Chapter 435 Precise strike! Cao Amu, I have to smash you!
Nanyang, Wancheng.
Emperor's palace.
Hall of Wende.
Liu Bian sat at the top, holding the memorial handed over by Xu Qiu, scanning it up and down, and frowned: "Teacher, something is wrong. Why is there so much evidence all at once?"
"Obviously."
The voice of the Military Advisor Alliance followed: "A large number of people have already guessed your attitude towards Yuan Wei, Mr. Bian. Now is the time to make atonement, so they are adding insult to injury and fabricating some content to aggravate Yuan Wei's crime."
"This situation is very common. Master Bian does not need to be too shocked. Leave it to Xu Qiu to handle it. Just screen out some of the ones that are beneficial to us. As for the others that are obviously wrong, discard them all."
"This incident originally happened. If there are too many mistakes, it will affect Mr. Bian's reputation. Only by seeking truth from facts can we withstand scrutiny. Don't deliberately make things worse in order to eliminate the Yuan family. This will have the opposite effect."
Liu Bian naturally knew this, and said with absolute certainty: "Don't worry, I still understand this truth, but I suddenly feel that these officials in Chang'an all have a serious bureaucratic atmosphere, which is a bit wrong with my temper."
"That must be of course."
The Military Advisor Alliance smiled and said softly: "The average age of the officials in Chang'an Hanting is over forty-five years old. These guys have been tempered by the officialdom for a long time. It's strange that they don't have the aura of bureaucrats."
"But our court is relatively pure. Since a large number of young officials have been added, the average age is only a little over thirty. When these children are full of energy, have ideals and ambitions, they are naturally better."
"The oldest ones are Yang Biao and Lu Zhi, but these two are obviously incompatible with Chang'an Hanting. They are suitable for your management style, Mr. Bian, so there is not so much bureaucracy on the whole."
Liu Bian frowned and stared at Xu Qiu's memorial. His mind was no longer on the case itself: "Fortunately, we did not attack Chang'an at the beginning. If we took these guys into our pocket and built the imperial court, wouldn't it be possible to have gold and jade on the outside, but lose everything among them?"
"This...is not necessarily true."
The Military Advisor Alliance was relatively rational and said softly: "Actually, these guys still have some abilities, but because the atmosphere of the old court in Chang'an is there, they have to be allowed to blend in, otherwise they will be the next Lu Zhi, and they will always be squeezed out.
share."
"However, if Master Bian really breaks into Chang'an, eliminates Dong Zhuo, and takes over the officials of Chang'an, the military-strategist alliance will also have ways to work hard to correct the atmosphere."
"but......"
The conversation changed and the Military Advisor Alliance continued: "This is a waste of time. It may not be very effective within three or five years. It is far less thorough than building a new imperial court."
"This will not only ensure that the Han Dynasty has brand new blood, but also can place talents from the late Han Dynasty and the Three Kingdoms period into various positions in the court in a timely manner so that they can be trained in advance. This is conducive to our globalization strategy."
"As for the old officials of Chang'an Hanting..."
After pondering for a moment, the voice of the Military Advisor Alliance immediately sounded: "What the experts mean is that we can't use them all, but it's also impossible not to use them all. We need to conduct a comprehensive screening before we can hire them based on their ability."
"Of course, the talents that Nanyang Hanting is currently in urgent need of can still be hired and supplemented. Then they will pass the KPI assessment system and gradually eliminate the fittest."
Liu Bianshen nodded in agreement: "The expert is indeed an expert. This matter must be left to Sima Hui. He is now equivalent to the human resources in the company."
"kindness."
The Military Advisor Alliance affirmed: "After the matter is settled, Sima Hui will focus on screening Chang'an officials. All the forms provided by the experts must be filled in, and some tests must be done. Let's help analyze together and strive to hire people according to their talents without waste.
Talent.”
"Can!"
Liu Bian was overjoyed and nodded: "I can't get what I asked for."
The Alliance of Military Advisors said softly: "The imperial court of Chang'an has been wiped out. This year's Winter Festival Sacrifice Ceremony can announce the orthodox inheritance of the Han Dynasty, and then test the reactions of Jingzhou and Yangzhou, and strive to complete the unification as soon as possible."
