【Chapter 880】 Wolves grab food
In the summer of the world, a team of fast horses galloped like the wind and headed straight for Xiliang Camp.
The gate opened wide, and the pedestrians entered the camp until they rushed to the central army's tent and stopped.
"The lord has been traveling for days, and he will wait until the arrival of the carriage, and he still wants forgiveness."
In front of the stone steps of the big tent, Zhou Yu, Fa Zheng, Zhao Yun, Huang Zhong and others rushed over after hearing the news, and Zhou Yu led the way to worship.
"Gongjin doesn't need much politeness. All the generals stood up and followed me to the account to talk."
Li Li took a breath, wiped the hot sweat from his forehead, raised his hand to signal Zhou Yu and others not to be polite, and then took a big step up the stone steps and walked into the coach's tent.
After washing up for a while, Li Li changed into a thin brocade robe. He appeared in the big tent again, sat casually, and drank tea slowly to relieve the heat.
"Is this trip going smoothly? No one in Chang'an City troubled?" Everyone in the hall was all trusted generals under Li Li, so Zhou Yu asked directly without any scruples.
Li Li nodded slightly and sighed in a deep voice: "The two old generals returned to heaven, and the man lost the pillar of the sky. At this critical moment, the emperor and all officials disappeared, and life and death were unknown, and the situation in the world will undergo another tremendous change. The upcoming autumn is destined to be a troublesome autumn!"
Zhou Yu nodded and said with regret: "Huangfu Song and Zhu Jun are the only two famous generals in the world who have achieved success in our great Han Dynasty. Unexpectedly, the two veteran generals passed away one after another within half a month. It's a pity!"
After a pause, Zhou Yu said with a solemn expression: "For a long time in the future, the situation in the world will be turbulent, turbulent and unpredictable. At this time of turbulence, we should take steady steps and take every step. We must not act too quickly, so as not to make a mistake in one step and miss a good situation. I wonder what the lord wants?"
"Yes." Li Li responded casually, squinted his eyes and looked at Zhou Yu for a moment, nodding thoughtfully: "What Gongjin said is exactly what I want. No matter how the situation in the world changes, our Xiliang Army or Xiliang Army will be as solid as a rock. There will be no turmoil. And I, Li Li, is still the general of the world's military and horses. This will not change for a long time in the future, and no one can shake it!"
Speaking of this, Li Li waved his hand and said, "Okay, let's talk about how the war is going. As for other things, soldiers come to block the water and come to the Tutou. My Li Li and the Xiliang army under my command are never afraid of challenges. No matter what opponent dares to provoke us, my Xiliang army will swear to crush it."
Li Li's loud words were stirring in the coach's tent, which was exciting and excited.
In the hall, Zhou Yu and Fa Zheng looked at each other, looked at each other, nodded, and then nodded to the generals beside them. Then everyone stood up and knelt down and said, "Lord is wise. It is a blessing for us, and it is a blessing for millions of people in Xiliang!"
This worship is by no means accidental. It is the result of the careful consideration of the civil and military officials in Xiliang in recent times, and it is also their voice.
Since the emperor and the officials in the court fled Chang'an, the western capital Chang'an has been in name only. To this day, the emperor Liu Xie and the old ministers of the three dynasties in the court have become stumbling blocks in front of Li Li and the civil and military officials of the Xiliang. The three dukes, nine ministers and subordinates in the court have only so many positions, and they are all controlled by the old ministers in the court. If they occupy the court and occupy the pit and do not poop, the civil and military officials of the Xiliang will find it difficult to enter the court. They can't all be dismissed, right? At the same time, if they are all removed openly, they will be cursed by the people of the world and leave a reputation for eternity. If they are allowed to develop, it will cause great obstacles to the subsequent development of Xiliang and forcibly suppress the promotion of the civil and military officials of the Xiliang.
Therefore, when the Xiliang army crushed the large-scale siege of the Central Plains Alliance and won the Sili victory, the power struggle between the civil and military officials in the Xiliang Dynasty and the officials in the court became increasingly prominent, and the contradictions became increasingly intensified. This made the city of Chang'an storm, the situation was strange, and undercurrents were surging. Many Xiliang generals and civil officials had some small words about this, but they did not dare to mention it in front of Li Li, and they dared not speak out.
This can be seen from the official ranks of the main civil officials and military generals under Li Li's reward. A large number of humble ministers such as Li Xuan, Jia Xu, Li Ru, Guo Jia and Zhou Yu, as well as major generals such as Li Xian, Teng Xiao, Dian Wei, Huan Fei, Xu Rong, Bo Cai and Ma Chao. They all have the same rank as the nine ministers (salaries), but they do not have actual positions as the nine ministers or above, and can only serve as the Jingzhao Yin or the governor of the state. In this regard, they are all Li Li's confidants, so they naturally will not complain, but it doesn't matter if they are suppressed. What's important is that the subordinates under their jurisdiction do not have such treatment, and their official positions and salary cannot be raised. In this way, if these subordinates do not have any complaints, they are undoubtedly deceiving themselves.
Officials, whether they are honest or glorious, they cannot escape the word "fame and fortune". They do not make money, but seek profit. There are not many officials who do not seek fame or profit, but they are rare and very few. Looking at the five thousand years of history of China, fame and fortune have been throughout history and have never changed. This is due to human nature, which is the case for predecessors and later generations.
