Han Dao world

Chapter 228
As soon as the edict came out, Zhao Wen and Yang Biao received the news before Dong Cheng left Anyi City.

They sighed at each other, feeling very complicated.

On the one hand, they all felt that Shi Sun Rui's move was reckless.Obviously they could go to the memorial to ask for an imperial edict first, and then accept Fan Xian's surrender, but knowingly committed the crime, there was no reason for them to want to talk.

On the other hand, they also knew that what the emperor did seemed to be harsh, and he directly demoted Shi Sun Rui to the rank of Marquis of the Northern Army, which actually gave Shi Sun Rui a chance to stand up.

Hou Zhi of the Northern Army, with six hundred stones, originally only supervised and led the Fifth School of the Northern Army.Now that the situation has changed, the emperor intends to expand the Northern Army, and then handed over the Northern Army to Shi Sun Rui's command, which shows that his trust in Shi Sun Rui is not fading.

As long as Shi Sunrui can seize the opportunity and train the Northern Army with all his heart, he will have the opportunity to make meritorious service in the future.

The emperor dismissed Sun Rui, not so much as punishing Sun Rui for resisting the edict, but as a counterattack against the Taiwei's soldiers.

The emperor did not directly veto their request, but dismissed Sun Rui, who was most suitable to be the captain of the army. When they find the next suitable candidate, I don't know when it will be.

Zhao Wen was silent for a while, then suddenly said: "Wen Xian, Your Majesty didn't say anything before, did you just wait for this moment?"

Yang Biao smiled wryly.

He also has such doubts, but it is too late to say these now.

"Zirou, the heart of a king is like an abyss, don't speculate, you and I do what we should do, and it's enough to be worthy of our hearts."

-

Shi Sun Rui received the imperial edict, and immediately handed over Wei Wei's seal and ribbon, and handed over the command of Wei Wei's battalion to Dong Cheng.

Dong Cheng was both excited and uneasy.

Shi Sunrui, the Weiwei, is not an ordinary Weiwei, he is supported by military exploits.In the Battle of Huayin, the scholar Sun Rui faced Li Jue and his son head-on. His courage was irrefutable, and his ability to command troops was even more unmatched by him.

Changing generals just before the battle, if the officials and soldiers of the Weiwei camp refuse to accept and make trouble on purpose, it will embarrass him.

Facing the calm Shi Sun Rui, Dong Cheng was cautious, as if the one who made the mistake was not Shi Sun Rui, but himself.

In contrast, Xu Huang was very calm and didn't see too many emotions.

"Gongming is a young man who is promising, has combat experience, and is familiar with the situation. If the general is unclear, you can ask him." Shi Sunrui said to Xu Huang again: "It is a blessing in life to meet the Ming Lord. Gongming, work hard!"

Xu Huang bowed and saluted, and then proposed to send someone to urge Fan Xian to come out of the dock to surrender and end the war.

Sun Rui agreed, and immediately arranged for someone to contact Fan Xian.

Knowing that Sun Rui was dismissed by the emperor because he accepted his request to surrender, Fan Xian was so frightened that he didn't dare to neglect him, so he immediately went out of the dock and surrendered.

This opportunity was won by Shi Sunrui with his wealth.Now that scholar Sun Rui has been dismissed, if the emperor changes his mind due to delay, no one will stand up for him.

Fan Xian knelt down in front of Shi Sun Rui, and thanked him again and again.

Sun Rui asked Dong Cheng to escort Fan Xian's family back to Anyi first, and commanded the Northern Army to take over Wubao, and counted and recorded the property.

With these properties, especially the more than [-] shi of grain hidden in the dock, the crisis of the court's food shortage is temporarily over.

-

The news that Fan Xian surrendered and Shi Sun Rui was dismissed soon spread throughout Anyi.

For a while, the big family in Anyi had mixed feelings.

On the one hand, Fan Xian and Wei Gu only saved their lives and confiscated all their property. The heavy loss was enough to make them vigilant and dare not act rashly again.

On the other hand, the fact that Fan Xian and Wei Gu were still alive made them feel that the court still had a trace of goodwill and that they hadn't killed them all.

