When Jiangdong began to desperately investigate the causes and consequences of Zhou Yu's assassination, Zhuge Liang in Chang'an also fell into some doubts.
"What's the matter, Kong Ming?" Li You looked at Zhuge Liang who suddenly stopped working and looked thoughtful. After finishing processing the official document in his hand, Li You asked with a bit of curiosity.
"The spiritual talent of Governor Zhou disappeared during my observation." Zhuge Liang frowned and said with obvious doubts on his face.
Theoretically speaking, the spiritual talent disappears within Zhuge Liang's observation range, and the only possibility is death. But considering that it is Zhou Yu, the other party is very likely to be experimenting with something. With the other party's ability, it is not impossible to transcend the observation range of the spiritual talent.
possible.
So when Zhuge Liang said this, he didn't directly say death. After all, people like Chang'an also knew about Zhou Yu's situation and it was impossible to die just because he wanted to. Therefore, Zhuge Liang was just a little confused, and there was no such thing as Zhou Yu being assassinated.
Think about things.
"Ah?" Li You was stunned for a moment after hearing this. Unlike Zhuge Liang who would not normally think about this situation, Li You had absolute trust in Zhuge Liang's ability, and even this trust far exceeded his trust in himself, so Li You did not
I don’t think Zhou Yu can easily transcend Zhuge Liang’s observation.
Maybe if Zhou Yu wants to do it, he can indeed do it if he spends some time and energy, but to do this kind of thing means that a lot of experiments have been done before it happens, and Zhuge Liang will definitely have a lot of records.
In the absence of records, Zhou Yu surpassed Zhuge Liang's observation in one go. To be honest, even Zhuge Liang would not believe it, but Li You would not.
Li You, who was in such a thinking, after hearing Zhuge Liang's description, his first reaction was that Zhou Yu died inexplicably, because apart from special means to make the spiritual talent disappear from Zhuge Liang's observation range, there was only betrayal.
The Han Dynasty is no longer an ally of Zhuge Liang, and there are two possibilities: death. Compared with the former, the possibility of death is significantly greater.
"What's wrong, Master Li?" Zhuge Liang looked at Li You's sudden change of expression and realized what Li You was thinking about, but in Zhuge Liang's opinion, this possibility was very small.
"It's better to ask Zichuan to come over for this kind of thing. I don't think it's what you think." Li You lowered his eyebrows and said with a bit of solemnity. Zhuge Liang was somewhat silent after hearing this. If there were other possibilities
, then something really big will happen.
In Northern Europe, Sun Ce, who had defeated Odin, suddenly felt a little frightened. He looked around and found nothing strange. He then used his blank brain to think about it carefully. He didn't think of anything. It just emerged naturally.
Seeing Zhou Yu's face, Sun Ce shook his head and suppressed the panic that occasionally appeared in his heart.
"Zhou Gongjin's spiritual talent disappeared during Kong Ming's observation?" Liu Bei was stunned when he heard this. What kind of operation was this? Although he didn't know what the situation was, Liu Bei's first reaction was that something big had happened. Zhou Yu was dead.
It was not that Zhou Yu had come up with some special means that exceeded his own observation scope, as Zhuge Liang estimated.
"Let Zhong Kang go." Liu Bei, who rarely went on a tour and took care of his children at home to stabilize people's hearts, saw that the Political Yuan sent people out of the palace, and brought Liu Chan with him out of curiosity. Liu Bei, who had rushed over, was
After hearing such exciting news, people were a little confused. What was Zhou Yu doing?
"Send Zhong Kang directly to Ye Diaocheng?" Li You hesitated a bit after receiving Liu Bei's order. If Zhou Yu really had a problem, Xu Chu might not be able to solve it if he went there.
"There won't be any problems in Jiangdong. It could only be something happened with Zhou Gongjin." Liu Bei said to Li You calmly, not caring about Li You's worries.
"That's fine." Zhuge Liang just thought for a moment and accepted Liu Bei's suggestion. Then he looked at Liu Chan beside him with a smile on his face.
"It just so happens that I have nothing to do recently, so I will bring Adouduo with me, and the veterans from East Africa will need to come to Chang'an first when they return. It just so happens that I can meet them all and get to know them." Liu Bei said cheerfully, as if he didn't know anything.
