After Liu Xie rewarded a group of meritorious heroes, he held a banquet to celebrate for three days. During the celebration, after Liu Xie recognized Liu Bei as the emperor's uncle, he thought that Liu Bei could be relied on, and had an intimate conversation with Liu Bei; It's like a folk uncle and nephew. Cao Cao saw Liu Bei's power, and the boss was unhappy in his heart, and the murderous intent gradually rose in his heart, but he was afraid of Zhao Xu, Zhao Yun, Zhang Fei and other fierce generals around Liu Bei, so he didn't dare to make a move.

After the banquet, Cao Cao returned home, Xun Yu and a group of strategists came to see him, Xun Yu said: "Now that the son recognizes Liu Bei as his uncle, I am afraid it will not be beneficial to Ming Gong." ”

Cao Cao sighed: "Why not! Liu Bei, a liar, actually shirked me and said that he sent Zhao Xu and them to suppress the thieves first and clear the way, but I didn't expect wow! Alas! It's really the best of the best! If today's son has worshiped Liu Bei in the emperor's uncle, Liu Bei's strong generals and elite soldiers, the momentum is huge, I will stay in Luoyang, if Liu Bei's heart is different, the murderous heart rises, and a certain will die here. ”

Xun Yu said: "We might as well go back to Yanzhou, recuperate, and then try to forge ahead, which is conducive to future development." ”

Cao Cao smiled: "Wen Ruo knows a certain heart. The plan was decided, and the next day Cao Cao asked the Son of Heaven to resign, and set the camp back to Yanzhou, leaving only 3,000 troops to help build Luoyang City.

On the same day, Liu Xie suddenly ordered Liu Bei to go to the palace to discuss matters. (At this time, the palace where Liu Xie lived had been almost repaired.) Liu Bei received the notice and asked Zhao Xu, Fa Zheng and others: "The Son of Heaven suddenly asked me to enter the palace to discuss matters, what do you mean?" ”

Fa Zhengdao: "The Son of Heaven edicts the lord, there must be great things to entrust." ”

Liu Bei said: "How can you see it? ”

Jia Xu said: "Now that Cao Cao is gone, Ma Teng and others are still there, the Son of Heaven is looking for Ming Gong alone, and I think there is something important to worship Ming Gong." ”

Zhao Xu smiled and said: "Yes or no, you will know as soon as you go; Now the palace is only less than half repaired, and the partition wall has ears, and the lord can bring more soldiers to protect it. ”

Liu Bei saw that Zhao Xu and the others had said this, so he didn't say any more, and immediately ordered Zhang Fei and Zhao Yun to go to Tianzhong with Liu Bei's family.

At that time, Zhang Fei and Zhao Yun ordered a group of families to surround Liu Xie's residence, as Zhao Xu expected, what kind of person Cao Cao was, so he naturally left his henchmen to inquire about the news, and the secret agent learned that Liu Xie invited Liu Bei, and immediately went to investigate, and saw Zhang Fei and Zhao Yun surrounding, so frightened that he sweated, so he didn't dare to move.

But it was said that Liu Bei went to Liu Xie's palace, and when Liu Xie saw Liu Bei, he immediately cried and said: "Thank you Uncle Huang for saving the driver, I invite Uncle Huang to come here, and thank you for saving the driver." ”

Liu Bei hurriedly helped the Son of Heaven up, bowed his head and said: "How can the Son of Heaven make this great gift and torture Liu Beiye." ”

Liu Xie wept and sighed: "Since I ascended the throne, I have been a traitor and a male: first suffered from Dong Zhuo, and then suffered from Guo Yan's rebellion. Fortunately, Uncle Huang is the minister of the society; Not far away, save me from birth, how can I not thank Uncle Huang. ”

Liu Bei listened to Liu Xie's heartfelt words, and he couldn't help but burst into tears, crying: "As a member of the Han family, how can I sit back and watch the Son of Heaven suffer, this is my responsibility." ”

Liu Xie cried: "Having said that, Liu Biao of Jingzhou and Liu Zhang of Yizhou, both of whom are relatives of the Han family, are far closer to Chang'an than the imperial uncle, and they are not here to rescue the driver, compared with the imperial uncle, there is a world of difference!" I am not a man of reason. At the time of suffering, the ministers of the Manchu Dynasty ate Hanlu, but unfortunately they were all weak people, and they were more than capable of indulging, and no one could save the country. ”

Liu Xie wiped his tears as he spoke, and looked back at the three portraits on the wall behind him, and in the middle was the portrait of Liu Bang, the ancestor of the Han Dynasty. Liu Xie invited Liu Bei to watch, and Liu Bei saw that it was Gaozu Liu Bang, so he naturally didn't dare to slack off. Liu Xie looked at Liu Bang's portrait and said, "May I ask Uncle Huang, where did Emperor Gaozu get up?" How to start a business? ”

Liu Bei was shocked: "Why is Your Majesty teasing the ministers, who in the world doesn't know about the matter of the Han Holy Ancestor?" Emperor Gaozu was born in the Surabaya Pavilion, and then carried the three-foot Chixiao Sword, slashed the White Snake Uprising, crisscrossed the four seas, died in three years of Qin, and Thanos Chu in five years, so he had the world and established the foundation of eternity. ”

Liu Xie cried: "The ancestors are so heroic, and the descendants are so cowardly, isn't it sad and lamentable!" ”

