Han Dao world

Living in such an era, he is of course unwilling to be a rich and idle person, but he has never found a suitable opportunity, and he doesn't know what he can do.Hearing that the emperor intends to let him serve as a servant and be in charge of preparing for the construction of the pastoral garden, he is very excited and readily agrees.

Liu Xie asked him to discuss the details with Yang Biao and come up with a plan.

Hu Chuquan went happily.

Liu Xie then recruited among the Lang officials around him who were willing to go to Muyuan.Considering that most of the pastures are in the frontier and the conditions are relatively difficult, Liu Xie used the experience accumulated in his previous life to draw up a job description, detailing the requirements, salary, and career prospects of different positions.

At that moment, he became the HR of Dahan Empire, recruiting talents for the take-off of Dahan Empire Company.

After the edict was announced, people soon came to apply, and the enthusiasm exceeded Liu Xie's imagination.

This kind of life without a fixed place makes many people miserable. If they can settle down and have a predictable future, some people are still willing to go.Besides, horses are a rare strategic resource in the Northwest. Although Muyuan is hard-working, it still has advantages compared to other positions. At least the basic life is guaranteed.

To Liu Xie's surprise, Wei Kang sent a message through Yang Biao, and he also intends to apply.

He has been a princess secretary for several years, has certain experience in affairs, and has an advantage that ordinary people do not have: he can draw, especially good at pommel horses.Considering that Mu Yuan needs a large number of maps, there is still room for him to develop this technique.

Liu Xie immediately summoned Wei Kang, and he didn't say anything nonsense, he gave Wei Kang pen, ink, paper and inkstone, and asked him to go to the Yulin camp outside the tent to draw horses.After the painting is finished, other people will search for it according to the picture. If they can find it, they will let you take office.

Wei Kang also knew that this was his chance to get rid of the crime, so he didn't dare to be careless, and worked hard for two days to draw a total of seven horses.

Liu Xie asked people to take the painting and went to Yulinying to look for horses, but found four horses, and three others were found by mistake.

Liu Xie looked at the result and said to Wei Kang, you barely passed, and I will give you a chance to try it out.You take office first, and then you will be assessed a year later, and then decide whether you can stay in Muyuan.

Wei Kangnuo retreated.

Liu Xie then summoned Wei Duan.

Chapter 459 Enemy on all sides

Wei Duan waited for the crime for several days, uneasy and lost a lot of weight.

He finally breathed a sigh of relief when he learned that Wei Kang passed the test and was appointed.Anyway, the emperor didn't mean to kill him directly.

After receiving the edict, Wei Duan rushed to the imperial tent immediately.

In all fairness, Liu Xie didn't have a good impression of these artist officials.Art needs to be pragmatic and emotional, and being an official should be pragmatic and rational. An artist as an official will mostly not have good results.

Just as an artist who is an emperor often loses his country.

Wei Duan and his son's calligraphy attainments are very high, but the level of being an official is very average.Such people should engage in art with peace of mind, be a celebrity, and not be an official, or try to be an opinion leader, misleading others and themselves.

Of course, Wei Duan was an official also for himself.Although Liangzhou is poor, there are many people who come to Liangzhou to be officials. Otherwise, Meng Da's father, Meng Tuo, would not have asked Zhang Rang for the post of governor of Liangzhou.The reason why Liangzhou often rebels is directly related to the fact that these foreign officials only care about themselves and don't care about the life and death of the people.

Wei Duan has made a lot of money in the past few years as the governor of Liangzhou.

Liu Xie really wanted to kill Wei Duan directly, but he knew this was not a good way.

Yang Biao's worries are not superfluous, every move of the emperor has a magnifying effect.If it is used by someone with a heart, it is likely to cause immeasurable consequences.

So it's better to be cautious.

After reading Wei Duan's prepared apology, Liu Xie disapproved.

Wei Duan avoided the important and ignored the minor, saying that he could not get along well with Han Sui, but he did not mention the responsibility of not coming to see him in time after receiving the edict. Liangzhou animal husbandry.

It can be seen from this that this person is either clueless, or greedy and does not know how to advance or retreat.

