Liu Xiu immediately understood what he meant, smiled slightly, and nodded. Liu Tao pondered for a while, and he also understood. Xun Yu raised the price of grain, and he couldn't sell it below this price, so of course the price of all the grain sold would be more than 500 yuan. The grain that was originally sold for 300 yuan a stone has now become 500 yuan a stone, and the tax will naturally rise, and the taxes collected by the various customs along the way will of course also rise, so that although there is no ban on the sale of grain, the high price will certainly deter a group of people, and the tax will not drop significantly.
Xun Yu used the agreement of giving priority to the same price, which not only curbed the outflow of a large amount of grain, but also did not highlight the agreement between him and the powerful at the beginning, which can be described as reasonable and to the point, and has the effect of controlling the heavy with light.
Liu Tao nodded again and again, stroked his palms and praised: "Wen Ruo's plan is very good. โ
Liu Xiu didn't praise it, but just glanced at Xun Yu approvingly, Wang Zuo, such a talent is called Wang Zuo. With him in Guanzhong, Lao Tzu can rest assured.
Liu Tao got the plan and left happily. Liu Xiu immediately told Xun Yu about the trip to Luoyang. After Xun Yu listened, he was silent for a long time, and there was some worry between his eyebrows. After a while, Liu Xiu said, "Wen Ruo, do you want to write a letter back and let the family move to Chang'an?" My husband refuses to come to Chang'an, there is no scholar in this Chang'an Academy who can sit in the town, you see if Zhongyu is interested. Yingchuan is also in chaos, I estimate that Yingchuan College will not be able to be built for a while, so it is better to come to Chang'an first. โ
Xun Yu is also worried about this, if it is really as they guessed, the Son of Heaven wants to use Zhang Jiao's knife to cut the family Haoqiang, their family will also suffer some twists and turns, in case a corner has a different heart, or the Yellow Turban Army loses control, who knows what will become of it in the end, rather than this, it is better to move some people to Chang'an as soon as possible. Chang'an is vast and sparsely populated, and now there are many advantages, and more importantly, now to help Liu Xiu is to send charcoal in the snow, and after a few years Liu Xiu eases this breath, it is the icing on the cake, and the icing on the cake is not as good as sending charcoal in the snow after all.
"I'm going to write a letter to my uncle." Xun Yu said.
Liu Xiu smiled and didn't say anything more. Xun Shuang has always supported Yuan Shao, will he come to Guanzhong? Regardless of whether Xun Yu shirks, or he really has to ask Xun Shuang for respect in etiquette, that is the matter of the Xun family, anyway, for him, it is a great bargain to be able to dig Xun Yu and Xun You from the Xun family, people can't be too greedy, think about Cao Cฤo, Liu Bei and Dong Zhuo who were dug by him, they are really pitiful. If God let him be reborn as Yuan Shao, it wouldn't have to be so difficult.
As soon as he had this thought, Liu Xiu couldn't help but be curious, why Yuan Shao's baby was defeated in the end, I couldn't figure it out. Is it because I stimulated him that he became so strong, just like Zhang Jiao?
Liu Xiu immediately introduced Jian Shuo to Xun Yu, and as soon as he heard that the young Qiao Langjun in front of him was a member of the Xun family in Yingchuan, Jian Shuo suddenly felt that he was a little shorter, and regardless of his status as a prisoner, he stepped forward to salute Xun Yu. Xun Yu didn't know that Jian Shuo, the prison army, was requested by Liu Xiu, and thought that it was forced by the Son of Heaven, so he couldn't help but be a little unhappy, plus Jian Shuo was a eunuch, and he felt even more uncomfortable, but seeing Liu Xiu so solemnly introduced to him, he didn't hurt Liu Xiu's face, so he had to reluctantly step forward to return the salute, and said a few words without being salty, so he pushed the affairs to be busy, got up and left. His reluctant expression was in Jian Shuo's eyes, but Jian Shuo didn't feel that there was anything wrong, but felt that Xun Yu was already commendable to be able to talk to him, and it was Liu Xiu's face, and he became closer and closer to Liu Xiu.
