Lord Yuan

Chapter 201 Liu Hong's Attitude
Yuan Shao didn't understand what he meant. He looked at his uncle Yuan Wei who was hurrying behind him and asked in confusion: "Why did my uncle say this?"

After Yuan Wei took a few breaths, he held Yuan Shao's arm and said, "Although Ben Chujin was promoted to a guard and was able to take charge of the southern army of the capital, his power is not unimportant, but he is not as powerful as General Du Liao." For a foreign general, he lacks the authority to act easily. Everything needs to be reported to his subordinates, and even needs to be controlled by eunuchs. In this way, although I am the ninth minister, I, the Yuan family, have gained another high position, but In fact, for my brother and I who have already served as the Third Duke, there is not much improvement, but it makes me, the Yuan family, less of an isolated overseas city in Liaodong."

Yuan Shao nodded, but he was not worried about this matter. Liaodong and Liaoxi, which were already under his governance, could no longer be solved by just sending a so-called general Du Liao.

He had put such a matter on the agenda very early, so those elite soldiers actually only recognized Yuan Shao himself, as well as the captains, Sima and others he appointed. However, they did not have any rights over the appointed officials. Can be manipulated.

In addition, the local Li Shu people have long been accustomed to Yuan Shao's governance. Suddenly changing someone may be counterproductive. Although Yang Xu has some abilities and is good at spreading benevolent policies, he wants to smoothly implement his own policies in his own territory. , is not easy either.

It can even be said that the local Li Shu people would recognize Xun Chen and others, and would not choose to identify with a replacement for Yuan Shao, who was obviously not at fault.

"Uncle, you are overly worried. Although Liaodong is said to be the territory of the Han Dynasty, in fact, the Yellow Turban Rebellion broke out at this time, and he has already lost his control over Liaodong and other places. Not to mention that Shao Jin is a guard, he is a city gate military commander. Liaodong still has the opportunity to develop only under my jurisdiction, others do not have this opportunity."

Yuan Wei looked at Yuan Shao in disbelief at this time. From the confidence in his eyes, it was really hard to imagine that he had reached this point without the help of the Yuan family. If he could get the full support of the Yuan family, , no one knows how far Yuan Shao can achieve this, and there is no chance to continue to implement it.

But that's not all he's talking about.

"You privately trained [-] cavalry? Is this the case?"

"Probably, maybe."

"Then uncle, you should think that there are cavalry. The cavalry are not ordinary soldiers. Even in the entire Han Dynasty, there are only one hundred thousand. You suddenly trained [-] cavalry. In the eyes of outsiders, it is tantamount to rebellion and rebellion. If it weren't for your majesty today, If you haven't mentioned this matter, I'm afraid it will be impossible for you to escape today from those officials who have been preparing to criticize you for a long time."

"Even if it sweeps across the Yellow Turbans and wipes out the entire territory of Youzhou, the Yellow Turbans are not enough to offset it?"

"No, merit is merit. Now the position of a guard is to reward you for such merit, but there is no chance of rebellion."

Yuan Wei's attitude was very resolute, even though deep down in his heart he desperately hoped that the [-] cavalry would really be named Yuan, but once it came to rebellion, Yuan Wei shuddered unconsciously, and he often implicated the nine tribes. No one can withstand his crime.

Yuan Shao looked at his uncle Yuan Wei with a rare hint of panic on his face, but a hint of bad taste suddenly flashed in his heart.

If his uncle knew that he still had a battalion of [-] crossbow cavalry, [-] white horses, and that the Liaodong treasury could still use money and food for ten years, wouldn't he immediately chop off his own head with a knife to apologize?
"Uncle, there is no need to worry. Since His Majesty has never mentioned it and has appointed me as a guard, it means that he has not taken this matter to heart at all."

"I hope so."

Yuan Wei was walking in front, and when he saw that he was almost in front of the car, he suddenly turned around: "If you have time, go home and take a look. Tan'er is about to grow up. In this capital city, don't act like Liaodong anymore." Self-proclaimed, always think twice before you act, there are countless eyes behind you watching your mistakes, and any mistake you make will be included in the book by those censors who made it out of nothing."

Yuan Shao responded respectfully: "I sincerely follow my uncle's teachings."

After hearing this, Yuan Wei nodded happily and was about to leave when he saw a servant suddenly appear behind Yuan Shao.

"Your Majesty specially announces that Yuan Weiwei has entered the palace to discuss important matters."

Yuan Wei's expression suddenly changed. He was afraid of what might happen. At this time, the court meeting had already dispersed, so what else could he do to summon Yuan Shao? Except for the matter about the [-] cavalry, there was absolutely no possibility of anything else.

He couldn't help but ask aloud: "May I ask the chamberlain, have you ever summoned other officials?"

The chamberlain shook his head and said nothing.

