The Yuan Family of the Three Kingdoms I call the shots

Chapter 423 Liu Xie Stands on His Own
"Is there another plan?" Fu Wan seemed a little confused: "Could it be that your majesty means that as soon as Yuan Shang sends troops, Cao Zhi will inevitably send troops, and when the time comes, your majesty will raise his arms in Xudu, calling for loyal and righteous people, and decide the world? "

Liu Xiechang sighed and shook his head: "If Cao Zhi hadn't become prime minister, I would have thought this way. It wasn't until the last time I secretly ordered Wei Huang to play the roster that Cao Zhi won the prime minister! At that time, I didn't understand. In the territory of these lords, no matter what I do, I can’t turn back! The head of the state told me to wait for three years last time, but now I understand a truth, that is, Cao Zhi will be there after Cao Cao’s death. If Cao Zhi dies in the future, there will be another What Cao Pi, Cao Zhang, Cao Xiong, Cao Chong... In short, Cao Amao, Cao Agou, there are people who can inherit the authority of the Cao family! It will never fall on me! Let me put it this way, if I can live 1 years, I will be A 1-year puppet!"

After thinking about it for a while, a look of despair appeared on his face.

"Then what does His Majesty want to do?"

Liu Xie continued: "So, I want to take this opportunity to leave! Leave Xudu!"

"Leaving Xudu?" Fu Wan trembled all over, and said in a low voice: "Your Majesty, did you hear me right?"

Liu Xie clenched his fists and said in a low voice: "Master, you heard me right! I want to leave Xudu, to be more precise, leave the Cao family! Over the years, I and the loyal ministers and righteous men in the court have secretly accumulated strength. Despite the chaos, the hearts of the people are still loyal to the Han, so we have accumulated some wealth, which may not be enough to seize power in Xudu, but it should be more than enough to protect me and escape!"

After bowing his head down, he calmly pondered for a while, and finally said: "Your Majesty, you have made a lot of schemes, including the matter of wearing clothes back then. The old minister felt that the methods were too immature, but today's method made the old minister truly I think His Majesty has really matured!"

Liu Xie said earnestly: "The sky is so big, the sea and the sky are so vast, why should we stick our eyes to Xuchang? I have plenty of places to go!"

Fu Wan said excitedly: "Your Majesty, if we succeed in fleeing this time, we will go to Jingzhou and go to Xiangyang to find Liu Xuande! With the current strength of the emperor's uncle in Jingzhou, coupled with His Majesty's majesty, looking at the world, we are not afraid of Yuan Shang. Cao Zhi and his like."

Liu Xie's complexion suddenly sank, and a sneer flashed across the corner of his mouth.

"Head of the country, are you a good person when you are Liu Bei?"

Fu Wan was stunned: "What do you mean, Your Majesty?"

Liu Xiechang sighed: "Patriarch, I have been a puppet for 18 years, and now I understand that a good person cannot be the overlord of a party. Liu Bei is a clan member of the Han Dynasty. He must be stronger than Dong Zhuo and his ilk, but he is worse than Dong Zhuo and his ilk. When it comes to Cao Zhi, I’m afraid it’s not as good as it! Although he is in the name of supporting the Han, he has the heart to dominate the world... Although I gave him the clothes and belts back then, it was just to use him. Now he is sitting on Jing In the land of the Chuhan River, if you dominate one side, I can't trust him anymore."

Fu Wan lamented: "If your majesty doesn't even believe in your clan relatives, who else can you believe in?"

Liu Xie looked firm: "I have been held hostage by Cao Cao for so many years. Cao Cao used my name to appeal to the world. I have also learned a lot from Cao Cao. The most important thing I have learned is that no one should be trusted. Believe in yourself!"

After finishing speaking, Liu Xie raised his hand, pointed to the bookshelf from a distance and said, "Master, there is a picture of Han Dynasty on that shelf, you can get it for me."

After taking the order, he went to the shelf and found a roll of Pitu, brought it in front of Liu Xie, and the two slowly unfolded Pitu.

