Chapter 350 Luxurious Lineup
Ouyang Shuo returned to the Hou's Mansion, ready to meet a special "guest", who was Zhao Kuo who was under house arrest in the Hou's Mansion. The place where Zhao Kuo was placed under house arrest was a side courtyard of the Hou Mansion, which was inaccessible and desolate.
When Ouyang Shuo entered, Zhao Kuo was drinking alone in the courtyard, with a scruffy beard and unkempt appearance.
Having just experienced the defeat in the Battle of Lianzhou, Zhao Kuo was sluggish and decadent, and he was no longer as heroic and high-spirited as before.
A lofty ambition, completely fell to the bottom.
Seeing Ouyang Shuo, Zhao Kuo walked over staggeringly with a flagon in his hand, his eyes were hazy with drunkenness, and his voice was hoarse: "Marquis of Lianzhou?"
Now Zhao Kuo is broken.
"It's the Marquis!"
Ouyang Shuo didn't care, he sat down on the stone bench in the courtyard and looked at Zhao Kuo indifferently.
"You, what are you here for? Shame, humiliate me? Or are you going to drag me out and cut me off, cut me off, cut me off~~~" Zhao Kuo stammered, venting his dissatisfaction and resentment.
Zhao Kuo has long been bearish on life and death.
In other words, his life is worse than death now.
Ouyang Shuo shook his head and said, "Ma Fuzi wants to give up on himself, and this Marquis will not stop him. However, if Ma Fujun knows that his son is so decadent and incompetent, how would he feel?"
Ma Fujun is the father of Zhao Kuo, Zhao She, a famous general in the Warring States Period, and the ancestor of the Ma family.
Ouyang Shuo noticed that when he heard the words "Ma Fujun", Zhao Kuo unconsciously tightened his hand holding the jug. Obviously, the status of his father Zhao She in Zhao Kuo's heart is extraordinary.
After the Battle of Changping, Zhao She also appeared in the wilderness, but never went to Danyang County to look for Zhao Kuo. Needless to say, it was obvious that Zhao She didn't agree with Zhao Kuo yet, and he didn't want father and son to meet each other.
And this is undoubtedly the pain in Zhao Kuo's heart, he is too eager to get his father's approval.
Zhao Kuo's face was pale, and he said in a shy voice, "What can I do? I'll just die."
"Of course Ma Fuzi can die at once." Ouyang Shuo said in a calm tone, "It's just that there are thousands of ways to die, which one would Ma Fuzi choose, committing suicide in fear of crime or dying of drunkenness?"
"You!" Zhao Kuo blushed and said loudly, "Scholars can be killed, but not humiliated!"
Ouyang Shuo shook his head and said, "You are wrong. It is not the Marquis who is humiliating you, but you, Ma Fuzi. Your words and deeds are embarrassing your parents and taking your own humiliation."
Sometimes serious illnesses call for strong medicines.
Zhao Kuo's heart was ashamed, and Ouyang Shuo could only use words to provoke him and change his fighting spirit. Otherwise, what's the use of a decadent Zhao Kuo?
"Heh!" Zhao Kuo stood on the spot blankly, raised the jug, and took a big gulp of wine, the overflowing wine soaked his clothes, Zhao Kuo didn't care, he was really using wine to drown his sorrows.
After a long time, Zhao Kuo raised his head, looked at Ouyang Shuo, and said, "What can a defeated general do?"
In the words, there is endless bitterness and loneliness.
Ouyang Shuo was silent, Zhao Kuo was also unlucky, the opponent in the first battle chose such a peerless general as Bai Qi, and ended up ruined in the end.
Because of the Battle of Changping, he was forever set on the pillar of shame in history.
"There is a post now that will bring the General back to life."
Ouyang Shuo threw out the bait.
"Oh? Hehe, Marquis Lianzhou wants to recruit me?"
Zhao Kuo's eyes were full of disbelief.
