Three Kingdoms New Emperor

Chapter 378 Seeking Yuzhou

Sima Yi's prediction was right. After the defeat of Zhang Yun and the Montenegro Army in the First Battle of Hanoi, the emperor really issued an order to return to the court.He left behind the unparalleled brave Lu Bu and Bingzhou wolf rider, and after appointing Sima Fang as the prefect of Hanoi, he patted his butt and left very calmly.

This unrestrained and casual taste makes people involuntarily think of the scene of a rich man entering Yihong Courtyard.Even the capture of the Son of Heaven seems to be a little trick played by the son and the elder sister, making people confused and unable to understand who is playing whom.

There is no doubt that this time, Liu Xie has won another brilliant victory.Not only did all the goals of the original plan be achieved, but he also planted a seed for the Black Mountain Army in Bingzhou outside the plan.Although the seed has not yet taken root and germinated, Liu Xie knows that as long as he keeps watering it, this seed will inevitably grow into a towering tree quickly.

At that time, Zhang Yan will have to be coerced by the desire from his subordinates to change his political strategy.And whether he changes or remains the same, it will only develop in a direction that is beneficial to the Han Dynasty.

Also, in terms of talents, Liu Xie accidentally found Sima Lang and Dong Zhao, two important advisers of the Cao Wei Group.At the same time, Sima Yi, who later usurped Cao Wei's foundation, was also packed and brought into Chang'an by Liu Xie without any explanation.In addition, there is Zhang He, one of the five good generals...

Boss Cao, I'm really sorry.Why do you look back and see that all the talents you have scooped up are all yours...

However, although everything seems to be happy, it cannot be said that there is no regret at all.At least, Liu Xie and Lu Bu have been writing for three full days, but they still haven't dug up Zhang Liao, the head of the future five good generals, the one who will stop children from crying in the future.

Fortunately, this is not a big mistake.After all, Liu Xie had his own plans for keeping Lu Bu in Hanoi.In addition to Lu Bu's embarrassing status, it is really not suitable for the reason why the Han court appeared at this time.Keeping Zhang Liao under Lu Bu's command would only give him more security for his future plans.

Liu Xie didn't know about Sima Yi's night talk with Xu Huang. If he had heard it, he could only score 82 points for Sima Yi's excellent predictive ability.For the remaining [-] cents, keep three six installments to save Sima Yi from being too proud.

Sima Yi's prediction was good. After returning to Chang'an this time, Liu Xie will indeed start to transform his personal prestige into the influence of the court-this is a difficult political project. Fortunately, at present, it seems that some necessary The conditions have already been fulfilled.

The successive emergence of upstarts in the imperial court has already begun to impact the status of those stubborn scholar-officials; my previous commercial trial of "Cat Theory" has also achieved good success; This year's severe drought has become a veritable auspicious omen...

All of these have already been internalized into Liu Xie's power.Coupled with the military achievements of the past two years, his personal reputation has almost reached the peak of the sky.Sweeping these powerful potential energies, Liu Xie was able to carry out the reform of the military system and the reform of Taixue arbitrarily.

Afterwards, he was able to take advantage of the potential energy that was further born from military affairs and Taixue materials, and rushed out of the house like a snowball, once again gaining a lot of votes in the turbulent stage of the late Han Dynasty.Repeatedly like this, the strategy of calming the world has entered a good cycle.

However, although Sima Yi had expected all of this, he did not know Liu Xie as well as Xu Huang did.And he will never know that Liu Xie is actually a time traveler—and with the help of such a heaven-defying identity, Liu Xie can make corresponding arrangements before certain historical events happen.

For example, the case of Taishici in Yuzhou.

Since the time of Yu the Great in the Xia Dynasty, the world has been divided into Kyushu, and Yuzhou is located in Kyushu.In history, this place has reached its peak several times, and it has long been the political, economic and cultural center of China.Until this time, Si and Yuzhou are still the heart of the Han Dynasty in people's hearts, and the prosperous places are like brocades.

