Xuzhou Mu Liu Bei put down the edict, read another letter, and sighed to the sky.
The next Zhang Fei couldn't help but say: "Why is my brother sighing? But the Son of Heaven doesn't allow his brother to be this Xuzhou pastor? ”
Liu Bei shook his head: "I am sighing that I am not as good as Wen Yuan." ”
"Oh?" Guan Yu said movingly: "Why did my brother say this? ”
Liu Bei handed the edict to the people below, and said with a smile: "This edict of the Son of Heaven is my brother Zhang Wenyuan to welcome the Son of Heaven Yu Hongnong, and now worship the hussar general, and go to the court in the state and county. ”
Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, Mi Zhu, Jian Yong and others heard that Zhang Liao had become a hussar general, and they were all moved, Zhang Fei was dumbfounded, Guan Yu was happy, and Mi Zhu said: "There is an edict, so that the king should serve the Son of Heaven." ”
"That's how it should be." Liu Bei bowed his head, looked around again, and said: "Yun Chang, the small Ru family is all in Hedong, this time you can escort grain, rice, and cloth to Hedong to worship the Son of Heaven, and you can also visit the family." ”
Guan Yu showed a look of emotion, and slowly shook his head: "Brother, now that Xuzhou is undecided, there is Lu Bu in the west and Yuan Shu in the south, but I can't just leave." ”
Liu Bei said: "It is a big deal to worship the Son of Heaven, and I can't go in person for my brother, so I have to go there on your behalf, and I want Zizhong to go with me, and I don't worry about others." ”
"This ......," Guan Yu groaned.
Zhang Fei laughed and said: "The second brother is gone, there is me, why are you afraid of Lu Bu and Yuan Shu?" ”
Guan Yu no longer objected, Liu Bei looked at Mi Zhu again: "Zizhong, this time I have worked hard, you and Yun Chang went to the east of the river to see the Son of Heaven, but Xuzhou wants to welcome the Son of Heaven, but the road is far away from the enemy, today the edict of the son is coming, do not dare to disobey, and respect the grain, rice and cloth, in order to show loyalty." ”
"Yui." Mi Zhu bowed respectfully.
After everyone retreated, Liu Bei returned to the back hall, the smile on his face gradually disappeared, revealing a look of amazement, and he sighed.
His newly married wife, Gan, asked, "Why is the envoy sighing?" ”
Liu Bei shook his head and was silent, in fact, he couldn't say why he sighed.
……
Yanzhou, Juancheng.
Cao Cao threw the edict on the desk and snorted: "I don't want Zhang Liao to welcome the Son of Heaven, and now he is a hussar general, and he is issuing edicts everywhere, asking me to serve the court, and I want to fight with Lu Bu, which is really majestic." ”
Cheng Yu beside him sighed: "Zhang Wenyuan is the Son of Heaven, like a tiger with wings, it is not appropriate to fight with him now, he should deal with it in vain, avoid its edge, keep his light and grow in secret." ”
"Deal with ......it in vain," Cao Cao got up and wandered two steps: "My sergeant has no food and grass to eat, so how can he give him food and grass?" ”
On the other side, Xi Zhicai said: "The lord does not need to serve grain and grass, he only needs to go to the table and clearly state the difficulties of Yanzhou, and the court will understand." ”
Cheng Yu said again: "The lord is on the table, not only is it difficult to speak, but also asks the court for disaster relief. ”
Cao Cao thought about the hard days of the past six months, and his haggard face was a little depressed: "I and Lu Bu are inseparable here, Zhang Liao has the Son of Heaven today, and his power will grow, and he has a place for us to live on a safe day?" ”
"How can the lord be depressed?" Cheng Yu looked displeased, and persuaded again: "Although Zhang Liao has the Son of Heaven today, he may not be able to last long, and even suffer from it, you must know that it is not easy to coerce the Son of Heaven to make the princes, although there are hundreds of benefits, there are also hundreds of disadvantages, far from Xiang Yu, Emperor Liyi, but in the end he suffered from it and became the target of the public, there are Dong Zhuo, Wang Yun, Li Dao, Guo Yan, all of whom are coercing the Son of Heaven, and they all died here, Zhang Liao has the wind of Xiang Yu, and there is the benevolence of a woman, I expect it will not last long. ”
Xi Zhicai said: "Since the Son of Heaven has arrived in Hedong, he will return to Luoyang soon, and the lord can secretly befriend the courtiers and lead him to help, and win the heart of the Son of Heaven, which may not be able to compete with Zhang Liao." ”
Hearing the analysis of the two strategists, Cao Cao narrowed his eyes, and then said, "How about I get married to Zhang Liao first?" ”
"That's exactly how it should be." Cheng Yu and Xi Zhicai agreed in unison, and Cheng Yu said: "The lord can express the evil of Lu Bu's invasion and plunder, please worship Yanzhou Mu to control Lu Bu, if Zhang Liao protects Lu Bu, he will be criticized by the Son of Heaven and the courtiers, and there will be a gap for a long time." ”
"It's just that I can't spare Lu Bu," Cao Cao's eyes flashed fiercely: "Lu Bu's hatred for seizing the land must be begged for it, Zhang Miao and Zhang Chao must be killed to vent my hatred!" ”
Cao Cao said that there was ruthlessness in his eyes, obviously he hated Zhang Miao, a betrayed friend, the most.
