The first thousand three hundred and eighty-one chapters rely on the emperor to make the princes
Lihuang Wuxin, who was far away in Kuiguan, had just received the Shangyong battle report. He first passed it from Shangyong to Xiangyang Fucheng, and after deliberation with the ministers, it was reported to Lihuang.
Nowadays, there are wars in all directions, and there are so many war reports. It is impossible to report everything to Emperor Li. Moreover, Emperor Li is also fighting outside, and he has no time and energy to deal with their many messages and intelligence!
"Report to the empress! The new emperor of the Han Dynasty, Liu Xie, Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty, has issued an edict, asking the leaders of all forces to gather in Xuchang to discuss the situation of the world and avoid disputes, which will lead to the loss of life and the people's livelihood! During the meeting, those who attack without authorization will be
The great Han is a traitor and the whole world is a common enemy!"
While everyone was busy, the eldest grandson of Lihou, Wujia, closed his eyes to rest in a state of exhaustion. Prime Minister Gao Shilian looked at the jade slips in Fan's hand repeatedly with a strange expression and reported to Lihou!
"Well……"
The people, who were as busy as industrious bees, stagnated in their movements and looked at each other with different expressions, but they all looked at the person who was leaving behind!
"Xuchang fell so quickly?!"
Changsun Wugao, who was closing his eyes, opened his eyes, revealing a heart-stopping sharp light, staring at Gao Shilian and asked in surprise.
Xuchang is a newly built important city of the Han Dynasty. It is very close to the Tianhe River and adjacent to the Five Mountains Songshan. There are also prosperous places such as Changshe, Yingchuan, Tiandu, Runan, and Chenliu nearby. It is not top-notch in every aspect, but it is
It is extremely comprehensive, second only to Tiandu's famous city and Chongcheng.
Nowadays, Tiandu and Xidu have suffered heavy losses one after another. Xuchang is vaguely known as the best city in the world, perhaps Xiangyang Fucheng in Dali, Hanzhong Fucheng in Dashu, Jianye Fucheng in Dawu, Taiyuan Fucheng in Dawei, Yuan's
Xindu Fucheng and other capitals of various forces can barely compare.
Wei Emperor Cao Cao personally led the main force of the Wei Dynasty to strengthen Guandu, and then divided the troops into five groups to analyze the various prefectures, with the goal of directly targeting Xuchang Prefecture.
It has only been a few days. Could it be that the Wei army captured Yuan Shu's many mansions and captured Xuchang?
Then Yuan Shu is too incompetent...
Of course, now Yuan Shu is the only ally of the Dali Dynasty. If he is too incompetent and weak, it is definitely not a good thing for the Dali Dynasty!
"That's not the case... the strange thing is, that's what the oracle said..."
Gao Shilian handed the jade slip to the attendant and asked doubtfully.
Everyone knows that Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty was rescued by Wei Emperor Cao Cao and was on his way to the Wei Empire. But he suddenly issued an order for all the princes and emperors from all over the world to gather in Xuchang. What is he trying to do?!
Divide the territory? Show holy power? Or gain a sense of presence?
What is certain is that no matter what Emperor Xian of Han wants to do, few forces will listen to him...
"Wei Chen heard something my emperor said, which was probably the intention of Wei Emperor Cao Cao..."
Taiwei Xu Shiji frowned and thought for a moment, then suddenly spoke, which attracted everyone's side glances, and then Xu Shiji slowly continued:
"Hold the emperor to command the princes!"
"ah?"
Including Changsun Wugou and Gao Shilian, everyone was stunned for a while. They didn't react for a while and didn't understand the meaning of this sentence!
Liu Jingrong, one of the three princes, the imperial censor, retorted with a smile: "What a joke! Why do you want to hold the emperor hostage to order the princes? Who in the world still recognizes Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty as the emperor, and still wants to order us with imperial edicts? This is not asking for self-humiliation.
?”
"Mrs. Liu, don't forget! Including Emperor Yuechan, the leaders of various forces in the world are still ministers of the Han Dynasty on the surface, and they still share the status and luck of the Han Dynasty. Do they dare to admit that they are disrespectful to the emperor or insult the Han Dynasty?
Lord?"
Prime Minister Gao Shilian's mind changed, and he interrupted and reminded him as if he had a sudden realization. After a pause, he added:
"Of course, except for us! My emperor is the founding lord of the country and the only independent being among the lords of power in the world. He can ignore the imperial edict of the Han Lord, but he will inevitably be criticized and criticized by the people of the world, and even the people will be confused and the military will not be morale.
