For smart people, there are some things that don’t need to be explained in detail in order for them to understand your thoughts.
Cao Chun is undoubtedly such a person. Maybe he can't understand the big chess game in the world like Cheng Yu and Jushou here, but as long as you give him a little bit of guidance, he can also get out of it.
.
Although he is a brother to Cao Ren, and although he has a close relationship with Cao Cao, Cao Chun is still a member of the Bingzhou Army and a minister of Li Shushi, so the target of his loyalty is not Cao Cao, but his top priority is also the Bingzhou Army.
Benefit.
Well, the interests of the family will naturally be taken into consideration, but just like the famous three Zhuge brothers in the history of another dimension, the consideration for merging the state army is actually an alternative consideration for the family, ensuring that the family does not put eggs in the same place.
in the basket.
"Then how does the Lord think we should reply to Brother Mengde's letter?"
"Well, you really need to think about this matter carefully. You need to think about it carefully. But I will give you an answer as soon as possible."
Cao Chun still left. Although he seemed a little hesitant and unwilling, he still left after all.
Li Shushi actually understood this young man's inner feelings very well.
To the world, Cao Song was a corrupt official with the worst crimes, and it was unmistakable that he was a mediocre official. He was not even as good as his adoptive father Cao Teng, and the country had more or less recommended some talents, even when he was welcoming Liu Zhi
played a strong role in the issue
However, considering how domineering Liang Ji was at the time, Cao Teng only added fuel to the flames. Since Liang Ji did not even let go of the children who hated him, how could he allow an adult who thought he hated him to ascend the throne? I can only say that
The butt determines the head.
By the way, Li Shushi, who lived in this country and even had many contacts with one of them, had some doubts about whether Emperor Huanling was really as miserable as written in the history books, and judging from his posthumous title
, Emperor Huan sounds better than Emperor Ling.
As for Cao Song, apart from using money to demonstrate the poor morale of Emperor Ling's official administration and the embarrassment of the national treasury, he did not make any great contributions to the stability of the country. In other words, as a second-generation eunuch with a strong sense of eunuchs,
, Cao Song obviously did not like to be independent as much as his son Cao Cao, but instead integrated into the eunuchs and became an existence no different from others.
But Cao Song was an extremely qualified patriarch for the Cao family, including the Xiahou family who were related as in-laws and vassals.
He provided various opportunities to the children of the two families so that they could develop themselves freely. Even if there were one or two troublesome guys among them, such as Xiahou Dun who once wanted to kill people at every turn, and for example, in Huai
Cao Ren, who was a member of the Pegasus Party in the Si area, and Xia Houlian, who was weak in force but always liked to challenge everywhere. However, he still used his own strength to protect their growth. And these people have become the subordinates that Cao Cao now relies on.
Not to mention Xiahou Dun and Cao Ren. Even Xiahou Lian, who was ineffective at the time, is now the commander of Cao Cao's personal guard.
As for Cao Chun, this poor younger brother who was robbed of half of the family property by his elder brother, although he is a very thoughtful young man. But if it weren't for the support of Cao Song behind him, Cao Chun would have wanted to lead the family at a young age.
It is not easy to have many slaves and private soldiers.
"I didn't expect that this year has just begun, and all kinds of things are coming one after another, which is dizzying."
Rubbing his temples, Li Shushi looked a little distressed, but soon changed to a relaxed expression.
Because a pair of warm jade hands had gently covered his head. The gentle but powerful movements drove away all the fatigue accumulated in Li Shushi's spirit and body. The intoxicating breath lingering on the tip of his nose was also particularly intoxicating.
Feel relaxed.
"I didn't expect that my lord, who has always liked to do this kind of thing, would refuse so simply this time. This surprised Li very much. I think it will also make the northern barbarian tribes who have been harmed by my lord in recent years shed collective tears."
"There is no way. The person who wrote to me is called Cao Mengde. Although this guy looks inconspicuous, he has a dark heart. And now there is a person standing behind him who has a heart that is not dark enough but full of twists.