As long as he is smarter, Yang Xiu should have resigned from the moment he became the prefect of Hanyang.

The imperial court has spent so much effort to rectify Liangzhou, but can you come to pick the fruit?

"Calligraphy is good." Liu Xie said: "There are talents in Guanzhong, and there are quite a few who are good at calligraphy and painting. There is Zhao Binqing in the front, and father and son in the back."

Wei Duan responded shyly, feeling uneasy for a while.

The emperor only said that he was good at calligraphy, and did not mention his political achievements. He also mentioned Zhao Qi, and the meaning was already very clear.The possibility of him wanting to continue to be a shepherd in Liangzhou is gone. The best result is to open a school and teach and educate people like Zhao Qi.

But he is not as knowledgeable as Zhao Qi, nor is he as indifferent as Zhao Qi.

"You and General Zhenxi are at odds, why?"

Wei Duan immediately regained his energy, straightened his body quickly, and was just about to speak, when he saw Pei Jun who was writing in a hurry, he was shocked again.

It would not be good if these words reached Han Sui's ears.After Song Jian was put down, Han Sui was proud of the spring breeze, and it would be a matter of time before he took charge of Guanzhong.If Han Sui wanted to take revenge on him, he couldn't afford such a loss.

"What concerns do you have?"

Wei Duan carefully weighed the pros and cons, and said cautiously: "The minister... the discord with General Zhenxi is not out of personal grievances, but out of justice. Now that General Zhenxi is a minister and serves His Majesty, it is easy to discord." There is no way to talk about it, or not to mention it.”

"Before that, it was because General Zhenxi was disloyal to the imperial court?"

"Yes."

Liu Xie didn't say anything more.Wei Duan took the initiative to confess, and he didn't have to deliberately provoke trouble.If he wanted to punish Han Sui, he didn't need such an unappealing method, and it was useless.

"Follow me on a tour of Liangzhou, and don't go back to Ji County for now."

I asked you to come to see the driver, but you refused.Now that you're here, don't go away.

"Wei." Wei Duan wiped the cold sweat off his forehead.Although Liangzhou Mu was gone, the emperor did not directly issue an edict to dismiss him, which was to save face for him.

It is not easy to follow the emperor to tour Liangzhou. He can't hold on for too long, and he still has to resign after all.It's just that it doesn't work now, we have to wait for a while, so as not to cause people to think about it.

Yecheng.

Yuan Shao stood in the court with his Si Zhao sword in his hand, his expression gloomy.

He had just received news that Yuan Shu had been transferred to the title of Marquis of Anguo Township, Yiqianhu.

Doctor Guanglu Zhou Zhong was worshiped as the shepherd of Yuzhou and had already entered Yuzhou.Cao Cao, Liu Bei, and Sun Ce all expressed their support, and Cao Cao sent troops to greet him. Liu Bei also stationed troops on the border, which meant another battle with the judge.

There is no doubt that this is the result that the little emperor hopes to see. Zhou Zhong will lead the military forces of Cao Cao, Liu Bei, and Sun Ce to fight against him.

As for Yuan Shu, it was the little emperor's method to deliberately humiliate him.

Yuzhou is his home state, so he has to fight for it.With the strength of Yanzhou alone, it is difficult for the judge to gain a foothold in Henan, and sooner or later he will be driven back to Hebei.If Jizhou provides money and food support, but must make concessions to the Jizhou people, it will inevitably cause further dissatisfaction among the Ruying people.

This made Yuan Shao very distressed.He originally planned to enter Shangdang, but he had to give up before he left the army.

Shangdang's threat to Yecheng is too great, and Yecheng is almost out of Taihang.In the First World War last year, it seemed that Hanoi was the most threatening, but that was because Guan Yu was too fierce alone. The real threat came from the Shangdang, the Montenegro Army who had not yet appeared on the battlefield.

Pulling out the thorn of Shangdang became a problem that he had to solve but could not solve.

Why did it become like this?When did it start?

Yuan Shao couldn't figure it out.

"My lord." Xu You hurried in, holding a letter in his hand.

