Chapter 396, Li Ru's analysis

The Yellow Turban Army existed intermittently for more than 20 years at the end of the Han Dynasty, and every time it appeared, one of the biggest characteristics was that there were many people, very many. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

Zhang Jiao's death heralded the demise of Taiping Dao, and the disintegration of the Yellow Turban Army was inevitable. The Yellow Turban Army after that, perhaps because of the problem of survival at the beginning of the uprising, but once it developed, it became a sharp weapon in the hands of careerists. Otherwise, why could the Yellow Turban Army be so powerful and sweep through Qingyan without the government being able to control it?

Countless old and weak women and children have been coerced, and there are more than 10 million yellow scarves in Qingzhou, and Yanzhou yellow scarves are not less than those in Qingzhou. If you can't find a way to deal with it, the crowd tactics can drown the army that comes to crusade.

Liu Dai's death was not without reason.

First of all, he didn't have much territory, so he didn't have too many troops, and the county shepherds in the state didn't buy him; secondly, there are no excellent generals under his command, and many talents, such as Cheng Yu, are not optimistic about him and are not subject to conscription; Again, he couldn't listen to the advice of his subordinates, didn't listen to the advice of Bao Xin, Chen Gong and others, and was in a hurry to force troops; In the end, there were too many Yellow Turbans......

If you know the details of the Yellow Turban Army in Yanzhou, then Liu Dai's death is even more commonsense.

Historically, after Cao Cao was established as the assassin of Yanzhou, he exterminated the Yellow Turban Army in the territory, collected its elite, and organized it into an army of 300,000, called the "Qingzhou Army". It was this army that followed Cao Cao to fight in the south and in the north, cutting down Taoqian, destroying Lu Bu, leveling Yuan Shu, and fighting Yuan Shao...... It can be said that the reason why Cao Cao was able to win many victories had a lot to do with his subjugation of these Yellow Turban Army. Before pacifying Hebei, he mainly relied on these troops adapted from the Yellow Turban Army.

Although the Yellow Turban Army is now chaotic and fighting on its own, there is still a foundation, and Liu Dai is not a famous general, so it is not surprising that he was beaten to death by the Yellow Turban Army.

In the game, the "Qingzhou Army" was gradually interpreted as a special class, one of the strongest troops under Cao Cao.

Entering Yanzhou, Cao Cao's strength has made a qualitative leap. Don't look at Liu Dai's inability to play in Yanzhou, there are several princes in the state, but with Cao Cao, this is not a big problem at all.

Taishan Taishou Yingshao is a friend of Cao Cao and Yuan Shao, and Jibei Xiang is one of the people who are strong in welcoming Cao Cao, and he is very optimistic about Cao Cao; Shanyang is too guarded by Yuan's legacy, not to mention; Chen Liutaishou Zhang Miao was repeatedly attacked by the Xiliang army, and he was already unbearable, and he was also Cao Cao's old acquaintance, and he once promoted Cao Cao; And Jiyin is Liu Dai's territory. After Ren Cheng's prime minister Zheng Sui was killed, Ren Cheng was already considered right and wrong, and Dongping Guo was similar, full of yellow turbans.

Therefore, there is no obstacle for Cao Cao to enter Yanzhou, at least for now.

Li Dian, Le Jin, Lu Qian, Yu Ban, Cheng Yu and others were all subdued by Cao Cao during this time, and initially formed their own team. After that, Cao Cao soared into the sky, like a dragon getting out of trouble, and gradually became one of the forces that controlled the situation in the world, and finally unified Jiangbei.

This is one of Cao Cao's advantages as the protagonist of the Three Kingdoms, Liu Feng can't envy it, what he wants to do is not envy, but to enrich and expand his power little by little.

Others have nothing to say, Tao Qian Shoucheng, the Yellow Turban is powerful, he may not dare to rescue Kong Rong, Yuan Shu's eyes are on Yanzhou, and he wants to go north to compete with Yuan Shao, but before that, he has to solve some small troubles in Yuzhou.

……

said that Liu Feng left, Dong Zhuo once again dominated the situation, said that he decided several major events, and then retreated to Li Ru's house.

Li Ru, who returned to Chang'an, his health was getting worse day by day, and he knew that this was because of his own backlash to destroy Luoyang, and he was not too worried, but he suffered a little, and after 5 years, he would recover. But in the meantime, he couldn't be a director. Without the advice of the contrary, Dong Zhuo would have intensified and become more unscrupulous.

"Wen Wei, are you feeling better?" Dong Zhuo entered the room to visit Li Ru.

"Thank you father-in-law for your concern, my son-in-law will be fine, and I will be fine in two years." Li Ru's face was pale and extremely weak.

"Wen Wei, there is something I don't understand, so I want to ask your opinion, are you okay?" Dong Zhuo said.

