Three Kingdoms: Cao Cao and Liu Bei help me to ascend the throne

Chapter 240

In the bedroom of Jizhou Governor's Mansion, the curtains were lowered and the light was dim.

Inspector of Jizhou, Wang Fen, had a sick bag on his head and a pained expression...

The doctors were helpless, his wife sat by the bed and sobbed softly, and his sons stood aside.

A while passed... The doctor asked his wife and sons to leave on the grounds of recuperation. At this time, Wang Fen changed from his sickness just now, and slowly got up leaning against the edge of the bed.

The doctor glanced at Wang Fen, "How long is Governor Wang going to pretend to be sick?"

"So what if I don't pretend to be sick?" Wang Fen shook her head... "Huangfu Song fought all the battles, Zhang Jiao, Zhang Bao, and Zhang Liang were also wiped out by him. If I don't pretend to be sick, wouldn't it appear that I am incompetent?" ?Ugh…"

at this time…

A confidant servant came in: "Inspector Wang, Xu...Xu Ziyuan is here, and he said...he also brought a distinguished guest."

As soon as this statement comes out…

Wang Fen straightened up like a carp and sat up.

"You mean a guest?"

How could he not know... Xu You is now involved in a lawsuit, a lawsuit to rescue Yuan Shao from prison, and in this lawsuit, Yuan Shao disappeared without a trace.

Then this distinguished guest is probably...

Whoosh...all of a sudden, Wang Fen stood up, "Where are they...where are they?"

"Old... old place?"

Wang Fen didn't dare to stay at all, and rushed to the old place in a hurry.

Speaking of which, Wang Fen, the governor of Jizhou, was implicated in the first disaster of party imprisonment.

It was Emperor Huan's dynasty, and many "upright men" were abolished and exiled...

The treacherous people unscrupulously linked together to suppress them.

So the Qingliu people on the land of the Central Plains flaunted each other, referring to the famous people in the world, and calling them titles.

The first is called "Three Monarchs", the second is called "Ba Jun", the next is called "Ba Gu", and the next is called "Ba Ji". Finally, it is the turn of "Eight Chefs". Wang Fen is one of the "eight chefs".

In the first year of Jianning, the second disaster of party imprisonment broke out, and Wang Fen had to go into exile again, and was imprisoned twice for nineteen years!
Thanks to the help from the Yuan family in Runan, Yuan Shao's "Friends of Running" absorbed him and hid him in Runan...

After the Yellow Turban Uprising broke out, in order to unite the clans in the world, the emperor Liu Hong lifted the party, and Wang Fen was reused. Now he is the governor of Jizhou...

And because of his excellent skills, in the past year, he has taken in refugees, pacified the rebellion, and managed the army and government, but he has stabilized the situation in Jizhou and fought against the main force of the Yellow Turban Bandits.

Until... Huangfusong's Northern Expedition broke the original balance of Jizhou!

In the final analysis, Wang Fen was rescued and recommended by the Yuan family. Naturally... he is from the iron faction of the Yuan family in Runan.

Ever since the Yuan family in Runan was wiped out, he tried every means to find Yuan Shao's whereabouts, and now... there is finally news!
It's late at night, in the secret room...

Yuan Shao and Xu You had arrived first, and the servant led Wang Fen in. He was wearing a cloak and a hood...

When Yuan Shao and Xu You saw him, they quickly cupped their hands: "Wang Inspector!"

Wang Fen said nervously and excitedly, "You two have come here, no one has seen it?"

Xu You said with emotion: "Don't worry, Governor Wang, Benchu ​​and I sneaked in from the vegetable garden at the back after nightfall, and we didn't find anyone following us all the way."

Yuan Shao slowly put down his sleeves, and suddenly hesitated, "I heard from Ziyuan that you have a plan...to abolish the current emperor and make the king of Hefei the emperor? This matter is too important. If there are only the three of us, it may be difficult to achieve it." , at least...it needs to involve some important officials in the court, I wonder who else Wang Inspector contacted?"

Wang Fen looked around vigilantly, he took Yuan Shao's hand, "Benefactor, please take a look!"

While talking, he wrote many names in Yuan Shao's hand, Yuan Shao showed surprise and surprise, "There is...he!"

Xu You said: "There are some people who are nothing on the surface, but in fact they are our fellows."

It seems that Xu You and Wang Fen know more and more carefully...

Wang Fen sighed: "Your Majesty now uses Qiao Xuan, Cai Yong, and Xun Yu, all of whom belong to the Liu Yu Taoist sect. The generals are bewitched, and the Yuntai generals headed by Nanyang are willing to be reduced to their cattle and horses. Since we can’t count on it, now our clan and party members must unite more sincerely!”

