Although Jian Shuo had told Liu Hong that the war in Jizhou was optimistic, in fact, facing the Bingzhou Yellow Turban Army led by Xu An, who would dare to say that it was a sure victory.

And the retreat of King Wuhuanqiao's trilogy was not because of the Han army in Jizhou, but they had finished looting and looting a lot. At this time, there were changes in the north, so they withdrew from Jizhou.

Even if Liu Xie is really established as emperor, it is not difficult for the He family to abolish it.

Now the He family has one family and two generals, He Jin is the great general, he is granted the title of Marquis of Shen, commanding the forbidden army, and the head of the capital.

"I know that the He family is very powerful, and if Liu Xie is established as the emperor, there must be some people in the court who oppose it, and there must be many people who oppose it."

Liu Hong also saw Jian Shuo's worries. He actually didn't know about Jian Shuo's worries, but although Liu Bian was 13 years old, his mind was not as good as Liu Xie's.

Moreover, he is really indecisive, he is obedient to Empress He, and he listens to He Jin's words.

If Liu Bian was really established as emperor, then he would be nothing more than a puppet emperor. The He family would definitely be able to use their status as foreign relatives to override Liu Bian, and even turn him into a puppet with strings.

Liu Hong's eyes flickered, and a killing intent flashed in his eyes.

He was pulled out from the Interpretation Pavilion at the beginning, and succeeded to the throne in the Luoyang imperial palace, trembling like walking on thin ice, living cautiously for a long time, always living under the shadow of his foreign relative Dou Shi.

Liu Hong knew that feeling, he knew that feeling, he didn't believe in any Jin, he didn't want to hand over the world of this big man to He Jin, a brainless pig butcher, and he was still an idiot who took refuge in the aristocratic family.

For the aristocratic family, for the powerful, Liu Hong has always sneered and hated it.

Liu Bian is definitely not a good candidate for the emperor. On the contrary, Liu Xie is more valued by Liu Hong. Although he is only eight years old, Liu Xie has already shown intelligence that is far different from ordinary people.

Every time Liu Hong took the school exams, Liu Xie was able to answer the questions fluently, even excluding the files he had read, he could also answer his own opinions.

Moreover, Liu Xie acted resolutely and never shirked responsibility. As the saying goes, three years old see big things. Liu Hong felt that when Liu Xie grows up, he will definitely become a generation of Mingjun, and he will definitely be able to rejuvenate the great man.

Liu Hong's face was pale, and he tried his best to say: "Now I am a big man with both internal and external troubles, surrounded by tigers, leopards and wolves. The world must not be handed over to the He family, and it must not be handed over to He Jin and those damn party members!"

"so!"

Liu Hong's face was solemn and his tone was extremely stern.

Liu Hong tightly grasped Jian Shuo's clothes, and stared at Jian Shuo aside.

Jian Shuo felt a little timid when he looked at Liu Hong's captivating gaze. Under the dim light, Liu Hong's face looked extremely terrifying.

"I just called you back to Beijing."

Liu Hong's face was gloomy and cold, and his voice seemed to come from under the Nine Netherworld.

"He Jin is not a planner, he has already been controlled by the party members, the three states are in rebellion, there are internal worries and external troubles, my big man is in turmoil now, and the powerful families are all watching the wind and wanting to profit from it."

Liu Hong stared at Jian Shuo with bloodshot eyes, and said in a deep voice.

"I have lived with Mrs. He for a long time. I know her temperament very well. She is stubborn and jealous. There are no concubines and maids in the harem who are not afraid of her."

Liu Hong looked solemn, and said: "If the throne falls to Prince Bian, then according to her temperament, she will definitely not give Liu Xie a way out, nor will she give you a way out, even..."

Liu Hong secretly glanced at the Empress Dowager Dong behind her, and winked at Jian Shuo.

