30. Combat careers change the world, life careers change history
"The north wind is blowing~the snowflakes are flying~"
"Okay, okay~ don't torture our ears like this~ Really, you know it's so cold but you still run out and suffer. I don't know what you think, ugh... I miss the warmth of the fire."
The complaining duo were Li Shushi's little friends and Su Xiaoluoli. At this time, the two were walking in the rugged mountains under the first snowfall in Xihe in the first year of Zhongping. At this time, the ground had already been covered with a thin layer of snow.
The white color makes the ground a little slippery. The originally rugged road and the biting mountain mist whizzing past from time to time all make people feel fearful.
Yes, to go out and walk on such a frightening road in such weather, Li Shushi obviously had a little too much fun, but even though he knew this situation, he still did it without hesitation. Not only did he do this
At this time, he was accompanied by Dian Wei, Xu Chu, Zhao Yun, Xu Huang, Wu Luan and many other followers to suffer the punishment with him.
And Li Shushi also knew that although the road conditions outside Lishi City at this time may be much better than them here, the weather on the road dozens of miles apart is exactly the same, and whether it is the veterans who followed him before or those who came from the Yellow Turban
The army is surrendering
The recruits selected from the people in Helishi and its surrounding areas, as well as the servants of the Li family in Xihe, will be led by Lu Bu, Gao Shun, Cao Chun and others to carry out several months of winter training in the cold wind.
Wind and cold temperatures hone their skills and will.
Although the training will be very difficult, and there may be deserters, Li Shushi believes that as long as the logistics support is good and the officers participate in the training, the probability of this happening should be reduced to an acceptable level.
What's more, during this period, Li Shushi will also formulate some strike plans based on the intelligence collected, so that the soldiers who are undergoing boring training can warm up. This can be regarded as a benefit for the soldiers to train well (heavy fog).
However, formulating a combat plan requires absolutely reliable intelligence sources to achieve precise strikes. So how can Li Shushi, who came completely airborne, obtain enough and accurate intelligence? Of course, he must investigate it himself.
Therefore, although it was very difficult, Li Shushi still decided to give full play to his "excellent counter salesman" career, which had been almost relegated to the corner, and disguised himself and his men as a group of businessmen to go to the tiger's den. Oh no, it should be a gathering of barbarians.
By the way, in order to make things more realistic, Li Shushi brought genuine goods, and the person who kindly provided these materials was Li Shushi's family - the businessman of the Li family in Xihe who is responsible for the division of foreign business.
Team.
It has to be admitted that the Li family of Xihe is indeed a local snake that has taken root in Xihe for many years. They have more or less explicit or covert interactions with the surrounding Hu people. After all, although many Hu tribes have been naturalized
to the rule of the Han Dynasty
However, influenced by the idea of "Han national chauvinism", the Han people are also very prepared for those foreign races that "are not of our race but have different hearts" and often rebel and rebel. Therefore, many of the urgently needed supplies within the race need to rely on the Han people.
Come for turnover.
Of course, the relationship between "people who are not our race must have different hearts" and capriciousness is like which came first, the chicken or the egg. No one can completely explain it. After all, the Central Plains Dynasty has been assimilating the surrounding foreign races since the Shang and Zhou dynasties.
For example, Tai Shici, who was born in Huang County, Donglai, might have the blood of Dongyi people in his veins. Jiang Ziya is of Qiang blood through and through, and might still be able to reconcile with the Qiang people.
Jiang Wei has the same ancestors, counting them up. And most of the officials under Liu Hong's rule spent money to buy officials and then worked hard to get their money back. After all, Liu Hong even used tricks such as "installment payment" in order to sell his officials.
came out. So, the "blue sky is three feet high" level officials trained by Liu Hong have already forced the people in the wealthy areas of the Central Plains to rebel, so why do they care about the small alien race?
So if you look at the guys who can effectively manage the foreign races, they basically have a common characteristic, either they are honest and honest and can treat Han and foreign people fairly, or they are demon king-level figures who can kill children decisively and stop children from crying at night.
Therefore, the strategy Jia Xu formulated for Li Shushi was to use carrots and sticks, a two-pronged approach, with both material and spiritual civilization being strong. From this point of view, the ancestors of American xxism were obviously more skilled in playing this game.
Of course, these things are issues that Li Shushi needs to consider and have nothing to do with the caravan leaders of the Li family in Xihe. They resolutely follow Master Ma's teachings. They don't care about the constraints of the Han Dynasty laws if they can make several times the profits. But this is not the case.
Fortunately, Li Shushi didn't need to search for guides all over the world. At least these businessmen were very familiar with the human geography of Xihe and the surrounding areas.
But in fact, what surprised Li Shushi most was not the proficiency of these businessmen in business, because this was what they used to make a living. What surprised him most was the professionalism of these people and their loyalty to the country of Han Dynasty.
Yes, for the country of the Han Dynasty, it is neither the Emperor of the Han Dynasty who is now sitting in Luoyang City, nor the imperial court in front of the emperor who holds the great power of the Han Dynasty, nor the nation of the Han Dynasty. It can even be said that this country has been influenced by the Qin Dynasty since Shang Yang
The people in the heavily influenced areas are born with unique feelings towards the unified country. Even after hundreds of years, this feeling has not been diluted. Instead, it has become more deeply rooted in their blood because of the prosperity and power of the Han Dynasty.
among.
