The war that happened between Yanqing and Yinghou Luochuan was very concerned.

His reputation in the world is extremely high, and a person like him should have sat firmly on the Diaoyutai platform, but his identity made him have to step down from the high platform.

On the walls of the city of Luoying.

Luo Chuan looked at the west from afar, the sun was slowly setting, Luo Qian was standing quietly beside him in a plain hairpin skirt, Luo Chuan suddenly said: "Madam, who do you say will win?" ”

Luo Qian said directly without the slightest hesitation: "I don't know, are you ready for Liu Bei's failure?" ”

Liu Bei failed!

Luo Chuan didn't say anything when he heard this, just stretched out his hand and gently stroked the green bricks on the city wall, there were traces of wind and rain on it, as well as countless swords and the breath of war, and there was the history of the Yinghou Kingdom in the bricks and tiles.

In the late Han Dynasty and the late Han Dynasty, there were people who attacked the Yinghou Kingdom, because everyone knew that the Yinghou Kingdom was the "last iron wall of the Han Dynasty", but anyone who wanted to overthrow the Han Dynasty would not let go of the Yinghou Kingdom.

If Liu Bei had failed and Cao Cao had occupied Yanzhou and Qingzhou, would he have been a loyal minister of the Han Dynasty?

If he is not a loyal minister of the Han Dynasty, then how can the Yinghou State deal with itself?

Madame's words, Luo Chuan really didn't know how to answer, he made it possible for Liu Bei to fail, because no one would necessarily succeed, he didn't have the possibility of Liu Bei's failure, because he didn't know if Liu Bei was not worthy of support, then who else could he go to help the Han family.

Youzhou Liu Yu, Jingzhou Liu Biao, Yizhou Liu Yan, these three Luo Chuan have all intersected, not as good as Liu Bei, if Liu Bei can't revitalize the Han family, then under the world, where should Yinghou go?

Luo Qian looked at Luo Chuan, who was a little confused, hugged him from behind, and said softly: "Back then, the ancestor Yingwen Marquis assisted Emperor Gao to set the world, did he leave this city to his descendants?"

What Yinghou represents is not a city, but exists in the hearts of the three hundred years of Han people, where you are, Yinghou is there.

As long as there is still the Liu family who dares to work hard, as long as there is Yinghou who is willing to help the Han family, the Han Dynasty will not die! ”

Although Luo Qian is a woman, her words are as hard as gold and stone, and her words and will are indestructible.

Luo Chuan only felt a hot current surging into his heart, he stretched out his big hand to cover Luo Qian's hand, feeling the warm and fragrant breath, and said slowly but firmly: "Liu Bei will definitely succeed."

When this war is over, let Qi Er and Mi's noble daughter get married, since Lanling Xiao and Huaiyin Han have doubts about Liu Bei, then Yinghou will lead the Xuzhou scholars. ”

Luo Qian rubbed Luo Chuan slightly, and said softly: "This is my husband, but you are the world's model Luo Zichuan."

The model of the world should have the will of Mount Tai and the determination of thunder. ”

……

When the two of them were on their way with the army,

Liu Bei and Cao Cao met in Yanzhou, and when the two met, in a trance, it seemed that it was still when King Qin fought against Zhang Jiao together.

It's been a few years, but this moment is a bit like yesterday.

Both of them are at the peak of their power in life, and when they are in high spirits, these two are much friendlier than Yuan Shao and Gongsun Zhan when they meet.

Although there was hostility on the battle array, it did not affect the sympathy between the two, and they even walked to each other's front of the formation, calling each other "Xuande Gong" and "Meng Degong".

The two armies were far apart, and they were stationed separately, Cao Cao invited Liu Bei to cook wine before the war, and the post was sent directly to Liu Bei's army.

When Cao Cao wrote the letter, Cao Jun felt that this move was a bit ridiculous, and asked suspiciously: "Lord, is this a bit ...... Will Liu Xuande come? ”

When Cao Cao heard what he asked, he couldn't help but recall Liu Bei in his mind.