Jian Shuo's heart tightened slightly. The former beauty Wang Rong gave birth to the prince Liu Xie. Empress He sent someone to poison Wang Rong with poisoned wine. Liu Hong was furious because of this, and wanted to depose Empress He from the position of empress. Zhang Rang, Zhao Zhong and other eunuchs We have to give up only after we resolutely dissuade them.Later, the prince Liu Xie was raised and taught by the Empress Dowager Dong himself, and he was called Dong Hou.

According to Empress He's personality, after Liu Hong's death, he and Liu Xie must have a difficult end...

Even Empress He might attack Empress Dowager Dong.

And this one might not be small...

Liu Hong looked up at Haoyue above his head, and murmured: "Once Liu Bian succeeds to the throne, my great man's throne will even fall into the hands of an aristocratic family. Whether the lord of the world is surnamed 'Liu' may not be known..."

"Promise me, Jian Shuo."

"Promise me, you will definitely support Liu Xie to succeed to the throne, help Liu Xie control the court, and stabilize my great Han country, so that I will not be stolen by Xiao Xiao and the family..."

Liu Hong's voice became weaker and weaker.

"call----"

The long wind howled and blew past the top floor of the Star Picking Building.

"If only I... stayed in the interpretation booth with my mother... it would be fine..."

Liu Hong looked at the stars all over the sky, and slowly closed his eyes.

His throat felt like a pinprick and he couldn't speak, he felt his body getting heavier and heavier, and the only strength he had was disappearing from his body.

Jian Shuo supported Liu Hong and tried his best not to let Liu Hong fall down.

He raised his sleeve to wipe the tears from his face, but soon more tears came out, and the tears blurred his vision and blurred his eyelids.

Liu Hong leaned on Jian Shuo's shoulder, as if he had fallen asleep.

Chapter 383

Luoyang City, the General's Mansion.

The morning of October [-]th.

The General's Mansion used to be full of people, but the atmosphere in the past few days has been extremely dull.

Wearing a solid armor and holding a sharp blade, the soldier patrolled nervously around the general's mansion, keeping an eye out for Xiaoxiao in all directions.

The atmosphere in the palace became more and more tense. The Embroidered Cloth Messenger took over the situation around Houde Hall, and the guards guarding the palace were replaced by guards controlled by General Dong Zhong.

Dong Zhong is the nephew of Empress Dowager Dong, and the emperor is surrounded by people who are close to him.

Smart people have already guessed that the emperor's body is slowly deteriorating, and I am afraid that time is running out.

In the general's mansion, a group of school lieutenants and subordinates gathered in the courtyard, all of them looked extremely solemn.

In the house, everyone sat in a row, and no one made a sound, as if they were all lost in thought.

"A few days ago, there was news that Lu Ziqian had completely taken over the upper barracks and led the main force of the Han army in Jizhou to Boluo Pavilion. However, Jian Shuo failed in his struggle for power and was humiliated by Lu Ziqian, so he said he was sick."

The Chief Shi Wang Qian of the General's Mansion opened his mouth to break the dull atmosphere in the mansion.

"The timing was too coincidental. I thought that Jian Shuo might not be in Jizhou anymore, but was heading towards Luoyang in the starry night."

"During this period of time, the 'moth thieves' of the four prefectures revolted, the rebels attacked from all directions, and the three prefectures joined forces. It was extremely powerful, but the emperor lived in the deep palace and ignored the government. This is obviously extremely unreasonable. ..."

Cao Cao, who was sitting on the side, narrowed his eyes slightly, and a flash of light flashed in his eyes.

"It's really unreasonable, this time is too coincidental."

Cao Cao put his hands on the desk, frowned, and said in a deep voice.

"Zhang Rang, Zhao Zhong and others have no way to meet the emperor. During this period of time, those who have seen the emperor are all observing from a distance. No one has seen the face of the emperor. I'm afraid..."

"I'm afraid the Son of Heaven is too ill to manage affairs, so I want to ask Jian Shuo to come back and preside over his funeral."

