Although Liu Wei still had some doubts in his heart, he still put away the idea of continuing to ask again.

It was a mistake for him to ask Xiahoudun and Yinglin about this kind of thing.

Wiping the afterglow of the setting sun, the group rushed back to the single father city.

The first thing he did when he returned to the city, Liu Wei immediately summoned Xun You and Jia Xu.

"I went out of the city to play today, and I met a strange person named Jiao Xian, do you two know this person?" Liu Wei asked.

"The minister has not heard of this person." Jia Xu said.

Xun You groaned slightly and asked, "Your Majesty, is this Jiao Xian you said unkempt, barefoot, and his words are sometimes crazy, and sometimes seem to be unfathomable?" ”

"Exactly!" Liu Wei said.

Jia Xu has not heard of this person in Sanfu and Xiliang for a long time, and it seems that Jiao Xian's rumors are in the area of Chenliu and Hedong.

He didn't go far in his tracks.

Xun You said: "Your Majesty, this person is rumored to be a strange man in the mountains, and he is good at predicting things. He often pointed out the doubts of the people around him and deduced the good and the bad, but most of the time he talked crazy, and the people did not know what he meant, and only when things happened, did they suddenly react. ”

"It's just that there are rumors behind him that one day he suddenly felt that the society was overturned, and the world would be in chaos, so he no longer spoke, and since then, he often went up the mountain to chop firewood and distribute it to the people on the left and right, and shared food with the people with the white stones in the mountains, but when others talked to him, he didn't say anything."

Liu Wei bowed his head, "It seems that what you have heard is a rumor, the white stone in the mountain you just said, I ate it today." ”

"Your Majesty, you really met this person, and the minister has always been curious about what the white stone in the mountain is?" Xun You asked in surprise.

Liu Wei smiled and said: "I can't see what it is, like a stone, like a taro, but the little three can fill the stomach." There must not be many such things in the world, maybe they are the fruit of some kind of plant in the deep mountains and old forests, if there are more, the people will not have to worry about starvation. ”

Nature's creations are amazing.

Two thousand years later, there are still many unknown creatures that have not been studied clearly, let alone now.

"Even if you figure out what such a strange thing is, it is not something that is ordinary. A small three can fill your stomach, which is indeed a good thing, but it is too rare. Jia Xu sighed.

Subsequently, Liu Wei told the two of them about the construction of the grass house and what Jiao Xian said, so that they could analyze and analyze it.

He always felt that there must be some deep meaning behind what Jiao Xian said.

"Your Majesty, listen to this matter, why does he seem to be talking about the affairs of the court......" Xun You said in disbelief.

The two words Chaotang came out a little bit, and Liu Wei also felt that it was a little meaningful.

"That grass house is the court, and Jiao Xian's description of himself is talking about me?" The more Liu Wei thought about it, the more he felt that this was the possibility, in the crooked grass house that could collapse at any time, a rotten person lived in the same room with snakes, insects, rats and ants.

Jia Xu had a different opinion on this, he said: "Your Majesty, those descriptions should not be Your Majesty, but the emperor!" ”

"Isn't the emperor just me, oh, do you mean there is also an emperor? It's quite similar. Liu Wei said, "What does he mean by borrowing strength to owe favors and the like?" ”

Jiao Xian said this matter over and over again, and Liu Wei kept thinking about it.

This matter made Xun Yu a little confused.

Jia Xu also thought for a while and said, "Your Majesty, you didn't borrow your strength. ”

Liu Wei also felt that he didn't seem to have borrowed strength, but when he thought about it carefully, he suddenly had some eyebrows.

Maybe Jiao Xian said ...... Cao Cao.

Cao Cao in correct history was not an ordinary courtier.

And now, almost all the generals around him are the Cao brothers.

Owed favors......

Liu Wei thought about it all here, and suddenly felt a little irritable.

Does he owe Cao Cao a favor?

If it is really a favor owed to Cao Cao, or it is a truncation of Cao's luck, this is a more accurate statement.

So how should he repay this favor?

Bullshit!

After the Han Dynasty, there could be no kings, and there would never be local princes and three dukes.

"Your Majesty, I think the borrowing power in Jiao Xian's mouth should be borrowed from the power of the people." Xun You said coldly, "There are snakes, insects, rats and ants in the grassland, and there are ferocious beasts in the mountains outside the grassland. ”

Liu Wei, who was spinning around Cao Cao, suddenly saw a sudden in front of him when he heard this explanation.

This statement seems to make more sense.

This may be the correct answer, not a truncation of Cao Wei's luck.

"Perhaps, what did he mean by saying this to me? Now that I think about it, it's inexplicable, as if nothing was said. Liu Wei asked.

Jia Xu smiled slightly and said, "Your Majesty, the minister just noticed something. ”

"The grass house is made of wet wood, which was completed in a hurry, and there was a lot of rework in the later stage. There are a lot of tinkering things that need to be done, and the imperial court is now tinkering while conquering. ”

"Moreover, according to the meaning of Jiao Xian's words, there may be more things to repair."

"Besides, can Your Majesty find out? Jiao Xian had been silent since he felt that the world was dying, but now he spoke. ”

Xun You also sighed lightly and said, "Yes, he spoke." ”

"Although the world's major events cannot be based on these people, it is also pleasant news to hear."

