"What's so hard about that. Ci is familiar with Youzhou, and Ci can lead the troops," Tai Shi Ci volunteered to say.

"General Ziyi went to Youzhou, who will lead the troops to attack Xuzhou for the government?" Cai Ji spread his hands and smiled bitterly.

Tai Shici was reminded by Cai Ji like this, and also realized that the battle of Xuzhou was imminent, and a general was needed, so he couldn't help but groan and asked, "Does the lord mean to send General Junyi?" ”

Guo Jia, who knew that Guo Jia on the side shook his head on the spot and vetoed, "It's not appropriate." General Junyi was originally Yuan Shao's general, and if the lord sent General Junyi to lead his troops to Youzhou, Yuan Shao would inevitably think that the lord was taking the opportunity to expel the forces he had planted in Donglai. After all, Yuan Shao is not short of 10,000 people in Donglai. The reason why he asked the lord to send troops to Youzhou during the chaos in the Central Plains was to test the lord's attitude and test whether the lord was still serving the Yuan family. ”

Cai Ji had to admit that Guo Jia's analysis was very thorough. Indeed, although there are many generals under Cai Ji's command at present, the only generals who are really qualified to be able to take charge of the expedition and command the expedition are Tai Shici, Zhang Jaw and Zhang Liao. Among them, Zhang Liao is the new general, and his old lord Lu Bu is still alive. Even if Cai Ji was optimistic about Zhang Liao, it was impossible to let him lead the expedition alone at such a sensitive time. As Guo Jia said, Zhang Jaw's identity may cause Yuan Shao's misunderstanding. But if the first two were to stay in Donglai and let Tai Shici go to Youzhou, Cai Ji felt that he couldn't let go.

And just when Cai Ji didn't have enough manpower to pay for himself, and he didn't know who to send to Youzhou instead, Tai Shici suddenly mentioned again, "My lord, there is also General Zhongchun who is up to the task." ”

When Cai Ji heard that Taishi Cijian yì Zhang Qing was going to Youzhou, he couldn't help but blurt out exclaimed, "Brother Zhang"

However, Guo Jia echoed the case, "General Ziyi is reasonable. General Zhongchun is indeed the right person to go to Youzhou. ”

"But General Zhongchun has not led troops to the battle before." Cai Ji heard Guo Jia say the same, and subconsciously frowned.

"The lord's words are wrong, during the battle of Qingzhou, it is precisely because of General Zhongchun sitting in Donglai that we can attack Qingzhou with peace of mind. Moreover, General Zhongchun is stable and loyal, and he is the general's general, whether it is his identity or status, he is suitable for sitting in Youzhou. Guo Jia further persuaded Cai Ji.

In fact, Cai Ji also knew in his heart that it was not a big problem to lead the army north to Youzhou with Zhang Qing's ability. Moreover, she didn't plan to send elites to Youzhou from the beginning, so this time she went north not so much to fight for merit as to show weakness. After all, Donglai is just starting now, and it is not a good thing to show his combat power in front of Yuan Shao too early. And with Zhang Qing's steady and sophisticated style, it should be shown, but it should not be shown to Yuan Shao. But Rao is like this, Cai Ji is still a little resistant to sending Zhang Qing to Youzhou in his heart. Because this move will make her unconsciously think of the previous incident of sending Li Da to escort Wu Shuo.

In other words, Zhang Qing and Li Da are the first people Cai Ji met when she was reincarnated in this world, and they are also the people who saved her life, and they are also the people who gave her selfless support. But in order to establish a relationship with the Han family and make a reputation, when Cai Ji was in Yecheng, he still transferred Li Da to Wu Shuo without hesitation. As a result, Li Da is now in a dangerous situation that is difficult to get out of. Will Zhang Qing become the next Li Da? As long as Cai Ji thinks about this question, he can't make a decision.

Guo Jia saw Cai Ji bowing his head and saying nothing, although he didn't know the reason for the matter, he also realized that there was something that was bothering the girl in front of him. But seeing Guo Jia tentatively asked, "Does the lord think this matter is inappropriate?" ”

"General Fengxiao and Ziyi's mention yì is very good. It's just that the government still wants to think about it. Cai Ji, who came back to his senses, squeezed out a smile and responded.

