Yuan Shao walked into Yuan Feng's study with heavy steps. Yuan Ji and Yuan Shu were all present. Even Yuan Wei sat next to Yuan Feng unexpectedly. They all focused their eyes on Yuan Shao's face, and Yuan Feng's eyes were filled with relief. Although the Tunqi Battalion lost very ugly, Yuan Shao defeated the infantry battalion, which saved them some face...especially his face.

Yuan Shao was a little scared. Yuan Feng asked someone to call him here. He thought he was just chatting casually, but he didn't expect that he would have such a big situation. He stood at the door and was a little confused for a moment; "Uncle..."

"Benchu, sit down!" Yuan Feng pointed at Yuan Shu intimately. Yuan Shu pouted reluctantly, took a mat and forced Yuan Shao to sit down. Yuan Shao was not in the mood to care about what Yuan Shu was thinking. He took advantage of the time he took off his shoes and sat down, and he was already very calm when he sat down.

"Benchu, today I invite your third uncle to hold a family dinner. One is to celebrate your achievements, and the other is to ask you what you think about the next thing." Yuan Feng said happily. "The emperor had already expressed his voice several times during the court discussion. He wanted to send the Northern Army to the expedition, but Situ Mansion and the Grand Marshal could not provide the money and food, so he could not make the trip immediately. Now the reading of the Northern Military Academy has passed, and the results are still very obvious... The emperor will probably make this proposal again." He paused for a moment, lowered his head and thought for a while, put away his smile, and asked solemnly, "Do you think it is appropriate to go to the expedition at this time?"

Yuan Shao looked at everyone and smiled relaxedly, "What's the right or wrong? Whether it's going to the battle or not, it won't be a loss for me." He took a sip of water and then explained, "If I go to the battle, I have the opportunity to make contributions, of course it is a good thing. If I don't go to the battle, we have already occupied half of the power of the Northern Army, which is also a progress. If we have to conflict with the Yin Shi, I think Yin Shi will win with the Northern Army... and we must also see if we agree or not."

Yuan Shu scratched his head and said disapprovingly, "You will definitely make a contribution when you go to the battle? Maybe you will lose your life."

Yuan Shao glanced at him and smiled and said nothing. He knew what Yuan Shu was thinking now, but he had never had any interest in fighting with Yuan Shu. It was not that he did not dare, but that he was disdainful. Yuan Feng lowered his face and shouted, stopping Yuan Shu from making further trouble. Saying such words in front of everyone was like cursing that Yuan Shao had died early... This is not what Yuan Shu should have said.

"By the beginning, if you want to go on a military post, then we will help you. The emperor has no money. The last time the arsenal collapsed, many weapons were damaged, and it has not been filled yet... Even if you barely go to the battle, it is estimated that it will be difficult to complete the weapons and armor. We want to give you some money and equip you with a personal guard camp, which is our wish."

Yuan Shao was very grateful and thanked him quickly. Although he was not short of this money, Yuan Feng took the initiative to propose it, which was also his desirability and his father's wish for his son. With a strong guard camp, his life on the battlefield would be more guaranteed.

"In addition, Chen Taiqiu and I have discussed... I asked Chen Jifang (Chen Chen) to be a guest in your army."

Chen is a famous scholar in Yingchuan. He is known as the three lords with his eldest son Chen Ji and Chen Yuanfang, and his third son Chen Chen and Jifang. He is famous for his virtues. The famous scholars of Ruying have always been intimate with each other. He is able to invite Chen Chen to the army as a guest under Yuan Shao's subordinates, which will greatly help Yuan Shao's reputation. If the Yuan family had not been famous enough, I am afraid that Chen would not have agreed to this request that sounds ridiculous.

Yuan Shao was very grateful; "Thank you uncle."

Yuan Feng was very satisfied and felt that he had finally done something good for Yuan Shao.

Liu Xiu invited Xiahou Yuan and others to have tea at the Tai Chi Taoist Hall, and asked Duan to comment on the gains and losses of each person in this exercise. Among the few people under Liu Xiu, only the infantry battalion was defeated, and Zhang's expression was calm... He could not see anything unpleasant, but Xiahou Yuan felt very uncomfortable... He felt embarrassed and felt embarrassed to sit near the place and hide in the corner to drink tea alone.

