Section 11 Talk all night

That night, neither I nor I were sleepy, so we lit torches and talked all night, and Tian Chou also sat beside him with sleepy eyes.

Remembering that there was a famous sentence in the past - "Pity the night in the middle of the empty seat, don't ask the common people to ask the ghosts and gods", I think that my conversation with Fu Zhu should not involve topics that should not be touched, so that future generations will laugh at it. Therefore, I first asked, "What do you think about the current situation?" ”

In a firm tone, he said, "The chaos is coming soon. ”

I nodded, but I didn't intend to ask him why he had this opinion, and smart people have reached this consensus these years, and if I asked the reason, wouldn't he be underestimated.

In the opinion of the lord, where will the chaos come from? ”

I pondered for a moment and asked, "In my opinion, where did the chaos come from?" ”

He said categorically: "It must be between the rivers, along the Yellow River." ”

Oh, this judgment is similar to history, but in his time, how could he know that it was the agrarian culture that caused every great turmoil to start in the Yellow River? It really surprised me, I just know through history how he judged.

I immediately asked, "How did the frustrated man know?" ”

Frustrated gave a salute first, saying: "Give the word 'Zizheng', the lord will call me 'Zizheng' in the future, and the title of the frustrated prince will not dare to be awarded." ”

I nodded yes, and then asked, "Zi Zheng first, tell me how you judged that the chaos originated in the Yellow River Valley." ”

Frustrated, he said: "The lord does not mention the river, but talks about the Yellow River, and it seems that the lord has already had an opinion on this. In recent years, the Yellow River has flooded many times, and the imperial court has not built a river channel and connived at corrupt officials to accumulate wealth. The people of the world are the most bitter in the Yellow River Valley. Now the Yellow River is close to the left, ten rooms and nine empty, and the people are easy to eat. If anyone ascends to the heights and shouts, the homeless people will compete with each other, and great chaos will arise. ”

I nodded and said approvingly: "Zizheng's insight is really extraordinary, and I am also worried about the chaos from the Yellow River, but what should we do in the future?" ”

He asked, "When will the Lord want to resurrect?" ”

I replied, "When it will be restored, the power will be in the court, how can I know?" ”

Frustrated, he said: "Does the lord want to test me, I see that the lord has a plan in his heart, but he doesn't want to tell me, I am honest with the lord, and the lord treats me like this, isn't it chilling." ”

I hurriedly grabbed the placket of my frustrated clothes and said, "How can I hide anything from Zizheng, but my plan in my heart is not mature, so I am afraid that Zizheng will laugh and dare not say it." Since Zizheng has said this, I will discuss my thoughts with Zizheng. ”

"When does the lord plan to resurrect, and where does he plan to establish his foundation when he recovers?" ”

I hesitated for a moment, but finally decided to state my plan: "Next year will be the year of Jiazi (the ancient Chinese method of the Heavenly Stems and Earthly Branches). In the Book of Changes, it is said: One yuan is renewed, and the age is in Jiazi. He also said, "Jiazi is the main soldier and the main disaster." The year of Jiazi is the year of great murder and great calamity. I see that there was little snow in winter last year, and I estimate that this year there will be a great drought, and after the drought, if the imperial court gives mercy, the chaos will disappear in the bud. If the imperial court increases taxes, there will inevitably be chaos next year. ”

In the haze, Tian Chou heard this, and immediately sobered up: "Lord, if the chaos starts from the river, and we are here, wouldn't it be dangerous." ”

Fu Zhu nodded indifferently and said: "The lord is famous for his martial arts, if he can stand up and occupy one side of the land when the chaos arises, it will not be a problem." ”

Hahaha, it really doesn't take much effort to talk to smart people, I said the last sentence, and he knows the next sentence. I smiled at each other, and my heart was full of joy.

Turning my head, I comforted Tian Chou: "Zitai, there are brave generals Guan Hai by my side, 100 strong soldiers, and thousands of troops can still be killed, how can I be afraid of this rabble." ”

Tian Chou thought about it, but it was reasonable, so he put his mind at ease. However, he thought about it for a while, and then said reluctantly: "It's better to inform Izumo City and let them send another 500 ironclad cavalry here, so that it is a safe plan." ”

Alas, this guy is really open-mouthed, and I was thinking about how to talk to Frustration about Izumo City, and he poked it out first. But at this time, I couldn't blame him to my face, so I had to smile and not answer.

When he heard the words "Izumo Castle", he immediately asked: "Izumo Castle, I have heard of this name, and the imperial court had appointed the Duke of Xuande to settle the displaced people, and the subject state of Liaoxi established seems to be called Izumo Country." It's just that now Liaoxi is ruined, is Izumo City still there? Some of the cities that the displaced people are attached to are afraid that they will not last long. If you can train soldiers, it is better for the lord to recruit around. ”

I shook my head and said to Fu Zhu, "This city was built three years ago when I was studying in Youzhou, and the imperial court has only recently appointed it. Izumo Castle is a base for me to train human resources, and a special zone for me to experiment with new ways of governing the country. At present, Izumo has 3,000 ironclad cavalry and 2,000 ironclad guards, and the displaced people under its jurisdiction are all under militarized management, and everyone is familiar with military affairs, hiding soldiers from the people and from farmers. If there is a major event, it will not be a problem to gather 30,000 elite soldiers within ten days. Another day, when he is free, Zizheng can go to Izumo and see the power of Izumo's iron ride. ”

Frustrated and overjoyed: "The lord has such help by his side, and let me and the lord plan the way forward. ”

I then discussed with him where it would be best to establish his power after my recovery. Before I knew it, it was dawn.

Tian Feng, who was resting at Fu Zhi's house, got up at this moment to greet Fu Zhu to leave, and learned that Fu Zhu had come to me with a torch at night, and immediately understood his intentions.

After bowing his head and thinking for a while, Tian Feng looked up to the sky and sighed: "I and Fu Gong were jointly conquered by Han Jizhou, and our lips and teeth depended on each other, and Fu Gong went immediately, how could I go to Yecheng (Xindu) alone." Let's go, let's go, let's go, I'll go to meet Xuande Gong and make plans again. ”

When I heard that Tian Feng was visiting, I was ecstatic. didn't care about putting on his shoes, and hurriedly pulled up the frustration and ran out of the hall, "Fu Hao (Tian Feng) is here, did you teach Liu Bei?" ”

Tian Feng's eyes flashed on my bare feet, and he bowed to me and said, "Tian Feng is here to send horse bones for Xuande." ”

I understand what he meant, in the Warring States Period, King Yan wanted to recruit talents, and the people below sent the skeleton of a thousand-mile horse, so that King Yan would treat the horse bones well, so that the world could understand that he was sincere. Just imagine, he attaches so much importance to horse bones, let alone the real Maxima.

Of course, Tian Feng's words also expressed the intention of defecting, how can I be polite, and immediately pick up the conversation and say: "How can you be a horse bone, my Liu Bei has Tian Feng today, such as the former Gaozu has Zhang Liang and Chen Ping, just like King Yanzhao has Guan Zhong Leyi." Both of them are the best horses in the world, and they are ready to do what they can, and they rely on the two of them. ”
