Chapter 388: Some Things Can Only Be Understood
Both Zhao Yun and Li Yan believed that the emperor should not be allowed to come to Luoyang, which was exactly the same as Guo Jia's advice to Liu He a few months earlier. Try to guess, or before Zhao Yun came to Luoyang, it was Guo Jia who secretly told Zhao Yun this idea.
Unlike Cao Heizi's practice of welcoming the Son of Heaven in history to defeat the unsubordinate, Liu He in this time and space has no need to welcome the little emperor to Luoyang, and then act with the help of the banner of the Han family and the emperor, because his background is different from that of warlords such as Yuan Shao and Cao Cao!
The little emperor Liu Xie is a strange commodity for careerists such as Yuan Shao, Cao Cao and Liu Biao, as long as they hold the emperor in the palm of their hands, then they can occupy the name of righteousness, and then do the deeds of coercing the Son of Heaven to order the princes. But for Liu He, not only does he not need to hold the emperor hostage to establish a righteous name, but he wants to stay away from the emperor, so as not to cause trouble.
To use a simple analogy, if the current puppet emperor Liu Xie is the judge of the entire Han Dynasty, then Liu Yu, the Taifu who is far away in Jicheng, is the first alternate referee, and Liu He is the successor of the alternate referee.
So, under what circumstances does an alternate referee have a chance to replace a regular referee? Of course, it's when the referee has a problem! If Liu He's henchmen in Luoyang foolishly welcomed the little emperor into Luoyang, it would only stabilize Liu Xie's position as a regular referee, and as a result, Liu He, the alternate referee, would have no chance to win the supreme position.
As the authentic descendant of Liu Qiang, the first crown prince canonized by Liu Xiu, the founding emperor of the Eastern Han Dynasty, Liu Yu's father and son are the royal descendants of Genhong Miaozheng, as long as the current emperor Liu Xie's life has problems, this Han inheritance will have to fall on the head of Liu Yu's father and son.
A few years ago, although Liu Yu verbally rejected Yuan Shao and Han Fu's practice of supporting him as emperor, and Liu Yu was also loyal to the Han family and had absolutely no intention of usurping power and standing on his own, but when the current emperor hung up and the imperial power of the Han Dynasty could not be sustained, Liu Yu would definitely not sit idly by and watch the country surnamed Liu fall into the hands of outsiders. When the time comes. Liu Yu must have been arched to the emperor's throne by his good son Liu He.
To take this matter a little deeper, if Liu Yu's father and son and Emperor Liu Xie gather together "happily" in the eastern capital of Luoyang, with the current situation of warlords in various places supporting their troops and self-respect, everyone will definitely not put down their weapons and bow to Luoyang, and from then on they will be obedient subordinates with peace of mind, because this chaotic heart has completely aroused the desire for power of careerists. They will find all kinds of reasons and excuses, just like last time, to put a big, big "basin" on the heads of Liu Yu's father and son, and then everyone will play the banner of King Qin, and have a similar sour jujube alliance again. Treat Liu Yu's father and son as the second Dong Zhuo to crusade.
On the other hand, if the emperor and Liu Yu's father and son were always in two places, then the emperor would become the biggest target, and whoever controlled the emperor would attract the siege of warlords from all walks of life, so that Liu He would have enough time to reorganize the rivers and mountains according to his own layout. Moreover, once the emperor has a long and short term, Liu Yu and his son, as alternate "referees", will immediately be able to pull up the banner to escort King Qin. Just like the last time Liu He went to Chang'an, not only was he able to get extra points in terms of fame, but he also forced other forces to intervene.
In short, the emperor is powerful for non-royal clansmen. It is a hot and strange commodity, but for Liu He, it is an out-and-out hot "big taro". Once Liu He touched his hands, he would be so hot that his skin would peel off. The most important thing is to lose the foundation that was hard to lay.
It's just that there are things in this world that can only be understood, not spoken.
Even if Guo Jia saw Liu He's intention to win the Ninth Five-Year Plan. But Guo Jia would never say it in front of Liu He, he would only remind Zhao Yun on the grounds that if the emperor entered Luoyang, Luoyang would be besieged by all kinds of princes, instead of telling Zhao Yun that a certain prince actually wanted to see an unsightly fool kill the emperor.
Zhao Yun also saw Liu He's thoughts, as early as after Liu He took him to Chang'an but finally refused to enter Chang'an City because someone blocked him, Zhao Yun understood that Liu He was just earning a reputation for himself under the banner of King Qin. If Liu He really cared about the emperor's life or death, he would definitely do his best to enter Chang'an and stay by the emperor's side at that time.
However, Zhao Yun did not feel disgusted or worried about Liu He's thoughts, in Zhao Yun's opinion, if this chaotic world could not be governed by a wise person like Liu He, the chaotic situation would last for many more years. Why should the huge empire let the young man who doesn't know anything in Chang'an City govern it? Is it just because he is a descendant of Emperor Guangwu? But the eldest prince is also a descendant of Emperor Guangwu!
Li Yan also saw Liu He's thoughts, but not only was he not surprised, but he had a faint excitement and excitement. If Liu He sat on the dragon chair in the Luoyang Palace one day, how could he, Li Yan, as the first subordinate recruited by the emperor at the beginning, also ascend to the high position of the third duke?
Li Yan understands that the eldest prince will never say something to them, but they must understand in their hearts as subordinates, and sometimes they have to do it, even if it is a black pot on their backs.
