I am not in the position of Zen [Three Kingdoms]

Ever since the emperor made a plan to wipe out Dong Zhuo's chaotic party and when the emperor's sword showed blood in the air when he did it himself, many people in the court had full confidence in Liu Xie.At this moment, I look forward to him following the example of Emperor Guangwu of the Han Dynasty, quelling the turmoil, and restoring the glory of the Han Dynasty at its peak.

Bathed in such scorching eyes, Liu Xie was even more stressed, and did not open his mouth to agree to the kneeling general's invitation to fight.His silence fueled the momentum of the Zhuhe faction. There were more than a dozen people who came out at the same time to oppose the aid of Bingzhou. Some people also asked the emperor to issue an edict to appease the governor of Yuzhou and Yanzhou. Shepherd in order to maintain stability.

Even though he understands that the peace faction may not be traitorous officials, and the war faction may not be capable ministers and good generals, Liu Xie was furious when he saw that most of the people in the court advocated retreating, and said coldly: "Eat the king's salary and share the worries for the king. I hope you What's the use of being able to see things more comprehensively, talking in plain language, making concessions and advancing blindly?"

Seeing that the emperor was angry, the voices in the court gradually quieted down.Liu Xie stood up, looked around the ministers condescendingly, and continued to say in a deep voice: "Those who want to retreat, write down the countermeasures if the other party advances an inch; those who want to advance aggressively, consider the follow-up food and grass relief and all the assistance needed, and list them in detail. .Don’t just say that I want to fight and I want to make peace, all the pros and cons must be thought through for me! I will give you one day, and I will write a memorial when I go back and submit it, and hand it in tomorrow morning.”

The courtier was stunned, it was the first time he had seen such an arrangement.

Liu Xie said dissatisfiedly: "Do you understand everything?"

"Your Majesty, but..."

"The military situation is urgent..."

Liu Xie ignored it and walked away.

Some courtiers broke out in sweat and pulled Wang Yun's sleeves: "Wang Shilang, how can this be good?"

Some people echoed in a low voice: "Yes, His Majesty is leaving just like that. The military situation cannot afford to be delayed."

Wang Yun threw off his sleeves and glared at the two of them: "Didn't you advocate not sending troops, so what are you still worrying about here!" After finishing speaking, he galloped away, obviously going back to write a letter to the emperor immediately.

There were also people who held onto Chen Gong, after all, he was a popular person by today's side: "After all, the emperor has little experience, this matter should be understood by you and the emperor as critical. Bingzhou is a frontier, even if you hand it over, no one will It's a pity, but Yuzhou and Yanzhou are close to us, if the national capital is empty and surrounded by people, it is really helpless! We must not send troops!"

Chen Gong was helpless: "In the past when the Emperor Ling was here, didn't they have to argue for several days before making a decision? Yuzhou and Yanzhou were just changing, and they didn't send troops to attack. Now it is the time when there is no response. Even if they want to attack the city, at least Wait until the food is sufficient after the autumn harvest. As for the disaster in Bingzhou, if you want the emperor to make an early decision, you might as well go back and write the memorial and submit it, so that the emperor can make arrangements for the pros and cons of Chen."

Lu Bu was in grief and anger, and no one dared to touch him.Lu Bu returned to the Ministry of War with heavy steps. Seeing that his face was not good, everyone was silent. Only Gao Shun stepped forward to inquire under pressure.

Lu Bu went straight to lie down on the couch, and said in a rough voice, "Don't pay attention to me."

Gao Shun had no choice but to back away, gestured for Le Jin and others who were still in a daze to come out of the hall, and thoughtfully closed the door behind him.

Lu Bu covered his face with his palm and did not move for a while.It wasn't until Gao Shun knocked on the door again after a cup of tea that he sat up slowly and said, "Come in."

"My lord, Your Majesty has summoned you to Qingliang Hall to discuss matters."

Lu Bu replied indifferently: "Then let's go."

