Three Kingdoms New Emperor

Chapter 66

In the third year of Chuping, April [-], on this date, Liu Xie would almost always say a few words in his sleep.Because at that time, there was a big event in Chang'an City, Dong Zhuo was about to be eliminated by Wang Yun, Lu Bu and others.This incident will bring about a major change in the world situation.Afterwards, the Xiliang army rebelled, and Chang'an was destroyed. Several years of conquests and killings turned Guanzhong into a land of Guanluo with no people for thousands of miles.This is another reason for the great loss of vitality of the big man.

Liu Xie sat in the hall of Xuanshi and watched the time fly by day after day. He suppressed the panic in his heart and played the role of a young emperor who didn't know anything about the world. These two characters are geniuses in the world.There may even be Dong Zhuo's secret line beside him, every footstep outside the bedroom makes his heart beat faster, because this is an extremely fragile line of defense, even the most inconspicuous court lady, the most casual glance will It is possible to ruin his efforts - once discovered, it will be a disaster for the Han Dynasty.

He is dancing seven discs on the tip of a needle, and the only hope he can point to is just his prediction of history.

Fortunately, this hope has gradually turned into an advantage, and it is gradually blooming its bright brilliance.All the signs are beginning to show that history is still slowly progressing according to the original track. Although it is still hidden at the bottom of the water, the dark tide in it has already stirred up the slight waves on the surface.

"Your Majesty, Lao Zou has sent a secret letter. General Huangfu has contacted the old department. Lord Yang also replied, but at the right time, he will be transferred to General Huangfu to guard the Xi'an Gate of Chang'an. When General Xu leads the troops to come, he will open the Xi'an Gate." Let General Xu enter the city. At that time, the inside and outside should cooperate, and His Majesty will no longer be the one who has half the military power in his hands." Leng Shouguang knelt down in front of Liu Xie, and reported to Liu Xie in a very small voice.

Liu Xie nodded after hearing this, secretly thinking that his previous arrangements had finally paid off.However, regarding these arrangements, he still had no idea: "In Chang'an City, Dong Zhuo has three Zhonglang generals, Hu Zhen, Xu Rong, and Yang Ding. There are no less than [-] Kansai elite soldiers. With the strength in our hands alone, if we want to deal with a big change, I am afraid it will still be a drop in the bucket."

Liu Xie gently caressed the shallow welt on his neck and fell into thought. In response to this situation, his pre-planned strategy was to let Wang Yun and Lu Bu deal with it.After all, after Dong Zhuo was condemned in history, Wang Yun only issued an edict, and all [-] Xiliang cavalry in Chang'an City surrendered.As for this plan, Liu Xie also arranged for Huangfusong to come forward at that time to appease the Liangzhou soldiers with his prestige as the commander-in-chief of the Liangzhou theater.

However, as the time drew closer, Liu Xie suddenly realized that there was a big loophole in his plan.And the source of that loophole was Wang Yun who was the mastermind of this great change.

To this day, Liu Xie still has an indescribable feeling for Wang Yun, a deeply hidden conspirator.After several contacts, Wang Yun seems to be the kind of forbearing person described in "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms", and he can't see his stubborn and jealous side.But the more this was the case, the more frightened Liu Xiecai was. After all, this was the person who, when he created the Han Dynasty's excellent revival hope, also sent the Han Dynasty into the abyss of eternal doom.

According to Liu Xie's original plan, no matter how high Huangfusong's prestige is, the person who will eventually control the military power in Chang'an will still be him, Wang Yun.Although Liu Xie didn't know how Wang Yun would make frequent tricks in the future, the fact that Hu Zhen, Yang Ding, and Xu Rong, the three generals of Xiliang, went to fight against the rebels of Li Jue and Guo Si was Wang Yun's biggest failure. .As a result, Hu Zhen and Yang Ding rebelled against the court as soon as they met Li Jue and Guo Si, the loyal and brave general Xu Rong died in battle, and finally a hundred thousand Xiliang cavalry went straight to Chang'an...

Liu Xie once naively thought that after Dong Zhuo conferred the title, he would use Huangfusong as commander-in-chief to command the three Liangzhou armies of Hu Zhen, Yang Ding, and Xu Rong.But thinking about it now, this plan is actually just a flower in the water and a moon in the mirror.

After Lu Bu killed Dong Zhuo, Wang Yun's canonization of Lu Bu could not be increased.General Fenwei, Fake Festival, Yitong Sansi, and Marquis Wen, these four honorable treatment can be described as prestigious for a while, making Lu Bu the No. 1 in Chang'an.

Wang Yun likes him, a fellow from Bingzhou, so much?

