4. The Wanderer Returns

If you want to be pretty, be filial.

This was a popular saying in the world where Li Shushi once lived. Let’s not talk about the purpose behind such a statement, but at least judging from the results, it seems to be really good?

At this time, three women in plain clothes were standing next to Li Shushi. Behind them stood a woman slightly older than them, who was also dressed in mourning clothes. Each one was full of beauty, and each one was shy.

of interest.

Unfortunately, Li Shushi only comforted them with a few words before handing these women over to his sister-in-law Zhen Jiang. She will be responsible for arranging the lives of these widowed women in Bingzhou. As for the regretful expression flashing in Zhen Jiang's eyes, Li Shushi

I pretend I haven't seen the book.

Although all the women in the Zhen family are outstanding, since the most outstanding one has been taken by Li Shushi, Li Shushi does not intend to have anything to do with him, and he does not intend to give the other party any wrong signal.

If he wants a beautiful woman, Su Xiaololi still has a large number of girls in the Lily Palace. As long as he really wants it, Su Xiaololi is not unwilling to matchmaking. Anyway, those women are destined not to stay with Li Shushi for a long time.

Because of maintaining such a tacit understanding, even though the stomachs of the women around him were not moving, his subordinates had no other thoughts. Su Xiaololi's status was as stable as a mountain, which also relieved Li Shushi from a lot of worries.

So he doesn't want to cause trouble for himself.

Besides, if you really want a woman with the attributes of a widow, Mrs. Zou is still staying in her mansion.

Ahem, of course. If Zhang Xiu really dared to tell his secret, it wasn't like Li Shushi couldn't help him, but since he saw his aunt entering the Bingzhou Mu's mansion. Although Zhang Xiu looked melancholy,

But it looks more like relief.

He was angry, but it was not easy to find a woman who satisfied him, so even though he was in his thirties, he was still alone. Even the old man Tong, who had few directors, started to worry about him.

The great disciple's private life became a concern.

perhaps……

Looking at the pretty figures who stood up and left, Li Shushi felt that it would be more appropriate to talk about this kind of thing after a while.

Although the fire in the inner city of Xindu City did not turn Xindu City into a complete ruin, it will take a lot of time to rebuild. At least for the time being, the former core of power in Jizhou is about to encounter

Abandoned, even if the county government of Anping County has to be moved to the north, only the Yamen of Xindu County will remain here.

It is conceivable that it is simply impossible for this place to restore its former prosperity. And it will take at least ten years to return to above average levels. Only after a generation gradually forgets the trauma of the war can this place be restored.

Rejuvenate.

Of course, the Bingzhou Army camp will not leave immediately. Li Shushi still needs to stay here for a while. After experiencing Luoyang and Chang'an, and what happened in Shouchun he heard from Cao Cao, Li Shushi feels it is necessary.

We need to deal with the aftermath here, otherwise God knows what dirty things will appear. Then it will develop into a tragic cycle that cannot be extricated.

If it were the plane he once lived in, Li Shushi would probably only need to consider the issue of epidemic prevention. But now, he needs to let those Feng Shui priests and Taoist priests work harder to calm down the dead souls that may appear here and dilute the strong negative energy aura.

.

Although the work of these guards is fragmented and annoying, and people are always busy, it is good to be busy for a while, and when there is nothing major, Li Shushi actually has many ways to be lazy

Slipping or something.

Unfortunately, his idea could not be realized, because Jia Xu put a pile of quite thick information on his desk. Although he did not say it explicitly, Li Shushi had already consciously smiled bitterly at Su Xiaololi beside him, and then continued

Together with Su Xiaoluoli and Xiao Zhenqing, they looked at Jia Xu with resentment like "You are a big bad guy".

Of course, this lack of offensive eye attack is of no use to an old fox like Jia Xu.

Not to mention that while he was bearing the resentment of three people, he received a vague look of gratitude from Xiaobashi Yan.

