Chapter 267: Handles and Loopholes
Longshan is the branch vein of Luliang Mountain, the front is connected to the Hanging Urn Mountain, the west is connected to the Fang Mountain, there is a lush forest on the mountain, the green mountains are covered with daisies, the green trees are shady, there are large and small mountain springs formed by Fenshui and several tributaries in the mountains, the spring water is clear, the spring sound is Ding Dong, the small fish swim freely in the water, see the figure is not afraid, when it is still, it seems to float in the air, and when it moves, it disappears behind the craggy strange stones, leaving only shallow ripples to indicate that they have come.
There are mountains, water, trees and grass, even in the middle of summer, Yongsan is cool and pleasant, and it is a good place to escape the heat. And in winter, there are mountains to block the cold wind from the north, here is a little warmer than Jinyang City, living next to the mountains, it is also very easy to cut firewood for heating.
Liu Xiu chose a place with a mountain and water to establish Longshan School, the specific address was selected by Mrs. Lu and other Taoist priests, whether it was auspicious or not, Liu Xiu didn't know, Liu Xiu only knew that it was really comfortable to live here, get out of the noisy mundane affairs here, enjoy a rare quiet, climb the mountain, hunt, sit on the stone in a daze, quite a sense of dust.
Liu Xiu liked it very much, and he simply took the front yard of the school that had just been built as his temporary camp, and asked Wang Yun to invite the famous celebrities and heroes of Bingzhou to come here for a meeting to discuss the development of Bingzhou.
Wang Yun issued a notice two months ago, and he specially explained that this is the respect of Lord Assassin Shi for everyone, and it is a friendly expression of friendship to govern the state with all the scholars, and hopes that everyone will not be indifferent, take the initiative to actively contribute ideas and suggestions, and dedicate their wisdom and talents to the stability and unity of the state.
In addition to a few true or false Qinggao hermits, most of the celebrities of Bingzhou have arrived, they have already seen the Longshan School before Liu Xiu, from the exquisite architecture and careful location of the Longshan School, they saw Liu Xiu's sincerity to the development of the state, respect for culture. They all knew that Liu Xiu was very short of money now, and in this case, he still did not lower the standard for building the school, which made those Confucian scholars very happy. Although there are some complaints about Liu Xiu's scholars who want to cultivate both civil and military skills, and also introduce Taoism into the school, but in general, they still approve of Liu Xiu's attitude.
The Longshan camp is not far from the school, it is a large flat land that guards the mountain pass, it can be attacked and retreated, and it was personally selected and arranged by Duan Cheng to choose the site and build, in his words, this will be a demonstration of camping in the future, so that every officer who enters the camp for training can feel the importance of choosing a correct camp site.
Seeing Duan Cheng again, Liu Xiu was very happy. If it weren't for Duan Cheng sitting in Jinyang, Tian Yan would not just create so much trouble for him, and it would probably make him unable to step down. Tian Yan has been in the army for more than ten years, and has fought hundreds of battles, if it weren't for Duan Cheng, how could he be so cooperative with Liu Xiu, a young man who had just debuted. At the beginning, if he released the water and let Murong Feng drive straight in, Liu Xiu could only end up trapped in the big city fortress.
Contradictions are inevitable, but in the end there is no tearing of the skin, and this is already the best result.
"Sir, it's hard work." Liu Xiu sincerely gave Duan Cheng a big gift.
Duan Cheng bowed slightly: "I'm just moving my mouth, nothing hard, you have worked hard in the past few months, fortunately, you broke Xianbei first, and then served the Huns, which can be regarded as not in vain." He looked at the Hun Scouts behind Liu Xiu, "Do you really want to cultivate these people?" β
"Hehe, of course you have to cultivate, but they don't speak Chinese, and it is estimated that it will be difficult to listen to Mr. Teach." Liu Xiu smiled gloomily, "I'm going to run a preparatory class for them first, let them learn Chinese for two years, and then say, usually, just come to the camp every month to ride a horse and shoot archery." β
Duan Cheng breathed a sigh of relief. He is different from those Confucian scholars, he has never believed in any morality, for these alien races, he always thinks that there is only one way to be the safest, that is, to kill, kill cleanly, and the blood flows like a river, so that they are afraid of the Han people from the bottom of their hearts, and when they see the Han people, their legs are weak, and they flee from the wind. Let him teach these Hun children to fight, it is psychologically difficult for him to accept.
