Han Dao world

Chapter 605

Liu Ye's advice was somewhat beyond Liu Xie's expectations, especially about Liu Biao and Jingzhou.

Thinking about it carefully, Liu Ye's idea is very reasonable, and he should not be the only one who thinks so.

Only it didn't fit his ideas.

After Liu Biao entered the court, Jingzhou could indeed return to the court, and then what?
Liu Xie must not reconsider his established plan.No matter how good the plan is, if he is the only one insisting on it, it will definitely not be implemented.

Judging from the current situation, it is very difficult for him to promote the plan implemented in Liangzhou to Shandong, and it is likely to be completely suppressed.

Just like Wang Mang.

Thinking of Wang Mang, Liu Xie shivered involuntarily.

He raised his head and looked at Liu Ye who was still bowing his hands, a cloud of suspicion rose in his heart.

Liu Ye came from the east of the river. Could it be Xun Yu's intention?

"Zi Yang, please get up." Liu Xie stretched out his hand and gestured for Liu Ye to get up. "If this is the case, it would be a beautiful thing. Let me discuss with the officials again to see how to do it."

"Thank you, Your Majesty." Liu Ye stood up and returned to his seat.

Liu Xie turned to Lu Su. "Zijing, you come from Jiangdong, do you know what Sun Ce and Zhou Yu think?"

Lu Su bowed and said: "Sun Ce's father, Sun Jian, was greatly favored by the country. He accumulated military merits with common clothes, and was named a marquis and worshiped general. He promised himself loyalty. When Dong Zhuo was in trouble, Sun Jian took the lead and entered Luoyang, swept the palace, and covered the imperial tomb. His Majesty already knew about it. Although Sun Ce was young, he inherited his father's ambitions, and took Zhang Zhao and Zhang Hong from Xuzhou as his masterminds, and his dedication to serving the country was no less than that of his father. However, Your Majesty is far away in Liangzhou and has no time to take care of Shandong. However, it is impossible for him to serve His Majesty even if he wants to. I believe that if His Majesty sends troops eastward, Sun Ce will lead his troops to respond."

Liu Xie smiled slightly. "What about Zhou Yu? I have enlisted him to enter the court, but he has not responded for a long time. Could it be that he has established a bond with Sun Ce and is unwilling to serve the court?"

Lu Su paused, and bowed again. "Your Majesty does not know that the situation in Jiangdong is complicated. Although Sun Ce is worshiped by the court, his foothold is not stable, and he is facing enemies from three sides. Zhou Yu refused to enter the court, but he also wanted to share Sun Ce's worries, so that Jiangdong will still be enshrined in the imperial court, and will not be annexed by others. .”

"Who can annex Sun Ce?"

"Therefore Liu Yao, governor of Yangzhou, and Zhou Ang, prefect of Danyang."

Liu Xie was stunned for a while before realizing that he was not familiar with Jiangdong's situation due to the lack of communication.At this time, Sun Ce had not yet occupied the six counties in Jiangdong. He only controlled Wu County and Kuaiji. Danyang and Yuzhang were still in the hands of Liu Yao and Zhou Ang.

"Zhou Ang has enmity with Sun's father and son, I know it, and what conflict does Liu Yao have with Sun Ce?"

"To be specific, there was no conflict between Sun Ce and Liu Yao. The cause was Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu's brothers. Sun Ce was originally a general of Yuan Shu's department, but Liu Yao had a good friend with Yuan Shao. He was appointed by the court as the governor of Yangzhou to contain Yuan Shu. Echoing Yuan Shao. Because Yuan Shu was in Shouchun, Liu Yao moved the governor of Yangzhou to the south of the Yangtze River, and Sun Ce was ordered by Yuan Shu to cross the river to fight with Liu Yao, so he ended up enmity."

Liu Xie was shocked.

Lu Su mentioned a sentence, but there is a lot of profound meaning in it.

Liu Yao was appointed as governor of Yangzhou by the imperial court, but it was to contain Yuan Shu and support Yuan Shao.

In the two years since he regained power, he has not handled similar edicts, and he can't remember when Liu Yao became the governor of Yangzhou. Liu Yao should have been appointed before, and he will find out who is behind the scenes.

