Chapter 157: Suppressing the Rebellion The army of 100,000

Three days later, the forbidden army camped.

Liu Wei, Huangfu Song, Xun You, Zhong Xuan and others stood on the lookout, all watching the school martial arts field.

A middle-aged man in his forties, with a large bow in his hand, was experimenting with a new weapon.

shout

The arrow off the string, in the blink of an eye, hits the bull's-eye.

"Captain Huang is mighty!" The soldiers applauded.

Huang Zhong is forty-five years old this year, but he has thick hair, fair skin, and bright eyes, and he didn't care about the shouts of the soldiers, so he picked up the bow and crossbow behind him, loaded three arrows, pulled them apart, and stared at the arrow target not far away.

boom

Three arrows hit the target, trembling violently and emitting a constant buzzing sound.

"Good crossbow!"

Huang Zhong looked at the bow and crossbow in his hand, his face showed surprise and joy, and he couldn't put it down.

In the stands, Xun You glanced at Liu Wei and said, "Your Majesty, is this really found from Qin Jian?" ”

Liu Wei hummed casually and said, "If the Qing family is interested in this aspect, I will have someone send it to the Qing family." ”

"The minister is not interested, just curious." Xun You hurriedly said.

'If you're interested, I can't find it. ’

Liu Wei smiled, and saw the school martial arts field, a cavalry of more than a dozen people galloped past, stepping on stirrups, very steady.

Zhong Xuan quietly observed Liu Wei, and pretended to groan: "Your Majesty, the Yuan Shu rebels have already invaded Langya County. ”

Huangfu Song, Zhong Xuan immediately looked at Liu Wei, his expression was not moving, and he secretly concentrated - the time for three days has arrived.

Liu Wei looked at Huang Zhong, snorted, and said, "What do you think of this Huang Zhong?" ”

Zhong Xuan had to say more, as soon as Liu Wei raised his hand, on the school martial arts field, Dian Wei was neatly dressed, holding a spear, and slowly walked out of the side door on a horse.

"Fight with me!" Dian Wei stepped forward and pointed his spear directly at Huang Zhong.

When everyone heard this, they had to shut down and look at the school martial arts field.

Huang Zhong was testing a new weapon, looked up, recognized Dian Wei, and without hesitation, picked up his knife and got on the horse.

The two had no extra nonsense and fought directly together.

Not only the people on the lookout watchtower, but also the soldiers around put down what they were doing and watched.

In just two rounds, Dian Wei and Huang Zhong realized that they had encountered a strong opponent, their expressions were serious, they clenched their weapons, and once again raised their horses to hedge.

"Drink!"

"Hah!"

Long hair and big knife fight, the two of them dismounted, and retreated.

"What strength!" Xun You looked at it and couldn't help but exclaim.

The others were also shocked, and they were more or less aware of Dian Wei's strength, it was really amazing that this Huang Zhong, who was in his forties, could fight hard with him without falling behind.

Seeing Xun You's rare gaffe, Liu Wei said with a smile: "This Huang Zhong, originally Wang Rui's person, later went to Chengdu, and then merged with Zhou, and was transferred back to Beijing by me not long ago. What does the Huangfu family think? ”

Huangfu Song looked at the two of them who were fighting hard and said, "Your Majesty, Huang Zhong is indeed a brave general. ”

Liu Wei smiled more and said, "I plan to order him to replace Xu Rong and garrison Yuyuan Pass." ”

When Huangfu Song heard this, he immediately said: "Your Majesty, the situation is urgent, and the minister thinks that he should order Xu Rong, Cao Cao, Gongsun Zhan, Zhao Yun, and Dong Zhuo to join forces to attack Liang and Pei to the east, and order Jingzhou to assassinate Wang Rui to attack Runan and encircle Yuan Shu!" ”

Liu Wei shook his head and said, "Order Huang Zhong to garrison Yuyuan Pass, Xu Rong to be stationed in Yanzhou, and Zhao Yun and Cao Cao to return to the forbidden army camp." Lu Bu, the original chief of Jiading, was the captain of Pingyu and entered Xuzhou. Ordered Dong Zhuo and Gongsun Zan to join forces to fight against Runan, and ordered Wang Rui to attack Yangzhou. ”

Huangfu Song, Xun You, and Zhong Xuan were stunned when they heard it, what kind of arrangement is this?

