Lu Qiang's death affected not only Yuan Shao, but also Liu Jian.

After the news was transmitted back to Yecheng, Liu Jian was saddened.

After all, when he was in Chang'an, Lu Qiang was a good friend of Liu Jian.

Or it is more appropriate to forget the friendship of the year, from the heart, Lu Qiang's help to Liu Jian is there, and this help is not small, Liu Jian has always been grateful for his kindness in his heart.

Regarding Lu Qiang's behavior in Chang'an City, Liu Jian enthusiastically put forward his suggestions to Lu Qiang, and he hoped that Lu Qiang would not interfere too much in the affairs of the court and the Son of Heaven, after all, the current world is not the same as the world that Liu Hong was in charge of back then.

Liu Jian hopes that Lu Qiang can control his mouth and behavior, and then live to the end of his life, so that his old friend will also be comforted.

But obviously, Lu Qiang is a little disobedient.

But in fact, if Lu Qiang really listened to Liu Jian, he would not have become the person he is now, he would not have joined forces with Liu Jian in the first place, and he would not even have helped Liu Jian.

He will join Zhang and let them join the stream and become one of the ten permanent servants.

Liu Jian set up a spiritual position for Lu Qiang in Yecheng, and ordered officials at all levels in Yecheng to hang him.

After that, he asked Jia Xu to carefully investigate Lu Qiang's death.

No matter what the details, let him find out.

Jia Xu's movements are fast, or rather, the people under his hands are moving quickly.

The minutiae was sent to Liu Jian soon after.

First of all, Liu Wei had met Lu Qiang a few days before Lu Qiang's death and had a long talk with Lu Qiang in detail.

And two days after Liu Wei and Lu Qiang met, it was Li Ru who secretly came to the door.

followed by Lu Qiang's unexplained death.

And this matter, in Chang'an, seems to have been deliberately suppressed.

After the news came back, the people in Yecheng were all smart people, so they naturally understood what was going on.

Although Liu Jian also had some understanding of Liu Bian's personality and personality, after hearing this, he couldn't help but be angry.

In front of all his subordinates, he slapped the table heavily: "When today's son is stupid and kills virtuous people without permission, what contribution did Lu Qiang make to the Han Dynasty, and he actually did such a tyrannical thing?" It's chilling! ”

"This matter has now been suppressed by the imperial court, once there is a rumor, how will the people of the world view him as an emperor?"

"There are all the virtuous people in the court, how can they not chill when they hear it?"

"Wouldn't the world's capable people have resentment?"

"Besides, now that Liangzhou is not good at using troops, and there are many rebellions in Guanzhong, what does it have to do with Lu Qiang?"

"Why do you have to kill Lu Qiang?"

Tian Feng has always been known for his uprightness.

He said very frankly: "The Son of Heaven did not act like this to take into account the overall situation of the imperial court, nor to stabilize the situation in Guanzhong. The Son of Heaven acted in this way just to vent his personal anger.

"According to Tian's view, such a person is really not qualified to manage the world, and he really has no ability to protect the Han Dynasty, as the king of a country, the most important thing is to have a mind, he can't even tolerate a life-saving benefactor, can such a person tolerate all the people in the world?"

Tian Feng spoke straight, but what he said was generally very reasonable.

And today's remarks can be regarded as the voice of everyone present.

Liu Jian didn't criticize the Son of Heaven in public, he looked at Jia Xu on the side, and asked, "How is the situation on the Yuan family's side?" ”

"Huang Zu, Sun Jian and Cai Mao have all entered the land of Sizhou."

"It can be regarded as that they are more obedient, after they arrived in Sizhou, they did not rush to conquer the city."

"It's about putting down the rebellion that these low-level Li Shu have set off."

"It is said that the rebellion in various parts of Sizhou has now gathered from small to large groups."

"The person at the head claims to be Li Xiang, a disciple of the great sage and good teacher Zhang Jiao."

"It is said that this person has gathered four or five hundred thousand horses to kill the wang clan in various parts of Sizhou and seize the baggage of the cang."

