After "friendly negotiations" between Li Shushi and Cao Ren, the two finally reached an agreement on the distribution of the Yellow Turban prisoners.
Well, this is probably another important reason why Cao Cao sent Cao Ren here - when there is a dispute over interests, only Cao Ren, who has been trained by Li Shushi for many years, can show off his dignity and compete with Li Shushi for every penny.
He didn't hesitate to get red in the face, and he wasn't even afraid of any rifts caused by such a dispute.
Of course, the two people also divided up the food and grass that Yuan Shu had not had time to destroy. Except for a small part of what Yuan Shu desperately searched for, Li Shushi took it out to help the local and surrounding areas that had become hungry and poor due to Yuan Shu and natural disasters.
The people will naturally not return the rest, because these grains and grass will be of great use to Li Shushi and Cao Ren.
The latter has lost a large amount of control area and population due to the rise of Sun Ce in the past two years. Even if Li Shushi obtained the farming method from Cao Ren in advance due to the emergence of Li Shushi, the amount of food and grass that can be accumulated by several counties is still limited. Let alone
It is said that Cao Cao took advantage of the resurgence of the Yellow Turban Army to recruit and surrender many Yellow Turban Army soldiers and the young and old who followed them. The food gap was huge.
Even if the land that was once taken away by Yuan Shu could be recaptured this time, whether it is the collection of taxes or the restoration of production, it will definitely not be solved in just one or two years, but these newly won lands still need
Cao Cao paid some money and food.
Therefore, compared to the captured Yellow Turban soldiers, Cao Ren valued the large amount of food and grass that could solve the urgent need.
It is said that because Yuan Shu's conquests and plundering were to some extent greater than Dong Zhuo's, Li Shushi and Cao Ren didn't even need to worry about the lack of food and grass that they had worried about before. They didn't need to rob those powerful gentry at all, they could just focus on Yuan Shu.
Enough.
So now, in the eyes of these two guys who have a bit of a "Jiaqing" style, Yuan Shu is a big "Heshen".
As for Li Shushi, he never thought that the population under his rule was too small. In fact, after these years of turmoil, even the fertile soil in the Guanzhong area was still unable to withstand the influence of the turmoil. In other words, under his rule, in addition to being a
In addition to the two river areas of Ha Dong and Hanoi, the population of the remaining areas is really unsatisfactory.
Especially now that he has some high-yielding crops, although they cannot be promoted on a large scale due to concerns about soil fertility. But at least he does not have to worry like Cao Cao about having too many people under his rule and not having enough food to feed him. Even in another position
In the history above, even during the Battle of Guandu, this situation was still not out of the question, so that they had to resort to entrapment and killing methods to deal with the surrendered soldiers of Yuan Shao's army - of course, you can still see Cheng Yu's strength in this matter.
shadow.
Therefore, whether it is reduced soldiers or food and grass, it is not simply divided in half, but Li Shushi gets more people. Cao Ren gets more things - more means more. But not all. Otherwise, these reduced soldiers plus their family members
The total number of people Chen Jun is planning to take away is also a large number. Even if Li Shuzhen can eat the food he currently has, it would be a little less burdensome.
After all, God knows if the place is too big and we can take care of all the pits above our heads. If there are three droughts and five floods, wouldn’t this easily threaten the food security and local stability? By then, even real money will not be as good as one.
Cangcang grain is the most important thing.
I really don’t know how expensive firewood and rice are, so I haven’t seen a lot more white hair on Cheng Yu’s head in the past few days.
Well, in fact, Cheng Yu is nothing. Even after being squeezed by Li Shushi for so many years, he still looks like a middle-aged handsome man. But if you look carefully, you can find some signs of aging. Well, Su Xiaololi’s health care soup and aerobics stand
Great achievement.
Thousands of years later, the top leader of one of the most technologically developed countries in the world was so high-spirited and heroic before he came to power, but every two years, his face became wrinkled and his hair turned gray.
The miserable look makes people sigh.
Well, although medical treatment is advanced, as a leader, plastic surgery is not allowed, otherwise it is said to be "deceiving voters".
In a word: Cheng Yu is very durable and has a lot of room for improvement.
(Cheng Yu: Come here, come here quickly, I absolutely promise not to beat you to death!)
The battle is almost over here. Perhaps Yuan Shao hopes to defeat Yuan Shu in one go, but unless he can provide more support, Li Shushi will never devote more troops to the battlefield.
Of course, more importantly, I believe Cao Cao's offensive attack will not be too strong.
The main intention of this war is that Cao Cao intends to legitimately extend his power into Xuzhou in the name of revenge for his father. At the same time, because of Yuan Shu's interference, Cao Cao also hopes to use a hearty victory to regain the power that Yuan Shu had hit.
Reputation and morale.