But that look was fleeting, making Jia Xu almost think that he was hallucinating because of his old age. After all, when he noticed Xiao Qiaoyan, the little girl had already trotted all the way to Li Shushi's desk. It seemed that

She was preparing to grind ink for Li Shushi and prepare for the subsequent work. Her concentrated look and elegant but sweet smile showed that she liked this job very much.

This made Xiao Zhenqing, who was a little slow to react, secretly angry and also feeling a little disappointed. When Su Xiaololi left with a weird smile on her face and would definitely occupy the strategic location of the kitchen, Xiao Zhenqing suddenly found herself in

This camp became a little redundant, which made her even more resentful towards Jia Xu who ruined her good deeds.

It's a pity that this strong resentment can only make Jia Xu shiver on a hot day. It can be said that it is useless to the extreme.

Of course, Xiao Zhenqing would not sit still and wait for death. She looked around the camp several times and wandered back and forth between Xiao Qiaoyan and Li Shushi, who was already in working mode. Then she showed a confident smile, and a bright light bulb seemed to appear above her head.

, shining brightly.

He stroked the strings lightly, his hands trembling, but after just a few strokes, a slow piece of music echoed in the tent like broken jade falling from a plate.

There is nothing intense about the music, but the soothing rhythm seems to make the air infected by the anxious summer air feel more cool. The affection attached to Gong Shangjiao Zhengyu also slows down with this coolness.

Refreshing the heart and spleen.

As if feeling the slight change in the environment, Li Shushi's originally frowned brows relaxed a lot. However, whether this slightly relaxed mood came from the slightly fresh and cool breeze, or from the pleasant friendship.

There was nothing that could disturb Li Shushi's work, and Li Shushi could completely focus on those documents.

After a quick glance, I found that all the information was related to one person, and that person was Uncle Liu Huang who quietly went to Shu.

Liu Bei went to Yizhou not only because of Zhang Song's invitation as an internal agent, but also because Emperor Liu Xie planned to take advantage of this rare opportunity and planned to use Liu Bei as leverage to see if he could defeat the enemy without fighting.

It will solve the tendency of separatism in Yizhou since Liu Yan. Of course, if we can take advantage of the opportunity to deal with the increasingly restless southwestern barbarians, it will be the icing on the cake.

But Liu Bei actually wasn't very optimistic about this mission.

If you want to bring the army closer to Xichuan, the current Han Dynasty mainly has three routes to choose from.

The first is to cross the Qinling Mountains from Guanzhong and enter the hinterland of the Sichuan Basin via Hanzhong or the Wudu-Yinping Trail. The second is to go upstream from Nanyang along the Han River, capture Hanzhong via the Fangling Pass, and then use Hanzhong as a springboard to leave Yangping Pass in the west. , then Baishui Pass, Jiameng Pass, Jiange, and even may be attacked by the Fushui Pass and Fuxian defenders from the west.

Of course, if you choose to take the Yinping Trail to go south along the Fushui River, you will not be able to avoid the Fushui Pass. And if you are not clear about the role of the Fushui Pass on the Yinping Trail, then mention another name for the Fushui Pass. I'm afraid Jiangyou Pass will not be unfamiliar to everyone, because if it weren't for the fact that Ma Miao who guarded this place in the history of another dimension was either greedy for life or afraid of death, or his ability was worrying. I'm afraid Deng Ai wanted to achieve that unparalleled feat. There still need to be many more ups and downs... and it is precisely because of Ma Miao's unbearable condition that it brings out the steadfastness of his wife Li, but it is a pity that he was entrusted to an inhumane person and could only express his inner pain by dying.

As for the third road, it is to go upstream along the Yangtze River and pass through Yufuhan Pass (originally named Jiangguan. When the Han Dynasty changed, Gongsun Shu's confidant Li Xiong used this pass to defend the eastern land and protect the gate of Ba County, so it was named In the past, King Su of Chu built a defensive pass in the west of present-day Changyang County to resist the ancient Shu Kingdom. Later, it was because of Yu Fu that the pile of stones became Zhengshuo) and entered Bajun. As for what to choose in the future, that is a matter of personal preference. , but from the perspective of getting supplies smoothly, it is better to continue walking along the river.

