Han Dao world

Chapter 805
The fact that Liu Xie wanted to conquer Jizhou in person aroused fierce debate at the court meeting.

Opposition voices are not small, and there are mainly three types:
One is that the discussion is imminent, and the emperor should not go out lightly.This is a national policy related to the next few decades or even hundreds of years. It is much more important than Jizhou's temporary gains and losses, and it should not be reversed.

The second is that Yuan Shao is about to enter the court, and how to characterize it has not yet been determined.It would be too hasty to go to Jizhou now.If Yuan Shao can be dealt with properly, Jizhou may be settled without a fight.

The third is that Jizhou is strong outside and middle-ranked. Even if it is necessary to conquer, just send a general. The emperor's personal conquest would be a big deal.

After a full discussion, Liu Xie finally convinced the officials.

He also has three reasons.

Discussion is a century-old project, who said that a conclusion must be drawn in the next few months?This matter can be discussed slowly, and even in the future, it can be discussed from time to time. It will be updated every day.

As for Yuan Shao, no matter how he characterizes it, he has already lost control of Jizhou.Even if he does not blame him for the past, it will not have any impact on Jizhou.Do you want the imperial court to agree to the people of Jizhou, to be lenient to the Jizhou network, and not to promote land saving in Jizhou?
Finally, although Jizhou is strong on the outside and capable on the inside, it should not be underestimated.The armies are not subordinate to each other, and only when I personally conquer can the various ministries cooperate with each other tacitly, instead of fighting each other.

The Minister of Public Affairs understood Liu Xie's implication and no longer objected, which was regarded as a consensus.

Liu Xie immediately issued an edict ordering Taiwei Jia Xu to stay in Chang'an and take full charge of the military.

Guang Luxun Ma Teng led Huben, Yulin, Sanqi, and Jiaqi to follow the expedition, and the expanded Yueqi battalion followed the expedition, and the rest of the ministries stayed in the capital.

In this way, the total force of the emperor's expedition was less than [-], and the main force was cavalry.

In order to reduce the burden on counties and counties along the way as much as possible, Liu Xie canceled all unnecessary guards of honor, and the entourage was also reduced to a minimum.

He himself also uses horses instead of driving.

After the edict was announced, some people were happy while others were worried.

The joy is the soldiers who have accompanied the emperor to patrol the border.After staying in Chang'an for so long, I can finally set off again.After nearly two years of rest and training, they are now full of fighting spirit, and they can't wait to rush to Jizhou in one step, show their skills, and let the arrogant Jizhou people see what is the real elite.

What is worrying is Lang Guan, who has just entered an official position.

They are close ministers of the emperor, even if they are civil servants, they must accompany them.It is too difficult for them to travel by horse.Before they became officials, most of them were gentle and elegant scholars, and they thought horse-drawn carriages were too fast and not as stable as ox carts, but now they are asked to use horses instead of carriages, what's the sense?
It's better for young people, and it's okay to learn now.Those who are a little older can't wait to resign.

The complaints reached Liu Xie's ears. Liu Xie immediately discussed with Yang Biao and Zhou Zhong, and selected some Lang officials who had been in the palace for a long time and were calm and released to serve as county magistrates, county magistrates, or county schools. He sacrificed wine, gave lectures, implemented the New Deal, and educated the people.

Especially Jizhou.

Since the imperial court decided to pacify Jizhou by force, there is nothing to be polite about, just roll out the New Deal and forcibly save the land.Cooperate with those who are willing to cooperate, and cooperate with those who are not willing to cooperate.

Anyone who dares to jump out to find trouble will kill you easily.

As soon as the news came out, the old officials in the palace became excited.

Some people also objected, thinking that this would stimulate the people of Jizhou and force them to support trial and match and rebel against the imperial court.But this kind of sound is very weak, and most people think that it is a mantis blocking a car or a mayfly shaking a tree, and they are overthinking their own capabilities.

When the emperor goes out to fight, he can mobilize more than [-] troops. Can the people of Jizhou stop it?
Surrender is their only way out.