Huangfu Song raised his hand decisively and said: "Your Majesty, this move is too scattered, I am afraid that it will be broken by the rebels one by one, at this time, we should concentrate our forces and destroy the main force of the rebels!" ”

Zhong Xuan followed: "Your Majesty, although the minister does not know about military affairs, but the great Sima has been in Rong for many years and has made great achievements, and the minister seconded it. ”

Liu Wei raised his eyebrows, Yu Guang glanced at him, and said secretly: Are you saying that I am a layman commanding an insider?

Liu Wei's face was as usual, and he said: "The so-called main force of Yuan Shu is just some young people who have been dragged by force, and they are not as good as the Yellow Turban bandits, so don't think too highly of you." In this way, he gave Dong Zhuo an order and ordered him not to recover the Liang State within half a month, and to engage in military law! ”

The words 'military law engagement' often represent capital punishment, and for Dong Zhuo, it is actually a capital crime.

Huangfu Song, Xun You, and Zhong Xuan listened to Liu Wei's arrangement, which seemed reasonable, but in fact they were very capricious.

Just as he was about to continue his admonition, there was a loud shout from below.

On the school martial arts field, Huang Zhong and Dian Wei were fighting fiercely, the so-called chess opponent, the two did not stop at the point, and they worked harder and harder.

Seeing this, Liu Wei hurriedly shouted and stopped: "It's okay, the two secretaries should stop." ”

Dian Wei and Huang Zhong heard Liu Wei shouting, and they reined in their horses with some unfinished intentions.

Dian Wei looked honest, raised his hand with a smile and said, "Chen Liudian Wei." ”

Huang Zhong looked at Dian Wei deeply, clasped his hands and said, "Nanyang Huang Zhong." ”

Dian Wei grinned and pulled the horse off.

Huang Zhong followed alongside and whispered to him: "Captain Dian, how does Zhonglang compare Zhao Zilong with you?" ”

Dian Wei shook his head and said, "I haven't compared with him, he looks thin and weak." ”

Huang Zhongqing knew that the generals could not comment on their appearance, and today he was on a par with this Dian Wei, but he really wanted to compete with Zhao Yun, who killed Wen Chou.

On the lookout, Liu Wei turned around, looked at the three of them, and said in a deep voice: "Three Qing families, this rebellion is not necessarily a bad thing for my Han. Instead of letting those ill-intentioned people camp in the dark, and the court is always on guard, it is better to lure them all out at once and deal with them in one fell swoop. Only a thousand days to be a thief, how can there be a thousand days to prevent thieves. ”

The three of them were stunned, and secretly said in their hearts at the same time: It turns out that Your Majesty hit this idea?

However, Xun You's expression immediately sank, and said: "The minister understands His Majesty's hard work, but now is not the time to lure thieves, Yuan Shu has already sat big, occupying the land of Sanzhou, and is an unprecedented rebel, and he needs to be annihilated as soon as possible to calm people's hearts and secure Sheji!" ”

Liu Wei finally found such an excuse, where would he be moved, and said: "Then order Dong Zhuo to coordinate all the soldiers and horses in Xu, Jingzhou, and Henan, with a total of nearly 100,000 troops, and march in unison and coordinate to attack!" ”

The corners of Xun You's face moved, and he wanted to say that Huang Fu Song's tactics were the most appropriate, but seeing that Liu Wei finally let go, he had to look at Huang Fu Song.

Huangfu Song thought carefully for a while, and said: "Your Majesty, then Lu Buchen doesn't understand, whether to send Cao Cao or Xu Rong into Xuzhou?" ”

Liu Wei waved his hand, walked down, and said: "The Qing family still thinks too highly of Yuan Shu, 100,000 troops, do you think the Qing family is still less?" That's it. ”

Huangfu Song thought about it, and didn't say anything more.

Gathering the troops of the three states, 100,000 troops, it is indeed a lot.

Xun Yu and Zhong Xuan glanced at each other, feeling somewhat relieved. The 100,000-strong army will curb the arrogance of the rebels, even if it does not succeed quickly.

