Governor please stay

Unexpectedly, Liu Yishou changed the subject and said, "But General Zhu Hun's loyalty is comparable to that of the sun and the moon. It's just...is it too cruel to kill Er Zhurong's relatives? As soon as I entered the city, I smelled the smoke. bloody smell."

Liu Yishou squinted his eyes and looked at Ke Zhu Hunyuan thoughtfully. The invisible pressure made Ke Zhu Hunyuan's hair stand on end in an instant!

"Returning to my lord, some members of the Erzhu family are so stubborn that they actually resisted! The final general was afraid of missing the lord's important event, so he could only kill him. However, Er Zhurong's sons did not participate in the resistance, and the final general has already protected them." Wake up, my lord, please don't worry."

But Zhu Hunyuan was so anxious that he was sweating profusely, and quickly knelt down on one knee to explain.

Liu Yishou helped him up, patted the dust off his body and said:

"But General Zhu Hun is too worried, life and death depend on wealth and honor, and some people from the Erzhu family are used to domineering.

Not killing is not enough for civilian indignation.I don't mean to blame you. "

The inexplicable pressure suddenly eased, but Zhu Hunyuan felt as if he had been pardoned. Just now, he seemed to have walked before the gate of hell, and couldn't help panting heavily to calm his violent heartbeat.

"Let's go, take me to Er Zhurong's mansion to have a look."

Liu Yishou patted Ke Zhu Hunyuan on the shoulder, and made a gesture of "please lead the way".

Chapter 698

Er Zhurong originally thought that Liu Yishou would have a "long talk" with him, reminiscing about the past.Unexpectedly, the other party didn't seem to have that meaning at all!

After staying in Jinyang for a few days and settling things here, Liu Yishou was ready to leave and return to Xingyang.

When he was going to pass through Luoyang, he would go there to see how the new city was being built.As for Er Zhurong, Liu Yishou didn't know what to say to him, and he didn't think there was any point in showing off in front of Er Zhurong.

A person with low self-esteem needs constant affirmation from others in order to recast himself; but now that Liu Yishou has become famous and is about to sweep the world, he no longer has that deformed psychological need.Putting an X in front of Er Zhurong can't prove anything, let alone change anything.

For the past, just let it pass, and face it with neither humility nor overbearing.

Liu Yishou thought about this very clearly: It seems to be good to let the image of Er Zhurong, who was submissive and never uttered a word of evil to Er Zhurong, remain in the other party's heart.

Soon, Yang Xiuzhi led a group of people to leave Jinyang first, and Er Zhurong and his family members were among them.Liu Yishou planned to send these people to Jiankang for resettlement;

In addition, Liu Yishou left Wei Xiaokuan to guard Jinyang, and named him the governor of Bingzhou and the prefect of Taiyuan County; The prefect; Yao Nanzong guarded the township and county, and was the prefect of the township and county, all under the control of Wei Xiaokuan.

Tax and rent adjustments in various places have different degrees of reduction and exemption, mainly for recuperation, and are not in a hurry to liquidate local tycoons and big households.

Liu Yishou himself took Ke Zhu Hunyuan and his family members, more than a thousand cronies, and returned to Xingyang to join Yu Jin.

The news of the conquest of Bingzhou spread to Jiankang, and the ruling and opposition parties were excited!Since Liu Yu's Northern Expedition for more than a hundred years, this is the first time that the southern army has fought against the Yellow River. The substantial siege north of the Yellow River is of great significance and needless to say.

Chen Yuankang wrote to the Son of Heaven, requesting that Liu Yishou be given nine tins.

So what is Jiuxi?

Jiuxi is also called "Nine Gifts", mainly including: chariots and horses, tigers, clothes, Lexian, Zhuhu, Nabi, scorpion, yue, bow and arrow nine items. The symbolic meaning of these items is far higher than its practicality. significance.

In short, before every powerful minister usurps the throne, he will add nine tins to "prove" that he is in power.

Just look at who has added Jiuxi in history, and you will know what this thing means.

