Chapter 495 Return (1)

In the hot summer, outside Jinao City, the capital of Jeju, an important town in the south of Dongyi, in the middle of a large, but slightly chaotic and noisy camp, Bai Yousi returned to his wooden house with the letter he had just received, and then he

I sat down in front of the window and opened the latest letter from Zhang Xing with some anticipation.

“My wife thinks about her true love so much that she sees words like her face.

Before I follow up on my last letter, I have to tell you something else: Li Twelve Lang Qingchen is dead."

Putting aside the beginning that he was somewhat accustomed to, Bai Yousi was stunned after reading only one sentence, and hesitated for a moment before reading further.

"He had been injured for a long time, and it seemed that he relied on Cao Lin to induce the energy of the east capital to be slightly relieved, which is slightly similar to Qin Bao's injury mentioned in the previous letter. Therefore, after Cao Lin died and Qin Bao survived, Li Qingchen became seriously ill.

I don’t know whether it was because of leaving Dongdu during this battle. I asked him to help negotiate peace with Sima Zheng. When we met, I found that he was very angry, so I went to ask the leader of Qianjin who was in Huaibei. As a result, he died on the spot after admonishing Sima Zheng.

, no time for treatment.

Although this matter is a pity, after looking at the situation, it seems that he had already realized it, promoted peace talks, and died without regrets."

When Bai Yousi saw this, he sighed deeply, rarely showing a bit of sadness.

Moreover, since both the young and old Lin Duzhi of Wenwenfang in the Eastern Capital City died on the road, she knew that not one of her own swords could protect everyone in this troubled world. Later, after traveling around the world, she saw

After realizing the greatness and chaos of the world, he would choose to hide his sword temporarily and seek the sword to cut the world.

Logically speaking, she had already realized it since then.

But after all, they had known each other since they were young and had followed him for many years, so how could they not care? The only comfort was what Sanlang said in his letter, saying that Li Twelve Lang died without regrets.

"There is also the matter of peace negotiation. Thanks to Li Twelve Lang's efforts, the peace negotiation has been completed and the war has ended. We have captured some divisions of the Forbidden Army and are preparing to evacuate the Forbidden Army that has fought more with us and looted more places.

After killing them, they released them one by one, abandoned Hanoi, and recognized Huaiyang as the eastern capital in exchange for a three-year no-war, trade and material exchange agreement.

The army has begun to disband. The high-intensity fighting that lasted for seven or eight months has left the army exhausted and suffered heavy casualties. If it were not for a replenishment in the middle, all the progress in army construction would have been wasted. Therefore, the gang does not plan to make any weapons this year to consolidate the army.

The army rested and reorganized, and mainly took over the territory north of the Huaihe River. It also harassed Xue Changxiong without attacking, and responded with diplomacy, bribery, alienation, and harassment.

We will talk about the specific matters later, but Li Silang is as annoying as ever.

First of all, he still looked down upon my eleven kills and thought I was not strong enough. He even thought that all the prisoners of the Imperial Guard could be killed, and a few brave and elite soldiers from the eastern capital could be killed three by one to intimidate the Forbidden Army so that they would not dare to attack again in the future.

In the battle with us, Sima Zheng had no choice but to suffer a heavy loss even after he retreated. I just pretended to be confused and passed away.

Secondly, we mentioned that the troops have different combat strengths and should be properly integrated. Xu Dalang and I came up with an idea, which is to equip all infantry with a bow and three arrows, or if they are strong enough, they can bring two throwing spears.

, shoot it out, and then throw it out. I asked Li Si how it was, and Li Si actually said: "This method is excellent. It is something that a countryman like Xu Dalang can think of. It is also suitable for most battalion leaders, but it is not suitable for my troops."

Serious and elite.'"

Even though she was still a little sad just now, Bai Yousi couldn't help but raise the corners of her mouth slightly, showing a bitter smile or some kind of narrow-minded expression. She could imagine that the tone in which Li Ding said this made Zhang Xing and Zhang Xing very angry.

If you smoke, your mouth will definitely come back with a sarcastic look.

"In my previous letter, you asked me, firstly, how to win the hearts of the people? Secondly, how to organize the people so that they can take action... In my opinion, these two things are actually the same thing, that is how

Let people follow you... and follow you willingly."

