Chapter 53: Winter Hunting and Sowing Discord

"Do you think I'm a bully?"

Liu Wei sat next to Liu Fan, and slowly pumped the back of the knife in his face.

Liu Fan seemed to have lost his soul, lost his soul, and his body couldn't help trembling.

I don't know if the snow under his knees is too cold, or the head of Liu Dan in front of him is too hideous.

"Are you Liu Dan or Liu Fan?" Seeing that this kid was silent, Liu Wei continued to ask.

Although he was the emperor, he was very fond of his courtiers.

He recognized the three dukes and nine qings clearly.

But there are not many officials below who can match their names and identities to their names.

"Minister...... Liu Fan. Liu Fan's eyes shrank and dodged, "The minister ...... for a while"

"Shut up!" Liu Wei raised his wrist lightly and slapped a knife in Liu Fan's face, "Whatever I ask, you answer, don't say a word of superfluous words, I won't listen to what I say, but you will suffer more crimes, there is no need." ”

Liu Fan's calm and honest face can barely see his original appearance.

Ziqing and the bulging scars made his face look even more hideous and terrifying than Liu Dan's head.

"You two brothers conspired with Ma Teng to take the opportunity to leave me outside Luoyang City, just because I asked you to go to Changli and Zhangye to be the Taishou?" Liu Wei asked.

The war is over, but Liu Wei still has to figure things out.

"Yes......" Liu Fan said honestly.

The hot scars on his face were infinitely magnified in this ice and snow, and the words begging for mercy were stuck in his throat, but because of the pain, he didn't dare to say a word more.

"Just because you have a grudge, you want to kill the king?" Liu Wei asked.

Liu Fan seemed to be afraid that Liu Fan would misunderstand, so he hurriedly shook his head, "No, it's not." The minister thinks that Your Majesty has already known about my father's preparations in Yizhou, so ...... That's why it's ......."

Liu Wei couldn't help laughing, but what he said was quite sincere.

"Your father is ready to be the emperor in Yizhou?" Liu Wei asked.

Liu Fan looked up at Liu Wei in astonishment, "Your Majesty...... Do you really already know? ”

"Didn't you already guess that Du Xingbing was going to kill me? Why ask? Liu Wei asked rhetorically.

Liu Fan looked pained, lowered his head and muttered: "The minister has no choice, the minister knows that His Majesty ordered my brothers to go to Zhangye and Changli, just to kill them in a normal way." My father's rebellion is not something my brother can stop, I ...... I don't want to die either. ”

"You're to the point, if you can live well, no one wants to die." Liu Fan praised Liu Fan's nonsense, and then asked, "Where is Ma Teng now?" ”

"Minister...... I don't know. After he promised to join forces and take the opportunity to attack Luoyang, he sent a messenger, only to tell the minister that he had led the elite under his command to pass Chang'an. But where is now, the minister really doesn't know. Liu Fan seemed to be afraid that Liu Wei would not believe it, and repeatedly emphasized it.

And after breathing a sigh of relief, he explained: "Your Majesty has laid down a full five routes of soldiers and horses in Jingzhao and Hongnong, even if Ma Teng wants to make a detour, I'm afraid it will not be very easy. ”

Five-way?

Liu Wei was stunned, after counting He Miao and Lu Bu, he finally understood how Liu Fan counted the five-way soldiers and horses.

"What is the number of soldiers and horses led by Ma Teng?" Liu Wei asked.

Liu Fan shook his head, "The minister doesn't know, he didn't tell the truth to the minister." ”

"You're ready to kill me and attack Luoyang, you don't even know how many soldiers your allies have bringed, your battle is really hasty." Liu Wei slashed at Liu Fan's neck with a knife on the back, and couldn't help scolding.

Such an opponent made him feel inferior to even the bandits in Bears Ears Mountain.

It's not your average waste!

Liu Fan screamed and fell to the side, and touched his neck in a panic.

Probably he thought that Liu Wei would cut off his head......

At this time, in this humble camp, the raging fire almost lit up most of the sky.

In the polar opposition between the flames and the snow, the convict army in armor was galloping on horseback.

The shouts of killing, the screams, and all sorts of chaotic sounds converged into a mess, filling the entire camp with chaos.

"Send someone to hand over Liu Dan's head to Liu Yan in the name of Han Sui!" Liu Wei instructed Yinglin.

Yinglin was about to agree, but Xun You said: "Your Majesty, I am afraid that this matter needs to be arranged with trustworthy and resolute people, otherwise it will be very easy to be exposed." ”

Liu Wei nodded, but said, "Your worries are also mine's, but where to find trustworthy and determined people?" When I think about it, I can't think of such a person. ”

"Instead of this, it is better to directly arrange a loyal person, let him just bring the head over, and tell Liu Yan in Han Sui's tone, I, Han Sui, have been pastor in Yizhou for a long time, and this head was snatched by him from Ma Teng's soldiers."

"I don't mean anything else, I just want Liu Dan to be buried where he should be buried, and be a favor."

"Just say such a few simple words, and don't say a superfluous word."

