Hengdao Sixteen Kingdoms

Chapter 326
"The Qin and Jin battles took place in Bailuyuan, and they fought all the way to Tongguan. Fu Xiong and Fu Chang took arrows and stones in person. They fought hard. The morale of the Qin army was greatly boosted. They defeated the Jin army and captured tens of thousands of people. It is said that both Fu Xiong and Fu Chang were shot Injuries, the elite of the Qin army also suffered casualties, so they dare not pursue them."

In Tongque Terrace, Zhang Shengye read the battle report from Guanzhong.

Huanwen's motive for the Northern Expedition was not pure. After delaying for so long, he missed the opportunity and the defeat was inevitable.

No one in the hall was surprised.

Huan Wen's goal was not the Northern Expedition at all, and he was not interested in occupying Guanzhong.

Li Yue said: "Fu's casualties are not small, someone must be eager to take action."

"What Your Highness said is very true. Yao Xiang assembled an army of [-] and joined Zhang Ping to attack Hedong. King Zhuo of Longyou joined forces with the Zhang family of Liangzhou to prepare for a counterattack."

According to the current trend, even if the Fu family can eventually rise as in history, it will inevitably fall behind Liang Guo.

The decline of Guanzhong is not below that of the Central Plains.

There are two reasons for the rise in history and the final victory over the Murong family. First, Fu Jian and Wang Meng worked hard to rule the country, and second, the civil strife in Qianyan.

With the continuous infiltration of the school affairs office, Li Yue's understanding of Yan Guo became clearer and clearer.

Almost every generation has its share of rivalry.

Murong Xin forced Murong Tuyuhun away, and Murong Yu killed Murong Han, Murong Zhao, and Murong Ren. In this generation, the feud between Murong Jun and Murong Chui was raging in Yan State, and it was only because of Murong Ke's restraint that they lived in peace.

In short, Liang State has Liang State's problems, and Yan State also has Yan State's contradictions.

Both are in the stage of expansion, and contradictions are hidden.

Entering winter, the world has become much calmer, but this calmness is a preparation for next year's war.

At the end of the year, Li Yue ordered the officials and soldiers of Yecheng to take turns to rest and bathe, so that they could get together with their families and live a stable life for a few days, which can be regarded as contributing to the reproduction of the population.

One by one, the way of civil and military affairs.

Struggle for world hegemony is a long process. If you are tense all day long and the pressure is not released, problems will arise sooner or later.

In ancient times, when marching and fighting, camp roars often occurred.

In the past few months, the new army went hunting and harvested a lot. Li Yue simply took out the meat and divided it into [-] catties for each soldier. They went home to have a good year. If it was not enough, they slaughtered the cattle in the pasture. sheep.

Eat and drink enough to have the strength to fight the enemy next year.

People do not suffer from scarcity but inequality. Although there are not many things, the soldiers are very grateful and offer the wolf teeth, tiger claws, leopard tails and pheasant feathers they have hunted.

Sending goose feathers from thousands of miles away is a light gift but heavy with affection. Naturally, Li Yue would not disappoint the soldiers. He accepted all who came and filled up half of the room.

Seeing that the Chinese New Year was coming, Li Yue summoned Cui Hong for a drink.

In the Eastern Han, Wei and Jin Dynasties, the music was the Hudi and the harp, the royal was the Hu bed, the food was Qiang boiled and broiled, and the utensils were wild dishes.

Qiang cooking is actually a hot pot, and roasting is a barbecue on an iron plate.

Dou Gu, a general of the Eastern Han Dynasty, defeated the Xiongnu and then traveled to the Western Regions. The Qiang Hu respected him and held a banquet to entertain him. The roasted meat was not yet cooked. Everyone knelt before cutting it. The blood flowed between their fingers and entered Dou Gu. Dou Gu ate it and thought it was delicious. , So it was spread to China.

"Your Highness is working hard, Liang Guo is flourishing, and Hong thinks that now is the time to recruit talents." Cui Hong was born in a noble family, and he has long been tired of eating these things.

After tasting a few chopsticks, we will get to the point.

Li Yue also feels that Liang Guo has entered a bottleneck period, and everything around it that can be annexed has been annexed, and the rest are some hard bones.

Although the Martial Arts Hall and the Martial Arts Hall are continuously cultivating talents.

But really great talents are hard to cultivate.

Cui Jin, Zhou Qian, Chang Wei, Liu Qun, Liu Qi and others each have their own strengths and weaknesses.

