"Don't dare, I am willing to do my best to present my foolish opinion."

Liu Xie raised his arm and pointed to the east. "One is to go east, enter Youzhou, patrol Daijun, Shanggu, and approach Jizhou." Then he turned and pointed to the west. "One is to enter Liangzhou, inspect the four counties, and visit Yizhou."

Jia Xu pondered for a moment. "With the selfishness of the minister, it is natural to look westward. The battle of abandoning Liangzhou for a hundred years is precisely because the ancestors established Luoyang as the capital, and did not pay enough attention to Liangzhou. His Majesty's presence in person can boost the morale of Liangzhou's people. In terms of public opinion, It is better to go east. Yuan Shao did not return to Yuzhou, but went to Jizhou, just like the ancestors who relied heavily on Youzhou to ride, so we must guard against it."

"I heard that all ten counties in Youzhou have Tuqi, but Yuyang and Shanggu are the most. Why is that?"

Jia Xu froze for a moment, thinking for a while. "Maybe it's because the two counties have both farming and animal husbandry. If there is farming but no farming, they will be rich but not strong. If they have farming but not farming, they will be strong but not rich. If they have both farming and animal husbandry, they can have strong troops and rich families. It can support some people to study and learn the art of war. After all, geniuses like Huo Qubing are rare, and most people learn it later.”

"Just like Liangzhou Sanming?"

Jia Xu nodded and sighed again. "Liangzhou and Youzhou can't be compared. After all, as early as the Shang and Zhou Dynasties, the Zhuojun area of ​​Youzhou was a place of clothing. Liangzhou didn't become infected with the civilization of the Central Plains until the time of Xiaowu. Before that, even the Qin people made a fortune. Those in Longyou are all barbarians."

"Even counting from the time of Xiaowu, it has been 300 years since Liangzhou entered China." Liu Xie turned around and looked at Jia Xu. "Sir, don't you want to hear the children of the four counties reading aloud in your lifetime?"

Jia Xu stared at Liu Xie for a moment, then bowed, his words choked with sobs.

"On behalf of the scholars and commoners of the four counties in Hexi, I respectfully ask Your Majesty to make a tour."

Chapter 384 Long-term planning

When Yuan Shao was about to sweep the Kanto, Liu Xie proposed to visit Liangzhou, not only to promote education and develop culture.

This kind of thing never happens overnight, and long-term planning must be carried out in units of ten years.

He did this because he still wanted to stabilize Liangzhou and prevent Liangzhou from becoming an unstable factor again.

For example, Han Sui.

In the last war, Han Sui came here while he was in high spirits, but returned in defeat.Apart from the head of the white horse copper, there is almost nothing to mention about the military exploits.

Even with the head of Baima Bronze, Han Sui pales in comparison to Wang Fu's achievements in beheading Fuluohan, Ma Chao beheading Louman and Xie Guini.

After Ma Teng entered the court as a Weiwei, Ma Chao was promoted to General Pi, and actually took over Ma Teng's position as General Zhengxi. Although Han Sui was also promoted to a higher level, he seemed embarrassed.

What would he think in his heart, Liu Xie didn't know.But he didn't believe that Han Sui would be calm, and he didn't believe that Han Sui would suddenly wake up and reflect on himself.Han Sui will most likely attribute this responsibility to the court and others.

It is indispensable to be defensive, especially for Han Sui, who has a fat heart like Han Sui.If he didn't go to Liangzhou to take a look, he would be worried after all.

If Yuan Shao sent someone to contact Han Sui to instigate Han Sui's rebellion, Liangzhou would be in great trouble again.

As for Youzhou, it's just like that anyway, and it won't get any worse.

In addition to being worried about Han Sui, there is another important reason why Liu Xie went to Liangzhou to take a look.

The four counties in Hexi are the top priority for reopening the commercial routes in the Western Regions.Now the production in Hedong and Guanzhong has not resumed, and the commerce and trade are close to none. Naturally, the importance of the four counties in Hexi cannot be seen.Once the population in Hedong and Guanzhong increases, production resumes, and a large number of commodities need to be sold, it will be too late to consider the safety of the four counties in Hexi.

Everything must be done in advance, which is Liu Xie's consistent practice.

Liu Xie first confessed to Jia Xu and got Jia Xu's support, and then discussed this issue openly with Xun You and others.

The discussion was intense, and many people, including Xun You, disagreed with Liu Xie's tour of Liangzhou at this time.

