At this time, Wang Qing couldn't help but object: "Your Majesty, no, there are ministers to protect you, and Luoyang can be guaranteed to be foolproof." If the foreign ministers are ordered to enter Beijing again, I am afraid that something will happen. The minister thought that Yuan Shao and Cao Cao could be allowed to bring grain and grass to the court, but not to bring a large army. ”

In the end, Liu Xie simply issued an edict to all the princes in the eastern part of the country, asking the state ministers to report to the imperial court and bring grain and grass tribute to the emperor.

The edict soon reached the hands of the princes from all walks of life, and the reactions of the major princes were also different.

Liu Biao of Jingzhou asked his subordinates: "Your Majesty ordered me to enter Beijing and enter the court, and I am not allowed to bring soldiers and horses, but the ministers of the court asked me to lead the troops to the court to eliminate thieves, what do you say I should do?" ”

Cai Mao immediately licked his face and said: "The last general is willing to lead the elite soldiers of Jingzhou to escort the lord into the auxiliary government of the court!" ”

If you can enter the court, won't your status skyrocket, Cai Mao said excitedly.

Kuai Liang shook his head and objected: "Lord, Jingzhou is the foundation of the lord, isn't going to Luoyang at the mercy of others?" If a minister asks him to lead troops, it is bound to be full of internal contradictions and crises, and he cannot go there easily. What's more, the surrounding princes from all walks of life are eyeing each other, and Luoyang is a place of right and wrong. The lord guards Jingzhou well. ”

The Kuai family thinks that Jingzhou is their foundation and can't leave Jingzhou, in fact, they also feel that it is difficult for Liu Biao to become the hero of the world, and it is not good to be directly involved in the limelight.

After thinking about it carefully, Liu Biao sighed and said: "That's it, according to the previous rhetoric, the bandits in Jingzhou have not been extinguished, and the road is different, so I won't go to worship Your Majesty." ”

……

Yuan Shu of Yangzhou, after reading the edict, threw it aside with disdain: "Let me assist the little emperor set up by Dong Zhuo?" Hmph, joke, what qualifications does he have to move me. Ignore it and prepare to attack Xuzhou. Hurriedly sent someone to discuss with Luo Gan, let him send troops to Xuzhou, contain Lu Bu, and Ji Ling sent troops to Xuzhou. ”

Before Liu Bei attacked Luo Gan, Luo Gan asked Yuan Shu to make a sneak attack, but Yuan Shu was influenced by Cao Cao, and finally decided to wait for Xuzhou to change before sending troops. But Xuzhou has indeed undergone great changes, and the lord of Xuzhou has changed from Liu Bei to Lu Bu.

But the time was too fast, and as soon as Yuan Shu's order arrived in Ji Ling's hands, Lu Bu had already sent his generals Zhang Liao, Hao Meng and other leading troops to guard the passes everywhere.

However, Yuan Shu was unwilling at this time, and still wanted to seek Xuzhou, planning to join forces with Luo Gan.

……

Yanzhou Cao Cao's side was the first to get the edict, and he immediately gathered his advisers to discuss what to do.

Cao Cao himself was also hesitating, Xun Yu said generously: "In the past, Duke Wen of Jin welcomed Zhou Tianzi, and then the princes of the world obeyed, and Gaozu mourned for Emperor Yi, and won the hearts of the people in the world. Today, the Son is in trouble and flees in all directions, and the people of the world have nothing to follow. If the Ming Gong can assist the Son of Heaven at this time, this righteousness is in the Ming Gong, and the people of the world will also belong to the imperial court, so that they can lead troops to conquer the world's non-ministers, sweep away the world's bandits, and support the Han family, why worry about the princes dissatisfied? ”

Cao Cao was embarrassed: "But now in the court, the White Wave Thief King Qing has soldiers and horses in his hands, and he is very arrogant, if I enter the court, he will not be harmed by him?" In addition, Henan is very close to Li Dao of Hongnong and Yuan Shao of Jizhou. ”

Xun Yu smiled, touched his short beard, and then pointed his hand to the ground: "Why don't Ming Gong go to Xu County with the capital of the Son of Heaven, so that it can be avoided." In addition, Wang Qing and his ilk are just the remnants of the yellow scarf, and the white wave thief. Since Dong Cheng privately invited the Ming Duke to bring troops into the court, it must be Wang Qing and others who are unpopular, and the ministers in the court want to get rid of them. ”

Without waiting for Cao Cao to speak, Cao Ren jumped out and said, "Mr. said that he would welcome the emperor to our territory, isn't that unpleasant?" The lord now gives an order, and the soldiers and civilians under his rule all obey the lord. If the Son of Heaven and the hundred officials come, one sword decree today, and one order tomorrow. The third duke came to command the lord, and the general mobilized the military horses, so what should we do? Isn't the lord at the mercy of others, at the mercy of command, and not a man inside and out? ”

Xun Yu said solemnly and excitedly: "The lord knows that the Son of Heaven is not a minister, and the Son of Heaven orders the princes to occupy the righteousness and win the hearts of the people, and in the future, it will be unpleasant to sweep away the world under the order of the Son of Heaven!" If it is too late, the Son of Heaven falls into the hands of Yuan Shao, and then he is at the mercy of others, Yuan Shao can order the lord in the name of the Son of Heaven to ask for grain and grass today, and land tomorrow, will the lord give it or not? ”

Cao Cao waved his sword and said loudly: "Cao Ren listens to the order, prepare an army of 30,000, and I will personally go to Luoyang to meet the Son of Heaven, and you are the vanguard." Cheng Yu stayed behind, and Xun Yu went with me. ”

"No!"

Cao's army dispatched 30,000 troops to Luoyang under the leadership of Cao Cao.

……

This Jizhou Wei County is close to this Sili area, and Yuan Shao's forces are also very close to Luoyang.

"Princesses, am I going to enter Beijing by edict, or am I not edicted?" Yuan Shao asked the strategists.

Guo Tu and Xu You had already returned, and Yuan Shao only punished them with some money, and did not embarrass them.

Xu Guanzhong came to persuade him before, he quarreled last time, and this time he still quarreled, I don't know if these people are born incompatible, or if the difference in interests is too big.

Frustration immediately persuaded: "Princes, we have already discussed it before, I thought that the Son of Heaven should be ordered by the Son of Heaven to invite the Son of Heaven to Jizhou, and then the princes can call on the world to be attached in the name of the Son of Heaven, and win the talents of the world, the hearts of the people, and the righteousness of the world." ”

The judge said disdainfully: "No, no, never, if the Son of Heaven comes to Jizhou, where will the princes go?" ”

Tian Feng retorted: "The Son of Heaven is a treasure, how can he see the treasure and abandon it? If the Son of Heaven can let the people of Youzhou follow, he can easily exterminate the thieves and then sweep the world away when he sends troops. ”

Xu You said with a smile: "Among the princes today, the fourth prince and the third prince are the most popular among the people at home. Winning the Son of Heaven is just the icing on the cake, but it is not good for the lord in the future, if the lord is contrary to the will of the Son of Heaven, will the world not say that the lord is a thief? Dong Zhuo won the son of heaven, what happened? Li Dao has the Son of Heaven who may command the world? As long as the main soldiers and horses are strong and sweep the world, isn't it the same as the emperor? Why let a useless son of heaven ride on the head of the lord and affect the development of my Hebei. ”

Fu Zhu retorted here: "My lord, Xu Guanzhong of Qingzhou has already said very clearly, why not do more, but quickly send troops to take the Son of Heaven, otherwise Cao Cao will take the lead." If you make a wrong move, you will lose the whole game. The lord must not hesitate, if the lord is not willing to go in person, he can order the general to go. ”

Guo Tu sneered: "Xu Guanzhong is a person from Qingzhou, and his purpose is just to coax the lord to compete for the Son of Heaven, so that the lord has no energy to attack Qingzhou." Don't be fooled. ”

Fu Zhu was the most enthusiastic in this matter, it was originally like welcoming the Son of Heaven, not to mention Xu Guanzhong's words last time, which made him firm in this matter.

Frustrated to simply come and be rude: "Lord, you can invite the Son of Heaven first, if it's not good, just send it away!" ”

Let's try it first, it's not easy to use, return it!
