Jagged hegemony of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 378

"Fortunately, the emperor ordered that during the period of Liaozhou, Liu Wei, the king of Liao, was cruel, cruel, poisoned the people, oppressed the good, and even privately mobilized his troops to destroy the three tribes of the Xiongnu, Xianbei, and Wuheng, the friendly neighbors of my great Han. I thought Liu Wei was a good person, but I didn't expect this thief to be so rampant. After destroying the alien race, he even swung his knife at the general and pointed the sharp blade in his hand at Youji. I am very disappointed in King Liao. For all titles of Wei, if Liu Wei is willing to subdue the law, it is acceptable, but if Liu Wei resists the order and does not obey it, all the princes of the world must send troops to attack Liu Wei, otherwise it will be a rebellion and failure to obey the order! Thank you!"

Above Xudu's court hall, Zhao Xuan, the eunuch next to Liu Xie, read out the imperial edict in his shrill voice.

"Write a few more copies of the imperial decree, seal it with the jade seal, and send it to all the princes in the world, ordering them to attack Liu!"

After Cao Cao finished speaking, he saluted Liu Xie, and then said, "Your Majesty, the crusade against Liu Wei is of great importance. I must personally lead my troops there!"

"The prime minister is right, so you can go there yourself!"

Liu Xie said to Cao Cao expressionlessly, and couldn't tell whether it was joy or sadness.

"Cao Hong, this matter is up to you!"

Cao Cao passed the imperial decree in his hand to Cao Hong, and said.

"The minister must pass the imperial decree to the hands of the princes, so as not to disgrace the mission of the emperor and the prime minister!"

Cao Hong punched Liu Xie and Cao Cao respectively, and then received the imperial edict with a sinister smile on his face.

If you want to say who among the Cao army hates Liu Wei the most, it must be Cao Hong. Cao Hong has lost face several times because although Liu Wei did not directly cause his embarrassment, he was scared by Liu Wei's cannon. Liu Wei's subordinate Huang Xu was knocked off his horse with one move. These things on May Day have nothing to do with Liu Wei.

Let’s talk about Liu Wei, just after taking down the entire Beihai County, he heard the news from Jin Yiwei in Xudu that Cao Cao had teamed up with Yuan Shao to deal with him together. Liu Wei was not surprised when he heard the news, it surprised him The most important thing is that Liu Xie issued an imperial edict to crusade against him, and ordered the princes of the whole world to crusade against him. This frightened Liu Wei so much that he even broke out in a cold sweat.

After Liu Wei stood blankly with the letter in his hand for a long time, a gust of cold wind blew past, which made Liu Wei recover, and hurriedly shouted: "Come on, hurry up and pass on the two military advisors, go!"

At this time, Liu Wei was in a panic, because Liu Wei's news was too shocking. He was confident that he could deal with Yuan Shao and Cao Cao joining hands, and even had the confidence to defeat these two people, but the princes all over the world joined forces. There are more than a dozen more, if they come to attack Liaozhou together, even if Liu Wei has great abilities, he will not be able to jump for a few days.

"Lord!"

After a while, Guo Jia and Xu Shu came together. After seeing Liu Wei, Guo Jia asked.

"The big thing is not good. Cao Mengde wants all the princes in the world to attack me. This is Liu Wei who is going to kill me!"

Liu Wei said in panic.

Guo Jia was also taken aback, looked at Liu Wei and asked, "My lord, is this serious?"

Liu Wei smiled bitterly and said, "Do you think I'll lie to you?"

Guo Jia had never seen Liu Wei like this before, so he knew that Liu Wei was not joking, so he said: "Then this matter is serious. Although our Liaozhou Army is brave, but there are not so many people. Now We took Youzhou and half of Qingzhou again, and our troops were too scattered, so we only have 5 soldiers and horses in our hands. If the princes of the whole country come to attack me, then the situation will be a bit bad for us !"

"Yes! This is a secret letter from Xu Du, please take a look!"

Liu Wei handed the secret letter on the table to Guo Jia and Xu Shu.

After the two finished watching, they almost jumped up.

"My lord, the only plan for now is to withdraw all our soldiers and horses, and then we withdraw to the west of Liaoning. According to the tall city in the west of Liaoning, it is possible to block the enemy's attack!"

Xu Shu said.

"Well, I'm afraid there is no other way to do it!"

Liu Wei sighed.

"My lord, can Cao Cao really mobilize all the soldiers and horses in the world? How can you listen to Cao Cao's order if there is a dispute today, and the princes from all walks of life are fighting on their own!"

After Guo Jia pondered for a moment, he spoke.

"Hehe, the princes of all walks of life don't listen to Cao Cao's orders, but they can't violate Liu Xie's imperial decree in the open, otherwise they will be resisting the decree and not obeying the decree, and they will be called rebels just like us! "

Liu Wei said.

"Rebel, Rebel, Rebel!"

Guo Jia kept repeating these words.

Suddenly, a gleam flashed in Guo Jia's eyes, and he said, "Master, I remember that there is something in your hand. This thing represents the orthodoxy of a big man. You have him. You don't have to be afraid of Cao Cao's hand." Here's the imperial decree!"

Liu Wei also suddenly realized, his eyes sparkled, and then he said: "Feng Xiao, you are talking about... Chuan Guo Yuxi?"

Few people know about the fact that the Imperial Jade Seal is in Liu Wei's hands, because although there are rumors from the outside world, this matter has not been acknowledged.

Originally, Liu Wei didn't intend to use the Chuanguo Seal, because if the Chuanguo Seal was in his hands, but he didn't return it to Liu Xie, it would be a big treason to hide the Chuanguo Seal privately.

"That's right, it's exactly this thing. My lord has the Jade Seal of Chuanguo in my hand, why don't you also write an imperial decree and show the imperial decree to the princes, and let them go with you, my lord, to attack Cao Cao and Yuan Shao. Wouldn't it be beautiful! "

Guo Jia said.

"This!"

Liu Wei showed a look of embarrassment, and then said: "Although it can be like this, but if it is like this. Doesn't that mean that I am a traitor who secretly kept the Jade Seal of the Kingdom?"

"Hehe, my lord, I said to take out the imperial decree, but I didn't say that I would ask you to take out the Jade Seal of Chuanguo. Think about it, the imperial decree is different from the Jade Seal of Chuanguo. You can say that the imperial decree was given to you secretly by Liu Xie or the first emperor." Yes, in this way, no one in the world will doubt you!"

Guo Jia answered.

"Good plan!"

Liu Wei clapped his hands.

"inappropriate!"

At this time Xu Shu spoke.

"Why not?"

Liu Wei and Guo Jia looked at Xu Shu together.

"My lord, do you think the princes in the world care about their own reputation? Even if they do, they can stay sick. All the princes here are sincere enemies of the lord. Do you think they will withdraw their troops just because of a decree? Is it? My lord, this subordinate thinks that the purpose of the princes who came here was not to be a loyal minister for the order of the emperor, but because they were afraid that the lord would threaten them in the future, so they sent troops!"

Xu Shu said.

"Then we don't need to pass on the Imperial Seal?"

Liu Wei asked.

"No, the Chuan Guo Yuxi is still needed. The Chuan Guo Yuxi is used to wash away the lord's rebellion, but if you expect them to withdraw because of the imperial decree printed with the Chuan Guo Yuxi, then don't think about it!"

Xu Shu spoke again.

"Okay, then I will order Jushou to write an imperial edict with Chuan Guo Yuxi!"