"Actually, sir, don't worry, the Huns were so arrogant back then, what could they do in the end? As long as we Han people don't play ourselves to death, those peoples on horseback will not be able to take advantage. Liu Xiu comforted him and said, "If Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty had the strength at that time, I wouldn't bother to talk to them, so I directly led an army of 100,000 and swept Mobei." β
"Hehehe, you were born at the wrong time, you are good at calculation, and dare to take risks, you are a talented soldier, but it's a pity that today's Han is full of holes, stormy, and can't support such a big war." Duan Cheng sighed regretfully, and looked yearning at the reckless mountains in the distance, "Confucianism, although it can't be said to be useless, but it is a big failure to emphasize literature over martial arts, and forget about danger in peace." You built the Longshan Academy and officially incorporated military science into the official school, hoping to reverse this weak atmosphere and reproduce the domineering spirit of our Han soldiers who swept the world in the past. β
"I would like to borrow the good words of Mr." Liu Xiu thought for a while, and then said: "Sir, I have incorporated military science into official science, and at the same time, I also want to make some adjustments to the content of military science. β
"What adjustment?"
The content of military science in the Han Dynasty is divided into four categories, one is military strategy, which is equivalent to the strategy of later generations, mainly in the military books such as "The Art of War" and "Wu Zi"; One is the military situation, which is equivalent to the tactics of later generations, represented by "Sun Bin Art of War" and "Captain"; There is also a class of military skills, that is, training skills, including physical training, tactical training, etc., including not only archery, fencing, but also physical training methods such as juju, stone throwing, hand fighting, wrestling, etc., such as "kendo", "hand fighting", "general Li archery", "Fengmeng archery" all belong to this category; The other category is the Yin and Yang of Bing, which is very complex, not only including geography, astronomy and other related knowledge, but also formation, vision, divination and other witchcraft content with a very strong atmosphere, such as "The Art of War of the Yellow Emperor", "Shennong's Art of War", "Don't become a son to look at the military spirit" and the like.
Duan Cheng is a famous general, but he is not averse to this kind of thing, on the contrary, he believes in it very much. When he was in the army, he raised some guests who were good at divination, when he hit Le Sister Qiang, the army was defeated and besieged three times, that is, the guest hermit Fan Zhizhang calculated that there was a gap in the southeast direction at night, and he took advantage of the night to break through the siege, only to turn defeat into victory.
But to be honest, Liu Xiu has always been prejudiced against this kind of thing, he doesn't deny that some cases are true, but he thinks it's just right. If it is right, it does not mean that this technique is really effective, if it is really effective, it should be right every time, but until now, no warlock dares to say that he is a hundred hits.
He felt that it was very harmful to retain this knowledge of what was similar to what was wrong in military science, which had to be pragmatic, so he wanted to take advantage of the opportunity to formally include military science in the official academy to carry out some rectification. Military science is mainly in charge of Duan Cheng, and if Duan Cheng cannot be convinced, there is no way to talk about it at all.
Sure enough, after listening to Liu Xiu's words, Duan Cheng didn't speak for a long time, and he asked Liu Xiu rhetorically, do you think the soldiers are useless?
Liu Xiu replied cautiously, I didn't mean that it was useless, but there were some problems with the guiding ideology in it. The theory of the five elements of yin and yang is too big and too blunt, and the analogy is too blunt and not practical enough. For example, those Qimen Dunjia who are said to be amazing, do you think he is really useful? Of course, you can also study it as a science, but don't teach it to all officers, although this kind of thing cannot be simply said to be deceitful, but most people can't grasp it, and this is also a fact. If you don't figure it out, don't teach it so as not to cause misunderstandings.
Duan Cheng didn't understand Qimen Dunjia either, and he had been marching and fighting for decades, and it seemed that no one could really use Qimen Dunjia's formation, and after listening to Liu Xiu's explanation, he could barely accept it.
Duan Cheng is a general who leads troops to fight, people will die in battle, and he can't come to the slightest hypocrisy, it is relatively easy to persuade him, but it is not so easy to persuade Cai Yong, as soon as he heard Liu Xiu say that he should not teach this kind of knowledge in Jinyang Academy, Cai Yong was very unhappy, this is his most proud internal learning, but Liu Xiu regarded it as a deception, which made it difficult for him to accept. It's just that his knowledge is ridiculously good, citing scriptures, Liu Xiu can't say anything about him at all, and finally forced Liu Xiu to be anxious, and put the fossil from Wolf Mountain in front of him.
