Chapter 646: Marquis of Shu
In the deep front hall, under the light of the Changxin Palace lamp, Dong Zhuo's side pulled out a long shadow, filling the entire Majesty platform.
At this time, Dong Zhuo slowly wiped the sweat on his neck with a towel and said lightly:
"Okay, what Yizhou and Yongzhou, here we are all interested in the imperial court, and the power is used by the imperial court. Is this still hard? Since Yizhou is in trouble, let's give it a beating. The dog at home also kicks over the rice bowl, what do you not do at this time? As for what you're worried about? That's even if it's too much to think about. β
Dong Zhuo casually threw the towel on the platform and said word by word:
"I have been in the army for so long, and I have never heard of any Bashu heroes, these people can also fight? Laugh at! β
As Dong Zhuo finished speaking, the front hall fell into a stagnation, not only did San Zhao not speak, but even Liu Xie was silent.
Time passed, and the smile on Dong Zhuo's face gradually disappeared, and finally he asked very seriously:
"What? Think what our old Dong said is wrong? β
As soon as the words fell, Liu Xie immediately took over:
"Taishi is right, Bashu is contemptuous, gentle and gentle, and there are indeed no warriors. Since the Taishi has decided to fight, this battle is bound to be fought. β
And the following three Zhao, Situ Zhao Qi already supported the fight, so he was naturally happy to support it.
Although Taiwei Zhao Qian also supported the fight, he was angry when he saw Dong Zhuo, a cool barbarian, ridiculing the people of Benzhou like this, so he sat on the side with a dark face and didn't say a word.
Only Sikong Zhao Wen couldn't bear it, and he originally planned to protect himself, but when he saw that things went wrong, he could only be honest.
He got up and saluted only the little emperor, and then said frankly:
"Your Majesty, Chengdu has indeed contacted the minister. Behind these people's cut off the road is actually to want the court to love Yizhou more and love the townspeople. Although his deeds are hateful, his feelings are pitiful. Your Majesty is the lord of the four seas of the world, and he should not be interested in similarities and differences, but should be blessed. How can you only favor Yongzhou and abandon Yizhou? β
Then Zhao Wen hesitated for a moment, and finally said firmly:
"Your Majesty, this battle can be spared. As long as Your Majesty's heart is beneficial to the state, I, Zhao Wen, promise here that Yizhou will always be Your Majesty's Yizhou. On the contrary, if you insist on sending troops to Yizhou, it can only make the relatives hate, and the enemies are fast! β
Here, Zhao Wen did a huge psychological struggle in his heart, trying to find a balanced place for the countryside and the imperial court, but he was immediately ridiculed by Zhao Qi.
I only heard Zhao Qi sneer and reprimanded:
"Sikong, you are also the hope of virtue and wisdom in the world, why are you so stupid and naΓ―ve today? Are you sure? How do you do insurance? How dare you guarantee it? How do you know that those Yizhou Shituo asked you not to repair the plank road darkly Chen Cang? Besides, even if one or two Yizhou scholars really think so, how dare you think that they can represent the meaning of Yizhou? I'm afraid you have forgotten that it is a group of Liu Yanpeng party called Dongzhou Shi who are now in control of Yizhou? I think Sikong is really dizzy, you can't see this trick, it's better to let yourself be virtuous! β
At this time, Zhao Wen, who had been patient with Zhao Qi, finally broke out, he stood up suddenly, he didn't care about dizziness, and scolded angrily:
"Zhao Weiqing, how long are you going to mess around? The world is so far, are you still planning for the portal? Do you think you can restore the Han Dynasty by relying on your Yongzhou alone? Do you think this world is the world of your Yongzhou? You rats, Tian occupies a high position, blocking the heroes of the world, don't you have a sin? If you want me to be virtuous, then how should you rats who plague the world deal with yourself? β
But Zhao Wen's remarks became a laughing stock, just because there was no Zhao Qi in the direction he got up and pointed, and it was obviously empty.
Now, this advice has become even more ridiculous.
Even Zhao Wen's brother Zhao Qian couldn't help but close his eyes, he couldn't bear to look at this scene.
And Zhao Qi, who was named, laughed even more, and he sneered:
"The old man is stupid, and he even pointed to me as a pillar."
Hearing this, the dizziness and dark shadow in Zhao Wen's eyes subsided one after another, and he was embarrassed when he saw the scene in front of him clearly.
It turned out that there was only one pillar in front of him, how could there be any Zhao Qi.
At this time, Zhao Wen seemed to be deflated all of a sudden, he turned around tremblingly, fell to the ground, and pleaded guilty to Liu Xie, who was above him:
"The minister is guilty, the minister is guilty!"
Speaking of which, Zhao Wen was even more tearful.
Liu Xie also heard it sadly, he rarely opened his mouth, and said warmly:
"Old Situ, please sit down, I know your feelings, this military discussion is not over yet."
Zhao Wen raised his head and looked at the handsome young man, and his heart warmed.
