Deyang Palace, apse.

On Liu Wei's soft couch, three little guys lay down.

The eldest son, Liu Shao, was already able to turn over and sit quietly, while the other two little ones were lying on the side, competing for small toys, whimpering and whimpering from time to time.

Not far away, Liu Wei sat opposite Huangfu Song and Lu Zhi.

On the small table in front of Liu Wei, there was a pile of playbooks, but he didn't look at them, and said with a smile with the two of them: "The copper mine discovered in Hedong is already being mined by Hucao, and it is expected that there will be at least 10,000 yuan a year." The money bank has been laid in Bingzhou and Yanzhou, and it is expected to have more than 30,000 yuan per year. Although the salt tax has been suspended, Hu Cao has a plan, and 20,000 yuan per year is guaranteed. Shi Hou paper is at least 10,000 yuan a year, plus autumn grain and other taxes, a year to collect 100,000 yuan, which is still more than in previous years. ”

Huangfu Song and Lu Zhi glanced at each other, raised their hands and said, "Your Majesty has taken precautions, and the ministers admire you." ”

Liu Wei waved his hand and said: "More than half of the autumn grain has been desecrated, and Shang Shutai is carrying out all kinds of big actions with 'clarifying the rule of officials' as the core, there will definitely be chaos, but it is also a big deal." The two secretaries should despise strategically and attach importance to tactics, so there is no need to worry too much. ”

"Your Ministers understand." Huangfu Song, Lu Zhi said again. They could all hear that Liu Wei was appeasing them.

The actions of the imperial court are too big, the capital is boiling, all kinds of fears and rumors are rampant, not only those big people in Shangshutai, Liucao, and Jiuqing, even their thresholds are about to be broken.

Liu Wei nodded secretly and said: "I have disposed of Xun Yu, Xun Yu, and Cai Yong, recently someone said something about the Yingchuan Party, and said that I want to liquidate them, what do the two Qing family think?" ”

Huangfu Song's expression was cold, there was no different color, and he did not speak.

Lu Zhi waited for a while, and when he saw that Huangfu Song didn't speak, his face turned gloomy, and he said, "Your Majesty, the minister thinks that the guilty will be punished and the innocent will be crowned." Some people speculate on their own business, and their hearts can be punished. ”

Liu Wei smiled more, reached out and picked up a notebook in front of him, opened it and swept his eyes, and said: "Liu Biao has arrived in Jingzhou, and all the families and officials in Jingzhou are very supportive of him. From this point of view, the Jingzhou family and officials of all sizes still have their hearts set on the imperial court. ”

When Lu Zhi heard this, he immediately raised his hand and said: "Your Majesty, that Yuan Shu is too arrogant, starting a war on the third front, and seeing that there is no one in our court, please send Gongsun Zhan, the general of Fenwu, into the Lujiang River to assist Liu Zhijun." ”

Yuan Shu fought fiercely with Sun Jian in Jiujiang on the one hand, entered the Lujiang River on the other hand, and was still going deep into Jiangdong, which was really a three-sided attack.

Liu Wei thought about the battle situation in the south, his eyes were deep, and he said, "Yes." ”

Lu Zhi responded, and then said: "Your Majesty, Ding Yuan has arrived in Wu County, and Sun Jian is obedient, but Lu Bu is a little rebellious, and it seems that the father and son have a dislike. ”

Liu Wei raised his eyebrows, sneered, and said, "Let them make trouble." ”

Huangfu Song looked at Liu Wei with a condensed expression, and said: "Your Majesty, that Lu Bu is very brave, and he fought with the rebel general Zhang He, and was almost killed under the horse, so you can't indulge." ”

Liu Wei laughed and said, "Don't worry, I have a way to clean him up." Let's talk about Koto. ”

Lu Zhi saw that Liu Wei didn't take Lu Bu seriously, paused, and said: "There are many scholars in Jiangdong, Gong Shixie is the assassin of Jiaozhou, with a total of 80,000 troops, and Yuan Shu fought fiercely in Nanyang, and won or lost for half a month. Your Majesty, did you issue an edict appointing Shi Xie as the assassin of Jiaozhou? ”

Liu Wei looked at him and said lightly: "From Yuan Shu to the south, it has been more than half a year now, and I have only received a copy of Shixie's request for help, and the other counties are too guarded and have not moved. Not long ago, there were more than a dozen letters every day, all of which were for Shixie's merit. Isn't it strange, you say? ”

Huangfu Song and Lu Zhi both frowned, glanced at each other, and couldn't answer.

