Chapter 382 Liu Yu proclaims himself emperor and Youji mutiny
Luoyang.
Yuan Shu looked at Wei Gong, who was neither humble nor arrogant, with a gloomy look on his face, his eyebrows uncertain.
Emiya clasped his hands behind his back, as if he were the real master of this place, leisurely looking at everyone in the hall.
"If I don't let him go, how will you treat him?"
Yuan Shu did not dare to have an attack and could not have an attack. Facing the Wei family, all the confidence in his heart had no effect at all.
Wei Gong said with a smile: "If you don't let me go, I won't let you go. Wei is just going back to recover."
Yuan Shu's eyes twitched, everyone in Hongdu School was a talented person, and he would not be willing to hand it over to Wei easily.
However, in the face of Emiya's "aggressive" arrogance, he couldn't bear to say "no".
Just be afraid, as soon as he refused, Wei's Longshan Army would come over.
Yuan Shu was someone who had seen the power of the Longshan Army, and he was extremely sure that he was no match for the Wei family now.
But Yuan Shu was really unwilling to let the Wei family acquire so many talented people so easily.
So, he procrastinated for several days, trying to get Wei Gong to relent and offer something practical in exchange, such as Liu Xie who was rescued by the Wei family.
Now, although he is holding the imperial seal, he is suffering from the fact that no one will inherit the throne. If this continues, those who have just attached to him may soon fall apart, which is what he does not want to see.
"Damn Uncle Wei Wen, if I say I won't let him go, won't you make any conditions?"
Seeing that Wei Gong was in trouble, Yuan Shu was too embarrassed to take the initiative to bring it up. He was as anxious as an ant on a hot pot.
The hall suddenly fell into silence.
There was a slight smile on the corner of Wei Gong's mouth. How could he not know what Yuan Shu was planning, but he just didn't mention it. Although the people from Hongdu Sect were important, the young emperor Liu Xie couldn't let him go either, otherwise Yuan Shu would be the next one.
He Jin, Dong Zhuo.
Just then.
"Report..."
"Why are you so nervous?"
Yuan Shu scolded.
The general raised his head and glanced at Yuan Shu, then at Wei Gong, clasped his fists and said: "Jizhou Mu Han Fu, with 30,000 troops, has crossed Hulao Pass and is heading towards Luojing."
Yuan Shu's face darkened, Han Fu was not staying in Jizhou, why would he come to join in the fun at this time?
Without waiting for Yuan Shu to speak, the general said: "After the army, there is also a light cavalry of about 5,000 people. The leader is Liu Yu, the shepherd of Youzhou. This is the invitation sent by Liu Shijun in advance.
.”
When he came to present the post with both hands, Yuan Shu was overjoyed when he heard this.
Liu Yu is also a clan member of the Han Dynasty. If...
Yuan Shu's expression did not escape Wei Gong's attention, especially when he heard the word "Liu Yu", a look of triumph flashed in his eyes, as if he had suddenly found a way out.
Wei Gong raised the corners of his mouth, cupped his hands and said, "Since the general has a distinguished guest, Wei will leave first."
A look of pride appeared on Yuan Shu's face, he glanced at Wei Gong, waved his hand indifferently, "Go slowly and don't see me off."
Emiya smiled calmly and backed away.
Watching his leaving figure, the smile on Yuan Shu's face instantly disappeared, replaced by a hint of sinisterness.

Luoyang, Chengdong Posthouse.
Wei Gong walked in with several secret guards, and met a young man who described himself as bleak.
"Bofu, are you just getting up?" Wei Gong frowned.
The young man is Sun Ce, the young overlord of Jiangdong who lost his father.
Seeing Wei Gong, Sun Ce's dull eyes finally had a glimmer of light, he cupped his fists and said in greeting: "Good morning, Brother Wei."
The boy in the post house who was sweeping the floor next to him couldn't help but look up at the sun that was already setting in the west...
Wei Gong shook his head with a look of pity. He was once such a high-spirited person, but now he has become so depressed. It is really sad.
"Bo Fu, where are you going?"
Sun Ce scratched his tangled hair like a chicken coop, yawned and said, "The inn has no wine to sell. I'll go outside and buy a bottle."
Wei Gong sighed helplessly, signaled to the secret guard on the side, and said: "Give Brother Sun a bottle of good wine."
The secret guard nodded slightly, glanced at Sun Ce, and walked straight into the house.
When Sun Ce saw this, he grinned and hurriedly followed. Compared to the dirty wine sold outside, Wei's fine wine was of course better.
Inside the post house.
Wei Gong looked at Sun Ce who was sitting directly on the ground, frowned and said: "Bo Fu, tomorrow we will set off to return to Hedong County. I have already accomplished what I promised you before. Your family has been safely sent to Wu County."
Upon hearing this, Sun Ce raised his cloudy eyes and nodded gratefully towards Wei Gong.
Seeing that he was so depressed, Wei Gong didn't bother to persuade him to cheer up. He didn't know how many things he had to say during this trip.
