Three Kingdoms New Emperor

Chapter 572 Fu Shou's Pun

The empress of the Han Dynasty is graceful and luxurious, Cai's family is elegant and scholarly, and Lu Lingqi is very heroic. Liu Xie has dreamed of the scene of the three of them gathering together more than once.Think about the spring orchids, autumn chrysanthemums, and three flowers competing for beauty, what a beautiful life it should be.

But in fact, when the dream finally came into reality, Liu Xie realized that the dream can sometimes be a nightmare.Although he is a man, his sixth sense is not as sharp as a woman's, but it is not so dull that he can't feel the faint hostility floating in the air after the three of them appeared together.

This is by no means a good sign.

Fortunately, the aura of Empress Fushou of the Han Dynasty did far surpass the other two.Especially when Fu Shou saw that Lu Lingqi was holding Fang Tian's painted halberd, he didn't make a sound. Just a slight glance at his beautiful red phoenix eyes made Lu Lingqi feel as if she had been hit, and hurriedly tried to hide Fang Tian's painted halberd.But such a big painted halberd, placed in this out-of-place Xuanshi hall, no matter how it looks so dazzling.

At the critical moment, the experienced Leng Shouguang had to appear.He stepped forward to salute Liu Xie slightly, and then said: "Your Majesty and Queen, please wait here, and I will serve you some refreshments." After saying this, he walked in front of Lu Lingqi as if casually, and put the Fang Tian took the halberd in his hand and brought it out of the palace.

All of this was done perfectly. To use the killer's description, it simply reached the highest state of killing people invisible.The only imperfection is that when Lu Lingqi belatedly handed over Fang Tian's painting halberd to Leng Shouguang, Leng Shouguang's arm suddenly sank, and he almost didn't hug the halberd, which greatly reduced his mastery demeanor. .

But no matter what, as Fang Tian's painting of the halberd left silently, the atmosphere in the Xuanshi Palace warmed up slightly.Fu Shou smiled, sat down very casually, and said to Liu Xie: "Your Majesty, my concubine is a woman, and I shouldn't have intervened in the military affairs of this military family. But my concubine is also a woman after all, and I will be a little curious after all... ..."

After saying this, Fu Shou glanced at Liu Xie and Lu Lingqi intentionally or unintentionally.This glance can be described as charming, but Liu Xie didn't dare to accept it calmly. Did he know that Fushou's intention was to kill two birds with one stone, making it so hard to guard against.

Firstly, Fushou was veiledly warning Lu Lingqi, as a woman in the Han Palace, not to intervene in military matters; secondly, it was Fushou who was blaming Liu Xie: Once the concubine is away, you will be frightened by this little goblin. speak out.Even if you want to say it, the concubine is still a little girl, why don't you talk to the concubine first if you have something to say?

When Liu Xie saw this posture, he suddenly felt that he had returned to the battlefield full of bullets. The cold arrow swished towards his back, and the arrow blocked his throat.This illusion made Liu Xie break out in cold sweat in winter, and looking at Cai Yan who was quietly smiling, Liu Xie felt like a monkey in a zoo again...

"This, this... Oh, why didn't you kill Han Sui? This is actually very simple." In his mind, Liu Xie still had to use this topic to divert the attention of the three women, and he simply told the truth. : "If I don't kill Han Sui, it's not the same as if I didn't attack Zhang Lu, because the benefits of killing him are not as great as not killing him. Therefore, the two interests choose whichever is more important, and I naturally want to let Han Sui go." Then there is a way out."

"What's the reason? Han Sui troubled Liangzhou for decades, causing military disasters in the Kansai area for years. If he were to take his head and make the dragons of the Iron Qiang League leaderless, Liangzhou's troubles would be eliminated from then on. How can your majesty keep Han?" Is life better than once and for all?" Lu Lingqi was a general after all, and when she heard Liu Xie's nonsense, she couldn't help but refute.

"Qi... Well, you, you are still too stupid and naive. How can military affairs be so simple as black and white? Killing Han Sui is just a snap of the fingers, but the Iron Qiang Alliance has a long history and deep roots. Even though Han Sui After the death of the leader of the Iron Qiang Alliance, there will be Zhang Sui, Li Sui and others in the Liangzhou area, as long as the grievances between the Qiang Hu and the Han people remain unresolved, it will not be easy to eliminate the military disasters that have been going on for so many years."

As Liu Xie said this leisurely, his right hand unconsciously touched a bag of powder in his sleeve.It was Zhang Ji Zhang Zhongjing, who is the best master of internal medicine in the world, carefully prepared a pack of soul-breaking powder. Since ancient times, doctors can save people as well as kill people. This pack of Zhang Zhongjing's medicine powder is colorless and tasteless. A dose can truly kill you invisible.

Now that Liu Xie has Yan Xing as an internal response, he only needs to hand over this packet of medicinal powder to Yan Xing, and Han Sui's life will be in Liu Xie's hands in an instant.For Han Sui, who used poison to kill the former leaders of the Iron Qiang Alliance, his death like this can only be regarded as a cycle of karma and unhappy retribution, and there is nothing dignified or disrespectful.

