76. Prepare for a decisive battle
"Headache ......"
Li Shushi sighed like this, while pressing his temples with his hands, trying to stimulate his tired mind with appropriate pain, but unfortunately, Yiqi's efforts were all in vain when he re-faced the face that could be ignored just now, and what was worse was that his head seemed to have a tendency to become more uncomfortable.
What a troublesome guy.
Li Shushi sighed in his heart again.
"Li Zhoumu looks very troubled."
"It's not because of you."
"In fact, it is very simple to solve this trouble, the old man has also said that loyalty is not a matter of the two masters, although Yuan Gong does not listen to what the old minister said, but after all, the monarch and the minister have been suitable for ten years, and I also ask Li Zhoumu to die to complete the old man's will."
"You're so light. If you want me to bear the name of 'harming loyalty', don't dream. ”
"So how does Li Zhoumu plan to treat the old decay, is it possible that he plans to lock up the old decay for the rest of his life."
"Okay, anyway, I don't have a lot of land and resources, and there is really no shortage of food for you to eat, even if you can't eat all the delicacies of the mountains and seas every day."
"But with the money spent on the old man, it must be enough for several families to live a prosperous life."
"Yes, yes, you also know that just raising you alone can make several families move towards a well-off, quite economically minded."
"You, Li Zhoumu don't want to misinterpret the old words."
"Where did I misinterpret it? Come on, come on, let's do the math. First of all, I must show my thirst for talented and virtuous people, I can't throw you into an ordinary prison, at least it should be a decent house, even if a house is rebuilt according to the most expensive method, the labor required will be enough for more than ten workers to work for half a year, and the salary paid to them will be enough to feed the family. If only they tried hard enough. The results of the work are also satisfactory, and after the house is completed, I will give them a thank you gift, which is about three months' salary, which can help them have a better life whether it is used for weekday expenses or special expenses during holidays.
You need at least ten jailers to take care of it, and you also need some people like cooks, handymen, etc. Of course, the cook can be dispensed with. After all, you can't eat much for three meals a day as an old man, and it doesn't take much to get a few dishes in a nearby restaurant. The jailers can also do the miscellaneous work for them, which can be regarded as saving unnecessary expenses. In this way, I will have to pay the salaries of the ten jailers, who will be included in the non-regular staff of the yamen, but the salaries will not be cut because of the pressure of work, as long as they work hard, not only can they do it for a long time, but they will also have red envelopes to receive during the winter festival.
If the previous work is a one-shot deal, then the later work is a long stream. But it doesn't matter what kind of work it is. They will all receive enough income to support their families. And their daily expenses will allow more people to earn money, so that everyone can use the money they earn to buy the goods they need, so even if the overall wealth of the society does not increase too much, the people will feel a sense of prosperity. And if I put the wealth plundered from elsewhere into this cycle of wealth, instead of throwing it in the treasury and rotting, the people will feel the benefits of victory.
Although you alone can not create many jobs, it does not mean that I am wasting money. Anyway, I'll collect all sorts of taxes from business taxes and poll taxes, you see. I'm not at a loss, no. ”
"It is said that Li Zhoumu likes to look at problems like a businessman, and now it seems that what he said is true."
"What about being like a businessman. At least my state is now rich and the people are safe, and goods from all over the world are gathered in Jinyang City. ”
"Hmph, the Tao is not the same."
"It's different, anyway, this kind of thing never needs to be agreed by everyone, as long as I follow the rules I set, I don't have any interest in whether he likes businessmen or hates businessmen. Anyway, as long as I get enough points in my Tocao assessment. ”
Although he said this, Li Shushi couldn't help but press his temples again.
He had been idle here for a long time, but the old man in front of him was like a stone that had fallen into a pit - it was smelly and hard, and he hoped that Li Shushi could kill him, but Li Shushi was still unwilling to do so. Even if both Xiaoqiang and Jia Xu both built yì Li Shushi from each other, even if the two of them had different reasons, it was really rare for the two of them to reach such the same conclusion, especially Xiaoqiang's expression did not look like a fake.
It's just that Li Shushi is really unwilling to kill the person in front of him, even if he also feels that the temper of the old man in front of him is really a headache - Tian Feng Yuanhao's stinky temper can't even get off the stage even if Yuan Shao, who has always liked to show his magnanimity in front of people, this guy like Wei Zheng doesn't have Wei Zheng's political wisdom, or Tian Feng, who is more like a straight cannon than Wei Zheng, really doesn't know what euphemism is, and naturally no one can pull back the things that he has identified.
It feels like a little strong with a cow's temper.
But even if it is Xiaoqiang, Li Shushi can sacrifice a big killer like Su Xiaololi, but for Tian Feng, Li Shushi is really useless.
This is also the reason why Xiaoqiang wants to slaughter Tian Feng - it is better to waste food if he stays dead, maybe he can add some nutrients to a tree, two flowers, and three grasses, maybe the next year will become more vibrant or something.
