Chapter Four, Five and Six: The Death of Emperor Han
The men in black moved swiftly to harvest the lives of these cavalrymen. With the help of the woods, the men in black were like the god of death. They could not avoid the attack and kill. Their exquisite martial arts caused the Xuzhou cavalry to be in chaos. No matter how Cao Bao shouted, he could not get close.
Man in black.
Seeing several men in black rushing towards him, Cao Bao did not dare to hold on for a moment anymore. The strong fighting power of the men in black made him feel chilled. "Retreat!" Cao Bao shouted from outside the forest and slapped his horse away without any backbone.
Escape, facing the man in black, he did not have any confidence.
After the men in black blocked Cao Bao in the forest, they quickly disappeared not far away. As a force to protect Jia Rong, they wanted to eliminate any dangerous factors on the road ahead of Jia Rong.
The next day, in Xuzhou Prefectural Mufu, Cao Bao all talked about Mi Zhu's rebellion in Xuzhou. He vividly described his heroic performance in chasing Mi Zhu and other rebels, and naturally ignored the fact that the 500 cavalrymen killed by the men in black were wiped out.
Most of the civil servants and generals in the room changed their minds when they heard this. They were on Mi Zhu's side before, but they did not expect such a change. As for what Cao Bao said about Mi Zhu returning to Xuzhou, many officials were unconvinced. The Mi family is a noble family in Xuzhou, and Mi Zhu was even more skeptical.
We are leaving Xuzhou, there is no reason to go back to Xuzhou, but now all the Mi family's property in the city has been withdrawn, right or wrong, of course, Cao Bao and others have the final say.
"Mi Zi Zhong is a hero of Xuzhou. When Cao Cao attacked the city, he tried his best to turn the tide. Otherwise, Xuzhou would not be safe. This matter must be investigated clearly. Don't jump to conclusions until the matter is clear." Tao Qian said seriously, he was sure.
I don’t believe that Mi Zhu would leave Xuzhou. The headquarters of the Mi family is in Xuzhou. Over the years, his contribution to Xuzhou is clearly visible. However, he is old and eager to give Xuzhou to Liu Bei, so he did not pursue it and just said a few words.
Speaking of the situation, he also knew the news that Cao Bao dispatched troops to besiege Mi Mansion. It can be said that Mi Zhu's departure from Xuzhou was closely related to Cao Bao to a certain extent.
All the officials said yes, but their calculations were loud in their hearts. As soon as Mi Zhu left, Xuzhou would lose the power to compete with Cao Bao. Of course, these officials had to think about it.
Tao Qian said: "I want to cede Xuzhou to Duke Xuande. I will report this matter to the Holy One in the future. I hope Xuande will not refuse."
Cao Bao echoed: "Liu Xuande led a large army to come to the rescue when Xuzhou was in danger. He was also a benevolent and righteous man. He made a statement in Xuzhou. He humbled his position and agreed with your words."
There was no opposition among the officials. Mi Zhu had been overthrown and was accused of treason. Now that Cao Bao was powerful, they naturally could not be offended, so they all agreed.
Seeing this, Liu Bei was no longer polite. He stepped forward and said, "Bei was in trouble and was taken in by Lord Tao. I should have assisted Lord Tao, but Cao Cao has been involved. After I become the shepherd of Xuzhou, I will definitely uphold Lord Tao's governance."
The strategy of the people is to serve the people wholeheartedly."
All the officials bowed in unison: "See you, Your Excellency."
Liu Bei said hurriedly: "Without courtesy, I am taking charge of Xuzhou for the first time. I still need a lot of help from you. If there is anything I can't do, I hope you can point it out."
When the officials heard this, they didn't even dare to say anything.
Zhang Fei and Guan Yu watched with gleaming eyes. With Xuzhou, Liu Bei could take the opportunity to develop his strength and have the strength to fight against the princes of the world. With the strength of Xuzhou's troops and abundant food and grass, even if Cao's army came to kill him again, he would be able to fight again.
There is nothing to fear.
The official seal of Xuzhou Mu was solemnly handed over to Liu Bei by Tao Qian. From then on, Liu Bei was Xuzhou Mu.
After taking over Xuzhou, Cao Bao's status was still that of General Xuzhou, but Zhang Fei and Guan Yu were each in charge of their own army, which greatly divided Cao Bao's military power. However, Cao Bao was completely neurotic and his power was weakened. Instead of losing,
, but he was eager to show his loyalty to Liu Bei. His only son died and Mi Zhu was driven out of Xuzhou. He felt extremely happy, but he did not kill Mi Zhu, which made him somewhat unhappy.
Xuzhou is different from Yuzhou. When Liu Bei entered Yuzhou, he had no more than 10,000 soldiers and no generals, but Xuzhou was a large state and had not experienced any wars. The people under his rule lived and worked in peace and contentment, and the military was at its peak. Liu Bei's ambitions grew greatly, and he determined to make Xuzhou his capital.
To lay the foundation, do a great cause, restore the glory of his ancestors, Cao Cao, the hussar general of the Han Dynasty, Liu Bei only felt angry in his heart.
"Little girl, follow me and be obedient, otherwise I won't be polite. You are a lonely little girl now, not in the Mi Mansion." Jia Rong said fiercely.
Mi Huan snorted dissatisfied and looked elsewhere. Jia Rong's threats were automatically filtered.
He stared at Jia Rong with sharp eyes and asked: "I heard my eldest brother calling you general in the carriage before. Could it be that..."
Jia Rong lightly slapped Mi Huan and said: "I have been in the world for many years and killed countless people. Thanks to the people in the world, I gave me the title of general."
"Then I will follow you around the world. Can you think of a famous name for me?"
"Girls are still traveling around the world, so be careful not to get married," Jia Rong scolded.
