Chapter 503: Temptation?


As early as the end of the second year of Chuping, the alliance between the heroes of Guandong and their crusade against Dong Zhuo collapsed.

Dong Zhuo had moved his capital to Chang'an, and he was arrogant and tyrannical.

In view of this situation, the scholars in Chang'an sent an envoy to Guandong to contact King Yibingqin.

And the name of that messenger was Liu He.

Liu He was a minister at the time and was a close official of the emperor.

At the suggestion of the scholars in Chang'an, Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty Liu Xie asked Liu He to pretend to abandon his official position and flee in order to avoid Dong Zhuo's eyes and ears.

He went out to contact the royal clan, Liu Yu, the then Grand Sima and Youzhou Mu, and asked him to lead the troops forward.

Come to the rescue.

The reason why I thought of contacting Liu Yu was not only because Liu Yu was a clan member of the Han Dynasty, but also because he was the only one among the heroes in Guandong who sent envoys to pay homage to the emperor since the heroes started to attack Dong Zhuo.

In the second year of Chuping, Yuan Shao and Han Fu wanted to make Liu Yu emperor, but Liu Yu sternly refused.

To show his loyalty, Liu Yu sent a man named Tian Chou to go around the south of the desert and come to Chang'an to worship.

Emperor Xian and the court officials were extremely moved.

And this Liu He is Liu Yu's son.

Liu He received the emperor's secret order, disguised himself, and set off for Guandong at Xingye.

The shortest road from Chang'an to Guandong is to go straight east through Huayin, Tongguan, and Shaanxi counties to Luoyang, but this road is heavily guarded by Dong Zhuo's troops.

If Liu He fled, he would definitely be wanted by Dong Zhuo.

Taking this path was extremely risky.

Therefore, he chose a circuitous route, starting from Chang'an and heading southeast across the Qinling Mountains, leaving Wuguan to Nanyang; then turning north and passing through Hebei to Youzhou.

Liu He's escape was successful.

After going through many hardships and climbing over the mountains, he finally escaped from Dong Zhuo's sphere of influence and came to Nanyang under the rule of Yuan Shu.

The scholars in the Chang'an court have always regarded the Guandong scholars as their relatives, and Yuan Shu was one of the heroes who once launched an army to attack Dong Zhuo.

Liu He originally thought that coming to Yuan Shu's territory would be as safe as coming to the home of a relative; but he was wrong.

The situation The complexity and dangers far exceeded his expectations.

The heroes of Guandong no longer had the enthusiasm to raise troops to attack King Dong Zhuo Shiqin.

They were now keen on expanding their own power and realizing their personal ambitions.

Yuan Shu even deliberately wanted to be the emperor.

If Liu He went to Youzhou to contact Liu Yu, he would defeat him.

If Dong Zhuo is defeated and the emperor is welcomed back, Yuan Shu's dream of being emperor will come to nothing.

So after learning about Liu He's arrival, Yuan Shu detained him.

Not only that, Yuan Shu also had his own calculation: he knew that Youzhou was rich in famous cavalry.

For the warlords in the Central Plains, the cavalry was a rare and advanced armed force.

The cavalry could help them defeat the warlords.

Win the melee.

So he deceived Liu He and said, I have already had the wish of King Qin, so why not ask your father to send troops to Nanyang and join forces with me to march together.

Liu He was really a silly and naive good boy, and he easily believed Yuan Shu's lies.

He wrote to Liu Yu, and Liu Yu really sent thousands of cavalry to Nanyang.

In order to please Yuan Shu, Gongsun Zan also sent his younger brother Gongsun Yue with more than a thousand cavalry to help.

Ordinarily, the troops sent by Liu Yu should be led by Liu He, but Yuan Shu then colluded with Gongsun Yue to imprison Liu He and seize his army.

Subsequently, Yuan Shu threw the cavalry aided by Liu Yu into the warlord melee, completely breaking the promise he had made to Liu He.

Only then did Liu and the child realize that they had been deceived and were very angry.

But he was deeply trusted by the emperor and the court, so how could he give up halfway?

So he saw the right opportunity, escaped from Yuan Shu, and prepared to go to Youzhou via Hebei.

Perhaps Liu He's mission was destined to suffer hardships.

When he passed through Hebei, he was discovered by Yuan Shao, who also detained him.

Although Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu were beaten to a bloody head, their attitudes towards the Chang'an court were surprisingly consistent.

