64. News from another battlefield

"If you want to become a famous general, patience is an absolutely indispensable condition. Although the recent battles are indeed a bit boring, you can't leave your posts without permission. This is a serious mistake! Even if no losses are caused

, but it has also seriously affected the status of the soldiers, causing many soldiers to become disorganized. If this continues, the morale of the soldiers will be lost!"

The expression on Li Shushi's face looked very serious, and Xiaoqiang and Zilongjiang in front of him were no longer as relaxed as before. Not to mention Zilongjiang, who was already blushing at this time, even Xiaoqiang rarely used it on Li Shushi.

A more formal expression.

Regarding Li Shushi's criticism, both of them expressed an attitude of accepting it with an open mind. After all, even they themselves knew how abnormal their behavior was, but the inconsistent psychological gap made both of them unable to help themselves.

There are some regulations that they can still abide by on weekdays.

Even when Li Shushi decided to give each of them fifty military sticks, and the punishment was in full view of everyone on the school field, the two of them did not say anything more, or wanted to make any excuses.

This made Li Shushi somewhat relieved.

No way, the situation of Xiaoqiang and Zilongjiang is not an isolated case. In fact, many soldiers of the Bingzhou Army can't help but want to relax after experiencing the tense days in the past.

After thinking about it for a while, it would be slightly better if I was on combat duty, but even like this

There were seven cases of soldiers deserting during combat duty hours in the Central Army Corps. As a result, twenty young lives did not fall due to battlefield fighting, but fell under the law enforcement knife of the military judge. Not only were their families unable to obtain

Full pension, and will also lose a lot of military benefits and illusory honors.

It’s really not worth the gain.

Fortunately, the enemy army had turned into a group of frightened birds after experiencing various traps and torture outside the Bingzhou Army camp in the past few days, and failed to take advantage of this opportunity to organize any decent attack. This allowed the situation to be resolved immediately.

Get control.

Of course, if the enemy really came, maybe the soldiers would not be so slack, but not necessarily.

From this point of view, one drink and one peck have their own destiny.

The punishment ended here, and Li Shushi did not go into details. On the one hand, such a mistake is enough to remind people like Lu Bu and Zhao Yun. There is no need to use more punishments to impress them, even if Zhao Yun does not mind Li Shushi.

Give him some more punishment, but based on his daily performance, if he is given more punishment, Li Shushi is also worried about what other people will think.

And compared to punishment, Li Shushi found that there seemed to be a better way to handle this incident.

That was a message from the Central Plains region.

Speaking of which, if it weren't for this intelligence from the Central Plains, Li Shushi would not have found that he had not paid attention to the progress of the battle in the Central Court for a long time. After all, the opponent opposite him could not be solved casually. It can even be said that apart from this

For a few days, the traps, barbed wire and other messy things gave both sides a rare moment of silence. The rest of the time, the commanders of both sides were probably nervous, constantly making plans and adjusting themselves according to the opponent's reaction.

plan.

Although on the whole the Tudou Corps failed to complete their expected plan, similarly, the large force of the Bingzhou Army was still firmly anchored here and could not move. If it were not for the attention of the two largest princes in Hebei and the Central Plains,

force is firmly attracted to one

From then on, when someone from Jingzhou, which was originally bordering the Bingzhou Army, also took over the defense, the major forces in other directions also had their own problems. At most, they only caused some minor troubles for the Bingzhou Army that had nothing to do with the overall situation. I am afraid that Li Shushi really knows how to do it.

There is a feeling of being stretched thin.

So in this case, as long as no one comes to disturb her, Li Shushi really is not in the mood to care about other people's affairs.

It's just that this time the situation seems slightly different.

"Yuan Shao's idea should be said to be quite good, but...why does this guy like to seek death so much?"

Looking at the piece of paper in his hand, Li Shushi really didn't know what to say. After all, Li Shushi had already understood the content written above when Yuan Shao first came to Jizhou, but until now, Yuan Shao had no plan to solve it.

