Han Dao world

In Shanglin Garden, Liu Xie holds a bow in one hand and a rein in the other, watching several pretty figures appear and disappear in the woods, like a lioness, like a tigress, vigorous and full of danger.

Lu Bu sat on the red rabbit, staring at the figure of his daughter Lu Xiaohuan, triumphantly.

"Your Majesty has trained his troops well, and my courtiers have become more and more calm."

Liu Xie turned to look at Lu Bu and almost laughed out loud.Since Lv Bu went to the court from Liangzhou to report on his duties, the few times they met, he always reminded him that Lu Xiaohuan had grown up, intentionally or unintentionally, and his urgency had almost reached the point of being exposed.

"This is not due to me, but to Ma Du and Master Yuan."

"Yes, yes." Lu Bu repeatedly echoed, and then added another sentence. "However, knowing daughters is better than fathers. The courtiers have been stubborn since they were young. The reason why they work so hard is because they admire His Majesty."

Liu Xie nodded, and then hit back. "Your son is also like you, and he will be a strong general in the future. Marquis Wen, you have to work hard to reproduce a few, which can be considered as a reserve for the country."

Lu Bu's face changed slightly, and he hesitated for a moment. "Your Majesty, I...do your best, do your best." As he spoke, he turned the horse's head. "I'm going to see if they've handled it well. I'll roast a few hares for Your Majesty later, and please Your Majesty have a taste of my cooking."

Looking at Lu Bu who fled, Liu Xie smiled silently.

To govern Lu Bu, only Mrs. Wei is the only one.

Thirty is like a wolf, forty is like a tiger, and Mrs. Wei, who is like a wolf like a tiger, is the real weapon to restrain Lu Bu.

"Your Majesty, Marquis Wen is impatient, and it is understandable." Zhuge Liang who was on the side said softly: "Huang Yi has made great achievements, and Marquis Wen is jealous."

Liu Xie nodded, and then said: "Kong Ming, do you think Yuan Shao will make peace at the meeting? Or if he is willing to make peace, the war in Shandong will end soon. It doesn't really matter whether Lu Xiaohuan enters the palace or not."

Zhuge Liang glanced at Liu Xie in surprise. "Your Majesty is saying that he hopes that she will enter the palace after she has made meritorious service?"

Liu Xie smiled lightly. "Everything always comes first. You only have Ah Chu, and you don't know the difficulties."

Zhuge Liang smiled slightly, a little embarrassed.

"How about the Fa Xiaozhi who just joined?" Liu Xie changed the subject.

This is what annoys him the most now.As the situation got better, more and more people wanted to occupy a place in the harem, especially a humble martial artist like Lu Bu who didn't even have the most basic restraint, and wanted to let Lu Xiaohuan throw him down directly.

Zhuge Liang put away his smile, and said carefully: "Fa Xiaozhi is smart, alert, and familiar with the situation in Yizhou, but he is a bit impatient. If His Majesty can teach you, in time, it will be the same as Pang Shiyuan. talent."

"Where's Meng Zijing?"

"Mencius Jing is diligent in the military and smart enough. Now he is training in the martial arts hall and his grades are outstanding. I just heard from Jia Shizhong that he still has some celebrity habits and is not down-to-earth. He may suffer some setbacks in the future."

"Setbacks are not terrible. After suffering, he will naturally change." Liu Xie said.

After being stationed in Guanzhong, a group of young talents from Guanzhong successively became officials, and Fazheng and Meng Da were representatives of them.Fa Zheng is a man, but Meng Da is more interested in military affairs. He has become the third batch of students in the martial arts hall and is currently receiving training from Jia Xu.

Liu Xie often talked about these people with Zhuge Liang, one is to cultivate Zhuge Liang's ability to recognize people, and the other is to subtly change Zhuge Liang's view of employing people, open his vision, and don't be limited by inherent views.

To usher in a new era, one or two geniuses are not enough, a large number of geniuses, even flawed ones, are needed.

Unity is strength, and tolerance is the only way to be inclusive.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty." Fazheng galloped over on his horse and delivered a military report to Liu Xie. "Great victory in Lujiang, Yangzhou Mu regained Lujiang, and beheaded Yan Liang, General Yuan Ni."

