The Yuan Family of the Three Kingdoms I call the shots

Chapter 438 The Three Alliances
"The emperor has run away...is the news true?"

Yuan Shang was so surprised that he stood up all of a sudden, and looked at Ju Shou who had hurriedly entered the report in disbelief.

Ju Shou nodded heavily, and said: "My lord, this matter is absolutely true. Although our spies in Xudu were trapped in the city because of the closure of the city, the spies in other places can move freely. Xu all came out and headed westward along the way, at least passing through three or four passes, and there are our spies in these places, so I learned about it!"

Yuan Shang hurriedly got up when he heard the words, circled around the tent three or two times, and then suddenly said: "Such a big thing happened in Xudu, how can Cao Zhi hold his breath and negotiate with me here?"

Ju Shou smiled wryly and said: "I guess Cao Zhi doesn't want to mess with the lord here, but if he suddenly withdraws now, my elite soldiers will go south immediately, what can he resist? The emperor is important, but Xuchang's foundation is important to him. is more important."

"The Son of Heaven has escaped, the Son of Heaven has escaped..." Yuan Shang showed a helpless smile on his face: "I didn't expect such a thing to happen, but this kind of thing was not in my expectation at all, maybe it wasn't because Xun Yu was guarding him." Is it? How could he be tricked by the emperor? The old boy Xun Yu is going back as he lives."

Pang Ji showed joy, and stepped forward to remonstrate: "Sign up, my lord! The emperor escaped from Xuchang, which is a god-sent opportunity for us! Cao Cao used the emperor to order the princes to command the world, and all government orders were issued by him. If my lord can take the opportunity to bring the emperor into Yecheng, coupled with our strong strength in Hebei and Guanzhong, it will be even better than Cao Cao! At that time, hegemony can be expected, and great things can be achieved!"

Yuan Shang lowered his head and thought about it quietly for a while, then shook his head and laughed, "I'm afraid it's not that easy."

Pang Ji was taken aback when he heard the words: "Why?"

Yuan Shang thought for a while, and said: "Guan Yu's going north to Yingchuan must be related to this matter. If there is no accident, the emperor fled Xudu, and Liu Bei must be an insider... But I don't understand..."

Yuan Shang frowned and said: "The emperor left Xudu, instead of going to Liu Bei's place, he ran west instead. What does he want to do?"

Ju Shou and Pang Ji looked at each other, bowed their heads together and remained silent, as if they couldn't figure out the key point.

"Because he wants to establish his own business and no longer depends on others."

A voice sounded at the door, followed by Sima Yi himself.

Sima Yi came to Yuan Shang, cupped his hands and said, "My lord, according to Yi's expectation, after the changes of Dong Zhuo, Li Jue and Cao Cao, the Son of Heaven's mind has changed drastically. It’s just the princes of one side, and they can’t be trusted at all! For the emperor now, it’s best for him to manage the government, command the army, and monopolize the whole power, and no longer rely on the power of others.”

Yuan Shang was stunned when he heard the words, bowed his head and thought for a while, then suddenly smiled.

"He wants to be Emperor Xiaowu, so he has to have that ability himself. Besides, who can be his father Yan? Who can be his Wei Qing and Huo Qubing?"

Sima Yi said: "Emperor Wei Qing and Huo Qubing may not have been found so far, but I am afraid that the mastermind of Wenzhi has been found by him. Otherwise, he would never give up going to Xiangyang and turn to the land of Sili."

Yuan Shang had some doubts, and said: "The world has been divided by all the princes. If the emperor wants to gain a foothold, where can he stand?"

Sima Yi said: "If Ruyi is not mistaken, the emperor may want to return to the old capital Luoyang."

Yuan Shang frowned: "Why?"

Sima Yi let out a long sigh, and said, "The Son of Heaven's chess move is wonderful. Luoyang's current situation is different from before. It is located at the intersection of the three lands, and it is the lord, Cao Zhi, and Liu Bei! Who among the three families wants to win the Son of Heaven? It will inevitably be resisted by the two families at the same time, while the emperor will deal with the three families, using imperial decrees to degrade or appease the three families, and he will use the prestige of the Han Dynasty to recruit troops and refuse to accept Hangu. , Sishui, and Hulao three passes. Re-establish the prestige of the Han Dynasty and reproduce the glory of the Tian Family."

At this point, Sima Yi paused and added: "Sima Ju, Xu He's rebellion, and Chang Xi's illicit liaison with Shang Yao's rebellion must all have something to do with the emperor."

Yuan Shang frowned upon hearing this, while Ju Shou stroked his beard in thought.

"The emperor's plan is wonderful. If we send troops to snatch the emperor now, we will face the joint confrontation between Cao and Liu. This is a wonderful move to check and balance the three families!" Sima Yi sighed conclusively.

Yuan Shang closed his eyes and thought for a while, then suddenly laughed, the smile was like a spring breeze, warm and harmonious.

People who don't know this smile will look very warm, but in the eyes of Sima Yi, Ju Shou, and Pang Ji, they will shudder.

This is Yuan Shang's usual smile every time he wants to plot against others.

"It's really weird these days. Any stinky salty fish like a cat or a dog wants to stand up and become a power of its own. It's just a dream."

Ju Shou coughed: "My lord, what you said is very disrespectful to the emperor."

Yuan Shang raised his eyebrows slightly: "I'm just talking casually, did you name the names? Mr. Ju is thinking too much."

