"This Zhang Zixiang really gave me a big problem."
Thinking of Zhang Yan's request, although he understood the other party's position very well, Li Shushi still couldn't help but shake his head.
Zhang Yan's purpose is not difficult to guess, and it is precisely for this reason that Li Shushi really found a suitable enough reason to reject Zhang Yan's request—even if Lu Zhi had entrusted Shuozhou and his unfinished business to him, and he was also qualified to do so.
After all, Lu Zhi helped Li Shushi a lot at the beginning, and then persevered in the bitter cold land of Shuozhou until now, and now he has given up his already large-scale forces for the sake of the country and his own ideals and still goes to the dangerous place of Chang'an. is reasonable, public and private, even if Zhang Yan does not take the initiative to bring it up, Li Shushi will always pay attention to the situation in Chang'an.
However, he agreed to Zhang Yan's request, but Li Shushi had to reconsider his previous plan.
Shangjun had a very special place in Li Shushi's previous plan, because it was connected to a somewhat special piece of land - Beidi County, although it still nominally belonged to Liangzhou, but in fact, like most of the land in Shuozhou, had basically been abandoned by the Han Dynasty, leaving only a small piece of land in Sanfu to leave a little bit of fire.
This should be the origin of the so-called "overseas Chinese".
It was known in the Han Dynasty, and then it was waved to the extreme in the Eastern Jin Dynasty, which can be called a model of covering ears and stealing bells.
Some people may say that this was the political axe at that time to express his determination to recover his homeland, but in fact, the result of this basically did not achieve the original purpose, the land is still constantly encroached, and even the Ling Emperor Liu Hong planned to use Li Shushi's Xihe victory to forcibly move the overseas Chinese government back to its original location, but only walked to Anding County and could no longer walk, because the Qiang Rebellion came again.
Under Nai, the migrated army had to return to Sanfu, and finally took root near Zuo Fengyi's Pinyang County.
The governance office of Beidi County is called Fuping, so the Qiaozhi Beidi County Governance Office settled in Pinyang County also followed this place name, so more than 17oo years later, the most king of the Central Plains Dynasty was born here, and people have forgotten the meaning of the place name in the past.
Not to mention that if there was no Li Shushi's appearance, a certain Xianbei communist lord would actually have died under the walls of Lian County, another important town in Beidi County, just like Pang Tong under the city of Luocheng and the open jaw of Mumendao who was hit by an arrow in his knee, full of melancholy and pathos.
A large part of the reason why the northern and northwestern border counties were abandoned by the northern and northwestern border counties is that they are all typical of the Loess Plateau, although it is not too lacking in water, but the ravines and ravines are difficult to provide enough food and grass for the soldiers and their mounts guarding the border fortress, in order to make up for these food and grass shortages, it is necessary to transport all kinds of supplies from the fertile land of the Central Plains - constantly transfusing blood for the border fortress at a ratio of one out of ten. After all, the legendary artifact of Muliu cattle and horses is too difficult to realize, so most of the supplies transported are still consumed on the road, whether it is [***] spoiled or eaten by people and horses. The former may be able to endure it, after all, it can be dealt with after steaming, and the latter is a loss that is completely avoided by the law.
Over time, this kind of behavior of constantly bleeding the body without much benefit was gradually replaced by the method of Hu to control Hu.
As for later, it became the current situation, and it was difficult to return to the point where the Hu people could almost face the Sanfu and Sanhe regions.
Although Shangjun has gradually begun to regain popularity under Lu Zhi's governance, it has not completely changed the previous blood transfusion model, but the object of blood transfusion has changed from the hinterland of the Central Plains to Xihe, after all, Li Shushi not only left a military system there, but also the efforts of Guò Luohe, where the grain production has increased a lot, which gives Lu Zhi enough confidence to use this blood transfusion method to expand, after all, the supply loss of the two adjacent places will be much less.
And Li Shushi wants to take Shangjun into his hands, because he wants to run this place as a base for his westward expansion.
