Chapter 29: Keep Wen Ruo!
This plausible map, if the average person sees it, will only be regarded as a random graffiti drawn by the Son of Heaven on a whim, but Xun Yu can see at a glance that although there are many differences in the details of this map, it as a whole draws the entire world of the Han Dynasty and many surrounding areas.
What Xun Yu couldn't understand was that there were huge islands on the sea on this map, which was no smaller than most states and counties.
"Could it really be a temporary idea?"
Of course he didn't know that Liu Xuan drew a map of East Asia with a wave of his hand, but after all, he came from later generations, and his memory would not be so accurate, and there were many differences from today's situation.
Although Xun Yu had doubts, the more he looked at it, the more he felt that the picture drawn by the new emperor contained many meanings.
Just like the place where Liu Xuan walked around, if combined with today, isn't it where the Son of Heaven lives? And the emperor's words just now that there are many princes in the world also made Xun Yu's evaluation of the young Son of Heaven a few points higher.
"Although Your Majesty is not very old, he has sharp eyes and a clear mind, and he can see that there is already a great chaos today!
Generally speaking, only someone who is in a position of power will ask about things such as the general trend of the world, which also means that as long as you can answer to the satisfaction of the other person, then the next reuse is almost inevitable.
Xun Yu raised filial piety and honesty into the palace as the palace order, did not look forward to his own talent to be valued by the Son of Heaven, and then reused himself in the court, and he tried his best to repay the grace of the king, and supported the general of the building.
It's just that this examination came too suddenly, and Liu Xuan's expression couldn't tell if it meant or not, Xun Yu looked at it for a moment, and finally tried to ask: "I don't know how many princes are on this map?"
Liu Xuan smiled, he knew that Xun Yu was willing to continue to 'play' with him, if he was not interested or couldn't see the true meaning of this map, then he wouldn't specifically ask about this.
After thinking about it, he picked up the pen and added a few more strokes to the picture: "That's it!"
Xun Yu approached and took a closer look, only to see that the map was densely packed, almost everywhere was surrounded by circles, Liu Xuan didn't say which of these princes they were, but Xun Yu's heart tightened, and even a cold sweat poured out - he is such a talented and talented person, and he is very good at strategizing, even if he does not have a map that shows the general trend of the world, he has a rough spectrum in his heart.
What frightened him the most was Liu Xuan's seemingly random strokes, each of which could find the right name in his chest, if the Son of Heaven did this deliberately, then this new monarch has a far-sighted vision, I am afraid that there are few people in the world.
"Could it be that the heavens want to rejuvenate the Han dynasty, so they deliberately borrowed Dong Zhuo's hand to support this new monarch to rule the world?"
Feeling a little strange in his heart, he pointed to the northwest land on the map and asked, "Why is this place divided into so many?"
In fact, the map drawn by Liu Xuan is divided into pieces according to the forces, and it is impossible to see who is the same family at all, but the forces of each family are clearly distinguished.
Asking this question, it is obvious that he deliberately tested Liu Xuan in combination with today's situation.
The king chooses the minister, and the minister also chooses the king!
Liu Xuan knew that if his answer could not satisfy this Xun Wenruo, he was afraid that he would not want to hear any high opinions from him. And it is very likely that after a period of time, he will abandon the official again as in the original 'history' - as for the princes without Cao Cao, what choice Xun Wenruo will make in the future, it is not for him to consider.
However, for Xun Yu's question, Liu Xuan didn't even bother to answer, but just pretended to smile profoundly: "If Wen knows it, why bother asking?"
This answer sounded a little unpleasant, but Xun Yu was very satisfied with it.
Although Liu Xuan's answer didn't say anything, it actually revealed the new emperor's next plan in front of him.
Dong Zhuo is powerful, sitting in the northwest, adjacent to Chang'an, but such a vast area, it must be governed by his hands, he himself is in Luoyang, in fact, there is a disconnect with his own forces.
I couldn't see anything for a while, but over time, his subordinates would inevitably have some dissent in their hearts, and it was completely uncertain whether they would act according to Dong Zhuo's orders at that time.
In Xun Yu's heart, as long as Dong Zhuo does not leave Luoyang for a day, then his control over the Northwest armies will be lower and lower day by day, and in the end, all the soldiers and horses of the Northwest will not be under Dong Zhuo's command - if someone is secretly using some means or something, then the process will be faster.
Without the support of the Northwest Army, Dong Zhuo could only rely on these soldiers and horses he brought to Luoyang - although these soldiers and horses were a headache, they were not impossible to deal with. Not to mention, since Lu Bu can oppose Ding Yuan, he can also oppose Dong Zhuo, which is nothing more than the need for greater benefits to make him tempted.
Cao Cao has more Yulin Army in hand, and there are Yulin Tigers, which are enough to compete with Dong Zhuo's soldiers and horses, and then kill the first evil with the momentum of thunder, and his soldiers are in chaos, and the next thing to do is to clean up the mess.
