Three Kingdoms New Emperor

Chapter 768 One Year Later
The butterfly effect theory says that a butterfly flapping its wings in the western Pacific can cause a storm in the eastern Pacific.

And Liu Xie, a butterfly who was not an aboriginal at all, flew around in the Three Kingdoms era at the end of Han Dynasty for six years, naturally messing up the entire Three Kingdoms.It's just that, although this kind of confusion has changed the trajectory of history, it is developing in a better direction in people's hearts, rather than making the tragic history so lonely and helpless.

Some people say that in the period of the Three Kingdoms at the end of the Han Dynasty, after all, there was no one who was a man of heaven and talent, so that the entire divided China could quickly return to unity.But for Liu Xie, who traveled through this era, he believed that the Three Kingdoms era was not because there were too few talented people, but on the contrary, there were too many: the current situation created heroes, and heroes also affected the current situation. The pace is naturally slow.

Now that the butterfly family is the only one of my own, it is good for this time and space.

Chang'an in this time and space is no longer the Chang'an that was once prosperous for a hundred years and turned into a dead city. People who tried to proclaim themselves emperors were wiped out one by one. The great people in history, except Liu Bei and Sun Ce, were weakened to varying degrees.The people under the Han Dynasty enjoyed peace, and the people under the other princes also lived relatively peacefully because their princes feared the power of the Han Dynasty and did not dare to use weapons rashly.

Sometimes Liu Xie thinks about it and feels that he still feels sorry for Cao Cao.After all, he is a person selected by history, but just because he knew this, he deliberately guarded against Cao Cao when he came up, so that after he should have unified the north in Guandu, he could only win the three states of Yan, Qing, and Xu.

Of course, this kind of thinking is just thinking.If it weren't for conditional restrictions, what Liu Xie wanted most was to destroy Cao Cao after the Guandu battle.

It's a pity that Cao Cao is too smart.In terms of orthodox morality, he sent envoys to pay tribute and profess his ministers. Except for some small tricks secretly, Liu Xie couldn't catch him at all; in terms of strategy, Cao Cao was also very cautious. In terms of personal ability, there is nothing to say, no matter how blackmailed Liu Xie is, and people tighten their belts to avoid catastrophe, that kind of generosity is really beyond human reach.

"Son, but don't worry, this Cao Cao is powerful. But you have to remember what Dad said to you, no matter how powerful a person is, there is nothing he can do in front of absolute strength. Dad has been fighting for more than a year. It's true that I've become a little lazy, but I haven't let go of my guard against Cao Cao." Liu Xie patted the swaddle in his hand, and said to the baby boy in his arms.

It's a pity that the baby boy in his arms couldn't understand what Liu Xie said at all, but stared at the few fluffy whiskers protruding from the corner of Liu Xie's mouth with great interest.He was spitting bubbles in his mouth, and stretched out his hand to pinch him, but Liu Xie was worried that he would catch a cold, so he forced the baby's little hand back into the swaddle, causing the baby to cry immediately.

The graceful and charming Empress Fushou of the Han Dynasty is now like a flourishing and fragrant peony, with an indescribable luxury in every gesture.She immediately glanced at Liu Xie, and stretched out her hand to hold the crying baby back into her arms. Her tone was resentful but still resembling spring breeze: "I talk to Yi'er all day long about family and country affairs, about the country and the country, can he understand?" ?”

"I will tell him if I don't understand. When I really understand, I don't want to say anything to him." Liu Xie raised his glass, and the surrounding civil and military immediately responded.

This year is the fifth year of Xingping, one year after the Han Dynasty army pacified Hebei.

This day is March [-]rd, which is the Fu Festival among the folk customs in the south of the Yangtze River. The common people have to go to the waterside to worship.It is said that it is a sacrifice, but in fact it is more of an outing.On this day, men and women, old and young, will wear brand-new clothes and bright jewelry, and go to the river by sedan chair, horseback riding, or on foot.

The river in spring is as bright as a mirror, sparkling, with flowers blooming on both sides of the river, green trees lined up, new buds spewing green in the fields, birds singing and butterflies dancing, full of vitality.The young men and women also let go of their arms, singing and laughing boldly, and no one would blame men and women for defense.

On this day, all the governments have a holiday, and officials will accompany their families out of the city.Liu Xie has always been an emperor who loves to have fun with the people, and he will never let this day go.However, this festival is more popular in the south, so Liu Xie could only use this excuse to bring his family members and a few confidantes to the banks of the Weishui River, sit on the ground and talk about the world.

"Speaking of the troubled times in Shenzhou, it has been more than a year since Your Majesty pacified Hebei, and the Han Dynasty has stopped fighting. Except for General Ma's place in Liangzhou and General Zhang's place in Youzhou, it seems that there are few people in the world this year. The sound of war." Anyuan General Xun You looked at the bright sky and couldn't help stroking his beard to comfort him.

"It's the war between Liangzhou and Youzhou. Isn't it because my Han family is in the manor and makes those Hu captives fight each other?" Yang Xiu, who is one year older, although he is no longer carrying a dice pot to show off his intelligence , but when speaking, there is still a hint of cynical gambler temperament.

Liu Xie's slightly mature face also showed the sly smile of his youth, and he couldn't help but smile at Yang Xiu: Everyone knows that the one who really wins in gambling is never the god of gamblers, but the king of gamblers. Casino guy.In the war between Liangzhou and Youzhou, the Han court played the role of the banker, not the banker, but the behind-the-scenes boss of the casino.

