Huang Fu Song ignored the faces of others, and said excitedly: "Calculate the time, they should also come." The Qingzhou Army has always been known for its quick movements, and the White Wave Army arrived five days ago, and the Qingzhou soldiers should have received the news at that time. Hahaha, it's good to come. ”

In the past few years, although Qingzhou has blocked the border to the outside world, everyone still faintly obtained some information about Qingzhou. Through the analysis of these information, everyone made it difficult for everyone to judge Liu Bei. On the one hand, Liu Bei did everything possible to open up the road to Chang'an and pay tribute to the imperial court according to the regulations. On the other hand, he categorically rejected the idea of the imperial court to increase the tax to Qingzhou, and even insisted on paying taxes according to the original amount even when the edict had been issued. He even arrogantly claimed that the imperial court must obtain the approval of the people to raise taxes, and in the Qingzhou territory, only the tax rate approved by the Senate is allowed to be levied.

Originally, there were not many princes who paid tribute in various places, and the court just wanted to collect some money from a few princes who paid tribute to alleviate the financial impasse of the court, but Liu Bei did not understand the difficulties of the court and refused to pay more tribute, which was a great rebellion and lawlessness for the court.

Originally, the ministers thought that Liu Bei was extremely contemptuous of the imperial court, but when Jingzhou and Xuzhou also refused to pay more tribute under Liu Bei's example, Xuzhou even arrogantly claimed that if the imperial court added to him, he would not pay a copper plate. Jingzhou said: It is better not to pay a copper plate to the imperial court. When the imperial court was helpless against Jing and Xu's arrogance, it was Liu Bei who came forward to calm the anger of the two states and instigated the two states to pay taxes according to the original taxes.

This kind of inconsistent behavior makes the ministers unpredictable.

Let's say that Liu Bei is obedient, but his deferential behavior is only reflected in paying taxes, and in terms of government decrees, he doesn't care about the opinions of the imperial court, drives out the Qingzhou officials appointed by the imperial court, and even kills the minister appointed by the imperial court, Yuan Shao, the fourth and third dukes. He also privately promulgated laws (contract laws) in his own jurisdiction, tampered with the imperial military system, appointed officials at all levels without authorization, and unscrupulously cracked down on dissidents...... There are countless kinds of irregularities in the system, which makes the imperial court (mainly ministers) angry.

However, the richness of Qingzhou has led to the imitation of local governors - it is said that in addition to Xuzhou, even Cao Mengde of Yanzhou began to copy the laws of Qingzhou. The powerful princes from all over the country joined forces, so that the weak court could not be fired.

In the end, the ministers and ministers agreed on this point: Qingzhou's powerful force allowed Liu Bei to use it, but not to use it greatly. Qingzhou's force can be used to deter the rest of the princes into submission, but Liu Bei must not be allowed to do anything wrong.

At this moment, with complicated feelings, a group of more than 20 people turned their heads and walked towards the way they came.

As the crowd got closer, the shouts of killing became louder and louder. In the wind, an agitated voice was particularly deafening: "Forward, forward, even if the Qingzhou boy falls, he must hold a sword and face the enemy formation-I am invincible, forward." ”

When it got closer, the fierce scene in front of him suddenly shook the small team of more than 20 people.

The Qingzhou soldiers obviously rushed all the way to the battlefield, there were not many people, there were no guns and spears that had grown up, they were dressed in short-range combat, round shields, short swords, small bows and crossbows. However, these Qingzhou soldiers did not back down in the face of the Liangzhou iron cavalry that clashed back and forth. Groups of ten people formed a small team, interspersed with the cavalry gaps, with swords to block the horse's hooves, with shields to block the body, the regimental body hit the galloping horses. The knight, who was knocked off his horse, was quickly cut into several pieces by his sword.

In this fierce fight, a small group of men and horses always stood outside the battlefield, surrounded by a red-armored commander. From time to time, this squad interjected to replace the next group of exhausted fighters, and the replaced soldiers, after a short rest, immediately went back to the battlefield to replace the other fighters.

The attacks of this small group of soldiers are always smashed in the weakest place of the Liangzhou soldiers. Their presence made the entire battle situation always turn with the fast-paced offensive of the Qingzhou soldiers. Looking at the entire battlefield, it seems to be a smooth waltz, retreating as this group of soldiers keeps devoting themselves. The fierce Liangzhou soldiers were overwhelmed to deal with it, and were dragged into the rhythm of the Qingzhou soldiers, helplessly dancing with their footsteps.

A little farther away, a group of cavalry was shouting an invitation to fight, like a plow cutting through the mud after the snow, interspersed with the Liangzhou soldiers. Their one-color silver armor, standard swords, and even their war horses are one-color white. This group of cavalry moved horizontally on the battlefield, flanking the Liangzhou cavalry, cutting off their response and supply to the soldiers in front, making the Liangzhou soldiers' offensive intermittent, and finally allowing the Qingzhou infantry in front to be slaughtered.

Dong Cheng, Li Le and others stopped by the river and were dazzled. The scene in front of him is like a war dance, with the constantly sounding horns, the Qingzhou soldiers interspersed with immodest movements, a killing evolution is so beautiful, so smooth, so pleasing to the eye, and addictive.

Huang Fu Song shouted loudly, the noise of the battlefield overshadowed his thin shouts, and Huang Fu Song screamed and jumped, hoarse. Finally, the guards around the red-armored general noticed the other side of the river, and when the general paid a little attention and saw the emperor's figure, he immediately turned over and knelt on the ground despite the mud, and kowtowed to this side again and again.

"It's not Liu Xuande", Huangfu Song sighed and waved to this side again.

Li Le was surprised and asked, "Why did Lord Huangfu make such a judgment?" Could it be that Liu Xuande saw the emperor and dared not kneel? ”

Huangfu Song replied softly: "That person is wearing Liu Xuande's armor, and I have seen this red armor before." But after the man knelt down, the guards around him did not kneel. If Liu Xuande is here, with his majesty, it is impossible for the people around him not to kneel.

Besides, this is a battlefield, if Liu Xuande is fighting, even if he sees the saint, he will not say hello. ”

The trumpets sounded on the other side of the river, and the Qingzhou soldiers slowed down their offensive and retreated. The Liangzhou soldiers came out to plunder, but they were suddenly attacked and put into the battlefield in batches. Both sides had the intention not to fight any longer, so they tacitly disengaged from contact.

As soon as the battle was over, the Red Armor turned around and ran towards the river, and one of the guards shook his head helplessly, waved his hand and ordered several people to follow all the way, and he stayed on the battlefield to clean up the mess.

The red armor man took off his battle helmet while running, revealing Lu Zhi's old face, and Lu Zhi, who was in tears, ran to the river and fell to the ground crying: "Is the son of heaven safe?" Lu Zhi greeted loudly with tears on his face: "Minister, so the Zhonglang general, