Chapter 529 The Edict

Chapter 529 The Edict
Sheng Kuang was originally from Yangzhou, and he once served as the head of the Yangzhou Governor's Department in Hefei. Others may not know this envoy of the emperor, but he recognized it at a glance. This person is none other than Liu Ye, a famous scholar from Jiujiang.

Liu Ye is not only famous for his intelligence, but also for his bravery. At the age of 13, according to his mother's dying order, he broke into the house with a knife and killed the slaves with his hands. Zheng Bao, the hero of Huainan, and the people of Huainan were all shocked.

Liu Jing was totally unprepared against Liu Ye, so he stepped forward rashly. If Liu Ye got into trouble, the left and right would be too late to save him, and the consequences would be disastrous.

Although Sheng Kuang believed that with Liu Ye's ingenuity, he should not have done such an unwise act in full view, but the old saying goes: "A gentleman does not stand under a dangerous wall."

At that time, the famous Zhongxing generals Cen Peng and Laishe of this dynasty, Pingjingzhou, Dinglongyou, had no future, and their power shocked the world, but when they attacked Bashu, they were negligent and unprepared, neglected to protect them, and died at the hands of assassins. Can't prevent?
"General, this person is Liu Ziyang from Jiujiang!"

Sheng Kuang was afraid that Liu Jing would not understand him, so he revealed Liu Ye's background in a few words.

Liu Jing suddenly realized that it was no wonder that Sheng Kuang was so nervous. Facing such a ruthless character who appeared to be harmless to humans and animals on the surface, but was actually amazing in martial arts, although Liu Jing seldom practiced fencing and practiced diligently for many years, he knew that On the other side, but definitely not its opponent.

Then Liu Jing couldn't help feeling a little emotional. Who would have thought that this brave and wise genius in front of him, who was a branch of the Han Dynasty in history, was among the confidants of Cao Wei, and was finally accused and killed by others because of his flattery and flattery? Going mad and worrying about death is really embarrassing.

Liu Jing didn't say anything yet, but Yu Zheng, who was in charge of protecting his safety, was very nervous, and hurriedly called the left and right armored guards forward, trying to remove the sword on Liu Ye's waist.

Seeing the armored guard approaching with strides, Liu Ye couldn't help but change his face. He pressed his sword and glared at him, and shouted loudly: "I am the envoy of the Son of Heaven, and I am here on behalf of the country. How dare you untie my sword?!"

Frightened by Liu Ye's words, several armored guards stopped moving forward, at a loss for what to do.

Liu Jing said at this time: "Don't be rude to the angel, don't retreat quickly." Hearing this, the armor guard hurriedly retreated as if he had received an amnesty.

Then Liu Jing said to Liu Ye with a sincere face: "The soldiers are all wild and vulgar people, and they don't know how to behave. Don't blame the angels."

Liu Ye's face paled slightly, he let go of the hilt of his sword, and said with a serious face: "Ye is in the capital, and I heard that General Annan is far away in the rivers and lakes, but he is worried about the country, Zhi Kuang's royal family, and always treats himself with Kang Bo." Speaking of this , Liu Ye changed the subject and said: "Since General Annan intends to follow Kangbo's example and become the vassal of the country, he must not only restrain himself and return to the courtesy, but also be strict with the law, so that in the future, the generals of Jingchu will only know that there is General Annan, but not that there is one." nation."

Liu Jing's smile suddenly froze on his face.

As a minister, the king worries about the labor of the minister, and the king humiliates the minister to death.Ma Zhou was furious, stared and shouted: "General, he destroyed Liu Biao in the north and Zhang Jin in the south, and stabilized Jing and Jiao prefectures for the country. His meritorious deeds are known to the world. He is the pillar of the country and can stand shoulder to shoulder with Cao Sikong. How could it be you?" A little scholar can criticize it!"

As soon as Ma Zhou finished speaking, all the generals rushed up and scolded in unison, fearing that they would fall behind.

Seeing that the hall was almost a mess, Liu Jing showed displeasure, and hit the ground with his sword, making a muffled "dong", and all the generals heard it, as if they heard a military order, and all stopped.

