Han family achievements

Chapter 158 Guo Jia's Miscalculation and Jia Xu's Decision
At noon on the third day, Liu Bian returned to Luoyang, unaware that the backyard was on fire.

After entering the palace, he didn't go to see Empress Dowager He, but went straight to his palace.

Xu Yan has already checked the accounts at this moment. When Liu Bian came over, he quickly handed over the account books and said, "Your Majesty, the villain has finished counting. The total is 3000, [-], and the available ones are around [-]."

Liu Bian flipped through the account books, his brows twisted into twists.

The money mainly came from the harvest of the royal manors, gardens, mines, etc., and part of it was Liu Bian who sold a lot of land that Emperor Ling spent a lot of money to build forest gardens.

Liu Bian looked at the account book and said to himself: "If these forest gardens are opened up, and each person spends [-] or [-] yuan to play for a day, do you think it is feasible?"

Pan Yin opened his eyes, and said in surprise, "Your Majesty, do you want to open the Royal Garden?"

The first emperor still built a lot outside the palace, some were abandoned, some had no money to continue to repair, and now they are half dead.

Liu Bian looked at him and said, "Can you?"

Pan Yin hesitated, and said: "Your Majesty, I'm afraid this will damage the royal dignity, and the government and the public may think that your majesty is too greedy for money and damages the sanctity."

The corners of Liu Bian's mouth twitched. He still cared about his reputation, and the plaque of "Emperor Shengde" that he had painstakingly created could not be discredited at will.

After thinking about it, he still gave up. Liu Bian threw the account book to Xu Yan and said, "That's it. Qianzhuang, Taichang, Pan Yin, please watch. If there is any news about Xun Yu in Jizhou, please let me know immediately." .”

"Yes." Pan Yin bowed his head.

A court lady hurried over and saluted: "Your Majesty, the Empress Dowager is here to invite you."

Liu Bian looked back at her, hummed, and was still thinking about how to raise money.

Disaster relief needs money and food, reforms need money, and a huge army also needs money!

Now the army's expeditions are basically "self-raised". If this continues, even if the leading generals have no other thoughts, the soldiers will weaken their recognition of the imperial court, which directly promotes the formation of warlords and feudal towns.

Unknowingly came to Yongle Palace, Empress Dowager He was already playing with the dishes.

Liu Bian smelled the aroma, his stomach growled immediately, he sat down at the table and picked up the chopsticks to eat, and said: "Queen Mother, what's the matter with calling me here?"

Seeing this, Empress Dowager He pushed two pieces of soup cakes in front of him, and said with a smile on her face: "Eat slowly. I heard that you personally named the Fushou of Buqihou and Princess Yang'an's family?"

Liu Bian stuttered, hummed, and said, "It was chosen by Liu Xie."

Empress Dowager He's originally happy face froze for a moment, and she frowned and said, "What do you choose for him? There is only one Tang Ji in your palace. I think Fushou is very good. The one from the eldest princess's family is just right. Although she is younger, But it's just right to be your queen in a few years."

Liu Bian couldn't stop eating, and said vaguely: "It's for outsiders to see, let him get married as soon as possible, and marry him in due time, so as to put an end to some people's delusions..."

Empress Dowager He didn't hear it very clearly. Seeing that Liu Bian still refused to accept the harem, she stared at him with displeasure and said, "I can tell you, I heard the wind. You have been running out of the palace from time to time recently, I don’t return home at night, and the courtiers’ remonstrance notes are piled up on my table.”

Liu Bian coughed dryly, drank the soup quickly, and said, "Mother, I am worried that Buqihou and the eldest princess will not agree. If you are fine, take Liu Xie to the Buqihou's mansion for a while, and explain what you have to say."

Empress Dowager He snorted coldly and said, "Let that old woman go, I'm not free!"

Before finishing speaking, Empress Dowager He got up and left, obviously not wanting to waste any more time with this stubborn son.

