Chapter 755: Wang Yun's Compromise
The letter Liu Qi wrote to Wang Yun did not have much profound content. He just stated that Liangzhou has been rebelling frequently for many years, and the court had to spend a lot of effort to quell the rebellion, spending a lot of manpower and money. Now Dong Zhuo is dead, while Ma Teng and Han Sui surrender and perish. Although there are no strong people in Liangzhou for the time being, it is difficult to guarantee that there will be no chaos in the future. It is necessary to control the court by a person with strength, energy and financial resources, so as not to make the rear of Liangzhou a burden for the court in the west.
Of course, if Wang Yun is unwilling, Liu Qi cannot threaten the tutor Wang. He just wants to report the matter to Liu Yu after helping him open up the situation in Guanzhong.
"Look, look... Gongtai, how many years have you been in the industry? You dare to move Liu Yu out and suppress me! He concluded that I would not dare to offend Liu Yu because of Liu Yu... I thought about it and said that this wind should not last long. I really need to suppress him for this opportunity and let him know what kind of etiquette is."
It is normal for Wang Yun to get angry. After all, in terms of identity and power, he is above the Three Dukes, and he is much higher than Liu Qi. Now that he is threatened by Liu Qi, a foreign vassal state, so Wang Yun is naturally extremely unhappy.
Wang Yun has been disliked by Liu Qi for a long time.
Chen Gong was not impulsive. After he thought carefully for a long time, he said: "Tao Fu, in fact, according to Chen's opinion, Liu Qi is not threatening you, he is discussing with you."
"This is a discussion with me? Use Liu Yu to suppress me?"
Chen Gong shook his head and said, "No, Liu Boyu is just telling the Taifu that if the Taifu does not allow his candidates to submit, he can only ask the Taifu for help. The Taifu is now fighting in Guanzhong. Once he wins, all matters in Guanzhong and Liangzhou will be decided by the Taifu on the front line. At that time, this favorable favor will not fall into the Taifu."
Wang Yun was very unhappy when he heard this.
What is the difference between this and threatening him?
As if seeing Wang Yun's unhappiness, Chen Gong began to patiently advise him: "Taifu, in Chen Gong's opinion, this is not a threat, and Liu Qi is asking the Taifu to make the best choice based on the situation of the court and the current situation."
Wang Yun pinched his palm and said, "What if I don't choose Liu Qi to guard Liangzhou for the court?"
"Who dares to ask the Grand Tutor, Liu Qi does not guard Liangzhou, and with the current strength of the court, who should govern Liangzhou?"
Wang Yun was stunned when he heard this.
This time, if Guanzhong is successful and Guanzhong is taken, the land of the Three Auxiliary will become Luoyang's rear in the west, and the thousands of miles of fertile land in Guanzhong can become the capital of the court to govern the world.
But the problem is that Liangzhou is to the west of Guanzhong.
Guanzhong can be taken, but it is now more than the burden that the court can bear if it directly sends troops to govern Liangzhou.
Although the place in Liangzhou was rich in war horses, it was rebellious frequently, but its productivity was extremely low. Since the time of Emperor Xiaoling, the taxes that the court could obtain in Liangzhou were far inferior to the expenses of sending troops to suppress the rebellion. For the court, the vast territory of the ten counties in Liangzhou had always been a loss-making business.
This even led to the Han Dynasty's court once trying to give up the ten counties of Liangzhou.
The court has risen again in Luoyang for less than two years, and Guanzhong has not been fully included, and its strength needs to be restored. Under such circumstances, the court cannot distribute troops to guard Liangzhou.
Without strong troops and resources, Liangzhou is a cave without ground, and the court needs to continuously invest in it.
Judging from the overall strength of the court, it is still relatively difficult.
Taking Guanzhong is the primary urgent need for the court at present.
Wang Yun is also a political strongman. He quickly figured out the pros and cons and fell silent immediately.
