Chapter 243 - Brother Zhuge Become An Official (1/2)
Chapter 243 – Brother Zhuge Becoan itsthis ti and Urban Arh they are yet to reach their before elite status, they benefited a lot fro created, had brought hi also had prepared defenders for Gushi+, Anfeng, Hefei and Lujiang 12,000 Gan Ning naval units were sent back toward Lujiang Liu Mang needed divide the naval units into two division of naval units, one in Shouchun, one in Lujiang as well docks and repair shops and construct theether as soon as possible
Those who entered the ar selected is around 8,000 people Those who can enter Black Flag and Urban Ar their nu 5,000 people were co, but their body is healthy and strong If not, how can they walk so far? So, Liu Mang takes theistrates of each Gushi+, Anfeng, Hefei and Lujiang to guard those cities The others was assigned as garrison troops as field units already had Urban Ar also pulled out 200 troops of heavy cavalries, although Liu Mang’s subordinates all not riding white horses, their heavy ar also ordered his ht, to create one set of Chang Pao (Olden times chinese male robe) for all of them to use
And their co has yet to give a squadron name for those 200 heavy cavalries, however since Zhao Yun is the one who is leading it, its nah their number is much less than what Zhao Yun used to lead To re his armaments and production of heavy ar cavalries is warhorse Hebei region is iain If one wants to obtain warhorse, there are only tays One, is by traversing through Jiangdong and buy horse frooes to Liang Province to buy horse Both of the, is 100 not a viable option as when Jiangdong army saw Lu Bu army merchant shi+ps or warshi+ps, they will sink it as soon as possible Although Liu Biao of Jing Province is still on ah Jing Province? It will surely confiscated by Liu Biao’s custo horse fro’s territory, Zhang Xiu of Fort Wan’s territory for them to reach Shouchun and they also need to pass Runan The journey will be arduous
Another way to obtain warhorse, is to ht!!! Thealready passed and theirseason already ended!!! So, this year is iive birth to foals Can only wait for the next spring forthat method, they also need to prepare a substitute for those warhorse, otherhen they give birth to foals, what ride is available to those Bing Province Wolf Cavalry?
Since Liu Mang publicized job ads, all warlords interest on hi’s job ads offended nobles in this very nation Not totheir oar here and there with theProvince and Sun Ce of Jiangdong, their fire can even be seen froot the upper hand again That is because in Sun Ce army appeared a capable person He solely transformed the warshi+p anatomy and durability He used twice of the required lumber in order to make a warshi+p, he also covered the surface of the warshi+p inits defense while adding weight, so as not to tumble the shi+p Also even at the end of Eastern Han Dynasty, warshi+p were built atertight compartments and it made the warshi+p extremely durable Even if they were riddled with arrow, even if they were blazed with fire, even if the hull was shot through, as long as the watertight compartment is not compromised, the warshi+p will not sink Such results can be seen when Liu Biao of Jing Province and Sun Ce are doing naval battle When Liu Biao’s navy was shot, they sink almost ih the surface daht compartment, it will not sink into the water Sun Ce army can just tow them back to the dock, order artisans to repair the shi+ps, resupply the shi+p with crews and it will be back again for action
On the contrary of Sun Ce’s advantage, Jing Province naval units’ casualties is a little heavy as shi+p repairing cost isanother shi+p Jing Province will have to source a lot ofenough with da lost again and again And right now Jiangdong navy is starting to approach Sanjiangkou If Sanjiangkou were lost as well, Jing Province navy will return to the state when they still don’t have ballistae
Jiangdong has been suppressing lot of anger They spent a lot ofof Lu Bu ar a lot of ballistae in order to catch Jing Province off guard They even gave several thousand artisans, along with a lot of precious metals and jewelries in order Lu Bu ar Province in one ’s warshi+p with ballistae
However, who knows Liu Mang played them both He did not sell the blueprint, he sold the ballistae along with the warshi+p It is really unexpected that they are the one ere caught off guard by Jing Province If not for Zhou Yu’s decisive action, having obtained infor already wiped out all of thee, Zhou Yu still lost in his expedition and retreated, their casualties a’s fleet wiped out And now, since Sun Ce of Jiangdong did not dare to aggravate Lu Bu arer Sun Ce, Taishi+ Ci, Zhou Yu, Lu Su all pulled out in order to do battle with Liu Biao Their already nificent with addition of the rear er brother, Sun Quan
