Chapter 31 Changes in Plans

asked Lu Zhi to write a letter to Liu Bei, naturally to take advantage of Lu Zhi's identity.

At the same time, Liu Xuan also fully considered that Liu Bei's current identity does not seem to be suitable for such a high-profile behavior - Cao Cao can send a letter, firstly, because he was a famous man at that time, and on the other hand, even if he abandoned his official position and fled from Beijing, he was also an official in Beijing in the eyes of many people.

What's more, the eighth lieutenant of Xiyuan was established by the first emperor and nominally belonged to the emperor's personal guard forbidden army, although Cao Cao was only one of the captains, but with the identity of this Son of Heaven's guard, the thief's letter could naturally be accepted by the world.

Liu Bei can't, although Liu Bei has the name of the Han family, he can't be recognized by the Son of Heaven. Without royal recognition, you, the Han clan, can't do anything, so even if Liu Bei sends a message, there won't be too many conformists.

This situation will naturally not be ignored, Liu Xuan gave Liu Bei two ideas: one is to send a document in the name of Sun Zhan, the Taishou Gonggong of Beiping, and the other is to issue a text in the name of Yuan Shao, the Taishou of Bohai.

Of course, Liu Bei will not be without benefits, this text is to be written by him, and his name will be signed at the end, as long as the text is issued, Liu Bei's name will immediately be known to everyone, which is also a great thing for Liu Bei, and he will naturally not let it go.

According to Liu Xuan's wishes, it is naturally best to ask Bohai Taishou Yuan Shao to release this article, but considering the relationship between Liu Bei and Gongsun Zhan, the final one may be released by Gongsun Zhan.

But the final result surprised Liu Xuan: Gongsun Zhan and Yuan Shao actually jointly issued a document begging for thieves, and the response was even more enthusiastic, almost all the heroes of the Kwantung region raised troops, and even Xiliang Taishou Ma Teng, who was in the northwest, echoed from afar - it is impossible to expect Ma Teng to really play any role, and it is not easy to wave the flag and shout behind Dong Zhuo's hometown.

The alliance of the princes finally claimed to be the alliance of Dong and elected Yuan Shao as the leader of the alliance and Gongsun Zan as the deputy leader of the alliance, gathered tens of thousands of soldiers and horses, and went straight to Luoyang with an amazing momentum.

When the news reached the Jingshi Luoyang, Dong Zhuo was naturally very angry, and even directly reprimanded Taifu Yuan Kui above the court, and even wanted to execute Yuan Kui as soon as he opened his mouth.

The crime is naturally the crime of treason.

At this time, it was already the second year of Yonghan - but as soon as the New Year passed, these old ministers said that they would change the yuan, this time Liu Xuan couldn't stand their nonsense, and said directly: "It's good to build and be safe!"

Anyway, this era name will be completely abolished after he really takes power, and then a fixed calendar will be introduced, so he will not do two endlessly, and directly move out the name of the longest era used by the emperor to be presented, and the ministers will not refute it when they see the emperor speak, and it is not bad to refute the name of Jian'an, plus the name of Jian'an is not bad, so according to Liu Xuan's intention, the year name will be changed to Jian'an, which is the first year of Jian'an.

Liu Xuan has another set of calendars in his heart, this time should be 190 AD, the battle against Dong Zhuo is this year, but it is anticlimactic, and it is announced that it will be over without two battles, but only after these two battles are over, Dong Zhuo will move the capital to Chang'an because he is afraid of the heroes of the Kwantung region - at that time, Dong Zhuo will also complete his historical mission, and Liu Xuan will not continue to leave him.

It is precisely because the big event is approaching that Liu Xuan needs to win over the princes of the court and the central government more and more, so when Dong Zhuo was furious and wanted to kill Yuan Kui to vent his anger, Liu Xuan spoke: "Yuan Taifu has been in the court for a long time, loyal to the country, when he will not do that rebellious thing, the rebellion in the Kwantung should be the original behavior of Yuan, and the crime of Taifu should not be judged because of this." ”

Dong Zhuo didn't seem to expect that when all the princes in the court and the central government didn't dare to speak, this son of heaven would dare to speak, and the meaning of this seemed to be to protect Yuan Kui?

Dong Zhuo, who had been powerful for half a year, suddenly felt that he was offended, even if this person was the emperor, it made him extremely unhappy, and he was about to speak, but he saw Li Ru not far away looking at him, although he was indignant in his heart, he still put on a courtier posture, and said to Liu Xuan: "The minister is out of shape, please blame Your Majesty." ”

Liu Xuan saw that Dong Zhuo was actually soft, and he was slightly surprised and did not continue to dwell on this issue, so this early court dispersed like this, Taifu Yuan Kui had already closed his eyes and waited for death, but unexpectedly, things turned around?

"What is this for? Could it be that the Son of Heaven wants to rely on me to check and balance Dong Zhuo?"

I couldn't figure it out, so I wanted to discuss it with some people. However, the Yuan family is powerful, and it is also a faction of its own in the court, and at this time, it is impossible to find a suitable person to discuss together.

was depressed, and suddenly saw Situ Wang Yun secretly glaring at him, and then whispered to invite himself to come over when he passed side by side with him.

Although Liu Xuan didn't see this, he had already noticed that Wang Yun was secretly making eye contact with a few people, and it was estimated that this Wang Situ saw the alliance of the Kwantung princes, and there seemed to be hope to bring Dong Zhuo down under the pressure of the soldiers, so he was unwilling to be lonely and wanted to do something.

He didn't want to participate in this, and it was even more difficult to stop him, so he just returned to the dormitory, called Xun Yu, and discussed with him to see if this time would cause any changes.