Yuan Shao quickly regained his composure, and returned his sword into its sheath. "Ziyuan, you are late. I just finished practicing swords, otherwise I can still have a sparring."

Xu You ignored the topic and handed over the letter in his hand. "The public has news that there may be a change in Liu He."

Yuan Shao didn't care about greetings, so he quickly took the letter and read it.After reading it, he understood why Guo Tu didn't write to him directly, but Xu You conveyed it.

Letters written to him must first be conveyed by officials, and it is difficult to completely cover up the news.

And the fewer people who know about it, the better.

Xianbei Marshal Ke Bineng actually professed his vassal to the imperial court, and was about to move herding to Beidi, north of Wuwei.In connection with the previous situation in which Fuluohan and Budugen were defeated successively, Ke Bineng's surrender means that the most powerful Xianbei people have disappeared and have been completely conquered by the court.

What would the Wuhuan people think?After Xun You occupied Danhan Mountain, would he continue to move eastward?

Without Ke Bineng's support, Liu He's strength was greatly reduced. Not only could he not defeat Gongsun Zan quickly, but he also had to guard against Xun You and Gongsun Zan joining forces.For Liu He, whether or not to surrender to the court has become a choice that must be faced, and it can no longer be vague.

Once Liu He decides to surrender to the imperial court in order to seek Xun You's reinforcements, then Youzhou may become the imperial court's Youzhou and become a huge rock on his head.

Yuan Shao's heart beat like a drum, and his back felt chills.

"Is there any movement from Qu Yi?"

Xu You snorted disdainfully. "Even Han Sui has proclaimed himself a minister. Do you still expect Qu Yi to feel at ease? My lord, there is a great possibility that Liu He will proclaim himself a minister to the court. Xiansi will be in danger, so we have to make preparations early."

Yuan Shao was very upset.

Chapter 460 Changes in Youzhou

In the eyes of Xu You and Guo Tu, Yuan Tan is the most important.

This made Yuan Shao especially unhappy.

I'm not dead yet, so you're making Yuan Tan your master?

But such words, he couldn't say it, he could only keep silent in his heart, pretending he couldn't hear it.

"Ziyuan, what's your opinion?"

Xu You sighed. "Youzhou is a place to raise horses, so don't lose it. Gongsun Zan is a mortal enemy, and you can't let it go. When the imperial court is still fledgling, use the power of thunder to defeat Gongsun Zan, take Youzhou completely, and relieve your worries."

"Speaking of worries, wouldn't Shangdang and Taiyuan be more dangerous?"

"Shangdang and Taiyuan have few soldiers and lack of cavalry. They are not yet able to attack. It is just harassment. After the emperor inspects Liangzhou, he will rebuild the pasture garden soon. Once there are enough horses, Shangdang and Taiyuan will attack. possible."

After Xu You finished speaking, he reminded emphatically: "My lord, there must be no mistakes in Youzhou."

Yuan Shao thought about it, and felt that what Xu You said was reasonable.The reason why Guan Yu was able to drive straight in and kill all the way to the vicinity of Yecheng, forcing him to retreat was precisely because of the superiority of cavalry.If it was a pawn, his speed would definitely not be so fast.

The little emperor first decided on Bingzhou, and then inspected Liangzhou. What he took a fancy to was the war horse resources in Bingzhou and Liangzhou.From the immediate point of view, Youzhou is the only horse breeding land he can control. Once he loses Youzhou, his cavalry will become water without a source and trees without roots, and it will be difficult to face the court's counterattack.

Emperor Guangwu pacified the world, relying on Youzhou Tuqi.

"Ziyuan's plan is very good, I'm afraid it will not be easy to defeat Gongsun Zan quickly." Yuan Shao was a little embarrassed. "Once the troops are under the fortification of the city, they will not return for a long time, and Yecheng will be attacked again, what can we do?"

Xu You was a little impatient, and his voice became louder. "If my lord doesn't go north, once Liu He and Xun You unite, it's not just Yecheng that will be in danger."

After being yelled at by Xu You, Yuan Shao's mood was even worse, his face was sullen, and he didn't speak for a long time.

