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

Chapter 251 30 Black Mountain Army, 30 Mouths!

Xun Yu left and went to the palace to face the saint.

Cao Cao leaned against the wall, his hand resting on the copybook.

At this point, he needs some time to sort it out.

It is mentioned in the letter that the Black Mountain Army's surprise attack on Yecheng happened before the third brother persuaded him to surrender...

If this is the case, then the shock that this urgent letter brought to Cao Cao was too great.

on the one hand…

It is the third brother who persuaded too many people to surrender!

30 Black Mountain Army...Cao Cao knows best, how much food will be spent, how many soldiers will be sacrificed, and how much risk will it take to defeat this number of Black Mountain Army?

How many places in the land of Jizhou will be "strewn with corpses and rivers of blood"?
That's why Cao Cao repeatedly persuaded Huangfusong to spare the family members of the Yellow Turban Army. War is too cruel and bullying for ordinary people!

If calculated according to this, persuading the 30 Montenegrin Army to surrender is more than twice as successful as strangling the 30 Montenegro Army?
On the other hand, Yecheng...

Yecheng is the seat of Jizhou. Even if Zhang Jiao broke out in the Yellow Turban Uprising in Julu, he could not bring down Jizhou even in the end. Just now, the governor of Jizhou, Wang Fen, hanged himself, and the counties of Jizhou are governed by themselves, and the dragons have no leader... This is a godsend Good opportunity...

Can Yecheng, which is isolated and helpless, withstand a round of attacks from the Black Mountain Army?

As far as Cao Cao knows, Yecheng's defense force is only a few thousand people, and now the general of the Black Mountain Army is known as "Flying Swallow", and he is famous for his agility. It is thought that there are many soldiers under him who are good at climbing the city wall and climbing the tower first. By!
Once Yecheng really falls, at least... the people in the city will be slaughtered and looted, and people will panic...

More often than not, the Yellow Turban rebellion will rise again, and will spread around with "Yecheng" as a dot... Finally, it will become a prairie fire!

So it seems...

On the letter paper, the short eight characters "Yecheng is safe, don't panic" have a profound meaning.

Of course, this is not what really shocked Cao Cao.

The most shocking thing about him is... the first half of the letterhead mentioned this time "going to the meeting alone"...

The third brother is really brave!

With Guan Changsheng, dare... dare to break into this tiger and wolf den?

Every time Cao Cao thinks of this, he can't help but take a deep breath, at least...if he...he would never dare to do this, it's too risky, and it's too unbelievable, but it's amazing, the third brother Liu Yu just... just did it!

call…

With a long exhale, Cao Cao was filled with emotion.

He turned his head, his eyes swept across the long road, and Xun Yu's back flashed away outside the window...

Cao Cao softly said: "Third Brother's move will probably surprise His Majesty, right? The whole court?"

...

...

The imperial palace, Simamen's place.

When Xun Yu arrived, Situ Yang Ci, Si Nong Cao Song, and Yu Shi Zhongcheng Sima Fang were all there.

As if, in the middle of the night, the three of them were also urgently summoned by the emperor.

...It's easy to understand. Isn't Yecheng "fallen"?
Then next...

The Taiwei in charge of the military, Situ in charge of managing the land and educating the people, Si Nong in charge of the treasury's agricultural administration, and Zhongcheng the censor in charge of supervision and impeachment all naturally had to be summoned for discussion.

Originally, this discussion could be held tomorrow morning...

After all, this kind of thing can't be rushed.

But for the emperor Liu Hong, he can't wait until tomorrow morning. For him, he is sitting on pins and needles, like a light on his back, like a thorn in his throat...

When Xun Yu saw a few people, he hurriedly saluted... In this case, his official rank was low.

While saluting, he immediately showed Cao Song the urgent mail in his hand.

When Cao Song saw the urgent message, he thought something was wrong, and his face was terrified.

I never thought about...the contents of it.

"Is this letter really written by Guanzhu Liu?" Cao Song asked in surprise...

He is already a little bit excited...

Xun Yu took a deep look at Cao Song, "Sinong Cao should recognize Guanzhu Liu's handwriting!"

"Haha..." Cao Song laughed heartily and said, "Bless the heroes of the Han Dynasty, the country and the country... Yecheng is safe, Yecheng is safe!"

Sima Fang and Yang Ci also came over, looked down at the letter carefully, and saw the key part...the body trembled, and both of them were shocked...

Immediately, Yang Ci frowned in disbelief and said, "How is it possible?"

Sima Fang sighed, "It might not be possible for others, but for Liu Yu, it's different."

Yang Ci nodded... He and Xun Yu exchanged glances.

