Lu'an County is more than 130 miles away from Hefei County, Li Ming knows that the soldiers are fast, and directly advanced to the later Dabai Township, which is less than 50 miles away from Hefei County.

In contrast, Yuan Shujun realized that he had not yet set off and had received the position where Li Ming had advanced to Dabai Township, and finally had to be stationed in the area of Xiaomiao Township, which was twenty miles away from Dabai Township and later generations.

"I didn't expect Yuan Shu to be such a fool, there are still some capable people down there!" Li Ming looked at the other party's camp from a distance, Ji Ling and they arrived a little hastily, but it didn't mean that they could be bullied.

First the repelling rifles on the periphery of the camp, and then the rows and rows of ground thorns, were mainly used to defend against enemy cavalry charges. On this basis, the outermost fence began to be built rapidly, and then the camp tent inside, everything was built in an orderly manner, for which Yuan Shu mobilized at least tens of thousands of people.

"Riyao ......" Wang Yu came to Li Ming's side, and the two had a good relationship in private, "Yuan Shu just attaches great importance to his family background, this habit originated in the Eastern Zhou Dynasty, and it is not surprising that officials from the nobility look down on the eunuchs from the common people."

He himself has received a good education, and he has had a lot of resources to practice Qi since he was a child, and it is obvious that Yuan Shu is not the material for practicing martial arts. He awakened the innate Qi, and it was only used as a thing to strengthen the body and prolong life.

In the same way, he has been trained in the art of war, strategy, and even political and communication skills. You can imagine that after more than 20 years of training, his accumulated knowledge and ability have surpassed more than seventy percent of the current people, and he is also a relatively high existence among the remaining thirty percent, and he does have capital to be proud of! ”

Compared with some people who can't go to school all their lives, or who have difficulty getting access to some books or martial arts, he has received strict training as a concubine since he was a child, which is even stricter than Yuan Shao's concubine.

suddenly understood why he hated Yuan Shao so much. He is obviously harder than Yuan Shao, under more pressure, and more like a nobleman, but the elders in the family value Yuan Shao more as a concubine, an existence like those vulgar guys.

Li Ming felt that he couldn't accept it either, and even doubted what his efforts in the past 20 years were, and then began to become self-defeating, and even self-exiled.

Wang Yu pointed to the other party's camp at this moment, and continued: "The Yuan valve has been divided, but the Yuan valve's heritage is still there, and there are still many forces that are dependent on the Yuan valve. They may come from local tycoons, or from small or even medium-sized families.

They also have their own heritage, Yuan Shu's character, if he is not a child of a family, or if he is not a celebrity, he will not be recruited under his command. And since he is a child of a family, he naturally has a good military literacy.

In fact, you have always had a misunderstanding, there are also outstanding generals in the Hanmen, but in order to grow from the Hanmen to a general who can lead the army independently, he must be literate, and have military and strategic knowledge, so more than ninety percent of the Hanmen officers have been brushed off at this point, so most of the officers from the Hanmen can only become military marquis at most, or serve as county lieutenants in local counties. ”

For example, Xu Huang, he is from a wealthy family in Hedong, so it is understandable to be a little cultural; For example, Zhang Mo studied hard the day after tomorrow, the key is that he has this environment; In contrast, Zhao Yun and Zhang Liao, who had just joined, had not systematically studied the knowledge of the army, and so far they did not have the qualifications to lead the army independently. Even Xu Huang and Zhang Mo are only qualified, and in order to become outstanding, they need to continue to accumulate battlefield experience, and the key point is...... Stay alive!

"That's why I've always wanted to break the family's monopoly on knowledge, and everyone has the right to education!" Li Ming said.

However, just printing books has almost caused the family to explode. Fortunately, the scientific examination system you proposed is very good, and it should be able to properly appease the emotions of the family. But you said that you plan to set up a village school, which will make them break out en masse. Wang Yu took the opportunity to persuade him.

"You know who I am, and one day it will be revealed. At that point, I may be passive, whether or not I have always been surnamed Lee. Talents will be afraid, and our follow-up talent pool will be very embarrassed, I am really afraid, so I plan to hoard a batch of talents in advance. In the end, it is his own subordination, absolute loyalty, Li Ming dares to say what is in his heart.

"Are you too worried...... Wang Yuyan smiled when he heard this, "As long as you show enough strength, then even if you directly declare that you are a descendant of the overlord of Western Chu, there will be a steady stream of people coming to take refuge." When one day you succeed in sitting on the throne, you can modify history at will, including the dispute between Chu and Han in the past, you can continue to smear the big Han, everything you like! ”

"Thank you very much, without your reminder, I guess I would really be on top of this." Li Ming nodded.

"As for the current stage, it is very simple, I can establish the Wang clan study, you can continue to expand your Li clan study, and Zhang Mo can be sent out, for example, Xiao Yao can also establish the Xiao clan study. We can use the name of private learning to recruit a group of students in the private sector, and then train them in advance, and then give them a certain amount of 'care' appropriately, so that the initial second-generation team will appear, and even the third-generation team can be cultivated through this means.

On the other hand, if three generations of talent teams can't give you the strength to deter the whole world and force them to compromise, then I don't think there is any need to establish a township school. You're not the kind of person who doesn't want to make progress, right? ”

"Yes, I'll make them compromise! Times will change, with the great voyage, as well as the rise of commerce, the complete elimination of the grain standard, I will let them understand that in this change, only those who follow me can reap the benefits! Li Ming said with a smile.

In one day and one night, the two sides actually completed the camp construction at the same time. The difference is that on Li Ming's side, only 5,000 soldiers from the engineering battalion were used, but the other party used 30,000 people, and it seems that more than 300 people were reduced during the period.

Freezing to death or contracting wind chill or something, or being killed as an example of slow progress. This group of generals from a family really doesn't take ordinary people seriously. Or is it true that the aristocracy itself stepped on the throne of millions of people?

"So what's next? Directly send someone to abuse the past, or send an envoy to agree on what to go to war or something? Li Ming sat in the big tent, "After all, Yuan Shu attaches so much importance to bloodline and family background, do you want to start fighting according to the model of the princes and kings of the Spring and Autumn Period?!" ”

"That's not bad, but it's the era of the Han Dynasty. Many things have changed, including the use of the Book of Songs to dialogue at every turn, and the follow-up, as Confucius said, is already 'the era of the collapse of etiquette and music'. There are some things that no longer need to be so observed, you only need to line up in front of the formation, and the other party will naturally deal with it. Wang Yu smiled when he heard this.

Li Minghui said that, obviously in response to his previous evaluation of Yuan Shu.

"And who's going to lead tomorrow?" Li Ming looked at the generals and then at Guo Jia at the same time, "Are Gan Ning and Zhou Tai in place?" ”

"It's already in place, Gan Ning has arrived in Zongyang, and he will enter Chaohu Lake in about two days! The key is still the men and horses of Liyang, Zhou Tai plans to attack halfway and annihilate them on the river! Guo Jia replied.

"Have you discussed?" Li Ming looked at the generals, "I don't mind going into battle by myself!" ”

"Lord, why do you have to meet them by your subordinates this time, right?" Zu Lang jumped out and went north to beg Dong to stay behind, and then he had to pretend to be Shanyue to create conditions for Li Ming to enter Yuzhang, and he had already held his breath in his heart.

"Okay, take your soldiers and test the opponent's combat power tomorrow. Seriously, it seems to be getting cold again, and I want to know the data on the winter battles of the soldiers. If the impact is not great, I really plan to make winter fighting a norm, after all, it is like a night attack, you can always hit the opponent by surprise! Li Ming said slowly.

"Wrap it up on your subordinates!" Zu Lang was allowed to pat his chest and replied.

"Do you need reinforcements from the archers?" Zhang Mo asked, as Li Tong, who is responsible for commanding the strong archers in the guerrilla army, is also ready to move at this moment.

"You can support from the side, as long as you deal with the archers of the opposing side!" Li Ming nodded, and Li Tong gladly accepted the order.

At the same time, in Ji Ling's camp, several generals gathered in the tent. In the end, it was winter, the cold wind was howling in the middle of the night, and Ji Ling and several people gathered together to bake the fire, it seemed that this was the only way to resist this cold weather.

"Is Li Ming crazy?" Ji Ling immediately complained, "It's winter and it's still war!" ”

"Li Ming is crazy, it's easy for us to fight, isn't it? We're cold, they're cold, I'll see how they plan to fight! Le said proudly. At this time, a cold wind hit, and he suddenly shrank back again, the handsome tent is a tent in the end, as long as the wind blocking effect is still a little worse in the tent.

In contrast, the artisan battalion under Li Ming was naughty, and I don't know if it was to tie up with Li Ming, a wooden command center was specially set up, after all, this can't be considered a tent. The mixing of civil structures ensures the wind protection of this temporary shelter, and at the same time, an earthen kang is built to ensure a comfortable sleep in the middle of the night.

This kind of treatment is only available at the level of generals, and the lieutenants below can also have an earthen kang, and as for the officers below, they can only be as warm as the opposite. Fortunately, the supply of coal was abundant, and the thickened leather jackets made it easy for the soldiers to sleep at night.

"The fire kang designed by the lord is very good!" Guo Jia lay lazily on the kang, according to the assignment, these staff officers were arranged in one room, and there were two earthen kangs.

"With this, the people don't have to worry about the tragedy of the death of a child or the death of an elderly person in winter." Xi Zhicai nodded, and Zhuji County took the lead in adopting the fire kang design, and then began to radiate out around. The ondol was taken to other county towns by the officials who were replaced, and seeing that winter was coming, the ondol was covered everywhere to keep out the cold.

This indirectly led to the booming sales of firewood and coal, but the most lacking in the south of the Yangtze River is firewood. The people who make charcoal also make a lot of money as a result. The biggest problem is probably carbon monoxide poisoning, which Li Ming has also launched the "Carbon Poison Knowledge Manual" to promote the precautions and self-help principles of charcoal burning.

"I'm not worried about the soldiers, the key is the weapon, the weather is cold, and the weapons have become a lot more brittle, but I'm afraid that I will destroy a lot after fighting for a while. We went north this time, and the logistical pressure was relatively high. On the contrary, they are fighting on their own, and their weapons can be replenished at any time, if there is no way to solve the problem quickly, we estimate that they will be limited by the problem of weapons and have to retreat! Guo Jia looked at the ceiling and muttered in a low voice.

"Isn't our plan built around these things? According to what the lord said, we have reserved the possibility of unknown factors, as well as calculated the worst-case scenario, and the solutions that can be thought of, we have already thought of a good solution, and the rest can only depend on God's will! Xi Zhicai replied.

"Yes......" Guo Jia replied slowly, and after a while, he also fell asleep.
