The Warriors of the Three Kingdoms

Xu Huang was soon ordered by Liu Zheng to come in front of Liu Zheng.

"My lord, did you call me?"

"Well, after returning to Jiaozhou, I went to Uncle Han Fu's. I heard that he is worrying about the iron mine recently."

"This is indeed a rather urgent matter. We recruited a lot of troops before, but Jiaozhou didn't have such weapons to equip, so although we have a lot of soldiers and horses now, we don't have enough weapons and equipment. We must solve this problem as soon as possible. Otherwise, the soldiers and horses under us will not be able to find the corresponding combat power."

Chapter 327 Cai Yao is missing?

"It's precisely for this matter that I came to you."

"What instructions does your lord have?"

"Before looking for you, I went to Mi Fang. Now that the route from Jiaozhou to Yangzhou and Xuzhou has been opened, the time for us to trade with Xuzhou has become very short. The short-term pig iron can be settled by sea, but this is not a long-term solution. So I want to find a large iron mine and mine it.”

Liu Zheng told Xu Huang what he was thinking in his heart, and Xu Huang frowned when he heard it.

"Looking for an iron ore to mine? My lord, iron ore is not so easy to find. As far as I know, some of the iron ore found by the imperial court are in the hands of the imperial court, and almost none of them are in the hands of others. And the entire Jiaozhou Although there are some mines, the output is not enough to satisfy us, and there is not enough pig iron to be refined from the ore, so the gain outweighs the loss.”

In fact, Xu Huang had some understanding of these things, so when Liu Zheng said that he wanted to mine the mine, he immediately raised his doubts and wanted to persuade Liu Zheng.

"About this, brother Xu Huang, you don't have to worry. When I went to Xuzhou this time, I found a place overseas in Jiaozhou. I looked at the surrounding mountains and found that there must be excellent mineral deposits in that place. So we only need to dig a little, and our demand for iron ore can be alleviated."

In fact, where did Liu Zheng go to Zhuyazhou to see it? He just relied on the memory of his previous life to know that there must be rich iron ore in Zhuyazhou. When the time comes, he will go to the peaks of various places to dig. If he digs a few more times, Surely it can be found.

With Liu Zheng's words, Xu Huang still wanted to say something, but Liu Zheng was the master after all, and since Liu Zheng decided, he would not object.

"Okay, since the lord has an idea, I won't say anything more, the lord just needs to tell me what to do."

"Actually, I have nothing to do. I just want to ask you if there are any military developments recently. If not, let's mobilize some troops and go to Zhuyazhou."

Although Zhuyazhou was discovered, the current Zhuyazhou is not completely under the control of the imperial court. This place is often occupied by some indigenous people. If Liu Zheng wants to take Zhuyazhou, send Soldiers and horses to suppress is essential.

Liu Zheng now occupies Jiaozhou, Cai Mao in the north will not take the initiative to attack, and Lin Yiguo in the south has just experienced the war of destroying the country, and there is no chance to jump out to make troubles for the time being.

As for the soldiers and horses recruited by Liu Zheng, if they want to train, they will naturally have to find something to do. For training, it is naturally not possible to find a big force, but to conquer a small place like Zhuyazhou and fight against the indigenous forces, so that they have Some experience, or no problem.

"Zhu Yazhou, I heard Shi Xie's governor talk about this place. It's not far from Hepu City. It's said to be a small island with a small population. There are only 10,000+ natives?"

When Liu Zheng mentioned Zhu Yazhou, Xu Huang was still a little surprised. He seemed to have heard of this place, which is normal. Liu Zheng has been away for so long, and Xu Huang communicated with Shi Xie a lot during this time. Knowing about the Jiaozhou area, I often go to ask Shi Xie for some things.

I also know more about some geographical conditions near Jiaozhou.

Hearing Xu Huang talk about Zhu Yazhou, Liu Zheng also nodded.

"Well, that place is not far from Jiaozhou and is rich in natural resources. This time, leading people to pacify that place can give our newly recruited people training and training combat power. You don't need to go there in person, just let Wenpin Guys just bring some new troops over there."

Since Liu Zheng was thinking about training, he naturally didn't have to let Xu Huang go there in person, but let some students who graduated from the school go over and deal with it.

In this way, not only the soldiers and horses were trained, but also those future generals.

Hearing Liu Zheng's words, Xu Huang nodded immediately. After understanding Liu Zheng's thoughts, he immediately started to make arrangements.

On Liu Zheng's side, after explaining all the things that need to be done recently, he planned to find Cai Yao. He hadn't seen Cai Yao when he came back this time. On weekdays, he knew that Liu Zheng came back from the outside. He is always the first to come to find Liu Zheng.

Although it is impossible to stay with Liu Zheng all the time, every time Liu Zheng comes back, Cai Yao still actively comes to look for Liu Zheng, but this time, after coming back for a few days, she has not seen Cai Yao, which caused Liu Zheng to panic. Notice.When Liu Zheng came to Cai Yao's residence, he found that the door was closed, and there seemed to be no movement for a long time.

