Originally, Li Shushi wasn't really interested in what kind of chaos Yuan Shao's men were in. In fact, if intelligence hadn't suddenly arrived, he wouldn't have been able to turn his attention away from the puppets nesting in the camp opposite.
However, because of the incident of "Xiaoqiang and Zilongjiang lost their virginity (crossed out) buttocks and presented themselves for the first time (crossed out again) and were punished in public for the first time" that had just happened, Li Shushi had no idea about the land that seemed to be extremely far away from the Bingzhou Army.
I am interested in the battlefield.
Although judging from the spatial distance, the shortest straight-line distance between the two sides seems to be just over fifty miles.
"But having said that, we can actually know such news. My lord, you are really amazing."
Although Zilongjiang looked at Li Shushi with admiring eyes, Li Shushi was very pleased, but Li Shushi also knew that this matter had no direct relationship with him, or that he always played the role of a hands-off shopkeeper in such matters, so
In the end, he still didn't accept Zilong Jiang's compliment.
Of course, as someone who is very familiar with the top brass of the Bingzhou Army, Zilong Jiang went out of his way to praise Li Shushi for such a thing today. Presumably, it was because of the previous incident that he was trying to gain favor in front of Li Shushi.
The reason why Li Shushi thinks so is because Xiaoqiang, who usually has a middle-class and funny image on such occasions, this time also changed his role and said "I am a loyal dog".
It was a cold joke that had no other effect than sending chills all over the body, and the eyes looking at Li Shushi were filled with a hot light that was misleading.
It's no wonder these two are acting like this. After all, they both know very well that if Li Shushi doesn't understand that they have "repented" and fully realized their previous mistakes at this time, then Li Shushi will definitely leave them here to continue "reflection"
”, instead of taking them with him to fight against familiar or unfamiliar opponents one after another as before.
After all, Li Shuzhen has a lot of talents at his disposal. Even if the two of them are really thrown here, there will be no shortage of people to use them.
Even though an opponent like Yuan Shao is obviously not as exciting as a head-on confrontation with the opposite puppet, the current situation is that both parties have adopted various methods and finally played themselves like this. Fighting without mutual concern is completely useless.
The pleasure I felt before.
Therefore, even Yuan Shaojun, as long as there is a war to fight, will probably not welcome these guys whose psychological gap is so large that Li Shushi even doubts whether they are suffering from any mental illness.
**These are probably the people who are so hungry that they don’t choose food.
After all, if the Guanzhong battlefield had not reached a stalemate now, I am afraid that the Bingzhou Army would only send partial troops to deal with Yuan Shao's army.
Well, you can't be so confident. Li Shushi thought of Qu Yi, who was said to have not fully recovered. Wasn't it because he had underestimated Yuan Shao's sons who stayed at Liyang Camp that he was on the battlefield in Wei County?
Did you suffer a big loss?
Speaking of which, it is actually not a big problem that Qu Yi despises the two brothers Yuan Xi and Yuan Shang. Yuan Shao's four direct sons, excluding the youngest Yuan Mai, who still doesn't know whether he can walk, the remaining three
In Li Shushi's opinion, the most is not
They are just middle-class people. Perhaps this statement can be regarded as praising them in this era. Especially compared with their father Yuan Shao, Cao Ang, Cao Pi, Sun Ce and Sun Quan, their contemporaries.
I don’t know how many streets there are.
However, Li Shushi had clearly asked the intelligence department to focus on Yuan Fang's intelligence. However, judging from actual combat, the eldest son of the concubine, who had been deliberately suppressed by Yuan Shao over the years, obviously had a lower presence than Jia Xu, so that the Bingzhou Army
Those arrogant and powerful generals obviously did not think that this young man who had little chance to show his face could pose any threat to them.
However, judging from the secret information subsequently sent to Li Shushi, Yuan Fang's actions in that battle were obviously far beyond people's imagination.
Speaking of Yuan Shao's actions, we have to mention the war in Guandu that is still deadlocked in this plane.
There is not much to say about Cao Cao. His talents, including his relatives, would have been stolen by Li Shushi if his father, Cao Song, had not come forward. But even with the face of Mr. Cao, Cao Chun would still be with Li Shushi.
