Summoning the best emperor of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 153
It is said that after Cao Cao failed to assassinate Dong and escaped from Luoyang, he was recognized by people in Zhongmou County and unfortunately was captured by mistake. However, he never thought that the county magistrate Chen Gong was loyal and admired Cao Cao's feat of assassination. After some chatting, they became confidantes and voluntarily relinquished his official position to follow Cao Cao.The two went south all the way and finally arrived at Peiguoqiao County, Yuzhou, Cao Cao's hometown.

After Cao Cao returned to Qiao County, he soon reunited with his brothers Xiahou Dun and Xiahou Yuan from the same clan. Soon, Cao brothers Cao Ren and Cao Hong each led more than a thousand troops to help him.At this time, Wei Hong, the original head of the Wei family in Xiangyi, finally came forward and spent all his family money to buy armor, flags and banners for Cao Cao's army. Not only that, Wei Hong also donated his servant Zhuang Ding to Cao Cao's army to help Cao Cao in a short time. Just pull out a well-trained army.

Cao Cao had his own soldiers and horses. He was not willing to wait passively, and was afraid that Dong Zhuo would send an army to destroy him. Therefore, at the suggestion of Chen Gong, he personally wrote a call to action and spread it to the counties, calling for an edict against Dong Jiao, saying:

Cao Cao and others would like to announce to the world with great righteousness: Dong Zhuo deceived the sky and the earth, destroyed the country and murdered the king;Today, according to the secret order of the emperor, a large gathering of volunteers vowed to wipe out China and wipe out the gangsters.Wang Xing volunteers to vent public anger; support the royal family and save the people.When the call to action arrives, it can be implemented quickly.

As soon as the false edict came out, the Han Dynasty was once again in turmoil, and all the princes in the world were shocked. More and more people knew that the Han Dynasty had really declined completely and no longer had the power of the Han Dynasty.

Now that Liu Xie occupies Yanzhou, he also received Cao Cao's appeal immediately. The matter is of great importance, and he dared not neglect it. He immediately called together all the civil and military officials to discuss major issues.

"You all must have known that Cao Cao, Lieutenant of the Dianjun, initiated a coercive edict, intending to summon the princes of the world to fight against the bandits Dong, avenge the young emperor and the queen mother, and rejuvenate the great man. I don't know what you think about this?"

Liu Xie sat in the upper position with an expressionless face. Except for Dian Wei and Pei Yuanshao who were still recuperating, all the civil servants and generals under his command were here.Civil and military are arranged on the left and right, full of people, all in one place, it looks like the master of a state.

To Liu Xie's surprise, Cai Yong, an old official, was the first to speak this time. Cai Yong was filled with righteous indignation and said emotionally: "Dong thief has monopolized power, bullied the king and harmed the people, and the world is gnashing its teeth. Your Highness is an orthodox Han Dynasty. As an example, lead the righteous soldiers of the world's princes, crusade against Dong Zhuo, eliminate the thieves and quell the chaos, rejuvenate the Han Dynasty, and stabilize the world!"

Cai Yong was loyal to the Emperor of the Han Dynasty wholeheartedly. He cried and passed out several times after learning that Dong Zhuo had killed the emperor. Liu Xie also visited the mansion in person to comfort him. He thought his emotions had faded, but he was always depressed.Now when I heard the news of Jiaozhao, I couldn't bear it immediately, and got up and asked Liu Xie to send troops to join the alliance.

"Master Cai, don't worry, Gu is of the blood of Liu Han. How can Dong Thief and other rebellious people be allowed to go unpunished. This time the coalition forces, Gu will never miss it!"

Whether the feudal lords are asking for Dong, whether it is to collect fame, see the heroes, or satisfy Cai Yong's thoughts, or even just to join in the fun, Liu Xie will definitely go.What he wants to discuss with the ministers now is about the selection of generals and the planning of this trip.

