Chapter 98: Li Ru is in the fifth layer, Li Su is in the atmosphere

After Li Suzhi thought about it again and again, he felt that there was no need to modify the specific plan to frame Liu Yan for the sake of Wu Kuang, a new uncertain factor.

The reason is also very simple: after Li Su chatted with Cai Yong for a while, he learned from Cai Yong that this Wu Kuang is still very trusted by He Jin.

What does this mean? It means that Wu Kuang's non-direct relatives are a little suspicious of being with the thief, and they can't bite Wu Kuang at all - at least, when He Jin is still alive, he can't bite Wu Kuang.

Li Su is an expert negotiator, he is extremely empathetic, and he is also good at empathy.

When thinking about this question, he can easily substitute for Wu Kuang's position and figure out the other party's reaction.

The one who was hired by Liu Yan as his daughter-in-law was Wu Yi's sister, Wu Yi's father had long since died, and Wu Kuang did not have any evidence of close contact with his nephews and nieces.

Therefore, when the matter of Wu Yi's sister was stabbed in front of He Jin, Wu Kuang only cried bitterly, showed his loyalty, and said that he had nothing to do with them, and even said, "The reason why Wu Yi followed Liu Yan, who had no bad signs at that time, into Sichuan was because Wu Yi felt that Liu Yan, the uncle, was closer than his own uncle, so he defected to Liu Yan".

can even put on an envoy who is willing to give up his military power in the capital, take the initiative to ask for a transfer to a place, become a lieutenant or something, assist in counterinsurgency and attack Liu Yan, or lead troops to protect the imperial court to declare to Liu Yan to summon Liu Yan to serve in Beijing, and promote the transfer of Liu Yan back to prove his innocence.

And with He Jin's degree of nepotism and soft ears, he will definitely believe Wu Kuang. As long as Wu Kuang shows his loyalty like this, he will not really remove Wu Kuang's position of leading the soldiers and horses in the capital.

But! Li Su knew in his heart that He Jin would not live long.

As long as Wu Kuang has this suspected handle, He Jin can help him suppress it when he is alive, and he will not ask Wu Kuang to deal with Liu Yan. Then, Wu Kuang will be left with a time bomb, a hidden danger that will explode at any time.

In the future, when Dong Zhuo wants to annex He Jin's old department, what will he do? After Dong Zhuo ascended to the throne, when the situation was still unclear, would he change his recruitment to surrender Wu Kuang, frame and directly deprive Wu Kuang of his military power in the center of the capital?

When Wu Kuang and Zhang Zhang attacked and killed He Miao, they even said that Wu Kuang had a criminal record of collusion with Liu Yan some time earlier.

At the time when He Jin and the eunuchs died together, and the emperor had just been robbed and rescued, Wu Kuang could definitely be taken down by looking over the old accounts.

Li Su didn't know if Dong Zhuo would do this.

He could only say that if Li Ru had half of his Li Su's IQ, he would definitely think of this trick to play, after all, he Li Su thought of it in two seconds.

After Li Ru also thought of it, Li Su naturally had other ways to persuade Wu Kuang to give up his glory and wealth to protect his life and retreat bravely, and take some benefits with him before leaving the capital by the way.

And Dong Zhuo will definitely turn a blind eye in order to get away those people in the capital who are not with him as soon as possible......

When the time comes, the bureau of the capital,

He Jin is on the first floor, Zhang Rang is on the second floor, Yuan Shao is on the third floor, Yuan Kui is on the fourth floor, and Li Ru is on the fifth floor......

He Li Su in the atmosphere.

Isn't it beautiful?

Historically, when Yuan Shu left Beijing, he took advantage of his status as a general to take away a group of elite soldiers and horses in the capital, and also took a large number of materials from the imperial court arsenal. But in order to calm things down, control the situation in the capital as soon as possible, and drive away some people who might be in the way, Dong Zhuo turned a blind eye to Yuan Shu's actions.

If Li Su did the same, maybe he would be able to rescue more things from the capital that should have been burned by Dong Zhuo.

