Chapter 769: Take the initiative
"What!"
As soon as Liu Zheng's words were spoken, his face immediately changed.
It seems that he was surprised by this news.
"Is what Your Majesty said true?"
"Naturally, it's true, the news that my Jinyi guards came back from Luoyang quickly, presumably, it won't be long before the news spreads, and your lord Yuan Shao should also know."
Hearing Liu Zheng's affirmation, the expression on his face immediately became ugly at this time.
"My lord, the incident happened suddenly, and I have something important to go back to discuss with my lord. Please allow me to return to Yecheng. ”
Liu Zheng just said that he wanted to stay in the frustration, and now the frustration is proposing to return to Yecheng, can Liu Zheng agree?
"Mr. Fuzhi, your general has many advisers, and there is no shortage of you, this place is far away from Yecheng, you rush back now, it's too late." Why don't you stay, live in my Jianye City for a while, since you and I have been allied, then there must be someone to contact here, I don't like the Guo Tu who came last time, but Mr. Frustration, let me have a good impression, it is better to stay with Mr. Frustration. ”
As Liu Zheng spoke, his tone began to become a little colder.
The implication is already obvious, if Fu Zhu does not agree, then the matter of cooperation will have to be discussed again.
Frustrated to hear Liu Zheng's tone change, he was so honorable, he naturally understood what Liu Zheng meant.
Although it is not clear why Liu Zheng wants him to stay, but since Liu Zheng has spoken, if he does not comply, then he does not know if he can leave this Jianye City alive.
"Alright then, I'll stay and send someone back to reply to my lord."
"This is very good, I will set up a banquet in the palace tonight, and wait for Mr. Fu to go to the banquet to discuss how to deal with the affairs of the Han court."
Liu Zheng was afraid that this guy would really leave, so he hurriedly said a word to Fu Zhi, ostensibly to invite him to drink and discuss how to deal with the big man, but in fact, he wanted to make sure that Fu Zhu had left.
Liu Zheng invited Fu Zhu to have a meal in the evening, gave him a taste of Sanliangye, a specialty of Wu County, and discussed the specific impact of the death of He Miao, a general of the Han Dynasty.
He Miao's death was undoubtedly a huge blow to the Han Dynasty.
The Han Dynasty, which was originally able to unite some concerted efforts, began to split after He Miao's death.
Although the hussar general Lu Zhi succeeded to the throne and once again assumed the post of general, Lu Zhi's prestige was obviously not enough, and he could not deter some local officials in the imperial court.
Not to mention that Lu Zhi's prestige is not enough, even He Miao is not enough, only when He Jin was in power, the local princes were barely able to obey the imperial court, and since He Miao succeeded to the throne, the princes everywhere have become less and less concerned with the imperial court.
Among them, Dong Zhuo is the one who doesn't look down on Lu Zhi at all.
Since Dong Zhuo suffered a big loss at the hands of Liu Zheng a few years ago, he was sent to Xiliang by He Miao to cooperate with Huangfu Song to attack the rebellion of the Qiang people in Xiliang.
Later, Huangfu Song died, but Dong Zhuo has been stationed in Xiliang to serve as the assassin of Xiliang.
He not only incorporated some Qiang people who were originally in Xiliang, but also had a good relationship with Han Sui, Bian Zhang and others in Xiliang, as if he was already dominant in the Xiliang family.
As soon as He Miao died this time, the news reached Xiliang Dong Zhuo was bound to take the opportunity to invade the land of Sanfu in the name of He Miao's revenge.
If Dong Zhuo was still just about to move, then those Huns in the north were even more eager to try at this moment and wanted to enter the pass.
The Bingzhou area was harassed by the Huns all the year round, and there was a Bingzhou Assassin Shi Ding Yuan stationed before, and those Huns confronted in the Bingzhou area, there were fierce generals such as Lu Bu and Zhang Liao, and those Huns could not be too presumptuous, but since Ding Yuan was sent south by the imperial court to attack Liu Zheng two years ago, he cooperated with Liu Biao to be stationed in Jingzhou.
Although the imperial court also sent new men and horses to control the Bingzhou area, there was no fierce general to garrison, and there was a lack of soldiers and horses to fight against the Huns, and the Bingzhou area was already harassed by the Huns last year.
Now that the imperial court is in turmoil again, and the annexed state area is already in danger, only the Huns need to send a little more manpower.
I'm afraid that it will be difficult to stop those Huns' men and horses, the place originally occupied by the Baibo army has been harassed by the Huns all the year round, if the Huns can gather 350,000 cavalry, they can go directly south, kill Hedong County in one go, and directly enter Luoyang through Hedong County.
In addition, Yuan Shao in Jizhou and Youzhou is also waiting for the civil strife in the imperial court, and has already deployed soldiers and horses to attack at any time.
Originally, the imperial court could still dispatch Liu Yan from Yizhou, but now that there is no general He Miao, the imperial court has no strength to command these princes, and Liu Yan will not pay attention to the imperial court at all, and is willing to be his own soil emperor in Yizhou, where the emperor is far away.
In fact, the areas that the imperial court can really control now, in addition to the Gyeonggi region where it is located, are only left, Yanzhou and Yuzhou, and half of Xuzhou.
Yuzhou was originally Yuan Shu's territory.
Later, after Ding Yuan sent his own men and horses to drive Yuan Shu out of Yuzhou, Yuzhou was recaptured by the imperial court.
However, if the imperial court wants to use these four states to fight against the princes of the entire world, it is not so easy.
Before, Liu Zhengdu was just blindly defending, defending, waiting for others to attack.
He rarely takes the initiative to attack, not that he is unwilling to take the initiative, but during the previous period of time, he fought in the north and south, and he had to face too many enemies.
This led to the fact that Liu Zheng did not have his own time to attack the city and take the initiative.
It's been being led by the nose all the time.
Now that he is emperor, there will be no new wars in the short term.
In addition, Liu Zheng has been bullied by the imperial court for this period of time, and it is his turn to fight back.
After talking to Fu Zhu, Liu Zheng had a detailed chat with Fu Zhu about taking the initiative to attack this time.
Liu Zheng led his men and horses to attack Jingzhou and Yuzhou, while Yuan Shao led his men and horses to attack Yanzhou and Xuzhou.
So that they could divide up these territories of the imperial court.
This decision was put forward by Liu Zheng himself. Xuzhou and Yanzhou border, and Yuan Shao's Jizhou and Qingzhou are adjacent to each other, if Liu Zheng put forward this idea, Yuan Shao will definitely not refuse.
And Liu Zheng's troops are mostly concentrated near Jingzhou and Yuzhou, and it would be better for Liu Zheng to attack these two places.
After all, most of Jingzhou is in the hands of Liu Zheng.
Liu Zheng's main purpose is actually Yuzhou.
