Chapter 266 Talent Reserve In the Great Xianbei Mountains, Tian Ze, who was about to return, looked at Liao Hua, who had a resolute face and a rather strong physique, and smiled slightly. "Yuan Jian, what do you think? Do you want to come with me?" This time, Tian Ze’s journey westward from the Great Xianbei Mountain was not in vain. Not only did he expand the "small map", but he also clearly noticed the huge changes in Liao Hua. The thin and silent young general who once served under Zhang Liao has now grown into a hero capable of commanding tens of thousands of cavalry. However, in just about three years, Liao Hua had grown to a level that Tian Ze could see both in terms of talent and leadership ability. Moreover, this is not his limit. Even he was not sure how far Liao Hua would grow in the future. Liao Hua was delighted when he heard this, but he still shook his head: "My Lord, I want to stay in the grassland." "Why?" Tian Ze asked.
"The Central Plains is good, but it is not suitable for me. I still want to stay in the borderland and fight against foreign races." Liao Hua said in a deep voice. Coming from the Yellow Turbans, he actually hated disputes and wars, but he had to end wars with wars. Compared with the Central Plains, he prefers the grassland. I like the feeling of defeating those tyrannical alien leaders and saving and assimilating those ordinary people. He felt that he was fighting for the Han people, which was more comfortable than fighting among the princes in the Central Plains. Hearing Liao Hua's words, Tian Ze couldn't help but look sideways. "Beyond the Great Wall is a great place! It's flat and there aren't many ditches or bumps." "Since you want to stay, then stay. But now that the Xianbei have surrendered, I'm afraid you won't have many battles to fight. Won't you feel lonely?" Tian Ze said with a smile. Liao Hua's talent meant that he needed to fight constantly in order to become stronger. Although he has a kind heart, his experience of joining the Yellow Turbans in his early years has made him very mature, and he knows that only the strong can make the rules. Having no sword in hand is not the same as having a sword but not using it, so he never slacked off and kept fighting, which is why he was able to grow so fast. "My lord, there are still Dingling in the north." Liao Hua said nonchalantly. Since coming to the grassland, he has deeply felt the vastness of the world. Even the majestic Central Plains is probably just a corner. No one has truly reached the end of the world. To the north of the Xianbei were Dingling and Jiankun, and to the west were Hujie and Gongsun. There were so many potential enemies that he never worried about not finding an opponent. "Ding Ling!" Tian Ze smacked his lips. Lake Baikal is a good place and it is also one of the components of Tian Ze’s ideal geopolitical boundary line of the Central Plains. Tian Ze had imagined countless times the boundaries of the territory he could control. In the end, mountains and rivers were chosen as the boundaries, with the initial plan extending to the Greater Khingan Range, Lake Baikal, and Sayan Mountains in the north, to the Tianshan Mountains, Pamir Plateau, and Sulaiman Mountains in the west, and to the area around Kalimantan Island in the south. This territory is blocked by mountains and rivers in the north and west, occupies many rich and key places, and is extremely close to the maximum radius that Tianze can rule today.
"Dingling and Jiankun will sooner or later become the territory of the Han people. But we can't act hastily now. We are not ready to take them down yet." "You should first sharpen your sword against the disobedient Xianbei tribe. You can also fight the Dingling occasionally, but you must be aware of the impact and not go too far." Tian Ze warned. Although Guan Hai was strong, he was not the kind of person who could destroy an entire country single-handedly. The situation under his rule is already troublesome enough, and he really can't afford to make any more trouble. "Don't worry, my lord. I'll take care of it." Tian Ze glanced at Pang De who was standing beside him again: "And you, Ling Ming. You too, don't take the initiative to cause trouble." "The time is not yet ripe. When I have time, I will arrange for you to have a good fight." Tian Ze was also a bit troubled by Pang De. He didn't know if it was because of his talent, but Pang De had always been mature and steady during the battles in the Central Plains. Ever since he fought against a foreign race, he seemed to have let himself go, shouting for war and killing every day, and seemed to have become an extreme nationalist. "Don't worry, my lord." Pang De was also a little embarrassed at this time. He didn't want to, but his talent... Every time he fought against foreign races, it seemed as if the bloodline of his soldiers was awakened. It can be said that his strength is unknown, but he becomes stronger when he meets Hu. Every time he fought, he seemed to hear the shouts of countless heroes buried on this grassland. At that time, he seemed to have lost all thoughts and only had revenge in his heart. And after the war, the pleasure of settling old grudges and fighting one against five people made him unable to stop. He always felt that the grassland was his home, and the blood feud between the Han and the Hu that had lasted for hundreds of years was his inexhaustible source of strength. Tian Ze was completely relieved about placing these two people to garrison in Daxianbei Mountain. The only thing that worries him is that these two people are getting too excited about killing and hitting too hard, which will affect his future strategic planning. We are still short of people under my command! Tian Ze thought with a headache. Although there seem to be many civil and military officials, the territory is too large and there will be few left if they are divided a little bit. Those guys from the Jixia Academy should have learned enough by now, and it’s time for them to come out and gain some experience. At this moment, in the Jixia Academy, several young men seemed to sense something and sneezed together. The scholar opposite Xu Shu saw an opportunity and rushed up without hesitation and delivered a heavy punch straight to the chest. However, Xu Shu seemed to be prepared. He turned his feet slightly and slightly tilted his body to dodge the punch smoothly, then kicked him to the ground. "Who else?" Seeing the infinitely rampant Xu Shu on the martial arts stage, another young and energetic scholar could not help but climb onto the stage, clasped his fists and said, "Confucian Kong Li, please teach me." Facing this scholar who was eight feet tall and had a sturdy physique and was quite similar to his ancestor Confucius, Xu Shu had no fear in his eyes and was eager to try. "Well done!"
After saying that, the two of them quickly started fighting. Zhuge Liang, who was playing chess in the distance, saw this scene and shook his head slightly. Yuanzhi still needed to be tempered and his temperament was too impatient. Lu Xun, who was sitting opposite him, calmly added another black piece to the chessboard. "Bo Yan, this is not what a gentleman does." Just as Lu Xun quietly withdrew his hand, he heard Zhuge Liang say in a deep voice. "You are two years older than me, so what's wrong with giving me two pieces?" Seeing that he couldn't cheat, Lu Xun casually scattered the chess pieces on the board. "Toys ruin your ambition! How can I waste such a good time? I'm going to study now." Seeing Lu Xun "fleeing in panic", Zhuge Liang smiled. It seems that because he has not experienced the destruction of his family, although Lu Xun has grown rapidly, he is not as calm and humble as the heroic commander-in-chief in later generations. Especially because he is often with Xu Shu, he has become a lot more lively now. Zhuge Liang sorted the chess pieces slowly and put them into the box. Just as he was about to leave, he saw a young man with a sharp look sitting in Lu Xun's seat. "Brother, how about I come down and play a few chess games with you?" "As you wish." Zhuge Liang looked at this extraordinary-looking man, and for some reason, he felt a strange disgust in his heart, but he still spoke gently. (End of this chapter)
