Mixed in the Three Kingdoms as a strategist

Although Zhang Xiu figured this out, with his intelligence, he couldn't come up with any feasible plan.

Knowing that strategy has never been his forte, he tried to ask the disciples and guests.

Because he has been valued by the emperor recently, he has also recruited a lot of talents, but most of them are wine bags and rice bags. After several days of careful inquiry and careful testing, he has not found even a single available person.

Just when Zhang Xiu was at a loss what to do, suddenly a middle-aged scholar with extraordinary temperament knocked on the door and asked for an interview. With a few words, Zhang Xiu dispelled Zhang Xiu's contempt, and humbly asked for advice.

With this person's suggestion, Zhang Xiu's thinking became much clearer, and he couldn't wait for half a moment, so he went to the palace to face the saint that night.

When he asked to see him outside the hall, Liu Xie was hanging out with Mr. Fu Gui.

Thanks to Zhang Xiu's repeated meritorious deeds, he, the emperor with discerning eyes and talents, also raised his eyebrows, so he didn't feel annoyed when he was disturbed. came in.

Zhang Xiu patiently dealt with the imposing inquiries of the little emperor, and it took him a long time to get to the point: "Forgive me for speaking boldly. Now that Han and Ma are armed with their own force, and there are 15 elite soldiers stationed in Xiliang, Your Majesty only caresses you with officials and nobles. It is a long-term plan. If you really let them go, let them develop a climate, and given time, they may cross the eastward pass and enter the capital at any time, and we will be in danger by then!"

When Liu Xie heard the words, he couldn't help but smiled a little, not because he was grateful for Zhang Xiuzhi's honest and straightforward advice, but because he blamed him for revealing his faults without incident, which added to the unhappiness.

Why doesn't he know the power of Ma and Han, who can't look at the Han family and seek endlessly?But now that the Han Dynasty is in decline, Beijing really listens to his orders, and the troops that can be mobilized are only the [-] Imperial Forest Army. How can they fight against one of the princes?

Although Lu Qing's family is loyal and brave, they are far away in Yuzhou, and the water can't quench their thirst. However, the reason why he didn't want to go to Beijing to report on his work, can't it be blamed on Wang Yun, an old man who relied on his old man to sell his old man and wanted to repay his kindness?

But he, the emperor, looked glamorous, so he couldn't help Wang Yun at all.

I can only swallow my anger and focus on caressing.

But in front of the courtier Zhang Xiu, these words of weakness that harm the emperor's prestige cannot be uttered. Liu Xie's eyes darkened, but he explained in a pleasant manner: "Ai Qing is too worried. However, the two generals are the pillars of the country. Guarding Xiliang for the great man, why not reward him?"

Zhang Xiu had a panoramic view of the changes in Liu Xie's face, and was roughly caught by the counselor who had just joined him. He was both surprised and happy, and immediately said the words he had prepared in advance: "Your Majesty is magnificent, Benevolent and virtuous, Fang does not want to be suspicious of his subordinates, but Ma and Han are greedy and hungry tigers. Once they are not restrained, the capital will have a hard time sleeping and eating. Now that I know it, how can I be indifferent? I am not talented, and I am willing to share the worries for your majesty Solve the problem, be this lobbyist."

"Oh?" Liu Xie was wearing a few high hats by Zhang Xiu, and the displeasure in his heart faded a lot. Hearing the second half of his words, he couldn't help sitting up straight, and asked: "You really have a good plan?"

Zhang Xiu kowtowed and bowed, and said: "I would like to go in person, and state the pros and cons, misfortunes and fortunes for him, so that he will sincerely bow to the mighty emperor's grace, and send the proton to the imperial court."

Proton!

Liu Xie's eyes lit up in an instant.

Hearing that Zhang Xiu was serious and that he had indeed come up with a plan, Liu Xie felt a little bit reluctant while being excited.

Ma and Han are like jackals and tigers. If they fail to reach an agreement, they will turn their faces ruthlessly and disregard the court's face. Even if Zhang Xiu, who is an angel, is beheaded, as the emperor, he can only issue an order to condemn him, and he has nothing to do.

But the result Zhang Xiu described really moved his heart: having a proton in Beijing would not only express the two's submission, but also serve as a warning to lawless princes from all over the world, and would also discourage them from acting rashly.

He was in a dilemma for a while, and he didn't want to take this risk, so as not to lose this powerful general, so he tactfully persuaded: "This trip is dangerous, and the omen is uncertain, Ai Qing should think twice."

