After Guan Yu finished saying this, he saw that the ministers under the stairs were manic again! In such a short period of time, everyone's expressions continued to fluctuate with Guan Yu's speech, and everyone's joy became complicated again as soon as these words came out, and many people had embarrassed expressions on their faces, as the prime minister, Guan Yu was going to get married, this is a big deal! Many people here are all pulled up by him, many people are deeply affected by high-ranking officials, all of them are deeply affected by the kindness that Guan Yu brought to them, so far the opportunity is the "great opportunity" expressed to Guan Yu, but Guan Yu proposed to refuse to accept the gift, which inevitably makes many people a little "discouraged" and puzzled, how can you go to dinner without a ceremony to participate in the wedding, this makes some sense, but thinking of Guan Yu's previous practice, everyone began to realize that this master does have his own style of doing things, just like the previous New Year, Guan Yu also refused to accept the gifts from the ministers, which made many people feel embarrassed, and this time Guan Yu once again proposed "free gifts", which may be his usual style

Just when a group of people were whispering in surprise, Guan Yu then spoke: "Next, I want to talk about the third thing, what is it?" That is the problem of achieving a big breakthrough in diplomacy, some time ago I led a team to pacify and merge the state, providing a stable rear for the imperial court, free from worries, but now there are still many forces around the imperial court that need to be pacified, and there are still many secessions that have not yet been recovered, among which the larger ones are Yuan Shao and Cao Cao and Yuan Shu, the current imperial court is at a critical moment of reform and we have no time to fight again, and when the reform is completed, it is a matter of course to clean them up, although this is the case, but they cannot be allowed to go unpunished, From now on, it is necessary to weaken their power and prevent them from continuing to grow bigger and stronger, and for this reason the imperial court should take active policy measures and necessary means to contain them. It is necessary for us to issue an edict in the name of the imperial court, so that these princes can comply, and what needs to be solved urgently now is to form an edict to Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu and Sun Quan as soon as possible, so that these three princes can attack Cao Cao from three sides, and we will also send troops in Luoyang, and the four armies will attack Cao Cao. Cao Cao is enough for him to choke, Cao Cao is the biggest threat to my Luoyang, he has twice attacked Luoyang to force the palace, this thief is not removed, Luoyang will never have peace, so we must weaken Cao Cao as the first priority of the current struggle to study and solve, and then we will do specific work on this matter, this work may involve you, everyone must work hard to cooperate and actively complete their mission! ”

After Liu Bei heard this, he first came out and said: "When Cao Cao's new defeat and vitality are greatly damaged, why not raise a large army to defeat Cao Thief Shandong in one fell swoop!" ”

"Definitely! Cao Cao commanded the elite generals of Dongjun, Yanzhou, Qingzhou, and Xuzhou, although he suffered a temporary setback. However, the strength is still there, and there is no shortage of fierce generals under his command, if you want to completely eliminate him in a short period of time, you must slowly consume and wait for us to raise a large army to attack before it can be pacified! Guan Yu analyzed.

Liu Bei continued unrelentingly: "It's a pity to lose such an opportunity!" When we raise a large army to attack Cao Cao, won't we have developed strength, and it will still be difficult to clean up when the time comes! ”

"Definitely! We can carry out reform and cultivation, but I said that Cao Cao will not be able to rest in peace, our current advantage is incomparable to any external forces, and with Your Majesty, we can issue an edict with the will of the imperial court to mobilize all the princes. This is the so-called order of the princes, with this advantage we can force the other princes to comply. Let them keep attacking Cao Cao, and Cao Cao will not be able to rest, and the other princes will not be able to rest, and we will be able to create a stable external environment until we have successfully completed the great cause of reform, and if we have advanced the cause of reform for three consecutive years. After all, one year is too short, and it is really not possible to promote two years, what will be our strength in two years? Conservatively speaking, it is above all the princes, and it is exaggerated to say that it is not impossible to achieve the same level of defeat against several princes, once such an advantage exists. So who else in the world can resist our might? We sweep the universe and the revival of the Han family is just around the corner! And our advantage today can achieve such a goal for us, which is reasonable and possible! Guan Yu analyzed to everyone again.