Lang Guan, who signed up for the election, almost instantly burst the gate of Situ Mansion.

When the news spread to Taixue, those virtuous people who had just arrived from all over the world and were still immersed in the free academic discussion atmosphere of Taixue beat their chests and feet.Some people regret that they took a step too late, did not become officials immediately, and missed the opportunity to go out with the emperor, while others felt that these enthusiastic officials were shameless and abandoned morality for the sake of official career.

The dust has not yet settled on whether the land should be saved. Why do you support the imperial court and want to forcibly save the land in Jizhou?

-

Taiyuan, military camp.

Xun Chen hurried into Guo Tu's tent, his face was pale, and his forehead was dripping with cold sweat.

"Brother Gongze, something is wrong."

Guo Tu, who was reading the mansion newspaper, subconsciously raised his hand to cover his mouth and coughed. "Youruo, what happened, so panic?"

"The Son of Heaven wants to conquer Jizhou himself." Xun Chen said, shaking the letter he had just received in his hand. "I sent a message from Nv Wenqian."

Guo Tu was taken aback for a moment, and then his expression changed.

The emperor's personal conquest of Jizhou means that the imperial court not only has no interest in negotiating with the judge, but also wants to take this opportunity to directly pacify Jizhou by force and wipe out all opposition forces.

Whether this is a good thing or a bad thing depends on what the judge thinks.

If the judge is afraid and decides to surrender, that is a good thing.Their families will be safe.

If the judges carry on to the end, then their families will be miserable, and nine times out of ten they will be killed by the judges.The trial match is domineering and extreme, and the possibility of death is extremely high.

"Is this so good?"

"There is only one plan now." Xun Chen gritted his teeth. "Before the news of the imperial court's dispatch of troops reached Yecheng, we sent people into Yecheng to contact Xiu Ruo and Zhongzhi to see if we could raise troops, captured Shenpei and Tian Feng, and surrendered to Xiancheng. Also, Zuozhi By Xian Yi's side, if we can contact him and let him persuade Xian Yi to surrender to the court, we can also reduce the loss."

Guo Tu smiled wryly.

The method Xun Chen said sounds good, but it is difficult to implement.

Xun Yan, Xin Ping and others are indeed in Yecheng and have certain strength.But Shen Pei and Tian Feng are not stupid people, since they decided to fight against the imperial court, how can we not prevent them from causing chaos?

If nothing else happens, Ruyingren has already been imprisoned by Judao and Tian Feng.

As for Yuan Xi, the situation was not much better.

It is true that Simpi is from Ruying, but almost all the generals under Yuan Xi's command are from Jizhou, and they will not listen to Yuan Xi and Xinpi's orders to counterattack the judge.

Unless the court can pardon them.

However, judging from the attitude of the imperial court, the imperial court obviously did not intend to pardon the people of Jizhou, but instead planned to use force to quell Jizhou and promote land saving in Jizhou.

The generals in Jizhou are all powerful, and the land is their foundation.If there is no land, where will the parts come from?Without parts, what would they do?
That is to say, most of the members of the Ruying Party are tyrannical and powerful, relying on the output of the land to support their children to study and make friends, and to make a name for themselves.

Guo Tu's head hurts.

He thought for a while, and then said, "Didn't Yang Situ come forward?"

Xun Chen shook his head with a wry smile. "Admonishment, but it happened that the empress was having a difficult childbirth, the emperor was in a bad mood, he was embarrassed, and he was kicked out before he even finished speaking."

Guo Tu glanced at Xun Chen in surprise.

Although this reason is a bit absurd and may not be true, the result is very conclusive.Yang Biao, whom they placed high hopes on, failed to influence the emperor's decision, let alone others.

If nothing else happens, Mrs. Yuan, Shi Sun Rui and others will receive related news soon.

"Is there any news related to the beginning?"

"Not yet." Xun Chen sighed. "At the beginning, it was already a piece of fish and meat, not worth mentioning."

Guo Tu also sighed, and threw the book in his hand on the desk.

"You and I are no exception."
