A few days later, Liu Wu, the king of Liang, sent an envoy to Chang'an, and as soon as he entered the city, he quickly entered the palace to meet the Son of Heaven.

Listening to the messenger's play, King Liang immediately began to reorganize the army as soon as he received his edict, and at this time the Liang State had entered a state of war.

Liu Qi, the son of heaven, was naturally very happy, and felt more and more that he had written a verbal check for Liu Wu as a "royal brother".

What do you want Liu Wu to do now, as long as the banner of the imperial brother is erected, whether he wants it or not, Liu Wu will spare no effort to do it...............

………………………………………………………………

However, in just a few days, Liu Bi, the king of Wu, who was busy contacting the princes and kings of the world to rebel together, also received several secret letters from Guanzhong.

The letter is full of words, the Son of Heaven ordered Dou Ying to lead troops to garrison Xingyang, and ordered Liu Wu, the king of Liang, to reorganize his army for battle, so angry Liu Bi gritted his teeth.

It was already difficult for the princes' troops to compete with the imperial court, and if they had to attack them unprepared, they could only win, but now that the imperial court is like this, it will become extremely difficult to win.

In this way, Liu Bi had no choice but to rebel against him and forcibly suppress it. He even issued an edict ordering all the generals and soldiers of Wu who were eager to try and excited in their hearts to return to the camp.

These generals originally wanted to raise troops to attack Chang'an with Liu Bi, and when the time comes, they will also seal ten thousand households, and the marquis of thousands of households will return to their hometowns in fine clothes and glory.

But Liu Bi's move poured a basin of cold water on their heads, and they all wanted to enter the Guangyang Palace to ask for their lives, which made Liu Bi anxious, and finally gave an order to behead those who spoke lightly! stopped the footsteps of these generals............

That night, Liu Bi stayed awake all night, climbed the city tower alone, looked at the river under a bright moon, and said to himself sadly: "The widow is now sixty and two, I don't know if there is a chance to take revenge in this life."

However, the kings of Qi and Zhao are the most worried, and they belong to Liu Sui, the king of Zhao. Liu Sui had already sent people out of the fortress several times to negotiate with the Xiongnu, and if he sent troops to do something, he could take the Xiongnu army directly into Guanzhong and attack Chang'an.

But at this time, Cheng Buzhi was only two hundred miles away from Zhao State, and the lightly armed cavalry could rush to him under the city of Handan in Zhao State in one day, and Dou Ying was leading a large army to garrison Xingyang at this time............

Among the kings of Qidi, only Liu Wei, the king of Jiaoxi, has a feud with the imperial court, and the rest of the kings have been grateful to the imperial court since they were edicted by Emperor Wen to establish the country and become kings.

Under Liu Wei's encouragement, these princes and kings also had some ambitions, but at this time, seeing that the Son of Heaven had sent Dou Ying to lead troops to be stationed in Xingyang, many of them had other thoughts.

For example, the king of Qi, Liu Jianglu, and his ilk were already wavering, and they did not dare to make a slight change at this time.

Most of the princes and kings chose to wait and see.

In a few days, Liu Qi, the Son of Heaven, received more than ten secret reports from various vassal states, and learned the reaction of the princes and kings.

Even if he decides, he will issue an edict to cut the feudal country of Liu Bi of Wu State!

In the early morning of the next day, when the gate of Chang'an was just opened, I saw a messenger galloping away with the scepter of the Son of Heaven, and there were two eunuchs and more than ten soldiers behind him.

…………………………………………………………………………

When Liu Bi was alone and sad, he saw an attendant cautiously push open the door of the palace and walked in, Liu Bi saw someone coming in, and immediately scolded sharply: "Didn't the widow just say the day before yesterday that no one is allowed to enter the widow's dormitory!" ”。

But this attendant knew that in the past two days, there had been several crippled attendants who had been beaten by the court staff, and they knelt down and kowtowed, saying, "The king forgives the sins, the king forgives the sins!" The slave and maid have important things to report to the king."

Liu Bi said with a dark face: "What the hell is going on?"

"The King...... Great King, the messenger sent by the Son of Heaven has arrived."

Liu Bi, who was originally sitting on the bed and was angry, stood up suddenly.

He asked eagerly, "Where is the messenger at this moment?" ”。

"At this time, it is already in the main hall of Guangyang Palace."

Hearing that it was the messenger sent by Liu Qi, the Son of Heaven, how could Liu Bi not be nervous, and after thinking for a long time, he only had to go to the palace and go to the main hall.

However, after a while, Liu Bi arrived in the main hall, and saw two eunuchs standing on the main hall behind a man holding a scepter, and Lou Pan, the prime minister of Wu State, was also in the hall.

As soon as he saw Liu Bi enter the palace, the envoy glanced at Liu Bi in front of him and said, "But King Wu is now?" ”。

I saw that Liu Bi was not angry and said: "It's the widow!" ”。

In this way, the confessor carefully took out a silk book from the long box held by the eunuch on the side and said: "Wu King Liu Bi receives the edict."

The attendants on the side and Lou Pan, the prime minister of Wu State, all knelt on the ground to greet the edict, and when Liu Bi heard this, he actually stood in place and did not move.

The confessor said: "King Wu Liu Bi, take the edict!" ”。

However, Liu Bi still turned a deaf ear and did not move.

