Liu Xie was still a little relieved to learn that Yuan Shao no longer acted unscrupulously with the edict.
This shows that his efforts have been rewarded, and Yuan Shao felt pressured and no longer felt that the world was within reach.
With Yuan Shao like this, the possibility of others looking to the court is naturally greater. In the near future, not only will warriors like Zhao Yun come to join the army, but more and more scholars will also be.
Of course, you cannot expect too much from the latter.
Before Wang Mang usurped the throne, he was worshipped by scholars all over the world, just like a saint reincarnated. Once he found out that Wang Mang could not meet their requirements, these people immediately turned their faces.
Except for the very few people who are willing to sacrifice for their ideals, most people are still driven by interests when studying. Once the interests fail, the ideals are worthless.
It is understandable that people pursue profits, but they think about benefits in their hearts, but they shout ideals in their mouths and regard themselves as justice, which is hypocritical.
Speaking of hypocrites, Liu Xie immediately thought of Yuan Shu, a real villain who is rare in this era.
He remembered that Yuan Shu became emperor in the second year of Jian'an. Strictly speaking, it was not the emperor, but the Zhong family.
Zhong is Xing Er, and the Zhong family calls themselves the second child. There have been many different opinions on who the eldest is.
But it is a fact that Yuan Shu had no longer returned to the court in a mess.
Now he first killed Li Jue in Huayin, and then defeated the Xianbei in the northern border. Do Yuan Shu dare to be disregarded by the imperial court and regard himself as the Zhong family?
"How did Yuan Shu react?"
"It's unknown." Xun You laughed, with a little disdain. "Yuan Shu's playboy is not a problem. The only ones who can fight the Sun family are the father and son under his command. Now that Sun Ce has accepted the court's title, he has lost his strong support and is attacked from both sides.
, it is impossible to do anything.”
Liu Xie thought for a while and said, "Is it possible for Yuan Shu to surrender?"
Yang Xiu's heart moved, and he secretly looked at Liu Xie, but he stopped talking.
Xun You's eyes flashed slightly. "Your Majesty wants Yuan Shu to fight with Yuan Shao?"
Liu Xie's mouth twitched, and his eyebrows frowned slightly. "The three Dukes of the Yuan family of four generations were also important officials of the court. The difficulty of Meng Dongzhuo is also tragic. If Yuan Shu can be a minister and inherit the bloodline of the Yuan family, it would be fine."
He paused and said, "When it comes to legitimate and illegitimate, Yuan Shu is more suitable than Yuan Shao after all."
Xun You held back his laughter.
This is not about sympathizing with the Yuan family, it is clearly about pursuing fire. Everyone in the world knows that Yuan Shu has only the legitimate son, but he attaches great importance to this and is resentful of the return of the world to Yuan Shao.
With the support of the court, he tried his best to slap Yuan Shao in the face?
I have to say that this is a good way to differentiate the Yuan family and intensify the conflict.
"I think it's feasible." Xun You said.
This is indeed a good idea, and there is no reason to refuse.
What's more, Yuan Shu's nephew Yang Xiu was still there, and there was no reason not to give Hongnong Yang a face.
Jia Xu also expressed his approval. This method is beneficial without any expense, but it can gain a lot of time for the court.
Seeing Jia Xu, Xun You and both nodded, Yang Xiu then stood up and spoke. "The Master said: "The country will be destroyed, and the people of the world will be promoted and promoted to the best. Your Majesty will forget his mistakes and remember his merits. He is truly a wise monarch.
The kindness of the people of Kanto will be returned to their hearts."
Liu Xie smiled. "Since you all agree, then we will recover an edict and order Chen Gong to go to Shouchun. Dezu, you might as well send a message to Yuan Shu to let me know my wishes."
The two paths of public and private must be made known that if this matter fails, it will not be that the court will kill them all, but that Yuan Shao will interfere.
Liu Xie cannot guarantee whether Chen Gong went to Jizhou to dismiss the imperial edict. However, Liu Xie was still mentally prepared for the revenge.
It was like Chen Gong's hands reached Yuan Shao's ears.
Will Yuan Shao take the lead and kill Yuan Shu directly?
In short, it is impossible for the two brothers to make up. If Yuan Shao wants to unify Guandong, he must first defeat Yuan Shu.
Yang Xiu bowed to accept the order.
