Liu Ji frowned, his fingers unconsciously tapped on the desk, and after thinking for a long time, he said slowly: "Zihong, according to your wishes, what should I do?" ”

Liu Yuan showed a light smile on his face and said, "Uncle don't worry so much, although my troops are a little weak, they have not yet reached the point where they cannot be saved." As long as my uncle and colleagues support me, I, Liu Zihong, will definitely be able to repel Hu Lu and return the people of Youzhou to a peaceful level. ”

"First of all, my uncle should send someone to Luoyang to report the news."

"Secondly, we should spread the news and let the people of the entire Youzhou know about it."

"Slow!" When Liu Ji heard this, he immediately interrupted Liu Yuan's words, frowned and asked, "If such a serious matter is known to the people, there will be peace in all places, and the people's hearts will be in turmoil!" ”

"Not bad."

"Reasonable."

Everyone in the hall agreed with Liu Ji's words.

"Uncle's words are wrong!" Liu Yuan said: "The people of Youzhou have been war-torn and are not so fragile! ”

"When this matter spreads, not only will it not affect the hearts of the people, but it will stimulate the people's enthusiasm and rebellion, and unite them together, so that with the strength of the millions of people in Youzhou, twisted into a rope, only then can we make great achievements!"

"Reasonable!" Zheng Xuan said: "The people of Youzhou have always been fierce, and they hate the alien Hulu to the core, and when this matter spreads, the people will actively participate in and support this war!" ”

Liu Ji thought for a moment, nodded in agreement with Liu Yuan, and motioned for him to continue.

"Third," Liu Yuan waved his finger and said, "I also hope that my uncle will gather the soldiers who can fight from all over the country and send them to Panxi to help me defend." ”

"This is not a problem," Liu Ji said: "There are more than 20,000 soldiers in Guangyang County who can fight, and all of them can be sent to Zihong's men." ”

Liu Yan also continued: "There are more than 20,000 soldiers in Zhuo County, so I immediately sent someone to let Guan Jing lead the troops to Panxi." ”

"Then I'll be on behalf of the county" Wang Rui's face was embarrassed.

"Daijun is connected to the grassland in the north, so you must be cautious and guard against Hulu, so the soldiers under Wang Taishou cannot be sent to Panxi." Liu Yuan said with a smile.

Wang Rui nodded gratefully to Liu Yuan to show his gratitude.

In fact, Wang Rui was not worried about the safety of Daijun, but Liu Yuan's Panxi incident made him vigilant, so Hu Lu can divide the army into two ways, it is difficult to ensure that there is no third way, and Daijun is at the forefront, which is indeed not safe.

"In this way, there are only 50,000 soldiers in Guangyang and Zhuojun, is it enough?"

Liu Ji asked Liu Yuandao.

"Enough!" Liu Yuan said with a smile: "With my 20,000 soldiers, Panxi has a total of 70,000 troops, that is, there are 200,000 enemies in the mist, and I am not afraid!" ”

"That's good! Haha"

Everyone smiled and breathed a sigh of relief.

At this point, the matter was discussed, and it was considered a success, Liu Yuan solved the plan in his heart, and shifted his eyes to Zheng Xuan.

Zheng Xuan also looked at Liu Yuan with interest at this time.

Liu Yuan is only twelve or thirteen years old, and he is still young, but at this time, he is calm and confident, especially when he wrote a poem just now, plus his old friend Cai Yong mentioned it, Zheng Xuan couldn't help but be more interested, thinking about whether to have a long talk with Liu Yuan all night.

Liu Yuan raised his head to meet Zheng Xuan's clear gaze, and couldn't help but say respectfully: "Zheng Gong must have traveled here, and the student just has an idea now, I don't know if I should mention it." ”

"Oh?" Zheng Xuan stroked his long beard under his chin and said with a smile: "I look at Zihong and talk quickly, why do you twist and pinch at this time?" ”

Liu Yuan smiled awkwardly, touched the back of his head innocently, and said, "The student wants to discuss with Zheng Gong, but it is about the wild man." ”

"Savages?"

Zheng Xuan was puzzled: "That savage is cruel and vicious, what is there to discuss?" ”

"Gong Zheng, a savage is a savage, naturally uncivilized, still following the essence of a beast, and it is understandable that he is cruel. I mean, Zheng Gong is interested in training these savages and naturalizing them into Han people? Liu Yuan stared at Zheng Xuan tightly like a gray wolf looking at a lamb.

