Fa Zheng's words shook Liu Shi's heart, he didn't think about these things, Li Ru, Lu Su, and Huangfu Li also said the same thing as him, but he didn't expect that this young man standing in front of him also had such insight, which shows that the ministers of the DPRK and China will also have the same thoughts about themselves.

Is this possible? According to Lu Su's words, this kind of thing, others can directly send troops to attack Li Xuan, but he can't. is also a clan relative, there is no secret recruitment of the Son of Heaven, and supporting troops into Beijing is a rebellion, which will be criticized by all the princes and the people of the world. What's even more terrifying is that once Li is forced to kill the Son of Heaven, it will be a great crime, and Nanyang's current strength is extremely unbearable.

In addition to being shocked, Liu Shi was secretly happy in his heart and intended to test him.

smiled: "What should this Hou Ye do now?" I don't know what good advice Xiaozhi has. ”

Fa Zheng rearranged his clothes and arched his hands: "I am ignorant, but I have read history books extensively since I was a child and studied the art of war. It is believed that the Hou Ye should accumulate strength, do good deeds, and leave a name of loyalty and kindness among the Son of Heaven and the ministers of the court, once Chang'an is in turmoil, the Son of Heaven will secretly recruit the Hou Ye to escort and eliminate the traitors. At that time, the Hou Ye will recruit wise people, collect brave generals, and sweep through the universe with the edict of the Son of Heaven, eliminate the traitors and rebels, return to the emperor in the court, and return the people to peace, then the matter will be completed. ”

"So you proposed to give soup porridge for disaster relief is to win a good name, pay tribute to the court, and win a loyal name?" Liu Shi said with a smile.

Fa Zheng smiled shyly, "It's a clumsy plan." ”

Liu Shi sighed and said: "It's a pity that Nanyang is also a famine year, in order to reduce the cost of soldiers, I have to reduce the number of troops in Tuntian." In the land of the four battles in Nanyang, only 30,000 soldiers were a last resort. Where did you find a lot of grain and grass to supply the court? ”

Fa Zhengdao: "Although Li Xuan and Guo Yan are in charge of the government but do not do agricultural affairs, since Dong Table entered Chang'an, nearly a million people moved west to the land of Sanfu, although they fled halfway and starved to death, plus the original people of Sanfu, there are always nearly one million people. With the breadth of the customs and making good use of it, it may not be impossible to achieve great things. However, the tribute in various parts of the Han Dynasty was cut off, and Dong Table would only loot the people's wealth and levy miscellaneous taxes. In two years, he fled to 30%. In addition, Wang Yun was ignorant and led Li Guo to attack the city, and when the war started, the people fled a lot, and there were successive droughts, locusts were raging, food was greatly reduced, and many people died of starvation. As a result, there are now less than 300,000 people in Sanfu. Among them, there were at least 100,000 soldiers, ministers of the court, and palace maids. In this way, how can Chang'an last, and it is not far from life change. ”

Liu Shi asked with a solemn expression, "How is it in Chang'an City now?" ”

Fa Zhengdao: "Li Xuan and Guo Yan are not strict in leading the troops, and often plunder the people, and the Son of Heaven and the minister dare not speak out. Looking at this, Li Xuan and Guo Yan are afraid that it will be difficult to die well. ”

"Oh" Liu Shiqi said: "According to what you said, Chang'an City is not peaceful?" ”

Fa Zhengdao: "According to my previous visit to Chang'an, I learned that although Li and Guo controlled the government, there was also serious infighting in the Xiliang army. In this way, it will be used by the minister, and the mistakes of Dong Table will be repeated. ”

Liu Shi said with a smile: "If this is the case, Xiaozhi is willing to be engaged in the military of General Annan's Mansion, assist Zilong in garrisoning the Hou Mansion, and watch Chang'an." Nowadays, although there are only 300 soldiers in the Hou Mansion, there are 2,000 villagers in the fief for training, and there are 1,000 soldiers in the Muhuguan and 300 soldiers in Lantian County, and nearly 1,000 caravans are often outside to be called. Are you sure to seize the opportunity to save the Son of Heaven? ”

Fa Zheng said excitedly: "I am visiting the lord, and I dare not do my best to do things for the Hou Ye?" What Hou Ye said, I will keep in my heart, when the opportunity comes, I will not spare my life.

