The first general of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 288 Tzuyu Recommends Chen Qun

Wei Tao had to wonder, even if he was defeated, so what?

Can the emperor still use this to seize the military power in his own hands?
As long as you think about it casually, you will know that it is impossible. Anyone can know what military power is all about.

Now, does Liu Xie still want to seize military power with a decree?
Wei Tao really didn't know, but he responded naturally on his face, saying that he should go to Xiliang to relieve the crisis, so as to help the big man in crisis.

Only after returning to his own residence, Wei Tao brought Zhuge Jin to him for questioning.

"Ziyu, why do you say this?"

This matter really made Wei Tao have to ask. Although he already had the ambition to compete in the Central Plains, Wei Tao didn't have a big plan for the emperor.

Originally, Wei Tao's plan for Liu Xie was to let him do whatever he wanted, to ignore him, and wait until the situation in the world became clearer.

"My lord, the Son of Heaven has suffered many catastrophes, and his mind is very human. He may do this to protect himself, or he may want to take advantage of the lord. It is really hard to judge."

The so-called counselors can only deduce the truth through a certain amount of understanding, and it is impossible for Zhuge Jin to imagine it out of thin air, so he can only shake his head secretly in the end.

But Zhuge Jin was Zhuge Jin after all, after a short pause, she looked at Wei Tao and asked.

"In fact, in terms of the strength of the lord, it doesn't matter how the emperor is, the key is what the lord wants?"

"What do I want?"

Wei Tao was taken aback for a moment, and then he understood that the matter was indeed the case, and the key was what he wanted. If he wanted to abolish the emperor to seize power, then he could do it with his own strength. If he only wanted to keep his position, even if he It is impossible for the emperor to threaten himself.

Strength, this is Wei Tao's current strength, with this strength, Wei Tao has enough choices.

But soon Wei Tao laughed, no matter whether Zhuge Jin was confirming or probing, Wei Tao's purpose was always the same.

"Hehe... Don't Ziyu know who I am? The so-called power is not in my heart. The only thing I do is to protect the peace of my big man, but whoever offends my big man will be punished even if he is far away." !"

Being human for two generations, Wei Tao knows that there is no eternal dynasty, only an eternal nation. Even if one dynasty is established to rule the world, it will inevitably decline and perish in the end.

Compared with these, let the Han nation always stand on top of the world, this is the mission of this era.

"Since this is the case, the Son of Heaven can neither be a help nor a hindrance to the lord, so why does the lord keep him in Chang'an?"

After a slight silence, Zhuge Jin finally asked slowly. For Zhuge Jin, the status of the emperor is indeed noble, but at this time his lord is Wei Tao.

"I heard that Cao Mengde has always wanted the emperor to move his capital to Xuchang. Since the emperor wants to seek the lord, and the lord does not want to do it at this time. If so, why not send him to Xuchang? Maybe Cao Cao is willing to be a loyal minister of the Han Dynasty and will Hand over the military power in your hand."

When it came to the end, the smile on Zhuge Jin's face also became a little weird. Everyone can understand that no matter whether Cao Cao is a loyal minister or not, this matter may not be so easy.

"Move the capital to Xuchang, and give the emperor to Cao Cao?"

Wei Tao was stunned on the spot, he never thought that Zhuge Jin would give him such an idea.

But I have to say that this idea is very good, at least Wei Tao feels very good at this time.

After all, being human in two generations, and Wei Tao is also a prince of one side, he gave big gifts to Liu Xie all day long, which made Wei Tao feel a little uncomfortable. If Liu Xie was sent away, it would also reduce Wei Tao's burden.

As for "holding the emperor to order the world", now that the majesty of the great man has been swept away, how can there be any majesty to command the world?
As for the others, for Wei Tao, the Son of Heaven is useless, so naturally he doesn't care much.

"Perhaps this is a good piece of advice. The former glorious man turned into this one day, and I'm afraid that even when he arrived at Cao Mengde's place..."

Wei Tao let out a long sigh, and finally didn't say any more, and fell into silence with Zhuge Jin.

The next day, Wei Tao did not ask for orders to move the capital, but said that he had fought with the army of Xiliang before, causing Sili to fall into chaos.

For Wei Tao's words and deeds, Liu Xie naturally praised them greatly, but after speaking for a while, Liu Xie asked about the time to send troops.

"Your Majesty, it's the so-called pursuit of victory. Although our military strength is greatly damaged now, so is the Xiliang army. However, Xiliang has been managed by Ma Teng and Han Sui for a long time. If time goes by, it will inevitably not It is to restore its strength, so in a few days, I will lead the army and set off, taking advantage of the morale of the Xiliang army before it recovers, and smash it in one fell swoop."

"good very good!"

Hearing Wei Tao's words, Liu Xie was quite excited, which made Wei Tao even more inexplicable.

"Ziyu, you are staying in Chang'an City to rectify the armaments, and at the same time, let me see what the emperor wants?"

After Wei Tao returned, after a period of silence, he finally gave Zhuge Jin an order.

"He is the Son of Heaven after all. As long as it's not a big deal, let him do the small things. If he is willing to go to Xuchang, then let him go to Xuchang. If not, I can't do it now."

