Chapter 317: Big people gather

"I suspect Chu Zimou deliberately invited me to defraud my men of money."

The prince Yan, who was far away in Beiping County, Youbei Ping, received Chu Tian’s invitation and had to come. This time, the two hundred excellent war horses were given away for nothing.

Even the transmission fee for the warhorse has to be paid by Prince Yan!

This is the first time Prince Yan has come to the Summer City of Langya.

Generally speaking, a lord seldom goes to the cities of other lords in person, because they may be detained by the other lord.

Prince Yan was not worried that Chu Tian would detain him, and brought Fan Zhongyan to Xiacheng.

The prosperity of Xiacheng is far beyond the imagination of Prince Yan.

The current Xiacheng has a population of more than 500,000. It has a large number of historical talents, as well as special buildings such as Han Yuefu, Confucian Temple, and Star Observatory. It has a high degree of development. The Beihai Kingdom, Taishan County, and Donghai Kingdom bordering Langya Kingdom are all within the sphere of influence of Xuzhou Animal Husbandry, so Langya Kingdom is very safe.

Xuzhou animal husbandry suppressed the surrounding princes, suppressed the locust plague, and followed by some people, the development momentum is very good, and the popular support is also very high.

"Compared to Xuzhou, our Youbeiping County looks a bit desolate."

Prince Yan brought two hundred white horses, which caused quite a stir in Xiacheng.

Fan Zhongyan wore a scholar's blue shirt and followed his lord. This time, the prince Yan was willing to make a heavy investment, but also to leave a way for himself. If the north can't go down, Prince Yan can still seek refuge in Chutian.

"Prince Yan, I heard that you were beaten all over the ground looking for teeth in Guzhu City, western Liaoning. It seems that you didn't die in battle."

A hearty laughter came, and Huo An, the protector of the Western Regions, appeared. He brought only nine war horses.

Huo An and general Chen Tang arrive.

Prince Yan is neither salty nor indifferent: "It's you, who developed well in the Western Regions. Although there are not many princes in the pass paying attention to your development, I have always heard about it. You have almost unified the territory directly controlled by the Western Regions and are attacking. Thirty-six countries in the Western Regions."

Huo An was seen through careful thinking, so he generously admitted: "I thought that no one would pay attention to the desolate land of the Western Regions. If you want to hide, it seems that you have discovered it. However, the center of my power is not inside the pass, but outside the pass. Recently I was at war with Dawan. These nine war horses were Dawan horses looted from Dawan."

"Da Wanma?"

Prince Yan heard that it was a precious Dawan horse, so he couldn't help looking sideways.

Because of its geographical location, Central Asia is rich in excellent war horses. Dawan horses are among the best. Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty coveted Dawan horses.

Huo An actually brought Da Wanma over, which is enough to see that he attaches great importance to this matter.

Prince Yan and Huo An came to Xiacheng, and Chu Tian met them in the lord's mansion. The two were the lords that Chutian met during the first epic battle, and there is still a lot of territory. Huo An even dominates the Western Regions.

Prince Yan had developed well, but unfortunately he was facing a strong enemy.

"This is Fan Xiwen?"

Chutian noticed Fan Zhongyan, a civil servant brought by Prince Yan. Although Fan Zhongyan was a civil servant, he led soldiers to promote Di Qing, which is considered both civil and military.

But Fan Zhongyan would be too difficult to deal with the cavalry group in Mingguan.

"Liaoxi County has all been controlled by Mingguan. He owns both Liaoxi and Liaodong, and the actual population controlled by him is already quite large. I will not get involved in the battle of Mobei. Maybe, take advantage of him to participate in the battle of Mobei. In the meantime, I can make a comeback."

Prince Yan said his plan. His intention is obvious, and Mingguan will be aware of it.

"I have recently been targeted by the Dawan, Wusun, Dayue, and Guishuang Empires, and have broken out small-scale battles with them. I need to accumulate several years of strength in the oasis of the basin edge and part of the river area. , At the same time suppress the small countries among the 36 countries, only then can they be able to conquer the west."

Huo An has become the uncrowned king of the Western Regions.

Most of the princes focused their attention on the Guan, and ignored the Western Regions Protectorate. As a result, Huo An was dominated by Huo An in the Western Regions.

Huo An said: "I heard that you have been suppressing Cao Cao, are you planning to eliminate Cao Cao?"

Chutian said calmly: "I just want to farm in Xuzhou, but Cao Cao hinders me from farming, so I can only eliminate him."

Prince Yan and Huo An were silent for a while. This excuse for destroying Cao Cao was really true.

The Lord’s Mansion is handling the marriage of the Lord.

The core figures of the Xuzhou forces can also take this opportunity to gather in the Lord’s Mansion.

The Taishan army of Li Guang and Du Ruhui went to attack Jinan, Qingzhou governor sent generals to defend the Dongping Tomb. Li Guang lacked good soldiers and could not attack for a long time. Chu Tian ordered the withdrawal of troops, and Li Guang army returned to Taishan County to hold on.

