Chapter 355: The Xiangyang Incident
Since the imperial court left Xudu, the power of the auxiliary Han has actually been reported frequently.
Ma Teng and Han Sui were in charge of suppressing the small warlords in the central and western parts of Guanzhong and Guanxi, and Zhang Yang and Yang Feng were responsible for the scattered small warlords in the eastern part of Guanzhong, as well as Luoyang and Hedong.
Although he did not dare to directly provoke Xu County in Yuzhou, he either persuaded the Si Li and the warlords in Hedong who had defected to Cao Cao to surrender or pretended not to know......
After the death of Li Dao and Guo Yan, Liang Xing, Zhang Heng, Duan Xuan and other small warlords who originally occupied Guanzhong and Hedong were either pushed down after resisting or stubbornly resisting.
Liu Bei has also crossed the Yellow River and completely recovered the plain county where he once served as the county commander, and now the entire territory of Qingzhou is basically annexed by Liu Bei......
(There is a clerical error in the previous chapter, the pre-Qin Qi state was mainly in Qingzhou in the Han Dynasty, and a small part in Xuzhou, which has been corrected.) )
It's just that the news other than his own side still makes Liu Xiewo angry......
After Cao Cao learned of Xu Du's urgent report, he did not immediately return to help, but instead retreated, and then killed a horse pistol, and deliberately revealed the "conditions" that Xun Yu won for him, and under great joy and sorrow, he directly killed Yuan Shao, who was already seriously ill, and took Yecheng.
Yuan Tan has been beaten in Handan, and he has not fought with Cao Cao at all as Liu Xie imagined.
Not to mention the south, Jiangling was lost so quickly, and at the beginning, when the Nanjun Shi clan and the imperial court had just come into contact, Liu Xie was still happy for a while, who knew that those wastes were now also stopped outside Wancheng, and they were not allowed to go north for half a step.
Originally, Liu Xie still wanted to convince Bai Tu and still had certain expectations for this great sage, but now that he looks at it, the other party is simply shaking himself!
What are the eight strategies, it is simply an excuse, just like Cao Thief, he wants to be crowned king and wants to harm me......
Waiting for Liu Bei and the others to leave the front hall, Liu Xie asked Liu Ai physically and mentally exhausted: "Uncle Huang, how am I doing today?" ”
Liu Ai pulled out a smile and said: "Your Majesty is humble and humble as a valley, it should be the blessing of all the people, but it is just ...... Be cautious about the attitude towards Bai Gong. ”
To be honest, Liu Xie's performance today has actually improved, except that he was too unscrupulous when he wanted to move Hua Xin at the beginning, but after that, although everyone saw that he was angry, at least he did not vent his anger obviously.
Far from perfect, but the progress is still not small, even if Liu Xie is old, he has just won the championship this year, Liu Ai feels that it is still necessary to focus on encouragement......
Liu Xie also nodded when he heard this: "I understand, it's just ...... That's it, I'll pay attention next time. Obviously, he also understands that it is useless to complain to Liu Ai.
"It's just that now the General's Mansion seems to be no different from Cao Thief! Wrong...... The popularity of the General's Mansion is more terrible than that of Cao Thief, and now there are still people in the capital, who are talking about the omen of 'returning the jade seal', saying that the road is now lush and green, and the weeds are three points higher...... It's unreasonable! Liu Xie forgot at this time, he himself was moved enough at that time.
"Now that the weather is cold, it is not easy to use troops, and the general's mansion should hold its troops until the first month, and I hope that the Jingzhou scholars can hold out in Xiangfan for a longer period of time...... When the King of Wei cuts back Xu County, even if Wancheng does not move, we can indirectly help one or two. Other than that...... His Majesty also needs to issue the canonization of Liu Jingzhou's orphans as soon as possible. Liu Ai reminded.
With the great expansion of the diet of the people of Xiangyang, Liu Biao's condition is getting more and more serious, starting a few months ago, not only the hands and feet are ulcerated, and the eyes are gradually blind, especially after the news of Liu Qi's death, Liu Biao almost died suddenly, and after being rescued, he was also delirious, and he was bedridden and unable to control.
The Nanjun Shi clan blocked the news at the beginning and completely took over the Jingzhou Mansion, but when they came to the court in the name of tribute, they handed over.
Calculating the time, Liu Biao should not survive last month, and now he has been buried without accident......
