【Chapter 379】 Look at the world
The frost is falling, and autumn is getting stronger.
Hugh slaughtered the city.
On the grass to the west of Hugh Slaughterhouse.
This is the place where Li Li subdued Huan Fei in the past, and it is also the place where a pair of golden beasts were captured.
It is a blessing for people to revisit the old place.
On the meadows, the pastures have withered and yellowed; As far as the eye can see, the whole place is golden, and it is magnificent.
At the foot of the mountain, the stream is murmuring, the water flow is clear, and the birds can be faintly seen in the stream to quench their thirst, and the wild ducks play in the water, a quiet and peaceful image.
In the sky, a flock of geese fly south, horizontally in rows, longitudinally, fluttering their wings and soaring.
"In the sky, the wild geese are lined up in pairs;
The stream grows and the autumn grass is yellow, and the sound of the piano on the grassland is melodious.
The wild goose flew south over the old place;
Where are the wild geese going, and in my heart is the hometown of the north.
The wild goose to the sky, how far away the sky is;
Drink the wine dry and fill it up, and if you don't get drunk tonight, you won't return it———"
"Ding Ding Dong??? Boom! ”
On the hill and grass, Li Li sat on the ground, touching the scene and singing the once familiar melody. Dian Wuflaw snuggled in his arms affectionately, quietly listening to his rich and magnetic singing, looking at the man's handsome face with a pair of bright eyes, he couldn't help but show a look of infatuation. Next to the two of them, there was a guqin brought by the soldiers, and He Ying, who was dressed in an autumn dress and skirt, plucked the strings with Li Li's singing, and the sound of the piano was very consistent with the melody in Li Li's memory.
When Li Li's singing fell, but seeing He Ying's fingers caressing the strings, Zuihou's piano note fell at the right time, and then the singing and piano stopped abruptly, and the song ended perfectly. Throughout the process, her piano music and Li Li's singing complement each other, and they cooperate very tacitly.
This extremely famous song in later generations originally had a low melody with a touch of sadness and nostalgia, and the artistic conception was far-reaching. But Li Li changed slightly in the singing. The low and sad part is removed, and the song is reinterpreted with a positive and rich voice, which is born from the heart and slightly different from the melody in memory. However, He Ying was able to follow his singing voice closely, plucked the strings, and played a piece of music that made him feel familiar and light and soothing, naturally changing part of the melody, and the rhythm was coherent and in one go, without any sense of sluggishness.
When the piano sound ended, Li Li couldn't help but sigh that He Ying's piano skills were outstanding. Listen to the strings and know the elegance, and the rhythm is free, and the attainments are very profound. This can't help but remind him of a person who is proficient in music and rhythm in this era, a Jiangnan genius who is widely known in later generations, and Jiangdong Mei Zhou Lang - Zhou Yu and Zhou Gongjin, who is known as "Zhou Lang Gu who has a wrong song".
However, Zhou Yu should still be a teenager now. At most, he is the same age as Li Xian, and he has not yet been crowned. He also did not follow Sun Ce to Jiangdong. Perhaps he is now immersed in hard work. I hope to be able to get ahead in this troubled world and shine in the near future!
Thinking of the endless sages and talents that would spring up in the Jiangnan area like mushrooms after a rain, Li Li couldn't help but be very fascinated by the states and counties in the Central Plains, and he was a little quiet. He really wanted to take time out to personally travel to the Central Plains and the areas south of the Yangtze River, so that he could personally see the situation and topography of the Central Plains. I can also get close to some young talents. Along the way, you can also observe the people's feelings and public opinions, and by the way, pay attention to the troubled beauties that will be passed down to future generations.
After all, the topography of the Eastern Han Dynasty is very different from the topography after 1,800 years, and the geographical environment is almost completely different. And Li Li has been reborn. The farthest is to go to Yanzhou Chenliu and Sili and other places, in addition to staying in Xiliang. His understanding of the topography and political situation of the prefectures and counties in the Central Plains and the area south of the Yangtze River is limited to the records of bamboo slips on the surface and the notes submitted by the county guards and assassins in various places. It is based on the topography of the Central Plains and the landform of the south of the Yangtze River in his mind, which are still the memories of later generations. Strictly speaking, he now knows almost nothing about the geography of other states and counties, and it is difficult to imagine what Jiangnan will be like today.
It's just that this idea of traveling to the Central Plains and the states and counties in the south of the Yangtze River is obviously unrealistic for Li Li's status today. He can only reverie in his heart, but it is difficult to put it into action. After all, he now holds a male soldier in his hand, and his official residence is the general of the expedition to the west, comparable to the three dukes, secretly controlling the Chang'an court, putting the Son of Heaven in the palm of his hand, and ruling the bull's ear of the world.
As far as the current situation in the world is concerned, Li Li can sit in Liangzhou, remotely control the situation in Chang'an through Li Xuan and Li Ru, and push Li Dao to the court to mediate with hundreds of officials. But this is only a stopgap measure, and maintaining a delicate balance for the time being will not last long. Moreover, Li Li could not leave the territory of Xiliang, once the news of his departure from Xiliang leaked out, the situation in Xiliang was worrying. I'm afraid that many long-dormant cows, ghosts, snakes, and gods will jump out to make waves and disrupt the political situation in Chang'an, which will affect the entire Xiliang situation, so that the situation that has finally stabilized in Xiliang will be reversed in an instant, and it will be turbulent again.
"My husband has something on my mind, I wonder if the concubine can share her husband's worries?" On the grass, Dian Wuflaw and He Ying's two daughters leaned on Li Li's shoulders one left and one right, seeing Li Li's preoccupied appearance, the two daughters glanced at each other, and then Dian Wufang asked softly.
