The flames of war in the Yangtze River Water Camp were soaring to the sky. The black Yangzhou Army and the green Jingzhou Army were intertwined.
"Military advisor, this, this, this!" The deputy general looked at the scene in front of him and felt that he was stupid. Although the Jingzhou Army occupied half of the Yangtze River Bandits, they were using the tactic of adding fuel to the enemy's forces.
The terrain of the Yangtze River Bandits was limited. It was impossible for tens of thousands of troops to enter at once. Therefore, they could only throw in thousands of troops. This tactic of adding fuel to the enemy's forces was a taboo.
The deputy general wanted to dissuade Liu Pan, but when he saw Liu Pan's ferocious expression, he gave up the idea. It was not that he was stupid, but Liu Pan was crazy. Batch after batch of Jingzhou Army were thrown into the Yangtze River Bandits. This made Lü Bu and the others in the Yangtze River Bandits confused.
Who was the commander of the Jingzhou Army? They actually made such a stupid move. The Yangtze River Bandits' terrain was only so big. The two armies intertwined. Although the Bingzhou Wolf Cavalry was small in number, they were all wearing heavy armor. The Jingzhou Army on the other hand was wearing rattan armor or wooden armor. In this way, they could float in the water and not sink to the bottom of the river like iron armor. Therefore, the Bingzhou Wolf Cavalry was winning by fighting in the Yangtze River Bandits.
"They want to pin us down?" Lü Bu looked at the enemy's tactic of adding fuel to the enemy's forces. The tactic of adding fuel to the enemy's forces could only be used in two situations. The first was that those who did not understand the art of war were simply courting death. This was because their originally powerful forces were scattered and could only be defeated by the enemy one by one. The other was to pin down the enemy and cover their retreat.
For example, when Liu Bei was chased out of Xuzhou by Cao Cao, he used the tactic of adding fuel to the enemy's forces. He used wave after wave to block Cao Cao's army and pin down the enemy so that the enemy could not fully pursue Liu Bei's main force. They could only deal with these small forces first.
The commander of the Jingzhou army did not seem like someone who did not understand military affairs. Otherwise, he would not have used a pincer attack by land and water. From the looks of it, there was only one possibility left. Was he trying to pin down the Bingzhou Wolf Cavalry?
"En?" Lü Bu frowned. Could it be that Jingzhou had other plans?
"Where is Wang Kui?" Lü Bu shouted to his subordinates.
"This general is here!" A sturdy man came forward and cupped his fist towards Lü Bu.
"Wang Kui, take five hundred elite cavalrymen with you, and patrol the Yangtze River with two horses each. Make sure that the area within a hundred li radius of the Yangtze River Stronghold is thoroughly investigated! Don't miss any trace of the enemy! " Lü Bu became more cautious. Very quickly, the 500 heavy cavalry mounted their warhorses and left the Yangtze River Stronghold, heading towards the Yangtze River.
"Kill, kill, kill! You must pin them down! If I can't get Xinye, I can't get Yangzhou either! " Liu Pan's eyes turned red. Out of the fifty thousand soldiers, only twenty thousand remained. However, Liu Pan did not give up. He wanted to pin down Lü Bu. He believed that Lü Bu's Bingzhou Wolf Cavalry had come to Xinye to quell the rebellion there. Lü Bu wanted to deal with Liu Pan first before moving on to Xinye. Therefore, Liu Pan wanted to delay Lü Bu's army so that it would be difficult for them to reinforce Xinye. He wanted to wait for the rebels to turn Xinye into a wasteland.
"General!" Very quickly, Wang Kui returned while Lü Bu was still puzzled.
"How is it, Wang Kui?" Lü Bu asked Wang Kui.
"General, we have already scouted the area within a fifty li radius. There are no traces of the enemy!" Wang Kui reported. Five hundred elite cavalrymen under his command were searching around without stopping, but they didn't find any enemies.
"Did you search carefully?" Lü Bu asked again.
"General, we have already scouted every blade of grass and tree within a fifty li radius!" Wang Kui continued.