Bian worked conscientiously and didn't see the possibility of leaving at all - and he didn't know whether this young man was really loyal or loyal, or whether he was a certain Lolita who was so charming.
Although Li Shushi's intuition was more inclined to the latter, it turned out that it was better not to think too much about this issue.
In addition to the problems with core personnel, the areas that Cao Cao can control also cannot give him and his troops much support - parts of Xuzhou and Qingzhou need to guard against threats from Jiangdong in the south and Yuan Tan in the north, although the former was killed after Sun Ce's death.
, his successor Sun Quan decided to cease war with Cao Cao in order to quell the various different voices that emerged within Jiangdong, and refocused his target on Liu Biao, his father-killing enemy in the west, but Cao Cao still had to guard against possible threats from Jiangdong.
Especially when most of the two counties of Lujiang and Jiujiang fell into Jiangdong's hands, and Sun Quan had no intention of spitting out the territory he had snatched from Cao Cao's army.
Therefore, even if Xuzhou can provide some food support for Cao Cao, it becomes a luxury hope under such circumstances. However, because Zang Ba has done a good job of containing Yuan Tan, at least Cao Cao does not need to worry about his own safety.
What problems would occur on the flanks? Although this did not meet Cao Cao's highest expectations, it was at least within an acceptable range.
The situation in Yanzhou and Yuzhou also did not make Cao Cao too optimistic. Even though they also implemented the strategy of farming, the terms set by Cao Cao when implementing this policy were somewhat harsh. For ordinary refugees, perhaps in order to survive
It's still bearable, but they are very dissatisfied with those refugees who know a little bit about the policies related to state merger. Therefore, the effect of implementing this policy in many places can only be said to be unsatisfactory. But for this
Cao Cao really didn't have any good ideas. After all, when Li Shushi implemented this policy, he had the powerful Han Empire as his backing. Later, when his family became rich, he even gave some good measures in some aspects to stimulate the enthusiasm of workers.
Preferential measures, and even the importance of population during the war, Li Shushi naturally could not give too harsh terms in order to develop the land that had become depressed due to the war and the land expanded in the north.
It can only be said that a certain black-skinned dwarf was obviously the inventor of the original version, but because of the influence of an overweight butterfly, he became a copycat. The greatest sorrow in life is probably this. Unfortunately, Cao Cao and Xun Yu found that their family wealth was not rich enough.
, I can only grit my teeth and persist.
If coupled with the serious population loss caused by successive wars in the Central Plains, one can imagine how much pressure Cao Cao had to bear in terms of soldiers, taxes, and food. The wealth left by Mr. Cao may be an astronomical figure for a family.
, but for one of the princes and forces, apart from being used as start-up capital, it is really nothing more than a drop in the bucket.
After all, for a person as wealthy as He Shen in the world, only the confiscated wealth from his family can have the power to rival the country. And that's because He Shen was in a prosperous age (let's put it this way), and the prices of antiques, calligraphy and paintings, etc. are inflated
, if it were in such troubled times, I am afraid that the reduction of more than half of those wealth should be a conservative estimate, and doubling or doubling is really normal.
But compared to Cao Cao's overstretched battle of Guandu in another dimension of history, Cao Cao's confidence this time is obviously stronger, and the most important reason that can straighten Cao Cao's waist is that Liu Xie passed "face brushing"
In this way, I obtained the support of food and grass from Li Shushi——
Of course, this cannot be free. Instead, it is delivered to designated warehouses in Henan County through trade through merchants under the protection of Bingzhou Army, and then Cao Cao's army takes away the grain accumulated in the warehouse, and those merchants
They took away money or other goods they liked.
The price of grain is 20% cheaper than the market price in Yanyu area, and this price also includes shipping costs. For Cao Cao, it is a great gift from conscience, but for the people of Bingzhou, they are not at a disadvantage - no
Talking about monetary settlement, just
It is said that bringing the commodities in demand from the Central Plains back to Bingzhou can also earn a lot of extra income, and in this way, the aged grains in the government treasury in Bingshuo area will be cleared out. Anyway, in addition to the taste and nutritional value, that stuff
, it won’t kill anyone if eaten.
Well. After all, this is not the era in the future when productivity is highly developed and materials are extremely abundant. People's pursuit of material quality has reached a point where they are somewhat picky. For the vast majority of people in this era, as long as things are
If you can eat it, you are happy. If it is sour or rancid, pour it into a large bowl.
