3. On the influence of a butterfly's interference on the world-line convergence
"With Kamiya and Daigun Karasuma, they have such big plans. I never knew that I had cultivated such a bold enemy.*"
Jia Xu was naturally happy to carry out Li Shushi's order, because this was not only a good opportunity for him to make up for his mistakes, but his departure could also clear possible obstacles for Guo Jia to insert his hands into the Intelligence Department.
But looking at his overly bright smile when he left, even a ruthless man like Cheng Yu couldn't help but shudder.
Although occasionally, you can still feel some cold breath in spring.
"Perhaps there is someone else behind the Xianbei people's actions this time."
In response to Li Shushi's sigh, Cheng Yu looked at the files on the desktop and reminded him either accidentally or intentionally.
"Huh? Why did Zhongde say this?"
"Haha, I just remembered my lord's comments about those grassland barbarians."
"Well, I feel like I said a lot. Can you remind me of the specific Zhongde sentence?"
"Well, that's the saying, 'If the alien race masters the method of inheriting knowledge and opens up their people's wisdom, then their power will develop into a huge trouble, because compared to us, they are obviously more professionals who focus on fighting.
many'."
"So you're saying..."
"It's just a guess. But the other party must also regard us as his biggest enemy."
After hearing Cheng Yu's conclusion, Li Shushi fell silent. After thinking about it carefully, he realized that Cheng Yu was probably telling the truth.
In fact, no matter how you think about it, there is only one goal that Cheng Yu refers to. After all, Cao Cao will not set such a "ambitious" goal under the current conditions; Liu Biao and Yuan Shu may both do so.
But they are too far away from the north, and the power they can project is extremely limited. There is no problem in sending some money to let the barbarians add some trouble to the princes in the north, but what if you want them to take further actions?
One needs to face the increasingly turbulent situation in Jingnan. The other will only have some ideas about the wealthy areas south of the Yellow River before ending the Yangzhou strategy, and will not devote its main energy to it. It is more of a bargain.
Or the mentality of muddying the waters.
Therefore, the only one who has reason to do this and has the ability to do so is Yuan Shao.
Li Shushi was afraid of Yuan Shao's power, and how could Yuan Shao not be afraid of Li Shushi's Bingzhou Army?
The two sides look exactly like a fight on a Go board - one is stronger externally, and the other looks more powerful on the ground.
It cannot be said that taking advantage of external momentum does not mean that there is no solid ground. After all, external momentum must also be supported by a certain ground. Similarly, taking solid ground cannot be said to give up external momentum, because often in many cases, actual ground is also a kind of momentum.
And there is a chess theory in Go. That is, "the sooner the strong momentum is transformed into reality, the greater the power of the thick momentum will be." The same truth applies to the competition for hegemony in the world - the Yuan family of Runan and the Yang family of Hongnong both
It is a powerful family that can be called the fourth generation and the three princes, with disciples and former officials all over the world. However, during this world turmoil, the Yuan family seized the opportunity. Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu had already arrived
The local government raised troops instead of clinging to the imperial court like Hongnong Yang. As a result, both brothers Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu are now popular figures in these troubled times. However, the Hongnong Yang family suffered a heavy blow when the Xiliang Army was in charge.
Li Shushi was on top of them, but their family leader Yang Biao died on the battlefield in Dai County for various reasons. The Yang family's reputation must have suffered a huge blow.
As for whether a descendant of the ancestors will be crowned emperor in the future, that is not something Li Shushi, a little butterfly, can interfere with.
Yuan Shao's original alliance with Li Shushi was intended to stabilize the rear and prevent himself from being attacked from both sides. On the other hand, he hoped to use Li Shushi to contain the Xiliang Army. After all, even the Xiliang Army that had been divided still had a powerful influence on the princes of the world.
The ability to give headaches. And the destructive power of these people cannot be underestimated. If one day their heads twitch and they come out again...
So whether it's driving a tiger to devour a wolf or driving a wolf to devour a tiger, you two can go and have fun on your own.
It's just that time flies by, and Li Shushi has defeated the Xiliang army in the blink of an eye and conquered a large territory. But Yuan Shao's biggest enemy, Gongsun Zan, committed suicide and put his political life on the countdown. The second biggest enemy is Gongsun Zan.
