Three Kingdoms: Jiehu becomes stronger from the beginning of Taoyuan's three knots

Chapter 42

Liu Ce quickly walked to the study and personally asked the little eunuch sent by Bi Lan about the reason for this matter.

After communicating with the little eunuch, he realized that although their side was sunny and sunny, the storms in other states and counties of Dahan never stopped.

From the beginning of the fifth year of Zhongping, that is, in 188, the whole country of Dahan was once again caught in the storm of the Yellow Turban disaster.

Starting from February, Taiyuan County, Hedong County and other places were successively captured by the Yellow Turban Army.

Runan County was lost again in April, and now Qingzhou, Yanzhou, Xuzhou, Jingzhou, Liangzhou, and Yizhou are all in a mess.

In March, Liu Yan, Taichang, wrote to Emperor Ling that the world was still full of soldiers and bandits, suggesting that he should be changed from the governor to the governor of the state in order to strengthen his position.

The governor of the state was originally a supervisor and had no administrative or military power, while the state pastor had military and political power in the state.

In order to suppress the peasant uprisings one after another, Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty followed Liu Yan's suggestion in a flash, changed the governor to be the governor of the state, and appointed Lieqing and Shangshu as the governor of the state.

From then on, the prelude to the separatism of the Eastern Han Dynasty was completely kicked off.

It is precisely because of this that Liu Ce's growth in Jizhou immediately attracted the attention of some people.

Therefore, under their operation, Liu Ce was urgently transferred to Luoyang to prepare to participate in the formation of the Xiyuan Army.

In the study of the prefect of Yecheng, Liu Ce, Xi Zhicai, Tian Feng, Guan Yu, and Zhang Fei are all discussing affairs here, and the others are temporarily waiting in the lobby.

"Listen to what elder brother said just now, is this a trick Yuan Shao set for you?"

Guan Yu looked at the letter in his hand with displeasure and said.

Liu Ce nodded slowly, then turned to look at Xi Zhicai and asked.

"Yes, if I'm not wrong, they want to divert the tiger away from the mountain! It's really a bit of a motive to draw fire from under the cauldron... By the way, does Mr. Xi know Yuan Shao well?"

In fact, Liu Ce's treatment of Yuan Shao only stayed on the surface of the history books, and he actually knew very little about the biggest warlord in the late Eastern Han Dynasty.

Xi Zhicai saw that Liu Ce had asked, so he spoke slowly.

"Yuan Shao represents the Yuan family of four generations and three princes, and the Yuan family has always regarded itself as the leader of the clan. Now that the world has changed, the appearance of the lord may have touched the interests of the Yuan family."

Tian Feng nodded in agreement when he heard this.

"The Yuan family's influence in Henan is not insignificant, but their influence on Hebei is still limited. Lord Liu Yu and your lord have won the hearts of the people in Hebei for a few years, but the imperial court transferred you back to Luoyang at this time. Plotting the land of Hebei..."

Tian Feng's words hit the nail on the head, and a cold light flashed in Liu Ce's eyes immediately when he heard the words.

Yuan Shao is finally ready to come to Hebei!
After hearing Tian Feng's analysis, everyone was filled with righteous indignation.

At this time, Que Chao walked in quickly from the outside.

"My lord, a letter from Master Liu Yu."

Hearing this, Liu Ce immediately took the wooden box over, opened it, took out the cloth book and read it.

"My eldest brother was named Youzhou Mu by the emperor, and was also given a holiday ax."

Hearing this, everyone had different expressions and reactions.

After all, there is no precedent for both brothers to be given holiday yue!

In terms of favor, brothers Liu Yu and Liu Ce are unique in the world!
But Liu Ce is not stupid, he understands that all this is controlled by experts.

The more the emperor showed his favor to them, the more Liu Ce could not resist the order.

Although Liu Yu is popular among the people in Hebei, he is Liu Ce who has the real power.

Yuan Shao's gang saw it clearly!
"Isn't it just going to Luoyang? What's so scary! Just go, but after I leave, the two cities of Ye and Wei will have to worry about you."

Xi Zhicai, Tian Feng and others were taken aback when they heard the words.

