Legend of Summoning of the Three Kingdoms

After that, Li Yuan said to Li Shimin and others: "Is there anything happening in the court recently?"

At this time Li Jiancheng said: "There is nothing too important, but His Majesty has rewarded Zhang Ji with some property."

Li Yuan shook his head and said, "That Zhang Ji is just a Xiliang man. If it weren't for the [-] Xiliang cavalry in his hands, who in the court would think highly of him? Nothing to be afraid of."

Li Jiancheng looked at Li Yuan with worry in his eyes at this time, and said: "Father, His Majesty's promotion of Zhang Ji is obviously to suppress his father. Liu Yu's ability to ascend to the throne depends on his father, but once he ascends to that position, he will turn his face. Don't recognize people, this majesty is too "

"Jiancheng, you can just say these words in front of us. If it gets out, you will know the consequences." Li Yuan interrupted Li Jiancheng unceremoniously.

Li Jiancheng was shocked when he heard this. If Liu Yu or Yang Biao and others knew what he said just now, then Li Jiancheng would have absolutely no chance of surviving.

Defamation of Xinjun is not a crime that can be easily dealt with.Moreover, the new official took office three fires, and Liu Yu had just ascended the throne as emperor, so naturally he wanted to do something to confirm his status.And if Li Jiancheng's words just spread out, it would definitely hit Liu Yu's knife.

But fortunately, besides Li Yuan, only Li Shimin and Li Xiuning knew what Li Jiancheng said, so there was no need to worry about it being known to outsiders.

Li Yuan waved his hand at this moment, and said to Li Jiancheng and the three of them: "Your Majesty has just ascended the throne, and everything in Chang'an City is just waiting to be done. You guys give me a little peace during this time. Especially you, Shimin."

At the end of Li Yuan's words, he looked at Li Shimin. Li Shimin's heart was chilled, as if the secret in his heart had been seen through by Li Yuan.

Li Shimin quickly lowered his head, and respectfully said to Li Yuan: "My child understands."

Seeing his father's solemn instructions, and it seemed that the main target was his second brother, Li Jiancheng couldn't help feeling a little curious. What did Li Shimin do in private to make his father so solemn?

Thinking of this, Li Jiancheng suddenly realized that he knew too little about his second brother. Although he knew that his second brother was busy all day long, Li Jiancheng knew nothing about what Li Shimin did.

All of Li Shimin's usual behaviors surfaced in Li Jiancheng's mind. Li Jiancheng suddenly had countless thoughts in his mind, but because Li Yuan was still there, under the pressure from Li Yuan, Li Jiancheng had no choice but to temporarily suppress these thoughts in his heart. , Wait until later to ask Li Shimin.

After Li Yuan left, Li Shimin didn't give Li Jiancheng a chance to inquire, and left in a hurry after apologizing to Li Jiancheng and Li Xiuning.

Looking at Li Shimin's leaving back, Li Jiancheng had a complicated expression, he didn't know what he was thinking, while Li Xiuning beside him showed a curious look on his face, but he didn't know what Li Xiuning was curious about?

After returning to his study room, Li Yuan casually took out a book from the bookshelf and read it, but for some reason today, Li Yuan was very upset, but he couldn't read the contents of the book at all. go in.

Li Yuan simply threw the book aside, his eyes were slightly closed, and his expression was calm and prestige.

Liu Yu?Don't think that you can do whatever you want now that you are the emperor. If it weren't for Yang Biao and others to hinder you, you would think that you, Liu Yu, would be able to ascend the throne.Now that you are in this position, just be obedient, if you have to do something, you will die very early.

Originally, Li Yuan meant to establish a side branch of the royal family surnamed Liu as the emperor, so that he and others could control it, but Yang Biao and other Han Dynasty veterans insisted on making Liu Yu the emperor, and Liu Yu was uncharacteristically for some reason. He suddenly became interested in the throne and tried his best to fight for it.

In the end, Li Yuan had no choice but to agree with Liu Yu as the emperor. After all, Li Yuan's influence in the court is not very strong now. For the sake of the great cause in the future, Li Yuan can only temporarily compromise now.

In this chaotic world, a sense of ambition was born in Li Yuan's heart, and this ambition became even stronger after Li Yuan became the head of the Li family in Longxi.In order to realize the ambition in his heart, Li Yuan started the layout very early. Many things that happened in Chang'an recently have Li Yuan's shadow behind them.

For example, the assassination of the former emperor Liu Xie.