Now Yuan Shu's army on the western front was severely defeated. Two of the four generals were killed and tens of thousands of soldiers were lost. On the eastern front, although it was not as tragic as the western front, the battle at Sheqiu still cost Yuan Shu more than 20,000 soldiers.
People, most of the losses came from Yuan Shu's army who entered the battlefield in the final stage of the war - originally
Zhou Yu also planned to move this force behind the coalition forces and give the opponent the greatest fruit of victory. This would not only win the war, but also make Yuan Shu look better because the troops under Yuan Shu's command would become the decisive force affecting the development of the war situation.
Alleviating the trouble caused by Sun Ce's dominance under Yuan Shu.
It is a pity that this approach not only failed to achieve the expected results, but also caused Sun Ce and Yuan Shu to become enemies because of this incident.
Because when this force appeared on the battlefield, Zhou Yu not only did not command the troops to turn around and counterattack while Cao Cao's army was in doubt, but instead ordered the Sun family's old troops to quickly withdraw from the battlefield, throwing the accusation of "the queen" to the unaccounted for.
"reinforcements".
Zhou Yu actually thought very clearly: at that time, the balance of power between the two sides on the battlefield would not fundamentally change because of the appearance of tens of thousands of reinforcements, and even if they returned to fight and win the battle. The Sun family's
The old army will definitely suffer heavy losses - such a result will definitely make Yuan Shu wake up from sleep laughing, but it will be a disaster for Sun Ce.
The most important thing is that at that time, Sun Ce had personally admitted that he was defeated at the hands of the veteran general Han Juzi. He was extremely strong and unwilling to use his super recovery power to return to the battlefield and bully the old man. Zhou Yu was naturally happy to go along with the situation.
Therefore, for the sake of Sun Ce's future, Zhou Yu, as a good gay friend, does not mind taking the blame on himself.
Originally, if these more than 10,000 fresh troops appeared on the battlefield when the outcome was still undecided, the defeated side would most likely become the coalition army. However, they arrived at the wrong time. Not only did they encounter the coalition army in full swing,
Moreover, the friendly forces were cheating and ran away without saying a word. Yuan Shujun, who was still confused about the situation on the battlefield, immediately panicked.
.How big of a defeat would it take to achieve such a result? This was probably what the commander of Yuan Shujun who came for reinforcements had in mind.
The reason why Yuan Shujun became brave was largely because of the encouragement of Sun Ce, the God of War of Yuan Shujun. When the God of War fell, these Yuan Shujun soldiers, even if they were extremely courageous, would become at a loss, and even more so.
Not to mention most Yuan Shu
The generals of the army are still the kind of beings who really don't deserve to be on the stage. As a result, they turned around and ran away without saying a word. For fear that if they ran too late, they would be caught and cut into pieces by Cao Cao's army who looked like tigers and wolves on the opposite side. They were declared defeated that year.
All kinds of shame gained.
As long as something like a crushing defeat happens, no matter how strong the warrior is, he will turn into a weak sheep, let alone a group of hyenas who bully the weak and fear the strong. Well, this is already the greatest praise and description for them.
Against the coalition forces that are like tigers and wolves, any resistance, resistance, or counterattack are all in vain, and escape is the most important thing.
However, facing the powerful cavalry under Cao Cao's army, can a two-legged escaper really escape?
Therefore, even though it cannot be compared with the results on the Western Front, the Eastern Front also severely damaged Yuan Shu's army.
In this way, Yuan Shu not only lost the ability to continue to interfere in Xuzhou, but also lost the vast land of Yanzhou and Yuzhou.
To go further, we have to step into Jiujiang County and face Yuan Shu's army, which is huddled in Jiujiang County and is preparing to resist desperately. Of course, there is also Shouchun Jiancheng - no matter which one we face, even with the strength of the Bingzhou Army, we need to deal with it carefully.
Not to mention the weakened Union Army.
Cao Cao, who suddenly took over Yanzhou and Yuzhou, was like Li Shushi, who suddenly took over Guanzhong and Liangzhou. His strength expanded too fast. If he didn't stop to digest it, he would definitely suffer from indigestion. Because of the newly occupied area
There are too many issues that need to be sorted out, and the issues between the local powerful families in the Central Plains are more complicated and involve more relationships. If they are not handled well, I am afraid that not only will they not be able to provide what is needed, but they will become a stumbling block behind them.
.
In the history of another dimension, Cao Cao settled his feudal state in Yecheng. To a large extent, he wanted to use himself to suppress the resistance forces in Hebei. Until his son Cao Pi succeeded to the throne, perhaps he felt that Hebei was settled, and then
Moved the political center back to Luoyang.
Therefore, Li Shushi could judge that Cao Cao had no motivation to make progress, and he also had no motivation to continue.
