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

Chapter 244 The Son of Heaven is not allowed to climb high, as climbing high will cause chaos in the world
The moon is on the brow, and the sky is dark like a rock.

It is rare for the emperor Liu Hong tonight not to ask his concubine to sleep with him, which is really rare for him who is extremely energetic every day.

Under the solitary lamp, he sat alone in the dormitory, speechless for a long time.

He absorbed too many things today and couldn't fully digest them.

For example...the plot to abolish history and establish animal husbandry, for example, the truth about the moth thief's rebellion, for example...raising pigs outside of the land and fields...all these made him feel restless for a long time.

For a moment...

He felt that his Yu'er was too knowledgeable, to an unbelievable degree, he seemed to understand everything, as if the general trend of the world was under his control, this feeling was amazing!

Even...Liu Hong would think, if...if his Yuer didn't want to help and rejuvenate the Han Dynasty, but to help the tyrant, to help the clan, to help the Yellow Turban Army...then what would his Han Dynasty look like.

Just thought of this...

"His Majesty…"

A slight sound came from outside the window, it was Jian Shuo's voice.

And at this time, his arrival... Obviously, it was specially arranged by the emperor Liu Hong. On the way back to the palace, Liu Hong arranged for him to investigate a person.

It is the governor of Jizhou——Wang Fen!
Because at the end of the conversation with Yu'er, Yu'er specifically hesitated to speak, and mentioned this Wang Fen meaningfully.

Yu'er's original words were - "Now the governor of Jizhou is Wang Fen... this guy..."

When Liu Hong asked "How is Wang Fen", Yu'er's answer was only three words "nothing"!
The more he said this, the more Liu Hong felt... Did Yu'er discover something?What did you spy on?It's just... because there is no confirmation, or no conditions to confirm, so... I can't be sure.

Then...

what is it then?

Liu Hong immediately sent Jian Shuo to investigate Wang Fen. He wanted to find out all the information about this person.

"His Majesty…"

Not long after, Jian Shuo had already entered Liu Hong's bedroom.

Liu Hong sat on the bed and asked, "How is it? How is Wang Fen?"

"The official voice is excellent..." Jian Shuo reported truthfully, "Wang Fen was originally one of the 'eight chefs' passed down by the scholars. In [-], Wang Fen took in refugees, pacified the rebellion, managed the army and governed the government, and quickly settled Jizhou, and the people's livelihood was prosperous! Whether it is in terms of reputation, public opinion, or the evaluation among officials...it is excellent!"

"what…"

Liu Hong's eyes widened, and he looked at Jian Shuo in surprise.

He felt that this matter... was a bit weird.

Zhu Yu is in front, Yuer has a pair of eyes, he specifically mentioned this person, proving that this person is not simple... But, in Jian Shuo's investigation, there is no black material about this person, this is the most weird thing.

"interesting…"

Liu Hong whispered softly: "A party member goes to work in a local area, but everyone thinks he is an honest official, but the place where the moth thief rebellion is the most ferocious is Jizhou, where this honest official is!"

Thinking of this...

Liu Hong frowned slightly.

Jian Shuo naturally knew what Liu Hong meant, and immediately said: "Your Majesty's consideration is that the only possibility is... the people around Wang Fen, the officials around him are all the same, no one wants to speak ill of Wang Fen, maybe because of conflicts of interests, And no one will slander him..."

When Jian Shuo reported, he secretly observed Liu Hong's face, and saw that there was no anger in his face, so he continued: "However, since he is a party member... maybe, like other party members, there is a line behind him. The thread connects these forces together. If you want to check, you may not find the result if you only check the evaluation, you must go to the field to find out his details, and then... Maybe you will have a completely different harvest! "

"..." Liu Hong was silent...

This is Wang Fen, the Wang Fen that Yuer casually mentioned such a sentence...

If, Wang Fen is really weird... I don't know how many officials the big man has... Being in different forces, officials and officials protect each other, deceiving the upper and lower... In fact, they are fish and meat of the common people!

"It seems that the thing Yu'er mentioned... still needs to be done!" Liu Hong groaned softly...

It's just that the voice of this sentence is extremely small...

Jian Shuo didn't hear clearly.

"Lieutenant Jian..." Liu Hong's voice came out one after another, "You send someone you trust to go to Jizhou to investigate this person... If you have any news, report back as soon as possible..."

Liu Hong's tone was hurried...

In fact...

Whether Wang Fen is weird or not depends on whether he wants to act according to Yu'er's other plan!

"Here!" Jian Shuo cupped his hands...

"Okay, you go down!" Liu Hong waved his hand and asked Jian Shuo to step back. After arranging this matter, he was a little sleepy...

never thought...

Jian Shuo took out a bamboo slip from his bosom, "Your Majesty, my minister... also found out something related to... the ten permanent attendants and the great general Huangfusong!"

Well…

Liu Hong narrowed his eyes slightly, and slowly took the bamboo slips.

