Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    I don¡¯t know since when, the palace, which had become calm under the night, became noisy again.

    The lights inside are bright, and you can constantly see people passing by. However, judging from their clothing, they are not ordinary servants, because most of the people coming and going are wearing helmets and armors. Naturally, there are also various weapons around their waists. It seems that they are not ordinary servants.  There is no difference from the regular army.

    Well, if you look closely, you can find that these people are the forbidden troops in the palace.

    But unlike the Forbidden Army guards who were probably still fighting near the city wall, they were soldiers directly affiliated with Liu Xie.

    Or in other words, these are a group of soldiers with a strong brand of Bingzhou Army.

    Because the general commanding this army is Zhao Yun's younger brother Zhao Nan, and the backbone of this army is also composed of veterans of the Bingzhou Army. Even though this Forbidden Army has not been established for a long time, it is still a group of veterans.  After training, he seemed to behave well.

    Of course, everyone knows very well that this is only on the surface. In fact, this army that has not experienced many tests of iron and blood may not be able to defeat even those bandits who have a bad reputation in the world.  , let alone a more brutal battle.

    "Zhao Nan, Zhao Nan, let's see if I look like a general when I put this on. How does it compare to Li Zhoumu?"

    But this unit still makes Liu Xie feel gratified and happy, especially watching and participating in the process of building this unit from scratch day by day, from being loose and loose at the beginning to now looking like a strong force.  Throughout the whole process, it can be said that for the first time since birth, Liu Xie truly felt that he was protecting the country he nominally led with both hands.  After a lot of effort.

    ¡°In fact, why doesn¡¯t Liu Xie know the shortcomings of the army in front of him?

    Although she has basically grown up in a deep palace since childhood, Liu Xie is not an ignorant and resentful woman in a deep palace.

    Here we must mention the man who had a huge and far-reaching influence on Liu Xie's three views - Dong Zhuo and Dong Zhongying.

    If Liu Xie could not have a clear understanding of the Northern and Southern Army soldiers in Luoyang City when he was very young, then during those years when Liu Xie was "protected" by Dong Zhuo, he really saw what is real.  The world has a strong army.

    Although he did not have the ability to command the armies that directly belonged to Dong Zhuo and would only worship Dong Zhuo alone, but by following Dong Zhuo, Liu Xie could appreciate the momentum of the real tiger and wolf army, and also learned something under Dong Zhuo's care.  Even though the skills of training the army are still not comparable to those of "professionals" like Zhao Nan, they are even more immature and like fledglings in the eyes of veterans.

    But.  When these past experiences are applied to this new army.  The original immaturity is no longer as conspicuous as before. With Zhao Nan's guidance, and even under Cao Cao's overt and covert guidance, Liu Xie's progress is gratifying.

    Coupled with this, he is surrounded by the super powerful aura of imperial power.  It can be said that if this team can go through enough hardships.  Definitely a strong army capable of becoming a big man.  Even if it is only a drop in the bucket for the entire empire, it is still a good start.

    It¡¯s like the slightly frustrated Emperor Wu trained Shanglinqi in his palace. Who could compare to his future achievements?

    Liu Xie¡¯s expectations for this army.  Perhaps even stronger than Liu Yezhu, because although the Han Dynasty during Liu Yezhu's time faced invasion from foreign enemies, no matter how precarious it was internally, it was much more stable than it is now after the Seven Kingdoms Rebellion.

    Of course, perhaps it is for this reason that compared to the original Liu Yezhu, even though he had genius-like abilities, he could only stay in the deep palace, constantly waiting anxiously for unknown things from far away.  As a result, unlike now, he can wear armor like Gaozu and Emperor Guangwu, and set foot on the road to rebirth the shaky empire again.

    "Your Majesty is much more handsome than Mr. Zhou Mu. Only in terms of height, it is probably difficult to compare. After all, Mr. Zhou Mu's height, which is said to be over eight feet, is really beyond the reach of ordinary people."