Liu Shi said solemnly: "The major affairs of the country of soldiers, the place of death and life." As a general, use soldiers wisely, and do not fight hard unless you have to, which needs to be remembered. ”

Fa Zhengdao: "If it is not a place of execution, it will not be hard, and if you say that the leader of the dragon is calm, it will never allow us to be hard." ”

After hearing this, Liu Shi said: "In this way, when we pay more attention to Chang'an, and if necessary, withdraw all the merchant guards, and when we can save the Son of Heaven, we should not give in, and when we know that we can't do anything, we must retreat to protect ourselves." If necessary, it can lead to Shangluo and Nanyang. ”

Fa Zheng said: "Thank you Lord Hou for your compassion, you are not a person who cowers, you will do your best." It's just that Li and Guo have a lot of troops, and we must also prepare early. The two thousand villagers of the Hou Mansion can't be used all, and the intensity of training is not enough. Nowadays, there are many displaced people, as long as they can give a bite of food, there is no need to levy. Can Hou Ye recruit a little more government soldiers and expand the township. After strict training, it can be used urgently, plus the Lantian County soldiers and the guards of the Wuguan may really be able to seize the first-line opportunity, and then the Hou Ye will lead the Nanyang elite soldiers to help, and it may not be impossible to sweep away the rebels in one fell swoop. ”

Liu Shi shook his head and said: "Absolutely not, the number of government soldiers will increase to five hundred at most, and any more will give people the suspicion of plotting against each other." The same is true for Xiangyong, the first emperor sealed 3,000 households, which is more than criticized. ”

He paused and said, "However, I can transfer a thousand of the elite camps of Nanyang to exchange guards with the guards of the Pastoral Guard." ”

Fa Zheng said: "That's the only way, I will try my best to assist the leader of the sub-dragon." ”

Liu Shi said with a smile: "Then Chang'an will entrust this aspect to Xiaozhi." ”

Then he glanced at Meng Da and said, "Zidu will stay by Zilong's side, and he will be rewarded for his merits." ”

I went to Zilong again to mention the matter of Chang'an to Zilong.

Zhao Yundao: "The people in the border area are the best at riding and fighting, can the lord buy a number of good horses and establish a light horse to give first aid when something happens in Chang'an?" ”

Liu Shi sighed: "Nowadays, money is used everywhere, thanks to Zihe and exhausting all means to support, which is why although Nanyang is short of grain, Zihe still transports grain into Chang'an to sell, but it is just to raise money to solve the Hou Mansion and Nanyang's consumption, otherwise how can it be supported?" If you don't stretch out your hand to the people, you have to reduce taxes and give food and porridge to the people, all of which cost money! Less than a year after taking over Nanyang, it has received nearly 300,000 displaced people, all of whom need food and clothing, and they are all penniless, and it is indeed not easy to rely on government relief. ”

Zhao Yun said: "It's Lord Hou's kindness!" ”

Liu Shi looked at Zhao Yun: "But what you said is also reasonable, once there is a change, the foot soldiers will not be able to gallop." It's just that too many light horses in the palace will attract the attention of the court, and once the requisition is requisitioned, it cannot be refused. In this way, I requisitioned a hundred light horsemen from Nanyang to stay in the Hou Mansion. Another 1,000 stationed in Shangluo, when you have something, you can go to the emperor Fu Li, let him take a light horse to help, although a little slower, it is better than rushing from Nanyang. ”

After talking about the affairs of Chang'an, accompanied by Zilong and Liu Hu, he went to check on the fiefdom.

After several years of operation, the former wasteland is now full of fertile land, densely populated, although life is difficult, there is no way to encounter locusts in the year of the great drought, and the Hou Mansion is also thinking of tax reduction and relief. I saw that many people around the Hou Mansion came to accept the soup soup from the Hou Mansion, and they were connected outside the fiefdom. Liu Shi shook his head.

I checked the fiefdom for three days in a row.

On this day, I just came back from outside, came to the other courtyard, and asked the maid in the courtyard, and the maidservant said, "The master mother and Aunt Chi Shao are talking in the courtyard. Does Master Hou need the slave to report? ”

Liu Shi waved his hand and said, "No! You go and do your own work, and I'll go find it. ”

After speaking, he walked in, and heard that Chi Shao was also inside, so Liu Shi abducted the soup pool, took off his clothes outside and went inside, who knew that as soon as he walked in, he saw two people quickly dodging.

Liu Shi was taken aback! Urgently: "Who! Hold it! You're not welcome to walk Liu Shi. ”

As soon as the words fell, the two of them hurriedly stood still, bent over with their backs bent, and their bodies kept shaking.

Liu Shi was curious in his heart, and said secretly: "That servant girl who doesn't know the rules dares to use her master's things indiscriminately. ”

He walked over and shouted, "Who are you, look up!" ”

The two of them trembled all over their bodies, and they were here, only to hear the outer courtyard shouting: "Is the husband back?" Why is it angry? ”

In an instant, he suddenly said: "Husband! You---- you're in Tang Chi! Sister Ji and Sister Bai Shao are bathing inside, why did you run in? ”

After speaking, he hurriedly ran into Tang Chi, Chi Shao listened to it and followed, and saw Liu Shi naked, standing in front of the two women, and was lecturing, Chi Shao shouted: "Senior brother, you are indecent!" After saying that, he ran out.

Liu Shi looked down, and sure enough, he was naked, his face was agitated, and he was even more surprised when he heard that the two people in front of him were Bai Shao and Cai Ji. Hurriedly ran out of the room, put on clothes, and left.

Mi Zhu glanced at him, then at Cai Ji and Bai Shao, and suddenly smiled!
