Although Zhang Ning is a woman, she once learned a certain amount of Taoism with her father as a saint of Taiping Dao.

However, Taoism involves a lot of things, among which there will definitely be academics such as the Book of Changes, and the Book of Changes includes academics such as physiognomy and feng shui.

She said that she is very proficient in these aspects of academics or she doesn't want to go, but at least she knows a little bit about one or two, and many times, she will care about whether the people around her are worthy of Liu Yi's trust.

Don't talk about the Wenchen generals around her, even if it is a woman next to Liu Yi, she will pay attention to it, and some, if the woman said in the calculation is incompatible with Liu Yi's life. Zhang Ning will pay proper attention to it, or he will make some objects. For example, get some amulets for Liu Yi to wear, or go to some Taoist temples to pray for Liu Yi or something.

Speaking of these things, or many people will not believe it, Liu Yi himself, in his heart, will not believe too much, it's just that Liu Yi's own existence is an inexplicable thing, so let's hold a half-believing mentality and don't interfere too much with Zhang Ning's behavior.

Don't say that Liu Yixiang doesn't believe it, letting Zhang Ning do this seems to make Zhang Ning feel at ease.

In fact, many of the women around Liu Yi are really superstitious, such as Mrs. Zhang, and even Queen He Wan, who worship God and worship temples every fifteenth day of the new year.

These, or maybe it's also a tradition in China, Liu Yi didn't interfere too much with their behavior.

Of course, if there were people in the New Han Dynasty who gathered believers to do bad things in the name of religion, Liu Yi would resolutely crack down. Such as Taiping Dao, Hanzhong Zhang Lu's five buckets of rice or something. Religions with a political nature, Liu Yi will resolutely not allow these sects to have room to survive.

A few years ago, in the annex state. Because of the drought, a water dragon Taoism emerged, and they started the actions of Cai Tian and Cai Yu, Cai He or something, and once developed to the point of using living people to Cai River God. Such a sect, Liu Yi personally ordered those minds to be arrested. Executed in public. At the same time, send people to propagate some positive Taoist teachings to those believers, so that those deceived people can understand. The drought is just a natural phenomenon, and it is not a river god or a god of heaven punishing the world. Let those deceived believers understand that they have encountered a time of drought. It is foolish to pray for rain from heaven. The key lies in how to use your own hands to solve some of the difficulties that really exist.

In fact, under the policy of paying special attention to the people's livelihood in the New Han Dynasty, the government will definitely not ignore the people in the affected areas, and the Ministry of Industry of the Imperial Court, since its establishment to the present, does not know how to mobilize the masses for the locality. How much water conservancy has been excavated to irrigate farmland. Those areas that have not been properly managed for the time being, the people who have been affected by the disaster. You will also receive relief from the imperial court, as well as rent-free and interest-free in disaster years.

It can be said that even if a few areas are severely affected by the disaster and the people have no harvest, there is no need to worry too much about their survival.

Under such circumstances, there are still those activities of Cai He, which is definitely some guys with bad intentions and disrupting the normal life order of the people in the disaster-stricken areas of the New Han Dynasty. Such a sect is not enough to die.

It's far away, mentioning this, but Liu Yi has set a general direction for most of the civil affairs of the New Han Dynasty over the years, and then the specific ones are implemented by the officials of the New Han Dynasty and improve the system in all aspects of society.

It's easy to say, but it's really hard to do. Governing a country, tens of millions of people, there will be problems in all aspects. Many things are about to be done when everything is in ruins, but when life is stable and prosperous, many new problems will arise. How to properly resettle and gradually improve a good social system will be a long-term problem.

For example, Liu Yi is now in Anzhong County, and at present, it is not too easy to deal with the people's livelihood problems.

In Anzhong County, there are 100,000 to 200,000 people in the county seat, and if you add the nearby towns and villages, the population will be even more.

And because Liu Biao built this Jingzhou defense line, the damage to the nearby people was relatively great, and the changes of the people were more frequent, making the Jingzhou people near the Jingzhou defense line unstable and their living standards plummeting, and they had reached a point of extreme poverty. In particular, thousands of miles of red land nearby, many people were requisitioned to build the Jingzhou defense line, so that they abandoned their operations, the fields were overgrown with weeds, and it was the season of green and yellow, and it was estimated that the people in these places would really have to hemorrhage if the New Han Dynasty wanted to govern the people in these places.

