"Han Xian only has the remnants of the defeated army left, and it is difficult to protect himself, why would he fight the idea of the Son of Heaven?"

Wang Meng frowned unusually with a serious expression. "Han Xian would not know the movements of the Son of Heaven so well, and he did not have the foresight and courage to hold the Son of Heaven hostage to the princes. A certain fear is that he was instructed by someone else to ......"

"Yuan Shu!" Liu Mang reacted immediately.

Among the three major commanders of the White Wave Army, Han Xian and Yuan Shu were the closest. Han Xian's idea of beating the Son of Heaven must have been secretly instructed by Yuan Shu.

"Could it be that Yuan Shu wants to blackmail the Son of Heaven to control the princes?"

Wang Meng shook his head with a more solemn expression. "If Yuan Shu wants to emulate He Jin and Dong Zhuo, he will definitely take this opportunity to order all the princes in his alliance to jointly send troops to meet the holy car. This is a great opportunity to earn fame, the Yuan family has a good reputation, and Yuan Shu will not let go of this opportunity. ”

The more Liu Mang listened, the more nervous he became. "And what does he want?"

"I didn't send troops, but let Han Xian come forward, there was only one purpose - to kill the Son of Heaven!"

"Huh?!" Liu Mang was shocked. "Harming the Son of Heaven, what benefits can Yuan Shu get?"

"The lord is planning for the world, and needs development and stability, but some princes need chaos in the world. Yuan Shu is like this, if he harms the Son of Heaven, he will either set up another puppet or stand on his own. ”

"Something with a human-faced beast's heart!" Liu Mang scolded, "He wants chaos in the world, and we want stability." He wants to harm the Son of Heaven, so we must protect the Son of Heaven. However, if Yuan Shu intervenes, with our current strength on the north bank of the Yellow River, it will not be enough to stop its edge. ”

"The subordinates are worried, and this is exactly what they are worried about. When the Son of Heaven returns to the east, he must pass through Hongnong. The princes of the world, who can directly intervene in Hongnong, except for our annexation of the state and Nanyang Yuan Shu, the only hussar general Zhu Gongwei stationed in Luoyang. Zhu Gongwei is highly respected, and if he joins forces, Yuan Shu will have a bad heart and be a little more jealous. ”

Liu Mang nodded. "Mr. Berwyn is in Luoyang, and I will immediately send a letter to Zhu Huqi and Mr. Berwyn."

Liu Mang's words are not on the table. If you write a letter to Zhu Jun in person, the words are too poor and you are suspected of being disrespectful.

Wang Meng wrote to explain the idea of joining forces to protect the holy car. As for Yuan Shu's conspiracy, it was just speculation after all. You can't say it to Zhu Jun. It just shows that the remnants of the Baibo army are wandering in the Hongnong area, and Zhu Jun is invited to send troops to jointly protect the holy car.

Liu Mang personally wrote a secret letter to Liu Bowen. In the letter, he explained his and Wang Meng's speculation about Yuan Shu's conspiracy. Liu Bowen is sleek and knows how to communicate with Zhu Jun.

In order to ensure the safety of the Son of Heaven, Liu Mang ordered Qin Qiong and Shan Xiongxin to send troops from Fenglingdu and Hebei respectively. Go to the south bank of the Yellow River, between Tongguan and Hongnong City, and prepare to respond.

"If Yuan Shu is mad, it is still difficult to ensure the safety of the Son of Heaven with such an arrangement, and the lord must consider it."

Liu Mang said: "I've already thought about it. Yang Feng Hu Cai's Baibo Army will not withdraw from Hongnong for a while, and our Hezhou Army is unable to expel it for the time being. If Yuan Shu intervened, it would be difficult for the Son of Heaven to return to the Eastern Capital. If it really doesn't work, take the Son of Heaven to Hedong first. After Hongnong and Luoyang stabilized, the Son of Heaven returned to the Eastern Capital. ”

Wang Meng nodded. "Welcoming the Son of Heaven to Hedong is not the best choice, but it is also an emergency avoidance."

……

While Liu Mang Wang Meng was discussing how to protect the Son of Heaven, Nanyang Yuan Shu was also thinking about how to cause the Son of Heaven to die.

Han Xianhedong was defeated, and Yuan Shu heard the news and became angry.

Han Xian's defeat almost disrupted Yuan Shu's entire plan.

Send someone to secretly order Han Xian to return to the banks of the Yellow River at the same time. Yuan Shu had to consider other means.

"Han Siam Waste!" Yuan Shu threw aside the information of Hedong and Hongnong, "Losing troops and breaking generals will be a big deal for me!" ”

"Don't be impatient, the lord is a little restless, there is still room for maneuver in things." Li Zhu said confidently.

