Jagged hegemony of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 795 Stupid Liu An

"Your Majesty! Let's stay in Wudu for one night today, and tomorrow we will get up and go to Tianshui!"

In the evening, Huo Jun came to Liu Wei's bedroom and greeted Liu Wei.

But Liu Wei said vaguely: "No hurry, no hurry, just stay in Wudu for a few days!"

At this moment, Liu Wei didn't have the time to talk to Huo Jun at all, his mind was all on the flesh in front of him.

Although I often eat game at Orion's house, the meat of the game is all firewood. How can this roasted whole lamb be fresh and tender, and in addition to traveling these days, I have to eat and sleep in the open every day. Now that there are such delicacies, how can Liu Wei do it? let go.

Liu Wei held a leg of lamb in his left hand and a jug in his right. A big mouthful of lamb leg and a big mouthful of men's wine were simply delicious in the world.

"Are you okay?"

Liu Wei chewed the mutton and turned to look at Huo Jun.

Huo Jun looked a little sad, but also a little happy. The sad thing was that Liu Wei, as the emperor of a big man, had experienced what he had to eat like this. The happy thing was that Liu Wei could eat like this in front of him, but he didn't treat himself as a outsider.

"It's alright, it's alright!"

Huo Jun replied.

"Well, then you go down first, I'm fine here, by the way, you send someone to tell Wei Yan not to reveal the news of my arrival in Xiliang!"

"Here!"

Huo Jun responded, turned around, closed the door, and walked out.

Hebei, Liaozhou, Xiangping.

"General Long Jian, a few days ago, I received a letter from General Huang Xu, saying that His Majesty is still alive, do you know about this?"

Xu Shu secretly came to Long Jian's mansion at night and talked with Long Jian by candlelight.

"Oh?"

Long Jian looked up at Xu Shu, and said puzzledly, "Master Xu, what do you mean by saying this to me?"

Xu Shu's face darkened, and he said in a deep voice: "General Long, what do you mean by that? Could it be that you have defected to that traitor Liu An?"

"Hehe, Mr. Xu, you can eat food indiscriminately. You can't say this nonsense. Since Liu An ascended the throne and proclaimed himself emperor, the whole man has belonged to him. There is no such thing as who I go to!"

Long Jian also looked at Xu Shu with a gloomy expression.

Having said this, Xu Shu was speechless. After a long time, Xu Shu finally said, "Then Lord Long means that you belong to Liu An. If His Majesty comes back, are you ready to swear to serve Liu An?"

Long Jian was silent.

Xu Shu continued: "Lord Long, you should think about it. Who gave you this iron pagoda is His Majesty, not that Liu An. Don't forget your origin!"

"Enough, what to do, I know what to do, you don't need to say, and your majesty hasn't come back yet. When your majesty comes back, everything will be determined! If the civil and military people in the court don't support your majesty, this one in my hand What can you do with a few soldiers and horses?"

When Long Jian was criticized by Xu Shu, he couldn't hold back.

After Long Jian finished speaking, Xu Shu actually laughed. Long Jian asked, "Xu Yuanzhi, what are you laughing at?"

Xu Shu said with a smile: "It turns out that Lord Long is afraid of this matter. Let me tell you the truth. If Lord Long still supports His Majesty, then tell me now. When His Majesty returns, I can report to Lord Long!"

Long Jian couldn't sit still now, and stood up all of a sudden: "Master Xu, what do you mean, there are other people besides me who are still secretly supporting His Majesty?"

Xu Shu smiled: "Of course, don't look at Liu An's name as the emperor of the Han Dynasty, but how many generals in the army know Liu An! Even Liu Peng's prestige in the army is higher than Liu An!"

"Then Master Xu can tell me exactly how many people are still on His Majesty's side!"

Long Jian couldn't sit still anymore, he walked up to Xu Shu and stared at Xu Shu closely.

"It's not too many. Among the nine ministers, only six support His Majesty, and there are only a few dozen generals with real power in the army. The total number of soldiers and horses in their hands is only 80 million!"

Xu Shu said casually.

"What? Seven to eight million people?"

Long Jian was completely shocked. Only two-thirds of the soldiers supported Liu Wei.

Immediately afterwards, Xu Shu gave Long Jian another blow, and Xu Shu said slowly: "This is just the number of soldiers and horses I know. Outside of Ma, there should be quite a few people whose hearts are with His Majesty, so, General Long, which side you want to stand on, you should think carefully about it yourself! After you have considered it, you will give me an answer!"

After speaking, Xu Shu got up and left, leaving only Long Jian who stayed where he was.

Long Jian knew that Xu Shu must be exaggerating, but the people he arranged in the capital had sent him a letter saying that Liu An was aggressively rectifying the army, and that many generals who held real power in the army had been replaced by Liu An as his cronies. Naturally, Tie Futu was not spared either. I heard that Liu An valued Tie Futu's 1 people very much, and it would take a few days for him to attack him.

And this is definitely not groundless. The leader of the Huben Guard, Yang Jindao, has been dismissed. Liu An asked him to go home for the elderly. They were all seized by Liu An on the grounds of advanced age, and took over the military power in his hands.

But Liu Ren, who was in charge of Donggongwei at the beginning, had more military power than the general, so Liu An insisted on giving him 30 troops.

In the past, Liu Wei appointed generals based on his merits, and those who were talented would go to them, but now Liu An is a crony, and all the generals in the army are his cronies.

For example, Ma Heng, the current deputy commander of the Flying Leopard Army, is Liu An's brother-in-law. Before entering the army, he was a rogue in the well market. All the punks under him were taken to the barracks and made officers.

But is it Liu An's fault?The answer is no. The reason why Liu An did this was to securely hold the army in his own hands. In his eyes, only these so-called family members would be loyal to him, and outsiders could not be trusted at all.

But in this way, the soldiers in the army will not accept these new generals at all. If they do not accept it, then conflicts will arise. How to solve conflicts?Naturally, those who disobeyed were taken out and beheaded for public display.

Killing people for no reason caused dissatisfaction among the soldiers in the army, a large number of deserters appeared, and even a mutiny was triggered. Many generals defending the army in Yanzhou and Jizhou were killed by their soldiers. In the turmoil, Liu Bei took the opportunity to go north, captured most of the land in Yanzhou, and completely gained a foothold in the Central Plains.
