For Wen Chou, any conspiracy and trickery is a local chicken and tile dog in the face of absolute power.

Six battalions to raise the flag?

30,000 elite soldiers?

Can it compare to the 30,000 strong tigers and leopards of my General Wen Chou?

As Yuan Shao's power became stronger and stronger, the generals under Yuan Shao's command began to become arrogant.

Gongsun Zhan, who used to be a powerful and self-proclaimed general, has now become a shrunken king in Yijing Tower.

The three kings of Wuhuan, Tadun, Su Fuyan, and Wuyan, the Xiongnu Shan Yu Fuluo, and Ma Teng Han Sui, who was born in the Western Liang Army, were all intimidated by the prestige of Yuanmen.

In particular, Yan Liang and Wen Chou, the two Yuan Shao generals, are even more proud of the three states and boast of being invincible in the world.

Facing Wen Chou's refutation, Xun Chen couldn't help frowning.

For a wealthy family like Xun Chen, a martial artist like Wen Chou is out of sight.

He only knows how to kill and kill, and he doesn't understand what it means to "go to the army and plot" at all.

"There is a cloud in the art of war: soldiers, the major affairs of the country, the place of death and life, and the way of survival, must not be ignored."

"The exchange of troops between the two countries is related to the life and death of the country, and it must be seriously observed and treated."

"General Wen is brave, but he is not a victorious general."

"If you are defeated, the whole country will be in a difficult situation because of your defeat."

"In today's situation, the two emperors are on the same day, and most of the three prefectures of You, Hebei, and the three prefectures are ordered by the general, while the six prefectures of Qing, Yan, Henan, Xu, Yang, and Jing, as well as the land of Luoyang Guanzhong, are nominally ordered by Liu Xie."

"Lu Bu and Zhang Miao respected Liu Xie and Zhenguanzhong, and Zang Hong, Cao Cao, Liu Bei, and Liu Biao were based in the six states of the Son of Heaven."

"Liu Xie didn't have enough appeal to order the heroes, but the heroes regarded the generals as military exploits."

"We are not afraid of war, but we must not be careless!"

Wen Chou is a military general, although he knows some tactics and strategies, but how can he be the opponent of a famous strategist like Xun Chen, who can observe the general trend.

This burst of analysis refuted the ugly and speechless speechless.

Liu Xie is indeed as Wen Chou said, and his appeal is not strong.

However, in the eyes of Lu Bu, Zhang Miao, Cao Cao, Liu Bei and others, Liu Xie represents the imperial power of the Han Dynasty and righteousness.

It doesn't matter whether there is appeal or not, the important thing is that everyone can use the power and righteousness of the Han Emperor represented by Liu Xie to crusade against the rebellion of the puppet emperor and make immortal achievements.

Yuan Shao stroked his short hair, nodded and praised: "Youruo's words are very kind!" Who wants to go to Qingzhou to find out Liu Bei's true intentions? ”

As soon as the words fell, Xu You, Guo Tu, Feng Ji and other strategists either closed their eyes or lowered their heads to meditate, and no one planned to go to Qingzhou to inquire about the news.

Xun Chen glanced at everyone, snorted secretly, and then bowed his hand to Yuan Shao: "General, Chen is willing to go to Qingzhou in person." ”

"Chen's nephew Xun Youxun Gongda, now he is also visiting friends in Qingzhou, and he is going to Qingzhou, Chen will persuade Gongda to come to Zhuocheng by the way, and assist the general to achieve great things."

Yuan Shao was taken aback: "Xun Gongda also went to Qingzhou?" In the past, He Jin was in charge of politics, and more than 20 celebrities in the sea were recruited, and Xun Gongda was also among them. ”

"Ben will admire Xun Gongda's intelligence and courage."

"Later, Dong Zhuo was in chaos, and Xun Gongda plotted to assassinate Dong, but unfortunately he was leaked by the villain and imprisoned by Dong Zhuo in Chang'an."

"Xun Gongda's planning and decision-making can be compared to good and flat, if he can come to Zhuocheng, he will be set to be a scholar, and he will wait for the vacant position!"

Xun Chen said happily: "If Gongda knew that the general had such a desire to seek talent, he would definitely be happy to come." ”

What Xun Chen didn't know was that if he just went to find out Liu Bei's purpose, no one wanted to get involved in Xun Chen's affairs.

