"It's not good to make a big deal for you! Something is wrong! Dong Cheng leaked, and the Son of Heaven was detained! Cao Cao killed the Chengcheng and the king's costume and the species, all of which were of the three clans. Fu Fu Cao Peng was also beheaded and exposed to the city! ＂

When Deng Xi stumbled and ran to report the news, Liu Biao was in the mansion to entertain the retainers of the martial arts. It is said that Liu Biao is good at drinking, and it is better to persuade people to drink, so he specially asked the craftsman to create three large, medium and small wine glasses, and the big wine glass is named "Boya", which can hold seven liters of wine; The wine glass is named "Zhongya", which can hold six liters of wine; The small wine glass is named "Jiya" and can hold five liters of wine. Every time he invited guests, Liu Biao would sacrifice these three large wine vessels, and he would never stop if he did not pour the guests unconscious. In addition, don't expect to be able to get away by pretending to be drunk, Liu Biao will send someone to use a wooden cane filled with a big needle to pierce everyone who is drunk and falls to the ground. So unless you're so drunk that you're completely unconscious, you have to keep drinking.

However, this time, without Liu Biao's invitation to prick the needle, everyone present was already frightened by Deng Xi's words. Even Liu Biao himself couldn't help but shake his hand and spilled water and wine on the placket of his clothes. However, Liu Biao, who has always paid attention to appearance, didn't care about it this time, but put the wine cup on the case and asked Deng Xi, "Is this serious?!" ＂

"It's true. Deng Xi wiped the sweat on his forehead and added, "According to the report from the spies, the Cao family's father and son went around arresting Dong Chengyu, even the pregnant Concubine Dong's mother and son, and now they are all bleeding!" ＂

Deng Xi's series of retributions plunged the main hall into a deathly silence. The cadres who had shouted earlier to go north to the Qingjun side were all silent with their heads bowed at this time. Only Liu Biao's mastermind, Kuai Yue, pondered for a moment, then decisively turned to Liu Biao and said, "Don't hesitate! Please ask the lord to quickly summon all the princes to crusade against Cao Cao with an edict of clothes and belts! ＂

"Summoning all the princes to ask for Cao? Liu Biao hesitated for a moment and asked rhetorically, "Didn't Xenomorph oppose the Qing Jun's side before?" ＂

Listening to the tone of his own lord with a little hesitation, a few retainers below also followed you and me. "The Son of Heaven is still in Cao Cao's hands. How can we clear the king's side? "Why don't you wait and see for a few more days?" "Cao Cao is powerful, and this matter needs to be considered in the long run. ＂

However, in the face of the conservative mention of his colleagues, Kuai Yue's attitude was unusually firm. But seeing him stand up and walk to the center of the hall, he first looked around at the colleagues present with cold eyes, and then said to Liu Biao in a loud voice, "This time, that time." There is a way that the two countries are fighting each other, and they will not be killed. Fu Xun was the special envoy of the lord, but Cao Cao beheaded him to show the public, which was already declaring war on the lord. Even if the lord and Fu Xun are disconnected. refuses to admit that he has received the edict of the clothes and belts, and with Cao Cao's wolf ambition, will he let Jingzhou go? Therefore, the more he thought that no matter how the lord explained, Cao Cao would take advantage of Dong Cheng's case to go south to rob Jingzhou. Instead of sitting and waiting, it is better to raise your arms and breathe! The lord holds the edict of the garment in his hand. Why are you afraid of Cao Cao holding the Son of Heaven hostage! ＂

"The war in Changsha has not been settled, if you fight with Cao Cao again. I'm afraid something is wrong. Deng Xi interjected timidly. Obviously, Cao Cao's killing in Xu Du had made him tremble.