Although they only got along for a few months, it was the best time to get to know a person on the way to escape, and Yuan Shao and his Cao Cao's admiration for Liu Bei was established in the process of escaping.

Facing everyone's doubts, Cao Cao laughed softly: "You don't understand, Liu Xuande is a real hero, why didn't he come?"

Don't say that it is allowed to bring guards, even if he can only go to the meeting alone, he will come, this is Liu Xuande's courage. ”

The admiration for Liu Bei in the words is beyond words, the generals of the Cao clan and the Xiahou clan still have some understanding, and most of the Yanzhou people and Yingchuan people who followed Cao Cao later are a little confused.

Xun Yu was thoughtful, in the process of the possible start of this war, Cao Cao had already talked about Liu Bei countless times, and he crushed the ink for Cao Cao and asked, "Lord, do you want to bring the guards there?"

The clan generals and General Xu are all the choices of the moment. ”

Cao Cao shook his head and smiled: "Take it, Liu Xuande must be the same, those generals under his command are not easy to get along with."

If a few of you scribes go with me, I will show you this great man of the world. ”

Hearing Cao Cao mention the generals under Liu Bei, Zhu Xiahou and the generals of the Cao family all had a somewhat unnatural face, they all fought with Zhang Jiao back then, and they knew best how perverted the people under Liu Bei were.

When they knew that they were going to fight with Liu Bei, these people warned each other not to fight, at least not one-on-one, otherwise they really couldn't fight.

Facing Cao Cao's greetings, Liu Bei smiled at everyone in the army: "1,200 years ago, Luo Wengong retreated from Xiong Dun with a glass of wine, if I Liu Bei can drink a glass of wine to retreat Cao Apu, wouldn't I be able to rank with the ancient sages?" ”

As soon as Liu Bei said this, everyone knew that he had to go, Guan Yu half-squinted his eyes and twisted his beard lightly, his impression of Cao Cao was quite good.

Besides, in his opinion, with his two brothers and Zilong, where in the world can't he go?

After all, Zhang Jiao is dead!

Liu Bei and Cao Cao laid down a sheet of cloth in front of the two armies, and then moved the kneeling chair over and sat directly on the ground.

After Cao Cao and Liu Bei knelt down and sat down, they smiled at each other, and Cao Cao said with some emotion: "Xuande, a few years ago, I never expected to meet you here today. ”

There are two meanings in these words, the first layer is that I didn't expect the two to meet each other, and the second layer is that I didn't expect Liu Bei to be qualified to sit opposite him, and people who didn't even have the qualifications of the princes of King Yi Yi a few years ago would develop so quickly.

Liu Bei understood, so he said meaningfully: "My rise is because of the bloodline of the Liu family."

Because of the kindness and blessings of the ancestors, he was helped by the marquis and nobles.

How many people in this world have risen and become nobles not because of the favor of the Liu family? ”

Liu Bei is pointing at Cao Cao, saying Cao Cao, do you remember why your ancestors were noble?

It is because your ancestor was the half-brother of Emperor Xiaocheng that he became noble, isn't this because of the Liu family?

Cao Cao's face did not change, and he answered with some emotion: "Yes, the Cao family used to become noble because of the kindness of Emperor Xiaocheng, so the elders of the Cao family and the Xiahou clan fully supported me to raise troops and Qin Wang, but unfortunately my ability was limited, and I failed to succeed in Qin Wang, and the clan and township party were all killed in a foreign land."

I, Cao Cao, am sorry for the monarch Sheji, and I am sorry for the ancestral villagers, and I have no shame to return to the clan. ”

Everyone didn't say a word in the back, listening to Liu Bei and Cao Cao making moves here, and there were swords and swords in every sentence, which was the concept of the two of them competing.

Liu Bei was a little silent when he heard this, the losses of the various princes of King Qin were very large, and some families really filled in their lives, although there are people in this world who draw on fame and fortune, but there is never a shortage of loyal ministers and righteous people.

What about the clan children that Cao Cao brought with him the generals who are now sitting behind him?

