Chapter 253 Liu Yan: Mao'an is really a loyal minister
"Your Majesty is wise."
Dong Fu also quickly saluted and praised again.
There is always no problem in being cautious when the world is in chaos.
"Hahaha, no courtesy for you, my dear. I still have some issues that I want to discuss with my dear. Come here, go and warm two pots of fine wine. Today I want to have a good chat with Mao'an."
Liu Yan quickly helped Dong Fu up and said to the eunuch beside him.
"Your Majesty, please speak. I know that I know everything I want to say."
Dong Fu slowly stood up with the support of Liu Yan and said excitedly. Dong Fu never expected that Liu Yan would put down his body and walk down to help him after becoming the emperor.
"My dear, please sit down."
"Thank you, Your Majesty."
"My dear, I am getting old!"
Liu Yan poured a glass of wine for Dong Fu and sighed.
"What are you saying, Your Majesty? In the hearts of veterans, Your Majesty is still young."
Dong Fu replied.
"I know my own body well."
"I have four sons, Liu Fan, Liu Dan, Liu Mao and Liu Zhang."
"Ai Qing, do you think which of the four of them is suitable for the position of crown prince?"
Liu Yan asked Dong Fu.
I'd like to hear Dong Fu's opinion.
"Your Majesty, do you want to hear the truth?!"
Dong Fu looked at Liu Yan and asked.
"Of course, Dong Aiqing doesn't have to be restrained, he can say whatever he wants."
Liu Yan asked Dong Fuchang to say whatever he wanted.
The position of crown prince is no small matter, so he naturally has to listen to the truth.
Only the truth can enable him to make a clearer judgment.
"I think that the crown prince Liu Zhang can be the heir apparent!"
Dong stood up, made up his hands and said to Liu Yan.
"oh?!"
"Zhang'er?"
"Why do you love me?"
Liu Yan cheered up slightly and asked Dong Fu.
I want to know why Dong Fu chose Liu Zhang.
"The Immortal once predicted that the Crown Prince Liu Zhang will inherit His Majesty's position."
"Destiny cannot be violated!"
Dong Fu said truthfully.
He is a man who believes in heaven and destiny.
Since the immortal predicted that it was the fourth prince Liu Zhang, then this was God's will.
"Is that so?"
Liu Yan fell into deep thought after hearing this.
As for Dong Fu, he had to consider that it was because of Dong Fu that he was where he was today.
Dong Fu said that Yizhou had the spirit of a dragon, so he was proclaiming himself emperor.
"If I don't choose Zhang'er and choose from the other three, how will I choose?"
Liu Yan continued to ask.
"If Your Majesty does not choose the eldest son Liu Zhang, then I recommend the eldest son Liu Fan."
"The eldest son is the eldest son, and it is in line with etiquette and law to inherit His Majesty's position."
"The second eldest son's planning and vision for the war situation are beyond comparison with ordinary people. Even compared with His Majesty, he is only slightly inferior."
Dong Fu said flatteringly.
In his opinion, if Liu Zhan is not chosen, then the eldest son Liu Fan is the best choice.
For no other reason than because he is the eldest son.
As for strategic vision and so on.
If he really came up with the strategy to defeat the North, Liu Fan would have surpassed him in resourcefulness.
If you leave the country to him, not only will you be able to expand, but at least you will have no problem stabilizing the current situation.
"Fan'er is indeed good. Just by relying on this tactic of driving away wolves and devouring tigers, I can feel that Fan'er's tactics are not inferior to mine."
Liu Yan also poured a glass of wine for himself and Dong Fu in a lonely manner and said, perhaps only when he realizes that his child has surpassed him will his father feel that he has grown old without knowing it.
"Your Majesty, there is no need to worry. No matter how smart the eldest son is, your majesty is still his father. Compared with his eldest son, you still have a long way to go."
Dong Fu watched Liu Yan pouring wine for him and quickly took the glass and said to Liu Yan.
"My dear, you don't have to be like this. I know I don't have much time left. No matter who of the four of them takes the throne in the future, please sir, take more care of me."
