"It was so convenient when I went out to play in the past. I waved and everyone left with a 'hoo!'. How can it be like now where you have to pick and choose and carry a lot of things and be a postman? Unfortunately,
ah……"
"Silk Road~Silk Road~Silk Road~Silk Road~Great Silk Road~" Li Shushi's complaint was quickly "suppressed" by Su Xiaololi's singing, but this "Silk Road family (Note 1)" really
Isn't there a problem? If it spreads, won't it make a certain great devil become furious? Well, maybe those who are furious should be those young people who were the dung of the Celestial Dynasty.
Except for Li Shushi, all the fellow travelers were very happy. Not only could they travel at public expense, but they also had the opportunity to fight with the Qiang people in the northwest. This made the officers and soldiers, whose self-confidence had greatly increased after the battle with the Xianbei people, feel like they were gearing up.
Although the other generals who failed to get the opportunity to travel at public expense were a little reluctant, because they had heavy burdens during Li Shushi's departure, they could only see off Li Shushi and his party with a resentful look on their faces. Among them, the one with the most resentful expression
It’s the fighting madman Lu
Bu and Cheng Lian were the two guys. Especially Cheng Lian, the aggrieved look on Wei Yue's face made Wei Yue feel like going forward and beating him into a flying star. Fortunately, Cheng Lian didn't.
The habit of biting handkerchiefs, otherwise even Li Shushi would probably be tempted to take action.
The civil servants did not feel so much. After all, the northwest battlefield was still too dangerous and not very attractive to them. Dian Wei, Xu Chu, Zhao Yun, Zhang Xiu, Cao Xing, Wei Yue, Le Jin and Liao Chun were like this
At one time, the main generals of Li Shushi's so-called "Xihe Mercenary Group" also included a powerful wet nurse and dancer and a "sinister" Taoist priest and musician.
Naturally, the nanny and dancer refers to Su Xiaololi, who our family loves to see cars... But in order to prevent her face from causing too much trouble in the war zone, Li Shushi had to strictly order her to wear a headscarf to cover her face.
Of course, that face that does harm to others is euphemistically called: protecting the delicate skin of a certain lolita.
The other one was recommended by Cao Ren. The biggest discovery in the Battle of Zhongyang came from Zhang Hui and Zhang Jianuo of Hongdu School.
In fact, when Zhang Hui was first recommended by Cao Cao, Cao Ren didn't pay much attention to him. After talking with him, he found that he was smart, clear-minded and talented in literature, so he thought that he was indeed a young man from a poor family with good character and talent.
The reason why I brought him to Zhongyang was to use his wisdom and magical abilities. After all, apart from poisoning, what Taoist priests are best at is applying various debuffs to the enemy, and then using this to change the balance of the battle balance.
But what I didn't expect was that although Zhang Hui's main profession was a Taoist priest, his secondary profession turned out to be a relatively rare military band. He used his flute to save Zhongyang City from failure and Cao Ren's little boy.
life.
Of course, if Li Shushi could have known Zhang Hui's occupation at that time, he would have been able to open the city gates and fight the Xianbei people long ago, because although Xihe was not as wealthy as the Central Army and carried several war drums made of precious exotic animal skins,
But how many
There are also ordinary-grade war drums. Although the blessings are naturally much different, they are enough to cause the Xianbei people to suffer a big loss if combined with some other means. Unfortunately, Cao Ren does not know the goods, and Zhang Hui does not want to do more about it.
Mention, this resulted in such a result.
But things are different now. After the Battle of Zhongyang, not only did Cao Ren realize the value of Zhang Jie again, but even old Confucian scholars like Lu Zhi and Yan Zhong had to admit that those Hongdu disciples who were better at playing and playing than Confucian classics
The role of learned scholars on the battlefield may not be much lower than theirs. It's just that in a man like the Han Dynasty who has a strong atmosphere of Confucian classics, if a high-ranking official wants to obtain two thousand shi, he basically has no other choice but to rely on eunuchs.
But who is Li Shushi? He is a type of two thousand stone. He is not recommended like ordinary officials - go to Beijing to get a rank of Langguan - be released according to the rank of Langguan - return to Beijing to get
The path of a higher-level Langguan-external link-central position, coupled with the fact that he does not have a noble background, so he has no taboos in using people.
It is precisely because of this that Zhang Hui, a young man who played a greater role on the battlefield than off the battlefield, became one of Li Shushi's traveling entourage. However, in Li Shushi's opinion, another reason why this man was brought in was probably because of this guy.
His excellent ability to play musical instruments can give everyone a chance to listen to music and soothe their mood after a hard day.
As for the other members of the Xihe Mercenary Group, they are mainly composed of Li Shushi's personal guard Xiliang Cavalry and hundreds of cavalry archers trained by Cao Xingshun. As for Li Shushi's Guards Thief Troops and Martial Artist Team, a team that is good at mountain warfare will be used
In the military operations across the mountains to support counties such as Taiyuan, Yanmen and Shangdang, the other was good at street fighting to prevent possible rebellions by Hu slaves.
Although Cheng Yu hoped to bring a group of light cavalry as a supplement, Li Shushi considered that firstly, if he brought the light cavalry, the team would be too large, and secondly, the light cavalry was better at killing the Qiang cavalry at close range than the Xiliang cavalry.
It's really a bit of a disadvantage. Although the soldiers are allowed to lose a certain amount to ensure the mobility of the soldiers, it will never be annihilated.
But at the last moment, Su Xiaololi had to find out to her dejection that there was another troll with the potential to make a fool of herself - the Tuoba who reunited the already-divided Tuoba tribe in history.
Ba Liwei.
