Chapter 44 of the middle volume is the blood of the deer

PS: Hexi Wang Fuqu Mengxun is a once-in-a-century slippery head. At the beginning of the Northern Expeditionary Army, he wrote to Zhu Lingshi, saying that "Fu Wen Che Cavalry General Yu wants to clear the Central Plains, and is willing to drive out the captives for the right wing." "Sworn and impassioned. However, seeing that the Jin army really destroyed Yao Qin, and fearing that it would take advantage of the victory to advance westward, the "captive" face of the Huns was exposed. When he heard the news, it happened that his subordinate Liu Xiang entered the palace to perform something, and Meng Xun had nowhere to go out with a nameless fire in his stomach, so he was angry with this poor man who hit the spearhead, and said What's the matter with you, are you very excited when you hear Liu Yu enter the customs? How dare you dance like this! At the sound of an order, drag it out and cut off the head. However, Hexi is remote, at most an insignificant enemy, or a friend who can't help, let him go!

Liu Yu was not energetic when he got up early in the morning. To say that he slept well last night, for a person in his fifties, it is already a blessing to not stay up at night, not to dream, and to sleep twice in one breath until the rooster crows. Rao is like this, he still feels that something is wrong, and his eyelids are jumping.

What could be the problem?

Tuoba Xianbei's side is definitely not happy for the Jin people to occupy Guanzhong, but at least there is no aggressive movement at present. As soon as the Yellow River was defeated, he was angry, and he would not dare to fight with the Beifu soldiers for a while.

On the side of Rouran Great Xia, Helian Bobo had long coveted Guanzhong, but at present, it seems that the only result of the battle is to occupy Anding, and the rest is just to pocket some small towns north of the Qinling Mountains. Liu Yu's idea was not to take the initiative to attack Great Xia, but to maintain a ** relationship that was neither enemy nor friend, and designed to provoke a fight between Rouran and Tuoba Wei, so that the Great Jin could reap the benefits.

Hexi Wang Fuqu Mengxun is a slippery head that has not been encountered in a century. At the beginning of the Northern Expeditionary Army. He wrote to Zhu Lingshi, saying something "Fu Wen Che Cavalry General Yu wants to clear the Central Plains." I am willing to drive out the captives for the right wing. "Swear. Vehement. However, seeing that the Jin army really destroyed Yao Qin, and fearing that it would take advantage of the victory to advance westward, the "captive" face of the Huns was exposed. When he heard the news, it happened that his subordinate Liu Xiang entered the palace to perform something, and Meng Xun had nowhere to go out with a nameless fire in his stomach, so he was angry with this poor man who hit the spearhead, and said What's the matter with you, are you very excited when you hear Liu Yu enter the customs? How dare you dance like this! At the sound of an order, drag it out and cut off the head. However, Hexi is remote. At most, an insignificant enemy, or a friend who can't help, let him go!

Looking outward, it's mostly unharmed.

Looking inward, there is an undercurrent.

Guanzhong shape shì, as expected. A few days ago, more than 100,000 Qiang people refused to surrender to the Han people, and they rose west into Long, and Shen Linzi led people to chase after them, holding more than 10,000 people. In fact, these people are dispensable. It's better to run, so you don't have to stay in Guanzhong and wait for the opportunity to make trouble.

