Chapter 399 Ten Years (Nine)

The Luoyang alliance has really become a farce.

The princes from all walks of life were frightened by the powerful combat power of Wunan Army, and hurriedly reached a covenant and prepared to join forces to attack Hangu Pass. No wonder, a man they had never heard of, captured Hanzhong County within ten days.

This made everyone have to overturn their earlier estimates of Guanzhong.

The four elite troops of the Han'an Army that are familiar to everyone are all familiar with.

As for the trolls, Yuanrong and Beiwei Army, although the combat power is extremely strong, the number of people is not too large due to the equipment, which is destined to be impossible for these three troops to engage in large-scale battles like the other four.

Although I was very worried about these three teams, it was not enough to make the princes panic.

As for other people, their combat power may be very strong, but compared with the five main forces, the gap seems to be very large.

However, a Wunan Army suddenly appeared, and it showed its combat power that was no less than the five main forces, and even stronger. The appearance of such a team forced the princes to wonder how much combat power is hidden in Guanzhong? Will there be an existence like Wunan Army? If so, it would be really terrifying.

In this way, Dong Qi's existence became a thorn in everyone's heart.

Although Liu Biao left, there was a 400,000 army, and the front line in Guanzhong was too long, it might not be impossible to break out a gap.

After all, the princes of Kanto had great righteousness, and from this point of view, they had an advantage.

But in just one day, this advantage disappeared. It would be fine if Liu Bian had just ascended the throne. After all, the princes of Guandong welcomed the emperor of Xuchang. Even if you ascend the throne, we can still not recognize your existence.

But, the strange phenomenon of Baqiao spreads all over the world in one day.

Liu Bian received the imperial seal during the ceremony of worshiping heaven, which seemed to prove the legitimacy of his throne from another perspective.

People couldn't help but think: the Han Emperor in Xuchang seemed to have obtained the throne from Liu Bian.

Liu Bian was the eldest son of the late emperor, and was born in the legitimate reign. He had ascended the throne and now he has obtained the long-lost jade seal. No matter from that aspect, Liu Bian is orthodox, and he should be the true emperor of the Han Dynasty.

Of course, Cao Cao and others knew it in their hearts.

The so-called Baqiao vision was nothing more than a trick created by Dong Qi. Including the imperial seal, it has always been in the hands of Dong Qi.

Dong Zhuo used this imperial seal once, but later Dong Zhuo was killed, but the seal disappeared. At that time, whether it was Li Jue, Guo Si, Cao Cao and others, why did he try every means to kill Dong Qi? To put it bluntly, it was because everyone knew that since Dong Zhuo did not have a jade seal, it must be in the hands of Dong Qi.

Whether it is a god-given or Dong Qi returned it to Liu Bian...

It is no longer important. What is important is that the people respect the ghosts and gods of heaven and earth. The so-called orders from heaven, Liu Bian's throne was recognized by God and given the imperial seal, which shows that he is the only one in the world and the real emperor.

As for the others...

The alliance ended in a hurry, and the princes from all walks of life were ulterior motives and were thinking about how to face the next situation.

"I'll go back to Jizhou!"

Yuan Shang stood up and said, "Obviously there is no need to stay here anymore. I will return to Jizhou to report my father about what happened here."

"Xianfu, don't worry first, let's discuss it again!"

Obviously, neither Cao Cao nor others want Yuan Shang to leave Luoyang at this time. In that case, more people will undoubtedly make fun of the decisions they made before. Really, they will definitely be laughed at to death.

But Yuan Shang seemed to be homecoming.

He sneered: "Discuss? What to discuss... No matter how much you discuss, the imperial seal is still in Dong Xiping's hands. In two days, Dong Xiping will come with an edict, and isn't he going his separate ways? Prime Minister, Shang did not mean disrespect. But since Liu Jingsheng has left, why do you still keep us and be that damn alliance?"

"this……"

Cao Cao thought to himself, but in those half-closed eyes, a cold light flashed, revealing a cold murderous intent.

"Xianfu, I want to ask you. Before Liu Jingsheng left, it is said that you had visited him. Liu Jingsheng withdrew from Luoyang that night... I don't know how you should explain this? Could it be that your Yuan family knew the result of this from the beginning? So now we are rushing to leave here?"

"You're talking nonsense!"

“Bold…”

Xu Chu and Cao Peng, who served as Cao Cao's guards, had long been disgusted with Yuan Shang's appearance. When they heard that he was rude, they stood up.

Behind Yuan Shang, there was also a Wen Chou King's Gate blocking Yuan Shang. Both sides drew their swords. For a moment, the hall was filled with swords and the atmosphere seemed particularly tense.

"Zhongkang, what are you doing? Put away your weapons!"

Liu Bei stood up and dissuaded Wen Chou and Wang Sect with Gongsun Kang. No matter what, Liu Bei had defected to Yuan Shang, so Yuan Shang gave him a bit of face. He stopped Wen Chou Wang Sect and said in a deep voice: "Mr. Ju has told me what the Prime Minister said. That person is named Zhou Xian, and he is my family of Zhou Ang. But when I investigated this matter, Zhou Xian was gone... As for where he went, I still want to ask the Prime Minister for someone."

Cao Cao frowned and pondered without saying a word.

Liu Bei said, "Prime Minister, the third son, this matter must be a misunderstanding, but don't hurt your family's kindness."

"Anyway, no matter what, I will leave. It is your business that you are willing to stay here and make people laugh at me. My Yuan family cannot afford to lose this face. If the Prime Minister has no other instructions, please forgive me for saying goodbye first."

