Wei Ni

Chapter 94

Guan Qiujian's guess was not wrong.

The strategic plan related to conquering Liaodong and continuing to promote recruitment in Bingzhou was one of Xia Houhui's thoughts along the way from Huainan to Nanyang Wancheng after learning that Gongsun Yuan of Liaodong had sent the head of Jiangdong envoy to Luoyang to express his loyalty.

He knew the character of Emperor Cao Rui very well.

I also know that I will be asked about Liaodong by the emperor just in time for the meeting, so I have prepared the draft first.

It's all wrong.

He and the emperor's itinerary were staggered, but instead had a "chance encounter" with Guan Qiujian.

Therefore, based on his good impression of Guanqiu Jian as a loyal minister, and the two talked about Liaodong, Xia Houhui took advantage of the opportunity to sell his favor to him.In any case, if the emperor sends Wuqiu Jian to attack Liaodong in the future, and he can win in one battle, it will be a good thing for Wei State Sheji.

Furthermore, as long as the emperor Cao Rui is in power for one day, Guan Qiujian's official career will surely rise steadily.

Because his father Wu Qiuxing was an old minister of Wei Wu Cao Cao, and he became a minister of Qiandi when the emperor Cao Rui was demoted to Pingyuanhou and the position of prince was in jeopardy. The kindness Cao Rui kept in his heart.

It is also regarded as a femur and brachial without hesitation.

It can be said that his current status is like Sima Yi or Chen Qun in Cao Pi's time.

The difference is just that the official career experience is not deep.

With his talent and learning, as long as he has enough experience and seized the opportunity given by the emperor Cao Rui to accumulate meritorious service, it is inevitable that he will become a general in the future.

Therefore, in a sense, Xia Houhui felt that he and herself were in the same path.

If Cao Wei Sheji faced a crisis in the future and he stepped forward, Guanqiu Jian would definitely stand up and defend the country with him regardless of his family's life.

In this way, it is also good to form a good relationship first.

The most important thing is that if he can get along well with Guanqiu Jian, it will be something that Emperor Cao Rui would like to hear~
In fact it is.

When Guanqiu Jian kowtowed to see him after participating in the court meeting, and mentioned in the Chonghua Empress Hall that he and Xia Houhui had returned to Luoyang, the emperor Cao Rui relaxed his eyebrows and looked very happy.

For Qiao Pei Yuanxun and his close friends, it is a good thing for him to consolidate the monarchy.

However, he did not immediately express his position on the strategic plan of conquering Liaodong and whether to let Tian Yu return to Bingzhou to carry out the leftover strategy.

It's not that he didn't make up his mind.

in contrast.

As soon as Guanqiu Jian just told the story, he tended to let Tian Yu transfer to Bingzhou to take up the post.

After all, when a big country conquers, it is famous to be a teacher.

Gongsun Yuan, who still regards himself as a Weichen, has just sent the head of the Jiangdong envoy to show his loyalty. No matter how Wei Guo knows that he has disobedience, it is impossible to send troops to crusade now~
The best way to appease him is naturally Tian Yu transferred from Qingzhou to Bingzhou to prepare for the fight against Xianbei Ke Bineng, and let the governor of Youzhou also transfer his troops to the Daijun area for deployment.

Moreover, such an approach will also make Gongsun Yuan more willing to accept Wei Guo's plans to use business as a spy, and to call the children of the Liaodong family to study in Luoyang.Because the Wei State has transferred its troops to express its goodwill, Gongsun Yuan has to "give way" on some minor issues that are not hurtful, and give the temple face.

Another layer of thinking is that the emperor Cao Rui is really looking forward to the conquest.

Not just for personal fulfillment.

It is even more for the stability of Wei Guosheji.

Since the beginning of the Battle of Hanzhong in the last period of Wei Wu and Cao Cao, Wei Guo had almost no achievements to show off in terms of foreign conquests.

Similar to Sima Yi's capture of Meng Da in recent days; Cao Zhenping's Lu Shuihu rebellion in Hexi, etc., belong to internal chaos.

And Cao Pi's three expeditions to Jiangdong all came back in vain.

After he succeeded to the throne, both the Battle of Shiting and Cao Zhen's conquest of Shu were defeated.

It can be said that after the Cao Wei Dynasty accepted the destiny of the Han Dynasty, the two kings were in power for more than ten years, but they were all in vain!

This was an unrest-inducing factor for Sajik.

It is also the basis for inducing conflicts among people.

After all, the Han Dynasty has been passed down for 400 years, and its prestige has long been planted in the hearts of the people, and it is also engraved in the bones.

Especially with the example of Guangwu ZTE.

It only lasted 15 years when Wang Mang usurped the throne.

As the king of Cao Rui, while the two kingdoms of Wu and Shu still exist, An Neng is not worried about the lessons learned from the past!

Therefore, he is very inclined to put into practice the strategy left over from Zhaozhao.

