"Moreover, Jingzhou is not Liu Mu's Jingzhou, but Cai Mao and Kuai Yue's Jingzhou. It doesn't really matter whether his heart is for the court or Yuan Shao. Whom Cai Mao and Kuai Yue's heart is for is the real key. He is nothing more than a puppet in the hands of Cai Hao and Kuai Yue. If the strategy is right, he may be able to save his life. If the strategy is not right, ruin is his only ending."

Xun Yun was skeptical, feeling that Liu Ba was exaggerating.

Celebrities, it's all like this, he has seen a lot.

The two were chatting, when Xun Yu came back with a serious expression on his face.

"The Son of Heaven will see you tomorrow morning." Xun Yu said.

Liu Ba is a smart man, seeing Xun Yu's expression, he knew that he should leave.

"Thank you Xunjun." Liu Ba got up and bowed, and took his attendants to the arranged residence.

Xun Yun also became nervous, sent Liu Ba to the door, and then rushed back.

"Father?"

"The Son of Heaven wants to accept your sister as a beauty."

Xun Yun was startled, and then gasped. "Father, this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity."

"It's a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, but also an unpredictable abyss." Xun Yu sighed. "Since the Han Dynasty, how many relatives have been able to escape unscathed?"

Xun Yun rolled his eyes, still unable to hide his excitement. "Father, she's just a beauty, not a relative?"

"This is the trouble. I may not have the fame and wealth of my relatives, but I have to bear the risks and responsibilities of my relatives. Forget it, let's not talk about it. Go and see if Gongda is back. I will discuss it with him."

Xun Yun hurried away.

Xun Yu sat in the hall, frowning, with a hint of regret.

If Chen Qun didn't go to Xuzhou with Liu Bei and got married directly, how could there be such troubles.

Even if it's an engagement.

Now he doesn't have any status, and he is not good at lying to the emperor, facing the emperor's request, he doesn't even have an excuse to refuse.

After a while, Xun You came.

After listening to Xun Yu's story, Xun You's expression was as calm as water, and he asked Xun Yu a question.

"Who told the emperor that you have a daughter and it's time to leave the cabinet?"

Xun Yu smiled wryly. "I can't think of it either, maybe it's Madam Hongnong?"

Xun You shook his head. "Mrs. Hongnong Wang is definitely not from Meng Lang. If she has this intention, she will definitely discuss it with you in advance."

Xun Yu agreed, but he couldn't think of who it was.Not many people knew that he had a marriageable daughter, and there were not many people who directly advised the emperor without communicating with him in advance.

"Who would that be?"

"God's will." Xun You said: "The Son of Heaven doesn't care how old your daughter is, nor how beautiful or ugly your daughter is. He just wants to marry you and hopes that you can become his trusted confidant."

Chapter 235

Xun Yu hesitated to speak several times, but in the end it turned into a sigh.

The emperor doesn't know who to trust, this is the most serious problem right now.

Yang Biao, Shi Sunrui and other veteran officials wanted to restore the old system, while Pei Mao and his son and other upstarts in Hedong wanted to seek personal gain.The Kanto faction is half-hearted, neither willing to take a clear-cut stand against Yuan Shao, nor forgetting to fight for power and profit, and maintain the superiority of the Kanto people.

In the face of these thoughts, the survival of the emperor has become a condition that can be bargained.

So he can only guarantee it through marriage.

"Gongda, is this a blessing or a curse?"

"Success is a blessing, failure is a disaster." Xun You said in a flat tone: "From the moment you set off for the DPRK, blessings and disasters are doomed. Now it's just raising the stakes."

Xun Yu stared at Xun You for a moment, then suddenly smiled. "Gongda, when it comes to making decisions, I'm not as good as you."

Xun You bowed slightly, but did not answer.

"I heard from Pei Juguang, did you meet him today?"

"I was fishing, and I saw him hesitating on the side of the road, so I said a few words." Xun You recounted how he met Pei Mao, and finally commented: "Pei Juguang has great ambitions, but his talents are too weak to be used. "

Xun Yun changed color in shock.

