Chapter 713: All around...Ru Ge! 【Ask for monthly ticket】
After hearing the conversation between Yuwen Chengdu and Xun You, Cao Xing took a naan, put some pickles on it, rolled up the naan, and walked out while eating.
Since the whole drama ends today, the artillery camp must also make arrangements.
In the real world, funerals include firing cannons and playing music. Song Xian, that wretched man, is responsible for playing the music. We are responsible for firing the cannons so that Yuan Shao can go on his way in high spirits.
But it's hard to say what kind of treatment he will receive when he gets to the underworld.
After all, there had been rumors before that Dong Zhuo was the emperor, and after he suspected that he was not the Liu family, he kept urging his subordinates to write articles against Liu Xie. Now that he was on the territory of Liu Xie and his grandmother, he deserved to suffer some physical pain.
I thought Liu Xie was young and had no support from his elders, so he could slander him with all his strength. Now, it's time for his elders to take action.
If it weren't for the fact that he couldn't follow up with the underworld, Cao Xing would have really wanted to go to the scene to see Yuan Shao's fate.
Arriving at the artillery camp, as soon as he entered the camp gate, he saw Song Xian riding on the barrel of the artillery and eating compressed biscuits. Cao Xing suddenly became furious:
"There's no place to sit for that little thing. You have to ride on the barrel of the gun. Haven't you heard that the artillery is the wife of the artilleryman? Get off here quickly!"
Song Xian smiled:
"I originally wanted to come down, but since this is your wife, I have to ride a little longer..."
Not only did this guy not come down, he deliberately straightened his back and hit the barrel twice. Cao Xing pulled his trouser leg down, and he suddenly fell flat on his back.
After the slapstick, Cao Xing got down to business:
"The general and military advisor have decided to send Yuan Shao on his way today. You have people prepare some paper money. Then I will use artillery to hit the city... Our artillery will not be allowed to participate in the battle. Is it okay to add some atmosphere? I heard what atmosphere is popular in the real world. A sexy beauty, I didn’t expect that Yuan Benchu also caught up with the fashion and suddenly transformed into a sexy lady.”
Song Xian agreed:
"Okay, then let's prepare some music to send people on their way... We were just a military band with added buffs, but now we have become the leader of a funeral band. They don't get paid and don't care about food. Who can we ask for explanation?"
He took a bite of the compressed biscuit and took out a letter from his arms:
"Chen Lin, who scolded His Majesty the most, secretly shot an arrow outside the city to beg for mercy, but was picked up by my men... Do you think that if this letter is handed in, the general will spare Chen Lin like Cao Ah Ma in the original work?"< br>
Cao Xing said:
"Forgive me, Cao Ah Man didn't kill him because he wanted to set an example for the people of Hebei. But now, do we need to consider this? Do the people of Hebei have the same heart as this group of homeless dogs? If Chen Lin is spared, then other rebels will be in trouble in the future. There will be lessons to be learned. No matter how big a mistake you make, just ask for mercy... How will the imperial court govern the Han Dynasty in the long run? "
After saying that, Cao Xing took the letter begging for mercy and threw it into the brazier next to him without even reading it:
"Except for a few necessary talents, all the people in the city must die, especially those who have insulted His Majesty. Do not be generous and merciful to them. If you become soft-hearted for a moment and displease the empress, you will be black and white. They locked us up, but no one helped us to intercede.”
There is no need to be merciful to enemies, otherwise not only will you be sorry to the court and your majesty, but you may even offend the gods.
When we arrived at the underworld, we experienced various tongue-pulling oil pans in turn, and there was no place to cry.
Song Xian shrugged:
"If you do this, you will lose a celebrity in the literary world."
"It's okay. General Fengxian will take over. The seven sons of Jian'an will have a place as generals in the future... No, there will no longer be the reign name of Jian'an. Now the reign title of Chuping will soon be abolished. I don't know, Your Majesty. What era will be enabled?”
