Three Kingdoms New Emperor

Chapter 146 Strategies to Follow the Trend of History

Liu Xie returned drunk to the residence Ma Teng had arranged for him, feeling slightly depressed.In the whole room, the bed is dry, the food is cold, and the air is stuffy.This reminded him of the comfortable days in the Xuanshi Palace. Leng Shouguang is worthy of being the chief executive. Every time Liu Xie comes back, the bed has been put on cold stones, the windows have been ventilated, and the food and snacks are even more delicious. Moderate...

This time out of the palace, Liu Xie ran out completely without telling the courtiers, so Leng Shouguang naturally stayed in the forbidden center to help cover it up with Zhong Yao and Yang Xiu.And Xu Huang's fighting really reassured Liu Xie, but when it comes to taking care of people... Hey, big men are just careless, no wonder those emperors have been so fond of the eunuchs around them since ancient times.

This was the third day that Liu Xie came to the Ma's resident in Mei County. After revealing his identity, Liu Xie let Ma Teng and Han Sui try their best, but did not say what he was doing here.In a hurry, Liu Xie showed the arrogance of the emperor and said, "Under the world, is it the king's land?" All the places in the world belong to me, so what happened when I came out to wander around?
As soon as these words came out, Han Suimateng, as a courtier after all, had nothing to do with Liu Xie except for saying a few words about the state affairs of Chang'an, Choutang, and the world should lead by example to be a wise king.Therefore, Liu Xie lived here begging for nothing.

For the past three days, Liu Xie basically didn't do anything, except for walking back and forth throughout Mei County, that is, going to the Ma family's barracks, or going to the Liangzhou Qianghu tribes in the suburbs, um, strolling... …

However, it is not very accurate to say that Liu Xie did nothing.After all, every time Liu Xie went out, although he didn't ride in the emperor's chariot and horse, he didn't talk less about the ostentation of honor guards, golden battle guards and so on.Not only that, but for the first time, he also changed his low-key nature in Chang'an, and made the scene as big as he wanted.Every time they go out, the five hundred guards are never absent to support the scene.

As a result, one day later, everyone in Mei County knew the news of the emperor's visit.And from the next day to today, Liu Xie began to live a life of drunkenness and dreams.Because although he has a lot of ostentation, he behaves like a down-to-earth emperor. It is commonplace to buy goods from merchants with a big wave of his hand, or to run horses and shoot hunting with the leader of Qianghu.

This place in Mei County was terribly harmed by Dong Zhuo earlier, and most of the people who have poured into this place recently are high-flyers and Qianghu aliens who don't know much about etiquette.When a wealthy guest had the courage to invite Liu Xie to drink a bowl, the Qianghu leaders who heard the news couldn't hold back and rushed to invite Liu Xie to the table. Liu Xie soon became the guest of those prominent figures in Mei County. .So much so that the current Liu Xie can only blush.

"Hey, these Rongdi, drinking is like drinking water. I'm just a 12-year-old kid, okay?" Liu Xie rubbed his temples and complained. Thinking of the scene where Fushou gently kneaded for him that day, he couldn't help but miss it. That gentle, virtuous and funny girl.

"Your Majesty, you asked for this. Now that the entire Mei County knows that the Son of Heaven is here in person, even if Ma Teng and Han wanted to plot something, he did not dare to be too blatant. Your Majesty, with a simple trick of favor, will Han Suimateng and these two heroes of Liangzhou are holding back here, why do you want to be good when you get cheap?" Xun You slowly put down a book that he had just finished reading, looked up at Liu Xie, and gave a slight salute while speaking.

Liu Xie waved his hand, indicating that Xun You needn't be so polite, then he sat down in front of Xun You, showing a sinister face and said: "Gongda, it's been three days, should we do something? Yes. Leng Shouguang sent news yesterday that when Lu Bu left Chang'an City, he beat Hu Zhen to pieces in the first battle. It is said that the entire Xiliang army was torn apart by Lu Bu, and Hu Zhen was almost picked by Lu Bu. We If we don’t do anything, it may be too late when the tribes of Liangzhou outside the pass converge to Tongguan and make a big move.”

Hearing this, Xun You narrowed his eyes slightly, stroked the shiny beard under his chin, thought for a moment, and then said, "In your majesty's opinion, how should we proceed?"

