The Most Romantic of the Three Kingdoms

Yang Hong left Nanyang and went east to Jiangxia County this afternoon, and he went to see Yuan Shu alone.

This person is Li Ye. Yuan Shu called him to see him.

When they got to the hall, Li Ye waited for a long time, and Yuan Shu came.

Li Ye bowed below, and Yuan Shu called him to get up. Accompanied by **** Zhao, Yuan Shu went to the master's seat and ordered Li Ye to take his seat as well. After the maid brought soup, dried fruits and other items, Yuan Shu asked Li Ye and said, "Didn't you feel the cold a while ago? Today? It's not a high day, and the weather is getting colder and colder, why did you come to me to do something when you were not resting warmly at home?"

The weather was suddenly cold, and Li Ye was affected by the temperature, and he had a cold and fever two days ago.

Judging from his current state, it is indeed not very good, his face is morbidly red, and he coughs twice.

Li Ye sighed.

Yuan Shu was puzzled and asked, "Ziwu, why are you sighing? But is there anything that makes you embarrassed?"

Li Ye replied respectfully: "Returning to Duke Ming, although the subordinates have not been able to see Duke Ming and listen to Duke Ming's beautiful voice for two days because of the cold, but for some reason, I miss Duke Ming very much! Last night! , the subordinate also dreamed of Duke Ming!"

"Dream me? What did I dream about?"

Li Yeshen said mysteriously: "Last night, the servant suddenly saw golden light shining in all directions, dazzling people's eyes. After a while, the golden light dissipated, and a broad avenue appeared in front, and at the end of the avenue, there was a dragon circling. The dragon is also, The coercion is far and near, and its potential is also, connecting the world." Twisting his beard and raising his face, Li Ye seemed to be caught in a memory.

"and then?"

Li Ye came back to his senses, and then said: "The lower official couldn't help himself, he bowed down to him, and suddenly a thunderclap sounded like a spring thunder, as if there was a sound of emptiness in a trance, resounding throughout the world! After hearing that sound, I managed to calm my mind, and when I heard it carefully, I heard it said, 'The generation of Han people should be Tu Gao/ye'."

Yuan Shu was so fascinated by this that he forgot to drink the soup he was holding in his hand, and said, "Is that what you said?"

Li Ye said: "The official is anxious to look at the dragon at the end of the long road... Duke Ming, the dragon is gone."

"Gone?"

Li Ye said, "The officer sees that at the end of the road is no longer a dragon, but Duke Ming!" After speaking, he got up and bowed down, and continued, "It is Duke Ming's majestic and kind face, and Duke Ming is tall and solemn. The appearance of the Duke Ming, wearing a tiara with a crown, wearing a jade belt and wearing a golden sword! The hearts of the officials were ecstatic, at that time, the Duke of Ming was like a child looking at the father! I couldn't help it, so I bowed three times and kowtowed nine times. But... …”

"but?"

Li Ye said: "But after the servants bowed and kowtowed, they got up their courage. When they went to look again, Ming Gong had disappeared, but the road was straight, running into the thick clouds and mist, and there was no end!" He sighed and said, "Duke Ming, the servant woke up after that, knowing it was just a dream."

"What did you dream of..." Yuan Shu was surprised and delighted, not knowing how to evaluate it, and after a while he said, "Interesting!" He asked Eunuch Zhao, "What do you think?"

Even an idiot could hear the meaning of Li Ye's dream. Eunuch Zhao's heart was beating like thunder, his legs were soft as a sieve, and he was sweating profusely in the cold day. He asked Yuan Shu to ask, and bowed down to the ground, his voice trembling, and said. : "If you go back to the master, it's interesting, interesting!"

"Ming Gong..."

Yuan Shu raised his hand to stop Li Ye, and looked outside. There were many slaves and maids outside, but there were many people. He said, "Ziwu, you don't need to talk about this dream for now."

Li Ye didn't come here just to talk about his dream, or in other words, his dream was just an introduction to what he came to see Yuan Shu today. Seeing that Yuan Shu didn't let him talk more, he didn't talk any more. It's enough to click on it, he said: "Yes, Duke Ming. But because of this, Karma misses Duke Ming more and more. Seeing that the weather is good today, I came to Duke Ming's mansion to see Duke Ming."

