Optimization System of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 213
"One tael of gold X1000"

"it is good!"

Zhang Lan couldn't help screaming.

Now that the republic treasury is empty, it is time to need money, otherwise Zhang Lan would not have found Lao Wang and asked for this solution.

With these 1000 taels of gold, Zhang Lan can build roads unscrupulously, and make the army's supplies more sufficient.

Now that the supplies have been obtained, Zhang Lan withdrew from the optimization space.

"come"

"His Majesty"

"Go and call Zhuge Situ for me"

"According to the purpose"

The guard pushed open the door and went to Zhuge Liang's mansion.

"Please also inform that His Majesty has summoned Zhuge Situ for an audience"

"Please wait"

When the guards in Zhuge Liang's mansion heard that Zhang Lan had summoned them, they hurried into the house and reported to Zhuge Liang.

Zhuge Liang was taken aback when he heard the guard's report.

After all, he had just returned from Zhang Lan's place. He had just entered the house not long ago. Before he could do anything, Zhang Lan sent someone to look for him. He really couldn't figure out why Zhang Lan was looking for him.

'Has His Majesty figured out a way to make money? '

Zhuge Liang thought to himself.

"Well, I see, tell the guards who came, I will go now"

"Yes"

"come"

"grown ups"

"Prepare the carriage, I want to enter the palace"

"Yes"

Zhuge Liang tidied up his clothes and went out.

Inside the palace

"Your Majesty, Zhuge Situ has arrived"

"Well, let him in"

"Yes, Your Majesty"

"The humble minister Zhuge Liang sees His Majesty"

"Wai Li, Kong Ming, look at what that is!"

Zhang Lan pointed to a corner of the room.

The corners are filled with gold.

"This!"

Zhuge Liang couldn't believe his eyes, rubbed his hands to make sure he was right, and asked in surprise, "Your Majesty, where does this gold come from?"

Zhang Lan said with a mysterious smile, "The secret of heaven must not be revealed."

Zhuge Liang shook his head with a wry smile, and then said, "This gold should be nearly a thousand taels, right?"

"En." Zhang Lan nodded, "It's a full 1000 taels."

Zhuge Liang was overjoyed, "With this thousand taels of gold, it is enough to repair the road and supplement the military salary."

Zhang Lan smiled and said nothing.

"Your Majesty, has the previous road construction been carried out?"

"En." Zhang Lan nodded again, "Come on."

"His Majesty"

"Give this thousand taels of gold to Zhuge Situ and help him move it."

"According to the purpose"

"Oh, by the way, road construction is imminent, don't care about money, just speed"

"Ministry of obedience"

Zhuge Liang bowed and saluted, and then left with the thousand taels of gold.

Back in the mansion, Zhuge Liang directly ordered someone to post a notice, and paid a lot of money to recruit road construction personnel.

There must be a brave man under the heavy reward. Naturally, this principle is not only applicable to the army, it is still the same among the common people.

Because of the high salaries, the number of applicants was quickly filled.

The next day, Zhuge Liang ordered to go down and start building roads outside Luoyang City.

However, there is no such thing as cement in this era, just fill it up with soil, and then squeeze it with heavy objects, the speed is not fast.

Jian'an 15rd year, AD 210

Zhou Yu, the former commander of Sun Ce's remnant tribe and now Jiangxia's remnant tribe, died of illness.

The river is in chaos, and the dragons have no leader.

Zhang He and Lu Xun took advantage of the opportunity to advance, and the troops were divided into two groups to destroy Xindu and Wancheng, capture Yuzhang and Shiting, and finally entered Chaisang.

Cao Cao also heard Qi's inquiries, and ordered Cai Hao and Zhang Yun to send troops to Jiangxia, and sent General Cao Ren to fight for the territory.

Originally, the troops in Yiyang also rested for a while and stopped attacking.

Then Zhang Lan recalled all the generals and Luoyang, Hulaoguan and Yongning.

Only Ma Chao was in Tongguan, Huang Zhong marched into Bohai, and Zhang He stationed troops in Chaisang.

