"A certain leader is in front, please lead the army behind!" Staring in the direction of Yecheng, Yuan Shang said to the personal soldier: "The two armies are ten miles apart, beware of the Cao army's half-way surprise attack!" ”

"No!" The personal soldiers sent by Yuan Tan responded with their fists clenched, and they all turned their horses and ran towards Yuan Tan's main formation.

Seeing Yuan Tan's own soldiers leaving, Yuan Shang clamped his legs on the horse's belly, and rode his horse in the direction of Yecheng.

The Yuan brothers each led their own army to pursue the Cao army, but the Cao army was speeding up at this time and advancing in the direction of Yecheng.

Riding a war horse and walking at the front of the team, Cao Cao asked Xun You beside him as he walked: "If we repel the Yuan brothers, should we capture Yecheng or Liyang?" ”

"Liyang!" Without thinking too much, Xun You said to Cao Cao: "If you beat that Yuan Tan first, you will lose your courage, and Cao Gong can coerce him and ask Yuan Shang together!" ”

"Yuan Tan and Yuan Shang are brothers after all, brothers kill each other, if he refuses, what should he do?" His brows furrowed slightly, Cao Cao was still a little unsure about forcing Yuan Tan to comply, and wanted Xun You to ask.

"Kill Feng Ji, Yuan Tan has already made a plan to fight against Yuan Shang, if our army does not advance into Hebei, the two brothers will definitely fight in the same room!" Smiling slightly, Xun You said: "Cao Gong just rest assured, at that time, Hebei will be promised to that Yuan Tan, and when their brothers have no strength to fight, they will merge in one fell swoop, and then capture Yecheng, and the big thing can be decided!" ”

Nodding, Cao Cao didn't say anything more.

Since Guo Jia was assassinated by the Qin army, he relied on Xun You the most.

Raising his arm, Cao Cao slowed down his horse and shouted behind him: "The whole army slows down!" ”

The soldiers of the Cao army, who were marching in a hurry, got the order and slowed down one after another, and the team was like a huge earthworm, slowly moving towards Yecheng.

The Yuan brothers led the army to pursue Cao Cao, but Liu Wei in Luoyang City was preparing to ascend to the throne with great fanfare.

Since entering Luoyang, Liu Xie, Queen Fu, and Concubine Dong have been placed in a corner of the back garden of the palace.

This is not the back garden where Liu Wei and the princesses live, but for Liu Xie, it is also quite clean.

What satisfied him the most was that no one had ever come to harass him here, and even Liu Wei had never come here for many days.

Sitting in the inner room, Liu Xie and Queen Fu sat at a low table facing each other.

On the low table, there is a chessboard, and the black and white chess pieces on the chessboard are already densely clothed, and this game is also coming to an end.

"Your Majesty really wants to give up the throne to King Qin?" Liu Xie was holding a white child in his hand, really twisting his eyebrows and thinking about where to go, Queen Fu asked him softly.

Twisting the chess pieces, Liu Xie's brows furrowed slightly, and his eyes stared at the chessboard without blinking, as if he was immersed in the chess game, and he didn't hear what she said at all.

He twisted his chess pieces and thought about how to make a move, while Queen Fu looked up at him.

Just when the two of them were silent, Concubine Dong walked in from the outside with a tray in both hands.

On the tray are a ceramic teapot and two tea cups.

When she arrived at the low table, Concubine Dong knelt down and sat down, put the tea cup on the table, and said softly to Liu Xie and Queen Fu: "Your Majesty, the queen has worked hard to play chess, and the concubine has made a pot of tea, and it's not too late to drink a cup and play again!" ”

Before Concubine Dong's words fell, Liu Xie dropped the chess piece in his hand on the chessboard, and said with a smile: "After Fu, this game, but Qing lost!" ”

Looking down at the black and white chess pieces on the chessboard, Queen Fu smiled sweetly and said to Liu Xie: "Your Majesty is a good son, seeing that the concubine is about to win, but she lost to this one." ”

"Majesty!" Kneeling at the low table, Concubine Dong stared at this Liu Xie, and asked him softly: "Empress Fang Cai asked, does Your Majesty really want to give up the throne to King Qin?" ”

"That's inevitable!" First turned his head to look at Concubine Dong, and then looked at Empress Fu, Liu Xie pulled a smile at the corner of his mouth, and said to them: "I have been an emperor for many years, and I have always walked on thin ice, always remembering that I will not be harmed. Earlier, Concubine Dong was almost killed by Cao thief, and I was powerless to save her! ”

As he spoke, Liu Xie stood up and walked to the window with his hands behind his back.

Standing behind the window, looking at the scenery outside the window, Liu Xie sighed lightly, and then said: "The world is the world of the Han Dynasty, although I am the son of the Han Dynasty, but I have no soldiers in my hands, no generals under my command, and the world is heroic, how many people are willing to obey my orders?" ”

When he said this, Liu Xie's tone was very lonely, and the words were in the ears of Queen Fu and Concubine Dong, and the two of them also had mixed feelings in their hearts.

has been by Liu Xie's side for several years, and Queen Fu and Concubine Dong have suffered a lot with him.

When Dong Zhuo was in power, he still had little interference in Liu Xie's family affairs, but only used Liu Xie's name as emperor to give orders to the princes of the world.

was welcomed back to Xudu by Cao Cao, Liu Xie thought that he could return to power, but he didn't expect that Cao Cao's control over him was much stricter than Dong Zhuo's.