"My clan's son Xun Gongda has also been invited by Wang Situ today, why don't you call him over in the evening, please ask Your Majesty to ask?"

Because Xun Yu served the Son of Heaven in the palace, it was inconvenient for him to participate in many things, but Xun Yu often went in and out of the palace because of his position, and he was also quite familiar with many courtiers, not to mention that he was a member of the Yingchuan Xun family.

Today, the Xun family is the most valued person in the court, when it is Sikong Xun Shuang, this time he was also invited by Wang Yun to his house, Liu Xuan has now decided to win over Xun Yu, so he also attaches a little more importance to the Yingchuan Xun family, and then he noticed that the Sikong in his court is also the Xun family - he used to only stare at those few people, and Xun Shuang was semi-forced to enter the court, so he was extremely low-key in the court, and he didn't talk much in the court on weekdays, and Liu Xuan, who was troublesome, never paid attention to him.

Since the Xun family 'mixed' into the 'party', Liu Xuan didn't care, but discussed with Xun Yu about the Dong Alliance.

"The Kwantung princes raised troops to fight against Dong, but they didn't know that several of them were really trying to eradicate the evil spirits. ”

Xun Yu didn't answer, but said: "Today, the next group of heroes rose together, each with countless soldiers and horses, ranging from thousands to tens of thousands. For example, the Bohai Sea guards Yuan Shao, only one Taishou, but has tens of thousands of soldiers, I'm afraid it's a big plan!"

This time, the princes raised troops, and the momentum was extremely amazing, but at the same time, some unsightly things of the Kanto heroes were exposed-obviously they were all Han families, but these county guards in one place had so many soldiers and horses, and they could be mobilized at will, and they could also fight thieves across states, which shows that the counties of Kanto are no longer under the control of the imperial court.

Even if there is a name for begging for thieves, he still can't escape the fact of self-respect.

"Today, everyone exposed their own soldiers and horses, but they are afraid that as soon as this Dong Zhuo falls, they will immediately attack each other. At that time, Kanto was in chaos, but it was a great opportunity for me to regain the land of Kansai. ”

Xun Yu said: "But if Dong Zhuo is defeated by the coalition army, how will Your Majesty deal with these many princes?"

After thinking about it, they can only reward each of them, and then let them return to their respective territories. But there are many ambitious people among the princes, and if these people are not satisfied with these rewards and insist on leading troops into Luoyang, then what will they do?

Then completely tear up the face with the princes of the world, I am afraid that the princes will unite as soon as possible to destroy the imperial court first.

Liu Xuan smiled and said: "As long as Dong Zhuo is slightly defeated, he will directly move the capital to Chang'an, leaving this Yang to him to compete with that group of heroes." ”

This can be regarded as a backup plan arranged by Liu Xuan.

That is, if things change and do not move forward according to his plan, then he will abandon the capital one step ahead of Dong Zhuo - although it will be detrimental to the majesty of his Son of Heaven at that time, this is exactly what he wants.

If not, how could the Kanto heroes completely leave the Son of Heaven aside? So at this time, what Liu Xuan had to do was to ruin his reputation, and then go to Kanto to develop in a low-key manner.

He remembered that when the battle between Dong Lianjun and Dong Zhuo was at its fiercest, Dong Zhuo had a record of personally leading the army to fight with the coalition army, which was when they left Luoyang.

If he did this, there would be a lot of trouble, and he had to beware of Dong Zhuo leading troops to chase and kill, and at that time, it seemed that all he could count on was Cao Cao's Yulin Army.

In addition, you have to calculate the time, and at the same time, you have to let Dong Zhuo's army be restrained by the Kwantung heroes, and the doppelganger lacks skills, so that this can really succeed.

"Your Majesty wants to stop Dong Zhuo with the Tongguan Heavenly Danger, and then sit and watch Dong Zhuo fight with the heroes and take the northwest land?"

Xun Yu talked with Liu Xuan for a while, and immediately understood Liu Xuan's plan, thought about it for a while, and suddenly said: "This plan is better than the previous plan, why doesn't Your Majesty use this strategy first?"

Liu Xuan was stunned for a moment, and was asked for a while.

"Yes, if it can achieve the same effect, then why do I have to stick to the original routine?"

He originally thought that since he could achieve his goal by developing according to the original process, it would be good for him to watch from the sidelines. At this time, I remembered that if I had taken the initiative, I could have been in the world two years earlier.

If it had been before, it didn't matter if it was two years earlier or two years later, and at that time, once he came out of retreat, it would have been more than two years, or even twenty years. But now is the time to develop, there are many things that are missing in the past two years, not to mention the side, in just these two years, it is completely possible to train the Yulin army into a strong army, and even form the tiger and leopard cavalry that Cao Cao has been thinking about.

"It's just that the Tiger Prison is only fifty miles away from Luoyang, and if Your Majesty makes a slight move, I'm afraid Dong Zhuo will know about it immediately. ”

Liu Xuan thought for a while: "This matter is not difficult, even if Dong Zhuo leads the army out of Beijing, he will definitely leave someone to monitor me and the hundred officials in the court, and he will make some fuss about the person who is watching." ”

Xun Yu thought about it, and immediately suddenly said: "Your Majesty wants to recruit Duting Hou?" But then his brows furrowed: "Duting Hou worshipped Dong Zhuo as his father-in-law, I'm afraid it won't be so easy to recruit." ”

"What the people of the world want is nothing more than fame and fortune, but now everything that the Dutinghou asks for can be given, how can he not be recruited?

P.S: Throwing down Dong Fei and the heroes, Liu Xuan is ready to run away~
