"Your Majesty has an order, and Liu Xuande, the general of Zhengnan, is in vain to Gu Guoen and has lost trust.

ordered him to turn back to Chang'an immediately, and the army was temporarily replaced by Zhang Xiu! ”

Just when Liu Bei rushed to leave, a piece of news from Chang'an spread directly throughout the world, causing an uproar in the world at once.

Let everyone immediately start to inquire about what happened between Chang'an and Liu Xuande.

Soon, many "insiders" of Chang'an began to circulate.

In short, Liu Bei has been outside for too long!

It has been two years since Liu Bei sent his troops, and Liu Bei has tens of thousands of troops in the Jianghuai area, which is called a stirring up of wind and rain, and he is rewarding everywhere under the banner of the imperial court.

Therefore, there have long been rumors in Chang'an, and those words are quite ugly.

There are even some rumors that directly point the finger at the past, and that posture... It seems that Liu Bei is going to say that he is completely rebellious.

In this state of rumors, the court of Chang'an was able to hold on at first, but as time passed, the atmosphere became more and more weird.

And Guan Yu and Zhang Fei also seemed to have some changes, so the court in Chang'an began to send troops to keep Liu Bei back, but the road of double reversal could not be opened in two years.

Therefore, this order could not be conveyed, until the news that Huainan Yuan Shu was displayed by the head of the public was transmitted back to Chang'an, which was already a year later.

When the news came back, Chang'an found that he Liu Xuande had not yet moved, so he was really in a hurry, and there was such a situation when Liu Bei just appeared.

And for the truth of this matter...

"Hahahaha... Then Liu Xuande can be regarded as self-inflicted consequences, hahahahaha..."At this time, Cao Mengde, who was dealing with the aftermath in Xuzhou, did not know about the migration of the people in Huainan.

At this time, when Cao Mengde learned the news, he was almost laughing from ear to ear.

"Then Liu Xuande brought out thousands of elites this time, which were the vast majority of the soldiers and horses in the imperial court, and now they have never returned to the imperial court all year round.

That Emperor Small... After all, His Majesty was still young, how could he not be cautious about him?

The fact that these three people have become tigers has existed since ancient times, hahahaha...."

Cao Mengde's words also caused a burst of laughter from the generals under his command, and the wise people such as Guo Jia and Xun You, although they looked a little strange now.

But as Cao Mengde just said, they really can't find anything wrong with the current situation, because everything is so reasonable.

Even if they were able to put forward some different opinions, they would not be able to make everyone speak based on speculation, but would make Cao Gong have some different thoughts about them.

It's not pretty.

And the land of Hebei on the other side was also sneering at this time.

"Ziyuan did a good job this time, during this time, Gongsun Zhan was about to be unable to hold on.

At the latest next year, in the spring, we will be able to collect all the land of Hebei!

It's ridiculous that the little emperor dared to stretch out his hand to Hedong and tell Gao Gan to continue Chen Bing, and at the same time contact Zhang Sheng and others to start plundering Hedong.

It is extremely necessary to hold back the footsteps of the little emperor.

How can the emperor rise easily at such a time, he must be under our control! ”

"No!"

With Yuan Shao's words, the famous generals of this Hebei land also moved again.

And from Yuan Shao's mouth, we can also know that the rumors that have spread in Chang'an City are from the hands of Xu You, a strategist from Hebei....

This person has a greedy personality, and he has long been in contact with some people openly and secretly to collect money everywhere, and he has long been in collusion with Elfangna, who is now collecting money for the big Han outside the Saiwai.

It is said that now the two of them are in Hebei and Saiwai, which is doing business and taking off a lot of wealth for Liu Xie....

But greed is his character, but not his ability, a rumor broke the tranquility of Chang'an, and in a short time, Yuan Shao could deal with Gongsun Chan in the rear with peace of mind.

Of course, at this time in the Chang'an Imperial Court, Zhao Yan, who was old and serious, was also leisurely listening to the news reported to him by Zhang Ji and others at this time.

Zhao Yan, who was still worried about how to perform this scene, became excited because of Xu You's horizontal insertion.

I really didn't expect it, this way to send it to the door came, so after discussing it with Zhang Ji, he indulged this matter without thinking about it.

then took advantage of the situation to "turn face" with Liu Bei.