Although Guo Jia listened to Cai Ji's tone a little stiff, he didn't force the girl to admit that something had happened. On the contrary, Guo Jia showed a gentle smile and said to Cai Ji, "Since this is the case, then the lord will think about it more, or find Wen He to discuss one or two." I won't bother with Ziyi much. ”

In fact, at this time, Tai Shici had already seen that Cai Ji was wrong, but before he could ask, Guo Jia had already glanced at him meaningfully, and then said the above words. So Tai Shici, who got Guo Jia's hint, had to follow Cai Ji and get up to say goodbye. However, after walking out of the courtyard, Tai Shici could no longer hold back the doubts in his heart and stepped forward quickly, and asked Guo Jia, "Fengxiao, it seems that the master of the study has something unspeakable before. Thou wilt not let me ask? ”

Guo Jia saw that Tai Shici was asking a question, so he couldn't help but stop, looked up at the gray sky, and said quietly, "Ziyi, as subordinates, we can certainly solve problems for the lord. However, there are some things that can only be figured out by the lord himself. ”

Let's say that Guo Jia and Tai Shici left the second hall with their own hearts, and Cai Ji sat alone in the study for a long time. Beside her was a stack of official documents written on paper, which recorded the financial situation reported by Donglai County and the seven counties of Beihai in a quarter. As paper is gradually replacing bamboo slips in Donglai and Beihai, the form of account records of the government has also evolved from the original text-only format to the form of tabular forms. Although this form is not as complex and diverse as the table 1,800 years later, it still has some rudiments of account books in the Song and Ming dynasties. In addition, in order to prevent tampering with the numbers, Cai Ji also stipulated that the figures in the accounts must be capitalized, and this rule was not implemented until the Ming Dynasty in history.

However, at this moment, Cai Ji did not have the slightest intention of looking at his hard work. Li Da's matter, and the question of whether to let Zhang Qing go to Youzhou, made her a little irritable. So after being stunned for a while, Cai Ji finally stood up and decided to put aside the official document for the time being, and first go to the lecture hall next door to take a turn and relax.

In other words, Cai Ji likes to go to the martial arts hall when he has troubles. Every time she sees the children studying and practicing martial arts, her mood will be happy. Because the children's laughter will make Cai Ji feel that she is indeed making history better, not worse. But I'm afraid that these days will not last long. Huang Zhen took advantage of last winter's leisure time not only to repair the city wall of Huang County, but also to build a large mansion outside the Taishou Mansion together with Sailuban and other craftsmen in the city. After hearing the news, the wealthy households in Huang County also spontaneously donated a lot of items to the lecture hall. Therefore, according to Huang Zhen, the lecture hall was moved to a new house after about May. The reason why Huang Zhen and the others thought of repairing this house was because the number of children enrolled in the lecture hall had expanded from the initial 100 to more than 300, with a total of ten classes. The current small courtyard of Taishou Mansion is naturally a little crowded. Second, Huang Zhen, Guo Jia and others also believe that a large and formal school is conducive to highlighting Cai Ji's image of paying attention to education, so as to improve Cai Ji's reputation in Shilin. In this era, even if it is a rigid and self-serving Gongsun Du, he invited Guan Ning and other Confucians to open a school in Liaodong. Not to mention Cao Cao, Yuan Shao, Liu Biao and others.

Therefore, Cai Ji has no objection to the relocation of the martial arts hall, but she always feels a little lost when she thinks that she will no longer be able to hear the sound of children reading loudly in the Taishou Mansion in the future. But when Cai Ji walked into the martial arts hall, the first thing she saw was not the children shaking their heads and studying, but Zhang Qingzheng's posture of teaching the children martial arts on the school field.

There were about 30 students practicing martial arts on the school field in front of him, the oldest seemed to be fifteen or sixteen years old, and the youngest should be thirteen or fourteen years old. According to the standards of the late Han Dynasty, such an age can already enter the ranks of adults at any time. Therefore, Zhang Qing taught every move and style very seriously and strictly. But even so, some of the schoolchildren still noticed Cai Ji standing at the gate.

"Lord" A young schoolboy turned to salute Cai Ji respectfully. But what he got was not Zhang Qing's praise, but an unceremonious whip.

"Continue to practice without distraction" After teaching the distracted person, Zhang Qing turned his head and instructed a burly teenager who was almost an adult behind him, "Cai Feng, you come to supervise the training"

"Whoa."

The named teenager stepped forward and urged his classmates to practice boxing with a sharp eagle-like gaze. And Zhang Qing stepped forward and hugged Cai Ji and said, "I've seen the lord." ”

Cai Ji did not blame Zhang Qing for corporal punishment of schoolchildren. This is a cruel world, and the cultivation method of greenhouse flowers is not the style of Jiangwutang. So at this moment, she just glanced at the young man opposite and sighed, "When Cai Feng was first brought to the Taishou Mansion by Brother Zhang, he still looked thin. In the blink of an eye, he has grown into such a strong young man. ”

Zhang Qing listened to Cai Ji's praise, and nodded proudly and said, "That kid has not only grown taller, his body is strong, and he is even better at martial arts." Qing planned to recruit him into the army at the end of the year. ”

"Enlisted? Ke Ji remembered that Cai Feng was only sixteen years old," Cai Ji asked in surprise.