More importantly, Yuzhou was the site of the Fourth World War in the Kanto region.No matter who sits on this boundary, they can look at Yuan Shao and Gongsun Zan in the north, the Han Dynasty court in the west, Cao Cao and Tao Qian in the east, and Yuan Shu and Sun Ce in the south... Moreover, this place is now mixed with various forces, Yuan Shao , Yuan Shu, the Yellow Turban Thieves, Cao Cao and others all stretched out their evil tentacles, making the already chaotic undercurrent in Yuzhou even more submerged and turbulent.

It is impossible for Liu Xie to say that Liu Xie has no ambitions for such a place where the most important thing is.However, the complicated affairs of the court, coupled with the drought and the frequent mobilization of troops in the past two years, made the Han Dynasty no longer have the energy to rush into Yuzhou...

Not to mention, in such a delicate land, when everyone has not yet shown their heads, it is very idiotic for Liu Xie to take such rash actions-if he suddenly appears, he will definitely become the leader of various forces. The object of fear, if it comes up, it may attract the alliance of various families, and get rid of him first.

Therefore, Liu Xie made exactly the same move as Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu, choosing to support a force to act as his spokesperson in Yuzhou.Then when the time is ripe or necessary, push this spokesperson to the top of the flames and exercise the power of the Han Dynasty in a legitimate manner.

Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu, I have to say, are really a pair of brothers.In dealing with Yuzhou, the two approaches are almost exactly the same.

First of all, because both of them are the children of the Yuan family, and Runan, Yuzhou is where the Yuan family's clan is located, so there is a lot of old students and old officials.The two of them tried their best to win over the family's influence, hoping to use the family's influence to settle down in Yuzhou.

Secondly, Yuzhou used to be a very powerful place for the Yellow Turban Bandits. The leader Zhang Mancheng and others even attacked Nanyang and surrounded Runan.Huangfusong and Zhu Jun were even at the place of Changshe, and burned down [-] yellow scarf thieves.But the disease of yellow turban thief is only an obvious symptom of the terminal illness of the big man. At present, Liu Xie's good medicine to cure the world has not been used in Yuzhou.Therefore, although the power of the Yellow Turban Bandits in Yuzhou has been greatly reduced, they have not all been wiped out. Some people are still active in the mountains and forests of Yuzhou.

After seven or eight years, the evil deeds of the people of the Han Dynasty towards the Yellow Turban Bandits have weakened a little.Therefore, Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu began to secretly associate with these Yellow Turban thieves, hoping to use this military power to strengthen their influence in Yuzhou.

In the end, the two did exactly the same thing again.It just skipped the step of the Han Dynasty court and sent his subordinates to serve as the governor of Yuzhou.The guy from Yuan Shao's faction was named Guo Gong, who had no real skills, basically just a soy sauce character; and Yuan Shu's governor of Yuzhou, Sun Ben, the nephew of Jiangdong Hujiang Sun Jian, was famous for his bravery.However, this Sun Ben is not currently in Yuzhou, but when Liu Xie and Cao Cao beat Yuan Shu to hell, he was alone and fled to Shouchun with Yuan Shu.

At the end of the chaotic Eastern Han Dynasty, the appointment and dismissal of local officials had become a very strange affair.Originally, the appointment of personnel was a matter for the emperor Liu Xie, but the local princes all adopted the method of cutting first and playing later, and just wrote a list, and some did not even write a list.

For example, the two guys Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu never expressed their opinions to the court.The two brothers could also see that it was the court in Chang'an that hindered them from fighting for world hegemony.Therefore, in the Kanto area, they have always done their own thing.It is clear that this method is used to tell the people of the world that they do not recognize the court in Chang'an.

Liu Xie doesn't care whether the two brothers admit to him or not. After all, he is no longer the puppet emperor in history who has no power to fight back against all forces.To deal with this kind of princes who are already too big to lose, there is no other way but to beat these people down with one fist.

Now, he has successfully punched Yuan Shu and Yuan Shao in the face.It's just that those two punches didn't seem to hurt muscles very much.Therefore, the next thing Liu Xie wants is to send Tai Shici into Yuzhou to deal with the two brothers.

Moreover, he also needs to ensure that this is a good business with the least investment, the least risk, and not a small profit on the premise of not affecting the accumulation of power and stable development of the Han family...

Therefore, Liu Xie, who was walking on the road in the field, felt the wind blowing gently from the south, and took a deep breath of the sweet fragrance emanating from the jointing wheat. Do you also smell the aroma of malt?
