The three hundred and ninetieth chapters of contention is for contention
Chapter 392: Fighting is to fight
When Li Longji's team was about to return to the capital, it was getting closer and closer to the New Year.
Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan, who wanted to go to the capital to take a break, had to separate from the team in advance on the road and head towards Jilizhou at the fastest speed.
Also walking with him is Li Shaogu, the person with the highest nominal status in the Khitan.
Li Shaogu did not follow Zhang Xiaobao voluntarily. He calculated his days and found that even if he went back, he would not be able to catch up with the New Year. Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan could return to Jilizhou on the 28th or 29th of the twelfth lunar month. If he wanted to take the land route, he would have to spend that year.
But he couldn't resist Zhang Xiaobao's invitation. Zhang Xiaobao said that the military and civilians in Jilizhou invited you to spend the Spring Festival together to enhance communication between the two places. Wang Juan said that he should not hurt the good wishes of the people, so Li Shaogu had to go.
He was afraid of leaving an excuse for Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan to send troops. He had seen the power of the pistol very well. Once the Songmo Governor's Office fought with Jilizhou, unless there was no close contact, the people on his side would fall down like harvesting wheat.
Without close forces, it would be in line with Wang Juan's combat style, and the light cavalry came and went like the wind.
Although I repeatedly said that Wang Juan's combat method was wrong, I always wanted to win with the idea of luck. This method of using troops was not long, but who dared to use such a reason to prove that he could force Wang Juan to hedge you on the battlefield?
Li Shaogu also wanted to see how Jilizhou is developing in person. It is said that Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan are very good and have built the local area very well. It is false to hear it, but true to see it.
The fleet sailed quickly along the water, and the days of Xiaobei and others were as fulfilling as usual, playing games, studying, listening to stories, sleeping, and eating.
Xiaobei, who has been promoted to the fifth-rank official, has to go out every day to show her beautiful clothes to prove that her fifth-rank official is real. She hangs a goldfish bag on one side and a silverfish bag on the other side. The goldfish bag is allowed by Li Longji, and can be worn even if the grade is not enough.
When we saw the estuary, Zhang Gang, who rarely took the initiative to find Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan, came here, that is, Qiang Hu's son.
He followed Zhang Fang, who looked very shy and a little scared.
"You two are not sleeping?" Wang Juan discussed with Zhang Xiaobao how to organize activities in Jilizhou during the Chinese New Year. When he put pigeons in order to arrange them, he saw the two children and pulled them into his arms and asked.
Zhang Fang didn't say anything and buried her head in Wang Juan's arms. Zhang Gang mustered up the courage to speak, "Sister Juanjuan, I want to ask if it's a good weapon, it's a good person."
When Wang Juan heard what Zhang Gang asked, he was stunned for a moment and turned to look at Zhang Xiaobao.
Zhang Xiaobao came over, touched the little guy's head, and said, "It depends on what weapon it is. As long as it cannot be destroyed at one time, it may not be powerful. Even if it is given a pistol team that can break through to a thousand people, your sister Wang Juan can beat him without a pistol.
Weapons are dead, people live, don’t always think about fighting. Those who are good at fighting have no great achievements. The best general is the most powerful general.”
"Is it like Sister Juanjuan now? Even if she doesn't hit someone, others are afraid of it. Is it because my brother is powerful or Sister Juanjuan?" Zhang Gang is much more sensible now and has begun to consider what he will do when he takes over as the patriarch in the future. This is the result of Xiao Bei instilling in him.
Zhang Xiaobao didn't make any noise this time. He didn't want to let the little guy get into the darkness of human nature too early now, and he was even bigger.
Wang Juan took the conversation and said, "No one is the most powerful. It can only be seen who is more suitable. Now your brother Xiaobao is the most suitable. Can you recite the Tao Te Ching? Your brother Xiaobao is now able to fight, and it is very warfare. War may not necessarily require the use of force. Force is only guarantee and deterrent."
Now the little guy can't understand. Isn't fighting a war just killing people? Why did it turn into fighting without fighting?
