After Li Yan, Deng Zhi, and Zhuge Jin left, Liu Cong was still thinking about how to deal with Ganlu Temple.
There must be many temples like Ganlu Temple in the entire Chu Kingdom.
The world has been in turmoil for so long. Is it not just Ganlu Temple that has become bigger and stronger?
At the end of the Han Dynasty, you could have a population of 7,000. No wonder the people in the Southern and Northern Dynasties wanted to destroy Buddhism. All the money produced by these people in the temple belonged to the temple.
The monks are not registered with the government. If a monk commits a crime, it will be more difficult to arrest him. In addition, if there are really evil-minded bastards in the temple, it will be very detrimental to the rule of the country.
"Your Majesty?"

Duan Kun's voice came from outside.
Liu Cong pulled himself out of his thoughts and said to the door, "Come in."
"Squeak."
After Duan Kun opened the door and came in, he raised his hands to Liu Cong and said, "Your Majesty, the matter in Xuchang has not been completed."
"What happened in Xuchang? Xu Shu?" Liu Cong almost couldn't remember.
Duan Kun nodded and said, "Cao Cao guarded Xu Shu very tightly, and our people were ambushed."
Liu Cong sighed and said, "It's God's will. There's nothing I can do about it. It's just a pity that Xu Shu is such a talented person and has done these things. Cao Cao will not let him go."
"Your Majesty, Cao Cao has released the captured Jin Yiwei."
Liu Cong, who was sighing with regret, asked doubtfully, "Put it back?"
"Cao Cao said that Xu Shu can be given to the king, but in exchange for making a catapult!"

Liu Cong was stunned for a moment, then he chuckled, "Cao Mengde, Cao Mengde, you really have a good plan. Xu Shu doesn't want to work for you, so you use him to do business with Gu."
Duan Kun hesitated for a moment and then said to Liu Cong, "Your Majesty, the catapult is the military weapon of our great Chu. I think that even if this Xu Shu is talented, I can't trade him with the trebuchet."
Liu Cong laughed and stood up and walked towards Duan Kun, "Tongzhou, tell me, if you have a new robe, will you still be reluctant to throw away the old one?"
Duan Kun didn't quite understand what Liu Cong meant, "With the new robe, I will definitely be willing to throw away the old robe."
Liu Cong patted his shoulder, "That's right. Although I don't have a new robe now, my new robe is already being made."
"Besides, if Cao Mengde uses some tricks, he will have to get the catapult technology sooner or later. If the Chu State wants to suppress the Wei State and continue to become stronger, it cannot be complacent about its current achievements, let alone rest on its laurels."
As he spoke, Liu Cong's gaze became profound, "We must have the courage to explore and innovate! If we want to eliminate all enemies, we can only find ways to keep moving forward!"
"Go and send someone back to Xiangyang, and order Yi Ji, the Minister of Rites, to personally send an envoy to Xu Du and bring the catapult! Tell Cao Cao that Gu agrees to exchange the trebuchet for Xu Shu! In addition, print this matter in the newspaper and publicize it!"
"I obey."
After saying that, Liu Cong turned around and walked to his seat. After sitting down, he saw Duan Kun still standing there, "Anything else?"

