Chapter 427: An Appointment with Zhang Fei
Liu Qi's question was actually very irrational, because if Xun Yu explicitly objected, it would directly cause a contradiction with Jia Xu, but Liu Qi saw that Xun Yu, who had always been loyal to the Han family, was calm and a little abnormal, so he couldn't help but say something tentative.
But hearing Xun Yu slowly arched his hand and said: "Lord, I can't hide it, for Cao Gong's intention to move the capital, it is the three of us who made a conclusion after some discussion, among which Weichen considered the wisdom and resourcefulness of Cheng Zhongde's construction, and finally decided that Cao Cao would definitely move the capital, and for the fact that Cao Gong did not move the capital to the lord, it was also the common idea of Weichen and Jia Xiangguo and Pang Fujiao, because I know that the lord is loyal to the royal family and respects the Son of Heaven, if you know this, will definitely lead the army to attack Yique Pass and Hangu Pass at any cost, so that although the main guild will quickly take Luoyang because of this, and the huge disadvantage brought by the establishment of the Son of Heaven to the lord will gradually appear, the lord has worked hard for the Han family for more than ten years, and has not obtained the benefits of welcoming the Son of Heaven for a day, but will immediately fall into a dilemma, even in the heart of Weichen, it is unbearable. β
"But whatever? You are all Hanchen, back then you endured humiliation for the Son of Heaven, first persuaded Cao Cao to welcome the Son of Heaven, and then stopped Cao Cao when he became the prince, like Wen Ruo's behavior, all the Hanchen in the world respected, how can you put forward such a thing that you can't save when you see death? Liu Qi thought that Xun Yu had become cowardly and timid because of the rejection of his advice to Cao Cao and then his derogation, and he had risen up to welcome the Lord, and his eyes couldn't help but be a little sarcastic, and his words were a little unpolite.
But I didn't expect Xun Yu's face to be unhappy, and said lightly: "The lord's words are really a little prejudiced against Weichen, because Weichen's allegiance is only to the Han family, only the Han family, not a specific king and an emperor, if it is really like what the lord thinks." I'm afraid that Weichen should have done his best when the young emperor was abolished by Dong Zhuo, where is the current Xun Yu? And it was precisely because of his loyalty to the Han family that Weichen would leave Yuan Shao and defect to Cao Cao, and persuaded him to welcome the Son of Heaven, thinking that this would make the Han family a little peaceful. It can also establish a political advantage for Cao Cao, and at the same time it can also trap Cao Cao, so that he has no hope of becoming emperor for the rest of his life, and slightly prolong the Han dynasty, which is actually a clever plan to kill three birds with one stone. β
Xun Yu sighed, and continued: "But I didn't expect the lord to suddenly rise up and occupy half of the southern part of the country with Jingzhou, which is self-protecting, so that the revival of the Han family is hopeful, but Cao Cao made an incomprehensible move. Not half of the great cause is completed, not to mention continuing to maintain humility, recruiting talents from all over the world, and taking the restoration of the Han family as a call, uniting Liu Bei and others to deal with the lord and you, but he can't curb the swelling selfish desires, and he wants to be the public, but he can't hide it. In fact, Weichen was not preventing him from becoming a prince at the beginning, but reminding him that he should not have done so early. You shouldn't be a bird, just imagine. If he takes the lead in claiming the title of Duke and breaks the tradition of 'no one with the surname Liu can be called the king and the duke', he will not only open a routine for careerists in the world, but also expose his ambitions, and completely put the civil and military officials loyal to the Han family on the opposite side. β
Xun Yu's voice just fell. Seeing Pang Tong, who had been silent on the side, arched his hand and said: "Mr. Wen Ruo's far-sightedness is really admirable, but it's a pity that this Cao Cao still can't curb his desire for power, or he may also know Mr.'s original intentions, so he is particularly sensitive to Mr.'s practice of preventing him from becoming a prince." Then he used the excuse to alienate and depose the gentleman. β
Xun Yu nodded in agreement, and then sighed: "Why didn't Pang Servant shoot what he said? β
Then he bowed to Liu Qi and said: "Since then, Weichen has been depressed in his heart, and he only thinks about being loyal to the battlefield and dying, but he didn't expect to be captured by the lord, and Weichen naturally knows that the lord is another hope for the revival of the Han family, but at that time, he had no intention of doing anything in the world. Weichen thought to himself that it was the original plan to welcome the Son of Heaven and lead the world to have such a national thief, and thought that with the strength of the lord, sooner or later he would definitely break through the Cao family. He also wrote a letter to his nephew Gongda and asked him to help. After Cao Cao killed the queen and killed the prince, the world did not tolerate it, so Weichen decided to submit to the lord and help the lord sweep away the traitors and revitalize the Han family. β
Liu Qi had gradually understood Xun Yu's approach at this time, and the dissatisfaction in his heart gradually disappeared, and then sighed softly: "Wen Ruo did these things for the Han family, this king will never dare to forget, Wen Ruo is worried about the world, and he is really a model for my generation. β
After finishing speaking, Liu Qi gave Xun Yu a deep salute, which was very sincere, but Xun Yu was so panicked that Xun Yu was not polite, and blamed himself again and again: "Yu is unladylike and serves the national thief, how can he be such a great gift to the lord?" Don't be like this, the ministers are terrified. Please believe that although the micro-minister is dull, but also know that when today's son is powerless to subdue the world, fortunately the lord is the Han family relatives, revitalize the Han family, we-chen believes that the ancestor Guangwu industry is not far away, we-chen will say this and Jia Xiangguo, Pang Fu shot, the two adults and Wechen also see the same, so the ministers and others risk death to admonish, for the revival of the Han family, for the stability of the people in the world, do not welcome the Son of Heaven, so that although the Son of Heaven is trapped in Yecheng, the day when he sees the revival of the Han family in the future, he will also be gratified. β
After Xun Yu finished speaking, Jia Xu and Pang Tong immediately bowed in unison, and said in a deep voice: "Please take the foundation of your ancestors as the most important, bravely shoulder the heavy burden, and strive for the revival of the Han family, don't disappoint your ancestors and all the people in the world." β
Liu Qi heard the words of the three of them, what else could he say? Gently helped them up, and said solemnly: "Princes, please get up, this king is expected by the world, how dare you disobey your fate?" Alas, I thought that the unification of the world would not be far away, but I didn't expect that there would be such twists and turns, and it seems that it will be difficult to realize the ambition in three or five years. β
After finishing speaking, Liu Qi sighed again and again, and Xun Yu and the three of them were all silent.
