Guo Jia mentioned the Qingzhou soldiers, Cao Cao was stunned for a moment, and asked Guo Jia: "The meaning of filial piety is to ask the Qingzhou soldiers to enter Xuzhou?" ”

"Exactly!" Nodding, Guo Jia said to Cao Cao: "Yanzhou and Qingzhou are adjacent to each other, and the Qingzhou soldiers stay in Yanzhou for a long time, and later they will change. At present, although Xuzhou is temporarily fine, once the Qingzhou soldiers enter Xuzhou, they will do everything to loot and break the city, and Xuzhou will be in turmoil! ”

"The king of Luoyang is now reorganizing his troops and horses, and I am afraid that he also has a plan against Huainan!" Without waiting for Cao Cao to answer, Guo Jia said to Cao Cao: "The Duke of Ming must strike first, Yuan Shu has not been called the emperor, and it is inconvenient for the Duke of Ming to move troops to Huainan." and ordered Sun Guan and other Qingzhou generals to lead the Qingzhou army into Xuzhou, muddy the water in Xuzhou first, and forced Yuan Shu to send troops to Xuzhou. ”

"If the Qingzhou army advances all the way and Yuan Shu doesn't get benefits, how can it ......" frowned slightly, Cao Cao's eyes narrowed, and asked Guo Jia: "Didn't Feng Xiaomo want to lead Yuan Shu to a head-on conflict with our army?" ”

"No!" Guo Jia waved his hand and said to Cao Cao: "Before Yuan Shu becomes emperor, the Duke of Ming must not fight with him. The person who Yuan Shu drew was Liu Bei. Defeat Liu Bei, and then seek Lu Bu. And what Ming Gong has to do is not to plot against Liu Bei, but to force Liu Bei to the point where there is no way out, throw himself under the command of Ming Gong, and then defeat Lu Bu, Xuzhou can be obtained! ”

"According to Fengxiao's view, the king of Luoyang will send troops to participate in the battle of Xuzhou?" Tightly frowning, Cao Cao was still a little jealous of Liu Wei, and asked Guo Jia a question.

"No!" Guo Jia shook his head very resolutely and said to Cao Cao: "Between Luoyang and Xuzhou, separated by Yanzhou and Huainan, the whip is beyond reach!" Even if the Luoyang army goes on an expedition, who will they crusade against? Although the Qingzhou Army obeyed the orders of Duke Ming, they were born in the Yellow Turban after all. Before the Ming Duke sent troops, he could secretly order the Qingzhou army to make a rebellion farce in Yanzhou. When the situation stabilizes and the Qingzhou army enters Xuzhou, Ming Gong only needs to shirk it, saying that the army is difficult to control! Even if the king of Luoyang wants to find a way to attack Ming Gong, there is no valid reason! ”

"Chang'an, Zuo Fengyi, now it has become a borderless land!" Without waiting for Cao Cao to speak, Guo Jia continued: "After Dong Zhuo's rebellion and Li Dao's changes, these two places have been in war all year round, and they have long been exhausted. The Duke of Ming should be under the current majesty, canonize the king of Luoyang as the king of Qin, and rule Chang'an and Zuo Fengyi! ”

"In this way, the power of the King of Luoyang is even stronger!" Guo Jia's suggestion made Cao Cao feel a little hesitant.

After years of conquest, most of the heroes in the world are not worth mentioning to Cao Cao.

Even though Yuan Shao in Hebei and Yuan Shu in Huainan had hundreds of thousands of troops, Cao Cao also felt that if there was a war between the two sides one day, it would not be difficult to defeat these two.

But every time Liu Wei is mentioned, Cao Cao is a little bottomless in his heart.

From the abolished emperor who had no soldiers in his hands to the king of Luoyang, who was so powerful that as long as he sent troops, almost the whole world would be moved, Liu Wei only took a few years.

In the past few years, the Luoyang army was invincible and never had a defeat in killing Dong Zhuo, defeating Gongsun Zhan, and conquering the Xiongnu in the north.

