It is not an exaggeration to praise Liu Bei as "indomitable". Since he started his army, he has attached to Gongsun Zan, Tao Qian, Cao Cao, Yuan Shao, Liu Biao and other princes successively. No difficulty can defeat him.

Whoever goes to die, whoever looks cool, such an enemy will undoubtedly be very difficult for him to deal with when he grows up.

Today's Liu Bei has just started, and he hasn't sent away so many bosses behind him. He is just secretly recharging his energy under the care of Gongsun Zan. Maybe a natural disaster will come, and all his previous efforts will be in vain.

After ten years of sharpening a sword, not all swords can withstand the sharpening.

Yuan Huan didn't intend to embarrass Liu Bei at this time, because he didn't need to embarrass Liu Bei. Uncle Liu Huang's situation was already difficult, but he didn't intend to help. Few people would help the opponent to strengthen his power when he knew that the opponent would go to the opposite side, at least He will not.

It would be great to trap Liu Bei in Qingzhou, otherwise, they can only rely on their own abilities.

Family members with the surname Liu, this name is sometimes not as good as another surname. Emperor Guangwu has already renewed it for a big man. Liu Bei wholeheartedly wants to be the second Emperor Guangwu, but the people of the world can't wait for his long-cherished wish to be fulfilled.

Guo Jia got the wine and sat there foolishly. Yuan Huan didn't intend to let him come up with any ideas, but only discussed with Xun Yu how to solve the Qingzhou problem.

With Kong Rong's undisguised vicious words facing each other, Jiao He's plan to embrace Jizhou's thighs was completely defeated. Before other forces intervened, they could only spend on internal fighting, which did not have much impact on the situation in the Central Plains.

The yellow turban bandits can't beat Jizhou to the north, Xuzhou to the south, Yanzhou to the west, and can't go to sea to the east. All they think is that since they have fallen into bandits, the cost of food and drink will naturally depend on robbery.

Otherwise, they would not have done such a thing as massacring the city.

It is not uncommon to massacre cities in troubled times. There are warlords who cause massacres due to melee, and there are also massacres of yellow scarves who were ordinary people one day and swung their butcher knives at other ordinary people the next day.

Liu Bei's troops were not strong enough to quell the entire Qingzhou, Jiao He, Kong Rong and other Qingzhou officials were incapable of pacifying the Yellow Turbans, and without other forces intervening, there would still be chaos in that place in the future.

Mu Taoqian of Xuzhou was too busy to take care of himself. It was not easy to stabilize Xuzhou, and there was not enough food to feed them if he wanted to accept refugees, so Xuzhou could be excluded. For the people of Qingzhou, both Jizhou and Yanzhou could defect.

Nowadays, all parties are in a state of indifference to the imperial court's decrees. They Jizhou is okay. As long as the emperor issues an edict, they will not refuse anything they want. The thirteen states of the Han Dynasty, their loyalty to the emperor and patriotism in Jizhou is second, No one dares to be number one.

However, even if there is an emperor's order, there is no reason to hinder the people from finding a way to survive at this time. The court can't control it, and the people have the final say on where they want to go.

Jizhou and Yanzhou are capable of accepting refugees, and the imperial court's order to reward them is justified. If the New Year's Eve must be critical, he will ask if the imperial court is willing to help the refugees if so many people are sent to Chang'an.

When Yuan Huan and Xun Yu mentioned the imperial court far away in Chang'an, they both sighed at the same time, not because they thought too much, but because of the current situation of the imperial court, there is really no room for them not to think too much.

Xun Yu thought he had a deep understanding of the darkness of the court, but the more he understood, the more he discovered that the darker was yet to come.

Now that the Son of Heaven is young, the powerful ministers are in power, and the heroes are fighting against each other everywhere, it is rare to see such respect for the Son of Heaven as their master, but the imperial court bullies people too much, and catches their master to bully them hard.

