"Uncle Huang."

Liu Xie, the son of heaven on the throne, heard Liu Yu's request and said in surprise: "Uncle Huang didn't advocate appeasing Yuan Shu before, why is he sending troops now?" ”

Liu Yu said: "Yuanshu is rebellious, you can't appease you, if you don't crusade, there will be endless disasters." ”

Liu Xie nodded, he originally supported the crusade against Yuan Shu, but later Liu Yu, Yang Biao, Dong Cheng and others opposed, and Zhang Liao did not insist, so he followed Liu Yu's suggestion, and at this time saw that Liu Yu also advocated sending troops, so he turned his head to look at Zhang Liao, and his voice was solemn: "General, please send troops to destroy Yuan Shu quickly, and use the Zheng Dynasty to outline, don't lose hope!" ”

There was no opposition from the courtiers at the bottom, at this time, several bigwigs in the court advocated sending troops, and Zhang Liao advocated sending troops early in the morning, and the Son of Heaven ordered, the general trend is like this, in their opinion, sending troops to attack Yuan Shu has become a foregone conclusion.

I didn't want Zhang Liao to open his mouth at this time and said: "Your Majesty, Taifu, it is not appropriate to send troops to attack Yuan Shu at this time. ”

All the ministers were shocked when they heard this, and they all looked at Zhang Liao, they didn't expect Zhang Liao, who had always advocated sending troops, to speak out against it, and they felt extremely strange for a while.

Taifu made a suggestion, the Son of Heaven has already ordered, what does the general want? Is this a confrontation with Liu Yu and Dong Cheng? Is it to fight against the Son of Heaven and suppress the prestige of the Son of Heaven? They couldn't help but mention it in their hearts, but they were afraid that the court, which had been stable for a long time, would set off a storm.

Dong Cheng's henchman Wu Shuo immediately said: "General, don't be rash, and hope to focus on state affairs!" ”

"Yes, we should put national affairs first."

"General, please cut Yuan Shu."

On the throne, Liu Xie also said unhappily: "The general has always advocated sending troops, why don't you send troops now, don't you want to share your worries?" ”

Zhang Liao sneered in his heart, how keen he is, Liu Yu didn't say it, Dong Cheng's gang encouraged him to immediately send troops to fight against Yuan Shu, there must be a conspiracy in it, how could he let these guys succeed, that is, to send troops, the timing and place must also be controlled by himself, no matter what he does, the rhythm and initiative must be in his own hands.

He thought in his heart, but his face was calm, and he said in a deep voice: "The minister advocates not to crusade against Yuan Shu for the time being, and there are three reasons:

First, now the timing is not right, the way of using soldiers, pay attention to one blow, with the least casualties to achieve the greatest results, Yuan Shu at the beginning of the emperor, the minister advocated sending troops, it is to defeat Yuan Shu with lightning speed, shock the state and county, in order to see the power of the court, this is called the result of the war!

Now it is different, the opportunity has been lost, Yuan Shu has been the emperor for several months, at this time to send troops to conscript, it is to extinguish, the deterrent power is not as good as before, Yuan Shu is also prepared, will only fall into a tug-of-war tired battle, in the heart of the army, the hearts of the people are not good.

The two, the husband Yuan Shu, the dry bones and ears in the tomb, know the way of the king, and the hearts of the people to the Han, with the passage of time, Yuan Shu will only weaken morale, the people will betray their relatives, and then send troops to crusade, twice the result with half the effort, and let the people of the world see the fruits of disobedience. ”

The courtiers were silent, and Liu Xie frowned and said, "Is that the case?" ”

The former general of the group of ministers, Henan Yin Cao Cao, said loudly: "The general is well versed in the art of war, and what he said is reasonable. ”

Sikong Yang Biao also said: "People's hearts are towards Han, and Yuan Shu will die!" Soldiers are not bloody, but the way to govern the country. ”

Zhang Liao continued: "Third, the situation in the northwest is not good, since the beginning of spring, Liangzhou Ma Teng, Han Sui, Qiang people gathered chaotic soldiers, ready to move, watching Guanzhong, this harm is worse than Yuan Shu, if the minister led the troops to the south to crusade against Yuan Shu, I am afraid that Ma Teng and Han Sui took the opportunity to attack the rear, break through Sanfu, coerce Luoyang, and make the court fall back into danger, so the minister wants to break Ma Han first, and then cut Yuan Shu. ”

When Liu Xie heard this, he remembered the situation of fleeing in Guanzhong in the past, and a trace of palpitation flashed in his eyes, and he said: "In this way, according to what the general said." ”

Many of the courtiers nodded, the Northwest Qiang Rebellion was a major disaster that lasted for more than a hundred years in the Later Han Dynasty, Dong Zhuo, Li Dao, and Guo Yan almost destroyed the Han Dynasty, and the court was deeply frightened by this, Zhang Liao mentioned that Ma Teng and Han Sui were more troubled than Yuan Shu, and they all agreed.

At this time, Dong Cheng's henchman Wu Shuo spoke: "Your Majesty, there are many generals in the imperial court, and the generals sent troops to Liangzhou, why not recruit troops from the former general Cao Mengde and the later general Liu Xuande to fight against Yuan Shu?" ”

Liu Xie's eyes lit up, and before he could speak, Cao Cao had already rushed to say: "The general is like a god with soldiers, and he will recover Liangzhou Yiye, and wait for the general to return victoriously, and then follow the general to crusade against Yuan Shu, and now Yuan Shu occupies the land of Sanzhou, with 200,000 troops, and Lu Bu and Sun Ce as allies, Cao Cao led the troops alone, fearing that the soldiers would be damaged and the majesty of the court would be ruined." ”

Liu Bei's expression also changed slightly, and he arched his hand: "Bei was defeated by Yuan Shu in Xuzhou, although he has the heart to serve the country, he is not enough." ”

Seeing that Cao Cao and Liu Bei were both opposed, Liu Xie's mouth moved, and a gloomy color flashed in his eyes, and he stopped talking.