"Changsha is just a disease of ringworm and scabies. Cao Cao Fang is a big trouble. Kuai Yue interrupted unceremoniously. To be honest, for Deng Xi and others' expressions, Kuai Yue is extremely disdainful. All kinds of signs show that Cao Cao's southward movement has become an arrow on the bow, and he has to make a move. The more weak he is like Deng Xi, the more Cao Cao's arrogance will increase.

Kuai Yue's words were sonorous and powerful, and Cai Mao, Zhang Yun, Wang Wei and other generals nodded again and again. The few people who had said they were going to think about it in the long term were silent. In fact, since Cao Cao's sphere of influence bordered Liu Biao, the skirmishes between the two armies have not stopped. The reason why Cao Cao insisted on letting his eldest son Cao Ang stay in Xudu at the critical juncture of the Battle of Guandu was to prevent Liu Biao from taking the opportunity to sneak attack. Therefore, every civil and military retainer present did not believe that Cao Cao would live in peace with their lord. Including Liu Biao himself thinks. If he is in Cao Cao's position, he will not let go of such a good opportunity.

"Please raise troops on the side of the king! Cai Mao got up and persuaded again. Followed by other civil and military officials, they also stood up and persuaded Liu Biao together with Kuai Yue and Cai Mao, "Please summon the princes from all walks of life to ask Cao!" ＂

Although Dong Cheng's defeat made him unable to coerce the Son of Heaven to make the princes addicted, it was also a feat that could leave a name in history. Come to think of it. Liu Biao finally made a decision and said, "Different degrees, for Lonely, Lone wants to clear the king's side!" ＂

In February of the seventh year of Jian'an, Liu Biaoguang issued an edict ordering the princes of the world to fight against the thief Cao Cao. And at the end of the month, he proclaimed himself a general in Xiangyang, took the stage to point the general, and swore to go north to the side of the Qing monarch. At the same time, Cao Cao used the mouth of the Son of Heaven in Xu Du to enumerate Liu Biao's collusion with Dong Cheng's thieves to exceed, bully the king, and rebel, as if he was about to go south to Xingshi to ask for the guilt.

In just ten months, Cao Cao and Liu Biao each gathered tens of thousands of soldiers and horses on the front line of Wancheng and Xinye. The entire Central Plains was suddenly covered with war clouds, and the princes from all walks of life were even more ready to move.

On the council hall of the Qihou Mansion, Cai Ji looked at the two sternly worded documents in front of him, shook his head with a wry smile and said, "The world is going to be in chaos again." ＂

Since Cai Ji had already communicated with Guo Jiatong in advance, the civil and military retainers present somewhat knew that their master would not turn his back on Cao Cai's alliance for the time being. In addition, the Son of Heaven is still in Cao Cao's hands. Therefore, everyone did not have a struggle over whether they should believe in the edict or listen to the order of the "Son of Heaven". Now what the civil and military forces care about the most is how many soldiers and horses Liu Biao can gather with the edict of clothes and belts, and how many princes can respond. Because this is directly related to the trend of the future battle, and it can even affect the final victory or defeat.

Therefore, as soon as Cai Ji's words fell, Xin Bi, the main secretary of his account, followed and introduced, "At present, it seems that the edict is more popular. It is reported that in Guanzhong, Hanoi, Changshan and other places, there have been several powerful sect parties in response to the edict to fight Cao. So much so that Cao and Liu have not yet fought, and there are already flames in the middle of Kun and Mi. ＂

"Cao Gong is really unpopular in Hebei. Cai Ji sighed with emotion after hearing what Xin Bi said. Compared with the historical edicts, the background of the edicts in the current time and space is more complex and more extensive. In history, Cao Cao first used the edict to kill the imperial party headed by Dong Cheng, and then attacked the northern family and clan in the process of conquering Yuan Shao's father and son. But at present, the edict of time and space is concocted under the confluence of these two forces. It is not surprising that Hebei Haoqiang would use the edict to cause trouble, because they were part of the entire "edict plan". Cai Ji cared about the reaction of the other princes. So she immediately asked Xinbi again, "Then the princes can respond?" ＂

Simbi shook his head and said, "Not yet." ＂

"Not yet? Cai Ji looked back at Guo Jia with a slight difference. Xin Bi's answer was obviously a little different from Guo Jia's previous information, and it was far from Cai Ji's own prediction. In her opinion, Liu Biao once he sacrificed his clothes and belts. At least one or two princes will always rise up in response, who would have thought that it would be duck eggs so far.