After knocking on the door twice, but no one responded, Liu Zheng became nervous.

Not to mention that Liu Zheng already knew in his heart that something might have happened between himself and Cai Yao that night. Even if nothing happened, it would be a big deal for Cai Yao to disappear in his own territory.

Liu Zheng hurried to Zhang Muyu's yard and shouted something to Zhang Muyu's yard.

The girl Zhang Muyu quickly walked out of the yard.

"Hey, Liu Zheng, why are you back?"

Zhang Muyu has been staying in Zhang Zhongjing's yard for the past few days, studying medical skills with Zhang Zhongjing, but he really didn't know that Liu Zheng had returned from Xuzhou.

"Mu Yu, you are at home, have you seen Cai Yao?"

Seeing Zhang Muyu's first sentence, Liu Zheng asked Cai Yao, and Zhang Muyu, who was still a little excited, immediately showed some disappointment on his face.

"No, I haven't seen Sister Cai Yao for a long time. Didn't she go to Xuzhou with you? I thought she left with you."

Zhang Muyu shook his head.

"What did you say?"

"You haven't seen Cai Yao for a long time?"

It's okay not to say what Zhang Muyu said, but Liu Zheng was shocked immediately when he said it.

"That's right, since you knocked on the door here last time, I haven't seen Sister Cai Yao anymore. I thought that Sister Cai Yao left with you. Now you come to ask me, and I want to ask you about Cai Yao's name." Where did my sister hide?"

With a swipe, Liu Zheng's expression turned ugly.

At this time, Liu Zheng had a faint feeling of not being good.

He didn't stay here for long with Zhang Muyu, but immediately turned around and left, intending to ask other people, if there is no news, Cai Yao really disappeared.

A Cai Yao may be nothing to other people, but it is different to Liu Zheng.

After all, she is already Liu Zheng's person, and Liu Zheng already regards her as his own woman in his heart.

Chapter 328 He Jin is Dead

Cai Yao disappeared, and had been missing for a month.

This made Liu Zheng very anxious, even if he summoned the generals under his command to ask about Cai Yao's situation, after all, it was Gan Ning, Xu Huang and the others who saw Cai Yao last time.

However, Gan Ning has followed Liu Zheng for a month and went to Xuzhou together. Gan Ning didn't know much about it, but Liu Zheng still let them come.

Soon, all the generals under Liu Zheng's command were present, even Huang Zhong. Liu Zheng told them about Cai Yao's disappearance. They didn't take it seriously at first, but they saw Liu Zheng's anxious expression. That's it, he got nervous.

"My lord, I didn't realize it until you mentioned it. I haven't seen Miss Cai Yao for a long time."

Xu Huang took the initiative to speak. He has been busy with Jiaozhou's armament and new army training recently, but he really hasn't seen Cai Yao much.

Liu Zheng looked at Xu Huang expectantly, but after Xu Huang said something that disappointed him, he quickly left Xu Huang's body and turned to look at other people.

"I haven't seen Miss Cai Yao for a long time."

"Yeah, the last time I saw her was during Chinese New Year, when the lord invited everyone to drink here."

"Speaking of which, I didn't see Miss Cai Yao when I was drinking last time."

Everyone talked to me, but they all acted as if they had never met Cai Yao, which made Liu Zheng even more anxious.

It's hard for a real person to disappear like this.

Just when no one said they had met Cai Yao, Xu You who was on the side saw Liu Zheng's expression getting worse and worse, so he immediately stood up.

"My lord, don't worry. It is impossible for a living person to disappear out of thin air. If he disappears, there is only one possibility."

"What is possible?"

Liu Zheng also had no idea at this time, and he was confused when he was concerned. When he saw Xu You speak, he hurriedly asked Xu You.

"That's Miss Cai Yao. She avoided seeing her on her own initiative. She should have left here by herself."

When Liu Zheng heard Xu You's words, his expression changed immediately.

However, this kind of possibility is not impossible. Before that, Liu Zheng had been wondering whether Cai Yao was taken away by someone, but he really didn't expect Cai Yao to leave on her own initiative.

After all, Cai Yao herself is in an awkward situation on Liu Zheng's side. First, she is not Liu Zheng's person. Second, Liu Zheng never restricts her freedom. It will attract everyone's attention, that's why she disappeared for a month, and everyone didn't notice her.

When Xu You said this, Liu Zheng immediately figured it out. Maybe this time, Cai Yao also left by herself.

After all, something indescribable happened with Liu Zheng that night, and she was under a lot of pressure, maybe she didn't know how to face Liu Zheng.

Thinking of this, Liu Zheng looked a little better.

If Cai Yao hadn't been kidnapped by someone, but had just left by herself and separated from him for a while, Liu Zheng could still accept this result.

However, Liu Zheng was worried about her whereabouts. Liu Zheng told everyone to pay close attention to Cai Yao's activities, and then let everyone disperse.

But everyone left, but Xu You did not.

"Mr. Xu You, why don't you leave?"