In just the blink of an eye, Xun Yu already had a complete set of plans and layouts in his heart, but he thought that this set of layouts had been set by Liu Xuan a long time ago, and he just guessed it, and he secretly admired it when he was surprised.
"This new emperor has made all preparations without a word!"
Cao Cao had a close relationship with the new emperor, and he had long known about it. Xunyou, the servant of the Yellow Gate of his own clan, is the easiest to know about these things because of his duties, and he has already secretly told him about it.
It is with this news that Xun Yu can have such a speculation.
However, he didn't know that although he had guessed a lot, it was still much worse than Liu Xuan's real plan.
"Wen Ruo will talk about it first, with the strength of the princes along the way, what should you do if you want to rule the world?"
Liu Xuan compares himself to a prince all the way, and Xun Yu agrees in his heart - although Liu Xuan is the Son of Heaven, but the princes of the world do not obey the order and cannot be mobilized, so the strength that the Son of Heaven can use is really not much more than that of a prince.
In this way, what Liu Xuan wants to ask himself is not dealing with Dong Zhuo or anything like that, but how to regain control of the world in the future.
"That's what I'm good at!"
Gazing at the map for a while, Xun Yu found that the princes all the way here, if they really wanted to beat down the country little by little in the way of the princes, it was too difficult.
Because he is in the land of four wars, he is closely connected with all the princes of one or even several roads, and his strength is limited.
At this time, Xun Yu realized that the danger faced by the Son of Heaven was much more sinister than he had thought - if all the princes of the world were disobedient, the court would be shattered in an instant.
Of course, this is the worst-case scenario, a little better is that the princes of the world regard the court as nothing, and then they each fight endlessly, but the court was still more than self-preservation at that time, and could not afford to send troops to quell the chaos, so they could only watch the princes swallow each other, until they were so strong that the court could not parry, then the royal gas was over.
"Or is it attached to a prince?"
Just thinking of it and immediately denying it, wouldn't this be the same as now? Who can guarantee that those princes will be better than Dong Zhuo and loyal to the Han family?
After thinking about it for a while, I finally thought of only one way: "It seems that the only way to do this is to abandon one side first and do our best to attack the other." ”
After all, Xun Yu was one of the best strategists of this era and even in the next few decades, and he quickly thought of the most suitable method.
This is also in line with Liu Xuan's real plan.
"If you think that Wen Wen, which direction should you attack?"
At this time, Xun Yu's thoughts turned rapidly, and he forgot that this was just a sketch drawn casually without checking it for a while, and naturally told the corresponding 'princes' in his heart.
"First take the Guanzhong and the northwest land, so that you can rely on the natural danger of Tongguan to prevent the eastern princes from attacking. "Not mentioning the Kanto region first, it is naturally combined with the current situation. Once the Son of Heaven kills Dong Zhuo, then Dong Zhuo and his family will basically be in a state of hostility, and this situation will provoke the Kwantung princes? Could it be that he wants to be attacked by the princes of the two sides at the same time?
As he spoke, he tapped a few circles with his fingers: "Although Li Dao and Guo Yan have been under Dong Zhuo for a long time, the two of them have great power in their hands, and they do not have the heart to hold the power of one side alone. Zhang Ji and Fan Chou are not too much different, just to prevent these people from relying on each other, if possible, it is best to transfer the two of them elsewhere. ”
"It's just that Niu Fu is Dong Zhuo's son-in-law, and he is bound to die endlessly......" Halfway through, Xun Yu suddenly woke up to his words, if his words were spread, even if he had ten lives, it would not be enough to die.
What's more, there is a very important point in his plan just now, that is, it is not impossible to completely abandon the capital of Jingshi Luoyang, but it is really detrimental to the majesty of the royal family if the Son of Heaven is angry and rebukes him, he can only admit his guilt.
But I don't know that Liu Xuan still has a headache about how to make Xun Yu accept the point of abandoning the Jingshi and moving to Chang'an, and he can't make him think that the Son of Heaven is incompetent and coerced by Dong Zhuo, but he doesn't want Xun Yu to only consider the strategic direction, and throw Luo Yang aside from the beginning.
"The minister is guilty!"
Xun Yu woke up and caused trouble to himself with his words, even if he was not afraid of death, he had to think about the Xun family, if he was implicated in the clan, then what kind of face did he have to see the ancestors and ancestors?
"It's just a game, what's the crime?"
Of course Liu Xuan didn't blame, he raised his hand to let Xun Yu get up, Xun Yu was a little relieved when he saw that the emperor was really not angry, but he had a new evaluation of the new emperor's bearing in his heart - it's not just that any emperor won't be angry when he hears that his courtiers let you move the capital to avoid trouble.
In addition, Xun Yu also found that from beginning to end, this young man never took the powerful Dong Zhuo in his eyes, and the idea of abandoning the official that had risen in recent times gradually faded a lot.
"Why don't you stay in the court for the time being, and see what changes have changed in this court. ”