Liu Yu said again: "What the general said is reasonable, but the imperial court has been slow to cut down Yuan Shu, for fear that others will follow suit, and the world will become more and more chaotic." ”

Zhang Liao's voice was powerful: "The wind knows the grass, and the board knows the honest ministers, and now I am about to see which rebels in the states and counties of the world are rebelling, and I just want to ask for them in one fell swoop, leaving loyal ministers, and the world will see Qingming." ”

"The general has a vision, and the rebel is rightly begging for it!"

Huangfu Li's voice was impassioned, and a group of courtiers immediately echoed him.

Liu Yu thought for a moment and stopped making a sound.

A trace of gloom flashed in Liu Xie's eyes, even if what Zhang Liao said was reasonable, he still felt that his prestige as the Son of Heaven had been affected, especially Cao Cao and Liu Bei also supported Zhang Liao, which made him feel extremely dissatisfied, and the incompetence of Chongji and others made him feel angry.

Wu Shuo and others saw that the general trend had gone, they were a little frustrated, they originally planned three things, one was to retire Zhang Liao to become a great Sima, and oppose the Son of Heaven, the second is to fight for the positions of Sili Captain, Chengmen Captain, and the Fifth Colonel of the Northern Army, and gradually control the military power, and the third is to let Zhang Liao send troops to fight against Yuan Shu and transfer him out of the capital.

The plan was very good, but they didn't expect Dong Cheng to be beaten suddenly, and it was difficult for them to go to court, which led to their lack of weight, and the plan to fight for those important positions came to naught.

Subsequently, in the plan to boost Zhang Liao as the great Sima, I didn't expect Zhang Liao to resolutely and decisively veto, and even resolved it in a rude and violent way, so that they stole chickens and rice, and even the urgent pioneer seed series was broken.

In the end, Zhang Liao's plan to send troops to crusade against Yuan Shu was thought to be in line with Zhang Liao's intentions and was the easiest, but he didn't expect to be unexpectedly rejected by Zhang Liao, and instead dealt with the northwest.

……

In Zhang Liao's mansion, the waiter Fujun left with a face full of shame and fear.

Watching Fu Jun leave, Zhang Liao couldn't help but sigh secretly, Fu Jun was still young after all, and he was not as demonic as Zhuge Liang and Sima Yi.

As he thought in the court, Fu Jun's book was a good intention, just thinking about making Zhang Liao bigger and having more power, and at the same time giving the queen the greatest support and the greatest deterrent to Dong Guiren, so he took the initiative to write under the encouragement of others, but he didn't expect the danger.

For Zhang Liao, this danger doesn't matter, it's a big deal, but it is fatal to Queen Fu, once the harem falls out of favor, the consequences are extremely terrible, not to mention Dong Cheng's eyes.

However, even if Zhang Liao resolved the crisis today, with Liu Xie's temperament, he must have more mustard for Queen Fu, which made Zhang Liao a little worried.

Today, Liu Yu in the court asked to send troops to crusade against Yuan Shu, Zhang Liao objected, in addition to his other plans, an important reason was that Dong Cheng wanted him to crusade against Yuan Shu, so he couldn't go, at least he had to arrange everything in Luoyang first, especially in the planning of Dong Cheng and others, Zhang Liao felt the crisis on Queen Fu's side.

After thinking about it, Zhang Liao ordered someone to call Li Ru.

The center, front, left, and right four major military divisions under his command, the middle army division Xun You sat in Guanzhong to control Liangzhou, the left army division Guo Jia sat in Zhongshan, in order to control Youji, the original right army division was renamed Changshi, served by Jia Xu, sitting in Hedong, he now only left the former military division Li Ru, and Li Ru was responsible for the intelligence brought by the Shadow Division and various affairs of Luoyang.

Li Ru was slightly weaker than the others in terms of military staff, but he was still very strong in dealing with court battles and intrigues.

Not long after, Li Ru came over, and after the ceremony, Zhang Liao solemnly instructed: "Wen You, Dong Cheng and others should have a plan recently, I am afraid that they intend to seek the rear position, and stare at Dong Cheng and his henchmen in the shadows, as well as the imperial doctor in the palace, I will lead the troops out soon, and you will stay in the Beijing Division, once you find that they have any changes, deal with them immediately, and give you the right to arbitrary, I will inform Han Hao and Zang Ba, and you can adjust the soldiers and horses of the Beijing Division in an emergency." ”

Li Ru hurriedly responded: "Only." ”

Now Han Hao is the commander of the Central Protector Army, responsible for the security of Suwei and Luoyang, and Zang Ba is the eighth lieutenant general under Zhang Liao, leading the troops to be stationed in Luoyang on all sides and eight passes, as the second line of defense.

The two discussed some recent situations, and after Li Ru left, Zhang Liao instructed Diao Chan on the side: "You have to enter the palace empty, and remind the queen to be careful, especially the diet and medicine, and you must check it carefully." ”

"Hmm." Diao Chan nodded, and said worriedly: "It's just that the queen's condition has not improved, even if Dong Cheng's thief doesn't harm him, I'm afraid he won't be able to support it for a long time." ”

Zhang Liao frowned, sighed, thought for a while, and said, "I'll repair a book, you give it to her quietly, don't let others see it!" ”

"Hmm!" Diao Chan nodded happily: "The servant will study ink for the general, and I believe that the queen will inevitably be cured of illness." ”

Zhang Liao looked at her excited appearance and was a little speechless.
