Jiang Qi understands Xu Huang's mood of serving the people and working hard to govern the country. But understanding is not always possible, especially whether it can be done, which is the key.

In fact, in every man's heart, there is a big or small ambition. In the eyes of ordinary people, troubled times are the most hateful and fearful, and the most frightening, but in the hearts of ambitious men, they are born with a desire for troubled times. Because only in troubled times can the original ossified order be broken again, and only then can the lowly become noble, and let the noble prostrate at the feet of the lowly, so that they can wake up to the power of the world, drunk and lie on the knees of beauties, to put it bluntly, that is, the troubled times give all ambitious people a chance, a chance to change themselves, or Wuding food or Wuding cooking.

Such an opportunity, in the entire Central Plains, will only appear once in hundreds of years, when the troubled times come, the so-called heroes come out, in fact, it is the big waves of sand, and the rest of the dead are heroes, those who unfortunately die first, it has achieved the glory of these lucky people.

In troubled times, we must take the initiative, seize the opportunity, and strive to climb up, only the higher the position, the safer it is, so that we will not be eliminated, and we can finally realize the ambition in our hearts.

However, in this world, there is another law, that is, the so-called heroes have no place to use, and the reason is that the so-called heroes have not yet reached the stage where they control their own destiny, and these so-called heroes are just pawns in the hands of people who are more heroic than him, at the mercy of others.

For example, Xu Huang and Jiang Qi in modern times.

Jiang Qi deeply understands Xu Huang's mood now, that is, to seize this opportunity to stand alone, and really stand out, not wanting to be a pawn at the mercy of others, but to be a chess player who controls his own destiny and future.

The ideal is very plump, the reality is very skinny, you have a heart full of fighting spirit and ambition, but what you are facing is definitely not a giant hand that you can break free, the fate of the chess piece, you can't change it, you can struggle, but it's just a key one, or a very idle one, or an abandoned chess piece.

Right now, you want to take this opportunity to turn over and do something, but you want to check the population, prepare for the future battle with Lu Peng, but it's okay for you to catch some homeless, if you want to move the slaves of those big families, don't say you move, you just ask them how many slaves there are in their own families, and they will immediately turn against you and overthrow you.

Regarding the land, it is the lifeblood of these families, once you get it in your hands, don't want to get it back, and once you want to use force, it is definitely you Xu Huang who will never recover.

And if you offend the wealthy family and die, not only will you not be rewarded by the lord, but you will definitely be thrown out by the lord and confessed to the wealthy family on which your group relies as a scapegoat.

Now Jiang Qi seems to have seen that a huge black cauldron is flying on the way.

Jiang Qi smiled bitterly and made up his mind: "I'd rather be beaten to death by Lu Peng than crushed to death by the black cauldron." ”

Because of this awareness, Jiang Qi changed the topic: "Now that it has entered the late autumn, the issue of rectifying the people and registering the land is a matter of the spring of next year, and the top priority now is how to integrate Yuan Shao's original county subordinates to join them, so as to concentrate on dealing with Lu Peng."

This is the main topic, and you can't always go off topic when you do big things.

Xu Huang, who was walking inside, stopped again and said in a deep voice: "It is natural for soldiers to eat food, since this is the case, we must give them food in addition to the inspiration of righteousness, so that if we start on both sides, those Yuan Shao's original subordinates will definitely follow." ”

Xu Huang expressed enough optimism about the prospect of Yuan Shao's subordinates defecting to him.

First of all, he occupies the righteousness and orthodoxy of the imperial court, which occupies the high ground in terms of reputation. As the saying goes, people go to high places, water flows to low places, everyone wants to rely on a good backer, the prime minister represents the court, and is also a generation of heroes, his soldiers are strong and strong, the place is vast, how to see how the future is great.

Lu Peng is not good, although he has the title of a Youzhou pastor, but after all, he is the governor of a state under the Han court, and he is very different from the prime minister in terms of grade.

Another point is the territory, now Cao Cao owns, Yongzhou (later merged with Sizhou) Sili, Yanzhou, Yuzhou, Xuzhou, Qingzhou, the thirteen states of the world have occupied one-third, the main of these states and counties are the most developed in the Han Dynasty, the richest products, the most densely populated places.

