Marrying a wife is very complicated, but marrying a concubine is much simpler. Just look through the almanac to find a good time. After all, wife and concubine were completely different concepts at that time.
The date was set well, it was the eighth day of May. There is nothing to say about why I chose this day. After all, with Chen Xi’s status, you can’t get married quickly unless you don’t intend to follow etiquette, but it is obviously impossible. It goes against the common rules.
Chen Xi would not do anything that complies with the rules unless absolutely necessary.
The speed of government affairs processing is getting faster and faster. Taishan's soldiers have not stopped training yet. They will give it a try next year. Although the plan is for the year after next, with the addition of Guo Fengxiao, Chen Xi really can't say anything.
Coupled with a series of chaotic battles next year, Chen Xi also had to make more preparations.
"Zilong, are you sure we have a population of 860,000 now?" Chen Xi was shocked when he saw Zhao Yun's thorough investigation. Unknowingly, Taishan became one of the top ten most populous counties in the Han Dynasty, although it was far less than Nanyang.
County, Runan County, Chen State, can be regarded as one of the most important counties, so don’t make any mistakes.
"I came here from town to town." Zhao Yun said with a smile, convincing Chen Xi with facts.
"Well, if you raise 50,000 soldiers like this, there won't be any problems in the short term." Chen Xi breathed a sigh of relief. As long as he was fast enough, 50,000 soldiers could take out the invading Yellow Turbans in a month, so there wouldn't be much of a problem.
To be honest, Chen Xi envied Yuan Shu, the prodigal son. If Liu Bei had the power of Yuan Shu, why would he need such cunning calculations? Nanyang County has a population of 2.4 million, Runan County has a population of 2.1 million, and Chen Guo has a population of 100.
Five hundred thousand, and other parts of Yuzhou have a population of at least one million. With such a large population swallowing up one or two million Yellow Turbans, there is really no need to take a breath, so Chen Xi is really envious and jealous of Yuan Shu!
"Do we really have to take action against Qingzhou next year?"
"Well, according to the intelligence from the north, both Gongsun Bogui and Yuan Benchu are preparing for a battle. It is estimated that the two sides will clash in the spring of next year as soon as the weather gets warmer. And once Yuan Benchu frees up his hands in the north, his first target will be Qingzhou."
Chen Xi crossed his fingers to support his head and said with a cold face, "If we don't want to be targeted by Yuan Benzhu, we have to turn everything into an established fact as soon as possible so that he has no chance to interfere with us."
"What about Dong Zhuo? I don't believe that Dong Zhuo spent so much effort in the beginning and is now indifferent after finally seeing the results." Zhao Yun pointed out what Lu Su had always wanted to say.
"Dong Zhuo is about to die soon." Chen Xi smiled and turned out the information sent back from Chang'an and handed it to Zhao Yun and Lu Su, "Take a look, I think you can tell it with your ability."
After Lu Su and Zhao Yun browsed through it roughly, they looked at each other and said in unison, "Beauty Trap!"
But the difference is that Zhao Yun then smiled and said, "I think if the book Thirty-Six Strategies can be sold, it will probably be worth tens of thousands of gold. At least I might not have noticed such details before, but now these things have been refined
On the contrary, it is too simple, just apply it directly. Although the flexibility is not very good, it is probably more than enough to deal with ordinary generals."
"Zilong should stop thinking nonsense. This kind of book is an heirloom in any family. Zichuan is extremely generous if he is willing to lend it to us. As for selling it, it is impossible. Military books have only been sold like this since ancient times." Lu Su said directly.
This extinguished Zhao Yun's delusion.
Lu Su understands the subtlety of this book very well. It is different from Sun Tzu's Art of War, which is a military book that trains top commanders. This book is completely used to train the backbone of the army in large quantities. It does not require you to think on your own. It only requires you to be able to make analogies and formulas.
You can have a good time.
You may not be able to teach top-notch generals by relying on the Thirty-six Strategies, but you can mass-produce quasi-first-class generals who are not very good, but who are not easily taken advantage of.
If you use Sun Tzu's Art of War to teach, 90% of those who teach will be mediocre, and the remaining 10% will be elites. This is the difference. It is obvious that Chen Xi hopes that the generals can guard against ordinary strategies. As for those strategies that have no trace at all, there are naturally professional
People will handle it.
"Well, this book is not intended to be sold. It is mainly used for fishing. I don't know how well the Lu family has researched this book. You must know that although this book cannot be used to cultivate top talents, it can be read in the hands of a wise man.
There are a lot of things out there." Chen Xi smiled and said, "If we don't talk about this book anymore and continue talking about Dong Zhuo's issues, I guess it won't take long for me to be tricked by Wang Situ."
"Alas, it's a pity that Li Wenyou's plan finally ended up like this." Lu Su sighed and said, "You can definitely tell based on his intelligence, but now he doesn't say anything, he has probably already
It’s so heartbreaking, it’s such a pity.”
Scholars cherish and reject each other all the time, and Lu Su was one of the scholars who admired Li Ru very much.
"Huh, it's not a pity to die for traitors and traitors!" Zhao Yun said disdainfully.
"This is almost the situation." Chen Xi sorted out the documents, "What we have to do now is to step up the purchase of grain. The previous summer grain and autumn grain in Jiangnan have all been harvested. Before April comes, what we have to do is to buy grain with all our strength!"
Yanzhou Chenliu Cao Mengde is struggling through this cold winter. Although he has the support of his family, Cao Mengde, who does not have enough money and food, has a much harder life than Liu Bei now. Even though Xun Yu has been running in many ways, there is no way to alleviate Cao Cao's embarrassment and lack of stability.
After Chenliu came down, the Cao family had no idea of investing in it.
Because of this, although Cao Cao captured Chenliu in 191, he did not catch up with the first opportunity to take off. Fortunately, as long as he survives this winter, Zaozhi's farmland will bear fruit, well,
Just because it was two months late and the summer grain failed to catch up, the seeds of tragedy were already sown.
Let's look back at Yuan Shu in Yuzhou. Yuan Shu lived a very prosperous life in his childhood, sitting on a sacred land in the state. After learning that Sun Jian was killed by Liu Biao, Yuan Shu decisively took in Sun Jian's women, children, old and weak, and Nanyang County
Yuan Shu felt that it was necessary to clean up Yuan Yi and give Liu Biao some color to see. He saw that Sun Jian was unhappy. It was his business to fight with Sun Jian, but if Liu Biao intervened, he would definitely cut it off, so Yuan Shu had already made up his mind to give Liu Biao some trouble.
Sun Jian takes revenge.
As for the jade seal, Yuan Shu knew that it was really in Sun Ce's hands, but he could not open his mouth no matter how much he drooled. The aristocratic family members did not allow him to do such a shameful thing. To snatch Sun Jian was a war between princes.
Women, children, old and weak Yuan Shu can't afford to throw this person away.
Because of this, Yuan Shu had no choice but to use the method of conciliation in the hope of gaining the approval of the Sun family, and then presented the jade seal. Anyway, in Yuan Shu's view, the Sun family, which had no ability to take revenge at all, would have to rely on itself sooner or later.
Chen Xi asked people to pay more attention to Yuan Shu. So far, there is only one piece of relatively ruthless information. Zhou Yu has joined Yuan Shu's forces. To be precise, Zhou Yu went to find his brother. It is estimated that Zhou Yu will ignite Sun Ce in a while.