The reason is simple, if Yuan Shao sweeps through Kanto and launches an attack on Kansai, Liu Xie may not be able to come back in time.

What they said made sense, but Liu Xie also had a longer-term plan.

As far as the current situation is concerned, even if Yuan Shao can quickly capture all of the Guandong and then attack westward, he still does not have enough strength to break through.

Taihang Jiuxing, Luoyang Eight Passes, Tianjing Pass, Zhi Pass, Tong Pass, and Wu Pass, which pass is the easiest to conquer?As long as the guards are properly arranged and they don't cooperate with Yuan Shaoli, it is impossible for Yuan Shao to drive straight in.

A small Dongwuyang caused Yuan Shao to suffer for half a year, and Yuan Shao's command ability on the battlefield was already clear.

In terms of the current strength of the imperial court, it also has more than enough self-defense and insufficient offense.This is not a question of the general's ability, but the limitation of military strength, money and food.If you want to launch a counterattack, you can't do it without three to five years of recuperation.

Take this opportunity to take a walk around Liangzhou. Although there are risks, it will undoubtedly be worthwhile if the unstable factors in Liangzhou can be eliminated.

After arguing several times in a row, Liu Xie finally made concessions.Zhang Liao was transferred to be the prefect of Shanggu, Gao Shun was the prefect of Daijun, and Zang Hong, who was about to rush to the court, was the prefect of Yanmen.

When Liu Xie was not in Meiji, Yang Biao, the Dahongyu, acted as the Taiwei and took full charge of the military affairs of northern Xinjiang.

Seeing that Liu Xie had made up his mind, Yang Biao, Xun You and others had no choice but to accept it.

-

"Your Majesty wants to visit Liangzhou?" Lu Bu jumped up, his eyes widened.

"Yeah." Lu Xiaohuan nodded vigorously, dancing with excitement. "Ah Weng, I'm going to the Western Regions. I'll bring you any gift you want. Is it a BMW from the Western Regions, or a beautiful jade from Kunlun, or a blue-eyed Hu..."

"What are you, I think you are confused." Mrs. Wei's almond-eyed eyes widened, and she scolded angrily: "You, Aunt, are introspecting behind closed doors and can't go out. If you weren't young and the emperor took pity on you, You should also study at home, how can you go wild."

Lu Xiaohuan closed her mouth and looked at Lu Bu helplessly.

Lu Bu rolled his eyes. "Ma'am, it can't be done. The emperor's visit to Liangzhou is not a matter of a day or two, nor a month or two months. Maybe it will take a year or two. If I don't follow, after the one-year period expires, there will be no Edict, I still can’t leave the house. You see, Wenyuan and Ziping have both made two thousand shi, and I only have a marquis, but no official position, is it inappropriate?”

"What official position do you want?" Mrs. Wei sneered. "If you can't give birth to a son, there will be no one to inherit the Marquis."

Lu Bu suddenly darkened his face. "Is it my fault that I can't have a son?"

"It's hard to say." Madam Wei pinched her waist, held her head high, and looked directly at Lu Bu. "I asked someone to ask Doctor Hua, and he said whether to have a son or not is not my business alone, but yours. I have given birth to Xiaohuan, which means I can have one. The reason why I didn't have a son is you no."

Lu Bu was impatient. "Why can't I? One night I won't be..." Turning his head to see Lu Xiaohuan beside him, he quickly shut his mouth again and winked desperately at Mrs. Wei.

Madam Wei ignored him at all. "Then tell me, you have slept with so many wild women, which of them gave birth to a son and a half for you? Could it be that Asu is your son? Then you should bring him back. Don't worry, I will never be jealous, I will definitely Take care of yourself."

"Uh..." Cold sweat broke out on Lu Bu's forehead, and his eyes blinked.

Lu Xiaohuan took a moment to tug at Lu Bu's sleeve. "Aon, what do you do every night?"

"What are you asking nonsense?" Lu Bu became furious, shook off Lu Xiaohuan's hand, and rushed out the door. "I'll ask Physician Hua to see what he said." His voice came from a distance, and then it was mixed with the sound of horseshoes and disappeared.

"Mum, what does Ah Weng do every night?" Lu Xiaohuan didn't give up, and hugged Mrs. Wei's arm again, coquettishly.

Mrs. Wei wanted to go after Lu Bu, but was held back by Lu Xiaohuan. She turned her head and glared at Lu Xiaohuan. She was about to scold her for being biased, but then she said, "Xiaohuan, you are not young anymore. There are some things I should teach you. .In case the Son of Heaven wants...to want you, you should be prepared."

