Han Dao world

Liu Xie took off his helmet, handed it to Queen Fushou, took a silk handkerchief, and wiped the sweat from his forehead.

He didn't ask Fushou to wait on him, but Fushou was very active. He brought a few maids to stand aside to wait on him. His little face was flushed by the sun and he refused to leave, stubbornly showing his existence.

Liu Xie could vaguely guess a little bit of her thoughts, but it was hard to tell, so she had to let her go.

Fu Shou offered a glass of water, Liu Xie drank it all in one gulp, and asked for another glass.

Wearing heavy armor and practicing sword skills for a long time, he was sweating profusely, his mouth was dry, and a glass of water did not quench his thirst at all.

Several maids around the queen also served tea to Wang Yue and others.Looking at the outstanding and shy palace maids, these rough men swallowed hard one by one, full of energy, and no one wanted to complain of being tired.

Shi Sunrui walked up to the emperor and bowed.

"Your Majesty has the ambition to teach martial arts. It's a great man's fortune. It's just that everything should be done step by step, and there is no haste, and haste makes waste."

"What Wei Wei said is true." Liu Xie nodded. "It's a pity that Wang Situ was so angry at the time that he didn't accept Weiwei's loyal words, otherwise, why would the situation be like this."

Sun Rui was silent.

Back then when Wang Yun wanted to kill all the people in Xiliang, he did try hard to persuade him, but Wang Yun refused to listen, which led to a catastrophe.But Wang Yun has passed away. As an old friend of Wang Yun, it is not appropriate for him to criticize Wang Yun in front of the emperor, so as to implicate Wang Yun's posthumous name.

Liu Xie didn't continue this topic, but instead asked, "Wei Wei is asking to see you, what's the matter?"

Shi Sunrui looked at Lang Guan who was practicing, and frowned slightly. "I heard that Your Majesty has selected some cavalry from Zhijinwu camp. I am very puzzled. Although not in the palace city, Zhijinwu still has the duty of fire and water. If a fire breaks out in a mixed camp, and Zhijinwu is short of manpower, how can I do it?" Is good?"

Liu Xie glanced at Sun Rui, but said nothing.

It's almost this time, what do you still care about?

Besides, I only picked 51 people, and it affected Zhi Jinwu to fight the fire?

These old ministers like to beat around the bush and make side attacks when they speak.

Seeing that the emperor did not answer his topic, Shi Sunrui was helpless, and continued: "Is your majesty worried about Duan Yan's attack? I dare to protect my family. Duan Yan is loyal to the court and will not rebel."

Liu Xie smiled slightly. "Wei Wei is here alone, how can he protect his family?"

Shi Sun Rui was slightly stagnant, with an embarrassed expression, and his old face was slightly red.

He just said it casually, but he didn't expect Liu Xie to pick out his language problems.

Liu Xie ordered someone to fetch two beds, and greeted Sun Rui to sit down and talk.Shi Sunrui hesitated for a moment, but sat down anyway.Although this sitting posture is slightly indecent, but at this moment, it is indeed not the time to pay attention to these details.

Liu Xie cut to the chase. "Wei Wei thinks that when we arrive in Shan County, Zhang Jineng can switch to give way and let the imperial court return east in a leisurely manner?"

Sun Rui was silent.

In fact, anyone with a discerning eye knows that Zhang Ji, like Li Jue and Guo Si, wants to coerce the court and order the world.It was not out of selfishness that he supported the emperor to leave Chang'an. Once he drove to Shan County, he had just left the tiger's den and entered the wolf's den.

Liu Xie then asked: "Does Wei Wei think that Li Jue and Guo Si will be able to let go and forget about each other with the court?"

Shi Sunrui sighed. "Your Majesty has far-reaching thoughts, which is good. It's just that teaching and practicing martial arts cannot be accomplished in a day, and can only be done slowly."

The corner of Liu Xie's mouth twitched slightly. "What Wei Wei said is very true. Haste makes waste. It is better to stand up and do it than to sit and talk. Although it is not a day to learn about military training, but every day's hard work will pay off. It is worse than sitting and waiting for death."

He patted his knee lightly, and said again: "There are more than a thousand tigers and feathers in Guangluxun's camp, and there are no more than five available people. In the Jinwu camp, there are hundreds of halberds and tweezers, and only fifty people are available. How many people are there in the Weiwei battalion?"