There are also those children of the county, these people died in a foreign land, in the current era when the clan is bigger than the sky, how can Cao Cao easily get by?

Thinking of this, Liu Bei took a drink from the wine bottle and said, "Meng De, if you are willing to withdraw from the army, the Han family still has a place for you." ”

Hearing this, Cao Cao held the wine bottle with one hand, then looked at the sky, and suddenly said, "Xuande, which Han family do you say?"

The Cao clan of the first Han Dynasty used to be noble, and the Later Han gradually declined, and now the Later Han has lost the Mandate of Heaven.

It's ridiculous.

Every edict issued by the Han family in Chang'an was an insult to the Han family. ”

Although Cao Cao still recognized Liu Xie's throne from the bottom of his heart, now that he is Yuan Shao's ally, he must stick to this moral bottom line.

Among the princes in this world, Yuan Shao was the one who resolutely refused to recognize the throne of Emperor Liu Xie, and was directly called King Hongnong.

Liu Bei's eyes sharpened when he heard this, and he said with a golden stone in his voice: "Meng De, the Han family needs an emperor, and there is no more suitable emperor than Liu Xie." ”

A dynasty that has lost its mandate of heaven is already crumbling and precarious, and if even the emperor, the political leader, disappears at this time, then can this dynasty still exist?

Of course it doesn't exist!

This is unacceptable to Liu Bei, where is there a more orthodox but less threatening banner of the Han family than Liu Xie today?

Never again!

Liu Xie must be the emperor of the Han family, and whoever does not recognize Liu Xie's throne is Liu Bei's enemy.

Cao Cao looked at Liu Bei and suddenly said leisurely: "Xuande, when Dong Zhuo was in turmoil, Emperor Xiaoshu was held hostage, not counting the unequaled Hou Luokong, the most powerful person in the world is Yuan Shao and Yuan Benchu, followed by me Cao Cao."

Emperor Xiaoshu was killed, and the undisputed emperor of the Han Dynasty collapsed in this way.

The three heroes who defended the filial piety of the emperor at the beginning, Wushuang Hou Luokong and Dong Zhuo died together, and Yuan Shao and I, Cao Cao, suddenly became traitors who did not obey the emperor's orders.

Isn't it the most ridiculous thing that Gongsun Zhan raided Jizhou when Yuan Benchu was bloodbathing for the Han family, but now he has become a loyal minister of the Han family?

Where in the world is there such a truth?

Where in the world is there such an unfairness?

Emperor Su, the two sages of Luokong, and Mencius, the first saints, didn't teach us like this! ”

In the Han Dynasty, Mencius's status was quite special, and in his book "Mencius", half of the pages talked about the road of righteousness, and the other half talked about the way of kings and ministers, and the way of kings and people.

Once Mencius is mentioned, it means that the subjects are beginning to question the emperor.

Regarding Gongsun Zhan's matter, Liu Bei feels a headache every time he thinks about it, what he did is really hard to say, and it is difficult to argue.

But at this time, you can't let it go no matter what, you can only put your attitude out.

Liu Bei Zhengse said: "Yuan Shao and Meng De, your merits, everyone in the world sees it, but at this time and that time, when you were a loyal minister of Emperor Xiaoshu, the people of the world praised you, and now you are unwilling to recognize the throne of Emperor Jian'an, so you are crusading against you."

You are all heroes of the Han Dynasty, if we work together to maintain the throne of Emperor Jian'an, will the world be unstable?

What Gongsun Chan did was naturally inappropriate, but as both Han princes, he should not ignore the Han community because of personal grudges. ”

Liu Bei's meaning is obvious, if it weren't for Yuan Shao's reluctance to recognize Liu Xie's throne, even if he hung Gongsun Chan up and beat him, he wouldn't have made a move, after all, there was indeed an old grudge between the two sides.

But this is mixed with the struggle for the survival of the Han family, which has something to do with me Liu Xuande, I must participate, Gongsun Chan is at fault again, his current political position is with me.

