Yuan Tianlou, Liu Tai's study, "Lord, this is a secret document from Yizhou, Zhang Jiao and the followers decided to rebel on March 5 of the next year with the slogan that the sky is dead, the yellow sky should stand, the age is in Jiazi, and the world is auspicious. Xi Zhicai knelt on the couch with a solemn expression, handed a superstitious letter to Liu Tai and said.

Liu Tai nodded, and then looked at the secret letter, the secret letter not only had the time to raise troops, but also the main people who participated in the uprising had an approximation, and the great sage and good teacher also appeared in the secret letter for the first time, thinking that Zhang Jiao had already thought about his own title.

"Is Tang Zhou still in the Sili area?" Liu Tai frowned, found that there was no Tang Zhou on the secret letter, and looked at Xi Zhicai and asked.

Xi Zhicai nodded and said: "Since the lord asked his subordinates to pay attention to Tang Zhou, Tang Zhou has been staying in the Sili area to recruit believers with Ma Yuanyi, and he is Ma Yuanyi's deputy, and he has great authority among Sili's believers. ”

"Zhicai can see this person have the heart to judge?" Liu Tai naturally couldn't say that Tang Zhou would become a traitor, but now it is not necessarily certain that Tang Zhou would be judged, after all, the current situation of the Yellow Sect is too different from history, and the Yellow Turban Army in Yizhou alone is likely to defeat Chang'an and coerce Luoyang, not to mention that there are a large number of Yellow Sect followers in other states and counties in the world?

Since the rebellion of Cao Qian in Yizhou was put down, Zhang Jiao began to recruit troops and forge ordnance on a large scale in Yizhou by virtue of the power in his hands, and it was even rumored that many gate lords joined the Yellow Sect and became a loyal believer of Zhang Jiao, and the entire Yizhou can be said to be on Zhang Jiao's chariot, so Liu Tai estimated that in February of the next year, Zhang Jiao alone in Yizhou alone, can recruit as many as 300,000 soldiers and horses!!

If the Yizhou army out of Yangping Pass, as long as it passes through Chencang, it can go straight to Chang'an, with Chang'an's thousands of defenders now, it is impossible to resist Zhang Jiao's soldiers, if it is not for the past few years Emperor Ling has taken precautions and pulled up hundreds of thousands of northern Xinjiang in Luoyang, Liu Tai believes that Zhang Jiao can even directly defeat Luoyang and completely smash the Han Dynasty.

"It's not clear for the time being, but Tang Zhou and Ma Yuanyi are not in harmony, this is a well-known core figure of the Sili Huangjiao, in the Sili Huangjiao branch, Ma Yuanyi controls seventy percent of the manpower, Tang Zhou only has three percent, it can be said that he is completely pressed by Ma Yuanyi, but the problem is that Tang Zhou is Zhang Jiao's introductory disciple, and Ma Yuanyi is just a registered disciple, so the contradiction is naturally inevitable, as for whether he will betray the Yellow Sect, this depends on Tang Zhou's own thoughts." Xi Zhicai shook his head, although he had a plan to reach the sky, he was not sure about the surname, after all, Xi Zhicai didn't know much about Tang Zhou.

"En" Liu Tai nodded, then frowned and thought for a while, and said: "Tang Zhou has to rebel if he doesn't rebel, so let's send someone to contact Tang Zhou in private, it is best to let Tang Zhou send a high degree of rebellion against the Yellow Sect to the imperial court in February of the next year, if Tang Zhou does not obey, then force him to obey, doesn't he have a few concubines and a young son who he likes very much?" Arrest these concubines and only sons, as long as Tang Zhou disobeys a little, cut off a finger or two and send them away, General Ben doesn't believe it, how long can he endure it?"

"Lord, isn't this a little too inhumane?" Hearing Liu Tai's words similar to kidnapping, Xi Zhicai frowned and asked.

"Humph!!" Liu Tai snorted coldly, looked at Xi Zhicai, and said coldly: "Those who become big things are not informal, if the Yellow Sect is allowed to prepare, then there will only be more people involved in the war. ”

"Okay, my subordinates know" Hearing Liu Tai's explanation, Xi Zhicai also understood that if the Huangjiao raised troops in March and everything was ready, I was afraid that the Luoyang Imperial Court would not be able to react at all, and now what Liu Tai is doing is to fight for a glimmer of life for the imperial court.

"By the way, are there any secret messages from Yangzhou and Jingzhou?" In addition to Yizhou, Liu Tai is most at ease in Jingyang Erzhou, although the Central Plains has been plagued by disasters in the past few years, nothing major has happened in Jingyang, even if there is a little turmoil, it is controlled within a small range.

"Since Liu Lao (Liu Yu) was escorted back to Beijing, the position of Yangzhou Assassin is vacant, and there are many things to fight for power, but the Yellow Sect has not made any big moves, Zhang Bao in Yangzhou seems to have been in contact with a Taoist priest named Yu Ji very frequently recently, I heard that Yu Ji is still Zhang Jiao's uncle, as for more detailed news, it has not yet come." Xi Zhicai shook his head, indicating that nothing major had happened in Jingyang Erzhou.

Although Liu Yu was escorted back to Beijing because of the robbery of taxes, but after Liu Tai's actions, the matter was finally pardoned by Emperor Ling, but Liu Yu wanted to be an official again, it is impossible at present, Liu Tai originally wanted to take Liu Yu to Youzhou, but Liu Yu refused to live or die, as for Liu Yan, not to mention, although he was named Taifu, he had no real power, and there was no need to stay at all, but in order to help Liu Tai, he still stayed in Luoyang, pulled up a big banner, and fought to the death for Liu Tai and the Yuan family in the court.

