24. Isn't righteousness a fig leaf?

Genius remembers in a second [Aishang Novel Network biquge.info] to provide you with wonderful novels to read.

The history of assassination is an interesting position.

The grade of this position is only 600 stones, which is equivalent to the level of the subordinate officials of the three princes and nine secretaries of the center or the level of the county order where the local population has just reached 10,000 households, but the power in their hands, even if the local two thousand stone guards are too guarded, it will be a headache.

Because they not only have the power to inspect the place, but also have the right to directly report to the emperor by skipping the ranks, although they have not yet reached the level of directly arresting people and setting up private prisons for trial like Jinyiwei, it is enough to make others jealous of them.

When Li Shushi was the Taishou in Xihe, he had suffered the secret loss of Zhang Yi, the assassin of the state at that time, but because the emperor Liu Hong at that time was quite confident in him and ignored Zhang Yi's recital, Li Shushi escaped. Otherwise, if it is an official who is not very pleasing to the emperor's eyes, I am afraid that the class can list the crimes and put them to death.

Therefore, even if there is a big gap in the status and function of the state assassin who has absolute real power, and he cannot represent those county guards and the people in the county, but as the state assassin history, Han Fu wants to give Li Shushi a name to enter Jizhou to help him, but it is not a difficult thing, especially in this era when the imperial power has declined to an incredible point.

Although Han Fu may have some problems in his personality, even if he is a liar, he who can become a celebrity has his own unique place in at least some aspects, such as Han Fu, although he has not made many achievements in benefiting the people, but he has achieved quite fruitful results in the function of inspecting counties and counties, no. even to the point where Li Shushi was a little dumbfounded.

Not to mention, although the various secrets and dirty transactions of the principal officials at the county level under the rule of Jizhou alone cannot be said to be completely mastered, the things in their hands are enough to reach the red line of the decision. Although the county level is not as rich and detailed as the county level, the major county orders are basically impressive.

Of course, in addition to not being able to see people, there are also some praises for talented and virtuous people, but in this regard, Han Fu can provide much less help to Li Shushi, because those registered talents have either been recruited by the government at all levels, or the kind of hermits who resolutely do not go out of office and educate the people in the township at most. When the latter Li Shushi promoted the township school, there was a possibility of conflict because of the difference in ideas, and the former, at least now, Li Shushi can only look at the greed.

Although I don't know how Han Fu's secret information was collected. Is it his own ability or the people he has such a talent or interest? But there is no doubt that Han Fu's ability makes Li Shushi have the urge to take him under his command.

Of course, it's definitely just impulsive, after all, with Liu Yuwen's appearance, even Han Fu himself thinks that he has reached the end of his rope. Even if Li Shushi is willing to take him in, I'm afraid that he still thinks that Li Shushi has other plans.

Maybe he'll be like in the history of another plane. Let's play the scene of hiding in the toilet and hanging yourself with your shoelaces.

But it also provides an excuse that is at least superficially plausible. Although it is very awkward to let the troops of Jizhou teach those Taishou and county orders who are not good in Jizhou, it is good to use excuses to make such a thing reasonable.

Of course, a large part of this is just an excuse for frustration to replace Han Fu's promise to Li Shushi. As for what the real situation will become, in fact, no one can say clearly, and the fog of war is always fascinating.

You don't see that in another time and space, Gongsun Zan was promised by Yuan Shao to jointly send troops to Jizhou, and the two sides shared the income equally, what was the result? Gongsun Chan can be said to have lost his younger brother and broken his army, if it weren't for the intervention of the three brothers Liu Guan and Zhang, Gongsun Chan would have lost the first battle of Jieqiao even worse than when he was in Guanzi City in Liaoxi, not to mention the beautiful thing that Liu Yu later became the king of Youzhou.

It's just that when it comes to this, Li Shushi still can't make up his mind to send troops.

Why?