This is actually a little trick of Li Shushi. He threw the children brought by Tuoba Liwei to Hu Zhao, who was good at educating students, so that they could receive instruction. And brought their core and leader Tuoba Liwei with him
, then after a year of edification, the thoughts of these Xianbei children who have lost their leader will inevitably move closer to the Han people. As for their leader Tuoba Liwei, Li Shushi believes that with the level of Su Xiaoluoli, a top psychology master,
The little kid is still at your fingertips.
Of course, it would be even more perfect if Tuoba Liwei's thoughts could be deceived. Li Shushi, such as Gao Xianzhi, Ge Shuhan, Hei Te Changzhi (note 2), etc., has always been yearning for him. He said that his mind is so big
But it's quite broad.
Well, Li Shushi is full of integrity. This title should be quite good. This shows that the bottle of integrity in Li Shushi's heart is neither too broken nor too empty to be repaired, nor is it so empty that it would make people burst into tears when looking at it. Hmm~
In addition to "traveling around" during this trip to the northwest, I also had a very important mission, which was to be a postman.
Speaking of which, although not many of Li Shushi's men were from Xiliang, they were all strong men. Whether it was Yan Zhong from Hanyang, Qu Yi from Jincheng, or Jia Xu from Wuwei, behind everyone was a strong man.
There is quite a bit of
Li Shushi went here not only to bring the news that the three people were safe to the other party's family, but also to find some local people in the northwest who could help him. As the saying goes, if a general from Kansai is good, a prime minister from Kanto will be good (this was in that era
proverb).
Due to the war in the northwest, except for Zhang Ji who sent letters to Xihe from Chang'an, Xijing, which basically had no impact, the rest of Liangzhou's information and communication was basically paralyzed. Although some news could occasionally be spread, it was not
But there are only a few.
Among the three, the one who is most worried about the family is Qu Yi, whose family is in Jincheng County. After all, Xipingting, where the Qu family is located, is located on the edge of Huangzhong, not too far from Anyi County, where Yi Cong gathers in Huangzhong.
.And the Qu family was able to gain a foothold there and give birth to a general like Qu Yi and the fierce soldiers under his command, all through confrontation with the most ferocious nomads.
But precisely because of this, the Qu family also offended the local barbarians, including Qiang and Lu Shuihu. This large-scale Qiang rebellion was definitely a very big test for the Qu family. Qu Yihe
Although the athletes brought by his subordinates from Jincheng County were not too worried about the destruction of their family, after all, Qiang chaos occurred in the area only once or twice, it was only natural for people to still worry about it.
Yan Zhong's request was what Li Shushi was most interested in, because he remembered that there was a strongman named Yan in Liangzhou. Although he didn't know if he was related to Yan Zhong, he thought that based on Yan Zhong's reputation in Xiliang, even if both parties had no relationship at all.
It doesn't matter, the other party will come to join him. But a guy who can bully Ma Chao to a great defeat cannot give up.
Yes, the person Li Shushi was interested in was a character named Yan Xing who was mentioned only a few times in the Romance of the Three Kingdoms. Of course, the character who was not listed separately in the Romance of the Three Kingdoms did not even have a shadow in the novel.
None, maybe his achievements have too damaged the reputation of the "Mighty General" Ma Chao, just like Chen Dao who merged with Zhao Yun.
With longing for the northwest, expectations for the battlefield, and curiosity about the unknown enemy, Li Shushi led the Xihe mercenary group on the journey to Xiliang. The first stop was Jing Zhaoyin! In fact, it was Chang'an.
Where you are.
Of course, because he was traveling, Li Shushi did not choose to go over the Luliang Mountains and take the Hongnong route via Hedong. Although in that case, he would be either within his own jurisdiction or in the core area ruled by the Han Dynasty, and his safety would be absolutely guaranteed.
Having seen most of the scenery, he now
He also didn’t go to Hongnong to visit those famous and powerful people (the bigger reason is that even if he had this intention, they probably wouldn’t see him, just like in Wen County), plus there are hundreds of elite soldiers and generals around him.
It is easy to attract the attention of local officials and cause countless troubles. After all, it is a core area.
Therefore, Li Shushi finally chose to cross the river from Mengmengguan, which was being renovated in Lin County, Xihe County, to Lejie on the other side of the Yellow River. He then took the road north to Yuanyang and Yuanyin counties, and then took the road west to Qiuci, where the captain of the vassal state of Shangjun was located.
County, because Su Xiaoluo
Li is very interested in the music of Kucha. Although this place was once plundered by the Xiongnu, there has been no large-scale relocation of the local people. Presumably, she should be able to find the descendants of the Kucha people who are good at singing and dancing to satisfy Su Xiaololi's desire.
desire.
Next, we will go all the way south, passing through Fushi, the governor of Shangjun, to Fengyi County, one of the three auxiliaries, known as Zuo Fengyi. On the way, we will most likely pass by a place called Gaonu. Although this place is not famous now, it is
As a newcomer who was born in heaven and grew up under the red flag, it is worthwhile to visit Gaonu, because in the future this place will have another name, which is the Holy Land - Yan'an.
It is said that even after two thousand years, some ruins of the city wall in Gaonu County can still be seen. But now there is probably no pagoda mountain. But maybe people will mention it when they read "The Travels of Ancestor X" in the future.
?
So Li Shushi couldn't help but have wild thoughts again...
Note 1: The author of the Tuanzi family, Ma Zhi, must be a big devil (correct).
Note 2: They are all famous foreign generals from the Tang Dynasty. Among them, Gao Xianzhi is of Goguryeo descent, Ge Shuhan is a Turk, and Hei Te Changzhi is from Baekje.
