Three hundred and fortieth chapters I do not agree
Wang Yue was a native of Youzhou. In his early years, he became famous for assassinating the Qiang and Hu leaders who robbed the people. Later, he made his way around the world and was highly praised for his swordsmanship. Later, he was summoned to the palace by Emperor Ling and served as General Huben.
He is not the Tiger General, but the close bodyguard of Emperor Ling. He is a bit like the Han generals who accompanied the emperor in the Imperial Guards of the Ming Dynasty. They were palace guards.
Emperor Ling had raised him for more than ten years and raised a dead man.
"You are just nine years old, and you can be ordered to assassinate a national traitor? Don't think of someone pretending to pass on the holy order, right?" Liu Xiang asked.
"Your Majesty is ten years old." Wang Yue corrected the age of Emperor Xian Liu Xie of the Han Dynasty, paused and explained: "Your Majesty has been smart since he was a child, and he will definitely become a wise king. He was just bullied by the Dong thief. Wang couldn't stand it, so he wanted to
To eliminate thieves for Your Majesty, no one will tell you."
"Okay, just pretend that no one ordered it." Liu Xiang didn't ask for details. For such a loyal and loyal dead soldier, if the other party doesn't want to tell, it's useless to ask. For Shi'a's sake, it's impossible to torture him.
.
He could only test in a roundabout way: "I am ten years old and cannot be in charge. After Dong Zhuo's death, who will take charge? Have you considered this issue?"
"There are so many ministers who can assist the king in governing the world. Wang is a rough man and does not know how to manage the world and benefit the people. But if there is a traitor to the country, just kill him." Wang Yue was full of confidence.
These words are quite bold and domineering, but his understanding of politics is too shallow. How can he prevent powerful officials from usurping power by relying on assassinations?
I spent more than ten years as a palace guard in vain.
"Once Dong Zhuo dies, his army will be in chaos. Who can take control of the army?" Liu Xiang continued to test.
Wang Yue looked at him as if he were an idiot: "When the leader of the thieves dies, his subordinates will naturally disperse. Your Majesty will issue a few edicts, and loyal people will surely gather. Select the soldiers among them, and then eliminate them one by one."
Okay, there's no need to ask anymore. He's either a political idiot or a cunning old man. If he doesn't get tortured, Liu Xiang doesn't know whether to believe him or not.
But he is Shi'a's master, and many methods cannot be used. He is just a swordsman with advanced martial arts. Why should he chill his loyal subordinates, imprison him, or persuade him to surrender? There is no need to think about it. Liu Xiang is too lazy to put in the effort, so he just does it
of releasing people.
"Wang Huben, whether you believe it or not, after Dong Zhuo's death, the current situation will be even more miserable. This is all I will say, please feel free to do it."
"Thank you very much, envoy."
Wang Yue bowed and saluted. He had a straight temper, but he was not really stupid. He was trying to assassinate others at a banquet and was discovered on the spot. As a result, the other party not only helped him hide his identity, but also did not ask for anything in return and did not kill him.
It's a kindness not to trap him.
Shi A went to say goodbye to Wang Yue. He heard that the two had a sword fight, and the outcome was unknown. He came back with a swollen wrist.
Everyone is embarrassed to ask.
We still have to get along in the future. It's not a good habit to reveal someone's background.
On the second day of the banquet, Dong Zhuo sent out 30,000 civilians and more than 2,000 large and small vehicles, and also sent 2,000 soldiers and horses to supervise. The leader of the army was Liu Xiang's old acquaintance, Jia Xu and Jia Wenhe.
Because Liu Xiang valued Jia Xu, Dong Zhuo also tested his ability and he could handle the things he ordered, but there was nothing outstanding about him and he was just a mediocre person. In the end, it was nothing.
Jia Xu personally brought the first batch of books across the river. When he saw Liu Xiang, he bowed respectfully without saying a word: "Liu Shijun's achievements today will be remembered for centuries, and thousands of future generations will be blessed.
Everyone remembers it in their hearts and recites it in every household to honor his good name."