Liu Bei was full of emotion, bowed his head and was silent, Liu Xie pointed to Liu Bang's left and right two auxiliary statues and said: "These two people are not staying with Hou Zhang Liang and Hou Xiao He?" ”

Liu Bei said: "Yes." Gaozu started a business, which really relied on the strength of these two people. ”

Liu Xie looked back left and right, and whispered to Liu Bei: "Uncle Huang should also be like this, and the two of them should stand on my side." ”

Liu Bei said: "There are no large numbers of talents, only inch merit, why should they be Zhang Liang and Xiao He?" ”

Liu Xie said: "I want the emperor's uncle to save the west, the generals under him are majestic, and the soldiers are majestic and mighty, which is beyond the reach of any prince in the world." Zhao Xu, the general under the emperor's uncle, killed Yuan Shao and Ding Wuhuan in one load, this person's ability to use soldiers was not under Han Xin back then; Uncle Huang's subordinates Fa Zheng and many other strategists can be compared to Zhang Liang and others. Therefore, the only person in the world who can save the Han family is the imperial uncle. ”

Liu Bei said: "Uncle Dong Cheng, Xiliang Ma Teng, and Yanzhou Cao Cao are all loyal ministers who save the driver, how can they not help the Han family?" ”

Liu Xiedao: "Definitely! Uncle Dong Cheng has no heavy soldiers and is powerless to support the Han family; Xiliang Ma Teng has courage and no strategy, and cannot take on big responsibilities; That Cao Cao, I see this person in the city is very deep, and he may be a disaster for the world in the future; I ask Uncle Huang to take on the great responsibility, and I ask Uncle Huang not to live up to my high hopes. ”

Liu Bei listened to the exchange with tears in his eyes, and said in a crying voice: "The Son of Heaven has such high hopes, and he should live up to the trust of the Son of Heaven." ”

Liu Xie immediately wrote a secret edict, handed it to Liu Bei, and said: "Uncle Dong Guo has been to the country a lot, and I know it. You can discuss major matters with the imperial uncle, and the imperial uncle can use this secret edict to ask the uncle to help, and the two of you should be inside and outside, and the inside and outside should be combined, so as to protect the Han world. ”

Liu Bei said: "A certain minister of the Manchu Dynasty, Taiwei Yang Biao and Situ Wang Yun are all loyal ministers, and they will be able to work with me; Don't hide it from Your Majesty, before receiving the edict of Your Majesty's rescue, you have already received a letter from Xiliang Ma Teng, please prepare for the rescue, Xi Liang Ma Teng, will also be loyal and can help. ”

Liu Xie cried with joy and said happily: "Taiwei Yang Biao and Situ Wang Yunzhong are loyal and righteous, I know that these two people are old, so they can't bear heavy responsibilities; If Xiliang Ma Teng is also loyal, Uncle Huang and Ma Teng are one east and one west, for the horn of the horn, sit back and watch the world with bad intentions, you two join forces, you will be able to help the Han family! ”

Liu Bei said: "After the reconstruction of Luoyang is completed, a certain person must ask Liu Biao of Jingzhou and Liu Zhang of Yizhou to help, and if the number of people who receive the edict reaches ten, then Your Majesty's major event can be accomplished." ”

Both of them were overjoyed, and Liu Bei bowed to Liu Xie three times before retreating. After Liu Bei left, Liu Xie pondered: Haha! Uncle Huang has now led the annexation of the state, consolidating the Han family from the north, and Ma Teng in the west is a loyal minister, and there is no worry in the west; Liu Biao of Jingzhou and Liu Zhang of Yizhou, even if they are not edicted, will not harm the world, and these two can hold Cao Cao hostage...... Hahaha! The Han world can be established, and I can also become a generation of Ming Emperors!

After Liu Bei returned to the camp, he was full of worries and couldn't be quiet, so he recalled Zhao Xu and others, who were repairing the city and the people outside, to discuss.

"Big brother, what's the matter with us in such a hurry!" Zhang Fei arrived first, and before the people entered the camp, the voice arrived.

Liu Bei pulled Zhang Fei in and said, "Third brother, don't shout loudly, wait for all the generals to arrive, and then talk to you." ”

After a while, Zhao Xu, Fa Zheng, Jia Xu and other people arrived, Liu Bei glanced at it, and saw that the people in front of him were all henchmen, so he was relieved, took out the secret edict of the world, and said while passing it to Zhang Fei: "Everyone, look, this is the secret edict of the Son of Heaven who entered the palace just now, and the Son of Heaven is entrusted by the Son of Heaven, I hope you will help me." ”

When everyone finished reading, they all bowed their heads and were silent. Zhao Xu thought in his heart, this Liu Xie likes to engage in underground operations so much, it's a pity not to be a secret agent. First said: "The lord is entrusted with such a heavy trust, what are your plans?" ”

Liu Bei said: "A certain meaning, I plan to invite Taiwei Yang Biao, Situ Wang Yun, Xiliang Ma Teng and other loyal ministers of the Han family to receive the edict first, and then make plans after returning to Linzi." ”

Everyone nodded yes. Zhang Fei said: "My brother is so responsible, I will naturally not lag behind, big brother!" Rest assured! We're here to help. ”

Everyone was discussing, and suddenly reported that Xiliang was too guarded by Ma Teng. Everyone thought that the matter had been leaked, and everything changed color. Only Liu Bei and Zhao Xu did not change their faces.

Zhao Xu said: "Don't worry, everyone, and see what he wants." ”
