Rebirth of the Three Kingdoms I call the shots

Gao Qiang, a special soldier who participated in the Wenchuan Earthquake relief in May 2008 in China, became a son after traveling through the Three Kingdoms. Liu Qi has a special feeling for earthquakes. Liu Qi, who became the county magistrate of Xinye, is not bureaucratic.

Once upon a time, it was rumored on the Internet that someone predicted a major earthquake on the eve of the Wenchuan earthquake, but the officials used alarmist talk to affect stability and did not take any precautions. Some organizations shamelessly blamed the earthquake for being unpredictable. disrespectful.

Liu Qi was awakened by a nightmare of an earthquake, but because there are no more records of the earthquake in the second year of Ping in 191 AD, the earthquake that may occur at any time and place has become a ticking time bomb lingering in Liu Qi's mind.

After Liu Qi issued an urgent order to prevent earthquakes in the whole territory of Xinye, he immediately established the Xinye Earthquake Resisting Organization headed by Jiang Wan, went deep into the people, distributed tents, prepared food, grass and anti-epidemic medicines, etc., to prevent earthquakes Become the top priority of the current governance of Xinye.

The anti-earthquake organization mainly did the following things. In addition to the necessary materials needed after the earthquake, the dilapidated houses in the county were checked, and each village arranged 24 hours a special person to stick to the ground. When an earthquake occurs, it can be warned in time and launched a nationwide The army harvested the wheat ahead of time, distributed the grain, and sent Deng Zhi and his people to Luoyang to spend a lot of money to buy a seismograph of Houfeng invented by Zhang Heng in the Eastern Han Dynasty to monitor the source of the earthquake, and sent people to spread rumors to let the surrounding The county is prepared for earthquakes.

Deng Zhi bought the Houfeng Seismograph, which is an exquisite instrument made of refined copper with a diameter of eight feet and shaped like a wine bottle.

There is a raised round cover on the Houfeng Seismograph. The surface of the instrument is engraved with seal characters and figures such as mountains, turtles, birds, and animals. There are eight faucets around the outside of the bottle, according to east, south, west, north, southeast, northeast, and southwest. , Arranged in eight directions in the northwest.The faucet is connected to the engine in the internal channel, and each faucet holds a copper ball in its mouth.

Facing the bottle body faucet, eight toads squatted on the ground, each with their heads up and their mouths open, ready to receive the copper ball.When an earthquake occurs in a certain place, the body of the bottle moves accordingly, triggering the mechanism, causing the dragon head in the direction of the earthquake to open its mouth, spit out copper balls, and fall into the mouth of the copper toad, making a loud noise, so people can know The direction in which the earthquake occurred.

Liu Qi, who was reborn in the Three Kingdoms, was fortunate to witness the great seismograph of the Eastern Han Dynasty, and was amazed at the wisdom of the ancient working people in our country. Some later works on the history of science and technology claimed that the "Houfeng Seismograph" made by Zhang Heng in 132 AD could accurately record earthquakes, which was the first in the West. The first seismograph (made by the Italian Luigi Pamiri in 1856) was more than 1700 years earlier.

……

The earthquake prevention work in Xinye was proceeding in an orderly manner. The news spread to Xiangyang, which aroused Cai Mao's vigilance, and called his confidant general Pang Ji, nephew Zhang Yun and others to discuss the matter.

Cai Mao's face turned pale, he looked at Pang Ji, and said angrily, "Son Liu Qi, I have been to Xinye for many years, and I have never returned to Xiangyang once. It seems that I am determined to separate myself in Xinye. Back then, he was allowed to recruit soldiers in Xinye. Suppressing the bandits, I never thought that they have already supported tens of thousands of troops, and the county people support it, which is tantamount to letting the tiger go back to the mountain. Now Liu Qi is spreading rumors everywhere, scaremongering, saying that the seven counties of Jingxiang will be affected by an earthquake, I don’t know what the intention is?"

Pang Ji didn't dare to look directly at Cai Mao, Cai Mao's undertones seemed to mean blaming Pang Ji, but he didn't harm the playboy Liu Qi many times in Xiangyang, and then he didn't expect that Liu Qi asked for orders to go to Xinye in the name of suppressing bandits, and even more Unexpectedly, Liu Qi's strength has increased greatly in a year's time, which is not to be underestimated.

