In the first year of Jian'an, Cao Cao ordered the princes to move the capital to Xu County on the grounds that "Luoyang is broken".

Xu Du has thus started a new chapter.

After Cao Cao settled the capital in Xu, he carried out large-scale reconstruction and expansion of Xu County, and today's area has increased several times compared with the original, and the population is more than hundreds of thousands.

Although compared with Luoyang, there is still a big gap.

But after three years of construction, Xu Du has faintly revealed the imperial atmosphere.

After the Han Emperor moved the capital to Xu County, Cao Cao took the original Xu County as an inner city, which is the so-called imperial city.

Then the outer city was built outside the inner city, which was five times the size of the inner city. In the capital, there are many street houses and government offices, and there are several streets running through the city. The scale is not comparable to Luoyang, but the urban pattern is completely designed in accordance with Luoyang and Chang'an.

Since the Eastern Han Dynasty, the center of the dynasty was mainly Luoyang and Chang'an.

After the rise of heroes in the late Han Dynasty, Luoyang, Chang'an, experienced war and was dilapidated, which was no longer enough to continue to save the royal capital.

And Xudu, located in the south of the Yellow River, is backed by Songshan Mountain. From this to the north, you can reach the great river, the distance is only 200 miles; To the west, Luoyang, it is only more than 300 miles, on the one hand, it can make it easier for Cao Cao to control the situation, and on the other hand, it can allow Cao Cao to shake off the whirlpool of struggle.

Because the battlefield before Jian'an was mainly concentrated in the Heluo area from Chang'an to Luoyang and Chenliu.

Dingdu Xu County is undoubtedly the best choice for Cao Cao.

At the same time, because Xudu is located in the west of the Zhongzhou Plain, the climate is mild, the rivers are vertical and horizontal, and the rainfall is moderate, it is the land of fish and rice since the Qin and Han dynasties. Plus convenient transportation. It is conducive to solving the problem of Cao Cao's grain and grass supply. The Luoyang area of Chang'an, due to the perennial war, has long been poor and poor, and the population has withered. The economy withered, and the roots were not enough to give Cao Cao sufficient logistical support.

According to historical records, when Cao Cao moved the capital, he once played the Han Emperor and said: The eastern capital has been in ruin for a long time and cannot be repaired. It is also difficult to transport grain and grass. The ministers are expected to be close to Luyang, the city and the palace, and the money, food, and people can be prepared, but fortunately, Luanyu.

This is, of course, an excuse, but it is also true.

Even if the Han Emperor was reluctant, he could only follow Cao Cao's advice and come to Xudu from Luoyang.

It's just that when he arrived in Xudu, he found that the situation was not as good as he imagined.

Cao Cao seemed respectful to him. In fact, it is regarded as a puppet.

DPRK-China affairs. Han Digen could not participate in it. If the local music is sparse into the Sikong Mansion, it will no longer be reported, and most of the things that Liu Xie can call the shots are trivial things. Long ago. The power of the Han Emperor was bound to be hollowed out by Cao Cao, which was similar to Liu Xie's original idea. It's the opposite of what happened. It is precisely because of this that as time went by, Liu Xie's thoughts against Cao Cao became stronger and stronger.

If you can't take back the imperial power, what's the point of this emperor doing it?

But Cao Cao was powerful, and almost all of the Manchu Dynasty were his people, and there was no room for the Han Emperor to interfere.

The old ministers in the past were degraded and degraded, and some people were left who could only swallow their anger and dare not speak out. Xun Yu, the only one who has his heart towards the Han family, although he controls the Shangshu Mansion, has always bowed down to Cao Cao, which makes Liu Xie feel even more uncomfortable in his heart.

"Your Majesty, I heard that the Marquis of Guan Pavilion is here!"

In the Chengguang Palace, Emperor Han looked a little depressed, sitting on the dragon chair, sighing for a long time.

Empress Fu and Dong Guiren sat aside, seeing that Emperor Han was not very interested, and after the two couldn't help but glance at each other, Dong Guiren got up and asked.

"Liu Mengyan's idiot, I have a lot of convenience with him, how come I still lose to Cao Cao in the end?

Do you think it's bad for him to stay in the North Sea Country? Why do you want to go to Xuzhou to join in the fun? It turned out to be good, if it hadn't been for my edict, I am afraid he would not have been able to save his life. Such a stupid person, how can he help me succeed and prosper the Han dynasty? Every time I think about it, I feel a little sad. ”

Liu Xie looked annoyed and angry, and Queen Fu and Dong Guiren sat on the side, and couldn't help but look at each other.

When Liu Chuang sent troops to Xuzhou, the Han Emperor was still elated.

He felt that if Liu Chuang could stop Cao Cao's expedition to Xuzhou, he would definitely be able to sweep Cao Cao's face, and then he would have the opportunity to make trouble in the court.

