Three Kingdoms: Liu Bei seeks the master and seeks to conquer the world

Chapter 212 Liu Chong was Assassinated, Yuan Shao Wins over Yuan Shu

"Let Xiang Luo become the prefect of Runan?"

"Cao Yuzhou must have a plan for this move, Prime Minister Luo must not be fooled."

Knowing that Luo Jun was going to be relocated as the prefect of Runan, Mi Heng hurried to persuade him.

The purpose of Mi Heng coming to Chen Guo is to remind Luo Jun, try his best to persuade Chen Wang Liu Chong to be wary of this moment.

Now that Luo Jun is going to be relocated as the prefect of Runan, there will be a big change in Chen Guo's personnel, which will give the assassin an opportunity to take advantage of it.

Luo Jun didn't take it seriously: "Zhengping, Yaoqing is a famous official of the Chen Kingdom, he behaves cleanly, advances and retreats according to the way, has him as the Minister of Chen, Chen Guo has no worries."

Yuan Huan was the son of Situ Yuan Pang.

Unlike the Yuan family in Runan, Yuan Huan is from the Yuan family of Chen State.

The world is corrupt, and most of the children of famous families do not abide by the laws and regulations, but Yuan Huan is a pure person, and his behavior is law-abiding and polite, which is admirable.

Yuan Huan was a meritorious official in the county in his early years, and the corrupt officials in the county all left automatically when they heard Yuan Huan's name.

Later, Yuan Huan was requisitioned by the government, and was promoted to Gaodi, and appointed as the county magistrate of Qiao County. However, Yuan Huan did not take up the post, and had been studying at his ancestral home in Fule County, Chen State.

Chen Xiang Luo Jun also has a lot of friendship with Yuan Huan.

Therefore, Luo Jun didn't think too much about Cao Cao's personnel transfer.

"Luo Xiang, Mr. Yaoqing is from Chen Guo. Even if Cao Yuzhou wants to use it, Mr. Yaoqing will be the prefect of Runan. Why do you have to make an exception and replace Luo Xiang as Chen Xiang?" Mi Heng said something suspicious.

Luo Jun said: "Since it is an exceptional appointment, you shouldn't care that Yaoqing is from Chen Guo."

"Cao Yuzhou is also from Yuzhou, and now he also serves as the shepherd of Yuzhou. When a minister in the court questioned it, Lu Shangshu also said: The country is divided, and we still have to follow the old system. Isn't that against the hearts of loyal officials and righteous men?"

"The reason Yaoqing is selected as Minister of Chen is because Yaoqing is quite famous in the country of Chen, which will make the people of the country of Chen trust Yaoqing even more."

"Zhengping, this Yuan Shu has already been expelled to Huainan by Cao Yuzhou, who else will be unfavorable to King Chen?"

"You worry too much!"

Seeing that Luo Jun couldn't be persuaded, Ni Heng could only sigh helplessly.

however.

After Luo Jun left Chen Guo for Runan, Yuan Huan refused to be an official on the grounds that Chen Guoren's appointment as Chen Xiang violated the regulations.

Cao Cao praised Yuan Huan's virtue, and promoted Lu Fan, an official of Runan County, to be Chen Xiang.

Although Chen Xiang was changed, Liu Chong didn't think it was wrong.

After all, Prime Minister Chen has replaced countless people, and Liu Chong has already gotten used to it.

"Mr. Yaoqing is not an official, and Chen Xiang is appointed by a Runan county magistrate?" Mi Heng was shocked.

This frequent personnel change made Mi Heng aware of the impending storm.

Mi Heng didn't dare to look for Lu Fan.

Yuan Huan is a well-known official of the Chen State, and he is also quite famous. If Yuan Huan is appointed Minister of Chen, Ni Heng will naturally be able to pay a visit to remind Yuan Huan to beware of assassins.

Lu Fan is from Runan, and he didn't have much reputation in the past, and he has no friendship with Mi Heng.

Naturally, Mi Heng dare not tell the truth about such a top-secret matter.

Unable to think of any countermeasures, Mi Heng wrote a letter, ordering the secret agent to send the accident of Chen Guo to Linzi City.

however.

As soon as the letter was sent, Mi Heng got the news that King Chen and Liu Chong had been assassinated.

The assassin, Qin Yi, was an old official of Yuan Shu. It is said that after Yuan Shu's defeat in Fengqiu City, he accidentally entered Chen State and was appreciated by Liu Chong for his bravery.

