Three Kingdoms: I am the Crown Prince

  "As long as Yuan Shao is not eliminated, can I be safe?" Liu Xie was a relatively astute emperor, otherwise he wouldn't have rebelled multiple times in history. A mediocre talent would only make a puppet.

  Never thought of this before, but now I have some understanding.

  "Cao Cao was invincible in the Central Plains, but compared to Yuan Shao of Hebei, he still had his limitations. His only advantage was that he had Emperor Xian under his control. If there were internal conflicts and he fell out with Emperor Xian, it would be equivalent to destroying his only advantage. This was something Cao Cao would never do. Therefore, no matter how Cao Cao made his moves, as long as Emperor Xian protected him, he would not come to harm."

  Liu Feng nodded, saying quite affirmatively.

  In the chaotic world, you come and go, borrowing power to fight is a common occurrence. At first, Cao Cao borrowed the prestige of the Han emperor to order Lü Bu, Sun Ce and others to attack Yuan Shu who claimed to be emperor.

  It is by borrowing the power of Han's chamber. At this moment, Cao Cao is weak, while Yuan Shao is strong, but the Han emperor is even weaker and is being controlled by Cao Cao. It is natural to borrow the power of Yuan Shao to influence oneself.

  To preserve oneself. Yuan Shao has troops outside, claiming to be the hero of Hebei, and is beneficial but harmless to the Han emperor.

  Liu Xie's eyes gradually lit up, and he nodded repeatedly, saying: "If it weren't for the imperial son, I wouldn't have thought of this point. In that case, the Liu family may still have a chance."

  Looking at Liu Xie's expression, Liu Feng's heart skipped a beat, and his confidence surged. I guess it's really going to be a case of "clothes-belt decree" this time. However, Liu Feng didn't think much about Liu Xie for now, the top priority was still to deal with the current situation.

  Although Liu Feng despised Cao Cao strategically and thought that Cao Cao did not dare to overthrow the emperor again, tactically, he had to be taken very seriously.

  Because strategically underestimating the opponent is belittling them, elevating oneself. To boost one's own confidence and determination. Real battles are where every blow draws blood.

  "No, this is still too dangerous. Cao Cao holds military power and it's chilling. If he has evil intentions, the emperor will be poisoned to death. It'll be too late for regrets then, let's send the emperor out of the city first." Liu Feng had gradually convinced Liu Xie, and made a step-by-step plan, but at this time, Empress Fu spoke out in opposition.

  When speaking, her eyes shone with a very firm gaze. Although this woman was extremely intelligent, she was extremely doting on her son.

  Just kidding, all of this is based on Cao Cao not making a move, it's too dangerous.

  "Deliver outside the city?"

  Liu Feng's eyebrows jumped, and he asked in doubt.

  "I just received the news and discussed with the Empress, sending the Crown Prince out of the city to avoid disaster. After all, the Crown Prince is a rare talent among men, if he can escape, the Han dynasty may not have lost the opportunity to rise again." Liu Xie saw Liu Feng's confusion and couldn't help but smile bitterly.

  The mighty emperor, yet planning to send away the crown prince. What kind of desperation is this?

  "This won't do. I absolutely will not leave the capital." Liu Feng's heart skipped a beat as he hastily shook his head and said.

  "Why?" Liu Xie asked in puzzlement. In his and Empress Fu's view, sending Liu Feng out of the city as a last resort was not a bad backup plan either.

  "If I leave the city, am I still the Crown Prince? Once I leave the city, I'm just an eight-year-old child. Either I'll be fleeing all over the world or being used by others." Liu Feng said with a bitter smile.

  This was the reason why Liu Feng was determined to take down Xudu. No, Liu Feng also took leaving the city as a last resort and had made early preparations, recruiting Zhao Yun as his bodyguard, to fight his way out in case of extreme necessity.

  But that's a last resort. Unless absolutely necessary, Liu Feng would not give up his current position.

  It's a bit better with Zhao Yun, at least he can make the majestic and loyal Zhao Yun appear, he can strategize in the back, it's not necessarily a complete failure. But now Zhao Yun hasn't returned yet.

  An eight-year-old child leaves the city and lives in a chaotic world, how tragic.

