Chapter 498 Temptation?

As early as the end of the second year of Chuping, when the alliance of the Kwantung heroes against Dong Zhuo collapsed.Dong Zhuo has moved his capital to Chang'an, arrogant and tyrannical.In view of this situation, the scholars in Chang'an once sent an envoy to the Kanto to contact the King of Yibingqin.And that messenger's name is Liu He.

Liu He was serving as a servant at that time, and was a close minister of the emperor.At the suggestion of the scholars in Chang'an, Liu Xie, Emperor Xiandi of the Han Dynasty, asked Liu He to pretend to abandon his official position and flee to avoid Dong Zhuo's eyes and ears. Come to the rescue.

The reason why I thought of contacting Liu Yu was not only because Liu Yu was a clan member of the Han Dynasty, but also because he was the only one among the Kwantung heroes who had sent envoys to worship the emperor since the heroes raised their troops against Dong Zhuo.In the second year of Chuping, Yuan Shao and Han Fu wanted to support Liu Yu as emperor, but Liu Yu sternly rejected it. To show his loyalty, Liu Yu also sent a man named Tian Chou to go around the south of the desert and come to Chang'an for a pilgrimage. The Son of Heaven moved Emperor Xian and the court scholars very much.

And this Liu He is Liu Yu's son.

Liu He received the emperor's secret order, dressed up in disguise, and Xingye set off for Kanto.

The shortest road from Chang'an to Kanto is to go straight east through Huayin, Tongguan, and Shan counties to Luoyang, but this road is guarded by heavy troops sent by Dong Zhuo.If Liu He flees, he will inevitably be wanted by Dong Zhuo. Taking this road is extremely risky.Therefore, he chose a circuitous route, starting from Chang'an, crossing the Qinling Mountains to the southeast, leaving Wuguan to Nanyang; then turning north, passing through Hebei to Youzhou.

Liu He escaped successfully.He went through many hardships and crossed the mountains, finally escaped from Dong Zhuo's sphere of influence and came to Nanyang under the rule of Yuan Shu.

Scholars in the Chang’an court have always regarded the Kwantung scholars as their relatives, and Yuan Shu was one of the heroes who once fought against Dong Zhuo. Liu He originally thought that coming to Yuan Shu’s territory should be as safe as going to a relative’s house; but he was wrong. The situation The complexity and sinisterness far exceeded his expectations.

The Kwantung heroes have long lost their enthusiasm for fighting against Dong Zhuo Shiqin. What they are now keen on is to expand their power and realize their personal ambitions; Yuan Shu is even more deliberate in wanting to become emperor. If Dong Zhuo is killed and the emperor is welcomed back, then Yuan Shu's dream of becoming an emperor will come to naught.

So after hearing the news of Liu He's arrival, Yuan Shu detained him.

Not only that, Yuan Shu also had his own calculations: he knew that Youzhou was rich in famous cavalry, and for the warlords in the Central Plains, cavalry was a rare advanced armed force, and having cavalry could help them fight against warlords. Win in the melee.So he lied to Liu He and said, I also have the wish of King Qin, why don't you let your father send troops to Nanyang and join me in marching together.

Liu He is really a silly and naive good boy, he easily believed Yuan Shu's nonsense, he wrote to Liu Yu, and Liu Yu really sent thousands of cavalry to Nanyang.In order to please Yuan Shu, Gongsun Zan also sent his younger brother Gongsun Yue and more than a thousand cavalry to help him.

Ordinarily, the soldiers sent by Liu Yu should be led by Liu He, but Yuan Shu then colluded with Gongsun Yue to detain Liu He and seize his army.Later, Yuan Shu threw the cavalry aided by Liu Yu into the melee of the warlords, completely breaking his promise to Liu He.

Only now did Liu and the child realize that they had been deceived, and they were very angry.But he was entrusted by the emperor and the court, how could he give up halfway?So he saw the right time, escaped from Yuan Shu, and planned to go to Youzhou via Hebei.

