The big man is on the run

Chapter 116 Jia Xu's Bold Plan

Zhang Ji and Zhang Xiu walked in one after another. When Zhang Ji saw Liu Yi, he quickly knelt down and shouted respectfully, "See Your Majesty!"

Zhang Ji's statement immediately attracted the attention of others, everyone looked at Zhang Ji, and Liu Yi also looked at Zhang Ji.

Liu Yi looked at Zhang Ji in front of him with a look of surprise on his face, it was the first time he saw Zhang Ji kneel down and salute him.

"What is General Zhang Ji doing? Please get up." Liu Yi said, ready to help Zhang Ji.

Zhang Ji did not get up, but knelt on the ground, lowered his head and said, "Your Majesty, the last general dare not, please forgive me."

Zhang Ji's attitude made everyone in the tent feel very strange, they really didn't understand what was going on with Zhang Ji.

"What's wrong with General Zhang? Why did you say such a thing suddenly?" Liu Yi looked at Zhang Ji and asked.

"The last general was bewitched by Li Jue and almost made a big mistake. The last general asked to disarm and return to the field. I hope His Majesty will do it." Zhang Ji said, and he was about to kowtow to Liu Yi.

Seeing Zhang Ji's actions, everyone was stunned. They didn't understand what happened that day.

Seeing this, Liu Yi was also taken aback, and quickly stopped Zhang Ji, while the staff members at the side were stupefied, only Jia Xu understood something.

Liu Yi looked at Zhang Ji, his mind running fast.

Zhang Ji is advancing by retreating, testing himself?Or is it really like what he said, does he really want to disarm and return to the field?
Although the second is unlikely, no matter what the reason is, Liu Yi must treat it with caution.

Thinking of this, Liu Yi looked at Zhang Ji and said.

"General Zhang, right now the country needs loyal ministers and good generals like you to fight off the rebels. I won't allow you to disarm and return to the fields, and you have to leave an explanation for me why this is the case today."

Hearing this, Zhang Ji couldn't help hesitating a little. He really didn't want to drop his armor and return to the field. He didn't want Liu Yi to give up on him just like that. So, deep down in his heart, he hoped that Liu Yi would say and ask this.

But when the words came to his lips, they changed.

"Your Majesty has fought for half of his life, and it's time to rest. Just as His Majesty was about to reorganize the army, he came up with the idea of ​​handing over the military power."

Liu Yi's expression was somewhat unpredictable to Zhang Ji. In the end, Liu Yi glanced at Zhang Xiu who was silent behind him, but said something very frank.

"General Zhang, if you are really willing to give up your military power and reorganize it, the troops will still be left to your nephew Zhang Xiuling, and you will be Jiuqing."

Zhang Xiu, who had been following behind, his eyes lit up after hearing Liu Yi's words. He did not expect the emperor to say that, and he was very excited in his heart.

Seeing Zhang Ji's reaction, Zhang Xiu did not reject Liu Yi's words. He knew that this time, he really had a chance.

And the rest of the staff were also very envious of Zhang Ji, and couldn't help feeling that Zhang Ji was really a character, who could voluntarily give up his military power. In this way, he could justifiably inherit the soldiers and horses in his hands to Zhang Xiu, and Became the nine ministers of the imperial court.

This is the highest position below Sangong!

However, they also knew that Zhang Ji was able to voluntarily give up his military power, not only because Liu Yi's words were very beautiful, but more importantly, the current general situation made him unable to resist, so Zhang Ji had the opportunity to retreat. Jin's idea is to take the initiative to give the emperor a face, and the emperor will also give him a face. In the end, not only did he get Jiuqing, but the actual control of the army is still in his own hands. It can be said that he has earned all the face.

Hearing Liu Yi's words, Zhang Ji hesitated for a long time, finally, Zhang Ji raised his head to look at Liu Yi, and said solemnly.

"Thank you for your majesty's kindness. I believe that my nephew will do his best to serve your majesty and will never disappoint your majesty's expectations."

Zhang Xiu also had some unconcealable joy on his face, kowtowing sincerely.

As soon as Zhang Ji finished speaking, Liu Yi immediately burst out laughing and said, "Okay, okay, okay, General Zhang, I did not misunderstand you, you have made great contributions to the country! I will never treat you badly in the future." Uncle and nephew!"

"Your Majesty has the grace of rebuilding the ministers, and the ministers are deeply grateful!"

"Well, since that's the case, I won't be polite to you anymore, so get up quickly. The official will explain to you how to do the reorganization in detail. If you work hard for a while, do it too well, and when you return to Chang'an, when the time comes Then you can sit in Jiuqing with peace of mind." Liu Yi looked at Zhang Ji with a smile and said.

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

Zhang Ji talked to Liu Yi for a while before he left the tent with Zhang Xiu.

As soon as Zhang Ji left, Liu Yi immediately looked at the staff at the side.

"You should all leave too. Go back to the camp to rest, and come to discuss the reorganization matters that have not been discussed at night. You have worked hard these days. It should be a period of time in the future. We will not have any more battles. Wait back Chang'an, I will give you the rewards you deserve."

"Yes, Your Majesty." Everyone saluted after hearing Liu Yi's words.

When only he and Jia Xu were left in the tent, Liu Yi looked at Jia Xu who had been silent all this time.

