The Fengfeng Banquet was a noisy night. Anyway, now is the time to rest, so there is no harm in being a little indulgent. Li Shushi also considerately gave the subordinates who have been following him a three-day holiday, so that everyone can have time to clean up the new house and recruit friends.
It was not until the fifth day after Li Shushi arrived in Xihe that the first collective meeting was held in Li Shushi's new residence, the Xihe Prefecture.
There are three main topics in this meeting. The first is to let your subordinates get familiar with each other. After all, many of them are not very familiar to us, especially Guan Yu and Liao Chun who left very early and Xu Huang who just joined. Of course, the last
The main thing is that Li Shushi wants to get to know the only "poison scholar" among these people who he has never met in person, Jia Xu and Jia Wenhe.
The second is to assign tasks to his subordinates for promotion and promotion. Of course, for Li Shushi now, the only titles he can award to his subordinates are military titles, and the level is not high enough and he needs to report to the governor of the state. All in all, it is very troublesome.
That’s it.
The last topic and the main purpose of this meeting is to study how to deal with the barbarians who are ravaging the land of Xihe.
Although Li Shushi was still confused about the situation in Xihe, according to Old Man Tong, when Jia Xu learned that Li Shushi would be in charge of Xihe, he took the initiative to collect information. It was not until the day before yesterday that he got the information that Li Shushi had already arrived.
The news came back in a hurry. After another day of hard work, Li Shushi, a time traveler, was so energetic that even a time traveler was a little surprised.
However, considering that Jia Xu is not yet forty years old, he is in the prime of life, and because he was born in a remote Liangzhou and lacked effective support in his early years, his official career was relatively bumpy. Perhaps now he has a slight affection for Li Shushi, who also came from a grassroots background.
sky
Maybe he has a sense of identity. Maybe in his opinion, he obviously doesn’t need to be as scrupulous about his performance with Li Shushi as he is with those high-ranking officials, just like he was as unscrupulous when he was working under Zhang Xiu in another parallel plane.
, dazzling and dazzling.
Of course, what Li Shushi didn't know was that Jia Xu's family background was actually not bad, but even if he counted his ancestors, he was quite brilliant. His most famous ancestor was the famous Western Han Dynasty poet whose "On the Passage of the Qin Dynasty" was selected into the Chinese language textbook for the first year of high school.
Political commentator and litterateur Jia Yi. Well, he is also the poor man in Li Shangyin's poem "Jia Sheng" who said, "It's a pity that he just sits down at the front table in the middle of the night and doesn't ask about the people or ghosts and gods."
In terms of relatively recent blood relations, Jia Xu's grandfather was also the tenth grandson of Jia Yi, Jia Yan, who once served as the governor of Yanzhou. His great-grandfather Jia Xiuyu also served as the prefect of Wuwei (the founder of the Jia family in Wuwei). Although his father had a low official position, he was also a senior official.
With the word "general", it can be said that Jia Xu's family is in Wuwei County.
He can be considered famous. Of course, even so, he is still a "forgotten corner" for those wealthy families in the Central Plains, but compared to Li Shushi, if he is not a naturalized member of the Xihe Li family, he is basically nothing.
The life experience that can be used is countless times better.
Therefore, it is obviously not that simple for Jia Xu to follow the advice of Yan Zhong, who was once very optimistic about him, and come to Li Shushi.
"There are 13 counties in our Xihe County, namely Lishi, Zhongyang, Pingzhou, Linxian, Yuanyang, Yuanyin, Pingding, Guangyan, Meiji, Pinglu, Yilan, Gaolang, and Lejie. Because
Our Han Dynasty implements the policy of using foreign races as county captains to help guard the border, so most counties are governed by various foreign tribes, although some
Some tribes are very obedient to the officials appointed by our big man, but there are still many foreign tribes who take the opportunity to do evil. They either directly rob caravans, or collude with local officials to use each other to harm one side. At the same time, there are also many who have not received the help of the big man.
Tribes appointed by the imperial court also took the opportunity to enter Xihe territory, among which
Most of the tribes had conflicts with local tribes. Finally, it should be noted that the imperial court had clearly issued an edict to regard Meiji County as the new chanyu of the Southern Xiongnu Chanyu.
The general is also stationed there, so the Huns' movements are the smallest among all the foreign races. But considering
Zhang Xiu, the predecessor of General Zong Lao, once killed the Xiongnu Chanyu Huzheng without permission. Although the court quickly imprisoned Zhang Xiu and General Zong Lao also tried to repair the relationship between the two parties, what was the other party's attitude towards this matter?
It’s still hard to guess what his attitude is, especially when General Zong was injured by Zhang Jiao.”
At this time, Jia Xu was talking to everyone present, and everyone was listening to his story attentively. Although due to long-term research in various places in Xihe, even Lu Bu and others who had come to Xihe long ago did not
I was able to meet Jia Xu once, but judging from his calm performance and eloquent tone, it was obvious that he was fully prepared.
"So besides the Southern Huns, what other relatively powerful forces do we have to face?" Taking advantage of the pause in Jia Xu's speech, Lu Bu asked. Although Li Shushi has not assigned everyone their duties, Lu Bu has already done so in terms of qualifications and military exploits.
He can be called the number one among Li Shushi's subordinates, not to mention his extremely powerful force.
Although he was born in Wuyuan County, which is adjacent to Xihe, Lu Bu did not know much about the situation here. After all, the area where he operated was located at the junction of Wuyuan County and Yunzhong County, and most of his subordinates who later became Ding Yuan were also
Activities in Hedong County. As for others, the Gao Shun family has been at the border for generations, Wei Yue
Before joining the army, Cao Xing was a young man. Before he went to Zhuo County to join Lü Bu, Cao Xing had never left Hedong. Cheng Lian... was a member of Lü Bu's horse bandits. These natives of the Bingzhou Army were like this, as were the civil servants and generals from other places.