The big figures from various counties came to Xiacheng one after another.

They don’t have to worry about attacks on each county, as long as they receive the news, they can use the teleportation array to return to each county soon.

This is also the first time that the civil servants and generals of the Chutian forces have gathered.

The Fubo Army of Zheng Zhilong and Xu Sheng has captured the administration of Donglai County and returned to Xiacheng from the administration of Donglai County.

Li Guang and Du Ruhui returned to Taishan County, and then back to Xiacheng from Taishan County.

Yang Ye returned from Xiaopei.

Zhou Yafu, Xu Rong, and Hua Xiong who were opposing Cao had returned from Yanzhou. Since Zhou Yafu went to fight in Yanzhou, he has not seen Chutian.

Chen Deng, Chen Qingzhi, Mi Fang, Wu Anguo went from Guangling to Xiacheng.

For a time, Xiacheng is full of talents and historical figures are like clouds!

Even though Chu Tian only summoned the core figures, the outside of the lord’s mansion was still crowded, and Chu Tian had to send soldiers from the fifth Northern Army Academy to maintain order.

The coming generals are Le Yi, Zhou Yafu, Li Guang, Xue Rengui, Zhao Yun, Xu Rong, Hua Xiong, Chen Qingzhi, Mi Fang, Wu Anguo, Zhou Cang, Yang Ye, Zheng Zhilong, Xu Sheng, Zang Ba, Sun Guan, Yin Li...

There may be more civil servants coming, Fang Xuanling, Du Ruhui, Li Li, Zhang Zhao, Zhang Hong, Lu Su, Wang Lang, Chen Deng, Chen Gui, Zhao Yu, and some civil servants who may not even be named by Chutian... In addition to civil servants and generals, there are also some special characters, Lu Zhi, Zheng Xuan, Cai Yong, Kong Rong, Du Fu, Cai Wenji, Langya Zhuge's family, swordsmith Mo Xie, and genius doctor Hua Tuo.

There are dozens or hundreds of historical figures gathered in Xiacheng alone, and the lineup is unimaginable. Chutian's talents are enough to support the establishment of a kingdom.

These are the current core figures. Elder Li, bronze heroes Zhao Qi, Liu Sandao, and Sun Liuwan from Xia Village also received invitations.

Their abilities are no longer sufficient for higher positions, but as the first batch of veterans, they have a pretty good life.

There are also a group of strangers who have contributed to Chutian forces, such as Xueyue. They formed Chutian's secret intelligence network among strangers.

"You and Li Xiuning will live here in the future."

Hua Mulan handed her mansion near the Lord's Mansion to Li Xiuning and Joan of Arc. She plans to move to the Lord's Mansion.

"you guys……"

Saint Joan of Arc now finally understands why Hua Mulan often sneaks to the Lord's Mansion.

But this does not seem to have much to do with her.

As the second Captain Yingyang, she is also eligible to participate in this banquet, she is only responsible for eating.

Li Xiuning is responsible for guarding Joan of Arc and at the same time protecting the safety of summer cool, so it is not surprising to live next to the lord’s mansion.

The servants of the lord’s mansion entered and exited, busy preparing. This time the most important group of civil servants and generals of the Chutian forces will be hosted. For the servants, no one can afford to offend.

After seeing the two lords, Prince Yan and Huo An, Chutian separately summoned the generals and asked about the war in various places to confirm their loyalty.

Among them, the general Xu Rong was the general who Xia Liang surrendered for him. Chu Tian had never seen Xu Rong since the start of the national war. This time Xu Rong was recalled, and he was able to check Xu Rong's attributes.

[Name]: Xu Rong

[Talent]: Diamond Commander (Cavalry Department)

[Level]: 80

[Commander]: 85  [Strength]: 76  [Intelligence]: 71  [Politics]: 43  [Charm]: 50

[Phaseality]: Calm

[Feature 1]: Strength superiority (A-level feature, when the commander has more troops than the enemy, your own attack power +10%, and the enemy morale drop speed +10%)

[Feature 2]: Ambush advantage (A-level feature, when the ambush is successful, own army's attack power +13%, enemy morale decline rate +13%)

【Special arms】: None

Xu Rong’s abilities are not bad. When Xu Rong succeeds in ambushing his military advantage, his cavalry attack power can be up to +23%, and the morale of the enemy can also be quickly reduced.

If Xu Rong had the superiority in military strength and the elite cavalry, it would not seem impossible to defeat the less powerful Sun Jian and the large number of recruits Cao Cao.

Xu Rong is not Dong Zhuo’s confidant of the Western Liang Army, so there is no special unit. This also means that Xu Rong can be free from the restriction of special arms. He belongs to the golden cavalry commander, where he needs to go.

is not the confidant of the Xiliang Legion, it is not bad that you can persist for a while before surrendering.

"Your'Western Liang Army Corps' has only 10,000 light cavalry and 1,000 Western Liang cavalry. It is nameless, but the army will gradually increase in the future."