Xun Wenruo, can you not make people more vigilant? There is Xun Wenruo and Xun Gongda. The two most outstanding talents in the Xun family now are probably these two."
"My Lord, is he being hidden in his palace by the loyal general Xun Gongda?"
"It doesn't matter if he hides, as long as he can't go anywhere else. Even if he doesn't work for me, it's a great contribution to our Bingzhou Army by not causing trouble for me. I still have to thank you, Han Sheng, for this matter.
"
"Probably, my lord, you are the only one who thinks so."
"Maybe it's because I didn't intend to climb that high, so I don't care so much about certain things. Maybe this is the state of 'without desire, then be strong' as the sage said."
"Then how does the lord plan to reply to Zihe? Even if the lord does not agree to send troops, Zihe will probably resign and go back to attend the funeral. Perhaps he will also bring private soldiers to participate in the battle against Xuzhou. In this way, Cao Mengde can take advantage of the opportunity to let His Majesty
To issue an order and take advantage of the situation to keep Zihe in the army is a big loss for us."
Cheng Yu was probably stimulated by Li Shushi and Su Xiaololi who were showing off their love and setting off flash bombs. He made a judgment that made Li Shushi frown, but he didn't have the strength to refute it because it sounded like what Cheng Yu said made sense.
yeah.
Could it be that asking him to say that Cao Chun is just like Taishi Ziyi in another plane of history will not betray Sun Ce's trust and expectations? But Cheng Yu also said that Sun Ce did not have an emperor to jump out to him at that time.
Adding to the congestion.
If Cheng Yu was justified in causing trouble for Li Shushi, then Ju Shou was completely envy and jealous.
"My lord, I believe that since the barbarians in the north dare to challenge the majesty of our Bingzhou army, we cannot sit back and wait for death. Now in the Xianbei royal court, although the leader still seems to have the upper hand, his momentum is weakened. If we can take advantage of this opportunity,
by
A group of elite soldiers lie in wait on the grassland, leading the two sides to suddenly rush out in the middle of a fierce battle, killing Qian Man and other Xianbei newcomers. Not only can it dampen the Xianbei power, but like Fu Jiezi stabbing the King of Loulan, they might be able to fight
Defeat the royal court of Xianbei and disrupt the tribes of Xianbei."
Well, as long as you see Jushu's casual expression, you will know how unreliable his proposal is, but Huang Zhong over there seems to have not seen Jushu's expression, and seems to intend to support it with a few more words -
But speaking of Huang Hansheng, can you please calm down the gloating expression on your face?
What a group of unprofessional actors. Have you read "The Self-cultivation of an Actor" seriously?
"Okay, okay, let's get back to business." She probably knew that if she didn't come out of the gentle village, these guys with low moral integrity would definitely be able to tease her to the end of the world. And Su Xiaololi would still watch her.
Li Shushi smiled and compared the gestures with several guys without having to look at them or guess what they meant.
Report to the coach, it’s not that I’m not doing my best, it’s that there is a traitor in our army.
I have to say that Li Shushi in the Bingzhou Army sometimes feels a bit like a mascot. From time to time, he becomes a being used by everyone to relax their mind. But if some people think that this mascot is weak and can be bullied... okay
.The wealthy and powerful families in Bingzhou no longer think so, and neither do the sensible people among the wealthy and powerful families in Xiliang who have been plowed.
As for those stupid guys, no era can eradicate such middle-class novices. However, you can’t think that such existences are the waste and dregs of society. At least in the eyes of Li Shushi and many people, they are like cutting leeks from time to time.
Cutting off a crop of middle-aged novices can keep many smart people quiet for a while, and even use these people to catch some smart-alecks.
You see, isn't this a huge contribution and sacrifice to the harmony and stability of society?
Of course, teasing mascots also requires skills, otherwise the violent sanctions imposed by Lolita will be very scary.
