During the banquet, because of Long Jun's advice, Cao Cao and Yuan Shao had already regarded him as their own, and the atmosphere between the three was extremely harmonious, Yuan Shao frequently persuaded the wine in order to thank Long Jun for providing the dragon horse blood, that is, this new wine was researched by Long Jun, otherwise he would be drunk sooner or later!

The hustle and bustle of the world is for profit, the hustle and bustle of the world is for profit, three people with different identities and destined not to go together in the future, but now because of the combination of interests, they are sitting together and happy.

On the other side, Zuo Feng and others, who had been close to Luoyang, received the order of the imperial court, asking everyone to go to the post house to rest for three days, and three days later, they published a reward list at the post station, rewarding all the righteous soldiers.

Hearing the news, Zhang Fei, who was riding on a horse, immediately asked Liu Bei, "Big brother, why do you have to wait for three days?" ”

Shaking his head, Liu Bei also felt puzzled, but he didn't know much, so he could only helplessly say, "Since it is the will of the imperial court, we will follow it!" Needless to say! ”

"Whoa!"

The three brothers were silent here, but the rebels were blown up, remembering the previous gossip, they felt aggrieved, and gave them three days to say that they were resting, in fact, they were asked to go to the recruiting office to donate money.

The more he thought about it, the more angry he became, and one of them, surnamed Gan, said angrily: "What does the imperial court mean by this? All of us scattered all our wealth in order to suppress the bandits, and now that the bandits have been destroyed, the court will not send people to greet them, and let us wait for news at the post station! It is said to give three days to rest, who doesn't know what this means? Really, am I so easy to deceive? ”

"That's right! Is this an insult to deceive us? ”

The biggest difference between the Han Dynasty and later generations is that the family is in power, and anyone can comment on the administration of the court at will, not to mention these landlords!

Zhang Fei, who had already shut up, heard this, and immediately asked in a characteristic loud voice, "This leader, what do you mean by this!" ”

"Haven't you heard?"

It's really boring, Liu Bei and Guan Yu glanced at each other, Guan Yu touched his long hair and hurriedly asked, "What did you hear?" ”

"Some people say that the imperial court is going to reduce this reward, if you want to get the original reward, you have to go to the recruitment office to donate!"

Hearing this, Liu Bei's expression changed dramatically in his heart, and he asked tremblingly, "What you said is true?" ”

"Of course, these things have already spread in Dongjun, and you don't know about the direction of Jizhou?"

Shaking his head, Liu Bei was a little cold, his 1,500 troops were bought by Zhang Fei for all his family wealth, and now the three brothers' pockets are already empty, so there is still money to donate to the recruitment office? Now that the army has also been taken away, he and others are completely working for the imperial court!

Looking ahead, I found that everyone was being led by the Gan surnamed Haoqiang around Zuo Feng's carriage to ask for an explanation, Zuo Feng's guards were around the carriage, and the mutiny was about to break out, Liu Bei planned from his heart, and gave the two brothers a look to signal them to help! The three of them worked hard together and finally squeezed in front of Zuo Feng's guards.

Turning around, Liu Bei hurriedly raised his hands and signaled the leaders of the rebels to back down, because Guan Yu and Zhang Fei protected each other, the rebels were forced to retreat by the three of them!

"Liu Xuande, what do you mean?"

Seeing that he was about to arouse the anger of the people, Liu Bei hurriedly made a compilation to Gan Mo, and said with a smile, "Leader Gan will extinguish the fire for the time being, and listen to Xuande's words, is it?" ”

Glancing at Liu Bei, Gan Mo looked dissatisfied, but thinking of the exploits of his two brothers, he could only let him speak, so he said coldly, "What do you want to say, hurry up!" ”

Smiling slightly, he coughed lightly, Liu Bei didn't care about Gan Mo's attitude, and raised his hands again and shouted to the people in front of him, "Maybe there are still many leaders who don't know you, please allow me to introduce first, I am the great-great-grandson of His Excellency Emperor Xiaojing, the grandson of Liu Xiong, and the son of Liu Hong!" The will of the court may not be satisfactory today, but what do we mean by wantonly besieging the messengers of the Son of Heaven and the thieves of the Yellow Turbans? ”

As soon as they heard that Liu Bei also belonged to the royal family, everyone also thought highly of Liu Bei, especially what he said, everyone was indignant before they made this decision, after his reminder, everyone looked at each other and withdrew three steps away from the carriage!

Seeing this, the three brothers let out a long breath, and Liu Bei continued with a smile on his face: "Now although it is possible for the imperial court to reduce the reward, but the specific will has not come down, if we only rely on some rumors and one-sided words, we think that the imperial court is dishonest, and it is definitely not the work of a wise man!" We...."

Before Liu Bei's words were finished, Gan Mo hurriedly asked, "Then what is Xuande's plan?" ”

"I don't dare to say that there are suggestions, why don't you wait and see if the reward given by the imperial court is reasonable, if everyone is not satisfied, I am willing to use the military merits of our brothers to help you get promoted, is this okay?"