Even Queen Fu and Concubine Dong couldn't see it, Concubine Dong joined Dong Cheng and others, intending to kill Cao Cao, but they were betrayed by Liu Bei, and the matter was revealed that Dong Cheng and others were killed, and Concubine Dong almost died at the hands of Cao Cao.

Queen Fu secretly wrote a letter to Fu Wan, but Fu Wan did not dare to send troops because she was afraid of Cao Cao's power, and the matter was lost in the sea.

Standing by the window, looking out of the window, Liu Xie's eyes narrowed into a slit.

After being silent for a long time, he smiled bitterly, turned to Empress Fu and Concubine Dong and said, "This emperor's position is originally that of King Qin!" The first emperor passed the throne to the King of Qin back then, and it was Dong Zhuo who put me on the throne. Wouldn't it be beautiful to give up the throne to the King of Qin, to save our lives, and to be a carefree prince? ”

Having said that, Queen Fu and Concubine Dong both knew that Liu Xie was unwilling to hand over the throne deep down.

After all, being an emperor is not the same thing as being a free prince.

But the army of Great Qin is in the hands of the King of Qin, and the ministers and generals are only loyal to the King of Qin, and when it comes to Great Qin, Liu Xie's throne is even a little unorthodox.

"His Royal Highness King Qin has arrived!" The servants were talking in the inner room when a voice from the guard came from outside the door.

Hearing the shouts of the guards, Liu Xie hurriedly beckoned to Queen Fu and Concubine Dong and said, "I'll wait to go out to greet King Qin!" ”

"No!" Although he was reluctant to let Liu Xie give up the throne to King Qin, thinking that he would be able to live a more stable life in the future, Queen Fu and Concubine Dong's hearts were also a little calmer, and they responded, and followed Liu Xie out of the inner room and went out to greet Liu Wei.

Since Liu Xie was connected to Luoyang, Liu Wei has hardly seen him.

Now that it is approaching the great gift of Chan, Liu Xie is the emperor who wants to give way after all, and Liu Wei also feels that he should have a long talk with him, and make the Zen concession more beautiful, and also convince the people of the world.

Leading Wang Liu and Wang Zhen, escorted by a team of guards, Liu Wei went straight to Liu Xie's residence.

Guarding Liu Xie's residence were the palace guards arranged by Wang Zhen every day.

These palace guards are all the best of the guards, and in addition to being skilled in swordsmanship, their mastery of the surrounding environment is also better than that of ordinary guards.

Seeing Liu Wei coming, the guards guarding outside the main gate hurriedly clasped their fists and bowed to him.

Ignoring the guards, Liu Wei led everyone and went straight into the front yard.

The place where Liu Xie lives is also in the palace, and the breadth of the residence is not much different from the residence of the princesses.

In terms of living environment, it is not even as good as the palace that Cao Cao built for him in Xudu.

But living here, Liu Xie felt much safer, at least no one often came to look for him and forced him to issue some edicts that he was unwilling to promulgate.

As soon as he entered the front yard, Liu Wei saw Liu Xie leading Empress Fu and Concubine Dong to hurriedly run over to meet him.

"Brother Wang!" Running in front of Liu Wei, Liu Xie hugged his fists and bowed to him deeply.

Hurriedly stepped forward and held his hands, Liu Wei said with a smile: "Your Majesty is the Ninety-Five, this king is just a prince, how dare you take such a big gift from Your Majesty!" ”

"Brother Wang is powerful in the Central Plains, and I already want to return the throne to my brother!" Supported by Liu Wei, Liu Xie straightened his waist and said with a solemn face: "In my heart, Brother Wang is the real son of the Han Dynasty!" ”

With a smile on the corner of his mouth, he and Liu Xie stared at each other, Liu Wei knew that although he was sincere, deep down, he would definitely not be willing to give up the throne.

The reason why he chose to give up the throne is that Liu Xie is just to live the second half of his life in peace, and as long as Liu Wei is alive, he will be extremely respected in the second half of his life, and he will no longer have to worry about being restrained.

After all, after winning the throne, Liu Xie is no longer a threat to Liu Wei, as long as others are in Luoyang, whether they kill him or not is not much different for Liu Wei.

really killed him and spread it, but it was a great damage to Liu Wei's reputation.

was stared at by Liu Wei, for some reason, Liu Xie actually felt a little panicked in his heart, and hurriedly lowered his head, not daring to look at him again.

At the beginning, Liu Wei led the army to crusade against Gongsun Zhan, and when he was in the city, he also sent assassins to assassinate him.

Now it is in the hands of Liu Bian.

Although he has the name of the emperor, once Liu Wei is unhappy in his heart, he can kill him at any time and replace him.

At most, it is just to leave the people of the world with a notoriety of usurping power and seizing power.

Lowering his head, Liu Xie only felt that his heart was about to rise to his throat, and he was very anxious waiting for Liu Wei to say what he meant.

Holding his hands, Liu Wei asked him with a faint smile on the corner of his mouth: "Your Majesty has returned to Luoyang, can you still live here safely?" ”

I thought that Liu Wei would ask about the Zen Rang gift as soon as he opened his mouth, but he didn't expect that the first thing he asked was the stability that could not be passed here, Liu Xie was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly raised his head again.

"Brother Wang......" stared into Liu Wei's eyes, Liu Xie sighed lightly and said: "Over the years, I was first caught in Dong Zhuo's rebellion, and then fell into the hands of Cao Cao, and my life has been ......."
