed to bet against him, the price is clearly higher than Zhang Yan, isn't it?In itself, even if Zhang Yan is not recruited, it will have no effect on his future career.

The recruiting of Zhang Yan itself must not be known by others, otherwise, it will be remembered by those who are interested.

"However, for my brother, this bet has an advantage from the very beginning." Lu Yan sighed, after all, not everyone can see the future, the key is that the future seen has really appeared.

Received news early on that Zhang Niujiao was indeed shot by an arrow in Yingtao County. Chu Yan took over Zhang Niujiao's tribe, then changed his name to Zhang Yan, and returned to the Taihang Mountains with a group of people.

He was going to Zhongshan County, which was Zhang Yan's hometown and the place he was most familiar with.The group of people retreated into the Taihang Mountain without any risk, so that Lu Zhi had no choice but to chase after him.

Most of the [-] refugees are hermits in the Taihang Mountains and have no household registration in Dahan. Of course, most of them have never left the Taihang Mountains even in their entire lives.Generally speaking, it is the paradise described in Tao Yuanming's "Peach Blossom Spring".

This time leaving Taihang Mountain, Zhang Yan seemed to have been mobilizing for a long time, and even forcibly moved some out. The 5 people are mainly young and strong, and many are even children.Children need a better environment to grow up than adults.

It can also be seen from this that Zhang Yan's vision is indeed good.Otherwise, he would not have been able to achieve such a great achievement.

"What are the other supplies?" Taking advantage of Lei Gong's departure, Liu Tao began to check the gift list.It's okay not to look at the result, but I was a little excited when I saw it.

The first is food, which is enough food for 5 people for half a year. Zhang Yan is also worried that Liu Tao’s food is not enough, so he supports the expenses for half a year; the second is gold, silver and jewelry, which are obviously seized. These can only be found by Zhen and Zhang. And Su's help.

Weapons and armor can't be counted on, but a large amount of wood has been sent. It is estimated that they are also considering building houses for these people.

Finally, there are various medicinal materials and furs, which can be said to be special products of Taihang Mountains.It was rare that five or six medical craftsmen were sent here, not only good at collecting herbs, but also skilled in using medicine, and also skilled in treating wounds.

Surgeons are not counted, but they are also very valuable resources in this era.Thinking about it, even under Zhang Yan's command, there should not be many medical craftsmen.

"It's only August, so it can't be delivered in spring?" Liu Tao scolded with a smile. With 5 people, resettlement has become a problem.

Chapter 288 The Trouble Sent by Liu Hong

5 people, no matter what, Yunzhong County may not be able to fully digest it.In other words, it is obviously unreasonable to say that it is completely digested by Yunzhong County.

Twenty thousand of them were sent to Jiling County and Shaling County respectively, and another 5000 people were sent to Beiyu and Dingxiang Counties each, and the last [-] were left in Yunzhong County.Even if you want to take care of it, of course you should give priority to taking care of your actual control area.

For other counties that belong to themselves on the bright side, but actually listen to the tune and not listen to the announcement, they still need to be resolved slowly.Or, he has enough bureaucrats to directly exchange blood for several counties.