"Oh?"

"Just tweak the original strategy a little bit. Everything is still in the master's hands. ”

"How?"

"Welcome to the Holy Driver."

"What?!" Yuan Shu roared.

tried his best to kill Liu Xie, the son of heaven. Why does Li Zhu want to welcome the Son of Heaven again?

Li Zhu smiled, and after selling enough, he slowly said his poisonous plan.

"The Son of Heaven returns to the east, as long as he leaves Tongguan, Xiaoer Liu Mang will send soldiers and horses to protect him. And Luoyang Zhu Gongwei. It's also always thinking about returning home. Han Xian was defeated in Hedong, and his remnants were defeated, which was no longer enough to achieve the wish of the lord. The lord must send troops to welcome the Son of Heaven! ”

"This, this!" Yuan Shu was so angry that he turned around in the room, "Li Zhu, Li Zhu, if you want to welcome that little emperor, do you still need to plan for me?" ”

Li Zhu was not in a hurry, and smiled sinisterly. "Only when the lord sends troops, welcomes the holy driver, and then orders Han Xian to rob the camp, can he succeed."

"No way!" Yuan Shu categorically vetoed, "If the little emperor dies in my army, won't I become the target of the public?" ”

"Hey, hey, hey......" Li Zhu's laughter was cunning and insidious. There is a suitable person in Nanyang who can take on this matter for the lord. ”

Li Zhu didn't say it explicitly, but Yuan Shu was also a sinister person, and after a moment's pause, he had already understood Li Zhu's meaning.

"Ma Riyan?"

"Not bad! Ma Riyan was the prince of the dynasty and ranked above the three dukes. The lord only needs to say a few words, and he will be happy to go and welcome the holy driver. He has no soldiers or horses under his command, so he will ask his lord to borrow them. ”

"Oh...... Wonderful! Yuan Shu suddenly realized.

Ma Riyan is the master of the dynasty, and he came forward to take over, which is the most justifiable. Even if the little emperor Liu Xie was picked up by the Bingzhou army, as long as Ma Riyan came forward, the Son of Heaven would definitely be willing to follow Ma Riyan, and Liu Mang of Bingzhou could not find a reason to refuse.

When Ma Riyan received the holy car, he could order Han Siam to attack Ma Riyan's camp at night.

And the team that Ma Riyan brought to escort was borrowed from Yuan Shu. When Han Xian attacked at night, the Nanyang soldiers only needed to flee and leave, and Han Xian could kill the little emperor Liu Xie as planned.

And the responsibility for killing the Son of Heaven lies with Han Xian and Ma Riyan, and has nothing to do with his Yuan Shu.

However, Yuan Shu was still not at ease. "Luoyang Zhu Gongwei also has a heart of flattery, if he sends troops and joins Ma Riyan, wouldn't it be a bad thing?"

Li Zhu said: "This matter is very easy, just a little action, it can make it impossible to send troops. ”

"How?"

"The lord spent a little money and food to support Yang Feng and Hu Caibu in Hongnong. Although they will not defect to the lord, they can become a barrier and block the way for Luoyang to welcome the Son of Heaven. ”

Yuan Shu shook his head. "Yang Feng and Hu Cai are all insatiable. A certain person once intended to solicit, but it was difficult to accept his heart. After providing money and food, they are afraid that they will not work hard. ”

Li Zhu said with a smile: "If the lord is reluctant to pay for food, then there will be some trouble around Luoyang, making it difficult for Zhu Jun to get out of Luoyang." It's just that the lord is going to give up some people. ”

"Giving up? Who? ”

Li Zhu smiled but did not answer, and reached out and dotted on the map.

Yuan Shuleng was stunned. "Mr. Li is really well-informed."

The two of them burst out laughing.

The place that Assistant Li pointed out was Songshan Mountain in the north of Yingchuan County, Yuzhou under the rule of Yuan Shu, and it was close to Yin, Henan, Sili, where Luoyang was located.

In Songshan, the remnants of the Yellow Turban are entrenched, led by He Yi, Liu Pi, Huang Shao, He Man and others.

Yuan Shu seized Yingchuan, and this group of bandits secretly took refuge in Yuan Shu, and Yuan Shu let them continue to stay in the Songshan area.

Li Zhu suggested that Yuan Shu let He Yi and others come forward to disturb Luoyang, stumble Zhu Jun, and then let Ma Riyan come forward to welcome the holy driver, and Han Xian took the opportunity to intercept and kill.

The poisonous plan has been decided, and the confrontation between Liu Mang and Yuan Shu is about to begin. (To be continued.) )
