Chapter 305 Three Counties
"I'm not as good as Yuanshi......"
Chen Xiaoyi paid his respects in front of Wang Rengong's tomb again and again, allowing Li Po to see for a while how literati mourn their deceased friends.
Chen Xiaoyi chanted a sacrificial text loudly and burned it in front of Wang Rengong's tomb, only then did he hide his face and cry a few times, and then thank Li Po for burying his friends.
At the gate of the cemetery, Chen Taishou, who had not been immersed in the grief of losing his friend, looked at the tombs full of mountains and sighed.
I don't know whether to lament Wang Rengong's achievements in this life, or to lament his personality charm that can make so many people die.
Of course, to Li Po's ears, these are all words that are appropriate to the situation, and sincerity is not where it goes.
And after such a process, Li Po has a lot of impatience.
"The dead are gone, how difficult it is for the living, Taishou should mourn, and ...... Taishou came to Mayi in person, in addition to doing his best as a friend, I'm afraid there are other intentions, right? ”
The biggest difference between Chen Xiaoyi and Wang Rengong is that this person is full of energy, all the way away, and through the pain of losing friends, but he doesn't show much tiredness.
After hearing this, maybe he felt that Li Po couldn't hold his breath, he glanced at Li Po, and looked a little dissatisfied, but he was still very simple, and then said solemnly: "The old man has sent a letter to Lou Fu, please Lin Taishou go to Ma Yi to discuss state affairs......
Hearing this, Li Po immediately raised his eyebrows, full of suspicion.
What should the three border counties do when they gather in one place? Do you want to dig up Li Yuan's lair?
"Taishou means ......"
Chen Xiaoyi seemed to know what Li Po was thinking, and then said, "General Li doesn't have to worry too much...... The general led the troops and repeatedly rejected the Turks. Great achievement...... The old man got the letter from the king's brother, and he was also thoughtful. ”
"Hmm. The old man just wants to ask now, Li Yuan led the troops south. His heart is unpredictable, what is General Li's plan? ”
Li Po immediately said in his heart, sure enough, this is the rhythm of trying to copy Li Yuan's back road, this thief ship is not very easy to get on, go and give Li Yuan a look, it's nothing, but Jinyang City is high and deep, and the people and horses of the three counties are added to one place. It is estimated that it will also be under Jinyang Jiancheng and break the blood flow.
Moreover, there is nothing wrong with the Li family being the emperor, at least it is much stronger than Yang Guang, besides, there are so many anti-kings in the world, and there is really no one who is pleasing to the eye.
As for them, the coalition forces attacked Jinyang. And then the possibility of sweeping the world, his mother's difficulty is not much different from picking the moon in the sky.
If it's such a bad idea, no matter what happens to the other two, he, Li Po, will be insensitive to him. The teammates are too ineffective, and they may become pig teammates at any time, and such a broken boat can't be boarded.
Li Po laughed. Those who know him well know that he is not in a good mood right now.
Taishou laughed. Tang Gong led his troops south, where did the so-called come from. It has nothing to do with me, I have been through many wars, and I need to recuperate in case of the Turks, and as for the rest, I don't want to worry too much. ”
One sentence silenced Chen Xiaoyi.
The two of them stopped at the entrance of the cemetery, standing silently, looking quite awkward.
After a long time, the corners of Chen Xiaoyi's mouth hooked, and he showed a smile for the first time, and said: "What the old man wants is actually the general's sentence, such as today's chaos, the emperor is a little, and the king is geometric, it can be said that the heroes rise together, chasing the mountains and rivers." ”
Speaking of this, the contempt in his expression was no longer hidden, but the words changed, "Yanmen County originally had 670,000 people, but now there are only 100,000 left. ”
"According to the old man, now my three counties should be combined into one, gather troops to guard the border, the general may not know, before Jinyang ordered Liu Wenjing to lead troops to help, this person is proficient in Tao strategy, strict management of the army, originally the old man has a lot of hopes, but ......"
Chen Xiaoyi smiled, "However, they have other ambitions, and they are unwilling to lose troops to resist the Turks, a few days ago, they led their troops south, and now they are all over the three counties, and there is only one general, who is good at using ......soldiers."
"Alas, the old man is cheeky to come here, I really want to ask the general to have mercy on the border people of my three counties, and he can take the lead of my army and people to fight against the Turks in the north, but I don't know what the general wants?"
This is the second person Li Po has seen, who has feelings of worrying about the country and the people.
Of course, no matter how good it is, it can't be done accurately, and it needs to be carefully observed, maybe this person was forced by Jinyang to have no choice, so he came up with such an idea.
Li Po doesn't have such noble sentiments, but he really deserves it.
If this happens, the room for strategic buffer will be very large, and if the Turks want to go south, there will be a lot more choices in the means of attack.
But he was still very cunning, and said after a long time: "This matter does not lie with me, but with the two Taishou, right?" ”
Chen Xiaoyi twitched the corners of his mouth, and said in his heart, I have been open and honest to this point, you are still so slippery, and I don't know if this choice is right.
So he continued to increase the size and said: "The old man's intention has been extinct, and Lin Taishou is a disciple of the Pei family...... is a little stubborn, if he doesn't care about the overall situation, what does it matter if the old man beheads the general? ”
Li Po smiled and nodded, "Then it depends on whether Lin Taishou comes or not." ”
The old and the young looked at each other and smiled, which can be regarded as a preliminary tacit understanding.
Chen Xiaoyi smiled very delicately, because he knew that the descendant of the Xiongnu with the blood of Lin Hu would definitely come, because he told people that Wang Rengong was seriously ill, and in order to avoid the Turkic soldiers, he had the intention of moving the people of Mayi to the south.