Liu Bian didn't care, just ate by himself.

The so-called "Princess Yang'an Chang" is the eldest daughter of Emperor Huan. Because Emperor Huan had no children, Emperor Ling was dragged to succeed him. Therefore, Liu Bian's family has no direct blood relationship with this Princess Yang'an and is not close.

And Empress Dowager He wished to kill Liu Xie, so it was impossible to take Liu Xie to act.

While eating, Liu Bian thought that he had to go to Shou'an Hall later.

And at this moment, Liu Bian's will has arrived in Yanzhou.

The first to receive it was Cao Cao who suppressed bandits in Chenliu County.

He sat in the tent, looked at the imperial edict of "transfer back to Beijing, and another appointment", and peeped at Guo Jia face to face, all of them looked in disbelief.

Cao Cao had various speculations about himself and Guo Jia about Cao Cao's future development, but he never thought that he would be transferred back to Beijing!

Cao Cao's face gradually darkened, his long and narrow eyes kept flickering, and he said after a while, "Feng Xiao, do you think it's because His Majesty is going to order me to conquer Yuan Shu, so he's sending me back to Beijing for the time being?"

Guo Jia shook his head, equally puzzled, did not drink from the jug, and said, "Dong Zhuo leads the army as a captain. He has not been deprived of his commander-in-chief status, and the general will not be able to pass. This decree may have other meanings." .”

Cao Cao couldn't figure it out. He went north to Jizhou, east to Qingzhou, and south to Yuzhou. He guessed it over and over again, but he never thought that it would be "transferred back to Beijing for another appointment".

After thinking about it, Cao Cao still couldn't figure it out, so he looked at Guo Jia and said slowly, "Feng Xiao, do you think it's because of those impeachments?"

Throughout Cao Cao’s journey, all kinds of impeachments were not missing. This time he went to Yanzhou, and there were more than 20 impeachments before he left Beijing. After so many days, they have never been interrupted. I don’t know how much they have accumulated!

Guo Jia knew what Cao Cao was worried about, so he took a sip of his wine, still thinking about it, and said, "No. Judging from this decree, the imperial court has other plans for the general, but I can't think of where it is. "

At present, there are wars, and they are all near Yanzhou. What is the purpose of transferring Cao Cao back to Beijing?
Cao Cao has followed the route of a military general, so he cannot be a local prefect or state shepherd, nor can he enter the Shangshutai.

Could it be the Da Sima Mansion?

Cao Cao and Guo Jia were puzzled, and doubts abounded in their hearts.

Xiahou Dun came in from the outside at this time, wiped the blood on his face, and said, "Meng De, the suppression is over, there are more than 300 people, and there are more than 30 women and children inside."

Cao Cao was no longer surprised, and said, "Let the people in Chenliu County settle it."

Xiahou Dun nodded, and said again: "By the way, Ding Shijun sent someone to bring a message, saying that there is another influx of Yellow Turban bandits in Taishan County, and ordered you to go and suppress them."

Cao Cao snorted, and said loudly: "He directs me more and more smoothly! Tell him, Cao Cao refuses to agree, let Ding Shijun find someone else!"

Xiahou Dun turned his head and looked outside, and heard footsteps moving away, so he said, "Meng De, what is this?"

Cao Cao got up annoyed, and said: "Reorganize the army, send an order to the Miaocai of Shanyang County, don't move for now, don't listen to anyone's order!"

Before Cao Cao finished speaking, he had strode out of the tent.

Xiahou Dun was puzzled, looked at Guo Jia and said, "Military Master, this is Meng De?"

Guo Jia stood up, handed the imperial edict on the table to Xiahou Dun, and followed him out.

Xiahou Dun glanced at the imperial edict, and couldn't help chasing after Guo Jia, saying, "Military Master, is Meng De to be blamed for Zhang Miao's rebellion?"

……

Sanyang County, Changyi.

