Chapter Eighty-Seven: Commanding the World
Liu Zhi originally wanted to place the emperor and civil and military officials in Luoyang, but considering that the Xiliang army was strong and strong, and Luoyang was also a ruin, he finally decided to take him out of the customs, and decided to follow Cao Cao's practice back then, and built another time in Yingchuan, called Xu Du, and then sent the emperor and others back after the Xiliang army was wiped out and the palace and city defense of Luoyang City were restored. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
Liu Zhi was worshiped by the emperor as the prime minister of the dynasty, and the general leader of the army's political affairs, Liu Zhi had this identity plus his original strength, which attracted many people to defect at once, and some of the literati who took refuge in Jingxiang were originally Hanshi, at this time they saw that the safety of Runan and Yingchuan was guaranteed, so they left Xiangyang and went north to Xuchang.
Suddenly, Liu Zhi's strength and prestige greatly improved.
On this day, above the court, Liu Zhi said to Emperor Xian: "Your Majesty, now that the Xiliang army occupies Chang'an, Xijing, the war is prolonging, the people are not happy, the upper does not respect the orders of the imperial court, and the lower disregards the livelihood of the Li people. ”
Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty is only a teenager, usually has always been obedient to Liu Zhiyan, Liu Zhi reported to him is just a formality, his previous ministers, such as Dong Cheng, Wang Yun and others have been alienated, although these people also have patriotism, but they have their own selfishness, Liu Zhi must not let them continue to stay with the young emperor, but considering that Emperor Xian is young and still at the age of education, so Liu Zhi came to the door three times, and then invited Cai Yong out of the mountain, worshiped him as the prince, and was in charge of the young emperor's studies, Strive to cultivate an excellent Mingjun for the Han!
"What the prime minister said is very true, quasi-play, I will make an order, send an order to the princes of the world, gather the righteous army to restore Xijing!"

In Pingyuan County, Zhang Fei hurriedly approached the big tent, and before the person entered the tent, the voice came in first: "Big brother and second brother, what are you calling me over in a hurry, I haven't been addicted yet!" ”
"Sandi, don't complain, wasn't I also called over by my eldest brother in a hurry? Go in and see what's going on with Big Brother! ”
Guan Yu's voice came from behind, Zhang Fei looked back, and found that Guan Yu was still behind him, so the two walked in together.
"Second brother, third brother, you are here!"
"Big brother, why are you in such a hurry to summon us?"
Zhang Fei is an anxious person, and he can't hold back the words in his stomach, how can he let Liu Bei make a short story and ask directly.
Guan Yu shook his head, his third brother's personality really couldn't be changed.
Liu Bei glared at him and said, "Third brother, what do you tell you on weekdays?" told you to guard against arrogance and rashness, you look at you, you are still this violent temper. ”
Seeing that Liu Bei seemed to be angry, Zhang Fei hurriedly covered his mouth, indicating that he would stop talking.
Liu Bei was going to create a tense atmosphere, but he didn't want to be gaged by Zhang Fei like this, the atmosphere made him lively, and he couldn't be more serious.
"Two virtuous brothers, my brother has just received the imperial decree! Say yes let's ・・・・・"
"Hey, there are still people who remember to send us a holy decree, shouldn't it be the same as the old puppet of Kong Rong last time, who came to us for help!"
As soon as Liu Bei's words were spoken, he was interrupted by Zhang Fei before he finished speaking, after Zhang Fei finished speaking, he found that the second brother's face was not good, and he seemed to be more red than before, and then looked at his eldest brother, hey, how do you feel redder than the second brother's face!
"Third brother, don't talk anymore, listen to what the eldest brother has to say!"
Guan Yu obviously also saw Liu Bei's red face, so he reminded him that his words looked like they were meant for Zhang Fei, but they were actually said to Liu Bei, reminding him that he still had important things to talk about.
Sure enough, after hearing Guan Yu's reminder, Liu Bei didn't say anything about Zhang Fei, but continued: "The holy decree was drafted by His Majesty himself, and the content on it was written by His Majesty himself, saying that it was a call on our Kwantung princes to crusade against the Xiliang Army together. ”
As soon as Zhang Fei wanted to speak, he was immediately glared at by Guan Yu, so he was so frightened that he didn't dare to speak.
"Big brother, the Kwantung Coalition Army crusaded against the Xiliang Army, which was once in the first year of Chuping, but it had no effect at all, although the army seemed to be outnumbered, but it couldn't even enter the Tiger Prison Pass, and finally the three of us defeated Lu Bu and entered the Tiger Prison Pass, but the princes stopped in Luoyang and let Dong Zhuo go in vain, it's only been two years, and this trick is still coming, is it useful?"
Guan Yu's words may be very representative, Liu Bei is sure that this holy decree must not only be issued to him alone, he can receive the holy decree with a small plain order, it is conceivable that people with a little strength and a little reputation in the world are afraid that they have received such a holy decree.
And this time, the situation is very different from a few years ago, the Xiliang army experienced the defeat of Yangzhai, plus Dong Zhuo was killed, Lu Bu left, the strength of the Xiliang army was greatly weakened, and at this time Luoyang and Hujiao Pass were under the control of the imperial army, it can be said that this time to send troops to attack the Xiliang army, the probability of victory is much higher than the last time.
But there is one thing in this that makes Liu Bei a little puzzled, Liu Zhi already has 80,000 heavy soldiers in his hands at this time, occupying the entire Yuzhou and half of the division, it can be said that the soldiers are strong and strong, with his strength, even if the Xiliang army cannot be pacified in a war, then it can be slowly plotted, and why do you need to call on the princes of the world to raise troops together? There must be something else hidden here.
"Big brother, I don't think it's that simple, why don't we ask General Gongsun first, see how he is going to deal with this matter, and then it's not too late to make a decision!"
Guan Yu's words are similar to Liu Bei's thoughts, he is attached to Gongsun Chan at this time, although he is not Gongsun Chan's descendants, but he still has to listen to Gongsun Zhan's orders, if he doesn't discuss it with him before doing things, this is obviously not good.
"Pass the order, collect the troops immediately, and call Zilong back, third brother, you stay in the plain and wait for our news, and the second brother and Zilong will go with me to see Lord Gongsun!"
In the Jizhou Governor's Mansion, the new Governor Yuan Shao was looking at the holy decree sent to him by the imperial court, which named him to immediately stop fighting with Cao Cao and Gongsun Zhan, and immediately rushed to the Tiger Prison Pass with 30,000 soldiers and horses to prepare for the alliance.
Yuan Shao disdained this, the holy decree of the imperial court? Hum! Whose court is the court? He Liu Zhi's court! The emperor is just a puppet, with a puppet, he wants to call him around, that is too underestimate him Yuan Shao, but it is a pity that Liu Dai was killed by Gongsun Zhan's old puppet, otherwise he Yuan Shao would have an emperor in his hands who competed with the Xuchang court.
