Chapter 357

The latest website: The lord's mansion is busy up and down. The maids come in and out, buy clothes, and doctors with midwifery skills are invited to live in the lord's mansion and deliver babies at any time.

The entire Xuzhou forces are looking forward to the birth of the heir. The Chutian forces are developing very well, and they have become one of the princes most likely to unify the Central Plains. If there is an heir and the momentum of development of the power is maintained, the vested interests of the civil servants and generals can be guaranteed.

It can be said that Chutian's eldest son is not only related to Chutian's own interests, but the interests of all civil servants and generals.

Hua Mulan took Joan of Arc and recently stayed by Xia Liang's side to soothe Xia Liang's anxiety. At the same time, Mulan is somewhat envious of the cool summer.

After Joan of Arc's enlightenment by Xia Xia Liang, her eyes recovered.

Chu Tian invited Fang Xuanling to play chess.

This kind of thing, Chutian thinks it is more tense than marching to fight.

He dared to lead the Hu Ben army to attack the enemy, but now the tension in the lord's mansion is even worse than the battle of Xiaopei.

"It is said that Tang killed Yuan Shu and completely digested Yuan Shu's population, territory, and troops, and he would become my great enemy. The battle of Xiaopei has not yet been fatal to him."

Chu Tian and Fang Xuanling talked about the general trend of the world and eased the anxiety in his heart a little.

At present, it is said that Tang has become his biggest opponent to unify the Central Plains.

"It is said that Tang only has Yuzhou, as long as the lord occupies the land south of the Yellow River, with the Yellow River as the boundary, deploys a small number of troops and horses to defend, and concentrates the main attack on Tang, saying that Tang's defeat is only a matter of time."

Fang Xuanling didn't care.

Chutian considered that Le Yi, Zhou Yafu and other generals did not participate in the battle of Xiaopei. If they participated in the battle, the battle of Xiaopei would not be so difficult.

It is said that Tang had done his best in the battle of Xiaopei, but Chu Tian only used half of his elite.

"Youzhou was attacked by Mingguan, Huma, and Yuan Shao. Even if Liu Bei had more generals, he would not be able to support it. Liu Bei, the Youzhou shepherd, may soon come to an end."

When competing in the Central Plains, Chutian cared more about his opponents in Hebei.

After occupying the Central Plains, Chutian's goal was to attack Hebei.

Liu Bei is also considered unlucky, the three princes all want to carve up his territory. Yuan Shao wanted to unify the nine counties of Jizhou, Mingguan wanted to dominate Youzhou, and Huma wanted to capture Dai County and expand his sphere of influence.

"Prince Yan is difficult to resist Mingguan, the lord can recruit him and annex his civil servants and generals."

Fang Xuanling concluded that Prince Yan and Gongsun Zan could not stop the Liaodong Army from entering Youzhou.

According to the information obtained by the Chutian forces, Mingguan dispatched hundreds of good generals and more than 200,000 troops to attack Youbeiping County on a large scale.

"I want to arrange for Prince Yan to develop on the prairie, occupy a large local city, and use the teleportation array to provide me with war horses."

Chutian has new plans.

Youzhou is about to fall, and only Longxi nobles are left in Chutian's horse market. Longxi may face the attack of Jiujiu, the overlord of Guanzhong. In order to ensure the supply of excellent war horses, Chutian promised Prince Yan a high official and generous salary, and asked him to flee to Monan after the defeat to collect warhorses for the Chutian forces.

There are many cities in Monan. If you build a large city, you can set up a teleportation array and use the teleportation array to transport the war horses in Monan to Yanzhou and Xuzhou. Compared with buying war horses from the Western Regions, the cost is lower.

Chutian is also preparing to conquer the prairie. He needed Prince Yan as the vanguard to conquer the prairie.

There are also players, lords, Xianbei, Xiongnu and other tribes on the prairie, and in Mobei, there is also the dangerous Mongolian Empire civilization.

It was too late to wait until Chutian unified the Eastern Han Dynasty and then started to operate Monan. He has to have someone with courage and ability to manage Mo Nan in advance. As long as Chutian unites Hebei, it can be linked with Prince Yan.

Fang Xuanling said, "If Prince Yan is trustworthy, there is nothing wrong with this arrangement."

"My lord, Miss Xia... she gave birth!"

Just as Chu Tian was about to settle down, the maid came to inform him that he had no interest and immediately went to wait.

Outside Xia Liang's house, there are at least a dozen maids, including Hua Mulan, Joan of Arc, Xue Yue, and other women who are friends with Xia Xia Liang.

"How is the master?"

Li Xiuning came back from Taishan County, and her friendship with Xia Xia Liang was second only to Hua Mulan.

"Lord!"

When Chutian came, all the women gave their salutes.

This time is no trivial matter, after all, this is the first time the Lord's Mansion has experienced such a major event.

Joan of Arc's eyes were complicated, she already knew that Chutian did not intend to put it back in France, but Xia Xianliang gave her hope again.

