Chapter five hundred and twentieth seventh emperor
In history, Yuan Shao concentrated all his troops and went south, aiming directly at Guandu. What was his intention?
It was because Liu Xie, the emperor of the Han Dynasty, lived in Xudu at that time.
To be honest, judging from some real situations, Liu Xie was an important factor in Yuan Shao and Cao Cao becoming their final opponents.
Before Cao Cao coerced the emperor to order the princes, Yuan Shao did not take Cao Cao seriously at all. He believed that his vassal would be suppressed by him forever.
But it was not until Cao Cao took the emperor hostage that he could issue edicts to the princes, which aroused Yuan Shao's extreme anger and panic.
So at that time, Yuan Shao desperately wanted to capture Guandu and attack Xuchang. This is the very important reason.
But now, although Yuan Shao still wants to conquer Xuchang, there is nothing in Xuchang city that makes Yuan Shao excited or interested.
On the contrary, the independent, little emperor in Fan County may trigger an explosive war at any time.
The reason why the emperor is able to live in peace to this day is simply because at the beginning, several princes restrained each other to avoid being attacked by other families.
But now Yuan Shao has completely broken up with Tao Shang and Cao Cao.
It’s your two grandsons who are being beaten! Why are you afraid of attacking together?
Everyone was distracted by the superficial battlefield situation and forgot about this dark hidden line. Only Sima Yi still remembered it.
But this is normal, because Sima Yi was originally a dark and reclusive person.
"Xiaoyi, this time it's all thanks to you. Yes, my teacher's teachings to you are indeed not in vain." Tao Shang sighed, praising him but also warning himself.
Sima Yi smiled shyly and blushed slightly in embarrassment.
"You go down first and let Guo Jia come over."
Sima Yi immediately took the order and left. After a while, he saw Guo Jia walking into the hall again.
"What are you doing? You just let Guo go to do something, and then you called me back! Take a walk..."
Guo Jia casually thought of "walking the animals", but after thinking about it carefully, it seemed that was not the case.
If you say this yourself, wouldn't you be slapping yourself in the face?
"What's the matter?" Guo Jia changed his tone and asked Tao Shangdao.
The potter sighed in disappointment. He was counting on Guo Jiagang to say the word "animal" smoothly.
"Sima Yi just came to tell me something..."
The pottery merchant then slowly explained the reason to Guo Jia.
Guo Jia had a bohemian smile on his face at first, but as Tao Shang's words deepened, his expression began to become more and more serious.
After thinking for a while, Guo Jia then said: "Then what are you going to do?"
The potter stood up, looked at the large picture hanging on the screen behind him, and studied it carefully: "If we go east to Cao Cao's station, if Yuan Jun wants to make any move against Fan Du, he will definitely take this opportunity
Time to take action, we are not allowed to reach the Central Plains, all roads on the east road are blocked, Yuan Shao wants to send a large-scale army and horses to attack Fandu, it must be impossible... If I were Yuan Shao, then the best time to take action is
yes……"
Guo Jia slapped his forehead in realization and said, "Is this when our troops get up and head to the Central Plains?"
Tao Shang nodded and said: "Based on the vision of Yuan Shao and his conspirators, it should not be difficult for us to send troops to the Central Plains to support Cao Cao. But if Yuan Shao really wants to attack Fan Du, he will definitely choose to do it after we pass Fan Du.
At that time.”
Guo Jia said cheerfully: "In this case, we should send out troops as usual. As for whether we should turn back after passing Fandu, or how many people should turn back, it depends on the Taifu's wishes."
…
In August of the third year of Xingping, Tao Shanghui and many powerful generals and advisors from Xuzhou, together with a main force of 100,000, headed west to the Central Plains to assist Cao Cao in resisting Yuan Shao.
When passing by Fandu, the pottery merchant paid his respects to the emperor as he should.
Emperor Liu Xie looked very happy when he saw the pottery merchant.
When he saw the rich gift list from the pottery merchant again, he felt even more satisfied.
