"This is not a problem. The news of the kidnapped by ours has been strictly blocked by us. Not many people in the outside world know it. Since the battle, Miss Ouyang has been wearing a facial scarf and has not revealed her true face before everyone. Moreover, Cao Cao also sent someone to get involved in this incident. As long as we put these two things together and put them all on Cao Cao's head, it is said that the woman who kidnapped the lord was pretended by the black-hearted scholar among the four evil spirits of Heluo. The reason why the four evil spirits of Heluo disguised themselves as kidnapped the lord was due to Cao Cao's instructing.
Cao Cao had a ill-intentioned plot and wanted to murder our lord to remove the obstacles of Cao Cao's usurpation of the throne. However, our lord's true god descended to earth, with the protection of the body of a hundred spirits, and all the four evil spirits of Heluo were buried. This made Cao Cao's conspiracy shatter. In this way, the eyes of the people will naturally be attracted to Cao Cao. No one will notice whether Miss Ouyang has been buried. The majesty of the lord and our laws will have no adverse effects." Guo Jia and Liu Ming cooperated for many years and had long understood Liu Ming's intentions, so they immediately spoke to help Liu Ming relieve the siege.
Liu Ming was a little dizzy when Guo Jia heard this. What is the true god descending to earth and protecting his body? Isn’t this just nonsense?
However, Liu Ming fully understood what Guo Jia meant, and Liu Ming also admired it very much. This idea is indeed good, which can protect Lan'er, improve his prestige, and damage Cao Cao's reputation. It is really a good plan to kill three birds with one stone.
However, just as Liu Ming was proudly trying to make a decision, someone below whispered: "It's not appropriate, it's not appropriate."
Liu Ming looked at it with his eyes, but it turned out that Xun Yu was opposing it. Liu Ming asked, "Wen Ruo. How is this inappropriate?"
Xun Yu, who strives to be safe in his work, heard Liu Ming's question and quickly said, "Lord, although the method of filial piety is good, it can indeed eliminate the destruction of the lord's prestige and the laws of our Youzhou. However, in this way, the people will inevitably be angry. Cao Cao will inevitably become our mortal enemy. If we cannot attack Cao Cao at that time, then the lord's prestige will be affected. Our morale will also plummet. Therefore, as long as this strategy is implemented, then our attack on Cao Cao will be inevitable. However, not to mention the alliance between Cao Cao and Dong Zhuo, it will be affected by all
In fact, our troops and horses are all tired and need to be cultivated. Moreover, the lord has built eight cities one after another, expanding the territorial area by 800 miles. This is also an unplanned project. In addition, the city construction and road construction we originally planned, our national treasury is empty, and in a short time, it will definitely not be able to deal with large-scale operations. In this way, the two conflicts and the plan of filial piety is a bit inappropriate. Therefore, we must not lose the big picture because of the small. This matter should be handled in a low-key manner. We must not involve Cao Cao, which will cause an inevitable war. I hope the lord will observe clearly."
Liu Ming took a breath of cold air and didn't expect things to be so troublesome.
However, Guo Jia smiled and said, "Brother Wen Ruo is honest. When it comes to Cao Cao, it may trigger a war. How could I not expect it? It is just that the public anger caused this will help us improve the enthusiasm of the people to build. At the same time, it will also make our people feel more urgency and oppression in war, so that our people will not forget the fact that it is still a chaotic world because of the comfort of the past few years. As for our relationship with Cao Cao, we are now hostile to Cao Cao. More or less, there is no big relationship. Moreover, we don't need too much action to attack Cao Cao. Cao Cao and the others will not know how the actual military force in Youzhou will be. As long as we order the troops stationed in Ganning, Guandu, to lead the navy and move along the Yellow River, and to harass Cao Cao's hinterland with a small group of elite troops.
