Gongsun Chan, it's finally over!

The lobby, which was originally staggered and full of laughter, was instantly silent. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

Whether it was a military general like Huo Quzhi or a person like Chen Ping, they all fell silent at this time, and there was a trace of jealousy in their eyes.

Although Yuan Shao's defeat of Gongsun Zan was expected, and everyone was mentally prepared, when this day really came, a chill still passed through their hearts uncontrollably.

Yi Jing fell, Gongsun Zhan committed suicide, and Yuan Shao was able to sweep away the remaining enemies of Youzhou and annex the entire Youzhou in a few days.

This means that the four states of Hebei and Qingdao will completely fall into the hands of Yuan Shao, and the Yuan family will unify Hebei.

If the number of states occupied by the pure theory, the potters have three states of Xu Yanyu, as well as half of Yangzhou and half of Sizhou.

It's just that his land of four states cannot be compared with Yuan Shao's land of four states at all.

First of all, Xuzhou was bloodbathed twice by Cao Cao, and then repeatedly fought for by potters and Liu Bei and Lu Bu, and suffered great damage, and the economy and population are even less than one-tenth of the original.

As for the land of Yanyu seized from Cao Cao, it was wreaked havoc by the Yellow Turban Kou in the early years, and then repeatedly fought for by Cao Cao, Lu Bu and Yuan Shu, and destroyed it again.

Although Cao Cao's operation has recovered slightly over the years, after the great war between the potters and Cao Cao, it has been destroyed again, and the population and economy are less than one-tenth of the original.

As for Henan Yin, to which Luoyang belongs, this small piece of Sizhou land, was plagued by the disaster of Dong Zhuo's rebellion, although it has been slightly restored in recent years, it is only stronger than the "barren land".

There is also Northern Yangzhou, where Huainan is located, which was originally a rich land, but the people who were harmed by Yuan Shu, a big man, were not able to make a living, and they were also dilapidated.

Therefore, although the area controlled by the potters is large, it is a cruel area, which can only be described as "poor".

Hebei is different, except for the Yellow Turban Rebellion, the main thing is that the two princes of Yuan Shao and Gongsun Zan are fighting, and they have not been repeatedly tug-of-war by the heroes, and the damage suffered is naturally far inferior to the Central Plains states, and the population and economy are naturally far stronger than the Central Plains.

Not to mention the other three states, just Jizhou alone, its population is probably more than the three states of Yanyu and Xu combined.

In this era of underdeveloped science and technology, the economy is strong, the number of troops, the number of people is the number of people, who has more people on the territory, who can recruit more soldiers and horses, who has more Dingkou on the territory, who can grow more food, feed more soldiers and horses.

Taking all these things into account, in addition to holding the trump card of the Son of Heaven and occupying the soft power advantage of Dayi, the hard power is weaker than Yuan Shao.

Of course, the potter also has the Heroic Soul Summoning, the plug-in of this system.

It's just that it's difficult for a clever woman to cook without rice, even if the potter has a system plug-in, even if he summons all the heroic souls that can be summoned now, he can't turn the people into Dingkou, he can't summon food, there is a group of talents, there are no soldiers and no food, and he still has to be crushed by Yuan Shao.

"Yuan Shao unified Hebei, and he will definitely raise troops to the south in the near future, and we should stabilize the hearts of the people in the Central Plains as much as possible, restore the economy, and collect grain and grass before we have the strength to fight a decisive battle with Yuan Shao." Chen Pingjiu didn't drink anymore, and said with a straight face.

The potter nodded slightly, deeply convinced.

The top priority at the moment is naturally to recover the Central Plains from the war, let officials at all levels recruit displaced people, and persuade farmers to return to the fields to develop the economy.

"It's just that I'm good at scheming, a drunkard, but I'm not good at governance, and Da Sima's command seems to be lacking in political talent." Chen Ping said ashamedly.

"And." After a pause, Chen Ping said again: "Not only is there a lack of talent in governance, but if you want to govern the Central Plains in a short period of time, you can fight with Yuan Shao, what you need is not only the talent of governance, but also a genius who is proficient in governance." ”

A prodigy who is proficient in governance......

The potter's expression was slightly shocked, and when he reminded him like this, he suddenly thought of something, and secretly thought in his heart: "In this case, then I will summon a heroic soul with super political ability and quickly clean up the mess of the Central Plains for me." ”

After a few rolls of his eyes, the potter had an idea, so he concentrated his mind and awakened the sleeping system essence.

"Don't sleep, it's time to work again, turn all my existing benevolence points into brutality points, I will summon a political wizard, and I will call out the list of heroic souls I can summon."

"Tick...... The system has been converted, deducting the conversion consumption points, the host's existing brutality points are 100, and the list of summoned heroic souls has been called up. ”

In the mind of the pottery merchant, a long list immediately appeared, and what Shang Ying, Li Kui, Wu Qi, Huo Guang, and the famous ministers of the ancient governance were all listed in front of him.

The potter glanced up and down a few times, his mind spun quickly, weighing the pros and cons, and finally, his gaze was fixed on a conspicuous name:

Xiao He, the founding prime minister of the Western Han Dynasty, commander 60, military force 57, resourcefulness 80, politics 100, initial loyalty 20.

"The political value of 100, obediently, it's really amazing, it's the first time I can summon a heroic soul worth a single item worth 100, this famous Xiao He is really good......"

Looking at the value of "100", the potter's eyes lit up, and he almost jumped up with excitement.

The famous three heroes of the early Han Dynasty, Xiao He, the founding prime minister of the Han Dynasty, no one knows, no one knows, of course the potter knows, his 100-point political point is absolutely in line.

