Chapter 161: Claiming the King (3)
At this time, Wang Xu walked out from the right side of the front, slowly walked onto the throne, looked at the throne made of pure gold, Wang Xu was full of emotion, if it was in modern times, I am afraid that I would never have dreamed that I would have today.
Everyone saluted, Wang Xu waved his hand, then sat on the throne, slipped his ass and said: "This golden seat is too hard, it is not comfortable to sit on, any of you who want to do it can come up and try it." ”
The crowd was amazed, what does this mean?
Jia Hui looked left and right, and took the lead in speaking: "Lord, no matter how hard the throne is, you have to sit, you have to sit, humblely ask the lord to be the king!" To the people! ”
As soon as the words fell, Jia Hui was about to kneel, and Sun Yu and the others also wanted to speak again, but Wang Xu waved his hand and said, "It's okay to be called the king, but is it really good to be called the king at this time?" ”
"Previously, we marched into the royal city in order to avenge the prince, if we were kings, it would really be a rebellion, and it would attract endless killings from the imperial court."
Sun Yu said: "Lord, you must be the king!" The court paid a lot of taxes, and the people were miserable, and only when the lord was called the king, would there be more favors to the people; If the lord is king, Sun Yu is willing to follow him to the death, fight on the battlefield, and pacify the Quartet! ”
"What about rebellion, I'm not afraid!"
Sun Yu's words were sharp and impassioned, this was not what Jia Hui taught him, but his heartfelt words! Since Wang Xu was exempted from taxes, since he saw the people in the royal city cheering all night, he decided that following Wang Xu would definitely save the people! As for what kind of court it is, to hell with it, you know all day long that oppressing the people is not worth your allegiance.
Wang Xu was very moved, he could also understand Sun Yu's mood, but he was a little hesitant, in history, Li Shanchang once said to Zhu Yuanzhang 'slow down the king, build a high wall, and accumulate grain' I have to say that this is a good policy, which can avoid the conquest of the imperial court.
According to Wang Xu's thoughts, the next thing he had to do was to provoke warlord struggles in various counties. The imperial court was overwhelmed and sent troops everywhere to suppress it, while he himself recuperated and hoarded food and trained his troops. That's the way to win.
However, once he became king, this policy could not be implemented, and the first thing the court wanted to exterminate was himself.
Jia Hui's eyes rolled, and he said suddenly: "Lord." We occupy the royal city, even if we don't call the king a rebellion, the court will not let us go, so we still have to take the road of self-improvement. ”
Ye Xiong came out and said, "Lord..." Wang Xu waved his hand and stopped Ye Xiong. Now everyone in the army still doesn't know that the imperial court will come to crusade at the beginning of spring next year, so it is absolutely important not to make a noise at this time, so as not to cause unnecessary panic.
Ye Xiong understood and reluctantly retreated.
At this time, Jia Hui glanced at everyone. Everyone knelt down at the same time: "I beseech the Lord to be the king, and we will wait for the Lord to determine the four directions!" ”
In the main hall, the crowd was excited, and the generals had different opinions, and they persuaded Wang Xu to be the king, but Wang Xu sighed with a sad face, he didn't want to be the king, as a traverser. He wants it more than anyone else! However, he really did not want to be the focus of the imperial court.
Yuan Shu in history is the best example, Yuan Shu is the emperor, and he is the glory of the ancestors. However, he became the target of public criticism, became the focus of Cao Cao's crusade, and in the end, he was defeated and died!
Now Jinyiwei has been inserted into various counties, as long as it is a little provoked. There will be countless anti-thieves rising, and it is not certain who the target of the imperial court will be at that time, even if you want to conquer Guxi County, the force of the conquest will be sharply reduced, and it will be much easier to deal with.
"You don't have to say any more, just step down."
Wang Xu waved his sleeves and walked out of the hall.
Ay...
Everyone sighed.
.............
Night.
Wang Xu was looking at the map in the room, and a figure flashed in.
Wang Xu raised his eyes and said, "Ye Xiong, sit down." ”
Ye Xiong stepped forward and saluted, "Lord, my subordinates have a word, don't vomit or be unhappy." ”
"Are you going to persuade me to be king?" Wang Xu said.
Ye Xiong nodded and said: "With my understanding of the imperial court, even if the lord is not the king, they will raise troops to come to crusade, so between us and the imperial court, it is destined to be an endless situation, even so, why is the lord not king?" ”
"I have my problems, too." Putting the map away, Wang Xu took a sip of tea from the teacup and said, "I was looking for you to do something for me." ”
"My lord, please command."
Wang Xu said: "Contact the Jinyi guards in various counties and counties, and let them pick up the homeless people, bandits and all those who have a grudge against the court, raise troops, and rebel!" ”
Ye Xiong said with a smile: "The lord doesn't have to be like this, there are already anti-thieves everywhere." ”
"Oh?" This was unexpectedly unexpected, I didn't expect that there would be those who dared to rebel, it seems that they were influenced by themselves, think about how many years, the homeless people have not been broken, but who dares to risk the world's disapproval, it seems that the court should really perish.
"Who are they?"
Ye Xiong was also about to report the matter, he took out a bamboo slip from his waist and said: "Hu Ling and Miao Zang of Qingyuan County, Zhu Huan of Bei County, and Huaishan thieves of Bao'an County, several forces have thousands of mercenaries each, forcibly occupy the city, and kill the court officials, and now, they are facing the suppression of the princes of the counties, thinking about it, these forces will be suppressed in a few months." ”
"Hu Ling? Zhu Huan? Wang Xu smiled dumbly and said: "A timid as a mouse, an old dragon clock, how can he be the opponent of the imperial army." ”
Ye Xiong said: "The lord doesn't know, it is reported that Hu Ling is the most powerful of these forces, he has 20,000 troops, forcibly occupied three cities in Qingyuan County, and at the same time, he is also the key target of the Qingyuan County government. ”
"Oh? This makes me impressed, think about how much time it took us to fight Zhou Yi, I am not optimistic about them. Wang Xu said.
After thinking about it, Wang Xu said: "You can't let them be killed by the magistrate like this, you notify Jinyiwei and let them do everything possible to prevent the government from sending troops, create more time for Hu Ling and others to grow, and if necessary, you can properly help Hu Ling and others, so that they can become a force that is not weak, and attract the attention of the imperial court." ”
"No." Ye Xiong responded.
After a pause, Ye Xiong said again: "What about the lord's title of king?" ”
"Do you think it's really good for me to be king at this time?"
Ye Xiong said: "My subordinates think it's very good!" First of all, you can let all the soldiers and generals have the backbone and let them know who they are fighting for, and secondly, you can also reward officials to encourage everyone to kill officials and rebel, so that everyone can see the bright future of rebellion. ”
"A bright future for the rebellion, hehe." Wang Xu smiled and continued: "You go on. ”
Ye Xiong said: "The so-called improper name is not good, just take the present as an example, the lord wants to reward the generals, but he can't do it, because the lord is just a Jingliao general of Guxi County, and there are many policies that cannot be implemented, which will make all the generals complain; As a soldier or a general on the battlefield, what they want in their hearts is to make meritorious contributions, a hard work and a harvest, with all due respect, if the general has made meritorious contributions and is not rewarded, then who wants to fight for you?
