The civil officials and generals entered the main hall one after another, and Liu Wei always sat upright, and only after everyone sat down in order did he speak: "Ministers, I summoned you and others because there is an urgent military matter to discuss with you!" ”

Hearing that there was an urgent military discussion, Chen Gong and Tian Feng, who had already received the news, had solemn expressions on their faces, and the others were all confused.

Especially the people who were originally under Cao Cao's command, it was extremely difficult to get key information in Luoyang City, not to mention the important military information that Liu Bei led the army to Luoyang.

In front of everyone who was originally subordinate to Cao Cao, when Liu Wei said the words "urgent military intelligence", all the ministers who had only served the Han court for a long time had indescribable expressions on their faces.

Originally, they thought that they had served the Han court, and because they had fought against Liu Wei in the past, they would never be reused.

Unexpectedly, when Liu Wei had urgent military affairs to discuss with his ministers, he summoned all of them to the main hall.

Obviously, Liu Wei did not treat them as outsiders.

The ministers and generals in the main hall all focused their eyes on Liu Bian, and Liu Bian's gaze also scanned over them.

"I don't know why, Liu Wei launched troops and horses and advanced to Luoyang!" Looking around at everyone, after a while, Liu Wei spoke: "The leader is Liu Bei, who was defeated by Cao Cao that day and fled to Jingzhou. It is said that Liu Bei got Zhuge Liang, and now he is like a tiger with wings! ”

"Don't worry about it!" After Liu Wei finished speaking, a fierce general stood up, hugged his fists and bowed to him and said: "Liu Bei is just a villain who weaves mats and sells shoes, and when the Han Heavenly Soldiers arrive, I am afraid that it will be too late for him to escape." If His Majesty launches a large army, the last general is willing to be a pioneer! ”

Looking at the general who stood up, Liu recognized him as Xiahoudun, who was originally subordinate to Cao Cao.

Xiahoudun had led the army to fight with the Han army in his early years, and he also knew the combat strength of the Han army, and when he said this, he was very confident.

His eyes stayed on Xiahou Dun's body, a smile appeared on the corner of Liu Bian's mouth, and he said to him: "Since Yuan Rang wants to lead the army, he will be the commander, how can he only be a pioneer?" ”

didn't expect Liu Wei to say such a thing, Xiahou was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly lowered his head, and his heart was suddenly full of panic.

Back then, Cao Cao and Liu Wei competed for the Central Plains, and Liu Bei jumped up and down like a clown, and Xiahoudun also despised him.

It is precisely for this reason that Liu Wei said that Liu Biao sent Liu Bei, and Xiahoudun stood up and expressed his willingness to be a pioneer.

Liu Wei said that he wanted him to lead the three armies, but he couldn't believe that this was the truth from the bottom of his heart, and thought that it was because he rashly opened his mouth, which made Liu Wei unhappy, and deliberately used words to stimulate him.

Panicked in his heart, Xiahoudun hung his head down, and didn't even dare to look at Liu Wei more.

Staring at Xiahoudun, a faint smile appeared on the corner of Liu Wei's mouth, and he asked, "Could it be that Yuan Rang is unwilling to share my worries?" ”

Xiahou was already very worried in his heart, and when Liu Wei asked again, he didn't dare to respond, clasped his fists with both hands, and lowered his head.

"Yuan Rang, don't you think I'm joking at you?" Seeing that Xiahoudun's expression was panicked, Liu Wei smiled slightly and said to him: "Yuan, don't worry too much, what I said is from the bottom of my heart!" ”

Liu Wei emphasized that not only Xiahoudun, but even the other people sitting in the hall were all stunned.

Xiahoudun joined the Han Dynasty and never led the army to fight.

These days, he has been spending time in Luoyang City.

Liu Wei asked him to lead the army to the expedition, in case he came back to the carbine, Luoyang would be even more critical!

Everyone's eyes were all focused on Liu Wei's face, especially those ministers and generals who had been under Cao Cao's command earlier, and their expressions were even more complicated and strange.

Seeing the worry on everyone's faces, Liu Wei smiled and said: "The reason why Liu Biao dared to send troops to Luoyang is probably because he saw that there was no one under my command. But he didn't know that I had a new group of pillars of the court! This time Liu Bei led the army to come, and we just wanted him to know that the Han Dynasty was not as lacking as they imagined! ”

When he said these words, Liu Wei's tone was very indifferent, as if he was saying something that had nothing to do with him.

But in the ears of those courtiers who have just joined the Han court, it has a different taste.

These people had all fought against the Han army earlier, and some even made great contributions to Cao Cao on the battlefield.

As criminal ministers, they didn't dare to expect to be reused by Liu Wei, but they didn't expect that there would not be much time to serve the Han court, and the opportunity to reuse them would come.

"I've made up my mind!" Looking around at the people in the main hall, Liu Wei said with a solemn face: "Send troops to meet Liu Bei, and Yuan Rang will lead the army!" ”

In front of the ministers of the court, Liu Wei said that he would lead the army, and Xiahou Xuan, who was still full of disbelief, was stunned, and actually forgot to thank him.

was looking at Liu Wei with a stunned face, and Xiahoudun heard an overwhelming voice beside him: "Yuan Rang, don't you want to thank you soon?" ”

Sitting next to Xiahoudun was Cao Ren, who was also a member of the Cao Cao clan with him.

