Chapter 62: Analysis
finally peacefully recovered Xun You, a stubborn guy.
Li Zheng's mood is indescribably happy.
Immediately, he laughed and said to Xun You: "It's not easy, it's not easy, Xun Gongda, you have let me suffer for so long, I have to take revenge on you!" β
Saying that, Li Zheng's face turned solemn and said: "Xun You listens to the order, and from now on, Xun You will be appointed to be in charge of the government affairs of Lingzhou, Fuping, Lian County and Baishuichuan, and be a military advisor and counselor of military affairs!" β
"Command!"
Xun You smiled, relieved, and happily agreed.
It can be said that Li Zheng's move has delegated most of the rights in his hands to Xun You's hands. As a great power who is interested in the great cause of the world, Xun You is naturally very pleased.
They are the kind of people who lack anything, but they are afraid that they will not be reused, and there is no stage to display their talents.
Now, as the first power to invest in Li Zheng's potential stocks, Xun You can already look forward to his brilliant future. Just like Li Zheng said just now, if Li Zheng becomes the Son of Heaven and wants to appoint the prime minister, the first qualified person is Xun You!
The two ministers looked at each other and laughed in unison.
Xun You's dedication marks a big step forward in the development of Li Zheng's power. Maybe Xun You is better at military strategy, but he is also good at handling government affairs. One specialization and multiple abilities are the natural characteristics of this type of strategist!
With Xun Yu in charge of government affairs, with his ability, the government affairs of the three counties and two grasslands are well organized, which is naturally not a problem. In this way, Li Zheng could be freed from these busy affairs and divert all his energy to strengthening the military.
The two went down the grass hill together, and Li Zheng asked Zhao Wu to call him again, and the three of them went to Li Zheng's study together and sat down separately.
Li Zheng first explained Xun You's contribution with a happy face, and then announced his appointment to Xun You.
Hearing this, Zhao Wu actually seemed even happier than Li Zheng, and bowed his hand to Xun Yu again and again, and said sincerely: "Mr. Gongda, we few house slaves who followed the master earlier have no ability. There are many things that make it difficult to help the Lord. Now that Mr. Gongda can abandon his identity and serve the Lord, it is a great joy for me Zhao Wu! Thank you, Mr. Gongda! β
Hearing Zhao Wu say this, Li Zheng couldn't help but feel very relieved.
Zhao Wu can do this and sincerely consider him, Li Zheng thought to himself, he must not be negative in the future!
"Brother Zhao is serious!" Xun You hurriedly returned the salute: "Now we are colleagues, assisting the lord to complete the great cause, and the help of Brother Zhao and others is indispensable!" β
"Okay, good" Li Zheng was very relieved when he saw this scene, and said with a smile: "You two don't have to compliment each other so much, you can help each other in the future and work together." β
"Whoa!"
"Zhao Wu," Li Zheng said again, "After you go down later, I will immediately issue the appointment of Mr. Gongda to Zhang Shan, White Wolf, Nuro, Kamuke, Zhou Fei, Zhou Lin and Li Lao in my name." β
Zhao Wu nodded yes.
After this matter, Li Zheng turned his words and talked about the current situation, and said: "For a period of time, the caravan has collected news from all over the country, and after analyzing it, the current situation has become very clear. β
Xun You and Zhao Wu listened attentively.
"At the beginning of the year, I thought that the battle situation in Liangzhou had changed, and I was very nervous. Unexpectedly, it was because Zhang Wen was deposed. β
"Oh?!"
Xun You didn't know about this, and couldn't help but stare when he heard the words.
Li Zheng continued: "After Zhang Wen was deposed, the imperial court appointed Huangfu Song as the general of Zuo, supervised the former general Dong Zhuo, and sat in Sanfu to quell the rebellion. β
"Mr. Gongda, do you think these two people will come to quell the rebellion, but they will make achievements? And I, the captain of the Qiang Guard, what should I do in the face of these two people? β
Xun Yu pondered for a while, his eyes quickly lit up, and he said confidently: "It seems that the imperial court has made up its mind this time to quell the rebellion." Huangfu Song and Dong Zhuo are both famous generals in the world, if nothing else, Han Sui's life will soon be difficult. β
Li Zheng listened attentively.
"But," Xun You's voice changed, but said: "I expect that although this rebellion will have results, it will definitely not make the Son of Heaven happy!" β
"What about that?!" Li Zheng hurriedly asked. Zhao Wu also stared at Xun Yu tightly.
Although Li Zheng is sure that Han Sui will crisscross the land of Xiliang for decades, Xun You does not have the ability to have such a prophetic sense as Li Zheng.
So Li Zheng wanted to hear Xun You's judgment on this matter.
"The emperor is really the first and doesn't say anything." Xun You said leisurely: "My subordinates will first introduce the former general Dong Zhuo to the lord. Dong Zhuo, the word Zhongying, is from Longxi. This person is brave and good at fighting, and in terms of ability, he is a rare good general. But this man is quite ambitious! Since Dong Zhongying came to prominence, to now, he has always been able to hold on to the military power under his command, and the Son of Heaven has long been dissatisfied with this. However, this person boarded the ship of the great general He Jin, although the Son of Heaven had a heart, he could not help him for the time being. β
Li Zheng nodded slowly. In his opinion, the great general He Jin was originally just a pawn raised by Liu Hong, the Son of Heaven, to fight against the family, but obviously, this person has broken away from the control of the Son of Heaven and has his own ambitions. Colluding with local generals, cultivating forces, and acting as a protective umbrella is ironclad evidence.
However, the Han family is declining day by day, and its control is not as good as before, and it is difficult to pull out this kind of tumor, so it can only be temporarily endured and let it go.
