153 and II
After receiving Dong Zhuo's order, Li Dao did not dare to slack off, he was worried that the Sun-Liu coalition army would send troops to attack him, but at this moment, he got the holy decree, and hurriedly led his headquarters to Taigu Pass.
When he arrived at Taigu Pass, Li Dao did not dare to lead his troops too close, so he restrained his men and horses, and camped far away to avoid being attacked. He just sent someone to inform Sun and Liu, and he didn't say his intention, but just said that there was a holy decree, and he wanted to enter the military camp of Sun and Liu's coalition army to read the holy decree, and asked Sun Jian and Liu Bei to prepare and come to receive the holy decree.
Naturally, someone entered the customs to report the news, and the news of the holy decree came into the report, when the news came, Liu Bei was inviting Sun Jian to the banquet, saying that he was going to the banquet, but in fact, he still ate horse meat, who let so many dead horses along the way.
Hearing that Li Dao sent someone to say that there was a holy decree, Sun Jian said: "What kind of holy decree, I'm afraid it is Dong Thief's will, the two countries are fighting, don't kill the envoys, come and knock Li Dao away." ”
"Slow!" Liu Bei raised his hand to stop Sun Jian and said: "Although it is Dong Zhuo's will, after all, in the name of the holy decree, you and I are always ministers of the imperial court and courtiers of His Majesty. ”
It is another matter to listen to it, but to do what is written in the Holy Decree or not is another matter. Sun Jian also heard this meaning, since Liu Bei and Sun Jian joined forces, the two sides were already allies, so naturally they couldn't ignore Liu Bei's opinion, so he said: "Since that's the case, let's call someone in." ”
Liu Bei said with a smile: "Brother Wentai, if I don't expect it badly, I'm afraid that Dong Zhongying will be scared by us, and I sent Li Dao here to make peace with you and me." ”
Combined with his memories of the Three Kingdoms in his previous life, Liu Bei immediately guessed Li Dao's intention.
Sun Jian didn't believe it, and said, "Peace? have fought with Dong Zhuo to this point, and they can still make peace. ”
Liu Bei didn't argue, but said, "Let Li Dao come in, and you'll know when you ask." ”
Li Dao entered, saw Liu Bei and Sun Jian, bowed to the ground, offered a holy decree, and said: "Villain Li Dao, meet the two Ming generals." ”
"General Ming." Sun and Liu, hearing this title, glanced at each other, looked at each other, and said in their hearts what kind of title is this "General Ming".
Li Dao, whose name is childish, is a native of Beidi County, Liangzhou. Li Dao was born in the army, followed Dong Zhuo in the southern and northern wars in his early years, made many military exploits, and was also a strong general among Dong Zhuo's many generals.
However, Li Dao is a contemptible person, accustomed to Yifeng, does not understand etiquette, and does not choose his words, so he has also made a lot of jokes.
For example, Li Dao was originally called Dong Zhuo "Lord Gong", but later entered Luoyang and saw other celebrities, all of whom called Dong Zhuo "Ming Gong". Dong Zhuo knew Li Dao's background, and he didn't care about the above issues with him. Others happily watched Li Dao's jokes and didn't remind him.
Therefore, Li Dao never knew that "Ming Gong" and "Lord Gong" could not be called together, and even pretended to be smart, and added the word "Ming" in front of other titles.
Later, Dong Zhuo hung up, Li Dao beat Wang Yun, entered Chang'an, and met the emperor, or "Your Majesty Ming", or "Emperor Ming".
Therefore, it is completely understandable that Li Wei called Sun Jian and Liu Bei "General Ming".
Originally, Liu Bei heard Li Dao's name, and a murderous force suddenly rose in his heart, there was a "Li Guo Rebellion" in history, and Li Dao was one of the protagonists.
But then Liu Bei gave up this idea, because Liu Bei understood that the real culprit of Li Guo's rebellion was actually Wang Yun, as long as Wang Yun, who was in power at the time, issued a pardon order, announcing the absence of the Xiliang army, and then using the famous Xiliang general and Han loyal minister Huangfu Song to lead the Xiliang army, the world would actually be peaceful.
Otherwise, even if Liu Bei killed Li Dao, as long as Wang Yun was still so stubborn, there would still be other people in the Xiliang army who pulled the flag and rebelled.
Besides, if the two countries exchange troops and don't kill them, Liu Bei will not break the rules.
Therefore, seeing that Li Dao was very respectful, Sun and Liu were not too aggressive, so they asked Li Dao to talk back.
In front, Li Dao was under the guise of a holy decree, because he was afraid that Sun Jian and Liu Bei would not see him, and he would be blamed by Dong Zhuo when he went back, and it would be difficult to make a difference. Seeing Sun and Liu, if Li Dao takes out a frame that Lao Tzu is a court envoy, it will be Li Dao's brainless, although there are two countries fighting each other, and the rule of not cutting the envoy is not killed, but it is a matter of course to make it difficult to make it, so Li Dao is condescending.
