Chapter 230: Internal and external troubles disturb the mind
"Xue Xin's ability is not enough, especially Goguryeo's strong momentum, relying on his own strength, it is impossible to resist, and we are about to travel far away, we can't adapt to the times, so we must make a layout in advance. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info" A hint of worry appeared between Zhang Ying's eyebrows.
"What my sister said is good, Goguryeo doesn't dare to violate the realm now, but it doesn't mean that he is always honest, he can't hurt people, and he can't do without the intention of guarding against people!" Yu Bing also agreed to strengthen Yitong.
"So who's the best fit?" Li Yi thought for a moment to no avail, and had to set his eyes on the second daughter.
"Liu Ping." Yu Bing said without thinking: "He bit the sheepskin with Xue Xingou in small things, and he had pimples. But when it comes to major events, the two will abandon their previous suspicions, after all, one head is on the ground, and the relationship is different. ”
"Yes, it's Liu Ping." Zhang Ying nodded in agreement: "He is clever and wise, and he is also a good one in Jianping." It's just that he rarely participates in military operations, and I'm afraid that he won't be able to use his ideas in the right place. Zhang Ying shook his head helplessly in the end.
In the final analysis, it is still the withering of talents, and because Jianping's family business is a little big, it is true that there are not enough caretakers.
"That's all there is to it." Li Yi pondered for a long time, and nodded a little helplessly.
The more manpower is shortage, the more Li Yi is thirsty for sages, and when he walks out of Jianping, the stronger his desire to search for sages from all over the world. He couldn't wait to fly back to Jianping immediately, arrange many affairs properly, and immediately set off for the Central Plains.
But it backfired, and although he returned to Jianping quickly, he was entangled in many affairs and couldn't get out.
First of all, the drought in Jianping is serious, although Li Yi and others have already been reported, but what they saw with their own eyes still shocked the three of them. Seeing the withered yellow and dwarf crops, Li Yi had the heart to cry, tens of thousands of people had worked hard for a year, wouldn't this be a waste?
Vigorously developing water conservancy and turning dry land into paddy fields is a project that Li Yi has long grasped and focused on implementing. However, the foundation is thin, there are few rivers, and there is a lack of water conservancy experts, so the progress of this project is slow.
Looking at the crops on the banks of Wuhou Qinshui and Raoleshui, which are green and stout, and the growth is very lovely, Li Yi is even more determined to transform the fields. In any case, it is necessary to take action as soon as possible to dig ditches and wells so that the peasants can be guaranteed.
I can't eat hot tofu in a hurry, I bite back and eat one bite at a time, the field needs to be changed one acre at a time, no matter how anxious Li Yi is, he can only wait patiently.
Fortunately, the harvest of the previous year was excellent, and every family had surplus grain, plus the income of the military tun and the accumulation of the government treasury, it would not be a problem to survive this year, even if there was a large-scale harvest this year, the people would not starve to death. If there is one or two rains soon, fifty percent of the year can still be guaranteed.
Another piece of bad news is that the news of Li Yi's occupation of Buyeo was transmitted to the Han court through the mouth of the Taishou of Xuansu County.
Afraid that there would be nothing to do in the neighboring counties, Li Yi had already placed spy personnel everywhere to monitor the every move of the county guards. And the political erosion of the Han Dynasty provided many convenient factors for Li Yi to obtain information, and the Taishou of Xuansu County over there just sent a report, and the fast horse here also came out of Xuansu, and rushed to Jianping.
"If Liu Hong learns that Buyeo has been destroyed, how should he respond? Can you send troops to attack me Jianping? "Li Yi hates the faint monarch to the bone, but the big man is a hundred-legged insect that dies but does not stiffen, and it is full of talents, but it is buried in the Quartet, if it really fights with himself, the capable and brave generals are not on the side of the faint monarch?
The well-known Wenchen military general, but Li Yi is extremely jealous, even Zhang Ying also has hidden worries. To be able to defeat Tanshi Huai, it is three points of strength and seven points of luck. What about Liu Hong? The Han is not just a million people, there has not been a major war now, there are always 50 million people, and against the Han, Li Yi really doesn't have the guts.
"Well...... this" Zhang Ying pondered, and after a long time, his big eyes flashed and said: "Now Liu Hong has entered middle age, and he is only a few years away from death, and it is foreseeable that his health is not good. More is better than less, even if he learns the news, this weak emperor will not raise the whole country to fight our little-known little Jianping. ”
"Yes, Liu Hong is mediocre and incompetent, but he has been entrenched on the throne for more than ten years, intrigues, and balanced courtiers, and he should also practice well. He will not ruin his beautiful country because of the newly rising extraterritorial forces, Liu Hong is not so stupid, he hasn't enjoyed it enough! There was a sneering smile on the corner of Yu Bing's mouth.
"The analysis of the two makes sense, and it seems that Liu Hong will not make a big move easily. But only if we don't threaten and don't attack his territory. Li Yi agreed with the second daughter's analysis, but did not accept it all. The Han Dynasty is full of talents, and the treacherous Cao Cao is in the capital at the moment, and those well-known strategists also have several adult careers, and fierce generals such as Lu Bu and Dian Wei have also grown up, but Liu Hong doesn't know people, and these people can't be reused, otherwise tens of thousands of soldiers and horses can wipe out the small Jianping.
In addition to internal and external troubles, there is another thing that bothers Li Yi. When the three tribes of Xianbei in the central part returned to their own territory, they began to fight openly and secretly, until now they have fought a lot, and the cunning Murong Temple has won successive battles and gradually gained an advantage.
This is a tricky problem, if you don't intervene and wait for Murong Temple to destroy the other two marshals, then the next target is very likely to be Jianping.
If the three of them can't come back, it's really hard to say whether Zhao Yun and Su Li can resist this strong enemy alone. For the sake of insurance, Zhang Ying advocated supporting the weak and suppressing the strong, secretly supported Ke Shi and Que Ju, and temporarily maintained the balance of the three forces of Xianbei in the central region.
Several major problems have been solved, and the rest are trivial things, which can be handled by Zhao Yun, Zhen Yu, etc., so there is no need for Li Yi and others to ask in person.
After arranging family affairs, Li Yi took his two wives and a tun of elite soldiers to embark on the road to the south. There were no words all the way, and this day I came to Wuji County.
After placing the remaining eighty elites in the inn, the three of them rushed to Zhen's house. Since Jianping brought out 100 people, there were important matters on the way, and the 20 soldiers were divided into two groups and reserved in two important military places to secretly carry out special tasks, so the personnel was gradually reduced to 80 sergeants.
The name of the Wuji Zhen family is three points louder than two years ago, and if you stomp on it in Jizhou, the land of the Central Plains will tremble. Since taking over Jianping's business, the strength of the Zhen family has grown rapidly, from Jianping through Youzhou, and then with Jizhou as a springboard, diverging to Qingzhou, Xuzhou, Sili, Yuzhou, Yanzhou and other states and counties, the business network dominated by military horses has spread to every corner of the Central Plains.