People who have already been added to Jiuxi in this time and space, including but not limited to (not excluding the situation that the Caotai team added but the official history did not record): Wang Mang, Cao Cao, Sun Quan, Sima Zhao, some Sima's vassals during the Eight Kings Rebellion of the Western Jin Dynasty Wang, Shi Le, Shi Hu, Huan Xuan, Liu Yu, Xiao Daocheng, Xiao Yan.

In addition to the above-mentioned people, Liu Yishou's previous history added: Hou Jing, Chen Baxian, Yang Jian, Li Yuan, etc.

Each of them is a careerist, and most of them have changed their dynasties.

Now Jiuxi has become synonymous with usurping the throne and changing the dynasty, adding Jiuxi is also a necessary process in the process of usurping the throne.

Whoever adds Jiuxi is basically equivalent to usurping the throne, it just depends on whether the timing is right.

Chen Yuankang proposed to add nine gifts to Liu Yishou in the court hall in order to reward Liu Yishou for his achievements in capturing Bingzhou. This is no longer a hint, but an explicit statement!

In the civil and military affairs of the Manchu Dynasty, no one came out to stop and persuade.So the emperor issued an edict to add nine tins to Liu Yishou, the king of Wu, in order to reward the king of Wu for his achievements in opening up the territory.After the edict was promulgated, the horses were sent to Xingyang, and the entire Jiankang court fell into deathly silence, waiting for Liu Yishou's reply.

If Liu Yishou agrees to add nine tins to himself, the bureaucrats in Jiankang City will start to prepare for the establishment of the new dynasty.

If Liu Yishou unexpectedly refused, then the big event of welcoming the new emperor can be delayed.

……

On the shore of Suoshui outside Xingyang City, Liu Yishou was fishing again, wearing a bamboo hat, no different from an ordinary fisherman.At this time, it was early spring, and the water in the northern river was thawing. As the water temperature rose, the fish began to become active. It was a good time for fishing.

"My lord, great joy, the emperor has added nine tins to my lord, here is the imperial edict."

Wang Wei held a white silk book in his hand, and carefully handed it to Liu Yishou.

"You go to Jiankang yourself, and say that my merits are shallow, that I am not worthy of this honor, and that I can't be called Jiuxi."

Liu Yishou frowned slightly and said that he didn't seem to care much about it.

Are you still pretending at this juncture?

Wang Wei was taken aback for a moment, not sure what Liu Yishou wanted to do.

"Jiu Xi, you have the name of a traitor but you don't have the power to be a minister. You don't want it. You go and tell Changyou (Chen Yuankang's name) to let him brew for a while, abolish the title of King of Wu on my head, and change it to King of Han; Enfeoff Luoyang, enfeoff the country as Han, and let me guard the gate of the country in the north for the emperor."

Liu Yishou said calmly.

Wang Wei gasped!Liu Shi, the Han Dynasty, really has a big picture!

It's right not to add Jiuxi, because Liu Yishou's way of playing is to touch the guy under his hand, shout more beautiful words, not to lose a piece of meat, but the impression is much better!It will not come true!

What's the point of adding a nine tin, it's all flashy things.Do you really want to be like Sima Zhao and make yourself so stinky that you have to write the word usurper on your face?

"Understood, let's do it next time."

Wang Wei folded his sleeves and bowed deeply to Liu Yishou, then turned and left.

"I can't hold back anymore."

Liu Yishou couldn't help but sigh with emotion.

It is Chen Yuankang's own idea to propose adding Jiuxi, but this idea is probably not his personal will, but many people are impatient.Otherwise, why would Chen Yuankang dare not discuss with him, and then play this game directly?

The current situation is that the change of dynasty is just a step away.Chen Yuankang and others believed that the capture of Bingzhou had already achieved "the achievement of destroying the country", and it was time for Liu Yishou to become emperor himself, and it was no longer worth bearing the name of the Xiao family.

However, Liu Yishou felt that it would be far more chic and comfortable for the officials in power to kill the emperor than to establish a feudal state of the "Great Han Kingdom" first, to elevate the central organization of Jiankang, and finally usurp the throne quietly.

That is to say, first let the territory of the "Great Han Kingdom" be infinitely large, then reduce the Liang Kingdom to only Jiankang, relocate all the original central institutions to Luoyang, and leave a set of facilities in Jiankang to deal with errands. The team will do.

