"It turns out that the general is a descendant of Siemens. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 info" Ma Rong sighed in admiration, and her face showed a little impressed.

Ma Rong is also from a family, although she is not erudite and talented, she has read a lot of books and knows a lot of historical allusions.

Ma Rong remembered that the Ximen Leopard was a generation of famous ministers of the Wei State during the Spring and Autumn Period, and when the reign of Wei Wenhou, a generation of Ming monarchs, was valued by him and served as the Yecheng Order, and during his tenure, he broke the superstition of "Hebo marries a woman", and repeatedly mobilized the people to dig twelve canals to divert river water to irrigate the people's fields, and those canals were called Ximen Leopard Canal by later generations.

And Simon Leopard is also respected as Siemens because of his outstanding political achievements, although he is not as famous as Confucius and Han Feizi, but he can also occupy a place among the sons.

Ma Rong vaguely remembered that whenever the men in the family evaluated the ancient virtuous ministers, they would mention the allusion of "Ximen Leopard Zhiye".

Although An Lushan is the son of Liu Bei and serves as the commander of the Imperial Forbidden Army, he is the ethnic identity of the Wuhuan people, and when it comes to family background, he is naturally not as good as Ximenqing.

In the face of Ma Rong's praise, Ximen Qing laughed at himself: "That is the glory of the ancestors, my Ximen family has long been in the middle of the road, I am really ashamed of the ancestors." ”

"General Simon don't have to be discouraged." Ma Rong smiled and said with relief: "You have such a noble bloodline, you are young and promising, and you are talented, as long as you can find an opportunity to make contributions to the Han Dynasty, why can't you be a marquis and worship the general, and revitalize the lintel of your Ximen family." ”

Ma Rong only encouraged casually and had no other thoughts, but the phrase "noble bloodline" inadvertently stabbed An Lushan's weakness.

An Lushan's brows suddenly froze, and a trace of imperceptible gloom flashed in his eyes.

Ma Rong didn't see it, but Ximen Qing was obviously very good at observing words and feelings, and immediately noticed the change in An Lushan's expression, and hurriedly said: "What bloodline is not bloodline, the minister feels that it is useless, if the minister does not have the son's appreciation, I am afraid that he is still sleeping in the open food now, and the minister does not have such great ambitions, he just wants to saddle the horse for the son, go to the soup and go to the fire, in order to repay the kindness of the son." ”

Ximen Qing is showing loyalty to An Lushan.

As soon as these words came out, An Lushan's expression obviously turned cloudy to clear, a satisfied smile was squeezed out at the corner of his mouth, and he nodded slightly, obviously very satisfied with Ximenqing's statement.

Thinking that Liu Bei was about to enter the palace, if he didn't go to greet him in advance, he would be rude and would inevitably be slandered, so An Lushan officially resigned.

Ma Rong didn't stay long, watching An Lushan leave, looking at Ximen Qing's handsome figure and disappearing from view, Ma Rong's eyes flashed with a bit of reluctance.

……

An Lushan left in a hurry with Ximenqing, and when he arrived at the palace gate, he happened to meet Liu Bei returning to the palace.

After the father and son saw the courtesy of the monarch and the minister, Liu Bei returned to the Golden Palace with a lot of excitement.

Not long after, Zhuge Liang, Sima Hui, Pang Tong, Fu Zhu and other cadres of Wenchen, Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, Lu Bu, Zhao Yun, Wu Sangui and other generals rushed to the Golden Palace.

The hall was filled with the smell of gunpowder, and before Liu Bei could speak, everyone faintly felt that Liu Bei was about to announce something big.

Zhuge Liang was the first to stand up, and said with a smile: "Your Majesty returned from the Daijun hunting tour in advance, and his complexion is so good, it seems that this hunting with Nayelu Abaoji must have a good result." ”

Liu Bei wanted to conquer Wei in the south, and naturally knew that he could not shake the behemoth tree of Wei with his own Han strength, and he must have foreign aid.

Now Sun Ce has landed in Qingzhou, and the Qingxu Wei army has been defeated, and the entire Donglai County has been captured, and most of the Beihai Kingdom will almost be captured by Sun Ce except for the drama county.

