Chapter 26 Ask Ji Xunyou

The next morning, when the court ended, Xun You changed into a clean court uniform and came to see Liu Xie.

"Your Majesty! Xun Shangshu asks to see you!"

"Let him in!"

"Here!"

"Does Xun Aiqing have any honest words to say to me here?"

Really nothing can be hidden from the Son of Heaven, Xun You finished his salute and said: "Your Majesty knows the purpose of my minister's visit, so I will not be pretentious, but I have some views on the current situation of the court to share with Your Majesty, and I want to ask His Majesty some real thoughts."

"Love Qing, please speak! Don't be afraid, no matter what you say, I will atone for your innocence!" Liu Xie sat upright.

Obtaining the instruction, Xun You said: "Your Majesty! Your Majesty's intention is to reuse Dong Zhuo's former subordinates Lu Bu and Li Su, so as to recruit the Xiliang Army and Bingzhou Army for the court to avoid fighting."

Liu Xie nodded, and half-truthfully said: "Ai Qing, I have this intention. If General Huangfu's attack on Meiwu goes smoothly, I will send General Huangfu to the east to destroy Niufu and Dong Yue, and transfer General Huangfu to sit in Tongguan to lead Xiliang Soldiers, to reassure the hearts of the generals."

In history, after the deaths of Niu Fu and Dong Yue, Wang Yun was originally suggested to do so, but he didn't listen. He insisted on killing Li Guo, Zhang Fan and other Xiliang generals, so that the Xiliang army would attack Chang'an in the west, and take the good ones. The situation was ruined, so Liu Xie picked it up and said.

Seeing this, Xun You shook his head and said, "Your Majesty, this is a very long-term plan! Although Xiliang's army soldiers have temporarily recruited, they have not been loyal to His Majesty. Since entering Sizhou, they have killed excessively and become wild. There is a possibility of rebellion at any time.

Although General Huangfu is the veteran of the three dynasties, the famous generals of our dynasty belong to the Xiliang family, but they are pedantic and conservative. Let alone whether our dynasty can quickly wipe out Niu Fu and Dong Yue; even if it is possible, General Huangfu can only suppress them temporarily soldiers, but they can't suppress these coquettish Xiliang generals, and chaos will surely arise in a long time. "

"Secondly, there are more than [-] iron cavalry in Xiliang. It is difficult to maintain the supply of food and grass in the Guanzhong area. The court cannot make ends meet, and it will be dissatisfied. An honorable name will make the people bored and consume the last trace of faith in the court, so the gain outweighs the loss."

Liu Xie nodded, thinking it made some sense. I didn't understand why Wang Yun wanted to kill the generals of Xiliang before. Did he really become short-sighted after taking over the power of the court, and did he expose his nature of vengeance?

In fact, it is not the case, not all of them, the problem is that there are too many troops in Xiliang, and they are not under the control of the court. If the old cat sleeps on salted fish, rebellion will happen sooner or later.

It's just that Wang Yun's actions were too urgent, and he had a little illusion about the princes of the Kanto, and he didn't keep the checkpoints, which accelerated the outbreak of conflicts. As for Huangfu General Chong, he could only chuckle. Don't expect too much of his role, otherwise Dong Zhuo died seven or eight times early.

So he asked, "What do Ai Qing think?"

Xun You said: "To disintegrate and disintegrate the generals in Xiliang, first temporarily pardon their crimes according to your majesty's will, first get rid of Hu Zhen, Yang Ding, Li Su and others, win over Xu Rong, appease Duan Yao, capture Xiliang's soldiers, and send a good general to retreat. Huayin, the place in Xian'an Guanzhong, is seeking Niu Fu Dong Yue."

"With the exception of Hu Zhen, Yang Ding, and Li Su, will this make Duan Yao feel different?" Liu Xie asked, actually affirming this method in his heart.

According to history, Hu Zhen and Yang Ding were fools on the wall. They were half-hearted towards the court and asked them to fight Li Guo. As a result, the two took the opportunity to recruit soldiers, and they came back after training the army to grow stronger. Finally, Li and Guo called Chang'an directly attached to it.

