Chapter 83: A Visitor on a Rainy Night
No matter how Liu Xie died, Emperor Han Xian was gone. Cao Cao coerced the Son of Heaven to make the princes naturally unable to talk about it, the key is that now Cao Cao actually defected to Yuan Shao, whether he can be independent or not, history seems to be moving in an unknown direction.
However, all this actually means little to Li Ming, after all, he is not particularly familiar with history. Some of the approximate historical events are okay, the details of the situation, and the course of events, but the time is unknown. So even if history becomes a mess, it will not have any effect on him.
Liu Ting ascended the throne, according to Guo Jia, the states on the eastern side of Jiangdong, such as Youzhou, Yuzhou, Jingzhou, Jiaozhou, Xuzhou, Qingzhou and Yangzhou, actually do not need to worry at all, after all, even if Liu Ting wants to expand externally, he must first attack Yizhou, Nanyang, Yanzhou, Jizhou and Bingzhou in Jingzhou.
"Don't say it, Liu Dai's guy is not a peaceful guy no matter how you look at it. It's just Yizhou Mu and Youzhou Mu, I'm afraid it's still a big man! Of course, it's none of my business what they do, what is really worth worrying about at this stage is that if Liu Ting forcibly wants to transfer me to Guanzhong, or transfer all the state pastors around, how will I deal with it? Li Ming asked.
"The lord is worried, although this situation will also occur, but the world's heroes are not something he can handle casually! In the final analysis, Liu Ting's residence has been in residence for too long and his prestige is insufficient. Besides, Yuan Shao's plan to clear the monarch's side is not a matter of one or two days! Guo Jia said with a smile.
"With his subordinates' understanding of Liu Ting...... Jia Xu also replied, "Even if he wants to do it, Shen Ye will not allow him to do this." The only result of this is to trigger a second joint crusade of the princes! ”
"So I'm relieved! In other words, the plan doesn't need to change, right? Li Ming looked at the three of them.
"That's true, the lord is in the land south of the Yangtze River, whether it is the Central Plains or Hebei, and even Guanzhong has no time to pay attention here. Most people in the world think that the Central Plains is orthodox, not to mention that Jiangnan is full of wild lands, to be honest, before Jia entered Huiji County, he even had to worry about the situation here, but he didn't want to be under the governance of the lord, the vitality of Huiji County was no less than Jiujiang County! Even if it is compared to the Central Plains, it is not much worse! Guo Jia arched his hand and said.
"Fengxiao has also begun to learn to flatter people......" Li Ming laughed, his expression still quite proud. After all, the development of Huiji County today is indeed inseparable from his efforts.
An endless stream of merchants, a steady stream of goods manufactured and shipped to the north. It's not just all kinds of luxury goods, just in terms of weapons, the quality of the weapons created here in Huiji County is also very good, and many princes in the north have placed orders.
Li Ming has even made it clear that even if you don't have money, you can exchange it for homeless people! Nowadays, there are many displaced people in the Central Plains, and since last year, about 200,000 people have come to settle in Wu County and Huiji County. According to Li Ming's original goal, he wanted to immigrate millions to fill Wu County and Huiji County within ten years!
Since it was just a false alarm, Li Ming didn't care whether Liu Ting was on the throne or not, and thought about it, it was an old acquaintance, so he ordered to go down, prepared some luxury goods, and directly ordered someone to send them to Guanzhong as a congratulatory gift for the new monarch to ascend the throne.
If Liu Ting can get carried away and indulge in luxury and enjoyment, then there is really no need to worry!
Bidding farewell to Jia Xu and the three of them, Li Ming returned to the inner house, no matter what, Dong Zhuo's death gave Dong Cheng and Dong Bai too much pain, but Li Ming couldn't do anything at all except enlighten them and comfort them.
Fortunately, the two of them are worthy of being the daughters of the Dong family, and the next day, they have learned to be strong to face everything and cheer up again!
"Seriously, it's best if you can pull yourself together!" Li Ming watched them eat breakfast energetically, and he was really relieved.
"What's the point of being sad?" Dong Cheng shook her head, "The woman in the northwest has long been accustomed to her father or husband going on the expedition, but she was sent back with a jar of ashes by her comrades. In the desolate land of the northwest, there is not enough food to eat, and the man does not know how to eat except as a soldier. However, on the battlefield, whether it is the Qiang or the Huns, they all have to fight hard! ”
"That's it!" Dong Bai also got involved, "Don't look at the grandfather's great fight, the Qiang people respect him!" In the early days in Xiliang, he led people to kill more than a dozen tribes of Dangqiang and Xian Lingqiang, which led to a river of blood, which led to a marriage with Xian Lingqiang, and finally had a sister! I remember that my grandfather said, whether it is in the northwest, Jiuyuan or Youzhou, it is a place where strength is respected! Those who are begging for a living here are actually ready to sacrifice one day! ”
"Besides, the two of them don't have the conditions for revenge." Diao Chan rarely spoke, "I just hope that if one day, you really enter the Guanzhong, and by the way, help them avenge this revenge." By the way, how's my stepfather?! ”
According to Jia Xu's information, although Wang Yun was the last group to go to Chang'an, he was not implicated. Because of his character, Liu Ting seems to have appointed him as Shang Shuling, and his career looks quite flat! It's just that considering my relationship with Wang Yu, it is estimated that it will be difficult to enter the core of power and be truly trusted by Liu Ting! Li Ming shook his head.
"As long as you can live in peace! Sometimes I really don't understand that you boys, for the sake of illusory power and status, you have to fight to the death. If everyone can sit down and talk calmly, maybe there will be fewer deaths. Diao Chan's tone was inevitably a little sad.
"I know that you are kind, in the end, isn't it because there is no way to talk about it, that everyone will do it? In fact, there are some people who don't want it, but his status and identity are destined to be constantly pushed forward by his subordinates. Even in front of the fire pit, he doesn't have much freedom himself! Li Ming said slowly.
"At least you're not!" Diao Chan looked at Li Ming.
"Just because I jumped into this fire pit of my own accord, and I don't regret it!" Li Ming smiled and shook his head.
"Man...... Haven't you ever thought that when you are fighting to the death with others outside for your career, your wife and concubine are worrying about you at home and crying for you? Diao Chan said slowly.
"Sister Xiu'er, you can't say that!" Xun Cai came forward, "At least I don't like it, the kind of existence that only understands the love of children and daughters, but watches itself perish little by little." Brother Ming actually looks average, he can be so charming, talent and ability are important, this kind of positive, courageous spirit of facing difficulties, let me be intoxicated. ”
"Yes, yes, that's it! I like Riyao, he should be a hero who wears battle armor and fights bravely in enemy formations! Dong Cheng smiled, if this is the case, then no matter how long it takes, I am willing to wait at home and wait for him to come back silently.
Seeing this, Diao Chan didn't say anything more, I have to say that there are vague concepts in her heart, and they began to change.
After more than ten days like this, Zhang Liao and Zhao Yun were temporarily arranged under Xu Huang, and at the same time, they were ordered to go to private schools every month to study tactical strategy courses for about ten days. According to Li Ming, it is to learn more while they are still young.
One afternoon, it was raining heavily in the sky, and everyone hid in their houses and didn't want to come out. At this time, the porter hurriedly came to report that there were two homeless people who claimed to be the old people of Guanzhong, and they came to the door to ask for a meeting.
"Oh, let them in!" Li Ming was originally teaching Li Chong to practice martial arts, and when he heard this, he immediately became a little nervous.
