"How can wild vegetables have flavor without false blending?" [Siming Poetry·Volume 4]

"The so-called 'righteousness between monarch and minister' is actually greater than 'morality'." The emperor sneered and said disdainfully: "The root of all this is that the local shepherds and guards secretly conquered each other and formed masters and subordinates, and they only had eyes for

This small profit does not take the great interests of the world into consideration at all. Since the reform of Hedong, there has not been a single private official in the king's capital, but he has been able to carry out government orders. All the counties and counties are dedicated to the court, and they have done their best to deliver grain and grass. It can be seen that this system

The disadvantages must be eradicated in the future."

"Wei Wei." Jia Xu agreed with his hand and brought the topic back: "The disadvantages of conquest have been known to the world since the Sang Dynasty. If the Yuan family had not had several generations of disciples and old officials accompanying them, how could they be in the current situation of separation? Your Majesty

This is indeed what we should do if we want to get rid of the old evils, but it is not an urgent priority at this time. Now we still have to focus on the war."

"Jushou had to see with his own eyes that Yuan Shao was not able to do anything before he could make up his mind. The court did not have to wait for him. Considering that there were many powerful people in Jizhou, he did not have to be a member of the Ju family." At this time, the emperor treated people like Jushou like this.

If you can accept them, accept them. If you can't, you don't have to indulge their noble temperament. At this juncture, you still treat the court as a backup and refuse to give up your old master. How can there be such a thing in the world?

"Is Fan Chou supposed to be in Puyang at this time?" the emperor suddenly asked.

Jia Xu, who was in charge of military intelligence, nodded at this time and said: "Several military reports have just arrived from Dongwuping. One of them is from Fan Chou, saying that he has captured Puyang and killed Han Xun, the captain appointed by Yuan Shao.

.”

"Send an order to Zhang Liao, Fazheng and others, ordering them to give up Liyang, Neihuang, Fanyang and other places to Fan Chou for attack. Jiang Qi is calm and good at guarding, and Zhang Liao cannot waste too much time under him.

The military affairs are all left to Fan Chou." The emperor thought for a moment, reached for the warm tea bowl, and drank it in a big gulp: "Zhang Liao will gather his troops and horses in one place and attack Ye City with all his strength."

When the emperor was stationed in Luoyang, Fazheng, the assistant minister of Huangmen, was transferred to Hanoi in front of Zhang Liao's army. Both of them used their troops in an eclectic way and cooperated with each other, gaining many advantages in Wei County. If it were not for Zhang Liao's small number of soldiers, the strategy at that time would have been different.

The point is not here yet, Jiang Qi may have been unable to withstand it for a long time.

Now that Xuzhou has successfully defeated the two Yuan's attempts to join forces, the emperor has restrained Yuan Shao's main force and led it to the southeast of Jizhou far away from Wei County. It is difficult to respond, so it is time for Zhang Liao to take advantage of the opportunity to enter Jizhou.

Xun You and Jia Xu had no objections to this matter. Fan Chou fought bravely and had a strong style common to Xiliang people. He was also a long-standing general and was highly expected by Dong Cheng. The emperor transferred him from the army and left the main battlefield.

, they are resentful about this, now they might as well find something for him to do.

Zhuge Liang observed his words and took the initiative to refill a bowl of hot tea for the emperor. When he came back, he saw that Xun You had drunk half of his tea, so he refilled it. After doing all this, he turned around and returned to the corner, while

Put the teapot on the charcoal stove to warm, and listen attentively.

He performed his duties as a servant with peace of mind, and his cautious style made the emperor a little more cautious. If Sima Yi were here, he would probably take advantage of the time to refill tea and skip a few steps when walking back. This way

You can get closer to the monarch, ministers and others, and you can hear your words more clearly.

"Speaking of this, does Liu Yu have any report?" The emperor took back his rambling thoughts and asked following Zhang Liao's words.

Xun You evaded the situation and said: "Since Liu Gong withdrew from Changshan, he has been stationed at Zhending. He and Zhang Yan and others repelled Lu Kuang, and Lu Xiang and other generals invaded many times."

