The portable magic tower of the Three Kingdoms

"It is said that the former disciples of the Yuan Clan are scattered all over the place, so the ones who extort money are only the former disciples of the ten servants?" Liu Tao asked.

"Partisanship?" Lu Yan seemed to understand.

"Actually, it's a matter of dividing the pancakes. A pancake is only that big. If the eunuch eats too much, the aristocratic family eats less. Naturally, we want to criticize the eunuch, and vice versa," Liu Tao explained.

After a pause, he continued: "The problem is that eunuchs have only a small social circle, while the gentry are distributed in the thirteen prefectures of the Han Dynasty. All kinds of old students, mentors, relatives and friends... If there is a fight, who will have the upper hand?"

"Public opinion?" Lu Yan seemed to realize the crux of the matter.

"That's right, the Shichang Attendants will become sinners only because scholars occupy the power of public opinion. As long as they are willing, then black can be called white, pointing stags can be called horses, and the meaning of the scriptures can be interpreted by them." Liu Tao sighed.

Hearing this, Lu Yan probably understood why his father insisted on saying how hateful Shi Changshi was when he was a child.It's not that he can't understand, but that his position must say and do that.

The key is to worry that when I said something wrong when I was young, I simply instilled it in myself.As for the actual situation, I will understand it by myself when I grow up.But even if comprehension is useless, his position determines that he has to say and do that.

"Brother, if these words spread, it's not a small problem." Lu Yan looked around, a little worried.

"Don't think of others so superficially..." Liu Tao said with a smile, "The key is not what I said, but what I did, that is, what position I am in."

In the past five years, the order has not completely collapsed, and scholars still control the absolute power of public opinion. At this time, they must not oppose it.Going to the eunuch party openly and aboveboard is definitely a dead end.

"I'm a teacher's disciple and your brother-in-law. I'm definitely on the side of the scholars." Liu Tao replied, "It's just that I'm also a member of the Han family. It's not a fault to get close to His Majesty, right? As long as I Grasp the measurement well, and it’s not a big problem.”

As Liu Hong was the emperor of Han, if he wanted to exercise the power of the emperor, the gentry would be afraid of three points, let alone have the eunuchs to help him.

Restoring the state pastoral system, Liu Yan was appointed as Yizhou pastor, and Liu Yu was appointed as Youzhou pastor. I am a Han clan member who has been included in the genealogy. If I operate properly, I will be a county guard and add a military post. Isn't it a big problem?

It is precisely because of the weak side of public opinion that more benefits can be given to the contributors...

Chapter 130 Let me think about how to fight

Liu Tao's words had a great impact on Lu Yan's three views, and he didn't bother to persuade his brother to bribe, but only reserved his personal opinion.

Liu Tao doesn't care either, it's very difficult to change an adult's mind.With this in mind, it would be better to learn from other time traveler predecessors, open a primary school, and start from a baby.

It is gratifying that although Lu Yan's concept has not been reversed, he has also begun to meditate. This is a good start.The academic atmosphere in the Han Dynasty was good, at least not so rigid.

After returning home and cleaning up, Liu Tao went to say goodbye to Lu Zhi.

"Let's leave today?" Lu Zhi was a little surprised. He said it only yesterday, and it's okay to leave in two days.

"Since there are unidentified thieves near Chaoge, my disciples will go there earlier and escort the food team to arrive safely, so I can feel at ease earlier." Liu Tao replied.

"Well, you've made up your mind." Lu Zhi nodded in relief.

Liu Tao left Lu Zhi's camp, and then came to the soldiers.At this moment, the soldiers were ready to go, Liu Tao got on his horse immediately when he saw this, shouted, and the army set off immediately.

As soon as he left the barracks, Liu Tao called Zhang Fei over and told him to go there first.

"But brother..." Zhang Fei naturally felt that something was wrong, if he left first, who would protect Liu Tao.

"Don't worry about me." Liu Tao pointed to the five hundred crossbowmen beside him, "I still have them on my side, and I have to leave ten scouts, which is almost safe."

Zhang Fei originally wanted to persuade, but Liu Tao shook his head, indicating that there was no need for him to continue persuading.Seeing this, he could only cup his hands and say, "Since brother insists on doing this, then I'll go ahead!"

Immediately, with five hundred cavalry, they quickly moved in the direction of Chaoge.In his view, since the thieves are haunting Chaoge, even if they don't know the exact number and location, they can at least give an early warning.

During the temple calculation, everyone almost felt that the Chaoge area might become a battlefield.The difference lies in the extent of the fight. This concept was proposed by Liu Tao.

To be honest, Zhang Fei finds it difficult to understand what is meant by 'to what extent'.Isn't war this thing that stops when you die?