"Sir, you are well-read, so please tell me what this thing is?"
Cai Yong blew his beard and stared at his eyes, and looked at it over and over for a long time, but he still couldn't say why.
"The master has said that Xia Li Shangli was no longer clear at his time, you are all very capable, not only Xia Shangzhou is the first to speak, but even the imperial line of the Three Emperors and Five Emperors has been spoken, I don't know where your things come from." Liu Xiu pulled Feng Xue over and pushed it in front of Cai Yong: "Then sir, tell me, have you ever seen someone like this before?" β
Cai Yong was startled when he saw the fair-skinned, blonde-haired, blue-eyed Fengxue for the first time: "Great Qin people? Rest man? β
"Do the Great Qin people and Anxib people you see like this?" Liu Xiu said angrily, "Sir, knowing is knowing, not knowing is not knowing, you can't even recognize the stone drum inscription of the Zhou Dynasty, and the oracle bone inscription of the Shang Dynasty is even darker, why do you believe that the imperial lineage of the three emperors and five emperors who contradict each other is true?" There is not even a unified version of the Confucian classics, not to mention that these ancient things have no basis, so don't rush to conclusions, let alone teach others as the truth, that is not a mistake for people's children. β
Cai Yong was very frustrated, "According to what you say, how many of our studies are useful?" β
"Let's start with the recent ones, the materials of this dynasty are still relatively well preserved, your Mr. Cai is well-versed in the past and the present, and has written books in Dongguan School, why don't you compile a history of this dynasty in the past 150 years? Even if you can't make a chronicle, you can choose something that has indeed happened, or an article by an author who is undoubtedly conclusive, such as Zhang Pingzi's article to tell the students. As for the study of scriptures, we will talk about that part that everyone has no doubts, and those who have doubts can just teach those who are interested in learning to study, and there is no need to talk about them to ordinary students, which will not help them to do things in the future, but will easily breed confusion. β
Liu Xiu didn't block the words, and although Cai Yong was not satisfied, he reluctantly accepted it.
Lu Shi and Liu Xiu have been together for the longest time, and she has a very clear grasp of Liu Xiu's thinking, but she doesn't need Liu Xiu to dwell on anything. After leveling the three professors of the school, Liu Xiu's next task was to negotiate with the big landlords and small landlords in the state.
At night, in the study, which still exuded the smell of fresh tung oil, Liu Xiu sat on his knees, looked through the screen window, looked at the dark mountains and forests outside, thinking about the situation he might encounter tomorrow, and preparing appropriate speeches. Wang Yun had already sent the information of the participants and others, but he didn't make too many comments, Liu Xiu estimated from his face that this negotiation would not be easy. Bingzhou is not a rich place in the first place, the total amount of wealth is not large, but there are still a few families with a very long family history in it, those who have already taken advantage of it still want to take a greater advantage, and those who have not taken advantage want to get some benefits from it, but no one is willing to cut the meat, where does the benefit come from? Falling from the sky?
Relatively speaking, Wang Yun is still relatively easy to convince, although this person is screwed, but he has a strong sense of merit, and his vision is relatively high, he hopes to make meritorious contributions, hopes to glorify his ancestors, and can accept a certain degree of loss in a short period of time in exchange for greater gains, but others may not be able to think so, they just want to get more, but they don't want to lose even a little.
When Liu Xiu first arrived in Bingzhou, he didn't want to use tough methods, but now it seems that if he blindly gives benevolence, he is afraid that those landlords will not see his affection, but will think that he is weak and can be bullied, resulting in the end his policy cannot be implemented, and the situation in Bingzhou has just seen the dawn deteriorates rapidly, giving Xianbei people an opportunity to take advantage of.
How to control this degree is an action that tests his administrative ability. The war in the first half of the year proved that he had a certain talent in military affairs, and now it was time to verify his talent in civil affairs.
To be honest, Liu Xiu is not very familiar with the people's livelihood economy, he originally wanted to hand over this matter to Wang Yun to deal with, but Wang Yun was obviously unwilling to rush to the front and have the most direct conflict with the powerful people in the state, he would rather make Liu Xiu feel that he was incompetent than offend these people, he pushed the problem in front of Liu Xiu.
This made Liu Xiu very unhappy.
