"How long is Your Majesty going to stay in Hedong?"
Liu Xie looked at Zhang Xi suspiciously. "Why did Sikong say that?"
"If your Majesty stays for a short time and leaves, just find a bigger city to stay in. If you stay for a long time, you can't be too casual. You should cut wood and use materials to build a palace. There is no foundation in the eastern direction, and the talents and material resources used may not be small. , I should plan carefully and prepare early."
"It doesn't have to be so troublesome." Liu Xie waved his hand. "The world is in turmoil. I'm afraid I will spend most of my time in the barracks on horseback. There is no need to waste manpower and material resources on building large-scale construction. If Sikong has the heart, why not build more workshops to forge ordnance."
Zhang Xi was very happy when he heard this.
Zhao Wen was also very satisfied.
The emperor intends to conquer, and the affairs of the court and China must be handed over to the Sangong.It seems that the previous talk about returning to power was definitely not a whim.
"This is the duty that ministers should do."
Chapter 195
Consensus on the direction was achieved, and differences that might have occurred disappeared.
The emperor had already given two chances to Wei, who was right in front of him, but Wei Gu was so stubborn that he turned a deaf ear to him. If he didn't use the thunderbolt method, he was afraid that others would follow suit, and the dignity of the court would disappear.
Punishment by force is imperative, and the next thing to discuss is how to do it.
The specific combat missions are in charge of the fake Taiwei Sun Rui, and the issues that Zhao Wen and Zhang Xi have to consider are food and ordnance.
At this time, Liu Xiecai told them that he had arranged for Pei Mao to go to Anyi overnight, and ordered the counties to dispatch grain in the name of the prefect Wang Yi.If all goes well, food will be delivered to Daying by tomorrow at the latest.
However, in case of emergency, Liu Xie has a backup plan.
After the order, General Yang Ding led his troops to Anyi, preparing to march towards Yishi and Xie counties along the Sushui River Valley, and forcefully expropriate the grain stored in the counties to supply the army.
Zhao Wen and Zhang Xi felt it was wrong, but they had no better way.
The northern and southern armies led by the fake Taiwei Sun Rui are the emperor's own army. If the Xiliang army led by Yang Ding is not allowed to do this kind of dirty work, the emperor's own army cannot be done.
The lesser of two evils is the only way to go.
I hope that the counties in Hedong can know the pros and cons, and don't make the same mistakes again and again.
After obtaining the support of Zhao Wen and Zhang Xi, Liu Xie immediately ordered people to summon the scholar Sun Rui.
Shi Sun Rui had no objection to Liu Xie's arrangement and followed it.
Liu Xie then asked Shi Sun Rui, I have solved the problem of food for you, how many days will it take you to take down Weishiwubao?
Shi Sunrui said with confidence that as long as food was available, within five days at the fastest and ten days at the slowest, Weishiwubao would definitely be conquered.
Liu Xie agreed, and then said, "You lead the Weiwei Battalion and the Fifth Northern Army School to attack Weishiwubao. I will lead Huben, Habayashi Lang, and Xiaoqi General Zhang Yang to raid the formation for you, and strive to calm down the east of the river before the La Festival and cross the border." A stable year.
As soon as this remark came out, Zhao Wen and the three couldn't help feeling sour.
Since Dong Zhuo's chaos, the court has been in panic and helpless, and the monarchs and ministers have lived in fear.Going out every day is like parting from life and death, and I don't know if I can come back alive.Now that I have settled in Hedong, I can finally have a stable New Year.
With this in mind, Wei and Fan's crimes were added to the list.
Ignorant rats!When the emperor came, he did not stand in the middle of the road to welcome him. He dared to be an enemy of the imperial court. He deserved death.
The monarchs and ministers are of one mind, beheading the heads of these rebellious officials and thieves, offering flags and drums to celebrate the prosperity of the great Han Dynasty.
-
Sun Rui went to arrange various matters to besiege the Wei family, while Liu Xie ordered Yang Ding and Zhang Yang to be summoned to prepare them for moving the camp.
Fan's Wubao is in the northeast of Anyi City, separated from Wei's by Anyi City, by the Sushui River.
Both Yang Ding and Zhang Yang had nearly a thousand cavalry, and their war horses needed a lot of forage. They were stationed near the Su River, so that they could replace forage with hay and alleviate the shortage of forage.
In addition, considering that the Huns were stationed in Pingyang, it was only three hundred miles away from Anyi.If they go south to reinforce Wei and Fan, they can also provide the necessary vigilance and cover.
Although there is no evidence that Wei, Fan and the Huns colluded, no one can guarantee.
