Chapter 357: Containment
At present, the two states are all in his hands, and they can be said to be strong and strong, and Gongsun Zan and Yuan Shao in the north can compete with them, and it seems that they should be given some convenience.
After thinking alone for a while, Liu Xie left the hall, returned to the rest room, and sent someone to secretly recruit Yan Liang.
Yan Liang came to the palace, and the two discussed for several hours before quietly leaving the palace.
Not long after Yan Liang left, Liu Xie sent people to recruit Dong Cheng and other confidants.
In the inner room, Liu Xie looked at Yang and Dong, who were already seated: "Right now, the Xiliang army has retreated, but the princes are gathering more and more, it's time to solve it." ”
Yang Biao arched his hand and said: "The old minister thinks that it is better to wait for the opportunity and brake quietly. ”
Liu Xie said: "The widow also wants to wait, but the time will not wait for me, if I am trapped in this broken Luoyang, I am afraid that sooner or later I will be regarded as a puppet again." ”
Dong Cheng suddenly suggested: "Your Majesty, there is something that the minister thinks is an opportunity, maybe it can be used as a breakthrough." ”
Liu Xie said: "Dong Aiqing said quickly." ”
Dong Chengdao: "Your Majesty, there is not much grain and grass left for the previous offering, why don't Your Majesty collect some from the soldiers and horses outside the city." ”
"The army has come from afar, and it must not bring much grain and grass, and Your Majesty will take some, and they will retreat one day earlier."
Yes, I forgot about this, and Zhang Yang provided enough food and grass for a month, but he suddenly captured thousands of prisoners, and the amount of food increased dramatically.
Liu Xie nodded and said, "What if they don't want to hand it over?" ”
It seems that Liu Xie's damaged self-confidence in Yanda has not yet recovered, and he would ask such a question.
Dong Chengdao: "Your Majesty is the son of heaven of the Han Dynasty, since they have listened to the edict, they have scruples, or have plans, so the minister thinks that they will offer grain and grass." ”
"Hmm." If they don't, they don't have face.
Liu Xie smiled and said: "Okay, Dong Aiqing's method is really a double win, that is, to solve the problem of food shortage, and to weaken the soldiers and horses from all walks of life outside the city, it is really a widowed Xiao Heye." ”
Dong Chengdao: "It's all Your Majesty's sage, and the ministers don't dare to be it." ”
The danger of soldiers and horses from all walks of life was temporarily resolved, and Liu Xie was in a good mood, but suddenly he seemed to remember something and had a worried face.
"I finally escaped from the tiger's mouth, but the princes everywhere supported their own troops, like a sharp sword, hanging on the head of the widow, making it difficult for the widow to sleep and eat."
His Majesty was too anxious, and as soon as he settled down, he wanted to solve the external trouble, and both of them muttered in their hearts, and they continued to rack their brains helplessly, but there was nothing they could do.
Yang Biao said: "Your Majesty, this matter cannot be changed overnight, so it is better to plan it slowly." ”
Liu Xie said: "The widows naturally know, but we must also curb them, otherwise let them continue to grow, I am afraid that it will be more difficult in the future." ”
Yang Biao nodded and said: "Your Majesty is reasonable, at the moment, there are only four princes who are powerful, that is Yangzhou Sun Ce, Yanzhou Cao Cao, Xuzhou Liu Bei, and the largest is Li Huiyi, who occupies the two states." ”
"But at present, they don't seem to be disobedient, Your Majesty can test it and see if it can be taken for his own use."
Liu Xiedao: "Yang Aiqing's analysis is reasonable, the widow also summoned Lu Bu today, oh, it's called Yan Da, judging by what he said, Li Huiyi has a heart of disobedience." ”
The princes of the world, there are a few loyalists, all of them are waiting to see the situation, but Liu Xie said on his face that he wanted to do something to Li Huiyi.
Dong Cheng thought for a while and said: "Your Majesty, the minister thinks that Li Huiyi can't move for the time being, otherwise I'm afraid that the overall situation will be moved, and it will be difficult to control it then." ”
"So the minister thinks that at present, it is better to run this division and strengthen itself well."