In fact, except for Liu Xiu who regarded him as a person, there was basically no one in the entire mansion who looked at him pleasing to the eye, and he may be afraid of him, but he definitely didn't respect him. Jian Shuo has been in the palace for more than ten years, but he has not felt such heavy discrimination, this time out of the palace, and assumed the identity of a prisoner, he really realized how low the status of eunuchs in the eyes of scholars.
At this time, he could feel Liu Xiu's friendliness even more.
Liu Xiu arranged Jian Shuo in a very clean courtyard, the courtyard was not very large, but it was very quiet. Then he asked the eldest princess to send a few loyal and honest slaves and maids to serve him, these people are all old people in the eldest princess's mansion, and they know the psychology of eunuchs, even if they have any disdain, they will not put it on their faces.
Jian Shuo was very satisfied with this, he took a shower first, and then put on a new clothes, his hair was not dry, Bi Lan rushed to come, as soon as he entered the door, Bi Lan laughed, and he arched his hand and said: "I said Lao Jiao, you finally have the opportunity to make meritorious contributions this time, I say, you have good martial arts, and you will definitely be able to lead troops to fight in the future." โ
Jian Shuo was in a relaxed mood at the moment, and quickly greeted him, took Bi Lan's arm, looked up and down, and said with a smile: "Old Bi, although you have lost some weight, you are much more nervous than when you were in the palace." How about it, it's comfortable to live in Guanzhong, right? โ
"Comfortable." Bi Lan laughed, if it weren't for his sharp voice, he would be bold. "Thanks to General Wei, I'm also a big figure in Guanzhong now." Bi Lan patted his chest and said with a little pride: "The equipment made in my workshop has been sold to Liangzhou, and a few Hu merchants from the Western Regions came two days ago to buy my thirsty Wu." โ
Jian Shuo also laughed, and the two went to the hall and talked to each other about their parting feelings. Originally, when they were in the palace, their relationship was very ordinary, but now it is different, and when they go outside the palace, they inexplicably have a sense of identity.
When Bi Lan first arrived in Guanzhong, wherever he went, he would encounter cold eyes, and many scholars still pinched their noses to talk to him, deliberately reminding him of his identity and the smell of urine on his body. Now because Liu Xiu vigorously promotes the use of various machinery, which has brought convenience to the people, those families have also seen his benefits, and they have been close to him, hoping that he can solve all kinds of problems they encounter and bring them more benefits.
With this experience, Bi Lan was very grateful to Liu Xiu, he felt that Liu Xiu had given him a new life, and this time Liu Xiu invited him to accompany Jian Shuo, and he understood as soon as he heard it. Jian Shuo is a close confidant of the Son of Heaven, and he came to supervise the army, of course, he was to monitor Liu Xiu, and if he didn't accompany him well, it would seriously affect Liu Xiu's career, and how could he Bi Lan do such a thing. Even if Jian Shuo is a piece of, he has to praise him as a flower, not to mention that Jian Shuo's relationship with him is not too bad.
With Bi Lan by his side, Jian Shuo's mood was even more comfortable, and the results of Liu Xiu's implementation of the new policy in Guanzhong also sneaked into Jian Shuo's ears like a burst of rain through Bi Lan.
"You don't know how much General Wei suffered in Guanzhong Tuntian, but just after seeing some results, the Yuan family came to grab the benefits. That Fufeng Ma family, Fufeng Ma family, do you know it? It is Mrs. Situ's Ma family, knowing that General Wei is waiting for grain to conquer Song Jian, and wants to sell grain to Nanyang. โ
"Is there such a thing?" Jian Shuo's face sank suddenly, he wanted to work with Liu Xiu to fight against Song Jiangong, the Ma family did this, not only to dismantle Liu Xiu's platform, but also to embarrass him.
