Chapter 568 The Regency of the Nine Kings

"Well, I came to you to form an alliance. It's up to you. If it hadn't been for Yuan Shao's incompetence to lose to Lv Bu, how could I like to form an alliance with you? Xiahou Dun has always had no good impression of Liu Bei's power, but since everyone has no ambition, he can only temporarily form an alliance.

"You, come on, let's fight for 300 rounds." Seeing that Xiahou Dun was still arrogant, Zhang Fei suddenly became angry and rolled up his sleeves to fight with Xiahou Dun.

"Third brother, let's listen to the eldest brother." At this time, Guan Yu stood up and stood in front of Zhang Fei, stopping Zhang Fei's action.

"In the face of the great enemy, we should indeed share the same hatred. When General Xiahou stands firm in Jingzhou, we will definitely visit him." At this time, Liu Bei opened his mouth, which was unexpected by Zhang Fei. Although Xiahou Dun was extremely arrogant, Liu Bei still agreed to Xiahou Dun's proposal.

"Well, I'll leave first." With that, Xiahou Dun turned his head and was about to leave. Liu Bei behind him continued to say, "General Xiahou came all the way, but I have heard how Luoyang is now?"

It turned out that after Liu Bei learned that Xiahou Dun came from Hebei, he wanted to ask Xia Hou Dun about Luoyang, so as to make sure that he could take the best countermeasures. Compared with sending troops to Luoyang at this time, it was possible to change the fate of the Han Dynasty.

"Hey hey, does Liu Shijun want to support those old guys in Luoyang? Do you really think they can make any waves in Lv Bu's hands? Let me tell you, Lv Bu has returned to Luoyang and regained the situation in Luoyang. Hearing Liu Bei's question, Xiahou Dun said with a smile.

In fact, at that time, Xiahou Dun happened to pass by Luoyang. When he heard about the change of Luoyang, he also wanted to take advantage of the fire to rob. However, his plan was soon shattered. Because Lv Bu's speed was too fast, Luoyang's old ministers did not have time to resist and had been completely suppressed by Lv Bu.

"So it is." Hearing this, Liu Bei finally gave up on the matter of sending troops to Luoyang. He couldn't help but sigh again and looked up at the sky. The road Liu Bei has walked over the years is difficult and dangerous, and he has also dominated the situation. However, now, it only occupies a county, which makes Liu Bei often begin to suspect what he has traveled. Is the path correct? Is it that God is deliberately embarrassing himself? However, whenever he sees his two brothers and the soldiers who follow him without regrets, Liu Bei has to look confident in the future in front of them. In fact, he knew in his heart that the road in front of him had become more and more difficult.

"Liu Jijun, I'm leaving now." Seeing that Liu Bei didn't say anything more, Xiahou Dun turned around and left.

"My brother is Jin Zhi Yuye. This guy is so rude that my brother won't let me kill him. The page will leave trouble for the future." Seeing Xiahou Dun leave, Zhang Fei said unhapsly.

"Now Lv Bu is very powerful, and having such a person in Jingzhou is more or less helpful to us. Don't you think so, brother?" Liu Bei hadn't said anything, but Guan Yu, who was beside him, said. Obviously, Guan Yu felt that the advantages of leaving Xiahou Dun in Jingzhou outweighed the disadvantages.

"The second brother's words are confused. Although Jingzhou has nine counties, and the country is rich and the people are strong, it can't tolerate us and his Xiahou Dun. Leaving Xiahou Dun behind must be the disaster of Jingzhou in the future." Unlike Guan Yu's idea, although he is in Xinye, Zhang Fei has regarded the whole Jingzhou as Liu Bei's territory. If Liu Bei wants to make a fortune, sooner or later, he will take Jingzhou for himself. With the strength of Liu Bei's army, it is not difficult for such fierce generals such as Yu, Zhang Fei and Zhao Yun to do this, but now there is a Xiahou. However, it adds many variables to the situation in Jingzhou.

"Do you think we can really kill Xiahou Dun so easily? Xiahou Dun has been honed for a long time. How could he come here easily if he didn't have a backhand? Isn't he afraid that our brother will kill him? Unlike Guan Yu and Zhang Fei's thoughts, Liu Bei's ideas are more complicated. He not only sees in front of him, but also thinks of others.

"When the lord said this, I remembered one thing. Since Cao Cao's death, Zhang Liao has captured Wancheng, but Cao Ren has disappeared since then. This time, Xiahou Dun came to us to form an alliance as soon as he came to Jingzhou. Will it have anything to do with Cao Ren? Hearing Liu Bei's words, Zhao Yun frowned and seemed to think of something.

At the same time, Xiahou Dun has left Xinye City, and after Xiahou Dun left the city, many people with different clothes came out of Xinye City. They followed Xiahou Dun out of the city. When they came to a forest outside the city, Xiahou Dun was waiting there.

"I said Cao Ren, you are too bold. We just went to see Liu Bei. Why are you so mysterious and take so many brothers to ambush in the city?" Seeing the man in people's clothes behind him approaching, Xiahou Dun said angrily.

