Lü Bu and others were sent out of Luoyang City, and under the surveillance of the Luoyang army, they marched all the way to the east.

Due to the rebellion of Lu Bujun, Liu Wei's wedding, which had already begun to prepare, was much hastier than expected.

In Luoyang City, although the people still took to the streets to congratulate Liu Bian on his new marriage, the atmosphere was not as Liu Bian expected.

It was a little dull to finish the wedding procedure, and when I returned to Guan Qing's bedroom, it was already a willow on the moon.

Liu Wei and Guan Qing did not return to the bedroom directly, and after returning to the dormitory, the two of them went straight to the back garden.

Due to the rebellion of Lu Bujun the day before, Liu Nu was a little frightened, and now he has gone to bed early.

In the back garden, Tao'er, who had a huge body, was also lying on the edge of the lotus pond, quietly, without even making a sound.

The wooden cloister is stepped on the cloister, and the sound of "empty" is stepped on.

In the quiet of the night, the sound of feet stepping on the corridor is especially clear, as if the entire backyard is shrouded in the sound of footsteps.

Perhaps hearing the footsteps of Liu Wei and Guan Qing, Tao'er, who was lying on her stomach in the lotus pond, raised her head, stretched out her long nose, and let out a chirp.

Tao'er's screams were louder than footsteps, like a sharp sword piercing into the sky, breaking the silence of the night.

Along the corridor, all the way into the back garden, Liu Wei stopped, and waited until he took Guan Qing's hand before walking slowly towards the lotus pond with her.

"Qing'er." When he arrived at the lotus pond, looking at the lotus leaves in the night that seemed to be splashed with ink, Liu Wei whispered to Guan Qing beside him: "Today's wedding, this king thought that he could do the scenery, but he didn't want to be in such a situation, it really hurts you......"

When Liu Wei spoke, Guan Qing snuggled his head on his arm, a sweet smile hung on the corner of his mouth, and said to him softly: "As long as I can marry His Royal Highness, Qing'er will be content......"

Stretching out his arm and holding Guan Qing in his arms, Liu Wei didn't speak again, just the silver sparkling light in the lotus pond in the night.

More than ten days after the wedding of the king of Luoyang, in the city of Xuchang.

Cao Cao held his sword in one hand and strode into Liu Xie's bedroom.

In Xuchang City, all the soldiers are under Cao Cao's command, even if he wants to enter Liu Xie's bedroom, he doesn't need to untie his sword.

In the dormitory, Liu Xie was playing against his concubine, and suddenly heard the guards outside the door shouting: "Cao Shangshu has arrived!" ”

Hearing the guard's shout, Liu Xie hurriedly stood up, perhaps because he was too flustered, when he stood up, he actually overturned the chessboard on the table, and the black, black and white chess pieces spilled all over the ground.

Liu Xie stood up, and the concubine who was playing against him also quickly stood up.

This emperor and concubine, like servants, bowed down and stood facing the door.

With one hand pressing on the hilt of his sword, Cao Cao paced into the room.

He first glanced at the chess pieces scattered all over the ground, then smiled slightly, raised one hand and pressed it twice towards Liu Xiehe and the imperial concubine beside him, and said to Liu Xie: "Your Majesty, don't be so frightened, Your Majesty just came to visit Your Majesty, and begged Your Majesty to promise one thing." ”

"Cao Gong has something to do, just say it clearly!" Clasped his hands into fists and bowed to Cao Cao, Liu Xie's forehead was already covered with beads of sweat, and he said to Cao Cao: "But if you want to do what the public wants, no one should allow it." ”

"Your Majesty, sit down and talk!" After pressing his hand twice on Liu Xiexu again, Cao Cao waved his hand to the imperial concubine on the side and said, "The imperial concubine, please stay away for the time being, your subordinates and Your Majesty have important matters to discuss." ”

"Cao Gong is at his own convenience!" As Liu Xie's wife, Cao Cao asked her to step down, but the imperial concubine didn't even dare to say a word of disobedience, blessed Cao Cao, said goodbye, and left the room.

When the imperial concubine left, Cao Cao, who was sitting face to face with Liu Xie, leaned forward slightly, stared at Liu Xie with unblinking eyes, and said to him: "Liu Bei of the plain order, has been attacking everywhere recently, and seeing that he is going to win the entire Qingzhou, can His Majesty know?" ”

When Cao Cao asked, Liu Xie was stunned for a moment, looked at Cao Cao, and asked with a bit of consternation in his tone: "Why is the Plains Order so bold?" ”

"It's just because the king of Luoyang supports him!" Cao Cao didn't hide it at all, and said directly to Liu Xie: "I think it was the king of Luoyang who allowed Qingzhou to Liu Bei, but Liu Bei is the hero of the world, if he is allowed to get Qingzhou, he and His Majesty will be prisoners of his subordinates sooner or later!" ”

"What can I do?" Although he also hoped that Liu Bei would become bigger, Liu Xie didn't dare to show it on his face, but pretended to be very distressed, and asked Cao Cao: "Cao Gong doesn't want to ......?"

"I implore Your Majesty to issue a message, and a certain leader will crusade against Liu Bei!" Without waiting for Liu Xie to finish speaking, Cao Cao said to him: "Liu Bei yearns to live with the emperor himself, this is the method of clinging to the powerful and raising the bloodline, his heart is unfathomable, if His Majesty does not eradicate him at this time, and wants to get rid of him in the future, I am afraid it will take a lot of trouble." ”

From the bottom of his heart, Liu Xie did not want Cao Cao to crusade against Liu Bei.

In Liu Xie's view, Liu Bei is known as the imperial prince, and he must be more loyal to the Han royal family than Cao Cao, an outsider, if Liu Bei really develops and grows, Liu Bei will break Cao Cao in the future, and he can really be an emperor in charge of the world, and Liu Bei, it's a big deal to give him a king.