Yuan Shao said with emotion: "The emperor of today is well versed in the art of power and scheming, and now with the help of Liu Yu, the defense is even stricter. It is difficult to poison, and other opportunities... can only try to trick the emperor out of the palace. ...The imperial court issued an edict to let the governor Wang mobilize troops to cooperate with Liu Yu's crusade against the two bandits of Heishan and Baibo...and also mentioned that he will come to Jizhou in person, this...is an opportunity!"

Yuan Shao, who was in the headwind, showed extraordinary insight.

Wang Fen clapped his hands, "Good idea, when your Majesty comes to Jizhou, he will bring no more than a thousand troops, but I have more than ten thousand soldiers in Jizhou. This is a godsend opportunity!"

Xu You also cupped his hands and said, "I'm ready too. Five hundred dead soldiers have been trained. We only need the soldiers from Jizhou to hold down the captain of Xiyuan, then we can kill the emperor and support the king of Hefei as emperor!"

Yuan Shao said in a deep voice: "President Wang, Ziyuan...we have to take that Liu Yu into consideration. My 'good brother' is very shrewd. Several times my Yuan family's plans have come to naught because of him. If he had Deploy...then..."

"Hehe..." Hearing this, Xu You laughed, and while stroking his little beard, he said, "This time, I really thought about him!"

Well…

Yuan Shao was taken aback.

Xu You said confidently: "The reason why your Majesty came to Jizhou is because he wanted to cooperate with Liu Yu's conquest of Heishan and Baibo. On the land of Jizhou... Do you think there is any information that Wang Shishi should inquire about?" Is it not possible? Let the Black Mountain Army defeat Liu Yu, and even kill him, it seems... not a difficult task!"

hiss…

This time, Yuan Shao gasped.

Wang Fen laughed "haha", "It's the first time I saw Benchu ​​today, I don't know Benchu ​​yet, Ziyuan and I have written countless letters, and the plan to abolish the emperor is not just started. Step by step, we have taken everything into consideration!"

Yuan Shao was in awe for a moment, "It's so good... so good!"

"Although my Yuan family in Runan was wiped out, my uncle is fine, especially the background of my Yuan family. If we need dead soldiers, I can also call some from Runan!"

"Okay!" Wang Fen was waiting for this sentence, "Benchu, Ziyuan, we are going to do a big thing this time!"

After finishing speaking...he excitedly lifted a wine jar and filled a large bowl of wine, "Today we are here to make an alliance with blood. If you break your oath and let down those who have established great achievements, you will be covered in yellow sand, and you will die a bad death! "

All three rolled up their sleeves, cut their arms with a knife one by one, dripped blood into the bowl, raised them up to drink one by one, and then held the three hands tightly together.

...

...

——Yizhou has the spirit of the emperor!

A piece of news from Bashu suddenly spread to Luoyang. Although it did not reach the palace, it still made many people want to move.

then…

A family member of the Han Dynasty, Taichang Liu Yan asked to see the emperor, and proposed to the emperor Liu Hong in the Hall of Long Live.

"Your Majesty... Now that the Yellow Turban has been pacified, we have to investigate the rise of the moth thieves. As far as I know... this time the moth thieves rebelled. Most of the local governors and prefects exploited the people and sold officials privately, which led to the betrayal of relatives. , should select those trustworthy 'insiders' to serve as local governors, and consolidate the powers of governors and eunuchs into one, so that these eunuchs will have concerns when they do evil again, the so-called... estrangement!"

When mentioning the last four words "Sparse and inseparable", Liu Yan deliberately emphasized it.

And this has two meanings...

One is criticizing the local governor and the prefect for being greedy for ink, and the other is casually suggesting that the people His Majesty trusts the most should be members of our clan?
How can our own people be greedy for ink?How could it be possible to do evil?
Leave your own people alone, that's why there's such a big mess, why don't you hurry up... use the clan's children, use your own people?

"Between Yiqing, what should I do specifically?"

Liu Hong asked with interest.

Liu Yan paused and explained slowly, "Your Majesty can set up a new official rank in each state and county, which is above the governor and prefect. It is called Zhou Mu, and you can send ministers and clan members who you can trust to be appointed. In this way... the following Officials are afraid of the state shepherd, so naturally they dare not bully goodness, let alone buy and sell officials. The state shepherds above are the most trustworthy people of His Majesty, and they are directly responsible to His Majesty. "

"Besides, this Mothie rebellion has greatly explained the lack of local soldiers and horses, and the lack of local soldiers and horses. After all, the prefect is in charge of military power, and the governor is only in charge of supervision. The prefects cannot be transferred because of the same powers. Soldiers and horses from other counties fight together, and the governor can contact the counties, but he has no military power! This is also the reason why the Mothie Rebellion was not put down immediately!"

If we follow the original trajectory of history...

Liu Hong immediately agreed to Liu Yan's proposal of "abolishing history and establishing animal husbandry".

Even Liu Yan, Huang Wan, and Liu Yu were dispatched as the first batch of governors in Yizhou, Yuzhou, and Youzhou as an attempt.

As a result, the early results were surprisingly good.

