Overlord!

Today, Liu Zhang's situation is already like this.

Sun Ce then directly said to Zhang Su: "Heroes are fighting together, and two heroes are at each other's throats. At this moment, it is the time for Liu Zhang to make a decision. If he wants to make a difference, he can take advantage of his disadvantages; if not, he will definitely choose his place. Follow. However, Liu Bang has hundreds of thousands of people, sitting and watching. I see a virtuous man but can't help him, and I ask for peace but can't. These two grievances will be gathered into one body."

"When Gu defeats Cao Cao, and then declares his troops to attack Sichuan and Shu, how can he resist him?"

Regarding Liu Zhang's actions, Sun Ce could only say that he was completely defeated by his heart and tolerance.

As a prince in troubled times, he never thought about establishing a hegemony, nor did he have the ambition to unify the world.

All he thinks about is how to protect himself, and he has decided to surrender to a powerful prince in the world.

Zhang Su also confirmed this statement, and he immediately said: "We know very well that the Duke of Song's king's army can only conquer but not fight. Therefore, it is General Liu's plan to persuade him to move the state to attach himself to Duke Song. Duke Song will respect the general's virtue and enjoy long-term blessings. Zuo, let’s have an heir, this is a perfect strategy.”

"General Liu originally wanted to return to the country, but he has sealed off all his treasury to wait for the Duke of Song Dynasty."

After hearing this, Sun Ce nodded slightly. The treasure warehouse belongs to the country.

If he, Liu Zhang, had not embezzled the treasury's finances, but had sealed everything in the treasury and waited for the officials of the Song Dynasty to come and take inventory, that would be considered a small achievement.

The continuous wars caused the Song Dynasty to have insufficient wealth. Although it was not like in the early Han Dynasty when the emperor could not have a pure emperor, it was still a reality that the wealth was not abundant.

Being able to capture Yizhou without any bloodshed and gain access to Yizhou's treasury was definitely a very beneficial thing for the Song Dynasty's finances.

So Sun Ce said: "Yes, I will send someone to comfort General Liu. He has moved to Jiankang, and I will treat him with courtesy."

In this situation, it was completely impossible for Liu Zhang to have the treatment that Du Ji received.

Sun Ce was willing to treat him politely because he didn't want to start another war and lead to the loss of life.

Zhang Su also knew that he could not ask for more. If he delayed it any longer, Liu Bei would invade Yizhou!

By then, they will have no room for further reduction.

So Zhang Su hurriedly said: "In this case, the Duke of Song's army is requested to enter Sichuan and Shu as soon as possible to prevent Liu Bei from taking advantage of the sealing of the treasury."

"Liu Bei?" Sun Ce said calmly: "Don't worry, I have made arrangements for him."

Zhang Su did not dare to ask any more questions about Liu Bei's arrangements. The fact that he could preserve his property in Yizhou was the best he could achieve at the moment.

As for the arrangements for Liu Bei, Sun Ce really wasn't bluffing.

However, Sun Ce's arrangements for all this were not directly aimed at Liu Bei.

And all this was reflected in the palace of Luoyang, the great Han Dynasty.

After General Zhu Zhi of the Song Army took up the post of Guang Luxun, even General Huben Zhonglang had been replaced as a minister under Sun Ce.

General Huben Zhonglang was a minister commanded by Guang Luxun. It was precisely because Yuan Shu and Yuan Shao controlled the Huben army that they were able to enter the palace and trample the majesty of the emperor under their feet.

The person who now serves as Huben Zhonglang is Sun Ce's trusted general Dong Xi.

Although this Jiang Biaohu minister was tall and tall, he was actually very outstanding in strategy and politics, and was by no means a reckless man.

After receiving Sun Ce's order, he led his troops and stood in front of the emperor Liu Xie's couch with a solemn expression.

At this time, Liu Xie's face was livid, and his tone did not soften at all: "Sun Ce asked me to go to Jiankang to meet him?"

"Let me go to Jiankang?!"

"This world still belongs to the Han Dynasty! I am still the emperor of the Han Dynasty. I am the emperor, he is just a minister of the Han Dynasty."

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, Your Majesty, there is no reason for you to see your ministers!"

Although his face was broken, Dong Xi still kept calm and said expressionlessly: "Your Majesty, please don't embarrass me."

Don't make things difficult for them!

Liu Xie clenched his fists angrily and said, "It is Sun Ce who is making things difficult for you! If I don't agree, will you still kidnap me to Jiankang?"

Dong Xi's face was grim, but he did not deny it. He only said again without emotion: "Your Majesty, please don't embarrass me."

Liu Xie's face turned pale instantly, and he understood the implication of Dong Xi's words.

This was his notice, not a request.

Regardless of whether Liu Xie agrees or not, he will be sent to Jiankang to meet Sun Ce.

At this moment, Liu Xie suddenly thought of the scene when his imperial brother was deposed many years ago.

The emperor was alone in the court, facing all the officials, but no one was willing to die for him. Yuan Wei untied the emperor's seal and ribbon, then helped him go down to the palace and proclaimed himself a minister from the north.