When marching and fighting, you can't take chances.
If Shi Sunrui was attacked by the Huns when he was attacking the Wei family, the consequences would be disastrous.
Yang Ding and Zhang Yang obeyed their orders happily, and then returned to camp to prepare.
-
At noon, the first batch of food was sent to Daying.
This is the grain that Pei Mao raised from Anyi city, it is the grain donated by some families, the quantity is limited, there are only more than [-] shi in total, it can only be used for emergencies, so that the army will not run out of food.
But Pei Mao is very confident, other counties dare not say, Wenxi will definitely respond to the imperial edict.
Recently, tomorrow night, food will definitely be delivered.
Liu Xie had mixed feelings in his heart. Pei Mao worked so hard, so it was not a free contribution, and the court had to give a corresponding reward.
Liu Xie left most of the food to Shi Sunrui, and went on the road on an empty stomach, preparing to eat in Anyi.
Sun Rui was very grateful, and Zhao Wen, Zhang Xi and others were also very ashamed.Although my stomach growled with hunger, I couldn't say anything.
The emperor endured it, so naturally their courtiers also had to endure it.
Fortunately, I am used to suffering from hunger and hunger in the past few years, so it doesn't matter if I go hungry again.
Compared with two months ago, we have seen hope so far.
-
Before arriving in Anyi City, Liu Xie encountered the second batch of food transport teams, which were even smaller in number, with only one ox cart and a few sacks, estimated to be around thirty or forty stones.
The carts were pulled not by cows, but by several skinny farmers. The leader was an old man with dark skin, wrinkled face, and ragged clothes. Seeing the army, they were very nervous and crawled on the side of the road with their heads covered. I dare not lift it.
Liu Xie was surprised at first, but then he was very angry.
In order to get promoted, is Pei Mao unscrupulous, even taking away the rations of ordinary people's homes?
How many problems can be solved by these dozens of stones of grain, but for these common people, it is likely to be the guarantee of survival.
Liu Xie endured his anger, got off his horse, sat on the side of the road, and ordered Zhao Wen and others to be invited.
Zhao Wen glanced at the ox carts and farmers, and then understood what was going on, and his face darkened.
Holding back his anger, he bowed and said, "Your Majesty, I'm going to ask you?"
Liu Xie nodded without saying a word.
Zhao Wen walked over, helped the old man up, asked a few words, and pointed in the direction of Liu Xie.
After a while, he led the old man over, looking a little excited.
The old man rushed to Liu Xie, squinted his eyes, glanced at Liu Xie, and knelt on the ground with a plop.
"Minister Zhao Qing, I pay my respects to Your Majesty."
Liu Xie reached out to help the old man up, but looked at Zhao Wen suspiciously.
Zhao Wen had tears in his eyes, but he didn't speak.
Liu Xie had no choice but to look back at the old man, only to find that the old man was also in tears, and his gray and messy beard was covered with tears and snot.
"Old man, you are..."
"The minister is from Anyi, and he came to greet him with his children and the food stored at home." Zhao Qing said while weeping: "The minister was a guard seven years ago, and he was in Luoyang for a year. The first emperor looked at the school soldiers, and the minister was brave. I was lucky enough to see the face of the sky. For seven years, I have never forgotten it, but today I saw the majestic appearance of the great man again."
Only then did Liu Xie realize that these were not the food collected by Pei Mao, but sent by Zhao Qing on his own initiative.
And the reason why he took the initiative to donate food was because he participated in the school soldiers in Luoyang ten years ago, met the late emperor, and saw the majesty of the great man.
In fact, he was just an ordinary guard, the late emperor didn't remember him at all, and the so-called majesty of the great man had nothing to do with him.
These dozens of stones of grain may be the entire ration of his family, even including next year's seeds.
"Old man, these grains..." Liu Xie had a sore nose and didn't know what to say.
Zhao Qing wiped his nose and said with a tearful smile: "Your Majesty is here, I have nothing to offer, only this little food. I am old and can no longer hold a halberd for Your Majesty. If Your Majesty does not dislike it, I will follow these few Pick a few of the unworthy sons and let them serve His Majesty instead of ministers."
Zhang Xi frowned, and was about to speak up, but was stopped by Liu Xie.
"Old man, how old are you this year?"
"Three out of fifty."
Liu Xie was taken aback. 53?He thought it was 73.
"53 years old, just in the prime of life, why bother to say old. They, I take them, and you stay too. If you can't hold a halberd, you will raise horses for me. Do you know how to raise horses? If not, it doesn't matter, you can do whatever you want. ?”
