With the end of the winter festival, both Xiliang and Bingzhou have gradually calmed down, and everyone who has been busy for a year seems to want to take this rare time to recuperate, so as to prepare for a big job in the coming year and strive for new victories.

But not everyone has that free time.

Li Shushi is still discussing with Cheng Yu, Fu Zhu and others in a heated discussion on the candidates for the Taishou in various places, and the redivision of the states according to Li Shushi's ideas has basically come to an end, except for whether Dingxiang County should be re-established, and there are objections to the question of whether Dingxiang County should be merged into the state or Shuozhou after the establishment, but this is not a big problem.

As for the selection of those county magistrates, they were handed over by Li Shushi to the administrative team headed by Cheng Yu, anyway, the things that officials evaluate and assign were originally their jobs, but this sudden increase in workload made them a little unbearable.

All of these things need to be brought to fruition this winter, and appointments made quickly, so that those officials have enough time to get to know what would otherwise be a little unfamiliar to most of them, and to get to work quickly after the spring begins.

And just like that, two months passed.

"Woo! It's finally all solved, I want to eat roast goose, I want to eat water tofu, I want to eat squirrel carp~~~"

"Please count me when the lord eats, but there are still some ...... here."

"Stop! Isn't that your job to do that, and if you can't finish your job and have help, I'll ...... it."

"Naturally, there is no need to bother the lord in political affairs, and he can't afford to stand up. However, in the past two months, there has been a lot of news coming from Kanto. Shouldn't the lord take a look, or ...... Oh yes, eat first, eat first. Rong Li called his family over, and it was time to enjoy the joy of that day and taste the appetite of the appetite during these busy days. ”

"Cheng Zhongde, if I don't let Yuzi-chan break your family's Xiao Wu, I won't be surnamed Li!"

"I don't dare to ask for ears if I want to. I also asked Mrs. Su to teach Wu'er a lot of lessons, so that his dead brain could be more enlightened. ”

Well, in the face of an unscrupulous lord like Li Shushi, Cheng Yu, whose IQ is obviously several times that of him, has already been trained to be impregnable. And you can use it to fight back if necessary. made Li Shushi depressed.

As for the frustration on the side, he didn't squint at all, and he didn't see anything. It's just from the way he kept brushing his beard, and the corners of his mouth were slightly upturned. His mood at this time must have been unusually relieved and happy.

As for a certain Lori who is regarded as a cook by Li Shushi. At this time, the two eyes narrowed into a slit. With a teasing smile on his face, he followed Zhen Xiaoluoli and Qiao Luoli around him to watch Li Shushi's embarrassment inhumanely.

Well, such a situation has also become one of the daily ways to relax here.

Although Li Shushi is alone. But it seems to have benefited thousands of people around him.

"Well, let's talk about what has happened in Kanto recently."

Although Jia Xu has not yet come, Li Shushi believes that Cheng Yu, who should know, knows that Cheng Yu's desk will never be less than once in the intelligence of those military affairs, and as one of the troika under Li Shushi of the Bingzhou Army, Cheng Yu definitely has such qualifications.

Or if the day when the information no longer appears on Cheng Yu's desk, it should be a glass of poisonous wine or a three-foot white silk - although Li Shushi thinks that such a situation should not appear.

"There's good news, there's bad news, and there's some news that the lord himself needs to guess whether it's good news or bad news. Well, which one does the lord want to hear? ”

"Let's start with the bad news. I like to get better now. ”

"Getting better...... It's unheard of, but looking at the text, it sounds a little flavorful, not just a word. ”

"If I say that it is your father-in-law, I made Zhongde myself, will I admire me very much?"

"I want to hear about it."

"Uh, okay. I heard that there is a plant called sugarcane in Jiaozhou in the south, and it is very sweet to eat. However, people have ten fingers, the length is different, although this sugarcane is sweet, there is a distinction between the end and the end, the sweetest and the last almost tasteless. I don't know if Zhongde gets this thing, he eats it from the beginning, and eats it from the end? ”

"Interesting and interesting, if you can reach Jiaozhou one day, you must not miss this thing."