In this case, the vast majority of people wisely chose to surrender.

Even if he is unwilling, he can only go into hibernation temporarily at this moment, so as not to catch up with Wei Gu and Fan Xian.

They may not be so lucky to find ministers who are willing to intercede for them.

The big families who were originally on the sidelines scrambled to express their support for the imperial court and were willing to contribute money and food.Those officials in counties and counties who were suspected of corrupting ink also returned the stolen goods one after another and offered compensation.

An endless stream of convoys appeared on the official road, transporting carts of food and supplies to Anyi.

Xun Yu, the prefect of Hedong, arranged for people to receive contributions in an orderly manner.

When Shi Sunrui himself returned to Anyi City, Anyi had already changed his appearance, everywhere was filled with the lively atmosphere of the approaching New Year, and there was no trace of chill.

Liu Xie met Sun Rui immediately.

-

After a few days of not seeing each other, Liu Xie and Shi Sunrui have a new understanding of each other.

"Don't be surprised by favor or disgrace, you are worthy of being a minister." Liu Xie cut to the chase and gave Shi Sun Rui a very high evaluation.

After Dong Cheng and Xu Huang came back, they told him about Shi Sunrui's performance, and he roughly guessed what Shi Sunrui was thinking, and also affirmed his original analysis.

Shi Sunrui resisted the imperial edict not for himself, he just felt that the result was the most reasonable and beneficial.

It not only gave enough warning to the people of Hedong, but also did not stir up civil uprisings and lead to an indefinite stalemate in the war.

Of course there are people who pay the price, one is himself, and the other is ministers and ministers who want to restore the command of the Taiwei, such as Yang Biao.

You can say that he is self-righteous, but you cannot doubt his character and morality.

Although this gave Liu Xie a headache.

"Your Majesty's words are serious, and I'm ashamed and dare not take them." Shi Sunrui bowed his hands and made a big salute.

Liu Xie stretched out his hand to help Sun Rui up.

"How many people are available in the Wei and Fan trilogy?"

"More than five hundred people." Shi Sun Rui then said: "I think that instead of recruiting these people, it is better to choose from the common people who applied. It can not only win the hearts of the people, but also get their deadly power. The only shortcoming is that it consumes It will take a little longer, and it cannot be completed before spring plowing."

Liu Xie looked at Shi Sun Rui and smiled.

"It seems that you have also heard that I am going to conquer the Huns."

"Yes, I object." Shi Sunrui couldn't see a smile on his face, his eyes were serious, even a little dignified. "Wei Huo Jiechen, your Majesty is the king, how can we say the same thing. What if something unexpected happens, what is the world like?"

Liu Xie had been prepared for a long time, and he smiled and said nothing.

If Shi Sun Rui had been so willing to compromise, he would not be what he is now.

He respects Shi Sunrui's character, but that doesn't mean he will definitely accept Shi Sunrui's opinion.

Seek stability in everything, there is no chance for him to counterattack.

This generation is old, let them grow old with dignity.

"The Huns are only suffering from scabies, which is nothing to worry about. If you can fight, you can fight. If you can't fight, I won't force you." Liu Xie raised his hand and pressed it lightly, signaling Sun Rui to stay calm. "I'm worried about Yuan Shao, do you have any countermeasures?"

Sun Rui thought for a moment. "Both Shangdang and Hanoi have arrangements. Your majesty is only concerned about Taiyuan. According to my humble opinion, your majesty might as well patrol Taiyuan, and then appoint ministers to go to Youzhou to restrain Yuan Shao so that he can't look west. At least he can win one or two. years."

"Who can leave the town of Youzhou?"

"So the son of Great Sima Yu served Liu He."

Liu Xie was stunned for a moment. "Is Liu He still alive?"

He has some impressions of Liu He, but that was before the first year of Chuping.He hadn't heard from Liu He in the past few years, and he thought Liu He was dead.

"Liu He is under Yuan Shao's command."

Liu Xie looked at Shi Sun Rui with a strange look.

Liu He is under Yuan Shao's command. If you recommend him to go out of Youzhou, don't you give Youzhou to Yuan Shao?

　On the last day of August, ask for a monthly pass, don't waste it.