After the Wan Wan order was issued, Wei Tao just didn't pay attention to so many things. Now that the Si Li has made a preliminary decision, there are still many things to be dealt with by Wei Tao.

Of course, it is said that it needs to be dealt with. In fact, it only takes a few days. When Chen Lin and other scribes arrive, Wei Tao can be released from these affairs. This is why Wei Tao said that in the next few days, he will go to pursue Ma Teng , Han Sui's reasons.

As for Chen Lin and others, they were counselors under Yuan Shao's command.

After Wei Tao and Cao Jun jointly captured Chang'an and killed Yuan Shao, most of Yuan Shao's generals surrendered to Cao Cao, while most of his advisors surrendered to Wei Tao.

In fact, this is what it should be. After all, Wei Tao has already occupied Jizhou. Those advisers are mostly from the Jizhou family, so they are naturally willing to surrender Wei Tao, and the generals surrendered because Wei Tao fought against them before. Cao Jun.

What's more, Cao Cao had never been defeated in Jiangdong at that time, his strength was stable, and he was attacking Yuan Shu, and surrendering to Cao Jun was a meritorious service. Unfortunately, those people suffered heavy losses in the subsequent defeat in Jiangdong.

On the contrary, those counselors who took refuge in Wei Tao, although it is impossible to gain Wei Tao's trust like Zhou Yu and others, but because Wei Tao now controls several states, he does need a lot of counselors to assist him, so his position is stable.

Chen Lin and the others came very quickly, and with them handling all kinds of chores, Wei Tao would naturally not stay here any longer, but was going to take the [-] soldiers who had been organized to conquer Xiliang.

"My lord, I stay in Chang'an. It can be my lord's rectification of Sili, and at the same time to prevent any accidents. However, my lord's going to attack Xiliang is extremely dangerous, and I need the help of counselors. Now I recommend someone Assist the lord, help the lord to capture Xiliang."

"Oh? I don't know who it is?"

Hearing what Zhuge Jin said, Wei Tao was also delighted. He knew that Zhuge Jin's younger brother was Zhuge Liang, but according to Wei Tao's understanding, although Zhuge Jin was helping him, his family had already moved to Jingzhou, so although He knew that Zhuge Liang was a genius in the world, but Wei Tao hadn't done anything.

Now hearing that Zhuge Jin is going to take the initiative to recommend talents, although the chances are very small, Wei Tao still can't help but feel a slight movement in his heart.

"My lord, the person I recommend is Chen Qun from Yingchuan, and so is Chen Changwen."

It's a pity that although Wei Tao was looking forward to it, Zhuge Jin came from a noble family after all, such a person would rarely bet all his capital on one person in troubled times.

"Chen Qun?"

But Wei Tao is not disappointed, because the name Wei Tao is also familiar.

Of course, Wei Tao's familiarity does not mean that he knows what kind of strategy Chen Qun has. In fact, even if Wei Tao looks back on history, he can't remember any major strategic decisions he made.

Let Wei Tao remember him because, in history, after Cao Cao died, it was he who wrote a letter suggesting the implementation of the "nine-rank Zhongzheng system", allowing the aristocratic family to monopolize the right to be an official, so that Cao Pi was able to get the support of the aristocratic family and ascended the throne. emperor.

In other words, at least this Chen Qun is not a person who is wholeheartedly loyal to the Han Dynasty.

"It is Chen Changwen from Yingchuan. My lord, I have talked with Changwen. He is talented in the army. Although he is not as good as Gongjin and Gongda in anticipating the enemy's strategy, he is better than me. He can just assist the lord in conquering Xiliang. "

Zhuge Jin's ability to say this already shows that Chen Qun's talent is at least comparable to him.

"And it doesn't end there. The strength of his talent is the law. If it is used in military discipline, it will definitely make the military discipline under the lord's command strict, and nothing strange will happen."

Wei Tao was taken aback for a moment, but he wasn't surprised at all. If it was really Chen Qun who offered the 'Nine Grade Zhongzheng System', it would not be surprising to have such talent, even the system can be made, let alone this.

However, Wei Tao was still a little curious. He knew that Zhuge Jin was also a very magnanimous person, and he would definitely not hide this matter because of jealousy. Obviously Zhuge Jin knew Chen Qun recently.

"Ziyu, how do you know this person?"

"Hehe... My lord doesn't know. Changwen didn't know why he came to Chang'an. He was known by Yuan Shao at that time, but he didn't dare to refuse Yuan Shao's invitation. After Yuan Shao died, he originally wanted to leave , but just in time for the army from Xiliang to arrive, and under the chaos, they were still not allowed to leave."

Hearing what Wei Tao said, Zhuge Jin couldn't help laughing, but hearing what Zhuge Jin said, Wei Tao found that Chen Qun was also a bit unlucky before.

"I was appointed by my lord to be in charge of Sili affairs. Naturally, I wanted to find out as much as possible about Chang'an's affairs. That's why I noticed him. After some conversations, I found that he really lived up to his name. This is how I recommend him to my lord."