Liu Bian was already excited: "Don't worry, everything is progressing steadily."
"His Majesty!"
"His Majesty?"
At this moment, Xu Zhuan's voice interrupted Liu Bian's communication with the military advisor alliance. Only then did Liu Bian realize that he had been communicating for too long and had somewhat ignored Xu Zhuan who was standing below him.
"Ahem!"
Liu Bian coughed twice subconsciously, and then he came to his senses, and turned to look down at Xu Qiu: "Xu Tingwei, what do you think about these evidences?"
"this......"
Xu Xuan pondered for a moment, and finally said: "Nine times out of ten, they are all malicious and false accusations, and some people are even fabricating them out of thin air to add insult to injury."
Xu Qiu didn't know the emperor's attitude towards Yuan Wei. It was obvious that the imperial court wanted to take action against the Yuan family, the fourth generation and the third prince. If he could obey the emperor's wishes at this time, he would naturally win his favor.
But alas...
Xu Xuan's nature and professionalism simply did not allow him to do this.
Therefore, after thinking for a moment, Xu Xuan finally chose to answer honestly. Even if he offended His Majesty the Emperor, he could at least feel at ease.
"That's right."
But what Xu Xuan didn't expect was that His Majesty the Emperor had no intention of complaining against him. Instead, he answered with absolute certainty, and even expressed his approval of himself:
"My vision is indeed correct."
"You are really the right person to be the court captain."
Xu Xuan was shocked, with a look of disbelief on his face. He raised his head and stared at the domineering emperor above: "Your Majesty, I am just seeking truth from facts. This is my duty."
"Seeking truth from facts is a good virtue. Especially at this time, everyone in the world knows that I want to put Yuan Wei on trial, so they must find ways to do what I like, even if they fabricate facts to add insult to injury to Yuan Wei."
"But......"
When the conversation changed, Liu Bian said very solemnly: "Is this really good for me? What I want is the truth, not the end justifies the means. This is definitely not my original intention."
"Yuan Wei was behind the scenes and designed to put the Han people through a bloody storm. This is a fact. They don't need to fabricate facts out of thin air and deliberately frame Yuan Wei. What I need is real evidence, not fabricated evidence."
"Xu Tingwei."
Liu Bian stared at Xu Xuan with burning eyes: "Do you understand what I mean?"
Xu Qiu immediately leaned over and handed over his hand: "Fabricating facts and slandering Yuan Wei will most likely have a negative impact on His Majesty. This is not following His Majesty's will, but being irresponsible to His Majesty."
"kindness."
Liu Bian nodded with satisfaction and said softly: "Nine times out of ten, these evidences are all false, but I believe that there must be some part that is true. I believe in your ability, and you can completely put it together in the shortest possible time.
Find it out."
Xu Qiu was encouraged and deeply impressed by His Majesty's wisdom, and bowed again: "Don't worry, Your Majesty, I will do my best to find the tenth of the evidence."
"Oh right."
Liu Bian suddenly heard something and said softly: "If there are not enough manpower, let Man Chong cooperate with you. His ability in criminal investigation is still very good."
Xu Qiu naturally remembered Man Chong and was deeply impressed by him: "Thank you, Your Majesty. This is what I meant."
Liu Bian said in a long voice: "In that case, Xu Tingwei will go ahead and go ahead. When I enter the palace next time, the evidence I hope to get is one-tenth of the ironclad evidence, not nine-tenths of the perjury."
, do you understand?”
Xu Wancheng was frightened: "Your Majesty, don't worry, I will do my best."
Immediately.
He bowed and left the hall backwards.
Shortly after Xu Qiu left, Zhu Tong entered the palace, bowed and raised his hands and said, "Your Majesty, Guo Jia from the School Affairs Bureau wants to see you."
Liu Bian naturally knew that the two of them were busy with the same thing, so he immediately waved his hand and said: "Let him come in."
Zhu Tong nodded: "Here."
Not long after.
Guo Jia entered the Hall of Wende, stepped forward, bowed and raised his hands: "Your Majesty, Guo Jia, see you."
Liu Bian waved his hand and motioned for him to take a seat: "Get up, but is there any news from Gao Ji?"
