Chapter 316 Territory Matters
"Ahem, okay, the main thing we gathered today is to discuss the Hulao war. The matter of Tianjiao Peak can be discussed after the Lord returns."
Seeing that Liu Bian and Zhang Wen were about to blush, Huangfu Song coughed and stopped them.
It’s hard to say whether it was a drastic change in temperament or whether it was because they let themselves go in various ways, but Zhang Wen and Liu Bian’s personalities were in great contrast to their early years.
As far as Zhang Wen is concerned, he farmed fields, built cities, led troops, served as one of the Three Officials and Nine Ministers, and then his whole family was almost killed.
It can be regarded as a great enlightenment, right?
Now, under Liu Cang's command, he is in charge of farmland and city construction, and he is seeing a variety of high-yielding crops filling the Han land. If they are properly bred, they will probably be famous throughout the ages.
No, with Cai Yong here he will definitely be famous throughout the ages. Zhang Wen was extremely persistent in reclaiming land for farming and domesticating vegetation, and even dared to butt an ox when he met Liu Bian.
Liu Bian, on the other hand, is much simpler. Liu Bian is neither stupid nor dull, but he is partial to subjects.
Alchemists are probably the predecessors of Taoist priests. In essence, they are different from most religions. They are engaged in academics and basically not religious.
It's just that the academics they play are either illusory, or a bit advanced, in short, all kinds of non-mainstream.
Liu Bian has lived with the alchemists since he was a child, and his interests and hobbies are also some strange things. He is not very young at first, and he often has only a little knowledge of the worldly affairs, so he seems to be unsophisticated and a bit slow.
The strange beasts on Liu Cang's side seemed to allow Liu Bian to find his own value, especially after being trained by Liu Cang several times.
Crying and begging for mercy was of no use, and Liu Bian gradually realized it.
Except for Liu Cang, no one dared to beat him. Except for Liu Cang, if anyone beat him, he would go to Liu Cang. He was not afraid of anyone.
Liu Bian said, talk? We, the royal family, are not weak to others!!
The two people were persuaded by Huangfu Song to stop arguing, but their identities were an eye-opener for Chen Deng. In Chen Deng's opinion, the behavior of the two people was very different from the outside rumors. Maybe someone was deliberately belittling them?
"It has been decided that the lord does not want to participate in the current disputes, and the military rations that the lord needs have been successfully developed."
"Portable dry food, which combines carbohydrates, proteins, fats, vitamins, and salt, is dried and pressed into blocks. The dry food can be mixed with water. It is half a catty per person and has a shelf life of half a year. This is a sample. Please take a look at it, generals."
Amid Chen Deng's various speculations about Liu Bian and Zhang Wen, a man wearing a mask took out a square cake as big as a palm and as thick as a thumb and passed it to the armored people in the palace.
Chen Deng understood every word spoken by the man named Zhang Shang, but when the whole sentence was put together, Chen Deng was confused.
"Well, this thing is convenient for expeditions. There is no need to make it on weekdays. A little reserve is enough to deal with emergencies." A group of generals passed it around and finally passed it to Huangfu Song.
This military ration is not delicious. One and a half catties can meet the physical needs of an elite soldier for a day.
The main reason is that it is nutritionally balanced and easy to carry. If there is a long battle or the like, it will not have much impact if each soldier carries rations for ten or twenty days.
After a while, Chen Deng also figured out the general meanings of words such as carbohydrates and proteins in this military ration, and roughly understood the manufacturing materials. Chen Deng secretly sighed that the ingredients consumed in this military ration are much more luxurious than ordinary people's three meals a day...
Of the half a catty, the air-dried and ground fine meat accounts for one-third. Even though the whole dish is only half a catty, the amount of fresh ingredients at the beginning of production is much heavier than the finished product.
However, Chen Deng is not a person who does not understand military matters. In this war, combat readiness and the combat literacy of the soldiers are of course important.
But running well and eating well are probably the foundation of everything.
War is not something you just get into with a knife and a slap on the butt.
"Antibiotics have also been prepared by Lao Fu and Yuan Hua, but resistance will appear after artemisinin is refined. If not necessary, fresh decoctions should be used mainly." After the army rations were over, Zhang Ji spoke up, and Chen Deng began to talk again.
In the fog.
"There is an exclusive hall for doctors in the government city. If you two have any needs, you can discuss it with me in detail. You should also discuss it with Shi Feng in advance to make plans." Zhang Wen said politely.
"There is no place for us to interfere in Mr. Zhang's supervision." Zhang Jifu must be respected.
"Zhongjing can just ask for your forgiveness." Zhang Wen smiled and shook his head, and the atmosphere was very harmonious.
"We have no doubt about the government city, but I don't know what the plan is for the Evil Valley medicinal field. The medicines have different properties and require different landforms and environments, but they cannot be treated as farmland." Zhang Ji asked, and Zhang Wen's face froze.