Unexpectedly, after Duan commented on them one by one, he said that this exercise could not be seen in fact, because on the actual battlefield, such situations like everyone knows each other clearly, and the situation on the battlefield changes rapidly. No matter how many scouts there are, they may not be able to truly understand the situation of the other party. Because sometimes fraud is essential, the strong can show weakness, and the weak can show strength, and there are ever-changing rules. This is what the so-called "unwilling to be fooled by war" means.

Today's situation is actually equivalent to competition, which means that the two sides set up their formations and compete fairly. From this perspective, it is necessary for Changshui Camp to win three Sima, because your strength is obviously higher than your opponent. He specifically mentioned Yuan Shao's formation against the infantry camp. He said that cavalry against infantry, one against three in small formation, one against five in large formation. With the same force, infantry could not have a chance to win. Xiahou Yuan and Zhang Neng supported it for most of the hour, which was already a very remarkable achievement. In the avoidance, there were both Xiahou Yuan and Zhang's training and Yuan Shao's unskilled use of cavalry, which increased and decreased, so there was such an opportunity.

In Duan's words, if Yuan Shao was replaced with either Xia Yu or Tian Yan, they could establish the victory by at most two charges, followed by pursuit and massacre. Therefore, Xiahou Yuan and Zhang were the most outstanding people in this exercise. Because you don't forget that the infantry battalion this time was covered by archers, and it was because of the growth of the halberd and the cavalry.

Xiahou Yuan originally thought Duan was comforting him, but later he thought that his words were indeed reasonable, so he turned anger into joy and was humble to everyone's jokes.

Duan finally reminded Liu Xiu that although Yuan Shao and He did not perform well this time, you should pay attention that they have no practical experience, especially Yuan Shao, who is not adapted to the way cavalry fights at all. Three months ago, he couldn't even sit steadily, and this time he was able to command the cavalry in a proper manner. His progress is obvious to all, and he will definitely be a strong opponent in the future.

Duan used the word "opponent", not sure whether it was intentional or unintentional.

Liu Xiu kept everything Duan said in his heart. He knew that he was an expert in playing antiques. Because of his physical reasons, personal fights could be considered a master. However, when it comes to placing troops, he was a pink newcomer. It was his luck to have a famous general like Duan as a teacher. If he didn't study hard and understand it carefully, he would be a waste of talent and would be sorry to the people and the party.

After seeing off Zhao Yun, Han Sui and the others... Liu Xiu talked with Duan for a long time... In the past, it was purely a paper talk, but this time after more than three months of training, he had practical experience in leading troops. When he taught Duan Cun again, many things became more specific and more at the critical point.

They talked for the middle of the night and did not return until midnight.

Liu Xiuqi was a little tired, but was still very excited... This time, the training gained too much enough for him to digest it for a while. When he returned to his house, he still couldn't bear to rest, so he asked Wang Chu to light the lamp and take out the pen and ink... to remember today's experience.

Wang Chu grind the ink... and brewed a pot of tea for Liu Xiu, and stayed silently by the side. He quietly looked at Liu Xiu, who was concentrating on his eyes, with gentleness in his eyes. Liu Xiu wrote a few words, suddenly raised his head and smiled at her, "Achu, I may write very late today. You go and rest first, don't stay up with me anymore."

Wang Chu was a little reluctant; "You should go and rest first and let me help you copy it."

Liu Xiu shook his head, stood up and pushed Wang Chu out the door... "A Chu, I can't believe you... I'm better to write it by hand than to read it a hundred times. I will write it myself and make the impression more deeply. You go to bed earlier, don't worry about me."

Wang Chu nodded, "Husband, please rest early." He waved his hand and left lightly. Liu Xiu looked around, closed the door, closed the window again... He turned back to the bed and bowed to the back of the bed; "Ahung... come out."

