Chapter 31 Liang has a plan: borrow chickens to lay eggs!

Xue Qinghe's face showed loss and bitterness.

Because this last person is not some powerful figure in the Three Kingdoms, but
Yuan Shu?!
The dry bones in the tomb, Yuangong Road, Runan!

"The eldest son of the Yuan family, Yuan Gonglu of Runan, greets His Highness!"

As he spoke, the tall and thin man bowed to Xue Qinghe and glanced at the other civil and military officials in the hall with a rather arrogant look on his face.

【Emperor Zhong of the Three Kingdoms: Yuan Shu】

【Force: 70】

[Intelligence: 70]

【Commander: 70】

【Politics: 68】

【Charm: 66】

[Strength transformation, level 70 strong attack system battle soul saint! ]

Yuan Shu was the first person to proclaim himself emperor during the Three Kingdoms period, so he did not belong to the Han Dynasty's civil and military officials. Although Wei, Shu, and Wu all proclaimed themselves emperors in the later period, they did so after the fall of the Han Dynasty.

So this may be the reason why Yuan Shu is unique in the Three Kingdoms summons.

What disappointed Xue Qinghe was that the quality of the ten civil and military officials he had been looking forward to was somewhat below his expectations. To put it bluntly, there was no Titled Douluo level person.

As for high-level counselors like Zhuge Liang and Zhou Yu, to be honest, they are not really needed. Douluo Continent is famous for its low IQ, so there is no need for so many counselors. If they rely on their brains, those Three Kingdoms bosses will easily kill them. Therefore, Xue Qinghe feels that with Jia Xu's planning, there is no need for so many civil officials and counselors, and a few more titled military generals can directly push the market.

As the number of titled generals increases, the Spirit Hall's Worship Hall and Poseidon Island will not be so difficult to deal with.

Xue Qinghe did not show favoritism and helped Yuan Shu up as well, then walked to his seat.

Looking at the twenty Three Kingdoms civil and military officers on the field, especially the ten newly summoned civil and military officers, Xue Qinghe also did not intend to keep all of them by his side. Da Qiao and Xiao Qiao could be considered, but it would be better to assign the others if possible.

Looking at Gao Shun, Wang Ping, Chen Dao and Cao Chun who were summoned this time, Xue Qinghe actually had an idea.

It’s not that Xue Qinghe came up with ideas quickly, but that these four people have one obvious thing in common, that is, they were all military commanders in the Three Kingdoms period, and they were relatively famous military commanders.

The famous armies during the Three Kingdoms period include Gao Shun's Xianzhen Camp, Cao Chun's Tiger and Leopard Cavalry, Ju Yi's Xiandeng Camp, Gongsun Zan's Baima Volunteers, Chen Dao's Baibi Soldiers, Wang Ping's Wudang Flying Army, Zhang He's Daji Soldiers and Lu Bu's Bingzhou Wolf Cavalry, etc.

And now, half of the commanders in charge of these troops were summoned by himself. Xue Qinghe wondered whether he wanted to replicate these troops and serve him.

So Xue Qinghe directly ordered: "Gao Shun, Wang Ping, Chen Dao, Cao Chun, I plan to organize four troops for you to lead. I hope you can continue to use your talents to build a truly powerful army for me!"

Upon hearing this, the four of them knelt on one knee and accepted the order.

"I will obey your orders!"

Most of the other people in the field had no objection, except Mi Zhu, who was in charge of Tiandou Chamber of Commerce, Liu Bei, and Zhuge Liang who had just been summoned, who seemed to be worried.

Mi Zhu and Liu Bei exchanged a few words with Xing Daorong beside them, and then Xing Daorong stepped forward and said, "Your Highness, developing the army requires a lot of money!"

"Why? Your Tiandou Chamber of Commerce can't afford it?" Xue Qinghe replied.

The purpose of developing the Chamber of Commerce is to make a purse for himself. After all, Xue Qinghe will need money for many things in the future. Xing Daorong continued, "Your Highness, it's not that I can't afford it, but I can't make ends meet."

