The Warriors of the Three Kingdoms

"I know, Prime Minister Wang Fen has already told me that my uncle He Jin agrees with all officials to support my younger brother Liu Xie as emperor, and now my younger brother Liu Xie is the emperor."

Although Liu Bian is only ten years old, he still knows a lot.On weekdays, Wang Fen and others are used to him. Wang Fen is actually not a bad person. He really hopes that the court will become better. He didn't show any intention of taking care of Liu Bian. study.

Although Liu Bian was young, he kept his understanding of some things in his heart.

"Since you know that Liu Xie is the emperor, you should understand that if you are rescued by Huangfusong, they don't really want to see you go back to Luoyang."

"why?"

"Why? You are He Jin's nephew. Do you think that if you return to Luoyang, He Jin will still watch Liu Xie stay on the throne? At that time, you will definitely become the emperor."

Liu Bian didn't quite understand Xu You's words.

"I am the eldest son, this throne is mine!"

Liu Bian immediately answered Xu You.

"Hey, there is nothing wrong with saying that, but will all the civil and military officials agree? Will Huangfusong be optimistic about this kind of thing happening? If you really become emperor, then General He Jin has too much power and power. It will squeeze the status of Huangfu Song, Lu Zhi and others, civil and military officials, even if Huangfu Song doesn't have this idea, someone under him will always think so."

"As long as you make a slight mistake, you will die inexplicably, and then just find someone to take the place of the dead, who else do you think will investigate this matter?"

Xu You saw through all of this, and he didn't care whether Liu Bian would understand or not. After he briefly said something to Liu Bian, he stopped talking.

"Okay, I'm just talking about these things casually, as long as you hear it, remember, I will tie you up later, and you will shout when you see the He character flag. I got the news that the chariot general He Miao will I will bring people back to the court from here, and only He Miao can bring you back to Luoyang safely."

"You can only inherit the throne if you return to Luoyang safely!"

After Xu You finished speaking, Young Emperor Liu Bian nodded. He had been with Xu You for almost a year, and Xu You didn't show any intention of hurting him, which made Liu Bian think that Xu You was a good person. .

In this way, after Xu You tied Liu Bian under a tree next to the official road, he left alone.

Not long after Xu Youcai left, a team came from a distance on the official road.

Chapter 267 Power is in the hands of the people

Liu Bian, the young emperor of the Han Dynasty who was tied to a tree, saw those men and horses slowly approaching from a distance.

Han Shaodi Liu Bian, who was tied to a tree, was not in a hurry.He is exactly as Xu You explained before.After these people approached, he saw clearly what words were written on the flags carried by these people.Only then did I speak.

The number of these soldiers and horses was not many, only a few thousand, but there was a big He character embroidered on the flag that was raised high in the face.Liu Bian, the young emperor of the Han Dynasty, who was only 10 years old, immediately realized that these people were exactly what he was looking for, He Miao, the chariot general.

The chariot general He Miao is none other than his uncle.

Eldest uncle He Jin, second uncle He Miao.

Although the two are not brothers of the same father and mother, they are still brothers anyway.He Miao also followed He Jin's promotion all the way, and rose all the way, and was promoted to General of Chariots and Cavalry.

"Help, help!"

As soon as he saw that these people were holding the He character banner, Han Shaodi Liu Bian immediately started yelling at the people in the distance.

Although he was only 10 years old, his voice was not very loud, but because he was not far from the official road, he was quickly heard by the soldiers on the official road.

When several soldiers saw a child tied to a tree, they immediately came to check.

After that, things became easier, and Liu Bian, the young emperor of the Han Dynasty, was brought in front of He Miao.Naturally, He Miao had met Liu Bian, after all he was his own uncle, although he rarely saw him on weekdays, Liu Bian still had some impressions in front of He Miao.

At this time, He Miao was wondering.The reason why he came to Jizhou Weijun was because of the rebellion led by Zhonglang General Huang Fusong to encircle and suppress Wang Fen.

He was entrusted by his elder brother He Jin to come here to ensure that Liu Bian, the young emperor of the Han Dynasty, could be rescued safely.

