Volume 1 General White Horse Chapter 32 The thunder is loud and the rain is small
Seeing Gongsun Chan talking with the help, Hou Taishou's tone suddenly became more polite: "Bo Gui is reasonable, it's just that Li Gongzi, the old man helps you with this, you can't help in vain." ”
There is no free lunch in the world, Liu Li also came prepared, from Zhang Shiping's words, he also understood the current situation of Zhuojun, and also knew Hou Taishou's troubles.
"Hou Taishou, please rest assured, if I don't have some preparations, I won't come to you."
Hearing this, it aroused Hou Taishou's interest, he raised his head, looked at Liu Li with a serious face, and asked, "How do you say this?" ”
"Hou Taishou, Xianbei in the north is about to move, and is planning to raise troops to attack Youzhou, under the Liuzhou herdsman's tent, most people are in favor of retreating, not confronting Xianbei head-on."
With a bang, Hou Taishou stood up abruptly and glared at Liu Li: "How do you know about this!" Who told you that? ”
This is a confidential matter, the invasion of Xianbei in the north, except for the Taishou of various counties and counties, and the most trusted people under Liu Yu's account, no one knows about it.
"Could it be that you know someone under Liu Zhou's pastoral tent? No. Hou Taishou denied his idea.
A few months ago, Liu Yu also beat Liu Li fifty boards, and the two generals Xian Yufu and Yu Yin were all embarrassed, not to mention that Liu He was beaten like this.
"Hou Taishou, you don't care how I know this news, you just need to know that I am here to help you solve a big trouble."
"Just you?" Hearing this, Hou Taishou laughed, "You can't even solve your own family affairs, what kind of national affairs." ”
Seeing Liu Li's solemn expression, Hou Taishou only felt that he didn't look like he was talking big, waved his hand, and motioned for him to continue.
"Hou Taishou, this Xianbei attack on Youzhou is just a thunderstorm and a small rain, according to my speculation, Liu Yu will definitely send troops to meet the attack, and will never withdraw his troops."
"Li Gongzi, for the sake of you introducing a good husband to Lin'er, I don't blame you, but if you talk about the military situation in vain, if I am unreasonable today, I am afraid that your life will not be guaranteed, if there is no basis, please be cautious in your words and deeds."
"Liu Yu is a relative of the Han family, ordered by the imperial court, as the pastor of Youzhou, and his son is an official in the court, this Xianbei invasion, if he retreats, his precious son in the court will definitely be the first to be implicated."
Escaping from the battle and openly disobeying the king's order is a capital crime, and even if Liu Yu is ten heads, it is not enough to cut off.
"I heard that Liu Yu has a high prestige among foreign tribes, and he pays tribute at any time, and he has never been disturbed since he served as the pastor of Youzhou, but now it is abnormal, and there must be a reason for it."
The organization was clear, which made Hou Taishou look at Liu Li with admiration, "Li Gongzi, I didn't expect you to be just a private media, and you still have this insight, it's really not simple, so what is the reason?" Tell me about it. ”
"I boldly guess that Liu Yu has been guarding Youzhou all the year round, and the court may want to dismiss him when he sees that he is too comfortable." Liu Li relied on his solid historical foundation and recalled.
The Han family is declining, people have different hearts, but Liu Yu does not lose his loyalty, although Liu Li is angry about the matter of the fifty boards, but he still respects Liu Yu as a person, and most of the people in Youzhou have a positive evaluation of him.
Because he was sympathetic to the people, the imperial court imposed a strict grain tax, and it was Liu Yu who withstood the pressure to deal with the grain officials sent by the imperial court.
He is an honest and honest official, and it is precisely because of this that he has offended many people in the imperial court, and the officials who came to inspect him asked him for benefits, but he not only did not give it, but also slapped the other party with fifty boards.
The inspectors not only did not get any benefits from him, but were also beaten, so naturally they held a grudge and returned to the court to say a lot of bad things about Liu Yu openly and secretly.
But the imperial court couldn't find a reason to remove him, and recently, for some reason, it seems that he wants to use official business as an excuse to remove Liu Yu's Youzhou Mu.
And Liu Yu's son Liu He is an official in the imperial court, so he naturally heard some rumors.
Even businessman Zhang Shiping and Su Shuang knew about this news, so Liu Yu naturally knew about it.
This also became the basis for Liu Li's speculation, only to see Liu Li bow his hand and say: "Hou Taishou, this may be a self-directed and self-performed by Liu Zhoumu, Xiang Zhuang dancing the sword, intended for Pei Gong." ”
Hou Taishou sank his heart and thought carefully about Liu Li's words: "What do you mean, that Xianbei invasion is what Liu Yu meant?" ”
"Liu Zhoumu is a fair and upright person, if he is dismissed, he will definitely not frown, but his subordinates will never agree, it is not easy to follow Liu Yu to this day, how can he bear to lose his high-ranking officials." Liu Li said.
"Then tell me how to solve my troubles." Hou Taishou asked, even if it was really as Liu Li said, this Xianbei invasion was just a self-directed and self-acted play, then he would not dare to rashly send Gongsun Chan to the battlefield.
"Self-directed and self-acted plays, often the louder the momentum, the more realistic it is, and the easier it is to make the court believe, such a result, at most, is up to the point, now that Zhuojun is conscripting, you might as well give the Bogui brothers an official and a half-job, let him lead the troops there, and he will definitely be able to make military achievements."
Bang!
Liu Li hadn't finished speaking, but he heard Hou Taishou slam the table and shouted: "What are you talking nonsense, this is the battlefield, there are too many uncertainties on the battlefield, if you let Gongsun Zan go to the battlefield, wouldn't you push him into the fire pit!" ”
For a while, the atmosphere in the Hou Mansion became tense.
But Liu Li has a sense of proportion in his heart, he knows Hou Taishou's thoughts, this conscription is a good opportunity, a chance to give Gongsun Zan a chance to correct his name, but his thoughts, must not be said by him.
Seeing this, Gongsun Chan said, "Father, this is not what Li Gongzi thinks. ”
"What, is it still your idea?" Before he could finish speaking, Hou Taishou grabbed the words.
The relationship between father-in-law and son-in-law is often very delicate, he has this plan, and he has also proposed, Hou Lin heard this incident, and went directly to his house to complain, crying and making trouble, which made Hou Taishou also very embarrassed.
"The eldest husband should contribute to the country and build an immortal achievement, rather than the country is in trouble, and he will shrink to the rear."
"Good!" Gongsun Zhan's generous statement made Hou Taishou quite excited, "Since you have this awareness, then go ahead and beat the foreigners fiercely for me, so that they will never dare to invade my border again." ”
After speaking, Hou Taishou seemed to think of something, hurriedly lowered his voice, and added: "It's just Lin'er, Bogui, you have to say it for your father, otherwise she will come to Xingshi to ask for her guilt, and your father won't be able to help you." ”
"Father, I have already told Lin'er, and she agrees."
"That's good, that's good." Hou Taishou was overjoyed.
Then he paused, put away his joy, and his expression became serious, with a commanding tone.