It was decided that all the evidence would be presented as usual, but we must keep the fair image of "the right thing and not the right person", don't instigate wearing small shoes in private, and even pretend to help Wu Kuang say a few fair words in an appropriate way after presenting the evidence.

lest when He Jin is still alive now, he will be disgusted and Wu Kuang will be hostile.

Li Su told Cai Yong about his preliminary plan, all the parts that have something to do with Cai Yong and need Cai Yong's cooperation to implement, and also take care of him not to be afraid of implicating Wu Kuang, as long as he acts impartially and does not speak ill of people in private.

Cai Yong pondered for a while, after all, he was also very politically sensitive, and immediately knew what to do, so he left Li Suxian to live in his mansion for two days, so that he could find time to forge all the letters of Zhang Lu that should be copied according to Zhang Lu's font.

Then he returned the original and forged documents to Li Su, and instructed him to secretly leave the capital first and return to Luyang County in Nanyang County (the county closest to Sili in the north of Nanyang) to pretend to be sick and other news, and Weng and his son-in-law were ready to put on a good show.

Cai Yan didn't know what her fiancΓ© and father were talking about, she didn't dare to ask, and she didn't dare to be too close to Li Su in just two days, and finally watched Li Su leave again very sensibly, and didn't dare to reveal any flaws in front of people that "Li Su had been here", and she was very depressed in her heart.

……

After Li Su returned to Luyang, Dian Wei, who was stationed with his troops, originally thought that he could set off, but he learned that Li Su had to continue to pretend to be sick, and he was quite depressed for a while.

He really couldn't figure out how those literati had so many twists and turns.

But since you have to continue to rest, let's rest.

Li Su estimated that he would have to pretend to be sick for half a month, and wait for Cai Yong to get the appointment of "Bajun Taishou", and he didn't want to waste time in this half month, so he stayed in Luyang to write his "Qi Min Technique" first.

Li Su had never been a farmer or farmed land in his previous life, so it was definitely impossible to write down the details. I can't write many words during the half-month pretending illness period, so I just write an outline while I'm free.

For example, how many species should be involved, "at present, the people are still mainly wild picking, but artificial planting and breeding can be developed in the future", and these things can be planted and raised in what land and environment. As for how to plant and raise, I have to go back and let the old farmers practice, and when it is really planted, he will let people record it.

Moreover, his book is not all for the common people, and it will be printed in several volumes at that time, and the upper volume is for Liu Bei and other generals of his own camp, and even future local administrators.

The content of this first volume is not how to cultivate the land specifically, but to unify the thinking of Shu officials, so that they can understand why they should pay attention to the importance of these cash crops that have not been cultivated on a large scale before, so as to organize and reward the people to go to China.

After the preliminary collation, Li Su emphasized the importance of large-scale cultivation of wild tea and peppercorns in the book.

For example, it is pointed out that tea can balance nutrition for long-term meat-eating soldiers, prevent certain diseases, and have other medicinal effects and economic effects of health preservation, as well as a certain hobby inertia and so on.

And why is it necessary to balance nutrition for soldiers who have been "meat-hungry for a long time"? This is to mention the interlocking pepper industry that is planned to be developed in the future.

Li Su also combined the transportation difficulties and transportation losses in the mountainous areas of Shudi, so it was necessary to prepare more food that was convenient for long-term storage and had a relatively high energy density as military food, so that the proportion of transportation losses would become smaller.

To take the simplest example, for example, the energy density of a piece of jerky is about three or four times that of the same weight of rice noodles. Take the Shu Road from Chengdu to transport four Hu rice, originally on the road to eat three Hu, only one Hu transported to Hanzhong. Starting from Hanzhong, Sihu has to eat three-quarters to reach Chang'an. Then it was necessary to grow fifteen times as much grain from Chengdu before it could be transported to Chang'an, no wonder the Northern Expedition was so difficult.

But what if you replace rice with meat? Transporting four Hu meat, according to the meat is more than three times the amount of rice is full, as long as you eat one Hu on the way to the four Hu dried meat, the remaining three Hu can be transported to Hanzhong, so the efficiency of the stacking is very terrible.

