4. You, me, and his fate (II)
Although Li Shushi was holding Zhen Xiaololi on the other side, he had already opened his mind and didn't know where to fly, but Zhen Xiaololi, who was already familiar with Li Shushi's personal habits, would not really be angry about this kind of thing, so he squinted his eyes and stayed quietly in Li Shushi's arms until Li Shushi's thoughts drifted back from nowhere.
After that, he clapped his hands and explained to him some things that need to be paid attention to when visiting relatives, and then drifted away.
Even though there is still some reluctance in my heart, but now is the time for Li Shushi to deal with business, don't bother if there is nothing - this is not only from Zhen Xiaololi's tutor, but also from Ma Qing, one of the eldest sisters in Su Xiaololi's Lily Palace.
"It seems that you seem to be more inclined to Yuan Benchu than Yuan Highway."
The young man on the other side is a good person, just seeing and hearing the discussion between Li Shushi and Zhen Xiaololi, he confidently came to a conclusion, and his eyes that seemed to be smiling seemed to remind Li Shushi - "Lying is absolutely impossible to hide from me~"
I always feel that being looked at by this kind of look is like a big wave of "~" galloping by, it should be an illusion.
"If it's me, personally, I still prefer Yuan Benchu more than that guy Yuan Highway. It's just that because I feel that Yuan Benchu's ability is stronger than Yuan Highway, and I am a little worried that if I give him a chance to become bigger, it will become a big problem."
So, under the pressure of that look, Li Shushi had no choice but to "open his heart", but ......
"Lord, you didn't tell the truth~" was despised by the other party like this.
Is that the truth the truth? Indeed it is.
So is what the young man who seems to be able to see through people's hearts say wrong? Actually, it's true.
Contradictory?
It seems to be contradictory, but for Li Shushi, he doesn't feel very contradictory at all, because it just reflects the change in his mentality in recent times.
Li Shushi has always thought that he is just a scumbag of war among the traversers, although he seems to have received a few practical golden fingers in his hands, and he has also mixed with the help of several old grandfathers, but in the face of the princes of the world, especially those who seem to be smooth, it seems that the second Yuan is only because of the second Yuan who was born in the fourth world and the third duke. Li Shushi, who has been trembling since starting his business, always feels that the advantages of the state are very limited.
In terms of political influence, it can be said that the state side ended in a complete defeat, and even if it had not been blessed and protected by the imperial power, it is really unknown whether Li Shushi could expand until now and continue to maintain the momentum of expansion. What Wang Yun did when he was in power before was enough to give Li Shushi a wake-up call. Even if it was soon cracked by Li Shushi. Even in the face of Wang Yun's aggressive pressure, and there are not many "discordant voices" in the state, this does not mean that similar things will happen again in the future, and Li Shushi will be able to avoid them safely.
After all, the strength in Wang Yun's hands is well known. And there is also Lu Zhi as a foil in the court.
If the emperor falls into the hands of Cao Cao or Yuan Shao, who has made up his mind after weighing it, the historical process of another plane can become the best textbook for Li Shushi.
As for the other possibility, because you have already said too much, don't waste your tongue anymore.
In terms of economic strength, because in the past few years, except for the invasion of Yanmen by Kuitou and the invasion of Taiyuan by Lu Shuixiu, it can basically be said that the wind is evenly balanced. In addition, some of Li Shushi's mercantile measures and trade with the Hu people in the grassland have accumulated a lot of wealth for the state, and with the salt and iron in Hedong and the convenient transportation in Hanoi, even if the wealth that Shuozhou can provide is enough to make Li Shushi rank in the upper reaches of the princes in the world.
It's just that the only thing that makes people a little worried is that the area of land that can be used for cultivation in the two places is not comparable to that of the Central Plains, so in the long run, the potential is slightly inferior to that of other major princes. But if Roho can really get the high-yielding crops he needs from across the ocean, as he intended, the potential for development may no longer be bottlenecked.
At the same time, there are also trade profits from the Western Regions. Although it is not possible to see more benefits at the moment, with the situation of Wusun Kingdom stabilized and several chariot divisions were pacified, the Silk Road's ability to absorb gold will eventually bring huge benefits to Li Shushi in the long run.
