Liu Wei left the Yeting Prison and returned to the secret room, where he recruited Cai Yong's father and daughter.

Cai Yong looked haggard and mentally exhausted, and it seemed that he was about to collapse under the pressure of his recent tasks, and the whole person was almost in a semi-short-circuit state. Cai Yan's condition is not very good, his face is a little pale, and his eyes are not as smart as before.

Liu Wei's heart warmed, no matter what Cai Yong had done before, at least they were doing their best to solve his troubles now.

"It still doesn't seem to have come to fruition."

"Your Majesty, the minister is incompetent." Cai Yong said ashamedly: "After searching for several days, I didn't get a word. ”

"That's it." Liu Wei waved his hand: "Confucianism has been in business for a hundred years and has done a clean job, which is also expected. Mr. Bo, I would like to ask about Feng Yi's mental method. How much do you know about Fengyi's mental method? ”

Cai Yong was stunned for a moment, hesitated for a long time, and then said: "I heard that Fengyi's mind is divided into four realms......

Liu Wei listened carefully and couldn't help but sigh secretly. People really don't have to be smart, some things don't know just don't know, no matter how smart they are. With Cai Yong's intelligence, his understanding of Feng Yi's mental method is far inferior to that of Ma Lun. However, he proved Ma Lun's statement from another aspect: whether it is the dragon-shaped cultivation map or the Fengyi Mental Method, it is likely that they all come from outside the Saiwai, because the two bloodlines of the dragon and the phoenix originally came from Kunlun Mountain, and the cultivation method should also come from Kunlun. If you want to go to Kunlun, there are only two roads: one goes west through Liangzhou, and the other goes west from the grassland.

The minister suddenly remembered something. Cai Yong suddenly said: "The Xianbei people may have a dragon-shaped atlas in their hands. ”

"Why do you say that?"

"More than 10 years ago, a heroic man suddenly appeared on the grassland. It's called Sandalwood Locust. The sandalstone locust has almost single-handedly unified the grassland, and its exploits are jaw-dropping. If it weren't for his untimely death, he would have invaded the Central Plains. Cai Yong's eyes lit up, and he seemed to have a sudden epiphany of excitement: "The minister occasionally heard that his death is somewhat similar to the situation of His Majesty at the moment. ”

"Since the sandalwood locust is also cold and poisonous, then why do you say that the Xianbei people may have a dragon-shaped atlas in their hands? With Atlas, will he still die? ”

Cai Yong shook his head: "Your Majesty, the young man of Tanshi Huai has already realized that he doesn't have a map." How can you live to be forty years old? And. Although Tanshi Huai died, he had two sons, which means that he had at least solved the problem of the heir, but he had not been able to cultivate to the Great Perfection. In the end, he just died of cold poison. ”

Liu Wei slowly twisted his fingers: "So to speak." I must go to the grasslands. ”

……

Liu Wei convened his close ministers to discuss. As soon as he opened his mouth, he was opposed by almost everyone.

Yang Xiu was the most vehemently opposed.

Shandong Weiping should take advantage of the opportunity of Songgao Mountain's victory to defeat Yuan Shao in one fell swoop. Remove the Führer first, and then break them individually. Now instead of attacking Shandong, but going to the Northern Expedition, it is tantamount to giving Yuan Shao a chance for reunification in vain. When Shandong is unified under Yuan Shao, what strength does the imperial court have to confront him, could it be that His Majesty is killing all sides alone?

That's right, His Majesty is a real dragon, but the dragon wants water, you go to the desert with bitter cold and little water to fight with the Hu people, instead of going to how many Shandong to fight, isn't it too long to give up and use too short? Whoever gave His Majesty this idea, should be killed!

Xun You echoed Yang Xiu's opinion, and he also thought that it was most reasonable to send troops to Shandong at this moment. Even if it can't level Shandong in one fell swoop, at least it can hit Yuan Shao hard. Once Yuan Shao's strength was damaged, he could no longer command Confucianism and Shandong. Even if you can't defeat all of them in a short period of time, you can avoid Yuan Shao from sitting big.

