Liu Xie was optimistic in Zhiping and was preparing to review and lecture on martial arts.
This is not a simple review, it has unique political significance.
In the fifth year of Zhongping and four years after the suppression of the Yellow Turbans, the world was not at peace. Instead, there were more and more rumors, making people panic.
Those who are hopeful say that there will be a large number of soldiers in the capital, and there will be blood in the two palaces.
General He Jin therefore made a suggestion and suggested that Emperor Xiaoling send out troops from all directions, preaching martial arts in peace and optimism, and using power to disgust all directions.
Subsequent development of the situation proved that this was nonsense and useless.
Thinking more deeply, this can even be said to be a conspiracy, a conspiracy that has not been launched. Judging from various clues, this recruitment of people from all over the world is likely to be caused by Yuan Shao and others behind the scenes, preparing to go to Beijing.
A preview of the coup.
Later, Dong Zhuo led his troops to Beijing, which was a smaller version of this review.
After Dong Zhuo achieved the results of the coup, the Shandong prefectures and counties raised troops to attack Dong, which was the official version.
Emperor Xiaoling was kept in the dark, and He Jin was also played on by others.
After repeatedly reading this history and deliberately consulting some of the parties involved, Liu Xie was deeply worried about this review and decided to repeat it.
This time, he will be the chief director and hold the destiny and military power in his own hands.
The edict has been issued in Chang'an, and now we are waiting for the responses from all parties to see who will come and who will not.
Liu Xie planned it and Han Sui was responsible for the specific execution.
The first thing to do was to restore the old buildings, mainly to build altars.
There are two altars.
A large altar with a twelve-layered five-color canopy, ten feet high, was built as the residence of the emperor.
A small altar is built in the northeast of the big altar with a nine-layer canopy, nine feet high. It was the residence of the general He Jin in the past and is now the residence of Han Sui, the general of the Fu army.
Han Sui was pleased with this honor, but also felt a little uneasy.
General He Jin was not a good role model. He did not like the reputation of a butcher, nor was he willing to accept the consequences of his death.
But the emperor had an edict, and he couldn't refuse it.
He doesn't want such an honor, but many people do.
He could only comfort himself by saying that the emperor was not a filial emperor, and he was not the emperor.
In addition to Han Sui's headquarters and the left general Yang Feng's tribe who came east with the emperor, the first to arrive were Hanoi County soldiers, with three thousand infantry and cavalry, led by Dong Fang, the brother of Dong Zhao, the prefect of Hedong. The chief clerk was Sima Yi, a native of Wen County.
.
Liu Xie had heard of Sima Yi's name for a long time. When Guan Yu first attacked Jizhou and rescued Liu Bei, it was Sima Yi who assisted Guan Yu. In later military reports, Guan Yu greatly praised Sima Yi, which left a deep impression on Liu Xie
impression.
On the one hand, it is rare for Guan Yu to praise others, and on the other hand, it is a bit unreasonable for Guan Yu to praise Sima Yi.
But this also illustrates a saying from the side, it is gold and it will always shine. Although Sima Yi was not as strong as later history books said, there is no doubt that he is one of the top heroes of this era.
Liu Xie met with Dong Fang and also met with Sima Yi.
Although he had some prejudices against Sima Yi, at the first sight of Sima Yi, he knew why Guan Yu praised Sima Yi so much.
I have to say that Sima Yi is really good-looking. He is more than eight feet tall, has good facial features, and a dignified appearance. He does not look sinister at all. Instead, he is sunny and full of vitality. Even standing next to Zhuge Liang, he is not inferior.
He wore a close-fitting, narrow-sleeved samurai uniform and carried a long sword, looking very heroic.
At a time when appearance is extremely important, such people make a very good first impression. If they have some talents, they will easily be appreciated by those in power, and it will be much easier to get ahead.
Liu Xie asked about the situation in Hanoi.
Dong Fan answered, and Sima Yi added, not stealing Dong Fan's limelight, but perfectly explaining Dong Fan's shortcomings, which made Liu Xie very satisfied.
Dong Zhao's achievements in Hanoi were not as remarkable as Xun Yu's in Hedong, but overall they were remarkable and met Liu Xie's expectations. As a frontline adjacent to Jizhou, Hanoi's mission was not economic development. It is to stabilize and block possible attacks from the direction of Jizhou.
If not, how could Hedong be able to produce with peace of mind.
Now that the situation has changed, Yuan Shao has proclaimed himself a vassal, and he has reduced his defensive line and retreated to Yecheng. Hanoi's role as a frontline has disappeared, and the focus must shift to economic construction.
"What do Lord Dong think of Du Tian?" Liu Xie routinely asked.
This was regarded as a government issue. Dong Fang did not answer and looked at Sima Yi.
Sima Yi was not in a hurry, raised his hands and said: "Mr. Dong Fu believes that it is the general trend to cultivate the fields and benefit the people. However, the court is not in a hurry for success, and conducts trials according to local conditions. This is a mature move. Mr. Dong Fu has issued an edict and cooperated with The magistrates of various counties discussed and decided to select forests, Dangyin, and Chaoge counties to try out farming."
Liu Xie glanced at the map and couldn't help laughing.
Dong Zhao is really good at choosing places.
Linli, Dangyin, and Chaoge counties are all remote places, and they have been on the front line in recent years. Most of the people must have fled.
The implementation of land transfer in these three counties is clearly a fool's errand.
Besides, the imperial court’s previous edicts have always been based on counties as a unit for trial farming. When did they say how many counties within a county were selected for farming?
He is so perfunctory and perfunctory, he is indeed a master.
Dong Zhao probably sent Sima Yi here not to cooperate with the review, but to respond to the imperial court's request for Du Tian.
"Why did you choose these three counties for trial implementation instead of the whole county?"
Sima Yi cupped his hands and said: "Your Majesty, I would like to choose three counties to farm the land instead of the whole county for trial use. There are two reasons: Hanoi is a small place with a large population and limited land, but these three counties are slightly wider. If you farm the land in these three counties, there will be the least disturbance. The quickest effect. This is one of them. The three counties are mountainous, and the old Yellow Turban tribe is entrenched. If you can attract the Yellow Turbans to occupy the country, you can not only farm the land, but also suppress the rebellion, killing two birds with one stone. This is the other two."
"Is the old Yellow Turban Army you are talking about the Black Mountain Army?" Liu Xie frowned.
"They are part of the Black Mountain Army." Sima Yi explained: "Since Lord Zhongfu was ordered to farm in Shangdang, the main force of the Black Mountain Army has moved to Shangdang, but there are still some people who are unwilling to farm and stay in the Longlu Mountain area. These Everyone is a soldier who has fought many battles and is familiar with the terrain. When the soldiers arrive, they will flee into the mountains. When the soldiers retreat, they will come back and make it difficult to clear them out. Only by consolidating the fields can they live in peace."
Liu Xie blinked and signaled Sima Yi to be more specific.
He always thought that the Black Mountain Army had gone to Shangdang to farm, but he didn't expect that there were still people in Hanoi. From what Sima Yi said, it seemed that there were still people who had returned from Shangdang.
Zhong Yao never mentioned this matter.
It is normal for local officials to have reservations about the imperial court and not report everything. However, farming is not only related to the safety of Shangdang County, but also related to the stability of the entire defense line against Jizhou. The Black Mountain Army is the main force in the battle against Jizhou. In this way Zhong Yao concealed the matter and refused to report it, which made people suspicious.
If you take into account that the Ruying people have recently switched jobs and bargained with the court overtly and covertly, Liu Xie had to think more carefully to prevent unexpected events.