When Dong Zhuo was in power, it was Chuping. After Dong Zhuo died, Li Jue and Guo Si took control of the court and changed the reign name to Xingping. Later, when the emperor returned to the east, Cao Cao stabilized the situation and changed the reign name to Jian'an.
Now that these rebellious ministers and traitors are either dead or have no chance to cause trouble, the imperial court's reign name will naturally be re-drawn.
At the same time, Chang'an City.
The great court meeting in Weiyang Palace had been held for some time. Just when several courtiers were debating whether to go to the opposite court to eat mutton soup or haggis soup, the veteran Ma Rixi stood up tremblingly, wanting to start something.
When the courtiers saw this, they immediately cheered up and sat upright on the couch, showing their concentration.
Although I don’t know what Lao Ma is going to say, since he takes the lead, it is definitely a big deal.
Countless major decisions in the past were initiated by this old man. He has become His Majesty's mouthpiece for spreading national policies in the court.
Although Ma Rixi is already very old, his voice is very loud:
"Your Majesty, now the Han Dynasty is like the rising sun, prospering day by day. The reign title established by the Dong thieves in the past should also be revised, in order to bring order to the chaos, all the officials will be more attentive, the soldiers will be more dedicated, and create a new foundation for the Han Dynasty."
Two hundred years after the founding of the country by Emperor Gaozu, the Han Dynasty was in turmoil and was reunited by Emperor Guangwu Liu Xiu, who was called Yan Han.
Now more than two hundred years have passed, and the Han Dynasty is once again in turmoil. If it can be unified again, it will be equivalent to reinventing the Han Dynasty. Liu Xie's achievements will directly match those of Liu Bang, Liu Che, Liu Xiu and other emperors.
Of course, Liu Xie's goal is not these. He intends to get rid of the chronic problems of aristocratic families ruling the Han Dynasty, so that everyone can study and have enough to eat every day.
Then on this basis, the territory of the Han Dynasty was expanded to the level of 30 million square kilometers.
At that time, all the tablets of the late emperors in the Liu family's ancestral temple had to be set back slightly.
As soon as Ma Rixi finished speaking, Cai Yong, as if he had practiced beforehand, also came out to hope that the reign name could be changed to bring new hope to the Chinese people.
After Cai Yong became Shangshu Ling, he not only got rid of the sour bookishness of the past, but his eloquence also improved, and he spoke a lot of ridiculous clichés. In short, he wanted to change the reign name.
Then, veteran general Lu Zhi and Taiwei Yang Biao, who were authorized to go to court with swords, also came out to agree to change the reign name.
The officials in the court now knew what to do. They all stood up one by one and asked His Majesty to change the reign name. Guo Jia also pretended to write a letter written with the blood of tens of thousands of people, saying that many people wanted to change the reign name and erase the last name of the Dong thief. A trace.
Liu Xie followed Shan Ruliu and asked Ma Rixi:
"Master, what era name do you think would be better?"
Ma Rixi cleared his throat and said the year name that he had agreed upon last night:
"My rise as a great man is all due to the strong support of Mr. Li in the real world. His Majesty also worships Mr. Li as his teacher, and Mr. Li's identity is the biological son of the Human Race Emperor Wa... His Royal Highness the Holy Son of Emperor Wa in the real world The name of the secluded place is Fengming. We Han people can use this as the reign name. Firstly, it means that we will never forget Mr. Li’s great kindness. Secondly, it also allows His Majesty to always remember Mr. Li’s teachings..."
He talked a lot, and even mentioned that the word "Feng Ming" means that His Majesty is astonishing. Anyway, he just listed all kinds of good things, and heard Yang Biao and others shouting that Lao Ma is not kind.
Why don't you leave us a few words? This old guy really likes to show off.
After Ma Rixi finished speaking, the courtiers gave a long list of approvals and echoes.
Although it seems like a hassle, this has actually greatly simplified the process, because in the past, changing the year name would have to be discussed in the court for several days, then go to the Ancestral Temple and the Ancestral Temple to worship, and then go to the outside of the city to worship. Heaven and earth pardoned a group of prisoners, and even refused to go to court for three consecutive days. All the officials burned incense and prayed devoutly at home, and they couldn't even think about it for a month.
