Crowned the New Han Dynasty

Chapter 62: Addicted to the Art of War and Can’t Extricate Himself
It is certainly terrifying for the Hu to enter the Central Plains, but if the Central Plains had not turned into a sieve, foreigners would not be able to easily come in, let alone stand firm.

"Listening to Liu Gang's description, neither the Li family of Shu nor Liu Yuan of the Huns in the north caused the original destructiveness. According to the original history, Wang Mi took refuge in Liu Yuan after being frustrated. The situation is different now, but It’s a hidden danger after all…”

After thinking about it, Chen Zhi suddenly came to his senses.

"Today is no better than in the past. Even if I know the dangers of Wang Mi, I still talk lightly. I am an ordinary child of a noble family, but he has excellent calligraphy. If I only talk about his calligraphy experience, he may be taken seriously by others. If I talk about national affairs and military opinions, No one will buy it at all, it must..."

Suddenly, a thought popped into his mind, causing him to sigh secretly.

"Forget it, if the world is in chaos again, where can I go to relax? It seems that I have to improve my reputation as soon as possible. When I have enough reputation, my words will have some effect."

After confirming his idea, Chen Zhi felt that the rhythm was not right. Didn't he agree to be reborn as a farmer?
But after all, there was still something he couldn't let go of, and he had to raise his goal a little higher.

"You can't ignore it, and you can't get involved too deeply. The reputation of the state and county is enough. It's enough to make friends with ordinary high-ranking gentry children, exert some influence, cooperate with some means, accumulate fame, and you can advance or retreat in case of unexpected events. After all, The current situation is better than the original history.”

After thinking about it, Chen Zhi chatted with Liu Gang for a few more words. Now that he had revealed his military skills, he no longer hid it.

Chen Zhi also saw that this member of the Liu family had extraordinary ambitions and was determined to make a difference in the military field, so he naturally appreciated him - in terms of years of experience, Chen Zhi was much older than Liu Gang, so this appreciation was based on the elders giving guidance to the younger ones. Meaning.

With the change in Liu Gang's attitude of asking for advice, the surface of the copper coin in Chen Zhi's heart had more and more halos, gradually thickening and no longer a thin layer.

This made Chen Zhi very concerned, and he roughly figured out the reason for the increase in halo.

"I taught Liu Gang some military skills, which caused a halo to gather on the surface of the copper coins. If it were other aspects of knowledge, would it also be effective? Can only Liu Gang or a specific person cause changes in the copper coins? In addition, does this halo have any effect? What is the function? These are not yet understood..."

Chen Zhi was thinking, but Liu Gang across from him looked excited and full of joy, and his eyes were glowing when he looked at Chen Zhi.

At the beginning, Liu Gang was not used to Chen Zhi's tone, but with just a few words, he solved a lot of his doubts. After this conversation, he benefited a lot, and he was naturally very happy. .

When the sun went down and evening came to an end, Liu Gang realized that it was getting late, so he had to say goodbye.

"I gained a lot from my talk with Brother Shi today. Brother Shi has a great talent. I hope he can teach me in the future." When leaving, Liu Gang bowed respectfully to Chen Zhi and then reluctantly left. The little book boy looked at He and the concierge were speechless for a while.

How come this famous talent in Pengcheng was very dashing when he arrived, but when he left, he was as respectful as a student when facing the seventh young master?What did the two of them do in the library this afternoon?
Chen Zhi sent Liu Gang off and still came back, exploring the changes in the copper coins in his heart and deducing the causes and effects.

"When the gambling den takes action, it's time to draw lots. Since the copper coins and the lottery tube are both in my heart, we will see the changes in the copper coins when the time comes. For now, let's study calmly."

Chen Zhi felt relieved, but Liu Gang was extremely excited. On the way home, he savored what Chen Zhi said. The more he thought about it, the more he savored it, the more he felt that there were profound truths hidden in the simple words that needed to be understood. , scrutiny.

He gradually became obsessed with thinking this way. He didn't come back to his senses until he returned to the Liu Mansion. Then he rushed straight to the house impatiently, picked up a stack of military experience, and read it carefully.

Some of these experiences were recorded out of his imagination, imagining how he would deal with and resist various enemy forces if he, as a military advisor, led troops in a war.

In addition, I just recalled the contents of the military books that I had read, and added some of my own opinions to record them. But most of them were questions, and I also wrote down those things that I couldn't figure out.

