Summoning the best emperor of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 158 Arriving at Yingchuan
Three days later, Liu Xie entrusted Yanzhou to Song Lian, Cai Yong and others. He personally led a strong army and went south from Chenliu to Yingchuan, Yuzhou.After several days of trekking and marching, Liu Xie finally arrived in Yingchuan County as he wished.

Kong Ni, the governor of Yuzhou, had already made preparations. He had already selected places for the rebels to set up camp, and even provided some food and supplies for training.

Liu Xie has a distinguished status and is the only orthodox royal bloodline in the Han Dynasty. Naturally, Kong Min did not dare to neglect and personally led the left and right out of the camp to welcome the arrival of Liu Xie's army.

From a distance, Liu Xie saw a large camp in front of him, and it was not crowded at the moment, presumably he was so close and came early, other princes from all walks of life hadn't arrived yet.

Outside the camp, there was an old man with white hair and official clothes, who was waiting with a large group of people. This man was Kong Ni. When he saw the black-faced and red-edged Yanzhou Army Flag and the Liu Zishuai Flag, he was shocked. , Immediately rushed up and saluted respectfully: "The old minister Kong Ni has seen His Highness Chen Liuwang, His Highness is a thousand years old!"

When he knelt down like this, the people behind followed suit and knelt down, also shouting "His Royal Highness Chitose" loudly.

Liu Xie was a little surprised that Kong Ni still had some hopes and illusions about the Han Dynasty. I really don't know whether to praise him for his loyalty or call him foolish and foolish.

Liu Xie hurriedly got off his horse, and like a virtuous and approachable king, he personally stepped forward to help him up, saying: "Why should the governor of Kong do such a great ceremony? The governor is a loyal and loyal man, seeing him today, he really deserves his reputation. Now that the feudal lords are meeting in Yuzhou, there are many troubles and troubles, and I ask the governor Kong to do his best."

A few turbid tears flowed from Kong Ni's eyes, and while wiping with his sleeve, he lamented: "Dong Zhuo killed the emperor and brought disaster to the common people. Don't think about ways to serve the country? Yuzhou's military situation is not booming, and now it can provide rest and supplies for the rebels from all walks of life, how dare Kong Ni not do his best?"

"Okay, Kong Cishi is worthy of being the minister of the humerus of the great man. He should be a model for all the ministers and an example for all the people." Liu Xie praised and stopped talking. Under the leadership of Kong Ni, he picked a suitable camp nearby.

This camp is neither in the center nor outside the camp. It is just right, not sharp or insignificant.

This was discussed with Yu Yunwen before Liu Xie came. He has the most special status among the vassals.But you can't look too cowardly away from the center, lose your identity and be squeezed by others.

Not only that, but this time he does not intend to participate in the fight for the position of the leader of the coalition forces.This time, most of the appeals against Dong will return in vain. This lord is actually a chicken rib, which sounds nice, but in fact it is just that.Whether others are willing to listen to your command is really not certain.Moreover, being in the center of the storm will not only provoke Dong Zhuo's hatred, but also easily cause conflicts with other princes in command and dispatch, which is purely a thankless title.

Kong Ni naturally disagreed with Liu Xie's selection of such an impartial and unbiased position. He repeatedly persuaded him and insisted on leaving the middle camp to Liu Xie to show off his position, but he couldn't bear Liu Xie's reluctance, so he had to do it for him. Prepare more food and supplies to express your gratitude.

"If you have an advantage, don't take advantage of the bastard. If you don't accept it yourself, you will give it to other princes." Although Liu Xie had sufficient food and grass, he did not refuse at all, and immediately accepted Kong Ni's kind gift.

When the Yanzhou army settled down, Liu Xie gathered all the civil and military personnel around him, and asked Han Tuozhou, who was in charge of intelligence investigation, "Jie Fu, what is the situation of the various princes now?"

"Reporting to Your Highness, the princes from all walks of life are now on their way. Han Fu, the governor of Jizhou, Yuan Shao, the governor of Bohai, etc., are either passing through Qingxu Prefecture, or heading south from Chaoge to Yingchuan; Tao Qian, the governor of Xuzhou, and Yuan Shu, the later general , Sun Jian, the governor of Changsha, and others are marching west and north, and I believe they can all arrive within a month. At present, apart from our Yanzhou Army, the only people who have come to Yingchuan are the local Yuzhou governor Kong Nian and these people. The initiator of the second alliance was Cao Cao, the captain of the Dian Army."

"Oh? Where is Cao Cao now? Why can't he and the army be seen?" Liu Xie was a little puzzled. He thought Cao Cao was still in Peiguo, but he didn't expect that he had already come to Yingchuan. This kid didn't come to see him, no It seems that he is cautious and sophisticated, and he doesn't leave any words behind?
"According to Kong Shishi, Cao Cao has already led his troops to Henan to prevent Dong Zhuo's army from raiding Yingchuan and ensure that the alliance will be held as promised. Therefore, Cao Cao was not among the people who greeted His Highness earlier, and there is no camp for his army here."

Would Cao Cao really lead his army to Henan to serve the princes so kindly?Liu Xie didn't quite believe it. Ever since he knew that the Wei family had an inexplicable relationship with Cao Cao, he never believed that Cao Cao would be loyal to the Han family. The image of embarking on the road to hegemony.Most of his actions are to restrain people's popularity.After all, in this way, he became the only one who took the initiative to lead troops to resist Dong Zhuo before the alliance.

Liu Xie felt that this was the most appropriate word to describe Cao Cao.

"According to what you said, we are still too early. I'm afraid we will wait here for a few days. Since there is nothing serious, I plan to go out for a few days. I heard that Yingchuan has outstanding people and beautiful scenery. I have long thought about it." Have a look." Liu Xie would not have the leisure to enjoy the scenery of Yingchuan, he wanted to take the opportunity to leave for Yingchuan Academy in Yingyin to recruit talents, otherwise he would not have led his troops here so actively.

"Don't worry, I will bring two generals, Dian Wei and Xu Chu, on this trip. With their guards, you should feel at ease."

When Liu Xie saw that Su Lie and Yu Yunwen wanted to speak out to persuade them, he quickly added.

"Your Highness, if His Highness really wants to relax and travel, of course we will not dare to stop him. However, Yingchuan is not as good as Yanzhou, and now it is such an important opportunity. His Highness needs to bring more guards to ensure everything is safe." Yu Yunwen still didn't want to stop him. Don't worry, Liu Xie is the foundation of Yanzhou. Once something happens to him, Yanzhou will collapse instantly and the world will be in chaos.Although he knew that Liu Xie might not be able to listen, he still forced himself to speak.

"In this way, Gu will bring ten more flying tigers, you should feel at ease now." Liu Xie was a little helpless, but he also knew that Yu Yunwen was doing it for his own good, so he complied.

"Your Highness still needs to go and return early, so as not to miss a big deal." Yu Yunwen's words obviously meant that he no longer objected.

"Well, you keep the news of Gu's departure strictly confidential. If Kong Ni asks to see him, he will presume that Gu is suffering from a cold and won't meet anyone for the time being."

"Here."
