Chapter 99 The decree arrives

Xuzhou.

Standing on the top of the city wall, Liu Bei listened to the report of the sentinel behind him with a serious expression on his face.

Cao Cao actually fought with Yuan Shao. In Yuan Shao's territory, he beat his soldiers back to the city. After paying such a price, he wanted to "rescue" His Majesty.

What about Qin Lang and Zhao Yun?
There will definitely be a head-on conflict with Cao Cao!

It's been a few days since there's been any news, how can I, the big brother, rest assured.

Who would have thought that the emperor could escape to Luoyang, and a group of people chased him to Luoyang.

Now there are not many soldiers and horses in Xuzhou City, and they are not well-equipped, and the defense of the city is somewhat insufficient, and they dare not go out to rescue rashly.

What's more, the news is unknown, and Lu Bu is stationed in Xiaopei. Although the two sides are an alliance, they are also eyeing each other and have to guard against it.

As for the two brothers, one will only look up at the sky at 45 degrees...

The other only drinks and fights every day...

Leading the army is a good player, but I really can't share my worries.

My heart is so tired...

All of a sudden, a team of dozens of people appeared in sight, and they were still holding the banner of the royal family.

"That is, the emperor's team?!"

Liu Bei hurriedly sent someone to check, and when the sentry came back, they brought an imperial edict.

The envoy said that the emperor had arrived in Yanzhou safely, and under the protection of Cao Cao, he began to govern and deal with state affairs.

This first edict was sent to Xuzhou.

Liu Bei personally opened the city gate and led the upper-class nobles of Xuzhou City to respectfully welcome the imperial edict.

"Your Majesty has an order to seal Liu Bei as Xuzhou Shepherd, to unify Xuzhou's military and political power, and to protect the country for me!"

At this time, there was no promise of heaven, and the emperor said that the content of the imperial decree was similar to the usual words.

Liu Bei knelt on the ground excitedly, crying bitterly, "It's so sad, I, Liu Xuande, have received the favor of the emperor, and when Dong Zhuo was in chaos, I wish I could die. Your Majesty, I... am ashamed to accept it!"

The eunuch who delivered the decree was really someone close to Liu Xie, who had also witnessed Liu Xie's humiliation over the years.

This time he came out to announce the decree, but he didn't know that Liu Xie had been rescued by Qin Lang.

Those things happened after he left the city with the imperial decree, and now he still thinks that Liu Xie is still under Cao Cao's control.

So, more empathy.

This Liu Bei is definitely a member of the royal family. Those who say that Liu Bei's identity is unknown are all gossip.

Otherwise, who would cry so badly because of other people's family affairs?
The point is, if there is no deep love, can you cry?

Loyal minister!

He is definitely a member of the royal family who is loyal to the Han Dynasty, and Liu Bei is a member of the royal family!

This person has not been personally approved by His Majesty, and when he returns to Yanzhou, he must say something good about him in front of His Majesty.

"Master Liu's heart can represent the sun and the moon, you should accept the imperial decree, and you can't let everyone wait in front of the city!"

"What the envoy said is that the memo is over, please go to the city to rest."

Liu Bei took the imperial edict and moved away again.

At this moment, I just feel refreshed and exhilarated.

With the canonization of the imperial decree, it is justified, no matter who it is in the future, there is no way to make trouble in this matter.

It was simply a matter of great concern to him.

But there is also something suspicious about this matter. Did Cao Mengde really hand over power to the emperor?This is not his character!
But if the power is not handed over, but the emperor is coerced to order the princes, what about this imperial decree?
Or is it that Cao Cao wants to be an ally with me?
You have to be careful about this, otherwise you will die.

After all, that old boy Cao Cao is too insidious. There is no news about Guanren and Zilong yet!

The old eunuch was followed by dozens of soldiers and generals watching over him, so he didn't dare to say a word along the way.

When they arrived at the city lord's mansion, Liu Bei held a banquet for them. After the banquet, the old eunuch came up with the secret decree to crusade against Yuan Shu.

"Then Yuan Shu had the intention of treason, and ordered Liu Bei to launch an army crusade!"

As soon as Liu Bei saw the imperial decree, his heart was more than half cold, this is a pit!
Now everything has been explained, no wonder I was canonized as Xuzhou Mu, so I was waiting here.

Look, there are bloody fingerprints on it. It seems that the emperor has fallen into the hands of Cao Mengde.

The big traitor!
"Liu Gong, why didn't you accept the imperial edict?"

"Ah..." Liu Bei pretended to be enlightened, and said: "Don't blame the envoy, Bei is still grateful for the kindness of the emperor, since this is what His Majesty meant, Bei..."

"How are you?"

"Bei Wei only accepts the order to eliminate a traitor for His Majesty!"

Liu Bei gritted his teeth. He didn't know whether he was talking about Yuan Shu or Cao Cao.

But now it's hard to get off the tiger, and just received Xuzhou Mu's decree, why don't you obey the second imperial decree?

If this is the case, then Cao Cao will have another excuse to lead troops to attack Xuzhou.

And with the imperial decree, he came to ask for Xuzhou openly.

This old eunuch is also quite deceitful, why can't you wink at me?
It's good now, I was directly forced to the edge of the cliff, and you kept asking me, could this old eunuch also belong to Cao Mengde?

That was blind. I cried so heartbroken at the gate of the city.

"May I ask when Liu Gong will send troops?"

"Why do you still ask?"

Liu Bei only felt that the teeth were hurting, which was not giving people a way to survive.

Yuan Shu has an army of 60 and is Yuan Shao's brother. Even if I go to fight him, I have to plan carefully.

How many troops does Xuzhou City have?

How many of these soldiers and horses are still under the control of the rich and powerful in the city?

My old background, those thousands of cavalry, are still alive or dead!

Cao Cao, there is not much hatred between us, why are you cheating me so much?

What the hell, I'm done with you!

"What does Liu Gong mean by this, I have to go back and report to His Majesty!" The old eunuch looked innocent.

It's not that I don't want to ask, but I was forced to ask this question before I came here.

We have to go back to serve the emperor, and we don't want to die so early.

The eunuch is disabled, but the eunuch also wants to live, there is nothing wrong with that.

"Brother, this matter needs to be discussed in the long term!" Guan Yu said.

Zhang Fei poked his neck: "Second brother, Zilong and the officials went out to play, we finally managed to charge and kill on the battlefield, what's the long-term plan? Let me tell you, let's lead the troops out tomorrow and let me stab Yuan Shu. Boy, 1 holes!"

"Yide, shut up!" Guan Yu shouted angrily.

"Second brother, why are you reprimanding me in front of others? That old boy Yuan Shu was not a good guy. He didn't mention our military exploits and rewards, and even taunted him all the way. If you want me to say, there is no imperial decree, we should all Go fuck that bastard!"

"Since Liu Gong promised to send troops immediately, then we can go back and return!"

The old eunuch stood up with a relaxed expression.

This Liu Bei is really loyal, and he is meticulous in implementing the requirements of the imperial decree.

Although this is an imperial edict that was forced to be written, it is still an imperial edict!
"Huh? Huh?"

Liu Bei was a little confused, "Who the hell said the troops will be dispatched immediately? Who the hell said that?"
