28. The sea before the typhoon is always surging (Part 2)
Speaking of which, Li Shushi was originally just trying to build this kind of famous Hakka earth building in the future. However, he never thought that the strength of the rammed earth mixed with glutinous rice juice would exceed his expectations. Don't look at the rammed earth.
The thickness of the wall is only three feet (Han feet), but logs held by several big men cannot easily break it.
However, this kind of building is still in the preliminary stage after all, and various corresponding defense measures are not perfect enough. Therefore, at that time, Li Shushi just wanted to gather the farmers together to facilitate management and effectively guard against wild beasts in the mountains.
However, he never thought that he would play an unexpected role in the confrontation with Lu Shuihu, thus preventing his years of hard work from being ruined. Judging from the analysis of a large number of actual combat data collected by Li Gan, who stayed in Xihe, through private visits.
, this kind of fortress-type building has an amazing defensive effect on foreigners who lack effective means of siege.
Of course, no matter how strong the fortress is, it can be broken, let alone this Wubao, which can accommodate more than a thousand people at most. But for the invading enemies, if there are too many people sent to attack, the gain will not be worth the loss.
If there are fewer people, it will be difficult to attack.
Using such a fort as a stronghold, Li Shu could attack and gradually encroach on the prairie; defending, he could gradually delay the enemy's army and at the same time report the enemy's movements to the army's garrison or decision-making body.
Think about the appearance of forts all over the grassland. Can the war horses of the grassland peoples still be able to sprint at that time? And how much capital do the grassland peoples who have given up the long-distance running ability of their war horses have left to fight against the farming peoples of the Central Plains?
Of course, no system is perfect and can collapse from the inside and outside. So although this idea is beautiful, even Lu Zhi is a little tempted. But in the short term, whether it is Lu Zhi or Li Shushi,
, they can only put this system on defense and combine it with the beacon fire of the beacon tower to form a complete set of fortifications.
To fight back against this kind of thing, relying solely on Bingzhou (original), which ranked in the middle and lower reaches of the Thirteen Prefectures of Han Dynasty in terms of overall strength, was still unable to do what it wanted, both in terms of economy and population. This is why Lu Zhi and Li Shushi are constantly wooing refugees from other ethnic groups.
.
so……
"Zian, I will leave the defense of Yanmen to you. Although Xianbei has been severely damaged by us, considering that Kuitou and Qianman have recently merged, and even many adults in central and eastern Xianbei have the possibility of reuniting, so don't
If you fall into the enemy's trap, it is better to have no success than to make a mistake. In addition, pay attention to uniting the Huns and Wuwan people who have moved there. You can decide the specific measures yourself. If there are any problems that you find difficult, you can discuss them with Governor Guo.
"
Li Shushi thought carefully about the defense in the north and finally handed it over to Gao Shun. Although Gao Shun was already very good at field combat, street fighting and defensive warfare, Li Shushi agreed that his most suitable place was defense.
It is true that Gao Shun is a serious person, even a little rigid at times, and pays attention to details, but he is also a man who is cold on the outside and hot on the inside.
This kind of character also resulted in his unique fighting style - the attack is like a flood rushing down from the top of the mountain. For example, the trap camp under his command regards the enemy's formation as nothing and will not stop until it is cut through. It's just this
The offensive often relies on the courage of one go. Although the attack power is extremely powerful, it lacks sustainability. As long as they are stopped, they basically cannot organize a second wave of attacks.
On the contrary, his defense is even more difficult, especially after all these years of experience.
Precisely because Gao Shun is rigid, meticulous and has an unyielding spirit, his defense is like Tai Chi push palm. It may seem ordinary, but he can steadily block every attack of the enemy. Coupled with his carefulness
, so that he will not easily reveal his flaws and be taken advantage of by the enemy. Coupled with the habit of not drinking, it can be said that he is a person worth trusting.
Of course, this does not mean that his defense is without flaws. One of them is the lack of quick response ability. Limited by the development of his brain, Gao Shun can not take many measures to deal with complex situations, even if he can see some strategies
He is often unable to adopt a better response method and easily gradually loses control of the battle. The second is that he will be impulsive at certain moments and fight the enemy with the blood in his heart. For example, he was defeated by Lu Bu in the frontier for example.
Enraged and met with failure.
Of course, with the growth of age and experience, these problems are being overcome little by little, and Gao Shun has become more and more calm, so this time Li Shushi gave him the important task of guarding the north. It is trust.
His manifestation.
As the territory becomes larger, there are more things that need to be dealt with, especially since the state animal husbandry has the power to intervene in the internal affairs of counties and counties. Seeing that it is autumn, the crops in various places have entered the maturity stage, and I don’t know what day it will be.
Although Luo He gave himself a guarantee about the harvest, he still felt uneasy without seeing it with his own eyes.
After all, various things began to appear one after another after He Jin's death, and some people have verified that periods of turmoil are often times of frequent disasters in various places. Although I don't know how accurate this sentence is, Li Shuzhen said in this world
In the past few years, indeed every year I can hear about various
News of local disasters, and those disasters are usually major disasters that affect several counties. Bingzhou (formerly) has also experienced several severe winters and hot summers that were obviously colder than previous years. If Bingzhou (formerly) had not been sparsely populated, then Bingzhou would probably
The yields of crops will be reduced on a large scale due to lack of irrigation.
"While I'm away, I'll ask Zhongde and all the governors to take a closer look at all the big and small affairs in Bingzhou."
