The watery night breeze at the turn of late spring and early summer gently washes away the noise and impetuousness of the day.
The faint fragrance of flowers in the air is so refreshing.
The reflections of the stars in the sky are like countless pearls falling on the sparkling Onozawa, making the night so romantic and colorful. It also forms a very distinct contrast with the lifeless numbness of the scholars who are busy with spring plowing during the day.
comparison.
Sure enough, the world is so ironic.
Perhaps, the reason for the darkest moment of the three hundred years of the decline of China's land in the original historical trajectory was not only because of the unbearable situation of the Sima family, but also because the Cao Wei regime had planted the seeds of cause and effect early. I just don't know, this numbness that is silent in the darkness
, will it one day turn into a prairie fire and burn down all the injustices in the world?
He also took advantage of the situation and trampled us carnivores into the dust.
Xia Houhui, who was leaning against the pillars of the small pavilion, silently watched the stars in the sky falling into the lake, with a myriad of thoughts in his heart.
This was his third day in Chengyang County and also his last night.
The next day, he continued on his way to Shouchun, Huainan.
During these three days, Xia Houwei not only took him to see the Shijia military camp and Li common people's camp, but also told him many things, such as the current situation of the Huainan battlefield and the rear Yan and Xu who supported the Huainan front.
, Qing and Yuzhou and other conditions.
First, he told Xia Houhui with certainty that there would be no war in Huainan this year.
Although General Cao Zhen's attack on Shu was a foregone conclusion, the Shu-Wu alliance, following common sense, would mobilize troops to surround Wei and rescue Zhao when Wei attacked Shu. But just before the beginning of spring, Sun Quan sent general Wei Wen, and Zhuge directly led the army.
Tens of thousands of soldiers and countless ships set sail across the sea to search for Yizhou and Danzhou.
Yangzhou was divided into half by Wei and Jiangdong, and was roughly governed along the river.
If he had the intention of launching an army to invade the country, he would definitely not detach a part of his elite navy to go deep into the sea to search for the islands and alien peoples left behind before starting the war.
The other is to demonstrate to Xiahou Hui what his greatest advantage is as a founder of Qiao Pei.
At that time, when Xia Houwei took him to visit the common people's villages in Li, he proudly claimed that the villages under his jurisdiction were among the few in the entire Wei Kingdom that had not been occupied by aristocratic families and powerful rightists.
It still maintains the individual distribution of "no cattle, six officials, four civilians, half and half if there are cattle".
Because after he took office, he recovered all the occupied acres according to the previous records in the treasury.
With very strong means.
He directly led his soldiers to arrest all the nobles or stewards of powerful families who had occupied the fields, and entered them into the household registers of the landowners. In his words, these fields were all farmland classified by the government during the period of Emperor Wu.
Well, the people who cultivate these acres are naturally farmers.
What if you don’t admit it~
Do you want to rebel?!
The noble nobleman who had his family steward and disciple arrested was not willing to accept this.
I wanted to ask the prefect of Jiyin and the governor of Yanzhou to come forward and speak out, but they were rejected without exception.
Without him, the governor of the county and the internal history are not allowed to interfere in the affairs of the field captain according to law.
The most important thing is that Xia Houwei’s identity is extraordinary~
If the matter gets serious and is brought to the temple, and bureaucrats of the same level fight, will Emperor Cao Rui prefer Qiao Pei, the founder, or the county governor with a foreign surname?
Not to mention that in this matter, Xiahou Weishi was famous and well-founded!
In other words, Xia Houwei was secretly imparting his experience in serving as an official to his sixth brother who was about to be sent to a foreign country alone.
As a member of the Xiahou family, the biggest advantage is that you naturally have the trust and favoritism of the emperor!
Therefore, you don't have to worry too much when you are an official.
As long as things are correct, there are laws to follow, and it doesn't matter if you use drastic measures or do things a little extravagantly, just do it boldly, and the emperor will help and protect you if you expose the trap!
As for Xia Houhui, who was obviously released from military service, why did he encourage him to act more "recklessly"~
He did not want Xiahou Hui to be on the battlefield in Huainan for a long time.
Just as Xia Houhui knew his temperament very well, he also knew Xia Houhui very well - his sixth brother did not have the cruelty of "one general can make thousands of bones wither"!
If you want to make achievements or shine on the Huainan battlefield, you must first turn yourself into a person who regards human life as nothing.
This is the legacy of Wei Wu and Cao Cao's entrepreneurial period and the advantages and disadvantages of the enemy and ourselves.
During the period of separatist rule, Yanzhou once rebelled against Lu Bu because of Chen Gong and Zhang Miao, the Yellow Turbans were raging in Qingzhou, Xuzhou was massacred several times, and people in the Jianghuai River and Huaihe River were eaten by each other and their bones were piled up under Yuan Shu's brutal conquests.
The land in the heart of the Central Plains, which is famous for its fertility, is home to hundreds of people.
Later, Jiangdong and Wei repeatedly fought against each other in Huainan.
For strategic needs, Cao Cao of Wei Dynasty also moved the Li people from the entire Yangtze and Huaihe Rivers, leaving the area below Shouchun City uninhabited and no roosters crowing for thousands of miles. Moreover, during Cao Pi's reign, he conquered Jiangdong three times, leaving the Li people no time to cultivate and thrive; today
After the emperor Cao Rui succeeded to the throne, there was another disastrous defeat in the Battle of Shiting, and all the vitality he had finally recovered was lost.