The troublesome thing is to move the capital. The Jin Dynasty was originally founded in the north, and in the Yongjia Rebellion, the Sima clan ran south across the river. Prefer to be healthy. Liu Yu made two northern expeditions, one to destroy Murong Yan and one to destroy Yao Qin. Guanzhong, the Central Plains, and Shandong were connected into one, and the territory of the Jin Dynasty crossed the Yellow River from the Yangtze River all the way to the north. According to Liu Yu's thoughts. At this time, the national capital can no longer defend Jiangnan. It should go to the Central Plains. It is said that Guanzhong is the first in the world, and it is the first choice for building the capital Zongmiao, but now Guanzhong has been war-torn for a long time, farming is abandoned, the city is withered, and there are strong enemies all around, so it is indeed not suitable to be the home of the Son of Heaven. In order to settle for the second, at least the capital should be moved north to Luoyang. Luoyang wants to say that the danger of mountains and rivers is not as good as Chang'an. But there is also the danger of Longmen, Yique, and Tiger Prison, and the trenches of the Great River, Luoshui, and Yishui. More importantly, the Jin army's naval division is unparalleled in the world, and it can use the waterway to transport Jiangdong reinforcements and supplies from all over the world, without the fear of poverty. Liu Yuman thought: When such an idea comes out, the Sima royal family is not afraid of trouble, and must be unwilling to toss, but his subordinates should support it. The royal capital was moved to the north, cutting off the foundation of the Sima clan in Jiangdong for a hundred years, making it easier to control it. With the new territory and the establishment of new states and counties, everyone can be a prince, wouldn't it be more profitable?

As soon as the idea came out, no one responded, and the most confidant shook his head. Wang Zhongde, a counselor and member of the army, found Liu Yu privately and said that the lieutenant only saw the good and did not see the bad. The generals of the Northern Expeditionary Army, most of them are from Jiangdong, and their small ancestral businesses are all over there, and it's okay to have a lively fight with the Taiwei for a while, but you are not happy to let them work in the northwest for a long time. Although this was once the imperial capital, it can't be compared with Jiangdong now. These hard-working generals are looking forward to going back to enjoy a period of happiness, but it is strange that you let your family suffer here, and people's hearts are not shaken. This is true of the generals, and even more so of the small soldiers, who are just mixed rations, looking forward to the end of the war and going back to live a small life. If it is really Luoyang, it means that they will have to fight and kill for the next ten years, stay away from their relatives and bury their bones in a foreign land. How can you expect such an army that is not at ease from top to bottom? Besides, if you propose to move the capital, I am afraid that the people who originally supported you in the court will all oppose you, and when the time comes, your army will be outside and the court will be isolated, and the situation will be out of control. The matter of moving the capital still needs to be considered in the long run, and the captain must think twice.

Liu Yu had to admit that Wang Zhongde had a point.

Leading soldiers is like taming a beast, if you are not careful, you will be eaten by a fierce beast. These generals are willing to follow you from birth to death, not because they love you wholeheartedly, not because you are a saint who must be worshiped by all people, and not because you are the leader appointed to them by God, but because they believe that following you can get great benefits. It's not that there are no people who have a passion to open up territory for the country, but over the years, such people don't have many words to be honest, they either shed blood because of their surging blood, or they became slippery in the ups and downs of internal and external wars, and the rest of them joined the military, in fact, there is no substantial difference between a young man and a grocery store. Following Liu Yu, you can change from a small soldier to a captain, from a captain to a general, from a general to a minister, and become a feudal official in glory and wealth. Titles, seals, opening houses, and honor guards, these are all fictitious, genuine and tangible things, your family has a large area of fertile land, there are several lifetimes of gold and silver in the library, and the children are already eating the country's money as soon as they are born, and they have lived in the pavilions and pavilions far from humble labor for generations. These generals, when they listen to the monks, they nod their heads frequently, and when they turn around to fight for fame and fortune, they will forget what it means to be overlooked. There are a lot of people who make mistakes. There are many people who are in prison, and many people who have lost their heads. But who have you ever seen turned away because of this? Again, once you can't offer that anymore. You're going to deprive them of these, you've set up roadblocks for them, who will follow you bitterly from birth to death? Once these people don't stand behind you, don't look at you as powerful, hot, prestigious, and prestigious, and you will become a loner in the blink of an eye, and a little jailer can trample you in the dung heap and let you pee on yourself; A little executioner can take power at the last minute and decide whether to give you a knife in a quick and instant way, or deliberately not to cut your neck bone. Let you struggle for a long time as life is better than death. Liu Yu and Taiwei Liu are certainly the clouds that cover their heads over the heads of the generals, but they are also the trickles of countless rivers on the ground, relying on transpiration to maintain the nobility of the clouds. In case of a major drought, the sky of the Jin Dynasty will be cloudless.

