    Seeing Shi A trembling with fear, Li Zhi just realized that he had used too much force in his desperation. The pain caused Shi A to grimace and sweat break out on his forehead.  Immediately, Li Zhi let go of Shi'a's shoulders and grinned apologetically: "Don't be afraid. I didn't mean to blame you. I just asked you to say what you just said again. This is very important. That's all. There is no other meaning.  Shi A was deeply relieved when he heard this: "Oh! The general just said, 'Can your Majesty take Zhen Mi with you on this expedition? ' Commander, think about it, Miss Zhen Mi is a weak woman, although she can sing and dance well?"  , She is good at playing chess, calligraphy and painting, but she has no strength to tie a chicken, can she go to the battlefield? Besides, going to war is not just traveling around. What is she doing with a woman?" "Pah!" Wait for history.  After Ah Ba finished speaking, Li Zhi clapped his hands and said excitedly: "Yes, that's it! Military Advisor Kong Ming is really a god, he can come up with such a clever plan!" "What did you say, Commander? What clever plan?" Shi A  He asked with a confused expression.  Li Zhi said in surprise: "Do you really don't understand, or are you just pretending to be stupid? If you really don't understand, why did Military Advisor Kong Ming hand over the tips to you?" "Hehehehe!" Seeing Li Zhi's aggressive scrutiny, Shi  Ah smiled honestly and said: "The general is stupid. I really didn't understand it just now, but now that the commander said this, I seem to understand a little bit. Hehe." Li Zhi shook his head helplessly, and his heart was filled with excitement.  Feeling relieved, he patted Shi'a's shoulder gently and said in a gentle tone: "Let's go, we still have a lot to do tonight. We must be fully prepared and make sure nothing goes wrong." The shoulder was patted again.  Two times.  Old wounds add new pain, but Shi Ah smiles happily.  Because he knew that Li Zhi's pat on his shoulder was actually an apology, and he truly regarded him as his brother.  Immediately, the two of them quickly entered the city with a hundred personal guards, and followed Li Li straight to the county governor's mansion.  As he approached the gate of the mansion, Shi A turned over and dismounted and whispered to Li Zhi: "General, I thought about it again on the way back and felt that the troops are more elite than too numerous. We must select elite troops and strong generals for this expedition, especially  We need to bring more powerful generals with us. In this way, even if we were trapped in Yecheng a few years ago, we can escort your majesty out of the siege and ensure that your majesty is safe. " "Well, what do you think of me?  We all agree." Li Zhi nodded happily and said as he walked: "After entering the mansion, we will discuss it in detail with several generals, and then we will go separate ways." Shi A nodded in agreement and followed Li step by step.  Zhi strode into the door behind him.  As the sunshine that bakes the earth gradually becomes milder, the day's work is coming to an end.  In the fields outside the west gate of Yangzhai City, many farmers walked out of the fields with their backs bent.  He looked down at the crops in the field and walked carefully to the ridge of the field, holding a hoe in his hand. He looked back at the results of his day's work, with a simple and satisfied smile on his face.  Immediately.  Farmers in groups of three or five carried hoes and chatted about household matters while walking, slowly walking along the official road along the field ridges.  Not far ahead is the city gate.  Along the way, they rarely looked up at the sky.  Feeling the heat of the sun on their bodies, they knew that it would be dark in half an hour. They chatted about household matters but did not forget to look down at the road.  For fear of accidentally stepping on the crops.  Although the crops on the roadside do not belong to your own family, the crops are like the children of farmers. Whose crops do you step on without feeling distressed?  The setting sun sent them into the city gate, and gradually disappeared into the crowd of people in the city.  These farmers are all residents of Yangzhai City. The current residents living in the city do not mean that they are all "office workers with an iron rice bowl." Nearly 70% of the people in the city are farmers. Although they live in the city  , but the family's livelihood lies outside the city.  For them, the city is a barrier to protect their own safety. It is safe and lively, and it also has everything they need for daily life, which is very convenient.  What is different from previous years is that in the past, farmers farmed or rented land to wealthy families, most of whom were tenants of official families or wealthy families; but since Yingchuan County came under the jurisdiction of the Jin State, all the fields under the names of wealthy families  The land was cleared or transferred to the government, which then distributed the land to tenants.  From then on, the tenants turned into farmers who owned land. In addition to paying 30% of the tax revenue every year, they no longer had to pay rent to their employers. They were truly the masters of the family. They bent over when working in the fields.  But after walking out of the ground, they can straighten their backs and feel confident.  Where does this confidence come from?  It is naturally dug out of the ground.  In the past, they farmed for their bosses, and they worked so hard all year long that they still couldn't have enough to eat. But now that they have their own land and don't have much tax, they are naturally very motivated. The whole family can work hard and have enough to eat for a year.  Drink enough, and from now on, as long as you are not lazy, you will have enough food and clothing.  Over the past few years, the lives of the people in Yangzhai City have been prosperous, and their lives are prosperous and enjoyable.  