But just as Zhao Wen was about to stand up, the dizziness struck again, and just as he was about to faint, a powerful big hand held him.
It was his brother Zhao Qian who strode over.
After Zhao Qian helped Zhao Wen onto the mat, he said loudly to the small yellow door outside the hall:
"Go and prepare the preserves."
Xiao Huangmen, who had been ordered by the Grand Master, hurriedly went to prepare, and after a while, more than a dozen palace maids each walked into the hall with candied fruit and broken honey.
At this time, Zhao Qian began to laugh:
"We're all for the big man, maybe this is a bit top, but this heart can't be wrong. Drink some honey, eat some preserves, let's continue to talk about this. β
After speaking, Shi Shiran sat down and enjoyed the service of the palace maid with peace of mind.
Only Dong Zhuo on the stage of His Majesty looked at him with appreciation, and he understood very well why Zhao Qian did this.
Although I don't know why, people who eat these sweet things will always have a much better temperament.
It seems that this Zhao Qian is also a good general, but I don't know why he lost to the Yellow Turban Army in Runan? But Dong Zhuo thought about it again, didn't we also lose to those crazy people?
Thinking of this, Dong Zhuo looked at Zhao Qian with more understanding.
And over there, the little emperor Liu Xie also began to pick up a piece of candied fruit and eat it, and he was also wondering whether to fight in his heart.
Afterwards, Liu Xie whispered to the middle-aged beauty beside him:
"Han Shangshi, you ask everyone to take down the food table."
The middle-aged beautiful woman saluted respectfully, and then took a group of palace maids to go down with the remnants of food.
The fragrance is curling, the figure is plump, and Dong Zhuo, who has been expressionless, inevitably took a few more looks, and this fell in Liu Xie's eyes, thoughtfully.
Zhao Qian below saw that everyone had filled their stomachs, and took the initiative to get up and say to the little emperor:
"Your Majesty, the military affairs should be decided at the right time, and the ministers, Taishi, and Sikong are all interested in quelling the rebellion, and please ask Your Majesty to decide."
At this time, Liu Xie glanced at Dong Zhuo, then nodded and said:
"There was a saying in the previous dynasty that those who offend my Han Tianwei will be punished even if they are far away. And now all kinds of behaviors in Yizhou are trampling on the prestige of the Han family, how can the prestige of the Han family be suppressed? β
After setting this tone, he said to the disappointed Zhao Wen:
"Old Situ, you said yes before. I am the lord of the world, and I am blessed all over the world. This Yizhou is naturally also my Han land, and its people are naturally also my Han people, of course, we must enjoy the grace we deserve. But only if it is given by me, not by them! Old Situ, do you understand what I said? β
Zhao Wen had nothing to say, so he could only salute.
As a result, the matter of counterinsurgency in Yizhou was decided. But how to fight, Liu Xie is at a loss, he has no military experience after all, maybe he can be an emperor in the future, but not now.
Therefore, he put his eyes on Dong Zhuo, meaning that he needs you to speak.
In fact, this is also the tacit understanding between him and Dong Zhuo, and they can maintain a similar balance now, because Liu Xie respects Dong Zhuo very much and hands over all military affairs to Dong Zhuo to decide.
And what about Dong Zhuo? Xu is bored, or likes Liu Xie, or really wants to make Dahan great again, in short, he is also quite restrained from Liu Xie.
But the rudeness and stubbornness of the Liangzhou warriors on his body are still considered by some courtiers to be domineering, and this is up to everyone.
But no matter what, the mutual restraint between the emperor and the powerful ministers made the carriage in Kansai still run steadily.
So when the little emperor set the tone, Dong Zhuo took over and began to talk about this battle strategy.
I saw him preach in a rough and majestic Kansai accent:
"The first thing in the military is to choose the general. The generals are virtuous and invincible, and the generals are incompetent, exhausting the three armies. And after the selection of generals, the selection of soldiers, the number of officials, bravery, and sparseness all determine the success or failure of the war. And again, it is military rations, bows, horses, and fighting tools. β
After Dong Zhuo finished speaking, Taiwei Zhao Qian continued:
"The art of war is cloudy, the husband does not fight and the temple counts more, wins. In this battle, our army must win a quick battle, so we must have enough understanding of Yizhou. β
In fact, before coming, Zhao Qian discussed all the opportune things with the staff of the Taiwei Shogunate, and at this moment, he was talking eloquently:
"There are no more than three people in Yizhou, one is Liu Zhang, the second is Zhao Wei, and the third is Jia Long. Among these three, Liu Zhang is a weak scholar, who is a coercive subordinate, and his heart is unwilling to confront the imperial court. And Na Jia Long is the core of Yizhou Shi, and what he wants is only for the officials of the first and second dynasties, and his plan is also to advance by rebellion. Only Zhao Yun's wolf ambition is vainly trying to seal the territory in Yizhou. His people are just lonely souls and wild ghosts who were defeated in a war, and if they were lucky not to be brought to justice, they were already the grace of the imperial court, and then they were specially selected as the Taishou of Shu County. β
After saying so much in one breath, Zhao Qian eased his breath and finally concluded:
"From the above, it can be seen that the rebels are either scholars, local tyrants, or remnants, and they are not good at military affairs. Moreover, the Bashu people are full of Han minds, and most of their accompanying rebels are coerced. As long as the imperial court selects talents and uses their abilities, and the whole party is united, the opposition party will undoubtedly be defeated. β
Zhao Qian really deserves to be a veteran, and he has a good understanding of the situation at the top of the rebel army. Liu Xie, who was still worried, was relieved by Zhao Qian's words.
