Chapter 236: The Prime Minister Visits

But Liu Ze knows very well that there are a few people in the world who can sacrifice their lives like Lu Zhi. Cai Yong has been deposed and circulated for many years, and he is displaced, so he naturally can't help but have a grudge against the court. Although Cai Yong is not the kind of person who tends to be inflammatory, Dong Zhuo must have a sense of knowing that he treats him well, which will also be his way to take trouble in the future.

"I heard that Senior Sister Yan'er is a new widow and has returned to Cai's house early, so she must have entered Beijing with Cai Gong this time, right?" Liu Ze still couldn't let go of Cai Yan in his heart, according to the historical situation, Cai Yan should have died of her husband at this time and was widowed at home.

Lu Zhi's expression was also gloomy, and he sighed: "Since ancient times, the red face has a thin life, and the niece Yan is really a thin life in the red face, only two years after marrying into the Wei family, her husband has died, and more than the Wei family is not harmonious, and returned to the Cai family angrily. When I was in the capital, I also saw each other, describing me as haggard, which made people feel pity. ”

Liu Ze's heart seems to have been pricked by a needle, although Cai Yan's situation can be imagined by him, but really hearing the news of her still makes Liu Ze feel inexplicably palpitated, the only woman he has ever loved in his life, no matter what, he can't let go.

The next banquet was a little dull, the words Liao Liao, when the banquet was over, Liu Ze asked: "The teacher abandoned the official and left Beijing this time, I don't know what the arrangements are?" ”

"As a teacher, I have long been tired of officialdom, and I want to return to my hometown in Zhuoxian County when I leave Beijing this time, write books, speak, and preach, and live this life." Lu Zhi is very calm about the future.

Liu Ze said: "Dong Zhuo hates the teacher to the core, and wants to get rid of it quickly, and Dong Zhuo will repay him." is the kind of person who will never give up until he reaches his goal, if the teacher returns to his hometown, will he not be poisoned by Dong Zhuo. According to the students' opinion, the teacher might as well stay in the plains, one is that there are students here, and the teacher can be protected, and the other is that the teacher can also say in the plain book that the students are interested in founding a school, if the teacher does not give up, I don't know if they can succumb to the position of superintendent? ”

Lu Zhi was slightly surprised. "Runde also wants to run a private school?"

Private? Liu Ze Khan! The school you want to run has nothing to do with a private school. Liu Ze has fought a lot in recent years. I gradually understood a truth. During the Three Kingdoms, there was no shortage of famous generals and commanders who led the army, but what was lacking was a large number of excellent middle and lower-level officers. The morale of the army is weakened. There was no cohesion in the whole team at all. It's not that the manager is not capable enough. It's that there is no middle-level backbone in the team, which can easily cause a collapse. Compared with the Roman legions of the same era, it was the large number of excellent middle and lower-level officers. Even when the team loses its main general and faces a desperate situation, those middle and lower-ranking officers can bravely stand up and lead their teams to fight bloodily.

Therefore, Liu Ze has long had a consideration in his mind, to establish a military school to train various types of military talents, and these talents will undoubtedly become the cornerstone of the unit to which he belongs. But for a long time, Liu Ze has been trapped in the management of the military academy, a talent who can really be familiar with the changes in the marching and fighting formations, and Lu Zhi's arrival undoubtedly made his eyes shine. As a generation of Confucian marshals in the late Han Dynasty, Lu Zhi's military talent is not at all worse than his ability in scripture, three Tao and six strategies, all the art of war, all are refined, and what is even more rare is that he has experienced a hundred battles, theory and practice are mastered, and he is undoubtedly the best candidate for the principal of the military academy.

However, this is just Liu Ze's thoughts, the war between the princes and Dong is about to begin, and the establishment of the military academy can only be delayed.

"The teacher will live in peace first, and then say, the establishment of the school is not a matter of urgency, let's discuss it later."