Liu Xie clicked his lips lightly, and said: "Luoyang, the eastern capital, after many hardships, I want to go back."

"Luoyang?" Fu Wan was surprised when he heard the words, and said: "The land of Luoyang has been in decline after Dong Zhuo's rebellion in the past. When he escaped from Li Jue and Guo Si, His Majesty lived in Luoyang and suffered a lot. Later Zhun Cao Cao moved the capital to Xuchang just now, why do you want to go back now?"

Liu Xie whispered: "Patriarch, take a closer look at the geographical location of Luoyang!"

After hearing the words, he poked his head curiously.

Liu Xie asked Fu Wan to watch, while explaining: "Guo Zhang, in the eyes of these hungry wolves in the world, I am just a big piece of fat! Everyone wants to take it back to their own nest to satisfy their greed, but whose nest is I going to Li, the end will not be too good! I can only stand on my own!"

After all, Liu Xie gestured his hand to the picture and said: "But look, where else can I gain a foothold in today's world? Hebei, Qing, Bing, and You extend all the way to the Yan Dynasty in Liaodong, and even the Han Dynasty. The Mobei Grassland outside the border is Yuan Shang's sphere of influence! From the west of Chang'an to Liangzhou, where the Qiang people gather, is also being consolidated by his generals Zhao Yun and Yan Xing! The land of the Central Plains in the Guandong starts from Xingyang Zhongmou in the west. , to Langye in the East China Sea in the east, Ruxukou in Shouchun in the south, and Le'an in Mount Tai in the north. The entire Yanzhou, Yuzhou, Xuzhou, Huainan, and even a small part of Yangzhou are in the hands of Cao Zhi! And Jingchu belongs to Liu Bei, Jiangdong It belongs to Sun Quan, and Western Shu belongs to Liu Zhang, where else do you think I can go?"

Fu Wan raised his head and looked at Liu Xie hesitantly.

Liu Xie pointed heavily at the land of Luoyang: "I can only return the old capital Luoyang! When Yuan Shang went to the east, Xiahou Dun and others defended here and joined forces with Liu Bei to force Yuan Shang to return to the north. Since then, Cao Zhi's western defense line has basically been placed in the Xingyang and Songshan are used to consolidate the defense of Zhongzhou, and Yuan Shang and Liu Bei do not want to divide too many forces to station in Luoyang without a large-scale attack. Concentrating too much energy is in danger of being caught in the wind, so the three families are all guarding the frontier, if they don't go, I will go!"

Fu Wan thought for a while and said: "However, as Your Majesty said, Luoyang is now at the intersection of the three families. Once Yuan Shang sends troops to Hanoi or Chang'an, Liu Bei sends troops to Nanyang Wancheng, and Cao Zhi sends troops to Xingyang Songshan, any one of them can kidnap Your Majesty. Isn't Your Majesty very dangerous?"

Liu Xie laughed and said, "It is because the three families can hijack me, so I should go! The hijacking of one family is terrible, but the hijacking of the three families can restrain each other! If Cao Zhi wants to rob me and return to Xudu, Liu Bei must take the land of Yingchuan Runan Cut off his way back! If Yuan Shang wants to rob me from Hanoi, then Cao Zhi will send heavy troops to Luoshui to stop it! If Liu Bei wants to go from Wancheng to Luoyang to rob me, Yuan Shang will order Zhao Yun to come out of Chang'an to attack!"

Fu Wan heard the words suddenly: "Your Majesty means that His Majesty sits in the middle of the three families, and the three families restrain each other, but they can't be hijacked?"

Liu Xie nodded and said: "That's the truth, and I'm not afraid that they dare to force it. When Cao Cao sent troops to flatter me, he also respectfully played to welcome me into Xu. He didn't dare to use force! Yuan Shang, Liu Bei, and Cao Zhi are all from extraordinary backgrounds. It's hostility, be wary of each other, who would be stupid enough to do the robbery of Li Jue and Guo Si back then? It's just a matter of fact! In this way, the imperial decree will have a delicate balancing effect among the three families, and the emperor's authority very!"

