65. Not quite the same choice

Originally, what happened to Yuan Shao's subordinates was not much of interest to Li Shushi, in fact, if it wasn't for the sudden intelligence sent, he would not have turned his eyes away from the puppets nested in the camp opposite, but because of the incident of "Xiaoqiang and Zilong-chan lost their virginity (crossed out) butts and sacrificed their first (crossed out) first public punishment" incident just happened, which made Li Shushi interested in the battlefield that seemed to be extremely far away from the state army.

Although from the perspective of spatial distance, the shortest straight-line distance between the two sides seems to be only a little over fifty miles.

"But then again, we can even know such news, your lord, you are really amazing."

Although Zilongchan looked at Li Shushi with adoring eyes and made Li Shushi very useful, Li Shushi also knew that this matter was not directly related to him, or that he always played the role of a shopkeeper in this kind of thing, so in the end he still did not accept Zilongchan's praise.

Of course, Zilong Sauce, who is very familiar with the high-level of the Bingzhou Army, will unexpectedly praise Li Shushi for this kind of thing today, and I think there is probably also a factor in brushing his favorability in front of Li Shushi for the previous things.

And the reason why Li Shushi thinks so is entirely because of the little strong children's shoes that have always been a pair of middle two comic images on this occasion on weekdays, and this time he even changed his role to look like "I am a loyal dog", saying cold jokes that have no other effect except making people feel cold all over the body, and the eyes that looked at Li Shushi were full of misleading hot light.

It's no wonder that these two are doing this, after all, the two of them know very well that if Li Shushi is not allowed to understand that they have "reformed" and completely realized their previous mistakes at this time, then Li Shushi will definitely leave them here to continue to "reflect", instead of taking them with them to fight one after another familiar or unfamiliar opponents as before.

How to say that Li Shucheng is also full of talents. Even if you really throw the two of them here, there will be no shortage of people to use them.

Even if an opponent like Yuan Shao is obviously not as exciting as the head-to-head confrontation with the clay puppet on the opposite side, the current situation is that both sides have taken various means, and in the end, they have played themselves like this, and the battle under each other's scruples is completely lacking in the previous pleasure.

Therefore, even if it is Yuan Shaojun, as long as there is a battle to fight, it is estimated that these guys who even make Li Shushi wonder if they are suffering from any mental illness because of the psychological gap is too large.

**When it comes to the hungry Cheng dù, it's probably these people.

After all, if it weren't for the fact that the Guanzhong battlefield was in a stalemate now. I'm afraid that if Yuan Shaojun is treated, the state army will only send a partial division.

Well, it can't be so big, Li Shushi remembered that it is said that his body has not fully recovered yet, didn't he suffer a big loss on the battlefield of Wei County because he despised Yuan Shao's sons who stayed in the Liyang camp too much.

Speaking of which, in fact, there is no big problem for Lu Yi to despise Yuan Xi and Yuan Shang brothers, Yuan Shao's four sons are not the youngest Yuan Mai, who doesn't know if he can walk, and the remaining three are at most middle-aged in Li Shushi's opinion, maybe this statement can be regarded as lifting them up in this era. Especially with their father Yuan Shao, compared with their contemporaries Cao Ang and Cao Pi, as well as Sun Ce and Sun Quan, I don't know how many streets are behind.

However, Li Shushi had obviously asked the intelligence department to classify Yuan Fang's intelligence as a key concern, but from the actual battle, it seemed that the eldest son of the concubine, who had been deliberately suppressed by Yuan Shao all these years, was obviously less than Jia Xu's sense of survival, so that the arrogant generals in the Bingzhou army obviously did not think that the young man who had no chance to show his face could pose any threat to them.

But judging from the secret information that was subsequently sent to Li Shushi, Yuan Fang's actions in that battle were obviously far beyond people's imagination.

Speaking of Yuan Shao's actions here, he also had to mention the war in this plane that was still stalemate in Guandu.

Cao Cao didn't have much to say here. His subordinates include his relatives, if it weren't for his father Cao Song. I'm afraid that most of them will be pried away by Li Shushi. But even if he has the face of Old Man Cao, Cao Chun is still conscientious on Li Shushi's side, and he doesn't see the slightest possibility of wanting to leave - I don't know if this young man is really loyal and righteous, or if a certain Lori is charming.

