Chapter 461: The Edict of the Belt (II)
Ten days ago, when Liu Xie complained about Cao Cao's crimes to Empress Fu, Empress Fu remembered a person, Concubine Dong!
Fu Hou was anxious for Liu Xie, but her father Fu Wan is now just a small Zhongsan doctor, without any real power, and it is impossible to play any role at all. However, Dong Guifei's father, Dong Cheng, is a general of the Che Cai, although the Che Cai General is only a fictitious position, but he is a general after all, and he has a common language with some generals who are not Cao Cao's lineage, which can influence some people.
However, is Dong Guifei loyal to Liu Xie? Is Dong Cheng loyal to the Han family? After Fu didn't know, Liu Xie didn't know either. He can't afford to lose, and Liu Xie can't afford to lose. Husband and wife are birds in the same forest, and they fly separately when disaster comes, and neither Fu Hou nor Liu Xie dare to guarantee that Dong Guifei will be loyal to the Han and Liu Xie under the current situation. They can't afford to lose, so the necessary temptation is important.
That night, Dong Guifei was recruited to Fuhou, and after Liu Xie and Fuhou, they thought that Dong Guifei was loyal, so the three of them discussed to test Dong Cheng.
It is also a coincidence that on the seventeenth day of the first month, Cao Cao went to Chenliu, so Liu Xie's opportunity came.
Taiyi Jiping is Liu Xie's person, and under his diagnosis, the lively Dong Guifei is sick and wants to see her father. Before Cao Cao left, he gave an order to Xun Yu, who was left behind, that the requirements in the palace should be met as much as possible. So, Xun Yu didn't care about these things. Dong Cheng also entered the palace smoothly.
After some temptation by Concubine Dong, Liu Xie was finally relieved.
When Dong Cheng saw Liu Xie transfer out from behind Dong Guifei's embroidered couch, he was stunned and broke out in a cold sweat. Fortunately, just now he said that he was loyal to the Han family and Liu Xie, otherwise...... The consequences are unimaginable!
After coming back to his senses, he was busy paying homage.
Liu Xie helped him up and said, "Uncle Guo, don't blame me for being suspicious, it's really a very important thing to do at all times!" He sighed and continued: "This Manchu Dynasty civil and military is all Cao Thief's cronies, and I really don't know which person to trust!" ”
Dong Chengcheng was terrified, shook his head again and again, and said, "Your Majesty, how can the old minister blame Your Majesty?" What Your Majesty said is extremely true, these are extraordinary times, and it is natural that extraordinary things should be done! After a slight pause, he glanced at Liu Xie, gritted his teeth, and said, "Your Majesty, you say, what do you want the minister to do?" ”
Liu Xie's eyes turned red, and he said: "Aiqing, no one can solve the pain in my heart, today, I will entrust the lives of the children of my family to your hands!" ”
Dong Cheng hurriedly knelt down and grabbed the ground with his head: "The minister is frightened, the minister is ashamed!" Your Majesty, as long as Your Majesty gives an order, Weichen's old bones are the oil pot on the knife mountain, and he will not give up! ”
Liu Xie helped him up again, pulled his arm, and said, "Aiqing, hurry up!" Aiqing, I want to get rid of the thief, would you like to help me? ”
Dong Cheng nodded, gritted his teeth and said, "Your Majesty, you can say it, Weichen only needs your words!" ”
Liu Xie nodded and said with emotion: "Aiqing is really a loyal minister of the country!" Aiqing, I want to get rid of the Cao thief! ”
Dong Cheng bowed slightly, glanced at Liu Xie, bowed slightly and asked, "Your Majesty, do you have a specific strategy?" ”
Liu Xie frowned and shook his head, and said, "I don't have a specific strategy, so I recruited Qing and others to discuss!" ”
Dong Cheng frowned and groaned for a long time, shook his head with a wry smile, and said: "Your Majesty, with the strength that you can control in the hands of your ministers, you can't even protect Your Majesty from Xu Du, how can you talk about killing national thieves?" ”
The two of them stared at each other, and after a long time, they didn't come up with any way.