After Cao Ren's whispered reminder, Xiahoudun hurriedly strode to the middle of the main hall, shook off his clothes, half-knelt on the ground, looked at Liu Wei with his fists and said: "Your Majesty trusts the guilty minister, and the criminal minister will live up to Your Majesty's grace!" ”

With a faint smile floating on the corner of his mouth, Liu Wei raised his hand towards Xiahou Xuan, and his gaze fell on Sima Yi's face again.

Under Cao Cao, Sima Yi has never been reused.

When Liu Wei ordered Xiahoudun to lead the army to meet Liu Bei, the expression on Sima Yi's face did not change at all.

Among the people under Cao Cao, his military exploits were not outstanding, and his previous appearances were not very outstanding.

Liu Wei would choose to let Xiahoudun lead the army, and Sima Yi also thought that he had chosen the right person.

It's just that he didn't expect that after ordering Xiahoudun to be the commander of the three armies to meet Liu Bei, Liu Wei would turn his attention to him.

"Zhongda!" Staring at Sima Yi, seeing that Sima Yi didn't have the slightest intention of speaking, Liu Wei opened his mouth and asked him first: "Liu Bei led the army to come, what does Zhong Da think our army should do before intercepting Liu Bei outside Luoyang?" ”

There were many world-famous ministers sitting in the main hall, Sima Yi didn't expect Liu Wei to ask him a question, he was stunned for a moment, and then quickly stood up, hugged his fists and bowed down and said: "Your Majesty, although the minister has some ideas, and there are many elders here, the minister is still young, and I am afraid that the thinking is not thorough enough......"

"Okay!" Before Sima Yi finished speaking, Liu Wei waved his hand at him and said, "Don't talk to me about these things that you have or don't, you just have to say, in your opinion, what should I do to make Liu Bei withdraw from the army?" ”

Maintaining the posture of clenching his fists and bowing, Sima Yi pondered for a moment before he spoke: "The minister thinks that Liu Bei led the army here and has no determination to break Luoyang!" ”

"Oh?" Sima Yi's words aroused Liu Wei's interest, he tilted his head, stared at Sima Yi without blinking, and asked him, "Why did Zhong Da say this?" Then Liu Bei led the army here, if he didn't have the determination to break through Luoyang, could it be that he made a special trip to demonstrate to me? ”

Putting down the fists he had picked up, Sima Yi straightened his chest and said to Liu Biao: "Liu Biao has always been gentle, but he has had friction with the Jiangdong Sun family from time to time, and he has never coveted the Central Plains. This time, a large army was sent to advance to Luoyang, and it was definitely secretly instigated by some of Jingzhou's pro-Liu Bei's staff. Although Liu Biao said that he had a gentle character, his ears were very soft, and he couldn't resist the instigation of everyone all day long, thinking that he had obeyed something, so he sent troops to march into Luoyang. ”

Listening to Sima Yi's analysis, Liu Wei never had any expression on his face.

Sima Yi only analyzed the superficial phenomenon, and did not say more in-depth content, what he was waiting for was nothing more than Sima Yi to say the deeper words.

"Liu Bei has been in Jingzhou for some years now." Looking at Liu Biao, Sima Yi continued: "Liu Biao may not be defensive against him, but what kind of person is Liu Bei?" In Jingzhou for many years, why don't you do some actions? ”

Sima Yi's words happened to speak of Liu Wei's heart, a faint smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and he nodded slowly.

In his early years, Liu Bei also wanted to rely on Liu Bian, but Liu Bian was lukewarm to him and didn't give him a chance to get close at all.

Knowing what benefits he couldn't get from Liu Wei, Liu Bei finally threw himself into Liu Xie.

It's a pity that Liu Xie is not a decisive and decisive monarch like Liu Bian, who has the courage to compete for the world, Liu Bei is close to Liu Xie, just to get a high-sounding title of imperial uncle.

When the title of Uncle Huang arrived, he betrayed Liu Xie without hesitation, if it weren't for Liu Wen's intervention, Concubine Dong would have been in a different place.

The death of Dong Cheng and others undoubtedly has to be counted on Liu Bei's head!

He didn't have a good impression of Liu Bei, and when Sima Yi said these words, Liu Wei was full of approval.

Seeing Liu Wei nodding, Sima Yi continued: "Your Majesty, then Liu Bei is in Jingzhou, and he tried his best to persuade everyone to instigate Liu Biao to march to Luoyang, not to really take Luoyang, but to want His Majesty to send troops south, so that he can take the opportunity to get a piece of the pie!" ”

Liu Wei sent troops south, and it was absolutely impossible to leave a disaster like Liu Bei.

When Sima Yi said that Liu Bei wanted to stimulate Liu Wei to send troops south to get a piece of the pie, Liu Wei's brows gradually twisted, and he asked, "Zhong Dajue, how can Liu Bei get some benefits from it?" ”

"Majesty!" Holding his fists again and making a big salute to Liu Wei, Sima Yi said: "At present, although the Han Iron Cavalry is invincible, the southwest has also been pacified, and the Han army is not ready to go south. If His Majesty is angry and decides to send troops to Jiangnan immediately, Liu Bei will definitely unite with the Jiangdong Sun clan and use the Yangtze River to confront His Majesty. In order to protect their own foundation, it is difficult to say that the Jiangdong Sun clan will not confront the Han Dynasty! ”

Pinching his chin, Liu Wei thought for a while before asking Sima Yi: "In this way, Liu Bei has already made preparations to withdraw from the army, what should I do to make him withdraw safely?" ”