"What about you, what are your plans next?" Emiya finally asked.
Sun Ce's expression changed. After being silent for a while, he said in a deep voice: "Brother Wei has helped me a lot. Logically speaking, I should have gone north with you and tried my best with this broken body. However, the revenge for killing my father cannot be carried out."
We live together, I..."
Wei Gong stretched out his hand to interrupt him, nodded and said: "That's fine, since you want to stay in Luoyang, then Wei has nothing to say, but again, if you have no hope of revenge and want to come to my Wei family again, I'm sorry, I forgive you.
I, the Wei family, have no connection with you."
A trace of struggle flashed in Sun Ce's eyes. He understood what Wei Gong meant. The Wei family is not a place you can just come to if you want.
However, now that the revenge for killing his father has not been avenged, Sun Ce really cannot accept the olive branch offered by the Wei family.
When Wei Gong saw that he didn't speak, he felt helpless. He could only go back and report the truth to Wei Cheng. He had tried his best to recruit him.

Two days later.
Hedong, Anyi.
In the study room in the East Garden of Wei Mansion, several children were reciting the multiplication table loudly.
Wei Cheng sat aside and sorted out the dried herbs while correcting the pronunciation problems of several children.
Queen Guo and Lianshi Bu are worthy of being girls from aristocratic families. Compared with them, Aning and Niu Niu are obviously a bit more stupid.
It's not that their IQs can't keep up, it's that the two girls tend to lose focus from time to time and are easily distracted by things around them.
"An Ning, why are you always looking at the door when it's okay?" Wei Cheng finally couldn't bear it anymore and scolded her in a low voice.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! An Ning was startled by Wei Cheng, spit out her sweet tongue, and hurriedly followed Queen Guo next to her to read aloud.
After a stick of incense.
Wei Cheng stood up and said, "Okay, that's it for today's morning class. Let's go back and wash our hands and prepare for dinner."
"Oh!" Aning jumped up first and dropped the books in his hands.
Wei Cheng coughed slightly when he saw this.
When Aning came back to his senses, he discovered that Queen Guo and Master Bu were sorting out books and cushions, and hurriedly followed suit.
Wei Cheng shook his head speechlessly and walked out of the study first.
In the yard, Cai Yan and his daughters were playing with Dabao and Erbao. I think this was the reason why Aning was distracted just now.
When Hao Niang saw that the morning class was over, she hurriedly asked Aunt Niu to prepare the meal.
Cai Yan and Zhong Chan were holding a child each, and planned to take it to the house first and leave it to the little maid to take care of.
Seeing this, Wei Cheng said softly: "Yan'er, you have just finished your confinement. You should get more sunshine. Just ask Aunt Niu to take out the things. Let's have dinner in the yard today."
After hearing this, Cai Yan sat back down with Dabao in her arms. The summer morning sun was still very warm. After lying in the house for a month, she really wanted to get some fresh air outside.
Just as he was talking, Emiya walked in from the courtyard entrance carrying two small packages.
"Second brother, second sister-in-law."
Wei Cheng looked back and couldn't help but laugh, "Did you just come back?"
Emiya bowed to the two of them and responded with a smile: "Yes, come and see my two little nephews as soon as you get back."
Cai Yan also smiled and said: "Uncle, I will be away for a long time this time."
Wei Gong was angry and tried his best to speak angrily towards Wei Cheng, and said: "Second sister-in-law is right, please help me tell my second brother, why did he give me so many tasks for nothing, causing me to miss the birthdays of my two nephews?
...Oh, these are Dabao and Erbao."
Wei Gong handed the package to the maid aside and said: "These are some common gadgets in Luoyang. They have been boiled with hot water and given to the children to play with."
Then they circled around Dabao and Erbao with smiles on their faces, one touching their little noses, the other holding their little hands, it was so intimate.
Wei Cheng and Cai Yan looked at each other and smiled. Aunt Niu and the others just happened to bring food over, and everyone had breakfast in the yard.
"Uncle Wen, will this trip south go smoothly?" Wei Cheng asked casually while eating.
Wei Gong took a sip of noodles and said with a wry smile: "Second brother, you can't wait until I'm full."
Wei Cheng chuckled.
Wei Gong picked up a handkerchief and wiped his mouth, shook his head and said, "Everything else is fine, except for Sun Bofu, I couldn't recruit it for you."
Wei Cheng's expression changed.
Wei Gong hurriedly explained: "He still wants to stay in Luoyang to find a place to avenge his father. Now the situation in Luoyang is a bit chaotic. Before I came back, Liu Bei and Liu Biao returned to Jingzhou. It seems that they got some benefits from Yuan Shu. I have asked
The secret guards went to investigate, and Han Fu and Liu Yu suddenly appeared in Luoyang. I'm afraid..."
Wei Cheng raised his hand, knowing that the next topic was not suitable to talk about at home.
Wei Gong nodded slightly and continued to eat noodles with his head down.

City North Guards Station.
Wei Cheng sat upright. Downstairs was Wei Gong, who had just returned, as well as Wei Min, Tian Feng and others.
