[Three Kingdoms] Small people's plan

Five days later, the spies reported——

Liu Biao was wounded on the way to rescue Liu Bei. After returning to Jiangling, he fell ill. After Liu Bei fled from Yuzhou to Jingzhou, he hoarded troops in Jingling, more than 100 miles east of Jiangling. Liu Biao's eldest son, Liu Qi, stayed in Jiangxia.

Liu Xie sat at the head, with Zhuge Liang and Chen Gong standing under his left hand, and Lu Bu standing in front of him on the right. Behind Lu Bu was Gao Shun and others.

Cao Ang was also in the hall, temporarily paying homage to Lv Bu Keqing and participating in the discussion.

Zhuge Liang had something to say, and with Liu Xie's consent, he said, "Liu Biao's life and death are uncertain, it seems that Jingzhou has fallen into the hands of the Cai family."

Seeing that Chen Gong also wanted to speak, Liu Xie simply showed grace: "Qing, if you have something to say, please do so, don't worry too much."

Chen Gong just let go of his courage and said: "If the emperor is in Jiangling, Liu Bei will have turned against the Cai family. If the emperor is not there, Liu Bei will put up a guard against Cao Cao and hoard troops in Jingling. Now he has no land. If Liu Biao dies, he will be fine." Go straight to Jingzhou, this is waiting and watching!"

Zhuge Liang said: "Before leaving Jiangling, I have instructed Liu Qi to wait for the order in Jiangxia."

Chen Gong nodded: "That's very good, Jingzhou's army is all in Jiangxia, with Liu Qi's strength, the emperor can do things easily."

Everyone looked at Liu Xie together.

Liu Xie asked, "What's the matter with Cao Cao?"

Lu Bu said: "No, after defeating Anfeng and Geyang, Cao Cao didn't make any movement. He only sent [-] troops to Nanyang, and Cao Ren didn't move after receiving the troops. It's strange."

Liu Xie opened a roll of bamboo slips one by one, thinking, "Mr. Cai has surrendered Cao."

Everyone below exchanged glances.

Liu Xiedao: "Liu Qi and Liu Bei are the obstacles for Liu Cong to take over Jingzhou. The Cai family must rely on Cao Cao's hand, but who is Cao Cao? He only agrees on the surface, saying that he will send troops to help Liu Cong. When Jingzhou civil strife breaks out, he will It’s cheap for nothing, but...it’s really annoying to do things carefully, Cao Cao must already know that I’m not in Jiangling.”

Zhuge Liang said: "General Lu hurried for half a month from Hanzhong to Badong, and gave up Jianmen to take Baidi. Even if Cao Cao didn't work carefully, he knew that the general came for the emperor."

Liu Xie was still opening the bamboo slips one by one: "That's true."

Zhuge Liang asked cautiously, "Your Majesty, do you want to take Jingzhou?"

The people around pricked up their ears, and the tension rose to the top—except for the order to inquire about the military situation in Jingzhou that day, Liu Xie was like that again. He got up at noon every day, went out to find food, and then went back to the government office leisurely, looking for whoever was caught. Play chess with you, then have dinner, take a walk, take a bath and go to bed, and get up at noon the next day...

If sleeping for nine hours on the first day was due to fatigue, then in the next half a month, sleeping for eight hours every day, who can do it except for infants! ?

Seeing that Liu Xie is fine, no one knows what he thinks.

Liu Xie wrapped up the bamboo slips in a "swish" manner: "Send someone to pass the decree to Liu Bei and Liu Qi, and order Liu Bei to support Liu Qi. Liu Qi sends troops to Jiangling, just the navy. Baidi City has returned to Jiangling, starting today, you go down to recruit civilian ships and prepare for the Eastern Expedition."

Everyone responded loudly, and Liu Xie held up the bamboo slips and pointed at Lu Bu: "Aiqing can't go east with the whole army, you need to divide your troops back to defend Hanzhong, it's best that you go back to Hanzhong yourself."

Lü Bu asked inexplicably, "The emperor is going to Jingzhou and is about to employ people, how can I return to Hanzhong?"

Chen Gongdao: "General, what does the emperor mean? Cao Cao already knows that the general will take over the emperor, and civil strife in Jingzhou is certain. Cao Cao's top priority is to take back the emperor. He is in Nanyang, and he has already sent a large army to attack Hanzhong. General If you don’t return, Hanzhong will not be guaranteed, if Hanzhong is lost, what will the general rely on to help the emperor?”

