Survival Three Kingdoms

Chapter 844 The Restless Liu Kang
After taking Meng Da away, Zhou Cang didn't feel at ease anymore.When Liu Ming came, the emperor Liu Xie heard that Liu Xun had become king in Shu and asked Zhou Cang for his opinion.

Three great officials of the Liu family: Liu Yu, the Zongzheng Youzhou shepherd, died at the hands of Gongsun Zan, his son Liu He defected to Yuan Shao and died early; Liu Biao, the Jingzhou shepherd, died of illness, the eldest son Liu Qi and the second son Liu Cong all died, and the youngest son Liu Xiu was abolished Liu Yan, the shepherd of Yizhou, and his son Liu Zhang died, Yizhou was occupied by Liu Bei, and his grandson Liu Xun took it back.It stands to reason that Liu Xun is a royal family member of Zhengzheng Miaohong, but he is not directly related, so it is not appropriate to be called king, but the Liu family really does not have any decent capable people, so Liu Xie asked Zhou Cang for his opinion: Do you recognize Liu Xun? ?

According to Liu Xun's thinking, since there are Nanyue King and Western Region King, Liu Xun might as well have another Shu King, not to mention that one of the two has a foreign surname and the other is of a foreign race, how can they catch up with his own family.

childish!Zhou Cang laughed in his heart. It seems that Liu Xie's lesson is not deep enough, and needs to be deepened. "Mu Qiu, you go back to Jinan with Liu Ming to meet the emperor." Zhou Cang called the master secretary Mu Qiu. "Has there been a letter from your brother recently?"

It has been nearly a year since Mu Jin and Zhou Yuan went to Jeju, and the transmission of information is quite difficult.

"There are a few letters, which are nothing more than local customs and greetings. There is only one that attracts attention. The third son loves the sea and often goes out to play. He said: There are three fairy mountains on the sea, Penglai, Yingzhou, and the abbot? Is it true? ? Let people build a big ship, and the consumption is all from the son's salary. As for the official business, the son is not slack, and my brother is also very busy."

Not slacking off does not mean being diligent in official duties. Is Zhou Yuan indulging in mountains and rivers or seeking immortality?Zhou Cang shook his head, it didn't look like that, Zhou Yuan's performance was very rational, maybe it was just to relax, so that's fine.

Zhang Jaw wrote, Desert Khan volunteered to act as a guide. On the third day of November, Qu'a, Lu Qiling, Ma Xiu, and Guanqiu Jian led [-] riders from Bingzhou Yanmen to the north to attack Wuwei County; ten days later, veteran Wenji, Liu Zhi stayed in Bingzhou to be responsible for the supply of food and grass. Zhang Jai, Sun Li, Boba, and Ma Tie led [-] Qingqi, [-] Xuanjiaqi, and [-] infantry to attack Anding County.

Lu Xun also sent a letter saying that Zhuge Dan took Wenqin and Zhuge Xu across the Yellow River to the north, and temporarily took charge of the military affairs of the three counties of Hanoi, Hexi, and Hedong.Xu Huang, Xu Gai, Zhou Ting, Qi Mao and others were stationed in Yanjin and confronted Wang Chang of Chenliu; Lu Xun led Chen Ben, Chen Qian, and Fang Kai to station in Yangliting, and watched Cao Ren of Dingtao; Chen still occupies Rencheng and Shanyang, staring at Lu Yu, Xia Houru and Li Dian in Liangjun.Lu Xun's intention is obvious, to put high pressure on Cao's army on the eastern front and create fighter opportunities for Zhang Jaw on the western front.

"Why can't I fulfill Boyan?"

Qiao County is already empty, and Zhou Cang is not in a hurry to move in. Now that Zhang Jai and Lu Xun have already taken action, Zhou Cang has to cooperate in whatever they do: Yu Jin, Yu Gui, and Zhugeqian led 3 troops to station in Song County. South; [-] people from Zhoucang, Dianman, and Peifeng settled in Qiao County.

Lu Yu, who was in the gap between the north and the south, abandoned most of Liang Jun, stuck to the important town of Juyang, and kept asking Sima Yi and Cao Ren for help.

After Mu Qiu arrived in Jinan, he asked Xun Chen to take him into the palace to meet Liu Xie. Only then did Xun Chen know what Liu Xie was thinking, and he couldn't help calling His Majesty so confused.

