The emperor said: I ordered the Prime Minister of Beihai, General Yangwu, and Liu Mengyanchuang, Marquis of Guanting.

The general was originally a royal family and had been living among the people since he was a child. Now he started in Beihai to quell the thieves and was very pleased. He ordered him to return to the capital today, and to celebrate the ceremony of worshiping the heavens with the New Year, worshiping the ancestral temple. I admire this.

This is an edict, with the emperor's seal and the monk's seal.

It was the emperor who drafted the order and then issued it through the three ministers. The objects used were also presented to the prefects of the county and the generals and above, and ordinary people could not see it at all.

However, now Cao Cao is in charge of the emperor to order the princes, and no one knows whether the emperor's edict was drafted by the Emperor of Han.

At least in Liu Chuang's memory, he had already received such edicts when he was awarded the title of prefect of Qi County and General Yangwu, so he was not unfamiliar with the emperor's seal on the edict.

"Meng Yan, can you see the clue?"

After Zhong Yao issued the edict, he looked at Liu Chuang and asked.

Liu Chuang looked ugly, "Is this what Cao Cao came from?"

Zhong Yao nodded, "Mr. Cao doesn't want the war in Xuzhou to continue, and he believes that if it continues, it will be meaningless. In the end, it will be nothing more than a result of both sides' losses. So he hopes to stop the war as soon as possible and invite you to Xudu even more sincerely."

"Mr. Zhong, I have no intention of offending you.

It’s just that Cao Cao’s actions did not want to lose both sides, which is an excuse... As far as I know, Yuan San Gongzi stationed troops in Liyang and stared at Xu Du. Liu Biao in Jingzhou was also ready to move, so Cao Cao said that. Go to Xu Du? If the young master goes to Xu Du, it would be a lot of danger."

Before Liu Chuang could speak, Chen Gong spoke first.

Zhang Liao showed disdain on the side, as if saying: You, Cao Cao, are afraid, are afraid, why use such an excuse?

In fact, how many people believe this excuse is said?

Zhong Yao smiled on his face, "This is Mr. Gongtai?"

"It's Chen Gong."

"Mr. Cao Zeng said that Mr. Gongtai is outstanding in his talent, and it is a pity that you left him."

"I didn't want to leave him, Cao Cao did things against him and killed famous scholars, which was not done by the human lord. If I left him, I was just looking for another lord."

Zhong Yao said: "Mr. Gongtai, I don't want to discuss with you who is right and who is wrong.

But I want to ask, do you think Meng Yan has room to refuse this edict?"

"this……"

"Cao Cao respects the emperor to order the princes, and he can also submit to the emperor to attack the unjust ministers.

This emperor issued an edict! It was planned by the emperor. Do you think Meng Yan could have other choices? If he did not accept it, he would be disrespectful to resist the edict. What is the result of disrespectful to resist the edict? I believe you are very clear about it, that is, it is regarded as a rebellion. Meng Yan was originally the emperor's uncle and valued by the emperor, so he achieved today's achievements. But if he had the reputation of rebellion, then how many people in the world would be willing to follow him?"

"this……"

Chen Gong also showed a look of entanglement on his face.

Zhang Liao frowned and said nothing for a while.

If Liu Chuang lost his reputation as the emperor, the situation would definitely become very bad.

Not to mention anything else, even if Cao Cao did not attack him, it was a fact that he refused to obey the order. If he did not do it well, he would become the same as Lu Bu's previous situation. Grandma did not love him, uncle did not love him, and even his troops would fluctuate. This situation is indeed very serious.

Liu Chuang's eyes closed slightly and he didn't say anything.

After Zhong Yao finished speaking, he suddenly sneered: "Should I stretch my neck as my uncle said and let Cao Cao cut it down with a knife?"

Zhong Yao sighed, "I know that Meng Yan and Cao Gong have a deep misunderstanding, but in today's world, Cao Gong is the only one who can revive the Han Dynasty.

Meng Yan, please don’t accept it. I also know that you are very talented and have achieved what you have achieved in just a few years. But you must be clear that your achievements today are because of your father’s protection. If you were not the son of Brother Tao, if you were not supported by Mr. Kang Chenggong, how could you have gained such a quick foothold? You are unparalleled in courage, you are outstanding in talent, but you have lost some qualifications and missed the best opportunity.

If you rise to Qingzhou ten years ago, I will give you the help of Zhong.

But now...

Meng Yan, the overall situation has been decided, can't you see clearly? Cao Gong is named orthodox, and even Yuan Shao may not be his opponent in the future. You are arrogant and may not be willing to really surrender to Yuan Shao. If you are caught between the two of you, do you think you can get a good deal?

Meng Yan, listen to me: Let it go!"

Zhong Yao's words were sincere and sincere.

Liu Chuang also knew very well that Zhong Yao was considering him.

It seems that Zhong Yao is a firm supporter of Cao Cao!

But, let Liu Chuang give up the foundation he had worked hard to build and then surrender to Cao Cao? He couldn't do it...

Not to mention that he and Cao Cao have already broken his face. Even if they have not broken it, how could he get along with Cao Cao after doing so many things?

"There is one more thing I want to tell you, don't think that Mr. Cao really has no confidence to fight you.

The reason why he had been reluctant to send troops across the Huai River was to make arrangements. The day before yesterday, Sun Ce from Jiangdong sent an envoy to visit Cao Gong in Huaiyin, and he had agreed to send troops to attack Guangling. What you rely on is nothing more than Sun Ce's twenty sea ships. But if Sun Ce attacks you, how sure do you think Sun Ce agrees because Cao Gong is orthodox, how could he refuse?"

Liu Chuang's face changed and his heart suddenly became cold.

