Xiao Huangmen knelt on the ground and said in a trembling voice: "It's the fast horse messenger from You Fufeng."
After Liu Bian was shocked, he quickly calmed down, his thoughts whirled, and he said: "Let people take good care of the messenger."
"Yes." Xiao Huangmen responded, got up and exited.
Liu Bian sat down slowly without panicking, feeling that something was wrong.
Two years ago, the official army of the Han Dynasty repulsed the Qiang people's siege of Yong County, which directly caused heavy losses to the Qiang people. Later, they were severely divided. The Qiang people had withdrawn from the Sanfu and were in a shrinking state.
'Why did he suddenly appear in Sanfu without any prior notice? '
Liu Bian sat on the chair, his eyes slightly narrowed, and he kept thinking in his mind.
The three auxiliaries, namely Jingzhao Yin, You Fufeng and Zuo Fengyi, are a barrier to protect Luoyang. Among them, Chang'an is under Jingzhao Yin.
Liu Bian felt that there was something wrong with this. He pondered for a long time and said, "Pan Yin, block the news and send a decree to Huangfu Song to enter the palace. Then send a decree to Lu Zhi of Chang'an, ordering him to temporarily take charge of the third assistant."
"Yes." Pan Yin responded solemnly and trotted out.
Liu Bian frowned slightly, his face still thinking hard.
He has many problems now, one of which is that he does not have enough troops to deal with all kinds of chaos.
The soldiers and horses of the third auxiliary cannot be moved. The soldiers and horses of other places are not in the hands of the imperial court, but are controlled by powerful locals. They often require a lot of money and food, and they may not be able to mobilize them. Even if they are mobilized, they cannot be used as armies. Among them, There is a lot of filth.
Take Dong Zhuo for example. The reason why Liu Bian persisted in transferring him to Beijing was not only because he was worried about history repeating itself, but also because Liu Bian had no other way to deal with Dong Zhuo. Even if Dong Zhuo openly rebelled, the current court could only resist at most, but could not pacify him.
What's more, Bingzhou is bordered by the Qiang people, and the Yellow Turban rebellion is getting more intense.
Don't be tough on Dong Zhuo unless you have to.
Liu Bian had a headache when he thought about this. The time he needed most now happened to be endless inside and outside.
Liu Bian issued a blockade order, but the messenger shouted all the way, and the news still spread.
Not long after, there was panic and discussion everywhere in Luoyang city. Yuan Wei, Sangong, and Wang Yun hurried into the palace, one step ahead of Huangfu Song.
Five people stood not far from Liu Bian's desk. Except for Yuan Wei, whose expression remained unchanged, the others all looked solemn and worried.
Two years ago, the Qiang invaded Youfufeng and surrounded Yong County, which shocked the government and the public. The Han court tried their best to fight back, but it also severely damaged the vitality of the court.
Liu Bian sat on the chair, looking thoughtful and silent.
As a Taiwei, Liu Yu took a deep breath, raised his hand and said solemnly: "Your Majesty, I request an order to go to Jingzhao Yin to supervise the battle!"
Liu Bian glanced at him and continued to ponder.
"The captain of the Sili School and the leader of the Yanzhou Mu Huangfu Song have arrived." The small yellow door outside the door said loudly.
Liu Bian immediately sat up straighter and said, "Please come quickly."
Everyone turned around and saw Huangfu in official uniform, with a cold face and piercing eyes. He strode in, glanced at the others, saluted Liu Bian and said, "Your Majesty, Huangfu Song."
"No gift!"
When Liu Bian saw him, he felt more confident and said, "The Qing family already knows the matter, what do the Qing family think?"
Huangfu Song's face remained calm and serious as he said: "Your Majesty, I have heard that I have some doubts about the sudden appearance of the Qiang people. However, since there is smoke, we should mobilize the troops of the three auxiliaries to meet the enemy."
Liu Bian said: "Well, I have ordered Lu Zhi to lead the three auxiliary troops, but are there any other countermeasures?"
Huangfu Song had already thought about it along the way, and immediately said: "Your Majesty, I think there is no need to panic for the time being. The last time the Qiang people were repulsed, divided into three, and attacked each other, they were no longer as good as before. We need to find out how this group It’s not too late to discuss the specific origin of the Qiang people.”
Liu Bian listened to Huangfu Song's words, and his frozen face slowly relaxed.
Liu Yu looked at Liu Bian and hesitated to speak.