In particular, the officials sent by the New Han Dynasty have submitted some questions, and for the time being, I am afraid that it may be difficult to even do the work of registering the registered population. Because, the people in these areas were transferred by the government to build a defensive wall, many people died, and they were all disrupted, and there were only some old and weak women and children in the people's homes, and the young and strong men of their families have not returned home, and their lives and deaths are unknown.

In a few months' time, I am afraid that if we do not want to do this work well, but if we cannot do a good job in the registration of this registered population, then it will be difficult to carry out other work.

Therefore, Liu Yi can only transfer more living materials from Luoyang in the New Han Dynasty now, so that these people can survive first.

This is only the situation in Anzhong County, and what about Jiaxia County? What about other counties?

At present, Liu Yi can only control these areas first, suppress the rout of Jingzhou and some mobs as much as possible, and then use guò propaganda means to let those people return to their places of origin as soon as possible, so as to cooperate with the work of the New Han Dynasty government.

At this time, because Gan Ning, Huang Zhong, Huang Xu and other generals had already taken control of the Xiangjiang River, Liu Yi was not too eager about when to seize Xiangyang. Liu Yi believed that under the pressure of the New Han Army, Xiangyang should not dare to fight with the New Han Army again, maintain the coercion of Xiangyang, and their surrender was a matter of early delay. Therefore, there is no need for Liu Yi to immediately send troops to forcibly seize Xiangyang.

What is needed now is to guard against Cao Cao's army and cut off Cao Cao's connection with Jingzhou, like this. No matter how scheming Cao Cao is, in this life, he will never want to get Xiangyang again.

He returned to his lodging with the girls. After taking a bath, Liu Yi hid comfortably on the bed, his head resting on a woman's snow-white soft thighs, and two women were pounding his legs for Liu Yi to relieve his muscles and nerves.

Yin Xiao also finished bathing, wearing a pink embroidered silk nightdress, designed by Liu Yi. Let a group of women who are good at female celebrity specially made suspender nightdresses wear on Yin Xiao's body, and it really sets off her perfect figure.

Crisp chest and angry. Where the chest is opened, there is a snow-white, crystal clear skin, like a delicate tofu.

When she walked over. That pair of angry peaks. Swinging one by one, as if rippling with the waves.

"Husband, there is a military intelligence sent from Jizhou, do you want to listen to it now?" Yin Xiao held a stack of rice paper in his hand and raised Liu Yiyang, who was lying on the bed.

"Oh? Let's take a look. Liu Yi sat up, leaned his head on the woman's crisp chest behind him, and said with a slight tilted face.

Behind Lewy. It was Huang Wudie who pillowed Liu Yi's thighs, and Zhang Ning and Cai's people who beat Liu Yi's legs on the left and right.

"Since the end of last year. In the vicinity of Dezhou County, after the burning of Yuan Shao's 300,000 troops, the eastern part of the Jizhou Plain, and the northern areas, such as Nanpi, Leling, Bohai and other cities, have been completely under the control of our army. Years later, General Zhao Zilong led his army to occupy Changshan, recovered the entire territory of Changshan, and divided his troops to attack Anbang, Anguo, Boling, Hejian and other places, defeated Yuan's army, and forced Yuan Shao's army and horses to retreat back to Xindu City. In addition, General Tai Shici broke through the defense line of Yuan's army, marched out of Montenegro, defeated Yuan Shao's army in the eastern part of Heishan, and then recovered Zhao. ”

"Julu County, the people of its place, have always been grateful for your kindness, after General Tai Shici seized Zhaoguo County, the people of his county, under the leadership of the local government, revolted and submitted to us."

"On the other hand, General Gongsun Zhan, with a force of 100,000, has advanced more than 100 miles south along the plain county, captured Gaotang, and entered Huaxian."

Liu Yi listened, and the situation in Jizhou was imaged in his mind.

