Chapter 173: Windfall from the Sky

Shang Shutai, the prime minister is on duty.

Yang Biao sat in the first place, and on both sides were Wang Yun, Xun You, Huangfu Song, and Cao Cao.

Yang Biao sat upright, his face was majestic, and said, "Your Majesty agrees to ask Dong Zhuo, tell me what to do." ”

Asking Dong Zhuo is not a trivial matter, not only to consider public opinion, but also to take into account the tens of thousands of elite soldiers in his hands.

When Cao Cao heard this, he said in a deep voice: "The lower officials oppose it." ”

Wang Yun looked at him and said lightly: "Cao Mengde, you are just present, you don't need to speak." ”

Cao Cao snorted coldly and said, "Even if Dong Zhuo is guilty and deserves to die, it is not this time. The imperial court should be generous and appeased, and choose the opportunity to move! Whoever gives His Majesty such an admonition, he should be beheaded immediately! ”

Wang Yun's expression was gloomy, and he said: "Cao Mengde, this is Shangshutai, don't be presumptuous!" ”

"I don't agree with that either,"

Huangfu Song interjected at the right time and said: "Prince, prime minister, Dong Zhuo, as a lieutenant and a Zuocheng, leads the Yuzhou pastor, holds tens of thousands of elites, and has meritorious service in quelling the rebellion, no matter which one he is, he can't be touched for the time being." ”

Wang Yun's hand waved on the small table in front of him, and his tone was cold, and he said: "These are the impeachment of Dong Zhuo, there are more than 20 copies of the county guard, more than 100 copies of the famous family, and the common people of the bitter master, there are hundreds of queues in front of the Tingwei Mansion, is Da Sima turning a blind eye and hearing and not listening?" ”

Cao Cao's narrow eyes flashed with contempt, and he said, "If the news leaks and Dong Zhuo openly conspires against him, how will the imperial court respond?" Who is responsible? ”

Wang Yun couldn't wait to drive Cao Cao out, looked directly at Huangfu Song, and said, "Therefore, Shang Shutai and Da Sima Mansion carefully planned to take down Dong Zhuo in one fell swoop and completely solve this scourge!" ”

"What is the Maharaja's plan?" Cao Cao said again.

The corners of Wang Yun's eyes twitched, and he held back his anger, and said: "My idea is to pretend to transport money and food to Dong Zhuo, and order him to come and fetch it in person, ambush the soldiers on the side, and take the opportunity to take him down!" ”

"Can this kind of strategy deal with Dong Zhuo?" Cao Cao sat there, his long narrow eyes narrowed, and he raised his head slightly, even if he had no expression, it gave people a sense of contempt.

Wang Yun turned to Cao Cao violently, and said in a dull tone: "Do you think that there are too few transcripts to impeach you?" Or do you think that Shang Shutai is forgetful? ”

Cao Cao's eyes widened, and anger surged up in his heart.

This Wang Yun, stupid and arrogant, arrogant and narrow-minded, actually threatened him in public!

Xun You, who had been silent, saw that Wang Yun and Cao Cao were going to quarrel, so he hurriedly said: "Prince, General Cao, the matter is very important, don't be rash." ”

Wang Yun snorted, thinking about how to clean up Cao Cao, and Xun Yu at the same time, said, "What is Xun Shangshu's opinion?" ”

Xun You also had no plan, and said: "You can make a temptation first and order Dong Zhuo to enter Beijing to receive the reward." Regardless of whether he agreed or not, he could order Gongsun Zan to enter Runan, Chen, and Liang from Yingchuan as soon as possible, and at least half of Yuzhou would be occupied to fight against Dong Zhuo. Then order Tao Qian in Xuzhou and Wang Rui in Jingzhou to divide Yuzhou as much as possible and reduce Dong Zhuo's sphere of influence......"

Cao Cao didn't care about Wang Yun, his face was contemplative, and he said: "Yuan Shu's retreat to Yangzhou is always a big trouble, and it must be eradicated as soon as possible." ”

His meaning is very simple, Dong Zhuo and Yuan Shu are not good at stubble, but they have to have a sequence.

Xun You glanced at Cao Cao, and then turned to Huangfu Song.

Huangfu Song understood what he meant, pondered for a moment, and said, "The Great Sima Mansion has no plan for the time being. ”

Xun Yu was stunned, what is the meaning of no plan for the time being?