Xuzhou also fell into division because of Tao Qian's death. Not only did
Let Yuan Shao calmly let go and let Yuan Tan continue his strategy of Qingzhou that had no hope. Even the channel to enter Xuzhou in the future has been opened. As long as Xuzhou can stay in chaos for a few more years, Yuan Shao, who has freed up his hands, does not think that with his own power at that time
With all the momentum, who can stop this day from coming?
Including my younger brother Cao Cao, who has been a little restless recently.
So at this time, Yuan Shao once again looked around China. Yuan Shu, who was in a corner, could no longer pose a direct threat to him. Instead, Li Shushi, who had captured the vast and fertile land near the two capitals, became the opponent he was most wary of.
With strong military strength and better political ability than Dong Zhuo, Yuan Shao had actually regarded Li Shushi as an opponent that could not be ignored very early on. However, Li Shushi was hiding next to Dong Zhuo at that time, even if he attracted Yuan Shao's attention.
But there is also a considerable distance between distance and attention.
But now that we have sorted it out, although Li Shushi cannot be said to have made steady progress step by step, he can still be called "accumulating grain widely and becoming king slowly". The development of Bingzhou and Shuozhou cannot be ignored, and the aristocratic families in Bingshuo and Lianghe areas cannot be ignored.
Haoqiang was also betrayed by Li Shushi
They are connected by various interests, and when the strength of the two parties is roughly equal, Yuan Shao, who cannot provide more benefits, is destined to be unable to leverage the Bingzhou Army and the powerful people in its core area who have been tied together by various interests.
them.
Therefore, in order to inhibit the development of the Bingzhou Army, Yuan Shao must take some measures.
For example, cooperation in terms of money and resources, cooperation in talent exchanges, etc., I will not list them all here.
In fact, due to some of his own reasons, Li Shushi ignored some of the impacts of the war in the late Eastern Han Dynasty. One of the more significant points was that due to the war in the Central Plains, people in the Central Plains began to move to surrounding areas on a large scale.
Escape.
Bingzhou is actually the beneficiary of this phenomenon, but Li Shushi previously attributed this phenomenon to the relatively loose policies under his rule and the effective suppression of powerful people. It can even be added to Su Xiaololi's personal charm, making Bingzhou a
The destination that refugees yearn for. And the relatively complete system of military and civilian settlements that has been implemented for nearly ten years has also given his administration the ability to accept this wave of refugees and make it more beneficial rather than harmful to Bingzhou.
Influence.
However, when reorganizing, Li Shushi discovered that perhaps the relatively peaceful environment of Bingzhou allowed it to absorb a large number of refugees, but it does not mean that other areas have not absorbed them. The number may not be comparable to that of Bingzhou, but the total number is still
A force that cannot be ignored.
The ordinary people and powerful families will try their best to eat them, and those who can't eat or don't want to be eaten will naturally go to farther places - Gongsundu of Liaodong, and even the various tribes of Wuwan wandering in Youzhou, all migrate like this.
Beneficiaries. Of course, there will be no shortage of talents of all kinds.
For Yuan Shao, a guy who pays attention to family status, those talented people who come from humble backgrounds and common people are naturally not in his eyes. For the powerful families in Jizhou, they naturally have to select the best when they have choices. But those who are eliminated
Are the characters really bad? Or do they care about this for the grassland tribes who lack talents?
Li Shushi subconsciously forgot about the north because of his impressions of Cheng Pu and Han Dang, families from the Youzhou frontier, who took the initiative to move south and a large number of scholars who escaped into the southern states of Yi, Jing, Yang and even Jiaozhou.
The frontier fortress is also a safe haven in the eyes of many people. After all, although the south is good, the acclimatization needs to be considered.
Among experts among the people, even if they are not from a professional background, for those smart people, the wild road is still useful, not to mention that the great military strategist Comrade Lu Xun once said: "The wild road has been traveled many times, and that is the broad road."
"
What? You said you don’t have this sentence. Well, as a member of the Siwutian Dynasty in the new era, the most important thing is to learn to understand the spirit. Only if you learn the magical skill of understanding the spirit, then all problems will not be a problem.
~
"It seems that we should make some plans. Otherwise, it would not be a good thing to make our 'allies' too comfortable."
In response to Li Shushi's request, Cheng Yu, Huang Zhong, and Jushou all had expressions of laughter on their faces.
Hmm. You're going to have to suffer a lot from this little fox who likes to be lazy in restaurants and flower houses.
May the holy beasts fool you.
