"Master, you must try this. The fine wine brewed from the mountain spring water in your hometown. Shushi sent someone to deliver it a while ago. Even if it is presented to His Majesty, it is still available.
It’s a tribute-level wine.”
"Really? Then I won't be polite. I really envy you. I am obviously a native of Taiyuan, but I am not as blessed as you. Mr. Lu, you have accepted a good apprentice. Even for
I’m going to bother you a lot about this wine in the future.”
"If you could come and sit here with me, an old man, you would be most welcome. Otherwise, you can't hear many people in this huge yard on weekdays. It would really make me, a bad old man, feel a little lonely."
"If you, Mr. Lu, think you are a bad old man, then wouldn't it mean that my master, Wang Zishi, is half dead? No, no, Mr. Lu, you are at the peak of the Spring and Autumn Period, and a big man still needs someone like you, Mr. Lu, to be able to carry you.
"
In the midst of these green years of complimenting each other and reminiscing about each other, time gradually passed, and the sun above our heads went from morning to sunset, and the day passed by in a hurry amidst the chatter of the two drunken old men.
Everything seemed so normal, even Xia Zuo, who was recording all this in the dark, couldn't help but doze off.
Today, Chang'an City still seems to be maintaining a peaceful daily routine.
"Do you believe that these two old guys got together for a day just to drink and act crazy?"
"I don't believe it either, but the fact is that we can only know so much. These two figures are very sensitive. One is a minister that the Prime Minister likes very much recently, and the other has a complicated relationship with Bingzhou and is quite trusted by His Majesty. If
We make up some random charges against them, and in the end it will definitely not be them but us who will be unlucky."
"Hey, these two old foxes are really cheap!"
Whether you believe it or not, Lu Zhi and Wang Yun are as pure as little white flowers, but they both believe it themselves.
"Why do I feel that the noise you made when you were eating just now was a little...weird?"
"This is your misunderstanding. I have never bitten a plate because Tamago-chan's food is too delicious!"
"Ah, I said it myself."
"Well, I said it myself."
"It's not my fault, it's the world's fault!"
"This is a poor way to change the subject."
"And it seems like a cute girl has been hurt by you."
Looking at the duo of Diao Loli and Zhen Xiaololi who were complaining about him with expressionless faces in front of him, Li Shushi could only choose to turn his head and ignore the vicious attack from the two people - even though it felt like a light on his back.
Also pretty bad.
Obviously these two lolita expressed strong indignation at Li Shushi for abandoning them in Jinyang and sneaking out to "play" with Su Xiaololi. After all, the two lolita are still at an active age. Especially without the aristocratic family.
Even though Zhen Xiaololi, who is bound by the rules and regulations set by the wealthy family, will not turn into a wild child, she cannot eliminate her strong curiosity for new things.
As for the mink loli, curiosity is obviously only one aspect. A certain beloved big fish was abducted by Li Shushi, which may be the most important reason why her little tabby cat is so "aggressive" now.
Of course, what Li Shushi knew better was that if all this had not been for the connivance of Ma Qing, who looked like a naughty daughter with a kind smile on his face, these two lolita who actually knew how to be polite would not have been so blatant.
At the dinner table, they complained about Li Shushi, who was at least nominally the head of the family.
After all, in the Central Plains culture, what is obviously needed at the family dining table is an extremely quiet environment to demonstrate the existence of certain etiquette.
These are two completely opposite environments to a banquet with official purposes - if the latter is carried out in silence, it is the greatest ridicule to the host. And the banquet will definitely only have a failed result - unless you
If you are unlucky enough to meet an emperor like King Zhou Li or the Emperor of the Manchu Qing Dynasty who likes to "defend the people by talking", in that case you'd better say less.
Well, at least it needs to be expressed in more euphemistic terms, or it can be silenced, and the Holy Light comes to the world. Anyway, everything predicted by Mr. Zhang Heping (note) has been realized in the increasingly developed Internet world.
At this time, nearly half a year has passed since the end of the battle, which was called the Battle of Qinghe because it took place along the Qinghe River. Except for a short return to Jinyang during the Spring Festival to host the Spring Festival Ceremony, Li Shushi basically spent this time on the road.
It's outside.
Naturally, his main target was the affairs of Wei County. After all, because of Yuan Shao's manipulation of retreat, the situation there suddenly became strange and complicated. After Han Fu left, all forces used their own methods to target this power vacuum area.
.
