57. Spring is cold

"Ziqi, have you finished writing the "Spring Plowing Plan"? Bring it over and let me review it. Top novel,"

"Yanlong, have you finished calculating the hours of corvee service reported by the local government? The river channel is in a hurry to use it."

"Ziqi, Hucao's budget for this year has been completed. Which projects reported by our workers can be fully paid. If we know earlier, we can make corresponding preparations. The ground is about to thaw. If we don't prepare now, it will affect It’s on schedule.”

"Yanlong, my lord asked you to draft these contents into an official letter and send it to the corresponding departments. You also need to prepare an announcement for these several regulations, and then submit them to the printing department for printing as soon as possible."

"Zi Qi, have the textbooks for official schools at all levels been revised this year? School is about to start. Teachers also need time to familiarize themselves with the new curriculum. This matter is a top priority. If something goes wrong, I will definitely raise it to the lord. You two will be removed from office and imprisoned!"

"Yanlong, have the various atlases needed by the military academy been sorted out? The master has recently assigned a lot of tasks. If there is no latest geographical atlas, it will be a trivial matter that our tasks are not completed well. If something goes wrong on the battlefield, What’s the problem, hum!”

"Hey, Ziqi and Yanlong, are you ready with everything you need for medical school this year? My husband said that this matter will be left to you."

"Can you let us die for a while?" by Poor Two Birds.

"No." by a group of officials from various departments in Bingzhou with red eyes and glaring beards.

"Okay, as long as you take care of my affairs, whether you will die for real or fake death will have nothing to do with me."

And Su Xiaololi, who had no living creature except two people within a five-foot radius, gave her the final blow.

The office of Bingzhou Mu is still so busy.

Although for some young people, such busyness is as scary as hell.

"Hey...it's been a long time, it's been a long time. I haven't been so leisurely for a long time since I left my hometown in Dong'a."

"Hiss Liu... If Zhongde plans to submit a resignation and retirement report to me, I will definitely not allow it."

"Hiss...I am now a county prince who does not deserve the name. For the sake of my family's descendants, I have to work hard for ten more years."

"That's good. Although young people are energetic and full of impetus, they are bound to be careless. If it weren't for a veteran like you to hold the line, I'm really afraid that they would make trouble. At least the experience of these two days should be able to make them feel bored and arrogant. Be more restrained."

"Hiss... It's good for young people to be a little arrogant, but it's also good to let them know humility and respect for the elderly."

"Hiss... Zhongde, how is this year's tea? This is a rare variety sent by Zhang Zizhong from Yizhou. I heard that in the entire Yizhou, only a small amount of tea is produced on the cliff on one side of Jinping Mountain. Even Liu Jiyu I’m afraid I won’t even be able to drink this good stuff.”

"No wonder, no wonder, but my lord, how could Zhang Zizhong think of giving you such a precious fragrant tea from thousands of miles away?"

"Ah. This was originally a tribute to the old man from Zizhong, but the old man was good at wine, so he gave it all to me."

"Then what?"

"I gave the old man the black tea that Yuzi-chan got from Kuaiji and the black tea that Wu Jun got. He happily accepted it."

"If Zhang Zizhong hears about this kind of thing, he will definitely come from Yizhou and beat you up."

"Then tell him, then imprison him in Jinyang and let the old man do his work until he changes his mind."

"My lord, are you kidding me?"

"It is indeed a joke."

"I always feel like my lord, you have become a different person after you suddenly skipped work for two days for no reason."

"This must be your imagination."

"And I won't perform on stage at the Spring Festival festival I'm preparing for this year. I even vowed, 'It doesn't matter if I don't perform this year.'"

"The main reason is that if the same bridge is used too much, it will have the opposite effect."

"Sizhou, which originally had less than ideal moisture conditions, has recently received rain and snow. And it's just right."

"It seems that Zhong Yao should be asked to hold a ceremony to thank God for the gifts from God. To cultivate our spirit of gratitude. If the harvest is good during the autumn harvest, another large-scale harvest festival should be held."

"So, my lord, what have you experienced in the past two days? Can you share it?"

"Zhongde, you have also become worse. Aren't you afraid that Tamago-chan will be angry when she hears these words of yours?"

"Okay, if you don't say it, don't say it. Don't use 'weapons of mass destruction' casually!"

"You will be satisfied if I don't play 'close the door and let the xx' play for you. It's not a country that is not afraid of its four aircraft carriers."

Well, looking at Cheng Yu's face, you can tell that he didn't understand what Li Shuzhen said at all.

"Guan Jing has left." In desperation, Cheng Yu had no choice but to change the topic.

"Do you think Gongsun Zan can accept such an ending?"

"Maybe, maybe not, but no matter what the choice is, it's not a big problem for us."