Sun Rui got up and bowed his hands in salute. "The minister is incompetent and neglects to practice. Your Majesty, please punish the minister for dereliction of duty."

Liu Xie waved his hand, motioning for scholar Sun Rui to sit down and talk.

"Wei Wei has a strategy in his chest, which is not comparable to ordinary scribes. I know it. These years, the court has been forced by thieves, and even I can't do it, let alone Wei Wei. Now that he is out of Chang'an, he is no longer controlled by others. This is a rare opportunity. I should strengthen myself, and you should not slack off. Wei Wei thinks so?"

"Your Majesty's words are true." Shi Sun Rui raised his head slowly, with small flames jumping in his eyes. "It's just that there are few soldiers and few generals, and the situation has been lost. How does His Majesty plan to deal with it?"

Liu Xie turned his head to look at Shi Sun Rui, with the corners of his mouth slightly raised, revealing a meaningful smile.

The Kanto will go out, and the Kansai will go out.Although the scholar Sun Rui is a famous scholar in Guanzhong, he is still fierce and available.

Wang Yuneng succeeded in assassinating Dong Zhuo, and Shi Sun Rui was a meritorious minister, but Wang Yun took the credit and was proud, thinking that the credit was all his own.

In contrast, Shi Sunrui was able to take advantage of the trend and avoid the disaster of killing himself without taking credit.

Of course, he died at the end of the sword of Xiliang soldiers in the battle not long after.

When the building collapses, how many people can become perfect eggs?

If you want to survive, you can only fight back, put it to death and survive.

"There is no other, use the way to control it."

"Defend it with Tao?" Shi Sun Rui was puzzled for a moment.

Liu Xie nodded and pointed to Wang Yue and others who were practicing.Shi Sunrui's reaction was within his expectation.In the face of such veterans and wise men, it is not enough to just say a few big words and stereotypes, and we must come up with some practical countermeasures.

"Enter the space with no thickness, even though the size of the blade, it can kill a thousand catties of cattle. The generals in Xiliang are the same but not at peace. If they can make good use of them, they may be able to cross them and break them in one fell swoop. When Emperor Guangwu was in Kunyang, Destroy Wang Mang's 40 army with three thousand sharp soldiers. If the sky does not abandon Han, I would like to follow the story of Guangwu and try my hand at the sword. Wei Wei Yunwen Yunwu, superior in wisdom, would you like to help me?"

Liu Xie looked at Shi Sun Rui with a half-smile, with a determined and calm expression.

I'm going to fight Li Jue and Guo Si desperately, what are you veterans going to do?

Shi Sun Rui stared at Liu Xie and looked again and again, with a smile rippling from the corner of his eyes.

He is not a pedantic person, he can understand Liu Xie's intentions, and he can see Liu Xie's wisdom and courage beyond ordinary people.

It is wisdom to be able to see that the generals in Xiliang are united and not in harmony in a crisis, and that there is an opportunity to take advantage of.

It is courage to put it to death and survive, and fight hard.

He got up again and made a big gift. "I take the liberty to ask Your Majesty to explain in detail."

Liu Xie smiled, waved his hand, and signaled Sun Ruian to sit down.

Obtaining Shi Sun Rui's support was originally part of his plan, and it was no less important than fooling Yang Feng and keeping Duan Yao steady.

He can make up his mind and make plans, but the specific operation requires the cooperation of Shi Sun Rui.

Combining the memory of the two generations, he knows very well that Sun Rui, the guard, is almost the only minister who is proficient in military affairs among the three lords and nine ministers, and the guards under his command are also the main force that cannot be ignored in the Forbidden Army. After finishing speaking, he commanded the halberd and the cavalry.

Liu Xie pulled out his dagger and drew a sketch on the ground. "How does Wei Wei see the situation in Kanto?"

Sun Rui was stunned for a moment.Didn't you mean the war in front of you? Why did it suddenly involve the situation in Kanto?

Liu Xie said again: "Wei Wei thinks, at this moment, can Luoyang still be the imperial capital?"

Shi Sun Rui's eyes dimmed, and he let out a long sigh.When Dong Zhuo left Luoyang, he not only looted with troops, but also set fire to the city. The once prosperous Luoyang city had long been in ruins.

"Your Majesty, if you don't go back to Luoyang, where can you go?"