Jian'an 16rd year, AD 211

Cao Cao, the king of Shu, and Liu Bei, the emperor of Han, both received letters of war from Zhang Lan, the emperor of the great republic.

Invite the two to gather at Hulao Pass and compete in martial arts.

After receiving the news, Cao Cao and Liu Bei were very surprised, not knowing what Zhang Lan was doing.

However, as Cao Cao asked Xi Zhicai and Liu Bei asked Sima Yi, they all understood Zhang Lan's intentions.

Firstly, it was to let Cao Cao enter Liu Bei's territory and disrupt the relationship between the two. If Liu Bei let Cao Cao come, then maybe Cao Cao would do some tricks, and Liu Bei's gain would not be worth the loss. If Cao Cao was not allowed to come, then the relationship between the two armies would become more embarrassing , I obviously don't trust it, although I understand this truth, but I can't make up for it.

Secondly, Sima Yi and Xi Zhicai agreed that Zhang Lan's self-confidence was inflated, thinking that the generals under his command could completely deal with the generals under Cao Cao and Liu Bei.

Although Liu Bei disdained this very much, he still didn't want Cao Cao to come over, but was persuaded by Sima Yi to let Cao Cao come over.

Liu Bei hesitated for a long time, was persuaded by Sima Yi, and finally agreed.

However, Cao Cao was suspicious by nature, and naturally he would not really go to Hulao Pass. After receiving the news, he laughed unceasingly, and sent envoys to Liu Bei and Zhang Lan.

It is said that Cao Cao is waiting in Yiyang, and Liu Bei is waiting in Hulao Pass, and at the same time they will start a battle. If Zhang Lan wins, then Cao Cao will retreat back to Nanyang.

If Zhang Lan loses, then he will give up this great river and mountain and surrender in Kaesong.

Naturally, Zhang Lan was not afraid of Cao Cao, so he agreed.

Because although the two have a lot of fierce generals, they are not all around, and the fierce generals under his command are like a cloud, and many of them have been optimized and upgraded. They are already very fierce. Fight with both sides.

After receiving the news, Cao Cao laughed heartily, saying that Zhang Lan was self righteous.

Liu Bei also acquiesced to this decision and summoned Xu Huang to Hulao Pass.

Later, Zhang Lan sent troops and ordered Zhao Yun, Pang De, Zhang Liao, Chen Dao, Zang Ba, Ji Ling, and Guan Hai to lead the troops to Yiyang to bet against Cao Cao.

Then he personally led the army with Gao Shun, Dian Wei, Xu Chu, Lu Kuang, Lu Xiang, Lei Tong, and Su Yi to Hulao Pass, intending to fight Liu Bei.

Hulao Pass is relatively close to Luoyang, so Zhang Lan's team arrived first.

Zhang Lan led the troops out of the pass and lined up in front of the formation.

Liu Bei also lined up to fight against him.

"Is there no one in Xuande?"

Liu Bei sneered and said nothing, then ordered Xu Huang to fight.

Zhang Lan directly ordered Dianwei to fight, and also ordered Dao to try to capture him alive.

Then Zhang Lan shouted again, "Is there no one in Xuande?"

Liu Bei was out of breath and sent Li Jue, Guo Si, Zhang Xiu, and Xu Rong to fight.

All four of them used to be Zhang Lan's old team, and they didn't want to fight at first, but now they are named by Liu Bei, so they can only go forward on horseback.

Zhang Lan then laughed and said, "Sure enough, no one is there, they are all traitors."

Zhang Xiu and Xu Rong showed shame.

Before Zhang Lan could speak, Xu Chu slapped his horse and came out. Zhang Lan was afraid that Xu Chu would make a mistake with one enemy and four, so he immediately sent Lu Kuang, Lu Xiang, and Su Yi to help.

The group fight started again, but it had just begun, and Xu Huang's side had already shown that he was invincible.

Liu Bei was shocked and immediately sent Guan Yu to help.

Zhang Lan laughed, and said to Gao Shun, "Go, kill Xiaoguan for me."
