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

Prince Yan, who was far away in Youbeiping County, received an invitation from Chutian and had to come. In this case, the two hundred excellent war horses were given away for nothing.

Even the transmission fee of the war horse, Prince Yan has to pay by himself!

This was the first time Prince Yan came to Xiacheng of Langya Kingdom.

Generally speaking, a lord rarely goes to another lord's city in person, because he 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, with a population of more than 500,000, has a large number of historical and factual talents, as well as special buildings such as Han Yuefu, Confucian Temple, and Star Observatory, and has a high degree of development. The Beihai Kingdom, Taishan County, and Donghai Kingdom that bordered the Langya Kingdom were all within the sphere of influence of Xuzhou Mu, so the Langya Kingdom was very safe.

Xuzhou animal husbandry suppressed the surrounding princes, suppressed the locust plague, and followed up with people. The development momentum was excellent, and the people's hearts were 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, dressed in a scholar's blue shirt, followed his lord. This time, Prince Yan was willing to pay a heavy price, but also to leave a way out for himself. If the North could not get along, Prince Yan could still come to Chutian for refuge.

"Prince Yan, I heard that this guy was beaten up by Mingguan in Liaozhu City in western Liaoning. Today, it seems that you don't die in battle."

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

Huo An and military general Chen Tang arrived.

Prince Yan was neither salty nor indifferent: "It's you, you have developed well in the Western Regions. Although not many princes in the customs pay attention to your development, I have always heard that you have almost unified the territory directly controlled by the Protectorate of the Western Regions and are attacking Thirty-six countries in the Western Regions."

Huo An was seen through his careful thoughts, so he generously admitted: "I thought no one would pay attention to this desolate place in the Western Regions and want to hide, but it seems that you have discovered it. But the focus of my power is not inside the customs, but outside the customs. . Recently at war with Dawan Kingdom, these nine horses are Dawan horses plundered from Dawan Kingdom."

"Dawan horse?"

Prince Yan heard that it was a precious Dawan horse, and couldn't help but look sideways.

Due to its geographical location, Central Asia is rich in excellent war horses, and the Dawan horse is the best among them. Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty coveted the Dawan horse.

Huo An actually brought Dawan Ma over, which is enough to show how much he attaches importance to this matter.

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

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

"This is Fan Xiwen?"

Chu Tian noticed Fan Zhongyan, a civil servant brought by Prince Yan. Although Fan Zhongyan was a civil minister, he had led soldiers and promoted Di Qing, and he was considered both civil and military.

But it was too difficult for Fan Zhongyan to deal with Mingguan's cavalry group.

"West Liaoning County has been completely controlled by Mingguan. He owns two places in western Liaoning and eastern Liaoning, and the population he actually controls is quite large. In the battle of Mobei, I will not be involved. Maybe, take advantage of him to participate in the battle of Mobei. In the meantime, I can make a comeback.

"

Prince Yan revealed his plan. His intentions are obvious, and Mingguan will also notice.

"I have recently been targeted by the Dawan Kingdom, Wusun Kingdom, Da Yuezhi, and the Kuishan Empire, and a small-scale battle has broken out with them. I need to settle fields on the edge of the basin and some oases along the river to accumulate strength for a few years. , and at the same time suppress the small countries in the thirty-six countries, only then can we be able to go west."

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

Most of the feudal lords focused their attention on the customs, while ignoring the Protectorate of the Western Regions. As a result, Huo An was the only one to dominate the Protectorate of the Western Regions.

Huo An said: "I heard that you have been suppressing Cao Cao. Are you planning to destroy Cao Cao?"

Chu Tian said calmly: "I just want to keep the fields in Xuzhou, but Cao Cao prevented me from farming, so I can only destroy 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 at the Lord's Mansion.

The Taishan Corps of Li Guang and Du Ruhui went to attack Jinan. The governor of Qingzhou sent military generals to guard the Dongping Mausoleum. Li Guang was short of elite troops and could not attack for a long time.

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

They don't have to worry about being attacked by 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 Chutian forces have gathered together.

