Dragon map of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 1404 I am the Son of Heaven
The warlords of Xiliang used to be in charge of the imperial court, sitting on the land of Guanzhong and Xiliang, and they were the most powerful forces in the world, but Xiliang's rise was fast, and it also collapsed quickly.

Xiliang's defeat, in Jia Xu's mind, was more due to the present day.

Even if the people of the world crusade, for Xiliang soldiers, it is nothing more than a battle. If they fail to fight, they can retreat. The worst and worst result is to retreat to Xiliang. When they regroup their strength in the future, they can make a comeback.

But because of today's design, the spiritual belief of Xiliang brought the heroes of Xiliang out of that barren land, and the hero who established himself in the Central Plains, Dong Zhuo, was beheaded.

Since then, Xiliang has been almost torn apart in the gang fights of the world's princes. Those who died, ran away, and those who were lucky enough to return to Xiliang, like Zhang Xiu, Ma Teng, etc., did not want to take refuge in others in the end. The princes can gain a foothold.

There are also people like him who can survive only by living under the fence, and even dare not show their faces in public.

All this is because of the ruthlessness of the emperor.

Among the heroes of Xiliang, no one would take this puppet emperor seriously. In the eyes of many Xiliang generals, the emperor is just a pawn at the mercy of their Dong Xiangguo.

But it happened that this chess piece knocked out their Xiliang souls.

Since then, Jia Xu has a kind of fear of the emperor Liu Xie, and the more he fears, the more he attaches importance to it. He no longer dares to underestimate the emperor.

Even if it's a dragon, it's still a poisonous dragon. A poisonous dragon may not be upright and domineering, but it's vicious and vicious. If it doesn't move, it will die if it moves and bites you.

"My son, the son of heaven has deep thoughts. Don't look at him being gentle and kind in front of the king. In fact, his ambition to regain the government has never been extinguished. If this person is not guarded, we will suffer a lot!"

Jia Xu reminded Cao Ang in a low voice.

But Jia Xu has such an understanding of the emperor, which does not mean that Cao Ang also has it.

"Really?" Cao Ang expressed some doubts.

In Cao Ang's mind, the Son of Heaven was just a nominal emperor supported by his father, who was somewhat careful, but under the protection of his Cao family's influence.

In his heart, he may not have much reverence for the Son of Heaven, but more despise.

Relatively speaking, among the younger generation, he is more in awe of Ming Wang Mujing who started from nothing, conquered a territory, and even aroused the fear of the princes of the world.

Among the younger generation, Sun Ce from Jiangdong and Yuan Tan from Hebei are not in his eyes. Power, he thought he had always been above Sun Ce.

As for Yuan Tan, Yuan Tan is a very capable person, but there is a mountain on his head. Yuan Shao likes his younger brother, but dislikes him, and even sent him to Qingzhou to train his younger brother Yuan Shang.

In this way, Yuan Tan's ability can't be fully utilized to five points, and he is even afraid that if he performs too well, he will be jealous of him, so he is so restrained, naturally he cannot be compared with himself.

He, Cao Ang, is not someone else, but the eldest son of Cao Cao. Although Cao Cao is suspicious, he is a very well-behaved person, and Cao Cao does not dislike him at all. He often praises him in front of his subordinates and has high hopes for him. He also regarded him as the son of Prince Wei, the heir of Cao Wei's power.

In this regard, he is much better than Yuan Tan, and the stage on which he can play is also much larger. Whether it is meeting on the battlefield or competing in governing ability, Cao Ang thinks that he surpasses Yuan Tan too much.

Only Mu Jing, who was similar in age, made him unable to feel competitive.

That was Cao Cao's opponent.

His father, what a powerful person, is the god he admires most in his heart, but even so, he still suffered repeated losses in front of Mujing. This person is so powerful that there are few in the world.

As for the so-called son of heaven, in his feeling, his father didn't pay much attention to him at all. He was first held hostage by Dong Zhuo and then reduced to his father's puppet. Apart from the blood of the Han Dynasty, he really looked down on such a person.

"Isn't Yelou always staring at the palace?"

Cao Ang looked at Jia Xu, thought for a while, and said, "Could there be any changes in the palace?"

"No!"

Although Jia Xu has also increased manpower and material resources to monitor the palace, there has been no news. The palace is too peaceful, and the tranquility made him a little terrified: "But my son, I still think that we should take some precautions, and we must not give it to you. Any opportunity for the Son of Heaven, after all, now that the King is away at war, the court must not miss it!"

"That makes sense!" Cao Ang nodded in agreement.

Seeing Cao Ang's attitude, Jia Xu's heart relaxed, and then he said: "The old king was ready to teach the emperor a lesson, and the plan was well done. If it wasn't for the sudden outbreak of the Ming Dynasty, which caused our strategy to change, we wouldn't have In order to stabilize the government, the plan will be put on hold, son, why don't we proceed according to the plan and calm down the emperor first.

