    At the end of August, the autumn harvest was completed, and the grain taxes from the five states of Henan, Yanqing, and Xu Yang, which were in the war zone, were not sent to the Situ Mansion. They were immediately sent to the nearby military camp and handed over to General Xu Huang for deployment.  After receiving the grain tax, Xu Huang immediately ordered and launched the final blow against Yuan Shu.  For a time, the war between the Jianghuai River and the Huaihe River broke out again, and there was no day without fighting.  Yuan Shu was surrounded by enemies on all sides and was in dire straits.  He asked Yuan Shao for help, but Yuan Shao was unable to do anything.  On the contrary, he also faced the danger of being under siege.  Guan Hai, the Yellow Turban commander in Qingzhou, openly crossed the Yellow River and entered Qinghe County.  Yang Feng, the general of Zhenbei, led the army into Feihu Road and advanced to the northwest of Jizhou.  Zhong Yao, the governor of Youzhou, and Gongsun Zan, the general of the Liao Dynasty, stationed troops in Yi County, watching with eager eyes, ready to attack Jizhou again at any time.  Yuan Shao is unable to protect himself. If he is faced with a powerful enemy, he will not have the energy to rescue Yuan Shu.  Isolated and helpless, Yuan Shu lost consecutive battles and retreated eastward. In mid-September, he was surrounded by a 50,000-strong army led by Xu Huang near the Gaixia Ancient Battlefield in the east of Peiguo.  Yuan Shu did not have Xiang Yu's bravery, and was unable to stage the classic scene of the twenty-eight cavalry breaking out, and was surrounded and annihilated at Gaixia.  Yuan Shu knew that there was no way to survive, so he refused Qiao Rui and others' persuasion to surrender and committed suicide.  Thirty thousand troops surrendered and Jianghuai was pacified.  When the news reached Luoyang, Luoyang was immediately abuzz.  Some people are overjoyed that the court's counterinsurgency war is progressing smoothly. The end of the war means that peace is coming.  After several years of war, people began to miss the peaceful times again. Even if it is not a prosperous time, it is still better than war.  Revolution requires bloodshed. The cost of this method is too high, but only a small number of people benefit.  Compared with this violent approach, the reforms implemented by the emperor were obviously more moderate.  Under the control of this kind of thinking, the virtuous literature and political discussions that were originally just for the occasion gained a bit more practical significance.  Some people are worried about their families.  Most of these people are from Shandong. They may not have participated in the Yuan family's rebellion, but their families are inextricably linked to the Yuan family, and many of their clan members directly participated in the rebellion.  The Yuan family was defeated.  They must be implicated.  For them, on the one hand, they were glad that they had left that place of right and wrong before the fall of the Yuan family; on the other hand, they were lamenting that the Confucian sect was closest to success because of the emergence of a true dragon.  failed.  For these Confucian supporters, this is obviously bad news.  ¡­¡­ In Situ Mansion, Yang Biao was exhausted.  The progress of the Jianghuai war was so smooth that he couldn't believe it.  The ensuing public controversy also caught him off guard.  One after another people came to visit, which made him tired to cope with it.  He is now very worried. If Xu Huang takes advantage of the victory to pursue, defeat Yuan Shao, and achieve a decisive victory, then a lot of things will follow that will keep him, Situ You, busy.  Xun Yu hurried in.  Like Yang Biao, his eyes were bloodshot, but his eyes were still clear and he was in good spirits.  Yang Biao was a little surprised: "Wen Ruo. Look at you like this" Xun Yu smiled: "Yes, I have started practicing again." "Really?" Yang Biao was surprised and happy.  Xun Yu's Dantian was destroyed. It stands to reason that there is no hope of practicing in this life. How can he start practicing again?  "Have you had any adventures?" "I can't talk about adventures. Maybe it's hope after despair." Xun Yu sighed softly, filled with emotion.  "In the past, I only wanted to improve my realm, but in the end, I have nothing to hope for. Now I have no hope. Instead, I can calmly experience the joy of sitting and forgetting. Unknowingly, the destroyed Qihai has been restored, and even I didn't realize it.  "Yang Biao stroked his beard, pondered for a moment, and suddenly said: "I understand. This is what is called doing nothing." Xun Yu smiled and nodded: "As Mr. Yang said, you also practice.  What a talent." "Haha, no. I can't bear it." Yang Biao laughed and pointed at the pile of documents.  "Situ's Mansion is not a place for cultivation. The emperor can rule by doing nothing, but the three princes cannot rule by doing nothing. The reason why Cao Shen can drink fine wine every day is because Xiao He follows the rules. I don't have such a good opportunity. On the contrary, I want to overthrow  There are many rules, and it is impossible to establish a new set of rules without doing anything." Xun Yu nodded in agreement.  As Yang Biao said, Liu Bian also advocated ruling by doing nothing and ruling the world with an arch, but that was only for the emperor, it was the way of the emperor, the way of the king, not the way of ministers.  On the contrary, he attached great importance to the merit examination of his ministers, and even encouraged some thorns to jump out and criticize the ministers.  Mi Heng, that loudmouth, had a conflict with Situ Mansion and Tingwei Temple on how to deal with the rebellious family in Yizhou, which caused Yang Biao and Liu Yu a headache.  The matter was reported to Liu Bian, but Liu Bian did not give any advice. He just asked the three ministers and nine ministers to discuss the affairs. If they could not make a decision, they would discuss it at the court meeting.  Xun Yu now understood that in addition to retaining military power, Liu Bian was determined to delegate most of his power to the three parties.?, he is determined to treat it from the bottom of his head.  This was of course the result Xun Yu hoped to see, but he was as tired as a dog because of it.  If it weren't for the sudden progress in his practice and the increase in physical strength, he would be as tired as Yang Biao.  "By the way, what does Yang Gong think of the war in Shandong?" After a few gossips, Xun Yu immediately returned to the topic.  "Jianghuai has been pacified, and the war in Jizhou is imminent. Will Mr. Yang just watch Shandong suffer heavy losses?" Yang Biao heard the implication of Xun Yu's words.  "What does Wen Ruo mean?" "Shandong is the land of wealth for the Han Dynasty. It has been severely damaged by several years of war. If it is exploited by both warring parties again, the casualties will be too heavy and it will not be able to recover for several years. In case of another outbreak.  "But if there is no punishment for Shandong's rebellion, your Majesty will not be satisfied." "Of course there must be punishment, but it is not necessary to use these manpower and wealth in this way.  "Why don't you use it to conquer the outside world and expand the territory?" Yang Biao's eyes lit up: "You continue to talk." "Your Majesty intends to conquer the west, but he suffers from insufficient troops and taxes."  The aristocratic families and powerful people were exiled to Xiliang Village, which not only punished them, but also solved the problem of military strength and food. For them, they also had the opportunity to atone for their crimes and avoid taking risks.  They fought hard despite being trapped, increasing the casualties of the imperial army." Yang Biao clapped his hands and laughed.  "Wen Ruo, it is indeed a good idea. Let's do this. You will write a memorial and submit it to Your Majesty. I am willing to be the first to sign." Xun Yu breathed a sigh of relief and bowed to thank you. ?¡­ ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? establishing  Liu Bian looked at the timid Da Qiao and Xiao Qiao and cursed secretly.  Jia Xu, the old fox, is playing tricks on me.  These two little girls are only a few years old, how can they be used as cauldrons?  This is too beastly.  This is not a tripod, but two free mouths.  Yu Ji looked at Liu Bian calmly, taking in the look in Liu Bian's eyes. A strange color flashed across his eyes, and then he returned to calmness.  "Langya Yu Ji, I have met His Majesty." Liu Bian looked at Yu Ji and raised the corner of his mouth slightly: "Taoist Master, I have admired your name for a long time. When I meet you today, can I ask you a few very personal questions?" Yu Ji smiled: "A Taoist cultivator.  , It doesn't matter what is public or private." "Really? Do you want to live longer this year?" Yu Ji pondered for a moment: "If others ask, Pindao will just laugh it off, but they won't believe it.  When your Majesty asked, Pindao had to tell the truth. Pindao was born on the day when Emperor Guangwu ascended the throne, so Pindao was the same year as this dynasty. "Liu Bian was stunned.  Yu Ji looks about fifty or sixty years old. How come he is the same age as this dynasty, which means he is one hundred and sixty-six years old.  His eyes flashed and the corners of his mouth curled slightly: "Taoist Master is indeed a long-lived man. But how could you know that I would believe you? To be honest, I also find it a bit unbelievable." Yu Ji smiled.  "It seems that although your majesty is very wise, he is not as dedicated as Emperor Xiaowu. It is precisely because of this that Pindao has confidence in your majesty. In more than a hundred years, your majesty is the second person who can make Pindao have such confidence."  "Liu Bian bowed and said, "I'd like to hear the details." Yu Ji didn't answer and asked, "Don't you want to know who is the first?" Liu Bian blinked and said, "I think I should know who."  Is it the first one?" Yu Ji nodded and said nothing with a smile.  Liu Bian looked at him, eyebrows slightly raised, and after a moment, he chuckled softly: "Dongfang Shuo?" Yu Ji stroked his beard and smiled.  "Sure enough, your majesty's intuition has reached an unexpected level. The power of the dragon bloodline is best reflected in your majesty. Even if Dongfang Shuo is reborn, he may not be your majesty's opponent." Liu Bian smiled half-heartedly: "Then you  What?" "Not even for poor people." Yu Ji sighed and looked into the distance.  "Otherwise, Pindao wouldn't have wasted his efforts twice." Liu Bian followed Yu Ji's eyes and was surprised.  By the Kunming Pool, Liu Xie and Zhuge Liang were walking slowly. Behind them, Sun Ce and Ma Chao were stroking their sword rings and were getting together, not knowing what to say.  The two wasted efforts Yu Ji mentioned naturally refer to the failure of persuading Sun Jian and Sun Ce to separatize the southeast.  "Does the Taoist believe that the hope of Confucianism lies in the southeast?" "This is not a conjecture of the poor Taoist, but a prediction of heaven." Yu Ji was silent for a moment, and then sighed with regret.  "However, poor Taoist practice is limited, and he may have misunderstood the secret of heaven." "What kind of secret of heaven?" Yu Ji raised his head, looked at Liu Bian calmly, and said word by word: "A hundred years later, the crown of China will be in the southeast  ."HeAfter a pause, he added: "Your Majesty has the blood of the dragon system, and his intuition is extraordinary. His sense of heaven's secrets should be stronger than that of a poor man. I dare to ask your Majesty, do you think so too?" Liu Bian took a breath of air-conditioning and waited for a long time.  No words were spoken.  He looked at Yu Ji again, not hiding his surprise.  When Yu Ji persuaded Sun Jian to separatize the southeast, the Yuan family had just raised troops, and everyone in the world thought that Yuan Shao would invade Luoyang and Confucianism would dominate the world. However, Yu Ji said that China would soon lose its reputation in the Central Plains and retreat to the southeast, which was nothing more than idiotic talk.  But here¡¯s the weird thing, Liu Bian knew he was right.  A hundred years later, the Five Husties disrupted China and the Central Plains was lost. The Chinese clothes represented by the Eastern Jin Dynasty were settled in a corner of the southeast. It was not until Yang Jian established the Sui Dynasty a few hundred years later that the Chinese clothes were considered to have returned to the Central Plains.  (To be continued, please search Piaotian Literature, the novel will be better and updated faster!