"My lord, I have something I want to tell you."

"What's the matter?"

"About the imperial court."

"The court? What's the matter with the court?"

"This time, I went to Xuzhou with my lord, and inquired about some news by accident."

Xu You immediately told Liu Zheng the news he heard in Xuzhou.

It turned out that after General He Jin recently took control of the power in the court, he had begun to rectify those opponents faintly.

After all, he used his own power to force Han Emperor Liu Bian to re-elevate the throne. This is not in line with the ancestral system. Many people who had a good impression of the little emperor Liu Xie before, and he himself had a grudge against the general He Jin The people who have joined forces are planning to deal with Emperor Han.

Among them, Zhang Rang, the ten permanent attendant who has now lost power, is included.

Zhang Rang and some other ten permanent attendants were originally eunuchs of the Han Ling Emperor, but after the little emperor came to power, these old eunuchs had no use for them and could only retreat behind the scenes. General He Jin asked them to hand over the former eunuchs. Sell ​​officials for money.

As a last resort, Zhang Rang and others could only hand it over, which made Zhang Rang and others hate He Jin even more, so Zhang Rang and others secretly carried out an assassination in the imperial city.

They wanted to kill He Jin directly, and then recommend He Miao, who was closer to Zhang, to the position.

This plan was quickly approved by a group of people who had enemies with He Jin. Finally, after more than a month of planning, Zhang Rang and the ten permanent servants found an opportunity.

During the Chinese New Year period, Zhang Rang used Empress He's verbal instructions to lure He Jin into the palace, and then what happened next was almost the same as what happened in history.

He Jin thought that he was powerful in the court now, and he never thought that the eunuchs like Zhang Rang would want to harm him, so he had nothing to fear and went straight away.

As a result, he was shot dead by Zhang Rang and other eunuchs on the spot.

As soon as He Jin died, Zhang Rang and others didn't say anything, but instead ordered He Miao to attack, Zhang Rang and He Miao completely escaped from their plan.

When He Miao first started, he was still a little surprised, and even wanted to avenge his elder brother by beheading Zhang Rang and others.

But when Zhang Rang revealed his plan, when he wanted He Miao to replace He Jin as the new general, He Miao was moved.

He Miao was at odds with He Jin. Although they were brothers, they were not brothers of the same mother. There was a gap between the brothers. Although He Jin's death made him feel a little sad, Zhang Rang and others said that He Miao will not be so sad when he can become the new general.

He quickly agreed to cooperate with Zhang Rang and others, and then successfully accepted part of He Jin's troops.

He Miao himself was a chariot general, and he also had some troops under his command. After he led people to accept He Jin's men, some of He Jin's people took advantage of the opportunity to take refuge in He Miao, but there were still many who were originally loyal to He Jin. People don't want to take refuge with He Miao at all, and are angry that He Miao and Zhang Rang are in the same boat, plotting to kill He Jin.

He Miao and He Miao launched a fierce battle.

The battle lasted for three days. He Miao united a group of people who resisted He Jin, and soon suppressed He Jin's previous troops, and successfully stole the fruits of He Jin's victory into his own hands.

Although the little emperor Liu Bian was terrified about this matter, he had no right to speak after all, and He Jin was his uncle, and He Miao was also an uncle. He was just a puppet used by the He brothers to hold power.

Chapter 329 He Miao is in charge

"You mean, that guy He Jin is dead?"

After Liu Zheng heard Xu You's words, he was obviously a little surprised. He never expected that He Jin would die.

Although it is true that He Jin in history died at the hands of Zhang Rang and other eunuchs, Liu Zheng's current Three Kingdoms world is completely different from that in history.

He Jin regained power and had the potential to become the second Huo Guang, but he never thought that he could not escape his fate and died in the hands of Zhang Rang.

"Well, He Jin died. Just seven days ago, when we were leaving, I heard from some literati. I guess it won't be long before your secret work, my lord, will bring the news back."

"Hey, I can't figure out that this guy He Jin still can't escape the fate of dying at the hands of the eunuch, but it's fine if he dies, otherwise, if he doesn't die, he will always think about me as an enemy, which is also a threat to me."

"Although He Jin is dead, when He Miao takes power and takes control of the court, I'm afraid the court will be more peaceful in the future. If the court is too peaceful, it will not be very beneficial to us."

Xu You was just worried that the court would slow down and deal with Liu Zheng with all its strength, and Liu Zheng would have some difficulty.

But after Liu Zheng heard Xu You's words, he shook his head.

"Mr. Xu You, don't worry, you may be worrying for nothing. Let me tell you, after He Miao became a general, not only will the court not be stabilized, but the civil and military officials of the court will become more and more nervous." Difficult to survive."

"Why is this?"

Xu You didn't understand why Liu Zheng would say such a thing.

"Why? The dragon slayer will eventually become a dragon."

"Dragon slaying warriors will eventually become dragons?"

Xu You frowned, looking at Liu Zheng's inexplicable words, for a moment he really didn't understand what Liu Zheng said.
