"Lord, there are people outside asking to see you." On this day, Liu Pet was handling official business in the study, and a personal soldier came in to report.

Liu Pet is about thirty, with a Chinese face, a wide face, and a knife-cut face with a bold and resolute look, and he groaned slightly, and then Liu Pet asked, "Who asked to see?" ”

"He said his name is Xu Shu, Xu Yuanzhi!"

"It's him." He was no stranger to Xu Shu and Liu Pet, and waved his hand, "Let him come in, I'll see him in the main hall." ”

After a short time, Xu Shu, who was dressed in a plain white robe, was taken to the main hall, and after seeing Liu Pet, Xu Shu seemed to have seen an old friend, and greeted with a smile, "King Chen, I haven't seen you for many days, don't come unharmed?" ”

Liu Chong nodded, "Everything is fine, Yuan Zhi, aren't you studying in Xiangyang, why are you free today, come to my Chen Kingdom." ”

Liu Chong is brave and martial, straightforward and refreshing, and has a wide range of contacts, in the early years, when Xu Shu was still a ranger, they met.

Before, Xu Shu recommended two people to Zhao Yun, one of them was the Sword Saint Wang Yue, and the other was Chen Wang Liu Pet.

Compared with Liu Bei, King Chen is a genuine Han clan relative, he is the great-great-grandson of Emperor Liu Zhuang of the Han Ming Dynasty, the great-grandson of Liu Xian, the king of Chen Jing, the grandson of Liu Chong, the king of Chen Qing, and the son of Liu Cheng, the king of Chen Xiao.

Although Liu Bei claimed to be the great-great-grandson of Emperor Xiaojing, he relied on his decline to sell straw shoes for a living, and the identity of this clan was greatly discounted and unconvincing.

Liu Sheng, King Jing of Zhongshan, is the son of Emperor Jing and the half-brother of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty.

From Liu Sheng to Liu Bei for hundreds of years, more than ten generations, 120 sons gave birth to grandchildren, and grandsons have great-grandchildren, it is estimated that all the people surnamed Liu in Zhongshan may be the descendants of King Jing of Zhongshan.

Xu Shu glanced at Liu Chong, "King Chen, you and I are not outsiders, I have recommended Zhao Yun to you before, and Zhao Yun has personally visited King Chen, but I don't understand why you refuse to leave Chen and go to Luoyang." ”

"It seems that Yuan Zhi came forward in person and came as a lobbyist." Liu Pet smiled and waved his hand, signaling for the servant to retreat.

"You also know that I have a special identity, and when I go to Luoyang, there must be gossip behind me, if I have a bad reputation for intentions, I'm afraid I can't argue."

Liu Pet sighed, and said, "Zhao Yun I have already seen, this Wen Taowu strategy, are all good, treat people kindly, respect the virtuous and love talents, in my house, full of three days, I talked with him very happily, it can be said that it was like a familiar thing at first sight, I mean, he also understands, since it is the prince and the king, the capital is still trying not to get involved." ”

Throughout the ages, as long as it is the royal family, as long as it is capable and famous, the situation will be very embarrassing, even if it is not killed by the above, it will find a reason to be released, and the farther away from the Beijing Division, the more relieved the emperor will be.

Even if the royal family is in decline now and the Han family has completely declined, Liu Pet has always adhered to his duty, and Zhao Yun persuaded him several times, but he did not nod.

Staying in Chen State, he governed the place with peace of mind, handled it up and down in an orderly manner, and won the support of the local people, Chen Xiang Luo Jun is also virtuous and diligent, fair, and is his right-hand man, although he is saddened by the foundation of the Liu family, but Chen Wang also knows that his strength is weak and he is powerless to change the situation.

Liu Pet told Xu Shu everything he thought in his heart and told Xu Shu, "Yuan Zhi, Zhao Yun has already understood my hard work, he didn't force it anymore, and you don't have to persuade it anymore." ”

"Really? Is this what you are talking about? ”

The corners of Xu Shu's mouth hooked a strange arc, and he teased and quipped, "Anyway, I don't believe it, you should know that Yuan Shao sent 50,000 troops, and he will come to Luoyang City in the near future, and General Zhao is not in Luoyang at the moment, the Son of Heaven is still on the way back to the east, there are chasing soldiers behind, and there are strong enemies in front, aren't you worried?" ”

“……”

Liu Chong was silent for a while, then shook his head, "I believe that General Zhao will definitely have the ability to turn the situation around." ”

"King Chen, you are good at everything, but you are too stubborn, the Han family is declining, the court is turbulent, the heroes are rising, and there are many people with ill intentions, at this time you should stand up, carry the banner of Kuang Fu Han family, and unite with the outside world. Since you are not selfish, why bother looking ahead, what can you do if you go to Luoyang? Could it be that Your Majesty will kill you? Take 10,000 steps back, even if you are killed, you should go over without hesitation, the Han family has reached the most critical moment, the four-hundred-year-old Han foundation is in danger, hanging by a thread, what are you still hesitating about. ”

Liu Chong is very capable, he wants to be an innocent and loyal 'idle king', because he is a relative of the Han family, he doesn't want to arouse suspicion, these Xu Shu can see it very clearly.

Everyone else is doing everything possible to pull the tiger skin, wishing they could have a relationship with the Han family, Liu Pet is good, but he regards the identity of this Han family clan as a distress.

Xu Shu knows him very well, and the former Bohai King Liu Kui was framed by the eunuch Wang Fu for rebellion and forced to commit suicide in prison, which touched Liu Zhong deeply.

Later, Yuan Shao instigated Liu Yu to be the emperor of Youzhou, although Liu Yu did not nod and decisively refused, but Liu Chong felt that in the final analysis, it was the identity of the Han family that caused the disaster.

He regarded this identity as a burden in the way, and hated to dissociate himself from the Han family, but on the other hand, he was saddened by the decline of the Han family, and wanted to contribute his own strength, although he had been staying in the Chen State, Liu Chong was worried about the future of the Han family all the time.

Seeing that Liu Chong still didn't say anything, Xu Shu smiled instead, "Others say how King Chen loves the people like a son, how to govern well, is a rare master, before the princes begged Dong, do you still remember, you gave yourself a general of the Auxiliary Han Dynasty, but is there such a thing?" ”

Liu Chong nodded in a complicated mood, and Xu Shu said, "Just by this, it is enough to show that your heart and the Han family are always connected, don't hesitate anymore, in life, you only want to do things without regrets, you think too much, but you tie your hands and feet, not to mention that although the Son of Heaven is young, he is virtuous and famous, how can he be suspicious of you for no reason." ”

Xu Shu let it out this time, "If you don't agree, I will rely on your mansion, and we will watch from the sidelines, watching Yuan Shao defeat General Zhao and completely destroy the Han family." ”

Xu Shu's words made Liu Chong feel guilty in his heart, but for a while, it was difficult to make up his mind.

Xu Shu did not give up, and the plaster was generally attached to his body.

And on the Luoyang side, under the dispatch of Tian Feng and others, Yuan's troops were like bamboos and were about to come to Luoyang City.