"The defeat of the general lies in the fact that he did not find the right position. The general has rich theoretical knowledge, is familiar with military books, and is good at making plans behind the scenes, instead of directly commanding thousands of troops. Lianzhou Marquis has a military affairs office, which provides an overview of the military affairs of the territory. Military affairs The agency has a combat department, which is responsible for combat planning and combat command support."
Ouyang Shuo briefly explained the structure of the Hou Mansion.
When Zhao Kuo heard this, a gleam of light flashed in his eyes. He was still a little bit dissatisfied with Ouyang Shuo's evaluation. He still felt that he could command thousands of troops on the battlefield.
Seeing Zhao Kuo's hesitation, Ouyang Shuo dropped another bomb and said, "The Military Affairs Department and the commanding army are not under each other's control, but they also echo each other and restrict each other."
Ouyang Shuo stopped talking, presumably, with Zhao Kuo's wisdom, he could understand what he said. To say that Zhao Kuo's mortal enemy is Bai Qi.
The relationship between the Military Affairs Administration and General Bai Qi is one of cooperation and rivalry.
When Zhao Kuo heard this, he was really interested, and a gleam flashed in his eyes.
Seeing that Ouyang Shuo was silent, Zhao Kuo knew that Marquis of Lianzhou was waiting for him to express his opinion.
Zhao Kuo let out a long sigh, threw down the jug, smashed it to pieces, straightened his clothes, bowed to Ouyang Shuo, and said, "The defeated general Zhao Kuo, pay homage to your lord!"
Ouyang Shuo received the gift, helped Zhao Kuo up, and said, "General, wash up and get ready to participate in the evening exercise! During the festive season, I miss my relatives a lot. If Ma Fu knows that the general has regained his strength, he will feel relieved."
When Zhao Kuo heard this, his voice choked up.
Seeing this, Ouyang Shuo quietly left.
He asked Zisu to prepare new clothes for Zhao Kuo, and then arranged for two maids to wait on Zhao Kuo to freshen up.
After leaving the courtyard where Zhao Kuo was imprisoned, Ouyang Shuo checked Zhao Kuo's attributes through the lord panel.
[Name]: Zhao Kuo (King Class)
[Dynasty]: Warring States (Zhao)
[Identity]: General of Shanhai City
[Occupation]: Senior General
[Loyalty]: 70 points
[Commander]: 75 [Force]: 45 [Intelligence]: 75 [Politics]: 58
[Specialty]: Familiar with military books (increase military planning efficiency by 25%)
[Comment]: Zhao Kuo learned the art of war since he was young, and talked about military affairs. In fact, he can only read his father's biography. Although his father's learning is not perfect, he doesn't know how to change.
Gaia doesn't think highly of Zhao Kuo, but it is more than enough to lead the Operations Division of the Military Affairs Department. With Zhao Kuo's assistance, Du Ruhui's burden can be lightened a little.
After checking Zhao Kuo's attributes, Ouyang Shuo remembered that he hadn't checked the attributes of Sun Bin and Bian Que yet.
【Name】: Sun Bin (God level)
[Dynasty]: Warring States (Qi)
[Identity]: General of Shanhai City
[Occupation]: Super General
[Loyalty]: 80 points
[Commander]: 99 [Force]: 50 [Intelligence]: 88 [Politics]: 55
[Specialty]: Fighting must seek to destroy: increase the morale of the troops by 40%; Tianji horse racing: increase the movement speed of the troops by 30%; encircle Wei and rescue Zhao: increase the defense of the troops by 20%; predict the enemy's mutation: increase the lethality of the troops by 25%.
[Cultivation method]: "Sun Bin Boxing Classic"
[Equipment]: None
[Classics]: "Sun Bin's Art of War"
[Comment]: Sun Tzu knows soldiers, but turns them into robbers and hatred. Bin's mouth is full of injustice, and he sits on his luck. Rescue Zhao Cunhan and strengthen the army. Cut all kinds of ugly, Fucha Maling. The merit is to engrave the tripod and the Yi, and the book is to seal the rattan. The tao of the dragon and leopard, why should he be punished?
Sun Bin is indeed better than the commander-in-chief, and the commander-in-chief value is a little higher than Bai Qi.
