When Liu Bei heard this, he hurriedly bowed and saluted, and asked in surprise: "Be afraid, why did Your Majesty say this?" Could it be that the ministers are sluggish? ”

"Definitely."

Liu Xie shook his head lightly: "I went out of Chang'an more than ten years ago, and I suffered endlessly along the way, and almost starved to death with hundreds of officials, and later went to Xu Capital for Cao Cao, I thought I could settle down, but I didn't want Cao Cao to steal power and steal the country, I thought that Uncle Huang was the Liu family."

"Your Majesty can rest assured, if you are not prepared to fulfill the courtesy of the ministers, you should be killed by heaven and man, and you will not see your ancestors after death."

Mistakenly thinking that Liu Xie was beating him, Liu Beiyan raised his hand to increase his forehead, bowed his body ninety degrees, straightened his back and raised his eyebrows again, and then landed on his knees at the same time, slowly bowed down and landed on the ground, with his forehead on the palm

It is said that Liu Xie came to vote alone, Liu Bei can learn from Cao Cao to coerce the Son of Heaven to order not to be subordinate, and there is no problem with his status as an imperial uncle, but Liu Bei has his own code of conduct.

Kneeling and bowing should not have been on such an occasion, but Liu Bei saluted in front of his own soldiers and Cao Jun, and made a judgment against Cao Cao's arrogant behavior.

"Uncle Huang doesn't have to be like this, hurry up."

Liu Xie helped Liu Bei up with a look of surprise, and explained with a straight face: "Uncle Huang misunderstood, I am not worried that Uncle Huang will learn from Cao Cao to gain power, in fact, I escaped from the tiger's mouth alone this time, worried that this move will bring trouble to Uncle Huang, now Cao Cao is powerful and supports the establishment of a puppet emperor, do you have the confidence to get rid of the national thief?" ”

"The ministers are duty-bound, although Cao Cao is powerful at this time, but he is perverse, in a vain attempt to subvert the Han family, Your Majesty only needs to raise your arms and shout, the loyal ministers and righteous men of the world will destroy the thieves for Your Majesty."

Seeing Liu Bei's words, Liu Xie's heart was a little worried, but he followed up and asked: "Cao Thief deliberately spread the news of my death, and controlled hundreds of officials to set up a puppet emperor and a puppet dynasty in Yecheng, how do the people of the world know the truth or falsehood?" ”

"Your Majesty, don't worry, except for the Central Plains, Hebei, Guanzhong, Liangzhou, Jingzhou and Yangzhou controlled by Cao Cao, it is certain that only Your Majesty is the head of the horse, and after Liu Jiyu of Yizhou is the clan, he will not conspire with Cao Cao's traitors, leaving aside Jiaozhou and Liaodong, which are far away, most of the world is still in your hands."

After Liu Bei's comfort, Liu Xie finally stretched his brows, and echoed his chin with his head: "I really didn't expect Long Qing to be so loyal, if he hadn't besieged Xu Du this time, Luo Yicheng would not have been able to succeed, and I haven't figured out how to reward him."

"Except for Yuzhang and Luling, the counties of Yangzhou are all leveled by Yunqi, Your Majesty may wish to give him a name, and it will also be convenient for him to govern the place and suppress the rebellion."

After listening to Liu Bei's suggestion, Liu Xie kept nodding in affirmation, but suddenly frowned and became bitter.

"It's a pity that I left in a hurry, and the jade seal of the country was left behind."

"This."

Liu Bei turned his head to Zhuge Liang and asked.

Zhuge Liang said: "As Your Majesty worries, Cao Cao slandered Your Majesty and established a puppet emperor in Yecheng, if we don't rebuild the court, Cao Cao's treacherous plan will succeed, and Your Majesty should return to Chang'an to take the world." ”

"The military affairs of that Hongnong."

Liu Bei thought about such a major event as reorganizing the imperial court, and both himself and Zhuge Liang had to be present, he was worried that he would leave Jingzhou like Cao Cao, and the Cao army in Luoyang would take advantage of the situation to fight back.

Zhuge Liang smiled slightly, "The Cao army has heavy troops on land and water, and it is really difficult to attack it head-on, but Cao Hong is afraid and does not dare to go out easily, there are Yide and Meng Qi here, both of them have the courage of ten thousand people, not to mention that General Guan has just won a great victory in Jingzhou, which will inevitably affect the morale of Luoyang Cao's army, and Chang'an is not far from here."

"That's fine."

Liu Bei nodded in response, turned around and saluted Liu Xie: "Your Majesty, Kong Ming's words are reasonable, the minister will escort you back to Chang'an immediately, your former palace in the city, the minister has already sorted it out." ”

"Okay, there's Uncle Lao."

