The Games are over, and most of Xihe has entered a rare tranquility in winter. (If you like this book, please bookmark biquge.info)

Although Xihe was not a theoretical frontier of the Han Dynasty, since the rule of the Shangjun on the west side of the Xihe River of the Han Dynasty was almost lost, Xihe already needed to face the front of foreign soldiers. Because of the existence of the Xiongnu royal court, it was not so easy to cross the Yellow River due to the invasion from the west. But even so, the residents who had been terrified three times a day fled in large numbers in the face of draconian laws.

However, now that the Xianbei people in civil strife were obviously unable to organize a large army across Yanmen County, there were many conflicts in the past, and the Karasuma people, who had tasted the sweetness of trade with the Han people, also gave up the more dangerous and likely to face the revenge of the increasingly powerful Xihe soldiers for the sake of their own reputation. The most important thing is that this is not only the tribal alliance of Xihe Karasuma, which can be regarded as the local indigenous people, but also the Karasuma tribe from Taiyuan County, which has been competing with Xihe Karasuma for territory. Because they were also willing to use a safer way to obtain knowledge and materials for the Han Chinese.

In addition, although this year's year is average, there is no extreme weather, except for the cold wind from the north that arrives a few days earlier than usual, so that the people of Xihe feel the cold of winter in advance. However, because of the gradual popularization of the ondol, at least staying in their own homes in winter is still a very warm and comfortable thing, and looking at the barns that have become relatively full because of the lighter taxes, many people are already considering whether they should use these grains to make some wine?

Of course, the most important thing is that because of the heavy snow in winter, it is obviously impossible to go out and do something to make money, so it can be expected that before the winter next year, maybe Xihe will usher in a peak period of fertility.

However, the above beautiful and leisurely winter life belongs to the common people, who not only cannot enjoy the contrast brought by the fire kang in winter, but also need to be driven into the icy cold wind, and sometimes need to be soaked in the river water that has chiseled the surface ice. These people are the defenders of the stable life of Xihe, the garrison of Xihe.

"Fengxian, you see, can they withstand my plan."

"If you just look at the fighting skills and the will to fight, I don't think they are inferior to, no, even better than those alien soldiers in some ways. Although there is a big gap in experience, except for a few elite troops of large tribes, our side is better equipped, and with the right tactics and brains, these gaps can be bridged. ”

"If that's the case, then why are you so hesitant about this plan?"

"Shushi, you should know that I broke through the name of a 'flying general' when I was in the state army, so naturally I have done some research on the most famous 'flying general' of my Han Dynasty to see what similarities I have with him."

"The result?" Hearing Lu Bu mention Li Guang's matter, Li Shushi felt that he knew a little bit about what Lu Bu was worried about.

"With the flying general Li Guangzhi and successively served as the guard of Longxi, Shanggu, Yanmen, and Youbeiping, there is still the difficulty of getting lost, most of our soldiers and soldiers are from the Central Plains, and we can't find reliable guides to guide us, I am afraid that ten soldiers can go out and come back three is already an encouraging thing. What's more, the enemy is good at running, and if the scouts are unfavorable, even the chances of escaping are very slim. ”

It turned out that Li Shushi was planning to plan a plan, a plan to fight back against the grassland.

Now the Xianbei people are in civil strife, and no leader or tribe can occupy a greater advantage. This also led them to enter the border, but they were no longer able to organize a large-scale force. What's more, when you go out to raid, you also need to worry about your back, so the time of looting has also changed from a large-scale detour to a small fight.

As for the other forces, Li Shushi believed that the soldiers of Xihe County could rely on the advantages of numbers and geography to defeat them.

As a result, Li Shushi moved his mind to throw the elite under his command into the grassland to fish in troubled waters. In this way, you can train your troops, and secondly, it will also make the time of the grassland melee longer, so that it can also buy more time for Xihe and even the Han to recover. Although Li Shushi didn't have much hope for the latter, it just was.

However, Li Shushi's good wish was drenched from head to feet by Lu Bu as a basin of cold water, and he was poured such a basin of cold water in the cold winter, Li Shushi's feeling can be imagined.

Of course, this is not to say that Lu Bu directly rejected Li Shushi's proposal. After all, as far as Li Shushi's observation goes, Lu Bu is actually quite interested in Li Shushi's suggestion. Especially after discussing martial arts with Wang Yue and Tong Yuan, Lu Bu eagerly hoped to get more actual combat to explore his own path of enlightenment. Therefore, the plan proposed by Li Shushi is as refreshing and timely as someone bringing a pillow when you are sleepy.

It's just that Lu Bu is not a young and vigorous young man when he was in the middle of the border plug after all, although he is still a little proud, but after all, he has led the troops for so long as a leading general, and knows how to calculate the battle damage that may occur in a battle or a battle, and in the face of such huge losses, even Lu Bu couldn't help frowning.

"Woooooooooo......oo That's a real headache. "No matter how good your skills are, you can't see people, don't talk about whether you get lost or not, just how to supply food on the grassland can make the small troops who run long distances collectively blind.