At this time, a rebel such as Song Jiang emerged in the Wei Kingdom, and established himself as the king of Mount Tai, not only possessing Taishan County, but also coercing Sun Ce's Japanese army, and defeated the Qingxu Wei army again and again.

Although Liu Bei is not clear about the origin of this Song Jiang, this is not important, the important thing is that his rebellion is like adding fuel to the fire, which puts the situation of Wei in Qingzhou into an even more unfavorable situation.

Just wait for Sun Ce to capture Juxian, the army will be able to kill Qingzhou, and the troops will reach the Yellow River, threatening Yanzhou to the west and Jizhou to the north.

In Jiaozhou, thousands of miles away, although the Taiping army's offensive in Jingzhou was repelled by the Wei army, the pottery merchants led their army deep into the remote places of Jiaozhou, and they would surely fall into the quagmire of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, and it would be difficult to withdraw and return north for a while.

It can be said that the current potters are in a situation where they can't take care of each other, and for Liu Bei, this is a good time for the southern expedition.

Therefore, Liu Bei had already begun to gather soldiers and horses a month ago, gather grain and grass, and prepare to go south.

Liu Bei also thought that the pottery merchant was not a headache enough, so at Zhuge Liang's suggestion, he invited Xianbei Dadan Yu Yelu Abaoji to hunt in Daijun, and took this opportunity to persuade Yelu Abao to lead the iron horse south and merge the state.

Yelu Abaoji, Song Jiang, Sun Ce, Hong Xiuquan, with these four soldiers and horses, plus his own Youyan iron cavalry, Liu Bei believes that under the siege of the combined attack of the five armies, this time he will be able to destroy the Wei State and achieve the miraculous feat of the Zhongxing Han Dynasty in one fell swoop.

Hearing Zhuge Liang's question, Liu Bei laughed and said happily: "Cheng is really like a god, that's right, I have already persuaded Nayelu Abaoji to send 80,000 Xianbei iron horsemen to the south, take Jinyang directly, and then attack and annex the state." ”

As soon as these words came out, in the main hall, the ministers of the Han State were immediately overjoyed and fell into excitement.

Zhang Fei was even more excited to jump up, shouting at the top of his voice: "Now the Wei State has become a pot of porridge, the pottery thief kid can take care of his head and can't take care of his stomach, and now the Xianbei people are also willing to send troops, he is going to die now, Your Majesty, what are we waiting for, immediately send troops south to destroy the traitor!" ”

Zhang Fei was excited, and the rest of Wu Sangui and other generals were all enthusiastic, and they all shouted generously, wanting to seize this great opportunity and make contributions.

"Yelu Abaoji, this person has a gloomy mind, and he is very ambitious, far better than the dead Tuoba Hong, he is now willing to send troops to help in the war, I am afraid that His Majesty must have agreed to him on any conditions." Sima Yi asked with a faint smile.

Liu Bei's figure shook slightly, and he sighed: "Knower, sure enough, Zhongda, that's right, then Yelu Abaoji did offer conditions, and the conditions are still very big." ”

In the main hall, the ministers suddenly quieted down, and looked at Liu Bei with curious eyes, guessing what kind of lion opened his mouth when he was Yelu Abaoji.

Liu Bei took a light breath and said silently: "Yelu Abaoji said that his Xianbei clan will no longer submit to my Han from now on, and will regard my Han as the suzerain, but will sit on an equal footing with us and become friends." ”

As soon as these words came out, the expressions of Zhang Fei and the others in front of the hall changed.

Only Zhuge Liang and Sima Yi and the like looked indifferent, as if they had expected it.

Liu Bei continued: "Nayelu Abaoji also proposed that he would divide the Wei State with my Han Dynasty with Taihang Mountain as the boundary, and the land west of Taihang Mountain would be owned by Xianbei, and after the destruction of Wei, he would also support him to ascend the throne and become the emperor, and he would be a brother country." ”

With a dignified remark, Liu Bei said Abaoji's conditions.

It's really a lion's mouth.