The emperor of the Xiao family is still the emperor, but the government orders are not issued in Jiankang, and there are no courtiers to serve him.

After the world is settled, find a place to settle the Xiao royal family, set up "Liang Guo", and let Xiao Huan's descendants continue to be his Liang Guo emperors.And who stipulated that a country cannot be a place the size of a palm?

Of course, if Xiao Dong really couldn't bear it and chose to abdicate, then he was up to it, and Liu Yishou had no objections.

At this moment, Liu Yishou saw that Yu Jin was also wearing a bamboo hat and carrying a fishing basket to fish, so he hurriedly called him over to sit down.

"Gao Huan is very quiet."

After Yu Jin sat down, she couldn't help sighing with emotion.According to common sense, Liang Jun crossed the Yellow River, deployed defenses on the north bank, and occupied Fangtou, an important support point.Gao Huan has no reason to stay still at all!

There is a possibility that Gao Guiyan, a [-]-year-old boy, stabbed Gao Huan in the back, which was really a bit ruthless.

The military rations that Wei Jun stationed in Chaoge were burned by Liang Jun. The loss of Wei Jun was not ordinary.Because it was already winter at that time, and it was not long after the autumn harvest, and it took at least seven or eight months for the new grain to arrive.

If he wants to regain the many strongholds on the north bank of the Yellow River, Gao Huan must humbly ask Hebei families in Jizhou and other places to borrow food.

Judging from the current comparison of the strengths of the two warring parties, how many people are willing to lend military rations to Gao Huan?Without food and grass, the army can only garrison one place for defense, and it is very good to be able to maintain the front line.

"Probably because of the lack of military rations."

Liu Yishou sighed, Gao Guiyan's rebellion was beyond his expectation; Gao Huan's brief collapse in Hebei was also beyond his expectation.Yu Jin seized the opportunity, and this wave of offensive went well. This was just an accident, not a mistake.

If Liang Jun continues to go north, it is unknown whether Gao Huan will be wiped out.

Of course, sending troops from Xingyang to the north now is not a good thing for the pacification of Hebei.Without Gao Huan, Gao Gan and the others would be pushed to the fore by the Hebei family, and Liang Jun would not be allowed to easily take over the hinterland of Hebei.These Hebei aristocratic families need talents, talents, territory, and parts. The strength and strength of Henan are not easy to match.

More importantly, in this wave of battles, Liang Jun's supply line was stretched very long. Although Bingzhou had been pacified, the soldiers were exhausted and were returning to Xingyang one after another.On the Jiankang side, Yang Min has already exerted all his strength and sent all the food, grass and luggage that can be delivered. The supplies cannot be changed out of thin air, and in the short term, they will no longer be able to support the front line.

If you want to make more efforts, you must make peace with the aristocratic families of the Southern Dynasty, and ask them for food and supplies, which will inevitably sacrifice a lot of future political interests.

Liu Yishou would rather delay the unification of the world by a year than make such an opening, which will make it difficult to clean up later.

Sending troops to Hebei can only wait until this winter, and it is unknown even if they enter the pass from Tongguan. It is not necessary to take Gao Huan first.

"When I came back this time, I went to Luoyang. Oh, it's really hard to describe."

Liu Yishou suddenly brought up the matter of Luoyang.

"Having trouble building the new city?"

Yu Jin asked suspiciously, he didn't seem to have heard of any problems encountered during the construction of the new city. Many building materials were taken from the old city, which saved a lot of material costs and transportation costs. How could there be problems?

"The new city will take a year or two to build. I mean the old city...has been demolished to the point where only Luoyang Palace remains."

There was regret in Liu Yishou's tone.

The first stop he came to this world was Luoyang. He saw the majestic and unusual Luoyang City in the Northern Wei Dynasty, and was shocked that the Xianbei rulers could expand the old Luoyang City to such a large scale under the conditions of such backward productivity.

Even if the new Luoyang city is being built now, it is only more than half of the old city.

Liu Yishou felt that building a "city circle" in the future would be much better than a huge and unmanageable bloated city.

"Only Luoyang Palace is left..."

Yu Jin couldn't help but feel a burst of emotion.He has lived in Luoyang for several years, and he behaves carefully. From a wanted criminal to the leader of the forbidden army, the hardships he has traveled along the way can only be said that whoever leaves will know, which is not enough for outsiders.

"When I entered Luoyang, I still laughed at the Baichilou you were stationed in. It was a dangerous building a hundred feet high, and you could pick up the stars; you didn't dare to speak loudly, for fear of frightening the heavenly beings. This time when you passed Luoyang from Bingzhou, Jinyong City was demolished. Now, Baichilou stands there alone, like a..."

Liu Yishou gestured with both hands, not knowing how to describe it for a moment.That place now looks like a devil's blockhouse: neither beautiful nor useful.

The old city of Luoyang was abandoned, and the defensive facilities inside it also lost their function.The fall of the old dynasty and the rise of a new dynasty are like the birth and death of human beings.

"Although the addition of Jiuxi by the imperial court is exciting, the impact is very bad. It reminds people of Sima Zhao and his ilk. The lord started at the beginning, his foundation is not deep, and there is no way out. Running on the eaves... Now that there are no strong enemies outside, and no strong vassals inside, the Lord doesn't need to take risks like this."

Yu Jin wanted to say more, but Liu Yishou waved his hand lightly to him.

"Just now, I ordered Wang Wei to return to Jiankang to handle errands. I have already refused to add Jiuxi."

Liu Yishou said with a smile.

Sure enough, as expected of you!

Yu Jin let out a long breath, and scolded with a smile: "You said that I have such a good memory, how could I forget how the lord started his business? It's not the lord's turn to get carried away!"

"Isn't that right! Hebei is still undecided, so why add Jiuxi. Old Chen is full for this wave."

Liu Yishou stood up, stretched his waist and said.

The people sent by Feng Linghua delivered a very important message to him yesterday: the Hebei family intends to recommend the Bohai Gao brothers to raise troops in Xindu!Resist Gao Huan's "tyranny"!

Of course, whether this matter can be accomplished is another matter.

And even if these people succeed, they will only turn the high-ranking cadres into another "Gao Huan".These people will definitely not directly rely on Liu Yishou for the sake of their own lives.

The Hebei family missed the opportunity of angel investment in the early stage. Even if they surrendered with both hands and feet now, there is no benefit, and they can just make a living, which is far from their psychological gap.

Although these people didn't like Gao Huan, they didn't necessarily like Liu Yishou that much.

Because of this, Liu Yishou felt that it was not ripe to send troops to Hebei immediately, and it would even cause the Hebei family to unite.

Such a big guy in Hebei can't handle it, Jia Jiuxi is not laughing for the world.

"My lord, the scouts have already gone out to Tongguan to investigate. In the scuffle in Guanzhong, Tongguan is useless. The scouts passed through Tongguan safely, almost unguarded! It's time to send troops to Guanzhong!"

Yu Jin suddenly changed the subject and said.

"Guanzhong..."

Liu Yishou fell silent.

Now the best time to send troops to Guanzhong has indeed come.But there is a problem, that is, the transportation of grain, grass and luggage must have a stable supply line.

His original plan was to turn Xingyang into a general logistics base. If you go west, you can take Guanzhong, and if you go north, you can take Hebei.Moreover, there are two other side divisions in the pass, one from Hanzhong to take Chencang Road to Qizhou (Baoji City, Shaanxi), and the other to take Wuguan Road to Lantian.

Liu Yishou personally led the main force to take Puban along Tongguan Road.

Three-way attack together, even if Guanzhong is twisted into one rope, it will be stretched, not to mention that those people are fighting non-stop now, and they are in a mess.

"Guanzhong is broken, and it is impossible to get food locally. Whether we can win in Guanzhong depends on whether the food can be delivered to the frontline soldiers in time.

Let me think about the strategy of attacking Guanzhong first. "

Liu Yishou said solemnly.

As long as the logistics can be supplied, there will be no problem in pacifying Guanzhong.

However, transporting grain and grass to Guanzhong is the biggest problem in itself!