Yuan Shao took Cao Cao's words, his voice was very cold, making people feel a little cold unconsciously.

"And the position of crown prince has been vacant for a long time and has not been established. You all know that the emperor has always valued Dong Hou more..."

Yuan Shao's words made He Jin, who was sitting in the first seat, as if someone had poured cold water on him, from head to toe, and even his heart was half cold.

When Liu Xie was not yet full-term, the emperor took Liu Xie to Yongle Palace and asked Empress Dowager Dong to raise him. Since then, Liu Xie has regarded Dong as his natal family, so Liu Xie is also called Dong Hou.

As for He Jin and Dong Zhong, they often had conflicts during the day, not to mention the conflict between the Empress Dowager Dong and his sister. If Liu Xie succeeded to the throne, the power would definitely be controlled by the Dong family.

If the Dong family gains power at that time, not to mention whether he can keep his position as a general, it may even be difficult for the He family to end well.

"There is another possibility..."

Yuan Shu sneered, pointed in the direction of the imperial palace, then pointed upwards, and said in a dark voice: "Today's day may even be..."

"Silence!"

Wang Qian's complexion changed slightly, and he spoke to stop Yuan Shu's words.

This Yuan Shu really dared to say anything, even dared to say that the emperor had died.

Wang Qian looked to both sides. If Yuan Shu's words were heard by the embroidered clothes messenger, the Yuan family might not be able to save Yuan Shu.

Yuan Shu didn't think of him, he didn't have much fear of the embroidered clothes messenger.

"Wang Changshi doesn't have to worry about the embroidered clothes envoy, this is the general's mansion, absolutely no embroidered clothes envoy can infiltrate here."

With the burden on his back, Cao Cao unconsciously walked a few steps back and forth in the hall. When he heard Yuan Shu's sneer, he suddenly remembered something. He turned around and said with a rather embarrassed expression.

"I'm afraid most of what Gonglu said has become the truth..."

Yuan Shao's complexion changed slightly, and he lowered his voice and shouted: "Meng De, you can't talk nonsense."

Cao Cao glanced at Yuan Shao with a complex expression, and said in a deep voice, "Recently, the embroidered clothes envoys in Luoyang have been more and more active, but they haven't arrested many officials. The world is in turmoil, but the emperor hasn't shown himself for a long time."

"Even the three princes in the court have never been seen by the emperor. The envoys in embroidered clothes are harassing the Houde Hall, and the Hall of Houde is allowed to enter and not allowed to go out. The guards under the command of the bodyguard and cavalry general Dong Zhong have taken over most of the defense of the palace. Who is Dong Zhong, everyone should be very clear, I don't need to say more, it's not time to change defenses, if the emperor is safe and sound, why should Dong Chong be transferred to the palace in advance?"

He Jin frowned, although he didn't show it on his face, but his heart was full of panic.

Cao Cao looked at He Jin and asked, "Also, the General seemed to have received news that Empress Dowager Dong was going to Houde Hall the day before yesterday..."

He Jin nodded solemnly when he heard Cao Cao mention it.

Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu looked at each other, they both saw worry in their eyes.

Cao Cao didn't look at the faces of the two, but continued to whisper: "Lu Shangshu has taken over the Jizhou army for some time, and according to the power of the embroidered clothes envoy, Jian Shuo may even be in the palace at this time. "

"This……"

He Jin was a little panicked for a while, a little at a loss.

Seeing the change in He Jin's face, Yuan Shao knew that He Jin might be a little scared. Although He Jin is a great general, he was only a butcher who killed pigs in his previous life. He Jin was the backbone of such scenes. He immediately showed his timidity.

Yuan Shao secretly sighed, this He Jin is much worse than his younger brother He Miao, then He Miao has been on the battlefield with real swords and guns after all, but He Jin's position as a general is only due to his strength. He got it from the identity of his sister, Empress He.