"I don't care, just give me a name." Mi Huan pouted her mouth and murmured softly.
"Since I am called General, you must be a few levels below me and call me Captain." Jia Rong said.
"Colonel Lieutenant? No, the title of General is not as prestigious." Mi Huan said dissatisfied.
"Whenever you kill a hundred people, I will make you a general." Jia Rong said with a smile.
Mi Huan muttered: "It's not bad for a school captain to be a school captain. What about him? What title is it?" Mi Huan suddenly felt that the title was very interesting.
"They are both generals," Jia Rong said.
"Then I must seize the time to kill people and be promoted to general as soon as possible." Mi Huan muttered.
Jia Rong was so ashamed that he dared to love the eldest lady in front of him, treating killing as eating cabbage and killing him casually.
The group of people rushed to the direction of Jingzhou. He did not want to cause trouble to Liu Biao, but to see how Zhou Tai, Jiang Qin, and Gan Ning were developing. It is said that the Xiliang Army has invested a lot in recent years. Don't wait until then.
It is also very important for the Xiliang Army to pay attention to the development of the navy.
"Where are we going?" Mi Huan asked.
"Going to see an old friend of mine."
"Then what is his title?"
"General Water."
"It's a general again. Why is he General Shui? Then what kind of general are you?"
"General."
"Oh, General, he is very majestic."
Zhang Xiu and Zhao Fan couldn't help laughing while listening to the conversation between the two.
After Wang Yue returned to Yanzhou, he still maintained a reclusive style. Although he was called the Han Emperor Swordsman, he was quite suppressed among officials. He did not have any real power in his hands and only had an empty title. This made Zui Xin an official
Wang Yue was very dissatisfied. It was true that he was a fan of officials. What he wanted was for everyone to bow respectfully when they saw him. Even if he saw scholar-bureaucrats, he would not be looked at by others. He was a walking official.
People from the Jianghu were able to become sword masters because they were appreciated by the late emperor. At that time, they thought the title was quite prestigious, but later they found out that it was not the case. They tried their best and became one of the officials of the imperial court, a scholar-bureaucrat and the like.
The most despised thing was that some people even looked indifferent when they saw Wang Yue, which made him greatly disappointed.
The Emperor of the Han Dynasty had nothing to do one day. When he learned that Wang Yue had returned to Yanzhou, he summoned him into the palace and asked him for advice on swordsmanship. Wang Yue happily obeyed and entered the palace alone.
Ordinary people were naturally not allowed to bring weapons when entering the palace, but Wang Yue entered the palace under the order of the Han Emperor, so the soldiers guarding the palace gate were not in trouble.
The Han Emperor and Wang Yue had no relationship. When the Han Emperor was very young, his father recognized Wang Yue as a swordsman. It was Wang Yue who taught him and his brother swordsmanship. However, the Han Emperor was naughty by nature, so at that time he also
I didn't study hard.
Under careful observation, Wang Yue gradually discovered that the servants and soldiers around him had a pattern in their movements. As long as he grasped it, he could kill the Han Emperor in an instant and then hide it. With his skill, he could escape.
As the saying goes, a skilled man is bold. Under the surprised gaze of the Han Emperor, a sword light mixed with an invincible momentum struck at his neck.
Looking at the Han Emperor lying in a pool of blood, Wang Yue put his sword back into its sheath and said: "You can't blame me for this. You can only blame the guy from Chang'an who wanted your life."
After succeeding, Wang Yue returned to the inn, tidied up a little, and left Yanzhou. As the swordsman of the Han Emperor, he had a lot of freedom and did not have to stay in the palace all day like other officials.
"The Emperor of the Han Dynasty is dead!" Jia Rong glanced at the secret letter from the Xiliang Army, and a smile appeared on his face. This shows that Wang Yue has succeeded. Some people will do whatever it takes to gain power. No matter how righteous, it is worthless in their eyes.
.
The news of Emperor Han's death spread throughout the world within ten days, and the princes were shocked. Cao Cao, who was confronting Yuan Shu, hurriedly withdrew his troops and returned to Yanzhou.
The Han Emperor has no heirs, which means that the royal orthodoxy has ended. But there are so many royal families in the world. Liu Biao of Jingzhou and Liu Yan of Yizhou are the leaders among them. There will definitely be one person who will become the new emperor, the Ninth Five-Year Emperor. With this status
With too much attraction, the influence of the Yanzhou court was reduced to a minimum. The officials were disloyal and looked at Cao Cao with many accusations. Regardless of whether Cao Cao was in Yanzhou at the time, the safety of the Han Emperor was his priority.
After returning to Yanzhou, Cao Cao was completely angered and began to investigate the cause of the matter. He discovered that after Wang Yue entered the palace, the palace maid soon discovered that the Han Emperor was dead, and his face immediately darkened. Wang Yue was the swordsman appointed by the late emperor.
With his outstanding status, there was no reason to assassinate the Han Emperor. Cao Cao couldn't figure out the hidden reason for all this. However, he could not rule out Wang Yue's factor. Finding Wang Yue became the most important thing at the moment.
In anger, Cao Cao immediately ordered his soldiers to post Wang Yue's portrait everywhere and offered a large reward.
The death of the Han Emperor soon had many versions in the world. One of them was that Cao Cao bullied the Holy Emperor. The Holy Emperor reprimanded Cao Cao in anger. Cao Cao was not angry and sent people to kill the Han Emperor in order to occupy the imperial court. There were also rumors that
It's vivid and vivid. Yanzhou is the hinterland of Cao's army and is heavily guarded. Even the palace is guarded by Cao Cao's troops. Why the assassins were able to enter the palace? Cao Cao must be up to something. As for the rumor that Cao Cao was confronting Yuan Shu at the time, there was no delay.
