Han Dao world

It was not easy for him as a fake captain.The emperor has always refused to turn him into a real lieutenant, and the generals did not really regard him as a captain.Rather than respecting him, it is better to say respecting the Hongnong Yang family.

Zhou Zhong quietly looked at the emperor.

The emperor's face was calm, as if he had been prepared for it, or he was used to such a scene.

"What about Yang Gong's opinion?" Liu Xie said.

"Your Majesty, when we defeated Fu Luo Han, we made an appointment with the captives. After five years, they will have the opportunity to become official registered households. Now that the five-year period is approaching, maybe we can take this opportunity to use softness to overcome strength without firing a single arrow." And set the northern border."

Liu Xie was slightly taken aback, feeling a little emotional. "Yeah, inadvertently, it will be five years soon."

"Most of those captives are located in the jurisdiction of Yanran's current guard. The minister thinks that the corresponding work should be started now to show that the court will believe what it says. Then select some suitable people from them to join the army and patrol the border with Yanran's guard. .”

"Is this possible?" Han Sui objected. "What if they collude with the Xianbei outside the Great Wall and cooperate with each other inside and outside?"

Yang Biao turned to look at Han Sui. "General Fu Jun feels that the imperial court has been in Bingzhou for five years, and they can't even pick out thousands of young men who are suitable for the army?"

"juvenile?"

"Yes, adults grew up in the grasslands and are used to strong meat. After entering the fortress and settling down, even if they have the opportunity to receive education, they are only satisfied with reading and numeracy. They will not be deceived by officials. They may not agree with my etiquette. There will be no Han people claiming to be themselves. But those teenagers who have just grown up are different. They have accepted our Han family education and studied etiquette. Do they think they are more Han people, or do they think they are more Xianbei people?"

Han Sui looked embarrassed and lowered his eyelids.

Considering his own identity, Yang Biao's rhetorical question is very lethal.

Trust is the foundation.If after five years of indoctrination, you still cannot give basic trust, or even overturn the previous promise, then the significance of indoctrination is not great.

"What do you guys think?" Liu Xie looked at the others. "If you have an opinion, please mention it, there is no need to be taboo."

Zhou Zhong thought for a while, got up and saluted. "Your Majesty, the minister seconded the proposal. The minister thought that this matter should not only be carried out in Bingzhou, but also in Shandong Province. Compared with the captured Xianbei and Huns, the people of Shandong have more hearts for the imperial court. After Yuan Shao withdrew his troops , Many soldiers have been disarmed, and some of them are elite. If they can be recruited nearby and given to Liu Bei, Xuzhou Shepherd, the battle in Langya may be quickly pacified without sending out the elite of the General Fujun."

When Han Sui heard this, he became anxious and stood up. "The doctor's words..."

Zhou Zhong waved his hand. "Please listen to me, General Fujun."

Han Sui gave Zhou Zhong a hard look, and sat back.

Zhou Zhong bowed again, and then said: "I have heard a lot of comments about the Liangzhou army all the way westward. Generally speaking, before entering the pass, most of them were afraid of the Liangzhou army. After that, most of them have a good impression of Liangzhou's military spirit."

Han Sui stroked his beard, showing a hint of complacency.

Although what Zhou Zhong said was a bit exaggerated, his military discipline must be much better than that of Dong Zhuo and others.

"It should be noted that a few years ago, Dong Zhuo drove the people of Luoyang to the west. There were countless casualties along the way, and there were not a few who hated the Xiliang people to the bone. Five years of education, to have such results, shows that your majesty is wise to emphasize education, and Xiliang people are also very wise. He is not born as a beast, as long as he reads books and abides by etiquette, he can become a pillar of the country."

Zhou Zhong looked at Han Sui who looked a little embarrassed again.

"However, the Liangzhou army is out of the east for a short time, and the people's suspicions have not dissipated. It is unavoidable to be trembling when they go out at this time. If someone is not self-disciplined and causes trouble, not only the general of the Fu army will be implicated, but I am afraid that your majesty will teach Xiliang. Thoughts, too, will be questioned."

Han Sui snorted resentfully, but didn't speak.

Liu Xie pondered for a moment. "It's a good plan to recruit veterans in Xuzhou and Yanzhou. I'm afraid they will think that the imperial court's policy has been repeated after they have just been disarmed. Is there any other way?"

Yang Biao said: "Your Majesty, I have an expedient plan."

"tell me the story."

"Sun Ce, the prefect of Kuaiji, led the Jiangdong cavalry and navy to join the battle."

Liu Xie turned to look at Sun Ce.

Sun Ce immediately got up and saluted. "The minister is willing to go."

Liu Xie laughed silently.

No wonder Yang Biao and Zhou Zhong came together, they had already discussed it.But this plan is really good.Calling Sun Ce to participate in the war can be regarded as killing three birds with one stone.It not only transferred Sun Ce away from Jiangdong, but also allowed him to maintain his combat effectiveness, and quickly resolved the war in Langya.

