Han Dao world

Han Sui let out a long breath, and the smile on his face immediately became brighter.

"Your Majesty's absurd praise, I am ashamed of accepting it, and I am ashamed of accepting it. Speaking carefully, this time the autumn flood has been instructed by His Majesty, and the soldiers will work hard. The merits will surely be accomplished. The minister is just passing on the order, and there is no credit at all. The Taiwei's Mansion issued a letter of commendation, and the ministers have conveyed it to the army. The soldiers are greatly encouraged and their morale is high. If you can follow His Majesty to conquer Hebei, Hebei will definitely be pacified."

"In such a big battle, it is natural that Lai Qing and the lords must work hard to succeed immediately." Liu Xie first gave Han Sui a reassurance. "The only regret is that Qing has no chance to face Yuan Shao."

Han Sui couldn't help but laugh out loud. "What your Majesty said is true. However, this is the misfortune of the ministers, but the fortune of the people of the world. Yuan Shao is tied up, and only relying on trial and appointment, Tian Feng and his ilk, it is difficult for Shandong scholar-bureaucrats to hope. Your Majesty has a campaign but no war, and Jizhou is peaceful. Can be expected."

Liu Xie nodded.

After all, Han Sui is Han Sui, even if he feels a little disappointed, he can hide it very well, and these few words are very tactful.

"Where is Yuan Shao?"

"We've arrived in Hanoi, so we should be crossing the river now." Han Sui said lightly, with a hint of disdain. "When passing Beimang, I don't know if he will remember the past."

Liu Xie laughed, his eyes shrinking slightly.

-

Yuan Shao stood at the bow of the boat, looking at the turbid river rolling eastward, the impulse to jump down was like a crow, circling in his heart unceasingly, making ear-piercing cries.

"Jump, jump, jump, all troubles will be over."

Under the endless clamor, he involuntarily took a step forward.

Madam Yuan, who had been watching from the side, suddenly said, "Did Zhang Rang and Zhao Zhong jump from here?"

Yuan Shao was taken aback for a moment, then looked back at Mrs. Yuan, thought for a while, and the corner of his mouth twitched.

Ten years ago, the great general He Jin died. He and Yuan Shu entered the palace in the name of revenge for He Jin. Zhang Rang, Zhao Zhong and others escaped from Luoyang City under the auspices of the young emperor. It was here that Lu Zhi and others After catching up, he was forced to jump into the river.

Everything is so perfect, except for the sudden appearance of Dong Zhuo.

Ten years later, standing here, wanting to jump into this turbid current to escape the inevitable humiliation, is very similar to Zhang Rang, Zhao Zhong and others back then.

Is this the cycle of the world?

Madam Yuan didn't look at Yuan Shao, and said quietly: "Do you think Zhang Rang and Zhao Zhong will become resentful ghosts and wait in the water?"

Yuan Shao shivered violently, subconsciously took a step back, and left the bow.

Guo Tu and Xun Chen behind them exchanged glances and sighed quietly.

For them, at this moment, Yuan Shao's throwing himself into the river may be the best ending, at least he can get a reputation of not being humiliated.

Unfortunately, Mrs. Yuan saw through all these.

The courage that Yuan Shao had worked up with great difficulty disappeared when she interrupted him.

Madam Yuan turned her head and glanced at them, eyes full of disdain, she turned and went into the cabin.

Guo Tu and Xun Chen lowered their heads in shame.

"Assuming that the original is Tian Heng, can the lords be five hundred strong men and swim underground?" Madam Yuan said coldly: "If this is the case, I will persuade the emperor to break the city of Ye and punish the rebellious party in the city. Your lords are going strong."

Guo Tu and Xun Chen were so shocked that they didn't even dare to breathe.

Yuan Shao heard clearly from the side, and was also angry and annoyed.He was angry with Guo Tu and Xun Chen's sinister intentions, and deliberately persuaded him to die.Annoyed that Mrs. Yuan spoke ruthlessly and trampled the last trace of his face under her feet, she had to face the emperor's humiliation.

