Chapter 229: Calculations of the Parties March Spring Ploughing
Li Cunhuan is not only targeted by Zhu Wen now, although Li Cunhuan defeated Li Keyong in Hebei in the past, forcing Li Keyong to choose to negotiate peace with Li Cunhuan. In Qizhou, defeated Zhu Wen, and then used Li Ke to blackmail Zhu Wen with the opportunity of invading Luoyang, and also signed a peace treaty, but these are all because of Li Cunhuan's left and right.
You said that you can't beat Li Cunhuan, it's not that you can't beat it, you can consume Li Cunhuan to death, but the problem is that if you defeat Li Cunhuan, you need to do your best, and you will be reaped by the other party. What's more, Li Cunhuan is very measured, and every attack is basically taking advantage. Li Keyong and Zhu Wen regard each other as enemies of life and death, and naturally let go of Li Cunhuan's scabies disease temporarily. But since Li Cunhuan swept Liaodong, everyone's attitude towards Li Cunhuan has been different.
The Khitan, who was originally beaten by Li Cunhuan and did not dare to invade Lu Long, behaved more deferentially.
Bohai did not dare to trouble Li Cunhuan.
Zhu Wen and Li Keyong were even more vigilant, they had already seen Li Cunhuan's potential.
In addition, in terms of strength, Li Cunhuan obtained the former homeland of Goguryeo, Baekje, and Silla. Especially in Goguryeo, in the past, it was said that Goguryeo raised 300,000 soldiers, plus the lands of Silla and Baekje, Li Cunhuan did not dare to say that he raised 500,000 soldiers, but it was more than enough to raise 200,000 soldiers. In this way, Li Cunhuan is no longer a prince who can only or can only choose to take advantage.
In March, Kang Junli, who had been thinking hard about countermeasures against the newly established Great Qin for three months, approached Li Keyong.
Li Keyong was playing with his son Li Cunqiao at this time, and the game is a very popular game, and the biggest feature is that the result of the game is to exchange money, which is the most attractive to large families.
Li Keyong was suppressed by Li Cunqiao with a sad face, and as soon as he saw Kang Jun coming, he immediately turned his worries into joy. Secretly glancing at his son, who was contemplating in the game, Li Keyong raised his head and said with a look of freshly awakened eyes: "Ah! It's Li'er! What's the matter! ”
As he spoke, he left his seat very naturally, Li Cunqiao was slightly stunned, and he couldn't react. By the time Li Cunmiao reacted, Li Keyong had already slipped away. Li Cunmiao couldn't help but shout dissatisfiedly: "Father! ”
"Ahem! Cough! National affairs matter! Let's talk about what there is to wait for the lonely king to have time! Li Ke, who had already walked out of the side hall, replied in a serious voice. As he spoke, he quickened his pace and took the hand of Kang Junli, who wanted to laugh but didn't dare to laugh, and walked into the side hall next door. On the side, the servant who had already had an organic spirit brought tea and pastries to the two.
"Li'er, what is the matter with your search for a father?" Li Keyong asked in a serious manner, although he had the intention of playing tricks just now, Li Keyong also saw that Kang Junli really had something to find him.
"The child is here for Li Cunhuan." Kang Junli replied with a solemn expression.
(Alas!) These two guys, Li Keyong is only forty-one years old, Kang Junli is fifty years old, Kang Junli actually has the cheekiness to recognize Li Keyong as his adoptive father, and Li Keyong is embarrassed to call Li'er, who can be his eldest brother. Shameless! Li Cunhuan. Hearing this name, Li Keyong's face involuntarily became more solemn, and his left hand involuntarily stroked the beard on his cheeks, as if he was sorting out the beard that showed his might.
Kang Junli, who has been following Li Ke for more than 20 years, doesn't know that Li Keyong has some habits, and whenever he encounters someone who makes him jealous or something that makes him cautious, he will involuntarily make this action. It can be seen that Li Cunhuan has become one of Li Ke's enemies.
"The child is going to give Li Cunhuan a hard time this time!" Kang Junli whispered to the side.
"Ruthless? Fear...... I'm afraid it's not good!? Li Cunhuan and I have an agreement, which is clearly written in black and white, and the two sides are not allowed to launch any form of attack on each other for any reason for three years. Li Ke said in a slightly distressed tone. The meaning is clear, not that they are unwilling, but that there are no excuses.