"You don't need to worry, the general. Even if Jian Shuo is in the palace, he will definitely not be able to cause any disturbances. The embroidered messengers in Luoyang City only have a thousand-member part. But there are only 2000 people, and Jian Shuo's upper camp is still in Lu Shangshu's hands, thousands of miles away from Luoyang."

"Meng De and I have more than 5000 soldiers each, and a total of more than 5000 soldiers. The road is the general of the tiger and the ben, and most of the tiger's army is in the hands of the road. The general can be dispatched. There are also [-] soldiers in the army, how can we be afraid of Jian Shuo?"

He Jin regained his composure, and this was the very moving speech he said when he came back to his senses.

"I'm overthinking, but I've lost my composure. At the critical moment, I woke up from the primordial point."

He Jin calmed down, as Yuan Shao said, the current situation is indeed in his favor.

The Huben army as the old guard was controlled by Yuan Shu, and Yuan Shu was the general of Huben Zhonglang who commanded the Huben army.

Most of the other Habayashi Army, which served as the old guard, was in the hands of He Jin.

"Guang Luxun" has seven departments, two of which are:

Habayashi Zhonglang will have 120 and eight "Habayashi Lang" as the emperor's guards; more than [-] Habayashi Zuoqi and more than [-] Habayashi Youqi will serve as the emperor's guards. Attendants and out charging car ride.

Because of the Yellow Turban Rebellion, the emperor lifted the party, and Huangfusong, Zhu Jun, and Lu Zhi defeated the Yellow Turban Army.

Although with the help of the greed and power of the ten permanent servants, many people's official positions were reduced, but the power of the party members still expanded rapidly.

"And there is another piece of news that is extremely beneficial to us."

Yuan Shao took out a silk book from his bosom, held the silk book in both hands, and offered it to He Jin.

He Jin was a little stunned, and looked at Yuan Shao with a puzzled expression: "This is it?"

Yuan Shao smiled, and said mysteriously: "The general will know it at a glance."

He Jin didn't know why, but he trusted Yuan Shao, and seeing that Yuan Shao didn't elaborate, he unfolded the silk script in his hand.

As soon as his eyes saw the content on the silk book, he couldn't help but widen his eyes, and his face showed a shocked expression.

Cao Cao and Wang Qian didn't know why, one left and one right leaned forward to look at the silk book in He Jin's hand.

"This is true!?!"

Wang Qian's face was excited, and it was difficult to suppress the joy in his heart.

"nature."

Yuan Shao nodded arrogantly, and Yuan Shu who was at the side saw Yuan Shao's arrogant expression, curled his lips involuntarily, and gave a soft sneer.

The silk script records the battle at Chencang in the northwest. The Xiliang army led by Wang Guo, Han Sui, and Ma Teng besieged Chencang for more than two months, but failed to conquer it for a long time.

However, due to the strong defense of the city, the Xiliang army failed to capture it in the end, and the troops were exhausted, so they had to break through the siege and retreat.

Seeing the opportunity, Huangfusong led his troops to pursue them. He defeated the Kingdom, Han Sui, and Ma Teng's tribes in successive battles. The Xiliang army was defeated and fled all the way north. .

In the Northwest War, the Han army won a big victory in Chen Cang, which means that the pressure on the Han army in the northwest was relieved, and part of the Han army could be dispatched as a mobile force.

Cao Cao raised his head to look at Yuan Shao, Yuan Shao felt Cao Cao, smiled indifferently, and looked like he was sure of victory.

"The most urgent task now is to support Shi Hou to ascend the throne. The general holds a heavy army, and that person is nothing more than a conspiracy villain. He has no one under his command. If there is no accident, Shi Hou will surely succeed to the throne safely."

Before Liu Bian was born, all the princes of Emperor Ling died, so Prince Bian was not raised in the palace after birth, but was raised in the home of Taoist Shi Zixuan. He dared not call him Liu Bian by his real name, but called him "Shihou ".