Liu Ye remained calm on the surface, but was surprised by Liu Jing's majesty in his heart.

At the same time, Liu Ye also had doubts about Cao Cao's strategy of "first north and then south".

The sons of the Yuan family in Hebei are relatives of flesh and blood, and Xiao Qiang is inside, so it is not a concern.

On the contrary, Liu Jingying is a world-renowned hero, with all the thorns and friends, and now he is peeping at Yangzhou, and he has the ambition to drink horses to China. If such an enemy is not eliminated as soon as possible, it will cause great harm to the country in the future.

Thinking of this, Liu Ye shook his head secretly. Cao Cao was extremely intelligent, a little out of the world, and he was assisted by resourceful people such as Xun Yu, Xun You, Guo Jia, etc. How could he not be aware of Liu Jing's threat.

It’s just that after Yuan Shao’s death, Cao Cao devoted almost all of his resources to attacking Hebei. Now it’s time to harvest. As the saying goes, the arrow is on the string, and he has to attack. Ping Hebei.

"Can I hold Liu Jing back before Duke Cao exterminates all the sons of the Yuan family?"

To be honest, Liu Ye has no confidence in this, and can only do his best and let his destiny be settled.

Liu Ye calmed down, held the edict in his hand, and said: "General Annan Liu Jing accepts the edict."

"The minister Liu Jing accepts the imperial edict." Liu Jing did not walk in front of Liu Ye, but bowed down on the spot, and all the civil and military personnel in the hall bowed down.

Liu Ye read aloud: "The policy said: I only use literature to govern the world, and use military force to fight chaos. Annan General Liu Jing, who has both civil and military skills, is deeply committed to loyalty and filial piety.

There are hundreds of words in the full text of the edict, none of which accuses Liu Jing of being good at initiating military provocations, but exaggerates his achievements. After all, the purpose of the emperor and Cao Cao is to stabilize Liu Jing, not to anger Liu Jing.

At the end of the edict, there was only a superficial mention, saying that Liu Jing, the state committee, took the responsibility of the south, and now the country is using troops to the north. I hope Liu Jing can set an example, stop fighting and fight for the country.

Liu Jing looked solemn and thanked the emperor for his kindness, while Yu Zheng stepped forward to receive the imperial edict on his behalf.

After Liu Jing stood up again, Liu Ye sighed: "The country trusts General Annan so much, which is rare in the world." After a pause, he continued: "I entered the Jiangdong military camp before, and I heard that the general recently sent troops to attack Luling County. The meaning of "Spring and Autumn": "The merit lies in the marshal, and the crime ends first." General Annan sent troops to Yuzhang in the name of crusade against Sun Ben. Now that Sun Ben has been slaughtered, why did General Annan want to rob Luling?"

"You don't know the inside story, so don't listen to the slanderous words of the Wu people." Liu Jing had a secret in mind, and he replied calmly: "This time I am mobilizing rebels to punish injustice, and I only punished Sun Ben. There was no plan to attack Luling, but Sun Fu, the prefect of Luling, didn't distinguish between right and wrong, helped the emperor to abuse, and was in a mess with his brother Sun Ben, and attacked our army later. It was really tolerable and unbearable. Blame Sun Fu."

Liu Jing occupied Yuzhang and Luling, and it was a foregone conclusion. Liu Ye did not dwell on this issue, but asked: "Now that Sun Ben is dead, and General Annan has the two counties of Yuzhang and Luling again, do you want to?" Follow the order of the country, stop the army and return to Jingzhou?"

Liu Jing said with a smile: "If I don't come here, I will plan to attack the Wu army camp in Pengze recently, but since I have brought the letter from Your Majesty and Duke Cao, I will naturally not rush to raise troops again to embarrass Your Majesty and Duke Cao." .”

Liu Ye breathed a sigh of relief when he heard the words, he was really afraid that Liu Jing would ignore him and continue to march.He has only just arrived in Yangzhou, and he has not yet had time to integrate his forces, so he is powerless to interfere with Liu Jing at this time.