I just don't know if Xiaoqiang is planning to come to a trip of "planting a Tianfeng in the spring, and you can harvest a lot of Tianfeng in the autumn", but Li Shushi thinks that even if it can really be realized, the scene of a bunch of Tian Feng mentioning his life in his ears is too beautiful, he really doesn't dare to think about it, for fear that the next scene will be the scene of Xiao Qiang, who is incarnated as a monkey, angrily smashing a bunch of Tang Seng.
However, it is not for nothing that supports Li Shushi to keep Tian Feng, and he is also a very heavyweight role - it must be noted that this so-called "heavyweight" definitely does not refer to weight or anything, and Li Shushi definitely does not want to die so young.
Su Xiao Lori rarely expressed her opinion on this kind of thing, and everyone naturally had to listen to it, after all, if Su Xiao Lori was provoked, it was recorded in Lori's notepad, although Lori would not instigate Li Shushi to retaliate. That's definitely not because Lori gave up revenge, it's just that it's more effective for her to do it herself-can you imagine what kind of concept it would be for the entire circle of noble ladies in the state to jointly target a person, anyway, no one is going to try it, and the tease that has been tried has already fallen to his knees and bowed down.
However, Su Xiaololi's reason is very interesting - "It's good to hand over this Tian Yuanhao to Fu Gong He, if Fu Gong and Gong can't deal with it, it's not too late to slaughter him, and if you don't send him to a poor ravine to be a county magistrate, it's a waste utilization."
Li Shushi has reservations about the first half. But Li Shushi still thinks it's good for Su Xiaololi's second half of the mentions, but the premise is that Tian Feng can go to office with peace of mind, instead of running away halfway or digging a pit to bury himself.
It was only now that Li Shushi finally understood why Cao Cao would rather not have Tian Feng, a world-famous celebrity captive, also planned to abduct Gao Ran from Li Shushi, but unfortunately the latter did not wait for Zhang Jaw's round of emotional offensive to be used up, and he didn't say a word to push the gold mountain and fall the jade pillar, as can be seen on the battlefield, since Yan Liangwen and Chou both died in battle, the recent pressure on the local faction in Jizhou is not small, even those local people in Jizhou who are united around the two sons who are fighting for inheritance rights have lost their former prestige, It seems that everything is lower than the foreign faction. As the biggest hill of the local faction in Jizhou after Yan Liangwen Chou in the military, Gao Ran has been suppressed by those outsiders, I am afraid that even if he is not caught, he will not have a good time returning to Jizhou.
Well, in the end, Li Shushi had no choice but to take this stubborn old man, so he had to be temporarily imprisoned and brought back to Guanzhong to see what he could do, but Li Shushi didn't have any expectations. After all, although these two people are called together in the history of another plane, in fact, they have no personal relationship from the history books. The only similarity is that it belongs to the kind of decent people who disdain to form gangs, as for being a man, he is much stronger than Tian Feng, but in the end, he was also alienated by Yuan Shao because of his outspokenness, and the last one died generously in Cao Ying because of Yuan Shao, and the other died at the hands of Yuan Shao, who was angry and ashamed.
These two used their lives to continue the tradition of many generous and tragic people in the land of Yan Zhao.
It's just that in addition to making people sigh and annotating Yuan Shao's failure, it is useless.
Li Shushi's life in this battle is naturally not just a troublesome Tian Feng. In addition to the Gao Lan mentioned above, there are about tens of thousands of soldiers, and Li Shushi didn't have time to count the specific number of people, anyway, because there were a lot of people on his side, and Cao Ren and others, who had the most troops, were busy rescuing Cao Cao. Therefore, the number of soldiers collected and the prisoners captured were still considerable, and it could even be said that the one that gained the most that night.
For Li Shushi's behavior of picking a big peach without much effort, Cao Cao, the black-skinned dwarf, is naturally envious, jealous and hateful, but in his current state, it is really difficult to find trouble with Li Shushi - he was severely injured under the exhaustion of his strength, and it is enough to say that this black-skinned dwarf did not hang up on the spot, which is enough to show that he is indeed a very protagonist, and his life is at least hard enough, but at his current age, this kind of injury that is enough to shake his vitality is enough for him to recover in as little as half a year and as long as two or three years.
What is certain is that if it were not for Li Shushi's god-like self-healing spell, Li Shushi believed that even if the black-skinned dwarf recovered from his superficial pain, he would definitely leave a very troublesome dark disease, even if he was entangled with him for the rest of his life.
It's not for his own good partner who was born and died, Li Shushi naturally can't volunteer to waste his energy like he did with Zilongchan and Ziyi, and it is already benevolent and righteous to be able to let his own Lori leave a few recipes for the other party to regulate and nourish their spirits.
After all, the two of them are also competing for the world when they are seriously counted, and they can't wait for each other to be strange competitors the next day.
However, it is not completely without reason that Li Shushi will be so "generous", it is completely because of what Cao Cao said to himself after retiring everyone that day, which made Li Shushi really embarrassed not to take out something to pay for consulting.
Of course, it's better not to say too much about this kind of thing stuffing Cao Ren with a dozen fruits in private, after all, they are all brothers and brothers, but the two armies are their masters in front of the battle, so it's not good to talk about these things on personal relations.
