Han family achievements

Chapter 173
Shangshutai, the prime minister is in charge of the house.

Yang Biao sat in the first place, flanked by Wang Yun, Xun You, Huang Fusong, and Cao Cao.

Yang Biao sat upright, with a dignified expression, and said: "Your Majesty agrees to question Dong Zhuo, please tell me what to do."

To question Dong Zhuo is not a trivial matter. Not only public opinion, but also the tens of thousands of elite soldiers in his hands must be taken into consideration.

When Cao Cao heard the words, he said in a deep voice, "The lower officials object."

Wang Yun looked at him and said indifferently: "Cao Mengde, you are just attending and don't need to speak."

Cao Cao snorted coldly, and said, "Even if Dong Zhuo is guilty and deserves to die, this is not the time. The imperial court should be generous and appease, and act at the right time! Whoever gave such advice to His Majesty should be executed immediately!"

Wang Yun's expression sank, and he said: "Cao Mengde, this is Shangshutai, don't be presumptuous!"

"I don't agree either,"

Huangfu Song interjected at the right time, saying: "Prince, Prime Minister, Dong Zhuo is a Taiwei and Zuocheng, leading Yuzhou pastoralists, has tens of thousands of elites in his hands, and has made great achievements in suppressing the rebellion. No matter which one, we can't move him for the time being."

Wang Yun waved his hand on the small table in front of him, and said in a cold tone, "These are the memorabilia of the impeachment of Dong Zhuo. There are more than [-] copies of the county guard at the first level, more than a hundred copies of famous people from aristocratic families, and the bitter masters of the common people. There are hundreds of people in the front line, is Da Sima turning a blind eye and listening to it?"

Cao Cao's long and narrow eyes flashed contempt, and said: "If the news leaks out and Dong Zhuo plots rebellion openly, how will the court respond? Who will be responsible?"

Wang Yun wished to drive Cao Cao out, looked directly at Huangfusong, and said: "That's why Shang Shutai and the Grand Sima Mansion carefully planned to take down Dong Zhuo in one fell swoop, and completely solve this disaster!"

"What is the prince's plan?" Cao Cao asked again.

The corners of Wang Yun's eyes twitched, he suppressed his anger, and said: "My idea is to pretend to deliver money and food to Dong Zhuo, and order him to come and pick it up in person, with ambush at his side, and take him down!"

"Can this kind of strategy be able to deal with Dong Zhuo?" Cao Cao sat there, his narrow eyes narrowed, and his head slightly raised. Even if he had no expression, he gave people a sense of contempt.

Wang Yun turned to Cao Cao abruptly, and said in a dull tone, "Do you think there are too few memorials to impeach you? Or do you think Shang Shutai is forgetful?"

Cao Cao opened his eyes, and anger surged in his heart.

This Wang Yun, stupid and arrogant, arrogant and narrow-minded, actually threatened him in public!

Xun You, who had been silent all this time, saw that Wang Yun and Cao Cao were about to quarrel, so he hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, General Cao, the matter is very important, don't be arrogant."

Wang Yun snorted, thinking about how to deal with Cao Cao, and said to Xun You, "What's your opinion, Minister Xun?"

Xun You also had no plans, and said, "We can make a test first and order Dong Zhuo to go to Beijing to receive the reward. Whether he agrees or not, we can order Gongsun Zan to enter Runan, Chen State, and Liang State from Yingchuan as soon as possible, and occupy at least half of Yuzhou. Dong Zhuo is divided into courts. Then order Tao Qian of Xuzhou and Wang Rui of Jingzhou to carve up Yuzhou as much as possible and reduce Dong Zhuo's sphere of influence..."

Cao Cao didn't care about Wang Yun, his face was thoughtful, and he said: "Yuan Shu's withdrawal from Yangzhou is always a serious problem, and it must be eradicated as soon as possible."

His meaning is very simple, neither Dong Zhuo nor Yuan Shu are good enemies, but there must be an order.

Xun You glanced at Cao Cao, then turned to Huangfusong.

Huangfu Song understood what he meant, pondered for a moment, and said: "The Da Sima Mansion has no plans for now."

