Chapter 480: The Heart of Love
Qianqian, the fastest update of the latest chapter of Han Tianzi!
Hearing that Liu Xiu allowed him to go to Youzhou to recruit soldiers, Wu Han and Geng Yi were overjoyed, and the two of them intervened in the salute together, and said in unison: "The last general will not disgrace his mission!" ”
Liu Xiu glanced at the two of them and reminded meaningfully: "Be more careful, don't act recklessly, and think twice if you encounter resistance." ”
Wu Han and Geng Yi said: "Thank you for reminding you! ”
Leaving the palace, on the way to the barracks, Wu Han smiled meaningfully and asked: "Bo Zhao, you go back to Shanggu and see Wei Shun and Cai Chong, if the two insist on not borrowing soldiers, what should you do?" ”
Geng Yi did not answer Wu Han's question directly, but asked: "If Ziyan arrives in Jixian County and sees Miao Zeng, and Miao Zeng refuses to borrow troops, what will Ziyan do?" Wu Han and Geng Yi looked at each other for a moment, the corners of their mouths hooked, they laughed, and nodded Geng Yi with their fingers, and then, his eyes were shining, and he said word by word: "I am going to Jixian County, and I don't plan to keep Miao Zeng's living mouth, whether he is willing to borrow."
soldiers, still refusing to borrow soldiers. ”
Hearing this, the corners of Geng Yi's mouth twitched, and then he looked up and smiled. After laughing for a while, he said, "Yi also has this intention! ”
"Haha!" Wu Han laughed and said, "Coincidentally, you and I should go and have a drink!" ”
Geng Yi sighed lightly and said, "It's just that if you act like this, I'm afraid it will attract the king's dissatisfaction!" ”
Wu Han raised his eyebrows and said, "The king will not be dissatisfied. ”
"Oh? Why? Geng Yi asked puzzled.
Wu Han said meaningfully: "You and I proposed to go to Youzhou to borrow troops, why do you think the king has to think about it for so long?" ”
After he said this, Geng Yi also remembered that the king had indeed pondered for a long time at that time, so long that Geng Yi thought that the king was absent-minded and did not hear what the two of them said clearly. Curious, he asked, "Why?" ”
Wu Han smiled and said, "The king is thinking about Miao Zeng, Wei Shun, and Cai Chong, whether to kill them or not, and what the consequences will be after killing them." ”
"Oh?"
"From the moment the king agrees that you and I will go to Youzhou, it means that the king has made up his mind to put the three of them to death!"
Geng Yi looked at Wu Han in surprise, and didn't come back to his senses for a long time.
In his mind, although Wu Han is not a brave and unscrupulous reckless man, he is also an impulsive and irritable straight man, he did not expect that he knew the lord so thoroughly, or rather, his mind was so alert.
"If it is really as Ziyan said, then Ziyan can really impress Yi!" Geng Yi couldn't help but sigh.
"Haha!" Wu Han laughed twice, patted Geng Yi's shoulder, and said, "Let's go, let's go drink!" ”
What Liu Xiu thought in his heart was whether it was really like what Wu Han said, even Wu Han himself didn't know, he said this just to give Geng Yi a reassurance. Regarding the matter of Miao Zeng, Wei Shun, and Cai Chong, Wu Hanzeng specially went to Deng Yu for advice, and asked Deng Yu to help him analyze, if he really killed Miao Zeng, Wei Shun, and Cai Chong, what kind of consequences would it cause? Will Liu Xuan really be with the Lord
Gong tore his face and sent troops to attack Hebei.
Deng Yu replied that it was possible to tear his face with the lord, but it was not very likely that Liu Xuan would directly send troops to Hebei. It's not that Chang'an is too far away from Hebei to use troops, but Chang'an is now in chaos.
At present, Liu Xuan hardly deals with government affairs, and in the court, it is completely the powerful minister Zhao Meng who is in charge. Zhao Meng is a person who is vicious, narrow-minded, selfish, and covers the sky with one hand above the court.
Zhao Meng himself is already a big scourge, but what's even worse is that he is not the biggest scourge in the Imperial Court, there is also a faction, a large group of people, who can harm people more than Zhao Meng, that is the Green Forest Department.
At present, the Green Forest Department is still the largest faction in the Imperial Court, with heavy troops in hand, and the people in the Green Forest Department are all from reckless backgrounds, where will they govern the country and the country?