They listened to what Liu Ce meant, as if they were not going to take anyone there!

"My lord, you must not leave lightly!"

"If you insist on going, you need to bring more people."

Xi Zhicai and Tian Feng quickly dissuaded them, while Guan Yu and Zhang Fei expressed their views directly.

"No matter where elder brother goes, Guan will definitely follow him to the death."

"Brother, me too!"

Seeing this, Liu Ce couldn't help laughing.

"Look at all of you nervous, it's just a trip to Luoyang, it's not a dragon's pool or a tiger's den!"

After hearing this, Guan Yu immediately clasped his fists and said.

"Since it's not a dragon's den or a tiger's den, why don't I accompany my eldest brother for a walk?"

Zhang Fei also laughed when he saw it.

"Yeah, what does it matter if the eldest brother also takes us to Luoyang?"

Xi Zhicai also spoke slowly at this time.

"My lord insists on going, and it would be good to bring more helpers! Shangshu Lang Zhongyou has a close relationship with my family. If the lord is in Luoyang, I can ask him for help."

Liu Ce saw that he was also kind, so he nodded in agreement.

Because Xi Zhicai and Tian Feng were recommended by Liu Ce for official positions, they could not go to Luoyang with him.

Therefore, there were only five people who finally decided to go to Luoyang with Liu Ce, namely Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, Dian Wei, Tai Shi Ci and Chen Dao.

We can't take the [-]-strong army, but we can still take the [-] soldiers.

Three days later, the imperial edict came slowly.

The imperial decree stated that the emperor planned to form a new army in Xiyuan, and the new army would consist of eight school lieutenants.

Because of his outstanding achievements in eradicating the Yellow Turban bandits in Jizhou, he was transferred to Xiyuan to temporarily serve as the Zuo Xiaowei.

After the imperial decree was read, Liu Ce accepted the decree calmly, and then lavishly entertained the eunuchs and others who declared the decree.

Two days later, Liu Ce led [-] troops and followed Xuanzhi eunuch and others to Luoyang.

Luoyang, the residence of the Yuan family.

Yuan Shao, Cao Cao, and Yuan Shu were drinking tea and chatting in the side hall.

"I'm afraid it's time for Liu Ziqing to arrive in these two days?"

Yuan Shao held a teacup, looked at Cao Cao with a proud face and asked.

"A fast horse has already reported, and Liu Ce will arrive in Luoyang by tomorrow at the latest."

Yuan Shao laughed after hearing this, and then took a sip of the soup and tea in the cup very satisfied.

"It's really close! I didn't expect that Hebei could come out with such a number one character!"

Yuan Shu frowned slightly when he heard this, and hurriedly reminded him.

"However, I heard that several big clans in Hebei have already taken refuge in the past! We seem to be one step too late after all, right?"

After hearing this, Cao Cao smiled cunningly, then looked at Yuan Shao and said seriously.

"No way! The Hebei clan is after Liu Yu's fame, not Liu Ce. But at this time Liu Yu is tied up in the Youzhou area, but Wuhuan and Xianbei in the north are enough for him to be busy. How can he be free? Take care of Jizhou's affairs!"

"Now that we have cut off his minions in Jizhou, those scholar-bureaucrats in Hebei are nothing more than a bunch of headless flies! Nothing to worry about, nothing to worry about!"

Cao Cao's words made Yuan Shao very happy, which was exactly the same as his own analysis of the situation.

"Our Yuan family is bound to win Hebei. Yanzhou will be handed over to Meng De. The road should be more prepared for the Huainan matter. This is our last retreat, and nothing can go wrong."

Cao Cao and Yuan Shu clasped their fists immediately when they heard the words.

At this time, Gao Gan, Yuan Shao's nephew, strode in from the outside.

"Uncle, Liu Ce and others have already entered Luoyang City!"

Yuan Shao, Cao Cao, and Yuan Shu were all shocked when they heard this, and then they all showed proud smiles on their faces.

"Since everyone is here, let's start preparing for Meng De! He wants to be the captain of the left, and he has to ask us if we agree!"

Cao Cao immediately got up and clasped his fists and said.

"Yes, I'll go back and make arrangements now."