"Oh?" Zheng Xuan's eyes lit up and said, "Zihong wants to educate him?" ”

"Hmm. Zheng Gong is wise. Liu Yuan nodded and said, "The students and the military advisor have long discussed to subdue this group of savages and educate them. However, there are too few Confucian students in Yuyang, and the officials who are said to be in charge are overstretched, let alone educate the savages. Seeing Zheng Gong this time, this plan is clear. ”

"Gong Zheng, that savage race is huge, I am afraid there are hundreds of thousands, if they are educated and naturalized, this merit is not as good as Confucius and Mencius, and it is not much different from Dong Zhongshu Confucian!"

When Zheng Xuan heard this, his heart was moved!

Indeed, as Liu Yuan said, educating a population, although this kind of merit is a little worse than Confucius and Meng, but it is much more awesome than Dong Zhongshu. It is said that the name will be passed down through the ages, and it should not be a problem!

However, Zheng Xuannai is a profound Confucian, and the word fame and fortune is still difficult to impress, in fact, he thinks in his own heart, but he just thinks that he should do something practical, for the world, for the people; Secondly, he is so profound and knowledgeable that he has very few opportunities to practice, and now that he has such an opportunity in front of him, it is of course better for him to verify his knowledge.

So the two of them met the fire with dry firewood and hit it off.

Liu Yuan got Zheng Xuan's help, it was like a towering lighthouse, with Zheng Xuan's reputation, hey, after the Confucian students didn't come to vote, moths to the fire?

And Zheng Xuan was very happy when Liu Yuan gave him the opportunity to educate the savages.

"I don't want me Zheng Xuanlin to be old, I still have the opportunity to spread knowledge, do this great thing of education, not in vain in this life, not in vain in this life, hahaha"

After getting Zheng Xuan, Liu Yuan rested in the Assassin's Mansion for two days, and when the soldiers of Guangyang County were assembled, he immediately took Zheng Xuan and led the troops back to Panxi.

Not to mention Liu Yuan's return to Panxi, let's talk about the news of Hu Lu's knocking, which was rushed for eight hundred miles, and finally arrived in Luoyang a few days later.

Ling Emperor Liu Hong was playing with the beauties, but when he saw Zhang Rang breaking in in shock, he couldn't help but show displeasure.

Zhang Rang didn't care much at this time, and hurriedly knelt on the ground and shouted: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty!" Eight hundred miles expedited! Youzhou 800 miles expedited! ”

"What?!" Liu Honglu stood up, pushed away the beauties around him, and drank: "What is eight hundred miles urgent, come quickly!" ”

"Your Majesty, please look!" Zhang Rang was busy, trembling, took out a table from his cuffs, and handed it to Liu Hong.

This expression is exactly what Liu Yuan wrote.

"Your Majesty, there are 150,000 Xianbei troops knocking on the side today, Yuan took over as the captain of Wuhuan for too short a time, caught off guard, lost several cities, fortunately, the response was timely, and there were hundreds of thousands of savages outside of Fuyang, ravaging Panxi, killing countless people, I personally led the army to exterminate the savages, behind the fog, the minister thinks that there must be a force to hide the thunder and strike, the minister has contacted the Taishou and the Lord of the Assassin Shi to pray that Your Majesty will not worry about being able to break the Hu Luchen Liu Zihong, worship."

After reading the above table, Emperor Ling was weak and almost fell to the ground.

"Let Father, quickly notify the ministers and convene a court meeting temporarily!"

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

Weiyang Palace, Zhengxuan Palace.

The ministers were all confused, and they didn't understand how Emperor Ling, who had never been keen on court meetings, could suddenly summon the ministers.

"Mrs. Yuan, do you know why Your Majesty is?"

A minister looked at Yuan Kui and asked respectfully.

"I don't know."

The ministers gathered in a heap in twos and threes, and while they were discussing, they heard the eunuchs shouting.

"The Son of Heaven has arrived!"

Liu Hong's thin body took a big step and waited for the dragon chair.

"Long live Your Majesty, long live, long live!"

"The Qing's family is flat."

"Do you know why I am so urgent to convene a court meeting?" Emperor Ling's majestic eyes swept over the Manchu Dynasty's civil and military affairs, and said, "Let Father, read it to them." ”

Zhang Rang bowed down to receive the order, took out Liu Yuan's top watch from his cuffs, snorted, and read it out loud.

After the ministers listened expressionlessly, the entire Jinluan Hall fell silent.