But now, Xun Chen said that he would go to Qingzhou to invite Xun You to Zhuocheng, and Yuan Shao even had to vacate the position of Shangshu, which violated the taboo of the strategists.

Today's position of Shangshu is vacant, and Yuan Shao is currently the general of the "Northern Dynasty" and the secretary of the book.

Whether it is Xu You, Feng Ji, Judge, and Guo Tu, they are actually staring at the position of Shangshu.

After all.

The post of Shangshu is to rule over hundreds of officials and oversee all government decrees.

Whoever becomes a scholar is the first person under Yuan Shao's subordinates!

"Xun Youruo, this guy, knows that he can't compete for Shangshu, so he will attract outsiders to rob it."

"If Xun You is allowed to be a scholar, Xun Youruo will inevitably take charge of power because of this, and the Xun family will be one family, and the family will be dominant."

"Humph! Shameless people, really fool me and wait for unwise? If Xun Gongda is allowed to step into Jizhou half a step, I Guo Tu will kill himself on the spot. ”

"If you think you have refuted Wen Chou, you can see no one in your eyes, Xun Youruo, you seek death by yourself, don't blame the wall for falling down and everyone pushing it."

Xu You, Guo Tu, Feng Ji, Judge and other ministers all cast extremely unfriendly eyes at Xun Chen.

Xun Chen didn't know it at this time, and he already thought that after Xun You came to Zhuocheng to become a scholar, he would be able to make a bold selection of talents.

"Brother, Chen, it won't be worse than you." In Xun Chen's mind, a conversation with Xun Yu in the past appeared.

Xun Yu went to vote for Cao Cao, which made Xun Chen very embarrassed under Yuan Shao's account for a while.

Especially after Cao Cao openly chose to support Liu Xie, Xun Chen's position was even more embarrassing.

Therefore, this time, Xun Chen made up his mind to persuade Xun Yu to enter Zhuocheng!

Changan.

Liu Xie got Liu Bei's recital.

Seeing that Liu Bei also proposed to move the capital, Liu Xie's brows suddenly frowned.

Previously, when Cao Cao proposed to move the capital, he was opposed by Lü Bu, Zhang Miao and Chen Gong, and most of the ministers and officials were unwilling to travel long distances to move the capital to Luoyang.

Luoyang was burned down, hundreds of miles are uninhabited, and it is naturally better to stay in Chang'an than to move the capital back to Luoyang.

So Liu Xie also temporarily abandoned the idea of moving the capital.

And now, Liu Bei has also written to move the capital, and the reason also makes it difficult for Liu Xie to choose.

One reason is that Guanzhong is withered and difficult to last long, and the roads are rugged, and it is difficult to reach the tribute from the states.

Another reason is that the rivalry between Yuan Shao and Gongsun Zan is coming to an end, and if Yuan Shao goes south, it will be difficult for Liu Xie, who is far away in Chang'an, to order the soldiers of the six states to fight against Yuan Shao.

Liu Xie, who was undecided, once again convened the ministers to discuss the relocation of the capital.

"Move the capital again?"

Lu Bu, Zhang Miao, and Chen Gong frowned.

Cao Cao's proposal to move the capital last time was already a headache for the three of them.

Fortunately, most of the ministers and officials did not want to return to Luoyang, so that Cao Cao's proposal to move the capital was not resolved.

As a result, now, Liu Bei also proposed to move the capital!

"It must be that Cao Cao had communicated with Liu Bei before, so Cao Cao and Liu Bei proposed to move the capital one after another." Chen Gong whispered, and quickly guessed the reason.

Zhang Miao also said in a low voice: "Qingzhou is remote, and it is difficult to take care of the affairs of the DPRK and China. If he moved the capital back to Luoyang, Liu Bei could ride into Luoyang to meet the Son of Heaven. ”

"Liu Bei is already in charge of Sanzhou, if we meet the Son of Heaven again, you and I will not be able to maintain our status."

"The capital must not be moved!"