"That's right."
Guo Jia nodded affirmatively and said softly: "Gao Ji has already told me the whole process of how he stopped the prefect of Dongjun from taking off the bridge. He was indeed assigned by Yuan Wei, and he was not the only one."
"oh?"
Liu Bian's eyes suddenly lit up and he was overjoyed.
Chen Liugao had a close relationship with the Runan Yuan family. If Chen Liugao could identify the Runan Yuan family, the effect would be no worse than Yuan Di identifying Yuan Wei. This is real ironclad evidence.
"Is he willing to identify himself in public?"
Liu Bian went a step further and asked tentatively.
After all, testimony is far less convincing than identification in public. If Gao Ji can stand up, then even if Xu Qiu makes no progress, the fate of the Yuan family is already doomed.
"Yes." Guo Jia affirmed.
"Seriously?" Liu Bian was overjoyed.
"But there are conditions."
"What conditions?"
"I hope that I can exchange my life for the life of Chenliu Gao's youngest child, and that he will be raised by his mother."
"Okay, no problem."
Liu Bian agreed directly without any hesitation.
Although Gao Ji is the core figure of the Chenliu Gao family, even if the Yi annihilates the three tribes, it is impossible to wipe out all the Chenliu Gao family. There will always be some side branches surviving, and Liu Bian doesn't care about multiple dolls.
What's more, Liu Bian still had some understanding of Gao Ji's mother. This person was a righteous person with a much bigger picture than ordinary people. Giving the child to this person to raise would be a threat to the Han Dynasty and the court.
, it can certainly be reduced to a minimum.
Liu Bian could give Yuan Di a chance, let alone Gao Ji?
Guo Jia secretly breathed a sigh of relief, then took out a letter from his arms and handed it over: "Your Majesty is wise, this is Gao Ji's testimony, I have compiled it, but without Your Majesty's golden mouth, Gao Ji is unwilling to sign it.
.”
"oh?"
Liu Bian was surprised, took the letter, and started to read it.
When his eyes rolled up and down, he suddenly broke into a cold sweat.
What a great Yuan Wei!
In order to ensure that Dong Zhuo could reach Luoyang first, three groups of people were sent out to prevent the princes from entering Luoyang, just to buy Dong Zhuo time.
In addition, he also deliberately arranged a spy in the city to provide Dong Zhuo with information, so that he could find the lonely emperor in the shortest time and take the credit, which would facilitate his promotion.
"That's what happened."
At this moment, the voice of the Military Advisor Alliance sounded: "I didn't expect that Yuan Wei would spend so much effort to support Dong Zhuo, and he couldn't let Dong Zhuo know."
"yes."
Even Liu Bian himself couldn't help but be stunned: "Yuan Wei is indeed a conspirator. He will do whatever it takes to achieve his own goals. It is really outrageous!"
"It doesn't matter, it has failed anyway."
The Alliance of Military Advisors tried to calm down Liu Bian's restless mood: "If Yuan Wei falls, many related aristocratic families will be uprooted. This will be of great benefit to Bian Ye but not a single harm."
"A Yuan family with four generations and three fathers can already stabilize Bian Ye's foundation. If we add aristocratic families such as the Gao family, Bian Ye will have more resources in his hands, which will be more conducive to breeding a powerful family.
imperial power."
"So, don't be angry about how superb Yuan Wei's methods are, how strong his control ability is, and how extensive the noble families are involved. The more noble families involved now, the more advantageous it will be to you, Mr. Bian."
How could Liu Bian not know this truth? He was equivalent to sucking the blood of the Yuan family, Gao family and other wealthy families and turning it into a powerful guarantee of royal power.
From this analysis, Liu Bian should even thank Yuan Wei. If Yuan Wei hadn't been so capable and involved, he really wouldn't have been able to stabilize the imperial power so quickly.
call-
Take a long breath.
Liu Bian tried hard to keep himself calm. Everything has two sides, so it would be good if he could fight for the side that is beneficial to him: "Fengxiao, take it back and ask Gao Ji to sign it, and then follow the clues to catch all the officials involved."
Guo Jia was very clear about the purpose of His Majesty the Emperor. He was born in a poor family, and he wished that the Emperor could do this, so he did not hesitate and bowed:
"Your Majesty, don't worry. You can leave this matter to me."
