Chapter 685 Relying on the Son of Heaven to Order the Princes!
Chapter 685: Holding the emperor hostage to order the princes!
Zhang Liao and Gan Ning neatly killed the envoy sent by Yuan Shu.
The two armies were fighting and the envoys were not killed. In Gan Ning's opinion, Yuan Shu was not qualified to use this sentence.
It is not within the constraints of this sentence.
Yuan Shu is just a rebel!
After beheading the envoy, the soldiers who came with Yuan Shu's envoy were asked to go back with the envoy's head and the military seal obtained by Yuan Shu.
He also asked the soldiers to tell Yuan Shu and let him wash his neck there, waiting for Gan Ning to go over and chop off his head.
Dedicate this to the King of Han so that the whole world can become peaceful!
However, it was not that the items sent by Yuan Shu were returned.
All the gold, silver and some cloth and silk sent by Yuan Shu were kept and confiscated.
"These things can be returned if the false emperor's military talisman seals them.
But since Yuan Shu has sent money and other things, there is no reason not to accept them.
We helped him, Yuan Shu, get rid of a scourge of his subordinates, and taught Yuan Shu, a rebel, a lesson, which can be regarded as a great effort.
He has to give some money, right?"
Gan Ning looked at Zhang Liao and said this.
Zhang Liao smiled and nodded, saying that what Gan Ning said made sense.
After dealing with this small episode, the two are willing to continue practicing navy here.
Not long after these things were dealt with, Taishi Ci came all the way from Guanzhong.
After Taishi Ci arrived here, he met Zhang Liao and Gan Ning, and took out Liu Cheng's appointment documents and gave them to Zhang Liao and Zhang Liao for viewing.
The two of them learned about Tai Shi Ci's achievements in Tongguan.
And we also know that Tai Shici was a native of Donglai in the past, relying on the sea, and used to make a living on the sea.
Very brave and good at water.
I also saw that Emperor Liu's uncle had high praise for Taishi Ci in his letters.
Let Zhang Liao and Gan Ning get along well with Taishi Ci to prepare for the subsequent attacks on Jingzhou, Nanyang and other places.
Zhang Liao and Gan Ning all laughed and were very enthusiastic towards Tai Shi Ci.
Taishi Ci also became the deputy commander of the navy.
So far, the navy in Yizhou has three commanders.
Gan Ning and Tai Shi Ci were appointed deputy governors.
Zhang Liao was appointed governor-general.
Of course, since there are positive and negative points, Zhang Liao must be the main one.
Among the three, Zhang Liao had been under Liu Cheng for a longer period of time, had made greater contributions, and was more capable.
There is no shortage of means and prestige.
Nature can suppress people.
It is impossible to exist in history. After Zhou Yu became the governor, the deputy governor was dissatisfied.
Zhang Liao and Gan Ning were very happy about Tai Shici's arrival.
I didn't look down upon him in any way.
After all, they knew that this was someone whom the emperor's uncle solemnly recommended.
They all have a deep understanding of the emperor's uncle's accuracy in judging people.
It is said that Taishi Ci is suitable to be the deputy commander of the Navy, then Taishi Ci must have this talent and be able to hold on to the position.
However, this does not mean that the rest of the army will be convinced.
There are also some people who feel dissatisfied with the fact that a general like Tai Shi Ci, who was in nowhere in the past, came here and got such a high position directly after arriving here.
Although I never said it out loud, I was dissatisfied in my heart.
However, this dissatisfaction soon disappeared.
Taishi Ci naturally knew that if he suddenly came here and got a high position, he would definitely not be able to convince everyone.
Therefore, I also intend to show my abilities.
Let people see what they can do.
After a demonstration of the skills of horseback kung fu, water kung fu, and commanding warships and soldiers to coordinate and kill each other, some generals who were dissatisfied were left speechless.
Everyone was convinced.
This is the case in the military.
Respect strength.
In addition, he had made great contributions to Uncle Liu Huang in the past.
Moreover, it was the emperor's uncle who parachuted in directly.
So after he showed his skills, Zhang Liao and Gan Ning were here to provide some assistance, so he quickly established a foothold.
With Tai Shici coming over, Zhang Liao became more confident about going down the river and attacking Jingzhou.
