"Your Majesty, no."

Li Ru, who is known as Li Xian, said.

Since the news of Qin Hua's victory reached Hongnong, Emperor Xian, who stayed here, and the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty were greatly overjoyed.

was trapped in Hongnong by Fan Chou's pursuers for a long time, and then Emperor Xian fell ill due to fright and fatigue, and this southbound team stayed in Hongnong.

The families of the civil and military officials, plus the soldiers accompanying the guards, need to consume food every day, which is not at all what Hongnong can afford, so their current life is very difficult.

After hearing the news of Qin Hua's victory, someone wrote to Liu Xie, hoping to return to Chang'an.

However, Li Ru resolutely opposed this proposal, and no matter which way he considered it, he was unwilling to stay under Qin Hua's command.

"Zhonghe, why are you so opposed, it is you and..."

Liu Ai said with some frowns, he didn't have much contact with Qin Hua, but judging from the news he got, Qin Hua was by no means like Dong Zhuo, Li Dao and others.

"Definitely."

Li Ru immediately interrupted Liu Ai's words, turned his head to look at Liu Xie and said, "Qin Xuanhu has a heavy army, but he doesn't think about attacking Dong Zhuo and saving His Majesty from fire and water, it can be seen that his heart must be different. ”

Then Li Ru continued: "This person is brave and invincible, even Lu Bu can't win easily. Holding a heavy army but hiding it is waiting for an opportunity. Not to fight with Dong Zhuo is to retain his strength, which shows that his ambition is very great. ”

"Mr. Pei said..."

Liu Ai interrupted Li Ru's words again, but before he could finish speaking, he was robbed by Li Ru again.

"I have also heard of the Mr. Bei you mentioned, although this person is Li Wei's advisor, but he came to speak for His Majesty, doesn't Your Majesty think it is strange?"

"You mean..."

Liu Xie is young and young, listening to Liu Ai and Li Ru's back and forth, but in fact, he doesn't understand it very well in his heart.

However, Liu Ai immediately heard the meaning of Li Ru's words.

"Just as Lord Zongzheng thought, Mr. Nabei is most likely Qin Hua's person. I thought carefully about the plans he gave Li Dao, which seemed to be beneficial to Li Dao, but in fact, it was Qin Hua who was cheaper in the end. ”

Hearing this, Yang Biao's eyes rolled, when he listened to Li Ru, he was also thinking about what happened at that time, and the final conclusion was similar to Li Ru.

"Could it be that the old man really misjudged this person?"

Yang Biao has always been quite fond of Qin Hua, but now listening to Li Ru's analysis, this is really a person with ill intentions, and he has no loyalty to the Han family at all.

"How's that good?"

Although Liu Xie couldn't quite understand Li Ru's conversation, he still understood the conclusion, that is, Qin Hua was not credible, and he would never let him catch him.

"Now the only way to do this is to find Cao Cao, as long as Cao Cao can take the lead in welcoming Your Majesty, then Your Majesty can go to Xuchang logically. I don't think that Qin Hua would dare to snatch it blatantly, and Cao Cao would not want Qin Hua to take His Majesty away. ”

"In the past, Lu Buwei said that Qin Yiren was a strange commodity to live in, but now I seem to have become that strange thing."

Liu Xie couldn't help but sigh, and the officials cried bitterly when they heard this, and scolded themselves for being incompetent.

"Do you really want to go to Cao Cao?"

After the court meeting, Dong Cheng came to talk to Li Ru.

"Now I can only go to Cao Cao's land first, and then make plans."

"What's wrong with your voice?"

Dong Cheng couldn't think of any other way, so he could only divert the topic, because Li Ru was brought into the palace by Dong Cheng at the beginning, so the relationship between the two was not bad.

"I don't know, it may have something to do with the drugs I took to treat my face disease."

Although Li Ru ruined his appearance, he was still worried that he would be recognized by others, so he took medicine to make his voice hoarse, and changed his hair bun and clothes a little, so that even people who knew him well could not recognize him.

In addition, Li Ru has always lived in a simple place as Dong Zhuo's staff, and he has been by Liu Xie's side for so long that he has not been recognized.

Taiyuan County

The four of them were also discussing the news they had received.

They were Guo Tai, the leader of the Baibo Yellow Turban, Qubei, the right virtuous king of the Xiongnu, Han Sui, and Shangdang County Shou Zhang Yang.

"Liangzhou actually has such military strength, what should I do next?"

"I have already said that I will exchange territories with Mrs. Guo, and he will fight against Qin Hua with you, and I will fight against Yuan Shao with Zhang Junshou."

As soon as he finished speaking, Han Sui said.

"Lord Han, now Liangzhou has an army of 200,000 not counting the Qiang army, and I am afraid it will be difficult for us to deal with it."

Mrs. Guo hurriedly explained.

Zhang Yang made it clear that he and Han Sui were all the way, so now this is a three-way alliance, and his Baibo Yellow Turban seems to have the largest number of people, but he may be the weakest of them.

"I have already explained this matter, Qin Hua asked me to leave my family in Wuwei, if I just rebelled, he didn't dare to do anything to my family, if I really went to attack Liangzhou, then those who stayed in Wuwei would definitely not survive."

