The Great Thief of the Three Kingdoms, save Mrs. Du at the beginning

Chapter 205 Xiao Liulin was granted the title of King of Zhuo County, and the general of Luoyang changed

"Ahem, there are more than 20 soldiers and horses in training, and we need to expand the army by another [-]. Zhang Rang, what do you think he is going to do?"

When Liu Hong was angry, he coughed violently and turned pale. However, the words he asked made Zhang Rang standing beside him couldn't help but his eyelids twitching.

Zhang Rang did not dare to neglect, and hurriedly held his hands to Liu Hong and said:
"Your Majesty, I don't know whether Liu Yu is a rebel, but Liu Yu has stationed more than 20 troops in Shangdang County, and is training day and night with great momentum. He must be intimidating the court and your Majesty!"

Zhang Rang groveled, and the words he spoke made Liu Hong's chest rise and fall violently.

In fact, even if Zhang Rang didn't say it.

How could Liu Hong not know that Liu Yu suddenly joined the party and conducted vigorous drills? This was not to intimidate and warn Liu Hong!

It's just that Liu Hong doesn't want to admit it.

Zhang Rang felt quite helpless when he saw Liu Hongqi's face turning green and white.

He, Zhang Rang, was one of the ten regular servants in the palace, and after Tong Guan was deposed, he was again used by Liu Hong. It can be said that he was in a high position and had great power.

However, it was of no use to Liu Yu.

Liu Yu was brave and good at fighting, and he had an army of 30 million in his hands.

It can be said that no one dares to provoke him easily.

But it doesn't mean that Liu Yu has too many troops.

Liu Yu currently has 30 to [-] troops under his command, which is actually not too much.

The imperial court in Luoyang has nearly 50 troops, and there are many state and animal husbandry troops in various places. When assembled, it is easy to pull out an army of [-], which is not inferior to Liu Yu in terms of numbers.

However, fighting a war is not just about the number of troops.

Liu Yu was brave and good at fighting. He had never been defeated since he became a general. Even though he only had an army of 30 to 50 men and the imperial court had an army of [-] men, no one in the imperial court was confident that he could defeat Liu Yu.

Therefore, Zhang Rang really couldn't afford to offend Liu Yu, who had a lot of troops at his disposal.

"Your Majesty, I think we should be cautious when dealing with Liu Yu!"

Zhang Rang said solemnly to Liu Hong.

Liu Hong couldn't help but try to control his anger and said to Zhang Rang:
"Tell me, what do you think?"

Upon hearing this, Zhang Rang did not hesitate and said to Liu Hong:
"Your Majesty, I think this servant thinks that Liu Yu suddenly sent soldiers to join the party to intimidate the court. I am afraid it has something to do with the powerful chamber of commerce and Liu Lin!"

"His Majesty asked aristocratic families from all over the country to boycott the Qiangsheng Chamber of Commerce, which should have made Liu Yu feel dissatisfied. After all, the Qiangsheng Chamber of Commerce is the mainstay of Liu Yu's money making."

"And His Majesty put Liu Lin under house arrest in the palace. Liu Yu should be afraid that Your Majesty would do any harm to Liu Lin. Also, Liu Yu was afraid that Your Majesty had the intention to deal with him, Liu Yu, so Chen Bing went to the party and made a Send troops to Luoyang at any time."

"Of course, we cannot rule out that Liu Yu has the intention to attack Luoyang and replace His Majesty!"

Zhang Rang told the possible reasons why Liu Yu and Chen Bing joined the party one by one, making Liu Hong feel recognized.

But after agreeing, Liu Hong became even more angry.

"Damn Liu Yu, I shouldn't have supported him before. Now he is really a huge hidden danger. I really want to gather an army to destroy him Liu Yu!" Liu Hong said angrily.

Zhang Rang was speechless when he heard Liu Hong said that he really wanted to gather an army to destroy Liu Yu.

I immediately felt that there was a reason for what Liu Yu did.

"Zhang Rang, what do you think I should do? Why not let Liu Biao and Liu Yan lead the troops into Luoyang!" Liu Hong said.

"This, Your Majesty, no, absolutely no!" Zhang Rang was immediately shocked when he heard that Liu Hong really wanted to gather an army to fight Liu Yu, and hurriedly tried to dissuade him.