The matter of the role of the banker has to start from the time when Zhang Liao joined forces with Ke Bineng to attack Karasuma.At that time, the Karasuma tribe had tasted a series of preferential policies offered by Yuan Shao, and they no longer wanted to rely on the Han people.Therefore, even after Xian Yufu announced that the world would surrender to the Han Dynasty, these Karasuma people still resolutely resisted the Han army when the Yuan family was about to be destroyed.

It's a pity that Karasuma-sama's ideals are full, but the reality has dealt them a cruel blow.First of all, Zhang Liao, who was underestimated by them, performed extremely dazzlingly in the first decisive battle. He secretly united with Yan Rou as a bond of mutual trust with Ke Bineng, and used his personal risk to lure Karasuma's army into Han territory. , in the place of no end, let Karasuma's army end without any results.

At that time, Tian Yu had already led his troops to ambush Wushang, and Ke Bineng's army had already circled to the rear of the [-] army.As soon as the battle started, Zhang Liao showed his true skills, and the Bingzhou Wolf Rider, who had been holding back his anger for a long time, also showed his might.

After Zhang Liao yelled to kill, the Bingzhou wolf cavalry roared into the sky at the same time, as if the landslides and the earth were splitting, it was frightening. They came out in an orderly formation with their lengths of eight feet flat, much stronger than those on the prairie. The descendants of the warrior Geng Canglang, with the deafening sound of wind and thunder, quickly rushed to the battlefield where people and horses were mixed, and rushed to the arrogant Karasuma army.

Zhang Liao's move could actually defeat Karasuma's army steadily, not to mention, Tian Yu broke out from the ambush again, and the Xianbei warriors behind cut off their retreat.In that battle, it is said that the Karasuma tribe, which had managed to unite with great difficulty, suffered heavy losses and was killed to the point of bloodshed. The real leader of the Karasuma army was also beheaded by Zhang Liao just like in history.

Since then, Zhang Liao's prestige has greatly spread in northern Xinjiang. If Karasuma's children are disobedient, the adults will use Zhang Liao's name to intimidate them. It can be seen that Zhang Liao's battle left Karasuma with deep-seated fear.

After that battle, Liu Xie ordered Zhang Liao, Tian Yu and others to leave the battlefield.Instead, he used his identity as a peacemaker to mediate the disputes between the foreign races outside the Great Wall, and really became the behind-the-scenes boss who opened the handicap.

At that time, Ke Bineng had become powerful and intended to annex the three tribes of Xianbei in the west.Tian Yu's ingenious tricks repeatedly made the Western Xianbei and Karasuma unite again to fight against Ke Bineng.Then Zhang Liao threatened with force, Xianbei and Karasuma fought and fought, and finally found out that most of their tribes had turned to the Han family instead.

On the Liangzhou battlefield, Ma Chao's reputation was already greater than that of Zhang Liao.He was born with a noble tree facing the wind, brave and invincible, and the Qiang people respected a hero like him the most.On the Liangzhou battlefield, the Han Dynasty had long played the role of the behind-the-scenes boss, and played it more smoothly and maturely: on the one hand, Ma Chao was the model of combat power; on the other hand, Yang Fu and Jiang Jiong As the leader, he wantonly won the hearts of the Qiang people.

The Qiang people who entered the border have actually become a half-animal husbandry and half-agricultural people. Compared with the Hu people in Youzhou, they still recognize the rule of the Han Dynasty.Taking this opportunity, Yang Fu and Jiang Jiong carried out large-scale publicity activities in accordance with Liu Xie's philosophy of the Han Rong family, and actively contacted the tribal leaders of the Qiang tribe, and selected some typical examples of leaning towards the Han as demonstrations, gradually encroaching on the Iron Qiang Alliance living space.

Of course, Ma Chao played the greatest role during this period.Kindness in troubled times is mostly weakness, especially for this kind of foreign race that has surrendered a century-old enmity, it needs to be used together with swords and guns.

During the days when he was separated from Liu Xie to guard Liangzhou, Ma Chao had wiped out dozens of Qianghu tribes that did not belong to him, and had captured more than [-] men and children, all of whom moved to Yongzhou to settle down. .On the land of Liangzhou, when the name of General Tian is mentioned now, the various tribes of the Qiang people either surrender or flee.

At the beginning of the new year and the spring, Yang Fuhao, who joined Liu Xie in Chang'an, got it right.Afterwards, he summoned his confidantes, civil and military, to study for another three days, and Liu Xie asked Yang Fu to bring a letter to Ma Chao: I once promised to help you avenge the murder of your father. Now is the time...

It is said that Ma Chao, who heard the news, got drunk from the pain and howled all night long.As for Liu Xie, he could only shake his head in Chang'an and express: After defeating Han Sui, he will find a marriage for Ma Chao. Look at what this child has become...

Thinking of this, Liu Xie couldn't help but smile.But at this moment, Leng Shouguang, the Zhongchang servant, hurried over, took out a secret letter and handed it to Liu Xie.Liu Xie, who opened the letter, couldn't help being overjoyed, and then passed the secret letter to everyone.

I saw that there were only six words on it: Liu Yan in Yizhou died of illness!
