Han Xiang

Chapter 249 High Risk High Reward
"Of course." Liu Ye nodded in affirmation, and immediately added: "Since the general is a pragmatic person, he should understand that ideals must be in line with reality. There are many Han clans in the world, and many people are no different from ordinary people. My lineage in Huainan is not bad. Be active, but if you want to support the Han Dynasty on your own, I am afraid that you will not be able to do it.”

Long Xiang glanced at Lu Su at this moment, and saw that the other party was nodding thoughtfully, as if affirming his opening, talking about the experience he had summed up from his previous work.

If you want to "invite the king into the urn", you must lay the groundwork in place, at least you must stand morally, and then talk about ideals, burdens, and benefits. This combination of boxing is like a mortgage. The Han Dynasty eventually perished (the economy collapsed), and the welfare of the Han clan clan members would also disappear.

"The Son of Heaven was held hostage by Cao Cao, and the burden of helping the Han Dynasty may fall on others." Long Xiang asked solemnly, "Zi Yang was called a talented person by Xu Zijiang. Who do you think is worthy of the great responsibility?"

"The general summoned me, could it be that he thought of me?"

Liu Ye hesitated to speak, and said in his heart that you really don't know, or are you asking this on purpose?Celebrities like Xu Shao are all picked up by the gentry and then fed back to the children of each family. If he is not a child of the Huainan Gao family, the other party will not speak at all.

During the Three Kingdoms and Two Jin Dynasties, because there were not many places for filial piety, many children of aristocratic families would "curve to save the country" and chose to become officials first as preparation officials. Xu Shao brothers' "Yuedan Evaluation" was successful because the demand side was very strong. Many people who took a different approach, such as Mi Heng, are famous for their madness.

The stories written in 24 filial piety, such as "caring for the deceased relatives of oranges" and "lying on the ice and begging for carp", are most likely the self-packaging of this period.

The protagonist Lu Ji is the uncle of the Lu Xun clan, and his father is Lu Kang, the prefect of Lujiang of Two Thousand Stones. How can his family lack oranges?Need six-year-old son to steal?
Lying on ice begging for carp The protagonist Wang Xiang was born in the Wang clan of Langya, a top gentry family in the Three Kingdoms and Jin Dynasties. If this kind of rich family wanted to eat fish, they would have their own servants to catch and buy it. It was absolutely impossible for the young master to go to Lying Bing.

Seeing that Liu Ye was thinking about it, Long Xiang quickly waved his hands to stop him: "Zi Yang, are you joking on purpose? I'll let you choose among the princes, and see if there is anyone who can turn the tide."

"Choose from the princes?"

Liu Ye rolled his eyes, and thought that it would be easy if he had a scope. Now there are only a handful of princes with the surname Liu, and only Liu Biao and Liu Zhang are left in the top ranks, but these two people can still guard a state, and they want to help the world unrealistic.

Recalling the conversation with Lu Su before, I remembered that Long Xiang clearly expressed his disdain for Liu Biao, Liu Ye turned his head and looked outside the hall, that was the direction where Zhang Fei lived temporarily, the answer seemed very obvious.

Long Xiang took a fancy to Liu Bei?He called me over today, could it be that he wants to ask my opinion?
He was too smart to tell, but he didn't know what he meant by mentioning Liu Bei, so Liu Ye cautiously asked: "The person who General Long said was turning the tide, could it be Liu Xuande, shepherd of Yuzhou?"

"If you talk about supporting the Han Dynasty, who else in the world is better?"

Long Xiang answered sonorously, and then turned to look at Lu Su in the hall, signaling that the other party should also say something.

Lu Su knowingly added: "Yun Qi has admired the emperor's uncle for a long time, he originally wanted to welcome the emperor's uncle to Hefei to start a family, but the emperor's uncle is going to make trouble in Runan, so Yun Qi plans to help with all his strength, I wonder what Ziyang's plan is?"

"What do you mean Zijing?" Liu Ye frowned.