Guanzhong is barren, what the imperial court has to do is to recuperate, reduce and exempt taxes so that the people can return to normal as soon as possible, instead of increasing taxes year after year.

Excessive taxes and corvees will make the people unbearable, and the court's unlimited begging from the prefectures and counties is also unbearable, especially now that other places are no longer obeying the emperor's orders, so the sages will have opinions .

Xun Yu was sitting upright, with his brows slightly frowned, "My lord, the emperor sent an edict that Guanzhong was hungry and hungry, and needed to open a warehouse to release grain, ordering Jizhou to send two thousand stones of grain and grass. It’s only been three months now, even if we open a warehouse to release grain, it’s enough to survive the winter.”

"Wen Ruo thinks, should I give this food or not?" Yuan Huan took a sip of water, gently put down the water glass and looked up at the speaker.

The imperial court has already begun to smash the cans, and Wang Yun has no intention of teaching the little emperor at all. Lu Zhi, Yang Biao and others want to train the little emperor into a monarch who can quell the chaos and rejuvenation. insufficient.

Xun Yu was thinking about the Son of Heaven in his heart, and now he has expressed his intention to leave the court prematurely, which does more harm than good, so every time there is an edict from the court, he never refuses the request from above.

After all, Jizhou is not far from Chang'an, unlike Yizhou where the roads are blocked, and it is not like Jingzhou and Yuzhou that sent people to send orders, but no one can come back, nor is it like Yanzhou and Bingzhou that are either recovering or worse than Guanzhong Chaos, needless to say in Liangzhou, one Dong Zhuo has seriously hurt the vitality of the Han Dynasty. No one knows whether there will be a second Dong Zhuo among Ma Teng, Han Sui and others. People go to Xiliang.

If someone is really sent there, not only will the messenger fail to return, but it will even bring a group of meat-eating wolves.

In this way, Jizhou became the place where the imperial edicts came and went most frequently, or in other words, it became the place where Wang Situ loved empty-handed white wolves most.

He, Jizhou Mu, has always had a very good attitude towards the imperial court. Even though he asked for orders to send Yuan Shao to Bingzhou last time, he treated Sikong and Yang Biao with courtesy after he arrived in Zhongshan.

It's rare to see such a good-tempered bully now, if you don't cheat him, who will you cheat?

Yuan Huan didn't comment on Wang Yun's way of seeking his own death. Wang Situ took the initiative to die. He was too happy, so why would he stop him? Just look at the present, even people like their family Wen Ruo, who value the way of Confucius and Mencius, feel that the court is not good , Wang Situ also made a great contribution, "The emperor's appetite is too great, and the food and grass in Jizhou are not inexhaustible. Wen Ruo tried to refuse it."

Xun Yu breathed a sigh of relief silently, and then fell silent after accepting the order. To be honest, this would be the first time he had rejected an order from the court.

Guo Jia looked at their lord thoughtfully, and when he rolled his eyes and was about to speak, he heard Yuan Huan say slowly, "I brought the two of you here early in the morning. It's time for Gongda to come back for the New Year."

Now it is the end of the year, and the beginning of the year is on the first day of the first month of the first lunar month. The so-called beginning of the year is the Chinese New Year.

The calendars of different dynasties are not the same, and the days at the beginning of the year are also different.

The Xia Dynasty called this day "Sui", which was set on the first day of the first month of the first month; the Shang Dynasty called this day "Sacrifice", in order to show orthodoxy, the "Sacrifice" was advanced one month, and it was set on the first day of December; Zhou established the Zhou Dynasty and called this day "Nian", which is also known as New Year among the people. Also in order to show orthodoxy, the "Nian" was also advanced by one month, and it was set on the first day of November.

After that, the first emperor unified the world and did not change the title of "Nian". Again, in order to show orthodoxy, the New Year's day was moved forward by another month, and it was set on the first day of October.