And there is a hidden deep meaning in Liu Bei's words, are you princes really not admitting it because Liu Xie is not right?

Isn't it because the Han Dynasty's destiny fell, and the filial piety emperor collapsed, and he already had a different kind of mind in his heart?

Because Cao Cao was more sensitive to this topic, he naturally understood the point, he looked at Liu Bei deeply and said: "Xuande entered Qingzhou, with the help of Yinghou and Erlu Xiang, and also got Lu's wife, which reminds people of the scene when the Han Dynasty founded the country three hundred years ago, and everyone in the world praises you for having the style of a high emperor!" ”

Liu Bei raised his wine glass and drank it, and said indifferently: "Bei Nai is a descendant of Emperor Gao, and he has the style of an ancestor, this is a natural principle, is there anything wrong?" ”

Cao Cao couldn't help but laugh out loud when he heard this, and it was the kind of laugh that couldn't be stopped at all, worthy of Liu Xuande!

It's so thick-skinned!

Cao Cao knew that this conversation should end here, so he offered to take his leave, and when he stood up, he heard Liu Bei say leisurely again, "Mengde, the Han will not die, I hope you will get back on track as soon as possible." ”

Cao Cao suddenly turned around, and saw Liu Bei Zheng looking at him with shining eyes, and when he saw him looking over, his eyes were full of determination, "As long as there is still me Liu Bei in one day, as long as Yinghou and Erlu, as long as there is Liu in the hearts of this world, the Han will not die!" ”

Liu Bei's voice was extremely high, not only Cao Cao, but everyone present heard it.

Liu Bei's voice contained endless resoluteness, and anyone could hear his resoluteness, which was a determination that he was willing to pay any price.

He stood up, and his body was filled with grandeur and light, a state that only a man of faith can find.

Everyone looked at Liu Bei in shock, they had no doubt that as long as they could revive the Han Dynasty, even if Liu Bei was crushed, he was willing!

In front of a person like Liu Bei, even if he formed an alliance with someone like Gongsun Zhan, everyone believed that he and Gongsun Zhan were not the same dog, but just an expedient measure.

Cao Cao didn't speak, turned around and left, his steps were getting faster and faster, and after a while, he was afraid that he couldn't help but say to Liu Bei that if there was really that day, he would only want to be a general of the Han Dynasty.

Xun Yu got up and glanced at Liu Bei after leaving, only to feel that it was indeed a great gain to come here today to see Liu Xuande, and it was even quite helpful for the future war.

At least in Xun Yu's opinion, the vigilance of this war should be raised by another level, because Liu Bei is not the kind of monarch who can fiddle at will, if Yuan Shu is on the opposite side of this battle, even if his strength is stronger than his own, then Xun Yu will not look down on him.

"Wen Ruo, how is this Liu Xuande?"

Xun Yu was thinking about these things, and suddenly Cao Cao asked, he thought for a while, and then replied: "It is true that there are rare heroes in the world.

But in Yu's opinion, this Liu Xuande is still a few points worse than the lord, and the reason why he can have today's results is because the rest of the clansmen in the Liu family are incompetent and cannot carry the banner of the Ding Han family.

Yinghou and others had no choice but to choose Liu Bei, but the lord was not, and he struggled to rise, although he had the power of the clan, but compared with the help Liu Bei received, it was far inferior.

Therefore, if Liu Bei is not as good as the lord, our army will win this battle. ”

In addition to Xun Yu's top-level governance and strategic ability, his strongest point is that he can always give feedback to the lord, which is the key to his ranking among the top politicians.

There is no one in this world who will not have doubts, and no one can always be firm, because people live in the game, and there is no God's perspective, even Luo Chuan has doubts.

At times like these, what is needed is not a better piece of advice, but someone you trust to firmly tell you that you did the right thing, and now you just need to stick with it to win.

In Cao Cao's army, Xun Yu is the one who can provide Cao Cao with emotional value, and his role in Cao Cao's camp is irreplaceable by anyone.

