Chapter 370: Breaking Expansion
In Luoyang City, Cao Cao looked at the test report in his hand, revealing a cold atmosphere from the inside out.
Not for anything else, just because what he was holding in his hand was the physical examination report of the Empress Dowager Dong and Liu Xie.
And it is clearly written that there are indeed traces of toxins in the bodies of the two of them, but after their Cao family's precise testing and analysis, it was found that the poisoning time of the two was basically during the time when they attacked Luoyang.
And this shows that the poison on the Empress Dowager Dong and the alliance leader Liu Xie is entirely likely to be Yu Ji's body. In order to take advantage of the chaos to take the two of them away and not let others find out!
Although it can be said that this can be regarded as indirectly saving their lives, so that they did not die in the extraterrestrial meteoric array. But Yu Ji's purpose is afraid that it is not as simple as he said!
Say anything about being afraid that the alliance leader will fall into the hands of traitors, but if everyone knew that the alliance leader was not dead, maybe the current situation would not be so chaotic!
The reason why the current colleges and universities dare to blatantly expand their own power is not because of the decay of the Han Dynasty, the life and death of the alliance leader, and the absence of the person in charge of the whole school alliance? Therefore, the current situation can be said to be almost created by Yu Ji!
And Yu Ji didn't tell himself until now that he asked him to go to Liu Xie and them, and the reason for this was probably not at all, or it was not simply based on his loyalty to the Han family. There must be a reason for this that he doesn't know, but he hasn't figured out the key to it yet!
Since the first battle of Luoyang City, Cao Cao has developed a way of thinking about the worst first. So he now wonders if he has become a pawn of Yu Ji against someone.
Glancing at the report in his hand again, Cao Cao suddenly tore it to pieces. Then he informed Cao Ren and asked him to immediately order to go down and list the poisoning of the alliance leader and the empress dowager as a top-secret file, and no one was allowed to mention the matter, and those who violated the order were beheaded!
Putting this matter aside for the time being, Cao Cao knew that there was no corresponding evidence yet, and everything was just his conjecture, so what he should do now was to try to help Liu Xie recover the Han dynasty.
Picking up the pen and paper on the side, Cao Cao personally simulated a statement and sent carrier pigeons to the major universities in the whole league. Explain the matter of him finding the alliance leader, and let them enter the capital immediately!
He is going to start officially serving the Son of Heaven in order not to be subordinate. borrowed the power of Liu Xie, the son of heaven, to take charge of those who still had a trace of Han's heart. And let those colleges and universities that intend to stand on their own lose the support of the people in the general righteousness.
With the issuance of the statement, many colleges and universities that had not yet eased because of the shock of the Hejian incident were once again severely attacked.
At first, they didn't have to be embarrassed, they just said that when Liu Bei attacked, they would negotiate with him to join his camp. If you feel that your strength is good, you can also have a big battle with Liu Bei, and win or lose by the result.
But now it's good, the alliance leader Liu Xie actually came back at this time. Then they have an extra layer of choice, and at the same time, this thing has something else. After all, most of them are still nominally members of the Dahan University-wide Alliance.
In addition to Liu Bei, Liu Biao, Liu Zhang and others who established themselves as kings early, many other colleges and universities are nominally under the control of the whole school league leader!
It's also funny to say that none of the first people to stand on their own were foreign careerists, but all of them were Han clan relatives surnamed Liu.
Liu Biao, since he found an excuse to return to Jingzhou in the battle against Dong, began his journey of self-reliance. At the same time, it is also the second force of the whole school alliance to unify a large state!
And Liu Zhang, almost as soon as he knew that Liu Biao had established himself as king, he immediately began to unify the schools in Yizhou. Relying on his status as a clan member of the Han family, he almost didn't have any obstacles to take Yizhou as his own!
It's just that Liu Biao and Liu Zhang are like misers compared to Liu Bei. After defeating the entire state pastor, he began to stick to his one-third of an acre. Unlike Liu Bei, he still wants to expand his territory outside!
Therefore, at this moment, those colleges and universities that are still under the control of the whole school league basically focus on Liu Bei.
Liu Xie and Liu Bei are both surnamed Liu. One is a veritable son of heaven of the Han Dynasty, the leader of the whole school league. One is the legendary man of the Mandate of Heaven, who is favored by the heavens and has the most powerful princes.
One of the two people has great righteousness, and they can justifiably command all colleges and universities in the whole school. The other is strong, and the legend is backed.