According to this advance, after Gaozu established the Han Dynasty, the New Year’s day should be set on the first day of September to express orthodoxy. Fortunately, things did not develop in a strange direction. After the establishment of the Han Dynasty, the summer calendar was implemented, and the "year" Change back to the first day of the first month of January.

Fortunately, the beginning of the year is still in the first month, otherwise he would not be used to celebrating the new year in autumn.

Nanyang is too far away, Xi Zhicai's body can't stand the ups and downs in the winter, it's better to spend the New Year in Nanyang honestly with Zhao Yun, Xun You is not as weak as Xi Zhicai in Yecheng, he comes back lively It's okay to make trouble for the new year.

Guo Jia smiled, and took the initiative to ask for orders, "Jia and Gongda haven't seen each other for a long time, so I asked Jia to write a letter to Yecheng to complain about the pain of parting with Gongda."

After finishing speaking, he waved his sleeves and stood up, beckoning Xun Yu to go back to the council hall together.

He went to write a letter to Xun Gongda, and Wen Ruo went to reject the court's rude request. As for their lord, they didn't care so much about what they wanted to do.

The lord has already started to change the subject, wouldn't it be disrespectful for them to stay here any longer?

He just got five jars of fine wine, a whole five jars, since he came to this place, he has never seen the wine jars, even one bottle can't even quench his thirst, he has gone through so many hard days, finally He can also drink in the forum, so he has to hurry to see if his fine wine has been delivered.

Their lord kept his word, and he would definitely not do something that he regretted temporarily, but he still couldn't rest assured if he didn't see his wine with his own eyes, so he had to see if the wine jar was empty before talking.

Xun Yu pursed his lips, stood up with Guo Jia, saluted and retreated.

Yuan Huan smiled and asked them to send them away. He stood up and walked to the window. The paper window couldn't see the outside clearly. After standing for a while, he returned to the desk and sat down.

The emperor issued an edict to Jizhou to ask for food and money. In fact, the little emperor didn't even know about it. He sent so many things to let Xun Yu see who the court is in charge of, not to make Xun Yu feel that he is sticking His righteousness is wrong, but to let him know that sometimes the imperial court and the common people stand on opposite sides.

If the officials in charge of the court were diligent and caring for the people, the yellow turban thieves and black mountain thieves all over the world would not appear.

Take the emperor to order the princes, and serve the emperor to beg for disobedience.

The two sentences sound very similar, but in fact they are very different. Coercing the emperor to make the princes no longer care about the majesty of the emperor, doing something similar to Dong Zhuo, but serving the emperor to order him not to be a minister, still pretending to be a Hanchen , who is still enshrined in the Han emperor, just like the current Wang Situ.

In this ever-changing situation, it's not easy to be manipulated by people in the name of the emperor. It's okay for all parties to fight small things now. If there is a big war in the future, the imperial court suddenly stabs them in the back. Who is this? Can you bear it?

He didn't want Xun Yu to feel that he was entrusted to no one, and he didn't want to be restrained by the court all the time. If this kind of upright gentleman is also disappointed with the imperial court.

I hope that Wang Yun will not go too far in life. One-tenth of the food sent over can be used on the people, and it can also help the people in Guanzhong to survive the cold winter. However, in addition to Wang Situ, Yang Biao, Lu Zhi, Huangfusong and others in the capital now It's not that he can't say a word. Every time he delivers food, he sends someone to pass on a message to San Gong and Captain Sili. With so many people staring at him, Wang Situ will not put everything into his pocket if he wants to save face.

The original boss started to write letters to Xi Zhicai and Zhao Yun who were far away in Nanyang. As a qualified boss, he couldn't let the employees spend the New Year miserable outside. Even if they couldn't come back, condolences must be in place.

It's just that he just wrote two words, and suddenly there was another movement at the door.

Guo Jia lifted the thick curtain to reveal his head, smiled brightly at their lord, and nimbly passed through the curtain to make room for Xun Yu behind him.

Yuan Huan put down his pen, looked at the two people who had gone and returned and said softly, "Why are you back again?"

