Chapter 417: Justified
After Pang Tong comprehended what Liu Feng was thinking, he couldn't help but take a few steps closer, and when Liu Feng approached, he asked, "But the lord wants to hold the current son of heaven Liu Xie hostage to my Yizhou?" This is a clever move, I Yizhou Xizuo has already found out that Liu Xie was transferred from Xuchang to Luoyang by Cao Zhi a few months ago, if Liu Xie can be controlled in our hands this time, there will be no weakness in the battle between the lord and Cao Zhi, and every time he sends troops, he can also justify it. ”
Pang Tongyi looked at the land of Luoyang, which is not far from Nanyang, and naturally knew Liu Feng's true intentions, Luoyang is the ancient capital of the dynasty, although now with the decline of the Han Dynasty and the status is not as good as before, but it still has a very large symbolic meaning, and the most important for Liu Feng today, Liu Xie, who represents the imperial power, was also placed under house arrest by Cao Zhi in the palace in Luoyang.
Pang Tongyan, Zhou Yu and Xu Shu all expressed their approval of this matter, obviously, Xu Shu only knew that Liu Feng's target was actually the land of Luoyang, as for what he wanted to do with Liu Xie, Liu Feng did not talk to Xu Shu in detail.
Who knew that Liu Feng shook his head slightly after seeing the expressions of the three of them, and then said: "Getting that Liu Xie is indeed beneficial to us, the reason why I chose the place of attack in Nanyang this time is indeed to attack Luoyang City in one go, but my ultimate goal is not to hold Liu Xie, who has only one name left, to my Yizhou." ”
"What does the lord want?" Looking at the smile on Liu's cover, Pang Tong and the others all felt a little chilled, and hurriedly blurted out a question.
For the expressions of the three people, Liu Feng seemed to have not seen it, and continued to patiently explain to the three of them: "The reason why Cao Zhi dared to divide the generals in his court is precisely because Liu Xie is in his hands, and with Liu Xie in his hands, any reward he gives will be named Liu Xie, which is why he has the harmony of the monarchs and ministers above the court now, after all, those official positions canonized by the emperor himself are much more pleasant to say than these various official positions I gave you. ”
Liu Feng said this, raised his eyes and looked at the three of them, and the three of them couldn't help but let out a wry smile, indeed, just like for Zhou Yu, in fact, all the mobile troops under Liu Feng's command were under his control, but without the personal canonization of the emperor of the Han Dynasty, Zhou Yu always felt that his position was not so stable, it was not that Liu Feng did not fulfill his trust in Zhou Yu, but that Zhou Yu had learned the system of the Han Dynasty since he was a child, so in order to make the hearts of the courtiers and generals under his command all down-to-earth, Liu Feng had already had an idea in his heart.
Seeing that the three of them just smiled but didn't say anything, Liu Feng cleared his throat and said again: "But if Liu Xie is held hostage to my Yizhou, wouldn't we be nominally bowing to Chen Chen, if he doesn't die for a day, we won't be able to get independence in the real sense for a day, even if I let this guy give me his throne, how many people in the world will scold me for being a person who is not actually a royal family and clan who has robbed the Han Dynasty and the foundation, so this Liu Xie is actually a hot potato for me Yizhou, There is no Liu Xie, but it is relaxed. ”
"Why does the lord still insist on going to attack Luoyang, since the lord doesn't care whether Liu Xie is controlled by us, we naturally have a better way, forgive Yu bluntly, this time to capture Nanyang, it must be a no-brainer, but if you want to occupy Luoyang in our hands for a long time, it is really extremely difficult......"
Hearing Liu Feng's words, he said that Liu Xie had no effect in his heart, Zhou Yu couldn't help but suggest, although attacking Nanyang is indeed a surprise choice, but it is difficult to attack north after defeating Nanyang, Luoyang is an important town, and Liu Xie is in Luoyang City, Cao Zhi has been sending the tiger idiot Xu Chu to guard in Luoyang City, Xu Chu is the most powerful person in the Wei State today, and it is conceivable that Cao Zhi will definitely send a scheming person to guard Luoyang with Xu Chu in one place, Therefore, it is not easy to attack Luoyang, let alone hold it firmly after capturing it.
"Gongjin don't be in a hurry, I really don't care if Liu Xie can be controlled by my Yizhou, but what I care about is that after I attack Luoyang, Liu Xie can no longer let Cao Zhi in his hands, and let this matter be known to everyone in the world, between me and Cao Zhi, only in this way can there be a fair contest, and then decide who should belong to this land of China."
As soon as Liu Feng said this, Zhou Yu and others were even more shocked, coercing the Son of Heaven to order the princes, this is what every force dreams of, and now Liu Feng obviously has such an opportunity, with their strength and strength, they can break through Luoyang, and once the time is right, as long as Liu Xie is held hostage from Luoyang, then the rest of Luoyang land is not to be done, in this way, this time the army has made great progress, but now, Liu Feng obviously does not want to do this, so as to do this, A terrible guess came to everyone's minds.
"The intention of the lord is to take advantage of our army's attack on Luoyang to kill that Liu Xie?" Finally, Pang Tong, who had no emotion for the Han Dynasty among the three, asked.
"Mr. Shiyuan's anger in his heart is really a bit heavy, letting Liu Xie disappear is not the same as killing him, now Liu Xie is being bullied in the hands of the Cao family, and his actual status is inferior to the low-level officials under Cao Zhi's command, if we rescue him from Cao Zhi's hands and send him to a place where no one knows about the rest of his life, how can he not miss me?"
"Then if we rescue them in vain, what will we get?" Obviously, everyone knows that Liu Feng is not a philanthropist, and the reason why he said this is definitely not because he really felt very sympathetic to Liu Xie's plight that he sent troops to Luoyang to rescue him.
"I give Liu Xie freedom, as long as Liu Xie helps us and make the world think that Cao Zhi killed him, he can ......"
Liu Feng finally said the most critical words, obviously, such a plan, he has been planning for a long time, with Liu Feng's domineering temperament, obviously will not leave the Son of Heaven on his side, and he is at most the king, he wants to establish his own dynasty and let it continue, and the biggest benefit of this brings to Liu Feng is that after announcing the fall of the Han Dynasty to the world, he can justifiably stand on another height, and the subsequent achievements will depend on the competition between Cao Zhi and Zhuge Liang.