Lu Zhi nodded, Dong Zhuo sent assassins several times to assassinate, but I am afraid that it will be difficult to have peace even if he returns to Zhuo County, and the plain is now under Liu Ze's rule, and there is no need to consider the safety issue.

"Ding County Cheng of this county resigned due to illness, and the position of county Cheng was temporarily vacant, I don't know if Brother Yu is willing to give in? Brother Yu is a 600-stone Lang official in the court, and I am only a county commander in the plains, so I can't give Brother Yu too high a position. "A few days ago, Ding County Cheng resigned due to illness, Liu Ze was preparing to arrange his own people to take up this position, and it happened that Lu Yu resigned from his official position in the court to accompany Lu Zhi back to his hometown, and it was very suitable for him to be the county leader.

Although it is said that the county magistrate does not have the right to appoint officials such as county lieutenants, Lin Hai relies on Liu Ze a lot, as long as it is a candidate nominated by Liu Ze, Lin Hai will generally not refuse.

Lu Yu in the court is just by virtue of Lu Zhi's shadow skills as a 600 stone Lang official, but the Lang officials are all nominal and fictitious, only take some money on weekdays, there is nothing to do at all, just arrived in the plain Liu Ze gave him the county Cheng the real position to sit, in charge of the civil affairs of a county, can't help but be overjoyed, even said thank you.

Liu Ze asked him to be the county minister, in fact, he handed over the government affairs of the entire Pingyuan County to him, and he freed himself up to take charge of the military affairs of the Pingyuan State, and he was about to carry out the war of the princes against Dong, and he had time to take care of the affairs of the Pingyuan. Lu Yu is his own person, and he will take care of the government affairs of the plains, so Liu Ze is naturally very relieved.

After settling Lu Zhi, Liu Ze devoted himself to the war of armament.

After more than a year of development, the number of Pingyuan County soldiers has increased to more than 15,000 people, in terms of equipment, Liu Ze is also willing to spend money, chain mail, fish scale armor is almost a piece of hand, and now the equipment of Pingyuan soldiers is almost no different from the five schools of the Northern Army of the Imperial Court. In terms of training, with the strict management of Chen Zhi and Guan Hai, the combat effectiveness of the soldiers has been markedly improved, and they are full of spirit and high morale.

Pan Feng got the latest information of Jinyingwei and reported to Liu Zeyu as soon as possible: "Cao Cao, the captain of the military academy, failed to assassinate Dong Zhuo, fled back to Chenliu, and received the funding of Wei Hong, a wealthy man in Chenliu, to issue an edict and recruit volunteers. Yangping people are happy to enter Le Wenqian, and Shanyang people Li Dian Li Mancheng defected to Cao Cao and used them as front officials. Cao Cao's brothers Cao Ren, Cao Hong, Xiahou Dun, and Xiahou Yuan also led thousands of men and horses to join Cao Cao, and now Cao Cao's army is extremely strong, and the grain and grass are abundant, and the banner of loyalty and righteousness is erected to denounce Dong Zhuo. The princes from all walks of life responded, and Yuan Shao, the Taishou of Bohai, had raised 30,000 troops, leaving Bohai to go to Sujube to meet with the princes from all walks of life. Yuzhou Assassin Shi Kong Ling and Changsha Taishou Sun Jian had engaged the Xiliang Army, and were defeated by Dong Zhuo's general Xu Rong in Yingchuan, and Yingchuan Taishou Li Min was captured and killed. ”

Liu Ze nodded, and as expected, the surging princes fighting against Dong had already begun.

At this time, the doorman came in to report, and Lin Hai, the minister of the plains, asked to see him.

Liu Ze had an idea, whispered a few words to Pan Feng, took off his coat, lay down on the couch, ordered someone to take a wet hand towel and put it on his forehead, and hummed in his mouth.