And because of the benevolent government implemented by the schools in Youzhou, Liu Bei has won a lot of reputation. So on the basis of the people, the two of them can be said to be half a catty to eight taels, and no one can help anyone!
Therefore, Liu Bei has the capital not to listen to the orders of the alliance leader, and at the same time, it also gives the principals of other schools an excuse to wait and see.
As a result, the presidents of those colleges and universities ignored Cao Cao's announcement. I want to wait to see how Liu Bei's Taoyuan Army reacts, and then make a decision!
At this moment, in Rende University, Liu Bei looked at the statement that Cao Cao specially sent to him in his hand, hoping that he could serve as an example for the princes of the world and take the lead in going to Luoyang to pay tribute to Liu Xie.
"Hehe~! Unexpectedly, I didn't expect that Cao Cao actually found Liu Xie. It's just that I told him at the beginning that the majesty of the Han family has been swept away.
There are many forces in the whole school alliance, and they have no reverence for Liu Xie, the so-called alliance leader. Even if he finds Liu Xie now and wants to assist him in commanding the world, I'm afraid he won't be able to listen to it! ”
Liu Bei sneered and threw away the information in his hand, not taking Cao Cao's words to heart at all.
He is now sitting in the three states of You, and it can be said that the entire northern power of the whole school alliance is under his control. As for Cao Cao and Liu Xie, in addition to the name of the alliance leader who is basically ignored, there is only the Sili region that Cao Cao is in charge of.
It can be said that Cao Cao can not threaten him at all except for disgusting him in the name of the alliance leader. So he didn't take it seriously!
It's just that he didn't take it seriously, but someone took it to heart.
I saw Xu Shu hurriedly come to Liu Bei's office, and when he saw Liu Bei looking like an old god, he slapped the information he got in his hand in front of Liu Bei.
"Liu Bei, why are you still sitting so leisurely! Do you know that Cao Cao welcomed back the alliance leader Liu Xie? Do you know how much impact this will have on our Taoyuan Army? Why aren't you in a hurry at all? ”
"Relax, military advisor, what a big deal! Isn't it that Cao Cao got Liu Xie's little kid back? Do you think that with the current situation, there are still people who will regard him as the leader of the alliance?
You must know that once ambition is ignited, it is not so easy to extinguish. Otherwise, it wouldn't be so difficult for you to subdue and annex the state! "Hundred Flowers Literature
Xu Shu was stunned for a moment, "This~, I'll tell you about the alliance leader, what are you doing for me to merge with the state?" Don't forget, this school-wide league is still a school-wide league of the big man. Even if Liu Xie is only a child, there is no majesty at all.
But he is still nominally the leader of the whole school alliance, in charge of all schools in the world. From the moral high ground, the entire school league should obey the orders of the league leader. ”
"You also said yes, that's right, theoretically speaking, all colleges and universities in the whole league should respond to the order of the alliance leader.
But now the times are different, and the entire school league of thirteen states, Jingzhou Liu Biao, and Yizhou Liu Zhang are all self-reliant. As the clan relatives of the Han family, they originally had the capital to establish themselves as kings. Liu Xie's first child, if you want them to obey orders, it is impossible.
And Sun Jian of Yangzhou, he has now begun to unify all schools in the territory. Now let him spit out the ground he has laid, do you think it is possible?
Counting the entire school league, it is possible that those who are biased towards Liu Xie and Cao Cao are nothing more than some people who have no ability to stand on their own and want to mix with the names of loyal monarchs and virtuous ministers.
So I think apart from Kong Rong in Beihai, there should be no one who will make a pilgrimage to Luoyang! ”
Liu Bei said his analysis, so that Xu Shu on the side couldn't refute him for a while. After all, from the perspective of Liu Bei and the two generations, his analysis of the situation is far beyond that of Xu Shu, a local!
Seeing Xu Shu's stunned appearance, Liu Bei indifferently threw the information in front of him into the paper basket, stood up and walked in front of him and patted him on the shoulder. Signal him to relax and take care of everything.
And Xu Shu was beaten by Liu Bei in vain, and he forgot the purpose of coming to him. Liu Bei was stunned and pushed out of the office like that!
It wasn't until Liu Bei closed the door that Xu Shu heard the noise outside, so he came back to his senses and looked at the office door behind him helplessly. Helplessly, he shook his head and said, "Alas! In the face of righteousness, whether people's hearts are changing, I hope you have thought of all these things! ”
……
It has been half a month since Cao Cao's statement was issued, but there are very few college presidents who have come to Luoyang to report.