Zhang Yun didn't think so, and shouted: "Uncle, don't make others ambitious. The eldest son Liu Qi looks powerful, but he is actually a playboy. If he has over ten thousand soldiers, he is also a hungry and hungry people in Xinye. The mob is nothing to worry about. Even if Liu Qi is a tiger, Uncle, why don't you take advantage of Liu Qi's ineffectiveness in suppressing the bandits, support the soldiers and be self-respecting, and go up the mountain to fight tigers on the charge of deceiving the crowd?"

Cai Mao's eyes flashed, and he looked at his nephew Zhang Yun appreciatively. When Liu Qi was allowed to lead a mere two hundred soldiers to Xinye to suppress the bandits, he planned to kill Liu Qi in Xiaoxinye sooner or later as an excuse for his ineffectiveness in suppressing the bandits. Liu Qi with [-] soldiers managed to conquer the local tyrants in Goose City with [-] soldiers in one fell swoop within two months, and even subdued Zhang Ermazi, who was born as the most difficult Kwantung thieves. Xiangyang was busy expanding its troops and missed the opportunity, so there was no excuse to kill Liu Qi.

Pang Ji, who was silent, seemed to see Cai Mao's thoughts, rolled his eyes, and thought of a plan, and said: "What General Zhang said is very true, Xinye is a poor country, food and grass are scarce, and Liu Qi's army of more than [-] is mostly hungry people who have been recruited into the army. He is not hungry and does not have much combat effectiveness. Ten thousand people must drag him to death if they eat food. But now there are no bandits in Xinye, so it is not appropriate to go up the mountain to fight tigers if the bandits are not effective. At that time, the lord governor Liu Biao allowed Liu Qi to recruit troops on his own Yes, and Liu Qi did not reach out to Xiangyang for half a grain of military rations, so it is not appropriate to use the self-respect of the soldiers as an excuse."

Pang Ji made a fool of himself, and didn't say anything about the strategy in his mind. He just looked at Cai Mao and everyone in the audience, and he felt a little proud when he saw that everyone was engrossed in listening. Among Cai Mao's capable generals, Pang Ji's Position is very important, Cai Mao has always obeyed Pang Ji's words.

The other generals didn't say much, they were afraid that they would make Cai Mao angry if they said the wrong thing, but Cai Mao's nephew relied on Cai Mao's uncle, so he could speak freely, and was very dissatisfied with Pang Ji's words, and said loudly: "Pang Gong, Listening to your words really boosted Liu Qi's ambition. This is not good, and that is not good. I can't bear to watch Liu Qi stir up ghosts and ghosts everywhere? My uncle said that letting Liu Qi go is like letting the tiger go back to the mountain. If you don't go up the mountain at this time To fight a tiger, do we still wait for the tiger to grow wings like a tiger with more wings?"

"Yes, yes, at this time, we can take advantage of Liu Qi's demonic words to confuse the crowd, and General Zhang leads troops to attack, so as to avoid future troubles." The generals are easygoing.

Seeing that the generals were agitated, Cai Mao was also moved. Liu Qi's fate was high, and he would not be able to harm him many times in Xiangyang. Now that Xinye is a small city, if heavy troops are launched to kill him at this time, he will definitely kill him in one fell swoop. Later, I'm afraid Liu Qi has more than ten thousand soldiers. For Cai Mao in the seven counties of Jingxiang, the biggest enemy is not the threat from the northern princes, but the eldest son Liu Qi.

"Pang Gong, what do you think?" Cai Mao raised his hand to suppress the noisy remarks of the generals, and calmly asked Pang Ji for advice.

It was time for Pang Ji to advise Cai Mao. Pang Ji got up, bowed to Cai Mao, shook his head, and said, "General, everyone, plan to attack the army. It is the best policy to subdue the enemy without fighting."

When Pang Ji said it, the audience was silent, knowing that Pang Ji was about to come up with another trick.

Cai Mao nodded, with a friendly face: "Pang Gong, what's the trick?"