    Looking at the energetic Liu Xie, Zhao Nan felt quite emotional. At the beginning, he never dreamed that Li Shushi would hand over such a difficult task to him, but also a huge opportunity. Thinking about the person he admired,  The encouraging eyes of clan brother Zhao Yun, and the envious and jealous eyes of Zhao Xin, his childhood playmate and old enemy (friend), made Zhao Nan a little crazy.

    ¡°Then get ready to go, try to catch the enemy by surprise, and let them see the elegance of the Emperor!¡±

    "Yes, Your Majesty, but Wei Chen thinks that before that, it would be better to say hello to Cao Sikong."

     "Indeed, you should send someone to inform Xun Lingjun and Young Master Cao, and ask Young Master Cao if he is interested in fighting side by side with me to jointly kill those Xiaoxiao people who have evil intentions. By the way, this is also true.  It¡¯s his first time on the battlefield.¡±

    Zhao Nan naturally did not need to answer the latter sentence. He wisely took the initiative to retreat and arrange for a messenger to convey Liu Xie's order.

    After that conversation, which seemed very pleasant to both parties, the relationship between Liu Xie and Cao Cao became a little strange.

    Although it cannot be said that Cao Cao's rule has turned into a duopoly at this time, even if Liu Xie, the nominal emperor, is theoretically the emperor of everyone in the world, then Cao Cao, as a Han minister, should be his minister and obey  His order, but in fact, it doesn¡¯t take much thinking to know that this situation is obviously impossible to happen.  However, if we say that Cao Cao is exactly the same as Dong Zhuo and Li Guo before him, it seems that Cao Cao has been unfairly dismissed as the emperor Liu Xie.  After this period of running-in between the two parties, it can be basically concluded that Liu Xie has a high degree of participation in various tasks under Cao Cao's rule, as long as he is willing.  It's just that except for certain things, Liu Xie will not have it, and it seems that he does not plan to have any decision-making power in the short term.

    It looks like a minor monarch, and Cao Cao is the loyal and powerful minister. Now because the monarch is too young or has too little experience, most of the things are done by the powerful ministers.  The main task of the monarch is to study - and to cooperate with the monarch to govern the country well. When the monarch is capable enough, or the powerful minister dies, then he can take over smoothly

    Okay, Zhuge Kongming, I wrongly blamed you. It turns out that you are really great. Of course, Liu Chan, you are indeed worthy of being called a wonder of the generation with super high political IQ by the people who like to overturn the verdict. This skill of forbearance  Definitely no less than the dead ant that was struggling beside Li Shushi.  It's a pity that the gap in ability between the two is still too big, and what Zhuge Liang left for Liu Chan is actually not a good one.  So after a few years of struggling, Liu Chan simply gave up his efforts and directly became a surrender party.

    No matter what.  Liu Xie should not be Liu Chan. At least except for his military potential, he is much stronger than Liu Chan, who can't even make a human shield. Moreover, Cao Cao's expectations for Liu Xie don't seem small. Both sides are in the honeymoon period at this time.

    And compared with the history of another plane.  When Cao Cao in this dimension ushered in Liu Xie.  Not only is the territory smaller.  Moreover, his subordinates were also weaker. Although they did not experience the civil strife in Yanzhou, they encountered Sun Ce who had activated a cheat and Yuan Shu who stood behind Sun Ce.  The ability to barely survive was due to the support of Yuan Shao and Li Shushi, as well as Yuan Shu's goal to turn to the south. He planned to slow down and continue to strengthen his strength before turning his head to gnaw on this hard nut.

    Without the confidence of Cao Cao in the history of another dimension and the extremely solid team that has been integrated through many hardships, the most important thing is the development time of those two years. It can be said that at this time, Cao Cao has the chips to compete with the emperor.  Extremely limited.

    It is precisely because of this background that Liu Xie had the space to learn, and at the same time he had a relatively close relationship with Cao Ang, the second generation of Cao, thus indirectly having a deeper influence on Cao Cao.

