Three Kingdoms: Prosper Han from the beginning of brushing favorability

Chapter 41 The Second Son, Falling in Jiangdong
"The first thing is to choose the location of the cottage."

Liu Chan started with an easy-to-understand talk, and talked about "the self-cultivation of bandits" to several village owners.

"First of all, we must ensure a certain degree of self-sufficiency. There must be a certain amount of arable land, sufficient water sources, and the minerals needed to build weapons by ourselves."

The people of Wudi Mountain and Yue are no strangers to making weapons. Although the quality can't be said to be very good, as long as there are mines, at least everyone can be guaranteed to have weapons.

"And these points are not available in Changsha County. In my opinion..." Liu Chan spread out the map in his hand and pointed to the northeast. "It's better to choose here."

Liu Chan's finger finally stopped at the junction of Lujiang County and Danyang County.

"Copper and iron are mostly produced in the mountains here. Although there are rivers running through, there is no shortage of water sources, but the waterways are not wide enough for warships to walk.

"Besides, it is located on the border of two states, and the terrain is complex. If one day we lose our strength, we can also attack it. You can choose a place that is easy to defend but difficult to attack to build a cottage."

Several village owners nodded repeatedly, and Chai Rong stared at the place Liu Chan was pointing at, trying to firmly imprint the map and what Liu Chan said in his mind.

"After the location is selected, the second thing is how to support yourself.

"It's impossible to feed so many of you purely by farming. As a bandit, looting is the most important thing." Liu Chan looked around at the several village owners and asked with a smile, "Then you think about how to rob in the future?" Is anyone there?"

Several village owners looked at each other in blank dismay, thinking that we are familiar with this job, what's the problem?
"Usually robbing those passing merchants who are alone and lonely, if a county is empty, they can naturally rob the villagers..."

"You can't rob the villagers."

Before the village owners could finish speaking, they were interrupted decisively by Liu Chan.

"But... if the villagers are not plundered, where will the money, food and manpower come from?"

"I said, you can't rob the villagers." Liu Chan said seriously.

"Yes." Several people nodded in agreement, but they still couldn't understand it in their hearts.

Seeing that several people agreed, Liu Chan's face softened a little: "It's okay if you don't understand, I'll tell you why.

"Single-handed merchants and poor people, how much money and food can they have? This is just one of them, and the more important thing is..."

He took out a few things and put them on the case, namely a piece of silver, a copper plate, and a handful of soil.

"This is the Sun family of Eastern Wu, these are other powerful families, and these are the common people.

"Even if you are a bandit, you must have a stand and rely on you, otherwise you will be like a tree without roots and will perish sooner or later.

"These three, who do you plan to rely on?"

The other village owners still looked blank, but Chai Rong was thoughtful.

Liu Chan pointed at the silver piece: "Rely on his grandson's family? Naer must go down the mountain voluntarily, farm hard, join the army when young and strong, pay taxes, beg on his knees... a joke!
"Let me ask you guys, why do we want to go up the mountain to become bandits? Isn't it because we have bad legs and feet and can't kneel down?"

Liu Chan clapped the table and said, "Don't we just want to stand and make money?"

"Yes! I can't kneel down!"

"If you want me to be an obedient citizen, unless you are a master like General Gongming, his grandson family is nothing!"

Liu Chan pressed his hands down, and the angry village owners gradually calmed down. He continued: "Then rely on the powerful family? Is it of any use to them?"

Chai Rong shook his head first. He knew those wealthy families, whether they were bullies who ran rampant in the village and fished the common people, or famous families who helped the poor and maintained law and order.

In their eyes, people like themselves are all rubbish.

"You go to plunder the people to compete with the Sun family for resources, and to destroy the powerful and powerful soil of the family. They will not let you go. The people have suffered greatly from it, and they will not tolerate you. At that time, you will be the enemy of the world, how can you Not dead?"

"Hiss..." The village owners gasped, this time they understood it, and couldn't help but feel a little scared.

Hu Li, who stood silently behind Liu Chan, was also full of emotion. No wonder he was able to hold on to Mount Emei for many years without falling down. It turned out that he chose the right path unintentionally.

Seeing that several people finally tasted it, Liu Chan said slowly: "Since you are born in the common people, you must base yourself on the common people, so that you can rely on the common people in the future.

"You can plunder the government, you can plunder large-scale government and businessmen, and you can even plunder the tyrants in the evil village. Even if this is more risky, you can only rob the people, because this seems to be safe, and it is the way to kill. road.

"Instead of plundering the people, you should share some of the plunder with the poor.

"In this way... as long as the wealthy family and the government make a wrong move in the future, your people will come from all over the world, and there will be an endless stream.

"Although this is a thief, he is a righteous thief. Only by relying on external sources can we last long."

Chai Rong's originally confused and chaotic eyes became brighter, as if someone had cleared the heavy fog ahead for him.

He got up and respectfully bowed to Liu Chanchang: "After listening to General Gongming's words, Chai Rong only felt hesitation. If you don't give up, Chai Rong is willing to follow the general from now on. If you have two hearts, the world will not tolerate it!"