"Your Majesty, Liu Yu is brave and good at fighting. He has many soldiers and horses under his command. There may be no generals in the court who can resist him!"

"Moreover, now that Liu Yu has surrendered the grasslands and the Western Regions, even if Liu Yu is defeated, he can escape. But if we are defeated, it is Liu Yu who captures Luoyang. Your Majesty, we cannot bet!"

Zhang Rang explained to Liu Hong, but Liu Hong was quite shocked after hearing this.

Indeed, as Zhang Rang said, it is no exaggeration to say that Liu Yu was brave and good at fighting and was the number one general of the Han Dynasty. Coupled with the large number of soldiers and horses under his command, there was no general in the court who could fight against Liu Yu. Liu Yu could even escape. Go to the grasslands and the Western Regions.

"It doesn't matter whether we fight or not. He has sent troops to Dangjun now. Who knows when he will attack Luoyang? What do you think I should do?" Liu Hong's voice was quite angry, which gave Zhang Rang a headache.

Zhang Rang walked around anxiously, and suddenly he had a flash of inspiration and said to Liu Hong:

"Your Majesty, although I don't know what Liu Yu is thinking. However, I also know that Liu Yu attaches great importance to reputation and does a lot of giving porridge and food to the people. Therefore, Liu Yu should not want to go to war with the imperial court, otherwise he would blatantly If he fights against the imperial court, not to mention the unwillingness of the imperial court, even the people of the world will call him Liu Yu!"

"So, let me guess that the reason why Liu Yu and Chen soldiers went to Dang County is because His Majesty asked people to boycott the powerful chamber of commerce, which made Liu Yu feel dissatisfied, and His Majesty also put Liu Lin under house arrest. Liu Yu was afraid that Your Majesty would do any harm to Liu Lin. What’s more, Liu Yu doesn’t know His Majesty’s attitude.”

"Of course the Qiangsheng Chamber of Commerce must boycott it. After all, Liu Yu is already very powerful and cannot be allowed to continue to be powerful. However, His Majesty should also show his attitude towards Liu Yu and see if Liu Yu really wants to fight against the imperial court!"

Zhang Rang said.

Liu Hong listened to Zhang Rang's words. If he could avoid a life-and-death battle with Liu Yu, Liu Hong would be willing to do so, but he was confused and said:

"Then what attitude do you want from me?"

Zhang Rang did not hesitate and said: "Your Majesty, the eldest prince Liu Zhuan, the second prince Liu Xie, and Liu Yu are all very old. It is time for them to be crowned kings."

"If Your Majesty gives Liu Lin a prince, I believe Liu Yu also knows that Your Majesty does not want to quarrel with him, so he will naturally not risk the disapproval of the world and rebel!"

"Of course, if Your Majesty crowns Liu Lin the king, but Liu Yu still refuses to retreat and returns Chen soldiers to join the party, then Liu Yu will rebel. At that time, he should immediately summon the troops from Jingzhou, Yizhou, and Yangzhou to march into Sili! "

Zhang Rang did give a solution, or test Liu Yu's strategy.

Although Liu Hong really wanted to kill Liu Yu and didn't want to crown Liu Lin the king at all, Liu Hong had to admit that he didn't want to fight Liu Yu to the death, let alone bear the fact that the imperial court was defeated.

"That's Liu Lin's advantage. Okay, I'll leave this matter to you!"

Liu Hong was quite dissatisfied and said.

"Promise!" Zhang Rang couldn't help but breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that Liu Hong didn't act impulsively, and accepted the promise.

Just when Liu Hong solved the problem and relaxed a little, a feeling of dizziness swept over him, and his eyesight went dark.

"Your Majesty, your Majesty, what's wrong with you? Don't scare me. Doctor, please call the doctor. Your Majesty has fainted...

Liu Hong fell ill and became bedridden.

Zhang Rang quickly took care of the tasks that Liu Hong gave to Zhang Rang, and finally declared in the court that the eldest prince Liu Zhui was the King of Hedong, the second prince Liu Xie was the King of Nanyang, and the third prince Liu Linzhuo was the prince of the county.