Well, this also means that from now on, he has enough time to complete some things that he has already made a list of, and of course, there are also things that Su Xiaoluoli, who has also made a list, needs him to do.
In Li Shushi's view, the only difference between the two lists is that one is serious business, while the other is a complete tourist attraction.
Well, I can’t let Loli accompany me out for nothing. I should properly satisfy Loli’s request for coquettishness.
Besides, you might encounter some unexpected surprises along the way, just like the governor of another dimension in history, the Governor of Eastern Wu and the first governor of Western Shu, as well as an uncle named Shuzhi who was harvested in this battle.
A beautiful girl with a sense of contradiction.
What? You said there is one less.
Ahem, even if that damn guy Miaocai wrote something like "I'll leave my niece to you, I don't worry...", Li Shushi is definitely not the kind of person who detains beautiful girls in the hope of harvesting something under the influence of Stockholm Syndrome.
Change to that state!
So I still have to ask my beautiful girl to go back and talk to her family. After all, she is not yet fourteen years old, and she is not a good man with ambitions in all directions. Both of them have a restless character. Even my mother can secretly secretly tell her at home.
If you run out, you deserve to be tricked.
Just when Li Shushi and Cao Cao had a tacit understanding to slow down their progress, and were ready to end the war with Yuan Shu's army at any time, and focus on their respective goals, someone seemed to be losing miserably.
Yuan Shujun could no longer hold back.
"General, do you think the governor's plan can succeed? After all, Yuan Shu can use it. Didn't that saying say that even if the ship is ruined, there are still three thousand nails. We were suppressed in the city before and couldn't move. Now even if
Yuan Shu's army has temporarily retreated, so he should worry about whether the other party will come back again and regain the prefectures and counties. Even just thinking about it seems completely impossible."
"You are the only one who talks too much! The prefect has been very kind to us, no matter what you think. Anyway, my life, Hu Li, is sold to you. No matter what I may encounter in the future, I will never do it anyway.
Those who shrink back must complete the orders given by the adults even if they die. If you feel there is danger, you can leave. Anyway, you can get quite a lot of nourishment in the mountains without me."
"Da, uh, general, he is a general. We have all paid homage to heaven and earth. The oath of 'not to be born in the same year and the same month, but to die in the same year and the same month' has been borne by heaven and earth. In just one sentence, all of us brothers have been
It would be too heartless to send him away."
"Good brother, big brother, oh no, this general knows that you are all good brothers. Grandma, if I hadn't promised the prefect to change the 'banditness' on me, I really wouldn't want to be called such an awkward name.
.”
"But General, I always find Yuan Shu's retreat suspicious. He could have been surrounding us all the time, so why did he suddenly retreat?"
"Yes, General. Wasn't it the same when the army surrounded and suppressed us? They suddenly withdrew and were waiting for us to come out..."
"Haha, if you are worried about this, I can safely tell you that our army is just a cover. The prefect's army is hidden behind us and can respond to us at any time. I am still worried that the enemy will not come."
Well, after hearing these words, everyone's heads were full of black threads. Although we are really touched and moved by your trust in us, brother, but you kept such a secret so casually and loudly.
Are you really a man to tell us what happened? Aren't you afraid that Yuan Shu has planted sentries around us? It has been proven before that there are quite a lot of traitors in our army, and they have tricked everyone again and again. It is said that the city can be defended until
I'm really lucky now, isn't it?
So you know, even if a bird suspected to be a homing pigeon flew out from nearby not long after these people talked, it would not be surprising. Anyway, this kind of bird can often be seen in the sky around here recently.
Soar in.
As for what the "prefect" these people call him is doing now? Is he the high-spirited leader of the army behind him?
The answer is actually no, because the "prefect" not only has not commanded the army to set off, but is actually talking to two children at his house. Judging from the clothes of the two children, it seems that they are going to travel far away.
There were also several attendants carrying packages on their backs. But what was a little surprising was that tears were flowing from the corners of these attendants' eyes and they couldn't stop it.
"Okay, Yi'er, Ji'er, I won't see you off anymore. When you get to Qu'a, you must listen to Yuan Tan and Lan Hui and stop being naughty. Remember to read more, but don't comment on the government affairs casually.
On weekdays in the countryside, you can read with some people
Socialize with peers, listen more to what they have to say, but don’t make comments easily. Whether you have different opinions or don’t understand, you can ask Yuan Tan at the appropriate time. Yuan Tan is careful and prudent, so you can listen more.
His insights.”
"My great-uncle, can my cousin-in-law and I learn how to defeat the enemy and defeat the rebels?"
"Haha, my uncle knows that although Yi'er is young, he is very ambitious. If the current situation is not so chaotic, he may really have the opportunity to achieve the achievement of becoming a general and becoming a prime minister, and become the most promising child of my Lu family. But.