Although in the modern society of science and technology, Shangjun and Beidi County are still plagued by various natural or man-made environmental problems, Li Shushi still has a way.
One is to let a certain beautiful woman who likes to sort out all kinds of flowers and plants, especially food crops, in addition to being friends with all kinds of beasts, go to the other side of the world to see if she can get some high-yield crops, anyway, even the Arctic Ocean is nothing to that person, anyway, according to her own words, she comes from a place where heavy snow does not stop all year round, so whether it is the Arctic Ocean or the Bering Strait, it is a small netbsp for her; Another way is to turn to a middle-aged uncle who also likes to play with flowers and plants (the actual age position, so only based on the physiognomy table xiàn, although limited by the lack of chemical fertilizer in the hand, it is impossible to let the land provide more nutrients, but the joint breeding and improvement or something can still be discussed, by the way, you can also talk about climate issues. With some large and small water conservancy facilities, in this era when the vegetation has not been destroyed by Yanzhòng, it is still possible to maintain a population of 200,000 in Shangjun.
If the Upper County can be self-sufficient, it will be easier to enter the Northlands as the next step. And if you control the northern land, you can form a flank attack on Wuwei and Jincheng with the three counties of Hexi controlled by Li Shushi, if Dong Zhuo really has three long and two short, Li Shushi will have enough strategic advantages, and when the time comes, whether to fight or make peace with Li Dao and Guo Yan, the remnants of Dong Zhuojun, is not based on the wishes of the other party, but on the needs of Li Shushi's side at that time.
Of course, this qiē strategy envisioned that Li Shushi's plan could be thoroughly implemented in Shangjun, and if it were Zhang Yan, Li Shushi was not sure whether the other party could do this.
Of course, if you want to reach Northland County, you can't only take the road to the county, in fact, the northern part of Northland County is not too far from Shuofang County, but it is just separated by the Ulan Bu and Kubuqi Desert...... It's just a desert...... Nothing more......
Li Shushi felt that he no longer even had the strength to smash the cup and lift the table.
"Actually, the fact that Zhang Yan went to Shangjun is not too bad for the lord."
Li Shushi has similar thoughts about Huang Zhong's statement, even if he doesn't need to explain it-after all, he doesn't know how long Dong Zhuo will live, so there is no need to make such an aggressive posture in the direction of Xiliang for the time being, but Zhang Yan can make some "excessive" moves because of Lu Zhi, and he can test Dong Zhuo's thoughts at this time for Li Shushi.
"But what is the plan of the lord of the cloud to guard this position? Since Zhang Yan was going to Shangjun, how about slightly modifying Ziyi and sending Ziyi to Yunzhong according to the previous plan? Anyway, Yi Ziyi's ability will have a very good performance wherever he is. ”
Speaking of which, Huang Zhong and Tai Shici, a pair of good opponents, good shooters, and big enemies in history, got together and made them superiors and subordinates, which naturally contains a certain evil taste that Li Shushi does not know about.
Zhang Yan's matter can already be put aside, anyway, with the Yellow Turban Army, which still continues Li Shushi's military cantonment system until now, I don't know whether to call them soldiers or peasants, or compromise to call them militia groups, the judgment of the battlefield situation may not be as accurate and reliable as the judgment of land moisture and crop growth, Li Shushi's annexation of the state for so many years has not provided good seeds to Shuozhou, especially the old relations in Xihe, and the promotion of crops is not too difficult.
Luohe's products must be high-quality.
It's a big deal to try to plant in a small area in Bingzhou as before, as long as the number is beautiful enough, those powerful families will definitely not be polite.
In fact, in Bingzhou, Li Shushi's good breed has gradually become his link with the powerful families.
Now we want to talk about the issue of the three counties on the northern border of Shuozhou.
