The Yuan Family of the Three Kingdoms I call the shots

Chapter 608
Luoyang, the Emperor's Palace.

Ever since he moved to Luoyang from Xuchang, Liu Xie's life has been very comfortable. In any case, the feeling of being controlled by others is different from being in charge of his own family. Feel happy enough.

A son doesn't think his mother is ugly, a dog doesn't think his family is poor, it's his own home on a small land, right?

However, with the changes in the world pattern, Liu Xie's stable days seem to have come to an end.

Luoyang, which was originally coerced by Yuan, Cao, and Liu to check and balance each other, has gradually become surrounded by Yuan Shang's forces with the stability of Guanzhong and the surrender of the Cao family. Even though Yuan Shang hadn't done anything to him yet, Liu Xie already clearly felt that his good days seemed to be coming to an end.

The Cao family was conquered by Yuan Shang. Liu Bei, who was originally in Jingzhou, has now moved his base camp to the middle of Shu. Now Luoyang has almost fallen into the siege of Yuan Shang's forces. As long as Yuan Shang gently moves a little finger, Liu Xie's life and death will be determined. The reason is between the day and night of one sentence.That feeling was almost the same as when he was imprisoned by Dong Zhuo.

Just when Liu Xie was terrified because the north was ruled by Yuan Shang and the Cao family was destroyed, news came from far away Liaodong. It was news from a person who had always been in contact with Liu Xie. When he fell into darkness at this moment, it seemed that he could bring him a ray of light.

This person is Li Ru.

Li Ru sent a message to Liu Xie, telling Liu Xie that he had contacted Xianbei and Huns who were dissatisfied with Yuan Shang in Liaodong, and Tuoba Liwei from the Mobei Grassland also agreed to help him capture Liaodong.

Liu Xie was overjoyed after hearing the letter. Liaodong was Yuan Shang's border in the northeast, and it was also an important town where he held the Xianbei and the Huns. Once he lost his rear and was in danger, Yuan Shang would definitely return to rescue. Now that Zhongzhou has no owner, Yuan Shang will immediately make his capital , I can recruit loyal people eastward to occupy the land of Kanto, and the revival of the Han Dynasty will be just around the corner.

After receiving Li Ru's letter, Liu Xie did not neglect, and hurriedly summoned Xu Shu, Fu Wan, Lu Yu, Yang Xiu, Huangfu Li, Huangfu Jianshou, Zhu Hao and other important officials to discuss the matter.

Liu Xie handed over the secret book sent by Li Ru to everyone for reading, and then told everyone the pros and cons of it, and then said: "Everyone, Li Ru is planning to unite with Xianbei who is dissatisfied with Yuan Shang in the rear of Liaodong. There is Tuoba Liwei, the overlord of the grassland, who is willing to help him achieve his success. Now Yuan Shang's attention is all on the territory of Zhongzhou, and he is neglected in the north. Kexing, what do you guys think?"

Among the ministers, Lu Yu stepped forward and said: "Your Majesty, Li Ru is a traitor of the Han Dynasty, and his evil is no less than Yuan Shang's. Whether his words can be trusted is still in doubt."

Liu Xie waved his hand and said: "Hey~~, Lu Aiqing is too worried, Yuan Shang killed Song Jian, conquered Fanghan, took Li Ru's place of residence, and made him flee to the world. Li Ru is already different from Yuan thief Dai Tian, ​​nothing else matters, for Yuan Shang, he will never show mercy."

Lu Yu nodded, but Yang Xiu asked with a smile: "According to Li Ru's disposition, even though he hates Yuan Shang, he will definitely not help His Majesty to do things for no reason. He must have paid for His Majesty, so he must have something to ask for." ?”

Hearing this, Liu Xie sighed, and said, "Dezu is still wise, and Li Ru wants to bring chaos to Liaodong for me, but he also asks me to promise him three things."

When the ministers heard the words, they all looked at Liu Xie intently, waiting for his news.

Hearing this, Liu Xie couldn't help but heaved a long sigh, and said, "Li Ru, indeed, he made three requests to me. First, he asked me to promulgate a move to pardon him, restore his name as a Hanchen, Zhuo Qi will return to his roots in the future, and avoid wandering suffering."

