The 60,000 troops of the imperial court were wiped out overnight, and the chaotic soldiers ran all over the mountains. Lu Bu of Chang'an was about to lead his troops to Tongguan to defend against the imperial court soldiers and horses, and after hearing the news, he couldn't help but look up to the sky and laugh wildly, and then said to the left and right: "This is the heavens are favoring me Lu Fengxian!" With destiny in my body, who else can stop me? ”

The civil and military officials on the side were all shocked, they originally looked at Lu Bu like a monkey after taking a bath, although he was wearing human clothes and wearing a hat, he still couldn't get rid of the fact that he was a monkey. But now it seems that Lu Bu, the monkey, really seems to have a destiny!

Otherwise, why did things happen so coincidentally? Ding Yuan died, Gai Xun also died, Huangfu Song was placed under house arrest in Luoyang again, and the foundation of Guanzhong fell into the hands of Lu Bu in vain. Then, even the crusading army of the imperial court inexplicably collapsed on its own.

Can one time be said to be a coincidence, and two or three times can it still be said to be a coincidence?

In the Eastern Han Dynasty, "prophecy" was popular, that is, prophecy. Recently, there is a rule that has been widely circulated in the world, "Those who represent the Han Dynasty should be Tu Gao". Yuan Shu thought that "when Tu Gao" referred to himself, and many people thought that it referred to them. But now it seems that this "prophecy" is actually going to be on Lu Bu's body?

Looking at Lu Bu's nine-foot-tall body, many people fell into confusion. Even if it's "when Tu Gao", you can't find such a monkey, right?

The world is full of people, and there are only a few places rich in products. Guanzhong, the Central Plains, Hebei, Jingzhou, now the Central Plains has been broken, Hebei is in the middle of the competition between Zhang Yan, Gongsun Zhan, and Yuan Shao, Jingzhou Liu Biao is stagnant, so will the world really fall into the hands of Lu Bu or Liu Biao in the end?

In order to escape the war, many people moved into Jingzhou with their families, which further expanded Jingzhou's strength. But this also aroused Yuan Shu's jealousy, so when the imperial court became weaker and weaker, Yuan Shu did not directly kill Luoyang, but sent his number one general Sun Jian to attack Nanyang, which was attached to Jingzhou.

Sun Jian is known as the "Jiangdong Tiger", brave and good at fighting, and few people in the world can compare. In the first battle, he broke Nanyang's soldiers and horses, and killed Nanyang Taishou. Liu Biao immediately sent troops and horses to counterattack, but was repeatedly defeated by Sun Jian, and finally had to go deep and high, closed without fighting.

Before attacking Nanyang, Yuan Shu had promised Sun Jian that if Nanyang was defeated, Nanyang would be handed over to Sun Jian. But after Sun Jian easily set foot in the Nanyang Basin, Yuan Shu repented again. Yuan Highway has a small amount of energy, and it is not once or twice that he breaks his promise and gets fat. He made some excuses to let Sun Jian continue to lead his troops to fight, but handed over the position of Nanyang Taishou to someone else.

The so-called other person is naturally a famous person from a family like Yuan Highway. Sun Jian was put on a stand by Yuan Shu, and it seemed that he didn't mind, but continued to lead his soldiers and horses to the north to attack Yingchuan County. As for whether Sun Wentai minded or not, except for himself, others probably don't know.

After Lu Bu easily got Guanzhong and inexplicably gained a firm foothold, the situation in the world changed. The imperial court lost the soldiers and granaries in Guanzhong, and it looked like time was running out. Relying on Yingchuan, Hongnong, Henan, Chenliu and other counties alone, they could not support the 200,000 troops of the imperial court.