Now the state pastors, county guards, and generals in various parts of the Han Dynasty, who dares to guarantee who is loyal to the imperial court without the slightest self-reliance?

Liu Wei didn't expect them to answer, put down the notebook in his hand, picked up another one, he had seen it before, he just swept his eyes, and said: "Liu Bei suppressed bandits in Hanzhong, but it has some results, he asked the court for soldiers and food, what does Lu Qing's family think?" ”

Liu Bei is a student of Lu Zhi.

Lu Zhi thought for a moment and said, "Your Majesty, the terrain in Hanzhong is dangerous. Since Liu Yan sent troops into Jingzhou, Hanzhong also had to defend it, so he asked to send 5,000 troops to him. ”

Liu Wei frowned.

Liu Bei wants to say that he is incapable, but if he wants to say that he is capable, he can't stand everywhere and is being chased away.

is almost the same as Cao Cao before, I am afraid that he has the ability to do bad things all the way.

After thinking about it again and again, Liu Wei still said, "Okay, I will give him another chance." 5,000 were allocated from each of the states and the forbidden army camp, and 10,000 men were gathered to him. The Qing family wrote to him in their personal name, taking guarding Hanzhong as the first priority, if Hanzhong is lost, take his head! ”

Lu Zhi's expression was solemn, and he raised his hand and said, "The minister's decree." ”

Liu Wei put down this, picked up another one, looked at it and put it aside, opened another one, and then raised his head and said, "What do the two Qing families say about the matter of Jizhou?" ”

Since the summer harvest, the Montenegrin army has launched an unprecedented fierce attack on Jizhou, in addition to collusion with Yuan Shu, because of the fear of the destruction of the Qingzhou Yellow Turban Army and the covetousness of Jizhou Yanzheng.

Coupled with Zhao Yun's stealing behavior, it angered the Montenegrin army, and now the Montenegrin army is known as 800,000, plundering in Jizhou, in addition to Julu, only a few places such as Bohai County are still holding on.

At this time, Julu was besieged by 300,000 Black Mountain troops, and Ying Shao took Zhang Liao, Zhao Yun, Xiahoudun and other 60,000 troops to hold on, and the situation was quite critical.

But Huangfu Song and Lu Zhi were not panicked, Huangfu Song said: "Your Majesty, Wu Huan, Xianbei has retreated, and Liu Yu of Youzhou has reorganized his troops and will go south to Jizhou at any time." Huang Zhong led 10,000 troops and could enter Zhongshan at any time. Only Qingzhou's side still can't spare a hand. ”

Qingzhou, Qingzhou Mu Zhu Jun and Wuwei General Cao Cao, Qingzhou's Yellow Turban Army was killed by Cao Cao, surrendered, and many are still insisting on rebellion.

Zhu Jun and Cao Cao want to maintain high pressure on the one hand, and appease the people's livelihood on the other, so it can be said that they can't spare their hands at all and are deeply trapped in it.

Liu Wei nodded thoughtfully and said, "It's almost October." The Montenegrin army will either go completely crazy or retreat, how does the Great Sima Mansion judge? ”

Lu Zhi glanced at Huangfu Song and said, "Your Majesty, the Great Sima Mansion thinks that there is no need to send troops to support for the time being. ”

Liu Wei was stunned for a moment, and looked at the two of them.

In the past, he deliberately dragged it, but now, Da Sima Mansion is calm?