No! We must not go our own way.

The result of Liu Yu's inner compromise was that he stayed in Chang'an and personally commanded the army to pass through the northwest, so that he could order and prohibit it and stabilize the army's heart.

The idea. The imperial court must have supported it. Precisely, the imperial court would rejoice. It's not because the Sima clan still has the old country in their hearts and tries to restore the old fox ancestor Sima Yi's father and son, but they are very happy that Liu Yu is not hanging in front of them. This is also understandable. A court whose life is kept again and again by others, eats other people's short mouths. If the person is not there when eating, it may be more comfortable. The people of the Sima family are against Liu Yu. Thankful to Dade on his face, he gritted his teeth in his bones. Yao Xing, the first king of Yao Qin, once asked the children of the Sima clan who were exiled to the Qin State. said that Liu Yu pacified the civil strife in Huan Xuan and eliminated Sun En's anti-thieves, it was the time of the revival of the Jin Dynasty, you didn't stay well, why did you run out? The other party replied that Liu Yu was eliminating the thieves and at the same time he was not stopping to eliminate the capable people in the royal family, didn't he understand his intentions? Now that Yao Qin has fallen, Liu Yu's credit is greater and the popularity is higher, and the Sima clan is even more desperate and resentful. A few days ago, the imperial court issued an edict, and Liu Yu's title was promoted from Duke of Song to King of Song, and the fief was increased by ten counties. In fact, the previous Duke of Song had stayed on paper because Liu Yu refused to accept it. He could imagine how much controversy would be attracted by becoming a king, after all, previous history had shown that a powerful minister climbed to this height, and he was one step away from taking the crown.

After laying down Chang'an, he did not live in the Qin Palace, so as not to let people say that he was ambitious. He looked at Yao Shao's house and liked the simplicity there, so he moved in. But those who served him were all eunuchs and palace maids in the Qin Palace. At the moment, breakfast has been arranged. The first breakfast a few days ago scared Liu Yu, obediently, where to eat, it is simply a garden, there are so many kinds that people don't know how to put down chopsticks. Liu Yu angrily scolded the eunuchs, asking them to put away this set, and only one or two side dishes for breakfast were enough, and those who dared to be so extravagant would be severely punished. The eunuchs were scared. Today's breakfast, a pot of red dates and millet porridge, a few baked hu cakes with meat filling, a plate of Guanzhong pickles, and a small bowl of dried fish brought by Jiangdong. When Liu Yu was half-full, the eunuch in charge came over and knelt down with a square plate, saying that Taiwei forgave his sins, I saw that Taiwei was working hard, and prepared a tonic for Taiwei on his own initiative, and begged Taiwei to use a bowl. For the sake of the captain's health, I am willing to be punished.

Liu Yu was very curious, and ordered to bring it over to take a look, and the red bowl seemed to be blood, and he was slightly shocked. The eunuch said that it was the blood of the deer. It is to cut open the heart of a live deer, take out the blood inside, and drink it while it is hot, which can make people's ears and eyes clear, and can make the teeth strong and blue for a long time, and the appearance will not be old.

Liu Yu has always rejected all kinds of luxury and enjoyment, and hates his subordinates to find ways to please Shangfeng, but at this moment, he was touched by a thought, and said softly, It is rare for you to see that I am uncertain today. Reaching out to take the small bowl, he hesitated slightly at the faint fishy smell, held his breath and swallowed it, and then quickly drank two mouthfuls of porridge. With a wave of his hand, the eunuch stepped back.

Ageless.

This one is very tempting.