He was taken aback.

But soon, he smiled...

"Look, this battle has just been won, and the eunuch and the general are fighting again!"

...

...

The Yellow Turban calmed down.

The vast land of northern Hebei has been slaughtered to the point where there are no people left for hundreds of miles, the fields are barren, the houses are destroyed, the roads are in disrepair, and the people's livelihood is withered.

Cao Cao was responsible for the logistics, not only to transport the military rations, but also to bury the corpses...

How many people died in a Northern Expedition... No one knows better than him.

This night, Cao Cao was writing, recording the pits dug and the people buried...

—— Thirty pits, 5000 people!

This is the latest battle report on the suppression of the remnants of the Yellow Turbans. Among the 5000 people, most of them are not young people as always, but the young and old of the Yellow Turban Army!

"Ugh…"

Cao Cao sighed...

Coincidentally, the guards who had been tired all day outside the door were gathering around and talking about something.

Cao Cao stood at the tent door and listened carefully.

"Have you heard? Your Majesty ordered General Huangfu Song to be the Marquis of Huaili. There are a total of [-] households in Shihuaili and Meiyang counties."

"Bypassing the Marquis of Ting? Directly conferring the title of Marquis of the County... This has never happened in the past!"

"Things are tricky, General Huangfu Song was still...a prisoner in Luoyang Beisi Prison half a year ago, but now... he has become the envy of everyone in the blink of an eye.

"But... General Huangfu has killed too many people. Today's Jizhou is deserted for hundreds of miles, and there is no rooster crowing for thousands of miles... There is no one. Who will cultivate those abandoned fields in Jizhou?"

"Hey, who cares about this... From ancient times to the present, which battlefield has made meritorious service... Doesn't it have thousands or tens of thousands of lives?"

"The land of Jizhou is dying for thousands of miles, and it is also a hard-hit area for moth thieves. The people are afraid of the war and flee, and the moth thieves are raging and destroying crops... This year's summer grain, I am afraid that there will be no harvest."

Listening to what these sergeants are saying...

Cao Cao shook his head helplessly. In the past, he had warned Huangfusong many times not to slaughter the family of the Yellow Turban Army and leave some farming people in Jizhou, but...now...

more than this…

The killing of Huangfusong is likely to bring huge hidden dangers.

"Brother Yu, brother Yu... I hope what you mentioned in your letter will not come true!" Cao Cao was filled with emotion...

As for what was mentioned in Liu Yu's letter, Huangfu Song killed too much, and it didn't matter during the war, but once... the Yellow Turban was put down, someone would turn over these old accounts!
Just like Huangfusong would not let the eunuchs go, the eunuchs would not let go of any opportunity to move to Jiangmen!
"Ugh…"

A long sigh...Cao Cao closed his eyes helplessly.

at this time…

The sound of horseshoes suddenly came, Cao Cao quickly ran out of the big tent, and saw several messengers...

"Lieutenant Cao Qi, the general has an order, and the squadron will return to the court tomorrow!"

The messengers were very polite to Cao Cao...

Although Cao Cao was only a small logistics chief in the Northern Expedition, but... in several consecutive battles, he performed very well and won the respect of almost everyone except Huangfusong!
"Why... the teacher will return to the court so soon?" Cao Cao asked suspiciously...

The messenger replied truthfully: "I heard that His Majesty sent someone to issue an edict in a hurry...I don't know about the others."

"Okay!" Cao Cao nodded, "Tonight, the logistics army will pack up the food and supplies..."

Following Cao Cao's voice, the entire logistics army became busy...

What puzzled Cao Cao was that, obviously... Not long ago, General Huangfu was ordered to stay in Jizhou to resume work after the war. There were even rumors... His Majesty wanted to make him Jizhou Shepherd and take charge of the land of Jizhou...but...now...

"It must be someone in the court who made a mess!"

Cao Cao muttered, thinking of Liu Yu's reminder...

It seems...a general as resolute as Huangfu cannot escape the villain's flattery.

Do you want to remind Huangfusong?
Cao Cao hesitated...

He was afraid that his reminder would be ignored by Huangfusong again, or it would cause him to fly into a rage again.

And if you can think of this level, there is no doubt... this time the Northern Expedition made Cao Cao grow up, whether it is commanding the army, or logistics, or mentality and... wisdom, this is an all-round and complete growth.

Compared with the original outspoken and daring to advise, the original stunned youth...now he is much more rational.

call…

Cao Cao looked up at the bright moon, the bright moon was in the sky, and the stars were shining... The night in Jizhou seems to be more open and open-minded than Luoyang!
...

...

Jizhou Barracks, the big tent of the Chinese Army.

Huangfusong stared deeply at the imperial edict in his hand, and was speechless for a long time... His son Huangfu Jianshou frowned.

"Father, my son complains for you!"

Huangfu Jianshou seemed very angry...

