On the Importance of Finishing Work

In fact, Yue also had nothing special to tell Zhao Xiushi, it was nothing more than to report on the placement of the soldiers, which was regarded as daily work.

In fact, what Yue thought at the beginning was to hand over the matter to the civil servants under Zhao Xiushi, and then avoid suspicion for a while, let go of people's vigilance, and seek trust.

But he found helplessly: just like most of Xu Huaiji's subordinates are a group of subordinates who are no more courageous than mosquitoes, most of Zhao Xiushi's subordinates... are young generals who have muscles but not IQ...

And they didn't think there was any problem in knocking down a city and then appointing the original officials in the city.

—— Shi Yue originally prepared plan one, two, three, four, but in the end the other party thought it was a basic operation.

Shi Yue: ...

This world is full of magical operations that make him flip the table.

Anyway, in just a few days, Shi Yue, a sheriff who had just surrendered, successfully broke into the core group of the Zhao family army.

Shi Yue: ...

Not happy at all.

He finished explaining matters to Zhao Xiushi as a matter of routine, and was about to leave, but was stopped by the other party.Zhao Xiushi hesitated to speak, hesitated for a long time, but still did not say why.

It's been like this for several days in a row, and Shi Yue got used to it. He turned around and made an expression of listening seriously.There was no other expression on his face.

I thought that this time also ended in silence, but I didn't expect that Zhao Xiushi spoke this time.

"I'm really sorry about the city gate incident that day."

Shi Yue: ...Huh?

It was difficult for Zhao Xiushi to say this, but after several days of mental training, he still said it, "Brother Xu has already...but I still insist on provoking... Really, really..."

Shi Yue: ...

He felt that the point of this matter was not to apologize to him, but how much Zhao Xiushi should grow his brain.

However, it was obvious that the words were not easy to get out of his mouth.

Shi Yue didn't force himself to make an expression, he also noticed that those subtle changes in his expression, Zhao Xiushi's nerve is thicker than the barrel of a gun, can't see it at all.

Therefore, Shi Yue didn't waste his energy, just said briefly, it doesn't matter. "

Sure enough, Zhao Xiushi heard this immediately, the joy on his face was visible to the naked eye, and he said, "That's great..."

After blurting out this sentence, he felt a slip of the tongue again, and quickly shut up.

But Shi Yue noticed something, and said: "General Zhao, do you have something to tell me?"

"No!" Zhao Xiushi almost jumped up, and after denying it loudly with a guilty conscience, seeing that Xu Huaiji was going to leave like this, he stopped him again, and said in a low voice: "Brother Xu recently... If you are free, can you... give me advice Repair stone one or two."

At the gate of the city that day, Zhao Xiushi was really angry - after all, the opponent clearly had the power to fight, but he didn't resist at all, and he was caught directly by him...

He still had that expressionless look on his face, as if he didn't bother to fight with him.

Although Jia Xian also explained the reason to him after that day, and talked a lot, but the meaning was very simple - in that situation, it was impossible for Governor Xu to fight him.

If it is said that after Jia Xian's persuasion, Zhao Xiushi still had anger in his heart, but after seeing the situation in Guangping County in the past few days, even that little anger disappeared, and he even felt guilty.

Guangping is rich and rich, with a lot of food.

These days, if you have food, you don't have to worry about not being able to recruit soldiers.However, Xu Huaiji guarded the line of the troops stationed in the prefectures and counties, and did not take a step further, and when the Zhao family army came, he surrendered the whole city.

……

Although Guangping has no soldiers, there are many young and strong...

The so-called young and strong are actually soldiers.In his army, there are also many civilians conscripted temporarily, who are not as good as Quang Binh in terms of physical fitness.

Under such circumstances, if it is a strong attack, even if it is captured, it will definitely suffer heavy losses.Not to mention Xu Huaiji's familiarity with the art of war that Xu Huaiji reveals during his daily conversations.

Siege is the most difficult battle... In this case, it is really hard to say who will win and who will lose.

But Xu Junshou was able to surrender the city so simply.

How could there be such a good thing in the sky, Zhao Xiushi was indeed skeptical at first, but this matter really did not benefit Xu Huaiji at all.

After much deliberation, Zhao Xiushi found out the reason——his father's "kindness to know you".

He also discussed this with Jia Xian, and Jia Xian rarely agreed with him.

I couldn't help sighing, thanks to the old lord's good karma, now I'm back with blessings.

However, Zhao Xiushi felt ashamed in his heart: his father recommended Xu Huaiji back then, not with any intention of promoting talents.

An Guogong died of illness suddenly, and anyone with a discerning eye can see that there is something tricky in it.

After talking all night with his cousin Kang Jing, who had resigned and returned to his hometown, his father became silent day by day.

Zhao Xiushi was half a year old at that time, but it was enough for him to remember his father's sudden change.

——From that day on, my father suddenly seldom smiled. He went out early and returned late every day. In just a few months, his sideburns had grown.At the same time, even the demands on him suddenly became stricter.

At that time, he didn't know what happened in Kangjing far away had anything to do with him.

He just complained about his hard work and then cried to his mother.

The mother looked at the bruises on his body, and looked for his father with red eyes.

For the first time in his memory, his father and mother, who had never blushed, quarreled.

He was frightened at the time, and stood there blankly until he was taken down by the servants at home.

However, he vaguely remembered a few scattered sentences "A troubled world will rise" and "Self-protection"...

