Chapter 256: My mother asked me to find a few more daughters-in-law
Liu Wei burned the secrets about Cao Cao and the official documents impeaching Cao Cao, so as to trust and respect Cao Cao. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
Cao Cao was grateful and swore an oath: "The minister will be loyal to His Majesty, and he will never give up, and after the minister, the Cao family will also be loyal to His Majesty for generations!" ”
"Haha, why should Mengde do it? I remember your loyalty clearly! Liu Wei patted his heart and returned to his seat, and motioned for Cao Cao to sit down as well.
The two sat opposite each other, and Liu Wei said: "Now that the situation in Guanzhong is calm, what is the situation with sweet potatoes now?" ”
"The sweet potatoes in the mountain forest have been cultivated, and the minister has begun to transplant them, and he ordered the generals to plant them in the field!" Cao Cao replied.
"After transplanting sweet potatoes, you only need to water them to survive, and after that, you only need to hoe the grass and turn the vines frequently to prevent the growth of aerial roots, but you don't need to take too much care, the important thing is to train the soldiers!" Liu Wei admonished.
"Listening to Your Majesty's tone, are you planning to go back to Luoyang?" Cao Cao heard the meaning of Liu Wei's words.
"Yes, the queen mother and the ministers have urged me to return to Luoyang many times!"
"It's to urge Your Majesty to marry Senior Sister Cai! His Majesty is already an adult, but he should take more concubines, and now there is only Queen Tang in the harem, and the Queen Mother is naturally anxious! Cao Cao stroked his beard and smiled.
"In the past few years, the situation was turbulent, how could I have the heart to take a concubine? Now that I have won Guanzhong, I will recuperate for a few years, and I will accept concubines, so you can rest assured! Liu Wei waved his hand and said.
"That's it! If Your Majesty doesn't make it clear as soon as possible, I'm afraid Cai Shi will ......" Cao Cao finally nodded reassuringly after listening to Liu Wei's affirmation, thinking that Cai Yong was friendly with the Wei family in Hedong, and he had the heart to marry Cai Yan to Wei Jia Wei Zhongdao, if Liu Wei dragged it out like this, Cai Yong would have to marry Cai Yan.
As the saying goes, there are three unfilial pieties, and no queen is the greatest, like the Three Kingdoms era, ordinary people can get married at the age of thirteen, and Liu Wei is already sixteen years old, although he is still a high school student in the later generations, but in the Three Kingdoms era, he has reached the age of marriage. What's more, Liu Biangui is the Son of Heaven, and the prosperity of the royal family depends on him, so in the past two years, Empress Dowager He has been anxious about this matter, urging Liu Biangui to accept a concubine, so as to open up branches and leaves for the Han Dynasty.
And close ministers like Cao Cao have long been advised by the Empress Dowager He to blow more wind in their ears. Now Cai Yan is also fifteen years old, and when he reaches the age when he should marry, the relationship between Liu Wei and Cai Yan can naturally be seen by anyone with a discerning eye. Therefore, Empress Dowager He had to go out in person and write to Liu Wei to ask him to return to Luoyang.
Liu Wei smiled bitterly in his heart, at this age in his previous life, parents were probably telling their children not to fall in love, and they didn't think that in ancient times, they were forced to marry by their mothers at this age.
"After I return to Luoyang, you will be in charge of the overall situation in Chang'an, Guanzhong, can you be confident?" After gossiping, Liu Wei said with a straight face.
"Please show me your majesty!"
"I have discussed it before, and after preparing to recuperate, I will use troops against Nanyang, this is one of them, how many soldiers and horses are there in Chang'an now?" Liu Wei asked.
"Chang'an's soldiers and horses, when the minister led more than 40,000 troops to the west, now General Gao returned to Luoyang with 10,000 cavalry, and Xue Andu 30,000 soldiers and horses surrendered, and His Majesty asked Weichen to recruit 30,000 troops in Tuntian, a total of 100,000 troops! There are also General Zilong's three thousand white horse righteous servants! Cao Cao replied after the calculation.
"100,000 troops, it's enough to attack Nanyang! By the way, I asked you to plant sweet potatoes in the fields, is there any movement over there? ”
Cao Cao said with a solemn face: "Because Your Majesty encircled the mountains and forests as hunting grounds and sent heavy soldiers to handle them, those families were also quite restless, and they inquired many times, but they never leaked out!" ”
"Well, I also have 100,000 soldiers and horses in Chang'an, of which Xue Andu led 10,000 towns to guard Hangu Pass, Yang Zaixing led 10,000 towns to guard Wuguan, and the remaining 30,000 soldiers and horses guarded the counties, and the remaining 50,000 soldiers and horses will close Tuntian as the main force to attack Nanyang in the future! Be sure to train diligently and don't slack off! Liu Wei admonished.