On the other hand, Li Su's own strength is too weak, so he can only play some small tricks. Although he has recruited Xiliang soldiers near Chang'an, he has not been able to defeat Niu Fu, who has few soldiers. With his character, he can't stay, otherwise he will be arrogant in the future Dissatisfaction will also feed back on yourself.

Xun You analyzed: "Your Majesty, there is no need to worry. As long as the reason is right and the killing is not a concern, the Xiliang Army is not trustworthy. Sooner or later, there will be changes. Your Majesty does not have to worry about it, just act boldly!

And I heard that Duan Yan was the only general in Xiliang who stationed troops, cultivated agriculture diligently, did not plunder the people, and lived in peace and contentment. He is a reasonable general who has always respected the imperial court. As long as he does not endanger others, he will not oppose His Majesty. "

Liu Xie was very educated like a student. He didn't expect that there were such talents among Xiliang generals. He nodded respectfully and asked, "Then Xun Qing, what's next!"

Xun You thought for a while and finally came up with a plan: "Your Majesty! First, Chang'an should train new troops as soon as possible to increase the strength of the court;

The second is to recruit reinforcements. One can use the Northwest Ma family to promise Yili, plan righteousness, and cleverly show kindness, which will definitely help His Majesty resist the generals of Xiliang;

Second, you can borrow the momentum of the Guandong. Although the Yuan family has the heart of pursuing public interests, there is more than one prince in the Guandong, and there is still loyalty. Your Majesty can borrow Zhang Yang from Hedong, Tao Qian from Xuzhou, and Zhu Jun from the Zhongmou Tunjun. The general restrained the Xiliang army in Luoyang and other places in Shan County, so that they would not dare to rush westward;

Such a fight for some time, one ebbs and another, when the generals from Xiliang are on their way to the west, your majesty will have the strength to fight, so it might be impossible to win. "

Liu Xie grasped the key points that Xun You said, one is the lack of soldiers, and the other is the lack of time.

Therefore, in order to expand the army, the second is to delay time. Dong Zhuoxin needs to recover everything except slowly. The longer the delay, the better for himself.

With Xun You's analysis, Liu Xie's thinking became clearer, but he smelled another meaning from it.

That is, although Xun You has his heart towards him, he still doesn't think that the Eastern Han Dynasty can do anything, and he still doesn't think that he can rejuvenate the Han Dynasty in the Guanzhong land. His new regime is very fragile, like a candle in the wind that is easily blown out by the wind .

He still has no confidence, because he has a very thorough view of the general situation of the world. The Kwantung Army like Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu are unreliable at all. He didn't even mention Cao Cao, who is loyal on the surface, but only a good old man Tao Qian.

So I can only use the Kwantung Army to scare Xiaoxiao by pulling the tiger's skin, neither can I believe it or use it.

And Ma Han Xiliang army is also a wolf, it is easy to invite gods to send gods, which is enough for Liu Xie to have a headache, suddenly he found that Dong Zhuo was still hiding in the harem to hang out quietly in the harem, so he didn't have to think so much.

If Dong Zhuo hadn't wanted to rob his beauty, he could have lived longer and accumulated more strength.

Then Xun You asked again: "When I was in prison, I heard that Your Majesty mentioned a daughter when he punished Dong. That's why Lu Bu knelt down and worshiped Dong...!"

"It's true, why does Aiqing know something!" Liu Xie stared at Xun You with burning eyes. He knew that this question would be asked sooner or later, and it was basically not difficult to guess.

Sure enough, Xun You said: "I dare to guess, Your Majesty wants to accept Lu Fengxian completely and hand over to his relatives. I don't know what is right!"

"Why does Aiqing think it's inappropriate!" Liu Xie didn't answer directly, basically acquiescing.

Without any emotion, Xun You changed to a clear expression, and continued: "It's okay or not!"

"Uh! What does Aiqing mean by this!" Liu Xie was a little puzzled. Do counselors like to play tricks like this?