Liu Yan looked at Dong Fu who was holding the wine glass in both hands and pressed down Dong Fu's hands. He took the wine glass from Dong Fu's arm and poured a full glass and placed it in front of Dong Fu.
"Your Majesty treats me like this, and I swear that as long as I am alive, I will concentrate on assisting the four young masters. If I make any false statement, people and gods will be outraged, and I will be struck with thunder!!!"
When Dong Fu saw this, he burst into tears and stood up and swore to the sky.
"I feel so relieved that I love you so much. If it weren't for your words that day, how would I be where I am now?"
Liu Biao looked at Dong Fu who swore to heaven and said with emotion.
The morning sun shone on the slightly tired faces of Liu Yan and Dong Fu the next day. It was obvious that the two had been talking for a long time all night long, but the fatigue on their faces could not conceal the joy in their hearts. At the same time, Huang Quan and Gan Ning also showed their emotions. Ten thousand elite soldiers are setting off for Jingzhou.
"Your Majesty, it's time for me to leave."
Dong Fu looked at the faint morning sun rising in the sky and then smiled at Liu Yan.
"It's indeed getting late, I'll see you off."
"Third brother, haven't the reinforcements from my father arrived yet?"
At this time, Liu Zhang, Liu Hao and Liu Dan waited for fifteen days, but there was no sign of Liu Yan's reinforcements.
"Wait a little longer. The distance between Jingzhou and Yizhou is not close, but not far. I guess the reinforcements sent by my father are on the way now. I'm afraid..."
Liu Hao seemed to have thought of something and then said with a worried look.
"What are you afraid of?"
Liu Dan looked at the worried Liu Hao and asked. Liu Dan knew that Liu Hao might be the most astute among these brothers. Now that even Liu Hao showed such an expression, he couldn't help but feel a cold sweat in his heart.
"Is it possible that the third brother suspects that the eldest brother has also sent the letter back to the father? If that is the case, that would be bad."
After Liu Hao's reminder, Liu Zhang was startled and then frowned and said to Liu Hao.
"Second brother, third brother, what do you mean?"
Liu Dan looked at the two people playing riddles and was a little confused.
"Second brother is right. Fourth brother, if you were the eldest brother, what would you write in a letter to my father now?"
Liu Hao sighed and said helplessly to Liu Dan.
"If I were the eldest brother, I would definitely show off my achievements in Jingzhou and tell my father that the situation in Jingzhou has been stabilized by me..."
Liu Dan followed Liu Hao's inspiration and thought about it carefully before speaking to Liu Hao and Liu Zhang. However, the more Liu Dan continued to talk, the uglier his face became.
"Third brother...you mean..."
"Yes, my fourth brother's thinking is correct. If the eldest brother also sends back the letter, I'm afraid my father will not send troops to reinforce Jingzhou. By then we will still be unable to control Jingzhou."
Liu Hao looked at the suddenly enlightened Liu Dan and rubbed the center of his eyebrows. Liu Hao originally thought that his trip to Jingzhou would go very smoothly, but he never thought that his good brother would stab him in the back.
"It's impossible. Based on my understanding of Big Brother, he would never have such a method."
When everyone was worried, Liu Zhang stood up and comforted the two of them.
"Having said that, the second brother has forgotten that the person behind the eldest brother is Liu Biao."
Liu Dan also looked at Liu Zhang helplessly. Liu Dan, who was originally a little transparent, seemed even more powerless when faced with the powerful alliance between his eldest brother and Liu Biao.
"Brother is short-sighted!"
Liu Hao slapped his palms on the table in annoyance. Liu Fan's back stab made Liu Hao feel very depressed.
"Third brother, it's too late to say anything now. It depends on how my father handles it."
Liu Zhang looked at the angry Liu Hao and walked up to Liu Hao, patted Liu Hao on the shoulder and said.
The battle for the crown prince started from the moment his father spoke out.
After arriving in Jingzhou, his eldest brother was the first to let go.
"Report!"
"General Huang Quan and General Gan Ning, on His Majesty's orders, led 10,000 Yizhou elite soldiers to come to support."
"The army will arrive tomorrow!"
Just as the three were discussing countermeasures, a soldier quickly ran in and reported to the three.
