Chapter 788: An eye for an eye
To be honest, Liu Xie sincerely did not want to have anything to do with Yuan Shu, and he was even more unwilling to promise Yuan Shu the few truly effective general positions he had.
The Yuan family, which has four generations and three sons, is just a fart in Liu Xie's heart at the moment, a fart that makes people sick.
Liu Xie pouted and stood there for a long time without saying a word.
This made Liu Qi feel a little helpless.
This child needs more education.
So, he began to patiently advise Liu Xie, and once again explained the pros and cons to him in detail.
Although Liu Qi had explained these words to Liu Xie in detail when he first came to Beijing, Liu Xie seemed to have forgotten all his original advice.
The young man is quite forgetful.
As a last resort, Liu Qi once again explained the general trend of the world to Liu Xie and detailed the pros and cons.
After some consolation from Liu Qi, Liu Xie finally nodded and agreed.
Liu Qi said: "Yuan Shu has regarded Yuan Shao as a strong enemy since he was young, and the two were quite at odds. Later, Yuan Shao became the general, ranking first among the military officers, and his status was much higher than Yuan Shu. If your majesty wants to win over Yuan Shu,
For my own use, the position of general must be given to Yuan Shu, so that his status is similar to that of Yuan Shao. Only in this way can we succeed."
Liu Xiechang sighed and said: "The great general, the hussar general, and the general of the guard have all been selected. Yuan Shu is now the rear general... If he has a similar status to the general, then we can only worship him as..."
"General Chariot and Cavalry." Liu Qi answered calmly.
Since the death of Huangfu Song, the position of General of Chariots and Cavalry has been vacant. Now if he wants to win over Yuan Shu, he will naturally use this position of general.
Only the chariot general's position can be considered to be on the same level as Yuan Shao's general.
"That's all, since it was the Emperor's brother's advice, I think there shouldn't be any problems...I'm sure, Emperor's brother, I'll leave the matter of joining forces with Yuan Shu to the Emperor's full authority."
Liu Qi gave a long salute: "I will do my best to live up to the emperor's favor."
Liu Xie walked up to Liu Qi and said: "But now Yuan Shao has used rumors to slander me, and has united with the foreign tribes in the north to plot evil... If Yuan Shao takes advantage of the foreign tribes in the north to invade south, and wants to send troops to Luoyang to protect him, wouldn't I be trapped in his hands?
?What can I do if it seems like this?”
Liu Qi smiled and said: "Your Majesty, Yuan Shao can use tricks to spread rumors, and we can also use tricks to spread rumors."
Liu Xie didn't know what he meant: "Brother, please elaborate."
Liu Qi patiently explained to Liu Xie: "Your Majesty, Yuan Shao secretly used rumors to smear that Your Majesty is not of the late emperor's blood. Can't we use rumors to smear him? If we talk about the ability to spread rumors, the number of guards under my command has already been
There are more than ten thousand, spread all over the north and south of the Yangtze River. With just one word from your majesty, I will be on both sides of the Yellow River and Yuan Shao's reputation will be ruined."
When Liu Xie heard this, he immediately became energetic.
Everyone is willing to do something like an eye for an eye.
"What does the emperor plan to do?"
Liu Qi sneered: "The Southern Huns moved south, and the Three Kings Tribe and Xianbei invaded the border. Although your Majesty cannot directly say that it was Yuan Shao who did it, I can spread rumors among the people, saying that Yuan Shao colluded with the northern foreigners and had the intention of rebellion. As long as
I thought, even if there is no evidence, this matter can be spread so loudly that everyone will know about it!"
Liu Xie nodded suddenly and said, "But it's just a rumor after all. It cannot prove Yuan Shao's guilt."
"But the rumors have expanded, and Yuan Shao must also worry about the impact. His family status of the fourth generation and the third prince relies on his reputation to spread around the world. Once the rumors that he colluded with foreign tribes to rebel are made public, Yuan Shao will definitely send someone to the court to clarify himself.
, as long as Yuan Shao sends people to the table, the initiative will be in the hands of His Majesty!"
