Qinglong Three Kingdoms

Chapter 680

"Rectify your name? So what, please teach me, sir!"

Zhu Wei agreed with Zhang Hong's words. He also knew that he could not openly declare himself emperor like Yuan Shu, but he couldn't support a puppet emperor named Liu to fight against the emperor held hostage by Cao Cao.

"My lord, if the emperor issued an edict ordering the lord to clear the emperor's side and get rid of traitors, wouldn't he be famous as a teacher! In the past, Dong Zhuo held the emperor hostage, and the righteous men of the world followed the edict to launch an army crusade, that's how it is!"

Zhang Hong looked at Zhu Wei with a slight smile, but he said a simple method. Of course, although this method is common, no one would dare to come up with it.

This so-called emperor's edict is often nonsense. For example, the coquettish edict issued by Dong Dong in the past, whether it was made by Cao Cao in the novel or the so-called edict drafted by Yangzhou native Zang Hong in real history, it was all written by the emperor anyway. It's just a name to use soldiers. In fact, it's not an edict issued by the emperor.

But in name, it often became a reason for foreign troops to send troops to the imperial capital where the emperor was.

Hearing what Zhang Hong said, Zhu Wei suddenly thought of the famous "Yi Dai Zhao" incident in the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, which seemed to happen this year, so could he use the name of this Yi Dai Zhao to send troops?

Of course, even if the "clothes belt edict" that was supposed to appear does not appear now, Zhu Wei will find a way to create a clothes belt edict.

In the original history of AD 199, Dong Cheng, uncle of the Son of Heaven and chariot general Dong Cheng, declared to the outside world that he had accepted the secret edict in the belt of Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty to punish Cao Cao. Wu Shuo and others conspired.

Liu Bei did not participate in it at first. It seemed that Liu Bei conspired with Dong Cheng only after Cao Cao had a drink with Dong Cheng. However, in the end Liu Bei was smart enough to escape from Xudu first. As a result, after the incident of the Clothes and Belts Order was exposed, Liu Bei was not arrested by Cao Cao. However, others such as Dong Cheng were killed by Cao Cao.

But Liu Bei has always held on to this statement of the belt edict, and when he was attacked by Cao Cao, he often used it to show the legitimacy of his confrontation with Cao Cao.

This is the so-called "clothes belt edict" incident. Of course, no one knows whether this so-called "clothes belt edict" exists or not.

Anyway, Dong Cheng claimed to have it, but no one has actually seen it. As for Dong Cheng being killed later, Cao Cao naturally would not admit it, but Han Xiandi, who should have issued the clothes belt edict, did not dare to say that there was one. .

It's just that if Zhu Wei is looking for a reasonable excuse to send troops to Cao Cao, then this "clothes edict" is the best excuse.

Thinking of this, Zhu Wei frowned unavoidably, and said with a smile, "Well, now that the emperor is being held hostage by Cao Cao, Cao Cao's confidantes are everywhere inside and outside the palace. Although there are some old officials in the court of Xudu, but even the emperor's face Difficult to see each other, even if we meet, and under the surveillance of Cao Cao’s confidants, we cannot hear the true words of the emperor! However, Wei heard that today’s emperor has an uncle, Dong Cheng, who was a humerus veteran who had previously guarded the emperor’s return to the capital, and is now a general It is convenient to enter the palace to meet the empress, but it is not possible to see the emperor, but it can also be rewarded by the emperor on behalf of Empress Dong. If the emperor wants to get rid of Cao Cao, he may give Dong Cheng a brocade robe and jade belt, and in the It is also possible to hide an edict inside and let Dong Cheng spread the empire on his behalf to get rid of Cao Cao!"

Zhu Wei casually talked about the clothing and belt edict. Although he was talking about maybes and possibilities, he gave an excuse that was enough to make people believe it.

After hearing this, everyone in the hall couldn't help but change their expressions slightly. They also laughed when they saw Zhu Wei. This kind of excuse is really good, but they really didn't expect that Zhang Hong just pointed in the direction, and Zhu Wei would come out so quickly. I can think of a way.

