Luoyang.⌒,

Situ Yang Biao and Xun Yu hurried into the mansion of the Grand Tutor Huangfu Song. Two young slaves in green followed behind, looking anxious, and repeatedly apologized to Huangfu Song.

Huangfu Song sat in the hall, with a military map spread on the table, teaching two young grandchildren to see the geographical situation. Seeing that Yang Biao and Xun Yu were uninvited, he was a little surprised. He waved his hand and signaled the young slave in green to go down. He slowly rolled up the map and took it to Qingnang, and then chuckled.

"It's a good thing you didn't bring the armored soldiers, otherwise, I would have thought that Your Majesty had an imperial edict to accept me."

Yang Biao said angrily: "Yizhen, I don't have time to joke with you."

Huangfu Song laughed, stroked a young grandson's head and said, "Look, Mr. Yang is anxious again. He is very angry. Go and bring the good tea from his father and cook it for Mr. Yang to try it, so that he can relieve the fire."

Yang Biao was even more annoyed when he saw this. "Yizhen, I don't have time to drink tea, and the gate of Situ's mansion was almost crushed."

"Wenxian, isn't this what you hope?" Huangfu Song said slowly: "The Confucian Sect is determined to rule the world with the court, and will do whatever it takes. Now that Your Majesty let go, are you complaining again? If this is passed to Your Majesty, Your Majesty will change the course and regain power, will you be satisfied?"

Yang Biao choked for a moment.

Seeing this, Xun Yu had to take it over. He is now waiting for meritorious service. He has no identity as a minister of regent, but he is responsible for the regent - he is stationed in Luoyang with Yang Biao to handle related matters, especially the meetings held by virtuous people in Lantai. He is busy every day and has to assist Yang Biao in handling some Situ Mansion affairs. Today, Yang Biao came to Huangfu Song to discuss the war in Shandong, and he had to follow him to prevent Yang Biao from arguing with Huangfu Song with his hot temper.

On the contrary, Huangfu Song was the most idle person in Luoyang. He did not have the responsibility of the regent minister. But everyone knew that he was the regent minister and he would participate in all major decisions. But he did not ask about errands, only the military, and only the general idea. The specific execution was left to Xu Huang, Zhang Yan, Gao Shun and others. It was so idle that it made people jealous.

When all the important officials in Luoyang were busy, Huangfu Song remained as motionless. However, it was precisely because of his unmovingness that Luoyang was able to maintain stability while there were wars outside and political discussions inside.

Xun Yu was very envious of Huangfu Song's philosophy of dealing with things, but he couldn't learn it.

"Tao Fu, now there are wars outside and political discussions inside, and there are so many things to do, and it is not enough to make ends meet. Although Your Majesty has recovered Yizhou, the taxes in Yizhou have not been resolved yet, and Situ's Mansion cannot allocate enough food and grass to suppress the rebellion army. Can the Taifu..."

Huangfu Song had no good impression of Xun Yu, and he didn't need to be as polite as he was to Yang Biao. He asked bluntly: "How many months can you supply food and grass?"

Yang Biao and Xun Yu looked at each other. "Three months."

"Three months? It's enough." Huangfu waved his hand: "You give me the three months of food and grass, so you won't have to worry about it in the future."

"Taifu, can the war in Shandong be pacified in three months?"

"Even if you can't conquer Jizhou, there is no problem with Yuzhou." Huangfu Song smiled confidently: "However, we can agree. During the war, all taxes must be controlled by local guardians. Until the Yuan rebellion was completely quelled and the relevant garrisons evacuated, these states will be handed over to the court. You... have no objection?"

Xun Yu's face turned dark. He understood Huangfu Song's intention, perhaps Liu Bian's intention. They were not in a hurry to completely end the war in Shandong. They wanted to use the most appropriate reason for wartime to cleanse and exploit Shandong. If the Shandong people do such a big thing, it would be impossible for the court to not retaliate against them.

Xun Yu looked at Yang Biao with a desire. Huangfu Song was from Liangzhou, had no good feelings for Shandong people, and had no real friendship with the Confucian clan. When the Party was in the party, Huangfu Song also called himself a party member. He wanted to take the opportunity to join the Confucian clan camp, but was rejected intentionally or unintentionally by the Confucian clan. The situation is different now, and it would be good that Huangfu Song would not take advantage of the injustice. It was undoubtedly a delusion to expect him to help the Confucian clan.

He could only count on Yang Biao, hoping that Yang Biao would take the overall situation into consideration and not let the situation escalate.

"Yizhen, you know that Your Majesty is interested in the Western Expedition. If you need a lot of food and taxes in the West Expedition, you need to pacify Shandong as soon as possible. If Shandong is severely damaged, I am afraid that your Majesty's Western Expedition will be delayed."

Huangfu Song smiled and pointed at Yang Biao. "Wenxian, Your Majesty has not yet concluded whether the war in the Western Expedition can be completed. Is it a bit too urgent for you to come up with the reason now? Besides, is it suspected that the Situ Mansion intervenes in the war arrangements? "

"Although I am not responsible for the war, how can I not hear about such an important matter in the Western Expedition?"

"Don't worry, if you were to the West Expedition, you would not allocate food and grass from Luoyang. This matter would be the eldest princess and Jia Xu." Huangfu Song put away his smile, and there was a coldness in his words that would keep others from thousands of miles away. "Your Majesty has never expected that the family in Shandong could support his great cause of the West Expedition."