Guan Yu's words stand in place long-term analysis in place profoundly revealed the future trend, the head of the analysis is the Tao said that everyone is impressed, we see the future development prospects and a better future, of course, Guan Yu is also more admired, since Guan Yu came to power, the affairs of the imperial court have gradually stepped on the right track, the various undertakings are thriving, the court is upright, the reforms are steadily advancing, the internal and external environment remains basically stable, and the whole region has presented a new atmosphere, which is completely different from the Dong Zhuo period. The most important thing is that Guan Yu's governing style is completely different from Dong Zhuo's, and he is even more like two people, Dong Zhuo's absurdity and unscrupulous chaos is a big scourge, and Guan Yu is just the opposite, he is aggressive and young, steadily advancing various undertakings and work, being low-key and conservative, his positive actions have won unanimous praise from the court, and Guan Yu has also placed new hopes on Guan Yu in the hearts of the people, in this case, Guan Yu does not want to push the people under his rule into the abyss of war again in a short period of time, Guan Yu was forced to be involved in various wars before, and has always been in a passive state, but he has won, Guan Yu has never taken the initiative to war, he firmly believes that his future reform will be successful, and if his reform is successful, then the pattern of the entire Han Dynasty will achieve a fundamental change, which is a grand strategy and a great wisdom.

Looking at the current Guan Yu sitting in Xiliang, Yongzhou, Bingzhou and Sizhou, these states, but also has the entire Guanzhong region, the area can be described as vast, the land can be said to be the first among the princes, this is an advantage of Guan Yu, but Guan Yu has a clear understanding of this, the territory is vast but the population under the rule is only more than 4 million, and then look at the strength of other princes Yuan Shao and Cao Cao have a population of more than 8 million, Liu Biao more than 5 million, Sun Ce more than 5 million, Liu Zhang more than 5 million, Gongsun Zhan 2.7 million, Yuan Shu is more than 5 million, such a simple comparison can find that Guan Yu's strength does not have any advantage among the princes at all, and the gap between Yuan Shao and Cao Cao is still very large, this is the reality, the number of population directly restricts the expansion of future troops, and the significance of population to the war is self-evident.

Although it is an indisputable fact that although it has a vast area and a relatively small population, it is also an important reason why Guan Yu wants to push forward the reform for two years instead of one year, if the reform can be carried out smoothly. Under the rule, you can recuperate and recuperate, the population will naturally increase, the population will increase, and the source of soldiers will naturally increase, and it will lay the foundation for the future. Although the population under the rule is relatively small, but Guan Yu's military strength is still considerable, at present, but Luoyang has a force of 200,000 troops, if you count the entire rule, the strength of the army is enough to have 400,000, such a force is still considerable, in the princes still have a certain advantage, this is Guan Yu is more satisfied, there is a point that Guan Yu still has a certain advantage over other princes, that is, Guan Yu's financial income, especially the income from several times to collect those magnates, actually exceeded 10 million taels of silver. Such a huge treasury can allow Guan Yu to do a lot of things, and it is not a problem to feed the army, even if there is a war, it can provide sufficient food and grass

It is based on the above understanding to learn from each other's strengths, Guan Yu revised and formulated a new strategy, this strategy is more practical and feasible than the previous one, more pragmatic and effective, Guan Yu also carefully analyzed the current general trend, once in the late Han Dynasty, especially later, Zhuge Liang did not come out of the fledgling and knew the world three points, but the current situation is obviously not three points, and the future cannot be three points. The three-point world has been broken, and it was once said that Cao Cao occupied the sky, Sun Quan stood in a favorable position, and Liu Bei occupied people. Now it seems really a little incredible, saying that Cao Cao occupied the sky when this was basically broken, and now Cao Cao basically did not occupy the heavenly time, and this day was just occupied by Guan Yu; Besides, it is impossible for Liu Bei to occupy people, and he has to follow Guan Yu to do things under Guan Yu's account, and this person will naturally belong to Guan Yu; Besides, Sun Quan occupies a favorable land, which may be somewhat reliable. After all, Sun Ce has already occupied Jiangdong now, so it is estimated that Guan Yu is the biggest winner in the future, at least now he has accounted for two. Maybe people and this article are not enough, but Guan Yu firmly believes that this will be made up for through reform, and his kindness will be distributed in the universe through reform.