"Oh?" Liu Yi closed his eyes and thought about the location of his various armies now, and couldn't help but sit up all of a sudden, and said in surprise: "In this way, doesn't it mean that the Yuan Shao army and horses in Xindu City, Jizhou are already surrounded by our New Han Army?" ”

"Hehe, exactly, generals, the military information sent now is to report to you, husband." Yin Xiao put the rice paper in his hand on the desk in front of the bed, then lifted his snow-white thighs, stepped on the bed, sat next to Liu Yi, and said with a smile: "Then Yuan Shao was a little anxious when he saw that his military horses in Xindu City were about to be surrounded by the New Han army." In fact, when Pingyuan County fell into our hands, and after General Tai Shici went out of Montenegro, it was equivalent to Yuan Shao's military horses in the north had been cut off by us, Yuan Shao saw this, he knew that his general trend had gone, and he did not dare to let his army stay in Xindu City to defend it, he had to give up the position in the north of Jizhou, the whole army retreated, took the initiative to withdraw from Xindu City, and then withdrew the army back to Yangping through Qinghe Jingguan Tao. However, the more than 200,000 troops left by Yuan Shao in Xindu City, in the process of retreat, were pursued by General Tai Shici and General Zhao Zilong respectively, and killed countless Yuan troops, and it is estimated that the Yuan army that fled back to Yangping County was less than 100,000. ”

"Good! As a result, the entire north-central region of Jizhou has been recovered. Liu Yi was so happy that he pulled Yin Xiao over and kissed her delicate face a few times.

"Husband, don't be too happy." Yin Xiao glanced at Liu Yi and said: "It is said that the emaciated camel is bigger than the horse, then Yuan Shao has an army of millions after all, even if he fights with Cao Cao and is wiped out by so many military horses in our company, he can still recruit hundreds of thousands of troops." This is the case now. ”

Yin Xiao gestured and said: "Originally, on the Jizhou Plain, our cavalry army was much more elite than Yuan Shao's army, and with our cavalry, we could defeat Yuan Shao's military horses on the plain." However, on the line from Handan, Guangping, Yangping to Huaxian, there are many rivers in the south of Jizhou, all of which are tributaries of the Yellow River that flow into the Yellow River from the Taihang Mountains. Yuan Shao is now almost doing everything he can, even ignoring Cao Cao behind him, and accumulating a large army in Handan, Guangping, Yangping, and Huaxian, wanting to take advantage of the river to prevent our army from moving south. Now, our New Han Army is fighting against Yuan Shao's army. ”

"Well, in this way, if you want to defeat Yuan Shao, you have to have a big battle." Liu Yi rubbed his head.

"What do you say, Yuan Shao is not Liu Biao, although he is also a straw bag, but. He has been defeated and defeated again and again, and he has never refused to admit defeat. Did he suffer less at your hands at the beginning? Who just won't bow down to you? Anyway. People also think that if he doesn't give Yuan Shao a ruthless blow and doesn't give him the final blow, he will definitely not give up. He will definitely not be defeated by us so lightly like Liu Biao's Jingzhou army. The Jingzhou army in Xiangyang is afraid and does not dare to fight with us again. Yin Xiao said according to his own opinion.

"There's a little more truth to that. Yuan Shao...... Well, I guess he's not far from death......" Leo Yi said with a sigh.

Historically. Yuan Shao died in front of Liu Biao, but in this life, Liu Biao and Liu Bei died. This guy is still resisting. It seems that people who grew up in wealthy families really have a sense of superiority in their bones, and they refuse to bow to others.

"That's right. So what happened to Cao Cao's army? Leo Yi thought about it and asked.

"There was no change. Isn't Cao Cao on the other side of our Anzhong County now? Cao Cao probably saw that our Xinhan army was strong, and our main army was in Youzhou and Jizhou, considering that even if he sent troops to help Yuan Shao, or even sent troops to destroy Yuan Shao from behind, he might not be able to occupy Jizhou. Thankless work, Cao Cao will not do. What's more, Yuan Shao did not respond to Cao Cao's call at all and did not form an alliance with Cao Cao. He also maintained a hostile attitude towards Cao Cao. Under such circumstances, how could Cao Cao send troops to Jizhou? ”

