Han Zuo Gaomen

Chapter 941 Dilemma
Lu De's book house is located between Jinyong City and Luoyang Fort, near a large pool.

Lu De had never been to Luoyang before, and he asked Zuojin to know that the pool next to his book house was called Green Pool. It was also a famous place in the west of Luoyang in China and Korea. The pavilions are stretching, and every midsummer, there are many dignitaries and dignitaries from China and North Korea gather here to escape the summer and visit the garden.

But now those buildings and pavilions have long since disappeared, and the pool surrounded by white stones has long been filthy.Among the remnants of the buildings, some simple shacks were built. The nurseries where the famous orchids were originally planted were also full of crops such as wombat and wild rice, and the growth was just right.

There are large and small potholes distributed among the nurseries, and the surrounding area and the bottom of the pits are paved and surrounded by imperial stones raised from the left.Some are used for retting, and some are used to store dung. Even though autumn is deep now, people walking here can still arouse mosquitoes and flies.

The scale of the bookstore is not too big. It is a stone house that is not too high. There are books and slips sent by Taobao on a special trip. These things are left behind in Luoyang. If you collect them carefully, you will probably be able to gain something. , including some lonely copies of Luther's hometown, which he only heard of but had no chance to see.

The stone house connects the two thatched cottages, which were originally used to teach lectures. There are at most hundreds of people listening here, including both Jin and Hu.At first, Lu De was quite happy about this, thinking that what he learned was not alone, but later found that most of these people didn't care about what he taught, or they wanted to join the Taobao army through this way, or Simply for the meals provided by the bookstore in the morning and evening.

So after more than half a month, when Lu De began to test the subjects taught by the school, most of them disappeared.There are only a dozen people left, or they really have nowhere to go, or they really have ambitions to study.

Seeing this scene, Lu De was inevitably disappointed. In addition, the situation in Heluo became more and more severe during this period, and he had to go to Jinyong City to discuss military affairs most of the time.Even if they stayed in the bookstore, they would just bury their heads in those old chapters and do some repairs. They had given up on the thatched cottage, and only assigned some homework occasionally.

As a result, the number of people in the thatched cottage became less and less, and in the end there were only three or four people left, and they only stayed here as servants.

"Mr. Lu, Mr. Lu?"

On this day, Lu De was revising official books in his room. He had learned a lot of vertical and horizontal strategies, but the most basic skills in academic research, such as rhyme and sentence reading, were not taught and lacked, so doing such things would be half the effort. Hearing a call from outside the door, he went out to look, and found a slightly thin but bright-eyed young man standing outside the door.

Seeing Lu De walking out, the young man took a small step back, and respectfully saluted: "A few days ago, my parents were sick, and my disciple couldn't report daily. It's not intentional to neglect my studies. My parents and parents are in good health, and I will quickly return to the master's school for training."

When Lu De heard this, he couldn't help being stunned for a moment. Many people left his study, but very few returned.The young man in front of him can be said to be the only one, but he has no impression.

He brought the young man into the room, and he couldn't directly express that he had no impression of him at all. When he saw the young man looking at the slips on the desk and the spread paper with great interest, he laughed and said, "You said that you are serving me?" It’s not a wrong thing to quit your job. However, since you have learned something, you can’t let it go, and come here and let me see how much you have learned.”

Seeing the snow-white paper on the desk, the young man waved his hands a little awkwardly. Fan took out a wicker cut into a pen shape from his armpit, and the wicker was worn round and round. It can be seen that it is usually used to practice calligraphy.

"Just use pen and paper."

Lu De took the willow stick and rubbed it in his hand for a moment, and then said: "The only way to enter school is to use the source. Although the hard pen is frugal, it is contrary to the magic of the Six Books. In the past, I also used learning to be frugal, and the old habits are hard to change. The journey of the book is difficult to achieve elegance."

Previously, Taobao's army plundered business travellers, and they used more paper and the like from Runan, so the soldiers naturally didn't use it, so there was a lot of stock in Lude.

After hearing the words, the young man no longer declined, he knelt down and picked up the pen, and then put the pen on the paper. At the beginning, the brushwork was dry and stiff, but after a few words, it gradually became smoother, and soon the paper was smooth. Half of the "Encouraging Learning" written by Cai Yong in the late Han Dynasty appeared, which was exactly what Lu De taught earlier.

Lu De was quite surprised when he saw this. He had no impression of this young man, so he didn't study for a long time, but he was able to master what he had learned in such a short period of time, which showed that he was not lacking in talent and diligence.He was already completely disappointed with the teaching process, but he didn't expect to find a rough jade.

He was about to inquire about the young man, but suddenly there was an order from soldiers outside the door to summon Tao Bao, so he searched for a few enlightenment book posts from the old books he had collected, and ordered: "Let's write it first, and I will come later." To paraphrase for you."

Then Lu De went out again, hurriedly heading for Yong Jin City.

The purpose of Taobao's call was to ask Lu De's opinion on a matter. Guo Rong, the defeated general of Yedi, crossed the river to meet Taobao the day before yesterday, hoping to use the road and borrow some grains.

"Guo Rong is also a descendant of the old Hebei sect. If it is normal to say that if you come to vote in a poor way, I shouldn't be in trouble. But now the king of Zhongshan has entered the state of Xiang, and Guo Rong is engaged in the rebellion of Shikan... I really don't know what to do. How to deal with it, I wonder if the master taught me?"