All in all...the good news.

The city of Ye was saved, and the hidden dangers of Jizhou were lifted, which is good news!

...

...

The Imperial Palace, the Palace of Longevity.

Emperor Liu Hong stared dumbfounded at the "Liu Yu's letter" that Xun Yu presented, he felt too surprised and outrageous...

In order to ensure the authenticity of the letter, and the matter is of great importance...he specially ordered Jian Shuo to check again.

Since there is an urgent message from Hejian County, so will the surrounding cities and counties. What is the current situation in Ye City?

This search took an hour, and sure enough, urgent reports from various states and counties were sent to...

It is true that the Black Mountain Army quickly entered Yecheng by means of a surprise attack...

But the bandits haven't entered the city yet...

I don’t know whose order I received, so I stationed outside the city and managed to break into it...But Qiu didn’t commit any crimes. flag of...

This sudden change made all the surrounding cities and counties stunned. I thought it was a catastrophe, but now it seems... a bit weird!

Helpless, the states and counties... can only send an urgent letter to Luoyang and the emperor.

Of course, that's not all...

The dispatches from Yecheng were also delivered, and the contents were exactly the same as those dispatches and Liu Yu's letterhead.

This…

At this moment, the Emperor Liu Hong was startled. He was dumbfounded listening to the content of each urgent report. He felt that the world was crazy and wrong... He felt that he was really good at giving birth.

Qiao Xuan, Yang Ci, Sima Fang, Xun Yu, and Jian Shuo had long bowed to the ground, "All blessings, Your Majesty!"

"It's really amazing!" Liu Hong walked back and forth in the Qianqiu Long Live Palace excitedly. He never imagined that Yu'er brought a guard and went to the meeting alone. In the end... unexpectedly... this is the result!

Unexpectedly, he recruited 30 Montenegrin troops with a single mouth.

This made him extremely excited...

"General Liu Zhonglang, well done, and Guan Changsheng, who escorted General Liu Zhonglang to the meeting alone, is also very courageous!"

Liu Hong's lips were trembling, and his face was flushed with excitement...

Montenegro Army!
Chu Feiyan!
These troublesome names, now... all belong to the big man, Yu'er did it.

Liu Hong couldn't help but think...

That day when he took Baiguan to Yulin to see Yu'er...

In the study room, the two of them chatted a lot about the current situation... about the clan, about the fields, about the common people, about "water can carry a boat, but it can also overturn it", they also talked about Yu'er's next plan.

In spring and summer, the strategy of the Northern Expedition to Wuhuan will not change!

But Yu'er needs more soldiers...

Different from those recruited by Gongsun Zan and Liu Bei in Youzhou, there are too few... and too late!
What Yu'er values ​​is...the Black Mountain Army!

This is a huge team!It is also a team that has experienced many battles!
If used well...it can play a huge role!

And when asked how Yu'er planned to subdue this Montenegro army...

Liu Yu's answer was to persuade him to capitulate... This is the most cost-effective way.

Liu Hong immediately planned to issue an imperial edict, asking Liu Yu to carry the edict with him...representing the imperial court to summon security, which would have a higher success rate, but Liu Yu refused...

His reason was that if such an edict was to call for safety, it would be a reward, and an official promotion...then the Black Mountain Army would not cherish it, and would lose the motivation to continue fighting, and lie in the credit book...

The big man recruited these 30 people, not to enshrine 30 mouths, but to let them play their remaining heat.

Therefore, Liu Yu insisted on going to Taihang Mountain without the Zhaoan edict, and this was what worried Liu Hong the most...

As a result, when the Black Mountain Army raided Yecheng, Liu Hong thought it was because the negotiations between Yu'er and the Black Mountain Army had broken down, so he was extremely worried.

But now...

Yu'er is "invincible", right?
...Liu Hong only thought that he might have given birth to a "Heavenly Wizard", right?

Thinking of this, Liu Hong opened his mouth and said, "Now, the Northern Expedition Wuhuan will have a lot more manpower...but..."

Liu Hong hesitated to speak...as if, he suddenly thought of something.

However, Xun Yu immediately heard what the emperor meant, "Your Majesty is concerned about... the placement of the 30 Black Mountain Army?"

Xun Yu's words were a wake-up call...

Yang Ci hurriedly said: "Indeed... the 30 Black Mountain Army is not easy to arrange!"

Just as Xun Yu and Yang Ci were worried about, 30 Black Mountain Army, that is 30 mouths, and what's more special is the 30 mouths with criminal records!
In the past, they could rise up and join the Yellow Turban Army, but today they can surrender to the court without hesitation.

So... what about the future?