The Queen Mother was in tears, the ministers were filled with sorrow, and no one dared to speak.

Although the emperor was a noble person, he was completely alone at that time!

No one in the civil and military dynasties or in the world could speak out for him.

The emperor's seal was taken away by his ministers, and he had to kneel down in humiliation to proclaim himself a minister.

If Liu Xie refused to agree with what Dong Xi said at this moment, these officials would dare to offend him and force him to be taken to Jiankang.

Liu Xie looked at the empty palace. The attendants and officials in the palace lowered their heads in fear and did not dare to say a word.

All the Han ministers who had criticized Sun Ce angrily and accused him of lacking courtesy had all been slaughtered.

Ever since Zhu Zhi took office as Guang Luxun, he has been very clear about what his responsibilities are. Song Gong specially reserved his identity as a Hanchen for him, so he had to take on the responsibility of clearing obstacles for Song Gong. He entered Luoyang for dozens of days and had killed hundreds of ministers and officials.

At this time, who among the survivors dares to defy its power? If you say anything more at this time, you will die in vain. Even if he was beheaded, he would still be one of the most famous people in history, leaving no trace at all.

Seeing this cold scene, Liu Xie only felt humiliated, and with tears in his eyes, he asked: "Why does Sun Ce want me to go to Jiankang? Doesn't he just want to usurp the throne? I can just issue an edict to abdicate!"

"If he is still not satisfied, I will ask San Gong to abdicate. This is enough to satisfy his need to usurp the throne. Why must I go to Jiankang?"

Seeing that Liu Xie's attitude had softened, Dong Xi's cold expression dissipated slightly and he said calmly: "Your Majesty may be too pessimistic. As your Majesty said, if you just abdicate, your Majesty does not need to personally come forward."

"It may be a good thing for Your Majesty that Duke Song meets with you in person."

Hearing what Dong Xi said, Liu Xie's humiliation was slightly relieved. It was already a normal thing for him to have the emperor spread Yue and go into exile.

When Sun Ce entered Luoyang, although he was placed under house arrest, at least he was treated with all the courtesy he deserved.

Judging from the current situation, Sun Ce should not go on a killing spree.

He is already the favorite of the people from all over the world. Civil and military officers, generals, aristocratic families, and heroes from all over the world are all inclined towards him ascending the throne and proclaiming himself emperor. There is really no need for him to kill all the Han Dynasty. After several hopes of ZTE and several collapses, Liu Xie's ambitions have somewhat faded.

Now he just wanted to have a safe ending, so in the end he had to say lonelyly: "I agreed, when will we set off?"

Dong Xi immediately handed over his hand and replied: "The sea is now at peace, and there are fewer tigers, leopards, and green forests on the road. We can travel lightly and have peace of mind. We can set off immediately."

The emperor murmured: "The sea is gradually leveling off, and there are no tigers, leopards or wolves on the road anymore?"

The situation where heroes once gathered their armies and gathered people for personal gain has gradually disappeared?

No wonder people all over the world turned their backs on the Han and turned to the Song Dynasty.

Everything was as Dong Xi said. The emperor did not bring many ceremonial guards on this trip. Only three thousand elite infantry and cavalry of the Song Army escorted him all the way. It only took more than a month for the emperor to arrive at Sun Ce's Zhaoming Palace in Jiankang.

In September, Jiankang City is fragrant with osmanthus and the city is filled with silk flowers.

The prosperity and stability here are far from comparable to Luoyang.

The emperor looked at the smiles on the faces of the people, and felt more and more lonely.

How many of these people in the south of the Yangtze River would be angry because the emperor of the Han Dynasty was covered in dust?

But before the emperor could take a closer look on the long street, the Embroidered Guards quickly escorted the emperor's carriage into the Zhaoming Palace.

The moment Sun Ce saw Liu Xie in person, he was in a daze. The most profound impression he gave people was that he was young, even young, and the hesitation and helplessness it brought.

But when he actually saw Liu Xie with his own eyes, Sun Ce discovered that he was not quite the same as the miserable young emperor in his impression. He had been weak for many years, had a carefully groomed beard at the corners of his mouth, and was not weak in body. On the contrary, because of his The food is good, and the majestic appearance of the Han nation is generous and heroic.

This made Sun Ce more certain about his plan, so after Sun Ce asked the female official to invite the emperor to the table, he asked: "Your majesty, can you usually practice literature and martial arts?"

At present, Sun Ce's attitude towards the emperor was not very respectful, and even the two of them sat equally opposite each other.

Sun Ce was already very polite without saying "Why did your Majesty rebel?" and it was impossible for him to kneel down and salute him.

After actually meeting Sun Ce, Liu Xie's attitude became much more pleasant.

After all, this prince can really decide the fate of his emperor with just one word.

Whether the entire clan will be wiped out or whether they will enjoy their old age is all in his mind.

Liu Xie thought that Sun Ce was testing him, so he immediately replied: "I was born in a deep palace and grew up in the hands of women. I have been pampered and raised for a long time, but I really can't bear the hardships and can't persist in practicing literature and martial arts. It will be enough to be a happy man from now on."