Not to mention, all of them were just waiting for Jia Xu to eliminate their illiteracy.
"Although small tribes are troublesome, I have also studied our troops. As long as they are not allowed to unite, they will not cause much trouble to us. The main ones that can cause us more trouble are these few big guys.
, including the Taiyuan Wuwan people who are mainly entrenched in the junction area of Taiyuan County, Yanmen County and Xihe County, the Jie people who are entrenched in Gaolang County and Lin County to the west and north of Lishi, and the Yi people who are entrenched in the upper reaches of the Yellow River in the north of Xihe County.
Tiefu Xiongnu in Lan County, Tuoba Xianbei entrenched between Xihe County and Shangjun, several tribal alliances belonging to the Western Xianbei entrenched in the northwest of Xihe County, and several small tribes connected by the nominal leader of the Xianbei tribe.
Tribe. Although their strength is limited, they are supported by the greedy Helian. The other is the Southern Huns in Meiji County, but I believe that if General Zong is fine, they can not consider it for the time being."
Although Jia Xu's expression was very relaxed when he spoke, the listeners were dripping with cold sweat, because according to this rough calculation, even these big guys have almost divided up Xihe, and there is not much left.
If the small tribes "forage" in the area where the big forces meet, then it will be even more fragmented.
The most important thing is that the relationship between these tribes is complicated, and once they feel Li Shushi's malice, they are likely to have the idea of uniting to warm up together to resist Li Shushi.
I'm afraid it will be difficult to resist the attack of those barbarians even if they help to deal with it, and Li Shushi's fate will be quite tragic by then.
Of course, these tribes are not united now, and the relationship between many tribes is not harmonious. If they can be used properly, it will definitely produce unexpected results. But this involves a lot of intelligence support issues, but
It was a bit difficult for Li Shushi, who had just arrived here and was still confused about the situation here.
So after listening to Jia Xu's preliminary inspection results, Li Shushi felt that he should go to visit the old general who was already in Meiji through Lu Zhi's relationship. Not only should he be able to get the information between the tribes,
Various relationships and secrets, and at the same time, you can also ask for advice on military strategies. After all, as a former opponent, the old general's battlefield command art, Li Shushi, is still very interested in it. Although he has not been able to fight directly, it does not hinder Li Shushi.
correct understanding of it.
"Since Wen He has already made a preliminary investigation, and Wen He was born in Xiliang, where the border troubles are no less than here, so Wen He should have a lot of experience in how to deal with these foreign races, so he must have already known it in his heart.
Now that you have some opinions of your own, you might as well tell them so that everyone can listen, so that everyone can have a preliminary direction."
Jia Xu glanced at Li Shushi curiously, and then continued to describe his thoughts calmly, but there was a certain disturbance in his heart, although the cause was just a look from Li Shushi.
He knew clearly that Yan Zhong had clearly mentioned Li Shushi's interest in him in a letter to him. At that time, although he was still working as a clerk in Chang'an, he was not much different from being anonymous. Although he was in Liangzhou
He is somewhat famous, but that doesn't mean he can be arrogant enough to think that his fame is so great that even a child on the other side of the big man knows it clearly.
But now, through Li Shushi's trusting eyes, Jia Xu felt that he might have made mistakes in some aspects of his understanding. That is, his reputation was indeed not that great, but Li Shushi obviously knew him very well. This contradictory feeling made him
Jia Xu, who was always accustomed to facing all variables calmly, felt a little at a loss. Although he could rely on his usual calmness to prevent the people next to him from seeing any emotional fluctuations, this could not deceive his heart.
"Although it's a bit caught off guard, isn't it interesting?"
Although it's funny to think about it, Jia Xu was calm even when faced with those vicious enemies, but now he feels uneasy when facing a young man who is not yet a minor or even less than half his own age. But this kind of challenge
Life doesn't seem bad, Jia Xu thought to himself. Of course, what he said had nothing to do with any of this.
"In fact, it is not difficult to deal with these alien races. As long as we can properly grasp the relationship between war and peace, we can deal with them. And the most difficult part of this is how to beat them until they hurt.
Those who see our flag will not be determined to resist. When that time comes, we can gain their loyalty by giving them some benefits."
"Is it Stockholm Syndrome..." Although this method should be called the "carrot + stick" model, Li Shushi feels that Jia Xu seems to be more inclined to train those aliens into a group of m
Well, as expected, this old fox's heart is all black when cut.
"Wen He's opinion is very practical. Those alien races are all races that believe in the supremacy of the strong. I believe many people here are very clear. So what we need to do is to conquer these guys one by one in a targeted manner. So, this winter
, is a rare opportunity, we have to use the weapons in our hands to conquer them, and then use the money in our hands
Let them be completely integrated into our system. We want them to know that if they obey us, they will receive glory; if they disobey us, they will be destroyed. Although winter is cold, it can also temper the will of the soldiers.
Whether those soldiers can become strong-willed warriors depends on the abilities of everyone here. Do you have confidence?"
"Promise to complete the mission of the Lord."
This was Li Shushi's decision, and it was also the first decree he issued after becoming the governor of Xihe. Its importance is self-evident, so who dares to go against him at this time?
p.s. The last few chapters and even dozens of pictures have been laying out the lines. Although there will be battles, basically it will not be the master torturing the enemy, but the enemy torturing the master. After all, according to the laws of the universe we have formulated, aliens
In terms of level, it is obviously higher than Li Shushi's group of existences who have basically not killed a few living beings.
So, we are also considering whether to split Xihe's story, one about being tortured, and the other about torturing people? We are still thinking about it, welcome to express your opinions...
