Return to the Three Kingdoms with the Empire System

Chapter 459 Liu Biao bows his head
Liu Xie looked at Ye Fu's satisfied expression after holding the imperial edicts, and he also showed a similarly satisfied expression.

Liu Xie is not stupid, how could he not know that Ye Mo's plans for the so-called princes of the Han Dynasty will help him unify the Han Dynasty as soon as possible.It's just that Liu Xie had been a little worried about Ye Mo before, and many of those princes were relatives of the Han family, so Liu Xie never mentioned this matter.

Now, since Liu Biao has used troops privately without the consent of the court, and Liu Xie also knows the loyalty of the Ye family, there is nothing to worry about.

Moreover, Liu Xie felt a little guilty at the moment, otherwise he wouldn't have handed over these edicts to Ye Fu so readily.

After Ye Fu received these imperial decrees, he also knew the priorities.First of all, the letter from Ma Chao was the first to be sent out.After all, Ma Chao has already ruled the Qiang people in territories other than the Han Dynasty. If there is no imperial decree, there is always a sense of becoming a king on his own.

After Ma Chao, there was Cao Cao of Qingzhou.Although Cao Cao said that he took away Ye Mo's dock in Qingzhou, Qingzhou where Cao Cao is located is close to the sea and east of Luoyang.Ye Fu sent the imperial edict to Cao Cao in such a hurry, not without the intention of using Cao Cao as the first line of defense.

Although the relationship between Cao Cao and the imperial court must be a bit stiff now, after Cao Cao got the imperial edict, Ye Fu can guarantee that Cao Cao will not put it on the shelf.

After all, with this imperial decree, Cao Cao had sufficient reasons to open a government office and build a mansion in Qingzhou, and to recruit soldiers and horses.

When the imperial edict was issued to Ma Chao and Cao Cao, Gongsun Zan and Liu Yu also received the imperial edict at the same time.However, because Gongsun Zan was originally a general with a strong will to defend Huo, he naturally accepted the imperial edict.

But Liu Yuzhen, just as Ye Mo guessed, finally rejected the imperial edict because he was worried about another dispute between the ethnic groups.On the day Liu Yu refused to accept the imperial decree, he was assassinated and died.

As soon as Liu Yu died, Youzhou was in chaos.Not to mention anything else, although Liu Yu was a civil servant, he had many generals under him.Moreover, Liu Yu had many generals and soldiers from Xianbei and Wuhuan.

However, Gongsun Zan was ready before these people made a mess.Gongsun Zan was not stupid either. After hearing the news of Liu Yu's death, he knew that there must be a battle in Youzhou.

Although Xianbei and Wuhuan are both barbarians, they plot against each other and cannot use their strength in one direction.Moreover, after the chaos in Youzhou, Liaodong also sent Gongsun Du to lead troops to support Gongsun Zan.

That's right, the general leading the troops in Liaodong was Gongsun Du.In Ye Mo's previous life, this man was the real governor of Liaodong.

And in this life, because of Xu Rong's recommendation, Chang Lin also approached Gongsun Du who was at home with free gifts, and showed Xu Rong's recommendation letter to Gongsun Du.

Although Gongsun Du had great ambitions in his heart, he also saw the changes that Chang Lin brought to Liaodong after his arrival in Liaodong.Therefore, Gongsun Du was also very knowledgeable about current affairs, so he took up the post of Cao Cao official in Liaodong.

Chang Lin was very relieved to hand over the military power to Gongsun Du. Apart from Chang Lin himself being good at government affairs, he knew that Ye Mo had arranged a hidden army in Liaodong.It was precisely because of this that Chang Lin dared to hand over the gun to others.

Speaking of Youzhou, after Gongsun Zan received the support of Gongsundu, he drove Wuhuan and Xianbei people out of the border of Youzhou in a destructive manner.

After conveying the imperial decree, Ye Fu did not let Liu Biao in Jingzhou go.

Although Liu Biao was still at war with the imperial court at this time, if the imperial edict is issued now, there may be unexpected gains.

Facts have proved that Ye Fu's conjecture is not unreasonable.

After Ye Mo took down Wancheng with his army, he was not in a hurry to take the army to Xiangyang.After all, the imperial army marched all the way, and there was no siege weapon, even if they rushed to Xiangyang, they would not be able to take Xiangyang in an instant.

But stopping in Wancheng will cause different results. Although it will give the defenders of Xiangyang more preparation time, but at the same time, it will also give the people of Xiangyang more time to escape from Xiangyang.

In this era, wars are not only about the economy, but also the population.

If Ye Mo directly leads an army of [-] to encircle Xiangyang, let alone whether he can win, at least if there is a war, Ye Mo will be at a disadvantage.

Xiangyang is a big city. How many people will there be in it and how much food will be stored there?

If Liu Biao really mobilized those common people, it would be really difficult for Ye Mo to escape from Xiangyang in less than half a year.

In Xiangyang, Liu Biao held the imperial decree in his hand, frowning deeply, he could put a book in it.

"Father, just think about things slowly, don't get tired." Just when Liu Biao was at a loss in the study, Liu Biao's second son came in with a bowl of ginseng soup.

After Liu Biao heard his son's words, a smile suddenly appeared on his face.Although Liu Biao is old now, his two sons are smart and very fond of Liu Biao.

"It turns out that Cong'er is here, why don't you go to bed at this time?" Although it was not late at night, but it was already getting late, so Liu Biao said to Liu Cong pretending to be displeased.

Seeing Liu Biao's behavior, Liu Cong thought Liu Biao was angry, so he quickly explained: "My son saw that my father was tired late at night, so I ordered my servants to cook a bowl of ginseng soup, hoping that my father can take care of himself."

"Ah..." Liu Biao took a long breath after hearing what Liu Cong said.Liu Biao originally wanted to use troops against Yangzhou in order to firmly pull the Kuai family and the Cai family to his side, but he didn't want to ignore the court's opinion and thus bring disaster to Jingzhou.

Moreover, the news that Kuai Yue took refuge in Ye Mo was also learned by Liu Biao a few days ago, which made Liu Biao feel palpitations.Kuai Yue took refuge in Ye Mo, so it goes without saying that Kuai Liang had the same meaning as Kuai Yue.

Although there is no news of Kuai Liang's dissent from Yangzhou, Liu Biao has no hope for Kuai Liang.

At this time, looking at Liu Cong who was so sensible in front of him, Liu Biao didn't know what to do.

If Liu Biao followed the imperial decree, it would be difficult for Liu Biao and the others to gain power in the future.But if we don't do this, maybe Liu Biao and his lineage will have no future.

How could Liu Biao not hear about Ye Mo's abilities?It's just that Liu Biao has always tried not to believe those rumors.But at this time, after Ye Mo easily captured Wancheng, how could Liu Biao let himself ignore Ye Mo?
"What a scheming person, what a scheming person!" At this time, Liu Biao couldn't help sighing as he looked at the ginseng soup brought over by Liu Cong himself.

Ye Mo then took the opportunity to use troops against Jingzhou, using force to make Liu Biao feel the pressure.Afterwards, the imperial court issued an imperial decree, giving Liu Biao a way out.No matter how you look at it, it was all designed by the court before.

Liu Cong was very surprised when Liu Biao said these words suddenly, and he couldn't understand what Liu Biao wanted to say for a moment.

Looking at Liu Cong, Liu Biao also showed a trace of tenderness in his eyes, then stroked Liu Cong's head and said, "Cong'er, tomorrow you will go to Wancheng to find Lord Ye, and say that as a father, you must obey His Majesty's will."