Duan Kun quickly raised his hands and said, "Your Majesty, Cao Cao has led troops to Yongliang. As soon as Cao Cao arrived, the Wei army changed its previous defensive posture and started a battle with Liu Bei's army near Xiegu. The Shu army was defeated and suffered losses."
With that said, Duan Kun took out a silk book from his arms, stepped forward and handed it to Liu Cong.
"Liu Bei's army lost nearly 80,000 soldiers?"
Liu Cong looked at the battle report with some disbelief.
Duan Kun nodded and replied, "Liu Bei's Shu army has newly recruited soldiers and horses in recent years, and its combat effectiveness is naturally not as good as that of the powerful Wei army. In addition, the Wei army has crossbows and a large number of cavalry, which is also a disadvantage of the Shu army."
Liu Cong sighed and said, "It's a pity that I still thought that the two of them would have a good confrontation at Yongliang. I didn't expect that Liu Bei was so frail and weak."
"Where's Zhuge Liang? Didn't he also go out with the army? Didn't Liu Bei persuade him to fight Cao Cao?"
Duan Kun smiled and said, "Of course Zhuge Liang persuaded me. Unfortunately, Liu Bei's biggest dream in his life was to defeat Cao Cao. He believed that when the Wei army lost in Huainan and morale was low, this was a great opportunity to defeat the Wei army, so he didn't
Follow Zhuge Liang's advice and insist on going to war with Cao Cao."
Liu Cong chuckled and said, "Liu Bei has been chased by Cao Cao for most of his life. It's not surprising that he has this idea. Although Zhuge Kongming is a talented king and assistant, he can't stop Liu Xuande who is angry and raises an army. It's a pity. What a pity."
Liu Cong was not regretting Liu Bei's defeat, but regretting that Chu State had just experienced the Battle of Huainan and suffered huge losses. Otherwise, Liu Cong would definitely take advantage of this opportunity to destroy Liu Bei first!

With the map left by Zhang Song, Fa Zheng as an internal agent, plus catapults and repeated crossbows, the Chu army has a great chance of capturing Xichuan!
"We are in the same boat. I will write an order alone, and you will take it back to the Minister of Rites and write a poem to send him as an envoy to Liaodong! Wei Yan will lead 10,000 troops to send each other!"
Duan Kun raised his eyebrows slightly, "Your Majesty, we are just on an envoy to Liaodong. Why let General Wen Chang lead an army of 10,000 people? Otherwise, I can send a few Jin Yiwei to follow?"
"Um?"
"thump!"
Hearing Liu Cong's dissatisfied hum, Duan Kun immediately knelt down and said, "I made a mistake, please punish me!"
Duan Kun waited for a while and didn't hear Liu Cong's reply, but he heard Liu Cong's movement to get up, and he lowered his head and saw Liu Cong's feet.
The next second, Liu Cong's foot crushed the back of his hand hard!
Even so, Duan Kun did not dare to make a sound. Liu Cong scolded in a deep voice, "You are not allowed to question the decisions I made! You are just Gu's eagle dog. If you do things well, you will be rewarded. If you don't, you will be rewarded.
, I can find someone to replace you at any time!"
"I...acknowledge my guilt!"

Liu Cong then moved his feet away from the back of his hands and said, "Go down and do your work!"
"promise."
Liu Cong has always been on guard against Duan Kun. This guy dared to hijack him in the first place. How could he not be on guard?
However, Liu Cong did not want his officials to take charge of an organization like Jinyiwei that did dirty work. Duan Kun was the most suitable person. If anything happened in the future, he would be a good person to take the blame.
Although he was very satisfied with Duan Kun's work in recent years, and Liu Cong never found that Duan Kun had second thoughts. But Liu Cong never dared to really trust Duan Kun.
Back then, this person could kidnap him for the sake of his tribe, but what if one day he had different intentions for the sake of his dead tribesmen?
As the power of the Jinyiwei expanded, Duan Kun, the commander of the Jinyiwei, even the chief officials of the three provinces such as Jiang Wan and Pang Tong, had to give him some slack.
This has led to Duan Kun becoming more and more handsome in recent years. If he didn't do anything about it, he really thought he couldn't live without him.
Is Jinyiwei yours? I’m alone!
Thinking about it, Liu Cong's thoughts drifted elsewhere, "I wonder how Ma Jun and Guan Qiuxing are doing their research now?"

In order to get some clues about gunpowder, Liu Cong even went to the scientific research institute to get a group of thirty alchemists. As long as they exploded the cauldron once, it would prove that there was a gunpowder formula in the ingredients!
"Damn it, I was so focused on falling in love with the girls in the liberal arts class that I didn't even remember the recipe for gunpowder. When I met other fellow time-travelers, I was probably embarrassed to face them."
