Just when the Yellow Turban Army was no longer waging war and the world was peaceful, the holy decree from Luoyang came again.

This time it was for Yuan Shao to go to Luoyang, and the emperor wanted to praise him in person.

At the same time, Yuan Shao also inquired that Yuan Shu also received the holy decree, saying that it was to praise him for his meritorious service in protecting Youzhou.

Of course, Yuan Shao knew in his heart that the holy decree about Yuan Shu was Zhang Rang's meaning nine times out of ten.

After all, Yuan Shu has made meritorious contributions to "defending" Youzhou, so this ally of his should be congratulated in person.

It's just that the holy decree didn't mention that Zhang Liang and Huang Ye were escorted to the capital, presumably because they knew the importance of these two people in the Yellow Turban Army, and they were worried that Zhang Jiao would have other actions to kidnap these two people.

So it is also a good choice to keep them in Jizhou temporarily.

Zhao Yun originally planned to go to Luoyang with Yuan Shao, but Yuan Shao refused.

Because Zhao Yun's injury has not been completely healed, he does not plan to let him take another risk, so it is better to recuperate in Jizhou with peace of mind.

Second, if Zhao Yun goes to Luoyang this time, Zhang Rang is a thief and continues to find a way to put Zhao Yun to death, wouldn't it be very dangerous?

Therefore, the person Yuan Shao chose this time was still Wen Chou, but he was worried that the so-called alliance would make another move, and Yuan Shao brought 10,000 elite soldiers this time.

After all, the mastermind behind the alliance has not been found, and Yuan Shao doesn't know whether it will be a blessing or a curse along the way? Therefore, their own safety must be guaranteed.

After receiving the holy decree, Yuan Shao briefly instructed Yan Liang and others that day, and set off the next day.

Behind Yuan Shao and Wen Chou, there were 10,000 elite soldiers.

They were very safe on the way to Luoyang, and there was no idea for the robbers and bandits to dare to fight Yuan Shao.

So this trip was peaceful, and there was no thrilling last time at all.

Seeing that there was no danger, Yuan Shao's heart was a little lost.

He originally wanted the so-called big boss of the alliance to combine all his subordinates to fight him to the death.

It's just that Yuan Shao didn't even see a robber this time, let alone fight to the death.

Yuan Shao set off in the morning, because there were no changes on the road, and he came to Luoyang City in the evening.

It's just that when the defenders of Luoyang saw a large number of well-equipped troops, they thought that some of the princes planned to rebel and attack them.

So the whole city was directly on alert, and at the same time, the gate was closed, and it looked like a stern battle.

It wasn't until Yuan Shao appeared in the sight of those defenders and took out the holy decree given to him by the emperor that these people let down their guard.

It's just that these defenders have never seen such an elite and large-scale army, and they can't believe that this is actually Yuan Shao's subordinates for a while.

After arranging his soldiers outside the city, Yuan Shao directly entered the city with Wen Chou.

This time, instead of choosing a guest house, they were led by a duke to live in a palace in the palace.

And said that the emperor had a decree to let Yuan Shao live here for a few days, and then wait until Yuan Shu also entered the capital, and then face the saint together.

To put it bluntly, Yuan Shao was placed under house arrest in this palace and not allowed him to have any contact with outsiders.

It's just that Yuan Shao knew in his heart that this seemed to be a forbidden scope for his activities.

But if you think about it from another angle, it's another kind of protection.

Because of the mixed dragons and snakes in Luoyang City, many officials have mansions here.

And some of these officials are higher than Yuan Shao's official positions, but they are all Zhang Rang's godsons.

Once Zhang Rang plans to borrow a knife to kill people and give Yuan Shao a Hongmen banquet, Yuan Shaoke will be more than lucky.

And by leaving Yuan Shao in the palace, you can exclude those messy people.

And the guards in the palace are still under the control of Liu Wei, although Zhang Rang also has a lot of eyes and ears in the palace, but they are all palace maids and eunuchs, and the threat to Yuan Shao is not very great.

And this time, Wen Chou had a heart and brought a silver needle when he came.

Although the emperor called them here to eat and live, there was still no way to guarantee their personal safety.

Therefore, the meals sent over were all checked by Wen Chou one by one, and only then did they dare to eat them.

As night rose, just as Yuan Shao was about to fall asleep, Wen Chou suddenly said outside the door, "Lord, there is a guard who said that someone wants to see you." ”

Yuan Shao frowned and asked, "Then who can he say?" ”

Wen Chou replied, "No, that guard just said Zhao Yun, General Zhao owes his master a life." ”

Hearing this, Yuan Shao immediately fell asleep, because he knew who the person he was going to see was - "Liu Bei", the king of Zhongshan Jing.

Yuan Shao knew that Liu Bei was looking for him late at night, and there must be something important.

So after getting dressed, he and Wen Chou left under the leadership of the guards.

Yuan Shao was not worried that this guard was sent by Zhang Rang, because Zhao Yun did not tell anyone in the palace about Liu Bei's rescue of Zhao Yun.

Liu Wei definitely knew about this, but he wouldn't let others know like a loudspeaker.

As for Liu Bei himself, there is no such possibility.

In fact, Yuan Shao really wanted to meet this real "imperial relative".

Especially in Xu Shu's comment on Liu Bei, he was even more impatient.

On the way, Yuan Shao noticed that someone was looking in his direction.

I think they should be spies of Liu Wei or Zhang Rang, in order to monitor Yuan Shao's every move.

It's just that Yuan Shao doesn't care, because his relationship with Zhang Rang is destined to stand on opposite sides of each other.

If he can win over a powerful force and deal with Zhang Rang with himself, that is what Yuan Shao is happy to see.

And if Liu Wei knows, then let him know his position, at least for now, the two are standing together.

Sure enough, before Yuan Shao walked to where Liu Bei lived, the news had already been learned by Liu Wei.

After Liu Wei found out, he said softly, "Oh? Did he go to Uncle Huang? It seems that my imperial uncle can't sit still! After all, with Yuan Shao's current prestige, the forces in the capital want to be included in his command. It's a pity that Zhang Rang offended Yuan Shao, so he had to target Yuan Shu. It's a pity that Yuan Shu's approach in Youzhou is destined to start a big war between these two brothers, but I don't know who will die in the end? ”

Regarding what Yuan Shu's subordinates did to Wen Chou and others in Youzhou, it has also become known to the world.

People with long brains know in their hearts that after the affairs of the Yellow Turban Army are dealt with, it is time for their brothers to settle the accounts.

It's just that all the princes are like the people who eat melons, and what they are most happy to see is that the two Yuan are both defeated, and they can take the opportunity to expand their own strength, and then complete the goals they have set.

And Yuan Shao's side also came to a palace, which reads - King Jing's Palace.

This is the first time Yuan Shao has heard of this title, because generally the royal family will move to live outside the palace as long as they are not princes, and this is especially true as the emperor's uncle.

But Liu Bei did not take the usual path, and directly moved the mansion into the palace, and in order to appear not out of place, he specially changed the "mansion" to "palace".

At this moment, a man opened the door, walked out and said, "The prince has been waiting inside for a long time, Yuan Gong please." ”

This person is the hidden master next to Liu Bei - Huang Zhong.