Yang Biao was speechless and could only sigh. A dark cloud floated in Xun Yu's heart, which was heavy. Liu Bian did not expect the family in Shandong to support his great cause of the Western Expedition. There are two explanations: one is that Liu Bian wanted to raise supplies from Jing Yiliang and the four states, and the other is that Liu Bian wanted to uproot the family in Shandong. In his opinion, it was obvious that the latter explanation was more likely.

In this way, it is inevitable that the Shandong Confucian Sect leader will suffer a heavy blow. If you want to preserve your last vitality, you can only count on those virtuous people who come from all over the country to participate in the political discussion. He suddenly wondered whether the emperor held this meeting just to identify the people of Shandong Confucian Sect who were willing to participate in the political discussion and cooperate with the court, and there is still a glimmer of vitality. Those who refuse to attend the meeting and refuse to cooperate with the court will naturally be killed without mercy?

It's indeed a trick to kill two birds with one stone.

...

Long Kang.

Yuan Shu stood in front of the camp and looked at the battle flag fluttering in the wind, and felt extremely depressed.

In the battle of Suiyang, he and Yuan Shao joined forces, not only failed to conquer Suiyang, but were defeated by Xu Huang and Cao Cao. Yuan Shao had retreated to Jizhou, but he had nowhere to go. Lu Kang was in Shouchun, Cao Cao was in Ji County, Tao Qian was in Zhunyin, Xu Huang was pressing step by step, chasing him from the west, and the four armies were about to siege him, and he had no way to go.

Going eastward, it was Gaixia. He didn't know whether it was a coincidence or a conspiracy between Xu Huang and others, so he wanted to force him to Gaixia and let him follow Xiang Yu's footsteps.

Xiang Yu was once a strong enemy of Liu Bang and was also from Runan. The Xiang family's ancestral home was Xiang County in Runan County.

Qiao Rui walked over and stood quietly behind Yuan Shu.

"How could we get to this point?" Yuan Shu suddenly asked: "The Yuan family has four generations and three masters, and their disciples are all over the world. They climb high and shout, and the world responds. As long as they attack Luoyang, the country can change their surnames, why did they end up like this?"

Qiao Rui didn't say anything. He knew the reason, but he couldn't explain it to Yuan Shu. Yuan Shu was a hero, but he had preconceived ideas and was too strong to be the best candidate for the world. Even his own brothers could not be compatible, so how could he tolerate others?

Seeing Qiao Rui not saying a word, Yuan Shu said to himself again: "I know, you all think that Liu Bian is too strong. But he has a dragon, so why doesn't my Yuan family have phoenixes? It's just that the foster son is not good at fighting, only knows how to seek fame, but is not enterprising. The phoenix eggs are in his hands for so long, but still can't see any signs of the birth of the phoenix. If the phoenix bird appears in the world and Liu Bian's dragon is not afraid, how could he be beaten to the point of falling flowers and flowing water by Cao Cao's dragon?"

He sighed: "We are still deceived by ourselves by saying a thousand words and saying ten thousand words. What kind of benevolence, righteousness, poetry, books and articles are empty, only strength is true. Unfortunately, my uncle placed the hope of the Yuan family on that concubine's son, but never thought about me. I am the legitimate son of the Yuan family."

Qiao Rui frowned and didn't know how to explain. He felt that Yuan Shu was wrong. Yuan Wei did not place his hope on Yuan Shu, not that he had discrimination against Yuan Shu, but that it was precisely because Yuan Shu himself was not good at it. Thinking about it carefully, starting from the battle for military power in Luoyang, wasn't the initial mistake on Yuan Shu? If he did not underestimate Lu Bu, how could the emperor control Luoyang and how could he turn the tide?

It can be seen that Yuan Shu didn't understand why he lost, he would only blame others. Now he is desperate, which is the end he deserves.

Is the Qiao family going to follow Yuan Shu all the way to the dark? Isn’t it worth burying such a fool?

Why is it destined to give birth to such a prodigal son in the Yuan family, who has four generations and three masters?

Qiao Rui had a lot of thoughts for a moment.

...

Yizhou, Guanghan County, and northwest of Luo County.

Liu Bian walked slowly up a large mound of soil, looked at the river not far away, and looked at the golden rapeseed flowers around him, and was in a good mood.

"A Yan, there may be secrets you want to know here." Liu Bian said to Cai Yan with a smile: "However, I don't want you to waste your time on this. After all, this is just a transit and will never be the source."

Cai Yan said with a smile: "Why should your Majesty bring me here? And tell me the dream with a foreshadowing?"

Liu Bian smiled helplessly. "Yes, I'm also very conflicted. I hope you can find the source directly, but I also know that if you don't trace it step by step, the final result may be completely different and slanderous. This path may be a correct path, but it cannot be completed by one generation or two generations. It may require the accumulation of several generations and more than ten generations."

Liu Xie walked over with a puzzled look: "What is the road the emperor said?"

"The road to pursuing the great way." Liu Bian held Liu Xie's shoulder and gently pinched it. "Just like your practice, this is the practice of a nation, you cannot be impatient. Haste means not reaching, and it is even more impossible to expect others to do it for you. Your destiny should be held in your own hands after all."