Hearing Dian Wufang's worried voice, Li Li immediately retracted his mind, reached out to hold the hands of Dian Wufang and He Ying's two daughters, and said with a smile: "I can't talk about my heart, I just feel it occasionally, and I think of a lot of things." You don't have to worry, it's okay for your husband. ”
Dian Wufang's expression eased slightly, and he said with relief: "Is the husband worried that the battle of the Qinglong Battalion in the two counties of the Western Regions will not go well?" If that's the case, don't worry. The commander of the Qinglong Battalion, General Guo Yan, has been fighting for more than ten years, and he has experienced a hundred battles, and he was the long-famous General Xiliang before his husband became famous. This time, the husband ordered him to lead the troops to Jiuquan and Dunhuang counties, which can be said to be a good person and entrusted him with an important task. Since then, Guo Yan will not dare to slack off, and will go all out to complete the mission assigned to him by his husband. What's more, he is an old general of Xiliang who has recently returned to the command of his husband, and he urgently needs to prove his military exploits to further gain the trust of his husband.
In addition, although the Qinglong Battalion has not had outstanding achievements, it has won because of strict military discipline and is good at fighting tough battles. And the former commander Pang De is also extremely stable, both civil and military, quite has a sense of the overall situation, and has a lot of prestige in the battalion. The other deputy commander, Cheng Gongying, is also a general who is very much regarded by the husband, and his ability in all aspects must be very good. With such three generals leading 30,000 cavalry to the expedition, and General Li Dian, the commander of Zhangye County, guarding the rear and supporting them in the march, this western expedition must be foolproof!
In other words, if Guo Yan can't win the two counties of the Western Regions under such favorable conditions, then his General Xiliang will be in vain and useless. For such an incompetent general, what is the use of staying! ”
Speaking of the military Dian Flawless, showing her true character as a decisive general, it is inconsistent with her previous bird-like tenderness, as if they were two people.
"Haha!" Looking at Dian Wufang's solemn face, Li Li and He Ying glanced at each other very tacitly, and then He Ying pursed his lips and smiled without missing a tooth, but he was happy.
"Why did the husband laugh, isn't the concubine right?" Dian Wufang asked with a blank expression.
Seeing that Dian Wufang's thoughts had fallen into the war of military aircraft, Li Li couldn't help but put away his smile and said: "The battle between Jiuquan and Dunhuang counties is indeed as Madame said, and the chances of victory are very great. Therefore, the husband was not thinking about this matter just now, but was very worried about the chaotic situation in the world. At present, it is a foregone conclusion that we occupy the two states of Xiliang, even if we encounter occasional setbacks, they cannot shake the overall situation of our unification of Xiliang. It's just that the two states of Xiliang are still in a corner of the country for the states and counties of the Central Plains and the rich states and counties in the south of the Yangtze River, and the land is vast and sparsely populated, and it has been a bitter cold place since ancient times. At present, the total population of our two prefectures in Xiliang, including the counties and counties under the division, is less than half of that of Jizhou, and the money and grain are far less than those of Jizhou, Xuzhou, Jingzhou, Yangzhou and Yizhou.
Therefore, although our Xiliang army is mighty, it is actually a golden and jade army, and the existing money, food, and ordnance in the treasury cannot support more than 300,000 troops. In the opinion of the lady, after the Xiliang is pacified, what should the husband do? Madame can try to say, don't have too many scruples. ”
"This 、、、" Dian Wuflaw was slightly stunned when he heard this, and then thought about it and said: "In fact, before the expedition, the concubine and Xin'er discussed this issue in private. With Xin'er's understanding of her husband's personality, they think that her husband will use troops in the states and counties of the Central Plains to support the war with war, otherwise her husband will not be in a hurry to unify Xiliang and stabilize the foundation of the rear.
However, the concubine body is slightly different from their opinion. In the concubine's view, the husband's previous strategy of fighting to support war was also forced to be helpless, and occasionally using it can still solve the urgent need, but it can't be done for a long time. Because the situation in the states and counties of the Central Plains is complicated, the relationship between the princes is also very delicate, intertwined, and affects the whole body. In addition, there are many famous families of the Han Dynasty gathered in various parts of the Central Plains, who have strong financial resources and extensive connections, and faintly control the situation in various states and counties. And these obvious situations are very different from our Xiliang, and the two cannot be compared at all. Xiliang has experienced repeated wars, and many wealthy clans have long moved their families to various parts of the Central Plains and Jingxiang, Sichuan and Shu for refuge, and the people have also lost a lot of money and fled one after another. Therefore, when the husband pacified Xiliang, he was almost not obstructed by the big clans, and swept through the two states of Xiliang, invincible.
After that, although the husband faced many difficulties, the concubine also thought that the husband would wave his troops to enter the Central Plains. After all, our army has more than 300,000 troops, and its strength is far above that of all princes in the world. At this time, if our army does not take advantage of the victory to march, it will inevitably miss the fighter, which is really a pity!
However, the concubine heard that her husband had dispersed all the troops to various border counties in Liangzhou, and seemed to have the intention of sticking to the border. Could it be that the husband really ignored the good situation in front of him, stuck to Xiliang, and gave up attacking the Central Plains? ”
After Li Li heard this, he nodded calmly and said, "Madam is right. More than a month ago, I ordered the officers and men of all battalions to rush to the border counties and stationed in various passes. On the premise of stabilizing the border, they are allowed to take the initiative to find fighters to attack instead of defend, and greatly weaken the strength of the surrounding barbarians and other states and counties, so as to develop and grow. Moreover, I have clearly told them that there will be no large-scale fighting in our army for a year. As for what will happen a year from now, it is still unknown, so we can only take it one step at a time and wait for the times to change. ”
