54. The feeling of going up and down – this really isn’t an elevator
Why did Li Shushi travel thousands of miles from the safe and comfortable place of Jinyang to the edge of the dangerous battlefield? Is it really just to accompany a certain loli to travel around as he said?
Even if he is indeed not a brilliant and brilliant person, he is definitely not a blind, deaf, and enterprising person who thinks he can live happily. Maybe he is exaggerated or even blind, but he definitely understands the trend of this era.
One of those people who is more aware of it naturally understands that the chaos in the Han territory has just begun.
Not to mention that even if a certain loli is really so reckless, there are Ma Qing, Zhen Xiaololi and other female relatives who have been educated by traditional Chinese aristocratic women and are responsible for helping their men achieve their political ambitions. They also have a lot of temper outside.
The upright Cheng Yu, the emperor
Officials like Fu Song who dared to speak out and give advice, and Tong Yuan, who had a complicated relationship with Li Shushi - it can be said that unless Li Shushi planned to learn from Shang Zhou's approach, he really had to consider the consequences of his actions.
chain reaction.
But let me say something secretly: You absolutely cannot rule out the possibility that Su Xiaololi can subdue all the opponents one by one... 囧.
Ahem...
Therefore, no matter whether he is close to people like Zhao Yun or Zhang Jia, or unfamiliar wise men like Ju Shou or Shen Ping, they will definitely not believe his excuses. Even for the latter two, Li Shushi's intention has been revealed by now.
It was basically lice on his bald head - it was really clear, or it should be said that Li Shushi didn't intend to cover it up too much from the beginning.
His current method can be summed up in just four words - distant friendship and close attack.
Of course, although it can be condensed into four words, these four words conceal too many things.
Jizhou, this large state that basically captures one-third of the North China Plain, has a huge population and rich products. It is an area that can become the foundation of any prince who is aspiring to the world.
Although Jizhou lost a large number of people after the Yellow Turban Rebellion, thanks to the efforts of Huangfu Song and Jia Cong, two state shepherds and governors, as well as the fertile soil of Jizhou, the recovery here is still better than other parts of the North China Plain.
area.
Li Shushi may not be very interested in fighting for world hegemony, but he also doesn't mind expanding his territory if he can. After all, he also wants to understand that lack of strength is an excuse for forbearance, but if he has enough strength, he can't.
Achieving some good deeds that are within your own ability is obviously a waste of natural resources.
Perhaps this is what an ancient person later said: "If you are poor, you can benefit yourself; if you are rich, you can help the world."
At least in Li Shushi's view, the people's life under his rule was obviously better than that of most princes.
Perhaps this view is a bit half-baked, but Bingzhou under Li Shushi's rule has indeed been regarded as a paradise in the past few years. Not to mention that this idea has also received active support from his subordinates.
Of course, Li Shushi knew very well that apart from the fact that he had indeed made certain achievements, it was also because it was a pretty good excuse for expansion, at least to make Li Shushi, who had never had much ambition or motivation, willing to
As an excuse to work hard, only God knows whether it will turn into the Han version of "yellow robe and body" in the end.
Anyway, despite the various thoughts of Li Shushi's group of people, it seems to be very complicated. In fact, it can be said clearly in one sentence: grab money, food, and women, and meritorious service and promotion to protect your wife.
only……
Yuan Shao's performance of sweeping the entire Jizhou in a short period of time and quickly settling down the land he gained was really too domineering. If he hadn't sent Zhao Yun's troops as a test, and smelled something from the Zhen family's reaction,
It's a bad taste. Maybe the situation Li Shushi has to face at this time is far from as leisurely as it is now. If he doesn't pay attention, he will fall into a quagmire.
Don't say that Li Shushi was hypersensitive, because both the powerful people in Bingzhou and the aristocratic families in Lianghe had left too many "good" memories for Li Shushi.
So after getting the news from Zhao Yun that Yuan Shao was fully prepared, Li Shushi basically gave up the thought of getting involved in Jizhou in a short period of time. Who knows that he is not a child of the Long family and does not have such a bunch of heaven-defying abilities.
But it was precisely for this reason that Li Shushi did not want Yuan Shao to become bigger and stronger so quickly.
After all, Li Shushi had fought directly or indirectly many times with this one of the most influential figures in the late Eastern Han Dynasty since the time he challenged Dong. Although it could be said that there was a win or loss, and generally speaking, Li Shushi still had a slight advantage, but once
At that time, Li Shushi was not the opponent's primary target. Secondly, it was also because the opponent not only only had one county at that time, but also tended to be more ideologically inclined to the court.
