In the past six months, nothing major has happened in the Central Plains.

Cao Mengde finally confronted the Liang Jiao brothers, and the small attack battle was tried several times, Zhang Jiao and Zhang Liang were defeated by Cao Mengde, so Zhang Jiao defended the city as if he was in Guangzong, trying to make Cao Mengde retreat.

Xun Yu's discord plan has shown results, Zhang Jiao and Zhang Liang two brothers talked several times and broke up, their ideas have become different from each other, originally Zhang Jiao's three brothers are poor, interdependent, can be brothers and brothers, but now they are in a high position, each has a henchman, many things become involuntary, once the two brothers fall out, the result can be predicted.

In addition, the person who the Central Plains Heroes are most concerned about may be Liu Hong today, this son of heaven is more destined than a cockroach, and he has not died after two passes in the ghost gate, in mid-June, Liu Hong was sick again, and then he was also cured, but this time Liu Hong was furious after being cured, because he couldn't do anything, for this lustful emperor, what is the fun of living like this?

And in late June, there are Fang Shi to offer the elixir, Liu Hong disregarded the dissuasion of the ministers and many close ministers, insisted on obeying, that night even the three daughters, Liu Hong's mind was alive again, but he did not know that with him to take the elixir at the same time, countless people have no hope for this son of heaven, even Xun Yu, who was far away in Bingzhou, sighed three times after receiving the tip, and the attendants heard this Wang Zuozhi say three times that the Han was in danger.

Didn't Liu Hong know that this so-called elixir was the medicine of the tiger and wolf? He actually knows, doesn't he know that the territory of the Han Dynasty is full of holes? He must have known that, but he was the emperor, greedy for pleasure. If he wanted to be like Li Shimin or Qin Shi Huang, he would really shout that he couldn't do it, so he simply broke the jar and broke it. When he died, he kicked his legs, and he didn't care what the descendants did. For the Chinese people of this era, it is also a sadness to have this incompetent emperor.

As Liu Hong took the elixir every day and enjoyed the last time of his life, the assassins in the states should have almost exterminated the yellow scarves in their territories, although the yellow scarves made the states confused, but it has to be said that there are also benefits, because the eradication of the yellow scarves is regarded as training soldiers, and the military horses in the states are strong and strong, and they are all sharpening their knives. Just waiting for Liu Hong to return to heaven, and then chase the Central Plains, many people make Liu Hong a villain, pricked with needles every day, hoping that Liu Hong can be pricked to death by needles like a villain.

It is precisely because of this that the Central Plains seems to be very calm this month, but the dark tide below can be seen by anyone with a discerning eye, once it breaks out, it is much more fierce than the yellow scarf. After all, the original body of the Yellow Turban was just a peasant, and these were all heroes of a state.

"If Liu Hong dies this month, what will you do if you are the Central Plains Heroes?" Lin Bei asked Bian Ji and wanted to test him.

An Zhongzhi has already gone back. Bian Ji went to Linjiang City again, because the wooden road was paved, so Bian Ji did not have the pain of a long journey.

Bian Ji pondered for a long time. Cai said: "Enter the King of Luoyang Qin!" ”

"Oh? How so? Lin Bei asked with interest.

"Liu Hong, the son of heaven, now only has two heirs." Bian Ji finally called Liu Hong's name, "The eldest son Liu Bian." He should be nine years old, but his second son, Liu Xie, is only four years old. Once Liu Hong dies, the heroes will definitely enter Beijing, use the name of King Qin to control Luoyang, and order Zhuxiong. ”

"But now that the deterrent power of the royal family is gone, if you want to order the heroes with this, I'm afraid it won't work, right?"

"This and righteousness, even if the heroes are unbearable to the prestige of the royal family, they will definitely tie their hands and feet, so the students think that if anyone enters Luoyang first, I am afraid that he will become the most powerful person in the world."

Lin Bei thought about it, nodded, and thought that Bian Ji's words were very reasonable, not to mention that Liu Jian was only nine years old, even if he was fifteen years old, he was a child in the eyes of the group of heroes, and he could be bullied at will.

"Master, you're so powerful, you can even think of this."