When the summer grain comes up and the court has money and grain, it is not too late to decide on the situation.

Pan Yin came up from below, came to Liu Wei's side, followed, handed over a notebook, and said in a low voice: "Your Majesty, the prince has returned to Beijing." ”

Liu Wei opened it with his hand, and saw that Wang Yun criticized the reform of the state from beginning to end, accusing the 'official system': disturbing the local area and private clusters. 'Measuring acres of land' is to compete with the people for benefits, and the disadvantages outweigh the advantages. The 'census households' are the source of civil unrest and chaos.

In an ensemble, Liu Wei looked indifferent and said, "The prime minister is still in Sanfu? ”

Pan Yin bowed and said, "Yes." The last time the prime minister sent a letter, he said that it was the land of Sanfu, where nearly one million people had fled, and the burden of disaster relief was unprecedented. ”

Liu Wei glanced at Wang Yun's playbook in his hand again, and said, "This playbook is in the middle, and I will invite Wang Yun to the palace to accompany me to dinner tomorrow." Sent a decree to Liu Biao, ordering him to go to the state again, remember, the imperial court is unswerving and united in the 'new policy', and no one can change it! ”

"Yes." Pan Yin hurriedly responded.

Xun You and Zhong Xuan followed behind Liu Wei, their faces were thoughtful, and they did not speak.

As for the 'New Deal', the resistance of the government and the opposition has always been great, and the local reform has also been full of resistance.

The imperial court sent to the state of the Taishou and county orders were resisted to varying degrees. As for the 'measurement of acres' and 'census of households', the stumbling blocks in the light and darkness are even more serious.

Lu Zhi's implementation of the 'New Deal' in Bingzhou can be said to be difficult, and the imperial court can receive various impeachment recitals every day.

After walking a few steps, Liu Wei looked at Xun You again and said, "Si Li's 'new policy' must be stepped up, and all the resistance will be swept away with all my might, and it must not be delayed!" In addition, Yanzhou's various vacancies must be cautious, and we must be able to do things and have the courage to do things! For the 'New Deal', I will order Xu Rong to fully assist, anyone who dares to obstruct, resist, or even plot rebellion, resolutely suppress it, and there will be no forgiveness! ”

"Command!" Xun Yu replied with a deep color. He felt more and more that His Majesty in front of him valued the 'New Deal' far more than Yuan Shu's rebellion.

Zhong Xuan could also clearly perceive it, and said secretly in his heart: Your Majesty, is it too contemptuous of Yuan Shu's rebellion?

Liu Bianxin calculated again and again, and said: "Ding Yuan will take a look again, if he is not competent, transfer him back to Beijing." ”

Xun You's expression tightened, and he said, "The minister understands." ”

Transferring the pastor of a state back to Beijing is actually a kind of 'severe punishment', indicating that Ding Yuan's career has come to an end.

Liu Wei snorted, didn't say anything more, got off the lookout, and came to the training ground.

This training ground can accommodate thousands of people, and there are I don't know how many phalanxes are divided.

Some are running, some are archery, some are training, some are horseback riding......

Seeing this, Liu Wei nodded slightly, and said to Huangfu Song: "At present, how many people are there in the forbidden army camp?" ”

Huangfu Song followed to the side and said, "Back to Your Majesty, there are still 50,000, if Zhao Yun and Xu Rong return to the division, it will be 80,000." ”

"Plus Cao Cao's 30,000, it's 110,000 ......"

Liu Wei said to himself, unconsciously, there are as many as 110,000 soldiers and horses in the forbidden army camp!

Xun Yu was behind Liu Wei, his expression remained unchanged, but the pressure in his heart was like a mountain.

110,000 soldiers and horses, the daily consumption is a terrible number, the imperial court has tried its best to raise money and food, and it still can't afford to provide it!

Liu Wei walked in a walk, and while watching, he glanced at Huangfu Song, Xun You and others behind him from time to time.

He intended to let Liu Xie go to Dong Zhuo's army to supervise the army, but this proposal, Huangfu Song, Xun You and others would not agree to it even if they were afraid of being killed.

At the same time, too often.

Cai Zheng commanded the recruited servants and packed stacks of Shihou paper into boxes.

"Be careful, be careful, don't crumple!"