Looking at it again now, many of the problems were solved. I felt so comfortable and couldn't calm down at all, so I took a few pieces of paper and left the house, strolling in the yard, reading and laughing, completely immersed in the things. I forgot both.

His appearance was seen by Liu Miao.

After returning from Liu Gang, Liu Miao noticed that something was not right about his younger brother. He first entered the door in a daze, and then went straight to the house. Now he was reading a few pieces of paper, giggling while reading.

"This situation is not right. Did something good happen to my brother?"

Liu Miao was wondering, but he didn't know that behind him, two maids also saw Liu Gang's appearance. They were whispering and giving vague instructions, chuckling from time to time, as if they had seen a lot and understood everything.However, the maid did not dare to go over to ask and confirm her thoughts. Liu Miao, the elder brother, had no scruples and walked over when he saw this. When he was about to ask, he saw a man coming out of the inner courtyard. He had a wide face and big ears, with a haircut He had a mustache, his brows were furrowed, and his expression was solemn.

Upon seeing this person, Liu Miao and Liu Gang put down what they were doing and started greeting him.

"Fourth uncle."

"Oh, it's you."

When this man saw the Liu brothers, his brows relaxed a little and he smiled.

This person's name is Liu Yang, the fourth son of Liu Taigong, the uncle of Liu Miao and Liu Gang, and the post of county captain of Pengcheng County. Since the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, the family has grown, and the Three Mutual Laws have existed in name only, unable to restrain the local area. There are gradually more and more people from wealthy families and local people serving as officials and holding power.

"How are you doing with your homework recently?" Looking at his two outstanding nephews, Liu Yang suppressed his worries and asked, "The screening is coming soon, and I have been busy sending messages to several venerables in the past two days to invite them to come out. Be an examiner.”

"Oh? But how many celebrities in Pengcheng?" Liu Miao's eyes lit up and she couldn't help but ask.

Pengcheng is the head of Pengcheng County, and it was also the seat of Xuzhou in the past. It has many families and clans, as well as its own celebrities. In the past three years, there have been frequent disasters and relocations due to governance, which has affected it. However, the emaciated camel is better than Martha still has her own background.

Liu Yang stroked his beard and said: "It's inconvenient to reveal too much to you, but you should know that the bookworm from Qingzhou is also here. According to the above, he will probably be invited."

"Qingzhou bookworm Wang Kui? That's a well-educated man!" The Liu brothers were quite surprised. The more famous the examiner is, the better it will be for those of them who participate. Once passed, they can spread their reputation and become a brand. The foundation of the situation will help Zhongzhengguan make a positive judgment.

Peng Lin had this consideration when he interacted with girls from the Wang family before.

As for whether it can pass the screening?
If not even the Liu brothers can pass, then there are probably not many people from Pengcheng County who can pass.

Liu Yang added: "It's all uncertain. I heard that the bookworm came with him, and there was a noble son from Qingzhou. He was young and had an extraordinary background. The bookworm respected him very much. The county government is Check out this person's background, and you should pay more attention, I have seen a young nobleman in the past few days, don't have conflicts, try to make friends."

"No matter how rich you are, can you compare to the one who arrived in Liu County?" Liu Miao didn't take it seriously. It was no longer a secret that Guijing Academy was waiting for news about the noble man. As the man arrived in Liu County, his The identity becomes clear——

A direct descendant of Zhuge Liang, he traveled all over the world to study and support his career.

The Zhuge family is a high-ranking family. In some aspects, their political power is even greater than that of the royal family.

"In short, you can never make a big mistake by being careful." Liu Yang also agreed with Liu Miao's statement.

Liu Gang asked: "My fourth uncle frowned just now. Is it because he was worried?"

"Oh, I was just about to tell you about this," Liu Yang seemed to suddenly think of something, "There is another reason why you should act more restrained and cautious recently. It is that the county has not been very peaceful recently, and there are thieves who are ready to take action. Are you okay? You have to be more careful, don’t push forward when things happen, and know how to protect yourself wisely.”

Liu Miao nodded, but Liu Gang asked: "My fourth uncle is worried about how to deal with these thieves?"

"Exactly, I will mobilize manpower in the next two days." Liu Yang nodded.

Liu Gang hesitated for a moment, then said: "The fourth uncle must investigate clearly first. You cannot lead people rashly. You must first collect intelligence to make sure that the bandits can be quelled, and then mobilize the people. Otherwise, fourth uncle, you will be in danger yourself, which is really embarrassing." Worry."