Anyway, there are still a few years before Sun Ce's expedition to the sea. It is also a good choice to assist Liu Bei to recover Liaodong first.

"Today's court meeting originally had this content. Now that it's mentioned, let's discuss it together."

Everyone speaks freely.

Except for Han Sui who was somewhat repelled, almost everyone agreed with this plan.Liu Xie was a good follower, and immediately made a decision to transfer Sun Ce to be the prefect of Beihai. He led cavalry and sailors to station in Beihai, cut off Yuan Xi's retreat, and tried to encircle Yuan Xi in Langya.

Considering that Sun Ce's previous equipment was obsolete, the imperial court could allocate part of the ordnance for Sun Ce to equip the soldiers.In order to make these equipment more suitable for water warfare, it is necessary to send some craftsmen who specialize in making ordnance to Jiangdong to cooperate with the investigation.

If there are skilled craftsmen in Jiangdong, they can also participate in it.

The heart hanging in Sun Ce's throat finally fell back into his stomach.

After arranging Sun Ce, Liu Xie asked Zhou Yu what he thought.

Zhou Yu, who had been silent all this time, stood up. "Your Majesty, I take the liberty to make a request."

"Oh?" Liu Xie smiled. "Say it boldly and have no qualms."

"I want to go out of the Great Wall and take a look at the remnants of Xianbei to see how powerful they are and whether they can cause harm to northern Xinjiang. If they are not strong enough and they just want to survive, I may be able to persuade them to surrender."

"You still have this eloquence?"

"I'm not very eloquent, but I know two people who are very eloquent. If His Majesty allows, I hope to bring them along."

Liu Xie thought of a person, and couldn't help showing a slight smile.

"Who are you talking about?"

"One is Shen You from Wu County in Jiangdong, and the other is my classmate and friend, Jiang Gan from Jiujiang. Shen You is about the same age as my minister. He is versatile in both civil and military affairs. He is good at swordsmanship, calligraphy, and eloquence. He is called Sanmiao. Jiang Gan is a young man. Skilled, excellent eloquence, a natural lobbyist."

Sun Ce quietly glanced at Zhou Yu and sighed.

Zhou Yu had never recommended these two people in front of him, but now he recommended them to the emperor all at once.

But thinking about it carefully, he can understand.

Not to mention Jiang Gan from Jiujiang, although Zhou Yu had never recommended Shen You, he knew Shen You and knew Shen You's three wonderful reputations.

It's just that he never thought of recruiting Shen You.

Liu Xie thought about it and looked at the others. "What do you guys think?"

Yang Biao said: "I originally wanted to appoint him as an official, but he is not afraid of hardships and is willing to take risks with his own life in order to subdue others without fighting. I deeply agree. I agree with you."

Lu Bu also made a decision immediately. "The minister seconded the proposal and is willing to escort along the way."

Zhou Zhong glanced at Zhou Yu, and said helplessly: "The minister seconded the proposal."

Chapter 716

Liu Xie once again made a decision to worship Zhou Yu as a doctor, and ordered him to go outside the Great Wall to find out the truth of Xianbei.

As Zhou Yu's attendants, Shen You and Jiang Gan were invited by Zhou Yu to meet Zhou Yu in Chang'an.

Zhou Zhong once again saw Liu Xie's determination.

When you agree on something, make a decision on the spot, never dragging your feet.

Zhou Zhong even felt that he was a little reckless.

However, he also understood Yang Biao's previous statement that the emperor could indeed deal with the government affairs in a relatively short period of time, instead of talking about it for a long time without dealing with a single thing.

This is far from Zhou Zhong's impression.

When General He Jin was in power, there were frequent quarrels at the court meeting, but nothing could be resolved, and they had to go to the General's Mansion for further discussion.

Of course, Zhou Zhong also knows that some quarrels are quarrels for the sake of quarrels, and what they want is that they can't solve the problem.Only in this way can He Jin be in power.

It's a pity that He Jin is greedy for power, but he doesn't know how to use it. The real power is Yuan Shao.

And Yuan Shao is an indecisive person.

How is Yuan Shao doing recently?Zhou Zhong was suddenly curious.

"Duke Zhou?"

Liu Xie called out, but Zhou Zhong didn't respond.It was Zhou Yu who pulled him a bit before he came back to his senses.

"Your Majesty, my minister..."

Liu Xie's mouth twitched. "Duke Zhou, someone suggested to increase the number of prefectures for the trial of Du Tian, ​​what do you think?"

Zhou Zhong was about to speak when he was suddenly taken aback.

He thought he was going to discuss the issue of Lujiang Dutian, but he didn't expect the emperor to talk about something else, and he wasn't mentally prepared.

"Your Majesty...Your Majesty, I haven't seen the results of the trial Dutian, so why rush to push it away? And...shouldn't this matter be discussed with Situ? Situ's mansion is also..." Zhou Zhong looked around. "Nobody's here."

Liu Xie was a little unhappy.

