Chapter 14: Layout (14)
Otherwise, what else can I do, this time, it is really Xie An who can't protect Liu Yu, because if Xie An insists on protecting it, he is likely to put himself in it.
Don't forget, Liu Yu is a general who holds military power, and Xie An is the de facto prime minister of the imperial court. The collusion between the courtiers and the generals outside is always the most taboo.
As for Liu Yu's recovery of Shandong and the defeat of the Yan army, of course, these are merits, but isn't there a saying that it is called atonement for sins, what about the merits you made, of course we remember, but you made such a big mistake, you can't ignore it, right? Well, exchanging merit for your life and sparing you the death penalty is a good thing to do, so that's it.
So Liu Yu came and went in the fire, and after ten years of struggle, now it has come to naught.
Liu Yu didn't say anything, just silently returned to Jingkou to farm, but Liu Gao's anger was not enough, and he went to Xie An's mansion to quarrel with Xie An, but it was difficult to change the ending, Liu Gaoyi was angry, and he also resigned and went home.
These news, of course, Duan Ye knows now, and Duan Ye will also tell Liu Yiru tactfully and accurately, after all, it is her own brother. What's more, the correspondence between the two has never been broken, so it is better to show it frankly.
Liu Yiru almost burst into tears, it was obvious that she felt worthless about what happened to her brother, but what could she do? Now she is thousands of miles away, although she is in Jiangnan, there are still some old acquaintances, old relatives and friends, but far water can't quench the thirst at all). This time, his younger brother Liu Yu provoked someone who couldn't be messed with, and his luck was too bad, and he really didn't have the power to return to heaven.
Now, the only thing she can rely on, and the only thing she can grasp, is Duan Ye in front of her, she said quite nervously: "My lord, my lord, you promise me, you promise me that I will be careful in everything in the future, and I will never take risks!"
Although Duan Ye didn't understand why Liu Yiru suddenly said this, he still nodded affirmatively and said, "Don't worry, I will definitely not joke with my life, future, and the future of our entire Liangzhou."
"Hmm!" Liu Yiru nodded heavily, and then buried her head in Duan Ye's arms, only here could she get temporary peace.
……
Fu Rui's line is now located in Luoyang.
After all, Fu Rui is now nominally the Julu Gong of the Great Qin Empire, the general of the Eastern Expedition, although it is said that by playing brotherhood, Fu Rui deceived an elite army from Fu Hong, and in the war between the two Huai last year, Fu Rui showed his own power, once the army came to Jiankang City, the sea was shaken, and Fu Rui became famous all over the world and became a prince who was truly recognized by all parties in the world.
But after many considerations, Fu Rui still confirmed that he does not have the conditions to be completely ** at present, and Fu Hong in Guanzhong has also stabilized the situation, Yao Chang and his son have been compressed in a corner of Longyou, Duan Ye occupies Liangzhou again, and firmly forms a bird's-eye view of Yao Chang, and the western front is temporarily worry-free for Fu Hong. And Fu Xu, Fu Bao brothers and sisters, one guards Shanxi, one guards the two rivers, one is rich, full of food and soldiers, one is dangerous, and the place is used, from the map, it can be said that Fu Hong's territory has now formed a long tongue from south to north, and the seven-inch position of this snake, but there is such a dangerous pass as Hangu Pass, Fu Rui thought to himself, although his behavior is passable, but everyone knows what is going on, so I am afraid that it is not cheap morally.
Therefore, Fu Rui and Chu Yu discussed again and again, and decided to continue to be a vassal to Fu Hong first, defend Henan as Fu Hong's younger brother, use Henan as a base, and then plan for the future.
It happened that Zhai Bin, the king of Ding Ling, announced that he was willing to surrender, on the premise that Fu Hong forgave him for his sins of attacking Fu Hong in the past, and for Ding Lingren, he did not listen to the announcement, and also gave appropriate supplies of war horses, weapons, grain and grass every year.
Obviously, Zhai Bin must be in trouble, so he chose to surrender when he was not very advantageous. But at such an extraordinary moment, it must be a good thing for someone to surrender, and Zhai Bin's conditions seem unacceptable.
But you didn't surrender, you can ask for a lot of money. When you surrender, it's not up to you.
Therefore, after Fu Rui pretended to ask Fu Hong, he accepted Zhai Bin's surrender with a big thorn, and did not wait for Fu Hong's reply at all, and directly used his own identity to seal Zhai Bin as Ding Lingshan Yu, the Marquis of Henan, and the general of Zhenbei. Logically speaking, Fu Hong granted Fu Rui the authority to fake the festival before he set out on the expedition, so it makes sense for him to be so entitled.
Of course, Zhai Bin also gladly accepted it, and immediately announced that he would change his banner and change his clothes, and for a while, the number of Fu Rui people was nominally more than 100,000, and the world was shocked.
But Fu Rui actually has an indescribable depression in her heart, and that is where she is staying now.
In fact, if it was possible, Fu Rui really didn't want to stay in this place in the Central Plains.
Although the Central Plains Central Plains, as the name suggests, the Central Plains is located in the four directions and can be in line with the whole situation of the world. However, it sounds good, and the peaceful era is not bad, but when it comes to troubled times, it will be very tricky.