"That's strange!" Lü Bu was really confused. Why did Jingzhou do this? Were they courting death?
Lü Bu did not understand. "Wang Kui, expand the search area!" Wang Kui left again.
"Pass down my orders. Be careful and be on guard. Fight steadily!" Lü Bu did not understand. Naturally, he had to be careful.
The sky quickly darkened. Yangzhou and Jingzhou also began to hide their flags.
"Military Advisor, it's dark!" The deputy general at the side finally managed to hold on until the sky turned dark. Once the sky turned dark, it wasn't like the bright lights of modern times. Once the sky turned dark, unless the moon was good and there were no clouds for thousands of miles, it would be pitch black. One couldn't even see one's own fingers if they stretched out their hands.
"It's dark? Then let's sound the drums! "Liu Pan didn't insist. The sky was already dark. Unless it was a sneak attack, they wouldn't fight at night.
"Yes, yes!" When the deputy general heard that Liu Pan was going to beat the gong to withdraw the troops, he felt much more at ease. As the gong sounded, the troops of Jing Province's troops began to retreat from the Yangtze River Stronghold one after another.
The deputy general's heart was bleeding. Fifty thousand soldiers. Although they were new soldiers, they had been trained for a few months. There were still more than ten thousand Wuling elites. Now, it would be good if twenty thousand of the fifty thousand soldiers returned. Many of them were seriously injured and would not be able to fight in the future. Even the Wuling elites were left with less than three thousand people. The deputy general wanted to cry but had no tears.
Liu Pan looked at the reports and lowered his head in silence. His face was very gloomy. The losses in this battle were too great. However, when Liu Pan thought about how they had lost tens of thousands of soldiers while Yangzhou had lost a bustling city, he couldn't help but smile.
"It's only thirty thousand soldiers. Our Jing Province is rich. Without thirty thousand soldiers, I will go and recruit another thirty thousand. Fifty thousand to a hundred thousand! Yangzhou lost Xinye and turned it into a wasteland. Haha, let's see how Yangzhou will continue to fight with us! " Liu Pan's eyes lit up. Exchanging thirty thousand soldiers for a prosperous city was definitely a good deal for him. Moreover, if the scale of the rebels increased and spread to the other cities in Yangzhou, then it would be a great deal for him.
The deputy general also nodded. He also admired Liu Pan. If it was him, he would not be willing to use thirty thousand soldiers. In other words, he did not have the courage. However, Liu Pan was different. He did have the courage. He did not want to lose his child, but he did not want to lose the wolf.
"Military Advisor is indeed experienced in scheming. Our Jing Province's wealth is not something Yangzhou can compare to. Thirty thousand soldiers can be recruited in a few months. However, if Yangzhou loses Xinye, then it will be a great loss! Furthermore, if Yangzhou wants to regain Xinye, then they will have to lose more soldiers. It's a pity that even if they manage to take down Xinye City, it will still be a wasteland! "The lieutenant nodded and praised. Liu Pan accepted the acknowledgment of his subordinates with a smile.
"Report! There's a report from Xinye!" "There's a report from Xinye."
"A report from Xinye?" Liu Pan stared blankly for a moment. Wasn't the gates of Xinye City already closed? Weren't the rebels preparing to attack Yangzhou's army in Xinye City? Why would there be a report from Xinye City?
Could it be? A hint of joy appeared on Liu Pan's face. To be able to deliver information from Xinye, which was tightly shut, meant that only his own people could do it. Could it be that this informant had already made contact with the leader of the rebels in Xinye? The leader of the rebel army wanted to join hands with Jing Province.
"Congratulations, General. If the leader of Xinye's Revolutionary Army can join forces with our Jingzhou, or even join our Jingzhou, then it will only be a matter of time before we recover our Jingzhou and march into the Central Plains!" Liu Pan did not know if he could advance into the Central Plains. However, he knew that if he could contact the rebels, then Yangzhou would suffer even more losses. The enemy of my enemy is my friend. Liu Pan understood that. The more ferocious the rebels were, the more advantageous it would be for Jing Province. Yangzhou would definitely send a large number of troops to suppress them. At that time, the number of troops in Jiangxia would naturally decrease. At that time, it would be the best time to recover Jiangxia and Jiangling.