It can be eaten even if it is cooked thoroughly in the pot, and it may have a different taste. Even if there are powerful people in many places who want to waste a lot of money, it is not so easy to make Zhumen's wine and meat stink, although for them, they drink tofu and fried dough sticks every bowl.
It is actually possible to eat one, throw one away, and eat a few tea eggs.
Wait, can ordinary powerful people really afford things like tea eggs? Although tea has become popular due to a group of people from the Bingzhou Army, it should still be considered a luxury product in general.
Sure enough, in this era, there are very few people in the entire continent who can afford tea eggs. This statement is quite reasonable, huh.
Although there is a possibility of a certain black-skinned dwarf turning against someone and seizing the goods in this trading model, considering that the unloading location is Aocang, opposite Hanoi and not too far away from the bank of the Yellow River, even if it does happen,
Anything can be saved in time
In order to win the trust of the Bingzhou Army, Cao Cao stationed Cao Ren's direct troops there. This also means that even if the defense line is mobilized, the Bingzhou Army can cut off this commercial supply line as soon as possible and reduce losses.
Small to the lowest.
Of course, in the current stalemate between the two sides in Guandu, it is probably not easy for Cao Cao to fall out. At least with Li Shushi's channel, in addition to solving some of Cao Cao's food and grass problems, it can also transport some "prohibited" high-priced war horses.
Although the number of horses so far is less than a thousand, and more than half of them were traded to his elder brother by Cao Chun using his position, even this is enough to give Cao Cao a big sigh of relief.
After all, Xiliang and even the Western Regions can no longer rely on other channels to obtain war horses. The war in Guanzhong has completely cut off the trade routes there, and the detour will greatly increase both the length of the journey and the difficulty of movement.
The cost of those merchants, so many merchants disposed of their goods in the area from Dunhuang to Wuwei after hearing the news of the Guanzhong War. It may be two or three years before they can be seen again in the territory of the Han Dynasty.
But what made Cao Cao even more happy was that Yuan Shao's supply of horses was even worse.
As Li Shushi and the tribes he controlled became the most powerful force on the grassland, even those tribes that were not closely related to the Bingzhou Army expressed enough goodwill to the Bingzhou Army during this period. In this case,
Even if Yuan Shao spends a higher price, it will be quite difficult to purchase war horse resources from the tribes in the grasslands.
The private transaction of more than ten or twenty horses may still be successful under the cover of publicity. But even so, if it is discovered, it is still possible to encounter the tribal coalition led by Tuoba Liwei, Yelida and others.
Join forces to strangle. Without the supplement of war horses, Yuan Shao's cavalry troops, which originally had a slight advantage over Cao Cao's army, have become increasingly lacking in impact.
Therefore, what is completely different from the history of another plane is that even if the two sides consume each other leisurely, the person who loses in the end may not necessarily be the black-skinned dwarf from the Central Plains area, and Yuan Shao still needs to worry
Once the Bingzhou Army frees up its hands, Yuan Shao, no matter how arrogant he is, does not think he has the possibility of victory under attack from both sides.
Well, the most likely possibility is that the Yuan and Cao families, who were fighting like snipes and clams, were taken over by the Bingzhou Army.
This is no joke. After all, if he thought about it from his perspective, Yuan Shao thought that he might not miss such a good opportunity.
After all, as long as the Yuan and Cao families are eliminated, let alone whether Li Shushi's reputation can allow him to ascend to the position of the Ninth Five-Year Plan, at least there will be no princes in the world who can compete with him. Even if Li Shushi
After a temporary pause, after ten years of birth and ten years of lessons, only fate can stop the Bingzhou Army from unifying the world.
It was probably because he felt the urgency of time that Yuan Shao was so anxious that he even beat Tian Feng, who had warned him, to the end - maybe Yuan Shao's power would indeed be greatly enhanced after three to five years of recuperation, but it has been determined
Yuan Shao, who fell out with the emperor and had constant quarrels with the Bingzhou Army, really didn't think he had much chance of winning the world.
So now, he once again decided to strike preemptively.
But this time, there were still many different opinions among his subjects.
