164th Messenger Liu An 4
"Liu An, who is the person who was robbed by Sima Yi in the middle of the road, and what ability does he have to make your son-in-law value him so much? Didn't your son-in-law think about using any tricks or means to get people back from Lu Bu's army? Also, how many talented people has your son-in-law recruited so far? Xu Shu asked.
Xu Shu has been very curious since he was recruited to Xuzhou by Liu Bei, what kind of person is he can know when he is completely unknown, and the other party actually thought of going with him this time, he also knows that the captives work for himself or his lord, what is even more curious is that this kid who has never met can include him in the list of military advisors, so how much ability does he have?
Whether a person has the ability to become a prince of a party, in addition to his personal ability and wisdom, depends on his ability to identify talents and recruit talents.
If Xun Yu set up his own door, he may not be worse than Cao Cao. Several important advisers under Cao Cao were recommended by Xun Yu, and they were Xun Yu's fellow villagers or relatives. For example: Xi Zhicai, Guo Jia, Xun You and Zhong Xuan, who died of illness at a young age, and so on.
"This? That person seems to be called Yang Pei, and before that he was just a county magistrate of a small county under the jurisdiction of Luoyang County. What kind of ability it has, the villain really doesn't know. At that time, someone asked Gongzi if there was a way to get people back, but Gongzi shook his head and said that Sima Yi's move would either harm Yang Pei, or in less than three months, he would automatically send people back to Luoyang County.
As for my son-in-law's subordinates, there are, but most of them are son-in-law's fellow villagers, for example, the Fifth Inspector and his righteous son Yan Xiang, the former Liangzhou Thorn Shi Weiduan and his two sons, and one is Fu Gan, who is as famous as Xu Junshi. Liu An answered the questions asked by Xu Shu one by one.
When everyone heard this, they all nodded, it was not easy, so far, Jin Jue's strength was still too weak, and it was really not easy to have so many helpers.
"Liu An, isn't your son the Taishou of Wudu County, he didn't send troops this summer to attack Wudu County, and what is his next plan?" Lu Su wiped the long beard under his chin and then asked.
"Lu Junshi, the troops have been dispatched, if it weren't for the limited grain and grass in my son-in-law's hands, the entire Wudu County would have been taken down a long time ago. Even so, my son-in-law has already controlled four of the seven counties of the entire Wudu County, and the five Di people in Xiaban County have also submitted to my son-in-law. As for the next plan, of course, it is to take Hanzhong Zhang Lu first, and then take the entire Yizhou. Well, my son-in-law said that by this time next year, we will be able to spend the winter in Hanzhong County. When Liu An replied, his eyes drifted to the direction of Hanzhong in the southeast, and he was a little homesick, although there were no relatives of his there.
"Shhh When Lu Su heard this, he gasped, in such a short period of time, he was able to take down so many four counties under the jurisdiction of Wudu County, which had been occupied and controlled by the Di people, his ability was really not to be underestimated! If this kid had been born a few years earlier, Liu Zhang might not have been able to inherit his father Liu Yan and sit firmly in the position of Yizhou Thorn History.
"Alas! Food is always a big problem! Wang Xiu couldn't help but sigh.
Since the great locust plague in the first year of Xingping, the entire Han Dynasty under the rule of all the princes north of the Yangtze River has been plagued by the problem of food shortage. Cao Cao's subordinate Ren Jun suggested that if it wasn't for Lu Bu's destruction, it would be able to achieve initial results next year.
It's no wonder that Wang Xiu sighed so much.
"By the way, Liu Yuanjun, my son-in-law once said that there seem to be locusts in May next year, please pay more attention." As soon as Wang Xiu mentioned food, Liu An suddenly thought of one thing he had just mentioned, and he didn't think about it, so he said it on the spot.
At the beginning, when Liu An heard these words, he thought more about disbelief, although Jin Jue was smart, he was not an immortal, how could he expect this kind of thing? But after following Jin Jue for a long time, he began to be superstitious about his son-in-law again. Even his own was unaware of this.
Jin Jue didn't guess this news, but he happened to have seen the relevant historical records in later generations. Among the twenty-four histories, in addition to the Three Kingdoms, there are aspirations. Later generations compiled the Eight Chronicles of the Continuation of the Han Book written by Sima Biao into the Book of the Later Han Dynasty written by Fan Ye, among them, the Five Elements Chronicles contain a record of the locust plague during the reign of Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty.
However, there are only two records for this one.
The first is that in the summer of the first year of Emperor Xingping of the Han Dynasty, the locust was in turmoil.
The next day, in May of the second year of Jian'an, locusts.
Fortunately, there are only these two, so that Jin Jue, who does not have super memory ability, can also imprint them in his memory.
From these two records of locust plagues, two points can be analyzed.
First, the locust plague in the second year of Jian'an was one big word less than the one in the first year of Xingping, which shows that the scale and scope of this locust plague are far less than the first.
Second, the Central Plains region where Cao Cao was located, as well as Bingzhou, must have been affected by the locust plague. Because it was Sima Biao who recorded this locust plague, and he was able to learn about this locust plague, it was also found from the relevant records of the Wei State.
As for whether Xuzhou will be affected, Jin Jue really can't predict it.
Unlike other historical books, the Continuation of the Han Dynasty did not write in the successive dynasties, and Sima Biao was a member of the royal family of the Western Jin Dynasty, not Wei Shu and Wu, so this record may not be very accurate.
Therefore, about the locust plague, it was only when Jin Jue was chatting with a few uncles and brothers about his daily affairs, and he talked about it inadvertently. Unexpectedly, I don't know who was present was summoned outside, so that Liu An knew about it.
The locust plague has little to do with Luoyang County and Wudu County, because generally locust plagues rarely affect counties that are very close to the mountains.
Whether this news is true or false, it has little or no impact on Jin Jue's army, or it has no impact at all, but it has a very great impact on the princes of the states north of the Yangtze River. It can even decide the fate of these princes in the next few years, so this news is not unimportant.
"Alas, Zijing, Yuanzhi, Shuzhi, if there is really a locust plague next year, do you have any way to prevent or eliminate the impact of the locust plague?" As soon as Liu Bei heard this 'bad' news, he also understood the joints and key points very well, and he asked very worriedly.
Liu Bei asked about all capable ministers and smart people, but the ancient people only exterminated locusts by one word - 'extermination'.