The bed curtain moved gently, and Liu Yuanqi walked out from behind, walked to the edge of the bed and sat down, looked at the table with pen and ink spread out, and said with some distress, "It's not a day when the ice is frozen, so you must also pay attention to your body."

Liu Xiu smiled and put away the notes. "Is that okay mother?"

"Okay, I just miss you." Liu Yuanqi sighed slightly, "I told her that it is not convenient to be in Luoyang. I will arrange for you to meet again when you leave Luoyang."

Liu Xiu was silent for a while before looking up at his father, "You came to see me in the middle of the night today, are there anything wrong?"

"You can't come if you have nothing to do?" Liu Yuanqi asked back. Liu Xiu was busy training in Pingle Hall, and he was not convenient for him to go. It was probably three months since he saw Liu Xiu, so he was very surprised to think about it. But he was embarrassed to say these words in front of Liu Xiu, "Ah Weng, you are a god dragon, you are not seeing your head and tail. You can't miss me anymore. You haven't been sleeping in the middle of the night to see me." Liu Xiu felt the atmosphere was a bit heavy and he joked on purpose. Before Liu Yuanqi answered, he said again, "Since I'm here, I'm going to discuss with you. The emperor wants me to lead the troops in the north, but there is not enough money and food. Can you help me think of some solutions?"

Liu Yuanqi lowered his face and sneered, "Do you want me to pay for him to fight?"

"It's not helping him." Liu Xiu shook his head and pointed at his nose; "It's helping me."

"Help you?" Liu Yuanqi became even more unhappy. Although his voice was low, the dissatisfaction in his tone was very obvious. "Is the current Jiangshan yours?"

"Not now, but it may be in the future." Liu Xiu thought about it, took out a map from the side and spread it in front of Liu Yuanqi, pointed to the location of Bingzhou, drew a line along the Taihang Mountains, and drew all the way to Hedong County. "Aweng, now the Huns have reached the central part of Bingzhou. You won't want them to enter Luoyang City and burn Luoyang into ruins, right?"

Liu Yuan raised his eyebrows and stopped talking.

Liu Xiu patted the map lightly and continued, "Aweng, I believe you must be familiar with past history. After the fall of Qin, Chu and Han fought against each other, and the Great Wall built by the First Emperor spent countless manpower and material resources to become a decoration. The Huns rushed straight into the future. After Wang Mang replaced the Han Dynasty, the Central Plains were in chaos, the Huns rekindled, and the border was decayed. Now less than half of Bingzhou is still in our hands. You hope that things in history will happen again. You hope that your descendants will face humiliation from the Xianbei people after they seized the country. Do you want me to send my daughter to the Xianbei to marry?"

"I don't want it." Liu Yuanqi felt very uncomfortable when he heard it. He waved his hand... and interrupted Liu Xiu, "But you can't expect me to spend money to fight for his descendants of Liu Ji."

"I said, it's not for him, but for me." Liu Xiu once again mentioned his father's words; "When the troubled times are coming, who has the right to speak, who has the right to speak. Do you think in my situation, what else can be fought for besides military power? Rebellion?"

"Why not?" Liu Yuanqi said disapprovingly; "So many people in the world can rebel, so can you." "Are there any success so far?" Liu Xiu advised earnestly; "Dad, we are not just about breaking this country, but about seizing this country. Do you think that getting a bunch of ruins in the end will satisfy you?"

"Even the ruins are my family, they are better than other people's flower-like world." Liu Yuanqi said indifferently, pouring himself a cup of tea... and sipped, and praised; "The daughter of the Wang family is skillful and cooks good tea." Then she lowered her face and looked at Liu Xiu in anger. "How can I see your actions? It's more and more like being a loyal minister."

Liu Xiu frowned. He couldn't explain what he was thinking to his father completely. Sometimes he thought that communication was really a big problem. He thought for a long time and asked, "Aweng, do you think if I kill Liu Hong now... I have a chance to succeed to the throne?"

Liu Yuanqi sneered and disdained to answer this question.

"I know Ahon, you have a lot of money, so I want to ask, are you more powerful than the Yuan family?"