Liu Xie was taken aback, took the military newspaper, read it quickly, and couldn't help blurting out.

"The brat on the road, what a fucking talent."

Chapter 647 express their opinions

Zhuge Liang and Fa looked at each other face to face.

The emperor has always had a city mansion, and his emotions and anger are invisible. What happened today?

Although Yuan Shu's recovery of Lujiang River and beheading of Yan Liang were great victories, compared to the emperor's illustrious military exploits, these are not worth mentioning at all.

Liu Xie swept his eyes, and then regained his composure, handed the victory report to Zhuge Liang, and asked him to call Pang Tong and others who were nearby to discuss and analyze together.

This is a great internship opportunity.Behind Yuan Shu's seemingly absurd behavior, there is an inexplicable thought.

After Zhuge Liang and Fa Zhengchuan read the victory report, Pang Tong and others also rushed over.Zhuge Liang and Fa, who had already understood the situation, were meditating aside, waiting to start.They had just witnessed the emperor's mood swings and knew that it was not a simple discussion.

Especially Fazheng.

This is the first important discussion since he joined the job. Whether he can impress the emperor depends on whether he has unique insights.

There are many talents around the emperor, and it is not easy to get ahead.

While reading the victory report, Cai Yan, Yuan Quan, and Wang Yi walked along the path by the Kunming Pond while talking.Ma Yunlu took a few female knights to protect him, with a knife and a bow on his waist. The bow has been wound, and there may be shooting at any time.

Seeing Liu Xie, they stopped, saluted from a distance, and then turned around to leave.

Liu Xie waved and called them over.

"Master Yuan, your lord Yangzhou Mu has good news."

Yuan Quan was slightly startled, but she didn't ask any further questions, but said flatly: "Even if my father has a little skill, it's just a gift from His Majesty's prestige."

Liu Xie smiled and shook his head. "You're too humble. It's rare to be so wise."

Yuan Quan remained silent, but his curiosity was aroused, and he stood quietly by the side without taking the initiative to leave.

After Pang Tong and the others finished reading, Liu Xie handed the victory report to Yuan Quan.Yuan Quan took it and quickly browsed through it, with surprise in his eyes.She took out her handkerchief, wiped the corners of her eyes, then read it again, and then shed tears.

"How?" Liu Xie laughed silently.

"I'm stupid, I don't understand the meaning, I just rejoice for him." Yuan Quan's voice was a little muffled. "It's been absurd for most of my life, and it's not in vain to get a word of appreciation from His Majesty."

Liu Xie turned to look at Zhuge Liang and the others. "Which one of you will speak first?"

Several people looked at each other, Fazheng was eager to try, but he didn't dare to speak first.Among the few people present, his qualifications are the most junior.But everyone is a smart person, and the first to speak has the most advantage. Once there are brilliant insights, it will be difficult for the latter to stand out.

When he was hesitating, Zhuge Liang smiled and said, "Why don't Xiaozhi come first. Although he is old, he is late in getting value, so maybe he can have something new."

Pang Tong understood and nodded in agreement.

Fazheng was overjoyed and looked at Liu Xie.

Liu Xie also nodded, accepting Zhuge Liang's opinion.

Being able to take the initiative to give Fazheng the opportunity to speak first, and with sufficient reasons, so that others cannot object, Zhuge Liang has a high emotional intelligence.

Fazheng cleared his throat, and said, "I believe that Yangzhou Mu's success in this battle not only recaptured the Lujiang River and completed Yangzhou, but also protected the Jiangdong counties. From then on, Jiangdong can avoid the invasion of war and restore peace. In addition, Yan Liang Given the leadership, there are no rebels in Huainan, and the Jingzhou army going east has no worries. They can go north at any time to assist Yanzhou Mu and seize Suiyang..."

Fazheng talked eloquently, deducing the changes in the situation after Yuan Shu regained Lujiang.

Lujiang River is south of the Huai River and north of the Yangtze River. It is an important place connecting the Central Plains and Jiangdong.When Yuan Shu regained Lujiang, he not only removed Yuan Shao's nails in Huainan, but also cut off the connection between Jiangdong and Yuan Shao.