  Just now, Liu Feng wanted to rely on Yuan Shao's power to ensure the safety of Emperor Liu Xie. Now it is also this reason, Liu Feng himself also wants to rely on the power of the Han dynasty to unfold his plan to seize the throne.

  Liu Feng had long known that being the crown prince was a double-edged sword. While it brought him great danger, it also provided a very high starting point.

  Just like Liu Feng wants to recruit Zhao Yun, huh? Can anyone else recruit Zhao Yun? But Liu Feng dares to make a bet, as soon as he hears that the Emperor wants to recruit him, Zhao Yun will definitely come over with joy.

  And sworn loyalty unto death.

  This is the power of Han's room.

  So, even if you beat Liu Feng to death, he won't leave the city at this time.

  "This." Liu Xie was stunned, and it really was as Liu Feng said. An 18-year-old child had left the city, and probably more than half of them were gone. Empress Fu heard this and suddenly felt that there was no safety outside, and it would be better to let her son live under her own eyes. If something really happened, she could also protect one or two people.

  Liu Xie and Empress Fu had just discussed letting Liu Feng leave the city to avoid disaster, but it came to nothing.

  Xiahou Shang and others were injured and were sent out of the palace first. For these young nobles, the soldiers did not dare to slack off and one by one sent them back home.

  Xiahou Shang was then sent back to Xiahou Yuan's residence.

  Xiahou Shang's parents were both in Qiao County, but he himself was sent to Xuchang because of his intelligence and handed over to Xiahou Yuan for guidance. Later, Xiahou Yuan arranged for him to be given to Cao Pi, and the two became companions.

  Now, Xiahou Yuan is serving as the governor of Chenliu and is not in Xuchang.

  When Xiahou Shang was carried back by the armored soldiers, he was already on his last breath. Along the way, the armored soldiers had helped Xiahou Shang slightly treat his wounds, but his condition did not improve.

  Xiahou Shang not only lost a lot of blood, but his buttocks were almost bitten to shreds, and his arms, thighs, etc. all had wounds. It was almost unbearable to look at, even the armored soldiers could see that this young noble's life was probably not going to be preserved.

  "Still a child." Since Xiahou Yuan was not present, the one who came out to check after receiving the message was Xiahou Yuan's wife, Chen Shi. Chen Shi had a tall and slender figure, and was extremely beautiful.

  Xiahou Shang was extremely favored by Xiahou Yuan, so Chen Shi also treated Xiahou Shang well.

  At this moment, Xiahoudang, who was still full of energy when he went out in the morning, suddenly looked like this, and couldn't help but let out a sorrowful cry before fainting.

  "Madam, madam."

  The maids around her cried out in surprise, and immediately the entire mansion was thrown into an uproar.

  Today, the chaotic mansion is destined not to stop at Xiahou Yuan's place alone.

  There were also several Taizi Sheren.

  Today will also be an unforgettable day.

  Xu Du City, Si Kong Fu.

  Inside the city, the most grand and luxurious mansion is naturally the residence of Emperor Liu Xie, the imperial palace. However, the residence of the Minister of Works cannot be ignored. It is not the largest nor the most luxurious mansion.

  But it is the most majestic mansion.

  Because Cao Cao, who held the central power, lived here and was appointed as the Minister of Works, one of the Three Dukes.

  Cao Pi was also sent back, almost at the same time when Xiahou Shang and others were sent away, Cao Pi returned. On the road not far from the gate of the Minister of Works' mansion, Cao Pi rode his horse forward.

  Although the wound on his forehead had been simply bandaged, Cao Pi slightly lowered his head, feeling a bit down and quite shocked. It wasn't until he was about to reach the gate of the Minister of Works' residence that he looked up. He saw someone standing outside the gate with a large group of guards behind him.

  "Nice to meet you, Father."

  Cao Pi hastily dismounted his horse and paid his respects.

  This man was not tall in stature, but extremely sturdy, with a face that was not particularly handsome, but rather rough and bold. The whole person also had an extraordinary air of authority, precisely the current Minister of Works, who would later become the infamous Cao Cao.

  Liu Feng's arch-nemesis for life.
