Han Dao world

Killing is very simple, let the opponent kneel on the ground and sing conquest, that is the sense of accomplishment.

"Cai Lingshi, please come." Liu Xie said.

Shangshu got up, and after a while, Cai Yan hurried over.She was dressed in casual clothes, her fingers and cuffs were stained with ink, but she was in high spirits.

"Your Majesty summoned his ministers, what orders do you have?"

Liu Xie handed the letter of guilt to Cai Yan and motioned her to take a look.

Cai Yan took it, glanced at the beginning, and was taken aback.She looked up at Liu Xie, wanted to say something, swallowed it, and buried herself in the reading.

Liu Xie sat quietly, thinking that Yuan Shao's matter was almost finished.

I heard that Yuan Shao was seriously ill, and he probably wouldn't last for a few days.Once this plea is published, Yuan Shao may hang up immediately.That being the case, he cannot be allowed to die in Luoyang.

He just wanted to beat the fox, and he didn't want to make a fuss.

Cai Yan finished reading the letter of guilt, put it lightly on the case, and clasped his hands together, a little cautiously.

Liu Xie turned to look at her with puzzled eyes.

Cai Yan was silent for a moment, then sighed. "What is His Majesty's order?"

"If you're writing a biography for Yuan Shao, what else do you need to add?" Liu Xie picked up the apology book and glanced at it again. "Do you think it's better to pass it alone or together? If it's a joint pass, with whom should you pass it together?"

Cai Yan smiled wryly. "Let's pass it on alone. Although there are many princes in one side, he is the only one who has such a great influence and is so bad."

Liu Xie smiled.

He understood what Cai Yan meant.It is enough to have Yuan Shao alone as an example, don't get involved too much.People are shameless, Yuan Shao has already lost his reputation, and no one wants to get involved with him.

"No way? In any case, Yuan Shao was once a leader who was well-received by everyone, but now there is no one to join him?" Liu Xie shook his head and said regretfully: "I don't believe it."

Cai Yan felt a little pain in the head.

Your Majesty is not enjoying himself, how should I persuade him?

Fortunately, Liu Xie did not embarrass Cai Yan.He ordered Cai Yan to quickly prepare a draft of Yuan Shao's biography, and then ordered someone to copy several copies of this apology.

One copy was sent to Youzhou and handed over to Yuan Shu.

A copy was sent to Suiyang and handed over to Yuan Quan, who ordered her to engrave and print a special issue to announce it to the world.

In the end, he sent someone to copy another copy and gave it to Liu Biao for appreciation.

-

Liu Biao was recuperating from illness, so he was surprised to learn that the emperor sent someone to see him.

After receiving the food and medicine from the emperor, Liu Biao saw the copy of the confession, and suddenly broke out in a cold sweat, and sat up from the hospital bed.

"This is..." Liu Biao's hands trembled, and the bamboo paper rattled in his hands.

The envoy explained the situation with a smile, then bowed and withdrew.

Liu Qi sent the envoy out, and when he came back, he found that Liu Biao had already landed on the ground, and was walking back and forth in the house with difficulty with his legs crossed.Liu Qi was taken aback, and quickly stepped forward to support him.

"Ah Weng, your leg injury is still not healed, how can you get out of bed?"

"Can I still lie down?" Liu Biao was a little annoyed, and slapped Liu Qi's face on the confession book he had just read halfway through. "Prepare the car, I'm going to see Shi Sun Rui."

Liu Qi didn't dare to be negligent, and he didn't care to read the booklet, so he hurriedly sent someone to prepare the car.

Although Liu Biao was bedridden, he was not idle. He kept sending people to watch out for Sun Rui and Yuan Shao.Sun Rui went to visit Yuan Shao, he was very clear about it.Judging from the time, this plea is most likely related to Shi Sun Rui.

In the car, Liu Biao finished reading the apology, feeling very complicated.

On the one hand, he knew that Yuan Shao's reputation would be ruined once the pleadings were made, and he would have no chance to stand up.

Yuan Shao persisted for so long, he was only willing to concede a minister, he refused to plead guilty, and in the end he still couldn't escape.Under the emperor's soft and hard actions, he finally pleaded guilty.

Yuan Shao, who was once famous all over the world, has fallen to such a point, even Liu Biao, who has always been dissatisfied with him, can't help but feel sad.

On the other hand, he was uneasy about himself.

What does it mean that the emperor sent this apology to himself?

Do you want me to plead guilty like Yuan Shao?

Although he was not as arrogant as Yuan Shao, and he publicly claimed authority, but he was sacrificed in the suburbs of Jingzhou, and there was no essential difference from Yuan Shao in terms of etiquette.

They are all traitors.

And judging from the situation, the emperor's attitude towards him is exactly the same as towards Yuan Shao.

It made him very nervous.

The Son of Heaven sent me this plea, does it imply that I will also plead guilty, or does he want me to condemn Yuan Shao together?