"This is the news just sent from Luoyang. Please take a look, sir." Tian Feng presented a post with both hands.
After Wei Cheng took it, he took a casual look, nodded and said, "It's interesting, you should take a look too."
Wei Min and Wei Gong looked at each other. After seeing each other, their expressions changed drastically.
Wei Gong said solemnly: "I knew that Yuan Shu was still evil. He had hinted me several times before to exchange King Chen Liu for Hongmen students, but I silently refused. Later, when he heard that Liu Yu was going south, his attitude immediately changed."
Wei Min frowned and said, "Liu Yu is also confused. If he steps forward at this time, wouldn't he be afraid of becoming the next Spirit Emperor?"
Tian Feng said: "That's not the case. Liu Yu is a well-established and generous man who has won the hearts of the people. He also has some prestige among the nobles of the aristocratic family. He is also a legitimate clan member of the Han Dynasty. At this time, he stood up and
He was just ordered in a critical situation, didn't you see, he said that as long as King Chenliu returns to the capital, he will abdicate immediately."
"This is forcing us to send King Chenliu back." Wei Gong sneered.
Wei Cheng, who was at the head, had a calm face and listened to the analysis of the three people without interrupting. There was always a faint smile on his face.
In fact, he was also quite confused.
Historically, Yuan Shao did recommend Liu Yu to be emperor, but Liu Yu refused. What will happen now?
After thinking about it, I can only blame myself for the problem. I blame myself for leaving King Chen Liu in Hedong and giving Liu Yu a reason and excuse to proclaim himself emperor.
As for the idea of abdicating the throne in favor of someone worthy of being sent back to King Chenliu, just listen to it. King Chenliu is only an eight or nine-year-old boy. If he is really sent back, he will not be a puppet emperor.
The most important thing to explore right now is why Han Fu and Liu Yu went south at this juncture and even got together with Yuan Shu.
In this way, another three days passed.
The secret guards stationed in Jizhou and Youzhou finally delivered the answer Wei Cheng wanted.
In the meeting hall of the Wei Institute, everyone looked at each other.
Wei Min frowned and said, "I didn't expect that Yuan Shao and Gongsun Zan were the culprits. If they hadn't forced Liu Yu and Han Fu to have no other choice, they probably wouldn't have gone south to join forces with Yuan Shu."
Yes, the inertia of history continues. A few days ago, Gongsun Zan and Yuan Shao unilaterally announced that they would go it alone. It is estimated that Liu Yu and Han Fu had received the news long ago, so they fled to Luoyang in advance with their own troops.
Wei Cheng looked helplessly at the information in his hand, "After all, this dispute is inevitable."
If things continue like this, war may break out again in the near future. The situation that has finally been settled internally may not last for a few months before it becomes chaotic again.
While Wei Cheng lowered his eyebrows in deep thought, Tian Feng in the audience raised his hands and said, "Sir, I have a suggestion. I don't know whether to make it or not."
Wei Cheng raised his eyes to look at him. Others were also curious about what Tian Feng had in mind.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Tian Feng stood up and walked to the Dahan Kanyu map and drew a north-south dividing line directly on it.
"Sir, please see, our people have already deployed in Xuzhou. If we can capture Yuzhou and Liangzhou, we can establish a dividing line across the Han Dynasty from east to west."
"Boundary line?" Wei Min frowned in confusion.
Wei Cheng's eyes lit up and he understood Tian Feng's intention.
Tian Feng twisted his beard and smiled and said: "Yes, the dividing line is a dividing line that no one is allowed to pass. If you want to cross this line, you can. You must pay a large customs fee, otherwise you will face our Longshan Army and Hu Po."
The military might of the army.”
Hearing this, Wei Gong said excitedly: "What a good idea. If we separate the north and the south like this, we won't worry about them having another dispute. If you want to fight, you can fight with me. I'll fight with the Wei family first. I don't think anyone will dare to mess with my Wei family, haha."
Wei Min was also overjoyed, nodded and said with a smile: "What a good idea. Liangzhou, Bingzhou, Yuzhou, and Xuzhou just connect to form a north-south dividing line. Xuzhou is easy to handle, and there is no problem in merging the states. Liangzhou and Yuzhou are left..."
"There is no problem in Liangzhou." Fifth Uncle Wei Yan stood up and said: "As long as we ask Princess Wannian and King Chenliu to write a letter, Huangfu Song will definitely cooperate with us."
Everyone looked at each other and smiled. Huangfu Song was loyal to the Han Dynasty. Although it was a bit foolish and loyal, it seemed to be an advantage at this time.
"The rest is Yuzhou. If Kong Min doesn't agree, do we still have to force him?" someone asked.
Just when everyone was frowning and thinking.
Wei Cheng, who was at the head, smiled and said: "Kong You must be seriously ill and can't bear it. It just so happens that Xun Yu is coming back. Let him lobby the aristocratic families and officials in various counties in Yuzhou. Xun Yu was born in Yingchuan, Yuzhou.
