Whoever wins the crouching dragon wins the world

Strategize in the midst of decisive victory thousands of miles away.Although Liu Xi expanded his territory several times, he never moved his nest and lived in Xinye City all the time.He expressed no interest in visiting Nanyang in person.

"An inch of time is worth an inch of gold, and an inch of gold is hard to buy an inch of time, do you know that it takes a day to ride a fast horse from Xinye to Nanyang, how can I spare time to waste time?" He instructed me confidently in the letter, "You are free anyway. Come here and see your brother! By the way, bring me some Nanyang sesame candy, jiaoer, bean tendon, camellia oleifera, roast chicken, pork knuckle, sauerkraut, Guanzhai dish, ginger pepper (thousand words are omitted below), come from every Nanyang The famous people in the city all told me that Nanyang snacks are so delicious that you don’t want them, but no matter who they talk about, they will never remember to bring them to me!”

... How resentful is this?

But when I finally delivered the delicious food to his mouth after all my hard work, he was already too busy to even have time to eat.

Expanding the county into a county seems to be an understatement, but in fact the general affairs are complicated and can not be sorted out overnight.Moreover, although Liu Biao was one of the heroes at the end of the Han Dynasty, he was a "self-defense thief". The library is empty, and the fields are everywhere.

According to preliminary estimates, there are tens of thousands of households newly included under Liu Xi's jurisdiction. Except for a few aristocratic families, most of them are ordinary people with no permanent property.In the past, under Liu Biao's rule, they could barely survive the cold winter and summer hunger. Now that Liu Xi is in charge, they are clear and reasonable, and their living standards must be raised to a higher level.Therefore, the first thing Liu Xi did after he won the control of counties and counties was to send people to check the household registration, measure the land, call on the masses to accumulate grain, build high walls, and actively carry out production to save themselves.He is familiar with history books and knows the simplicity of the people. They will support whoever feeds them.Since he has the great ambition to compete in the world, he cannot go against the wishes of the majority.Xinye is the first territory that Liu Xi occupied, and the quality of life in the area is even more exemplary.

Liu Xi felt that he could do too much.With the wisdom of the 21st century in his mind, his vision and thinking are much more advanced than that of the local aborigines.He knows that waterwheels are more productive than overturned vehicles, that using Jiangdong plows is less labor-intensive than traditional Leisi, and that he can go to the deep sea to catch delicious sea fish as long as he builds a large boat with a deep enough draft... 2000 years ahead of civilization, as long as he has Time, he can change this era.

He wished he could transfer all modern advanced technology to the Three Kingdoms overnight to benefit the people of Xinye.

"I also hope that the princess will advise His Royal Highness, to fight if there is a war, and to rest if there is no war. It is a long-term way. Now that Xinye is calm, the lord does not know how to rest, but is anxious and angry. What if he really comes to the city one day, so what?" Meng Gongwei, who was transferred from the local government to the central government, tried to persuade Liu Xi to no avail, and turned his ideas on me.

I wondered, "Why doesn't he know how to recuperate?" I inquired about Liu Xi's diet, and it was obviously normal.

Meng Gongwei’s righteous words are strict: “My lord works hard every day until the child’s time to rest, which is not a strategy for health preservation.” Translated into modern Chinese, it means that Liu Xi goes to bed at [-] o’clock every night, and let Meng Gongwei slip into the bed as soon as it gets dark these days. worried.

It's definitely a generation gap. Night owls are rampant in the 21st century, but in the Three Kingdoms, lighting up lights at night is expensive and eye-consuming, so except for a very small number of workaholics, there are very few night battles with lights on.

Thinking back to Liu Xi's past record of fighting until one or two o'clock in the morning, I really feel that he has taken care of his subjects' feelings: "Prince Ping'an is in good health, it's okay to rest later."

Meng Gongwei persisted: "When I was young, I didn't know restraint, but when I grow old, it's too late to regret it!"

Few people can understand Liu Xi's urgency to build a new field, but I can empathize with his worries.According to the history of our time, Cao Cao mobilized the three armies after the First World War in Xinye and forced Liu Bei to cross the river with the people. This is the story of Zhao Yun riding the savior alone and Liu Bei throwing a dou to win the hearts of the people.In this life, Liu Xi felt that his own strength was weak and he did not want to flee in embarrassment, so he bribed Ma's subordinates to stir up Ma Teng's suspicion of Cao Cao, ordering Cao Cao to direct troops to Xiliang, and Xinye temporarily got a chance to breathe.However, there is only a short period of peace. Once Cao Cao pacifies Xiliang, he will not hesitate to send his troops south and get involved in Xinye.

