Chapter 575: Crisis

readx;?“ Your Majesty, I think Cao Zhendong has already fought with his heart. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info" Zhou Yu said respectfully and calmly: "The four wild places of Yanzhou have nothing to defend, and the Yuan family's troops are twice as strong as him, so it is rare to be undefeated. ”

The Son of Heaven looked at him and did not refute. He understands all these truths, he is just upset in his heart, and he is just angry with Cao Ang.

"Then tell me, how to fight next?" The Son of Heaven paused, and then said, "It's best to let General Zhendong win a big battle, so that it can be more balanced." ”

Zhou Yu thought for a while: "With Cao Zhendong's strength alone, it is obviously difficult to do this, and most of the troops in other places are under the control of the Che Cavalry General, even if he does not object, he will have a share of credit in the future." If you want to support Cao Zhendong to balance the general of the bike, the minister thinks that there are only two places to choose. ”

"Oh, tell me about it." The Son of Heaven came to Jing God and beckoned Zhou Yu to him.

"One is Gongsun Zan and Liu Bei in Liaodong, and the other is the forbidden army in Gyeonggi."

The Son of Heaven raised his eyebrows, nodded, and then said: "Gongsun Zan and Liu Bei are okay to say, this forbidden army ...... But it's still in the hands of Taiwei Duan Cheng, who is the gentleman of the general of the chariot cavalry. ”

"Yes, Duan Gong is the gentleman of the Che Cavalry General, but he is not the general of the Che Cavalry General, so he can not listen to the Che Cavalry General's command." Zhou Yu smiled: "Besides, Duan Gong is old, maybe it's time to rest." Why didn't His Majesty understand his hard work and achievements, and asked him to go back to the capital to recuperate, and then send another person to command the forbidden army and cooperate with General Zhendong to fight. At present, the general of the Che Cavalry occupies the first line of the Yangtze River, and Yuan Shu is captured alive, Yuan Kui is just a scholar, and it is a good time to take Yuzhou. ”

The Son of Heaven rolled his eyes twice, smiled and nodded: "Not bad, not bad." Then tell me more, who is more appropriate to send to command the forbidden army? ”

"Hussar General." Zhou Yu replied, pondered for a moment, and said, "It's best to take Lu Min as a long history." ”

The Son of Heaven pondered for a moment. Haha smiled and patted Zhou Yu hard: "It makes sense, it makes sense, if it can be successful." You are the first to work. He thought for a moment and then said, "Go too, be a messenger of the prison army, and put into practice what you have learned on the battlefield." ”

Zhou Yu was overjoyed and bowed down.

The Son of Heaven was in a good mood, and quickly walked down the Vermilion Bird Que and came to the Jiaofang Palace. As soon as you enter the temple gate. Then he cried out in a loud voice, "I am coming, Queen Mother." I'm sorry I'm late. Walking into the main hall, he looked around and said in surprise: "Hey, where is Ah He?" Let's go? ”

Empress Dowager Song put down the book in her hand and glanced at him lightly: "Ah He doesn't leave, will you come?" ”

The Son of Heaven touched his nose embarrassedly: "Queen Mother." It's not that I don't want to see Ah He. ”

"I know you don't see anyone." Empress Dowager Song had a cold face, and she didn't let the Son of Heaven sit, and said sternly: "Then do you want to go to see your father?" ”

The Son of Heaven was shocked. The face became a little difficult to look at, clasped his hands, bit his lip and did not speak.

"Do you remember how your father died young? Do you know how urgent the situation is right now? How old are you, you dare to do your own thing, you don't even listen to my words, do you think that just with Zhou Yu, Yang Xiu and Cao Ang, you can deal with the Che Cavalry General, and you can deal with the Yuan family? ”

"They are not just three people, they all have family backgrounds behind them that cannot be underestimated." The Son of Heaven muttered in a low voice: "Who else can I rely on except them?" The general of the chariot cavalry is becoming more and more obvious, can't the queen mother see it? ”

"Disobedient?" Empress Dowager Song was furious. stood up and flicked his sleeves: "Do you know what it means to be a non-minister?" The Yuan family is the real disobedient, they have already raised the anti-flag, and you haven't come up with any way to deal with him to this day, but you haven't raised the anti-flag Che cavalry general to take precautions, do you think this is very wise? The general of the chariot cavalry really wants to rebel. Can you stop it? ”

Seeing that the Empress Dowager Song was angry, the Son of Heaven was startled, and he didn't dare to reply again, so he quickly knelt down and kowtowed to ask for guilt, and then knelt in front of the Empress Dowager, holding her legs and shaking, raising her face and begging: "Queen Mother, I was wrong, I was wrong, what should I do?" ”

"What should I do?" Empress Dowager Song was shaken by him, and reached out to pat his little face: "Can you still listen to me?" ”

"Listen, of course."

"Okay, you go to the Chu Palace, and apologize to Ah He. Let's just say that you were too busy with schoolwork just now, and you forgot the time for a while and snubbed her. ”

"To apologize?" The Son of Heaven made a bitter face: "Is this necessary?" Ah He and I have been together since we were children, and even if I have something wrong, she never cares. ”

"She doesn't care about you, but the king of Chu is more accountant, and the general of the chariot cavalry is more accountable, and they will think that you are despising and hostile to them." Empress Dowager Song hated the iron and poked the forehead of the Son of Heaven: "Do you know that now only the Che Cavalry General can pacify the Yuan family and keep your throne, and Ah He is the guarantee that the Che Cavalry General can serve you with peace of mind." ”