The green forest system headed by Wang Kuang, Zhang Wei and others caused chaos and atrocities, and the people were miserable.
In order to make money, the people of the Green Forest Department openly sell their officials, whether you are a landlord and squire, or a pawn of a peddler, even if you are the most humble merchant, as long as you have money, you can buy an official position in their hands.
If you have more money, you can buy a knighthood.
During the period when the imperial court was in Chang'an, Chang'an even circulated a ballad: raise under the stove, Zhonglang General; rotten sheep stomach, riding the captain; Rotten sheep's head, Guan Neihou.
Like Zhonglang General and Cavalry Captain, these are all pillars of the army and are the core backbone of an army, and although the Marquis of Guannei is lower than the Liehou, he also has a food leader.
However, such an important official position and title have been rotten in Chang'an, which shows how rampant the sale of officials and knights has reached at that time.
Under the rule of the first imperial court, as long as there is money, there is nothing that cannot be done, murder and arson can be atonemented with money, and official positions and titles can be purchased with money.
The imperial court has rotted to this point, it is even worse than the Xinmang imperial court, can the people of Chang'an, Feng Yi, and Fufeng Sanfu not complain!
As for what Liu Xuan is doing? He was also very busy, and he was busy entertaining the women in the harem every day.
Deng Yu judged that Chang'an did not dare to send troops to Hebei, and his basis was here.
Now, it is precisely because the court has a heavy army that the people of Sanfu dare not rise up, and once the court sends the army in their hands to Hebei, Sanfu will definitely be in chaos.
After listening to Deng Yu's analysis, Wu Han had a bottom in his heart, and he made up his mind to eradicate Miao Zeng, Wei Shun, and Cai Chong.
Wu Han and Geng Yi went north together, and after entering the boundary of Youzhou, the two went their separate ways, Wu Han went to Jixian County, and Geng Yi went to Fuyang, the county town of Shanggu.
After the two of them left Handan, Liu Xiu took the initiative to find Xie Bow, hoping that Xie Bow could write a letter to Miao Zeng, asking Miao Zeng to send Youzhou soldiers to assist him and pacify the thief army in Hebei. After listening to Liu Xiu's words, Xie Gong couldn't help but shake his head and smile bitterly, and said helplessly: "King Xiao, don't hide it, the lower officials have written several letters to Miao Zhou Mu, asking Miao Zhou Mu to send troops to quell the rebellion
, all refused. ”
The relationship between Xie Gong and Miao Zeng is very ordinary, to be more precise, there is a big knot between the two, as well as a competitive relationship. Xie Gong and Miao Zeng were both from the Green Forest Department, and they were both promoted by Liu Xuan and rose from the bottom.
However, Xie Gong's career has always been smoother than Miao Zeng, and he has won Liu Xuan's favor, and he was later promoted to Shang Shuling by Liu Xuan, which really made Miao Zeng red.
This time, Miao Zeng was appointed by Liu Xuan to go to Youzhou to serve as the state pastor, which can be regarded as a salted fish turned over, and his official position is no longer under the bow, and the last time he is also on an equal footing, which makes Miao Zeng quite angry.
Xie Gong and Liu Xiu sent troops to pacify the thief army in Hebei, but it was unfavorable for the division, Miao Zeng knew about it, and received a letter from Xie Gong, asking him to send Youzhou soldiers to help him pacify the thief army, Miao Zeng scoffed.
You Jizhou thieves are everywhere, what does it have to do with my Youzhou? Now you ask me for help, I will come out, and you will receive the credit, how can there be such a good thing in the world? Miao Zeng refused Xie Gong's request for help.
Regarding this matter, Xie Gong didn't say anything, and he was extremely angry in his heart, but he really couldn't do anything about Miao Zeng.
After all, Miao Zeng is no longer what it used to be, and is now the pastor of Youzhou, who is more than the princes, and in modern terms, the state pastor is the highest-level local head who gathers the military and political power of several provinces.
