Chapter 064
Huangfu Song was a little embarrassed. Yan Zhong and Jia Xu looked at each other and shook their heads at the same time.
With their IQ, of course, they would not have thought of the questions Yang Xiu was talking about. They didn't say that because they were waiting for such an opportunity. Who would have thought that Yang Xiu suddenly came and once he showed up, he would break the situation first.
Yan Zhong regretted it a little. It shouldn't be so irritating to Yang Xiu. If Yang Xiu sowed in front of the emperor and said that they had bad intentions, the joke would be a big deal. Jia Xu shook his head calmly and signaled Yan Zhong not to hurry and see before talking.
After all, Huangfu Song was the one who led the army and had long understood his destiny. Even when facing the aggressive Yang Xiu, he was still as motionless as a mountain. He frowned: "As Mr. Yang said, we are worried about this matter and have no solution to it. When Mr. Yang comes, we must have a good idea. Let's listen carefully."
Yang Xiu looked at Huangfu Song with some surprise. Huangfu Song has been famous for a long time, and the battle of the Yellow Turbans has become even more famous all over the world. Asking him with such an identity as a young junior is enough to give him enough face. Moreover, Huangfu Song takes defense as an offensive, so that he can no longer pursue him. We are not saying anything but being unfaithful to the Lord. We really don’t know that we are worried about this. Next, it depends on your brilliant plan.
A clever plan? If there is really a perfect trick, can Huangfu Song leave this opportunity to me? Even if Huangfu Song can, can those two strategists miss such a good opportunity?
Yang Xiu felt a little bitter and couldn't laugh or cry.
"Your Majesty, most of the wealth in the world comes from Shandong. Now the chaos in Shandong is difficult to recover within several years. If you want to support the army to fight, you must divide your strength and build more of your party to make it self-disturbance, so that the court can enjoy a chance to breathe."
Liu Bian nodded and waved his hand: "Give him a seat, Yang Qing will talk slowly, let's discuss it together."
Yang Xiu was very grateful. The emperor gave him a seat, allowing him to share with so many famous figures. This is to give him face and give the Yang family of Hongnong. The calm expression he showed in his words made people unable to see whether he understood the key points. For an emperor, how smart and powerful he is is actually not the most important thing. The most important thing is to make his subordinates unable to understand it.
Is Emperor Xiaohuan not smart? At a young age, he endured for several years and eliminated the general Liang Ji in one fell swoop, and then appointed the famous general Duan Yan to pacify the Eastern Qiang. However, he lacked experience in internal struggle and was striving for success when dealing with party members, which led to unstable government affairs.
Is Emperor Xiaoling not smart? But his cunning is not enough, and all his actions are seen through by his ministers, so he died young, accomplished nothing, and received a bad posthumous posthumous title.
However, Liu Bian had such a calm mind at such a young age, which was a very gratifying thing. It seems that his father let him serve the emperor because he saw a glimmer of hope, not just to compete with the people of Liangzhou. He was about the same age as the emperor, and he must be able to get along with the emperor better than Yan Zhong and Jia Xu. Once he became a close minister of the emperor, can the people of Liangzhou still make trouble?
In a moment, Yang Xiu thought a lot. He thanked him, sorted out his thoughts, and put away his arrogant look. It would be inappropriate to be crazy in front of the people of Liangzhou. It would be no problem to make the emperor think he was crazy.
"The world's wealth, Ji and Yu are the first, Jing Yi is the last. Now Ji and Yu are all in the hands of Yuan. Your Majesty should take control of Jing Yi in case of unexpected situations. The four borders of Yizhou and the country of Tianfu are self-evident. Jingzhou has Jianghan, Nantong Jiaozhou, with a household registration of one million and sufficient food. It is also a big province. Moreover, Jiangnan borders Yuzhang and Danyang, and there are many brave men. If it falls into the hands of thieves, it will be a big disaster..."
