Although Liu Ba was just an Order of Anyi, he was very familiar with the situation in Hedong.
General Zhang Ji of the Cavalry, Duan Wei of the former, and Yang Ding of the latter, were all from Xiliang. They were loyal to the emperor for longer and promoted education in the army for longer, which was more suitable for going east than Han Sui.
Especially Zhang Ji and Duan Wei, one in Nanyang and the other in Shangdang, are both front lines bordering Kanto and can send troops at any time.
The more favorable condition is that they all have no ties with Han Sui and are unwilling to watch Han Sui come from behind and become the commander of the Eastern Expedition, but they have to obey Han Sui's command.
Even Guo Si's former subordinates stationed in Guanzhong, Xie Guang and Xia Yu would rather go north to reinforce Xun You than cooperate with Han Sui's battle.
If the generals could be encouraged to compete with Han Sui for command of the Eastern Expedition, Han Sui had no obvious chance of winning. In order to get this opportunity to make meritorious service, the generals would try their best to win their support and make more efforts to restrain the soldiers.
More effort.
After hearing Liu Ba's opinion, Xun Yu did not rush to express his opinion, but looked at Liu Ye.
Liu Ye said: "Liu Ling, I am forgiving me, this is probably a temporary solution. I came from Nanyang and knew very well that although the soldiers under General Zhang Ji of the Cavalry were educated, they were by no means a kind and righteous army. In the camp
Fortunately, once they go to war, whether their generals can restrain their subordinates, can't expect too high. Being able to read and write does not mean that they are humble gentlemen and can understand the court's love for the people."
"What should I do in your opinion?" Liu Ba asked back.
Liu Ye turned to look at Xun Yu. "Xun Yin, I have something to do. Can you ask Xun Yin to solve my doubts?"
"But it's okay."
"Although the emperor is young, he has experienced many battles and is very talented in military use. The army goes east to pacify the world. Why does the emperor not take action on his own and let Han Sui become a general? Is it not decided in Liangzhou, and the emperor needs to take charge of himself, or is it another
Is there a reason?”
Liu Ba also looked at Xun Yu, and he also had the same doubts.
Xun Yu raised his lips slightly, and then he calmed down again. "Zi Yang, Zi Chu, I'm going to tell you, I also think this matter is unsolvable. There may be profound meanings in it, but I just can't figure out the truth for a while. Since you are here, you might as well
Analyze and analyze together.”
Liu Ba smiled. "Xun Yin might as well talk about your thoughts first."
Xun Yu looked at Liu Ba and smiled slightly. "Don't worry, am I talking?" He picked up the wine glass and greeted Liu Ye. "Before I figured out the emperor's intentions, I have something to ask you first."
"you say."
"Where are you coming from? Why are you traveling west?"
Liu Ye sighed softly and drank the wine in the cup. "After I killed Zheng Bao, I depended on Liu Xun, the prefect of Lujiang. I wanted to assist him in serving the court, but God was willing to mess with others, but I missed the most important opportunity.
The last time Yuan Shao went south, I happened to return home to visit friends. Liu Xun surrendered to Yuan, and I had no time to stop him. When I rushed back to Shu County, Shucheng had already changed hands and was occupied by Yan Liang, so I had to live in seclusion for the time being."
"Zhou Jiaming Muyuzhou, have you never been to serve?"
"Although Zhou Jiamou is highly respected, he is not a person who uses martial arts." Liu Ye smiled bitterly and said, "When I arrived in Nanyang, I heard that he had withdrawn his troops."
"What about Cao Yanzhou?"
"Although Cao Yanzhou is good at fighting, he is too weak. He is also killed by the border. It is difficult to become a great man for slaughtering Xuzhou."
"Where is Liu Xuzhou?"
"I haven't seen him, but I heard that he was born in a rude and acted in a mess and was less capable than to go. I'm afraid I can't hold on in Xuzhou for too long." Liu Ye pondered for a moment and said, "Although he calls himself a royal family, he has been reluctant for so long.
I am not willing to turn around and come to the court directly.”