But when he led people into the imperial city of Jizhou, he did not find Liu Bian, the young emperor of the Han Dynasty. He searched everywhere for several days, but there was no sign of Liu Bian, and He Miao was about to give up.

I have already thought about the wording, how to go back and report to the general He Jin, since I can't find it, Han Shaodi Liu Bian, he still has to go back, but who would have thought that on the way back, I would find it for him on the side of the road? Liu Bian.

The appearance of Liu Bian made He Miao immediately overjoyed.He knew very well that as long as Liu Bian returned, General He Jin would continue to let him inherit the throne again.

At that time, their He family will continue to rise and become a powerful family with one person under ten thousand.

Although He Miao was still curious as to why Liu Bian was tied to this official tree, he didn't care so much anymore. He took Han Shaodi Liu Bian with him and hurried back to Luoyang.

Wei Jun was already not far from the Sili area, and with He Miao's deliberate speeding up, a group of thousands of people returned to Luoyang very quickly.

He Miao returned to Luoyang faster than Huangfusong, and brought back Liu Bian, the young emperor of the Han Dynasty, which immediately caused an uproar.

Everyone knew that Emperor Han Shao had returned, and the civil and military affairs of the Manchu Dynasty began to talk about it.

Han Shaodi Liu Bian is the most qualified to inherit the throne. After all, if he hadn't disappeared, the throne would not have fallen to Liu Xie.

But now everyone has selected Liu Xie as the emperor, and then abolishing Liu Xie is not in line with the ancestral system, so although a small number of them want to support Liu Bian, the young emperor of the Han Dynasty, most of them still want Liu Xie to be the emperor. Xie continued to be emperor.

But He Jin didn't do it.

His nephew, Liu Bian, was originally the heir to the throne. Now that the throne is gone, although he is still a general, he is not of the blood of his He family.

On the other hand, Empress Dowager He didn't do it either. Her son came back, so she naturally wanted her son to be the emperor.

So Empress Dowager He and General He Jin took advantage of Huangfusong's extermination of the remnants of the Yellow Turban Party in Runan, directly planted several reasons, abolished Liu Xie's throne, and changed Liu Bian to be emperor.

Originally, everyone was well aware of this matter and understood what He Jin and Queen Mother He wanted to do, but there were a few stubborn old people who stood up and said that this was not in line with the ancestral system and did not agree with Queen Mother He to do so.

This immediately angered He Jin and Empress Dowager He. He Jin directly ordered those who opposed it to be imprisoned, and the voice of opposition was immediately silenced in the court.

After all, those who were really capable of opposing, Zhonglang general Lu Zhi was still in Xiliang to suppress the rebellion, Zhonglang general Huangfusong had not yet returned to the court, and the rest were not in Luoyang.

He Jin just wanted to use raw rice to cook mature rice, so that everything has already been done. Even if Lu Zhi, Huangfusong and others disagree, there is no other way. If you really have an opinion, you can only hold it in your mouth. I can't tell.

In just a few days, under his arrangement, He Jin allowed Liu Bian to ascend the throne again.

Manchu civil and military, dare not speak out.

For a moment, they could only succumb to He Jin's despotic power.

A few days later, Huangfusong, who had quickly returned to Luoyang after receiving news from Runan against the rebellion, went directly to the court, wanting to refute He Jin, reprimanding He Jin for violating the law.

But He Jin lifted Huangfusong's military power directly above the court, and let Huangfusong go home to farm.

Although Huangfusong was a military general, his status was still not as high as He Jin's, and he didn't have too many parties in the court, so naturally he couldn't fight He Jin, so he could only leave angrily.

This time, those who complained dared not speak out, and could only let it go.

After Liu Bian ascended the throne, He Jin became even more prosperous. His status once became the most popular family in Luoyang, with constant visitors every day.

He Jin, He Miao, and even the servants of the housekeeper of He Mansion all had a sense of superiority, and began to wantonly occupy the fields and houses around Luoyang.The system of buying and selling officials in the hands of Emperor Ling became even more severe in the hands of He Jin.