None of these three paths are easy.

The first two roads require passing through various dangerous roads and fighting various difficult passes. If you are not careful, you will be the result of being dumped, or you may be blocked under the pass for several years and cannot move. The third path It is also not easy, because along the way you either need to pass through mountainous jungle areas and deal with barbarians and barbarians hiding in the mountains and forests; or you need to go along the river, which are all densely populated areas. Although it is easy to get supplies, there are also a large number of people stationed there. The troops are composed of extremely complex elements. If you are not careful, you may stir up a hornet's nest. The feeling is definitely not something that ordinary people can endure.

And this does not take into account the attitude of the independent kingdom of Hanzhong and the large and small powerful people in the vast area in the south of Yizhou called "Nanzhong". It can be said that Yizhou today is a complete hodgepodge.

In Liu Bei's opinion, the best way to deal with such a situation is to send troops, preferably from the north and the east, to attack from both sides. If there are some leading parties within Yizhou to guide and help, perhaps it can be completely solved. question.

In short, it's a one-pot meal.

This idea became clearer after Liu Bei arrived in Yizhou.

Because even Liu Bei himself was confused by the complex situation of the small factions within the big sect in northern Yizhou and the complicated relationships between factions. Even if there were smart people like Zhang Song around him to help explain , it took less than a while for the originally clear thoughts to become chaotic again, and Zhang Song was eventually forced to stop his explanation.

Zhang Song was also helpless about this, or if Yizhou hadn't been in such chaos, he wouldn't have thought of looking for foreign aid.

If the person who rules Yizhou is a strong person, he may be able to suppress the opposing voices. At least, it will not be like today, in the rich land of Yizhou, a small dozen every three days and a big dozen every five days. There seems to be endless wars. It is said that the products here are rich and people's lives are very prosperous, but what is the actual situation?

Zhang Song couldn't help but want to cover his head when he thought of this, planning to be out of sight and out of mind.

"Is Liu Bei planning to give up?"

Li Shushi was muttering to himself while looking at the information in his hand, but no one answered his muttering. Whether it was Xiao Zhenqing or Xiao Qiaoyan, they all focused on what they were doing.

Things, what Li Shushi said, and what they heard seemed to have no effect on them at all, because they knew very well what they should and should not do.

Judging from the current situation, the best way for Liu Bei to solve the problem in Yizhou is to lead a large army along the Yangtze River into the hinterland of Yizhou, and then find a support point that can be used. It will take one and a half years

It took Liu Bei's time to use Liu Bei's ability to unite people, gather a group of local Yizhou people, and then decide how to develop in the future based on the situation at that time.

As for going all the way from the north to the south, wiping out the large and small forces in Dongchuan and Xichuan with thunderous momentum, and directly unifying them by force, Liu Bei can only occasionally flash in Liu Bei's mind. He does not have such strong strength.

In other words, if he really wants to do this, whether he can successfully climb over the natural prison of Fangling with the strength of his hands is a huge problem.

Unless Liu Bei can get the support of the Bingzhou Army, then the dominance will obviously fall into the hands of the Bingzhou Army at the same time. In that case, will Liu Bei take back the homeland with the intention of separatism for the emperor? Or will the Bingzhou Army have the same control as the pre-Qin Dynasty?

No one can say for sure about the same foundation of hegemony~

Liu Bei felt that he still had to work hard before complete failure. If the rescue failed, it would be too late to declare death.

but……

The most reasonable approach for Liu Bei had a premise that Liu Bei didn't know how to evaluate, that is, he had to first open a passage from Nanyang to Hanguan. And this passage happened to go directly from the Han River to the bank of the Yangtze River.

This is equivalent to Liu Bei rushing from Xiangyang to Jiangling - if he could really do this, Liu Biao would definitely surrender.