Lu Zhi looked at Liu Wei's gaze, raised his hand, and explained: "Your Majesty, ten times the siege, five times the attack, and the double will fight." There are 60,000 elite soldiers in Julu City, plus the influx of young people, more than 100,000. The Montenegrin army is claimed to be 800,000, and it can be used for less than 100,000, and the siege will not be reduced for several months, and the minister thinks that the imperial court does not have to worry at all. ”

Liu Wei showed a look of relief on his face and said, "It will be according to the will of the Great Sima Mansion." So, what's going on with the bandits? ”

A few years ago, Liu Wei ordered the Da Sima Mansion to formulate a matter for suppressing bandits, and strive to completely eradicate bandits by the end of the year, merging prefectures, divisions, and Yanzhou, so as to strive for a good environment for the 'new deal'.

Huangfu Song said: "Back to Your Majesty, the bandits in the state are basically eliminated." There is still some chaos in Sanfu and Hanoi, and before the end of the year, it should be able to calm down. Yanzhou is a bit complicated, please be more forgiving. ”

The reason why it is difficult to eradicate bandits in the land of Sanfu is not only because of the rebellion of the Qiang people and the Yellow Turban Army, which smashed the land of Sanfu to pieces, but also because of last year's earthquake, many people who could not eat roared up and became bandits.

As for Hanoi, because of its proximity to Jizhou, the Montenegrin army has plundered from time to time, and there are many Montenegrin troops entrenched in the mountains and forests.

Yanzhou is more complicated, with Hanoi County in the west, Jizhou in the north, Yuzhou in the south, and Qingzhou in the east.

Liu Wei knew the situation, nodded and said: "Yanzhou can be tolerated, but Si Li cannot, all bandits must be pacified before the end of the year." Divisions are all chaotic, how can the world set an example? ”

"Commandment!" Huangfu Song, Lu Zhi raised his hand.

Liu Wei hummed, turned over the recital in front of him, and was just about to speak, when he saw Liu Shao crawling to the edge of the soft couch, he was startled, and hurriedly got up and ran over, hugged him, and saw that the other two little guys didn't know when they fell asleep, so they turned around and said to the two: "Exempt Dong Zhuo's lieutenant, give him an order, and ask him to enter Liang State." ”

When Huangfu Song heard this, he just thought about it, and said: "Your Majesty, in this way, Dong Zhuo will be behind Yuan Shao, and the ministers are afraid that they will fight." ”

"Not necessarily,"

Liu Wei hugged Liu Shao, checked it slightly, wanted to coax him to sleep, and said: "Give Dong Zhuo, give Yuan Shao, add a little pressure, don't make them too comfortable." ”

Huangfu Song understood, raised his hand and said, "The minister's decree." ”

Liu Wei nodded and said, "That's all for today." The arrangement of the arrangement, the division of the subordinate, and the state, Yanzhou can no longer have a big chaos. ”

In these three places, the chaos is almost chaotic, and now it is from chaos to governance, and it must be stable!

Huangfu Song, Lu Zhi stood up, raised his hand and said: "The minister will retire." ”

When the two of them left, Liu Wei walked back and forth a few times with the little guy in his arms, his eyes suddenly cold, and said: "Zuo Li is incompetent, far worse than Huangfu Jianchang." Send a message to him and order him to come up with a means! ”

Pan Yin stepped forward quietly and said, "The villain leads the order." ”

Liu Wei waved his hand, hugged the little guy, and looked at the map of Jizhou on the wall.

The giant deer was circled by him with a red pen, and it was extremely conspicuous.

'You can't hold it, will you?' Liu Wei whispered in his heart.

Almost all the Montenegrin army was dispatched, and in Jizhou to capture the city, Julu was besieged by hundreds of thousands of troops.

At the same time, the giant deer, Simon.

Ying Shao stood at the head of the city, looking at the Black Mountain Army receding like a tide, his face was sinking like water, and his eyes were full of worry.