After secretly deliberating for a moment, Zhang Miao loudly dissuaded: "Your Majesty, now that Guanzhong has been decided, it is the time to treat the people well. If the capital is moved to Luoyang at this time, it will cost the people and money, and it will definitely provoke the resentment of Sergeant Guan. ”

"Your Majesty is a benevolent and virtuous king, how can you not put the people first?"

"The previous Yuzhou Mu Cao Cao wrote to move the capital, and the ministers have already refuted it on the basis of reason, and today Qingzhou Mu Liu Bei said that he would move the capital again, so he didn't have to pay attention to it."

"Isn't it true that Your Majesty doesn't move the capital, can't you order the soldiers of the six states to fight against Yuan Shao?"

As soon as Zhang Miao opened his mouth, there were successive ministers who dissuaded Liu Xie from moving the capital, and the reasons for the dissuasion were almost the same, almost all of them were labor and money.

However, there are also ministers who do not have a high status in the DPRK and China, and strongly support the relocation of the capital.

These ministers did not really agree to move the capital, but if Liu Xie decided to move the capital, the status of these people would rise.

Suddenly.

Dasi Nong Zhou Zhong came out: "Your Majesty, the minister has something important to do!" ”

Liu Xie was a little troubled by the quarrel of the ministers because of the relocation of the capital, and hurriedly asked, "What is the important matter of Dasi Nong?" ”

Zhou Zhong's tone was a little worried: "Your Majesty, this year has been in May since the first month, and it rarely rains in Guanzhong. ”

"The minister made a special trip to check the files of Guanzhong in the past five years, and found that in the land of Guanzhong, the rainy days are decreasing every year."

"Chen is worried that there may be a big drought in Guanzhong this year!"

"The minister thinks that the matter of moving the capital is imminent, and moving the capital one day earlier can also allow the six states to transport money and grain to Luoyang to help the people."

Liu Xie was taken aback: "The drought in Guanzhong? How is this possible? Da Si Nong, can you find out? ”

Zhang Miao, Chen Gong and others were also shocked.

"Do you know what you're talking about, Dasinon? In front of the Son of Heaven, how can he be alarmist? Zhang Miao was shocked in his heart and couldn't help but drink.

If there is really a drought in Guanzhong, Zhang Miao's plan to study in Guanzhong for three years will be in vain.

Zhou Zhong was neither humble nor arrogant, and was not moved by Zhang Miao's reprimand, but said frankly: "The dossier is recorded like this. This year's rainy days are already the lowest in nearly five years. ”

"If Lord Situ had visited the fields, he should have been able to see that the rivers in many places in Guanzhong had dried up."

"The people will irrigate their crops, and they will have to fetch water from far away."

Liu Xie said movingly: "If there is really a big drought, it will be difficult for the crops in the fields to be harvested." Could it be that I have just been in power, and this newly changed era name is about to encounter a great drought? ”

Hearing this, Zhang Miao moved, and proposed: "Your Majesty, you can set up an altar to pray to heaven and earth, and pray for rain on the stage, so as to show Your Majesty's benevolence and love for the people." ”

Zhou Zhong's eyes suddenly became complicated.

Since ancient times, praying for rain has never really succeeded.

Zhang Miao is not a corrupt Confucian, how can he not understand?

But on the contrary, Zhang Miao persuaded Liu Xie to pray for rain?

"Zhang Mengbei is too selfish, and the country is not safe." Zhou Zhong sighed secretly.

This group of ministers in the court, who have survived the chaos of Dong Zhuo and Li Dao, have not died, and they are all masters of playing power and scheming.

Zhang Miao's thoughts, Zhou Zhong saw through it at a glance.

Zhou Zhong didn't speak again, avoiding causing trouble.

In terms of self-preservation, this group of ministers of Chang'an is also excellent.

Liu Xie wanted to pray for rain, and the proposal to move the capital was naturally shelved again.

However, although Liu Xie was the Son of Heaven, God did not respond to Liu Xie's prayer because of this.

As the weather became hotter and hotter, there were more and more dry rivers in Guanzhong, and Liu Xie's prayer for rain panicked.

The wealthy families in Guanzhong also sensed the signs of drought and began to hoard and vigorously raise grain prices.

All of a sudden, the price of food in Guanzhong is increasing with terrifying numbers every day!

Xu County.

Xun Yu, who has been paying attention to the situation in Guanzhong, also got the news that Liu Xie prayed for rain and the soaring grain prices in Guanzhong.