Lu Su replied solemnly: "Cao Cao is the strongest in the world today, but Cao Cao's victory in Guandu seems to be able to reach the end. The emperor's uncle has been defeated many times over the years, but he is still tenacious. It is a pity that he lacks a mastermind." My friend, I asked Zi Yang to come here today to ask your opinion, are you willing to go to Runan to help? If Zi Yang has any difficulties, I will go there."

"I did the math just now, and it seems that Xuande is the only one who has fought Cao Cao the most and is still alive?" Liu Ye stared at Long Xiang and asked, "The general made a bet with me back then, and the bet was that I would not be allowed to vote. Cao Cao, could it be that you knew about this moment?"

Long Xiang smiled slightly: "The answer is correct."

"You should know what I am like. Although I am from a high clan, I have no ambitions."

Liu Ye nodded noncommittal, paused for a moment, and continued: "Frankly speaking, Runan is much more chaotic than Huainan. If General Long sincerely seeks refuge, I wonder why Liu Xuande didn't come? I admire Xuande very much, and I am willing to make a contribution to the Han family." I can't agree with him, but I don't agree with him."

Long Xiang solemnly explained: "The envoy once said that his name is Xuande. As the saying goes, those who are virtuous get it. He went to Huainan to sit and enjoy his success, so he had his own ideas. In addition, the envoy's uprising in Runan was to cooperate with Yuan Shao to fight against Cao Cao. If not, go to Jingzhou to ask Liu Biao for help."

"The lord of benevolence and virtue." Liu Ye muttered to himself, "If Xuande went to Jingzhou, he might fill Zhangxiu's place. Although Nanyang is close to Yingchuan, there is Liu Biao's support behind him. Then run around here and there, just..."

Lu Su walked up to the map shelf, pointed at the map with the small stick prepared by Long Xiang, and analyzed: "If the emperor goes to Jingzhou, there are currently three roads to choose from. The first one is the same as Zhang Xiu in the past. The Central Plains; the second is to replace Liu Jingsheng and take Jingzhou as the foundation; the third is to use Jingzhou as a springboard, and when there is turmoil in the surrounding area, enter Yizhou, Jiaozhou, Hanzhong or Guanzhong.”

Liu Ye shook his head lightly: "Forgive me, Liu Jingsheng is not a mediocre talent, how can he be a vassal? These three paths are not easy to follow, and the chances are very slim."

Long Xiang said solemnly: "Kuang Fu Han Dynasty, the four words are heavy, and there is no easy success in the world. I can help the first two of the three ways Zijing proposed just now. Someone has to try it. "

"Help?" Liu Ye was surprised when he heard that, "Hefei has few major generals, and they are beyond reach. How can the general help?"

"I don't have to do it myself. I can't ask others for help. Our neighbors in Jiangdong are very rich." Long Xiang said with a mysterious smile.

Liu Ye looked incredulous: "Sun Quan? Can he listen to you?"

Long Xiang disagreed: "That depends on the layout and planning. For example, if I help Jiangdong dig the Shifei Canal, do you think Sun Quan wants to capture the Central Plains? Will Cao Cao fortify it? In addition, Sun Quan and Huang Zu have a hatred for killing their fathers." , do you think he will march west to Jiangxia?"

"Make the best use of the situation and make profit for Xuande. The idea is very good, but it is difficult to implement."

At the end of Liu Ye's comment, he added a sentence: "From my point of view, among the three roads Zijing just had, the third one is the most stable. Except for Guanzhong, which is relatively close to the Central Plains, the other three are located in remote places, which can develop steadily and accumulate energy. Rui, but the geographical conditions are poor.”

Long Xiang frowned and shook his head: "I don't think so. High risk and high return, low risk and low return. Several border lands are poor and weak. Even if they win, they will only settle in one corner, and they will lose the opportunity to enter the Central Plains. Today's princes are the most powerful. Difficult to deal with, if he defeats Yuan Shao to unify the north, the rest of the princes will die slowly."

"The Meaning of General Dragon"

"While Yuan and Cao are fighting, take chestnuts from the fire. In short, no matter which way you choose, you must prevent Cao Cao from unifying the north."
