Fuji [Four Beauties]

A few days have passed since that day of discussion.Song Ci, who had been waiting for news, finally got the response from Liu Xie and Xun Yu.In the past few days, Liu Xie and Xun Yu had several long conversations.What they talked about was not only what Song Ci had confessed before, but also other things. Of course, the question of where to go must be indispensable.

After repeated detailed discussions, Liu Xie and Xun Yu came to Song Ci again.Seeing them, Song Ci, who had been waiting anxiously, felt relieved.

After entering the room, the three of them sat down one after another.

Song Ci asked impatiently, "Have you thought about it yet?"

Liu Xie and Xun Yu looked at each other, and Liu Xie said first: "Sister, if you do this, you are not afraid of being drawn into the vortex and unable to get out?"

After waiting for a few days, Song Ci became a little impatient for such a non-salty question, and she said directly: "You guys are all men, whether you want to do it or not, can you give me a quick word? Don't do that." Mother-in-law and mother-in-law are procrastinating, if you don’t do it, you will fall down, I will go right away, I don’t care how you play.”

Hearing her words, Liu Xie hurriedly said: "Sister, don't be angry, we just don't want to involve you."

Song Ci was angry and funny: "At this moment, what are you still talking about machismo? Don't you want me to get involved, so I can stay out of it? Which part of the world is still a happy place today? If you two think that I am just a girl, I shouldn't be involved in such a thing, and I have nothing to say, just pull it off."

Liu Xie hurriedly explained: "No, no, that's not what we mean."

"Then what do you mean?"

Xun Yu who was at the side said, "Grand...no, Miss Song, His Majesty wants to ask you to conspire with us in a big matter, but he is afraid of hurting you, so he has no intention of belittling you."

"At a time like this, why are you talking about getting involved or not? If you don't want to do this kind of thing, even if someone puts a knife on your neck, it's just driving ducks to the shelf. Since it's a big deal together, no one will Who will be hurt. I never thought that I would hurt you. Since I want to do it, I have nothing to say." Song Ci said again.

After she finished speaking, Liu Xie stood up.His expression was very excited, and there was some hint of generosity. He said loudly: "In that case, the three of us will make an oath here today. From now on, we will help each other and save all people from fire and water. Do not deviate from this oath, if you break this oath, both men and gods will be punished!"

Although his voice was a little immature, his tone was powerful.

Xun Yu also stood up: "I would like to work with Your Majesty Miss Song to achieve the rule of saints and promote the prosperity of the king. Even if thousands of people are killed, there will be no regrets. If there is any violation, the sky will no longer stand in the sky."

Seeing that the two of them had such a sense of ceremony, Song Ci was also infected. He stood up and said: "I won't talk about beautiful words. In short, since we are like-minded now, we have formed a revolutionary friendship. From now on, we will work together and support each other. Fulfill their respective aspirations. Those who betray the friendship of the revolution will never be able to realize their ideals and will die a good death.”

After Song Ci finished speaking, Liu Xie took out a small bottle of wine from a bag he was carrying and poured it into a wooden cup.After pouring, he picked up a glass first, and Xun Yu and Song Ci each picked up a glass.The three raised their glasses to each other and drank it all in one gulp.

After finishing the drink, the three of them looked at each other and smiled, and suddenly there was a feeling in each other's hearts that they met each other and that we were not alone.Life is a long road, and everyone is groping alone on this long road. If you can meet your confidant, what can you say?

Soon, Liu Xie issued a number of edicts in succession.

The first one is to rehabilitate Liu Lian, the king of Qinghe who was falsely accused of treason, and Cai Yong, a famous scholar who was killed by Wang Yun, and give them posthumous titles respectively.Liu Xie personally paid homage, changed the Yuan to Jian'an, amnesty the world, and ordered all places to recommend talents.

The second is to send envoys to all parts of the country at the same time.Some held imperial edicts to recruit celebrities into Xudu.Some went to the governors' and governors' offices of various prefectures to publicize the imperial court's lenient policy on the princes, and asked the princes of all parties to pay tribute to Xudu according to the system.

Article [-]: Large-scale implementation of the farming system.Nationalized the unowned lands such as the Yingchuan area, divided the military and civilian settlements, and recruited refugees to cultivate the wasteland.The central government provides seeds, arable land, and agricultural tools for unified farming and vigorously grows grain.Each household pays [-]% of the harvested grain, and the amount of grain paid decreases proportionally year by year.Those who have been able to pay continuously for more than ten years, the land they cultivate will be owned by the farmers who have changed households.