After a while, I heard Jia Xu say: "Lord, although Hebei is urgent and difficult to peace, but Cao Cao escapes north, Yanzhou must be empty, the lord can concentrate his forces, take advantage of the void, first take Yanzhou, occupy the land of Henan, and then confront Cao Cao according to the river, once the preparation is sufficient in the future, cross the river to the north, you can take the world." β
Liu Qi was deeply surprised, nodded heavily, and heard Pang Tong step forward and said: "Lord, Weichen and Jia Xiangguo, Pei Shangshuling, Xunzhong Shuling, Wang Servant and others have discussed before, Xiangyang is narrow, the palace is simple, and it is no longer suitable as the main government, once our army takes Luoyang, they will write to the lord together, asking to move to Luoyang, today it happens that the emperor was held hostage by Cao Cao to Yecheng, the king is abolished, it can be used by the lord, and the ministers and others ask the lord to move the government to Luoyang, so that they can dominate the Central Plains, It can also facilitate the use of troops in the north, not to mention that Luoyang is the old capital of the Han Dynasty, the place where the king gathers, the king of Ping moved eastward, and the prosperity of Guangwu Zhongxing, all began here, and there are ready-made palaces, which is a good omen for inheriting the foundation of the Han family. β
Liu Qi raised his head, saw that Jia Xu and Xun Yu both nodded, and after a little thought, he agreed, and then said: "That is the case, then the king agreed to move the ruling office to Luoyang within three months, and guard the Luoyang palace on behalf of the Son of Heaven, but since it is the town guard, it is natural that we can only do our duty as a courtier, we are just the three princes' mansions living in the South Palace, and the main hall of the North Palace where the Son of Heaven lives is sealed first, and special personnel are sent to clean it regularly." β
Jia Xu and others saw Liu Qi like this, and they could only stop, after all, the Son of Heaven had just been robbed to the north, if he lived in the Heavenly Palace as soon as he came up, it would affect Liu Qi's reputation in the world, although the loss of this reputation was very small for Liu Qi, who was in the middle of his career, but Liu Qi, who has always been clean and self-conscious, would rather suffer some grievances than be accused by some old antiques with the idea of loyalty, after all, the world is not peaceful now, and he still needs to unite these Taoists and use them to lead the direction of public opinion criticism to Cao Cao.
After some discussion, it was decided that LΓΌ Meng, Meng Huo, Shamoke and other generals would lead the headquarters of 50,000 soldiers and horses, and then draw 20,000 people from Zhou Yu's Hangu Pass guards to form an army of 70,000, with LΓΌ Meng as the main general, Meng Huo and Shamoke as the deputy generals, take the Tiger Prison Pass from Luoyang East, and attack Chen Liu with Zhao Yun, and then seize Liangguo, Peiguo, Jiyin, Shanyang, Rencheng, Lujun, Taishan and other places in turn, take advantage of Cao Cao's defense in the Central Plains, seize the entire Yanzhou in one fell swoop, and then cooperate with Wei Yan of Xuzhou, Yu Ban and others will attack the land of Henan in Qingzhou and unify the entire land of Henan.
At the same time, he ordered Zhou Yu to lead the rest of the army, and together with the state assassin Shi Pang De and the Liangzhou assassin Shi Ma Chao, they attacked the east of the river defended by Xiahou Yuan.
Although the plan was roughly formulated, there was no unanimous opinion among them on who should be the vanguard of LΓΌ Meng's army, Pang Tong recommended Gan Ning, Jia Xu recommended Hu Che'er, and Xun Yu recommended fellow countryman Du Xi.
At this moment, I suddenly heard Liao Hua report outside the account: "Lord Qi, General Zhang Yide of Anxi asked to see him, saying that he had something important." β
Liu Qi was slightly stunned when he heard this, and then said with a smile: "The vanguard is here, Zhang Yide is the enemy of ten thousand people, the mighty Cao army, and he is even more bold and careful, and he has always respected celebrities, as long as we send a military advisor to accompany him, he is definitely a most suitable pioneer." β
"But Zhang Fei is not a soldier under the lord after all, this person nominally belongs to the Han Dynasty, and he is only an ally with the lord. Jia Xu was quite worried about this, and hurriedly dissuaded.
Unexpectedly, Liu Qi smiled and said: "Wenhe and rest assured that this king had an agreement with Zhang Fei at the beginning, and he will be completely subdued today." (To be continued......)