Liu Yan's care and protection of Liu Tai, Liu Tai is really very grateful, and Liu Tai wants to send someone to rob Liu Yan back again and again, but he can't make up his mind every time, because Liu Tai knows that there is another big thing that Liu Yan must do, that is, the reintroduction of the state pastoral system.

"Hey, how is Uncle doing?" Frowning and sighing, Liu Tai asked out loud.

Xi Zhicai shook his head and said with a sad face: "Mr. Liu has been an official all his life, but in the end he lost his official position due to water piracy, and he locked himself in the mansion every day, but there is still news that I don't know whether to tell or not." ”

"Say it." Liu Tai saw Xi Zhicai's hesitant look, shook his head with a wry smile and said.

"I heard" Xi Zhicai's face was full of hesitation, and he bit it and said, "I heard that Your Majesty wants to put Master Liu in Yizhou."

Liu Tai's pupils shrank, if Emperor Ling put Liu Yu in Yizhou now, wouldn't this let Liu Yu go to death? Liu Taike knows very well that the Yellow Turban Uprising at the end of the Han Dynasty was the biggest purge of the Liu clan, otherwise how could Liu Beixiong rise up later? It's because the talents of the Han royal family have almost been killed!

"Stop, absolutely stop, don't let your uncle go to Yizhou, my uncle has a great kindness to Tai, and has helped Tai many times, if you don't care about his life and death, what qualifications does Tai have to stand between heaven and earth?" Since Liu Tai's expression was serious, he stared at Xi Zhicai with both eyes, and said through gritted teeth.

"My lord, this is a little inappropriate." Xi Zhicai looked at Liu Tai with a wry smile, in fact, Xi Zhicai didn't know, as long as he said it, Liu Tai would definitely save Liu Yu, but if he moved and pulled his whole body, in case Huang Jiao saw any clues, wouldn't all the layouts be finished?

"What's wrong?" Liu Tai frowned, and said dissatisfiedly: "As a son and nephew, if you can't even save your uncle, how can you talk about hegemony?" Besides, we just stopped my uncle from going to Yizhou to take office, and we didn't want my uncle to be an official! ”

In fact, Liu Tai also understood why Emperor Ling asked Liu Yu to go to Yizhou, this is obviously a surveillance of Zhang Jiao, although Zhang Jiao's actions have been very secret in the past six months, there is always a bit of a rumor, isn't it? In the opinion of Emperor Ling, it doesn't matter if Zhang Jiao has a move, as long as you don't oppose me, and Emperor Ling's attitude has gradually made Zhang Jiao bigger and bigger, and now he can do whatever he wants in Yizhou, like an uncrowned king.

"Have you ever thought that the only clan relatives in the court who can be entrusted with important responsibilities now are Master Liu and the biological father of the lord, if Lord Liu does not go to Yizhou, then" Xi Zhicai smiled bitterly again and again, and it was easy to say if he wanted to, but he could only half-hide it like this.

Liu Tai listened to Xi Zhicai's words, his expression was stunned, and then he remembered that Liu Yan was really sent to Yizhou, Liu Yu was appointed as the pastor of Youzhou in the official history, and after the Yellow Turban Rebellion, almost all the capable clansmen were sent by Emperor Ling to shepherd and guard the state and county, just to prevent someone from holding the power of the state and county and jumping up to rebel.

The current situation is that Yizhou is a fire pit, who goes and who dies, Liu Yu and Liu Yan? Is it true that only one can be guaranteed?

"Perhaps, the person Your Majesty really wants to send abroad is my father" A wry smile hung on the corner of Liu Tai's mouth, remembering that Emperor Ling intended to let Yuan Kui reascend the throne of Taifu, and now Liu Yan happened to sit on the throne of Taifu.

Xi Zhicai nodded in agreement, since Liu Tai saw it himself, he had nothing to scruple about.

"My lord, what do you mean by your subordinates, or how about sending a secret letter to the boss? Persuade the old man to call his illness at home as soon as possible, or simply resign and not do it. Xi Zhicai gritted his teeth and said to Liu Tai.

Liu Tai shook his head, touched his nose with a wry smile and said, "Is it that easy?" If my father claims to be sick to the outside world, I'm afraid that His Majesty will let my father go to Yizhou to recuperate as soon as possible, hey."

Xi Zhicai opened his mouth, he was really stumped, in fact, from the overall situation, regardless of the life or death of Erliu is the best choice, after all, no one wants to say that when the emperor is fighting for hegemony in the future, many emperors will come out, but Liu Tai attaches too much importance to affection, but the problem is that everyone under Liu Tai's command will not see Liu Tai's point, so they will die for the effect?

"This doesn't work, that doesn't work, and my subordinates are also skilled." Xi Zhicai frowned and said with a heavy expression.

Liu Tai nodded, agreeing with Xi Zhicai's words, and then said out loud with a helpless look: "Let's use a dead horse as a live horse doctor, just let people temporarily detain my father and uncle, and wait until the Yellow Turban Rebellion starts, and then make plans." ”

"This" Xi Zhicai looked at Liu Tai dumbfounded, Liu Tai really didn't have the slightest scruples, even his father and uncle dared to kidnap him, this is too much, at least pay attention to his reputation.

Seeing Xi Zhicai's appearance, Liu Tai touched his nose and looked a little embarrassed, but what could Liu Tai do, could it be that he watched Er Liu go to death? Liu Tai was reluctant, and he couldn't pass the hurdle in his heart.