Liu Pan smiled as he opened the letter in his hand. However, the moment he opened the letter, the smile on his face froze.
"Military … Military Advisor? What's wrong? Could it be that the leader of the rebels is greedy? Or is he not willing to cooperate with us? "The Deputy General asked as he observed Liu Pan's expression.
Liu Pan did not reply. The Deputy General glanced at the letter from the corner of his eyes. When he saw it, he turned pale with fright. The report stated that there was no rebel army. It was all a farce by the Yangzhou army. The leader of the rebel army was none other than the master of Yangzhou, Liu Mang, Liu Hanyang. That was why the city gate was opened after it was closed. This was also why Lü Bu's Bingzhou Wolf Cavalry was able to return so quickly.
The Deputy General was stunned. If what was written in the letter was true, then they did not hesitate to use the tactic of adding fuel to the fire. They did not hesitate to lose more than 30,000 soldiers in exchange for a joke? Or rather, it was a small misunderstanding.
The officers at the side also had a strange expression on their faces.
"Liu Mang, you, you, you, you!" Liu Pan was more aggrieved than ever. He had schemed and exhausted his troops but in the end, he became a joke. Liu Pan's vision immediately turned black.
"Military Advisor, Military Advisor!" Very quickly, someone came up to hold Liu Pan to prevent him from fainting.
"Let's go. We will retreat back to Xiangyang!" Liu Pan resisted the urge to faint and ordered the deputy general beside him.
"Yes!" The Deputy General nodded.
"Also, let me tell you. Don't mention this to anyone else. Otherwise, I will let you know that I, Liu Pan, am not someone to be trifled with!" Liu Pan's eyes sparkled as he said to the captains under him.
"Yes, yes, yes!" All the captains nodded their heads in fear. They had been tricked, no! It should be said that they had been fooled by themselves. Liu Pan naturally did not want anyone to know about such a big joke.
The Jingzhou army headed towards Xiangyang on the other side of the Yangtze River.
It started strong but ended weak. Lü Bu in the Yangtze River Stronghold knew that Liu Pan had retreated. He was also confused and carefully arranged for people to patrol day and night. On the third day, Hao Shao's 5,000 soldiers returned to the Yangtze River Stronghold. Lü Bu then left with the Bingzhou Wolf Cavalry.
This time, the Bingzhou Wolf Cavalry's target was naturally Yangzhou's capital, Shouchun. Along the way, there were three more people. One was Zhou Cang, one was Guan Hai, and the last one was His Highness, the King Of Shu.
When Lü Bu returned to Xinye, the first thing he did was to ask Liu Mang to go back with him. Liu Mang wanted to refuse, but when he saw the cold expression on Lü Bu's face, he swallowed his words.
As for the hundreds of thousands of people in Xinye, Xu Shu also transferred officials from other counties to settle them down. Originally, Liu Mang planned to only punish the main evildoer of the Guo Family. However, after being pointed out by the people, it was revealed that there was no good person in the Guo Family. Two days ago, Guo Yi's son had kidnapped a woman and even killed her husband. If it was not for Guo Yi's support, he would have already been imprisoned.
Guo Yi's mother, a kind mother, was a wastrel. This kind mother in Guo Yi's heart became a demoness in front of outsiders.
The other family members of the husband of the woman that Guo Yi's son killed wanted to continue to sue the Guo Family, but they were all silenced by the vicious old woman.
Therefore, Liu Mang did not spare anyone from the Guo Family. Liu Mang even personally killed the Guo Family's grandson in front of the Guo Family's old vicious woman and placed the heads of the Guo Family's grandson and son in front of her.
Liu Mang could only deal with the Guo Family due to the lack of time. As for the other small fries, he left them to others. Liu Mang was not afraid of these fleas in Xinye, because Wei Yan's 5000 Yi Yang Soldiers were already stationed in the city.
