"Mu Shun, send Yuan Benchu and his whole family to Yanzhou. Don't be lazy along the way. After they are sent back, you should organize the troops everywhere. Gongsun Zan and Liu Yu in the north have actually said that we are unruly in the past few days, so I will let them know
What are the rules? After capturing them, Zhao Zilong will lead the army to sweep Goguryeo, and then directly attack Sanhan and deal with those sticks. Just follow the way I dealt with the barbarians. By the way, remember to build a navy stronghold east of Sanhan.
, we will have a place to stay when the navy goes over to destroy those Japanese slaves."
Xiao Jiang ordered that other people should not be avoided. When Yuan Shao heard Xiao Jiang's next plan, he felt a chill down his spine. He knew that Gongsun Zan and Liu Yu of Youzhou would be the leaders next, and those foreigners would probably regret provoking the majesty of the Han Dynasty.
After seeing off Yuan Shao, Ding Yuan asked with a smile:
"Your Majesty, the next step is to eliminate the troubles in the north, so who are you going to let manage Jizhou? You know that Yanzhou Sili came here before, so Cao Mengde is very worried."
Xiao Jiang said with a smile:
"He is still worried about the trouble I will bring him. Although Yuan Shao is afraid of me, he is not afraid of Cao Cao. As long as there is a chance, he will still seek to gain influence. Cao Mengde... just wait and see. As for us, he will only
He can deal with it carefully. If he stirs up trouble, he will know how disastrous the result will be.
As for the arrangement of the governor of Jizhou, I think Jushou is good. He is strategic and far-sighted, but he has never had a good boss to put him to good use. He will understand after he visits Qingzhou College."
Ding Yuan laughed and said:
"Your Majesty is unique in employing people. He has detailed regulations for all government affairs. Coupled with Tian Yuanhao's supervision of government affairs, I believe that Your Majesty will definitely make the world peaceful."
Xiao Jiang said thoughtfully:
"Perhaps the world will be peaceful for a few days in my hands, but who knows what will happen in the future? Perhaps only a complete management system and monitoring system that decentralizes power can truly stabilize the world."
Although Ding Yuan has always admired Xiao Jiang's ability and was loyal to Xiao Jiang, he still didn't understand what Xiao Jiang said. Looking at the curious and confused Ding Yuan, Xiao Jiang said leisurely:
"Government affairs are independent, supervision is independent, and the military is independent. The commander-in-chief of the three highest powers is unified, but he is restrained by these three forces.
Although this method is not perfect, it can prevent the supreme commander from doing things willfully. Once the supreme commander is incompetent, the representatives of the three powers can depose the commander. However, all this requires honest and upright representatives of the three powers. Although it is difficult, there are still most of them.
Containment."
Ding Yuan suddenly realized, he nodded and said:
"It is indeed difficult to balance everything. If we can restrain each other and prevent the world from being chaotic, we must formulate a perfect plan. However, I believe that since the prince can propose it, he can naturally find the best method."
Ding Yuan was not flattering, he really believed that Xiao Jiang could do it. Xiao Jiang continued to make arrangements for a long time. He did not enter Yecheng and let Ding Yuan handle the next thing. He continued to set off for Chang'an with a thousand iron guards.
.
…
Ten days later, outside Tongguan, Xiao Jiang looked at the closed door and stared coldly at the closed guard Duan Xuan. Behind him, a brave general came out and shouted:
"Keep the gate closed, are you illiterate or have you rebelled against the imperial court? The King of Beihai is coming, and you dare to close the gate without coming out to greet him in person. Do you think you can divide the world with just this pass?"
The expression of the military general at the gate changed slightly. He was Duan Yan, who was ordered to guard Huayin and build the pass here. He was the only general under Dong Zhuo who did not disturb the people and was considerate of the common soldiers. Looking at the nine-xi and green-covered carriages under the gate, Duan Yan
Xuan shook his hands, took a deep breath and said:
"Switch, soldiers follow me to greet Prince Xiao."
As the door opened, Duan Yan led the soldiers out with his bare hands. When he got closer, Duan Yan half-knelt on the ground and said:
"Your Majesty is here, but Duan Xuan has failed to welcome you from far away. I am only following the emperor's order to close the pass, and ask that the prince's bodyguards are not allowed to enter the pass and threaten the capital."
Xiao Jiang chuckled and said:
"Dong Zhuo is so cowardly? He has a hundred thousand troops around Chang'an. Tsk tsk, he is actually afraid of a thousand of my cavalry. This damages his reputation as Xiliang cavalry."
Duan Yan almost laughed at Xiao Jiang's teasing tone. If it had been half a month ago, Dong Zhuo would not have been worried, but Yuan Shao's interception battle and the terrifying legend of a thousand iron guards fighting into an army of 30,000 had already spread. If Dong Zhuo had
Let these thousand iron guards enter Chang'an, and killing him is as simple as killing a chicken.
It’s okay to be afraid. Since Xiao Jiang dares to show his strength, he wants to scare those who should be afraid. He said with a smile:
"Since he is afraid, I will leave the iron guards here, but I think this chariot and the fifty escorts should be able to enter the palace, right? I have a nine-tinted green cap, so I can bring the chariot to the palace."
Duan Xuan nodded and said:
"I understand this. The royal carriage and the guards can enter, as long as the Iron Guards stay."
Xiao Jiang laughed and said:
"That's enough. To be honest, I want to kill someone. Even if I don't take anyone with me, I can easily kill whoever I want. There is no one in the world who can stop me."
Duan Xuan's eyes moved and he said:
"Your Majesty, can you assist the Emperor?"
Xiao Jiang spread his hands and said:
"Staying here is against the king's orders, unless the emperor can personally issue the order, but you should know what is going on with this emperor. I am powerless, not to mention there is a more complicated inside story."
Xiao Jiang said this deliberately because he believed that there must be Dong Zhuo's cronies among the surrounding soldiers. Moreover, he had no intention of saving Liu Xie. There was no death threat to Liu Xie in the short term, so he did not want to use some of his trump cards now.
Duan Xuan's eyes dimmed. He also knew that the matter was complicated. If Xiao Jiang really stayed in Chang'an to assist the emperor, Dong Zhuo's rights would soon be deprived of his rights. Would Dong Zhuo be willing to do so? And Xiao Jiang only had so few people in Chang'an, except for himself.
Paul, what about the emperor and the civil and military officials?
Xiao Jiang stepped forward and patted Duan Yan on the shoulder and said:
"Take care of yourself and keep an eye on my iron guard. If anything happens to me, they won't care who orders it. Anyone who stands in their way will be torn to pieces."
Duan Xuan was stunned for a moment and nodded quickly:
"You will eventually understand."
Xiao Jiang smiled and returned to the car, while the Thousand Iron Guards turned around and stationed on the hillside by the river ten miles away. When Xiao Jiang's car drove away, Duan Yan clenched his fists and whispered:
"Tie Dong, I really hope you take action against Prince Xiao. By then, these thousand iron guards and my five thousand soldiers and horses, even if they can't kill you, can still drive you out of the court."
As Xiao Jiang drove closer and closer to Chang'an, on the city wall of Chang'an, Dong Zhuo, who looked fatter than before, touched his fat belly and looked into the distance and whispered:
"My son, who is stronger or weaker, you or Xiao Jiang?"
Lu Bu, who was wearing a hundred-flower robe, an animal mask, a purple gold wind feather crown, looked even more handsome now. He narrowed his eyes and said:
"If it's an infantry fight, I guess he's a little stronger than me, but since I have Red Rabbit, we might be evenly matched in a horse fight."