Listening to Sun and Liu call their families up to reply, Li Dao was happy in his heart, secretly said that there was a door, got up and said: "The will of the imperial court, worship Peng Hou as Qi Hou, eat 30,000 households, Qingzhou Mu. Worship Wu Cheng Hou as the pastor of Yuzhou, Xiang Guo is willing to be the son of Wu Cheng Hou as a woman. Xiangguo also asked the two Ming generals to make a list of the children of the family who could serve as assassins and county guards, and Xiangguo was all appointed. ”
When Liu Bei heard this, he was shocked, and said that Dong Zhuo had made a bloody investment, and even if Dong Zhuo was a person to win over, it was also very methodical.
named Liu Bei as the pastor of Qingzhou, but gave Liu Bei a legitimate name to rule Qingzhou. Feng Liu Bei is the Marquis of Qi, and there are 30,000 households in the city, which is nothing, but it is just a name, anyway, the entire Qi land is under the control of Liu Bei, so he will give Liu Bei the title of King of Qi, which is just a good reputation, of course, this is Liu Bei's opinion, and it does not represent the opinion of the people of this era in the late Han Dynasty on the king.
It's different for Sun Jian, Yuzhou is close to Si Li, in fact, Sun Jian is more threatening than Liu Bei. Sun Jian's Yuzhou assassination history was just recommended by Yuan Shu, and Sun Jian was named Yuzhou pastor, which gave Sun Jian the proper name of ruling Yuzhou, and married Sun Jian, and even more ate fruit to win over Sun Jian, Liu Bei and Sun Jian's marriage was to earn Sun Jian's daughter-in-law, Dong Zhuo and Sun Jian's marriage, is to send a daughter-in-law to Sun Jian, this capital can not be said to be small.
Although he knew that Sun Jian would refuse Dong Zhuo's wooing, it was a historical thing, so Liu Bei asked Sun Jian: "Does the general want to marry Dong Zhuo?" ”
When Sun Jian heard this, he took the case and said angrily: "Dong Zhuo is rebellious, overthrowing the royal family, and now he doesn't punish his three clans, but shows the whole country, I won't be blind to death, do you want to make peace with him!" ”
Li Dao was horrified, so frightened that his soul was not possessed, but he was afraid that Sun Jian would be angry and kill himself to vent his anger, and hurriedly fell to the ground, not daring to say more. Chanted: "General Ming spares his life, General Ming spares his life." ”
Sun Jian pointed at Li Dao and said angrily: "I was going to kill you to sacrifice the flag, but the two countries exchanged troops, and if I didn't kill them, I would leave you with a dog's life for the time being, go back and tell Dong Thief, tell him to wash his neck, and wait for me to cut it." ”
Liu Bei said: "Brother Wentai, don't be impatient," and said to Li Dao: "Captain Li, please also get up, after all, you are here with a holy decree, representing the face of the court and the Son of Heaven, don't do this, we are not difficult for you, so let's go." Go back and tell Dong Zhuo that General Sun and I will march into the army in a few days, and we will hunt in Luoyang with Dong Zhongying. ”
When Li Wei heard this, he got up, afraid that Sun Jian and Liu Bei would change their minds, so he hurriedly left.
When Li Dao left, seeing that Sun Jian's anger had not subsided, Liu Bei said to Sun Jian: "Brother Wentai, how is it, I am right." Brother Wentai, high wind and bright festival, loyal and brave, rare in the world, deeply admired. ”
Only then did Sun Jian open his face and said: "Dong Zhuo sent Li Dao to come to make peace, which shows his cowardice. The so-called soldiers are fast, today we will wait here for a day, tomorrow the three armies, send troops to fight Dong, and destroy this dynasty food. ”
The two of them were originally coalition forces, so naturally there was no reason to let Sun Jian march alone, Liu Bei felt his ambition, and knew that Sun Jian had won this battle, so he also said: "Brother Wentai is ambitious, although I am not talented, tomorrow, I am willing to fight the enemy with Brother Wentai." ”
Liu Bei raised the teacup in his hand, replaced the wine with tea, and toasted Sun Jian with a cup of tea, Sun Jian frowned slightly, but still took a sip, put down the teacup, and said to Liu Bei: "Xuande, this tea is also quite tasty." ”
Because Liu Bei is not used to drinking tea in this era, there are too many kinds of condiments added, so he made some tea similar to that of later generations, and drank it on weekdays, seeing Sun Jian say this, Liu Bei said: "If Brother Wentai likes it, I will send Brother Wentai some, today in the army, it is inconvenient to drink, you and I replace wine with tea, drink a cup first, wait to defeat Dong Zhuo, welcome back the Son of Heaven, and return to the old capital, Zhongxing Han Room, you and I will drink the celebration wine together." ”
Sun Jian was overjoyed when he heard this, drank the tea in the cup in one gulp, and laughed: "Okay, after defeating Dong Zhuo, let's drink the celebration wine together." ”
