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

Chapter 293 Leading General Zuo, Liu Bei opened a mansion to manage affairs

The next day.

Liu Xie discussed moving the capital again.

However, this time, not only Liu Bei supported moving the capital to Yingchuan, but even Lu Bu supported moving the capital to Yingchuan.

When Lu Bu stated the pros and cons of moving the capital to Yingchuan and Chenliu in front of Liu Xie, Zhang Miao and Chen Gongren were dumbfounded.

"When did Lu Bu go with Liu Bei and Cao Cao?"

"Damn Lu Bu, have you forgotten our kindness?"

"This Lu Bu is really just a capricious and mercenary villain!"

Zhang Miao was so angry that his lungs almost exploded.

Originally, the ministers who supported the move to Yingchuan and the ministers who supported the move to Chenliu were similar to each other. As long as they see each other, the move will remain in limbo.

Even if Liu Bei comes, the same is true!

However, the moment Lu Bu chose to support moving the capital to Yingchuan, the balance was broken!

In order to win Lv Bu over, Zhang Miao and Chen Gong never interfered with Lv Bu's military power, so that when Lv Bu wanted to defect, Zhang Miao and Chen Gong didn't even have a chance to fight back!
Zhang Miao and Chen Gong couldn't stop Lu Bu, who had mastered the military power, from moving his capital to Yingchuan.

Seeing that Liu Bei and even Lu Bu had been persuaded, Cao Cao was overjoyed!
As long as Liu Xie arrives in Yingchuan, Cao Cao has a hundred ways to counter Lu Bu.

In terms of strategy alone, a hundred Lu Bu is no match for one Cao Cao.

And ministers in the DPRK and China, such as Ma Rixun and Yang Biao, were also shocked by this sudden change in wind direction.

The current situation is: Uncle Emperor of the Han Dynasty, Qingzhou Mu, General Zhengbei, Linzi Hou Liu Bei, Yuzhou Mu, General Zhengdong, Xuhou Cao Cao, General Jianwei, Wenhou Lu Bu, three generals who actually held military power together In favor of moving the capital to Yingchuan.

In troubled times, whoever holds the military power really has the right to speak.

Even if Ma Rixun, Yang Biao and other ministers don't want to, it's hard to distinguish from Liu Bei, Cao Cao and Lu Bu.

After all, the reasons for the three of Liu Bei are all for the safety of Liu Xie, not for personal gain.

Although Liu Xie wanted to go to Qingzhou very much, but Liu Bei did not agree with Liu Xie.

Lu Bu's sudden support for moving the capital to Yingchuan caught Liu Xie by surprise.

Faintly guessing that Lu Bu's support had something to do with Liu Bei, Liu Xie felt even more uncomfortable.

"Uncle Huang is afraid of rumors, and in order to avoid suspicion, he dare not suggest that I move the capital to Qingzhou. I can only make the next best thing and help me go to Yingchuan, where there are dangerous mountains and rivers."

"The loyalty and treachery in the court are clear at a glance."

"Hmph, don't think that since I went to Yingchuan, I can be at your mercy."

Holding his breath in his heart, Liu Xie agreed to move the capital to Yingchuan.

The current situation has no room for Liu Xie's hesitation.

If Yuan Shao knew that Liu Xie had won the Chuanguo Yuxi and had been staying in Luoyang, he would definitely send troops to snatch it.

Luoyang's military is insufficient, so it is difficult to resist.

Seeing that Liu Xie agreed to move the capital to Yingchuan, both Cao Cao and Liu Bei were relieved.

What Cao Cao thought was that the strategic goal of honoring the emperor by ordering him not to be a minister was finally achieved.

What Liu Bei thought was that if Liu Xie agreed to move the capital, he would not be afraid of Yuan Shao coming to grab the Jade Seal of the Kingdom.

At present, Liu Bei has not even fully reorganized the military strength of the three states of Qing, Xu, and Yang, let alone gathering soldiers from the six states to resist Yuan Shao. It is very unwise to start a war with Yuan Shao at this time.

When the dust on moving the capital was settled, Liu Bei resigned from Liu Xie.

Liu Xie was taken aback: "Won't Uncle Huang go to Yingchuan with me?"

