Han Dao world

Liu Xie was not surprised at all, but he knew that although the textile industry in Yizhou and Jingzhou had potential, most of the silk products would go to Tianzhu instead of Liangzhou through the Southwest Road.

Although Jia Xu has wisdom, he does not have the perspective of God, and his overall understanding of this era has not yet reached that level.If he is not from Liangzhou himself, his field of vision will be even smaller.

For many people in the Kanto region, Liangzhou is a place outside of culture, dispensable, which is why some people have repeatedly proposed to abandon Liangzhou.Those who oppose abandoning Liangzhou only regard Liangzhou as a strategic frontier, not an indispensable territory for the Han Dynasty, let alone see Liangzhou's economic value to the Han Dynasty.

Everyone has time constraints.

Liu Xie accepted Jia Xu's suggestion and decided to send someone to Yizhou to have a look.

Yan Rou felt deflated in front of Liu Xie, and felt that she could not explain to Liu He and Ke Bi Neng when she went back, so she tried every means to ask Zhao Yun to see her.

Zhao Yun knew what he was thinking, and after consulting Liu Xie, he met with Yan Rou.

The two left the camp together on horseback and went hunting in the nearby mountains.

Yan Rou had no intention of shooting, but he was very surprised by Zhao Yun's riding and shooting.Zhao Yun's martial arts were already good, but now they are even better, almost hitting every shot.

"Zilong, why is this?" Yan Rou exclaimed.He is also a martial arts practitioner himself, and he knows that after reaching a certain level, it is very difficult to improve.

Zhao Yun laughed. "Zigang, how long have you practiced martial arts a day, and what kind of opponents are you?"

Yan Rou understood what Zhao Yun meant.It is not easy for him to insist on practicing martial arts every day, but he may not be able to find a comparable opponent.But there are many masters around the emperor, including Lu Bu among others, there are too many people who can compete with Zhao Yun.With such good conditions, anyone who is self-motivated will make progress.

The difference is only in the size of the progress, and that is determined by each person's talent.

Having figured this out, Yan Rou couldn't help being envious.

"Although we are well-known, we are all ordinary people after all." Zhao Yun took the reins, his expression focused. "How great a career can be achieved, the key is not myself, but how far the monarch we follow can go. The so-called climbing the dragon and following the horse, the power is small but the merit is great, that is the truth."

"Zilong thinks His Majesty is the Lord?"

"In 500 years, there will be a sage." Zhao Yun turned to look at Yan Rou. "Zigang, I believe this sentence."

Yan Rou understood.In Zhao Yun's heart, the Son of Heaven is not only a wise master, but also a saint.He can do what others can't.

But think about it, if the emperor is not a saint, how can he fight back in a desperate situation, win the great victory in Huayin, defeat the Xianbei people one after another, and stabilize the frontier?

He's just a 17-year-old boy.

Even Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, who was famous as a hero, was still overwhelmed by Queen Mother Dou when he was 17 years old.The following decades of conquests exhausted the 70-year accumulation of several generations.

In contrast, the Son of Heaven was able to reverse the situation in such a predicament, far surpassing Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty.Even if you are not a saint, you are not too far from a saint.

Zhao Yun raised the bow in his hand and pointed to the distance. "Since Wei Huo came out of the fortress, the grasslands and the Western Regions have been included in our Han territory for more than three hundred years, but they have not been educated, allowing the barbarians to come and go. The emperor is determined to innovate and intends to go further and turn the barbarians into summer. How can we sit by and watch? "

Yan Rou said: "That being said, in the chaotic world, shouldn't we first consolidate the roots? If the Central Plains is uneasy, how can we run rampant outside the Great Wall? Back then when Wei Huo ran across the desert, it was based on the accumulation of the Han Dynasty for 70 years."

Zhao Yun laughed. "That's where the dilemma has been for hundreds of years."

"Oh?"

"Money and food are of course indispensable for a large army to conquer. But with money and food, will we be able to win battles and conquer? Yuan Shao owns Jizhou, Liu Biao owns Jingzhou, and Liu Zhang owns Yizhou. They are all states with millions of households. But You must have seen their record."

"What about Yi Zilong's opinion?"

"Conquest is first of all on people." Zhao Yun pointed to his heart. "The military achievements of this dynasty have not been obvious for hundreds of years. It is not because of insufficient money and food, but because of the discord among the people. No matter how insufficient money and food are, how can they not be as good as Xianbei and Huns on the grassland? Is there a lot of food? It is because the monarch and his ministers are united, and the soldiers work together."

Yan Rou realized something and nodded repeatedly.

This point, he has personal experience.When Liu Yu raised troops to attack Gongsun Zan, he had a clear advantage in strength, but Liu Yu was pedantic and improperly commanded, so he was defeated by Gongsun Zan.When Yuan Shao fought with Gongsun Zan, their strength was often several times that of Gongsun Zan's, but it was very difficult to win.

In contrast, the record of the emperor defeating Luo Han with three thousand riders is simply unheard of.

Zhao Yun raised his carved bow and pointed to the vast grassland in the distance. "The grassland is bitter and cold, but I can go where the barbarians can go. Otherwise, why do you call yourself a gentleman? A gentleman does not eat all day long and sit and talk about the Tao. He is happy when he hears the Tao, and he starts to do it."

Chapter 455

Yan Rou left with Zhao Yun's advice.

In just a few days, he also saw that the Son of Heaven was different, which proved what Zhao Yun said was true.As the Son of Heaven, he can not only share the joys and sorrows with the soldiers, but also insist on practicing martial arts every day. Such a person is by no means the enemy of Yuan Shao's generation.

Not only Yuan Shao can't, Yuan Tan can't either.

In a word, Yuan's Daihan is an illusory dream, which will be shattered sooner or later.

In order to convince Ke Bineng, Yan Rou asked Ke Zui to visit Fuluohan's pasture together.Liu Xie agreed, and specially prepared a map, which Yan Rou brought to Ke Bineng.

If Kebi is sensible and willing to be a minister, he doesn't mind accepting him as a dog.

If there is no accident, there will be many ministers of foreign races in the court of the great Han in the future, and he will also be ahead of Li Er and become the heavenly khan in the hearts of everyone in the Hu clan.

If Ke Bi Neng doesn't know the fun, then let Xun You kill him while he is still fledgling.

The rise of nomads is very dependent on personal ability.When Tan Shihuai was alive, the Xianbei people were victorious in every battle.Once Tan Shihuai died, the Xianbei people fell apart, and the brothers were beaten to death.

Ke Bineng was a small Tanshihuai. Later, several famous generals of Cao Wei couldn't handle him, so they had to send assassins to kill him, and the tendency of Xianbei people to enter the fortress was postponed for decades.

From this point of view, it is inevitable for the Han people to explore the inheritance system.If any regime wants to continue, instead of dying, a proper succession system is essential.

Looking at Xun Wenqian's bulging belly day by day, Liu Xie realized for the first time that he should consider this issue.Although Hua Tuo swears that this child is a daughter, what if it is a son?

Empress He of the first emperor did not become a queen when she entered the palace, but became a queen after giving birth to a prince.Even if Xun Yu didn't have such thoughts, others would not let go of this opportunity, lest in the future a nobleman who is not from the Kanto region give birth to a prince and come from behind.

Anyway, Fu Wan is a useless and honest person, so there is no need to consider his feelings.

But for Liu Xie, the useless Fu Wan is the ideal relative.

Liu Xie received Xun Yu's memorial.

Xun Yu recommended Sikong and Zhang Xi to be envoys to Jingzhou and Yizhou, and persuaded Liu Biao and Liu Zhang to enter the court.If it succeeds, the imperial court will be able to control half of the world, and the territory and taxes under its control will increase exponentially, which will also benefit the people of the world.

Seeing this memorial, Liu Xie could basically guess how much Xun Yu annoyed Zhang Xi.

He didn't go back to Hedong because he didn't want to see those veterans, especially Zhang Xi.If he didn't still need the charisma of this old minister, and he couldn't cool the hearts of those ministers who followed the imperial court to the west, he would have invited Zhang Xi to serve long ago.

What can't be done, show off No.1.No one would like such an old man, not only at home, but also at court.

At this time, Yuan Shu's above form was also sent to Xingzai.Liu Xie praised his bad idea of ​​Sun Ce being the governor of Yuzhou.Except for Yuan Shu, no one could make such a suggestion.

During this period of time, Yuan Quan often assisted Cai Yan in handling documents, gained a certain understanding of the government, and met Liu Xie a few times.Although he didn't say anything, Liu Xie was very satisfied with Yuan Quan's calm atmosphere.

After receiving Yuan Shu's submission, Liu Xie called Yuan Quan and asked her opinion.

After reading Yuan Shu's above list, Yuan Quan expressed his embarrassment.Yuan Shu's small thoughts were almost on his face, and he didn't ask Sun Ce if he was willing.If Sun Ce is unwilling, wouldn't the imperial court ask for trouble by issuing an edict?Unless the Son of Heaven is as naive as Yuan Shu, it is absolutely impossible to accept this suggestion.

"The governor of Yuzhou is not suitable, but the prefect of Lujiang can consider it." Yuan Quan proposed a revised plan after repeated thinking. "The Kuaiji is too far away to be in combat."

"Will Sun Ce be willing?"