This dream of Li Ye made Yuan Shu feel happy. He smiled and said, "I'm not a beauty, what do you want me to do?"

Li Yezheng replied: "If you look like a beautiful woman, where can you not see it? However, if the Duke of Ming is charming and ambitious, but the world is so big, only Duke Ming is the only one, this may be what the ancients called "one" The sun does not disappear, like every three autumns'."

Yuan Shu laughed even more.

Li Ye said: "Speaking of beauty, Duke Ming, a few days ago, Duke Ming ordered Ye to investigate who the beautiful woman was, and Ye has already found out. Her surname is Chen, and she is a native of Pingyu. Later, to avoid the chaos of war, because of entering Nanyang."

Yuan Shu immediately became very interested and said, "Did you investigate so quickly?"

Li Ye said: "This is an order issued by Duke Ming himself, how can Ye dare not work hard? And I told Duke Ming that Ye did personally go to her house, tested her father's intentions, and heard that her daughter had entered Duke Ming's house. Eyes, his father is very flattered, if Duke Ming still cares about this girl now, Karma is willing to go to her home again for Duke Ming, and good things will surely come true."

Yuan Shu stroked his beard under his chin, very satisfied, and said with a smile, "Okay, okay, then Lao Qing will go to her house for me again!"

But half a month ago, Yuan Shu was bored in the mansion, so he went out for a parade. In the crowd of people on the street, he saw a beautiful woman, and he was immediately attracted by a magnet. Li Ye found out. So, Li Ye asked Yuan Shu privately what he meant, knowing that Yuan Shu had taken a fancy to the woman, so he volunteered and went to find out the name and origin of the woman for Yuan Shu. He was really quick in his work, even though he contracted the cold afterward, it took only seven or eight days to find out.

As mentioned above, the twin girls were given to Yuan Shu by Li Ye. The night before yesterday, Yuan Shu was drunk and Yuan Shu did nothing. But he didn't drink last night, but he was really satisfied once, so he laughed and talked with him. Li Ye said: "Ziwu, let's not talk about this Chen family girl, the pair of Wang family sisters you gave to me is really wonderful! Tell me, what reward do you want? I will give it to you!"

"The Duke of Ming is the lord of our class, and he is the shelter of our more than one million people in Nanyang. All military and political affairs, large and small, must be decided by the public. For this reason, Duke Ming works day and night. Every time the officials say this, they do everything Duke Ming feels distressed. As long as the pair of sisters can explain a little bit of Duke Ming's labor, Karma's wish will be fulfilled! Dedicating the sister to Duke Ming is a piece of loyalty to Duke Ming, not a reward from Duke Ming."

Yuan Shu and Zhao Eunuch said, "Have I always told you that among the scholars in my house, only Ziwu is the most loyal and considerate to me? Look, look, am I right?"

Eunuch Zhao was also dedicated to Yuan Shu by Li Ye. His emotions were still fluctuating, and he replied in a trembling voice: "Yes, yes, Duke Ming is right! Duke Li's sincerity and loyalty to Duke Ming is unparalleled."

"Can't you make it too?"

"..., the villain is a waste, how dare to compare with Li Gong!"

"Haha, haha, why are you still kneeling? Get up!"

Eunuch Zhao got up from the ground and tried his best to keep his legs from shaking so much. Fortunately, Yuan Shu didn't notice this at all.

Yuan Shu and Li Ye joked a few more times, and Li Ye got to the point and talked about the reason why he asked to see Yuan Shu today.

He asked Yuan Shu, and said, "Duke Ming, Ye heard that Yang Hong, the chief historian, went to Jiangxia County this morning?"

Yuan Shu nodded and said, "That's right. Deye asked me to see me yesterday and told me two things, so I asked him to go to Jiangxia County on my behalf."

Although Li Ye was favored by Yuan Shu, in terms of the honor and inferiority of the officials in Yuan Shu's mansion, Yang Hong, as the chief historian, was the leader of the officials. Li Ye is so flattering to Yuan Shu, of course he is self-motivated. What he wants most now is to pull Yang Hong down from the position of Changshi and let him do it. are concerned. Therefore, Yang Hong only left Wan County in the morning, and he got the news in the afternoon. After listening to Yuan Shu's answer, Li Ye said: "Ye is presumptuous, dare to ask Duke Ming, I don't know what Chang Shi asked Ye Ming about yesterday, and what did Duke Ming tell him, so Duke Ming ordered him to go to Jiangxia today? ... Ming Gong, did you send him to see Lu Bu?"