It is difficult to advance, difficult to retreat, difficult to live, and difficult to die.

How could I, Yuan Shao, end up in such a situation, even worse than Zhang Rang and Zhao Zhong?

Yuan Shao's chest was extremely depressed, he spurted out a mouthful of blood, he swayed twice, and fell to the bow of the boat on his back, his face was like gold paper, unconscious.

A few drops of blood fell into the river and disappeared without a trace in an instant.

Chapter 809 Meeting Tsukatora for the First Time

Liu Xiezhu is optimistic and ready to review the lectures.

This is not a simple review, it has a distinctive political significance.

In the fifth year of Zhongping and four years after the Yellow Turban was put down, the world did not have peace. Instead, there were more and more rumors, and people were panicked.

Hopefuls said that there should be soldiers in the capital, and the two palaces will bleed.

General He Jin therefore suggested that Emperor Xiaoling send out soldiers from all directions, talk about martial arts in peace and optimism, so as to detest the four directions.

The later development of the situation proved that this was simply nonsense, and it was useless.

Thinking about it further, this can even be said to be a conspiracy, a conspiracy that was not launched.Judging from various clues, the recruitment of people from all over the world is likely to be a rehearsal for Yuan Shao and others to stir up trouble behind the scenes and prepare for a coup d'état in Beijing.

Later, Dong Zhuo led his troops to Beijing, which was a reduced version of this review.

After Dong Zhuo achieved the results of the coup, the Shandong prefectures and counties raised troops to challenge Dong, which is the official version.

Emperor Xiaoling was kept in the dark, and He Jin was also played around with applause.

After repeatedly reading this period of history and deliberately consulting some parties involved, Liu Xie was deeply concerned about this review and decided to repeat it again.

This time, he is going to be the chief director, and he will hold his destiny—military power in his own hands.

The edict had already been issued in Chang'an, and now we are waiting for the responses from all parties to see who will come and who will not.

Liu Xie planned, and Han Sui was responsible for the specific implementation.

The first thing to bear the brunt is to restore the buildings of that year, mainly referring to building altars.

There are two altars.

A large altar, built with twelve layers of five-color canopy, is ten feet high and is the residence of the emperor.

A small altar, in the northeast of the big altar, was built with a nine-fold canopy, nine feet high, which was once the residence of the great general He Jin, and now it is the residence of the Fujun general Han Sui.

For this honor, Han Sui was relieved, but also felt a little uneasy.

General He Jin is not a good example.The butcher's notoriety did not please him, and the result of being decapitated was not what he was willing to accept.

But the emperor had an edict, and he couldn't refuse it.

He didn't want such an honor, but some people wanted it.

He can only comfort himself with the fact that the Son of Heaven is not Emperor Xiaoling, and he is naturally not He Jin.

In addition to Han Sui's headquarters and the left general Yang Feng's department who came to the east with the emperor, the Hanoi County soldiers arrived first, with three thousand cavalry, led by Dong Fang, the younger brother of Dong Zhao, the prefect of Hedong, and Sima Yi from Wen County. .

Liu Xie had heard of Sima Yi's name a long time ago.When Guan Yu attacked Jizhou for the first time and rescued Liu Bei, it was Sima Yi who assisted Guan Yu.In the later military newspaper, Guan Yu praised Sima Yi greatly, which left a deep impression on Liu Xie.

On the one hand, it is rare for Guan Yu to praise others, and on the other hand, it is a bit nonsensical for Guan Yu to praise Sima Yi.

But this also illustrates a sentence from the side, it is gold, and it will always shine.Although Sima Yi was not as strong as claimed in later history books, there is no doubt that he is one of the top elites of this era.

Liu Xie received Dong Fan and Sima Yi by the way.

