356 Wild and untamable
Wang Yun's mental activities, Li Xiang saw it in his eyes and was happy in his heart. It's good that the old guy can have this awareness, and he has to beat him himself. However, on the surface, Li Xiang was still more respectful, and said: "Father-in-law, no one should dare to provoke us in the future, we just need to develop our own territory." For the other princes, just make good use of the orthodox status of our court and let them go dog-eat-dog. β
Li Xiang's suggestion was more conservative, which was not quite in line with Wang Yun's expectations, so he said, "Just guard the door?" I have the invincible Lu Fengxian in the world, and the brave Xiliang army, and there are almost no forces in the world that can match us. β
Li Xiang shook his head and said: "Although Feng Xian is brave and invincible, he is only a fierce general, but he is not a handsome talent. We have a brave Xiliang army, but the military discipline is corrupt. Moreover, Sili and Yongzhou, which we really control, have been plagued by Dong thieves for many years, and the people's livelihood has long been withered, and Liangzhou is already desolate, and most of it is occupied by Han Sui and Ma Teng. In such a situation, where will we get the money and food to calm the world? Of course, it is necessary to first cultivate obscurity, and diligently cultivate internal affairs. β
Of course, Wang Yun knew that the people's livelihood was withering, but the court still had some money and food. Just copied the money and food from Dong Thief's Yiwu, it was enough to use it for a while. Of course, there are still many places to use money in the imperial court, such as the people who were plagued by Dong Zhuo and the Xiliang army, many people were displaced, and if they want to settle down and let them go back to farming, they need to pay money from the imperial court to buy them farm tools, seeds, ploughing cattle and other things, if the imperial court does not care, these victims are likely to be starved to death, or become slaves of large families, and become hidden households that the imperial court cannot collect taxes.
In the past, Wang Yun didn't pay much attention to the life and death of the grass people, in his eyes, how could the lives of those grass people be as important as the Jiangshan Sheji of the Han Dynasty? Of course, the limited money is used in more important areas. But now he knew. Li Xiang cares about the people very much, which is the opposite of his values. So after thinking about it, he decided not to refute it, nodded and said, "Okay, I'll listen to you." β
Although he obeyed Li Xiang's opinion, Wang Yun was against his will. Naturally, it won't be very pleasant, so after a few more small talks, I took my leave. After he returned to the office and approved the report for a while, the information from Yanzhou was finally delivered. He couldn't wait to take a look at it, and his heart trembled.
The information is very detailed and accurate, and it should have been leaked by someone lurking inside Cao's army. Even if it was not exaggerated in the slightest, it made Wang Yun look in a cold sweat. First, all the children of the Cao family in the heavily guarded Cao Mansion were exterminated, and under the strict guard of tens of thousands of troops, they easily killed the generals and strategists of the Cao army one by one. No matter how vigilant Cao Jun is, it is useless, whether it is Dian Wei who chases the tiger across the stream, or Xu Chu who drags the nine cows upside down, all of them are killed in one move. In the end, Cao Cao was chopped up with one hand and one foot!
Although he had long known that Li Xiang had broken through the siege of Dong Zhuo's army and returned to Situ Mansion safely, but now that he knew that Li Xiang had ignored tens of thousands of troops and killed anyone at will, Wang Yun was still stunned for a long time.
Then Wang Yun suddenly reacted, and there was Li Xiang's killer weapon. Do you still need an army to conquer the princes? Whoever dares to disobey the orders of the imperial court and directly let Li Xiang kill him. Such as Yuan Shao, Yuan Shu, and Liu Biao. As long as Cao Cao's precedent is followed, which force can resist the invasion of the imperial court? In this case, the heavy task of requisitioning and reorganizing the situation is simply a matter of effort, but it is even more difficult to resettle the victims and revitalize the people's livelihood.
Thinking that he understood Li Xiang's true meaning, Wang Yun was open-minded. There was no more resistance in my heart. Looking at the second half of the information, there is no sense of urgency in my heart, but I feel like I am watching a monkey show, and I just think it's funny.
Cao Cao's entire clan died, although Xun Yu and others were still there. But none of them are self-reliant, so they are all in a mess, and there is no threat to Xuzhou. Therefore, Xuzhou also staged a good show.
Xuzhou was too protective of Tao Qian, and because Cao Jun had violated the border, he was frightened and asked for help. When Liu Bei heard the news, he led the three generals of Guan, Zhang, and Zhao and 5,000 soldiers and horses to rescue him. When Tao Qian was seriously ill, and knew that his two sons were incompetent, if he inherited the foundation of Xuzhou, he could not suppress the ministers internally, and he could not resist Cao Cao externally, so he had to give Xuzhou to Liu Bei. Liu Bei insisted on refusing to resign, Tao Qian let it again, and the two of them pushed back and forth with a gentleman's face.
Unexpectedly, Cao Cao and his generals suddenly did not know who killed them, and Cao Jun was no longer a threat, Tao Qian immediately changed his face, feeling that although his son was incompetent, but in the absence of external threats, he may not be able to sit in the position of Xuzhou Taishou, so he sent a large sum of money and food to Liu Bei to leave the country.
Of course Liu Bei wants Xuzhou, and the resignation is just a show. Unexpectedly, Cao Jun had such a big change, and Tao Qian changed his face, which made him quite uncomfortable. And Guan Zhang Zhao was even more angry, and immediately started to fight. But Liu Bei has few soldiers after all, and he is in someone's lair, so he doesn't have the right time, place and people, so he naturally failed to win. But the three generals were brave, and Tao Qian didn't dare to persecute too much, so let Liu Bei withdraw from Xuzhou.
