Chapter 438: Chopping melons and vegetables
Zhang Liao has a calm temperament, which is the same as his use of soldiers, meticulous and rarely leaks.
Liu Wei didn't ask, so he didn't speak.
And Liu Wei paced, thinking about the situation in Jiangdong.
Yuan Shao occupied all places in Yangzhou except Wu County, and has been releasing the news that he wants to go south and divide the world with Liu Wei.
Sun Ce of Wu County, in the battle against Dong Zhuo, was famous and brave, far surpassing his father.
Liu Biao in the west is 'loyal' to the imperial court, expressing loyalty from time to time, but in specific affairs, he is perfunctory, obviously 'listening to the propaganda but not listening to the tune', like many people, is 'waiting for changes, sitting and watching the direction of the wind'.
To the north, Zhang Liao of Xuzhou and Liu Bei of Yuzhou.
"I heard that Liu Bei has poached a lot of you in Xuzhou?" After walking a few steps, Liu Wei said with a smile.
"It doesn't count,"
Zhang Liao followed Liu Wei closely and said, "General Liu is the former Xuzhou Mu and has many followers. ”
Liu Wei snorted, noncommittal in his heart.
Liu Bei's situation is very similar to Cao Cao for a few years.
At that time, Cao Cao was defeated repeatedly, his reputation was discredited, and he was a eunuch, so it can be said that the court was cold, there were almost no strategists, and there was no way to ask for help in Luoyang and everywhere, and no big talent was willing to enter his shogunate.
The current Liu Bei is the same.
There are many people from small families under his hands, as well as vendors, but there is no talent.
"He went to find that Zhuge and found it?" Liu Wei looked back at Huangfu Jianchang.
Huangfu Jian Chang immediately shook his head and said, "I pounced on the air, and the minister also tried to find it, but I didn't find it, it is said that I am in seclusion." ”
Liu Wei smiled and continued to walk forward.
Today's scholars like to be hermits at every turn, some are real hermits, some are waiting, and some are selling their reputations.
"What do you think of Sun Ce?" Liu Wei asked, calculating the time, Sun Ce should be almost there.
There were many people behind him, and no one spoke first.
Sun Ce is now a 'special person', who was brave and loyal in the battle against Dong Zhuo.
Compared with Liu Biao's obscurity, Sun Ce's actions showed that he was loyal to the Han family and did not act out of the ordinary.
But they have too much black history in the Sun family, and the government and the opposition are very careless about Sun Ce, and they have been trying to suppress him, so they have been pressuring Sun Ce to inherit the Marquis of Wucheng, and it was not until Sun Ce was needed to block Yuan Shao that the court relented.
Therefore, in the eyes of the highest level of the imperial court, Sun Ce is no different from Yuan Shao and others, both of whom are ill-intentioned. But outside, Sun Ce was pacifying Dong Zhuo and resisting Yuan Shao's siege, not to mention inheriting the title of Marquis of Wucheng, it would not be too much to seal another one.
Lu Yu, Zhao Yun, Zhang Liao and others were silent, but Lu Bu couldn't help it.
He had long wanted to behave, but when he saw that the others didn't speak, he immediately raised his hand and said in a deep voice: "Your Majesty, according to the ministers, Sun Ce is just a native chicken and a dog, and the ministers only need 10,000 people to break Sun Ce's thieves for Your Majesty!" ”
Liu Wei smiled and waved his hand, and said, "Sun Ce, I still have another use, and I don't need Lu Qing's family to make a move for the time being." However, with the courage of Lu Qing's family, it is equivalent to idleness in Xuzhou, let me think about it, where can I make contributions to Lu Qing's family......"
When Lu Bu heard this, his face immediately became excited, and his eyes looked at Liu Wei with expectation.
Zhang Liao, Zhao Yun, Lu Yu and others stopped talking, glanced at Lu Bu, and frowned secretly.
This Lu Bu is not a good thing, he has no loyalty at all, he is a real villain!
Along the way, he has been rebellious, and he devours the Lord, which is extremely disgusting!
If it weren't for his opposition to Dong Zhuo, his contribution to the imperial court, and the court's pardon of the guilt, he would have died I don't know how many times.
It was originally placed under Cao Cao's account, but Cao Cao didn't like it and kept it cold. After Cao Cao entered the Great Sima, he thought about it, placed Lu Bu under Zhang Liao's tent, and wrote a letter to make it clear: Take strict precautions, if something is wrong, kill him decisively, regardless of the consequences.
Lu Yu took in the expressions of the crowd, stepped forward quietly, and said softly: "Your Majesty, recently, Wuhuan has been about to move, repeatedly invading the border. ”
Liu Wei looked back in surprise, Lu Yu has always been cautious in his words and deeds in this kind of thing, and never spoke.
As soon as he turned around, he met the meaningful expressions and eyes of Lu Yu, Zhao Yun, Huangfu Jianchang, Zhang Liao and others.
Liu Wei raised his eyebrows, he still didn't understand, and couldn't help but smile and say to Lu Bu: "Qing family, go to the side, are you willing?" ”
Lu Bu's expression moved, and he obviously hesitated.