Fu Wan's face was a little excited: "If it can be like this, the three families will be on guard against each other, and they will worship each other every year, with courtesy and respect, and the people of the world will still be loyal to the Han. If your majesty really has his own foothold, why worry about the world's scholars and virtuous people?" Will the minister return? At that time, His Majesty will sit in the ancient capital of Luoyang, use the imperial power to attract talents from all directions, recruit troops and buy horses, block the Sishui in the east, reject the tiger prison in the north, and guard Hangu in the west, so that the princes of the world can't get close. If you sit and watch the situation in the world, the prosperity of the Han Dynasty can be expected! !"

Liu Xie smiled and said, "That's what it means!"

**************************
A few days later, Fu Wan sent someone to secretly convey Liu Xie's intentions to Simpi.Ask him to return to Yecheng, ask Yuan Shang to send troops to serve the king, and after the promise is fulfilled, he will be named the Great General of Sima.

At the same time, Liu Xie also quietly sent people to Xiangyang to convey the secret order to Liu Bei.

After Xinpi got the news of Fu Wan, he immediately paid his respects and returned to Hebei non-stop to communicate with Yuan Shang.
When he arrived in Yecheng, Xin Pi didn't go back to the mansion first, but hurriedly ran to Yuan Shang's mansion to report.

Today's Yuan Shang Mansion is very lively, because both Sima Yi and Deng Chang are guests.

Catch up with nothing to do today, so Yuan Shang called his three wives, together with Sima Yi and Deng Chang, to play games together—please close your eyes when it gets dark.

"Please close your eyes when it's getting dark—bandits please kill—officials please open your eyes—officials please identify—dawn, Sima Yi died last night!"

"What?" Sima Yi opened his eyes, and slapped the table angrily, "Why did I die in the first round again? Which idiot with no eyes? Kill me back? I'm sick! I look alike official?"

Yuan Shang squinted at Sima Yi and said, "You definitely don't look like an official, because you have been a thief on the Yangtze River, but the people's eyes are discerning, whoever makes you look like you should be killed!"

Sima Yi was furious when he heard the words: "I'm sick! A playful method is also related to appearance, so is there another way to play? I won't accompany you!"

After finishing speaking, Sima Yi flipped his trump card viciously, and said, "Look, I'm just a mob!"

Xia Houjuan wrinkled his nose slightly: "It's rude to flip the cards before the game is over!"

Zhen Mi smiled and said, "Don't blame Mr. Sima, who made him suffer from the knife?" "

Lu Lingqi spread her hands: "He is born to be hated."

Yuan Shang smiled and patted Sima Yi on the shoulder: "Look, my three wives can take care of you now, and your status is completely gone."

Furious, Sima Yi glared at Yuan Shang, then suddenly turned his head to Deng Chang: "Old man Deng, why don't you speak? You are always the best at showing off, why are you dumb today? Could it be that you have a guilty conscience!"

Deng Chang rolled his eyes: "What is there to be guilty of, old man?"

"You are not guilty, why are you hiding your cards? Lift up your hole cards and let me see your identity?"

"Why show it to you, the old man won't!"

Sima Yi bared his teeth and said with a sinister smile, "If I have to watch it!"

Deng Chang shook his head and said, "Hey, old man, I won't show it to you, hey! Old man, I'm so mad at you~~!"

Xia Houjuan quietly glanced at the cards on Deng Chang's back, and said, "Oh, Mr. Deng, your hole card is a bandit!"

Deng Chang's face turned red, and he glared at Xia Houjuan angrily: "Mute girl, have you forgotten who you're with? How can you get rid of this old man!"

Sima Yi was angry: "Okay, I knew it was you, an old man, who stabbed me in the back, and said! Why did you kill me back, or I will never let you go today!"

After all, he rushed to the mountain to wrestle with Deng Chang.

Just at this moment, Xin Pi hurried in, and was taken aback when he saw this scene.

"Hey, how many are you busy?"

"........."