Chapter 13 Ginger is old and spicy

"Hedong." Liu Xie said lightly.

Shi Sunrui frowned, his eyes narrowed slightly.He raised his head and stared into Liu Xie's eyes.

"Go to Hedong first, and then to Taiyuan." Liu Xie said while drawing on the ground. "Leaning on the Taihang on the left, relying on the great river on the right, garrisoning fields and planting valleys, training soldiers and protecting the people, so as to observe the changes in the world."

Shi Sunrui gasped, his eyes changed a few times, and when he looked at Liu Xie again, he was a little more surprised and awed.

The emperor's vision is so high and the structure is so big, far beyond his expectations.

Although this strategy is rough and difficult to implement, it has more opportunities than returning to Luoyang.

After being pleasantly surprised, Shi Sunrui calmed down and reminded: "Your Majesty, in the world of Luoyang, the Son of Heaven does not live, and someone will take advantage of it."

Liu Xie said with a smile: "When Emperor Gao was in hibernation in Hanzhong, Xiang Yu called himself the overlord of Western Chu, and when he was about to rule the world, why not stop at Luoyang?"

Sun Rui blinked his eyes. "Xiang Yu was crowned with a monkey, and died a worthy death. But now that the Guandong Prefectures and counties are rising together, all the people with great insight may not be Xiang Yu."

Liu Xie smiled even brighter. "When Emperor Gao entered Xianyang, Ziying abdicated and wished to be the King of Qin. If the fate of the Han Dynasty is over, and there are people in Guandong Prefecture who are like Emperor Gao, I would like to obey the fate and follow Ziying to resign from the throne to treat the sages. But if they just Xiang Yu, I have no choice but to do what I can, follow the story of Emperor Guangwu, and continue my luck for the great man for a few more years."

Shi Sun Rui raised his eyebrows and stared at Liu Xie for a while. "Your Majesty, this..."

"This is what I say from the bottom of my heart." Liu Xie said word by word: "I hope Wei Wei learns from it."

Shi Sun Rui was startled slightly, the long-lost excitement welled up in his chest, and his eyes couldn't help getting moist.He stood up, straightened his clothes, and bowed.

"Received the grace of the country, I am willing to pledge myself to the country and serve your Majesty like a dog and a horse. I will die."

The emperor treats him as a national scholar and entrusts him with a sincere heart, so he should naturally commit himself to the country.

Liu Xie also stood up and returned the salute respectfully. "Weiwei will not fail me, and I will not fail Weiwei. You and my monarchs and ministers will work together to build peace, and do our best for the great man and the suffering people of the world."

"only!"

"Wei Wei, please sit down." Liu Xie pulled Sun Rui back into his seat and explained the current situation in detail.

Shi Sunrui is the mainstay of his high hopes. The deeper the understanding of the plan, the more effective it will be executed.

His plan is simple.

Since the Kanto is in chaos and Luoyang cannot return, then go to Hedong and Bingzhou.

In order to achieve this goal, he not only had to break through Zhang Ji's blocking, but also deal with the possible pursuit of Li Jue and Guo Si at any time.

The main force of the Forbidden Army was vulnerable, and the strength of the three generals Yang Feng was also limited, not enough to deal with Zhang Ji, Li Jue, and Guo Si at the same time, so while preventing Yang Feng from merging with Duan Yan, he sent Yang Biao to persuade Duan Yan and sent Huangfu Li went to stabilize Zhang Ji so that he could free up his hands and concentrate his forces to face Li Jue and Guo Si.

Even so, he still had little chance of winning.Li Jue and Guo Si have fought for a long time, and Xiliang soldiers are brave. If you want to defeat them, you must be fully prepared.

The rectification of the forbidden army is an important step, and the guards under the command of Shi Sun Rui and the fifth school of the Northern Army are even more important.

After hearing Liu Xie's plan, Shi Sun Rui was surprised and delighted.

The Son of Heaven not only has an overall vision and grasps the situation of the world, but also thinks a lot about the situation in front of him.

It is not easy to stand tall, see far, and be more down-to-earth. It is not easy to get one end, let alone both.

Deng Quan is right, the emperor has changed, but he has become smarter.

This is an auspicious omen of the great man's unfinished destiny, and it is also the true meaning of the vision that descended from heaven a few days ago.

Thinking of these, Shi Sun Rui felt that the blood that had been silent for a long time was getting hot again.

