Since only the consent of the Gan family was obtained, Kou Feng began to summon Deng Ai's mother, as well as one of the ten Qings, Xiang Lang. Counsel with them about marriage.

At this moment, in the hall, Kou Feng himself sat on the upper seat, and below him were Xiang Lang and Deng Shi.

Xiang Lang is not necessary, the talent of a scholar is full of elegance. Now that you are Jiuqing, it has added a bit of officialdom.

Deng Kou Feng also saw it in his early years, and he was very beautiful. Over the years, as Deng Ai grew up and made contributions, his family was quite wealthy.

Under pampering, there is a little grace.

The atmosphere in the hall was actually a little strange, and the Deng clan saw Kou Feng again after many years. But the general in the past is now the majestic Duke of Chu.

Deng looked at Kou Feng, who was sitting in the first place, wearing formal clothes. I feel that the power is unstoppable. I couldn't help but bow my head slightly.

Xiang Lang was strange why there was still a woman present when the king summoned him.

"I summoned the two of you here today, and I just want to ask one thing." Kou Feng said first, and then asked: "Lone knows that Deng Ai is unmarried, and Xiang Pet is unmarried, I don't know if there is a marriage contract?" ”

"Your Excellency, there is no marriage contract for the proud son at present." Xiang Lang was stunned for a moment, and then replied.

"Deng Ai didn't either." Deng shook his head and said.

"That's very good. There are two sisters in the lonely family, the eldest eighteen, and the sixteenth. Born of the orphan mother Gan, the lonely is very loved. The endowment is also gentle and virtuous. The lonely plan is a big ration to the pet, and the ration is to Deng Ai. Marry the two, I don't know what the two think? Kou Feng asked with a smile.

Kou Feng's words just now made Xiang Lang a little prepared. Therefore, he replied very happily: "It is the luck of the proud son to love the king." ”

But no, Kou Feng treats the Gan family very well, this is something that everyone in Chu knows about. Now he personally inquired about the marriage of Gan's two daughters, saying that she was her sister.

If you can marry her, what a scenery it is.

"Woman on behalf of my son, thank you for your love." Deng Shi was even more distracted, and said happily.

Deng Ai was fighting outside, and Deng was afraid that he would have any accidents. is often worried, and plans to let Deng Ai marry a wife and have children first, so as to leave a bloodline.

I don't want Deng Aimune, filial piety. But this matter was resolutely refused. Now that Kou Feng is in charge, presumably Deng Ai will not refuse again.

Thinking of the joy, Deng was even more happy.

"Haha, good, good." Kou Feng laughed and said hello twice. Immediately, he said: "Gu immediately ordered that the eldest sister Liu Zi be the lord of Xiling, and the lord of the long Weng." The second sister Liu Jie is the lord of Chu Shou. In the state of Chu is equal to the princess. Then, he ordered Taichang to marry the two families. ”

Deng was still ignorant, but Xiang Lang was shocked.

What is the title of Xiling? Kou Feng's army was in Jiangxia, and the place of governance was in Xiling. Now the lord of Weng is sealed Xiling, and the lord of Weng is the chief of the princess, and his status in the Chu State is equal to that of the princess.

If Kou Feng really has the one who leaps into the dragon gate, he will be the eldest princess.

What about Chu Shou?

In the Han Dynasty, there was Hanshou, which was one of the most noble titles. Now Kou Feng is destined for his second sister Liu Jie with Chu Shou. More doting.

Xiang Lang originally thought that no matter how good the relationship between Kou Feng and the Gan family was, there was a degree. I don't want to, but I dote on his daughter.

Love me, love my dog.

At the beginning, when Liu Bei drove away Kou Feng, he claimed that the rebel son had an affair with his mother. But now it seems that all of them are self-defeating.

If it's just that kind of relationship, it's too late for Kou to cover up the informants, how can he wantonly seal the two daughters of the Gan family like this?

Only if the real relationship is good, like a mother, can this be possible.

Now that their family can marry this lord with a noble status and even more doted on by Kou, it can be described as a blessing.

smashed Xiang Lang unconscious.

Just like Kou Feng's style of situation, he told Deng Shi and Xiang Lang on the side. immediately made a lot of extravagance, and first officially sealed the title.

With the scenery of the princess, he put on a leaning position.

In November, he married his two younger sisters to Xiang Pet, Deng Ai. And issued an edict to posthumously record the efforts of the favor before and after, and seal the inner marquis to show his favor.

In this matter, Kou Feng's purpose is just to make the two younger sisters marry and make Gan feel relieved. But the impact is huge.

One is the reason why Liu Bei drove away Kou Feng in the past, and that incident was self-defeating in this major event.

In addition, it is Kou Feng's nostalgia.