Zhang Liao hurriedly came up and said, "Envoy, that Zhang Yan seems to have appeared." ”

Ying Shao turned his head, his expression had become calm, and he said lightly: "I know." ”

Zhang Liao's expression was solemn, and he said: "Envoy, from the current point of view, I am afraid that there are only a few 500,000 people besieging the giant deer, and there are more than 100,000 young people who can use it!" ”

Ying Shao saw Zhao Yun, Xiahou Dun rushed over, went downstairs with a saber, and said with a smile: "This Black Mountain Army fought from the summer harvest to the autumn harvest, for several months, hundreds of thousands of people, how much grain does this cost?" Jizhou is in chaos this year, and there are not many autumn harvests, Youzhou, Bingzhou, Qingzhou, they can't loot it. How long do you think they'll last? ”

When Zhang Liao heard this, his tense face relaxed slightly.

Zhao Yun and Xiahoudun glanced at each other, followed behind him, and said, "Envoy, in the city, our grain and grass have lasted less than a month. ”

The 60,000 troops in the city, as well as more than 100,000 people, are a huge consumption every day.

Ying Shaolang laughed, strode down the tower, and said, "In another month, it should snow." ”

Zhang Liao, Zhao Yun, Xiahoudun and others were relieved, laughed, raised their hands and said, "Make you wise." ”

Ying Shao walked in front, smiling silently, but his eyes became more and more intense.

At night, the sky is dark, and there is an inconspicuous courtyard.

There was not a single light in the whole courtyard, only a dim candle in a small room at the back of the courtyard.

Around this light, there were actually more than a dozen people sitting.

Headed by the head of the Julu family, Sun Yan, the head of the Sun family, was in his forties, his eyebrows were like frost, his expression was cold, and he said in a low voice: "You all know the matter. The officers and soldiers held out for less than half a month in the city. And there are already a million Black Mountain troops outside the city, and the fall of the giant deer is a matter of time, and you and I have to think about the clan. ”

The others looked at each other, and one of them said, "Brother Sun, we are also sad about this." ”

The others nodded in agreement, their faces full of fear and fear.

The Montenegrin army has always been violent, with plundering as the first priority. Once the city is broken, these big clans, not to mention the savings of several generations, will be destroyed in one fell swoop, and there will be the doom of extinction!

Sun Yan looked at their expressions, took out a letter from his arms, and said: "The Black Mountain Army Marshal Bai Huan sent me a letter, if we open the city gate, we will be sure that we will be safe, and there will be no mistakes in the autumn." ”

Some people know, and some don't. An old man said urgently: "What if the official army holds it?" What should I do after the Montenegrin army retreats? What about the East Window incident? ”

The others looked at Sun Yan and nodded uneasily.

Collusion with the Montenegrin Army, this is a plot with the tiger, if you are not careful, it is really a doom of extermination!

Sun Yan's face did not change, and said, "Don't worry, everyone. The grain and grass of the officers and soldiers are only fifteen days, and the Montenegrin army outside is one million, and they will not stop until the city is broken! I have made an agreement with Bai Huan that I will pretend, even if I retreat afterwards, the court will not be able to get our handle. The so-called incident, there is neither a letter nor other evidence, how did the incident happen? ”

Listening to his words, the crowd couldn't help but look at each other, and then whispered.

Colluding with the Montenegrin Army and opening the city gate is no different from rebellion, once the incident happens, it will be a catastrophe for the nine clans!

After a long time, someone said: "Brother Sun, it's better to wait, won't the officers and soldiers be able to hold on for more than ten days?" How about waiting another ten days? ”

Seeing that he was going to sit and watch the direction of the wind, Sun Yan's eyes were cold, and he said, "Who can be sure when the city will break?" Once the Montenegrin army breaks through on its own? We will add the sin to the third degree. And I've heard that I'm not the only one who has received the letter. ”

More than a dozen people appeared on board, and they stopped talking.

If the Montenegrin army breaks through the city in advance, they will be doomed!