He suddenly said to the pottery merchant: "Tao Aiqing, I am going to tell you some news. After you hear it, you must hold on."
The pottery merchant trembled when he heard this.
What's the meaning?
Do you have to hold on?
He took a deep look at Liu Xie.
Could this bastard want to throw a Hongmen banquet and kill him while he was paying tribute? Fortunately, Xu Chu and a group of Tiger Guards were outside the palace.
But the problem is, there has to be a name after all. Why should he kill himself for no reason? Because of what?
Tao Shang was thinking about it secretly, and suddenly he woke up!
Didn't he find out that he was doing the accounting when he was building a palace for him?
The problem is that he has no evidence? He wants to kill himself for no reason?
Although the pottery merchant was not afraid of what Liu Xie would do to him, under this special situation, the pottery merchant felt that he could avoid falling out with the emperor, so he tried his best not to quarrel with the prince.
It's better for everyone to maintain a warm feeling, especially since we are currently in the stage of all-out war with Yuan Shao.
"Your Majesty, I...are unjustly accused!" The pottery merchant shouted and bowed to Liu Xie.
Liu Xie was stunned when he heard this.
Next to the side hall, there were also a group of Liu Xie's civil and military ministers, including Dong Cheng and Fu Wan, both of whom couldn't help but sneer.
"Tao Aiqing, what can you be wronged about?"
The potter raised his head, tears already in his eyes, falling down his cheeks.
When it comes to acting, he sheds tears. Tao Shang thinks that apart from Liu Bei, there is really no one else.
"What your Majesty just said has nothing to do with me! I am willing to make a solemn oath to the sky!" Tao Shang said swornly.
Liu Xie raised an eyebrow and said: "Of course it has nothing to do with you. I gave birth to three children this year, and one of the sons was born to Concubine Tao... What does this matter have to do with you?"
The pottery merchant was stunned for a moment.
What's going on?
Is this what he wanted to say?
Brother, please don’t be so showy next time when you speak? Who are you trying to scare?
But this is also a great joy. I have a nephew who will be a prince!
Fu Wan strolled to the side of the pottery merchant and said mockingly, half-smilingly: "Tao Tutor, your performance is too intense, isn't it? Could it be that you have a guilty conscience?"
The potter turned his head and glanced at Fuwan in surprise.
I don't seem to have any grudges against this bastard, so why is he making fun of me?
Just because he is the father-in-law?
I'm still an uncle!
No! It must be out of bloody jealousy after hearing that I had a prince and nephew!
Such a jealous person should be punished!
The potter stood up with a gloomy face, and without saying a word, he punched Fu Wan directly in the eye socket.
"oops!"
Fu Wan was caught off guard and took several steps back with a "thump thump thump" sound. His nostrils bled and his eye sockets turned blue.
Dong Cheng was shocked when he saw this and said angrily: "Potter! How dare you be so rude in the main hall!"
The potter clenched his fist and made a squeaking sound: "Discourteous? What a joke! He is the one who is rude! He dares to humiliate the prince's uncle in public, which is no different from treason!"
After saying that, the pottery merchant puffed up his chest proudly and said, "Don't mess with me! My nephew is a prince! My beatings on you will be in vain!"
Fu Wan and Dong Cheng's faces immediately turned green.
What is this mess?
Beating in vain? Are you a scoundrel?
Fuwan gritted his teeth, rubbed his bloodshot eyes, and said through gritted teeth: "My nephew is a prince, what's so big about it? My grandson is also a prince!"
"Be bold!"
The potter pointed angrily and said angrily: "It's okay for you to take advantage of me, but you even take advantage of the prince... Your Majesty, you must severely punish this beast. Don't encourage this trend! He takes advantage of the Tian family!"
"
Liu Xie grinned awkwardly and said: "Tao Aiqing, you misunderstood. I just said that I had three children this year. One boy was born to Concubine Tao, one boy was born to Empress Fu, and one girl was born to Dong Guiren.
Born... So, the head of state just said that the prince is his grandson, and there is actually nothing wrong with him."