"Yes, Your Majesty rest assured, but I don't know who Your Majesty will send to assist Weichen!"
"I plan to leave Yang Zaixing, Zhao Yun, Xue Andu, Wang Meng, Li Ru, and Shi Adu in Chang'an, how about it?" Liu Wei said with a smile.
"Thank you, Your Majesty, I am much more relaxed when I have Jingluo in Chang'an, but Your Majesty, this Li Ru, are you sure you want to use it?"
"Don't use suspicious people, don't doubt people, I am determined to use him, I will believe it! You can rest assured! ”
"Yes!" Cao Cao nodded, but he was a little uneasy in his heart, since Liu Wei put him in Chang'an, it would be better to keep an eye on him more.
A few days later, Liu Wei planned to leave Chang'an, rushed back to Luoyang, before leaving, Liu Wei left a holy decree, there is more than Sili territory is too large, the mountain road is rugged, not conducive to management, it is divided into two, Luoyang within the scope of Hedong, Hanoi, Henan, Hongnong four counties of Sizhou, Chang'an within the scope of Jing Zhaoyin, left Fufeng, right Feng Xu and other places divided into Yongzhou.
With Anxi general Cao Cao as the history of Yongzhou assassination, added the title of Guan Neihou, Wang Meng punished Dong Zhuo for meritorious service, appointed him as Yongzhou don't drive, Xue Andu surrendered to Cheng meritorious, named a partial general, led 10,000 towns to guard the letter Guguan, Zhao Yun and Yang Zaixing have not been knighted for the time being, but let Yang Zaixing lead 10,000 towns to guard Wuguan, Zhao Yun led 3,000 white horses from the garrison Chang'an!
And Li Ru's identity was not seen after all, so he just asked him to set up Jinyiwei in Chang'an, and develop Jinyiwei forces in the direction of Xiliang, Nanyang and Guanzhong, and Shi A stayed to assist him.
Under the protection of Yang Yansi and Yang Miaozhen, Liu Wei took Guo Jia, Xun Yu and five hundred elite guards of the Imperial Forest Army, and in the breeze, bid farewell to the ministers who were sent ten miles out of the city, and went east to Luoyang.
The group walked only dozens of miles, and saw more than a dozen refugees lying on the official roads on both sides of the front.
"Your Majesty, there are refugees blocking the road ahead!" A Royal Forest Army soldier Pegasus rushed to report to Liu Bian.
"Refugees, that's weird!" Xun Yu stroked his beard, his eyes full of doubts.
If it was two months ago, this kind of refugees could be seen everywhere, but now it has been more than two months since Dong Zhuo was exterminated, Liu Wei has brought a large number of talents, mobilized a large amount of grain from Bingzhou to help the people, and resettled the homeless.
At this time, the people of Guanzhong should be busy farming with the help of the government, and as for the refugees who cannot survive, they should also receive financial support from the government in the city. It's been more than a month now, how can there be refugees in Guanzhong except for the county seat?
"Give them some food and let them go to Chang'an, there is a place for the imperial court to receive help!" Xun Yu said cautiously.
"I'm going to see for myself!" Liu Wei suspected that it was the assassination of the family, but he was worried that Chang'an had not yet calmed down and the government's work for the people was not yet in place, so he personally rode his horse forward.
"Quick, protect Your Majesty!" Xun Yu has been dealing with political affairs during this time, so he naturally knows that there are no refugees in these realms at the moment, and they can only be assassins, so he hurriedly ordered the soldiers to step forward to protect Liu Wei.
Liu Wei urged him to step forward, only to see that in front of the road, there were more than a dozen people dressed in ragged clothes, as soon as he saw these people, Liu Wei already had a plan in his heart, ordinary refugees, all of them were yellow-faced and thin, and when they saw the army, they would definitely not be able to avoid them, but these people, although they were dressed in tatters, they were all strong, and they were people who practiced martial arts at a glance.
Liu Wei sneered in his heart: "I don't want to trouble you, but you take advantage of my kindness to murder me in turn!" Then let you try if my Heavenly Sword is not sharp! ”
Liu Wei turned over and dismounted, holding the Yitian Sword at his waist, and walked towards the group of refugees in front of him. (To be continued.) )
