Chapter 316: Luring the Wolf Into the House
"I heard that Brother Jing Sheng accepted Dong Thief's appointment as a shepherd in Jingzhou?" Liu Ye changed the subject and asked Kuai Yue, the envoy of Jingzhou.
When Kuai Yue heard Liu Ye's sharp words, his head turned rapidly: "Please check the chariot general carefully. Although Liu Jingzhou accepted the appointment of Dong Bandit, it was just a temporary measure. Liu Jingzhou has been training troops in Jingzhou, and he is preparing for the north. Fight Dong Bandit."
"Just as Shang Tang accepted Xia Jie's appointment, he didn't actually submit to the Xia Dynasty. Liu Jingzhou always wanted to attack Dong Zhuo. Unexpectedly, before he sent troops, General Cheqi was born. Full of praise."
Kuai Yue is worthy of being the number one debater in Jingzhou, he turned the facts upside down in an instant, even Liu Ye couldn't help but appreciate it.
"Hehe, that's okay. Since Liu Jingzhou has always had the heart to serve the country, it is naturally very good. However, since Zhang Lu in Hanzhong invaded Shangyong, since he failed to send troops to deal with Dong thief, Liu Jingzhou can't let Liu Jingzhou waste his thoughts in vain and serve the country. Take back Shangyong."
Zhang Lu was bewitched by Dong Zhuo back then, and sent troops from Hanzhong to occupy Shangyong. Hanzhong's geographical location is extremely important. Although Liu Ye occupied Yongliang and Liangzhou, Chang'an was surrounded by prefectures and counties as a whole, and the only weakness at present is Hanzhong.
There is a Yangping Pass in the east of Hanzhong. If the Hanzhong army rushes out of Yangping Pass to the east and gallops all the way, it can even kill the hinterland of Chang'an.
It's just that the crusade against Dong Zhuo was the first major event at the time, so Liu Ye didn't have time to deal with Zhang Lu, but left Ma Teng with more than 10,000 troops and ordered him to maneuver to defend Guanzhong.
Kuai Yue agreed without hesitation, and with a happy expression on his face: "My lord is so loyal, and only sighs that there is no way to serve the country. Thank you for the imperial court's permission!"
Liu Ye couldn't help but chuckle, this Kuai Yue is really a genius.
"Brother Gonglu has worked so hard, please stay in Nanyang. The emperor ordered that Nanyang County be exempted from taxes for three years. This is a great grace." Liu Ye smiled at Yuan Shu. After all, his army was stationed near Luoyang.
Yuan Shu smiled awkwardly: "Thank you, Son of Heaven, for your kindness."
Hello Liu Ye! This guy Cao Cao was named Prime Minister of Jinan, and Yuan Shao's concubine was also named Governor of Pingyuan and Bohai counties, so he rewarded me with a three-year tax exemption of 30% tax?
Yuan Shu wanted to make a big fuss, but after all, he still worried about face, blushed and sat down without saying a word.
The governors of other prefectures and counties also gave orders. Liu Ye asked Yangzhou governor Liu Yao to suppress Fushanyue. The Shanyue tribe is a foreign race in the southeast. In addition to several major mistakes in the repeated northern expeditions, the Shanyue people's constant chaos in the rear was also an important factor.
When Shanyue was finally dealt with in the later stage, Sun Quan was getting older, so naturally he didn't have much aggressive mentality. It can be said that to expand the territory, the local people must basically be conquered. Just like Qin Shihuang's southern conquest of Baiyue, the Shanyue people occupied the land of China. It is not necessary to kill them all, but they must be made to submit.
And Liu Dai is responsible for the post-war reconstruction of Yanzhou. Not long ago, Lu Bu led the Bingzhou Army to rob food, grass, gold and silver. Yanzhou suffered a lot of damage, and the post-war reconstruction work needs to be done well.
"General!"
Drinking lightly, the envoys of all the princes couldn't help but look over.
"Gongda?"
Xun Yu was slightly startled, he recognized it, the person who walked in quickly was his eldest nephew, Xun You? I heard that Liu Ye used Xun You a lot, so he came here suddenly, what happened?
Xun You hurried in, saw Xun Yu forced a smile, and walked to Liu Ye's side.
"Gongda, what's the matter?" Liu Ye frowned. He rarely saw Xun You lose his composure. What happened?
Xun You bowed his head and whispered to Liu Ye for a while, Liu Ye listened, his face suddenly became serious.
"Okay, everyone, please go down first, General Zhang Liao stay here for a while."
"En?" Zhang Liao, the envoy of Lu Bu's army, was taken aback for a moment. Most of the Lu Bu's army were brave men, and Zhang Liao could be considered to be rough but fine, so he was sent to be the envoy.
Seeing Liu Ye's dignified expression, although many envoys were curious about what happened, they all got up and saluted Liu Ye, then turned and left.
"Gongda, if you are free, you and I will meet for a while in the next few days." Xun Yu frankly said something to Xun You in front of everyone, then turned around and left. They are meeting uncles and nephews, so naturally there is no need taboo.
In an instant, the envoys of all the princes walked out of the room, leaving only Zhang Liao and many civil and military personnel under Liu Ye's command.
Before others could speak, Zhang Liao cupped his fists first and said, "General Che Qi, I don't know what happened, why did you leave Liao alone?"
Liu Ye gestured with his eyes, and Xun You said to Zhang Liao: "General Zhang, according to the latest information from our army, the two thieves, Li Jue and Guo Si, who are entrenched in the northern part of Bingzhou, have not changed their minds. Tai and others reached an agreement, the three parties mobilized a total of more than 100,000 troops, ready to invade and annex the state, and go south to Luoyang!"
boom! This news was like a blockbuster, causing an uproar among the crowd.
"The Southern Xiongnu want to go south? Damn it, people who are not of our race really have a different heart. When they came to surrender, it was my Han Dynasty that gave them a place to live. Now they are biting back. They are simply Zhongshan wolves."
"Dong Zhuo was killed. Although Dong Zhuo's army is weak, it has not yet reached the point of collapse. The Li and Guo thieves have at least 30,000 to 40,000 troops, the Baibo thieves also have 40,000 to 50,000, and the Southern Huns also have tens of thousands of people who control strings. All together, it really is an army of more than one hundred thousand!"
Even the experienced Zhang Liao gasped as if he had been hit in the head when he heard the news.
But Zhang Liao came to his senses quickly, took a look at Liu Ye, and immediately clasped his fists and said, "The general of the chariot is victorious in every battle, and the population of Bingzhou is sparse. Everything is under the command of the general of the chariot."
If it was the arrogant Lu Bu, even if the opponent had an army of 100,000, he would dare to bring 3,000 Bingzhou cavalry to fight in, and he would not be willing to submit to Liu Ye. Who made his legs thick.
Liu Ye nodded, with a gloomy expression: "Chen Tang said that whoever offends me will be punished even if he is far away! These barbarians don't stay in the grassland and herd horses, and dare to provoke this general, so there is no need to go back! "
Although everyone in the tent was intimidated by the army of more than 100,000, they were not afraid when they saw Liu Ye, and immediately calmed down.
Jaws open and fists clasped: "Willing to fight with the general!"
"Willing to fight with the general!" shouted in the tent, and the sound shook the sky.