The thinking mode of fighting, and at the same time, the allies around them are like bedfellows with different dreams, and they all have their own agendas. Not to mention that they can't do everything they can, even a small wish like not to hold each other back has become a luxury.
. Yuan Shao, who danced with shackles like this, naturally could not use all his talents, and he could only do nothing when Bingzhou, which was more united in comparison, gained the upper hand.
Now that Jizhou is acquired, Yuan Shao can be said to be a fierce dragon returning to the sea, and a golden scale meeting the storm. No matter how the history books of another plane belittle the Hebei overlord in that plane, one thing that cannot be changed is that he has not yet
Yuan Shao, who captured Jizhou, already had the ability to influence major events in the world, and Yuan Shao, who captured Jizhou, almost completed his hegemony with this.
And what about Li Shushi?
Although a trip to the Western Regions completed a step outside the outside world, it also weakened the difficult neighbor in the north and alleviated the pressure from the north. Later, he took over Shuozhou, doubling the area under his jurisdiction out of thin air, and the war deepened.
and potential have been greatly improved.
But, but but, but but...
It is not an exaggeration to say that the chess pieces laid out in the Western Regions will be difficult to use in a short period of time, or even never be used. After all, it is not an exaggeration to territorialize the land in the hands of a group of guys who are used to occupying land.
It can be done in just a few years, but it requires a combination of political, military, economic and other means and several generations to make new habits deeply ingrained.
The Great Qin Empire, which had lasted for more than a hundred years, managed to survive until its death in the third generation. The biggest external reason was the remnants of many countries and their supporters who took advantage of the opportunity to cause trouble.
At the same time, there are many forces around the Western Region such as Xianbei, Kushan, and the upcoming Sassanid. Even if they are suppressed by Li Shushi through various means, they will never mind adding obstacles to Li Shushi at the right time.
In addition, even Li Shushi did not dare to say that he was 100% clear about what the Queen of Wusun was thinking.
Therefore, even if the current general environment in the Western Region is very favorable to me, the investment there is destined to be a long-term investment, and what I will get is only long-term returns. It is very difficult to see any gains in the short term.
Something that is worth the loss.
Except maybe for a certain child who will probably come into the world without any problems?
In this way, we can understand why Yuan Shao's rapid rise gave Li Shushi such a great sense of urgency - even though Li Shushi did not have any big ambitions now, he never wanted to easily succeed with his efforts.
The thing in other people's pockets, and you have become the prey of the other party, waiting to be slaughtered by the other party.
then……
Attack the opponent and weaken the opponent. Even if you are temporarily unable to move eastward, you must not make Yuan Shao feel better. It is best to let him completely give up the idea of going westward and go to the east to fight with Qingzhou, Youzhou and even Xuzhou...
The superficial reasons are of course high-sounding, but Li Shushi's inner worries are actually not unsuspected. It's just that having an opponent like Yuan Shao can arouse Li Shushi's desire to compete. No matter how you look at it, it's a good deal.
Buy and sell.
After all, the young eagle needs to go through the wind and rain before he has the courage and skills to fight in the sky. Li Shushi also needs constant training to improve step by step and become a more ideal lord in the minds of those people.
Besides, he has our powerful and lovely Su Xiaololi by his side, making his safety the only thing he doesn’t need to worry about.
Of course, if it is just to weaken Yuan Shao, Li Shushi's trip will still not be cost-effective after all.
After all, although Yuan Shao is powerful, Bingzhou has been studying this opponent for a long time and has made a lot of preparations. But for other princes, Bingzhou's preparations are obviously not that sufficient. Especially when facing people like Gongsun Zan
This seems to be quite sane, but from time to time there will be an angry and angry character, which will definitely become a nerve-wracking variable.
Not to mention that Liu Yu, who is hiding behind the scenes, is also a big trouble for Bingzhou. The loyal minister of the Han Dynasty who has the aura of blessing from the clan clan of the Han Dynasty and was appointed as the Grand Sima by Dong Zhuo is definitely an uneasy factor, because you
We will never know what decisions he made for the sake of loyalty in his heart.
The most disturbing thing is that this clan member not only has enough fame, but also has the means to match it. Although he does not look ostentatious on the surface, as a bystander, Li Shushi knows very well that it was with his support that he originally occupied the
Yuan Shao, who had the right time, place and people, could only gain a slight upper hand in the confrontation with Gongsun Zan.