Kang Junli was overjoyed when he heard this, what he was most afraid of was not anything else, that is, he was afraid that Li Keyong had not realized Li Cunhuan's threat and potential, and regarded Zhu Wen as his only enemy, which would make Kang Junli annoyed.
Kang Junli pondered for a moment, organized his language, and said, "Father, we can't attack Li Cunhuan, but others can." ”
"Who are you talking about? Chengde Wang Rong? Li Ke raised his eyebrows and asked.
"Definitely! Although Wang Rong is young and smart, he is just a man who keeps his life, and I see him as a person who likes to be left and right. On the contrary, Wang Gao (gao), who had just taken over his father's Wang Chucun, was young and vigorous. In the past, the jurisdiction of the Yiwu Festival envoy included Yingzhou, Mozhou, and Cangzhou in Lulong. However, in order to weaken the unruly three towns of Hebei and provoke the relationship between the three towns, the imperial court assigned Cangzhou to the jurisdiction of the Yichang Jiedu envoy, cut the land of Yizhou and Dingzhou, and built Yingzhou and Mozhou, which belonged to Lulong. I Dao Wang Hao must want to recover these former lands. After all, Yiwu is just a land of two states now, and it is too weak. In the event of a war, there is simply no way to maneuver. Kang Junli said confidently.
Li Keyong frowned, as if he glanced at Kang Junli with some complaint, and said, "Even if Wang Gao has the guts, you say that Li Cunhuan is so simple?" I'm afraid that Wang Gao will turn his head and ask us for help. What is the difference between this fight and not fighting! ”
Kang Junli smiled and said: "Father is too upright, Wang Gao doesn't have this ability, we can send troops to support him, it's just a change of clothes." That Liu Rengong is Lu Long's general, familiar with Lu Long's environment, and he is inseparable from Li Cunhuan. Let him lead the troops to attack Li Cunhuan, which will definitely increase the chances of victory. And Li Cunhuan only needs to fight back, Wang Gao must ask for help, and we will immediately send troops to help. So we're not attacking Lulong. We are just aiding Wang Gao, the envoy of the Yiwu Festival! At this time, Kang Jun laughed at the thief's deception.
Li Keyong also smiled, and then said: "If Li Cunhuan continues to attack, then we will have the name of marching in Hedong, and Li Cunhuan will send people over at that time." I'm afraid it's impossible to tell who's right and who's wrong, and the messenger who sent him is just a tug-of-war with us. We just have to keep sending troops to attack. Ha! Ha! Ha! ”
"I'm afraid that Brother Junli has forgotten Liu Zhijun in Guanzhong." Li Cunmiao didn't know when he came in, and it seemed that the time he came in was not short, otherwise he wouldn't be so clear about the conversation between Li Keyong and Kang Junli.
"Liu Zhijun?" Li Keyong and Kang Junli couldn't help frowning in confusion, not knowing what was so special about Li Cunqiao talking about him.
"During this period of time, Guanzhong was concentrated in the military camp training, and at the same time, he was also buying a large amount of grain and grass from the people, I am afraid that Liu Zhijun had the idea of fighting in the river. After all, Luzhou's defense is too tight, and Zhu Wen will definitely have to open up another path. Li Cunmiao took out a document from his arms, raised it, and placed it on Li Keyong's several cases.
Li Keyong picked it up and looked at it, and said, "It's the intelligence of Heiyatai, there should be nothing wrong." It's a little troublesome this time, and it's nothing to deal with Liu Zhijun, but if you want to deal with Liu Zhijun and calculate Li Cunhuan at the same time, I'm afraid it's ......" Li Keyong said this, shaking his head with regret on his face.
Kang Junli frowned, did not give up easily, and was thinking hard about a way to get the best of both worlds.
Li Cunmiao, who was on the side, smiled easily, knocked on a few cases, and said, "Li Maozhen, don't forget this old fox." Although he did not succeed enough, it was more than enough to defeat things! ”
Kang Junli patted his head and said with a distressed look: "Hey! I forgot about this old guy, although he was defeated by Liu Zhijun, but after a year of recuperation, I'm afraid it's almost fine. ”
"But how do you let this old guy make trouble in Guanzhong? Send someone to unite? I'm afraid that this old guy Li Maozhen is not so obedient. Li Keyong frowned, very distressed.
As soon as Li Ke's voice fell, Li Cunqiao and Kang Junli were already laughing with a relaxed face.
Li Keyong couldn't help but be a little dissatisfied and angry, Lao Tzu is distressed here, you two guys are still embarrassed to laugh. However, one of the two is the biological son of the best successor he regards, and the other is his first strategist and adopted son, Li Keyong did not scold him even if he was angry. However, he still glared at the two of them, expressing the anger in his heart, and seeing what kind of explanation they gave themselves.