The reason is that the land of Jizhou is actually not inferior to the rich hinterland of the Central Plains, or that the significance of this land to Li Shushi's annexation is even greater than that of the Central Plains, which seems to be rich but somewhat distant.

Why Dong Zhuo was able to have the strength to confront the princes of the whole world before, in the final analysis, in addition to the authority of the emperor, what is more important is that after training a strong army in the bitter cold land of Xiliang, he also has an extremely rich area in the east of Sili in terms of population, soldiers and wealth, which has multiplied the combat effectiveness of the Xiliang army.

If it weren't for Dong Zhuo's busy handling of the internal political struggle in Luoyang and his conservative attitude towards the capture of Nanyang, thus missing a great opportunity, then with Henan Yin as the central axis, Jingzhou driven by Nanyang, and Hanoi and Hedong as the two wings, and then shaking Xuzhou Tao Qian, who was already riding on the wall, might have been difficult to break out in that vigorous battle against Dong -- because it is very doubtful whether the Central Plains region really had the ability to resist such a powerful force after the Yellow Turban Rebellion.

As I said before, Liu Xiu can compete for the world by taking Luoyang as the central axis and Nanyang and Jizhou and Hebei as the two wings, attracting heroes from all over the world, so that they can attack and retreat. Then there were the five counties of Hexi that Dou Rongxian, so that there was a great good shape to compete for the northwest and even suppress the southwest. Although the rest of the places are not unimportant, they do not have the effect of such a "throat" as the above places.

After telling Liu Xiu's story, let's take a look at Li Shushi's side.

Bingzhou is indeed a good place to start, just like Yizhou, which belongs to the land of four stops, can be attacked and retreated, and the north can easily obtain excellent war horses, and the lower limit of the skin is a little less, and may be able to get a large number of troops from foreign races, even if there is no ambition to dominate the world, but if you want to be a soil emperor, it is still more than enough~

But just as you basically can't see that the princes who unify the world come from Yizhou, if the princes in the merger state don't want to be a soil emperor but have aspirations for the world, then it is not enough to merge the state alone.

If the biggest problem that plagued the princes of Yizhou in their struggle for the world was how to get out of the endless mountains and enter the Guanzhong region, which was the key to the world, then the biggest problem that plagued the princes of Bingzhou was that the local princes could not give the soldiers and food and grass needed for the local princes to compete for hegemony in the world. Especially in the late Eastern Han Dynasty, the population of the merged states declined significantly due to the harassment of foreign races.

Therefore, even in the Sui and Tang dynasties, Li Yuan and Li Shimin, who wanted to compete for the world, had to actively approach the Guanzhong region, and it was precisely because they took away Guanzhong and stabilized the shape near Guanzhong that the world recognized their qualifications to compete for the world.

However, once the merger of states and Jizhou are combined, these disadvantages will no longer exist, because Jizhou, as a large state that can be counted by the Han Dynasty, even if the population loss after the Yellow Turban Rebellion is quite severe, still has fertile land, and uses this land to support the population, which is still in the upper middle of the Han Dynasty, and at the same time gathers a lot of wealth.

It can be said that as long as Li Shushi owns the entire Jizhou, then he will officially change from a prince in a corner of peace to the one who is enough to dominate the world, and then both his own mentality and the policies implemented by the entire force will change dramatically, otherwise Dong Zhuo, a rising bird, has been beaten back to Xiliang. If Li Shushi loses, the ending will only be worse, but not the worst.

So is Li Shushi really mentally prepared for this change?

For such a question. No matter how thick Li Shushi's cheeks are exercised, he can't help but reply with a "hehe".

Although as a housekeeper, Li Shushi can point out the country and even inspire words when playing games, and even those role-playing S-RPGs often choose to rebel or overthrow the monarch and establish himself as the king. He looks like a careerist.