Lu Bu insisted: "There are still [-] infantry in Hanzhong. Song Xian can bring [-] cavalry back to Hanzhong. I will take the remaining [-] cavalry to protect the emperor."

Chen Gongdao: "General, if you don't go back, how can the three generals Song Xian, Hou Cheng, and Wei Xu resist Cao Cao's army?"

Lu Bu stared: "It's not easy to get to the emperor, why did you tell me to go back!?"

Look, in the blink of an eye, it's time to play a rogue again.

Cao Ang said: "I don't have to go back."

When Lu Bu heard this, he immediately looked at Cao Ang gratefully.

Cao Ang said: "Please issue an edict to call Ma Teng to attack."

Flank who?Naturally it was his father Cao Cao.

He was here, and it was difficult for anyone to mention the matter of attacking his father, so no one mentioned this method, but he actually proposed it himself.

This Confucian brainwashing is really... so beautiful!

Liu Xie almost didn't grin.

Cao Cao!You have educated your son so well.

Liu Xie "crashed" and rolled the bamboo slips away again:

"That's it. I will write the imperial edict myself."

Zhuge Liang smiled and said, "Please write four edicts, Your Majesty."

Liu Xie glared at him: "Four copies?" I want to be exhausted, what's the matter?

Zhuge Liang calmed down and said: "Liu Bei and Liu Qi have seen the emperor's words, so they naturally want the emperor to issue an edict himself so that they can raise troops quickly, and the other two edicts - one is sent to Ma Teng in Xiliang, and the other is first. As a warning, send it to Liu Zhang."

Chen Gong said with a smile: "Good way! If Liu Zhang obeys the edict, Yizhou will be united with Hanzhong, so that Cao Cao will not dare to move. If Liu Zhang does not obey the edict, when Jingzhou is stable and the emperor takes Yizhou, Liu Zhang will not obey it again. The imperial edict is to settle the heart of treason and disobedience, and to lose the will of heaven and the people!"

Everyone was very happy, but Liu Xie at the top had a sullen face, and when the big guy finished laughing, he looked at Zhuge Liang and said, "Aiqing, I'm going to make a draft, how about Aiqing studying ink?"

Zhuge Liang quickly put away his smiling face. It is not difficult to study ink, but don't draw out the petty eyes of the little emperor and let him kill fish~

Concerned, everyone in the hall took a look at Lu Bu, one after another pleaded guilty and withdrew, and looked at Lu Bu with question marks all over his head.

I'm afraid that in Lu Bu's view, Liu Xie punished him, he would be too beautiful!

On the sixth day after the edict was issued, the spies reported that the naval forces in Jianping, Zigui, Xinling, and Xiling in Jingzhou had quietly withdrawn to Jiangling, leaving the water villages empty.

Song Xian led [-] soldiers back to Hanzhong, Gao Shun led [-] soldiers to defend Baidi City, Lu Bu took [-] cavalry, and boarded hundreds of civilian boats collected from the army. The warships go first.

Liu Xie took an inconspicuous fishing boat and sailed in the middle of the fleet.

This time, I finally saw the whole Three Gorges.

There are few places on earth that can compare with the beauty of Han soil.

As a Han nationality, it is really difficult not to be proud~!

That stupid X of Cai Mao——

The little emperor is gone.

Lu Bu rushed south from Hanzhong to Badong County.

Cao Cao didn't come to fight.

Combining all the above situations, he didn't know how to guard against Lu Bu's sudden attack.

Mrs. Cai remembered it, but when she sent the news to Cai Mao on the river outside the city, it would be smooth sailing from Baidi City to Jiangling. "Returning a thousand miles of Jiangling in one day" was not invented by Li Bai!

Cai Mao hastily mobilized his troops, but could not enter Jiangling City and was blocked outside the gate.

Lu Bu stood on the top of the wall, and said triumphantly, "Sir! Sir! Come and see! The one outside is stupider than me!!! Hahahahahaha!!!"

Inside, Chen Gong and many soldiers were sweating profusely, while outside, Cai Mao almost died of anger.

What's Cai Mao's plan?There is Liu Bei on land at the back, Liu Qi on water, and Lu Bu holding Fang Tianji on the front of the city, as if if you dare to run, grandpa will come down and drag you to death.