2 Chapter Ninety

When the news that Liu Yu ascended the throne as emperor and changed his reign name to Anping was conveyed to the world, it immediately aroused different reactions from the princes of the world.

General Gongsun Xu of Youzhou Xiaoqi did not respond to the fact that Liu Yu had already ascended the throne as emperor. He neither professed his vassal to Chang'an nor raised the flag of rebellion.Just did nothing, and the reasons for this are known to all the princes of the world.Liu Yu was originally a shepherd in Youzhou.However, he was defeated by Gongsun Xu in the process of competing for Youzhou with Gongsun Xu. Although Gongsun Xu did not take Liu Yu's life in the end, it was regarded as a thread, but the two sides have already tied the knot, and it is not so easy to untie. .

However, Gongsun Xu has no intention of opposing the Han now, or in other words, he has no anti-Han on the surface, so due to the enmity between Gongsun Xu and Liu Yu, Gongsun Xu has not expressed his attitude now.

After the news of Liu Yu's ascension to the throne reached Yanzhou, Cao Cao, the general of Yanzhou Zhendong, gathered a group of civil servants and advisers under his command to discuss. emperor.At the same time, Cao Cao also sent Xun Yu, a counselor under his command, to Chang'an to meet Liu Yu, the new emperor of the Han Dynasty.

In the Jizhou Mufu Mansion, Yuan Shao dismissed the news that Liu Yu had ascended the throne as emperor, and said to the civil servants under his command: "Liu Bo'an proclaims himself emperor? If he wants me to proclaim him a vassal, he has a good idea."

At this time Xun Chen said to Yuan Shao: "My lord, this Liu Yu is the emperor, if we don't submit to him now, I'm afraid there will be some trouble."

Yuan Shao glanced at Xun Chen and said, "Is there anything I should fear about him, Liu Bo'an, who was pushed to the throne by Yang Biao, Li Yuan and others? Could he still lead his troops to Jizhou?"

Now Yuan Shao holds Jizhou and Qingzhou in his hands, with strong strength, he is one of the most powerful princes in the world.However, due to his strength, Yuan Shao's character has become a lot more arrogant, and he looks down on the other princes.

Although Gongsun Xu sent Yue Fei to attack Jizhou and defeated Qu Yi, he is now confronting Yuan Chonghuan in Qinghe, and according to the news that Yuan Chonghuan sent back, he did not gain the upper hand in the battle with Yue Fei.

But Yuan Shao didn't attach importance to Gongsun Xu because of this. On the contrary, in Yuan Shao's eyes, even Gongsun Zan was defeated by him. Even if this Gongsun Xu had some ability, he would be stronger than that Gongsun Zan.So Yuan Shao didn't take Gongsun Xu seriously.Although Yue Fei had already defeated Qu Yi, Yuan Shao believed that Yuan Chonghuan was enough to deal with Yue Fei.

Xun Chen saw that Yuan Shao looked like an old man who was number one in the world, couldn't help but smiled wryly in his heart, and said to Yuan Shao: "My lord, then Liu Yu and Gongsun Xu have always been at odds, and Liu Yu was driven out of Youzhou by Gongsun Xu. Now Liu Yu Ascend to the throne, but Gongsun Xu didn't say anything, now is our chance!"

Yuan Shao said: "What opportunity?"

Xun Chen said: "My lord, there is a serious hatred between Liu Yu and Gongsun Xu. Although Liu Yu is broad-minded, the hatred between the two is not so easy to resolve. Now that Liu Yu has ascended the throne, what is Gongsun Xu doing?" No, I'm afraid I'm waiting for news from Chang'an. Similarly, Liu Yu's handling of this Gongsun Xu may also be a headache. Liu Yu definitely doesn't want to let this Gongsun Xu go, but now Gongsun Xu occupies Youzhou , holding an army of [-], separatist rule. Under such circumstances, even Liu Yu has to be afraid."

Yuan Shao's eyes lit up, and he said, "What Youruo means is"

Xun Chen smiled slightly and said, "My lord can submit to Chang'an, but the condition is that Chang'an cannot accept Gongsun Xu's vassal, and the lord can assure His Majesty that this Gongsun Xu will be dealt with by the lord, and His Majesty will know the benefits and disadvantages of it. There is no need to say how to choose. At that time, Gongsun Xu would be beaten as a traitor and lose his righteousness. Without righteousness, based on what Gongsun Xu is doing now, he will definitely be beaten as a traitor. They are traitors. At that time, I will see how many soldiers under Gongsun Xu's command are willing to follow Gongsun Xu on this treacherous path."