Looking at the surrounding forces, Yan Guowu has Murong Ke, Murong Chui, Mu Yugen, Yue Wan and others, and Wen has Feng Yi, Yang Yu, and Huang Fuzhen. The quality and quantity of talents are stronger than Liang Guo.

There are not many handsome talents in Li Yue's hands. When encountering a big battle, Li Yue has to carry the knife himself.

If this situation continues, it is definitely not a long-term solution.

"What do you suggest?"

Cui Hong picked up the wine bottle, and said casually: "The Cui family has a lot of talents, capable of writing and martial arts, and they are all willing to serve His Highness as a dog and horse!" Wisdom is directly proportional.

He could pretend to be calm, but Li Yue had to be vigilant.

The tyrants of the gentry will not give in vain. They support themselves in order to share a piece of Liang Guo's pie.

Cui Jin had already promoted a group of Cui family members before, but she did not favor them. They all started from the bottom and were promoted based on their ability. Naturally, the progress was a bit slow.

Now that Cui Hong mentioned it again, it was obvious that the Cui family was probing.

The concubines are all daughters of the Cui family, Cui Hong's future is limitless, and Cui Jin is Li Yue's sworn brother. Looking at it this way, the power of the Cui family in Liang Guo is a bit terrifying.

The rapid expansion of any force is extremely dangerous, regardless of whether they are loyal or not, the current situation will push them away.

"The imperial examination will be held in the spring, and then we can take the exam together. Apart from the literary examination, we will be preparing for the military examination alone. Those who are talented will definitely use it." Li Yue looked at Cui Hong's expression, and tapped his fingers on the table.

Cui Hong touched his nose, "What Your Highness said is true."

The atmosphere was a little dull.

Coincidentally, the palace man sent Yueji to ask to see her.

It was inconvenient for Cui Hong to meet with the female relatives, so he cupped his hands and said, "Hong is overwhelmed with alcohol, so I will take my leave first."

Li Yue made a big move, "Here, take Cui Lang back to his home in a car."

"Thank you, Your Highness." Cui Hong politely withdrew.

Li Yue looked at his back thoughtfully.

Cui Hong is undoubtedly talented, the key point is that he is still young and has amazing potential, but he seems to be more interested in the interests of the Cui family.

Of course, this is also human nature.

The Cui family had raised Cui Hong for more than ten years, and it was impossible for them to recognize their ancestors' coffin once they saw him.

He should be reused and guarded against.

Just like the powerful gentry, borrow their strength, but you can't be too indulgent and too dependent on them, otherwise Cao Wei back then and Jiangdong today are the future of Liang Guo.

Among them, you have to decide by yourself.

Li Yue can only hope that after the imperial examination, he will vigorously support the poor and common people to fight against them.

However, historical experience has proved that once the poor and common people gain power, they will also grow into the elite of the noble family...

Cui Hong walked on the front foot, and Yue Ji walked in on the back foot. Her cheeks were red and she was covered with some snow. She saw no outsiders, so she was not so polite.

The palace man added a pair of bowls and chopsticks.

"You came at the right time, and the meat is cooked." Li Yue laughed, "How has the hospital been doing in the past two months?"

"Wang Ling has an elder brother, so naturally no one dares to stop her, but Yue Ji has something important to report to her elder brother today." Yue Ji looked serious.

Li Yue jokingly said: "What big things can you do? Have you found your sweetheart? Are you ready to get married? I have the law, and if a woman does not marry at fifteen, she will be fined one stone and forced to work for half a year."

Yue Ji's cheeks turned even redder, "Oh, my brother will make fun of me, and my younger sister is here to recommend a great talent for my brother."

"Great talent?" Li Yue put down the bowl and chopsticks, remembering who she recommended more than a year ago, "Meng Kuang?"

Li Yue had heard a little about the group of people gathered on Songgao Mountain, and the most famous one was Farao.

Farao encouraged Ran Min to meet Yue Wan, Yao Xiang, and Shi Kun, and killed a hundred thousand elites, as well as Ran Wei...

Li Yue picked up the wine bottle and brought it to his mouth.

"Yes, no..." Yueji nodded, then shook her head, "Meng Kuang is a pseudonym, this person's real name is Wang Meng, and his surname is Jinglue."

pat!

The wine bottle fell to the ground, smashed to pieces, Li Yue stood up with a thud, and stared at Yue Ji, "Wang Meng, Wang Jinglue!"
