Chapter 1 Either I am the enemy
In the first month of the first year of the first peace, Yanbei chose an auspicious day, and Liaodong County sacrificed to the ancestors, and crowned the word Zhongqing. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
After that, the magistrates of the county ascended the platform to worship the sages and gods of the four directions to pray for a good year. Before the agricultural time came, those who were above the adult children in the county were ordered to enter the hall and study the "Five Classics"; When the inkstone is released, the young children in the county are ordered to enter the primary school and learn the chapters. Women's red weaving, combined with ointment, making grass life pills.
When the land is a little softer, Tiewu will set up Yan's manor next to it, and build houses and open horse farms.
In the middle of the first month, urge the field soldiers and the people to plant spring wheat and peas in the fields in rotation. Make fish sauce, meat sauce, and clear sauce to make people brew wine, prepare for drinking, and sacrifice in summer to early autumn.
Liaodong County, a group of happy harvest years.
If there is no war and no natural disasters this year, what awaits Liaodong County will be an unprecedented bumper year. There are more than three or five million stones of grain in a county, but the county government collects hundreds of stones of grain and grass, not to mention Liaodong County in Youzhou, even in the Central Plains, such a scene only appeared more than ten years ago.
Thirty taxes one, if you want to collect millions of stone grain, you need to grow 30 million stone grain in one county...... Can you really grow so much food, and someone will starve to death?
Historically, there has never been a shortage of people who have starved to death in various parts of the Han Dynasty, especially in the border counties. This situation has occurred from time to time even in the Central Plains, and in recent years, wars have been raging in various places, which has caused hungry and displaced people to spread everywhere.
Even if this country is still very strong and still has the ability to send tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of troops at any time, it is already extremely weak.
It was also from this year that the imperial court letters could only be transmitted through Guanzhong Kansai. Wang Kuang's soldiers and horses blocked the revolving gate pass, Yizhou Zhanglu closed the pass, and the Qinling Mountains blocked the north and south...... The world is falling apart.
Youzhou, Jixian County, State Pastoral Mansion.
However, Yanbei, who had returned to Liaodong for more than ten days, was urgently summoned to the state capital by a letter from Liu Yu, waiting for him to be a decisive letter.
"Zhongqing, take a look."
Under the hall in the house, it was full of Youzhou herdsmen engaged in the officials, people thought that Yanbei should be arrogant when he re-entered the hall this time, but he didn't want to be more humble, first bowed to Liu Yu from afar, and then held the yak hair big bag to the group of people engaged in the salute with a smile in turn, and finally sat down upright Liu Gong bowed his head.
In terms of momentum and official position, now Yanbei, the general of Duliao, is the number one strong general in the north, and the number of colonels and captains under his command is more than them; Many troops are armed, and the soldiers and horses of Liaodong County after the three battalions of Liao, Liyang, and Yuyang are all over Youzhou, numbering nearly 20,000, and this alone will overshadow everyone's edge.
However, Yan Bei's face became softer, and even made the Youzhou Zhuzhi have an illusion, as if Yan Bei, who was like a long knife out of the sheath in the past, was not today's general Duliao.
Yan Bei didn't know what was going on, but seeing that the faces of all the people present were solemn, he couldn't help but feel bad in his heart, and he picked up the gorgeous silk scarf on the case and looked at it, and it changed color in an instant.
"I heard that the rebel thief rose up and lived a virtuous life. In the past, Zhulu was in turmoil, and he rose up; Reckless and rebellious usurpation of the dynasty, Dou Rong was worried. Because of his loyal ministers, it is difficult for the society to be safe Yu had read Qin Ji, Zhao Gao was domineering and Li Si was rebellious, then one hundred and two Qin Guan ...... "This is a text, the more Yan Bei looks at it, the more frightened he becomes, and he directly skips the middle to look at the end, "The state and county should be all the horses, Chen Bing is ready to go, to save the general, and Kuang Sheji, to establish a virtuous name, so it is a book." Like a law! ”
Yan Bei put down the case, looked up and asked Liu Yu: "Liu Gong, who wrote this, I want your old man to go south to crusade against Dong Zhuo?" ”
"This is rebellion!" Liu Yu slowly said four words, looked at Yan Bei and said, "This is not written for Youzhou Mansion, this is for you, General Yan Zhongqing of Duliao." As for the person who wrote the letter, Bohai Yuan Benchu. ”
Written to me?
Yuan Shao's courage is not small! Bohai is too guarded, and General Duliao who dares to command the military affairs of Erzhou?
Yan Bei sneered in his heart, and asked Liu Yu with a silent frown on his face: "Does Liu Gong know, who else in the world has received such a document?" ”
"Hanoi Taishou Wang Kuang, Chen Liutai Shou Zhang Miao, Dongjun Taishou Qiao Mao, Yuan Benchu, Yuan Highway, and the Taishou of the Central Plains each compared themselves to the princes recruiting troops and horses. and Han Fu, whom you saved some time ago, also sent a letter to the old man, saying that a court envoy was detained by him, and Dong Zhuo wanted to summon the old man to the court and persuade the old man not to go to the Central Plains. Liu Yu's face was extremely angry, and he waved his arm and said: "They say that Dong Zhuo is plotting rebellion, isn't it a rebellion for them to raise troops without permission?" ”
"These people in the Central Plains, all of them don't know how to stop, Liaodong has only been living a good life for a few days, and they have to fight again." Yan Bei shook his head slightly, spread his hands and said to Liu Yu: "Liu Gong understands now, just say last year, you have a word, right, his subordinates led his troops south to clean up their good and bad, and it will be time to cross the Yellow River...... But now that something has happened, it's useless to be in a hurry, so think about how to deal with it. ”
Liu Yu looked at Yanbei for a moment, and suddenly seemed to be much older, and sighed: "The old man hasn't seen it clearly yet!" ”
Liu Yu was full of sorrow at this time. He thinks that Dong Zhuo respects the Han and also thinks that he respects himself. After all, Dong Zhuo's self-imposed official position has always been behind him. Dong Zhuo wanted to be promoted to the position of Tai Lieutenant, so he promoted Liu Yu to the position of Grand Sima, so he never thought of raising troops to enter Luoyang, and even forced Dong Zhuo to retreat.