And looking at Lu Peng, it is just a secluded state, by the way, there are four counties in the hands of his uncle Gongsun Du, Lu Peng is half a state, how can it be compared with Cheng?

As for the vast Wuhuan grassland, in the hearts of the great Han scholars, it is a barren land, and even the exile of prisoners there should seem too inhumane.

In such a comparison, Xu Huang believes that even a fool can distinguish the importance and stand in the line.

What's more, his own treatment of the Lu brothers also expressed his attitude to Yuan Shao's original subordinates, so Xu Huang is confident that after distributing their money and food, those officials from all over the country will respond one after another and defect to his banner, so that he will immediately integrate no less than 50,000 horses, plus his own 10,000 strong army, hold various cities, and wait for the prime minister to recover and respond to himself There is no problem at all.

At this moment, a cronie patrol shouted "Report-" and rushed directly into the gate and ran into the lobby.

Looking at the dusty cronies patrolling, Xu Huang's face darkened, and there was a bad premonition in his heart.

Swallowing hard, he asked, "Is there any major military report?" ”

This cronie patrol whistled and reported: "Just a small investigation, Lu Peng's army went south along the Yellow River to block the prime minister's army from going north, but just the day before yesterday, Lu Peng's army arrived in Pingyuan County, I heard that the general had arrived in Xindu, and had already divided his troops the day before yesterday, and the main force was still south, and Lu Peng personally led the team to return to the north, and now it has entered Qinghe County and is killing Xindu. ”

Xu Huang was stunned for a moment, and muttered without surprise: "Lu Peng's reaction is so fast. ”

Lu Peng's reaction was indeed unexpectedly fast. According to the habits of doing things in this era, everything is slow-paced, a small combat operation, from the beginning of the decision to the preparation, it will take a long time, and then follow up, that is more in the year of the monkey, the soldier is fast, that is all written requirements, in reality there are few people to do it.

As a result, it has only been five days since he came to Xindu, and Lu Peng has made such a quick response and made such a decisive decision, which has to make Xu Huang, who has not seen Lu Peng, pay attention to Lu Peng for the first time.

Since Lu Peng has already led his troops to the north, and Bingfeng is pointing directly at himself, he must take countermeasures and prepare in advance.

Jiang Qi, who raised his eyes to look at his adviser assistant and Si Cao, asked: "I don't know what the situation in Qinghe County is, Qinghe Taishou can be in his position, where his hearts are going, have we ever contacted him, can he resist Lu Peng for us for a while, and buy us some time." A series of questions were raised, and Jiang Qi was speechless at that time.

Just go on, the two of us came together, you are busy receiving the military affairs of the Lu brothers, I am busy contacting the major families for grain and grass, and implementing disaster relief, and the situation of the counties and counties in various places really haven't had time to contact, I only know a rough idea, who knows the details?

Xu Huang looked at Jiang Qi's embarrassed face, and in the end he could only sigh, he didn't want Jiang Qi to be like this, he took over Yizhou by himself, in fact, it was just Jiang Qi himself, to be honest, he didn't even have a complete leadership team, and it was indeed difficult for a strong man to grasp the overall situation in such a short period of time.

Fortunately, at this time, the cronie patrolled the sentry and stepped forward to report: "When the little one was investigating Lu Peng's movements, he paid attention to the situation in Qinghe County. ”

Xu Huang and Jiang Qi's eyes immediately lit up: "How is the situation of Qinghe?" Come quickly, and if it is useful, I will reward it richly. ”

After kneeling down to thank him first, the cronie stood up and reported: "When the little one was monitoring Lu Peng's movements, he also stayed in Qinghe County, and he specially paid attention to the situation in Qinghe. ”

"What is the condition of Qinghe now?" Xu Huang and Jiang Qi asked anxiously.

"Not good." The cronies answered this sentence directly, and then continued: "Since the people of Qinghe knew that Yuan Shaonasi dedicated Yizhou to the prime minister, the people began to flee to Youzhou, and the few remaining soldiers also absconded, there is no way, Qinghe Taishou also carried money, food and furniture, and went to Xudu, now Qinghe is an undefended city, and it can't stop the forward speed of Lu Peng's army at all." ”

As a result, Xu Huang, who was full of confidence, was chilled by the bucket of cold water from his cronies.