Guo Jia bent down to salute unhurriedly, seeing that their seats had not been removed, he walked over and sat down leisurely, "It's not that Jia has a problem, but that Wen Ruo has something to say."

Xun Yu looked at Guo Jia helplessly, and didn't know what to say to this friend who had no righteous conduct.

He didn't want to come back at first, but he just said a few more words with this guy outside, and then he was dragged over. Now it's good, he hasn't figured out how to speak, how to let him talk to the lord?

Yuan Huan looked at Xun Yu, who was hesitating to speak, and Guo Jia, who was ready to watch the play. Guessing what the two of them were going to say, he packed up the bamboo slips on the desk and asked Xun Yu to come to the window with him. Sit down next to the case.

Green Ant New Distillery, red clay small stove.

None of the above.

There is no small red clay stove, but there is warm wine. When you need to talk, it is better to have a drink while talking.

Guo Jia:? ? ?

Start drinking now?

No, just prepare a wine bottle, how about him?

He came here specially to accompany Wen Ruo, shouldn't the wine bottle also have his share?

Xun Yu met Guo Jia's wide eyes suddenly, and his mood suddenly relaxed a lot, and he was even in the mood to tease him, "Feng Xiao came back this time after hard work, the honey water of the lord is also pleasant, Feng Xiao must be full ?”

Guo Jia:  …

Go to hell.

Guo Jia turned his head angrily, not wanting to talk to this guy who killed the donkey.

What's wrong with drinking?

He, Guo Fengxiao, has five jars of wine to drink now!

When this guy talks to the lord, he will drink and have fun by himself when he goes back. Anyway, the new year is approaching, and Gongda will be back, so he can live a chic life for a few days.

If he stays at the mansion, he will be under control, but if he goes to the county town to have fun, he can't still be under control.

Yuan Huan himself doesn't drink, and it will take a while for warm drinks to be delivered. Fortunately, there is no hurry now, and it is not bad for them to wait while talking.

Xun Yu followed him to the window, hesitated for a moment, and was about to speak when he saw Guo Jia moving his cushion and empty case to the side. The sleeves are half lying on the soft cushions, no matter how you look at it, it looks like a wave.

Yuan Huan glanced over lightly, bent his knuckles and tapped the table lightly, the rhythmic sound was particularly obvious in the quiet study room, Guo Jia posed for a while, under the "terrible" gaze of their lord , cowardly and hurriedly moved the things back to their original places.

No matter what kind of fierceness, if he doesn't make trouble, it will be fine.

After a while, the wine was warm and brought over. Xun Yu didn't know what to say, but he lost his nervousness after being disturbed by Guo Jia one after another. "My lord, Wang Situ has repeatedly issued edicts in the name of His Majesty, and I think that my lord can no longer be controlled by others like this."

Today's imperial court is not worth their effort.

"Wen Ruo has figured it out." Guo Jia lay far away on the other side, looking at them faintly, and the goosebumps of the people who watched were weeping and crying, "Master, for Wen Ruo's words, I will give Changan a lot of money." Six thousand shi of grain was sent over there, and the imperial court asked for as much as the lord for several times in a row, you see, Wang Situ has now used our lord as a granary."

Xun Yu paused, looked back and forth between their lord and Guo Fengxiao several times, raised the corners of his lips and smiled softly, "Yu and Feng Xiao have known each other for many years, but I didn't know that Feng Xiao would spend so much time being a friend. "

Yuan Huan filled up the wine bottle in front of him, relying on Xun Yu not to get angry at him, watching the excitement, he said, "Don't blame Wen Ruo, Feng Xiao and I know Wen Ruo's character is noble, so we have no choice but to act like this." And for that."

The implication is that he and Guo Jia came up with the solution together. Guo Fengxiao is not innocent at all, so don't let him go.

The author has something to say: Guo Jia (grievous): Where is my pure, kind and gentle lord?