Xu You also knew that he was rude, so he stopped talking, but he refused to apologize.He felt that Yuan Shao was getting more and more confused, not at all like the Yuan Shao he knew.When he was in Luoyang, Yuan Shao was so decisive, but now he hesitates and hesitates.

Is it necessary to think about such a simple thing for so long?

He really wanted to turn around and leave, leaving Yuan Shao to think slowly by himself.But he couldn't do that, the situation in Youzhou was too tense, and without Yuan Shao's main support, Yuan Tan wouldn't be able to last long.

This is a good opportunity for Yuan Tan to make contributions, and it cannot be ruined overnight.Guo Tu wrote to him because he could speak in private as an old friend, so that the people of Jizhou would not be in the way.

After a while, Yuan Shao calmed down and told Xu You the news he had just received.Yuan Shu was granted the title of Marquis of Anguo Township, Zhou Zhong was appointed as Yuzhou Shepherd, and the situation in the Central Plains was also very bad, so he had to be afraid.

Zhou Zhong is not Yuan Shu, his appeal is stronger, and the trial and assignment may not be able to hold the front line.

After Xu You heard it, she couldn't help but swear, and she didn't know who to scold.

But he still felt that Yuan Shao should go north first to completely deal with Gongsun Zan.Although Zhou Zhong can command Cao Cao, Liu Bei, and Sun Ce to fight, he is not a soldier after all, and Cao, Liu, and Sun have their own thoughts and may not be willing to go all out. There is no great danger for the time being.

But that's not the case in Youzhou. One more day's delay may cause immeasurable losses.If Liu He was forced to bow his head, Gongsun Zan would be freed, and Xun You would lead the Youhe cavalry south, the threat would not be comparable to that of Zhou Zhong and Cao Liusun.

Yuan Shao thought about it, and felt that what Xu You said was reasonable, so he decided to redeploy and head north first.

In order to prevent Liu He from wavering, Yuan Shao asked Xu You to be the vanguard and lead his troops to the north to show that he must overcome.

Xu You was overjoyed and took orders to leave.

"Think twice, general." Yan Rou persuaded again.

"What are you thinking about?" Liu He jumped into a rage, his eyes were red, and he waved his arms. "If I don't take revenge for killing my father, how can I stand between heaven and earth? Zigang, you don't need to persuade me. People have their own ambitions. I won't stop you from seeking wealth, and don't stop me from taking revenge on my father."

He pointed up. "Whoever does not allow me to take revenge is my enemy. Loyalty and filial piety cannot be balanced, even if it is a traitor, I will not hesitate."

Yan Rou smiled wryly, feeling that Liu He was crazy and unreasonable.

It's not that the Son of Heaven doesn't want you to take revenge, it's because you are incapable of taking revenge yourself.You did not hesitate to accept both the imperial court's Zhengbei Zhonglang general and Yuan Shao's support, but have you taken revenge?

No.

If you want to take revenge, there is only one way, to sever ties with Yuan Shao and ask the court for help.Xun You's tens of thousands of troops are just outside the Great Wall. As long as he is willing to join the battle, he will definitely be able to defeat Gongsun Zan.

You are hesitant now, and when Xun You gets in touch with Gongsun Zan and the court turns to support Gongsun Zan, you will have no hope.

The reasoning has been made very clear, but Liu He doesn't know what's stuck, so he just doesn't listen.

This made Yan Rou very worried, did Liu He have other thoughts and couldn't speak humanely to outsiders?

After thinking about it, the more Yan Rou thought about it, the more she felt that it was possible.He bid farewell to Liu He, and turned to look for Xian Yufu.

Xian Yufu was originally Liu Yu's job, he was Liu Yu's confidant, and he was also the backbone who advocated revenge against Gongsun Zan.He has a great influence on Liu He, definitely not comparable to Yan Rou.

Compared with Liu He, Xian Yufu is more representative of the attitude of Youzhou people.

After hearing the story of Yan Rou's westward journey, Xian Yufu didn't speak for a long time, and finally asked: "The emperor said, as long as Liu He and Yuan's father and son draw a clear line, won't he stop him from taking revenge?"