After listening to Xie Gong's reply, Liu Xiu sighed lightly and said, "If Youzhou can send troops to reinforce Hebei, why worry about the thief army not being destroyed?" ”
The speaker had no intention, but the listener had a heart, Xie bowed's mind moved, his eyes suddenly lit up, and he said: "If King Xiao orders and orders Miao Zhou Mu to send troops, maybe it will work!" ”
Liu Xiu rubbed his chin, thought about it for a long time, and seemed to be reluctant to say, "Try it!" I'm afraid that I, King Xiao, won't be able to adjust him to Miao Zhoumu! ”
Xie bowed and thought about it, and immediately became deflated again. His Majesty sent Miao Zeng to Youzhou to take up his post, the purpose was to deal with Liu Xiu, Liu Xiu went to borrow troops from Miao Zeng, and Miao Zeng was able to borrow it! The hope that had just been gasped in my heart was shattered in an instant. Now Xie Bow is really anxious, mainly because the rebel army here in Hebei is indeed too rampant, take the Qingcalf Army as an example, a few days ago, he and Liu Xiu joined forces to send troops, and finally expelled them from Wei County
, Only a few days later, the Qingcalf army fled back to Wei County from Hanoi County, and they were still burning, killing and looting everywhere, making Wei County homeless and the people were struggling.
Now in Xie Gong's heart, Liu Xiu has retreated to the secondary enemy, and the primary enemy is the rebel armies in the Hebei region, which numbered as many as millions.
He took a deep breath and said, "King Xiao, Xia Guan has formulated a few strategies against the Qingcalf Army, I wonder if King Xiao is willing to give you some advice?" ”
Liu Xiu smiled: "Please take it to me." ”
Xie Gong picked up a few rolls of bamboo slips on the table and handed them to Liu Xiu. The latter picked up a bamboo slip, unfolded it, and looked at it closely. This bamboo slip is mainly written on the joint defense strategy. Between villages and towns, strong men are gathered, militia groups are formed, and people are trained by the government, and armor and weapons are distributed.
At the very least, the villages and towns can have a certain ability to protect themselves, and it also saves the officers and soldiers in the cities from being led by the nose by the thieves, running around, and they are so tired that they can't even see the shadow of the thieves.
After seeing this bamboo slip plan, Liu Xiu nodded again and again, and couldn't help but praise: "Okay!" He put down the bamboo slip, looked at Xie Bow, and asked with a smile: "The joint defense strategy in this is what Xie Shangshu thought of?" ”
Xie bowed and said with a dry smile: "The strategy of the lower officials, there are many loopholes, and I also ask King Xiao to give advice!" ”
Liu Xiu took a deep look at Xie Bow, didn't say anything, put down the bamboo slips, and picked up the second volume, the strategy here is to focus on attacking.
According to the route of the Qingcalf Army's repeated invasions of Wei County, Xie Gong focused on writing several offensive focuses. The Qingcalf Army has several important strongholds in Wei County, which can also be said to be a springboard for entering Wei County from Hanoi County, instead of chasing the Qingcalf Army and being led by the nose by the other party, it is better to directly attack their stronghold, cut off its retreat first, and trap the enemy in Wei
County.
Seeing Liu Xiu looking at it, he gradually frowned, and Xie Gong asked a little nervously, "King Xiao thinks this plan is not appropriate?" ”
"Although this plan is good for trapping the enemy in Weidi, I am worried that the thief army will fight the trapped beasts and kill the people of Weidi, so that the people of Wei will suffer!" Liu Xiu said quietly.
Hearing this, Xie Gong also gasped, nodded again and again, and responded: "King Xiao is very pointed, ...... It's the negligence of the lower officials. As he spoke, he stepped forward and made a gesture to take the bamboo slips and burn them.
Liu Xiu waved his hand at him, smiled slightly, and said, "Xie Shangshu's strategies, I plan to take them back, and then think about them carefully, I don't know if Xie Shangshu is inconvenient to put me here temporarily." ”
These strategies were originally Xie Qian's ideas, but they were not feasible, and he himself did not know whether there were any omissions.
Just like Liu Xiu proposed just now, if the Qingcalf Army is trapped in Wei County and fights the trapped beasts, how many people will suffer in Wei County? He didn't think of that.
He smiled at Liu Xiu and said, "King Xiao is too polite, King Xiao wants to see it, just take it all away." ”
In these bamboo slips, there are all the ideas of Xie Gong, he is not only willing to show himself, but also willing to let himself take it, study it carefully, Xie Gong's mind is really broad. Thinking of this, Liu Xiu had a heart of love for talent again, and suddenly asked: "Xie Shangshu thinks that the situation in Chang'an is now?" ”