Xun Yu looked at Xun You, also quite surprised.

Xun You seldom commented on someone like this.

"At the moment, we have to rely on him to discuss with the Hadong clan, so we have to be submissive." Xun Yu explained.

Xun You nodded and breathed a sigh of relief. "Your Majesty wants to conquer the Xiongnu. The ordnance made by Tie Guan is very important. I am worried that he will affect Pei Wenxing's mood, so I have to say a few more words."

Xun Yu's eyes flickered slightly, and he suddenly realized that during the past few days of arguing whether the emperor should personally conquer the Huns, Xun You had not spoken.

Not only did he not say it in public, but he also did not discuss it with him in private.

"Gongda, do you support the Son of Heaven's conquest?"

"Your Majesty trains troops every day, isn't it just for conquest?" Xun You stood up and shook his sleeves. "Scholar Sun Junrong wasted his chance, but the Son of Heaven would not. He has made sufficient preparations for this battle. It is expected that he will win. The only difference lies in the outcome of the battle. Whether or not the Huns can be fought will depend on the Xiongnu, and they will conquer the northern border."

Xun Yu was very surprised. "Is it?"

Xun You nodded slightly. "The battle of Huayin was just a small test for the emperor. To defeat the Xiongnu is the battle for the emperor to become famous. I missed the battle of Huayin, and I will never miss this battle."

"But, where do we get the food, grass and baggage?"

"To deal with the Huns, the most feasible method is to support war with war." Xun You smiled. "But if you have the foresight and foresight, there is no possibility of a decisive victory. It may be the best result to retreat completely. If this is the case, it is better not to fight, so as to avoid disaster."

After Xun You finished speaking, he cupped his hands and turned to leave.

Xun Yu didn't move for a while, thinking of the thick dust on the emperor's armor.

Xun Yun also blushed and turned pale with fright.

Although Xun You didn't say much, what he revealed was extremely astonishing.

The emperor's thoughts are not in Anyi, not even in Hedong.Neither the veterans nor the people from Hedong can stop the emperor's pace, nor can he change the emperor's determination to conquer personally.

"Father..." Xun Yun said tremblingly.

Xun Yu raised his hand, signaling Xun Yun not to speak.

He knew exactly what kind of temper Xun You had.

If he was not worried that he would make a wrong choice at this critical moment, Xun You would never have told him this.

Thinking of those old ministers who were still fighting each other, and thinking of those rich families in Hedong who still wanted to bargain with the emperor, Xun Yu suddenly felt pity.

Unknowingly, these people have been abandoned by the emperor.

If you can keep up, just follow, if you can't keep up, it's fine, the emperor is moving forward all the way.

-

Liu Xie took a shower, put his hips on his hips, and looked at himself under the light.

With the preliminary settlement of the food, he became stronger visibly with the naked eye, and the muscles on his body became stronger and stronger.

This is not muscle mass built in the gym, but muscle built thousands of times with knives, bows, and spears.

Today, he is getting closer and closer to being a qualified cavalry general.

"Your Majesty, the ministers and concubines are serving the bed." Song Du walked in, his eyes fell on Liu Xie, and his face became inexplicably hot.

"Don't worry, I still need to practice a few ways of channeling."

Song Du bit his lip with a resentful expression. "I haven't seen you for a few days, His Majesty's schedule has changed again."

He glanced at Song Du. "Didn't the queen tell you?"

Song Du remained silent, turned around and tidied up the bed, wiping the quilt that had been made evenly.

Liu Xie understood it in his heart, but didn't say much.

The queens and nobles sound nice, but they are actually fourteen or fifteen-year-old girls, and a small mind is a necessary adjustment in life.

In the final analysis, there is still too little homework.

"How soon will your father be here?"

"It stands to reason that we should have arrived, but it may have been delayed on the way." Mentioning his father, Song Du regained his energy. "What is His Majesty going to arrange for him?"