That is, as an unqualified traverser junior. At least at this point, I didn't lose the face of my predecessors.
Finally, there is the military aspect...... Ahem, needless to say, speaking of which, this may also be the most attractive place for other princes in Bingzhou, but probably not many princes will have the confidence of holding the handle of the knife in their hands like Eryuan.
This does not include the advantages in education, as long as Li Shushi can be tossed for another five to ten years, the seeds he sowed at the beginning will be able to blossom and bear fruit, and then he will harvest a group of grassroots and even middle-level officials who at least have a considerable affection for the state.
At that time, these people, together with the military nobles who have gradually grown up around Li Shushi, will become the most powerful weapon against the gate lord family, even if they can't seize power, at least they can maintain a balance in some way.
Hey? In this way, it seems that the advantages of the state are not as small as he thought before.
It is precisely because of such analysis and thinking with the help of the people around him that Li Shushi, who has repeatedly hit a wall in dealing with the family and has a little inferiority complex in his heart, began to have more confidence and confidence to face Yuan Shao, who may grow strong in the future, and has the confidence and confidence to wrestle with such a Yuan Shao.
In fact, it is precisely because of this change in mentality that Li Shushi feels calm in the choice of Eryuan.
Originally, Li Shushi would have been worried that Yuan Shao would grow into a behemoth that he felt difficult to deal with, just like the history in another plane he was familiar with. In that way, even if Cao Cao finally won the victory in Guandu, it would be an almost impossible victory to replicate, just like the battle in which Dou Jiande was captured in the Tiger Prison Pass, almost one wrong step would be doomed.
After all, if you cut down a small sapling, you only need a sharp axe to swing it a few times to achieve your goal, but if you replace it with a towering tree, the energy will be incalculable, and the Romance of the Three Kingdoms even told us that cutting down those ancient trees casually may also backfire on itself, just like poor Cao Mengde.
Well, it seems that the black-skinned dwarf can't be bypassed.
In particular, Li Shushi reluctantly reached the distribution of interests with the powerful family under his rule. The result is a political equilibrium, but in his opinion this balance is too fragile, so that he always fears that external temptations will change this balance.
At least judging from the level of Eryuan's current appearance, these two people definitely live up to their family inheritance in this regard. Especially the most sister-in-law Yuan Shu. In this respect the table xiàn is even better. Li Shushi didn't want to be hollowed out after the alliance, and finally become a thug-like storage - not only did he have to endure hardships. And you must be ready to carry the black pot at any time, and there is even a great possibility that you will be ruthlessly abandoned when the use value is exhausted because of your background.
But now.
Even though the state is indeed congenitally deficient in a certain salary, it also has some means and a group of brothers and subordinates to rely on. Li Shushi did not believe that he was not capable of fighting with another group of era elites with the help of these elites of the era.
If you still lose in this way, then it can only prove that you really shouldn't continue to stay on this stage, maybe it is a good choice to take Su Xiaololi to a wild island where no one disturbs you, but it is not a good choice to live for the rest of your life - at least the house in the previous life can never imagine that one day you will be able to stay with a beautiful bubbling sister paper for life.
Now that the worst-case scenario has been anticipated, all that remains is to actively work hard.
With the mindset of being equal to the other person, the way you look at things will be different.
So which side should Li Shushi choose to hand out the olive branch?
Although Li Shushi himself knows very well that Yuan Shu has been an old lady since Sun Jian's death - every year is not as good as a year, but I have to admit that the current Yuan Shu's influence in the Central Plains is still huge.
Even if he failed to seize the position of alliance leader when he was fighting Dong. Even if Sun Jian died in battle and Nanyang changed hands, don't forget that Yuan Shao's side also suffered a lot of losses - Bao Xin, the prime minister of Jibei, died in battle, Shanyang Taishou Yuan Yu was expelled by the Yellow Turban Army, and Chen Liutai guarded Zhang Miao, although he still stayed in Chenliu, he could only trap Chen Liucheng. Even Cao Cao, who was still relatively well-lived, had to face the pressure of hundreds of thousands of Yellow Turban Army.