"How else can I lie to you?" Bi Lan's eyes widened: "Don't talk about it today, tomorrow you change your clothes, and you will know if I accompany you around the market." โ
"I really want to check it out." Jian Shuo said coldly, if the Yuan family actually wanted to stretch out his hand to Guanzhong, he couldn't sit idly by, no matter what, he would sue in front of the Son of Heaven.
When Bi Lan and Jian Shuo were talking, Liu Xiu and Yan Zhong were talking, Yan Zhong originally had some opinions about Jian Shuo coming to be the prison army, after listening to Liu Xiu's explanation, he nodded in agreement, rather than being secretly suspicious by the Son of Heaven, it was indeed better to take the initiative to ask for a prison army, so that the Son of Heaven could be completely reassured.
"It's very good that the general does this." Yan Zhong shook his fan with satisfaction, similar to an old man in the countryside, and did not have the wise image of a big yin strategist at all. "However, the battle of Liangzhou was not easy, and now that there is suddenly an additional supervising army, our burden is a little heavier, and it is even more difficult to fight."
Liu Xiu also sighed, although this year's harvest in Guanzhong Tuntian is okay, but the Son of Heaven spent a lot on his western tour, and those families are planning to sell grain to Nanyang, although Xun Yu came up with such an idea, but he will sell some more, and more importantly, this also increases his burden of buying extra grain, and only those parts he deserves are far from being able to support this war.
"Grain and grass are limited, so we can only use as few people as possible." Yan Zhong shook the pu fan and said: "The Son of Heaven has an order, and he has sent a prison army, it is not okay not to go out of the division, you must have to behave." In addition, it is not a good thing to let this prison soldier starve for a few days, and also let him know the difficulties of knowing the general. โ
"Sir, is there a way to take down Sohan?" For just making a show, Liu Xiu is still a little unwilling.
"There's always a way." Yan Zhong smiled, attached to Liu Xiu's ear and muttered a few words, Liu Xiu was stunned, then laughed, raised his thumb and praised: "Mr. is smart, Mr. is smart." โ
โฆโฆ
Zhang Jiao sat cross-legged on the high platform, looking at the empty camp outside the city, and the corners of his mouth provoked a sneer. Lu Zhi's fierce siege of the city, but the city was not captured, but he was requisitioned to Tingwei by a car, Liu Xiu rushed back to the capital for this purpose, and asked the Son of Heaven to pardon Lu Zhi, now Lu Zhi has become a concubine, Liu Xiu also completely withdrew from Luoyang for this reason, and even arranged two cronies in the northern army were transferred.
It was those two people who made his dignified great teacher suffer defeat.
Regarding the departure of Xiahou Yuan and Zhang He, Zhang Jiao felt both relaxed and regretful. The relief is that he doesn't have to play against these two for the time being, and unfortunately it's not that he doesn't have a chance to beat them and save face.
As soon as he thought of the cavalry camp led by Zhang He, Zhang Jiao had a headache, first Zhang Liang's 20,000 people were defeated, and then he personally led a large army to besiege the city, but he was disturbed by the cavalry of the northern army, and the cavalry who came and went like the wind became his most feared enemy. He sent Zhang Ming to Youzhou to form a cavalry, but Zhang Ming had been gone for a few months, not only did not bring back a single cavalry, but even he himself was missing.
This incident is indeed a bit strange, and it also makes Zhang Jiao a little uneasy. Zhang Ming can't bring back the cavalry, and Youzhou is unstable, which will become a thorn in his back. The left general, Baima Gongsun Zhan, has been standing still in Youzhou, if he suddenly goes south with the cavalry, how will he deal with it? The northern army is only more than 3,000 cavalry, which is such a headache, and the cavalry under the command of Gongsun Chan can be nearly 10,000, and Gongsun Chan himself is a famous general who once fought with Tanshihuai in northern Xinjiang.
