Han Dao world

Chapter 167 Undercurrent
Liu Xie took off his clothes and lay on the bed, but he was still thinking about what Pei Qian said.

Combining the memories of the two lifetimes and Pei Qian's explanation, his confidence in Liu Biao's tribute has increased by three points.

With Jingzhou's tribute, the urgent need can be solved.

Jia Xu's proposal to place Zhang Ji in Nanyang was indeed a good move.

If Zhang Ji gained a firm foothold in Nanyang, the imperial court would have a foothold, and Zhang Ji would have a foundation for standing, and the people of Xiliang would also be able to make their voices heard in the imperial court.

Three birds with one stone.

What is the big picture?This is the big picture.

What is a top strategist?This is a first-class strategist.

Facing this kind of awesome person, Liu Xie can only praise him for being awesome in two lifetimes.

Recruiting Jia Xu under his command is more meaningful than defeating Li Jue.

The more Liu Xie thought about it, the more excited he became, and he couldn't sleep for a while.

"Your Majesty." Fu Shou murmured, rolled over, opened his arms, and hugged Liu Xie.

Liu Xie turned to look at Fushou.In the darkness, he couldn't see anything, but he could smell the fragrance of Fushou's body.

That kind of tempting body fragrance with body temperature and soft sweetness.

Liu Xie took a deep breath, got into the quilt, and hugged Fushou's small body in his arms.

Fu Shou woke up in a daze from sleep, put his arms around Liu Xie's neck, tilted his head back, and let out a long moan from deep in his throat.

"His Majesty--"

-

Early the next morning, just after breakfast, Liu Xie received an urgent report from General Zuo Yang Feng.

When the tribute from Jingzhou Mu Liubiao arrived at Hongnong, Yang Feng begged to intercept some supplies to support the soldiers.

Yang Feng is almost out of food.

Liu Xie immediately summoned Tian Fen from the Shaofu, and asked him to calculate how much Yang Feng's military rewards were missing, and whether they could be reissued to him in one go.

Before Liu Xie finished speaking, Tian Fen shook her head again and again.

It is not yet known how much tribute Liu Biao sent, how much was money, how much was goods, and how much of it was grain.If the quantity is not enough, all Yang Feng will be intercepted. What do you eat, Your Majesty, what do the ministers eat, and what do the tens of thousands of soldiers and family members here eat?
Facing Tian Fen's series of rhetorical questions, Liu Xie also scratched his head.

Poor and lowly couples mourn everything, and the emperor is no exception.

Without money or food, life is miserable.

I can no longer stay in Huayin, I must go to a place that can solve the problem of eating.

Liu Xie then asked Tian Fen where else was there food besides Jingzhou and Huangbaicheng.

Tian Fen blurted out. "Hanoi, Taiyuan." Then he said: "Taiyuan is the first choice."

"Why?"

"There is food in Hanoi, but the transportation is inconvenient. Water transportation goes up against the water and is easy to overturn. Land transportation has dangerous roads, and it is difficult for horses and horses to travel. It may only be carried by people on their shoulders, which consumes a lot of energy and has little transportation capacity. Taiyuan can use the Fen River, Going down the water, the consumption is less and the capacity is sufficient. But..."

Liu Xie looked at the hesitant Tian Fen. "But what?"

Tian Fen swallowed a mouthful of saliva. "The Huns gathered in Pingyang, east of the river. The food in Taiyuan may be robbed by the Huns. I heard that the prefect of Taiyuan heard that His Majesty was in Huayin. He sent envoys to contribute. He was robbed and killed as soon as he entered Hedong. Eighty-nine times it was done by the Huns."

"Fuck your mother!" Liu Xie blurted out a curse word.

The ugly Huns dare to rob Lao Tzu's wealth?

Tian Fen suddenly changed color.

Even if he had never heard this slander, he knew it was not a good word just by looking at Liu Xie's expression.

"Your Majesty, as the Son of Heaven, should be cautious in words and deeds, and not imitate the vulgar language of the rogues in your house."

"Okay, let me say something more elegant." Liu Xie stared at Tian Fen, and shouted, "You go to Hongnong to inspect and accept Jingzhou's tribute first, and then go to Pingyang to proclaim the imperial edict. Pingyang is the hometown of Wei Huo, how can the Xiongnu live there. If he doesn't act on his own, I will personally lead the elite and slaughter his family."