What did you think......

But the problem is that Liu Chuang is not at fault for sending troops to Xuzhou.

The mistake was that Cao Cao was too cunning, and he actually persuaded Zang Ba in advance, so that Liu Chuang's back road was cut off, and he had to fight Cao Cao hard.

But this kind of thing cannot be said.

For Liu Xie, who has a strong self-esteem, pointing out your mistakes in front of him is a slap in the face, which will make him even more angry.

"Uncle Liu Huang sent troops this time, but he was a little reckless!

However, there is nothing wrong with his heart, but his strength is too weak, how can he compare to Cao Cao's tiger and wolf army? His Majesty, Uncle Liu Huang sits on Donglai, Beihai, which is a place where the people are poor and lacking. It is commendable to be able to break out of today's situation, and the concubine thinks that he still lacks power.

If Uncle Liu Huang sits in Guanzhong, he will definitely be able to defeat Cao Cao......"

What did Zitong say...... If I could have been with him, wouldn't I have been with him a long time ago? ”

"Yes, Uncle Liu Huang has no time and place, relying only on people and people, he still lacks some help."

Empress Fu comforted Emperor Han, but she was actually excusing Liu Chuang.

Since Liu Chuang repaid his kindness, he sent people to strengthen ties with Fu Wan intentionally or unintentionally, and also sent Fu Wan a lot of money and food in private.

Especially after Liu Chuang's great papermaking and compilation, it also made Fu Wan have a good impression of Liu Chuang.

So when talking about Liu Chuang with Queen Fu Shoufu, there are often words of praise. Over time, Fu Shou also developed a strong curiosity about Liu Chuang. A child who has been living in the people since he was a child and has experienced hardships, but now he has suddenly risen and become a prince, and he is as famous as a ruthless person like Lu Bu...... Empress Fu was very curious, what does such a person look like? She also admired Liu Chuang. is not like Liu Xie, who has such high requirements for Liu Chuang, Fu Shou believes that Liu Chuang started from scratch and has become what he is today in just two years, which is already commendable. If you pick and choose from him again, it will inevitably be a little difficult for Liu Chuang, but it will make Liu Chuang centrifuge......

After all, there are not many people who are loyal to the Han family and hold military power now.

Liu Xie listened to Fu Wan's persuasion, and couldn't help but sigh faintly.

Outside the palace, it was snowy.

In the Hall of Succession. The charcoal fire is blazing.

Liu Xie stood up, glanced at Fu Shou, and said softly: "I don't know that he has a hard time, and he is in Beihai. but they will be subject to many restraints.

But now, I can't help him much, and the only thing that can help him is in the name of his clan.

He is now defeated by Cao Cao. Wouldn't it cost me what I had done? This time he entered Xu Du, I am afraid that it will not be an easy thing to leave. ”

"My father said that although Uncle Liu Huang entered Beijing, he would not worry about his life in the short term.

Yingchuan gave him a lot of care, and presumably Cao Cao didn't dare to ruin his life at this time. The father also said that although he did not talk to Uncle Liu, he could feel it. Uncle Liu Huang's attitude towards Cao Cao was extremely tough. often shows unconvinced. I believe that he will not be restrained. Sooner or later, find a chance to get out. It's just that his father didn't dare to contact him at this time, so as not to make Cao Cao feel murderous. ”

"Even if you get out. And how? ”

Emperor Han sighed and said to himself, "Zitong can't see it. After Cao Cao pacified Xuzhou, the Beihai State was in danger. ”

He can be regarded as having gone through hardships, although he is trapped in the palace, his eyesight is not weak.

Liu Chuang's current predicament, of course, Emperor Han can see. It's just that in the current situation, he has the heart to help, but he can't support it......

"According to the concubine, Uncle Liu still lacks helpers?"

Dong Guiren suddenly spoke on the side, which made Emperor Han and Fu Shou stunned.

"What do you mean by that, sister?"

Dong Guiren hesitated for a moment and said softly: "I heard that today's princes are nominally respecting His Majesty, but in fact they are respecting Cao Cao...... Uncle Liu Huang is also alone in Beihai Kingdom, and his roots are powerless to compete with others. There is a way that the wood is beautiful in the forest, and the wind will destroy it. If there are more people like Uncle Liu in the clan, it will not be a thing, but at least it can be shared for Uncle Liu.

It seems that now, Uncle Liu Huang is alone, no matter how big he is, he can't compare to Cao Cao's old scheming.

This time he sent troops to Xuzhou, and in the end he was in danger. But among the princes, none of them was willing to send troops to respond, otherwise how could he be defeated? ”

Liu Xie and Fu Shou couldn't help but nod their heads again and again.

Indeed, Liu Chuang's struggle outside alone is too hard.