An Le Gong.

Sun Ce smiled and said: "Your Majesty is just a weak man. How can you sit back and enjoy peace and quiet when you are determined to forge ahead?"

Liu Xie quickly declined and said: "With Song Gongyun in charge of this world, it will bring happiness to the people of the world. I...I..."

Sun Ce raised his hand, interrupted the emperor's speech, and said: "Your Majesty, please be at ease. I am not trying to test you. I just think that the Han Dynasty has been established for four hundred years and should not be cut off. The character of the Han Dynasty for four hundred years should continue to be passed down."

Liu Xiegui was the emperor. Although he was interrupted by Sun Ce, he still did not dare to get angry. He had to sit on the table and looked at Sun Ce nervously and asked: "Song Gong is the master of all this. What did Song Gong mean?"

Sun Ce clapped his hands, and the female officials immediately carried a huge map into the palace. The huge map covered the four seas and far away places. The vermilion territory of the Han Dynasty is in the center, while the gray territory on all sides is vast.

Sun Ce said: "I invited Your Majesty to come to Jiankang alone just to have a frank talk with Your Majesty about this matter."

Liu Xie's expression changed slightly, and he finally understood why Sun Ce invited him to Jiankang despite his reputation. Perhaps as Dong Xi said, his trip to Jiankang would leave an important turning point for the Han Dynasty.

At least one thing is certain, Liu's wealth and life are safe.

Liu Xie immediately said: "I am all ears and willing to hear what Duke Song has to say."

Sun Ce stood up, walked to the map, and said: "In the past, King Wu defeated Zhou and eliminated violence in the world without harming the rest of the world. He sealed the Weizi in the Song Dynasty and the Jizi in the Joseon Dynasty."

"I have taken the Song Dynasty as my title, and I should not let the virtues of the sages become dusty. Now I will continue the actions of the sages."

"In the past, Jizi led five thousand Chinese people into Korea. King Wu granted him a title and moved his capital to Pyongyang. Jizi taught etiquette, righteousness, and farming silkworms, and also formulated eight teachings. He then used the etiquette of the Central Plains to educate foreign countries."

"The Han Dynasty has a pioneering spirit and a heroic spirit. In the past, our ancestors entered Sichuan in the west, and even built the country for 400 years with a long road. Therefore, it is clear that the Han Dynasty is not suitable for extinction in the Central Plains. I want to make Your Majesty also lead 5,000 people to educate foreign countries. .”

Liu Xie finally felt at ease. Song Gong's words meant that he no longer had to worry about his life, and even the Han Dynasty and the ancestral temple would not be cut off.

Liu Xienai breathed a sigh of relief and asked, "Where does the Duke of Song want the Han Dynasty survivors to go?"

Sun Ce's arrangement for the Han Dynasty was slightly different from that of Cao Wei. Instead of allocating a county to the Han Dynasty and letting them inherit the country, it was better to let them go out of the Central Plains, expand outward, and spread the Han civilization.

Just like Jizi Korea, the northeastern part of the empire was included in the Central Plains civilization circle, and Central Plains culture and etiquette were promoted to the local area.

So Sun Ce continued: "There are two places for you to go. Your Majesty can make your own decision. One is to go to the Western Region and cross the Western Region. The local water and grass are rich and the climate is mild, enough to support tens of millions of people. In the past, Panchao quelled the civil strife in the Western Region. To resist powerful enemies externally, the government should be tolerant and simple, the officials and soldiers should be united, and the hearts of the people will follow, and the prestige is extremely high. If your majesty is ambitious and can dominate the Western Regions, his soldiers and civilians may not be weaker than those in the Central Plains."

Hearing Sun Ce's words, Liu Xie was slightly moved, especially the number of tens of millions! Liu Xie's heart was moved.

You must know that in the Han Dynasty, the number of people managed was only tens of millions.

If he can rule tens of millions more people in the Western Regions, it means that the Han Dynasty has never been exhausted, but has only transferred its territory to the West.

If tens of millions of Han people can be governed again, then how can the West not be a rejuvenated Han Dynasty?

The spirits of the great ancestors and ancestors in heaven can also be a little comfort.

And this, visual inspection is also very feasible.

In the impression of the Han family, the Western Regions have always been weak in military affairs.

Therefore, just a few hundred people in Banchao can roam the area.

If Liu Xie, as the emperor, led the remnants of the Han Dynasty to the west and united five thousand people to death, at least several small countries could be destroyed.

This was enough for the Han Dynasty to stabilize its foundation locally and even reopen the Silk Road.

If there are remnants of the Han Dynasty who can spread the customs of the Xia Dynasty, they can farm, produce and sell porcelain in the local area.

This can at least ensure that the Han Dynasty and the country will not be completely cut off in the hands of Liu Xie.

However, the emperor did not rush to make a decision, but asked cautiously: "Where is the other place that Song Gong pointed out?"

Liu Xie still planned to weigh it before making a choice after listening. (End of chapter)