"General Xiahou misunderstood me. I'm doing this for your own good. In case Liu Bei is uneasy and starts to fight with you, we have so many brothers that we can have a care. A man dressed as a farmer behind him smiled and said to Xiahou Dun. This person is Cao Ren. It turned out that Cao Ren had been staying near Wancheng to be a mountain thief since he lost Wancheng. Because he had a close relationship with Cao Cao, he was afraid that Lv Bu would find him to settle accounts. Therefore, Cao Ren had been living an in-depth and simple life. It was not until one day when he saw Xia Hou Dun that he finally decided to come to Jingzhou with Xiahou Dun. Field.

"I don't understand. Let's form an alliance with Liu Bei. Why are you making it so complicated?" Although it has been done according to Cao Ren's plan, Xiahou Dun still doesn't understand the purpose of doing so.

"It's very simple. To let you enter Xinye alone is to test Liu Bei's feelings for us. If Liu Bei is uneasy and kind to us, then he will definitely start with you in Xinye. If he doesn't do anything to you, it means that we can still cooperate with him. Although the nine counties of Jingzhou are not small, Liu Bei is not a subordinate who has lived for a long time. He will definitely plot against Jingzhou in the future. Therefore, we must first test Liu Bei's feelings for us before we can decide what kind of position we should choose when Liu Bei plots in Jingzhou. Compared with the frankness of Xiahou Dun, Cao Ren has been thinking for a long time. Although Liu Biao is one of the most powerful princes in the world, Cao Ren, who has lived in Wancheng for a long time, understands that Liu Biao is old and his two sons are not good. In the future, the nine counties of Jingzhou will still be cheap for others. Previously, Cao Ren was optimistic about Sun Ce and thought that if Sun Ce could pass away in Liu Biao. Later, when he got Jingzhou, he had the strength to fight against Lv Bu. However, it's a pity that it didn't meet people's wishes. Sun Ce died young, leaving a smelly Sun Quan. Cao Ren still didn't pay attention to it. In addition to Sun Ce, another person who had the strength to win Jingzhou and Lv Bu was Liu Bei, so Cao Ren was eager to test Liu Bei's heart for Cao Cao's old people as soon as he came to Jingzhou. In order to take the most favorable strategy in future actions.

"Listen to your tone, do you want to go to Liu Bei? If so, we can go directly to our hearts. Why do we need to go to Jingzhou to find Liu Biao? After saying so much, Xiahou Dun naturally understood Cao Ren's thoughts. For this kind of intrigue, Xiahou Dun had long known that he was not as good as Cao Ren, and he did not want to think too much. He just asked Cao Ren.

"Liu Bei now has about Yu Zhang Fei and Zhao Yun. You and I have only added two generals. They have not made much contribution to Liu Bei. How can Liu Bei care about us? What's more, Xinye is just a small place, and there is nothing to do when we go there. It's better to go directly to Liu Biao. According to your and my statement, if Liu Biao uses you, I will at least give a Taishou or a general or something. When I have a foothold in Jingzhou and have strength in my hands, Liu Bei will naturally come to us. At that time, our value will be different from today. It is impossible for Liu Bei not to pay attention to it. I don't know how much better this is than staying under Liu Bei guarding the gate. Cao Ren said directly about Xiahou Dun's question.

"That's true. The place in Xinye is indeed a little poor." Xiahou Dun nodded, but then said again, "Why do we always work for others? Didn't you think about doing it alone with me?"

"Well, a man can't stay under others for a long time, but I'm afraid it's not so easy to do it alone. How was my lord Cao Cao in those years? What a great talent? Wasn't it still defeated by Lv Bu? How about Yuan Shao in Hebei? He was a famous soldier and strong, but he was also easily taken down by Lv Bu. Do you think we can fight against Lv Bu by doing it alone? Cao Ren could only sigh helplessly about the question raised by Xiahou Dun. Obviously, Cao Ren had already thought about this matter.

"Can Liu Bei fight against Lv Bu?" Although Xiahou Dun firmly believed that Lv Bu was his enemy and it was impossible for the two sides to reconcile, in the past few years, Xiahou Dun also had no hope for revenge, only hoping to find a force that could stop Lv Bu's footsteps.

"Although Liu Bei's power is weak and small, he has been able to defeat and fight repeatedly for so many years. When Cao Gong was alive, his evaluation of Liu Bei was also very high. I think he is naturally extraordinary." Even Cao Ren can't figure out why Liu Bei can live so long in troubled times, after Cao Cao, Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu were destroyed one after another. However, since Liu Bei has his own way to survive in troubled times, he may create miracles.

Just as the situation in Jingzhou began to change, another blockbuster news came out in Luoyang.

It turned out that on the day Emperor Xian returned to Luoyang, he finally edicted himself and admitted that he had an inescapable responsibility for what had recently happened to the Great Han Dynasty, so he made Lv Bu the regent and take charge of the government. After becoming the regent, Lv Bu said that his talent was limited and he could not take on such a heavy task. He had to choose some virtues from the world and made important contributions to the Han Dynasty to govern the world with himself. Therefore, he was canonized eight princes to govern the government with himself. If these people died or because of their If he can't get there, their descendants will go to Luoyang to exercise power on his behalf, which is known as the regent of the nine kings.
