"Ma Chao." In Chengming Palace, Liu Xie looked at the drizzle outside the window and nodded, "I heard that this person has a lot of prestige among the Qiang tribes, so maybe he will subdue him?"

"It's not difficult." After thinking about it, Guo Jia smiled and said, "Since he is a rebellious person, then he will destroy his arrogance."

Liu Xie couldn't help laughing when he heard this. If he were ordinary princes, he really didn't have the confidence. Even if Ma Chao had not yet grown to the peak, he would definitely be a top-notch general. It was easy to defeat him, but it would be difficult to convince him if he was defeated. However, what Liu Xie had most lacked is a fierce general.

Not to mention Lu Bu, Huang Zhong, Zhao Yun is enough to defeat Ma Chao today, Taishi Ci is not bad, and even Gan Ning may not be very strong in the land battle, but Ma Chao may not be able to do anything to him at this time. If Lu Bu takes action, he will be a bit bullying.

"But this matter should not be too urgent." Jia Xu bowed and said, "It should be performed after the autumn harvest, just in case."

It is only April. Although the court does not need to spend too much effort according to Guo Jia's plan, it is said that it is a paper talk and really takes action. It is difficult to explain clearly what happens. If it is launched at this time, it will be useless to affect the court, and it will be of no use to the people's livelihood in Guanzhong. This is also the biggest difference between Jia Xu and Guo Jia. Guo Jia is young and talented, but he is inevitably radical in his actions. Jia Xu has experienced all kinds of things in the world. Although he is called a poisonous man, he actually seeks to be more stable in his actions.

When Guo Jia heard this, he also put away his slogans. Although he had differences with Jia Xu on his views on some things, both of them were wise men in the world. Guo Jia did not know less about the current situation in the court than Jia Xu.

Just like a person who has just recovered from a serious illness, although he has recovered, his body is too weak and he cannot bear any external evils at this time. No matter how good the plan is, it is not as realistic as the word "stable". However, the two of them have different attitudes in their affairs, which also makes it difficult for them to feel sympathy even though they can have a common topic.

Liu Xie felt that the most important thing was the age generation gap, and Guo Jia was still too young.

Of course, if this idea is expressed, it may make people laugh to death. Not to mention Jia Xu, even if you talk to Guo Jia, if you come to discuss the profound topic of age, Liu Xie really has no say now.

The drizzle outside the window was drizzling, and the emperor and his ministers were chatting in the hall, so they would not always discuss the government affairs. After all, those things are a little fearless and are not stupid. They just stop talking about the topic. Now the three of them have been deducing the development of Guanzhong until next year. If you say more, they will be a little too ambitious. For more, let’s talk about some interesting things that have happened in Chang'an recently.

Zhong Yao's affairs seemed to be a node. As soon as Zhong Yao died, the entire Guanzhong began to follow Liu Xie's plan. Man Chong's Tingwei Mansion was getting busier and busier. Of course, this kind of place was definitely thankless. If there were no such figure as Man Chong, like the lonely star, there would probably be few people who would be willing to go to this place.

However, the concept of rule of law has gradually become deeply rooted in people's hearts. Of course, there were also those in the past. After all, the Han Dynasty's national destiny could last for more than 400 years. Most of the Han laws originated from Qin laws, but only learned the lessons of the death of the Qin Dynasty. Han laws are more humane than Qin laws. If they can be persisted, there will be no more troubled times in the present. Many times, when a dynasty is destruction, the first sign is the collapse of the law and discipline.

The purpose of Liu Xie's recruitment of Fayan was to make certain modifications based on the Han laws, rather than to directly bring the laws of later generations. In this way, Liu Xie might do better by himself, but it is not that the more advanced things, the better. Laws still originate from social needs, rather than taking it for granted. If the laws of later generations are copied to the present, they may have a counterproductive effect. If you take too much steps, the final result will be torn.

The three of them were chatting in the hall. In the rain, Wei Zhong hurried in from outside with an umbrella. It seemed that there was something urgent.

"I have met Your Majesty and Two Sirs." Wei Zhong handed the umbrella to the guards outside the door, came to the hall, and saluted the three of them separately.

"What's the matter?" Liu Xie sat on the chair and looked at Wei Zhong and said with a smile. He was in a good mood recently and would like everyone else.

"Return to Your Majesty, urgent reports came from Guandong." Wei Zhong took out a roll of bamboo paper hidden in his sleeve and handed it to Liu Xiedao.

"Oh?" Liu Xie took the bamboo note and asked casually: "The princes of Guandong, is there any big news?"

"I don't know." Wei Zhong smiled bitterly. He didn't dare to read this urgent secret letter without authorization. Liu Xie was very strict about the rules in this regard. Even if he was close, the rules should not be messed up. Once a person loses the rules, he will easily have some thoughts that should not have. Liu Xie did not want to cultivate a nine thousand-year-old like Wei Zhongxian.

"Well" spread the bamboo paper, Liu Xie's brows gradually frowned. After a while, Liu Xie handed the bamboo paper to Jia Xu who was attacking: "What do you think of Tao Qian's letter of help?"

In early April, Cao Cao's father Cao Song wanted to return to Yanzhou, but was intercepted and killed by Tao Qian halfway. After Cao Cao learned about the incident, he fainted on the spot. After waking up the next day, he mobilized his troops and prepared to invade Xuzhou, kill Tao Qian and avenge his father.

Liu Xie remembers that in the Romance of the Romance, Cao Cao's father was a general under Tao Qian, who killed him because he was greedy for Cao Song's gold and silver. But when it came to this era, Liu Xie realized that it was not the case at all.