Not at all, on the contrary, Wang Yun has never looked down on this Lu Bu, treating him as a swordsman.The meaning is almost the same as Liu Xie's view of Wang Yue's recklessness, but it's not as good.After all, Liu Xie came from a later generation who had no concept of hierarchy, but Wang Yun, he was a strong and self-admired scholar-bureaucrat.

But Wang Yun still did this, because he knew very well that the new regime needed to rely on the military support of Lu Bu's Bingzhou Legion, so it was necessary to win over Lu Bu with high-ranking officials and generous salaries.

Under such circumstances, if Liu Xie wanted to use Huangfusong as the commander-in-chief and leave Lu Bu aside, would Lu Bu agree?Will his Bingzhou Legion agree?Will they follow Huangfusong's command?

the answer is negative.

Political struggle is like this. No matter how capable a person is, if he does not have the support of his own forces below, it will be difficult to be reused; those who play an important role in the court have their own interest groups, which has been the case since ancient times and today.

Secondly, even if Huangfusong is appointed as the commander-in-chief, will it be possible to appease Dong Zhuo's old troops and contain Lu Bu?
Nor is it possible.

Leaving aside whether Hu Zhen, Yang Ding, and Xu Rong would recognize Huangfusong, even if the three recognized it, it would take time for Huangfusong to appease the Liangzhou army, but Li Jue and other rebels did not give it to them at all. At this time of the imperial court, it is recorded in the "Book of the Later Han Dynasty. Dong Zhuo Zhuan" that after the Liangzhou army outside the city formed an alliance, Li Jue and Guo Si led thousands of troops and marched westward in the morning and night.They came here day and night, how many days can they leave for Chang'an?

It is about 700 kilometers from Shan County to Chang'an, which is equivalent to more than [-] miles in ancient times. If you travel day and night, you will be killed in two or three days. What can Huangfusong do in time?
The only way is that Liu Xie needs to change this chain plan, and let it proceed slowly according to the process of history.At the same time, under Liu Xie's ingenious fiddle, the ending was slightly changed, so that Wang Yun and Lu Bu could not do their best in killing Dong Zhuo.Thus weakening the influence of Wang Yun and Lu Bu in the court in the future.

But basically, it's hard...

In the end, Liu Xie had to think carefully, but the result was that it was not only difficult, but also very difficult.

Regarding Wang Yun's chain plan, Liu Xie also speculated that the chain plan was already in the process of being activated or was just starting to be activated by knowing that there was indeed a figure like Diao Chan in Situ's mansion, and Dong Zhuo was also very concerned about the beautiful woman Diao Chan.Even if it didn't start, Liu Xie also believed that Wang Yun's cleverness would implement it as soon as possible when his brocade box was in Wang Yun's hands.

Because the things in that square brocade box are similar to the imperial edict given to Dong Chengyi by Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty in later history.If Wang Yun didn't start the chain plan after seeing the edict, then he basically wouldn't be Wang Yun.

But although it is very important to activate or not the chain plan, Liu Xie can't go too deep at all, so as not to change the process of the chain plan or to be too sensitive and arouse Dong Zhuo's suspicion.Therefore, at the same time, he can't know precisely which link and to what extent the chain counting has been carried out, so he can't change it.

What's more, during this period of time, he still has some superficial chores to deal with: Dong Zhuo has already started to make arrangements for his big wedding, and knowing that he is going to become the Fushou of the empress of the precarious Han Dynasty, these days it is also very difficult. He tirelessly ran to the Xuanshi Palace, and Deception tirelessly carried out the arduous project of transforming Liu Xie into a man with great ambitions and fighting Dong Thief to the end, which made Liu Xie only hate himself for being incapable of doing so.

Just when Liu Xie was thinking about whether to take the risk of re-entering Ting Wei to ask Xun You for advice, suddenly three long and two short light knocks sounded outside the window.Leng Shouguang's expression tightened, and he quietly ran to the window.After he came back when he was young, his face became extremely ugly: "Your Majesty, we disguised ourselves as businessmen to contact General Zhu's spies, and we were captured..."

"What?!" Liu Xie was equally astonished. These spies were none other than Wang Yue's fellow gangsters.After Liu Xie and Dong Zhuo fell apart, he turned these rangers from light to dark, and used their reckless skills to start a business of spying and sentry, and thus contacted the surrounding forces of the Han Dynasty.This group of spies were arrested this time, and they all had tokens from Liu Xie on their bodies. Once they confessed, all of Liu Xie's plans for more than half a year would be ruined!
But when Liu Xie was at a loss, a small yellow door outside the door suddenly shouted: "The doctor of the Grand Master's Mansion ordered Li Ru to see you!"