Or discuss with Liu Biao, "You and I will borrow dozens of warships and an advance base. When Yizhou is pacified, I will share half of it with you. But by the way, I heard that there will be a saying in the future called 'Liu Bei borrows Jingzhou - with or without borrowing'"

"Also, please bear with me." This may allow Liu Biao to enjoy the treatment of "Dragon Controlling Bintian" in advance.

Hmm. Even if Liu Biao really didn't know that remark, I believe someone would have reminded him of this important information.

So can our Xuande Gong complete his Yizhou strategy calmly?

Isn’t this a trick to the emperor’s uncle?

At this moment, Liu Bei's heart really collapsed.

However, Li Shushi felt that he should thank the emperor's uncle. Because he might consider taking some actions on the western front. Even if he could not solve the problem of Yizhou immediately, he would at least take the land of Dongchuan into his pocket. Nowadays,

As the trend towards unification of the world becomes increasingly clear,

Li Shushi believed that the "people of insight" in Yizhou would make the right choice, or even if they still couldn't see the development and changes of the situation for a while and clung to some rotten things, those Dongzhou soldiers who came from other places would also definitely

It can teach them what "the times are developing and society is progressing".

The only thing that makes people a little worried is the Qiang people near the West Sea in the west. Judging from the intelligence feedback before, I am afraid that some people can no longer sit still, and they do not seem to intend to endure it any longer, especially when they have realized that the Han people

As the cake there becomes bigger and bigger, their greed for wealth and their knowledge of their homeland will make them choose to take risks.

Of course, for those people, Li Shushi did not think that Zhang Liao's ability would not be enough to handle this battle, which was destined to not be too intense, but this would mean that Zhang Liao might need to use his existing strength to deal with the southern ones.

enemy.

In this way, if you want to achieve your goal, you may need to take certain risks. Given Zhang Liao's character and fighting style, he will definitely take this risk. Although it is not clear whether he enjoys it, Li Shushi still feels that it is not safe enough.

.

More calculations will win, less calculations will not win, so even if he has full trust in Zhang Liao's ability, it does not conflict with Li Shushi increasing Zhang Liao's chances of winning. Although he is always trying to trick a certain little ant, Li Shushi has to admit that in the Three Kingdoms

The later war model that relied on the power of the country rather than the genius of the generals as the basis of the war was obviously more in line with his appetite, because this would more or less allow ordinary people like him to see some opportunities to stand side by side with geniuses.

.

Even if the probability is so small, it makes it impossible for people to play well with geniuses.

Unconsciously, my ears moved again and again.

Li Shushi could feel a burst of chaotic footsteps moving quickly towards his tent from a not far away place. This was not only an affirmation of his continuous self-healing for more than ten years, but also an affirmation of his continuous self-healing for more than ten years.

The result of unremitting efforts in practicing martial arts.

As the footsteps gradually approached, Li Shushi could tell that one of the footsteps belonged to his lolita. Of course, this was also because his lolita had obviously planned to remind him, so he stepped on it seemingly inadvertently.

, otherwise, even if Su Xiaololi moved inadvertently, Li Shushi would never feel any sound.

Even the creaking corridors that were specially made to prevent ninja sneak attacks are believed to be the same.

As for the other voice, it sounds a little strange, but the steps are very light. She is either a girl with a relatively light weight, or a master with considerable skills who can effectively control the muscles of her body. At least the big soldiers in the military camp, their

As long as Li Shushi is willing to make footsteps, he can hear the sound like stamping on the ground from a long distance.

Who is coming?

Li Shushi felt a little curious, and even put aside the questions he was thinking about.

Of course, the reason why Li Shushi will never tell others is that with his intelligence level, it is really difficult to think of some more reliable plans on his own, so even if he thinks about it for a few more hours, it will be nothing more than

You will get some products of great imagination, and there will be no other results except that the counselors will be dumbfounded, their mouths and eyes will be twisted, or they will cover their faces with their hands in dismay.

then……

"Girl, your last name is yours."

Facing this girl who was incomparably beautiful but had a strange feeling all over her body, almost subconsciously, Li Shushi's mouth became an unlocked door. (To be continued...)