Jing Province then also prepared their own roster with Wen Ping as their general, supported by Huang Zu Regarding Kuai bros, even though they are first-class adviser, they don’t have the ability toProvince Navy is lacking one of crucial component, but suddenly the problem is suddenly solved as when Liu Biao is still stuure that joined the Jing Province Ar, Taoist naon He is not yet entered into office, but his reputation is very big!!! SoDragon and Fledgling Phoenix shall conquer this nation!!! That saying erated, but it is the ancient’s way of proe Liang’s reputation is so great, when he entered Jing Province Ar to obtain talented people for Jing Province for far too long In this chaos ti Province is a haven, therefore many famous scholars and talented people, such person Master Si Gong (Lord Pang) Liu Biao of Jing Province had visited the that these people will beco Province But Liu Biao always returned e to them, a person like Liu Biao who only seek to protect his inheritance is not worth their service So, Liu Biao can only have his heart broken by those people
And now Zhuge Liang is conducting a contradictory act toward Master Shuijing He actually took up official post in Jing Province A person this talented is joining Jing Provincein his senility, maybe just maybe these talented people will eventually join Liu Biao When Zhuge Liang joined Liu Biao’s arone loopy!!! Zhuge Liang just stay silent and cal this news, he is shocked for quite so joins Liu Biao aryang, instead he insisted to Liu Biao that heZu protecting Jiangxia as the situation is no good Their casualties is too high, Wen Ping hired soldiers out of 70,000 troops were thinned out to less than 50,000 troops Their warshi+ps losses are also suffered serious daive the Province Liu Biao also had did the worst case scenario If Jiangxia is to be lost, all of the, Wulin and Chibi and ’s request to be sent to the front, of course Liu Biao not agree at the beginning He is afraid Zhuge Liang is harin ill be destroyed co probably will criticize hi hi and Pang Gong (Lord Pang) paid hi want to work for Inspector of Jing Province Liu Biao, in order to protect his ho, Jing Province So Jing Province can be considered second ho Yun and other nobles who heard Zhuge Liang’s request all in once voice supporting his decision They all wanted this Zhuge Liang to go to the front Being a governor of Xiangyang is a very big position Xiangyang is the wealthiest city out of all Jing Province cities Alltheir trading there Thatto half of Jing Province whole revenue So, being a governor of Xiangyang is such a pretty prosperous position, and Cai Mao and the others will not let anyone take that position except for them The Kuai brothers are also acquaintated ith Master Shuijing and Lord Pang and they also want to see what kind of person Master Shuijing’s protege is However, regarding the position governor of Xiangyang, both of them don’t want the position as well, but they also don’t want outsider to be governor of Xiangyang So, with everyone’s effort, Zhuge Liang s 50,000 troops His influence is further expanded when Liu Biao wrote a letter saying “Everythingaction!!!” Cutting Wen Ping rights severely as everythingZu of Jiangxia Although Jiangxia is his domain but that place is almost exhausted to the extent due to constant battles that protecting it is xia is lost So now, he returned in shaest clans in Jing Province, Liu Biao gave Lingling Co Co Zu Even Huang Zu also was given 1,000 personal troops in order for hi his brow In his hand, there is the letter from Liu Biao which content is the one written above but with addition that Zhuge Liang is sent to be Wen Ping’s assistant Wen Ping knows about Zhuge Liang of Nanyang, the Sleeping Dragon Although Wen Ping respected his talent, but he would rather keep this people off distance He knows that this person had talent and fahout the land, but nobody knows his real situation and Wen Ping is not one to speculate a person Now it is different, Zhuge Kong has took up an office, and becoe Liang’s assistant, therefore eneral, an assistant toward a newcoeneral in Jing Province but he always is Huang Zu’s subordinate However, Huang Zu only co 50,000 troops With this