Lu Bu, who was injured by wine and sex, has been injured more recently, his face is haggard, his eyes are tired, and his spirit is very listless.

At this moment, holding a long gun, he stood at the top of the city, looking towards the direction of Jizhou, and sighed from time to time.

Gao Shun stood aside silently, his eyes were bright, and he showed no sign of depression.

"Master Book! Master Book!"

Suddenly, a small official hurried up and said anxiously: "The imperial court's decree, go and receive the decree!"

Lu Bu didn't take it seriously, and said, "Let the foster father pick it up, it's none of my business."

Lu Bu's official position was the head of Ding Yuan's shogunate, which was a kind of official position that was biased towards private individuals, with a dangerous position but a low rank.Therefore, in the eyes of people other than Ding Yuan, Lu Bu is just an insignificant person.

"No, it's specially for the master book, it's His Majesty's will!" The little official said excitedly.

Lu Bu turned his head abruptly, his eyes widened, and he shouted, "Say it again?"

The little official was also a person who had followed Lü Bu for many years, so he was neither surprised nor surprised, and said, "I have inquired about it, and it is said that the master is going to be canonized as a school lieutenant, and lead the troops to Xuzhou to quell the chaos!"

Lu Bu pushed him away and strode towards the State Shepherd's Mansion.

When there was no one in the front hall, Lu Bu went straight to the back hall.

As soon as he entered the door, he saw Ding Yuan drinking tea leisurely, and there was no one else.

Lv Bu was startled, he didn't see the angel, he stepped forward and said doubtfully, "Father, someone told me that there is an angel..."

Ding Yuan put down his tea cup with a smile, pushed the imperial decree in front of him, and said: "You are late, so I will take it for you as a father. Your Majesty ordered you to be the captain of Pinglu, transferred to Xuzhou, and assigned by Xuzhou Mu. , to stop Yuan Shu's rebels and regain Xuzhou's lost ground..."

Before he could finish speaking, Lu Bu had already removed the imperial decree. Looking at the clearly written decree, Lu Bu's eyes were red with excitement.

Ding Yuan stared at Lu Bu's expression, his eyes flashed with anger, and he smiled immediately: "Fengxian, I didn't know that you have such a relationship in Beijing, why didn't you tell Weifu earlier?"

In Ding Yuan's mind, Lu Bu has jumped from a little-known master to become a captain of Pinglu. The span is not insignificant. Without a strong recommendation, it is impossible!
Lu Bu was stunned, looked at Ding Yuan and said, "Father, didn't you recommend the child?"

Ding Yuan frowned, and immediately let go, stood up, stroked his beard and said, "It's okay if you don't want to say it. This time when you go to Xuzhou, you must be brave enough to suppress the bandits. I have prepared 2000 people and 5000 shi of grain for you. If you recruit on your own along the way, you must have at least [-] people, otherwise you will die without knowing how.”

Seeing Ding Yuan's tone getting serious, Lu Bu felt uneasy, raised his hand and said in a deep voice, "Father, this child also finds it strange, is there someone who wants to separate us from father and son?"

Ding Yuan also thought about this possibility in his heart. Looking at Lu Bu's expression, he didn't look like a fake, his smile remained unchanged, and said, "Father, I don't care about this. I have some friendship with Governor Xu, and I will write a letter to him later. With him, there must be my name, and he will take care of you more. If things don’t go well, just come back.”

Lu Bu breathed a sigh of relief, knelt down on one knee and said, "My son, thank you foster father!"

Ding Yuan still suspects that his adoptive son has found some kind of backer in Beijing, and wants to abandon his crumbling adoptive father.

Dan Dingyuan didn't tear his face apart, thinking that if the court inquired about the crime in the future, he would still have to rely on Lu Bu's backing.

Ding Yuan pulled Lu Bu up, and the father and son were in harmony, as usual.

……

Chen Guo, Chen County.

Chen Guo and Shanyang County are on the border, and the decree arrived at about the same time.

