Hee Emperor of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 289 Countdown to the Great War (Part [-])
A few days later, Yuan Xi walked Li Ru and Han Yan in the garden in the governor's mansion of Youzhou.

"Military Master, Zipei, I don't blame Xi for hiding it from you!" Yuan Xi suddenly stopped, turned around and looked at the two of them and said with a smile.

"Master Hou is serious," the two said quickly.

"Liu Bei was indeed assassinated by Xi's order. You two don't have to hold back your curiosity. As for the reason, it's very simple. This emperor uncle is a disaster, and Xi doesn't want to see him." Yuan Xi waved his hand lightly, with joy on his face. It is said that once Liu Bei dies, the Shu Kingdom in the previous life will disappear, which will reduce a lot of troubles for the future unification of the world.

Yuan Xi is a great pragmatist. If he can get rid of Cao Cao and Sun Quan in this way, that would be just right. However, he doesn't care how many big battles, tough battles, and how many heroes he has to kill to establish his prestige. Evaluation, what he needs is the supreme right and supreme wealth of himself and his descendants, as for the others, they are all vain.

"I will never disagree with Lord Hou's decision. It's just that Liu Bei's general is not close, and his troops are less than a thousand. Why does Lord Hou attach so much importance to him?" Han Yan asked curiously.

"There aren't many soldiers, so don't father have many soldiers? If one general is incompetent, the whole army will be exhausted. If one master is incompetent, the country will be destroyed and the family will perish. Although Liu Bei only needs to close the door, this person's use of the word benevolence has reached an extraordinary level. The only thing he regrets is that he doesn't have a good mastermind. If he has one, he will surely grow wings, so he can't stay." Yuan Xi explained with a smile. How could it be possible to give him a chance to take refuge in him? Anyone who affects his imperial career and rights, no matter how talented or heroic he is, will be killed.

"Hou Ye is wise, and Liang fully supports him. Liu Bei is a man of pride, and he will never surrender sincerely. Since it is so early, it will definitely be beneficial and harmless," Li Ru supported.

"Haha, okay, let's not talk about this, my father is probably going to mobilize troops soon. With Uncle Tian in Jizhou, and Jiao Chu's [-] army, he can definitely win it in one fell swoop. Now it is Bingzhou and Qingzhou. Xi sent troops Afterwards, once the father's authorization is obtained, the four continents must obtain as much as possible, and all of them will be brought under the command of a certain party in a peaceful manner, so as to ensure the stability of the rear," Yuan Xi said softly.

"My lord, the secret agents of our army are currently recovering the list of high officials in the two states," Han Yan said.

"Very well. Talented people must be retained. It's okay to manage the various places. Bingzhou is okay. The key lies in Qingzhou. I guess some big brothers are loyal. If it is not a last resort, lock them up first. Wait for someone to come back and talk to them. Even if the request is too much, you can agree, in short, the four continents must not be chaotic," Yuan Xi ordered.

"promise!"

"Also..." Yuan Xi took Li Ru and Han Yan to sit in a gazebo, and said, "I have already talked with Guo Ren, Wuhuan is stable, and I plan to transfer him to Yecheng to assist Uncle Tian, Guorang, the new ambassador to Wuhuan, has elected his student Xie Jun, what do you think?"

"Yes, I have met Xie Junru a few times. Although he is a little young, he is very talented and knowledgeable, calm in situations, and he is a gentleman." Li Ru nodded.

"In particular, he respects Lord Hou very much, and he is also among the best in Juxian Guan's assessment," Han Yan said.

"Then issue an order to make Xie Jun the ambassador to Wuhuan, and the commander has reserved 1 people," Yuan Xi ordered.

"promise!"

"In addition, here is a message that just came from Liaodong, take a look." Yuan Xi took it out from his cuff and handed it to Li Ru.

After the two of them read it one by one, Han Yan suddenly said angrily: "This Gongsun Qi is looking for death! He thought he had some merits, but he was so lawless that he used the treasury's wealth for a woman."

"It's easy to kill him, but I'm afraid that other Liaodong generals who have just surrendered will have opinions, and this kind of corruption problem is already very serious in the north," Li Ru frowned.

"Xi has already issued an order. Let's take a look. If Xi is still the same when he comes back from the Central Plains, then there is no need to stay. In addition, the corruption problem mentioned by the military adviser should not be underestimated. Our army is currently in charge of secret spies. Xi intends to let They are in charge of military affairs, and as for the management of officials, they must be separated, and a separate department will be set up in the future to supervise with full power," Yuan Xi said solemnly.

"Master Hou is wise"

"Zipei, the battle at Guandu will definitely not end in a short time. Cao Cao has few troops, so he will definitely build a fortress at Guandu. In Yixi's opinion, it may take a few months. Don't waste this time, even though I The army was caught by surprise, and the force is huge, but we still need to expand the strength and scale of our army step by step," Yuan Xi said, looking at Han Yan.

"promise!"

"Military division, Yuan Zhi and Shi Yuan have been away for a few days," Yuan Xi suddenly said with concern.

"It's been three days, I guess we've already arrived in Liyang and joined General Gao Lan," Li Ru said.

"It's a long way to send an order, let them attack decisively, and don't have to report everything to someone," Yuan Xi said.

"Don't worry, Lord Hou. Confucianism has reminded you that if Cao Cao wins, he will take Cao Cao's army by surprise and block the white horse. Wait for the army to arrive." Li Rudao
Yuan Xi nodded. This is the safety lock they arranged after discussion. Youzhou is so far away from the Central Plains, and the transmission of information is difficult, so it is necessary to make a decisive decision. However, the horror of ghosts made Yuan Xi very cautious. Originally, Li Ru went to , Yuan Xi was worry-free, but he couldn't do without Li Ru, so he sent Pang Tong and Xu Shu over there together. With these two working together, even if the ghosts are powerful, they can't stand up against the situation of insufficient troops. storm.

"After three months, regardless of the outcome, our army of 12 from Youzhou will officially march south and send troops to the Central Plains," Yuan Xi announced.

Li Ru and Han Yan immediately stood up and respectfully said, "No!"

"Oh! Zipei! You have to give Han Zheng a good compliment. Because of his hard work, Goguryeo seems to be preparing to learn Chinese throughout the country. This will be of great significance to the unification of Goguryeo by our army in the future. Xi has already planned to further appoint him as the ambassador to Goguryeo. , have full authority to deal with the affairs over there," Yuan Xi laughed.

"Thank you, Lord Hou," Han Yan said with a wry smile.

"Lord Hou, Goguryeo is so afraid, I hope you can send business groups over there, and step by step to completely control Goguryeo's economy," Li Ru suggested.

Yuan Xi nodded immediately, and said: "What the military adviser said is true, tell the Zhen family to bring a few business groups there, and Liu Yi will send troops to guard them, and tell them that not only must they learn how to make money, but they must also give their reputation to someone. up"

"promise!"

"Hou Ye" saw Liu Quan running over with a document, and said solemnly: "I just received the news that my lord has decided to formally confer the title of general in five days' time, to pay homage to the ancestors of heaven and earth, and then command Ji, Qing, Combined with three armies, a total of 53 went south, regained the Central Plains in one fell swoop, and stabilized the world, known as an army of one million to the outside world."

"Okay, very good, haha" Yuan Xi laughed loudly.