Zhang Xiu was firm in his will, and he persuaded Liu Xie, who was still vacillating, with righteous words. His eyes were so moved that he held Zhang Xiu's hand for a long time and refused to let go.

But he didn't know that this loyal and loyal Aiqing completely changed his rhetoric as soon as he came to Ma Teng and Han Sui.

After all, they are all from Xiliang, and they know each other well. Zhang Xiu is the envoy of the emperor who has been very popular recently. He met Han Sui who happened to be a guest at Ma Teng's place without any difficulty. You are welcome to host a special banquet.

After drinking for three rounds, on the branches of the moon, Zhang Xiu caught a look from the accompanying counselors, and asked them to turn away, and said sincerely: "Xiu has something to say to the two adults. If it sounds offensive, please don't argue with Xiu That's good."

Ma Teng and Han Sui's faces were flushed from drinking, but they were still awake. They looked at each other and said, "Just tell me."

Zhang Xiu cupped his fists, and said unceremoniously: "I am young, and I have not long been in power. The power has been controlled by Wang Yun's faction. I am suffering from no one available, so I just retreat and look for the second best, and I value embroidery so much. It's just that embroidery In the middle of the court, there is nothing left to support, and the two generals have an army of hundreds of thousands, are they willing to stand by and stand still, unwilling to share a piece of the pie?"

Ma Teng said disapprovingly: "What a lunatic with big words! You speak lightly, but you don't know that His Majesty doesn't believe that we are loyal after hearing the slander of those literati who only know how to swipe their pens and spit all over the place?"

Zhang Xiu said: "This difficulty is easy to break, it depends on the adults' willingness to part with it."

Han Sui lost his arrogance and asked, "Tell me and listen."

Zhang Xiudao: "If the two generals are willing to send the son to the capital,

When they heard that they were going to send their own blood to Chang'an as a hostage, Han Sui and Ma Teng couldn't help butting their beards and fell silent.

Zhang Xiu knew that there was no need to rush this matter, so she reasoned that she was too drunk to miss the important task entrusted by His Majesty, so she took her leave first.In the next three days, he visited the two frequently, and finally persuaded them with good words and lures, and agreed to send the second son as a hostage.

Ma Teng was more than that. Under Zhang Xiu's persuasion, in order to fully win His Majesty's trust, he overwhelmed his old rival Han Sui who was at odds with him. He not only gritted his teeth and sent his son away, but also adopted a two-pronged approach to send his beloved daughter Yunlu to him. Reluctantly sent to Yeting.

After this matter was completed, Zhang Xiuyijin returned to Beijing, which caused a great commotion.

The two men, Ma and Han, who are self-respecting and domineering, have always been the confidantes of the emperor, down to the ministers and the people, who are close to them, and they can be served by the notorious Dong Zhuo, and they remain unknown Persuaded by the boy, he is willing to be soft, and sends his son-in-law to Beijing as a hostage, and really bows down to His Majesty?

As far as the two parties involved are concerned, reaching this agreement is completely a happy event: Ma Teng and Han Sui won His Majesty's peace of mind and trust just by sending his son away, and he can garrison troops in the important area of ​​the capital in a grand manner. Liu Xie won the proton of the two powers for nothing without paying any price. A new blue-eyed, brown-haired, exotic beauty was added to the harem, and he also got a verbal promise to drive hundreds of thousands of troops at will in critical times .

As for the lobbyist Zhang Xiu who played a key role, he has never been forgotten. He was promoted to a noble by Liu Xie of Longyan Dayue, and personally bestowed with jade clothes.

Before the news spread, a family in central Beijing released dozens of cooing white pigeons one after another in the backyard at night.

A few days later, Yan Qing, who was far away in Yangzhou, became one of the first to hear the news.

He is fed up with information transmission and can only rely on the orderly horse to run back and forth slowly. Besides, a large living person on a horse, as a target to be intercepted by a sniper, is far better than flying at will, eating, drinking, and sleeping. Pigeons are much bigger.

If one or two are not safe, put a few more.And the information written in the small cloth strips bundled above is all a set of security system based on the Morse code that Yan Qing created. It needs a special person to interpret it to see what it is. There is no need to worry about the pigeon being used with a bow and arrow. After shooting, the information will be stolen.

At the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, although some people were interested in raising pigeons, it was only in the Sui and Tang Dynasties that pigeons with homing talents were really used for communication.

It is easy to find a breeder, but Yan Qing needs to spend a lot of time selecting pigeons and then arrange someone to train them in order to be able to train pigeons according to Yan Qing's wishes, know how to use codes to send messages, and be loyal and alert enough.