Liu Xie shook his head and said: "The widow will naturally not make a big show, but it should be no problem to give Gongsun Zan and Yuan Shao some convenience and let them Li Huiyi." ”
Yang Biao said: "Then what is Your Majesty going to do?"
Liu Xiedao: "The widow is ready to crown Gongsun Zan as the pastor of the state, and let Yuan Shao secretly help, what does Aiqing think?" ”
Yang Biao said: "This matter is very important, Your Majesty needs to be cautious. ”
Dong Cheng also echoed: "Yes, Your Majesty still remembers that Bingzhou was tragically harmed by the Huns, and now Gongsun Chan is already notorious in Bingzhou, if Your Majesty lets him be the pastor of Bingzhou, I am afraid that it will greatly damage the hearts of the people." ”
"Shhh Liu Xie frowned and said, "Then let him grow step by step?" ”
Hearing Liu Xie's words, both of them were silent.
The three of them thought about it for a long time in the room, but they did not come up with a foolproof solution, but a sense of fear rose.
Looking at Li Huiyi, he acts in a low-key manner and has never shown his feet, which can be described as impeccable.
"Alas!" Liu Xie sighed and said: "Since there is no way, the widow can only take the risk and fight, even if he loses some people's hearts, the widow is still a big man." ”
Dong Chengdao: "Your Majesty, you must not. ”
Yang Biao said: "Yes, in case the two of them are defeated by Li Huiyi again, I am afraid that the gains will outweigh the losses." ”
Liu Xie said helplessly: "Then you say, what should you do with the widow." ”
In a hurry, Yang Biao suddenly said: "Your Majesty, do you remember that Li Huiyi was hunted down and killed by the family back then?" ”
Answering the question, Liu Xie said unhappily: "The widow was young at that time, and he seemed to remember that there was such a thing, so what does it have to do with the current matter?" ”
Yang Biao said: "Your Majesty, don't worry, please listen to the minister, when Li Huiyi was hunted down by the family, his wife gave birth to a daughter. ”
"In order to stabilize the hearts of the people, his wife claimed to have a son, and then Li Huiyi returned and announced his identity as a daughter, which was a sensation at the time."
"There is not much difference in age between Your Majesty and her daughter, why not issue an edict to let her enter the palace and become the queen."
"When Your Majesty and Li Huiyi get married, you can borrow his hand to conquer all the princes as soon as possible, and then summon him to the palace, enter the court as an official, and gather the power of the ministers, and he will be killed."
"Hmm." Liu Xie's eyes rolled, calculating the gains and losses. "Yang Aiqing's plan is indeed reasonable, but what if Li Huiyi ignores his daughter?"
Yang Biao said: "Your Majesty can rest assured, looking at Li Huiyi, he still pays more attention to family affection. ”
Liu Xie nodded: "Okay, then follow Yang Aiqing's method." ”
The three of them discussed for a long time, and finally came up with a plan, and Liu Xie's restless heart also calmed down a lot.
Time always rushes by, and in the blink of an eye, it is already night.
The Luoyang Palace, which has recovered a trace of vitality, is very lively at this time, and all the ministers are frequently toasting each other or talking about the past.
The wine in the glass can make people forget their troubles for a while, and it can also make people enter a sweet dream.
But there was one person who was out of step with this atmosphere, drinking by himself, and those who came forward to talk were all coldly glared away by him.
"Wine is good wine, but it's a pity that you can only drink it alone." Yan San shook his head and continued to pick up his wine glass.
"Well, why didn't Lu Bu come, I still want to fight him for three hundred rounds." At this time, Zhang Fei hugged the wine jar and suddenly sat down with a big grin.
Yan San glanced at him and said: "It's just you, there are still three hundred rounds of fighting, Lao Tzu can't hold out for ten rounds under him, and people now always like to talk big." ”
"Hmm!" Zhang Fei's eyes widened and he stood up suddenly, but then sat down slowly. "Your Majesty is here, I Lao Zhang will not bother with you, and tomorrow, I will personally come to the door to ask for advice." 21.