The rest of Qingzhou, Youzhou, and Xuzhou are also in a dominant position on the Yuan Shu side as a whole.
It can be said that if he can successfully persuade the state to participate in the alliance against Yuan Shao, then a large net surrounding Yuan Shao will be completely shrouded in Yuan Shao's head, and then Yuan Shao will be trapped in a catastrophe with multiple efforts.
Of course, in the end, this is only Yuan Shu's personal YY for the time being, whether it can come true is not only the statement of the state, but also the concerted efforts of several other princes, especially the Yuan Shu side who has the wind of the alliance leader must be enough to give enough.
However, in the view of Li Shushi, who has a "historical vision", this may be the biggest shortcoming of Yuan Shu's side.
Defeated by Liu Biao, went north to Yanzhou and was defeated by Cao Cao and Yuan Shao's alliance, and then easily settled down in Shouchun, but the result was wrongly judged that the shape shì chose to be the emperor, and as a result, he was despised by the princes of the whole world and was divided by the surrounding princes.
Even if the jade seal is now in Li Shushi's hands, Yuan Shu probably won't be so brainbroken that he feels that he has the destiny to become the emperor, but teaming up with this kind of pig teammate who "suffers from your losses and I will take the benefits", Li Shushi absolutely believes that he will be pitted to death.
As for the group of waste dim sum under Yuan Shu, even if it is not compared with the Wenchen generals under his command, it will definitely not be more reliable than the three suspected "three friends of the grass" around him.
On the contrary, Yuan Shao, at least now has sent more friendly signals to him - this is not to say that Yuan Shao has a better impression of Li Shushi, but to show that Yuan Shao needs to maintain a relatively peaceful state with Li Shushi more than Yuan Shu.
This is simply a bamboo pole sent to the door for Li Shushi.
In addition, compared to Yuan Shu's series of amazing pig teammate performances, even if he was counted down by the young man opposite him in the romance in the time and space of another plane, and even those judgments can become case teaching materials for military psychology, but this cannot hide Yuan Shao's excellent personal ability and once outstanding appearance.
Many people have seen Cao Cao's tossing and turning in the hinterland of the Central Plains, and know that it is not easy for him to conquer a huge territory, and this is indeed a legend and a miracle that few people can replicate throughout ancient Chinese history. In comparison, Yuan Shao's appearance in the north seems to be less brilliant - it is probably just a pit of a Han Fu and a pit of Gongsun Chan, and then the rhythm of that Gongsun Chan is flattened, but there are a few ups and downs in the middle to increase the readability of the story, especially if it is not for the traitors in the Yellow Turban Army, I am afraid that the whole family will have to pick up soap in the Yellow Turban Army camp. Then he relied on Gongsun Chan to kill Liu Yu by himself, which completely reversed the situation. To sum it up. One took a big advantage by killing the state thorn history, and the other took out the state herd and suffered a big loss.
But at least during this period of time, Yuan Shao and his Wenchen generals can be called working together, far from showing the temperament of the pit king who pulled each other's hind legs like he later did.
And then......
And then poop. It's the Guandu Armageddon. Yuan Shao and Cao Cao gambled on their respective wise Armageddons.
Oh. That's right. During this period, Yuan Shao, like a knight, refused to take advantage of his good friends to explode his chrysanthemum when Liu Bei was on an expedition, although the noble Yuan Shao children's shoes found a very unpopular excuse for "children are sick". But with our eyes like a torch, we can still feel his strong chivalric demeanor, which is completely different from the black-skinned shorty.
Of course, the above statement is completely Li Shushi's personal no responsibility conjecture, for reference only, if there is any similarity...... It's never my fault!
How do you feel that talking and talking have become Yuan Shao's children's shoes, your black history, there is wood!
It should be noted though. Cao Cao, who was recorded in the history books as having ten reasons for such a wise and martial victory, faced Yuan Shao, who was so unbearable and even had ten reasons for failure, still won very dangerously, and even his subordinates had been eroded by Yuan Shao's side, that is to say, as long as there was a suitable tipping point, Cao Cao would not face the defeat of one or two battles, but an avalanche-like situation, and probably no possibility of turning over at all.
