Gongsun Du didn't know that Cao Cao had also left after he left the inn, and had gone to meet some people he knew well. Therefore, after re-confirming the plan to rescue Lu Zhi with Huangfu Song, Zhu Jun and others, Gongsun Du returned to the post house to have a meeting with Cao Cao, but failed to do so.

"I never thought that one day, I would be the person that others want to know!"

Gongsun Du touched his chin and smiled with a smile on his face: "However, this feeling is also quite good!" ”

The next day, Gongsun Du got up early and prepared to go to the palace to wait for the reception, but before he could leave the courtyard gate, he was stopped.

"General Duliao, if you go to the palace, you can go back directly, we haven't received an order from Your Majesty."

Gongsun Du's heart was shocked, and he understood that there was an accident, and last night Huangfu Song also swore that he would be received, even if he rescued Lu Zhi with the news of capturing and killing the Yellow Turban Thief's first Zhang Jiao and Zhang Bao, there would inevitably be a reward. But now it seems that there is something else going on.

Back in the courtyard, Gongsun Du pondered for a while, then beckoned to several personal soldiers, and said: "You go to the mansion of Huangfu Song, Zhu Jun, and Zhang Wen respectively, no, just wait outside the mansion, if the three come back, immediately ask about the situation of the court." ”

"Yes, my lord."

The six of them divided into three ways and left the post house, and at this time, the post house personnel who had been waiting at the gate of the courtyard had already left, apparently to intercept Gongsun Du.

"Will there be fraud?"

Gongsun Du thought that if Liu Hong gave an order to meet him, but he didn't arrive, then ......

Gongsun Du's face changed, and he left the post house with two more soldiers and went to the palace. As soon as you arrive at the palace, you will know whether you are summoned or not.

As soon as he arrived at the palace gate, Gongsun Du was stopped.

"Who?"

Gongsun Du arched his hand and said: "A certain is the general of Liao, and the Liaodong Taishou Gongsun Du, dare to ask the two brothers, have you received the news that Your Majesty wants to meet with you?" ”

"Nope!" The soldier at the palace gate didn't mean to give face at all, and said in a very bad tone, "Leave immediately, otherwise you will be treated as a thief!" ”

Gongsun Du's face was inconvenient, but his heart sank, he glanced at the arrows on the palace wall that were faintly shining with cold light, thanked him, and retreated.

Quickly rushed back to the post house, Gongsun Du immediately woke up Huang Qing and said, "Things may change drastically, and even a certain person will be left in Luoyang." ”

"Stay in Luoyang? House arrest? Huang Qing was taken aback and said, "Then let's hurry up now!" Leave Luoyang now! ”

Gongsun Du nodded Huang Qingqiong's nose and said, "What are you thinking?" Leave? Do you want to rebel? The current Liaodong does not yet have the ability to resist the imperial court. Just look at the yellow scarf! ”

Huang Qing looked at Gongsun Du and said confidently: "Fujun can resist the attacks of Xianbei, Fuyu and other clans, how can he be broken by the Han army, you must know that if it is not for the plague, Xianbei will be about to hit Luoyang." ”

Gongsun Du shook his head and said, "Although what you said is reasonable, the foundation of Liaodong is still weaker. ”

After speaking, seeing that Huang Qing still insisted on her face, she couldn't help sighing in her heart, understanding that this might be the opinion of most people in the army. The imperial court was almost powerless to fight back under the attack of Xianbei, so it was taken away from the land of Sanzhou, but it repeatedly suffered losses in Liaodong, no matter how you look at Liaodong, it is more powerful than the imperial court. But......

"You're ignoring three things!"

"First, Xianbei is not good at attacking cities, and the imperial court has countless siege weapons, and the advantage of defending the city will be greatly reduced, far less than the advantage when fighting against Xianbei."