"The army under Dong Zhongying has been stationed in the area of Youfufeng. When Zhang Wen was presiding over the overall situation of counterinsurgency, he could not mobilize this army, otherwise the Liangzhou rebels would not be vulnerable, but they would definitely not be in such a stalemate! And Zhang Wen wanted to deal with Dong Zhuo, but he was afraid of Dong Zhuo's reputation in Qiangdi and the army under his command, so he couldn't do it. In fact, it can be seen that Zhang Wen was deposed for reactive work, and Dong Zhuo played a big role in it. β
"Now the imperial court has appointed Dong Zhuo to go on the expedition, although he is led by Huangfu Song, but Huangfu Song has no descendant army, and he will definitely not be able to suppress Dong Zhuo! In other words, this counterinsurgency is actually dominated by Dong Zhuo! β
Li Zheng thought so.
"This time I got Dong Zhuo's wishes, according to Dong Zhuo's ambition, even if I can destroy Han Sui, I won't do it!" Xun You said categorically: "Raising thieves is self-respecting, this is one of them. Second, Dong Zhuo is a martial artist from a humble family, and he can get to this point, and there must be people of insight under his command, and he may be able to see the decline of the Han Dynasty, I am afraid that it is no different from the lord's plan! β
Li Zheng was slightly stunned, and thought of a person - Dong Zhuo's son-in-law, Li Ru. Or Jia Xu? No, Jia Xu shouldn't have played under Dong Zhuo yet!
Li Zheng's mind turned this information around, and he asked: "Then, according to Gongda's meaning, it is inevitable that Dong Zhuo will suppress the rebellion and defeat Han Sui this time, but he will definitely let Han Sui live!" β
"The lord is wise!" Xun You complimented.
Li Zheng smiled, Xun Yu had almost told the matter, but let Li Zheng make a summary, he really knew how to be a minister.
"So, what do I do?" Li Zheng inquired.
"It's simple." Xun You said with a smile: "First, the lord must participate in this war and show his strength to Dong Zhuo, so that he will not dare to neglect and slacken!" β
"Why is that?" Li Zhengqi said.
"Dong Zhuo has the ambition to win the world, for him, Longxi and Fufeng are the bases, and Liangzhou is the rear. This time he will definitely surrender Han Sui, even if it is nominally, he will temporarily remove Han Sui's threat. Then for the lord, the captain appointed by the imperial court, he will naturally not leave it alone! Maybe they will send someone to win them over, but I think that if this person's violence does not show great strength, I am afraid that they will be attacked by their troops! β
Li Zheng frowned and couldn't help nodding again and again.
Showing your muscles is also a measure to protect yourself.
But he said: "I am the captain of the imperial court, in what name does Dong Zhuo attack me?" β
"It's very simple, either for not obeying orders, or for attacking directly, and then immediately committing a crime at will."
Li Zheng nodded.
"After the lord shows his strength, Dong Zhuo will not dare to fight hard with the lord, otherwise it will ruin his plan, and the power in his hands will be damaged, how can he talk about the hegemony of the world - this is also one of the reasons why Dong Zhuo will not completely exterminate Han Sui? Therefore, it is inevitable that there will be peace with the Lord! β
Li Zheng listened, and his heart became clearer and clearer.
"Second, after the lord's battle, the next step is naturally to bring Liangzhou into the palm of his hand. Therefore, it is also necessary to participate in this battle, weaken Han Sui on the maximum Cheng dΓΉ, and lay a foundation for the future. β
"Mr. Gongda is clever!"
Li Zheng was convinced, but after being happy, he frowned again and said, "However, there is a threat from the Xiongnu in the north, and I am afraid that too many troops will not be mobilized in this battle." β
"Then we have to see what the situation of the Huns is like now." Xun You replied.
"Hmm." Li Zheng nodded and said: "Since the end of last year, the Xiongnu on the right, headed by the Gu Du Hou of the Xu Bu clan, have jointly slaughtered all the departments, and at the beginning of the year, Qiangqu has been driven out of the Xiongnu Wang Tingmeiji. This is news from April, and after April, I haven't gotten news yet. β
Although at the beginning of the year, Li Zheng had contact with Xu Bu Boli and began to let Zhou Lin's caravan get involved in trade with the Xiongnu, but the time was too short, and the intelligence system had not yet been rolled out within the Xiongnu. Second, a lot of important information, even if it is to reach the territory of the Sub clan, it will take a long time.
Li Zheng has no way to change this.
When Xun You heard this, he frowned slightly, not very satisfied. Liang Jiu said: "Although there is no news after April, since Qiangqu escaped from Meiji in April, presumably the Xiongnu will not be able to settle down in a short time!" This is a good thing for the lord. β
Li Zheng nodded yes.
Indeed, if Qiangqu was killed as soon as the Xubu clan rebelled, then the Xubu clan would soon dominate the Southern Xiongnu, which was extremely bad news for Li Zheng. But if Qiangqu is not dead, then he will definitely keep resisting, so that the Xu Bu clan will not be able to share his energy, which is a great thing for Li Zheng.
"If after getting the news of the battle situation in Liangzhou, the details of the civil strife of the Xiongnu are not yet clear, then the lord needs to make a decision." Xun You said: "Whether to station heavy troops in Baishuichuan to prevent the Huns, or to mobilize heavy troops to participate in the killing of Han Sui Liwei, subordinates and others dare not make good claims." β
Li Zheng slowly bowed his head, and after a while, he said, "That's the only way to go." The specific decision will have to wait, I think there should be news from within the Xiongnu soon. β
Xun You and Zhao Wuqi nodded in unison.