"The Son of Heaven... wants me?" Lu Xiaohuan thought of something, suddenly became shy, turned around and wanted to run, but was grabbed by Mrs. Wei.

"Xiaohuan, tell Grandma how the emperor treats you?"

"The Son of Heaven is very kind to me." Lu Xiaohuan struggled, blushing. "He is very good to the female guards around him."

"They're all good?" Mrs. Wei was taken aback, thought for a while, and then said, "Do you have any particular preference?"

"No." Lu Xiaohuan scratched her head, and said again: "If there is, it is to go to sister Lu, she often goes to the emperor's tent. But she is going to find sister Zhaoji to learn. It's just to meet the emperor more, Get closer."

Mrs. Wei was puzzled. "Then which women did he call to sleep with?"

Lu Xiaohuan shook her head repeatedly. "I don't know, I haven't seen it anyway."

Mrs. Wei let go of Lu Xiaohuan, took two steps back and forth, then stopped suddenly, her eyes widened, and she yelled.

"Does he like masculinity?"

Chapter 385

Liu Xie was not surprised to see Lu Bu coming on horseback.

The reason for letting Lu Xiaohuan know in advance that he was going to tour the west was to stimulate Lu Bu.

He had heard a long time ago that Lu Bu was going crazy after months of introspection at home.Can't go around without talking, Mrs. Wei also secretly changed the concept, interpreting the edict ordering Lu Bu to reflect behind closed doors as telling him to hurry up and give birth to a son.

Taking Lu Bu on the west tour is not only an extra bodyguard with explosive force value, but also a general for the big man.

As long as Lu Bu doesn't recognize him as his father.

Lv Bu rushed over ten miles away, flew off his horse, jumped a little anxiously, almost knelt on the ground, startled Liu Xie.

"Marquis Wen, did you remember the date wrong?" Liu Xie deliberately put on a tiger face.

"Your Majesty, my subject..." Lu Bu stood firm, swallowed, and forced a smirk. "I heard that His Majesty will be patrolling the west, and I am here to ask for orders. I am willing to be a knight and protect His Majesty."

"Thank you Wen Hou for your concern. But there is no shortage of warriors around me, so there is no need for Wen Hou to work hard." Liu Xie said unhurriedly: "Not to mention Guo Wu, Yan Xing, Zhang Xiu and others. Hou. With their accompanying protection, who would dare to commit crimes?"

Sweat dripped from Lu Bu's forehead.Of course he had heard of Zhao Yun, who was born in Baima Yicong, and fought against Yan Xing several times, regardless of the outcome.As soon as he came, he was worshiped by the emperor as a regular servant of Sanqi, and he held the left part of Sanqi.Even when Lu Xiaohuan talked about Zhao Yun, his eyebrows were beaming and his eyes were shining.

It can be said that as soon as Zhao Yun came, he became famous in Meiji.

Maybe it won't be long before no one will remember Lu Bu among others, only Zhao Yun will be remembered.

Lu Bu was under a lot of pressure, and if he shut himself up and introspected, he would be useless and his reputation would be ruined.

"Your Majesty bears the hope of the world. It is a blessing that all the sages have arrived. I am dull and vulgar, and dare not stand side by side with all the sages. I just want to be a knight in front of the saddle for your majesty, lead the horse and fall into the stirrup for your majesty, and do my best to live up to your majesty." The grace of cracking the earth and ennobling the title."

As Lu Bu spoke, he lifted his clothes and knelt down on the ground. "His Majesty Wanwang has mercy."

Looking at Lu Bu who looked like a tiger prostrated his head, Liu Xie was deeply moved.

It's really a matter of luck, if it wasn't for the great victory in northern Xinjiang and the great increase in the court's prestige, how could Lu Bu be so well-behaved?

"Marquis Wen has been successful in his studies recently, his words are gentle and elegant, and he lives up to Marquis Wen's name."

Lu Bu blushed.This is the words he has thought about for a long time, and he has indeed spent some time thinking about it.As for reading, he has indeed read some books recently.Every time Mrs. Wei quarreled and made him uneasy, he used reading as an excuse to stay away.

Thinking of Mrs. Wei, Lu Bu felt chills in his heart.

He really didn't want to shut himself up with Mrs. Wei to introspect again, and he might die before his son was born.