"Hehe, I'm afraid that Zhongde's teeth have all fallen out by that time, even if you see this sugar cane, you will be powerless."

"Then please ask the lord to work harder, and do his best to break through all the princes in this world, so that Li does not have to wait until his teeth fall out."

"Anyway, as long as my teeth don't fall out by then, well, I seem to be much younger than you Zhongde."

"Can you ask the lord to die again!"

"Of course...... No. Well, let's talk about the bad news. ”

"The first bad news is that Yizhou Mu Liu Yan sent troops to the Guanghan vassal country, which seems to be planning to clean up Xingguoqi, Baimaqiang and Shenluoqiang, it seems that those Qiang tribes have been making too much trouble recently, so that Liu Yan finally can't sit still. However, there is also news that this Liu Yan is terminally ill, so he needs to pave the way for his only remaining bone and blood. Ba County has a veteran Yan Yan, who can deter Liu Biao in Jingzhou. Then in this north, there is also a need for a war to deter those restless Qiang tribes and Zhang Lu. ”

"How can this be bad news, although Yizhou will inevitably be deterred by this battle, but doesn't this also save our forces from some of the troubles that we would have to face when they reach here?"

"Then does the lord know who this leader is?"

"There are also many heroes in Yizhou, although many people have been damaged in the civil strife in the past few years, but they are just ...... Hey? It's hard to ......"

"It seems that the lord guessed, that's right, it's that Zhang Zhang Zizhong!"

"It turned out to be the second senior brother...... In this way, I am afraid that neither Li Kang nor Wu Ze may be the opponent of the other party. No, Zhang Zizhong is from the same family as Wen Qiao and Zilong, and there are many similarities in the use of soldiers, and there are mutations in stability, just like the martial arts they are good at, which is difficult to guard. In addition, they are more familiar with the local situation...... That's not good news. ”

"The lord also thinks it's a little tricky?"

"It's really tricky. But it can't be said that we are at a loss, or that we who have already received this news have the opportunity to take the initiative, I believe Zhongde, you think so too. ”

"Yes, yes. As long as there is a text and cooperation, static braking, the latter strikes. Although Zhang Zizhong is strong, if Liu Yan is really terminally ill, then with Zhang Zizhong's reputation among the scholars in Yizhou, he must not be able to lead a heavy army to the north, otherwise even if Zhang Zizhong is loyal to Liu Yan's father and son, he must worry about the old example of the three of them becoming tigers. ”

"Okay. Anyway, there are some things that don't need to be rushed. Let Xu Fengchun take two young people with him, and let them learn more skills by the old general's side. Although both of them are very potential characters, Wudu and Guanghan are quite different from the north after all, and I hope the two of them can adapt quickly. Otherwise, you'll suffer a big loss. ”

"Simply this Hanzhong Zhang Lu temporarily retreated to himself. In Hanzhong, the 'Kingdom of Daojun' was launched. We don't have to worry about that. ”

"Zhang Lu...... Speaking of which, there are rumors that this Zhang Lu Yimai and Zhang Jiao's learning are from the "Taiping Qing Lingjing", but I don't know if it's true or not, otherwise I can talk about the fate of incense with him, maybe this Hanzhong can surrender without a fight. ”

"The lord is not saying that he can't laugh. Zhang Lu's ambitions are known from far and near, but he has to retreat because of his lack of strength, and even if he wants to expand, he will inevitably choose Liu Yan, who has an indissoluble enmity with him, rather than the north. That's why we have peace of mind. But if it is said that Zhang Lu and Hanzhong will surrender without a fight, the joke of the lord is really not funny at all. ”

"Okay, okay~ Tell me about any other bad news?"

"Before talking about the rest of the not so good news, there are two very important news that need to be told to the lord."

"Let's talk about it, it's not a big deal for us anyway."

"Although the lord can't refute this, if you look at it in the long run, I'm afraid the impact will be very big."

"In that case, why don't you let me guess, or gamble, how about it?"

"My lord, please."

"Gongsun Zan of Youzhou finally couldn't bear to kill Liu Yu, and then Yuan Shao was ready to raise troops to take revenge under the banner of Liu Yu?"

"It seems that I can't hide it from my lord more and more."