Guan Yu's meeting was a relatively important meeting. Although the meeting is not an enlarged meeting, it sets the general tone of future development, it is a full adjustment of the previous reform meeting, the previous reform work set a period of one year, this meeting adjusted to more than 2 years, such a speed of development is more realistic, as a leader, especially after being the prime minister, every step is related to the overall situation, "the height is not cold" This is the deepest experience as a high-level person, since serving as the prime minister, Guan Yu especially felt this, In the face of this mess full of holes, it is really difficult to do a career, but with strong military power, Guan Yu after a year of hard work, the whole rule began to get on the right track, if it continues for two years, the whole cause will definitely have a big improvement, this is a beautiful vision, of course, it also exists in a reasonable range, is Guan Yu's scientific control of the situation. After setting this tone, the entire DPRK and the Central Committee were busy with the matter of reform.

Liu Bei was promoted to the position of Tai Lieutenant, ranked as the third duke, plus the identity of the emperor's uncle, and is the sworn brother of Cheng Guan Yu, Liu Bei of this identity can't help but be a little fluttering, the position of Tai Lieutenant is in charge of the country's military affairs, originally the post of Tai Lieutenant is the highest military commander in the country like the Prime Minister and the Imperial Doctor, in the Han Dynasty, the Tai Lieutenant is nominally the highest official in charge of the military in the central government, and the "Prime Minister", "Yu Shi Dafu" (the Eastern Han Dynasty is Situ, Sikong) and "Three Princes". However, in fact, it was only a fictitious position with an additional title, and the names of officials at all levels at the central and local levels in the Western Han Dynasty basically followed the system of the Qin Dynasty. However, unlike the Qin Dynasty, three parallel bureaucratic systems were established under the emperor, namely the outer court officials led by the prime minister, the inner court officials led by the great generals, and the court officials who handled the private affairs of the emperor and the imperial family. Among them, the foreign court officials are the highest administrative power of the central government of the Western Han Dynasty, which is divided between the prime minister, the Taiwei, and the imperial historian, and is divided into Jiuqing and Lieqing. However, due to the fact that there are many names in the official system and there is a certain purpose of decentralization, the real power of the Taiwei is uncertain from time to time.

During the Eastern Han Dynasty, Taiwei and Situ Sikong were the three dukes, Taiwei was in charge of the military, Situ was in charge of civil affairs, and Situ was in charge of supervision. However, the real power of the Eastern Han Dynasty has been transferred to Shangshutai, and Taiwei is actually the prime minister, which is the same as the name of Taiwei who was in charge of military affairs in the early Western Han Dynasty. As the highest military position, in addition to evaluating the merits of military attachés throughout the country and taking it as the basis for promotion, Taiwei is the highest military adviser to the emperor. The army of the Han Dynasty was led by generals and captains, and the taiwei could not directly command the army. Previously, the position of Tai Lieutenant was held by Zhu Jun, and Zhu Jun's promotion to the position of Tai Lieutenant as an old minister was obviously a little more retreat. Of course, Zhu Jun, who was born in the army, can be promoted to the rank of captain is already extremely glorious, the most important thing is that Zhu Jun is the person trusted by Guan Yu after serving as a captain, Guan Yu often let Zhu Jun preside over some work, especially in the matter of reform, Zhu Jun often fought with Guan Yu to speak in the court, and later Cao Cao attacked Luoyang Zhu Jun died in battle and ended his life

This time, Liu Bei was entrusted with the position of Tai Lieutenant, which made Liu Bei a little puzzled. After all, I am still young, so I have to be more pragmatic, is it possible to go to a nursing home by myself? Guan Yu, as the second brother, shouldn't treat himself so badly, he has to let himself do something! Is it possible that he wants to be given real power? I have the respect of the emperor's uncle and the love of righteousness, has the real power of the Taiwei returned? Liu Beiyue felt that this matter was a little incredible, but if he took on this position, he would definitely not let him retreat, he had to work hard to make this position a reality, after all, he was a relative of the emperor! Liu Bei, who is standing at this angle, how can this captain be a false officer? He wants to be active and do more. Emperor Xian was also very pleased to hear that Liu Bei had been appointed as a lieutenant this time. After all, it is a family, Liu Bei has been promoted again, and the more steadily Liu Bei goes, the more beneficial it will be for him, for the sake of his family, wouldn't Emperor Xian be pleased?

