The winner gains all, and the loser loses everything. From the moment this world was born, there was nothing fair about it.

Gao Gan knelt on the ground, his helmet fell off at some point, his messy hair hung down, and there was a bruise on his left cheek that he didn't know where it was, and the flesh was turned outward, but now it was no longer bleeding, leaving only a dry blood clot mixed with dust.

Compared with the pain on his face and body, Gao Gan is more in the pain in his heart.

Don't look at the senior cadres are Yuan Shao's nephews, but in fact, the age is only two or three years old for Yuan Shao, and he is also a person who is running four at the moment, and he is gradually approaching the average life expectancy in the Han Dynasty, especially as the general of the unified army, with the increase of age, energy and physical strength are gradually declining, and he is no longer as energetic as when he was young, even if he stays up for a few days and nights, he doesn't care.

Human evolution also follows the laws of nature. All species that have reproductive functions are generally healthy and have the strongest vitality before entering the breeding period, but once the breeding period is over, the overall function begins to decline, because nature only needs to ensure the premise of species reproduction.

The reputation cycle of generals is not long, when they are young, they are motivated but inexperienced, and when they are old, they accumulate experience, but they damage their bodies, even if they are forced to go to the battlefield, they may not be able to have a good result.

Shrouding on the battlefield, dying on the battlefield at the peak of time, and not bearing the pain of old age, may be the obsession in the hearts of many generals.

It's like a high-level cadre. He was also once high-spirited, and he once felt that he could succeed in starting a business, he could stand alone, and hold local power, and even felt that he was just one chance away from Yuan Shao.

Now, however, it's all over......

Chen Liugao's family, talented Zhihong Miao, and civil and military show, so Gao Gan was valued by Han Fu and Yuan Shao, and the family also pinned great hopes on him, even if he didn't say this, what should the children in the family do? Is it true that my own children are going to hang up the sign of a failed father for the rest of their lives?

Compared with the pain above the soul, the physical pain is nothing at all, and at this moment, Gao Gan, who is nearly forty years old, is disheartened and looks like a tree.

“……”

Fei Qian said a few words, but when he looked down, he found that Gao Gan was motionless, if it weren't for the morning breeze blowing through his messy hair, it would even make people suspect that it was a wood carving.

"Hmm......" Fei Qian pinched the short beard on his chin, stared at Gao Gan for a while, and lost the interest in speaking, waved his hand and said, "Come on, loosen the tie...... Let some of his guards loosen their ties and send them back...... By the way, what is the name of the injured one? Yuan ......"

"Yuan Yu and Yuan Chunqing ......," Zhang Xiu added.

"Well, let it go too." Fei Qian looked up to the sky and yawned, as if he had eaten and wiped it clean, and suddenly lacked interest.

Gao Gan raised his head, he couldn't believe it, and he didn't even react when a few soldiers stepped forward and pushed him to loosen it.

Zhang Xiu stared at Gao Gan viciously, and then followed Fei Qian, and asked as he walked, "Lord, is this...... Just put it like that? ”

"Or else?" Fei sneaked back.

Zhang Xiu was stunned for a moment and said, "This ...... The subordinates didn't mean anything, they just felt a little pity......" Zhang Xiu turned his head to stare at Gao Gan, his eyes walking up and down Gao Gan's neck and waist, as if he was thinking about where the next knife should be cut.

For Fei Qian, Gao Gan is like a fart, and if he releases it, he will let it go, but for Zhang Xiu, the prey he caught for the first time, even if he is a lame sheep, he feels no different from a fat sheep, and he has not enjoyed the feeling of a day, so he let it go, for Zhang Xiu, it feels really a pity.

Fei Qian didn't even take a look at Gao Gan, just now, he could already confirm that Gao Gan's spirit and spirit were basically defeated, even if such a person put ten or twenty back, it would be useless, and it was okay to continue to mess around with Yuan Shao's men, but it was basically impossible to lead the troops to fight alone. Not all people, like Saint Seiya Xiaoqiang, can get up again and again.

After this battle, although Yuan Shao's troops were disabled, it was just the loss of these pawns under Gao Gan, as for the follow-up auxiliaries and people, most of them were still in the mountain roads and not here, so on the whole, Yuan Shao's losses were not too big.

In addition, Gao Gan and Yuan Yu were put back, on the one hand, he expressed his tough attitude, and on the other hand, he also took care of some of Yuan Shao's face, Yuan Shao's annoyance was inevitable, and he was not too embarrassed. In any case, if Yuan Shao wants to attack Taihang, he must gather more troops, so Yuan Shao must weigh it again.