Although the other village owners still didn't fully understand, they were also greatly shocked, and bowed down one after another: "I would like to follow the general."

Liu Chan helped Chai Rong up: "I'm here to clear up your doubts, but also to say goodbye. Follow up and talk about it, but it still doesn't work."

Chai Rong was shocked when he heard the words: "The general is leaving?"

Liu Chan nodded: "I still have something important to do, so I can't help myself."

"Dare to ask the general what is the matter? If it is useful to us, we will do our best to repay it!"

"Yes, General Gongming."

"General, you can say who you want to do, as long as I say no, I will be inferior to a porpoise dog!"

Liu Chan smiled subtly: "Everyone's kindness, Song appreciates it. If you can find a treasure land, build a cottage, practice hard, and grow stronger, it will be the greatest help to me."

The other village owners wanted to persuade them again, but Chai Rong tasted something different.

He stopped the others, stepped forward and cupped his hands: "General Gongming has done us a great favor, we will bid farewell today, and we don't know when we will meet again. The general will have an assignment in the future, so don't dare to refuse."

Liu Chan nodded: "Everyone is interested. Don't worry. Before arriving at Lukou, we will be on the way. I can teach you some methods of commanding troops and field battles. However, time is limited. How much you can comprehend... depends on your talents. .”

Several people were overjoyed and thanked again and again.

After resting for a day, Liu Chan and the bandits were afraid that a large number of officers and soldiers would come to retaliate, so they hurriedly evacuated Chaijiazhai, trekking all the way to the northeast.

On the way, he explained some simple military formations that are easy to learn and practice, and some common sense about guerrilla warfare.

When the big troops were about to approach Lukou, they said goodbye to them.

Liu Chan has been out for almost half a month, and it's time to go back.

……

Jiangxia County, Xiakou, Duhufu.

Sun Quan's cousin, Sun Jiao, has just passed his thirties. He is generous with wealth and treats his officials and generals well.

Among the Sun family's clan, they can be regarded as relatively capable young people, with a promising future.

It's just that he is young, but recently he often feels tightness in his chest. After being tired and excited, he often feels tightness and pain in his left chest.

I saw many doctors and drank a lot of medicine, but I still didn't get better.

I heard that Cao Cao was forced to retreat, and Liu Bei had led his army to take Hanzhong, which made his condition even worse.

Guan Yu's troops in Jingzhou were well-stocked with food, and now the rear was stable. Yizhou, which owns Hanzhong, was almost monolithic, and Cao Wei lost troops and lost generals.

If he took advantage of the situation to launch the Northern Expedition and enter the Central Plains, if this happens... In this world, where is his grandson's family singing?
Sun Jiao, who was worried, felt more and more pain in his chest.

"Alas..." With a long sigh, Sun Jiao picked up the medicine bowl.

"General, there is news from Changsha County..."

Sun Jiao looked up and saw the dejected look on the visitor's face, and felt bad.

Changsha?Guan Yu would not have lost his mind and suddenly sent troops to attack Wu, right?
What bad news can there be in Changsha?

"What's the news?"

"Changsha..."

Sun Jiao frowned: "But it doesn't matter."

"General Wu Shuo in Changsha is not good at conquering the mountains. Almost all the 2000 men under his command were wiped out. Only the soldiers who stayed in Linxiang were spared." The postman did not dare to look at Sun Jiao's face. He went out to fight, and died in the army."

"what?!"

With a clang, the medicine bowl fell to the ground, spilling a slice of medicine soup.

Sun Jiao clutched her chest, only feeling that the pain was getting more and more severe, but she still couldn't suppress the anger in her heart.

"The Changsha bandits have only a thousand soldiers to fight, and they are scattered in various villages, and they don't know the art of battle. I have two thousand soldiers with him, even if he fails to suppress the bandits, how can his entire army... the entire army be wiped out? "His chest heaved, his lips were livid, and he felt a little out of breath.

"Trash, trash!"

The loss of two thousand foreign soldiers, even though it hurts my heart, is not considered a serious injury.

Although Wu Shuo has some abilities, he is not a famous general, so he will die as soon as he dies.

But it was too embarrassing for this matter to spread to the ears of my cousin and to the court!

He has always wanted to make some achievements, hoping to overtake Lu Meng and become the biggest talker in the western theater of Soochow.

It's good now, but at this time, I have lost such a big face, I hope it will be completely ruined.

The more he thought about it, the more angry he became, and the more angry he became, the more painful his chest became.

"Uh……!"

Sudden severe pain hit the left chest, Sun Jiao rolled his eyes up immediately, his limbs straightened and he fell backwards, his face livid.

"Hey, General! General?! Come here~!"

……

Historical records: Sun Jiao, courtesy name Shulang, died in the 24th year of Jian'an....

When Liu Chan and the others hurried and ran all the way, they thought they would be chased and intercepted, but they didn't expect the road to be peaceful.

It's as if the annihilation of two thousand Soochow official troops never happened.

But he didn't know that the protector and general Zhenglu who presided over this matter had no time to send troops...he had already been sent to mourning.

And the soldiers under his command will not go out for a short time... because they have already started preparing for the funeral.