If Liu He is allowed to contact King Liu Yuqin successfully, how will his ambition to dominate the world be realized?

The heroes of Guandong had quite a tacit understanding on how to deal with the Chang'an court under Dong Zhuo's control.

For them, it was legal for them to allow the imperial court to continue to be controlled by Dong Zhuo and other Liangzhou warriors, and to expand their personal power without obeying the imperial court's orders.

Because the court controlled by Dong Zhuo itself was illegal, they could use illegality to deal with illegality.

Therefore, Yuan Shao also wanted to use Liu He, but instead of cavalry, he wanted Liu He as a hostage to blackmail Liu Yu and ask Liu Yu to help him deal with Gongsun Zan.

At that time, Gongsun Zan's power was at its peak and he was Yuan Shao's biggest threat.

Liu He was detained until his father Liu Yu was killed by Gongsun Zan.

At this time, Yuan Shao gave Liu He a certain degree of freedom.

He asked Liu He to contact Liu Yu's old troops to jointly attack Gongsun Zan in the name of Liu Yu's revenge.

Liu He was tied to Yuan Shao's chariot and couldn't help but fall into the warlords' melee.

The tragedies of Liu He and Liu Yu witnessed the arduous journey of traditional scholars who were loyal to the court in the late Eastern Han Dynasty to save the country.

It also showed that this road was impassable.

Unfortunately, due to the limitations of the times, the scholars in Chang'an could not Fully aware of what happened to Liu He.

However, smart people like Liu Xiu and Wang Yun, who had great hands and eyes, naturally knew bits and pieces of Liu He's current situation.

And from this, how could they not see something fishy in it?

So, when Liu Xiu mentioned the name Liu He, Wang Yun immediately fell into silence.

"Master Situ, maybe the heroes of Guandong will raise their troops to serve the king, but I can't place all my hopes on this illusion.

If Master Situ only has these small plans, then today's matter will be here.

Xiu'er Just arrived today, Shu Bu can't send it far away."

After listening to Liu Xiu's story about Liu He, Lu Bu couldn't help but underestimate Wang Yun.

After Wang Yun sighed, he laughed again, picked up the wine bottle in front of him, drank it in one gulp, and then said: "Perhaps, relying on wolves to save sheep is just my childish whim.

Even though I don’t want to admit it, but things In fact, it seems that as the princess said, those heroic scholars who are deeply taught by loyalty, filial piety, benevolence and righteousness have probably degenerated into selfish warlords, and the Chang'an court has been completely abandoned by them.

Now, let us formally discuss the fight against the thieves Let’s make a big plan.”

Seeing this, Lu Bu and Liu Xiu couldn't help being shocked by Wang Yun's ambition and courage.

Liu Xiu, in particular, couldn't help but take a sip of wine to calm down her understanding of Wang Yun: She seemed to underestimate this old man too much.

Could it be that what he said earlier was test Yes, Wang Yun, an old guy, also knows that the heroes of Guandong may be unreliable.

But here he proposed this strategy, the purpose is actually to see.

Will the husband obey his words?

This old guy, facing a formidable enemy, is still obsessed with scheming against his own people.

No wonder Ma Chao troubles him again and again.

Thinking of this, Liu Xiu couldn't help but take another sip of wine, and squeezed Lu Bu's hand slightly harder: That Ma Chao, why didn't this old guy get angry to death?

Lu Bu felt Liu Xiu's anger and seemed to understand something from Liu Xiu's eyes.

The look in Wang Yun's eyes couldn't help but feel a little colder.

However, he immediately restrained himself to cover up, and secretly patted Liu Xiu's hand to reassure Liu Xiu.

But Liu Xiu is a woman after all.

At this moment, she suddenly thought of the letter Ma Chao gave her, and she almost had the urge to open it and take a look at it immediately: Is that Ma Chao trying to make herself wary of Wang Yun?

No, it's impossible.

He said that the letter must be opened at the most critical moment.

The war has not started yet, so it is not the right time.

As for Wang Yun, regardless of what the two of them were thinking, Shi Shiran took out something from his arms and spread it out in the hall, preparing to start his speech on his real plan. s: Thanks to Feiyang, simply reading, Pan Ye’s reward, and there will be another update in the evening.

Since the reward starts at 12 o'clock, I will also start updating at 12 o'clock:
