44. That familiar taste, that stranger(1/2)
It actually only takes a few days to travel from Chaoge, the capital of Shang Dynasty, to Dunqiu, the destination of this trip.: 3w.
But in fact, Li Shushi and his party followed Di Xin for ten days on this road, and they couldn't even see Dunqiu's shadow.
Although they say they are going to fight a war, in fact this is an army in name, and indeed an army, but it doesn’t feel like an army at all. It looks like an outing organized by the king to enjoy the scenery.
The group would stop for various reasons from time to time along the way, and then host a banquet for guests, and the guests participating in the banquet were all of high level.
At least Li Shushi had never sneaked in even once. Even the most despicable corner of the banquet could not accommodate him.
The reason why he could know the number of banquets was because after each banquet, people of his level could get "food" from Emperor Xin. For most people, it was a rare delicacy, but for Li Shushi,
, I really can't whet my appetite - even game, if it is not prepared by an excellent chef, it will only make people feel all kinds of discomfort.
After all, compared with the food culture that has flourished under the joint development of Li Shushi and Su Xiaoluoli, it may be difficult for humans in this era to learn other cooking methods besides boiling and roasting, especially deep-frying, the root of delicious food.
.
So only wild boys like Wei Yan and Lu Meng would regard these things as delicacies in life. Didn’t you see that Cao Ren, Sima Yi and Yang Fu were all frowning? It’s a pity that there are no noodles here, otherwise the broth noodles would be barely edible.
.
"No matter how long we wait, this battle is inevitable. Although there are only a few of us, we can barely hold a pre-military meeting. After introducing the situation, everyone can talk freely. Anyway, this battle is probably
It's just a formality. Wei Yan, don't raise your hands yet. It's not time to speak yet. It's not too late to ask questions after the situation is introduced."
After saying that, he nodded slightly to Sima Yi. The little shot immediately jumped up as if it was loaded with springs.
It seems that even if he is really fake on weekdays, in fact he still has the passion of a boy inside, but he has no chance to release it on weekdays. After all, there is always a ghost around him that scares him, and he may even encounter something more terrifying.
matter.
Even if he knew that this dead ant was really frightening in the history of another dimension, it seemed too cruel to bully a young lady like this. Although every time he thought of the various things in his mind, Li Shushi couldn't help but feel sorry for him.
Su Xiaololi gave a thumbs up.
"The target of Emperor Xin's action this time is the Su family in Dunqiu, that is, Su Hu who was appointed by Emperor Xin as the Marquis of Jizhou a few years ago."
"What is the background of this Su Hu? It seems that the Lord once said that this is a difficult opponent. Is that what happened?"
Sima Yi was not angry at Wei Yan's sudden interruption. Instead, he looked at Li Shushi, as if he was begging for something.
Although Li Shushi is always very self-effacing, if he is placed in this small group, it has to be said that his knowledge is relatively broad. Although the families of Xiahou Juan and Cao Ren have sufficient educational resources,
One is a girl, and the other was a wanderer who did not like reading when he was young.
I understand now that I know the importance of reading, but besides military books and strategies, my main focus is on laws and regulations. Coupled with the heavy work, it can be said that I have little time to study other miscellaneous books. As for Chen Dao, Lu Meng and Wei Yan,
At best, it can only be counted as a single family, and they all like martial arts, so naturally they don't have the opportunity to read many books.
Only disciples with family backgrounds like Yang Fu and Sima Yi will have access to more information. So even if these people don't understand what Sima Yi just said means, it's actually not that surprising.
By the way, even in modern society, if you pick up a random person on the street and ask him, "Who was Su Hu of the Shang Dynasty?", I'm afraid 30% of the time he won't be able to answer.
So Li Shushi smiled and nodded, and Sima Yi understood what he should do next.
"Su Hu is the leader of the Su clan in northern Yuzhou. He is very powerful and the land he occupies is very fertile..."
"Let me interject, if you can't understand, just think about the current situation in Wen County, Hanoi County and its surrounding areas."
"Wow, it turns out it's Zhongda's hometown. It seems we don't need a guide for this battle. Just let Zhongda come."
"General Zixiao was joking. The Yellow River often floods and its course changes frequently. Not to mention that there is a difference of more than a thousand years between this illusion and the era we live in. Even if the difference is only a hundred years, huge changes will occur in many places. So maybe
Some of my memories will help you, but they may also lead to wrong guidance, so please don’t relax on the reconnaissance side."
"I definitely agree with Zhongda in this regard, so if someone loses his life due to carelessness, don't blame others for laughing at him."
"...Then let me continue the explanation."
Li Shushi actually said nonsense, because the current Cao Ren is not the frivolous knight errant of the past. He is not by Li Shushi's side for nothing. After several years of leading troops, Cao Ren only observed what he used to do.
After imitating the behavior of veteran generals such as Lu Bu, Gao Shun and Qu Yi, I gained a deeper understanding, so what I said just now was just a joke.
Of course, Li Shushi's nonsense was also teasing Cao Ren. Anyway, given the current status of the two people, it is probably only in a place like this that they can be ridiculed without any scruples - although in fact, in the real world, the scruples of the two people are actually not the same.
not much.
"Nowadays, among the four princes of the Shang Dynasty, Xibohou Jichang, Nanbohou E Chongyu, and Dongbohou Jiang Hengchu serve as the three ministers of the imperial court. They are the assistant ministers second only to Taishi Wenzhong, while the position of Beibohou is in the predecessor's position.
Beibohou Li Changyin remained vacant for many years after his death. Therefore, this time Su Hu was appointed Marquis of Jizhou. There are rumors that this was a sign that Emperor Xin was preparing to make him the new Beibohou.
However, some people in the court were not satisfied with this appointment. One of the representatives was Chong Hu, the leader of another powerful tribe in northern Yuzhou, the Chong clan. The territory of the Chong clan is in today's Henan area, and its strength cannot be underestimated.
.More than goods
It was rich, so it was probably because they gave Fei Zhong and Eilai a lot of wealth, so they spread the song of the imperial court. The daughter of Hou Suhu of Jizhou was very beautiful. She originally loved Emperor Xin, but was blocked by her father.
, so I have no face to see you, and I am suspected of deceiving you."
"This rumor doesn't sound very shrewd, and it can be easily cracked. Speaking of which, as long as Su Hu sacrifices his daughter, wouldn't everything be peaceful? Or is it actually that Su Hu's daughter is too ugly, just like that...
...Yes. Same as without salt."
"No. On the contrary, Su Hu's daughter is indeed very beautiful, and her beauty is enough to make anyone lose their mind... But maybe the lord will be the only exception. Even if the lord can't do it, he will probably be better than the two ladies.
You can do it if you remind me."
Hey, hey, hey. Sure enough, your real attribute as a dead ant is that you are a villain. You can find opportunities to hack me.
But looking at Xia Houjuan's eagerness to give it a try, Li Shushi still said that even if the beauty was really comparable to a heavenly being, he would never be tempted. After all, whether it was a lolita at home or a few mythical beasts that often bullied him...
Where does immunity come from? Isn't it just that I grew up in abuse again and again? And maybe because of my cleanliness, I might be able to get some "spiritual consolation prizes" from my lolita after I go out. I don't know.
Bar.
"Since Su Hu's daughter is very beautiful, why do you think Zhongda is so vicious about this strategy? I seem to have heard about Fei Zhong somewhere. It's not a good thing, so what I came up with should definitely not be like this.
Just keep it simple."
"General Zixiao is right. Although Su Hu's daughter is indeed as beautiful as a fairy, I don't think the focus of Fei Zhong's strategy should be here. According to the information obtained, Di Xin's original queen is dead, and now his
There is only one high-status woman in the Hou Palace, and that is Dong Bohou Jiang Hengchu.
Daughter Jiang. This Dongbohou was originally from Dongyi. Emperor Xin used Wen Zhong as his commander to attack Dongyi and demoted dozens of tribes. Among them, the Jiang tribe of Jiang Hengchu was said to have the blood of Emperor Yan Shennong.