"It's possible. Sun Ce has the legacy of his father, good at fighting and warlike. And when he first attacked Lujiang, he was frustrated. Now that he can become the prefect of Lujiang with a legitimate name, he should not refuse."

Liu Xie remembered.When Sun Ce first inherited his father's will, Yuan Shu once tricked him into attacking Lujiang, saying that if you take Lujiang, you will be the prefect.As a result, Sun Ce took Lujiang with great effort, but Yuan Shu repented and gave Liu Xun the prefect of Lujiang.

In this way, rejecting Yuan Shu's offer and letting Sun Ce become the prefect of Lujiang meant slapping Yuan Shu in the face.

And it was played twice.

How much does Yuan Quan hate Yuan Shu?

"I'll think about it again." Liu Xie politely rejected Yuan Shu's proposal.He still needs Yuan Shu's second idiot to fight Yuan Shao in the ring, so he has to save Yuan Shu's face.

Although Yuan Shu himself doesn't have much shame.

Liu Xie later discussed with Jia Xu and decided to transfer Zhou Zhong to Yuzhou Mu.

Zhou Zhong performed well this time, he kept the bottom line, and also broke with Yuan Shao. Letting him be the shepherd of Yuzhou not only means rewarding merit, but also is suitable for the level.In terms of prestige and qualifications, Zhou Zhong is far superior to Sun Ce, and he can convince others. Yuan Shu should not feel ashamed.

Sun Ce and Zhou Yu are both Zhou Zhong's juniors, so it is not difficult to mobilize them to fight.

He rejected Yuan Shu's offer, but he had to reward Yuan Shu for his contribution.Liu Xie immediately issued an edict to transfer Yuan Shu to the title of Marquis of Anguo Township, with thousands of households in the city.

An Guoting Hou was originally the title of Yuan Tang, Yuan Shu's grandfather, and he originally had five hundred households in the city.After passing it to Yuan Feng, another [-] households were added to the town, making a total of [-] households.After Yuan Feng died, he was succeeded by Yuan Ji, Yuan Shu's elder brother.Yuan Ji was killed, and the title was actually broken.

Yuan Shu's current title is Marquis of Yangdi, conferred by Li Jue when he was in power, which is legal in name, but actually does not represent Liu Xie's intention.Now Liu Xie let Yuan Shu inherit Yuan Feng's title, and changed from Tinghou to Xianghou, adding two hundred households in the town, which is enough to reward him for his meritorious service.

And for Yuan Shu, this is a proper official proof that he is the son of the Yuan family, not the son of a maidservant.Compared with this point, the food town of two hundred households is actually dispensable.

From another perspective, this is also the court's attitude towards Yuan.

Regardless of whether Liu Xie approves of Yuan An and other Yuan's children, the Yuan family is, after all, a famous family with four generations and three princes, and a direct veto will make it difficult for many people to accept.Acknowledging Yuan's past, but attributing this honor to Yuan Shu and making a good cut with Yuan Shao will help win people's hearts.

When the time is right, he throws out another statement, saying that Yuan Shao ordered Wang Yun to do this, which is enough to make Yuan Shao stink and die, knock him to the ground, and step on another foot.

All in all, don't let Yuan Shao live too comfortably, but stimulate him from time to time.

Cai Yan knew the content of the edict immediately, and he was relieved, and even had some small expectations.

After all, Cai Yong had a close relationship with the Yuan family, and it was a relief for Cai Yong that the court recognized the Yuan family.If it is announced in the future that Yuan's execution was instigated by Yuan Shao, Wang Yun will not be able to escape the responsibility.In this way, Cai Yong was killed, and there was an argument, and this revenge was considered revenge.

With Liu Xie's acquiescence, Cai Yan notified Yuan Quan of the news in advance.

Compared with Cai Yan's excitement, Yuan Quan was silent for a long time after listening.

She finally said a word to Cai Yan: "Zhaoji, the king's heart is like the sea, and his kindness is unpredictable. If you have a chance to escape, you should escape as soon as possible, and it is better to study with peace of mind."

Chapter 456 Wei Duan Father and Son

Liu Xie lived in Wuwei for a while.

The snow water in Nanshan melts, flows northward, and finally flows into Xiutu Ze in the depths of the desert, nourishing an oasis.Xiu Tuze was bloodbathed by Ma Chao, and Bai Matong was killed. No new tribe appeared in this oasis in a short time, and it became Liu Xie's grazing ground.

Liu Xie is like a tribal leader, arranging the soldiers and herdsmen accompanying the army nearby.He lived in Xiu Tuze for a while, and experienced the prairie pastoral.

Honestly, it didn't feel right.

Among other things, a mouth full of sand with the north wind is enough to make people uncomfortable.