"Okay, about Yang Wenxian's death in Daijun. Should we tell his precious son Yang Dezu, or should we wait until we get Yang Wenxian's body back before officially mourning him. In any case, he was one of the former Nine Lords.
"
If what surprised Li Shushi most in the Daijun crisis was that there was a big traitor among his subordinates, then it should be regarded as the unexpected death of Yang Biao.
As mentioned before, although the Hongnong Yang family and the Runan Yuan family may be slightly inferior in terms of the number of dignitaries, in terms of quality, they are not inferior at all and may even be better. In fact, Hongnong Yang
If it weren't for the instigation of Li Shushi's butterfly wings, he would also be a genuine "Four Generations and Three Lords".
Yang Biao's great-grandfather Yang Zhen and Yang Boqi were famous ministers in the world from the beginning. He once served as a Taiwei, one of the three princes, and died under the slander of the eunuchs. Yang Biao's grandfather Yang Bing and Yang Shujie also once served as a Taiwei, and just now
As soon as he became the captain, he teamed up with Sikong to impeach dozens of officials in the world for corruption and bending the law. These people were either spared or killed, which shocked the world.
By the way, if this person were now, he could be the secretary of the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection.
Yang Biao's father, Yang Ci Yang Boxian, was even more awesome, and he was somewhat related to Li Shushi.
Not only did Yang Ci do all the three things, he was also once the lecturer of Ling Emperor Liu Hong, and he was an old minister that Liu Hong absolutely trusted.
Moreover, the three generations of the Yang family are not like the Yuan family. They have taken refuge with eunuchs for their own safety. Therefore, they are also a prominent family, but the reputation of the Yang family among the scholars is not as good as that of the Yuan family.
In the end, it's still half a chip ahead.
Therefore, in order to establish a good relationship with Liu Hong, Li Shushi once asked Su Xiaoluoli to conduct remote diagnosis for Yang Ci, and also gave Yang Ci a lot of secret medicine specially prepared by Su Xiaoluoli, so that this person who was supposed to be in the second year of Zhongping
The old man who passed away stayed strong until the end of the fifth year of Zhongping. Although the Yang family who did not know history would not be very grateful to Li Shushi, they would still remember it well.
As for Yang Biao, although he is still a Taiwei now, in another dimension of history, he was promoted to Taiwei by Li Guo two years later.
In this way, the Yang family of Hongnong became the real fourth generation and three princes. It was even an even rarer one-stop combination of "four generations of Taiwei". It can be said that if the turmoil at the end of the Han Dynasty had not destroyed all the original rules of the game, the Yang family would have been
The position will be unshakable.
It is a pity that things change quickly. The Yang family naturally ignored the good relationship between Li Shushi and Li Shushi. Perhaps they thought that they only needed to help Li Shushi in his career to repay the good relationship.
After all, Li Shushi was just a member of a poor family, and even Li Shushi, a "pretend", was not even considered a poor family, but for the sake of some military achievements, it would not make the Yang family look too bad if he helped him.
Back then, Li Shushi was able to ascend to the position of Zhou Mu. Although Yang Ci's acquiescence cannot be said to have contributed, the fact that this man who had a great influence on Liu Hong did not speak out against it is enough to represent an attitude and can also influence many people.
attitude.
But now, the family background between the two parties may not have undergone fundamental changes, but their status has been earth-shaking.
Li Shushi has become the ruler of the five states. Although he is still a minister of the Han Dynasty in name, everyone can see that such a prince who accounts for one quarter of the world is qualified to become the leader of the general trend of the world. Every move he makes is
It can determine the life and death of many people and even many once-prominent families.
And what about the Hongnong Yang family?
This family is indeed considered loyal. But after all, it cannot compare with the Yuan family in terms of adaptability, so when the Yuan family sensed that the limelight was not right, they decisively moved to different places. The Yang family has been in the Sili area in recent years.
The turmoil caused heavy losses. Even the Yang family's direct sons and grandsons could only manage to support themselves in this turbulent situation.
And to make matters worse, because of the marriage relationship between Yang Biao and the Yuan family, Li Shushi, although he did not show anything to the Yang family on the surface, secretly adopted a more oppressive attitude, and the Intelligence Department was even more active.
.
In this case, as the leader of the Hongnong Yang family, Yang Biao had to stand up.