"If Gongsun Zan was a hero, I think he would not accept such an ending, because the only thing that supports the hero's progress is the word 'ambition'. Without these two words, the hero will no longer have the meaning and value of existence.

Life is worse than death."

"Then my lord thinks that Gongsun Zan is qualified to be the 'hero' that my lord calls him?"

"In fact, in my opinion, he is not so much a hero as a common man with too simple ideas."

"Yuan Shao would definitely be very dissatisfied if he heard my lord's comments. Just a common man made him waste so much energy. If Gongsun Zan was a tycoon with 'lofty ambitions', wouldn't Yuan Shao have died a long time ago?"

Land?"

"Then Zhongde thinks who is more qualified to be called a hero, Gongsun Zan or Dong Zhongying?"

"Of course it's Dong Zhuo."

"Then do you think who will win between Dong and Yuan now that Gongsun Zan's resources are handed over to Dong Zhuo?"

"This conclusion is not easy to draw. At least those Xianbei and Wuwan people will not devote all their efforts to helping Yuan Shao. But with Liu Bo'an's wisdom, I am afraid that his restrictions on Dong Zhuo will be even greater than Gongsun Zan's. In addition, Yuan Shao will not be able to do anything.

The chances of winning are still not small.”

"Looking at it this way, it's really lucky that Yuan Shao didn't put us as his primary target."

"It can only be said that the lord always chooses a relatively good path at a relatively suitable time. But then, if the lord wants to be opportunistic, it will not be so easy."

"Actually, Zhongde, you want to say that it is completely impossible. I am right."

"Then are you ready, my lord, to become the enemy of the world and embark on a road of no return that can only go forward?"

"Actually, I didn't expect that I would reach this point."

"Maybe my lord, you really haven't thought about it that way. In fact, we didn't have such treasonous thoughts at the beginning. Let me tell you something that my lord may not be happy to hear. Others don't know, but Li always hoped to escape from the cage of my lord at first.

But whether it was me, Fengxian, Zhengdao, or Han Sheng, when the general died unexpectedly and Dong Zhuo entered Luoyang and successfully seized the supreme power of the Han Dynasty, we were all convinced that our lord might have a chance to become

The one who ends everything."

"This is really flattering to me."

"Why... you've reached this point and you still don't want to admit it? Even if you don't have ambition, you should keep going."

"I thought Zhongde would say something like, 'Since you don't like it, you can just do it for me instead.'"

"My lord, please don't laugh. I have thought about this thought more than once."

"Hey, hey, even if I, the lord, often have no sense of existence, is it really okay to say such things in front of me?"

"Probably because I can't deny such a thing even if I want to, and under Wen He's surveillance, I don't dare to take action at all."

"Why not try to win over others?"

"My lord, do you really want someone to rebel against you, and a subordinate who has endured hardship for you for more than ten years?"

"Maybe... maybe I'm just curious."

"Um?"

"Actually, at first I just wanted to work as an ordinary grocer. Then I wanted to find a woman who was neither beautiful nor ugly to marry, even if she was a little older than me. It didn't matter. I wanted to have four children, preferably two sons.

.Two daughters. When their children got married and started their own business, they moved to live in the mountains, grew old slowly, and finally passed away before their wives.

You see, this is the life ambition of a grocer's boy with no big ambitions."

"Then why did you get to where you are now step by step?"

"Probably because it gently awakened some people's sleeping hearts and made them slowly open their eyes, there were more people around them who probably would never have interacted with each other. I can't say that I got here in a daze, but I can say that

It’s no exaggeration to say it’s a miracle.”

"But it seems that the master didn't feel confused before. Even if we work together, we can't get back that energy."

"I just feel that those lofty goals are really too far away from me."

"So what now?"

"Now that we've come this far, it's probably impossible to look back."

"Then if someone tells the lord that for the sake of an unprecedentedly powerful enemy, everything he has now must be entrusted to someone who is more capable of commanding everything, what will the lord choose?"

"Hehe, does Zhongde really think that such a person will appear?"

"How could I, 'Biejia', not know everything that happened in Pingcheng? And for Cao Mengde to be as good as he is today, my lord can be regarded as taking the greatest credit."

"Don't I, Yuan Benchu ​​and Cao Mengde think this situation would be very interesting?"

"Then what's your answer to the question just now, my lord?"

"There is no problem with unified command, but giving up my own independence? I have already passed that age of innocence. In order to protect what I want to protect, I work hard to improve myself, whether it is my own strength or the power in my hands.

Because I believe that these things can protect the things I want to protect. In this case, why should I hand over this power? Do I place my hope on others? Then what is the purpose of my efforts for so long?

?”

"Then since my lord has such thoughts, how should he face the late emperor and His Majesty?"