"No!"

Although Cao Ang agreed with Jia Xu's cautiousness, he still didn't take the emperor into his heart. He said calmly: "It is precisely because our army is fighting outside now that we need stability. If we rashly move the palace and the people around the emperor, there is no need to worry about it." It might make the Son of Heaven jump over the wall in a hurry, and if there is chaos in Xudu at that time, it will affect the front line, and since the Son of Heaven is under our surveillance, there will be no accidents, we just need to be careful!"

"Yes!"

Jia Xu looked at Cao Ang's expression, said no more, just sighed.

Cao Ang has studied too much Confucianism, is capable, and has a city, but he still lacks a bit of Cao Cao's ruthlessness, so when doing things, he is somewhat cautious.

This is impossible.

He can't make up his own mind, he is a general himself, and he is still in charge of Yelou Power, which is envied by countless members of the Xiahou clan of the Cao family. If something goes wrong, even if Cao Cao trusts him, he may not be able to keep him. Among the direct descendants of the family, he is really nothing, and he can give up at any time.

Looking at the world, there are not many people who can take him in and give him trust. Cao Cao is one of them, so he has never given birth to the desire to serve others, and naturally he will not have the idea of ​​betraying Cao Wei. Standing firm in the middle is not making meritorious deeds, but first of all not making mistakes.

Therefore, he would rather not do a lot of things than take risks. If Cao Ang agrees, Cao Ang will be able to bear any credit or fault for him in the future, but if Cao Ang should not, he can't do it, because he doesn't have this shoulders, carry things off.

"General Jia Zhonglang, what do you think of the front line now?"

Cao Ang's attention has been diverted from Xu Du, he is worried about the front line: "Can father defeat Mulongtu?"

The strength of the Ming army is number one in the world.

Although the Wei army is strong, the Ming army has absolute combat effectiveness and terrain advantages. Whether the Wei army can win this battle, even in his heart, he does not have much confidence.

"Don't worry, son!"

Jia Xu cupped his hands, smiled slightly, and said softly: "Your Majesty has experienced many battles, and Guo Jijiu gave advice. Lu Bu, Dian Wei, and Xu Chu are all powerful generals in the present. A top-ranking general, the Ming army is in danger in this battle, although there is Wancheng as a defense, but they will lose if they defend for a long time, no matter what schemes they have, under the absolute strength of the troops, they will be flattened!"

..............................

Inside a tea shop in Xu Capital City.

Several people sat opposite each other.

Tan Zong was sitting in a wheelchair, and he carefully removed some of the camouflage on his face. In the Wei Kingdom, Tan Zong was definitely a wanted criminal, and Yelou's spying on him would never let him go.

So in order to enter Xudu, he still disguised himself, and even entered the city by lying in the swill cart.

There is no disguise technique these days, but there are quite a few techniques for changing one's appearance.

Moreover, there is no scanning machine in this era. Once you change your clothes, change your hair, add some miscellaneous things to your face, and dress up casually. It is difficult to recognize people just by their silhouette and outline.

Moreover, in this day and age, people are recognized mainly by their painted appearance, with a difference of more than 51%. Unless you have actually met this person, otherwise you rely on a portrait, and the chance of wanting someone to come out is even [-]%. Less than ten.

However, Tan Zong's legs were abolished at the beginning, which was an obvious feature, so in order to enter Xudu, he not only sat in the swill truck, but also disguised his face a little, even if he was caught, he still had a chance to get away with it.

This trip was pretty smooth.

After he took off his disguise, he let out a long breath, and said to the person beside him, "How's the news going?"

"I still can't get in touch with people from Xudu!"

The youth shook his head.

"The people in Xudu will be wiped out by the whole army, right?" Tan Zong narrowed his eyes slightly, the eyes were so cold that a layer of frost could freeze.

The people around him are all brought by him.

But the people in Xudu, he couldn't get in touch.

This is not very good for his plan. Without the support of Xu Duzhen, if he wants to do something in this city of Cao Wei's confidant, his hands and feet will be bound.

Moreover, Xu Du has always been Jing Wusi's most important position.

In order to lay out Xudu, he spent an incomprehensible amount of energy and force, and sent countless secrets to Xudu every year. If the entire army of Xudu Town was wiped out, Jing Wusi would suffer a lot.

"probably not!"

This young man is Shi A. Holding a sword in his hand, he said calmly: "There is a response to the signal, they should be dormant, and they dare not show up easily!"

"why?"

"Maybe it's because there are some problems in Xudu Town, someone betrayed!" Shi A's eyes flickered: "When I leave a code, there is a code to respond!"

"Night building?"

"Maybe!" Shi A said.

"No!" Tan Zong looked at the table, squinted his eyes slightly, as if he was asking himself an answer: "Yelou doesn't have such a skill!"

