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

Walking out of Cao Jie's mansion...

The originally cloudy sky suddenly became clearer.

call…

With a long exhalation, Liu Yu got into her carriage, but she never thought...in the carriage, Zhang Yulan was waiting here.

"lady?"

"Going back to Luoyang, don't you know how to go back to Yulin Temple first?"

Uh…

This is a bit embarrassing.

As the saintess of the Five Dou Rice Sect, she has helped Liu Yu a lot, but... as a husband and wife, in fact... Liu Yu's feelings for her are far from that deep.

Marrying her as a wife is more for the last wish of the master before his death.

"Madam came here on a special trip, isn't it just to pick me up?" Liu Yu joked.

this…

Obviously, Zhang Yulan's big eyes blinked, and she breathed softly, "Brother has sent a letter..."

brother?

The elder brother from Zhang Yulan's mouth is naturally Zhang Lu, the leader of the Five Dou Rice Sect in Heming Mountain in Bashu, and the third generation of Tianshi Dao.

It seems...During this time, Zhang Lu, the celestial master, spared no effort in helping Liu Yu, but he didn't ask for anything.

This made Liu Yu very embarrassed.

"Brother, is there any trouble?"

"Yes!" Zhang Yulan nodded, "Rebellions among the people in Bashu are rampant, and the government is unable to deal with it...Although my elder brother is the leader of the Five Dou Rice Sect and the celestial master of the Tao, but... in terms of countering the rebellion, I have more than enough heart but not enough power. what!"

just like…

There are too many people from other ethnic groups in Bashu, such as the Di people...they are very tough.

In addition, Bashu is far away from the Central Plains, and it is a place where the imperial court cannot set foot or intervene. The local officials are naturally corrupt... I am afraid it is even worse than Jinan. ...Because there are many mountainous areas in the area, it is extremely troublesome to pacify it. It can be regarded as...a big problem for a big man.

Previously...although there were these problems, but...after all, it did not affect the development of the Five Dou Rice Sect.

Now...since Zhang Lu came here with a letter in person, if you want to come...

"What do you think, ma'am?"

Liu Yu looked up at Zhang Yulan...

Zhang Yulan blinked her big eyes, "My husband is the great man of the Han Dynasty, and the affairs of the princes and the nation are the husband's job...how can you ask me?"

Well this...

Liu Yu thought for a while... couldn't help but fell into deep thought.

In fact, according to the original trajectory of history, Bashu was in chaos... but it did not affect the development of the Five Dou Rice Sect.

In the final analysis, although Liu Yan’s abolition of history and establishment of animal husbandry accelerated the collapse and disintegration of the Han Dynasty, to a certain extent, it was to concentrate local power, and to a certain extent... to reduce local rebellions, especially in remote areas. From this aspect Look... abolishing history and establishing animal husbandry is positive, but now...

As if...Because the governor is still the governor, the policy of abolishing the history and establishing the animal husbandry is aborted, and chaos is rampant in Yizhou. This is a new challenge.

"perhaps…"

After pondering for a long time, Liu Yu said: "Perhaps we can start the plan to integrate politics and religion."

"The unity of politics and religion?" Zhang Yulan was startled... "Will His Majesty agree?"

Apparently, this is not the first time Liu Yu proposed this concept to her...

The key question is... will His Majesty agree?
In the past, Taiping Dao relied on "educating" the people to rebel, but now... boldly proposed to use five buckets of rice to teach and educate the people of Bashu... Is this reliable?
From Zhang Yulan's eyes full of doubts, Liu Yu could see enough... the doubts in her heart.

"Actually, you can try it... everything depends on the results!"

Just as Liu Yu thought, under the current situation of feudal monarchy, those remote areas...the traffic is not smooth, the letter paper is not smooth, and the court just talks about governance?What to treat?

The best way... is to build faith in the local area, the power of faith is often infinite!

Of course...Nowadays, the idea of ​​unity of politics and religion is just Liu Yu's wishful thinking...

but…

Liu Yu waved her hand, "Let's not talk about this, is there any news from Qingzhou recently?"

"You mean? Cao Cao?" Zhang Yulan asked.

"No..." Liu Yu asked deeply, "After Zhang Jiao, Zhang Bao, and Zhang Liang were killed, those Yellow Turbans who hid in hiding, what happened to them?"

this…

Zhang Yulan shook her head lightly, "It seems that apart from occupying the mountain as king and plundering merchants, there is nothing else she is doing."

call…

Liu Yu let out a sigh of relief, feeling emotionally, "It seems that big brother Cao Cao... has not caught up with the progress!"

...

...

"Recruitment?"

When Guan Hai heard these two words, he thought he had heard it wrong.

Cao Cao, the Prime Minister of Jinan, unexpectedly came to the border of Beihai to recruit them on behalf of the emperor...

