Three Kingdoms: Jiehu becomes stronger from the beginning of Taoyuan's three knots

Chapter 144
Cao Cao's words were very loud, which immediately attracted the attention of the surrounding ministers.

Yuan Shao also booed and said at this time.

"That's right, Liu Ziqing is so calm, you must have a plan!"

After hearing this, Yuan Shu quickly answered and continued.

"Yeah! Why don't you tell us what you think, so that we can feel at ease..."

Under the booing of these three people, more and more ministers noticed the situation here.

Wu Kuang squeezed through the crowd and walked over quickly, then looked at Liu Ce coldly and asked.

"Is there any good way to say it quickly, Dong Zhuo's army is less than a hundred miles away from Luoyang, and now there is no need to delay!"

When Liu Ce saw that Wu Kuang was coming, he spoke with the intention of giving him face.

"Before expressing my thoughts, I would like to ask you adults a few questions..."

Wang Yun, who is engaged in Zhonglang, also squeezed over at this time and said.

"If you have any questions, just ask the general..."

As soon as Wang Yun said this, all the ministers in the hall focused their attention on Liu Ce.

So Liu Ce looked at Wang Yun and the others with a smile on his face and asked.

"The first question, are you the loyal ministers of the great man, or the emperor's loyal ministers?"

Everyone was taken aback when they heard this, except Cao Cao's eyes flashed a gleam.

Wang Yun couldn't help but asked Liu Ce first.

"Is there any difference between being a loyal minister of the emperor and a loyal minister of a big man? The emperor is a big man, and a big man is the emperor..."

After he finished speaking, there was an echoing voice immediately.

After hearing this, Liu Ce quickly waved his hand and said.

"No, the emperor is the emperor, and the big man is the big man! Now is the time for everyone to make a choice..."

Everyone was still confused, but Yuan Shao finally reacted at this time.

Then, he pretended to be very angry and shouted at Liu Ce.

"You mean that if you choose a big man, you have to give up the emperor! How dare you have the rebellious idea of ​​setting up a new king! You really deserve to be killed! Come!"

As soon as Yuan Shao gave an order, more than a dozen Huben sergeants rushed in from outside the hall.

But at this time, Zhang Fei and Dian Wei roared angrily at the same time, and they beat more than a dozen soldiers to the ground.

Guan Yu and Zhao Yun stood behind Liu Ce, one on the left and the other on the right. They held the hilt of their sword tightly with both hands and waited for his order.

The officials in the hall were shocked when they saw this, but fortunately Wu Kuang stood up again and stabilized the situation.

"Stop it all! Now is the time for the army to speak freely and discuss big plans together. The army must not make any big moves, so as not to hurt the peace!"

After Wu Kuang said this, Wu Ban immediately roared at the soldiers of the Imperial Army.

"What are you still doing, get out!"

The soldiers immediately got up from the ground upon hearing the order, and then ran out of the hall supporting each other.

Liu Ce looked at Yuan Shao calmly, his eyes full of contempt and contempt.

"At an extraordinary time, we should do extraordinary things! It's not that I have any rebellious thoughts, but that the ministers have come to make a choice!"

"Early tomorrow morning, Dong Zhuo will bring the emperor and King Chenliu in grandly from the gate of Luoyang City. May I ask all the ministers, who dares to prevent Shengjia from returning to the palace? Yuan Benchu ​​is so powerful, then you must dare to risk the world for it ..."

Liu Ce said this without emotion, and Yuan Shao was so angry that his whole face turned green.

Seeing this, Cao Cao couldn't help but secretly smiled, and then hurried out to rescue Yuan Shao.

"General Liu, according to your words, should we be loyal to the big man or the emperor?"

Liu Ce was very angry after hearing Cao Cao's words.

This kid is really full of bad water!
He was rushing to cooperate with Yuan Shao to set him a trap!

These two guys won't let it go until they kill themselves.

However, how could I be harmed by you?
"Meng De, do you think it's appropriate for me, a small sheriff, to make a decision on such a shocking matter? Where do you put the three princes and nine ministers of the Manchu Dynasty in this way?"

Liu Ce made a beautiful counterattack with his backhand, which made Cao Cao lose his face on the spot.

"General Liu, you are the one who brought up the point of view, so we naturally have to ask you what you think first!"

Liu Ce glanced at Cao Cao and said with a contemptuous smile.

"If Meng De's comprehension ability is weak, I suggest you don't rush to ask, and listen to everyone first. After everyone finishes talking, maybe you will understand."

Cao Cao felt inexplicable after hearing this!
I didn't say I didn't understand, I just wanted you to express your thoughts.

But no matter what Cao Cao asked, Liu Ce ignored Cao Cao and turned to Wang Yun.

"Second question, do you ministers want to protect your reputation or protect the country?"

Cao Cao was simply ignored by Liu Ce...

The most ruthless counterattack against the enemy is to look down on him, ignore him, ignore him, and give him no face.

In ancient times when face was extremely important, this was basically the same effect as greeting the eighteenth generation of the other party's clan on the spot.

Cao Cao blushed and just wanted to go forward to reason with Liu Ce, but he immediately asked a new question.

"The third question, are you going to be the masters of the common people in the world, or the high-ranking officials of the Han court temple?"

Liu Ce's questions became more and more sharp, and the brows of the ministers who listened became more and more frowned.

However, Yuan Shao and Cao Cao, who first troubled Liu Ce, were pushed aside by other ministers.

Yuan Kai couldn't help but speak at this moment.

"General Liu, what do you mean by protecting your reputation or protecting your country?"

Seeing that it was Yuan Wei who was asking the question, Liu Ce quickly said with a smile.

"To protect your reputation, you must go with the trend, but to protect your country, you need to go against the current!"

Yuan Kai was taken aback when he heard this.

This Liu Ce seems to have said something, but after careful consideration, it seems that he didn't say anything.

The other ministers had similar ideas with Yuan Wei.

But if they ask them again, they are afraid that they will end up like Cao Cao just now.

But there are also some who rely on themselves as veterans and don't believe that Liu Ce dares to despise himself.

No, Taizhong doctor Yang Biao couldn't help but stand up and speak.

"General Liu, what do you mean by the lord of the people and the high official of the temple you just mentioned?"

Liu Ce saw that he was an old man, so he clasped his fists and saluted politely.

"Mencius once said that the king is the most important, the people are the foundation, and the country is the second. Therefore, everyone who occupies a high position should understand that thousands of people are like water, and the emperor and his ministers' temples are like boats. The water can carry the boat but also capsize it."

After saying this, Liu Ce smiled slightly at Yang Biao.

The other ministers immediately began to whisper after hearing this.

At this time, even Yuan Shao and Cao Cao, who were looking for trouble, began to look at Liu Ce with admiration.

Yang Biao turned his head and glanced at Yuan Kai, and then the two called together a group of veterans and started a small meeting to discuss.

A group of young people including Yuan Shao and Cao Cao also began to argue about the three issues raised by Liu Ce.

Liu Ce looked at the officials who were getting more and more lively, and couldn't help showing a playful look on his face.

"This group of people can't figure out anything serious every day! What time is it now, and they are still holding a meeting here!"

As he spoke, he turned his head to look at Yuan Shao and Cao Cao.

"These two people have ideas, but they don't have the courage to turn the tide now! I believe they can do it in ten years, but they are still too young..."

Liu Ce had just finished muttering these words when a voice suddenly sounded next to him.

"Then why are you, General?"
