Chapter 82 Heavy Snow
Liu Xie began to feel short of people again, because he obviously felt that he was much busier than before, and many things that he didn't need to worry about in the past had to be arrested at this time, and even the daily martial arts practice time was occupied a lot.
However, this busyness also made Liu Xie feel fulfilled. Since Guan Yu and Huang Zhong entered the Qing River and the plains, Liu Xie could clearly feel that his control over the river/the three counties was increasing little by little. At the beginning of spring next year, no matter how Yuan Shao and the Yuan Tan's troops in Qingzhou should be wiped out as soon as possible. After all, Qingzhou has always been an enclave and a nail buried behind the princes. Until now, its role has basically been fully played.
Taishi Ci, in accordance with Liu Xie's order, opened a rural school in the Jiaodong area, and the effect was unexpectedly good. After all, it was difficult to find a family if he was willing to follow him to Jiaodong to open up land at that time, which also made the situation of rural schooling in the Jiaodong area not subject to much resistance. In addition, Kong Rong's reputation attracted many unsuccessful poor scholars, and therefore, the management of rural school in Jiaodong is better than that in Guanzhong.
Qingzhou's support can bring a large number of talents to himself, at least to alleviate the talent pressure here. Kong Rong is a relatively ideal person. As long as he uses this kind of person correctly, the energy he exerts is amazing. On top of national politics, Kong Rong is undoubtedly a kind of talker, but if used in education, Liu Xie thinks that Kong Rong is no worse than Zheng Xuan, a well-known educator.
According to Li Ru's private letter, Kong Rong was very enthusiastic about Liu Xie's establishment of the Three Studies. Now he basically focuses on the Three Studies regardless of political affairs.
This result made Liu Xie feel a little relieved. Although he had never met Kong Rong, Kong Rong had a great help to Liu Xie. What he was most worried about was that Liu Xie weakened the aristocratic family and made Kong Rong feel dissatisfied with the court. Now it seems that it is not as bad as he imagined.
The cold snowflakes fell from the air and fell on Liu Xie's face. The biting cold made Liu Xie's spirit shock and his thoughts were also taken back from Qingzhou.
"Your Majesty, Yecheng urgently reported it!" A secret guard quickly came to Liu Xie and handed a letter to Liu Xie.
Liu Xie opened the letter, plucked the content of the letter roughly, raised his eyebrows, and then stretched out.
"Your Majesty, what happened?" Guo Jia came to Liu Xie with a wine gourd and looked at the letter in Liu Xie's hand curiously. This guy completely quit Hanshi Powder, but he was even more addicted to alcohol. He deserved to be a man with the talent of the God of Baccarat.
After handing the letter to Guo Jia, Liu Xie smiled and said, "Look at it yourself."
Liu Xie did not stop Guo Jia from being addicted to alcohol, as long as he could quit the Cold Food Powder.
"It is worthy of being a great family. In such a short time, 100,000 troops gathered again. However, this time, Yuan Ben became much smarter." Looking at the content of the letter, Guo Jia said in amazement: "This time, did he actually choose to follow Ju Su and Tian Feng's plan?"
When Liu Xie heard this, he shook his head and did not ask Guo Jia how he knew it was the plan of these two. It seemed that under Yuan Shao, there were only these two people who could be respected by Guo Jia. After thinking about it, Liu Xie smiled and said, "People can change, especially in adversity."
The setback of this defeat was a bit big for Yuan Shao, but it also brought Yuan Shao's gradually expanding confidence back to its original position. Now Yuan Shao's arrogance has been restrained a lot, and he can also listen to others' words. Although it surprised Liu Xie, it is reasonable. Compared with Yuan Shu, the biggest advantage of Yuan Shao is that one can face reality when he loses power and acts with his tail, while the other is that he is inexplicably proud.
Guo Jia looked at the letter and smiled: "Yes, he did not blindly use troops, but strengthened the defense of key roads in various levels, which well avoided Yuan Shao's weaknesses of the current generals. This is a way to consolidate the foundation, but I don't know if Tian Feng and Ju Su have a way to develop Peiyuan?"
"What is Peiyuan?" Liu Xie asked with a smile.
"In order to defend the city outside, to lighten labor service at home, to cultivate people's livelihood, Yuan Shao will be able to recover a lot of vitality within three years." Guo Jia said casually.
"If this is true, it will be difficult to go to Jizhou~" Liu Xie smiled, but there was no look of worry on his face.
"Your Majesty doesn't seem to care?" Guo Jia looked at Liu Xie in confusion. He originally thought that Liu Xie had a headache, but Liu Xie's current state was obviously not a headache.