Xun You and Jia Xu inadvertently exchanged glances, and their mood was a little complicated.
The emperor's method is getting more and more clever. In the near future, they may not need to give advice.
After discussing Yuan Shao's affairs, Liu Xie immediately talked about Cao Cao's affairs.
Yuan Shao is about to go south to Yanzhou. Cao Cao's strength is limited. He is probably not Yuan Shao's opponent. While paying his respects to the court, he requests reinforcements. No matter from any aspect, the court cannot remain indifferent. He sits on Yuan Shao to defeat Cao Cao, take all Yanzhou, and target Luoyang.
.
After discussing it, Xun You suggested meeting Cao Cao's request and giving him weapons and war horses so that he could have the strength to fight Yuan Shao.
The only one in the imperial court is there.
Considering that Cao Cao actually has only Yingchuan and Chenliu counties, Liu Xie decided to wait until Cao Ang and others arrived at the court, and then appointed Xiahou Dun or Xiahou Yuan as the imperial court, and included Henan in Cao Cao's war zone, so that Cao Cao could be even bigger.
space.
If Cao Cao persists for one more day, Yuan Shao's pace of annexation of Guandong will be one step slower.
Just like Zang Hong defended Dongwuyang and made Yuan Shao unable to move forward.
In short, Yuan Shao must not live a comfortable life and go smoothly.
Finally, Liu Xie decided to give Xuzhou Governor Liu Bei an edict to conquer him into the court.
If Liu Bei was willing to come, everyone would be happy. If Liu Bei refused to come, he would do his best.
With Liu Bei's strength, it is difficult for him to make a difference in Xuzhou. He is just a puppet of the Xuzhou clan. Liu Bei couldn't stop the Xuzhou clan if he wanted to surrender to Yuan Shao.
——
After the talk of the main business, Liu Xie kept a meal and finally invited Jia Xu to take a walk to eat, but he didn't even bring Cai Yan, Pei Jun and others.
When Jia Xu saw this situation, he knew that the emperor had something extraordinary to say.
The two walked a hundred steps along the river bank, said some irrelevant gossip, and adjusted the atmosphere to a relaxed state.
"Sir, I have two ideas now. I don't know which one is better. Can sir help me?"
"How dare I, I am willing to do my best to present my foolish opinions."
Liu Xie raised his arm and pointed to the east. "One is to go east, enter Youzhou, patrol Dai County, Shanggu, and Jizhou." He turned and pointed to the west. "One is to go east, inspect the four counties, patrol
Yizhou.”
Jia Xu pondered for a moment. "With the selfishness of his ministers, it is naturally better to the west. Liangzhou's abandonment has been a hundred years of struggle. It is precisely because Emperor Shizu established the capital of Luoyang and he did not pay enough attention to Liangzhou. His Majesty came in person and could boost the morale of the people in Liangzhou.
.According to public opinion, it would be better to go east. Yuan Shao did not return to Yuzhou, but entered Jizhou, which was exactly what Shizu relied on Youzhou to rush cavalry, and he had to guard against it."
"I heard that there are thunder cavalry in all the ten counties of Youzhou, but Yuyang and Shanggu are the best. Why is that?"
Jia Xu was stunned for a moment and thought for a while. "Maybe it is because the two counties have farming and pastoralism. If there is farming and no pastoralism, then it is rich but not strong. If there is farming and pastoralism, it is not rich. If there is farming and pastoralism, only then can it be done.
There are strong soldiers and rich families, which can support some people to study and practice military arts. After all, talent like Huo Qubing is not common, and most people can learn it before they can learn it."
"Just like Sanming, Liangzhou?"
Jia Xu nodded and sighed again. "Liangzhou and Youzhou are incomparable. After all, as early as the Shang and Zhou dynasties, the Zhuo County area of Youzhou was a place of clothing. Liangzhou was not invaded until Xiaowu.
The Central Plains civilization. Before this, even the Qin people made their fortunes in Longyou were just barbarians.”
"Even since the time of Xiaowu, Liangzhou has been in China for three hundred years." Liu Xie turned around and looked at Jia Xu. "Don't you want to hear the sound of the children of the four counties reading in your lifetime?"
Jia Xu stared at Liu Xie for a moment, bowed and choked with sobs.
"I am very dedicated to serving the scholars and commoners of the four counties in Hexi, and I respectfully ask Your Majesty to visit you."