Cao Cao was anxious to crusade against Liu Bei, but Liu Xie fell into deep thought.

He was thinking about the pros and cons, thinking about how to answer Cao Cao.

"Your Majesty!" Seeing that Liu Xie was silent, Cao Cao knew that at this time, Liu Xie must be thinking in his heart how to make Liu Bei strong, so as to seize his chassis and revitalize the Han dynasty, so he urged Liu Xie.

Being urged by Cao Cao like this, Liu Xie was stunned, his forehead was covered with beads of sweat, and he hurriedly said to Cao Cao: "What Cao Gong wants, it is what the widow thinks." , The widow is just thinking, that Qingzhou is separated from this place by Yanzhou, Cao Gong sent troops, the road is far away, and you should be careful of your body. ”

"There is a concern for His Majesty!" As soon as Liu Xie said this, Cao Cao's face suddenly filled with smiles, and he made a gesture of invitation to Liu Xie and said, "Since this is the case, please give an order!" ”

"Someone!" Although he was coerced by Cao Cao, Liu Xie still had to make a calm appearance, and when Cao Cao said that he wanted him to give an order, he shouted outside the door: "Prepare to draft a decree!" ”

Cao Cao is still very satisfied with Liu Xie's performance.

After all, having lived under Dong Zhuo's **** for so many years, Liu Xie knows very well what to do in order to do a good job as a puppet, so as not to die or be deposed like Liu Wei.

Although he, the emperor, is now just a **** at the mercy of others, but being an emperor is much better than being deposed as a commoner.

After receiving the holy decree from Liu Xie, Cao Cao was very satisfied with Liu Xie's will to go out of Liu Xie's residence.

Sending Cao Cao outside the main gate, Liu Xie clasped his fists with both hands and watched Cao Cao's back go away, until he couldn't see Cao Cao, he let out a long breath.

Since coming to Xuchang, Cao Cao has not been like Dong Zhuo, always thinking about letting Liu Xiechan give up the throne.

But for some reason, every time he saw Cao Cao, Liu Xie always had a feeling that the person in front of him was hundreds of times more terrifying than Dong Zhuo.

After sending Cao Cao away, as soon as Liu Xie returned to the dormitory, Concubine Dong, who had been playing chess with him before, greeted him and asked him softly: "Why did Your Majesty agree to make a will?" That Liu Bei is the king of Zhongshan Jing, and he is in the same lineage as His Majesty, if he gets ......"

"Shh Before Concubine Dong's words were finished, Liu Xie hurriedly covered her mouth, looked at the door with a pair of eyes full of panic, and whispered to Concubine Dong: "You don't want to live anymore?" If Cao Cao hears this, don't say it's you, even if you are a widow, I'm afraid you will have to fall to the ground! ”

was covered by Liu Xie, Concubine Dong's eyes were wide open, looking at Liu Xie with a panicked face, and nodded blankly.

After receiving Liu Xie's will, Cao Cao took the holy decree, led a few guards, and returned straight to his mansion.

As soon as he entered the mansion, Guo Jia, who had been waiting inside for a long time, came out, bowed with his fists, and whispered to Cao Cao: "Has Duke Ming gotten a will?" ”

"Come on!" Raising the hand holding the holy decree, Cao Cao shook it to Guo Jia, and then handed the holy decree to Guo Jia.

After receiving the holy decree and taking a look, Guo Jia smiled at the corner of his mouth and said to Cao Cao: "With this holy decree, Ming Gong dominates the Central Plains, and he has taken the first step!" ”

"Dominating the Central Plains, how easy is it to talk about it?" After listening to Guo Jia's words, Cao Cao shook his head with a smile and said to Guo Jia: "In the Central Plains, don't mention anything else, but the Yuan Benchu of Hebei and the Luoyang King of Luoyang, we are difficult to break, how can I dominate the Central Plains?" ”

"Right now, the king of Luoyang can only make friends, not attack!" Holding the holy decree in his hand, Guo Jia first made a gesture of invitation to Cao Cao, and while walking towards the main hall with Cao Cao, he whispered to Cao Cao: "As for Yuan Benchu, Ming Gong is not able to fight against him at the moment, Ming Gong should sit on a solid foundation, and only when he has enough strength at hand can he turn against him!" ”

"Hmm!" Nodding, Cao Cao's brows furrowed slightly, and then he asked Yuan Shao: "Liu Bei had joined forces with Yuan Benchu to attack Gongsun Zan earlier, if our army attacked Liu Bei, then Yuan Benchu ......."

"Jiang Gan will return to Xuchang a few days ago, and the Ming Duke can order him to go to Hebei ......" Hearing Cao Cao's worries, Guo Jia smiled slightly and said to Cao Cao: "Jiang Gan didn't make any effort to rebel against Lu Bu before, he just lost a Yaoqin and a silk silk......

"So-and-so underestimated that Jiang Gan!" Nodding, Cao Cao said to Guo Jia: "This matter can be disposed of by the military division sacrificial wine!" ”

"No!" As they spoke, the two of them were about to walk to the door of the front hall, and when they heard that Cao Cao wanted him to take full authority to handle the affairs between him and Yuan Shao, Guo Jia hurriedly hugged his fists and bowed down, and answered.

Cao Cao had already received the holy decree to send troops, but Liu Bei at this time was still in full swing to annex the surrounding cities.

With the order of the king of Luoyang, Liu Bei's annexation of the city was very smooth, and many cities even claimed to serve Liu Bei when they learned that Liu Bei was ordered by the king of Luoyang to occupy Qingzhou, and they did not even resist.