"Father-in-law, can you stop first?" Liu Mang rode on his horse and shouted to Lü Bu.
"What's wrong?" Lü Bu asked.
"I, I want to go to the toilet!" Liu Mang looked at Lü Bu shyly.
"Big one, small one!" Lü Bu asked.
"Small one!"
"Small one will be more direct on horseback!" Lü Bu did not even look at Liu Mang.
"Then big one!"
"Big one, then endure it. Shouchun is just a few dozen li away!" Lü Bu continued.
"But I can't endure it anymore!"
"You can't endure it anymore?" Lü Bu frowned and waved his hand. The 5000 Bingzhou Wolf Cavalry quickly stopped. "You have an incense's worth of time. If it's longer than that, do as you deem fit!" Lü Bu said to Liu Mang.
"Haha!" Liu Mang laughed awkwardly and quickly headed towards the bushes.
"What has your Lord been eating these few days? Has he eaten something bad? "Lü Bu rode on his horse and asked Guan Hai and Zhou Cang.
"No, our Lord has been eating the same thing as us!" Zhou Cang licked his lips as he spoke.
"Then why did it happen so many times?" Lü Bu snorted. This Liu Mang, Liu Hanyang, and Liu Mang had called him that many times along the way.
"Maybe he's afraid …" Zhou Cang was about to tell the truth when Guan Hai interrupted, "Maybe he's not acclimatized yet!"
"An incense's worth of time is up! Wang Kui, send someone to invite our King Of Shu out! "Lü Bu said to Wang Kui.
"Yes!"
"He's coming, he's coming!" Without waiting for Wang Kui to do anything, Liu Mang walked out of the bushes and mounted his horse. His expression was not good, as if he was sick. Liu Mang was indeed sick, but the illness was not in his body but in his heart. The closer they got to Shouchun, the more serious his illness became. Looking at the tall city in the distance, Liu Mang's calves trembled even more.
"Shouchun is just ahead!" Liu Mang could not help but swallow his saliva.
When they were a few miles away from Shouchun, Guan Hai pointed to the pipeline at the edge of the city. "My Lord, look over there!" Was there an ambush?
How could there be an ambush near Shouchun? Lü Bu picked up his binoculars and looked over. After learning that Liu Mang was in Xinye, Lü Bu sent a message to Shouchun. "Let's go, your civil and military officials are here to welcome you!"
Lü Bu asked Wang Kui to lead the Bingzhou Wolf Cavalry to set up camp in Shouchun while he led Liu Mang and the others towards the pavilion.
As he walked closer, Liu Mang saw that it was indeed his Shouchun civil and military officials. The person in front was none other than Xu Shu, Xu Yuanzhi. On his left was a scribe. Liu Mang thought for a moment but did not recognize him. He should be a talent that Xu Shu recruited while Liu Mang was away. On Xu Shu's right was Liu Ye, Liu Ziyang, Huang Zhong, Cheng Yu, Huang Xu, and the others.
Liu Mang looked at the crowd and did not know what to say.
Fortunately, when Xu Shu and the others saw Liu Mang, they immediately knelt down and said, "We respectfully welcome the return of Your Highness, King Shu!"
"Get up, get up!" Liu Mang quickly got off his horse and walked towards Xu Shu and the others. Liu Mang asked them to rise, but they did not. Instead, Liu Mang went forward to support Xu Shu. Only then did Xu Shu get up. Xu Shu was the number one civil official in Yangzhou. Only when Xu Shu got up did they dare to move.
"Yuanzhi, long time no see. You've worked hard!" Liu Mang said to Xu Shu as he supported him. In the whole of Yangzhou, Xu Shu was in charge of everything, from the deployment of troops and horses to the transportation of goods and materials. It was better now. In the past, when Yangzhou lacked talents, Xu Shu was so busy that his head and feet could not leave the ground.