Jushou's face twitched.

Sima Yi hesitated for a moment, and said, "My lord, do you have any ideas?"

Yuan Shang said with a smile: "The Son of Heaven wants to use the three families to restrain the three families and make the three families suspect each other. He will benefit from it, but Yuan does the opposite. Anyway, the Son of Heaven is never in my hands. I have him without him. They are all the same, I will find a way to unite the three families, and try to restrain the emperor in turn."

Sima Yi gasped when he heard the words, and said, "Yes, can you do it?"

Yuan Shang smiled warmly, and said: "It used to be that the Cao family took the emperor to order the princes. Now that the emperor can't bear the humiliation and has gone to Luoyang, I will come to the Yuan, Cao, and Liu families to hold the emperor together to order the princes. It is fair and just." , no one cheats, no one takes advantage of anyone."

"........."

****************************************
In the east of Sili, Cao Chong, Yuan Mai, and Deng Ai lived.

"Woooooo..." Cao Chong squatted on the ground, wiping his tears vigorously, and wept loudly.

Yuan Mai sighed helplessly, stepped forward and patted Cao Chong on the shoulder and said, "It's alright, it's alright, I almost cried twice, anyway, this jade seal doesn't belong to your family, why do you feel bad?"

Cao Chong shook his shoulders fiercely, and said angrily: "You don't feel sorry for you, Emperor Xishou! It has been passed down for many years, but today it is destroyed in my hands. If it gets out, I will be infamous for thousands of years, woo woo woo woo..."

Yuan Mai sighed helplessly, then turned his head and glanced at Deng Ai.

Deng Ai stepped forward to persuade and said: "Brothers Cao and Cao Chong, the old ones don't go to the new ones - the new ones don't, don't come, festivals - mourning."

Yuan Mai stepped forward quickly and said: "That's right, I'll introduce you to some high-quality pinks and oils tomorrow, just to relieve boredom."

Cao Chong shook his shoulders fiercely, and said angrily: "Is it you who persuaded others like this? I'm not like someone who is lovelorn and lacks a woman! I'm crying for a national treasure!"

"........."

Deng Ai scratched his head in distress, then rolled his eyeballs, and persuaded him: "Forget it, forget it, it will be broken if it is broken, it is better to chase after the emperor quickly! Don't lose the jade, the jade seal, Wouldn't it be a pity to lose the sky again—the Son of Heaven?"

Cao Chong glared at them bitterly and said: "You two are here to disrupt the situation for us, and the jade seal has been broken by me. I still want to grab the emperor!"

Deng Ai said with a smile: "Then, then we won't disturb the situation for you - we will help you to win the emperor! How about it?"

After finishing speaking, he winked slightly at Yuan Mai.

Yuan Mai understood it, and hurriedly said: "That's right, that's right, the jade seal was broken, it's our fault, the emperor will give it to you, it's all right."

Cao Chong stopped crying when he heard the words, and raised his head: "You two... Are you telling the truth?"

The two boys nodded hurriedly.

Cao Chong sniffled, stood up, and said with red eyes, "You keep your word."

"It must be true!"

The generals and soldiers on both sides were dumbfounded.

What is this called?He was chasing and snatching back and forth just now, so he gave up and made peace after a while?

What a childish heart!

Yan Yuan Wentu caught Deng Ai and Yuan Mai, Yan Yuan thought for a while, and said in a low voice: "Young masters, please forgive me for speaking bluntly, if we don't go after Cao Chong to snatch the emperor, we will already give him greatness." How can you agree to help him seize the throne? If the lord knows about this, I'm afraid..."

Deng Ai shook his head and said, "Schemes are all tricks—strategies!"

Yan Yuan was taken aback when he heard the words.

Yuan Mai said: "The two parties are fighting, and nothing can be done. Although I don't know how the emperor escaped from Xudu, but the fight between Yuan and Cao is to let the emperor's car go for nothing. It is better to unite first. , wait until you win the Son of Heaven, then take the opportunity to kill Cao Chong!"

On the other side, Dianman Xu Yi catches Cao Chong.

Xu Yi said in a naive voice: "Master, why bother! Those two boys are bullying too much? Why promise them to unite, why not let them go, let's go after them ourselves! Can't we get back the emperor?"

Cao Chong shook his head and said: "Do you think they are really helping me? They just want to stop fighting temporarily and seize the emperor's car after they are captured. But that's fine. If there is a disagreement between the two sides, the only way to let the emperor go is for nothing. , it’s better to join forces to chase them first, and after the big event is settled, it’s not too late to kill those two bastards!”

Therefore, the two armies pretended to join forces, and Cao Chong, Yuan Mai, and Deng Ai each had their own thoughts, and rushed towards the west again.

At this time, the emperor's car was already approaching Luoyang, and the huge city had loomed in the eye sockets of everyone.

Little tears flashed in Liu Xie's eyes unconsciously, recalling the past with infinite emotion.

Finally, finally let me come back. Back then, I lost everything in Luoyang City. Now, I want to get it back here!
Liu Xie was thinking about it, when he suddenly heard the sound of horseshoes, but a soldier from the rear clapped his horse forward and said: "Your Majesty, the big thing is not good, the soldiers and horses of Yuan and Cao have caught up again!"

Beside Liu Xie, Xu Shu frowned and said, "Two sides are catching up? How could it be two sides?"

"Yes, depending on the situation, they seem to have united and marched hand in hand! Your Majesty, what should we do?"