When Liu Yan went to Yizhou, he implemented a policy of tolerance and grace to the rebels, and attacked the local tyrants, stabilizing the situation in Yizhou;
When Huang Wan took office as the shepherd of Yuzhou, he not only put down the bandit Lu Liang who caused chaos in Yuzhou, but also governed Yuzhou well, and was sealed as a Marquis of the Guan for his outstanding political achievements;

When Liu Yu served as the shepherd of Youzhou, he won the hearts of the people. He not only quelled the civil strife of Zhang Chun and Zhang Ju, but also implemented benevolent policies to make Youzhou live and work in peace.

It is also the success of the three-state experiment that led to the follow-up story of sending Liu Biao to Jingzhou.

But... the good times don't last long...

The so-called - the human heart has something to take, and to take it is called likes and dislikes.

In the later stage, people are confused, and the team is not easy to lead...

Although Huang Wan and Liu Yu were still loyal to the Han Dynasty, one died tragically at the hands of Li Jue and Guo Si, and the other was defeated in the competition with Gongsun Zan, and ended up decapitated.

Liu Yan and Liu Biao are on one side, no matter how turbulent the Central Plains is, they will be content with one side and keep their family prosperous.

Abolishing history and establishing animal husbandry also changed from this moment to helping the warlords to separatize one side, which eventually led to the existence of the Han Dynasty in name only!
certainly…

At this moment, the emperor Liu Hong has not thought of so much.

It's just that he feels that this matter...can't be decided with his head, because...Unlike Liu Hong in history, he now has an extremely reliable think tank.

"Let me think about this matter!"

As soon as Liu Hong's words came out, Liu Yan was stunned...

Think... think about it?
Liu Yan did not expect that he had deduced countless times of rhetoric, he had organized countless times of rhetoric, but... was actually prevaricated by the emperor in a perfunctory way, this... this...

"Your Majesty, my subject..." Liu Yan opened his mouth, but his mouth seemed to be choked, and he suddenly didn't know how to speak or what to say.

"Okay, I will give you an answer after I think about it!" Liu Hong waved his hand...

Liu Yan had no choice but to withdraw from the Qianqiu Long Live Palace.

Wait until Liu Yan walks away...

Liu Hong opened his mouth and said, "Where is Captain Jian?"

"The minister is here!" Jian Shuo, who had been outside the door for a long time, walked in quickly.

"Can Yu'er watch in Yulin?" Liu Hong asked directly.

"Here!" Jian Shuo cupped his hands, "Tomorrow we are leaving for Jizhou and Youzhou..."

Jian Shuo was surprised by Liu Hongguo's words in "Putting Yulin Temple 1"...

Putting Yulin Temple on display?
Swing... Swing?
You know, in the past, the emperor Liu Hong went to Yulin for a private visit, but this time it was a show...

Don't look at the difference in the process, but the meaning is two extremes!

"What? Didn't you understand what I said?"

Seeing that Jian Shuo was in a daze, Liu Hong added another question...

"Understood, I understand..." Jian Shuo hurriedly cupped his hands, "I'll make arrangements now... This is the arrangement!"

...

...

Inside Yulin Temple…

Zhang Yulan sat across from Liu Yu, bowed her head and said nothing, as if she was playing petty temper.

Liu Yu asked with a smile: "What? Are you unhappy?"

"The moth thieves haven't been completely pacified yet, and you're going to Youzhou...to conquer Wuhuan, do you have to keep yourself so busy?" Zhang Yulan showed displeasure...

During this period of time... too many things have happened to the big man, and it seems that everything has nothing to do with Liu Yu... and Yulin Temple.

But if you study it carefully, you can see the shadow of Liu Yu in everything!

As Liu Yu's woman, Zhang Yulan knows too well...

It seems that the husband didn't come to the battlefield in person, but he was very tired and exhausted, and he was worrying countless thoughts.

"Why are you so petty? Have you forgotten what the master said before he died? Isn't it his last wish to rejuvenate the Han Dynasty and Daomen? Now the Han Dynasty has finally improved, and the Daomen has also entered the main hall. You should Just be happy!"

Liu Yu got up slowly, and he walked behind Zhang Yulan...

He knew that Zhang Yulan was worried about herself...worrying about working too hard, but what was this?

There is still a long way to go to achieve the goal, and the road has to be taken step by step.

"I can't tell you...but..."

Zhang Yulan asked worriedly: "But have you ever thought about it? Even if Gongsun Zan and Liu Bei have trained their soldiers and horses, it is still very dangerous to go to the Northern Expedition in spring. Because... because there are Baibo and Heishan at the junction of Jizhou and Youzhou. The bandit army... As far as I know, the local report, they have a total of 300,000 people is not true, the real number is probably... more than twice the 300,000!"

Speaking of here…

Zhang Yulan paused for a moment, she spoke earnestly.

——"You can go, but... you must let me go too, I will protect you!"