In order to make him understand as much as possible, Zhang Xiaobao asked: "Who is the best when you are together?"
"Xiao Bei" two little guys replied at the same time.
"Why?" Zhang Xiaobao asked again.
"She can make others stand with her, and whoever messes with her will make others not play with him." Xiaogang had a deep understanding.
"Then did she hit you?"
"without."
"This is what the art of war calls the attack of the enemy. If you attack one territory with other territory, and if you join others, you will try to solve the situation. "
"Okay, Brother Xiaobao, don't tell Xiaobei, otherwise she should know in advance. She is very awesome."
"Yeah, Lagou."
"Pull~hook~hang~hang~ for a hundred years~not change~..."
Seeing the two little guys leaving one after another, Wang Juan shook his head helplessly, "Xiaobao, do you think we have taught them too much? I don't know whether it's good or bad."
"Who stipulates that childhood can only be unknown? As long as they are happy, maintaining the tranquility of kind people requires someone to choose a conspiracy, and there must be someone to do evil. How to choose depends on their own development. For grace, you will be defeated without fighting and can be used this year for the Chinese New Year."
Zhang Xiaobao looked at the cabin where Li Shaogu was and said.
Li Shaogu didn't know that someone was thinking about him at this moment, and he actually didn't need to know that he was restless now. When he was following the boat, he wanted to know Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan as much as possible.
As a result, I found that the more I learned, the more I could not understand. He had seen Xiaohai tell arithmetic to his younger brothers and sisters. He felt it was difficult to say what he said, but Xiaohai was very relaxed when he spoke. He asked Xiaohai if he knew a lot, but Xiaohai scared him with just one sentence.
At that time, Xiaohai told him that the more he knew, the more he realized that he was ignorant. When you can calculate the end of the sea, there are still stars.
Li Shaogu was frightened by the little guys' thoughts and also by the little guys' age. He only knows so much at such a young age. No matter how big he is, wouldn't he have a lot of Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan? Isn't it enough for a pair of Tang Dynasty? The Khitans couldn't find such a child.
"Come." Li Shaogu was scared to the cold sweat of what he had dreamed while taking a nap. He didn't bother to wipe it and shouted outside the cabin.
The man who was responsible for protecting him pushed open the door and said respectfully: "Master, the young man is here."
"Can you contact the Governor's Office?" Li Shaogu dreamed that one day, countless troops of the Tang Dynasty used cannons like Jilizhou gunboats and pistols they saw on the road. After being scared, he was worried about the situation in the Governor's Office.
"I have already contacted you. I want to tell you that I am living well there now. Jilizhou has sent a lot of things, including oil, salt, silk, and taught to the local kangs. They are all for free, and there is also a lot of food to be sold to the people of the Governor's Office at a very low price."
The guard told Li Shaogu what he had just learned.
He picked up a glass of water and poured it hard. Only then did he feel that his throat was not so dry. He wiped his sweat again and asked, "What requests can Jilizhou make?"
"No."
"Okay, go out." Li Shaogu's head was closed, and then said to himself: "What do Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan want to do? Are they really kind to help the Governor's Office? Be careful, be careful, but, but, you are too strong, the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty finally couldn't stand it. Now he sent Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan over, hoping that you can still deal with it."
In the Songmo Governor's Mansion, I suddenly wondered that Jilizhou has sent a lot of things recently. In addition to the very cheap food, the others are all free of money. There are medicines for curing diseases, dry goods from the sea, and silk for making clothes. Although the silk looks a little bad and there are damaged areas, after all, it can be used as money.
Could it be that Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan were afraid of themselves? It seems impossible. They should pacify the 130,000 people and 10,000 soldiers in Jilizhou. They said they were afraid of themselves, so they would rather expect the sun to hit the west.
The price of grain is so cheap that it can be exchanged for half a month with a better fur. It is so cheap that the food you grow here is not as labor as hunting.
Be careful not to let them take the people from the Governor's Office to Jili State.
Thinking of this, I suddenly shouted to the outside, "Come here, tell the person who knows that everything is sent from Jili State, and it is not allowed to be promoted."
