Chapter 351 An upgraded version of Chang'an Hanting? It doesn't matter, the experts already have a strategy!
Yuan Di was lying on the wooden couch, resting his hands on his pillow, staring at the thin light coming from the stone wall window not far from the next door. The dust in the light was floating, like stars wandering in the sky, and the vast universe. generally.
The fluttering dust seemed to be moving regularly. Sometimes it evolved into the appearance of my childhood, and sometimes it transformed into the high-spiritedness of my middle age. It also reflected my loneliness at the moment.
In the entire prison, except for the smell of moisture and decay, which made Yuan Di feel like he was still alive, there was no life at all. There was not even a chirping rat.
Squeak—!
The sound of the cell door opening sounded.
As if being wound up, Yuan Di suddenly turned over and sat up, and rushed out with a single stride. He put his hands on the wooden stakes as thick as the mouth of the prison bowl and stared at the figure in the darkness.
really!
A jailer holding prison food walked out of the darkness as usual. He still lowered his head and could not see any expression. He walked in a hurry. He put down the new prison food and took back the old dishes and chopsticks, then hurriedly leave.
"You are talking! You are talking!"
"Are you mute? Or are you deaf and can't hear?"
"Is your mouth sewn shut? Talk to me for a while!"
"What time is it now? You can tell me this, right?"
"Don't leave, come back, come back to me!"
“Come back to me—!
!”
The jailer left in a hurry, just as the jailer came in a hurry. The jailer was as mechanical as a log, leaving behind the food and taking away the scraps. His hasty indifference was like a thousand arrows piercing the heart.
When the jailer disappeared into the darkness, Yuan Di's voice was silent again. His face was expressionless, but he was not annoyed at all. He had been used to it for more than half a year, and he had become accustomed to it.
As for the mad roar just now, it was just that he seized the opportunity to vent his emotions to the outside world. Even if the jailer remained silent, it was still better than these cold pieces of wood.
However......
What Yuan Di didn't know was.
His actions at this moment were all seen clearly by Guo Jia and Li Ru in the darkness, and they heard clearly that this was a strategy of Guo Jia to attack Yuan Di, which lasted for nearly half a year.
Now, His Majesty the Emperor has brought Li Ru, and he has a sworn feud with the Yuan family. Guo Jia feels that it is time to close the net and get something out of this guy's mouth.
The two followed the jailer out of the prison and came to the interrogation room next to them.
Guo Jia returned to sit down, sipped the hot tea, and said softly: "To be honest, I spent a lot of time trying to pry open this person's mouth. Just now Wenyou also saw him. This person's mind is already messed up. It will inevitably collapse soon."
"Of course, this matter involves the Yuan family after all. Even if Yuan Di collapses, he will still be wary of us. If Wen You can come forward, we will get twice the result with half the effort."
After seeing Guo Jia's tactics, Li Ru realized that he had not lost unfairly. The other party had controlled people's hearts to the extreme, so even if they were short of manpower, they could still achieve maximum effectiveness.
This point is more than 10,000 times better than his own "stupid method". In terms of pure control of manpower and people's hearts, Guo Jia completely crushed himself, which is really admirable.
Li Ru originally thought that the backbone of Nanyang Hanting were all young people under the age of forty, and there were even some who were only in their twenties.
Although being young is not a fault, it does mean that there are many shortcomings such as lack of experience and lack of official experience. But how could Li Ru dare to imagine that these people around King Hongnong were so strong.
In front of him was Xun Yu, the Chancellor, who was able to do things without leakage. He controlled the farming of the three states with no effort at all, and he did not make any mistakes. He managed the Nanyang Hanting in an orderly manner.
Later, the school affairs office Guo Jia established an intelligence system from scratch. With limited manpower and limited resources, it played a powerful role. Under his operation, everything was transparent, both internally and externally.
As for the others, although Li Ru didn't know much about them, judging from the current development of Nanyang Hanting, they must be young talents with outstanding talents.
Such a court is really full of vitality and desirable, far more powerful than the filthy environment of Chang'an Han Court, a hundred times, a thousand times, or even ten thousand times!