Jiang Qi also looked at the simple outrageous map and sighed, pointed to the map and said to Xu Huang: "Now the counties of Yizhou, Bohai was ceded by Yuan Shao to Lu Peng and the prime minister at the beginning, and finally the prime minister adopted Jia Xu's plan and gave it to Lu Peng because he wanted to provoke a dispute between Lu Peng and Yuan Shao. Zhongshan Changshan and Hejian, now surrendered to Lü Peng, Zhao Guangping Wei County has been divided by Zhao Yun, in order to block the prime minister's army to the north, Lü Peng personally led his army has arrived at Qinghe County, and also the southern plain Yangping is cut off between me and the Yellow River. ”

Looking at Xu Huang with a confused face, Jiang Qi solemnly told Xu Huang: "Now we can still contact the two counties of Julu and Anping, and the others are gone." ”

At that time, Xu Huang was stunned on the spot, and it took a long time to understand that he felt that he was in charge of the thirteen states of the Han Dynasty, and his subordinates were only in charge of three counties, which also included the Xindu under our feet now, is there any difference between this and nothing?

It seems that there is no difference at all.

At this time, Xu Huang felt that his situation seemed to be very bad, even worse than the worst situation he imagined at the beginning. Now I am in the situation of being embattled and the turtle in the text. As long as Lu Peng does it to himself, he will go to a dead place where there is no food and grass inside, and there are no rescuers outside.

But such a situation did not crush Xu Huang's fighting spirit and blazing ambition, people, the more difficult they are, the more they should be strong.

After a period of frustration, Xu Huang still gathered his spirits, pointed to the simple map and said to Jiang Qi: "Then have the remaining two counties sent messengers?" ”

"Sent out."

"Is there a result?"

"There are results."

"What result?"

"They sent officials and stretched out their hands to us for money and food."

Xu Huang let out a sigh of relief and said, "This time we got a huge amount of money and food, which can satisfy them, as long as they bring troops over." ”

Jiang Qi said: "They asked us to transport the money and grain to them. ”

Xu Huang was furious: "This is resistance, this is contempt for the boss, this is to cut off the head and punish the crime." ”

Jiang Qi folded his hands and said nothing in embarrassment.

"Didn't you tell them that this was an order from the imperial court?" After a burst of anger, Xu Huang felt that his assassination history was not interesting, so he was deflated and took out the signboard of the imperial court, hoping that this would make those guys bow down.

Jiang Qi didn't answer, but Xu Huang also understood the reason, the current imperial court has no prestige, and it is not regarded at all.

In fact, it should be said that even when Emperor Xian was martyred, everyone still respected the imperial court, but since Cao Cao coerced the Son of Heaven to make the rumors of the princes appear, especially the release of the jade belt edict of Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty, all the Han courtiers have a feeling in their hearts, that is, the imperial court is no longer the court of the Liu family, and the Han is not the original Han, that is to say, although the second master is still the second master, but in essence, it is no longer the second master.

Since the second uncle is no longer the second uncle, why do you still listen to the instructions of a second uncle's concierge that is simply a fake second uncle?

Now is the troubled times, the troubled times are what all ambitious people are looking forward to, at this time, they can be independent, and if they can't be independent, they must find a good backer and follow a career. And to do a career and take refuge in a master, you must have the step to advance, and you must come up with some bargaining capital, so the military territory that is now in your own hands must not be easily given to outsiders.

As a result, not to mention the few counties that were isolated by Lu Peng and Zhao Yun, even the three counties that are now nominally controlled by the Yizhou Thorn Shi have also begun to wait and see.

Since the people didn't come, Jiang Qi suggested: "Since they don't come, and they still want our money and grain, then the general might as well take their counties directly with men and horses in the name of escorting grain and grass to them, and it is better to do it once and for all." ”

Xu Huang pondered for a while, and finally nodded firmly: "What Mr. said is that if you don't use thunderbolt methods, it is difficult to show the bodhisattva's heart, from mine, I will reuse it, and if you don't follow, I will kill it, and we will kill a hundred people." ”

So, Xu Huang and Jiang Qi carefully analyzed the situation of the officials in the remaining three counties. Prepare to catch a chicken and kill it for the other two monkeys to see.

Analyzing and analyzing, he finally set his eyes on the neck of the giant deer Taishou Xinxing.
