Chapter Ninety-Eight: Serving as the Taishou Cai Ji Comes to Vote
Li Ru was shocked: "I didn't expect that the lord had already prepared now. Pen ~ fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info just don't know who the eldest brother is that the lord said? ”
Liu Shidao: "Liu, Guan, and Zhang of the Three Heroes Battle Lu Bu, have you ever heard of Wen You?" ”
Li Ru paused for a moment and said: "I have heard of these three people, and the arrogant Lu Bu was defeated by the three of them, which greatly dampened Prime Minister Dong Cheng's confidence. Only then did he spread out of Luoyang and went to Chang'an. After a pause, Li Ru asked rhetorically: "Could it be that this Xuande Gong of Liu, Guan, and Zhang Zhong is the eldest brother of the lord?" ”
Liu Shidao: "Exactly. ”
Li Ru suddenly said: "It turns out that this Xuande Gong is actually the main prince's avenue!" When I followed Mrs. Dong, I heard Mrs. Dong say that Liu, Guan, and Zhang had saved Mrs. Dong's life. It was only when he heard that the eldest brother of the three was a disciple of Dr. Lu, Master Lu, that he gave him a look and did not take him in. Later, I heard that I went to Youzhou with Gongsun Zhan, and there was no news after that. It turned out that I went to do the plain phase. ”
Then he asked: "How does the lord plan to cooperate with your eldest brother?" ”
Liu Shidao: "The Son of Heaven is in the court, so naturally he can't do rebellious things. But now that the princes are in turmoil, we can't tie our hands. If the eldest brother takes advantage of the situation and makes a difference. I intend to echo with my eldest brother without disobeying the court in order to protect myself. ”
Li Ru pondered for a while and said, "It's just that this business is still too small. If you can according to Chang'an Yin, wait for the time to move. Maybe there will be a chance to do that Yin and Huo's thing. Famous. ”
Liu Shidao: "I don't dare to think about Yin and Huo, but I hope that one day I can clear the monarch's side and be on the throne." Returning to the government, it doesn't matter if I eat for the rest of my life. It's a pity that this dream will not come true! ”
Li Ru said: "As long as the lord has this idea, Confucianism should work hard for the lord." I will go to Chang'an to do activities and seek this position for the Lord. How is it? ”
Liu Shixi said: "Wenyou has a way? ”
Li Ru said: "The plan is in the people, and the success is in the sky." I have a certain friendship with Li Xuan and Guo Yan, and there is still hope for me to get a position for the main public, but this Chang'an Yin is extremely important, I am afraid that although this Li Xuan and Guo Yan are martial artists, I am afraid that they will also be careful. I can only do my best. ”
Liu Shixi said: "That Wenyou should pay attention to safety. The property in Chang'an City, the dark line personnel, are all used by Wen You. I will explain to Cheng Wu and ask him to cooperate with you. ”
Li Ru said: "Thank you, lord! ”
The Chang'an Rebellion led to an influx of tens of thousands of people into Shang, and many more fled into Hanzhong. In the face of these tens of thousands of chaotic people, Liu Shi had no choice but to open a warehouse to release grain and cook porridge every day for him to spend the day. In addition to some of them went to Nanyang and Jingzhou, some of them stayed. Liu Shi ordered people to choose land for them to open up wasteland and build sheds to live in. Put the strong ones in the military cantonment. He doesn't worry about these people, and they won't be in trouble under poverty.
On this day, Shi Jian sent someone to send a secret letter, "Yuan Shu formed an alliance with Tao Qian because of his discord with Liu Biao, and led an army to attack Cao Cao. As a result, Cao Cao drove him to Huaiyang. I heard that Yuan Shu killed Chen Wen, the assassin of Yangzhou, and then appointed himself as the assassin of Yangzhou. After Liu Shi heard this, his heart moved. Immediately secretly went to the Hou Mansion to meet Li Ru.
