Summoning the best emperor of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 223 Reaction of the Parties
"Everyone, take a look at this so-called imperial decree. Should I accept it or not?" After seeing the angel Dong Zhuo sent to proclaim the decree, Liu Xie took Guo Jia, Xun Yu, and Jia Xu, who were still in Chenliu, three Everyone is summoned to discuss matters together.

The three of them had already heard about the fact that Empress Xuan gave birth to Liu Ping, the young emperor's son. Now that they had heard what Liu Xie said, they gathered together to pass on the imperial decree to each other.

Xun Yu first said: "It's hard to tell the truth about Empress Xuan's birth, but the princes of the world will definitely choose to believe it tacitly. Emperor Ping is still in his infancy. It is equal to nothing. Dong Zhuo is still in control of the government. And this , I am afraid it is also the scene that the princes of the world want to see the most. If there is no Emperor Ping, the lord is the one who has the best chance of ascending to this supreme position. This is what the princes are most afraid of seeing. But again, this is not our What Yanzhou needs. The current Han Dynasty needs an emperor, but it cannot be a talented emperor like His Highness who holds a state in his hands."

"What Wen Ruo said is very true. Emperor Ping is a foregone conclusion. We, Yanzhou, cannot change it alone. Besides, we have no reason to change it. This edict added the title of Lord Wu, and the governor of Yanzhou and Qingzhou to the military. My lord, you gave us a legitimate excuse to capture Qingzhou. Knowing the movements of our Yanzhou army so well, this must be Li Ru's plan." Guo Jia also said.

"When you say this, don't you mean that this imperial decree is beneficial and harmless to me, so I should accept it?" Liu Xie asked.

"Otherwise, although the imperial decree must be accepted, it cannot be taken so hastily." Jia Xu, who had been silent for a long time, slowly opened his eyes and said slowly.

"Huh? What's Wen He's opinion?" Liu Xie was a little surprised that Jia Xu would take the initiative to speak. This time he was called here by the way, and he didn't expect him to give advice. I don't want him to start offering advice now. good trend.

Jia Xu's eyes lit up, as if he knew what Liu Xie was thinking, smiled lightly, and said: "What the imperial decree says is indeed beneficial to Yanzhou. But if my lord accepts the decree hastily, I'm afraid my reputation will be ruined." , it is easier to be targeted by the princes of the world."

Guo Jia and Xunyu also nodded slightly when they heard the words, obviously they also knew what Jia Xu was pointing at.

"Every prince from all walks of life knows that this imperial decree is passed down by Emperor Ping, but it is actually Dong Zhuo's order. My lord can accept the imperial decree of Emperor Ping, but I can't compromise my identity by following Dong Zhuo's order. Therefore, my lord can borrow the imperial decree on my behalf. At the same time, send a mission to Chang'an to thank Emperor Ping, and let the people all over the world know that the lord received the order because of Emperor Ping. Moreover, the lord can't be the first to receive the order, and he has to wait until the other princes take the order and become the first bird. The purpose, so that people can keep their mouths open." Jia Xu spoke word by word, and immediately cleared up the confused Liu Xie.

"I didn't expect that Li Ru had so many evil thoughts hidden in this imperial edict. If it weren't for Wen He's guidance, I would have been harmed by him." Liu Xie also knew that even if Jia Xu didn't tell Guo Jiaxun, I can definitely see it and tell myself.

But Jia Xu made such a big change with great difficulty, and he will not be stingy with words of praise.

"Not only that, I'm afraid the imperial edicts of other princes also have a lot to say. Most of Li Ru used edicts to exchange the titles of the princes' territories, so as to make the princes attack each other. This is a conspiracy, and there are many capable people in the princes who can see this. A little bit, but they will not let go of their own territory, and at the same time, they will be very greedy to conquer and expand the territory according to the imperial decree."

Jia Xu didn't know what was wrong, but she couldn't stop talking about it today, which surprised and delighted Liu Xie.He knew that as a military adviser, he finally recognized Yanzhou and began to offer advice and suggestions.

"All three of you sit down, let's talk slowly." Liu Xie smiled, in a good mood, and beckoned the three of them to sit in front of him and discuss in detail.

Sili, Luoyang.

In Cao Cao's army, the civil and military divisions line up on the left and right, and it seems that they are not inferior to Liu Xie's Yanzhou civil and military.Unknowingly, Cao Cao has developed a strong strength that no one in the world dare to underestimate.

"Li Ru is easy to calculate. Is he taking the emperor to order the princes? I admire his courage and demeanor to let a baby born less than a month old be the emperor!" Cao Cao also had an imperial decree in front of him, but he laughed loudly and did not Did not take this decree seriously.

"Li Ru's plan has always been tough and gentle, making it hard to guard against. For us, this imperial decree not only sealed the post of the lord as a former general, but also has the power to command the army, and even puts the entire land of Sili under the command of the lord. It seems to be all good, but if it is not done well, I am afraid it will be a hot potato." Cheng Yu, who had just joined Cao Cao not long ago, was deeply relied on by Cao Cao and ranked first among advisers, and he was the first to say it immediately.

"What Zhong De means is that there is a mystery hidden in the method of receiving the decree." Cao Cao stood up and threw the imperial decree high, then caught it firmly, and smiled at Cheng Yu.

"It seems that my lord has already expected it. I am too worried." Cheng Yu saw that Cao Cao understood everything and smiled slightly. He was secretly glad that he had not misjudged the person. Cao Cao accepted the civil and military orders and became the hegemon in the world. Who else?

Several imperial edicts issued by Dong Zhuo came out from Chang'an, and they swept the world in less than half a month, causing shock.

There are many resourceful people among the princes from all walks of life, such as Zhou Yu and Lu Su under Sun Jian's command, who can see at a glance that this is Li Ru's plan to sow discord.It's just that they can see through it, but Yuan Shu and Liu Biao may not be able to see through it.Even if Yuan Shu and Liu Biao can see through, they may not be willing to see through.

Liu Xie didn't care so much, and this imperial decree didn't have much influence on him.After discussing a proper countermeasure with Xun Yu and others, he didn't bother any more, but focused all his attention on the battlefield in Qingzhou.

Li Cunxiao's name had already been spread all over the world at the moment of defeating Lu Bu, even among the yellow turban thieves, there was no one with a little knowledge who didn't know him.

After the yellow turban bandit was defeated by Li Cunxiao and others in a row, no other army dared to confront him head-on.

And Xue Li, as Liu Xie expected, captured Le'an County first under the advice of Yu Yunwen and Xi Zhong.

However, after taking Le'an County, he also had to divide his troops to garrison Jinan and Le'an County, and formed a line with Su Lie and Tai Shici, who led the troops stationed in Changyi, to guard against Yuan Shao's southward advance.

Therefore, except for Li Cunxiao's [-] vanguard army, Xue Li has ordered Yu Jin and Lu Qian to lead [-] troops to garrison the two counties, and at the same time, he is responsible for recruiting the strong and strong prisoners for training to become the Qingzhou Army.

Now, Xue Li, Yu Yunwen and Xi Zhong led [-] soldiers. After joining Li Cunxiao's [-] soldiers, they headed non-stop towards Beihai, which was heavily surrounded by the main force of the Yellow Turban, Guan Hai.
