Chapter 894: Yu Ji Visits
It will not be long before the situation in the north is temporarily eased.
And Liu Zheng, at the moment, was thinking deeply about another matter.
Lu Zhi died.
Lu Zhi in history did die in 192.
It's just that this time Lu Zhi's death was not a conspiracy, but when he was commanding the troops and going to Xiliang to quell the rebellion, his old illness recurred and he died on the way.
As soon as Lu Zhi died, some of the soldiers and horses that Lu Zhi could suppress immediately started a commotion at this time.
Han Sui and the others in Xiliang originally thought that there would be a big battle with Lu Zhi, but who knew that this time, the battle had not started yet, so they directly died down.
The news of Lu Zhi's death was known to Han Sui and others, and as soon as the news came out, Han Sui immediately seized the opportunity.
The horses that Lu Zhi brought over did not stop these Qiang people of Han Sui, but on the contrary, let these Qiang people fight more and more fiercely, and directly lost all the places of Sanfu that originally belonged to the imperial court.
Han Sui led an army of more than 100,000 Qiang tribes, directly killed the soldiers and horses of the imperial court, and retreated.
It even threatened the imperial court.
There is no one available in the imperial court, but fortunately, there are still some remnants of the Yellow Turban Party who were newly recruited before, and Emperor Xiaoxian immediately ordered these people from Bingzhou to go and stop these traitors in Xiliang.
Actually, Emperor Xiaoxian, there is still a candidate, that is Liu Bei, but Liu Bei is now too busy to take care of himself, he has not achieved any advantage in Yanzhou, and he has lost Xuzhou, and there are still Liu Zheng and the forces of the Yuan family on this side have been eyeing each other.
If it weren't for the lack of a way, the little emperor would not let Liu Bei leave Yanzhou.
Unfortunately, after Lu Zhi's death, there was no one in the court who could take over Lu Zhi's position.
Those princes and ministers recommended each other, and finally nominated Liu Bei.
Liu Bei is Lu Zhi's protégé. It's royalty again.
There are not many available talents in the imperial court, and some famous people, except for Liu Bei, really can't choose anyone else.
After Lu Zhi's death, the imperial court immediately recruited Liu Bei to Luoyang to preside over the overall situation.
Liu Bei's departure gave Liu Zheng some opportunities, but at this time, Liu Zheng's soldiers and horses were mainly concentrated in the north to deal with the Yuan brothers, so he didn't take this opportunity to fight with Liu Bei's men and horses.
Although Liu Bei has gone to Luoyang, Liu Bei's army, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei's people are still stationed in Yanzhou, which should not be underestimated, and Liu Zheng will definitely not make a move at this time even if he has an idea.
The affairs of the north are not something that can be solved in a while, and Liu Zheng still decided to solve the affairs of the north first, and then slowly deal with the imperial court.
It's September.
In September, the waves were not so fast.
Liu Zheng immediately let his sailors who had been training for two months begin to prepare for Kyushu Island.
Because I had no experience of sailing across the sea before.
Therefore, the first voyage to directly explore the matter of Kyushu Island, Liu Zheng was very cautious, and did not send a large number of soldiers and horses to go, but asked Zhou Tai and others to form a team of 3,000 people, and went to open the road first for exploration, and waited until they really arrived on Kyushu Island to determine the route, and then prepare for the army next time, so that it would be easier.
Although he has no experience of going to Kyushu Island, Zhou Tai has captured hundreds of pirates before, and these pirates have more experience in sailing at sea over the years than Zhou Tai and others, and with those pirates acting as guides, they will be more likely to reach Kyushu Island.
In this way, a month later, Zhou Tai and others went to sea and returned, returned to Jianye, and determined the feasibility of going to sea to reach Kyushu Island.
After preparing for a month, they set off from Jianye City and went directly down the river to Kyushu Island, but after arriving at Kyushu Island.
Zhou Tai did not directly lead his men and horses to explore the island. Instead, for the sake of safety, they returned to Jianye City first.
told Liu Zheng the news of his arrival on Kyushu Island, and Liu Zheng was naturally overjoyed when he heard the news.
As long as they were sure that they could go to Kyushu Island by sail and did not have to go north to take the route of Youzhou and the Peninsula, Liu Zheng could reach Kyushu Island in a few days by boat, so that it would be much easier for them to deal with the natives on Kyushu Island and Yan Baihu.
Taking advantage of the present, the imperial court is not free to deal with itself.
The Yuan brothers in the north were attacking each other again, and Liu Zheng decided to go to Kyushu Island to eliminate Yan Baihu, a fish that slipped through the net.
Now that the journey to Kyushu Island has been determined, Liu Zheng did not slack off and immediately began to prepare.
Zu Lang and Zhou Tai's two parts of the water army have already begun to prepare.
In the past half a year, I have been preparing for the expedition to Kyushu Island, and now that I have finally received Liu Zheng's order, how can I not be excited.
Of course, this kind of thing does not have to be done by Liu Zheng personally, but Liu Zheng is also quite interested in Kyushu Island.
I want to go to Kyushu Island to see what the so-called Great Qin Empire there is.
However, before going to Kyushu Island, the old man Yu Ji, who had never come to Jianye to visit Liu Zheng, came suddenly, which made Liu Zheng slightly stunned.
He was curious about what happened to Yu Ji, an old man, who suddenly came to him.
However, Liu Zheng invited Tai Ji before, so that if Yu Ji was free, he could come to Jianye City to talk to him, and now I heard the people below say that when Yu Ji asked to see him, Liu Zheng still planned to meet Yu Ji first.
After all, the current Yu Ji, in Liu Zheng's heart, is not exactly as simple as a god stick.
After seeing Yu Ji's methods again, Liu Zheng still believed in Yu Ji's ability to some extent.
At least, this time, Yu Ji also guessed something, so that Liu Zheng paid attention to overseas affairs in advance.
It was also mentioned by Yu Ji and Liu Zheng last time, and now Liu Zheng also just wants to ask if Yu Ji will be able to calculate some heavenly opportunities next.
After the court meeting was over, Liu Zheng did not meet Yu Ji at the court meeting, after all, it was not convenient to be in front of the minister.
Instead, in private, he invited Yu Ji into the palace and met Yu Ji in the imperial study.
As soon as Yu Ji saw Liu Zheng, he didn't salute Liu Zheng, but just said hello to Liu Zheng in a Taoist way.
Liu Zheng didn't care too much about this, after all, most of these things were Confucian, and Taoists didn't have so many requirements for this.
Yu Ji still looks like a fairy, but in front of Liu Zheng, there is not so much bohemianism.
"Old Dao Yuji, come to disturb Your Majesty."