Bian Ji was a little embarrassed: "My lord, the student used to be confused, he didn't know about the state affairs, and he only learned that his knowledge was shallow after following the adult for a long time, so he only had to work hard." ”

In the past, Bian Ji only taught people to read and write, of course, he would not care about national affairs, but now his status is different, if he only manages to educate people, it will definitely not work, and the same is true for An Zhongzhi, who used to be just a pavilion chief, taking care of trivial things, and now he has to manage the internal affairs of more than 50,000 people in Wanghai City, and An Zhongzhi is also improving. If Bian Ji's qualifications are amazing, he may be able to catch up with Kong Ming in the end, but the chance of being able to get to this kind of Cheng is quite small, and Lin Bei does not dare to hope that as long as An Zhongzhi can manage a city properly, and Bian Ji, it is better to be able to make suggestions, if not, it is not bad to be the dean of the academy in the future.

"What does the master think is the biggest obstacle to entering King Qin?"

"The biggest obstacle?" Bian Ji couldn't think of anything this time, so he could only ask Lin Bei.

Lin Bei looked at the direction of the Central Plains and sighed: "Cao Mengde is this person." ”

"Cao Mengde?" Bian Ji was puzzled: "Adult, the student doesn't know why the adult values this person, from what the student can see, this person is really just a speculative camper." ”

Lin Bei sighed, speculative drill campers? Lin Bei was speechless, Bian Ji's evaluation of Cao Mengde was so low? "How could the master think that Cao Mengde was a speculative camper?"

Bian Ji said: "This person fought with the big barbarian several times, all defeated, extremely incompetent, after Lu Zhi and Ding Yuan rushed to Yanzikou, this person did nothing, the guide zhì Yanzikou was defeated by the big barbarian, Lu Zhi died of shame, on the other hand, this person, but no cheek, if it is not for the middle of the court, although Liu Hong is absurd, he will not appoint this person as the commander of the Yellow Turban, now Lu Bu and Xun Yu are quite famous, although this person is the commander, but obscure, so looking at this person's actions, Bian Ji can not see a trace of heroic. ”

Lin Bei was really speechless when he heard it, but after listening carefully, he found that what Bian Ji said seemed to have a few truths, this Cao Mengde has been defeated since he appeared, and there is no shining point, and after the defeat of the official army. Lu Zhi died of guilt, which has made the world think that Lu Zhi was defeated. But there is still merit, compared with Lu Zhi. Cao Mengde's appearance is inevitably disgraceful, now as the commander of the Yellow Turban, Lu Bu's brave martial arts have been spread all over the world, Xun Yu has also begun to be famous because of the four strategies, Cao Mengde's appearance is very mediocre, no wonder it will be underestimated.

However, everyone will underestimate Cao Cao, but Lin Bei will not, compared to Cao Cao that Lin Bei knows, Cao Mengde's starting point at this moment is much higher. According to the original historical process, Cao Cao will be revealed after Dong Zhuo absconded in Beijing, which was 190 AD, that is, six years later, and at this time Cao Mengde sat on tens of thousands of officers and soldiers, and at the same time as a marshal, there were fierce generals such as Lu Buxia Houyuan, once Liu Hong died, this Cao Mengde became the general trend.

Now Cao Mengde should still be loyal to the Han family. But Lin Bei is not sure, this hero has never been a foolish and loyal, maybe Liu Hong's actions have broken his heart.

What Bian Ji saw just now was Cao Mengde's shortcomings, but if you look at it from another angle. You can see the advantages of Cao Mengde, Cao Mengde has lost several times, but it is not that he will not fight if he is defeated. This is the so-called defeat and discouragement, Lu Zhi died in shame. Cao Mengde was fine, except for saying that he was thick-skinned. There is also this person's generosity and disdain for defeat, and Xun Yu and Lu Bu have made a name for themselves because of the Yellow Turban War, but Cao Cao has no reputation, which shows that this person knows how to make good use of people, does not plunder his merits, and does not envy his fame.

And in history, Cao Mengde is indeed like this, defeated a lot, but repeatedly defeated and warned, and at the same time knows how to make good use of people, appoints a large number of talented people, and then issued a meritocracy order, saying that as long as it is a talent, even if this talent has many shortcomings, it can be reused, this kind of insight and bearing is quite rare, and it can really be compared with Cao Mengde, there is only one during the Three Kingdoms period, that is Liu Bei, but Sun Quan is not.