Seeing Cao Cao leaving, Liu Bei also got up and left, looking at the group of advisors who followed Cao Cao, Liu Bei was almost drooling with envy.

He couldn't help but think of Gongzi Qi, the eldest son of Yinghou, if Gongzi Qi could be his mastermind, this battle would definitely be much easier.

After talking with Cao Cao, Liu Bei's need to seek a mastermind became higher and higher, because the conversation with Cao Cao just now had exposed a very important problem.

That is, the princes of the world will stop pretending to be when they see it, and the banner of the Han Dynasty is really about to be abandoned, and Yuan Shao's disdain for the Han family is already clearly visible to everyone in the world.

In Liu Bei's view, in the eyes of people like Yuan Shao, now that this Han has neither the mandate of heaven nor the virtue to be able to get the loyalty of the old ministers of the Han family, self-reliance is the best choice.

Now that the iron cavalry of Liaodong Yan is becoming more and more sharp, and now there is no Son of Heaven in the Central Plains, if Liaodong Yan establishes itself as the king, or even the emperor, how will the princes of the Central Plains react?

Liu Bei knew that there was not much time left for him, and he had to condense the residual warmth of the Han family that still existed sporadically in people's hearts as soon as possible.

The first step is to defeat Cao Cao, if you don't defeat Cao Cao, you can only be trapped in Qingzhou, if you can't even get through Yanzhou and Henan County, how can you occupy Sizhou and march into Guanzhong to meet the emperor?

Liu Bei turned around and saw that everyone had already gotten up, and was about to beckon everyone to leave, Guan Yu suddenly bowed heavily and said: "I am willing to follow the eldest brother, revive the Han Dynasty, and break my bones, and do not change my will!" ”

Zhang Fei reflexively hugged his fist and said: "Big brother, I am the same!" ”

Everyone said with solemn faces: "I am willing to follow the lord to build a great cause and restore the Han family!" ”

Looking at the scene in front of him, Liu Bei walked up to Guan Yu and helped him up, and said, "Second brother, third brother, ...... everyone"

Liu Bei couldn't help but choke up a little, "The wishes of the monarchs, Liu Bei knows, and he is willing to build a great cause with the monarchs." ”

Cao Cao and the others had not gone far, so they naturally saw the movement of Liu Bei's side, Xun Yu looked at this scene thoughtfully, he understood that this was the purpose and cultural banner of Liu Bei's group.

This kind of thing doesn't seem to be of much use on the surface, but it is an extremely important thing for a power, and it can even attract those extremely good talents through this kind of banner.

Reviving the Han Dynasty.

This banner represents not only the restoration of order, but also implies the great wish to override the world.

This is Liu Bei vaguely expressing his ambition to the people of the world, showing that he is not the kind of dog who is only willing to sit in one place, but a hero who aspires to the world.

Even those who were not interested in reviving the Han dynasty would also be interested in Liu Bei's forces, in short, Xun Yu felt the benefits that this banner could bring after a little thought.

He couldn't help but think of the power of Cao Cao, where he lived, what kind of banner should be raised to attract the heroes of the world as well?

There is only one answer.

Xun Yu's eyes looked at Chang'an, this answer has been in Cao Cao's camp for a long time, when Cao Cao tried to catch up with Li Dao and snatch Liu Xie over after Luoyang Wushuang Hou Luokong killed Dong Zhuo, he was executing this path.

Serve the emperor to order Hanchen!

It's a pity that he didn't fight the Xiliang soldiers, which led to the bankruptcy of this plan, in Xun Yu's view, after the end of this battle, no matter whether he wins or loses, he must change the current situation, and he must develop in Sizhou Guanzhong, which is the right way.

Yanzhou, the land of four wars, can only be used as a foundation for the time being, and cannot always be used as a foundation.

Neither Liu Bei nor Yuan Shao is an opponent who can easily win the battle, on the other hand, Li Dao Guo Yan in Guanzhong is two simple warriors with no brains, and it is easy to defeat these two people.