Liu Xiu carefully searched twice under his current staff and subordinates, and did not find any of them with experience in handling this kind of affairs, so it seemed that he had to go into battle shirtless.
It would be nice if Lu Zhi or Lu Min were here, especially Lu Zhi, he has experience in governing the people, and he will definitely be able to handle the affairs of the state. Jia Xu may have a set, but he is now sitting in Jiuyuan as a long historian, deploying the defense of northern Xinjiang, and he can't catch up for a while.
"My lord, it's late at night, it's time to rest." Hao Zhao reminded cautiously.
Liu Xiu was startled, glanced at the leaky pot in the corner of the house, and found that it was already over, and the wind and snow were already sleepy, and he dozed off on the desk. He smiled, got up and took off his coat, and Hao Zhao brought water and asked him to wash his face and feet. Liu Xiu asked casually while soaking his feet: "Bodao, do you know anyone in Bingzhou who is good at governing the people, or who has done positions such as taishou and county order?" β
"Yes, the Wen Shu official reputation of the Wen family in Qi * County is good, Guo Quangong of the Guo family in Yangqu has been a big farmer, and now he is idle at home, his son Guo Yi is young and promising, and he is also a rare talent."
"Wait, Gentle Understanding?" Liu Xiu suddenly remembered that he had met with this Wen Shu, Wen Shu once wanted to promote him, but later because of the difference in attitude towards the Xianbei people, he went to Luoyang again, and the matter was over. Liu Xiu suddenly thought of something, and hurriedly asked Hao Zhao to take the information sent by Wang Yun and flipped through it carefully.
There was no name of Wen Shu in it, in other words, he didn't come to the meeting.
Why?
Hao Zhao listened to Liu Xiu's question, scratched his head, and said uncertainly: "The Wen family and the Wang family are both big families in Qi * County, with family origins and inheritances for hundreds of years, and they were originally very close, and they often have marriages, but after Wang Beijia came out, the Wang family has been very strong in these years, and they always suppress the Wen family, Wang Beijia ......" Hao Zhao said half of it, and did not say any further.
Liu Xiu smiled, saying this, there are some contradictions between the Wang family and the Wen family, and if there is a contradiction, you can take advantage of it.
"Then how about the Guo family and Wang Beijia?" Liu Xiu saw Guo Yi's name in the information, but he didn't mention Guo Quan, let alone Guo Quan, who had been a big farmer. I don't know if Wang Yun wrote it briefly, or if he had ulterior motives. Anyway, it can be seen from the names of these two people that this information has an obvious Wang Yun's personal style.
"Don't drive the king...... It's not good with most people, that is, the Jinyang Wang family, who is also from the Wang family, doesn't get along very well with him. Hao Zhao was a little embarrassed, and seemed to be a little uncomfortable behind his back to say that Wang Yun's was not a little uncomfortable.
"Hmm, Jinyang Wang?" Liu Xiu flipped through the information and saw a person named Wang Rou in it, "This person is from the Jinyang Wang family?" β
"Well, he is the elder brother of Yanmen Taishou Wang Ze." Hao Zhao nodded and said, "The two brothers have been to see Guo Linzong, Guo Linzong said that they both have two thousand stone talents, but Wang Rou should be a eunuch, and Wang Ze should be advanced by scriptures. β
Liu Xiu was even more puzzled: "That's not right, now Wang Ze is the Taishou of Yanmen, but Wang Rou is doing school at home?" β
Hao Zhao smiled and didn't say anything.
Liu Xiu understood and didn't ask any further, with this information, he already knew what to do. Since Wang Yun wants to watch a play, let him watch a good show.
"You go to sleep." Liu Xiu patted the information, "I'll have to watch it for a while." β
Hao Zhao was relieved, and hurriedly bowed out, he was really afraid that Liu Xiu would ask him about Wang Yun again. Wang Yun is a talented person, but he also has a big temper, and Hao Zhao doesn't like him very much, but he feels very awkward to let him say bad things about Wang Yun in front of Liu Xiu. But if Liu Xiu really wanted to ask, he couldn't help but say it, otherwise he would be a little sorry for Liu Xiu's care for him.
"Fengxue, bring me a footcloth." Liu Xiu screamed a little excitedly, Feng Xue rubbed his loose eyes, walked over with a footcloth, did not hand it to Liu Xiu, but fished Liu Xiu's feet out of the footbasin, wiped the water with a footcloth, and then sat down next to Liu Xiu, took off his shoes and socks, put his feet in and began to play.