But in this way, he can rest assured of Sun Ce.

Judging from the current situation, let alone take all of Jiangdong, it is considered good if he can hold Wujun and Kuaiji.

"The imperial court has appointed Yuan Shu as the shepherd of Yangzhou, so Sun Ce should naturally obey Yuan Shu's orders. When Yuan Shao comes to attack, will Sun Ce cross the river to help?"

"Yes, but it won't help. Sun Ce is short of troops and horses, so he can't compete with Yuan Shao in Jianghuai." Lu Su said: "The biggest possibility is to support Yuan Shu and retreat to the south of the Yangtze River, and defend by the river. If Liu Yao responds to Yuan Shao, he responds When Yuan Shao crossed the river, Wujun and Kuaiji probably would not be able to defend it. Therefore, I followed Ziyang's plan and asked the court to appease Jingzhou. Jingzhou is on the side, and Liu Yao can't take care of himself, so Yuan Shao dare not cross the river easily."

Liu Xie was taken aback, why did he come back again?
These two people sang together, this means that the court must pardon Liu Biao and appease Jingzhou.

He looked suspiciously at Lu Su, then at Liu Ye, and said with a smile, "Did the heroes have the same views, or did you discuss this matter on the way?"

"Reporting to Your Majesty, it's both." Liu Ye said with a smile: "I discussed with Zijing, and both felt that if the imperial court could appease Jingzhou, it would not only be able to quickly pacify Jiangdong, but also force Yizhou to surrender. There are taxes from Jingzhou and Yizhou. , coupled with His Majesty's benevolent government, within ten years, the great man will be able to rejuvenate, and the king will be able to achieve it. Then go to the sea in the southeast and open trade in the northwest, and the great man's prestige will be thousands of miles away."

He exchanged a look with Lu Su, and said again: "I will come here after waiting for thousands of miles, just hoping to climb the scale of Your Majesty's dragon and make meritorious deeds."

Liu Xie raised his eyebrows slightly, smiled slightly, and raised his wine glass. "As you wish."

"Thank you, Your Majesty." Liu Ye and Lu Su raised their glasses and thanked each other loudly.

-

After the reception banquet was over, Liu Xie ordered people to settle Liu Ye and Lu Su, and returned to the back tent by himself.

He folded his hands behind his head, lying on the bed, looking at the blue tent, recalling Liu Ye, Lu Su's suggestion, and the expressions of the others at that time, feeling a little bitter in his heart.

Obviously, if he doesn't make changes, he will inevitably become a real loner.

If he accepts Liu Ye and Lu Su's suggestion and recruits Jingzhou, the opposition will be even stronger. At that time, from the court to the prefectures, I am afraid that few people will support his decision, and Dutian in Guanzhong will die without a problem.

Is this the result I want?
Obviously not.

But if you go upstream, the result may not be success, but more likely failure, and it is a complete failure.

There are many examples like this, the most recent ones are Wang Mang, and... Taizu.

With the great ability of Taizu, the result of forced reforms is a major disaster. Why should I be sure to succeed?

I'm just cheating, and I'm not really a saint who only emerges once every five hundred years.

"Your Majesty, what do you want?" Xun Wenqian walked in, sat by the bed, and fanned Liu Xie with a fan.

Jincheng is not hot, and there are no mosquitoes at night.

"Do you feel hot?" Liu Xie asked.

Xun Wenqian froze for a moment, looked at the fan in her hand, and couldn't help laughing.

"I'm used to it. When I was at home when I was a child, Yingchuan was hot and humid in summer, and there were a lot of mosquitoes. My mother would hold a cattail fan and coax me to sleep. After two years in Liangzhou, everything else changed. This habit can't be changed, especially after Artest."

Liu Xie's heart moved, and he suddenly realized.

Xun Wenqian is only twenty years old, and already has some habits that cannot be changed.Liu Ye and Lu Su are both young people, so how could they turn the corner all of a sudden.

My biggest advantage is not two thousand years of knowledge, but my youth.

I am only seventeen years old, and even if I live another sixty years, I will survive most of the opposition.