He was able to donate his daughter and promised to guard the East for Emperor Xinmu, so he was given the title of Dongbohou.
However, it is said that this woman was indifferent and did not know how to please because of her noble birth, so Emperor Xin was extremely unhappy. However, in order to consolidate the newly developed land, he established a new queen after the queen's death. But in the past few years, Dongfeng
It was difficult for Bohou to defend his territory, and various tribes in Dongyi rebelled from time to time.
, Emperor Xin had to send troops and horses many times to suppress it. I believe that after these few days, you must have discovered that the Shang Dynasty's current finances have been dragged down by the Dongyi people who are constantly rebellious, just like the Qiang people were to me, the Han Dynasty.
, if things continue like this, the country will fall.
So there is another news that Emperor Xin has issued a notice to tribal leaders everywhere, asking them to donate their noble daughters. If nothing happens, Empress Jiang and Dong Bohou will probably be deposed by Emperor Xin
, I just don’t know when it will happen.”
"In other words, even if Su Hu offers his daughter, he may be regarded as the second Dong Bohou and be jealous. In addition, if his daughter does not know how to please, even if she is beautiful, she cannot be the only one.
, so he still has to implicate his father?"
"Ziming is right, this should be Fei Zhong's consideration. After discussing with the lord, Yishan and I still believe that Fei Zhong's move is fundamentally to lower Su Hu's status in Emperor Xin's heart. Just imagine.
, Emperor Xin was trapped in the palace, and issued a notice ordering all places to donate noble girls. At this time, it was reported that Su Hu had a female princess.
What should Emperor Xin be thinking about not offering the beauty? If Su Hu presented an ugly woman, he might be suspected by Emperor Xin of hiding his daughter; if Su Hu presented a beautiful woman, the suspicion would be confirmed.
No matter what kind of situation occurs, Fei Zhong can achieve the idea of lowering Su Hu's status in Di Xin's heart.
Therefore, even if Su Hu has a daughter who is the most beautiful and good at flattering, in the end, Su Hu is no longer liked by Emperor Xin, and Chong Hu can take advantage of this opportunity to successfully become Beibei Hou, even if Su Hu plans to use the power of his daughter
, but it is impossible to shake this decision. At least with Di Xin's strength, he will never admit that he has been deceived, and may even hate Su Hu even more."
"Speaking of Zhongda, what use are you telling us to this war? Why can't I understand it at all?"
"No, the lord just wants me to remind everyone that this guy Fei Zhong is definitely not easy to mess with. Although we are not afraid of death, no one knows when this journey will end, because this journey is very likely to end.
It’s very long. It’s so long that we may even worry about whether the outside world will change drastically after we wake up. So if you don’t want to end this trip early and miss those potentially wonderful scenery, then please be sure
Be cautious."
"Of course, you don't need to be too restrained. It's just a fantasy anyway. If something really happens that you have no choice but to do, it doesn't matter if you vent it freely. Anyway, it won't be a big deal for me to do it again - as long as I have the materials.
"
"Then, lord, I think we can get to the point now."
"It's the main topic, but it's actually a bunch of things to note, but I've said so much anyway. Let's drink a glass of water first."
"Thank you for your concern, my lord... Then let me talk about the core of the issue this time. It is what position to take in this war. Wei Yan, don't raise your hands in a hurry again, let me finish what I say next, and you will all
You can understand what I mean."
Well, once again ignoring "Curious Baby" Wei Yan's question, Sima Yi just exuded a little bit of indifferent aura and directly made him retreat. Although he was trained miserably by a certain lolita, it didn't look like it.
Didn't you learn something?
"You may be familiar with the name of Su Hu's daughter. She is the famous witch Daji."
"How's it going? What do you think~" Feeling the obviously sudden change in the atmosphere, Li Shushi said that her smile was definitely not evil.
"No wonder my lord said that this battle is not easy to fight. Just like Longdi Dong, if you don't fight well, it won't work. But if you fight too well, you won't be marked by this witch, and she will use that kind of cannon for us in the future.
To be continued...