Although Li Shushi's intuition is to be more inclined to the latter, it is better not to think too much about this kind of problem.

In addition to the problems with the core personnel, the areas that Cao Cao was able to control were also unable to provide him and his troops with much support - Xuzhou and Qingzhou needed to be guarded against coming from the southern Jiangdong. and the threat of Yuan Tan in the north, although after Sun Ce's death, the successor Sun Quan decided to cease war with Cao Cao in order to pacify the various voices that appeared within Jiangdong, and re-targeted Liu Biao, the enemy of his father's killer in the west, but Cao Cao still could not help but guard against possible threats from Jiangdong.

In particular, most of the two counties of Lujiang and Jiujiang fell into the hands of Jiangdong. And Sun Quan didn't intend to spit out these situations of land snatched from Cao Cao's army.

Therefore, even if Xuzhou can provide a little food and grass support for Cao Cao's side, it has become a luxury in such a situation, but because Zang Ba has done a good job of containing Yuan Tan, at least Cao Cao does not need to worry about what problems will happen to his flanks, although this does not meet the highest expectations in Cao Cao's mind, but at least within an acceptable range.

The situation in Yanzhou and Yuzhou also did not make Cao Cao too optimistic, even though he also implemented the strategy of Tuntian, but because Cao Cao's terms when implementing this policy were somewhat harsh, for the ordinary displaced people may be able to endure it in order to survive, but for those who know a little bit about the relevant policies of the state, they are very dissatisfied. Therefore, the effect of implementing this policy in many places can only be said to be unsatisfactory. But Cao Cao really didn't have a good way to do this, after all, Li Shushi had the strong Han Empire as the backing when he implemented this policy, and later after the family was well-off, in order to stimulate the enthusiasm of the laborers, he gave good preferential measures in some aspects, and even Li Shushi, who had the importance of population in the war, in order to develop the land that became depressed because of the war and the land that expanded in the north, naturally it was impossible to give too harsh terms.

It can only be said that a certain black-skinned dwarf is obviously the inventor of the original, but because of the influence of an overweight butterfly, it has become a copycat, and the greatest sorrow in life is probably nothing more than this. It's a pity that Cao Cao and Xun Yu found that their family was really not rich enough, so they could only grit their teeth and persevere.

If we add to this the reason that the Central Plains has been fighting for many years and the loss of population is strict, it is conceivable how much pressure Cao Cao needs to bear in terms of soldiers, taxes, and grain and grass, and the wealth left by the old man Cao may be astronomical for a family, but for the forces of the princes, in addition to being used as start-up capital, it is really a drop in the bucket.

After all, a person in the world who is as rich as He Shen can have the power to rival the country. And that's because He Shen is in a prosperous era (let's count it this way), the price of antiques, calligraphy and paintings and other things is inflated, if it is replaced by such a troubled era, I am afraid that those wealth shrinkage by more than half should be a conservative estimate, and it is normal to double or double.

But compared to Cao Cao's overstretched battle of Guandu in the history of another plane, Cao Cao's confidence this time is obviously more sufficient, and the most important reason for Cao Cao's waist to be straighter is that Liu Xietong's way of "brushing his face" obtained grain and grass support from Li Shushi - of course, it can't be free. Rather, the merchants under the protection of the Guò Prefecture sent it to the designated warehouses in Henan County through guò trade, and then Cao Cao's army took away the grain piled up in the warehouses, and the merchants took money or other goods they liked.

The price of grain is two percent cheaper than the price on the market in Yanyu, and this price still includes freight, which is also a great gift of conscience for Cao Cao, but they are not at a loss for the people of Bingzhou - not to mention the money settlement, just bringing the goods in demand from the Central Plains back to Bingzhou can also earn a lot of extra income, and in this way, it will also clean up the aged grain in the treasury of various places in the Bingshuo area. Anyway, in addition to the taste and nutritional value of that thing, it can't be eaten when cooked.