Seeing Han Sui's resolute words, Taibei's brows couldn't help frowning.

The original plan was for the three parties to send troops to attack Liangzhou, and after defeating Qin Hua, they would send troops to Sanfu, and it was best to capture the emperor of the Han Dynasty.

Xiongnu Shan Yu (that is, the Xiongnu King) is the Zuo Xian King and the Right Xian King, of which the Zuo Xian King is equivalent to the crown prince, is the first heir to the throne, and if he wants to become the next Xiongnu Shan Yu, he needs to establish enough merits, which is why he will try his best to ally with Guo Tai, Han Sui and others.

Now because Qin Hua suddenly showed his strength, his side became in a dilemma.

"There is no need to discuss this matter anymore, since Qin Hua has already defeated Li Dao, then he will inevitably look at Bingzhou next. You just need to hold on, you don't want Qin Hua to become bigger, you and I are not the only ones who don't want Qin Hua to become big, you just need to consume Qin Hua's military strength and drag his army in Bingzhou, we will inevitably wait for the opportunity to counterattack Liangzhou. ”

"That's all there is to it now."

Behind Taibei is the entire Xiongnu, so he should be regarded as the largest of the three forces.

After the meeting ended in a hurry, Han Sui and Zhang Yang went to support Zhang Yan, the Yellow Turban of Montenegro.

Because of the territory exchanged between Han Sui and Baibo Yellow Turban, the matter of supporting Zhang Yan now also fell on Han Sui.

However, Zhang Yan has not been doing well recently, he fought with Yuan Shao before, and the two sides won and lost each other, plus Zhang Yan is familiar with the terrain of Montenegro, if he can't fight, he will flee into the mountains, and Yuan Shao is helpless.

This is also the reason why Zhang Yan has not been exterminated until now.

It's just that there has been a change recently, because Yuan Shao's command has an extra fierce general, and that person rushes into Zhang Yan's army to rush back and forth, as if entering a no-man's land, which makes Zhang Yan's army morale drop again and again.

That person was naturally Lu Bu, after being defeated by Li Dao, Lu Bu originally wanted to go to Yuan Shu, who was the descendant of the Yuan family.

Because Yuan Shu is the son-in-law, he is the one who inherits the Yuan family in Runan.

Then the fame and wealth of the Yuan family, Yuan Shu's power has been rapidly expanded, and now he not only owns Yangzhou, but also has more than 200,000 people with armor, and even the little overlord Sun Ce has also invested in Yuan Shu's command.

At the beginning of this year, Sun Jian and Liu Biao fought in Jiangxia.

Sun Jian's opponent is still Liu Biao's henchman Huang Zu, originally Sun Jian's side could win, but he didn't want Sun Jian to be accidentally shot by a stray arrow and unfortunately died.

As soon as Sun Jian died, his army was immediately in chaos, and Huang Zu took the opportunity to lead his troops to raid and break Sun Jian's army, and even Sun Jian's body was obtained by Liu Biaojun.

Fortunately, Sun Ce's strength was superior, and in the midst of the chaos, he captured Huang Zu alone, which forced Liu Biaojun to retreat.

After that, Sun Ce exchanged Huang Zu for Sun Jian's body and brought him back to Changsha for burial, and Sun Jian's army was dispersed except for Cheng Pu and other veterans, and in desperation, Sun Ce could only join Yuan Shu's command.

Lü Bu went to seek refuge with Yuan Shu, and the letter he sent called Yuan Shu by highway (Yuan Shu's cousin), which made Yuan Shu very displeased.

In addition, he didn't like Lu Bu in the first place, so he refused Lu Bu to join.

Therefore, Lu Bu could only go to find another member of the Yuan family, that is, Yuan Shao, who was entrenched in Yizhou.

Yuan Shao accepted Lu Bu and treated him as a guest, and even brought Lu Bu with him when he crusaded against Zhang Yan.

However, Lu Bu did not have the slightest respect for Yuan Shao, and asked Yuan Shao to increase his army from time to time.

At first, when Lu Bu came to Yuan Shao, there were less than 100 people left, and later Yuan Shao increased the number to 3,000 for him, but Lu Bu was still not satisfied.

"That Lu Bu is a fierce tiger, there is a possibility of backlash at any time, please think twice."

Tian Feng has been handling internal affairs for Yuan Shao in Nanpi, and after hearing that Lu Bu came to vote, he immediately wrote a letter to Yuan Shao.

After receiving Tian Feng's letter, Yuan Shao was also very entangled, if he didn't accept Lu Bu, would it affect his reputation?

After thinking about it repeatedly, Yuan Shao still decided to continue to keep Lu Bu, after all, Lu Bu's prestige in the Tiger Prison Pass was known to the world, and if Lu Bu was under his command, it would definitely help.

However, Lu Bu did give Yuan Shao a lot of help, and after many times to Zhang Yanjun with a "seven in and seven out" (this is indeed the case in history, Zhao Yun's version is very likely to be based on Lu Bu), Zhang Yanjun's morale plummeted.

