Liu Yu sighed after hearing Hua Xiu's words.

"In fact, although the captives have been arrogant since Liu Yuan's death, their reputation of being fierce and cruel has been known to the world. What they can rely on is only more than 100,000 slaughtered various things in Bingzhou. If they accumulate evil disasters, they will be punished by heaven."

Liu Yuan, the founder of the Huns and Han State, was a complete "spiritual Han man". He was not only proficient in classics, but also good at winning over scholars. He also took every step towards the expansion of the Huns and Han State. With the strength of half of Bingzhou, he dragged the broken Jin court into the abyss of death.

In Liu Yu's opinion, Liu Yuan, the Huns, is truly terrible. If it were time to go by, the powerful families among the Jin people in the Central Plains would gradually become scattered with him. It is possible to preview the deeds of the Marquis of the Han army in the Song and Yuan dynasties and the traitor army in the Han banner during the Ming and Qing dynasties in the later periods.

Fortunately, Liu Yuan died soon. Although his successor Liu Cong did not slacken in military expansion at all, his internal affairs not only made no achievements, but instead turned around and deviated from Liu Yuan's policy of Chineseization.

After the Hun Liu Cong came to power, the most important thing was to give the dead ghost father a few cuckolds, and restore the "green father" tradition on the grassland. Not only did it disgusting some of the Huns' royal families, but it also seriously deteriorated the image established by Liu Yuan.

In addition, the traditional tribal leaders within the Huns, and the chiefs and royal families of various tribes rejected the powerful Jin people. Although the territory expanded was large, they did not have much military and political strength to grow.

"Although the Huns are rampant now, they rely on only more than 100,000 Huns. As long as all parties work together, how can they be this?"

Hua Xiu also felt that the Huns were not as powerful as they thought. Even if even Luoyang had been captured, the power of the refugees led by Wang Mi and others played an important role.

"Compared with the Huns, the millions of Xianbei barbarians outside the frontier are the enemies of life and death. Although they are all attacking each other now, once they join forces to invade the south, they will definitely be truly devastated."

The reason why Liu Yu said this is because history has shown that whether it is the Xiongnu who established the Han and Zhao, the Jiehu people who established the Later Zhao, or the Di people who suddenly prospered, they have to be at a disadvantage in front of the Xianbei people who have a stronger advantage in numbers.

After the Xianbei people entered the north, they took advantage of their military advantages and even opposed civilization. In the early days of the Northern Wei Dynasty, they repeatedly tried to reverse the Hu people in the Central Plains. If it were not for the repeated military pressure and internal rebellion of the Southern Dynasty, which led to the rapid decline of the Xianbei people, they would not know how long this battle between China and the barbarians would have continued.

"Wang Pengzu plays with fire, one day, these vassals will be too big to lose their ranks." Hua Xiu is also not optimistic about Wang Jun, who has always been eccentric.

As for another thing, for Liu Yu, it is mixed.

That is, the Sikong Xunfan, who occupied Mi County and established Xingtai, had just been attacked by Hu Han and Wang Mi. Most of the city and forts around Mi County fell. The Jin court officials and soldiers who Xunfan had worked hard to collect were also greatly damaged and had to give up Mi County.

"It seems that Xun Sikong must come to Yanzhou."

Liu Yu knew that because he supported Sima Duan as the crown prince, Xun Fan and others wanted to support Sima Ye, which led to conflicts. However, if Xun Fan's Mi County was attacked, if he had to give up escaping, he would be able to come to Yanzhou to join him.

"Not necessarily. After Xun Fan gave up Mi County, he could still go south. Yingchuan and Runan areas were supported by human and material resources," Hua Xiu felt that it was not that simple.

Because if Xun Fan came to Yanzhou to join Liu Yu, it would mean giving up the power to take over the power of his own. Even if his reputation could still be above Liu Yu, the power in his hand would have to be handed over.

"Haha, Xun Sikong is in charge of Mi County, and even one Wang Mi can't defeat him. If he goes south to Runan, Yingchuan, wouldn't he have to face Wang Mi? Gou Xi's left and right attacks, and Wang Mi is like this, and Xun Sikong may not be so confident when he comes to another more powerful Gou Xi."

Liu Yu said calmly.

Gou Xi's troops, who now occupy the Nanyang area, are trying to break out of the Nanyang area because they are frequently attacked by Jingzhou, and are mostly attacking in Runan area east.