He wasn't the kind of person who was superstitious about cultivating immortals and immortality, but he needed to live as many years as he could now. It's not that you want to eat more bowls of rice, wear more clothes, and sleep with more women, but you need to finish everything you want to do. Everything in the world is up to people, you are in one situation, and you are in another situation. Raising troops for the Northern Expedition, expelling Rong Di, returning to the old capital, and rebuilding a peaceful country is not something that anyone is willing to do, if you die, there may be no one to relay this matter. He has asked his staff to tell him Zhuge Liang's "Leaving the Teacher's Table" countless times, every time he hears "Now the south has been decided, the armor is sufficient, when the commander of the three armies, the north is set in the Central Plains, the army is exhausted, the traitors are eliminated, the Han dynasty is restored, and the old capital is returned", he will be enthusiastic, and he will feel that Zhuge Liang died of premature exhaustion, and his strategy and ambition are beyond the reach of his successor. People said that he had ambitions to replace Sima as emperor. To be honest, he does have this idea now, but he thinks that being an emperor is not just to enjoy the supreme glory of his ministers going down the mountain to call for long live, the real temptation is that once you become an emperor, you can reorganize the mountains and rivers according to your own ideas, and there are endless manpower and financial resources for you to drive, get rid of those turtle kings who don't help but only add chaos, unload the burden of taxes imposed on the shoulders of the people by stupid monarchs and ministers, and drive all kinds of Diyi who bullied the Han people back to their hometowns.

Suddenly, there was a hint of vigilance.

A few days ago, the eunuch prepared a sumptuous breakfast, and was scolded by himself; Today I prepared a bowl of deer hard work, but I was commended. Is there a difference between the two? Isn't it all what it likes? Thinking about it carefully, this eunuch is terrible, not only can he see that I am uncertain, but also dare to take the risk of being punished and take the initiative to make sacrifices, I can't help but say that my scheming is profound. If I get used to him, won't I gradually rely on him and trust him, and become like the emperors of the Later Han Dynasty who were held hostage by eunuchs? Since you may become an emperor, you have to be a different emperor, and you can't follow this stupid old path.

Thinking of this, he called Ding Yi and asked him to immediately dismiss all the eunuchs and palace maids in the mansion, and hand over the personal care to the officers and soldiers of the Baizhi team.

After doing this, I am relieved that I still have the ability to introspect.

asked Ding Yi to bring a hard bow, stood in the courtyard and pulled it dozens of times, until his arms were sore and could not be sustained, and his whole body was sweating thinly, and the whole person was much more refreshed.

He returned to the main hall and sat down, and asked someone to summon Wang Zhen Evil, wanting to talk to him about the next step in sending troops westward.

The herald walked on his front feet, and the sound of horses' hooves was heard outside the door of the house. Ding Yi went out to watch the movement, and Xu Yi led a sweaty man in. Although it was late autumn, this person was sweating profusely, his chest and clothes were soaked, and the white flowers on his boots were all dirt, and he couldn't distinguish the original skin color. On his back he carried a cloth bag, and from the outside, there was a cylindrical tube inside. In addition to the cloth belt of the bag itself, a rope is used to tie the cloth bag tightly around the body.

Urgent messenger.

It can be seen from the clothes that this person is not a military envoy set up by the Beifu soldiers on the Northern Expedition route, but a captain of the Taiwei Mansion who came directly from Jiangdong.

Liu Yu was a little nervous. If there were no major events, Jiangdong would not have sent people directly like this.

Ding Yi stepped forward to help untie the rope, but the person who came waved his hand, took off the copper hairpin pinned to the bun from the top of his head, unscrewed it with both hands, and it turned out to be a hollow tube, and poured out a thin roll of paper from it. It turned out that the cloth bag was just a cover-up ornament.

Liu Yu unfolded it carefully with his own hands, and the first thing he saw was the words behind:

"Who can succeed him?"

continued to open it, only to understand a total of two sentences, "who can succeed the Jun Cut" is the second sentence.

The first sentence stunned Liu Yu at once:

"Xin Wei, Liu Mu's pawn." (To be continued......)
