At the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty

Once he became a human, there were many more people who wanted to be dogs for themselves.

Then I longed to explore the way to become a human being through this path.

In any case, Guo Peng also realized the benefits of being a human being.

Chen Gui, Chen Deng, leaders of scholars in Xuzhou.

Good, good, good.

Hahahahaha!

Guo Peng is looking forward to what will happen to them, but no matter what, he can find reasons and excuses for himself to enter Xuzhou.

On the Jiangdong side, I heard that Sun Ce and Liu Yao were at war, and the newly established Duchy of Wu and the Kingdom of Yue had a war because of the ownership of Kuaiji County.

The outcome of the war is unclear, but the staff thinks that Liu Yao will lose and Sun Ce will win and occupy all of Jiangdong.

Sun Ce would be a big threat, but even so, he didn't dare to attack Guo Peng rashly. He had to know that if he dared to attack Guo Peng rashly, he would die an ugly death.

"Sun Bofu is young and vigorous, full of vigor, and a lion can't compete with him, but in the end, he only has tens of thousands of soldiers. Can a corner of Jiangdong be able to compete with me?"

Guo Peng didn't take Sun Ce seriously, because he knew that Sun Ce couldn't do anything.

If he dared to invade Guo Peng's forces, he would definitely be dragged to death by the local forces in Jiangdong, unless he was stronger than Guo Peng and dared to play land reform.

Recently, news came from Yizhou that civil strife broke out in Yizhou. Zhao Wei, the former Yizhou Zhengdong Zhonglang, opposed Liu Zhang's claiming Wang Jianguo, declared rebellion, and established himself as Yizhou Shepherd. He wanted to send troops to conquer Liu Zhang. Liu Zhang appointed Shu Kingdom Pang Xi, the general who conquered the north, led the army to conquer it.

War is imminent.

Except for Guo Peng, the other forces have their own troubles, and no one has time to interfere with Guo Peng.

Therefore, Guo Peng should seize this opportunity to get rid of Xianbei's troubles, and when the world changes later, he can cast his eyes south and west, and prepare to aspire to the world.

Chapter 496 .490 Six Mathematics is the foundation of everything

At the beginning of December of the third year of Xingping, Guo Peng made a strategy for the Northern Expedition to Xianbei.

Because the Xianbei Prairie does not need to be operated, the purpose is only to destroy Xianbei's vital forces, as much as possible, and a simple invasion war does not require post-war construction, so the cost is not very high.

The 500-member calculation team under the staff desk began to urgently calculate the food, ordnance, horses, and civilians needed for this battle.

These detailed calculation tasks will be handed over to the calculation team.

Now the entire staff desk believes that the counting team has a great effect on war planning. Even the taciturn and honest Xun You is full of praise for the work of the counting team.

The number of enemies, the time of the enemy's march, the route of the enemy's march, the efficiency of the enemy's march, the various needs of our army, etc.

After obtaining these detailed data, the strategists can deduce the war process in detail based on the map.

Often before the war begins, the process and outcome of a war have been deduced in sevens and eights.

For example, this was the case in the crusade against the Southern Huns. The Southern Huns looked fierce, but in the face of the Wei State Group with extremely strong mobilization and combat effectiveness, the Southern Huns were as vulnerable as a child, and were wiped out by Guo Peng within a month. up.

Among them, the data obtained by the Shusu Group through precise calculations played a very important role, and the main staff of the entire staff desk valued these data very much.

For this reason, Xi Zhong Xunyou and others also specially learned counting from several masters of the counting team, and practiced the academic concept of not being ashamed to ask others.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Guo Peng once again put forward the slogan "Mathematics is the foundation of everything", asked Chen Lin to write an article, and published it everywhere under his command.

He called on officials, clerks, school students and people of insight in the world to learn mathematics while studying classics, and announced that in the future, mathematics will be indispensable in the selection and promotion of officials under his command.

Officials and scholars with strong mathematical ability will get better promotion conditions.

Those who lack mathematical ability, have no mathematical thinking, and those who do not understand the importance of data will not be so easy to go on official careers in the future.

For this reason, he promoted and increased the salaries of the calculation team that played an important role in military planning and daily administration, and also granted the title of Marquis of Guannei to the leading few magic operators with strong calculation skills.

Wang Can from Shanyang County, who was introduced to Guo Peng by Cai Yong before, was familiar with "Nine Chapters of Arithmetic" and had a strong calculation ability. He was reused by Guo Peng and joined the staff as the leader of the calculation team. He made great achievements in the previous crusade against the Southern Huns and was named Tinghou.

