Chapter 397
"Interesting, so interesting!" Liu Tao laughed when he heard this, "What exactly is the matter?!"
The two looked at each other and were a little confused. It was probably possible that Liu Tao's trip to Luoyang this time was definitely not as simple as Liu Yuanqi. Yuan Shao claimed that finding the bodies of the two princes under the Luoshui should have a direct relationship with Liu Tao.
There was no choice but to report according to the news sent back there... Liu Ge and Shangguan Yu had already returned, so the news was a nail buried in Luoyang a few years ago.
There are many methods, such as inns, papermaking workshops... The wine shop is the best, after all, people dare to say anything when they get drunk. The initial nail was buried just to face the situation. Liu Ge and Shangguan Yu came back and knew nothing about the situation in Luoyang.
"The Liu Xie found by Dong Zhuo. Two years ago, the late emperor found a substitute for him. Usually, the substitute he had imagined was outside, and he hid on the side of Empress Dowager Dong. In the chaos, he was taken away by the swordsman Wang Yue, and then met Dong Zhuo's troops who came to Beijing." Xun Yu said slowly.
"In response to this explanation, Yuan Shao believes that the Prince Xie found by Dong Zhuo may be the substitute himself, or even the substitute Dong Zhuo himself found to pretend to be the Prince Xie. After all, the bodies of the two princes had been found under the Luoshui River. At that time, the two were floating on the river and had no rebirth." Guo Jia came forward to add.
"Then, the key now is not who is right... but what are they going to do next?" Liu Tao was actually thinking, he had not considered the possibility of a substitute.
Or, does Dong Zhuo dare to find someone casually and pretend to be a prince? No, he might really dare! He said he was absurd and directly dropped the young emperor, and even rumored that he would kill him secretly. In the end, he fled to Chang'an and almost regarded himself as the emperor.
This will certainly have countless benefits for him. The question is why he is so risky. He is clearly waiting for Yuan Shao to establish a puppet and abdicate in a few years. As a "hero of the dragon", he will naturally be granted the title of general, and high officials will be rich and prosperous...
"You guys say, who gave Dong Zhuo so much courage... It's okay to say that the military strength is good, in terms of family affairs and background, he obviously can't compare to the Yuan family... or even the Xun family or the Guo family." Liu Tao seemed to be thinking.
"The only explanation is that Dong Zhuo really believes that the prince association is real. Or in other words, he thinks that a living fake prince association is not better than a prince." Guo Jia analyzed.
Of course there is another possibility, that is, Prince Xie may really die, and then die, and then be taken over by a time traveler and came alive. Or maybe Prince Xie was a time traveler, so he really arranged a substitute for himself early...
But there are many things that are unreasonable. Liu Tao believes that Guo Jia's analysis is relatively correct. But if this is the case, then as the basis for this inference, Dong Zhuo is actually loyal to the Han Dynasty, which feels a bit unreasonable.
However, compared to Prince Xie being a time traveler or something, he would rather believe this, after all, it was too disgusting for him!
In the later generations, he saw a novel, but half of it, the protagonist became a villain, and the real protagonist was another time traveler or something... He probably would abandon the book immediately.
If possible, please don’t appear in this vulgar plot on him. Thank you... Who am I talking to?
"No matter which truth is, everything is not important anymore. Luoyang will be in chaos, and various assassinations against Dong Zhuo will begin and succeed. Then Yuan Shao will take the throne, drive the prince down, and change another person to the next level.
If it fails, then Yuan Shao will inevitably leave, give up the center of the chess game, and turn to the corners." Liu Tao analyzed.
In fact, it is not an analysis. After all, Yuan Shao really assassinated Dong Zhuo, but failed and finally fled to the Bohai side. Dong Zhuo not only did not hold him accountable, but also used Liu Xie's hand to grant Yuan Shao the title of Bohai prefect. In other words, even if he didn't have a title, it would be meaningless. Perhaps Yuan Shao came there and raised his troops to publicly express his ruling ruling, which was quite passive.
On the other hand, it is morally unreasonable to appoint him as the prefect of Bohai and raise another army. After all, on the one hand, he occupies Bohai and is a prefect who is a well-known prefect, and on the other hand, he wants to send troops to clear the emperor's side... It is really hypocritical.
From this perspective, Dong Zhuo took the initiative to signify Yuan Shao as the prefect of Bohai, which was obviously more clever.
After Yuan Shao, Cao Cao tried it. After failure, he immediately went out and finally raised troops in Chenliu... However, on this escape, he obviously could not meet Chen Gong.
"Is there any news about Ma Teng in recent times?" Liu Tao asked immediately.
"Some time ago, Ma Teng wrote a letter saying that he had just annexed Han Sui's remnants and was following our instructions to keep good friends with the Qiang tribes and seize Jincheng County. He looked for opportunities to become the actual controller of Liangzhou. In addition, he relied on the trade routes we opened to deliver 300 Xiliang war horses!" Xun Yu said quickly when he heard this.
"It seems that there is no update yet, or he has not received the news yet..." Liu Tao nodded, "But he shouldn't believe the nonsense that the prince association has a substitute. Or, it would be better if he doesn't believe it in terms of interest demands."
In this way, he would realize that Liu Tao's three-in-one Yan Han might be really possible. In a sense, the current situation of the Han Han can be described as "the Han lost his deer, and the whole world will chase each other." Those with some vision may have already begun to prepare early.
As for whom to support him will be the emperor, no one will be so stupid as to come and be a puppet.
Just like in history, Yuan Shao planned to support Liu Yu as the new king, but Liu Yu flatly rejected this.
"Writing a letter to Ma Teng doesn't require too many words, just the four words 'Sanxing Yanhan'." Liu Tao immediately ordered. Xun Yu nodded and then went to make arrangements immediately.
Huangfu Song came back, and the fifth school of the Northern Army came back to the third school, but in the two schools in Luoyang, one school was taken away by Liu Ge. The other school was led by Ding Yuan. Judging from the current situation, the possibility of Dong Zhuo annexing the Ding Yuan tribe is still very high.
But without Lu Bu's participation, it seems that Lu Bu's three surnames' slaves can't be treated as...
Having said that, it is also a way to describe the Romance. In the official history, Lu Bu was only under Ding Yuan's command. Ding Yuan was the governor of Bingzhou at that time, but Dong Zhuo was the governor of Bingzhou. The governor of the state ordered the killing of the governor, and he also promised to be a high-ranking official and generous salary, but Lu Bu could not refuse it.
Of course, he did not recognize Ding Yuan as his father, and he did not follow Dong Zhuo as his father, and naturally there was no saying that the three surnames slaves were slaves. However, because he was jealous, he turned against Dong Zhuo and killed him. Lu Bu's name of "unfaithfulness" was still unsatisfied.
It’s a pity that under my command, Lu Bu probably doesn’t have the chance to turn against him. In fact, isn’t this good? At least, he can be a ‘loyal minister’ for the rest of his life.
"Fengxiao, what do you think the future will be?" Liu Tao looked at Guo Jia.
"The lord has a high opinion, so I will listen carefully." Guo Jia smiled and did not respond. He saw that Liu Tao had something to say, just wait for him to finish speaking first, and then explain his own point of view, in his admiration, so as to satisfy his vanity.
"You are not likable like this..." Liu Tao did plan to pretend to be B, but Guo Jia saw through it. He paused and continued, "Give me instructions, all the troops to practice well. Maybe this year or next year, we will go south to challenge Dong!"
Judging from the current situation, it seems that the princes will still appear when they are despised by Dong...