"After all, we all knew a long time ago that Gongsun Zhan's bull temper would do it, but it was just sooner or later, didn't it."

"Although what the lord said is very true, the lord guessed wrong on this point."

"What?! Could it be that Liu Yu will make a move to Gongsun Chan first? Is he really tired of being crooked? ”

"I didn't understand what Liu Bo'an was thinking in the middle, but this time it was indeed Liu Bo'an and Karasuma people who planned to attack Gongsun Bogui in three ways. And judging from various signs, Li even suspected that Liu Boan should have had contact with Yuan Benchu before, but Yuan Benchu probably had other plans, so he chose not to move. ”

"Hehe, Yuan Benchu really has a good calculation."

Liu Yu is dead.

The death of the last conscientious clan of the Han Empire will not surprise everyone. After all, from the day he completely tore his face with Gongsun Zhan, everyone was waiting for this day to come.

If it is in a peaceful and prosperous era, with Liu Yu's prestige and connections inside and outside the court, it can be said that it is not too simple for him to play Gongsun Zhan, but unfortunately it is a troubled time now, a troubled time when the gun is out of power. Despite all his problems, both his allies and his enemies admit that the man has a strong army under his command.

Even if this elite corps suffered heavy losses in the tug-of-war with Yuan Shao, as long as Gongsun Chan did not die, the soul of the legion would not perish. Not to mention that with the support of Yuan Shu, Gongsun Zhan's originally greatly damaged vitality was restored little by little.

Perhaps it was precisely because of this that Liu Yu chose to do it so impatiently.

Or maybe Yuan Shao is behind the scenes, after all, Liu Yu is just one person, and although Yuan Shao can't directly affect Liu Yu himself, Liu Yu's subordinates and even his son have been infiltrated by Yuan Shao.

Cheng Yu is right, if Yuan Shao promises to fight with Liu Yu, Liu Yu's behavior can be called logical.

It's a pity, it's a pity, Liu Yu will never realize that it's the same reason why Yuan Shao gave up the best time to welcome the Son of Heaven in the history of another plane. He also couldn't tolerate the fact that the Han clan, who thought he was highly respected, was always hanging over his head.

If Yuan Shu's unsubdued heart can be called a red fruit, then Yuan Shao is buried deep in his heart.

But it's a pity that after this series of things, his thoughts are already the same as Sima Zhao's heart.

Or rather, he was Sima Zhao's forerunner, so his behavior was far less cautious and calm than Sima Zhao's.

Liu Yu is dead.

Liu Yu's army against Gongsun Chan gave Gongsun Chan the best excuse, although this may only be Gongsun Chan's own opinion. But it can't be denied that even if there is no shortage of strong soldiers with strong bows and crossbows, and Hu cavalry with fat horses and strong bodies. But in Liu Yu's hands. These will only be the local chickens and dogs in the eyes of Gongsun Chan, and they will not be able to resist the impact of Gongsun Chan even if it is just one round.

Yes, even if the elite legions suffered heavy losses, but with the only remaining cavalry in their hands. Gongsun Chan only needed one round of charges to defeat Liu Yu's seemingly prosperous lineup. Let the outstanding Youzhou herd lose his armor and flee.

Liu Yu is a good official. It's a pity that he is just a scholar after all, and he sees everything on the battlefield as too simple.

Maybe it's not a complicated place on the battlefield, but if you don't know him. Then there will inevitably be an abyssal quagmire.

Liu Yu is not the first person to fall into it and can't extricate himself, and he won't be the last.

Thinking of this, Li Shushi felt how lucky he was at the beginning, there were experienced guys like Lu Bu, Gao Shun and even Ko Yi by his side, and even Su Xiaololi's familiarity with the battlefield seemed to surpass his ignorance at the time.

Liu Yu is dead.

The impact of this person's death is huge, but as Cheng Yu said, whether it is good or bad not only can't be completely figured out for a while, but even in a few years, the impact of this matter may still be fermenting.

However, at least in the short term, the people who benefit are none other than two - Yuan Shao and Karasuma people.

