The reason why Liu Feng did not recognize Liu Xie as emperor was not because he had any objection to Liu Xie, but to Dong Zhuo.

Whether it is Liu Xie or Liu Bian, they are the same to Liu Feng.

They are both sons of Han Ling Emperor Liu Hong, and they are equally young. There is no difference in who becomes the emperor.

At least now I can't see any difference.

Liu Xie was the famous Han Xian Emperor in later generations. As the subjugated king of the Han Dynasty, he was not as incompetent as the other last emperors. He only knew how to destroy the legacy of his ancestors.

On the contrary, Liu Xie is actually a person who is unwilling to bow to fate. It is not his fault that the big man was ruined in his hands and he became a puppet emperor.

The seeds of the Han Dynasty's corruption had already been planted during the reign of Emperors Huan and Ling. After Liu Xie came to the throne, he did not want the Han Dynasty to be ruined in his own hands, so he had been actively resisting in the early stage.

Whether facing Dong Zhuo, Li Jue, Guo Si, or finally Cao Cao, Liu Xie was always trying to find ways to break free from their control.

If Liu Xie could be born in a normal governance, then even if he could not create a prosperous era like Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, he would at least be able to develop his rule smoothly.

As for Liu Bian, because he only served as emperor for a few months before being killed by Dong Zhuo in later generations, Liu Feng could not evaluate him.

However, no matter who of the two would be the emperor, what Liu Feng couldn't tolerate was Dong Zhuo's selfish attempt to dethrone the emperor and privately own the emperor.

Because since he dares to risk the disapproval of the world and depose the emperor according to his own preferences, then what prestige does the emperor in this world have?

Of course, Liu Feng didn't actually care about the emperor's majesty. He just believed that if everyone recognized that the emperor established by Dong Zhuo was orthodox, they would give this emperor the greatest respect.

And the emperor has the respect of the world, and Dong Zhuo, the man who personally put Liu Xie on the throne, has the highest power.

This kind of power does not mean that one person has power over thousands of people, but that even the emperor must become his puppet, and he himself seems to be an existence like the Supreme Emperor.

This is what Liu Feng least wants to see.

Moreover, at the same time that the news came that Dong Zhuo had brought chaos to the court, abolished the emperor and established a new one, and named Liu Bian King Hongnong, another news came from the Luoyang Longcheng Newspaper Office.

That was shortly after Liu Bian was promoted to King Hongnong by Dong Zhuobian, he died suddenly.

After inquiring by the intelligence personnel of Longcheng News Agency, it was found that the cause of Hongnong King Liu Bian's death was that Dong Zhuo gave him poisoned wine and forced him to commit suicide in order to prevent other princes from establishing Liu Bian as emperor.

If before this, Liu Feng did not recognize Liu Xie, who was established by Dong Zhuo, as the emperor, and the world might still think that Liu Feng refused to recognize it because of his conflict with Dong Zhuo, then after Liu Bian's death, people all recognized Dong Zhuo's Ambition.

However, it was too late now.

With Liu Bian's death, Liu Xie became Liu Hong's only heir and the only one who could inherit the throne.

Liu Feng was very angry about this. He immediately issued a notice to the world, denounced Dong Zhuo's evil deeds and wolfish ambitions, and once again stated that he would not recognize Liu Xie's position as emperor.

As a supporter of the current little emperor, Dong Zhuo proclaimed himself the Grand Master and controlled the government on the pretext of assisting Liu Xie. He was now the most powerful person in the world.

Liu Feng, the king of Liaodong, was already a very popular minister when the late emperor was in power. He was the only powerful prince with both a throne and military power. He was more than ten thousand people below Liu Hong.

Liu Hong even once wanted to crown him as the King of Side by Side.

The unabashed conflict between Dong Zhuo and Liu Feng represented the conflict between the two most powerful people in the era and attracted the attention of all the princes in the world.

Everyone knows that Dong Zhuo abolished the emperor and established a new one, but was openly questioned by Liu Feng, so he must establish his authority.

Therefore, a war between the two sides is inevitable.

This highly anticipated battle did not make the various princes look forward to it for too long.

The first one to take action was Dong Zhuo.

When word reached Luoyang that Liu Feng denounced Dong Zhuo and took the lead in not recognizing Liu Xie's position as emperor, Dong Zhuo was furious.

After he gritted his teeth and read the announcement handed to him by his subordinates, he was so angry that he tore the announcement written on Dragon City rice paper into pieces.

After being angry, Dong Zhuo immediately ordered Li Ru to lead an army of 100,000 to guard Luoyang, while he would personally lead his own army of 100,000 and tens of thousands of Yulin troops and city guards to conquer Liaodong.

However, just when Dong Zhuo was about to go to the school field to order troops and set off, Li Ru hurriedly came to Dong Zhuo and stopped him.

At this time, Dong Zhuo was furious. When he saw Li Ru stopping him, he said angrily:"Wen You, please don't block the way.

As a grand master, our family now has hundreds of thousands of elite soldiers. How dare Liu Feng do this in front of us?" Our family is humiliated in front of the people of the world. If our family does not conquer his Liaodong County, won't we be ridiculed by the princes of the world?

Who will obey our orders then?"

After hearing Dong Zhuo's words, Li Ru hurriedly said:" My father-in-law and son-in-law are here just for this matter.

We must not easily swallow Liu Feng’s move.

But how to deal with this matter requires long-term planning.

Now my father-in-law is honored as the Grand Master and assists the emperor in management. The princes of the world and the more than one hundred counties in the thirteen states of the Han Dynasty have the final say, my father-in-law. You can't just rush to the front when something happens."

Dong Zhuo finally sobered up a little after listening to Li Ru's words, and then asked He said:"Then according to Wenyou's idea, if our family doesn't go in person, who can we send?"

Li Ru replied:"My father-in-law is in great power now, so why send his direct descendants to travel thousands of miles across mountains and rivers to attack Liaodong.

You only need We need to ask the little emperor to draft an imperial edict in the name of the emperor and send it to Youzhou Mu Liu Yu, so that Liu Yu can lead the Youzhou army to attack Liu Feng. In this way, we can not only let the princes of the world see our attitude, but also be able to You can attack Liu Feng without spending a single soldier, and even if you lose, you will not lose much."

Dong Zhuo was overjoyed after hearing Li Ru's plan, and immediately drafted an imperial edict in the name of the young emperor Liu Xie and sent it to Youzhou Mu Liu Yu asked him to lead troops to attack the King of Liaodong in order to rectify the emperor's name.

Liu Yu himself was naturally opposed to Liu Feng's policy towards foreigners and his soft policy. He knew that Liu Feng would never compromise with him, so he had long wanted to get rid of Liu Feng.

However, although Liu Feng was a prefect under his rule in Youzhou and was technically his subordinate, Liu Feng also had another identity as the King of Liaodong, which made Liu Yu dare not send troops easily.

In addition, there was no reason, so he never attacked Liaodong.

At this moment, Liu Yu had an imperial edict and immediately asked Xian Yufu to lead the army to attack Liaodong.

However, when Xian Yufu's army reached the border of Youbeiping, it was stopped by the army led by Gongsun Zan.
