Liu Qi and other soldiers and horses drove rapidly southward at an extremely fast speed, throwing off the pursuers in Jushu and Bingzhou, and finally arrived at the border between Bingzhou and Guanzhong three days later.

I originally thought that Yuan Jun would send heavy troops to pursue them, but I didn't expect that until Liu Qi and others entered the territory of Guanzhong, there was still no trace of Yuan Jun.

After entering the territory of Guanzhong, Liu Yu immediately sent troops to meet him. As for the Jingzhou army, Xu Shu personally came to greet Liu Qi with his troops.

The group of people returned to Chang'an, and Liu Qi told Liu Yu about the pursuit of the Xiliang army.

Although they did not capture Li Jue, Guo Si, Duan Xuan and others, they did recover the heads of Li Meng and Wang Fang, which is considered a great achievement.

Of course, the Xiliang army led by Li Jue joined the Hebei camp, which increased Yuan Shao's strength. This matter also worried Liu Yu.

But things had reached this point, and Liu Yu had no way to turn around.

Especially when he heard about the soldiers and horses accompanying Wen Chou who were chasing Liu Qi, as well as the army of the Southern Huns, Liu Yu was even more worried.

While he was sending people to record the achievements of Zhang Liao, Liu Bei, Zhao Yun and others, he then went to Liu Qi to discuss matters regarding Hebei.

"Yuan Shao has occupied the land of the four states, and now he seems to be in contact with the Xiongnu and other foreign tribes. If he is contacting the foreign tribes in Youzhou and leading the people of the Yan Dynasty to go south, I am afraid that no one in the world can resist him."

Liu Qi also felt a little worried.

It would be fine if it was just Yuan Shao.

However, because the wheel of history has changed direction, after Yuan Shao unified the four states, Cao Cao's power was not as strong as in history. Therefore, Cao Cao is not Yuan Shao's target now. On the contrary, he still needs to rely on Yuan Shao.

In other words, Yuan Cao is still one body at the moment.

It is not easy to block Yuan Shao or Cao Cao alone, but now if we have to deal with Yuan Shao's two powerful troops, even Liu Qi cannot do it.

But what if Liu Qi and the imperial court unite?

To be honest, even if Liu Qi unites the imperial court, he doesn't have much confidence.

Seeing that Liu Qi was silent, Liu Yu couldn't help but become a little anxious.

He said eagerly: "Bo Yu, what clever trick do you have, why don't you tell me quickly?"

Liu Qi said helplessly: "Master, to be honest, there is nothing I can do."

"There's nothing we can do?" Liu Yu was shocked when he heard this: "Even you can't do anything, so how should we solve this matter? Are we just sitting back and waiting for death?"

Liu Qi shook his head: "It is not necessarily a inevitable defeat. Although Yuan Shao is powerful, after all, the imperial court is the orthodoxy, the emperor is the common leader of the world, and the righteousness is on our side... As long as we can lobby all the forces to respond to us

, it doesn’t mean that we can’t fight Yuan Shao.”

"What forces are lobbying?" Liu Qi asked curiously.

Liu Qi said seriously: "First of all, we must reach a consensus with Wang Yun. If Wang Yun and we are not of the same mind about the current matter, and there are still many gaps between each other in the capital, then the matter will not be easy to deal with... I want to talk to Tai

We will return to Luoyang together with the master to meet His Majesty, and then have an interview with Grand Master Wang."

Liu Yu bowed his head and said: "Even if you don't want to go to Beijing, I still want to invite you to go with me to Luoyang. It just so happens that without further delay, you and I will prepare for three days and then return to Luoyang to meet His Majesty!"

"

…

Three days later, Liu Qi and Wang Yun led their troops back to Luoyang, the eastern capital.

During this era, since Dong Zhuo did not burn down the ancestral temple in Luoyang, Luoyang was not as dilapidated compared to the same period in history.

After two consecutive years of construction by the imperial court, Luoyang has gradually restored its former glory.

Liu Qi accompanied Liu Yu to Luoyang and stationed the army outside Luoyang City. He himself led his personal guards into the city to meet the emperor Liu Xie.

When Liu Xie heard that Liu Qi was coming, he couldn't help but be overjoyed.