Today, it takes less than half of the court time to draft the reign name. In the eyes of the officials of the Han Dynasty, it is already very efficient and fast.
To be honest, if it weren't for Liu Xie's series of iron-blooded tactics after taking power, the change of the year name would never have gone so smoothly.
After half an hour, the dharna will end.
All departments in Chang'an began to operate efficiently. All documents, materials, files, etc. need to be added with the era name of the first year of Fengming. In addition, the whole country must be notified that starting from the first day of April, the era name will be officially changed to Fengming. .
There was Fengming Village in the Sui and Tang Dynasties, and Water Margin said that there were a bunch of Fengming-related restaurants and academies in the Yue World. Now the Three Kingdoms world has directly changed the era name to Fengming, which fills the gap without Fengming elements.
After the ministers came to court in twos and threes, Sikong Zhangxi was invited to the imperial dining room by Huangmen Shilang, and was granted permission to have breakfast with His Majesty.
Zhang Xi was a little surprised and quickly reviewed his performance just now. Was it not profound enough or too exaggerated, so he would be criticized by His Majesty?
He followed Huangmen Shilang to the imperial dining room and saw that Yang Biao, Cai Yong and Ma Rixi were all there, and he was not alone. His anxious heart suddenly returned to his stomach.
Today's breakfast in the imperial dining room is very simple, including millet and pumpkin health porridge, takeaway egg pancakes, and pork and green onion buns.
The side dishes are simple cold shredded bamboo shoots, spinach with almonds, stir-fried Cantonese sausage with celery and pork fried in egg skin.
Zhang Xi washed his hands first, took the towel from Xiao Huangmen, wiped them, and sat down to eat.
Yang Biao took a bite of the snow vegetable bun and asked Zhang Xi:
“What is Sikong’s impression of Xuzhou?”
Zhang Xi thought for a while and said:
"It is relatively wealthy, but there are Buddhist bandits in the south, Yellow Turban Bandits in the north, the private land of merchants and aristocratic families in the middle, and adjacent to Yuzhou in the west, which has been encroached on a county by Yuan Shu... Why did the Taiwei suddenly ask this?"
Cai Yong is a good old man who can't hide things in his heart:
"Mr. Wenhe called yesterday and found out that Doctor Hua was in Xuzhou. Thinking that Tao Qian couldn't defend the place, he wanted you to go to Xuzhou as the governor, and sent Zhang He, the governor of Hongnong County, to be the captain of Xuzhou and be your deputy."
Zhang Xi had no idea that he would be posted as a high-ranking official in charge of the local area. He was so excited that he almost dropped his chopsticks:
"Your Majesty, do you really want to release me?"
Liu Xie nodded:
"Tao Qian's character is more suitable for serving as a high-ranking official in the court. If you don't want to, I can replace him with someone else."
Zhang Xi quickly said:
"I am willing, I am willing. I have heard about the wealth of Xuzhou for a long time. With Zhang Junyi's assistance, I will definitely be able to put an end to the banditry in Xuzhou and get the aristocratic families to donate their land!"
As the God of Wealth of the Han Dynasty, Zhang Xi thought of a plan in an instant. When he arrived in Xuzhou, he first conquered the East China Sea and recruited Mi Zhu to work for the governor's office. The Mi family was the number one merchant in the East China Sea and was as wealthy as anyone in the country. With Mi's family property, he could bypass the aristocratic families in Xuzhou and form an army belonging to the governor's office, and then quickly Open up the situation.
The banditry in various places was directly eliminated. As for the aristocratic families, those who were obedient could take a step back, and those who were disobedient were strangled on the spot. Through hard-handed bloodshed, it could not only eliminate the internal conflicts in Xuzhou, but also establish a sense of Xuzhou's inviolable boundaries for Yuan Shu. .
From now on, if he wants to secretly encroach on Xuzhou's land, he will have to think carefully.