Yuan Shu nodded and said, "That's right, I asked him to meet Lu Bu on my behalf. Yesterday he begged me and told me two things. He guessed from an old friend's book that Xun Zhen had I may use Nanyang as an army, and this is also the case; another, is that Lu Bu actually decided to enter the court and participate in next year's Zhengdan court meeting!"

Even though it was the news he heard yesterday, Yuan Shu couldn't help but feel annoyed when he started talking about it.

Li Ye hurriedly comforted Yuan Shu and said, "Duke Ming, Lv Bu is short-sighted and stupid! It is unreasonable for him to have such a thought, but he hopes that Duke Ming will not have the same knowledge as him. , that's not worth it!"

Yuan Shu drank two sips of tea soup, his anger eased slightly, and then said: "In addition, Deye once again made this suggestion to me to transfer to Yangzhou." He settled on Li Ye and said, "You I won’t come today, but I plan to invite you to see you in the next two days and talk to you about it.”

When Yang Hong saw Yuan Shu yesterday, what he said to Yuan Shu, Li Ye actually already knew.

The source of his news was none other than Eunuch Zhao. Since Eunuch Zhao was dedicated to Yuan Shu by Li Ye, if there was any trouble around Yuan Shu, he would immediately report it to Li Ye in secret.

Therefore, Li Ye was mentally prepared for the few things that Yang Hong said to Yuan Shu yesterday. After hearing Yuan Shu's words, he had no trouble in his heart. According to the pre-conceived order of "what to say to Yuan Shu today",—— In Yuan Shu's words, "I want to talk to you about this matter", "this matter" obviously refers to Yang Hong's suggestion that Yuan Shu move to Yangzhou, but after Li Ye answered the "sound", he did not immediately express his opinion on the matter, but first "Xun Zhen may use Nanyang as a soldier," he said, "Ming Gong, Chang Shi is worried that Xun Zhenzhi may use Nanyang as a soldier. With his ignorance of industry, this is unfounded worry."

Yuan Shu said, "How do you say this?"

Li Ye said: "Ming Gong,

Ye thinks that Xun Zhenzhi may have the intention of plotting Nanyang, but when it comes to the specific use of troops, at least now, he is not capable of plotting Nanyang anyway! There are two reasons why he can't plot Nanyang now. "

Yuan Shu asked Li Ye and said, "What are the two reasons?"

Li Ye said: "Xun Zhen has always been an official in the prefecture and county, and he has never served in the court. He has no foundation in the court. It took only a few days for the sage and the court to move to Xuxian. In such a short time, I am afraid that He didn't even have time to gain a firm foothold in the court, so how could he have the spare energy to seek my Nanyang? This is impossible. Chang Shi has old friends in the court, and Duke Ming has more old friends in the court, and he is a subordinate. There are also one or two old friends in the court. Since the emperor and the court moved to Xu County, the subordinate officials have also got in touch with their old friends in the court. Over the past few months, there have been many letters and old friends of the subordinate officials. When referring to Xun Zhen in his book, he usually focuses on two points. One is for him, and he is devoted to the two government affairs of Tuen Tian and next year's Zhengdan celebration; the other is Taiwei Yang Biao and Concubine Dong Gui. His father, Dong Cheng and others, became more and more dissatisfied with Xun Zhen and became more and more hostile to him. All in all, it was still the same as those who had submitted to the Duke of Ming before. Xun Zhen is still in the court now, and his foothold is still stable, and his energy is full of energy. How could he possibly have a spare force to invade Nanyang during the field and the great court meeting? According to what Chang Shi said, it is unfounded. Dare to ask Ming Gong, but what is the meaning of these words to Chang Shi?"

Yuan Shu prepared him to accept Yang Hong's suggestion, and asked Guo Si and Zhang Xun to enter the colony to the north and south borders of Nanyang County, as a precautionary plan, and talked to Li Ye again.