Liu Bian listened quietly to Yang Xiu's explanation of the situation without saying a word. In fact, although he knew the situation not as detailed as Yang Xiu's words, he also knew the importance of Jingzhou and Yizhou through his two lifetimes. The problem is that in history, Liu Yan was in Yizhou and Liu Biao was in Jingzhou, and he did not have the court in his heart. Liu Yan simply disregarded the court. Liu Biao was a little better, and did not break up, but he did not really work hard for the court. Liu Yan had already gone to Yizhou last year, and the situation was already done, so he could not imagine. Liu Biao had not yet gone to Jingzhou. Since he knew what Liu Biao would do in the future, how could he send Liu Biao to Jingzhou?
Not only did he not intend to let Liu Biao go to Jingzhou, he also seized Liu Biao's official position. Before Lu Zhi was appointed as the Central Commander of the Northern Commander, Liu Biao was the Central Commander of the Northern Commander. However, he was obviously interested in the Yuan family. When he was fighting with the Yuan family, Liu Biao, as a royal family, did not say a word for him.
He heard from Yang Xiu that he just wanted to see if there was a more suitable candidate than Liu Biao.
What he didn't expect was that Yang Xiu's last recommendation was Liu Biao.
Yang Xiu had two reasons: one was that Liu Biao was a royal family, and compared with other ministers, Liu Biao had a closer relationship with the court. The other was that Liu Biao was one of the eight masters and was a famous scholar in the world. He sent him to Jingzhou and had enough appeal to get the support of the powerful people in Jingxiang.
Liu Bian admitted that Yang Xiu was right. Liu Biao's ability to gain a foothold in Jingzhou has a great relationship with his status as a celebrity. However, Liu Biao did not like the court because of this. However, he could not say that, he could not say in front of so many people, I doubt Liu Biao's loyalty.
"What Yang Qing said is indeed a bit reasonable." Liu Bian smiled and said, "Taifu, please discuss it. If there are other candidates, I will recommend them to me and choose the best ones."
Huangfu Song and others understood. Liu Bian's words actually denied Yang Xiu's suggestion and did not intend to use Liu Biao.
Yang Xiu was also a smart person, so he didn't fight hard. After the meeting ended, he followed Liu Bian to the back room.
"Tell me, what reason do you have?" Liu Bian knew it well and did not hide it. He signaled Yang Xiu to speak in person. Here, they could open the skylight and speak loudly - this mainly refers to Yang Xiu. As the emperor, he did not need to open his heart to Yang Xiu.
Yang Xiu did not hide it: "What Your Majesty is worried about is that Liu Biao will follow Liu Yan and break up Jingzhou and become independent?"
Liu Bian neither nodded nor shook his head, but just looked at Yang Xiu quietly. This guy is really smart, but he has a big mouth and cannot express his opinion easily. Don’t have a useless drama again, as he will be embarrassed.
Seeing that Liu Bian didn't take his words, Yang Xiu was a little bored, so he had to talk to himself and continued, "Why would your Majesty think it's better to give Jingzhou to Liu Biao or Yuan Shu?"
Liu Bian was stunned, his eyes were a little strange. Looking at Yang Xiu who was smiling and silent, he knew that he was wrong. Yes, Liu Biao was not a good person. If Jingzhou gave him it, it would be like a meat bun to beat a dog, and it would be difficult to get it back. But if Liu Biao was not sent, would Jingzhou be the court? It was also impossible, and the biggest possibility was to fall into the hands of Yuan Shu.
If Yuan Shu was allowed to occupy Jingzhou, threaten Luoyang from the south, or even enter Wuguan westward and conquer Guanzhong, Yuan Shao occupied Jizhou and then attack Bingzhou, the two Yuans formed a joint attack, would he still have a chance to fight back?
If Liu Biao goes to Jingzhou, even if it cannot bring benefits to the court, it can at least destroy Yuan Shu's plan.
Liu Bian glanced at Yang Xiu and raised the corner of his mouth: "I wonder if Yuan Gonglu would call you unfilial when he heard this."
"He betrayed the court, and he is a rebellious minister." Yang Xiu said seriously: "I am irreconcilable to him."
