twenty-third chess piece

Since the years since he took the throne of the emperor, Emperor Xian has always been held hostage by the rude Western Liang warlords such as Dong Zhuo and Li Jue.

Emperor Xian, who has always been worried, can only show some true feelings in front of the two of the most confidants. Otherwise, the young Emperor Xian, who is full of energy, has nowhere to vent, and it is hard to say whether he can persevere through the strongest people!

Dong Cheng, who is older, immediately spoke up and dissuaded: "Master, we have persisted along the way. Now we are almost at the old capital Luoyang. Does the emperor want to give up instead?

Your Majesty! Maybe when you arrive in Luoyang, the situation of the Han Dynasty will be better. At that time, the emperor will be able to re-establish his subordinates. Only by re-establishing military power can the emperor settle the accounts with the wolves' ambitions.

Only in this way can the Han Dynasty revive again in the hands of the emperor! If the prefectures and counties are summoned to serve the king at this time, even if the rebellious soldiers who can defeat Li Guo at present, there will inevitably be a second or even a third Dong Zhuo who controls the government.

Aren't Li and Guo the best proof? And we have discussed it carefully before, and we have already made a conclusion on this. We escaped from the control of Li Jue and others, and immediately rebuilt the Han army after returning to Luoyang.

The emperor, the ministers think that they should think twice about calling on foreign vassals to serve the king!”

Dong Cheng, who is also known as a general but does not have much military force in his hand, understands the root cause of the weak imperial power now. Without mastering the powerful military force belonging to the royal family, it is impossible to safeguard the dignity of the royal family.

There is only one truth in the world, and only by holding a strong soldier can one have powerful power.

Emperor Xian said helplessly: "But my father-in-law! After seeing so many accidents over the past year, can't you see clearly the attitudes of the county magistrates in the world towards the current court and the emperor?

Alas, you should know that even if we can finally avoid Li Zhe’s poisonous hands and escape to Luoyang safely. But no one offered us food, weapons and supplies. Rebuilding the Han army is just a cake!

I have already figured out the truth along the way. Only by summoning the soldiers of the kings in the world and looking for opportunities from it. Seizing military power is the only way. My father-in-law doesn’t have to persuade him anymore, but he should think about how to issue an edict to the world!"

Seeing that Emperor Xian had made a decision, he knew that this young man with an increasingly firm personality would not change his mind. Dong Cheng, who had no choice but to take the order dejectedly, took a step back, and said nothing.

In secret, he looked at Zhong Yao on the side, hoping that he could persuade the emperor. After all, under the tyranny of Li, Guo and others, both the emperor and the ministers had enough humiliation without dignity.

If another powerful monarch is summoned, he will be just out of the tiger's mouth and into the wolf's den. And that's true, I'm afraid that the imperial power will never have a chance to turn over again.

Seeing that the two had a certain plan, Zhong Yao stepped forward and bowed and said, "The emperor is a wise and wise man. It is a blessing for the rest of the world today. As the emperor said, the current situation is indeed like this. But I have a word. Please make sure that the emperor makes a clear decision!"

Zhong Yao's few flatteries made Emperor Xian calm down slightly. He nodded and asked Zhong Yao to continue speaking.

"I think that if the emperor wants to summon foreign troops to the capital to serve the king, he should not issue a random order to serve the king. Instead, he should convene three to two families, who are similar in strength but are loyal to the court.

It is important to know that even if one family is the only one, even if one can still be loyal to the court, in the future, it will inevitably breed an ambition. However, no matter what, countless forces of all sizes should be summoned.

Isn’t the emperor still tired of the so-called four generals in the front hall?”

The stimulating expression of Zhong Yao's implicit sarcasm made his face turn a little red. Emperor Xian could only let out a long sigh helplessly.

"Alas! Those shameless things are simply shamelessness of the Han military system! But I have no better way at the moment.

Now that there is nothing, if you want to quickly expand your strength, you have to think of some extraordinary ways! You can't just live by this!"

Listening to Emperor Xian’s half-frustrated and half-helpful complaining, Dong Cheng, who was beside him, suddenly had a lit eyes: “Does Censor Zhong have a suitable candidate for the king? Can you say that the emperor will consider it?

Just as it is possible to restrict several similar forces from each other, it is the best way at present!"

Seeing Emperor Xian's eyes, he was also attracted by the words of the uncle. Zhong Yao nodded slightly: "Emperor! I think that today's forces that can compete with Li Guo are only three families. The others are just a mess of sand, and it is difficult to achieve great things!"

Before Zhong Yao finished speaking, the two people who knew almost everything about the world were talking immediately.

"Is it Yuan Benchu, Sun Bofu, and Cao Mengde! Do Zhong Aiqing refer to these three families?"

"The emperor is wise, but I think these three families are coming to Luoyang together. Only then can the emperor act in it!"

"Chief Zhong is indeed extremely wise and I will admire him! If these three families can compete for favor with each other while helping the emperor, then it will be a great good thing for the emperor's great cause of revival! A brilliant plan, indeed a brilliant plan!"