Even so, he said without hesitation: "Your Majesty's words are true. It's just that the forbidden army is neglected in battle and can't be used. The three generals are rebellious, and they are at odds with each other. They can't rely on it as a dry city. Take the initiative to attack and fight for victory. Wildness is tantamount to taking death."

Liu Xie nodded with a smile. "According to Weiwei's opinion, what should we do?"

Shi Sun Rui took the dagger from Liu Xie and drew a few lines on the ground, causing the loess to fly. "According to the minister's opinion, we should set up camps in these places and wait for work with ease..."

Liu Xie listened quietly.

A few days ago, Zhong Yao took a few people to check the nearby map and added many details that were not originally on the map.After listening to the report, Liu Xie had a relatively accurate grasp of the nearby terrain, and he could understand what Shi Sun Rui said.

Generally speaking, Shi Sunrui's plan coincides with his plan.

Whether it is the Imperial Army, Yang Ding, or Dong Cheng, they are not strong enough to face Li Jue and Guo Si head-on, so defending against danger has become one of the few choices.Sanfu had a severe drought last year, and the people were displaced, and many people went out to flee. The nearby people were sparsely populated, and the food that could be looted was limited. Li Jue and Guo Si could not hold on for long, at most ten days and a half months, and they would inevitably run out of food and retreat.

Therefore, the key to victory is to find a terrain suitable for defense, and then find a way to store enough food.

The only fly in the ointment is that Shi Sunrui's plan is defensive but not offensive.

Liu Xie patiently listened to Shi Sun Rui's plan, thought for a while, and then said: "The art of war says that both offense and defense are available. Why is this plan defensive or not?"

Shi Sunrui returned the dagger with both hands, and said with a wry smile: "Your Majesty, the current situation is more than enough to defend, but not enough to attack. Rather than risking an attack, it is better to be defensive and wait for the enemy to retreat. Then the whole army will advance eastward and force Zhang Ji to bow his head. Your Majesty can cross the river safely. , and stationed in Hedong. In the future, if you have successfully trained your troops and stockpiled provisions, it is not too late to fight Li Jue and Guo Si again."

Liu Xie frowned slightly, pondered for a moment, and said again: "What if you invite the Baibo army to help?"

Introducing the Baibo army as aid has always been the focus of his plan, but he did not take the initiative to mention it because of the minister's prejudice against the Baibo army.

"Baibo Army?" Shi Sun Rui was taken aback, then shook his head and said, "Your Majesty, I think it's impossible."

"Why?"

"Among the three generals, Yang Feng is the bravest and always has arrogance. With the help of the Baibo army, Yang Feng will be in great difficulty, and he will not know how to be domineering in the future."

Liu Xie looked at Sun Rui, noncommittal.

Shi Sunrui said earnestly: "Your Majesty, everything can be done with forewarning, and nothing can be done without forewarning. When His Majesty is stationed in Hedong, naturally he has to contact the Baibo army, but at this moment, using the Baibo army for help will have little benefit but great harm."

“How come you see?”

"Forgive me for speaking bluntly. The imperial court was first controlled by Dong Zhuo, then by Li Jue and Guo Si, and the majesty was swept away. If the Baibo army is used as a reinforcement, even if Li Jue and Guo Si are defeated, the Baibo army will be cited as their own merit. In the future, your majesty will go to Hedong , It is also relying on others, unable to be independent. Why don't we repel Li Jue and Guo Si with the current force, so as to show that the imperial court still has the strength to fight."

After Shi Sun Rui finished speaking, he looked at Liu Xie with piercing eyes and earnest eyes.

After Liu Xie thought for a while, he understood what Shi Sun Rui meant, and couldn't help but feel embarrassed.

Older gingers are more spicy.Shi Sunrui is worthy of being a veteran minister with a meticulous mind.If you really want to use the Baibo army as your own plan, even if you defeat Li Jue and Guo Si, it will not be a good thing, but may cause disaster.

"What Qing said is true." Liu Xie was bitter in his heart, showing a self-deprecating smile.

"Your Majesty...do you think it's feasible?" Shi Sun Rui asked cautiously.

Liu Xie understood Shi Sun Rui's meaning and smiled slightly. "Not only is it feasible, but it is absolutely necessary."

Shi Sun Rui felt relieved, stroked his beard and smiled.
