Anthony touched the wall and was quiet for two days.
When he learned that Liu Xie was summoning, he arrived as soon as possible.
After hearing Liu Xie's question, he immediately felt spirited. "Dear Emperor, there are many countries like stars on the earth from east to west, but there are only four real great powers. Except for His Majesty the Emperor
The great man, the other three great powers, were sold by slaves, and selling slaves was a lucrative big business."
Liu Xie was stunned for a moment, then reacted.
Chinese civilization is a precocious civilization. After the Warring States Period, at the beginning of the Qin and Han Dynasties, slavery system was abolished in the legal sense and became a civilian society. Although there were actually slaves, they were no longer mainstream. Even slaves could not
Killing without reason.
Not only can it not be alive, but it cannot be dead. The system of human sacrifice has long become a recognized barbaric system and is despised by others.
That's why Confucius said that the initiator has no descendants.
But slavery did not disappear and continued until the nineteenth century.
Nowadays, slavery can even be said to be the mainstream social system outside China. Kushan, Parthia, and Rome are all slavery. The same is true for ancient Greece, which was praised by countless people. Slave trading is a prosperous business, and the scale and
Profits are beyond imagination.
It's just that he doesn't have such a concept.
"Where do those slaves come from?"
"Most of them are prisoners of war, and there are barbarians, black and white. What does your Majesty want?"
Liu Xie was interested. "Do you know the female Amazon warrior?"
"Amazon female warrior?" Anthony was a little embarrassed. "I heard that, but they are all races in ancient legends. No one knows whether there is any. If His Majesty the Emperor needs it, Anthony will travel all the most dangerous barbarians.
The tribe must also be found for His Majesty the Emperor.”
"Ancient legend?"
"Well, what I have heard about the recent Amazon female warriors is also from the Alexander era, and it has been four or five hundred years."
"Then who are the female knights you are talking about?"
"The barbarian in the northern forest." Anthony showed the iconic profiteer smile again. "Although it is wild and a little smelly, it is very energetic and screams very loudly, it is completely different from you Han women."
"Palm!" Liu Xie frowned slightly.
"Now!" Anthony patted himself twice without thinking, which was worse than killing mosquitoes.
Liu Xie was also speechless. When he encountered such a thick-skinned person, he really had no good idea and could not kill him directly.
"Where is the northern forest?" Liu Xie asked.
"It is the strictness of the north." Anthony stretched out his hand and pointed casually. "The grassland faces north, from east to west, it is strictness."
Liu Xie did not ask again. Anthony deliberately said it briefly, not wanting to be taken away by others to make a fortune. There are indeed forests in the north, but it is not all forests from east to west.
However, in his impression, the Amazon female warrior seemed to be a tribe in the forest and worshipped the goddess of hunting.
Liu Xie called Ma Yunlu and asked her to see the female slaves brought by Anthony. If they were really suitable for joining the army, they would be incorporated into the female knight camp.
As long as female slaves give food, they don’t pay military salaries, the cost is not high, so they can still try it.
As for Anthony's wrong thoughts, don't think about it. First, he is not short of women and is not that hungry. Second, he is not at ease. Who knows whether these two female slaves are Anthony's eyeliners?
The most common trick for profiteers to corrupt officials is to arrange a few little lovers, female secretary, etc. He has seen him a lot.
Ma Yunlu responded and went with Anthony.
Obviously, she could see through Anthony's little thoughts at a glance and was extremely unfriendly to Anthony. Anthony was very cognitive and honest, and did not dare to play with any tricks.
Shortly after the departure, Liu Xie received a letter from Zhou Zhong.
Zhou Zhong wrote a letter a few days earlier than Yuan Shu's letter of victory, but it was nearly ten days late. Although he was still a working court official, he failed to enjoy the urgent treatment of 600 miles. He wrote a letter and walked on the road.
Nearly a month.
In his book, Zhou Zhong expressed his loyalty to the court, claiming that he had made plans to sacrifice his country for his own life. If Yuan Shao forced him to do so with force, he would die unyieldingly. He would be a Han minister and a Han ghost.
After reading Zhou Zhong's letter of loyalty, Liu Xie was calm.
Zhou Zhong was stranded in Shandong for nearly half a year in the name of recuperation. He did not write to the book early or late, but he wrote to the book to be loyal when Yuan Shao was about to come to the door. If it was a coincidence, he would definitely not believe it.
He was more inclined to think that Zhou Zhong was cunning and cunning. From Yuan Shao's absurd military operations, he saw that Yuan Shao was incompetent and was unwilling to follow Yuan Shao to commit suicide. He would rather return to the court even if he was neglected.
Being neglected is better than becoming a traitor.
The reason why Liu Xie felt this way was that Zhou Yu, who refused to conscript the court last time, still did not respond. If Zhou Zhong really wanted to be loyal to the court, shouldn’t Zhou Yu enter the court?
These old ministers still regard me as fools.
Or they don't care what the court thinks, as long as the population declines, it's enough. When the world is peaceful or the court has obvious advantages, people will naturally recommend them to serve as ministers and praise their noble morality of rather than surrendering, but ignore their shamefulness.
The trick.
Liu Xie ordered people to archive Zhou Zhong's documents and refused to comment.
In his opinion, Zhou Zhong was not as real as Yuan Shu. At least Yuan Shu sent his daughter and son-in-law.
A few days later, Sun Ce's letter of victory was delivered to the store.
This time, Liu Xie finally learned some real situations of the battle. According to the fracture ratio of the casualties, the number of water in the document was removed. It can be seen that Sun Ce had no contact with Yuan Shao's main force, but only defeated the generals under Yuan Shao's command.
Han Meng killed or injured more than a thousand people. The end of the war was not because Sun Ce was able to fight, but because Yuan Shao took the initiative to retreat.
As for the reason for the voluntary retreat, Sun Ce did not say it. Liu Xie estimated that it was related to Liu Bei's achievements in Xuzhou.
Although Liu Bei lost more and won less in his life, he also depends on his opponent. When he met Yuan Shao with a large number of people, or Cao Cao and Lu Xun with super strong military ability, he did not have much chance. When he met a wine bag like Qiong Yuqiong under Yuan Shao, he
Still able to fight.
So, after all, the great victory that was hyped by Yuan Shu was only Liu Bei defeated Chunyu Qiong.
Sure enough, a group of chickens were pecking at each other.
All of this can be defeated, no wonder Zhou Zhong thought Yuan Shao could not do it.
Soon, Liu Bei's documents were also sent to the street.
This time it was not only a victory, but also a request for help.
Yuan Shao's army was approaching and directly surrounded the Sheyang City where Chen Deng was stationed. Although the city had not been broken, Chen Deng obviously could not hold on for too long. Liu Bei's troops were seriously insufficient, especially the lack of cavalry. He hoped that the court could send cavalry reinforcements to relieve the urgent need.
.
After reading it, Liu Xie laughed in silence.
Sure enough, none of Sun Cao and Liu were good at making trouble. One falsely reported his military achievements, the other cried for poverty and asked for rewards, and the other pretended to be deaf and dumb, sitting in the mountains to watch the tiger fight.
They only have one thing in common: ignoring Yuan Shu.