"What can he do?" Liu Xie twisted his neck and began to guide his body to relax.

This is taught by Wang Yue, who said that practicing every morning and evening can maintain the flexibility of the body.

"He was the prefect of Changshan."

"How about martial arts?"

"It's not bad, it's worse than General Huben Zhonglang."

Liu Xie almost laughed out loud, stopped guiding, and glanced at Song Du.

Song Du was a little embarrassed, and turned his eyes elsewhere.

Song Hong does have martial arts skills, but compared with Song Guo, it is not as good as 01:30.

The fact that Song Guo killed Jiaqi by throwing a spear in front of the battle is now known to everyone.The tigers admired Song Guo so much that many of them learned how to throw spears from him.

"Since you have been the prefect, let's continue to be the prefect." Liu Xie said while guiding, "The prefects of Shangjun and Xihe have been absent for a long time, Wuyuan..."

"There are no people in those counties." Song was very disappointed and pouted.

Even though she didn't care much about political affairs, she knew that Taiyuan and Shangdang were the only remaining counties in Bingzhou.

"It's not that there are no people, it's that there are no officials." Liu Xie finished the introduction, sat by the bed, and let out a soft breath. "The officials are unwilling to go, and the people have no master to rely on, so they can only be bullied and enslaved by the Huns. Over time, they even forget that they are the people of the Han family and are accustomed to Hu Feng. I want to change all this and let them Know that the Han people are the masters of this land. The court has not forgotten them, I have not forgotten them."

Song was a little worried. "Your Majesty, my concubine...I'm afraid that he will delay His Majesty's hegemony. Otherwise, Your Majesty should arrange something else. His performance appraisal in Changshan...is not very good."

"What's wrong with that?"

"Hmm... disturbing the people."

"Disturbing the people?"

"Yeah." Song Du lowered his head and rubbed his fingers. "The governor of Jizhou impeached him for invading the local area, which almost led to a civil uprising."

Liu Xie smiled.

The people mentioned by the governor of Jizhou are most likely not real people, but local tycoons.

Although I don't know what Song Hong's ability is, but he is not willing to be manipulated by others.But anyone who is sensible and willing to bow to the local tyrants will generally have a good official reputation.

Fan Mengbo, the prefect of Runan, and Huanuo, the head of the Nanyang clan.Cen Gongxiao, the prefect of Nanyang, Hongnong Chengzhen but sits and screams.

In this era, the prefect who doesn't care about things is a good prefect.

Chapter 236 The Wizard Liu Ba

Early the next morning, Liu Xie got up to practice martial arts, Song Du also struggled to get up, rubbed his eyes, yawned, and prepared breakfast for Liu Xie.

One-stop service for sleeping and eating.

Although she does not need to cook by herself, it is not easy for a little girl who is just fourteen or fifteen years old to start at dawn.

What's more, I slept so late yesterday.

She didn't know that there was a 15 soul in Liu Xie's 996-year-old body, so she couldn't understand why Liu Xie was so self-disciplined. Can't stop.

Only when she thought that the emperor planned to make her father Song Hong the prefect of a county in Bingzhou, and confidently said that this was a good job, could she cheer up and freshen up.

If someone else said this, she would definitely not believe it.

The emperor said so, and she believed it.

From the fact that the group of old ministers were exhausted, but they didn't know what the emperor was thinking at all, it can be seen that the emperor's intelligence is not as simple as memorizing books quickly and remembering them firmly.

This is a hero whose sacred heart is unpredictable.

Song Du sat on the dressing table for a while, and suddenly thought, should he tell his clan uncle Song Guo the news?

Song Guo has gotten too close to Shi Sunrui and Wei Jie recently, and the emperor seems to be a little dissatisfied with him.

-

After breakfast, Song Du took the initiative to ask to go out of the city with the emperor.

Looking at Song Du who was smiling sweetly, Liu Xie was somewhat surprised.
