Three Kingdoms: Daily settlement helps Liu Bei revive the Shu Han dynasty.

After expressing his feelings, Liu Bei asked, "When do you plan to start the school?"

"We need to hurry up and take over the southern part of Danyang this year, and I haven't finished compiling the teaching materials yet."

"Building the school may have to wait until next year," Lu Yong replied.

"You're going to compile the teaching materials?" Liu Bei and Lu Su asked at the same time, their voices full of surprise.

Lu Yong explained, "The current textbooks are difficult even for adults to learn, let alone children."

I plan to create something simple, easy to understand, and catchy so that even seven- or eight-year-old children can read it.

Of course, in addition to reading and writing, they also had to learn arithmetic.

Addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division

It can be used for daily bookkeeping, measuring fields, and calculating grain taxes.

When they got to university,

In addition, courses such as law, military strategy, agriculture, water conservancy, commerce, and natural philosophy will be offered.

"Each should draw on their strengths and apply what they have learned..."

Liu Bei stared at Lu Yong, who was talking non-stop, and for a moment he didn't know what to say.

In a peaceful and prosperous era, someone like Lu Yong, who is "unorthodox," would probably never have a chance to rise in society.

But now we live in a chaotic world, and the old system of the Han Dynasty is riddled with problems and is no longer sufficient to support the continuation of the Han Dynasty.

Only by breaking down the old can we build a new one; only then can we find a glimmer of hope.

Lu Yong's strange yet practical ideas were exactly what could be used to establish a new order.

Liu Bei is now very eager to see what kind of new world Lu Yong can create.

"You can speed up the writing of the teaching materials; you can retrieve whatever you need yourself."

Liu Bei patted Lu Yong on the shoulder, "The school must begin construction next year."

Lu Yong cupped his hands in greeting: "Yes, sir."

After discussing the school, Lu Yong changed the subject: "My lord, I have another matter to ask of you."

"you say."

"I plan to wait for General Zhang to return, and then lead the new army to take Jing County."

Liu Bei raised an eyebrow slightly: "So eager?"

Lu Yong explained: "Jing County is located southwest of Wanling, with large river valley plains along both banks of the river."

The soil there is deep and the water supply is plentiful, making it an ideal place to grow crops.

Lu Su added at the opportune moment: "Jing County is not only a granary, but also a gateway to the south."

By controlling Jing County, we can cut off the vital passage into the southern mountainous area of ​​Danyang.

Liu Bei pondered for a moment: "Zu Lang has been entrenched in Jing County for many years, and his Yue soldiers are brave and not easy to deal with."

Lu Yong nodded and said, "My lord, rest assured, I am not a reckless person."

Liu Bei had witnessed Lu Yong's style of leading troops; he was so cautious that even his own people were afraid of him.

With Zhang Fei's help, there's no need to worry too much.

"How many people do you plan to take?" Liu Bei asked.

"Six thousand new soldiers are enough."

Liu Bei frowned slightly and said, "Isn't that a bit too few? Zu Lang has tens of thousands of men under his command."

"The quality of an army is more important than its quantity."

Since Lu Yong had already said that, Liu Bei stopped trying to persuade him and instead said, "Yide is still in Jiangbei, and we don't know when he will be able to return."

Before Lu Yongzheng could answer, a thunderous roar suddenly came from outside the courtyard, "Huai'an! Lu Huai'an! Are you inside?!"

The sound was so loud that it made people's eardrums vibrate even through the courtyard and the wall.

Liu Bei's lips twitched, and he muttered, "Speak of Yide, Yide has arrived."

Before he finished speaking, Zhang Fei had already strode into the hall.

He was covered in dust.

The armor was still covered in mud, indicating that they had rushed back.

As soon as Zhang Fei entered the room, he looked around and his eyes lit up when he saw Lu Yong.

However, he quickly noticed Liu Bei and suppressed his excitement as he stepped forward to greet him, saying, "Greetings, elder brother."

"Yide, weren't you escorting the people north of the river? Why have you suddenly returned?" Liu Bei helped Zhang Fei up and asked casually.

"Brother, you don't know this," Zhang Fei grinned and said, "When the people heard that you were distributing land and houses, they were all eager to hurry on their way, afraid that if they arrived late, everything would be gone."

