In fact, Song Zhen was not very optimistic about Liu Qi at first, in his opinion, Liu Qi has been reckless in the past two years, which has brought a lot of war and chaos to Jingzhou, and made Jingzhou, which was originally rich and stable, slowly become turbulent. If it weren't for the fact that the other party reused himself to preside over the school education in Jingzhou, Song Zhen, who had always advocated Xiuren to preach the royal way, would have resigned a long time ago.

However, after pacifying Jiangdong recently, the series of methods used by the lord Liu Qi to develop the economy and calm the people's hearts really made him somewhat admired.

First of all, the Juntian Order, which was implemented for just over half a year, allowed two or three hundred thousand people to obtain land, not only allowing those Shanyue, barbarians and other barbarian tribes who did not obey the king to join them from then on, but also recruited many people from the Central Plains and Jingyangjiao to reclaim wasteland in the border areas, and Jingzhou's wealth once again became the world's leader.

What touched Song Zhen the most was that for the first time in history, the lord Liu Qi clearly put forward the strategy of attaching importance to education, and also put forward a slogan of "a hundred years of planning, education-oriented" and "ten years of trees, a hundred years of people", and re-advocated the idea of heaven and earth monarchs and teachers, which made him sincerely feel the pride of being a Confucian student.

What particularly touched him was that Liu Qi's emphasis on education was not reflected in the slogan, but in his own hands, starting from the restoration of county schools, and then gradually expanding to county schools and township schools, knowing that he donated money and materials to contribute to the establishment of schools in various places.

Now Liu Qi has done his best to develop such a wonderful technology as printing, which can make most students who are studying have scriptures in their hands to read, which is simply immeasurable!

Therefore, for the first time in his life, Song Zhen was so absorbed in a person that he automatically ignored the idea that the printing press was a strange skill.

Song Zhen was excited, he didn't know how he returned to the office, and when he saw Sima Hui, Pang Degong and others, he immediately made his thoughts public.

Sima Hui and the others were naturally excited, and immediately planned to contact Han Ji and Zuo Bo and others first, and then invite carpenters to make pieces of book plates according to the size of the paper, and under the personal supervision and proofreading of these Confucians, the wooden boards were carved into a version of the text, and then painted with ink, and then they took out the treasured paper and experimented with it themselves, until they saw that the white paper was full of regular handwriting, and then they finally became excited and danced.

"I really didn't expect to be able to do it, the method that the lord came up with is indeed magical." Even Sima Hui couldn't help but nod his head and sigh when he saw this scene: "I didn't expect the lord to have this ability, such an idea is really amazing, it is even better than the girl of the Huang family, if it weren't for Song Zhongzi guarding on the side, we would definitely think that this idea was conceived by the girl of the Huang family." Hehe, in this way, students all over the world are expected to study, which is really a great event for people studying in the world. ”

Of course, Sima Hui did not know that the invention of printing technology had pushed Chinese civilization forward for hundreds of years, which was indeed a great event, and such a major event would have a profound impact on the course of historical development and make the history of the Han Dynasty more brilliant and glorious through the ages.

And they didn't know that their lord was talking to Feng Ji, the envoy sent by Yuan Shao, with a smile on his face.

It turned out that Yan Liang and Wen Chou were killed before, and the morale of Yuan Shao's army was frustrated, and then he entered a stalemate battle with Cao Cao, the two sides were protracted, and neither could defeat the other, Yuan Shao gradually lost his breath, and the gloomy color on his face became more and more prosperous.

At this moment, Yuan Shao's adviser Guo Tu took the opportunity to say: "Feng Yuantu said to the lord before, send more gifts and beauties to Liu Qi, and let him attack Xuchang from behind to cooperate with our army, Liu Qi promised to send troops to attack Xuchang in the spring of this year, but now half a year has passed, but we have never seen the slightest movement of Liu Qi's army. ”

As soon as Feng Ji heard Guo Tu's words, and saw Yuan Shao's face as black as the bottom of a pot, he suddenly felt frightened and broke out in a cold sweat. Because he knew that the lord Yuan Shao had always been suspicious, and now he went south to Guandu with 100,000 heroes, not only did he lose the general Yan Liangwen and his ugliness, but the army also had no proud achievements, and he was about to find an excuse to vent, but now after listening to Guo Tu's slander, he was afraid that his life would be in danger.

Thinking of this, Feng Ji hurriedly stepped forward, knelt on the ground, and said with sincere fear: "Please let the last general say a word, and it is not too late to deal with the last general after he finishes speaking." ”

Seeing Yuan Shao nodded, Feng Ji secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and said slowly: "The lord should know that the right general is not deliberately not helping the lord, but is really a bit beyond the reach of the whip, please think about it, in the first few days, the threat of the Jiangdong Sun clan is everywhere, the right general rose up to the aftermath, and the people of the three armies pacified Jiangdong, and then regardless of the fatigue of the three armies, he sent Zhou Yu to lead 30,000 troops to enter the Xinye and Anzhong areas just after the war, the intention is obvious, that is, to fulfill the promise, and want to attack Xuchang to cooperate with the lord. ”

I saw that Yuan Shao's face softened slightly, but he still asked: "In this case, why didn't Liu Qi lead the army to attack Xuchang, but instead stayed still for nearly half a year?" ”