Dong Zhuo of Bingzhou suffered several defeats in succession and lost tens of thousands of soldiers and horses. The Xiliang Army hit his head twice in Chencang and broke his head, Yuan Shao in Hebei was entangled with Zhang Yan and others, Cao Cao in Dongjun was still fighting with the Yellow Turban Army and Taishan thieves at home and abroad, and Liu Biao in the south was beaten by Sun Jian and didn't dare to go out.......... Looking at the world, the combination of Yuan Shu and Sun Jian has become the strongest force.

From this time on, the complacent Yuan Highway could no longer suppress the ambition in his heart, and began to ask the people around him, "The Han family is declining, and time is running out." There is a proverb: those who represent the Han should be high. The fourth and third princes of my family, Tu Gao, isn't it my Yuan Highway? ”

The person being asked was either dumbfounded or ecstatic. Soon, Yuan Shu's careful thinking became known to everyone.

And in the far north, a few days after Dong Zhuo returned to Bingzhou, he heard that Lu Bubing had obtained Guanzhong without blood, and he was so angry that his liver hurt. Thinking that he Dong Zhongying was pulling Zhuang Ding and grabbing grain, he made the state full of rebellions, and sent troops twice in a row, losing troops but gaining nothing.

Lu Bu didn't do anything, and such a big piece of fat fell into the bowl. This is really more human than human, infuriating!

However, after Yan Zhong heard that Lu Bu had occupied Guanzhong, he did not show impatience as before. The strongest tooth soldier has been brought to the Western Regions by Zhao Yun, and it will be at least next year if he wants to come back. Now that the wood has been completed, he can only watch Lu Bu be proud in Chang'an.

Besides, the Guanzhong army led by Lu Bu is always easier to deal with than Huangfu Song. They have been preparing for so long, and they are ready to defeat the main force of Huangfu Song. As a result, this side was still preparing, and before it could exert its strength, the enemy on that side fell first.

What made Yan Zhong sad was Gai Xun's death. They are all from Liangzhou, Gai Xun was born in Dunhuang, and Yan Zhong was born in Hanyang, both of whom are the traditional "good sons of the six counties" of the Han family. For a long time, they were the heroes of the local area, and they were the main backbone of the military nobles in the court.

But with the rise of the scholarly family, the center of power gradually shifted to the hands of the family, and the same was true for military power. In the period of Emperor Wu, how could there be Yuan Shao and Cao Cao in the war? Well, this is not necessarily, Emperor Wu has always been very obsessed with employing people, both Wei Qinghuo was entrusted with important tasks when he was just starting out of illness, and there are also people like Li Guangli, the general of the second division.

"Yuan Gu and I are both from Xiliang, and they are about the same age, but I didn't expect him to die like this." Yan Zhong sighed and sighed, "I'm afraid I don't have a few days to live." ”

Chen Cheng glanced at Yan Zhong's red face, and said with a smile: "I think Bo Dao has an excellent complexion, and there is no problem at all in living for another thirty or forty years." ”

Yan Zhong laughed out loud and said, "I'm in my fifties, and if I live for another thirty or forty years, then I won't be eighty or ninety years old?" Life is rare for 70 years, and I am very satisfied to live to be 60 years old! ”

He took out a document from his sleeve, handed it to Chen Cheng, and said, "This is written by Lu Bu to the prince." ”

Chen Cheng took it and took a look, it said that the two sides would always be in good spirits, and there was nothing new at all. He put the paperwork down and asked, "Lu Bu wants to form an alliance with us, what does Bo Dao think?" ”

Yan Zhong asked rhetorically, "We have been preparing for so long, can the prince give up the plan to attack Guanzhong?" ”

"I can't."

"Then we naturally can't form an alliance with Lu Bu."

"Hmm, I thought Bodao would say that he would pretend to form an alliance with Lu Bu first, and when he fights with the imperial court or Dong Zhuo, we can send troops to attack."

Yan Zhong stroked his beard and said, "It's not impossible, then I'll write a reply to Lu Bu........

