The emperor said: Edict Beihai Xiang, General Yangwu, Liu Mengyan, Marquis of Guanting.

The general was originally a clan and lived among the people since he was a child. Now in the North Sea, to quell the thief, very gratifying. The edict is also the capital on the same day, and the New Year's sacrifice ceremony is carried out, and the ancestral temple is worshipped.

This is an edict with the seal of the emperor's letter seal and the seal of the monk's book.

It was the emperor's decree, and then issued by the three dukes, and the objects used were also dedicated to the officials above the county magistrate and the general, and ordinary people could not see it at all.

However, now that Cao Cao is serving the Son of Heaven to order the princes, no one knows whether this emperor's edict was drafted by the Han Emperor.

At least in Liu Chuang's memory, he had already received this kind of edict when he had conferred the title of Taishou of Qi County and General Yangwu before, so he was no stranger to the emperor's letter seal on the edict.

"Meng Yan, can you see the clue?"

After Zhong Xuan finished promulgating the edict, he looked at Liu Chuang and asked.

Liu Chuang's face was ugly, "Is this from Cao Cao?" ”

Zhong Xuantou, "Gong Cao doesn't want the war in Xuzhou to continue, and he thinks that if it continues, there is no point in it." In the end, it's nothing more than a lose-lose outcome. Therefore, he hopes to stop the fighting as much as possible, and sincerely invites you to go to Xudu. ”

"Mr. Zhong, I have no intention of offending.

It's just that Cao Cao didn't want to lose both, so it was an excuse...... As far as I know, Yuan Sangongzi stationed troops in Liyang and eyed Xu Du. And Jingzhou Liu Biao is also ready to move, so Cao Cao said so. To Xudu? If Gongzi goes to Xudu, I am afraid that it will be more than lucky. ”

Without waiting for Liu Chuang to speak, Chen Gong spoke first.

Zhang Liao on the side showed disdain, as if to say: You Cao Cao is afraid of it. Why use such an excuse?

In fact. This excuse is spoken. And how many people believe it?

A smile appeared on Zhong Xuan's face, "This is Mr. Gongtai?" ”

"It's Chen Gong."

"Cao Gong once said that Mr. Gongtai is very talented, but it is a pity that you left him at the beginning."

"If I don't want to leave him, Cao Cao went against the grain and killed famous people. Not the work of the Lord. I left him only to find another ear. ”

Zhong Xuan said: "Mr. Gongtai, I don't want to discuss with you who is right and who is wrong.

It's just that I want to ask, do you think Meng Yan has room to shirk this edict? ”

"This ......"

"Cao Cao ordered the princes to serve the Son of Heaven, and he could also serve the Son of Heaven to crusade against the non-ministers.

This edict of the Son of Heaven! It is proposed by the Son of Heaven, do you think Meng Yan can have other choices? If he does not accept it, he is disrespectful. What is the result of disrespect, I am sure you know very well, that is, it is regarded as rebellion. Meng Yan was originally the emperor's uncle. It is valued by the Son of Heaven, so that we can have today's achievements. But if he bears the name of rebellion. Then how many people in the world do you think will be willing to follow him? ”

"This ......"

Chen Gong's face also showed a tangled look.

Zhang Liao frowned and was silent for a long time.

If Liu Chuang loses the title of the Son of Heaven, the situation will definitely become very bad.

Not to mention anything else, even if Cao Cao doesn't crusade against him, it is already a fact that he resists and does not obey the order, and if he doesn't do it well, it will become the same as Lu Bu's previous situation, grandma doesn't hurt, uncle doesn't love him, and even his subordinates will fluctuate. This situation is indeed very bad.

Liu Chuang's eyes closed slightly, and he didn't speak.

After Zhong Xuan finished speaking, he suddenly sneered: "Then according to what my uncle said, should I stretch my neck and let that Cao Cao cut it down with a knife?" ”

Zhong Xuan sighed, "I know that Meng Yan and Cao Gong have a deep misunderstanding, but in today's world, there is only Cao Gong who can revive the Han Dynasty."

Meng Yan, don't be unconvinced, I also know that you are very talented, and you have achieved what you are doing in just a few years. But you must know that you have achieved what you are today because of the shadow of your Father. If you weren't the son of Brother Tao, if you hadn't had the support of Kang Chenggong, how could you have gained a firm foothold so quickly? You are brave and talented, but after all, you have lost some qualifications and missed the best opportunity.

If you had risen to Qingzhou ten years ago, I would have poured the power of the Zhong family into helping you.

Can ...... now

Meng Yan, the overall situation has been decided, can't you see it clearly? Cao Gong has the name of orthodoxy, even Yuan Shao may not be his opponent in the future. You are arrogant, you may not be willing to really surrender to Yuan Shao, so you are sandwiched between the two, do you think you can bargain?