Seeing this situation, Yuan Wei became even more nervous, but his expression instantly returned to calm. The soldiers came to block him, and the water came to cover him.

Yuan Shao has become the mainstay of the Yuan family, and he has been serving as a guard for a few years. As long as he does not make any mistakes in the future, he will definitely become the third prince. Children of such a family will definitely receive special treatment from the clan. He has already made up his mind. Later, he informed his brother about the matter and asked him to contact the disciples of the Yuan family in the capital. He must not watch Yuan Shao fall into a situation that is beyond redemption.

Yuan Shao comforted me with a smile: "Uncle, there is no need to worry. It seems that His Majesty has not seen me for a long time, so he issued the decree. Don't worry, please come back soon."

Yuan Wei nodded, then got into the car and drove immediately to Yuan Mansion.

Yuan Shao followed the eunuch to the former Deyang Palace. In front of the palace where the Revolution of [-] took place in September, Liu Hong was tricked by Cao Jie and other eunuchs and issued an order to kill the Taifu, the general and others. .

Yuan Shao was filled with emotion when he revisited his old place. He has never forgotten the help of his former Taifu Chen Fan to this day. However, he did not have the strength at that time to compete with the eunuchs. But now, the old man is gone. However, Yuan Shao has the strength to compete. It has to be said that fate plays tricks on people, and the whole game is lost in one step.

The chamberlain seemed to want to establish a good relationship with the newly arrived guard. When he saw a rather nostalgic look on his face, he couldn't help but ask: "Has the guard been here before? As far as I know, the guard used to be When I was the general of Du Liao, I had not been to Luoyang for more than ten years. Although I had just been promoted to Xiaohuangmen, I also knew the old things here. If the Weiwei needs it, I can naturally explain it after Your Majesty meets the Weiwei. Fan."

Yuan Shao sighed when he heard this, his eyes were like a clear stream of water, making it impossible to see any emotion.

"Thank you, chamberlain, but there are many burial sites of loyal people here. It's hard for me to think of disturbing them. I'd better go see His Majesty as soon as possible."

Yuan Shao's attitude shocked the servant. What did he mean?You know what's going on here.

Full of suspicion, he led Yuan Shao into the palace.

"Your Majesty, your Majesty is here to see the guards. Your Majesty is so kind to you!"

As soon as I glanced at him, I saw Liu Hong wearing a relatively lazy and gorgeous suit, lying on his side on a chair, his eyes filled with the graceful figure of the dancer in front of him.

Hearing that Yuan Shao was coming, Liu Hong waved his hand and signaled to come in.

Yuan Shao tiptoed without making a sound. He just stood aside quietly without raising his head. No matter how enchanting the dancing girls in front of him were, Yuan Shao just pretended to be in a state of mind without any blasphemy.

Liu Hong, who was sitting on the chair, smiled when he saw this.He waved his hand and dismissed all the dancers, and said with a smile, "Is it possible that your beloved doesn't like this?"

Yuan Shao immediately replied: "This is your majesty's property. The shore of the land is not the king's land. Although I have been appointed as a guard, I also know that your majesty is exhausted mentally and physically from working on state affairs. It is a good thing to relax and unwind in your free time. I Naturally, I don’t dare to disturb you too much.”

Liu Hong began to look at Yuan Shao with great interest, and after a long time he said with emotion: "When Aiqing and I appeared in front of me from prison in the past, they were not restrained. How come I have such an attitude when I see you today. "I am also used by the emperor in conversations with his close ministers. I am a bit too formal and too dignified, and I always feel dissatisfied with calling people close to me, so I am often used by the emperor.

Being able to be spoken to by Liu Hong in such a tone actually removed the biggest fear for Yuan Shao.

After all, Yuan Shao had secretly trained [-] cavalry, and the scope of this matter would be huge if he was investigated. Even if he was a descendant of the Yuan family, General Du Liao, and the current guard, he would definitely not be able to protect himself.

Therefore, when he heard Liu Hong talking to him in such a tone, the stone in his heart suddenly fell to the ground.

Yuan Shao said with a serious look: "Your Majesty is a man of ten thousand gold. When I saw Your Majesty in the past, I had a death wish. I was confused by Cao Zhong's constant attendant and thought that I would definitely die. Naturally, I was fearless. Today, I am honored by Your Majesty's reward. Sir, I am naturally grateful and do not dare to make mistakes."

Liu Hong pretended to be displeased and said: "I hope you can show the same attitude as that day. Your teachings will open my eyes."

"Your Majesty was joking, but I was just talking too much for a moment. Fortunately, Your Majesty did not pursue it. I am very grateful."

"Well, it seems that you and I are different. Forget it, let's not talk about it." Liu Hong stretched and changed his position.

"According to Zhang Rang, Yuan Aiqing trained [-] cavalry to rebel? Is this possible?"

Yuan Shaocheng was frightened and looked at Liu Hong again, but stopped talking.