After Cao Cao's strength increased sharply after obtaining the 300,000 Yellow Turbans in Qingzhou, his tentacles had extended to the border of Xuzhou. Before that, there was constant friction with Tao Qian. Although the war had not begun, the friction between small troops basically occurred every day. Because of problems such as territory and water sources, Cao Cao was jealous of Xuzhou's wealth, and Tao Qian might not have the intention to annex Cao Cao.

In the killing of Cao Song, Tao Qian was helped to cleanse Tao Qian in the Romance of the Romance, but in fact, it was actually Tao Qian who was in the fault. Cao Cao avenged his father and attacked Xuzhou. In theory, there was no problem. Before Tao Qian sent a letter of help, he had had several confrontations with Cao Cao.

However, although Tao Qian had many soldiers and a lot of food, there was no capable general. He was not the opponent of a group of tiger and wolf generals under Cao Cao. He was defeated almost every battle. He had no choice but to rely on the city defense and sent a letter of help to the princes from all directions.

Not only the court, but also the Gongsun Zan, Kong Rong, Tian Kai, Yuan Shu, and Tao Qian had issued an emergency document wherever he could ask. On the court, it was probably Tao Qian who was sent to the doctor in an emergency. No matter how he looked at it, the court now had no reason to help him.

"Tao Gongzu did not occupy morality in this matter. Our Han Dynasty ruled the world with filial piety. Tao Gongzu killed his father and caused a dispute. Now he is no match for Cao Cao, but he wants to calm down the situation. It's really..." Jia Xu handed the bamboo slip to Guo Jia, shook his head and sneered. He really didn't really like Tao Qian's actions.

"Your Majesty is worried. If Cao Cao annexed Xuzhou, he will grow stronger?" Guo Jia raised his eyebrows, but he keenly captured the meaning of Liu Xie's words.

Jia Xu looked at Guo Jia unexpectedly. It was not that he was not as sharp as Guo Jia, but that after Liu Xie took power, he saw Guanzhong becoming more and more prosperous under the rule of Liu Xie, and there were top advisers like Guo Jia to provide advice. Li Ru was secretly helping him behind his back. He had lazy cancer attacks at heart. He either stayed at home or wandered outside all day. He was less concerned about the princes of the Central Plains. At this time, Guo Jia mentioned it and realized this problem.

Nodded, Liu Xie looked at the two and said, "Both are wise men in the world, and I don't know how to view this person."

Jia Xu shut up and said nothing. He always understood how he had the right to speak, but he was thinking silently in his heart. Now that Guanzhong has stabilized, Liu Xie's eyes have begun to focus on the world. It seems that he needs to pay serious attention to the princes in the world.

"I'm not hiding it to Your Majesty." Guo Jia threw the bamboo slips to Wei Zhong and looked at Liu Xie and said, "If His Majesty had not issued a general recruitment order, I would feel that Your Majesty was expected to revive the Han Dynasty, Jia might have been invited by his friend to go to Cao Mengde's command."

Liu Xie nodded without showing an unexpected look. In short, Hu, who had already intercepted many people, will be the generals of Jiangdong, Huang Zhong, Zhao Yun, and Cao Cao did not intercept any well-known generals, but only Guo Jia, in Liu Xie's view, the losses caused to Cao Cao are even above the top four.

"This person has great talent. When Xu Zi was about to judge the famous scholars in the world, he once said that he was a capable minister in governing the world and a hero in troubled times!" Seeing that Liu Xie had no unhappy expression, Guo Jia continued: "Although he is now dependent on Yuan Shao's command, he is a complimentary person, employs talents and rewards and punishments in many aspects, and has a lot of similarities with His Majesty's rule."

"I am very curious. Since Cao Cao has this ability and has friends to recommend him, why did he choose me for filial piety?" Liu Xie said with a smile.

"Your Majesty is younger than Cao Cao." Guo Jia said honestly: "And Your Majesty has taken over the righteousness. It is much easier to revive the Han Dynasty than Cao Cao."

Well, Guo Jia will never admit that he came here just to investigate, but was attracted by Liu Xie's hero wine and eventually sold himself for the wine.

"Why do I think Fengxiao came because of the hero wine?" Liu Xie rolled his eyes speechlessly at the wine gourd that was subconsciously held tightly by Guo Jia.

Anyway, I am already my own person, and it doesn’t matter what I thought back then.

After joking, Liu Xie re-entered Lou Yinzheng, who was gradually distorted, and came to a huge sheepskin map in the study, frowned and said, "Xuzhou is a wealthy state with a large population and abundant money and food. If Cao Cao got Xuzhou, his situation would probably be alongside the two Yuans. After this battle, the situation in the Central Plains will gradually become clear. The two Yuans and Cao Cao divided the Central Plains into three parts, which is not a good thing for the court."

"However, it's beyond reach." Guo Jia sighed. The more the princes of the Central Plains annexed and grew, it would be more difficult to recover the Central Plains in the future. However, at present, the court does not have the ability to intervene, and at most they can only help one in the righteousness. However, this time Cao Cao had sufficient reasons. Even if the court wanted to help Tao Qian, it would not be too obvious.

"If Cao Cao wanted Xuzhou, Yuan Shu might not be willing." Jia Xu smiled and said, "Your Majesty might as well watch the changes. I think that Cao Cao defeated Tao Qianyi this time, but it may not be easy if he wants to occupy Xuzhou."