Suddenly, Liu Xie's eyes lit up and said, "Aiqing, can you recruit a foreign vassal to come to King Qin?" ”
Dong Cheng was stunned, shook his head, and said, "Your Majesty, Weichen is afraid that Your Majesty will go out of the wolf's den first and then enter the tiger's den!" The old story of Li Guo and the two thieves, presumably His Majesty still remembers it vividly, Wei Chen escaped from Chang'an with His Majesty and came to Xudu, thinking that the Han Dynasty would be able to recover, but he didn't want Cao Thief to be more ruthless and terrible than Li Dao and the others. ”
Liu Xie shook his head, his eyes were as bright as stars, and he said confidently: "This person won't!" ”
Dong Cheng hurriedly asked, "Who?" ”
Liu Xiedao: "This person was originally a member of the Han family, after King Zhongshan Jing, the seventh son of Emperor Xiaojing!" …… In terms of seniority, he is the current emperor's uncle! At the end of the first year of Xingping, he sent someone to contact me who was still in Chang'an, and since then, there has been no shortage of annual offerings, even though he knows that he can't get the money and things he gave. This person is loyal to the Han family and can take on great responsibilities! ”
Dong Cheng's eyes lit up, and he said: "But the general, Ye Hou, Xuzhou Mu Liu Bei Liu Xuande?" ”
Liu Xiedao: "Exactly! ”
Dong Cheng thought about it, nodded slowly, and said with a little excitement: "Your Majesty, this person should be reliable!" Moreover, Liu Xuande is strong, stronger than Cao Mengde, and the extermination of the traitor Yuan Highway in the last four months of last year shook the world. His territory borders the Cao thief, and as long as he comes to the rescue, he can reach Xudu within a few days. ”
After a slight pause, he clapped his hands and said, "Your Majesty, as long as the general agrees to help, then this matter will definitely be successful!" Just ......"
He frowned and sighed, "How do you contact them?" Cao Thief is very closely guarded by His Majesty, Lao Chen and others, and he can't leave the city at all. Also, how can the general believe that the person we sent is a close confidant of His Majesty, and not a thief, what kind of scheme is going to be played? ”
Liu Xie and Dong Cheng were relatively speechless, and after a while, he suddenly remembered something, his eyes lit up, and he said eagerly: "Aiqing, I have a way!" ”
Dong Cheng hurriedly asked, "Your Majesty, what way?" ”
Liu Xiedao: "Aiqing, that's the case!" At the end of last year, after Uncle Huang exterminated the traitor Yuan Shu, he sent someone to send a recital, mainly to ask for merit for the generals in Xuzhou. I read the excerpt, and the thief Cao also saw it, but Uncle Huang's appetite was a little big, and he wanted to ask for ten princes and more than thirty marquis in the guannei in one breath, so the two of us temporarily suppressed it. ”
After a slight pause, he said with a little excitement: "However, this matter must be done, otherwise there will be no reward for even the merit of destroying the traitor Yuan Shu, who will contribute to my big man in the future?" As for the thief, hey, he needs to use the banner of my great man, if he doesn't reward the heroes who destroy the traitors, how can he serve the public? So he had to agree. In a few days, when the thief returns, I will discuss with him and I will definitely be able to settle the matter. At that time, there must be a few people who went to Xuzhou to announce the decree to be my henchmen, and the Cao thief would also send someone to follow, and my people would find an opportunity to avoid the Cao thief's people, wouldn't they be able to have private contact with the emperor's uncle? ”
Dong Cheng nodded again and again, and said, "But, Your Majesty, how can your people gain the trust of the imperial uncle in a short period of time?" ”
Liu Xie shook his head, sighed, and said, "In extraordinary times, you should do extraordinary things!" At that time, I wrote a blood edict accusing Cao of the evil of the thief, which must have made the imperial uncle believe it. ”
Dong Cheng and Concubine Dong Guifei hurriedly knelt down and said eagerly: "Your Majesty, this matter must not be allowed!" ”
Liu Xiedao: "Why not? In order to revive the Han world, I didn't even hesitate to take my life, let alone a few drops of blood? Don't persuade you anymore, I've made up my mind! ”
Dong Cheng looked at his daughter, then at Emperor Han, sighed, and said, "Since Your Majesty has made up your mind, the old minister will no longer persuade you!" Your Majesty, the king humiliated the ministers to death, and after the imperial uncle received the secret decree, the old ministers must fully cooperate with the imperial uncle to kill the Cao thief and restore my Han rivers and mountains! ”
Liu Xie hurriedly helped the father and daughter up and asked, "Aiqing, how do you plan to cooperate with Uncle Huang?" ”
Dong Cheng gritted his teeth and said, "Your Majesty, after the imperial uncle receives the order, he will definitely take action, and he may directly attack Xudu." That is, Weichen contacted some like-minded people, gathered all our family soldiers and servants, and then gathered the army that could be controlled, and cooperated with the emperor's uncle to take Xudu. At that time, even if he couldn't kill the Cao thief, His Majesty would have been able to escape from the clutches of the Cao thief! ”
Liu Xie nodded again and again, and said, "This matter is very good!" Aiqing, this matter must be confidential, if not, everything will be over! ”
Dong Cheng nodded, patted his chest and said, "Your Majesty, rest assured, the minister will take care of it!" ”
The story of the edict broke out ahead of schedule because Cao Cao wrote nine holy decrees for Tian Fan, which Tian Fan did not expect. At this time, the two major parties, one Cao Cao and one Tian Fan, didn't know anything about it.