"Your Majesty pins your hopes on Uncle Liu Huang alone, but has Your Majesty ever thought that if Uncle Liu Huang is defeated, who else can support His Majesty?"

Fu Shou suddenly said: "Sister, but Dong Cheqi has a plan?" ”

"Yesterday, the concubine heard that her mother was seriously ill, so she went home to visit.

The father took the opportunity to say to his concubine: The power of the clan is too weak. Liu Biao in Jingzhou and Liu Zhang in Yizhou have the name of the clan, but they have never thought of serving the country. Although Uncle Liu Huang is loyal to His Majesty, after all, he rose too late and his strength is insufficient. The top priority is to expand the power of the clan, if there are more clans like Uncle Liu Huang in the world, can the Han family not prosper? ”

Emperor Han and Fu Shou couldn't help but nod their heads again and again.

"What Dong Guozhang said is extremely true."

"Sister, do you know, who else in the clan can be entrusted with the important task now?"

Emperor Han's eyes lit up and he looked at Dong Guiren.

Dong Guiren waited for Ai Ai, and after hesitating for a long time, he said in a low voice: "Father mentioned one person. It's just this person...... Do you still remember that Liu Bei and Liu Xuande, who had framed Uncle Liu Huang as a 'slave of the master's family'? This person is the queen of King Jing of Zhongshan, but he was kicked out of the clan by His Majesty last time. But this person ...... Father said that although Liu Bei had a bad relationship with Uncle Liu Huang, after all, he was also a clan and always had his heart set on the Han family.

His talent is quite outstanding, and even Cao Cao appreciates him very much.

If he has to re-enter the clan, he will definitely be grateful to His Majesty and serve loyally...... At that time, even if he and Uncle Liu Huang are not in harmony, they can still rely on it. No matter how bad it is, when Uncle Liu Huang gains power in the future, he can also have a containment, so as not to be like today, Cao Cao is dominant. ”

Liu Bei, Liu Xuande?

Emperor Han was stunned when he heard this name, and immediately showed a sudden look and nodded slightly.

"If Zitong didn't mention it, I would almost forget about this person.

Well, if it is according to what Dong Guozhang said, this Liu Bei is also a talent. No matter how bad it is, he can also share some pressure for Liu Mengyan, so that Liu Mengyan can get a respite. However, this person's character is ...... I am not very happy. If he is placed side by side with Liu Mengyan, what should he do if Liu Mengyan is angered? ”

Yes, the enmity between Liu Chuang and Liu Bei is as deep as the sea.

Wooing Liu Bei can certainly strengthen the power of the clan, but if you offend Liu Chuang because of this. Inevitably, some of the gains outweigh the losses.

In any case, Liu Chuang is in Beihai and Donglai, and the foundation has been set.

Not to mention that behind Liu Chuang, there is also faint support from the Yingchuan clan...... Liu Bei. To put it bluntly, it's just sending people under the fence and watching Cao Cao's face act. Who should you choose? Glance. Liu Xie was also worried that he would anger Liu Chuang because of Liu Bei. Not very cost-effective.

Dong Guiren listened and closed his mouth.

She just passed the word to Liu Xie, and when she finished speaking, she had no idea.

However, after listening to it, Fu Shou quickly had an idea, "Your Majesty, what my sister said is not unreasonable, if you can have one more clan loyal to Your Majesty, Your Majesty's strength can also increase by one point." But the key is still on Uncle Liu Huang. Concubines can figure it out. Let my father go to find out Uncle Liu's tone. But. Even if you win over Liu Bei, you don't have to give him too high treatment. is like Uncle Liu's kind of treatment, and he can no longer be with Liu Bei. Just include him in the clan. Then give him some rewards, and he will be satisfied. ”

Fu Shou didn't know much about Liu Bei's situation.

But in her opinion. A guy who slanders others behind his back, no matter how strong his ability is, his character is difficult to guarantee.

Such a person can be wooed, but he can't be given too high a salary...... Otherwise, it may become a second Cao Cao in the future.

Dividing the grades of treatment, Liu Chuang's rank is higher than Liu Bei's, presumably Liu Chuang will not be too annoyed.

In this way, it not only appeased Liu Chuang, but also won over Liu Bei, which can be described as the best of both worlds.

Liu Xie nodded again and again, and a warm smile immediately appeared on his slightly mean face, "What Zitong said is extremely true, since this is the case, I will act according to what Zitong said." However, this matter needs to be more careful. Uncle Liu Huang is now trapped in Xudu, and he is in danger, so he must not be noticed by Cao Cao. ”

Fu Shou smiled slightly, and hurriedly bowed to receive his life.

It's just that in my heart, I feel a little dissatisfied with Liu Xie's meanness.