Intelligence, intelligence, this is completely a lack of intelligence. But even if they knew Li Shushi, they couldn't do anything, even the caravans of the Li family in Xihe, which had the closest relationship with the aliens, they rarely reached the depths of the grassland, after all, the materials they trafficked would basically be bought up by the aliens along the way, and there was no need to extend the trade route to a completely unknown danger.

As a result, this plan, which made both of them extremely tempted, had to be stillborn, making the two people melancholy.

However, it is clear that these two people are not the two most depressed people in this big man.

"Majesty, Sikong-sama, Sikong-sama, he, he ......"

Xihe and his party, Liu Hong gained a lot, in addition to letting the Xiongnu Shan Yu see the majesty of the Han Dynasty, but also saw a unique sports meeting, and also got a lot of new ways to make money, Liu Hong's recent mood is also quite good.

On the way back to Luoyang, Liu Hong was still pondering whether to build a magnificent stadium near Luoyang, and then practice Li Shushi's one-stop industry of speculating on land, selling advertisements, and setting up supporting services.

But he never thought that not long after he returned to the capital Luoyang, he saw Zhao Zhong enter his study with a flustered Lang official under the Sikong Mansion. That Lang Guan looked panicked and his face was sad, obviously something very bad had happened.

"Mother, what's going on, what happened to Yang Sikong."

Seeing that the person who reported the news was crying loudly, tears were falling, and he looked speechless, although Liu Hong was anxious, but when he saw this situation, he could only turn his inquiring eyes to Zhao Zhong, the middle attendant who led people in.

"This ...... I don't know. The minister only knew that at the beginning of the year, there was news from Lord Yang's mansion that Lord Yang had been recuperated by a famous doctor, and his complexion had improved a lot. Later, Lord Yang served as the secretary on behalf of Lord Zhang, and he slept all night, which seemed to confirm the words of Yang Fu. But now listening to this person's words, I'm afraid that Lord Yang's body may be a little repetitive. ”

After listening to Zhao Zhong's words, Liu Hong's mood, which had been quite good after returning from Xihe, immediately became bad. And the person who made Liu Hong feel bad was the Sikong Lord in the mouth of Lang Guan, who fell to the ground - Yang Ci, the Great Han Sikong.

Yang Ci's position in Liu Hong's mind is very special, on the one hand, he comes from the Hongnong Yang family, and is the inheritor of the famous academic work "Ouyang Shangshu" in the Han Dynasty, that is to say, Yang Ci's family is very knowledgeable, and it is a famous academic gate valve of the Eastern Han Dynasty.

Yang Ci's father Yang Bing and grandfather Yang Zhen are not only great Confucians, but also have been three dukes, if it weren't for Yang Zhen's father Yang Bao is a real hermit, in addition to reading and teaching all his life, he has repeatedly rejected Liu Xiu's conquest, it is estimated that the Yang family will be able to reach the "four worlds and three dukes" in Yang Ci's generation. But even so, the Yang family also accomplished this feat in the generation of Yang Ci's son Yang Biao.

It stands to reason that such a scholar from the gate valve should have a tense relationship with the emperor. Unfortunately, not really.

The relationship between Yang Ci and the eunuchs is really bad, but the relationship with Emperor Liu Hong is really not bad. Why? Two words, emperor. At that time, Yang Ci and the then Taiwei Liu Kuan, and the then Sikong Zhang Ji (not Zhang Xiu's uncle, this Zhang Ji was a native of Runan, a descendant of a serious official family) taught Liu Hong together and also worked part-time as a policy consultant.

Although Liu Hong is a little confused in many places where the emperor's profession is needed, it does not mean that he is stupid and has low emotional intelligence. Yang Ci's uprightness, Liu Kuan's generosity and Zhang Ji's elegance all left a deep impression on Liu Hong back then, and the most impressive of them was Yang Ci's uprightness. After all, although Liu Kuan is generous, but he is like a lucky cat, he will only smile and beckon, and he has little achievements in the disadvantages of the Han Dynasty, although Zhang Ji is elegant, but in the face of rampant eunuchs, he is also a little like a noodle, and only Yang Ci has backbone and courage, so that the young Liu Hong has a sense of admiration.

Of course, there were many backbone and talented officials in the Han Dynasty, but few of the outspoken people survived. Only Yang Ci is not only fine, but Liu Hong often rewards some things so that Lao Yang does not get angry and spoils his body, which cannot but be said because the relationship between the two people is very close, otherwise Yang Ci probably wouldn't know where he was buried.

From this, you can also see that the relationship between Liu Hong and Yang Ci is really good, and even the ten permanent servants who are called "parents" cannot shake the relationship between the two people. No, when Liu Hong wanted to rectify the rule of officials, he brought Yang Ci out again.

Therefore, when Liu Hong heard the news that Yang Ci was critically ill, it was really like a bolt from the blue to him.