Yuan Shaoxi said: "Youruo's words are very reasonable, but it is just a courtier to Liu Yu. As long as I can solve this Gongsunxu, I will become his courtier of Liu Yu."

Although Yuan Shao looked down on Gongsun Xu very much in his heart, Yuan Shao also understood that today's Gongsun Xu can defeat Liu Yu first, then Gongsun Du, and bring Youzhou under control, which must not be underestimated.Therefore, Yuan Shaona attached great importance to all strategies that could hit Gongsun Xu.

After thinking about it for a while, Yuan Shao said to Xun Chen: "You Ruo, since that's the case, you represent me and bring a generous gift to Chang'an to meet the emperor. As for what to do after arriving in Chang'an, I think you should know."

Xun Chen took the order and said, "This subordinate understands!"

In Yangzhou, when Liu Gun, the governor of Yangzhou, got the news that Liu Yu was the emperor from his entourage, he smiled wryly, looked up to the sky and sighed: "If the brother of the Bo'an clan is capable in the prosperous age, he is definitely a generation of Mingjun, but now In troubled times, Lord Bo'an was able to guard the land, but he was unable to open up borders. My great Han is in danger, but unfortunately, I, Liu Gun, cannot help Brother Bo'an."

At this time, the city where Liu Gun was located was being besieged by a large army and this large army was attacking the city.But in this army, there is a big flag with a big "Sun" written on it.

This large army is Sun Jian's army in the east of the Jiangxi. During the process of competing with Liu Gun for Yangzhou, Sun Jian defeated Liu Gun steadily. Now Liu Gun's power is only left in this area that is being besieged by Sun Jun's soldiers. lonely city.

And this time it was Sun Jian's eldest son Sun Ce and Sun Ce's sworn brother Zhou Yu who were responsible for attacking the city.

Sun Ce was riding a tall horse, holding the Overlord Spear in his hand, and wearing a black gold battle armor. He watched the generals of the Sun Army continuously attacking Liu Gun's last isolated city, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

Sun Ce suddenly turned his head and asked a man beside him with a handsome face that almost surpassed ninety-nine percent of the women in this world, "Gong Jin, how is Zi Yi?"

Zhou Yu said: "Don't worry, Bo Fu, Ziyi is now obeying the Lord's command, there is nothing wrong with it."

Sun Ce flicked his Overlord Spear, and said, "That's good."

Then Sun Ce looked at the city that was being attacked not far away, and said with a sneer, "This Liu Gun can't even use a talent like Ziyi. It seems that the Liu family is already exhausted."

The Ziyi that Sun Ce and Zhou Yu spoke of was Taishi Ci. At the beginning, Taishi Ci first rescued Kong Rong in Beihai, and then he was invited by Liu Gun to go to Yangzhou to join Liu Gun.However, after Tai Shici arrived in Yangzhou, Liu Gun did not use Tai Shici because of his poor background.

Then Liu Gun even said to the people around him: "If I use Ziyi, then Xu Zi will definitely laugh at me for not being able to employ people." Generals who were descendants of aristocratic families suppressed Tai Shici.

However, Tai Shici met Sun Ce when he was investigating the intelligence of Sun Ce's army.

Sun Ce stabbed Taishi Ci's mount down, and snatched the halberds that Taishi Ci was carrying behind him, but Tai Shici also stabbed Sun Ce's helmet with a spear.

After that, the two fought until the two armies of Sun Jian and Liu Gun killed them to the place where they were fighting fiercely.However, after Tai Shici returned to Liu Gun's military camp, Liu Gun was suspicious of him, thinking that Tai Shici was going to vote for Sun Ce privately.Under such circumstances, Tai Shici surrendered to Sun Ce alone in a rage.

And Sun Ce was even more overjoyed after getting Tai Shici's vote, and he held a banquet in the army at that time.

Moreover, after Tai Shici joined Sun Ce, he even met Tao Kan, the son of Tao Qian, the former Xuzhou herdsman who went south to join Sun Jian. From Tao Kan, Tai Shici learned that Liu Bei had taken Xuzhou from Tao Kan, and he forced Tao Kan even more. Do not escape from Xuzhou.Since then, Tai Shici's impression of Liu Bei has become extremely bad.

This lost Tai Shici, and Liu Gun retreated steadily in the confrontation with Sun Jian, and now there is only one isolated city left, and it is about to be captured by Sun Ce's army.Although Tai Shici defected to Sun Ce's command, after all, Tai Shici once served under Liu Gun's command, so Tai Shici did not participate in the last battle against Liu Gun.
