The Rebirth of Lu Bu in the Legend of the Heroes of the Later Han Dynasty

Zhuge Liang, who was riding a royal horse and carrying the Emperor's Sword on his back, was so eye-catching that when he passed the Luoyang City Gate, he was captured by the city guard Li Dian.

Li Dian had seen the Emperor's Sword, which was a sword that cut iron as well as clay. It was much stronger than Cao Cao's Yitian Sword and Qingzhi Sword.

Zhuge Liang was imprisoned in the school affairs office and underwent cruel torture, but he still did not reveal a word. Man Chong felt very helpless and had to report the truth to Cao Pi.

Cao Pi looked at Sima Yi and Chen Qun, "What do you two dear friends think of this person's identity?"

Sima Yi said: "Since this man has the emperor's sword and rides on a royal horse, he must be from the palace. I predict that there will be changes in Chang'an."

Cao Pi asked: "What's the change?"

Sima Yi said: "I heard that the Qiang people from the northwest were invading the Central Plains and must have approached Chang'an at this time. The world sent this person to pass through Luoyang with the Emperor's Sword. There were only three places to go. The first place was to find the King of Wei, and the second place was Jiangdong, the third place is Hebei."

Cao Pi asked: "What does Zhongda think this person's purpose is?"

Sima Yi said: "If he is looking for the King of Wei, why should he keep silent? There are only two places to go, Jiangdong and Hebei. Sun Quan in Jiangdong has few soldiers. I estimate that this person must go to Hebei."

Cao Pi broke into a cold sweat when he heard the word Hebei. He had long heard that Cao Zhi had fled to Hebei and sought asylum from Lu Bu. His current army is no match for Lu Bu, and the older generation of clan members are no longer alive. Cao Zhen, Cao Xiu, and Xia Houshang are now in control of the army. Four veteran generals, Yu Jin, Le Jin, Li Dian, and Xu Huang, all served as generals under Cao Zhen.

Cao Pi asked Sima Yi: "Zhongda, what should we do if Lu Bu raises an army to invade?"

Sima Yi replied: "Your Majesty only needs to send heavy troops to guard Mengjin. There are natural dangers in the Yellow River. Even if Lu Bu has great ability, it will be difficult for him to advance into the Central Plains."

After hearing this, Cao Pi finally relaxed his brows and said, "With Zhongda here, I have nothing to worry about."

After returning home, Deng Ai asked Sima Yi: "Teacher, you are so talented, why are you willing to live under the king of Wei?"

Sima Yi said: "Although the King of Wei has great ambitions, he is by no means an emperor. If he is promoted to a high position as a teacher, he can still be controlled. In the future, the world of his Cao family will belong to my Sima family."

Deng Ai seemed to understand something. He looked at the two boys of the Sima family, Sima Shi and Sima Zhao. Although they were still children, they were already learning the art of cavalry and archery. It seemed that Sima Yi was really thinking about the long term, and his teacher was indeed unfathomable.

Sima Yi came to the prison of the school affairs office, looked at Zhuge Liang who was no longer a human being, and sighed: "It's a pity that a good skin is missing. If you confess, why do you have to suffer all this skin and flesh?"

Zhuge Liang spat on the ground: "Life is a lifetime, and the grass and trees are in autumn. Liang only regrets that he has not completed this important task of saving the world."

Sima Yi said: "What is the world? What is the common people? Young man, there are too many people like you in this world who don't know the heights of the world. I tell you, this world will always be in the hands of us nobles. This is eternal. Changed, the Liu family replaced the Xiang family and became the largest gentry in the world. One day, a new gentry will replace the Liu family, and this will be the world."

Zhuge Liang didn't know how to answer for a moment, so he just turned his head away and said nothing.

In the Chang'an Palace, Dong Fei was sitting on the dragon chair, while Liu Xie was standing under the steps. The down-and-out emperor had lost his imperial spirit at this time.

Dong Fei finally spoke: "I heard that you were once named Dong Hou and were raised by Empress Dowager Dong. You are also related to my Dong family. Judging from your age, I should be your uncle. The burden of the emperor is too heavy. , you can't bear it, from now on you will become King Chenliu, and give up the position of emperor to me."

Liu Xie was so angry that he didn't dare to breathe. Dong Fei had already had a big pot prepared outside the palace. Fu Wan and others had been cooked to death one after another. Only he and Dong Cheng survived.

Hearing Dong Fei's idea of ​​becoming emperor, Liu Xie refused from the bottom of his heart, but he did not have the capital to refuse at this time. All the loyal and good people in the dynasty had been killed, and only the generals of Xiliang were left. Dong Fei was their Leader, with just one finger, it's easier to crush yourself to death than to crush an ant.

After a long psychological struggle, Liu Xie finally made up his mind: "I am willing to give up the position of emperor to King Qiang. I hope King Qiang can treat the people well after he ascends the throne."

Dong Fei laughed loudly: "This is natural, this is natural. I will not only treat the people well, but also treat you kindly. From now on, you will be King Chenliu who is inferior to one person and superior to ten thousand people. Your food, daily life, and travel will all be in accordance with the regulations of the emperor." "

Liu Xie knelt down for the first time and said, "Thank you, King Qiang."

Ten days later, the imperial decree spread throughout the world. Emperor Liu Xie was seriously ill and had no heirs, so he abdicated the throne to Qiang King Dong Fei. From then on, the Han and Qiang families were not separated from each other.

Lu Bu directly tore up the imperial edict and cursed loudly: "Sister Shu! How dare you consider a traitor as your father and insult your ancestors! This general will lead an army of 300,000 from Hebei Province to the capital to Qin Wang and exterminate the Qiang people!"

After everyone's persuasion, Lu Bu suppressed the anger in his heart. He knew that this was not the best time to send troops. The army from the Northern Expedition had not yet returned, and the materials needed for the campaign in the Central Plains had not been prepared. Everything was a big deal. Engineering does not happen overnight.

After receiving the imperial edict, Sun Quan and Liu Zhang chose to treat him in the same way. Both of them now live in a corner and have no time to care about the imperial dispute in the Central Plains. They only sent envoys with gifts to celebrate the new emperor's enthronement.

Cao Pi was overjoyed. The Han Emperor abdicated. Now he could finally claim the title of emperor. Then he started to expell the barbarians. All the heroes in the world would respond, and he could become the founding emperor.

On the one hand, Cao Pi asked Chen Qun and Sima Yi to handle all the matters for him to become emperor, and on the other hand, he asked Zhong Yao and Jia Chong to go to Yanzhou and Xuzhou to select beauties to enrich his harem.

In March of the twelfth year of Jian'an, Emperor Xian of Han abdicated, Dong Fei proclaimed himself emperor, and the country was named "Daxia." The Han Dynasty, which had ruled the Central Plains for more than 400 years, came to an end.

In the same month, King Cao Pi of Wei proclaimed himself emperor in Luoyang, and the country was named "Great Wei." Sima Yi also successfully flew to the branch and became the first prime minister of the Great Wei. His seven brothers also held important positions in the court. He was appointed as the general, Cao Xiu was appointed as the Grand Sima, and Xia Houshang was appointed as the Taiwei.

In this way, two imperial courts appeared in the world. Cao Pi used the banner of expelling the Hulu and hoped to get the support of the other three princes, but he did not get a response because he, the emperor, had an erroneous background.

The princes still loved the Han Dynasty. Lu Bu, Sun Quan, and Liu Zhang all chose to stop paying tribute to the court at the same time. They chose to collect food, prepare ordnance, and train soldiers within their sphere of influence to prepare for the upcoming melee.