, and even contributed to the situation until it became an uncontrollable prairie fire. This made Li Shushi really have to doubt Yuan Shao's IQ.

In fact, Li Shushi originally had a high opinion of Yuan Shao, and although Yuan Shao's actions over the years had some inappropriate aspects, they were generally commendable. Several plans also caused Li Shushi a lot of trouble, but

Because he always has more opponents that he has to deal with, Li Shushi has the opportunity to solve those troubles one by one.

But even so, when he went all out against the Bingzhou Army, even if there were some lucky factors, such as good weather, it was still enough to show that Yuan Shao had quite a lot of outstanding people gathered around him.

In fact, whether it was Han Fu or Gongsun Zan, these aggrieved princes who perished would definitely agree with Li Shushi's statement.

However, after so many years of observation, Li Shushi also discovered that there was a fatal problem hidden around Yuan Shao.

Yes, that is a fatal problem. If Yuan Shao's power is destined to fail, Li Shushi absolutely believes that most of the reasons lie in that fatal Achilles' heel.

Internal strife, party politics.

In fact, they are both the same thing. It’s just that the latter is more elegant and dishonest than the former, but in the final analysis it is still the same thing. Even compared to the flamboyance of the former, the latter’s obscure means bring about

But it is a greater disaster.

In fact, whether it is internal fighting or party politics, logically speaking, as long as there are people, there will inevitably be disputes due to differences in interests, ideas, and demands. Human beings, who account for almost half of society, look for allies to form groups.

Fighting monsters, swiping bosses and equipment has become an inevitable choice.

And a good monarch is naturally a master in this area, because if such disputes are well controlled, not only can they survive and develop through competition, but they can also prevent those subordinates who do not share the same heart from doing tricks such as "yellow robes and extra body".

As a descendant of the fourth generation and the third prince, Yuan Shao, who should have received elite education, should be a master in this way. In fact, as a man who is determined to make great achievements like his father and grandfather under the Han bureaucracy, he has indeed developed in this way.

For example, the half-brother Yuan Shu has been suppressed in terms of reputation and other aspects under Yuan Shao's control. No matter which plane he is in, he retired from the stage of history far earlier than Yuan Shao.

.

Of course, there is a side of seeking death, but if it weren't for the fact that his reputation is really difficult to match Yuan Shao, in the history of another dimension, would Yuan Shu really have to proclaim himself emperor? I am afraid that no matter how much he ignores the Han Dynasty, Yuan Shu may not really take such a desperate risk.

.

However, it was such a Yuan Shao who gradually became unable to control his group of elites from all over the country after taking control of Jizhou.

In fact, the battle between Jizhou locals and outsiders is not completely unsolvable. In this uncertain situation, properly reconciling the contradictions between the two parties over the distribution of existing interests and guiding them outwards can not only strengthen one's own cohesion, but also

Continue to expand your own strength and wait until the world is stable. Come again

If you look at the contradictions caused by this division of interests, you will find that because too many interest groups have been involved in the unification process, even if some people really want to go it alone, they will be squeezed out by a large number of other small interest groups, and even

Instead, you can use these small interest groups to get rid of someone who is too big to lose.

However, it seems that Yuan Shao has not been able to solve this problem from beginning to end, or his balancing strategy is too balanced, so that both the local factions in Jizhou and the outsiders believe that they are the ones who should control the biggest say in Jizhou.

Which side of the force. And with Yuan Shao's probably intentional indulgence, this internal struggle has almost reached a fever pitch.

This is really worth complaining about. Looking at several successful big bosses during the Three Kingdoms period, Cao Cao relied on the Qiao Pei faction interest group formed by his own brothers and in-laws. At most, because of Xun Yu's relationship, he favored Ying Ru in the civil service system.

In the early days, Sun Quan focused entirely on the Huaisi people. After he learned that the Huaisi people were withering and that he was firmly established in Jiangdong, he slowly shifted his focus.