"Haven't I always done this for so many years~"
Looking at Cheng Yu who was looking at him sideways, Li Shushi suddenly had the urge to vomit blood. However, from Cheng Yu's unusual and frivolous tone, Li Shushi also heard Cheng Yu's confidence and pride. Yes, this
It's the tacit understanding between the two.
Just as Li Shushi was making preparations to go south to Luoyang in Jinyang City, Hedong County on the other side was already a little intolerable.
"My lord, it seems that the general is under a lot of pressure."
Li Ru held He Jin's secret letter in one hand and the bronze wine cup in the other, looking at Dong Zhuo who had a calm face with a smile on his face.
Of course, Li Ru knew that Dong Zhuo's expression was not really an external expression of inner peace, but because he was trying his best to suppress his inner fluctuations. Years of ups and downs in officialdom had made him develop the habit of remaining calm easily.
It's not obvious on the battlefield or when facing friends, but on other occasions, Dong Zhuo has habitually put on a cold mask.
"What do you say to a good son-in-law?" Although he knew that this was a good opportunity for him to intervene in Luoyang's affairs, seeing Li Ru's slightly complicated smile, Dong Zhuo knew that his smart son-in-law had obviously seen something more.
.
"The general seems to be quite helpless now." Li Ru raised the secret letter in his hand, "Behind are the scholars who want to destroy the eunuchs and completely gain power, but in front are the empress dowagers who are blocking it, so the general wants to
Soldiers and horses from all over the country came to Beijing to pay homage to the Queen Mother
Pressure." However, this method gave the eunuchs too much time to prepare. Li Ru did not say the second part of his conclusion, because the current general controls almost all the troops in Luoyang.
, completely unlike Dou Wu back then.
"Hmph, that woman is jealous and short-sighted. A mother will have a child, and that Liu Bian is not a promising guy at all. When such an emperor ascended the throne in the Han Dynasty, it was simply...
absurd!"
Dong Zhuo obviously had strong dissatisfaction with the Queen Mother He. After all, the brother and sister made him very unhappy both in public and in private. Of course, as Dong Zhuo said, although Liu Xie was still young, Liu Bian was already 13
Years old, but still failed to show many outstanding qualities. If such an emperor relied on capable ministers and generals to govern, he might be able to maintain the situation, just like Gaozong Li Zhi of the Tang Dynasty in the future. But in this situation, the situation is complicated
In this era, it seems a bit cowardly.
You must know that the court has not reached a final conclusion on the issue of Liu Hong's posthumous title. Some people think that the word "ling" should be used to distort the confusion without damaging the meaning. Of course, there is also the consideration of not working hard to become famous, that is to say
The minister who proposed this posthumous title believed that the country was in chaos when Liu Hong was alive, but it did not damage the fundamentals.
In other words, if Liu Hong's successor is not up to par, I'm afraid this chaos will damage the foundation of the country.
By the way, because during the reign of Liu Hong, the Han army defeated Xianbei and captured Xianbei Shanyu and Lian, which caused the Xianbei people who originally dominated the north to be divided, so some people think that this should be reflected in his posthumous title.
One achievement, all
Since then, there has been a debate about Liu Hong's posthumous title. However, because most of Xiliang's land is now in the hands of rebellious people like Han Sui and Bian Zhang, Liu Hong probably still has to carry his title of "Han Ling Emperor".
Let’s put it in the history books.
In public affairs, Dong Zhuo was naturally upright and upright, but in private affairs, Dong Zhuo's backbone was not so strong.
The relationship between Dong Zhuo and the eunuchs is very ambiguous. The eunuchs have a cooperative relationship with the Empress Dowager Dong's family, and Dong Zhuo and the Empress Dowager Dong both have the surname Dong. Therefore, although the Empress Dowager Dong has no regard for Dong Zhuo, a humble and powerful person who claims to be a descendant of Dong Zhongshu,
I was not very impressed, but considering that the status of my family was not very high, I acquiesced in Dong Zhuo's move to seek relatives. Anyway, I got a lot of jewelry and famous horses from it. After having a generous and rich relative,
There are just many ways.
This is also another talisman that Dong Zhuo can use to turn disaster into good luck. Although Empress Dowager Dong is not very involved in politics, the effect of saying a few kind words on daily basis is sometimes more useful to Dong Zhuo than to deal with it now.
Much more.
It's a pity that such an amulet, which was far more upright than the eunuchs, was destroyed by the He Jin brothers and sisters. How could Dong Zhuo not hate it?
"Wen You, tell me when is the right time for us to go to Beijing." Dong Zhuo felt that he could no longer bear it at this time.
"If you are impatient, sir, we can break up a small number of troops and lurk in the mountains and forests of Henan. The 'big men' in Luoyang City are now closely watching the mobilization of the army in and around Luoyang City. The small group of troops are afraid
If we don't put it in their eyes, we can stay close and wait for the right time to take action."
"That's very good. Later, you can tell Li Jue and Guo Si to select elite soldiers. Also notify Duan Xuan and Yang Ding, asking them to step up their preparations and ensure that they can arrive at Luoyang City within five days. Then tell Niu Fu to wait for me to leave.
Finally, let’s give those monkeys in Baibo Valley a taste. Don’t think that I, Dong Zhongying, am just here to enjoy the mountains and rivers.”
Dong Zhuo looked at the march map in his tent and stared at the big square in the center of the map, his expression becoming calmer.
