When Liu Bei issued a letter to discuss Yuan and sent troops to Jizhou. Cao Cao and Sun Jian invariably raised troops and dispatched to Jingzhou. Liu Bei, who was completely expected of this, could only sigh after receiving the report from the Intelligence Department. He can save Liu Biao once, but he can't save the second time. Almost all of his current strength is passively used against Yuan Shao. At such an urgent juncture, he could only choose to be responsible for the Qingzhou Group and give up opening up the second battlefield.

In the battle of Guandu, Cao Cao in history was able to send troops to fight himself first, and then turn his head to fight Yuan Shao again. That's because the historical self was too weak and lost too quickly. And Yuan Shao is also stupid.

Now that history has changed beyond recognition, if he dares to save Jingzhou, who knows what will happen? It's better to die and not die. Liu Bei glanced at the direction of Jingzhou, and said in his heart, Jingsheng, don't worry, I will definitely avenge you in the future.

Liu Bei led a large army to the battle, but at this time in Qingzhou, a gust of wind suddenly blew. I don't know when, a piece of gossip circulated in the market. It is rumored that the general Liu Bei arbitrarily seized power and was very disrespectful to the Son of Heaven, as if he wanted to replace him. The reason why rumors spread so quickly is that someone mysteriously said I'll tell you a piece of news, don't tell anyone else. Then it was out of control, and countless people pretended to be mysterious, but they didn't know that this kind of gossip had grown wings and flew all over the sky.

Rumors have been circulating in the market for a long time, but they have not had much effect. The people who heard the news, regardless of the officials, were all excited and expectant. Such a performance made the gossip maker hidden in the dark almost not vomit blood.

"Why? Why is this happening? Liu Bei wants to usurp the Han! Shouldn't they rise up and rebel? How can you turn a blind eye! "In a dark room, the master roared like an angry lion.

Why is this happening? Since Liu Bei led the Qingzhou herdsman, he has led people to open up wasteland, divide fields, reduce taxes, and take in countless displaced people and tens of millions of people. The eyes of the people are bright. The world is in turmoil, and the court is powerless. They each perished and became outcasts. No one knows when it will turn into a corpse on the side of the road. It was Liu Bei who gave them a way to live, gave them food, and allowed them to start a new life in Qingzhou. Why should such a person oppose him, why can't he be the emperor? Liu Bei is also surnamed Liu, a serious clan, like Yuan Shu, it is called usurping Han, Liu Bei is the emperor, the world is still surnamed Liu, this Han Dynasty is still the Han Dynasty. Why not?

Some people's small movements are as dazzling as fireflies in the dark. Xun Yu and others in the General's Mansion are very aware of this. The reason why I have been standing still is to see who else will jump out and join forces and stand on the opposite side of my own lord.

In General Wei's Mansion, Dong Cheng was in the study, put away a secret letter, then dressed neatly, ordered people to prepare carriages and horses, entered the palace overnight, and went to see the Son of Heaven. It was a very important matter, and he had to understand the mind of the Son of Heaven before he could make a decision.

Dong Cheng's aunt is the Empress Dowager Dong, and her daughter entered the palace as the concubine of the Son of Heaven. The Dong family is an old relative. Because of this, Dong Cheng deeply understands that his own life and death, honor and disgrace, have been firmly tied to the Son of Heaven. Therefore, in everything he does, he puts the interests of the Son of Heaven and the interests of the court first. In history, it was he who was the first to secretly summon Cao Cao to rescue him because Han Siam disturbed the government. It was also him, after the court was controlled by Cao Cao, who was the first to come out and make the edict incident.

Dong Cheng arrived at the palace of King Qi, opened the palace door, and entered to ask to see the Son of Heaven. When the Son of Heaven saw Dong Chenglai, he was surprised: "Qing came at night, is there something important?" ”

Dong Cheng respectfully bowed to the Son of Heaven, took out the secret letter from his sleeve with both hands, and said, "The minister came for this matter." ”

The attendant beside the Son of Heaven walked to Dong Cheng's side, took the letter, and silently handed it to the Son of Heaven.

When the Son of Heaven opened it for a closer look, his face couldn't help but change color.

In this letter, someone persuaded Dong Cheng to take advantage of Liu Bei's expedition to start an incident to drive away the Qingzhou forces and return to the Son of Heaven. After reading it, a nameless anger in the heart of the Son of Heaven soared.

The Son of Heaven has been brilliant since he was a child, so he was loved by Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty, and Dong Zhuo also made him emperor because of this. Since ascending to the throne at the age of nine, he has experienced many ups and downs. As someone commented, the emperor is rugged and dangerous, floating thousands of miles, the flow of Pingliu is turning, and the danger is prepared, and the emperor has not had it since ancient times. Looking at its nature of love, weak and godly, if supplemented by virtue, it is true to abide by the Lord.

It is precisely because he has experienced too much that the Son of Heaven knows the dangers of this world and the difficulty of the emperor's position. In history, he and Cao Cao constantly fought for power openly and secretly, causing countless bloodsheds. That's because, after the royal family members continue to wither, he is the only one who can carry the banner and inheritance of the Han Dynasty. So he had to fight, he had to fight. And when things could not be done and there was no possibility of reversal, he also obeyed the "public opinion", and Chan gave way to Cao Pi. Such a son of heaven who knows how to judge the situation and know how to advance and retreat, as soon as he saw the letter submitted by Dong Cheng, he knew what the owner of the letter was thinking.

What kind of government is still the son of heaven, really drove Liu Bei away, took control of Qingzhou, and he is only afraid that the situation will be the same as in Chang'an? Such an excuse is nothing more than someone trying to realize his own ambitions. Liu Xuande led the soldiers in front of him to fight bloodily for the world of the Han Dynasty. The people in the rear were bent on pulling back. This is simply unreasonable! Those who create rumors and are bent on chaos can be punished!

As for what Liu Bei wanted to replace himself. To tell the truth, the Son of Heaven at this time really didn't take this emperor's throne seriously. Since he ascended the throne, he has basically been a puppet. And in the face of the stormy Han Empire, he was also helpless. Don’t know whether to wind a watch or bark at the moon. Therefore, the Son of Heaven, who has a soft personality, only thought about returning to Luoyang after Dong Zhuo's death, and then went to the emperor and handed over the responsibility of the world to his brother Liu Bian. It's a pity that he came back late, and when he arrived at the edge of Luoyang, Liu Wei had already died, and Yuan Shao made his nephew the emperor. It is naturally impossible for Liu Xie to give up the throne to his nephew who has not yet been weaned and can't speak. Didn't that give up all the authority in the world to Yuan Shao?

After arriving in Qingzhou, the Son of Heaven was in Qingzhou and felt the vitality that could not be felt in other places in Dahan. The people here are full of hope for life and full of gratitude to Liu Bei, who represents the imperial court. It was only here that the Son of Heaven felt that the majesty of the Han Empire was still there. All this was given by Liu Bei. And the most critical point is that Liu Bei's surname is Liu, and he is the first of the clansmen in the Zongzheng spectrum, and his body has the same blood as himself from Emperor Taizu Gao.

It is not the first time in the history of the Han family that the emperor has changed. Yuan Shao wanted to establish Liu Yu back then, didn't the princes of the world agree? If Liu Bei can really get rid of the old and make the new and recreate the Han Dynasty, what if the emperor lets him do it, it's better than letting Yuan Shu and others usurp it, right?

Moreover, Liu Bei was bent on sweeping Yuan Shao and seizing the north. At this critical juncture, how could you have such a mind? In a flash of thought, the Son of Heaven looked at Dong Cheng and said, "What does General Dong want?" ”
