"The fact that you can break through the siege in Jizhou and report the news is enough to prove your loyalty. Are you willing to serve me and kill the traitors?" Liu Xie stared at Zhang He with fixed eyes.

Hear the sound.

Zhang He's expression became extremely serious. Suddenly, he kowtowed to Liu Xie and said, "I, Zhang He, am a citizen of the Han Dynasty, and I am loyal to Your Majesty. I am willing to go through fire and water for Your Majesty, even if I die."

"From today on, you will join the Qiongqi Army as deputy general Zhao Yun." Liu Xie immediately issued an order.

"Your Majesty, Zhang He, thanks you for your kindness." Zhang He said gratefully.

He jumped from a messenger to a deputy general. This is a great opportunity. Of course, this may be what he deserves. Jizhou has been completely lost and has fallen into the control of Yuan Shao, and Yuan Shao also surrendered the original

Jizhou's 150,000-strong army has greatly increased in strength.

Zhang He traveled thousands of miles to report the news and gave up his life for the big man. Why didn't Liu Xie use such loyal people?

What's more important is that he has great talents. Later he is known as one of the Four Court Pillars of Hebei, and he is also the most wise and courageous one.

"Tell the imperial physician to take Zhang Aiqing down for treatment," Liu Xie said loudly.

"According to the order." Immediately, two Forbidden Army soldiers took Zhang He down to heal his wounds.

"Your Majesty, Yuan Shao is treasonous and immoral, so I ask for orders to attack him," Lu Bu said again.

"No rush, no rush." ​​Liu Xie shook his head calmly, not taking Yuan Shao seriously at all.

Although Jizhou is rich, it is still the territory of the Han Dynasty.

Yuan Shao now has 200,000 soldiers and horses, but after all, they are not the cronies he has cultivated. Among them, 150,000 troops are Jizhou garrison. As soon as the imperial army arrives, they will surely surrender upon hearing the news, which is not enough to provide evidence.

"Guo Aiqing, Jia Aiqing, what are your plans for this situation?" Liu Xie looked at Guo Jia and Jia Xu and asked. These two strategy ministers should have already had an idea.

"Master Jia, should I speak first?" Guo Jia smiled, looked at Jia Xu and said.

"Young people first," Jia Xu said with a smile.

"In that case, you're welcome to Guo." Guo Jia also smiled and immediately stood in the palace and said, "Your Majesty, I feel that our court will not send troops for the time being."

"Why is this? Are we going to let the traitor Yuan Shao go free and let him make Jizhou bigger?" When Lu Bu heard this, he became anxious.

"Listen to Guo Aiqing." Liu Xie's eyes widened, and Lu Bu immediately shut up.

"We have thirteen states in the Han Dynasty, and the princes are all standing together. Each state has soldiers and horses left behind. The neighboring states and counties of Jizhou include Youzhou, Bingzhou, Qingzhou, and Yanzhou. The four states have geographically surrounded Jizhou, among which Bingzhou

For the actual control of our imperial court, Liu Yu, a royal relative of the clan, is the state pastor of Youzhou, and Liu Dai, the pastor of Yanzhou, is also a clan member of the Han clan. Among the two, Liu Yu is loyal to the Han clan and will not betray His Majesty, and Liu Dai should

I dare not betray His Majesty."

"So your majesty can issue an imperial edict and order the two states to lead a large army to kill the rebellious Yuan Shao. As for Bingzhou, you can also send an army to the east and besiege him in three directions. In this way, Yuan Shao will be defeated." Guo Jia suggested with his strategizing skills.

"Master Guo has a good plan. If it works, our court can capture Yuan Shao and kill the rebels without spending a single soldier."

As soon as Guo Jia's plan came out, Lu Bu, who was initially reluctant to shout and kill, immediately understood the benefits of this plan and immediately clapped his hands and praised it.

"Master Guo's clever plan."

All civil and military officials realized the effectiveness of this strategy and nodded in praise.