Li Ru was convinced and finally lowered his arrogant head completely: "Don't worry, Fengxiao, Ru and the Yuan family have a sworn hatred. If I can do something for Your Majesty this time to avenge the family, I will be willing to die."
"What other orders do you have?"
Li Ru bowed deeply and said solemnly: "Confucianism must be borne in mind."
Guo Jia nodded: "It's true!"
Li Ru nodded: "As a courtesy, please speak out."
"According to the situation under Guo's control, this person is cautious and suspicious by nature. It is not that easy to get something out of him. Even if he says something to you now, he will still deny it."
"So..."
Guo Jia thought for a moment and said softly: "Guo thinks that Wen You must not be too obvious. He must first find a way to dispel this person's doubts, and then think about how to obtain information."
"Remember not to act too hastily, otherwise not only will it be difficult to obtain the information, but Guo's efforts over the past six months will even be ruined. Wen You still needs to control the appropriateness."
Li Ru bowed his head and said: "Don't worry about being filial, I will keep it in my heart."
Guo Jia nodded, completely relieved: "I believe in Wen You's wisdom. A little Yuan Di will not be able to trouble you. If you can successfully obtain information, the hatred of your whole family will not be a problem."
Li Ru handed over his hand again: "I understand."
"very good!"
Guo Jia was very satisfied with Li Ru's awareness of current affairs: "In this case, in half an hour, you will be sent in by the jailer, and you two will be imprisoned in similar cells. You will only hear his voice but not his person."
Li Ru naturally knew that this was to reduce Yuan Di's suspicion of him and make it easier for him to say: "Fengxiao is thoughtful and thoughtful, and I admire him very much."
Immediately.
Guo Jia stood up slowly and exhaled: "In that case, Guo will leave. Wen You is here to think about how to approach the topic without arousing suspicion. Yuan Di will be left to you."
Li Ru nodded: "Don't worry, I will do my best."
Immediately.
Guo Jia left the interrogation room, leaving Li Ru alone in the room, thinking about countermeasures.
I don't know how long it took, but two jailers walked in and bowed in salute: "I'm really sorry, I offended you."
Li Ru stood up and stretched out his hands: "Let's put on the shackles."
Jailer: "Here."
The shackles were put on Li Ru, and the jailer took him to the prison.
Squeak—!
The sound of the cell door opening sounded.
Yuan Di rushed to the door reflexively.
But he waited and waited, but still there was no sound. He held his breath and concentrated, only to hear the sound of the cell door opening not far from the next door. It seemed that a new inmate had arrived.
but......
Yuan Di was not too excited, but rather a little skeptical.
With so many people coming so suddenly, wouldn't his efforts in the first half of the year be in vain?
"Uh... uh... uh uh..."
Not far from the next door, there was a hoarse ugh sound. The other person kept banging on the cell door, causing the shackles to jingle and make a harsh sound, but the sound was still a hoarse ugh sound.
Could it be...
Is this man mute?
Yuan Di frowned, suspicious: "Hey, newcomer, don't waste your energy. It's impossible for these guys to talk to you. I've been locked up here for I don't know how long, and everyone talks to me."
"Uh... uh... uh uh..."
It was still just a hoarse hiccup.
"Are you mute?"
Yuan Di asked tentatively.
"Uh uh uh...uh uh..."
This time it was a quick and hoarse hiccup.
"You are not mute, were you made mute by them?"
"Uh uh... uh..."
"I see!"
"..."
******
Nanyang, Wancheng.
Emperor's palace.
Hall of Wende.
After listening to Guo Jia's report, Liu Bian burst into laughter: "So, Li Ru has been playing dumb these days? Playing riddles with Yuan Di?"
Guo Jia nodded with interest. He didn't seem to have thought that Li Ru would pretend to be mute: "That's true. Li Ru was just shouting uh uh uh, and there was no other sound in his mouth."
"Because the prisons between the two are relatively far apart, and Li Ru is on the dark side, with only a faint hint of fire, Yuan Di can't tell whether Li Ru is really mute or fake."
But here comes the problem.
Liu Bian frowned and asked tentatively: "If Li Ru is mute, how can he escape Yuan Di's words? Has this guy ever considered this issue?"