"I am not a god, I can change Yuan Shao's idea." Liu Xie glanced at Guo Jia with a funny look: "I only believe that the enemy is strong, and I only need to be stronger. Our army's strategy has been decided. Next, as long as it is constantly improved, as for Yuan Shaoruhe, I don't believe that he can use half of the state to fight against half of the power of our court. Don't be confused by him. If you are filial, you are very immature~"
Guo Jia's mouth twitched a few times. This was originally something he was going to encourage Liu Xie, but in the end, it was encouraged by Liu Xie. Sure enough, although he was young, the emperor in front of him could no longer be measured by his age.
With a smile, Guo Jia raised his head and took a sip of wine and said, "Your Majesty is right. Even if Yuan Shao is willing to rest now, he missed the best opportunity. Even so, Yuan Shao's fundamental problem has never been solved. Although he listened to Tian Feng and Ju Su's plan this time, Guo Tu and others did not lose power because of this. He could not choose the right choice every time."
Yuan Shao’s most fundamental problem is that there are many factions. Now that the court has been dealt with, he can see the reality clearly, but no one can tell what will happen in the future.
"The biggest problem of Yuan Shao lies in himself." Liu Xie looked at the snowflakes gradually filling the sky. The air seemed to be a little fresher. He shook his head and smiled: "Indecisiveness is his biggest weakness. As long as he is sure, no matter how strong he is, I can play with him in the applause!"
Guo Jia nodded silently when he heard this. If you talk about strategy and politics, Liu Xie often has some wild ideas, but if you talk about real level, you can barely be considered first-class. But if you think about the human heart and human nature, you may not be able to compete with this young emperor in the world.
This is enough!
"Think about the time, my son is about to be born." Looking at the world that is gradually becoming more and more prosperous, Liu Xie's eyes were a little confused: "It's a pity that my wish to go back to Chang'an to reunite my family cannot be achieved."
"Your Majesty is more open-minded, I believe the prince will understand Your Majesty." Guo Jia looked at Liu Xie's gaze and shook his head. As a single dog who has seen countless women, it is difficult for him to understand Liu Xie's mood at this moment. He just looked at Liu Xie's current appearance and felt a little envious for no reason. Perhaps it is time for him to get a family and have a child out.
"How can a child know so much?" Liu Xie shook his head: "I named the emperor Liu Zheng, what do you think of Fengxiao?"
"Good name." Guo Jia nodded and said without sincerity.
The busy days began to become dull after the first heavy snow in the three years of Hanxing. No matter what, this era is limited by traffic issues and backward intelligence transmission. The legend of Fei Ge will also be affected in this weather, and it will not really be exhausted. Those emperors who were exhausted in the legend have always been extremely suspicious of what the reason for exhausting them to death. This is definitely a historical issue worth discussing.
The heavy snow covers a large area, and half of Jizhou is included. Yuan Shao also took advantage of this time to vigorously strengthen the defense of various checkpoints. In the Youzhou side, this heavy snow was equivalent to helping Yuan Shao a lot. At least after the snowfall, Liu Xie's military operations were greatly weakened. Whether it was Guan Yu in Qinghe or Huang Zhong in the plain, after the heavy snow, they stopped attacking and began to digest the results of the war.
Although I am unwilling to lose such a large territory, there is no way. No matter how unwilling I feel, the loser will naturally bear the bitter consequences of the defeat.
As for Liu Xie, after heavy snow, it was completely liberated. The general framework has been basically established in the past few months. Facts have proved that Liu Xie's arrangement did not show any signs of disagreement in Jizhou. The result of the separation of powers of the Tiger Ben, Tingwei, County Magistrate, and the separation of powers has quickly put these newly included counties on the map on the right track. Liu Xie occasionally joins Guo Jia, like a pair of friends, letting go of any political affairs to hunt for curiosity. Well, simply put, it is just a try.
Some new things that have not been tried before, such as sitting on the gatehouse of the government office with righteous words, playing chess, while discussing which women in the past are more beautiful and fuller. The customs of the Han Dynasty were not open, but the status of women was not low. At least they had the right to go out to buy some things and go shopping. The more stable the place, the more guaranteed the status of women will be. In this way, the two of them are actually an alternative understanding of the people's sentiment.
Of course, Liu Xie could not run to the brothel Chu Pavilion with Guo Jia to hang out with the woman in the Fengchen. After all, he could not do so as rude to Guo Jia. When Guo Jia was away, he would call Yuxiu and Wan'er two close-fitting girls to play chess with him, listen to Wan'er sing, and do some things that are beneficial to his body and mind.
As two women who have existed as Liu Xie’s personal maid since Liu Xie came to this era, there is not much privacy between them and Liu Xie. Perhaps they know him better than Lu Lingju and Erqiao.
Although it is not as grand as Qiankun Palace, it is not as spacious as Liu Xie, and there is some human touch. When the war here comes, after returning to Luoyang, it is probably difficult to get back this psychological warmth. In short, it is only sixteen after the New Year. This feeling of remembrance is too early for me.
"Your Majesty, it's time for you to play chess." Yuxiu moved the car with some excitement and smiled at Liu Xie.