As soon as he thought of Gongsun Zhan leading 10,000 cavalry to appear behind him, Zhang Jiao felt a chill down his spine. Of course, he knew why Gongsun Chan would not move now, but the taste of this kind of knife in someone else's hand was really uncomfortable.
Gongsun Zhan and Liu Xiu are classmates, and their senior brother Lu Min is Shanggu Taishou, with five or six thousand Wuhuan Jing horses in his hands, if he crosses Yanshan and appears in Jizhou, it will also be head-turning. As for the cavalry of the annexed states, not to mention.
The more Zhang Jiao thought about it, the more annoyed he became, because the little joy brought by Lu Jiao's freedom did not fly.
Am I really vulnerable? No, it's definitely not like that, I just need a little time, no famous general is born to fight, even the so-called Jiangmen family, which doesn't need to be experienced. Zhang Jiao waved the dust tail in his hand, waved the worry in his heart, sneered, and pinched the note in his hand.
This note bears the name of the new General Dongzhonglang: Dong Zhuo.
Zhang Jiao is no stranger to this person, he was defeated by Zhang Mancheng in Lushan, since my disciple can defeat him, I can also defeat him. Let him be my stone.
Zhang Bao pressed the hilt of the sword, walked quickly to Zhang Jiao, and said a few words in Zhang Jiao's ear. Zhang Jiaohuo turned his head, "Really? โ
"Absolutely." Zhang Bao's face was nervous, and there was sweat on his forehead.
Zhang Jiao's face was cold, he hurriedly got up and left his seat, and walked down the city tower quickly, Zhang Bao followed closely, and the guards next to him hurriedly followed. They walked too fast, the movement was too big, alarmed the soldiers who were practicing in cฤo below, and they looked over one by one, and saw the great sage and good teacher running so anxiously, they couldn't help but be a little surprised, and looked at each other, and the originally strict cฤo practice was suddenly a little chaotic.
Zhang Jiao didn't care about this, walked back to his courtyard in one breath, and saw a person sitting in the hall, with a thin face, but his eyes were bright, as soon as he saw him, he got up and greeted him, and bowed to the ground: "Disciple to meet the great sage and good teacher." โ
"You are the kingdom?" Zhang Jiao looked at the stranger in front of him, and he didn't know how to say hello. "You're not ......"
"It's the disciple Yuanbang." The kingdom that escaped death now seemed to be a different person, and its two eyes flashed with an unusually bright light, staring at Zhang Jiao tightly, as if he was afraid that Zhang Jiao would disappear from front of his eyes again. "Dare to teach the great sage and good teacher to learn that the disciple unfortunately fell into the water, but God was fortunate not to die, and he was rescued by the immortals, pointing out the disciple to the clear road, and the disciple traveled all the way to meet the great sage and good teacher."
Zhang Jiao was a little embarrassed and coughed twice. Wang Guo was not one of his eight disciples at all, just to make something happen in Liangzhou and contain Liu Xiu, he sent Zhang Ming to Jincheng, used Taoism to deceive the kingdom, and listed him as a new disciple with equal importance to the eight disciples, and took a new word called Yuanbang according to custom. Bang is the name of Gaozu of the Han Dynasty, and it was a word to avoid throughout the Han Dynasty, and calling Yuan Bang is tantamount to rebellion, so only a limited number of people know this name. After Lan Lan and the others came back, they once told him that the kingdom had died in Taoshui, but they didn't expect him to appear here alive.
Zhang Jiao subconsciously thought that he was a fake, but when he saw the token presented by the kingdom, he had to admit that this person should really be the kingdom.
"The immortals you are talking about...... What's going on? โ
Kingdom's eyes brightened a little, his voice trembled a little, and his hands trembled a little. He told Zhang Jiao that he fell into the surging water and floated down the water for more than ten miles, and then the water gradually slowed down and was washed ashore, but the person had already fainted. When he woke up, he saw a man dressed in white, the man was masked, and his voice was very erratic, he didn't know men and women, but he was very skillful, whether it was a spell or a spell, he was much more clever than Zhang Ming. He told the kingdom that he had saved him and gave him some money to come to Julu to find Zhang Jiao.