But this recognition of people, how to say, it is difficult to say whether it is for Liu Chan to recognize the other person, or for those people to recognize Liu Chan.
"Adou, how many of the guards in Chang'an do you know now?" Li You drafted the document, printed it, and asked the palace guards to send it to Xu Chu's residence. Now that Liu Bei has nothing to do, he doesn't wander around, so there is no need for Xu Chu in Chang'an City.
There were always guards around, so he could only ask the guards to go and notify him. However, Li You stopped working when he saw Liu Bei, and asked Liu Chan somewhat casually.
Compared with those imperial power tactics, Li You now feels that Liu Bei's method of identifying people is more reliable. On the one hand, it can effectively grasp various domestic and foreign intelligence, and on the other hand, it can also control the context of the army and ensure that
stability of military power.
Li Youxun thought that if Liu Chan inherited this ability, then Liu Yong would have to be called brother even if he was the reincarnation of Emperor Guangwu.
When Liu Bei heard Li You's words, he also realized something. To be honest, Liu Bei was also in the dark under the lamp. He didn't realize what his strongest skill was in his life. On the one hand, knowing people is the best thing;
people!
Liu Bei can now know almost all the troops in the Han Empire, and because he knows more, he has built up the interpersonal relationships of this group of people in his brain. If he maintains them from time to time, these interpersonal relationships can be updated, which is simply outrageous.
"I should be able to get to know more than 400 imperial guards now." Liu Chan thought for a while and said. He was not talking nonsense in this regard. On the one hand, his father occasionally took him there, introduced him with a few words, and then he took note of it.
, on the other hand, I got to know him when he often cheated on me.
After all, Liu Chan was a bit useless, but he was really kind-hearted and didn't have too much airs. In addition, the Imperial Guards in Chang'an were all hard-working ones who had been rotated over. He was a captain, the kind that Liu Bei knew, so
When Liu Bei took Liu Chan with him, he would chat with them whenever they met. Liu Chan was sweet-tongued and would just call him "uncle" or "brother", which was considered meeting people. Over time, Liu Chan really got to know so many people.
"More than four hundred?" Zhuge Liang turned his head and calculated in his mind, "It's really good to know so many Chang'an guards. Keep working hard in the future."
Regardless of the fact that there are only more than 400 people, according to the level of the Chang'an Imperial Guard, these 400 people forming a team, together with Liu Chan's friends, is enough to form the Emperor's Sixth Division, and as the Emperor, if you have money to pay
Under such circumstances, if you can still know the backbone of Tianzi's Sixth Division, then there will be no problem in holding the world firmly.
"Speaking of which, are you two the only ones in the political council today?" Liu Bei asked curiously.
Liu Chan is also very satisfied with Liu Bei's ability to know more than 400 imperial guards. With Liu Chan's situation, he will not lie about this kind of thing, so he can know more than 400 imperial guards. Liu Bei's senses here are at least better than Cao Cao's.
Come on, I think after Cao Cao memorized five, six, seven, or eight hundred people, he couldn't keep up with others. Even the soldiers he remembered in the early days were confused later.
Coupled with Liu Chan's generous character and ability to recognize people, Liu Bei thought that his eldest son was quite reliable.
"Normally, if there is no big event, we are not actually together. Only when Zichuan shows up, we will be called together to deal with certain matters. After the handling is completed, we usually go back to our respective government offices to gather our subordinates to work.
Actually, normally there is only Kong Ming here." Li You pointed at Zhuge Liang and said, "Actually, I'm usually over there at Lantai."
"Lantai Yushi, I understand, I understand." Liu Bei said casually.
Li You also smiled when he saw this. He, the censor of Lantai, is very jealous to be honest, but now the family that has the ability to compete with Li You has no time to hate Li You, so Li You lives naturally now.
It's very cool, just do the right thing and move forward step by step.
"How is the situation in Central Asia recently?" Liu Bei looked at Zhuge Liang and asked. Chen Xi was slowly removing his traces. Zhuge Liang is currently in charge of national affairs, but some things still require Chen Xi to make decisions, so what's the matter?
, you can also ask Zhuge Liang directly.