"I hope Your Majesty will show mercy." Lu Bu bowed again.

Liu Xie waited for a while, and then reluctantly let go. "Since Marquis Wen is sincere, I will agree. From now on, you will be given the title of servant and will follow me around."

Lu Bu was overjoyed. "Thank you, Your Majesty."

As long as he can go on tour with the emperor, he will be very satisfied.Unexpectedly, there was a surprise, and the title of servant was added.

The attendant is not only a high-ranking official than Erqianshi, but also a close minister of the emperor, who can see the emperor at any time.

Before Lu Bu was happy, Liu Xie said again: "There are three members of your family, and the family relationship is difficult to understand. Since your father and daughter are already accompanying you, why don't you add another one and let your wife also accompany you, so as not to separate the flesh and blood, which is not in line with human relations. Delayed your heir again."

Startled, Lu Bu raised his head and looked at Liu Xie.

Liu Xie raised his eyebrows. "Why, don't you want to?"

"No, no." Lu Bu came back to his senses and bowed to accept the order. "I am grateful, on behalf of my wife and daughter, thank you Your Majesty."

-

Zang Hong took the way to Hedong and visited Yin Xunyu of Hedong.

He and Xun Yu had known each other before, so they reunited in Hedong at this moment, so naturally they had a special feeling in their hearts.

Xun Yu asked him about his experiences along the way, especially what he had seen and heard when passing through Hanoi.

Dong Zhao, the prefect of Hanoi, was also an old acquaintance, but they didn't have much contact.Now Dong Zhao abandoned Yuan Shao and returned to the imperial court, and was worshiped by the emperor as the prefect of Hanoi, but he still maintained a certain degree of independence, rarely reporting the situation to Xun Yu, and Xun Yu knew very little about the situation.

Zang Hong was somewhat disdainful. "Dong Zhao is a man who values ​​profit over righteousness, but he still has abilities. Hanoi is still relatively stable, but compared to Hedong, it is still far behind."

Xun Yu smiled and said, "Ziyuan, what's wrong, you can speak up, don't use these false words to deal with me."

Zang Hong gave Xun Yu a dissatisfied look. "Do I need to flatter you? I'm telling the truth." He thought for a while, and then said: "It's not that there are some inappropriate things, but I'm new here, so I don't know the truth, so I dare not speak out .If there is a chance to check it out, then it’s okay.”

"Like what?"

"I heard that in order to make up for the lack of registered permanent residence, Hedong employs women as workers, and there are even workshops mainly for women."

"You mean Zhifang, right?" Xun Yu nodded. "It's true, the person in charge is the emperor's wife, the young emperor's widow."

"It seems to be more than that."

"She's still my cousin."

"So you don't ask?" Zang Hong sneered: "The sage said that men farm and women weave, and there is a difference between inside and outside. Women show their faces, run business directors, what is the proper way? Now after the chaos, the lack of household registration may be possible. It is an expedient measure. I am afraid that the people will take it for granted, and the household registration will multiply in the future, and they will still follow it, and even mix men and women, and the folk customs will be obscene, but it will be too late to regret.”

Xun Yu smiled and said nothing.

He is Hedong Yin. I don't know how many times he has heard such words, and he has long been immune.

"Thank you Ziyuan for reminding me, I will pay attention to it. Throw me a peach, and repay me with a plum. I also have a word to remind you."

"You said."

"The son of heaven's ambition is to rejuvenate, but not only for one family and one surname, but to practice the way of a sage and promote the government of a king." Xun Yu slowed down his speech, making sure that Zang Hong could hear every word clearly. "After the chaos, the world is uneasy. Not only are men and women mixed together, loyalty and traitors are even more difficult to distinguish. The emperor remembers his merits and forgets his past mistakes. He is a warrior. After Ziyuan entered the court, he should put the overall situation first, and tolerance is the greatest. Don’t disappoint the emperor’s high hopes by showing off your temper.”

Zang Hong frowned. "You mean Cao Cao?"

Xun Yu nodded slightly. "Before you, Cao Ang, the son of Cao Cao, and others have gone north, and you will meet him by the side of the emperor."

Zang Hong took a deep breath, held it for a moment, and then let it out slowly. "I have a grudge against Cao Cao, but I have no grudge against Cao Ang, and I don't care about a junior."

"That's good." Xun Yu also breathed a sigh of relief. "I just received the imperial edict, the emperor worships you as the prefect of Yanmen, and I want you to take up the post as soon as possible."