When the outsider agreed, he looked at the bow hanging on the wall and shouted again: "Tell the people in charge that they don't have to rush to farm during the New Year, let them practice martial arts diligently, and hunt for me, and exchange prey for more things."
Someone outside responded again, but suddenly started to say a word and murmured: "Zhang Xiaobao, Wang Juan, no matter what you two have plans, no matter how powerful you are, when you meet me, don't even think about getting benefits from me, hum!"
When Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan's fleet arrived at the port of Jilizhou on the evening of the 27th day of the 12th lunar month, the affairs of the Songmo Governor's Office also reached the capital, and the letters written by Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan also followed them to the place.
When Li Longji watched the people in the palace believing in the New Year, he first got the situation of the Songmo Governor's Office and called Gao Lishi to his side.
"Lishi, can you tell me what Xiaobao and Juanjuan planned?"
Gao Lishi received a letter from the pigeon at this moment. He had just read it and quickly replied to Li Longji: "Your Majesty, Xiaobao and Juanjuan's letter has arrived, and I will talk about this."
"Tell me." Li Longji really couldn't understand what it would be beneficial to Zhang Xiaobao and the other two to provide so many things to the Songmo Governor's Office. Isn't this using his own money to raise the thief?
"Reply to Your Majesty, Xiaobao said in his letter that after the New Year's Eve, a large amount of land will be rented in the Songmo Governor's Office to plant white buns. At that time, the local people will take care of it. After harvesting, one pound of white buns can be exchanged for ten kilograms of rice or white flour in Jilizhou. As long as the people who grow white buns can also get a lot of prey hunted by them."
Gao Lishi replied, "No need to ask Li Longji," and then continued.
"Your Majesty, I will give good things to Songmo Governor's Office before the New Year as the third link of the series, so that the people of the Governor's Office will be used to using good things and live on a warm kang, and know that the things in Jilizhou are better than the Governor's Office where they are.
After the Chinese New Year, it is the fourth ring. The rice is cheap but no one grows grain, and the oil is cheap but no one grows beans. Planting white sap can occupy the farming planting. Grain is given every month, leather is collected to train the people, and the people are wild. When the white sap is harvested in winter, and they are not exchanged with it, the people will be angry and warlike, and they will force the people to fight. The superiors can break through, and both the war and the unfighted are abolished.
In the war, the Jilizhou army has been established. If Khitan trains troops and attacks on the pretext of not fighting, it will lose the people's hearts, the people will be unstable, and there will be no food, which will consume its body and weaken its ambitions. The fifth ring will be launched again and recruit its people to Jilizhou."
Li Longji listened quietly. He was so determined that he was scared by Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan's plans, and cold sweat oozed out of his forehead.
After Gao Lishi finished speaking, he said, "So, Xiaobao and Juanjuan want to use their own food to dispel the people of the Songmo Governor's Office's intention to farm, consume their land, and let them fight more beasts and make the people brave. When Bai Diezi comes out, he will cut off the food and force them to fight?
There are 10,000 soldiers in Jilizhou, plus good weapons, but suddenly I can't fight. If I don't want to fight, I don't want to be stable. Unless he uses the army to attack, this plan is determined to come from Xiaobao. I have figured out that Xiaobao is more cruel than Juanjuan. Juanjuan is the general and commander, and he is only using troops. Xiaobao is the master who kills people without blood.
Alas! Thanks to the fact that Zhang and Wang families are from the Tang Dynasty, if there is another country, how can our Tang Dynasty have peace? This matter cannot be rumored. I am waiting for Xiaobao and Juanjuan to sort out the northern part of Hebei Road for me and I will definitely reward you very much at that time."
"I understand, Your Majesty, I just knew that someone impeached Xiaobao and Juanjuan, saying that the two of them produced salt but did not do civil affairs, and were used to build a lake. They only waited for the memorial to be reported by the Censorate after the New Year."
Gao Lishi agreed and said something.
"Press down, all those who impeach Zhang and Wang families will be suppressed." Li Longji said with a heavy face.
Chapter completed!
