After discussing for a long time, Xun Yu and the others came out of the Chongde Hall and began to get busy.

Not long after they left, Liu Yu immediately entered the apse of Chongde Palace.

He saluted and said with a solemn face: "Your Majesty, news has come from Yuzhou, Sun Jian, Liu Biao and others have been defeated, and the traitor Yuan Shu ......."

Liu Wei waved his hand and said, "I know all this." I came to Zhaoqing's house because of this letter. ”

Liu Yu was stunned when he heard Liu Wei's words, and immediately relieved, the news in the palace has always been more sensitive than them.

Liu Yu took the letter, but before he finished it, his expression was shocked, and then he shouted: "The traitor is so daring!" ”

Raising his head, he argued at Liu and said: "Your Majesty, the minister asks for an order, lead the army to crusade against this thief, and if this thief is not destroyed, the minister is willing to apologize with death!" ”

Liu Wei drank tea, smiled calmly, and said, "Well, I came to Zhaoqing's house to discuss this matter." I mean, Zhang Wen is handsome, Liu Bei, Yuan Shao is the deputy, and Jia Shixie is the assassin of Jiaozhou, and they are on three sides. ”

Liu Yu didn't seem to think so, but when he thought about it carefully, he felt that something was wrong.

Yuan Shu is the emperor, this is the most serious thing in the past two hundred years, such a painless three-sided conquest?

Is the reaction too 'bland'?

Liu Yu took a deep breath and said, "Your Majesty, please lead the army to conscript!" ”

Liu Wei waved his hand, not caring at all, and said: "The three-sided conquest, plus Sun Jian, Liu Biao and others, the total number of troops exceeds 300,000, what is the difference between the Qing family and my own conquest?" Don't give Yuan Shu too much face. ”

Liu Yu said twice in a row, and seeing that Liu Wei still refused, his expression gradually became solemn.

He didn't know what Shang Shutai's gang had stirred up here before, and at the same time, he knew very well that the palace and Shang Shutai must be plotting something, and they were hiding it from him openly!

In any case, Yuan Shu's claim to be emperor is a provocation to the Han system, and it must not be tolerated!

Liu Yu raised his hand, his face was as pale as iron, and said: "Your Majesty, the conquest should be planned by the Great Sima Mansion as a whole, and Shang Shutai has transgressed." ”

Liu Wei raised his eyebrows, and then said: "Shang Shutai only gave me advice, and did not interfere in the affairs of the Great Sima Mansion. The specific tactical arrangements are at the disposal of the Grand Sima Mansion. Now, I want to explain it to the Qing family. ”

Liu Yu had already seen that Liu Wei had no room to change his mind, and was silent for a moment, and said, "Minister, listen to the holy teachings." ”

Only then did Liu Wei nod and said, "First, this campaign, nominally, can mobilize all the soldiers and horses, and the momentum must be huge. But in fact, there are only Yuan Shao, Liu Bei and Shi Xie. In other places, they must not be moved, especially Cao Cao, Sun Jian, and Liu Biao. Second, the goal this time is to extinguish Yuan Shu, not to expand the war, to fight quickly, not to delay for a long time. Third, Zhang Wen was only the nominal commander, and the military order was sent out of the Great Sima Mansion, and the specific implementation was discussed by Yuan Shao and Liu Bei. Fourth...... As for the post-war arrangement, it was decided by Shang Shutai that the princes in the south should be controlled, and they should not be allowed to take advantage of the opportunity to sit big! ”

Seeing that Liu Yu was clearly organized, and knew that it was difficult to change, Liu Yu pondered again and again, and said, "Your Majesty, is this battle under the full command of the Great Sima Mansion?" ”

Liu Wei glanced at him deeply and said, "Qing family, I want to instruct you to obey the overall situation in everything, and not to act arbitrarily!" ”

It's an 'instruction', but it's a warning.