Well. After all, this is not the era of highly developed productive forces and great material abundance in the future, people's pursuit of material quality has reached the point where there is some nitpicking in a certain way, and for the vast majority of people in this era, as long as they can eat something, they are happy, sour or rancid. It can be eaten by pouring it into a large pot and boiling thoroughly, and it may have a different taste. Even if many places are strong and want to waste a lot, it is not so easy to make Zhumen's wine and meat stink, although for them, tofu brain is drunk and poured into a bowl. It's actually still possible to eat one fritters and throw them away, and then eat a few tea eggs or something.

Wait, can the average Haoqiang really afford to consume things like tea eggs, although tea has become popular under the drive of the people of the Bingzhou Army, but generally speaking, it should be considered a luxury.

Sure enough, in this era, few people in the entire continent can afford to eat tea eggs, this statement is still very reasonable, uh-huh.

Although it is possible that such a transaction model may have a black-skinned dwarf turn his face and deduct the goods, but considering that the unloading location is opposite Hanoi and not too far from the bank of the Yellow River, even if something really happens, it can be recovered in time, and Cao Cao in order to win the trust of the Bingzhou army, there are all Cao Ren's descendants, and this also means that even if there is only a transfer of the defensive line, the Bingzhou army can cut off this commercial supply line at the first time and minimize the loss.

Of course, in the current stalemate between the two sides of Guandu, it is probably not easy for Cao Cao to turn his face, at least with Li Shushi's channel, in addition to solving some of Cao Cao's grain and grass problems, it can also transport a little "contraband" such as high-priced war horses, although the number of less than a thousand horses so far, and more than half of them are Cao Chun's use of his position to trade to his own brother, but even this is enough to make Cao Cao breathe a sigh of relief.

After all, in addition, in the channel of being able to get war horses, Xiliang and even the Western Regions can no longer be counted on, the war in Guanzhong has completely cut off the trade routes there, and the detour will greatly increase the cost of those merchants in terms of the length of the distance and the difficulty of action, so many merchants will dispose of the goods in the area from Dunhuang to Wuwei when they hear the news of the Guanzhong War, and maybe they will be seen again in two or three years before they can appear in the territory of the Han Dynasty.

However, what made Cao Cao even happier was that the supply of war horses on Yuan Shao's side was even more unbearable.

As Li Shushi and the tribes under his command became the most powerful force on the grassland, even those tribes that were not closely related to the Bingzhou army showed enough goodwill to the Bingzhou army during this time. In this case, even if Yuan Shao spends a larger price, it will become quite difficult to purchase war horse resources in the hands of the various tribes of the grassland.

It may be possible to trade a dozen or twenty horses in private, and it may be possible to trade them in a hidden way. But even so, if it is discovered, it is still possible to be strangled by the tribal coalition led by Tuobaliwei, Yelida and others. Without the replenishment of war horses, the cavalry units of Yuan Shaojun, which had a slight advantage over Cao Cao's army, had become more and more lacking in impact.

Therefore, it is completely different from the history of another plane, even if the two sides consume each other leisurely, the person who loses in the end will not necessarily be the black-skinned dwarf in the Central Plains, and Yuan Shao also needs to worry about once the state army is freed up. Under the attack from both sides, no matter how arrogant Yuan Shao is, he doesn't think he has the possibility of winning.

Well, the biggest possibility is that the Yuan Cao family, who are competing with the clam and the clam family, were served by the fisherman of the state army.

This is not a joke, after all, if you think about it from another perspective, Yuan Shao thinks that he may not miss such a good opportunity.

After all, as long as the Yuan and Cao families are resolved, not to mention whether Li Shushi's fame can make him ascend to the position of the Ninety-Five, at least looking at the world, it is impossible for there to be any more princes who can compete with him, even if Li Shushi stops for the time being, after ten years of life and ten years of lessons. The pace of the unification of the world by the state army can only be stopped by fate.

Probably it was precisely because he felt the urgency of time that Yuan Shao was so anxious, and even pushed Tian Feng who admonished him to the end - maybe Yuan Shao's strength would indeed be greatly enhanced after three or five years of recuperation, but Yuan Shao, who had already decided to turn his face with the emperor and was constantly in trouble with the state army, really didn't think that he could get much left in this world.

So now, once again, he decided to strike first.

Only this time, there were still a lot of different opinions among his subordinates.