"What's the difference?"

Xing Daorong smiled awkwardly: "Your Highness, the statement of being unable to afford is too direct. The statement of being unable to make ends meet is more tactful."

Xue Qinghe chuckled: "Mi Zhu, is the Chamber of Commerce really broke or is it just pretending to be broke? Wasn't the business quite big before?"

Mi Zhu walked forward slowly, with a bitter look on his face: "We dare not deceive Your Highness. The advancement of the construction of the School Affairs Office and the development of Taiping Taoism all cost money like water. Although the Chamber of Commerce is profitable, there are too many places to spend money. It's not that I am complaining, the Chamber of Commerce is really out of money. It's not enough to support the military horses of four divisions."

Liu Bei then stepped forward and said, "Your Highness, whether Tiandou Chamber of Commerce has money is actually secondary. The key is that Your Highness is a prince, and it is a serious crime to privately raise soldiers and horses!"

Xue Qinghe thought about it and felt that what Mi Zhu and the other two said made sense. As an intelligence agency, the School Affairs Office naturally spent a lot of money. Zhang Jiao's Taiping Sect was also a non-profit organization, so it spent a lot of money. Moreover, if he really trained four armies, it would be difficult to explain if Emperor Xue Ye found out.

Do you just give up?

Xue Qinghe subconsciously looked at Jia Xu standing beside him, but saw that the old guy had his hands in his pockets, his head down, looking at his feet, with no intention of speaking at all.

Just as Xue Qinghe was about to speak, someone on the other side spoke.

"Your Highness, do you really want to organize your own troops?"

Following the voice, I saw it was Kong Ming, the Sleeping Dragon, speaking with a feather fan and a green scarf.

A person's reputation is like the shadow of a tree. Zhuge Liang is so famous, so his ability must be quite good.

Xue Qinghe nodded, and said affirmatively: "I do have the idea of ​​raising an army, and the four generals are all rare talents. Instead of letting them stay by my side to protect me, it is better to let them do what they are best at. Besides, I already have Yun Chang and Zhong Kang (Xu Chu) by my side, so I don't need so many people."

Zhuge Liang held a feather fan in his hand and bowed to Xue Qinghe, saying, "Thank you for telling me the truth, Your Highness. I have a plan that can help you solve your current problem."

"Oh? Kong Ming came up with a plan so quickly? He's not like me, who is so taciturn!" While saying this, Xue Qinghe did not forget to glance at Jia Xu, the man of the "head-down tribe".

The latter still did not respond.

"If Kong Ming has any plan, please tell us quickly!"

When talking about strategies, Zhuge Liang's eyes became more and more confident.

"Your Highness, I have a plan, called: Borrowing Chickens to Lay Eggs!"

As soon as Kong Ming finished speaking, the other civil and military officials began to whisper to each other, as if they were guessing Zhuge Liang's strategy.

Xue Qinghe was also stunned. Borrowing chickens to lay eggs, isn't this the plot in the original novel where Shrek Academy can't make it and wants to beg for food at Tiandou Royal Academy?
Including Jia Xu who was standing aside, when he heard the words "borrowing chickens to lay eggs", he raised his head, narrowed his eyes slightly, glanced at Zhuge Liang, then the corners of his mouth curled up slightly, and then he lowered his head again.

Liu Bei and Zhuge Liang were familiar with each other, so he said, "Military Advisor, please explain in detail."

Zhuge Liang nodded, and then looked at Xue Qinghe: "Although Your Highness has four generals, there is neither military funding nor reasonable reason to support his own troops."

"Instead of doing this, it would be better to let the four generals join the army and join the Tiandou Empire's army!"

"Join the army?" Liu Bei asked.

Zhuge Liang nodded: "With the abilities of the four generals, if they join the army, they will be able to command an army in due time. By then, given the four generals' loyalty to Your Highness, the troops they command will obey Your Highness' orders, and the expenses of these troops will be provided by the empire. In this way, Your Highness will use the empire's money to support his own troops!"