Zhu Wei glanced at the people in the hall, and then said, "It's hard for outsiders to know what happened in Xudu, maybe the emperor has already issued an edict, but the inner ministers have no soldiers, so they dare not move lightly, and the outer ministers have no edicts and dare not move." Light aid, so the world has not yet known about this matter! Now if we are willing to quote for the emperor, we may be able to obtain this edict. How about it, Mr. Wenhe, this matter will be entrusted to you, or you can use our manpower to Explore in Xudu!"

"No! Your servant will make arrangements!"

Jia Xu stood up and agreed that this matter would naturally be left to the school office. Even if there was no such thing as a dress code, a poisonous person like Jia Xu could naturally turn the lie into reality and arrange everything properly.

For Zhu Wei, it is just an excuse. As long as there is an excuse to let the people of the world get rid of Cao Cao's method of coercing the emperor to order the princes, Zhu Wei believes that many people are willing to see it.

Even Yuan Shao is willing to accept this so-called clothing edict, which will also give Yuan Shao an excuse to send troops south to the Central Plains. Everyone is waiting for an opportunity.

"My lord, although we have the reputation of using soldiers now, I just think that now is not the time to rescue the emperor. According to what I see, we should prepare Luoyang for the emperor now, so that we can attack Xudu in the future. Greet the Son of Heaven directly and then return to the imperial capital! Then Xudu is just a small county, how can it be the place where the Son of Heaven will stay for a long time!"

At this time, Zhou Yu was also speaking half-truthfully over there. Although he seemed to be thinking of the emperor, he actually pointed out Zhu Wei's next military direction, which should be Luoyang, not Luoyang. Go directly to Xudu, which is controlled by Cao Cao.

Zhu Wei was stunned again when he heard that, if he went to fight Luoyang now, then he would put the strategic direction in the Guanzhong area, which is a bit like avoiding reality and attacking fiction.

Of course, the current situation in Guanzhong is gradually recovering. As Zhong Yao led the Sili captain as a servant, and supervised the affairs of many warlords in Guanzhong, the original Xiliang warlords in Guanzhong have basically been appeased. , although there are still some small warlords separatist, but overall it can be regarded as the recognition of the imperial court's control, and it is no longer fighting with each other.

In this way, as the war in Guanzhong ceased, many people who had escaped from Guanzhong returned to their ancestral land one after another. After years of war and chaos, the land in Guanzhong, which was almost deserted for thousands of miles, seemed to have some popularity again, and the local county government must also be recovering.

It can be said that the current Guanzhong is completely different from the complete mess half a year ago, especially in Luoyang and Hongnong, where there is already a bit of revival.

Of course, in the northwest region of Guanzhong, there are still Xiliang warlords headed by Ma Teng and Han Sui, supplemented by Liang Xing, Hou Xuan, Cheng Yin, Li Kan, Zhang Heng, Cheng Yi, Ma Wan, Yang Qiu and other small warlords. Occupies Chang'an and some surrounding areas.

It can be said that the current warlord forces in Guanzhong have changed from the era of Guo Bang and Li Jue to the era of Ma Teng and Han Sui. To late civil war.

It should be said that Ma Teng and Han Sui have not become lawless because of holding the emperor hostage like Guo Si and Li Jue. They are still willing to accept the constraints of the court. .

In the original history, Zhong Yao once persuaded Ma Teng and Han Sui to surrender to Cao Cao, and each sent their sons to Xudu as hostages, expressing their submission to the emperor of the Han Dynasty held hostage by Cao Cao.

Therefore, although the Xiliang warlord forces of Ma Teng and Han Sui still exist in Guanzhong, it is generally quite comforting.

But now that Zhou Yu suggested that Zhu Wei take Guanzhong first, Zhu Wei was a little surprised. This seems to be back to the strategic policy formulated by Wang Yuyan at the beginning...