Starting from Guangzong to Chaoge, it is about 350 miles before and after.Thanks to the lack of luggage, Liu Tao used the 'acceleration technique' for three consecutive days, so that he traveled about 120 miles a day and arrived near Chaoge in three days.

"Eh? Elder brother, you guys are so quick..." Zhang Fei was really taken aback. He just arrived in the morning. Unexpectedly, in the afternoon, Liu Tao had already led the army to join him.

"Didn't I say that?" Liu Tao smiled, "Let you go ahead."

"It turned out to be just one step..." Zhang Fei laughed at himself, "Fortunately, I have already sent people to investigate the surrounding area, and I have also asked the people of Chaoge. There are indeed unidentified thieves cruising in the nearby mountains and forests."

"That's good..." Liu Tao nodded, "Do you know the approximate direction and distance of the forest?"

"It's about twenty miles to the west..." Zhang Fei pointed to the west, already knowing what Liu Tao was going to do.

What is the most important thing on the battlefield, in the final analysis, is the intelligence of the enemy and the enemy.As long as you know the enemy's intelligence and at the same time protect your own intelligence, you can kill the enemy even if the combat power is disparate.

'There are thieves cruising near Chaoge', if it refers to relying on such general information for security, then it is obviously very passive.What Liu Tao is doing now is to include the range of ten miles around the mountainous area into the visible range.

"The thieves are quite bold..." Liu Tao opened his eyes 3 minutes later, raised the corners of his mouth slightly, and said slowly, "Thousands of people are stationed in the mountains and forests. Do you really treat others as blind and not notice them?"

"Thousands of people?" Zhang Fei frowned when he heard this. The local people saw unidentified people cruising, so there were only a few, but Liu Tao directly said that there were several thousand.However, he also predicted this possibility before setting out.

"There are more than [-] people, and we still need to count them." Liu Tao replied, "Most of them are thieves with crude equipment, and there are hundreds of teenagers. The key is that they all have a certain foundation in martial arts. According to the letter sent by Zhao Yun, These teenagers should all come from Changshan Zhending."

Before there was an official order, these teenagers were working hard to practice martial arts.In the land of Yanzhao, Wufeng is really different.

To be honest, seeing this scene, he felt a little bit like wanting to bring these hundreds of youngsters under his command.

"Young man..." Zhang Fei felt a little emotional. In order to inherit the family business, he made the crown ceremony in advance. After all, he is only young this year. "It's just that I don't understand how many refugees there are. juvenile?"

"It's normal, isn't it?" Liu Tao didn't find it strange, "My fellow countryman has a certain foundation in martial arts, and he is still a teenager. After two years of training, he can definitely be his confidant."

If you can't believe something like the township party, then no one in this world can believe it.

Why did Lu Zhi accept Liu Bei and Liu Tao in the first place? After all, didn't he occupy the title of "Xiangdang"?

Even if their personalities are not very good, Lu Zhi has to accept them unless he has a good reason.If he doesn't even take care of the township party, then this person's character is really doubtful.

'Dear me, filial piety is so difficult.Love and hate me, Xiao Fangxian. 'There is this sentence in the "Disciple Rules". Maybe there are some things in this book that are out of date, but in this era, they are impeccable.

From another perspective, this book is not for children.He does not want to turn children into polite walking corpses, but to let children who are a little bit more sensible understand what the image of a "filial son" is, what should be done, and what level is considered qualified.

To draw an analogy, if in history, Liu Tao and Liu Bei's personalities were out of character, even rebellious.Lu Zhi can be a teacher, and if he can teach the two of them well, it will naturally set off his noble character.

"Also..." Zhang Fei nodded after hearing Liu Tao's words.Really, he and Lu Yan are both Liu Tao's township party.

It was so easy for the two of them to join the gang, so easy to become brothers with different surnames, and even Jian Yong joined Liu Tao's family, and the factors of the township party were also involved.

Hundreds of teenagers, trained for two years, can become the main confidant of Chu Yan's command.Relying on these confidants, even if the team expands to [-], he can still easily control the team.

"It's just that it's a pity." Liu Tao smiled, "The moment he became our enemy, his thoughts have already become a joke."

"Speaking of which..." Zhang Fei also realized this, "Since we already know our location, why don't we take the initiative to attack?"

"It's not urgent." Liu Tao shook his head, "The soldiers need to rest, and I also need to think about how to fight!"

Chapter 131 It's too wasteful not to attack at night

It was not until the next day that Liu Tao made a decision.Then... the army actually set off directly, leaving Chaoge County for about ten miles, and camped secretly near the official road leading to Chaoge.