Although Jia Xu was not a gentleman, and he would not risk everything to save these books like Cai Yong, he was a scholar and was grateful to Liu Xiang for preserving these books.
This gift is very serious and solemn.
"Mr. Wenhe, I have a question, is it really good to be with the light and the dust?" Liu Xiang still had thoughts about Jia Xu and wanted to know what this man was thinking about while he was dormant under Dong Zhuo's command.
He didn't know Jia Xu's ambition. Even if he read the records about Jia Xu in history books, he didn't understand it.
This man's thoughts are too deep.
It can be said that Jia Xu had great ambitions. He wasted his time under Dong Zhuo, did not show off his talents, and had no intention of showing his ability. Later, he hung around among the Liangzhou warlords.
After Dong Zhuo's death, how could any of the Liangzhou warlords succeed? With his wisdom, it was impossible not to see this.
Let's just say he went with the flow. He took the initiative to join Cao Cao and reached a high position. In the end, it was he who came up with Cao Wei's strategy of destroying Wu.
Let's say he cares about his family. They often wander around with him. In Jingzhou in the early days of the Troubled Times and in Jizhou in the later stages, as long as he showed his ability, his family could live a stable life.
He refused and insisted on joining the Liangzhou clique. It was not until the Liangzhou clique was almost extinct that he defected to Cao Cao.
This Jia Wenhe, how can we catch him?
Is Liangzhou really his lifeblood?
Liu Xiang's mind was filled with thoughts.
Jia Xu pretended not to hear the profound meaning of his words, and smiled sincerely and plainly with a square face: "You are a genius who is so talented that you cannot be compared with ordinary people like us. I am just a mediocre person. How can I get this job?"
If you only have an official position and a half-job to make ends meet, you will have nothing more to ask for."
Liu Xiang would not believe his lies, so he tried to test:
"Liangzhou is not only governed by Liangzhou people. If I gain Liangzhou, I will rectify the governor's palace of the Western Region and reopen trade routes. Only when the trade routes connecting thirty-six countries outside the region are opened can Liangzhou prosper again."
The land is not good enough to raise cattle and sheep, let alone fighting. Only trade routes can save Liangzhou. Does Mr. Wenhe think this strategy is feasible?"
Jia Xu's breathing quickened for a moment, but it was quickly covered up.
"Your Majesty, the cost of connecting trade routes outside the territory is too high. People in Liangzhou don't have that much money, so they can't afford it."
Liu Xiang felt that he had gotten the answer he wanted, and said solemnly: "If one day I want to open a trade route, will Wen He be willing to help me?"
Jia Xu was silent for a moment, and then let out a long sigh: "If there ever comes a time when I can travel to all corners of the world, I'd like to travel with you!"
"I will occupy Liangzhou and reopen trade routes. This is my promise. Wen He, you must also remember your promise." Liu Xiang looked at this cunning man with a square face and a goatee, waiting for him.
answer.
"I'll keep it in mind." Jia Xu was thoughtful and answered in a somewhat erratic voice.
Very good, Liu Xiang believes this is true.
The two of them didn't talk for long. The most important thing at the moment was transporting books. They just said a few words and then went about their business.
Liu Xiang attached great importance to it, Dong Zhuo attached great importance to it, and Jia Xu also attached great importance to it. Cai Yong from Luoyang City took the officials responsible for managing the collection of books, as well as the imperial students and Sanshu Lang who spontaneously came to help, to sort and pack them day and night.
Books are shipped quickly.
It's different when you have insurance, you have motivation. Otherwise, who knows what twists and turns will happen.
The Anping Army did not lose control either. The day after Liu Xiang sent the order, five thousand defenders of Tianjing Pass arrived.
On the third day, Zhang He led 10,000 troops south to Yewang County, divided his forces to capture Wen County and Heyang County, and completely opened up the route from Tianjing Pass to Liu Xiang's garrison.
On the fourth day, 10,000 people from the Jizhou Army arrived with 3,000 empty vehicles and began to transport books to Tianjing Pass. Liu Xiang ordered that the subsequent vehicles did not need to go south to the Yellow River, but loaded books directly at Tianjing Pass and transported them to Ye County.