Although it is said that there will definitely be some disease in Yuan Shao's heart, at least Yuan Shao will not dare to act rashly in the near future, at least before he finishes digesting Gongsun Zhan.

The extra time is enough to build some permanent military villages in several mountain passes in Taihang.

The soldiers don't need a lot, five hundred and eight hundred are about the same, as long as they are stuck somewhere, it is enough to make anyone who wants to pass through the mountain road mutter.

After defending this direction, the next center of gravity is to be changed.

"The general's face, I still have to give a little ......" Fei Qian comforted Zhang Xiu, and looked into the distance, "...... There are still ...... opportunities Don't worry, this feat is indispensable to your ......"

………………………………

Fei Qian, the general of the expedition to the west, has just ended the battle here, and the battle in Luoyang has just begun.

The national ruler of the Son of Heaven finished his expressionless face and entered the palace gate under the leadership of the Yellow Gate, preparing to meet Liu Xie, the son of the Han Dynasty.

After Fu is a Langya Dongwu man, after Fu Zhan, a famous minister of Zhongxing. The Fu family is a family of Confucianists, and is famous all over the world for studying the Book of Songs. Since the beginning of Emperor Xiaowu, there have been endless Confucians and ministers in the family. Fu Zhan's father, Fu Li, was a teacher of Emperor Xiaocheng. Fu Zhan was once the great Situ and Yangdu Marquis of the Guangwu Emperor's dynasty, and was very relied on by the Guangwu Emperor.

Fu Zhan's fifth grandson is called Fu Wuji, a Shuoru of this dynasty. In the first year of Yonghe, he and Yilang Huang Jing revised the Chinese book "Five Classics", Zhuzi Baijia and Qi Shu. Fu Wan is the grandson of Fu Wuji, and his wife is the eldest princess of Yang'an, the daughter of the filial emperor. His daughter is the queen of today's son.

So although Fu Wan is not very proficient in scheming, but under such a family background, he is somewhat exposed to it, and not all of them understand anything.

Before the Chongde Palace, Huang Xian saw that he was coming, and took a few steps forward to salute.

After Fu Wan, he also stopped slightly, returned the half-salute to Huang Xian, and with a smile on his face, he said, "General Huang, how are you doing?" ”

Huang Xian said with a glance: "Thanks to the blessing of the country." Then lead in front.

After Fu finished smiling, he slowly followed Huang Xian forward, and said softly: "Recently, Heluo has been restless, and the safety of His Majesty still needs to be bothered by the general." ”

Huang Xian stood in front of the main hall and said again: "The national lord is serious, this is a certain duty, and he must be conscientious." ”

Fu Wan still smiled, nodded, and then walked into the main hall. Every time he took a step, his smile was less, and when he walked in front of Liu Xie, he didn't smile at all, and he saluted Liu Xie respectfully.

Liu Xie asked Fu Wan to sit down, chatted a few words, and Fu Wan also picked out some interesting things that happened in the city, and told Liu Xie, but he also looked happy.

After a while, Liu Xie seemed to suddenly remember something, and said unhurriedly: "The queen knows that Aiqing wants to come to see her, so she made a sachet...... Hmmm......"

Liu Xie touched it in his sleeve, then changed to another sleeve, frowned and said, "It must have fallen on the queen's place...... Ah, who's who, go to the queen's place and fetch ......"

Liu Xie pointed with his hand and asked a Huangmen eunuch who was waiting on the side to get the sachet.

The eunuch of the Yellow Gate raised his eyebrows, immediately bowed down to receive the order, took a few steps back, and walked out of the main hall.

Liu Xie stared at the eunuch of the Yellow Gate and walked away, Fang sighed, and said softly: "My name is the Son of Heaven, and I ......am actually in prison."

"Your Majesty!" After bowing down to the ground and worshipping, "the old minister is incompetent, and the crime deserves death......"

Liu Xie smiled, stretched out his hand and said, "Aiqing doesn't have to be like this, and it's not Aiqing's fault." "After so many years, Liu Xie has also seen a little, after all, complaining or something, occasionally talking about it is good for mental health, but if you pour bitter water all the time when you meet people, what is the difference between it and a resentful woman?

Fu Wan frowned, turned his head to look outside the hall, his drooping white eyebrows moved, his eyes narrowed, and he whispered: "Your Majesty, if you think this thief is an eyesore, the old minister has his own way......"