"According to the current situation collected by the Xuanjing Division, once Cao Cao's coercive edict was issued, countless princes from all over the world responded. Among them, Yuan Shao, the prefect of Bohai, and Wang Kuang, the prefect of Hanoi, stationed troops in Hanoi, and Zhang Yang, the prefect of Shangdang, also led thousands of people to seek refuge. Later general Yuan Shu stationed troops in Luyang, and Sun Jian, the prefect of Changsha, led the troops to join him; Yuzhou Governor Kong Ni stationed troops in Yingchuan; Jizhou Mu Hanfu stayed in Yecheng; Raise troops to attack Dong Zhuo." Xuan Jingsi is no longer a secret in Liu Xie's civil and military circles, and Liu Xie has no intention of continuing to hide it. For this meeting, he also sent someone to invite his head, Han Tuozhou, to provide information. .

"Although there are many responders, there may be few who work together. This alliance, the princes may have their own ghosts, and they may not be able to kill Dong thief as they wish. Your Highness should make plans early and don't expect too much." Yu Yunwen But he could see clearly, disregarding Cai Yong's glaring stare, he spoke slowly word by word.

Liu Xie said inwardly, Yu Yunwen never acted emotionally in his strategy and decisions, but saw the long-term most clearly, unlike Cai Yong and other veterans who were easily influenced by personal emotions, blinded their eyes, and placed high hopes on some illusory things.

"Right now, Yanzhou has been decided, the people are not yet attached, and the troops and generals under our command have not yet fully recovered. Now we not only have Chenliu County, but the entire Yanzhou must recover in the shortest possible time in order to live up to the reputation of this state. Benefit. I decided that I will not send a large army to this alliance meeting. I will lead the fierce generals and elite soldiers to go to the meeting in person." Liu Xie synthesized everyone's opinions and contacted the history of the feudal princes' fight against Dong and the current situation of Yanzhou. The actual situation was quickly determined.

"On the civil servant's side, in addition to Yu Yunwen accompanying him to advise and advise the military, Han Yuzhou, the head of the Xuanjing Division, will also go together to scout out information."

There is no need for Liu Xie to hesitate on the counselor's side. There are only four of them. Song Lian needs to stay to govern Yanzhou and recuperate. Although Cai Yong is a veteran of the Han Dynasty and has a high reputation, he has to fight all the way during this trip, and he has to make alliances. It is not suitable for an ambitious prince who intends to take him, a somewhat paranoid old man.

However, Liu Xie was very troubled by the military generals. He didn't have many generals under his command, but each of them was a first-class or even top-notch general in the world. It would not be good to lead anyone but not someone.

After pondering for a long time, Liu Xiecai continued: "This time the alliance, the princes gathered their forces, and besieging Dong Zhuo is no problem. What we really need to worry about is the safety of Yanzhou. Yanzhou is our foundation, so we must not lose anything."

"That's why, this time Gu only brought Xu Chu, Li Cunxiao and their [-] flying tigers, and Su Lie, Li Dian, and Yu Jin led [-] infantry, and set off together. The rest of the generals, to assist Song Gong, not only have to recruit soldiers and buy horses To train the new army, we must be more vigilant, and try our best to ensure that Yanzhou is free from internal and external troubles!"

"Here!" Everyone responded in unison. Those who were named by Liu Xie were naturally excited, and those who were not named, like Zhou Cang, Lu Qian and others, were a little frustrated, but they heard that Liu Xie entrusted them with the important task of guarding Yanzhou , They all cheered up again, not daring to omit or neglect.

After the discussion, Liu Xie asked them to go down and make preparations as soon as possible, and he took Xu Chu out of the prefect's mansion to visit Dian Wei who was still recovering from his injuries.

In this alliance of princes, heroes from all over the world gathered together, and the powerful generals from all sides faced each other. If a super strong general like Dian Wei could not go, it would definitely be a lifetime of regret for him.But now that he was injured, Liu Xie didn't dare to let him have any good or bad, so he could only come here in person, explain the situation to him and enlighten him.
