Chapter 188: Offering the Emperor's Crown, Gift Book, Empress Liu Bei, Xu Rongmou, Cao Cao
Years later, Emperor Han Xian held a crown ceremony, and then, the Son of Heaven granted amnesty to the world, changed the year name to Xingping, and this year was the first year of Xingping.
Then Li Yu, Guo Yan, Yang Biao, and other three princes asked the Son of Heaven to choose a concubine, and the Son of Heaven cried in the Changqiu Palace:
"My mother has not yet determined the place of burial, and there is no title, how can I choose a concubine with peace of mind, and the people will say that I am an unfilial person!"
A few days later, the third prince invited the Son of Heaven to rebury the emperor's mother, Wang Meiren, to the tomb of the Emperor Ling, and added the honorific title of "Queen Linghuai".
Then, the Son of Heaven married Fu Shou, a little nobleman of the court, as a concubine, and three months later established Fu Shou as the queen, and Fu Shou's father Fu Wan became the master of the Jin Wuwei Chengjing.
At the end of the month, Yizhou Mu Liu Yan died of illness, and his son Liu Zhang ascended the throne.
He also sent Pang Xi and others to attack Zhang Lu, which was broken by Zhang Lu many times. Zhang Lu's troops were mostly in Badi, so Liu Zhang took Pang Xi as the Taishou of Bajun. Zhang Lu attacked Ba County. So he was divided into Hanzhong and educated the people with five buckets of rice.
And Liu Zhang couldn't beat Zhang Lu by himself, so he went to the imperial court, hoping that the imperial court would send troops to support Yizhou, but he hoped that the imperial court could recapture Zhang Lu for himself!
………
In Chang'an, Liu Bei and Cai Yan, Zhao Yu and a group of children for two months, once again led the two armies stationed in the tiger and leopard cavalry, the four armies and the two armies of the Flying Tiger Army from Chang'an to Tongguan!
Before leaving, Liu Bei's eldest son, the thirteen-year-old Liu Feng, asked Liu Bei to fight, but Liu Bei was too young to answer!
It's just that because of Liu Feng's invitation to fight, a kind of young general has asked Liu Bei to fight, Huang Zhong's son Huang Xu, is now more than 20 years old, and the bow and horse tactics are skillful, like Liu Bei asked for battle, Liu Bei ordered him to lead 3,000 women's troops under the tent!
Lü Meng, the son of Lü Bu, who was also nearly twenty years old, also asked Liu Bei to fight, and Liu Bei also agreed to Lü Meng's request to fight!
But said that the name of Lu Bu's son was still taken by Liu Bei, after Lu Bu's wife gave birth to a child, Lu Bu changed to Liu Bei to ask for a name, Liu Bei thought about it for a while and pranked him to name him Lu Meng, but he wanted him to compete with the real Lu Meng in the future!
Then Yan Yan's son Yan Rui also asked for his life, Ma Teng's nineteen-year-old Ma Chao, and Ma Teng's nephew Ma Dai all asked for their lives, so Liu Bei agreed to all!
It was Liu Bei who led Guan Yu, Zhang Ren, Zhang Liao, Na Duo, Zhang Ren, Ma Teng, Zhao Yun, Wen Ping, Huang Xu, Lu Meng, Yan Rui, Ma Chao, Ma Dai, and an army of 100,000 to rush to Tongguan!
Five days later, Liu Bei led the army into Tongguan and met with a group of civil and military personnel in Tongguan!
Jia Xu led Lu Bu's Black Flag Army, and Zhang Xiaozhi, Zhang Xiaoyue, Hua Xiong, Pang De, Huangfu Li and other generals have been stationed in Tongguan for nearly two years, but in these two years, Tongguan and Hangu Pass have not fought at all!
"My lord, since the lord ordered to convey the Daotong Pass a few years ago, we have sent many detailed agents to spy on the military situation in Hangu Pass.
and reported that Li Rong and Guo Yan sent a large amount of grain and grass, and allowed Xu Rong to recruit troops on the spot, but Xu Rong was unmoved and still maintained about 30,000 soldiers.
Moreover, I also found out that Cao Cao's envoys have been traveling back and forth between Hanguguan and Yanzhou more frequently recently, and it is estimated that Cao Cao is trying to persuade Xu Rong to surrender to Cao Cao! It's just that I don't know if Xu Rong has been convinced! Jia Xu introduced!
"Lord, if Xu Rong has been shaken, why didn't the lord send someone to Guguan to persuade Xu Rong to vote for the lord?" Xun You, who was with the army, opened his mouth and said!
"That's true, my lord, that's what you think!"
"So, I don't know who can be a messenger?" Liu Bei asked!
"I'm willing to go!" Xun You said!
"Okay, just work hard!" Liu Bei said!
Then Xun You took Liu Bei's letter to Hangu Pass, and Liu Bei and Jia Xu led an army of 130,000 troops to Hangu Pass to deter Xu Rong!
Hanya Sekinai!
Xu Rong did not slack off at all, and connected Xun You into the pass!