After a while, Wang Yun slowly spoke, "If you don't care about the ten counties of Liangzhou..."
Chen Gongyan said: "Dong Zhuo, Li Jue, Guo Si, and Han Sui, although they are fierce, at least they can still hold back the situation when they were in Liangzhou. If these people were dead, the court would allow the ten counties of Liangzhou. The Qiang people there were short of food and clothing, and they were not able to understand the king's life. They have repeatedly rebelled and disturbed the border for a hundred years... After a few years, it is difficult to guarantee that there will be no more Han Sui, Dong Zhuo, Beigong Boyu, Bian Zhang, and Li Wenhou..."
Wang Yun rubbed his eyebrows, looking helpless.
"What do you mean is that you really have to let him Liu Qi manage Liangzhou?"
"With Liu Qi in charge of Liangzhou, at least the rear of the court is safe. And according to Chen's opinion, the land of Liangzhou can also involve most of Liu Qi's energy and force him to migrate Jingzhou's troops and food to the northwest. This is also a way to weaken his strength... Taifu, do you think the court can withstand a few winds and rains... More importantly, even if the Taifu does not allow Liu Qi to interfere in Liangzhou affairs, wouldn't the Taishi and Your Majesty let it go? If they insist on letting Liu Qi take charge of Liangzhou, the reputation of the Taifu will be reduced in the court, which is not worth the loss."
Wang Yun looked at Chen Gong deeply and suddenly said, "You are right. Some things need to be based on the general trend."
The court acted very quickly, and soon after, the imperial edict was issued.
The governor of Liangzhou of Fazheng, Pang De's Longxi Commander, Meng Da Hanyang County Magistrate, and even Wu Yi's Wudu County Magistrate this time, the court confirmed them at one time.
Only Yan Xing was appointed General Andi and did not become the governor of Liangzhou.
The court's feedback was also a "three mutual law", which made Liu Qi and Yan Xing himself unable to find a reason to refute.
Yan Xing was very unhappy about this matter and even felt a little resentful.
The court used the Three Mutual Law to refute his request, which means that not only the governor of Liangzhou cannot be, but also the position of the county magistrate of Jincheng will be out of hope.
Liu Qi comforted Yan Xing very much, and said that even if he did not have the positions of Liangzhou governor and Jincheng County Magistrate, he would still give the full responsibility of Jincheng County to Yan Xing.
Although he has no status, he can still manage Jincheng legitimately, and Yan Xing can only do this at the moment.
As for the Liangzhou warlords who surrendered by Ma Teng, Liang Xing, Cheng Yin, Ma Wan, Cheng Yi and others, Liu Qi was both in power and powerful. On the one hand, he rebelled deeply for their vassal Han Sui, but at the same time, he accepted their surrender on behalf of the court and arranged for them to return to Xiliang and station troops in various counties.
But how to divide their jurisdiction specifically, Liu Qi handed over this matter to the newly appointed Liangzhou Governor Fa Zheng.
After Fa Zheng came back from Ma Teng, he gave Ma Teng's surrender form and recommended two people to Liu Qi at the same time.
One is Ma Teng's 18-year-old son Ma Xiu, and the other is Ma Teng's 14-year-old son Ma Dai.
"Didn't Ma Teng send Ma Chao here?" Liu Qi asked Fa Zheng in curiosity.
Fa Zheng shook his head and said, "No, the last official was inquiring about the news here. It seemed that Ma Teng's eldest son Ma Chao was unwilling to come, so he could only retreat and ask his second son Ma Xiu and his subordinate son Ma Dai to come as hostage on behalf of Ma Chao."
"Oh, this is quite interesting. I have an order. If my son says he doesn't comply, he can just obey it? It seems that the family style of their Ma family is quite strict." Liu Qi smiled and shook his head and joked, "Where is Ma Xiu and Ma Dai now?"
"Just outside, you can call in at any time."
