On the second day of October, 192 AD, Chang'an.
Jia Xu hurriedly walked into the lobby of Sikong Mansion, raised his hands to Liu Cheng who was handling government affairs and said: "My lord, Zhang Ji has sent a letter.
Ma Teng led the Liangzhou army to surrender to the imperial court."
After saying this, he handed over the letter.
A guard came over and took the letter and put it on Liu Cheng's desk.
Liu Cheng put down his brush, opened the letter and read it, and said happily: "Okay, Zhang Ji has lived up to my high expectations.
It is a great achievement that he successfully persuaded Ma Teng."
"One piece" Jia Xu cupped his hands and said, "Congratulations, my lord."
"This is not a joy for me alone, but a joy for all of us.
It is a blessing for the court."
Liu Cheng said with a smile.
He thought of Han Sui again and asked, "How is Han Sui?
Have you heard anything?"
Jia Xu shook his head and said: "From the last news, Han Sui promised to submit to the imperial court, but he only listened to the instructions but not the announcement.
The envoys are still working hard in Jincheng."
"It's okay, do you really think that the court can't do anything to him?"
Liu Cheng was furious.
Now that Ma Teng has surrendered to the court with Zhang Ji's efforts and fully accepted the court's resettlement plan, the court does not have to face two warlords at the same time. , you can also team up with Ma Teng to attack Han Sui.
Murderous intent burst out in Liu Cheng's eyes, he looked solemn, stood up slowly and said: "Immediately reply to Zhang Ji and ask Ma Teng to gather troops and prepare to cooperate with the imperial court to attack Han Sui from behind.
The time is set for October 20th, both sides will do it at the same time Send troops and send people to inform the imperial envoys in Jincheng and let them try to evacuate."
Jia Xu's face was solemn, he cupped his hands and said, "Yes."
After Jia Xu left, Liu Cheng paced the lobby with his hands behind his back, thinking about sending troops.
After a long time, Liu Cheng stopped and shouted: "Come here, summon all the ministers and officials to discuss matters at the appointed time."
Afternoon, Shen Shi.
The lobby of Sikong Mansion was full of people, and those who came to participate in the discussion were all Liu Cheng's confidants, and they were all people who held extremely important official positions in the court.
Liu Cheng looked at the crowd and said: "Everyone, Ma Teng was persuaded by Zhang Derong and agreed to submit to the imperial court and accept the imperial arrangements.
Han Sui also agreed to submit, but he only promised to obey the instructions but not the announcement and refused to obey the imperial arrangements.
You can I can see that this person has no sincerity and no respect for the imperial court.
The imperial court was in a troubled period and had no time to pay attention to him.
Unexpectedly, he also kicked his nose and face.
It is really intolerable.
Forbearance, I have decided to raise troops to attack Han Sui, and ordered my horses to mobilize troops to coordinate.
This battle will eradicate Han Sui's power in one fell swoop, and will kill the arrogance of the princes from all over the country.
I have summoned you here today to let you discuss the matter of sending troops.
The government has come up with a strategic plan.
If you have any suggestions or ideas, please feel free to speak freely.
If you speak well, the court will reward you.
If you speak poorly, I will not blame you."
Everyone knew that the troops were definitely going to be sent out for a crusade.
Liu Cheng had already made a decision and could not change it.
If he wanted to make suggestions, he could only start with the issue of sending troops.
Xun Yu stood up and cupped his hands and said: "My lord, before we send out troops, I have some suggestions: First, find a way to find something for the princes to do, so that they can take care of themselves, and at the same time provide troops stationed in Bingzhou, Hanoi, and Henan.
The garrison issued an order, ordering them to strengthen their vigilance and closely monitor the movements of the Kwantung princes.
It is best to follow The second is to stabilize the people of the imperial court; third, the subordinates believe that in order for the imperial court to send troops to attack the unconquered ministers, it must have troops with good reputations.
Now that the imperial court wants to send troops to attack Han Sui, it must first let the people of the world be conquered.

Knowing Han Sui's crimes, I isolated him, confirmed his crimes, and disturbed the hearts of his tribe."
Liu Cheng greatly appreciated: "Wen Ruo's words have won my heart.
Come on, I will spread the word to Mi Heng as soon as possible."
Someone outside the door promised: "No" The ministers and officials all looked at each other in confusion, wondering why Miheng was here.