As for whether the rumors really affected them?

If Liu Xie is in Chang'an, it is called three people becoming tigers.

Now that Liu Xie is next to Liu Bei, and Xu Huang and Ma Chao are in charge of the army for him, is it possible that this court can still suspect that his majesty will betray this year?

Still unreasonable?

"This news is still not strong enough... continued to release the news, and said that His Majesty smashed the table in his palace in a fit of rage.

It just so happens that the harvest in Guanzhong in the past two years is okay, smash those rotten tables and ornaments or something, and then exchange some new ones to give to the queen of the harem.

This is also in line with His Majesty's youthful and vigorous appearance..."

"Hahahaha..." Zhang Ji and Guan Yu also immediately laughed when they heard it, and then nodded and did it.

At the same time, Guan Yu also directly took out a few battle reports.

"Recently, there has been some instability in the handover between this desolate land and Hedong and the state, but most of us have calmed down.

Ma Teng has also settled down there, so there is no need to worry too much.

There are a few thieves left, Guan has pacified most of them, and the generals under his command, Ma Wan and Li Kan, have been quite brave in fighting with the army during this time..."

"Hmm... So rewarded! At this time, Zhao Yan also nodded hurriedly after receiving the battle report, "I will reward him with the captain, and add some money and silk."

Later, I will let Tai Chong go to announce the decree! ”

"Thank you Lingjun at the end, thank Your Majesty!" Although Guan Yu withdrew from Hedong and returned to Tongguan.

But because of the Battle of Hedong, he also left a lot of reputation in Hedong, and in the end, he chose to return to his hometown and recognize his wife and son, who were no longer able to have children.

This reputation is also much greater, causing many Hedong heroes to rush to it.

After all, from a wanted fugitive all the way to the current commander of the army, this reputation is nothing more than this in the eyes of many people, but in the eyes of those heroes who are ready to fall into the grass, or are preparing to fall into the grass.

This is the idol ....

At this time, Li Kan, a person from Hedong, took the initiative to defect to the two of them, and each brought hundreds of warriors, and now he is a general under his command of Guan Yu.

This time, Guan Yu took the initiative to return to Chang'an, in addition to explaining his current situation and reassuring Chang'an, he also asked for credit for them.

And Zhang Ji and Zhao Yan naturally met Guan Yu's conditions as much as possible to ensure the relationship between the two parties.

After all, now Guan Yu is the general they rely on the most.

Zhang Fei on the other side can be regarded as stable, Gao Gan, Zhang Yan and Zhang Sheng are indeed constantly provocative.

But Zhang Fei is brave, although he is not a qualified guard, and now he is not a commander because of his personality, but his bravery is needless to say.

Under Du Qi's hands, he cooperated with Jia Kui very tacitly, with Jia Kui to guard the border, and Zhang Feilai to roam around, so that they could not find a gap to ensure the stability of Hedong.

In this regard, Zhao Yan also rewarded him in the name of the imperial court... and officially dropped Wei Chong from Hedong County to Feng Yi County as the county guard.

Defend Kei Pass with a solid guard to prevent the Cao army in Hanoi County.

Everything is going very well, so all that remains is the reaction of this Jingzhou...

"Rumors began to spread in the Jiangxia area of Nanyang, saying... Your Majesty wants to murder the general! ”

At this time, in a body of water that was about to arrive in Jiangxia, Liu Bei's warship suddenly stopped, and the general Xue Zhou also walked in with a few people, and whispered to Liu Bei.

There was a slight gloom in the words, and there was even a touch of sadness and sadness in that look...

If Liu Xie sees it, he will definitely say that this guy is very good at acting!

And Liu Bei couldn't help but sneer in his heart at this time, who else could spread gossip in Jiangxia and Nanyang at this time?

"Let's all go back!" Liu Bei waved his hand directly at the guards and others beside him at this time, leaving only Xue Zhou and Chen Gong by his side.

"General... How are you going to do it? At this time, Chen Gong suddenly stood up, and looked at Liu Bei in front of him with a somewhat strange look, "The attitude of the imperial court now..."

Chen Gong, like Wei Yue and the others, did not know Liu Xie's identity, and even he had not met Liu Xie, but he only knew that there was a young man in Liu Bei's army whose status was not below Liu Bei.

