The first general of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 293 What Liu Xie Did

"Damn Wei Tao! Cunning Wei Tao!"

The Weihe River has little water, which naturally made Ma Teng and Han Sui think that someone was storing water upstream. After some investigation, they found that an earthen city had already been built upstream.

Because they suffered from this loss in the previous battle with Wei Tao, Ma Teng and Han Sui also specifically found out about this matter, and the final result is that they have to wait until the cold winter of these months passes.

Ma Teng and Han Sui could not wait so long, and this was the reason for the recruitment of the Qiang people.

Although only 3 to 6 Qiang people have arrived, and [-] to [-] people will come later to help them, but Wei Tao's withdrawal immediately created a problem for the two of them.

However, even if the two faced the same problem, Ma Teng and Han Sui could not come here to discuss as usual, and could only find their own way.

As for wanting to seize the upper river channel, it's not that they haven't thought about it. Unfortunately, Wei Tao also deployed heavy troops and ordered Tai Shici to guard the upper river channel. Unless they attacked at any cost, it would not be so easy.

Under such circumstances, neither Ma Teng nor Han Sui naturally refused to pay the price and sent troops. Anyway, in their view, it was impossible to store much water upstream. In this period of time, they will quickly build a bridge so that the Qiang people can pursue Wei. The army will do.

It can be said that the war that was about to evolve in Xiliang suddenly became peaceful again, causing many people who paid attention to this matter to shake their heads secretly.

However, something happened in Chang'an at this moment. Although it calmed down soon, a letter was sent to Wei Tao's desk in an urgent [-] miles.

"As expected..."

After reading the letter sent by Zhuge Jin, Wei Tao couldn't help but let out a long sigh,
"The emperor really did something, but he still thinks too much about the name of the emperor. He thinks that Cao Jun and I reestablished the emperor after killing Yuan Shao because the heavens doomed you to be the emperor?"

"My lord, I don't know what's going on?"

Hearing Wei Tao's exclamation, Chen Qun on the side was very puzzled. Although Wei Tao's words were somewhat disrespectful, Chen Qun automatically regarded it as something he had never heard of.

The matter of Chang'an City had already been dealt with by Zhuge Jin, and no matter how cleanly it was handled, the matter would probably spread to the world in the near future, so Wei Tao didn't do much to hide it, and just handed over the letter to Chen Qun.

"This……"

After reading it, Chen Qun was speechless, and it took a long time before he spoke.

"The emperor is inexperienced, and this is the case. How should the lord deal with it?"

"Inexperienced? Is the long article trying to say that he is young? Yes, the emperor is not very old, but the emperor has counted so many things, how can he be said to be inexperienced? I am afraid that I will be like Yuan Shao and others. Want to hold the Son of Heaven hostage to order the princes, and even have the heart to usurp the court. Who will let me have the military power and really control Chang'an?"

Wei Tao sneered slightly, Liu Huihui was like this, Wei Tao had expected it a long time ago, otherwise he would not have kept Zhuge Jin in Chang'an.

In fact, what happened was quite simple. Wei Tao wanted to go north to attack Liangzhou, but it was impossible for Sili to leave behind no manpower.

In fact, because of the previous battle with Ma Teng and Han Sui, tens of thousands of wounded soldiers stayed in Sili.

Liu Xie's purpose is also very simple, that is, to take advantage of the absence of the coach Wei Tao, and then use the order of the emperor to forcibly take over the military power.

If there was no confidant like Zhuge Jin, Liu Xie might still have a chance this time.

Because this time Liu Xie's determination really surprised Wei Tao, he was not like before, he just sent someone to go, this time Liu Xie went into battle in person and walked into the barracks in person.

In the 400 years of the Han Dynasty, there are naturally people who are loyal to the emperor, not to mention Wei Tao has always been a loyal minister of the Han Dynasty.

Naturally, such a person would not disobey the emperor's order too much. Under the emperor's order, if he wanted to hand over military power, he would naturally hesitate. Many people are tempted.

It's a pity that at this time Zhuge Jin acted decisively, directly putting all the generals and soldiers who came into contact with the emperor under house arrest, and even refused the emperor's various requests.

Zhuge Jin was Wei Tao's confidant, and before Wei Tao left, he also entrusted the power to him. With the vigorous and resolute actions, the matter suddenly subsided.

Of course, after this incident, Wei Tao has already broken the skin with the emperor, even if Wei Tao wants to make up for it at this time, there is no way to make up for it.

"Hehe... If it wasn't for the fact that most of the emperor's confidantes died under Yuan Shao's sword, I'm afraid it's my turn to worry about being attacked by the enemy at this time, right?"

Facing Wei Tao's words, Chen Qun didn't answer, but soon Wei Tao said with a sneer.