"This one...... This is where I find it difficult, because I always feel that Ziyi's going to the clouds seems to have wasted his ability in governance. However, if you want Shuofang to replace the role of Shangjun, Yi Ziyi's experience seems to be slightly insufficient. ”
Among the three counties in the northern border of the five plains, the matter of the five plains is the simplest, the authority of the little emperor has been left and the Huns have also been demolished, Lu Yi finally can no longer bear it, and has agreed with Lu Zhi before that the main forces of the Hu people will be completely swept away from the five plains, Lu Zhi recommended him as the Taishou of the five plains, but because Lu Zhi likes to advance slowly and steadily, unless he encounters a good opportunity, he will be reckless and reckless, and strive to kill with a blow, so until now the head is still the title of "making the Huns Zhonglang General".
Now that Li Shushi has been replaced, it is just to implement this big cake drawn by Lu Zhi in advance, anyway, Lu Yi has followed Li Shushi and Lu Zhi for so many years, although he does not have much talent in governing internal affairs, but it is no problem for the general Tun Mintun to look like it.
However, Shuo Fang's situation has become different from before because of the emergence of Zhang Yan's variable.
Originally, in Li Shushi's plan, the problem of Shuofang County was actually not big, don't look at Shuofang County is still in a state of dissociation, but the main forces there are the Huns who belong to the Ministry of Youxian Wang, except for the Xianbei people. Among them, the power of the Xianbei people has been greatly weakened, and the right Xianwang is ...... Ahem, just let Yuvro know.
Therefore, Li Shushi's favorite candidate for Shuo Fang Taishou was the old courtier Wei Yue, not only because he was more familiar with Shuo Fang's situation, but also Wei Yue did the work of a scribe when he was young, and he often had to undertake clerical work under Lu Bu.
In addition, with Ko Yi and Tai Shici in the south as backups, the algorithm can also leave enough time for Li Shushi to react even if he resists the invasion of the army. As for the small disturbance, it is not a problem, and it is quite a bit of the arrogant posture promised by Wei Yan when he was too punctual in Hanzhong in history.
But now the situation has become a little different, because of the change of plan, Li Shushi hopes that Shuofang Taishou can not only ensure the stability of the border fortress militarily, but also establish a stable and effective defense system and support base in the Hetao area, so that this place will become Li Shushi's rear base camp further into the depths of the grassland to the north, and to the south, he can go up the Yellow River and exert influence from the state of Beidi and Wuwei County, which echoes each other as horns with the three counties of Hexi.
In this way, the burden on Shuofang Taishou became extremely heavy, and Li Shushi did not have the ability to pour out the manpower and material resources of the whole country like Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, so it would take a long time for the Taishou there to complete Li Shushi's plan.
The hardships and loneliness, hard work and watchfulness, I feel my scalp numb when I think about it.
If Lu Zhi's previous actions were admirable enough, then it is no exaggeration to say that what this Shuo Fang Taishou needed to accomplish was enough to go down in history, because his efforts changed the Central Plains Dynasty's ability to deal with the grassland.
Of course, it also advanced the defense of the hinterland of the Central Plains to the north by nearly 100 kilometers.
Under such a request, although Tai Shici's ability is not weak, is it really okay to let him stay in such a place for a long time?
Whether Tai Shici has the ability to complete Li Shushi's plan is one thing, and whether he is willing to endure the loneliness of at least five years or more than ten years is also one thing. At least under Li Shushi's command, there are such people, but there are not too many.
Speaking of which, Li Shushi once again thought of Du Ji who followed Lu Zhi to Chang'an, if that person was still in Shuozhou, Li Shushi could completely hand over Shuofang to him, and then let Wei Yue focus on a military commander, they might be able to cooperate well.
I just never expected it......
"I do! The eldest husband should have carried a three-foot sword and made immortal achievements, how could it be difficult to scare me Taishi Ziyi! ”
This categorical attitude and unquestionable tone really made Li Shushi not know what language to use to answer.