In addition to Yanzhou, the presidents of colleges and universities in Yuzhou who had cooperated with him before came to report, only Kong Rong from Beihai brought some college presidents in Qingzhou to meet the saint.
Seeing that only Kong Rong, a heavyweight in the entire school alliance, came over in the end, Cao Cao's already relatively dark face was directly like coal. Every day in the Cao family's compound, looking at the current situation topographic map, his face is gloomy, as if he can drip water!
"You guys who are lawless, treacherous, forget the big man, forget the regulations of the whole school league, I, Cao Cao, will one day sweep you all away with the army!"
As Cao Cao spoke, he suddenly took out a red pen and made a big red cross on Liu Bei's forces. And mark a triangle pattern next to it as your ultimate goal!
And on Yanzhou, he also drew a triangle as the goal of his strategy.
As the most powerful state pastor of his Cao family, almost all colleges and universities in Yanzhou are inextricably linked to his Cao family. It can be said that Yanzhou is the easiest state pastor for his Cao family to reunify!
And he, Cao Cao, is ready to take advantage of the time when Liu Bei integrates and combines the two states to attack Yanzhou and cut off Liu Bei's expansion to the south!
So at the morning meeting of the cabinet the next day, Cao Cao asked the alliance leader Liu Xie for an order to attack Yanzhou and block Liu Bei's continued expansion. He wants to see if Liu Bei dares to brave the world's condemnation and take the initiative against today's alliance!
For Cao Cao's request, Liu Xie naturally agreed. Although he was still young, he saw that in front of him, in addition to some of Cao Cao's team, there was only Kong Rong who was a minister who was called over by him.
Seeing this, he knew that the whole school league left to him by his father was no longer the one he knew. The only thing he can rely on now is Cao Cao in front of him. So for some of his requests, he almost agreed without thinking about it!
So, Cao Cao, who got the holy decree, immediately asked Cao Ren to lead his Cao family army and take down the schools of Yanzhou.
Then he sent a letter to his two brothers who were still in Pei County, Xiahoudun and Xiahouyuan, asking them to prepare their manpower, and when the Yanzhou war was over, they would take advantage of the situation to take many colleges and universities in Yuzhou.
Didn't he Liu Bei have the power of You, And, Ji, and Sanzhou? Then he, Cao Cao, also has to fight against the current alliance leader in three states!
Regardless of Si Li, Yanzhou, Yuzhou, and Qingzhou, which responded to the call, were his efforts for Liu Xie.
Soon, the war in Yanzhou began. Due to the influence of the Cao family's forces, many colleges and universities in Yanzhou basically only symbolically resisted, and then took the initiative to hand over the school seal and surrender. Among them, naturally includes Zhang Miao, the president of Chen Liu's university!
It's just that compared with the presidents of other colleges and universities, he sent a letter of help to Liu Bei when he knew that he couldn't defeat Cao Cao. told about Cao Cao's attack on Yanzhou, hoping that Liu Bei could give him some support.
However, it is a pity that Liu Bei was unable to spare troops to help him because of the problem of resource integration. But in order to encourage Zhang Miao's attitude of giving him a tip-off, he still gave him some advice and let him stay under Cao Cao's men with peace of mind.
In this way, Liu Bei watched Yanzhou fall into Cao Cao's hands but couldn't intervene. In a hurry, he held many meetings to discuss solutions.
However, he has not yet digested the expansion of strength brought to him by the two states, and if he rushes to send troops, it is likely to lead to instability in the rear, and a careless accident may make all his previous efforts in vain. So he could only watch Cao Cao confine him in the north!
And for Cao Cao's wonderful move, Sun Jian, Liu Biao and others were all amazed. actually used the prestige of the leader of the whole school alliance to block the southward path of Liu Bei, a fierce tiger.
If Liu Bei dares to force his way south, he will inevitably fight Cao Cao. And Cao Cao is now the spokesperson of the alliance leader, and Liu Bei's attack on Cao Cao is a shot against the alliance leader.
Although the prestige of Liu Xie's alliance leader is very weak now, no matter how weak he is, he is still the alliance leader. If Liu Bei really dares to risk the disapproval of the world and make a move against the alliance leader, then I am afraid that all the colleges and universities in the world will unite and deal with him like Dong Zhuo!
And now, the eyes of the world will converge on Liu Bei, wanting to see what he has planned. Is it to swallow his anger and develop in the north with peace of mind, or to be directly and tough with Cao Cao and Liu Xie, and then come to the drama of "princes asking Dong" again.
Time passed day by day under the expectant gaze of everyone, until Liu Bei finally solved the integration problem of Jizhou!