He immediately ordered to summon Liu Qi and Liu Yu in Deyang Palace.

There were no other courtiers in the entire palace hall, only Liu Xie summoned Liu Qi and Liu Yu.

After seeing Liu Qi, Liu Xie stood up from his seat, walked quickly to Liu Qi, held his hand, and said with excitement: "Brother, I finally see you again!"

Although Liu Xie seemed very close to Liu Qi, Liu Qi still abided by the etiquette of respect and courtesy and saluted Liu Qi respectfully. Then he smiled and said: "Compared to the time we met in the past, Your Majesty's body is longer and his spirit is full. He is like a master."

Prime Minister, I, a big man, really have hope for ZTE!"

Liu Xie sighed and said: "It is only thanks to the help of outstanding people in the clan like the Grand Master and the Emperor's Brother that we can restore the Han Dynasty to its former glory. This time the Grand Master and the Emperor's Brother marched westward, destroyed Han, collected Ma Teng, and settled in Guanzhong.

Breaking the Yellow Turban, chasing Li Jue and killing Li Meng Wang Fang, it can be said to be an outstanding achievement. Now Guanzhong is back under the control of the imperial court, which is really gratifying and congratulatory."

Liu Yu stepped forward and reported to Liu Xiezuo: "Your Majesty, although the victory in Guanzhong is gratifying, there is another matter that we need to report to Your Majesty...it is related to the life and death of my great man."

Seeing Liu Yu's seriousness, Liu Xie listened carefully.

Liu Yu spoke concisely and comprehensively, and told Liu Xie everything about Yuan Shao.

After all, Liu Xie was still a young man. Hearing that Yuan Shao was disobedient when he unified Hebei, his face turned pale with shock.

He trembled and said: "Yuan Shao is powerful and the leader of the world. If he intends to rebel, what should I do?"

Liu Yuyan said: "This is the main reason why I invited General Zhenxi here. We still need to discuss a proper solution."

Liu Xie looked at Liu Qi: "Brother Emperor, what do you think of this matter?"

Liu Qi cupped his hands and said, "Don't worry, Your Majesty. Although Yuan Shao has different intentions, it's not the last moment yet. He won't quarrel with the Han Dynasty yet. During this period, I want to form an alliance with the princes who rebelled against Yuan.

Let’s fight against Yuan Shao and Cao Cao together!”

Liu Qi heard this and said hurriedly: "Who does the emperor want to unite with?"

"In order to fight against foreign aggression, we must first make peace at home. We must first ensure that Grand Master Wang and we are on the same front to avoid trouble in the rear... In addition, Gongsun Zan has just been captured by Yuan Shao in Qingzhou and is displaced. He may be able to use it. Yuan Shu has always been at odds with Yuan Shao.

, if Yuan Shu can help, he can compete with Yuan Shao for the resources of those sects. After all, Yuan Shu has a very high status in the Yuan sect and is not lower than Yuan Shao."

Liu Xie was stunned when he said this.

Not to mention it was him, Liu Yu couldn't believe it either.

"Yuan Shu? Can he respond to me?"

Liu Qi thought carefully for a moment and said: "Yuan Shu occupied the Huaihe region and conquered and expropriated it for many years. The people complained about it. Although he showed signs of decline, his ambition remained undiminished, and the camels that died were bigger than horses. Even though Yuan Shu had made great military achievements in these years

He has been repeatedly defeated in battles, but as the father of the Yuan family, his reputation and foundation among the gentry are still there. Now that Yuan Shao is so powerful, although Yuan Shu doesn't say it on the face, he must be very unconvinced in his heart... After all, he and

Yuan Shao is a rival, and they are at odds with each other."

Liu Yu asked suspiciously: "In order to unite with Yuan Shu, Yuan Shao gave up his father's position to him, prompting the two Yuan to form an alliance. Now, is it possible for Yuan Shu to turn against him?"

"At one time and another, the facts proved that the title of father-in-law given to Yuan Shu by Yuan Shao was of no use and did not bring any substantial benefits to Yuan Shu. Instead, it caused him to lose his troops in Jingzhou, and Yuan Shao himself gained