But reality is different from games after all. In the game, you have the opportunity to become a god-like being. But what about in reality? Even the smallest country in the world, such as Monaco and Andorra, has gone through many mysterious bloody winds to stand on the map today, and which of those growing companies across cities, regions, and countries has not experienced ups and downs, and which of them has survived in the end is not due to the efforts of generations of elites.

Not to mention that the political situation on the land of China has always adhered to the principle of "winner takes all". Compromise here only means the beginning of the "intermission" time rather than the generation of a stable structure, that is to say, once the start of construction, there is no turning back, and trying to win and find the "escaped one" is the only way out for Li Shushi.

Although his subordinates have a group of talents that are not inferior to any of the princes, it is up to him to really determine how high his own forces can finally go. Don't you see Guandu, Chibi, and Yiling, these are all excellent examples?

Can he afford the future of these people and their hopes for the future?

Now that Li Shushi has some intentions, Fu Zhu did not take the opportunity to increase the pressure on Li Shushi and let him make a decision quickly. Although this may allow Li Shushi to make some wrong judgments under great pressure, so as to gain more benefits, but because he is worried about the intervention of wise people like Cheng Yu and Jia Xu around Li Shushi, he is also worried that once the other party comes back to his senses, he will take negative or even other means in subsequent actions, even if it is not beneficial to himself, he will damage himself.

Therefore, he would rather take a step back and convey to the state with such an attitude that he expects sincere cooperation between the two sides.

"Although it is certain that Fu Gong and this trip must have something to want, it is indeed a very good opportunity."

Cheng Yu obviously noticed Li Shushi's slightly moved look, and Cheng Yu definitely supported Li Shushi's attitude.

After being coerced by Li Shushi into Xihe by practical means during the Yellow Turban Rebellion, Cheng Yu has been by Li Shushi's side for several years, and it can be said that Cheng Yu has followed Li Shushi almost the whole process of his career.

It can be said that up to now, Cheng Yu's body has laid a deep "merger" color, and at the same time, even if Cheng Yu himself agrees with the Bingzhou Army more deeply as he participates, the higher Cheng DΓΉ's expectations, the greater the expectations for the future development of the Bingzhou, after all, the overall framework of the Bingzhou has integrated too much Cheng Yu's hard work, and he also expects his hard work to be richly rewarded.

It's just that because of Li Shushi's personal attitude before, such thoughts can only be silently hidden or secretly make some small actions, but because of Jia Xu, Tong Yuan, and even Yan Zhong, these "eyes" are still in existence. Even if Cheng Yu has the heart, he is quite powerless.

But now in the face of this "pie" that fell from the sky and looked very delicious, even Li Shushi, who had been quite restrained before, looked a little ready to move, and it can be said that a clear crack has appeared in the originally solid and closed fortress.

At this time, if Cheng Yu doesn't take the opportunity to work hard, it will really be "there will be no store after this village".

Of course, the fact is that cracks are not the first time they have appeared today.

When Dong Zhuo threw out the huge bait of Lianghe, Li Shushi can be said to have finally eaten it without much thought, and thus confronted the coalition forces of the Kwantung princes who remained in Hebei for several months, and fought more than a dozen battles, large and small.

It's just that the focus of the world at that time was in Henan, and the two rivers belonged to the second battlefield, and the victory was gratifying, but the defeat would not affect the overall situation of Dong, not to mention that the final result was that the two sides had been in a stalemate. So there is no sustained leaven that eventually attracts more attention.

As for these two. It is because although the two rivers are looking at the population and wealth of a county, it is indeed worthy of the essence of the division, and it can add up to quadruple the strength of the state. However, whether it was the great turmoil in Hedong and the continuous harassment of the Bai Bo army, or the year-long war in Hanoi (from Dong Zhuo's defeat of Wang Kuang to the dissolution of the Dong coalition army), they all caused a lot of damage to the Lianghe region. Therefore, it also makes the world somewhat underestimate the multiplying role played by the two rivers in merging states.