This Li Ru went to Chang'an to see Li Xuan and Guo Yan, and sought the position of Chang'an Yin for Liu Shi, but was rejected by Li Xun and Guo Yan. The reason is that now this Chang'an Yin is in the hands of the Qing faction, and Li Xun doesn't want to snatch it from the Qing faction. At the same time, he was also worried that there would be trouble with Chang'an Yin, a person from the Liu clan, and promised that he could handle it in any county except Sanfu, and even recommended Liu Shi to go to Yuzhang County. However, this Yuzhang has been watched by Liu Biao, and now Taishou Zhoushu has been appointed as Yuzhang Taishou for many years, and he has a lot of prestige in the local area. Even Liu Biao didn't dare to move lightly. Can he, Liu Shi, risk the world's condemnation?
Liu Shi saw Li Ru and immediately said: "Nanyang Taishou Yuan Shu went east, and killed Yangzhou Assassin Shi has appointed his own position, Nanyang Taishou is vacant, I don't know why Wen You sued me for this?" ”
Li Ru pondered for a moment and said: "Nanyang County, its vast and rich land is not as rich as a state. It's just that Yuan Shu is incompetent, does not do business, only knows how to kidnap the people, forcibly conscripts military service, and increases commercial taxes without authorization, so that the people flee one after another, and Nanyang is desolate. If the lord can seize this opportunity, obtain the position of Nanyang Taishou, and manage it properly, he will be able to achieve a prince in the current troubled times. Wait and see the changes in the situation, a soldier out of Chang'an, a soldier out of Yingchuan, when you can participate in the world hegemony. ”
Liu Shi shook his head and said: "I, Liu Shi, am a descendant of the Han family, and I have the grace of the first emperor to restore my ancestral title, I should not think about it, but I am in troubled times, and I should have the power to protect myself." Once the Son of Heaven has an edict, I should do my best to sweep away the troubled times, clean up the haze, and reshape the Han family. As a week-old character, it is also very satisfying to be able to leave a name in history. ”
Li Ru sighed: "It's rare for the lord to have such great ambitions, be less greedy, and know how to be measured. I can't wait! ”
Then he said: "I should be eighty percent sure of this persuasion, but I still need some gift money." ”
Liu Shi was overjoyed: "In this way, it is all thanks to Wenyou, I have been in Lantian for a few years, and I have also obtained some beautiful jade." Ask a good craftsman to cut a few small objects, and think that you can get your hands on it, and you can take it with Wenyou. If you need money, you can withdraw it from the house. ”
Li Ru said: "This is more certain, don't hesitate to do it, do it today." Then let Su Shuang and Li Ru go together.
Three days later, the quick horse reported that the matter had been completed, and Li Ru also won the post of General Annan for his son, and the emperor's appointment letter had come down. There are two more things, please decide with Childe.
One is: After Lord Huangfu Song knew that Gongzi had obtained the position of Nanyang Taishou, he asked his nephew Huangfu Li to come to Gongzi and ask Gongzi if he was willing to accept it.
Another thing is that Lord Huangfu said that he accepted the entrustment of his old friend Cai Yong to take care of Cai Yan. said that he is now old, and he wants to entrust Lord Cai Yong's only daughter to his son to take care of him, and return him to his hometown after the court situation is stable.
Liu Shi sent a letter to ask Su Shuang to do all the same, and after thinking for a while, he added. Q: Can Huangfu Li be appointed to the post of Shangluo County Commander? If you agree, you can act immediately and seek it, so as to be justified. Immediately summoned Liu Qiang, the head of the Hou Mansion's guards, and asked him to quickly recruit caravan guards, the more the better, and told him that he had obtained the position of Nanyang Taishou, and it would be up to him to see if he could successfully take office.
He also informed Shi Jian to start the detailed work in Nanyang, Jingzhou, and Yuzhou as soon as possible, find out the situation, and prepare to enter Nanyang, and it is best to have a small number of elites sneak into Wancheng. Let Dian Wei and Gao Shun expand the army by 20,000 and go to Wuguan to prepare to enter Nanyang.