Although he had some prejudices against Sima Yi, the first time he saw Sima Yi, he knew why Guan Yu praised Sima Yi without hesitation.

I have to say that Sima Yi looks really good.He is more than eight feet tall, with good features and a dignified appearance. He doesn't show any sinister spirit, but the sun is shining brightly and full of vigor.Even Zhuge Liang is not inferior when standing together.

He was wearing a close-fitting narrow-sleeved samurai uniform, with a long knife on his waist, and he was full of heroism.

At this time when appearance is extremely important, such a person will give people a very good first impression. If they have some talent, it will be easy to be appreciated by the superiors, and it will be much easier to stand out.

Liu Xie asked about the situation in Hanoi.

Dong Fang answered, and Sima Yi added that he did not steal Dong Fang's limelight, but also perfectly explained Dong Fang's shortcomings, which made Liu Xie very satisfied.

Dong Zhao's achievements in Hanoi were not as remarkable as Xun Yu's in Hedong, but overall they were remarkable and met Liu Xie's expectations.As the front line adjacent to Jizhou, the task of Hanoi is not economic development, but stability, blocking possible attacks from the direction of Jizhou.

If not, how could Hedong be able to produce with peace of mind.

Now the situation has changed, Yuan Shao has become a vassal, and the judges shrink the line of defense and retreat to Yecheng.Hanoi's role as the front line has disappeared, and the focus has shifted to economic construction.

"What does Mr. Dong Fu think of Du Tian?" Liu Xie asked routinely.

This was a question of government affairs. Dong Fang didn't answer, but looked at Sima Yi.

Sima Yi did not rush, cupped his hands and said: "Your Majesty Dong thinks that saving the fields will benefit the country and the people is the trend of the times. However, the court is not in a hurry to seek success, and it is a mature move to carry out trials according to local conditions. The Lord Dong Fu has issued an imperial edict, and The magistrates of the various counties discussed and selected Linli, Dangyin, and Chaoge counties to try to save the fields."

Liu Xie glanced at the map and couldn't help laughing.

Dong Zhao really knows where to choose.

The three counties of Linlu, Dangyin, and Chaoge are all remote places, and these counties have been the front line for the past few years, presumably most of the people have fled.

The promotion of Dutian in these three counties is clearly a fool.

Besides, the previous edicts of the imperial court have always used the county as a unit to try out land saving. When did it say that several counties within a county were selected for land saving?

Even perfunctory is perfunctory so confidently, he really is a master.

Dong Zhao sent Sima Yi here not to cooperate with the review, but to respond to the imperial court's request for Dutian.

"Why did you choose these three counties to try it out instead of the whole county?"

Sima Yi cupped his hands and said, "Returning to your majesty, I chose three counties for farming instead of the whole county for trial. There are two reasons: Hanoi is small and crowded, and the land is limited, but these three counties are slightly wider. The disturbance in these three counties is the least. It will work the fastest. This is the first thing. The three counties are mountainous, and the old Yellow Turbans are entrenched. If you can attract the Yellow Turbans to occupy the territory, you can not only garrison the land, but also suppress the rebellion, killing two birds with one stone. This is the second."

"Is the old Yellow Turban army you're talking about the Black Mountain Army?" Liu Xie frowned.

"It's a part of the Black Mountain Army." Sima Yi explained: "Since Lord Zhongfu was ordered to farm in Shangdang, the main force of the Black Mountain Army has moved to Shangdang, but there are still some people who don't want to farm and stay in the Longli Mountain area. These People are soldiers of hundreds of battles and are familiar with the terrain. When soldiers arrive, they flee into the mountains, and when soldiers retreat, they come back and are difficult to clear. Only by saving the land can they live in peace."

Liu Xie blinked and signaled Sima Yi to be more specific.

He always thought that the Black Mountain Army had gone to Shangdang to farm, but he didn't expect that there were still people in Hanoi.From what Sima Yi said, it seems that there are still people who came back from Shangdang.