"If the situation allows, then it might be a good result for me to become Qi Huan. If I can't be Qi Huan, then let me become King Wen of Zhou. But I still don't think this will be a good idea, not only because of opening a

The bad atmosphere is due to the fact that there is no dynasty that lasts forever in this world. There are only long-established families. Zhongde, can you understand my worries?"

"Then the master already has a case?"

"No, I don't have a better idea yet. But one thing I still know very well is that even if I have to make a certain degree of compromise, the initiative to make the compromise must be firmly in my hands!

How about it, do you feel that your years of hard work have paid off?"

"I always feel that Old General Huangfu and Old General Zhu will be very angry when they hear what my lord said."

"The two of them...maybe they really won't do what Zhongde thinks."

"Oh? Does the Lord think that these two people will give up the loyalty in their hearts?"

"It's not like giving up. But when Huangfu's old general Jin Chan escaped from his shell and sent Jizhou soldiers back to Jizhou, he hid in Bingzhou; when old general Zhu gave up Henan and agreed to be the governor of Yongzhou, did they just expect me to become a minister like Duke Zhou?

?”

"Isn't it?"

"They have been fighting for one thing all their lives, so it is really difficult to change their own ideas. However, their nephews do not seem to intend to inherit their ideas, and they themselves

I am not completely opposed to such a situation. This may be seen as a sign of compromise, which is what you and Wen He are willing to see, right?"

"Then my lord has made up his mind?"

"To be honest, until now, I am still not completely sure whether I have the ability to reach that position. However, I no longer feel confused, because no matter what, I have to reach that position, even if I

I may think that I am not competent. I cannot afford the result of failure, whether active or passive."

"Although I can't say that I am completely satisfied, if my lord can have such an awareness, we will definitely be very happy."

"Haha, so. Let me give you a reason, so that everyone is willing to accompany me to continue walking, continue to go crazy, and see what kind of ending will come in the end. Will you become the master of this era, or will you become the master of this era?

Passengers of the times.”

"But my lord, no one of the enemies in front of you is weak."

"Hu Qi, who can cause weird angles and lead a boundless army, plots with all forces...haven't we all come together? The power of one person may be very small and inconspicuous, but if the power of everyone is combined

United together, we are invincible!"

"Since my lord is so confident, our policy should also be fine-tuned."

"We don't need to worry about Yizhou's affairs. Let Zhang Lu and Liu Zhang continue to fight each other. We don't have the energy to peek into a chaotic Yizhou for the time being, but a chaotic Yizhou is the most beneficial to us, and it is also beneficial to us.

Our westbound plan also helps."

"Liu Biao of Jingzhou has been on the verge of making some moves recently. After gathering the defeated troops who retreated from Yizhou into Jingzhou, he turned his energy completely to us. Maybe it won't be long before there should be some action on the Nanyang side. And didn't Wen He mention it before?

Zi Liu Pan, a brave man, performed well in the battle to put down the rebel Zongshuai in Nanjun, and was an active advocate of the counterattack against Nanyang."

"In the case of Nanyang, it is enough to maintain the front line between Rangxian and Xinye. There is no need to advance to the coast of Han River to stimulate Liu Biao."

"My lord, you are seriously joking. Even if we advance to the coast of Han River, it is better not to think too much with our fleet commander."

"Guan Cheng is familiar with water, and his men are unrivaled in the Yellow River. Are they still unable to compete with the Jiangnan Navy? Although I also know that these guys have quickly become fishermen and water transport businessmen in recent years.

Already."

"Li has been to the south of the Yangtze River in his early years, and knows that the water network there is dense and the flow direction is complicated, not to mention the river is wide. Even if the Yellow River and the sea are unobstructed despite security checks, I dare not say whether there are still dragons on the river.

"

Therefore, even an extremely powerful ironclad ship at sea can be scuttled by a group of millet and rifle artillery if it sails into the Yangtze River. Therefore, future aircraft carrier regulations must also have warning signs such as "Do not approach the bay terrain."

It's just that the navy is too far away for the current Bingzhou Army. Even if Guan Cheng's troops are actually a group of very skilled sailors on the Yellow River, the boats they use are not that kind.

Small walking boats are the kind of transport ships that although large, can only transport troops, and their water warfare capabilities are not even as good as walking boats. They are also the main tool for Guan Cheng and his men to make a living.

He didn't even have the skills to speak on a ship, let alone a battleship. Cheng Yu believed that Li Shushi's sailors couldn't defeat a very professional and powerful naval group like Jing Yang, but he didn't really want to attack Li Shushi.

Not to mention anything else, when faced with those little goons, the racket stick on the fighting ship is absolutely accurate and smashes them.