Meng Yan, listen to me: let it go! ”

Zhong Xuan's words were sincere.

Liu Chuang also knew very well that Zhong Miao was thinking about him.

It seems that Zhong Xuan is a staunch supporter of Cao Cao!

It's just that Liu Chuang gave up the foundation he had worked so hard to build, and then surrendered to Cao Cao? He can't do it......

Not to mention that he and Cao Cao have torn their faces, even if they are not torn, how can he get along with Cao Cao after doing so many things?

"There is one more thing I want to sue you, don't you think that Cao Gongzhen doesn't have the confidence to fight you.

The reason why he crossed the Huaishui and refused to send troops was that he was starting to make arrangements. The day before yesterday, Jiangdong Sun Ce sent an envoy to visit Cao Gong in Huaiyin, and it had been agreed that he would send troops to attack Guangling. What you rely on is none other than Sun Ce's twenty sea ships. But if Sun Ce is flanking you, how sure do you think you are? The reason why Sun Ce agreed was because Cao Gong was orthodox, how could he refuse? ”

Liu Chuang's face changed, and his heart suddenly turned cold.

The iron horse of the three countries of humanity, how do you know that the hearts of the people of the three countries are ugly?

Jiangdong Xiaobawang has always been his favorite character in his previous life, I thought that he befriended Sun Ce, and even exchanged 200,000 grains and grass for a sea boat, so as not to embarrass Sun Ce. But who would have thought that Sun Ce would agree to fight Cao Cao in the end? Think about it, which one of the princes can be a true benevolent gentleman? Today is an enemy, tomorrow is a friend, to put it bluntly, the princes are just a group of bitches.

Whoever gives more money will follow.

Sun Ce?

Liu Chuang's eyes flashed with a glint of anger, and after snorting, he stopped talking.

The atmosphere in the county government suddenly became a little dull.

Zhang Liao and Chen Gong clenched their fists even more, and their faces were full of murderous intent.

"Meng Yan, you want to go back to Beihai, but it's not a long-term solution.

Doesn't Cao Gong know that when you return to Beihai, you will return to the mountains like a tiger? He made an edict. It's a clear attitude.

You do what you do. There is still a silver lining; If you don't. It is to resist the will and to rebel...... When the time comes, do you think Yuan Shao will really help you? ”

Zhong Xuan said, stood up and walked to Liu Chuang's side.

"Meng Yan, don't blame your uncle for not helping you, but in the current situation, he can't help you.

On this edict, there is a book and a seal. Who is Shang Shuling? I think you know that too...... Wen Ruo will be the hope of the Han Dynasty. It's all entrusted to Cao Gong, so he categorically won't allow you to save such a variable. This edict, according to Cao Gong's intentions, did not want to be issued. To put it bluntly, you can return the edict with a piece of paper. But Wen Ruo still issued this edict, which is also to promise you that it will never harm your life.

The edict was issued, and everyone in the world knew about it.

You are called by the Son of Heaven, even if Cao Gong wants to kill you, he must think twice.

DID YOU KNOW. I was arranged by Cao Gong to stay in Xiapi for ten full days until you abandoned Huaiyin. Cao Gong ordered me to come...... Gongtai is right, Yuan Sangongzi is indeed ready to move. But so what? With Wen Ruo sitting in Xudu, and Xiahou Miaocai and Cao Zixiao staying behind, how many wins do you think Yuan Shang can have? If Yuan Shao poured his strength into Hebei, Cao Gong might be worried. But Yuan Shang ......"

Zhong Miao sneered and said, "It's not that I underestimate him, he is definitely not Wen Ruo's opponent."

As for Liu Biao, there is no need to worry. Zhang Xiu was frightened by Cao Gong before, and in the hands of Liu Biao, what big thing can he achieve with a rabble? Meng Yan, listen to my advice, stop thinking, and follow me back to Yingchuan. Wen Ruo and I, to ensure that you are rich and prosperous for the rest of your life. ”

This sentence has made Zhong Xuan's position very clear.

Liu Chuang raised his head and looked at Zhong Xuan, with a touch of calm in his eyes.

And Zhong Miao was not afraid, his eyes met Liu Chuang, and his face was calm.

Although it was the first time he met Liu Chuang, in the past two years, his understanding of Liu Chuang was quite profound.

He believes that Liu Chuang will make the most correct choice.

"Uncle has come from afar, he must be tired, so let's go and rest first."

Liu Chuang stood up, flicked his big sleeves, turned around and left.