Since the Central Plains is a place that extends in all directions, it is the hub of the four directions. It is very convenient to go from the Central Plains to the surrounding areas, and from the surrounding areas to the Central Plains. Then the situation in the Central Plains is closely related to the surrounding area. The Central Plains affairs must involve the Quartet; If there is something in the Quartet, it will affect the Central Plains. The Central Plains must be stable, and the Quartet can be stable; If the Central Plains is chaotic, the square will inevitably fall apart.
However, at the beginning of the chaos in the world, because the Central Plains could be attacked on all sides, the centrifugal force of the collapse of the four sides was enough to tear apart the situation in the Central Plains, and make the Central Plains a turbulent meeting place. The turbulent torrent was enough to wash away any effort to hold the Central Plains. At this time, it is easy to rely on the dangerous land of the four corners of the mountains and rivers, but it is difficult to fight according to the four wars in the Central Plains. The so-called four corners of the land, of course, are Guanzhong, Shuzhong, Hebei, Jiangnan four places.
It's not that Fu Rui doesn't want to occupy these places, but helplessly, Guanzhong Shuzhong is still in the hands of his brother Fu Hong, and he has already reversed it once, and there is really no reason to rebel again. Shuzhong is still the unproductive Sima family as a puppet, a bunch of unproductive descendants of the scholar clan are in charge, and Hebei has been preempted by Murong Chui. Although Fu Rui also wanted that chair, it was a family matter, and the enmity with the Murong family was a national feud. Even if Fu Rui becomes the master of this world one day, he will never let go of the Murong family.
Therefore, Fu Rui was very entangled after taking advantage of the chaos to take Luoyang.
On the one hand, from a historical point of view, Luoyang has been used as the capital for many times, and it is one of the most famous cities in the world, with a prominent reputation, and it has the pattern and bearing that it should have to be the capital.
And in terms of geographical advantages, Luoyang is located in the Sanchuan River Valley, the Sanchuan River Valley is blocked by mountains on three sides, and the Yellow River is crossed in the north, which is almost a mountain and river blockage. Luoyang City is located in it. Surrounded by mountains, forming a dangerous obstacle; The river flows up and down the perimeter and can be connected with the outside. Around Luoyang, there are a large number of passes built along the mountains and rivers of the Sanchuan River Valley, which can be used as a defensive barrier. There is Tongguan in the west, and the danger of choking the letter; There is a tiger prison in the east, the passage of the Yellow River in Song Mountain; There is Yique in the south, which is stuck in the Yihe valley passage between Songshan and Xiong'er Mountain; In the north, there is the famous Mengjin, which chokes the crossing of the Yellow River. Generally speaking, the defense around Luoyang is self-contained, and it is not difficult to gain a foothold.
Moreover, Chu Yu also clearly told Fu Rui that it is often difficult to rely on the land of the four wars in the Central Plains, and it is often easy to rely on the four corners of the mountains and rivers. But having said that, from another point of view, in the stage of moving from chaos to order and from division to convergence, only those who go out of the four corners to fight for the Central Plains have the opportunity to fight for the world. If you still stick to a corner, it will be difficult to get rid of the hegemonic situation, such as a corner of Yizhou, which is very unproductive in Chu Yu's opinion.
Furthermore, why is it chasing the Central Plains instead of the South of the Yangtze River? The reason is very simple, in any global competition, the Central Plains is a battleground. Enterprising the world, the Central Plains is the place where it must be taken; Stabilize the world, and the Central Plains is the control center. Only the Central Plains is the real arena for the champions. Only the geographical conditions of the Central Plains extending in all directions can obtain the situation of controlling all directions.
But now, the most troublesome thing for Fu Rui is that it is too poor here! I don't know if I came, but I was scared when I came. Although Luoyang City has been in war for a long time, it has barely retained its past appearance, and Fu Rui didn't care about it at first. But when Fu Rui really wanted to put down roots here, he found that there was a big problem.
Fu Rui sent someone to collect taxes, but he couldn't collect them!
Fu Rui thought at first that the people he sent were not working well, but when Fu Rui sent his cronies over again, he found that it was not that they did not work hard, but that the people here were too poor to pay taxes.
Unless, if you want to take away their rations for their lives, but isn't that tantamount to forcing them to rebel?
For a while, Fu Rui actually fell into a state of helplessness. He discussed it with Chu Yu again and again, but there was no good way. After all, Chu Yu is a specialist, not an all-rounder, it is okay to engage in power schemes, but it is difficult to make money.
It seems that there is only one way to solve a problem, and that is to fight!
All means of peace cannot solve the problem, and what can be done without war?
The focus of this war is to choose the target to fight, Murong Chui has just unified Hebei, and his momentum is flourishing, so he can't be provoked. Jiangnan has just provoked it, and now although it is a mess, everyone hates not their opponents the most, but themselves.
If this time passes, they will definitely give up all existing contradictions, unite as one again, and fight to the death with themselves.
There were a lot of luck last time, but this time it may not be so lucky.
As for Chang'an, he is not ready to openly rebel. The opponent who thinks about it, can fight, plunder, and can solve the problem of being too poor, there is and only Huan Xuan of Jingzhou.
After all, Huan Xuan has just ascended the throne, and he still looks relatively weak, and persimmons have to be picked up softly.
