Chapter 356: The Sour Jujube Alliance
Liu Xie's words really made Gongsun Chan a little confused, and he didn't know if Liu Xie was really praising himself or talking back.
Although Gongsun Zhan was puzzled in his heart, he still opened his mouth and admitted: "Your Highness is serious, guarding the border is the duty of our generation of soldiers, and I dare not forget it for a moment. ”
Hearing Gongsun Zhan's words, Liu Xie agreed more, and couldn't help but say: "General Gongsun doesn't have to worry too much, what Gu said is true, and he agrees with the general's approach!" ”
"Is Your Highness serious?" I saw Gongsun Chan looking at Liu Xie with a surprised face, and it was only at this time that Gongsun Chan finally determined that Liu Xie really had a similar identity to himself.
However, before this, Gongsun Zhan didn't dare to hope at all, after all, although this King of Bohai Sea had also fought a few battles, there were still some differences between him and many people in Luoyang who were in high positions and had a vegetarian meal.
But after all, he is the King of Bohai, a former strong contender for the throne, and he must definitely be afraid of his reputation, even if he has such thoughts in his heart, he will definitely not say it so openly.
But today's performance of Liu Xie greatly exceeded Gongsun Zhan's expectations, and at the same time, his favorability towards Liu Xie skyrocketed.
"Is it difficult to be lonely, and there is time for the general to entertain?" Hearing Gongsun Zhan's words, Liu Xie did not answer directly, but asked Gongsun Chan with a smile.
"Hahaha......"
The two glanced at each other, but an invisible tacit understanding was silent.
After everyone was ready, the Bohai Navy led by Liu Xie and Gongsun Zhan's Youzhou Army set out on the road together and headed for Luoyang.
Although the more than a dozen princes who crusaded against Dong Zhuo this time were all for the purpose of crusading against Dong Zhuo, they were also divided into several groups.
For example, this Gongsun Zan is good friends with Zhang Chao, as well as Liu Dai, the assassin of Gunzhou, Kong Ling, the assassin of Yuzhou, and the Taishou Qiaomao of Dongjun, and others, and relatively speaking, a few people are still a group of people.
When Gongsun Chan seemed to have inadvertently only seen this matter, Liu Xie immediately understood what Gongsun Chan meant, that is, to persuade himself to join them.
Liu Xie didn't agree or object, but just said to Gongsun Zhan that he was limited by his identity and didn't dare to advocate without authorization, after all, the meaning of this thing is extraordinary, which means that there is an alliance, and if there is anything in the future, it will definitely be entangled.
And the biggest difference between Liu Xie and them is that Liu Xie is the king of the Bohai Sea, and they are just the history of a state or a county, and there is a big difference.
Like Gongsun Zan and them, Liu Xie naturally knows what their future results will be, and he also knows their abilities, which is not enough to see in front of Cao Cao, Yuan Shao and others.
But now they can still take advantage of it, otherwise Liu Xie would not have agreed or refused.
Seeing Liu Xie's ambiguous attitude, coupled with Liu Xie's reasons, Gongsun Chan didn't embarrass Liu Xie too much, after all, Gongsun Chan also knew that Liu Xie was hindered by his identity, and he should be careful in doing things.
After more than a day of hurrying, everyone finally arrived at the sour jujube before dark, and when Liu Xie and the others arrived, the sour jujube was already full of military horses at this time.
Waiting for the sergeant on guard to report, at this time, many people came out of the inside and walked towards the outside together.
Looking at the people who came over, Liu Xie actually saw several familiar faces among them, such as Yuan Shao and Cao Cao.
Yuan Shao was a little surprised, because Liu Xie had received the news that after Yuan Shao escaped from Luoyang, he directly set up a team in Bingzhou.
And the name of the fourth and third dukes of the Yuan family was really useful, and soon many people went to Yuan Shao, and Yuan Shao also used this to blackmail Dong Zhuo to seal himself as the assassin of the state.
Dong Zhuo saw that the matter had come to this point, and he couldn't muster the troops to come to kill Yuan Shao, so he simply pushed the boat down the river to appease Yuan Shao.
However, Yuan Shao is not a person who can be appeased by such interests, no, as soon as Cao Cao sent Dong Weiwen to ask for it, Yuan Shao was the first to respond, and Dong Zhuo, who was far away in Luoyang, was half angry.
As soon as Liu Xie came in, everyone hurriedly stood up from their seats, and although Yuan Shao felt awkward, he also came to salute Liu Xie and said, "The last general will meet His Royal Highness the King of Bohai." ”
"Get up." Liu Xie said as he walked straight to the position of the leader of the top alliance and sat down.
Everyone who saw this scene, including Yuan Shao, suddenly flashed a subtle look on their faces, obviously they didn't expect Liu Association to be so "conscious".
"If you have anything to do, just deal with it, don't worry about being alone." Seeing everyone standing on the spot, a little overwhelmed, Liu Xie immediately comforted.
Hearing what Liu Xie said, everyone returned to their positions and sat down, but Yuan Shao was the only one who stood or sat down.
Originally, the position where Liu Xie was sitting was Yuan Shao's, but at this time, Liu Xie was sitting, and Yuan Shao naturally had no place.
And although Cao Cao was begging Dong Weiwen, he didn't expect Liu Xie to come, Cao Cao sent Liu Yan, Liu Biao, and Liu Yu to them, but the three families did not react, originally thinking that the Liu clan did not want to go to this troubled water.
But he didn't think that Liu Xie didn't play his cards according to common sense, and he really came here, which immediately caused Yuan Shao's embarrassment.
When Cao Cao saw this scene, he hurriedly beckoned Yuan Shao to sit next to him, so as to avoid exposing Yuan Shao to the public.
At the same time, everyone present looked at Liu Xie in surprise at this time, especially those who had never seen Liu Xie, and they were even more surprised.
If you say that all the Taishou and Assassin Shi who are present are already over half a hundred years old or not confused, and this King of Bohai looks like he is the age of his son and nephew, sitting at the top of a group of middle-aged and elderly people at this time, it looks really weird.
The people such as Yuan Shao and Cao Cao who were present were relatively young, more because of their family's merits or because they had worked as errands in the palace, but they were also much older than Liu Xie.
So in addition to being surprised, everyone had more mixed tastes, like a trace of imperceptible jealousy flashed in Yuan Shao's eyes.
"Your Highness, do you remember Cao Mengde?" In order to alleviate the embarrassment in the field at this time, Cao's laughter came at this time, but he was the first to break the silence.
Seeing Cao Cao's appearance, there was no obvious jealousy in his eyes like Yuan Shao, Liu Xie couldn't help but secretly admire in his heart, this Cao Mengde is really not simple, and it is better than Yuan Shao, no wonder the battle between Cao Cao and Yuan Shao ended in Cao Cao's victory.
"It turned out to be Mengde! Of course Lone remembers, in the camp of General Huangfu Song, Lone and you have fought against the Yellow Turban together! Hearing what Cao Cao said, Liu Xie couldn't help but say to Cao Cao.
Originally, Cao Cao was just to ease the atmosphere, and he didn't expect Liu Xie to remember how much he was, but when he heard Liu Xie's answer, Cao Cao was also happy in his heart: "It turns out that His Royal Highness the King of Bohai still remembers, and the last general is really flattered!" ”
