Chapter 67: The Storm Rises Again
Luoyang City sanitation four stops, Xiongguan is numerous, the situation is dangerous, Hangu Pass, Yique Pass, Guangcheng Pass, Taigu Pass, Yuyuan Pass, Revolving Gate Pass, Mengjin Pass, Xiaopingjin Pass, synthetic Luoyang Eight Pass. Among them, the revolving gate pass is the three British battle Lu Bu, the world-famous tiger prison pass, that is, the Bishui Pass.
Among these eight passes, in the hands of Zhang Xiu, only Guangcheng Pass in the north of Nanyang, and the remaining seven passes, Hangu Pass are in the hands of Li Guo and the others, and Yuyuan Pass, Tiger Prison Pass and Mengjin Pass are all in the hands of Lao Cao. If Liu Xie wants to occupy Luoyang, then these eight levels must be caught.
It can be said that Chen Gong's thoughts coincide with Liu Xie and his brothers. Only in this way can Luoyang get its hands on it. Otherwise, it's just making a wedding dress for someone else. Lao Cao had the strength to occupy Luoyang, but he did not have the ability to reorganize Luoyang, just to occupy these passes to prevent Li Guo and the others from invading eastward. Of course, Lao Cao looks up to Li Guo and the others, and these two people don't have the ability to invade the east at all.
If Liu Xie went to Luoyang without getting these passes, then if there was a war in the future, the active surname would not be in his hands. Lao Cao can take advantage of these dangers to attack and defend. And in the face of these dangers, Luoyang is like an unguarded beauty.
However, Liu Xie also knows that this is definitely not something that Lao Cao can agree to so easily. Those passes are important to Liu Xie, but they are equally important to Lao Cao. Can Lao Cao give away what is beneficial to himself?
Not only is Lao Cao a smart person, but there are also a lot of smart people around Lao Cao, how can they not see the important surnames of these passes?
Liu Xie looked at Brother Zhu and said with a smile: "Kong Ming, if you are asked to send Cao Ying, what do you think?" ”
Brother Zhu didn't expect that Liu Association would have such an idea, shouldn't this kind of thing be the kind of person who looks more stable? Even Chen Gong didn't think that Liu Association had this idea, what does this mean? This is the meaning of wanting to vigorously cultivate this Zhuge Liang!
Brother Zhu thought for a moment and said, "There is no problem for Weichen to send an envoy. But now the question is, is Zhang Xiu really willing to surrender? If he surrenders now, will he fight back after Luoyang is newly built in the future? After all, he has no enmity with Lao Cao, and he has betrayed His Majesty once......"
Chen Gong also felt a little uncomfortable in his heart, it stands to reason that he knew Lao Cao, and he should have a higher surname when he went to the mission, but Liu Xie let Brother Zhu go. Is there also a reason why Liu Xie doesn't trust him very much?
But thinking about it, Chen Gong also feels that this is understandable, after all, he has just surrendered, and he has indeed betrayed Liu Xie, and now that he has not been attacked, how will others look at him? And he and Lao Cao are old acquaintances, will he have Cao Ying in his heart? He's sure he won't, but what will others think?
And let Zhang Xiu go to Luoyang, Brother Zhu did not have so much confidence to guarantee that Zhang Xiu would not throw himself on Lao Cao's side.
Chen Gong also felt that this possible surname did not exist, after all, Zhang Xiu and Lao Cao really had no hatred, and Chen Gong also vaguely guessed that Liu Xie asked Zhang Xiu to go to Luoyang, and there might be a meaning for him to attack Li Guo and the others. But Zhang Xiu and Li Guo are old acquaintances, and they are also the kings of Li Guo and the others, will they directly help Li Guo and the others when the time comes, and turn around to deal with Liu Xie? This is also something that has to be guarded against.
When Chen Gong expressed the worry in his heart, Liu Xie looked at Chen Gong and said, "Then according to Gongtai's opinion, how should he be restricted?" ”
Chen Gongmeiyu frowned slightly, gritted his teeth at the end, bowed his head and said, "Weichen thinks that this person is none other than Your Majesty!" ”
Hearing this answer, Liu Xie chuckled, knowing what Chen Gong was worried about. However, Liu Xie shook his head and said, "Actually, what I want is General Fengxian." However, it is not unreasonable for the public station to be worried, and I do have the intention of asking Zhang Xiu to cooperate with General Chen! ”
Brother Zhu thought for a while and said, "Weichen is willing to go!" ”
……
The next day, Brother Zhu went to Nanyang again, of course, the purpose was to confirm whether Zhang Xiu was really willing to surrender, and if so, then go to Lao Cao to take a walk. Accompanying him, in addition to Zhang Liao, the deputy envoy, there was also Lu Meng, and the hundred divine guards led by Lu Meng.
sent Zhang Liao with him, that is because Zhang Liao and Zhang Xiu are old acquaintances, and there can be someone who can speak close to each other, which can ease Zhang Xiu's emotions. In fact, Liu Xie was more willing to send Lu Bu with him, but after thinking about it, he gave up because he was a little worried about Lu Bu's principled surname.
And Lu Bu is so 'simple', if he is used by Zhang Xiu, it will be a bad thing. And Zhang Liao can be said to be the first person under Lu Bu, and going to meet Zhang Xiu is not an insult to Zhang Xiu. In addition, Zhang Liao is far more stable than Lu Bu, and with him in charge, Liu Xie can also rest assured.
After all, Brother Zhu and Lu Meng are both young men, with no hair on their mouths, and they can't do things well! It's easy to lose confidence.
Because this matter is not a matter of one or two days, Liu Xie did not continue to stay in Yufu, but went back to Chengdu. Although he also felt that he was the best person to control Zhang Xiu, and he was the best person to lead Zhang Xiu's troops to Heluo to rebuild Luoyang, this matter was not urgent.
Zhang Xiu has to be allowed to have a process of adaptation first, and if Zhang Xiu just pretends to surrender, then he will run away and throw himself into the net. Although Liu Xie is confident, he has not yet handed over his surname to a person who he can't predict.
In history, when Zhang Xiu surrendered to Lao Cao, Lao Cao had been defeated twice by Zhang Xiu, and his son, nephew, and beloved general all died in the hands of Zhang Xiu. Therefore, the people in Lao Cao's camp will naturally not have a very good face towards Zhang Xiu, and Zhang Xiu's final fate also shows that Lao Cao's camp did not really accept him.
But now it is different, the current Zhang Xiu and Lao Cao have not become mortal enemies, and their sons, nephews, and love generals have not died. Therefore, Liu Xie didn't dare to gamble with his own life, because there was no need.
Whether Zhang Xiu agrees or not, the impact on Liu Xie has no effect on the surname. If Zhang Xiu is willing to surrender, then his road to reunification can be smoother. If Zhang Xiu is unwilling to surrender, then his road to reunification will be bumpy. That's all!
Moreover, it's been a month or two since the time, and Xiliang's side should also be time to make a decision!
This time, Liu Association brought Lu Bu, after all, this tiger is still quite famous in Xiliang and the northern region.
But what Liu Xie didn't expect was that before he returned to Chengdu, bad news came from Xiliang. Mahan has another sign of reconciliation! (To be continued.) )