On the way Gao Shun looked at Lu Bu's bloodshot eyes, he hesitated to speak: "My lord, let's send someone to pretend to be a barbarian and sneak into Wuyuan City to find his family."

Lu Bu was noncommittal, clenched his fists and then loosened them: "Wuyuan, I can't take it back."

The name of Qingliang Hall is taken from the blue water around it.A cool pavilion was built on the sandbar in the pool. It is quite interesting to walk to the pavilion only by stepping on the wooden suspension bridge.And this open place is also beneficial, not afraid of people secretly eavesdropping.

Following Lu Bu into the palace, Gao Shun saw the group of people in the pavilion in the center of the pool, and he let go of his heart. It seemed that the emperor was not affected by the proclamation, and the lord was not abandoned.

There is a large yellow peach wood round table in the pavilion, and a huge map is placed on the round table.Liu Xie, Chen Gong, Tian Feng, Xun You, Huang Wan, Huang Fusong and others were all present, and a group of people stood and frowning at the map.

Tian Feng is saying: "Since the southern Xiongnu attached to our dynasty, they have moved to Wuyuan, Yunzhong and Xihe three times on a large scale, and stationed in the northern counties of Bingzhou. But the Huns have volatile temperaments, rebellion from time to time, and covet us. They often plundered the frontier fortresses of food, cloth, salt and iron. The Han people in the city were very wary of them, and they would not easily let them stay overnight. It is really strange that there are so many people who work together from inside and outside."

Lu Bu was taken aback, and stepped forward to salute Liu Xie.

Liu Xie nodded, his eyes just flicked over him, and his attention returned to the map: "You don't need to be too polite, Fengxian knows the Hu people the best, and you first talk about your views on the large-scale invasion of the Huns."

The first time he heard the Son of Heaven calling his name, Lu Bu was taken aback, and after a little thought, he said, "Maybe Wuhuan secretly connected the Southern Huns and the Xianbei tribes. Ever since Wuhuan suffered losses in Youzhou for several years, he dared not take it lightly." Then go to provoke Gongsun Zan. Bingzhou’s troops are empty, and we brought all the elite into Luoyang. Wuhuan must have taken advantage of the chaos to provoke the Southern Huns to rebel, and then joined the Xianbei to go south to plunder our great city of Han.”

Huang Wan asked worriedly: "If we rush to help Bingzhou, will we be able to fight against the troops of the upper three clans?"

Lu Bu shook his head: "Only the Xiongnu, Wuhuan, and Xianbei will transport the plundered grain and women back to their grassland royal court once they succeed."

Gao Shun also added: "It has always been the Southern Huns who have been eyeing the city of Bingzhou. Wuhuan and Xianbei royal court are far away from Bingzhou, and they will not be stationed here."

Tian Feng used to be in Jizhou and knew the Hu people very well: "It was Youzhou that Xianbei and Wuhuan wanted to invade, but Gongsun Zan's white horse righteousness spread far and wide from the name of fierceness, and Youzhou Shepherd Liu Yu used softness to appease some Xianbei , Wuhuan tribe, they don’t dare to attack Youzhou now, so they marched to merge the state. It’s their style to retreat after hitting a hit, they like to tie food and women to horsebacks, and their attacks and retreats are very fast.”

Chen Gong sighed: "If they entered the grassland, wouldn't they be able to chase the people they took away?"

Gao Shun nodded heavily, while Lu Bu remained silent.

Everyone commented: "According to the document, at least [-] soldiers and horses attacked the four counties."

"There are about 30 Southern Huns living in the northern part of Bingzhou. Excluding the old, the weak, the sick, and the disabled, the number of soldiers and horses that can be entangled can be up to [-] to [-]."

"The [-] soldiers and horses attacked the four counties. My big Han people resisted desperately, and they will definitely consume more than [-] soldiers and horses."

"Not counting Xianbei and Wuhuan, there are still [-] to [-] Xiongnu troops stationed in the four counties."