"It's not good. After the Locust Sky was eliminated, the remaining locusts have crossed the Red Sea, and Central Asia has entered the third round of locust plague." Zhuge Liang pulled out the information sent back from the observation post established in Central Asia, with a somewhat confused expression.
gloomy.
??????55.??????
"How long can the Central Asian family last?" Liu Bei frowned when he heard this. The scale of the three locust plagues has been reduced to tens of billions after the three empires jointly weakened it. But even if it is tens of billions, for the Central Asian family, it is still
It is an irresistible natural disaster.
"The Zhao family, Cui family, and Guo family who had the largest food shortage before have obtained part of the food from other channels. They are currently urging food and grass, but according to current estimates, there should be no problem." Zhuge Liang gave three copies to the Central Asian noble families.
The emergency food and fodder requirements that were sent out were presented, as well as the disposal plan for the Zhen family, indicating that the matter could be brought to an end first.
After all, those who are still shouting loudly that there is no food are the ones who can survive.
"I heard that the family that got food from Media was blackmailed by other families?" Liu Bei took the official document handed over by Zhuge Liang, looked at it twice and asked.
Zhao and Cui teamed up to take down Media and make up for their own food shortage. During this period, although Haftan arrived late, he came after all and ate some leftovers. However, Haftan himself was a wild dog, so he also
Regardless of this, the Zhao family and the Cui family were also deeply afraid of Haftan's combat power, so they used the Zhen family's supplies as a favor and gave Guo Liuyin a tenth of it.
So Guo Zhao actively returned and squatted here in Media Trading City. After all, there was no house in his fiefdom now, so he could use this place as a shelter first. Regarding this, the Zhao family and the Cui family also
There is no good way, I can only hold my nose and admit it.
It can be said that these three families have completely solved the food problem and can continue to survive. Then the Zhao family, who returned home with a full load, was blocked by the Wang family of Taiyuan, and the Cui family was blocked by the Yang family.
These two families are not cruel at all, they just ask that according to the rationing system, you Zhao and Cui will give you as much as you need, and our family will be given one-third.
Compared with Cui's struggle, Zhao Jian was much more direct here. He didn't say a single extra word and let Wang Xiang figure it out for himself. Wang Xiang took the Wang family with him for only one morning and took away the needed ones.
For part of the food and grass, the Wang family and the Zhao family did not have any communication during this period, but Wang Xiang knew very well that there was no quarrel, and it was all a favor.
As for things like debt of gratitude, if it is said that it is not valuable, it is not valuable at all, but if it is said to be valuable, such a wealthy and powerful person, especially a guy who has few contacts but is very loyal, this time Zhao Jian gave it to
At least when the Zhao family is wiped out, the old Wang family will have to protect a child of the Zhao family.
If things happen again, after the old Wang family has raised and educated the child, they will have to help rehabilitate the fallen old Zhao family, and then let the child stand up as the lintel of their own family.
Many people in the Zhao family were actually dissatisfied with Zhao Jian giving the grain to the Wang family, but considering that it was Zhao Jian who made a decisive decision and led his army to attack Media and captured it, it was
Now that I know these things, I have nothing to say.
As for the Cui family, the Cui family and the Yang family have actually been at odds for a long time. The relationship between the two parties is very complicated. There are friendships, mutual hindrances, and mutual sanctions. But in the end, after much hesitation, the Cui family gave up.
Part of Yang's food and grass, but this part of the food and grass is not enough, it can only be said to let Yang's support for a little longer.
Liu Bei's own intelligence system basically relies on person-to-person transmission, but there are many sources of information, and the brothers who dare to tell Liu Bei are basically not talking nonsense, so the accuracy is quite high. After all, there are always some brothers who can outrun.
The inn's official documents are delivered quickly, and the outrageous news is given in advance.
After all, it is true that a field worker can travel thousands of miles away, clock in to work in Chang'an, eat in Luoyang, patrol Weiyang Palace, and work as a fisherman on the Yangtze River.
Especially because Huang Tao is too curly, the guard brother from Chang'an specially prepared a batch of curly rolls for Huang Tao. Huang Tao's brothers can run so fast, it's amazing. Well, you're amazing. I can't run against you, but at your level.