Tao Bao frowned and said, there was no lack of embarrassment in his words.Guo Rong and Guo Shi led the defeated army into Hanoi. Tao Bao knew about this early on, but the other party had not contacted him before, so he was too lazy to pay attention to it.Now that he came to see him at home, he didn't know what to do.

There are only a few thousand remnants of this group of people, and they have annexed some bandits and bandits in Hanoi earlier, but their strength is not worthy of Taobao's serious consideration.

But the two Guos are somewhat different, not to mention that their family is in the old voice of Hebei, in the current Guanzhong alone, there are Guo Quan, Guo Jing and others who are extremely powerful.Especially Guo Quan, although he was a foreign general who entered Guanzhong, he had a good relationship with Guanzhong, especially the Sanfu Haozong, and he was one of the most important assistants of Hedong Wang Shisheng.

After listening to Tao Bao's question, Lu De also became thoughtful.Regarding Guo Rong's information, he also knew for a long time that the other party is currently only three thousand soldiers, short of food and food, and wandering between the Yellow River and Taihang.

This matter is actually very simple, or they can be directly annexed to resist the enemy's attack later.Either subsidize some food and clothing expenses, let them transit, and form a good relationship with the Guo family forces in Guanzhong.

The embarrassment of Taobao is not how to deal with Guo Rong and other remnants, but more because of the confusion about where Heluo should go.Lu De's previous theory of ten victories and ten defeats is actually only effective in maintaining morale, but it is not very practical.

With the defeat of Shi Kan, the main force of the Jin army began to shift to Heluo, and it was difficult to resist it with the power of Taobao alone.We must face a more realistic problem, which side to ask for help and where is the way out?
And how to deal with Guo Rong's remnants, to some extent, represents the choice of Taobao's troops.If Guo Rong is directly annexed, the Guo family in Guanzhong must be turned against, and then rescue from Guanzhong can no longer be counted on.And if Guo Rong, an important adviser under Shi Kan's command, is let go, it will arouse Zhongshan Wang Shihu's dissatisfaction.

In Lude's view, the westward connection pass is a relatively realistic choice.Historically, Chu and Han struggled for hegemony, Western Chu King Xiang Yu defeated Han King Liu Bang in Pengcheng, Liu Bang retreated to Heluo with his weak and remnant army, sitting in the hinterland of Guanzhong, after years of confrontation, finally ushered in a turning point and won the world.

Although Guanzhong is dilapidated and disputes are endless, Luoyang is also a place that people with insight must take.If Peach Leopard uses the sharing of Heluo as bait, it will definitely be able to attract a considerable number of reinforcements in Guanzhong, offsetting the disadvantages to a certain extent, which is much more reliable than relying on reinforcements from Shihu.

However, the relationship between Taobao and Shisheng in Guanzhong was not harmonious. When Shisheng planned to return to Hebei to participate in the struggle for the highest power in Zhao State in the early years, he was blocked by Taobao to the west of Hangu Pass.

Moreover, including Taobao, most of the generals still have many unrealistic fantasies about Hebei, or longing for home, which can be seen from the fact that their military residence in Heluo has been in the town for many years, but the area has always been dilapidated. .They put themselves in the position of the guest army who was forced by the time and left their hometown. Now that the dispute in Hebei has come to an end, their hearts are even more fervent.

After pondering for a while, Lu De could only suggest Tao Bao to lead Guo Rong's army across the river first, and temporarily imprison him here, and then wait and see how the situation evolves.If Zhongshan Wang Shihu is willing to come to the south to help, he will collect Guo Rong and others to show his loyalty.If the Jin army is really in dire straits, they will ask for help from Guo Rong, knocking on the west of the pass and entering the pass.

Tao Leopard was really in a dilemma, and after hearing Lu De's compromise, he nodded and accepted it. He also understood that his hesitation was a taboo for military strategists, so he said to Lu De: "Mr. Lu is a wise and wise man!" , I wish I could see him sooner. Now that Heluo is in crisis and people's feelings are turbulent, any major event should be settled quickly. But I am over [-] years old and my strength is weak enough to ride a horse. It is really difficult to see far away. , and I don’t want to die in frontier fortresses, with no return date..."

Hearing what Tao Bao said, Lu De was silent for a while.Later, Taobao hinted that if Heluo really did not guard, he would be willing to let Lu De accompany Guo Rong into the customs to ask for help.

But even Tao Bao himself understood that even Shi Kan was defeated by the Huainan army. Once his case is revealed, he will be defeated immediately, and may not be able to wait for reinforcements.So this arrangement is also to find a way out for Lu De.It can be seen that Taobao also respects and even feels guilty for this strategist who has come to invest in such a poor way.

"The half-virtuous man was born poor, and he used to be lonely, angry and self-hatred, so he was useless. He abandoned Chen Gong earlier and became Ming Gong. As for today, even if the fortune is perverted, he must claim it eventually, and he can't bear to be a man of three outs."

When Lu De talked about this, he couldn't help but heaved a deep sigh, and then cheered up and said: "Besides, we are not at the end of the road now, and the soldiers will use their lives in the future, so it may not be impossible to defeat the enemy."

"So, I can only hope that Huang Quan is not alone."

Tao Leopard stroked the gray beard under his chin, his cloudy eyeballs were staring out, and there was some hope hidden in the gloom.

　Later, it is estimated that it will be after midnight, and finally I will ask for a monthly pass, and by the way, ask for a guarantee for the next month.Thank you for your support.
