Yuan's army was ambushed by Cao's army, and Yuan Tan and Yuan Shang each fled the battlefield under the escort of a cavalry.

When the two fled from the battlefield, they were not in one place, Yuan Tan led the cavalry and rushed all the way to Liyang, while Yuan Shang was escorted by the cavalry and ran straight towards Yecheng.

The news of the defeat of tens of thousands of Yuan troops in a battle soon reached the ears of Yuan Xi, who was leading 2,000 soldiers and horses to Youzhou.

After getting the news, Yuan Xi, who was walking at the front of the team, grabbed the war horse, turned the horse's head and looked in the direction they came.

Staring in the direction of Liyang, Yuan Xi let out a long sigh, turned the horse's head again, and shouted to the soldiers behind him: "Speed up the march and rush to Youzhou!" ”

Yuan Xi led 2,000 soldiers and horses to Youzhou, Yuan Tan and Yuan Shang were defeated and returned to Liyang and Yecheng respectively.

Cao Cao stationed his army nearby and collected money and grain in Hebei to prepare for the war.

Although the war in Hebei is on the verge of breaking out, it has also temporarily returned to tranquility.

The news of Yuan's defeat again reached Luoyang, and Liu Wei, who got the news, did not say anything, he just smiled slightly, and no longer dwelled on the matter.

If the Qin army advanced into Hebei, it would not be difficult to completely defeat the Cao army with the combat power of the Qin army.

But once the Cao army is defeated, the Yuan brothers will regain control of Hebei, and the Yuan family has always been dependent on him, and it will not be so easy to annex Hebei at that time.

Supporting Yuan Xi, Liu Wei only wanted to make Yuan Xi a prince, and in his plan, Yuan Xi in the future was just a bare-bones general, and he couldn't command the army at all.

At that time, the entire Central Plains fell into the hands of Liu Wei, and in the future, he would wave his troops to the south, sweeping away the heroes of the south all the way, and Kuang Fu Han was just around the corner.

Sitting in the front hall, he got the news that Yuan Jun had failed again, and Liu Wei did not say anything.

In addition to him, in the antechamber sat his staff and generals.

Soon after Lü Bu and Wei Yan captured Xudu, Liu Wei also ordered them to be transferred back to Luoyang, and the two were also sitting in the hall at this time.

A pair of eyes all looked at Liu Wei, waiting for him to make a decision to deal with the war in Hebei.

Liu Wei did not mention the war in Hebei again, but said to everyone in the hall: "Your Majesty has discussed with this king a few days ago, and it is scheduled to perform meditation next month to give a big gift, what do you think?" ”

"His Royal Highness's accession to the throne is a great blessing for the country, and I congratulate Your Highness!" He had already discussed the day of his accession to the throne with Liu Wei, knowing that Liu Wei mentioned this matter just to make his enthronement more justifiable, Xu Shu stood up, strode to the middle of the front hall, and bowed to the ground.

A group of staff and generals, seeing Xu Shu bowing to the ground, also got up one after another and knelt behind him.

With a smile on the corner of his mouth, Liu Wei raised his hand towards everyone and said to everyone: "Everyone get up, wait until the day of this king's accession to the throne, and then kneel and bow!" ”

Everyone responded, and then they got up one after another.

"Your Highness!" As soon as he stood up, Xu Shu hugged his fists and said to Liu Wei: "I have always come to worship the sky, but I want to climb Mount Tai, but now Mount Tai is not in the hands of our army. ”

Zen gives the emperor the throne, and mountaineering and worshipping the sky is a necessary etiquette.

There is a sacrificial platform on Mount Tai, which is the place where the emperors of the Han Dynasty sacrificed to the sky.

In addition to other places, there are also some places to worship the heavens, but compared with Mount Tai, they are not so orthodox.

After being silent for a moment, Liu Wei frowned and asked Xu Shu, "What does Yuan Zhi think?" ”

"His Royal Highness's accession to the throne is a major event in the world, and you should seize Mount Tai!" Holding his fists and bowing, Xu Shu said to Liu Wei: "Now that Cao Cao's troops have arrived in Hebei, they are focusing on the affairs of Hebei, and they have no leisure to divide their troops to hold Shandong. Once our army attacks, Shandong is at your fingertips! ”

"What do you mean?" Pinching his chin with one hand, Liu Wei did not respond to Xu Shu immediately, but asked someone else.

"It's only a month before His Highness ascends the throne, and I'm afraid I won't be able to catch up!" Pang Tong frowned, pondered for a moment, and then said to Liu Wei: "Your Highness, if you don't conquer in person, when you reach Mount Tai, you will have a great enthronement ceremony!" ”

Pang Tong proposed to ask Liu Wei to recruit himself, and everyone in the hall was stunned.

"No!" Since he joined Liu Bian, he has not made much achievements, stood up, bowed with his fists, and said to Liu Bian: "Your Highness is a body of ten thousand gold, how can you lead the army to the battle?" Shi Yuan's words are too child's play! ”

Everyone had no objection to Liu Wen's accession to the throne, but when it was mentioned that he wanted him to conquer in person, they immediately divided into two camps and theorized with each other.

Liu Wei has become the king of Qin, and he has never seen the staff and generals so noisy, sitting in the first seat, looking at everyone with interest, and not opening his mouth.