Zhong Xuan said behind him: "Meng Yan, I know that you may be dissatisfied with me in your heart, but I am for your good, and I have no selfish thoughts. Cao Gong doesn't give you much time, if you don't reply on the tenth day of the first month, he will raise troops to attack. Now Guangling County has long been panicked, and the people have been thinking about it. And Chen Qi and Chen Deng, father and son, have a deep prestige in Guangling, how can you take advantage? I hope you think twice. ”

Liu Chuang was stunned, but ignored Zhong Xuan and left.

Looking at Liu Chuang's back, Zhong Xuan couldn't help but feel bitter in his mouth, sighed secretly, turned around and walked out.

In fact, he didn't know that Liu Chuang would be dissatisfied with him because of this.

If you were any other person, you would be annoyed.

But in his opinion, Liu Chuang is really too young...... Prestige and qualifications are not enough to take on great responsibilities. Cao Cao no matter what, that is the prestige that comes out step by step. Rose from the Yellow Turban Rebellion, assassinated Dong Zhuo, 22 princes crusaded against Dong Zhuo, visited the battlefield countless times, and established his current prestige in the midst of repeated failures. Not to mention that he served the Son of Heaven to order the princes, and his wings were already full.

In this case, compared with Cao Cao, the gap between Liu Chuang and Cao Cao is too big.

He previously relied on Liu Tao's Yu Yin and Zheng Xuan's prestige to gain a firm foothold in Beihai State, and even captured Donglai.

But this foundation is not strong enough.

The battle of Xuzhou can be seen in this time...... Cao Cao didn't have to clean him up! If Cao Cao really wanted to make trouble with Liu Chuang, Liu Chuang, even if he had Beihai and Donglai counties, he would not be able to compete with Cao Cao at all. In that case, why bother?

Either way, I have a clear conscience.

What I do is the prosperity of the Han family, and it is for the sake of the eldest brother.

Thinking of this, Zhong Xuan took a deep breath, and his steps became more determined: In short, I will definitely persuade Meng Yan to protect the bloodline of the eldest brother!

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

In the garden of the county government's back house, Liu Chuang sat in the pavilion and said nothing.

Zhong Xuan's choice, he can understand.

To be honest, Zhong Xuan was able to think about him and say those words, which was already sincere.

Although nominally, Zhong Xuan is his uncle. But in fact, Liu Chuang and Zhong Xuan are not half-related. He is willing to protect him in this way, and he can be regarded as doing his best.

But what he said. But it's really a bit shocking.

But change of mind. Liu Chuang was relieved again!

He was reborn in the Three Kingdoms 1,800 years later. For the Three Kingdoms era, I have a deep understanding.

So, he knew he still had a chance...... Although Zhong Yu is a talent in the world, Xun Yu is a pillar of the country. But the limitations of the times, how can we know the development of later generations. Not to mention anything else, how could they be as clear as Liu Chuang, the war between Yuan and Cao lasted for eight years. Even if Cao Cao unified the north. But the Han family was never revitalized, and in the end the Han family was usurped by Cao Cao's son?

This is Liu Chuang's advantage, but he can't sue others.

He still has a chance, and hopefully he can succeed......

For the princes of one side, command thousands of troops and horses, wave the banner, and thousands of heads fall to the ground! After tasting the awakening sword and the taste of drunken beauty's knees, how can he be willing to be subservient? Not to mention anything else, what a beautiful scenery Ma Chao was at the beginning. rampant in the pass, killing Cao Cao cut his beard and abandoned his robe. Even if it's just a romance. But it is enough to show that Ma Chao was powerful at that time. As a result, Zhang Lu was attached, and after Liu Bei surrendered, what was the result? was suspicious of others, and the family was ruined; In the end, it must not be reused, and it will end up depressed......

Liu Chuang knew very well in his heart that he was no longer the kind of life that could swallow his anger and live under the fence.

Liu Bei can endure humiliation and steal his life, that's because he hasn't really tasted power yet. And Liu Chuang has already felt the wonderful taste in it. So, let him grovel again, he can't do it! Even if he knew that there were tigers in the mountains, he could only go to the tiger mountains.

But......

A sound of footsteps interrupted Liu Chuang's thoughts.

Looking up, it was Chen Gong and Zhang Liao coming.

After the two greeted Liu Chuang in the pavilion, they sat on both sides.

"Childe, if Sun Ce betrays his trust, what should he do?"

Sun Ce was in Dantu and had 20,000 soldiers.

From Dantu to Jiangdu, it is just a strip of water, and it doesn't even take a day to call.

In his hands, he has a powerful naval army, which can cross the river and attack. At that time, Liu Chuang could only defend passively...... Ruojiang was captured, and Guangling was in danger.

If Guangling is occupied, Liu Chuang's back road will be cut off.

Decameron......

It doesn't sound too long.

But Liu Chuang knew that neither Cao Cao nor Sun Ce could leave him such a long time.