Will they be on both ends again?Another rebellion?Even... During the Northern Expedition to Wuhuan, turning against the enemy... If that was the case, it would be terrible.

As the imperial court, you must consider more and be more comprehensive!
At this moment, Emperor Liu Hong frowned, and his face became more serious.

Sima Fang said with emotion: "It was a great joy, but I never thought about it...but a new problem came up. Even if you take ten thousand steps back, the Yellow Scarves are just a bunch of traitors with a head on their heads. The time has come, and the imperial court can feed them with food, but one day in the future, what if the food supply cannot be supplied? Are they going to rise up again? Go to counterattack the prefectures and counties? What will happen then? These are all things that the imperial court needs to consider of!"

As Sima Fang's voice fell...

The whole atmosphere here became more and more dignified, and everyone's face was not good-looking...

But Xun Yu was the only one who looked completely opposite to the others. He raised his face and looked extra confident: "Actually, I discussed this issue with General Liu Zhonglang...and we also discussed some solutions.

"Let's hear it." Liu Hong narrowed his eyes and asked hastily.

"Your Majesty and all the ministers may wish to think about it..." Xun Yu explained: "These Black Mountain Army are indeed moth thieves, but why did the moth thieves rebel? They are the lowest level of the people, and this type of people has the most simple character. As long as life goes on, nothing will happen, but... the result? They watched the drought, flood, ice, locust, and plague one after another, and the foreign race invaded one after another, and they were already homeless and desperate. Yu couple eat each other..."

"But on the other side, the minister who has read poetry and books, Liang Tianqianqing, the eunuchs who have seized power to search for the people, and the families of the states and counties, and celebrities who are famous all over the world, they are still squeezing and exploiting the people at the bottom step by step!"

Xun Yu's voice was not loud, but every word was resounding, as if he was using his mouth to expound the ills of the big man that he and Liu Yu talked about in this court hall, in this hall of eternal life.

And these words also shocked Liu Hong... and made the ministers here shocking, and even felt ashamed.

Xun Yu's words continued, "The cold dare not clothe, the hungry dare not eat, the people are in trouble, but Mo Zhixie... Liu Zhonglang will ask the minister a question, and the minister dares to ask your majesty, and ask all the ministers, if your majesty agrees Your highnesses are these low-level people, so... at this time of despair, you hear someone say, 'As long as you join us, you will have food and cure your illness', will your majesty and your highnesses believe it? If those people tell you that only Rebellion is the only way out, will Your Majesty and the ministers follow?"

Speaking of which... Xun Yu paused again.

And as he paused, the atmosphere here became even quieter, and everyone's breathing could be clearly heard...

Seeing the surrounding silence, Xun Yu continued.

"These so-called 'rebels' are the most simple peasants. They rebelled because they had nowhere to go, joined the ranks of the Yellow Turbans, and became the current Black Mountain Army. Do they really have any great dreams of changing the world? Do they really want to overthrow the Han Dynasty and establish their own order?"

"No...what they want is to have enough food, to have clothes to wear, and to have a shelter from the cold...so, the minister and General Liu Zhonglang firmly believe that now...they are surrendering to the big man, as long as they are given some cultivated land, they will His family can farm with peace of mind, and His Majesty can still protect them. There is nothing better than a day like this! Not to mention rebellion again, even if someone really rebelled, these people will stand firm for their own good life. Your Majesty's side, to protect this hard-won day!"

——In the Hall of Long Live for a Thousand Years, everything is silent!

Emperor Liu Hong, Taiwei Qiaoxuan, Situ Yangci, Yushi Zhongcheng Sima Fang, Xiyuan School Captain Jian Shuo... and Grand Secretary Cao Song, everyone listened attentively.

What Xun Yu said was the conclusion he had discussed with Liu Yu...

And this conclusion makes people cry and shocking.

Liu Hong's eyes were deep, and he pondered for a moment, "Liu Qing and Xun Qing's thoughts are quite right. The Yellow Turban Army came from the peasants. How desperate they were, they pinned their hopes on the illusory Taiping Road, and hoped that the flood will come out." , "The end of the world is approaching" "Taiping Qing Ling Shu", pinned their hopes on the invisible and intangible "Yellow Sky", ah...ironic, so ironic!"

The words of Emperor Liu Hong... pushed the atmosphere here to another heavy extreme...

It was Yang Ci... His eyeballs rolled, and he was keenly aware of the loopholes in Xun Yu's words.

"No..."

Yang Ci said with emotion: "The discussion between Xun Qing and Guanzhu Liu has a huge premise, that is, to absorb the 30 Black Mountain Army, a large amount of cultivated land needs to be gifted to them? But where does this cultivated land come from?"