It seems that he has become a new celebrity around Guo Peng.

Then Guo Peng also stipulated that if officials want to make their own suggestions on administrative and military issues in the future, they must attach their own investigation results and calculation results, and use data to speak to him.

Without the evidence of data, everything is speculation, and he will not accept any exaggerated or reduced imaginary numbers.

Guo's power is so great that it is enough to shake the learning goals of officials and scholars in a certain sense.

So in order to cater to Guo Peng's slogans and ideas, suddenly, there was a frenzy of learning mathematics in the local area.

Everyone collected the books related to mathematics that they could find at hand, copied and passed them to each other, asked teachers to teach them, studied mathematics hard, learned statistics, and so on.

The matters discussed by the three and five officials are no longer just the Five Classics and Fourteen Schools of Law, or conspiracies and tricks, but more topics about mathematics.

Mathematics-related books such as "Zhou Bi Suan Jing" and "Nine Chapters of Numeracy" immediately became hot topics of discussion.

Although it is far less effective than Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty's strategy of "abolishing a hundred schools of thought to respect Confucianism", fortunately, mathematics cannot shake the status of Confucian classics, so no one rejects it.

If you engage in Fa studies, Mo studies, etc., it will be a reform, and there will be problems.

Don't take too many steps, step by step, use mathematical thinking to impact the dogmatic benevolence and morality in the minds of scholars, and lay the foundation for larger-scale changes in the future.

Math is really fundamental.

Moreover, being a planner will also become a rare step up for the poor family and even the children of Li Shu.

On the premise of no reforms, Guo Peng slightly pushed aside the dense clouds, allowing people in the dark and confused to see a glimmer of hope.

Any little light is a great hope.

When hope gathers enough, it can work miracles.

The scouts headed north in an all-round way, and began to focus on collecting intelligence and news from various ministries of Xianbei. With the help of business travelers from all over Youzhou who were doing smuggling business with Xianbei, they reported their location, population, number of soldiers, etc., for final confirmation and confirmation. statistics.

After the final confirmation and statistics were completed, it was time for Guo Peng to officially send troops northward to attack Xianbei.

The split Xianbei is a soft persimmon. If we don’t pinch it now, should we wait until Kirby can reunify Xianbei before pinching it?

A certain Guo turned his cold gaze to the north, above the prairie.

No matter who it is, don't even think about going south again.

Give me all to do coolies obediently and build a beautiful Wei Empire!

New wars were being planned in full swing, and news from the south and west were constantly being gathered in Ye City.

The secret agents faithfully carried out their missions, so that Guo Peng could understand what was happening in the whole world, and it was convenient to grasp the current situation.

He heard that in Xuzhou, the scholars had great opinions on Tao Qian, and they opposed Tao Qian's establishment of the Duke of Xu. Even though the Duke of Xu had been established, there were many people who rejected the Duke of Xu, but few accepted it.

Everyone said that they were Han Chen and not Xu Chen, which made Tao Qian very annoyed and embarrassed, but he didn't know what to do, should he kill someone?

At this time, he really didn't dare.

Therefore, at the beginning of the founding of Xu Gonguo, the government was shut down, and the administrative efficiency was greatly reduced, and the Xuzhou bosses were dissatisfied.

Scholars spread unfavorable news about Tao Qian through their own channels, instigated speeches against the establishment of Xu Dukedom, and confronted Tao Qian, which made Tao Qian extremely embarrassed for a while.

Guo Peng also heard that Sun Ce, the Duke of Wu who didn't know whether he was lucky or unlucky, had gained an advantage over Liu Yao on the military battlefield. He won three consecutive small-scale battles, but Liu Yao was retreating steadily. The county was about to be taken by Sun Ce.

But on the political battlefield, Sun Ce was very passive.

He couldn't recruit enough officials to be his ministers of the Duke of Wu, and the prefect of the county was fine, they were all his own people, and there were many county magistrates who would rather abandon their official positions than be his ministers of the kingdom of Wu.

Even among the county officials who were single-handedly promoted by him, there were many who were unwilling to be ministers of the state of Wu and chose to abandon their officials, and those who tried to start a rebellion after the establishment of the state of Wu. There were wave after wave of opposition. Incidents also occur frequently.

For this reason, Zhou Yu had to return from the front line and sit in Wu County, busy with Sun Ce every day, recruiting scholars and tyrants.

