Chapter 976

Liu Ye is a little confused, but still said: "please let him in."

In ancient times, many princes were courteous and thirsty for talents before they were successful. However, once they had talents around, they did not pay attention to other talents. Liu Bei is a good example. In the first half of his life, he was vagrant and defeated many times. He did not get a stable territory. Moreover, he did not have the talent who could plan the strategic direction for him. Until he got Zhuge Liang, this situation did not change.

Zhuge Liang pointed out the strategic policy of Longzhong for Liu Bei, which made Liu Bei occupy Jingzhou and Yizhou successively, and his strength became stronger and stronger. At this time, Pang Tong, who came from the same school as Zhuge Liang, came to join him. Liu Bei immediately sent him to serve as the county magistrate of Leiyang county. Later, Pang Tong did not sing and became a blockbuster, which won Liu Bei's trust.

In fact, Sun Quan and Cao Cao were the same in the later period. Pang Tong didn't want to go to Liu Bei at first, but he went to Jiangdong. However, he was arrogant. Sun Quan asked him what kind of talent he had and how he compared with Zhang Zhao and Zhou Yu. Pang Tong said that his knowledge was different and could not be compared, so Sun Quan drove him away.

Liu Ye, who came from later generations and was familiar with historical books, naturally restrained himself from such things. Therefore, although he had not seen this man, he still chose to be summoned.

Guan Hai, on the other hand, is alert and reaches for the handle of the knife. Since the assassin incident happened a few days ago, his alertness has been greatly improved. Everyone looks like an assassin.

However, as soon as the man came in, Liu Ye, Jia Xu, Guo Jia, Xun you and others all caught sight of him. He was eight feet tall and had a great appearance. He was really a beautiful man who was rare to see. His demeanor was clear.

The beautiful man bowed down to Liu Ye and said in a voice, "ZHUGE Liang, an idle man in the cottage, please see Duke Qin."

"You are Zhuge Liang, Zhuge Kongming?" Liu Ye is surprised. He can't believe that it is Zhuge Liang.

Maybe some people don't know the history of the Three Kingdoms, but he must know Zhuge Liang. He must have read the book "Chu Shi Biao". Zhuge Liang is the embodiment of wisdom. He helped Liu Bei grow up from a corner to a master of Jingyi. After Liu Bei's death, he left Qishan six times with "Yizhou fatigue". He was a rare genius in politics and military affairs.

I didn't expect Zhuge Liang to appear here. Liu Ye is a little curious.

But Zhuge Liang was more curious: "Liang worked in the ridge and mu, never an official, and the Duke of Qin also knew that he could only express his characters below?"

Liu Ye's face is not red, heart does not jump smile way: "ha ha, a few days ago, God and man dream, said there is a talent will come."

Zhuge Liang nodded: "I see."

After all, ancient times were feudal superstition, but there were Guan Luo and other people, and dream was also a reason. However, Guo Jia, Jia Xu, Xun you and others are curious. What is the origin of Zhuge Liang?

"I'm not talented. Dare you ask Duke Qin whether he intends to use a large number of troops against Cao bandits?" Zhuge Liang opened the door to see the mountain road.

Liu Ye said with a smile: "it's a big matter to use military force. How do you think you want to use military force against Cao thief alone?"

Zhuge Liang said in a positive way: "at present, the ambitious generation such as Yuan Shao, Yuan Shu and Dong Zhuo has been eliminated. Only Cao's bandits still have their strength and resist in a desperate position. Moreover, they arrogate the title of public and are rebellious. The Duke of Qin is the pillar of the country. Naturally, he will send troops to attack the state thieves and rectify the world! "

Liu Ye and Cao Cao are two different concepts. Liu Ye's surname is Liu, and he is the descendant of Gaozu. According to Liu Bang's regulations, Liu Ye can be the highest king, and according to his great achievements, there is nothing wrong with this. The most important thing is that he did not usurp the patriarchal system, but his ambition was not the same!

Liu Ye nodded: "yes, Cao usurped the usurper. One day, solitary nature will send troops to attack this thief, but now it is no good."

"Oh? I dare to ask Duke Qin, but what's the confusion? " Zhuge Liang bowed.

"Well, it's true. Recently, there have been wars in Hebei, Central Plains, Jingzhou and Huainan, and there are a lot of military losses. Cao Cao used his troops like a God. It may not be a matter of a day to pacify the Cao bandits. At the moment, we still need to continue to accumulate military food. When the time comes, the soldiers will press on and destroy the Cao bandits."

Jia Xu, Guo Jia and others all frown. They don't understand why Liu Ye trusts Zhuge Liang so much that he even tells the whole story about his military plan. However, Liu Ye is naturally at ease with Zhuge Liang, because he is an absolute Han minister like Xunzi.

"So it is..."

Zhuge Liang nodded clearly and said with a smile: "if it is because of this confusion, Liang may have a way to solve it."

"Oh? What's the trick? " Liu Ye asked.

"In addition to studying Confucian classics and military tactics, I and my wife, Huang, have also been involved in Mo's heavenly craftsmanship. I once developed a thing called Mu Niu Liu ma." Zhuge Liang said with a smile: "it can be used to transport grain and grass without labor. It can travel 30 miles a day."

"Oh? So amazing? " Liu Ye was immediately interested.

Thirty miles a day is nothing. You should know that the speed of marching into XiaHouYuan can reach the speed of 500 Li in three days. However, the transportation of military grain is different from that of light soldiers. The transportation of grain is very heavy, so it is difficult to transport it. We should recruit a large number of civilian workers. In ancient wars, the so-called 100000 armies and hundreds of thousands of armies were actually civilian laborers who transported grain. After all, the three armies did not move, and the grain and grass went first.It's just a matter of strength to carry a heavy load. If you do a lot of work, you will naturally eat more. Therefore, there is a saying that "if you transport grain for thousands of miles, there will be people who die of hunger". If you transport grain for a thousand miles, you will eat up all the food and grass, and you can't transport it.

Once used in military affairs, the civilian soldiers can be basically replaced. Only a small number of people need to be left to watch and guide the direction. In history, Zhuge Liang's northern expedition was to transport grain and grass with wooden oxen and flowing horses.

In fact, the problem of shortage of grain and grass often broke out in ancient times, not because there was not enough food and grass, but because the geographical imbalance. The longer the distance between transporting grain and grass from one area to another, the more wastage, because it was impossible for escorts to skip meals on the way.

Mu Niu Liu Ma is not a human being or an animal, so there is no need to eat.

"If Ziyang was here, he would be interested." Liu Ye said with a smile that Liu Ziyang invented the thunderbolt car, and he was also interested in mechanical manufacturing. In fact, there are not a few engineering technologies applied to the military these days, which also verified the same truth. War can promote the development of science and technology, and the Internet emerged after World War II.

"Since the wooden ox and the flowing horse are so magical, how about we go and see it together?" Liu Ye suggested to Zhuge Liang.