Liu Wei was very happy, Yang Xiu and Xun You said this, which showed that they were sincerely thinking about the imperial court, rather than vainly wronging snakes. However, he also has his considerations. For him, if he can't solve the trouble of the cold invasion of his body, he will not only be in danger of being extinct, but he may also die at any time. Absolute heir, there is Liu Xie who can succeed to the throne, and if he dies, then the trouble will be big, even if Liu Xie succeeds to the throne, he will not be able to keep the Han Dynasty.

If he wants to restrain Yuan Shao, who has phoenix eggs, he must cross this hurdle. If you cross the past, everything will be fine, but if you can't cross it, the overthrow of the Han Dynasty is inevitable, just like in history.

"If you can't recapture the dragon-shaped guide map, you can't solve the cold poison, and my time is running out." Liu Wei stretched out his hand, looked at Yang Xiu, and then at Xun You, "Which of you would like to try?" ”

Yang Xiu stretched out his hand suspiciously, touched Liu Wei's hand, and instantly understood. He immediately asked: "Your Majesty Northern Expedition Xianbei, what should I do in Luoyang?" ”

"There is the imperial master sitting in Luoyang, and Yuan Shao can't come in." Liu Wei said with a smile: "Didn't you say it just now, he first wants to unify Shandong." ”

Yang Xiu sighed: "It seems that it has to be like this." ”

Xun You's eyes flashed, and he bowed down and said, "Your Majesty, the minister is willing to follow His Majesty to the Northern Expedition." ”

"Of course, marching and fighting, how can you be without this military strategy."

……

Liu Wei walked into Huangfu Song's mansion, and Huangfu Song, who was closed to greet him, rushed to the front court to greet him. As soon as they met, Huangfu Song fell to the ground and burst into tears.

After not seeing him for a few days, Huangfu Song lost a lot of weight, and his eye sockets were deeply sunken.

"Taifu mourns." Liu Wei helped Huangfu Song up, caressed him to the hall, and after taking a seat, he said: "Aunt Ling's death, I'm afraid there is no conspiracy." Dong Zhuo is crazy, and there is no wind and no waves. ”

"Majesty, what are you ......" Huangfu Song was puzzled, thinking that Liu Wei was interceding for Dong Zhuo, but he glanced at Liu Wei and knew that things were far stricter than he imagined.

Liu Wei said about Fengyi's mental method, Fengyi's mental method may have a method to detoxify cold poison, and the only person who knows the inside story of Fengyi's mental method is Ma's. Huangfu Gui's widow is one of them. Dong Zhuo went crazy and killed people, maybe it was not that there was no wind and waves, but that someone was secretly arranging to cut off this clue so that he could not find a way to cure the cold poison.

Now, he knew from Ma Lun's mouth that Fengyi's heart method came from the grassland, and Cai Yong also said that the Xianbei people might even have a dragon-shaped guide map in their hands, whether it was true or not, he had to rush to the grassland, and Luoyang had to entrust it to Huangfu Song.

Huangfu Song was silent for a long time: "How many soldiers does Your Majesty need?" ”

Liu Wei comprehended: "I will leave 20,000 soldiers for Taifu, and then transfer troops from Guanzhong." Lieutenant Ling went out with him. ”

……

Tang Tao hurriedly walked into the secret room and saluted Liu Wei, who closed his eyes and rested.

Liu Wei slowly opened his eyes and looked at Tang Tao. Tang Tao is Tang Ying's brother. Tang Ying became the queen, the Tang family flourished, and Tang Tao, a street gangster, also became a royal prince. Liu Wei saw that he was clever, so he made him Langzhong and went to Shandong with Liu Xie.

"Say it."

"Yui!" Tang Tao started to step forward, but Liu Wei smiled: "Just stand there and say, there is a smell of rouge, Xunren." ”

Tang Tao was embarrassed. I had to answer. He stood where he was and spoke.

He rushed back from Shandong, just to report one thing personally: Yuan Shao led the Shandong people to express their feelings and wanted to support Liu Xie as the emperor. Liu Xie resigned from the throne, but promised to be willing to make a statement to the Son of Heaven. Reuse the gentleman. Far away from the villain. Reorganization of the dynasty.

Liu Wei laughed silently: "It seems that none of them are stupid, they are all smart people." ”

Tang Tao was inexplicable.

