Chapter 42 Comments

Poems and songs were considered by scholars in the Han Dynasty to be a trail after all. After expressing their aspirations, they immediately put them aside, and several people quickly turned the topic to the general trend of the world.

Du Xi, Huan Yi and Zhuge Liang successively expressed their concerns about the situation in which Zi was trapped in Chang'an today, and was manipulated like a puppet by Li Jue and Guo Si. I am also very worried about the safety of the emperor.

After all, Liangzhou warriors like Li Jue and Guo Si, who were adept at the borderlands and accustomed to the barbarian winds, never paid much attention to etiquette and lacked reverence for the Son of Heaven.

At the beginning of this year, infighting broke out among the generals in Liangzhou, which even spread to the emperor. Li Jue blatantly kidnapped the emperor and entered the army camp. The wolf's ambitions were clearly revealed. Who is sure that they will not do more excessive things in the future.

Only Liu Jing looked as usual and was not worried about it. Du Xi was very surprised when he saw this, and asked, "I wonder what Zhongda thinks?"

Liu Jingjiu's energy surged up, and he couldn't help but feel a little suffocated. He tried to sort out his thoughts and said:

"Last year in the great wilderness in Guanzhong, the price of grain was soaring, and a hu rice was worth 50 yuan, which led to human tragedies like 'cannibalism'. However, Li Jue and Guo Si ignored the people's life and death, and robbed the emperor. The money for disaster relief. Then because of the lack of salary and food in the army, he allowed the Qianghu and soldiers under his command to plunder the people.

The residents of Guanzhong and the people who were forcibly relocated from Luoyang, totaling no less than one million people, fled to Yizhou, Jingzhou and other places in order not to starve to death.As a result, since the beginning of this year, ten rooms in Guanzhong are empty, and the fields are barren, which has caused even greater disasters. "

People like Du Xi, Liu Yu, and Zhuge Liang who fled from the north could not help but think of the tragic situation in their hometown, and they all felt empathy and sympathy.

Liu Jing filled himself a glass of wine and continued: "Li Jue and Guo Si, Bian Bian are stupid and short-sighted. Back then, Dong Zhuo was killed by Situ Wang Yun and Lv Bu, and they were armed with heavy troops. They actually wanted to disband the army and escaped. Returning to their hometown in Liangzhou, Jia Xu, a non-Wuwei native, was a stumbling block, enticing him and others to counterattack Chang'an, and a pavilion chief could capture and kill them.

Now that Guanzhong is deserted, Li Jue and Guo Si are almost unable to maintain their own subordinates. The emperor and the people of the Baiguan Palace are a huge burden for them. If someone is a lobbyist at this time, they will not experience Will not let the emperor go east. "

After listening to Liu Jing's analysis of the situation in Guanzhong, several people suddenly felt a sense of enlightenment.

Zhuge Liang said with an excited expression: "If it can really be as Zhong Da said, the emperor will have the opportunity to escape from Chang'an and get rid of the control of Li Jue and Guo Si, and the revival of the Han Dynasty will no longer be just an empty talk."

Du Xi was not too optimistic, shook his head and said, "I'm afraid things won't go so smoothly. No matter how stupid Li Jue and Guo Si are, they should know the role of the emperor."

Without the righteous name of the Son of Heaven, whether it is Han Sui and Ma Teng in Liangzhou, or the famous, tyrannical, military generals in Guanzhong, or even thieves and Qiang Hu, who would care about them?

At that time, it is still unknown whether Li Jue and Guo Si will survive the siege of many forces, let alone gain a foothold in Guanzhong.

And history has proved that Li Jue and Guo Si are so stupid.

Liu Jing drank the wine in the cup and sighed: "It is easy for the emperor to return to Luoyang, but it is difficult to revive the Han Dynasty! Let's look at today's Kanto princes, can there be a person who is committed to the society and is loyal to the country?"

Liu Jing's words caused everyone in the room to fall silent.

