358: Wang Yun's 2 strategies, targeting again!
The court was short of money and food, but Liu He would not directly donate food and money to the court.
Therefore, after the emperor ordered Cao Cao and Yuan Shao to take office immediately, Liu He asked the emperor and the ministers about the situation of the granary in Luoyang.
Sure enough, Wang Yun's first strategy was to target the Zhenxi Army. It seemed that he was determined to fight against Liu He.
Even some powerful princes refused directly. Some said that their territory was suffering from a food disaster, and some said that the army was suppressing bandits. They were in short supply of food and materials and hoped that the court could allocate some food and salaries.
Ask for flowers!! Ask for tickets!!!! Ask for custom!!!!!.
"I heard that the income of the imperial court is very tight recently, how much grain is left in the granary?
Liu Xie's face was helpless and sad. He was actually a very self-motivated emperor. He thought that if he beat Dong Zhuo, he would go all out to do what an emperor should do for the people of the world.
But these are not all Liu He's troops. There are more than 70,000 defenders in the Xiliang counties, 30,000 of Sun Jian's troops, 5,000 of Ma Chao's Yulin army, and 100,000 troops left in Youzhou. He's troops reached half a million.
Emperor Liu Xie also encouraged him to say it if he had a plan, and would not blame him for it.
So he preemptively said: "Since Lord Situ has an idea, he should say it quickly, let us all see whether it is suitable or not, it is all for the sake of the court, what is suitable or not!""
This number was more than 200,000 horses than the total number of feudal vassals at that time seeking Dong, how could the court not worry and be afraid of that!
Not to mention how to keep his subordinates fed and clothed is enough for him to have a headache. Now the official warehouse has long run out of food, but the big court can't rely on the big clan to help, it's too shameless. .
As soon as Liu He's question was thrown, the emperor and ministers felt ashamed. The granary in Luoyang used to be the place where the most grain was stored, but now it is so empty that even rats are unwilling to patronize it.
The state of Liu Xie and Wang Yun's harmony has appeared more than once, so Liu He felt on the spot that his two strategies were likely to target him.
You know, Liu He, three in a row, not only questioned Wang Yun, but also sounded the alarm to the emperor and the ministers in the hall.
Is Liu He more suitable to be the emperor than himself?
"Master Situ has a good plan?" Emperor Liu Xie said a little miserably.
"Hey, the emperor didn't know something. When Dong Zhuo was forced to evacuate, he took all the food and valuables to Xiliang, and then there were big men near Luoyang, and it didn't take long for the new food to hit the bottom. All rely on Wang Situ's Taiyuan family and Xun Skong's Yingchuan family to make a living!
"It's just that the old minister is worried that there is no shortage of fertile fields in Luoyang, but there are not many farmers who cultivate it. I'm afraid that even if the wind is well-balanced next year, it will not be able to harvest too much food. Over time, the court will always be in a state of lack of money and food. !
The infiltration and encroachment of foreign tribes is also impossible for the weak Han to compete. You must know that when Liu He collected (Li Zhao's) and restored Bingzhou and Xiliang, he drove away and incorporated many foreign nationalities such as Xiongnu and Wuhuan.
"The Governor of Zhenxi, calm down, the old minister has absolutely no intention of this, it's just that... soldiers are also murderous weapons. One soldier, ten farmers, or even one soldier needs twenty to thirty farmers to support him, and if the Governor can cut the number of troops by half, then It has saved millions of people's labor for the world! This will definitely benefit the revival of the imperial court without any harm!
Hearing this, many ministers also expressed the same worry, after all, it is not a long way to rely on two big clans to help.
"Master Situ, is he worried that my army in the west of town will be in danger, or do you think that my Liu He's too many troops will threaten the imperial court?"
Bingzhou's Yanliang's 50,000, Xu Huang's 50,000, Xiliang Lu Bu's 50,000, Wen Chou's 30,000, Taishi Ci's 30,000, Zhang Liao, Zhang He, and Gao Shun total 30,000, and the five that Zhao Yun brought to Youzhou. Wan Tieqi is exactly 300,000 people.
"This... The old minister has two strategies, I don't know if I should say it or not!" Wang Yun clasped his fists again, but his eyes quietly glanced at Liu He who was beside him.
This is not asking Liu He for labor, it is clearly trying to take the opportunity to reduce the strength of the Zhenxi Army.
Regardless of whether it was the joint name of the three masters, or he wrote an edict as the emperor, asking the surrounding princes to send food to the capital, but he did not get an accurate answer.
It was just that Wang Yungang explained that the reduction of troops was not harmful, which immediately attracted Liu He's anger.
Because at this time, he also felt that what Liu He said was reasonable. Although Liu He was highly successful, suppressing the Western Army would only make the court lose its protective umbrella.
As the saying goes, it is better to teach them how to fish than to teach them to fish.
As Liu He said, if there is no strong military force to deter, you will not know what the world will be like.
Such a straightforward suppression made Liu He very annoyed, and he burst into laughter before the emperor Liu Xie could speak.
Sometimes Liu Xie even felt that because of his limited ability, he couldn't shake the princes from all over the country, so no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't recreate the glory of the big man.
People who are not of us will have different hearts. The Huns have long spy on the great rivers and mountains of the Han, and letting the Huns live without any scruples near Chang'an City will leave disaster sooner or later.

Wang Yun then said: "The first solution of the old minister is to hope that the King of Jinyang can reduce the strength of the Zhenxi Army and reduce the troops to return to agriculture. Only in this way can we ensure that the fertile fields around Luoyang can have enough labor to cultivate."
The Luoyang area lacks labor, so it is possible to move in Xinmin from the Central Plains, Sanfu and other places.
Among them, the Huns pretended to be friendly with the imperial court and moved their tribes to the vicinity of Chang'an City.
At this time, Wang Yun appeared again and said: "Report to the emperor, although the harvest near Luoyang is not good this year, I and the Xun family in Yingchuan are still very willing to continue to help the court this year." "
And every time he thinks of this place, he will think of a person. This person is Liu He. He is also young, but he has the temperament of spitting mountains and rivers. At the same time, the places where he operates are also well-received by the people, and everyone is well-fed and well-fed.
Wang Yun found out through his own channels that there were nearly 300,000 troops on the bright side of the Zhenxi Army.
"`" There is no harm in the bullshit. You know that without these soldiers and horses, the imperial court would still be under the control of Dong Zhuo. You know that if there were no such soldiers and horses to frighten how many princes would be self-proclaimed kings and princes, you know if Without these soldiers and horses stationed in the frontier, the millions of foreigners would have infiltrated the land of Sanfu long ago!
Therefore, after Liu He was reprimanded in the palace, the emperor and the ministers did not dare to refute, and even Wang Yun, who wanted to suppress Liu He, closed his mouth.
Who would have thought that after being the emperor for more than half a year, he knew that it was really hard to be a good emperor.