On the fifth day, Zhang He's troops continued to attack surrounding counties.
The books took a full ten days to ship.
Qinshui County, Bo County, Zhe County, Heyang County, Wen County, Yewang County, and six counties were taken into Zhang He's hands.
They all surrendered to the city as soon as the army arrived. There was almost no resistance. The scholars and wealthy households in the city were all welcoming the Anping Army into the city. This surprised Liu Xiang. There were at least more than 200,000 people in these six counties.
, was swept away by ten thousand people.
It seemed that the soldiers under Dong Zhuo's command had caused great harm to them.
The people here, regardless of whether they are rich or poor, are just eating out of the pot and welcoming Master Wang. Fatty Dong is unpopular. He is so afraid of the arrival of the Kwantung Allied Forces that he is anxious to return to Chang'an. Is this the reason?
It's a pity that the Kanto scholars who raised troops haven't discovered it yet.
Liu Xiang, who discovered this, couldn't stay long. The surrounding area of Luoyang was a big whirlpool and there were too many troubles. If he stayed here, he would not only have a head-on conflict with the Liangzhou Group, but also have to compete with the Guandong Group. The gain would outweigh the losses.
So he decided to emigrate.
Anyway, if he doesn't move the people away, Dong Zhuo will have to force them to Guanzhong to cause harm.
Forcibly expelling millions of people from two hundred miles around Luoyang to fill Guanzhong, and then burning down all the buildings. This was Dong Zhuo's plan to move the capital. This was what he would do no matter he was in history or he is now.
Liu Xiang couldn't care about other places. People in these six counties had already begun to send out notices. Those who were willing to go north with the Anping Army should gather in the county. The army would be sent to escort them to Tianjing Pass, where they would be received by Bingzhou officials, and then arranged to go to various places.
The counties divided their fields for farming.
Don’t force anyone who doesn’t want to go.
The farthest among these counties from Tianjingguan is only a hundred miles, and the nearest is more than thirty miles. It is not difficult to immigrate. As for how many people can be taken away, we have to wait for statistics later.
Now there is still the last batch of books, which have been stuck on the south bank for two days. There are more than a thousand cars. Cai Yong personally led people to take care of them. He was afraid that the Liangzhou soldiers guarding them would use the books to set fire to warm themselves.
At the end of January, the weather suddenly heated up and the ice became slippery and difficult to navigate. Liu Xiang was afraid that he would not be able to withstand the heavy load, so he ordered people to collect ships and was cutting through the ice to open a waterway. It is expected to be completed today.
On the twenty-ninth day of the first lunar month, Liu Xiang set foot on the land on the south bank of the Yellow River. He was greeted by Cai Yong and Li Ru, who was sent by Dong Zhuo to "assist" Cai Yong.
"Thanks to my virtuous son-in-law this time, I can keep these collections of books. What a blessing!" Cai Yong excitedly grabbed Liu Xiang's arm and wouldn't let go. The more he looked at this son-in-law, the more he liked him.
"Uncle, please go back with me."
"I have promised Dong Zhongying that I will go to Chang'an with him. This is the condition for him to give away his collection of books." Cai Yong explained and comforted: "A good son-in-law does not need to worry, I live a happy life and have nothing to do with others.
There will be danger."
Liu Xiang frowned slightly and glared at Li Ru, who was closely following Cai Yong: "What does it have to do with you while our son-in-law is talking? Get out of here!"
After saying that, she dragged Cai Yong towards the river: "Uncle, Zhao Ji misses you so much that she is so worried that she can't eat well or sleep well. Please go back with me."
As he walked, he arrived at the side of the ship in a few steps. He winked at Su Wei on the board, used his strength to push Cai Yong onto the board on the side of the ship, and Su Wei stretched out his hand.
With a tug, he bent down and shouldered, picked it up and left. When several people on the deck joined hands, Cai Yong was carried onto the ship like a sack.
"Wonderful son-in-law, good son-in-law, I agreed... Oops... I'm going to Chang'an." Cai Yong was carried on his shoulders and spoke intermittently without much struggle.
