Three Kingdoms

When Fei Qian was visiting Cui Hou at Cui's house, Li Ruzheng threw a ballad that his men had just copied on the table with some contempt.

Recently, a song suddenly began to be sung in Beijing:

“Cheng Leshi, Dong fled;

Traveling around Guo, Dong fled.

Meng Tianen, Dong fled;

With gold and purple, Dong fled.

To express gratitude, Dong fled;

Riding the whole car, Dong fled.

When he was ready to take action, Dong fled;

With Zhongci, Dong fled.

Out of the west gate, Dong fled;

Looking at the palace, Dong fled.

Wang Jingcheng, Dong fled;

Day and night ended, Dong fled.

Heartbroken, Dong fled. "

This made Li Ru feel a little inexplicably bored. Would these noble families just play this trick behind their backs every day? Can't we just do something useful in a down-to-earth manner?

These rumors are like flies. Yingying buzzes around from time to time and harasses them. She feels a bit fussy when she smacks them to death, but she ignores them completely. She also feels a little disgusted.

Li Ru looked at the piles of various chapters on the table. Dong Zhuo could play with women and ignore government affairs, but he couldn't. San Gong basically claimed to be sick at home every day, throwing away all the government affairs. Open, if he doesn't do it, the entire central Han Dynasty will basically be in a state of paralysis.

Fortunately, the Han Dynasty court still belonged to a low-level feudal centralized system, and the local government had a certain awareness and ability to operate independently, which relieved Li Ru's pressure to a certain extent. Otherwise, he would have waited until he received the news from the local government. Even if we get the approval right away and go back to the place, the day lilies will probably be cold.

The current problem of the Eastern Han Dynasty is that in addition to the Yellow Turban rebellion in various places, there are also disasters in various places.

The current situations reported in various places include:

In June, Hongnong and Sanfu borers.

In August, there was an earthquake in the capital.

Autumn, Jiuquan earthquake. The Jincheng River overflows for more than 20 miles.

When Li Ru took over the political affairs, he found that the memorial reported in June had not yet been responded to by the local government...

Not only that, this group of Qingliu nobles are also in the mood to make up a ballad and let people sing it everywhere...

Sometimes Li Ru seems to have a premonition. Fortunately, he has chosen the path of dominance. If he had followed the path of kingship, natural disasters would have become more frequent in such a long period of time until he was crushed...

But even so, it seems that the problems and contradictions of the hegemonic route are also being exposed bit by bit.

The ruling Qingliu faction represented by the Wang family and the Yuan family, after supporting the Han Xian Emperor Liu Xie with Dong Zhuo, although they received official awards and were temporarily dormant, Li Ru knew in his heart that under this calm How turbulent the undercurrent is...

As for the Qingliu faction of the opposition party, this nursery rhyme suddenly spread throughout the capital, saying that there was no one behind it, and Li Ru wouldn't believe it even to death.

Anyway, this kind of rumor is either from the ruling party or the opposition party. Anyway, it is inseparable from the Wang and Yuan families...

Shangshu Lu Zhi resigned, Lieutenant of the Central Military Academy Yuan Shao fled, Lieutenant of the Dian Army Cao Cao kidnapped the emperor, and Lieutenant of the Hou Army Bao Xin disappeared... And Yuan Shu, who originally planned to make Yuan Shu a post general to win over the Yuan family and suppress the Wang family, actually did not Ran.

The old guy Yuan Wei also said that Yuan Shu was afraid of being framed and ran away. In fact, everyone knew that Yuan Shu must have been involved in the last robbery of the emperor, but there was insufficient evidence to convict him.

Besides, Yuan Wei still has some effect now, so he will write this down temporarily and calculate it together when he has the opportunity in the future.

Li Ru thought for a long time, and still felt that these problems should be solved as soon as possible. Just like a pustule, if it is allowed to develop, it may eventually lead to a large area of ​​ulcers, but if the pustule is broken in the early stage, it may only cost a moment of pain. That's it.

These Yuan Shao and others who escaped from Luoyang are like pustules. Taking advantage of the fact that they are still fledgling, it is the best choice to catch them all.

The current choice is to lure out all potential enemies as soon as possible, and then gather them all together to eliminate them all at once. Only then can this domineering road be completed in the shortest possible time...

If everything goes well, Li Ru still has many previous ideas to prepare for implementation. The Han Dynasty owes these people for 337 years and will finally have to give a clear explanation. No matter what, even if the world has forgotten Even now, he can't forget the suffering he and his ancestors suffered on the border these years.

Li Ru smiled slightly. What started with the previous Dong ended with the current Dong. Isn't it the greatest irony and the best retaliation?

But before that, I still have to go and see how Dong Zhuo is doing. Dong Zhuo spent a little too long among women this time...

What was the ambition of this Dong family son who had never seen the world when he was in Xiliang?

Really upset.

************

When Fei Qian returned home, Zhang Liao happened to be visiting, which was really surprising.

Not only that, Zhang Liao also brought a spear that he used before and gave it to Fei Qian, which made Fei Qian even more surprised. He quickly asked Uncle Fu to prepare some food and wine to treat Zhang Liao to a meal.

Zhang Liao was not very polite, he just said something and took his seat.

Zhang Liao and Zhang Wenyuan were actually about the same age as Fei Qian at this time, but their long military career and martial arts training made them look older than Fei Qian in appearance.

Zhang Liao was born in Mayi, Yanmen. Although he liked to practice martial arts since childhood, he was originally a poet and calligrapher. However, his family was ruined due to the plunder of the Xianbei barbarians. Therefore, he joined the army in anger and attacked the southward Xianbei barbarians in Bingzhou and Lu Bu. people until Ding Yuan brought them to Luoyang.

Now Zhang Liao has been promoted to the rank of captain of the guard army. He has gone from being a fake military prince with less than one troop to managing soldiers of nearly two corps. Although he is not a full captain, this difference in quantity allows him to temporarily Some discomfort caused Zhang Liao to be a little upset recently.

In fact, sometimes war is about logistics.

Originally, Zhang Liao only had to manage the logistics of less than 200 people, but now the number suddenly increased to nearly a thousand. As a result, some of his original calculation methods were not enough. Although there were scribes accompanying the army to help calculate statistics, Zhang Liao still felt that if he could It would be better to calculate independently. I happened to meet Fei Qian, a disciple of Liu Hong, the great contemporary arithmetic master, so I came to visit him in the name of delivering a spear. In fact, I wanted to learn some calculation methods for military logistics.

The logistics sources of the army in the Han Dynasty were relatively complex, but there were two main sources of food and grass. One was the "taxes" fixedly paid by the citizens, and the other was the "transfer" allocated additionally by the people in the area.

Among the "taxes" alone, there are several types that are used for military purposes: oral money, monthly salary, stipend, average consumption...

Not only that, but also the receipt, registration, use, damage, and scrapping of weapons and equipment such as swords, guns, swords, and halberds...

Then documents need to be formed, money and food have to be collected from the young master's office, weapons have to be collected from the arsenal, and sometimes the young master's office and the arsenal will issue notes asking you to go to various factories to pick them up. For example, just for ordnance factories. There are Ruo Lu, Kao Gong, Shang Fang, Nei Guan, Zuo Yi, Si Gong and so on...

Moreover, the number of things you need to collect from each place is often different. For example, the number of armors and the number of bows and arrows cannot be the same...

Therefore, there were so many numerical records that were produced, which made Zhang Liao dizzy. Sometimes he knew that these military scribes might have done something wrong, but he just couldn't find out.

Therefore, the main purpose of Zhang Liao's visit this time was to seek advice from Fei Qian.