Dong Zhuo looked at this decree, looked at Niu Fu and Jia Xu with surprise on his face, and said: "One hundred thousand troops, the imperial court is reassuring me, old man?"

Niu Fu ate the roasted lamb, his face was covered with oil, and he said, "Father, believe it or not, the key is to get a hundred thousand troops!"

Dong Zhuo didn't move his old face, blinked his eyes, and turned to Jia Xu.

Jia Xu pondered for a while, and said: "Dong Gong, Yu, Jing, Xu, and the three prefectures sound nice, but in fact, Dong Gong can only mobilize the 3 people in his hand."

With hope on his face, Dong Zhuo said, "Isn't there any benefit?"

Jia Xu remained calm, seeing some oily stains on her white skirt from the corner of her eye, she felt extremely uncomfortable, as if a lump stuck in her throat, took a deep breath, suppressed the discomfort, and said to Dong Zhuo, "It's not all good news, this decree, It clearly says one hundred thousand troops, and in the future Dong Gong will expand his army to one hundred thousand, and the court will not be able to criticize him."

Dong Zhuo opened his small eyes, and then said happily: "Good! Good! Good!"

After laughing for a while, Dong Zhuo picked up the wine glass, took a sip, and said: "Then, order me to lead the army to attack, what should I do?"

Jia Xu was still on the oil stain out of the corner of his eye, feeling uncomfortable, and said, "It's not difficult to defeat Yuan Shu, the key is not to completely defeat Yuan Shu, you have to be careful."

Dong Zhuo knew immediately that Jia Xu had made up his mind, his old face blossomed, and he said with a smile: "Then Yuan Shu doesn't take me seriously, so I will teach Yuan Fenghao a lesson!"

Niu Fu gulped down the meat, swallowed it whole, and said, "Yifu, when will you send troops?"

Dong Zhuo's small eyes turned cold, and he said with a smile: "Wait a few more days, let the people in the court be anxious."

Jia Xu didn't say a word, she stared at the oil stain, wanted to wipe it off, but was worried that it would be bigger, so she unconsciously frowned, feeling more and more entangled and uncomfortable.

"Mr. Dong!"

Zhang Ji strode in with a gloomy face, and said: "Then Yuan Shu sent people to call out again, and insulted Dong Gongzu all over!"

"What a kid, Yuan Shu!"

Dong Zhuo was furious, looked at Jia Xu, stared at him and said, "Wen He, what can you do to vent this anger on behalf of the old man?"

Jia Xu looked away from the drop of oil with difficulty, and said, "Yuan Shu can scold, but Mr. Dong can't do it?"

Dong Zhuo looked at Jia Xu, a little unresponsive.

Jia Xu's eyes were as cold as snakes, and he said: "Dong Gong, since Yuan Shu's rebellion, it has been too smooth, without setbacks, I am afraid that he will not be able to stand the stimulation of Dong Gong's words, so he will definitely come here."

The smile on Dong Zhuo's face gradually increased, and he said with a big laugh, "Wenhe is a clever plan!"

After finishing speaking, he looked at Zhang Ji, and said, "Withdraw, and let Yuan Shu scold you to his heart's content today!"

Zhang Ji didn't hear any clever plan at all, Dong Zhuo raised his hand and said, "Yes."

Dong Zhuo withdrew his troops, but Yuan Shu's camp continued to yell and curse.

Gao Lan rode in front of the camp, walking back and forth with impatience on his face.

Qu Yi defeated Gongsun Zan, Wen Chou defeated Hua Xiong, but he fought for many days, and the opponent couldn't shrink back. He wanted to make meritorious service but failed.

Not far away, Yuan Shu was sitting on a horse, facing the direction of Chen County, he laughed and said, "The old thief Dong Zhuo is so cowardly, let alone a hundred thousand, what if you give him a million troops!"

Obviously, Yuan Shu knew the imperial decree from Luoyang first.