"My father doesn't understand Li Maozhen enough!" Li Cunmiao said with a smile.
"Huh?" Li Ke used a puzzled face, pondered for a while, and suddenly had a little understanding, and the anger on his face disappeared a little.
"Although Li Maozhen is quite handsome, he is not decisive enough, and he should be constantly decisive, but he suffers from chaos. The most important thing is that Li Maozhen is a typical person, who has healed his scars and forgotten the pain. He only needs to send someone to bribe Li Maozhen's cronies and let him speak to Li Maozhen, and Li Maozhen will move. I, Hedong, dragged Liu Zhijun's soldiers and horses in the river, and Li Maozhen, who was so moved, would definitely attack his back road, trying to plot the world according to Guanzhong. Kang Junli said to Li Keyong.
However, when talking about Li Maozhen, Kang Junli's face was full of disdain, and it could be seen how inferior Li Maozhen's evaluation was in Kang Junli's eyes.
Li Ke's eyes lit up, and he laughed and said, "That's very good, wait for Liu Zhijun to send troops and then let Wang Gao sneak attack Lu Long." In this way, Li Cunhuan thought that Hedong's power was contained in the river, and he didn't expect that I, Hedong, would send troops to Lu Long at this time. By the time he reacted, it was too late! ”
Li Cunqiao and Kang Junli said in unison: "Father is wise! ”
Li Cunhuan couldn't have imagined that he would give Zhu Wen and Li Keyong ideas successively, and now Li Cunhuan didn't expect the danger to come. Li Cunhuan is now recuperating in full force. Nie Yizhong not only advised Li Cunhuan about becoming the emperor, but also advised Li Cunhuan to rest and recuperate.
For this reason, Nie Yizhong cited a large number of examples, since the first year of Qianning, Li Cunhuan and Li Ke used the war to get the position of Lu Longjie's envoy. In that year, the war was stopped, and the Andong Protectorate was restored to conquer the grasslands. Revenge for his father, war for righteousness. Save Pinglu and fight Qizhou with Zhu Wen. There is also the Korean war, which has not completely subsided this year. From the first year of Qianning to the current five years of Qianning, five years have passed, and there are still years of war.
Zhang Chengye also tactfully mentioned Lu Long's current financial situation. That is to say, Li Cunhuan put forward many policies to improve economic development, and Zhang Chengye has a good way of managing money, so Lu Long's economic system has not collapsed. But even so, Lu Long's economy has been dealing with deficits, and he has been unable to make ends meet several times.
The most important thing is that Lu Long basically has no money in stock, that is, once Lu Long can't make ends meet in a certain year, Lu Long will encounter a financial turmoil. However, this is also related to Li Cunhuan's vigorous development of the military, in fact, in this troubled era, no one will not vigorously develop the military.
However, Li Cunhuan is more crazy than anyone else, and under Li Cunhuan's rule, every seven households selected a male soldier as a regiment training. The regiment has 10 consecutive days of training every month. The spring ploughing and autumn harvest are exempted. And Li Cunhuan will also give subsidies, not only taxes, but also enough food for a family of three every month. Therefore, the families of each regiment training are definitely well-off or above.
In ancient times, Qi Jiguang, who was strict in governing the army, was just training once every three days, which was similar to the regimental training under Li Cunhuan. Therefore, Li Cunhuan can completely pull out a regiment to train troops and go directly to the battlefield, and in this era, the combat effectiveness of regimental training may not be as good as that of some regular armies, but it will not be far behind.
Under such circumstances, the entire Great Qin State is a military camp. Regimental training was everywhere, and inside and outside the city were barracks and training grounds. However, the expenditure is naturally quite a lot, otherwise with the prosperous trade and a large amount of commercial taxes in the three towns of Lulong, Yichang and Andong, Li Cunhuan's finances will not be strong.
For this reason, in March, Li Cunhuan proposed to go to the peasants for the first time. In fact, this so-called persuasion of peasants is nothing more than inspecting the situation of spring plowing in various places, but even so, Li Cunhuan's task is very heavy. One plan lies in the morning, and the plan of the year lies in the spring. Whether to eat porridge or rice in the rice bowl this year depends on the spring ploughing in March, and Li Cunhuan's responsibility is not easy.