This is because their backs are so tired after a day's work.It can be seen from the pain, but the sincere smile.  This phenomenon is not limited to Yangzhai City, it is the same throughout Yingchuan County and even Yuzhou. People have their own fields, and they all pay 30% of the tax, and the remaining harvest is their own.  This is not only true for Yuzhou, but also for the counties in Xuzhou and Yangzhou in the north of the Yangtze River adjacent to Yuzhou. All states and counties under the jurisdiction of the Jin State are also like this.  In the Western Jin Dynasty, the privileges once enjoyed by the official clans and powerful gentry were compressed to the extreme, and the land and wealth they once owned shrank significantly.  The land, houses and property that originally belonged to their names, as well as the servants, maids and servants in the mansion, were all registered. Those who exceeded the regulations were removed and enforced, and the laws were strict.  In short: those who follow will prosper, those who go against will perish.  It is precisely because of the strict laws of the Western Jin Dynasty that the Xiliang Army's process of conquering the states and counties in the Central Plains was extremely long and almost difficult. The process of occupying Yuzhou, Xuzhou, Yangzhou and other states and counties can be said to be paved with blood.  But after the labor pains, when the people personally felt the benefits of the law and benefited one after another, the initial bloody killing was nothing more than labor pains. The new law won the strong support of the working people, thus reestablishing a new order, and all steps were taken.  Get on track.  "Compared to tens of millions of ordinary people, the so-called officials and powerful gentry are at best a small group of people. They are like a wave in the ocean, unable to make big waves or stop the great trend.  Facing the general trend, all they can do is go with the flow, or go against the current and disappear.  Night falls slowly, the four gates of Yangzhai City have been closed, and thousands of lights decorate this ancient city.  It is said to be a famous city through the ages because it was the first ancient capital in Chinese history, the capital of the Xia Dynasty.  After Dayu's death, his son Qi ascended the throne. Qi held a grand banquet in Juntai, Yangzhai, the capital, to entertain many clan and tribe leaders. From then on, the Xia Dynasty, the first dynasty in Chinese history, was officially established.  The history of China began from this, and the "Xia" in the word "Huaxia" refers to the Xia Dynasty.  Yu passed down his family to the whole world.  Yingchuan County is named after Yingshui. Since the establishment of the county in the 17th year of Qin Yingzheng's reign, it has been the most populous and prosperous place besides the capital.  There are many talents in Yingchuan, not to mention Shaodian, Xu You, Dayu, Xia Qi, Taikang, Zhongkang, Shaokang and others in ancient times, as well as Lu Buwei, Zhang Liang and Chao Cuo in modern times. At present, there is Guo Jia  , Xu Shu, Sima Hui, Xun Yu, Xun You and many other famous officials in the world.  It is precisely because Yingchuan County has a large population and is very prosperous, and because this place is in the hinterland of the Central Plains, guarding the main transportation routes to Sili in the north, Yuzhou in the south, Nanyang in the west, and Yanzhou in the east, extending in all directions, so Li Li sent good ministers and generals to garrison Yingchuan.  Sichuan.  At present, the governor of Yuzhou is Xun You, and the governor of Yuzhou is Zhou Yu. There are more than 100,000 troops gathered in Yuzhou.  Among them, there are two main battle camps, namely: Shuofeng Camp under Zhou Yu's tent and Wuwei Camp led by Zhang Liao. In addition to the main battle camp, the county soldiers stationed in Yuzhou are the soldiers and horses of Yuan Shu's tent in the past.  Judging from the current situation, neither Liu Biao of the Southern Han Dynasty nor Cao Cao of the Northern Wei Dynasty dared to openly attack Yuzhou. The target of their joint attack was limited to Sili.  Therefore, despite the raging wars in various counties in Sili, there is a peaceful scene in Yuzhou. The people live and work in peace and contentment, business travelers come and go in an endless stream, the officials govern the country in a clear and orderly manner, and all industries are prosperous.  However, no one would have expected that Yangzhai City, which is currently peaceful and peaceful, is surrounded by powerful enemies. The clouds of war have enveloped this ancient city, and an unprecedented storm is quietly brewing.  No one knows when it will come, maybe the day after tomorrow, or tomorrow, or tonight.  Under the cover of night, in the fields where farmers were working half an hour ago, a dark shadow was moving quickly, approaching the city gate at a speed visible to the naked eye.  The crops that the farmers cherished were trampled mercilessly by this black shadow. When the black shadow moved to both sides of the official road, the originally green crops had turned into grassland; through the faint light of the starry sky, looking from a distance, this crop field looked like  A green carpet was spread from the southwest end of the field to outside the west gate, and the black shadow quickly advanced on the green carpet, and finally lurked in the dark ditch next to the official road, motionless.  "Attack the city gate in half an hour." Under the shade of the official road two hundred steps away from the city gate, Xu Shu, wearing armor, held the tree trunk with one hand and pressed the sword on his waist with one hand, looking at the city coldly.  He stood there for a long time, his eyes flashing with murderous intent, and without looking back, he whispered instructions to Wei Yan who was standing behind him.  Wei Yan nodded happily and asked softly: "Why don't we attack the south gate directly, but instead take a detour and sneak attack on the west gate?"