Liu Xiegang took a few steps on his horse, and suddenly looked back and muttered regretfully: "It's a pity that Luoyang was burned down by Dong Zhuo, so I want to go back to the place where I was born."

Liu Bei'er was good at listening, so he comforted and said: "Your Majesty, don't worry, wait for the ministers to conquer Luoyang City, and send someone to renovate it, by the way, Long Yunqi not only knows the soldiers and understands politics, but also is best at the art of construction. ”

"Feng Xudu's magic cement, I heard that it was developed by Long Qing, very good, very good"

Although he has never met Long Xiangsu, Liu Xie already has a general image in his mind, thanks to Luo Yicheng's introduction.

Two months on the way from Xudu to Hongnong, Luo Yicheng became an encouragement to the Son of Heaven, how Long Xiang started from abandoned Hefei and developed into an existence that can influence the pattern of the world, and his tenacity and wisdom made Luo Yicheng proud, and Liu Xie was greatly encouraged after hearing it.

For the loyal servants who save the perilous, they should be rewarded severely.

Liu Xie went to Chang'an to form the imperial court, and Liu Bei drove his subordinates Mi Zhu, Jian Yong, Liu Yan and others, but the officials needed by the imperial court were simply not enough, so Zhuge Liang suggested transferring people from Jingzhou.

When Jiang Qinwan opened the city gate, only a small number of officials in the city fled with Liu Cong, and most of them were controlled by Guan Ping in the city.

Later, Liu Qi settled in Xiangyang from Fancheng, and Liu Biao's old subordinates were willing to be loyal to the eldest prince, among which Pang Tong was represented by Nanjun Gongcao.

Liu Xie followed Zhuge Liang's words and included Yangzhou talents.

The Han court was reorganized in Chang'an, and there were many vacancies in civil and military affairs.

Liu Xie rewarded meritorious deeds and personally named Liu, Guan and Long.

Liu Bei was named the Marquis of Yiyang, the general, the captain of the school, the secretary of the book, and the fake Jieyue;

Guan Yu was named Pingxiang Marquis, former general, Yuzhou pastor, false festival;

Long Xiang was named the Marquis of Tongxiang, General Zuo, Yangzhou Mu, and False Festival;

Zhuge Liang, as the number one adviser, served as Shang Shuling after the reorganization of the imperial court.

Hedong, who surrendered not long ago, was too guarded by Du Ji, and Liu Bei, out of the need for exemplary leadership, asked Liu Xie to serve as Shangshutai Shangshu and serve as Zhuge Liang's deputy.

For the rest of the important official appointments, Liu Xie plans to wait for the arrival of talents in Jingzhou and Yangzhou, and then he will arrange them to specific positions one by one.

At the same time, it also gave the officials trapped in Xudu and Yecheng a chance to be entrusted with important tasks in Chang'an.

At that time, the temperature had turned cooler, and the soldiers of Cao Renwancheng lacked winter clothes.

Because the Nanyang Waterway has become the backyard of Ganning and Lusu, Cao Ren can only shrink and defend with superior forces, waiting for Boss Cao to turn the tide.

However, during Cao Cao's stay in Luoyang, Cao Hong found out that Liu Xie's successful escape was related to the cover of the Yingchuan clan.

Cao Cao was supposed to go to Wancheng to cheer up the defeated army, but when he heard that Xun Yu's people dug a pit and set a trap for him, he immediately lost his mind.

The rumor that Liu Xie was not dead was also quietly transmitted, and Xun Yu instantly sat down after hearing it.

Before he could come up with a way to deal with it, Cao Cao rushed back to Xudu with anger.

"Xun Yu really doesn't know about the escape of the Son of Heaven."

"The Son of Heaven fled? Isn't he in Yecheng? ”

Seeing Cao Cao's cold rhetorical question, Xun Yu hurriedly got off the donkey, and echoed and said: "What the prime minister said is very true, Hongnong is an impostor, Yecheng Tianzi is real, Liu Bei confuses black and white, and should be killed."

"When killed? I received a letter from Zixiao, Wancheng soldiers are short of 80,000 winter clothes, I don't know when Wenruo will be ready? ”

"Amount"

Although it was late autumn and early winter, Xun Yu's forehead was still sweating, and he replied honestly: "The Central Plains has just been hit by a military disaster, and a lot of people have been recruited, if you want to make 80,000 pieces of winter clothes, I'm afraid it will take three months."

"Huh, three months?"

Cao Cao snorted coldly: "Guan Yu is going to hit Xu Du, what is the intention of delaying the sun and the moon like this?" I'll only give you three days."

"Did the prime minister joke with me? How is it possible in three days? Even if the cloth is all ready, it is not enough."