"It's not hard, it's not hard. Shu is just doing my duty. As a subject, I can't share the Lord's burden and let the Lord take the risk. This is Xu Shu's fault. Milord, please punish me!" Xu Shu knelt down again. When Liu Mang left Yangzhou, he did not want to be the Lord of Yangzhou. Instead, he went to Jingzhou as a guest. It was because Yangzhou lacked provisions. Liu Mang had no choice but to do so.
One must know that on the surface, he was going to be a guest. In reality, he was going to be a hostage. Liu Mang was the Lord of Yangzhou. If he went to Jingzhou as a hostage, where would the people of Yangzhou put their face?
Therefore, Xu Shu blamed himself day and night. He felt that as a top strategist under Liu Mang, he could not share the Lord's burden and instead let the Lord take the risk. This was Xu Shu's dereliction of duty. In addition, after Liu Mang disappeared, Xu Shu even thought of breaking through Jingzhou to avenge Liu Mang after receiving the news of Liu Mang's death. Afterwards, he would sacrifice himself for his Lord.
"Liu Mang, if you want to punish someone who has worked so hard for me, Liu Mang, then aren't you treating me, Liu Mang, as a fatuous ruler?" Liu Mang said to Xu Shu with a smile. Xu Shu and Liu Mang looked at each other and smiled. The two of them already had a tacit understanding.
"Ziyang, how is your industrial zone?" Liu Mang asked Liu Ye who was beside him.
"Milord, Ziyang was unable to complete Milord's task. Ziyang was able to decipher ten to twenty percent of the books Milord left behind. I did not let Milord down!" Liu Ye also half knelt down. His face was filled with shame.
"Ten to twenty percent?" Liu Mang listened to Liu Ye's words. This Liu Ye, Liu Ziyang, was not here to ask for forgiveness. This was completely asking for credit! The books that Liu Mang brought back were things from the first and second industrial revolutions. If he could understand them all, then Liu Mang's Yangzhou would be a thousand years more advanced. Even guns and cannons could be manufactured.
Ten to twenty percent was not a small number. Liu Mang knew that ten to twenty percent was at least a hundred or two hundred years more advanced.
"Milord, look at the cement road and the walls of Shouchun. These are all due to Ziyang's efforts!" Xu Shu spoke up for Liu Ye.
"Cement has already been mass-produced?"
"Most of this is leftover cement. This is why we used it on the roads!" Liu Ye looked at Liu Mang. He was afraid that Liu Mang would punish him. This was because the price of cement was still very high. Yangzhou had also sold a lot of it. After the cement was sold, the nobles would use it to build their own houses. Houses built with cement were fast and convenient. In the past, houses were built with stones. Building a house would take half a year. Now, with cement, it was much easier and faster.
Although some people thought of using cement to strengthen the city walls, the price was too expensive. They could not build it themselves. Using cement to strengthen the city walls could withstand the attacks of catapults. Yangzhou raised the price of lime. A city wall was not a small thing. It was not something that could be built with just one or two packs of lime. It required a huge amount of cement. A city wall was already so expensive, not to mention the many cities under the nobles.
Yangzhou was able to use cement to pave the roads because Yangzhou produced cement themselves. For Yangzhou, the value of cement was only the wages. The other materials and craftsmanship were all purchased locally. Therefore, other states used expensive cement to pave their houses. Using cement to pave their houses would make people proud. This meant that they were rich and could use cement to pave their houses. However, Yangzhou was using this expensive cement to pave their roads. If the cement used to pave the roads was sold, it would be worth tens of thousands of gold.
"If you want to get rich, you have to pave the roads first. Ziyang, you have done another good deed!" Liu Mang did not have any intention of punishing Liu Ye. He even praised Liu Ye. With the development of transportation, there would be more merchants coming and going. Moreover, the more convenient the transportation, the lower the cost of goods. Take Jing Province for example. The reason why it was rich was because it had developed water routes. The reason why the north was rich was also because of the construction of roads in the central plains of the north for dozens of generations of Han Emperors. If transportation was inconvenient, even going to the capital city would be a problem. How would people come?
"If you want to get rich, you have to pave the roads first?" The young scholar beside Xu Shu muttered to himself.