The counties and counties in the Hetao Plain were lost at the end of the Han Dynasty. If the Wei State brought these counties and counties back into the territory, it would be an endorsement of the destiny of the Han Dynasty in the Cao Wei Dynasty.

The last reason is that it is easier to reunify the prefecture than to conquer Liaodong.

Because Cao Rui only needs the counties and counties in the Hetao Plain to belong to the Wei State in name, and he will not migrate Li Shu to garrison fields and build cities to garrison troops like Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty.

Yes, he doesn't expect to gain any practical benefits from the Hetao Plain.

Since the Yellow Turban Rebellion, the heart of the Central Plains has been sparsely populated, so what taxes can be collected in the border counties?
As long as the Zahu tribe or the survivors of the Han family living there surrendered to the Wei State, and the temple sent some officials to promote Wanghua, a name is enough.

In other words, he only needs Tian Yu to defeat Xianbei Kebi Neng, who often invades the border, and then implement the prison system. This will not consume much national power, and it is easier to do than conquering Liaodong.

However, now he can't directly make a choice.

In order to take into account Wu Qiujian's feelings.

He has already hinted through various means before that he will use Guanqiu Jian as a general to attack Liaodong in the future.

Moreover, calling Guanqiu Jian to return to Luoyang to report on his duties this time is also because he wanted to privately prepare with Guan Qiujian to attack Liaodong, so that he could prepare for the attack on Gongsun Yuan at the right time.

Things are coming to an end, he can't turn his back on his word in front of Wuqiu Jian, suspend the plan to attack Liaodong and implement the strategic deployment of Bingzhou, right?

In any case, Guanqiu Jian is the former minister of his hidden residence.

It is also in his heart, a minister who is the heart and the minion.

Moreover, he could not transfer Guanqiu Jian to Bingzhou to serve.

Bi Gui, who is also the former minister of Qiandi, now serves as the governor of Bingzhou!

If Tian Yu is transferred to Bingzhou, Tian Yu must be in charge of military affairs, so how can he arrange Guanqiu Jian to enter?

Wu Qiujian, who was the first to be sent out to guard the state and county, could not be under Bi Gui~
And his talent is better than Bi Gui!
Therefore, the emperor Cao Rui frowned for a while.

Silently thinking about how to prevent Guanqiu Jian from being disappointed, temporarily stranded the expedition to Liaodong, and transferred the hope of opening up the territory to Bingzhou.Just like the trade-offs he used when he asked Cao Zuan to take charge of the reform of the scholars and supervise the new army, he would also promote Xia Houhui to the backbone general in advance, so that Xia Houhui would not only be disappointed.

Confidants are meant to show their favor with tangible benefits.

Instead of relying on his loyalty to use political tactics to make decisions.

Maybe it was expected.

Or maybe Guanqiu Jian, as the former minister of the hidden residence, knows the emperor Cao Rui very well.

When Cao Rui was silent, he stood up and lit the ambergris on the desk table as he did when he was serving as Marquis of Pingyuan Wenxue and accompanying Cao Rui to study and cultivate morality.

"Ok?"

Emperor Cao Rui, whose thoughts were interrupted, raised his eyebrows upon hearing this.

Immediately, he suddenly smiled.

He was smart since he was a child, and he has already heard what Guan Qiujian said.

Wei Chenghan system, legally cannot confer dukes and kings on the opposite sex, not to mention that with the death of Chen Si Wang Cao Zhi, Cao Rui also institutionalized the enfeoffment of Wei's clan.

The princes in the temple agreed to make Gongsun Yuan the Duke of Le Lang, because they knew that the Wei State would definitely attack Liaodong in the future, so they didn't hesitate to throw him a bone to appease.

Anyway, Gongsun Yuan will be designated as a traitor in the future.

Don't be shy.

But now if Ke Bineng is the first to be discussed and then Liaodong, then there is no need to give such a title to make Gongsun Yuan doubt himself.

Yes, Guanqiu Jian guessed the embarrassment of the emperor Cao Rui, so he took the lead in suggesting that Cao Rui suspend the Liaodong plan and instead prepare for the restoration of the whole territory of Bingzhou.Moreover, his behavior of lighting ambergris and pouring wine for Cao Rui is also a silent statement. He is still the same as when Cao Rui was demoted from King Qi to Pingyuan. He does not care about personal gains and losses, and he will not feel wronged because Cao Rui changed his plan.

"As you said."

Gently nodding his head, Emperor Cao Rui said with a smile, "It's really inappropriate to confer the Duke title. Well, it's just Zhonggong's grievance."

"Your Majesty, why did you say that!"

Guanqiu Jian, who did not change his smile, raised his cup to invite, and said in a clear voice, "No matter what you do in Liaodong today, it is a temporary expedient measure. If the time is right in the future, how can our country of Wei allow Gongsun and the clown to do evil!"

"That's a great word! Hahaha~"

Involuntarily, Emperor Cao Rui clasped his hands, looked at Guanqiu Jian and laughed.

He was just laughing, and said kindly, "I haven't seen Zhong Gong for a long time, and I miss him very much. It's getting late, Zhong Gong will stay and have dinner with me."