Article [-]: Issue a recruitment notice to the people in Xudu and the Quartet to recruit the emperor's imperial guard.Those selected into the Habayashi Army or the Huben Army will be exempted from taxes and all income from farming will be privately owned.The allocated land will be increased year by year in proportion to the number of years of serving as the Imperial Guard.Those who have held the position for more than ten consecutive years shall own the land.

Article [-]: Send envoys to Lu Bu, Cao Cao, Tao Qian and others to mediate in the name of the emperor, so that they stop attacking each other and work together to serve the country and defend the monarch.

The list goes on and on.

Some of these edicts seem to be looking for boringness and presence, but they are actually the essence.For example, send envoys to Lu Bu and Cao Cao to mediate peace.Even children know, how can these people live in peace?Ask them not to fight, isn't it a joke?The key is here, what is needed is to let them continue to feud and keep fighting.

In terms of how to control and balance the princes, Xun Yu analyzed Liu Xie and Song Ci in this way, and one principle must be adhered to: Lu Bu cannot fall, and neither can Cao Cao.Xun Yu also put forward different opinions on the idea of ​​solving Cao Ren proposed by the two of them.His idea is that Cao Ren must be protected for the following reasons:

Cao Ren belongs to Cao Cao, and now Cao Cao is beyond his reach and unable to control Xudu.With Cao Ren's ability and power, it is impossible to control Xu, but it is more than enough to protect the safety of Xu Capital.Keeping him, Xudu is still under Cao Cao's control in name.Once the surrounding warlords have plans against Xu, Cao Ren will do his best to preserve Xu Du.

If you attack him, he will definitely resist.If it is not handled well, the interior of Xudu will be chaotic, and the warlords from all sides will take advantage of it.Judging from their current strength, they will be unable to protect themselves.Cao Cao will also turn against the central court and threaten Xu Du.

On the contrary, do not attack Cao Ren.For a short time, Cao Cao must have thought that Xu Du was still under his control.In order to prevent Xu Du from falling into the hands of others, especially Lu Bu, Cao Cao must try his best to contain Lu Bu.In the current confrontation between Lu Bu and Cao Cao, Lu Bu has the upper hand.This formed such a mutual restraint relationship. Lu Bu suppressed Cao Cao, Cao Cao commanded Cao Ren, and Cao Ren resisted Lu Bu.As for Lu Bu, he accepted Liu Xie's command on the bright side, and he didn't dare to forcefully capture Xudu because he didn't have the strength.

The most wonderful thing is that just because Cao Ren is Cao Cao's confidant general, his position is also very subtle.If he arbitrarily intervenes in the court of Xudu, he will be suspected of independently controlling the emperor and breaking away from Cao Cao.Then, with Cao Cao's always suspicious character, Cao Ren would not be able to please him.

Under such circumstances, for a while, no one could really kill the other party, free up their hands to fight for Liu Xie, and clean up the interior of Xudu's central court.This has won Liu Xie valuable time and a relatively stable internal and external environment.

On the outside of Xudu, on the one hand, continue to win over Yang Feng, and stabilize most of Yingchuan County in the south.In the name of recruiting imperial guards, cultivate the strength of your own army.On the other hand, send people to the north to find the sporadic warlords scattered in Guanzhong, Guandong and Heluo, and integrate their forces.Xun Yuhao did not shy away from this important task, and directly recommended Zhong Yao.Liu Xie has already been popularized by Song Ci about Zhong Yao's brave deeds, so of course he agreed without thinking about it.

As for the issue of food and money, it is roughly divided into two steps.On the one hand, the people in Xudu City and the rest of the Yellow Turban Army under Yang Feng were used to garrison the fields.Those Yellow Turban soldiers were originally peasants, and they rebelled not only with their families, but also with their own wealth.Pots and pans are not a problem, and many of them carry farm tools and cattle.

On the other hand, by sending envoys to the princes to make offerings.The envoys sent by Xu Du are not only well-known, but also eloquent and very targeted.For example, Tai Chang Zhao Qi was sent to Liu Biao.This is also a spoiler from Song Ci. As long as he is sent, he will definitely be able to get all kinds of supplies from Liu Biao, and he can also fool him into sending people to repair the palaces of the old capital.

Of course, this kind of offering is not free. In a sense, it is an exchange of interests, and everyone gets what they need.If someone is willing to give you something, Liu Xie will issue an edict to confer officials and titles on them.Many people took advantage of the chaos to occupy one side, nominally claiming to be the state shepherd or governor of a state, or some generals, looking at the excitement, they were actually self-proclaimed.

As long as Liu Xie issued an edict to appoint them officials, it would be tantamount to acknowledging their status, and they would become legitimate princes.It's just to give something, to show loyalty to the court, and it can be exchanged for a real official position, which is very cost-effective.Anyway, it's just an official, he still occupies one side if he doesn't seal the family.In this way, Liu Xie can also obtain a lot of property from the princes of all parties, which becomes the foundation of his development.

