Army of the Undead in the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 190
In the Proclamation Room of the main hall of Weiyang Palace in the imperial palace, besides Cao Cao, the other [-] princes, headed by Yuan Shao, stood there with their own personal guards, surrounding Liu Bian and Yu Jituan in the middle.

Although Liu Bian is only a Hongnong King now, but his predecessor was Han Shaodi, who among the seventeen princes has never worshiped him in this main hall?Including the alliance leader Yuan Shao, who was promoted from an ordinary school captain under He Jin to Qi Xianghou Bohai prefect, among them was canonized by Liu Bian, so seeing him at this time, he hurriedly bowed his hands to pay respects.

The most important thing for celebrities and celebrities is the theory of Enze. These ten or so princes are more or less related to Liu Bian, so at this time, although everyone is ambitious and wants to pick up some bargains, it can be seen that Liu Bian entered Luoyang first. In the imperial palace, and there are not many soldiers and horses, only a white-haired old man is with him, there is no such thing as a tiger wolf, and he is not taken seriously.

But this scene always has to be done.

So Yuan Shao arched his hands and said to Liu Bian: "The prefect of Bohai, Yuan Shao, has seen His Royal Highness King Hongnong. In the past, it was rumored that His Royal Highness was killed by Dong Bandit. Shao Zi was deeply saddened, and then together with Cao Mengde, he summoned the princes of the world and poured out the whole Bohai Sea. Zhibing thought that His Highness would take revenge, but unexpectedly His Highness escaped by luck, it is really the protection of the late emperor!"

Seeing the grief and indignation on the old boy's face, Liu Bian knew that he couldn't hinder He Jin's promotion, so he deliberately said a few words at this time, anyway, Dong Zhuo had already run away.However, when they raised their troops in the first place, they were under the banner of Liu Bian's injustice, which meant that the current emperor Liu Xie was not qualified to be emperor, and Liu Bian was the eldest son of the first emperor, and he was the rightful successor.Dong Zhuo deposed Liu Bian and established Liu Xie as emperor in order to corrupt the ethics of Gangchang, which was despised by the world.

This is the biggest excuse for the eighteenth princes to raise troops, but at this time all the seventeenth princes have arrived at the Luoyang Palace. After seeing the authentic eldest son of the Han family, Liu Bian, no one pointed out the matter, and still called him King Hongnong , obviously deliberately not mentioning the name of the soldier.

At this time, Dong Zhuo had already fled to Chang'an with Liu Xie. If the princes from all walks of life were willing, they could naturally put forward the slogan "Dong Zhuo disturbs Gangchang" in an instant and re-establish Liu Bian as emperor. The pattern of the two emperors of the East and the West.But in this way, these princes will be under the imperial court again, and obey Liu Bian's dispatch. How can this make the princes of all walks of life willing to support their own troops?
The princes from all walks of life came forward to see Liu Bian one after another, and they all called him "King Hongnong", and no one called him "Emperor". This person is Sun Jian, the prefect of Changsha.

Sun Jian once assassinated Liu Bian in front of Lv Bu to save his life. Seeing him now, he was always worried that Liu Bian would expose it to him.Moreover, Sun Jian has already suffered heavy losses after several battles, and the total strength in his hands is no more than 5000. Once any prince takes the opportunity to annex him, isn't it just a blink of an eye?
Sun Jian?

Liu Bian also sneered, but did not point out his actions, he was already thinking in his heart to find an opportunity to "give" that fake Chuan Guo Yuxi to him.Liu Bian knew about the affairs of three parts of the world. The Sun family of Eastern Wu is the descendant of Sun Jian. It is impossible for him and Sun Jian to reconcile now. Back, such a powerful enemy, how can you rest assured?

Seeing that Liu Bian hadn't exposed him, Sun Jian felt relieved, but Sun Jian, the tiger from the east of the Yangtze River, had something to fall into Liu Bian's hands. At this moment, he regarded Liu Bian as a thorn in his side, a thorn in his flesh, how could he be kind?

Seeing the flash of coldness in his eyes for an instant, Liu Bian knew that this guy probably had murderous intentions, but he didn't say it clearly, the two smirked and missed the past.

The other princes naturally didn't know that Sun Jian had a problem with Liu Bian, so they didn't care, but Yu Jiqian had been practicing Taoism for many years, and he had read hostility from Sun Jian, and his white eyebrows frowned slightly.

Looking at Yuan Shao in front of him, Liu Bian recalled Cai Wenji's plan for him back then, and retreated the army of eighteen princes outside Sishui Pass with just a letter, and couldn't help but secretly smiled, saying: "Yuan Benchu's demeanor is still the same, this time he summoned the princes of the world to attack Dong, it’s really a great contribution; the king lived in Hongnong City a few days ago, where the city is small and sparsely populated, it is really unbearable, why not go to the Bohai Sea with Benchu? It also saves the king from eating in Hongnong If it’s not good to live, it’s not good to endure hardships, what’s your original intention?”

In an instant, Liu Bian noticed a few drops of cold sweat dripping from Yuan Shao's forehead: Just kidding, he Liu Bian went to Bohai, so is Bohai's surname Liu or Yuan?Moreover, Liu Bian treated Yuan Shao with kindness, if he treated Liu Bian like Dong Zhuo treated Liu Xie, wouldn't the world ridicule him and call him Yuan Shao a betrayer?