Cheng Yu nodded and said: "The land of Yanzhou is the foundation of the lord, and it must be recaptured, and the lord can send protons into the court to show his loyalty and block Zhang Liao's mouth." ”
"Proton?" Cao Cao groaned: "I'm only afraid that Zhang Liao will cause harm." ”
Xi Zhicai said: "The lord is more worried, if he changes to others, he still has this concern, but Zhang Liao does not need to worry, I look at this person, he has never implicated his family, and the same is true for the enemy, not to mention that he and the prince were good, the lord can ask the prince to write a letter, and ask Zhang Liao to take care of the proton, Zhang Liao will not cause harm." ”
Cao Cao looked down, and his eldest son Cao Ang said, "Father, the child is willing to go." ”
Cao Cao looked at his eldest son and narrowed his eyes.
……
In the second year of Xingping, in March, the river thawed.
In the old capital of Luoyang, Liu Xie climbed the damaged palace and looked at it for dozens of miles, the prosperity of the past has long disappeared, replaced by ruins and broken walls everywhere, overgrown with wild grass, white bones, and no one else.
Liu Xie couldn't help crying, choked up: "The old capital has decayed so much? ”
When he drove first, he had never seen Dong Zhuo's burning of Luoyang with his own eyes, but he had heard about it, and when he saw it with his own eyes at this time, he knew how the Luoyang in his heart was decaying.
Yang Biao and other ministers looked at Dongshi from afar, and the attic of the mansions such as Shangyuanli, where they once lived, had long been turned into ashes, and the two-hundred-year-old prosperous capital had turned into ruins, and they couldn't help but cry with Liu Xie.
Fu Shou, who was following Liu Xie on the side, sighed lightly: "Today, I know why General Zhang didn't let His Majesty return to Beijing earlier, I am afraid that when I return to Beijing at that time, the weather will be cold and the ground will be freezing, and there will be nowhere to live, and Your Majesty will be sad and nostalgic......
Liu Xie nodded and looked at Zhang Liao who was accompanying him: "Zhang Qing has a heart." ”
Zhang Liao said: "In the past, Dong Zhuo burned Luoyang and fought with the Kwantung princes here, but he hated the ministers and was powerless to stop it. ”
Liu Xie sighed: "In the past, Dong Taishi was strong, who can deserve it, Zhang Qing doesn't have to blame himself, but this Luoyang is my Han capital after all, and I can't let it be abandoned, I just hope that Zhang Qing can repair the palace, move the people, and restore the prosperity of the old days." ”
Zhang Liao smiled bitterly: "The ministers will do their best, but it is not a day's work to rebuild Luoyang, and Your Majesty may need to live in Hedong for a year and a half before returning to the old capital." ”
Liu Xie's face was happy: "Can I go back to the old capital?" ”
Zhang Liao said solemnly: "It's all up to Your Majesty to decide, and if the ministers are not Li Dao and Guo Yan, how can they stop it?" Even if His Majesty wants to live in Luoyang now, the minister will never object. ”
Liu Xie said with emotion: "Zhang Qing is sincere, I know it." ”
He looked at the barren land, remembered the good days in Hedong, hesitated, and said: "Okay, the north and south palaces have been destroyed, and the court is useless here. ”
He turned to look at Yang Biao and other ministers: "What do you think?" ”
The ministers looked at the situation in Luoyang and said busily: "Only Your Majesty's order." ”
Liu Xie looked at Zhang Liao: "I know that Zhang Qing is busy with official business, but the reconstruction of the old capital is a major event, I ask Zhang Qing to lead Henan Yin and supervise the reconstruction, and I hope Zhang Qing will not be lazy." ”
Zhang Liao clenched his fists: "The minister doesn't dare to slack off." ”
On the same day, Liu Xie and Zhang Liao took the ministers to worship the Zongmiao, and they were about to rush back to Hedong, at this moment, Zhang Liao received a message and was speechless for a while.
He didn't expect Cao Cao to send his father, wife and children to Hedong, and entrusted himself to buy a house on his behalf to take care of him...... Do you really think of yourself as a babysitter?