Therefore, he has always been cautious in his words and deeds in the military camp, but now there are only him, Liu Bei and Xue Zhou, so it is much more natural to speak.

It could even be said that ... A lot more presumptuous.

Liu Bei looked at Chen Gong in front of him, with a few different meanings in his eyes, and did not answer immediately, but threw the question back.

"What should the public station think it should be?"

After hearing Liu Bei's rhetorical question, Chen Gong was silent for a while, and then slowly spoke, "General Liu should return to Chang'an!" ”

"Return to Chang'an?" Liu Bei, who heard this answer, was indeed a little dumbfounded, "Why is it to return to Chang'an, now this rumor is spreading..."

"I think the general himself knows that this is just a rumor.

His Majesty in Chang'an really wanted the general to lead his troops back to Chang'an quickly, but he didn't make too harsh requests, which was one of them.

Second, even though His Majesty is still a little young, he is still a wise king in the final analysis, and he is assisted by many virtuous ministers around him.

Moreover, many of the people in the court are old subordinates under the general, even if they really have some doubts about the general, the two generals Guan Zhang, as well as Jian Yong and Luzhu and others, will not sit idly by.

Therefore, the general has not received any news from them when he has arrived, but he does not have to worry about any changes in Chang'an...

The most important thing is the third, although there are more than 10,000 elite soldiers and horses under the command of this general, and even migrating people, there is no place to stand, and... Most of the generals under his command are imperial generals.

Once there is really some disagreement, the two generals Gongming and Meng Qi may not agree. ”

Chen Gong's words were reasonable, and it also made Liu Bei nod slightly, there is no problem with the analysis of this situation, and it is not much different from Jia Xu's original analysis.

Of course... Jia Xu is for Liu Xie's analysis, and Chen Gong... More for yourself.

To put it bluntly, Liu Bei knew very well that Chen Gong had said so much, and the root of it was a sentence!

He doesn't look down on himself!

Chen Gong's ability is needless to say, he has already proven his ability, and the person who can prove his wrist wrestling with Cao Mengde is definitely not inferior in ability.

But Chen Gong's shortcomings are also very obvious, he even looks down on Lu Bu, let alone Liu Bei.

Although Liu Bei saved him, Liu Bei had no foundation after all, and everything he had now had actually become dependent on Liu Xie.

He is a member of the Han family recognized by Liu Xie, although it has not yet been announced, but he can now call himself a member of the Han family and the court has not refuted it, which means that it is true!

He represents the imperial court because Liu Xie gave him a scepter and a talisman.

Liu Bei's own ability and perseverance, coupled with Liu Xie's nominal background for him, created Liu Xuande, who had a rising trend in Huainan.

If Liu Bei turned his back on the imperial court, then his nominal heritage would be withdrawn in an instant, and even some of the power he had accumulated would be taken away.

In that case, in the eyes of Chen Gong, he Liu Bei may not really be a good person.

Therefore, the purpose of success has always been very simple, with the help of Liu Bei as a springboard, and then successfully enter the land of Chang'an to become His Majesty's confidant.

As long as I assist His Majesty... You can once again fulfill the grand wish in your heart, and let Cao Mengde pay the price for his recklessness and ignorance back then!

Looking at Chen Gong, whose face was calm and did not reveal any superfluous thoughts, Liu Bei's heart couldn't help but sigh silently again.

This attitude... He's been through so much over the years.

"That's it... In that case, then we should..."

"Report!" Just when Liu Bei was thinking about how he should solve this matter, without being discovered by Chen Gong, he asked Chen Gong to help him gain a temporary foothold in Nanyang.

The voice that had been lost for a long time reappeared.

Sure enough, this time it was Chang'an's second wave of calculations - Jian Yong risked his death to report the news!

Just when Liu Bei stayed outside Jiangxia County and was "at a loss", the prepared Jian Yong was under the advice of Zhao Yan and Zhang Ji, and under the indifference of Guan Yu.

escaped directly from Guanzhong, and then escaped into Jingzhou, and happened to be rescued by the people of Jingzhou and brought him to Liu Bei.

And there is only one reason why he tosses himself so much.

"Xuande... You must not turn back to Chang'an, that is for Your Majesty... He's going to put you under house arrest for the rest of your life! ”

A sad wail with a bit of grief, this guy can act better than Xue Zhou!