"What's wrong with Mr. Wen He? Why does he have a sad face, but he is worried about Yuan Shao's attack on Hedong?" Liu Yi asked suspiciously.

Jia Xu shook his head.

"That's not the case. Since His Majesty sent General Yang Feng and King Zuoxian to Beiqian to assist Hedong, and the Black Mountain Army Zhang Yan has already gone south to attack Yuan Shaojun's back road Dang County, then the situation in Hedong County should not be so. There's something wrong."

"Then Mr. Wenhe is worried about returning the capital? Or reorganization? Or farming?"

After asking, Liu Yi couldn't help laughing.

Who is Jia Xu? If Liu Yi didn't force this kind of troublesome thing, how could Jia Xu get involved in this political vortex?

But apart from these things, what else can make Jia Wenhe unhappy without saying a word?
"Your Majesty, I'm a little worried about things in Longxi and Liangzhou. Ma Teng and Han Sui are restless. If they don't join forces to attack Chang'an, what should we do?" Jia Xu said with a frown.

Liu Yi felt that he was hallucinating, "What should we do if we don't join forces to attack Chang'an?" After sorting out his thoughts, Liu Yi only thought that Jia Xu was talking about it, so he said.

"Well, I understand what Mr. Wen He said. However, it is not so easy for them to attack Chang'an. Didn't Li Jue defeat them before? The fighting power of the Qiang and Hu soldiers should not be comparable to that of Xi'an. Liang Jun."

He was not intimidated by Jia Xu's words, on the contrary, to him, if Ma Teng and Han Sui really came to attack Chang'an again, it would not be a big deal.

The first time Ma Teng and Han Sui attacked Chang'an, strictly speaking, it was the instruction of Liu Yi's predecessor.
At that time, it was to use their strength to drive away Li Jue and Guo Si. As a result, Ma Teng and Han failed to live up to their expectations and were defeated by the army led by Fan Chou and Li Shi.

"No." Jia Xu was a little helpless, and repeated again: "What I said is, if they don't unite to attack Chang'an, what should they do?"

Liu Yi was stunned.

"You want them to attack Chang'an together?"

Jia Xu took it for granted: "If they don't come to die, how can we pacify Longxi and Liangzhou? Fight them one by one? Although the Longkou of Longshan is not as good as Hanzhong, it is not easy to fight, and the Qianghu in the counties of Longxi are even worse. Injustice has been dealt with for hundreds of years.”

"Your Majesty, after all, Ma Teng and Han Sui didn't sincerely submit to the Han, and most of their troops were Qiang and Hu soldiers. Therefore, although my soldiers of the Han are elite, if they really go to Longxi and Liangzhou, they will go to Longxi and Liangzhou. They cannot be easily defeated."

Jia Xu went on to say that what he meant was very simple, if Liu Yi wanted to subdue Ma Teng and Han Sui if they didn't come to send them off, he could only take mild measures, and these measures would require a lot of money. time and energy to do it.

For example, to sow discord between Ma Teng and Han Sui, for example, to divide and disintegrate local forces in Longxi and Liangzhou, mixing sand and burying nails in them.

Defeating Ma Teng and Han Sui, the two strongest forces in Longxi by force, is of course the fastest way to regain Longxi and Liangzhou.

However, sending a large army to the conquest would not only consume an astonishing amount of food and grass, which could not be supported by the current strength of the imperial court, but also the outcome was unpredictable.

Therefore, it is easiest to wait for Ma Teng and Han Sui to send him off.

But Li Jue and Guo Si's heads fell to the ground one after another. Would Ma Teng and Han Sui, who couldn't even beat Li Jue and Guo Si, really dare to come?Or, do they have any good reason to come?

Anyway, Liu Yi couldn't think of it for the time being.

Judging by Ma Teng and Han Sui's character of only wanting to separate himself from one side, Liu Yi felt that there was nothing wrong with keeping them for now. If they fought against Yuan Shao, they would most likely send troops to help when they were called up by the imperial court.

Ma Chao, Pang De, and Yan Xing are fierce generals from Xiliang, Liu Yi is still very envious.

"This, Mr. Wenhe, I also understand in my heart, but right now, the imperial court doesn't have so much money and food for soldiers and horses to pacify Longxi and Liangzhou, so this matter can only be postponed for a while until our soldiers After training, we have enough food and grass, so we can make plans. If Ma Teng and Han Sui don't want to come, but we rashly lure them, it might be self-defeating, so let's tidy up and manage the Guanzhong site first." Liu Yi said with a smile. Jia Xu said.

After listening to Liu Yi's words, Jia Xu also nodded, and he also agreed with Liu Yi's meaning in his heart.

The plan mentioned just now is just a reference opinion he put forward as a counselor to the monarch. How the monarch considers it and whether to adopt it is Liu Yi's business.

Anyway, Jia Xu offered a suggestion, and the angle was peculiar and unique, even if he didn’t accept it, it would be regarded as his completion of the task.
"Your Majesty, should we send someone to Longxi and Liangzhou to appease the local warlords?" Jia Xu thought for a while, then looked at Liu Yi and said.

"It will definitely be used."

Liu Yi said decisively: "Not only do we need to send envoys to inspect and appease, but also the reappointment of missing officials in Longxi and Liangzhou must be started immediately. "
