"You traitor! You traitor!! Why, why don't you die? It only costs me the loss of soldiers and generals, but also the death of my own mother. Now I am even helping the tyrants to harm me. I actually got together with Cao Cao and thieves to murder the emperor. My family is unfortunate. I, Liu Bei, am ashamed of myself."
The ancestors of the Han family! Oh..."
"Brother, brother, don't be sad. This is all Cao Cao's fault. How old is my nephew to have the ability to make decisions? This is Cao Cao's plan. It aims to throw dirty water on you and drive a wedge between father and son.
He knows that the eldest brother is the most loyal to the Han Dynasty, so he wants to make you exterminate your relatives out of justice."
"Yes, brother, it's all Cao's treacherous plot. You can't believe it. I'm going to send troops to Xudu and ask them to return my nephew. I won't let brother be angry."
The red-faced man in parrot green looked very anxious as he watched the crying elder brother. He wished he could go to Xudu to bring his nephew back now.
The other man in black robe looked extremely majestic. He already had a snake spear eight feet tall in his hand and was about to go out to lead the troops.
Of course these are the three Liu Bei brothers. The reason why Liu Bei cried was of course to show his innocence and grievance. Even if no one here saw it, it would still be spread.
As for the now widely circulated story, Cao Cao loved Liu Chan and even intended to adopt him as his adopted son. Not only that, he also wanted to marry his own daughter to him, and he killed the emperor so that Liu Chan could ascend the throne and become emperor in the future.
After all, Liu Chan is seriously from the royal family of the Han Dynasty, and his father is Liu Bei, a famous celebrity. If Liu Chan ascends the throne, he may get the support of two forces, and they are the two most powerful princes of the Han Dynasty.
indivual.
This made the rumor even more convincing. Liu Bei was so angry that he wanted to vomit blood after hearing the rumor. Everyone knew that he cherished his reputation.
Back then, for the sake of his son, Zhao Zilong, a white horse and silver spear, almost got trapped in Cao's camp. Although he escaped later, his wife fell into a well, and he was homeless for a while.
Anyway, in Liu Bei's opinion, his son came at the wrong time, and it was not very smooth for him.
So after his son was captured by Cao Cao, he had no intention of searching for him. This was different from other worlds. From here on, history quietly changed its shape.
Everything was fine originally, but his son was left with Cao Cao as a hostage. He could develop his own power with peace of mind, and everything would be fine.
But now just when his development was going smoothly, he was tricked by Cao Cao. How could they endure this?
Liu Bei: "Second and third brothers, you are right. This is Cao Cao's conspiracy, but it is an indisputable fact that Adou is being used. For the honor of my Liu family, and for the future of the Han Dynasty, I will never watch it.
When he ascends the throne, he will order his troops to defeat Cao Cao!"
Guan Yu and Zhang Fei looked at each other and said excitedly: "Yes, I will obey my lord's instructions!"
Of course, in formal occasions and official matters, formal titles should be used. Even if they are sworn brothers, they can still clearly distinguish the rank of monarch and minister.
After watching them leave with excited faces, Liu Bei looked at the stars in the sky. He didn't know if it was an illusion. He saw his former wife and was stunned. Finally, he thought: "Don't blame me, everything is for this world."
ah."
The Three Kingdoms were not Three Kingdoms, and the princes did not perish too much. Instead, they acted independently and formed a divided situation.
Among them, Cao Cao has the largest territory, followed by Yuan Shao, while Liu Bei has the highest reputation, and Jiangdong Sun Wu is in a corner. Anyway, each of them has played his own banner, and as for the Han Dynasty, all the Han Dynasties have violated it.
Three days ago, a piece of news spread throughout the country, of course it was about the death of Emperor Xian, who was of course Liu Xie's posthumous title.
Liu Xie died at the hands of Cao Cao, but Cao Cao sent a message to the world saying that Liu Xie died of illness and had no heirs before his death, so he passed the throne to Liu Bei's son, Liu Chan.
He said that he and Liu Chan had a good relationship and that they were both Han clan and royal blood. In short, it was just a bunch of nonsense and the throne was directly placed on Liu Chan's head.
Although these princes secretly have long ignored the big man, they still act in the name of the big man on the surface.
