Chapter 70 Study Plans
The Yellow Turban Rebellion swept through the Han Dynasty, but the guards in the Luoyang area were still impregnable. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
Next, Lu Zhi, Huangfu Song and Zhu Jun will lead the elite of the Han Dynasty to set off from Luoyang and start the journey of suppressing bandits.
All He Xian needed to do was to stall for time and drag Zhu Jun, one of the last three famous generals of the Han Dynasty, to extinguish the rebellion that eventually led to the demise of the Han Dynasty.
In front of him, the first thing He Xian needed to deal with was the stout yellow arrow that pounced on He Jiazhuang. A 5,000-strong Yellow Turban Army led by Zhang Mancheng's Xiaofang Liu Pi.
"Childe, Mr. Li asks to see you." Xiao Qiang's voice sounded outside the study.
"Please!"
He Xian solemnly watched Li Yan, who was dressed in a white filial piety suit, appear in front of him, and was deeply moved.
"I'm sorry about your business!" failed to protect the safety of Li Yan's family, and He Xian has always felt guilty.
"Childe doesn't have to mind! Life and death are life, wealth is in the sky! What's more, the foundation of the Li family still exists, and the heirs are immortal, and the father will laugh when he learns about it. ”
Li Yan said that the more relaxed he was, the more He Xian could feel the pain in his heart. The second son, who was once unconcerned, wants to make a career and get his father's affirmation. But I never thought that my career had not yet been launched, but my father was no longer there. "The tree wants to be quiet but the wind does not stop, and the son wants to raise but does not wait" is the pain in Li Yan's heart now.
However, as the new head of the Li family in Fuyang, the young Li Yan was burdened with the expectations of more than 20 women and children. The survival of the family is the most important thing at the moment. This is the reason why just after the first seven days of his father and brother, Li Yan took the initiative to ask to see He Xian. At present, the survival of the He family is the survival of the Li family.
"Come on, come on, Brother Fang Zheng just happened to advise me on a strategy to retreat from the enemy!" The sad words were all here, He Xian took the initiative to change the topic and pulled Li Yan to the front of the big map.
"How long does Childe think this Yellow Turban disaster will last?" Li Yan stared at the map and thought for a while, then asked.
"Six months at the least, a year at the most." The Yellow Turban Rebellion in history lasted eight months from the time Ma Yuanyi was found to be torn apart in Luoyang and ended with the death of the three Zhang Jiao brothers. Now, with the factor of He Xian, He Jin has a stricter embankment for Taiping Road, and he should be more appropriate in dealing with counterinsurgency matters than in the original history. Inferentially, the time should be much shorter. However, He Xian still gave a more conservative time.
Li Yan nodded in agreement.
"There are many families in Nanyang, and the entanglements of forces are complicated, taking my little Li family as an example, there are seven families such as Zheng, Wang, Zhu, and Chen. Before that, although the He family was a national relative, it was still very difficult to get involved in the Nanyang realm. However, Taiping Road rebelled. For my Nanyang family, this is a disaster for extermination. For Ho, this catastrophe was a godsend! This is the so-called method of blessing and misfortune! The families that survive the great calamity will surely grow rapidly and move towards another period of greater glory. This has been true throughout the ages. The He family has the imperial concubine and Henan Yin to rely on, and with the ability of the son, he can completely grab the greatest benefits in this disaster. It is not an exaggeration to even become the first family in Nanyang! ”
He Xian looked at Li Yan in limited surprise, not expecting that he was already watching what happened after the yellow scarf, and the distance of his vision was amazing.
Li Yan bowed his hand and said: "Yan tasted and heard that when the head of the family was in charge of the land of Yingchuan, he was despised by the family because of his identity as the son of the Tu family. Because of this, Childe disdained to make friends with the family. However, the He family wants to become a member of the family after all. Nanyang, as the hometown of the He family and the foundation of the son, these families are unavoidable. Why don't Childe take this opportunity to envelop these forces in one fell swoop and add help to future development? What's more, when Gongzi sent a secret letter, he must not want to see these families uprooted. These big families have inherited the favor of the son, if the son can help them in times of danger again, how will they feel? ”
The reason why He Xian sent a secret letter to the clans in Nanyang was purely to rely on their layers of resistance to slow down the Yellow Turban Army's attempt to grow rapidly and add security to his own safety, rather than Li Yan's understanding of the sympathy for not being uprooted by these clans. However, Li Yan's concept of running the Nanyang area after the war is still very positive. In He Xian's thoughts, these families always put their own interests first and are not worth relying on. But on the other hand, He Xian wants to have a complete base in the Nanyang area, and it is impossible to achieve it without the support of these clans. The Yellow Turban Army will destroy again, kill people again, and the people who will recover their strength the fastest after the war will still be the descendants of these great families. Because in this era, they have a monopoly on land, a monopoly on knowledge, a monopoly on connections, that is, a monopoly on absolute power! It is too difficult for civilians or Hanshi to develop quickly. Commoners and poor men are destined to become the majority of this society, to be exploited and ruled, and to run for a lifetime for a bite of food and a pitiful freedom.
He Xian savored and listened to the inner meaning of Li Yan's words. made a fortune, He Xian naturally will not retreat. However, in ancient and modern times, in all walks of life, big profits must mean big risks. What Ho has to consider is whether the gain is worth the risk. Whether the risk is within one's tolerance.
"Brother Fang Zheng means to unite all the forces that can be united?"
"Unite all the forces that can be united?" Hearing the new words that popped out of He Xian's mouth, Li Yan was stunned for a moment, then thought about it, and felt that this sentence was very meaningful. Li Yan persuaded He Xian to take advantage of the troubled times to make friends with the family and lay a foundation for future development. But He Xian wants to make friends with "all the powers"? What is all power? If we say that the power of the "scholar" class represented by the great clans of the family, then all the forces should be the strength of all classes, including "scholars, farmers, industrialists, and merchants". Thinking of this, Li Yan's heart couldn't help but get hot! The son who followed him has an ordinary vision!
He Xian naturally didn't know that a famous quote he casually applied could make Li Yansheng have so many feelings.
"What's more, through the mouths of the Nanyang families, Gongzi can get something more important: name!" Li Yan struck while the iron was hot and continued.
"Name?"
"That's right! Childe, don't underestimate the word fame! Nanyang is just a small place, and the future of Gongzi is in Luoyang, in the entire Han Prefecture! And fame is the biggest capital of the child! Through the war in Nanyang, through the mouths of the families in Nanyang, the reputation of the prince was spread to every inch of the land that the sun could shine on in the Han Dynasty! See the big with the small, and know the small. That's what I'm talking about! ”
"Reputation?"
He Xian suddenly realized that whether it was to help the family or to win a good reputation praised by the world, the power he now had was greater than he imagined. Even his subordinates realized that they could do more with the power in their hands. Why can't you do more?
As the saying goes, the greater the ability, the greater the responsibility!
He Xian now needs to think about more than just saving his family's lives.
The current situation requires him to do more things and take more responsibilities!
"Brother Fang Zheng, where did the plan come from?"
"One word: war!"
