Although the main responsibility he assumes in government affairs is to "support" and basically devotes his main energy to military affairs, Xu Shiye actually cannot completely "ignor his attention" in government affairs. Now, the biggest problem is that "people must eat when they are alive". The existing warehouses in Wei County alone cannot meet the needs of supplying military supplies and civilians. Therefore, it is naturally Xu Shiye's turn to ask his brother Xu Shiji, who is holding a large granary in his hand, for help!

Therefore, while urging his brother Xu Shiji to send someone to escort the winter war materials as soon as possible, Xu Shiji also begs Xu Shiji to provide corresponding support to Wei County. However, Cui Shigao's words, who had not been with Xu Shiye for too long, still made Xu Shiye, who was extremely busy and upset, feel a lot of relief from the bottom of his heart, and also strengthened his confidence in competing for the world.[]

While busy, the prefect Cui Shigao said casually: I really hope that the general will go north faster! As long as we push the two counties northward, Shigao can appropriately seek help from the head of the family!

Whether it is a test or a 'olive branch', there is something in Cui Shigao's words. Moreover, it is something Xu Shiye extremely hopes to hear...

Wei County is northeastern, and the one adjacent to Wei County is Wuyang County; the straight-line distance between the county towns of the two counties is less than 200 miles apart. The county town of Wuyang County is only five or sixty miles apart from the county town of Wei County, which belongs to Wei County, northwest of Wei County.

The reason why Xu Shiye, who was stranded in Wei County, was unable to consider the matter of going north, was that when he thought of Wuyang County, which was horizontally northwest, was because he suddenly remembered: without the need to use one soldier and one soldier, he might have owned Wuyang County. Having Wuyang County is basically equivalent to stepping into the Qilu land (Jiaodong Peninsula). With Wuyang County as the foothold, you can directly advance to the Qilu land.

But for Wuyang County, Xu Shiye felt like he was "don't eat, but it was a pity to throw it away". The feeling that Xu Shiye felt was not about the land of Wuyang County, but about the people of Wuyang County!

In Wuyang County, due to the departure of the former prefect, Sui Ting was unable to manage it for a while and had not had time to re-appoint the prefect. Therefore, the current Wuyang County was temporarily appointed by the county magistrate Yuan Baozang. After half a year of the original history, in the spring of the thirteenth year of Daye, Yuan Baozang led his people to join Li Mi in Wagang, and took the support of Wuyang County as the rank of advancement.

It was because Yuanbaozang's original history threatened Wuyang County to join Wagang that Xu Shiye considered: Can Wuyang County be included in his control in the near future? As for Yuanbaozang, it is okay to stay in office, and it is recommended to Wagang General Village. Xu Shiye did not want to take Yuanbaozang, who was more willing to "climb the branches" into his subordinates. Therefore, Xu Shiye did not have any "miscuous" thoughts about Yuanbaozang.

However, there was a person in Wuyang County who made Xu Shiye feel a little "crazy". This person, except for Li Shimin, may have been the second most famous person in this period, and is almost well-known and well-known to everyone.

This person is Wei Zheng and Wei Xuancheng, who ranked first in history as the "first person to persuade the ministers". As a strong counselor, Wei Zheng is also the only counselor in history who can have a good ending and have a high reputation and status in life and after death.

On the Lingyan Pavilion in the original history of "Li Tang", Wei Zheng also ranked fourth with the title of Duke of Zheng, between Du Ruhui and Fang Xuanling, the two founding prime ministers of "Li Tang". The first two of the Lingyan Pavilion were royal relatives, Li Shimin's uncle Zhao Duke Changsun Wuji and Li Shimin's cousin, Li Shimin's cousin, Li Xiaogong, King of Hejian. From this, it can also be seen that Wei Zheng's status was high after the founding of the "Li Tang".

At present, Wei Zheng is following Yuan Baozang, the chief of Wuyang County as Mu Bin. Calculate his age. Wei Zheng, who was born in the third year of the Northern Zhou Dynasty, should be thirty-seven years old now. He is almost forty years old but is still living under someone else's roof. He has definitely had an extremely unsatisfactory career in the past.

...If you use copper as a mirror, you can correct your clothes and hats; if you use ancient as a mirror, you can know the rise and fall; if you use people as a mirror, you can understand gains and losses. The "people" in the famous saying of Li Shimin in the original history refers to Wei Zheng, who is still a idle guest in Yuanbaozang Mansion.

In fact, it was not that Xu Shiye had any objections to Wei Zheng in terms of his personality and ability. Instead, he also had a high respect for Wei Zheng's integrity and selflessness in his original history; especially in terms of ability, he felt very impressed.

As the saying goes, there are many mistakes. As a minister of counsel, Wei Zheng can ensure that he enjoys incomparable glory after his death. In addition to the reason why Li Shimin, who was the emperor of the original history, actually, in a deeper analysis, Wei Zheng definitely has high attainments in the peeping of human nature and then in the grasp of "degree".

To give an inappropriate example:

As a minister of counselors, it is like standing on the edge of a dangerous cliff. At any time, there will be a possibility that the emperor and his colleagues will be blown down by the storm of the emperor or the slander of his colleagues. In the past, and even later generations, some ministers of counselors often stood upright in the wind, and would inevitably be blown by the storm of the storm early or late, and would inevitably be blown down by the storm early or late. Wei Zheng was not the case. He sat or lay on the edge of the storm, and while ensuring his greatest stability, he would fight against the invasion of the storm in the wind. This is the wonderful thing about Wei Zheng’s human skills!

Therefore, the "sick" mentality that Xu Shiye had towards Wei Zheng was actually a feeling of "both pain and love".

What Xu Shiye is worried about is:

Because he can basically grasp the general trajectory of history, in the process of "taking the trend" that takes advantage of the situation, he will inevitably need to constantly use conspiracies and use all kinds of tricks to achieve his own greater vested interests. And in this process of planning that seems to be a prescient and unpredictable, it is basically impossible to explain the necessary factors in it. If there is always someone in his ears constantly questioning and asking, how can he not make him, who is still a young man feel extremely "uncomfortable"?

After thinking about it, Wei Zheng, who was really afraid of making things, came to Xu Shiye beside him, and finally had to hold a mentality of "letting go to fate and letting things go" and put great cause first, entrusting Cui Shigao, the prefect who had a relationship with Yuan Baozang, to first provide tentative contact with Yuan Baozang, so that Cui Shigao could promise to recommend Yuan Baozang to the Wagang General Village to "wait for a high position", hoping to include Wuyang County as soon as possible without mobilizing troops.

According to Xu Shiye's estimate, after a period of contact and communication between each other, as time goes by, after Li Mi successfully attacked Xingluo Cang, Wuyang County's success will naturally come naturally. As for whether Wei Zheng followed Yuan Baozang to the general village, stayed in Wuyang County, and even came to him unexpectedly, Xu Shiye had to test Wei Zheng's "vision"!

In fact, if you are a careful person, it is not difficult to see now that what Xu Shiye did in the past six months is actually "full of fruits", and the future prospects are also "infinite brightness". In just half a year, Xu Shiye has used various cunning and incisive means in secret, and has occupied the three counties without realizing it, and the control area is still expanding unlimitedly.

From another perspective: this is also the result of the extremely poor communication conditions in ancient times. Xu Shiye adhered to the result of "only quick and not breaking" in his actions. Otherwise, if the attack on a city was in full swing for several months, how could he not cause the shock of Sui Ting and the attention of the heroes in the world?
