The news of Liu Mang's dispatch of troops soon spread to Chengdu!
Zhuge Liang, who had not been in court for a long time, had appeared in the main hall this time.
When Xu Jing, Li Yan and others saw Kong Ming again, they felt that this person was more profound than before, making it difficult to see reality clearly.
Wolong, has risen and soared.
"Your Majesty, our army is now well-equipped and well-supplied. I hope you will act according to Longzhong's policy!"
"The prince himself attacks Jingxiang and Wanluo! Your Majesty's troops leave Qinchuan and march straight to Chang'an!"
"Liang, although you are not talented, you are willing to accompany the army to conquer the enemy's country in the north!"
Zhuge Liang held a white feather fan and bowed in salute with a firm attitude.
Liu Bei took a deep breath. He didn't expect this day to come so quickly.
"My son is really powerful. It only takes one year to widen the gap in national power!"
"Generals, listen to your orders. I have decided to send troops out of Qinchuan to fight against the thieves!"
"Cao Cao died, and there are still traitorous chiefs like Cao Pi!"
Liu Bei decided to go out in person, leaving Jiang Wan to guard Chengdu while Zhuge Liang went with the army.
The Hanzhong Army Corps was led by Huang Zhong and Fazheng.
The Liangzhou Army was led by Ma Chao and Lu Xun.
Liu Bei was high-spirited, holding two swords in his hands, and the Taoyuan Oath was finally fulfilled.
"Second brother, third brother, see you in Chang'an!"
Seeing Liu Bei's determination, Xu Jing, who wanted to dissuade Liu Bei, didn't know how to speak.
Compared with Zhuge Liang, they are still too young and can't even see Liu Mang's skill.
Li Yan now regrets that Liu Bei did not name him at all during this expedition.
"Military advisor, how long will it take before we can send troops together with Mang'er?"
"Back to your Majesty, three months is enough!"
Zhuge Liang chuckled and said: "The Ordnance Bureau uses wooden oxen and flowing horses to transport food, and Liang has taken the lead to ensure the supply of the army!"
"With Jiang Wan, Fei Yi, and Dong Yun cooperating with each other, we can ensure that the imperial court operates as before."
Xu Jing and Li Yan felt pain in their hearts again. Zhuge Liang even hired new people, but he didn't intend to use them?
"Everything is according to Mr.'s words."
Liu Bei was in a daze, feeling as if he had seen a different scene.
He seemed to see Jingzhou being stabbed in the back, and his second brother Guan Yu dying at the hands of the rats in Soochow.
The third brother Zhang Fei failed to succeed after leaving the army, and was assassinated by a villain again, so he defected to Soochow.
And he...even though he proclaimed himself emperor in the end and led an army of 700,000 to avenge his brother, he was defeated by a white-faced scholar.
That scholar seems to be Lu Boyan who is guarding Liangzhou!
Liu Bei shook his head and abandoned those useless thoughts. Everything now is reality!
"Liu Xuande only wants to revive the Han Dynasty and has absolutely no intention of arrogance!"
"Your Majesty, you have to wait for me in Xuchang!"
…
The news that Liu Bei was about to raise troops gradually spread to Cao Pi's ears.
All three parties will send spies to the other side's army, not to mention that once there is a military operation, there is no way to hide it.
But Cao Pi is not worried about Liu Bei raising troops now, he has other things to be busy with.
Liu Xie, who had never been to court before, was actually invited today.
Hua Xin and other civil and military officials all went to the pilgrimage to see the saint.
Liu Xie hated Hua Xin extremely. This man originally served the Sun family in Jiangdong and came to Xuchang as an envoy, but in the end he stayed shamelessly.
"Your Majesty, since King Wei came to the throne, his virtue has spread far and wide, and his benevolence has extended to all things. It has surpassed the past and the present. Even the Tang and Yu Dynasties have not been able to surpass this.
"The ministers met at the meeting and said that the Han Dynasty has come to an end. I hope that your majesty will follow the way of Yao and Shun and use the Shanchuan Sheji Zen to communicate with the king of Wei. In order to align with the will of heaven and the will of the people, your majesty will enjoy the blessing of leisure, your ancestors will be blessed, and all living beings will be blessed.