Unfortunately, the effect is not great.

Sun Ce killed too many people before, and he was too ruthless to offend the public, but now he has established a state and established a country. Everyone's boss is dissatisfied and the boss resists.

Which onion are you?

Are you still feuding the country and becoming the king?

Are you kidding me?

If you don't accept it, you just don't accept it.

No matter how handsome Sun Ce is, no matter how charismatic Zhou Yu is, it is useless.

This is a matter of core interests.

Not to mention Liu Yao, the primary conflict of the Yue Kingdom is that Sun Ce is about to destroy the Yue Kingdom, and it is not Liu Yao's turn to worry about other issues.

Liu Biao is even more funny. He is still in a cold war with Cai Shi and Kuai Shi, so there is nothing to say.

Chapter 497. 490 Can someone like Guo, a cold-blooded political animal who loves power, tolerate it?

Yizhou is interesting.

The Dongzhou faction and the local people started a civil war for their own interests and life and death. Liu Zhang became a banner, a banner that the Dongzhou people depended on for a living.

And Zhao Wei also became a banner, a banner for Yizhou locals to resist "foreign rulers".

The two armies are said to have fought each other, and the battle was quite stalemate. The Dongzhou soldiers led by Pang Xi and the Yizhou soldiers led by the hopeful star of Yizhou locals, Zhao Wei, fought fiercely.

The surrounding area of ​​Jiangzhou was raging with war.

No one can lose, no one is willing to lose, and no one dares to lose.

If you lose at this time, your faction will really be finished.

To put it bluntly, I still refuse to accept it, just refuse to accept it, and if you step on my head, what kind of onion are you?

Why do Yizhou people raise you a local emperor to fight against the central government?

It's easy to feud a state and build a country. It's a matter of one sentence, but if it is really done, will it be so easy?

Mr. Guo’s territory was all laid down. After several years of deep cultivation, his bones were piled up, and he desperately cultivated his reputation to farm the fields. Villages were established one after another. The prestige was extremely high, the military was extremely strong, and he was victorious in every battle. With such a Only with prestige and power can he dare to establish a state and win the support of everyone.

None of you have such great achievements, and none of you have such terrible prestige, so how dare you be so determined to be a monarch?

Guo Peng was deeply worried about these people.

Just after the country was established, there was a civil war and chaos. It is really funny, and it cannot be a threat to Guo Peng at all.

Not to mention Zhang Ji and Duan Yan, all the land is no man's land, these two are really going to have fun, and there are no people in the ruling area, and those who dare to resist are killed, east of Chang'an That's really okay.

Things were different west of Chang'an. Zhang Ji sent people to Liangzhou to declare himself the king of this area, and asked Ma Teng, Han Sui and others to send people to Chang'an to have an audience. As a result, Ma Teng and Han Sui were half dead in anger.

The previous great plague killed many Han and Qiang people, but it gradually subsided. Ma Teng and Han Sui slowly recovered their strength and waited for the next attack in Guanzhong.

In the end, Zhang Ji was about to step on them before they could do anything.

Can you bear it?

Absolutely not.

So Ma Teng and Han Sui killed Zhang Ji's envoy, sent his head back, and then sharpened their knives, ready to show Zhang Ji who is the master of Liangzhou.

The southern and remote areas, which were originally relatively peaceful, were instantly at war. On the contrary, the Central Plains and Hebei, which were prone to war earlier, became peaceful. There was no war. Under Guo Peng's rule, the tool people happily plowed the fields Land, eating, sleeping, and having children seemed extremely comfortable.

30 years in Hedong and 30 years in Hexi.

Guo Peng smiled triumphantly, like a big villain who has succeeded in plotting.

Who said the emperor is useless?

The key depends on how to use it.

A single edict can plunge these places into flames of war, for the sake of fame, profit, and future.

While they were caught in the flames of war, the peaceful Central Plains and Hebei land were constantly recovering their vitality, constantly strengthening construction, constantly storing food, grass and ordnance, and constantly increasing their strength.

The roads are constantly being repaired, extending in all directions, the area of ​​farmland is constantly expanding, the grain output is constantly increasing, and the population is constantly recovering.

The national strength of the Wei State is booming like the rising sun, and it is out of control.

The gap between population and productivity will widen and widen, until finally it becomes a hopeless contrast.

Continue to indulge your selfish desires, continue to indulge your ambitions.

I will bury everything with the flames of war and build a new future on the ruins.

Guo Peng's determination became more and more firm.
