Jia Xu made his position clear and supported Yuan Shao to support Liu as emperor, while Xu Shu and Pang Tong stood on the opposite side of him and opposed Liu to claim emperor.

At first, it was just Jia Xu arguing with Xu Shu and Pang Tong about the pros and cons of being emperor, but later, even the generals present also participated.

Unlike Xu Shu and Pang Tong, the thinking of the generals is relatively much simpler. In their opinion, Liu Wei led them to fight in order to protect the country of the Han Dynasty.

Since Liu Wei is also of Han blood, and Liu Xie is also the same, it makes no sense for them to fight the country together with Liu Wei, but they have to give up the emperor to Liu Xie.

As for Liu Wei becoming emperor now, whether the timing is right or not is not so important to the generals.

As a result, Xu Shu and Pang Tong, who opposed Liu's argument as emperor, gradually became at a disadvantage in the debate.

"Your Highness!" Everyone was arguing lively, Dian Wei, who had broad shoulders and round waist, rough and ugly appearance, and was as stocky as an iron tower, stepped forward, hugged his fists and said to Liu Wei: "We will follow His Highness to fight on the battlefield, and the generals will use their lives on the battlefield one by one, in order to redo the emperor for His Highness." If His Royal Highness is unwilling to be the emperor, what battle will we fight? Why don't Your Highness give me two hoes, and then give a few acres of thin fields, and reward seventy or eighty women for each person, and go home to farm and have babies. It's also better than winning the world in the future, and seeing His Highness give it to someone else! ”

"Dian Wei is presumptuous!" Before Dian Wei's words fell, Xu Shu glared at him and shouted: "If Your Highness really depends on you, wouldn't you want to trap Your Highness in disloyalty?" ”

"The military advisor is ridiculous!" Xu Shu drank Dian Wei, and Zhao Yun stepped forward, first bowed to Liu Wei, and then gave Xu Shu a salute and said: "What General Dian said is the voice of our hearts, how can it involve His Highness in disloyalty?" His Royal Highness was the emperor of the Han Dynasty at the beginning, and it was Dong Zhuo who caused chaos and forced His Royal Highness to abdicate. Today, His Majesty, although he sits on the court, but his name as the emperor is obtained by the hands of fake rebellious ministers and thieves, how can it be regarded as the orthodoxy of the Han Dynasty? Acknowledging the emperor above the court, isn't it a recognition that Dong Zhuo is justified in disorderly government? His Royal Highness is called the emperor, not only the voice of our generals, but also the voice of the subjects of the whole world, but also the blessing of the Han Dynasty. ”

"General Zhao!" Before Zhao Yun's words fell, Xu Shu said to him: "Although His Majesty has ascended the throne by the hands of fake rebellious ministers and thieves, after all, he has passed the enthronement ceremony, so it is justified. If His Royal Highness wants to be the emperor, he must wait until His Majesty has lost his morality before he can act. The courtiers in the court are now all high and powerful, although they are controlled by Li Dao and Guo Yan, but no one is willing to give up their power. His Royal Highness's accession to the throne will definitely be reused for people who have made meritorious contributions to the society, and those courtiers have not made an inch of merit in His Royal Highness, and they are not effective in protecting the Han Society, how can they have no scruples? How could he let His Highness do it? At that time, Chang'an issued a document and ordered the world to crusade against His Royal Highness, and there are not a few people in the world who are as ambitious as Gongsun Zhan. Let me ask these people, are they willing to support the weak current majesty, or are they willing to bow down and obey the orders of His Highness? ”

Xu Shu's words stunned everyone present. Even Yuan Xi opened his mouth slightly, not knowing how to deal with it.

"it!" Everyone in the hall was silent for a moment, and when the whole hall fell into an awkward silence, the black-faced Guan Hai crossed his waist with his hands on his waist and stalked his neck, shouting: "Lao Tzu only recognizes His Royal Highness, if anyone is not satisfied, Lao Tzu will go up with a knife and cut off his dog's head......"