Fewer than 10,000 people remained afterward, so my second brother and I discussed it and decided to return early.

Liu Bei patted Zhang Fei's arm, which was as thick as Lu Yong's thigh, and said with a wry smile, "You've come back just in time. Huai'an was just looking for you."

Zhang Fei turned his head and stared curiously at Lu Yong, asking, "Strategist, are you looking for me too?"

"Yes." Lu Yong nodded and said, "I intend to send troops to capture Jing County in early February, and I would like the Third General to serve as my vanguard!"

"That's great!" Zhang Fei laughed and grabbed Lu Yong's arm.

Lu Yong was pulled so hard he swayed, and quickly steadied himself, saying, "Third General, let go, let go..."

Zhang Fei not only didn't loosen his grip, but instead tightened it even more.

He brought his face close to Lu Yong's and lowered his voice.

He spoke in a volume he thought was very soft, but which could actually be heard throughout the entire hall:

"I drank all the wine that my elder brother sent over."

The wine is excellent!

There's just too little!

Do you have any left?

Lu Yong replied, half-laughing and half-crying, "Third General, the production of that wine is small, and we still need to sell it for money and to do favors..."

"Hey!!" Zhang Fei's eyes widened instantly, and he said, "Huai'an, you're not being fair! Back then, I was the one who saved you!!!"

Liu Bei, unable to bear it any longer, coughed lightly and said, "Yide, mind your manners."

Zhang Fei said "Oh" and released Lu Yong.

Lu Yong then said, "Third General, after you help me conquer Jing County, I will give you three jars of fine wine with different flavors, how about it?"

"Is this really true?" Zhang Fei was practically drooling.

"When I, Lu Huai'an, go back on my word, do I ever break it?"

"Of course I, Old Zhang, believe you!"

After the two finished tugging,

Lu Su suddenly said, "Strategist, Zu Lang has been entrenched in Jing County for many years, and his Yue soldiers are fierce and fearless. A direct confrontation would probably not be worthwhile. Have you thought of any way to break this deadlock?"

Lu Yong pondered for a moment and said, "The various tribes of the Yue Mountains are not on good terms to begin with. Zu Lang was able to suppress them by force."

If we send someone infiltrate and spread rumors that he is colluding with government troops to annex other tribes…”

Halfway through his sentence, Lu Yong suddenly caught a glimpse of a figure out of the corner of his eye.

At the entrance of the courtyard,

A figure dressed in a blue robe with loose hair was walking by unsteadily.

It was Guo Jia.

Lu Yong made a move with zero frames, rushing out in two steps at a time.

Before Guo Jia could react, his arm was grabbed.

"?"

Before he could react...

Lu Yong had already dragged him into the hall.

"Hey, hey, hey—" Guo Jia staggered a couple of steps, finally regaining his senses: "Pulling and pulling each other in broad daylight, what kind of behavior is this?"

"Slow down!!"

"Slower!!!"

Lu Yong practically dragged Guo Jia into the hall.

Upon entering, Guo Jia discovered that Liu Bei, Lu Su, and Zhang Fei were all present.

He quickly straightened his hair, cupped his hands, and said, "Greetings, my lord."

Liu Bei smiled and nodded.

Guo Jia then looked at Lu Yong, his face full of disdain, and said, "It's almost time to get off work, what's the rush?"

"So soon?" Lu Yong turned around in surprise, glanced at the sky outside, and subconsciously said, "How about we talk about it tomorrow?"

"..." Lu Su, Liu Bei, and Zhang Fei's faces immediately fell into a deep black line.

"Just kidding, just kidding..."

Seeing the expressions on their faces, Lu Yong quickly changed his tune, then stared at Guo Jia with a serious expression and asked, "Is your intelligence organization usable now?"

Guo Jia was taken aback.

He immediately dropped his previous lazy demeanor and said seriously, "We've recruited enough people, and we're currently intensifying training."

Lu Yong nodded, and then explained in detail his strategy for taking Jing County and sowing discord among the Yue people in the mountains.

Guo Jia pondered for a moment, a glint of shrewdness flashing in his eyes, and said slowly:

"Rumors alone are probably not enough."

"I have a plan that can turn Zu Lang into an enemy of his people!"