Such as Liu Yao.

Although Liu Yao accepted Zhou Zhong's advice and submitted a letter to admit his minister, he did not sever contact with Yuan Shao.The fact that Xu Shao appeared in Shouchun and intercepted Zhang Xi is a clear proof.

Claiming to be a vassal is only an expedient measure, and it is just a superficial article. Deep down, they are still a party.

But now that Yuan Shu has seized the Lujiang River, it will not be so convenient for Liu Yao to flirt with Yuan Shao.

At least the possibility of a military response is basically gone.

Zong Cheng, Lou Gui and others can go north wholeheartedly, assist Cao Cao to take back Suiyang, and further compress Yuan Shao's space.

At this moment, even if Yuan Shao takes Pengcheng, it will not be able to have a major impact on the hinterland of the Central Plains.

Liu Xie nodded slightly after hearing this.

Fazheng's analysis is basically accurate.If there is no accident, Yuan Shao can only negotiate a peace, and the possibility of turning the tables by force is gone.

"What do you think Yuan Shao will do? Fight back, or accept the reality and continue to negotiate peace?"

Fazheng thought about it. "If I plan for him, I will persuade him to attack Pengcheng. Even if he wants to negotiate a peace, he must control the north of Pengcheng. However, I doubt whether he has such courage and strength. I am afraid that he will accept the reality and continue to negotiate the possibility of peace." Bigger."

Liu Xie's heart skipped a beat.

Sure enough, Fazheng is different from Zhuge Liang, he is more aggressive in military affairs and dares to take risks.

It has to be said that storming Pengcheng meant a lot to Yuan Shao.

If Pengcheng can be taken down, even if Yuan Shao accepts the peace negotiation, his work will not be in vain. At least half of Xuzhou will start.

Pengcheng has been besieged for half a year, and even if Liu Bei is prepared, it is at the end of his battle at this moment.If Yuan Shao has enough determination and will, it is not impossible to win Pengcheng.

"What do you think?" Liu Xie turned to Zhuge Liang and Pang Tong.

Zhuge Liang made a gesture, asking Pang Tong to speak first.

Pang Tong was polite and smiled. "I agree with Xiaozhi's opinion, but I would like to add one more point. Even if Yuan Shao has such courage, it is useless. The real strength is in the hands of Jizhou people, not him. Yan Liang is the leader of the four court pillars in Hebei. The killing will have a great impact on the morale of the Jizhou people and should not be underestimated."

Fazheng disagrees. "What are the Hebei four court pillars, just the bravery of a man, is it that important?"

"Yes, the year before last Guan Yu led his troops to assist Xuzhou and killed Wen Chou, which severely damaged the morale of the Jizhou army. Wen Chou's reputation was not as good as Yan Liang's, so it had such an impact. Yan Liang's death in battle will only have a greater impact."

Fazheng didn't say anything more, but there was some disdain in his eyes.As for whom, it is not clear.

Liu Xie looked at Pang Tong, and said again: "Is there any more?"

Pang Tong bowed slightly. "Your Majesty, if there is no accident, Yuan Shao will accept the peace negotiation, but he may not withdraw his troops. I am worried that he will delay time and stay in Pengcheng to observe the situation. Yangzhou Mu wants to carry out the matter of saving land in Lujiang. I think it should be prudent. Act too hastily, so as not to cause a change and be taken advantage of by Yuan Shao."

Liu Xie said: "Are you worried that the imperial court's support for Yangzhou Mu to live in the Lujiang River will arouse the resistance of the Shandong clan and force them to support Yuan Shao?"

"Exactly."

"In your opinion, the court should reject Yangzhou Mu's proposal?"

Pang Tong shook his head. "I don't support it, I don't veto it, I don't want to stay in the middle school. I won't make a decision until Zong Cheng leads his troops to the north to assist Yanzhou Mu in conquering Suiyang and force Yuan Shao to retreat."

Liu Xie was noncommittal and looked at the others.

Many people agreed with Pang Tong's suggestion, only Zhuge Liang did not publish it.

"Kong Ming, what's your opinion?"