This is what Xun Wenqian feels the most.Born in Yingchuan, a city with beautiful mountains and green waters, she has never seen such a big wind and sand.The beauty of the desert is the beauty of desolation, the beauty of despair.You can only watch from a distance, not play close up.

Once, she jokingly said to Liu Xie that her daughter should be born in the soil, and she ate a lot of soil in the womb.

Liu Xie laughed, and then said, in this way, it is understandable that Liangzhou became the source of chaos for the decline of the Han Dynasty.Look at the poverty here, who wouldn't want to live in a better place?It is precisely because of this that the imperial court must control this land, otherwise batches of barbarians will go from here to Liangzhou, to Guanzhong, to the Central Plains, and the frontier will never be peaceful.

If people in the Central Plains want to live well, there must be someone who suffers.Who should suffer the most?Whoever benefits the most should suffer the most.

I am the Son of Heaven, if I don't take the lead in suffering, why should I ask others to suffer?

Xun Wenqian was deeply moved, feeling that she hadn't thought of this level before, and the prejudice against Liangzhou was too deep, and the prejudice against warriors was too deep.They all thought that Liangzhou people were naturally cruel, and that warriors were naturally warlike, but they didn't know that this was the prerequisite for the stability of the Central Plains.

It can be seen that the imperial court did not pay enough attention to Liangzhou, which is directly related to the superficial understanding of Liangzhou by the Kanto people.Those ministers who formulate policies don't know the situation in Liangzhou at all, and they are unwilling to listen to the opinions of Liangzhou people. The policies they formulate take too much for granted.

Liu Xie is very satisfied.This kind of cognition was passed on to Xun Yu's ears through Xun Wenqian's mouth, which will help Liangzhou policy with a reasonable system in the future.

This is also one of the purposes he wants to take Xun Wenqian to patrol the border.

Liangzhou Mu Weiduan got out of the car slowly, supported Che Shi, looked at the women who were practicing riding and shooting far away, lost his mind for a while, then turned to his son Wei Kang and said, "Did you see that? Yes, the Cavaliers."

Wei Kang smiled, a little disdainful. "The emperor deliberately did it, but it was not in line with the way of heaven and it was difficult to continue."

"You know a fart." Wei Duan snorted. "The Son of Heaven uses women as knights. He didn't intend to build an army of women, but to show that women can do most of what men can do. It may be difficult to be a knight, but it is not difficult to study and become an official."

"Will the emperor use women as officials?"

"It's hard to say." Wei Duan sighed, arched his hands, and walked forward slowly.

Wei Kang followed closely, feeling a little heavy.

Wei Duan is the shepherd of Liangzhou, the emperor toured Liangzhou, and personally conquered Song Jian, he should have gone to see him a long time ago.It's just that he was quite critical of the emperor's actions, and he was at odds with Han Sui, the general of Zhenxi, so he didn't come.

He originally thought that after the emperor visited Liangzhou, he would return to Hedong via Guanzhong, and he would definitely pass through Ji County, so he could wait for the emperor.Unexpectedly, after the emperor pacified Song Jian, he turned around and went north to Wuwei.After waiting for a while, he had to take the initiative to rush to Xingzai to fulfill the ceremony of the monarch and his ministers.

It was a hard journey and it made him very tired.

The body is tired, and the heart is even more tired.

He had a feeling his career might end there, and so would his son.If it was just himself, he would have nothing to worry about, but the eldest son Wei Kang was dismissed shortly after entering the official position, and the second son Wei Dan did not enter the official position. It would be terrible if he was a commoner all his life.

It is difficult for a family without an official to maintain prosperity. Even if they are willing to endure poverty, they cannot escape the bullying of officials.

Han Yin, the son of Han Sui, paid homage to General Anton and stationed in Lantian, giving confidence to the Liangzhou people who had been stationed in Guanzhong before, and the public opinion turned unknowingly.The eldest son Wei Dan, who had just entered the official position, was the first to be dismissed by the prefect Zhang Shi.

Wei Duan was thinking about how to explain to the emperor when Wei Kang suddenly tugged at his sleeve and pointed.Wei Duan turned his head and saw a group of young people gathered together, with their sleeves rolled up, digging mud from the river and piled it together.

Wei Duan frowned. "When you are young, you don't go to study and practice martial arts, but you learn how to make mud. It is ridiculous. It is said that the emperor attaches great importance to education, and it seems that it is nothing more than that."

At this time, a young man was quite surprised to see Wei Duan and his son. He hurried over and bowed his hands to salute.Wei Duan saw the mud up to his elbow, and subconsciously raised his hand to block his nose.

"You are...Huang Jun?" Wei Kang reacted quickly and recognized the person as Yuan Shu's son-in-law Huang Yi.Huang Yi took office with Yang Xiu, and Wei Kang met him a few times.