At the same time, Zhang Liao, who was training new recruits in Jizhou, trained his troops on the bank of the Yellow River and made an attacking posture. This would make Cao Cao extremely worried and actively prepare for war without daring to act rashly. At this time, let Liu Tong, who was left in the North Sea, send troops to attack Zhong Yu, drive Zhong Yu out of Qingzhou, and occupy the entire territory of Qingzhou. Compared with the strength of Liu Tong and Zhong Yu in Qingzhou, this should not be a problem. In order to prevent us, Cao Cao's main force will not be able to do anything.
When Jizhou sent troops to retaliate, Cao Cao would never dare to divide his troops to support Zhongyu, so we could easily take Qingzhou. In this way, we can take down a state of land, which is enough to explain to our people. At that time, the lord stopped his troops for the sake of the overall situation and to avoid the emperor being persecuted by Cao Cao. Who can blame us? I am afraid that even Cao Cao would only applaud him and dare not try to seize Qingzhou again."
Guo Jia's words made everyone feel energetic. Guo Jia is indeed brave and likes to take odd steps. He actually wants to use the publicity of this matter to attract Cao Cao's main force with virtual soldiers. He uses Liu Tong's local troops to seize the entire territory of Qingzhou. This is too extreme.
However, everyone carefully calculated and felt that the success rate of this strategy was more than 80%. There was nothing in the world that was absolute, and 50% of the confidence was enough to take risks. Now this strategy was 80% sure. Liu Ming immediately made the decision. Everyone agreed with this.
After this incident, Yang Jun remembered something and asked Liu Ming: "Lord, Miss Ouyang has a grudge with General Zilong. If Miss Ouyang still wants to seek revenge on General Zilong after healed, what should I do about this matter?"
This is the problem that Liu Ming had the most headache. In the past, it was easy to say that Zhao Yun was his favorite general, and Ouyang Lan was just a kidnapper who kidnapped him. Outside there, there was a very good distinction between closeness and alienation. But now, Ouyang Lan has saved herself and took Ouyang Lan's face towel himself, and Ouyang Lan also deliberately followed him. Now that the palms and backs of his hands are flesh, this is so troublesome.
Jia Xu saw Liu Ming's embarrassment, so he said quietly: "The grudge between Miss Ouyang and General Zhao is not determined. This matter needs to be resolved until General Zhao comes back and asks you clearly. Moreover, Miss Ouyang is not a person who is unreasonable. If the lord talks about this matter, it should be mediated. Besides, we can also invite Miss Ouyang's master to resolve this grudge. There will always be ways to resolve it. Even if this grudge cannot be resolved, time can still dilute all grudges. As long as the days are long, the grudges can also be diluted. At that time, we will divide Miss Ouyang and General Zhao farther away, so that they can't meet one part of the world, and naturally they will be safe."
When Liu Ming heard this, he nodded and said, "Yes, yes, yes. That's right." Liu Ming could delay it for one day at this time, just one day.
There is no better way for the others, and Ouyang Lan is not weak in ability, and there is also a background from the Tianshan lineage behind him, so he can only do this first.
When Liu Ming saw that the matter was almost done, he just lit it and let everyone go. But Yang Jun suddenly remembered something again and said to Liu Ming: "Lord, my grandson once inferred that the place where the lord was trapped was almost exactly the same as where the lord was actually trapped. I decided that my grandson could not have such skills. Someone must have told me. I would like to think that the person who gave my grandson was a fellow kidnapper to get involved in our Youzhou. So I questioned my incompetent grandson strictly, but that stupid boy had some loyalty and never told the truth. Now I am locked up at home. But now it seems that the person who gave my grandson is an ignorant person. If so, that person's ability is really great. The lord must not miss it."
Liu Ming was surprised. Is there anyone who can determine where he got people by just speculation? This is Sherlock Holmes. Liu Ming hurriedly said, "Jiye has grown up his skills. He can actually meet such a master. It's great. Mr. Yang, when you look back, you must ask Jiye to invite this person to me."
