Chapter 900: Some things are either you or me
Yuan Shao can be said to be the only Mu Shou in the world who can surpass Liu Qi in terms of overall strength.
Of course, after this battle, the status of Liu Qi and Yuan Shao should have been completely reversed, but Yuan Shao's strength still cannot be underestimated.
Now for Liu Qi, carrying out a thorough pursuit with the power of victory is undoubtedly the best time to solve the future troubles.
"Your Majesty, please think twice and think carefully." Kuai Yue patiently advised: "If Yuan Shao returns to Hebei, he will still be a serious problem for us in the future."
Liu Qi stepped down from the chariot, took Kuai Yue's hand, and said sincerely: "I also know that now is the best time to eliminate Yuan Shao and solve the future troubles, but Cao Cao just retreated eastward some time ago, and now he is carrying him again
He has a bad reputation for regicide. If he sees our army chasing Yuan too deep and then comes back, won't our army be attacked on both sides? So, we should seek stability in this battle...don't you think so?"
Kuai Yue fell silent.
Cao Cao will definitely not be able to come now, Kuai Yue knows that.
Cao Cao originally transferred to Sili, which allowed Wei Yan to successfully coordinate Yuan Shu's return to Jiangxia.
According to Liu Qi's personality, he could not have imagined that once Cao Cao failed in Luoyang, there would be a possibility of a comeback. He would definitely ask Wei Yan, Liu Pan, Huang Xu and others to provide Yuan Shu with food and grass again and support him in sending troops to the border of the Central Plains again.
Even if they don't fight, it will still be enough to deter Cao Cao's hinterland.
Moreover, the mistakes Cao Cao committed this time were so great that the noble families and noble families within his territory could not remain under his jurisdiction.
Especially the scholars in Yanzhou have always been rebellious against Cao Cao. Since Zhang Miao and Chen Gong were suppressed, they have been secretly looking for opportunities to continue to overthrow Cao Cao's rule.
At this moment, there is no doubt that Cao Cao is basically a treacherous minister. How can nothing happen under the rule of a treacherous minister?
Whether it was to prevent Yuan Shu, Huang Xu, Wei Yan and others from coming back, or to prepare for rebellion or chaos in the territory under his jurisdiction, Cao Cao could not raise troops to Luoyang again.
Kuai Yue felt that Liu Qi would definitely not think of anything he could figure out, and he would even think further than himself...
But he insisted on pretending to be stupid in front of him...
Then let's all pretend to be stupid together.
"What the prince said is true, so Yuan Shao will not pursue him for now." Kuai Yue agreed.
…
Outside the corpse city, Jia Xu had been standing silently outside the city gate, looking to the north.
For more than an hour, he stood there without moving. He seemed to have turned into a statue, standing solidly here, unmoving despite being washed away by the wind and rain.
A statue will generally not attract other people's attention, unless someone is naturally interested in the stone.
Jia Xu stood outside Tucheng for an hour, while Li Ru quietly stood behind him and watched for an hour.
Finally, the stone statue turned its head.
In an instant, the two people's eyes met together.
"You haven't left yet?" Jia Xu was confused about Li Ru's appearance here.
Li Ru cupped his hands at Jia Xu and said, "We are leaving tomorrow. I wanted to say goodbye to you and treat you to a drink, but I just saw you standing there motionless. Maybe you were thinking about something big? So I didn't.
Interrupt with words."
"You know I don't drink."
"Could it be that just to say goodbye to an old friend like me, Wen He can't make an exception?"
"cannot."
"Why?"
"Who is your friend?"
Li Ru is not angry either. Since talking to Liu Qi, Li Ru's temper has become much gentler than before.
Coming out of Wang Yun's control made him feel like he was reborn.
"This time, Yuan Shao is definitely dead, right?" Li Ru looked at Jia Xu with a smile.
"who knows."
Jia Xu turned around slowly and walked towards the Tucheng alone.
Li Ru followed him in small steps: "What do you mean, Yuan Shao can't die?"
Jia Xu didn't even look at him: "You, a person who went to Liangzhou to be a county magistrate, why are you so interested in these things?"
Li Ru ignored Jia Xu's cynicism and said: "If you don't want to say it, it doesn't matter. I'll say it for you... The new emperor of Luoyang has not yet been decided, and the opinions of the courtiers are not unified. For the monarch, this enemy should still exist."
