Han Dao world

Chapter 588 Indisputable Argument
When Liu He mentioned Qin Zhi, Jia Xu closed his mouth, lowered his eyelids, and stopped talking.

This is a very sensitive topic, and it is not convenient to argue in front of the imperial court.

In order to save the nation, in order to solve the stubborn illness of the great man, the emperor made Liangzhou the focus of appeasement, which already made people suspect of following the story of the Qin Dynasty.Restoring the rank of military merit is undoubtedly a real suspicion, which will make the court face even greater criticism.

So he never mentioned the word military merit.

Liu He believes that this is a military merit, that is Liu He's business, and has nothing to do with him.

This method will help Liu Bei gather people's strength, solve the problem of insufficient troops, and confront Yuan Shao, which is enough.

Dealing with the local aristocratic families has long been a tacit understanding between him and Liu Xie, but it is not so clear.

Liu Xie didn't even have to make a choice, he just made a suggestion.In the face of life and death, Liu Beicai does not care about the Qin system or the Han system. With the acquiescence of the court, he will most likely restore his military merit.

Once the military meritorious service is implemented in Xuzhou and has obvious effects, it will be easy for the imperial court to announce the implementation.

Seeing that Jia Xu didn't speak, Liu Xie felt like a mirror in his heart, and couldn't help but want to curse.

This old fox is too bad, he provoked a topic and aroused an argument, and he himself shrank back, looking like he was indifferent to the world.

"Please, Gongheng. This is a big matter, let me think about it again." Liu Xie also played Tai Chi, and said to Zhao Yun and Tian Chou: "You may as well speak bluntly, the speaker is not guilty."

Zhao Yun and Tian Chou looked at each other in blank dismay, not daring to express their views easily.

Liu Xie then changed the subject and talked about Cao Cao and Sun Ce.

Zhou Zhong resigned from Yuzhou Mu, Yuan Shu was like mud that couldn't support the wall, and the dragons in the Kanto had no leader.Yuan Shao was very cautious in sending troops this time, and directly aimed at Liu Bei, who was the weakest. If Cao Cao and Sun Ce were satisfied with self-protection and refused to send troops for reinforcements, Liu Bei would undoubtedly be defeated.

Liu Xie actually didn't care whether Liu Bei would be defeated, otherwise he wouldn't be talking five thousand miles away, and would have rushed to the front line long ago.

With powerful force in hand, even if Sun Cao Liu surrendered to Yuan Shao and Yuan Shao unified the Kanto, he would not be nervous.On the contrary, he just wanted to see how many people would support Yuan Shao's proclaiming himself emperor, and then justifiably wiped them all out.

At that point, what bargain is there?Those who are rebellious deserve to die.

But he can't make such a statement, there must be some performances.

Cao Cao's attitude is relatively easy to guess.Cao Ang was an servant in front of the imperial court, and behind Cao Cao was Henan.Once the situation is not right, Cao Cao can abandon Yanzhou, retreat to Luoyang, and join forces with Zhang Ji and Dong Zhao, which is enough to make Yuan Shao unwilling to act rashly.

Sun Ce's attitude is not easy to guess.After Zhou Zhong's resignation, it is hard to say whether Sun Ce will support Yuan Shu and fight against Yuan Shao, or surrender to Yuan Shao and kill Yuan Shu.According to Sun Ce's family background and inherent relationship with Yuan Shu, it seems that he is more likely to support Yuan Shu.

No matter how bad it is, he can still retreat to Jiangdong, relying on the advantage of the navy to prevent Yuan Shao from crossing the river, and just sit back and watch the changes in the world.

The most difficult thing is Liu Bei.

So in the end, the topic still comes back to how Liu Bei can persevere.

Liu He strongly opposed the military meritorious deeds, but he couldn't find a better way.

The discussion did not yield any satisfactory results, so Liu Xie decided to adjourn the meeting temporarily and discuss it another day.

-

After leaving the account, Liu He and Tian Chou walked side by side, sighing.

Tian Chou's heart is also a little heavy, but unlike Liu He, he is quite peaceful.

