Three Kingdoms: Hegemony System

Chapter 34



After listening to the analysis of Zhuge Liang and Pang Tong, Liu Jue's thinking became clearer and clearer.

Cao Cao sent an envoy to Jingzhou this time, and the target was very likely to be himself!

If you think about it carefully, Cao Cao has basically pacified the north now, and whether it is the Gongsun clan in Liaodong or Han Sui in Liangzhou, they will not pose much threat to Cao Cao.

So Cao Cao's next step was to pacify the south of the Yangtze River.

Since he was already planning to go south, Cao Cao certainly hoped that the smoother the better, and did not want to cause major trouble, and it was best for Liu Biao and Sun Quan to take the initiative to surrender.

Liu Jue defeated Zhou Yu and captured the four cities of Chaisang, whether it was Jiangdong or Jingzhou, they were all shaken by this.

When Cao Cao heard the news, it was impossible for him to be unresponsive.

In addition, Liu Jue is the son of Liu Biao, the son of a prince, and has the possibility of separating one side, the best example is Jiangdong Sun Quan.

Therefore, Cao Cao has begun to consider the possible threat of Liu Jue to the great cause of the Southern Expedition.

Of course, Cao Cao did not know the future, let alone that in history, he would be defeated at Chibi, and he only instinctively wanted to reduce the risk.

Therefore, Cao Cao thought about dealing with Liu Jue at this time, and the most likely way was to let Liu Jue go to Xuchang as a hostage and imprison Liu Jue.

As for the reason, just find any one.

Liu Jue will definitely not be able to bird Cao Cao, so the final result is probably that the Cao Ren army in Wancheng will be overwhelmed.

Cao Ren is a general under Cao Cao, sitting in Wancheng, with 20,000 male soldiers, even if Zhou Yu's soldiers are slightly inferior.

By the next day, the Jingzhou officials led by Liu Biao had already put on the incense case and prepared to welcome the messenger of the Son of Heaven.

"Lord, the messenger of the Son of Heaven is almost in Xiangyang City, shall we not go out of the city to greet him?" Cai Mao arched his hand and said to Liu Biao, going out of the city to greet the Son of Heaven is the most basic etiquette.

"Cao Thief sent someone over this time, most of them are not good, so there is no need to be too grand. Liu Biao shook his head slightly.

Liu Biao is a relative of the Han family and a prince, so he naturally regards Cao Cao as a thief, and with Liu Jue's influence, how can he have a good face for Cao Cao.

Liu Jue on the side nodded, although Liu Biao lost his ambition to dominate the world because of his age, he was still very tough in the face of Cao Cao.

Cai Mao couldn't help but be a little worried when she saw this, but since Liu Biao said so, he couldn't say anything more.

At the same time, a team of chariots and horses, surrounded by hundreds of guards, was slowly coming from the north towards Xiangyang City.

In one of the carriages, there were two people, both in their thirties.

The man on the left was a dignified man, dressed in a dark robe, with a sword hanging from his waist, and an air of military spirit.

The man on the right is a white-faced scholar, although he looks very good, but looking at his expression, it gives people a sense of superiority.

These two people are the envoys sent by Cao Cao this time: the main envoy Tian Yu and the deputy envoy Liu Rang.

Liu Rang is also a member of the Han family, but his official position is not high, he looked outside the carriage, and couldn't help but snort coldly and said: "Brother Guorang, they all say that Jiangnan is a wild land, and now it seems that this is indeed the case." "

"Why do you say this?" Tian Yu raised his eyebrows and asked.

"That Liu Biao is also a member of the Han family, and he governs Jingzhou instead of the Son of Heaven, and now I am waiting for the messenger of the Son of Heaven to arrive, but he does not go out of the city to greet us, he simply does not understand the etiquette at all!"

Liu Rang snorted heavily, and said very dissatisfiedly: "Not only do you not understand etiquette, but it is simply a matter of punishment for his heart! "

Tian Yu shook his head and smiled when he heard this, and did not say anything about Liu Rang's words.

Liu Rang is actually the person of Liu Xie, the Son of Heaven, although the Han family exists in name only, and the Son of Heaven has become a puppet ornament, but there are always one or two die-hard people, and this Liu Rang is one of them.

This time he went to Jingzhou, and Liu Xie, the son of heaven, inserted Liu Rang in.

The purpose is obvious, that is, to ask Liu Rang to contact Liu Biao secretly, and want to do something in private.

Tian Yu doesn't say anything about it, this Liu Rang is sanctimonious, scathing, and his talent is quite ordinary.

Liu Biao just didn't go out of the city to greet him, and Liu Rang was already dissatisfied in his heart, what kind of big thing can this kind of person do?

It can be seen that there are no reliable talents around Liu Xie, the son of heaven.

Liu Rang saw Tian Yu smiling and silent, and a wave of anger suddenly rose in his heart.

"Tian Guorang, let you be proud for a moment now, and when the Son of Heaven takes power in the future, he will definitely destroy you rebels!" Liu Rang thought hatefully in his heart.

As a member of the Han family, Liu Rang has a natural sense of superiority, but now he is in control of all his strength, but it is a person surnamed Cao.

In addition, Liu Rang thinks very highly of himself, but he has no ability, so he can't be reused by Cao Cao, and when he is depressed, he slowly moves closer to Liu Xie, the son of heaven.

Liu Rang still fantasized in his heart that when he waited for the Son of Heaven to be in power in the future, he would be able to soar and become the third duke.

I have to say that Liu Rang is very naïve, and he is not the only one who is naïve, there is also Liu Xie, the son of heaven today.

As Liu Xie gradually grew up, he became more and more dissatisfied with being controlled by Cao Cao, and pondered all day long how to be able to hold power.

Previously, Liu Xie made a cloth edict, but he didn't expect to be discovered by Cao Cao, and as a result, not only Dong Cheng was killed, but even the pregnant Concubine Dong Guifei did not escape.

Now he took advantage of the opportunity of Cao Cao to send an envoy to Jingzhou this time to insert Liu Rang as a deputy envoy, wanting Liu Biao to be a foreign aid and save him, the son of heaven, from fire and water.

It's just that Liu Xie's vision is not very good, and he found an unreliable Liu Rang, and now Liu Rang has not entered Xiangyang City, and he has already begun to hate Liu Biao.

"When you enter the city after a while, you must reprimand Liu Biao, who is also a member of the Han family, but you don't even know the slightest bit of etiquette, how can you help the Son of Heaven achieve great things?"

Liu Rang gritted his teeth and thought that in his opinion, the world is still surnamed Liu, Cao Cao is just a temporary minister, and Liu Xie, the son of heaven, will be in power in the future.

At that time, with the eloquence of Liu Xie, the son of heaven, he will definitely sweep away the rebellious ministers and restore the Liu family.

"When I return to Xuchang, I have to refer to him in front of the Son of Heaven to relieve the hatred in my heart!" Liu Rang thought in his heart, and the carriage had already entered Xiangyang City.