After leaving Xuzhou, Liu Bei saw the opportunity of Yanzhou being ownerless, and went to attack Yanzhou in turn. Although Cao's army was far superior to Liu Bei in terms of strength, it was not led by a general, and its morale was extremely low. Xun Yu and the others didn't know what to think, when Liu Beibing came to the city, after several negotiations, they finally took refuge in Liu Bei, so that this guy picked up a big bargain.
However, it is not so easy for Liu Bei to pick up this cheap, Yuan Shao is too far away, and he got the news late, and when he sent troops to accept Cao Cao's inheritance, Liu Bei had already moved into Yanzhou. This made Yuan Shao furious, and immediately raised troops to fight, and Liu Bei was beaten embarrassed before he could sit in his position, and he could only support it hard.
If Wang Yun had known such news before, he would have been worried, not only dissatisfied with Tao Qian's move to treat Xuzhou as private property, but also dissatisfied with Liu Bei's unauthorized occupation of Yanzhou, and even more afraid that Yuan Shao's rapid development would threaten the status of the imperial court. Now, he is not afraid of anything, what can Yuan Shao do even if he occupies the land of Kyushu? Li Xiang could take his life at any time. As long as he dies, everything about him is the court's, and the world is still the world of the Han Dynasty!
Wang Yun stopped, and Li Xiang's life was much better. Practicing every day, teasing the emperor, and occasionally finding that something unfair happened in Chang'an City to take care of it, it was very free. Then, I waited for the news of Lu Bu's victorious class.
Before Lu Bu's army returned, the good news came back first. Li Xiang glanced at it and found that Lu Bu's good news said that he actually slaughtered Ma Chao!
In the original plot, the later Ma Chao was rated by Cao Cao as having the courage of Lu Bu, but he didn't expect to meet the real Lu Bu and even lose his life. But if you think about it, you can understand that Ma Chao was only seventeen years old at this time, and even if he was brave, he was not yet at his peak. Lu Bu is at his peak, and when the two meet, it is natural to know at a glance which one is stronger and which is weaker. It's just that Ma Chao was killed, Ma Teng was able to endure it, and after Han Sui finally escaped, he immediately went to the table to ask for surrender.
Later generations said that Ma Teng was a loyal minister of the Han Dynasty, but now it seems that Ma Teng is just a wolf in sheep's clothing, and he is also ambitious. It is said that there is no righteous war in the Spring and Autumn Period, and there is no righteous war in the same Three Kingdoms, and there is no prince from all walks of life who is not a careerist.
When Lu Bu returned to Chang'an City, Wang Yun organized a welcoming ceremony, and even the emperor went, giving Lu Bu enough face. But Lu Bu is an arrogant character, and the more you respect him, the more he doesn't know who he is. Wang Yun is giving him face, but he feels that he is indeed the Optimus Prime of the court, if there is no him, the court will not be able to support it at all. So after coming back, his behavior became indulgent, except for Wang Yun, all the other ministers and ministers didn't pay attention to it.
Regarding Lu Bu's change, Li Xiang has no intention of persuading, so he is not a person who can be persuaded in a few words. If you offend someone, you will offend someone, as long as he doesn't make a mistake of principle, Li Xiang can protect him. But a few days later, Lu Bu was so arrogant that Li Xiang was arrogant.
That day, Li Xiang asked people to use pig urine bubbles to make gall, breaded a layer of cowhide, made a football, and then took his eunuchs and maids to play football, and Lu Bu came to ask to see him. Li Xiangzheng was so happy to play that he didn't use Tianyantong to check it, so he let him in. Unexpectedly, this guy actually came after drinking, and after a few gossips with Li Xiang, he actually grabbed Li Xiang's little hand in front of his subordinates.
This made Li Xiang very annoyed, but for the sake of his deep affection for himself, Li Xiang just reprimanded him a few words. didn't want Lu Bu to get into his brain, not only did he not listen, but he had to come up and hug Li Xiang. This time, Li Xiang didn't save face for him, and used illusion with fists and kicks to beat him with a blue nose and swollen face, so that he came to his senses.
Lu Bu prides himself on being the number one general in the world, invincible in martial arts, but he didn't expect to be beaten by a delicate little girl today, even if this little girl is the person he loves! So Lu Bu was even more angry, not only did he not learn his lesson, but instead went back to get Fang Tian's halberd, rode a red rabbit horse and broke into the palace again, wanting to fight Li Xiang against the three lilies.
Li Xiang laughed angrily at him, this guy made such a big move, and recruited the emperor, Wang Yun, Ma Riyan, Yang Biao and others, and he didn't know how to restrain himself. The most hateful thing is that Liu Xie, the emperor, actually provoked Li Xiang and Lu Bu to compete, and asked Li Xiang to teach this reckless man who didn't know how to be polite a lesson.
Li Xiang can see that if he doesn't compete in this martial arts, it is estimated that Liu Xie will hate Lu Bu. Who let Lu Bu ride a horse and carry a halberd to break into the palace? Do you think you are Dong Zhuo? If you want to be Dong Zhuo, you have to end up with Dong Zhuo, and you must be killed. On the contrary, if Li Xiang defeated Lu Bu, although Lu Bu would be very faceless, the emperor's breath would not punish Lu Bu too much.
Come on, since Liu Xie wants to teach him a lesson, and Lu Bu himself begs to be slapped in the face, what else is there to be polite about Li Xiang? Let's compare. (To be continued.) )