The next day.

Emperor Cao Rui issued an edict.

On the grounds that the courtiers violated the system, they rejected the temple's proposal to award Gongsun Yuan, but they made Gongsun Yuan the great Sima, granted the Marquis of Liaodong, held the festival to lead the county as before, and rewarded a lot of treasures and property.

Bei Zhonglang, who is stationed in Jizhou, will lead his troops to Daijun, Youzhou, and urge the soldiers to perform martial arts and Guangtian Animal Valley.

Tian Yu was summoned back to the court to report on his duties, and when the emissary had just gone to Qingzhou to preach the imperial edict, he began to ask the temple officials to nominate candidates for the governor of Qingzhou.

In other words, Cao Rui conveyed to Gongsun Yuan the goodwill of Wei Guo not to attack Liaodong with practical actions.

At least not for a few years.

These edicts also caused a commotion in Luoyang.

Everyone knows that the temples are planning to run Bingzhou and attack Xianbei Kebi Neng with troops, and they also start running around each other for profit.

Some people make friends first, trying to place their nephews and nephews in Bingzhou to take advantage of the opportunity to gain military merits and good-looking resumes; some people don’t send their family retinues, but rush to Bingzhou to manage officials and local tyrants or merchants, so as to form a caravan to travel to Bingzhou to profit in the future.

Bingzhou is a frontier area with many Zahu tribes, and because half of the territory was abandoned early, the trade of slaves and maidservants is quite popular.And once the war broke out, many tyrants from the arbitrarily rural village or many wealthy businessmen from the private army would take the opportunity to privately take in the Lishu and weak Hulu tribesmen who were affected by the war, and then sell them to the Luoyang dignitaries to make profits from it.

Of course, these have nothing to do with Xia Houhui.

He has been back in Gyeonggi for three days, and now, accompanied by Uncle Sun, he is patrolling the tenant tenants and helpers busy with spring plowing.

It has been more than three years since Xia Houheng painted Wubao and Tianmu at the west end of Yangqu to him.

But with all his plans, he didn't even stay here for ten days.

Now that I have returned from a two-month leave, I naturally have to take a good look around, so as not to be unfamiliar with my own family affairs.

Actually there is nothing to see.

He was pampered and pampered since he was a child, and he is not familiar with farming and mulberry at all, and he really doesn't know the difference between grain and grain.

And Uncle Sun, who was by his side, only said some figures roughly, so that he could know the number in his heart.

For example, there are more than [-] hectares of fields under his name, because they fall along the hillside, half of which are planted with mulberry; there are too few tenants of more than forty households, and they are too busy during spring plowing and autumn harvesting, so they have to hire helpers.But the fields are all drawn along Luoshui and Yangqu, so there is no need to worry about irrigation. It is easy to dredge the ditches during the slack season, and the labor becomes redundant again.

In addition, after deducting the daily needs and the land tax, there is a lot of surplus in the annual production, but there is very little money left in the account, which is used by him to adopt and resettle the children.

But he quickly added.

Claiming that he knew that Xia Houhui had already decided on the marriage, so he reserved the cost of getting married in advance.

Xia Houhui, who was walking along the mulberry forest on the dwarf hills, listened silently, and looked down at Tufu who was busy in the farmland from time to time, his eyes were a little blurred, and he didn't know what he was thinking.

When he came to a cluster of bamboos, he felt bored, so he found a rock at random and sat down.

When Uncle Sun passed the bamboo water bag, he took advantage of the opportunity to remind, "Liu Lang, there are more than three hundred children in the shadow now. In my opinion, why don't we stop it for now? Liu Lang works outside all the year round. After getting married, if there is a large amount of expenses in the family accounts, I'm afraid I can't hide it from the lady."

"Well, just follow Uncle Sun's words."

Gently nodding, Xia Houhui patted the stone under her body, "Sun Shumo stands and sits. After getting married, I will find an excuse to cover up the expenses of raising three hundred children."

In fact, if Uncle Sun didn't mention this, Xia Houhui would stop adopting children.

It wasn't that he was worried that Wang Yuanji would notice after passing through the door.

But for two reasons.

First of all, judging from the current trend of emperor Cao Rui's efforts to govern, Xia Houhui felt that these children should not be needed in the future, so it's better to take it easy.

The other is that he will return to Luoyang to take up a post in the near future.

His daily life and expenses are not extravagant, and he obviously has a salary and more than [-] hectares of land. If he continues to be shy, he may attract the attention of some caring people, and even expose his private raising of children.

"That's right, Rokuro."

Uncle Sun, who took the opportunity to sit down, went on to say, "Qilang told someone that he will go to the small house outside the city tomorrow after accompanying the driver, and ask Liu Lang to meet him. Also, I have sent a letter of greeting to Wang Shilang yesterday, and I have already replied today. Wang Shilang will tell Xiumu to stay at home in three days; but the general's mansion has not responded yet." (End of this chapter)