Li Ye frowned slightly and said, "Ming Palace, in Ye's humble opinion, since it is impossible for Xun Zhen to enter Kou Nanyang now, it seems that there is no need for Guo Si to enter the northern boundary of Nanyang County."

Yuan Shu knew why Li Ye would object to transferring Guo Si to the north of Nanyang County, stroked his beard, smiled with Li Ye, and said, "You are worried because of this, if Guo Si was transferred to the north of Nanyang County, you would suggest me to the west. Taking this policy in Guanzhong will be affected.”

Li Ye really had this thought, and he was not embarrassed when Yuan Shu broke it. He said, "Ming Gong is wise! Ye really has this concern."

However, in order to gain Yuan Shu's real use and become Yuan Shu's indispensable mastermind, it is obviously not enough to just boast and beat the horse, and he has to offer Yuan Shu a useful strategy that can open up territory and develop his power for Yuan Shu. Just like Yang Hong, he presented Yuan Shu with this development strategy that he could turn to Yangzhou. After thinking hard, Li Yeyu, in view of the current situation Yuan Shu was facing and some of the subsequent changes in the overall situation of the country caused by Xun Zhenqin and Wang's success in welcoming Liu Xie and the imperial court to Xu County, really gave him an idea. He came up with a strategy that "can break the game" and at the same time "help Yuan Shu to further develop and achieve a great cause".

This strategy of his is exactly the opposite of Yang Hong's proposal to march eastward and "turn to Yangzhou".

It was he who suggested that Yuan Shu could send troops westward and develop towards Guanzhong.

When presenting this proposal to Yuan Shu, he and Yuan Shu said: "Duke Ming, compared with 'East map Yangzhou', Ye Yu thought it was 'West to take Guanzhong', which is more beneficial to Duke Ming! Pass, you can enter the pass. Although Xun Zhen has troops stationed in the north of Hongnong County, it is beyond the reach of the whip. As long as our army moves fast, it will be difficult to obstruct and the road will be smooth. This is one of the benefits. Xuxian, as well as Li Jue's defeat and Guo Si's entrustment to Duke Ming, Chang'an is now at the time of emptiness. At this time of emptiness, taking Chang'an is as easy as the palm of your hand. This is the second benefit. Those who can compete with Duke Ming~www.wuxiaspot.com~ When Duke Ming arrives, everyone will come to vote. Even if there are those who dare not obey, Guo Si is brave, and he is familiar with the situation in Guanzhong and Chang'an. If he is the vanguard, he will be defeated. The third is this benefit.”

——Because when Li Ye conceived this strategy, it was after Yuan Shu told him that Yang Hong proposed to "map Yangzhou in the East", so when he proposed the strategy, he compared his own strategy with Yang Hong's strategy. words.

Not to mention, compared to the many difficulties that Yang Hong's strategy of "transferring to Yangzhou" may encounter, Li Ye's "entering the customs in the west and occupying Chang'an" seems to be much easier by comparison, and the future is promising. Brighter and bigger.

Originally, Yuan Shu was not very interested in Yang Hong's proposal, but after hearing about Li Ye's proposal, he was even less interested in Yang Hong's proposal. It was also because of this that yesterday he heard that Yang Hong offered him another proposal. At the time of this policy, Wang Gu was at his control and refused to talk to him about this.

At this time, Li Ye said in the hall: "Duke Ming, if you want to enter the customs in the west, Guo Si is an indispensable part. Because of his business, he does not dare to hide it. It is true that Duke Ming wants to transfer Guo Si to the north of Nanyang County. Disagree."

——First to dispel Yuan Shu's concerns about Xun Zhen's use of troops in Nanyang, and then again put forward his proposal to "take Guanzhong from the west". This is the order in which Li Ye thought about the content of his words to Yuan Shu today. He once again proposed his plan to Yuan Shu, and he also answered Yuan Shu's question, "What do you think about Yang Hong's second proposal to take Yangzhou from the east?"

Yuan Shu pondered and said: "Sub-wu, after your minister proposed to me the plan of 'taking Guanzhong from the west', I thought about it over and over again..."

Li Ye raised his spirits and asked Yuan Shu: "Ye dared to ask Ming Gong, I wonder if Ming Gong has made up his mind now?"
