The first general of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 163 The Son of Heaven Orders the Princes

"Situ, isn't it true that the fourth and third members of the Yuan family are also untrustworthy?"

It wasn't until Wei Tao left that Liu Xie turned to look at Wang Yun who had been bowing his head respectfully and asked.

"There is also that Cao Cao, and this Wei Tao. Although their actions are somewhat wrong, they are not disobedient. If they treat them like this, will they be chilled?"

"Your Majesty, thunder, rain and dew are all the favor of the king. Although your majesty's intention is obscure, but with Cao Mengde, how can Wei Ziyu's ability not know your majesty's intention? If he is loyal, how can he be chilled by it? The prosperity of Han and Guang, then it is necessary to personally control the power, for this reason, it is not a problem to do small things."

Without waiting for Wang Yun to reply, Wang Zifu just spoke out.

Although these people are now deeply trusted by Liu Xie, the one Liu Xie trusts most is Wang Yun. Although he got Wang Zifu's answer, Liu Xie still looks at Wang Yun, waiting for his answer.

"Your Majesty, what Lord Wang said is right. In the past, Dong Thief, Li Thief and others hijacked His Majesty to order the world. What is it? Isn't it the military power in their hands? Now His Majesty can only slowly take back the military power, and then the big man can Set things right. If you face the loyalty of Cao Mengde, Yuan Benchu ​​and others, it won’t be too late for His Majesty to reuse them in the future.”

At this time, Wang Yun also spoke. After being in prison for a while, Wang Yun's words seemed to contain no emotion. When he spoke slowly, there was no trace of hesitation in his voice.

"As for weakening the Yuan family, it is even more necessary to do it. Four generations and three princes, your majesty is not ignorant of the background of the Yuan family. It is impossible to force the princes from all walks of life to come. But I didn't have this idea at first. The real trick this time is in this reward. Although Yuan Shao looks grand and generous, he is actually ungrateful for small gains. If there is a chance to control Si Li or even His Majesty, he will definitely not let it go. "

"Situ means that Yuan Benchu ​​will also go on a trip with Dong Bandit, Li Bandit and others?"

After hearing Wang Yun's words, Liu Xie's face suddenly became very gloomy.

"The minister is strong and the master is weak, so Yuan Benchu ​​may not be like this. Even if the people of the Black Mountain Army are not trustworthy, the letters he got from the mansion of Mr. Liu Yu are also not trustworthy? The mind to master, now that its wings are full, it is natural to do this even more."

Wang Yun was still expressionless, as if he was just muttering to himself.

"So His Majesty doesn't have to feel guilty about this. Find him in Chang'an and then make a plan for him in one fell swoop. This is what His Majesty should do."

"Okay, everything is as Situ said!"

Although many princes only sent people to come, the originally scheduled grand ceremony was held as scheduled. Since then, the year name has been changed to Jian'an, and this year will be the first year of Jian'an.

Afterwards, the Son of Heaven ordered people to report on previous achievements, and wrote another letter to all the heroes in the world, including Wei Tao and others, all of whom were changed to fiefdoms.

At this time, when the world is being rewarded, and the princes from all walks of life have not yet arrived, it is naturally impossible for the people under him to resign.

And Cao Cao, Wei Tao and others here were received by Liu Xie early, and they had already made preparations in advance, so naturally they all obeyed the order to thank them.

"Congratulations, my lord, for getting Jizhou herdsmen. If you can connect Bingzhou and Jizhou together, and then rest and recuperate for a few years, maybe you can really go north to decide on the Xiongnu."

After seeing Wei Tao return home, Xun You immediately stepped forward and said to Wei Tao with a smile.

"Gongda is just joking. If it is really that simple, then I can hand over Bingzhou to the Black Mountain Army now. However, if I prepare troops and horses, I can enter Jizhou."

Speaking of this, Wei Tao shook his head and smiled.

"It seems that this time someone is indeed plotting for the emperor. I am afraid it is my Uncle Wang. Now I do not have the strength to threaten Jizhou, but I was asked to be the shepherd of Jizhou. This is really obvious. But with Yuan Benchu I'm afraid I will really respond to the temperament of forgetting righteousness when I see small profits."

"My lord, even if it is a response, is it not an opportunity for Yuan Benchu? If he can seize Sili and take the emperor to command the princes, he can become a Dong thief in the past. Moreover, the Yuan family is different from Dong Zhuo. Prestige, the heroes of the world can no longer have the tendency of all parties to jointly attack."

Xun You shook his head, but reminded Wei Tao.

"Hehe...Gongda, we are not in the position to interfere with this matter. It's just that after this, the world may be in chaos!"

Wei Tao smiled, but then sighed.

The purpose of Wei Tao's visit to Chang'an this time was to show his loyalty, and by the way, to attract Hua Xin. Now that the purpose has been achieved, Wei Tao naturally returned with a rewarding experience.

However, before going back, Wei Tao still has one thing to ask Hua Xin.

"Ziyu, both Bingyuan and Guan Ning had a close relationship with Ziyu. I don't know if Ziyu can invite you on behalf of him? If he can come, Tao will treat him with the courtesy of a national scholar."

"Bing Yuan, Guan Ning... Actually, even if the lord doesn't say anything, Xin still wants to recommend them to the lord."