Liu Bei shook his head and declined politely: "Yuan Ni destroyed Gongsun Zan, and the three northern states are all under his control. If he learns that His Majesty moved his capital to Yingchuan, Yuan Ni will definitely take Qingzhou first, so as to become a whale."

"I have to return to Qingzhou as soon as possible to defend against Yuan Ni; Your Majesty sits firmly in Yingchuan and orders the six states to unite."

"In this way, Yuan Ni can be broken, and the Han Dynasty can be prosperous!"

Although Liu Xie wanted Liu Bei to go to Yingchuan to stabilize the situation together, Liu Xie couldn't refuse Liu Bei's reasons.

Liu Bei's presence in Qingzhou is equivalent to hanging a sharp knife in Yuan Shao's confidant.

If Yuan Shao wanted to attack Xudu, he had to pull out the sharp knife of Qingzhou first!

Seeing that Liu Bei was about to leave, Ma Rike, Yang Biao, Zhang Miao, Chen Gong and others became more active again.

Although Liu Xie decided to move the capital to Yingchuan, the official positions of the ministers remained unchanged.

Ma Rike was Taifu, Yang Biao was Taiwei, Zhang Miao was Situ, and Chen Gong was Shangshu. These officials were not dismissed by Liu Xie just because the capital was moved to Yingchuan.

Without Liu Bei's support for Cao Cao, wouldn't it be easy to handle Cao Cao?
"Your Majesty, General Zhengbei's words are justified. Resisting Yuan Ni is the most important thing and cannot be ignored." Zhang Miao took the lead, speaking convincingly, as if he really cared about the situation in Qingzhou.

Ma Rixun also said: "Your Majesty, General Zhengbei has been away from Qingzhou for a long time, and he should return to Qingzhou as soon as possible, otherwise Yuan Ni will raise his troops and attack Qingzhou without General Zhengbei in charge, so it will be difficult to hold on."

Afterwards, Yang Biao, Chen Gong and other ministers came out one after another, perfectly explaining what it means to unite parties and fight differences.

Looking at each of the ministers, wishing to expel Liu Bei as soon as possible, Liu Xie became even more angry.

"General Zhengbei is dedicated to the great man, but the court officials cannot tolerate General Zhengbei."

"If I hadn't recognized General Zhengbei as the emperor's uncle, how would General Zhengbei be disappointed?"

At this moment, Cao Cao suddenly came out and said loudly: "Your Majesty, General Zhengbei has the credit for sending back the Jade Seal of Chuan Kingdom, how can he not reward him?"

Zhang Miao suddenly felt something was wrong, and quickly interrupted: "General Zhengdong, what you said is wrong. Your Majesty has already recognized General Zhengbei as the emperor's uncle. Isn't this a reward?"

Cao Cao laughed: "Zhang Situ, Your Majesty's recognition of General Zhengbei as the emperor's uncle is an affair; it is justice for General Zhengbei to send back the Jade Seal of Chuanguo."

"Wouldn't it be chilling for loyal people not to reward those who have made meritorious deeds?"

After finishing speaking, Cao Cao turned to Liu Xie and said: "Your Majesty, I believe that General Bei can be promoted to be General Zuo and enjoy the right to open the government. He can be ordered to station troops in Qingzhou to conquer the north without being restrained by the court officials."

Zhang Miao stared at Cao Cao sternly: "General Zhengdong, the frontier generals cannot enjoy the right to open the government, and they are subject to the restraint of the court ministers. This is the law of the first emperor, how can it be easily changed?"

"If the generals are not restrained, and there is Dong Ni's chaos, can you bear the responsibility?"

Cao Cao laughed: "Zhang Situ, you are serious. How can General Zhengbei be compared with Dong Ni? Could it be that the emperor's uncle of the great Han will rebel and not be a minister?"

Zhang Miao's face suddenly became gloomy.

The old friends of the past are now increasingly divided in political views.

Liu Bei was not moved by Cao Cao's instigation, and there was a gentle smile throughout the whole process.

You fight for yours, don't take me!
Liu Xie's complexion is not good. Yesterday it was Ma Rizun, today it is Zhang Miao. Does this mean that Liu Bei will not give up if he is not labeled as a traitor?