Think back then, when Chu and Han fought for hegemony, Liu Bang and Xiang Yu confronted each other on the front line, and they were defeated repeatedly, but they were still able to hold on, what did they rely on?

It relied on Xiao He to sit in Guanzhong, guarding a stable rear for him, continuously controlling the grain and grass in the pass, and transporting the soldiers to the front line, so that Liu Bang could turn defeat into victory and seize the world.

In the three-year Chu-Han War, Liu Bang was defeated by Xiang Yu several times and escaped alone, relying on Xiao He to send troops from Guanzhong to replenish, and the military food also depended on Xiao He to transfer to Caoguanzhong, so as to ensure the supply, which can be regarded as the first credit.

Liu Bang himself said: Suppressing the country, caring for the people, supplying the army, and giving food and salary, I am not as good as Xiao He.

In fact, with the current charm value of the pottery merchant, he can also summon other heroic spirits, such as Shang Ying's political ability, which is also full of hundreds.

However, the potter thought about it and decided to summon Xiao He.

Shang Ying implemented the law change, made the Qin State strong and prosperous, and laid the foundation for the Qin State to unify the six countries, and many of the policies implemented by the Han Dynasty and the Qin system, as well as the laws, actually originated from the Shang Dynasty.

In terms of talent and influence, Shang Ying is even slightly better than Xiao He.

It's a pity that Shang Ying's method of change was too slow, and it took many years to make the Qin State strong, and what the potter lacked most now was time, and he couldn't afford to wait.

Xiao He is different, the Chu-Han War was only three years, Liu Bang secretly crossed Chen Cang and captured Guanzhong, Xiao He used his immortal talent to govern Guanzhong in an orderly manner within a short period of time, and became Liu Bang's strong backing to seize the world.

It can be seen that the advantage of Xiao He's governance is that it can achieve quick results.

Since the potter lacks time the most, of course, the first choice is Xiao He.

"Come on, send me a scholar from the Jixian Pavilion." The potter did not hesitate and immediately ordered.

Previously, the pottery merchants fought the world, and most of them were military generals, so they paid more attention to the summoning of the heroic souls of military generals, so there was the existence of the martial arts hall.

As the territory grew larger and larger, the importance of potters to scribes became more and more clear, so before January, a new "Jixian Pavilion" was built as a pretext for him to summon scribes.

A moment later, a scholar in his thirties was summoned to the front of the hall, still kneeling in front of the potter.

The potter then pressed his hand on the top of his head, and said solemnly: "The decisive battle between this Sima and Yuan Shao is imminent, and there is a lack of a political wizard under his command. ”

As soon as these words came out, everyone on the left and right was shocked, and they all knew that their own lord had dug up a genius and wanted to entrust him with a heavy task.

Everyone was surprised that the potter valued this person so much that he gave him the name Xiao He.

"The body has been chosen, let's start summoning." The potter ordered again with his mind.

"Tick...... The physical body is compliant, and now it begins to load the heroic soul, 10 ...... 9…… 8…… 7……”

When the last countdown was over, the potter let go of his palm, took a few steps back, and raised his hand to signal him to rise.

The scribe slowly stood up.

The original plain temperament has suddenly changed, and in those eyes, there are cangsang and deep pits, as if he has seen through the world, and knows the laws of the operation of the world in his chest.

"Xiao He visited Da Sima, thanks to Da Sima's trust, why would he be willing to go to the fire for Da Sima, and he would not hesitate to do anything." Xiao He arched his hand towards him and said calmly.

This momentum is indeed the founding prime minister of the Han Dynasty.

The potter smiled with his hand, "Go to the soup and fight the fire, that's the matter of these generals of Fan Xu, I want to appoint you as Shang Shuling, take care of the political affairs of the states for me, you must appease the hearts of the people as quickly as possible, and restore the economy, can you do it?" ”

As soon as the potter was appointed, not only Huo Qubing and other military generals, but even if it was a strategist and scribe like Chen Ping, his face also changed, and he was all shocked.

Although Shang Shuling is not in charge of a large position, but he has real power, since the pottery merchant is the big Sima, the government affairs of the court, the affairs of the states, all can be managed by Shang Shuling.

That is to say, with an order from the potter, Xiao He, who had just been named, was promoted to the head of the scribes.

This trust, this courage to employ people, how can it not surprise everyone.

Xiao He didn't feel the slightest flattery, as if it was a natural thing to attach importance to the potter, so he just bowed his hand and said lightly: "Cheng is trusted by Da Sima, why do you have to do your best." ”

"Good." The potter nodded, but asked again: "Say, how long will it take you to run the Central Plains Prefectures to the point where you can feed my tens of thousands of troops and fight with Yuan Shao." ”

Xiao He thought for a while and raised a finger, "He guarantees that at most, in one year, you can meet Da Sima's requirements." ”

"It's too slow." The potter shook his head and raised his palm, "A year is too long, Yuan Shao won't give me so much time, I can only give you five months, five months at most." ”

"Five months ......" Xiao He frowned slightly, and his face was a little embarrassed.

You must know that after Cao Cao seized the Central Plains, it took about three years to restore the economy of the Central Plains to the level before the Tao Cao War.

The potter only gave Xiao He only one year, and asked him to complete what Cao Cao could only do in three years, which was so difficult.

Yingbu and other ministers on the left and right frowned, revealing a difficult look, looking at the silent Xiao He, thinking that he didn't dare to deal with this errand.

Unexpectedly, Xiao He was only silent for a moment, and then resolutely said: "Five months is five months, He will take over this burden." ”