After a long time, Yuan Kui came out of the queue and said: "Your Majesty, the old minister thinks that Liu Yuan should be dismissed and investigated, so as to set an example!" ”

"Mrs. Yuan, what you say is not right!" Zhang Rang retorted: "Liu Zihong is not at fault, how can he be easily dismissed and investigated?" You're confused, aren't you? ”

Yuan Kui didn't look at Zhang Rang, and only said to Emperor Ling: "Liu Zihong even lost several cities, isn't it a fault!?" ”

"Taifu's words are wrong!" General He Jin took a step forward and said: "Since ancient times, the victory or defeat of the soldiers has nothing to do with the gains and losses of one city or one place, and it has been less than half a year since Yuyang Hou took over as the captain of Wuhuan, and Youzhou is so big, naturally it has not been arranged yet!" ”

"Not bad!" Wang Yun also came out and said: "Changing generals in battle is a taboo for soldiers, and the master is not for it!" Mrs. Yuan, you are too much! ”

Yuan Kui saw that the ministers were all speaking for Liu Yuan, and while he was depressed, he couldn't help but wonder a little.

In fact, the main reason is because of the bribery of the Central Plains Commercial Bank.

Because Yuan Kui had long been at odds with Liu Yuan, everyone in the Manchu Dynasty had a New Year tribute, but he Yuan Kui did not. What's more, Liu Yuan really didn't make a mistake, these people helped him speak. But if Liu Yuan did make a mistake, then it would be difficult to say.

Emperor Ling looked at the argument of the ministers below, and the corners of his mouth grinned, revealing a trace of mockery.

"That's it!" Emperor Ling snorted and said, "I believe in Liu Zihong, so you don't have to argue. When the war is over, if you don't win, it's not too late to convict! ”

"It is imperative that students be encouraged to do so."

"Let the Father, the will. Liu Zihong tried his best to resist foreign invaders, hoping that he would achieve better results to comfort his heart. In addition, tens of millions of copper coins were allocated and transported to Youzhou, and as for the grain and grass, they were handed over to Liu Zihong himself. ”

Emperor Ling said tens of millions of copper coins, and a trace of pain flashed on his face, but this time the war was serious, but he couldn't help but pay out of his pocket. But looking back, Liu Zihong pays a tribute of thousands of gold every year, and within a few years, he can earn it back, so he is also relieved.

This matter is over, and Emperor Ling retreats.

Luoyang Market, but I don't know who spread it, and everyone talked about it.

"I heard that the alien army is three or four hundred thousand knocking on the side, and Youzhou is in crisis!"

"Hmmm! But no, my brother-in-law's sister-in-law's sister-in-law's aunt said that the Youzhou garrison is only about 100,000, I'm afraid I can't resist it! ”

People are scrambling to spread that although they say that they are worried about the country and the people, life is the same as before. Youzhou is too far away from Luoyang, and people don't worry about victory or defeat at all. I only think that it is a big defeat in Youzhou, and the unlucky career will not be in Luoyang, I am afraid of a hair!

Rumors are rumors, and they are distorted when they are spread.

"I heard that no, the million-strong army of alien races is knocking on the side, and Youzhou has fallen!"

"Huh? Have you all hit Jizhou? ”

"What to do? Do we want to move south? ”

In the end, the more outrageous it is, it makes people of insight cry and laugh.

Cao Ying and the others were particularly concerned about this matter.

No, a few people are eating and chatting in the Hero Building.

Cao Ying picked up the chopsticks and said, "This hero building actually eats with a chopstick, it's really a novelty." ”

Several people are like this, and when Gainhan eats, he uses his hands more and less chopsticks.

"Well, there's this fork, it's also very novel, but it's still easy to use." Yuan Shao picked up the wooden fork in his hand and said with a smile.

"Brother Benchu, you say, how did the battle in Youzhou end?" Cao Ying quickly returned to the pot and enjoyed it.

"What else?" Yuan Shu said disdainfully: "Fiasco!" Hmph, Liu Zihong is in a catastrophe this time, hahaha"

"Highway is ridiculous!" Cao Ying retorted: "Don't you hear that Liu Zihong's 110,000 county soldiers defeated 50,000 Wuhuan iron cavalry last time? ”

"What Meng De said is true." Yuan Shao nodded and said: "Liu Zihong has an army of 100,000 at this time, although Hu Lu is 300,000 or 400,000, the ratio is only one to four, which is similar to the previous time; What's more, since Liu Zihong took over, the soldiers of Youzhou County will definitely train hard, and their combat power at this time is not the same! ”

"Hmph," Yuan Shu said unwillingly: "The victory or defeat is still between the two, how can you two eat inside and out, how can you be born to the enemy?" ”

"Hehehe" A trace of disdain flashed in Cao Ying's eyes, and he said with a smile: "The highway is so bad, the three of us and Liu Zihong have a small verbal feud, and it can be resolved in a few words, why does the highway have a grudge so far?" ”

Cao Ying said, but a shadow flashed in his heart, remembering that his senior sister Cai Yan already belonged, and his heart couldn't help but tremble, not even a taste.