Not long after, Lin Hai came to the back hall accompanied by Pan Feng, and when he saw Liu Ze's appearance, he was taken aback, and said in a lost voice: "Captain Liu, what's going on?" ”

Liu Ze deliberately coughed twice, sighed and said: "There are unforeseen circumstances in the sky, people have good fortune and misfortune, the body and bones are okay two days ago, since yesterday, the high fever does not go away, coughing and wheezing, I don't know if I can get through it?" ”

"Don't say that, Liu Duwei is young, and this little illness and pain is still there? Have you ever sent a doctor to come for treatment? ”

"The doctor said that it was not too much of a problem, prescribed a few medicines, and said that he would be healthy in a month or two."

"It's good if it's out of the way." Lin Hai's face became a little uncomfortable, and his gaze wandered.

"I don't know why Prime Minister Lin came here today?" If you don't go to the Three Treasures Hall for nothing, Lin Hai will never come to the county office for no reason, and there will be a big event.

Lin Hai coughed lightly and said, "The prime minister came here today, and he really has something important to discuss with Liu Duwei, but Liu Duwei's body is ......."

"It doesn't matter. Ziyi, help me upβ€”"

Pan Feng immediately stepped forward to help Liu Ze up and sat on the couch.

Lin Hai hurriedly stopped: "Captain Liu is seriously ill, so there is no need to get up." ”

"It doesn't matter." Liu Ze sat on the couch, coughed a few times, and said, "I don't know what is important for Prime Minister Lin?" ”

"Dong Zhuo is good at abolishing the establishment, destroying the country and killing the king, defiling the palace ban, brutal and unkind, today under the righteous people, angry and begging for it, Bohai Taishou Yuan Gong Benchu, Dian Military Academy Captain Cao Gong Mengde has sent a letter to all counties and countries in the world, the world's righteous teachers, Xinghan to fight thieves. This document has traveled to the plain, and the prime minister came today to discuss this matter with Liu Duwei. When Lin Hai mentioned Yuan Shao, it was a look of respect.

"Then what is Prime Minister Lin's plan?" Liu Ze asked quietly.

"Benxiang was originally a protΓ©gΓ© of the Yuan family, and this time he raised the banner of righteousness to fight against thieves and prosper the Han, and it is incumbent on him to take the lead." Lin Haiyi said solemnly.

Liu Ze smiled indifferently and said: "Dong Zhuo is perverse and deceitful, everyone has to punish him, Lin Guoxiang is willing to respond to the righteous act, it is in accordance with the will of heaven, and the lower officials are also fully supportive." It's a pity that the lower official is seriously ill and can't come to the battlefield to beg the thief to serve the country, which is a pity! ”

Lin Hai was a little anxious. "The prime minister is a civilian official, he can't get on a horse, he can't carry a gun, he doesn't know anything about this march and fighting, even if he sends troops, he has to rely on Captain Liu."

In the past two years, the Yellow Turban has repeatedly violated the Plains, and it is precisely because of Liu Ze that the Plains Country is safe, and when Lin Hai thinks of sending troops to fight, he naturally has to discuss with Liu Ze first.

"Begging for thieves and rejuvenating the Han is an unshirkable duty for the generals, but the lower officials are now suffering from scabies, even if they have the heart, they are powerless. In this way, Lin Guoxiang went to the military camp to transfer three or five thousand people, quickly set up troops, and rushed to the sour date, if it is too late, I am afraid that it will not be easy to explain to the original prince. "Liu Ze pushes six, two, five, the soldiers can give it to you, but you have to fight this battle yourself.

"This ......" Lin Hai was a little worried, if he really wanted him to lead the troops to fight, it would be dark and he couldn't touch the north.

Liu Ze said leisurely: "But the lower official still has to remind Lin Guoxiang that the ferocity and brutality of the Xiliang soldiers are notoriously violent. A few days ago, the Xiliang soldiers invaded Yuzhou, defeated Yuzhou assassin Shi Kong Ling, and captured Li Min, the Taishou of Yingchuan......"

"What happened?"

"That Li Min was thrown into the cauldron by Xiliang Bing, cooked alive, and then divided and eaten, and even the bones were gnawed away." (To be continued......)