Steady!"
"What the Prime Minister said makes sense. However, Xuchang is still in the hands of Yuan Shu, right? Could it be that Emperor Wei would give Emperor Xian of Han to Yuan Shu? Emperor Wei spent a lot of money to get it from the remnants of the Dong thieves, so the possibility of giving it away is very low.
!”
Liu Jingrong nodded in agreement, but asked doubtfully, and then continued: "This imperial edict is obviously the handiwork of Emperor Wei. With the power and ability of Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty, it is impossible to spread the edict throughout the world so quickly.
It probably won’t even reach a hundred miles…”
"There are still seven days until the date of the edict! Maybe Emperor Wei is confident that he can capture Xuchang within seven days?" Taiwei Xu Shiji interjected.
Luo Yi, the king of Yan County, said with a frown: "Seven days? So urgent? Even if Yuan Shu's army is incompetent, with Xuchang's power, it will not be difficult at all to defend for seven days, right?"
Although the newly arrived ministers of the Great Li did not participate in the crisis, they were all racing against time to understand the situation of the Great Han, common sense of the Great Han, knowledge of the Great Han and other information.
I have to admit that the Han Dynasty is indeed countless times more powerful than the Dali Dynasty. If there is no "God Burial Mountain Range" as a barrier, any force nowadays, even the regrettable "little thieves" such as Ma Teng and Han Sui in the northwest, can crush the Great Han Dynasty.
Away from local strength and power!
Therefore, the important ministers of Dali will not underestimate any force or anyone in the Han Dynasty, but will overestimate some...
"Hold the emperor to command the princes..."
Changsun Wugu frowned and murmured, looked at Xu Shiji and asked, "When did our emperor talk about this?"
For the person who has followed Wu Xin for the longest time, Changsun Wujia knows Wu Xin quite well. Back then in Dali, Emperor Li had the reputation of a "prophet", and coupled with the situation at hand.
Changsun Wugou believed that Wu Xin was not innocent, and he might have had other intentions at that time. After all, Xu Shiji was a Taiwei and was in charge of the battle!
Xu Shiji recalled with a face on his face: "On the way to Xiangyang Mansion, just after leaving the 'God Burial Mountain Range', I was chatting with the minister..."
After a pause, his expression was startled, and he blurted out in disbelief: "What do you mean, your Majesty... my emperor has already expected what is happening now?"
"My emperor has great talents and great plans, how can it be impossible?" Changsun Wugou asked naturally.
Everyone was at a loss for words and each had his own thoughts...
Gao Shilian was in a dilemma and asked for instructions: "Then this Han Dynasty Holy Edict...how should we respond?"
Changsun Wugou only thought for two or three breaths before decisively responding: "Go! Participate! Since it is an imperial edict and most forces will obey it, we cannot be an exception, so why not go?"
After a pause, without waiting for Gao Shilian to say more, Changsun Wugou looked at Xu Shiji and asked: "What are the casualties of the various forces now? Do you have accurate and approximate data?"
Even though the Four Emperors Alliance launched the attack within a short period of time, the Han Dynasty's military system was relatively high and the casualties were huge.
In the Battle of Fancheng, which was the fastest and easiest, the Li Army seemed to have taken Fancheng easily, but tens of millions of soldiers were left alive, and the "Five Waters Lake" was stained with blood, and the Li Army also sacrificed dozens of people.
Ten thousand!
The Guandu Landing Battle and the nearby major battlefields of various prefectures, as well as the Dongjun Battlefield, Dong'a Battlefield, Linzi Battlefield, Hanyang Battlefield, Xiling Battlefield, Baidi Battlefield, Shangyong Battlefield, Shiyang Battlefield, Liyang Battlefield, etc. were of large scale.
It is a huge battlefield with millions of people. I believe that the casualties in each battlefield will not be less than the Battle of Fancheng, basically even worse!
There are also smaller battlefields in various places, which can be said to be on fire everywhere!
How many armies of the major forces can continue to be consumed like this?!
The forces of the four emperors secretly joined forces to launch a surprise attack and took advantage of it. They would not stop, but would find another way to avoid a violent attack. When they achieved their goal, they themselves would be crippled and let others reap the benefits!
This was the purpose of Wei Emperor Cao Cao, because the Wei army went south with the largest scale, the strongest momentum, and the most fierce momentum. They captured several houses in a few days and probably suffered the most casualties!
Of course, the above is Changsun Wugou’s personal guess!