As it turns out, Liu Yu's guess is indeed correct.

When Liu Yu led his army to Gaoping County, Yanzhou, he immediately received a report from the messenger from Chenliu County, Yanzhou, saying that it was the Sikong Xun Fan of the Great Jin Dynasty, the Xun Group of Taichang, and others who led more than 30,000 Taiwanese officials and soldiers from Mi County, and had arrived north of the Weishi of Chenliu County, Yanzhou.

After receiving the news, Liu Yu couldn't help but be overjoyed.

"As long as Xun comes to join us, most of the scholars and common people in the Central Plains can be used by me!"

It is definitely worth it for Liu Yu to be so happy, because although Xun Fan and others in the late Western Jin Dynasty were not as good as Xun You, Xun Yu and others in the late Eastern Han Dynasty, the influence of the Xun family in the Yingchuan was not reduced at all compared to that of that year.

Especially now, Liu Yu has a reputable military force. If he gets the success of Xun's family, he will definitely be the first vassal state.

"When Xun comes to surrender, the general's power will grow. This is what the so-called pillar of the country should be like." Hua Xiu said with some meaning as he spoke.

"Oh, it's amazing. If Xun Sikong led more than 30,000 people to join the general, and the generals owned Qingzhou, Yanzhou, and Xuzhou, wouldn't this recreate the hegemony of Emperor Wu of Wei back then?" Zhao Kun slapped his head and said excitedly as if he suddenly realized.

Hua Xiu, Wu Xin, Liu Xun and others next to them all looked very similar after hearing this.

"So, Liu Cong, Liu Yao, Wang Mi, and Shi Le of the Huns are the Yellow Turban Thief, and Wang Jun is the Yuan Shao." Zhao Kun was as excited as if he had discovered some decrypted prophecy.

However, when Liu Yu heard Zhao Kun say this, he didn't agree much. If even a reckless person like Zhao Kun thinks so, then others would probably have thought of this analogy long ago.

Because of the story of Cao Cao holding the emperor, if this association is caused, it will be a big mistake.

Hua Xiu obviously had this kind of thought. He also saw the concerns on Liu Yu's face and immediately spoke to stop Zhao Kun.

"The current affairs are different, how can we talk about this?"

After experiencing all kinds of conspiracies and cunning at the Wei and Jin Dynasties, even though the Cao Wei dynasty opened up a perfect era of power for the gentry all over the world, the gentry's evaluation of Cao Wei was not very good.

Seeing this, Zhao Kun had to close his mouth in disappointment.

At this time, Hua Xiu faced Liu Yu very seriously and spoke.

"General, now Sikong Xunfan leads Mi County to the Taiwan Strait. I am afraid that the crown prince will gather in Taichung in the future, and the officials and officials will be mixed. If we cannot plan early, we will be in chaos and all kinds of political affairs will be unsuccessful. Maybe many wise and ambitious people will fall into poverty, which is also very likely."

When Liu Yu heard this, he felt it was reasonable.

When the remnants of the Mi County Xingtai led by Sikong Xunfan arrived in Yanzhou, although they brought many officials, Liu Yu could use these officials to quickly get rid of the embarrassing situation lacking officials at all levels, the selection of officials who have always been popular in the Jin Dynasty politics will also follow.

If this situation is not curbed, as Hua Xiu said, it would be considered lighter. If it is even more serious, it is possible to be undermined by these officials of all levels and ranks.

"Also, Xun Fan is the three dukes. Of course, he is above the general. If he cannot think about how to deal with it early, there will inevitably be no other changes in the future." Hua Xiu continued.

"What good advice does the chief minister have?" Liu Yu said, in fact, he had already guessed something.

Hua Xiu sat upright and said seriously.

"In order to coordinate with the government, I beg the general to follow the story of Cao Gong in the late Han Dynasty and open the domineering palace to command the world!"

"Ba Mansion?"

When Liu Xun, Wu Xin, Zhao Kun, Gao Liang, Xu Miao and other generals present were stunned.

These people are all from humble origins and know some widely circulated stories, but they are also confused about what the so-called Badao Mansion in Cao Cao at the end of the Han Dynasty was.

"Yes, it's the Ba Mansion."

When Liu Yu heard this, he fell into deep thought.

"Ba Mansion!"

"Politics of the State of the State."

Liu Yu of course knew about the politics of the Bafu. To put it in the simplest explanation, the Bafu is that the powerful ministers replaced some functions of the government with their own shogunate, and even most of the functions of the government. Among them, the shogunate officials also replaced conventional government officials in governance.

