Weird Three Kingdoms

Chapter 1082 How should I choose?

As the saying goes in later generations, a penny is hard for a hero. In reality, no matter whether a hero or a hero, they all need to eat and drink, and in these daily lives, basically, they spend money every moment.

Liu Xie frowned.

Now, the treasury has no money, and the Shaofu has no money, and this year's autumn tax is still early, so it can't be said that it has been collected in advance, right?What's more, even if we have to collect it now, I am afraid that the people will not have money.

Then ask the nobles to raise some donations?
Who to look for?

There were no gentry in Bingbei, even if they are in Pingyang now, they are just some gentry who came from nearby places. If you want to talk about money, there is more or less, but no matter which one it is, it is impossible to transfer it. Bring all the wealth of a family with you...

Liu Xie was thinking, and Fei Qian was also thinking with lowered eyelids.

What do Fude Yangxiu and his gang want to do?
Stop this Yinshan Fengzen ceremony?

Well, unlikely.

This ceremony actually has some meaning for Fei Qian, but it is like icing on the cake. It is good to have it, but there is not much loss if it is not.

On the contrary, the meaning of Yinshan Fengchan to Liu Xie is not the same, it is much more important than Feiqian.Liu Xie ascended the throne at a young age, and spent a period of time without autonomy under Dong Zhuo, Wang Yun and others. Now such a ceremony of enshrining Zen is like announcing the beginning of Liu Xie's independence to the world. How can this not be allowed? Does Liu Xie pay attention?
Yang Xiu is a smart person, so it is impossible for him not to understand this.If you stop Liu Xie, it is tantamount to planting a nail in Liu Xie's heart, and you don't know when it will come out.

Therefore, it is unlikely that Yang Xiu wanted to stop the ceremony of enshrining the Chan in Yinshan Mountain, so why did Yang Xiu make such remarks?
Fei Qian thought about it quietly, and somehow had an answer in his heart.

Yang Xiu is indeed extremely intelligent, a simple sentence hides a series of traps.

It is true that Liu Xie has no money, so the only one who can contribute money at the moment, and is likely to be willing to contribute this money, is Fei Qian himself. This is naturally a very simple thing. Originally, Fei Qian also estimated that it might Paste some, just like raising these officials for a while, anyway, there are no big fish and meat, and it doesn't cost much to eat simple food.

But with the addition of Volde's words, it is completely different.

Not to mention other things, if you want to pay attention to it, how much will it cost for a single emperor's ceremonial guard?There is no definite number for the ostentation of the ceremonial book, it is simply a huge bottomless pit, and it is not enough to fill it in!

The emperor has three grades: Dajia, Fajia, and Xiaojia.For a major political event like Fengchan Yinshan, it is natural that at least the specification of the legal vehicle must be used. Among the legal vehicle ceremonial guards, the car that the emperor rides needs to be decorated with a lot of gold and silver. It is called a golden root car, and it has to drive six horses. In addition, it needs to be accompanied by five auxiliary cars, all of which drive four horses. In addition to these, another two-horse car is 36 times...

The big driver is even more incredible. According to the etiquette regulations, the number of horses in the big driver is astonishing, with as many as 81 chariots, and there are thousands of spare chariots and more than [-] guard cavalry.Moreover, on top of the emperor's vehicle, it is necessary to be guided by the minister, escorted by the general, and driven by the imperial servant who is in charge of the court's chariots and horses.

Xiaojia is more casual, only accompanied by the deacon Shangshu, and the number of subordinate cars is also smaller.

In addition to the requirements on the vehicle, there are also those who guide the driver, lead the driver, front and rear guards, front and rear advocacy bands, guards of honor, etc. These personnel artifacts also require a lot of money to prepare.

There are six large flags, twelve large dragon flags, wind, rain, thunder and lightning, and other kinds of flags, as well as guide cars, Jili cars, egret cars, Luan flag cars, Pi'e cars, Pixuan cars, etc. In addition, the band representing the majesty of the royal family uses snare drums, big drums, cymbal drums, festival drums, Yubao drums, flutes, long flutes, 笳 tubes, trombones, 筚篥, gold cymbals, silver files, etc...

This has to be filled in, how much money is enough?

The key is that so much money is filled in, whether you can hear a sound is a big problem.

When the money is spent, can these flags and guards of honor be turned into money again?Obviously impossible, most of the money is spent in vain and worthless.

So now, for this money, it is not possible for Fei to sneak out, nor is it to come out.