Yang Jun smiled wryly and said, "Lord. You also know that my grandson is a person who values friendship. I made a wrong judgment before. My grandson thought I wanted to capture his friend and would not tell me the truth. I have no choice. I can't really beat my grandson to death. I'm just such a grandson."
Guo Jia laughed and said, "Old Yang, Jiye did not make any mistakes. Why did you beat him? Isn't it just someone who gave him advice? That's easy to deal with. You let Jiye go back and told him that the Taiwei had already rescued him as he said. Moreover, all the kidnappers were sentenced, and none of them missed the net. His friend was absolutely not suspicious. Then, you tell Jiye that after the lord was rescued, you should reward me on merit. In order to make Jiye make such a great contribution. You did not mention Jiye's friend, now he has made a great contribution, and the Taiwei will soon give him a heavy reward. In this way, with Jiye's character, he may not be able to help but ask his lord to ask for his friend for merit. Why are you worried about this?"
When Yang Jun thought about this, this was indeed the case. So everyone dispersed with a smile.
Everyone left. Liu Ming returned to the back house to rest.
Zhang Xiu'er, Cai Yan and others were waiting for Liu Ming. After seeing the ceremony, Liu Ming asked the other concubines to go back and rest. Only Zhang Xiu'er and Cai Yan were left to accompany him to chat and rest.
At this time, Cai Yan didn't know about Liu Ming's kidnapping. He arranged for the maid to prepare bath water and drinks for Liu Ming.
Liu Ming took a shower, relaxed for a while, and had dinner and chatted with Zhang Xiuer and Cai Yan.
Cai Yan gently poured wine and dish for Liu Ming, and asked Liu Ming how his life was outside the border. However, Zhang Xiuer's face was not very good.
Liu Ming thought that he was going to be another woman and caused Zhang Xiu'er to be unhappy. So Liu Ming apologized to Zhang Xiu'er and said, "Xiu'er, what's wrong? What's upset? Is it Lan'er's business? Didn't you agree? If you are not happy, I will return Lan'er's marriage." Liu Ming knew that what Zhang Xiu'er said would never change. He said this on purpose. He wanted to express his loyalty to Zhang Xiu'er.
Who is Lan'er? Cai Yan immediately drew a big question mark in his heart. His little ears immediately became ridged.
However, Zhang Xiu'er's purpose was not at all. Zhang Xiu'er said to Liu Ming in a serious manner: "Husband. Heroes naturally have many women who love them. The more women you have, the better my vision is. Moreover, Lan'er is also a strange woman. I am extremely happy to have such a woman become sisters."
Speaking of this, Zhang Xiu'er glanced at Cai Yan, who was extremely focused, and said, "Sister Yan'er, you go and prepare a bedroom for your husband first. We will serve you and rest later. At that time, let's ask our husband to explain to Sister Lan'er."
Cai Yan was reluctant to leave, and left shyly.
Liu Ming knew that Zhang Xiuer was talking about something that was not to let the innocent Cai Yan worry about it.
As expected, as soon as Cai Yan left, Zhang Xiu'er said to Liu Ming: "Husband, what is a little unhappy about me is that my husband is responsible for saving the people. What an important thing is that, but my husband is so unwilling to care about himself and put himself in a dangerous place."
Liu Ming smiled and said with a pity: "Xiu'er, isn't this an emergency? No one would have thought. There are so many people who protect me, and there will be no danger. At most, I will pay attention in the future." Liu Ming did not dare to mention Dian Wei, afraid that Zhang Xiu'er would take his anger on Dian Wei again.
Zhang Xiu'er shook her head and said, "Husband, don't be careless. Although General Dian is loyal to you and is a powerful general who is defeated by ten thousand men. After all, he is still a powerful general on the battlefield, and he still lacks some problems to deal with these experts in the martial arts world. Moreover, if your husband is running outside, he will not be able to rely on General Dian to take care of him. Today, I let my husband take Lan'er. With Lan'er's ability to support Wang Yue for a long time, she will protect her husband. Moreover, I have been idle in Youzhou for a long time and have nothing to do except educate those little guys. I will also follow my husband and protect my husband in the future."