Liu Mang also saw this person. This young scholar might be a talent that Xu Shu had recruited. He was not old, but he had a kind of otherworldly banner. He even held a feather fan in his hand. It was winter now, could it be that he wanted to fan himself?
"Could it be that this person wants to learn from Zhuge Liang?" Liu Mang was in a good mood. He smiled and teased the young scholar beside Xu Shu. He hoped that Xu Shu would introduce this scholar to him.
"Zhuge Liang?" The young scholar froze for a moment. Xu Shu and Liu Ye were also stunned.
Liu Mang reacted. This feather fan was indeed a symbol of Zhuge Liang. It was the image of a modern person. This was the era of the Three Kingdoms. Zhuge Liang's reputation might not even be as great as Xu Shu's. How would they know?
Liu Mang was thinking of an excuse to explain his slip of the tongue. He did not expect this young scholar to speak, "Your Highness, how do you know about Zhuge Liang?"
"En?" Liu Mang did not understand. Could it be that Zhuge Liang was so famous now? "Zhuge Liang, Kongming. People say that the one who obtains the Hidden Dragon can bring peace to the world."
"Your Highness is overpraising!" The young scholar suddenly became modest. This made Liu Mang even more confused. I am praising Zhuge Liang. What does it have to do with you? Why are you being modest?
"Since the Lord knows Kongming, then there is no need for me to introduce him!" Xu Shu smiled and said.
"Kongming?"
"Zhuge Liang from Langye greets Your Highness the King Of Shu!" The young man suddenly knelt down, making Liu Mang stunned.
"You, you, you said that you are called Zhuge Liang? Kongming? "
"Yes!"
"Isn't Zhuge Liang in Jingzhou?" Liu Mang was even more confused. Nanyang's Zhuge Lu is located at the Cloud Pavilion of Sichuan. This Zhuge Liang should be inside the Zhuge Lu waiting for Escapist Liu to visit his thatched cottage three times. How could he appear in Yangzhou and even in front of Liu Mang?
Originally, Liu Mang was thinking of sending someone to find Zhuge Liang and persuade him to join the Yangzhou army. If he joined, then he would bring him back. If he did not join, then Liu Mang even had the idea of killing Zhuge Liang. But who would have thought that Zhuge Liang would actually appear in front of him.
"My Lord, Kongming has already abandoned the dark and joined our Yangzhou!" Xu Shu explained.
From Xu Shu's words, Liu Mang came to know that Zhuge Liang had already seen him when he was in Langye, Xu Province. Liu Mang's unintentional recitation of the common people's suffering, the common people's suffering, the common people's suffering, the common people's suffering, the evildoer of the Three Kingdoms.
Later, Zhuge Liang joined the Jingzhou army and commanded the Jiangxia Navy. On the Yangtze River, by sowing dissension, he burned the Jiangdong Army and the Jingzhou Army. Finally, he took the Jiangxia Army to Yangzhou.
"This, this, this!" If Liu Mang did not see the shy smile of this young man in front of him, he would never imagine that this person could actually destroy 100,000 soldiers.
In addition to being shocked, Liu Mang also felt a kind of ecstasy. Zhuge Liang, Zhuge Kongming. Although this person is said to be a legend in history, it is undeniable that this person's ability is very strong. Otherwise, Liu Bei and Liu Bei would not have entrusted Liu Mang's orphan to him.
Now, such a monstrous character actually came to Yangzhou and became a citizen of Yangzhou. How could Liu Mang not be excited?
"Ha ha ha ha, Kongming, even 100,000 soldiers!" Liu Mang affectionately pulled Zhuge Liang's hand. He did not care about anything like men.
"Old General Huang, Chengyu, Huang Xu!" Liu Mang turned his head towards Huang Zhong. There were a few more wrinkles on Huang Zhong's face. It could be seen that Old Huang Zhong was working very hard for Yangzhou. Although it was hard, Liu Mang could still see the knowing smile on Huang Zhong's face.