"Your Highness!" After arguing, he bowed with his fists and said to Liu Wei: "Your Highness's foundation is in Luoyang, and Mount Tai is just a place to sacrifice to the sky. ”

"What Mr. Fu said is a bit sensational!" As soon as the words fell, Chen Gong, who was in favor of Pang Tong, stepped forward, hugged his fists and said to Liu Wei: "Luoyang is impregnable, and the little strength of the Cao army, let alone enter Luoyang, even if it enters the territory of Daqin, it will not go far." If you want to reach outside Luoyang City, Cao Cao must also have that strength! ”

"I'm afraid the public station is too optimistic!" Tian Feng, who opposed Liu Bian's personal expedition like Fu Zhu, pursed his lips and said to Liu Bian: "Even if Cao Jun can't enter the hinterland of Luoyang, he will disturb in the area of Hedong and Hongnong, and His Royal Highness is in Mount Tai, how can he take care of it?" It is not the same thing to lead the army to fight, and to climb Mount Tai to make a big gift and leave! ”

The staff quarreled, but the camp of the generals was very clear.

All of them were against Liu Wei's personal conquest.

Zhao Yun stepped forward, clasped his fists and said to Liu Wei: "Your Highness, my Great Qin is now strong and strong, and the generals in the hall can lead the army to the expedition, so why do you need Your Highness to march in person?" ”

"Zilong has a point!" Before Zhao Yun could speak, Lu Bu stepped forward and continued: "Your Highness is the body of ten thousand gold, and he is the lord of Great Qin. The battlefield battle is changing rapidly, we are waiting for the general, if His Royal Highness is present, but to be distracted to protect His Highness, it is better to ask us to lead the army to take Mount Tai! ”

Lu Bu's words were very direct, and his words sounded very unpleasant.

When Lu Bu said this, everyone in the hall stopped the noise, and they all turned their heads to look at him in amazement.

His Royal Highness personally marched, and the general had to be distracted to protect, this kind of thing was said by him, if Liu Wei was angry on the spot, Lu Bu was afraid that there would be no good life.

Finding that everyone turned their heads to look at him, Lu Bu was stunned for a moment, and then thought about what he had just said, and suddenly felt that something was wrong, and maintained a posture of clenching his fists and bowing, and fine beads of sweat oozed from his forehead.

Seeing the nervousness on Lu Bu's face, Liu Wei waved his hand to him with a smile, and said to everyone: "Feng Xian's words are reasonable, just now what you said, this king has also heard everything!" ”

In what Liu Wei said, he didn't mean to blame Lu Bu, so Lu Bu breathed a sigh of relief, raised his sleeve and wiped his forehead.

Everyone who stopped the quarrel turned their eyes to Liu Bian, waiting for him to make a final decision.

Looking around at everyone, Liu Wei said with a smile on the corner of his mouth: "It's just a sacrifice to the heavens and ascending the throne, so why should it be in Mount Tai?" Mount Tai is far away, our army is on the march, and it is difficult to take it without more than a month! Even if this king is personally recruited, I am afraid that he will not be able to catch up with the time! ”

Saying these words, Liu Wei's intention was very obvious, and he did not intend to conquer Mount Tai in person.

Fu Zhu, Tian Feng and other staff members who opposed his personal conquest glanced at each other and breathed a sigh of relief.

And Pang Tong, Chen Gong and others who were in favor of his personal expedition showed a touch of disappointment on their faces.

After looking around at the crowd, Liu Wei stood up and said to them: "Pass the order, build a Zen platform in Songshan on the same day, and this king will ascend the throne in Songshan!" ”

Liu Wei's order was issued, and everyone in the hall bowed down with their fists and responded in unison.

"Let's go!" Waving his hand to everyone, Liu Wei took the lead in leaving the first seat, accompanied by Wang Liu and Wang Zhen, and strode to the door of the front hall.

watched him leave, until his back disappeared in the doorway, and then everyone walked out of the hall.

Leading Wang Liu and Wang Zhen, Liu Wei walked out of the front hall, entered the back garden, and walked straight towards Tang Ji's bedroom.

When he was the emperor back then, Tang Ji was the only princess who witnessed him on the throne.

Now he is about to re-ascend the throne, this kind of glory, except for Tang Ji, no one can comprehend it.

Walking on the path in the back garden, Liu Wei looked at the scenery on both sides while walking, as if talking to himself: "This place is not much different from the Luoyang Palace back then!" ”

"Your Highness! The palace was rebuilt in Luoyang Palace! Following behind Liu Wei, Wang Zhen whispered: "Although there are many differences, most of the boundaries are the same as the palace of the year!" ”

Walking in front, Liu Wei nodded and said to Wang Zhen and Wang Liu: "Every time this king walks in the back garden of the palace, he always thinks of the time when he fled Luoyang. If it weren't for the nine deaths of the day, how could today's Great Qin? ”

Following behind Liu Wei and looking at the scenery on both sides with him, Wang Liu never said a word, but Wang Zhen said to him: "Your Royal Highness was alone that day, and left Luoyang with the powerless Tang princess, and at this time, it was later spread out, and many heroes in the world regarded His Royal Highness as a god!" ”

Smiling slightly, Liu Wei didn't speak again.

He knew very well that Wang Zhen's words were by no means sycophants.

When I fled Luoyang back then, the scene of nine deaths and a lifetime is still vivid when I think about it now.

Every time he recalls the scene of that day, Liu Wei will feel helpless.

The good Han Dynasty was trampled like this by the Second Emperor Huan Ling.

If it weren't for those two mediocre emperors first, he would have been able to do a good job for decades when he came to this era, ******** where would he need to fight like now!

Surrounded by Wang Liu, Wang Zhen and a group of guards, Liu Wei walked along the path and went straight to Tang Ji's residence.

Before he arrived outside the door of the dormitory, Liu Wei heard the sound of Yaoqin coming from inside.

He stopped, listened carefully, and said to Wang Liu and Wang Zhen behind him: "Zhao Ji is actually here!" ”