All the money from buying and selling officials during Lingdi's period went into Lingdi's pocket, but now, the money flowed into the hands of General He Jin, which naturally made him even crazier and amassing money.

At the same time, He Jin wantonly appointed his cronies, raised the status of those close to him, and recruited a large number of famous people to serve as officials in the court, eliminated dissidents, and unified the voices inside and outside the court.

Even Liu Zheng, whom he hated at the beginning, wanted to send troops to attack Liu Zheng. After Liu Bian returned to Luoyang, he gave up the idea.

The reason why he wanted to attack Liu Zheng before was because Liu Zheng took Liu Bian away, but now that Liu Bian is back, he naturally has no excuse to fight Liu Zheng.

Although he knew that Liu Zheng was in Jiaozhou and occupied several counties and counties in Jiaozhou, He Jin gave up when he heard that attacking Liu Zheng would cost a lot of money, food and troops, and that it was not something that could be done in a short time.

Chapter 268 Arrangements

Liu Zheng waited in Shaoyang City for two months, thinking that after the matter of Jizhou was settled, the people of the imperial court would definitely attack him.

However, within two months, there was no army waiting for the imperial court, but Xu You was waiting.

After Xu You left Jizhou, he had no other purpose, but went all the way south, heading directly to Jiaozhou.

Xu You had already heard about Liu Zheng's deeds when he was in Jizhou, and he already knew how prosperous Liu Zheng was in Jiaozhou.

After leaving Jizhou, he had nowhere to go, so he had to go to Liu Zheng. After all, he and Liu Zheng had been friends for a while, and Liu Zheng would definitely take him in.

Xu You's arrival really surprised Liu Zheng. He thought that Xu You would be suppressed by the court along with the rebellion in Jizhou, but he didn't expect Xu You to come to Jiaozhou to look for him.

For Xu You, Liu Zheng was naturally very happy, and hurriedly received Xu You.

Although Xu You was in a hurry when he left, Liu Zheng didn't blame Xu You for what he did that day, but chose to forget and use Xu You again.

After all, Liu Zheng still lacks some powerful counselors at this time, and although Yuan Zhou is half lucky to make suggestions for himself, Yuan Zhou is already a little unable to do what he wants, and needs some help.

The appearance of Xu You can naturally fill in some vacancies.It just so happened that Liu Zheng also needed more manpower.

And Liu Zheng also found out more news about the court from Xu You.

From Xu You's mouth, Liu Zheng knew that it was he who returned Han Shaodi Liu Bian to He Jin, and also learned about the abolition of Han Emperor in Luoyang.

Through these things, Liu Zheng roughly guessed why He Jin didn't mobilize troops against him at this time.

For one thing, the imperial court had just quelled the war in Jizhou and Runan, and at the same time relieved the military power of Zhonglang General Huang Fusong, which was the time when the imperial court was empty of troops.

He Jin not only had to send heavy troops to guard the court and guard the safety of Luoyang, but also to guard against the turmoil of those who harbored dissent, so this was really not the time to use troops against Liu Zheng.

After Liu Zheng knew the news, he felt at ease about his own safety for the time being. The current imperial court is in troubled times. In a short time, He Jin might not send troops to attack Liu Zheng.

Liu Zheng is not so worried anymore, now he can develop agriculture and resume production in Jiaozhou, and cultivate Jiaozhou into a powerful state and county.

It is now the end of November, and the north is already snowing heavily, but the Jiaozhou area is still as warm as spring.

There can be three seasons of crops planted in a year, and there are even special fruit products all year round.

Especially if you continue to the south and reach the Nichinan County area, it is even warmer.

For the next two months, Liu Zheng knew that the imperial court would not send troops to attack for the time being, so he only sent two battalions of Gan Ning and Zhou Cang to station in Shaoyang City, while Xu Huang and Huang Zhong's two battalions were stationed in Shaoyang City. The battalion soldiers and horses dispersed.

The reason why the two battalions were separated was because Liu Zheng had recruited 6 to [-] county soldiers in the Jiaozhou area in order to guard against the imperial court's soldiers and horses. Now three months have passed. Preliminary training in counties has also ended.