Liu Yuanqi was stunned for a moment, thought carefully about what Liu Xiu said for a long time, and finally said with some uncertainty, "Each person has his own strengths...it's not like."

"Then do you think if it's all about rebellion... is it the Yuan family's chance or ours?"

Liu Yuanqi didn't say anything. He looked at the tea cup in his hand, his eyes flashed like the tea soup in the cup. He pondered for a long time, and finally looked at Liu Xiu's eyes and said, "Are you sure you are not being smart and making a wedding dress for others?"

Liu Xiu laughed silently, smiling confidently. He looked at Liu Yuanqi directly and joked, "If you don't believe me, who else can you believe? Liu Bei?"

Liu Yuanqi was not in the mood to joke with him... waved his hand and ended the topic. "I can trust you... but at present, I have to take out my accumulated strength for many years, and it is not time yet. Since you have to do it your own way, then find a way to solve it yourself. When I think you are really doing what you should do, I will naturally take out all those strengths. That is the hard work of many generations, and I cannot easily destroy it in your hands."

Liu Xiu scratched his head in distress and was very disappointed. Whether it was to accumulate strength for himself or to maintain the Han Dynasty... It was the same to manage Bingzhou well and solve the threat of the northern nomadic people first... He could not give the Xiongnu or Xianbei people or Wuhuan people the opportunity to fish in trouble and trigger the tragedy of the Five Barbarians invading China in advance, then he would be a sinner for eternity.

But it is not easy to manage Bingzhou well. The total population of Bingzhou is only more than one million, and even a big county does not have such strength to fight for hegemony in the future. If Bingzhou wants to become stronger, he needs to immigrate to farm... It takes a lot of money, and his father is suspicious of his route and refuses to take out the money in his hands to help him... He can only rely on his own reliance.

But is it easy to be self-reliant? He is good at calligraphy and painting, and is good at forging cultural relics, but he cannot make food. The money he earns in business is a drop in the bucket compared to the money he needs to immigrate to the border, which is far from the same. Although he is so busy, he is really inconspicuous compared to the giants like the Yuan family, and he is even inconspicuous, and cannot even be compared with the Cao family.

One penny forced the hero to death, and what he needed was not one penny or two penny, or even one hundred million or two hundred million. He said that when he attacked the Eastern Qiang, Emperor Xiaohuan prepared 5 billion for him. It was much more difficult to conquer the Xianbei than to conquer the Eastern Qiang, but the emperor could not even take out 500 million.

Liu Yuanqi saw him frowning and thinking about his thoughts, but he didn't interrupt him. He sipped the tea on his own. Unconsciously, he drank a large pot of tea clean, his belly round, and shook the copper pot with some regret. Liu Xiu looked at the copper pot with his eyes intently, and suddenly had an idea.

"Dad..."

Liu Yuanqi was holding the empty pot, a little embarrassed; "The tea tastes good, I have drunk it."

Liu Xiu smiled and was not in the mood to mention tea to him. He asked bluntly, "Do you have a workshop in your hands, such as pottery or glassware."

Liu Yuanqi glanced at him, "Why, want to make money by yourself?"

"If you don't give it to me, can't I make money by myself?" Liu Xiu said angrily; "I have a way to make money. Are you interested in listening?"

"Let me tell you." Liu Yuanqi said carelessly; "Even if I don't... it's not difficult to build one."

Liu Xiu smiled. He dragged a piece of paper, took a pen, quickly wrote a full piece of paper, and then pushed it in front of Liu Yuanqi. Liu Yuanqi glanced at it, a little surprised, "Is this pottery?"

"It's porcelain." Liu Xiu explained. In the cultural relics and antique industry, porcelain is a big deal. Although he did not specialize in the counterfeiting of porcelain in his previous life, he was not unfamiliar with porcelain making. There were already celadon and white porcelain in the Han Dynasty, but they were all primitive... closer to pottery, which is far from the beautiful porcelain in later generations. He was very familiar with the craftsmanship and origin of porcelain. He knew very well where there was good porcelain clay and what kind of kiln should be used. Nowadays, the Han Dynasty was in financial difficulties, but the powerful families had a lot of money to squander. Luxury goods such as exquisite porcelain would definitely have a market.