Because it is very important, I have to say it twice. Although even if I say this, there are always people who forget about eating and not fighting and want to "test the law by themselves."
"When I watched my lord listen to his statement just now, I felt that my lord didn't seem to be completely opposed to sending troops to attack Xuzhou. He even seemed to be very interested. Could it be that my lord has other considerations?"
"I have some ideas, but after listening to Gong Yu's words, I'm a little shaken."
"Oh? Is it possible that my lord really plans to go north? What I said just now is just an unthought-out joke. My lord, please don't take it seriously. Otherwise, I will waste a great athlete from Bingzhou."
Li Shushi's words really shocked Jushu. The north was a trap. If Li Shushi had ordered a small group of troops to go deep into the grassland to carry out harassment, everyone could barely accept it. After all, this kind of thing was a gradual process.
No matter what happened, since it was a small and dispersed force, the losses would not be unbearable.
In fact, it can be said that every year over the years, some troops have gone out and never come back. Some of them died in the hands of the enemy, and some were lost on the vast grasslands or in the desert. It's just like this
The losses were already expected by everyone, and the number was within an acceptable range. Therefore, even if there were battle losses every year, the military was still happy to send troops every year. After all, even if it was a small force, the sum of a small amount and a large sum would not be enough.
The merits of underestimation.
Many middle-level officers have gone through this kind of experience, even high-ranking generals like Zhang Zha.
But if a large-scale force is sent into the grassland, it is a completely different concept. Not only will it be unbearable in terms of losses, but also, as Li Shushi calculated with Cao Chun just now, the input and output will be disproportionate.
Especially on land familiar to the enemy.
Speaking of which, although the original Battle of the Western Regions was also fought by large corps, for the Xianbei and Han people, the Western Regions were relatively unfamiliar places for both sides, and no one had geographical advantages, even because of the later Wusun
People united with Li Shushi, and the geographical advantage slightly favored Li Shushi.
The timing was not chosen properly, the location was basically in the hands of the enemy, and the people and people could not be said to be superior due to intelligence and traitors. It seemed that the Bingzhou Army did not have enough chance of victory.
Can’t Li Shushi see this?
Both Cheng Yu and Jushou thought it was a bit unrealistic, so what exactly was Li Shushi planning?
"Originally, I thought it was a bit early to put Tuoba Liwei, Yelida and Yan Rou on the grassland at this time. At least these three people, especially Liwei and Yan Rou, should be allowed to participate in several battles in a more formal capacity.
However, changes within Xianbei forced us to start this plan in advance. Fortunately, these three people all understand the way of getting along between the grasslands and the Central Plains. At least when the Central Plains are strong, they will not use weapons rashly, which is basically in line with the situation.
Our requirements.
But I never thought that the internal changes in Xianbei would be so rapid. I am afraid that after the Royal Court War is over, Xianbei will usher in a new Shanyu, and this time there will be no strong restraints around the Shanyu.
It won't take long for the grassland to be integrated. No, it may not be necessary to complete the integration before making the next strategy. For the grassland ministries, the war going south is the best opportunity to integrate the various ministries, and they will complete it during the war.
The process of eliminating the fittest.
As a result, the time and space left for Liwei and others to integrate and win over the grassland tribes has become very limited. I am worried that they have just accumulated a little strength and will be submerged in the torrent created by the united Xianbei Royal Court.
, then the chess piece we played will become a useless move, and the nightmare caused by Tan Shihuai in the Han frontier will happen again."
"So my lord's intention is to use this last opportunity to make up for it no matter what, so that Liwei and others can at least be like me waiting in Xihe. Although they are unable to attack, they are more than capable of defending. This will make the Xianbei Royal Court feel like it is stuck in the throat. There is no way.
quiet……"
"Yes, Zhongde knows me."
"In this way, we immediately understand the reason for the lord's wavering. But why is the lord so shaken but still inclined to send troops to Xuzhou? Is it possible that there are still benefits in Xuzhou that the lord has not expressed before?"
