Chapter 81 Gathering together for a long time
Taishi Ci saw Bo Cai, Yu Da, Gao Shun, Zhao Pu and others welcoming him at the gate of the camp from afar. After several months, both sides missed each other very much. In the affectionate gaze of Bo Cai and others, Tai Shici turned over and dislod and strode towards them.
Everyone knelt down to Taishi Ci and said, "Let's meet General Taishi!" Tai Shici waved his hand to release his energy, helped everyone up from the air, and said emotionally, "Brothers, don't be polite. Let's talk about it when we enter the camp!"
"Ye!" Everyone answered in unison. Then the stars held the moon, surrounded by Taishi Ci and walked to the camp owner. At this time, although everyone is quiet on the surface, their hearts are full of emotions. For a moment, they couldn't feel the bitterness of the cold wind, only warmth, only warmth.
Tai Shici sat in the main seat, and the others knelt down in the seats. After a few months apart, now that we have met, everyone feels that Tai Shici has changed and become more calm and wiser. Experience is really important for a person's growth.
After looking at the crowd, Bo Cai arched his hand and said to Tai Shici, "Congratulations to General Tai Shi on entering the innate realm as he wished! From now on, step into the ranks of fierce generals!"
"Ha ha, this is all thanks to Sun Zan, the Marquis of Ji! ...", Tai Shici briefly told everyone how to enter the innate realm at that time, "Guys, it really takes an opportunity to enter the innate realm. It takes a certain time, place and people. At that time, Zhao Yun and I entered the innate realm at the same time, which we didn't expect in advance. ...A general with intermediate cultivation can only find his own opportunity through continuous hard training and proper meditation. This is what I discussed with Jihou Gongsun Zan and Zhao Yun..."
Listening to Tai Shici's words, the generals above the battalion lieutenant here couldn't help but fall into meditation. Surman, the leader of the Xiongnu cavalry, said to Tai Shici, "What General Taishi said is that Beizhi once almost entered the innate realm in a meditation, but the result was just a flash of inspiration. Beizhi did not catch it in the end. It is quite a pity to think about it so far..."
Speaking of the topic of martial arts, Yu Da and Gao Shun were not calm. Tai Shi Cicai wanted to open his mouth to revive Erman. By the way, Gao here said first: "The humble position is also in the operation of the control camp. Several times, it is also a flash of inspiration in consciousness, and the true qi in the body is boiling hot, but in the end it is the first line..."
As the controller of the array (splashing wind knife array), Yu Da also has such a deep understanding. He nodded to Gao Shun. Then, like Sulman, they paid close attention to Tai Shici. He looked cute like a nursing baby waiting to be fed.
"Oh, your situation is similar to that of Sun Zan, the Marquis of Ji..." Taishi Cijing's eyes sank, and he responded while thinking, "For more than 20 years, Sun Zan, no matter how harsh the war is and how tired he is, he must meet the bodyguards and swords once a day. He also entered the innate realm as he wished in actual combat training with bodyguards last year. Theoretically, every intermediate general can enter the innate realm. If there is a secret, it is: stick to it, let it be, don't be persistent, don't force..."
When Tai Shici talked about this, he suddenly remembered that the teachings of Buddhism should help the intermediate generals calm their minds. Thinking of this, he had the idea of inviting the senior monk Zhiyuan to the barracks.
Everyone nodded frequently when they heard the experience of Tai Shici. The power of the role model is infinite. With Tai Shici as an example, Gao Shun Yuda and others have ignited the flame of hope for the innate realm. Of course, it is the kind of restrained: the goal is clear and the road is blurred.
After talking about the fascinating topic of the innate realm, Bo Cai asked Taishici again, "General Taishi, why didn't Miss Ma go back to Donglai County with you? We are particularly admired Miss Ma, and we all want to see the demeanor of super female generals..."
"Ha ha, this?!" Tai Shici thought of Ma Yunqi and Diao Chan, and a happy look appeared on his face. He couldn't help lowering and slowing down and said, "Yun'er is already pregnant with his own flesh and blood, and now temporarily lives in Yique Villa in the north of Luoyang City. There are two outsiders nearby to take care of..."
Before Tai Shici finished speaking, everyone was in an uproar. They raised their thumbs up excitedly at Taishi Ci one by one. Bo Cai brushed his beard and said to Taishi Ci with a smile, "General Taishi has really gained a lot from the rebelling alliance army. It's worth the trip... How happy it would be if Taishi's mother knew this surprising news!"
"Yes...yes," Taishici nodded one after another and said yes. For the battle in Chang'an City, Bo Cai and others have learned clearly from the dictation of Sulman and others. Therefore, they didn't talk about the Battle of Chang'an City. As for the campaign notice issued by Yuan Shao, the pastor of Yizhou, as the leader of the alliance, they did not receive it because of their low rank, so they could not know. Yuan Shao issued a notice to Qingzhou, and he could only send it to Liu Yu, the pastor of Qingzhou, thousands of miles away.
When Tai Shici told everyone the content of the campaign announcement issued by Yuan Shao, everyone laughed at or scolded Yuan Shao in a happy atmosphere. In Bo Cai's words: Yuan Shao's life is so long and short. Even if Yuan Shao can win the respect and support of the people all over the world, he can't grow the tail of the rabbit, and the grasshopper after autumn will not jump for a few days.