Just think about if he used the political wisdom he used on Yuan Shao on himself...
The big purge in Hedong certainly made people feel enlightened, but this kind of thing only happens once or twice. Doing it too much will leave too many negative consequences, no matter whether you plan to continue to expand or stabilize.
Anyone who defends themselves will face an unfavorable situation.
Therefore, in this battle, the birds that Li Shushi, who was hiding in the dark, wanted to attack were by no means limited to the shining golden Yuan Benchu.
But what I never expected was that the first people to be hit would be a group of familiar "strangers".
"I have imagined the scene when we meet again in my dreams countless times, including intimacy, and life and death fights for our masters on the battlefield. However, I never imagined that it would be in such a situation. This is Yuan Benchu
In the battle with Gongsun Zan, Meng De came here out of righteousness in order to repay Yuan Benchu for his help, but what about you? What are you doing for!"
After finally defeating two tricky attacks from his opponent, he had the opportunity to widen the distance between them again. Only then did Xiahou Dun have time to take a good look at his opponent opposite him, only to look at his violently rising and falling chest.
, you can imagine how much pressure he endured in the previous confrontation.
This made Xiahou Dun secretly frightened, and at the same time, he couldn't help but feel a bit of despair in his heart.
It is said that after the "Three British Battles against Wang Yue", the three people who participated in the battle - Xiahou Dun, Zhang Fei and Cheng Pu can be said to have benefited a lot from it.
Although Wang Yue's extremely strong posture caused the three people to suffer a defeat that might be rare in their lives, and even experienced the ups and downs of narrowly escaping from death when they stepped into the front hall of the Palace of Hell and were only half a step away from the main hall,
But after all, Wang Yue did not really kill the three of them, otherwise they would never have the chance to be rescued by Xiantao later.
After all, Wang Yue, who was at the peak of martial arts at that time, was fighting against three juniors who were basically at the level of raw jade. Even with just exquisite moves, he could make the three of them hit the street after a hundred moves, just like Zhang Xiu played with Dian Wei back then.
That way. Not to mention Wang
In addition to the unrivaled strength and agility brought by the top-level military potential, the grasp of every ounce of power is even more wonderful, and it is still better than Huang Zhong. If it weren't for the thought of cherishing the younger generation in his heart,
The three of them might not even be able to withstand thirty moves.
Don't forget that the lack of tacit understanding between the three people belonging to the three families will also give Wang Yue, a master of martial arts, a lot of opportunities.
Of course, the high level of actual combat and the experience of life and death gave the three of them a lot of understanding of martial arts.
It's just that in comparison, his qualifications are far inferior to Zhang Fei. Although Xiahoudun's Cheng Pu has the most practical experience among the three, what he can comprehend is still not comparable to the other two. But even so, Cheng Pu still has a lot of experience.
Pu has become one of the best among Sun Jianjun (perhaps now he should be called Sun Cejun), but his upper limit is destined to be unable to compare with the other two.
As for who got more between Zhang Sanye and Xiahou Dun, it's a matter of opinion. After all, the gap in qualifications between the two is not a huge gap, and when Xiahou Dun was in Bingzhou, he also consulted and competed with various masters in the Bingzhou army.
, In addition, his family background is better than that of the Zhang family in Zhuoxian County, and he can hire experienced martial arts masters to help him train his body since he was a child, but he is a little higher than the third master.
But no matter how he compares, Xiahou Dun feels that he has made great progress compared to before, especially after thoroughly digesting and assimilating those precious experiences during this period, he has been able to gradually suppress what he could have done in private competitions.
Cao Ren, who had the upper hand, became the well-deserved leader in military force among Cao's army.
It is precisely because of this kind of confidence that it is understandable that Xiahou Dun, a man who is very competitive, wants to compete with those opponents that he could not imagine in the past, and even win in battle.
It was with such courage (zuo) (si) that when he saw Zhao Yun appear on the battlefield, he rushed over without saying a word - firstly, naturally to show his ambition, and secondly, he felt that
Looking at the entire Yuan Shaojun and Cao Caojun armies, I am afraid that no one except themselves can defeat each other.
The wish is so beautiful, but the reality always seems so cruel.
Xiahou Dun has indeed made a lot of progress, at least under Zhao Yun's relentless offensive, he has been able to sustain himself until now, and has accomplished things that were completely impossible to do before.