How can we know that the people of the Three Kingdoms are ugly when we are aware of the iron horses and golden swords of the Three Kingdoms?

The little overlord of Jiangdong has always been his favorite figure in his previous life. He thought he had a good friend to Sun Ce, and even exchanged 200,000 hu of food and grass for sea boats, so that Sun Ce would not make things difficult for him. But who would have thought that in the end, Sun Ce would agree to attack him with Cao Cao? Think about it, who can be a prince in the country, and who is a truly kind gentleman? Today is an enemy and tomorrow is a friend. To put it bluntly, the princes are just a group of sons.

Whoever gives more money will follow.

Sun Ce?

A violent light flashed in Liu Chuang's eyes, and after a snort, he stopped talking.

The atmosphere in the county government suddenly became a little dull.

Zhang Liao and Chen Gong clenched their fists even more, and their murderous intent was singular on their faces.

"Meng Yan, you want to go back to Beihai, but it is not a long-term solution.

Don’t Cao Gong know that if you return to Beihai, you will feel like you are letting a tiger return to the mountain? His edict made a clear attitude.

If you obey the order, there is still a glimmer of hope; if you don't obey, you will resist the order and make a rebellion... At that time, do you think Yuan Shao will really help you?"

After Zhong Yao said that, he stood up and walked to Liu Chuang.

"Meng Yan, don't blame my uncle for not helping you, but the current situation can no longer help you.

This edict contains the Seal of the Shangshu. Who is the Seal of the Shangshu? I think you know that... Wen Ruo entrusts all the hope of reviving the Han Dynasty on Cao Gong, so he will definitely not allow you to have such variables. This edict is based on Cao Gong's wishes. To put it bluntly, you can return the edict to the capital, just a single edict. But Wen Ruo still issued this edict, and it will guarantee you that it will never ruin your life.

The edict was issued, and everyone in the world knew it.

If you were summoned by the Emperor, even if Cao Gong wants to kill you, he should think twice.

Do you know that I was arranged by Cao in Xia Pi for ten days until you abandoned Huaiyin, and Cao Gong ordered me to come... Gongtai said it was right, and the third young master Yuan was indeed ready to move. But what can I do? With Wen Ruo in charge of Xudu, Xiahou Miaocai and Cao Zixiao stayed behind, how much do you think Yuan Shang can win? If Yuan Shao had the power of Hebei, Cao Gong might be worried about it. But Yuan Shang..."

Zhong Yao sneered and said, "It's not that I underestimated him, he is definitely not a match for Wen Ruo.

As for Liu Biao, it is even more worth worrying. Zhang Xiu was so scared by Cao Gong that he had been beaten to death. But what big thing could Liu Biao accomplish if he was a mob in his hands? Meng Yan, listen to my advice and just follow me back to Yingchuan. Wenruo and I will protect you from wealth and honor for the rest of your life."

This sentence has clearly expressed Zhong Yao's position.

Liu Chuang raised his head and looked at Zhong Yao, with a hint of sternity in his eyes.

Zhong Yao was not afraid at all, his eyes facing Liu Chuang, and his face showed a calm expression.

Although he met Liu Chuang for the first time, he has had a deep understanding of Liu Chuang over the past two years.

He believed that Liu Chuang would make the most correct choice.

"My uncle came from afar. I guess he was tired, so I'd better go and rest first."

Liu Chuang rose up, swung his sleeves, turned around and left.

Zhong Yao said behind him: "Meng Yan, I know that you may be dissatisfied with me, but I am for your own good and have no selfish thoughts. Cao Gong has not given you much time. If you do not reply on the tenth day of the day, he will raise an army to attack. Now Guangling County is already in panic and the people are determined. Chen Gui and Chen Deng and his son have a great prestige in Guangling, how can you take advantage of it? I hope you think twice."

Liu Chuang paused, but ignored Zhong Yao and left alone.

Looking at Liu Chuang's back, Zhong Yao couldn't help but feel bitter, sighed secretly, and turned around and walked out.

In fact, he didn't know that Liu Chuang would feel dissatisfied with him because of this.

Anyone would probably feel extremely angry.

But in his opinion, Liu Chuang was really too young... his prestige and qualifications were not enough to take on great responsibilities. No matter what, Cao Cao was prestige step by step. He rose from the Yellow Turban Rebellion, assassinated Dong Zhuo, and the twenty-two princes attacked Dong Zhuo, and visited the battlefield countless times. He established his prestige in the midst of failures. Not to mention that he was the emperor to command the princes, and his wings were full.

In this case, the gap between Liu Chuang and Cao Cao was too big.

He previously relied on Liu Tao's Yu Yin and Zheng Xuan's prestige to gain a foothold in Beihai Kingdom and even seized Donglai.

But this foundation is not solid enough.

This battle in Xuzhou shows the clues... Cao Cao couldn't deal with him! If Cao Cao really wanted to make up for trouble with Liu Chuang, even if Liu Chuang had two counties, Beihai and Donglai, he would not be able to compete with Cao Cao at all. Since that's the case, why bother?

Anyway, I have a clear conscience.

What I did was the revival of the Han Dynasty, and I was even more concerned about my elder brother.

Thinking of this, Zhong Yao took a deep breath and his steps became more firm: In short, I must convince Meng Yan to protect his bloodline!

In the garden behind the county government office, Liu Chuang sat in the pavilion without saying a word.

He can understand Zhong Yao's choice.

To be honest, Zhong Yao was able to think about him and say those words was sincere.

Although Zhong Yao was his uncle in name, in fact, Liu Chuang and Zhong Yao had no blood relationship. He was willing to protect him like this, so he was willing to do his best.

But what he said really hurt people a little.