When it comes to Yuan Shao, Bo Cai restrained his sense of joy and proposed to Tai Shici a plan for their future development. Taishi Ci squeezed his lips and inspected the crowd, and then said slowly, "Since I was going to participate in the battle of King Qin's rebellion, the deepest feeling is that if a person wants to achieve a career, he must first have: one is the territory, and the other is strength and power. Only with the territory can there be a sufficient population, which can ensure the stable supply of troops and a sufficient supply of food and fodder. Only with strength and strength can we attack the city and defeat the enemy. In today's situation, it is not easy for us to gain a foothold in our hometown Qingzhou..."
Everyone heard Tai Shici's heartfelt words and fell into meditation. Nowadays, on the surface, Taishici is the chief general of a county, but Taishici and the Pingyuan County he guarded is not related to fish and water, but to oil and water. To put it bluntly, as long as the enemy attacks Pingyuan County, the rich clans in the county may not be able to support Tai Shici to resist the enemy. For all classes in Pingyuan County, they only have a good impression on Tai Shici. Tai Shici is just a military general. In addition, there is no relationship between them.
The only thing that really makes Taishici down-to-earth is Donglai County, where the military and civilians are like a family. If Taishi Ci can't even control his native Qingzhou and tries to occupy and develop other areas, it's not easy to talk about it. However, without Yuan Shao's illustrious identity, nor Liu Yao's noble origin*, how could Tai Shici attract rich clans and ordinary people to follow him? People of all walks of life can easily accept people like Yuan Shao and Liu Yao, but it is difficult for Tai Shici to let the grassroots enter their hearts. This is reality, cruel reality. In front of Taishici's side, there is an insurmountable gap. Is it really so?
To put it bluntly, the actual strength of Etai Shici: nearly 3,000 main forces - nearly 800 camp soldiers, 1,000 Xiongnu cavalry, more than 1,000 successful soldiers, and 7,000 to 8,000 ordinary soldiers who can take weapons and go to the battlefield at any time. With such strength, Taishici can sweep any force in Qingzhou and easily occupy counties and counties, but can Taishici occupy the "hearts of the people"? Especially the heartfelt recognition and convincing of the local rich clans? I guess it's difficult. Who would like to let others eat in their own bowls?
In the consciousness of the rich clans in this era, there is a deep-rooted sense of imperial power, surname consciousness, and regional consciousness that goes deep into the bone marrow... Tai Shici now has the strength to conquer their bodies and has the power of life and death, but he, who is born from the grassroots, can do nothing in front of the deep-rooted consciousness of these people. As long as a person becomes your opposite, you can easily kill him, but you can't defeat him and conquer him! This is Guo Jia's advice to Tai Shici!
Compared with Liu Bei, who has a noble bloodline, he is well-known and can easily get the recognition and support of all levels in a certain region. However, due to his reputation, Liu Bei can't use some conspiracy methods, so that he is so powerful that he still has no fixed place. And Tai Shici's mind and temperament can be said to have not achieved his goal. By any means, it is difficult for him to gain the recognition and support of all walks of life, and with most people, the blood is thicker than water.
All newly opened areas, such as the new islands and fog islands in the East China Sea, are under the control of Taishici. On land, with so many cities, the only thing Taishici can control is Donglai County. Even if it is under control, Taishici is still indirectly controlled by Zhao Pu County and Lieutenant Yu. The premise of control: that is, after breaking through the city, there will be a mass murder, and then the yellow scarf military family members will be moved into the city, living with the simple aborigines who survived in Donglai County. The domineering and domineering aborigines have been slaughtered.
From a bumpy life to a fixed life, from the mountains and forests to the city, the family of the Yellow Turban family was very satisfied; and the aborigines for the rest of their lives after the disaster were very happy. Such city residents believed in what they said, so Taishici deliberately controlled them through the hands of Zhao Pu, the chief executive, and Yu Da, the military governor.
If the topic of martial arts cultivation that Tai Shici first exchanged with everyone aroused the interest of generals, then the topic of future development advocated by Tai Shici aroused everyone's thinking, including generals and civil servants.
Bo Cairuo looked at the crowd thoughtfully, and then said to Taishi Ci, "General Taishi, let me report truthfully: At this time, there is a problem with our supply of grain and fodder..." Bo Cai's voice was a little weak.
When Tai Shici heard the words, his face changed slightly. After thinking a little, he suddenly realized in his heart. He looked at Bo Cai quietly and nodded to let Bo Cai continue to explain the real situation.
Bocai saw that Taishi Ci's expression was very indifferent, so he reported confidently: "General Taishi, Qingzhou is a barren land. Most of the terrain is hilly and ravines. The soil of the plains is soft, which is not suitable for the growth of crops, and the yield is not high... Since the princes of all parties have organized the kings to fight against it, the princes have increased the collection of grain and grass. Since General Taishi left Qingzhou, we have not been able to buy grain from grain and grass bases such as Yingchuan City, Gunzhou, let alone from the Pingyuan County guarded by the general. Later, we found that the grain and fodder in Yingchuan City, Gunzhou had been bought up by Cao Cao and Lv Bu's princes, and the grain and grass in Qingzhou Plain County had been collected for Liu Yu, the lieutenant who lived in Youzhou!
Originally, the grain and grass stored in our Huanglong Valley over the years has been enough for our military and civilian support for several years. However, due to the extreme expansion of the population of Donglai County, coupled with the army of Han Linger stationed in Wenlin County, there are also a surge of thousands of horses. Those grain and fodder are also overstretched, a glass of water. The salary is not enough. For this reason, we have disobeyed the order of Qingzhou Pastor Liu Yao to confisition grain and fodder many times... In order to save grain and fodder, the soldiers and civilians in Donglai County have changed from three meals a day to two meals a day, hehe."
