Guo Jia is not difficult to find, but at present, it is impossible to come to the agreement with Liu, and now he is drunk and unconscious in the wine cellar in Luoyang, I heard that Guo Jia almost since returning to Luoyang, he rushed into the royal wine cellar that had just been built, Liu Xie did not come back for a few days, almost all lived in the wine cellar, and no one could call out.
Although he has a Dionysian talent, but after all, he is flesh and blood, and there is always a limit to the amount of alcohol, anyway, even if he wakes up Guo Jia now, it is estimated that he will not be able to come up with any strategy.
Huang Zhong rushed to the Qiankun Hall to wait as soon as he received the notice, and when Liu Xie arrived at the Qiankun Palace, Huang Zhong had already arrived for a while, and to Liu Xie's surprise, there was another person who came with Huang Zhong.
"Why is the imperial brother here" After Liu Bei asked Zhu Jun to arrange the accommodation of the civil and military officials in Luoyang, he cordially pulled Liu Bei to the main hall of the Qiankun Palace, the two sides sat down, and after letting Huang Zhong also arrange a seat, Liu Xiecai looked at Liu Bei with a smile and said: "Count it out, although the imperial brother has been re-included in the genealogy, it is the first time that you and I have met." ” Liu Bei bowed and said: "Bei has ordered Yun Chang to guard Aocang, according to Mr.
Wenhe's intentions, echoing with the Tiger Prison Pass, he regretted not listening to Wenhe's words and stayed in Yingchuan, resulting in the defeat of Youyuanling, which not only harmed the life of the third brother, but also made the court fall into passivity. ” "How is Xingyang now" Liu Xie looked at Huang Zhong on the side and asked.
"Back to Your Majesty, Xingyang is now occupied by Gao Lan, a general under Yuan Shao, with 30,000 soldiers, and he is looking at the tiger."
Huang Zhong bowed.
"I can't complain about this matter."
Liu Xie sighed: "Although he lost a battle and frustrated the spirit of the imperial court, but because of this, hundreds of thousands of people were saved from the suffering of war, the reason why the imperial court existed was to protect the people, General Zhang's matter, I also regretted it, I heard that General Zhang had the courage of ten thousand people, and this loss in Yuanling was actually a loss for the imperial court." ” "Your Majesty" Liu Bei suddenly left the table, knelt down in front of Liu Xie with a pop, and said sadly: "The minister came to Chang'an, but there is one thing, I hope Your Majesty will approve it." ” "Brother Huang, why is this, please hurry up."
Liu Xie frowned, he was a little disgusted with Liu Bei's problem of crying at every turn, but at this time, it was not easy to show it, so he quickly got up and helped Liu Bei up: "Brother Huang, there is no matter, but it doesn't matter, why do you need to see the outside like this." ” Liu Bei wiped his tears and said astringently: "Since returning to Aocang, Bei can't sleep every night, once he closes his eyes, he can see the third brother standing in front of Bei covered in blood, and ask me why I didn't save him that day. ” When Liu Xie heard this, his brows furrowed slightly, the nickname is not casually sealed, generally only the Son of Heaven, the princes or the ministers with outstanding merits have the nickname after their death, Zhang Fei has a nickname in history, that is because he is the founder of the Shu Han Dynasty, but for now, Zhang Fei's level is obviously not up to the nickname, not to mention Zhang Fei, in fact, even if Liu Bei is dead now, although because Liu Xie recognized his clan position, he can be ranked in the temple, but he is not qualified to have a nickname.
But if he refuses directly, it will inevitably chill Liu Bei and Guan Yu, after all, Zhang Fei also died on the battlefield for the imperial court.
Liu Bei obviously understood this problem, and seeing Liu Xie's hesitation, Liu Bei bowed and said: "Ask Your Majesty for permission, and I am willing to exchange this life's merits for the title of the third brother." ” "Brother Huang, get up, I didn't say no."
Liu Xie already had a plan in his heart, stretched out his hand to help Liu Bei up, frowned and said: "The matter of the name, I alone say that it doesn't matter, the imperial brother thinks that the princess of the Manchu Dynasty still has a clan, will he accept it?"
Liu Bei didn't say anything when he heard this, and continued to want to kowtow, but was stopped by Liu Xie.
"Imperial brother doesn't have to be like this, you and my own brother, although we can't give a name directly, but I have another way."
Liu Xie said with a smile: "In my early years, I visited the people with my father, and I met a stranger, saying that my Han has the power of the country, if you want to resolve it, you should set up one hundred and eight temples, and stand in the four directions of the capital with the position of Tiangang and the earth, suppress my luck, and not be the evil star cholera, and the one hundred and eight temples should be enshrined with peerless fierce generals to protect my Han rivers and mountains, and now this one hundred and eight temples have been erected, but there is no one to worship, I heard that General Zhang is talented, and he is the head of the earth, ranking in the position of the earth leader, and receiving the incense of ten thousand families, Protect me, the Han Dynasty will last forever, I don't know what the imperial brother thinks" Tiangang is evil, but it is not Liu Xie who withdrew casually, since he got back to pass back the jade seal of the country, the golden bell of the eyebrows has given him a hint, the formation map is there, when Yuan Shu was recruited, after returning to Luoyang, Liu Xie handed over the formation map to Zhu Jun, and built this one hundred and eight wonders, just who to worship, Liu Xie did not think about it, so the statue has not been done, but now Liu Bei came to ask for a name, but it gave Liu Xie a wake-up call.