As soon as the titles of these three kings came out, the government and the public were immediately in an uproar.

All the civil and military ministers couldn't understand how this king was granted the title!
It is a relatively normal thing for a prince to be crowned king.

But what kind of king is given has different meanings.

Is the eldest prince Liu Zhui the king of Hedong?
The third prince, Prince Liu Linzhuo?

Even the second prince Liu Xie was granted the title of King of Nanyang?

What is this operation?
If the eldest son is the crown prince, then the eldest prince Liu Zhuan should not be named the King of Hedong, while the second prince Liu Xie should be named the King of Nanyang!
And based on talent, intelligence, and popularity, the third prince Liu Lin should not be named King of Zhuo County, while the second prince Liu Xie should be named King of Nanyang!

You know, Nanyang is the hometown of the emperor, and for three princes, it is no small matter that Liu Xie was granted the title of King of Nanyang.

Not to mention, it was very common for the eldest prince to be granted the title of King of Hedong, and the third prince, Liu Lin, was granted the title of Prince of the Frontier County of Youzhou. It looked like he had been left out in the cold!
All the civil and military ministers really couldn't understand.

However, everyone felt one thing, that is, the third prince had fallen out of favor.

Before, Liu Hong took them to Nanyang to visit Liu Lin, and he had already revealed his intention to establish a heir apparent.But when it arrived, nothing happened.

Now Liu Lin looked left out again.

This puzzled all the civil and military ministers.

You must know that Liu Lin was born with visions, and he was later dubbed a child prodigy.

No matter how you look at it, Liu Lin has high hopes.

He is the king of resurgence of the next generation of great men!

How could it be possible to be left out?
Some loyal ministers who wanted to be good to the Han Dynasty all asked Liu Hong to be crowned king again and Liu Lin to be the King of Nanyang. However, they were all blocked from the palace gate by Zhang Chang.

Liu Hong is sick and doesn’t see anyone!

These words made all the civil and military ministers feel helpless.

However, Liu Hong was indeed ill, and even after issuing the edict to confer kingship, there was no way to hold a ceremony to confer kingship for Liu Zhui, Liu Xie, and Liu Lin.

Liu Xie was the king of Nanyang, and Liu Lin and Liu Zhu were the sons of the queen, but they both became princes far away from the crown prince.

The influence of a country's crown prince's policy obviously goes beyond that.

The General's Mansion.

"Pengpengpeng! Damn it, why is this happening? Liu Xie became the king of Nanyang? Doesn't your majesty know that I am from Nanyang?"

In the hall, He Jin angrily smashed things in the hall and roared angrily.

Facing He Jin's anger, everyone in the hall was trembling.

"Laifu, where is the Queen? Is there any news about the Queen?" After venting his anger, He Jin tried his best to not be so angry and asked the housekeeper beside him.

The housekeeper heard He Jin's question and said with some trembling:

"Back to the master, I am useless. The news sent to the palace has not been returned. However, the news I heard about is that the queen... the queen is probably under house arrest and banned from Changle Palace!"

As soon as Butler He's words fell, the hall fell silent for an instant.

He Jin stared at the housekeeper with wide eyes.

Even Li Ru, whose presence was not very strong in the corner, opened his eyes wide and looked at the housekeeper.

What did they hear?
The queen was placed under house arrest and banned from Changle Palace?
"How is it possible? How is this possible! Impossible, my sister is the queen, and isn't Lin'er very popular with His Majesty? How could he be grounded?" He Jin came to his senses and couldn't accept it, and immediately said in shock and anger.

However, Li Ru came back to his senses and thought that Liu Hong had secretly asked aristocratic families from all over the country to stop the business of the powerful chamber of commerce, and also made Liu Lin, who had previously been a promising prince, the king of Zhuojun. Li Ru couldn't help but jump.

At this moment, Li Ru felt that things were not as simple as he thought.

Before, Liu Hong secretly asked aristocratic families from all over the world to stop the business of Qiang Sheng Chamber of Commerce. He thought that Liu Hong was afraid that Liu Yugong would shock the master and that he could not control Liu Yu, so he stopped the business of Qiang Sheng Chamber of Commerce.

But now it seems that it is not that simple.

