Three Kingdoms New Emperor

Chapter 717 The Jade Belt Conspiracy
Outside of Chang'an, Yuan Cao's battle touched the hearts of people all over the world.In Chang'an, the arrival of Cao Cao's envoy also filled the whole Chang'an with a breath of restlessness.But when everyone inside and outside Chang'an looked outside, one person in Chang'an stubbornly looked at the majestic Weiyang Palace, his eyes flashed with wild hope.

Zuo Zhonglang Liu Fan's mansion is naturally located in the noble palace of Chang'an.In fact, Liu Xie has always treated the pigs he raises well.Liu Fan's house was originally owned by Li Jue, a general under Dong Zhuo's command.After Li Jue was eradicated, Liu Xie turned the mansion into a "pigsty" with a wave of his hand.

At this time in the main hall, the servants were busy cleaning up the messy banquet. There was still a lot of food left on a few small tables. It seemed that the visitors were careless and did not have much appetite.

However, the purpose of Liu Fan's banquet today is not for those people.Behind the main hall, there is a corridor and a small garden. Several black-clothed servants are hidden or appearing in the courtyard, and further inside is the inner house of General Zuo Zhonglang.In the inner house, besides Liu Fan, there is another person.

That person had disappeared in the court hall of the Han Dynasty for a long time. He was the one who flattered Liu Xie with Dong Cheng, but accidentally photographed Pang Xi, who was on the horse's hoof.

Pang Xi had a good family relationship with Liu Yan in his early years, and after the incident of slapping a horse's hoof, his heart became even closer to Liu Fan, who had a similar illness.Especially this year, Pang Xi is approaching the age of [-], but although the Han Dynasty is getting stronger and stronger, Pang Xi's presence in the Han court is getting smaller and smaller.This made his mentality gradually change under the wasted years of his life.

No, or rather, Pang Xi is getting stronger and stronger.After all, in history, he was not the kind of person willing to be mediocre.

Today, Liu Fan invited him here by hosting a banquet to deceive others, which was an opportunity that Pang Xi had been waiting for.

At this moment, Liu Fan is holding a gorgeous jade belt in his hand. The jade belt has been cut by sharp objects, and the white lining is exposed at the edge.Pang Xi, who was on the side, looked at Yudai with a trace of awe and unconcealable enthusiasm in his eyes.

"Nephew, is this serious?" Pang Xi's tone was urgent, with a hint of worrying about gain and loss.

"With the jade belt as evidence, it is naturally true. What's more, Yuan Shao has always respected the young emperor as Zhengshuo, and regarded Liu Xie's Han Dynasty as a false dynasty. This person has been planning to establish a new dynasty to fight against Liu Xie's false dynasty. It's such a great opportunity, why didn't he do it?" There was a trace of paranoia in Liu Fan's sentence, and even when he saw a trace of doubt in Pang Xi's eyes, he couldn't help but get angry.

But Pang Xi is still very conflicted at the moment. He hopes that the "Jade Belt Conspiracy" in front of him is true, but also worries that he will be involved in it for no reason: "Yuan Benchu ​​is a man with deep scheming, and he is best at manipulating others as puppets. Taking advantage of Gongsun Zan's power, he stole the Hanwen Festival Jizhou. Who knows if today he just wants to use you and me, so that the Han Dynasty can't go east?"

"The humble theory is not worth the effort!" Liu Fan's anger became more obvious, and he even ignored the friendship between Pang Xi and his father, and bluntly taught Pang Xi: "Uncle Pang only uses Yuan Shao to borrow you and me as restraint, which is forgiven. My nephew bluntly said that this is nothing more than judging the heart of a gentleman with the heart of a villain. Today, Yuan Shao is dominant in the three prefectures of Ji, You, and Qing, far from Yuan Benchu ​​who was once under the fence!"

"Not to mention that everyone in the world knows that Yuan Benchu ​​has been in power for a long time. If he doesn't establish a new dynasty, how can he rule the world? Because of this, only when he supports me as the new emperor can Yuan Benchu ​​show his strength. This time he personally One hundred thousand troops marching south, if it is said that it is only for Cao Mengde, it is really a thousand-weight crossbow, and it is launched for mice. Uncle Pang thinks, is he the kind of person who doesn't know the importance?"

Pang Xi frowned deeply, he had to admit that everything Liu Fan said was reasonable: a hundred thousand troops marched south just for one Cao Mengde, it was actually a bit of a brute force to kill a chicken.And if it is said that it is to take advantage of this opportunity to overturn the Han Dynasty and sweep away the obstacles to Jingping the world, then this is a bit of Yuan Benchu's style.

Because of this, Pang Xi couldn't help raising his eyes to look at Liu Fan in front of him again: he had to admit that among Liu Yan's four sons, except Liu Mao who entered Shu with Liu Yan because of his early death, there was only this one. The eldest son, Liu Fan, bears the shadow of Liu Yan, who is deeply scheming and unparalleled in planning.