The situation is as Zhong Xuan said, it has been extremely bad.

Liu Chuang raised his head, looked at Chen Gong and said, "Gongtai, I have something to ask for." ”

Chen Gong was stunned, and hurriedly got up and bowed down and said, "Why did the son come to say the word 'begging'?" But there are orders, and the palace must obey orders. ”

Thinking about it in Chen Palace, could it be that Liu Chuang begged him to let him drag Cao Cao?

Who knows, Liu Chuang said: "I want Gongtai and Wenyuan, and lead Xiong Wei to leave Gaoyou immediately and go to Tanglin Pavilion."

At the same time, I will ask Zizhong and Wen Xiang to assist the public station...... I'm here, delay for ten days, and when the ship returns, you will immediately board the ship, leave Guangling, and return to Beihai Kingdom. ”

This sentence frightened both Chen Gong and Zhang Liao.

After the two glanced at each other, they suddenly bent down and whispered, "How can Childe be like this?"

Childe is the lord of the North Sea, and he must not take such risks. Liao and Gongtai, willing to stay in Gaoyou, fight to the death to block the enemy, and protect the safe evacuation of Gongzi. ”

"What about a safe evacuation?

Zhong Yuan is often right, this time it is the emperor's edict, and I can't disobey the order at all.

If I disobey, the North Sea will be in danger. When Cao Cao sent troops to attack me in the name of rebellion and rebellion, then Yuan Shao probably would not send troops to help. The so-called princes are just ruthless and unrighteous people. I used to treat Sun Bofu well, but in the end, isn't Sun Bofu still the same, and wants to attack me?

Once we resist the decree, the North Sea will inevitably be affected by war.

To be honest, I wasn't ready, and neither was the North Sea Country......

Therefore, I decided to go to Xudu.

Cao Cao is targeting me, not you...... Gongtai, don't open your mouth, listen to what I have to say. ”

Liu Chuang stood up, walked to the railing of the pavilion and stood still, looked at the withering color of the garden, and let out a faint sigh, "Gongtai, Wenyuan, can I really entrust you?" ”

Chen Gong Zhang Liao stood up, looked at each other suspiciously, and said in unison: "Wen Hou will give Juque to Gongzi, and the two of us will be Gongzi's trilogy."

The son is benevolent and magnanimous, and he is really the master.

Gongtai and I (Wenyuan) are willing to serve our son. ”

Liu Chuang turned around with a smile on his face.

He looked at Zhang Liao, and then at Chen Gong, "It's not necessary to smear the liver and brain, I just want you and you to act according to my orders after you two arrive in Beihai." ”

He paused, then exhaled hard.

"In the second year of Jian'an, when I first entered Beihai, I already realized that Beihai was not my foundation.

So from that moment on, I started to make arrangements and plan for the future. People say that my heart is to Yuan Shao...... Ha, how can I be made by Yuan Shao? The reason why I got close to Yuan Shao is actually for the future. It's a pity that it's still a bit rushed! If you stay with me for another year, I will be able to do it with great fanfare. Gongtai, I want you to contact Kang Chenggong immediately after you arrive in Beihai Kingdom and tell him that he is ready to act.

I have arranged for someone to ask Yuan Shao that he is willing to exchange the two counties of Beihai and Donglai for the land of Liaodong and Liaoxi.

At the same time, I also worked on someone to build a sea boat, and when the time came, the public platform cooperated with Master Zheng to transport all the gentlemen of Nanshan Academy to Linyu, Liaoxi, along with the books and classics. The year before last, I had already taken my wife and brother to Linyu to buy a house, and when the time came, I could settle Nanshan Academy in Linyu City.

Wen Yuan, after you arrive in Beihai, please cooperate with my Uncle Hai, Huang Zhong and Tai Shici, and cooperate with Bu Qi and Lu Dai.

Move all my important industries in Beihai to Guò by sea to Guzhu City...... I want you to hold on to Feiru and close the contact between Liaoxi and Youzhou. Whether we can come to the Central Plains again in the future depends on the two of us. I entrust my inheritance to two. ”

After speaking, Liu Chuang arched his hand and threw Zhang Liao and Chen Gong to the ground.

Zhang Liao and Chen Gong felt that their heads were confused!

They looked at Liu Chuang and were speechless for a long time...... Chen Gong was even more shocked in his heart, could it be that Gongzi had already arranged a way back?

What a long-term vision it takes!

When he first entered the Beihai Kingdom two years ago, Lü Bu was blazing, and Cao Cao Fang experienced the defeat of Wancheng.

At that time, he had already begun to plan for the future. In other words, from that time on, Liu Chuang expected today's results.

What a vision and insight!

"Then the boy is going to go to Xudu?" (To be continued......)