Liu Xiu glanced at her in some surprise, shook his head with a smile, and continued to flip through the information, the more he flipped through it, the more interesting he felt. I had to ask Hao Zhao casually today, otherwise I really didn't know about Wang Yun's ambush in this information.
"What are you laughing at, laughing so insidiously." Fengxue yawned and glanced at Liu Xiu, startled by the smile on his face. She knew that when Liu Xiu usually laughed like this, she just wanted to hurt people with crooked ideas again.
"I grabbed Wang Yun's handle." Liu Xiu smiled yinyin.
Feng Xue's face suddenly turned red, and he took a sip of him, and pouted: "I didn't expect you to be really interested in men." β
Liu Xiu was stunned for a moment, then he knew that she had misunderstood, and hurriedly explained: "What do you think, I'm not telling a joke, I really caught ......" He looked at Feng Xue's face, and swallowed back the words in a sneering manner, as soon as he thought of the yellow joke about the handle and loopholes, he felt sad, how did it come around to his head again.
"Okay, you can take your time and don't get caught." Feng Xue was bored and washed his feet for a while, dried his feet, put on his shoes, poured water, and walked to his residence.
"Wind and snow." Liu Xiu put down the information and stopped her.
"What's the matter?" Fengxue turned around and looked at him puzzled, frowning slightly.
"That...... Achu gave me a daughter, you know. β
Fengxue was stunned for a moment, "I heard about it, congratulations." β
"That ......" Liu Xiu rubbed his hands, walked to Fengxue with a smile, lowered his head, stared at her blue eyes, and asked in a low voice, "You...... Did Abba ever say that you should give her a grandson or granddaughter as soon as possible? β
Feng Xue was puzzled, and after a while, a red cloud flew on her face, she didn't dare to look at Liu Xiu's eyes again, she lowered her head shyly, and her voice was as low as a mosquito: "This ...... What's your business? β
"I can help." Liu Xiu said with a strange smile: "Your Abba is now at odds with Tanshi Huaimian and his heart, and he may go to war at any time, and he needs the help of our Han people very much." I don't think he'll object to having a Han grandson with black hair and black eyes. β
"I ......" Feng Xue was ashamed, covered her face with her hands, fled into the inner room, threw herself on her bed, and covered her head tightly with the quilt. Liu Xiu glanced at her ostrich-like appearance, and looked at the round buttocks wrapped in a thin shirt with greedy eyes, and a hot dantian rose up, and suddenly felt a little dry mouth. He crawled over, gently lying on Feng Xue's back, the bloody brother lightly pressed against the soft and fiery skin, his mouth was close to Feng Xue's ear, and whispered through the thin quilt: "Feng Xue, I sent my handle to the door, don't let go of the opportunity." β
"Get out of here, stinky pervert!" The wind and snow hid in the thin quilt, and refused to show his head. Liu Xiu smiled, arched the thin quilt a little with his mouth, revealing the thin and transparent earlobes of the wind and snow, first touched it lightly with his hot lips, then took it in his mouth, and licked it with the tip of his tongue.
Feng Xue's body trembled, and his breathing became a little short.
Liu Xiu dragged her hand, led it down, and laughed in a low voice: "I sent the handle to the door, and you refuse to catch it, then I will take the initiative to attack and find your loophole." Snow girl, I'm coming. β
Feng Xue was panting, humming and chirping, his body trembled violently, his hand was pulled by Liu Xiu and inserted between the two bodies, half-pushing and half-holding Liu Xiu's handle, pinching it timidly, just wanted to let go, but was held down by Liu Xiu. Liu Xiu wrapped his hand around her body while wrapping his hand, and his hand reached into the silk clothes and stroked her flat and silky lower abdomen.
The wind and snow were agitated, and they shook violently, and the new wooden bed let out a moan, followed by a loud noise, the sound was so loud that Liu Xiu was startled, and his heart was that this foreign girl was too sensitive, and she reacted so much when she touched it, or was this bed not strong?
Before he could come back to his senses, he heard the wooden bed shake violently again, and then a shout came from outside:
"It's an earthquakeβ"
ββββββ Liu Xiu hadn't come back to his senses, only to hear another violent shaking of the wooden bed, and then, a shout came from outside:
(To be continued)
