Han Dao world

Chapter 390

Knowing that Yuan Shao no longer acted unscrupulously with the edict, Liu Xie was a little relieved.

This shows that his efforts have paid off, Yuan Shao felt the pressure, and no longer felt that the world was at his fingertips.

With Yuan Shao like this, it is naturally more likely that other people will turn to the imperial court.In the near future, not only warriors like Zhao Yun will join the army, but also more and more scholars.

Of course, one cannot expect too much from the latter.

Before Wang Mang usurped the throne, he was also worshiped by scholars all over the world, just like a saint reborn.Once they found that Wang Mang could not meet their demands, these people immediately turned their faces.

Except for a very small number of people who are willing to sacrifice for their ideals, the vast majority of people study are still driven by interests.Once the interests fail, the ideal is worthless.

There is nothing wrong with people's pursuit of interests, but when they think of interests in their hearts, they shout ideals and pretend to be righteous, which is hypocritical.

Speaking of hypocrites, Liu Xie immediately thought of Yuan Shu, a real villain who is rare in this era.

He remembered that Yuan Shu proclaimed himself emperor in the second year of Jian'an.Strictly speaking, it is not to be called the emperor, but to be called the Zhong family.

Zhong is the second of the line, and the Zhong family calls themselves the second child.Who the boss is has been debated.

But it is a fact that Yuan Shu no longer has the imperial court returning east in embarrassment.

Now that he first killed Li Jue in Huayin, and then defeated Xianbei in Northern Xinjiang, does Yuan Shu still dare to turn his back on the imperial court and regard himself as the Zhong family?
"How did Yuan Shu react?"

"It's not known yet." Xun You laughed with a little disdain. "Yuan Shu's dude, you don't need to worry about it. The only ones under his command who can fight are the Sun family and his son. Now that Sun Ce is worshiped by the court, he has lost his strong support, and he is helpless.

Liu Xie thought for a while, and then said: "Is it possible for Yuan Shu to become a minister?"

Yang Xiu's heart moved, he secretly took a look at Liu Xie, and hesitated to speak.

Xun You's eyes flickered slightly. "Your Majesty wants Yuan Shu to fight Yuan Shao?"

The corners of Liu Xie's mouth twitched, and his brows frowned slightly. "The Yuan family's four generations and three princes were also important officials of the imperial court. It is also sad to suffer from Dong Zhuo's difficulties. If Yuan Shu can be called a minister, it is not impossible to inherit the Yuan family's blood."

He paused, and then said: "In terms of concubines, Yuan Shu is more suitable than Yuan Shao after all."

Xun You suppressed a smile.

This is not sympathy for the Yuan family, this is clearly an arrogance.Everyone in the world knows that Yuan Shu's only advantage is his son-in-law, but he attaches great importance to this, and has a grudge against Yuan Shao.

With the support of the imperial court, why didn't he slap Yuan Shao's face desperately?
It has to be said that this is a good way to divide the Yuan family and intensify conflicts.

"I think it's feasible," Xun You said.

This is indeed a good idea, there is no reason to refuse.

What's more, Yuan Shu's nephew Yang Xiu was still on the sidelines, so there was no reason not to give Hongnong Yang a face.

Jia Xu also agreed.This method is beneficial and cost-effective, but it can buy a lot of time for the court.

Seeing that both Jia Xu and Xun You nodded, Yang Xiu got up to speak. "The Master said: Prosper and destroy the country, follow the peerless world, lift up the rest of the people, and the people of the world will return to their hearts. Your Majesty's move, forgetting the mistakes and remembering the merits, is sincerely the benevolence of a wise king, and will surely win the hearts of the people in the Guandong."

Liu Xie smiled. "Since all the lords agree, then take back an edict and order Chen Gong to go to Shouchun. Dezu, you might as well send your greetings in writing, so that Yuan Shu can know my intentions."

There are two paths between public and private, we must let Yuan Shu know that if this fails, it is not because the imperial court is trying to kill them all, but because Yuan Shao is obstructing it.

Liu Xie can't guarantee whether Chen Gong's mission to Jizhou will make Yuan Shao stop his troops.But Liu Xie was still mentally prepared when Chen Gong and Yuan Shao met and even exchanged information.When this recovered edict was passed to Chen Gong, it was equivalent to being passed to Yuan Shao's ears.

Will Yuan Shao strike first and kill Yuan Shu directly?

All in all, it is impossible for the two brothers to reconcile.If Yuan Shao wanted to unify the Kanto region, he had to defeat Yuan Shu first.