To Ouyang Shuo's surprise, Sun Bin even created his own boxing method. No wonder he can still reach 50 points of force even though his legs are disabled. He is indeed a strange person.
After Bai Qi, there is another general in the territory.
[Name]: Bian Que (God level)
【Dynasty】: Warring States Period
[Title]: The first of the five ancient Chinese medical experts
[Identity]: Resident of Shanhai City
[Occupation]: God-level physician
[Loyalty]: 70 points
[Specialty]: Careful budgeting (increase the territory trade profit by 1%)
[Classics]: "Nan Jing", "Bian Que Internal Classic", "Bian Que External Classic"
[Comment]: Bian Que talks about medicine, and he is the master of prescriptions. Keeping the number is shrewd, and the future generations will follow the order, and it can't be easy.
Bian Que can be regarded as the originator of traditional Chinese medicine. He created the diagnostic method of "look, smell, ask and feel", which laid the foundation for the clinical diagnosis and treatment of traditional Chinese medicine.
The five great medical scientists in ancient China are Bian Que, the ancestor of medicine, Zhang Zhongjing, the sage of medicine, Hua Tuo, the king of medicine, Sun Simiao, the king of medicine, and Li Shizhen, the medical scientist.
Among the five people, both Zhang Zhongjing and Sun Simiao were canonized and included in the ranks of the twenty-four saints. Among them, Sun Simiao was conferred the title of Medicine Sage, Zhang Zhongjing was conferred the title of Medicine Sage, and the other three were also god-level historical figures.
The five are also representatives and mainstays of physicians among a hundred schools of thought.
Therefore, Bian Que, the ancestor of medicine, settled in Shanhai City, which was not enough to meet the conditions for doctors to settle in. At least one of Zhang Zhongjing and Sun Simiao must choose to settle in Shanhai City.
***********
After lunch, it's time for New Year's Eve.
The important ministers and generals from all over the country also rushed to Shanhai City one after another.
Among the civil servants, there are Cui Shousi, the prefect of Tianfeng Prefecture, Mulanyue, the prefect of Mulan Prefecture, Zhou Haichen, the prefect of Duanren Prefecture, and Gu Xiuwen, the prefect of Beihai City.
Of course, there is also Wei Ran, the prefect of Shanhai Prefecture.
In addition to attending the banquet, the magistrates also took advantage of this time to rush back to the Hou's mansion to report on their duties. Especially Zhou Haichen, who took office in a hurry, and hadn't had a deep talk with Ouyang Shuo before taking office.
Among the civil servants, apart from the four magistrates and one city guard, there was another one who was invited by the Marquis of Lianzhou, and he was Shen Zhui, magistrate of Yongye County.
This signal is intriguing.
Those with a keen sense of smell already guessed that Shen Zhui would be reused in the next year.
Among the generals were Shi Wansui, head of the first division, Luo Shixin, head of the second division, Elai, head of the third division, and Mu Guiying, head of the fourth division.
In addition, two other people were invited, namely Dai Qin and Lin Yi.
Of course, Bai Qi, Du Ruhui, Sun Bin, Fan Lihua and Zhao Kuo were all invited.
If it is said that Dai Qin was invited, there is still a sign. Because when Du Ruhui persuaded Dai Qin to surrender, he had already made a promise that Dai Qin would be reused.
Then Lin Yi's arrival is similar to that of Shen Zhui among the civil servants.
Obviously, Lin Yi will also be reused.
All the generals gathered in Shanhai City, not just for the banquet.
Years ago, in accordance with Ouyang Shuo's instructions, the Military Affairs Administration reorganized three divisions from the prisoners of war.
With the return of the monarch and marquis, obviously, the candidates for the three division heads will be finalized in the next year.
Therefore, the military and political conference after the year has not yet started, and has gradually become the focus of attention of all parties.
The two young people, Shen Zhui and Lin Yi, were naturally the focus of attention.
If you add the specially invited Jiang Shang and Sun Wu, as well as the three giants of the civil service system, the lineup of Shanhai City's New Year's Eve dinner can be called epic and luxurious.