After that quarrel, he didn't dare to talk about these things with his mother anymore.

His mother would also come to see him, but she would apply medicine to him with red eyes, and urge the kitchen to prepare a healthy meal for him, but she never said words of comfort and admonition such as "don't do it" and "relax for a while".

Thinking about it now, my father at that time had foreseen the current troubled times.

Secretly stationing troops for training, the requirements for him are getting stricter...

Zhao Xiushi would not believe how much his father was still loyal to the imperial court and willing to recommend talented people at that time...it was nothing more than prevarication to the imperial court.

But now, for a recommendation that was not in good faith, Governor Xu devoted all of his county's efforts to repay it.This made Zhao Xiushi really ashamed.

And after a few days of watching on the martial arts arena, that shame turned into admiration.

He suddenly understood why when he entered the city, brother Xu had no way to fight back - if brother Xu made a move, he would undoubtedly lose.

In the past few days, seeing a group of generals in the martial arts arena receiving advice from elder brother Xu, Zhao Xiushi's heart was itching again, his eyes were very hot, and he wanted to beg Xu Huaiji for advice for several days, but he couldn't bear to ask.

It's not that I'm worried about the other party's refusal. A person as high-spirited and upright as Brother Xu will definitely not reject him. It's just that he brought up this question, which is a bit of repayment, and this "favor" is quite watery.

So after he finished speaking, his face turned red and he closed his mouth.

Over there, when Shi Yue heard Zhao Xiushi's request, he was a little surprised, but after thinking about it, he felt that the request made by the other party was reasonable.

Shi Yue vaguely guessed that Zhao Jiajun had misunderstood him, thinking that he surrendered to repay Zhao Gui's appreciation.

Actually...

Shi Yue just made a mistake that fast travelers often make - being restricted by the original owner's memory.

This is helpless, after all, it is the first time in this world, and the experience of the original owner is the fastest and most intuitive way for fast time travelers to understand the world.But it is unavoidable that convenience also has disadvantages, and the vision of the fast traveler is more likely to be restricted by the original owner.

Shi Yue had some experience with this, so after finding out from Xu Huaiji's memory that the opponent claimed to have an army of 20 to besiege Xia Yu, he unconservatively cut the opponent's strength in half.

— at most one hundred thousand.

Facts have proved that Shi Yue's conjecture is correct, but there is still one thing he didn't expect - among the less than [-] people, more than half are disabled that do not constitute any combat effectiveness, and many of the remaining people are disabled. Farmer just dropping a hoe from the field.

To be honest, when Shi Yue looked at these people, he doubted whether they could be called "soldiers".It is more appropriate to say that they are "refugees" rather than soldiers.

But the surrender has been lowered, and now thinking about it doesn't make much sense, Shi Yue silently admitted the idea of ​​repaying his kindness.

—It doesn't do him any harm anyway.

As for the "Jade Seal of Chuanguo", there is also the wish of the original owner...

Then set a small goal first - to conquer Xuzhou.

Numerous experiences have told him that if he wants to make a change, he must first have enough voice.

In today's world, there is nothing more powerful than "territory" and "force".

To be honest, looking at it from time to time, Zhao Xiushi's career as a "general" is obviously more promising than being a "lord".

but……

Now there is no choice.

Anyway, this kid still knows how to ask for advice.

Shi Yue embraced this idea, and even nodded in relief, agreeing.

Zhao Xiushi breathed a sigh of relief, with uncontrollable anticipation on his face, and he didn't even question the statement that Shi Yue asked him to go to the government office tomorrow instead of the martial arts field.

It wasn't until the next morning, looking at the bamboo slips piled up on the table, that Zhao Xiushi faintly realized that something was wrong.

At that time, he was still thinking optimistically, maybe Brother Xu wanted him to finish handling today's government affairs before going to the martial arts field.

He wanted to ask, but looking at Brother Xu's serious face and Jia Xian's expression of relief that "the young master is finally willing to make progress", for some reason, he couldn't say a word.

Let's talk about it later...

Zhao Xiushi, who was thinking like this, sat like this from morning till night.

Just wait for the second day...

Then the second day, the third day, the fourth day...

Before he knew it, a thin layer of snow had fallen on the martial arts arena.

At this moment, the warming clothes are limited, and there are fewer and fewer people on the street, and Zhao Xiushi, who has been locked up in the government office for most of the autumn, slumps in front of the table.

That expression was like that of a dog who had been kept in a cage for a quarter.

——Very unrequited love.

But even in this situation, Zhao Xiushi almost jumped up when he saw a bamboo slip.

"Qin Ming wants to attack Kang Jing?!"

In troubled times, you must call here today, and I will call back tomorrow. It is not uncommon to siege a city.

But siege and siege are not the same.

As for Zhao Xiushi's commotion in Xuzhou, considering the overall situation, it couldn't stir up even a little splash.

But Kang Jing is different, that is where the capital city of Jozhao is located and where the fate of the country is.

The world has been in chaos for so many years, but the political center still maintains a false appearance of stability.

Although all localities have long ignored the imperial court's decrees, there is always a saying that "xx is difficult to implement in the local area", and some people will even make this reason reasonable, so that people can't find any mistakes.

Under such a background, no one has yet uttered the word "reverse" in a clear-cut manner, or directly directed at Kang Jing.

The first person to do it was also beyond everyone's expectations.

——Qin Ming, the Great General who was personally appointed by the imperial court in the past.