Gan is just Kou Feng's adoptive mother. What's more, Kou Feng had a bad relationship with Liu Bei and killed Liu Bei. But now he is fostering his adoptive mother and marrying his adoptive mother and daughter.

is not related by blood, but with the same sister. Not only is the scenery married, but also the lord of the house, each has a food estate, like a princess.

In the Han Dynasty, princesses not only had status, but also power. Especially the eldest sister Liu Zi, who is the chief Weng master, is even more respectful.

What is it?

It's nostalgia.

Look at these people who followed Kou Feng, except for the Gan family, the rest of the civil and military generals were rewarded very decently. The old minister was even more gracious.

For example, the veteran Huang Zhong has always been outside, commanding the military power. The capital is Jianghuai military. It can be described as a grace that endures.

The people of Chu are honored.

Not only that, Chen Da, who used to raise troops with Kou Feng, is now a liehou, Zhang Dao, Xu Tian and others are also listed as Jiuqing.

Gan Ning is the right general, the liehou.

Women are afraid of marrying the wrong man, and ministers are afraid of following the wrong master.

In the past, a group of Hebei celebrities followed Yuan Shao, what a miserable end. Now Kou Feng is not only Mingjun, but also misses the old. Now Chu Zai is even more prosperous.

In this environment, it doesn't matter whether it's a civilian official or a military general. Ambitious people are very motivated. indirectly affected the general environment of the Chu State.

The hearts of the people are more cohesive.

"If you don't want to, there will be such an unexpected effect."

16th year of Jian'an, December.

Kou Feng knelt in the study, feeling the feeling of these days, the full of enthusiasm of the Manchu Dynasty's civil and military affairs, and sighed. Earnestness is unintentionally planted in the willows.

I really didn't expect this.

But at the same time, Kou Feng knew that the time was almost now.

First of all, the Shanyue and Shi clans in Jiangdong were pacified, and the interior was very stable. Jing Chu and Wu Yue practiced together, and they no longer distinguished each other.

Then he issued an edict to seek talents, and gathered a large number of civil ministers and military generals. Fully save talents.

After that, because of Kou Feng's tolerance for commerce, merchants gathered in the territory of Chu State, and it was very prosperous. Then, Kou Feng married his daughter with filial piety.

It brings people's hearts together.

The entire Chu State, after this period of recuperation, has gradually reached a state of youthful strength.

At this moment, it is already an opportunity to take Xishu.

But Kou Feng still felt that something was missing.

The so-called workers must first sharpen their tools if they want to do their jobs well.

After going through Chu Dao, ships and other affairs, Kou Feng has not found some sharp weapons for a while. It's not that I don't want to, but because I don't dare

It's like stirrups, and horseshoes.

Kou Feng's previous war horses, that was very scarce. I'm afraid that after I find out, I used it once, which is very cool. But I am also afraid of being plagiarized by others, such as Ma Teng, Han Sui, etc.

If these two cavalrymen are plagiarized, Kou Feng will not want to leave Shu in this life. Nest directly in the nest of the mountain.

The iron horses of others outside are too dangerous.

But that's no longer the case. After this period of steady growth. And because Gongsun Kang is currently in turmoil in the north, he still needs some support from Kou Feng.

Hence the vigorous growth of trade.

Kou Feng inexhaustibly transported grain to the north, while Gongsun Kang inexhaustibly transported war horses to the south. Now there are nearly seventy or eighty thousand war horses lined up outside Xiangyang City.

With such a large amount of military resources, Kou Feng will certainly not leave it alone.

If Zhao Yun was ordered to recruit 20,000 troops at this time, and there were 30,000 cavalry in front and behind. With 30,000 cavalry, as long as they have been trained for a year and a half, combined with stirrups and horseshoes, the advantage will come out.

can compete with Ma Teng and Han Sui's cavalry.

In this way, after entering Shu, Kou Feng sent troops north to compete with Ma Teng and Han Sui.

Marching soldiers, win first and then fight. Now the rear of Kou Feng is gradually stable, the grain and grass are abundant, and the country is strong. Then prepare stirrups, horseshoes.

Preparation is not enough.

It's about winning first and fighting later.

For the establishment of an invincible iron weapon with stirrups and horseshoes, Kou Feng can be coveted for a long time. Now the treasury is full and there are many horses.

It's a great time.

How could Kou Feng not be itchy?

couldn't help but immediately waved his hand and said, "Someone, summon Zhao Yun, the general of the town, to come and meet you." ”

"No." The attendant who was waiting next to him immediately answered and walked out.

The use of horseshoes and stirrups can be a great gallop of cavalry. Not only can you fight Ma Teng, Han Sui, and Cao Cao, but you can also collect the remnants after defeating Ma Teng and Han Sui.