No one thought that Qin Yi would assassinate Liu Chong.

Although Qin Yi was beheaded by Liu Chong with all his strength, Liu Chong also fell into a coma because of the poisoned dagger.

"How could it be such a coincidence?" Mi Heng was shocked.

When Luo Jun went to Runan, Yuan Huan refused to serve as Chen Xiang, and Lu Fan was assassinated as soon as Lu Fan served as Chen Xiang.

Ni Heng immediately came to Chen Wang's mansion. Seeing that Chen Wang was dying and the medical officer was at a loss, Ni Heng decisively asked Mrs. Liu Chong to go to Qiao County to invite Hua Tuo: "Mr. Yuanhua is the only one who can save Chen Wang."

Mrs. Liu Chong did not dare to neglect, and urgently ordered her cronies to invite Hua Tuo to Qiao County.

Fortunately, Hua Tuo has not yet gone out to practice medicine. Under Hua Tuo's treatment, Liu Chong temporarily saved his life.

But it only saved one life. Liu Chong was deeply poisoned and needed long-term recuperation to cure the poison. It was almost impossible to bend the bow and shoot arrows within a year.

For Liu Chong, who likes to ride and shoot, this is almost worse than death.

"Mr. You, thanks to your timely recommendation of Miracle Doctor Hua, I saved my life."

"what do you want?"

Liu Chong valued kindness and righteousness, and when he learned that Hua Tuo was recommended by Mi Heng, he immediately invited Mi Heng with his sick body.

Mi Heng asked Liu Chongping to retreat to the left and right, and said in a concentrated voice: "King Chen, I have only one purpose in the country of Chen, and that is to make King Chen beware of assassins."

"When Prime Minister Luo was here, I tried to persuade him a lot, but Prime Minister Luo said that King Chen would not listen to persuasion."

Only then did Liu Chong remember Luo Jun's many times of persuasion, and he couldn't help saying embarrassingly: "It's no wonder Xiang Xiang, it's just because the king doesn't want to listen."

"Mr. How did you know that the king would meet an assassin?" Liu Chong was a little surprised: "The ability to be unpredictable is astonishing."

You Heng shook his head: "It's not that I have the ability to predict, but Brother Xianmou has already explained it, and Brother Xianmou carefully told me to come to Chen Guo."

Liu Chong was taken aback: "Isn't Zheng Biejia from Qingzhou? If there is a chance, this king will host a banquet."

Mi Heng said again: "Chen Wang wants to thank Brother Xianmou, how about condescending to go to Linzi City?"

Liu Chong said with a smile: "Since I want to thank you, it is natural that this king will host a banquet in Chen State. What are you going to do in Linzi City?"

Suddenly, Liu Chong came to his senses, and his eyes became more serious: "What do you mean, Mr. Chen, there are assassins who want to harm this king?"

"But this king can't figure out why someone would come to assassinate this king. This king is very disciplined in this country of Chen."

"Even Cao Yuzhou wanted to replace Chen Xiang, this king did not refuse."

Mi Heng said: "The assassin is Yuan Shu's subordinate Qin Yi, there are only two possibilities to assassinate King Chen."

"First, Yuan Shu wants to blame Cao Yuzhou for the assassination of King Chen, so as to stir up conflict between Chen Guo and Cao Yuzhou."

"The second one is that Qin Yi was appointed by Cao Cao to completely control Chen Guo."

"No matter what it is, King Chen is no longer safe in Chen Country."

If Hua Tuo hadn't told Liu Chong not to get angry and to rest well, Liu Chong would probably have wanted to kill someone.

Taking a deep breath, Liu Chong's eyes became a little more solemn: "Mr. You mean to ask this king to leave the country of Chen temporarily to avoid disaster?"

Mi Heng nodded: "I really have that intention! King Chen and Liu Shijun of Qingzhou formed a friendship, and Liu Shijun rescued Tao Qian a few days ago, and fought with Cao Yuzhou in Xuzhou."

"I'm worried that Cao Yuzhou might fear King Chen."

"After all, Chen State is adjacent to Yingchuan. If King Chen really wants to harm Cao Yuzhou, he can attack Xu County within a day."

"The reason why others are not allowed to snore on the side of the couch, I think Chen Wang is also very clear."

Liu Chongyin was angry and couldn't help coughing twice.