It is impossible to change the marriage relationship with the Yuan family. This is related to the face of the two great clans, and it is also related to the face of Li Shushi. After all, there is a tacit understanding between the Bingzhou Army and Yuan Shao. But in order to prove that the Hongnong Yang family has a strong relationship with Bingzhou
The loyalty of the new master Jun,
So if Yang Biao, who was originally the ninth minister, was appointed as the prefect of Daijun, a newly occupied territory that was close to the Xianbei royal court but had a lot of support behind it, it was not only a humiliation but also a big risk.
It is a means of testing.
Moreover, Li Shushi and the Yang family have reached a certain tacit agreement on this matter, that is, Yang Biao will not stay in Dai County for more than three years. If the other party performs well within three years, then the Yang family will have the opportunity to enter the Bingzhou Army Center
Get a good position.
Maybe he is Cheng Yu's deputy, maybe he is in charge of rituals and sacrifices, and arrangements will be made based on the development of the situation.
In fact, Li Shushi made the same arrangement for Ma Rixi, but because the Ma family nominally had a cordial relationship with Li Shushi, the place where Ma Rixi served as the county governor was Henan County, which was in need of development. He might have to face
Although the pressure from Yuan Shu may be much lower than Dai Jun in terms of risk, the work pressure is definitely higher than Dai Jun.
It can be said that this is a competition, a competition to decide whether the Fufeng Ma family or the Hongnong Yang family will become the leader of the Guanzhong family. Both parties have their own merits in terms of qualifications and status, so the family that gets the support of the Bingzhou Army can obviously win in this troubled world.
In order to gain more initiative, this kind of support is particularly important today when the reputation of the Bingzhou Army is at its peak.
As a result, Yang Biao died.
In Li Shushi's memory, it seems that in the history of another dimension, this political roly-poly who had several ups and downs in Cao Wei's political arena but finally had a good death actually passed away in the prime of his life like this?!
It is said that Li Shushi was originally more optimistic about Yang Biao than Ma Rixi, and he also planned to use him to check and balance Sima Fang, who had become more and more famous among the aristocratic families with the help of the Bingzhou Army, but he never expected
.
Is this the storm that evolved from the butterfly wings behind him?
Thinking of the late Han Dynasty, which was more and more different from his own impression, Li Shushi suddenly had the illusion that the flowers were becoming more and more charming.
What will the future look like?
Li Shushi asked himself this in his heart.
It's a pity that no matter what the answer is, he has no way of judging, because he was originally just an ordinary little person, a little person who took the opportunity to pick up the debris behind the torrent when the torrent of the times swept by without anyone expecting it.
Sure enough, no one or anything in the world will be controlled by just a little person.
Without the ability to "predict" one step ahead of others, Li Shushi felt that he was a little confused again when looking at his intellectual potential that still could not exceed half a hundred.
"My lord, my lord, please make the decision for me!"
Just when Cheng Yu, Huang Zhong and Jushu were thinking about the questions raised by Li Shushi, and Li Shushi was entangled in himself, a figure covered in white "rolled" in, rolling and crawling in an extremely embarrassed manner, and that
Weeping and wailing in extreme grief, they rushed into the hall first.
Li Shushi, who was awakened, looked up and saw that although the visitor's hair was disheveled and his face was in a state of embarrassment due to tears and dust, as a companion who had frequent contact with him, Li Shushi recognized him immediately.
"Zihe, what's wrong with you? Why are you suddenly dressed like this? Could it be that Zihe is filial to him..."
Although he said this in his mouth, he already had some guesses in his heart.
When Cao Chun saw Li Shushi, he was like a separated soldier who saw that the general had a backbone. He wiped his face randomly with his sleeves. Apart from wiping his nose and tears all over his face, it did not have any positive effect on facial cleansing.
, but people finally calmed down a lot.
"Back to my lord, just now brother Zixiao sent someone to send a message quickly. The letter said that brother Mengde wanted to welcome back his uncle who was living in seclusion in Langye County, but he never expected that his uncle would be killed by a thief as soon as the messenger arrived. Hands. If Brother Quji had not gone to Kaiyang to greet the envoy and was seen by soldiers of the Xuande Army patrolling the road, who shot and killed the traitor who went to intercept him, perhaps Brother Quji would also have suffered at the hands of that heartless and crazy traitor."
Cao Song is dead?!
Hearing this news, Li Shushi couldn't help but was stunned again. (To be continued, please search Piaotian Literature, the novel is better and updated faster!