    Of course, when such a situation occurs, it is naturally inseparable from a certain evil little butterfly fanning the flames next to it.

    "It's just that a certain little butterfly certainly couldn't predict what kind of impact his stirring up trouble this time would have on this era.

    The palace door slowly opened.

    A soldier with bright armor filed out holding a weapon with flashing cold light. Before they could finish lining up in front of the palace gate, a troop appeared in front of them. This troop looked far inferior to Liu's.  Xie Xie's imperial army is as brightly armored and not as neatly arranged as Liu Xie's imperial army, but this army also has something that Liu Xie's imperial army does not have - that is, Zhao Nan, who is walking in front, can't help but frown.  Wrinkled murderous aura.

    Although it cannot be compared with them, veterans of the Bingzhou Army, it is enough to make the new recruits around them feel uncomfortable.

    What made Zhao Nan even more frowned was that in addition to a group of about 800 veterans, there were also about a hundred civil servants wearing turbans and crane cloaks standing behind them.  Most of the scribes.

    ¡°The Forbidden Army currently has about two thousand troops, while the other side has less than a thousand. In terms of numbers, the Forbidden Army naturally has the upper hand.

    But even people like Liu Xie who have never been on the battlefield know that war is never a simple numbers game.

    ???????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? Let¡¯s not talk about the level of combat effectiveness of the veterans on the other side, but just talking about the troops composed of civilian officials is enough to make Zhao Nan feel extremely troublesome - the civilian military troops have never been able to change the battlefield situation.underestimate.

    Not to mention Li Shushi's corpse energy that made all enemies ache, just talking about the previous battle on the wall of the imperial city can be used as a good example. As long as it is used properly, it does not require any advanced spells, just a few small strategies.  It can reverse the situation on the battlefield.

    Of course, if you want to achieve this level, you need a certain amount of brains. Otherwise, with the "weak" body of a civilian official, the results of reckless actions will not only not be as effective as they should be, but will even be less useful than ordinary soldiers. Then  Only then did he really think that he was burning the harp and boiling the crane.

    But Zhao Nan knew that the civil servants in front of him would not suffer such treatment, because he had already noticed the figure who was protected extremely carefully by the soldiers, the figure that he often saw when he was on duty next to Liu Xie - Yanzhou Biejia  Chen Gong.

    The relationship between Liu Xie and Chen Gong is quite good, and Zhao Nan knows this very well.

    Since Liu Xie came to Puyang, Chen Gong often visited Liu Xie when he had nothing to do.  Not only was he careful when reporting on his work, but he also patiently explained Liu Xie's questions. Even if there was no work to report, he would chat with Liu Xie about major issues or explain various classics to Liu Xie.  They also behaved respectfully and seriously.

    This kind of performance can no longer be said to be incapable of making mistakes. The conscientious attitude is really admirable.

    Not to mention that although Chen Gong was gradually replaced in power by Xun Yu, no one denied his ability. The only thing that put him in this embarrassing situation was that he was too close to the powerful men in Yanzhou.  , and Cao Cao's many policies were to suppress the powerful families in Yanzhou for various reasons. This caused many cracks in the relationship between Chen Gong and Cao Cao due to interest issues, and they gradually faded out of Cao Cao's core decision-making group, but Chen Gong was still all  An opponent that no one can underestimate.

    Now such a person appeared at the gate of the palace, and he was accompanied by murderous troops.  What is he going to do?

    The expression on Zhao Nan's face suddenly became very ugly.  Because he thought of a very terrible fact - why Chen Gong was excluded from the core circle of power by Cao Cao, wasn't it because Chen Gong had now become the spokesperson of the Yanzhou family.

    Nowadays, those powerful men in Yanzhou who are dissatisfied with Cao Cao's rule are setting off a rebellion in Puyang City. Although the person elected to lead the rebellion is Zhang Miao, a famous scholar in the world, Zhao Nan has been in Puyang for some time.  There is no way to underestimate Chen Gong's possible role in this matter.  This is especially true when he appears in front of everyone in this posture.