"What does it matter if you're sixteen. I think Li Dafi will become the general of Cai's family at the beginning. Zhang Qing said casually.

Hearing Zhang Qing mention Li Da, Cai Ji suddenly felt as if his heart was blocked. Immediately after, I heard her say frankly to Zhang Qing in a dull tone, "Brother Zhang, Ji didn't pick up Zhishen this time. ”

However, Zhang Qing didn't seem to care about this, and instead laughed heartily, "I've heard about this too." Li Dana became the leader of the Imperial Forest Army, which really gave us a long face. ”

However, Zhang Qing's laughter did not infect Cai Ji, on the contrary, Cai Ji's face became more gloomy. But after seeing that she hesitated for a moment, she finally confessed to Zhang Qing, "Brother Zhang misunderstood, Zhishen originally wanted to go back to Donglai." But the government felt that the time had not come, so it still left it in Xudu. ”

Zhang Qing saw that Cai Ji's love was wrong, and couldn't help but restrain his smile, and asked puzzledly, "Lord, is this?" Since the lord felt that the kid should stay in Xudu, let him stay in Xudu. ”

"But Xu is very dangerous," Cai Ji finally couldn't help but whisper, the uneasiness that had been suppressed in his heart, "It's dangerous for Zhishen to stay there alone, but Ji just left him alone in Xu Du"

Zhang Qing listened to Cai Ji's roar as he tried his best to lower his voice, and finally understood that his little lord was entangled. So he raised his head and looked at the girl calmly and said, "My lord, the battlefield is also dangerous. Qing can guarantee that half of the children on the school field will enlist in the army at the end of the year, and they will be on the battlefield in less than a year. The main guild doesn't send them to the battlefield because of this, don't you skip words?

Zhang Qing's words hit Cai Ji's heart like a drumstick. At this time, she subconsciously set her eyes on those childish faces, imagining what they would look like on the battlefield. Cai Ji suddenly realized that he had been running away from one fact all along. Jiangwutang is not only a place for developing education and attracting talents, but also a place for cultivating henchmen. As Zhang Qing said, the children here will one day go to the battlefield, and they will become generals, staff, officials, and spies...... even died early on the battlefield, and the initiators of this qiē were. These children are being used as tools

Zhang Qing saw that Cai Ji listened to what he said, but he just stared at the children and did not speak. I knew that these things were too cruel for a girl who was only seventeen years old. But who let his little lady choose this thorny road. As the saying goes, there is no turning back from the bow, it has come to this point, and there are some things that you don't want to accept. Thinking of this, Zhang Qing sighed leisurely and said, "Lord Qing has feelings for these children. But the lord gave them food, gave them clothes, gave them the opportunity to read and write, and practiced martial arts, so they should repay the favor given by the lord. After all, if there was no lord, they would have starved to death in the corner. As for whether they can survive after they go to the battlefield, it depends on their ability. If your skills are not as good as those who die on the battlefield, you can't blame the lord, and you can only blame them for their lack of ability. It's the same with Li Da. He used to be just a small family member in Caifu, and it was precisely because of the promotion of the lord that he was able to soar to the sky. As for whether he has the ability or not, it depends on his creation. ”

In the face of Zhang Qing's bitter persuasion, Cai Ji hid his hand in his sleeve and couldn't help but clench his fist. What she Zhang Qing said is the code of conduct of this era. And the reason why she was so entangled before was because she Cai Zimei still remembered the universal principles after 1,008 years. However, it is obviously anachronistic to use the universal principles of 1,800 years later to set the times of 1,800 years ago. And as a prince in charge of a county, he should not be shaken by this. Because vacillation often means that more living beings will be destroyed. After figuring it out, Cai Ji gradually loosened his fist, and at the same time closed his gaze from the schoolchildren, and changed his title to "General Zhongchun." ”

When Zhang Qing and Cai Ji called him General Zhongchun, he would inevitably have important things to entrust. So he even cheered up and hugged his fists, "Yes." ”

"This government plans to send you to lead troops to Youzhou. Although the specific matters are still being discussed, the government hopes that you will prepare as soon as possible. Cai Ji decisively told Zhang Qing the results of the previous discussions with Guo Jia and others.

And after Zhang Qing listened to Cai Ji's arrangement, he calmly bowed down and agreed, "Huh." ”

"Well, then the mansion won't bother Brother Zhang." Cai Ji said that, turned around and left the lecture hall. And at the moment when he stepped out of the gate, Cai Ji suddenly felt that it was the right decision to move the lecture hall away from the Taishou Mansion. In this place full of ambition and strategy, there is no need for innocence to exist