There is also the edict to recruit celebrities from all over the country. In name, it is to recruit some famous Confucianists to study the knowledge of saints. In fact, it is to take this opportunity to recruit talents.According to his own memory, Song Ci made a series of lists and introduced their lives to Liu Xie, Xun Yu and the others in detail.

With Song Ci's black-box operation, which can be called cheating, Liu Xie and Xun Yu can easily find available talents who are not well-known now and will shine in the future.For example, Tai Shici who is currently working under Kong Rong, the prime minister of Beihai, Kong Ming who is farming in Jingzhou, and of course Pang Tong and so on.

In addition, a series of poaching operations are also brewing.Currently under Lu Bu are Zhang Liao and Gao Shun, Yang Feng is under Xu Huang, Liu Biao is under Gan Ning, Lu Meng, Lu Xun and so on.Such a group of shining top talents, if they don't want to find ways to recruit them, should they still keep them to work for others?

When it comes to poaching corners, Xun Yu is a professional.Now, taking advantage of the geographical location, he directly introduced all the talents he was optimistic about from Yingchuan and Runan to the central court, except Guo Jia.Originally, he was supposed to stay at home and live in seclusion. Because of Song Ci's recommendation, Guo Jia joined Cao Cao's camp several years in advance.

Guo Jia's ambition is to find a bright master who can let him display his talents.Now that Cao Cao has been found, he probably won't change his mind again.

For Guo Jia, a rare talent, Liu Xie himself said that he wanted to win over it.Liu Xie was indeed able to be sincere and spare no effort in terms of honoring corporals and sending down talents in an eclectic manner.

When he said this idea, Song Ci didn't even think about it, and said directly: "Put this idea down as soon as possible, Guo Jia is not the kind of person who can be swayed by you."

Song Ci's firm attitude made Liu Xie a little bit shocked.He couldn't help but look towards Xun Yu, wanting to seek some support.Song Ci also wanted to know what Xun Yu was thinking, and looked at him as well.

Xun Yu's expression remained unchanged, and he said in a calm and unhurried manner, "Your Majesty, the filial person is indeed as Miss Song said."

Hearing that even Xun Yu said that, Liu Xie was discouraged now.It's just that he still has some reluctance to part with him, and doesn't want to give up such a rare talent.

Seeing him like this, Song Ci also found it a little funny: "You are poaching people's corners everywhere now, and at least you will leave one or two for others. Some corners are destined not to be obtained. But you don't have to be depressed. If you can get If the uncles of Wolong and Fengchu get Xudu, you can get two epic talents. They are definitely not inferior to Guo Jia, and they are about the same age as you, so it’s not a good time to be your company .”

Hearing this, Liu Xie said sourly: "Sister has already praised them to the sky. That Kong Ming is as old as me. No matter what he will do in the future, he is just a child now."

What Liu Xie said was interesting, Song Ci deliberately pretended not to know, and followed his words: "Don't you know that there is such a thing as a child prodigy? Even if they are still children now, Wolong and Fengchu are not ordinary children. Just watch."

Hearing the conversation between the two, the corner of Xun Yu's mouth twitched, and then he returned to normal.The two people who were bickering didn't notice this fleeting smile.

The three of them were talking, when someone came to report that Lord Pang De of Xiangyang had arrived.

When Song Ci heard this, he winked at Liu Xie and said, "Look, they came just as soon as we mentioned him. Let me tell you in advance, Little Phoenix is ​​not a fool. If you want to deal with him, it depends on your ability. "

When Liu Xie heard this, he was immediately unconvinced, and immediately asked to bring Pang Tong.

Song Ci suppressed a smile and said, "Then Mr. Xun and I will avoid it for a while, and I want to see how you subdue him."

After saying that, she and Xun Yu hid in the next room.Song Ci poured Xun Yu a glass of water, and also poured himself a glass.After that, I sat there peacefully, waiting to watch the play.Song Ci didn't need to lie on the wall to eavesdrop, as the voices from the next room reached her ears without hindrance.

After a mess of voices, someone was brought in front of Liu Xie.Unexpectedly, Liu Xie did not speak, and Song Ci could only hear Pang Tong's voice.He saluted Liu Xie in a regular manner, and then the next door fell into silence.

Song Ci waited for a long time, but there was still no movement. She was a little surprised, so she stood up.

Seeing that she couldn't sit still, Xun Yu at the side said, "Be safe and don't be impatient."

Hearing this, Song Ci also felt a little impatient, so he sat back.Who knew that as soon as he sat down, he heard a remarkable sentence: "Come here, let me drag you out and chop it up."
