Chapter 33 The situation in Jizhou
Chapter 33 The Situation of Jizhou
This situation is already very different from the original history! The most obvious difference is naturally Yuan Shao! In the original time and space, Yuan Shao already occupied the entire Jizhou and began to compete with Gongsun Zan for Youzhou! And he also had strong control over Bingzhou and Qingzhou! At that time, Yuan Shao was the largest prince in the world, and even compared with Dong Zhuo, he was a little stronger! But now Yuan Shao could only stay in Bohai County and rely on other people's breath to survive! Now even his younger brother Yuan Shu, who he had always looked down upon, and his former playmate Cao Cao, was stronger than him! How could Yuan Shao, who had always been arrogant and proud of his eldest son of the Yuan family, bear it?
Originally, he followed the advice of his adviser Feng Ji, joined forces with Han Fu and others to make Liu Yu the emperor, and prepared to undermine Liu Yu, so that he could not only gain control of Jizhou, but also get rid of the control of the Chang'an court and the small court in Luoyang. He also had a legitimate reason to fight for dominance in the world! However, Liu Yu refused this suggestion without hesitation and mercilessly! He also scolded Yuan Shao and others! This situation angered Yuan Shao! But he didn't dare to really do anything to Liu Yu, after all, Liu Bin is in Youzhou not far away! If he attacked Liu Yu in Jizhou, then Liu Bin would definitely retaliate against him! With his current strength, he might not be Liu Bin's opponent! So he had to bear it for the time being!
But he didn't want to give up! Since Liu Yu agreed to be the emperor, it would be like a solution! Guo Tu, another adviser of Yuan Shao, gave Yuan Shao an idea! That was to take a step back and let Liu Yu agree to be the assistant minister, the military officer, and the secretary of the Shangshu! The so-called Shangshu is actually equivalent to the power of the prime minister! However, now the Han court does not have the position of prime minister! The power of the prime minister has been assigned to the three dukes, but now the three dukes do not have such great power, and the three dukes are actually just some false names! The Shangshu is actually the emperor's personal assistant! When the emperor is stronger, this position does not have much power, but when the emperor is weak and incompetent, this is a huge position! It is equivalent to the auxiliary minister!
Yuan Shao was also very satisfied after hearing this, so he submitted a memorial to Liu Yu again according to Guo Tu's method. He asked Liu Yu to record the affairs of Shangshu! Dong Zhuo, who resisted Chang'an! He originally thought that this time would be successful, and Liu Yu would agree! As the same thing, every man has power in his heart! Especially those who are officials naturally want to gain greater power! Perhaps some people do not have the courage to be emperors, but they hope to have more power in their hands.
The better! Even if Liu Yu is a loyal minister, he will not exceed this range! Fame and fortune are the only pursuit of most men! Fame and fortune, fame and fortune are even before profit! Loyal and righteous men like Liu Yu may not pay too much attention to interests, but they attach great importance to fame and fame! What they want is to leave their reputation in history! So Yuan Shao feels that this time is very sure! But the final result is disappointing Yuan Shao and irritable and uneasy!
Liu Yu still refused, and even scolded Yuan Shao! Liu Yu is not a fool! Yes, he also wants to gain greater power! No one can escape from the scope of fame and fortune! But under normal circumstances, in this situation, if Liu Yu really agrees to Yuan Shao's request, it will not be a name in history, but a reputation for being a demon for thousands of years! And Liu Yu also thought it very clearly. Since he even refused to be an emperor, he naturally would not value this request to record the Shangshu! People like Yuan Shao would not really surrender to him, but just wanted to use him.
Already! I want to treat myself as a puppet! Of course, the most important thing is that Liu Bin is the regent minister left by the late emperor, and can be said to be the regent. He is a legitimate minister of regent and can control the government! Now that he really goes to record the affairs of the Shangshu, isn’t that slapping Liu Bin in the face and turning against Liu Bin? In this case, he naturally won’t agree! He had such a good relationship with Liu Bin, but now for Yuan Shao and for such unrealistic reputation, it is really not worth it to turn against Liu Bin! So he still scolded Yuan Shao, hoping that Yuan Shao could restrain himself!
However, after this, Liu Yu's brain began to get a little enlightened! Yuan Shao was his subordinate, and now he actually caused these ruthless things, but he could only blame verbally, but not any substantial punishment! The reason for this situation is that he did not have any army in his hands, and Yuan Shao had a large number of army in his hands! How could he punish Yuan Shao if he did not surpass his opponent's army? Maybe he could also use the majesty of his superiors to punish Yuan Shao and others in his daily life. But now in a chaotic world, the court's majesty is declining, and the majesty of the court and the superiors has no effect on these princes! So in order to avoid such a situation in the future, Liu Yu was also preparing to increase the number of troops in his hands, hoping to use the majesty of the army and the superiors to deter Yuan Shao and others, so that they dare not act rashly!