If he could, Liu Xie wanted to directly seal Liu Ai to Xiangyang, but now he didn't want the court to think about it, but he wanted the Nanjun scholars to think about it.
The Nanjun Shi clan now controls Jingzhou Mansion, but before Liu Biao won over the Nanyang Shi clan and suppressed the Cai family and the Kuai family, the two sides were separated, and forcibly ascending to the throne may lead to civil strife in Jingzhou Mansion, so for the Nanjun Shi clan, it is more worthwhile to support Liu Cong to succeed to the throne and unite all the forces in Jingzhou Mansion than to go it alone.
After all, the Cai family and the Kuai family didn't want to divide one side, they just wanted to seek stability in this troubled world!
"It's okay, it's better to correct Liu Cong's name than to cheapen Bai Tu...... It's better to canonize Liu Cong at the court meeting on the first day of the first lunar month, in the way of Xian Envoy Knowledge, what does the imperial uncle think? Liu Xie's thought moved.
The appointment of the pastor of a state, whether to launch the "Xian Envoy Knowledge" is actually a between, but if you consider that the Jingzhou Mansion can now control only Xiangfan and the central and southern parts of Nanyang, the "Xian Envoy Knowledge" is a bit out of specification.
Fortunately, after the imperial court moved westward, it not only cut off the previous luck connection with the Prime Minister's Mansion, but also rebounded in luck.
Therefore, it is not impossible for Liu Xie to forcibly launch it!
Didn't Bai Tu say that on the first day of the first month, if he couldn't see the "Xian Envoy Zhiwen" who promised the eight strategies, he would tacitly promote the king of Chu and continue to attack Xiangfan?
Then on the first day of the first lunar month, use "Xian Envoy Zhiwen" to correct Liu Cong's name.
When the time comes, Bai Tu will attack again...... Although it still can't be stopped, it is morally untenable, and at least it can add some obstacles.
Liu Ai thought about it when he heard this, and also thought it was a good idea.
"Your Majesty is wise." Liu Ai echoed, feeling that Liu Xie was indeed growing, and after a deep sigh, he suddenly said: "If that's the case, the old minister thinks of it...... If you want to launch the 'Salty Messenger Knowledge', it is better to simply make it bigger! Although you can't do anything to the two princes of the north and the south, you can seal all the princes who support the imperial court! Liu Ai said and gradually showed some determination.
The possible side effects of the indiscriminate sealing of the princes are naturally there, but ...... Now Bai Tu in the south and Cao Cao in the north are not easy to provoke directly.
Directly announce that they are rebellious ministers and thieves, but I am afraid that people will soon wave their troops into the customs, but this level of suppression should have no disadvantages!
As for what "side effects"......
If the current difficulties can't be overcome, the Han will die, and the Zhongxing Han room must be used first to have the qualifications to mention side effects!
However, what they didn't know was that at this time in Jiangling, Huang Chengyan had secretly met with Bai Tu and secretly talked about the secret alliance - Liu Cong, who was nominally just a little child, was the lord of Jingzhou, but in fact, now Jingzhou Mansion was in the hands of the Nanjun Shi clan, so the matter of descending Chu had to be secret......
At the beginning, all the families in Nanjun joined forces to "pit" Huang Chengyan and Mrs. Cai once, and this time Huang Chengyan and Mrs. Cai were ready to pit them back in one go!
At this time, their advantage is that firstly, they have the right to speak, after all, nominally, the Nanjun clan supports Liu Cong, and secondly, the Kuai clan and the Cai clan have a serious lack of estimation on Cai Shuang.
In their opinion, Cai Shuang is a shrew who has no overall view - but it is precisely because of this that it is convenient for them to control, as long as they respect her on the surface, and do not worry about Cai Shuang's other plans in private......
If he really wants to say it, only Cai Mao has a little doubt, because in his impression, his sister is not so stupid.
However, after Cai Shuang got married, the sister-brother relationship between the two in private faded a lot, and even at the beginning, Cai Shuang was reluctant to see them at all.
Therefore, Cai Mao was a little hesitant at most, and most of the time she was still apologetic in her heart, thinking that Cai Shuang was because of her unhappiness back then, and she was not on good terms with Liu Biao, especially in the past year, Liu Biao vigorously supported Liu Qi and was very cold to Cai Shuang and Liu Cong, so Cai Shuang was stimulated, and her personality became more and more biased......
