Back to the Three Kingdoms

Zhuge Jin was overjoyed when he heard Zhuge Liang's words, and smiled: "This is what you said, let's say it all!"

Zhuge Liang picked up the wine glass and ate it with a smile, and said with a smile; "It's settled!" Zhuge Jin also picked up the wine glass and ate it, laughing. Immediately Zhuge Jin said with a worried expression, "Kong Ming, I am really worried that the Xianbei people will really go south! Today Xianbei has annexed the Huns, just like the Hun empire back then! Back then, when my great Han was in full bloom It took so many years to defeat the Huns! If Xianbei really went south, Chen Lang would surely collapse in the Xianbei Ironshoe Wave, and the entire Central Plains would also be greatly threatened! Alas, I really do. I am worried that the prosperous city of Luoyang will eventually be destroyed in the hands of the Xianbei!"

Zhuge Liang raised his head and drank another glass of wine, and said with a smile: "It's not that there is no chance of winning, it depends on whether Chen Lang is really as I hoped!"

Zhugejin looked at Zhuge Liang in surprise, and said, "Kong Ming looks at Chen Lang very highly! But I don't think Chen Lang can withstand Xianbei! Even the emperor might not be able to do it!"

Zhuge Liang smiled.

In Luoyang, it was late at night, but Chen Lang was still looking at reports sent from various places. These reports involved military, civil affairs, and business. From these reports, Chen Lang could get a rough idea of ​​the current state of governance. The places where Chen Lang currently rules, including Luoyang, Guanzhong, the area south of Yanmenguan in Binzhou and Xiliang, can be said that the northwest of the entire empire is already under his control, with a population of nearly 9 million and an army of 700,000. There are dozens of famous generals, sufficient money and food, which can be described as strong; however, due to the rapid expansion and the shortage of talents in hand, the current officials in various places are still the previous officials, and there are many problems and problems. Luoyang area is very prosperous, and business activities are very frequent. But other places are far different. The people have sharpened their heads and want to come to Luoyang. No matter what preferential measures Chen Lang introduces, few people are willing to go to places like Bingzhou and Guanzhong, not to mention the more desolate Xiliang. Now, the wealthy population gathers in Luoyang, but other places have difficulties in development. This is definitely not a good thing! This situation reminded Chen Lang of the big cities of his time, north to Guangzhou and Shenzhen, where population and wealth almost gathered in those four places. Although this has promoted economic prosperity, it has also brought many problems.

Chen Lang put down the report and rubbed the corners of his eyes. He turned his head and looked out the window, wondering when it was.

At this moment, Juan'er came in with the steaming white fungus soup, put it in front of Chen Lang, and said, "Master, I have cooked a bowl of white fungus soup."

Chen Lang smiled, picked up the white fungus soup, eating and drinking, it felt very sweet. Chen Lang finished the white fungus soup in a few strokes and put the bowl on the desk. Juaner put away the empty bowl and looked very happy.

Chen Lang asked: "When is it now?"

"It's time to go."

Chen Lang stood up and walked out of the study. Juan'er stood behind Chen Lang, looking at him with big eyes. Chen Lang stretched his waist and glanced at the dazzling starry sky. He heard the noise of the night market and the scream of Xia Chan in the courtyard. Chen Lang took a deep breath, and the cool night breeze poured into his lungs, and he immediately became sober.

"Have Xiangxiang and Yuanyuan rested?" Chen Lang asked.

Juaner smiled and said: "The son forgot that Mrs. Dong took Ms. Dong and Xiangxiang to the Zhang Mansion this morning!" Chen Lang remembered now, and smiled: "I almost forgot about it!" Said to Juan'er; "Juan'er, you go to rest first." Juan'er smiled: "I'm not sleepy at all! I want to stay with the son, lest he has any needs and no one is waiting for him!" Chen Lang smiled , It's up to her.

Chen Lang walked down the steps and walked along the corridor to the lake in the backyard. The figure of the moon reflected in the lake next to Chen Lang walked along.

Chen Lang thought about the current situation for a while, and his thoughts flew back to the world he came from involuntarily. Stopped, looked at the lake reflecting the bright moon in the sky, and muttered: "It has been two years since I came here, and the memory of that world has become blurred. It feels as if the experience of that world is nothing but Nanke Yimeng!" Chen Lang After thinking about it for a while, he laughed at himself and said, "How come I am so sentimental! Maybe it's because I'm getting older!" He touched his chin, and Hu scum swept across his palms and snorted.