But it doesn't work now. At this time, even if you are talented, if you don't know how to protect yourself, it is of no use. Only by learning how to protect yourself can you live until the day when you can use your talents.
Do you understand?"
"Uncle, you didn't answer Yi'er's question at all. You said you can't avoid the question."
"Haha~ Didn't my uncle tell you a long time ago that as long as you are willing to read, you can find any truth in the book. The book contains principles on how to be a human being, how to serve the government and love the people, and there are also principles on marching and fighting in the book.
The way to defeat the enemy. As long as you read more, carefully understand every sentence in the book, and understand the writer's thoughts, you will find that you have understood a lot without knowing it. So even though it seems to be escaping for the time being
, but that is for the future, for the family, and for yourself."
"But since your uncle taught Yi'er this way, why didn't your uncle go with Yi'er and Ji'er? Just like you said. For the future, for the family, and for yourself, you can also choose to stay away from the limelight for a while.
Yi'er's father left Yi'er very early, so Yi'er knew that his father was not around
It's such an uncomfortable thing to be around. Although my uncle is also very kind to Yi'er, my uncle is a family member with the same surname. If he goes to the house of someone with a different surname, Ji'er will not only have to endure the pain that Yi'er endured, but he will even have to bear the pain of someone with a different surname.
How can my great uncle bear to see his own son suffer such hardships?"
"So you are waiting for me here. What a surprising kid. Perhaps the future reputation of my Lu family will depend on your family to revitalize it."
In response to the elders' praise, "Yi'er" did not show a happy expression, but became even more sad.
After touching the heads of the two children, especially the younger "Ji'er", they were given loving looks. The eyes were full of deep love and reluctance, but they only continued.
After a short while, it was replaced by another determined emotion.
"Sages have said that if you don't do something, you will have to do something. If you are ordered by the king to guard this place, if you abandon it and don't guard it, it is disloyal. If the people look up to you and resist, if you abandon it and don't guard it, you will not be loyal.
, this is unjust; I want the people to be rich, but there are tigers and wolves enemies outside. If the city is destroyed, the people will not be able to survive. To abandon it and not defend it is unkind. Yi'er, you want to make me, uncle, unfaithful, unjust and unkind.
Someone?"
"...Yi'er, you can't!"
"That's right~ You and Ji'er are still young and can't do much now. But you will eventually grow up, and the honor and disgrace of the Lu family will eventually have to be shouldered by you. If you can't do it by then,
Even if I'm under the influence of Jiuquan, I will still be so angry that I can't sleep well, you know? If you are very filial, then don't let me not even have a good night's sleep."
At this time, there was already a lot of crying in the room. The originally suppressed cries and tears could no longer be suppressed at this time, rushing out of the body like a spring, and the six or seven-year-old child named "Ji'er" even more
Tears and snot flew from his eyes, and the child's ignorant but sensible wailing made the owner of the hand on his head heartbroken.
But some things are destined to be unchangeable.
Just like he has made a vow, his future may have been doomed from the beginning. Although he will not regret his decision, what parent does not love his children? Just between family affection and loyalty,
Between his own children and thousands of people, he chose the seemingly more cruel option of abandoning the small self to fulfill the larger self that seemed to have nothing to do with him.
However, in the room full of sadness that was so intense that it was about to materialize, there was a different person, who seemed to be unmoved by the sad atmosphere at this moment, with a firm look on his face and no tears in his eyes.
There are only young hands that are tightly clenched.
"Uncle!" The childish voice pierced the sad atmosphere in the room, and everyone couldn't help but cast their eyes on the child who still had a firm expression. However, no one showed any weird or reproachful emotions, because this child
At a younger age, he had already experienced a separation between yin and yang that would make most people collapse. At that time, he was also able to conscientiously complete all the etiquette that should be done after the grief. At that time, many people thought that this would be a very special event.
Just like ordinary children.
"My great-uncle, may I ask, in this era, whether reciting scriptures is more useful, or whether mastering weapons and armor is more important."
"Bingjia's victory is only temporary after all. If you want to heal the scars of this era, you still need books and the knowledge in them."
"Really? Then please forgive my willfulness, uncle, because I hope that I have the power to protect my family, and I hope that my family will never have to face such a sad situation because of such a thing.
"
"You have surprised me so many times today, but no matter what decision you make, I still hope that you will not forget that when you do anything, don't forget to take some time to read more books.
, can you promise me."
"Yes, Yi'er will remember your uncle's teachings closely and will not forget them even for a moment!"
A few days later, Li Shushi received news that Lu Kang, the governor of Lujiang, planned to leave the city to counterattack while Yuan Shu was shrinking his troops. However, he was taken advantage of by the enemy and had to return to Shucheng to defend the city. It seemed that the fall of Lujiang was only a matter of time.