Just as Yuan successfully annexed Austria and the Czech Sudetai region, he really had the confidence and strength to annex Europe. It would later lead to a series of wars against Czechoslovakia, Poland, and even France. It is precisely because I saw the positive effect of the acquisition of the two rivers region on the annexation of the state. Li Shushi was greatly shaken in his treatment of Jizhou.

"Aren't you afraid of failure? You must know that you all have a considerable status now, and you have also shown your talents to the world, even if there will be a strong majesty in the future. Your talent will not be buried......"

"Haha! Why do you think so, my lord? You must know that in Li's view, even if the lord's efforts fail, we will only return to the township party, just like the lord said, with our talents, even if we become officials again, I am afraid that it will be easy to get a very important position in the state and county. Not to mention that if we can succeed, our credit will be like the three heroes of the early Han Dynasty and the generals of Yuntai. On the contrary, if you fail, you must think carefully about how you should deal with yourself, you must know that in that case, you can be in place to stop the closure of the car is only one ride, the horse is only one horse, never more than a few people, how can it be like now. Those of us who like to think about ourselves do not feel that our future will be bleak after thinking about it carefully, so even if we are grateful for the lord's care for the ministers, we will privately feel that the lord really does not need to worry about the future of the ministers. ”

"But if I fail, I can run to the Western Regions, and I can still be called a lonely person. But you ......."

"Isn't that better? Since the lord and the ministers have no worries, why don't they give up their lives to fight? ”

"Huh? It turns out that there is still such a statement.,I feel like the things I used to struggle with seem to be a little unworthy.。 ”

"Should I say that I really deserve to be the lord? However, if the lord can have this ambition, which is what the ministers have always expected, then everyone will be more energetic in their future work. ”

So, when faced with frustration again the next day, the topic quickly shifted from "whether you should send troops to Jizhou" to "how you should enter Jizhou".

I always feel like a lot of interesting things have happened during the time I've been away.

Looking at Lu Bu, Zhang Jaw and the others who were gearing up on the side, as well as the overall atmosphere of the hall, which had become a little different, Fu Zhu felt that maybe he should make some slight adjustments to some of his previous plans, even though these adjustments were already in his calculations.

It's just that it didn't take long for the expression on Frustration's face to become less calm, from cautious to cold sweat, Frustrated felt that if he stayed in this hall for a while longer, maybe he would have a short life of ten years in the future...... At least.

For Li Shushi, although he has changed his original mind in a certain way, his thoughts will still not change in some core areas, that is, let those guys who are more proficient in a certain field than him do things, he can only guard the pulse of him on the side, and by the way, it is possible to be a logistics team leader, so that those geniuses have enough space to show.

As a result, what he had to face was no longer Li Shushi, a guy who seemed to be easier to deal with in the eyes of Fu Zhu, but an advanced mode of flickering composed of a "negotiation team" composed of Cheng Yu, Jia Xu, and others, plus a "stirring team" composed of Lu Bu, Zhao Yun, and others, who were specially used to disrupt the opponent's negotiation rhythm at certain times.

"Then on behalf of my lord, I hereby swear an oath with the state pastor to jointly fight against our enemies Yuan Benchu and Gongsun Bogui and Liu Gongshan and other princes. Among them, the governor sent 5,000 men to temporarily join our army in the name of 'righteous servants', and we have no command power over this army, but use our frustration and the army as the supervisor to coordinate the actions between the two sides. ”

Three days later, with the results of the talks, he returned to Wei County with a complicated heart. And those who arrived in Jizhou with him were Zhao Yun as the main general, Zhang Jaw and Zhao Zhao as deputy generals, and Liang Tian, Zhang Xu, and Jia Kui as the main staff officers...... Righteous from the troops.

I hope that Yan Liang, Wen Chou, and even Gao Ran will not be too surprised when they meet their old friends again.

Li Shushi, who was far away in Jinyang, seemed to have thought of something interesting, and a malicious smile appeared on his face. (To be continued......)