No matter which army sees people constantly fighting into their barracks, and after a big killing, they easily flee, which will lead to a big drop in morale.

Eventually, Zhang Yanjun was defeated again and fled into the Black Mountains, and Lü Bu's prestige spread among Yuan Shao's army.

When Lu Bu took advantage of his repulsion of Zhang Yan, he came to Yuan Shao again to ask for the army, but was rejected by Yuan Shao again.

"Lord, that Yuan Ben was not authentic in the first place, I waited for him to be born and died, but he did not have the slightest reward."

Seeing that Lu Bu returned to his military camp with his head down a little dejected, Hou Cheng fanned the flames on the side.

"Hmph, back then, the Yuan family was punished by Dong Zhuo, but it was the lord who avenged him, and this Yuan was too ignorant at the beginning."

Cao Xing was also very dissatisfied with Yuan Shao's approach.

But now they are under the fence, and Lu Bu can't say anything, this is Yizhou, which is Yuan Shao's territory.

Hanzhong County Taiqing Guannei

"Junshi, the spies have come to report that Qin Hua's troops are full of 300,000 people."

Zhang Lu, who was meditating, suddenly opened his eyes when he heard the news, and then closed them again.

"Just order all places to be on guard, then Qin Hua will not come to my Hanzhong in a short time."

It turned out that long before Qin Hua and Fan Chou fought against him, Zhang Lu had already received a letter from the Xiongnu Youxian King, inviting him to send troops to attack Liangzhou together.

Zhang Lu did not want to lose his troops and did not reply to the letter, but he knew that with the Xiongnu Right Xian King present, Qin Hua would not be able to pay attention to Hanzhong in a short time.

What's more, now that Qin Hua has annexed the land of Sanfu (Jingzhao County, Fufeng County, Fengyi County), the road to the outside world has been smooth, and he can completely occupy Jing, Yang, Henan, Gun, Xu, Qing and other prefectures, and there is no need to come to Hanzhong, which is easy to defend and difficult to attack.

Qin Hua's path was blocked by Dong Zhuo before, so he looked at himself, and now he should not attack his Hanzhong County again.

Zhang Lu is the grandson of Zhang Ling, Qin Hua didn't know much about the name Zhang Ling when he first heard it, but when someone told him that Zhang Ling had founded the Zhengyi League, Qin Hua immediately remembered who this person was.

Zhengyi Alliance Weidao is an important sect of Taoism in later generations, Zhengyi faction, also called Tianshi Dao.

And Zhang Ling is the first generation of Heavenly Master Dao, and later generations generally call him Zhang Daoling.

As Zhang Ling's grandson, Zhang Lu is the third generation of Heavenly Master Dao, and he is very good at spreading the Five Bucket Rice Dao, but he doesn't see the general trend of the world very clearly.

Zhang Lu thought that after Qin Hua seized Chang'an, he would not look at Hanzhong, but he didn't want Qin Hua to stop at Tongguan after driving Li Dao out of Tongguan, because his next target was to merge with Zhou and Hanzhong.

However, Zhang Lu didn't see the situation clearly, but someone saw it clearly, and that person was Liu Yan of Yizhou.

Because of the difficult journey, it was already months later when Liu Yan received the news, and when he learned that Qin Hua's military strength was far beyond reality, he immediately repaired a letter and sent it to Hanzhong, asking Zhang Lu to guard against Qin Hua.

Zhang Lu in Hanzhong was a barrier between Liu Yan and the Central Plains, and he didn't want Zhang Lu to be defeated by Qin Hua, because he knew that Qin Hua's goal was not just Hanzhong, but his Yizhou.

Sitting in Bashu, the country of abundance, Yizhou has always been a place of production, and judging from the ambitions shown by Qin Hua at present, he will inevitably use troops against Yizhou.

If he wants to keep Yizhou safe, now Liu Yan not only can't attack Zhang Lu, but he also needs to support Zhang Lu to resist Qin Hua if necessary.

But that's all for later.

Jingzhou, a grass house

The trio were drinking.

"Shang Cai (Pang Degong's words), have we looked away this time?"

Huang Chengyan raised a glass of wine and said to Pang Degong.

"What do you think?"

Pang Degong did not answer Huang Chengyan's words, but turned his head to look at Sima Hui and said.

"The three of us just heard that the Liangzhou imperial examination is very interesting, so I went, I want to see who of the three of us can take the name of the champion, could it be that the two of them really want to be successful?"

"Haha, what Decao said is very true. It's just that I didn't expect that Qin Hua actually had such strength. When we first entered Liangzhou, we found that the life of the local people was very different from what we thought at the beginning, and we never thought that Qin Hua not only had the ability to do internal affairs, but even the army had developed to such a scale. ”

"The world is in turmoil, we just want to be alone, and as for pacifying the troubled times, I will hand it over to those juniors."

As he spoke, Sima Hui looked at another grass hut outside the door, where the sound of Lang reading was heard.

Among them, there are two children who are the most serious, one is beautiful, and the other is very ordinary, even a little ugly.

They are Wolong Zhuge Liang, who is only about ten years old now, and Feng Xiao Pang Tong.