People can smile, but this smile is only on the surface. The smile on the surface is a fake smile. For example, when Liu Mang was in Jingzhou, he smiled apologetically, but it was all on the surface.
On the other hand, Huang Zhong's smile was a genuine smile. It could be seen that although Old General Huang was tired, he was still very satisfied with his current life. This was because Huang She represented Huang Zhong's everything. He was Huang Zhong's second life. On the other hand, Liu Mang was the one who let Huang Xu live. How could Huang Zhong not smile?
"What are you dawdling for? It's better to go to the city and discuss other things!" Lü Bu came over and said to Liu Mang. The others also saluted Lü Bu. Lü Bu nodded.
"Yes, it's windy outside. Let's go into the city!" Liu Mang walked in front. He was the Lord of Yangzhou. Even Lü Bu couldn't walk in front of Liu Mang. Otherwise, the civil and military officials of Shouchun wouldn't agree.
Walking in Shouchun, Liu Mang couldn't help but nod. He could see that Xu Shu had put in a lot of effort. When Liu Mang came to Shouchun, nine out of ten rooms were empty. Many of the houses were uneven and the planning was a mess.
But now, Shouchun had changed a lot. The houses were neatly planned. Many of the original wooden houses and thatched huts had been pushed down and replaced with cement houses. Naturally, they did not use steel bars. It was not because they cut corners, but because bamboo strips were enough. The houses were all bungalows, and they were only two stories high. Although Yangzhou seemed to have a population of 1.5 million, if they were to be spread out to each county, it would become very small. In modern times, a county with a higher population density would have more than a million people.
"My Lord, we have laid a pipe under each house to drain the water!" Liu Mang explained to Liu Mang. Among the books that Liu Mang brought back, there were books on urban planning. Although Liu Mang couldn't do what was written in the book, he could still do some basic drainage pipes and water flow.
Although Shouchun did not make Liu Mang's eyes light up, to be able to reach this level, it showed that Liu Ye really put in a lot of effort. Liu Ye, Liu Ziyang. Liu Mang thought that if Cao Cao knew that he let go of such a talent, would he have the heart to commit suicide?
After entering the city, there would be a celebratory feast. After eating and drinking, Liu Mang's most difficult matter came.
Liu Mang didn't dare to go back to the King Of Shu's Mansion. Liu Mang hesitated in the meeting hall. However, under the murderous gaze of his father-in-law, who didn't drink at night, he could only move step by step towards the backyard.
After returning to the King Of Shu's Mansion, Liu Mang had to think again. There were a total of three houses. One was for his main wife, Miss Lu, another was for his co-wife, Princess Yuan Fang, and the last one was for Qiao Yu, who was nominally a concubine but was actually the master of the harem.
Liu Mang didn't know which room to go to. None of the rooms were good. If he went to Miss Lu's room, Miss Lu would be happy. However, Liu Mang guaranteed that he would be tortured to death by Tiger Qiao the next day. If he went to Qiao Yu's room, Miss Lu wouldn't say anything on the surface, but this little tiger would slowly swallow him up.
Let's go to Yuan Fang's room. Yuan Fang could be said to be the most gentle and kindest of Liu Mang's three wives. However, Yuan Fang had been brainwashed by the two tigresses for many years and was about to evolve into a third tigress who would advance and retreat together with the two of them.
"I won't go to any of them! Otherwise, it will affect the unity of the family! " Liu Mang comforted himself. Since he couldn't go to any of the rooms, he might as well not go to any of them. Although he would die sooner or later, it was better to live a little longer. Liu Mang thought that a bad life was better than a good death. He directly went to his master bedroom.
"Hey, why is the light still on?" Liu Mang walked to the outside of the room and saw that the light inside was still on. He felt a little strange, but then he felt relieved. He was the master of Yangzhou, so it was normal for the lights to be on.
He opened the door and entered the room in one go.
Liu Mang was about to close the door and lie down on the bed to sleep for a while. When he turned his head, his face was completely stiff. "My, my wives!" Liu Mang added a door because four beautiful figures suddenly appeared in his room.