Yang Biao grimaced, and answered: "The treasury is in trouble, Xu, Qing, and Hebei are in turmoil, except for Dong Zhuo, the imperial court is unable to further discuss Yuan Shu. ”

"Do you have to put it off until after the summer harvest?" The anger in Wang Yun's heart swayed upward. He could see that Yang Biao and Huangfu Song had a tacit understanding!

Such a big thing was actually discussed without him!

Yang Biao looked down at him and said lightly: "What is the prince's response to?" ”

Wang Yun's face was pale, and he couldn't say a word when he opened his mouth. I was very angry with Yang Biao and Huangfu Song in my heart!

Rebellious and unsubordinate, is it so perfunctory?

Cao Cao glanced at Yang Biao, a little dissatisfied in his eyes.

It's too easy for this prime minister to do!

"Come in." Huangfu Song spoke suddenly.

Without waiting for everyone's reaction, Xu Yan outside the door walked in, handed over two playbooks, and said, "Da Sima, Yuzhou, Jingzhou emergency playbook." ”

Huangfu Song took it silently and opened the first one, which was Dong Zhuo's request for merit and urging money and food.

After he finished reading it, he took out the second one, just looked at it, and couldn't help frowning slightly.

Everyone was staring at him, even with such a small movement, he still couldn't escape Wang Yun's eyes, he stretched out his head and said, "Da Sima, what's wrong?" ”

Huangfu Song thought for a while, did not hide it, and said: "The first recital is Dong Zhuo's invitation to merit and urging military salaries. ”

At this point, everyone didn't care at all.

Huangfu Song hesitated for a moment and said: "The second is Jingzhou's transcript, saying that Wen Yi, the perpetrator of the case, issued a document accusing Wang Rui, the assassin of Jingzhou, of being corrupt and lawless, oppressing the officials and the people, and calling on all counties to send troops to fight. And Wang Rui accused Wuling of being too guarded by Cao Yin and rebellious, and convened all the county guards in Jingzhou to discuss together. ”

The others were stunned and looked at each other.

This Jingzhou, it's messed up again?

Wang Yun's expression was gloomy, and he said, "Jingzhou can't be messed up!" ”

Everyone, you look at me, I look at you, no one made a sound, and acquiesced to Wang Yun's words.

Liu Yu in Youzhou was dragged by Wuhuan and Xianbei, Ying Shao in Jizhou was suppressing bandits, Zhu Jun in Qingzhou was mired in the quagmire of the Yellow Turban Army, Xuzhou was in turmoil, Yuan Shu in Yuzhou had just been defeated, and now Jingzhou was in civil strife.

All the pressure was given to the court in an instant!

Yang Biao's fat face was tense, unprecedentedly serious, and said: "The current priority is to make every effort to ensure that the summer tax is collected as much as possible!" ”

If you want to deal with these changes, the most important thing is the word 'money and food'!

Without waiting for the others to react, Yang Biao looked at Huangfu Song and said, "The Great Sima Mansion must come up with a specific strategy, and I will meet Your Majesty with the Prime Minister later!" ”

Huangfu Song leaned over and said, "Okay." ”

Wang Yun still remembered Dong Zhuo in his heart, unwilling and angry in his heart, thought about it back and forth, and said in a deep voice: "After the summer harvest, please ask Da Sima to personally lead the troops, join the soldiers and horses of the five states, and pacify Dong Zhuo and Yuan Shu as soon as possible!" ”

Huangfu Song looked at him, but did not speak.

It's not a few years ago, the imperial court spent millions of dollars in order to deal with the invasion of the Qiang people, and then there was the Yellow Turban Rebellion, which was constantly requisitioned, not only emptying the treasury, but also squeezing out the ordinary people.

The current situation is that the court and the people are weak at both ends, and only the big families are not thin and fat.

If you want to gather hundreds of thousands of troops from five states to fight like before, it is simply impossible!

What's more, all parts of the country are not peaceful, and the money and grain of the summer tax are completely a drop in the bucket.

Cao Cao looked at the crowd with narrow eyes, silent. He has been in the Da Sima Mansion for some days, and he can understand Huangfu Song's concerns, and he also falls into deep thought.

Xun You watched coldly and shook his head secretly.