Liu Bei got up humble, although he has always claimed to be the great-great-grandson of King Jing of Zhongshan, but there are not many people who believe it, Liu Bei was running around in the first half of his life, this guy has lost more battles than Cao Mengde, if he died in shame like Lu Zhi every time, Liu Bei would have died thousands of times.

It wasn't until Liu Bei Longzhong looked at the thatched house and invited Zhuge Liang out that Liu Bei ended his life of exile, the famous Longzhong pointed out the direction for Liu Bei's future development, and it was also the biggest turning point in Liu Bei's life, which is of course the effect of Zhuge Liang's plan, but if Liu Bei himself is not angry, Kong Ming, who is almost a demon, is helpless, just like that Liu Chan, Kong Ming was so tired that he vomited blood and died, and this Adou brother did not help him up all his life.

So regardless of how Bian Ji thinks of Cao Mengde, Lin Bei regards Cao Mengde as a great enemy and attaches more importance to it than anyone else.

However, although Cao Cao's starting point in this life is very high, but the so-called advantages and disadvantages, if he wants to support the Han family, it is estimated that the end will be the same as Kong Ming, Liu Bian and Liu Xie are not good emperors, if they do not support the Han family, then the officials under him may be centrifuged, and how much can be left in the end, it only depends on Cao Mengde's means.

Moreover, if Cao Cao is powerful, the heroes will unite, and maybe there will be an eighteen candidates to fight Cao Mengde, this kind of thing can be said uncertainly, and the combination of vertical and horizontal is a common means when the candidates compete.

After talking about the Central Plains, Lin Bei's eyes still focused on the front first, that is, the two cities of Linjiang and Wanghai.

After the aborigines were escorted back, An Zhongzhi did not give the natives time to rest, except for the wounded and children under the age of six who could not work, all the natives would be escorted by the sergeants every day to dig stones, cut down trees and build roads, these are heavy work, and the danger is relatively high, let the natives get up in the middle of the day, and it can only stop at the end of the night, and the labor time has reached thirteen hours, because they are afraid that the natives will die of exhaustion, so An Zhongzhi gives these natives a good meal, three meals a day, and some meat at night, I thought that this kind of treatment would cause the natives to revolt, An Zhongzhi planned it, if he encountered resistance, he would kill the chickens and monkeys, and kill some natives, who knew that these natives did not feel hard, but felt that this kind of treatment was great, and they worked very hard.

An Zhong was puzzled, and later interrogated some natives, only to know that these natives used to be poor to death, hungry and full every day, sometimes when they can't hunt fish and beasts, eat some wild vegetables to cross the day, Wang Laicai found the dried fish in the Wabo tribe or because of the increase in rain in recent days to catch fish, and now they can eat a full meal every day, these natives feel that life is very good, some natives actually grow stronger because of this, and what is even more speechless is that the natives are very happy if they are injured, Because this means that they can eat and live for nothing, which is equivalent to a holiday.

After An Zhongzhi reported this situation to Lin Bei, Lin Bei was speechless for a long time, and said in his heart that this is okay?

"My lord, are we too nice to these natives?" An Zhongzhi was very entangled.

"What are you giving them food?" Lin Bei asked.

"Okara and a little rice, otherwise the okara will not be eaten, or there will be some meat at night, I am afraid that they will die of exhaustion." An Zhong straight.

"Happy to do that?" Lin Bei really felt incredible.

An Zhong nodded with a bitter face, there is no sense of accomplishment if there is no resistance.

Lin Bei was never a ruthless person, and he ordered his men to cook some bone broth or fish soup for each meal of these natives, but the labor time of the natives was extended by another hour, and it was dark from six o'clock in the morning to eight o'clock in the evening.

For Lin Bei, Wanghai City pays quite a few things, bones and fish, how much Wanghai City wants now, the storage is extremely abundant, it is too cost-effective to exchange this kind of thing for the labor of the natives, and the natives also think it is good, and there is almost no resistance, so the work efficiency is high, which can be said to be a win-win situation.

Under the hard work of the aborigines, the stone road is paved longer and longer, and now it has been paved nearly 100 miles of stone road, according to this speed, at most half a month, two zhang wide (here is also unified, and one zhang will be unified in the future) The stone road can be paved to point A, and after a month and a half, it can be paved into point B in the forest.

Also at this time, Zhen Ping rushed to Wanghai City by boat, and he came over to buy salt. (To be continued......)
