Chapter 538: Two Heroes Join Forces
The Son of Heaven died, the two princes were taken away by two forces, and the world of the Han Dynasty was about to become a situation where two days coexisted.
According to the analysis of the pottery merchant, if such a big thing happens, Liu Bei is likely to follow Fu Wan and Dong Cheng in the end, and go to which force will finally follow them to support Liu Qiong, the second son of Liu Xie.
And if the potters supported Liu Xi in Xuzhou, there is no doubt that from now on, there will be two emperors in the world, and both emperors will regard themselves as orthodox, and vow to exterminate their opponents and never die.
It is an irreconcilable opposition that cannot be resolved.
Therefore, the potter has the intention to kill Liu Bei here now, so as to save him from mixing with Fu Wan and others in the future.
But it was clear that the potter's troops were not enough.
After all, Liu Bei has the white horse righteous servants brought out from Gongsun Zhan at the beginning, as well as the two heroic generals Guan Yu and Zhang Fei, Zhao Yun and others are still fighting against the Wuhuan cavalry, and it is unrealistic for the pottery merchant to kill Liu Bei at the moment.
There is no way, but at the moment, I can only scare him for the time being, and first promise to bring my little nephew and Ma Xun back.
……
The day is about to dawn, after a fierce battle last night, Zhao Yun and others finally defeated the Wuhuan cavalry under Su Muyan, and Su Muyan retreated north, leaving the ruins of this place in Fan County.
Liu Bei rescued Liu Xie's body or not, and the pottery merchant didn't know, but at the moment he couldn't deal with this aspect of the matter for the time being.
He sent people to protect it closely and sent Tao Guiren and Liu Xi back to Pengcheng.
The pottery merchant and others led their troops to the battlefield in the Central Plains, and they would work with Cao Cao to deal with Yuan Shao.
As for Dong Chenghe Fu Wan and others, they were protecting Liu Qiong and other members of the royal family and rushing to Jingzhou, and Liu Bei was homeless at the moment, so he also went with him.
……
In the Central Plains, Cao Cao and the two great heroes of the pottery merchant finally joined forces.
On the school field, the generals and strategists of the two sides formed a barrier-like confrontation, and the scene presented a strange atmosphere.
Especially Dian Wei and Xu Chu, Yingchuan students and Guo Jia, they all stared at each other tightly, as if they could kill each other with their eyes.
Cao Cao and the potter are also smiling and not smiling.
The matter of the Son of Heaven, after the ambush and Dong Cheng settle down, Cao Cao will know sooner or later, and the pottery merchant does not hide his secrets, and directly gives him a simple account of the matter.
He also wanted to see Cao Cao's reaction.
Sure enough, as soon as he heard the news of the death of the Son of Heaven, Cao Cao and his advisers were immediately shocked.
This is indeed a thunderbolt in the clear sky, especially Xun Yu and Xun Yu, their whole faces are pale, and they almost fainted.
Cao Cao tried to calm himself, and then said, "Taifu, where are the eldest son Liu Xi and the second son Liu Qiongnai now?" ”
Tao agreed: "The eldest son Liu Xi and the biological mother Tao Guifei have been sent back to Pengcheng by me, the second son Liu Qiong and Queen Fu, Concubine Dong and others were left by Dong Chenghe, maybe Liu Bei also followed them, if my expectations are good, they are likely to go to Jingzhou or Yizhou." ”
Cao Cao nodded fixedly and said, "I know that now, for them, there is only so ...... Which of the two sons should inherit the throne of the Son of Heaven? ”
The potter said lightly: "Your Majesty has left an edict and ordered the eldest son Xi to inherit the unification. ”
Cao Cao's eyes showed a fine light, and he said, "Is there a clear text?" ”
"Your Majesty died in a hurry, how can you get the edict? It is a word of mouth. ”
As soon as Cao Cao heard the potter say this, he knew that he was pulling calves.
Bullshit.