"After this... I'll ask Zhongjing for advice." Zhang Wen said with a headache.
"Haha, we all know that Hui Shu is busy. This is Chen Deng, who is also good at farming. If Hui Shu has no time, he may be able to share the responsibility for the evil grain and medicine fields." Zhang Ji said with a smile, and Chen Deng was stunned.
"Oh? Chen Yuanlong? The Lord's letter also mentioned that the disease was cured?" Zhang Wen was overjoyed. Lubei and Changshengling were created from scratch, but he was so busy that he had a headache.
"It's no longer serious. After some time, the disease will be cured with some more vomiting and diarrhea." Zhang Ji was confident.
"In this case, I will hand it over to Yuan Long." Zhang Wen's face was gentle, while Chen Deng's eyes were a little straight.
Are you still having vomiting and diarrhea? Wait, why don’t you just leave it to me? Is this just here to treat your illness? Why does it seem like you have become a subordinate of King Dongping?
Everyone in the hall naturally ignored his suggestion. Chen Deng opened his mouth, but did not say a word: "Forget it, just treat it as a medical fee."
"There are thirty box crossbows in Sanshanguan, distributed on two mountains, and the attack covers a kilometer range from the entrance of the eastern pass."
"One Harrier Sky Hook and Scythe, with a range of 500 to 800 steps. This thing costs a lot of money. It only has four shots for the time being. It can only be used as a deterrent." After Zhang Ji said this, Shifeng, who was also wearing a mask, said.
"We really don't care about the war in Hulao Pass?" Among the military generals, three young men, Zhang Liao, Pang De, and Wei Yan, gathered together. Pang De asked as if they were inspired.
"My lord hasn't come back yet, just do your best in Lingzhong." Jia Xu shook his head.
"Wen He, the Yuan family in Runan, has ulterior motives. They want to kill my He family. Can we take this opportunity to eliminate them?" Among the girls, He Lian, who was next to Cai Yan, suddenly asked in a cold voice.
Zou Jing, who admired Cai Yong more and became Cai Yong's little follower, was recording what everyone said, but at this time, she stopped writing.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Chen Deng's eyes narrowed, and Liu Bian's mother's call also confirmed He Lian's identity.
Very good, since Prince Bian is here, Chen Deng can barely accept the addition of Queen Mother He.
But is it appropriate for you to say in front of someone that you want to get rid of the Yuan family in Runan? Chen Deng secretly complained... "The queen mother does not need to worry too much, Yuan Shu and Sun Jian have already laid the foundation for trouble in Nanyang. I think Dong Zhuo will not let this opportunity go."
"Since Yuan Shao has led the leader Dong, hehe, the Yuan family in Runan, the day the battle begins will be the day when the Yuan family will be destroyed." Jia Xu chuckled, and He Lian lowered his head and said nothing.
Chen Deng's hair stood on end after listening to the brief exchange. He was also a good listener and good at discriminating, and he could understand everything after a little analysis.
But when I saw a group of people acting like they didn't care about the world outside, and yet talking about the decline of the wealthy family, I felt a moment of discomfort.
Everyone in the hall talked about trivial matters about the development of Changshengling. Jia Xu, Huangfu Song, and Cai Yong distinguished between them, and Cai Yan and Zhang Xiuniang made the final decisions.
After talking about the internal affairs, everyone turned the topic to the matter of the allied forces outside Hulao Pass to challenge Dong. The general in the palace began to analyze the combat strength of all parties. After a while, Liu Yuan scratched his head and asked Jia Xu.
"Generals Pan Feng and Ji Ling are also in the alliance with Dong. The lord once said that he would bring them back for training. Let's just go and get them?"
"Well... then go get it. Arrange according to the Lord's instructions. Oh, by the way, if there is a chance, I will also get Hua Xiong back. Don't worry about Dong Zhuo." Jia Xu nodded thoughtfully, and became more and more casual when talking about Dong Zhuo.
.
"Um, I heard that the emperor has been sent to Chang'an?" There were many people who laughed evilly among the military generals. Seeing that Cai Yan wanted to let everyone leave, Liu Bian asked hesitantly.
"Well, Dong Zhuo's son-in-law is guarding Chang'an with a heavy army. To prevent anyone from taking advantage of the chaos to cause trouble, Dong Zhuo sent the emperor and some courtiers to Chang'an."
"Chang'an has Liangzhou at its back, which is more beneficial to Dong Zhuo. Dong Zhuo must have thought about moving the capital." Jia Xuruo pointed out.
"Is this... considered holding the emperor hostage?" Liu Bian asked with a frown.
Huangfu Song and Cai Yong's expressions were startled, then unbearable flashed in their eyes. He Lian's face was gloomy, and a sarcastic sneer appeared on the corner of his mouth for a moment.
Jia Xu, on the other hand, looked pale and looked at Liu Bian: "Yes, it is to hold the emperor hostage."
Everyone was silent, and many shook their heads and sighed.