'Let's wait for the waiter to discuss.' ’

Xun You could see that here, nothing could be discussed at all.

……

Shangshutai was disturbed one after another, and Liu Wei was in the arsenal, inspecting the latest weapons and equipment.

After turning around, Liu Wei came to the courtyard, and rode the big white horse under him with some caution, seeing that it was docile, he walked for a long time before he said to Zhao Yun with confidence: "This horse is good, it is from Xiliang?" ”

Zhao Yun followed closely beside Liu Wei, raised his head and said, "Yes." It was sent back by Zhong Tingwei, a total of one hundred and twenty horses. ”

Liu Wei touched the horse's hair, and saw that this horse was obviously much stronger than other horses, and said with a smile: "Well, the Zhong Qing family really lives up to my expectations, with these horse breeds, the horse farm of the forbidden army camp is finally useful." ”

Zhao Yun is a horse lover, and he followed Liu Wei's side, and several times he wanted to reach out and touch it and then shrank back.

"Your Majesty."

Pan Yin trotted in, looking flustered and excited, holding a notebook in his hand, and hurriedly shouted: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty......"

Liu Wei was worried that the horse would be irritable at any time, so he was cautious, glanced at him with his spare eyes, and said, "Shang Shutai is fighting?" ”

Pan Yin saw that there were many people around, so he forced his excitement and said, "The recital of the Imperial City Mansion." ”

Liu Wei took it violently and opened it to look.

This recital is very thick, like two books spliced together, Liu Wei is calm, carefully from the beginning to the end, his expression from the beginning of a trace of nervousness, then doubt, then curiosity, and finally the breath is rapid, exhilarating.

He flipped his right leg, jumped off his horse, patted the notebook, and laughed, "Good! Good! Good! ”

He couldn't say anything but good.

In this recital, Huangfu Jian recorded in detail the process and results of the battle between Dong and Yuan, and reported the basic situation of Yu and Xu.

It also took a lot of pen and ink to describe how he robbed Dong Zhuo of money and food!

Pan Yin knew, but he was still excited and kept laughing.

Zhao Yun and Dian Wei looked at the playbook curiously, they rarely saw Liu Wei lose his temper.

Liu Wei patted the notebook, his eyes burned, countless thoughts flashed in his heart, and for a while, he met the eyes of a group of people and laughed: "Good thing! ”

As he spoke, he walked out quickly and said, "Go back to the palace!" ”

In this notebook of Huangfu Jianchang, the total amount of money and grain he robbed was recorded: 480,000 stone of grain, and the money, of which the cash was 200,000 yuan, and the other treasures were counted separately, and the total amount was doubled.

200,000 yuan, which is 2 million yuan, is equivalent to 2 million taels of silver, you know, at this time, the tax of the imperial court does not exceed 70,000 yuan a year!

It's a windfall, a windfall!

Liu Wei walked quickly, thinking about how to use it, just got into the carriage, and before he could sit down, he said: "Huangfu Jianchang has done a very good job, give him a reward, a heavy reward!" When he returns, I will see him as soon as possible. Who is in the forbidden army camp? By the way, Huang Zhong ordered him to lead an army of 5,000 to Yanzhou to escort Huangfu Jianchang back to Beijing, no, the money and grain were temporarily left in the forbidden army camp, and no one knew for the time being. Also, those who are in Beijing have to go to ......."

Pan Yin hurriedly wrote them down one by one, turned over and got on the horse, followed the carriage towards the royal road, approached the window, and said in a low voice: "Your Majesty, Wuling is too guarded by Cao Yin." ”

Liu Wei opened the curtain and asked suspiciously: "Who are you talking about?" ”

Pan Yin handed over a notebook and said, "Jingzhou Wuling guards Cao Yin." ”

Liu Wei's eyes narrowed slightly, and he reached out to take the notebook, vaguely remembering in his heart that there was such a thing.

After reading the transcript, Liu Wei nodded slightly, and it was basically confirmed.

Cao Yin was at odds with Wang Rui and was afraid that Wang Rui would kill him, so he sent a document under the pretense that he was trying to strike first.

In history, he did the same, and Sun Jian seized the opportunity and directly led his troops to force Wang Rui to death, and then Liu Biao replaced Wang Rui as the assassin of Jingzhou.