After pondering for a while, Hua Xin bowed to Wei Tao.

"However, the two of them are different from Xin. They have high aspirations and are not attracted by officials. Especially Guan Ning, Xin knows that he is a great talent, but he has vowed never to be an official. I heard that they have recently avoided disaster in Liaodong. If My lord is interested, and I would like to go to Liaodong to persuade him."

"Are you sure about Ziyuguo?"

When Wei Tao heard that Hua Xin had agreed to the matter, he was overjoyed immediately.

"How dare you be sure? But with my lord's ambition to drive the Xiongnu north, I think it is somewhat possible to completely move Bingyuan."

Hua Xin smiled and spoke confidently, but then his face became slightly bitter again.

"Of course, this is only limited to Bing Yuan. I'm afraid there is one thing that my lord doesn't know about. Guan Ning once broke up with me. If I want to persuade him to come, I'm afraid I won't be able to."

"Could it be that Guan Ning has talent but is unwilling to stretch it?"

Wei Tao frowned slightly, he really didn't understand.

Even ordinary people still want to earn a few cents more, but which one of the talented people does not have his own ambition?

"It's not."

As expected, Hua Xin had once been friends with Guan Ning, and he really had a deep affection for Guan Ning.

"Guan Ning has great ambitions. He believes that it is impossible to use officials to control people. It is just to educate people. If the world is full of common people and everyone behaves the same, then the world can be governed. Therefore, he is determined to educate the world."

"This……"

After being silent for a while, Wei Tao's eyes lit up again. It takes ten years to grow trees and a hundred years to cultivate people. Even though Guan Ning has never been an official, if he is governed by Guan Ning's education, can he cultivate talents by himself in the future?

"Since that Guan Ning wants to educate the common people in the world, why don't you ask Ziyu to give me a word for Guan Ning. If he intends to go to Bingzhou to educate people, then I will allow him to do whatever he wants, and I will never interfere with his actions. They will not force their official positions, if they come and go, they can do whatever they want."

Hearing Wei Tao's words, even with Hua Xin's knowledge, he couldn't help being stunned, and it took a while before he saluted Wei Tao.

"In the past, I heard that Cao Mengde had the saying of 'only talents are promoted', but I only know it today. My lord's thirst for talent is even better than Cao Mengde's!"

"Hehe... Ziyu, that's too much."

Wei Tao smiled slightly, then looked left and right, and after hesitating for a while, he still gave Dian Wei instructions.

"Dianwei, since Ziyu wants to go to Liaodong, you will lead three hundred cavalry to accompany you, and you will follow Ziyu's orders all the way back and forth. Ziyu's words are equivalent to mine. Do you understand?"

"No! Dianwei takes orders and will guarantee Mr. Ziyu's safe return!"

Dian Wei complied calmly, and having Dian Wei around was enough to make Wei Tao feel at ease.

It has to be said that Hua Xin himself is also a very straightforward person. After getting Wei Tao's appointment, he immediately set off for Liaodong, and Dian Wei immediately led [-] cavalry to accompany him.

"My lord. There is something unclear about Yun, please ask my lord, and ask my lord to forgive me."

It wasn't until after Hua Xin and Dian Wei left that Zhao Yun found a chance to meet Wei Tao with no one else, and when he saw Wei Tao, he said quite seriously.

"Is Zilong going to Liaodong to escort Ziyu? Hehe... At that time, I was indeed hesitant between Zilong and Dianwei, but there was another reason why I chose Dianwei instead of Zilong. But Zilong is overthinking."

Wei Tao understood right away, maybe Zhao Yun noticed his strangeness at that time, which made him think, and explained to Zhao Yun with a smile.

"I also know that Zilong's martial arts are not inferior to Dianwei's now, especially the seven-detection coiled snake spear technique created by Zilong recently, which is even more exquisite. Zilong can be said to be better than blue. Mr. Tong may not be able to do it now. But this time I didn’t send Zilong to Liaodong, not because I couldn’t trust Zilong, but because I had a more important matter to entrust to Zilong. That’s why I was hesitant at the time also."

Hearing what Wei Tao said, Zhao Yun also understood that he had misunderstood, and immediately saluted Wei Tao.

"Yun came here with presumptuousness, please punish me, my lord."

"Hehe...Since Zilong has already asked about it, I will speak to Zilong first."

Wei Tao also understood that if he didn't explain the matter clearly, Zhao Yun might still have a grudge.

"Sili has suffered repeated wars, and there are many refugees among them. Ziyu took charge of the farming, and decided to attract refugees to come to enrich our state. After several months, it has achieved considerable results, but Ziyu thinks that If it's too slow, I want to do it myself. But doing such a thing is quite risky, but I can't stop Ziyu's heart. So I handed over this matter to Zilong, but unlike Dianwei, I just I can give you ten soldiers, but ask you to guarantee Tzuyu's safety, how can you do that?"

"Mr. Yun Ding Bao Ziyu has returned safely!"

Hearing what Wei Tao said, all the grievances in Zhao Yun's heart disappeared, leaving only a sense of excitement, and he suddenly agreed.

"Okay! This matter is handed over to Zilong."

What Wei Tao said is indeed true, not just for perfunctory.

On the second day, after Wei Tao had finished ordering all the affairs, he immediately led the remaining soldiers back to Bingzhou.