"Zhang Situ, you've said it before." Liu Xie spoke slowly, his tone a bit colder.

Zhang Miao's face changed again, and he quickly argued to Liu Xie: "Your Majesty, the minister made a slip of the tongue. General Zheng Bei will not rebel against the minister, but the matter of General Zuo's opening of the mansion should be considered by Your Majesty."

Seeing that Zhang Miao was deflated, Chen Gong hurriedly came out and said, "Your Majesty, the opening of the mansion is very involved. If the left general opens the mansion, then the former general, the right general, the rear general, the Wei general, the hussar general, and the chariot general Don't they all have to open the house?"

Chen Gong said this purely to muddy the water on purpose.

Although these generals have the right to open the mansion, they are not usually set up front, back, left, and right. How can they open the mansion if they are not set up now?
What's more, General Wei, General Hussars, and Generals Cheqi are all idle jobs assigned by Liu Xie's cronies, and they have never opened a mansion at all.

The only one who opened the mansion was Lu Bu, the great general of Jianwei.

Liu Xie clenched his fists, his heart was already on fire.

"I'm already in charge, why do ministers and ministers repeatedly violate my will?"

"I am the Son of Heaven!"

However, the ministers would not pay much attention to Liu Xie's voice.

Zhang Miao and Chen Gong took the lead, and Ma Rike, Yang Biao and other ministers also came out one after another. They all believed that it was against the law of the first emperor to let Liu Bei lead General Zuo to open the government office.

The fierce quarrel annoyed Lu Bu.

Lu Bu had already reached an agreement with Liu Bei. One of them was in the court and the other was in the frontier state. Naturally, he wanted to favor Liu Bei.

"Bianzhou is an important place, so it is necessary to adapt measures to local conditions. Establishing a government to govern affairs and selecting talented and good generals can increase the morale of the soldiers to fight the enemy. A group of literati who don't know how to fight are messing around here. Why?"

"Could it be that Er and others have already had an affair with Yuan Ni?"

Lu Bu's voice was loud, and this burst of scolding directly made the noisy court quiet.

But what followed were pairs of angry eyes.

"Lu Bu, how dare you frame us for having an affair with Yuan Ni?"

"Our loyalty to His Majesty can be learned from the sun and the moon."

"You are a warrior, how do you know the art of fighting?"

"Haven't you heard of the plan to fight against soldiers?"

"If there are no literati like us, who will raise food, grass and soldiers for you warriors?"

"Don't think that you can slander us just because you are a general."

"Lu Bu, do you want to emulate Dong Ni and be proud of martial arts?"

"Hmph, you're an ungrateful person if you don't change your nature as a thief."

"."

Lu Bu's words were like stabbing a hornet's nest, and directly ushered in bursts of accusations and abuse.

Even if Lu Bu was brave and formidable on the battlefield, it is difficult to parry the fierce words of the ministers at this moment.

This group of officials didn't dare to provoke Liu Bei, nor did they dare to provoke Cao Cao, so they all vented their anger on Lu Bu, who was born in a humble background and had a bad past.

Lu Bu was so angry that he drew his sword on the spot.

Seeing that the situation was about to undergo a fundamental change, Liu Bei took a stride and pressed Lu Bu's right hand holding the hilt of his sword: "Brother Fengxian, don't fall into the trap."

"The Son of Heaven bestowed upon you the grace of going to the palace with a sword, not for you to draw the sword privately!"

Lu Bu suddenly woke up, and bursts of cold sweat rolled down his back.

If Lu Bu had really drawn his sword just now, then this great general would be finished.

"Fortunately, Xuande reminded me, otherwise the villain in this Marquis would have plotted." Lu Bu's tone trembled.

Liu Bei said quickly, "Brother Feng Xian, present the sword to Your Majesty!"

Lu Bu understood, immediately took off the sword around his waist, and strode towards Liu Xie.

Then he knelt down on one knee and handed the sword to Liu Xie: "Your Majesty, please hold the sword!"

Clang.

Liu Xie drew his sword and said, "In your eyes, is there still me?"

For a moment, the court was quiet again.