"If we go east now, they will definitely see how powerful we are!"
Gan Ning said happily.
With impatience and some domineering attitude.
This is really not because he looks down on those people, but because they themselves are too powerful.
And their commander-in-chief is Uncle Liu Huang.
The longer I stay with Uncle Liu Huang, the more I feel that fighting under Uncle Liu's command is particularly reassuring.
Even if Uncle Liu Huang is far away in Guanzhong at this time, he will never come here to command them in this battle.
But they still felt extraordinarily stable in their hearts.
Perhaps, this is the commander's charm bonus...
…
Here in Guanzhong, Liu Cheng looked at Jia Xu and said with a smile: "What do you think the military advisor should do about this matter?"
Before Jia Xu, he was sent to the north by Liu Cheng to deal with many post-war matters.
At this time, Chu was ready to go out, but Liu Cheng transferred him back from there.
Instead, Zhong Yao was sent there to handle these matters.
Jia Xu's ability is beyond doubt.
After such a long time, the matters in Dingxiang and other places have been roughly sorted out.
The key issues have been resolved.
In addition, there is General Huang Zhong stationed there with troops and horses. If he is transferred back at this time, there will be no problems.
As for Zhong Yao, after many observations and some tests, Liu Cheng has also confirmed that this person can be entrusted with big tasks.
Zhong Yao is not only good at handwriting, he is also very capable.
There is absolutely no problem in letting him take over from Jia Xu and handle various matters.
He can definitely do it well.
At this time, compared to dealing with various government affairs such as the Huns over there, the next Eastern Expedition is a more important matter.
At this time, Guo Jia was appointed by Liu Cheng to build education and other various matters, and now things have improved.
Naturally, this battle cannot take Guo Jia away from Guanzhong.
Guo Jia needs to be allowed to continue working hard for things like education here at the rear.
A century-old plan is based on cultivating people.
The battle needs to be fought, but education must also keep up.
Education is extremely important, especially later on, after the place is conquered.
Liu Cheng can now more fully experience the importance of what he has done.
People need to have a long-term perspective and not just look at the present.
However, this battle was too important, and without a reliable military advisor around him, Liu Cheng was still a little worried after all.
So after some thought, he recruited Jia Xu, who was relatively close to him.
Worship him as a military advisor and general and let him go on expeditions with you.
In fact, the title "strategist general" did not exist before.
However, Liu Cheng also liked it very much and called the people around him who had great ability to make suggestions as military advisors.
I always think this is more palatable.
Therefore, the title of Military Advisor General was created.
He worshiped Jia Xu as his military advisor and kept him by his side to serve as his staff.
At this time, after hearing Liu Cheng's inquiry, Jia Xu thought for a moment and then said: "
Uncle Emperor, I think we should agree to this matter."
At this time, Jia Xu and Liu Cheng were talking about what they said. They were Gongsun Zan's envoys, asking for help.
At this time, Gongsun Zan's envoy finally arrived in Guanzhong.
Started to ask Liu Cheng for help.
Liu Cheng didn't speak when he heard this, he just sat there looking at Jia Xu, waiting for Jia Xu's next words.
Jia Xu's voice continued: "It doesn't mean that we really sent troops to fight Yuan Shao and help Gongsun Zan.
You can shout more and ask Yuan Shao to stop the unjust war.
Moreover, in addition to preparing to attack Yuan Shu, there is another thing that needs to be done.
That is to call on everyone in the world to come together to defeat Yuan Shu.
He also issued edicts in the name of the emperor to Yuan Shao, Liu Biao, Sun Jian, Gongsun Du, Tao Qian and others.
Order them to attack Yuan Shu, this rebellious official and traitor together."
Hearing Jia Xu say this, Liu Cheng thought for a moment and nodded with a smile.
Expressing approval for what Jia Xu said.
This is the benefit of having the emperor in hand.
Holding the emperor hostage to command the princes is not just empty talk.
No matter what you do, especially when doing big things, you always need to stand firm on the basis of righteousness.
Although sometimes, many people know that this thing is actually quite nonsense, but there is no way, this is a kind of righteousness.
It means being recognized by the world.
Some things can indeed be done.
Liu Cheng smiled and nodded to Jia Xu: "You still have to look after the military advisor. I will ask someone to write an imperial edict to do it."