When it came to the Jiangdong native faction, the same was true for the Liu Yan and Liu Bei families who arrived in Yizhou as guests. Both the Dongzhou scholars and the Jingchu faction had always been the ones they relied on most, and it was not until Liu Chan followed Jingchu in his later period that

The lack of successors allowed local people to get ahead, but in the end they had to surrender in the face of the torrent of unification.

Even if Li Shushi unites more and more forces, his inner circle is still mainly composed of a certain bad group in the past. Even latecomers like Cheng Yu and Cao Chun all came from before Li Shushi took over and merged with Shuo. The same can be said.

Count as an outsider.

If they had no time to fight among themselves because of the "big mountain" of Bingzhou Army pressing above their heads, then as Bingzhou Army was once again entangled by a new "monster", Cao Cao's army on the opposite side had only one

In addition to the "Emperor Card", they were also suppressed by them and could not hold their heads up - even though Yuan Shao had no respect for Wu

They are a little anxious to capture Cao Cao immediately, but for many people they are not worried about the final victory, or as a qualified supporting role in the script, Cao Cao's desperate resistance is completely the most normal direction of the script. So in this case

, the never-ending hearts of these guys are ready to move again.

And this time, Yuan Shao's unintentional behavior made the fight even more explosive.

That is, Yuan Shao imprisoned Tian Feng, who had been "enshrined" as the chief civilian officer in Yuan Shao's army. This incident has been mentioned before, but I don't know if the subsequent impact of this incident was still within Yuan Shao's expectation.

As the role model set by Yuan Shao back then, Tian Feng has always worked hard to make suggestions for Yuan Shao's hegemony. Although everyone is competing with each other secretly, for their own interests, they often fight openly and secretly with Tian Feng, even though his status is quite aloof, but Tian Feng and Yuan Shao

However, the position of the chief civilian officer of the army is still relatively strong, at least no one dares to blatantly propose a "replacement" to Yuan Shao.

But who would have thought that Yuan Shao would actually beat Tian Feng to the end after a series of push-ups.

By the way, even those who were behind the scenes probably wouldn't have imagined that the effect would be so good. After all, they were already used to Tian Feng's existence, and this kind of lonely minister would not affect their private plans, so why bother unnecessary

In this case, if he makes additional enemies, the most that can be done is to alienate Yuan Shao from him.

Maybe their chosen successor will need veterans like Tian Feng to stabilize the situation after he comes to power.

It's just that this was their previous thought. When Tian Feng's fall became a fait accompli, those guys who were so smart that they had no friends immediately noticed that hot but prominent position.

As a result, the outsiders who were originally divided due to the dispute over heirs became extremely crazy under the temptation of this sudden pie falling from the sky.

Perhaps Yuan Shao intends to change his previous approach. Whether it is the cold treatment of the death of the local general Yan Liang and Wen Chou, the suppression of Gao Lan who still adheres to the local camp, or the sudden punishment of Tian Feng, the nominal leader of the local camp.

,one

Everything shows that the outsiders from the Ruying Nanyang area who followed Yuan Shao to take control of Jizhou accounted for an increasing proportion of Yuan Shao's regime, and the local faction that could have fought with them has suffered a series of blows.

It started to become weaker.

But I don’t know if I am too eager for success. Or maybe this move was just an immature idea due to some accidents. In short, because there were so many cakes left after the "big purge", it actually gave way to the cake.

The people became even crazier and even did many things on the home front regardless of the current war that people don't know how to comment on.

For example, a small village chief named Shen Rong in Xindu reported Xu You's family for asking for a bribe, claiming that as long as they gave them five hundred gold, they could get Xu You to recommend Shen Rong as the deputy commander of the Xindu City Guards, although it was not a big deal.

It's an extremely prestigious position, but if you really want to make money, this position is indeed very lucrative. It can be said that just asking for five hundred gold is not too expensive.