Emperor Xian didn't say anything else, but there was a strange light flashing deep in his eyes.

He looked at Zhong Yao with some shock: "Isn't this the most wise emperor's technique? When the three tigers fight, only I, the true emperor, benefited the most. This Zhong Yuanchang is indeed not a simple person!

Well, I originally thought he would be more favoured with his friend Cao Mengde, but it seems that this is not the case! Yuan Chang was still more loyal to the court after all!

But this method is very clever, so let’s act accordingly! No matter how strong you are, you will be the chess piece in my hand!”

The farce of Emperor Xian's great title of officialdom finally came to an end. Not only was Yang Feng and others appointed by the court as the new round of Four Generals, but at their strong request, they also approved more than 200 officials nominated by the four.

These people who were originally from peddlers, sages, butchers, who were all close to Yang Feng and some generals, all became the lieutenant and the chief lieutenant of the court. They were quite a bit like one at the same time!

Yang Biao and Han Rong, who were in charge of the title of officials, were exhausted by the generals who fought for officials. After repaying Emperor Xian, the young man as the emperor could only shake his head and sigh.

But in a blink of an eye, he cheered up again and had new expectations in his heart. The order to defend the king had been handed over to Zhong Yao to promulgate. As long as he could reach Luoyang, the Han Dynasty would usher in a new beginning.

A brand new beginning when the emperor takes power again. The young Emperor Xian had full confidence in this. From childhood to adulthood, the imperial skills taught by the emperor's grandmother and father were not learned in vain.

A lively welcome dinner in Yanzhou, thousands of miles away, in Cao Cao's prefecture. After drinking, Cao Cao was smiling happily, holding Dian Wei's thick big hand, who had attended the banquet for the first time after he recovered from his injury, kept telling his worries and longing.

"My likes and dislikes are coming, you are finally back! I want to ruin you! Do you know that during the days when you are not here, I am not good at tea and meals day and night, and I can't sleep well. As long as I am awake, I always recite your name!

It’s good to come back, it’s good to come back. With Jun Ming in the army, I will have full confidence. It’s said that the general is the courage of the army. Your evil one is the courage of the officer! Hahahaha!”

The mighty Dian Wei had just recovered from his injury and came to see his lord. He originally wanted to say goodbye to Cao Cao and do something that he had to do as his father.

But as soon as he entered the state palace, he was extremely enthusiastic and meticulously treated by Cao Cao and the generals.

Such a scene made this man who was highly wise feel a little unspeakable. An enlightened and considerate lord, a group of comrades who had once depended on life and death on the battlefield.

What's more, while he was recovering from his injuries, whether it was the lord or the generals, people often went to the injured barracks to visit him.

Those days were the busiest times in Yanzhou. In addition to accepting the newly occupied Xuzhou, everyone had to eliminate Yuan Shu who was entrenched behind him. Clear the obstacles for the future war.

But no one has forgotten him, a reckless man in the injury, so such care is enough. At this moment, Dian Wei is struggling desperately in family affection and loyalty.

A fairer face turned red by the embarrassing mood. Finally, during the more than three months of recuperation, the thorn that had been stuck in his heart always made him struggle to express his request.

"Lord, my subordinates want to say goodbye to you! I think Dian Wei was a reckless man, and he was rude and unpopular. Only the lord was tolerant and did not care about the ridicule of others and gave Wei a high position!

Dian Wei is grateful for his lord's gratitude for his lord! He originally wanted to give his brute force to his lord. It was just a revenge of killing his son, and he was always in his heart. If he did not avenge his son, his subordinates would not be able to forget him at all. Please forgive Dian Wei, an unfaithful person, and say goodbye to his subordinates!"

At this moment, Dian Wei had already claimed the idea of ​​dying. He knew that he would die in Shu County, whether he could kill Sun Ce or Zhou Cang, the two murderers who killed his sons, would have the final result of dying.

Therefore, he wanted to meet Cao Cao for the last time and the generals. Seeing that friendship and the grace of the master and servant could no longer touch Dian Wei, who had made up his mind, Cao Cao finally put away his smile.

Focusingly looking at Dian Wei Jianyi's face: "Junming, have you figured it out? Do you have to go to Shuxian and his party? But..."

Dian Wei, who was guilty, lowered his huge head and responded in a muffled voice: "It's the lord, please forgive Dian Wei for being unfaithful. Wei will serve the lord again in the next life!"

Seeing Dian Wei turning his mountainous body and about to walk out, Cao Cao suddenly became cold and sounded: "Stop! Jun Ming! Do you want your youngest son's life for the hatred for your dead eldest son?"

"Bang!"

With a dull sound, Dian Wei's footsteps fell heavily on the ground, stirring up dust. Cao Cao's low voice was like the most effective amulet, setting Dian Wei's footsteps in place.

Dian Wei, who was stunned for a while, turned around in confusion and looked at Cao Cao with a solemn face: "Young boy? Lord, Dian Wei has never had only one son and has died at the hands of the thief Sun Ce. How could the youngest boy say this?" (To be continued...)