"Waterproof, watch waterproof! If the road gets wet, I'll break your legs! ”

"These boxes are for Hanoi, you have the wrong sticker!"

"The carriage is ready! Move up, move up! ”

Cai Yong relied on his identity, not in front of him, but in the account room not far away, looking at the account book in his hand, on which the numbers were recorded one by one.

"Two years, 70 million, presumably Your Majesty will be satisfied......" Cai Yong said quite smugly.

Seventy million is 70,000 yuan, which is equivalent to 70,000 taels of silver, which is already a lot of money.

Cai Wenji came in with tea, and said softly when she heard the words: "It's 70,000, and he thinks it's less." ”

Cai Yong turned his head to look and saw that his daughter rarely wore no veil, and saw that she was less sorrowful than before, depressed, her eyes were like water, and her pretty face was ruddy, and she couldn't help but wonder: "Have you encountered anything recently?" Seems to be a lot happier? ”

Cai Wenji's heart jumped, and she said weakly: "My daughter just read some books." ”

Cai Yong didn't think much about it, continued to look at the account books, sighed, and said: "You are right, now the imperial court needs money everywhere, and the 70 million is also a drop in the bucket, Your Majesty will not be satisfied, and you have to find another way." ”

Seeing that her father had no doubts, Cai Wenji felt a little relieved, pursed her lips, and said softly: "Father, too student, can you collect money?" ”

Cai Yong suddenly frowned and said, "It's already been collected, besides, if you collect too much, it will cause criticism." Some people are poor, and if they collect money, they can't read, they waste their talents in vain, and they have no way to serve the country. ”

Cai Wenji thought about what Liu Wei had said to her, and said more softly: "If you don't have money, you can go to Hongdumen to study, if you are enrolled in Taixue, there is no shortage of money at home, and there should be no problem with charging a few thousand per person." ”

Cai Yong still shook his head and said, "You better repair your books well, don't get mixed with these things." By the way, you've been going to Puguang Temple a lot lately? Didn't you only go once or twice a month before? ”

Cai Yong's heart became more and more empty, his lips moved, and said, "You don't have to go in the future." ”

Cai Yong looked straight at Cai Zheng and those servants, didn't notice his daughter's crimson face, and said casually: "Well, it's better to go less." ”

How did he know that her daughter had already planned to discuss with Liu Wei and change places.

After calming down, Cai Wenji took out the veil and put it on her face, and then said, "Father, has Taiyuan's Hongdumen School been built?" ”

Cai Yong suddenly saw a middle-aged man come in with a group of servants, hurriedly went out, and subconsciously said: "It's almost right, you go back early, don't go out of the house if you have nothing to do, don't go to the palace, the queen mother is ready to choose for Your Majesty, you and Tang Niangniang move around less." ”

Cai Wenji blinked, and said in her heart: Why don't I know?

Cai Yong came not far from the box, recognized the person, and quietly hid behind the box.

He said to Cai Zheng: "I really can't buy it outside, so I ask Cai to be accommodating and sell us a thousand copies." ”

Cai Zheng looked at the boxes that had been packed, there was no superfluity at all, and said with a smile: "No, it's not that the villain doesn't sell, there is really no superfluity." ”

After Fu finished dissatisfied, he said: "My daughter has entered the palace, and today she asks for some Shihou paper to repair the marriage book, but it is too often to stop it?" ”

Where did Cai Zheng know about this, he was startled when he heard it, and said urgently: "Don't wait a minute, the villain will go to ask for instructions." ”

Fu Wan snorted and said, "Go quickly." ”

Cai Yong listened, and retreated silently.

Cai Wenji was still tidying up his father's desk in the room, and when he saw Cai Yong coming in like a thief, his eyes were puzzled: "Father, what's wrong?" ”

Cai Yong entered the room and stood up straight, shook his head and said: "Fu Shou, the daughter of the Marquis, has been elected to the palace, and it is said that she will be awarded the title of nobleman. ”

When Cai Wenji heard this, she pursed her lips, thinking about what Liu Wei said in bed a few days ago, and stopped talking.

I wish you all a safe and healthy Dragon Boat Festival!

I'm done, and I'll resume the update tomorrow~
