Summoning the best emperor of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 202 Queen He Xuan
When Liu Xie and the others returned to Luoyang, Yuan Shao and other princes also went out of the city to greet them when they received the news of their return to the army, but most of the princes wanted to see their jokes.

Yuan Shao looked worried, and asked with concern: "I don't know if Your Highness and a few of you went to chase Dong thief, did you kill the chief villain, or did you punish the rebel?"

Liu Xie beat his chest and stamped his feet, sighed heavily, and said: "Ah, Thief Dong has been prepared for a long time. He ordered Lv Bu and Zhang Xiu to lead the army in ambush. We waited for the enemy to rush forward, but we lost some troops. Although we robbed some food and grass, we really did It’s not worth it.”

Cao Cao and others laughed secretly in their hearts after hearing this. Their pursuit not only won the hearts of the people in the world who were loyal to the Han Dynasty, but also stole countless treasures. Compared with the princes celebrating their achievements here, they made thousands of times more. , Yuan Shao and others who were kept in the dark were still laughing at them. They really didn't know who was the ridiculous person.

"Your Highness, don't be too sad, victory or defeat is a common matter in military affairs, and you can't force it." Yuan Shao smiled, and then stretched out his hand to ask the princes to enter the camp together to discuss the important things to come.

"Now Dong thief is retreating to Chang'an, relying on natural dangers to protect himself, but our coalition army is seriously depleted of food and grass, and we can't last long. Whether to go or stay, everyone should make up their minds now." Yuan Shao should be with him The counselors under his command had discussed it, and they didn't shy away from it at the moment, directly throwing out such a sensitive issue.

"It is said that a country cannot live without a king for a day. All of you here are important officials of the Han Dynasty. While everyone is here, we should probably elect a member of the royal family to ascend the throne as emperor." The person who spoke was Qingzhou Governor Tian Kai. He finally I have always been very low-key when I joined the coalition. I didn't expect that I would suddenly say such difficult or even taboo words today.

"In today's world, if you want to be elected emperor, who else can take on this great task except the young and promising King Chen Liu." Kong Rong, the prefect of Beihai in Qingzhou, immediately followed up.

Liu Xie felt like sitting on pins and needles when he heard that, the two old boys had no good intentions, it was clear that it was an agreement, and this was deliberately to put him on the fire.One of these two people was a veteran of the Han Dynasty, and the other was a descendant of Confucius Sheng. Liu Xie had never provoked them before, so how could they suddenly join together to plot against him.

The other princes also felt that the atmosphere was not right, and they did not dare to speak easily.

The situation that the princes hope to see is either a puppet emperor with a name but no power, or no emperor at all.Liu Xie holds a state in his hands. If the princes really want to enshrine him as the emperor, it is tantamount to cutting off their own ambitions, and it will definitely intensify the conflict between the two sides.current
What is bad about the big man is not just Dong Zhuo's cancer, but the fact that everything inside and outside, including the skeleton, is completely rotten. It is impossible to rebuild without a thorough push.

Fortunately, Liu Xie had a countermeasure early on, so he stood up and said calmly: "You two have acted too hastily, why bother to be alone in a situation of infidelity and injustice? How can a lonely warrior be worth a thousand gold? How about governing the rise and fall of the world? Since Gu has been crowned king, he is a minister, so how dare he do such a rebellious and unreasonable thing? Besides, the blood of the Han Dynasty, except Gu, is highly respected by Liu Yu, governor of Youzhou, and wise and talented. Liu Biao, the governor of Jingzhou, Liu Yan, the governor of Yizhou who is good at governing and governing. There are so many talents, how can the younger generation compete with the sages? What's more, although the emperor's brother was killed by Dong thief, he may not have no heirs left behind. The two are afraid It's overthinking."

"What do you mean by this, Your Highness?" After hearing this secret, the other princes could not sit still and quickly stood up and asked.

"General Cao should also be aware of this matter." Liu Xie looked at Cao Cao, who had been watching the show, and simply pulled him out to get involved in the muddy water.

Cao Cao smiled bitterly, knowing what Liu Xie was up to.But he didn't want Liu Xie to ascend the throne, because Liu Xie made him unable to see through.

