When the emperor scolded Yang Fu and others, Liu Ye stood quietly aside and didn't say anything, like a puppet. At this moment, he saw the emperor ask, and he said slowly: "Your Majesty, Yang Fu, Zhao Ang is not planning to use the head of the Taifu to make a deal, but just wants to alienate Jia Xu and the King of Wu. As of now, although this plan has not been fully accomplished, it cannot be said to be a failure."

The emperor turned his head and looked at Liu Ye in surprise. Liu Ye was not in a hurry to explain. The emperor was smart and could figure out the joints inside. He didn't need any detailed reminders. It was the best choice to let him analyze it himself. Since he could gain experience from it, he would avoid leaving the impression of a powerful minister.

The emperor thought about it for a long time, and his head was slightly slight. "Zi Yang said so much. Jia Xu was backfiring. Dong Yue lost Hongnong and retreated to Hedong. It was definitely not something he liked to see. Zi Yang, you know Lu Su. In your opinion, can Lu Su take Hongnong and go straight to Guanzhong?"

"This is not Lu Su, but Jia Xu."

The emperor frowned slightly. Zhao Qu had sent the news before, but Yang Fu had never reported it and had no intention of trading with Jia Xu with Huangfu Song's head. Jia Xu asked for a price everywhere, and they paid the money on the spot, and the two sides were still negotiating. However, no one expected that Sun Ce suddenly turned his face and ordered Lu Su to attack Hongnong forcing him. Jia Xu was afraid of being attacked from both sides, so he had to give up Hongnong and ordered Dong Yue to retreat to Hedong to form a three-party confrontation.

As the situation evolved to this point, Jia Xu had lost the initiative. He is just pretending to be a tiger's power and threatening the court. The court has no need to pay attention to him. Send troops into Fengyi and strengthen his vigilance. Liu Ye said this, did he not see through Jia Xu's harshness on his face, or did he want to take the opportunity to create a estrangement among the people of Liangzhou?

He knew very well that the struggle between Yang Fu and others had never been calmed since they entered the court, Guandong, Guanxi, new officials, and old honors. Not only did he not object, he sometimes deliberately provoked trouble. But Liu Ye was his confidant and knew his feelings for Huangfu Song. Moreover, Huangfu Song had a deep foundation in the court and had an influence no less than that of young factions such as Yang Fu. Killing Huangfu Song to appease Jia Xu was definitely a bad idea. If Liu Ye was selfish, he took advantage of the situation and ignored the overall situation, it was not the situation he wanted to see.

"Are you worried that Jia Xu would surrender to Sun Ce, be accomplices of the tiger, and go from Hedong to Fengyi?"

"Your Majesty is wise. Since Dong Zhuo drove the people of Luoyang into Chang'an, many killings along the way, and it has not been restored in recent years. Hongnong and Tongguan are dangerous, if there are no reinforcements, it will be impossible to support it. Jia Xu, who was led by Dong Yue, was the old subordinate of Dong Zhuo, who fought with Dong Zhuo for many years, and was considered elite. Dong Yue's daughter Dong Qing and Jiang Gantong were in love with each other and had a marriage contract, but they were obstructed by Jia Xu, so she gave up halfway. And Jia Xu's righteousness was to avenge Dong Zhuo. If the court did not accept Jia Xu's words, and then formed an alliance with Sun Ce and attacked Feng Yi, it would be a big disaster. At this time, it is not advisable to reject Jia Xu completely. You should follow the trend and distract him from his heart and make him hesitate. Then Your Majesty led a large army to conquer Tongguan personally, defeat Lu Su, turn the tide before taking down the Malay, and support the building to the general."

The emperor nodded in agreement. "But I must not trade the Grand Tutor."

"It is a powerful force, and it is difficult for you to protect yourself. How could Jia Xu dare to hope that the court will kill the Grand Tutor?" Liu Ye shook his head with a smile. "As long as your Majesty, following Duan Jing's example, forgets to remember the merits, rehabilitates Dong Zhuo, and admits that Dong Zhuo has made minor contributions to the court, he will be satisfied. However, even this condition cannot be easily agreed, and he must make contributions and serve himself. After a few months, the situation is different, and his life and death will naturally be in the hands of Your Majesty."