At least what Dong Zhuo did in Luoyang was not a bad thing when it came to Liu Yu's ears.
No matter how bad the situation is, raising troops will only make it worse.
So he rejected Yanbei's proposal.
But now, he doesn't have troops, others rise, and it is even conceivable that so many people raise troops at the same time, even if Dong Zhuo is defeated, what good can the world end?
"Now, Zhong Qing, is there any way to stop them from raising troops?"
"Yes, it's just hard." Yan Bei sat up straight, held his knees and said to Liu Yu: "At present, the princes of the world are raising troops, all of them are in the land of Kanto, if I want to swallow the six states and set the world, it is impossible." ”
The princes from all over the country swarmed and recruited troops, and unless he had 100,000 soldiers and horses in his hands, he could not defeat the coalition of these young soldiers. Yan Bei arched his hand and said: "Now if you want to stop this dispute, Liu Gong, you can only unite with Dong Zhuo, the troops in the Guanzhong will go out of the Xuanmen Pass, and the subordinates will lead the troops from the rear...... However, this will inevitably make the south of the Yellow River belong to Dong Zhuo, are you sure that Dong Zhuo will not turn his face? ”
Anyway, Yanbei is not sure.
He couldn't figure out what Dong Zhuo thought, and what he did before and after, it was indeed okay to say that Dong Zhuo was rebellious, but it was okay to say that he was loyal to the Han family. Just because he wants to recruit Liu Yu into the imperial court to be a prince, Yanbei wants to praise him for his courage.
When the imperial concubine is Yuan Kui, what does it mean for him to let Liu Yu enter the imperial court as the imperial concubine at this time? It means that Dong Zhuo is going to kick Yuan Kui away.
The official position of Taifu is above the three dukes, and as the emperor's teacher, the emperor can directly assist the government when he is young. In other words, Dong Zhuo summoned Liu Yu to the court at this time to let him lead the world's government affairs.
Can Liu Yu not be moved?
Therefore, the character of Dong Zhuo is indeed not simple, and people have the ability to enter Beijing.
Yanbei's words made Liu Yu groan, is he sure that Dong Zhuo will not turn his face? Of course he didn't, no one was so sure. After a long time, Liu Yu sighed and said: "Dong Zhuo's fault is not in his generals, not in his auxiliary, nor in his abolition...... The mistake is that he is Dong Zhuo! ”
It was wrong for him to abolish the establishment, and it was also wrong for him to rehabilitate the party; It was wrong for him to lead the army into Beijing, and it was also wrong for him to be the consul in general affairs. Because he is Dong Zhuo, no matter what he does, it is wrong!
Yan Bei was silent, he felt that the only mistake was to do good things with the heart of being a bad person. People have already entered Luoyang, 200,000 soldiers are enough to sweep the world, not honestly thinking about how to change the dynasty, but want to be a generation of ministers, this person is not sick?
In the final analysis, Liu Yu is also determined, holding an acre and three points of land in Youzhou from beginning to end as if he was sitting and watching the spring breeze and autumn moon, and never thought of mixing into the chaotic situation in the Central Plains. This old man can be said to be a virtuous minister, but if he is an absolute loyal minister, he is a little too careless.
"Gong Liu, in the eyes of his subordinates, there are only two ways to go in Youzhou now." Yan Bei saw that Liu Yu couldn't come up with any good ideas, so he arched his hand and said: "Or, help the coalition army fight Dong Zhuo and advance into Luoyang; Or, help Dong Zhuo fight the coalition army and occupy the two states of Youji. There is no other way. ”
"Why do you have to go to war? Isn't Zhongqing's official position high enough? Liu Yu frowned, could it be that the warriors are all ordinary, and they must rely on combat to obtain meritorious services in order to satisfy their insatiable desires, "Could it be that as a loyal minister, you have never thought of supervising the military affairs of the two states of Youji and Ji and not interfering in the chaos?" ”
"Gong Liu, I know you think that this disaster will make the world worse no matter what, but do you think we have a better choice now?" Yan Bei spread his hands to help Liu Yu sort out his thoughts and said: "If you help Dong Zhuo, even if the Dong family turns its face in the future after defeating the coalition army, at least there are two states of Youji that can be defended according to the Yellow River; If you help the Yuan clan and defeat Dong Zhuo, the land of Kanto will be our allies. What if you don't help each other? ”
Yan Bei glanced at everyone present and smiled contemptuously, "Hehe, no matter who wins, in the future, it will be indispensable to turn around and clean up us." ”
At this time, no matter what righteousness is talked about, what is said to be loyal to the monarch and serve the country is over. Liu Yu still underestimated this dispute, what they snatched was the authority of the world, this kind of thing was either me or the enemy, who would talk about morality.
In Yanbei's opinion, whether it is the Yuan family, the Dong family, or those princes of the world, compared to Liu Yu, none of them can make him look good, they are not good people. Rather than letting them get the power of the world, it is better to take this opportunity to make the power of Youzhou bigger, and seek greater authority and prestige in the war.
Liu Yu looked at Yan Bei for a long time and didn't speak, and asked in a deep voice, "What is the situation in this world...... Is it really bad to this extent? ”
Yan Bei blinked.