Liu Jing added: "Liu Biao is a clan member of the Han family and a famous person at home and abroad. He is the most suitable person to assist the emperor. Even if he can't be Duke of Zhou, he can follow Duke Huan of Qi and Duke Wen of Jin and achieve a hegemony. It is remarkable that since he entered Jingzhou From words and deeds, you can know that his people have the heart to separate Jing and Chu, but have no will to pacify the world, and this is a self-defense thief."

Du Xi also once commented that Liu Biao was a "mediocre person", but he hated the other party's ability to turn the tide, but because of his own selfish desires, he refused to work hard for Wang Chang'an and save the country. Liu Jing was different. He directly scolded the other party. Self-defense thief.

"Yuan Shaohu is based in Hebei, and he has a lot of fine grain and food, but his people are tolerant of external and internal jealousy, and they are scheming and indecisive. When today's son was established by Dong Zhuo, Yuan Shao once slandered the emperor's son as not the son of Lingdi, and intended to establish another Youzhou Shepherd Liu Yu. Liu Bo'an became the emperor and fought against Dong Zhuo in court. Although this matter was finally resolved, it was known to the whole world, and if the emperor returned east, he would definitely turn a blind eye."

"Yuan Shu has always respected the Son of Heaven, but he was arrogant and extravagant by nature, with great ambition and sparse talent. The Book of Changes said: 'The virtue is weak and the position is respected, the wisdom is small and the conspiracy is big, it is not enough.' It is said that Yuan Shu is a person who occupies Huainan. The anointed land will only make him suffer the disaster sooner."

Liu Jing took advantage of the wine and spoke without restraint, and commented on Liu Biao, Yuan Shao, and Yuan Shu respectively, and there were many derogatory meanings in his words.

Du Xi, Huan Yi, Liu Yu, and Zhuge Liang couldn't help but look at each other and were speechless for a long time.

You must know that Liu Biao, Yuan Shao, and Yuan Shu are all feudal vassals and world-renowned heroes. Dong Zhuo said at the time: "But if you kill two Yuan, Liu Biao, and Sun Jian, the world will be self-sufficient."

Nowadays, the three princes in Kanto are the most powerful, but Liu Jing's words mean that he doesn't look down on one of the three.

Liu Jing's meaning was still unfinished, and he continued: "Liu Yao, the shepherd of Yangzhou, and Liu Zhang, the shepherd of Yizhou, have no special talents, and the reason why they can become one of the vassals is because of the Han family's relatives and respected families. , not the director of his peers.”

"Lü Bu and Gongsun Zan were in between the two formations. They were inexorable, and they were the best in the world. However, after all, they were the heroes of every man. They might be able to show their prestige for a while, but they were doomed to fail."

"Han Sui and Ma Teng, who dominate Xizhou and command the Qiang and Hu men, have been domineering for years, and the imperial court cannot control them. However, this generation has no long-term strategy, and only cares about peace and happiness in front of them. It is not enough to discuss."

Counting Li Jue and Guo Si mentioned earlier, Liu Jing commented on the eleven princes in the world in one breath. As for Zhang Yang, Zhang Lu, Gongsun Du, etc., either weak or remote, he directly ignored them.

Only Cao, Liu, and Sun did not comment. They were also the people he valued most in his heart. Cao Cao was currently fighting with Lu Bu in Yanzhou. Liu Bei had just gained a firm foothold in Xuzhou.

Who would have thought that these three people would become the protagonists of this era, the founders of the Three Kingdoms of Wei, Shu, and Wu?

Du Xixin said that Zhongda was really drunk, and regarded the world's heroes as nothing.

Zhuge Liang suddenly asked, "Why didn't Zhongda mention Liu Xuande and Cao Cao?"

Both of them are closely related to Zhuge Liang. The former is now replacing Tao Qian and serves as the state shepherd in his hometown of Xuzhou, while the latter is the culprit who made him leave his hometown.

Du Xi, Huan Yi, and Liu Wei nodded one after another. Liu Bei and Cao Cao were also the rulers of a state. When talking about the princes of the world, they could not get around them no matter what.

"..." Liu Jing raised his glass and was speechless.