"Young master, don't do it!" Just as Yuan Shao was obsessively thinking about how to reject Liu Bian, the person next to him was Yu Ji.Yu Ji used to have the idea of ​​letting Liu Bian abandon Hongnong City and go to Bohai Sea to seek refuge with Yuan Shao, but it is not what it used to be. Hongnong City at that time was just a crumbling dry city that could not last long, but now there is Ice Crown City With the horns of each other, and the land that can be planted at any time due to the influence of the Frozen Throne, plus Mingjing Lake, how can Bohai compare with it?So when Liu Bian said this, Yu Ji didn't have time to think about it, and immediately vetoed it, but in a hurry, he called out Young Master Liu Bian.

"Your Highness, Hongnong City is no longer considered a small city after the people from all over the place defected to it. As long as it continues to develop according to the current situation, it will become a big city in a few years. Why go to Bohai Sea?" Yu Ji said in Liu Bow to Bian's side and clasped his hands, afraid that Liu Bian would abandon Hongnong if he really wanted to, only then did he realize that it was not appropriate to reveal his original identity, so he quickly changed his words.Fortunately, the other princes were watching Yuan Shao's dilemma with great interest, but they didn't pay attention.

"What this old man said is true." Seeing that someone opposed Liu Bian, Yuan Shao found an ally in an instant, wiped the cold sweat off his forehead, and bowed his hands to Ji Gong. Since this person can come with Liu Bian, it must be It was He Jin's old department back then, if he spoke, Liu Bian should be able to listen.After meeting with Yu Ji, he said to Liu: "The Bohai Sea is too far away from Hongnong. Your Highness must suffer from the exhaustion of boats and horses all the way. Moreover, the Bohai Sea is located on the coast. Under the erosion of the sea wind, the food and clothing are not as abundant as those in the Central Plains. It's better not to go, Your Highness!"

"In that case, Yuan Benchu ​​should recommend me a good place to live. After all, Hongnong City is too small to live in." Liu Bian looked at Yu Ji with a sly look, and smiled at Yuan Shao again, looking at him With this appearance, it is obvious that he intends to rely on Yuan Shao and not leave.

Seeing the look in Liu Bian's eyes, Yu Ji knew that he must have a plan, so he didn't say much.

He has always been kind to Yuan Shao, so Yuan Shao naturally didn't want to say much, when he heard that he could not go to Bohai Sea, he was overjoyed, he quickly raised his head and looked around, intending to find all the princes to settle Liu Bian.

But how could the other sixteen princes be fools?He and Yuan Shao are not willing to ask for someone, how can they want to come to confess.Everyone knows that as long as Liu Bian follows, then even if he has an extra burden that can't be shaken off and eats and drinks, that's all. It's probably inevitable that he will point fingers at his territory, but he can't. It's really aggrieved that you can't kill.

Seeing that the princes from all walks of life scattered behind him and retreated a few steps, Yuan Shao sighed, and had no choice but to say to Liu Bian: "Your Highness, we are all people from all over the Kanto region, disasters are rampant right now, the people are struggling, even we can't help but eat and drink. If it is not guaranteed, it is really not suitable for His Highness to live in. According to Shao, the places suitable for His Highness are Xuzhou and other places in the south of the Yangtze River. They are now rich places, and His Highness should be guaranteed to have no worries about food and clothing."

When Yuan Shao said this, the princes from all walks of life nodded in agreement and echoed.

"Since the lords have come from afar to complain about this king, let's just be good people to the end. Since there are no troops in the south of the Yangtze River like all the armies, naturally they don't take this king seriously. How can this king do it?" Go?" Liu Bian put on the appearance of a Tang monk, and said in fear.

The original Liu Bian was originally indecisive and indecisive, so the princes from all walks of life did not suspect him. Although they secretly thought that no one took him seriously, they did not say it clearly. One of them had an idea. It was Yuan Shao's younger brother, Yuan Shu, who stepped forward and cupped his fists and said to Liu Bian, "Since this is the case, why not. Luoyang was originally the capital of the twelve emperors, and His Highness has grown up since he was a child. Why not live here in Luoyang?" In the city, we each provide Your Highness with some food and troops, which can be regarded as our duty. Since Dong Zhuo has gone to Chang'an, Cao Mengde's troops will be stationed at the edge of Luoyang City for protection. What do you think, Your Highness?"

This Yuan Shu has never had any great ambitions. Anyway, his territory is far away from Luoyang, and he can't get any benefits. Moreover, Luoyang has been robbed, burned and dug by Dong Zhuo. There is nothing left, and it is probably a bit scattered. The people are refugees, but food is scarce at this time, so what's the use of them?It's better to be a favor and make this suggestion.As long as Liu Bian accepted it, these princes would be considered to have repaid Liu Bian's favor. As for when Dong Zhuo sent people to fight back to Luoyang, it was none of their business.

The princes looked at each other, obviously seeing Yuan Shu's intentions, so they all nodded in agreement, saying that this method is the most appropriate.

"This." Liu Bian made a hesitant gesture and looked at Yu Ji. Seeing that Yu Ji hadn't spoken, he raised his eyes and looked at the princes from all walks of life: "My dear family."

Before he could speak, Yuan Shao had already taken the lead and said, "Since Your Highness agrees, then Shao will leave first, and start to arrange people to tidy up the palace so that His Highness can rest." Others also rushed to say goodbye, expressing their willingness to help His Highness "clean" royal palace.

As for whether it was really cleaned, everyone knew that the treasures in the palace had already been swept away by Dong Zhuo, and the only thing that could still exist in it now was the Chuanguo Yuxi.

In this way, Luoyang City fell into Liu Bian's hands logically and effortlessly.