When Liu Biao rushed to Shisun Rui's camp, Shisun Rui was training soldiers.

After two days of rest, he resumed training.In the big camp, the drums were rumbling, and the shouts of killing shook the sky.Even standing outside the camp, you can feel the high morale of the soldiers in the formation.

Sitting on the carriage, Liu Biao watched the soldiers in the camp practice through the fence, and couldn't help feeling a little emotional.

"It would be very difficult for Kuai Yidu to win the championship."

Liu Qi stood outside the car and added lightly. "Although Shisun Junrong's subordinates are skilled, I am afraid that they are still a little far from the emperor's requirements for the Northern Army. As for the leader, they are not what they could have expected."

Liu Biao was taken aback. "Is there anyone who is better at training soldiers than soldier Sun Junrong?"

Liu Qi turned to look at Liu Biao. "Not only there are, but there are many. As far as I know, Liu Xuzhou is stronger than Shi Sun Junrong."

Liu Biao looked at Liu Qi, wondering if Liu Qi was exaggerating.

He still knows what kind of person Liu Bei is.Even if he has improved over the years, can his military training level surpass that of Sun Rui?

Although Shi Sunrui is also a scholar-bureaucrat, he is not a scholar-bureaucrat who can only sit and talk about Taoism.More than ten years ago, when Liu Bei was just a brave man, Shi Sun Rui was one of the five captains under Gai Xun's command.I haven't been idle in Taiyuan these years, and my ability has improved visible to the naked eye.

Just as he was thinking, the gate of the camp opened, someone came out and invited Liu Biao and his son into the camp.

Liu Biao entered the camp, and the carriage went under the general platform of the Chinese army, and he saw the fully armed soldier Sun Rui on the platform.Shi Sun Rui leaned out and waved.

"Jing Sheng, how is the injury? Can you come up?"

Liu Biao's legs were injured, so he was unable to move, but when he got here, he really wanted to see Sun Rui's military training level, so he gritted his teeth and nodded, and asked Liu Qi to help him to the general platform.

Shi Sun Rui stood on the general platform, watching Liu Biao gritted his teeth, moved up the general platform step by step, and nodded slightly.

"In this way, he looks like someone who went out from the Northern Army."

He took Liu Biao's hand, came to the edge of the platform, raised his hand, and pressed down.

With the sound of a few drums, the soldiers who were practicing immediately stopped, and there was no sound in the huge training ground.

Chapter 832 Ten years ago

"Does anyone know him?" Shi Sun Rui said loudly, his voice was as loud as a bell.

Liu Biao is more than eight feet tall. Even though his leg is injured and he is not standing up straight, he is still half a head taller than Shi Sun Rui.He has good facial features, outstanding appearance, and well-dressed clothes, which immediately attracted the attention of the soldiers.

Soon, someone asked loudly, "Is it Shanyang Liu Jingsheng, one of the Eight Talents?"

Before the words fell, there was a commotion in the crowd.

Shi Sunrui looked back at Liu Biao, and said with a smile, "Jing Sheng's name is really known all over the world."

Liu Biao smiled, and unconsciously straightened his chest and back.

Shi Sun Rui turned his head and signaled the soldiers to be quiet again. "That's right, he is Shanyang Liu Jingsheng, one of the Eight Talents. Some people may still remember him. Ten years ago, he served as the middle marshal of the Northern Army."

All of a sudden, everyone became a little excited.

Liu Biao's heart also jumped suddenly, and his blood was a little hot.

"Today, he was ordered to go to Luoyang to recover from his illness and come to see the Northern Army drill. Please work hard, don't lose the face of the Northern Army."

"Here!" Thousands of soldiers roared in unison, shaking the ground.

Liu Biao glanced at Sun Rui in surprise, not knowing what it meant.He didn't make an appointment to see Shi Sun Rui, but a temporary decision after receiving the emperor's edict. Why did Shi Sun Rui seem to have been prepared for a long time?

Could it be that he had discussed it with the emperor?

Just when Liu Biao guessed, Shi Sun Rui commanded the soldiers of the Northern Army to start the drill.

Although Liu Biao is not very interested in martial arts, he has been in Jingzhou for a few years, and he has come into contact with it to some extent.Looking at the formations practiced by the Northern Army, he knew that the Northern Army in front of him was completely different from the Northern Army when he was in the middle of the Northern Army.

The equipment and tactics of these people have far surpassed the Northern Army of the year, and also far surpassed the Jingzhou elite led by Kuai Yue.

The biggest change is morale.

When he served as a middle-ranker in the Northern Army, the Northern Army was already a mess, filled with loafers and dudes around Luoyang, and Hu Qi soldiers were also infected with the bad habits of the Han people, so they had no intention of training.Every review is just going through the motions, let alone rehearsing exquisite tactics, even the queues are loose and disheveled.