"Ming Gong, Feng Ji has no objection to other plans. But the decision to send 'that person' to Qingzhou, after careful consideration, I feel that it is really inappropriate. No matter for the eldest son, or for me, Yuan
As far as our family’s foundation is concerned, it’s all dangerous!”
"Ming Gong, Tu Ye feels that this move is really... not appropriate. Eldest Young Master... Eldest Young Master has done quite well in Qingzhou. As long as Myng Gong gives Eldest Young Master some more time, Eldest Young Master will definitely be able to break through the enemy's obstruction.
Complete the mission assigned to him tomorrow."
Since Xu You was eliminated and the situation became increasingly clear (although only in their own opinion), the relationship between Feng Ji and Guo Tu, the two original outsider pioneer "generals", became increasingly bad.
At that time, the two people almost perfectly performed the classic drama of "If you support me, I will oppose it. If you oppose it, I will support it." Moreover, the two people also attracted many "accomplices". For a while, even Yuan Shao was obsessed with these two people.
The represented faction felt a headache and had no choice.
But today, at this moment, two people are standing together again for one thing. This is a "splendid scene" that they have not seen for a long time. Even the two of them care about each other quite a lot.
There is a somewhat awkward atmosphere lingering.
Of course, no matter how embarrassing it is, the two of them will never give up their positions on important matters.
For example, they are currently opposed to Yuan Shao's idea of sending his concubine Yuan Fang to Yuan Tan in Qingzhou. After them, Feng Ji's side is more inclined to the third son Yuan Shang and others, and Guo Tu's side is more inclined to the eldest son Yuan Tan.
Xin Ping and others also spoke out against this matter, so that for a while, Yuan Shao was surrounded by voices of opposition.
Naturally, Yuan Tan's supporters must resolutely oppose Yuan Fang's going to Qingzhou. After all, it completely means that Yuan Shao has been disappointed with Yuan Tan, so they will let this bastard of the Yuan family, who has been dormant for a long time but is still wary of many counselors, go to assist.
.Or even if there is no such relationship, the mere act of Yuan Shao sending supervisory troops to Yuan Tan already speaks for itself.
As for Yuan Shangfang, although if Yuan Tan loses power, it should be a matter for them to celebrate together, but Feng Ji obviously thinks deeper. He is worried that Yuan Fang will take this opportunity to show more and more outstanding abilities he possesses.
Then follow along
It is logical to join the fight for Yuan Shao's inheritance. Compared with Yuan Tan, who has not shown many outstanding qualities except for his status as the eldest son, Yuan Fang is unpredictable and even confusing to many people.
Fearful opponents are obviously more worrying.
In other words, if Yuan Tan had been more successful, there might not have been the current controversy over Yuan Shao's successor.
It is said that Yuan Shaoer has a weak heart. Generally speaking, if the sound from one side is louder, he is likely to fall to that side.
This statement cannot be said to be wrong, but it cannot be said to be completely correct. It can only be said that this young man who has been relatively smooth so far has too many opportunities to choose from, unlike many people who are simply
There is only one road in Huashan. Although it is a good thing to have more choices, after all, it means that you can choose the best among the best, but as a follower of the family elders, I have seen too many
Too many Yuan Shao knows very well that some options may have good benefits in the short term but will become a huge burden in the long term, while some are just the opposite. Of course, some are simply wolves in sheep's clothing, so how to choose the best?
Yuya is a very knowledgeable person, so it’s normal to develop phobia of choice over time (laughs)~
But if he really has a decision in his heart, then Yuan Shao's will cannot be shaken by ordinary people.
Otherwise, it would be impossible for him to really build such a big business, even if there is a super heavyweight human butterfly beside him.
"Needless to say, there is only one thing you need to do now, and that is to make the plan more thorough and detailed, and make plans in advance for possible problems that may arise.
In the next battle, we can only win, not lose!"
Yuan Shao stood there, showing his majestic and noble posture, just like when he faced the Dong Dong alliance as the leader of the alliance.
Seeing Yuan Shao like this, everyone who knew him was shuddered, and then immediately bowed down. No one dared to offer even the slightest opinion to Yuan Shao at this time.
Such Yuan Shao must have made the most correct choice.
This is the common thought in the minds of everyone in the camp at this moment.
only,
Someone who is not qualified to attend this meeting will probably have some different opinions. (To be continued...)