You know, although this Yellow Turban Army composed of Qingzhou people is not like the Black Mountain and Baibo Army with millions of troops, it can be calculated that their number is not less than 20...

And in the fertile land of the North...

Cottages are next to cottages, and legions are connected to legions. Many times, families and houses are looted... merchants are robbed, mountains are kings... that is a response to everyone.

The looted things... are enough for their expenses...

The government talks about clearing up and suppressing every day, but what will happen in the end?

Don't even dare to put a fart, and even...have to rob the common people, pretending to be credited...

In exchange for merit and promotion.

This incident almost made the Yellow Turban Army of Qingzhou laugh out loud, and now... Cao Cao actually came to recruit them on behalf of the government?Is this a bit funny?

At least...in He Man's opinion...it's funny!

"I have food and clothes here, and if we unite, even the local government will not dare to touch me? Why should I accept your offer? Do you want to be that bullied farmer again?"

He Man pointed at Cao Cao angrily and said angrily, "Oh... I can see that it is the officers and soldiers who killed the common people, and no one killed them to pretend to be credited, so this is fooling us? Hahaha... I If we accept your offer, we will be the biggest fools in the world!"

As if... He Man did not welcome Cao Cao's arrival.

Cao Cao didn't expect that...in the eyes of these Yellow Turban soldiers, he would be such an uninvited guest. It seems...this is somewhat different from the plan mentioned by Brother Liu.

Thinking about this...

Cao Cao couldn't help but recall that day.

The third brother Liu Yu came late at night, and he talked with Liu Yu and his father Cao Song all night by candlelight.

Cao Song couldn't believe it when he saw Liu Yuyou... "Guardian Liu...is there any way to lose so much money?"

Cao Cao seemed to have made up his mind all of a sudden: "Since the third brother has come here at this time, there must be a way to get the best of both worlds!"

The so-called method of achieving both is to preserve the Cao family without compromising with those "black and evil forces"... This is very difficult, but... because it is Liu Yu, Cao Cao has become very confident.

"My solution is...to use the greedy Cao family to recruit the Yellow Turban Army in Qingzhou, just like I recruited the Black Mountain Army...Because a large number of family members of these Yellow Turban Army need to be resettled, so...it is reasonable to spend more money from the treasury , and the old man Cao has been a chief minister for so many years, and it is not easy to fill in the loopholes in the accounts of this kind of recruitment... "

In the wide eyes of Cao Cao and Cao Song...

Liu Yu's words continued, "What's more, this time it's the eldest brother who has made great contributions and was rewarded by His Majesty. His Majesty also has the heart to reform the government. Zhang Rang has taken the liberty to sue Cao Dasinong. It's a dangerous move...Once you don't sue, the backlash will be extremely strong...And I...just use this opportunity to completely overthrow the ten servants and let someone who knows the bottom line take charge of the eunuch!"

Liu Yu's voice is not loud...

But every word is sonorous and forceful, and the most important thing...this method...is the only lifeline in the desperate situation?
call…

Cao Song let out a long breath.

Cao Cao is eager to try, and he can recruit the Yellow Turban Army, solve the Cao family's predicament, and suppress the ten permanent servants, kill three birds with one stone, kill three birds with one stone...

Where can I find such a good thing?

It's just that... after a brief surprise, Cao Song asked a question, "These Yellow Turbans from Qingzhou...will they accept the recruitment?"

Liu Yu's answer to this question was firm - "Yes! They will definitely accept the recruitment!"

It was also because of Liu Yu's extremely firm tone...Cao Cao brought Xia Houyuan here...

But it seems... for Zhaoan, the other party's reaction was very strong, very violent!
"We don't need hypocrisy from the imperial court here. If Cao Guoxiang wants to attack us, he will accompany you at any time... come and see off guests!" He Yan continued...

Here... He Yan has issued an order to evict guests.

Over there, Cao Cao was in a daze, which was different from what the third brother predicted.

For Liu Yu, Cao Cao has always been convinced, and he has never made any mistakes in calculating the exhaustive strategy.

Can…

Cao Cao didn't know what to do here.

Sudden…

Two yellow turban thieves came in outside the big tent... It looked like the little leader of the yellow turban thieves.

One of them is Xu He, and the other is Bian Xi.

"The head of the family..." Xu He said: "Cao Guoxiang brought a lot of money and food... Calculated, it is enough to feed 10 of us for more than a month..."

Bian Xi said: "It seems that Cao Guoxiang's trip is full of sincerity! No wonder... everyone in Jinan praises Cao Guoxiang. It seems that Cao Guoxiang is really a straightforward person!"

Contrary to the attitude of "Jian Tian Ya Sha" He Man, Xu He and Bian Xi seem to welcome Cao Cao's arrival...

"You..." He Man didn't expect...these two people would "rebel" so easily?

Without waiting for He Man to speak...