"From Luoyang north to east to Dongjun, straight to Guangzong, the most north to Quyang, and then back to Luoyang from Quyang... a big circle, the whole line is three or four thousand miles! These... are measured by father and every soldier. What came out was the same measurement as the army horses and wheels, how much blood was shed by father and the soldiers, and how many times their lives were hanging by a thread... Do those eunuchs know? Why do they say... Father killed too much, saying that father led to the population of Jizhou There are too many losses, the people's livelihood is dying, and agricultural production has been severely damaged...and they say...that the father destroyed the image of the emperor and the officers and soldiers in the hearts of the people, wasting money and food, and the gain is not worth the loss! They...what do they know? Why do they 'frame' us bloody fighters? !"

Wrath... Huangfu Jianshou was furious...

He didn't expect that they fought so bloody in the Northern Army. If it wasn't for Cao Cao's time in Quyang, they would have been wiped out... But the eunuch only needs to use his words to 'frame' them!
It is completely different from Huangfu Jianshou's anger...

Huangfusong looked very calm.

"Is this a frame-up?"

"This Northern Expedition, Dad's Northern Expedition killed more than 200,000 Mothie and their families. It is true that I killed too much..."

Huangfusong put both hands on the table...

He said with emotion: "At the beginning, the kid surnamed Cao persuaded me to let the family members of these moth thieves go, but I scolded them out. Unexpectedly... one day, I will be sued for this matter." !"

What Huangfusong said...

Huangfu Jianshou remembered...

Indeed, Cao Cao mentioned at the beginning that he would let his father do less killing and let go of those moth thieves who have no hands to tie their chickens, but his father...

"So... then Captain Cao Cao is really..."

"Hehe..." Huangfusong laughed, "He is better than his father, his father is a fool, but he is not! I originally thought that he was protecting the people for the sake of the people, but now it seems that he is protecting me! "

Thinking about this...

For the first time, Huangfusong had a great affection for Cao Cao.

"Father...what's the worst plan?" Huangfu Guishou continued to ask...

"I came out of Luoyang Beisi Prison, it's a big deal, I just go back, besides, Dad may not be able to defeat those eunuchs! Tomorrow will return to court triumphantly as usual..."

Huangfusong paused every word.

At this moment, although he was still resolute on the outside, in his heart, he felt a little more admiration for Cao Cao.

"Father...Maybe, we can ask Cao Cao, the captain of cavalry again...he mentioned this at the beginning...then now..."

Huangfu Song resolutely refused the words of Huangfu's longevity...

"impossible!"

After leaving these three words, Huangfu Song glared at Huangfu Jianshou, and stepped out of the big tent.

Huangfu Jianshou shouted: "He is Yulin Liulang's eldest brother! Back then, Qiao Xuan and Cai Yong were also in great trouble, and it was because of him... that they escaped!"

Hearing Yulin Liulang's name, Huangfusong paused, he took a deep breath, but his mouth was still hard.

"I am a great general in the world, how could I ask that chief of logistics surnamed Cao?"

Dead duck... hard mouth!
...

...

Liu Yu had already left Luoyang and headed north towards Youzhou.

Liu Bei was waiting for him at the junction of Youzhou and Jizhou... Along the way, he was escorted by Guan Yu and Xu Huang, who had just returned from their triumphant return.

Liu Hong, the emperor who learned that Yu'er left Luoyang... During this time, he was a little restless.

It's like losing the backbone...

On the other hand, Zhang Rang and Zhao Zhong... among the ten permanent servants have been very active recently.

On the stone steps outside Deyang Hall...

Liu Hong was climbing a height and looking towards the direction of Jizhou in the north. He was thinking, Yu'er should have left the prison and arrived in Chenliu's territory. Even though Wang Yue was escorting him, Liu Hong was still a little worried...

In today's world, even though the moth thief has calmed down, it is still not peaceful.

"Your Majesty..." Zhang Rang said at this moment: "Your Majesty, you must not climb high. I have made a calculation with my servants, and climbing high will bring disaster!"

Well…

Liu Hong's eyes narrowed slightly... he was noncommittal to Zhang Rang's words.

Seeing that His Majesty did not speak, Zhang Rang quickly continued: "Your Majesty, there is an eunuch who knows how to calculate servants in the palace. Listen to his words, the moth thief is yellow, green and yellow since ancient times, cast human figures with copper, and displayed in the four corners of the imperial city...The copper is weathered After that, it will gradually turn green, so that the moth thieves can be suppressed forever, so that the moth thieves' rebellion will not repeat!"

Once... If Zhang Rang wanted to say that, Liu Hongbao would have believed it.

After despairing of his own situation, he often believes in such ghosts and gods' words, but now...it is different, because of Liu Yu's existence, Liu Hong is no longer "idealistic", and has become more "materialistic"...

Considering his suspicion of Wang Fen, the governor of Jizhou, for a while, Liu Hong would guess... Zhang Rang said these things, he was climbing high, and he was cast in bronze... Is he also weird?
