"Congratulations, my lord. Although the land of Xihe is slightly poorer than the Central Plains, it is better because it is on the edge of the country, and most of the land belongs to foreigners. Therefore, the imperial court is usually more indulgent towards the governors of such places, as long as there are no large-scale
Civil unrest will be completely ignored, and even those who are accustomed to exploitation will often look down upon such a place."
At this time, Li Shushi, who had seen off the two lieutenants, called his men over and announced the future that the two lieutenants had decided for him. Originally, Li Shushi was a little worried about the inner feelings of some of his non-direct members.
There were some fluctuations, but to his surprise, no one showed much disappointment at the result.
In fact, you can understand it if you think about it for a while. Needless to say, Li Shushi's direct lineage members have long been very clear about Li Shushi's plan to develop in Xihe County. After all, the Li family's foundation that Li Shushi wants to inherit is in Xihe.
For those generals who are not directly related to the Han Dynasty, the tradition of the Han Dynasty for so many years is to rely on military merit to make marquises. Therefore, if a soldier wants to make his wife Yinzi, the border is the best place. Because compared with the sporadic and uncertain scale of rebellion,
, the border war not only produced many meritorious deeds, but also created a reputation for opening up new territories. Even civil servants may not be able to resist its huge temptation.
As for the three limited civil servants in Li Shushi's army, Liu Meng and Wu Luan looked like wives and husbands, and a certain cavalry with queen tendencies could even be said to be the first one among everyone present to support this decision.
, In her words: "I just want to prove that our daughter's family can also make a decisive contribution to the stability of the Han Dynasty's frontier."
At the same time, Wu Luan's mistress also expressed that not only was he willing to follow his wife north, but he was also confident to persuade his family to come to Xihe, because the benefits from trade with foreign tribes have always been very generous. As long as Li Shushi can provide
With strong protection, he said that he could persuade a group of families to send their children north to help Li Shushi.
Finally, there is Cheng Yu. Speaking of which, Cheng Yu is probably the one who least wants to go north. Although Cao Chun and Cheng Yu were both forced to join Li Shushi's group like Cheng Yu, but just like
As I just said, the fate of generals
Originally they were killed in battle, but now Li Shushi has provided them with such a platform, not to mention that Li Shushi has also been supported by senior military figures Huangfu Song and Zhu Jun. As long as they can make achievements, there is no need to worry about their future future.
.
But Cheng Yu is slightly different. He is a civil official, and his role is not as simple as that of a military commander. For Cheng Yu, his goal is obviously not to become the governor of a state or county in the local area, or to become one of the three princes of the imperial court.
A pillar like Jiuqing. But
If you follow Li Shushi, a lord who wants to be famous but not famous, and who wants to have a good family background, Cheng Yu will probably not be noticed by many people even if he has great abilities. Then the only hope for him to achieve his goal is to assist Li Shushi to rise to power.
This is the way to go.
But as mentioned just now, Li Shushi is a leader who wants nothing. Although he has soldiers and generals, he can develop into a promising warlord. But within this stable system, Li Shushi's achievements have come to an end.
Just like what Dong Zhuo faced after entering the capital. No matter how hard he tried to win over the scholars, even if he had enough power in his hands, the entire noble family still ignored his efforts and even turned against him. Except for Cai Yong.
Who among such a few individuals and some disillusioned scholars who came from Xiliang would help Dong Zhuo consolidate his power.
Dong Zhuo's experience in history is the best reflection of the powerful and exclusive nature of the Han bureaucracy where Li Shuzhen currently works.
Just imagine, how could someone as smart as Cheng Yu fail to see Li Shushi’s inherent shortcomings?
Of course, this does not mean that an existence like Li Shushi will definitely have no future. However, it will take a long time or even several generations of management. Just like the Cao family where Cao Cao lives, it took four generations of management to give Cao Cao a chance to join the noble family.
circle
Well. And even Cao Cao, because he took over the power of eunuchs during his development, his reputation has been looked down upon by many self-proclaimed scholars. Otherwise, Cao Cao would not have promulgated the famous "Meritocracy" later.
” decree.
It's not that Cao Mengde really doesn't care about the moral character of his men, but that people with strong moral character simply disdain his regime. If Cao Cao hadn't used the brand of Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty to recruit some talents, I'm afraid Cao Cao would even
There is no need for Yuan Shao to take action, so he can only continue to be Yuan Shao's thug and beat him.
However, in the end, Cheng Yu stayed because Li Shushi expressed the hope that Cheng Yu would be his chief secretary and be in charge of all the government affairs up and down Xihe. Such an appointment that seemed to delegate power directly stunned Cheng Yu. For people like him, he will never be afraid
Challenges and pressures are just a fear of not being able to use his talents. But now Li Shushi has set up a stage for him, and the stage is big enough for him now, so how can he refuse?
In this way, Cheng Yu said the opening words with a righteous look. Of course, from the angle that Cheng Yu couldn't see, Lu Bu, Gao Shun and others looked relieved. Yes, Anpingguo did that
Over a period of time, these military generals have completely lost their enthusiasm for government affairs. If Li Shushi hadn't been accompanied by Tai Shi Ci at that time, they might have wanted to wipe their necks.
"Is my dear brother Shushi here? Liu Bei has come to pay his respects. I hope to see you."