But his resistance ended here, because in just a dozen rounds, Xiahou Dun found that his physical strength was almost exhausted, and his momentum was at the end of his strength. Obviously, Zhao Yun's superb snake spear of eight feet was not so easy to resist.
.
However, Xiahou Dun is worthy of being Xiahou Dun. He didn't even think of questioning the other party until this moment, instead of just talking nonsense before the war, giving each other some mental debuffs, and then blowing the gong to start the fight with the tragic "life and death of friends" scene.
Phase diagram" or something like that.
Should I say that this guy really has the potential to be stupid?
"My lord has been ordered to punish thieves. If Yuan Rang still has a sense of shame, he will dismount and accept surrender. My lord will not be in trouble."
Comparatively speaking, Zhao Yun can be regarded as one of the more honest people in the Bingzhou Army, otherwise he would not have been fooled by Li Shushi. He would have added something like "Wannian Xiaoshou" on his attribute label
It's a rare evaluation (has it really not increased yet), but no matter what Zhao Yun said, it's the same
A smart person whose intellectual potential exceeds the passing line can barely switch to a civil service career after being watered by the fruit. Therefore, he has been following a bunch of scumbags for a long time, and now he has to deal with a quasi-natural person like Xiahou Dun who is stupid from time to time.
Dai's verbal attack seems quite easy.
Not to mention that the reasons given by Zhao Yun are quite tenable. After all, the title of rebel thief that the Emperor (Dong) Emperor (Zhuo) put against the Dong Alliance Army a while ago has not been lifted yet. Although it was once
The two hostile parties are now clearing the door, regardless of the frost on the other side's roof. But if Li Shushi really used this name to attack Yuan Shao, Dong Zhuo would definitely give twelve green lights.
So after a brief exchange of words, Xiahou Dun was very depressed to find that not only did he not gain any advantage over the other party, but if he had not been loyal to Cao Cao, he would have had negative emotions of anxiety and guilt in his heart.
You will definitely lose if you fight, and you won't gain the upper hand by delaying with words. Retreating will let the opponent go into the sea, and the effect will only be more destructive than the third master Zhang Siege Hammer just now, even if it is a stalemate
Go down, but the current situation is that my physical strength has been exhausted.
It has reached a dangerous level but the opponent seems to be calm and composed. Xiahou Dun is not arrogant enough to think that the opponent is just showing off. Even if he can consume a lot of energy from the opponent in the previous battle, the opponent's style is already weird and erratic, which saves the most energy.
.
As a result, Xiahou Dun's children's shoes felt a little depressed for a while.
The outcome of the battle between Zhao Yun and Xiahou Dun seems to be quite consistent with the overall battlefield situation.
Even though the soldiers and horses participating in the battlefield on the Bingzhou side were only a mere two thousand, they were either elite soldiers who had been fighting for a long time or Li Shushi's personal guard army. Even if Dian Wei and Xu Chu did not show up for some reason, the younger generation
Galen, Xin Zhao
, the collective performance of Pan Sen and others made up for this point very well, coupled with Li Shushi's increasingly superb magical strategies, Yuan Shaojun was able to learn a lot from the Han frontier army, which was as famous as Dong Zhuo's Xiliang Army.
"Double wall" style.
Especially those veterans who are now the backbone of Cao's army, most of them have been inextricably linked to Bingzhou. Many of them have experienced the "miracle" created by Li Shushi (Su Xiaoluoli) back then, and are very interested in Li Shushi's reputation.
No. Full of awe.
These people are the backbone of Cao's army, just like the Jizhou soldiers in Yuan Shao's army. They are brave and can naturally boost the morale of the surrounding recruits. Their tenacity can naturally allow the recruits to continue to persevere. But now they see Li Shushi's banner.
If you become timid later, the consequences are self-evident.
When Cao Jun's army, as a new force, caused chaos due to the appearance of Li Shushi, it could almost be considered to have been abolished. The negative chain effect it had on Yuan Shao's army was undoubtedly unprecedented.
Yuan Shaojun once again stood on the edge of the cliff called defeat, and the slightly decadent and unwilling expression on his face at this time justified it. At this time, he had exhausted all his cards and had no means of recovery.
"I'm not willing to accept it, I'm not willing to accept it, I'm not willing to accept it!!!"
Suddenly a mouthful of blood spurted out, and Yuan Shao's body, which was originally standing tall on the horse, finally fell softly... (To be continued.)