……

Niu Fu sat on Dong Zhuo's left side, and Li Ru sat under him. The two of them bowed their heads, grimaced and were silent.

Zhang Liao sat on the right side, Wang Yun sat beside him, the two looked at each other, Zhang Liao stood up, and arched his hand: "Taiwei, Your Majesty has an edict." ”

Dong Zhuo's face twitched, and he struggled to turn over and sit up, panting for breath. Ushisuke rushed over and carefully helped him up. Dong Zhuo walked down the steps and smiled apologetically: "Wen Yuan, a certain old and weak idiot is rude." ”

Zhang Liao smiled: "Dong Gong should be strong and loyal to the country, which is admirable and respectable." ”

"Alas, old confused, old confused." Dong Zhuo waved his hand with a look of remorse: "I was mistakenly made by a traitor and made such a big mistake." A faceless goodbye, only waiting for a dead ear. ”

"His Majesty said that Dong Gong has fought all his life, and if he wants to die, he should die on the battlefield, and he should not die under the knife and pen." Zhang Liao stepped forward, stretched out his hand to support Dong Zhuo's arm, and whispered a few words in his ear. Dong Zhuo listened, raised his eyebrows, and after a while, slowly relaxed.

"In this way, wait for a certain to discuss with his subordinates, and then give Wen Yuan a reply."

Zhang Liao smiled: "This is natural. ”

……

Zhang Liao and Wang Yun left, and Dong Zhuo called Niu Fu, Li Ru and his younger brother Dong Min to the inner room.

"Your Majesty wants to personally conquer Xianbei and order me to lead the army to accompany you, what do you think?"

Niu Fu was silent, Li Ru frowned slightly, twisted his beard and did not speak. When Dong Min saw it, he opened his mouth first: "Brother, could this be His Majesty's transfer of the tiger from the mountain?" My brother's foundation is in Liangzhou, and most of the athletes under his command are also from Liangzhou, when the first emperor transferred you to merge the state, it almost caused a big chaos, and now His Majesty is going to recruit you to merge the state, will it be the same idea? ”

Dong Zhuo was noncommittal, and turned his head to look at Li Ru: "Wenyou, what is your opinion?" ”

Li Ru coughed: "Confucianism thinks that the Taiwei should obey the edict." ”

"Oh?" Dong Zhuo dragged out his voice, and his eyes were a little unkind.

Li Ru remained silent: "Taiwei, there are three benefits to the edict, and there are three harms to resist the edict." ”

"Which three benefits, which three evils?"

"If you go out on the expedition with an edict, you can continue to control the military power, win the trust of the Son of Heaven, and block the mouths of the people. If there is merit in the battle, the Taiwei can redeem the merit, and if he dies in battle, the Taiwei will also sacrifice his life for the country, and there will be mourning after his death, and the saints of the Dong family will not be reduced. If you go out to resist the edict, you will be a rebel, and your military power will not be guaranteed, and the soldiers will not be attached. His Majesty waved his master into the customs, Taiwei was a sinner, his head was different, and the three clans of the Dong family were implicated, following in the footsteps of Huangfu. ”

Dong Min and Niu Fu looked at each other.

The focus of Li Ru's words is not Dong Zhuo, Dong Zhuo is too old and has committed such many crimes, if he does not kill him, the Son of Heaven will not be able to explain to the Huangfu clan. However, when he died on the battlefield, he was loyal to the country, and the Son of Heaven could let others go. Resist the edict, he is a rebel, and when the time comes, not only will he die, but also those who are related to him will die, Dong Min and Niu Fu are also among them.

Should Dong Zhuo go to the battlefield alone, or let Dong be with him all the time?

This choice is not difficult.

Even in the case of Dong Zhuo himself, this is a choice with no doubt: if he sets out from the Son of Heaven, if he makes meritorious contributions, he may still have a glimmer of life, and he will definitely die if he resists the edict. Yes, your foundation is in Liangzhou, but is your appeal in Liangzhou greater than that of the Huangfu clan? Is your strength stronger than that of the Son of Heaven who has a dragon? What are your chances of winning against the Son of Heaven who has a dragon?

The corners of Dong Zhuo's eyes twitched twice, and he sighed...... (To be continued......)