All the ministers lowered their heads, not daring to look at Liu Xie, and secretly scolded Lu Bu for being "shameless".

If Lu Bu draws his sword, the ministers will be able to impeach Lu Bu for being rude.

If Lu Bu was angry and cut people down, Lu Bu's general would no longer be necessary.

But now that Liu Xie draws his sword, the nature is different.

Liu Xie wants to kill someone, who dares to hide?
Cao Cao looked at Liu Bei with a little more surprise.

Cao Cao knew why all the ministers suddenly targeted Lu Bu.

Among them, the one with rhythm is Zhong Yao who secretly joined Cao Cao!

Seeing that Lu Bu was about to fall into the trap, Liu Bei suddenly stopped Lu Bu and asked Lu Bu to present the sword to Liu Xie, directly ending the plot against Lu Bu.

"really!"

"Liu Bei cooperated with me, and at the same time let Lu Bu restrain me."

"It's really insidious!"

"But how long can you protect Lu Bu?"

"For someone as impulsive, irritable and ungrateful as Lu Bu, how easy it is to plot against him."

Cao Cao squinted his eyes, quietly scanning back and forth between Liu Bei and Lu Bu.

Liu Xie held a long sword in his hand, as if he wanted to vent his grievances and depression, he cursed at each of the ministers, and finally chopped off a corner of the table with his sword.

"My intention has been decided. I will promote General Zhengbei to be General Zuo, who will enjoy the right to open the government and station troops in Qingzhou to guard against Yuan's rebellion. Except for me, General Zuo will not be restrained by the court officials."

"If someone questions my decision again, there is such a table!"

It was rare for Liu Xie to be domineering for a while, and all the ministers dared not raise their heads.

Within two days, Liu Bei was first awarded the golden seal and purple ribbon of the emperor's uncle, and then the golden seal and purple ribbon of General Zuo. None of the officials dared to impeach Liu Bei easily.

The rumors that Yuan Shao spread in Luoyang also dissipated.

Outside Luoyang City.

Liu Xie couldn't let go: "Uncle Huang, although I am in charge of the government, I have not completely controlled the government. The slander of the minister has made Uncle Huang feel wronged."

Liu Bei quickly replied: "Your Majesty, don't think so. Because of Dong Ni, the ministers of the DPRK and China are on guard against the generals. This is human nature, and I have no intention of blaming him!"

Liu Xie said with emotion: "All the ministers in the court are famous and noble, but in terms of their virtues, they are not as good as the emperor's uncle who repays grievances with virtue."

"Uncle Huang is going to Qingzhou, I don't know when we will meet again."

Liu Bei said awe-inspiringly: "As long as your majesty has an edict, even if you travel thousands of miles, you will return on horseback."

After exchanging pleasantries, Liu Bei asked where Yuan Shu was now.

A trace of contempt flashed in Liu Xie's eyes: "Yuan Gonglu has become a prisoner, but he asks for extravagant expenses every day."

"I wanted to get Yuan Shu back to win the hearts of Yuan's old officials, but I never thought that Yuan Shu would get worse and be rude to me because he didn't have honey water to drink."

"I couldn't get enough anger, so I threw Yuan Shu in Guanzhong, and let him experience the hardships of the people's livelihood together with the refugees in Guanzhong."

"As a result, Yuan Shu vomited blood and died after being ridiculed by several refugees."

The corner of Liu Bei's mouth twitched slightly.

Let Yuan Shu experience the hardships of people's livelihood?
If Yuan Shu had this heart, he would not be in the situation he is today.

Liu Bei had no sympathy for Yuan Shu. At the beginning, because of Yuan Shu's betrayal of the alliance, Liu Bei also spread the word that the Quartet would not die with Yuan Shu.

If it wasn't for appeasing the old officials of the Yuan family in Huainan, Yuan Shu would have been killed long ago.

Before Liu Bei came to Luoyang, Guan Yu also sent someone to send a letter to Liu Bei, asking Liu Bei to confirm Yuan Shu's life and death.

Now that he heard the news of Yuan Shu's death, Liu Bei felt relieved.

Liu Bei restrained his face slightly, and his tone became a bit more dignified: "Your Majesty, before parting, I have something to say, your Majesty, please remember it."