This guy's foul mouth is really annoying.
Soon, Mi Heng walked in quickly with the hem of his clothes in hand, saluted Liu Cheng and all the ministers and officials, and said with cupped hands: "I'd like to pay my respects to Lord Sikong, and to all your lords and generals."
Liu Cheng raised his hand and said, "Mi Zhengping, do you know why I called you here?"
Mi Heng was very honest in front of Liu Cheng.
He bowed his hands respectfully and said, "I don't know, sir.
Please tell me, Lord Sikong."
Liu Cheng said seriously: "A few days ago, the imperial court sent an envoy to see Han Sui in Jincheng and asked him to submit to the imperial court.
However, this guy actually relied on the fact that he had 20,000 soldiers and horses, so he was arrogant, did not take the imperial court seriously, and refused to submit to the imperial court. , did not respect the imperial edict.
Now the imperial court has decided to send troops to attack him, but before sending troops, the imperial court must issue an edict to let all the people in the world know about Han Sui's crimes.
Aren't you good at scolding people?
I have decided to ask you to draft the content of the imperial edict.
You must scold me severely and list all of Han Sui's crimes.
The harsher the scolding, the better.
I have two requirements for the content of the imperial edict: First, the entire article The content must not contain a single curse word; secondly, it must be literary and must make him vomit blood; thirdly, Luo Zhi’s charges must be consistent with the facts and cannot be made out of thin air.
If you fail to meet these requirements, you will not be able to show your ability.”
This was Mi Heng's strong point.
He was overjoyed and eagerly agreed: "I will obey your orders and I will not disappoint Lord Sikong."
Liu Cheng asked Mi Heng to go back and think about the content of the imperial edict.
The discussion in the lobby continued.
After he sent Mi Heng away, he said: "Do you have anything to say about the strategy proposed by Wen Ruo?"
Li Ru stood up and cupped his hands and said: "My lord, among the princes, Cao Cao is restrained by brothers Zhu Jun, Zhang Miao and Zhang Chao; Yuan Shu is restrained by Lu Bu, Sun Ce and Liu Biao; Tao Qian, Kong Rong and others are restrained by Chen Gong and Xu Rong; the governor of Yangzhou Liu Yao had just arrived in Jiangdong and was not stable, but he was still loyal to the court; Gongsun Zan from the north He was restrained by Liu Yu and Yuan Shao at the same time, but Yuan Shao occupied the Central Plains and had strong troops and horses.
He was very likely to find an excuse to attack Hanoi when the imperial court sent troops to attack Han Sui.
In addition, his subordinates thought that the layout of Yizhou had been completed, and it was time Let Yizhou be in chaos for a while and find something for Liu Yan to do."
"Han Hao, the prefect of Hanoi, is loyal to the court and is talented enough to be the prefect of a county.
However, Hanoi is close to Jizhou and has a flat river, so he is most vulnerable to attack.
Han Hao only has a few thousand troops.
If Yuan Shao really finds an excuse to attack Hanoi, Han Hao will Hao is just afraid that he won’t be able to stop him.”
After hearing this, Liu Cheng nodded, thought for a while and then ordered: "Give Zhao Yun an order to be prepared to send troops to reinforce Hanoi at any time."
Jia Xu agreed: "No" "As for Liu Yan of Yizhou, the imperial court has sent an envoy to declare an order for him to come to Chang'an for an audience.
Has he responded?"
Zhong Yao stood up and replied: "Back to my lord, Zhang Lu of Hanzhong intercepted and killed the envoy sent by the imperial court to Yizhou."
"How brave" Liu Cheng was furious, "It's really lawless.
He intercepted and killed the imperial envoys over and over again.
Do you really think that the imperial court is just a decoration?
Where is Zhang Liao?"
Zhang Liao stood up and clasped his fists and said: "The end will be here."
"Deploy ten thousand soldiers and horses from the Huwei Army, with you as the chief general and Dong Cheng as the deputy, to conquer Zhang Lu in the name of intercepting and killing the imperial envoys and launching a rebellion."
"Yes."
Zhang Liao and Dong Cheng agreed with fists clasped.
Zhong Yao stood up at this time and cupped his hands and said: "My lord, the imperial court is about to send troops to attack Han Sui.
Now it is sending troops to attack Zhang Lu.