Liu Yu is an activist, and he does what he says! So he quickly recruits troops within Jizhou! Jizhou is the largest state in the world, with a large population and sufficient money and food. It is no problem to recruit troops and support a large number of troops! Tian Feng and Ju Su, two of Liu Yu's advisers, were also a talented man in the world and were well-versed in military operations. Now recruiting troops is not a problem! So the process of recruiting troops was very smooth! Without much effort, they recruited hundreds of thousands of troops! In addition, Liu Yu and Liu Bin from Youzhou were close, so they knew
It was said that Liu Yu wanted to recruit troops, so Liu Bin also supported Jizhou's many weapons and equipment, and tens of thousands of war horses! The army in Jizhou was not empty and had no weapons and equipment! After the army in Jizhou was recruited, it began to train desperately and even formed a cavalry unit of tens of thousands! It made Liu Yu's army the third in the world, with tens of thousands of cavalry units, second only to Liu Bin and Dong Zhuo! Although these troops are still some novice now, as long as they are properly trained, they are not without combat effectiveness!
Of course, Liu Bin is not that kind of generous person, not the kind of person who helps others and is the basis of helping others. Although he and Liu Yu have a close relationship, they will not give Liu Yu so much money! The weapons and equipment supported by Liu Bin and tens of thousands of war horses are not supported free of charge! These are all exchanged for Jizhou’s money and food! But that’s it, Liu Yu is already very happy! It’s okay to say that weapons and equipment are sufficient, so it’s not a problem to buy these weapons and equipment! However, if you build it yourself, it will take a lot of time. If you buy it from other places, you will get the princes for nothing. Moreover, Youzhou’s weapons and equipment are well-known all over the world.
The quality of their weapons and equipment is naturally more guaranteed! The most important thing is the war horses! You should know that war horses are strategic materials, so it is not easy to buy so many! Now the war horses in the world have been monopolized by Liu Bin and Dong Zhuo! Even if you have money, you can't buy them! Don't you see that the troops of the princes in the world have no established troops? When the eighteen princes attacked Dong Zhuo, except for Liu Bin's troops, all the cavalry of the other princes did not have more than 10,000 cavalry in total! Liu Yu was naturally overjoyed to have so many cavalry now, so how could he care about such a little money and food? Anyway, there is nothing else in Jizhou, but these money and food are too much!
And Liu Bin in Youzhou did this, but it was not without gains! Liu Bin was not a fool, so he would not do those actions of investing in the enemy! He did this naturally, which would be of great benefit to Youzhou! Youzhou is going to carry out large-scale construction now, and Youzhou's capital was enough for Youzhou's construction! But now Bingzhou and the grassland have become Liu Bin's territory. These places are very poor. Although Youzhou is rich, it does not have so much food! Now the population of Youzhou has soared so much, and Youzhou's original grain reserves are naturally
It's not enough. Now that he can get so much money and food from Jizhou is naturally beneficial to the construction of Youzhou! Moreover, Liu Bin and Liu Yu have a close relationship and know Liu Yu very well. Naturally, he knows that Liu Yu does not have much military talent. No matter how many powerful troops he has, he will not pose any threat to himself! Moreover, Jizhou is in front of Youzhou. When Jizhou is strong, it can serve as a shield for Youzhou. For the time being, those princes who are ambitious about Youzhou can gain a lot of time for themselves to recuperate and develop construction!
Of course, this is not the main reason! Liu Bin is bound to win Jizhou! In his plan, Jizhou will sooner or later become his territory! Since that is the case, it will naturally be better to carry out construction early. Now that Jizhou is becoming stronger, when Liu Bin takes over Jizhou in the future, he will no longer have to do his best to build it! It can save Liu Bin a lot of trouble! Liu Bin is now very upset by Youzhou affairs, and Liu Bin is already very happy that he can save some effort.
!As for whether Liu Bin can successfully accept Jizhou after the Jizhou became stronger, Liu Bin was not worried about whether Liu Yu could manage the finances of one party. However, Liu Bin could completely ignore him by leading troops to fight! Moreover, Jizhou under Liu Yu was not calm, and Liu Yu's control over Jizhou was not really impeccable! With ambitious guys like Yuan Shao, Jizhou will sooner or later become in chaos! As long as Jizhou becomes in chaos, it will be Liu Bin's chance!