"Chen Wang, please calm down, this is just my guess." Mi Heng quickly approached to comfort.

Liu Chong calmed down the anger in his heart, and said: "Mr. Your kindness, this king accepts it. But since this king is the king of Chen country, he will protect the people of Chen country."

"One day when this king is in Chen Guo, the people of Chen Guo will not suffer from war."

"If this king leaves the country of Chen, the people of the country of Chen may be disturbed by war."

"Mr. You, no matter whether this matter is related to Cao Yuzhou or not, it is not safe for you to stay in Chen Country."

"Go back to Linzi City first, and thank Zheng Biejia for his kindness."

"My king will be careful in the future!"

Liu Chong was very injured when someone he trusted assassinated him.

Physical wounds can be healed, but spiritual wounds are hard to heal.

Thinking of his great love for Qin Yi, Liu Chong felt short of breath and couldn't help but started coughing again.

You Heng is helpless.

Liu Chong is seriously injured at this time and needs to rest urgently, so Mi Heng can't be too eager.

"Chen Wang, please take care."

Mi Heng withdrew from Prince Chen's Mansion, and immediately left the post house in disguise.

As Liu Chong said, regardless of whether the assassin was appointed by Cao Cao or Yuan Shu, Mi Heng, who invited Hua Tuo for Liu Chong, would always be the target of assassination.

And not long after Mi Heng left, Lu Fan came to the post with his cronies.

"Ran?"

"How cunning!"

You Heng guessed right.

Although Qin Yi was Yuan Shu's general, he was captured by Cao Cao's general after the Battle of Fengqiu City, and has remained under Cao Cao's command since then.

Cao Cao wanted to plot Liu Chong, so he asked Qin Yi to join Liu Chong, and he must gain Liu Chong's trust.

At the beginning.

Cao Cao had no intention of letting Qin Yi assassinate Liu Chong, but instead used Liu Chong's Chen Guobing to expel Yuan Shu's power in Yuzhou.

After Xuzhou's defeat, Cao Cao worried that Liu Chong would secretly collude with Liu Bei, so he had the idea of ​​​​getting rid of Liu Chong.

Therefore, after becoming the shepherd of Yuzhou and obtaining the right to appoint and remove personnel, Cao Cao deliberately recommended Yuan Huan as a talented person, let Yuan Huan be the minister of Chen, and transferred Luo Jun away with an excuse.

Cao Cao knew Yuan Huan well, and knew that Yuan Huan was a law-abiding and polite man.

Anyone can be Prime Minister Chen, but Yuan Huan will never be Prime Minister Chen.

This gave Cao Cao the opportunity to ask his confidant Lu Fan to serve as Chen Xiang.

Lu Fan was originally an official of Runan County. After Cao Cao defeated the Runan prefect Xu Wei, Lu Fan recommended himself to vote for Cao Cao.

On weekdays, even the assassin Liu Chong can handle it.

But after Lu Fan took office, he made a lot of personnel changes in Chen Wangfu, so that when Qin Yi was assassinated, all the guards around Liu Chong were newly selected.

Although he was loyal to King Chen, he was not very wary. Even Qin Yi's negligence of entering King Chen's inner courtyard with a poisonous dagger in his arms could happen.

Only then did Qin Yi succeed.

And after Mi Heng recommended Hua Tuo, Lu Fan naturally followed him.

Fortunately, Mi Heng was vigilant, so he escaped ahead of time.

If Lu Fan were to catch him, he would really be suing Tian Tian for not answering, and suing him for not being able to do so.

When the time comes to create an accident or something, Mi Heng's life will have to be accounted for here.

In this day and age, it is not difficult to make a person disappear permanently without being known.

Cao Cao announced his support for Liu Xie, wiped out dissidents and installed cronies in Yuzhou wantonly, but he was full of ambition.

However, in Yecheng, Yuan Shao was not happy when he heard the news.

"Meng De preached to the counties and states of Yuzhou, claiming to support the emperor of Chang'an?"

"Have you checked this news carefully?"

Yuan Shao looked at Guo Tu with a bad tone.

Guo Tu nodded: "I've confirmed it carefully. Liu Xie named Cao Cao Yuzhou Mu, General Zhengdong, and Xuhou. This has already spread in Yuzhou."

"What a trick, Cao!" Yuan Shao was so angry that he took the case: "Is this general not good enough for him? It is wrong to give him the general who conquers the south, and he wants to be the general who conquers the east for Liu Xie's son?"