Xun You was taken aback, what does it mean to have no plans?
Yang Biao continued with a stern face, "The national treasury is in dire straits, and the three prefectures of Xu, Qing, and Ji are in turmoil. Apart from Dong Zhuo, the imperial court is powerless to further punish Yuan Shu."

"Must it be delayed until after the summer harvest?" The anger in Wang Yun's heart surged up.He could see that Yang Biao and Huangfusong had a tacit understanding!
Such a big matter was discussed without telling him!
Yang Biao looked down at him, and said calmly: "What is the prince's countermeasure?"

Wang Yun's face was livid, he opened his mouth to speak but could not utter a word.He was very angry with Yang Biao and Huangfusong in his heart!
Is it such a perfunctory thing about rebellion?

Cao Cao glanced at Yang Biao from the corner of his eye, with dissatisfaction in his eyes.

It's too easy for the prime minister to do it!

"Come in." Huangfusong said suddenly.

Without waiting for everyone's reaction, Xu Yan from outside the door walked in, handed over two memorials, and said, "Great Sima, emergency memorials for Yuzhou and Jingzhou."

Huangfusong took it silently, and opened the first one, which was Dong Zhuo's memorabilia asking for credit and money.

After reading it, he took out the second one, just glanced at it, and couldn't help but frown slightly.

Everyone was staring at him, even such small movements could not escape Wang Yun's eyes, he stretched out his head and said, "Da Sima, what happened?"

Huangfu Song thought for a while, without concealing anything, he said: "The first memorial is Dong Zhuo asking for credit and asking for military pay."

At this point, everyone didn't care at all.

Huangfusong hesitated for a moment, then said: "The second is Jingzhou's memorabilia. It is said that Wen Yi, the envoy of the case, issued an appeal, accusing Jingzhou governor Wang Rui of corruption and lawlessness, oppressing officials and people, and calling on all counties to send troops to crusade. Wang Rui accused Wuling prefect Cao Yin attached rebellion, and summoned the county guards in Jingzhou to discuss it together."

The others were astonished when they heard the words, and looked at each other.

This Jingzhou is in chaos again?
Wang Yun looked gloomy, and said: "Jingzhou must not be chaotic!"

Everyone looked at me and I looked at you, but no one made a sound, acquiescing to Wang Yun's words.

Liu Yu in Youzhou was held back by Wuhuan and Xianbei, Ying Shao in Jizhou was suppressing bandits, Zhu Jun in Qingzhou was mired in the quagmire of the Yellow Turban Army, the chaos in Xuzhou was uncertain, Yuan Shu in Yuzhou had just been defeated, and now there is civil strife in Jingzhou.

All the pressure was sent to the court in an instant!

Yang Biao's chubby face tightened, he was more serious than ever, and said: "The most important thing now is to do our best to ensure that Xia's taxes are raised as much as possible!"

To deal with these incidents, the most important thing is the word 'money and food'!
Without waiting for other people to react, Yang Biao looked at Huangfusong and said, "The Da Sima Mansion needs to come up with a specific strategy, and we will meet with His Majesty later with the real minister!"

Huangfu Song leaned over and said, "Okay."

Wang Yun still cared about Dong Zhuo in his heart, he was unwilling and angry, he thought over and over again, and said in a deep voice: "After Xia Harvest, please lead the army in person, join forces with five states, and put down Dong Zhuo and Yuan Shu as soon as possible!"

Huangfusong looked at him, but didn't speak.

It is not a few years ago now, when the imperial court spent millions of dollars to deal with the Qiang invasion, followed by the Yellow Turban Rebellion, the uninterrupted conquests not only emptied the treasury, but also drained the common people.

The current situation is that the court and the common people are weak at both ends, only the aristocratic families are not thin and fat.

It is impossible to gather tens of thousands of troops from five states to fight like before!
What's more, all places are not peaceful, and the money and food from the summer tax are completely drop in the bucket.

Cao Cao looked at the crowd with narrow eyes, silently.He had been in Da Sima Mansion for some time, he could understand Huangfusong's concerns, and fell into deep thought.

Xun You watched coldly, shaking his head secretly.