Chen Lang smiled. Inadvertently looking at Juan'er, who had been following her, she was surprised to find that Juan'er had actually fallen asleep leaning on the steps of the corridor, her hair hanging on her cheeks, she looked very cute. Chen Lang walked up and saw that Juan'er was indeed asleep, and couldn't help but smile. After thinking for a while, she gently hugged Juan'er and walked towards her room. The two maids who were on duty at night happened to see such a scene, they were first surprised, and then they showed infinite jealousy and resentment. Friends who have read the previous article should know that these maids in Chen Lang's mansion are actually beauties sent by other princes. They are not simple in their minds. Everyone has sharpened their heads and wants to be favored by Chen Lang. I hate Juaner who can stay with Chen Lang all the time!

auzw.comChen Lang walked into her room holding Juan'er, gently placed her on the bed, and then pulled the quilt over to cover her. Looking at her quiet and beautiful face, Chen Lang couldn't help but feel a feeling of love for his sister. He smiled, left the room gently, and closed the door smoothly. Seeing that Chen Lang came out of Juan'er's room soon, the two maids couldn't help calming down a lot of depression. Seeing Chen Lang walking towards this corridor, the two women couldn't help but move their hearts, hung their heads and hurried to greet them.

When she came to Chen Lang, a maid immediately bowed: "Well, see the lord!" However, at the same time, another maid slammed into Chen Lang's arms, exclaimed and hurriedly pleaded guilty. The maid who was saluting then reacted with jealousy in her heart and cursed secretly: ‘You shameless hoof! So cunning! ’

Chen Lang smiled and said, "You don't need to be polite." Then he crossed the two maids and walked towards the lake.

The two women stood up. The maid who crashed into Chen Lang’s arms was disappointed, and the maid who was saluting looked at her companion like a misfortune, and whispered taunting: "Sao Tizi throws her arms in her arms! It's a pity that she looks mediocre. The lord is unmoved!" The maid was so embarrassed that she immediately sneered: "The lord at least greeted me with a smile, but not to you. He didn't even look straight at you!" The maid was so embarrassed that she snorted and left first. went.

Early the next morning, Chen Lang went to the armory outside the city. Towards noon, Chen Lang left the armory, preparing to return to the city from the north gate. At this time, the scorching sun is sky, the official roads are endlessly crowded, there are business travelers and ordinary pedestrians, and the bustling, making the empty suburbs become especially lively! The tea sheds on both sides of the official road were crowded with guests who had been exhausted during the journey, and the fragrance of tea echoed over the official road.

"Oh! What a bad luck! My trip has lost everything!" In a tea shed next to him, a middle-aged man with the appearance of a merchant was complaining to his deskmate.

The companion on the left said in a puzzled way: "Did you not turn around when you went to Xianbei to do business last time? Why did you lose everything this time?"

When Chen Lang, who was passing by this tea shed, heard this, his heart moved, and he stopped the black dragon. Upon seeing this, Dian Wei and others stopped immediately.

Chen Lang got off his horse and walked into the tea shed. Dian Wei and a few others hurriedly got off his horse and followed in, while other fangs were waiting outside.

Chen Lang walked up to the merchants and clasped his fists with a smile: "Brothers." The merchants raised their heads and saw that the visitors were energetic and heroic, and there were officers and soldiers around him. He immediately did not dare to neglect, and stood up and saluted. : "Cao Min has seen the general!"

Chen Lang smiled; "I just heard you say that you are doing business in Xianbei. I have something to ask you. I wonder if you would like to enlighten me?" Several people quickly said, "It is an honor for me to be able to talk to the general! "

Chen Lang sat down and smiled and said to the few people who were afraid to sit: "You don't need to be formal, let's sit down and talk." Several merchants yelled and sat down one after another. At this time, Xiao Er asked respectfully: "I don't know what kind of tea the general would like to drink? Can I use snacks?" Chen Lang said: "Just serve a good pot of tea, and then give everyone a plate of snacks." Xiao Er With a promise, I hurried down. Several merchants thanked one after another: "Thank you General!"

Chen Lang smiled and said, "I will meet you if you are destined. You don't have to be polite!" Then he asked the merchant who said that he had no money, and said: "I saw you just now that you had gone to Xianbei to do business but had no money? What is it? what happened?"

The merchant couldn't help sighing, and said annoyed: "It's not just me. Merchants like us who do business in Xianbei have been in bad luck recently! The Xianbei people confiscated all our property and drove us Han merchants away. Come back! Everyone has suffered a heavy loss!" Chen Lang frowned and asked, "The Xianbei drove all the Han merchants back?" The merchant nodded and said, "Fortunately, everyone has no casualties, just lost money. !" Then thanked Chen Lang gratefully; "Thanks to the presence of the eagle and the army, Xianbei talents dare not be too presumptuous!" Everyone agreed. Chen Lang laughed at himself and waved his hand: "If this is the case, the Xianbei people would not dare to **** your property!"

...

Chen Lang entered Luoyang City, still thinking about the news he had just received from the merchants.

Dian Wei suddenly shouted: "The lord has gone wrong, he should go to the left!"

Chen Lang recovered and stopped the black dragon. Seeing that he had just passed the crossroads, he really took the wrong path. Then I thought that this road was going to Zhang's house, so I wanted to go to Zhang's house to see Yuanyuan. Yuanyuan had just experienced the blow of her father's bereavement, and Chen Lang was a little worried about her.