"If it is difficult to give birth, keep the big and let the small."

Chutian ordered the doctor in charge of the delivery to be informed.

Parents are true love, and children are just accidents, tools used to inherit territory. It is Chutian and Xianliang that really dominate the world. Xia Xia Liang's contribution to the expansion of Chutian's forces can be ranked in the top three.

Without a child, the future rebirth is that, if Xia Liang died of dystocia, the life of Chutian in the future is estimated to be difficult.

Chu Tian's forward-thinking concept attracted the attention of many women.

Hua Mulan squeezed Chu Tian's hand and felt Chu Tian's nervousness.

If only I could make Xiang Gong so nervous at any time. Mulan touched her flat stomach. Probably because of the long-term battle, Mulan never responded.

The lord is kind to the master of the family. Li Xiuning was more concerned about the interests of Xia Xia Liang. She saw that Chu Tian greeted him in advance and wanted to protect him, and her favorability to Chu Tian increased significantly.

As a player, Xue Yue doesn't think there is anything. She is not a core high-level player in Chutian, but she is quite influential among free players. She can use free players to collect information, which has a special role.

Chu Tian paced restlessly outside the house, waiting for the result.

The atmosphere of the lord's mansion was solemn and silent.

A loud cry came from the cool summer room, breaking the anxiety, and everyone was overjoyed.

Li Lan came out to announce: "My lord, mother and son are safe, it's a boy!"

Chu Tian's head was blank. After laying down such a huge territory, he finally had his first child. And it is the legal heir under the primogeniture system!

If this child can grow up smoothly, with the support of Xia Liang, there will be basically no situation where the sons will seize the heir, because other women do not have the prestige and means of Xia Xia Liang. At the same time, Xia Xia Liang is alone, has no family background, and there will be no problem of foreign relatives seizing power.

Unless this child is a fool in the future, there will be no heir crisis for the Xuzhou forces.

Chu Tian came to the room, Xia Tianliang was lying on the bed, his body was soaked in sweat, his face was bloodless, his lips were white.

Having a baby is like passing through the gates of hell.

Even so, in order to consolidate his position in Chutian's heart, Xia Tianliang squeezed Chutian for several months before becoming pregnant.

"Xianggong, it's a boy..."

"You don't need to say more, you need to take care of yourself first."

Chu Tian held Xia Xian Liang's hand, which was somewhat cold, and couldn't help feeling distressed.

Xia Tianliang defended Xiacheng for him many times, and gave birth to his first son. The higher the status, the more unshakable he was.

Chu Tian stayed with Xia Xia Liang for a whole day and didn't pay much attention to his son.

On the contrary, Hua Mulan, Joan of Arc, Xue Yue and others surrounded Chu Tian's son, and they couldn't put it down, and their motherhood was overflowing. The usually cold Li Xiuning is also teasing the little heir of Xuzhou.

Chu Tian's son was born with a golden key. His father was Xuzhou Mu and General An Dong. At present, the most likely vassal of the Eastern Han Dynasty was unified.

With little effort, his parents can bring down the world.

Sometimes the difference between people is bigger than the difference between people and pigs.

"When can I have a child..."

Seeing the child who is cool in summer, Mulan can't help but want to apply yellow to the mirror instead of continuing to fight in all directions.

After a while, Hua Mulan carried the little heir to Xia Xia's cool room and let Chu Tian see her son.

"Sister Mulan, you will be his mistress temporarily, as well as Sister Jeanne and Xiuning, you can consider him as your adopted son."

In order to consolidate his son's status, Xia Xia Liang took the lead in attracting a group of people who were close to each other. Mulan and Li Xiuning are the commanders of the Guards Corps, and Joan of Arc is the commander of the Servant Corps.

The three legion commanders supported Xuzhou's heir, and the legion commanders of the other main legions had to weigh their weight before they dared to persuade Chutian to change the heir.

Chu Tian turned a blind eye to Xia Xia Liang's approach. He knew that changing heirs at will would most likely lead to infighting among the forces, such as the split of Yuan Shao's son, which would give Cao Cao an opportunity.

Since Xia Xia Liang gave birth to the eldest son, he would directly be the heir. With Xia Xia Liang's ability, he could avoid the endless infighting in the harem.

At least Hua Mulan obeyed Xia Xia's cold words, and there was no fight.

Joan of Arc was docile and obedient after being trained in the summer.

Li Xiuning is Xia Xia Liang's retainer, and there is almost no possibility of betrayal.

Chu Tian didn't have to worry about the backyard, he was relieved, otherwise he might become the second Yuan Shao.

"Um."

Hua Mulan likes this child very much. She heard that she can be the child's mistress, and she is naturally happy with the overflowing motherhood.

"Yoshiko?"

Joan of Arc is inexplicably tied to the lord's mansion.

Xia Xian Liang went to great lengths to keep her.

"There is a successor in Xuzhou!"