"Hehe. Although the income from materials does seem to be a trap, some income is beyond the comparison of mere wealth! Cao Mengde and Xun Wenruo are indeed extremely smart, but don't forget where I, Li Shuzhen, am more famous!
"
Li Shushi rarely behaves so confidently or even looks conceited, but both Cheng Yu and Huang Zhong know very well that when Li Shushi shows such an expression, it usually means that he has something beyond ordinary people's imagination.
grasp.
For example, the knowledge comes from the "Wordless Book" that Jia Xu "coveted".
Another example...
The two old fritters looked at each other, and both saw understanding in each other's eyes.
Perhaps only people like Jushu, who had not joined the Bingzhou Army long enough, could not immediately think of what Li Shushi wanted to express.
After all, how the only two civil servants in the Bingzhou Army with two thousand dan joined the army is something that the old people still "still remember".
It's just that this time I don't know who will be recognized by Li Shushi's eyes (zao) and eyes (zao).
Thinking of this, both Cheng Yu and Huang Zhong looked extremely expectant.
Although Jushou did not know Li Shushi more comprehensively than Cheng Yu and Huang Zhong because of the accumulation of time, he could not be said to be completely ignorant of some of Li Shushi's habits. Not to mention the reason why Cheng Yu and Jia Xu came to Bingzhou was in the minds of many people.
It was not a secret in his eyes, even he himself had experienced exactly the same incident, leaving Shen Pei, who had originally planned to leave, behind in Wei County.
Therefore, Professor Ju knew very well how far Li Shushi had no lower limit in certain aspects.
"However, we currently have no shortage of available talents, and my lord has to look for them outside. If we give high positions to outsiders, I'm afraid it will dampen the enthusiasm of the students we train for their careers. But if we don't pay attention to them, won't we?
Causes waste..."
Although he knew some of Li Shushi's bad habits, Jushu still expressed some of his worries. After all, after nearly ten years, the official school with Li Shushi's full support has begun to produce qualified "products". These people may be
They cannot compare with outsiders in terms of ability, but because they are "one of our own", they are Li Shushi's true foundation.
"It doesn't matter. Good talents are like awls in a skin. I don't need to give them high positions. As long as they have the ability, they can climb up from the bottom step by step. Then there are still people complaining and gossiping about it.
, then these gossips themselves are not suitable to continue to stay in the Bingzhou Army, otherwise they will be a disaster sooner or later.
Moreover, if employees are only divided based on which circle they come from, what is the difference from the current inspection and promotion system? The water pool must be filled with fresh living water, and the old rotten water can flow out to maintain freshness and vitality at all times and not change.
It has become a stagnant water; if you want to make the antelopes on the grassland run faster, you must let them
There are wolves around them; there is competition pressure so they don't just think about peace and enjoyment all the time. The introduction of these outsiders is similar to Tuoba Liwei, Yelida and others who were put on the grassland.
Natural selection, survival of the fittest, survival of the fittest... Well, how should I say the next sentence more neatly?"
Pfft.
What was originally a serious topic turned Li Shushi's last words, which could be called a divine turn, into a joke. However, in this smiling smile, it made the three Bingzhou Army ministers present feel deeply in their hearts.
In deep contemplation.
In addition to the seemingly fresh idea mentioned by Li Shushi, there are naturally also the questions left by Li Shushi just now.
Should we give priority to matters in the north or issues in Xuzhou in the south?
In other words, what kind of mentality should be used to deal with threats from the north and temptations from the south.
Pan Sen: I recommend a virtual online game called "Online Game Sword of Order". This book is not a pure DND, but it is more real than a pure DND... just a little bit. If the author can keep the style of the previous twenty chapters
If so, how do you think it should become a good book - although we really want to complain about his description of the purchasing power of gold coins in the game... (To be continued, please search Piaotian Literature, the novel is better and updated faster!