"Father-in-law, please say, the son-in-law supports it." Li Ru said.

This is nonsense, you said it, Li Ru just can't hold it and has to hold on.

So Dong Zhuo told Liu Feng's performance in the court, and then asked, "What do you say Liu Feng is thinking?" Why did he do it? All the officials pleaded for him, how should I deal with this? ”

Li Ru closed his eyes and thought, Dong Zhuo didn't bother, and after a while, Li Ru opened his eyes and said with a smile: "Father-in-law, don't worry, this matter is easy to solve." ”

"You say." Dong Zhuo said that he wanted to listen to the details.

"The first time I saw this person a few years ago, my son-in-law said that this person was sleek, and now it is exactly like this." Li Ru said with a smile, "From the time he set off to the time he was imprisoned, he was acting, all he wanted was fame and prestige in Shilin." And he himself didn't know if the trip would be successful, so he came alone. He is an alien, and Huiji is also beaten down little by little, even if he kills him and takes away his official position, it will have no effect on him, but will achieve his reputation. ”

"So he's kidding me." Dong Zhuo didn't grasp the point at all, but cared about his own face.

"I can't say that, my father-in-law is a fan of the authorities, and I'm an outsider, so I can see it clearly. And what he did was not wrong, because he came to pay tribute, and all the princes in the world were paying attention to this matter, and it was necessary for the father-in-law to think about it more. If you didn't understand what he was, you would have been fooled by him. Father-in-law thinks about it, even if he scolds his father-in-law, what can he scold? ”

"In front of the emperor, he was domineering and killed the clan." Dong Zhuo thought for a while.

"Yes, so I said he came for fame, but he didn't want to offend his father-in-law to death, so he started from the clan and said those words as a member of the royal family, and deliberately didn't mention the previous alliance. Otherwise, the charges of murder and other crimes will be mentioned and placed on the head of the father-in-law. As for the ministers of the court and China speaking for him, this is inevitable, or is it because Liu Feng came for tribute. If they didn't want to be charged with unauthorized killing, and they didn't want the princes everywhere to be more hostile to them, they had to let Liu Feng survive. ”

"So what are we going to do?" Dong Zhuo thought about it, so he asked.

"Simple, he showed a break with his father-in-law, what he wanted was reputation, we couldn't let him take advantage of it, just follow the current situation, and lock him up for a few days, but during this period, my father-in-law will go to see him a few times, and finally go in person, release him, and give him a promotion, he can't get rid of the suspicion of taking refuge with his father-in-law, and he will naturally be isolated." Li Ru said confidently.

The so-called "taking refuge in Dong Zhuo" is impossible, the real idea is to make the Kwantung princes feel that Liu Feng has been in the same league with Dong Zhuo and is complicit, but these two words, Li Ru will not mention in front of Dong Zhuo.

"He scolded me in the court, and I want to promote him, it's really unwilling to think about it." Dong Zhuo was very dissatisfied with this result.

"Father-in-law, don't be angry, no matter how much Liu Feng jumps, he is just a stranger, far away in Jiangdong, and there is no conflict of interest. Ahem...... "Li Ru gasped again, "Father-in-law needs to be careful, it is still those people in the court, they will definitely not be willing to let their father-in-law take charge of the government, they will definitely secretly link up to try to drive us away, father-in-law must be careful, and also, in Chang'an City, we have insufficient Xiliang army, and there are too many state troops, it is best to transfer Li Dao and others back in case of accidents." ”

"Wen Wei rest assured, the power of the court is firmly in my hands, and it will be fine. Besides, with the protection of Fengxian, who can touch me? Wen is worried about feeling unwell, so let's have a good rest, I'll go first. Dong Zhuo didn't want to hear that the imperial court he controlled was full of hidden dangers in Li Ru's mouth, so he left in a hurry, he was confident that his control of the imperial court was still good, no one dared to disobey his opinion, and he naturally couldn't listen to Li Ru's words.

"Ahem, it should be Lu Bu who is worried, if he betrays...... My father-in-law has changed, he no longer has the aggressiveness he used to have, and he is arrogant, so I don't know what will happen in the future? Alas, the backlash is getting more and more serious, and I am already powerless, and my head is not sober, and I hope that the situation will not deteriorate so thoroughly before it gets better. After Dong Zhuo left, Li Ru muttered.

……

Just when Dong Zhuo asked Li Ru about Liu Feng's question, Wang Yun, who was full of worries when he returned home, was also thinking about Liu Feng's performance in the court.

He didn't believe that the man who was so valued by the Emperor that he could entrust his favorite prince to him could be such a reckless man.

After a long time, his closed eyes opened and shone brightly, and the corners of his mouth showed a smile. (To be continued.) )