"Hey, hey, hey! Shuofang is not as good as Yanmen and Yunzhong, where there is nothing bare, just some ruins, and everything needs to be self-sufficient and self-reliant. And even if you are young, it is not a bad thing to accumulate experience in ten years on the ground, but what about your wife, do you take it with you or stay in Jinyang? ”
"It's easy to do. Ziyi is willing to go to Biansai to serve the country, and his mother is also very supportive of Zaixia's idea, but since he is working for the lord below, then the lord should also solve his worries for Zaixia. Besides, my mother has always liked Mrs. Su very much, and with Mrs. Su's medical skills, compared to my careless son, Mrs. Su should be able to arrange a qiē properly. ”
Well, after following Li Shushi for so many years, Tai Shici, a former five-good boy, has also learned badly now.
"Okay then, what do you think is the biggest difficulty in completing this task?"
"If I had to say it, I think one is time and the other is population."
"Very interesting idea, I'd like to hear it explained in detail."
"Whether it is Meng Tian, the general of the previous dynasty, or the later Xiaowu Emperor to build Shuofang City, the personnel used are based on 100,000, if we don't get Hedong and Hanoi, maybe after the 100,000 young and strong people are put together, there will be no available soldiers, and there are not many farmers who can be used to cultivate the land. Therefore, the most important thing for the governance of Shuofang is not to be anxious, but to do it little by little. ”
"I understand what you're thinking, so what are you going to do with Shuofang and the aliens around you."
"Then it depends on what the lord wants to make Shuo Fang become. If I want to have fertile land there, I will choose to let my soldiers intermarry with those Huns and even Xianbei people, and then let the military and Mintun gradually spread all over Shuofang. As long as they wanted to, after two or three generations, the Hu people would forget how to fight on horseback, as we see with some Karasuma tribes. ”
Tai Shici is very confident, and Li Shushi also believes that his self-confidence is not targeted, because this is the strong assimilation ability of the farming civilization to the grassland civilization, because the degree of creation and accumulation of wealth by the farming civilization is several times that of the grassland civilization.
"So what if I don't want it to be all good land?"
"Then I will learn from what you did when you were in Xihe, and use the merchants to gradually trap those Hu people on our side, and at the same time control some of the merchants, so that the merchants do not become the ones who disrupt our plans. In addition, if the lord, or Fengxian, Zilong, and Wenqiao can marry those aliens, I believe that the lord's idea can be well completed. ”
"You kid, then we're going to get married, what about yourself? I remember your mother waiting to hold her grandson. ”
"The eldest son of the subordinate should be completely of Han blood......
"Hmph, with your current mentality, there may be problems when governing Shuofang~"
Of course, this is definitely Li Shushi's intimidation of Tai Shici, because Tai Shici is actually a person who has a clear distinction between public and private, even if he really has any thoughts in his heart, he will never express them in official affairs, and this is enough for Hu Ren.
Fairness and justice, Tan Shihuai has relied on this to establish a high prestige among the Xianbei tribes, and the same is true of Huangfu Gui and Zhang Huan, as long as you can achieve basic fairness, those Hu people who like to go straight will easily believe your decision.
Don't think they're stupid, their IQ isn't much lower than yours, it's just that the harsh environment of the grassland has made them develop a straightforward and tenacious character, and the lack of enough knowledge has made them not broaden their horizons enough.
"In this way, Shuo Fang's affairs will be handed over to you. In addition, you choose a civil servant, and for the aliens, indoctrination should be of equal importance to food, and those who are calculating will allow you to supervise the cunning merchants. ”
"In that case, you're welcome."
"You're welcome, letting the little ones go through the toughest places for a few years will help them grow up with the same amount of time as they would in the classroom."
It's just that Shuofang Taishou has a suitable candidate, so who should the vacated Yunzhong County hand over? Let Wei Yue do it?
Li Shushi rejected this idea in his heart, because a good candidate appeared in his heart.
If this is the case, then the Hu people in the northern border are only afraid that they will be unlucky.
Thinking of those bitter faces, Li Shushi couldn't help but show a happy ♂ smile. To be continued. )