"General Guan is good at martial arts!" Guan Hai's voice was still buzzing in the hall, Pang Tong smiled slightly, and asked Guan Hai: "But in this world, there are strong martial arts, why not only General Guan?" At present, although I have hundreds of thousands of troops in Luoyang, there are not many generals available. If it really attracts multiple crusades, can General Guan have the art of clone, and defend against strong enemies in the north and south? ”

Guan Hai just said a heroic word, and he was smug in his heart, but he was poured a bucket of cold water on Pang Tong's head, his eyes widened, and he smacked his mouth, but he didn't know how to argue.

"Two military advisors!" At first, Jia Xu, who had a clear position and agreed with Liu's argument as emperor, stretched out his hand to brush the beard on his chin, his eyes narrowed slightly, and said to Pang Tong and Xu Shu: "Isn't it a bit sensational that the two military advisors only say one thing, but don't say the other? ”

Hearing Jia Xu say that they only made one clear, but did not say the second, Xu Shu made a gesture of invitation to Jia Xu and said: "If Jia Zhonglang has a high opinion, I would like to hear it in detail!" ”

"The military advisor only said that those who are as ambitious as Gongsun Zhan did not mention what would happen if they were as loyal as Yuan Gong of Jizhou?" Putting down his bearded hand, Jia Xu hugged his fists and faced Liu Wei, and said to everyone in the hall: "If Gongsun Zan and others dare to attack His Highness, how can Yuan Gong and other capable ministers loyal to the Han clan sit idly by?" At that time, His Royal Highness only needs to concentrate his forces and attack them one by one from the weak and strong, and the rest of the chaotic armies will be defeated by the righteous armies from all walks of life. ”

"What Jia Zhonglang said is light!" Jia Xu's analysis was not recognized by Xu Shu and Pang Tong, but instead provoked Pang Tong to snort with a little ridicule, only to hear Pang Tong say: "If the rebels from all walks of life only care about protecting their own families and watching the tiger from the other mountain, how should Your Highness deal with it?" ”

"Definitely not!" This time, without waiting for Jia Xu to speak, Yuan Xi couldn't wait to say: "My father ordered the last general to come, which is to show loyalty to His Highness, as long as His Royal Highness is called the emperor, my father will definitely lead the soldiers and horses of Jizhou and share weal and woe with His Highness!" Never turn your back! ”

"There is no basis for words!" Pang Tong sighed lightly, shook his head, a faint smile hung on the corner of his mouth, and said to Yuan Xi: "If Ling Zun repents at that time, how should His Highness deal with it?" ”

Looking at Pang Tong's ugly face with a strange smile, and listening to his question that just cut to the point, Yuan Xi was at a loss. He didn't know how to respond to Pang Tong at all, at least when he set off, Yuan Shao and Jizhou's staff didn't expect to put him in such an embarrassing situation. The only thing he can be sure of is that since Dong Zhuo's rebellion, Yuan Shao has never recognized Liu Xie's status as emperor, and only wants to support Liu Wei to re-ascend the throne.

In the past, he urged Liu Wei to ascend the throne as soon as possible, and Yuan Shao had already shown all his sincerity. But Pang Tong's words implied a strong suspicion, suspecting that once Liu Wei ascended the throne in the future, Yuan Shao would come to the bottom of the kettle to draw salary. As long as Yuan Shao chooses this way, Liu Wei will face the crusade against the group of ministers above the court and the heroes who covet the country.

With Liu Wei's current strength, he may have a chance of winning the crusade against the princes who are not strong all the way, but in the face of the joint attack of several princes, he is completely unable to resist.

Pang Tong's concerns cannot be said to be completely unreasonable!

Pang Tong's words fell, and the hall fell into a suffocating tranquility again, including Liu Wei, everyone's eyes were focused on Yuan Xi's face.

