Chapter 140 One person's plan is short, and so are the plans of many people

Although Li Yuanhui appeared calm, it had a huge impact on the others.

After all, these major events have happened one after another during this period.

First, the saint Murong Ying, who loved to make trouble, passed away.

The posthumous title and temple name haven't been decided by the officials in the court yet, but the King of Liang rebelled?
This is truly a filial son.

The rebellion of Prince Liang was very powerful because he had the Turks as accomplices behind him.

At the beginning of last year, the Turks surrounded the late emperor in Guangwu. Now they have intervened in the fight for the throne of the Murong family. This has made the governors and provincial governors in various places hesitant.

That's the muddy water, do you want to wade into it?
Originally, these local powerful figures did not set out immediately after receiving the order from the new emperor Murong Chao to go to Luoyang to pay homage.

Instead, he used the excuse of being busy with official duties to shirk his responsibilities.

Now that Prince Liang has rebelled again, Murong Chao, the new king, has even less prestige.

All the provincial governors, military governors, prefects and generals in various places were thinking, "Let's wait and see."

Let's see if the brothers Murong Chao and Murong Zan can quickly decide the winner. If Murong Chao can't hold on, then they will welcome the new king.

If the fight is fierce and the two sides are evenly matched, we should still help Murong Chao. After all, he is orthodox, a generous person, and has a reputation for justice.

Of course, not everyone thinks this way.

Li Yuanhui was very hesitant after receiving the imperial edict to support the king.

From a standpoint, he and Murong Zan, the filial son, are sworn enemies. This dog is definitely not as good as Li Yuanhui if he gets to the top.

So it seems that we should go to support the king.

But even if he moved all his wealth over, it wouldn't seem to change the situation on the battlefield.

On the contrary, if we take advantage of this opportunity to cross the river, there is a great chance that we can swallow up Jiangdong.

If successful, we will be able to own half of Jiangnan.

But doing so would undoubtedly involve a lot of pressure. First of all, the eldest brother was in Luoyang, and the second brother and all the family members were in Chang'an.

If he joins the army, the life and death of these family members will be unpredictable.

Without his second brother, could he have conquered the world? Even if he had, could he, Li Si, control all these arrogant and powerful generals?
Ultimately, it all comes down to one question: Can Li Si shoulder the responsibility and conquer the world?

After thinking for a few days, Li Si was still undecided, so he gathered his staff.

Chief Clerk Guo Fenghe, Adjutants Li Qinglian, Xie Xun, Zhang Fu, Cao Ce, Colonel Yin Gong, and Eagle General Chen Zhen discussed the matter.

In the lobby, people had different opinions.

Li Qinglian advocated going, and that all the troops should go along the Ying River, and then stop in the Yingchuan area to wait for an opportunity to act. He did not make his meaning clear, but Li Yuanhui understood. If it was a situation where both sides would suffer losses, he might reap the greatest benefits by leading his troops to Luoyang.

This is what Dong Zhuo did, trying to take advantage of the situation.

Zhang Fu and Cao Ce had similar suggestions. They could order a general to lead the army north and wait for an opportunity to act. They didn't need to bring too many troops. They could just go there to join in the fun and deal with the situation as if to get the job done.

Yin Gong was more pessimistic. His opinion was to expand the army and prepare for war to prevent the Turks from moving south. He also proposed to build forts and beacons along the Huai River with Shouchun and Zhongli as the base to form a Jianghuai defense line. Basically, he thought that Murong Chao could not defeat Murong Zhan who had the help of the Turks.

Neither Guo Fenghe nor Chen Zhen raised any opinions, and Li Yuanhui understood that it was not that the two did not have suggestions, but that they felt that they should not "consult with others."

Sure enough, after it dispersed.

Guo Fenghe asked for an audience again, "General."

"What can Mr. Guo teach me?"

"Excuse me, General, what are your ambitions?"

The two of them sat opposite each other in the study behind the main meeting hall. Li Yuanhui suddenly wanted to laugh when he heard Guo Fenghe's question.

“What is your dream?”

After thinking about it, Li Yuanhui decided to make a clever move.

“Although I am not talented, I want to spread justice to the world.”

After hearing what Li Yuanhui said, Guo Fenghe's hand holding the teacup shook, and the tea scalded his hand and spilled on his lapel, but he was completely unaware.

Instead, he stared at the young man in front of him, his face full of disbelief.

"General, are you kidding?"

Li Yuanhui chuckled and said, "What do you think, Mr. Guo?"

To spread the message of righteousness to the world. Guo Fenghe certainly knew that this was what Liu Xianzhu of Shu Han said to Zhuge Wuhou when he visited him three times at his thatched cottage in Longzhong.

"The Han Dynasty fell, treacherous ministers stole the throne, and the emperor fell into disgrace. I did not measure my own virtue and ability, and wanted to spread justice to the world; but my wisdom and tactics were shallow, so I was rampant and fell until today."