Tian Fen secretly regretted it.

Talking too fast for a while, not to mention causing a lot of trouble for nothing, and even giving the emperor an excuse to go to Hedong.

-

Zhao Wen and Zhang Xi were in the middle, and Shi Sun Rui and others sat on both sides. Under the flickering light, their faces flickered and darkened, with different expressions.

Tian Fen looked like a child who had committed a crime, her face turned red and then pale, feeling embarrassed.

"My lords, this is the end of the matter, and it's useless to say more." Zhao Wen coughed, and said quietly: "Your Majesty's intention to go to the east of the river has been decided, so let's just leave it at that. Guanzhong is desolate, and it will be difficult to recover within a year or two. It is indeed not suitable for Li Dynasty."

Wei Jie bowed slightly. "According to Situ's opinion, who should appease Guanzhong?"

Zhao Wen exchanged glances with Zhang Xi who was beside him.

Zhang Xi said: "Based on theories and stories, it is appropriate for the Taiwei to lead the troops to guard Guanzhong. But now that the Taiwei is in Hedong and he doesn't know about military affairs, it is difficult to make it happen. The northern and southern armies are responsible for guarding the emperor, and it is not appropriate to leave them lightly. It is better to choose another good general. , worshiped as Huya and Fufeng Duwei, to town Guanzhong."

The corner of Shi Sun Rui's mouth curled slightly.

Zhang Xi's theory seems fair, but it is actually well-intentioned.

First of all, he was excluded because he did not have the name of Taiwei, and Wei Jie and Song Guo were excluded because the northern and southern armies had the duty to protect the emperor.

The plan of several Guanzhong people to return to Guanzhong was blocked before they could get out.

"Since the Taiwei is in Hedong, it's better for Sikong to control Guanzhong." Wei Jie said, "Leave Situ to assist the emperor, and the three lords will perform their duties."

Zhang Xi glared at Wei Jie. "Wei Bojun, I, this student, am not as good at using soldiers as you people from Guanzhong, so I can't afford such a heavy responsibility."

"What Sikong said, the scope is too broad." Huben Zhonglang, Song Guo, stood up and confronted Zhang Xi. "It is recognized by the world that the prime minister in the east of the Guandong and the general in the west of the Kansai are recognized by the world. It is not that I, the people of Guanzhong, boast of their abilities. Why should Sikong speak with sarcasm?"

Originally, in Shi Sun Rui's plan, he was to be recommended to return to Guanzhong.Zhang Xi clearly objected, he was very uncomfortable.

Zhang Xi also lowered his face, and was about to speak out, when Zhao Wen coughed. "Gentlemen, now half of the generals in the army are from Liangzhou, and you are still fighting for Kanto and Kanxi, and you are not afraid of being laughed at."

Zhang Xi and Song Guo closed their mouths angrily.

"Your Majesty is right. Hedong has been a place of Chinese clothing since three generations, and cannot be occupied by the Huns. It's just that these Huns were originally Han vassals. Now that the Huns are in civil strife, they have been expelled from the tribe. In desperation, they asked the court Ask for help. The imperial court can’t uphold justice, it’s already helpless. Expel them, or even slaughter their clan, it’s not in line with the righteousness to appease the barbarians.”

Zhao Wen sighed. "My lords, who can achieve the best of both worlds, relieve your majesty's anger, and calm the hearts of the Huns? The court is currently in a difficult situation, and it is definitely not the best policy to start a war lightly."

Shi Sun Rui turned his head to look at Shang Shuling Pei Mao who had been silent all this time. "Since we are talking about the things in Hedong, how can we not listen to the opinions of the people in Hedong. Juguang, what's your opinion?"

Zhao Wen smiled wryly.

There is something in Shi Sunrui's words.

When talking about the affairs of Hedong, we must listen to the opinions of the people in Hedong.When talking about matters in Guanzhong, it is natural to listen to the opinions of the people in Guanzhong.

But he could only pretend not to understand.

At this moment, you can listen to people from Hedong talking about things in Hedong, but you can't let people from Guanzhong take charge of Guanzhong affairs.

How can the strength of the people from Hedong be compared with the people from Guanzhong.

People in Kanto can accept the emperor to go to Hedong, but they cannot accept the emperor to return to Guanzhong.

These are two different things at all.
