Han Dao world

Chapter 34 Counterattack
Liu Xie was taken aback.Guan Yu has been on the run for more than ten years?

Thinking about it carefully, it seems to be right.Guan Yu defected to Liu Bei before the Yellow Turban Uprising, and eleven years had passed since the Yellow Turban Uprising.

He immediately realized another problem: Xu Huang actually remembered the murder and escape case more than ten years ago?
"How many years have you been an official in the county?"

"More than five years."

"Then do you still remember the murder case more than ten years ago?"

"I have read all the Yuanshu (judgments) in the county."

Liu Xie involuntarily turned to look at Xu Huang. "all?"

"All." Xu Huang nodded calmly. "The situation in Hedong is complicated. Many people will hide after committing crimes, and come out to commit crimes after a while. Knowing the previous cases, it is possible to catch fugitives who commit crimes again."

"What do you mean by the complicated situation in Hedong? The terrain is complicated, or the people's sentiments are complicated?"

"All of them." Xu Huang said lightly and then closed his mouth, completely not interested in taking advantage of the situation to speak.

Liu Xie became more and more curious.

He wanted to know about the situation in Hedong. Xu Huang had been an official in the Governor's Mansion of Hedong for many years and was familiar with the situation.

What made him even more curious was that Xu Huang didn't want to say more when he had a chance to express himself. He didn't know whether it was because of his personality, or the situation in Hedong was too complicated to explain clearly in a few words, or he felt that he The emperor is also unfair, so it is better not to say it.

"Xuzhou Mu Liu Bei has a general named Guan Yu, who is said to be from Hedong. He is nine feet tall and has a beautiful beard, which is rare in the world."

Xu Huang nodded. "That should be him."

"If you play against him, what are your chances of winning?"

Xu Huang turned his head to look at Liu Xie with a hint of surprise in his eyes.Liu Xie also looked at him with a smile on his face.

The moment the four eyes met, Xu Huang's heart moved slightly, then he withdrew his gaze, bowed his head and pondered for a moment. "If the end game is right, and the martial arts are compared, the minister is not his opponent."

"Why do you know?" Liu Xie was a little surprised.According to historical records, Xu Huang confronted Guan Yu head-on.

"The strength of the body is not bad, but the strength of the minister is not as good as that of a person."

"Invincible, can you outsmart it?"

Xu Huang hesitated again for a moment. "It's up to me to be invincible, but it's up to the enemy to be victorious. Whether he can outsmart him depends on whether he has an opportunity to take advantage of."

Liu Xie laughed and said nothing.

He already knew the pros and cons of Xu Huang and Guan Yu.

In terms of personal martial arts, Xu Huang may not be as good as Guan Yu.The tie in the Battle of Fancheng was due to chance, and it was also because Guan Yu was injured first.Under normal circumstances, Guan Yu has a better chance of winning.

But in terms of potential as a famous general, Xu Huang is obviously better than Guan Yu.

Among other things, this modesty and prudence are not comparable to Guan Yu.

-

Knowing that the emperor was coming, Duan Yan went out of the city to greet him in person.

Jia Xu was also in the welcoming team.Standing behind Duan Yan, he quietly looked at the slowly approaching emperor, a strange look flashed in his eyes.

Yang Biao was right. Although the facial features of the Son of Heaven in front of him had not changed, his temperament had changed significantly.

Especially those eyes, which have a depth and vicissitudes that people of the same age cannot match. Compared with the few servants and servants standing around him who are in their forties, they are not calm enough, let alone Yang Xiu who has just been weak.

Perhaps the big man really has an unfinished destiny, so that a vision descended from the sky to show the world.

Just as Dong Zhuo made a mistake and did something that Emperor Xiaoling wanted to do but failed.

The emperor's simple ceremonial guard stopped, Duan Yan immediately lifted the hem of his clothes, hurried to the emperor's horse with small steps, and bowed to salute.

"General Ning Ji, Chen Yao, pay my respects to Your Majesty."