"Xun Gongda sent a letter to Guguan when the two armies were fighting, what happened?" Xu Rong was the first to ask!
"I'm here to save the general!" Xun You said with a slight smile!
"Hangu Pass is the strongest pass in the world, my friend has an army of 30,000, even if Liu Du has an army of 200,000, I am confident to hold the pass! What do you say about my life and death! Xu Rong said with a smile.
"Indeed, Hangu Pass is the Xiongguan Pass in the world, but does General Xu have a source of soldiers? Now my lord has come with an army of 150,000 to kill the generals, even if he can't defeat you, but how many soldiers can be left in Hangu Pass after the war?
However, if our lord continues to increase his troops at Hangu Pass, how much confidence will General Xu have to defend it? Even if my lord does not increase his troops, General Xu, who is outnumbered, may be able to resist Li Yu and Guo Yan?
Similarly, General Xu, who has no soldiers, will Cao Cao attach importance to the general? Wouldn't it be the way to take the general's death? Xun You was quite confident and said slowly!
Xu Rong was shocked when he heard this, his contact with Cao Cao was extremely hidden, but he never wanted to be discovered by Liu Bei.
"Xun Gongda, since you already know that I have a connection with Cao Gong, you should know that I can vote for Cao Gong at any time! Why should you be afraid of Liu Duhu? Xu Rong said!
"Why did the general deceive himself? If the general leaves the pass, my lord's 150,000 troops will follow and pursue, and the general can protect himself! And Cao Gong is now fighting with Zhang Ji and Fan Chou in the Tiger Prison, how can he save General Xu? ”
"If so, how can the envoy save my life?" Xu Rong frowned, and then said helplessly!
"Without him, under my lord's command, the general can protect himself!" Xun You said leisurely!
"Gongda knows that Rong has been waiting for a year in Hangu Pass, but he has never seen anyone under the command of Liu Gong, and Cao Cao has sent people to conspire against me several times, but I shouldn't do it? It's waiting for Liu Gonger! Xu Rong said with tears on his face!
Day and night, Xu Rong and Xun You came to Liu Bei's camp overnight, but Liu Bei secretly and warmly received Xu Rong! In the entire big tent, only Xu Rong, Xun You and Liu Bei were left!
"Today, I Liu Bei got Xu Rong, and I am very happy. So I can't wait for it today! Liu Bei said!
"Rong blocked the lord's army before, how could he be so favored by the lord? Well deserved! Xu Rong said!
"Hugh said this, what was wrong with each of us being our masters that day?" Liu Bei said!
"And it is my blessing that you may come under my command today! I only hate that I haven't been able to have a way for you, Xu Rong! Liu Bei said!
After the banquet, Liu Bei and Xu Rong arrived and fell asleep, and the next morning, the two got up, and Liu Bei talked with Xu Rong again!
"Xu Rong, yesterday I failed to invite a group of civil and military officers under my account to meet with you, but I have more important things to explain to you!" Liu Bei said!
"The lord has an order, and he will go to the soup and go to the fire!" Xu Rong is colorful!
"Previously, I came to report that Cao Cao had contacted you and wanted you to join him, but is there such a thing?" Liu Bei asked!
"This, this, but there is such a thing, but I must be loyal to the lord!" Xu Rong said with some trembling!
"Xu Rong, don't worry, it's not that I don't believe you, but because I have more important things to explain to you, but this matter is not forced!" Liu Bei said again!
"My lord, but let's talk about it!" Xu Rong said!
"Xu Rong, I want you to enter Cao Ying, and wait until the critical moment to fight back, I don't know if you are willing?" Liu Bei said!
"It's... This..."Xu Rong hesitated!
"Xu Rong, you don't need to answer me for the time being, you can think about it, and I won't let you enter the Cao camp like this, but will send an elite guard to you!" Liu Bei said again!
Then Liu Bei sent someone to send Xu Rong back to Hangu Pass, and a few days later, Liu Bei did not summon Xu Rong, let alone attack Hangu Pass.
Five days later, late at night, Xu Rong sneaked into Liu Bei's military camp again to meet Liu Bei!
"My lord, I have thought it through, and I am willing to share my worries for my lord!" Xu Rong bowed down and said!
"Such a great good!" Liu Bei was overjoyed, and then summoned Lu Bu's eldest sons Lu Meng and Ma Dai into the army to meet Xu Rong!
"Xu Rong, these two are young generals under my command, and today I will send two of them into your army, serve under you, and protect your safety.
General Xu should not underestimate the second general, although these two are young, they have the courage of ten thousand people, and I will accompany five thousand tigers and leopards to ride with you, even if there is any situation, I will definitely be able to protect you from the encirclement! Liu Bei said,
"Moreover, there are 30,000 troops in Hangu Pass, and General Xu needs elite cronies to take them away! The rest will join our army! Liu Bei added again!
In this way, that night, Xu Rong led 5,000 tigers and leopards to ride and Lu Meng and Ma Dai returned to Hangu Pass, and early the next morning, Xu Rong picked out 15,000 people who were not cronies in Hangu Pass and sent them out of the pass and handed them over to Liu Bei!