Biansai has always been cold, is that a place for people?
Seeing this, Liu Wei nodded knowingly and said, "Well, I understand." In this way, the Qing family went to Cao Qing's house first, Cao Qing's family encountered some trouble in Yanzhou, and the Qing family went to help him. ”
Lu Bu's eyes changed slightly, and he opened his mouth and said, "Your Majesty, minister, minister......"
He was speechless.
Lu Bu was reluctant to go to Cao Cao's account!
Under Cao Cao's account, he was snubbed, even if he wanted to recognize Cao Cao as his father-in-law, he was quietly refused.
If you go to Cao Cao's tent again, it will definitely be a remote corner, and there will be no future in this life!
The smile on Liu Wei's face was gone, he held his hands, looked at him and said lightly: "There are rules for all the positions of my big man, but I don't let the Qing family pick and choose." ”
Lu Bu's face changed suddenly, and he knelt down on one knee and said in a deep voice: "The minister's order!" ”
When the words fell, Lu Bu regretted it in his heart.
It's not the first sentence that promised Liu Wei, go to the side. Instead, he should speak first: the minister wants to escort His Majesty around him, and saddle his majesty before and after the horse!
If so, perhaps, he will have an unprecedented good future, instead of annoying Liu Wei now, and he has to go to Cao Cao's account!
Zhang Liao, Zhao Yun and others breathed a sigh of relief, quietly glanced at each other, and made a respectful gesture to Liu Wei.
Go to Cao Cao, and they won't worry at all.
Although the civil and official clique of the government and the opposition slandered Cao Cao in every way, in the military generals, they all regarded Cao Cao as an idol.
Cao Cao has been defeated and defeated repeatedly, and has pacified the Qingzhou Yellow Turban Army, the Jizhou Black Mountain Army, and even exterminated Dong Zhuo.
Liu Wei glanced at them and said to Lu Bu: "Qing family, don't be disappointed." ”
"Commandment." Lu Bu replied bitterly.
Liu Wei was just about to speak, when he looked up and saw a fast horse galloping.
Huangfu Jianchang also saw it, and hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, it is a plainclothes guard of the Imperial City Mansion. ”
Liu Wei snorted and waited quietly.
The plainclothes guard came to him, jumped off his horse, knelt down on one knee and said: "Your Majesty, Wucheng Marquis Sun Ce has arrived, plead for mercy." ”
Liu Wei sighed and said with a smile: "Say Cao Cao...... Say Sun Ce Sun Ce will arrive, let him come over. ”
"Yes." The plainclothes guards responded, got up, got on their horses, and galloped away.
Liu Wei paced again, walked slowly, and said: "Lu Qing's family, when you arrive in Yanzhou, everything must be given priority to state affairs, if Cao Qing's family or Huang Qing's family and others have any scruples, you can play in me, or you can go first and later, don't scruples." For the Qing family, I can still trust it. ”
These words, if they are changed to Huangfu Jianchang, Zhao Yun and others said, no one doubted it, but to Lu Bu, Huangfu Jianchang, Zhao Yun and others did not squint, as if they had not heard it.
"Minister, thank you!" Lu Bu was very excited, and once again knelt on one knee and said loudly.
Liu Wei glanced at him deeply, and he didn't know if this Lu Bu could understand the meaning of his words.
However, he didn't care, it was just an idle move, and it wasn't the time to use it for the time being.
"Wenyuan, tell me about Xuzhou." Liu Wei put his hands behind his back and walked forward slowly.
Zhang Liao immediately answered and said, "Yes." Your Majesty, at present the ministers have 20,000 troops stationed in Xiapi and 20,000 troops in other counties, for a total of 40,000, all of which are from the camp of the forbidden army. Among them, there are 10,000 soldiers in Guangling County, most of which are between tuntian and training, and there is no war......"
Zhang Liao said this, and a group of men in coarse cloth clothes and holding various mixed swords, soldiers and sticks quietly gathered on the hill not far away, their eyes were blazing, like a hungry wolf seeing a flock of sheep, hot and eager.
"Qu Shuai,"
One of the round-faced men said in a low voice: "We have inquired, these people should have come from the north, dressed gorgeously, with strong waist pockets, and there must be a lot of good things." ”
The leading 'Qu Shuai' had a face full of meat, held a big knife, and said with some hesitation: "What do you think of the fast horse just now?" It's not going to be a big deal, is it? ”
The round face immediately said: "Definitely not, how can there be big people who come to this wilderness, looking at their appearance, they are all weak and can't help it, it is estimated that the noble son of which family is lost." Besides, let's do them quietly here, and throw the corpses to the back mountains to feed the wolves, no one will know! ”
'Qu Shuai' looked back at the group of people behind him.
The yellow-skinned, disheveled men nodded their heads again and again, their eyes full of hungry desire.
They were really hungry.
From winter to now, there have been almost no rich people robbed, and they have been starved three times in two days, not to mention them, and the wives and children in the village are even more miserable, and many people have starved to death.
Kill these rich and noble sons, and they will at least be able to eat a few meals of meat!