Zhao Qing was overjoyed. "Your Majesty... Seriously?"
"One word from the emperor, four horses are hard to follow."
Chapter 196
Both Zhao Wen and Zhang Xi were stunned.
How many officials are awarded for a cart of grain in the blink of an eye?
Zhang Xi hurriedly stopped. "Your Majesty, it is indeed precious for the people to eat pots of pulp to welcome the king's teacher. But officials and lords are important tools of the court and should not be given lightly. If the people in Hedong hear the wind and respond, your majesty cannot reward them all. Resentment will damage His Majesty's reputation."
Zhao Wen was silent.
Liu Ai, the attendant, also persuaded: "What Sikong said is very true. And Zhao Qing is grateful for the kindness of the first emperor and devoted all he has. Loyalty is commendable, but this wind cannot help. The people are not rich. If someone starves to death because of it, Wouldn't it be contrary to His Majesty's original intention?"
Taichang Wang Jiang and others agreed one after another.
Liu Xie is as immovable as a mountain.
It cannot be said that their reasons are unreasonable, but he has enough reasons to believe that this is by no means their most important reason.
Of course, their target was not Zhao Qing, but the rich Hedong family who had more food.
If Zhao Qing's father and son donate dozens of stones and grains to be awarded officials, how many official positions will the Hedong clan take away?
But he is by no means impulsive.
It was indeed a coincidence that he met Zhao Qing, but how to gain a foothold in Hedong and at the same time not be swayed by the rich clan of Hedong has been in his mind for a long time.
Zhao Qing just happened to meet him.
Liu Xie said to Zhao Qing: "These grains are the only ones in your family, right? Do they also include seeds?"
Zhao Qing cupped his hands and said: "Your Majesty, this is indeed the only food in my family. But it doesn't matter. Although I am old, I still have the martial arts from back then. I can go hunting in the mountains and sell it for some food. As for the seeds, I can also borrow some. , more than ten acres of land, and not many seeds are needed."
He knelt down and kowtowed again. "Your Majesty's great kindness, I am grateful, but I dare not accept the official position. I hope that Your Majesty can prosper the great man, build peace, and let the younger generations live a peaceful life. Even if I starve to death, I am willing."
Liu Xie helped Zhao Qing up. "The old man treats the court with sincerity, how can the court abandon him? How about this, I accept your food. There are still a few people in your family, and how much food you need every day will be provided by me. If you have the energy to go hunting in the mountains, the imperial court will buy what you get. It’s just that the imperial court is poor, so the price won’t be too high. Will the old man be willing?”
Zhao Qing was stunned, blinking his old eyes, not understanding what Liu Xie meant.
Zhao Wen reacted in an instant, took a step forward, and said loudly, "It's the great man's fortune that His Majesty can share weal and woe with his subjects."
Zhang Xi, Liu Ai and others looked at Zhao Wen suspiciously, not knowing whether to second the proposal or continue to dissuade him.
Zhao Wen sighed: "The loyalty of the people in Hedong is rare and precious. If all the people in the world can advance and retreat with the imperial court like Hedong, why worry about the great man's downfall and the world not being peaceful?"
He saluted again solemnly. "Your Majesty, I think it is feasible. Not only is it possible to do it in Hedong, but it should also be enforced in the world."
Liu Xie nodded with satisfaction. "Although Situ is approaching his sixtieth year, he still has a strong heart. This is also the luck of the court and my luck."
Zhao Wen said a few words modestly, finally letting go of a big rock that had been in his heart for a long time.
Seeing this, Zhang Xi and the others had no choice but to agree.
Civil affairs are the responsibility of Situ.Since Situ Zhao Wen agreed with the emperor's decision, it was not easy for them to stop him.
Liu Xie immediately ordered that several of Zhao Qing's sons be incorporated into the team, and they would first be responsible for the transfer task and do some physical work.Zhao Qing himself was awarded the official position of Habayashiro, and he stayed in the imperial camp specially to feed the emperor's horses.
Zhao Qing and his son were so grateful that they knelt down to thank them.
-
Start again and rush to Anyi.
Zhang Xi and Zhao Wen were in the same car, and whispered, "Zirou, are you going to trick the emperor into selling his official position?"
Zhao Wen squinted at him and chuckled: "Do you know how many household registrations there are in Hedong?"
Zhang Xi shook his head.
"There were more than 9 registered households in Hedong at the time, but now it is less than half. According to Pei Juguang's estimate, it may be less than [-]."
"So what?" Zhang Xi said angrily, "Most of the people in exile are ordinary people, but the losses of the big families are limited, and they might even get richer."