Send an edict to Yuan Shao and others, asking them to fight Yuan Shu together.
According to the current status and position of these people, they will definitely not attack Yuan Shu.
Even people like Liu Biao might unite to attack him.
But Liu Cheng didn't care about this.
What he wants is nothing more than a great righteousness.
They do theirs and Liu Cheng does his own.
As long as this edict is sent out, it will be spread all over the world.
Then the problems came to Yuan Shao and others.
Of course they don't have to do things according to what Liu Cheng said.
However, after Liu Cheng defeated Yuan Shu, it became logical to send troops to question them.
No one could say anything else.
Especially those who dare to join forces with Yuan Shu to fight against Liu Cheng's troops at this time.
That is even more untenable on the basis of righteousness.
Will be crushed by Liu Cheng out of righteousness.
He is inherently at a disadvantage.
Then, you can continue to crush them with soldiers and horses.
This step alone can make many things in the future stable.
This is why Liu Cheng said these words to Jia Xu at this time.
"My lord, perhaps there is no need to rush to the eastward expedition. Rumors and the like can be released to create the illusion that the eastward expedition will begin immediately.
Mobilize all these people.
Keep them busy.
Later, the lord will choose the opportunity and send his troops eastward. It will not be too late.
Uncle Emperor just does his own thing and doesn’t need to pay too much attention to these people..."
Liu Cheng smiled when he heard what Jia Xu said.
After thinking about it, he smiled and nodded, feeling that what Jia Xu said was reasonable.
Sure enough, sometimes when I have to calm down, I still have to look at the old turtle.
At this time, Jia Xu's approach seemed a bit like fishing.
I just want to use these things, plus the edict that will be issued to Yuan Shao and others, to mobilize all the people in Guandong.
Let them take their own sides.
We are not afraid of them joining forces, it would be better if they join forces.
Just enough to take them out in one fight.
You can also use more time to build momentum for yourself.
Let this battle become more just.
And according to Liu Cheng's strength, he is really not afraid of them joining forces now.
It would be better if we united!
Although the challenge is relatively high, it can be accomplished in one battle.
Liu Cheng really wasn't afraid of them.
At the beginning, he was able to defeat the eighteen princes at Sishui Pass with a small number of soldiers and horses until they could not lift their heads.
Nowadays, neither the territory nor the troops and horses are what they used to be.
In this case, beating them is no problem!
What's more, Liu Cheng also understood that nowadays, it is simply impossible for these princes to unite to fight against him.
If the thief Yuan Shu does not become emperor, it is still possible.
But now that he has become emperor, things have become different.
"Only Liu Biao in Jingzhou would make such a choice.
Liu Biao seems to be the lord of Jingzhou, but in fact he is not.
He has inextricably linked relationships with many aristocratic families in Jingzhou.
The aristocratic families in Jingzhou are very powerful.
At a critical moment, the interests of those aristocratic families were seriously threatened, so Liu Biao could only follow the interests of the aristocratic families.
Do what they want.
Therefore, Liu Biao was the only one who helped Yuan Shu resist the emperor's uncle this time.
Only he would do this.
The rest of the people will not do this and will only watch Yuan Shu being beaten."
At this time, the news of the alliance between Liu Biao and Yuan Shu has not yet reached here.
However, Jia Xu is already sitting here talking.
Determine some things directly.
After transferring Jia Xu from the North to his side and worshiping him as a military advisor, Liu Cheng suddenly felt much more relaxed.
As expected, Jia Xu's ability is beyond doubt.
Whether it's making suggestions or handling government affairs, he's very good at it.
I can do it properly for you.
Moreover, many times it seems that they are inconspicuous.
But inadvertently, the matter was solved for you in an ordinary way.
He is a rare talent!!
While Liu Cheng and the others were preparing various things here, Yuan Shu also saw the envoys he sent.
To be precise, it was the head of the messenger he sent out.
Looking at the head that had been pickled with lime in front of him.
Yuan Shu's face turned red.
He pulled out the sword at his waist and cut off a corner of the desk in front of him with a single blow!
"You thief Gan Ning, you have bullied me too much!
If you don’t eat the toast, you will be punished with a drink!
From now on, I will definitely chop off your head!!"