Liu Xie waved his hand and said, "If the wood is not rooted, it is useless to prune the branches and leaves. ”

"Your Majesty," bowed again, the hoarse old voice trembled a little, and seemed to be pleased that Liu Xie was so reasonable, "Your Majesty is smart and intelligent, and in time, he will definitely become a great man and become a martial artist!" ”

"Guangwu ......" Liu Xie raised his head slightly, his eyes turned into the distance, revealing a little longing, but he quickly took it back, looked at Fu Wan and said in a low voice, "Aiqing, outside the city...... How's it going? ”

"Your Majesty, Wenhou has arrived in Xingyang......" After Fu finished getting closer, he lowered his voice, for fear of being heard by someone, "Blocked in the tiger prison, and not allowed to enter......"

"Tiger Prison?" Liu Xie groaned.

Yang Biao laid a foundation in Heluo, how could he be defenseless against the Shandong Shi clan? Although there are not many garrisons in the Tiger Prison, it is not easy for Lu Bu to attack them.

Lu Bu came under the banner of supporting Liu Xie's pro-government, and naturally hit Liu Xie's pain point. Liu Xie was displaced, and even refused Fei Qian's retention, insisting on coming to Luoyang, isn't it just to be able to regain the glory of the Han Dynasty here and realize his original dream?

However, the coldness of reality still made Liu Xie's face freeze painfully.

In addition to the marginalized ministers such as Dong Cheng, Liu Xie could not control the court at all, and even the Yang family had manpower in the forbidden area, although in terms of material supply and corresponding attitude, it was much better than when he was in Chang'an, at least Yang Biao was quite respectful on the surface, and from time to time he took some small things to let Liu Xie call the shots, but Liu Xie knew in his heart that there was no essential difference between it and when he was under Dong Zhuo.

is not even as good as Wang Yun, at least when Wang Situ has different views with Wang Yun on something and has other ideas, Wang Yun will patiently explain his own ideas to Liu Xie in as much detail as possible, which is also to let Liu Xie understand some key points of governing the country.

And the things that Yang Biao brought were basically inconsequential trivial matters, such as whether the repair of the palace should be carried out this month or next month, whether there were five or six porridge shacks set up outside the city for the homeless, etc., even if Liu Xie chose a certain answer, it would not affect the overall situation.

But Liu Xie didn't want this, he wanted more......

Yang Biao obviously couldn't give it, so Liu Xie could only think of his own way, and for the current situation, Lu Bu, who was obviously not good at or proficient in government affairs, was naturally the best choice for Fu Wan Dong Cheng and others, anyway, these people felt that it was impossible to be worse than the current situation, so Liu Xie and Fu Wan and the others hit it off, and they almost held a small bunting to welcome.

Let Lu Bu fight to the death outside like an eagle dog, and then control the power of the court at home, isn't this a situation of great joy?

"Your Majesty......" Fu Wan said in a low voice, "The Tiger Prison is attacked, and Yang Gong must know...... From Zheng County to Luoyang, it only takes three or five days...... If...... You might as well let people hold the talisman, the stars and the moon gallop to the tiger prison, and control the soldiers and horses......"

After Fu finished speaking, he glanced at Huang Xian who was at the door of the main hall with his eyes. The meaning of Fu Wan is that it is recommended that Huang Xian take the scepter and axe, and then go to the tiger prison to make soldiers and horses to welcome Lu Bu into the pass.

After all, there are not many generals in his hands now, and if he doesn't have some guts, he may not be able to do it, this is one of them.

And Fu Wan has deeper considerations, Huang Xian is the person of the general Fei Qian of Zhengxi, and Fu Wan naturally knows about this matter, so if Huang Xian really does this thing, it means that Fei Qian, the general of Zhengxi, will definitely be hated by Yang Biao, and there will be no room for maneuver between the two, so even if Yang Biao rushes back to Luoyang, under the pressure of Lu Bu and Fei Qian, there will definitely be no waves.

The third aspect, after Huang Xian controlled the soldiers and horses in the Tiger Prison, if the Shandong Shi clan did something at that time, it would naturally involve Fei Qian, the general of Zhengxi, and then he could let the dog eat the dog.

The most important thing is that Fu Wan feels that although Huang Xian is conscientious, but how the forbidden soldiers need to be in their own hands, for example, their own child Fu De is a very suitable candidate, Fu Wan is also a virtuous person who does not avoid relatives, after all, a family, when the time comes, it will be natural, ah, haha......

Liu Xie listened to the words, his eyes wandered for a moment, and after a moment of silence, he nodded slowly and said, "Maybe you can give it a try......