"After the young emperor ascended the throne, he adopted He Xuan, the daughter of the great general He Jin, as his queen. Although the young emperor was only thirteen years old, he thought that the Dong thief would look around and fear that the blood of the Han Dynasty would not be able to continue, so...so let Xuan The queen is pregnant with a dragon species. It’s just that it’s still unknown whether the fetus is a boy or a girl, and it should be known in about three or four months.” Cao Cao served as a lieutenant of the Dian Army and often went in and out of the palace, so this news is not as good as theirs. The local officials should be clearer.

"Where is Queen Xuan now?" Yuan Shao asked impatiently.

Cao Cao shook his head and sighed, "I don't know either. I ran away in despair after I failed to assassinate Dong. Now that half a year has passed, how can I know everything. But I guess if Queen Xuan had not been persecuted by Dong's thief If so, most likely Dong Zhuo hijacked him and entered Chang'an now."

"Very few people know about this matter. His Highness should not have been in Luoyang when Empress Xuan was pregnant. I'm a little curious about how His Highness knew?" Cao Cao asked instead.

"Gu came earlier than you all. I met a concubine of my father's life in the palace. She told me." Liu Xie didn't lie, it was indeed the concubine who gave him the jade seal told him.

"According to what Meng De said, if Empress Xuan is really trapped by Dong Zhuo, the matter will be discussed in three or four months, and it will not be too late for us to discuss the matter of the monarch. Now Luoyang is desolate, and the army is short of food and grass. You can't stay for long. In my opinion, I'd better retire first, and discuss it after Empress Xuan gave birth." Yuan Shao said slowly.He didn't care that much about whether Queen Xuan was pregnant or not. What he wanted was to maintain the current situation where everyone was relatively equal and chaotic.

"Exactly, we forced Dong Thief to retreat to Chang'an, and we have lived up to our original intention to seek Dong's alliance. I would like to thank you for your righteous deeds on behalf of the Han family. It's just that there are still some things to deal with in Gu Yanzhou, and I'm afraid we have to take a step forward." Liu After Xie finished speaking calmly, he pretended to casually look at Tian Kai and Kong Rong. He has always been a person who has revenge.

"The barbarians are rampant recently, and Gongsun Zan will withdraw his troops first. Please take care of yourself."

"Jiangdong Shanyue rebelled, and Sun Jian wanted to rush back to put down the rebellion, so let's go."

Then, the princes from all walks of life stated their reasons for withdrawing their troops, and they didn't know whether it was true or not, so they all said goodbye.After fighting for so long, they have long wanted to return to their own territory to enjoy happiness or develop, and they don't want to waste time, money and food here.

Once upon a time, the alliance against Dong Zhuo, which could barely work together in the face of Dong Zhuo, was declared to have completely disintegrated overnight.

Yuan Shao was a bit dissatisfied, he had only been the leader for a short time, although it was only in name, it was enough for him to satisfy his vanity.

At present, the princes from all walks of life left in sevens and eighties, and the camp was empty, only Yuan Shao, Hanoi prefect Wang Kuang and Cao Cao were left.

Yuan Shao watched the princes leave, and finally said: "Meng De, I also want to go back to Bohai."

"Ben Chu's road is smooth. Luoyang is the capital of the empire, so no one should be stationed. I am one of the eight captains of Xiyuan, and I don't manage a side like Ben Chu, so I just stay in Luoyang temporarily. When the princes meet again, Luoyang will also It can provide a place for everyone to settle down and discuss matters.”

"In this way, there will be Lao Mengde." How could Yuan Shao not know that Cao Cao had nowhere to go, and he had his eyes on Luoyang and even the entire land of Sili.But he didn't care, Luoyang was dilapidated, and Sili was far away from Bohai Sea, so he wasn't interested at all.

But Wang Kuang now completely depends on Yuan Shao's whims. Once Yuan Shao left, he also left with him, almost as if he had already taken refuge in Yuan Shao.

The news of the withdrawal of the princes and the disintegration of the Dong alliance soon spread to Chang'an.Dong Zhuo and the civil servants under his command were very happy when they heard this. Although they suffered heavy losses in this battle with the coalition forces, Dong Zhuo is still the most powerful prince in the world. They only need to stick to Chang'an according to the Wei letter, and they can watch the battles between the princes of the world. And enjoy the benefits of the fisherman.

Li Ru not only stretched his brows, although sending away a Jia Xu today reminded him of the scene of being humiliated by Liu Xie in the palace that day, but now he looks more like a winner.

What's more, he still holds an absolute trump card in his hand to restrict Liu Xie's further progress, and that is--Queen He Xuan!
