Chapter 217: Offering Advice
This person's name, the saint should have heard it, cough cough, he is, is...... Huaxing with Dong Zhuo in his hand. β
"What? Actually, it was him? β
Although Liu Xie had never seen Huaxing with his own eyes, he had heard a lot of rumors about this person.
From the initial demon descending from the sky, to the later killing of Dong Zhuo and the kidnapping of Weiyang Jun out of the city, Liu Xie has heard of it.
Even later, Huaxing defeated the Xiqiang warrior Ozanugo in Hongnong, and led a thousand soldiers to defeat the bandit soldiers of Sankun Mountain, Liu Xie also heard about it from Wang Yun's mouth.
In addition, Liu Xie's enemy Dong Zhuo died at the hands of Huaxing.
Therefore, in Liu Xie's eyes, he has always regarded Huaxing as a heroic hero, and he has a sense of awe for this person.
And at this moment, when he heard that the new owner of the iron mine turned out to be Huaxing, Liu Xie was surprised, and there was also a little confusion in his eyes:
"How could it be him? Isn't he in Hongnong? Why did you go to Luyuan Mountain to open a mine? β
According to the miners, Huaxing has been living in the village for several months. Regarding this matter, I also ordered someone to go to Hongnong to verify. The miners were right, and Huaxing left Hongnong shortly after LΓΌ Bu's death, and he has been stationed in the village ever since. Fu Wan replied truthfully.
"Good guy, what did he do in the village?" After listening to Fu Wan's explanation, Liu Xie was still confused.
"The old man doesn't know. But judging from the current situation, Huaxing is not only recruiting troops, but also wantonly stockpiling grain collectors, it seems that he wants to support troops and stand on his own......"
"What?"
Hearing the words "support the army and stand on its own", Liu Xie's eyes immediately crossed a line of panic: "You mean, he, he wants to overthrow the widow?" β
"What is the purpose of Huaxing's move, the old man does not know. However, Luoyuan Village is only a day's journey from Luoyang, and if it is left unchecked, I am afraid that the risk is extremely high, and it should be eliminated as soon as possible. In addition, the iron vein is the resource of my Han court, and if I don't take it back, I am afraid that it will be imitated by heaven and man, so the old man suggested that it should be recovered immediately. β
If there is chaos today, many warlords are ambitious and have the intention of fighting for the throne.
As a loyal minister of the Han family, in order to safeguard the interests of the imperial court, it is normal for Fu Wan to have such thoughts.
Especially the forces around Luoyang, he should be more cautious.
Because once the other party is allowed to develop, it will inevitably pose a threat to the imperial court.
That's why Fu Wan made such a suggestion, just because he didn't want to give Huaxing a chance to grow.
"Huh? What does Lord Fu mean...... Is it to send troops to conscript? β
As soon as he heard that he was going to start a war with Huaxing, Liu Xie's face suddenly showed hesitation:
"Huaxing is a widow's benefactor! If he hadn't killed Dong Zhuo, the widow might still be under Dong Zhuo's control now, wouldn't it be a little ...... for us to do this?"
"Huaxing's killing of Dong Zhuo is indeed kind to my Han family, and this matter is true. But now he not only privately occupies the iron mine, but also develops forces around Luoyang, if we let it go, what is the difference between it and raising tigers? Could it be that the saint still wants to cultivate a second Dong thief? β
Liu Xie's heart is not very firm, and he is still young, and he lacks assertiveness in many things. was so frightened by the ambush, he immediately gave up the idea of repaying the favor, nodded and agreed:
"Uh...... What Lord Fu said was extremely true, just now the widow relented. However, if we really want to send troops, who should we send? The other party is the brave and warlike General Hua, who defeated 3,000 thieves in Qiankuo Mountain with only 1,000 remnants, and the widow is worried that no one in the court is his opponent......"
Although he gave up the idea of repaying his kindness, the thought of going to war with Huaxing, the demon that descended from the sky, Liu Xie's heart was still a little uneasy, and a trace of fear flashed in his eyes.
And Liu Xie's worries are actually in his heart.
Although Hua Xing did not have many troops, he knew that it would not be easy to defeat the other party.
Therefore, after much consideration, he finally decided not to use the forces of the imperial court, but to follow the example of the last battle of Sankun Mountain, and let the other princes recapture the iron ore for them.
"Well, the old man also thought of this. Therefore, the old man suggested that it be the same as last time, and find other princes to send troops to fight for us. β
"Oh! It turns out that the adults want to use the strategy of driving away the tiger and devouring the wolf? β
After nodding his head in a sudden realization, he heard Liu Xie's words and guess:
"Then I don't know who Lord Fu wants to send troops? You won't let Hongnong send troops to conscript, right? β
Last time, they asked Hongnong to send troops to fight the thieves, nominally to eliminate harm for the people, but in fact, they wanted to take the opportunity to reduce Lu Bu's troops.
But after LΓΌ Bu's death, most of Hongnong's troops had been absorbed by the imperial court.
In addition, Gao Shun did not recruit troops during this time, so there is no need to let Hongnong participate in this matter.
And as far as Fu Wan knows, Huaxing and Gao Shun's personal relationship seems to be good.
If Gao Shun is sent to crusade against Huaxing, it is likely to be ineffective, so there is no Gao Shun's name among his candidates.
"Hehe, Hongnong...... Forget it this time. β
Shaking his head slightly, he saw Fu Wan and said with an unfathomable face: "If I let the old man choose, I would prefer the Northern Twin Heroes." β
"The Northern Twins? You mean...... Gongsun Chan and Yuan Shao? β
"That's right! It's the two of them. β
After nodding his head to confirm, Liu Xie said with a puzzled expression:
But the widow heard that the two of them had started a fierce battle two months earlier, and they were fighting fiercely at this time. Now we are looking for them to help us get the thief, they ...... Is it coming? β
Gongsun Zhan and Yuan Shao are the two major warlords in the north, one of them owns Youzhou and the other occupies Jizhou, and both have their own ambitions and want to annex each other.
After the dissolution of the Dong Alliance, the two returned to their hometowns one after another. While recruiting troops and horses, they are strengthening their armaments, and they are all preparing for a decisive battle in the future.
Just two months ago, Gongsun Zhan's cousin Gongsun Yue, entrusted by Gongsun Zhan, led a thousand cavalry to ally with Yuan Shu, and happened to encounter Yuan Shu and Yuan Shao fighting for Yuzhou.
Since he wanted an alliance, Gongsun Yue definitely had to show his sincerity, so he participated in this battle.
But as a result, Gongsun Yue was unfortunately killed by an arrow in the battle.
After learning of this, Gongsun Chan was furious and became angry with Yuan Shao. He immediately sent troops to Jizhou and launched a fierce battle with Yuan Shao......
"What the Holy One said is true! The two of them were indeed at war, and they were weak. This is also the reason why the old man wants them to send troops! β
Of course, I have heard about the war in the north.
He knew very well that at this moment, neither Yuan Shao nor Gongsun Zan was able to withdraw to crusade against Huaxing.
And the reason why Fu Wan suggested like this was because he thought of a clever plan to kill two birds with one stone!
But Liu Xie didn't understand what kind of medicine was sold in the finished gourd, and when he heard this, he saw him shaking his head and opening his mouth to ask:
"Because of the war...... So looking for them to send troops? What do you mean by this? Why do you get more confused the more you listen to it? β