"Your Majesty, when Liu Xun proclaimed himself King of Shu, he didn't show up on the table, he didn't call himself a minister, and he didn't pay tribute. How could Your Majesty have the idea of ​​being king?"

"Xun Qing, don't worry, I can send an envoy to Sichuan to blame him for coming to court." Liu Xie said awkwardly, "Besides, I just asked Zhou Qing..."

Mu Qiu bowed and said: "Sun Quan and Tuoba Liwei are South Vietnam, and the kings of the Western Regions are the vassals of our dynasty. Liu Xun holds a heavy army in Yizhou and disrespects the emperor's order. It can be seen that he has no heart to be loyal to the king and serve the country. Steal benefits from Liu Bei The state pretends to be the same as the king of Hanzhong. It has only been two years since he became king, and he spread the news that his majesty is in trouble and pretends to be the emperor. The clan is originally a family affair of your majesty, and the ministers dare not speak falsely. I hope His Majesty will understand Zhou Xiang's difficulties."

"Your Majesty, what Mu Qiu said is very true. South Vietnam and the Western Regions are not the territory of our Han Dynasty. How can we separate Yizhou and King Liu Xun? When we welcomed His Majesty back, the minister and Zhou Xiang had discussed the world's affairs with Your Majesty. Your Majesty also thought that The clan should not be officials or generals. I don’t know why your majesty thinks this way today? Your majesty, don’t forget the chaos of the six kingdoms. For the sake of the great man and the clan, I hope your majesty will think twice.” Xun Chen said very tactfully.

"If it wasn't for Erqing, I would have almost mistaken myself." Liu Xie was afraid for a while. "This matter has been exposed at this point, don't bring it up again. Erqing will tell Zhou Qing for me, and I look forward to him recovering the Han River and Mountain as soon as possible, and welcome me back to the capital."

After sending Xun Chen and Mu Qiu away, Liu Xie immediately recruited Han Hu, Liu Ming, and Liu Liang, and ordered the emperor's grandson Liu Kang to be imprisoned in the Zongzheng Mansion, prohibiting going out and visiting, and permanently imprisoning him.

It was Liu Kang's idea to make Liu Xun king. When Liu Kang learned that Liu Xun occupied Yizhou, he bewitched Liu Xie. Xie's surrender can bring peace to the world as soon as possible. Liu Xie somehow listened to Liu Kang's words. Fortunately, Liu Xie didn't say anything explicitly, but sent Liu Ming to ask Zhou Cang's opinion.

What Mu Qiu said was what Zhou Cang meant. Zhou Cang didn't care about the affairs of the clan, and Liu Xie, the king and marquis, made his own decisions, but he couldn't take charge of the government and soldiers.It's just that Mu Qiu used Liu Bei to talk about things. If you make Liu Xun king today, maybe he will become emperor tomorrow.

Xun Chen directly spoke out about the chaos of the Six Kingdoms, and told Liu Xie clearly that you can't control these princes.

How is Liu Xie not afraid?He was afraid that Zhou Cang would mistakenly think that he wanted to promote the clan as his own power and cut Zhou Cang's power.When he was careless and confused, he was even more afraid that Liu Kang would not give up and persuade him with this idea, then Liu Kang's thoughts would be terrible.

No need to ask Liu Kang to verify anything, Liu Xie decisively banned Liu Kang again, but it was no longer a foot ban, but a permanent ban.In the following days, apart from concentrating on writing books, Liu Xie taught his youngest son Liu Ji, abandoning all the arts of the emperor, and taught according to the new standards and requirements, lest Liu Ji give birth to any other ideas.

An event that might cause a bloody storm came and went quietly without taking away a single cloud.

In Xiangyang, Zhou Xin, Deng Ai, Sha Zan and others have been arguing for nearly a month about when to send troops to Yizhou and how to march.

Deng Ai believes that Zhang Jaw's dispatch of troops to Liangzhou has nothing to do with the dispatch of troops to Yizhou, and it can completely start the war in Yizhou.He even thought that without waiting for Meng Da to do anything in Yizhou, he could enter Yong'an with the navy to clear the way.

Sha Zan thought that there were many mountains in the middle of Sichuan, and the navy might clear the way, but it would be difficult to do anything after that. There was no rush to send troops, so it was better to wait for a month or two. The Shanyue people, who are good at fighting in the mountains, enriched their troops.

Zhou Xin thinks that what the two of them said is reasonable, but this period of time can't be idle, in addition to supplementing the mountain combat army, we can also make a deeper layout...