"Ming Gong, Feng Ji has no objection to other plans. But the decision to send 'that person' to Qingzhou really felt that it was very inappropriate after thinking about it. Whether it's for the eldest prince or for my Yuan family's foundation, I'm afraid it's dangerous! ”

"Ming Gong, Tu also thinks that this move is really a bit ...... It's not appropriate, eldest son...... The eldest prince is doing well in Qingzhou, as long as Ming Gong gives the eldest prince some more time. The eldest prince will definitely be able to break through the enemy's blockade and complete the task given to him by Ming Gong. ”

Since Xu You was out, the situation has become clearer and clearer (although only in their own opinion), and the relationship between Feng Ji and Guo Tu, the two original foreign pioneer "generals", has become more and more bad, and for a period of time, the two of them almost perfectly staged "If you support me, I will oppose it." If you oppose me, I will support it", and the two of them also pulled in a lot of "accomplices", and for a while, even Yuan Shao felt a headache and helpless about the faction represented by these two people.

But today, at this moment, the two of them are standing together again for one thing, this is a "beautiful scene" that has not been seen for a long time, even between the two of them, there is a bit of an awkward atmosphere lingering with each other.

Of course, no matter how embarrassing they are, on important matters, the two of them will not give up their positions.

For example, he now opposes Yuan Shao's idea of sending his concubine Yuan Fang to Yuan Tan in Qingzhou. And after them, Xun Chen and others, who were more inclined to the third prince Yuan Shang, and Xin Ping and others, who were more inclined to the eldest prince Yuan Tan on the side of Guo Tu, also spoke out against this matter, so that for a while, Yuan Shao's side was full of opposing voices.

Yuan Tan's supporters naturally wanted to resolutely oppose Yuan Fang's going to Qingzhou, after all, it completely meant that Yuan Shao was already disappointed in Yuan Tan, so he would let this Yuan family concubine, who had been dormant for a long time but was still vigilant by many strategists, go to help. Or even if there is no such relationship, Yuan Shao's act of sending a prison army to Yuan Tan alone has already explained the problem.

As for Yuan Shang's side, although it should be a matter of celebration for them no matter how Yuan Tan loses power, but Feng Ji obviously thinks deeper, he is very worried that Yuan Fang will take this opportunity to show more and better abilities he has, and then logically join the competition for Yuan Shao's inheritance, and compared to Yuan Tan, who does not have too many outstanding features except for the title of the eldest son, Yuan Fang, an opponent who is unpredictable and even frightened by many people, is obviously more worrying.

In other words, if Yuan Tan had been a little more competitive, perhaps there would not have been any controversy over Yuan Shao's successor at all.

It is said that Yuan Shao's ears are soft, and generally speaking, if the sound is louder on one side, he may fall to which side.

Such a statement cannot be wrong, but it cannot be said that it is all right, it can only be said that this young man, who can be regarded as a relatively smooth sailing until now, has too many opportunities to choose from, unlike many people who are simply a road in Huashan. Although it is a good thing to say that there are many choices, after all, it means that you can choose the best of the best, but as a family elder who has seen too much, Yuan Shao knows very well that some options may have good benefits in the short term but will become a huge burden in the long term, and some are just the opposite, of course, there are fundamentally wolves in sheep's clothing, so how to choose the best of the best is also a science, and it is normal for a phobia to appear over time (laughs)~

But if he really has a decision in his heart, then Yuan Shao's will is not something that ordinary people can shake.

Otherwise, he would not have really broken into a huge foundation, even if there was a super heavyweight humanoid butterfly by his side.

"Needless to say, there is only one thing you need to do now, and that is to make your plans more thorough and detailed, and to plan ahead for any problems that may arise.

In the next battle, only victory, not defeat! ”

Yuan Shao stood there, showing his majestic and dignified posture, just as he faced the Dong coalition army as the leader of the alliance.

Seeing Yuan Shao like this, all those who were familiar with him were in their hearts, and then immediately bowed down, and no one dared to put forward even the slightest opinion to Yuan Shao at this time.

Such Yuan Shao must have made the most correct choice.

This is the common thought in the hearts of all those in the tent at this moment.

It's just that

Someone who is not qualified to attend this meeting probably has some different opinions. (To be continued......)