In addition, you can join forces with Sun Ce from Jiangdong and Xu Rong from the north to put an end to the banditry and create a bright future for the people.
Seeing that Zhang Xi agreed, Liu Xie said:
"You can transfer a group of workers from the industrial zone to develop industry in Xuzhou, and at the same time, you can transfer people from the Hedong Salt Farm to dry salt on the coast of the East China Sea and increase tax revenue."
The conditions are sufficient, which makes Zhang Xi more confident:
"Your Majesty, don't worry. Within three years, I guarantee that Xuzhou will change drastically!"
Seeing this, Yang Biao originally wanted to read a passage about Chang Kaishen's discussion of Xuzhou in "The Great Battle", but he felt that this was too unlucky for Zhang Xi, so he forgot about it.
When I have the opportunity to inspect Xuzhou in the future, it won’t be too late to joke with Lao Zhang.
While eating, Guo Jia opened the door and walked in.
He had a special status. He was just like his own family in the palace. He picked up an egg pancake and took a bite before saying:
"Today Nanpi County will send Yuan Benchu off on his way. We have chosen to announce the reign name today, which is quite appropriate. There is no more suitable time to establish the reign name Fengming than the death of Yuan Shao."
Recalling that when Liu Xie came to power, Yuan Shao opposed him in various ways, but after the reign name of Chuping was determined, Yuan Shao strongly supported it.
Because he was named Benchu, and Liu Xie's reign name after he came to power was Chuping. In Yuan Shao's view, putting down Dong Zhuo's rebellion was destined to be the stage for me, Yuan Benchu.
Now, using Yuan Shao's death to commemorate the end of the Chuping era can be regarded as God's will.
Guo Jia sat down and gently touched Yang Biao with his elbow:
"Lao Yang, if we kill your brother-in-law, you won't hold a grudge, right?"
Yang Biao's wife is the daughter of Yuan Feng, the sister of Yuan Ji, Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu.
However, Yuan Shao adopted Yuan Cheng, so his biological sister became his cousin.
Yang Biao said:
"Yuan Shao knew that my father-in-law was in Luoyang City, and he deliberately raised troops to attack Dong Zhuo, causing the tragic death of my father-in-law and his family. To me, he is an enemy. How can I talk about my brother-in-law?"
Guo Jia asked again:
"Then what is Yang Xiu's attitude towards their uncles?"
"I can't wait to eat their flesh alive, especially after returning from the real world. Xiu'er feels more and more that the Yuan family is the cause of the chaos in the late Han Dynasty. We have already severed our relationship. If you are a filial piety, you can kill as much as you want. The more people of the Yuan family you kill, the more I feel in my heart. The more enjoyable it is.”
After speaking, Lao Yang asked:
"Guo Tu is a member of the Guo family in Yingchuan. Fengxiao won't intercede for him, right?"
Guo Jia picked up a piece of sausage and put it into his mouth:
"Please give me shit, I have completely separated from the Yingchuan Guo family. From now on, I will set up my own Guo family hall and not get involved with them... I have never seen such a stupid counselor, who is still full of fights in his head in the face of a catastrophe. During the Battle of Guandu, if this bitch and the Hebei counselors hadn't tried to undermine each other, Guandu would not have been defeated."
Liu Xie, who had never spoken, said:
"There are quite a lot of people like this. In the real world, some big companies, in order to attack men, forcefully destroy their main businesses. One game company even made itself a valuable asset that no one can take over. Never in this world has it happened. There is no shortage of people like Guo Tu who do not care about development but only focus on struggle. If they fail, they will continue to fight in another place.”
Guo Tu in Yuan Shao's camp is completely opposite to Jia Xu in Cao Cao's camp.
Cao Cao followed Jia Xu's advice and won all the wars. The only one he didn't listen to was the Battle of Chibi, where he suffered a disastrous defeat.
Guo Tu, on the other hand, heard that Yuan Shao's strategies all failed, but Yuan Shao trusted him very much, a fellow from Henan, and let Guo Tu make the decision in almost everything.
This kind of operation that accurately selects the wrong answer at every step is quite rare in the entire Three Kingdoms.