Although Li Shushi, who had been appointed by the emperor on the surface, seemed to have the upper hand, whether it was the powerful local families represented by Geng Wu and Min Chun who had gained the favorable location, or Yuan Shao, who had gained the people and hidden in the dark, they were obviously better than Li Shushi.
He is more familiar with the land of Wei County, and even if it were not for Jushou and Shenpei
The appearance of Li Shushi allowed Li Shushi to win over a group of small powerful men. Facing the remnants of Han Fu and Yuan Shao, who had already divided up all the forces in Wei County at the earliest, Lu Bu's troops might really fall into another trap in Wei County.
The vast sea of "People's War" is just like when we were in Hedong.
And unlike the situation in the past when Hedong was surrounded by his own territory and that of his allies, which could be said to have turned Hedong into an isolated island, most of the surrounding areas of Wei County were not controlled by Li Shushi. The enemy wanted to support Wei County.
Anti-Li Shushi
It can be said that the power is easy. After all, in addition to Yuan Shao's participation in the battle for Wei County, there is intelligence that Liu Dai in the south is also ready to make a move. As he is also a member of the Han clan, it seems that he does not need to take Liu Dai into consideration.
Yu’s call.
From the fact that the Qiao family represented by Qiao Mao has been completely eliminated from Yanzhou by Liu Dai, it can be seen that even if Liu Dai is mediocre in ability, at least his methods are ruthless. He belongs to the kind of person who "even if he can't beat you, he will make you mess with him"
A player who is annoying because of his sexy appearance.
So Li Shushi naturally wants to come here to appease Xiaoqiang, who has been tortured by the entanglement of forces from all sides and has always wanted to give up. Well, by the way, let Su Xiaololi give Xiaoqiang a few sticks and everything will be perfect.
Although the affairs in Wei County have indeed been the most difficult in recent times, Li Shushi did not stay here for long. After all, according to the plan he had made with Jia Xu and Cheng Yu, the place was about to face a near-overthrow.
A major reshuffle of the poker game, with Jia Xu's ruthlessness, I'm afraid it will definitely be very cruel even if it doesn't lead to death.
In order to avoid any uncontrollable situations, Li Shushi felt that it would be better for him to stay away from this place, which was about to become a more complicated place of right and wrong. Anyway, with Xiaoqiang's force and Jushou, Shenpei's resourcefulness, it was enough to deal with possible situations.
After leaving Wei County, Li Shushi traveled to many places such as Hanoi, Hedong, Xihe and Shangjun.
Because here, Li Shushi encountered a new problem.
Of course, unlike Wei Jun's problem, this time's problem is more about surprises and happy worries.
But it is said that Dong Zhuo adopted the policy of sealing off the country since he led his troops back to Xiliang and took control of Chang'an. Although he would not be "blind to what is going on outside the window" because of this, he was ignorant of the changes in the outside world. But except for occasionally using the emperor to provide support to Guandong
In addition to looking for trouble for the princes, he seemed to know that he had no influence on the princes of Guandong, so he concentrated on living his own life.
Even according to the intelligence sent back by Lu Zhi and the spy stationed in Chang'an, Dong Zhuo issued many orders in the name of the emperor, and the severity of these orders was probably even worse than during the Qin Dynasty.
, so that Dong Zhuo's subordinates who were accustomed to living in Luoyang felt extremely overwhelmed and applied to go out to garrison one after another.
Anyway, Xiliang is the Xiliang of Xiliang people. Dong Zhuo is safe here. At the same time, he also knows the temper of his old subordinates who have followed him for many years, so it can be said that such applications are approved as many as possible.
As a result, from Nanyang to Longxi, the fierce figures of Xiliang soldiers can be seen everywhere.
But does this hurt those important officials in the court who have nowhere to go and can only stay in Chang'an City?
However, it has to be said that the few remaining courtiers who were able to escape Dong Zhuo's rounds of purges were all determined and flexible people who knew when to perform what kind of performance, and Lu
The doors that Zhi brought into Chang'an
All the officials who died in Shuozhou had suffered hardships in Shuozhou. Although the new law was strict, they were careful enough and coupled with Lu Zhi's influence, they were basically able to continue to persevere - after all, when it comes to the ability to chew words and exploit loopholes, these
The people are far superior to the Xiliang army ten times and a hundred times.
The people who really find it unbearable are the people of Xiliang.
No, maybe that's not quite accurate.
