The Three Kingdoms began with self-reliance as king

Chapter 252 The plan to drive away tigers and swallow wolves
"Father, do you think Ma Yuanyi is more threatening?"

Liu Hong asked puzzledly.

Zhang Rang nodded solemnly, and said earnestly:

"Although Beigong Boyu is very powerful right now.

But in terms of potential threat, Ma Yuanyu was clearly above him.

After all, General Huangfu and others faced Beigong Boyu, although they were unable to suppress the rebellion, they were able to confront him without suffering too much loss.

But a few months ago, General Huangfu raised an army of [-] and went to conquer the Black Mountain Army.

The final result is obvious to all. General Huangfu was not only wiped out, but also fell into the hands of Ma Yuanyi himself.

But Zhang Yan's army of more than [-] troops, not even one in ten, was barely alive.

Only Ma Yuanyi not only didn't have any loss, but now he even tried his best to integrate the bandit forces in the Taihang Mountain area.

The strength of his troops and the refugees he received reached more than 30, and he even claimed to have an army of one million.

Your Majesty can think about it carefully. Since the Yellow Turban Uprising, Ma Yuanyi has won many battles and made our troops suffer a lot.

In just over a year, his troops have grown stronger and stronger.

If it is allowed to develop, it will have a great impact on the rule of the imperial court.

Therefore, Ma Yuanyi is the greatest threat to us, and we must take action before that. "

Hearing this, Liu Hong couldn't help but secretly nodded.

From a long-term point of view, Liu Yi is indeed far more harmful than Beigong Boyu.

Seeing Liu Hong's move, Zhang Rang hit the rails while it was hot:
"Beigong Boyu is currently rebelling, if His Majesty does not recruit Ma Yuanyi!
Fearing that he will join forces with Beigong Boyu to attack Luoyang, His Majesty has to guard against this.

If the two of them were to join hands, the capital would be in jeopardy. "

Liu Hong was completely moved by Zhang Rang's words, and hurriedly asked Zhang Rang how to deal with it.

Seeing that his goal was achieved, Zhang Lang said meaningfully:
"This matter is not difficult! I have a plan to relieve His Majesty's worries!"

"What's the plan, father, please tell me in detail!"

Seeing Zhang Rang's appearance of having a well-thought-out plan and a good plan, Liu Hong was delighted and couldn't help asking.

Zhang Rang didn't hold back, and said bluntly:
"Your Majesty can plan to drive away the wolves and tigers!
First send people to recruit Ma Yuanyi, and then order Ma Yuanyi to go to the land of Sanfu to suppress the rebellion and conquer Beigong Boyu!
While borrowing swords to kill people consumes and weakens the strength of both of them, it does not cost us a single soldier to achieve our goal..."

Zhang Rang told Liu Hong what he was thinking in detail, and Liu Hong was very happy when he heard it, and kept praising Zhang Rang's ingenious strategy.

one stone two bird!
Recruiting Liu Yi, and then making Liu Yi and Beigong Boyu go shopping, empty-handed white wolf, will do no harm to them at all.

"Father, this plan is very clever!"

Liu Hong's troubles disappeared immediately, his mood became cheerful, and he said happily:

"It's not too late. You can send people to recruit Ma Yuanyi quickly, and order him to go to suppress the rebellion as soon as possible. Don't delay the big event."

"Your Majesty, don't worry!" Zhang Rang said.

"Father, do you have other ideas?"

Zhang Rang nodded and asked:
"Your Majesty, do you know that Ma Yuanyi changed his name to Liu Yi a few months ago?"

"I don't know?"

Liu Hong said truthfully.

He was only thinking about making money, and he didn't pay much attention to things other than money.

It was really difficult for Liu Yi to change his name to attract his attention.

"Father why mention this!"

Zhang Rang said solemnly:
"Your Majesty doesn't know! Ma Yuanyi's parents died of the plague when he was young, but he was rescued by Zhang Jiao and accepted as his own disciple.