Pang Ji said: "There are four reasons for launching a crusade and attacking the city. First, I am afraid that the lord will blame me. After all, Liu Qi is the eldest son of the governor, and family affection is there. I may not agree to it; Young master, it seems worthless; third, as far as I know, Liu Qi's men seem to have ten thousand hungry soldiers, but they are also strong soldiers who can't die against thirty thousand Gongsun Zan, and they may not be able to win in a short while; four fears storm Xinye , Suspected to be an unknown teacher, killing each other, the gain outweighs the loss."

All the generals nodded their heads when they heard this, but Zhang Yun blushed and said anxiously: "Mr. Pang, why are you talking so much nonsense, if you have a good plan, just say it, so hurry to kill me."

Cai Mao immediately stopped Zhang Yun: "My nephew, don't be irritable, Mr. Pang has his own clever plan, and listen to Mr. Pang's words."

Pang Ji casually cast his eyes on Zhang Yun, thinking that Zhang Yun is a reckless man, because his uncle is from the Cai family in Xiangyang, he has no counselors in his eyes.

He cursed the reckless Zhang Yun in his heart, but Pang Ji would not show it on his face. He coughed twice, and slowly said the so-called clever plan: "I have always advocated the strategy of going to the army. Since attacking Liu Qi in Xinye might hurt both sides, it is better to use Liu Qi Spreading earthquake rumors, creating chaos, and demagoguery, in an attempt to support the army and cause chaos, and wrote to the lord assassin Liu Biao, that Liu Qi can be demoted and sent home, and Xinye sent another general to take over. The army can be said to kill two birds with one stone, I wonder if this plan is feasible?"

Before Cai Mao voted, Zhang Yun clapped his hands and applauded. He had already planned in his heart that if Liu Qi cut off his military power and became a commoner, the best candidate to take over the [-] troops in Xinye would naturally be Cai Mao's nephew Zhang Yun.

"A wonderful plan, a wonderful plan." All the generals present also nodded in praise of Pang Ji's wonderful plan.

Cai Mao's face showed joy, and he jumped up against the case: "Mr. Pang's words are justified. Young Master Liu Qi is not saying that he is embracing troops without authorization. This time, he made a false rumor about an earthquake. There must be fraud in it. It is time to write to the assassin Liu Biao. Liu Qi Let's see how long he can play after being dismissed."

"Bring a pen and paper." Cai Mao ordered, thinking that as long as Liu Qi could not be forced to die by soldiers, his brother-in-law Liu Biao would definitely agree to his memorial. After all, the actual military power in Xiangyang was still in Cai Mao's hands. The word, annoyed Cai Mao, certainly made Liu Biao unstable in the position of governor of Jingzhou.

Cai Mao followed Pang Ji's strategy of killing two birds with one stone, and according to Pang Ji's words, he quickly drafted a memorial to impeach Liu Qi and demand that he be dismissed and returned to the field.

Because Liu Biao went to Xinye to recruit troops to suppress bandits in the fall of the previous year, there was no face-to-face conflict between Cai Mao and Liu Qi, and it was quiet for half a year. Due to the many affairs in Jingzhou, he forgot about Liu Qi's foothold in Xiaoxinye, and it did not pass. Take it to heart.

When Cai Mao came to the governor's mansion in person, it happened that Liu Biao came to visit Jiangxia and Wuling counties to start businesses and run schools. When he was tired and tired, he was disturbed by Cai Mao, and he felt displeased. It has been a long time since I visited the governor's mansion alone, so Cai Mao's visit must not be a good thing.

Hearing that Cai Mao had something to invite Liu Biao, Liu Biao felt displeased and suddenly had an ominous premonition. Could it be that Cai Mao came here again for Liu Qi's matter?Not happy, but Liu Biao still didn't dare to neglect his powerful brother-in-law Cai Mao, so he forced himself to receive Cai Mao in the meeting hall of the mansion.

Seeing the tired look on his brother-in-law Liu Biao's face, Cai Mao knew that Liu Biao didn't have a good impression of him, so with a sneer on his face, he said straight-forward, "My lord, I'm going to come here for your son Liu Qi's business."