Guo Jia seemed to have a close connection with Li Ru, and said softly: "Your Majesty, I guess Li Ru wants Yuan Di to speak out on his own, and he is just a listener, so that no trace is left."
"oh?"
It sounds reasonable, but Liu Bian still has doubts: "Yuan Di really knows how to say it?"
Guo Jia was full of confidence: "Your Majesty, don't worry. After a while, Li Ru has completely gained Yuan Di's trust. I will definitely cooperate with Li Ru and make Yuan Di speak obediently."
"Is there any way to be a filial piety?"
"Yeah." Guo Jia nodded, "I do have some ideas."
"Okay!" Liu Bian was overjoyed, "In that case, I will leave this matter to you."
"Here."
Guo Jia responded, then continued: "Your Majesty, I have already investigated that Gao Ji. He is a member of the Chenliu Gao family and is indeed related by marriage to the Yuan family."
"The general Gao Gan under Yuan Shao's account is Yuan Shao's nephew and a member of the Chenliu Gao family. His younger brother Gao Rou also works under Yuan Shao's account."
"As for his mother..."
Guo Jia sighed, nodded solemnly and said: "Now he has been taken to Yecheng for support. He is under the control of Yuan Shao, but the specific location is not clear at the moment. It is quite difficult to catch this person."
Liu Bian had never placed hope on this point: "Well, I have already expected this. It doesn't matter. Fengxiao still has to focus his main energy on Yuan Di and the "Yuanshi Lu" in Chang'an."
"I estimate that within a few years, we will have a final decisive battle with Chang'an Hanting. Before that, we must grasp the evidence that the Yuan family has brought disaster to the world. I must let them be ruined!"
Guo Jianeng could feel His Majesty the Emperor's determination, and immediately clasped his hands and said, "Don't worry, Your Majesty, I can just leave this matter to you."
Liu Bian nodded: "Well, leave it to you, I can feel at ease."
"Oh right."
Just as Guo Jia was about to turn around and leave, he suddenly remembered something and said again: "Your Majesty, news came back from Chang'an recently that Dong Zhuo proclaimed himself Marquis of Xi, moved the Prime Minister's Palace to Xiwu, and rarely paid attention to the government affairs anymore."
"At the same time, the Yuan family's activities in Chang'an became more frequent. They successively contacted Wang Yun, Fu Wan, Dong Cheng and other court officials. It is very likely that they were conspiring..."
Before he finished speaking, Liu Bian interrupted Guo Jia and said coldly: "Assassin Dong?"
Guo Jia nodded affirmatively: "Yes, it is indeed possible!"
hiss-!
Liu Bian couldn't help but gasp.
Historically, after Dong Zhuo was destroyed, Wang Yun secretly plotted to assassinate Dong, take back his power, and control the government. Is it possible that in this time and space, Yuan Wei finally stood up?
Have to admit it.
Yuan Wei, this old fox, is much more powerful than Wang Yun.
He is a man who can endure, has strategies, means, and understands the general situation and takes the overall situation into consideration. If Chang'an really falls into his hands, it will really not be good news for Liu Bian.
In history, after Wang Yun seized power, he was overconfident and was eventually killed by Li Jue and Guo Si. However, this kind of thing would never happen to Yuan Wei, an old fox.
In other words!
If Yuan Wei really takes up the banner of Chang'an Hanting, then what he will face in the future will definitely be such a terrifying system as Guanzhong, Liangzhou, Bingzhou, Youzhou, and Jizhou.
In fact, under Yuan Wei's use of imperial power, he is bound to become even more outstanding than Dong Zhuo. The only Han clan clan left in the world will probably no longer be passively beaten.
"His Majesty?"
"kindness."
Liu Bian nodded, took a deep breath, and tried to keep himself calm: "Don't worry Fengxiao, I'm fine. You go down first. Remember to always pay attention to the trends in Guanzhong. If anything happens, report it in time without making any mistakes."
Guo Jia bowed his head and responded loudly: "Here."
Immediately.
Bowed and left the hall.
