In the fourth year of Jian'an, this year, the situation in the world has almost been decided, and all the princes have no intention of mobilizing their troops. In the past few years, the princes of the world fought chaotically, and now, only those few princes remain.

Yuan Yao, holding Yuzhou, Jingzhou, Yangzhou and half of Xuzhou, a total of three and a half states, has countless elite soldiers and strong generals, and was born in the Yuan clan in Runan, after the two brothers of Yuan Shu and Yuan Shao died one after another, Yuan Yao has been defaulted to the person in charge of the next generation of the Yuan clan in Runan, as for Yuan Tan, compared with Yuan Yao, the performance is much worse. Moreover, after Yuan Yao inherited the foundation of Yuan Shu, he has not used much soldiers, and in recruiting troops, I am afraid that no one knows what kind of strength he has accumulated under his hands except Yuan Yao himself.

Cao Cao, holding Yanzhou, Sili, Liangzhou and Hanzhong in his hands, although these areas are not as rich as Yuan Yao's hands, but Cao Cao has been fighting for many years, and his command has also gathered a lot of brave men, when he won Liangzhou and Hanzhong, he also collected Ma Teng, Han Sui, Zhang Lu and other princes under his command, plus the people of Moqi Mountain who entered the Sili is recruited and Cao Cao's own team, Cao Cao's lineup is not bad compared to Yuan Yao, and even a little exceeded. And Cao Cao's biggest advantage is that he controls Liu Xie, the son of heaven, although Liu Xie's role has been greatly reduced due to some reasons, but he also has great prestige.

After Lü Bu defeated Yuan Shao and took advantage of the situation to take Yecheng, Lü Bu sent troops to sweep most of Jizhou under the advice of Chen Gong, and finally left Liu Bei with only Bohai and Hejian, and the rest of the counties were all under Lü Bu's control. And Lu Bu, who controlled these counties, also greatly increased his strength, and with the support of a large amount of money and grain in Jizhou, he fed back the annexation of the prefecture and pulled out more elite soldiers and horses from the annexation state.

Liu Bei, Liu Bei, who is holding the Chixiao Sword, has become a new benchmark for the Han Dynasty after most people in the world were disappointed in Liu Xie, and he has been taken refuge by many outstanding people, plus Liu Bei has Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, Zhao Yun and other fierce generals in the world, in the last year, Liu Bei took advantage of Yuan Shao's death and killed all the way to Youzhou, forcing Yuan Tan to withdraw from Jicheng and go to Liaodong.

Yuan Tan, under Liu Bei's offensive, could only retreat in the direction of Liaodong, but on the way to retreat, Yuan Tan defeated Gongsun Du, and beheaded Gongsun Du, and took Liaodong from Gongsun Du, and because of this, Yuan Tan was able to fight and retreat in Youzhou to resist Liu Bei's offensive.

The rest, such as Liu Zhang, who occupies Yizhou, and Sun Quan, who occupies Jiaozhou, can no longer join the ranks of competing for that position, either because of their temperament or because of their geographical location.

In such a situation, there is not much movement in the world for the time being, but unfortunately, there are always people who do not want to see such a calm situation.

Chang'an City, Weiyang Palace.

In a silent palace, a young man, dressed in a dragon robe, was in the palace, looking at a large pillar coiled by a dragon and quietly distracted.

After a while, there was one more person beside the young man in the dragon robe, his face was pale, he was obviously a man, but he had no Adam's apple, and his body was extremely thin, as if a gust of wind could blow him down.

"Your Majesty!"

The pale-faced man's voice was also very high-pitched, and from these details, it could be seen that this person was a eunuch.

"Duan Weng!"

One of the former ten permanent attendants, and now Liu Xie's biggest support, Duan Jue, stood respectfully beside Liu Xie at the moment, looked at Liu Xie, and didn't say anything.

Later, after the death of Emperor Ling, the ten permanent servants were killed by Yuan Shao and others, either forced to commit suicide by the river, or Yuan Shao, Cao Cao and others were killed, only this section survived.

And after Duan Jue survived, he also changed his face again and returned to Liu Xie's side, these years, it is precisely because of Duan Jue's protection that Liu Xie was able to contact Fu Wan, Dong Cheng and others, and it is under the hijacking of Dong Zhuo, Li Dao, Guo Yan and now Cao Cao and others.

"Duan Weng, are you ready?"

Duan Jue looked at Liu Xie at this time and said softly: "Your Majesty, it's all done, just wait for the Sword Saint Lord to return and bring the token back, and we can open the entrance." ”

Liu Xie took a deep breath at this time, his face was a little hideous, his fists were clenched, and his muscles were furious.

He is Liu Xie, the son of the Han Dynasty, and the master of this world, but what has happened to him over the years, since he was forcibly expelled from the throne by Dong Zhuo, Liu Xie has been at the mercy of others as if he was a puppet. After so many years, he has had enough and is not willing to be a puppet again.

He wants to resist, he wants to regain control of all his strength. And the experience of these years also made Liu Xie understand that if you want to control power, you need to gain strong power, and only if you have strong strength, all conspiracies and tricks can be broken.

Originally, Liu Xie didn't need to be in such a hurry, he could still bear it, but unlike the original trajectory, Liu Bei in this life not only has the title of Uncle of the Great Han Emperor, but also has the Chixiao Sword, the immortal weapon of the Great Han Town, in his hand, and the Chixiao Sword has already recognized Liu Bei, which is a great blow to Liu Xie.

Many people disapprove of Liu Xie more and more, and agree with Liu Bei, after all, Liu Xie and Liu Bei, the performance of the two is too different. Liu Xie is now just a puppet controlled by others, life and death are almost between Cao Cao's thoughts, and Liu Bei is now a prince, although there is still a big gap in strength compared to Yuan Yao, Cao Cao, etc., but it is also a separatist party.

In such a comparison, coupled with Liu Bei's identity and the recognition of Chixiao Sword, many loyal ministers of the Han family put the hope of reviving the Han family on Liu Bei, and invested in Liu Bei's command, hoping that Liu Bei could lead the army under his command, sweep the thirteen states of the world, and build the prestige of the Han Dynasty.

"Duan Weng, who are going with you this time?"

Liu Xie restrained his expression, turned to look at Duan Jue, and asked softly. Facing Liu Xie's inquiry, Duan Jue said: "That secret realm is too dangerous, and no one knows what Yingzheng arranged in it back then. So this time, in addition to His Majesty, the old slave and the Sword Master, only Guozhang and General Dong and others went together, there were too many people, in fact, it was not good, and it was easy to leak the news. ”

Liu Xie nodded, he knew who he would bring, that is, Wu Zilan, Wang Zifu, Chongji, Wu Shuo, who were still a little loyal to the Han family, or to him Liu Xie. Anyone else, not to be trusted.