Just when Li Shushi had basically adjusted the thoughts of his men, Liu Bei's familiar voice came from outside the tent. This made Li Shushi very strange. It was obvious that Liu Bei had just led his soldiers out to wipe out the remnants of the Yellow Turban Army not long ago, why now?
But he came to his own camp again? Could it be that he was so compassionate that he couldn't attack the remnants of the Yellow Turban Army?
With such doubts, Li Shushi announced the adjournment of the meeting and asked Le Jin to introduce Liu Bei into the tent.
"I'm telling you, Brother Liu, if you didn't take the opportunity to capture the Yellow Turban Army and get more merit, you would come to me now. You'd be wasting your opportunity."
Because he was so familiar with Liu Bei, Li Shushi still had the same attitude as before when talking to Liu Bei. However, Li Shushi's attitude of treating Liu Bei as an ordinary person obviously made the big man behind Liu Bei and next to Zhang Fei a little dissatisfied.
"Humph, he's just a lackey of the Yellow Turban Army. He thought that if he surrendered to the army, he would be on an equal footing with my elder brother. Bah!"
"Second brother, Xiu Yao is talking nonsense!" "Second brother, the bookish and wise brother is not what you think."
"We are the lackeys of the Yellow Turban Army, so who are you? You are just a low-class gangster." The rather grumpy Le Jin was extremely angry when he heard the other party commenting on his lord, so he was somewhat indiscriminate in his words.
Spoken.
"Okay, Wen Qian, how embarrassing is it for you to say this to Bo Ren? Why don't you apologize to Bo Ren quickly?"
"I'm sorry, Brother Boren. Wen Qian didn't use his words carefully. I hope you won't be angry."
Regarding Li Shushi's criticism, Le Jin was straightforward. Although Dian Wei was cautious and vicious, he was still very friendly in private and was frank with colleagues who had similar temperaments to him. He often gave advice to Li Shushi on weekdays.
The weapons of personal guards and bodyguards
Arts, especially Xu Chu and Yue Jin, two young generals that Li Shushi valued very much, taught each other everything. Therefore, when they faced Dian Wei in private, they were both teachers. Now they find that their words have hurt
When it came to Dianwei, Le Jin's apology was naturally crisp and sincere.
Dian Wei just smiled at Le Jin's recklessness. After all, the other party made such harsh remarks to protect Li Shushi. However, Dian Wei was not polite to the man he did not know.
Pan Gong suddenly felt as if the air around him was about to solidify. What surprised him even more was that the solidified air was squeezing towards his body bit by bit. At this time, Pan Gong felt as if someone had squeezed his throat.
He was pinched, speechless and out of breath, but Liu Bei and Zhang Fei beside him were not aware of all this.
If Zhang Fei hadn't suddenly noticed something was wrong with his second brother's state and promptly cut off the aura between Dian Wei and Pan Gong, I'm afraid Pan Gong would have been dispatched alive by Dian Wei's aura.
"We haven't seen each other for a few months. Brother Bo Ren has become more and more powerful. We, Mr. Zhang, are even a little envious."
"Yide is not bad. The use of momentum is more pure than before. If we have time, we can find a place to compete again."
Although Zhang Fei and Dian Wei competed for momentum, they were both on the verge of leaving. Neither party wanted to break the original friendly relationship between the two parties. After all, it can be seen from Cao Cao's attitude that if Liu Bei and Li Shushi want to advance in their official careers
If they go further, then they two people with similar backgrounds will need to stick together, not to mention that the relationship between the two people is not bad in the first place.
"This is my sworn brother. His surname is Pan and his surname is Gong Liang. Although he is a bit reckless, he is also a loyal man who is worried about the court. This time I collided with my dear brother. I think it was just a misunderstanding. I hope my dear brother will not do anything.
Keep it in mind. Say it
Ashamed, I originally wanted to join the generals in the army and gain credit for their size. However, the preparation force was weak and the hands and feet were slow. Therefore, by the time we attacked, the generals had already returned victoriously, so the preparations had to be empty-handed.
And he’s back.”
"So where will Mr. Xuande go from now on?" Since Liu Bei planned to expose the matter and not mention it, Li Shushi did not intend to pursue it any further, so he followed the flow and asked about the other party's whereabouts. But obviously, the original intimate atmosphere between the two parties
Now it has been completely destroyed by Pan Palace and is no longer what it used to be.
"Bei has just bid farewell to the two lieutenant generals, and is going to meet Master Lu in Jizhou to help our master."
"That's just right. I'm going to Jizhou to look for Dong Zhonglang general Dong Zhuo and Dong Zhongying. Then I'll go with Xuande Gong."
Considering that this trip north is likely to encounter Lu Zhi's imprisonment, Dong Zhuo's defeat and other events, the success rate of following Liu Bei, the son of the crystal wall, in triggering events is obviously much higher than his own endless search, so Li Shushi decided to go with Liu Bei
Peers.
"That would be great." Liu Bei was obviously very happy. Perhaps he thought this was a good opportunity to resolve conflicts, so Li Shushi's proposal also received a positive response from him.
However, although Liu Bei's idea was good, looking at Le Jin who was still sulky, and looking at Dian Wei and Xu Chu who were expressionless, Li Shushi felt that the impact of this incident would never be eliminated so easily.