Li Cunhuan naturally didn't want to make a big deal about persuading the peasants, and he did not tell his subordinates where he was going to persuade the peasants, but only spread the news that he would personally go to various places to persuade the peasants. In this way, Li Cunhuan can see the real side, and in addition, it can also make local officials not know whether Li Cunhuan has arrived in their jurisdiction, so the best and only way is naturally to persuade the farmers to work hard in this spring ploughing and deal with all kinds of problems that occur in spring ploughing.
On 6 March, Li Cunhuan set off to various localities to persuade peasants. I don't know why, Li Cunhuan's first stop was not to persuade farmers in the southern villages of Youzhou, where agriculture is more prosperous, but to Lujiazhuang, northwest of Youzhou City, where land is relatively poor.
As elsewhere, Lujiazhuang is bustling with activity, with farmers driving cattle bought from the grasslands and digging deep furrows in the fields. or take a hoe and bury your head in the field. The elderly and infirm women remove the mud and weeds from the irrigation canals, or sprinkle water on the stiff fields to soften the soil.
Li Cunhuan slowly drove his horse down the road on the edge of the field. This is a gravel road connecting Youzhou and Lujiazhuang, although it is not how smooth it is, but it is good that the road will not become a small swamp that swallows all the vehicles and creatures passing by on rainy days. On a sunny day, it will not be dusty and smokey, as if it is blowing a sandstorm.
Sha Yuke led twelve soldiers from the Iron Eagle Capital to ride horses on both sides of Li Cunhuan, while Feng Dao rode a small donkey and talked to Feng Baodu, who had just been promoted to Jinyi Wei Qianhu, who was appreciated by Li Cunhuan.
In the distance, there are still soldiers of the Iron Eagle Capital who have been expanded to five hundred people lurking, and with just one horn sound, then Li Cunhuan will be protected by five hundred Iron Eagle soldiers in a maximum of five minutes.
Li Cunhuan grabbed the reins on the angry lion, and the angry lion shook his head a few times with a little dissatisfaction, but finally stopped the horse's hooves. The farmers in the nearby fields couldn't help but look at Li Cunhuan curiously, wondering why this well-dressed gentleman stopped to do something. Could it be ...... Several honest peasants couldn't help but turn their heads to look at the girl in white who was helping her father dig up the soil in the field. In the morning light, the girl in white is even more delicate and refined, like a snow lotus that is not stained out of sludge.
The girl in white didn't notice anything nearby, she just buried her head in hard work, and with her thin and delicate jade arms, she lifted the hoe high, and fell into the field again and again, loosening a little bit of dirt.
I don't know why, watching the girl in white working, Li Cunhuan felt a tingling feeling in his heart. Li Cunhuan tucked the reins into Sha Uk's hand and strode onto the path between the fields that could only accommodate one person.
"Temple...... Son! Sha Yuke couldn't help but be anxious, and almost left Li Cunhuan's instructions behind, but fortunately reacted and did not stop Li Cunhuan's identity. After all, in Hebei, there is only Li Cunhuan who can be called His Royal Highness.
"Guan Guan Ju Dove, in the river island. My Fair Lady, Gentleman! "Park Le She, the first bow in the East China Sea who accompanied his brother Park Zhiqian to take refuge in Li Cunhuan, saw Li Cunhuan's goal, and immediately shook his head happily and recited "Guan Ju".
"You're big! Keep up, don't let Childe be in danger. Otherwise, your whole family will be destroyed! Feng Dao angrily knocked this bohemian guy on the head with the bamboo fan in his hand.
"I don't understand the amorous feelings!" Pu Leji rolled his eyes and said disdainfully at Feng Dao. Holding the iron tire bow at his waist, he turned over and dismounted. Humming an unknown song, he stepped on the field path after Li Cunhuan, walking slowly.
The people who followed him were so angry that they wanted to push this guy down into the field and let him taste the taste of our Lulong soil. However, following behind Park Le is Feng Dao, this guy has a very powerful mouth and pen, but it is the turn of the force value. I don't know if a hundred Feng Dao can beat Park Le to shoot a person?
"Get out of the way, get out of the way!" Feng Dao angrily retreated to Park Le, but Park Lejau still moved forward slowly, not affected by Feng Dao in the slightest.
Pu Leshu smiled slowly and said, "Old Feng! It's not that I'm talking about you, you go up and beat the mandarin duck now, and in the future, son, hey! Giggle! ”
Park Le's words made everyone who followed behind look at each other, and they couldn't help but fall silent. Moving slowly behind Park Leji.