In the chaotic times, it is more realistic for officials to be officials, some people who have won their wives and children, some people who have made a name for themselves, and many people who have gained glory and wealth, and there are many people who have tried to change their destiny. Therefore, when Li Li was the most powerful minister, the civil and military officials who followed him to conquer the world naturally had their own expectations. However, the existence of civil and military officials in the court blocked their path to promotion, and blocking the future of others was nothing more than a great hatred of life and death, and they were irreconcilable. This contradiction cannot be reconciled and must be a desperate struggle that will be defeated by the death.
As the commander of Xiliang, Li Li naturally knew this and then tried his best to plan a solution. If he could not even think of this, then he would be the commander and would sooner or later be replaced.
So, not long after, the emperor and all officials fled Chang'an, trying to completely get rid of Li Li's control, revive the Han Dynasty, and build the Han Empire again. As soon as the emperor and all officials escaped from the cage, although Li Li strictly ordered the entire Xiliang blockade and no one could disclose it, the news spread quickly among the civil and military officials of Xiliang. Therefore, the emperor and all officials left, and then many Xiliang officials jointly submitted a letter to persuade Li Li to change the era and establish the country and ascend the supreme. If the persuasion is successful, the Xiliang officials will immediately rise and the day of the promotion will be in front of you.
Is the temptation to rule the world great? This is self-evident. At that time, only the Sanfu of Jingzhao and Sili under Dong Zhuo ruled, so he thought about ascending the throne, becoming the supreme, and dominating the world all day long. For this reason, Dong Zhuo took his life and became a traitor with a different body. Notoriously, he was despised by the world. Now Li Li has a territory and strength several times that of Dong Zhuo in the past, and is the most deserving prince in the world. In this way, he has the strength to rule the world and will not repeat the mistakes of Dong Zhuo. From this, it can be seen that the joint attempt of many subordinates in Xiliang was not impulsive or nonsense, but adapting to the current situation. Following the current situation, the possibility of success in one fell swoop is extremely high.
As the undercurrent of persuading to advance became more and more fierce, Li Li's confidant generals and advisers became increasingly uneasy. Emperor Liu Xie was not dead yet. He was eager to persuade him to advance. Such a quick success and instant benefits were not a good strategy for old-fashioned planning. Therefore, they were mixed with emotion, deeply felt that the time was not yet ripe, and they were afraid that the lord Li Li would not be able to withstand the huge temptation of dominating the world. They agreed to the joint request of many subordinates to openly change the reign to establish the country and ascend to the throne to emperor. That would be a big deal.
Then they sent a quick horse to Yangpingguan Camp, and handed them to Zhou Yu, Fa Zheng, Zhao Yun, Huang Zhong, Ma Chao and others. The letter explained the tremendousness: If the situation is strange and unpredictable today, who dares to be the first to become the king and dominate. Those who will definitely become the target of public criticism will attack them and be destroyed. For this reason, they entrusted Zhou Yu, Fa Zheng, Zhao Yun and other close generals to advise the lord Li Li to put the overall situation first and maintain stability as the top priority. Xu aims to make progress and consolidate the foundation. He must not advance easily, otherwise the good situation in Xiliang will be destroyed.
The reason why Zhou Yu and Fa Zheng were entrusted to advise was that most of the Xiliang officials who jointly persuaded them to enter were Li Xuan, Jia Xu, Li Ru and Guo Jia, and others, which made it inconvenient for them to go to Yangpingguan Camp to meet Li Li. After all, such bad people's future is extremely hated. If these officials knew that their immediate superiors had ruined their promotion path, how could they work together in the future?
However, if Zhou Yu, Fa Zheng and others advise, it will not attract jealousy, because since ancient times, there have been the sayings of "three advances and three words". Therefore, Zhou Yu, Fa Zheng and others advise are part-time affairs, and it is not an exaggeration to do so.
However, Li Li made a loud and loud expression of his attitude blocked the way to persuade officials to enter. Since then, no one dared to persuade officials to enter easily for a long time.
——————————————————
With the generals leaving one after another, only Zhou Yu, Fa Zheng, Pei Qian, Li Zhi and Li Li were left in the tent.
He got up and walked to the hall to sit with Zhou Yu and others. Li Li had a faint smile on his face and asked Fa Zheng: "How is the progress of what Xiaozhi is planning?"
Fa Zheng showed a sure smile on his face when he heard this and said respectfully: "Everything goes well. According to time, the result should be announced in these two days."
"That's great." Li Li smiled and nodded, and said frankly: "The time is tight. The battle in Hanzhong has been four months. It cannot be delayed anymore. We must fight quickly. To be honest, according to the scheduled time, the emperor and all officials will escape from the boundaries of our Xiliang army in a month, that is, when autumn begins, and return to Luoyang. At that time, the emperor will issue an edict to serve the king, summon all the princes to gather together in Luoyang, and attempt to wipe out us. However, after the defeat of the Central Plains Alliance in the previous period, all the princes should not respond to the emperor's orders and dare not openly become enemies with Li Li.
In contrast, they were more interested in the emperor, and they were determined to win and were ambitious. After all, the emperor played a huge power under our control, raising millions of money, grain and supplies for our Xiliang army, driving all the princes in the world to run for life. Seeing this, they all experienced the great role of the emperor and the officials, and would never give up easily. How could we miss such an unprecedented event that has not been seen in a century? We must mix it up anyway, and we must make the muddy waters turbid. Only in this way can we catch fish in the muddy waters, otherwise the princes in the world will stare at our Xiliang army all day long. What else can we do?"
Zhou Yu, Fa Zheng and Pei Qian were stunned and dumbfounded. Then Zhou Yu sincerely exclaimed: "This is the real bait to catch golden ash. The emperor and all officials will mobilize all the princes. The group of wolves seized food will inevitably trigger a big melee. The lord's move is really wise, and he will eventually accept it!"