"Don't, I was just joking," Chen Cheng hurriedly said: "It's better not to do such a thing as betraying the alliance." ”

Yan Zhong said disappreciably: "The prince is the Liangzhou pastor of the imperial court, and Lu Bu has just been beaten into a rebel against the enemy, what can be done with some means to deal with the rebellion?" Okay, then let's send someone over to talk to him first, don't say yes, don't say no, that's okay, right? ”

"Sounds good, but who can do it? Lu Bu has a bad temper, and if he goes to Chang'an as a messenger, he may not even have his life. ”

"Jia Xu is up to the task."

Jia Xu was appointed to the ministry and had actually taken over the work of Menxia Province in an all-round way. If it weren't for him to take care of everything, Zhao Yun would not have had the opportunity to lead the troops to the battle. Jia Xu is different from Zhao Yun, who pays more attention to the tooth soldiers, in his hands, Menxia Province began to really fulfill its due duties, and took back a lot of rights from Zhongshu Province and Shangshu Province. Although there was no sign of further expansion and expansion yet, Yan Zhong was already feeling a little uncomfortable with this.

Chen Cheng immediately vetoed Yan Zhong's proposal, "Wen He is in charge of the province, and he must not leave for a while!" ”

After entering the province, Jia Xu "has no stagnation in everything, and his decision is like a stream", and the government affairs are handled quickly and well, which has relieved Chen Cheng of many tasks, and now he is a pivotal figure in Liangzhou, how can he be sent to Chang'an as a messenger?

Yan Zhong thought for a moment and asked, "What about Han Sui and Han Wenyue?" Is it enough to be a messenger? ”

“.........”

Why do you keep having trouble with Han Sui?

Chen Cheng thought about it, but it was not impossible. Han Sui also has a very high intelligence, compared to these heroes in Xiliang. Now Han Sui has nothing to do, instead of letting him wander around Yinchuan, it is better to let him go to Chang'an, even if the alliance fails in the future and the negotiations break down, then there is no need to worry, anyway, Lu Bu will not feel distressed if he cuts him down.

So the matter was settled, Yan Zhong proposed, Chen Cheng made the decision, Jia Xu used the seal, all in one go, and there was no need to leave it until the next day. Han Sui was sitting at home, and the matter just hit his head.

When he received the edict, Han Sui was depressed. You say I'm a Xiliang warlord, why did I do the messenger thing? I've been to Bingzhou before, and now I'm going to Chang'an again, am I Han Wenyue a person who specializes in running errands in your eyes?

But since the province has already sent the edict, it is not possible not to go. After complaining a few words, Han Sui packed his bags, ordered dozens of subordinates, and then set off.

In fact, although he complained a little verbally, he still had some joy in his heart. The last time he went to merge with the state, he took the opportunity to hook up with Dong Zhuo, and if he could bring Lu Bu in again this time, he would be able to form an alliance against Chen Cheng. Now that the elites of Liangzhou have been sent to the Western Regions, and the country is empty, isn't it a good time to use troops?

As soon as he thought of this, Han Sui's heart became hot. Seeing that Chen Cheng and Yan Zhong's rule in Liangzhou was becoming more and more stable, he was anxious every day. got this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, how can there be a reason not to seize the opportunity? He walked out of the south gate with his troops and left quickly, but he didn't see anyone shaking his head at his back in the crowd outside the city.

Li Xiangru's body has slimmed down a little, and the dark circles on his face have faded a lot. He was holding a yellow dog in his hand, and the little grandson next to him was also holding a dog. Behind them, two family members are following suit. Seeing the figure of Han Sui beating his horse away, Li Xiangru chuckled, reached out and touched his grandson's head, and said, "Shall we wait to go fishing by the river?" ”

The six-year-old boy raised his head and said crisply, "I don't want to fish, I want to go to school to play!" ”

"You want to go to school?" Li Xiangru was stunned for a moment, and then said with a smile; "Okay, okay, will Grandpa send you to school?"

Without thinking, the little boy said, "Good! ”