    "Chen" Unfortunately, it was just when Zhao Nan was about to say something.  A hand that looked a little immature stopped the words that just rushed out of his mouth.

    There doesn¡¯t seem to be anything special about this hand. Although it is well maintained, it looks like it must have come from a wealthy family.  But from the calluses all over the inside of his palms, it can be seen that this kid who was born into a wealthy family also suffered a lot.

    "Chen Gongtai, are you finally going to tell me your decision?"

    Liu Xie stepped out of the crowd, completely ignoring the murderous eyes and unsheathed weapons on the opposite side.  Although they looked quite scary, who was Liu Xie? He had seen what was probably the cruelest hell on earth - a heavily armored tank crushed a row of officials alive, and was surrounded by victims of massacres.  The dark brown pool, the corpses, and the dead heads were left behind. He had even seen what was probably the most powerful army of the Han Dynasty at that time - just standing in front of that army,  The tall but cruel man next to him just allowed the troops to release their momentum as they did on the battlefield. If the man hadn't expected and supported Liu Xie's young body in time, Liu Xie would have been killed.  Xie didn't know if he would be scared to death, but at least it was certain that he would make a fool of himself in front of that group of arrogant soldiers and even turn into a lingering nightmare.

    In comparison, just such a scene, if you want to scare him, the most noble man in theory, just dream!

    "Your Majesty is really brave, and Chen Gong admires it. His Majesty told Chen Gong before that he hoped Chen Gong could assist you, but you should also know very well that Chen Gong already had a rift with Meng Degong, and now that the rebellion has started again, even if Meng Degong  No matter how big your belly is, how can you accommodate an unstable person like Chen Gong. Besides, Chen Gong was indeed involved in the Yanzhou Rebellion, so I ask your Majesty to take back his orders."

    "Then what if I personally forgive your sins?"

    "There are thousands of talented people in the world, so why should Your Majesty focus on just one person, Chen Gong. Although Chen Gong and Meng Degong parted ways due to conflict of interests, they also know that Meng Degong must be one of the people who can stabilize the world. Then please think twice, Your Majesty.  , don¡¯t lose a person just for the sake of Chen Gong.An important minister who can help your Majesty re-establish the Han Dynasty.  "

    "But I also know that if there is no such thing as Chen Gongtai in this world, Cao Mengde will be too lonely. Moreover, Cao Mengde is also a human being, and it is inevitable that he will make mistakes. In order to prevent him from making fewer mistakes in the future, and in order to allow him to fulfill his agreement with me,  In order for me and him to always be a pair of respectful monarchs and ministersChen Gongtai! I also need you, and I need you to be my right-hand man!"

    "It really feels like a willful request, but anyway, it can't be worse than the current situation. Since it is destined to be unable to continue to be Meng Degong's subordinate, then you can become His Majesty's minister. I hope that Your Majesty will not regret it in the future.  The decision made today. Of course, Chen Gong will never give His Majesty the opportunity to regret it because of Chen Gong¡¯s lack of ability."

    When Chen Gong made this decision, the outcome of the rebellion could be said to be completely out of suspense.

    The rebels who attacked the imperial city did not expect that Chen Gong would suddenly counterattack.  Naturally, they were caught off guard and suffered heavy losses. Then they were blocked by Cao Ang who came with his troops. Under the attack of the two parties, and Liu Xie revealed his identity as the emperor, the identity of the rebels was confirmed, and the original rebels were immediately defeated.  The rebels who were not completely united completely fell apart and turned into a group of remnants and defeated bandits.

    Although in fact, even without the variable Chen Gong, this deliberately triggered rebellion would still have no chance of success, but the losses caused would inevitably be greater, and more importantly, the brothers Zhang Miao and Zhang Chao.  As well as the rebellion caused by the alliance of other powerful children of the Yanzhou family.  It is bound to give a very bad signal to the outside world and seriously damage Cao Cao's reputation.

    If nothing else, it will definitely cause changes in newly annexed lands like Yuzhou and lands that have not yet been fully annexed like Xuzhou.

