Chapter 18

A day passed by in the blink of an eye, and the sun was setting in the blink of an eye, and Wang Yue finally returned in a hurry.

Li Xianzhong and Yang Zaixing were preparing for the fierce battle in the near future, while Liu Bian and Wang Yue sat down in the study.

Liu Bian lay on the desk and wrote names one by one on the brocade silk.

Wang Yue watched from the side. Among them were Shangshu Lu Zhi, Ding Guan, Yueqi school captain Wu Fu, school captain Wang Zifu, Zhong Ji, etc., a total of dozens of people were impressively listed.

After thinking about it, Liu Bian added a few more names, such as Huang Pusong, Zhu Jun, Wang Yun and others.These people, Liu Bian had used to check, their loyalty points are very high, presumably they are loyal subjects of the big man, so Liu Bian intends to inform these people secretly.

These ministers hold a lot of weight in the Han Dynasty. If they are willing to follow Liu Bian to the north to merge the state, then even if Dong Zhuo abolishes Liu Bian afterwards.Liu Bian's status as emperor will still be recognized by the world.On Dong Zhuo's side, the authority of the emperor on his side will also plummet.

After writing the list, Liu Bian rubbed his hands, secretly thinking that luckily he inherited Liu Bian's memory, and also inherited his calligraphy skills, otherwise things would be really difficult.

"By the way, Master Wang, what happened to your work today!"

"Two hundred soldiers have already rushed north to the Yellow River, and I think they must have reached halfway. As for Captain Di, when I went over to take out the letter from His Majesty, Captain Di was very excited and promised to cooperate with His Majesty's plan!"

"The back road is ready, now it's time to plan how to get the most benefits!" Liu Bian excitedly said.

"What benefit?" Wang Yue asked doubtfully.

"If you want to develop, territory, talents, wealth, armaments, and soldiers are all indispensable! The most important thing is talents. How can I be willing if I don't take some of the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty?" Liu Bian said in a deep voice.

"Your Majesty, what are these?" Wang Yue suddenly stared at the brocade and asked.

"Master Wang, you give my orders to these people above, and say that I will go on a tour to the north soon, and ask them if they want to come together. If they agree, then let them pack their bags in secret, keep quiet, and wait for my order!" Liu Bian pondered.

"What if they don't agree?" Wang Yue said.

"You must be prepared to do something! Even if they agree, they can't fully believe it!" Liu Bian said solemnly.

"Master Wang, you have been in Luoyang for so many years, you must have some unknown forces under your command!" Liu Bian said with a smile.

Wang Yue was stunned for a moment, then smiled wryly: "That's right, I took in an apprentice named Shi A in the early years. He has hundreds of rangers under his command, and he is fighting for justice around Luoyang! No one knows about my relationship with him."

"Well, you have to notify every minister above Mr. Wang. If they don't agree, they won't be exposed. Just in case, let Shi A lead someone to watch them!" Liu Bian said in a deep voice. .

"Yes, I'll do it now!" Wang Yue nodded and said.

Shangshu Ding is in charge of the mansion, in a study room.

Ding Guan and Xun You sat opposite each other, with a game of chess between them.

"Gongda, it seems that I was wrong. Your Majesty has not moved in the past few days!" Ding Guan shook his head and sighed while twisting a chess piece.

"No, on the contrary, you think this is the prelude to the storm. On the surface, it looks calm, but in fact it is brewing a huge wave!" Xun You said with a flash of light in his eyes.

"Oh?" How did Gongda know?
"As far as I know, His Majesty was assassinated the night before yesterday, but he was not in danger. It seems that Dong Zhuo can't wait any longer!" Xun You said solemnly.

"What?" Ding Guan was startled when he heard the words, and the chess piece in his hand fell to the ground.

"How did Gongda know? Is Your Majesty safe?" Ding Guan asked hurriedly.

"Your Majesty is fine. I bribed a servant in the palace. He told me that the night before yesterday, there was a lot of shouting and killing in His Majesty's hall, and it was quiet after midnight!" Xun You said leisurely.

Since ancient times, it is not uncommon for courtiers to bribe people in the palace. They are only used to listen to the news in the palace and understand the emperor's movements so as to better figure out the emperor's mind. Therefore, the emperor turned a blind eye to such things. With one eye, Ding Guan didn't take the words too seriously.

"Dong Zhuo has already made a move, so I don't know how His Majesty should respond. The damned Dong Zhuo dared to send someone to assassinate His Majesty!" Ding Guan said angrily.

"Lord Ding, don't worry, I believe His Majesty should already be dealing with Dong Zhuo!" Xun You said solemnly.

"Xun Gongda really lives up to his reputation. He knows the world's affairs without going out, and even His Majesty's thoughts, you have guessed it!" Suddenly, a voice sounded from the corner of the study.

"Who is it?" Ding Guan stood up abruptly, looking around the study in panic.

"It's me, Wang Yue!" Wang Yue walked out of the shadows slowly.

"General Wang? Why are you here?" Ding Guan was shocked.

"Ding Guan, Xun You received the order. According to His Majesty's oral instructions, His Majesty will make a tour of the north in a few days. He ordered the two of you to accompany him." Wang Yue said in a deep voice.

"What?" Ding Guan was stunned when he heard the words.

"Ding Shangshu, Xun You, do you respect His Majesty's oral instructions!" Wang Yue said abruptly.

"Your Majesty's sages must be respected, of course, but what about the northern tour, please express it clearly!" Ding Guan said puzzledly.

"Just follow orders. Sir Wang doesn't need to ask any more questions. You will know when the time comes. Sir, pack your bags in secret at home. Don't let the wind leak. There will be news soon!" Wang Yue said with satisfaction, turning around like a ghost Like disappear again.

"Huh, Gongda, what's going on here? What's the northern tour?" Ding Guan stared blankly at Xun You and said.

"It seems that His Majesty is planning to leave Luoyang and get out of Dong Zhuo's clutches!" Xun You's eyes flashed.

"What? How can you throw away the foundation of your ancestors!" Ding Guan was shocked when he heard this.

"My lord Ding, this statement is wrong. King Goujian of Yue also tasted courage, and Gaozu also had the shame of a white horse. But who cares about these? As long as His Majesty restores the Han Dynasty in the future, all this will not be a stain, but will become a good talk!" Xun You talked eloquently. road.

"Oh, I hope His Majesty can revive the Han Dynasty, and the old man will go crazy with His Majesty in the end!" Ding Guan said with a little hope.

"Haha, I think my lord is in the prime of life, and it is time to make contributions, so what is the old man's words. Lord Shangshu, you are alone in Luoyang, and you have no preparations. Just stay at your lord's house and drink some wine!" Xun You said leisurely. road.

"By the way, save some manpower for His Majesty, don't spend it on me, a loyal minister of the Han Dynasty!" Xun You murmured, looking thoughtfully outside the hall.