Giving this money is tantamount to self-mutilation, consuming a lot of economic strength, and then gaining nothing but some false fame. Under the changing situation, maybe it will be overshadowed by the surrounding princes .

It is also unjustifiable not to pay this money.Yinshan is on his own territory, whether it is the emperor Liu Xie or the officials, strictly speaking they are all guests, but he, the master, does not pay a single penny, which eventually leads to the end of the whole Fengchan behavior, so Liu Xie is thinking about it, Who is to blame?

Paying the money is tantamount to self-mutilation, and not paying the money means the end of the Zen ceremony. Of course, it may not only be the end of the ceremony at the same time, but there may be more things...

Fei Qian slightly turned his head and glanced at Yang Xiu.

Yang Xiu looked like a normal person, sitting with his eyes on his nose, his nose and his mouth, and he was calm and steady.

Fude is just a pawn, such a one-step three-step strategy is probably impossible to come up with, and in terms of the current state, the weaker he is, the better it is for the Yang family, so besides Yang Xiu, others also This strategy will not be calculated.

So how should we deal with it?

Fei Qian pondered in his heart.

Therefore, in the hall, there was a strange silence at this moment, only the sound of breathing was heard, but no one spoke.

After a while, Liu Xie looked at Fei Qian and said softly: "This...what does Fei Aiqing think about this matter?"

Hearing Liu Xie's voice fell, Yang Xiu's expression like a wood carving moved slightly, and the hidden smile between his brows and eyes disappeared quickly.

As Yang Xiu expected, Liu Xie would eventually ask Fei Qian for help.

The emperor was young and his temperament was uncertain, so it was the best time.For a half-grown child of this age, when he gets well, he is naturally very good, but when he is bad, he is also so bad that people hate him to the bone.Yang Xiu was born in the Yang family of Hongnong. I don't know how many people have met such a person in the family, but of course he knows the mystery.

If Liu Xie tells Liu Xie something wrong about Fei Qian, Liu Xie may not be willing to listen, but if Liu Xie already has some grievances in his heart, then a little more teasing, maybe it will be like an avalanche...

And now, is the beginning of the gap.

Yang Xiu stared at Fei Qian from the corner of his eye, and thought in his heart, General Fei Ziyuan who conquered the west, in such a situation, how do you choose?
....................................

At this moment, Cao Cao, who is far away in Xuzhou, is also facing a very difficult choice.

In front of the big tent, there was a man who looked like a general kneeling. His helmet had been removed, and his hair soaked in sweat and dust hung down, looking very embarrassed.

"Zi Lian!" Cao Cao shouted angrily, "Since you know that the soldiers in Qingzhou are wild and unruly, why didn't you take strict precautions and stop them, so that such a big thing happened! Dongping and Fan County, even went down more than ten Wubao, and the places they passed were chickens and dogs. Don't stay! Zilian, you have got good soldiers!"

Speaking of this matter, Cao Cao didn't know whether to be happy or sad.

A few days ago, Cao Hong took the Qingzhou soldiers to the surrounding area to raise food and grass, and indeed said that if someone did not cooperate, he could take some necessary measures, but Cao Cao did not expect that the hungry Qingzhou soldiers would be released as if they had no reins Like a husky, even Cao Cao felt a little scared when he became crazy.

In Dongping and Fan County, there are more than ten large and small Wubao in the surrounding area, involving tens of thousands of people, and they were all captured by the Qingzhou soldiers who had tasted the sweetness. Those who were originally in the Wubao, Naturally, most of them were killed, and after taking the food and grass, they burned the matter...

The problem of food and grass was indeed temporarily resolved, but the massacre of all the rural nobles in the two counties, Hao You, was not the result Cao Cao wanted to see.

Killing soldiers and people is not a problem most of the time, just like when Huangfusong and others killed or drowned all the [-] Yellow Turban Army, there was no one, or no sons of the gentry He would stand up and accuse Huangfusong and others of being cruel, and even compose some songs to praise Huangfusong and others, but when Dong Zhuo sent Xu Rong to kill Li Min, the leader, someone immediately began to say that Dong Zhuo was cruel and easy to kill. Human nature is like this, when Dong Zhuo killed Yuan Kai, there was an uproar...

The same is true for Cao Cao in Xuzhou.

Attacking Xuzhou Mu Taoqian is not a big deal in the eyes of most gentry children.

Anyway, isn't it just that the princes are fighting each other, and when the result of the competition between the two sides comes out, then naturally, no matter whether it is Tao Qian or Cao Cao, this piece of the countryside still needs these gentry tyrants to assist in local management and government affairs.