But Cao Cao did not refute the potter, the current situation has changed dramatically, it is naturally meaningless for him to break with the potter, if the Son of Heaven is in his hands, he bragged and estimated that he was more fierce than the potter, so everything is understandable.
What he has to do now is another thing, to deal with Yuan Shao.
"Wuhuan Cliff King Su Muyan suddenly led the crowd to attack Fandu, causing His Majesty to return to heaven, according to Taifu's point of view, what is the reason?"
When the pottery merchant saw Cao Cao asking him, he naturally guessed Cao Cao's thoughts in an instant, and said lightly: "The Wuhuan Department is located in the border of Youzhou, and the border sneak attack on Fan Capital, how can no one notice?" Someone must have deliberately let them over, and the only one who could let him come here was naturally the one from the north. ”
After that, he raised his hand and pointed in the direction where Yuan Jun Dazhai was standing.
Cao Cao nodded slowly, and said: "Although there is no real evidence at the moment, but the fact is so, he cannot be allowed to deny it, and the person Yuan Shao relies on is the world's corporal clan!" Cao Mouyi, since His Majesty designated the eldest son Xi to inherit the unification before his death, then bother the Taifu to issue an edict in the name of Prince Xi to denounce Yuan Shao's disobedience! In this way, the corporal clan in the world is separated from Yuan, and Yuan Shao has no rear support, if we can defeat him on the frontal battlefield, the big thing will be decided. ”
The potter agreed: "What Cao Sikong said is, but after all, Your Majesty is too young to tell his own intentions, so according to Sikong's opinion, who should write and polish this matter for Your Majesty." ”
Cao Cao said with a smile: "Why should Taifu Tao be so modest, there is a great writer under Taifu's command, you Heng, who is good at this, so why do you need to ask more?" ”
The potter laughed, nodded and praised: "It has to be Cao Sikong who sees it thoroughly." ”
……
After the potter and Cao Cao had finished their discussions, they each returned to their respective tents.
After Cao Cao returned to his tent, he only left Xun Yu, Xun Yu, Cheng Yu, Xi Zhicai and other close masterminds.
Xun's uncle and nephew's face was not very good-looking.
After a few people sat down, Xun Yu hurriedly said to Cao Cao: "Sikong, the Son of Heaven and the Dragon Return to Heaven, such a big thing, we must not be hasty, the Wuhuan cavalry must be Yuan Shao behind the scenes, this fang actually has the intention of murdering the Son of Heaven, and he should destroy the nine clans!" This battle is no longer a battle in which the Ming Duke can repel Cao Cao's troops, but a major event related to the rise and fall of the Han dynasty. ”
Cao Cao was very unhappy when he heard Xun Yu's words, what he cared about now was about himself.
But Xun's uncle and nephew have always had a kind of respect and loyalty to the Han family and the Son of Heaven that are beyond ordinary scholars, and Cao Cao knows about this.
But from the perspective of loyalty ethics, there is really nothing wrong with Xun's uncle and nephew.
Cao Cao was silent for a long time, did not pay attention to Xun Yu's words directly, but turned his head to look at Cheng Yu and Xi Zhicai.
"Now the potter has brought Liu Xi, the orphaned eldest son of the Son of Heaven, back to Xuzhou, after this battle, if we can really repel Yuan Shao, he will inevitably become a person who supports the Son of Heaven the next day! At that time, the court of the Han family will be settled in Xuzhou......"
Speaking of this, Cao Cao's face couldn't help but show anger that was difficult to hide.
You must know that the old site of the imperial court was directly installed in his Xuchang City.
The potter took away Liu Xie and placed the Son of Heaven in Fan County, which made Cao Cao's anger nowhere to go, and now Liu Xie is dead, but it is indirectly able to make the potter support his nephew, that is, the next generation of the Son of Heaven.
As soon as he thought of this, Cao Cao hated to kill the whole family of the potters.
The imperial court was settled in Yecheng, which made Cao Cao feel more comfortable than being placed in Pengcheng.
This little calf is so infuriating.