Liu Yu's expression did not move, and said, "The minister understands." ”

Liu Wei snorted and said: "The Great Sima Mansion should discuss carefully with Bing Cao, the right to command the army belongs to Bing Cao, and the intersection of all aspects and the division of rights and responsibilities must be careful and clear, and there must be no phenomenon of ripping off. ”

"Commandment." Liu Yu did not hesitate to respond.

Liu Yu is not a person who is keen on power, and he also agrees with the division of military power.

The most important thing is that he got the command of the expedition against Yuan Shu!

Liu Wei looked down at the word 'Liu Yan' that he had written before on the table, looked up and said to Liu Yu: "Qing family, there is one more thing." ”

"Your Majesty, please speak." Liu Yu, who was already thinking about how to use the soldiers, said almost subconsciously casually.

Liu Wei's eyes were a little colder, and he said: "I got the news, Liu Yan's health is not good, there is a high probability that he will not survive the summer, and the Great Sima Mansion must be prepared to forcibly enter Shudi!" ”

Liu Yu's face changed slightly, and his thoughts just now suddenly dispersed and moved to Yizhou.

Since Liu Yan entered Yizhou, he cut off contact with the imperial court and established himself on his own.

Yizhou has a special geography, the road is difficult to travel, easy to defend and difficult to attack.

In addition, the imperial court is facing many major events, and there is nothing to be done about it, so it can only pretend to be deaf and dumb and turn a blind eye.

Now, Liu Yan is about to die of illness, so the imperial court should reappoint Yizhou Mu.

But Liu Yan has been operating in Yizhou for many years, and the imperial court wants to take back Yizhou with an edict, which is wishful thinking, and the only way is to recover it by force!

Liu Yu calculated again and again, his heart was heavy, and he raised his hand and said, "The minister's order!" ”

Liu Wei nodded and said, "The Qing family will go to Shangshutai again, and the Taiwan government will discuss it carefully and act together, and the momentum will be huge." ”

Liu Yu was full of ambition, and said in a deep voice: "The minister's decree, retire,"

Liu Wei watched him leave, and opened the word 'Liu Yan', and below it was a somewhat vague 'Liangzhou'.

Staring at the word 'Liangzhou', Liu Wei kept groaning.

Originally, Liu Wei was not in a hurry to make a move against 'Liangzhou', but Liu Yan was about to fail, Yizhou could not continue to let go, and if he wanted to solve Yizhou, he had to solve Liangzhou first.

After a long while, Liu Wei raised his head, looked at Pan Yin not far away, and said, "You say, can you transfer Han Sui and Ma Teng to fight Yuan Shu?" ”

Pan Yin laughed with him, took a step forward, and said, "Your Majesty, the villain thinks that Sanqiang has too much appetite and is also timid......

Liu Wei snorted, his mind was still spinning, and said, "Keep an eye on Shangshutai and Da Sima Mansion." ”

Pan Yin smiled and replied cautiously: "Yes." ”

And at this time in Shangshutai.

Xun Yu, Zhong Xuan, Xun You, Sima Jun and others carefully discussed and determined the content and time of the edict against thieves, as well as the generals, soldiers, money, food, armor and so on.

When Liu Yu rushed over, Liu Yu should have taken back the command of this expedition.

"I want 100,000 stones!"

After Liu Yu understood Shang Shutai's plan, he didn't pay attention to it at all, and opened his mouth to say.

Xun You immediately shook his head and said, "Gong Liu, you also know the situation in Taicang, it is less than five thousand stones now, and there are still two months before the summer harvest, so you can't take out so much at all." ”

"Within a month, I want 100,000 stones." Liu Yu had a tough attitude and a resolute gaze, and said: "Rebellion is a matter for the imperial court, and it cannot be paid to the local government!" Prime Minister, I must have so much, and it is already the lowest, and the imperial court must be ready to increase at any time. ”

Xun Yu was just about to speak, Xun Yu answered, and said: "Duke Liu, in this campaign, the imperial court will not give money and food, nor will it use the garrisons of the forbidden army camps and northern states. ”

Liu Yu's face changed slightly, and said: "It's just my power, Shang Shutai has no right to interfere!" ”

"We didn't interfere,"

Zhong Xuan said: "Liu Gong, there are more than 500,000 soldiers and horses that can be called in the south. And the imperial court really has no money and food. ”

bang

Liu Yu slapped the table, his face turned blue, and he turned around and left.