The emperor laughed silently and nodded repeatedly. "Zi Yang's clever plan. In this way, Jia Xu has been involved in my trap." He thought for a while. "This matter will be presided over by the Secretary-General, and those Hedong people can use it."

"Yes!" Liu Ye smiled and bowed to receive the order. Yang Fu and others broke the matter. The emperor handed over the matter to him, just to let Yang Fu and others take his affection. He turned around and was about to leave, but the emperor called him again, and hesitated for a moment before speaking.

"The eldest princess came a letter from her family a few days ago and said... The world is very big, like a great man, I don't know how many people are. Did Zi Yang hear about it?"

Liu Ye stopped and thought for a while. "I heard a little bit. I heard that there was Kushan west of the Pamir Mountains. Although it was not as vast as the Han Dynasty, there were also millions of people. There was also a rest. The Qin Dynasty and the Western Regions guardian Ban Chao ordered Gan Ying to be on an envoy to the shore of the sea."

"If the rejuvenation is not harmonious, I want to ride a raft and float in the sea, can Ziyang be with me?"

Liu Ye's eyes flashed slightly and he smiled: "I hope Your Majesty will work hard to govern, work hard, and leave the matter of going to sea to the King of Wu. If you are better at driving boats and tides, Wu Hui people are better at it."

The emperor couldn't help laughing and burst into laughter.

Liu Ye found Yang Fu and others to explain their purpose.

Just now being scolded by the emperor, Yang Fu and others were a little depressed and were planning how to clean up the mess. Seeing Liu Ye taking the initiative to help, they naturally couldn't ask for it. Liu Ye asked Yang Fu to contact Jia Xu. In the battle of Nanyang, Sun Ce wiped out 20,000 Xiliang people. Now Lu Su has blatantly seized Hongnong, which has proved that they did not regard Xiliang people as allies at all. The court will not kill Huangfu Song, but you can consider forgetting to remember the merits and rehabilitating Dong Zhuo, as long as they have to prove their worth and atone for their sins. The emperor will personally conquer Hongnong. The people of Liangzhou are the main force, whether to kill each other or to the outside world, you can consider doing it yourself.

Yang Fu was happy to obey orders. Considering that Zhao Qu was a little scholarly and had always been passive in the confrontation with Jia Xu, Yang Fu decided to send Yan Wen to Hedong. Not only did he contact Jia Xu, but he also had to discuss with Dong Yue and his subordinates to win some people as much as possible. Although they did not like Jia Xu, Dong Yue and others, they also knew that these people had been following Dong Zhuo for many years and had good combat power. If they really fought, the Liangzhou people would kill each other, and the chances of the emperor's revival would be gone, and the opportunities of the Liangzhou people would also be gone.

Yan Wen accepted the edict and set off for Hedong to meet Jia Xu.

At the same time, Liu Ye found some Hedong officials, such as the Censor Pei Mao and the Shangshu Pushe Wei Ji, and asked them to rush back to their hometowns in person, contact the villagers' party and relatives, lobby Jia Xu, and form a division. If Jia Xu supports the court, they will assist Jia Xu. If Jia Xu wants to use troops against Feng Yi, they will raise an army to cooperate with the court and attack Jia Xu.

Subsequently, the emperor issued an edict to personally fight. The Grand Marshal Sun Rui took charge of the steps and held the command of the Jinwu Lu Bu, with a total of 40,000 infantry and cavalry to reinforce Hongnong. Secretary Liu Ye followed the commander of the military. Shangshu ordered Xun Yu to stay.

The emperor issued an edict to read the vanguard and the infantry and cavalry were on standby in Chang'an. It would be no trouble to go to the expedition at this moment. Three days after the edict was issued, 40,000 infantry and cavalry set off. The Grand Tutor Huangfu Songzi Huangfu Jianshou was the vanguard general, Zhang Liao was the auxiliary, and 10,000 infantry and cavalry rushed to Hongnong.