Sure enough, Guo Jia also spread his hands and said, "It seems that they are all waiting." ＂

Cai Ji couldn't help but gasp when he heard this, "Wouldn't it be that even Liu Xuande shouldn't be edicted?" ＂

In Cai Ji's opinion, although Liu Bei is not as benevolent and righteous as described in "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", he has always taken the Zhongxing Han family as his responsibility. When it came to such an earth-shattering event as the edict of the clothes belt, Liu Bei didn't even say it. It's kind of unbelievable.

However, compared with Cai Ji's surprised reaction, everyone present did not feel anything wrong with Liu Bei's actions. Seeing Tian Feng waved his hand disapplausively, "Liu Bei is fighting with Liu Biao for Changsha. How could he send troops to help Liu Biao fight Cao because of a cloth and belt edict. ＂

"The princes of the South have been fighting for many years, and they will not give in to each other. Cao Cao went south this time, I was afraid that he would hug the snipe and clam to fight, and the fisherman would benefit. Cui Yan agreed.

Seeing Tian Feng and Cui Yan commenting on the southern princes, including Liu Bei, Cai Ji couldn't help but sigh secretly in his heart. I helped Liu Bei Nandu back then, and I really didn't know if it helped him. Or ruined his reputation. Will Liu Bei and Sun Ce form an anti-Cao alliance as they did in history? is still like Cui Yan's analysis, because of mutual incompromise. Finally defeated by Cao Cao one by one?

Thinking about it so far, he couldn't help but blurt out, "In this way, wouldn't the current situation be favorable to Cao Cao." ＂

"Definitely. Cui Yanwu shook his head and said.

Seeing this, Cai Ji couldn't help but wonder, "What did Mr. Ji Jue say about this?" ＂

"Zi said: There is a way to win the world, and it has its people. The world is the best. There is a way to win the people, to win their hearts, and to win the people. Get their hearts and have a way, and gather with them as much as they want. Evil Bescher. Cui Yan said, turned back to Cai Ji and asked meaningfully, "Does the Lord know what rumors are there in Longkou recently?" ＂

"Cao Cao killed Concubine Dong's mother and son, and imprisoned the Son of Heaven in the deep palace. So what? Cai Ji asked noncommittally. In later generations, whether it is historical books or jokes, there are records about Cao Cao's killing of the concubine and the prince. But these rumors, more precisely the so-called public opinion, failed to prevent Cao Cao from winning the victory.

Seeing that Cai Ji did not take public opinion to heart, Tian Feng on the side immediately said bluntly, "If Cao Cao can win quickly, the people's hearts will not matter." If Cao Cao can't win a quick victory, the princes from all walks of life will take advantage of the people's will to attack him. If Cao Cao is as notorious as Dong Zhuo, how will the people of the world view the lord who has formed an alliance with him? ＂

Seeing that Tian Fenggang's old mistake had been committed again, Cui Yan hurriedly stepped forward to relieve him, "Yuan Hao is just an assumption, and he has no intention of offending the Lord." ＂

"Nope. Mr. Yuan Hao is reasonable. Before, he was lonely and underestimated the hearts of the people. Cai Ji raised his hand to stop Cui Yan, who was explaining for Tian Feng, and turned to the two of them and asked, "But I don't know what the people think of the Cao Cai Alliance today?" ＂