Please be careful.
With the war on both sides, the imperial court will be unable to bear the heavy logistical pressure.
Please also ask My lord, please think twice about whether you should hold off on conquering Zhang Lu for a while and wait until Han Sui is dealt with before attacking Zhang Lu."
Liu Cheng waved his hand and said: "There is no need for Zhang Lu, who started his career by playing tricks on his mother in front of Liu Yan.
Now he has occupied Hanzhong for only half a year and has not yet fully established himself.
If the imperial court has dealt with Han Sui, they will deal with him again." , by that time he had established a foothold in Hanzhong and fooled the people.
If the court wanted to deal with him again, he would have to pay.
However, in order to prevent Liu Yan from reinforcing him, this battle must be fought quickly and the court will attack Buchen with an upright army.
Who in the world dares to spread the news that the court is going to attack Zhang Lu?
We must first cause chaos in Hanzhong and destabilize Zhang Lu's people, so that the imperial troops and horses can have the upper hand when the war begins."
Jia Xu cupped his hands and said: "The matter of spreading the news can be done by my subordinates.
The news will spread throughout all counties in Hanzhong within five days."
“That’s it” Liu Cheng made the decision and continued: "As for sending troops to attack Han Sui, I thought about it and decided to lead the army myself.
Jia Xu will be the military advisor, and Yan Xing, Wu Fu, Yang Ru, Du Kai, Zang Ba, Zhang Xiu, Xu Huang and other generals accompanied the army After the expedition, Xun Chen, the governor of the grain, grass and ordnance department, led the army, and Xun Yu was ordered to stay in Chang'an and take full charge of the central affairs, with Zhong Yao as his assistant.
In terms of military affairs, Chen Dao was in charge, Liao Hua assisted, and the remaining everyone performed their duties.
There must be no mistakes” Everyone stood up one after another, bowed their hands and saluted, saying: "I will obey the Lord's order."
Liu Cheng waved to Xun Yu who was about to leave: "Wen Ruo stays."
After everyone left, Liu Cheng called Xun Yu to sit down and said: "I have Wen Ruo to help me grasp the general political and strategic direction, and Zhong Yao to preside over the promulgation and implementation of specific government orders.
In terms of military strategy, I have Jia Xu, the power planner.
There is Li Ru on the side, and there are military generals.
Xu Rong, Zhao Yun, Yan Xing, Chen Dao, Zhang Liao, Wang Shuang, Zang Ba, Xu Huang and other generals seem to be full of talents, but I always feel that there are still too few talents.
There are too many places where the court needs people.
I don’t know.
Can Wen Ruoke recommend any talents?"
Xun Yu thought for a moment and held up his hands and said: "I know that the master hopes to use young talents.
Now there happen to be three outstanding talents in Chang'an.
He came here after learning that the imperial court is preparing to hold a national examination in February next year.
Now it seems that The lord can't wait any longer.
Anyway, my subordinates will recommend these three to the lord: First.
His name is Guo Jia, courtesy name Fengxiao, from Yangzhai, Yingchuan.
He previously served under Yuan Shao, but found that Yuan Shao couldn't help him and left.
He was idle for more than half a year and is now living in his subordinate's house.
However, if the lord wants It's not that easy to let him serve.
It depends on whether he thinks the lord is worth assisting."
"Guo Fengxiao" Liu Cheng was shocked, how could this genius arrive in Chang'an?
Did Guo Jia not surrender to Cao Cao at this time?
But he immediately figured it out.
Now Cao Cao's counselor is Xi Zhicai, and Xi Zhicai's talents overlap with Guo Jia's. in another time and space Historically, it was after Xi Zhicai died and Cao Cao had no military advisers that he asked Xun Yu to recommend talents.
Xun Yu then recommended Guo Jia.
This had to wait until around 197 AD, when Guo Jia became unemployed after leaving Yuan Shao.
It was six years before he was recommended to Cao Cao by Xun Yu.
In fact, it is understandable when you think about it.
Xun Yu and Xi Zhi are good friends, and he is also good friends with Guo Jia.
If he recommends Guo Jia to Cao Cao too early, wouldn't it mean that Guo Jia and Xi Zhicai are competing for jobs, and they are playing tricks for no reason?
Did Zhicai offend?

This shows that when recommending talents, the recommenders also have concerns