Feng Ji's spirit lifted slightly, and then he pretended to be indignant and said: "Lord, it's not that General Right is unwilling to lead the army to the battle, it's really because of Liu Bei. ”

Seeing Yuan Shao's face full of puzzlement, he asked suspiciously: "Xuande Gong?" What does this have to do with him? ”。

Feng Ji continued to say with a look of righteous indignation: "The lord mistakenly believed in the traitor. At the beginning, the lord kindly sent him to Nanyang and supported him to achieve meritorious deeds, but he didn't expect that this big-eared thief would no longer obey the lord after he got Nanyang, not only did not cooperate with us to attack Xuchang, but led the army to attack Guanzhong, the lord and listened to the title he added to himself, Si Lixiao, Yongzhou Mu, and the general of the car cavalry, which clearly showed that he no longer obeyed the lord's orders, and the lord should know that Guan Yu, who guarded Nanyang, had no less than 20,000 elite soldiers, and Xuchang was less than 5,000 people, and he never led his troops to capture, not only that, His Nanyang defenders were also blocked in the areas of Suixian, Nieyang, and Jianyang, clearly preventing the right general's army from going north to Xuchang. ”

Yuan Shao was originally a person who swayed from side to side, and after listening to Feng Ji's words, he couldn't help nodding yes, and then patted the case and said: "Liu Xuande is really cunning, and it is really hateful that I treat him so sincerely, and I am so treacherous." ”

Feng Ji saw that Yuan Shao was moved by what he said, and he was secretly happy in his heart, but on the surface, he still followed Yuan Shao's words and said: "Actually, Liu Bei is such a person, and the lord doesn't have to be angry." I think that Liu Bei was attached to Tao Qian, but took advantage of the danger of others, and seized Xuzhou after Tao Qian's death, and later attached to Lu Bu, but secretly united with Cao Cao and conspired with Lu Bu, and then later, Liu Bei surrendered to Cao Cao, but killed Cao Cao's Xuzhou Assassin Shi Che Guan, and captured Xuzhou, and then although he was attached to the lord on the surface, he persuaded Guan Yu to seize Nanyang, and now he has the land of Guanzhong, and his morale is even stronger. ”

"Hmph, thief dares!" Yuan Shao was even more angry when he heard this, and then asked Feng Jidao: "Yuan Tu, according to you, how should we deal with the traitor Liu Xuande?" ”

Feng Ji said: "According to the plan of the last general, we should first urge Liu Qi to seize Nanyang, and then rely on him to attack Xuchang, so that we can not only retaliate against Liu Bei, but also let Liu Qi attack Xuchang, and achieve strategic cooperation with us, at the same time, we can also create contradictions, let Liu Bei, Cao Cao and Liu Qi create contradictions in the Central Plains, and we will take advantage of the chaos to occupy the land of Henan, in order to achieve the cause of the king." ”

Yuan Shao was overjoyed when he heard this, and immediately ordered Feng Ji to go to Xiangyang with a generous gift, urging Liu Qi to attack Xuchang.

And after Feng Ji arrived in Xiangyang, he was no longer as cautious as he was in Yangwu, but as soon as he saw Liu Qi, he reproached: "Why did you not believe what you said? ”

Liu Qi smiled. Then spread his hands and said: "The general is also helpless, Mr. Yuantu should know that the general will immediately order the army to march into Xinye as soon as the war in Jiangdong is over, but the army of Guan Yu in front of him is blocking the road, our army cannot go to Xuchang, Liu Bei, the lord of Guan Yu, is the same as the general, and he is also an ally of the general, so the general can't lead the army to break through, right?" In this way, how should the general view me? ”

But he saw Feng Ji open his mouth and said: "This time the lower official came to see the envoy, the main thing is to inform the envoy of the general's decision-making, the general said: Liu Bei disregarded the righteousness of the alliance and did not pay attention to the faith, and now he has betrayed the general, and specially ordered the envoy to lead the army to occupy Nanyang, and at the same time cooperate with the general to break through Xuchang, then the general will form an alliance with the envoy Jun Yong, and will never turn his back." The general also ordered the officials to present a small gift for the envoy, which was ten thousand pieces of money, ten thousand silk horses, a number of jade, costumes, treasures, books and other things, and hundreds of beauties. ”

Feng Ji waved his hand, and saw dozens of large boxes in the house, which were filled with copper coins, silk silks, jade, Chinese clothes and other things, and saw hundreds of beautiful women Tingting curling and coming to pay tribute to him.

Liu Qi knew that only by accepting the gift could he reassure the other party, so with a wave of his hand, he ordered someone to accept the gift, and placed these beauties in the mansion and handed them to Mrs. Kuai Ruyu.

"Please Mr. Yuantu inform the general that the general will definitely capture Nanyang, capture Xuchang, and complete the general's explanation." Liu Qi was like a philistine, his eyes turned green when he saw these gifts, and he immediately patted his chest and said.

"In this way, there is a labor envoy." Feng Ji did not dislike Liu Qi's greed for money, but expressed his understanding of this, and at the same time felt more fortunate, because if the other party was not greedy, what would he rely on in exchange for his consent?

Feng Ji saw that he had successfully completed the task, and just wanted to say goodbye and leave, but heard Liu Qi say: "Mr. Qi Gan Yuantu is gracious, now there is a major matter related to his life that he wants to persuade Mr., I don't know if Mr. is willing to listen?" ”