Cao Cao went to Chenliu, and he wanted to make arrangements for the next step of the war. In Chenliu, the main generals and strategists in Cao Cao's camp were there, and it seemed that something big was brewing.
On Tian Fan's side, he was busy with the affairs of the White Tiger Legion.
The White Tiger Legion officially opened the government, and in line with the high-profile psychology, Tian Fan did a big job. He invited almost all the officials in Xiapi to go, and everyone ate and drank together, which was considered to be fun. The establishment of the White Tiger Legion marked a small change in the relationship between Tian Fan and Liu Bei. From today onwards, Tian Fan has greater power, has semi-absolute control over the army under him, rewards and punishments can be exempted from Liu Bei, and even has the right to tax the East China Sea. In other words, from now on, all the taxes of the East China Sea Kingdom will be at the disposal of Tian Fan. Tian Fan was very emotional, shogun, the power is really great!
Guan Yu's Fenwei Corps' exclusive tax area was in Jiujiang County, raising grain and grass nearby. The potential of Jiujiang County is huge, and according to Tian Fan's estimates, it will not be a big problem to feed 100,000 troops after two years.
The East China Sea Kingdom was relatively weak, because the original position of the East China Sea Kingdom by the sea was split, and the separate Qu County, shipbuilding, salt pans, fishing and other highly profitable industries had nothing to do with the East China Sea Kingdom. Tohae Province is now only a county with agriculture and animal husbandry. Moreover, a large part of the land of the East China Sea Kingdom is military and mintun, and these lands cannot be taxed. But even so, after Tian Fan did the math, he found that the wealth at his disposal was still an astronomical amount, and it was more than enough to feed the White Tiger Army.
At the banquet, Liu Bei looked at Tian Fan's subordinates, shook his head and sighed: "Boguang, your subordinates are really full of talents!" Mr. Kang Cheng's youngest son, as well as your two little junior brothers, Yuanlong's younger brother, those are characters I have invited several times but have not been invited, I can't imagine that you will be caught in one go! ”
Tian Fan smiled and said, "Lord, they practice here first, and when I think they have practiced and can take on the heavy responsibility, I will send them to you." My place is a place for military training, and the soldiers who are trained are not all yours in the end? ”
Liu Bei smiled and said, "That's what I said, hehe!" ”
Tian Fan laughed a few times and said, "Lord, I can't use the taxes of the East China Sea Country here, how to deal with the rest?" ”
Liu Bei glanced at him and said, "How to deal with it?" You can do it yourself! In the future, your White Tiger Legion will pay for its soldiers and reward meritorious soldiers, and the wealth you need will come from the taxes of the East China Sea Kingdom. I calculated, judging from the previous achievements of your White Tiger Legion, the rewards and pensions plus your food and salary, the taxes in the East China Sea are just right. Hehe, if you carry it yourself, if you have less...... Don't look for me! ”
Tian Fan rolled his eyes and said, "Lord, isn't it?" Isn't my White Tiger Legion your soldier? If you're like this, the soldiers will say that you're not! ”
Liu Bei seemed to take advantage of it, and said, "I don't care!" Hehe, if you want to take a little more for yourself, then make less military exploits, if you want to make more military exploits, hehe, you have to find your own way in terms of money. ”
Tian Fan could see that Liu Bei was going to be the shopkeeper, and he said depressedly: "Lord, you also know the combat power of our White Tiger Legion, as long as there is a war, the battle merits must be indispensable." In this way, the taxes of the East China Sea must not be enough, do you want me to supplement it with my own money? ”
Liu Bei said: "I said, I don't care!" Boy, don't think that you have become the governor of the White Tiger Legion, and you don't have to contribute to political affairs, let me tell you, is there any way to make money, hurry up and take it out, otherwise your White Tiger Legion will be in trouble! ”
Tian Fan thought about it, shook his head and said, "How can it be so easy to make money?" In this way, I don't know much about the various resources in the East China Sea, and when I understand it, I will try to adjust it if possible. But...... You have to nod your head in this matter, and you still need Xiao Jian's cooperation, what do you think? ”
Liu Bei snorted and said, "What I'm waiting for is your words!" ”
Tian Fan nodded and said, "That's it, lord, you can find someone to come to the White Tiger Legion in the dark night." Lord, this is not spying on me, but ...... An attitude that I express to you! ”
Liu Bei thought about it, nodded slowly, and said, "Okay!" Li Tao, he's good! He was my personal guard and loyal to me. Moreover, he was raised and trained by you, and he will not be hostile to you. His words should guarantee absolute fairness and justice, and you should be able to cooperate happily. ”
Tian Fan bowed his head and said, "Okay, it's him!" ”