When it can be used, it is 'Aiqing', that is, 'Uncle Huang'; if it is not used, it will be called by his name directly. If you don't change this habit, you will suffer sooner or later. But this is a matter of character, and Fu Shou doesn't know how to persuade Liu Xie to change.

Anyway, I believe that His Majesty has his own decision!

++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

In the city of Xudu, it is bustling and noisy.

Cao Cao's triumphant return made the people of Xudu feel extremely excited.

At the same time, Liu Chuang's arrival also made people happy and excited, and at the same time, they added a bit of goodwill.

I think that at the beginning, Xu County also belonged to Yingchuan County. Although Xu County has now become the capital of Xu, most people still regard themselves as Yingchuan people.

Liu Chuang happens to be from Yingchuan!

Yingchuan has been a famous man since ancient times, but when it comes to fierce generals, there are only a handful.

Since the end of the Han Dynasty, when the princes fought each other, people's curiosity about those brave men was far stronger than before.

Liu Chuang, after the Marquis of Zhongling, lived in the folk since childhood, and then rose in the rivers and lakes, known for his martial arts, known as the flying bear, and Lu Bu is equally famous.

Such a character is like a work of fiction.

So much so that many Yingchuan people are curious about Liu Chuang and feel cordial.

It's just that after Liu Chuang arrived in Xudu, he rarely showed up.

What about Cao Cao?

It also seems that he wants to dispel people's curiosity about Liu Chuang and dispel Liu Chuang's influence, so after Liu Chuang checked into the post station, he did not summon Liu Chuang again. As for the face saint? That requires Cao Cao's permission more, it's not that the Son of Heaven wants to see Liu Chuang, so he can see it.

Liu Chuang didn't seem to take this to heart.

Before he knew it, he had been in Xudu for three days. For three days, he spent most of his time in the inn without leaving the house, and did not see anyone. Cao Cao's thoughts, of course he knows. But he also knew that this kind of thing was not something that Emperor Han could decide, nor could he decide, it all depended on Cao Cao's thoughts. However, I believe that Cao Cao will not delay too long, after all, when the edict is issued, Liu Chuang will meet with Emperor Han sooner or later...... Cao Cao couldn't stop this, so Liu Chuang didn't feel flustered at all......

Time passed day by day.

Liu Chuang was in the post house, either studying, or acting in martial arts, but he was not very lonely.

Since breaking through the Dragon and Snake Transformation, Liu Chuang found that his qi strength had improved again, and his qi and blood had become stronger than before.

Liu Chuang didn't know what kind of realm he had reached now, and no one was competing with him.

Therefore, he had to work hard in the courtyard, and the rod became more and more comfortable.

When he had nothing to do, Liu Chuang would pull Xia Houlan to perform martial arts together, and even passed on the Cang Ape Transformation and the Mangniu Transformation in the Nine Changes of the Dragon and Snake to Xia Houlan.

In Xia Houlan's words, he has faintly felt that there are signs of a breakthrough recently.

You must know that Xiahou Lan has reached the peak realm of qi cultivation......

If Xiahou Lan can break through the realm of qi cultivation and reach the realm of refining gods, then among the generals under Liu Chuang, there will be one more fierce general who can take charge alone.

As soon as he thought of this, Liu Chuang was happy in his heart.

As a traverser, it is natural that there will be a preference for collecting famous generals.

Xia Houlan's name may not be loud in later generations, but in Liu Chuang's opinion, his talent is not inferior to Xu Sheng and others.

The most important thing is that Xia Houlan is very loyal.

This is a real person, and it is impossible to face Qin Duchu......

The only variable is Zhao Yun. Liu Chuang hoped to recruit Zhao Yun under his command through Xiahou Lan, but he didn't want to lure Xia Hou Lan away when he met Zhao Yun in the future. It is precisely for this reason that he is extremely kind to Xia Houlan, and he spares no blood to pass on his dragon and snake nine changes.

Now, Liu Chuang doesn't have to worry about Xiahoulan being hooked up, but in his heart, he is always thinking about Zilong.

It's a pity that Xia Houlan doesn't know much about Zhao Yun's situation, otherwise he can get in touch with Zhao Yun now...... Even if Zhao Yun can't be attached immediately, it is a good thing to cultivate some feelings after all. Don't wait until Zhao Yun finally defected to Liu Bei before he regretted it.

"Hengruo, there is nothing to do today, why don't you go out for a walk?"

Liu Chuang saw that the weather was good, so he moved to Youxing.

On this day, he read a book in the post house for a while, then called Xia Houlan, and walked out of the gate of the post house with more than a dozen flying bears riding ironclad guards.

ps: I don't know if I can update it at night, so I have to go out to do errands.

If you come back early, you will try to be second and more ...... If you come back late, there will only be one shift today, please forgive me!
