Chapter Twenty-Three: The army is ready to go, and the princes are ready to attack
Fighting or not lies in the timing, the so-called time, place and people, all of which are indispensable. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info heard that the first emperor died, Liu Xuewu ordered all the direct government to be the first emperor Dai Xiao, in fact, to put it bluntly, Liu Xuewu is also very sad, his biggest backer fell, and really feel the first emperor's uncle love for him, now Kyoto is in turmoil, not that he does not enter Beijing to save the driver, but he is afraid, he is afraid of Dong Zhuo, afraid of those princes who are faintly waiting to happen, and is afraid that he will change the historical trend of the development of the late Han Dynasty too early, so that he can not budget the changes that will occur in the future.
That's right, he is tough on the outside, but he is actually very cowardly on the inside, don't look at the previous several times Xianbei, in fact, if it wasn't for the sake of survival, he would be willing to go out and work hard. This is also why his inner family cultivation has been stuck in the second-rate, but he is also blessed by cause and effect, because he has this heart disease that is afraid of death, so he is not only ruthless to others, but he is also ruthless to himself, which is why he has practiced this strong horizontal kung fu.
In the years from the Yellow Turban to Dong Chao, he devoted all his energy to the comprehensive reform and governance of Yanmen and even Bingzhou, Liu Xuewu's reputation in Bingzhou was like that of the emperor, and even some people only knew Liu Houye but did not know that there was an emperor. Liu Xuewu is also happy to be the emperor of a soil, not long ago he got a tiger general Xu Huang from Pingyang, it turned out that Xu Huang was a small official in Hedong County when he was young, and was promoted to the captain of the cavalry because of the meritorious service of Yang Feng, the general of the cavalry cavalry. Not long ago, when he returned to his hometown and province, Liu Xuewu learned that he hurriedly went to visit, and finally fooled the future Cao Cao's five good generals back.
Knowing that Xu Huang is very strict in governing the army, so the newly obtained old army of Bingzhou is concentrated, and young and strong men are selected to form the Bingzhou Iron Army, because of the wearing of Liu Xuewu's design of the yellow plaster color armor like a leopard print, so it is called the Bingzhou Iron Leopard Army, of course, in order to avoid the loss of talents, Liu Xuewu also set up a Zhaoxian Pavilion in various counties, martial arts fighting platforms, and recruited warriors and talents.
Having crossed over from later generations, he was well aware of various military theories and philosophical theories. With the core of not having more soldiers than refinement, he took over the annexation of the state and got more than 100,000 soldiers, he did not hesitate to carry out disarmament, and cut half of it in one breath, leaving only the 20,000 Bingzhou Iron Cavalry that Lu Bu did not take away to Zhang Liao, and the 50,000 Bingzhou Iron Leopard Army that Xu Huang selected from the Bingzhou defenders.
In order not to let the laid-off soldiers have no livelihood and lead to turmoil in the state, he selected 20,000 loyal and trustworthy soldiers from the laid off defenders to form the first police force of the Han Dynasty, thus replacing the industry of arresting fast in the Han Dynasty. The rest was distributed to his various factories, ironsmithing, smelting, carpentry, construction work, and so on.
In the following days, in addition to military training, I spent my spare time with my wife. Since marrying Cai Wenji, Liu Xuewu will squeeze out a little time to accompany his wife every day and strive to be a good husband. Of course, there are also elements of our Liu Sanye who want to be lazy, and the current situation in Bingzhou has gradually stabilized, and the development plan is until Duan Fei returns from Yizhou, Liu Xuewu simply became a shopkeeper. Poor Duan Fei could only scold bitterly, which life did he owe Liu Sanye a debt, and he worked for him in this life and this life, of course, complaining is complaining, our Duan Fei Duan is very conscientious,
Concentrate the henchmen under his hands to guide the direction of development, and then let the local leaders of all parties from time to time, such as the county commander and the county lieutenant, inspect each other, make up for each other's strengths, and take what they need.
After learning the news of Cao Cao's escape from Kyoto, Liu Xuewu ordered Xu Huang to take 20,000 Bingzhou Iron Leopard Army to garrison the border around Xiliang Zhili, on the one hand, to recall Zhang Liao to his side, and on the other hand, he constantly sent people to investigate the movements of all parties.
At this time, in the meeting hall of Liu's Mansion in Bingzhou, Liu Xuewu kept listening to the news of all parties reported by his subordinates, and Zhang Liao, who was accompanying him, suddenly had a sense of urgency that the mountain rain was about to come and the wind was full of buildings.
Liu Xuewu, who was listening to the report with a serious expression, didn't know what he heard, and suddenly scolded with a smile: "After waiting for more than three months, this bastard Cao Cao has finally made a move." ”
Zhang Liao asked puzzledly: "Xuewu, this Cao Cao has escaped from Kyoto for three months, you are so worried, now that he has arrived safely in Chenliu, can we relax." ”
"Go, Cao Cao, this big man, why are I worried about him for no reason if I have nothing to do with him. As for relaxation, that's quite the opposite, we have to be more focused. Liu Xuewu said seriously.
"Why is this, since I am not familiar with Cao Cao, is it?" Suddenly, Zhang Liao thought of something.
"Maybe you've already thought of it, since Cao Cao rushed to assassinate Dong Zhuo, then his courage is not small, I guessed well, it is estimated that he is recruiting troops at this moment, and I am thinking that he is about to take action soon." Liu Xuewu pretended to be forced and said.