Perhaps Liu He's mission was destined to suffer. When he passed through Hebei, he was discovered by Yuan Shao, and Yuan Shao also detained him.Although Yuan Shao had a bloody fight with Yuan Shu, his attitude towards the Chang'an court was surprisingly consistent.If Liu He succeeds in contacting King Liu Yuqin, how will his ambition to dominate the world be realized?
The Kwantung heroes had a tacit understanding in dealing with the Chang'an court under Dong Zhuo's control.For them, it is legal to let the imperial court continue to be controlled by Dong Zhuo and other Liangzhou warriors, and they disobey the imperial court's orders and expand their personal power.Because the imperial court controlled by Dong Zhuo is itself illegal, they can use illegality to deal with illegality.

Therefore, Yuan Shao also wanted to use Liu He, but what he wanted was not cavalry, but to take Liu He as a hostage to blackmail Liu Yu, and let Liu Yu help him deal with Gongsun Zan.At that time, Gongsun Zan was at the height of his power and was Yuan Shao's greatest threat.

Liu He was detained until his father Liu Yu was killed by Gongsun Zan. At this time, Yuan Shao gave Liu He a certain degree of freedom. He asked Liu He to contact Liu Yu's old troops, and jointly attacked Gongsun Zan in the name of Liu Yu's revenge. Liu He was tied to Yuan Shao's chariot, and he couldn't help but plunged into the melee of the warlords.

The tragedies of Liu He and Liu Yu witnessed the arduous journey of the traditional scholars who were loyal to the court in the late Eastern Han Dynasty to save the country and the country. Fully informed of what happened to Liu He.

However, a smart person like Liu Xiu and Wang Yun naturally learned about Liu He's recent situation in bits and pieces.And from this, how could they not see some tricks in it?Therefore, when Liu Xiu mentioned the name 'Liu He', Wang Yun fell into silence immediately.

"Lord Situ, maybe the heroes of the Kanto region will raise their troops to serve the king, but a certain class can't pin all their hopes on this kind of fantasy. If Lord Situ only has these small plans, then today's matter, please stop here. Xiu'er Today has just arrived, so I can't send you far..." After listening to Liu Xiu's story about Liu He, Lu Bu couldn't help but underestimate Wang Yun.

But after Wang Yun sighed, he laughed again, picked up the wine bottle in front of him, drank it in one gulp, and then said: "Perhaps, relying on the wolf to save the sheep is just the childish whimsy of this old man. Even if The old man is unwilling to admit it, but the facts seem to be as the princess said, those heroes who were deeply taught by loyalty, filial piety, and righteousness may have degenerated into selfish warlords, and the court of Chang'an has been completely abandoned by them... and now, Let us formally discuss the plan to resist the thieves."

Seeing this, Lu Bu and Liu Xiu couldn't help being shocked by Wang Yun's mind and courage.Especially Liu Xiu couldn't help taking a sip of wine to calm down her understanding of Wang Yun: I seem to have underestimated this old man... Then what he said earlier, could it be?

Probing? !
That's right, Wang Yun is an old guy, he also knows that the Kwantung heroes may be unreliable.But here he proposes this strategy, the purpose is actually to see.Will my husband obey him! !

This old guy, in the face of a great enemy, still keeps thinking about plotting against his own people. No wonder Ma Chao has troubled him again and again!
Thinking of this, Liu Xiu couldn't help but took another big sip of wine, and squeezed Lu Bu's hand slightly: That Ma Chao, why didn't he just piss this old guy to death! !

And Lu Bu felt Liu Xiu's anger, and seemed to understand something from Liu Xiu's eyes.Looking at Wang Yun's eyes, he couldn't help but feel a little colder.However, he restrained himself carefully to cover up immediately, and secretly patted Liu Xiu's hand, signaling Liu Xiu to be at ease.

But Liu Xiu was a woman after all. At this moment, she suddenly thought of the letter Ma Chao had given her, and almost had the urge to open it and take a look at it immediately: Did that Ma Chao just let herself be wary of Wang Yun?No, it's impossible. He said that the letter must be opened at the most critical moment. Now that the war has not started, it is not the time...

And Wang Yun, ignoring the two people's thoughts, Shi Shiran took out something from his arms, spread it out in the hall, and was about to start his really big speech...
