Three Kingdoms New Emperor

Chapter 657 Can You Tell Me About Liu Xie?

Dong Bai didn't mind that Zhen Mi was by his side, he took out a piece of paper on the desk, his face changed slightly.Afterwards, Liu Bei's flag that was originally located in Xuzhou on the sand table was moved to the direction of Yuzhou.Then he handed the piece of paper in his hand to Zhen Mi, and said, "This is the content of the edict issued by the Emperor of the Han Dynasty in Shouchun, worship Xuzhou Mu Liu Bei as General Zhao Lie, and lead Yuzhou Mu..."

After seeing Dong Bai's actions and hearing her explanation, Zhen Mi finally confirmed that her guess was correct.Her eyes were amazed for a moment, and she said, "Sister, is she going to deduce the whole world on this sand table? Zhen Mi really admires such a bold method. Mi Er only knew that there are boundless worlds in books before, but she didn't want to..."

"Shut up!" Dong Bai said mercilessly, obviously impatient with Zhen Mi's noise: "See if you can understand this first, otherwise, you and I won't be able to talk together, so you can go back."

Although it was only the first time they met, Zhen Mi already had a rough idea of ​​Dong Bai's temperament.Knowing that Dong Bai is such a straightforward person, he is not angry.

At that moment, she looked at the sand table carefully like a student preparing for her husband's school examination: "My sister just moved the chess pieces and terracotta warriors representing General Zhaolie to Yuzhou according to His Majesty's edict. Being recommended as the shepherd of Yuzhou, although His Majesty is now worthy of the name of General Zhao Lie, but... Hey, His Majesty's intention seems to be not that simple."

While Zhen Mi was talking, the impatience on Dong Bai's face became more and more obvious.But just after Zhen Mi lightly snorted, a slight smile appeared on her cheek: "That emperor, when did his intentions become so simple? Tell me, what exactly did you see?"

Listening to Dong Bai's strange address to the emperor of the Han Dynasty, Zhen Mi, who is a woman, intuitively felt that the relationship between this woman and the emperor of the Han Dynasty should be unusual.

But this is not the time to think deeply about these things, she suddenly came into contact with this world's major event, and although it was novel and joyful, she became obsessed all of a sudden.However, it is obviously impossible to point out Jiang Shan: "Mi'er just feels that His Majesty arranged General Zhaolie to Yuzhou, which is too close to the Han Dynasty, and seems to be surrounded by the Han Dynasty. Looking at it this way Come on, General Zhao Lie is as powerful as His Majesty."

Zhen Mi said hesitantly, but she didn't expect the smile on Dong Bai's face to grow stronger, and she praised her: "That's right, your intuition is very accurate."

As he said that, Dong Bai waved the flag representing Liu Bei between Xuzhou and Yuzhou, and explained: "Liu Bei was in Xuzhou for two years, and he was sent to Yuzhou by that Liu Xie just after he had some foundation. This action made Liu Bei The painstaking efforts in Xuzhou were in vain, so he had to seriously examine the power of the Han Dynasty again."

Afterwards, Dong Bai planted Liu Bei's flag on Yuzhou again, turned his fingers around Yuzhou, and then continued: "This place in Yuzhou is the heart of the Central Plains, a strategic place. But although Liu Bei succeeded in one day, the foundation is still weak. Shallow. Especially in the Runan area, which is the hometown of the Yuan family, the forces are deeply rooted. If Liu Bei wants to take root in Yuzhou, he will probably not be able to do so in two years."

Following Dong Bai's narration, her complexion became even darker, with a trace of indescribable anger: "Liu Bei's men are weak in literature and military, but the emperor of the Han Dynasty has been operating in Yuzhou for more than a year. What's more, the imperial edict Although it was not mentioned in it, I found out that the low-level officials under Liu Bei this time are either newly recruited talents from the Han Dynasty, or imperial subordinates transferred from Chang'an."

"More importantly, the area around Yuzhou is extremely unstable, with all kinds of disputes and civil strife. If Liu Bei wants to truly rule in Yuzhou, he must rely on the power of the Han Dynasty to pretend to be a tiger. But this is the idea of ​​​​the emperor of the Han Dynasty. He is not afraid of Liu Bei. Trouble, I'm afraid Liu Bei won't bother him. As long as the Han Dynasty does something in Yuzhou, do you think this Yuzhou belongs to Liu Bei or the Han Dynasty?"

Listening to Dong Bai's detailed explanation, Zhen Mi really understood a lot.After slightly frowning, he concluded: "In this way, Your Majesty has left the most troublesome bad things to Liu Bei, and he only needs to be an old man fishing. After the fish swallows the golden hook, he will sit down To reap the benefits of the fisherman?"

"Hmph, this is what Liu Xie did." Dong Bai was a little angry, but he was helpless: "He is lazy by nature, but his ability to control people and predict things is unparalleled in the world. After such a clever arrangement, he not only It's easy to get an obedient dog, and I even combed this Central Plains according to my own wishes..."

"If that's the case, why would Uncle Liu agree?" Zhen Mi blurted out the words, and then hastily remedied: "I didn't ask Uncle Liu to rebel against the Han Dynasty, but now that the power of the Han Dynasty is declining after all, there are a lot of wolfish and ambitious people in the world. .Since my sister can see all kinds of disadvantages, I guess Uncle Liu is not a fool? So, even if he can't disobey the edict, it shouldn't be a big problem if he procrastinates for two or three years, right?"