So some time ago, when Cao Cao led the troops to attack Xuzhou, these gentry nobles didn't pay much attention to it, and they didn't even think that these Qingzhou soldiers under Cao Cao would be so cruel, and they didn't have much defense, which led to Qingzhou being attacked within a few days. The soldiers were like locusts, sweeping Dongping and Fan counties.

Cao Hong put his head on the ground and said: "...a... dereliction of duty, please punish..." Cao Hong also knew that the matter had become serious, so he came here with a burden, and he didn't argue too much after hearing Cao Cao's angry reprimand.

Cao Hong did not expect this matter to turn into such a situation.

Firstly, the matter progressed too fast, and Cao Hong didn't react for a while, and it was already corrupted. Secondly, Cao Hong was also aware of the fact that there was no food in the army, so when a large number of food and grass were transported When I came, I was in a happy mood and didn't think much about it.

In addition, Cao Hong actually prefers Aduwu, so under the combined effect of several aspects, when Cao Hong wakes up from the carloads of various gold and silver treasures, he will go out as a striker to sweep Qingzhou soldiers had already searched the two counties clean, and came back to ask if they wanted to drive to the next county, which suddenly made Cao Hong feel that something was wrong...

It's a pity that it's too late, and the severed head can't grow back.

Cao Cao turned his head slightly and glanced at Wei Kai who suggested to send troops out to borrow food, but saw that Wei Kai was sitting upright, like a wood carving.

Cao Cao gritted his teeth involuntarily, and his cheeks twitched twice.

It would be unreasonable to say that Wei Ke was to blame for this matter.

The decider is Cao Cao himself, and the executor is also Cao Cao's relative Cao Hong. Wei Ke simply made a suggestion, and the rest of the things were all done by Cao Cao's side. Moreover, Wei Ke really only said to catch one or two models. To make an example to the monkeys, he didn't say that he wanted to slaughter all the Wubao around the county town. No matter what, Wei Ke couldn't be responsible for this.

However, Cao Cao felt faintly in his heart that this incident seemed to be somehow related to Wei Ke...

But this will be left for later, and a choice must be made right now.

The gentry are all grudges, it is impossible to say that they killed the gentry Haoyou in Fan County, Dongping, and the children of the gentry in other places would slap the left cheek and hand the right cheek, and happily sent up the clean neck, so if Cao Cao didn’t do it If you don't give an explanation, then you will inevitably become the descendant of the inhuman eunuch party in the minds of the Xuzhou gentry. Whether it is a temporary business loan or ruling the local area, I am afraid that it will be very difficult.

But if you want to deal with it, how can you deal with it?

Handing over his brother to let the Xuzhou gentry vent their anger?

Or send out the Qingzhou soldiers who were finally pinched in their hands?
For a while, Cao Cao also had a hard time making a choice.

As for Wei Ke at the side, although he showed no expression on the surface, his heart was churning endlessly.

Cao Cao's desire to break free from Yuan Shao's control is actually not difficult to guess, but the problem is that Yuan Shao is just a fool, and he will be the last to know until the last moment?
Cao Cao was able to take office in Dongjun, who did he rely on?Without the soldiers and horses supported by Yuan Shao, would Cao Cao have gained a firm foothold in Yanzhou?If Yuan Shao hadn't endorsed Cao Cao, would Cao Cao, the eunuch of the eunuch, be looked at differently?

Wei Ji came to Cao Cao's place, on the one hand, because there were indeed too many people on Yuan Shao's side, and there was no suitable position, and on the other hand, he was entrusted by Yuan Shao to "assist" Cao Cao.But now Cao Cao's ambitions are obviously too big, and he wants to break away from Yuan Shao's invasion of Xuzhou, so of course he is not favored by Wei Qi.If Cao Cao really took control of Xuzhou and stayed here, it would mean that Yuan Shao lost his flank guards, and he would inevitably fall into the unfavorable situation of being attacked by both Gongsun Zan and Yuan Shu.

Cao Cao can only be valuable to Yuan Shao if he stays in Yanzhou, and Wei Ke can only fulfill Yuan Shao's entrustment if Cao Cao stays in Yanzhou, so even if it is not because of the recklessness of Qingzhou soldiers this time, Wei Ji will think of other things Method……

Wei Ji peeked at Cao Cao from the corner of his eye, and thought to himself, Cao Mengde, governor of Yanzhou, in such a situation, how do you choose?