After all, Liu Xie was young and his reaction was relatively slow. He was unable to react to the idea that Liu Qi had in mind.
"I still don't understand what the emperor means."
Liu Qi cupped his hands and said: "Yuan Shao took the initiative to clarify that he has nothing to do with the entry of foreign invaders. Then your majesty can give him an edict. If Yuan Shao wants to show his innocence, he will send troops to kill the Three Kings and Xianbei tribes and drive them away."
Go back to the desert to prove your innocence!"
When Liu Xie heard this, he finally understood what Liu Qi was thinking.
"Brilliant plan, brilliant plan! If Yuan Shao doesn't agree, he won't be able to clarify that he has nothing to do with the invasion of foreign invaders. Instead, he will give me a reason to doubt him. When the news is spread, the rumors will become more serious. But if Yuan Shao really
Leading his troops to fight against the Three Kings and Xianbei... Haha, then he has caused a huge trouble for himself. He instigated those people into my big army. Now if he is asked to fight, will he take action or not?
Wonderful! Wonderful!”
Liu Qi smiled and said: "Your Majesty is wise!"
Liu Xie looked at Liu Qi with deep admiration in his eyes.
"Brother Imperial is really a capable person. He can think what others cannot think. Only with Brother Imperial's help can I defend the country...Brother Imperial, I want to promote you to the rank of former general, with a gold seal and purple ribbon, and the position of Your Excellency."
Liu Qi hurriedly bowed and thanked him.
…
Afterwards, Liu Qi greeted Liu Yu and Liu Bei and began to integrate his troops and march towards Jingzhou.
Before leaving, Liu Qi sent someone to deliver the intelligence brought back by the Guard Agency to Wang Yun, allowing him to consider it himself.
After Wang Yun learned about Yuan Shao's actions in Hebei, the arrogance in his heart disappeared, and he no longer targeted Liu Qi.
He personally invited Liu Yu to visit the government to have a talk.
Under the pressure of the general situation, the two sides quickly reached a consensus and unanimously communicated to the outside world.
Of course, both parties have Xiao Jiujiu hidden in their hearts.
…
Soon, the guards of the Guards Department began to spread rumors on both sides of the Yellow River about Yuan Shao's collusion with the Southern Xiongnu and Xianbei, and the prominent families of the Three Kings Tribe.
Of course, this is not actually a real rumor. Yuan Shao did indeed do this.
The Guards Department acted very quickly, and the news that Yuan Shao united with foreign prisoners soon spread widely on both sides of the Yellow River.
For a time, not only the people, but also the gentry groups of the Han Dynasty and the clans in various places were greatly shocked.

All the people in the world immediately began to criticize Yuan Shao.
The first person to learn the news was Cao Cao, who stationed troops in Puyang.
"Haha, I didn't expect that these people in Luoyang are quite powerful. This rumor most likely spread from Luoyang, but Yuan Shao has no evidence and has no choice but to be led by the imperial court! Emperor!
Although he is young, he still has some skills."
Cao Cao laughed and discussed the game between Yuan Shao and the imperial court to all his subordinates.
Guo Jiayan said: "Ming Gong, the current situation is a God-given opportunity for us. Now the eyes of all forces are focused on the imperial court and Hebei. We should quickly send troops to attack Pengcheng and capture Xuzhou.
Determine the foundation of the Central Plains!"
Cao Cao nodded and said: "The words of filial piety are true. Now Xuzhou has experienced several wars and its strength has declined. Cao also contacted Zang Ba, Chang Xi and others. They have agreed to surrender. Taking this opportunity, Xuzhou can fight in a battle.
Sure! But..."
Cao Cao looked back and forth at everyone: "But the next step is likely to be a game between Benchu and the imperial court. At this juncture, what should Cao do?"
Xun Yu stood up and said: "After all, the emperor of Luoyang is the orthodox king in the world. If Yuan Shao rebels against the imperial court, he should be regarded as a traitor, and Ming Gong cannot join him."
After hearing Xun Yu's words, Cao Cao smiled helplessly.
Xun Wenruo came from a famous family in Yingchuan, and he was relatively firm in supporting the orthodox royal family.