Looking at Guo Jia's leaving figure, Liu Bian had a thought in his mind and hurriedly asked: "Teacher, do you think Yuan Wei will really replace Wang Yun and assassinate Dong Zhuo, thereby taking over the political power of Chang'an?"
"possible."
The Military Advisor Alliance responded affirmatively without any hesitation: "Now that Nanyang Hanting's establishment is becoming more and more complete, the old ministers of Chang'an Hanting naturally have no way out."
"Even if the Yuan family doesn't want to come forward, there will definitely be a large number of officials begging them to come forward in the end. After all, the Yuan family's power in Chang'an Hanting is still very huge."
"As for whether Yuan Wei will be like Wang Yun, expert analysis says no, and the probability has reached 97.6%, which is enough to prove that we are about to encounter a brand new Chang'an Hanting."
Liu Bian frowned: "97.6%? Isn't this a bit exaggerated?"
The Alliance of Military Advisors was extremely sure: "It's not an exaggeration at all. Don't forget, Wang Yun was a censor. He climbed all the way to the center of the imperial court by impeaching officials."
"Although such people have a reputation, they still have nothing in their eyes. Wang Yun will never accept sycophants like Li Jue and Guo Si. This is the reason for his failure."
"But Yuan Wei is different. He can ignore the Yuan family and let Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu serve as the staff of He Jin, who was born as a butcher. This is enough to prove that this person has extremely high tolerance. As long as he can achieve his goals, the so-called rules,
You can't restrain him."
"Therefore, in his eyes, the long-lasting Four Generations and Three Dukes could not restrain him, and this gave rise to the idea of taking a step further. Therefore, Yuan Wei is very likely to tolerate the world. Zhang Ji, Fan Chou, Duan Xuan,
Niu Fu, he might accept it."
"As for how he will use it after accepting it, that is Yuan Wei's own method, but at least there will never be a scene in history where Li Jue and Guo Si counterattacked."
Makes sense!
It really makes sense!
Liu Bian naturally knew that Wang Yun was a censor, and he usually impeached one person or another. Although this would bring some fame, such a person was indeed not suitable to be in power.
Even Liu Bian, who had not been emperor for two days, knew that the superior must be open to all rivers and tolerate everything. The so-called employment of people's strengths must accommodate their weaknesses. For the superior, the key is to accommodate the weaknesses of others in the second half of the sentence.
.
Wang Yun could not tolerate Dong Zhuo's old ministers, so he would naturally be counterattacked by Li Jue, Guo Si and others. If he had the ability to defeat them, he would have done it himself, but he couldn't, so he was naturally defeated.
Yuan Wei is far better than Wang Yun in terms of character!
Therefore, Yuan Wei can accomplish the great things that Wang Yun cannot accomplish!
Liu Bianshen agreed, and then continued to ask: "I wonder if the experts have any countermeasures?"
The Alliance of Military Advisors affirmed: "It is possible, but it cannot be implemented now. We must wait until after the autumn harvest and there is enough food and grass. Otherwise, a forced attack may drag down the overall situation."
"Bianye's development is really too fast. If there is only Nanyang County, there will be no problem. But now we still have Yuzhou and Xuzhou in our hands, and the resources are a bit stretched."
"The most important thing for us at the moment is to get through this stage safely. When we have enough food, we will be able to unsheath the sword and point it at the northern border."
Liu Bian is naturally aware of the current predicament of the imperial court. Farming in Yuzhou and Xuzhou has been added to the problem, which has directly overdrafted Nanyang, which had already had a bumper harvest.
If you want to slow down, you must wait for the next autumn harvest to ensure sufficient food and grass. This is like punching. You must first clench your fist tightly before swinging it out with force, so as not to cause shrinkage.
The embarrassment of never coming back.
"kindness."
Liu Bian responded, and Quan responded: "How can I not understand this truth, but experts still want to talk about strategies so that we can prepare in advance."
"certainly!"
The Alliance of Military Advisors affirmed: "This is what it should be! In fact, experts have already predicted the subsequent situation, so Zhang Liao was left in Heluo just as a precaution."
"oh?"
Liu Bian frowned: "Zhang Liao?"