"Thanks for your hard work, General." Liu Xie took the reins of the horse, glanced over Duan Yan, and paused for a moment on Jia Xu's face, the corners of his mouth were raised slightly, and he nodded in greeting.

Jia Xu smiled knowingly, stepped forward and cupped her hands. "Chenxu, pay homage to Your Majesty."

Xu Huang got off his horse, walked up to Liu Xie's horse, and was about to rein in the horse, but was stopped by Duan Yan.

Duan Yao paid homage again: "Your Majesty, I take the liberty to hold the bridle for Your Majesty."

Liu Xie was overjoyed in his heart, but he declined and said: "How can you do such a despicable thing for the dry city of the general country? No, no."

Duan Yan insisted: "The minister is dull. He has neither the merit of escort nor the ability to attack the city and pull out the stronghold. I am very grateful, and I am willing to hold the bridle for His Majesty, as a token of my heart."

Liu Xie understood.

Duan Yan deliberately pretended to be pitiful, and stabbed Yang Ding in the back by the way.

It's an ancestral skill for Liangzhou people to engage in internal strife, so it's no wonder that it can't be a big deal.It was really wise for Huangfusong to reject Yan Zhong's suggestion, but the wiser Jia Xu didn't think in this direction at all.

He knows the nature of Liangzhou people too well.

Liu Xie agreed, and Duan Yao took the bridle and got off the horse.He took Duan Yao's hand and patted it lightly. "Emperor Xiaohuan's posthumous posthumous title is inseparable from his meritorious service in the Sanming campaign in Liangzhou. Taiwei Duan pacified the Western Qiang and destroyed the Eastern Qiang. The battle must be won, the attack must be conquered, and it stirs people's hearts. Every time I think about it, I can't help being fascinated. Now the general town Huayin cares for the common people and provides food and clothing for the imperial court when they are in dire straits, they can be called a loyal family.”

Duan Yao was delighted. "To get His Majesty's words, the Wuwei Duan family's lintel is honored."

Jia Xu's expression moved slightly.

Liu Xie sighed. "It's a pity that the faction between the court and the middle party even involved Duan Taiwei, which is very sad. Although I am not sensitive, I would like to repay the general's kindness so that the general will not have any worries about his death."

Duan Yan was overjoyed, bowed and bowed again, tears streaming down his face.

Jia Xu couldn't help being moved, and the corner of his mouth twitched inadvertently.

Liu Xie turned to Taiwei Yang Biao and sighed: "Mr. Yang, if Taiwei Duan is here, today's chaos may be avoided?"

Yang Biao looked distressed.

He is the current Taiwei, the emperor's words are equivalent to saying that he is not as good as Duan Jiong, and the corpse is a vegetarian.

This is revenge.The emperor was dissatisfied with his coercion and deliberately embarrassed him in public.

But he had to admit that what the emperor said was not unreasonable, as Duan Jiong was one of the three bright men of Liangzhou, he was famous and could stop children from crying, even the ferocious Xiliang generals would not dare to be disrespectful.

Dong Zhuo himself was Duan Jiong's Sima back then.

At this moment, in order to win over Duan Yan, and even Jia Xu, Duan Jiong is the most suitable reason for the emperor to show his favor to the people of Liangzhou.

For the sake of the overall situation, I can only endure it.

"Your Majesty's words are very true. I am ashamed of your Majesty. Please resign as a Taiwei and wait for a sage."

Liu Xie glanced at Yang Biao.The old fox wants to take the opportunity to resign again, which is a good idea.

"Mr. Yang, don't blame yourself too much. This is not your responsibility alone. Since Zhongxing, how many people have deserved their names like Duan Taiwei? Emperor Xiaowu respected Confucianism, and Emperor Guangwu rewarded integrity, but this has created such a situation , It is a pity. I would like to change the evil, and I hope the Taiwei will help me."

Looking at Liu Xie with a sincere expression, Yang Biao's heart tightened.

Son of Heaven, this is not a momentary revenge, but a long-planned counterattack.

According to what he meant, he wanted to uproot the policy of exclusive respect for Confucianism since Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty?