Xun Yu and the others didn't stay, and watched Liu Yu walk out of Shangshutai with different expressions.

Sima Jun stared at it for a while, retracted his eyes, and said, "Liu Gong's words are actually not unreasonable. ”

Zhong Miao nodded and said, "If you use the soldiers, horses, money and food of the imperial court, it is the best, and it will boost the royal division and greatly stabilize the people's hearts......"

Xun You said: "We all know what Duke Liu means, but the risk is too great, and the court can't take risks." ”

Sima Jun didn't speak again, and he was also clear about the embarrassing situation of the imperial court.

Xun Yu said: "Let's follow the plan we agreed." ”

The crowd responded, and continued to deliberate on the details.

At this time, Luoyang City did not know what was happening in the south.

After four or five years of recovery, Luoyang has gradually prospered, and the streets are full of people, and the noise comes and goes.

Liu Yu left Shangshutai and did not return to the Great Sima Mansion, but went straight out of the palace and came to Zhang Wen's mansion.

Zhang Wen was also a great performer and ranked as a lieutenant, if it weren't for the party struggle, maybe his status was not under the 'three masters'.

Because of the deliberate evasion of conscription, after Zhang Wen came out again, there was almost no real job, only the court needed him, and when he thought of him, he would be used.

Zhang Wen was shocked by Liu Yu's arrival, and his face did not move.

After entering the backyard and tea, after Liu Yu finished speaking, Zhang Wen was stunned and said in astonishment: "Yuan Shu...... Emperor ......"

Liu Yu looked at his expression, drank tea, did not speak, and gave him time to react.

'Emperor', what a terrible thing, who would dare to think? But Yuan Shu risked the world's disapproval and did it!

After a long while, Zhang Wen came back to his senses, shook his head again and again, and sighed: "Then from the Yuan Shu family, the fourth world and the third duke, how did he come to this point?" ”

When the Yuan family collapsed, I don't know how much of a sensation it caused in the Han dynasty and the opposition, especially among the family.

And the vast majority of the family did not believe in the actions of the Yuan family at all, and had great sympathy for what happened to the Yuan family.

During that time, the world was very jealous of this, and even hated the imperial court, so that the family united to boycott the imperial court and refused to go out, resulting in no one available to the imperial court for a considerable period of time!

In the past four or five years, Yuan Shu has gone from rebelling under the pretext of the 'edict of the first emperor' to now openly claiming the emperor, which is simply a big joke!

Liu Yu has experienced these with his own eyes, and said: "The Yuan family is ambitious, and what Zhang Gong did back then may not know the whole picture now, although Yuan Shu is shocking, it is not an accident. Gong Zhang, I'm here to find you, I need you to lead everywhere and exterminate Yuan Shu as soon as possible! ”

Zhang Wen was silent.

Although he was not in the court, he had already guessed most of it from Liu Yu personally running over to find him.

There is no shortage of generals in the imperial court, but the use of him, a 'discarded' person, is enough to show that the attitude of the imperial court is obscure.

"Liu Gong,"

After thinking for a while, Zhang Wen sighed and said, "Since this winter, my legs have been a little disobedient, and I'm afraid I won't be able to go too far." ”

Liu Yu's expression was suddenly a little ugly, no matter how much he thought about it, he didn't expect that this most important Zhang Wen would actually hide!