The Military Advisor Alliance replied: "That's right! Zhang Liao has implemented farming in the Heluo area. In a full year and a half, the refugees have almost been collected, and those who should be stabilized have also been stabilized."
"As long as we have sufficient food and grass, we can send Zhang Liao to send troops in advance to occupy Hanoi, Henan Yin, and Hedong counties, thereby invading Bingzhou and cutting off the connection between Guanzhong and Jizhou."
hiss-!
Liu Bian couldn't help but gasp.
He hurriedly got up, walked to the bookshelf, found the detailed map of Da Han from it, started browsing, and nodded slowly: "That's right! As long as we can enter Bingzhou, we can cut off the connection between Guanzhong and Jizhou."
"In this case, Yuan Wei and Yuan Shao will become two individuals and it will be difficult for them to gain momentum one after another. However, we can concentrate our superior forces and annihilate them one by one."
"but......"
Thinking of this, Liu Bian suddenly frowned: "Teacher, if Zhang Liao leads troops into Bingzhou, wouldn't Heluo be empty? Wouldn't this give Yuan Wei a chance?"
"Currently, all major commanders have their own regions, and it is difficult for young forces to be promoted. If we can't find someone who can replace Zhang Liao, I'm afraid Zhang Liao won't be able to leave, right?"
The Military Advisor Alliance was very satisfied with Liu Bian's answer and said softly: "Master Bian's understanding of his own power has indeed reached a certain level."
"That's right! This is also the reason why it is difficult for Zhang Liao to send troops. The reason why experts have to wait until after the autumn harvest is that the first factor is food and grass, and the second factor is to wait for Liu Bei."
"Liu Bei?"
Liu Bian suddenly realized something: "But doesn't Liu Bei still need to be wary of the Deng family and the Yin family? This year he just destroyed the Lai family. It is difficult to hurt the roots of the Yin family and the Deng family."
"According to our initial plan, Liu Bei will probably have to stay in Nanyang for three years. If it is less than three years, wouldn't our control of the Nanyang nobles be abandoned halfway?"
The Military Advisor Alliance continued: "After this year's bumper harvest, the imperial court will begin to publicize private land. According to expert calculations, if the output of chemical fertilizers increases by more than 50%, farmers' income will increase significantly, thus promoting the public ownership of private land laterally."
"The Deng family and the Yin family should have come to their senses. If they can use part of their own land to publicize their private land, they can naturally avoid blood-sucking next year."
"If this is the case, the power of the Deng family and the Yin family will be greatly reduced, and they will enter a temporary period of safety. At this time, there will be almost no big threat to the imperial court."
"In this way, Liu Bei will be transferred to Heluo to prevent Yuan Wei from copying Zhang Liao's retreat. This will ensure the stability of our territory."
Liu Bian thought about the opinion of the military advisor alliance and nodded with interest: "It makes sense, but what if the Deng family and the Yin family don't publicize the land?"
"It doesn't matter."
The Military Advisor Alliance seemed to have the same countermeasure: "Then let Sun Jian set up the camp in Xinye. Xinye happens to be the intersection of Tuanshui, Feishui and other rivers, so it is a good training point."
"Besides, Xinye is not too far from Xiangyang. For Liu Biao, it is also a deterrent. One chess piece, two functions. The Deng family and the Yin family can only be fish on the chopping board, let us slaughter them."
Liu Bian's eyes suddenly brightened, and he couldn't help but secretly exclaimed: "The Military Advisor Alliance is still so powerful! A family as big as the Deng family and the Yin family is under your control!"
"good!"
Liu Bian did not hesitate and said sonorously: "Let's do it this way. After the autumn harvest, we will transfer Liu Bei to Heluo and let Sun Jian settle in Xinye. No matter whether the Deng family cooperates or not, we will do it this way."
"kindness."
The Military Advisor Alliance followed closely and said: "Master Bian, we are about to enter the preparation stage now. Let's go and see Tai Shitong in two days to see where he is stuck?"
"After we develop the aluminum alloy, we will expand the enemy camp and the Tiger Cavalry. They will definitely be able to kill everyone on the Bingzhou battlefield and make new achievements."