comparison, it is safe to say that the decision- Province, Wen Ping should be the coht? Unfortunately not He didn’t have real power before, he don’t have power now, he is just waiting for Zhuge Liang to take over his leadershi+p baton (TN: Poor Wen Ping, you are mistreated but still a loyal SOB, if I were you, I will slit Huang Zu’s throat and take co Province? The blacked-face person is stunned He is currently sitting inside Runan Govern had a bet to serve their oise lord together and after several years, they would ain once more to compare whose lord is the better one He had traveled to meet his wise lord and finally show his face to this nation Who had ever expected that his wise lord give hi’s wise lord is about to do battle, so he expect to fight against his old friend, so he done a very careful preparation to fight a good battle, but whoever thought that this event co? The blacked-face h
What is Zhuge Liang really thinking? He didn’t know that Kong after Battle of Wancheng, but because of that job advertiseed direction Why, you ask? The reason it is because the job advertiseood for short ter terh its profit Offending nobles is never a good thing, as they are influential and respected over their regions An obvious exa it Liu clan even though it is the royalty, he still need to appease other nobles in order to be accepted in Jing Province At that tier sister in order to appease other nobles as they are the biggest ones in Jing Province, with that act alone, he is able to grip tightly on his rule of Jing Province Liu Mang, who had offended nobles with his job advertiseet nobles’ support at all They will never help Liu Mang to obtain this nation, on the contrary they will be very glad to destroy hiress even an inch, he will face arduous challenge Those nobles can be very useful, because every tiion, those nobles will quickly lend their money and resources and even help to convince co had turned into one of eate those nobles, he can only do two things either to kill them all or be killed himself, if he continue this path (TN: The path taken by Daenerys Targaryen now) If Liu Mang is not the warlord favored by Zhuge Liang, he will not do anything to help hi decided to help him from shadows, but his help is too s Province in order to help hiift for Liu Mang
While thinking about that, suddenly Kong Co need to take land route and go directly Sanjiangkou After passing through quite a distance, finally Kongkou caeneral and hisand thought Is this person really Wen Ping?! Wen Ping’s facial structure is very handsome very eneral is cenified
Is this person Zhuge Kong While Kong his brow It is because Zhuge Liang is too young Can this little squirt really the military adviser? He’s not even yet 20 years old!!! Can he decide the life and death of this ararded strength as a true value in co who is not yet reach 20 years old, his lord regarded his strength as very high This is the saht be as big as Zhao Kuo’s own reputation if he lived during Spring and Autumn Period Zhao Kuo was known in every corner of Zhao Country capital, and even King of Zhao himself is very interested of him and it is because Zhao Kuo is really talented in military tactics He had studied the his own father Zhao She in tery that even surpassed Zhuge Liang in Jing Province, however his end is not good, as being good in stratageood in debate, cannot prove that he is also good in real co and his Zhao countrymen of 200,000 souls were buried alive by General Baiqi and Zhao Country is no , by being a ht as well just surrender to Jiangdong!!! But better than captured, better to die with honor, fighting to the end While Wen Ping is still thinking, Zhuge Liang opened up his voice first “General Wen Ping!!! Zhuge Liang of Nanyang paid his respect to general!!! All of people said that general possessed the prowess of General Meng Tian now that Liang has seen, it seees known for his heroics act by defeating Xiongnu)
Wen Ping is a co, he still cannot abandon hiscourtesy It is also in order to get close to Wen Ping and also to show that he is inexperienced With this, Kong’s relationshi+p will inevitably be har praised hly!!! This old official just perfor assaulted by sords by Zhuge Liang e Liang and his abilities, they are one people no since Sanjiangkou is still under Jing Province navy units, of course their internal political weather will be a subject of observation by Jiangdong’s scouts And now, if there is any discord a them, they will not last, for the situation is really dire now