Unless the civil servants in Li Shushi's hands were rich enough to use them as forts, a ship would be equipped with one or two hundred "forts". Even a single concentrated fire would most likely cause heavy losses to one of the opponent's ships.

Of course, if Li Shushi's water strategy? Whirlpool can be widely popularized, it is estimated that no one will dare to act on the water in the future - at least they will not dare to act blatantly. Li Shushi believes that the lethality of that thing is the most terrifying.

It's just that with Li Shushi's IQ level, unless this strategy is directly imprinted in his mind, he will probably never learn it. At least even with reverse analysis, he will not be able to learn even the simplest water strategy.

"But speaking of the unusual movements in Jingzhou this time, I think Zhang Yuanjiang needs to be reminded to pay attention to one person."

"Besides Wen Pin and Cai Mao, is there anyone in the Jingzhou army who needs my lord's attention?"

"This man is not a general under the Jingzhou Army."

"My lord is talking about those people who retreated from Yizhou to Jingzhou... Could it be that Gan Ning Gan Xingba?"

"Oh~ Zhongde also knows this person?"

"I just think this person is interesting. If he were younger, maybe the two of us would have a good temperament."

"This Gan Xingba is a good fighter on the water, and he will also be a fierce general with unwavering loyalty on land."

"Does my lord really say that? This time, my lord didn't see it with his own eyes."

"Commanding the army to decide the outcome in front of the formation, Gan Xingba may not be very strong, but if he is used as the vanguard to sneak attack the camp and penetrate the enemy's formation, his bravery will definitely live up to the trust. And Wen He once

I spent a lot of effort investigating this person, although my subordinate Jinfan

The thief is only a few hundred warriors. But no one can defeat him wherever he goes in this rebellion, not even Yan Yan, the governor of Bajun, can do anything. However, his soldiers are only a few hundred soldiers after all, and it is difficult to defeat hundreds of soldiers head-on.

The army of ten thousand had to be defeated in Jingzhou."

"My lord, have you developed a love for talents?"

"Even if I really intend to take him under my command, I'm afraid that it will attract Liu Biao's attention. When he is depressed and frustrated under Liu Biao, a guy who doesn't know how to fight, it won't be too late for us to take action. Well, Zhongde, you have to do this.

Remember it for me too."

"Okay, if this Gan Xingba really has the talent that my lord said, then the natural dangers of the Yangtze River will hinder us a lot. But my lord wants to remind Zhang Yuanjiang to pay attention to this Gan Xingba's thoughts... I'm afraid

It’s inappropriate.”

"But I'm afraid that if I don't remind him, something unexpected might happen if we meet him suddenly."

"But my lord, you also know that although Zhang Yuanjiang has invited Confucian scholars to lecture on scriptures and Taoism for him over the years, as if he wants to be an elegant man, he still has his own pride in being a general. Therefore, my lord, you take the initiative to remind Zhang Yuanjiang

Maybe you won’t get his gratitude, but you won’t lose anything if you don’t remind him.”

"It's just that this makes me feel uneasy."

"Then we can only let Wenhe report the situation of the generals who retreated from Yizhou to Jingzhou to Yuanjiang, which may alert Yuanjiang."

"That seems to be the only way it can be. Well, things in the south have been arranged like this. As for the matters on the northern grasslands, we don't have to worry too much for the time being. We will leave it to Yuwen Tuo to deal with. At least compared to us 'outsiders',

After all, Yuwen Tuo was a local, so he was the best choice in terms of connections and popularity. Even if Qianman wanted to instigate the outstanding young people from the Xianbei tribe under him a while ago, he was in trouble.

"

"But my lord, by doing this, aren't you cultivating a new sandalwood tree on the grassland, and it is even more powerful?"

"Hahahaha, Zhongde, you really don't need to worry about this matter, because compared to me, Yuwen Tuo is the most irresponsible man. And even if he really suddenly becomes attached to this land on a whim, he doesn't want to leave.

If he goes, there will be his 'old acquaintances' who will solve his 'trouble' and ensure after-sales service, so we don't have to worry about this matter at all."

"My lord means...that Yuwen Tuoye..."

"Actually, I don't know about this. It's just that a big shot who claims to be 'a spittle can smash a hole' has promised me, so just believe it. Even if she really breaks the promise, we can still get something else."

compensation. Even in the worst case scenario, we still have more than one life-and-death enemy here. If we win, do we still need to be afraid of using the strength of the whole country to fight Yuwen Tuo to the death? If we lose, why bother?

We need to dwell on this kind of problem.”

"My lord, you are really confident about this promise."

"This... can be regarded as an intuition."

Unknowingly, the third year of Jian'an was coming, and Li Shushi was ready to embark on a journey to a higher peak.

He is here. (To be continued...)