Compared to before, Yuan Shang's words were much more polite and no longer spoke rudely.

He strode out of the hall. Wen Chou and Xu You walked at the end, and when they passed by Liu Bei by the wrong way, the three of them nodded slightly.

Xu Chu said angrily: "Prime Minister, just let that child go? In my opinion, he must be the one who is making trouble!"

Cao Cao shook his head and said, "Yuan Shao and Dong Qi have a grudge for killing their son, so they will never join forces with Dong Xiping easily. This matter... Dong Xiping dared to make detailed arrangements in Xuchang, so why can't he arrange it under Yuan Shao's command? It has nothing to do with Yuan Shang at this time."

After saying that, his eyes swept across the people in the living room.

"My Lords, who else wants to leave? You can leave now, and you will never stop me."

Liu Mao hesitated for a moment and stood up, "Prime Minister, it's not that Mao wants to leave behind the alliance. In fact, Han'an army is at Jiameng Pass. Mao is worried about his brother's situation... Moreover, the Prime Minister no longer uses troops. Mao left here, but it is useless."

It's reasonable, but at this time...

Although Cao Cao didn't say anything, he was very unhappy.

On the surface, he still had to show a gentle attitude and said in a deep voice: "Since that's the case, please say hello to Liu Yizhou on my behalf."

"Sure, certain!"

Liu Mao left after saying that.

The seven princes left one before the alliance, and now two more left one, and the hall suddenly seemed deserted.

Gongsun Kang said: "Before my father ordered Kang to leave, he had a word before he could do it and obey the Prime Minister's instructions in everything!"

"Ah... I only know the saint of Xuchang but not the saint of Chang'an. The Prime Minister can rest assured that he will not betray the alliance."

Zhou Yu hesitated for a moment, "But I don't know what the Prime Minister plans?"

What he said was very clever, that is, he did not say that he would betray the alliance, nor did he say that he would not betray the alliance. Obviously, he was looking at the situation before making a decision.

Cao Cao knew that in fact, those who stayed were unlikely to reconcile with Dong Chi.

Although Gongsun Du used to serve under Dong Zhuo, he had previously set up Dong Qi outside the border and almost killed Dong Qi. In this regard, unless Dong Qi had a broad mind, it would be difficult to forgive Gongsun Du for his rebellion.

And Liu Bei has no turning point with Dong Qi, so there is no need to explain in detail.

Sun Jian died at the hands of Dong Qi and had an indelible hatred with the Sun family, so he stayed to see the development of the situation.

Not bad!

Cao Cao thought to himself: At least half of them seem to be very acceptable to Dong Qi. Then there is room for reversal.

To be honest, if Liu Bei and Sun Ce also withdrew from the alliance, Cao Cao had already made plans.

Once such a situation happened, he immediately returned to Xuchang, tied up Emperor Han Liu Xie, and went directly to Chang'an to ask for surrender.

After all, although he and Dong Qi have hatred, they will eventually have a relationship.

If he surrendered, Dong Qi would probably not make things difficult for him. As long as he handed over the military power, it would be no problem to be a rich man.

Cao Cao took a deep breath and said in a deep voice: "Since all the dukes still trust Cao, let's discuss the subsequent actions. Now that the pseudo-emperor has appeared, the thieves in Guanzhong are very powerful, so our four families should take care of each other and act in unison."

"What the Prime Minister said is extremely true!"

*******

Yuan Shang led his troops out of Luoyang and entered the Hanoi territory on the third day.

This is already the territory of his Yuan family. Yuan Shang, who has been worried for two days, finally breathed a sigh of relief.

He was really afraid that Cao Cao would intercept him on the way. Although he was strong in his army, he was in Cao Cao's territory and did not take up all the battle. Now, when he arrived in his territory, the arrogance that had accumulated for many days had occurred again.

"Everyone says that Cao Mengde is so powerful, but in my opinion, it's just like that."

Ju Su looked at the arrogant Yuan Shang, smiled bitterly in his heart, and then said softly: "Three Master, you shouldn't leave at this time. In today's form, we will benefit when we share, and we will harm when we divide. If the princes join forces to submit a memorial to Chang'an, Chang'an will probably have some concerns. But now, if you have turned a frown with Cao Cao, it is definitely not a good thing for the lord..."

"Okay, OK, Mr. Ju, you don't know how many times you have said these words along the way. Things have been done, what else do you want? Besides, with my Jizhou, I have a lot of money and food, and my troops are strong, Dong Xiping may not be able to do anything to me."

"But……"

Yuan Shang frowned and said, "Mr. Ju, are you working for my Yuan family or Cao Cao? Why are you listening to you saying good things about him along the way? If you think I'm not doing well, you can go and complain to my father, don't make a fuss."

In one sentence, Ju Su's face turned red.

His mouth opened again and again, and finally he smiled bitterly and retreated silently.

Next to him, Xu You and Wen Chou looked at each other, and after a smile, Xu You rode his horse and came to Ju Su's side.

That night, the army camped along the Qinshui River, but the 150,000 troops were vast and spectacular.

Ju Su was so uncomfortable when he was choked by Yuan Shang's words during the day that he felt extremely uncomfortable. He sat alone in the tent, drinking glasses of wine.

This is really impossible to live!

The general's meaning is that Jizhou will be handed over to Yuan Shang in the future. Not to mention the difference between elders and young, Yuan Shang is not the one who accomplished great things at all. When he asked him to assist Yuan Shang, he was not very willing. Now he is so frustrated.

After lifting the curtain, Xu You walked in from outside.