Lu Kuang and Lu Kuang were not capable generals. At this moment, Yuan Shao's elite troops were gathered together. The two men's troops were neither large nor elite. Liu Yu was waiting for work, but they were just "repulsing". The emperor did not comment on this and said, "Oh."

He made a sound, and then said: "At the beginning, I ordered him to be the governor of You, and he hoped that the military could rely on him because of his great reputation. Since the Eastern Expedition, when he first entered Hebei, he had Changshan and Zhongshan guarding the order, and he responded with great force. Now he is worshiped as Jizhou

Mu, grant him the power of making recommendations and appointing people with integrity, and order him to send envoys to attract powerful people from Hebei and Youzhou, and to abide by the order. Anyone who is willing to surrender anyway will be at his command."

"This..." Xun You hesitated for a moment and thought for the emperor: "Is such a weight too much?"

"If we can defeat the enemy without fighting, wouldn't it be a good idea?" The emperor said with a disapproving smile: "There are also the Wuhuan, Wuwan and other tribes who are entrenched in Youzhou. They are friendly with Liu Gong. If they can surrender, they will surrender."

I don't hesitate to grant him a title. As long as there is chaos in Jizhou, how can Yuan Shao still sit still? If the morale of his army is in chaos, whether he leaves or stays, it will be an opportunity for us to defeat him in one fell swoop."

Let Liu Yu use the power given by the court to recruit and surrender the powerful and Hu people in Hebei without hesitation. Although this change is for the purpose of fighting and disrupting Yuan Shao's rear, but delving deeper, it is not only

At this point, Xun You thought of the last time Xu Huang reported to Tai Shi Ci to ask for orders. The emperor changed his tune without thinking and asked Tai Shi Ci to replace Tian Chou's originally scheduled task and participate in the Xuzhou war. It can be seen that the emperor does not publicly express his attitude towards Gongsun Zan now.

It secretly expresses another attitude.

"The general who protected the Huns, Zhang Liao, changed his position to the general Dang Kou. He led the troops in Hanoi and had full authority to attack Wei County and Zhao State." The emperor said, and in just a few words, he completely marginalized Liu Yu's army.

, and highlighted Zhang Liao’s status.

The emperor always had an accurate grasp of the general direction of his strategy, not to mention that this was the plan they had predicted in advance, but they just changed the executor from Liu Yu to Zhang Liao.

Jia Xu was the one who had the least objection to this. He leaned forward imitating the emperor's posture and looked straight at the black teacup with red patterns in front of him: "Since we have made a decision here, what about Xuzhou?"

"Didn't Cao Cao fight very well? The battle between Qingxu and Qingxu is all decided by him." The emperor sighed imperceptibly. Between Cao and Liu, it is true that one cannot use the strengths of one to outweigh the weaknesses of the other. Perhaps Liu Bei can do something else.

It was put to use in the right place: "Liu Bei's merits and demerits were balanced, and he was relieved of his post as General Pingdong. He still used the power of Xuzhou governor to supply Cao Cao with food and grass."

Doing this is equivalent to Cao Cao being in charge of Qing and Xu. Not only Liu Bei, who competes with him for the limelight, but also the emperor's confidant Tai Shici obeys orders. His trust and power can be said to be the highest among the surrendered princes.

He was second to none. But the emperor still had reservations about his trust in him. When Tian Chou, who was stationed at the rear, led his troops into Xu, in order to ensure the safety of his rear, the emperor then transferred Zhu Jun to Pei.

Although Zhu Jun did not have many troops at this time, with his power, he could take care of the military operations of Cao Cao, Liu Bei, and even Xu Huang at the same time.

"Yuan Shu has become a dead tiger. At this time, it is even more important to work hard. Liu Biao has recently contributed Wenpin and other troops. The court should not reject his wishes. He ordered them not to come to Hebei to help in the war, but to be controlled by Xu Huang's command nearby. If Liu Biao still has troops in the future,