Cai Mao's elder sister, his brother-in-law, and several hundred members of the Cai family fell into the hands of the little emperor, so Cai Mao had no choice but to pretend that I had no intention of rebelling against him, ordered someone to tie him up, and knelt outside the city gate begging for his life .

Lu Bu held an edict to open the city, and Liu Xie said that if Cai Mao surrendered, not only would everyone in the Cai family not be held accountable, but Cai Mao would still be in charge of the Jingzhou Navy's deputy.

Cai Mao was overjoyed, and followed Lu Bu back to the state capital of Jingzhou to thank him, almost smashing the ground in front of Liu Xie's feet with his head.

Half a day later, Liu Bei and Liu Qi entered the city together.

Liu Biao did not die, but was put under house arrest by Cai.

Liu Xie currently has no one in charge of the navy, so Cai Mao can't kill him, but he can't help it.

A month later.

Liu Biao, Liu Bei, and Lu Bu led Liu Qi, Liu Cong, Zhuge Liang, Chen Gong, Cai Mao, and more than [-] people from Jingzhou Wenwenwu, shouting "Long live my emperor", and bowed down to Liu Xie, who was sitting at the top and dressed in a crown .

Liu Xie hadn't worn this outfit for nearly half a year. It was newly made by Liu Biaocai, who ordered Jiangling weaving craftsmen to make it. A total of more than 300 craftsmen were used to make it. The embroidery patterns are gorgeous and elegant, the scales of the dragon, the feathers of the phoenix, the colors of the sun, the moon and the stars, the layers are delicate and distinct, even the smallest bead, such as the jade pendant, can't find a single flaw.

Maybe it's because of the clothes, Liu Xie felt something other than heavy and cumbersome for the first time in this outfit.

He heard the courtiers worshiping in his ears, the diadem in front of his eyes was shaking slightly, the stream of light refracted between the beads, and the light in his eyes was shining brightly like emeralds and crystals——

If the hall is not too small and the lower part is a bit crowded, it would be a good feeling.

There was still no coronation ceremony, but this time back to Jiangling, no one dared to take power again.

Although Liu Biao is the lord of Jingzhou, his crime was negligence, which led to rebellion under his command, which almost affected Shengjia. Liu Xie did not move his state shepherd's position, but he knew how to measure it. From then on, the state shepherd was the state shepherd, no It's not a prince anymore.

Liu Bei lost ground again, and there were not many soldiers left.

In this way, the prices of the two uncles have dropped~

The first thing Liu Xie did was to withhold the memorials of Liu Biao and Liu Bei.

They asked for three things:

[-]. Move the capital;

[-]. To reward the ministers;

[-]. Tell the world to crusade against Cao Cao.

In fact, all three things should be done, but they should not be done. Liu Xie forbids it, just because he doesn't want to force Cao Cao too hastily.

Seeing that Liu Xie withheld the memorial and sent the tenth group of spies to investigate the details of Xu Du, the four hurriedly got together to discuss a solution.

I have been lied to, how can I continue to lie now?

As soon as Liu Xie had power in his hands, he became so anxious. If they hadn't been dispatched ten times in a row, they couldn't believe that Cao Pi actually held such a heavy weight in Liu Xie's heart.

The little emperor is too tolerant, too good at pretending, even his confidants can't see it.

So, how dare you take the risk to tell him the truth?

If you get angry again, it's good to leave behind any hidden illness, don't be so angry until the funeral...

It was too late for Zhuge Liang to regret, so he had to find ways to tell a lie. The three accomplices Lu Bu, Chen Gong and Cao Ang had to rack their brains together, but after seeing the intercepted news, Zhuge Liang almost laughed his teeth out.

Running all the way, the goose feathers on the feather fan fell off and he didn't even bother to pick them up. He went to Cao Ang first, and then showed it to Liu Xie after a while.

Cao Pi is really not dead.

That guy survived small and strong.

Cao Zhi helped Cao Pi.

Cao Ren took the two brothers to Nanyang, and before he asked Cao Chun what was going on, Cao Zhi said—someone who came from nowhere rushed through the gate of the palace, and Cao Pi had to escort him out of the palace in a hurry. Later, he met Liu Bei who was lurking, so he was caught by Liu Bei. After arriving in Xiangyang, Cao Pi found a chance to escape with him.