As long as things can be done.

But since it has been reported, it is obvious that the matter has not been completed - the servant of Xu You's family who was responsible for accepting bribes obviously sold the information to more than just Shen Rong. He has no foundation, and his own ability can only be said to be that of ordinary Shen Rong.

Naturally, he couldn't compete with those rich guys. Not only did he lose the five hundred gold he had scraped together, but he was also ridiculed as a "poor boy" by the Xu family.

The "poor boy" was very angry, and the consequences were serious.

To such a serious extent, Xindu stayed behind, feeling like he had found a treasure about this matter. Supervisor Meng Dai felt like he had found a treasure, and immediately imprisoned all of Xu You's family members who had stayed in Xindu. Then, before the news had reached Guandu, he

All of these people are dealt with.

In fact, compared to Guo Tu, who supported the eldest son Yuan Tan, Xu You also competed with Feng Ji, who supported the third son Yuan Shang, for the position left by Tian Feng after he was imprisoned.

The young master did not show any obvious tendency

, perhaps rather than placing a bet now, Xu You, who has a high self-esteem or is unwilling to easily participate in this muddy water, obviously believes that even if he does not participate in it, no matter which prince succeeds to the throne, he can rely on his own ability.

You can still continue to enjoy a high position.

Therefore, if divided according to camps, Meng Dai, who had a good relationship with Feng Ji, should not have been so ruthless. Even if Xu You's family was really imprisoned, they should have been treated well. At least they were still ordered by Yuan Shao in the end.

The execution order can be regarded as leaving a chance for reconciliation with Xu You, and it will not push him to the opposition of the three young masters and one party.

It's a pity that Meng Dai did it after all, and he did it quickly and thoroughly. It can be said that except for Xu You, he basically "eradicated the roots" of Xu You's family in Jizhou, leaving no room for change between the two parties.

In the final analysis, what made Meng Dai make up his mind came from Xu You - this friend who had been friends with Yuan Shaoshang when he was still a newcomer to politics could be said to be Yuan Shao's absolutely trusted confidant.

He is extremely talented, and it can be said that he always has his sights set above his head. Even if he occasionally says "I am planning three points of the Yuan family's foundation", it's not all bad.

Maybe. Even if Tian Feng, who is respected as the head of Jizhou's civil servants, had not understood Yuan Shao's purpose, Xu You would not have even maintained superficial respect for him. After all, even Tian Feng was slightly less talented than Xu You.

You are a half-qualified person - this is certainly a very high evaluation for Xu You. Others like Fengji and Guo Tu are simply "people who do nothing".

It is conceivable that even if Xu You did not do it deliberately, it was too easy to offend a large number of people without knowing it. There were countless people who secretly gritted their teeth and wanted to give him some color.

As a result, Meng Dai, one of these people, found a good opportunity and solved the problem with lightning speed.

For such a thing, even Yuan Shao felt very embarrassed - you said that Meng Dai should be held accountable, he was justified, and the Xu family even confessed to the bribery, and the relevant witnesses and materials were complete.

There is even some additional black material. Although it does not reach the level of rebellion, it can definitely make Xu You shed a layer of skin in peacetime.

But what about taking the heavy responsibility of Xu You? Yuan Shao was still reluctant to bear it. After all, Xu You was really a friend of his commoner, and he was indeed a talented minister. Even if he was indeed greedy for money, Yuan Shao was also very good at it.

It is clear that in this kind of competition for world supremacy, talents that can be used for one's own use are obviously more useful than moral character.

As a result, Yuan Shao ended up just reprimanding Xu You's family for asking for bribes and condoning illegal activities. Although he seemed a little angry and ordered Xu You to shut himself up and not see each other, people who were familiar with Yuan Shao knew that it was useless.

How long will it take for Xu You to return to Yuan Shao and continue to make plans?

Of course, Xu You is indeed no longer qualified to compete for the position left by Tian Feng. (To be continued...)