Zhong Yao never mentioned this matter.

Local officials have reservations about the court and will not report everything, which is normal.However, the settlement is not only related to the safety of Shangdang County, but also to the stability of the entire defense line against Jizhou. The Black Mountain Army is the main force in the battle against Jizhou.Such a thing, Zhong Yao concealed it and did not report it, which cannot but be suspected.

Considering that the Ruying people have collectively switched jobs recently and bargained with the imperial court overtly and secretly, Liu Xie has to be more careful to prevent accidents.

Chapter 810

Dong Fang led his troops to garrison Lin Li, and Sima Yi accompanied him as the chief secretary.When he learned that some Montenegrin troops had returned, he tried to contact them, and he had a good understanding of the relevant situation.

According to the soldiers of the Black Mountain Army, Zhang Yan and Zhong Yao did not get along very well.

No one can explain the specific reason clearly, but Zhang Yan was about to send troops to attack Yecheng several times, but was stopped by Zhong Yao.When Yuan Shao besieged Pengcheng with the main force last year, Zhang Yan asked to attack again, and even pulled the soldiers out of the camp. In the end, Zhong Yao threatened to cut off food and had to retreat to the station.

After that time, the conflict between the two intensified, and it became a well-known secret.

This is the time when part of the Montenegrin army returned to the old village in the area of ​​Linli.Among them, a general named Yu Du was the most violent, and even said that the Ruying people are all hypocrites, and he and the Ruying people are incompatible.

When hearing this, Sima Yi made a special comment.

"I think this is a poisonous statement, not trustworthy. As far as I know, although Lord Zhongfu is from Ruying, he is stationed in the Shangdang, scrupulously performing his duties, and has no contact with the city of Ye."

Liu Xie smiled.

What Sima Yi said was nonsense.

As far as you know?You are in Hanoi, can you know about Shangdang?

"How about Yu Duqi? Have you met each other?"

Sima Yi shook his head and looked at Dong Fang.

Dong Fang quickly said: "Your Majesty does not know that the Black Mountain Army was originally an ant thief. After being recruited by the court, the military discipline has improved slightly, but there are still some people who are bold and reckless and do not follow orders. Yu Du is a typical example. He was the leader at the beginning. The Ministry attacked Yecheng and captured Yuan Shao and his family members of Wenwu. Later, my brother guarded Wei County and had a confrontation with him. After my brother was ordered to guard Hanoi, Yu Du harassed Hanoi many times and fought with our army. Thanks to the master book Familiar with the terrain, the minister will try his best to protect it. We have met each other a few times on the battlefield, and we have no contact with each other."

"Has he ever invaded Yecheng?" Liu Xie was surprised.

Dong Fang regretted the words as soon as he uttered them, but he couldn't take them back, so he had to bite the bullet and say, "Yes."

Liu Xie thought about it. "I want to see him, do you have a way to find him?"

Dong Fang was still hesitant, so Sima Yi said: "Your Majesty, I would like to go and call him to see you."

Liu Xie looked at Sima Yi, nodded in agreement, and then wrote a hand edict, ordering Sima Yi to summon Yu Du to see him.

-

Xiaopingjin Pass.

Yuan Shao lay on the hospital bed with his eyes closed.

Madam Yuan stood in front of the bed, took a look at him, and sighed.

"When the party was in prison, you hid in Ruyang for mourning. When Dong Zhuo entered Beijing, you hid in Bohai Sea. Now that you are in this field, if you still want to hide, where can you hide?"

Yuan Shao slowly opened his eyes, and said weakly, "What do you want to say?"

"There is only one thing I want to say. There are some things that cannot be avoided by hiding. Even if you bite the bullet, you have to go up to it. Stretching your head is a knife, and shrinking your head is also a knife. Why bother, laughing for the world?"

Yuan Shao's face flushed, and then turned pale again.
