Chapter 53: Strategizing
"You can report from Jizhou to break out of the siege, it is enough to prove your loyalty, are you willing to serve me and destroy the traitor?" Liu Xie fixed his eyes and stared at Zhang Hedao.
Smell.
Zhang He's expression became extremely serious, and suddenly, he bowed to Liu Xie: "The minister Zhang He is a great Han people, and the allegiance is His Majesty, and the minister is willing to go to the soup for His Majesty and never give up." ”
"From today on, you will join the Qiqi Legion as Vice General Zhao Yun. Liu Xie immediately made an order.
"Minister Zhang He thanked His Majesty for his grace. Zhang He said gratefully.
From the original herald to a deputy general, this is a great opportunity, of course, this may also be what he deserves, Jizhou has all fallen and fallen into the control of Yuan Shao, and Yuan Shao also surrendered the original 150,000 troops in Jizhou, and his strength has risen sharply.
Zhang He traveled thousands of miles to report the news, and he had already given up his life for the sake of the Han, why didn't he use such a loyal Liu Xie?
What's more important is that his talent is not bad, and later generations are known as one of the four court pillars in Hebei, and it is also the most wise and brave one.
"Pass the imperial doctor and take Zhang Aiqing down to heal his injuries. Liu Xie said loudly.
"Yes. Immediately, two soldiers of the forbidden army took Zhang He down to heal his wounds.
"Your Majesty, Yuan Shao is rebellious, and the minister asks for an order. Lu Bu spoke up again.
"No hurry, no hurry. Liu Xie shook his head calmly, not taking Yuan Shao in his eyes at all.
Although Jizhou is rich, it is the territory of the Han Dynasty after all.
Yuan Shao now has 200,000 soldiers and horses, but after all, he is not a cronie he cultivated, of which the 150,000 army is the defenders of Jizhou.
"In this situation, Guo Aiqing, Jia Aiqing, what strategy do you have?" Liu Xie looked at Guo Jia and Jia Xu and asked, these two strategic ministers should already have an idea.
"Lord Jia says it first or me first?" Guo Jia smiled and looked at Jia Xudao.
"Young people first. Jia Xu laughed.
"That being the case, then Guo is welcome. Guo Jia also smiled, and immediately stood in the hall and said: "Your Majesty, the minister thinks that my court can not send troops for the time being." ”
"Why is this? Do you want to let Yuan Shao, a traitor, go unpunished, and let him embrace Jizhou to become bigger?" When Lu Bu heard this, he suddenly became anxious.
Listen to Guo Aiqing. Liu Xie's eyes widened, and Lu Bu immediately shut up.
"I have thirteen states in the Han Dynasty, the princes are standing, each state has left-behind soldiers and horses, and the neighboring states and counties of Jizhou have Youzhou, and the state, Qingzhou, Yanzhou, the four states have been geographically surrounded by Jizhou, which is actually controlled by my imperial court, Youzhou is the imperial prince Liu Yu is the state pastor, and Yanzhou Mu Liu Dai is also the Han family, among these two people, Liu Yu is loyal to the Han family and will not betray His Majesty, and Liu Dai should not dare to betray His Majesty. ”
"Therefore, Your Majesty can issue a holy decree to order the two states to lead a large army to destroy the rebellious Yuan Shao, and as for the annexation of the state, you can also send a large army to the east and besiege it in three ways, so that Yuan Shao will be defeated. Guo Jia proposed, with the ability to strategize.
"Lord Guo has a good plan, if this plan is successful, my court can take down Yuan Shao and destroy the rebels without spending a single soldier. ”
As soon as Guo Jia's strategy came out, Lu Bu, who was originally reluctant to shout and kill, immediately knew the benefits of this strategy, and immediately clapped his hands and praised.
"Master Guo's brilliant plan. ”
The civil and military officials realized the effectiveness of this strategy and nodded their heads in praise.
"You have said it in Bingzhou, Yanzhou, and Youzhou, why not Qingzhou. Liu Xie pondered for a while and said loudly.
"Back to Your Majesty, Qingzhou is a little complicated, and the minister wants to say it or not. Guo Jia said with a hippie smile.
"Qingzhou, the only state and county in the thirteen states of the Han Dynasty that has not been actually controlled by the princes, the state pastor is Liu Qing, and he is also a relative of the Han family, but his life in Qingzhou is not good, after the defeat of the army, the millions of Yellow Turban troops are hiding in the mountains and forests of Qingzhou, and the troops are left, if Qingzhou is allowed to send troops, the Yellow Turban Army will inevitably take advantage of the fire to rob and cause trouble in Qingzhou, so you Guo Jiacai did not say. Liu Xie said with a smile.
"Hehe, Your Majesty is wise, the minister is just making suggestions, and the specific decision-making power is still handed over to Your Majesty. Guo Jia said with a smile, in this court, only he has a hippie smile, looking like a prodigal son.
"The minister thought that this move could be used to give the millions of Yellow Turban Army in Qingzhou a chance. Jia Xu stood up and arched his hand.
"I understand what you mean. Liu Xie glanced at Jia Xu and pondered.
"Your Majesty, the minister thinks that Lord Jia Xu's proposal can be considered. ”
Then.
Chen Gong also stood up.
Then he respectfully said to Gao Zuo: "During the ceremony of sacrificing to the heavens that day, Your Majesty once said that the root of the Yellow Turban Uprising was the failure of the imperial court and the inaction of local officials.
"This time Yuan Shao rebelled, the minister expected that Yuan Shao would also put his mind on the body of the Qingzhou Yellow Turban Army, if he could get a million Yellow Turban Army, the power would be even greater, and my court could also send people to the Yellow Turban Army Village, saying that His Majesty was holy, and was willing to give them a chance to reform themselves, as long as they sent troops to attack Yuan Shao, the court would no longer investigate the Yellow Turban Army. ”
"Lord Chen Gong is right. ”
The minister seconded. Xun Yu stood up and arched his hand.
"In the final analysis, the million Yellow Turban Army is also my Han people, and their rebellion is also instigated, and the minister feels that His Majesty can give them a chance, if they are willing to surrender to our court, Your Majesty can give them forgiveness, otherwise, they are stubborn, and when the army of our court is overturned, they will cut down the grass and eradicate the roots, and no one will be left. Jia Xu pondered for a while, and then stood up and said.
Jia Xu is not a benevolent strategist, on the contrary, he is a strategist who can do whatever it takes to achieve his ends, which is how the name of the poisoner given to him in later generations comes from.
But Jia Xu was far-sighted and knew that one day the millions of yellow turbans in Qingzhou would be solved after all, and he could take this opportunity to understand the Yellow Turban Army first.
"Since all the secretaries think that they can give Qingzhou millions of yellow turbans a chance, if I don't allow it, won't I become a tyrant. Liu Xie looked around, smiled and said.
"Your Majesty. The civil and military ministers said in unison.
"Intended. Liu Xiewei said.
"Order Youzhou Liu Yu to lead Youzhou infantry to attack Jizhou from the south, order Yanzhou Liu Dai to lead the Yanzhou army to attack Jizhou from the west, and order Zhang Liao to lead the Hezhou army to attack Jizhou from the east. Liu Xiewei said in a voice.
"As for Qingzhou..."Liu Xie pondered for a while and asked, "Who is the commander of the million yellow turbans now?"
"Your Majesty, the minister has investigated the Yellow Turban Army, since the death of Zhang Jiao's three brothers one after another, the current commander of the Yellow Turban Army is Zhang Jiao's two righteous sons, Zhang Niujiao and Zhang Yan. Guo Jia stood up and replied.
