Wei Ni

Chapter 44
The night falls, and the insects roar.

The watery night breeze at the turn of late spring and early summer gently washes away the hustle and bustle of the day.

The faint fragrance of flowers in the air is so refreshing.

The reflections of the stars all over the sky are like countless pearls sprinkled on the sparkling Onozawa, which makes the night so romantic and colorful, and also forms a very sharp contrast with the lifeless numbness of the Shijia who are busy with spring plowing during the day contrast.

Sure enough, the world is so ironic.

Perhaps, the reason for the 300-year darkest moment of Shenzhou Luchen in the original historical track is not only because of the unbearable Sima family, but also because the Cao Wei regime has planted cause and effect early on.I just don't know if this numbness, which is silent in the darkness, will one day turn into a prairie fire and burn all the injustices in the world.

Also taking advantage of the trend, we trampled our group of meat eaters into the dust.

Xia Houhui, leaning against the pillars of the small pavilion, silently watched the stars falling into the lake, with many thoughts in his heart.

This was his third day and last night in Chengyang County.

The next day, he continued on his way to Huainan Shouchun.

During these three days, Xia Houwei not only took him to see the Shijia Juntun and Li Shumintun, but also told him many things, such as the current situation of the Huainan battlefield, and the support of the Huainan front. , Qing and Yuzhou.

First, he told Xia Houhui very firmly that there should be little war in Huainan this year.

Although the general Cao Zhen's attack on Shu was a foregone conclusion, and the Shu-Wu alliance, according to common sense, when the thief Wu was in Wei's attack on Shu, he would also instigate troops to encircle Wei and save Zhao.But just before the beginning of spring, Sun Quan sent generals Wei Wen and Zhuge Zhi to lead thousands of troops and countless ships to search for Yizhou and Danzhou.

Yangzhou is divided into half by Wei State and Jiangdong, and it is roughly ruled by drawing the river.

If he had the idea of ​​raising troops to invade the country, he would definitely not send out a part of the elite navy to go deep into the sea to find the leftover islands and aliens before the war.

The other is to demonstrate by example what Xia Houhui's biggest advantage is after being a hero of Qiao Pei.

At that time, when Xia Houwei took him to visit Li Shu Min Tun, he proudly claimed that the Min Tun under his jurisdiction was one of the few in the entire Wei Kingdom that had not been encroached upon by aristocratic families and powerful people. It still maintains the distribution of "officials without cattle, six people and four people, half with cattle".

Because after he took office, according to the records in the previous treasury, he took back all the occupied fields.

With very strong means.

He directly took the soldiers and arrested all the stewards and apprentices of the gentry or Haoyou's family who invaded the fields, and entered them into the household registration of the Tuntian customers.In his words, these acres were allocated to the government's farmland during Emperor Wu's time, and the people who cultivated these acres were naturally farmers.

If you don't admit it~
Are you trying to rebel? !

The gentry Hao You, who was in charge of the family and his apprentice was arrested, was not reconciled to this.

He wanted to invite the prefect of Tuojiyin and the governor of Yanzhou to come forward to speak out, but they were rejected without exception.

Without him, the prefects and internal historians of the county are not allowed to interfere with the affairs of the Tuntian school lieutenant according to the law.

The most important thing is that Xia Houwei's identity is not ordinary~
If things get serious and get stabbed into the temple, and bureaucrats of the same level compete, will the emperor Cao Rui favor Qiao Pei and the Yuanxun, or the sheriff with a foreign surname?

Not to mention that in this matter, Master Xiahou Wei is well-known and well-founded!
That is to say, Xia Houwei was secretly passing on his experience as an official to his sixth younger brother who was about to go to work alone in other places.

As a member of the Xiahou family, the biggest advantage is that you naturally have the trust and favor of the emperor!
Therefore, you don't have to worry too much when you are an official.

As long as things are correct and there are laws to follow, it doesn't matter if you use drastic means or act a little aggressively. If you do it boldly, the emperor will help and protect you if you make a mess out of it!

As for Xiahou Hui, who was released from military duty, why should he encourage her to act more "recklessly"~
He didn't want Xiahou Huijiu to be on the Huainan battlefield.

Just as Xia Houhui knew his temperament very well, he also knew Xia Houhui very well-his sixth younger brother did not have the cruel cruelty of "one general will succeed in ten thousand bones"!

But if you want to make achievements or shine on the Huainan battlefield, you must first turn yourself into a person who regards human life as nothing.

This is the legacy of Wei Wu Cao Cao's entrepreneurial period and the advantages and disadvantages of the enemy and ourselves.

During the era of the separatist regimes, Yanzhou was once rebelled by Chen Gong and Zhang Miao, the Yellow Turbans were raging in Qingzhou, Xuzhou was slaughtered several times, and the Jianghuai people were eating each other under Yuan Shu's tyranny.Even in the heartland of the Central Plains, which is known for its abundance, there are hundreds of people left behind.

Later, Jiangdong and Wei Guo repeatedly fought each other in Huainan.

For strategic needs, Wei Wu Cao Cao also moved the entire Jianghuai Li Shu away, so that there would be no human habitation for hundreds of miles below Shouchun City, and no cock crowing for thousands of miles.And when Cao Pi was in power, he conquered Jiangdong three times, leaving Li Shu no time to cultivate and live; when today's son Cao Rui succeeded to the throne, there was another disastrous defeat in the Battle of Shiting, and the ray of vitality that was so hard to recover was also lost. .