The Son of Heaven stood up, scratched his head, and said with some embarrassment: "But the queen mother, have you thought about it, this time the general of the Che Cavalry pacified Jiangnan and captured Yuan Shu alive, and his merit cannot be rewarded, and he will pacify Henan in the future, and he can't help but reward it, and then pacify Hebei, so how can he be rewarded?" General? Wouldn't that be another calamity for relatives? ”

"Misfortune of relatives?" Empress Dowager Song was stunned for a moment, and then said: "In the one hundred and sixty years since Emperor Guangwu, there have been many generals who have abused power, but which one can finally succeed?" ”

"That's different." The Son of Heaven retorted seriously: "Those great generals are just relatives, at most they are just families, they are not clans, and they have no military power, and no matter how much power they have, they can't shake the foundation." The general of the chariot cavalry is different, he is a clan, and he also controls more than half of the Jing soldiers in the world. Once he has a disobedient heart, who can check and balance him? Liang Jilu killed Emperor Xiaozhi, but he couldn't ascend the throne by himself, so he had to re-elect an emperor, but if he was replaced by a chariot general, he could directly ascend the throne as the emperor himself. ”

"What nonsense are you talking about!" Empress Dowager Song sank her face and scolded sharply: "How could he kill you." ”

"What's not to do?" The Son of Heaven blushed and retorted: "I don't have an heir yet, if I die, he is also qualified to be elected in this clan, who in other clans can compete with him, isn't this world his?" The Son of Heaven's voice became louder and louder, and finally he was almost shouting: "If it really comes to that point, not only will the throne be seized by him, but even the Song family and the Cao family will become his roadblocks, or does the queen mother think that the Song family and the Cao family can take refuge in him and gain glory and wealth?" Can you get more than you can now? ”

Empress Dowager Song looked at the blushing Tianzi in shock, speechless for a while, but her face became more and more ugly, and after a long time, she said, "Then what can you do?" ”

The Son of Heaven let out a sigh and said the method he had just discussed with Zhou Yu. Empress Dowager Song looked at him in surprise: "You and Zhou Yu really came up with it?" ”

When the Son of Heaven saw her expression, he knew that he had moved her, and hurriedly smiled: "How is it, it's not bad, right?" ”

Empress Dowager Song nodded: "It does make some sense, but the forbidden army is only 20,000 people, and it is very reluctant to protect Gyeonggi, and then cooperate with General Zhendong to attack Yuzhou, then who will be responsible for Gyeonggi?" ”

The Son of Heaven was stunned for a moment, and said uncertainly: "Yuan Kui and Yuan Shao are too busy to take care of themselves, can they still come to attack Gyeonggi?" ”

Empress Dowager Song glanced at him: "Yuan Kui may not have this ability, but Yuan Shao may have." Don't forget, Jizhou now has more than 100,000 troops, and Zhao Yun and they can only contain him, but they can't defeat him. Once General Zhendong went to Yuzhou to fight, who could guarantee that Yuan Shao would not take advantage of the situation to attack Luoyang? ”

"But it's still Gongsun Chan and Liu Bei." The Son of Heaven rolled his eyes: "We can first let Gongsun Zan and Liu Bei attack Yuan Shao to attract his attention, and then let the hussar general cooperate with General Zhendong to attack." ”

Empress Dowager Song didn't understand these either, she couldn't think of a reason to refute the Son of Heaven, so she had to promise him to try first. But before that, we must first appease Liu Xiu, and we can't let him have a mustard because of this. If Liu Xiu does not agree, this plan cannot be implemented.

The Son of Heaven didn't think so, he felt that discussing with Liu Xiu was seeking skin with the tiger, he couldn't see that this was a plan against him, and if he asked for his opinion, he would definitely not agree.

However, the Son of Heaven knew who to discuss with, so he took Zhou Zhou Yu and others out of the palace, and did not go to the Chu Palace, but went to Situ Mansion first.

Situ Luzhi has been relatively quiet recently, and since Gongsun Zan was repelled by Yuan Shao and lost half of Youzhou, the voice accusing him of abusing power is basically inaudible. With the successive recovery of most of Jingzhou and Yangzhou, this year's taxes have increased significantly compared with last year, and all the taxes of the states and counties under Liu Xiu's control have increased, especially the growth momentum of Yizhou is very rapid, and it has far exceeded and cool, and the recovery of Jingzhou also made him breathe a sigh of relief, and he finally didn't have to live so stretched.

Lu Zhi was taking stock of this year's income and expenditure, and when he saw the Son of Heaven and others in regular clothes walking in quickly, he was taken aback, and hurriedly invited the Son of Heaven to the inner hall and paid a big salute. The Son of Heaven was very polite to him, firstly, he knew that Lu Zhi was very knowledgeable and prestigious, and secondly, he knew that Lu Zhi was indeed a loyal minister, and he was one of the four ministers who could really come in handy among the four ministers left to him by the first emperor.

"Sir, please get up, I'm a micro-line, not above the court, so I don't need so many courtesies."

"Your Majesty, this is a mistake. A gentleman is cautious and does not deceive the dark room, how can he mess up etiquette. Lu Zhi persuaded solemnly: "Your Majesty is the weight of the world, and it is better to do less of this small thing." What if the fish and dragon are white, what will be done? ”

The Son of Heaven was a little speechless, Lu Zhi was good at everything, it was this point that made people unbearable, and he always put the gift first, which made people unable to relax for a while. He coughed and told him what he meant. Lu Zhi listened quietly, thought for a while, and finally nodded: "Your Majesty is wise, and the minister thinks this strategy is very good!" ”

"Really?" The Son of Heaven's eyes lit up, and he couldn't help but feel a little proud, and his body stood up, but he was forced by Lu Zhi's eyes, so he had to put away his smile again and sit back honestly. (To be continued) RQ