If the Chang'an area is also given to Liu Wei......

Cao Cao was really worried, as a result, not only did he fail to restrain Liu Bian, but on the contrary, he let Liu Biao sit big from now on, and once he faced the enemy in the future, the situation was unpredictable.

"Ming Gong is too worried!" As soon as Cao Cao said that he gave Liu Wei the area of Chang'an, it might make him sit big from now on, Guo Jia smiled slightly, and said to Cao Cao: "Even if you don't give the area of Chang'an, the king of Luoyang, isn't the Luoyang army invincible?" Chang'an is tired, and Zuo Fengyi is even more poor! The king of Luoyang treats the people well, and the world knows it. This year, these two places have been hit by insect infestations and floods, and the victims have become commonplace, and there is a serious shortage of food. Once these two places are handed over to the king of Luoyang, the king of Luoyang will definitely open the treasury for disaster relief. In this way, the king of Luoyang can be trapped in the northwest this year! ”

Turning his head to look at Guo Jia for a while, Cao Cao raised his hand and slapped it the forehead, and said to Guo Jia: "Feng Xiao's words made a certain mouth open!" The reason why the king of Luoyang broke Gongsun Zhan and did not occupy the boundary of Youzhou in the slightest was that he was unwilling to transport Luoyang's wealth elsewhere to strengthen the financial strength of the Luoyang army! If His Majesty issued an order to canonize the Chang'an area to the king of Luoyang, and if he insisted on not granting it, it would be the king of Luoyang to resist the decree, and his heart would be unpredictable......"

"Exactly!" Cao Cao had already understood the key, and Guo Jia nodded slowly with a faint smile on the corner of his mouth.

A few days later, Luoyang City ushered in a team of envoys from the Son of Heaven.

After getting the will of the canonization of the King of Qin, Liu Wei did not show too much joy or boredom, but let people receive the envoys well.

In the flower pavilion in the back garden of Luoyang Palace, Liu Wei sat opposite Xu Shu, Pang Tong and Jia Xu, who secretly helped Lu Bu win Xuzhou.

Kneeling in the flower pavilion and looking around at the three staff members in front of him, Liu Wei said to them: "Your Majesty suddenly canonized this king as the king of Qin, what do you think?" ”

"It's nothing more than moderation of Your Highness!" As soon as Liu Wei's question was asked, Pang Tong hugged his fists and said to him: "The Chang'an area has suffered from wars all the year round, and now all industries are withering and the people are struggling to make a living. This year coincided with insect plagues and floods, which caused people everywhere to suffer and starve. His Majesty canonized Jing Zhaoyin and Zuo Fengyi as His Royal Highness's fiefdoms, which seemed to be a great trust in His Highness, and placed Chang'an and Luoyang under His Royal Highness's rule. Secretly, it should be Cao Cao's plot to restrain His Highness, delay the progress of the Luoyang army's preparation, and give Cao Cao enough time to march into Xuzhou. ”

"What Shi Yuan said coincides with this king!" Nodding, Liu Wei first expressed his approval of Pang Tong, and then looked around at the servants and asked them: "Since Cao Cao has made this move, he has already planned against Xuzhou, what do you think, how should this situation be broken?" ”

"Your Highness!" Holding his fists and bowing, he saluted Liu Wei first, and Jia Xu said to Liu Wei: "Jing Zhaoyin and Zuo Fengyi, the army and the people do not agree with His Royal Highness, and His Majesty thinks that His Highness does not need to spend too much energy there, and should pay close attention to the movements of Cao Jun." Once Xuzhou fell into the hands of Cao Cao, and now His Majesty is in Xuchang, everything is what Cao Cao said is the Lord. Your Highness will have many constraints when he acts! ”

"What does Wen He think should be done?" Although he heard the meaning of Jia Xu's words, Liu Wei still asked him a question.