Seeing this, the confessor said: "King Wu can still think that he is the prince of my Han family! The courtier of the Son of Heaven! ”。

I saw Liu Bi smile and said: "The widow is a Hanchen, but back then, the Son of Heaven gave the widow a few rods, and he didn't worship the Son of Heaven when he saw it, and now he doesn't have to worship the widow who receives the edict of the Son of Heaven!" ”。

As soon as Liu Bi said this, the face of the confessor was blue and green, so he had to read the edict immediately.

"My grandfather, Emperor Gao, pacified Yingbu and Lier as the king of Wu, and built a country of princes with three counties and fifty-six cities.

However, since my father, Emperor Xiaowen, did not go to court, and Emperor Xiaowen was grateful for the love of his brothers and did not want to punish him.

When I came to me, I deeply remembered that King Wu was my uncle, the elder of the princes' clans, and issued an edict to give you a few rods not to go to court. But you don't think about the kindness of the son of heaven in the three dynasties, and you want to have a bad heart, and the courtiers admonish me to kill it, but the Han family takes filial piety first, and I don't want to kill it, but cut the Yuzhang of Wu State, and Hui Ji will return to the imperial court, and Baoer Wu State will be sealed."

After speaking, the messenger closed the silk book and said, "Please also ask King Wu to receive the edict."

The words of the edict of Liu Qi, the son of heaven, were like knives straight into Liu Bi's heart.

Although I already knew and guessed what this edict was, it still sounded a little confused at this time.

Liu Bi naturally knew that the knot between him and Liu Qi, the Son of Heaven, had become a dead knot, even if he silently accepted the cutting of the imperial court like a lamb to be slaughtered, he would eventually die and the country would die......

But now, except for the king of Chu and the king of Jiaoxi, it is difficult to rebel against the rest of the kings to act together............

How can this be? Liu Bi was secretly distressed in his heart.

Seeing that Liu Bi was silent, the confessor leaned forward again and said, "Please also ask King Wu to take the edict."

In this way, Liu Bi stretched out his slightly trembling hand and took the edict from the hand of the confessor.

"King Wu rest assured, in just a few days, the Huiji Taishou and Yuzhang Taishou ordered by the Son of Heaven will come here."

Hearing this sentence "King Wu rest assured ......", Liu Biao couldn't wait to kill the confessor in front of him with a sword on the spot! But in the end, he was allowed to leave......

……………………………………………………………………

When the confessor left, Liu Bi summoned all the generals of Wu State, Zhong Dafu Ying Gao and the crown prince Liu Ju to the palace.

These generals of Wu State, since they were reprimanded by Liu Bi, no one dared to speak out about the king's actions. At this time, most of these people were full of ambition at home, and they didn't want to think that in just a few days, King Wu's summons came again, how could they not make these Wu generals excited......

One by one, they hurried to King Wu's palace............

When these generals arrived in Guangyang Palace, they saw Liu Bi wearing a Rong armor and a long sword tied to his waist from the back hall into the hall.

At this time, the entire hall was suddenly filled with a murderous aura......

Looking at the many generals in front of him, Liu Bi held a silk book in his hand and said indifferently: "Today, the widow receives the edict of the Son of Heaven, and wants to cut my Wu Guoyuzhang and Huiji two counties!" ”。

After finishing speaking, he ordered someone to read out the edict of cutting the domain.

As soon as these words came out, these generals present exploded, and only to see one person come out of the column and kneel on the ground and salute and say: "The king has worked hard for my Wu country for many years, so that my Wu country is now rich and strong, and the king is still the uncle of the Son of Heaven.

Cut the land of my Wu country, the last general will never agree, and the last general is willing to defend it to the death! ”。

Encouraged by these words, all the generals present knelt on the ground and said in unison: "The last general is willing to defend the land of my Wu country to the death."

Seeing this, Liu Bi laughed, pulled out the long sword at his waist, and said angrily: "Okay! The outnumbered are determined to raise an army! Qingjun side to settle the world! ”。

At this time, Dr. Wu Guozhong, who had not opened his mouth, hurriedly made up the preface and said: "The king can't! Don't be so reckless! ”。

At this time, Liu Wei was already furious by the edict of Liu Qi, the Son of Heaven, and seeing that Ying Gao dared to speak out to stop him, he pointed the long sword blade in his hand at Ying Gao and said: "Is it impossible for the middle doctor to dissuade the widow?!" ”。

Ying Gao hurriedly knelt down and said, "King! At this time, the imperial court has already prepared, and if it rushes to send troops, it will definitely lead to the slaughter of our Wu country."

At this time, Liu Bi was already carried away by anger, almost lost his mind, and said: "Shut up! The will of the widow has been decided, and it won't be long before the secretary Yuzhang Taishou sent by Liu Qi will take office, and then the widow will be the meat on his Liu Qi's chopping board! If you don't do anything at this time, when will it be!!

If you stop the widow again, the widow will not show mercy! ”。

Seeing Liu Wei like this, Ying Gao stubbornly said: "King! Even if you want to kill your minister, you have to wait until your minister finishes saying this sentence before killing.

If you want to do something at this time, you can't rush to send troops, "The Book of Rites" has a saying, plan and then act, know and stop, if you want to send troops, you must be well prepared before you can act! ”。

Hearing this, Liu Bi, who had lost his heart a little, regained some of his senses a little.

And Tian Lubo, the general of Wu State, also got up and said: "King, what the middle doctor said is good, if you want to succeed, you must plan first, and do your best to achieve it in one battle."

After Liu Bi sighed, he said: "Then you Aiqing can have a wonderful plan to dedicate to the widow."
