Chapter 188: The Princes of the Eastern Road

In the city of Suozao County, three or four hundred miles away from Luoyang, the original county government has long been transformed into a meeting place for princes, and soldiers of all colors and armor guard this place. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

In the past few months since the start of the army, the princes from all walks of life have continued to recruit soldiers and horses, and now the number of troops stationed in Suozao County has exceeded more than 100,000.

In the hall of the county government, Chen Liutai guarded Zhang Miao, Guangling Taishou Zhang Chao, Yanzhou Thorn Shi Liu Dai, Yuzhou Thorn Shi Kong Ling, Dongjun Taishou Qiao Mao, Shanyang Taishou Yuan Yi, Jibei Prime Minister Bao Xin and Xingfenwu General Cao Cao were all present.

In addition, there is also a special person, so Dan Yang guards Tang Xiang too much, but his face is cloudy at the moment.

Among the princes of the East Road, Zhang Miao is one of the "eight kitchens" of the party, with a high reputation, and Yuan Shao is good, and Chen Liutaishou is in charge of Suozao County, which is the host, plus he and his brother Zhang Chao have a total strength of nearly 30,000, and they are one of the largest forces among the princes, so he sits on the top.

"Gongxu, you came from Yangzhai and summoned us and others, I don't know what happened?" Zhang Miao looked at Yuzhou Thorn Shi Kong Ling and asked first.

Although these princes often held high meetings, Kong Ling came here for the first time since the oath.

Kong Ling smiled leisurely, first saluted a few princes, and then replied to Zhang Miao: "Brother Meng Zhuo, I have brought one person this time to see you. ”

He pointed to Tang Xiang beside him and said, "This is Uncle Tang Guo, the former Danyang Taishou." ”

Listening to Kong Ling's introduction, several princes present were stunned, and Zhang Miaoqi said: "Danyang Taishou Tang envoy Junwu has heard of his name for a long time, but what does this uncle say?" ”

Kong Ling said loudly: "Tang Taishou is the brother of the emperor, isn't he the uncle of the country?" ”

The princes couldn't help but change their faces slightly, they naturally knew that the Son of Heaven in Kong Ling's mouth was not Liu Xie, who was today's son, but the abolished emperor Hongnong King who raised troops to fight against the king, at least on the bright side, they only recognized the abolished emperor Liu Wei, and when they heard Kong Ling say this, they immediately understood the identity of Tang Xiang.

During this time, a piece of news spread almost throughout the entire Kanto region, Dong Zhuo's eagle dog Zhang Liaoyu killed King Hongnong, and married the princess Tang in a rebellious way, so that everyone in the Kanto region knew about it. At the same time, the news of Zhang Liao's defeat of Yuan Shao, Wang Kuang, and Cui Jun, the leaders of the Kwantung Princes' Alliance, also spread.

Therefore, today's Kwantung princes can be said to have implemented the name Zhang Liao like thunder, and many moral people have spoken out to rebuke and crusade. And because the rebellious Zhang Liao married the Tang family, even the Tang family was implicated.

Shanyang Taishou Yuan Yi looked at Kong Ling and said unhappily: "Since the emperor has returned to the rebel thief Zhang Liao, how can Tang envoy come to say from his uncle?" ”

"Not bad!" Liu Dai, the assassin of Yanzhou, echoed, and the princes present also bowed their heads one after another, agreeing with Yuan Zhizhi's statement, and the uncle's statement was too far-fetched.

Kong Ling smiled, stroked his beard and said: "You don't know, Zhang Liao's son marrying the emperor is just a rumor, the emperor has been picked up by Uncle Tang, and brought back a news, the one who killed the Son of Heaven is Dong Zhuo's nephew Dong Huang!" Zhang Liao just had a gap with Dong Huang and was framed. ”

"Oh? Is there such a thing? Zhang Miao frowned and looked at Tang Xiang: "Is that really the case?" ”

Tang Xiang nodded and said, "That's right!" ”

Dongjun Taishou Qiao Mao said: "In this way, I have wronged that Zhang Liao, Dong thief's uncle and nephew poisoned the Son of Heaven, which is really a crime, when the text is told to the world, gather heroes!" ”

"Humph!" Liu Dai, the assassin of Yanzhou, immediately retorted: "How did you wronged Zhang Liao's traitor? He aided in the abuse, sneaked up on the primordial, seized Hanoi, and made us a laughing stock in the world, and we really deserve to be killed! ”

Dongjun Taishou Qiao Mao is the nephew of the late Taiwei Qiao Xuan, who was the Yanzhou Assassin History, and is very popular, and the current Yanzhou Assassin Liu Dai is the nephew of the late Taiwei Liu Chong, and his brother Liu Miao is called the second dragon in the world, with a violent personality, once coerced Han Fu to raise troops, and has the right to supervise the East County subordinate to Yanzhou, so he often criticizes Qiao Mao, and Qiao Mao is also a person who thinks very highly of himself, and the two have a quarrel and often refute each other.