"There are already signs of drought in Guanzhong, and I plan to do it!" Xun Yu's eyes were more excited.

After Confucius, Confucianism was divided into eight schools.

Mencius and Xunzi each belonged to one faction.

Mencius was the first king, and he put forward the idea that the people are noble and the king is light, and the benevolent are invincible, which has many ideal and romantic meanings.

Xun Ziming is the king, recounting the rites and music, advocating equal emphasis on etiquette and law, and the king and tyrant, and focusing more on realism.

Xun Yu, as the most orthodox ideological successor of the Xun clan, also advocated etiquette and hegemony, focusing more on the interests of the scholars and despising the interests of the people.

For Xun Yu, there was a great drought in Guanzhong, and Liu Xie would inevitably move the capital.

And the idea of the emperor and Yingchuan scholars ruling the world together can be realized.

As for whether the people of Guanzhong will be affected by the drought, it is not in Xun Yu's imagination.

Human nature is evil, and those who have not been educated in etiquette can only be regarded as evil people in Xun Yu's eyes.

In other words, only a scholar who has been educated in etiquette can be called a good person!

The world is in turmoil, and to save people, it is natural to save the good rather than the evil.

Therefore, Xun Yu would not object to Cao Cao's slaughter of the city, nor would he object to Cao Cao's treatment of the people of Tuntian as private slaves.

The different positions of the classes naturally lead to different attitudes towards the people and the people.

Immediately.

Xun Yu found Cao Cao: "Duke Ming, Yuan often sent a letter: Liu Bei wrote to ask the Son of Heaven to move the capital, but was refuted by Zhang Miao and other ministers. There are signs of drought in Chang'an, and grain prices have skyrocketed, and now it has reached 200,000 yuan per grain and 100,000 yuan per bean wheat! ”

Cao Cao was taken aback: "200,000 yuan for a hugu and 100,000 yuan for a bean wheat?" Why don't you grab it? ”

The market price of grain in a fruitful year is more than 200 yuan, and when there is a shortage of grain, it is only more than 3,000 yuan, and most of the time it will not exceed 2,000 yuan.

As a result, now the price of 200,000 yuan of grain rice has directly increased dozens of times.

What's the difference between this and grabbing money?

But soon, Cao Cao reacted, and his tone was happy: "The drought in Guanzhong has forced Your Majesty to move the capital." Wen Ruo's meaning is to let me write again and ask the Son of Heaven to move the capital? ”

Xun Yu nodded: "Ming Gong is wise, Yu is exactly what he means!" ”

"The Duke of Ming can send people to Guanzhong to spread nursery rhymes, bluntly saying, 'Dong thief burns Luo, heaven punishes Chang'an', 'The land of Yingchuan Longxing, there will be the king of Zhongxing!' ”

The situation is changing, and Xun Yu's plan is also changing.

Originally, Xun Yu agreed with Guo Jia's idea and asked the Son of Heaven to move the capital to Luoyang.

Now, the drought in Guanzhong is a godsend.

Dong Zhuo's burning of Luoyang has violated the way of heaven; God punished Chang'an because Dong Zhuo moved the capital to Chang'an.

And Yingchuan is the land of Longxing, as long as Liu Xie comes, he can become the king of Zhongxing.

Even if Zhang Miao and Chen Gong could see the purpose of the rumors, they couldn't stop Xun Yu's plan!

Providence is hard to disobey!

The drought in Guanzhong did not stop, and Zhang Miao and Chen Gong could not break Xun Yu's plan.

Cao Cao stroked his palms and laughed: "Meng Zhuo is at a loss!" If you are in the middle of the Guan'an, you will not be able to achieve a big thing. This day, let me Cao Mengde assist! ”

Thinking of Zhang Miao being anxious in Guanzhong, Cao Cao's mood instantly became happy.

Since Zhang Miao recommended Zang Hong to be the assassin of Yanzhou, Cao Cao had a problem with Zhang Miao in his heart.

Later, because Zhang Miao preemptively welcomed the Son of Heaven, Cao Cao couldn't let go of Zhang Miao.

Now that Zhang Miao is deflated, Cao Cao only feels that his internal organs are extremely happy.