"Abandon Jing Zhaoyin and Zuo Fengyi, and only take the title of King of Qin!" Maintaining the posture of clenching his fists and bowing, Jia Xu said to Liu Wei: "Exciting Yuan Shu is the emperor, and the army will advance to Huainan before Cao Cao!" Then he seized Xuzhou and formed a flanking attack on Xuchang. Even if Cao Cao has the heart to embarrass His Royal Highness in the future, there is Yuan Benchu in the north, and there is the Luoyang Army in the west, south, and east, Cao Cao will not be able to set off the storm. ”

After listening to Jia Xu's words, Liu Wei was silent.

This strategy is undoubtedly the most practical for him, and it is also the most rapid strategy to stabilize the Central Plains.

But Liu Wei had no way to choose this strategy, Jing Zhaoyin and Zuo Fengyi fell without his rule, and now they have been incorporated into his rule, as the king of Qin, how can he watch the victims starve to death?

From Liu Wei's expression, he saw reluctance.

Xu Shu hesitated for a moment, and then said to Liu Wei: "Your Highness, Your Majesty has a plan, you can use as little grain and grass reserves as possible in the two counties of Yin, Hedong, and Hongnong in Henan, so that you can help the people in the famine!" ”

"Yuan Zhizhi is coming quickly!" Hearing that Xu Shu had a way to use less stock to help the people in starvation, Liu Wei suddenly came to his senses and hurriedly asked Xu Shu to continue.

Facing Liu Bian, Xu Shu still hesitated for a moment before saying to Liu Bian: "It is necessary to open a warehouse for grain relief, but the grain and grass can be added with bark, grass roots, ......."

"Needless to say!" As soon as Xu Shu's words came out, Liu Wei raised an arm, categorically stopped him from continuing his words, and said to him: "The life of the victims is already quite difficult, if this king fills their stomachs with tree bark and grass roots, how do they think of this king in their hearts?" ”

Liu Wei stood up, put his hands behind his back, walked to the edge of the pavilion, turned his back to the people in the pavilion, looked outside the pavilion, and said to the people: "The victims will think, what a King of Qin!" All day long, he advertises how to be kind to the people, but he uses bark and grass roots to fool my stomach! Regardless of how many of him are, let's talk about it against the fuck! ”

This time, Liu Wei said foul language again.

For some reason, every time he learned that the people were suffering, Liu Wei would feel very blocked in his heart, and he always had the urge to scold a sentence or two.

In the past, as the king of Luoyang, for the sake of image, he had to suppress the pride when he was a soldier; Now that he is the king of Qin, he has to take into account etiquette.

But the victims were suffering, which made Liu Wei feel depressed and difficult to vent, and he couldn't care about it, and then he said a foul word.

Fortunately, the servants in the flower pavilion were all staff members who had followed Liu Wei earlier.

They are well aware of Liu Wei's temperament, and they can also understand how much pressure this former deposed emperor and now the king of Qin is under as the orthodoxy of the Han family.

The heroes of the world still maintain respect for Liu Wei, but this respect is only on the surface, in addition to a few old ministers such as Yuan Shao, how many heroes are loyal to the Han family now?

was first held hostage by Dong Zhuo and Li Dao Guo Yan, and now it has fallen into the hands of Cao Cao, and Liu Xie has long been reduced to a puppet.

Expecting the puppet emperor to turn things around is a fool's dream!

All those who understand know that the only hope for the recovery of the Han family lies in Liu Wei.

Bearing such huge pressure, Liu Wei was able to carry it on his shoulders to this day, which was sincerely admired by Xu Shu and others.

When Liu Wei turned his back to them and scolded a foul word, Xu Shu and the others lowered their heads, and no one spoke.

They all knew in their hearts that Liu Wei, who had just been canonized as the king of Qin, had already made a plan in his heart at this time to save the victims of Jing Zhaoyin and Zuo Fengyi from fire and water.

"This king will go to Jing Zhaoyin in person early tomorrow morning!" With his back to the servants, Liu Wei was silent for a while before he said leisurely: "Yuan Zhi is sitting in Luoyang, and Shi Yuan and Wen He will accompany this king!" ”