"And now, after Sun Jian, Huang Zu, Cai Mao and others arrived in Sizhou, the first thing to suppress was the rebellious people."

"They divided their troops into three routes, attacked the rebels under Li Xiang's command, and helped the local army of the county in Sizhou to stabilize the situation."

"I heard that Li Xiang is gathering most of his army and preparing to fight Yuan Shu to the death."

"However, although Sun Jian and the others are strong, there are too many available troops under Li Xiang, and hundreds of thousands of troops are not his biggest momentum at the moment."

"I heard that countless displaced people in Sizhou, Guanzhong, Central Plains and other places have gathered towards the Luoyang side, and they have wantonly attacked and killed the dock forts of all kinds of heroes, which has become a situation that can make the powerful people of the Wang clan frightened."

Hearing this, Liu Jian nodded, and said: "These rebels composed of ordinary Li Shu homeless people, although they do not have excellent equipment and have not undergone formal training, but their combat power is extremely strong, they are fierce beasts that have been forced to the edge of the cliff, and they can even sacrifice their lives to fight with the local noble clans. ”

"In the face of such a large group of rabble with a large number and the intention to fight to the death, even if Yuan Shao and the troops of the local county soldiers are well armed, it is impossible to defeat them easily."

"On the contrary, a bad one will be subverted."

"Water can carry a boat, but it can also overturn a boat, and the people's hearts must not be lost."

Xun Yu said: "Yuan Shao's move is right, he went to Sizhou and did not rush to attack the prefectures and counties first, but first exterminated those rebels who stood on the opposite side of him, once he succeeded, he could get the strong support of the powerful clans in Sizhou counties and other places, and then there was no need to occupy the territory, and the five counties would be equivalent to being in his hands." ”

Fu Zhi stood up, made a long gesture at Liu Jian, and said: "General, according to the opinion of the last official, the general should also act now, since we have figured out Yuan Shao's routine, then we can't let him completely take the initiative, Yuan Shao wants to use the opportunity to exterminate the traitors to gain a foothold in Sizhou, we don't have to worry that he will quickly send troops to seize Chang'an, now we can also send troops to the land of Sanhe, by exterminating the rebels, we can also collect the hearts of the local nobles, In this way, Yuan Shao will not be left alone to concentrate on the land of Sizhou. ”

The opinion was unanimously agreed.

However, Liu Jian did not affirm or deny the opinions of the frustrated professors.

He only instructed those present: "In that case, then immediately inform the generals and lead the prepared troops and horses to assemble in the direction of Hanoi." ”

In fact, Liu Jian did not approve of Fu Zhi's suggestion very much.

Those rebels didn't want to become rebels themselves, they were just ordinary people living at the bottom of the Han Dynasty.

Because of the unprovoked evil government of the Son of Heaven, which led to today's results, should everything be counted on their heads?

And more importantly, these low-level Li people are the productive forces of the Han Dynasty.

Only by ensuring the number of people can the Han Dynasty stand on top of the world today and in the future.

The endless tyrannical massacre of the low-level Li people for no reason is a drain on the vitality of this dynasty and this country.

Liu Jian vowed not to do such things.

Of course, if there is to be a peaceful situation without any casualties, it is absolutely impossible.

But there must be a limit.

"Order, Yan Liang, Wen Chou, Zhang He, Gao Lan, and the Governor of Hebei's elite ten armies, began to march towards the land of three rivers."

"With Xu Rong and Gongsun Chan as the main and deputy vanguards, they led 5,000 elites to enter Hanoi first, watch the movements of Sizhou from afar, and wait for military orders."

When the people present heard that Liu Jian was going to send Xu Rong to fight, they couldn't help but be stunned.

Xu Rongzheng, as the general guarding Jizhou, has been guarding Liu Jian's home for more than a year or two.

It is precisely because of Xu Rong sitting in Yecheng that Liu Jian dares to rest assured that he will go east and west, and he does not have to worry about whether something will happen to the base camp.

But why did you send him out this time?