Zhang Jiao will be suspicious, although he is known as a master and a good teacher, but he has never seen an immortal, but the kingdom can see an immortal?
"He also gave me this." The kingdom suddenly remembered something, and took out a tattered cloth from his bosom, with some black sรจ marks on it, and a large hole in the middle. Zhang Jiao took it and looked at it carefully, only to find that it was a silk book, and those black sรจ marks were all old bloodstains.
"It's ......"
"This is the art of war." Wang Guo said excitedly: "This is what the immortal gave me, and he said, with this, you can defeat the army of the imperial court." โ
"King Xiang's Art of War?" Zhang Jiao's eyes lit up, and he hurriedly took a closer look. The silk book was stained with blood, and it was not easy to see clearly, but if you subdivide it, you can still see part of it clearly, and the first four words are the four words "Xiang Wang's Art of War". Thinking of Xiang Yu, who dominated the world more than 400 years ago, Zhang Jiao felt that his breathing was a little difficult.
Heaven help me, is this God's help to me? Zhang Jiao's mind echoed with Huang Zhong Dalu.
Wang Guo didn't notice Zhang Jiao's excitement, he babbled that he had been studying the art of war of King Xiang along the way, and he had comprehended a lot, and if he had read this art of war earlier, he would definitely not have been defeated by Liu Xiu. He also summarized the battle in Liangzhou, and found that the characteristics of Liu Xiu's use of troops and Xiang Wang's art of war coincided secretly, they were all good at using cavalry, and they were unexpected, and once they seized the fighter, they would attack with all their might. Liu Xiu lined up on the edge of the Huangshui River, which was similar to Xiang Yu's breaking the cauldron and sinking the boat and breaking the Qin army.
It took Zhang Jiao for a while to come back to his senses from the surprise, and when he found that the kingdom was still talking, he couldn't help but be a little surprised, and reached out to catch the pulse of the kingdom. The kingdom struggled twice, but failed to break free, and then jumped out of the gushing narration and looked at Zhang Jiao quietly. Zhang Jiao gave him a pulse for a while, and frowned. The pulse of the kingdom is disordered, and there are signs of madness.
"You've worked hard, take a good rest first."
"I'm not tired, I'm not tired." Wang Guo tugged at Zhang Jiao's sleeve and stammered. Zhang Jiao raised his eyebrows, raised his palm, and slammed his palm on the neck of the kingdom. The kingdom rolled his eyes and fell limply.
"Help him in, send someone to take care of him, and then summon his spirit." Zhang Jiao waved his hand, and there was a Taoist boy next to him who came over and carried the kingdom in. Zhang Jiao shook the silk book in his hand and grinned at Zhang Bao: "Bao, this is really God helping me, with this art of war, what are we afraid of?" Across the world, it is expected to be ri. โ
Zhang Bao nodded again and again with joy, looking a little more excited than Zhang Jiao, he wiped the saliva that was about to flow from the corner of his mouth, and said suspiciously: "Big brother, is there really a god in the world?" โ
"Absolutely!" Zhang Jiao carefully stroked the broken art of war, "Otherwise, how could this long-lost art of war suddenly appear in front of me." Ah Bao, the opportunity for you and my brother has arrived, and I believe that as long as we are sincere, it will not be long before the immortals will appear in front of our brothers and guide us to a peaceful and prosperous world. โ
Zhang Bao nodded again and again.
After all, Zhang Jiao was older, and he had been an official in the court, so his heart was much calmer, and he quickly calmed down: "Send someone to find Zhang Ming and them, especially Yu Yan, and let her see if this kingdom is true." If it's true, then we have another good hand, and the kingdom has fought against Liu Xiu in Yuzhong. โ
"Whoa." Zhang Bao stood up straight and answered loudly.
ps: I only found out today that the chapter number is interrupted, dizzy, and can't be changed, and the mistake is wrong.