At the same time, Liu Dai and Yuan Shao were in-laws, so when he heard that Qiao Mao supported Zhang Liao, he immediately refuted it.

Seeing the two arguing, the host advocate Miao disagreed and said: "Forgive Zhang Liao what a vertical son can do, he was negligent in the initial defeat." In his words, he was quite disappreciative of the alliance leader Yuan Shao.

After the Kwantung princes raised their troops, they respected Yuan Shao as the leader of the alliance, and Yuan Shao pointed fingers at the princes from all walks of life, and appointed Cao Cao under Zhang Miao as the general of Xingfenwu to supervise the princes from all walks of life, which made the powerful Zhang Miao already dissatisfied.

As soon as Zhang Miao's words came out, his brother Zhang Chao echoed, while Cao Cao and Yuan Shao's cousin Yuan Yi frowned.

The princes of Suojube did not raise troops entirely to crusade against Dong Zhuo, but each had their own thoughts and interests, so they had only been together for a few months, and they had already quarreled with each other.

Kong Ling is still a high-level talker, likes to debate, and has no eyes, but Tang Xiang noticed the battle seen by several princes, and couldn't help but be secretly disappointed.

Jibei Prime Minister Bao Xin saw that the momentum was wrong, and hurriedly interjected: "Gongxu brought Tang Envoy here, is it to inform him of this?" ”

"Exactly!" Kong Ling said: "The Son of Heaven was killed by Dong Huang, if we are mistaken, Zhang Liao will be laughed at once the truth is revealed." Today, Uncle Tang Guo brought a handwritten letter from the emperor and queen to prove it. ”

Cao Cao, the general of the martial arts in the middle of the line, shook his head secretly, this Kong Gongxu didn't think about crusading against Dong Zhuo, and came from Yangzhai two hundred miles away, but he didn't know what to do for such a meaningless thing.

Shanyang Taishou Yuan Yu suddenly said: "The so-called name is not right, we were originally in the name of crusading against Dong Zhuo and supporting the restoration of the Son of Heaven, and Dong thief killed the Son of Heaven, so that our division was nameless, my brother Yuan Che rode for the thief to sneak attack and failed, we are in a dilemma, laughed at by the world, and now that the emperor has returned, why not invite the emperor to come to the sour date, write in blood, crusade against Dong Zhuo, spread the word to the world, we can justifiably avenge the Son of Heaven and kill Dong Zhuo!" ”

When Tang Xiang heard this, his face couldn't help but change sharply.

"Good!" Liu Dai, the assassin of Yanzhou, echoed loudly: "This plan is wonderful! ”

Zhang Miao, Zhang Chao and others also pondered, they now have no name for the teacher, it can be described as a dilemma, if there is a blood book by the emperor and queen himself, he will be able to make the heroes of the world come one after another, and they will avenge the Son of Heaven.

It's just that they can't predict what the consequences of doing this will be, because Dong Zhuo's soldiers are strong and strong, and deep down they are still unwilling to confront Dong Zhuo head-on.

"No!"

At this time, Cao Cao stood up and retorted in a loud voice: "It is already justified for us to raise volunteers to punish the riots, and now that the public is united, why should you hesitate!" Now Dong Zhuo's east of the river is undecided, it is a good opportunity to march into Luoyang, otherwise after Dong Zhuo pacified Hedong, relying on the royal family, according to the old capital, the east to the world, although there is no way, it is still enough to suffer. Now Dong Zhuo burned the palace, robbed the Son of Heaven, the sea shook, I don't know where to go, when this day died, we are just going west, a war and the world is decided, there is no need to implicate a woman, do this thing to add to the snake! ”

Hearing what Cao Cao said, the faces of several princes present were not good-looking, especially Liu Dai, Yuan Yi and Kong Ling.

Bao Xin has always supported Cao Cao, and when he heard this, he immediately said: "Meng De's words are very true, you must not hesitate anymore!" Otherwise, Dong Zhuo retreated into Hangu Pass, and with the solidity of Kui Han, how can we crusade? ”

Yuan Yi retorted: "The alliance leader has not arrived, why send troops? Although Dong thief is a great rebellion, but the Liangzhou soldiers are the sharp of the world, with our new pawns, there is no hope of victory, so that the emperor and queen come to the blood book, will be able to stimulate the generosity of the world's heroes, the same hatred of the enemy, in order to win the hope. ”

Cao Cao looked around, and saw that except for Bao Xin, those princes obviously agreed with what Yuan Yi said, and even Zhang Miao was uncertain, and couldn't help but be disappointed, sat down on the table, and said no more.