Even thinking about Liu Yu and Chen's troops going to Dang County, practicing vigorously, and connecting them together, Li Ru felt his heart pounding.

This Liu Yu actually had a huge conflict with Liu Hong!

Maybe Liu Yu was trying to intimidate the court!
Li Ru couldn't help but take a breath of cold air, but at this moment, Li Ru's head was spinning rapidly.

Why did Liu Yu have a conflict with Liu Hong?

Why did Liu Yu and even Chen Bing join the party, and then Liu Hong made three princes kings?

Why was the queen grounded, and why was the third prince Liu Lin, who had the most hope for unification, actually the Prince of Zhuojun who was banned?
Questions and answers came to mind, and Li Ru finally found the key to the problem!
Liu Lin!

sizzle...

Thinking of the possibility, Li Ru was shocked and couldn't help but take a breath. Could this be true?
……

……

Bingzhou, Yunzhong County, Tiansheng City.

Prince Wu's Mansion, in the study.

Liu Yuzai quietly held a military book in his hand.

Yuhuatian walked in, held his hands to Liu Yu, and said:
"My lord, there is news from Luoyang that Liu Lin has been crowned king, but the other two princes have also been crowned kings, the eldest prince Liu Zhui, King of Hedong, and the second prince Liu Xie, King of Nanyang, and Liu Lin, Prince of Zhuo County."

"In addition, His Majesty fell ill. According to Zhang Miao's estimation, the disease in the body should have broken out. He may not die soon, within a month or two!"

Liu Yu couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief after hearing Yu Huatian's words and said:
"I know, let the more than 20 troops led by Yue Yun come back and station them outside Yanmen Pass!"

"promise!"

When Yuhuatian heard Liu Yu's words, he immediately backed away.

Liu Yu couldn't help but look to the south where Luoyang was.

Liu Hong will die.

Then this big man's world will be in chaos.

……

……

Liu Yu's order quickly reached Yue Yun, who did not hesitate and immediately led more than 20 Chen troops to retreat outside Yanmen Pass with the Shangdang army.

Liu Hong, who was in the hospital bed in Luoyang, saw that Liu Yu had indeed retreated, and he immediately breathed a sigh of relief, but he felt that Liu Yu was afraid of being reviled by the people in the world and did not dare to rebel.

Liu Hong "knew" Liu Yu's attitude, so he dropped his guard against Liu Yu and began to fight against the disease.

Liu Hong had a premonition that he might have a bad premonition when he fell ill this time.

Just as Liu Yu and Liu Hong were having a secret game, Li Ru quickly rushed to Liangzhou.

Liangzhou.

Wuwei County, County Sheriff's Mansion.

In the hall, Li Que, Guo Si, Niu Fu, Dong Yue, Duan Xuan, Hu Zhen and other close friends of Dong Zhuo gathered.

There are also forces such as Ma Teng and Han Sui that were recovered by Dong Zhuo.

Today, Dong Zhuo has 15 troops and horses under his command. It can be said that the troops are strong and the horses are strong. There are many soldiers and generals, and he is very high-spirited.

However, Li Ru, who hurried back and was covered with dust, said one word, which shocked Dong Zhuo, Ma Teng, Han Sui, Li Que, Guo Si, Niu Fu and others.

"Father-in-law, good news, good news. The third prince Liu Lin may be the son of King Wu Liu Yu. Moreover, Liu Yu and Your Majesty are already at odds with each other. Now the General He Jin is in a state of being abandoned by Your Majesty at any time, and Ten Chang Shi also supports the second prince Liu Xie, and is bound to have a conflict with He Jin. Your Majesty is seriously ill, and Ru has already paid a lot of money to get the news from the imperial doctor. His Majesty's illness may not be cured, and the opportunity for us to march to Luoyang with the help of He Jin has arrived!"

In the hall, even though Li Ru was tired of life, he was quite excited. What he said shocked Dong Zhuo, Ma Teng, and Han Sui, and their expressions changed drastically.

What did they hear?
The third prince Liu Lin is Liu Yu's son?

Liu Hong is seriously ill. I'm afraid he can't be cured?
General He Jin clashed with Zhang Rang's ten permanent servants. Is there an opportunity for them to march into Luoyang?