Carry out reorganization and take Zhuqiang from the west. Go north to destroy the Huns, and then go north to destroy the Xianbei people.

Although I think about it now, it's a little bit more high. However, Kou Feng still sincerely admired the prosperous situation of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty when the large-scale cavalry entered the grassland.

If there is an opportunity, go west to buy the Silk Road again. Expelled the steppe people to Europe, and to the east consolidated the rule of the Korean Peninsula established by the Gongsun clan of Liaodong, and further completely eliminated the Samhan there.

That's so cool.

Time flies, and Kou Feng is only a little farther away. Zhao Yun arrived.

"Your Majesty." Zhao Yun's armor was unresolved, so it can be seen that when the people who summoned Zhao Yun went, Zhao Yun was still training cavalry, which can be described as diligent.

"Zilong is in armor, so there is no need to be polite." Kou Feng said with a smile. Immediately, he pointed to the position next to him and said, "Sit." ”

"Thank you." Zhao Yun answered and sat down next to him.

"I don't know the lonely cavalry, and the elephant soldiers. What's going on? Kou Feng asked.

Although the elephant soldiers are clumsy, it is difficult for them to travel north. But there is still some use in the south, and Kou Feng thinks that it may be useful when pacifying Xishu.

The compilation was saved.

In addition, after the surname Shi was returned to Jiaozhou, the number of elephants increased to forty or fifty. If you fight against the infantry, it is a lot of combat power.

Kou Feng then cared.

"Your Excellency, the elephants have gradually adapted to it. The training of the cavalry is in full swing.

The soldiers are very hardworking. At the mention of cavalry, Zhao Yun's face brightened, and he said with a smile.

Zhao Yun came out of Gongsun Zhan's side, which is undeniable. Zhao Yun didn't want to deny it. And what Gongsun Chan relied on was the invincible cavalry.

In the past, although Zhao Yun left Gongsun Zhan, he was very admired in this regard.

There were no conditions for following Liu Bei at the beginning, but since following Kou Feng, there are 10,000 cavalry. Zhao Yun has always had a soft spot for cavalry.

After receiving, it is natural to train diligently. Now when it comes to cavalry, it is natural that the eyebrows are flying.

Poor Zhao Yun was originally a very calm person, but when it came to cavalry, he broke his appearance.

"Oh, that's very good." Kou Feng nodded happily, and then asked: "Since the cavalry has gradually been on the track, can I see if we can increase the number of troops by another 20,000 and increase the cavalry to 30,000?" ”

Zhao Yun was stunned for a moment, then shook his head and said, "Your Excellency, the establishment of cavalry is not an overnight thing. It didn't take a few years to become an elite, and now 10,000 cavalry have just hit the rails. If it is increased, I am afraid it is not a good thing. ”

As the saying goes, you have to eat the rice one bite at a time. Although Zhao Yun also hopes that he can command an army of 100,000 and shock the desert. However, Zhao Yun focused on safety, first trained 10,000 elite soldiers, and built these 10,000 cavalry into masters among masters. Then, based on 10,000, it was expanded. This is Zhao Yun's plan.

Zhao Yun expects it to take three years.

Zhao Yun's idea may be the time necessary for the process of building up the cavalry. But apparently Kou Feng couldn't wait that long.

And Kou Feng has a shortcut.

A shortcut that only he knows.

"What if the time for training cavalry was lowered from three or five years to one year, or even half a year?" Kou Feng asked with a smile.

Zhao Yun first thought that he was incompetent, but when he thought of Kou Feng's layered methods, he couldn't help but lose his voice and said, "You have a good plan?" ”

"Please tell me." Then, Zhao Yun immediately raised his fist.

His eyes were shining, and he was very excited.

If this distance can be shortened, then how many cavalry can be trained, and how many cavalry can be trained? What a big deal. What a big deal.

Large-scale cavalry in the northern Central Plains, in the steppe desert, how powerful.

How could Zhao Yun, who was fascinated by cavalry, not be excited?

Under Zhao Yun's expectant gaze, Kou Feng smiled and said, "Yes, yes, but now Lone can't take it out." Because it's still here. With that, Kou Feng pointed to his head. And he said, "However, it only takes a little time, and it should be able to be built." So, go recruit with peace of mind. 20,000 troops were recruited, and 30,000 were recruited before and after. Lone should go west to Yizhou within one year, and Linyongliang in two or three years. At that time, whether he can compete with Ma Teng, Han Sui and others depends on Zilong. ”

"Your Excellency, rest assured, if it is really a good weapon. The minister will definitely live up to expectations. Zhao Yun happily took the order.

The expression is still very excited, since Kou Feng has exited, the means must be there. Zhao Yun had no doubts.

Cavalry, massive cavalry.

is as calm as Zhao Yun, and he is also very excited.