I used to say that a gentleman is not serious if he is not serious, but he is not powerful. What are you doing now?

Han Sui seized the opportunity, and said in a nonchalant way: "The doctor just wandered off and didn't pay attention to what we were talking about. What we are going to discuss now is not in Shandong, but in Jizhou to try to save the land."

"In Jizhou?" Zhou Zhong became nervous. "That's also related to Situ Mansion."

"The situation in Jizhou is different. If you don't give some pressure, I'm afraid Yuan Shao will not agree." Yang Biao took the topic and made a relief for Zhou Zhong. "That's why General Fu Jun suggested that we increase the pressure on Jizhou and march into Qingzhou. On the one hand, cut off Jizhou's reinforcements to Yuan Xi, and on the other hand force Yuan Shao to accept the imperial edict and choose a county to try to save the land. The Situ Mansion has already agreed. , depends on the opinions of the Taiwei Mansion."

"Since that's the case, then the Taiwei will do it."

"Forcing Yuan Shao to submit requires the cooperation of the Taiwei's House. In the future, we will need the Sikong House to monitor the trial of Dutian." Liu Xie paused to give Zhou Zhong a buffer time. "If Dutian is successful, it is easy to say. If it is not successful, whether there is a problem with Dutian itself, or someone is perfunctory, or even deliberately sabotaged, it is natural to monitor."

"I hope the Sikong Mansion will shoulder this responsibility," Liu Xie added. "I don't know what the doctor thinks?"

Zhou Zhong quickly weighed the pros and cons.

This is the condition for him to take over as Sikong.If he is willing to accept this responsibility, the emperor will let him be Sikong.If he is unwilling, then Sikong has nothing to do with him.

It was a nuisance, and he didn't want to do it.

But this is the best opportunity to hold Sikong, one of the three lords, in his hands. I believe Zhang Xi is also willing to see this step.

Shandong scholar-bureaucrats need someone who can speak out in court.

"The minister seconded the proposal." Zhou Zhong bowed and said.

Liu Xie nodded in satisfaction and looked around. "Sikong is one of the three princes, and he cannot be absent for a long time. Since the doctor is tireless and brave to take responsibility, let the doctor be Sikong, how about it?"

Everyone knew that this was not only an opportunity for Zhou Zhong to repay his previous hard work, and the credit for bringing back Sun Ce and Zhou Yu, but also a burden for him.

In the future, if the trial of land saving fails, the Sikong Mansion will come forward to review the reasons. This is a job that offends people, and it offends Shandong scholar-bureaucrats.

-

At the end of the court meeting, when they walked out of the main hall, the sun had just set to the west.

The outside of the hall was brightly illuminated by the bright sun, revealing a trace of unreality.

Zhou Zhong squinted his eyes, looked at the dilapidated palace wall, and touched the ribbon around his waist, feeling a little uncomfortable.

The emperor has even prepared the seal and ribbon, so he has to do this Sikong if he doesn't want to.If I had known this before, I shouldn't have agreed so readily at the time. At least I should show humility, and it is best to talk about the conditions.

This is a big trouble.

"Jiamou, congratulations to you." Yang Biao said with a smile on his face, but there was a hint of cunning in his eyes.

"Is it just lip service?" Zhou Zhong said angrily.

"If you want a gift, there is none. If you want a suggestion, there is one."

Zhou Zhong said "and". "tell me the story."

"Look for a long history who is young and well-versed in the law."

Zhou Zhong's heart skipped a beat. "Is there any suitable candidate to recommend?"

Yang Biao smiled without saying a word, turned and left.

Zhou Zhong smacked his lips, knowing that he had made a slip of the tongue.Even if Yang Biao had a suitable candidate, he would not recommend it to him.Zhou Yu asked to be sent as an envoy, but Yang Biao himself needed a suitable long history, how could he give it to him.

Besides, it means that the appointment of Situ Changshi must be approved by the emperor, but the right to expel him belongs to Sikong himself.This is the right of Sikong, Yang Biao has no reason to grab this spot.

Zhou Zhong searched in his mind and thought of a person.

He turned his head and saw that Sun Ce and Zhou Yu were still in the palace, talking to the emperor, and it seemed unlikely that they would be able to come out for a while, so he decided to wait until then.

He caught up with Yang Biao. "Since there is no suitable candidate to recommend, why don't you invite me to a drink, and then tell me about the current situation in Chang'an. I haven't been back for a few months, and I can't understand this court."

Yang Biao laughed dumbfoundedly, and nodded in agreement.

The two walked out of the palace and got into the car, but Yang Biao didn't intend to go back to the Taiwei's mansion, so he ordered someone to drive the car, turned onto Zhangtai Street, and headed south all the way.

"where to?"

"Go to Taixue in the south of the city. It is the busiest place in Chang'an. It not only has delicious food, but also a place where many scholars from other places gather. If you are lucky, you may be able to find someone available."

"I have a candidate, but I don't know if it's suitable."