Everyone did not respond to this. After all, this was Li Ru's original idea, and his ultimate goal of cooperating with the emperor was here.

Seeing that everyone was speechless, Liu Xie immediately said: "The second condition is that he asked for Tuoba Liwei on behalf of Tuoba Liwei, which is to ask me to make Tuoba Liwei king and allow him to establish a country."

As soon as this remark came out, there was an uproar in the audience.

Tuoba Liwei is a foreigner, even though he has made great achievements, it is inevitable to establish a king and establish a country...

Xu Shu frowned, and said: "During the time of Gaozu, the generals of the Han Dynasty were named kings, and there were many people who established the country. ,This issue……"

Huangfu Li thought for a while, and said: "The head of Suotou led by Tuoba Liwei was unknown on the grassland back then. It is incomparable with Ke Bineng, Budugen, Suli, Huchuquan and other big tribes. The problem is that this person is Yuan Shang's hard-core ally, and he helped Yuan Shangping destroy all ethnic groups in the grassland in one fell swoop, and thus became the overlord of the grassland. If he is allowed to betray Yuan Shang, he must get great benefits... Just imagine, if Li Ruo refuses to allow him to become a king and establish a country How could he dare to pull out Yuan Shang's tiger beard so easily?"

Xu Shu heaved a long sigh when he heard the words. Although the words were so reasonable, for some reason, he always felt that something was wrong.

Liu Xie continued: "The third point is the strangest and most suspicious. Li Ru asked me to deprive Xun Yu of his title and decree that his family be disqualified from being an official, but I don't know why?"

When everyone heard this, they couldn't help being stunned.

Excluding Xun Yu's title is nothing more than that, but the Xun family can be qualified to become an official. This is to say that the Xun family is rebellious.It's a bit clear that it is forcing the family to a dead end.

Although the Xun family has always been subordinate to the Cao family, and now they have joined the Yuan family with the Cao family, but in order to target only the Xun family, doesn't Yuan Shang still have many minions?

Xu Shu frowned, and after thinking for a while, he asked the Son of Heaven, "Your Majesty, did Li Ru ever say that he targeted Xun Yu so much, why?"

Liu Xie shook his head, and said: "It's true, but the reason..."

"What reason?"

"It's just that he had a rift with Xun Yu in the past, and wanted to take this opportunity to avenge his past, and asked me to help him with this."

Fu Wan was a little surprised when he heard this, and said, "There is a rift between Li Ru and Xun Yu? Do these two know each other?"

Liu Xie shook his head and said, "I also don't know..."

Yang Xiu thought for a while, and said: "I feel that this matter is not that simple. Your Majesty will delay it for another two days and send someone to Xuchang to investigate before making a decision. In addition, the three conditions proposed by Li Ru, we are considered to agree. You can't do it all. You should only do one of them first, and leave the other two as restraints. Otherwise, His Majesty agreed to all of them at once, but let him be willing to be used by His Majesty in the future. This person is not a fuel-efficient lamp in the first place. ah."

Liu Xie nodded and said, "Yang Aiqing's words are very true."

**********************
Ten days later, Liu Xie sent someone to Xuchang to inquire, but he heard that after Yuan Shang sent all the Cao family to Yecheng, although he retained the talents and generals left behind, none of them favored Xun Yu.

As for Xun Yu, Yuan Shang kept sending people to his mansion to send precious gold silks and satins of various colors, and Zhuo Tianfeng, Ju Shou and other important officials invited Xun Yu to banquets on his behalf every day, a small banquet on three days, a big banquet on five days, and a big banquet on the fifth day. Picking up gold and getting off the horse to pick up silver are even more intense than the methods Cao Cao used to win over Guan Yu back then.

Moreover, according to rumors, Yuan Shang has ruled out envoys to go to Luoyang. In addition to representing Cao Zhi as the Grand Tutor, he also represented Xun Yu as the Great Situ by the way, and was specially appointed to be in charge of various government affairs in the Kanto states.