It can be said that the eastern front of the Wei State is currently in a tight situation, whether it is soldiers or food supplies.

There is no need to mention half of Yangzhou, but there are some people in Lu'an County.

Qingzhou and Xuzhou can only defend themselves, and no longer have the strength to rush to the Huainan front.

And Yuzhou is also known as Jingzhou, and it is under the jurisdiction of Sima Yi. The daily supply of grain and materials is transferred to the Jingxiang front.Unless there is a war and there is no edict from the emperor, Yuzhou will not provide blood for the Huainan front.

Therefore, it is Yanzhou that really continues to supply blood to the Huainan front.

It's not the few county soldiers in Yanzhou, but the scholars who "served as soldiers in wartime, and instead of fighting as farmers".

As for the situation of the Yanzhou scholar's family, he has already let Xia Houhui witness it with his own eyes.
Do you want to make contributions on the Huainan battlefield, and hope to entrust these soldiers who look like walking corpses to step up to the front and fight the enemy bravely?

Do not!
It is to be ruthless and let these scholars fill the ditch and consume the spirit of the thief Wu; use them as abandoned sons to lure the enemy and contain the main force of the thief Wu, and create opportunities for the standing elite to defeat the thief Wu.

Yes, the lives of these scholars must be paid as the price before we can welcome the hope of defeating the enemy.

"After the Battle of Shiting, the eastern front of Wei State was severely damaged, and I fear that we will no longer have the strength of Hengjiang within ten years."

This is Xia Houwei's emotion.

It is also an advice to Xia Houhui——

If Xia Houhui wants to establish himself as a martial artist, he should strive to enter the Luoyang Central Army.Only by entering the Luoyang Central Army can one be qualified to participate in the war of the whole country, and there is no lack of time to make meritorious deeds.

And he has just been released to Huainan by Zuo Qianwai, how do he plan to go back to Luoyang~
It's not difficult either.

Just learn how he dealt with the embezzlement of the people's farmland.

Man Chong, who now guards the Eastern Front, was first famous for not fearing the powerful and suppressing the powerful.If Xiahouhui maintains his upright style after arriving in Huainan, and takes the opportunity to put forward opinions on the ills of the military system and farming, he will naturally win the appreciation of Man Chong. With the surname Xiahou, it will not be difficult to return to Luoyang.

However, Xia Houwei's painstaking efforts were all in vain.

Xia Houhui was very "stubborn" and believed that the Huainan battlefield had a lot to do, and he was the only choice to stand out as a martial artist.

After all, there is Sun Quan~
However, Xia Houwei's earnestness is not without merit.

On the contrary, he gave Xia Houhui a sense of bright future.

It made Xia Houhui's desire for power to control the power of the government flourish.

Although he had known for a long time that Wei State had a reputation for being violent towards Lishu and soldiers since the beginning of Emperor Wu Cao Cao, but what he heard from his mouth and what he saw with his own eyes was completely different.

Yes, he really wants to change the military system, so that those scholars have the right to be human.

It's just that he doesn't have the strength to change now.

So he also began to have an extremely thirsty for power.

This is not due to his compassionate heart, but because of his great ambition - if he can improve the military system, then he will welcome the support of all the scholars, and have countless soldiers who are willing to die for him!

This kind of power cannot be compared with the scattered adoption of children!

To continue the life of Cao Wei and avoid Shenzhou Lu Shen, persuading the emperor Cao Rui is one of the ways, killing the Gaopingling Incident is also one, and getting rid of unpopular ills such as the Shibing system is also one.

Of course, wanting to improve the military system will not happen overnight.

It was also impossible to tell Xia Houwei the truth.

Therefore, he humbly listened to the fourth brother's orders, and after showing a very useful gesture, he tried to meet him, and proposed another purpose of visiting his brother: to ask Xia Houwei if he would allow his entourage, Uncle Sun Select some children with good qualifications from the scholars' families, and take them back to raise them as trilogy.

In this regard, Xiahou Weilue thought about it and agreed.

My six younger brothers are all engaged in military service, how can I not need to train my own soldiers?

Moreover, he controls most of the Shijia Juntun and Li Shumintun in Jiyin County. Anyway, he just casually marked the records of some Shijia children as premature deaths.

It's just a big deal.

Furthermore, if the children of the scholar family can be adopted by Xia Houhui, it is also a kind of kindness to change their fate, isn't it?
Naturally, after agreeing, he also chattered a few words.

It is a long-term solution to claim to adopt a child from a scholar's family as a part of the army.

And Xia Houhui's current plan is to not be arrogant about his family status after arriving in Shouchun in Huainan, but to befriend the reckless men in the army with a peaceful mind.In this way, in case of a crisis on the battlefield, there will be soldiers who will fight side by side with him in the righteousness of his robes.

For this, Xia Houhui is very sincerely grateful.

It also inspired him another way of thinking.

The standing elite soldiers stationed on the Huainan front should be many people from humble backgrounds, young but talented people, right?
If I treat each other honestly and have a heart-to-heart friendship when he is unknown and his talents are not recognized, I should be able to reap his kindness and attract him to help in the future, right?
Moreover, his friendship with Du Shu is okay~
If you find some petty officials who are limited by the lintel and cannot be promoted, you can also push them to Du Shu to enter the emperor Enke~
With such thoughts in mind, Xia Houhui is not at all depressed about the reality that it may be difficult to make contributions from the thief Wu Xun this year.And after he rushed to Huainan Shouchun to join the job, he really found such a person.