'Let's wait for Shi Zhonglu to discuss. '

Xun You could see that nothing could be discussed here.

……

There was a lot of commotion at Shangshutai, Liu Bian was in the arsenal, inspecting the latest weapons and equipment.

After turning around, Liu Bian came to the courtyard, and carefully rode the big white horse under him. Seeing that it was docile, after walking for a long time, he said to Zhao Yun in peace: "This horse is not bad, did it come from Xiliang? "

Zhao Yun followed closely beside Liu Bian, raised his head and said, "Yes. It was sent back by Lieutenant Zhong Tingwei, a total of 120 horses."

Liu Bian touched the horse's hair, and saw that this horse was much stronger than the others, and said with a smile: "Well, Zhongqing's family really lived up to my expectations. With these horse breeds, the horse farm of the Forbidden Army camp is finally useful. gone."

Zhao Yun is a man who loves horses, and he followed Liu Bian, wanting to reach out to touch them several times, but then retracted.

"His Majesty."

Pan Yin trotted in, looking flustered and excited, holding a notebook in his hand, and hurriedly shouted: "Your Majesty..."

Liu Bian was worried that the horse would be irritable at any time, so he was cautious, glanced at him from the corner of his eye, and said, "Shangshutai is fighting?"

Seeing that there were many people around, Pan Yin suppressed his excitement and said, "The memorabilia of the Imperial City Mansion."

Liu Bian took it fiercely, opened it and looked.

This memorial is very thick, as if two books were spliced ​​together. Liu Bian frowned, carefully reading from the beginning to the end, with a tense expression from the beginning, then doubts, then curiosity, and finally shortness of breath, uncontrollable excitement.

He flipped his right leg, jumped off the horse, patted the playbook, and said with a big smile, "Good! Good! Good!"

He couldn't say anything else but good.

In this memorial, Huangfu Jianchang recorded in detail the process and results of the battle between Dong and Yuan, and reported the basic situation of Yu and Xu.

A lot of pen and ink was also spent in it, describing how he robbed Dong Zhuo's money and food!
Pan Yin knew about it, but she was still excited and kept laughing along with her.

Zhao Yun and Dian Wei looked at the memorial curiously, they rarely saw Liu Bian lose his composure.

Liu Bian patted the notebook, his eyes were burning, and countless thoughts flashed through his mind. For a while, he met everyone's eyes and laughed loudly: "Good thing!"

As he spoke, he walked out quickly and said, "Go back to the palace!"

Huangfu Jianchang's memorial records the total amount of money and grain he robbed: 48 shi of grain, and 20 shi in cash, plus other treasures, the total will be doubled.

20 is 200 taels, which is equivalent to 200 taels of silver. You must know that at this time, the tax of the imperial court does not exceed [-] for the whole year!

This is a windfall, a windfall from heaven!

Liu Bian walked quickly, thinking about how to use it. He just got into the carriage, and before he sat down, he said, "Huangfu Jianchang has done a very good job, give him a reward, a big reward! When he comes back, I want to be the first See him. Who is in the Forbidden Army Camp? By the way, Huang Zhong, order him to lead an army of [-] troops to Yanzhou and escort Huangfu Jianchang back to Beijing. .Also, everyone in Beijing has to come to the Shizhonglu to discuss matters..."

Pan Yin quickly wrote down one by one, got on his horse, followed the carriage to the imperial road, approached the window again, and said in a low voice: "Your Majesty, Cao Yin, the prefect of Wuling, has rebelled."

Liu Bian opened the curtains and asked in confusion, "Who are you talking about?"

Pan Yin handed over a playbook and said, "Cao Yin, Governor of Wuling in Jingzhou."

Liu Bian narrowed his eyes slightly, reached out to take the memorandum, and vaguely remembered that there was such a thing.

After reading the playbook, Liu Bian nodded slightly, basically sure.

Cao Yin disagreed with Wang Rui and was afraid that Wang Rui would kill him, so he issued a call for action in the future in an attempt to preemptively strike.

In history, he did the same thing, but Sun Jian seized the opportunity and directly led his troops to force Wang Rui to death, and then Liu Biao succeeded Wang Rui as the governor of Jingzhou.
