Volume 2 The Rise of Jingzhou Chapter 281 - Liu Xie sent troops again
Liu Xie kept talking about the advantages of the Central Plains of Hebei, and every time he said something, his face became gloomy.
And Jia Xu on the side is still arching fire.
"It's not just this grain and heavy armor and blades, as long as Cao Mengde relieves this breath, as long as the heavens don't continue to rain down natural disasters continuously.
With just the land in his hands, he could even forcibly raise an army of millions!
Of course, if this is the case, then he Cao Mengde is just a short-sighted person, and he must not be able to last long.
But Your Majesty wants to see this. ”
As he spoke, Jia Xu once again sent a copy of Liang to Liu Xie's face, which was the note that Cao Mengde had just asked someone to send over, and it was a note to ask for merit for himself.
Liu Xie didn't feel anything bad about this, after all, he also knew very well that as long as he Cao Mengde did not betray the Han Dynasty, then he would have merit in sending troops to Hebei this time.
After all... Liu Xie also sent troops to Hebei.
If you don't admit that Cao Mengde has merit, do you want to admit that you have raised unrighteous soldiers?
It's just that this time, Cao Mengde's request for merit made Liu Xie's face a little heavy.
"He wants to ask for the position of the general of the Han Dynasty, and he also wants the right to open the government?
If I don't give it to him..."
"Your Majesty gives it to him, or doesn't give it to him, what's the difference?"
Jia Xu's words once again made Liu Xie's face gloomy and embarrassed, and even a little helpless.
That's true, even if Liu Xie wants to enter the tooth barrier, he won't give it to him, does he Cao Mengde really need this will made by Liu Xie personally?
Today's Cao Mengde is no longer the time when Yuan Benchu was forced to almost have no way out, and he must have Liu Xie's righteousness as a name.
Cao Mengde at this time.... Where does he need any righteousness?
Give him this righteousness, then he is an official of the Han Dynasty, if he doesn't give him this righteousness, Liu Xie is still not the emperor of the Han Dynasty.
After all...
"I heard that Cao Mengde is looking for Liu He's traces?"
"I have found it, Xian Yufu of Youzhou has decided to surrender to Cao Mengde, and the reclusive Liu He was naturally invited out.
Your Majesty must be ready. ”
After "....." heard the news, Liu Xie's face became even more embarrassed.
This so-called Liu He is the only son of Liu Yu, the great Sima of the Han Dynasty, and he can be regarded as one of the candidates for the heir of the Great Han.
When Liu Xie was still in Dong Zhuo's hands, Yuan Benchu did not take advantage of the battlefield, and the army asked Xu Rong to take Li Dao and Guo Yan to blow the hammer.
Yuan Shao, who was angry, thought about simply abolishing Liu Xie, and then a group of them enshrined Liu Yu as the new emperor.
Outcome...
"Get out!"
Liu Yu used such a sentence to completely dispel Yuan Shao's thoughts, but this incident also shows that Liu Yu's lineage is actually not legally impossible to be regarded as an emperor.
And Liu He, who is the eldest son of Liu Yuyan, naturally has the same reason.
With Liu He in his hands, if Liu Xie has to turn his face with Cao Mengde, then a new emperor may be ushered in in the palace in Luoyang at the next moment.
"Your Majesty, in fact, the most important thing is not whether we want to give credit to that Cao Mengde, nor whether we want to turn against him.
This is already a foregone conclusion, and what I care about is that he wants the right to open the mansion! ”
Jia Xu looked at Liu Xie, who was becoming more and more silent, and directly took out another letter, which was the news he asked Sun Zi to inquire about during this time.
"Cao Mengde will never do anything useless, since he hopes to get the right to open the government so much, then he must have a plan.
Therefore, the old man specially asked Sun Zi to check it, and sure enough.... He, Cao Mengde, has already begun to prepare..."
When Jia Xu said these words, he also sent the letter in his hand to Liu Xie.
And Liu Xie just opened the letter, and just glanced at it, and was suddenly shocked in his heart.
"Overlord!"
There is nothing else in this letter, it is Cao Mengde's preparations for the overlord, and it is also one of the greatest contributions of Xun Wenruo, Dong Zhao and others to Cao Mengde.
In fact, Liu Xie is certainly not unfamiliar with this name.
Purely from the court, the historical overlord also appeared at this time, and his appearance means that all the rights of Liu Xie in history were handed over to Cao Mengde's overlord.
And the overlord also officially replaced the role of the court, making Liu Xie completely a waste who had no way to turn over and could only sit and wait to be thrown down by Cao Mengde.
And from a deeper perspective, this tyranny is not just a right.
Cao Mengde's hegemony not only wanted to merge the Central Plains and the future Hebei into his hands and become a real country within a state, but also carried out drastic reforms in military and political affairs.
In addition to people's livelihood and governance, he directly divided his soldiers and horses into three classes.
In addition to the same Tuntian soldiers and horses and the soldiers and horses defending the city as in His Majesty's hands, he directly recruited a group of veterans who followed him all the year round to become the real soldiers and horses in his hands.
Similar to the Qi State Martial Warrior during the Warring States Period!
Give them money, food, and salaries, only need them to train and fight, and they don't need to farm, and they are wholeheartedly for the war.
In this way, although there will be a lot of pressure on this grain and straw, this combat power is simply not the same as that of other soldiers and horses.
The number of soldiers and horses in this army is probably around 100,000, but if these 100,000 people are under the blessing of Cao Mengde and the Central Plains plus Hebei.
He is enough to sweep the world and make the world surrender to him! ”
Jia Xu's words made Liu Xie's face heavy, and also made Liu Xie nod slowly, understanding that this was not nonsense.
In fact, he understands this very well.
Today's soldiers and horses in the world are not stationed in places all the year round, and then go around to fight, the soldiers and horses in this world, including when the Han Dynasty was still alive, this soldiers and horses are all fighting and ploughing.
The soldiers' consumption of grain was too great, and even the big Han of the year could not bear the consumption for so many years, so when the war appeared, the soldiers would be recruited and the grain and grass would be collected.
If the war is gone, then they will continue to cultivate and become farmers again.
Even the soldiers stationed in the local area are the same, and the same is true for those stationed on the frontier, and there has been a saying of military tun since the time of Emperor Xiaowu.
This is to relieve the pressure on the grain and grass of the imperial court and various forces.
But Cao Mengde directly changed this situation with the hegemony, and the 100,000 regular army only needed to be trained and killed.
That is to say, from this moment on, he will have to bear the expenses of 100,000 troops every moment, and then they will go to battle...
This situation... It's true that not ordinary people can afford to play, and it's not something that ordinary people can handle.