It can be said that Wei's eastern front is currently in a tight situation, both in terms of soldiers and food and supplies.
There is no need to mention half of Yangzhou, just some people in Lu'an County.
Qingxu Prefecture can only defend itself and no longer has the strength to rush to support the Huainan front.
Yuzhou is jointly known as Jingzhou and is under the jurisdiction of Sima Yi. The daily supply of grain, fodder and materials is transferred to the Jingxiang Front. Except during the war, without the emperor's edict, Yuzhou will not be the Huainan Front.
Blood supply.
Therefore, the rear area that really continued to supply blood to the Huainan front was Yanzhou.
They are not the few county soldiers in Yanzhou, but the scholars who "serve as soldiers in wartime and as farmers when not in war".
As for the situation of the Yanzhou scholar family, he had already let Xia Houhui witness it with his own eyes.
If you want to make great achievements on the Huainan battlefield, do you hope that you can rely on these warriors who are like walking corpses to go to the front and fight the enemy bravely?
No!
He was ruthless and allowed these scholars to fill ravines to drain Wu's energy; treat them as abandoned sons to lure the enemy, contain the main force of Wu, and create opportunities for the elite elites to defeat Wu.
Yes, we must first pay the price with the lives of these scholars before we can have any hope of defeating the enemy.
"After the Battle of Shiting, the eastern front of our country Wei suffered heavy losses, and we may no longer be able to cross the Yangtze River within ten years."
This is Xia Houwei's emotion.
It is also an advice to Xia Houhui——
If Xia Houhui wants to establish himself as a soldier, he should strive to join the Luoyang Central Army. Only by joining the Luoyang Central Army can he be qualified to participate in the national war, and there will be no shortage of time to establish meritorious service.
And he has just been released to Huainan by Zuoqian. How do you plan to return to Luoyang?
It's not difficult either.
Just learn how he dealt with the embezzlement of farmland.
Man Chong, who is now guarding the Eastern Front, first became famous for not fearing the powerful and suppressing the right-wing. If Xia Houhui had maintained an upright style after arriving in Huainan, and took the opportunity to put forward opinions on the military system, farming and other shortcomings, he would naturally be able to
After winning the favor of many people and having the surname Xiahou, it will not be difficult to return to Luoyang.
However, Xia Houwei's hard work was all in vain.
Xia Houhui was "stubbornly" convinced that the Huainan battlefield had great potential, and he was the best choice to stand out as a martial artist.
After all, there is Sun Quan~
However, Xia Houwei's sincere words are not without merit.
On the contrary, he gave Xia Houhui a sense of darkness and light.
This made Xia Houhui's desire for power that could influence the power of the government flourish.
Although he had known for a long time that the Wei State had a reputation for being cruel to the common people and soldiers since the beginning of Emperor Cao Cao, but the feelings he heard from others and what he saw with his own eyes were completely different.
Yes, he really wanted to change the military system and give those scholars the power to be human beings.
It's just that he doesn't have the strength to change now.
So he also began to be extremely thirsty for power.
This is not because he has a compassionate mind, but because of his ambition - if he can improve the world's military system, then he will receive the support of all scholars and have countless soldiers who are willing to die for him!
This power cannot be compared to adopting children sporadically!
If you want to prolong the life of Cao Wei and avoid the collapse of China, one of the ways is to persuade the emperor Cao Rui, to kill the Gaoping Ling Incident is also one of the ways, and to eliminate the unpopular ills such as the world military system is also one of the ways.
Of course, improving the military system cannot happen overnight.
It was also impossible to tell Xia Houwei truthfully.
Therefore, he listened to his fourth brother's advice very humbly, and after showing a very useful attitude, he came up with another purpose of visiting his brother: to ask Xia Houwei if he would allow his retinue, Uncle Sun, to
Select some children with good qualifications from the scholars' families and bring them back to raise them as a family.
Xiahou Wei thought about this briefly and then agreed.
My sixth brother has already joined the military service, so why don't we need to cultivate a military corps?
Moreover, he controlled most of the military and civilian villages of Jiyin County, and he just casually marked the records of some children of scholar families as having died in infancy.
What a big deal.
Furthermore, if a child from a scholar's family could be adopted by Xia Houhui, that would be a kind act that would change their destiny, wouldn't it?
Naturally, after agreeing, he also chatted a few words.
Claiming to adopt the children of scholars as soldiers is a long-term solution.
Xia Houhui's current plan is to not be proud of his family status after arriving in Shouchun, Huainan, but to have a peaceful mind and interact with the reckless men in the army. In this way, in case of a crisis on the battlefield, he can
There were soldiers who upheld the righteousness of their robes and fought alongside him to the death.
For this, Xia Houhui expressed his sincere thanks.
It also inspired him to have another idea.
There should be many elite soldiers stationed on the Huainan front who are from humble backgrounds, are still young but have excellent talents and learning, right?
If I treat him honestly and have a heart-to-heart relationship with him when he is unknown and has no talent, I should be able to gain his goodwill and be able to help him in the future, right?
Moreover, his friendship with Du Shu is okay~
If you find some minor officials who are limited by their family status and cannot be promoted, you can also recommend them to Du Shu to enter the emperor's enke~
With this in mind, Xia Houhui was not at all depressed about the fact that he might not be able to achieve meritorious service from the thief Wu Xun this year. And after he arrived in Shouchun, Huainan to join the job, he actually discovered such a person.