When Liu Hong saw this, he frowned and said softly: "But it doesn't matter."

Yuan Shao's eyes suddenly lit up, and Liu Hong was very surprised. There must be a hidden secret in this.

"I know that Xianbei has always wanted to conquer the south. Although the frontier soldiers were brave and good at fighting, they had to defend the fortress for a long time and had long lost their will to fight against Xianbei. When I first arrived in Liaodong, nearly a hundred people were killed that day. After plundering beyond the Great Wall, the officials at that time secretly made up their minds to make these Xianbei people pay a heavy price so that they would not dare to go south."

Liu Hong nodded but did not speak.

"At that time, Liaodong was in ruins, and the soldiers had no intention to fight. The Li people suffered greatly from Xianbei. Only by stimulating the soldiers' willingness to fight against Xianbei could the future be successful."

"Then you attack Xianbei at night?"

Yuan Shao nodded and said: "Exactly. Fortunately, this move indeed increased the fighting spirit of the Han army, and by the way, hundreds of Han people were rescued."

"Aren't you afraid of being discovered by Xianbei and having no chance of survival under the heavy siege?"

"At that time, I just wanted to complete these things, and there was nothing else in my mind. Naturally, I couldn't talk about being frightened. But afterwards, I was so frightened that I broke out in a cold sweat."

"It's really hard for my beloved."

"I am not suffering, but the common people are complaining. The past days of looting have already made people in Liaodong panic. They dare not cultivate the land and dare not move the things. If this continues, Liaodong will definitely fall into the hands of Xianbei. Therefore, I have learned from this painful experience. , decided to form a cavalry to compete with the Xianbei."

There was a hint of warmth in Liu Hong's stern eyes, looking at Yuan Shao who had worked so hard for the big man. Even when he was recalled to Luoyang, he had no complaints and even preferred to be a city gate military commander, that is, just to watch. None of the people at the gate had any objections. Liu Hong couldn't help but sigh, this is an absolutely good minister who belongs to the Han Dynasty.

"A turning point came. The Xianbei people couldn't bear to be attacked by me at night, so they decided to send their troops south."

Liu Hong interrupted: "I know this. In the Battle of Liaodong, Yuan Aiqing defended ten times the Xianbei army with thousands of men, and even sent Yan Liang to capture the enemy's general with thousands of troops. This matter Even the whole Luoyang has spread."

Yuan Shao looked surprised when he heard this, and his eyes were full of joy.

"It is said that you also made Xianbei send thousands of horses and earn tens of millions of dollars."

"Exactly, because of this incident, Xianbei's vitality was severely damaged, and the morale of the Han army was high. The journey of building the cavalry was relatively smooth. I never thought that after defeating Xianbei, I encountered the Yellow Turban rebellion again, so I took advantage of the situation to go to Liaoxi. He rebelled, and was impeached as a result. He secretly trained [-] cavalry with the intention of treason. I have no intention of treason. I hope your Majesty will understand clearly!"

Liu Hong waved his hand and said: "I know that Aiqing is definitely not what those little people say. If Aiqing is a traitor, there will be no loyal ministers in the world."

"Being able to train [-] cavalry with the strength of one county is truly remarkable. If I hadn't seen Aiqing for a long time, I would be very reluctant to make Aiqing travel back to Luoyang. Now that I have become a guard Lieutenant, after all it is bitterly cold in Liaodong and other places, it’s time for you to enjoy your blessings."

Yuan Shao immediately raised his hands and shook his head and said: "I am in the prime of life, and it is too late to serve the country and be loyal to Your Majesty. There is no reason to enjoy happiness."

Liu Hong laughed when he heard this, stood up and helped him up.

"Do you remember where this is?"

Liu Hongduo sighed with emotion. He chose to summon Yuan Shao in Deyang Palace just to see if he still had an impression of the things here, or if he still remembered the former Taifu, General and others.

Yuan Shao hesitated to speak, hesitating, and his whole person looked extremely strange.

When Liu Hong saw this, he understood in his heart, and then he closed his eyes and sighed: "I know that Chen Fan is a loyal minister, and Dou Wu is also a wise person, but I am not the same person at that time."

Yuan Shao also followed up and said: "Your Majesty is the master of the country, so there is no need to worry about this. If the Taifu and others know about it, I will be pleased."

Liu Hong did not answer, but just walked around the entire hall. After a long time, he took out a memorial from under the chair and showed it to Yuan Shao for viewing.

"These are some of my teacher Yang Taiwei's views on the Yellow Turban Rebellion. He had many suggestions before, but I didn't listen, which led to today's trouble. How do you feel after reading this?"

After Yuan Shao took it, he understood immediately.

This was Yang Ci's attempt to relieve the shackles of the party, and also some predictions and ways to deal with the Yellow Turbans' imminent outbreak.
