Lu Dynasty

Chapter 603
Depressed Cao knew that Liu Bei had retreated and was very unwilling. He immediately sent an envoy to Liu Bei to write a letter, accusing Liu Bei of taking advantage of the benefits and not doing anything.When Liu Bei received Cao's letter, he naturally refused to admit it. He immediately wrote back a letter to Cao, telling Cao what happened to him in detail.When Cao received Liu Bei's reply, it was incredible to see Liu Bei being beaten like this. He didn't understand why the juniors in our army were so powerful!You know, everyone hopes that their children will become a dragon, and everyone hopes that their younger generations will grow up. Seeing that the juniors in our army are so capable, he is as envious as Liu Bei.However, envy is envy, and Cao also saw that I was still alive from Liu Bei's defeat.Although Cao never thought that I was dead, he still took chances and hoped that I would really be killed by Yuan Shao!Now, Cao is convinced that I am still alive, because only I can come up with such a strange strategy, and he regrets Yuan Shao's failure to kill me!Cao didn't embarrass Liu Bei anymore, he knew that no matter how hard he tried, Liu Bei would not send troops anymore, because Liu Bei had no more soldiers to send out!

Liu Bei quickly returned to Xinye, and he was a little heartbroken seeing the defeated soldiers under his command.The first thing Liu Bei did when he returned to Xinye was to recruit troops, because he had food but no soldiers!The [-] shi of grain and grass Cao gave, except for what was burned by our army, was not consumed at all, and he was defeated by our army!However, what Liu Bei wants most is counsellors, top strategists!But how can there be so many top strategists in the world?Even if there is, it will not be Liu Bei's turn, unless he looks for his counselor like Zhuge Liang!But in the troubled times of the Three Kingdoms, how many Zhuge Liang are there?
Speaking of top strategists, one of them is wandering in our territory right now.Pang Tong took Huang Yueying to wander here and there, and took Guan Ping's pass to start a tour in our territory!I don't know if I don't swim, but I was taken aback when I visited. They thought that only places close to Luoyang or where there are defenders will have a peaceful political environment and the people will be rich.But they didn't expect that they didn't see a single injustice in Sili!There may be violations of law and discipline, and there may be petty theft, but court officials enforce the law impartially. Even if there is an unjust case, it is not the responsibility of the officials, but their ability is not enough!Of course, if there is an unjust case, Pang Tong and Huang Yueying will use their wisdom to help the officials find out the truth, and the court officials will also humbly ask for advice, which makes them feel very comfortable!Originally doing good deeds is a happy thing, and being able to do good deeds under the respect of others makes me even happier!Pang Tong didn't expect that there is a place where people are not judged by their appearance. Maybe the officials of Sili would have an expression of disgust for Pang Tong, but no one discriminated against him because of his appearance!

What surprised Pang Tong the most was that my subordinate never minded someone pointing out the omissions of the imperial court!Although the ancients knew that the mouth of the people is better than that of Fangchuan, but few rulers can hear the needs of the people.Even the founding emperor sometimes couldn't listen to other people's opinions.The so-called prosperous times in history trapped the people like cattle and sheep.The only one who is more enlightened is Li Shimin. He may be the only emperor in Chinese history who did not use his words to punish crimes.

Pang Tong also often saw notice boards at the entrance of the government office, which explained some issues in laws and policies, and there were also special personnel to explain, answering all questions of the people!At this time, Pang Tong was a little startled!Since the Qin Dynasty, the government has been ignoring the people, resulting in not many wise people among the people, and not many people are even literate. However, since I came to power, I opened schools to educate children, and the government took the initiative to explain policies to the people. This is obviously to enlighten the wisdom of the people!My bold behavior of subverting the tradition has given the aristocratic family no advantage under my command, and no one will divide my rights.But if the wisdom of the people continues to be enlightened, the common people will stop worshiping those in power one day. Pang Tong wants to know what kind of road I will take for my descendants at that time!
The more I traveled, the more curious Huang Yueying and Pang Tong became about me.Pang Tong was curious about my ideas that were out of tune with the times, while Huang Yueying was curious about why I had so many whimsical ideas. It turned out that she had taken a fancy to our military waterwheels and other agricultural tools!Huang Yueying thinks she is also very smart, and her ability to make Liannu is the best proof.But she doesn't like Liannu. In Huang Yueying's view, Liannu is a weapon and a murder weapon. For a girl, what she yearns for is a peaceful and joyful life!Huang Yueying and Pang Tong, who had been in Sili for a few months, decided not to play anymore and came directly to Luoyang!
Luoyang and Chang'an are the foundation of our army, and they were built a long time ago.After several years of development, Luoyang has become more prosperous. Compared with the so-called prosperity in the Han Dynasty, it is even worse!After Huang Yueying and Pang Tong entered Luoyang, their eyes were blurred!It's like two country bumpkins who came to the city for the first time, wanting to see everything and ask about everything!Although they behaved rudely, no one laughed at them. Luoyang people are used to their situation, and there are many enthusiastic people explaining to them!Pang Tong and Huang Yueying came to the inner city under the guidance of passers-by, but the inner city is the residence of important officials of our army, and the guards dare not let anyone enter casually.The helpless Pang Tong had no choice but to say that he came to join me, but the guards still blocked the way.Pang Tong almost broke his mouth, but he still failed to enter the inner city.Seeing that it was getting late, Pang Tong wanted to ask Huang Yueying to stay in the outer city for one night.In the end, it was Huang Yueying who took out the pass to see if it would work, so the guards let her into the inner city.The guards also complained to them, why didn't they take out the family pass earlier, Huang Yueying and Pang were in a cold sweat!Pang Tong always complained in his heart that Guan Ping didn't make it clear when he gave him the pass, which made him lose face!
In fact, there is nothing in the inner city of Luoyang, just a high-end residential area for officials' families.Now Pang Tong and Huang Yueying have only two choices, the first is to live in Xu Shu's house, and the second is to live in Jimin Restaurant!Pang Tong thought about it and decided to live in a restaurant!He felt that letting me know about their relationship with Xu Shu now would definitely affect my judgment.Pang Tong still wants to see, which one is more worthy of his service, compared with Liu Bei!As for Huang Yueying, she wished she could live in a restaurant!If you lived in Xu Shu's house, it would be hard to be interrogated by Xu's mother!You know, every parent will ask questions about their children's friends, and even interrogate friends of the opposite sex like a prisoner. Huang Yueying doesn't want to be misunderstood by Xu's mother!
