Chapter Five Hundred and Twenty Nine The Son of Heaven
It is true that Liu Bei still doesn't quite understand what happened back then, and he doesn't know the reason why the pottery merchant wanted to assassinate him. Therefore, in the eyes of Liu Bei now, even if the pottery merchant is not a good friend,
But he is not an unforgettable enemy.
Little did he know that the surprise in the pottery merchant's heart was beyond imagination.
He thought that Liu Bei had followed Gongsun Zan and perished in the battle of Youzhou, but he didn't expect that this old boy survived and even came to see the emperor.
However, in order to prevent this from happening, I had made a special statement in front of the emperor to let the emperor understand that Liu Yu's death was directly related to Liu Bei. Logically speaking, if the emperor saw Liu Bei again, shouldn't he yell at him to kill him?
How could he be appointed as the general of the Tiger Guard?
"Aiqing, it seems like you know the emperor's uncle?"
"Uncle Emperor?" The pottery merchant raised his eyebrows in confusion.
Liu Xie chuckled and said: "General Liu is my uncle. He once saved my life from the mouth of an animal. I later called the emperor's uncle to talk with him in detail and asked someone to check the genealogy in detail, so we found out."
Only then did the potter suddenly realize.
I didn't expect that there was such a powerful relationship among them.
Liu Bei actually saved the emperor's life, and even from the mouth of a beast?
The pottery merchant is now a little angry with the emperor. What do you think is wrong with this unlucky child who has nothing to do? He has to play with small animals!
This is great, is it going to cause trouble? The little animal didn't play, and the uncle came back with a shameless face!
In his heart, he extremely despised Liu Xie for his playthings, but on his face, the pottery merchant still smiled and said: "I congratulate your majesty for recognizing such a heroic uncle. In recent years, your majesty has not only had a son, but also recognized his uncle.
It is true that there are old people at the top and young people at the bottom. It can be said that the young and the old are all gathered together. The time for the resurgence of the Han Dynasty is not far away."
Liu Xie frowned when he heard this and said: "Tao Aiqing, although I know Aiqing that you sincerely congratulate me, the problem is, why do I feel less and less comfortable the more I hear this? I always feel uncomfortable somewhere.
"
"Your Majesty has lived in the palace for a long time and does not know how to congratulate the people. The common people are so chatty."
Liu Xie frowned and thought over there, but Liu Bei stepped forward and said: "From now on, I will serve as a minister in the same palace. I hope that I will give you more advice."
"It's easy to say, it's easy to say. Your uncle is so polite." The potter smiled and waved to Liu Bei.
Liu Bei raised his head and looked at the seven fierce generals behind the pottery merchant. He saw that each of them was full of energy and had impressive weapons. They were either good generals or fierce generals, which made Liu Bei jealous.
"The Taifu has really good men under his command. There are so many powerful generals. Each of these seven generals is brave and good at fighting. No wonder the land of Xuzhou is getting stronger and stronger and is very enviable."
Tao Shang modestly waved his hand and said: "Mr. Xuande is not bad either. Not only are the two fierce generals Guan and Zhang helping him, but he also has the honor of training the new Tiger and Ben army for His Majesty. It is really an honor that most people will never encounter in their lifetime."
The two of them didn't talk much. After being polite to each other, they separated immediately, and Liu Bei went back to training the Tiger and Ben troops.
After the potter accompanied the emperor on a tour of the camp, he sent Liu Xie back to the palace, and then returned to his military camp.
As soon as he entered the military camp, the pottery merchant immediately called for his subordinates and ordered: "The plan has changed! This time, the content of the battle will be added."
When Guo Jia saw that the pottery merchant suddenly changed his plan before the battle, he immediately said: "What do you mean? Why do you have to change your plan before the battle?"
Tao Shang sneered and said: "I originally planned to pass by Fandu this time and secretly deal with Yuan Jun who wanted to kidnap the emperor, but now it seems that just doing this is not possible... I have to
The emperor has brought Pengcheng back! We cannot let him stay in Fandu any longer."
When Chen Deng heard this, he was immediately startled and said: "Master, now Yuan Shao wants to rob the emperor. If we drive back his troops and horses, and then go back to the table and ask your majesty to issue an edict and spread it throughout the world, stating that Yuan Shao is responsible for his crimes, then
Even if Yuan Shao has the reputation of being the fourth generation and the third prince, he is afraid that it will be useless... But now if the Taifu takes the opportunity to rob the emperor and return to Pengcheng, firstly, it will be difficult to explain to Cao Cao, and secondly, at this critical time, it will be difficult to block the world.
Everyone speaks."
Tao Shang sighed helplessly and said: "To kidnap Your Majesty back to Pengcheng and face the world, all we need to do is inform the world temporarily in the name of King Qin. But now that Liu Xie has captured Liu Bei, he still has to train the Tiger and Ben troops. If we don't take advantage of this
The sprout was strangled in the cradle, and there will definitely be another storm in the future. Moreover, my sister Tao Guiren has given birth to a son now. Although he is the eldest son, his status is not as good as the legitimate son born to Queen Fu. I am not in the court, and their mother and daughter are helpless. If anything happens,
Letting someone like Fu Wan or Liu Bei harm us with ulterior motives would be more of a loss than a gain."
Guo Jia heard the words and said: "The Taifu's words are true. Although the emperor will be despised by the world for a while if he is kidnapped and returned to Pengcheng, on the one hand, it can curb the development of His Majesty and Liu Bei. On the other hand, in Pengcheng, the overall situation is under the control of the Taifu.
In the future, who of His Majesty's two children will inherit the throne is not decided by others... This is also for the sake of the world."
The pottery merchant waved his fist heavily and said: "That's exactly the truth!"
…
The next day, the pottery merchant immediately went to court, bid farewell to Liu Xie, and continued to march westward in the name of attacking the disloyal Yuan Shao.
After walking thirty miles away, Tao Shang immediately led a group of elite generals and 10,000 elite soldiers and quietly turned to Fandu, lurking nearby secretly, waiting for the arrival of Yuan Jun.
It is impossible for all 100,000 troops to turn around. The target is too big to hide. Moreover, the remaining 90,000 troops need to be used to attract the attention of Liu Xie or Yuan Shao, making them think that all Xuzhou troops have gone to Yanzhou.
Ten thousand troops were sufficient in the eyes of the pottery merchant. Because the attack on Fandu was too sensitive, Yuan Shao certainly did not dare to do it in a big way. He must have only sent a small number of elite troops.
After 10,000 elites led by Tao Shang and others had been lurking in the darkness near Fandu for several days, the school officials of the school affairs office finally found out that a troop of troops was coming from Hebei to Fandu.
Yuan Shao's soldiers and horses have indeed begun to dispatch. There are about 30,000 soldiers sent over, but they are not Yuan's army, but some foreign soldiers. According to the investigation of the school affairs office, it seems that they are from the Wuhuan people in the north, but they are actually
Crossing the border of Hebei silently.
Moreover, they only suddenly appeared after the Xuzhou army entered the territory of Yuzhou, and quickly sent troops to Fandu.
Yuan Shao is indeed no ordinary person. It seems that he has indeed been thinking about Fan Du's emperor for a long time.
According to the routine, Yuan Shao should have surrounded the city with troops and horses first, and then sent people into the palace to force the palace sage. Moreover, the method of using Wuhuan cavalry was indeed clever. Now that the eyes of the world are focused on Yuan Shao, who will be idle?
Come and pay attention to Wuhuan.
If Tao Shang, Guo Jia and others had not planned this, I am afraid they would not have thought of this.