Liu Wei also smiled: "It sounds like this should be good news." ”

Naturally, he knew that the actions and words of these people could not be used as a basis for judging the fortune of a country.

But everybody loves good news.

Jiao Xian's various statements, in the current view, are at least good.

"Spread the decree and use the bus to recruit Zheng Xuan as a sacrificial wine for Taixue." Prompted by many factors, Liu Wei finally made up his mind.

These words made Xun You and Jia Xu both happy.

In such a severe situation of external trouble, the imperial court now really needs several famous people at home to resist external humiliation.

The feeling of knowing that the imperial court is gradually rejuvenating and that the emperor is not a tyrant, but people outside are prompted by rumors, but they always think that the imperial court is becoming more and more corrupt and dark, is very uncomfortable for the courtiers.

For this reason, Xun You even secretly wrote a letter to Xun Shuang, who was the minister of the plain state, asking him to write a letter to persuade Zheng Xuan, Cai Yong and other famous Confucians to give lectures in Kyoto.

The letter had just been sent out in just a few days.

"Your Majesty Shengming!" Xun Yu knelt on the ground and bowed deeply.

Liu Wei looked at Xun You a little depressed, this kid seemed to be in a hurry because of this matter.

"Let's talk about the war between Jibei County and Taishan County, but what is the latest news?" Liu Wei drank his saliva and moistened his throat.

Xun You took out the watch from his sleeve and said: "The minister was about to talk to His Majesty about this matter, Duan Xuan said that Jibei County had no resistance, and as soon as his army arrived, all counties went out of the city to greet him, and there was no sign of chaos. ”

Liu Wei frowned slightly, "Where is Bao Xin, the prime minister of Jibei?" ”

"The strange thing is that no one in the entire Jibei County knows where Bao Xin went, only that Bao Xin led the county soldiers out of the county, but no one knows where he went." Xun You said, "Chen thinks this matter is a little strange. ”

"Liu Luan is with the army, and I don't know what happened?" Liu Wei asked.

Xun You replied: "Liu Shizhong also expressed doubts about this matter in his performance, but he has nowhere to guess where Bao Xin led his troops. It's just that Bao Xin is upright and very easy to be bewitched by others, he is not a bad person, but because of his uncertain position, he cannot be regarded as a good person. ”

Liu Wei was all listened to by this recital, "A large army left the county, and no one knew where it went, this thing does sound a bit bizarre." What are your two guesses? ”

"The minister guessed that he was very likely to lead troops to help Yuan Shao." Xun You said, "When the imperial army was pressing, Yuan Shao went to attack Jizhou instead, which is a bit abnormal in itself. However, Yuan Shao's own troops are not large, even if he joins forces with Gongsun Zan to besiege Jizhou, it is actually difficult to capture Jizhou. ”

Jia Xu sat upright on his knees, and then said: "Yuan Shao will attack Jizhou at this time, which is actually not abnormal. ”

"He is still looking at the current war with his understanding of the imperial court last year, and in his eyes, it may be that the court and the central government are only 350,000 soldiers and horses, and they have to disperse the east and west roads, and it is difficult to deal with him with a big deal."

But in the last battle, he used three lines of soldiers and horses to gallop to help his father, but they were all broken, which should have made him have some doubts about the imperial court and realize the lack of his own strength. And Jizhou is rich and full of soldiers, as long as he takes Jizhou, he will have enough money and food, as well as a large number of available soldiers. ”

Xun Yu bowed silently.

Jia Xu sat upright, glanced at the emperor, and continued: "Bao Xin led the county soldiers to nowhere to go, but the minister has two other speculations, one of which is to enter Qingzhou and discuss the alliance with the Yellow Turban Army. ”

"It can't be!" As soon as his words fell, Xun You immediately retorted, "The scholars look down on the thieves, even if they discuss, it will not be an alliance, but they want to accept the Yellow Turban Army for their own use." But the Qingzhou Yellow Turban Army has tens of thousands of people at every turn, how can they bow down and submit to Bao Xin or Yuan Shao. ”

Jia Xu smiled slightly, "Xun servant, there is no absolute certainty in the world. When the imperial army was pressing, the purpose of the Qingzhou Yellow Turban Army and Yuan Shao and others was actually the same. At this time, it is like the soldiers of the Qin State sending a letter to Guguan, if the Zhao and Wei states do not unite, they will only be defeated by each of them. ”

"And His Majesty used the two battles of Chen Liu and Shan Father to prove the strength of the imperial court to the eastern princes very brilliantly. If it were me, these two battles would be my reason to convince the Yellow Turbans. ”

Liu Wei thought while listening, and said, "Tell me about your second guess!" ”

"Surprise Attack Single Father!" Jia Xu said in a shocking voice, "Everything in the court is tied to Your Majesty, although the three princes are all old and respectful ministers, but Your Majesty has not established an heir, and the princes of the world are competing for power." If you can overcome your single father with a strange army, not only will the danger of Kwantung not be self-defeating, but you will also be able to collect the strong army of the imperial court for your own use. ”

"But I shook a shot, and in the eyes of outsiders, I should be in Jibei or Taishan County now." Liu Wei said.

Xun You shook his head and chuckled, and persuaded: "Your Majesty, this matter can only be deceived for a while, and it cannot last. ”

"Bao Xin only needs to send a small number of spies to know very clearly where His Majesty is!"