Zheng Zhilong and Xu Sheng's Fubo Corps had already captured Donglai County's administration and returned to Xiacheng from Donglai County's administration.

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

Yang Ye returned from Xiaopei.

Zhou Yafu, Xu Rong, and Hua Xiong, who were opposite to Cao Yang, came back from Yanzhou. Since Zhou Yafu went to Yanzhou to fight, he has not seen Chutian.

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

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

Even though Chutian only summoned the core people, the outside of the lord's mansion was still crowded, and Chutian had to send soldiers from the Fifth School of the Northern Army to maintain order.

The coming generals include 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 Kui, Zhang Zhao, Zhang Hong, Lu Su, Wang Lang, Chen Deng, Chen Gui, Zhao Yu, and some civil servants who may not even be able to name Chu Tian... In addition to the civil servants and generals, there are also some special characters, such as Lu Zhi, Zheng Xuan, Cai Yong, Kong Rong, Du Fu, Cai Wenji, Langya Zhuge's family, swordsmith Mo Xie, and divine doctor Hua Tuo.

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

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

Their ability is no longer qualified for higher positions, but as the first group of veterans, they lived a good life.

There are also Xueyue and a group of aliens who have contributed to Chutian's forces. They have formed Chutian's secret intelligence network among the aliens.

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

Hua Mulan handed over her mansion near the lord's mansion to Li Xiuning and Joan of Arc, and she planned to move to the lord's mansion.

"you……"

Joan of Arc now finally understands why Hua Mulan often sneaks to the lord's mansion.

But it doesn't seem to have much to do with her.

As the second Captain Ying Yang, she is also qualified to participate in this feast, and she is only responsible for eating.

Li Xiuning is responsible for guarding Joan of Arc, and at the same time protecting Xia Xia Liang's safety, so it is not surprising that he lives next to the lord's mansion.

The servants of the lord's mansion went in and out, busy making preparations. This time they were entertaining the most important group of civil servants and military generals of Chutian forces. For the servants, no one could afford to offend them.

After meeting the two lords, Prince Yan and Huo An, Chu Tian summoned the military generals individually to inquire about the wars in various places and confirm their loyalty.

Among them, the general Xu Rong was the general who was recruited by Xia Xia Liang to surrender. Chu Tian had never seen Xu Rong since the beginning of the national war. This time Xu Rong was recalled, and he was also able to check Xu Rong's attributes.

【Name】: Xu Rong

[Talent]: Diamond-level Commander (Cavalry)

[Level]: 80

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

【Aspect】: calm

[Characteristic 1]: Force advantage (A-level feature, when the commander has more troops than the enemy, the attack power of the own army +10%, and the morale drop rate of the enemy +10%)

[Feature 2]: Ambush advantage (A-level characteristic, when the ambush is successful, the attack power of the own army +13%, the morale drop speed of the enemy +13%)

【Special Arms】: None

Xu Rong's ability is not bad. When Xu Rong uses the advantage of his troops to ambush successfully, his cavalry attack power can be up to +23%, and it can also make the enemy's morale drop rapidly.

If Xu Rong had an advantage in force and had elite cavalry, it would be possible to defeat Sun Jian, who had fewer troops, and Cao Cao, who was carrying a large number of recruits.

Xu Rong was not a confidant of Dong Zhuo's Xiliang army, so he had no special arms, which also meant that Xu Rong could not be restricted by special arms, and belonged to the cavalry commander of the panacea, wherever he needed to go.

He is not a confidant of the Xiliang Legion. It is not bad to be able to hold on for a while before surrendering.

"Your 'Xiliang Legion' has only 10,000 light cavalry and 1,000 Xiliang iron cavalry. It's only in name, but in the future, the establishment of the Xiliang Legion will be gradually increased."

When Chutian learned that Xu Rong had the superiority of troops, the legion could exert greater combat power, and decided to expand the establishment of the Xiliang legion in the future.