If Yelou can destroy Jing Wusi's stronghold in Xudu, then Yelou's strength will have to be re-evaluated. They are all walking in the dark. It is very important to measure the strength of others and know your own strength clearly. things.

"Then who has such a skill!"

Shi A frowned slightly.

"Have!"

Tan Zong knocked on the table, with a stern smile on his lips: "Don't forget, this Xudu is also the Xudu of the Han court, and there is an emperor above the court!"

"Emperor?" Shi A frowned: "It's not that I don't look down on him. He is just a puppet. If he can be supported by Cao Cao and used by us, it is already the limit. Does he still want to be the one who plays chess?"

"Don't underestimate him!"

Tan Zong shook his head. He knew that many people looked down on the Son of Heaven, but he would not make such a mistake. Since the failure of Nanyang, he lost his legs, he has doubts, distrust and uncertainty about everything, so he will not underestimate him. Everyone, including that one, is pretty wimpy.

"Three tasks!" Tan Zong thought for a while, and said: "First, inform Miss He to contact the He family as soon as possible, and must connect with the emperor, otherwise, we will not be able to survive alone!"

"Yes!"

"second!"

Tan Zongdao: "Let the commander of the right division, Zhao Xin, come over as soon as possible. I am good at dealing with night towers, but he is better at dealing with the imperial tomb army. I want to see how many imperial tombs are still dead by the emperor's side." scholar!"

"Yes!"

"The last mission!" Tan Zongdao: "Assassinate a person!"

"Who!"

"Son of Yang Biao!"

"Yang Xiu?"

"Correct!"

"Understood!" Shi A never asked the reason, just doing the task.

At this time, Tan Zong suddenly asked: "Shi A, if Wang Yue appears, will it affect your mission?"

"meeting!"

Shi A paused, and answered without hesitation.

When he returned to Mujing, it was for Wang Yue. His teacher, Wang Yue, was a generation of sword masters, the king of rangers, and a person who had a great debt of gratitude to him.

"Then you have to be careful!"

Tan Zong's eyes were calm, as if he didn't care at all, this was to remind him: "Avoid if you can, I'm afraid you will die under his sword!"

"will not!"

Shi A turned his head and looked at Tan Zong: "My master, I didn't kill me, and I won't do anything to him, so you'd better make arrangements, I don't want any accidents!"

"Understood!"

Tan Zong was expressionless.

........................

The imperial city of Xudu is just a simple palace, not comparable to the imperial city of Luoyang, nor the Weiyang and Changle Palaces in Chang'an. It is a little crude, but it is still a place to live.

It's been a while since Cao Cao hijacked him into Xudu. Emperor Liu Xie has aged a lot. From a young man pretending to be mature, he has become a calm young man.

"Cough cough!"

In the past two days, he has caught a cold, which made Liu Xie cough.

"Your Majesty, you take the medicine first!"

The woman came with a bowl of medicine in her hand, knelt down and said softly.

"Zi Tong, thank you for your hard work!"

Liu Xie looked at the magnificent woman and smiled slightly. He finished drinking the medicine and looked at the small hands in the woman's hands that should have been green and white, stained with ashes.

He knew that it was because the woman had contracted the infection in order to personally watch over him and boil the medicine for him.

In this palace, there are few wives who can be trusted.

That's why she, the queen, had to cook the medicine herself. They were all afraid that a bowl of medicine might send the emperor's soul back to heaven. There are countless people who want the emperor's life.

"Your Majesty, ministers and concubines are not bitter!"

Fu Shou shook his head.

Since she married Liu Xie, fate has been connected with each other.

"In the future, you don't have to come in person to make medicine!" Liu Xie held her catkin and said pitifully, "If they want to take my life, they would have taken it long ago. Cao Mengde won't let me die. No one can kill me!"

"Your Majesty is a man of gold, so be careful!" Fu Shou said stubbornly.

"It's fine, it's up to you, I just hope you don't work so hard!"

"The concubine boils medicine for His Majesty, it's not bitter!" Fu Shou's eyes flickered slightly.

"Has your father entered the palace these few days?"

The Son of Heaven asked suddenly.

"no!"

Fu Shou asked: "Your Majesty has something to discuss with my father, why don't I find a reason to let my father enter the palace!"

"No need!"

The emperor shook his head: "There are countless eyeliners in the palace, it is too abrupt, and some people will become suspicious!"

To him, this imperial palace is like a sieve that leaks air.

Whenever there is a little bit of news, it will be spread. He has been patient for a long time, and every step of the plan must be done carefully, and there must be no mistakes in the slightest.

"The concubine has resigned!" Fu Shou said after seeing the emperor's expression improved a lot.

"Zitong, you have to know that no matter what I do, it is for the great Han!"

Suddenly, the Son of Heaven looked at the back of Fushou who was about to leave the hall, and said quietly, with a helpless voice: "Because I am the Son of Heaven!"