Seeing this, 'Qu Shuai' looked ruthless, gritted his teeth and said, "Okay." Fourth, you touch it from behind, you, the second, go around to the north, we surround on three sides, fight quickly, and don't let anyone find out. ”
"What about the old immortal?" Round Face asked.
'Qu Shuai' had fierce eyes and said, "Kill it, burn a few more incense." ”
The round face nodded, and began to arrange the brothers to do things.
Under his orders, more than 30 men quietly shuttled through the mountains and forests, wanting to surround Liu Wei and his party not far away.
Liu Wei didn't notice it, and was still discussing the matter of Xuzhou with Zhang Liao.
Although Zhang Liao was in Tuntian, it was far from enough to meet the needs of the army, and the imperial court still owed money and grain to the forbidden army camp, and where was the money and grain to allocate to Zhang Liao.
Liu Wei put his hands behind his back and said with Zhang Liao in a deep voice: "The shortfall is 30 million, well, it's not much, I'll think of a way." Lu Yu, can you still squeeze out a little? ”
Lu Yu is in charge of the palace, and he is more familiar with many miscellaneous matters than Liu Wei.
Hearing this, he took two steps forward and said, "Your Majesty, it is no longer possible to be frugal in the palace, the prime minister mentioned the reduction of officials before, and there was a lot of controversy on the side of Shangshutai, and it was not passed." Only...... There are also some in the inner library. ”
"How many more?" Liu Wei looked back at him.
Lu Yu looked at him, hesitated, and said in a low voice: "Before coming, the minister asked Da Changqiu, saying that it was less than 10 million, and it was prepared for the East Palace. ”
When Zhang Liao heard this, he immediately said: "Your Majesty, there is no need to worry about the minister, in the spring of this year, the minister can at least reclaim 1,000 hectares, and the military food is enough." ”
Liu Wei shook his head and said, "That's your ability, and it's also my incompetence." I'll figure it out again......"
"Your Majesty,"
At this time, Zhao Yun quietly stepped forward, looked around vigilantly, and said, "Someone is approaching." ”
Liu Wei immediately raised his head, looked around, found no abnormality, and turned to Huangfu Jianchang.
Huangfu Jian Chang immediately said: "Your Majesty didn't allow me to bring too many people before, because there is no altar of the Imperial City Mansion around, and the nearest one is still three miles away." ”
"There are five hundred janissaries not far away." Zhao Yundao.
Zhang Liaohu stared at him and looked around.
This is Xuzhou, if His Majesty is in danger in Xuzhou, it will be his dereliction of duty and a heinous crime!
Lu Bu turned over his horse even more, and said in a deep voice: "Your Majesty, there are ministers, and your Majesty is not worried." ”
Liu Wei looked at him, couldn't help but smile, and immediately nodded with Zhao Yun.
Zhao Yun understood, took the big knife from the hand of the only janissary behind him, and threw it to Lu Bu.
Lu Bu took the big knife, feeling light, and couldn't help frowning.
However, he didn't care, because he had already seen more than a dozen people sneaking over not far away, and immediately shouted loudly, and rushed over: "Where are the rats!" ”
When the 'Qu Shuai' not far away saw that he was discovered, he no longer hid, stood up, and shouted: "Brothers, eat meat!" ”
Immediately, more than 30 people from all directions, shouting and shouting, brandishing knives, guns and sticks, killed violently in the direction of Liu Wei.
Zhang Liao, Zhao Yun, Huangfu Jianchang, Lu Yu and others guarded around Liu Wei, vigilant against these people.
Zhao Yun held a spear in his hand, without any panic, and said, "Your Majesty is worry-free, the guards will be here soon." ”
Liu Wei stood for a long time, and said with a smile: "There is the Qing family, when have I ever been afraid, but they are just some mountain bandits." ”
Liu Wei saw that these were not organized assassins, it was obvious that they had entered the territory of some mountain bandits, and they were about to be robbed.
Zhao Yun didn't dare to be careless, he had already taken half a step, ready to meet the enemy.
Not far away, Lu Bu was like a tiger entering a flock of sheep, his momentum was like a rainbow, he took the lead in passing through, slashing left and right with a big knife, and cut down four or five people in the blink of an eye.
The leading 'Qu Shuai' was taken aback, but seeing that Liu Wei and a group of people who were lonely and quite thin not far away, he still gritted his teeth and rushed over: "Kill them first!" ”
A group of bandits rushed over, Zhao Yun and Zhang Liao quickly stepped forward and distanced themselves from Liu Wei.
One was armed with a spear, and the other slashed with a large knife, blocking all the bandits who rushed over, and from time to time someone fell to the ground.
Zhang Liao, who was on the opposite side of the Qu Shuai, almost died after a few moves.
When he turned back, Lu Bu was like chopping melons and vegetables, and in a short period of time, more than ten of his subordinates were gone.
What else is this fighting?
"Run!"
The round-faced man reacted faster than him, and ran a few steps before he shouted.
But it's easy to come, but how can it be easy to go?
Zhao Yun, Zhang Liao and others have already begun to counterattack.
Not far away, a group of Praetorian cavalry, like a storm and clouds, lightning came.