But the fact is as Liu Xie said, Han Sui is more useful alive than dead.No matter what lessons Han Sui learned from this disastrous defeat, at least he lost his pants once again. After returning to Liangzhou, he will definitely recuperate and comfort one party within three years, so that Liangzhou will be counted. years of tranquility.

If Han Sui died, he still had a son in Jincheng, and those Qianghu tribes would envy the position of the leader of the Iron Qiang League.At that time, no one will obey anyone, and the whole Liangzhou will be full of smoke and blood, and blood will flow like a river.

For a qualified king, no matter whether the people in Liangzhou are civilians or thieves, at least that area still belongs to the king.He also has the obligation and responsibility to make the people on that land as peaceful and developed as possible, not to mention that Liangzhou is still an important commercial route connecting the trade in the Western Regions.What Liu Xie wants to do and what he should do is to let the people on that land live a good life, accumulate wealth, and make due contributions to the prosperity of his Han Dynasty.

Therefore, in a sense, Han Sui was no different from Liu Yu and Cui Lie at this time, they were both working for him and Liu Xie.Although Han Sui was a bit mischievous, the governing party still had a way of doing things—this was the fundamental reason why Liu Xie could tolerate Han Sui for the time being.

As Lu Lingqi said, whoever provokes me, I will kill anyone. It sounds very cool, as if it is as domineering as "Anyone who offends China will be punished no matter how far away".But the two are not the same thing at all. The Xiongnu in the time of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty was a contradiction between the enemy and ourselves, and Liu Xie and Han Sui were a contradiction among the people.Those who really want to be wiped out are immature brats, or to put it bluntly, it's something that idiots would do.

"Even after Han Sui was killed, Liangzhou might be in trouble. But now that the Han Dynasty is powerful, if a large-scale attack is launched, the border troubles can be quelled within two years. Although the army is mobilized, it will return Liangzhou to return. Han Dynasty, why not?"

It was Cai Yan who Liu Xie did not expect to speak this time. Ordinarily, she should not care about such military matters, but now it seems that the idea of ​​"big Hanism" has long been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, so she is so dedicated to learning. Both scribes and ladies who don't like fighting are looking forward to the early unification of the Han Dynasty.

"Everyone Cai's words are not unreasonable. Normally, with the current power of the Han Dynasty, it is not difficult to pacify Liangzhou." When he said this, Liu Xie naturally wanted to brush his hair on his temples to show that he was the emperor of the Han family. elegant demeanor.But the hand stopped just as it reached mid-air, and seeing Fushou's playful expression, he felt that women were really scary.

That's right, Liu Xie was bragging about this sentence. When his cheap father was in power, he couldn't put down Liangzhou with all the power of the whole country.Although the current situation is different from before, it is still quite difficult to completely pacify Liangzhou.

First of all, not to mention the waste of people and money, the main thing is that it is a continuous project.There have been long-standing grievances in Liangzhou, and rebellions happened from time to time. Even if the soldiers of the Han Dynasty could wipe out Han Sui's son Han Mu and the powerful rebel tribes, what would be left?

The rebels in Liangzhou could drag the Han army to death with one shot and another place.The simplest example, during the War of Resistance Against Japan, wasn’t the powerful country in East Asia at that time battered by Mao Zedong’s guerrilla warfare?
Even if the soldiers of the Han Dynasty were persevering and gritted their teeth to fight the rebels to the end, God would favor them in the end so that Liangzhou would never rebel, but what would Liu Xie gain?
There is no doubt that the Han Dynasty may reopen the Silk Road and exchange a lot of wealth from the various states in the Western Regions.But the problem is that this will not see any effect in the short term, and the ratio of input to output in a protracted war is too disparate.Now that Han Sui is in town there, he just plucks the wild goose and collects some tolls, and hardly delays the commercial development of the Han Dynasty. Why does Liu Xie go to such great lengths to snatch a piece of land that is basically worthless? Territory?
As a result, Liu Xie had no choice but to give up pretending to be a superior man in front of the big Han queen who knew him too well, and said truthfully, "Well, it may be a little...uh, not a small difficulty to calm down, but in the end it will still be possible. It was settled. But the problem is that everyone’s words are too one-sided. Liangzhou is a state of the Han Dynasty, and other states are also Han territories. Things must be done in a light and heavy way. I have not used the Han Dynasty this time. The elite, the intention is to focus on the center of gravity of the Han Dynasty next year, not in Liangzhou or Hanzhong."

"Then where does Your Majesty want to focus next year?" Fu Shou said leisurely, but once again glanced at Lu Lingqi and Cai Yan.

This is another double entendre. Fu Shou is not only asking about the focus of the Han Dynasty next year, but also about Liu Xie's personal focus of hunting beauty, which makes Liu Xie almost vomit blood: women, sometimes it is virtue to be truly incapable.Too smart, it's really too much for men... No wonder so many bachelors in the previous life were suppressed by women who were too wise!