However, the information provided by Cao Cao was very important.
Before, when this black-skinned dwarf was conquering Yuan Shu, he had also encountered those undead who couldn't be cut to death no matter how he cut it, and it was precisely because of this sudden change that Cao Cao was almost made into barbecue meat in Shouchun City, although the meat of the black-skinned dwarf was not only sour, but also contained a lot of toxins. But the deceased who want to have a good tooth mouth will not care about this kind of thing.
Cao Cao didn't know where these undead came from, but based on the information obtained by Li Shushi during his expedition to the northern grasslands, he was basically able to sketch the general outline of the matter, although it was not very clear, but it was better than Cao Cao's eyes.
"We don't have time to go any further. God knows if the mastermind behind the vast amount of power drawn from the undead in the north has already used that power. There may even be a soul that has trained a strong army, and compared to the steppe tribes whose tactical thinking is still very simple, this time our opponent is only afraid that it will be even more terrifying. ”
Li Shushi's words were agreed by everyone, but although they said so, the enemy in Guanzhong was afraid that they could not be driven away, and even if so much time had passed, the Bingzhou army that dispatched the army still did not make much progress.
I have to say that although after several years of accumulation, the state army has not yet felt the pressure on grain and grass, but if the time continues to delay. Such a large army will inevitably crowd out the use of agricultural time, and more importantly, Li Shushi's plan for the "transformation of Guanzhong" will also be greatly affected, and all kinds of manpower and material resources invested in the preliminary preparations will also be wasted.
This is absolutely not allowed for a qualified businessman.
"Is this a trick to force me to use big shots?"
Li Shushi swore with a swear on his face when he said this, as if he really seemed to have some treasure that could reverse the cause and effect of the realm, as long as he waved his hand, he could destroy the opponent's inherent enchantment, or have the key to a certain treasure house, and with a slight wave of his hand, countless strange treasures would poke out from the void behind him. It fell like a torrential rain on the earth.
"Ahh Saito, who was working hard in Jinyang, suddenly sneezed loudly.
"Saito, what's wrong with you? It seems that ghosts don't catch colds like ordinary people. Du En, a good friend who is inseparable from Saito, tilted his head cutely, and even a straight hair stood up on the top of his head. Then swayed from side to side, looking ignorant.
"No, it has to be that fake, or that bastard trying to use me for something bad!" Although the blonde girl has a delicate face like a doll, her distorted expression and scarlet eyes destroy the original beauty, and instead add a bit of madness. It's just that in the eyes of the green-haired hairy lady next to her, this appearance is also very cute.
It's like a very independent and extremely humane Chinese pastoral dog.
Of course, Li Shushi, who thought he had said very handsome words, was ignored by everyone, and only Su Xiaololi looked at Li Shushi with a smiling expression, but finally did not laugh at Li Shushi. It's like a tolerant mother who treats her naughty and naughty son, not only does not complain about the child's naughtiness, but embraces the child's nonsense with a gentle smile.
Hey, hey, even if Li Shushi is often handsome for no more than three seconds, he doesn't need to treat it with this attitude of not giving up treatment.
Obviously, Xiaoqiang needs treatment more than him.
"We've given up on the idea of treating cockroaches, but you can still save it, my lord."
――Use this sentence as a mending knife, Su Xiaololi, you are also ruthless enough.
However, there is no objection to Li Shushi's idea of ending the Guanzhong War. Not only because the war in Guanzhong has consumed too much of the military reserves of the Bingzhou army, but also delayed a series of preparation plans for the Bingzhou army, but more importantly, now that Yuan Shao was defeated and lost, the Bingzhou army continued to withdraw from the war in Guanzhong to devote itself to the war against Jizhou.
Regardless of whether Yuan Shao is dead or alive, the defeat of this war is a great blow to Jizhou. Under the circumstance that Cao Cao's army had not completely lost its combat effectiveness, and even had a lot of surplus strength in some way, if Li Shushi did not hurry up and act, then Cao Cao would definitely not mind occupying the vast and fertile land, including Jizhou and Qingzhou.
If Cao Cao's army had become a vassal, including almost the entire Hebei Plain, it would have been easy for the other side to accumulate enough strength to confront the formidable enemies hidden behind the scenes, and even if the two regimes eventually faced off in the north, it would not be entirely impossible.
Don't think that just because Cao Cao told him about his worries about the southeast and once again reiterated the strategic cooperative relationship between the two sides, he will really give up his determination to complete the unification of the world by himself, maybe now because he has just suffered a heavy blow, and he does feel the huge threat from the outside world to maintain his goodwill towards the Bingzhou army, but whether such goodwill will be maintained with the expansion of his own strength, not to mention Li Shushi and the people of the Bingzhou army, even Cao Cao himself dare not guarantee.
-- I can guarantee that it is also a lie.
It is not only to ensure the interests of their own forces, but also to allow everyone to deal with the terrible disaster with more peace of mind, and the state army must at least gain enough benefits in the next attack on Jizhou.
But how do they get out of the quagmire in Guanzhong? (To be continued......)