Ma Yuanyi was not his real name, so after Zhang Jiao's death he changed his name back to Liu Yi. "

"What about this?"

Liu Hong had no idea what Zhang Rang wanted to express when he said this to him.

Zhang Rang took a deep breath and said nonsense:

"To tell you the truth, Liu Yi and Your Majesty are distant relatives!
Therefore, since the Yellow Turban Uprising, he has rarely taken the initiative to attack the city and attack the imperial troops.

He even hid silently in the Taihang Mountains and disappeared from everyone's sight.

If General Huangfu hadn't taken the initiative to attack him, he would not have fought back.

And the reason why he didn't kill Huangfusong was because he didn't want to make the relationship with the imperial court too tense, so that both parties would have a chance to relax! "

What?
Ma Yuanyi and himself are distant relatives?
Would this be too bloody!
On second thought, one watch is three thousand miles away!

We are all descendants of Yan and Huang, and there is nothing unacceptable to have distant relatives.

"Father, why are you mentioning this! How did Father know the authenticity of this news?"

Liu Hong was still a little puzzled.

Zhang Rang still induced him patiently:

"Your Majesty needs to use better strategies to drive away wolves and tigers!
The good student took advantage of Liu Yi's identity.

Just imagine that Liu Yi has such a distant relationship with His Majesty. Whether it is recruiting security or ordering him to attack Beigong Boyu, it will become more legitimate.

His Majesty will not lose his prestige and be questioned by the world just because he recruited Liu Yi...

And in order to better implement the strategy of driving tigers and wolves away, the subordinates have gone to the Zongzheng Mansion to verify in advance that Yi's true identity is indeed true..."

Zhang Rang patiently analyzed the pros and cons for Liu Hong.

The royal majesty cannot be lost!
The most important thing is that it costs money to suppress the rebellion, and if you want his money, he will die!

So after listening to Zhang Rang's explanation, Liu Hong was moved again.

For Liu Hong, he doesn't care about Liu Yi's identity at all, what he cares about is how to suppress the rebellion quickly!
Now that Zhang Rang mentioned Liu Yi's identity, Liu Hong couldn't help asking:
"I don't know which line of distant relative Liu Yi is?"

"Emperor Xiaojing's seventh son Zhongshan King Jing Liu Sheng is of the lineage, Your Majesty may take a look at the family genealogy..."

Liu Hong nodded, and ordered Zong Zhengqing to fetch Liu Yi's family genealogy, and then continued to ask:

"Then how should my father recruit security so that he can better execute the strategy of driving tigers and wolves away?"

Seeing that his goal had been achieved, Zhang Rang no longer concealed it.

Confess all the thoughts in your heart.

He beat around the bush, made insinuations, and constantly induced, all in order to fulfill Liu Yi's request to him.

The difficulty now is that the title Liu Yi wants is not easy to win.

In the past dynasties, the title of title required military service, so in the past Liu Yi's request could never be realized.

But it is different in front of Liu Hong, it is possible to spend money

But Zhang Rang was unwilling to spend that money, and he didn't want to expose his relationship with Liu Yi for the time being.

Otherwise, those scholars would be charged with the crime of colluding with rebels, and the gains would outweigh the losses.

Therefore, he turned to think of an opportunity to create military merits for Liu Yi, that is, to go to conquer Beigong Boyu.

As long as Liu Yi goes to attack Beigong Boyu, no matter what the result is, he will be able to fulfill Liu Yi's request to be a Marquis.

After all, he was able to seal himself the title of Marquis by staying in the palace every day.

Liu Yi's request from the Marquis of Guannei is still easy for him as long as he puts a little thought into it.

The past dynasties have emphasized that the name is right, and the words are smooth, and the words are smooth, and things will come true.

He could tell at a glance that Liu Yi was determined, and the reason why he asked him to help get the title was to justify his name!
The appointment of officials by the imperial court is equivalent to direct official recognition.

Feng Hou worships the general, Liu Yi does not want to be left behind!