"Zhang Gong,"

Liu Yu's face was indifferent, and he said, "It's about Sheji, you really can't go?" ”

Zhang Wen's brows moved, not caring about Liu Yu's warning, but this matter is indeed 'related to the community'.

If he dodges again at this juncture, it will be impossible for the court to tolerate him, and he will be charged with 'rebellion' and sent him to prison.

Zhang Wen sighed silently, and said with a hint of sincerity on his face: "Duke Liu, Yuan Shu is a person with great ambitions and talents, and the imperial court has been conquering and suppressing for many years, is it really impossible to extinguish?" This time, Yuan Shu was rebellious, and everyone was punished for it, and it was easy to exterminate it. Why does it have to be me? ”

Liu Yu didn't know about this, his request for life was rejected twice, and he didn't go around the bend with Zhang Wen, and said: "This is the emperor's grace, and the immortal merit is in your hands." On this expedition, I want you to do three things. ”

Zhang Wen saw that Liu Yu said directly, got off the donkey down the slope, and acquiesced silently.

"First,"

Liu Yu stared at him and said, "You must be fast, you must beat the momentum out and deter all walks of life!" ”

Zhang Wen nodded, understanding what Liu Yu meant.

"Second,"

Liu Yu said: "For the captured states and counties, they cannot be ceded to others, they must be controlled by the imperial court!" ”

"Nature." Zhang Wen said.

"Thirdly,"

Liu Yu's eyes were scorching, exuding murderous intent, and he said: "For the powerful ministers in the south who hold soldiers and horses, we must find an opportunity to cut them off, even if we can't, we must consume their soldiers and horses to clear the way for the court to calm the chaos in the future!" ”

This last one, Zhang Wen's heart was beating when he heard it.

Thinking that at the beginning, Dong Zhuo showed his rebellion, Sun Jian and others repeatedly persuaded him to take the opportunity to kill, but Zhang Wen always refused.

That's because, killing a general is no different from rebellion, and the consequences are unimaginable!

Now that Liu Yu wants him to do this, he is simply pushing him to the guillotine!

Zhang Wen showed a serious and serious expression for the first time, looked at Liu Yu, and said, "Liu Gong, I can't agree to this last one." ”

Liu Yu was more determined than him, and said: "Do you think you are really the boss?" ”

Zhang Wen's expression remained unchanged and said, "Gong Liu, you are pushing yourself into the steep cliff. ”

Liu Yu snorted coldly and said, "Gong Zhang, you are too concerned about yourself, don't you have a little bit of Jiangshan Sheji in your heart?" ”

Zhang Wen saw Liu Yu's attitude clearly, his brows couldn't help frowning, and he couldn't help but be silent.

Liu Yu's purpose is actually very simple, and the means are also simple, but this simple means will put the two of them into a dangerous situation of exterminating the Nine Clans!

Once the news leaks, no one can save them!

Liu Yu and Zhang Wen are also old friends, knowing his temper, he calmed down and said: "Yuan Shao, Sun Jian, Liu Biao, Shixie, you have to fight as hard as possible." In addition, after the war, if you want to be on the border of Jing, Yang, and Henan, you will have at least 50,000 soldiers. Zai Yang and Yi also asked for 50,000 soldiers and waited for my orders. ”

Zhang Wen was very clear about the situation of the court, and from Liu Yu's few words, he instantly understood his intentions.

"You, you want to do something to Liu Yan and Dong Zhuo?" Zhang Wen's eyes widened slightly, and he asked suspiciously.

Liu Yu's expression slowly recovered, and he said lightly: "You don't need to ask more about this." Your task is to extinguish Yuan Shu within two months, boost the royal master, and win the hearts of the people. Zhang Gong, you can only win, not lose! ”

Zhang Wen was silent, sighing in his heart.

It's not that he's afraid of conquering Yuan Shu, but because this battle is too dangerous, no matter whether he wins or loses, he will fall into a complicated court situation, and if he is not careful, he will cause disaster to the whole clan!
