I am Li Shimin of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 181
In Chang'an City, in the Hanyuan Hall of Weiyang Palace, the emperor Liu Xie is listening to the report of the servant. The world is full of chaos, the court is clamoring, and the emperor is investigating many things through his eyes and ears.

It seems that the Son of Heaven does not care about world affairs, but in fact he has been secretly watching the world's movements, especially the recent crusade against Li Shimin by various princes in the world. Liu Xie is naturally very concerned and has been paying close attention to the movements.

This was originally what he tried his best to promote, and Huangfusong just walked in front of the stage instead of him, making arrangements for him, and connecting secretly.

In order to organize the princes from all walks of life to crusade against Li Shimin, the emperor Liu Xie gave up a lot of blood and gave up a lot of power. This is nothing to do. After all, the emperor is not short of hungry soldiers. In addition to Cao Cao, Yuan Shao, Gongsun Zan and even Yuan Shu are all there. Ask for your own reward, so that your position will be as stable as a rock.

For example, Gongsun Zan of Youzhou threatened the emperor to formally appoint him as the shepherd of Youzhou, and at the same time promised not to pursue the cause of Liu Yu's death. This was the condition for him to send troops, and the emperor naturally agreed.There is also Yuan Shao, who also wants the emperor to confer on him a Jizhou shepherd, so as to avoid the current reputation.

To put it bluntly, everyone also needs a name of righteousness, what is needed is an officially recognized identity given by the emperor, when the time comes, the princes from all walks of life will transform themselves into the big officials of the Han Dynasty, no matter who attacks them in the future, at least they can attack them morally enemy's.

It's not that the emperor is in the hands of Li Shimin now, and people serve the emperor to order the princes. You have already lost a game at the level of righteousness.

It's just that these are not big things in the eyes of the emperor. After all, the princes of all walks of life have actually formed a situation of independent rule. Even without the official appointment of the emperor, they are still the emperor of the earth, and they don't stop the emperor's orders.

After paying a price that is not costly, in exchange for eliminating the great hatred in his heart, Liu Xie felt that no matter how he looked at it, he was making money without losing money.

"Your Majesty, according to the news from General Huangfu, Yuan Shao and Cao Jun's 10,000+ army is here in Hanoi, threatening Luoyang from the south bank, and Cao Jun's 4-strong army is in the south of Luoyang, intending to attack Luoyang from Daguguan.

Yuan Shu also threatened Chang'an from the direction of Wuguan, plus Cao Cao who attacked Hulao Pass and Gongsun Zan who sent troops to Bingzhou, the number of troops dispatched this time reached 60, and Li Shimin was already surrounded by heroes from all walks of life. Doomed.

Liu Xie nodded, he couldn't see any joy or anger. In his opinion, Li Shimin was not easy to deal with. Until the end, he didn't know who would win.It is by no means comparable to Dong Zhuo and his ilk. You must be more cautious, because you have already suffered a big loss.

"Uncle Zhao, do you think our strategy will work this time?" Emperor Liu Xie asked the old eunuch standing beside him.

"Your Majesty, although Li Shimin is a man, after all, he is facing an ambush on all sides and a powerful enemy on all sides. The princes from all walks of life have already surrounded Li Shimin. In addition, there are outstanding generals like General Huangfu and Cao Cao. The chances of winning are very high," the old eunuch said.

Seeing that the emperor was lost in thought, the old official continued: "Your Majesty, is this a god-sent opportunity for us to strengthen our strength?"

"Oh? What a godsend opportunity?" Liu Xie became interested in an instant.

The old eunuch said excitedly: "This time, the snipe and the clam compete for the fisherman's benefit. We can also take this opportunity to weaken the strength of the other princes. Even if we can defeat Li Shimin, the princes will definitely pay a heavy price. It will also be greatly damaged. At that time, the loyal generals such as Huang Fusong will take over the troops and territory in Guanzhong, and occupy Guanzhong, a geomantic treasure, and will have the foundation to calm the world. Great plans and great achievements are not far away."

"Wonderful, what a clever plan, Uncle Zhao is indeed far-sighted, haha." Liu Xie laughed heartily.

In fact, Liu Xie didn't fully count on the princes from all walks of life. He knew that these princes were unreliable, and they were all ambitious people. Only by holding the military power in their hands was the safest way.Since you Li Shimin won't let me go back to Luoyang, then I will take your Guanzhong.

Liu Xie walked up and down the hall excitedly, his face flushed and he looked extremely excited.

The old eunuch looked at the excited Liu Xie coldly, but he was still very calm.He added: "Your Majesty, there are already some righteous men in Chang'an City who are grateful for the kindness of the emperor and are willing to go through fire and water for His Majesty. As long as the time is right, they will definitely raise troops and cooperate with the enemies outside the city to take Chang'an."

"Oh, there is such a righteous man who is commendable for his loyalty and popular support, haha." Liu Xie was even more excited, as if Guan Zhong was within his grasp.

…………

At this time, it turns out that Li Shimin in Luoyang also received the news from Guanzhong. All the undercurrents in Chang'an City are under Li Shimin's attention. The enemies on the surface have been completely exposed in Li Shimin's sight. Not surfaced yet.

"My lord, the enemies lurking in the city of Chang'an seem to be colluding in secret, trying to cooperate with Yuan Shu's army outside the pass to take down Guanzhong. I can't break through, but this enemy is like tarsal ants, if not eliminated early, it will always be a hazard." Jia Xu still said calmly.

Li Shimin pondered for a moment, and asked with some uncertainty: "Wenhe, what is your best strategy to catch them all?"

"My lord, I think it's better to take this opportunity to wipe out all the enemies in Chang'an City, otherwise it will always be a disaster." Jia Xu stroked his goatee habitually, and continued: "Let's put on a play for him, let's lure the snake out of the hole ?”

"Oh, lure the snake out of the hole? This is a clever plan." Li Shimin seemed to have understood Jia Xu's plan, and continued to order: "Wenhe, immediately send an order to Xu Shu, tell him our plan, let him act according to circumstances, and at the same time give him the right to deploy troops Let him mobilize the Gaoshun and Dianwei armies in the pass to suppress the rebellion, and let Wenyou's Baiqisi fully cooperate to destroy these monsters."

Li Shimin ordered decisively, the so-called don't move, you're done, move, you'll be killed with one blow, this matter will be handled by Xu Shu, so it's easy to catch.

"No! This subordinate takes the order." Jia Xu accepted the order happily.

"Wenhe, Wuguan and Dashanguan should be worry-free in the short term. Hulaoguan is even more difficult for Cao Cao to make progress. As for Cao Jun in Hanoi County, I don't think the problem is too big. The most worrying thing now is Bingzhou , As long as Zhang Liao and Xi Zhi of Bingzhou can achieve what they want, I think the final victory of the Central Plains War belongs to us." Li Shimin calmly analyzed the current situation, although the crisis is lurking, but the overall situation is under control.