"That's right. I didn't expect Sister Yin Xiao that you could see it quite thoroughly. Liu Yi said approvingly: "Speaking of which, it is still the superiority in Yuan Shao's heart that is worshipping, I heard that he once wanted to take refuge in Cao Cao, but he put a cold ass on his hot face and was treated coldly by Cao Cao." Just imagine, with the pride in Yuan Shao's heart, being able to have such a thought already made him feel embarrassed. If he didn't get Cao Cao's kind response, Yuan Shao would break the jar and make up his mind to fight with our New Han Army. ”

"Husband, you don't know this, at that time, if it was your husband, you probably wouldn't have accepted Yuan Shao's refuge. You must know that Yuan Shaojun does not seem to be the enemy of our New Han Army, but he still has an army of hundreds of thousands, and he has so many military horses in his hands, who dares to believe it when he says that he wants to take refuge in others? Throughout the dynasties, which princes have the strength to win the world, will sincerely take refuge in others? Yin Xiao is worthy of being an intelligence department for Liu Yi, and she knows a lot of things, she said: "But if this is the case, either they themselves will not have a good end in the future, or the master they voted for will not have a good end." Look at the time of Gaozu, Han Xin, Yingbu, etc., are not the princes of one side, what happened to Gaozu who voted for him? This is called a lesson from the past. With such an example, Cao Cao knew that even if Yuan Shao took refuge in himself, he would inevitably guard against himself, worried that he would be like Gao Zu, and in the end he would fly all the birds and dogs, so in such a situation, Yuan Shao dared to vote, but Cao Cao might not dare to accept. ”

Listening to Yin Xiao's words, Liu Yi thought of Jizhou Han Fu at the beginning, he just didn't want to vote for himself, and finally died.

Now, the princes who can really serve themselves are only Gongsun Zhan, and Gongsun Zhan, he is a military general, and he has reached the point of exhaustion, before, he had a little relationship with him, so that he could take refuge in himself. Others, such as Ma Chao and Sun Ce, although they are barely considered to be a prince, but in fact, they have not really dug up, so they will be willing to submit to themselves.

Kong Rong doesn't count, Liu Yi has always thought that he is playing soy sauce.

Judging from Yuan Shao's matter, Liu Yi understands a truth, that is, a prince, under normal circumstances, I am afraid that they would rather die than surrender to others, because surrender may also be a dead end.

This, or it was also a former superior, will not be willing to be subordinate to others. Just like the overlord of Western Chu and Liu Bang. I'd rather die than bend down and surrender.

"It seems that we can still catch up with Yuan Shao, so let me give Yuan Shao a ride." Liu Yidao: "In any case, Yuan Shao can also be regarded as a hero of today's times, and the princes who were able to hold millions of military horses at one time are worthy of respect." Even as an opponent and enemy, I personally went to give him a ride, and let him die as he deserved. ”

"Huh? Husband, are you going to Jizhou now? Sitting aside, Cai's family, who was relieved of Liu Yi's bones, raised her head a little unexpectedly when she heard that Liu Yi planned to go to Jizhou.

Liu Yi knew her thoughts, reached out and stroked her cheek, and said with a smile: "Sister Cai, don't worry, the matter of Jingzhou may have results these days, when the time comes, I will accompany you into Xiangyang City and find Liu Cong for you, and then I will go to Jizhou." I have already made arrangements for Liu Cong's affairs, and I believe it will be fine. ”

"Really?"

"When did the husband lie to you? Don't believe in your husband? Hmph, get punished. ”

"Ah...... Punishment is punished, people are still afraid of you? Cai's eyes were glaring, but he was not afraid of Liu Yi's so-called "punishment".

"Aren't you afraid? Hehe, Sister Yin Xiao, Sister Zhang Ning, then let's go together, give Sister Cai a little color and ask her if she is afraid. ”

"Huh? Don't, Yin Xiao, Zhang Ning...... Don't ......" Cai wanted to escape from the bed, but Yin Xiao and Zhang Ning took her by one hand and pulled her back to the bed.

"Gege...... Sister Cai, you should accept the punishment well, we can't disobey our husband. ”

Yin Xiao prankfully ripped off Cai's nightdress, and An Lu's claws grabbed the pair of roundness. (To be continued......)