"Cooperate with Xu Qiu in this matter and try to resolve it as soon as possible."
The longer this matter is delayed, the more unfavorable it will be for dealing with Yuan Wei and related forces.
Therefore, Liu Bian was ready to cut through the mess with a sharp knife and work hard to completely eliminate the Yuan family and all relevant forces, and to stabilize the imperial power in a short period of time to avoid long nights and nightmares.
Guo Jia nodded: "Here."
Immediately.
He bowed and left the hall, disappearing from Liu Bian's sight.
At this moment, the netizens in the live broadcast room were excited again, talking non-stop:
"Master Bian is really becoming more and more distinguished, and he will definitely be able to surpass Emperor Qin and Han Wu in the future."
"I believe that Mr. Bian's strength will get better and better under the guidance of experts."
"Well, that's right, I will follow this show for the rest of my life."
"First stabilize the imperial power, and then strengthen infrastructure to lay the foundation for external expansion."
"Keep up the good work, our more than one billion netizens will all support you."
"Master Bian, rise up—! Struggle.jpg"
"..."
*****
Yanzhou, Shanyang.
Changyi County.
In the prefect's mansion.
Yuan Yi sat at the head, and under him were officials of civil and military positions on both sides.
The chief secretary, Yuan Lin, leaned forward and handed over his hand, and was reporting the results of the battle: "In this battle, our army killed at least 4,000 Liu Dai's troops, defeated more than 10,000 enemy troops, and seized ten siege equipment, weapons, armor and flags.
countless."
There was no excitement on Yuan Yi's face. Instead, he waved his hand to interrupt and asked directly: "Don't tell me so many useless things. No matter how many enemies you kill, it's not worth one Liu Dai. I just want to ask you, where is Liu Dai?"
"this......"
Yuan Lin frowned and his voice was slightly protracted: "My lord, my subordinates have sent people to find Liu Dai. I believe there will be a result soon. If he abandons his horse, he will definitely not be able to escape."
"waste!"
Yuan Yi was furious, stood up, and yelled: "There are so many people, but Liu Dai can't be found? If he escapes, you will all be buried with him."
"I told you, it doesn't matter whether others die or not. We must ensure that Liu Dai is killed. If he does not die, he will definitely attract Cao Cao's army. In this case, we may not be able to drag him into the middle of winter."
Yuan Lin hurriedly held up his hands and broke into cold sweat: "Don't worry, my lord, my subordinates have already sent out their manpower to search. I believe there will be news soon."
Yuan Yi's eyes shot out with thousands of fierce gleams, and he shouted in a cold voice: "Three days, you only have three days, do you understand?"
Yuan Lin nodded: "Three days is enough!"
"good."
"I'm waiting for your news."
Yuan Yi then gave up and asked, "Is there any news from Nanyang?"
Yuan Lin exhaled and said with a slight embarrassment: "The scouts who were sent out have not returned yet, but I think they will be here soon."
Yuan Yi said softly: "I hope there is no news. This proves that Mr. Yuan has withstood the pressure. It is meaningful for us to fight harder here, otherwise it will be in vain."
At this point, Yuan Yi doesn't expect Yuan Shao at all. For a man who spent more than half a year and failed to capture Youzhou, the possibility of defeating Nanyang is simply ridiculously low.
And if...
Yuan Wei can carry it until winter, which proves that he has a strong ability to survive under strong pressure. Once he takes the initiative in the coming year, it is still unclear what the future will be like.
Therefore, no news is the best news for Yuan Yi. Once he can stabilize Shanyang County, he will enter Chenliu next year and threaten Nanyang from the east. It is also very possible.
"Report—!"
At this moment, a long announcement sounded outside the hall.
Yuan Yi turned around and looked.
However, he saw that his own scouts hurriedly broke into the hall, looking slightly panicked. He leaned over and cupped his hands and said: "My lord, there is news from Nanyang direction."
Yuan Yi was startled and asked urgently: "How?"