    Although Chen Gong¡¯s rebellion could not completely reverse the situation, Chen Gong¡¯s ¡°experience¡± came out.  Coupled with Liu Xie's public support for Cao Cao as the emperor.  But it is also possible to minimize losses.

    so.  Faced with Liu Xie's request, although Xun Yu hesitated, he finally removed Chen Gong from the blacklist.

    And when Xun Yu came back to his senses.  Liu Xie had already taken Cao Ang, and under the protection of Zhao Nan, he led his troops to attack the scattered rebel deserters, and was about to disappear under the slightly bright sky.

    The rebellion that was supposed to have a major impact on Cao Cao's army seemed to have come to an end just like your farce.

    As the recommended leaders of various rebel armies, brothers Zhang Miao and Zhang Chao both chose to die on the battlefield as the final destination of their lives. Obviously, these two famous men in the world would never be willing to appear in front of Cao Cao as prisoners, let alone  I hope that as a celebrity, I have to come to Tingwei to accept the difficulties of some petty officials who want to be promoted and become famous.

    And when Zhang Miao was shot through the heart by Zhao Nan and completely lifeless, Zhao Chong, who had been desperately trying to reunite with him, seemed to have suddenly lost his soul and gave up resistance, allowing several weapons to be applied to his body at the same time.  superior.  This general who was promoted by Zhang Miao after he became the prefect of Chenliu can be said to be like Wang Bi to Cao Cao. Even though Zhang Miao has lost power, he still remains loyal and loyal. Now that he has lost someone to whom he can be loyal, his own  The soul also left the world with his lord.

    Of course, although there are many loyal people in this world, there are more people who are timid and cherish their lives.

    It¡¯s just that if what these people did was not a serious crime that caused loss of head and even the family, maybe they would have thrown away the weapons in their hands at this moment and were ready to surrender as soon as possible to win leniency, instead of resisting while still looking for opportunities to escape.  .

    There will always be lucky ones, such as the former Yanzhou officer Wang Kai, and the generals Xu Xi and Mao Hui who fled in the same direction as Wang Kai.

    As a local leader in Yanzhou, even if Cao Cao moved the seat of Yanzhou from Changyi in the south to Puyang, which he had more control over, Wang Kai still had a way to insert his confidants into the city defense army. After all, as an outsider, Cao Cao  It is also impossible to completely cut off ties with local forces. Although city defense is an important place, the requirements for the purity of the team are very limited.

    ??At least before the rebellion was launched by the powerful Yanzhou people, the problems of this system were not really taken seriously.

    Because of this, although he was very embarrassed, Wang Kai still relied on these connections to escape from Ximen with Xu Xi and Mao Hui.

    They were planning to go south to Liu Biao. As long as they could enter Chenliu's territory, they no longer had to worry about Cao Cao's pursuit. Many people in Chenliu's families were originally dissatisfied with Cao Cao, and Yuzhou in the south was newly attached.  The land is in a power vacuum. As long as you don't commit suicide casually, it's not difficult to hide.

    ?But there will only be a few lucky ones after all. For most people who participated in the rebellion, they will not use their heads as burial objects in the new era. Even if they are lucky enough to throw down their weapons and choose to surrender, what awaits them will be harsh.  sanctions.

    After all, what was originally just an ordinary rebellion turned into a war against the imperial power because of Liu Xie's participation. Naturally, the losers in this war would never be forgiven by the winners.

    Besides, even those ministers who have always been at both ends of the spectrum will inevitably become sacrifices for the new king's ascension to the throne. How can these guys who have classified themselves as hostile forces be forgiven?

    I always feel that Cao Cao, who is suffering from financial problems, can breathe a long sigh of relief again.

    Killing local tyrants and dividing their land is indeed a shortcut to making a fortune.

    This was perhaps the biggest feeling that Cao Cao, who was far away in Qiao County, had after receiving the news from Puyang.  (To be continued, please search Piaotian Literature. The novels will be better and updated faster!