"My ministers and others have agreed to come here to report."
Hua Xin's attitude was arrogant and he clearly told Liu Xie that we had already discussed and recommended Cao Pi to be the person in charge.
"Wait, sir, are you trying to force me to give in?"
Liu Xie had a look of disdain on his face, these people in front of him were simply shameless.
"Your Majesty is wrong, we are not forcing you..."
Before Hua Xin finished speaking, he heard Liu Xie's rebuttal.
"The great ancestor raised the three-foot sword, cut down the snakes and revolted, defeated Qin and destroyed Chu, and created a foundation that has been passed down from generation to generation for four hundred years."
"Although I am not talented, I have never done anything wrong in the beginning. How can I give up the great cause of my ancestors to a treacherous minister?"
"Don't discuss it any further. Unless you kill me, Cao Pi will never usurp the Han Dynasty!"
When Liu Xie said this, Hua Xin and others were embarrassed. They did not expect that the puppet in front of them had such backbone!
"Since the King of Wei came to the throne, the unicorn has been born, the phoenix has come to the ceremony, the yellow dragon has appeared, the golden crops have grown, and the nectar has fallen: these are signs of auspiciousness from heaven, and the symbols of Wei and Han."
Li Fu decisively talked nonsense and said a lot of auspicious omens, and wanted Liu Xie to abdicate.
"Haha, before Cao Pi succeeded to the throne, Cao Cao died!"
"What you just said is that the unicorn is born, the phoenix comes to the ceremony, the yellow dragon appears, the golden harvest grows, and the nectar falls."
"Could it be that God is celebrating Cao Cao's death?"
you……
Li Fu was stunned on the spot. He didn't expect Liu Xie to have a sharp tongue.
At this time, Hua Xin couldn't help but push Xu Zhi, gesturing for him to speak.
"I am in charge of the sky, and when I look at the Qianxiang at night, I see that the Qi of Yanhan has ended, and His Majesty's Emperor's star is hidden."
"Ghosts are on the side, connected by layers. The contemporary Han Dynasty is speechless. The words are in the east, and the afternoon is in the west; the light of the two days moves up and down."
"The ghosts are on the edge and connected with each other, which is the word Wei; the words are in the east and the noon is in the west, which is the word Xu; the two days are combined and the light moves up and down, which is the word Chang."
"This is how Wei should receive Han Zen in Xuchang. I hope your majesty will check it out."
Xu Zhi's method of admonition puts metaphysics into practice and sounds sound and reasonable.
Liu Xie sneered again and again at this time, Cao Pi was really not magnanimous enough.
In order to protect his reputation, he actually wanted to use such despicable methods to make him, the emperor of Han Dynasty, give in?
impossible!
"Auspiciousness and horoscopes lend themselves to false things."
"You just want to use this kind of nonsense to exchange for my country?"
"Get out of here, do you really think I'm a three-year-old child?"
All the ministers thought that Liu Xie would go along with the situation if he came up with a random excuse, and the two sides would not become too tense.
Liu Xie will not have to worry about his life. Everyone will give in and Cao Pi will be able to proclaim himself emperor on behalf of the Han Dynasty.
But who knew Liu Xie would be so tough, leaving everyone at a loss of what to do.
"Since ancient times, there has been prosperity and decline, prosperity and decline. How can there be an undying country and an undefeated home?"
"It has been said that the Han Dynasty has been extended to His Majesty for more than 400 years. It is exhausted. It is better to retreat early and not to hesitate. If it is too late, things will change."
The speaker was Wang Lang, the imperial censor. This man originally guarded Kuaiji County, but was beaten to the point of running away by Sun Ce, and finally defected to Cao Cao.
Wang Lang's remarks were already threatening Liu Xie's personal safety.
"Wang Lang, tell me, why is it too late to change?"
"You mean that I will die suddenly, and then Cao Pi will successfully ascend the throne?"
"Do you think I am afraid of death? You are devouring the emperor's salary and pretending to be a minister of the Han Dynasty!"
Liu Xie stepped forward and slapped Wang Lang in the face, catching the latter off guard.
"Everyone, get out of here! If you want to usurp the Han Dynasty, just step over my body!"
The awe-inspiring people are still there, who says that Han Dynasty is dead!