"You have already mentioned Bingzhou, Yanzhou and Youzhou, why not Qingzhou?" Liu Xie pondered for a while and said loudly.

"Reporting to your Majesty, Qingzhou is a bit complicated. I would like to say something or not." Guo Jia said with a playful smile.

"Qingzhou is the only prefecture and county among the thirteen states of the Han Dynasty that is not actually controlled by the princes. The state pastor is Liu Qing, who is also a clan member of the Han Dynasty. But his life in Qingzhou is not good. After the defeat, the millions of Yellow Turban troops

They are all hiding in the mountains and forests of Qingzhou, and they have enough troops. If Qingzhou is allowed to send troops, the Yellow Turban Army will definitely take advantage of it and cause trouble in Qingzhou, so you, Guo Jia, didn’t say anything." Liu Xie said with a half-smile but not a smile.

"Hey, Your Majesty is wise. I am just making suggestions. The specific decision-making power is still left to Your Majesty." Guo Jia said with a smile. In this court, he was the only one with a playful face, looking like a prodigal son.

"I think I can use this move to give Qingzhou's million Yellow Turban Army an opportunity." Jia Xu stood up and cupped his hands.

"I understand what you mean." Liu Xie glanced at Jia Xu and said thoughtfully.

"Your Majesty, I think Lord Jia Xu's proposal can be considered."

At this time.

Chen Gong also stood up.

Then he respectfully said to the high seat: "During the heaven-sacrifice ceremony that day, His Majesty once said that the root cause of the Yellow Turban Uprising was the court's missteps and the inaction of local officials. I feel that Your Majesty can give the Qingzhou million Yellow Turban Army a chance to start anew.

Give me the opportunity to give back to our common people.

"This time Yuan Shao rebels, I predict that Yuan Shao will also focus on the Yellow Turban Army in Qingzhou. If he can get a million Yellow Turban Army, his power will increase even more, and our court can also send people to the Yellow Turban Army Stronghold to tell His Majesty the Holy Spirit

Virtue, I am willing to give them a chance to change their ways. As long as they send troops to attack Yuan Shao, the imperial court will no longer hold the Yellow Turban Army accountable for their crimes."

"Lord Chen Gong's words make sense."

"I second the proposal." Xun Yu stood up and cupped his hands.

"In the final analysis, the millions of Yellow Turbans are my Han people. Their rebellion was also instigated by others. I feel that Your Majesty can give them a chance. If they are willing to surrender to my court, Your Majesty can forgive them. On the contrary, they are stubborn.

, One day when our imperial army overthrows, we will wipe out the roots and leave no one alive." Jia Xu thought for a while and then stood up and said.

Jia Xu was not a benevolent counselor. On the contrary, he was a counselor who would do whatever it took to achieve his goals. This is how he was called a poisonous counselor in later generations.

However, Jia Xu had foresight and knew that one day Qingzhou's millions of Yellow Turbans would eventually be solved, and he took this opportunity to get to know the Yellow Turbans first.

"Since all the ministers think that Qingzhou Million Yellow Turbans can be given a chance, if I refuse, wouldn't I become a tyrant?" Liu Xie looked around and said with a smile.

"Your Majesty is wise," the civil and military officials said in unison.

"Draft the decree." Liu Xiewei said.

"Order Liu Yu of Youzhou to lead the Youzhou infantry to attack Jizhou from the south, order Liu Dai of Yanzhou to lead the Yanzhou army to attack Jizhou from the west, and order Zhang Liao to lead the Bingzhou army to attack Jizhou from the east." Liu Xie said in a powerful voice.

"As for Qingzhou..." Liu Xie pondered for a while and asked: "Who is the leader of the Million Yellow Turbans now?"

"Your Majesty, I have investigated the Yellow Turban Army. Since the death of Zhang Jiao's three brothers, the Yellow Turban Army is currently led by Zhang Jiao's two adopted sons, Zhang Niujiao and Zhang Yan." Guo Jia stood up and reported back.