From this, we can also know the opinion of public opinion at that time on the victory or defeat of this battle.
In addition, if it weren't for Cao Cao's pit killing and surrendering countless soldiers after the Battle of Guandu. Let Yuan Shao and Hebei hurt their vitality, but I am afraid that waiting for a few defeats will not be able to shake the advantage that Yuan Shao has accumulated over Cao Cao's side, just like the Battle of White Horse and the Battle of Yanjin have broken Yan Liang and Wen Chou and a large number of troops but can still fight Guandu.
In a few years, there will be another group of heroes.
And even if Cao Cao won the Guandu, he even forced Yuan Shao to death. However, the legacy left by Yuan Shao still made Cao Cao feel extremely scratching his head, and even if it weren't for Yuan Shao's sons who were cheated by their father, they in turn cheated their father who had already gone to heaven, it is estimated that Cao Cao would have to spend more effort to become the ruler of Hebei.
Even in this way, Cao Cao still had to face a group of Hebei families who were unwilling to cooperate, and the pressure he faced was not much smaller than that of Li Shushi when he first arrived in Hedong and Bingzhou, and even Cao Cao, who was very skilled and dominant in politics at that time, was very anxious for a while and had to stay in Yecheng to solve these thorny problems.
It sounds like Zhu Di, the Yongle Emperor who was rooted in Beijing.
It can be seen that Yuan Shao's ability and charm are not as unbearable as the victor said.
And the reason why the expression is so unbearable Judging from Li Shushi's experience of struggling for so long in this era, I am afraid that there is something wrong with it - the contest of discourse power between the local Haoqiang in Hebei and the Nanyang family in Yuzhou.
To make a long story short, after suddenly gaining the land of Sizhou, the vast majority of Yuan Shao's subordinates obviously already thought that the unification of the world was already the trend of the times, and Hebei had firmly grasped the initiative. Since external pressure is no longer the main contradiction, then the internal contradiction will naturally rise to the main contradiction - anyway, it seems that the destruction of Cao Cao, the biggest enemy, is only a matter of minutes, and it doesn't take too much brains, so let's think about how to strike first to get the future dominance of the Yuan family.
This is not the first time that something similar has happened and it will not be the last, such as the Wei State without Zhuge Liang in another plane, from Xiahou Ba to Wang Ling to Biqiu Jian, Zhuge Dan...... Of course, there is an element of loyalty, but it is impossible to deny the entanglement of interests, in short, the water is too deep and the water is too mixed.
It's just that at that time, whether it was Xishu or Eastern Wu, they were far from having the ability to threaten the safety of the huge country in the north, instead of being like a black-skinned dwarf, who knew the root of his good friend Yuan Shanshan, and poked at Yuan Shanshan's weaknesses.
After some feelings up and down, Yuan Shao, who was already old and decrepit, naturally couldn't support such a toss.
This gives us a proposition - what if those factions under Yuan Shao don't have intense internal friction?
Originally, he was unwilling to team up with a pig teammate like Yuan Shu, and then he had to fight against Yuan Shao and Cao Cao, who are still good friends for a lifetime.
Even if the pig advances suddenly, the likely result will only be that he will become a freshly baked suckling pig, or at least he will definitely lose his arms and legs in the battle, and then be pounced on by the wolves who can't hold it down, ushering in another battle.
As for whether he will drag his scarred body and become the last player to stay on the stage in the end?
Do you think that the powerful family who is now clinging to him like a vine will not give him a chance to regain his breath after sucking the blood in his body?
This road looks majestic, but it is destined to have no fork in the road to success.
At least, it will neither bring happiness to those around him nor protect the happiness they have already obtained.
Besides, even if Yuan Shao has the blessing of the aura of the fourth world and the third duke, he can greatly improve the basic goodwill of those wealthy families, but Li Shushi is not without a little preparation, at least he can offset the influence of Yuan Shao's aura to some extent......
"Smoke, pack all these things away, I'm going to pick up Yuzi-chan, you should also go and rest well."
Li Shushi looked back at the girl who had been standing behind him, the girl who had been smiling when she looked at him.
