When he heard the news of Liu Xie's death, Wang Xuan was also stunned. Why did he die?
Why did you die?
Why are you dead now?
Besides...this has nothing to do with me, right?
Calculating the time silently in his mind, he wiped out the last trace of luck in the Eastern Han Dynasty ten days ago, and Liu Xie died ten days ago...
Haha, the corners of Wang Xuan's mouth twitched, it was just a coincidence!
However, Liu Xie's death will inevitably cause chaos in the world, and the time for war between princes will suddenly advance, and compared with normal history, the chaos will intensify.
At least, all the princes have lost their last trace of scruples. They no longer have to worry about their righteousness and reputation if they want to take action. It is equivalent to tearing off the last fig leaf.
Now it's better, there is no need for the wife Cao to hold the emperor hostage to order the princes, let's just let go and fight!
The situation is unpredictable, and Wang Xuan can no longer stay at home every day. Of course, all the luck he should have sucked has been exhausted, and it is time to come out and take charge of the overall situation.
News from all sides came out one after another. First came Li Jue and Guo Si's Chang'an. Wang Xuan had arranged a plan to exchange horses, cattle and sheep for food, which had stabilized the situation around Chang'an. Now Liu Xie died, and Ma Teng and Han Sui made trouble again.
Woke up.
Moreover, he had the support of Zhang Lu of Hanzhong behind him, and he didn’t know who gave him the courage. Could it be that he still wanted to compete in the world?
Immediately afterwards, Liu Biao secretly contacted Zhang Ji and Lu Bu, hoping to gain their support. As for what they supported, it was self-evident. This guy didn't know what he was thinking. He is old and his heart is not old.
Yuan Shao was thinking about establishing a new emperor again, and he didn't know why he was so addicted to this matter.
Yuan Shu was also ready to make a move. He was blinded by the jade seal in his hand and was already looking for Xiangrui under Manzhi.
Sun Ce was conquering the north of the Yangtze River as usual, and now he had captured half of Yangzhou.
Cao Cao also sent people to Langye, Xuzhou, to recruit his father's family who had taken refuge in Langye during the previous war between Yuan and Cao.
Wang Xuan secretly sent people to pay attention to this matter. After Cao Cao's father dies...well, he is not looking forward to the death of Cao Cao's father.
…
Although the army has been prepared, everything is waiting for Cao Cao's death...
After all, there must be a reason for wanting to occupy Xuzhou, and Cao Cao's dead father is a good excuse.
Wang Xuan felt that he was not that kind of person. He didn't even look at it, and he didn't even send anyone to secretly kill Cao Cao's father!
…
…
"What?" Listening to the information read by Zhuge Liang, Wang Xuan looked in disbelief, "Tao Qian is dead?!"
"Yes, Tao Qian is dead."
"Isn't he in good health?"
"When Cao Song passed by Xiapi, Tao Qian personally hosted a banquet for Cao Song. He drank too much at the banquet and died of a stroke on the spot!"
"..." Wang Xuan didn't know how to complain for a while. Damn it, you are still drinking at such an old age. Is there something wrong with your brain? This is so delicious!
"Subsequently, with the unanimous discussion of all the big families in Xuzhou, we decided to welcome Cao Cao into Xuzhou and attack us for revenge!" Zhuge Liang couldn't help but pursed his lips at the end. Facing this flying pot, he also
Helpless.
"Wait a minute!" Wang Xuan's brows were so furrowed that they were almost tangled together. He looked at the others, including Liu Bei, who were also confused, "What does it have to do with us that Tao Qian drank to death?
We are not selling fake wine!"
"Because Tao Qian drank the wine we sent and drank it to death!" Zhuge Liang spread his hands.
As soon as Zhuge Liang said these words, Wang Xuan's first thought was that someone was framing the blame and poisoning the wine. He then ruled it out. After all, Tao Qian couldn't be the only one drinking, unless he created some kind of mother-in-law changing pot.
A high-tech wine pot, but this wine pot is just a new porcelain made in Qingzhou more than a year ago. There is no porcelain firing technology outside.
There was porcelain in the Eastern Han Dynasty, but it was only the simplest celadon, which was not comparable to the complete firing technology developed by Wang Xuan.
However, after thinking about it, Wang Xuan understood what was going on. If it was a serious Han Dynasty turbid wine, it was basically a drink containing a certain amount of alcohol. It would not matter if you drank too much, but the ones given to Tao Qian were basically 48°
Tao Qian, who is already sixty years old, was not in good health to begin with. He had just started to be exposed to liquor, and it was normal for him to have cerebral congestion after drinking it for a while.
However, Wang Xuan really felt that he had been wronged. When he gave Tao Qian the wine, he really didn't think about drinking Tao Qian to death directly, otherwise he would have just given the 58° drink instead.
It can only be said that everything is a coincidence. Liu Yu died because of Yuan Shao, Liu Xie died, and Tao Qian died because of Cao Cao... Well, when I think about it, I feel much better, but I feel sorry for Liu Bei.
!
Wang Xuan stretched out his hand to suppress the chattering civil servants and generals, and waited until everyone calmed down before continuing: "I roughly understand what's going on. You really shouldn't drink too much wine, especially the elderly, whose heart and
Blood vessels in the brain are prone to bursting."
Everyone's eyes widened for a moment, staring at Wang Xuan intently.
This has never been said before!
I was also frightened by Tao Qian's incident for a while. It was the first time in history that he drank to death.
"Don't look at me like that. This is not poison. Do you understand it in moderation? Especially when you are older and in poor health." Wang Xuan didn't know how to explain to this group of uneducated people. Could he explain to them what it meant?
Cerebral congestion?
"Enough is enough, too much is not enough. Even if you drink water, unlimited drinking can kill someone!" Wang Xuan waved his hand, "Okay, now is not the time to talk about this. Think about how to deal with Cao Cao's next move!"
Damn, I drank so much that I drank to death... It’s so fucking unbelievable.
"The thing is very clear. This is just an excuse made by a big family in Xuzhou. It is just because the lord has a good relationship with Tao Gongzu, and he is afraid that Tao Gongzu will give Xuzhou to the lord in the end and deliberately frame Xuande Gong." Guo Jia sneered.
He was the first to speak, and everyone nodded.
"In any case, Tao Gongzu helped me a lot in the beginning." Liu Bei sighed, and now he is also having a headache in this situation.
"It's useless to say this now. It's all in the past. The Xuzhou family is hostile to most of us. Xuzhou is now under the control of the family and we will definitely not be allowed to take over. If there is a chance in the future, Mr. Xuande can
Be kind to Tao Gongzu's two sons." Wang Xuan comforted the sighing Liu Bei, and now he was thinking about how to deal with the problem of his wife Cao and the Xuzhou family.
"It doesn't matter what the Xuzhou family thinks. Only others will consider what we think. The question before us now is whether we want to capture Xuzhou or not!"
"Don't think about any legitimate issues. Power is truth. Just eliminate all dissatisfaction!"
Wang Xuan directly set the tone, swept away all those that were there and went straight to the core of the problem.