Stared at by Liu Wei's eyes, Yuan Xi only felt uncomfortable, he was silent for a moment, suddenly clasped his hands into fists, half-knelt on the ground, and said to Liu Wei: "Your Highness, I, the Yuan family in Jizhou, should be the head of His Highness, from now on, but whoever His Highness wants to conscript, the Yuan family in Jizhou will definitely take the lead in recruiting troops, thinking that it is the vanguard!" ”

"Little general, go back and rest, and wait for this king to discuss with all his subordinates, how about replying?" With Yuan Xi's promise, Liu Wei lowered his head and muttered for a moment before saying to him: "This matter is related to the Han Dynasty, and it is also about the reputation of this king, this king has to be careful!" ”

"The last general will leave!" Liu Wei asked him to recuse himself, but Yuan Xi knew that there was no reason to stay here, so he hurriedly bowed with his fists, bowed to Liu Wei, took two steps back, and then went to the main entrance of the front hall.

When Han Heng saw Yuan Xi leaving, he hurriedly saluted Liu Wei and said goodbye, followed Yuan Xi, and went straight out of the front hall.

"Your Highness!" When Yuan Xi and Han Heng came out of the front hall, Xu Shu and the others returned to their respective positions, and just after returning to the low table, Xu Shu hugged his fists and said to Liu Wei: "Yuan Shao wants His Royal Highness to be the emperor, but he wants to get some benefits from it after His Highness reinvigorates the majesty of the Han Dynasty, so as to stabilize Yuan's position above the court, there should be no more profound meaning." But His Royal Highness is really not suitable to be the emperor now, and now he can only make a false accusation, first ask Yuan Shao to send troops to attack Gongsun Zhan, and then make a plan! ”

"Exactly!" To the surprise of everyone except Liu Wei and Pang Tong, it was Xu Shu who finished speaking, and he had the same position as Yuan Xi before, and Jia Xu, who had instigated Liu to argue that he was the emperor, also stood up and said to Liu Wei: "Your Majesty is not talented, and you have not yet made an inch of merit since you serve Your Highness, and I am willing to ask Your Highness to allow Your Highness to go to Jizhou to meet Yuan Shao." Gongsun Chan has repeatedly been enemies with His Royal Highness, if our army wants to conquer, it will definitely suffer from that long journey, if Yuan Shao can be persuaded to send troops, when the war in the north is clear, our army will go out again, and we can defeat Gongsun Chan in one battle! ”

After listening to Xu Shu and Jia Xu's words, Liu Wei smiled slightly and said to him: "This king knows the severity, and he will not be in a hurry to become the emperor. Wen He is sure to persuade Yuan Shao to send troops to fight against Gongsun Zhan, so you will work hard and send Yuan Xi back to Jizhou in a few days to talk to Yuan Benchu about sending troops. ”

"Your Highness!" With Liu Wei's promise, Jia Xu hurriedly strode to the middle of the front hall, bowed with his fists, and thanked Liu Wei.

"In the past few days, Haosheng has entertained Yuan Xi!" With his elbow on his thigh, Liu Wei pinched his chin with one hand, frowned slightly, and thought for a moment before he said to Jia Xu: "Fang Cai Wenhe worked with him to persuade this king to be the emperor, and I think he has a good impression of Wenhe. Yuan Xi is good at chess, Wen He talks with him for a few more games, and when he goes to Jizhou in the future, he will have a lot of Yuan's children around him as help, and he will have a little more certainty of success! ”

"Your Majesty must go all out!" Jia Xu maintained a fist-hugging posture and answered again, and then retreated to the low table and sat down.

"If nothing else, let everyone disperse!" Now that the matter had been properly discussed, Liu Wei waved his hand at everyone and said to them: "What is being discussed today must not be spread outside!" ”

As he spoke, Liu Wei subconsciously turned his head and glanced at Guan Hai.

Seeing Liu Wei turn his head to look at him, Guan Hai blinked his eyes twice, stood up, and said to Liu Wei angrily with his fists in his urn: "The last general has been open-mouthed, which has added a lot of trouble to His Highness, if he dares to talk about this negotiation again, His Highness can only cut off his tongue!" ”

Speaking of cutting his tongue, Guan Hai really stretched out his tongue, pinched the tip of his tongue with two fingers, and made a gesture of pulling the fingers of his other hand towards his tongue.

Guan Hai's actions made everyone in the hall feel very funny, but because Liu Wei was also in the hall, everyone couldn't make fun of him, so they had to hold back a smile, twist their faces to the side, and not look at him.