"Want to hear my opinion?"

"What do you want to say?" Liu He said with a wry smile, "I may be a fan of the authorities, but as an authority, I know how much the people in the Guandong hate the Tyrant Qin. You may not know that starting from Xianyang, there is a road leading to the Qu County by the East Sea. On the Qu Mountain there, Qin Shihuang erected a gate, which is called Qin Dongmen."

"Really?" Tian Chou was surprised.

"It's true, but you can't see Qin Dongmen now."

Tian Chou was slightly startled, and then suddenly realized. "Destroyed?"

"Yes, not long after Chen She and Wu Guang started the incident, Qin Dongmen was destroyed." Liu He looked around and lowered his voice. "The Qin army is based on the Guanzhong people, and it is so hated by the people in the Guandong. The emperor uses the Xiliang soldiers as the main force. What do the people in the Guandong think?"

Tian Chou laughed suddenly. "Fair and balanced, I have a question, it may be presumptuous."

"But it doesn't matter."

"How many big families in Kanto today are descendants of the Six Kingdoms? In other words, how many nobles who were wealthy and well-fed in the Six Kingdoms back then are still descendants of well-dressed families?"

Liu He was taken aback, stopped, turned to look at Tian Chou, his scalp was numb.

He realized a problem, if Liu Bei could not keep Xuzhou, or if the big clans in Xuzhou chose to support Yuan Shao, in the future the emperor would lead his troops to the east, those big clans who supported Yuan Shao would not only be deprived of their land, but also might be deprived of their land because of their rebellion. Clan punishment, the consequences are more serious.

Just like when Baotai was destroyed back then, the children of the six countries failed to restore the glory of their ancestors and disappeared for everyone.

The Xuzhou clan actually had no choice.

Liu He was even more anxious.

"After all, the Son of Heaven is not Qin Shihuang, and he doesn't want Bingliang's elite soldiers to become tiger and wolf masters like the Qin army, so he has been promoting enlightenment to transform the tiger and wolf masters into king masters. Otherwise, when Yuan Shao went south, he would How could you stay here?"

Liu He let out a breath slowly, and his tense mood finally relaxed a little.

"The Yang family of Hongnong is also a big family, but the emperor can still appoint Yang Biao and Yang Xiu and his son. The Huang family of Jiangxia is also a big family, and the emperor still gives Huang Yi a heavy responsibility. The Xun family of Yingchuan is a new star, and the emperor does not exclude them. Instead, let Xun Yu take the importance of the king's way, and pay Xun You the soldiers of Youyan..."

Tian Chou cited several examples in one breath, and finally said: "The emperor has tried his best, shouldn't the Kanto clans make efforts to build peace together? Both of them belong to the inner county, so wouldn't they get more than the hundreds of hectares of land?"

Liu He let out a long sigh, but stopped talking.

-

It was discussed again the next day, but Liu He did not raise any objections, and focused on how to deal with Yuan Shao's attack.

He has worked with Yuan Shao for a long time, and he is aware of the factional struggles and civil and military contradictions under Yuan Shao's command.

After the meeting, Liu Xie ordered someone to draft an imperial edict, promising Liu Bei to restore his clan status and encourage Liu Bei to make contributions.Regarding how to assemble troops, apart from the old saying that he suggested that he join forces with Zang Ba and others, Liu Xie did not mention Jia Xu's suggestion, let alone the word "Military Merit".

These were provided by Zhao Yun to Liu Bei for reference in a private letter.

At the same time as the imperial edict, apart from Zhao Yun's personal letter, there was also a letter from Liu He to Wang Lang.

This letter is very long, with more than [-] words.Liu He not only explained in detail his original intention of abandoning Yuan Shao and returning to the imperial court, but also mentioned the significance of the emperor's new policy, hoping that Wang Lang could play an active role as a celebrity, and persuaded the Donghai clan to recognize the situation and not be a praying mantis blocking the car.

This five hundred years of great changes also, Liu He said at the end of the letter, with a heavy tone.