Xun Yu had a slight head. "How is Sun Ce?"
"A master of the moment should compete with Cao Yanzhou, slightly better than Liu Xuzhou."
"Can the three of them work together to be Yuan Shao?"
Liu Ye was stunned for a moment, thought about it carefully, but still shook his head. "If there are famous officials and important generals in the middle, there may be a chance. If you do your own thing, you are afraid that you will be suspicious of each other and it will be difficult to achieve success. So I am curious why the emperor is not He did his own way, but let Han Sui lead the troops."
Xun Yu showed a meaningful smile. "Do you think Liu Bei and Sun Ce will listen to the emperor's edict?"
Liu Ye was stunned, stared at Xun Yu for a while, and his eyes trembled twice. "So, the emperor is..."
"As you said, although the emperor was young, he had the talent for military use. The time to pacify the world was not yet here, so he should understand this. Therefore, Han Sui entered Guanzhong and should only prepare for war, not going east. He really went east to go east At that time, wait for the emperor to enter the pass.”
Liu Ba couldn't help but say, "Then can Han Sui wait?"
"I can't wait, I have to wait." Xun Yu pointed at the case with his fingers, and said Youyou: "This is your responsibility."
Liu Ba and Liu Ye looked at each other and smiled knowingly.
"Ziyang, I hope you can arrive at Xingye as soon as possible and make suggestions to the emperor. If you can be valued by the emperor and be the prefect of Jingzhao, Han Sui will have an extra set of noose on his feet, which is difficult to show his foot."
Liu Ye nodded without hesitation. "Dare not to obey orders."
Liu Ba smiled and said, "It seems that I will have to wait for a while before I can get promoted."
"Although you cannot be promoted, your duties will be increased. Not only do merchants in Hedong need to be managed, but also merchants in Guanzhong need to be managed. I will advise the emperor and transfer you to Shaofu or Shuheng Duwei, and manage your finances for the court. Han So although we cannot go east, we can do business for merchants first."
Liu Ba laughed. "Okay, let me empty their wallet first and take back the tax they owed to the court."
Liu Ye frowned slightly. "Are you... afraid that others will say you are competing for profit with the people?"
Liu Ba exchanged a look with Xun Yu and said in unison: "It is not a fight for profit with the people, but a fight for profit for the people."
Liu Ye was stunned. "Why do you two say this?"
Liu Ba said: "The Master said that those who have a country and a family should not worry about the lack of worries but the inequality, and those who are poor and the uneasy. There is no reason why some people are in the fields, but others have no place to stand. There is no reason why the emperor and ministers eat. If you don’t wrap your belly, you will be irritated by the mouth."
"You guys..." Liu Ye looked at Xun Yu, then Liu Ba, and said sincerely: "Xun Yin, Liu Ling, please forgive me for being frank. Even the Master, he was unable to go to the Three Huans, but was the Three Huans. Go. Are you enemies of the Kanto clan, and aren’t you afraid of being criticized by thousands of people?”
Xun Yu sighed. "Zi Yang, knowing to stop will not be humiliated, and being content will not be defeated. The king and his ministers will be at peace with each other. The great clan of Guandong sat on the embarrassment of the emperor. He neither paid tribute nor served the king. He was rude first. We were trying our best to save them. As for the matter, we were trying our best to save them. I can't control them if they appreciate it or not."
He looked at Liu Ye and said quietly: "One day, the emperor will lead 100,000 and Liang Jing to ride eastward, and both jade and stones are burned. Is it the result you expect? Those people are ignorant of the benefits in front of them and ignore the future, so Ziyang will not be able to do so. So short-sighted?”
Liu Ye's eyes shrank slightly. "I heard that Situ was in Guanzhong. So, after the emperor pacified the world, he would also be in Guandong?"
Xun Yu smiled bitterly. "We don't want to go that step, so we want to try other methods first." He sighed. "Zi Yang, the emperor has given me the important task of rejuvenating the kingly way. I don't want to disappoint him, nor can I let him go.
He was disappointed. If the king's way is not prosperous, he can only be domineering."