In fact, perhaps due to the influence of the bloodline from the descendants of the Great Qin Empire, or the poor climate conditions in the northwest and the constant harassment of alien races, the indigenous people on this land generally have a more resilient character.
Although Dong Zhuo's new laws generally made them feel uncomfortable, the old stories about the Qin State in those days, at least as the core ruling area of the Qin State, the stories spread here are obviously not the "violent Qin" like in Guandong.
how it is
Horrible, but there are many stories about Shang Yang's greatness, Zhang Yi's wit, Bai Qi's invincibility, and such as the funny but wise Chuiliji, Baili Shi who persevered and defeated Jin in a last-ditch battle... various beautiful stories about the Qin State.
passed down.
Secondly, Dong Zhuo's huge reputation and popularity in Xiliang also made the Xiliang natives have higher expectations for the new law, especially after Dong Zhuo executed several old subordinates who obviously failed to keep up with the situation and violated the new law.
, no matter how much his subordinates begged for mercy in every possible way, they still did not let go of those few middle-level generals who were not smart enough. After the incident was publicized, under the secret manipulation of some people, Dong Zhuo became another Gongsun Martingale who could revive Xiliang.
.
It's just that all of this is only for the indigenous people who have lived in Xiliang for generations, but after experiencing so many things from the first year of Zhongping to the present, the people living in Xiliang are no longer just Xiliang people.
Not to mention the people in the original Henan area who were driven all the way to the Sanfu area by Dong Zhuo, even to resist the invasion of the Qiang people, and also to share the wave of refugees that broke out due to the Yellow Turban Rebellion. The emperor Liu Hong at the time divided them into many batches
Hundreds of thousands of refugees were sent to the land of Xiliang, and then they were forcibly bound to this land that was unfamiliar to them.
But for the refugees, there is nothing bad here.
Maybe there is a heavy burden of corvee here, and maybe there is a need to be afraid of the Qiang people who may come, but considering that my hometown is also suffering from various natural disasters, and the corvee in my hometown is also very heavy, so here it is more or less possible to pass the corvee.
It doesn’t seem like a bad thing to put down roots in the Mifu area where you can get some food rations and the land is quite fertile?
As Huangfu Song gradually pushed the Qiang people out of the Sanfu area, the former refugees finally breathed a sigh of relief. However, due to various reasons, some of them became the tribe of the powerful Xiliang people. Some of them became tenants.
.There are probably less than five, six, six or seven out of ten people who are still qualified to continue living as free citizens.
But even so, their suffering seems not to be over yet.
Contrary to the stories circulating in Guanzhong, Guandong's views on Qin perfectly embody the saying of "violating Qin". The barbaric Qin people are probably no different from the aliens on the grassland. They all eat children alive anyway.
Sweetheart. And even if a meal doesn’t have double digits, it won’t be satisfying enough...
Nowadays, Dong Zhuo is determined to build a new generation of the Three Qin Dynasty. There are even rumors that he is coercing the emperor to give him the title of King of Qin. The common people may not remember the old saying "No one can be crowned a marquis without merit, and one cannot be crowned a king without Liu"
Legend. But we can smell a message from this unknown statement: that terrible monster will come to the world again.
"Lord Saint, Lord Goddess, can you please give me another bowl of rice~"
"when…………"
Li Shushi responded to the cuteness with a frying pan that felt very familiar to him. Speaking of which, where was this thing taken out every time? Could it be that this world also has the four-dimensional pocket technology of the blue civet cat?
"I've told you so many times, don't mention such a shameful title again!"
"Then let's change it to the Virgin Mother? I think this is a good idea~"
"Ning'er likes this title, Ning'er likes this title, Sister Yu is the best!"
"Second, this title sounds more affectionate than the previous one."
"Second the proposal~"
"I also second the proposal."
"This title sounds good, I would second it."
"You! You, I won't be happy even if you say that!"
"(Quietly) Who was it that made his face light up with a smile when he was called that..."
"Bang..."
Li Shushi, male, died at the age of 20. Cause of death: beaten to death with a frying pan by an arrogant loli...
Well, let’s not mention Li Shushi, who is using his self-healing skills to fend off waves of attacks from Su Xiaololi, who has entered a strange mode because of her excessive shyness, nor the group of people who have cleared the venue and are making tea and watching the show.
Girl paper.
Let's talk about the reasons why Su Xiaololi is so angry - those nicknames that make her blush and shy.
And these nicknames are closely related to the troubles that make Li Shushi happy.