"Of course Liu Bei is not a wine bag, but it is because of this that he can't wait to go through the delivery procedures with Cao Cao. It is said that when the people in Xuzhou sent them off with tears, Liu Bei smiled like an elder. He can't wait for it."

"How do you say that? Xuzhou, after all, is also a rich land."

"A fertile land? It depends on who it is to. You also said that everyone is innocent and pregnant is guilty. He Liu Bei is an enemy on all sides, and Xuzhou will be destroyed sooner or later. Especially at the Shouchun banquet, the emperor Liu Xie It is clear that we want to win over the three families of Cao, Liu, and Sun, and it is impossible for Liu Bei to develop southward, so where else can he go if he does not go to Yuzhou?"

With Dong Bai as the guide, Zhen Mi looked at the area of ​​Yuzhou again, and couldn't help but notice Jingzhou, which is adjacent to Yuzhou, and Yizhou after Jingzhou.Thinking of this, she couldn't help but nodded, and understood the deep meaning behind Dong Bai's words.

Immediately afterwards, Dong Bai picked up another piece of paper from the table, and then replaced Jiangdong Sun Ce's flag with a larger one.Zhen Mi took a look and realized that the various flags on the sand table were different in size and size.

At this time, Zhen Mi already understood that Dong Bai did not aim at nothing, but based on the strength of the various forces, and even took into account some factors that have an impact on their strength, before carefully planning the layout on the sand table.

This kind of action continued until Dong Bai planted Cao Cao's flag in Xuzhou before he fell into deep thought.After about half a stick of incense, Dong Bai took out some small scraps of paper, frowned and thought, and said to Zhen Mi: "Help me pull out the flag of Cui Lie in Longxi. The elder Cui Lie wrote a letter to resign from Liangzhou Muzhi. In the memorial, Yang Fu was recommended as Liangzhou pastor..."

When these words came out, Zhen Mi immediately understood Dong Bai's identity, and said in shock, "You, you are the rumored Dong, Dong Bai..."

Dong Bai's eyes froze, Yoyo put down the piece of paper in his hand, turned around and smiled coldly: "Why, are you afraid?"

"No, no, it's just, it's just that I didn't think of it..." To Dong Bai's surprise, after Zhen Mi guessed her own name, she was naturally surprised at first.But then his eyebrows danced, and his face almost jumped up: "The person I admire the most in the pavilion is you. I hate Ban Zhao's "Female Commandments" the most. I have been thinking about when I can see you. But I don't want to..."

"Shut up!" Dong Bai rubbed his forehead helplessly. Although she is only 19 years old this year, the 14-year-old Zhen Mi with an excellent family background in front of her makes her feel like she has an extra daughter: "Will the blank Write Yang Fu's name on the flag and put it in Longxi. The flag should be bigger, but not too big."

"I understand that although this Yang Fu is not well-known, he was transferred to the palace counselor by His Majesty earlier, and was recommended by Cui Lie as Liangzhou Shepherd without hesitating his reputation. It must be because he is a talented person. Compared with the That old man Cui Lie must be stronger, and it will also affect the situation in Liangzhou in the future."

These words reached Dong Bai's ears, and she had to admit that she had indeed picked up a treasure today.Zhen Mi is smart and quick-witted, some mysteries on the sand table, some of which she didn't mention, but she has already figured it out.But when Zhen Mi was busy with these things excitedly, Dong Zhuo picked up the piece of paper in his left hand and compared it with the information in his right hand, frowned and said to himself: "Strange, the old soldier Zhonglang, Ma Chao, was also dispatched." Arrived in Longxi? Could it be that Liangzhou will be the strategic direction of the Han Dynasty in the future?"

"It is very possible that the Western Frontier of the Han Dynasty is now invincible. If Your Majesty completely defeats Han Sui, the Western Frontier of the Han Dynasty will be invincible. Your Majesty will not have to worry about the future, so you can use all your strength to plot the world?" Zhen Mi's enthusiasm was mobilized Get up and analyze seriously.

"Unlikely." Dong Bai shook his head and questioned: "Liu Xie is a very lazy and smart person, he will never do something that does more harm than good. Han Sui's strength has been greatly damaged in recent years, and he has no longer constituted a threat to the Han Dynasty in the western frontier." What's more, Han Sui has long been unable to resist the commercial road of the Western Regions, and instead took advantage of it to recuperate. However, the biggest beneficiary is the Han Dynasty, which is rich in products. The veterans in the court think that he is militaristic. With his temperament, he is absolutely unwilling to provoke those veterans..."

"Sister, you really know His Majesty quite well. According to the rumors, you seem to have almost become the empress of the Han Dynasty. Can you tell Mier what is the young emperor who brought the Han Dynasty back to heaven? A person?" Zhen Mi rested her chin on her hands at this time, and her mind was obviously no longer on the sand table.

But at this moment, she was suddenly enveloped by a strong murderous intent, and when she looked back, Dong Bai pulled out a dagger out of nowhere.No one could see how Dong Bai moved, the dagger was already on her neck.Dong Bai's plump chest heaved violently, obviously suppressing something, but her murderous look, which had become painful, was immediately imprinted in Zhen Mi's mind.

"Shut up! From now on, don't ask me anything about that person except on official business!" Dong Bai yelled sadly, and then his dagger trembled, cutting a line of blood on Zhen Mi's skinny neck: "No, Get lost! You are lucky to meet me the day you met, if it was before, you must have been decapitated!"