"Second, the human heart! Xia Wei is brutal, and there is a business; There is no way to business, and there is a week; Over the weekend, the Spring and Autumn Warring States fought for hegemony, in fact, Zhou had lost its rule over various countries, so the first emperor destroyed the six countries and ruled the world! If the fault is not that the first emperor is cruel and unpopular with the people, how can there be a Han? Although the court is now immoral, it is still orthodox in the hearts of the people, and the yellow scarf has been destroyed, but there is no reason for this. ”

"Third, the court of today and the court of the past cannot be generalized! Although Your Majesty is still deaf, but through the Yellow Turban Cholera, the states and counties already have a good strength, if we are beaten as thieves at this time, just like the rafters that come out, we will naturally rot first and become the target of public criticism. ”

"What do you mean?" Huang Qing was not stupid, and immediately understood, but she still didn't believe it, "Do they dare not obey the orders of the imperial court to disband Xiangyong?" ”

Gongsun Du nodded affirmatively and said, "Do you think that a certain person has the intention of disbanding his army?" No! Compare your heart to your heart, and I'm afraid others will do the same! Even if there are some people who are loyal to the court and choose to dismiss the country, many more will make the same choice as us. ”

"In that case, aren't everyone just like us?" After Huang Qing finished speaking, she suddenly covered her seductive red lips, her eyes full of horror.

Gongsun Du understood what she was thinking in her heart and nodded.

"Now, you immediately return to Liaodong with a certain handwritten letter to prevent anyone from rebelling in a certain absence."

Huang Qing shook her head without the slightest hesitation, and said hurriedly: "No, Qing wants to stay with her husband!" ”

"A certain has its own way to leave, if you stay, I am afraid that people will calculate it at that time, and stay as a hostage!" Gongsun Du disagreed.

"This ......" Huang Qing was stunned, still disagreeing. Gongsun Du talked for a long time, and finally had to agree because he needed her to go back to help take care of everyone in the house.

After dawn.

Huang Qing took hundreds of personal soldiers and left reluctantly. Gongsun Du waited for the latest news in the post house with a trace of torment.

However, before waiting for the news from Huangfu Song and others, they waited for another person.

"Your Excellency is General Duliao?"

Gongsun Du looked at the person who came, nodded and said, "It's the general!" ”

"Humph!" The person who came seemed to be dissatisfied with Gongsun Du's attitude, snorted coldly, and said, "Since it's you, then come with this official, someone wants to see you!" ”

Gongsun Du had already seen his identity and refused: "I will have an appointment with Zhonglang General Huangfu Song, Zhu Jun, and Zhang Wen, I'm afraid I will let the adults go for nothing." ”

"Hehe~"

The person who came chuckled disdainfully, and said, "If you want, forget it, but what the official wants to remind you is that if you don't go, it will probably take a long time to see Your Majesty." ”

At this time, Gongsun Du was already sure that Zhang Rang and others were obstructing him, causing him to fail to receive the order to meet him, and scolded Zhang Rang and others in his heart, but he had to agree.

"Good!"

Gongsun Du replied lightly: "But please wait for a while, wait for Ben to bathe and change clothes before going, after all, Ben will be a foreign official, not as good as His Majesty's henchmen, so you should be pious." ”

"Humph! Hurry up! The person who came couldn't say anything to refute, so he could only agree unhappily.

Gongsun Du went back to the room to take a bath and change clothes, but he took the time to write a letter and asked people to bring it to Huangfu Song. Therefore, if something happens in this meeting, he will inevitably come to meet him.

Gongsun Du came to Zhang Rang's mansion with the comers, but he did not see Zhang Rang, but Zhang Rang's righteous son met with one of them and put forward some requirements that he could not agree to after receiving the support of Huangfu Song and others.

Rejecting the other party's request, Gongsun Du left Zhang Rang's mansion directly with a heavy heart.

When I returned to the post house, I met Huangfu Song and others.

Huangfu Song and others all expressed their apologies, and at the same time promised that when Lu Zhiguan was reinstated, they would unite and advise His Majesty again, and they would be rewarded.

Gongsun Du had no hope for these at this time, but he did not refuse the other party's kindness.

Unexpectedly, the next day, Lu Zhi had just been released from prison and had not yet been officially reinstated, but Gongsun Du's reward came down. But it also means that for at least a few years after that, his grandson Du will stay in Luoyang, or house arrest.