The emperor can die in the Chang'an Imperial Palace, or he can be taken captive by the warlords elsewhere, but he must not come to Luoyang, because Luoyang City is the Luoyang City of the eldest prince Liu He, not the Luoyang City of the puppet emperor Liu Xie!
There will always be a day when everyone understands this meaning, but everyone must not say it......
Although Deng Hai couldn't think of it so deeply, he heard the crisis in Luoyang from Li Yan's words just now, and said: "Our Shenxi army has been guarding between Hangu Pass and Tongguan for the past few years, and the brothers have not complained at all, but when Chang'an is in chaos, if the ministers of the court and the central government protect the emperor to enter Luoyang through Hangu Pass, we can't beat them back, right?" ”
"Of course you can't fight back, if this situation really happens, your Shenxi army must not only protect the safety of the emperor and ministers, but also send troops to Chang'an, and the thieves who forced the emperor and ministers to run away, and then send the emperor back to the palace in Chang'an safe and sound!" Li Yan said slowly, with a look of righteousness on his face.
"Then what if Shen Xijun saw that the emperor was kidnapped by Yuan Shao's subordinates and went to Hedong or even Bingzhou?" Deng Hai asked with some humility.
"Then let them go! When the emperor arrived in the hands of Yuan Shao, he didn't dare to slack off at all, unless he wanted to become the target of the world! Zhang Yi couldn't help but speak.
"Well, I guess I get it." Deng Hai scratched the back of his head, revealing a harmless smile, which provoked several people in the hall to laugh.
Zhao Yunzhengse said: "Send someone to Hedong to send a message to Duan Xuan, saying that if Hedong cannot be defended, we can send him the area from Shaanxi County to Hanguguan, and allow him to lead the army to retreat here." Send someone to send a message to Zhang Yang in Hanoi, saying that the places north of Qinshui can be ceded to Yuan Shao, but the south of Qinshui must be defended, and at a critical time, I will send troops to cross the river to reinforce him! ”
Qu Meng reminded: "Yuan Shaojun's Wenchou Department has already controlled the Yiguan from Hedong to Hanoi, even if Zhang Yang has the heart to rely on Qinshui to block Yuan's army, now it is also a situation where the east and west are under attack, I am afraid that he will not even be able to hold these territories south of Qinshui at that time." ”
"Wen Chou...... It's an old acquaintance, I wonder if he dared to come to Hanoi after hearing that I came to Luoyang? Zhao Yun muttered to himself, not at all like he was joking, but it caused several people's bodies to tremble, and they almost suffocated their internal injuries.
"Zilong, do you want to send a general to garrison at the eastern end of Yiguan to prevent the Yuan army in Hedong from suddenly entering Hanoi. This can be regarded as a breath of encouragement for Zhang Yang, so as not to make him weak-hearted. Li Yan suggested.
Zhao Yun nodded and said: "What Zhengfang said is reasonable, Yiguan is the choke point from Hedong to and out of the Heluo region, and it really needs to be in our hands to ensure the safety of Luoyang." This is easy to defend and difficult to attack, and the number of troops required is not much, 2,000 people are enough, but the candidate for this defender is ...... I don't know what is suitable for Zhengfang? ”
Li Yan thought about it carefully and found that Luoyang's current reliable leader of the troops, in addition to Zhao Yun and himself, the rest were Deng Hai, Chen Gui and Jia Kui, Qu Meng could barely be counted, but Qu Meng was now in charge of the entire southern intelligence network, and his task was much more important than defending Yiguan. According to the previous practice, Deng Hai and Chen Gui were the deputy generals, and Li Yan commanded the Shen Xi army, which was just right to prevent changes in the direction of Chang'an; Jia Kui can be both civil and military, and he can lead the dragon and tiger to defend Luoyang at a critical time; Zhao Yun, as the military leader of Luoyang, had to borrow troops and horses from Zhu Jun at a critical time, and he commanded the three armies, so it was impossible for him to be a general guarding the pass.
After thinking about it like this, Li Yan was a little depressed to find that there was no suitable general to go to Yiguan.
Li Yan cast his helpless eyes on Zhao Yun, and Zhao Yun also replied to Li Yan with the same look, as if to say: Brother, don't blame me, I kicked you with such a problem.
"Hey, I think of a person, if I can subdue him, even if Wen Chou and Yan Liang attack Yiguan together, I'm afraid it won't be pleased!" Jia Kui, who had never spoken, suddenly patted his thigh and said loudly.
"Oh, there are people in Luoyang City who can rival Wen Chou and Yan Liang? Liang Dao, let's talk about it! Li Yan said with a twinkle in his eyes.
Zhao Yun listened to Jia Kui's words, thought in his heart, and secretly wondered: Could it be that the person Jia Kui mentioned is the person that Gongzi secretly confessed?
Jia Kui told Li Yan with some excitement: "This man is Zhang Miao's tribe who lives in Luoyang City, he is very majestic, and his body is only more than nine feet long, but unfortunately his face is a little ugly, which is disliked by the soldiers in the city." I also happened to hear a few of my subordinates in charge of military supplies chatting, and I realized that there is a strange thing in the world that one person eats more than ten people in one meal, so I went to see it......"
With Jia Kui's introduction, everyone's faces showed surprise, and even Zhao Yun was a little moved, wanting to see this warrior immediately. (To be continued......)