Because of the series of strict orders issued by Dong Zhuo and the various negative rumors about the Xiliang army, the refugees from Guandong who had just calmed down became nervous again, and then gradually evolved into
A new large-scale migration wave.
Although the outbreak of the immigration wave was a bit sudden, it could not escape the control of Dong Zhuo who dispersed his soldiers everywhere. Since he wanted to create an utopia that only existed in his dreams, a sufficient population was one of the necessary cornerstones.
one.
Although people now fear him, resist him, curse him, and hate him, he believes that as long as he uses high pressure to squeeze everyone living in the land of Xiliang together, over time they will naturally eliminate their defenses and merge together.
After all, human adaptability may be at the top of the biological chain.
Isn't this how Qiang Qin came through step by step?
Since the ancestors were able to do it, Dong Zhuo believed that the descendants who had accumulated a lot of experience and knowledge could do the same.
No matter what changes have occurred in the external environment.
But just like King Zhou Li, who once planned to seal the mouths of the people, failed to extinguish the flames of resistance in the end, the power that the people exploded in order to survive was equally terrifying. In order to survive, they could go on and on, and they could not be afraid of death.
, even Dong Zhuo's high-pressure policy made some people who were originally in a wait-and-see state take action because of uneasiness or herd mentality.
People continued to be arrested, but more people began to flee from Xiliang - to Yizhou in the south, to the Qiang gathering areas in the west, to the Hexi area in the north, and more people chose the east direction.
.
In fact, there were not many more refugees who chose to flee eastward than in other directions at the beginning. Although Bingzhou and Shuozhou were closer to the Sanfu area due to the proximity principle, Bingzhou did not take much advantage compared to Yizhou in the south.
, after all, the latter is a well-known land of abundance. It is not only rich in products but also seems to be far away from war.
But when Su Xiaoluoli, who followed Li Shushi, rescued a group of refugees who fled from the west into Hedong, Li Shushi was surprised to find that this group of refugees suddenly behaved extremely impulsively, with everyone kneeling down and crying.
While showing the most solemn etiquette to Li Shushi, Li Shushi felt somewhat flattered.
Of course, he soon discovered that this was entirely his illusion and a waste of his feelings.
Because the people who were saluting were shouting the names that made today's Su Xiaololi go crazy.
It turns out that the kind deeds they inadvertently performed in Xiliang may have been just a trivial effort for Li Shushi and Su Xiaoluo without thinking too much about the benefits, but they were a great kindness to the people who were rescued, especially Su Xiaoluo.
Li also has the kind of peerless appearance that makes her stand out even if she deliberately uses makeup to reduce her beauty. Word of mouth spreads and she naturally becomes a fairy-like figure.
Well, although in Li Shushi's opinion, the mysterious Su Xiaololi is probably more terrifying than those immortals.
What kind of power will emerge when a desperate person sees hope again?
Li Shushi cannot give a definite answer. After all, even advanced modern medicine still cannot fully explain those things that are beyond human limits but are actually happening.
News of the appearance of the "Holy Mother Empress" under Li Shushi's rule spread like wildfire. This seemed to be a signal that made the refugees, even though they knew the journey was full of thorns, still choose to go to Bingzhou, Shuozhou, etc. like moths to a flame.
Two rivers come.
During that time, the troops of Li Shushi and Dong Zhuo were facing each other at a distance on the border, and it seemed that a large-scale conflict would break out at any time.
However, until the end, both sides always maintained restraint, and no gunfire occurred. At the same time, they also acquiesced in the plan to deal with the refugees - as long as the refugees were caught before entering Li Shushi's rule, Bingzhou would not take intervention measures.
And if the refugees successfully cross the border, Dong Zhuo's army will stop hunting.
Li Shushi didn't know how many human tragedies this tacit understanding ultimately caused, but gaining more people under his rule undoubtedly increased Li Shushi's war potential. Even if these refugees brought chaos and trouble in the short term, in the long run
From a personal perspective, as long as it can be thoroughly digested, our side will undoubtedly gain a lot of leverage in this troubled world.
"But Chang'an..."
With a pig head that makes people laugh, Li Shushi looked towards the west with a bit more melancholy and entanglement.
Note: As early as in "Prime Minister Liu Luoguo", Mr. Zhang had already predicted the importance and application methods of various coding technologies (probably no fog), and in "Party A and Party B" he even predicted the direction of the development of culture and entertainment (largely
Wu), can be said to be a super master of prophecy. (To be continued, please search Piaotian Literature, the novel is better and updated faster!