When Chutian learned that Xu Rong had a superior military strength, the legion could exert greater combat effectiveness and decided to expand the organization of the Xiliang legion in the future.

Originally, the Xuzhou professional soldiers had an organization of 282,000. Later, the Taishan Defensive Corps (40,000), the Beihai Defensive Corps (30,000), and the expected Donglai Defensive Corps (5,000) were formed. The establishment of Chu Tian’s troops expanded. To 357,000 people.

The number of    legions is directly linked to the population of the territory. At present, the military strength of the Chutian forces is still at a normal level. Eight counties are equivalent to one county raising 40,000 to 50,000 professional soldiers, which is more than enough.

In addition to 357,000 people, Chu Tian may have to recruit white-robed soldiers for Chen Qingzhi, recruit Bianzhou wolf cavalry for Yang Ye, and expand the strength of Xu Rong's Xiliang army. The final strength may reach 400,000.

After Xu Rong retired, Zhuge Jin brought Zhuge Liang to visit.

Zhuge Jin can rise in the wind and water of the Dongwu forces, indicating that Zhuge Jin is a wise man, he has already seen that Chutian intends to cultivate Zhuge Liang. For the future of Zhuge's family, he deliberately pulled into the relationship between his younger brother Zhuge Liang and Zhou Mu.

"Fang Xuanling and Du Ruhui often follow me out on the expeditions. I don't know what you learned from Lu Zhi?"

Chutian arranged Fang Xuanling and Du Ruhui to be Zhuge Liang's teachers, but Fang Xuanling and Du Ruhui often served as army commanders, and currently the person who taught Zhuge Liang the most was Lu Zhi.

Zhuge Liang replied: "Mr. taught me how to behave."

"If Xia Pixiang Li Min has time, you can also ask him to be your teacher. If you have any doubts, you can find him."

It is difficult for top counselors to calculate each other. Chu Tian prefers to train Zhuge Liang to become Minister of the Interior, and Li Li is a qualified teacher of the country.

Zhuge Jin saw that Chu Tian introduced the next Pixiang to Zhuge Liang and became another teacher of Zhuge Liang. She was already sure that Xuzhou Mu valued Zhuge Liang, so she thanked him.

"If you are an official in the next two years, you can come directly to the Lord's Mansion and say hello to me."

Chutian wanted to wipe out Zhuge's house, and would not let Zhuge Jin leave.

"The younger generations are sincere and fearful, and they will surely be the ground!"

Zhuge Jin saw that Chu Tian also attached great importance to him, so he decided to start playing for Xuzhou Mu in two years.

Historically, the Langya Zhuge family had people in Wei, Shu and Wu who served as high-ranking officials and diversified their investment. Now Chutian wants to consolidate them into one power, so that the Zhuge family will only follow him, and all will be prosperous, and everything will be lost.

More and more people gathered in the Lord’s Mansion. Xia Liang and Hua Mulan in the backyard were dressed up with the assistance of a maid. Xia Liang knew Chu Tian’s preferences, so she redesigned and tailored Feng Guanxia.

She didn't know that the phoenix crown xiamen she designed would become popular in Xuzhou in the future, becoming another specialty of Xuzhou silk shops besides underwear.

For Xia Liang and Hua Mulan, this time it was just a cutscene, because they had long been mixed with Chu Tian, ​​and Xia Liang even had children.

Li Xiuning just closed one eye to this, unless she is also caught in it, it has nothing to do with herXuzhou Muchuzimou only invited more than a hundred people this time, the scale can be said. It was small, but it still spread like wildfire, causing many gossips from the princes.

The princes are not concerned about who Xuzhou Mu marries, but about how many big people attend!

Most of the big figures who attended Xuzhou Animal Husbandry have origins, and their quality is so high that there is no other in the entire Eastern Han Dynasty!

Le Yi, Zhou Yafu, Chen Qingzhi, Xue Rengui, Zhao Yun, Li Guang, Fang Xuanling, Du Ruhui, Li Li, Jiangdong Erzhang...

Take any one out, it is enough to be enviable.

The gossip about Chu Zimou in Xuzhou was not only spread in the Eastern Han Dynasty, but also spread abroad.

Facts have proved that no matter which civilization, they are interested in gossip, which is the common interest of all mankind.

"Joan of Arc attended the wedding of Xuzhou Mu's."

"Don't mention that fallen woman, she is a shame to our France."

The lord of France heard that someone saw Joan of Arc at Chu Zimou's banquet, and suddenly became angry.

The Grand Duchy of Moscow, Ekaterina led a hundred thousand cavalry to attack Petrozavosk, almost razed the city to the ground, and executed another Lord of Moscow who resisted her.

"Chu Zimou of the Eastern Han Dynasty is going to get married? What does this have to do with me, I won't care, I won't care...Next time you see him, you must catch him alive and then cut him off."

Ekaterina gritted her teeth.
