The Reincarnation of Lu Bu at the End of the Han Dynasty

Page 894

With the support of the general He Jin, Liu Bian ascended to the throne of God, but Jian Shuo, the captain of the military academy at that time, said that the emperor's last edict was to pass the throne to the little prince Liu Xie.

After Jian Shuo died, no one mentioned it again.

After the new emperor ascended the throne, the ten permanent attendants no longer had their glory, and the He family took control of the government.

At that time, the Son of Heaven was still young and didn't understand anything, and the He family's brothers and sisters had the final say on all important affairs in the court.

Once in the court, the officials were arguing red-faced over a trivial matter, but the emperor was so frightened that he wet his pants on the throne.All the officials in the hall knelt down to plead guilty, but privately said that the emperor was cowardly and embarrassed.

It was precisely because of this cowardice that Dong Zhuo later carried out the treasonous act of deposing the emperor.

Ten years later, this King Hongnong, who has been reduced to dust in the history books, has also grown into a heroic young man.On his face, the timidity of the past was no longer seen, replaced by calmness and indifference, as if everything was under control.

"General Cao is a loyal man. The feat of assassinating and beating Dong is still rumored today. Now that the Han Dynasty is in trouble, and the Lord is covered with dust, General Cao will definitely not sit idly by, so I come here with the audacity to please General Cao sends troops westward to attack the traitors!"

Liu Bian first praised Cao Cao, and then explained the purpose of his visit.

Hearing this, Cao Cao nodded in agreement, and said the same righteous words: "As a Han subject, I live on Han's salary. If I don't want to serve the country, I am no different from a beast! Although Cao is not talented, he can't stand by Watching treacherous ministers stealing the country and changing dynasties!"

Liu Bian was overjoyed, thinking that Cao Cao would agree immediately.

However, Cao Cao changed his voice, sighed, and said very dejectedly: "It's just that last year I fought with Lu Bu in Yanzhou for several months, but in the end I lost to Lu Bu. I lost my beloved son, not to mention the general, the soldiers under my command Even more casualties were heavy, and the vitality was seriously injured, so that they had to withdraw from Yanzhou.

Cao Cao was very helpless and said that the situation had occurred. Now he only has less than [-] soldiers, food supplies and other materials in his hands.

On the other hand, Lu Bu's power has grown stronger and stronger, holding Bingzhou, Hanoi, Hedong, Sili, Xiliang, Hanzhong and other places, plus the newly won Yanzhou, half of the territory of the entire Han Dynasty is under his control. Down.

There are as many as hundreds of thousands of soldiers under his command, and they have surrendered to the countries of the Western Regions. The Qiang people and the Xiongnu are also the only ones to follow.

With such a powerful strength, even Cao Cao, who has always been confident, is a little overwhelmed.

"It seems that General Cao is unwilling to send troops to attack Lu. If so, I don't have to force it. It's just a pity that the imperial edict given to me by His Majesty, alas..." Liu Bian sighed, stood up from his position, and turned around. Walk.

"Do you have an imperial edict?"

Cao Cao said hastily.

He refused to send troops, so he naturally had his concerns.

Although Liu Bian is alive, everyone knows that he is 'dead', even if he believes it, it won't help much.

Most importantly, there is nothing to prove Liu Bian's identity.

This has to be changed in the past, when Cao Cao was still the shepherd of Yanzhou, he might still support Liu Bian and call on the princes of the world to crusade against Lu Bu in the name of Liu Bian.

But now, he himself is a mud bodhisattva crossing the river. If those princes don't believe it or are afraid of Lu Bu and dare not speak out, Cao Cao will definitely end up with the title of treason and will be infamous for thousands of years.

Lu Bu would even give up Hebei and trample Cao Cao down as quickly as possible.

But if there is an imperial edict, the nature will be completely different.

In this day and age, name is the word for everything, and only with legitimate reasons can they win the support of public opinion.

Otherwise, you will be cast aside by the world.

"To be honest, I have also met many people with lofty ideals over the years. Some of them have successfully infiltrated the court and got in touch with the emperor." Liu Bian said half-truth, even if Wei Yang died, it was not without hindering his future plans.

"Your Majesty knows that you are still alive?"

"Of course." Liu Bian nodded.

His younger brother not only knew that his elder brother was alive, but also felt the threat of his existence, and was about to use Lu Bu's hand to get rid of him quickly!

Liu Bian sneered in his heart. Of course, he would not say these words to Cao Cao.

-------------Chapter Dividing Line---------------

"Excuse Cao's boldness, can King Hongnong borrow His Majesty's edict and let his ministers take a look." Cao Cao lowered his head slightly, suspicion flashed in his eyes, and he did not admit it on the spot.

Before attacking Dong Zhuo, it could be used as a coercion, but the current situation is different from the previous campaign against Dong Zhuo.

When Dong Zhuo was in power, he was brutal and bloodthirsty, and he extorted violently, which aroused the anger of heaven and the people.Whether there is an imperial edict, the princes and the people want to drive him out of power.

But Lu Bu is different. Although the family's support for him is not high, he enjoys a very high prestige among the people.If there is no emperor's edict, it will be difficult to convince the people that Lu Bu is a thief who deceived the emperor with only a red mouth and white teeth.

Therefore, Cao Cao still wanted to confirm the so-called emperor's edict with his own eyes.

"General Cao is afraid that I will be deceived, and it is reasonable. In this case, I will show the edict to General Cao."

As he spoke, Liu Bian took out the edict he had prepared long ago from his bosom, and while handing it over, he also had a general understanding of Cao Cao's character: cautious and suspicious.

Cao Cao stepped forward to take it respectfully, and then slowly opened it to browse.

In the letter, Lu Bu counted many crimes such as bullying the emperor and bloodthirsty, and each of them is a crime that can kill the head and destroy the family.Therefore, I call on the loyal and good people in the world to join forces to crusade and help the Han Dynasty.

At the end of the imperial edict, there is a big red jade seal, and there are eight big characters printed clearly: Obey the heaven and live forever.

Cao Cao nodded inwardly, no doubt it was Yuxi.

Returning the edict to Liu Bian, Cao Cao clasped his fists and said sincerely: "King Hongnong, Cao believes in you. It's just that Lu Bu is powerful now, and the emperor and the court are also in his hands. You can't do it alone, you must gather the scattered forces, accumulate water into the sea, and resist Lu Bu together!"

"What General Cao said is even true, and I think so too."

Liu Bian glanced at Cao Cao appreciatively, feeling like a hero, and then asked, "Is there anyone in General Cao's mind to fight against Lu Bu's other forces?"

Cao Cao thought for a while, then laughed and said, "In Xuzhou City, isn't there a Han Dynasty clan relative?"

Liu Bian heard the words, with a smile on the corner of his mouth, tacitly understanding each other.

…………

Xuzhou City, State Shepherd's Mansion.

Since Liu Bei took over Xuzhou, he has been diligent in government affairs for several years, respecting corporals, and doing benevolence and righteousness in the local area, which is deeply loved by the people of Xuzhou.Fame is also growing steadily, from a person with a small reputation, he has transformed into an important person known throughout the country.

In the eyes of outsiders, Liu Bei can be said to have infinite scenery. He is not only a big boss, but also a great official in Xinjiang certified by the court.

However, only Liu Bei knows the hardships and hardships. He has too little foundation in Xuzhou and is restricted by the aristocratic family everywhere. If it is not for the support of the Mi family, it may be difficult to persist to the present situation.

As for the identity of the Han family clan on his head, the court never rectified his name.People like Yuan Shu, who came from a prominent background, ridiculed Liu Bei more than once in public for being a weaver of mats and sellers of shoes, a complete hypocrisy.

Regarding these, Liu Bei endured silently.

Under his command, Wu Guan, Zhang and other powerful generals in the world, Wen Yousun Qian, Mi Zhu, Chen Deng and other outstanding figures advised him.But Liu Bei knew that he still lacked a mastermind who could take over the situation, like Chen Gong under Lu Bu and Xun Yu under Cao Cao, who could point out the way forward for their lords so that Lu Bu and Cao Cao could let go of the game.

Where is my mastermind?

Liu Bei let out a long breath.
