Lu Dynasty

Chapter 394 Calculation
Yuan Shao's order came down, but everyone in the camp was stunned, so no one carried out his order.Yuan Shao said displeasedly: "What are you doing in a daze? Why don't you drag it down!" Hearing Yuan Shao's angry shout, the people in the tent realized that the wolf-like guard dragged Cui Yi away, and I cut off his tongue Cui Yi, who couldn't speak, struggled pitifully.But how could he be the opponent of those guards? In no time, a bloody head was put on Yuan Shao's desk.Yuan Shao looked at Cui Yi's head and said, "Old Cui, don't blame me, I really didn't know that Lu Feng was so powerful, I'm sorry!" Yuan Shao ordered Cui Yi's head to be pickled with lime, So I sent someone to Luoyang with a sincere letter of apology, trying to calm my anger and lower my guard against him.

In fact, I have nothing to do in Luoyang. Now that we have everything ready, we just wait for Cao to give me an excuse so that Liu Bian can ascend the throne and organize the reform of the great Han.However, everything that needs to be done in the early stage has been done.For example, in front of Luoyang City, Liu Ye had already built a high platform for ascending the throne. This high platform was filled with cement and was ten meters high, equivalent to a five-story building.When there was no handrail next to it, I went up to see it, and the view was not ordinary.Standing on it, if you have a telescope, you can probably see Hulao Pass!Guo Jia and the others called this high platform a meditation platform, and because of this, Liu Ye once joked with me that he was about to become a husband.

Having nothing to do, I came to the meditation platform again.The Han Dynasty was not full of tall buildings like the cities of later generations. Unless you stood on the top of a forty or fifty-story building, you could only see the houses. Even if you stood on the top of the forty or fifty-story building, you could only see the roof of the building!I stood on the ten-meter-high Buddhist altar, blowing the cold wind, and looked at the towering city walls of Luoyang City. At that moment, not only my ears were quiet, but my heart was also quiet.In fact, standing alone on a high place is the easiest way to calm down.Except for those with fear of heights of course!As for the high places, it depends on whether there is someone you can trust standing beside you!

After standing there for a long time, I suddenly heard someone calling me. I looked down and saw that it was Guo Jia.I walked down from the stage and asked, "What's the important thing about Fengxiao? Could it be that Cao and Yuan Shao are playing tricks again?"

Guo Jia smiled and said, "Master, Yuan Shao has brought you a present!"

"Come on, Yuan Shao can't wait to cook me up, how can he give me a gift?" I laughed and said, "Unless he gave me his own head!"

"It's really a head, but it's a pity it doesn't belong to Yuan Shao!" Guo Jia said with a smile: "My lord beat Cao, Yan Liang, and Wen Chou's allied forces to half-mutilation in Qingzhou. Yuan Shao was frightened, so he sent the head of the emissary Cui Yi who spoke rudely." coming!"

"Yuan Shao has a lot of out-of-the-box people like Cui Yi, and he won't feel bad if he kills a few more!" I laughed and said, "It seems that Yuan Shao was frightened. Please comfort the emissary! Before Cao didn't give us Before finding an excuse to let Liu Bian ascend the throne, try not to offend Yuan Shao. Although the ants are small, they are quite annoying if they make trouble! I won’t see that messenger, and let them think I’m a bit mysterious!”

"My lord wants to pretend to be mysterious, I understand that!" Guo Jia asked, "But what is playing tricks?"

I slipped my tongue again, and I had no choice but to say to Guo Jia: "It's just a useless little person, a foreign dialect, I overheard it once!" Looking at Guo Jia's suspicious eyes, I couldn't help but smile wryly.The term "dragon set" is a term in Peking Opera, and "dragon set" is a term that originated from Hong Kong artists later. I can't tell Guo Jia that this is a term after 1000 years!Seeing that Guo Jia was still trying to play tricks, I quickly said to him: "Come on, let's go and see that head!" Guo Jia knew that I was changing the subject, but as his subordinate, he always wanted to give me face as the lord!

Back in the meeting hall, looking at Cui Yi's head, which was so unrepentant, I asked Guo Jia to take it down and bury it.I didn't have any grudges with Cui Yi, it was just that he was a little too much, and I also cut off his ears, nose and tongue too much, but I didn't intend to kill him at all.Otherwise, he wouldn't have been able to leave Luoyang in the first place.

When Cao returned to Xuchang, the more he thought about it, the angrier he became. He called Xun Yu and Cheng Yu over and spoke harshly.Xun Yu also knew that he had neglected this matter.After all, the people are the foundation of the country, and he didn't stop so many refugees passing by Yanzhou. This is a very wrong behavior.But this can't be completely blamed on Xun Yu, even if he stops him, how can Cao support these Qingzhou people?You know, the young and strong in my eyes were all transported back to Sizhou by Gan Ning by boat, and those who traveled by land were all people over 30 years old. People around 30 years old can be used to farm the fields, and people over 50 years old can only be used to waste food!Maybe he can still follow Cheng Yu's old method of killing people for meat!
Cheng Yu looked at Cao who was furious. He knew that Cao was not angry that he didn't get the people of Qingzhou, but that he fell behind me again.Cheng Yu rolled his eyes and smiled at Cao: "My lord, don't we still have Liu Xie in hand? Why don't you let him issue an edict to Lu Feng, let Lu Feng return the people of Qingzhou, and let him hand over the high-yield he discovered? Grain species and planting methods!"

"Zhongde, His Majesty is the emperor after all, you have to give him due respect!" Xun Yu said: "After all, Your Majesty is the symbol of a great man, others don't need to respect it, but because of His Majesty, we grasp the righteousness of the world. How can we not?" Respect Your Majesty?" Xun Yu always wanted Cao to be the Duke of Zhou, but even if Cao was willing to be the Duke of Zhou, Liu Xie was not the king!

"Zhongde, what's the use of Liu Xie's edict! Except for those loyal officials of the Han Dynasty who are obedient, who else takes him seriously? Do you think Lu Feng is the kind of person who is loyal to the emperor and patriotic?" Cao was originally annoyed and angry. Hearing Xun Yu's words and seeing that Xun Yu still had illusions about Liu Xie, he said angrily, "The one thousand shi moldy corn that Lu Feng sent last time is still in the warehouse!" An envoy was sent to ask me to pay tribute to Liu Xie, and I promised to give him a thousand shi of corn.Guo Jia took the stored grain in the warehouse and paid it to Liu Xie. He also said that there was a recession under my rule and there was no good grain.The envoy looked at the new grain in the warehouse, and despised Guo Jia for telling nonsense with his eyes open. After returning, he would naturally report the truth to Cao.

As for why Guo Jia did this, in fact, Guo Jia has long felt that we have the strength to unify the country, as long as we are careful, there is absolutely no danger.It's just that there is too much resistance to reform after reunification. At that time, the aristocratic family will repeat itself, which will have a great impact on our career.So although we don't launch a unification war now, we will never let Liu Xie, a false emperor, dominate us.