Originally, there were 282,000 professional soldiers in Xuzhou. Later, the Taishan Defense Corps (40,000), the Beihai Defense Corps (30,000), and the expected Donglai Defense Corps (5,000) were established. The establishment of Chutian’s command expanded. to 357,000.

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 raising 40,000 to 50,000 professional soldiers in one county, which is more than enough.

In addition to 357,000 people, Chutian may have to recruit the White Pao Army for Chen Qingzhi, the Bingzhou Wolf Cavalry for Yang Ye, and expand the strength of Xu Rong's Xiliang Army, which may eventually reach 400,000.

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

The fact that Zhuge Jin can flourish among the forces of Eastern Wu shows that Zhuge Jin is a smart person, and he has already seen that Chu Tian intends to cultivate Zhuge Liang. For the sake of the future of the Zhuge family, he intends to draw in the relationship between his younger brother Zhuge Liang and the state shepherd.

"Fang Xuanling and Du Ruhui often follow me on expeditions. I wonder what you learned from Lu Zhi?"

Chutian arranged for Fang Xuanling and Du Ruhui to be Zhuge Liang's teachers, but Fang Xuanling and Du Ruhui often served as the military advisers of the legion. At present, the person who taught Zhuge Liang the most was Lu Zhi.

Zhuge Liang replied, "Sir, teach me how to behave in the world."

"If Li Kui, Prime Minister of Xiapi, has time, you can also ask him to be your teacher. If you have any doubts, you can ask him."

It is difficult for top advisers to calculate each other, Chutian prefers to train Zhuge Liang to be the Minister of the Interior, and Li Kui is a qualified teacher of state governance.

Zhuge Jin saw that Chu Tian introduced Xiapixiang to Zhuge Liang and became another teacher of Zhuge Liang. He could already be sure that Xuzhou Mu valued Zhuge Liang, so he thanked him.

"If you're going to work in the next two years, you can come directly to the lord's mansion and say hello to me."

Chu Tian wanted to wipe out Zhuge's family and would not let Zhuge Jin leave.

"The younger generation is sincere and frightened, and will be devastated in the future!"

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

Historically, the Langya Zhuge family in Wei, Shu and Wu all served as high-ranking officials to diversify their investments, but now Chutian wants to collect them into one power, and let the Zhuge family follow him alone, with one prosperous and one lost.

More and more people gathered in the lord's mansion, and Xia Liang and Hua Mulan in the backyard dressed up with the help of the maids. Xia Xia Liang knew what Chu Tian liked, so she redesigned and tailored Fengguanxiapi.

She didn't know that the phoenix crown shabby she designed would be popular in Xuzhou in the future and become another special product of Xuzhou silk shop in addition to underwear.

For Xia Xia Liang and Hua Mulan, this time it was just a passing scene, because they had been with Chutian for a long time, and Xia Xia Liang even had children.

Li Xiuning just turned a blind eye to this, unless she is also caught in it, it has nothing to do with her.

Xuzhou Mu Chu Zimou invited only over a hundred people this time, and the scale can be said to be small, but it still spread like wildfire, causing a lot of gossip among the princes.

What the princes care about is not who Xuzhou shepherds marry, but how many big people are present!

Most of the big figures who attended Xuzhou Animal Husbandry have their origins, and their quality is so high that they are unique in the entire Eastern Han Dynasty!

Le Yi, Zhou Yafu, Chen Qingzhi, Xue Rengui, Zhao Yun, Li Guang, Fang Xuanling, Du Ruhui, Li Kui, Jiang Dong two...

Just taking one out is enough to be enviable.

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

It turns out that no matter which civilization, they are interested in gossip, which is a common interest of all mankind.

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

"Don't mention that fallen woman, she is a disgrace to us in France."

When the lord of France heard that someone saw Joan of Arc at the banquet of Chu Zimou, he was instantly angry.

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

"Chu Zimou of the Eastern Han Dynasty is getting married? What does this have to do with me? I don't care, I definitely don't care... Next time I see him, I must capture him alive and then cut him off."

Ekaterina gritted her teeth.