Almost on the same day the emperor's edict was issued, General Yang Xiu sent people to Nanyang, Hongnong, and informed Sun Ce, Lu Su, and the emperor himself that the situation had a major turning point, so please be careful.

West Hongnong, on Hangu Mountain, Hengling. Lu Su stood with his hands behind his back, overlooking Hongnong City, sighing.

"It's really a great pass."

Xin Pi nodded and agreed. As the former Hangu Pass, the terrain was not as dangerous as a veritable reputation. The city was built in the valley. On the west side were mountains twenty or thirty feet high. The trees on the ridge were cut down, leaving only a few feet high stumps, with rugged rocks. Not to mention the formation of troops, there was no place to hide. As soon as they went up the ridge, the soldiers watching the city kept staring at it, and several defending crossbows also turned over. Once they entered the range, they might be attacked at any time. On the east side of the city was the gate water, which was more than ten feet wide and several feet deep. The scouts had discovered that iron piles were planted in the water, and warships could not enter. The terrain in the south and north of the city was limited, and the troops could not be merciless. The casualties of the strong attack must be quite large.

"Can that person be Fu Yun?" Lu Su raised his chin.

Xinpi looked at the city tower and saw several soldiers surrounded by a middle-aged official looking up. "It should be right. When I came to the west, Guan Yinxi saw the purple qi. Now the governor is coming to the west, and I don't know what kind of qi he will see."

"murderous look."

"Hahaha..." Xinpi Fuxu laughed. "It's a pity that this place is too far. Even if the governor drives a three-stone strong bow, he can't shoot under the city. Otherwise, he would be fine if he shot him to death with one arrow."

Lu Su glanced at Xinpi sideways. "Military advisor, I not only have three stone bows, but also Guoyi Camp and Guoyi Shi."

Xinpi was slightly stunned, and then his face changed slightly.

Of course he knew that Guoyi Camp and Guoyishi, Guoyi Camp was Lusu's personal guard camp, and Guoyishi was Lusu's Yicong tribe.

In the battle of Rencheng, Lu Su made great contributions and was given the name of Guoyi. He led two thousand soldiers from then on. After Lu Su was promoted to the governor, Guoyi Camp became his personal guard camp. In Guoyi Camp, the three hundred Guoyi soldiers were the strongest in combat. Lu Su was originally a powerful Jianghuai and rich. He followed Sun Ce’s family with thousands of troops, most of whom were traitors who were traversing Huai and Si. He was skilled in martial arts and was well-versed in battle formations. After following Sun Ce, he could only lead three hundred troops, so he selected them from the essence, and only 300 people. He was known as Guoyi. He did not care about other people's business and practiced martial arts. During the war, he followed Lu Su to fight against the Central Plains, and made many military achievements. He made compensation whenever he was damaged, and he was always full.

Xinpi put away his smile and said seriously: "Governor, I insist on opposing it. As a general, it is definitely not your duty to charge into battle."

"Don't worry, I won't go into battle myself, there is still a certain degree." Lu Su waved his hand and signaled Xinpi to be calm. "But the soldiers are very fast. We went deep alone and were attacked on both sides. If we cannot quickly take down Hongnong City to shock the enemy's courage, once the reinforcements from the court arrived, Jia Xu and Dong Yue repeatedly, we could only retreat. Taking down Hongnong, the troops were approaching Tongguan, and the navy would either enter the Wei River, point the sword to Guanzhong, or enter Puban, and attack Hedong, so that we could advance and retreat freely."

"But Guoyi Camp only has two thousand people, isn't there too few sieges?"

"If it is Hangu Pass, two thousand Guoyi Camps are indeed not enough. Now it is not Hangu Pass, but just Hongnong County. Two thousand Guoyi Camps are enough to break through the city defense and succeed in one blow." Lu Su was very confident and sneered: "To deal with these mobs, one Guoyi Camp will be five, and one Guoyi Shi will be ten. Cut Fu Yun's head and destroy Jia Xu's courage, so that he knows who can be enemies and who can't be enemies, and don't be foolish anymore."

He paused and smiled and said, "I haven't seen Liu Ziyang for many years and have met again after a long time. I can't let him down." m.
