Chapter 223 The day of the red cliff will come
Huang Zu!
A general under Liu Biao's command in Jingzhou was guarding Jiangxia, but recently he was killed by Sun Quan's generals, Zhou Yu, Ling Tong and Dong Xi. Jiangxia became Sun Quan's bag!
All this may not be anything to the court, after all, this is a dispute between various warlords, but for Liu Xie, who has turned on God mode, this is a huge signal.
Although the Battle of Chibi was caused by the struggle between the Sun and Liu families and Cao Cao for hegemony, tracing back to its origin, it was still due to the struggle between Sun Quan and Liu Biao for Jiangxia.
After Jiangxia entered the hands of Sun Quan, the balance of power in Jiangnan was broken, and Sun Quan also established a new political area, Xindu County, which was tantamount to poking the lungs of the imperial court.
The untimely death of Cao Cao's son Cao Chong will intensify Cao Cao's emotional fluctuations. In addition, Cao Cao also wants to abolish the three-gong system and proclaim himself prime minister. His move will inevitably be criticized and protested by people from all walks of life in the world.
Therefore, in order to silence everyone in the world, Cao Cao's best way was to win a huge victory, and then he would personally lead his troops south, hoping to surrender Sun Quan.
During the whole process, Liu Bei was actually in an extremely passive role. He couldn't even think of not participating!
Damn it!
wrong!
Liu Xie thought about this, but suddenly realized that he had overlooked a huge problem before, that is, Cao Cao would proclaim himself prime minister this summer, so this time he gave Cao Xiong a title, which does not mean that in a certain way, he gave them
Is there any further condition from the Cao family?
A sick person, a useless person, and a noble title can all be promoted, but what about the other members of the Cao family? After the others have been promoted, doesn’t Boss Cao himself have to be even closer?
Cao Cao is now the Great Sikong, the pinnacle of the three princes and the world's ministers, so what does he want to do further!
Damn it! This is so embarrassing!
For a moment, Liu Xie's face turned into dust, which made Fu Wan particularly curious: "Your Majesty, what's wrong with you?"
"ah?"
Liu Xie shook his head and was not ready to tell him everything he knew: "Nothing, father-in-law, what do you think about the royal family?"
"What's there to say? Let the outsiders have fun with it." Fu Wan said, throwing the silk book on the table: "Although Liu Biao is also a member of the royal family, he has never done anything for His Majesty in so many years.
Why bother with him? It’s really not possible anyway. If he can’t stand it anymore after being beaten by Sun Quan, there’s nothing wrong with him coming back to the court.”
Obviously Fu Wan didn't like Liu Biao, a Confucian scholar, very much. At this point, he sighed and continued to comment on Sun Quan: "As for the blue-eyed boy from Soochow, although I call him a hero, he is really nothing compared to the little overlord.
There are quite a few differences. Although he has good courage, he lacks charm and really can’t find anything that stands out.”
"..."
This comment made Liu Xie feel that his father-in-law's tone was a bit strong. You must know that later generations would evaluate Cao, Sun, and Liu as traitors, heroes, and tyrants respectively.
How come Sun Quan, a person who could win the reputation of a hero, turned into an ordinary person without any charisma or highlights?
When people read "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", they all think that borrowing arrows from a straw boat was the work of Mr. Kong Ming. However, they don't know that in history, it was Sun Quan who actually borrowed arrows from a straw boat and lured Cao Cao to a hundred thousand wolf fangs!
"Father-in-law, according to what you said, you don't seem to care much about this matter."
"What's there to say?"
Fu Wan smiled: "Let's just fight between the two of them. If Liu Biao loses and has no foothold, if you are willing to accept him, let him return to Xuchang. Cao Cao will definitely not refuse. If you don't want to, it doesn't matter.
Cao Cao will not watch him die."
Having said this, he paused and took a sip of tea: "This kind of thing is actually very normal. Just a few days ago, there was another conflict between Ma Teng and Han Sui from Xiliang. The sworn brothers almost met each other at war.
, Cao Mengde said that he would send someone to mediate in a few days, look, isn’t this normal? "
"My father-in-law is right."
Liu Xie smiled and stopped saying anything. He was worried about what he should do when Cao Cao calls him "Prime Minister" in the future...
From that day on, Liu Xie felt worried. As expected, after Fu Wan's birthday ended, many arrangements were made. Many people in the court were being transferred. Zhang Liao and others who had been sent out by him also returned one after another.
But no one entered the palace to meet the saint.
Many troops are also gathering to guard the borders of the areas directly controlled by the imperial court, including the extreme edges of the north and south lines.
All this means that Cao Cao is about to make a big move. Although Liu Xie knows that this will not threaten his position, he also understands why Cao Cao wants to hand over the heavy-armored guards to him.
Those three thousand people are just an exchange!
It can be said that from that day on, Liu Xie was worried every day and put on all the drama, even though he knew that Cao Pi's previous attempts to ask him for help were all nonsense.
However, they refused to be careless at all and actually gave the fireworks pavilion to him. Cao Cao also wrote three times stating that he wanted to remove Cao Pi from the school affairs office, but Liu Xie did not agree.
Time flew by, and about three months later, in early May of the 13th year of Jian'an, a memorial from Dayuezhi made the court feel happy!
The Wuxi Hou Kingdom was re-established by Liu Xie and Cao Cao, and they became the barrier to the northern part of the Han Dynasty. As expected, this time the Dayue clan relied on their own strength to block Wuhuan's army from the Han Dynasty's territory!
Historical changes!
This news is very exciting for both Liu Xie and Cao Cao, especially for Liu Xie, history can be changed, which means there is still a lot he can do in the future!
As for Cao Cao, Da Yueshi's victory this time was equivalent to eliminating his troubles. He did not have to go on an expedition, and naturally Guo Jia did not have to toil with the army. Although taking old wine and vegetable stew, Guo Jia's condition improved. However, the wind and sand in the desert,
If he really followed him, he might still not be able to come back alive!
reward!
In the Changxin Palace, Cao Cao and Liu discussed the rewards for the Da Yueshi, and it was obvious that Boss Cao had spent a lot of money this time.
"Your Majesty, you see this is the reward document written by me. If you have no objection, I will send someone to prepare it." Cao Cao said, stroking his beard.
Liu Xie took it and was stunned to see it. The document clearly stated that in addition to one hundred kilograms of gold, there were also some silver and coral, jade, bronze, lacquerware, dried fruit preserves, jujube citrus, and enough
There are hundreds of them.