I don't know what kind of considerations Liu Xi chose to choose the birthplace of Liu Bei in history as the first place for his hegemony.But unlike Liu Bei, who was from a lowly background and was not regarded by Cao Cao in the early days, Liu Xi may have been the thorn in Cao Cao's side and the thorn in his flesh from the first day he settled in Xinye.After all, a prince with orthodox royal blood in his body is not the same threat as a grassroots who calls himself "Uncle Emperor" and started selling shoes.

Cao Cao had already expressed his strategy against Liu Xi through the mouth of Liu Xie: "King Ping'an is also a traitor, and everyone must punish him!"

A murderous "Zhu" word cut off all Liu Xi's escape routes.To live or die, to be king or to be defeated, it only depends on which fist is stronger, he or Cao Cao.

If Liu Xi doesn't think hard now, maybe he won't have a future to regret at all.

Just half a month after Liu Xi entered Nanyang, he ordered [-] elite soldiers, with Kong Ming as his military adviser, Zhao Yun, Zhang Fei, and Qian Chao as his generals, and secretly went to Xiangyang to attack Liu Cong.Before leaving, Kong Ming came to visit and said that he would bid farewell to me face to face.

"I don't see you." The new maid Xia Liang is only eleven or twelve years old. Before taking office, she was threatened and intimidated by Liu Xi Haosheng. She almost regarded me as a tigress who might take her life at any time. They didn't dare to say more, and retreated tremblingly holding the greeting card.

Another older maid, Chunxiang, saw that the atmosphere in the room was a bit oppressive, so she stepped forward to smooth things over with great discernment, "Princess, Xiuniang is waiting outside, when do you think she will come in to measure clothes? Because I don't know what the princess likes, maidservant Today we invited Jinniang from Caixiufang, her two-color embroidery is absolutely outstanding, the colors are clear and beautiful, gorgeous and not vulgar, the princess might as well give it a try."

"Then let her in." I'm not picky about my clothes, but since I'm a princess again, I can't go out to meet guests in sackcloth and gossip like I used to.Since I met Liu Xi, invitations to me to enjoy flowers and have fun have never been broken, most of them are from the family members of Liu Xi's soldiers.I turned down a lot of things on the grounds that I was busy at the beginning, and only picked out some important attendances. Even so, the plan has been scheduled from the beginning of the month to the end of the month.

Although this pair of color embroidery is eye-catching, I don't know how the construction period will be, whether it will be able to make it in time for the banquet in five days...

While thinking about it, Xia Liang turned around, still holding the greeting card in his hand, looking down at me cautiously: "Princess, Mr. Zhuge expected that you didn't want to see him, so he changed another greeting card."

This time, the signatory is Shi Guangyuan.

I was a little speechless: "Is Mr. Guangyuan outside the door?"

Xia Liang shook his head: "I haven't seen him, but Mr. Zhuge has sent a servant to invite him. Mr. Said that he made an appointment with Mr. Guangyuan when he came. If you avoid seeing him, please invite him to visit with you."

It is very similar to the nonsense between Kong Ming and Shi Guangyuan when we were in the thatched cottage - I immediately imagined two villains who were fighting against each other. One bet that I would open the door immediately, and the other insisted that I would be rejected. The final result Of course Kong Ming won.

Guess I'm pretty good at it mentally!I was angrily: "Why do they think that I have to see Shi Guangyuan when he comes? Throw out this greeting card to me too!"

But before Xia Liang obeyed her orders, the maid Dong Nuan rushed in from the door impatiently, her voice seemed to be able to overturn the roof: "Princess, the princess is not good! Mr. Guangyuan is kneeling at the gate of our mansion shirtless." , Said that he would take the thorns and plead guilty, please read this letter, and give him a way out."

What the hell is this going on?Also, these maidservants were too impatient, and they made me a headache from being startled and arguing.

I gave Dong Nuan a hard look, suppressed my anger, took the letter, and read it quickly.