Bai Yousi's expression became serious, and his eyes lingered on the words "Follow you" for a moment.

“To achieve this, there are only a few general points:

First, figure out what these people think and what you think; second, set appropriate goals based on what these people think and your own ideas; third, select some people to build a suitable organization with a suitable system;

Fourth, use this organization to execute your orders, convey your intentions, collect and control available resources (including human, material, time and direction), and then act toward your goals.

But these are too general discussions, and I can't come to you to clarify the situation on your side. I can only remind you of some key points.

The first step in establishing an organization is to select people, but the selection of people must be based on local conditions and cannot be limited by their origins, including when clarifying everyone's ideas... This limitation by origins does not only mean breaking through boundaries and covering a large area.

Open up the scope of selection and inquiry, and more importantly, avoid stereotypes.

Among Guan Long's nobles, there are geniuses like you, Sima Zheng, and Li Ding, and there are also trash like the Dou family's children. Even in the Sima family, the positions of the four key figures, Sima Changying, Sima Zheng, Sima Huada, and Sima Jinda

, abilities and conduct are also completely different.

Similarly, in the early days of the gang, the foundation of the gang was the strong and powerful Jishui. These people had a lot in common and had similar stances. However, as the gang's territory expanded and the gang grew, these people got rid of the gangsterism at the beginning.

After the confrontation between civil and military forces, Xu Shiying's genius, Wang Shuyong's pure forge ahead, Shan Tonghai's stubbornness and perseverance, and Niu Da's composure and ability were each revealed.

Therefore, it is important to treat everyone as a person, and only when summarizing can you summarize them.

In addition, if you are alone in Dongyi and need to temporarily establish an organization, you need to rely on tradition in the structure and foundation, or respect tradition, so that as many people as possible can quickly accept it...for example, religion,

Government, gangs, etc.; at the same time, at the top, you should be as concise, direct and firm as possible, so as to ensure that decisions are made quickly and decisively, and that you move resolutely towards your goals.

Also, be sure to remain soft on the outside and firm on the inside in terms of discipline and policy, and even be lenient on the outside and taboo on the new recruits... Allow those who follow you to have emergency and temporary expediency, and treat those who are willing to obey you.

Newcomers are generous and frank, but they must always remain vigilant and suspicious in their hearts. They must also quickly and decisively suppress people and groups that affect your true goals... This is not normal in normal times and will accumulate into big problems, but for you

In the current special circumstances, this is a helpless move.

Because your situation is too dangerous.

Of course, there is also the old topic. We have talked about it many times. I think that once you make a decision, you should speak out your thoughts frankly. What is just is just, what is bright is bright, and ordinary people insist on peace and harmony.

Expressing these will generate power, not to mention your cultivation and leadership status.

Finally, there is another point, that is, never imagine any political activities as beautiful. Real politics are cumbersome - they are pragmatic formalism, meetings like debate competitions, tireless explanations and explanations, and repetitions.

work forms and personnel activities.

Once you get tired of it, you will become like Li Shu or even Cao Che. They took the trouble at first, but finally gave up because of anxiety and ambition, and finally became what they are now."

Bai Yousi read these paragraphs several times and thought about them for a long time before continuing to read.

"Now that the business is done, let's talk about the casual things we talked about before. Did you ask me and the Wang mirror man to talk about the matter of attaining the supreme title? Of course I have said this, but in my opinion, there is obviously some falsehood in his words.

.That is to say, he does not tell lies, but some key information is missing and obscured.

What he means is that there is no problem in attaining the throne and the road is open. It seems to imply that no matter who it is, as long as he defeats Dongyi, completely unifies the world, and is the first person to achieve this, he can attain the throne.

Become a Supreme. This statement is actually in line with most people’s guesses, but after thinking about it, I always feel that it is a bit false.

We must know that the great cause of unifying the world actually started with Emperor Bai. After he left the Han River and entered the Central Plains that day, he became almost unstoppable. The achievement of unification was also close at hand. However, because of his great achievements, he only surrendered to the Wu clan and defeated the monsters at that time.

After becoming a powerful nation, wouldn't it seem hasty to quickly leave because of the human race's achievements in achieving hegemony?