Of course, he also understood the meaning of Zhao Qian's last sentence, so he reciprocated and asked:
"Old lady, who do you think can be the main general of the counterinsurgency."
Zhao Qian was waiting for this sentence, and he mentioned one person without giving in:
"The so-called virtuous do not avoid relatives, this person is the son of the former emperor Lao Sikong Laiyan, Zhengqiang Hou Laimin. Nanyang Lai's family, seven generations of loyalty, the emperor's family, family history. β
What is the relationship between Zhao Qian and this Laimin? Personally, Laimin's father has a great kindness to Zhao Qian, and it is natural for him to take care of the deceased's son now.
But from the perspective of public intentions, this Laimin's family background is undoubtedly an acceptable choice for all forces.
First of all, Lai Min's brother-in-law Huang Wan and Liu Zhang are relatives, and with such a relationship, Lai Min is undoubtedly able to have a direct dialogue with Liu Zhang, which naturally has a more flexible choice for the heroes of Yizhou.
Secondly, this Laimin, from the Nanyang Emperor's family, has a close relationship with Yizhou Haoshi, and it is also a marginal force in the ecology of Kansai, and it is often the same as the branch.
Finally, what about this Laimin? It is still from the shogunate of King Chen Liu, and it can be said that it is Liu Xie's private person, so the little emperor must also be satisfied with this candidate.
Sure enough, when Zhao Qian recommended Lai Min, Liu Xie smiled at the corner of his mouth.
But at this time, Sikong Zhao Qi disagreed, and he directly broke Zhao Qian's thoughts:
"Okay, you two brothers are attacking and defending, saying that you want to fight Yizhou, but in fact, you are still sitting at both ends. The one you recommended is okay to manipulate and discipline, how can you win the battle? So your mind is really obvious, your name is conquest, but it is really a soothing! β
Zhao Qian didn't refute when he saw Zhao Qi say that he had broken his mind, but said calmly:
"It's the best option today. Now the imperial court is worried about internal and external troubles, but because of this, it can only suppress Yizhou, but because of this, it is necessary to pacify Yizhou. Now the external show is to attack, and the inside is to appease, and the Yizhou traitors are divided and disintegrated, so that the rebellion can be quickly quelled. β
Zhao Qi was also silent when he said this, because from the perspective of public intentions, what Zhao Qian said was right.
But then again, why should he Zhao Qi be public? Are you Zhao Qian saying this because of public intentions?
So Zhao Qi still shook his head and advised Liu Xie, who was the leader:
"Your Majesty, the Captain's words are very unacceptable. Handing over the counterinsurgency army to a pure Confucian, and hoping to appease the success or failure of the war, is a child's play with the safety of the imperial court. I intend to recommend a person, who will be slightly proficient, diligent in military and political affairs, and I am a fierce general in Kansai, who is the former Duan Lao Taiwei clan brother, Hu Ben Zhonglang will Duan Xuan. β
The Duan Xuan recommended by Zhao Qi is indeed a good general, and it is also in line with the balance of various forces.
First of all, this simmer is under Dong Zhuo's command, although he is not a descendant, but he is also a general. Then his wife is the daughter of the Jingzhao Wei clan, and it can be said that she is also connected to the Yongzhou Shi.
It's just that if you use this paragraph as handsome, then the people of Yizhou will suffer. With his people and the tigers and wolves of the Liangzhou soldiers under his command, the Yizhou soldiers can't even save their lives, let alone use this to climb the streets.
But what does this have to do with Zhao Qi?
But how could the two brothers Zhao Qian and Zhao Wen be willing? They immediately quarreled with Zhao Qi, and Liu Xie, who was the leader, could not be determined.
On the one hand, he liked Laimin, but he also knew that what Zhao Qi said was not bad. The Zhao brothers thought about Yizhoushi's appeal so simply? Just appease? If there is really an accident, Laimin's ability, it will really be a big defeat.
And Kansai just lost one game in Bingzhou, although it didn't hurt his muscles and bones, but if he lost to Yizhou again, then the situation would be different.
But Duan simmered?
At this moment, Zongzheng Liu Song, who had not spoken from beginning to end, suddenly interjected:
"Your Majesty, what do you think of General Zuo Liu Bei?"
As soon as Liu Song said this, not only Liu Xie looked sideways, but even Dong Zhuo looked sideways, and even bypassed Liu Xie directly, and shot a few cases:
"That's it!"