Outside Nanpi County, bursts of military drums sounded. The men and horses of each battalion put on armor, carried various siege equipment, and began to organize the siege.
In the past few days, except for the artillery and military bands, all soldiers and horses have participated in at least one siege.
Usually there are few opportunities for such offensive and defensive drills, so after Xun You and Yuwen reunited in Chengdu, they quickly made the decision to take turns to train.
Soon, the siege began.
Huang Zhong led his heavy infantry and personally committed suicide at the bottom of the city. With one arrow from the sunset bow in his hand and one guard at a time, he defeated the Yuan family's army on the city tower so that they did not dare to show their heads.
Yuwen Chengdu also took a recurve bow and practiced archery for a while at the west gate where he was responsible. Cao Xing, the galaxy archer, saw it and ran over to show off his archery skills.
The morale of the guards in the city was low. After being shot by this shot, they had no intention of resisting.
Cao Xing took the opportunity to let the artillery put the prepared paper money into the city, and also let the large drones scatter a lot, further reducing the morale in the city.
Yuan Shao shakily walked out of the house wrapped in a cloak. When he saw the paper money in the sky, he was a little unable to react:
"Is it...snowing?"
After being trapped in Nanpi, Yuan Shao waited for armies from all over the country to rescue him and regain the style of the Jujube Alliance. However, after waiting for more than a month, Mao did not see any of them, and instead heard a lot of curses.
He fell ill all of a sudden and felt cold all the time. All the doctors in the city were brought in to treat him, but in the end they could not find the root cause of the disease.
Yuan Shaozheng was imagining whether God felt that he was too wronged, so it snowed heavily in April, and he heard his second son Yuan Xi say:
"Father, these are traitors outside the city spreading paper money."
Paper money?
Yuan Shao raised his hand and tremblingly caught a "snowflake" falling in the air. Only then did he see that it was paper money used to pay for the deceased's grave. He had guarded Yuan Cheng's tomb for six years and was very familiar with this kind of thing.
Looking at the paper money in his hand, Yuan Shao seemed to have aged more than ten years.
He sat down on the steps next to him, gasping for air with a self-deprecating smile on his face:
"Are you afraid, Xi'er? I should have arranged for you to go to Liaodong earlier. I always thought that I, the Fourth and Third Duke of the Yuan family in Runan, would raise my arms and call upon all the scholars in the world to dare not disobey me. But now that I think about it, why should they listen to us? ”
Yuan Xi held back his tears and said with relief in a crying voice:
"Father, my child can still fight, and the soldiers are also asking for battle outside the door."
Yuan Shao waved his hand:
"Let them fend for themselves. No one from me is gone. Right or wrong, success or failure, it doesn't matter... I am a scoundrel of a maidservant. If I can have such a career, my life is not in vain."
< br>
He sighed and suddenly remembered the happy time he had lived in Runan when he was a child.
At that time, because of his status, he was not welcomed by the Yuan clan and could only play with the children of his servants.
They played in the mud together, played the willow flute together, secretly swam in the river together, picked lotus pods together, and sang those catchy songs together... Why were they singing those songs, and why couldn't they remember a single sentence?
Yuan Shao racked his brains and was recalling the songs of his childhood when suddenly the song "Yu Lin Lang" in his memory rang outside the city:
In the past there was a slave from the Huo family whose surname was Feng and whose name was Zidu.
Relying on the general's power, he made fun of the restaurant owner.
It's the fifteenth year of Hu Ji's year, and spring is the only time.
It has a long train with a belt and wide sleeves.
……
Hearing this familiar song, Yuan Shao could no longer hold back, tears dripped down the corners of his eyes like broken beads...
————————
Starting from the 25th, I have been updating ten thousand words for nine consecutive days, which is a bit overwhelming for my brain. I will update one today and tomorrow. I will slow down for a while, and resume two updates the day after tomorrow. Sorry, brothers, I am very easy to get tired this year, like the last book. The hand speed that hit 15,000 in a row has never been recovered.