In this way, you can easily bypass the bureaucratic system of the court and find a different approach to achieve the goal of controlling power.

Liu Yu then used the simplest words to briefly explain to the ministers next to him what the Bafu is, that is, the Bafu politics.

"However, in this way, wouldn't it be easier for the people of the world to associate the general with Cao Cao?"

My nephew Liu Xun first thought of this question.

As there is a great chaos today, although all the vassal states are ambitious, they all openly respect the Jin family, namely the Sima family.

In this case, if Liu Yu jumped out to do something "domestic politics" first, wouldn't it be equivalent to shouting loudly, "Come on everyone, come and come. I, Liu Yu, are going to learn from Cao Cao, I will threaten the crown prince to order the princes!"

Liu Xun was worried that this would be very likely to attract the hatred of Fang Zhen from the Huns and the Huns to Liu Yu.

In other words, it is not very likely, it should be 100%.

"Yes, let alone, after Xun Sikong and others came to join the general, they found that the general had used the Ba Mansion to put them aside. Wouldn't it disappointed them and leave?" Wu Xin was also a little worried.

At this time, Liu Yu heard this and was still thinking.

Just as the other generals were also expressing their opinions in chaos, Liu Yu suddenly said with a touch of his hands.

"No, don't worry about these things, this Ba Mansion must be opened."

Liu Yu's words were sonorous and powerful, and it was obvious that he had made up his mind.

Liu Yu continued to explain about the doubts that his subordinates had just said.

"As for the current situation, whether I, Liu Jixing, or not, is no longer the focus. Now we have occupied the millions of Dingkous in Qingzhou, Yanzhou and Xuzhou, and there is no need to spend more time. It only takes one year to have 200,000 armored soldiers. As long as we are not blind, we can see how strong we are. So no matter whether we open or not, in the eyes of some people, we are already thorns in their eyes."

"Or it is to say that at this time, Liu Jixing, whether he followed Cao Cao or not, was already more hateful than the Hulu!"

After hearing this, everyone present was silent and nodded in unison.

Seeing this, Liu Yu continued to say.

"As for the so-called officials of Mi County Xingtai, will they leave each of them just because they reopened the Ba Mansion? In my opinion, this issue is also a small problem."

"I can still choose officials if I follow Cao Cao's example in opening the Ba Mansion. If they want to be officials, they can still accept the recruitment of the Ba Mansion at the same time. It does not mean that after reopening the Ba Mansion, they will abandon these people."

"In my opinion, whether the officials in Mi County Xingtai who are worried about will resign and leave without taking office, it is the least likely."

"If there is a big chaos today, only I, Liu Jixing, can still maintain peace. If they really have this backbone and abandon it for a domineering mansion, then the original world would not have made them look like this."

Liu Yu's words immediately wiped out the doubts of Liu Xun, Wu Xin and other generals.

After these concerns were eliminated, they all developed strong common associations because of Liu Yu's firm attitude.

Everyone looked at each other and saw excitement and expectation in each other's eyes.

It is a kind of expectation for higher power, and an excitement of having more power, status, money, land, and fame.

Although Liu Yu left the crown prince Sima Duan in Cangyuan and left the guards of the first confidant general Dong Ping, Liu Yu was still worried.

After learning that Sikong Xunfan led the Mi County Xingtai into Yanzhou, Liu Yu left the accompanying infantry to Hua Xiu and others commanded and led the cavalry of Wu Xin, Liu Xun and others, and rushed to Cangyuan, Chenliu County with a fast horse.

Liu Yu must arrive at Cangyuan before Sikong Xunfan to prevent Sikong Xunfan from joining Cangyuan after leading more than 30,000 people into Cangyuan. If anything happens, he will not be Zhou Zhang.

Fortunately, Liu Yu led the cavalry to Cangyuan City in Chenliu County, Yanzhou in less than a day and a half.

At this time, Liu Yu, who was hurried into the city, realized that the remnants of Mi County led by Sikong Xunfan were still two days away from Cangyuan.

As soon as he saw Dong Ping, Liu Yu began to ask about the movements of the Crown Prince Sima Duan.

"Crown Prince, everything is normal. Every day, no other hobbies, and rarely goes out." Dong Ping's answer satisfied Liu Yu.

"It's the best, as long as he doesn't mess around, he doesn't have to look too tight."