It was Liu Zheng who needed to select those qualified people and expand them to the frontline troops.

Under Liu Zheng's command, the soldiers and horses of the two most elite battalions are those under Xu Huang and Huang Zhong's command. The soldiers and horses of these two battalions each had 1 soldiers before.

But after repeated battles, only half of the veterans left today.

In order to implement the strategy of elite soldiers, Liu Zheng wanted to replenish his troops, so naturally he had to let these troops be selected from the county soldiers.

So let the people under Xu Huang and Huang Zhong act as small captains and go to various counties to select their own team members.

In addition, the one-year school study is coming to an end at this time, and those students who graduated from the school will also be promoted by Liu Zheng at this time to enter various camp schools.

The one Liu Zheng valued the most was Wenpin among the first batch of students. His academic performance was the best among these students. In addition, this guy himself had some martial arts by himself. After a year of study After contacting Xu Huang, Huang Zhong and others, his strength has made a qualitative leap in the past year. Although he is young, he has been able to go through [-] or [-] moves under Xu Huang without losing.

Huang Zhong and Xu Huang, who were deeply engaged in literature, valued them highly. Liu Zheng directly arranged the first batch of students to serve as team leaders in the battalion schools of Xu Huang, Huang Zhong, Gan Ning, Zhou Cang and others.

At the same time, when preparing for the beginning of the new year, the second phase of student recruitment will be held in the Jiaozhou area.

Xu Huang and Huang Zhong are in charge of this aspect.

As for the agricultural affairs, they were handed over to Shi Xie, the original Jiaozhou natives.

Let Gan Ning, Zhou Cang, Su Fei and others be in charge of the defense in the north, and now Liu Zheng is most concerned about business matters.

After all, Liu Zheng knows very well that if he wants to get rich, he must not just farm land, but also do business. Only trade can make him rich in a short period of time.

As for the current trade, Liu Zheng actually doesn't have many choices, because he has no communication with the imperial court, and it is impossible to do business directly with the imperial court.

At most, people from the Mi family will come forward, but at this time, it is impossible for the Mi family to directly send a caravan to Jiaozhou. In that case, the relationship between Liu Zheng and the Mi family will only be exposed, and it is only a matter of time before the Mi family is dealt with by the court. problem.

Therefore, if Liu Zheng wants to do business, he must form a caravan by himself and go to further places.

For example, through the coast, directly use the fleet to go to Youzhou.This kind of trade not only has great benefits, but can also bring back some things that Liu Zheng needs from Youzhou.

Such as strategic materials horses.

In other places, Liu Zheng couldn't get enough war horses at all. He had to go to Youzhou through coastal channels to buy war horses from Karasuma people and even Xianbei people.

After thinking about these things, he started to contact the Mi family's fleet, intending to second some of the people from the Mi family, and use Xuzhou as a transit point to establish a trade route from Hepu to Xuzhou and then to Youzhou.

If it is a long distance from Youzhou to Hepu, it may not be feasible, but with Mi's family in Xuzhou as a transit point, it is completely feasible, but it needs to be kept secret so that others cannot find out. This matter still needs to be discussed in the long term.

Just when Liu Zheng decided to think about forming a caravan, Shi Xie hurried over with someone.

Chapter 269 Lin Yiguo

Shi Xie hurriedly found Liu Zheng.

"My lord, there is news from Rinan County that there are soldiers and horses attacking our county."

As soon as Shi Xie came in and found Liu Zheng, he blurted out, which immediately stunned Liu Zheng.

He couldn't react right away. Isn't Rinan County the southernmost county in Jiaozhou? Its location in Vietnam in history, although it belongs to Jiaozhou now, is not close to the places where Jiaozhou is gathered. Just dispatching troops It will take more than ten days for the horse to arrive.

And how could that place be attacked by others?

Liu Zheng couldn't figure it out.

"What's going on, who is attacking our county?"

Liu Zheng wanted to know the reason of the incident urgently, so he immediately questioned Shi Xie. After all, Shi Xie was a local, and he knew what happened here better than Liu Zheng.