That Lin Taishou must go this way, since he climbed the Pei family, he has a very close relationship with Jinyang, and there is more grain and grass than the other two counties, so what Lou Fu needs is nothing else, what he needs most is the population.
If the people of Mayi lured him and Lin Taishou was not moved, he also attached a message that Wang Rengong had a Xiongnu treasure related to Lin Hu in his hand, and he would persuade Wang Rengong to hand it over to Lin Taishou, asking Lin Taishou to introduce Pei.
These baits are easy to come by, and they are not difficult, which clearly shows the difference between him and Wang Rengong, he is from Hedong, but he is not an isolated old man Wang.
Li Po's smile was also very subtle, now it seems. This is purely an act of everyone huddling together to keep warm, if it can really support the military and civilians of the three counties. Damn, maybe you can really covet Jinyang.
And with Jinyang as a backing. The situation in the north is completely different, and in a year or two, maybe the border areas in the north of the Jin land will be able to ease up.
Otherwise, ambition has always been based on strength, and how much power there is in your hands, by the way, ambition will come.
Especially a pragmatic guy like Li Po, even more so.
In fact, this is also one of the sequelae of Li Yuan leading his troops south, without the deterrence of the Jinyang army. These people in the north really don't take Jinyang very seriously.
Of course, the most practical problems remain unsolved.
Even if it goes well at this time, food is still the first problem to be solved in these three counties, and when the time comes, Li Po will be needed to be the first bird.
The change in the situation made Li Po feel overwhelmed.
On the way back to the city, talk to Chen Xiaoyi.
Chen Xiaoyi is completely different from the rumors, and his words are quite interesting. When it came to difficulties, they didn't say how to solve them, but told Li Po directly.
The granary of Fenyang Palace is already empty, and there is not much grain left in Jinyang. That means to make you understand that it is useless to lay down Jinyang, and there is still a shortage of food. Unless you are ruthless and copy all the big households in Jindi. Otherwise, let's find another way.
And he also told Li Po. The drought in Yanmen is even more serious than that in Mayi, and although this year has only made a start, the spring ploughing will definitely not be completed, and the harvest will be expected.
This is not to say that the drought in Yanmen is really heavier than that in Mayi, but that the mixed industrial structure of agriculture and animal husbandry in Yanmen has caused it to be more dependent on the time of day.
In fact, this also strengthened Li Po's mind to implement material control in Mayi and even Yanmen.
Forcibly keep prices down first, and then the soldiers will inevitably become the protagonists of the borderlands, and they are not constrained by them.
In fact, this can also be regarded as one of the problems left by this Chen Taishou to Li Po, if it is solved, everything will be done, and if it is not solved well, everything will be stopped.
Li Po is also scolding his mother in his heart at this time, he has returned to the south from the great cause for six years, and now six or seven years have passed, and he is competing with food every year, and he is really nostalgic for the years when the materials were extremely rich.
You say these days, why is it so hard to feed everyone?
Li Po stayed in Mayi for many days, during which Bu Qun and Wei Chikai led 2,000 soldiers and horses to Mayi City, and Wei Chikai's infantry will become the new defenders of Mayi.
Seeing the women's army in a city, Wei Chikai and Bu Qun also smiled, and that strong sense of superiority lingered.
Lin Tai stayed late, and the pomp was not small.
He brought with him five hundred soldiers.
After this person was in the Yin World, he took over the post of Lou Fu Taishou with Lou Fu Juncheng, Emperor Yang Guang tossed up, turned around and left, leaving a piece of chicken feathers, this one is actually a job to clean up the mess.
He is different from Chen Xiaoyi and Wang Rengong, and he has no connections in Dongdu, and he can't talk about hindering Taiyuan from staying behind or anything.
It's just because he was in the right time, and because the Yin World Master appreciated him, he took over Lou Fu Taishou.
At the beginning, it was naturally too anxious, and even the Western Turks couldn't take care of it, which shows how embarrassing the situation was at that time.
But when Li Yuan gained a firm foothold, he came up at the right time, and took the path of the Pei family, with the support of Jinyang, and then he was more relaxed.
This Hun is almost sinicized, wearing an official uniform, and when he greeted Chen Xiaoyi and Li Po, he was also a little arrogant.
Obviously, I can't look down on these two guys who have no sect, no faction, and no support, and they can come to Mayi in person, which is condescending.
(Monthly pass, monthly pass, not in the state today, not satisfied with the writing, but you can't break the update, just send it, by the way, someone may want to talk about the problem of hegemony, Ah Cao's idea is probably there, but Ah Cao can't spoil it, that's not interesting.)
Besides, Ah Cao is also a little confused, the people around him are very proud when they talk about the great cause of the Han and Tang Dynasties, but how can the readers of the online article hate Li Yuan and Li Shimin so much? Li Er and Li Er shouted, especially contemptuous, a king like Li Shimin can't be respected by everyone, so who else can be a hero in Chinese history?
On the contrary, it was Emperor Yang Guang of the Sui Dynasty, and there were many people who sympathized with him, saying that he was a great king, and Ah Cao was really confused, what is wrong with this world.
Of course, Ah Cao, as the author, would have killed it if he had to arrange the plot reasonably, but Ah Cao really didn't understand, why was Li Shimin so suspicious?
Before, an author told Ah Cao that it was best not to write about the end of the Sui Dynasty, because it was difficult for Li Shimin to arrange, and Ah Cao still didn't believe it, but Ah Cao really believed it now...... (To be continued.) )