"Ziyu still has something to say. The emperor has already issued an edict ordering me to stop the war with Xiliang, and this edict has been publicized to everyone in Chang'an City. It can also be said to be known to the emperor. I am afraid that your majesty also understands that I may not be able to." I obey this order, but this order is ruining my reputation. As for me, if I obey his order, he will persecute me like this in the future. Unless I put him under house arrest like Dong Zhuo and Yuan Shao, the emperor is taking his life Fighting with me, I never imagined that I, Wei Tao, would have such an honor."

Wei Tao's words seemed to be talking to himself, but Chen Qun beside him was already in a cold sweat.

Why didn't Chen Qun know what Wei Tao meant? What the Son of Heaven is doing now is not so much seeking military power, but rather forcing Wei Tao to make a choice.

Obviously, Liu Xie can still understand that although some soldiers under Wei Tao's command may be loyal to the big man, even those people are also loyal to Wei Tao.

Therefore, for Liu Xie, directly seizing military power is the best achievement, and it doesn't matter if it doesn't matter. The most important thing is Wei Tao's reaction.

After all, today's Son of Heaven is no longer before Yuan Shao, and he doesn't have much real power in his hands, so he can only fight in person.

Even Chen Qun could understand why the Liu Association suddenly launched it at this time.

As soon as Wei Tao was away, Liu Xie was likely to succeed, and Wei Tao could be caught off guard. If Wei Tao was unprepared, then Liu Xie might have gained military power.

The second is that because Wei Tao is away, it is not a temporary thing to rush back to Chang'an. This journey is enough to calm Wei Tao down. Take his life.

It has to be said that there is indeed the word "least intelligent" today, but it is a pity that he was born at an untimely time. Now that the world has been divided, the princes are in chaos, and they are secretly fighting each other.

"Pity……"

Chen Qun secretly sighed. Chen Qun, who was born in a family, naturally hoped that the big man would be strong again. If the big man really had hope, then Chen Qun would definitely do his best to help.

But it was also precisely because Chen Qun came from a noble family, when he thought that the big man was irretrievable, he was naturally more willing to assist others.

Chen Qun has also been in Chang'an for a long time. In his opinion, at least today's people do not have the ability to turn the tide, and the other Han family clansmen, Liu Biao and Liu Zhang are all incompetent "dogs guarding the gate", and they will be condemned sooner or later. take advantage of.

As for Liu Bei, Chen Qun knew about it, but it was really hard for someone from a family like Chen Qun to like Liu Bei.

So at this time, Chen Qun was already prepared to vote for Wei Tao, and immediately bowed to Wei Tao.

"I don't know how the lord wants to be grouped together, but the world is still uncertain, and there are still Cao Cao and Sun Quan who are heroes. Although the prestige of the emperor has declined, the emperor is still the emperor after all, so the lord can treat you kindly and not speak ill. The number of emperors suffered disasters, Now there is no power in Chang'an that belongs to the Son of Heaven. Therefore, my lord, don't worry."

Although it was not stated clearly, it is clear that Chen Qun still prefers to put the emperor under house arrest, and then coerce the emperor to order the world.

Wei Tao shook his head slightly, Wei Tao had already considered this matter, this time he didn't need anyone's advice.

After taking two steps back and forth, Wei Tao finally made up his mind.

"With the threat of the Weihe River, and Ma Teng and Han Sui are reluctant to part with their troops, their troops will definitely hesitate to move forward, and the Qiang people, although they are not afraid of life and death, are not strong without training, so I only need to leave a few The general will be in charge, so the overall situation can be stabilized. Pass my order, Tai Shici is the main general, stick to the upper reaches of the Wei River, Xu Huang and Wei Yan are the deputy generals, to deal with the Qiang people, challenge them as much as possible, and break their spirit. As for Changwen , you sit in the army to advise it, do you have any doubts?"

"promise!"

Although Chen Qun was also curious, he knew better that this was not the time to figure out these things, all he had to do was obey orders.

After all, under Wei Tao's command, Chen Qun is just a rookie.

Wei Tao's prestige was so strong that no one dared to disobey his orders, and the orders were quickly carried out by everyone.

But Wei Tao didn't hesitate anymore, and immediately took Dian Wei out of the camp, heading directly to Chang'an. This time, Wei Tao would handle Chang'an affairs in person.

From Xiliang to Chang'an, it usually takes ten days and a half months to march with a large army, but if you bring a small number of people and don't care about horsepower, you can arrive in a few days.

With Wei Tao's current status, this is naturally possible, so he returned to Chang'an in just a few days.

But this time Wei Tao didn't alarm others too much, only Zhuge Jin knew about Wei Tao's arrival.

"Ziyu, how is the situation now?"

"My lord, since I acted, Your Majesty has not taken any action, and I have not heard any news of His Majesty's anger, because this matter is important, but without my lord's reply, Jin dare not take any action. "

Having said that, Zhuge Jin hesitated a little, and finally spoke in a low voice.

"I think His Majesty is also waiting for the lord, waiting for the lord's decision..."