"I don't know if they will focus on the counties of Yanmen, Shangjun, and Taiyuan after they take down the four counties of Yunzhong, Shuofang, Dingxiang, and Wuyuan?"

Lu Bu smiled wryly: "Yanmen doesn't know. Although Yanmen is nominally under the rule of the great Han, Hu and Han have mixed together in the city for a long time. As early as Emperor Ling, it was gradually invaded by Wuhuan, and the Han people who stayed there were more or less Hu. lineage."

Tian Feng said: "The Huns have few people, and they have no spare power to invade more territories for the time being. At this time, they should still be consolidating the rule of the four counties, and they are hunting for my big, young and strong men as slaves."

Huangfusong pointed out: "In order to contain Yuzhou and Yanzhou and prevent Liangzhou soldiers from going south, the strength of Sili Prefecture cannot be adjusted, and Youzhou and Jizhou are at war, so there is no time for others. There is a remnant of the Yellow Turban "Baibo Army" in Hedong County. The Baibo Army is in full swing. The county itself lacks skills and cannot support it, so now it can only rely on Bingzhou itself."

Lu Bu said in a low voice, "Taiyuan, Shangjun, and Xihe have about [-] to [-] troops. If we recruit young and strong men, we can get up to [-]. Although Shangdang County also has troops, there are still remnants of the Yellow Turbans making trouble in the county. It is impossible to deploy troops."

Tian Feng said: "It's the time when there is no harvest, and Bingzhou is already poor, and the counties and counties have insufficient food and grass, so they have to be transferred from Guanzhong and Qingzhou."

But once it comes to transporting grain and grass, it will be troublesome.The so-called army has not moved, food and grass go first.It takes a lot of time to prepare food and grass, and it consumes a lot of transportation on the road.The peasants driving the carts, the mules and horses pulling the carts, and the soldiers escorting along the way were consumed while transporting, and perhaps less than one-third of what was sent to the front line.

Huang Wan sighed: "It's difficult."

Liu Xie said: "Whoever commits a strong man will be punished even if he is far away. Don't you all remember the oath made a hundred years ago?"

All eyes were on Liu Xie.

After all, the emperor was only 12 years old and lacked military experience. Huang Fusong quickly persuaded him, "Your Majesty, don't act impulsively."

"Don't worry, general, I've calmed down." Liu Xie said: "Now that Bingzhou has no leader, the governor should be the priority to lead the army of the whole prefecture. The strategy should be to defend and rescue the people of the four counties."

Now, everyone looked at Lu Bu.

Chen Gong's lips moved, but he didn't speak. It is not a good thing for the court to give Lu Bu a title on the cusp of this storm.

Tian Feng thought to himself, in this way, it would be logical to send Lu Bu to Bingzhou, and the unruly governors of Jizhou, Yuzhou, and Yanzhou would be justified, and the so-called "side of the Qing emperor" would be broken without warning.It's just that Lu Bu is unparalleled in bravery, if he is allowed to return to Bingzhou, it will become a disaster in the future.

Huangfusong was worried that once Lu Bu left and took away the Bingzhou army, how would the Luoyang army fill the gap? Which surrounding county would be more appropriate to transfer troops from?

Lu Bu moved his fingers, lowered his head, and said nothing.

Liu Xie said indifferently: "You go to the side hall next to you to discuss for a while, I have something to say to Fengxian alone."

The crowd retreated, leaving Liu Xie and Lu Bu in the pavilion.

Lu Bu originally thought that Liu Xie would attack directly, but he was caught off guard. Liu Xie mentioned a person's name: "Did Zhang Yang lead thousands of soldiers to garrison Shangdang to fight bandits?"

The author has something to say: Emperor Guangwu of the Han Dynasty, that is, Liu Xiu, the founding emperor of the Eastern Han Dynasty.He was born in Jiyang Palace, Chenliu County. He is the ninth grandson of Liu Bang, the emperor of the Han Dynasty. Chenliu is really a good place. Liu Xie is the king of Chenliu.