The Three Kingdoms in troubled times, there are so many stars, why not use the great generals in this world as a template, cast gods, recall the souls, and bless the capital, which is much more reliable than finding other gods, and the gods who are recruited know whether they are willing to protect the Han Dynasty, it is better to make gods themselves.
"This" Liu Bei was a little at a loss for a while, not knowing if this was Liu Xie fooling him.
"Brother Huang can go outside the city to see, these one hundred and eight temples have been set down as early as when Luoyang was built as a city, but the statue of the god has not yet been erected."
Liu Xie smiled and said: "If the imperial brother is not at ease, I will ask the Ministry of Industry to use the glass to shape the golden body of General Zhang, and the appearance of General Zhang also needs the imperial brother to guide him, don't be mistaken." ” This is much more than a nickname, enjoying the incense of thousands of homes is equivalent to sealing the gods for Zhang Fei, and in fact, it is true, and Zhang Fei is also worthy of building a temple.
Liu Bei nodded, bowed and said, "Your Majesty Xie" "There is no need to be like this, after a while, the imperial brother can find someone to set up a biography of General Zhang, engrave the inscription, and let future generations know who it is."
Liu Xie helped Liu Bei up again.
"Then the minister will do it."
Liu Bei hurriedly got up, Ao Cang was very relieved to guard him, what bothered him now was Zhang Fei's matter, he had told Liu Xie before, but there was no half-truth, during this time, he really dreamed of Zhang Fei every night, this matter is not good, I am afraid that it will be difficult to escape the nightmare for the rest of his life.
"Let Wei Zhong accompany you."
Liu Xie glanced at Wei Zhong, Liu Bei had no foundation in the court, let Wei Zhong accompany him, and no one dared to make things difficult.
"Thank you, Your Majesty."
Hearing this, Liu Bei surrendered his hand again and left the Qiankun Hall with Wei Zhong.
Seeing Liu Bei leave, Liu Xiecai looked at Huang Zhong with a smile and said: "This battle of Shu, General Huang has made outstanding achievements, and the rewards and punishments for this battle have been done, and there will be results in the next few days. ” Huang Zhong said with a smile: "When Fengxiao and the last general met in Fucheng a year ago, there was an assertion that there would be a battle between the imperial court and the princes within three years, but I didn't think it would come true so soon. ” The battle between the imperial court and the princes can also be seen as the family's counterattack to Liu Xie's continuous weakening of the family's interests over the years, and Guo Jia was able to predict that Liu Xie was not surprised, but looked at Huang Zhong and waited for his result.
"The minister thinks that the princes are new, it is the time when the spirit is in full swing, I should avoid the enemy's edge, stick to the main, according to the minister's recent knowledge, Jizhou Yuan Shao, sent 200,000 troops, Runan Yuan Shu, also sent 100,000 troops, in addition to Xuzhou Chen's troops 40,000, Yanzhou Cao Cao sent 70,000 troops, a total of 400,000 people, although my dynasty soldiers and horses occupy a favorable location, any, but the number of troops is not as good as the coalition army, when the fortified city, time is long, the princes' grain and grass will inevitably be poor, with cavalry to disturb the princes' grain road, and then provoke the relationship between the princes, when it can be won."
The princes are not in harmony, this is inevitable, just like the princes in the past, although the number of princes is small, but the strength is not as good, fight consumption, the court is related to Zhong, Shu for backup, not to mention a few months, even if it is two or three years, the court can afford to consume, but the princes do not have this ability.
The 400,000 army sounds huge, but it also exposes a problem, that is, it is difficult for the princes to fight a protracted war with the imperial court, and the 400,000 army is a frontal combat force, but to support the 400,000 army, if a sergeant needs three people to supply, it is actually equivalent to that in addition to the 400,000 army, the princes also have to bear the rations of 1.2 million people, and these 1.2 million people are specially responsible for logistics, transportation of grain and grass, and no production If it is each family sweeping the snow in front of the door, it is no problem, but the problem is that not every prince is as big as Yuan Shao, take Cao Cao as an example, although the territory is not small, the population is also large, but all the year round to make enemies, just military expenses, Cao Cao can not save much money.
Yuan Shu has plagued the south for so many years, and what can be harmed has been almost harmed, and the war potential is definitely not as good as it was back then, and Chen Qi only occupies two counties, so he has an army of 40,000, which doesn't seem to be much, in fact, it is already the limit of the Chen family, even if the Chen family is a big family, it can't withstand such a toss.
But if Yuan Shao is to supply the 400,000 troops, why On the grain and grass alone, it is almost foreseeable that there will be dirt between the princes, not to mention that the princes have different thoughts, such as Cao Cao is watching the fire on the other side, and he is ready to paddle after defeating Liu Bei, and Sun Ce is here to fight soy sauce, and only Er Yuan and Chen Qi are really willing to fight.
In this case, the longer it drags on, the more unfavorable it will be to the princes, of course, the imperial court will also be affected, but the problem is not big, there are a large number of horses constantly transporting materials, which can save a lot of manpower, at least the people's livelihood under the rule of the imperial court will not be greatly affected, so it is a good idea to avoid the enemy's edge, and then fight a protracted war with the princes.
Liu Xie nodded approvingly, in fact, this is also the result of his discussion with Jia Xu, the current imperial court has enough war potential, but there is no way to turn these war potentials into real strength in a short period of time. t1706231537:
