"Oh? What is it?" Yuan Shu was stunned.
"The capital doesn't have much grain left. If we join forces with the merchants of the world to cut off the capital's grain supply, it will definitely trigger a grain crisis.”
Yang Xiu said resentfully. Liu Bian had killed all the higher-ups of the Yang family, which had already made him hate the imperial power." Therefore, we have to race against time to go to Xu Prefecture and talk to the Mi family!”
The Mi Family was one of the top merchants in the world, known as the Mi Family in the South and the Zhen Family in the North. Together with the Zhen Family in Jizhou, they were the big merchants who monopolized the world's salt, iron, and grain!
Yuan Shu frowned." I'm afraid the Mi Family won't agree easily. If they send troops, Xu Prefecture is now in Tao Gongzu's hands. We need to do his job well!"”
"This matter is simple!"
Yang Xiu said with victory in his grasp," The Mi Family is just a merchant family. They don't enter the ranks of the aristocratic families. At most, they can be considered a wealthy family!"
"We only need to join forces with the Chen Family and other aristocratic families of Xu Prefecture. Tao Gongzu's Xu Prefecture has only recovered its vitality under the joint governance of these aristocratic families.
"It's fine if the Mi Family knows what's good for them, but if they don't…then we'll cut the Gordian knot quickly! He believed that the Chen family of Xu Prefecture and the other aristocratic families would understand this principle for the sake of their family's interests!”
Back then, Tao Qian had given Xuzhou to Liu Bei three times, and the Chen family and other aristocratic families had respected Liu Bei as their leader. However, after Lu Bu seized Xuzhou, the Chen family turned to Lu Bu.
To these aristocratic families, they could change the Prefecture Overseer position to anyone, as long as the interests of their families and the stability of Xu Prefecture were guaranteed.
If Lu Bu hadn't been such a scoundrel, perhaps the Chen Family wouldn't have joined hands with Cao Cao to deal with him.
To the aristocratic families, there was no such thing as a family. Even if there was, the premise was to ensure the interests of the family and the continuation of the family!
After all, the Chen family had once served as the nine ministers and belonged to the aristocratic families. So what if the Mi Family was the richest family in the world? The wealthy clan was stuffed to death!
The difference of one word was like the difference between heaven and earth!
Why did Mi Zhu spend all her wealth to support Liu Bei in the future, and even let her younger sister Mi Zhen marry Liu Bei, an old man who was over fifty years old, when she was still a young girl?
It was for the sake of politics and politics, to use this opportunity to enter the ranks of the aristocrats. Through this method of hoarding rare goods, they could achieve class advancement!
However, the Mi Family had not yet clung onto Liu Bei's thigh. Instead, they clung onto the thigh of Tao Qian and the other aristocratic families of Xu Prefecture. They helped each other and benefited each other, and they shared wealth and prosperity.
But now, it was no longer a matter of the Yuan and Yang families. It was a matter of the aristocratic families and the imperial power competing for benefits, just like the Yellow Turban Rebellion, forcing Emperor Han to give in!
The Chen Family was an aristocratic family. If the Mei Family rejected Yang Xiu's suggestion, they would die a miserable death. He believed that Mei Zhu, who could bring the Mei Family to the top of the world, would also know the times!
......
Yuan Shu was shocked. He sized up his nephew, who was only at the age of tying his hair, and found that he was also extremely resourceful and had the talent to govern the country.
The reason why he came to look for Xu Shao was because of the last words left behind by Grand Tutor Yuan Kui. It was just like the last words he left for Yuan Shao, asking him to go to Jizhou to clear the emperor's side.
But neither Yuan Shu nor Grand Tutor Yuan Kui had thought of using the idea of joining forces with merchants to cut off the capital's rations!
Grand Tutor Yuan Kui was unable to prepare for a rainy day and had predicted this step. After all, dying in the Imperial Court was somewhat unexpected. But he, Yuan Shu, was still alive, but his strategic vision was completely inferior to Yang Xiu's!
'If not for this matter, this child would also be one of the three dukes and nine ministers in the future! It's a pity that His Majesty doesn't tolerate us aristocratic families!'
Yuan Shu sighed in his heart, then nodded and said,"Uncle, immediately send someone to contact the Chen family and talk to the Mi family!”
"The faster the better!"
"It's best if you can inform Uncle Yuan Shao that Jizhou has fertile land. With a million soldiers, we can provide ten years of grain." As long as he could communicate with the Zhen Family, he could surround the capital and control everything other than grain!”
"Dezu, how did you know that Yuan Shao went to Jizhou?”Yuan Shu was shocked. The letter that Grand Tutor Yuan Kui gave him was that after Yuan Shao took Jizhou, the two brothers would coordinate with each other.
But Yuan Shao had not taken Jizhou yet!
"Uncle, stop joking! His great-uncle spent a lot of effort to make Han Fu the herdsman of Jizhou. Han Fu was a student of the Yuan family.
"Moreover, after Uncle Yuan Shao publicly contradicted Dong Zhuo and fled the capital, didn't he set off for Hebei? If it wasn't Jizhou with a million soldiers and ten years of support, where would it be?!”
Yang Xiu shook his head speechlessly, thinking that Yuan Shu was testing him. However, Yuan Shu really couldn't figure out the reason. After hearing this, he could only sigh in his heart.
Yuan Shu also had an idea in his mind, A strategist is indeed very important to a force. It seems that I need to recruit talents too!”
......
Luoyang, the capital.
After the massacre in the northern suburbs, the soldiers were cleaning up the battlefield and counting the casualties!
"Your Majesty!" Yu Huatian said. In this battle, the Great Snow Dragon Cavalry lost more than 15,000 men, and the Western Liang cavalry lost more than 100,000 men. There were still tens of thousands of survivors waiting for His Majesty's judgment!”
The corpses of more than 100,000 people piled up like a small mountain. Most importantly, the blood that flowed down had already gathered into a river.
Corpses piled up like mountains and blood flowed like rivers!
The entire Northern Suburbs was dyed red and turned into red soil!
The situation was tragic!
However, the shock to the world could not be said to not be strong!
"I'll be imprisoned first and sent to the border to work!”
Liu Bian had already achieved his goal. As for the survivors, he naturally could not waste them. He could just throw them to the border to build the Great Wall and dig up coal mines.
"This general will obey!" Yu Huatian accepted the order.
"Your Majesty!" Cao Zhengchun reported. The people who spread rumors in the capital have all been captured. This servant has already ordered people to interrogate them for information. Expose the mastermind!"
Liu Bian didn't reply. He couldn't wait to come over to take credit before he found out?
He took a deep look at the mountain of corpses and the river of blood, then turned around and left.
There were still many things waiting for him to deal with.
Cao Zhengchun was shocked. The Emperor's expression did not change, and his emotions did not fluctuate. The Emperor's heart was hard to fathom. But His Majesty did not answer, which meant that he was the most dissatisfied with him!!
Corpses piled up like mountains and blood flowed like rivers. The soldiers of the West Hall were able to clear the battlefield in a short period of time and submit the results!
But what about the East Chamber?
Trash! They were all trash!
Cao Zhengchun was one step behind and gave a death order to the East Chamber's soldiers,""I don't care what method you use, but use the fastest speed to interrogate and get the information. Hand over the name list of the mastermind behind the heresy!”
"This…"
The commander hesitated. Those people were not afraid of death, and they could not read minds. They definitely needed time to wear down their spirits.
Cao Zhengchun's zhenqi was leaking and he was on the verge of exploding."I can't do it! Bring me your head!"
"This subordinate understands!" The commander of the East Military Hall retreated in fear. He could already feel Cao Zhengchun's violent outburst.
Cao Zhengchun restrained his aura and gave chase with a harmless smile.
However, when he approached the Emperor, Yu Huatian glanced at him with disdain. Cao Zhengchun felt a little cold. The Eastern and Western Chambers were competitors, but he did not lose his temper. He maintained his smile and did not dare to act rashly in front of the Emperor.
Liu Bian had acquiesced to the competition between the East and West Factories. As long as the competition was within his permission, it would be beneficial to the development of each party and could also supervise each other.
If his subordinates were to collude with each other, like the aristocratic families, Liu Bian would have struck out instead!
This was also the way of an Emperor's balance!
" Greetings, Your Majesty!"
" Long live Your Majesty!"
When Liu Bian marched forward, the soldiers of Bingzhou knelt down in a mighty manner. They shouted like a tsunami, each and every one of them sincere and sincere!
The battle between the Great Snow Dragon Cavalry and the Western Liang Army had shocked the Bingzhou Army. Absolute strength made them extremely respectful of the imperial power, a respect that came from the bottom of their hearts!
Liu Bian didn't react at all. He just looked ahead and ignored it.
However, when he passed by Zhang Liao and the others, Liu Bian suddenly stopped and frowned.
This discovery made Cao Zhengchun and the other vassals 'hearts skip a beat. They tried to figure out how the Bingzhou Army had offended Liu Bian, and killing intent rose in their hearts.
Who knew that Liu Bian's voice would ring out,""Raise your head!"