It has only recently been used for the first time, and the effect has not disappointed him, it is really excellent.

Even Xu Shu and Guo Jia, who saw him busy for a while, read out the weird symbols like a heavenly script, were not busy paying attention to what Yan Qing read out, but were amazed by it first.

Yan Qing reluctantly pushed away Guo Jia's dead head, which was unceremoniously pillowed on his shoulder for the convenience of reading the letter from behind, and directly copied the content after reading it, and shared it between the two: "Feng Xiao, Yuan Zhi, what do you think about this matter?"

It didn't matter if Guo Jia was pushed away, he took the paper and glanced at it, said: "Master Yu Zhangxiu has the hatred of killing his uncle and destroying power, how can he feel at ease to cling to the young master? He must be waiting for an opportunity to take advantage of the situation, so Fang and Xiliang Ma Han joined forces Lian Heng, make a close alliance, and the blade is really pointing at us. How could Chong Guang be careless back then, and let the tiger go back to the mountain?"

They are both generals, and they only got to this point under the guidance of Zhang Xiu. In terms of emotion and reason, both Ma Teng and Han Sui can make friends with Zhang Xiu and form a faction.

Xu Shu also said: "Zhang Xiu has great ambitions, and he intends to ban the lord from His Majesty's position in His Majesty's heart."

Yan Qing smiled wryly and said: "You think I'm so big-hearted that I don't want to kill the roots? It's just that the one who robbed people was the old general Huangfu who was ordered by His Majesty. He was afraid that I would not let him go, so he brought a thousand dollars with him. Yu Qi."

Guo Jia raised his eyebrows and sneered: "Your Majesty is quite clever."

The villain told Lu Bu to finish, and he slowly reaped the results of the battle, and became the master of identifying heroes.

Xu Shu, who has always been loyal to the Han Dynasty, frowned dissatisfied with such a bad eating appearance.

Yan Qing didn't want to bring up the old incident that had bothered him for a long time, instead he said: "Zhang Xiu has some knowledge in marching and fighting. Famous scholars all cover their noses and pass by, disdain to join their tents, how did they suddenly come up with such an ingenious strategy?"

Guo Jia nodded: "This is a plan for someone to borrow a knife to kill someone. After all, it is aimed at the lord."

After being used as a knife, Zhang Xiu still didn't feel it, but he did get benefits, and he just wanted to go a little further towards the revenge goal he had been thinking about.

Xu Shu also said: "It not only puts a bridle on the Xiliang tiger, but also helps the lord's deadly enemy ascend to the sky in one step. The strategy is precise and vicious, and the plan is huge."

Yan Qing couldn't help but said: "The bridle? Just rely on those two protons? That's not necessarily the case."

At the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, the set of hostages did not seem to be able to pass, and everyone interpreted the point of "a man who doesn't care about trifles" to the fullest.

Even if there are several envoys in the front, it doesn't add the slightest weight.

Don't say that they are just regenerated children. Ma Chao in history, when his father Ma Teng was detained by Cao Cao, still said he would go against it, resulting in his father being killed and the three clans being exiled.

The little emperor wouldn't be so naive as to think that Ma Teng and Han Sui's sending the protons represented a willing submission, and that he only needs to hold them, and he can sit back and relax in the future, right?

But Ma Teng worked hard enough, not only gave his son out, but also his only beloved daughter into the harem.In Yanqing's opinion, he who bet so many chips is doomed to lose all his money: Liu Xie has always been a selfish and selfish man who cheats his wife, and the pillow wind is easy to blow, but he is not reliable at all.

In history, Liu Xie hated Cao Cao for manipulating him as a puppet, which caused the incident of clothes and belts. As a result, the matter was revealed, and Dong Cheng and others were naturally killed. Cao Cao was furious and couldn't move. On the girl's head, Dong Guiren, who was pregnant with a dragon fetus at that time, was beheaded.

Even his wife who was pregnant with his child was going to be killed, Liu Xie just begged for a few words of love, and he had no choice but to stop it.Empress Fu was saddened by the death of the rabbit, and wanted to unite her father to resist, but once things failed, the two princes she gave birth to were given to death by poisoned wine, and she herself was confined to death.

Is Liu Xie's favor useful?

Even if Cao Cao didn't use the trick of coercing the emperor to order the princes, Liu Xie didn't have to be controlled by others everywhere, and he was always afraid that he would be unable to protect himself. Yan Qing didn't think that the emperor with a cold nature could be affectionate and righteous.

... Far less reliable than his family's stingy-looking Bara, who is actually extremely protective of his shortcomings.