Cui Yan groaned slightly, and then said with a stern expression, "Don't hide it from the lord, the people have a lot of complaints about the Cao Cai Alliance. Cao Cao's killing of women and children, and the act of imprisoning the Son of Heaven caused an uproar in Shilin. Many young scholars in Longkou despise Cao Cao's actions, hoping that the Lord can clear up his involvement. It is true that those who achieve great things do not seek the public, but continuing to form an alliance with Cao Cao will damage the reputation of the Lord after all. ＂

In the face of Cui Yan's warning, Cai Ji fell into deep thought. Cai Ji has always been proud of Donglai's relaxed academic atmosphere. However, a relaxed academic atmosphere requires a relaxed public opinion environment, and a relaxed public opinion environment will inevitably attract various public opinion orientations.

Based on Cai Ji's experience from later generations, she could certainly see that the remnants of the imperial party were joining forces with local clans to incite Shilin Qingyi to build momentum for Liu Biao to unite various princes to crusade against Cao Cao. But in terms of facts, Cao Cao did imprison the Son of Heaven and indiscriminately killed the old and weak, women and children. The young scholars had every reason to be angry and upset. It's a pity that their anger can neither quell the troubled times nor solve any problems. It is the people who can calm the troubled times and solve the problems precisely the ones who make them angry. Even their angry voices were no different from the sounds of mosquitoes and flies in the ears of princes like Cao Cao and Sun Ce.

However, as if to confirm Cui Yan's warning, just when Cai Ji lowered his head and thought, he saw Guo Jia's son Guo Yi rushing into the meeting hall all the way to report, "No, it's not good!" Cao Gongzi and He Gongzi were blocked by a group of scholars on the Zunjing Pavilion! ＂

"What! Cai Ji was suddenly startled, got up and asked, "How can this be?!" ＂

Guo Yi swallowed his saliva and replied in a trembling voice, "All the words, kill Cao Pi, Qingjun's side!" ＂

As soon as Guo Yi's words came out, an uproar suddenly broke out in the hall. Guo Jia frowned and asked his son, "Have you ever reported to the official?" ＂

Guo Yi shook his head and said, "There are too many people blocking the door, and the child is afraid that the officials will not be able to cope with it, so he came to the Hou Mansion for help." ＂

It turned out that Guo Yi had copied books in the Zun Jing Pavilion with Cao Pi and others before, and after a while, he heard that there was a sudden buzz of people outside the Jing Pavilion. Guo Yi was clever, and hurriedly went downstairs to find out. After hearing the slogan of "Kill Cao Pi, Qingjun Side", he realized that the situation was not good, and immediately went straight to the Hou Mansion.

Everyone present heard Guo Yi's answer like this, and they all showed appreciation. Indeed, if the scholar rashly sent officials to drive him away, the spread would affect Cai Ji's reputation. In addition, at present, there are many scholars who have come to take the exam in Longkou, and if it is not handled properly, it is very likely to cause even more commotion.

Cui Yan, who realized that the situation was strict, hurriedly said to Cai Jiti, "Lord, this matter is about Shilin, it is better for the old man to go to the Zunjing Pavilion to persuade all beings." ”

At this time, Cai Ji's face was already sinking like water. The behavior of the scholars obviously exceeded her expectations, and even touched her bottom line. Of course, Qingyi is fine, but when Qingyi openly attacks the people around her, it is not a simple sentence of indignation that can be fooled. What's more, the other party is obviously holding her hostage with Cao Pi. So Cai Ji decisively waved his hand, Huo Ran got up and said, "No! Alone went in person. ”

Seeing Cai Ji's unkind tone, Cui Yan couldn't help but feel deeply worried. After all, even Kong Rong in the sea of teachers has a time when he angrily beheaded the famous man Zuo Chengzu. No one knows what Cai Ji will do when he is angry. However, before he could say anything to dissuade him, Guo Jia on the side had already got up and handed a one-finger-long leather bucket to Cai Ji. Cai Ji took the leather bucket, was stunned for a moment, and then skillfully took out a paper roll from it and unfolded it.