In Guan Yu's opinion, giving Liu Bei the position of Tai Lieutenant is well thought out, and the role of Liu Bei is the most headache for him, especially now It is even more difficult for him to ride a tiger. Guan Yu has a sense of righteousness with Liu Bei and Zhang Fei, and of course Guan Yu can move Liu Bei out because of the situation. At that time, in order to increase the bargaining chips against Dong Zhuo, Guan Yu pushed Liu Bei to the forefront, because he had the identity of the emperor's uncle and had a relationship with himself, Liu Bei naturally established his connections in the court as soon as he appeared, and he has been following Dong Zhuo. When it is time to break up, it is time to eradicate this scourge, and when it is time to draw a clear line, there must be a suitable name and bring out Liu Bei at this time. Liu Bei is a relative of the Han family, and when Liu Bei appeared in this crisis, he naturally stabilized the hearts of the people of the chaotic government and the opposition.

Although Dong Zhuo is autocratic, there are still many people in the court who belong to the old ministers of the Han Dynasty, Liu Bei as the emperor's uncle came out to serve and united a lot of old departments of the court, and strengthened a lot of strength to eradicate Dong Zhuo, Liu Bei also has an identity as an imperial uncle, that is, he worships his brother, so that he stands with the court, he was originally from a humble background, and he has followed Dong Zhuo for so long, although he has military power, but there is no good background to gain a foothold in the court, and there are naturally many obstacles, Naturally, it will be opposed by some old ministers of the court, and even the Son of Heaven is a little panicked, and he wants to rectify you all the time, after all, it is not so easy to gain a firm foothold in the court with an ordinary role, and Liu Bei's comeback solved this problem at once, Liu Bei is the emperor's uncle on the one hand, and on the other hand, he is the brother of the righteous knot Jin Lan, who picks himself up, so that he has a natural reputation in the court, and his heels are also stable, and he has also won the trust of the Son of Heaven

Liu Bei is a political offensive for Guan Yu, his appearance has won him more support politically, and helped himself from the side, and now after several rounds of personnel adjustments in the court, it can be said that 70% of the civil and military generals are their own people, and the real blood change has been realized, it can be said that he has completely controlled the connections of the imperial court, and many civil and military generals are his cronies and staff, all of whom are people he trusts, and he has integrated military and political power into one, and completely controls the overall situation of the imperial court. Liu Bei's arrangement also gave him a little headache, Liu Bei is an ambitious person, and he can't live under the people for a long time, since Liu Bei settled in Luoyang, especially after appearing as the emperor's uncle, the entire court is like having a backer, and many people have begun to rely on Liu Bei, including the emperor, Liu Bei has played an increasingly important role in the court, and has almost become the lifesaver and savior of many royal relatives and nobles.

From the expulsion of Huang Wan, Dong Cheng and others in the past to the later cleaning up of those royal relatives and nobles, Liu Bei has not been idle, constantly jumping up and down to intercede for them to excuse them, but due to Liu Bei's limited military power, Guan Yu also made up his mind, these people finally did not land safely because of Liu Bei's appearance, Liu Bei is sometimes very angry, but there is no way to take Guan Yu, Liu Bei is politically powerful but his military power is too limited, if he is really given military power, Liu Bei is a fuel-efficient lamp, and the current situation is basically stable, In the future, if he breaks with the Han family, although Liu Bei has a sense of righteousness with himself, it is difficult to say at such a critical moment as a relative of the Han family, after all, Liu Bei is also an ambitious person, and at that time, once Liu Bei is strong, it will become Guan Yu's biggest stumbling block.