The arrangement had been decided, and Liu Shi let out a long breath.
Then I went to the other courtyard and soaked in a beautiful hot spring, if it wasn't for the troubled times, I actually liked this kind of leisurely life.
Just after the arrangements were made, Liu Shi received a report that Peng Tuo, who was out, had returned.
Liu Shi was overjoyed. After Peng Tuo entered the Hou Mansion, Liu Shi prepared some potions for him, taught him the Five Bird Opera, and eliminated all the internal injuries left by his previous martial arts practice.
In the past, he could compete with Liu Shi with no more than 100 moves, but now he can hold on to 200 moves and be undefeated.
However, Peng Tuo was reluctant to be an official for the time being, and Liu Shi had no choice but to arrange for him to enter the Hou Mansion and assist Su Shuang in managing the caravan guards of the Hou Mansion.
I haven't seen you for a long time, Liu Shi has a martial arts competition. As a martial artist, Peng Tuo is not very old, and he is also eager to try.
After a fierce battle, both of them were sweating profusely.
After resting for a while, Liu Shi proposed that the two of them go to the soup spring together. "Zizhen! Your skills have improved again. ”
"Many of the main decoctions and exercises. Not only did he keep his internal injuries intact, but his strength was also improved in practicing the Five Fowl Drama every day. ”
Liu Shidao: "Zizhen! I know that you have an opinion about the government and do not want to be an official. But this time, I got the position of Nanyang Taishou, and I am afraid that I will not be able to enter Nanyang smoothly. I heard that many court officials were assassinated by local officials. This Nanyang was originally Liu Biao's territory, and was later occupied by Yuan Shu. For Yuan Shu, Liu Biao may be helpless. But for me, Liu Biao won't be that good. Originally, Liu Biao also recommended a Taishou in the last book, but I got it first, and it was only a day late. Now Liu Biao may not have gotten the news. But I believe that in two days, he will definitely get it. After that, no one can say what happened to this Nanyang. Liu Biao, as a person of the Eight Horses, attaches great importance to his reputation and will not openly oppose me. But there will definitely be a lot of trouble, and it will even be uncertain to instigate Yuan Shu to retake it. I want you to help me this time. After Nanyang is settled, if you don't want to continue to be an official, you can go back to the house to be the head of the palace. What do you think? ”
Peng Tuo was silent for a while, and said: "The lord needs to take it off, and he can't refuse it." I am willing to die for the Lord. ”
Liu Shi was overjoyed: "I know Zizhen's bravery, your courage is not much different from Dian Wei now, but there is still a little bit of momentum in this sword technique." If he can form a sword momentum, he will be almost the same as the evil one, and it is not impossible to even surpass him. But the momentum of evil is also forming. Once formed, it will be difficult for the two of you to determine who is higher and who is lower. However, this momentum must be formed in the fight. In this way, there will not be too many people in the world who can surpass you. ”
Peng Tuo exclaimed: "No wonder after fighting with the lord for a hundred rounds, the lord naturally has a compelling momentum, which makes people feel a little suffocated, affecting the speed and strength of my sword technique." ”
Liu Shi nodded: "I didn't know how it was at first, but I just practiced the key to marksmanship." There is a domineering spirit that dominates the world in his heart, and he suppresses it with the power of no return. to be able to use the last few tricks. And the longer the fight, the heavier the domineering, and in the end I found it difficult to control myself. Therefore, often after a hundred moves, you will be affected, and it will get deeper and deeper, but fortunately, these five fowl dramas can calm my mood. Therefore, I think that if you want to progress, you must form a momentum, a sword posture, or a halberd momentum. ”
Peng Tuo said: "Thank you for your advice!" As he was talking, the servant came in and reported: "Steward Su returned home, accompanied by more than a dozen carriages. Liu Shi hurried back to the Hou Mansion.