Hearing that Liu Bei and the three of them were willing to protect each other with their own merits, everyone felt slightly at ease, and praised Liu Bei's benevolence and righteousness, and even Gan Mo, who was the first to make trouble, also respected Liu Bei at this time, first stopped himself and others from committing crimes, and then gave them away with military merits, and secretly praised in their hearts that they were worthy of being the royal family!

After everyone dispersed, Zuo Feng, who was hiding in the carriage, walked out tremblingly with the support of the guards, thanked Liu Bei with gratitude, and promised to speak well in front of Emperor Ling, which made Liu Bei's heart bloom, and promised again and again that he would continue to appease the righteous army!

If Long Jun is here to praise Liu Bei, this move is simply killing two birds with one stone, not only winning the favor of the righteous army, but also earning Zuo Feng's guarantee, even if he gives up his merits to the righteous army, Zuo Feng will not treat him badly!

Got Zuo Feng's appreciation, Liu Bei's three brothers turned into envoys, and they also became messengers and close ministers, all the way to Luoyang City, and the three of them followed Zuo Feng's carriage! After sending everyone to the post station, Zuo Feng, who was too frightened, hurriedly returned to the palace to report to Emperor Ling what had happened on this trip.

At the same time, in the drunken immortal residence, after Yuan Shao's guards came to report, Long Jun and the three of them already knew what happened to the rebel army, Yuan Shao and Cao Cao looked at each other and smiled, and gave Long Jun a thumbs up!

"Virtuous brother's vision, admiration for brother! Before this entered the city, there were already people who were dissatisfied! ”

"That's right, it's like a god, and it's you who knows what you're talking about!"

In the face of the praise of the two, Long Jun just smiled and didn't say much, but in his heart, he attached a little importance to Liu Bei, and it seemed that it was not only himself who wanted to kill two birds with one stone!

The three of them got good news in the time, and this meal of wine was drunk until the sunset, and then Lian Jue returned to the post house, Yuan Shao and Cao Cao both had families in Luoyang City, so they sent Long Jun here and agreed to visit Luoyang together the day after tomorrow and left!

Because the Yellow Turban Rebellion had just passed and the night curfew had not been lifted, Long Jun didn't want to highlight his power, so he stayed in the post house safely, preparing to go to Xicheng tomorrow to meet Yin Zhao and Tong Fei.

There was nothing to say all night, the next day dawned, the snow began to fall in Luoyang City, the people in the city have to hide in their homes to keep warm, the originally quiet West Street, a young man in brocade fur led a horse slowly, sometimes looking to the left and sometimes looking to the right, as if looking for something!

"Damn! Where the hell did these two guys set up their mansions? Say yes West Street! Why can't I find it yet! ”

Listening to Long Jun's broken thoughts, Ryoma also snorted, as if echoing Long Jun's words. Seeing that the snow was falling heavier and heavier, and tightening the clothes on his body, Long Jun finally saw the plaque of the Yin Mansion, and hurriedly led Long Ma to step forward and knock on the door vigorously!

After a while, a young man stuck his head out of the crack in the door and asked curiously, "Who is Childe looking for?" ”

"Hurry up and report to Yin Zhao, just say that Guangling Tongjiabao is coming!"

The young man knew that his master started from Guangling, and he was also instructed to pay attention to the people coming from Guangling a few days ago, how dare he be lazy, so he hurriedly let Long Jun into the mansion, led Long Jun to the front of the main hall, and quickly went to Yin Zhaoyu to report!

Seeing that the people in Yin Zhao's mansion were still diligent and sensible, Long Jun secretly praised in his heart, and after a while, Yin Zhao and Tong Fei both came. As soon as they met, Yin Zhao and Tong Fei gave up their hands and said with a smile: "Zibo (Chengzhen) welcomes the lord!" ”

smiled bitterly, waved his hand to signal that they didn't need to be polite, Long Jun smiled and said, "You two are not easy to find this place, I almost walked all over West Street!" ”

Yin Zhao also explained with a wry smile, "The lord doesn't know, since the Yellow Turban Rebellion, the housing prices in Luoyang have been rising gradually, and this can only be obtained by virtue of our relationship in Luoyang!" ”

"I see!" Long Jun sighed, and then continued, "Zibo, can you send the gift money I asked you to give to Zhang Rang and the others a month ago?" ”

When it came to business, Yin Zhao said with a serious face, "Back to the lord, the matter has been done, a total of 120,000 yuan!" Zhang Rang and others promised that the meritorious deeds of the Lord would never have the same problem as his righteous army! You can rest assured about this matter! ”

"Hmm!"

Getting Zhang Rang's assurance, Long Jun felt a little at ease, although there is no contract guarantee in this era, and the reputation of the ten permanent servants is not very good, but this thing that has been done with money has never been bad!

After considering that there was no problem with Zhang Rang's side for the time being, Long Jun asked Tong Fei again, "Chengzhen, how are you doing over there?" ”

"Returning to the lord, according to your orders, the Suspense Hall has begun to infiltrate and expand, and one of the underground organizations in Luoyang City has been controlled by us!"

"Did you find the few people I asked you to find?"

"Back to the lord, except for Xun Yu and Xun You, who are currently in Luoyang, there is no news about the rest!"