In addition to the soldiers and horses in the three auxiliary areas, there is actually another one, and that is Dong Zhuo from Bingzhou!
But Dong Zhuo was a very sensitive person, and the imperial court had been wary of him for a long time and was unwilling to use him easily, especially at this special juncture when he was transferred to Beijing.
However, if the land of Sanfu is really dangerous, then there is no need to use it.
Liu Bian had a panoramic view of everyone's expressions, looked at Liu Yu's expression, and thought of this possibility.
His eyes narrowed slightly and his gaze fell on Yuan Wei.
This old guy lowered his head, his face was thin, and his face was calm, not showing any emotion.
Liu Bian quickly began to calculate in his mind that no matter where this Qiang people came from, it was almost impossible for him to transfer Dong Zhuo to Beijing now.
'Still no soldiers in hand! '
Liu Bian was secretly annoyed. If he had soldiers and horses at his disposal, he would not be so constrained.
The reason why he wants to lead two states by one person is actually out of necessity, because he needs people who know how to fight and defend the place, who can not only guard the place but also quell rebellions everywhere. The most important thing is to train soldiers and horses!
They have Huangfu Song, Lu Zhi, and Zhu Jun under their command. If the three of them have enough soldiers and horses, Dong Zhuo is nothing. They can kill him with just a raise of his hand!
Liu Bian woke up quickly. Seeing the solemn expressions of everyone, he suddenly laughed and said, "It's just a Qiang people. What do you have to worry about? The Lu Qing family can handle it well. You, the Qing family, should Whatever you do, do whatever you want.”
In Ding Palace, Liu Yu and others felt a little more relaxed when they saw that Liu Bian was not panicked.
Liu Yu still couldn't help but said: "Your Majesty, I'd like to ask you to go to the Third Assistant!"
Liu Bian waved his hand and said: "Didn't I say that there is no need to mobilize an army for a mere Qiang people. The Qing family should make preparations and return to Youzhou as soon as possible. By the way,"
Having said this, Liu Bian looked at Yuan Wei and said, "Yuan Qing's family, has the imperial edict been drafted?"
Yuan Wei raised his head and said: "Back to Your Majesty, Yuan Hui is still complaining..."
"Why take a leave at this time?"
Liu Bian interrupted him and said in a deep voice: "Let him rest. Huangmen Shilang Xun You has been promoted to Shangshu to take charge of Yuan Hui's affairs. Pan Yin, please pass on my will and the edict will be issued today!"
"Yes." Pan Yin quickly agreed, turned around and went out.
Yuan Wei was not given a chance to speak again.
Yuan Wei frowned. The little emperor was still calm at this time and was still thinking about the affairs of the Qizhou Prefect.
Yuan Wei regained his expression instantly and remained silent.
When Liu Bian saw that he was silent, he asked again: "Has the imperial edict from Yuan Qing's family to Dong Zhuo arrived in Bingzhou?"
Yuan Wei paused and said: "There should be two days left. It's still too late to recover it now."
Liu Bian stared at him, his eyes quiet, but he turned to San Gong and said: "I am considering separating the chancellery from the Shaofu. What do you think?"
Liu Hong did not expect that Liu Bian would 'solve' such a big issue as the Qiang people's invasion of Jingji in just a few words, and then turn to deal with internal affairs.
He calmed down a little before he reacted and said: "Your Majesty, I have no objection."
The Shangshutai is nominally affiliated with the Shaofu, and the Shaofu is nominally affiliated with Sikong, but Sikong has actually long been in vain.
The Shangshutai has become the de facto central organization, and the Shaofu is no longer the same as before. Most of the power and positions have been divided between Da Sinong, Huangmen in the palace, Lang Guan, etc.
Therefore, there is no obstacle to the separation of Shangshutai from Shaofu.
In Ding Palace, Liu Yu raised his hand and said, "I have no objection."
After settling the matter, Liu Bian looked at Yuan Wei again and said, "Yuan Qing's family, when will Yuan Ji arrive in Beijing?"
Yuan Wei's expression moved slightly, he looked up at Liu Bian, remained silent for a moment, and said, "Your Majesty, I plan to return to Beijing tomorrow."
"Okay, now that we have arrived in Beijing, let him enter the palace first, and I will have a chat with him." Liu Bian said with a smile.
After listening to Liu Bian's words, Liu Yu glanced sharply at Yuan Wei beside him.
Yesterday, Yuan Shao was taken away from Tingwei Mansion by Xiao Huangmen, and his whereabouts are still unknown!