There is no way, the common people of the Han Dynasty will recognize the sign of this Han Dynasty, and others will be rebels. Before they have absolute control, they will not cause trouble for themselves.
It's better now. Cao Cao's saucy operation has directly canceled all the apparent suppression. Now everyone is relaxed, and even everyone is still chuckling.
Because Cao Cao is now a public enemy, they can attack Cao Cao under the guise of helping and planning to eliminate national traitors. As long as Cao Cao is killed, they can replace him.
By then, who will be the emperor will not be a matter of words? They can also coerce the emperor to order the princes like Cao Cao does now.
Killing whoever you don't like, and replacing him as emperor, this kind of life makes me feel happy just thinking about it!
"Hahahaha, it's time for Cao Cao, the traitor, to finally make a mistake. Killing Liu Xie's son has angered all the princes in the world. I don't think he will die under the joint efforts of the princes in the near future. It is said that
Our army is ordered to prepare for an attack, target Xudu, and destroy the Han thief Cao Cao!"
When Yuan Shao heard the news, he was so happy that he couldn't sleep well. He summoned his men early the next day, saying that he saw the best opportunity.
Everyone felt that this was a very suitable opportunity, and now Yuan Shao could be said to be the most powerful prince. Even Cao Cao, who had welcomed the emperor, was weaker than him, but Cao Cao had the emperor's trump card.
He, Yuan Shao, didn't want to be a traitor to the country, so he had to lower his head and be a child. He didn't expect that all the good life would miraculously appear in front of him.
Cao Cao abolished his martial arts and killed his greatest amulet. Now Yuan Shao can ignore it. As for Liu Chan, whom Cao Cao promoted to power, he is just a puppet, and he is Liu Bei's son.
Liu Bei himself is not the emperor, so why should his son be the emperor?
Since the Han family's inheritance of the world has been cut off, it is fitting that Yuan Shao becomes the master of the world. The four generations and three princes of the Yuan family may need to be rewritten. It is really appropriate to become the co-master of the world with eternal peace!
The white horse Gongsun Zan and the wolf rider Lu Fengxian who were far away in the border areas also saw the news that Cao Cao had killed Liu Xie. When they saw it, they immediately felt that their opportunity had finally arrived!
Anyone with a little bit of strength felt that this was an opportunity. The real bloodline of the Han royal family was almost dead, and the rest were just side branches.
Although these side branches also have legal inheritance rights, at this time, these princes have their own plans. Wouldn't it be nice to support an emperor under their own control and learn from the current Cao Cao?
The royal bloodlines from all over the country instantly became popular, and everyone was gathering strength to prepare to go to Xudu to seize the imperial court's care.
Since it was Cao Cao who killed the emperor Liu Xie, that means whoever kills Cao Cao will have natural righteousness. This is the initiative.
In Prime Minister Xu Du's mansion, Cao Cao smiled as he watched the reports sent from various places. Sure enough, these people couldn't help but come.
"Send the order and shrink the troops to Xudu. All personnel and materials on the way will be moved to Xudu. The outer city of Xudu will be expanded by 500 miles to build an outer city."
Cao Cao's order was issued, and everyone around him looked at him in surprise. This was to control all the power in Xudu, but if this was done, the logistical pressure would be too great.
Without land, there would be no arable land, and the extra population would have to be supported. With the resources Xudu now has, it simply cannot support it for long.
"My lord, I'm afraid this is inappropriate! Such a large population requires huge expenditures, and it is unnecessary to shrink all the manpower to Xudu. Please think again, lord."
"Fengxiao, sit down and don't be so formal. I know everything you said. I have my own plans. Many people think it's inappropriate to let Liu Chan take the position this time. What do you think?"
As Cao Cao's most trusted advisor, Guo Jia is definitely a person of great weight. When he raises a question, even Cao Cao will not fail to explain it. Of course, it is normal to give up a little before explaining.
After hearing Cao Cao's question, Guo Jia chuckled and took a sip of wine and said: "I know what your lord is thinking. Liu Chan has a special status and has no power to rely on.
Holding him to the throne can not only better control the court, but also make Liu Bei, who has a son in his old age, not dare to act rashly.
There are only one or two people in the world who can compete with the Lord.
Needless to say, when Yuan Benchu was young, he was a hero for a while, but as he reached middle age, he became more and more miserable and became nothing more than a mediocre person.
Lu Fengxian, who is known outside the Guan Dynasty as an invincible man in terms of military force, is certainly invincible in terms of military power, but his personality weaknesses are too obvious and he cares too much about his wife and children at home. Although he is a hero, he cannot help but love his children. He can be a general, but not a master.
Gongsun Zan, this person does have some ability to use troops, but he is not on good terms with his superiors, and his use of troops is very dangerous. Sooner or later, he will die in the battle, so there is no need to worry about it.
Jiangdong Sun Wentai, this man is brave and good at fighting, but his character is too strong and his methods are cruel. It is said that he has killed too much in Jiangdong. Both the Jiangdong nobles and barbarians are very dissatisfied with him. Jiangdong is constantly troubled and cannot be the opponent of the lord.
Needless to say about the other princes in the world, the several state pastors are also mediocre people, except for Liu Bei.
Liu Bei is a very formidable opponent. He is resolute and courageous. He is also good at putting on a show to win people's hearts. He is famous as a clan member of the Han Dynasty. He is also a sworn brother with two martial arts spirits: Qisha and Pojun.
, this is the real disaster.
If Liu Bei can be made to surrender, the world will be mostly stable. Once the lord takes care of the others, Liu Bei will be unable to save himself even with the help of Qisha and Pojun."
After listening to Guo Jia's words, Cao Cao clapped his hands and laughed loudly and said: "Okay, okay, you are indeed my son-in-law. In this world, only Liu Bei can be compared to me as a hero. It's a pity that his son is in my hands now, and
He will ascend the throne soon.
I, the traitor Cao, am a traitor to the country, and he, a member of the Han clan, is about to become a traitor to the country like me. When the time comes, what will he do? Should he commit suicide to thank the world? Or kill his son out of righteousness?
As far as I know, he has no other sons. Yes, he also has an adopted son, but tell me, who will he choose between this adopted son and his biological son?"
A smile appeared on Cao Cao's face. He seemed to have seen the scene of Liu Bei crying bitterly under the difficult decision. It was so satisfying.
Guo Jia also drank wine and smiled, but after thinking about it for a while, he said: "Lord, we all know this, but you haven't said it yet.
Why drag everyone to Xudu? Isn’t this creating chaos?
And we need to occupy more territory to expand our power.
With so many people in Xudu, it's okay for a short time, but if time goes by, trouble will occur."
Cao Cao smiled and there was something that Guo Jia couldn't think of? The more this happened, the happier Cao Cao was. He said with a smile: "You don't understand this. Military expenses and court expenses are extravagant.
Even now, my Cao family is somewhat unable to sustain itself. Gathering wealthy households can increase their wealth, while taking in other farmers will prevent outsiders from finding suitable soldiers.
During the Yellow Turban Rebellion, it was so powerful because the people were hijacked. Now I took the lead and took away all the people and materials around Xudu.
By the way, they came to a solid wall to clear the field, so that they could only see bare rocks and ground.
When the armies of other princes arrived, they would not receive local supplies, and their combat effectiveness was first reduced by 30%.
And we are waiting for work, and when the time comes, we will go straight out and divide our troops into several groups to kill them all.
After wiping out their effective forces, we can conquer them all one by one, so that the big men can return to their original state, and then we can attack the country in the Western Regions.
What else in the world can compare with such achievements? I, Cao Cao, a traitor in troubled times, will be a figure like a champion in the future!
On the territory of the Han Dynasty, I, Cao Cao, will have a colorful stroke, what else can compare with this kind of glory?"
After drinking some wine, Cao Cao became a little moody and expressed his thoughts.
But I have to say that what he said is still very attractive. At least Guo Jia was really attracted by what he said.
but······
"Lord, of course these benefits are good, but how to solve the next problem?
Everyone gathered in Xudu. Not only was it difficult to manage, but food and grass were also a big problem.
Even if it can be sustained for a while, if the princes outside can only besiege but not attack.
There simply wasn't enough farmland to survive the winter and the following spring.
I’m afraid we won’t have to wait until we are attacked, we will be rioted and killed by those hungry farmers!”
"Don't worry, I did this on purpose. I have to let him see my importance. Otherwise, he will think that I am dispensable. Wait until the time comes!"