There were rumors at that time that the Qing Emperor was afraid that the White Emperor would continue to defeat Dongyi, so he took the initiative to descend to earth, became a general under the White Emperor, and quickly defeated the monster country. It was said to be a mythical story, but it is interesting after all.

Later, after the world was broken for hundreds of years, the ancestor emperor's eastward expedition was blocked by Li Yue and Qian Yi, who threw a knife and died, which greatly promoted the unification of the world. At that time, there were rumors that Bai Emperor helped the ancestor emperor and Qing Qing

The emperor and the Red Emperor empress helped Li, and the money was almost the truth.

Later, after the "death" of the ancestor emperor, the generals fought for succession, and the four emperors once again made bets. The Tang Emperor started in Kansai and gradually annexed all areas within a few generations. In the early stage, only Nanling and Dongyi were left, and in the middle stage, the northern land was lost.

, and then crossed to the south, but in the end they built states and counties and eliminated most of the countries within the world... This was another huge contribution to the unification of the world, so the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty was said to have turned into a dragon and went to Bai Diye.

So now, whether I or anyone else has crossed this line and truly unified the entire world, can I really achieve the throne?

I don't think so.

Regarding the matter of attaining the supreme status, I actually have a bold conjecture, that is, the matter of attaining the throne requires both name and reality.

Take the White Emperor, for example, who is nominally the human race's dominator, but how can the achievement of the human race's domination be achieved by him alone? As early as the Black Emperor's time, hundreds of races have been transformed, and three races have established themselves. Therefore, the human race's domination is only his.

In fact, the person's achievements are scattered in unifying the world, establishing systems, revising laws, advancing forging technology, etc.

Similarly, Black Emperor’s mission to slay demons and monsters is good in both name and reality, but it also has the “real” meaning of the rise of human race, military development, and expansion of religion.

The Red Emperor Empress moved mountains and cultivated fields in both name and reality. She also segregated the demon clan, developed court art, and expanded the "reality" of religion.

As for the Qing Emperor, I think it's the other way around. Everyone thinks that he is the name and reality of education, but I think he should be the "reality" of education, expelling wild dragons as his "name", so he is chasing away wild dragons.

Those dragons suddenly ascended to the throne.

If it is true as I think, it means that "reality" comes from different sources, but it requires the accumulation of real achievements, and "name" is a specific thing formed by the development of heaven, earth, and people, and it has been there for a long time.

Just touch it first.

In other words, "reality" is like a full reservoir of water, and "name" is like a way to open one's mind. When "name" and "reality" are combined, it can pour out straight into the sea.

So now comes the question. They told me that the latest 'name' is to unify the world, but if I really want something, what is my 'reality'? If I don't get the 'reality' but take the 'name'

, and what will be the result? What about the other way around?”

Bai Yousi thought for a moment, and he had both enlightenment and doubt... What he realized was that Saburo's guess was really enlightening; what he doubted was, if so, as asked in the letter, what was Saburo's true identity?

Where is her Bai Sanniang's?

Looking at the letter again, there was not a single word at the end... This was not an omission, but an omission. Bai Yousi also knew what was omitted. They had discussed the return for a long time in the letter.

problem, but now the return itself is the biggest problem, not to mention that the Red Emperor Empress has not shown her hand yet, she does not even know where the other party wants her to go.

That's right, Zhang Xing and Bai Yousi have been discussing for a long time, and they both believe that just by looking at the wind, they know that at least the real dragon, more like the Supreme One, took action personally, and judging from the strange attitude of the Dongyi people, this time targeting Bai Yousi

Yousi's action should not be led by the master of Dongyi, Qingdi Ye, but more like the work of Qingdi Ye's ancient ally, the Red Emperor Empress.

Under such circumstances, Bai Yousi himself did not say whether he would return or where he was going, and Zhang Xing repeatedly repeated in the letter that he hoped that the other party would return as soon as possible, which seemed aggressive.

A clear and unmistakable expression of attitude is enough - in the first letter, Zhang Xing clearly wrote that he hoped Bai Yousi would come back to help him with his sword.

After thinking for a long time, Bai Yousi lowered his head and looked at something on his waist.

However, after taking a deep breath, she hesitated for a moment, but never picked up the thing. Instead, after pausing for a moment, she walked out of the simple wooden house and came outside.
To be continued...