If you can occupy Guanzhong, become the trend of Western Qin in the past, and then curb the three rivers, you can get the momentum of swallowing the world.

Xun Yu had countless plans flashing in his mind, and when Cao Cao called him again, he reacted, and the most important thing now was the current war.

If you can directly defeat Liu Bei, occupy the two states of Yanqing, and then seek to seize Xuzhou and Yuzhou, and possess the land of the four states of the Central Plains, where do you need to enter what passes?

Directly go north to destroy Yuan Shao and Gongsun Zhan, and go south to sweep away Yuan Shu and Liu Biao, within Liuhe, among the eight wildernesses, where are there any opponents?

The war between Cao Cao and Liu Bei was fought quite cautiously, completely highlighting a rhythm that would rather not win than make a mistake.

If the war between Yuan Shao and Gongsun Zhan was for the position of the overlord of the north, then the war between Cao Cao and Liu Bei was for the position of one of the overlords of the Central Plains.

Another strong contender was Yuan Shu, but although Yuan Shu occupied part of Yuzhou, his goal was Huaisi, Jiangdong.

In addition, because Liu Biao has been contained in the rear, Yuan Shu, who is the strongest, did not participate in this war for hegemony of the Central Plains.

It is very likely that the winner between Liu Bei and Cao Cao will be the one who challenges Yuan Shu, if the two can really defeat the other and grab a lot of war benefits.

Even if Liu Bei is now an ally of Yuan Shu, as long as the situation changes, the relationship between the two sides will change, and today's allies may not become enemies.

In other words, where are the allies on the road to unifying the world?

The emperor is fighting for the road, the bones are piled up, the blood is flowing like a river, and it is normal for countless heroes and heroes to bend their waists.

Yuan Shu himself was naturally extremely irritable about not being able to participate in the Central Plains War, but after thinking about it, his goal has always been Xuzhou and controlling Huaisi.

Now taking advantage of the fact that Cao Cao and Liu Bei are fighting for life and death and have no chance to attack Xuzhou, he is one step ahead, which is simply an opportunity given by God.

As for Liu Biao, Yuan Shu didn't take Liu Biao in his heart at all, a dog who couldn't even settle the Jingzhou Shi clan, how could he be his opponent of Yuan Shu?

My Yuan Shu was born in a wealthy family in Luoyang, and I am the son-in-law of the fourth and third princes of the Runan Yuan family, and the concubine Yuan Shao is still known as the handsome man in the world, how can my Yuan Shutang's sister-in-law be inferior to a concubine?

Moreover, Yuan Shu thought that he had already controlled Jiujiang and Lujiang, and it was easy to enter Xuzhou from Jiujiang and Lujiang.

Judging from the current situation in Xuzhou, if you want to get Huaisi, as long as the Xuzhou scholars and Lanling Xiao and Huaiyin Han do not oppose fiercely, it is not very difficult.

Even if he was opposed, Yuan Shu was determined to use his sword to subdue them, and as one of the largest warrior clans in the world, Yuan Shu thought to himself that even if he killed those who were opposed, no one would say anything.

But just when he was full of confidence, he never expected that Sun Jian would really have a heart of disobedience!

He had long suspected that Sun Jian had a disobedient heart at the beginning, and after Sun Jian happily accepted the appointment of Yangzhou Pastor of the imperial court, his suspicion had risen to the top.

Sure enough, after Sun Jian occupied Jiujiang County and Lujiang County, he became very disobedient and unwilling to obey his orders.

Now he is even more disobedient to his own orders, and at the moment when he saw that a big war was about to be made, he even brazenly provoked a war with Jiangdong Wu County.

Although Yuan Shu is not so smart, he is not a fool, and of course he knows what Sun Jian is for.

Isn't it just to control Yangzhou, become a real Yangzhou pastor, and then get rid of his own control.

This made Yuan Shu quite angry, and he scolded: "What an ungrateful person!

If it weren't for General Ben, he would just be a wanted criminal in the imperial court, how could he get his current status and status, and he would be such a naked betrayal.

I will never let him go! ”