Yang Xiu bowed to accept the order.

Xun You and Jia Xu inadvertently exchanged glances, feeling a little complicated.

The emperor's method is getting better and better.In the near future, perhaps they will not need to make suggestions.

After discussing Yuan Shao's matter, Liu Xie immediately talked about Cao Cao's matter.

Yuan Shao is about to go south to Yanzhou. Cao Cao's strength is limited, and he may not be Yuan Shao's opponent.No matter which way you look at it, the imperial court cannot remain indifferent and sit back and watch Yuan Shao defeat Cao Cao, take all Yanzhou, and point at Luoyang.

After some discussion, Xun You suggested meeting Cao Cao's request and giving him weapons and horses so that he could fight Yuan Shao.

The imperial court has only these.

Considering that Cao Cao actually only has the counties of Yingchuan and Chenliu in his hands, Liu Xie decided to wait for Cao Ang and others to arrive at the court, and then worship Xiahoudun or Xiahouyuan as Henan Yin, and include Henan into Cao Cao's theater of operations, so that Cao Cao has a greater advantage. Space.

If Cao Cao persisted for one more day, Yuan Shao's pace of annexing Kanto would be one step slower.

Just like Zang Hong sticking to Dongwuyang, making it difficult for Yuan Shao to move an inch.

All in all, Yuan Shao must not be allowed to live comfortably and go smoothly.

In the end, Liu Xie decided to give Xuzhou Mu Liu Bei an edict to conscript him into the court.

If Liu Bei is willing to come, everyone will be happy.If Liu Bei refuses to come, he has tried his best.

With Liu Bei's strength, it is difficult for him to make a difference in Xuzhou, but he is just a puppet of the Xuzhou clan.The Xuzhou clan wanted to surrender to Yuan Shao, but Liu Bei couldn't stop it.

-

After talking about the business, Liu Xie stayed for dinner, and finally invited Jia Xu to go for a walk to digest food, and Cai Yan, Pei Jun and others were not even brought along.

Seeing this situation, Jia Xu knew in his heart that the emperor had something extraordinary to say.

The two of them walked a hundred steps along the river bank, chatted some irrelevant gossip, and adjusted the atmosphere to a relaxed state.

"Sir, I have two ideas now, and I don't know which one is better. Can you help me, sir?"

"Don't dare, I am willing to do my best to present my foolish opinion."

Liu Xie raised his arm and pointed to the east. "One is to go east, enter Youzhou, patrol Daijun, Shanggu, and approach Jizhou." Then he turned and pointed to the west. "One is to enter Liangzhou, inspect the four counties, and visit Yizhou."

Jia Xu pondered for a moment. "With the selfishness of the minister, it is natural to look westward. The battle of abandoning Liangzhou for a hundred years is precisely because the ancestors established Luoyang as the capital, and did not pay enough attention to Liangzhou. His Majesty's presence in person can boost the morale of Liangzhou's people. In terms of public opinion, It is better to go east. Yuan Shao did not return to Yuzhou, but went to Jizhou, just like the ancestors who relied heavily on Youzhou to ride, so we must guard against it."

"I heard that all ten counties in Youzhou have Tuqi, but Yuyang and Shanggu are the most. Why is that?"

Jia Xu froze for a moment, thinking for a while. "Maybe it's because the two counties have both farming and animal husbandry. If there is farming but no farming, they will be rich but not strong. If they have farming but not farming, they will be strong but not rich. If they have both farming and animal husbandry, they can have strong troops and rich families. It can support some people to study and learn the art of war. After all, geniuses like Huo Qubing are rare, and most people learn it later.”

"Just like Liangzhou Sanming?"

Jia Xu nodded and sighed again. "Liangzhou and Youzhou can't be compared. After all, as early as the Shang and Zhou Dynasties, the Zhuojun area of ​​Youzhou was a place of clothing. Liangzhou didn't become infected with the civilization of the Central Plains until the time of Xiaowu. Before that, even the Qin people made a fortune. Those in Longyou are all barbarians."

"Even counting from the time of Xiaowu, it has been three hundred years since Liangzhou entered China." Liu Xie turned around and looked at Jia Xu. "Sir, don't you want to hear the children of the four counties reading aloud in your lifetime?"

Jia Xu stared at Liu Xie for a moment, then bowed, his words choked with sobs.

"On behalf of the scholars and commoners of the four counties in Hexi, I respectfully ask Your Majesty to make a tour."