More importantly, in addition to domestic sales, porcelain is also the highlight of foreign trade... Later generations, like silk, porcelain became the commodity in China's marketing world, and became synonymous with China. It is not just empty talk. Porcelain earned a lot of real money and silver for China in foreign trade.

"How do you know this?" Liu Yuanqi held the piece of paper that could be exchanged for countless gold and silver in Liu Xiu's mouth, and was skeptical.

"Since you have contact with Taipingdao, I believe you won't know that their saint is Yingzi." Liu Xiuliang smiled with the ring on Liang's hand, "Now... your son, I am the owner of this artifact. Dad, do you believe in God's will?"

"Of course I believe it. But God's will is hard to predict. There are many people who claim to be God's will, and there are so many people who truly understand God's will."

"If there is God's will, then I am God's will." Liu Xiu grinned and smiled smugly; "This is what Zhang Jiao of Taiping Dao and Mrs. Si Shi of Tianshidao said."

Liu Yuanqi was shocked. He only now knew that Tang Yingzi was the missing saint of Taipingdao, and the inconspicuous ring on Liu Xiu's hand was the magic weapon of Taipingdao. He looked at the paper in his hand and suddenly felt confident... nodded heavily, "Okay, I'll take it to make a person try it out, 'If it's really as you said, it's really a way to make money."

"Hurry up, I'll wait to use the money." Liu Xiu scratched his head, "I have thousands of mouths waiting for dinner."

"What have you been doing?" Liu Yuanqi smiled angrily.

"I didn't think you wouldn't give me any money," Liu Xiu sighed in disappointment. "I want the horse to run again, but I don't give the horse grass. The emperor is like this, Ahon, you are like this, I've all encountered it."

He talked too late with his father... Later, he insisted on sorting out the notes. Liu Xiu got up a little late the next day... When he arrived at the Houying of the Northern Army, he just sat down and drank a sip of water. Before he could ask about it, Ling Hao led one in.

"people."

"It's Zhongping, what's the matter with me?" Liu Xiu asked while looking through several official documents compiled by Liu Biao on the case. He glanced at the young man behind Ling Hao, and probably Ling Hao was here to recommend talents. However, this young man was very inconspicuous and could not be found in the crowd. He was not strong in body, could not see any specialty, and he didn't look like a talent no matter how he looked. When he was looking at him, the man was also looking at him, with some emotions of disappointment and hope in his eyes, but he was hidden very deeply. If he hadn't been accustomed to analyzing his psychology from the eyes of others in his previous life, he might not have seen it.

"My hometown." Ling Hao leaned closer to Liu Xiu, lowered his voice and said, "Although it was not from some famous family, he was a strange talent. I heard that I came to the adults' account to obey orders and specially rushed to the recommended one."

It turned out that he was also from Yingchuan. Liu Xiu was a little concerned. Many famous scholars of Ruying. Later, most of the advisers under Cao Cao's tent came from Yingchuan. The famous second Xun was, and the genius Guo Jia was also a genius Guo Jia, right? But it was not right to think about it. Guo Jia was born in the Guo family in Yangdi, and was a clan with Guo Xun, who was beaten by him, and was also a big family in Yingchuan.

He thought he did not come from a famous family, so most of the people under his rank are also scholars from poor families. This poor family may not necessarily refer to poor people, but to those families who have never had any high-ranking officials. They are far from those so-called noble families with a noble family with a family of two thousand stones. For scholars like the Yuan family who can only look up to the three masters of the four generations, if you have a little capital, you are the local tyrants like Zhang Fei and Zhao Yun, who basically have no one knows them after leaving the county.

Although Ling Hao claims to be very tall, he is not even as good as Zhang Fei and Zhao Yun. He is a standard poor family. If it were Guo Jia, he would probably not need to recommend him.

Despite this, Liu Xiu put down the cup in his hand, bowed to the young man, and smiled politely, "Since he is a village party in Zhongping, he must be a talented man. Liu Xiu is not talented, so I hope Mr. I will give me advice and ask him about his name in the high surname?"