."
"Hmph..."
Li Rudao: "Don't just humbly! Yuan Shao failed this time because the prominent families in Jiyou and Youzhou behind him refused to give him any convenience and cut off the food and fodder support. With Yuan Shao's narrow-minded character, how could he not repay this humiliation?"
?It’s okay if he doesn’t return to Hebei this time. If Yuan Shao returns to Hebei, there will be a bloody act.”
"Hmph..."
"All the top famous families in the world come from Jiyou. How many of them in this court are not related to the famous families in Hebei? Most of them are! Moreover, from now on, Yuan Shao and the court have been on the verge of breaking up, regardless of whether they are in public or private.
Privately, Yuan Shao has become a serious problem for everyone in the court."
"Hmph..."
"With the wisdom of the prince, if Yuan Shao is destroyed this time, everyone in the court will have no public enemies. If the prince returns to Luoyang, even if he can change his position and ascend the throne, he will still be controlled by others, but now... Hehe, Yuan Shao and Cao Cao are both the same
As a traitor, all the noble families in the north are in danger of extinction. The only person in the world who can destroy Yuan Shao is Liu Yizhou... Being chosen to be emperor and being begged to be emperor are two completely different feelings.
."
Jia Xu stopped and turned to look at him.
"You are so sensible, you should be the emperor." Jia Xu said coldly.
"Stop farting!" Li Ru shrank in fear and even swore.
He looked around and saw no one around him, and said angrily: "Do you want to kill me?"
"What do you want to do?" Jia Xu looked at him puzzled and said, "You are going to Liangzhou to take up a post. What do these things have to do with you?"
"Why not! I can't stay in Liangzhou forever and not come back!"
"Oh~~!"
Jia Xu showed an expression of sudden realization: "What are you waiting for here? It's you, you still want to come back? Have you forgotten the things you did?"
Li Ru raised his head and said: "Originally, I thought that I might not be able to come back in this life, but now it seems that this opportunity is not impossible!"
After saying that, Li Ru said fiercely: "Don't think I don't understand. The king is not only thinking about ascending the throne, but also the taxation and land taxation implemented in Jingzhou and Yizhou. If he ascends the throne, he must
It was implemented throughout the whole territory, but the roots of the Han Dynasty were in the north. The foundation of the famous families in the north was incomparable with that in the south. Moreover, the north did not have the support of Zhenxi Rice. The century-old tax system could not be changed by simply changing it.
"
Jia Xu narrowed his eyes: "Sure enough, this emperor should give you a seat."
"Mr. Wen He, don't be sarcastic to me. I know... After Yuan Shao's defeat, Hebei will inevitably be in chaos. When he becomes a public enemy of the court, he will also attack the powerful families of Hebei for today's hatred. If the world wants to be in great order,
It is necessary to disrupt its roots first, and Yuan Shao is the source of the trouble now... But if it is to disrupt its roots, who in the world can use it more skillfully than I, Mr. Li? Don't forget, I am a cholera world.
The poisonous man."
Jia Xu let out a long sigh.
"Live well, isn't it good?"
"Live well? Live a useless life?" Li Ru narrowed his eyes.
He pointed at Jia Xu and couldn't hide the deep jealousy in his tone: "Even someone like you who likes to hide and shrink can stir up a bloody storm in Luoyang and punch a hole in the sky of this big man!"
After a pause...
"Why can't I!!" Li Ru added through gritted teeth.
Jia Xu was silent after hearing this.
When I was young, I heard him speak slowly: "You go and take office. If I have a chance, I will advise the king and ask you to come back."
Hearing this, Li Ru gave a long bow to Jia Xu.
"Mr. Jia, I'm causing trouble for you."
Jia Xu looked at Li Ru coldly and said nothing.
Li Ru knew that Jia Xu was angry with him.
He gestured guiltily to the other person's forehead and said, "Take care."
Then, Li Ru was seen turning around and leaving the place.
Looking at Li Ru leaving, Jia Xu felt a little guilty in her heart.
He looked up at the sky and let out a long sigh.
Compared with Shicai's indifference, Jia Xu felt a little relaxed for some reason.
