Chapter 660: Luo Gan, Cao Cao, Yuan Shao
The princes watched the emperor run all the way east, standing by and waiting for the situation to change.
Luo Gan was in Qingzhou, and he got the news a little late, but when Luo Gan in Linzi learned the news, he still felt a little incredible.
Wang Qing and Tong Guan really got together, but they didn't expect Wang Qing to be able to turn over and take power with Bai Bojun. I don't know what opportunities the rest of the people will have. Luo Gan was still a little surprised by Wang Qing.
According to the prompts of the system, Wang Qing was in the Baibo army, in the west, and now he is running east with Liu Xie. Fang La seems to be in the area of Jiaozhou in the south, and the current situation is unknown, and the wolf lord of the Liao State, Yeluhui, is in the northern area of Youzhou. Song Jiang is more miserable, still in the southern part of Xuzhou, and the three counties of Xuzhou are in the hands of Lu Bu, and Liu Bei is eyeing him from the side, Song Jiang's chance is very small.
Song Huizong Zhao Gou has come out, but the identity problem is not a big threat, it is estimated that it is difficult to become a prince, after all, Song Huizong can become the emperor because of his identity, it is the choice of the queen mother and a group of ministers, otherwise he can only be a very talented idle king, and it is difficult to become a prince in this troubled world.
In this way, among the emperors of the two great powers of Song and Liao in the Water Margin, and among the four great Kou, only one Tian Hu has not yet been born, and the only ones who can arouse Luo Gan's interest are Ye Luhui, Wang Qing, and Fang La.
However, it seems that Liu Xie is going to get rid of the control of the Liangzhou warlords, but he will still be in the hands of the ministers. Tong Guan and Wang Qing joined forces, Liu Xie's life was not easy, and the rest of the ministers would definitely not sit still, and they would inevitably do something. In this way, even if Liu Xie and the others arrived in Luoyang, the interior was still very chaotic. Then it will be the opportunity of the major princes. Should I send troops to rob the emperor to Qingzhou, and also play with the Son of Heaven to order the princes? Luo Gan was hesitating whether to rob the emperor or not.
Today's world is still the world of the Han Dynasty on the surface, but it has become a situation of division of princes, and then major groups are formed.
The warlords of Liangzhou represented by Li Dao, Guo Yan, Ma Teng, and Han Sui and Liu Zhang's Western Group of Yizhou. The eastern group represented by Cao Cao, Luo Gan, and LΓΌ Bu, the northern group represented by Yuan Shao, and the southern group represented by Liu Biao in Jingzhou and Yuan Shu in Yangzhou. Among them, the Liangzhou warlord belt represented the western group, Yuan Shao, Yuan Shu, Luo Gan, and Cao Cao represented the relative Eastern Capital group, and the rest were neutral.
Of course, this is only a geographical division, and the major warlords are attacking each other and trying to annex the major states and counties.
But when Li Dao gave up the emperor and the emperor arrived in Luoyang, that is, the emperor fell into the control of the eastern group, and who entered the court and obtained the great righteousness, this is a question.
If you look at the court as a prince, he is a second-rate prince, and his strength is very weak, and he can't really command the world at all. Only when one of the princes destroys all the princes and reunifies the world can order be truly restored.
Luo Gan thought about it carefully, he currently has six counties in Qingzhou, the Three Kingdoms of Yanzhou and the Lu Kingdom of Yuzhou, Donghai County and Langxie Kingdom in Xuzhou, a total of twelve counties.
"Coercing the Son of Heaven to order the princes, although there is great righteousness, in fact, it still depends on strength. The current strength is really difficult to support a three-sided battle, and the princes of all sides should be used to contain each other and come one by one first. Still, it's good to try and make trouble. Luo Gan smiled, and immediately ordered Lin Chong, who was in Yanzhou, to prepare to attack Luoyang to see if he could snatch the emperor back.
And under the banner of Yuan Shao, it is not okay to say that Yuan Shao still does not participate!