In the past, the Xianbei people were nominally the Fan of the Han Dynasty, and the Xianbei Dashan Yu still had to accept his Liu Bei's canonization, claiming to be his Liu Bei's courtiers.

As for the Xianbei people's iron cavalry south, it was also called by him, the son of the Han Dynasty, to open up territory for the Han Dynasty and quell the rebellion.

And now, Yelu Abaoji actually straightened his waist, wanted to ascend the throne and become the emperor, and wanted to share the world with him Liu Bei, sit on an equal footing, and change from a courtier to a "brother".

This is simply "robbing while the fire is on"!

"Damn, what kind of thing is Yelu Abaoji, he dares to sit on an equal footing with His Majesty, and dares to carve up the world, he is so big, and he doesn't pee to take care of himself!" Zhang Fei was the first to be indignant and roared and scolded.

The rest of Guan Yu and the others were also indignant, scolding Xianbei people for being bold and shameless.

Liu Bei was silent, silent, and let the courtiers scold.

In the midst of indignation, Zhao Yun's face changed, and he asked urgently: "Your Majesty, that Yelu Abaoji actually offered such harsh conditions, could it be that Your Majesty has already agreed to that guy?" ”

Liu Bei was still silent.

Silence means acquiescence.

"Your Majesty actually agreed? His Majesty actually agreed to such a condition of loss of power and humiliation of the country? Zhao Yun's expression was solemn, and it was difficult to hide the questioning tone in his tone.

Liu Bei sighed bitterly, shook his head and said helplessly: "Do you think that if there is another way, I will make this decision?" ”

Zhao Yun was speechless when asked in one sentence, and the rest of Zhang Fei and the others, although they were angry, they didn't know how to refute it.

Zhuge Liang shook his feather fan and sighed: "Now the strength of the Wei State is too strong, if we don't rely on the strength of the Xianbei people, we can't destroy the Wei State and revive the Han Dynasty, in the final analysis, the pottery thief is our henchman, although Yelu Abaoji is greedy, it is just a disease outside the skin, as long as we can destroy the pottery thief, according to the land related to the east, I am afraid that we will not be able to drive the Xianbei people out of the Central Plains in the future." ”

Zhuge Liang sprinkled some words, expressed Liu Bei's distress, and gradually calmed down the doubts of the ministers, Liu Bei's expression was obviously much better, looking at Zhuge Liang nodded slightly to show approval.

Seeing the situation, Sima Yi hurriedly said: "Your Majesty can take the Han family as the priority, endure humiliation for the sake of the overall situation of the country, and induce Nayelu Abaoji to send troops, it is really a god and a martial strategist, and it is really the blessing of my Han Dynasty. ”

Sima Yi's sycophant even slapped Liu Bei's heart, instantly slapped the haze on his face, and photographed him in a good mood, and couldn't help laughing: "Zhong Da's words are serious, for the great cause of the Zhongxing Han Dynasty, what is my little sacrifice." ”

Liu Bei has already agreed, Zhuge Liang has explained the reason, Sima Yi's sycophants have also been patted, even if there are a hundred more ministers who are unhappy, what can they do, they can only endure it.

At this time, Guan Yu, who had been silent, stood up, put on a straight face, and said coldly: "The matter has come to this, we don't need to waste time here, let's seize this great opportunity and immediately send troops to destroy the pottery thief, as long as the traitor is destroyed, the rest of Sun Ce, Abaoji, Song Jiang and the like are like chickens and dogs, and they are vulnerable!" ”

Liu Bei's ambition was instantly ignited by Guan Yu's arrogant words, and he slapped the case a few times, and said excitedly: "Spread my will, and I will do it today......

"Newspaper - Jiaozhou Urgent Report - "

Before Liu Bei could say the word "up", he was interrupted by a hasty and urgent sound.

From Liu Bei to the ministers, they looked towards the palace gate with their eyes.

I saw a royal forest sergeant rushing in, holding a silk book in his hand, and shouting: "Your Majesty, Jiaozhou urgently, the pottery thief has conquered the dragon a few days ago, killed Hong Xiuquan, destroyed the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, and is now leading the army to return north!" ”