Therefore, when they learned that Li Shushi needed to organize several caravans to go to various places in Xihe to explore information, the merchants did not show any refusal or dissatisfaction as Li Shushi suspected. Instead, they silently packed their bags and prepared various goods for the trip, and even
Several older businessmen joined forces to offer Li Shushi
A topographic map of Xihe County, with detailed markings on the topography and landforms of Xihe County, as well as tribal divisions and approximate spheres of influence. The map was so detailed that even Jia Xu had to lament his workload because of the map's
The reasons will be greatly reduced. Of course, his chances of excelling will also be reduced a lot.
Similarly, the performance of these businessmen in the wind and snow is also admirable. Maybe their bodies are a little bloated, maybe their potential is not outstanding, maybe they have dealt with a few commodities in their lives, but they have
It cannot be denied that to some extent they are also a group of persistent people and a group of people worthy of admiration.
Li Shushi sent a total of three such caravans. One was led by himself, one was handed over to Jia Xu, and the other was handed over to Cao Ling. Although Cao Ling preferred to complete his "cooking" with Su Xiaoluoli.
"God training", but Su Xiaololi just dismissed it with "If you complete the task, you will get a recipe from the 'God of Cooking' series, and the reward will be increased accordingly according to the completion level of the task." What a big egg this is.
It's a saying, and it still shines.
Of course, Li Shushi was also secretly glad. Fortunately, Su Xiaololi didn't have a purple-haired dictionary emperor or a beautiful black-bellied man who was a tomboy who founded a strange society.
He will definitely become yellow-haired. But perhaps what he should be most happy about is that in this era and place there are no strategic weapons of mass destruction like violins (without fog), but he always feels that he will pay the price for his shallowness in the future.
Yes (smile).
Li Shushi's affairs in Xihe were handed over to Cheng Yu, Tong Yuan and Lu Bu, the "Three Giants of Xihe". Wu Luan and Jia Xu were both transferred away by Li Shushi, so Li Shushi left all official evaluation and intelligence gathering work to Tong Yuan and Li Shushi.
Already very busy
Cheng Yu's head. But looking at Cheng Yu's energetic look, Li Shushi is really looking forward to how Cheng Yu will be tortured by a large number of trivial tasks after he comes back from this trip. Yes, Li Shushi has a sinister attribute.
Unknowingly, it happened again.
As for Liu Meng and Wu Luan, who were forced to live in two places, Li Shushi didn't need to worry about it, because compared to Liu Meng who didn't know whether he could be called the Tauren chief, Wu Luan actually hoped that his husband could have a real chief.
courage.
However, in Li Shushi's view, this woman who was tough both in appearance and heart still didn't understand his husband well enough. At least Li Shushi could see that Liu Meng was completely the second in age to Fang Xuan. Well, it was Fang Xuan.
Seniors of the same age are more appropriate. Although on the surface they look like
There is no difference between Usagi (from appearance to behavior), but they are actually very independent in their hearts, but sometimes in order to accommodate their overly powerful wife, plus the scholar from Qinglong Shrine, it is obvious that the martial arts value is far better than that of the other three major shrines.
Graduates, the result is what it is now.
However, Li Shushi believes that Liu Meng can still be worth looking forward to, especially since there is no Wu Luan to rely on.
"I said fearless, what is the relationship between Xihe Karasuma and Taiyuan Karasuma? And why did we choose Pinglu County, which is far away from Lishi, as our first stop instead of Gaolang County, which is right in front of us? It seems that
The Jie clan is probably much inferior in strength compared to Karasuma."
Li Shushi tightened his tight leather jacket and turned to look at the man behind him who was driving the big car that Su Xiaololi was riding in. Although the man looked very bloated because of his thick clothes, his eyes were not shining, which showed that he was not a good person.
It's a simple character. Of course, if you want to deliberately ignore the seven-foot short spear next to him, then don't cry out for injustice when you go to the Palace of Hell.
This person's surname is Li and his nickname is Wuwei. He is a branch of the Li family in Xihe. Although it can be seen from the name that his elders hope that he can become an active warrior on the battlefield, you must know that this name also represented an anomaly.
A brave young man. But obviously he has given all the courage in his name to his adventurous spirit. Therefore, there is a big gap between him and ordinary businessmen. At least in Li Shushi's view, he who does not sell goods on weekdays is really
It seems a bit boring.
However, Li Gan has his own opinions on this.
"For businessmen like us, the most important thing is not how much you can say, but how much you can do. As long as you can bring the goods they need and have enough strength to protect your goods from being lost halfway.
Lost, you are eligible to set a reasonable price for your goods with them. So I never have to waste words when doing business with them, and as time goes by, I spend more on transactions every time there
Time is getting less and less.”
So it should be said that he is truly worthy of a being with such a powerful name as Li Gan. Li Shushi feels that reading thousands of books is not as good as traveling thousands of miles.