"Then what exactly is said in this jade belt?" After a little firming his mind, Pang Xi couldn't help turning his attention to the jade belt.

"It's the details of the strategy to help me replace it." Seeing that he had persuaded Pang Xi, Liu Fan couldn't help but feel a little complacent, shaking the jade belt in his hand and said: "It said that Yuan Shao will arrange people to create some turmoil in Chang'an, so I can't help it." Let us take advantage of the chaos to kill Liu Xie. At that time, we only need to hide ourselves, and Yuan Shao will immediately send his general Guo Yuan to invade the land of Sanhe in solidarity. Then he will write another memorial to enter the court to help I am the new emperor of the Han Dynasty!"

Hearing this, Pang Xi's eyes couldn't help but shine a bit: before he doubted Yuan Shao, it was just because of his suspicious character.But now that this strategy appeared, he has [-]% confidence in Yuan Shao helping Liu Fan.

Who would have thought that Yuan Shao's massive southward expedition against Cao Cao was just a deception in his grand plan.When the Kanto is in turmoil and the situation is chaotic, there must be a lot of Yuan Shao who took the opportunity to sneak into Chang'an.It really only needs a chaos that alarms the emperor, and Liu Fan and Pang Xi can take the opportunity to kill Liu Xie.

Even if things don't go well, don't worry too much.After all, Liu Xie has no heirs. After the death of the emperor, the first thing the ministers of the Manchu Dynasty should consider is to establish a new emperor!
Especially at that time, Guo Yuan, the general sent by Yuan Shao, would put great pressure on the Han Dynasty, and all voices would be overwhelmed by the phrase "A country cannot live without a king".Afterwards, Yuan Shao sent a letter to Chang'an, and the Han Dynasty was leaderless, who would dare to ignore the opinion of the most powerful man in the country?
In the end, Liu Fan will inevitably be in the Ninth Five-Year position, and at that time, can't Liu Fan let Liu Xie's death become a muddled history?
Such a seamless plan is enough to prove that what is in front of Pang Xi at this time is not a dangerous trap, nor is it an illusory fantasy, but a real opportunity with a high success rate!

At this moment, Pang Xi's heart was moved, and he couldn't help but follow Yuan Shao's ingenious plan: "Since Yuan Benchu ​​said that he would provide us with an opportunity for chaos, what we need to do now is to fight. It's a pity that Liu Xie is cautious and suspicious by nature, he holds all the soldiers and horses of the Han Dynasty in his hands like an iron bucket, and we have no chance to intervene..."

"This matter is indeed the most difficult part of all plans, but..." When he said this, Liu Fan couldn't help grinning, and took out a talisman in his arms and said: "This is Yuan Shao. To mobilize the secret talisman of the Heaven-Assassin Cao, he has given me the dispatch of the [-] Heaven-Assassin Caos in Chang'an City as a show of sincerity. Besides, there is one more thing I believe in."

"What?"

"Under the heavy reward, there must be a brave man!" Liu Fan dropped the words generously, then clapped his hands, and asked people to carry out several large boxes, and said to Pang Xi: "All these secret matters are left to Pang Xi." Uncle's plan. Best, I don't need to use this talisman when I act!"

Pang Xi looked at those big boxes and knew that they were secretly given to Liu Fan by Liu Yan these years.Naturally, such a huge number was not only for the purpose of making Liu Fan well-fed.Thinking about Liu Fan's last words, Pang Xi suddenly became deeply wary of Liu Yan, the father and son: if you don't use someone who stabs Cao Cao, the danger of Liu Fan and Yuan Shao's collusion will be exposed at the least... A pair of father and son really prepared a lot for the strategy of this world.

But just when the two of them were secretly discussing the plan, there was a small commotion in front of them.Immediately afterwards, a servant in black appeared in front of Liu Fan and said, "My lord, Leng Shouguang, the servant of Zhongchang, came to deliver a message."

"Send the message? Who's the message?... No, why did he come?" Liu Fan couldn't help being alert for a moment, but suddenly realized that he was stupid: Leng Shouguang, who was by Liu Xie's side all day long, could not leave Liu Xie. In addition to the words, who else would he pass on?

"It means that His Majesty hosted a banquet in Jianzhang Palace and invited the Lord to the banquet..."

"Jianzhang Palace?" Liu Fan's face suddenly changed, and the aura of pointing Jiangshan just now seemed to disappear completely because of this sentence, and he became a little panicked: You know, the first time in Jianzhang Palace, Liu Xie just clicked Counted the three of their brothers.This time he was the only one attending the banquet, so...

"This Liu Xie, what on earth is he thinking?!" Liu Fan couldn't help but say out, he was really terrified of his own line of work: That young man is too insidious after all!