Needless to say, the former is not to mention, although this matter was attacked by Liu Yu first, but who taught you Gongsun Zan to kill someone. Although there are "no eyes on the battlefield, life and death", how can I open my mouth and close it, black can also be said to be white, and white can naturally be reversed into black.

Anyway, it's not the first time Yuan Shao has done this kind of thing, the door is tight, and Li Shushi can operate one or two by himself by all kinds of means, not to mention that in this regard, it is the expert Yuan Shao and his team of military divisions.

Don't look at the fierce infighting under Yuan Shao's command, but the destruction of Gongsun Zan is the key to whether Yuan Shao can gain a firm foothold in Hebei, maybe the signs of infighting have not been extinguished, but at this critical time, those people can also work together. In other words, it is impossible for Yuan Shao to allow his subordinates to continue to attack each other at such a time, which spoils this great opportunity.

It is conceivable that even now Gongsun Zhan is in control of several counties, and even after destroying Liu Yu, theoretically the entire Youzhou should be controlled by him except for the Liaodong area.

It's a pity that the person who died was Liu Yu - if the dead person was Liu Yan's father and son, who were preparing to become the emperor of the soil in Yizhou, then probably most of the scholars in Yizhou would applaud. If the deceased person is Liu Xuan, who will take root in the Jiangdong area of Yangzhou in the future, perhaps most of the Jiangdong scholars will not care about it. If the person who died was Liu Biao of Jingzhou, perhaps the Jingzhou scholars would split into two factions.

But the one who died was Liu Yu, a politician who made it difficult for you to feel bad about his actions.

Maybe some of his policies seem a little uncomfortable, maybe he seems a little weak in his attitude towards foreigners, maybe he seems a little pedantic in some things, maybe, there are a lot of maybes. But the only thing you can't deny is that this is a good person, this is also a good official, and this is a good clan that will become the lord of the Han Dynasty if he can become the emperor.

Under his rule, Youzhou has had a rare few days of good life after the Yellow Turban, even though Gongsun Zhan went south to compete for the throne and lost a lot of Youzhou men, but compared with previous years, the life of the people of Youzhou is much more stable, these are Liu Yu's credits.

Officials will appreciate Liu Yu's literary brilliance and generosity and integrity, and the people will appreciate Liu Yu's comfortable and happy life, and if anyone wants to take these things away, they will face more than just a class rebellion.

Especially when there is a guy who is good at fanning the flames next to him.

Gongsun Chan couldn't see this, he was probably immersed in the pleasure of his old enemy conferring the head.

Yuan Shu can probably see the development of this qiē, but he is really a little far away from the Youji area, although he can make all kinds of plans, but after all, there is a natural lag in timeliness, even if he has the heart, he can't reach it.

Dai County, Shanggu County, Zhuo County, Guangyang County, and Yuyang County, which had a deep relationship with Liu Yu, had already expressed their refusal to accept Gongsun Zhan's forces, and the powerful families in the county expressed their strong resistance to Gongsun Zhan, and they refused to accept Gongsun Zhan's forces on behalf of the military and civilians of the county, including the appointment issued by Gongsun Zhan.

Well, in these years, many people have lost their consciousness without being "represented", or at the moment when land annexation is becoming more and more violent, those local families are completely qualified to represent the locality, because most of the local land belongs to them, and most of the population is dependent on them, and the remaining freedmen have become a minority.

Liaodong County, Xuanwu County, Lelang County and Liaodong vassal states in the east of Youzhou were originally Gongsun Du's sphere of influence, and they often disobeyed Liu Yu's orders before, and like Liu Biao, they sacrificed heaven and earth in the suburbs of Xiangping, looking like they wanted to stand on their own. Now that Liu Yu is dead, he has no scruples, and he plans to order the counties of Youzhou to greatly expand his sphere of influence.

Even Liaoxi County, Youbeiping County, and most of the Bohai River, which originally belonged to Gongsun Zhan, were also in an unstable situation, and the crowd was turbulent, and it seemed that they wanted to defect from Gongsun Zhan.

"Gongsun Zhan, probably won't be able to jump for long......"

Holding the teacup in his hand, Li Shushi closed his eyes, and seemed to remember the heroic figure he saw in Zhuoxian again. (To be continued......)