I can't find the third one, but I can find ten head offices with the same level as you.
That's right, just like what Da Sinong Cheng said to Huang Tao at that time, the field missions assigned to the Imperial Guards are not for you to receive field subsidy, but for the brothers of the Imperial Guards to receive appropriate field service allowances.
I go back to my hometown once a month to show the country's care.
Huang Tao inadvertently did too much swiping, which resulted in many guardsmen not returning to their hometowns for half a year. At first, he thought that his fellow villagers were busy recently, so they went back more frequently. However, when he turned around and asked, he found that his fellow guardsmen had also returned home recently.
Didn't go back? Ask again, the brother who co-managed the entire palace guard basically didn't go back?
This is bullshit. Sima who came by air is not a human being, right? OK, roll him up!
Therefore, intelligence from various places has been coming in very quickly recently. The brothers from the Imperial Guard helped those who were fast to track down Huang Tao. They even specially found fast brothers from other places to come over for further training and continue to track down Huang Tao.
, but for now, it seems that Huang Tao can only be suppressed by quantity.
There is no way, compared with the mobile power, Huang Tao is just like a highly mobile inner Qi separated from the body, or the kind with a clone, a man who can run fast with normal thinking, he really can't catch up with Huang Tao.
After Liu Bei knew about this in private, he planned to call Huang Tao and those people together for a big competition, then talk about the matter and give both sides a step to step down, and then wait for half a year and transfer Huang Tao to another place.
A county lieutenant or a military commander in Yuzhou.
However, recently it seems that the Imperial Guards in Chang'an may have realized that Huang Tao is not even a little bit faster, and some have admitted defeat. They plan to treat Huang Tao to a drink and no longer engage in involution. Therefore, in the next two years, there is a high probability that Huang Tao will
Still serving as Sima of the Imperial Guard in Chang'an.
Although this official position only has a salary of 600 shi, it is normal to say that the Beijing official is three levels higher, not to mention the one who leads troops.
"Now the food problem mainly occurs in families such as the Yuan family in Chen County and the Yang family in Hongnong?" Liu Bei asked after reading the official document, and Zhuge Liang nodded after hearing this.
"The supplies still haven't arrived?" Liu Bei asked with a cold light in his eyes.
Zhuge Liang didn't answer, but Liu Bei already understood.
"How long can the Yang family and the Yuan family last?" Liu Bei looked at Zhuge Liang and asked.
"When the supplies arrive, the Yang family and the Yuan family should be out of food." Zhuge Liang sighed and said. Of course, if this sentence is reversed, it means that only the Yang family and the Yuan family are really out of food. Sima Lang's food and grass
In other words, if they can't reach an agreement, Sima Lang's food will only arrive when Yang and Yuan are out of food.
Then the question arises, will there be any problems with Sima Lang's judgment?
"You don't care?" At this moment, Liu Bei's expression became extremely cold, and he even looked at Li You with a cold light. As a guy who has knitted straw sandals and suffered from hunger, Liu Bei knew very well how terrifying hunger is.
What's more, the people under the rule of the Yuan family in Chenjun and the Yang family in Hongnong are not counted as naturalized Parthian people. There are hundreds of thousands of people in the Han Dynasty alone.
"We are waiting for Sima Lang to be assassinated." Li You said very calmly, "Sometimes a cruel assassination in the street can best alert the bureaucracy and let them understand what should be done, what should not be done, and how the law will handle it.
On the contrary, it has no such effect.”
What scares the bureaucracy the most is members of the bureaucracy being dealt with by fellow members of the bureaucracy? No!
What scares the bureaucracy the most is that someone who thinks he is the son of a rich man, plays an important role, and holds the power, is stabbed to death on the street by the despised ants and ants.
Because the former is the struggle of a small number of people and is the operation of superiors who claim to be civilized, while the latter will reveal the essence of this world - the most ordinary and silent living beings are the basis for overthrowing everything.
"You?" Liu Bei was stunned for a moment.
But before Liu Bei could get angry, Zhuge Liang had already opened his mouth to explain, "It was the choice made by the Yuan family and the Yang family."
The first half of the year is over. It feels like time flies incredibly fast.