When Liu Ming heard this, he was a little stupid. Liu Ming's education was about protecting women and letting women go away from the war. However, now Zhang Xiu'er wants to protect herself, and Liu Ming couldn't help but feel a little depressed. Are she so weak?
However, this matter is not true. Zhang Xiuer and Ouyang Lan have kung fu, which is really higher than Liu Ming. Moreover, even if it is placed in the whole world, it is a master of all. It is a waste to just put it at home.
However, Liu Ming was reluctant to let Zhang Xiuer and Ouyang Lan follow him to suffer in the future. So Liu Ming patiently advised: "Xiuer, every time I go out, I will fight. There are all men in the military. If you follow them, it will be inconvenient. You should stay at home. There are so many people in the army to protect me, which is enough. Isn't it because there have been nothing in the past few years?"
Zhang Xiu'er insisted: "Husband. Lan'er and I are children of the world. There is no inconvenience. We can turn into men's clothing to protect our husband. Follow us around us. If we go to fight and march outside, we can also rest in our husband's tent. There will be no inconvenience."
Liu Ming had no idea and had to agree temporarily. He was ready to find a way to convince Zhang Xiuer later.
After drinking and eating, Liu Ming and Zhang Xiu'er returned to the bedroom to rest with Cai Yan.
On the bed, Liu Ming explained Ouyang Lan’s affairs to Cai Yan again. However, in Liu Ming’s explanation, Ouyang Lan changed from a kidnapper to a hero who rescued Liu Ming from being rescued. With Zhang Xiuer’s help next to him, Cai Yan also had a good impression of Ouyang Lan. She was preparing to visit the injured Ouyang Lan tomorrow.
Of course, Liu Ming did not let Yang Yan go. Yang Yan's affairs would definitely be his own scapegoat. So Liu Ming brought the topic to Yang Yan and talked about Yang Yan's love for Zhao Yun, which made Cai Yan and Zhang Xiu'er even more interested. They were all ready to match Zhao Yun and Yang Yan together.
Gradually, the three of them fell asleep while chatting.
The next day, it was dawn. Liu Ming had just gotten up. He was about to call his subordinates to gather together to hear about the problems that need to be solved recently. However, before Liu Ming could take action, the ministers who received the news of Liu Ming's return yesterday gathered automatically.
As a result, when Liu Mingsheng set up the lobby, Hula suddenly, a bunch of people emerged and all rushed to hand over their books. They all said, "Master Taiwei, my subordinates have important things to report."
Liu Ming was a little stunned: As for? These institutions of his own have been operating well all the time. They have always had themselves or not, so there is no difference. Moreover, his intelligence department has not responded to the fact that something big happened in Youzhou recently. Why are these people so enthusiastic?
When Yang Jun saw that it was a bit distorted, he coughed fiercely.
Only then did Liu Ming's civil and military ministers feel a little out of control, so they all restrained themselves and retreated.
Liu Ming was a little funny when he saw it. He thought to himself: This is almost the same, you can get it one by one. Anyway, I can't escape. Moreover, Liu Ming also thought maliciously: It seems that there are urgent matters, but who will be the most anxious? Who will be the first to be the first to be? If he doesn't speak, he should know in half a quarter of an hour.
However, to Liu Ming's surprise, even half a quarter of an hour was useless, and Mi Zhu, who had always been steady, jumped out first. Moreover, Mi Zhu also glanced at the ministers around him, meaning that if anyone dared to talk to me, I would be anxious. Then Mi Zhu said to Liu Ming: "My lord, my subordinates are not knowledgeable, and they are unsatisfied with the high expectations of lords. They are unable to hold this position now. Please allow me to abdicate and give up the wise. Let me return to my hometown."
When Liu Ming heard this, he was even more shocked. What big thing happened? Why did his Finance Minister want to resign?