Except for Sun Yan, the others got together again and discussed in low voices.

Almost all of them are still hesitating, struggling.

On the one hand, the situation of the official army is precarious, and on the other hand, the safety of the family.

After a long time, two of them raised their hands and said in a deep voice, "Brother Sun, we listen to you!" ”

So far, they can only give it a go, and they can't wait for death.

The others looked at Sun Yan and nodded heavily.

They don't have a choice.

"When is the time to do it?" Someone asked.

Seeing that they all agreed, Sun Yan breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, his face was decisive, and he said: "Five days later, when the officials and soldiers are tired, they suddenly open the city gate to welcome the Montenegrin army into the city and protect our clan!" ”

"Good!" More than four people responded with their mouths, and they were already united.

……

How would Ying Shao and the others know that they worked hard to defend the city, and the big families in the city were ready to backstab them.

But on the third day, everyone sensed that something was wrong, but it wasn't because of Sun Yan and others.

The head of the North Gate.

Xiahoudun brandished a big knife, desperately slashing and slashing the Black Mountain soldiers who rushed to the city, his face was covered with blood, and he roared angrily: "Kill me!" One is not allowed to go to town! ”

The soldiers on the tower of the castle used spears, rolling stones, scalding oil, arrows, and all the means they could use.

It didn't take long for a military marquis to come over and say loudly: "Sima, this can't be done, the rebel attack is too fierce, please increase the troops to the city!" ”

"No, keep killing me!" Xiahoudun roared without hesitation. It's only been half an hour before we have to increase our troops, how can we fight later?

When the military marquis heard this, he gritted his teeth and went to resist again.

Xiahoudun looked at the Black Mountain Army that was like a tide and did not want to die, his heart was heavy, and he roared constantly.

At the West Gate, Zhang Liao was facing a situation that was also not optimistic, listening to the sound of the door under his feet, brandishing a big knife, and shouting: "Archery!" Shoot me an arrow! Don't keep one, shoot it all! ”

The soldiers on the city tower have been out of order, fighting face-to-face with the Montenegrin army that rushed up, and the city tower is about to lose control and change hands.

Seeing this, Zhang Liao said angrily: "Don't mess around, kill me!" We still have 10,000 reinforcements under the city, go to the city at any time, don't be afraid! ”

The soldiers seemed to hear it all, shouted in unison, their morale was high, and they killed them again.

On the north gate, an unprecedented hand-to-hand battle was staged, reaching the most dangerous situation.

The situation at the east gate and the south gate was also not optimistic, and the Montenegrin army suddenly attacked the city with this intensity, which caught everyone off guard.

Ying Shao was not in a panic, commanding the defense of the city and dispatching soldiers and horses.

He has 60,000 troops in hand, and tens of thousands of young men who can go to the city at any time, and he has a kind of full confidence.

His calmness gave the soldiers great confidence, and the fierce battle between the four gates lasted until the evening, and the Montenegrin army finally retreated.

When everyone cleaned up the mess and returned to the official office, Ying Shao set up the banquet, looked at Zhang Liao, Zhao Yun, Xiahoudun and others with a smile, and said, "Everyone has worked hard, drink it today!" ”

Several people were tired enough and were injured, but it did not prevent them from drinking and eating meat.

They are all men on horse leather, no one is hypocritical, and after a polite word to Ying Shao, he sat down, drank wine, and ate meat.

After he was full of wine and food, Zhao Yun wiped his mouth, looked at Ying Shao and said, "Envoy, why is this Black Mountain Army suddenly so crazy?" ”

In the past, the Montenegrin army was still measured in attacking the city, and it would not be so desperate.

You must know that one of them died on the tower of the city, and almost more than five of the siegers died, so the intensity of the siege was simply the work of a madman.

Ying Shao didn't drink much, and when he saw that several other people looked over, he smiled and said, "There is still a month before winter." ”

At the end of the month, ask for a monthly pass~~~