Guo Fenghe said: "If the general has such a heart, I think he must lead the army to defend the king. In the past, the princes fought against Dong, but did not think about making progress. Only Wei Wu said, 'Raise an army of righteousness to punish the rebellion. The people have united, so why do you doubt it?' So he led his troops to the west. Although he was defeated by Xu Rong in Xingyang, he won the support of the people. Now the King of Liang is doing evil things, recognizing the enemy as his father, and letting foreign enemies interfere in family affairs. People all over the world are ashamed. I think the general should follow Wei Wu's example and send troops to Yingyin to uphold justice."

Li Yuanhui nodded upon hearing this, and then said, "I understand what Lord Guo meant, but we have to wait until the army returns. Let's discuss this matter in the long run."

Guo Fenghe also knew that sending troops was no small matter, so he didn't say anything. He saluted and turned away.

After a while, Chen Zhen asked for a meeting.

"May I ask, General, do you have the ambition to help the world?"

Chen Zhen, who was sitting opposite, looked even more youthful and heroic than Li Yuanhui. Li Yuanhui said solemnly: "Although I am not talented, I want to spread justice to the world."

Still the same word.

After all, this word is really useful and very inductive. It seems to say that I have great ambitions, but it doesn't leave any room for error.

Something like kingly way and hegemony.

Chen Zhen's expression really brightened after hearing this, and then he said: "General, since you have great ambitions, I have three strategies for your consideration. The lowest strategy is to stabilize the Jianghuai area, gather grain and troops, and wait for the right time."

"The middle strategy is to go north to Yingyin, observe the success or failure of Luoyang, and wait for an opportunity to act."

"The best strategy is to go south to Jiangdong, take over four counties, and occupy the land to fight against Dongwu. Duke Tang is in Yizhou, so he will be able to coordinate with the general, and there will be no dissenting opinions from Shu and Wu. Why worry about not accomplishing the great cause?"

After listening to it, Li Yuanhui really felt that his three strategies of upper, middle and lower levels had some merit.

But he had thought about this problem before. The question was whether he could shoulder the task of conquering the world. It was because of his hesitation that he sought advice from everyone.

As a result, after this group of people came up with ideas, their problem was not solved at all, but became even more confused.

After seeing Chen Zhen off, Li Yuanhui returned to his residence in the backyard, feeling upset. So he asked Tan'er to find the maids who could play musical instruments and sing.

play music.

I plan to use music to improve my mood.

Lying on the couch, listening to the music played by several women in front of me, I felt even more annoyed.

Then he waved his hand and asked all those who were playing the piano and music to go down.

Then he pulled Tan'er, who was standing beside him, onto the couch, hugged her, turned over, and held the girl's delicate body in his arms.

Tan'er was a little flustered, her heart pounding with her eyes closed. It was a long time before she opened her eyes, waiting for the next move.

"You have something on your mind?"

"Ah."

Li Yuanhui half leaned on the cushion, looking up as if at the beams in the sky.

"Can I be the emperor?"

"what?"

After hearing this, Tan'er was so frightened that she wanted to sit up, but was held down by Li Yuanhui again.

"You are not joking, are you, Shiro?"

"No, tell me, what would it be like if I were the emperor?"

If there is anyone in this world who has the same stance as Li Yuanhui, who only considers him and has no other constraints, it is probably the girl he is holding in his arms at this moment.

Apart from her, Han Quan, his bodyguard for many years, can barely be counted.

Therefore, Li Yuanhui could speak freely to these two people only.

Apart from these two, whether it is the father, brother, wife, good friends, or a group of subordinates, all of these people have their own positions and interests.

He could only tell these two people about his greatest ambition in his heart.

But Han Quan is not the right person to talk about this.

So he chose to talk to Tan Er. Even though she might not give him the right advice, it didn't matter.

He just wanted to tell someone what was on his mind.

"I don't think it will work." Tan'er thought about it and said very seriously.

"How to say?"

"How can I understand these things? I just feel that you are not good enough."

"Hahahahaha."

Li Yuanhui laughed when he heard this, then reached out and rubbed Tan'er's smiling face and hair hard.

Tan'er was not to be outdone and reached out to tickle him.

The two of them made love on the couch, and after a while they lay down together, panting. Judging from the outcome of the fight, both of them suffered losses.

Li Yuanhui thought of the answer.

At least for now, he doesn't have the ability to take on the responsibility of conquering the world.

This matter still needs the eldest and second brothers to take charge.

Is Lao Zhu strong? Very strong. He can fight against the second brother.

Is Lao Liu strong? Very strong. He can fight Lao Zhu.

But if I don't have any ability and rely entirely on these two gentlemen to conquer the world, it is not certain who will rule the world in the end.

If you have a choice, the best one is Li.