"Then we don't sell horses and weapons to him, we can make a lot of money." The fourth of the four sisters who were originally sitting on a plate of accounts and books, that is, the Yihua who had collided with Yuan Shu in Kyoto, heard that Cao Cao was going to recruit troops and buy horses, and instantly smelled the business opportunity, and was so happy that he got carried away and shouted loudly.
provoked everyone in the hall to look back at her, looking at the eyes of everyone, the pungent and brutal ritual painting was not willing to lose morale, and said to everyone angrily: "You men don't know that the family is expensive, and your entire revenue and expenditure in the state are supported by a few of our sisters, is it easy for the old lady to grab some money?" I. ”
After speaking, he didn't forget to squeeze out a few tears, looking at this pitiful appearance, the hall burst into laughter.
I don't know it.,It's estimated that I was deceived by this little girl.,These tears are trained since childhood.,Cry anytime and anywhere.,One of the compulsory courses for women from the teaching background.,And our Yihua girl graduated with a full score.。 In fact, it's no wonder that she is so obsessed with money, because Liu Xuewu is indirectly involved in the state for a while, and there are many talents around him, and the amount of money and grain transactions is huge, so he must arrange for his confidants and cronies to be in charge, so the four sisters of the Yi family became Liu Xuewu's financial managers. Of course, there is a division of labor, and the ritual painting is responsible
Military horses and weapons are sold to the outside world, not for anything else, because this girl's talent for acting is really good, and her personality is extremely rude, and she is particularly ruthless to customers. I also like to paint plum blossoms, and others gave a bandit number "Four Sisters of the Blood Plum Blossom Instrument", with this title, all the merchants who bought horses and bought ordnance in Shangzhou were bitter and hated.
Liu Xuewu shook his head and really couldn't do anything about this girl, so he coughed a few times and said to everyone: "Mo Li, crazy girl, let's continue to talk about business." ”
Only then did everyone turn their attention back to the question just now.
"Master Hou, in this way, this Cao Cao is going to rebel." A staff member dressed as a Confucian next to him said.
"Hehe, Cao Cao can be called a hero, how could he let the bad reputation of rebellion take it on himself, if my prediction is good, he will call on all princes to join forces to attack Dong in the name of the Qing monarch." Liu Xuewu pretended to be in the middle of a strategy and said lightly.
Duan Fei scratched his head on the side and spoke: "The princes of the world are not stupid, will anyone be used as a gun by him." ”
Liu Xuewu said with a strange smile: "Since everyone doesn't believe it, then let's wait and see, Yiqin Yishu prepares more military horses and ordnance, and it is best to take out the siege ladder and siege crash car that I ordered to build in advance, this time we will not be rich." ”
"Yes, Third Young Master." The two agreed in unison.
The trend of history has not changed much because of Liu Xuewu's butterfly, after Cao Cao arrived in Chenliu, he "scattered his wealth and joined the righteous soldiers", and first advocated that the volunteers call on the heroes of the world to crusade against Dong Zhuo.
Now it will be lively, it can be said that the world is rising, and the heroes are coming. The princes of all parties responded one after another, and each prepared military horses to join Cao Mengde.
Of course, our third master also received invitations, not only him, but even his father Liu Yan and various Han clan relatives also received invitations. However, at this time, Liu Xuewu was busy dealing with the messengers sent by the princes and bigwigs, I don't know if it was a coincidence or an early unified caliber, all of which were called the rise and fall of the Han Dynasty. Of course, Liu Xuewu will definitely not do a loss-making business for nothing.
All said to the outside world that due to overwork, Liu Xuewu was sick in bed, and it was inconvenient to see guests, so he stopped all the messengers outside the gate, and if he wanted to buy ordnance and horses, he was responsible for the blood plum blossom Yi Siniang. The angry princes of the world are scolding Liu Xuewu for being treacherous, greedy for money and disloyal.
For the intrigue of the princes' alliance, Liu Xuewu was reluctant to participate, and even if he went, he would be hemorrhaged by all kinds of righteous words, so Liu Xuewu stayed at home and listened to his subordinates report on the current affairs of the world. Of course, he remembered that when the eighteen princes in history attacked Dong, his father didn't go because he was killed by Zhang Lu, but it doesn't mean that he is alive now, so Liu Xuewu sent a letter to Liu Yan, strongly recommending him to participate, and even proposed that he could make friends with various forces to improve the prestige of his family, and explained that he had other plans, or took advantage of Dong Zhuo's battle against the heroes, sent troops to Liaodong Zhili, and the two-pronged world can be determined, and then said some common words about missing his parents and brothers.
Liu Yan, who was far away in Yizhou, received Cao Cao's invitation, and was also ready to move, and now after receiving Liu Xuewu's letter, he decided to send troops. Because he was afraid that after he went out, Yizhou would be unstable, and now Xiao Liu Zhang asked for war again, learning from the last time Xiao Liu Zhang pacified Zhang Lu's rebellion, he thought about it and decided to let Xiao Liu Zhang take the veteran Yan Yan and Gan Ning and the 50,000 Yizhou army to set off.
Now it's a lot of fun, originally Liu Yan and Liu Xuewu are famous all over the world, one is stable in Yizhou, the other is in the north, the two are the same one after the other, and the princes of all parties are afraid. Because Liu Xuewu and Liu Yan have focused on the development of people's livelihood over the years, they have not even participated in the Yellow Turban Rebellion, and the only thing that can be done is that Xiao Liu Zhang exterminated Zhang Lu and others, but Zhang Lu is unknown, and everyone thinks that he is a little thief at most, Liu Yan deliberately exaggerated it in order to seek a future for his youngest son, so everyone disagrees, but now what everyone usually ignores is not a sound, a blockbuster, and a shot is 50,000 Yizhou Army.