Zhuge Liang raised his head, his eyes were clear. "The minister's opinion is exactly the opposite. The court should not only express its position, but also clearly express its position."

Chapter 648 Kong Ming Discusses Politics

Before Zhuge Liang finished speaking, he attracted everyone's attention, including Liu Xie.

Liu Xie saw Yuan Shu's careful thinking, but he hadn't figured out how to deal with it yet.Let Zhuge Liang and others discuss, in itself has the purpose of listening and understanding.

If Yuan Shu killed Yan Liang and seized Lujiang just because of his personal will, then it was not so simple for him to promote Dutian in Lujiang.

He is a Nato certificate, and he wants to be firmly tied to the imperial court and seek the imperial court's protection.

If Yuan Shu wants to fight Yuan Shao to the end and never compromise, it is tantamount to tearing face with those former disciples of the Yuan family who are loyal to Yuan Shao, and will inevitably be hostile and rejected.This is Yuan's private matter, it is not easy for the imperial court to come forward directly, maybe they will sit on the mountain and watch the tigers fight, and sit and watch Yuan's internal struggle.But if he is hostile by the big clan in Shandong because of saving the land, then the imperial court will have to show up.

Otherwise, who would take Du Tian seriously?Just unite and oppose unanimously.

Yuan Shu deliberately magnified the situation, in fact, he was pulling the tiger's skin and making a big banner to force the court to take a stand.

You don't care about the private affairs of my Yuan family, you don't care about Du Tian?

Liu Xie saw through this point, so he praised Yuan Shu for his great wisdom and foolishness.

Yuan Quan also saw through this point, and knew that apart from fighting against Yuan Shao, Yuan Shu had put himself in the fire to gain a future for them, so he said that Yuan Shu had been absurd all his life, and finally did something serious.

But just as Pang Tong was worried, the matter of saving the land could not be rushed, and changes would happen if it was urgent, which would force Shandong scholar-bureaucrats into Yuan Shao's camp.Not only those who supported Yuan Shao would give up their hearts, but those who originally supported the imperial court might change their minds.

Zong Cheng's and Lou Gui's families also own land, and Cao Cao's family also owns land.

There are many people who are opposed to Du Tian, ​​or opposed to rushing to Du Tian. Wang Lang, who had just arrived in Guanzhong, strongly opposed it.As an old official of the Yang family, Wang Lang was undoubtedly loyal to the court, and he actually represented the common aspirations of most of the Shandong scholar-bureaucrats.

Although my family has a lot of land, not one mu is superfluous.

After all, there are only a few rare creatures like Yuan Shu who would not hesitate to burn everything in order to kill Yuan Shao.

Liu Xie is also aware of the scale, understands the views of Wang Lang and others, and has no immediate plan to implement Dutian in Shandong.

Liu Xie praised Yuan Shu for being clever, but it didn't mean he was willing to be coerced by Yuan Shu.

To some extent, Pang Tong's suggestion is more feasible and can resolve Yuan Shu's persecution.

It's just not that perfect.

Zhuge Liang's clear-cut opposition caught Liu Xie by surprise.

"Kong Ming, let's hear it."

"Wei." Zhuge Liang bowed and saluted, not in a hurry, and said calmly: "Dutian is the established policy of the imperial court and the basis of the New Deal. At present, the progress of the Dutian, Hanyang, and Sanfu has been different, and the effect is different. The difference can already explain some situations. Please Rong Chen explain one by one."

"Say it." Liu Xie became interested.

"In contrast, Hedong failed to punish the rebellious clans, resulting in a large amount of land still in the hands of the clans. Hedong Yin can only control the grain produced by soldiers in the field. Although the output has increased every year, but The upper limit is not high. Preliminary estimates, it can barely support Youyan Dufu, and there is no more power left."

"The big clans in Hanyang are the most supportive of the imperial court's new policy, but Hanyang has limited arable land, and the food output is also not much. Apart from stabilizing the county, it can provide a small amount of support for other counties. If Liangzhou wants to be stable, it must start from Guanzhong or Yi State grain adjustment."

"Guanzhong has the most arable land, and the effect of saving the land is relatively better. In time, it will not only be self-sufficient, but also provide food for Liangzhou."
