Chapter 424: Three Alliances
"The emperor ran away...Is the news true?"
Yuan Shang was so surprised that he stood up and looked at Ju Su who had hurriedly entered the account and reported it.
Ju Su nodded heavily and said, "Lord, this matter is absolutely true. Although our spies in Xudu are trapped in the city because of the lockdown, spies in other places can move freely. The emperor came out of Xudu and headed west all the way. He had experienced at least three or four passes. There are our spies in these places, so he learned about it!"
Yuan Shang hurriedly got up, circled around the tent for three or two, and then suddenly said, "Su Du has such a big thing happened, can Cao Zhi still calm down and negotiate with me here?"
Ju Su smiled bitterly and said, "I guess Cao Zhi doesn't want to waste time with his lord. But if he suddenly evacuated now, my elite soldiers and generals immediately went south. What will he resist? The emperor is important, but Xuchang's foundation is even more important to him."
"The emperor ran away, the emperor ran away..." Yuan Shang showed a helpless smile on his face: "I didn't expect such a thing to happen. This kind of thing was not as expected. Didn't Xun Yu guard Xun Yu? Why was he still plotted by the emperor? The old boy Xun Yu is getting back to life."
Zheng Ji showed joy on his face and went forward to advise, "Report to the lord! The emperor fled from Xuchang, which is a good opportunity for us! Cao Cao used the emperor to order the princes to command the world, and all the government orders were issued by him. If the lord could take the opportunity to bring the emperor into Yecheng, and with our tough strength in Hebei and Guanzhong, he would be even better than Cao Cao! Hegemony will be expected and great things will be accomplished!"
Yuan Shang lowered his head and thought quietly for a while, shook his head and laughed: "I'm afraid it's not that easy."
When Zhang Ji heard this, he was stunned: "Why?"
Yuan Shang thought for a while and said, "Guan Yu went north to Yingchuan, probably because it was related to this matter. If there was no accident, the emperor would flee to Xudu. Liu Bei must have been an insider... but I don't understand..."
Yuan Shang frowned and said, "The emperor left Xudu, but instead of going to Liu Bei's place, he ran west. What did he want to do?"
Ju Su and Pang Ji looked at each other, bowed their heads and said nothing, and seemed to be unable to understand the key.
"Because he wants to establish his own foundation, he is not relying on others."
A voice sounded at the door, and it was Sima Yi himself.
Sima Yi came to Yuan Shang, bowed and said, "Lord. As Yi expected, the emperor's nature has changed drastically after the changes of Dong Zhuo, Li Jue, and Cao Cao. In his heart, the emperor's uncle Liu Bei is now just a prince who is fighting for hegemony, and he can't trust him at all! Now, for the emperor, he can only manage the government himself, take charge of the army, take full control, and no longer rely on the power of others. This is the best way."
Yuan Shang was stunned when he heard this. He lowered his head and thought about it for a while, then suddenly laughed.
"If he wants to be Emperor Xiaowu, then he must have the ability himself. Besides, who can be his master Yan? Who can be his Wei Qing and Huo Qubing?"
Sima Yi said: "Wei Qing, Emperor Huo Qubing may not have found it at the moment, but Wen Zhi's loyal planner was probably already found it, otherwise he would never give up going to Xiangyang. Instead, he went to Sili's place."
Yuan Shang was a little doubtful and said, "The world has been divided by the princes. If the emperor wants to gain a foothold, where can he establish himself?"
Sima Yi said: "If Ruyi was wrong, the emperor might want to return to the old capital Luoyang."
Yuan Shang frowned: "Why?"
Sima Yi sighed and said, "The emperor's move is very wonderful. Luoyang's current pattern is different from the original one. It is located at the intersection of the three families, namely the lord, Cao Zhi, and Liu Bei! Whoever wants to seize the emperor will inevitably be resisted by two other families at the same time. The emperor deals with the three families, using the imperial edict to be demoted or appeased, so that the three families can restrain each other. With the power of the Han Dynasty, he recruits soldiers and horses, refuses to accept the three gates of Hangu, Sishui and Hulao. Re-establish the power of the Han Dynasty and reappears the honor of the Tian family."
Speaking of this, Sima Yi paused and added: "Sima Ju, Xu He uprising, and Chang Xi's private affairs in Shang Yao's rebellion must be unrelated to the emperor."
Yuan Shang frowned when he heard this, while Ju Su was stroking his beard and pondering.
"The emperor's plan is so wonderful. If we send troops to seize the emperor now, we will be confronted by the Cao and Liu families. This trick is very good at checking and balancing the three families!" Sima Yi sighed in a concluding manner.
Yuan Shang closed his eyes and thought for a while, then suddenly started to laugh, smiling like a spring breeze, warm and warm.
The person who doesn't know this smile will look very warm, but it will be chilling in the eyes of Sima Yi, Ju Su, and Pang Ji.
This is the smile that Yuan Shang often smiles whenever he wants to count others.
"It's really strange these days. Even the smelly salted fish of cats and dogs want to turn over. They become their own power, and they are simply dreaming."
Ju Su coughed: "Lord, you are very disrespectful to the Emperor."