"The visitor is a guest..." Guan Hai, who was sitting in the main seat, opened his mouth and said, "Since you are a guest, then sit down..."

He pointed to the last seat, Cao Cao didn't dislike it, and knelt down here, while Xia Houyuan looked around vigilantly.

"Cao Guoxiang wants to recruit us? I just don't know... Is this Cao Guoxiang's meaning? Or Jinan country's meaning?" Guan Hai asked proactively.

While talking, he didn't forget to play with the tip of the gun in his hand... Where the rag had been wiped, there were crystal clear spots, which looked extraordinarily austere.

Cao Cao was neither humble nor overbearing: "It is neither my intention nor the intention of Jinan Kingdom, but the imperial court's intention, the emperor's intention!"

Well…

Cao Cao's words startled Guan Hai.

"Hahahaha..." He Man laughed, "You are the Prime Minister of Jinan, why should you represent the court? Why should you represent the emperor? Are you worthy? Hahaha..."

As if, He Man didn't believe it no matter what.

"That's easy to say..." Cao Cao was not angry, and replied with a smile: "There is a difference between the gold circulating among the people and the gold in the Han treasury. The gold base of the Dahan treasury is inlaid with a special official seal. There is a shortage of food and gold, and you will know it at a glance..."

Cao Cao's confident expression left everyone silent...

Could it be that it was really sent by the imperial court to summon security?

Immediately, Xu He and Bian Xi laughed and chatted with Cao Cao, while He Man frowned, interjecting occasionally, making sarcastic remarks...

Guan Hai never made a statement... But it can be seen with the naked eye that his expression is much gentler than when he first met Cao Cao.

"Cough cough..."

After chatting for a while, Guan Hai coughed lightly, "Okay, Cao Guoxiang came here from a long distance, and the journey must be exhausting, why not take a rest in the village for a whole day, and we can discuss the matter of 'recruitment' tomorrow morning? OK?"

gentle attitude...

The change in Guan Hai's attitude made Cao Cao's heart drop a lot. Sure enough... the third brother is right. Although... some people in this yellow scarf are not willing to accept recruitment, but most of them are still willing to recruit security. After all, After all, who would want to carry the name of a traitor for the rest of his life?
"I really feel a little tired after the boss said so, then, I will leave!"

Cao Cao bowed his hand and bid farewell to everyone...

After all, I walked out of the big tent first, and went down to a side tent led by the yellow scarf soldiers. Xia Houyuan followed Cao Cao...

"Brother, does this... make sense?"

Don't look at Xia Houyuan who is neither humble nor arrogant, but in fact, his whole body is trembling...

To put it bluntly, they are here to recruit...

To put it bluntly, these people are all Yellow Turban soldiers. In the eyes of the court and officers and soldiers... they are vicious and vicious!
In case one is bad...

He and his elder brother Cao Cao didn't even know how they died!

As for Xia Houyuan's question.

Is there a spectrum?
Ha ha…

Cao Cao smiled wryly, "I don't know!"

"Then... let's..."

"Don't be afraid!" Cao Cao narrowed his eyes when he saw the yellow-turban soldier leading the way away, and said softly, "The third brother expected this situation...and tell me how to break the situation!"

"Then... what should we do?" Xia Houyuan asked eagerly.

Cao Cao narrowed his eyes, "Third Brother said... While preparing the treasury's gold, silver and jewelry, you must also prepare... the mace!"

Mace?
Xia Houyuan was startled, a little confused.

Cao Cao's eyes became even colder, "Mace...hehe, this mace is a good thing!"

...

...

"His Majesty is here!"

With a loud cry in Deyang Hall, all the maids and Xiao Huangmen who were busy at the palace banquet bent down and lowered their heads.

Speaking of...

We are preparing for tomorrow's banquet here.

Dahonglu Liuyu defeated Wuhuan in one battle... This banquet was arranged for him by the emperor Liu Hong, and it was a great honor and reward.

"You don't need to salute, go to your own business!"

Liu Hong waved his hands and smiled... while continuing to walk deep into the Deyang Hall.

Jian Shuo reported: "According to His Majesty's instructions, this time to celebrate Liu Dahong's achievements, not only all the officials in the imperial city with more than [-] shi are required to participate, but even the royal family members, princes and nobles from the four prefectures of Si, Xu, Yan, and Henan Invite them too!"

Heard this report...

Jian Shuo looked around again, because there were so many courtiers, the huge Deyang Hall was full of tables and seats.

It looks a bit crowded...

"It's better to have more people." Liu Hong smiled and said with emotion: "The more people are lively...the more people are, the better the performance!"

just like…

There is something in Liu Hong's words...

Jian Shuo rolled his eyes, how could he not understand His Majesty's meaning...

Immediately, he shouted loudly:
"Everyone cheer up... Tomorrow will be the triumphant return of Liu Dahongyu, and Wuhuan will be defeated in the first battle. What a grand event this is!"

...