Cao Zhi said so, Cao Chun still wants to die!They had no choice but to collude confessions temporarily and deceive Cao Ren together.

According to Cao Ren's words, he sent a letter to Xudu quickly, and Cao Cao sent an imperial physician to Nanyang. He cared about Cao Zhi very much, but didn't say a word about the seriously injured Cao Pi.

It took Cao Pi more than a month to open his eyes and regain consciousness, and it took more than two months before he could stay in the bed.

As soon as Cao Ren saw that he could move, he immediately sent their brothers back to Xudu.

But even when he returned to Xudu, Cao Zhi didn't go to meet his friends and buddies, just like when he was in Nanyang, he spent every day in his second brother's house.

When Cao Cao returned to Xudu, Cao Zhi ran a little less, and when Cao Cao left, he reported to duty every day.

Because he was a companion, Cao Cao asked him to go to the palace on time.

One day, Cao Zhi brought two things out of the palace for Cao Pi—a sable hat and a muff.

Cao Pi stared blankly for a long time and asked, "Fourth brother, why?"

Cao Zhi said: "Second brother gave this to the emperor, how can that person in the palace be qualified to wear it?"

Cao Pi took it, rubbed it, and put it aside.

"Don't you blame the second brother for treating you like that?"

Cao Zhi brought tea for him: "Second Brother didn't kill me, nor did he abandon me."

Cao Pi looked at Cao Zhi coolly for a while, but his body had not recovered, and he lay down to rest due to fatigue, without denying it.

Xu Du had only been in court for a few days, but some officials still felt something was wrong.

Although Liu Xie didn't talk much, he wouldn't say nothing, at least he would always talk about his life, but the emperor on the throne didn't say a word after Ma Teng's incident, and all of them were endorsed by Huangmen——

About Ma Teng, I have to go back and talk about it again.

When Ma Teng rushed into Xudu, it was Huang Kui who responded internally.

Huang Kui's concubine had an affair with Huang Kui's brother-in-law, Miao Ze. When the concubine heard that Huang Kui was drunk and mentioned it, she told Miao Ze when Huang Kui entered the palace for a banquet and had a private meeting with Miao Ze. The second Qingtong, in order to be promoted to a noble, hurriedly ran to the gate of Changle Palace to inform Cao Cao.

When Cao Cao learned of the collusion between Ma Teng and Huang Kui, he hurriedly mobilized a large battalion outside the city to enter the city.

However, the iron cavalry from Xiliang was so brave that they rushed into Changle Palace before Cao Cao's rescue arrived.

Cao Pi took Liu Xie to sneak out of the palace through the side gate, and escaped from the Xiliang army by taking advantage of the streets in the city.

Liu Xie was knocked out by Cao Pi and didn't know anything.

When Cao Cao counterattacked Ma Teng, Ma Teng fled, and the little emperor disappeared, leaving only a burning hot spring hall.

So Cao Cao braved the wind and snow to chase Ma Teng to death, trying to snatch the little emperor back.

Ma Teng was defeated and fled, not daring to stay.

Cao Cao chased him desperately—no matter how bad Liu Xie is, he still has many benefits. A poem can block the mouths of all officials. He didn't want to take Liu Xie's life at all. Liu Xie got drunk at the festival banquet, got Huangmen or someone's wife to go to Liu Xielong's bed, played a "scandal" in the back hall of Jinhua Palace, and postponed the crown ceremony.

Ma Teng fled in panic, while Cao Cao chased anxiously.

The two who eloped hid like glue in the cold palace in the ruins of Luoyang City they passed by to avoid the wind and snow.

After chasing to Luoshui, Ma Chao and Han Sui crossed the river to rescue Ma Teng, and withdrew to the west bank of Luoshui.

Seeing that they did not show the attitude of winning the emperor, Cao Cao was afraid that Liu Bei would take advantage of it, so he had to return to Xudu. Suspecting that the little emperor and his two sons had been taken away by Liu Bei, he stared at Yuzhou on the map with his teeth clenched and his fists clenched. Nan, I never thought it was not hijacking, but eloping~

Later, news from Jingzhou came, and Liu Biao seemed to welcome the emperor.

The court officials were even more skeptical, but because of Cao Cao's power, they dared not openly question the authenticity of the emperor on the throne.

Among the suspicious ministers was Xun Yu.