This is the consideration, Liu Xie straightened his body, trying to show a little demeanor of a mastermind.But helplessly, he really couldn't stand the kind of kneeling sitting that people in the Han Dynasty sat upright. Before he could organize his words, he sat up again with his legs crossed.This way of sitting is the way of buttocks on the ground and legs stretched forward. It is comfortable, but it is not formal at all.Especially when talking about it, there is even a sense of disrespect for the other party, because the costumes of the Han Dynasty are actually open, so it is easy for the other party to see that you are naked.

Seeing this scene, Xun You frowned. He was a literati trained by a famous family, so he couldn't see the emperor's unceremonious behavior.But when he was about to speak to remind Liu Xie, Liu Xie took the lead and said:
"It is obviously impossible for Han Sui and Ma Teng to follow us to Chang'an to die. One of these two looks kind-hearted, and the other looks vicious, but neither of them is a fool. It’s a very untechnical but effective method.”

"Leave one faction, fight another faction?" Xun You was immediately attracted by Liu Xie's fresh statement, and after a little thought, he understood that what Liu Xie said was exactly his plan of "the snipe and the clam compete for the fisherman's profit". He couldn't help but nodded slightly and said: "Your Majesty sees things in a subtle way, and sees things like fire. In just three days, he has already seen the subtlety of the discrepancy between Han Sui and Ma Teng's two works. This is really admirable. Fortunately, Your Majesty was born in troubled times. If he was born in prosperous times, I am afraid that even if I die a hundred times, I will not dare to be plotted by Your Majesty."

"Hey, Gongda has won the prize." Liu Xie naturally smiled perfunctorily. Where did he see the discord between Han Sui and Ma Teng? Enemies who have been fighting back and forth and beating to death.

The reason is actually very simple. Both of these two people rose from Liangzhou, and they both rely on the support of Qianghu in Liangzhou. coexistence.

And he Liu Xie played with exactly this idea, although Ma Teng and Han Sui would fight together sooner or later.But for now, the interests of the two of them are still the same, they just want to integrate their forces to get the best benefits from Chang'an.Therefore, these two people are still close brothers and sisters, and they are in the honeymoon period.

It is impossible for them to enter Chang'an to save the court with Wang Yun's whimsical rewards.The only way is to tear apart the fig leaf between the two as soon as possible, so that the two will turn against each other.In this way, the family will inevitably think of the auxiliary role of the imperial court, the orthodoxy of the Han Dynasty, in their rule. In this way, it is possible for Liu Xie to deceive one of them to go to Chang'an to die.

"Since your Majesty has a plan, I don't know where to start?" Once Xun You talked about the business, his face became more serious, and he opened his eyes and asked Liu Xie like a knife's edge.

But Liu Xie was so angry that he just wanted to slap Xun You on the head: If I knew how to do it, I would come to fuck you!

But now Liu Xie really didn't dare to offend Xun You. He groaned and groaned for a long time before he could hold back a sentence: "The solicitation and suppression are naturally selective and targeted. Through the observations of the past few days, Ma Teng is naturally loyal and has a strong personality. General Bo's prestige comes first, and he is the most likely to sincerely submit to the imperial court. Although Han Sui was once a minister of the imperial court and a famous scholar in Liangzhou, he is sinister and vicious, and has evil intentions. It is absolutely unacceptable to introduce such a person into the imperial court. of."

Xun You nodded approvingly again, but when Liu Xie raised his head, he found that Xun You still had no intention of speaking at all, and was waiting for him to continue to say how to start.Liu Xie was depressed now, and suddenly found a sense of embarrassment that he didn't know about being questioned by the elementary school teacher.He pretended to be calm on the surface, but in fact his heart was already on fire. After struggling for a long time, he thought of surrendering and telling the truth.

But just when Liu Xie was about to give up, he suddenly recalled what he had heard and heard in the past two days, his eyes couldn't help turning, and a crude plan began to slowly take shape, and he tentatively said: "Gongda, what do you say?" Shall we send someone to assassinate Ma Teng?"

"Oh?" Xun You's eyes lit up suddenly. The way he thought of was naturally not as idiotic as Liu Xie, but after thinking about it for a while, Liu Xie's plan was simple and straightforward, but it hit the nail on the head, and he couldn't help but ask. : "Why did Your Majesty think of such a lowly method?"

"Uh...didn't you learn from you famous scholars? Didn't you also use such low-level methods when you got Dong Zhuo?" Liu Xie had had enough of Xun You's inscrutable, and gave Xun You a blank look: you No matter how clever he was, he would never have guessed that Han Sui had actually sent someone to assassinate Ma Teng, right?My method is the most in line with the trend of history, understand?Do you understand? !