Yuan Shao is so angry!

Cao Cao defeated Yuan Shu in Yuzhou, and Yuan Shao also played Liu Kai to ask for credit for Cao Cao.

As a result, before Liu Kai's reward arrived, Cao Cao stabbed Yuan Shao in the back.

Guo Tu's eyes became more solemn: "Duke Ming, Cao Cao now supports Liu Xie in Chang'an, and Zang Hong, governor of Yanzhou, is also very likely to express his opinion."

"If Cao Cao and Zang Hong send troops to the north, it will be difficult for us to resist."

Yuan Shao said angrily: "Cao Ah dared to send troops north without telling him that he would have dug his ancestral grave. Is there a good way to deal with it?"

Guo Tudao: "From last June to now, Dong Zhuo and I have been fighting for almost a year."

"Although there are winners and losers for each, they still haven't been able to decide the winner."

"For Duke Ming, the longer the delay, the higher the prestige of Zhuocheng's emperor will be."

"Of course, if Cao Cao and Zang Hong lead their troops northward, they will definitely break this balance."

"If you want to break the game, only Yuan Shu who is in Huainan."

Yuan Shao frowned: "Yuan Gonglu? You mean, you want to give Yuan Gonglu a general?"

"Yuan Gonglu, the last time he joined forces with the Black Mountain Army to attack Wei Jun, he didn't care about it, so why should he be named a general? What's the reason for that!"

Guo Tu persuaded: "Duke Ming, the only one in the south of the Yellow River who will express his support for the Emperor of Zhuocheng is Yuan Shu. For the sake of Duke Ming's great cause, please bear with it for a while."

"The Son of Heaven is in Zhuocheng, so it is impossible for Yuan Shu to return to Hebei."

"For the time being, give Yuan Shu some benefits and let him contain Cao Cao and Zang Hong. As long as it drags on for a few more months, Dong Zhuo will have to return to Chang'an."

"At that time, the situation of the two emperors in the same sky will be unshakable."

"Duke Ming then Xu Tu to get rid of Gongsun Zan. The north of the Yellow River is controlled by Duke Ming. Who in the world is still Duke Ming's opponent?"

Yuan Shao thought about it carefully, and angrily agreed to Guo Tu's plan: "The Lord thinks, how should Yuan Gonglu be rewarded?"

The corner of Guo Tu's mouth curled up: "You can give Yuan Shu the title of Hussar General, Yangzhou Inspector, Governor of Yan, Yu, Yang, and Xu four prefectures."

"General Hussars is higher than Generals Chariots. Seeing that Yuan Shu has a higher official position than Duke Ming, he will definitely accept the seal with pleasure."

"Governors Yan, Yu, Yang, and Xu have soldiers and horses, which also gave Yuan Shu a reason to send troops."

"However, it would be better for Gongsun Zan to send people to Huainan, so that Yuan Shu would mistakenly believe that this was Gongsun Zan's intention."

Yuan Shao clapped his hands and praised: "If it is in the name of Gongsun Zan, Yuan Gonggong will definitely think that Gongsun Zan wants to win him over to deal with me."

"In this way, not only will Gongsun Zan not doubt Ben's intentions, but Yuan Shu will definitely agree."

"The Yuan family has one family, four generations and three princes, and the disciples and old officials are all over the world."

"I just hate Yuan Gonglu for refusing to listen to my elder brother's order. If brothers are united, how can it be Dong Zhuo's turn to run rampant in Chang'an?"

When Yuan Shao said this, his face was not red and his heart was not beating. He had already completely forgotten about sending Zhou Yu, Zhou Xin, and Zhou Ang to snatch Yuzhou and cut off Yuan Shu's way back.

Immediately.

Yuan Shao sent a letter to Zhuocheng.

As Yuan Shao expected, Gongsun Zan did not doubt Yuan Shao's intentions, and sent an angel to Huainan to enshrine Yuan Shu as a general.

Gongsun Zan and Yuan Shu had cooperated before, and now Cao Cao declared in Yuzhou that he supported Emperor Chang'an and that it was in Gongsun Zan's interest to win over Yuan Shu, Cao Cao's sworn enemy.

　Yuan Shao: Brother Gonglu, we are a good match, right?

　　Yuan Shu: Concubine and concubine, go to your dream of spring and autumn!