But Zhuge Liang couldn't do this in history, the key was that there was not so much meat, and Shu didn't have so much salt to marinate jerky on such a large scale.

If Sichuan pepper is cultivated on a large scale, the situation is different. All spices have a preservative effect, a large number of peppercorns with a small amount of salt to make pepper salt, pickled preservative jerky is much better than the current pure salt, and the comprehensive cost of marinade is also more economical.

And salting with peppers has the added benefit of salting with peppers over salting with pure salt, that is, it can mask odors. The pork of the Han Dynasty was so unpalatable, the smell was too strong, and it was very difficult to make dried meat as a military ration, but the situation was different with the taste of salt and pepper.

In addition, according to Li Su's observation, even if the current farmers are so poor and do not let go of a little meat to eat, the utilization rate of livestock offal is still very low.

Although it is not as exaggerated as those costume dramas with a halo of mentally retarded, and they don't eat any internal organs, at least the stomach and waist do not eat. No matter how poor the people are, the internal organs of pigs, cattle and sheep that can be used are the heart and liver, plus a small amount of belly (ruminants have several stomachs, and people in the late Han Dynasty will only eat some of them that are not too dirty)

With enough peppercorns to suppress the smell, these offal will be transformed into good things that not only improve the nutrition of soldiers, but also treat night blindness.

In the same way as Sichuan pepper, there is also Indian pepper that has been introduced to Shu through the Shu body poison channel in the Han Dynasty.

In addition, taro, sugar cane, boiled sugar, and grass carp are artificially cultivated in swampy areas...... Wait, Li Su through observation, can think of the shortcomings that can be made up, taking advantage of his leisure, Li Su spent a few days to write down the value of these strategic materials, all the clear.

Pretending to be sick until late July, Li Su finally got a close servant of Cai Yong's family one evening, and rode a horse to Luyang overnight to report.

Li Su knew that this was Cai Yong, who had been pretended to be appointed by He Jin as the Taishou of Bajun.

"Enter Beijing immediately! Taking advantage of the fact that He Jin has not yet 'stayed in the middle and reassigned', he reported to His Majesty that Shu Dao had been completely reopened! Bajun Taishou can also take office normally! ”

Li Su commanded in a high-spirited manner, and hundreds of elite soldiers immediately went north to enter Sili.

The armed forces of several hundred people, as long as they do not enter Luoyang City, it is still okay to only enter the Sili area, the key is that Li Su has a good reason, he came all the way from Yizhou, and there must be protection along the way.

After passing the Yique Pass, Li Su parked his men and horses on the bank of the Huanshui River on the outskirts of Luoyang, and only took Zhao Yundianwei dozens of people to officially play the Fu Festival and report the victory with great fanfare.

The general He Jin soon got the news, and at that time he was discussing national affairs with his henchman Wang Yun, Shaofu, who had just been promoted for only a few months.

"General! The envoy of Zhenxi General Liu Bei has entered Beijing, which is good news! Zhang Lu has been beheaded, and Zhang Lu's remnants have been completely pacified. And Zhang Lu fled into Brazil before his death to collude with Ban Yuman, and General Zhenxi chased and killed all the way and eliminated Zhang Lu and the rebellious Ban Yuman! ”

"Liu Bei broke the thief so quickly? Congratulations. When He Jin heard this, he couldn't help but feel happy.

Only Wang Yun beside him was slightly startled, and a scroll in his hand almost fell on the table, he reminded:

"General, it seems that Cai Shangshu was transferred to Bajun Taishou five days ago, and then stayed in the middle of the matter, there will be twists and turns. Shu Dao is completely restored, and Bajun Taishou can take office, how can he find an excuse to change Cai Yong to serve in the middle of the service? ”

He Jin is on the rise, how can he care about Cai Yong, he waved his hand casually and ordered: "Waste Xing, what are you talking about now?" It's a big deal, and it doesn't hurt to let Cai Yong go to be the Taishou of Bajun for a year and a half. Zhang Lu and Ban Yuman were both destroyed, this is a great joy. Hurry up and summon the envoy and report the military exploits carefully! ”