The scout's throat rolled: "His Majesty the Emperor defected to Nanyang in front of the battle. Yuan Gong and all the civil and military officials of Chang'an were arrested. Currently, the Tingwei is working with the school affairs office to examine the Taifu's Mansion and court officials. I heard that His Majesty the Nanyang Emperor is preparing to
Put Duke Yuan on trial."
"Public trial of Duke Yuan?"
Yuan Yi was shocked and his eyes were as wide as bells.
He couldn't believe his ears.
You must know that Yuan Wei is the fourth generation and the third prince, and he has a very important position in the court. If he wants to put the Yuan family on trial, how can his disciples and former officials agree?
certainly!
His Majesty the Nanyang Emperor had already done so much preparation work that even the disciples and former officials of the Yuan family began to doubt Yuan Wei's sincerity, so he did not stop the Nanyang court from holding a public trial of Yuan Wei.
In fact, I am afraid that even they want to know whether Yuan Wei conspired to rebel. After all, this is their belief that they have persisted for more than ten years, or even twenty or thirty years.
"That's right."
The scout nodded with certainty: "That's exactly it."
Yuan Yi took a deep breath and tried to keep himself calm: "How could the Emperor of Nanyang want to put Duke Yuan on trial? He would definitely create a lot of perjury to slander Duke Yuan and achieve his own conspiracy."
"I, the fourth and third prince of the Yuan family, have disciples and old officials all over the world. I am always a threat to the imperial power. That's why the emperor will risk everything and attack our Yuan family. It is simply despicable!"
"Someone is coming!"
Yuan Yi was filled with anger and rage.
"exist."
Yuan Lin bowed his head and said, "What are your orders, my lord?"
Yuan Yilang said: "Send people to Nanyang quickly. Evidence will be produced at the public trial. If they deliberately framed Mr. Yuan and raised questions on the spot, I would like to see what evidence they can produce."
Yuan Lin cupped his hands and responded sonorously: "Here, I will remember it and will arrange for people to enter Nanyang immediately."
Yuan Yien said: "Okay."
Immediately.
He quickly returned to the top and his eyes fell on the map on the handsome man.
Yuan Wei in Guanzhong Chang'an could no longer count on him, so Yuan Yi could only develop towards the north.
However, there are cavalry from Nanyang near Wei County, so it may not be that easy to enter Hebei.
What's even worse is that Cao Cao is now ready to make a move. Once he learns that Liu Dai has failed, he will definitely rush into Shanyang at all costs. Can his own troops stop Cao Cao's elite?
Yuan Yi's mind was like lightning, and he constantly deduced the situation of the battle.
pity......
Seven or eight different plans were tried, all of which were rejected by him, and none of them could successfully delay the attack until the middle of winter.
Just as Yuan Yi was deep in thought, a long announcement sounded again outside the hall:
"Report—!"
Yuan Yi raised his eyes and looked.
But I saw an unkempt soldier entering the palace in a hurry. He looked extremely flustered and didn't even bother to salute. He knelt on the ground with a bang and started crying:
"Lord—!"
"What's going on?"
Yuan Yi suddenly felt something bad and hurriedly bypassed the handsome man and entered the palace: "Don't be anxious, speak slowly."
The soldier burst into tears and said: "Cao Cao led his troops and horses and has already entered Shanyang. They used cavalry to clear the way. The infantry followed with fire and thunder to blow open the city gate. In less than half a day, they captured Gonghe. They are now heading towards Changyi County.
Come."
"ah?"
Yuan Yi was stunned: "Cao Cao has come to kill him? Why didn't you report it earlier?"
The soldier cried: "We sent out scouts, but they should all have been intercepted and killed. They had more cavalry and destroyed our army's postal system. Our intelligence cannot be sent out at all."
Yuan Yi's eyes were as wide as bells, full of shock: "This...how is this possible?"
The soldier said with absolute certainty: "It's true. Their cavalry did not attack Gonghe, but went straight to the post station at the rear, striking accurately, as if they had already figured out the situation in Shanyang County."
"Cao Ahao!"
The anger in Yuan Yi's heart burned, and he clenched his fists subconsciously: "I didn't expect you to come so quickly. It seems that a battle between you and me is inevitable after all!"
"Fire and Thunder?"
Yuan Yi took a deep breath and exhaled slowly: "I want to see how powerful this thing is!"