Kong Ling stroked his palms and laughed: "This is very good, I have invited the emperor and queen to come." ”

"Brother Gongxu......" Tang Xiang's face turned pale all of a sudden, he took his sister to follow Kong Ling here, he didn't expect that there would be such a thing, and he actually involved his sister.

Kong Ling laughed, looking very complacent: "Brother Tang, as long as the emperor and queen come forward, the Yingchuan Tang clan will definitely be able to get rid of the notoriety, and Dong Zhuo will die!" ”

……

In a house in Suozao County, Tang Gu listened to his father's words and couldn't help exclaiming: "What are they going to do!" A group of 2,000 stone guards crusaded against Dong Zhuo, and they wanted to involve their little aunt? What is this! No, we need to get out of here as soon as possible! ”

Tang Xiang shook his head, there are soldiers guarding this small courtyard all around, and there are 100,000 troops stationed in Suozao County, these princes want to keep them, how can they go.

Tang Gu obviously understood this, and he couldn't help but ask, "Father, my little uncle saved my life, and he cherished my little aunt so much, the child doesn't understand why you have to bring my little aunt back?" ”

At that time, after Zhang Liao rescued them under the tiger's mouth, he did not force Tang Wan to stay, but asked her to go back to see her seriously ill mother, Tang Gu wanted to tell the truth that her grandmother was not sick, but was stopped by her father.

Facing his son's questioning, Tang Xiang seemed to have aged a lot all of a sudden: "For the father is also for the Tang family, Wen Yuan helped to abuse and defeated Yuan Cheqi, so that the matter of the Guandong Haojie's crusade against Dong Zhuo came to an impasse, and then Wen Yuan will inevitably fight with other princes in the Kanto region, if the princes are defeated repeatedly, and they learn that your little aunt is married to Wen Yuan, most of them will be angry with my Tang family, and the Tang family will be in danger at that time." ”

Tang Gu was silent for a moment, and said dissatisfiedly: "But I can't let my little aunt bear the rise and fall of the Tang family alone!" ”

Tang Xiang sighed: "This move for my father is not only for the Tang family, but also for the good of your little aunt, and it is also good for Wenyuan." If he is still with your little aunt, the world will surely believe the rumor that he has poisoned King Hongnong, which will do him all kinds of harm and no good, and your little aunt will also be blamed by the world. ”

"But what now?" Tang Gu said a little anxiously: "My little uncle sent us out of Luoyang and sent someone to escort us, but we got rid of the guards, and now we can be said to be self-tied." ”

Tang Xiang sighed: "I can only take one step at a time, but fortunately, the princes of Kwantung respect their reputation, in their eyes, your little aunt is the emperor, and they don't dare to offend much." ”

Before the words fell, a person walked out of the room, it was Gu Caiying, she looked at Tang Xiang and his son, her pretty face was like frost, obviously she heard their words, and reprimanded coldly: "What a good thing your father and son have done!" If Wan'er has three longs and two shorts, she will kill your father and son with a sword first! ”

She was different from the other guards sent by Zhang Liao, she had been following Tang Wan closely, but she didn't know the way back to the Tang family, and she was deceived by Tang Xiang to come here, and she was extremely angry in her heart. And after Tang Wan left Zhang Liao, her mood has been low, and she has been sick for the past two days, and she has not found anything abnormal.

"Don't send someone to inform Wen Yuan soon!" Gu Caiying saw Tang Xiang smile bitterly, and couldn't help but reprimand angrily again.

Tang Xiang shook his head again and again: "No!" Cannot! Wen Yuan must not be allowed to know, otherwise once he arrives and lets the Kwantung princes know the truth, the little sister will lose the protection of the emperor's identity, and she will inevitably be in danger. ”

"Get out!" Gu Caiying scolded angrily: "Ji is here to protect Wan'er, who dares to harass him, what kind of blood book do you want, Ji will kill him with a sword, and your father and son can't do it!" ”

Tang Xiang has also figured out Gu Caiying's temper these days, he dared to be angry in front of Zhang Liao, but he didn't dare to offend this woman too much, and hurriedly said: "Don't act rashly, just write a blood book, if you act rashly, it will only hurt the little sister." ”

Gu Caiying: "I don't care about this, Wan'er has been sick for a few days, and she can't be hurt in any way!" That's the only reason you replied to them! ”

Tang Xiang was about to persuade again, but Tang Gu hurriedly said: "Just say that my little aunt is sick, this is a good way." ”

Tang Xiang nodded, but he was not so optimistic in his heart, seeing the situation of those princes fighting openly and secretly today, he was now extremely disappointed with the Kwantung princes.

Looking at the current situation of soldiers raging in Suozao County, messing around, and the people crying, how different is the actual behavior of these righteous princes from Dong Zhuo? (To be continued.) )