But the soldiers of the northern army in front of them were not.Each of them has distinctive armor, their killing sounds are loud, and every operation is meticulous. It doesn't look like a drill at all, but actual combat.

And it is a matter of life and death.

This is probably because they are stationed in Taiyuan and are ready to attack Jizhou at any time.

Liu Biao secretly speculated.

Liu Qi on the side was also fascinated, and unconsciously compared it with Liu Bei's training.In contrast, the armor and clothing of the Northern Army are neater and their movements are more standard.But I don't know why, they don't have the murderous spirit of Liu Bei's soldiers.

Although they also shout loudly and go all out.

Perhaps it was because they were stationed in Taiyuan and had no experience in actual combat.In contrast, Liu Bei's subordinates first defended Pengcheng, then entered Langya, fought Yuan Xi for more than a year, and never left the battlefield.

The most recent large-scale battle of the Northern Army should have been the Battle of Huayin four years ago.

-

After the rehearsal, Shi Sun Rui had a drink with Liu Biao on the platform.

"Jing Sheng, how do you think the Northern Army compares to that year?"

Liu Biao raised his glass with emotion. "Junrong's army is ten times better than mine. Today's Northern Army is the real elite, worthy of the name of the country's dry city."

Shi Sun Rui smiled, raised his wine glass, touched Liu Biao, and drank it down.

"If you want to say that the Northern Army is ten times stronger than it was back then, I will do my part. But this is not a comparison between you and me, but the situation is different. If you were not the Marquis of the Northern Army, but me, the Northern Army would still be in a state of disunity and cannot be an elite. The name."

Liu Biao pondered what Shi Sun Rui meant, and remained silent.

At the beginning when he was appointed as the middle marshal of the Northern Army, it was Yuan Shao, Wang Yun and others who wanted to control the Northern Army instead of letting the general He Jin mess around.

He Jin is incompetent. Although he wants to fight against Emperor Xiaoling and protect the position of the emperor's eldest son Liu Bian, he has no foresight, acts in a disorderly manner, and hesitates. Sometimes he listens to Yuan Shao, and sometimes he makes his own decisions. , which made Yuan Shao very annoyed.

Taking advantage of the chance that Emperor Xiaoling built the Xiyuan Army and He Jin was in dire straits, Yuan Shao and others recommended him to be the Zhonghou of the Northern Army and control the Northern Army.

The West Garden Army was built, but in name only.Except for Emperor Xiaoling himself, who claims to be the Supreme General, and Jian Shuo, who is in charge of the schools in name, the eight school lieutenants are all Yuan Shao's people.

The Northern Army is still the most irreplaceable force in the capital, and it is in the hands of Liu Biao.

But it is a pity that when Dong Zhuo entered Beijing, all the plans became a joke.

Facing the brutal Xiliang frontier army, the Northern Army was vulnerable.Yuan Shao fled in a hurry, so he had no choice but to bow down to Dong Zhuo, and later accepted Dong Zhuo's order to serve as the governor of Jingzhou.

If the Northern Army had the combat power it has today, would Yuan Shao have fled?

If Yuan Shao doesn't escape, will Dong Zhuo still have a chance of chaos?

The situation is likely to be another situation.

Mr. Sun Rui showed me these, did he remind me that the situation collapsed back then, and I was responsible for it?

Shi Sunrui poured another glass of wine. "Jing Sheng, the northern army's military discipline was corrupt and its combat power was weak. What's the reason?"

Liu Biao came back to his senses, his eyes swept over Shi Sun Rui's face, but he didn't find Shi Sun Rui's intention of teasing.He thought for a while and sighed.

"Of course I'm incompetent."

The corner of Shi Sun Rui's mouth twitched slightly. "You don't have to be so self-effacing. As I said just now, even if I was the commander of the Northern Army, it wouldn't change anything."

He took a sip of the wine and held it in his mouth, but he didn't swallow it for a long time, as if the wine was bitter and hard to swallow.

After a while, he swallowed the wine into his stomach. "A gentleman is virtuous, but a villain is virtuous. Back then, the morality of the soldiers was decaying, they were all about empty talk, and they despised practical work. How could they expect the soldiers to train hard, and how could they expect the Northern Army to make great use of it and defeat Dong Zhuo?"

Sun Rui let out a long sigh. "As early as when Dou Wu and Chen Fan started the incident, we knew that the Northern Army was useless and not an opponent of the frontier army. But what did we do? For 20 years, we did nothing, not even people like Li Ying gone."

Liu Biao's heart skipped a beat, and he suddenly understood what Shi Sun Rui meant.

After the defeat of Dou Wu and Chen Fan, the eunuchs became more and more arrogant, and the party members became more angry because of this. It gradually became a consensus to use force to counter the eunuchs.

But what changes did they make?

20 years of painstaking planning all stayed on the lips, and in the end it was still vulnerable.