The news that Xuzhou Mu Chu Zimou had a son spread, and the civil servants and generals of Xuzhou counties and states had their own thoughts, but overall the loyalty of civil servants and generals increased.

After Xuzhou had an heir, the power became stronger.

As a big businessman who thinks rare goods are livable, Mi Zhu can't help but secretly cry a pity. Mi Zhu wanted to push his sister Mi Shi to Chu Tian more than once, but Chu Tian always refused because he was too young. As a result, the identity of Uncle Guo is gone.

"This may be the best investment opportunity I have missed."

Mi Zhu deeply regrets.

The heirs of Xuzhou do not belong to any aristocratic clan, the Xuzhou clan cannot interfere, neither can the Yanzhou clan, each clan is powerless to control, and there is a Xia Liang who has enough prestige to suppress every clan behind it. signs.

At present, each family is basically in the faction of the eldest son.

After the birth of his son, Xuzhou Mu Chu Zimou had a preference for Xia Xia Liang, specially increased his salary, increased the number of maids, and cheekily asked Chang An to promote Xia Xia Liang as General Fubo.

Everyone in Xuzhou was happy, but some people were worried.

Cao Cao knew that Chu Tian went back to Langya to wait for the birth of his son.

Now that Xuzhou's rear is solid, it is Cao Cao who is unlucky.

Chutian can spare his hands and feet to attack Cao Cao.

Chutian suffered a lot in the battle of Xiaopei, and he was trying his best to recruit troops to supplement the losses. He bought 10,000 high-quality war horses from the nobles of Longxi in one go to make up for the loss of high-level cavalry, and recruited Yulin cavalry for Wei Qing.

After returning from the Battle of Mobei, Chu Tian used his exploits to exchange for a blueprint for the manufacture of Mingguang armor, and ordered craftsmen to build Mingguang armor to replace the equipment for the heavy cavalry.

Mingguang armor can strengthen the impact of heavy cavalry, and the three heavy cavalry of Ma Leng, Tang Dao, Ma armor, Hu Ben Army, Tunqiying, and Xiliang Iron Cavalry are more powerful.

The blacksmith shop in Xiacheng is running at full strength, building weapons and armor, and recruiting troops and horses for the barracks.

Chutian temporarily provided 3,000 people for Wei Qing's Yulin Cavalry.

The Yueqi battalion, Changshui battalion, and Tunqi battalion of the Fifth School of the Northern Army each had 3,000 troops. It will take at least half a year for the Fifth School of the Northern Army to be fully staffed.

The Hu Ben Army is relatively troublesome to supplement. The Hu Ben Army is the eighth-order heavy cavalry, and the armor, weapons, and war horses needed are expensive, and Chutian still has a thousand people.

"Chu Zimou has a successor who has granted his request."

Jiujiu Lao Qin, who controlled the Han court, agreed to Chutian's request to move Tianliang to be General Fubo.

Jia Xu and Jiujiu Lao Qin talked about the general trend of the world: "Chu Zimou's influence has already been established, and his territory is firm. If he wants to conquer his influence, I am afraid that it will not be successful in three or five years."

Jiujiu Lao Qin asked: "I have Li Si and Zhong Yao to govern Guanzhong. Guanzhong has a population of 10 million, and I can get 500,000 soldiers and crusade against Liangzhou. What do you think Wen He will win?"

Jia Xu said, "Forty or sixty percent, the enemy is four and we are six."

"Why is Longxi's winning rate so high?"

"Longxi is operated by different people and nobles, like a copper wall, it is difficult for the scouts to find out the details. Perhaps the powerful and powerful in Longxi rely on it."

"The trouble that Longxi has caused me is no less than the trouble that Tang has caused to Chu Zimou. I am more concerned about whether Mingguan has obtained Youzhou."

Jiujiu Lao Qin is looking for someone who can stop Chutian from dominating the Kanto region. One said that Tang was still unable to contain Chutian.

The second prince, probably from Hebei.

Youzhou, Youbeiping County, is full of beacon fires.

Prince Yan and Gongsun Zan were attacked by the Liaodong army and were in danger. Gongsun Zan led a team of cavalry out of the city to fight, but was easily defeated by the imperial generals Chang Yuchun and Murong Ba, and fled back to the city in embarrassment.

"Chu Zimou's son was born, but unfortunately I can't live without You Beiping now."

Prince Yan wanted to go to Xuzhou, but Mingguan stormed Youzhou, and he was too busy to take care of himself.

"Prince Yan, if you are defeated, you can lead Gongsun Zan and Di Qing to Monan, occupy a medium-sized city, develop it into a large city, establish a teleportation formation, and provide me with war horses. In the future, I will make you a prefect, general, and marquis. ."

When Prince Yan was unable to support, Chutian reminded Prince Yan to go to Monan for business and conquer the Xiongnu and Xianbei tribes in Monan.

"Go to Monan..."

Prince Yan was lost in thought.