Yuan Shang raised his eyebrows slightly: "I'm just talking casually. Have you called me by name? Mr. Ju is thinking too much."
Ju Su's face twitched.
Sima Yi hesitated for a moment and said, "Do you have any ideas?"
Yuan Shang smiled and said, "The emperor wanted to use the three families to restrain the three families and make the three families suspicious. He made profits from it. Yuan just did the opposite. Anyway, the emperor was never in my hands. It was the same if I had him or not. I would find a way to unite the three families and try to restrain the emperor."
Sima Yi took a deep breath after hearing this and said, "Can you, can it work?"
Yuan Shang smiled warmly and said, "It turned out that the Cao family used the emperor to command the princes. If the son could not bear the humiliation today, he ran to Luoyang. I will have Yuan, Cao and Liu families used the emperor to command the princes to command the princes. It is fair and just, and no one can take advantage of anyone."

*********************************************
Sili Dongjing, Cao Chong, Yuan Mai and Deng Ai were in charge.
"Wuwuwu..." Cao Chong squatted on the ground, wiped his tears hard, and cried loudly.
Yuan Mai sighed helplessly, stepped forward and patted Cao Chong's shoulder and said, "Okay, okay, you can almost cry. Anyway, this jade seal is not yours, so how can you feel sorry for?"
Cao Chong shook his shoulders hard and said angrily: "It's true that you don't feel sorry for the emperor's seal! It's been passed down for many years, and it's destroyed in my hands today. If this is spread, I will be infamous for thousands of years, wuwuwu..."
Yuan Mai sighed helplessly and turned to look at Deng Ai.
Deng Ai stepped forward and persuaded, "Brother Cao Chong, old, the old ones will not go to the new ones-new ones will not come, the festival will be sad."
Yuan Mai stepped forward quickly and said, "That's it, I'll introduce you to a few high-quality powdered hair and oily daisies tomorrow to relieve boredom."
Cao Chong shook his shoulder hard and said angrily: "Is there anyone who persuades people like this? I am not like someone who has lost love and lacks a woman! I am crying for the national treasure!"
“…………”
Deng Ai scratched his head in distress, then turned his eyes and persuaded him: "Forget it - forget it, it will be broken, it will be broken, it will be rushed to chase the emperor as soon as possible. It is important to chase the emperor! Don't lose the jade, the jade seal, and the heaven again - the emperor, isn't that a pity?"
Cao Chong glared at them hatefully and said, "You two are here to disrupt us, and the jade seal is broken for me. I'm still robbing the gods!"
Deng Ai smiled and said, "Then, we won't disturb you - let's disturb you, help, help, help you to steal the emperor! How about it?"
After saying that, he gently squeezed at Yuan Mai.
Yuan Mai felt it and hurriedly said, "It's not bad. The jade seal was broken. It's not ours. The emperor gave it to you. This is OK."
Cao Chong stopped crying when he heard this and raised his head: "You two... are you saying the truth?"
The two boys nodded in a hurry.
Cao Chong sniffed, stood up, and said with red eyes: "Keep your word."
"Sure enough!"
The generals and soldiers on both sides were stunned.
What's this called? I just chased and robbed him, but after a while, I'll give up and make peace?
What a child's character!
Yan Yuanwentu caught Deng Ai and Yuan Mai. Yan Yuan thought for a while and whispered: "Two young masters, please forgive me for saying frankly. If we don't go to rob the emperor with Cao Chong, we will give him a great face. How can we agree to help him seize the horse? If the lord knows about this, I'm afraid..."
Deng Ai shook his head and said, "Statements are all strategies - strategies!"
Yan Yuan was stunned when he heard this.
Yuan Mai said, "It will be impossible to fight between the two sides. Although I don't know how the emperor ran out of Xudu, Yuan and Cao fought like this and let the emperor go away for nothing. It's better to join forces first and wait until the emperor is seized and then take the opportunity to kill Cao Chong!"
On the other side, Dianman Xu Yi caught Cao Chong.
Xu Yi said in a naive voice: "Lord, why bother! Those two boys are too bullying others? Why do you want them to join forces? Why would you let them get out of here? Let's chase them on your own! Can't you still take back the emperor?"
Cao Chong shook his head and said, "Do you think they are really helping me? You just want to stop the battle temporarily and take it off after you catch the emperor's car. But that's fine. If you are not in harmony, you can only let the emperor go for nothing. It's better to join forces to chase me first. After the big thing is settled, it's not too late to destroy the two bastards!"
So, the two armies pretended to join forces, Cao Chong, Yuan Mai, and Deng Ai each had their own thoughts and rushed towards the west again.
At this time, the emperor's carriage was approaching Luoyang, and the huge city wall had already appeared in everyone's eyes.
A little tears flashed in Liu Xie's eyes without realizing it, recalling the past and feeling infinitely.
Finally, I finally got back. Back then, I lost everything in Luoyang City. Now, I want to get everything back here!
Liu Xie was thinking, and suddenly heard the sound of horse hooves, but a soldier from behind slapped his horse forward and said, "Your Majesty, something is not good, the soldiers and horses from both sides of Yuan and Cao are catching up again!"
Beside Liu Xie, Xu Shu frowned and said, "Both sides catch up? How could it be two sides?"