"Whether this is successful or not, I don't really care about it, if it can be done, everyone will naturally be happy. If not, I have nothing to regret. It's just a matter of doing it and maximizing the results. ”

Xun You is now very familiar with the emperor's vicious tricks.

But listening to the emperor's tone in such a relaxed tone, he couldn't help but be a little surprised by this plan to sow discord among three people in one breath, especially the sentence that was easy to do, which had the effect of the finishing touch.

"The minister is ashamed, I really can't think of a person who can not only pretend to be Han Sui's subordinates, but also be calm and resolute in the face of Yizhou Mu." Xun You smiled bitterly.

He made the suggestion, but he could not find a suitable answer.

"It doesn't matter, just pick a few people from Luo Baojun and arrange it." Liu Wei commanded.

The army of prisoners is full of eunuchs, which is definitely not usable.

"Yui!" Xun You, who couldn't think of any better choice, had no choice but to respond like this.

……

At the tail of this winter, Liu Wei finally returned to Luoyang.

When he left Xin'an, he had been thinking about Ma Teng.

He thought that he could meet this hero, who had raised several generals, in the snowy land of Xin'an.

It turned out to be an accident.

After the Battle of Wudao Valley, Liu Wei stayed in Xin'an for more than ten days, and at the same time sent a probe horse to explore the west.

Outcome......

The news brought back by Tanma made Liu Wei feel a little uncomfortable.

After Lu Bu went west to Luoyang at his behest, he has been leading his army to hover in Beidi, Hedong County and other places north of Chang'an this winter.

Coincidentally, Ma Teng, who bypassed Chang'an, collided directly with Lu Bu.

The two of them had a big fight without saying a word.

The war lasted about the same time as shortly after Liu Wei entered Hongnong County and before he arrived in Xin'an.

这一战两个人打了个难分难解,跟群狼斗虎似的,一会儿你打我,一会儿我打你。

The two of them hit each other, and Ding Yuan and Huangfu Song, who were close at hand, were all shocked.

Ma Teng didn't seem to know at first that there were four soldiers and horses hiding near him, including Liu Wei.

It wasn't until Ding Yuan came from the east and Huangfu Song led the army to cut off his back road that he reacted.

This old boy is also a decisive person, and when he saw this, he immediately cut off the gecko's tail, and ran to Liangzhou.

Liu Wei is still looking forward to a head-on confrontation with Ma Teng.

As a result, his previous deployment of troops almost caused this old boy to be buried directly in Hedong County.

Therefore, Liu Wei had no choice but to return to Luoyang with regret.

This winter hunt on a whim lasted for almost three months.

The real game is one that you didn't catch, but on other levels, it can be regarded as a perfect completion of the winter hunting plan.

At this point, in addition to the right Fufeng, the bandits of Sanfu, including Hongnong County, were cleared.

It's really clean now!

The air in Luoyang City seemed to be much fresher than before Liu Wei left.

This is something that Liu Wei can clearly feel from the subjective level.

The streets are cleaner, and the people's spirits seem to be better.

Even the Right Feather Forest Army garrisoned outside the city looked like a soldier.

Everything seems to be moving in a better direction.

After meeting Lu Zhi, Zhu Jun and others who came to greet him, Liu Wei entered the palace first to meet the Empress Dowager He.

The Han Dynasty emphasized filial piety.

No matter what Liu Wei thinks in his heart, or what the purpose of meeting the Empress Dowager He is.

But after he returned to Beijing, he put this matter in the first place, at least in the eyes of the ministers and doctors, the emperor is filial piety.

At a time when the entire Luoyang is developing in a good direction, Changle Palace is even darker.

Even in the daytime, after Liu Wei walked in, he wanted to light two lamps to provide himself with some clearer vision.

"Is Auntie going to confine herself here? The windows are sealed so tightly that others will misunderstand. Liu Wei sat down on the futon, and looked at the Empress Dowager He who was sitting casually.

Liu Wei's words made Empress Dowager He's eyes reveal some nervousness.

"It's too cold in winter, and the windows are sealed with cold wind, so it's warmer." Empress Dowager He explained.

Liu Wei pouted and nodded, "I still think that my mother has something else in mind, so it turns out that this is the case, then it should be sealed." By the way, during the time I left, my mother didn't think about killing my uncompetitive son and taking over the government again? ”

Empress Dowager He was shocked.

Her gaze wandered uncomfortably, and she shook her head and explained, "I didn't think so, never. ”

Not only did she think about it, she did it.

But the result of the incident made her deeply suspicious of herself and his son.

He Jin's old subordinates, after hearing Empress Dowager He's plan, almost scared to death one by one.

After she sent someone to deliver the message, the two escaped from Luoyang on the same day.

Another one actually ran to tell Zhu Jun all his plans.

The next day, Lu Zhi led his army back to Luoyang......

Zhang Xiong's dog didn't eat anything, and he did even more desperately, he actually led the army to guard outside the Changle Palace.

Just stationed in the forbidden province, it is Zhang Xiong's responsibility, and she can't say that there is anything wrong with others.

It was also the occurrence of these things that made Empress Dowager He put away all her illusions and began to face him squarely as the emperor's son.

Although she didn't want to admit it, she had to admit that the government was completely in the hands of the emperor.