"Let Yuan Shao and Cao Cao fight first, find an opportunity to annex Southern Xuzhou first, eliminate Lu Bu and Liu Bei, and then look at the situation." Luo Gan thought secretly, and then sent a messenger to let Lin impulse his hand.

Li Dao, under the threat of the eastern princes, gave up chasing the emperor, and Wang Qing escorted the emperor to Luoyang at last.
Liu Xie named Wang Qing as the commander of the cavalry general, and Dong Cheng as the general of Wei, and Tong Guan were both made marquises. Among them, Wang Qing asked Li Kai under his command to lead troops to guard the palace, and together with Tong Guan, he controlled the palace and the emperor.
Of course, Luoyang at this time was almost still in ruins, but fortunately, before Liu Xie arrived, he sent someone to clean up in advance, although he didn't live in the palace, at least he had a house to live in.
Wang Qing united with Tong Guan, relying on the military power in his hands to run the government, which caused Dong Cheng's dissatisfaction, in Dong Cheng's opinion, Wang Qing was born a white wave thief, how could he be a general of the chariot and cavalry, and he knew what to assist the emperor in governing the government, so he was naturally very dissatisfied.
But Wang Qing has soldiers in his hands, the soldiers and horses in his hands have been deprived, and when Dong Zhuo controls them, everyone knows that these people with knives are not easy to recognize, and if they are in a hurry, they will directly enter the white knives and go out with the red knives.
So what to do, it can only be to pull foreign aid, and immediately Dong Cheng wrote to the emperor in the court.
"Your Majesty, the Luoyang Imperial Court is short of grain and grass, and it may be difficult to support the Imperial Court. His Majesty could order the state pastor to transport grain and grass to the imperial court, and the minister thought that Cao Cao, the Yanzhou pastor closest to Luoyang at this time, should be the tribute grain and grass. Dong Cheng thought of Cao Cao in Yanzhou.
At this time, Cao Cao presented himself as the pastor of Yanzhou, and Luo Gan occupied half of Yanzhou, and appointed Wen Yanbo, the famous minister of the Great Song Dynasty, who was summoned, as the assassin of Yanzhou.
Liu Xie felt good: "Qing's words are very reasonable, so he invited Cao Cao to come to the court and offer grain and grass." β
Dong Cheng took the opportunity to say: "Your Majesty, Cao Cao has made meritorious contributions to pacifying the Yellow Turban in Yanzhou, and he is the general of Feng Zhendong to show the emperor's might." β
Liu Xie thought to himself, he couldn't help but give benefits: "Edict, Cao Cao is the pastor of Yanzhou, the general of Zhendong!" β
Although Wang Qing was reluctant, his foundation was not strong, and he only got the title of Che Cavalry General by virtue of the Bai Bo Army escort in his hand, and he was also in charge of the government, but the ministers were bigger than him, and on the surface, he wanted to support the emperor, so it was not good to oppose it too much.
And he is also short of food, if Cao Cao can send food, it would be great.
Dong Cheng wanted to rely on attracting foreign aid Cao Cao to get rid of Wang Qing, but Yang Biao, the chief lieutenant, said: "Your Majesty, although Li Dao and Guo Yan did not chase after them, they are still stationed in Hongnong County, posing a threat to Luoyang, and Luoyang has insufficient soldiers and horses. And do not summon Jizhou Mu Yuan Shao to lead troops into the court to protect the land of Henan. In this way, it can deter the Liangzhou army, and it can also deter the young people. Isn't that good? β
Yilang Lucui also stood up and recommended: "Your Majesty, Qingzhou Mu Luoqian suppressed the Yellow Turbans, crusaded against the Qiang people, and pacified the Qingxu Yellow Turban Rebellion. There is great merit, and it can be recruited to assist His Majesty as an official in the court. β
Subsequently, the major ministers in the court recommended all kinds of princes to enter the court, such as Liu Biao of Jingzhou, Yuan Shu of Yanzhou, Liu Zhang of Yizhou, and so on.
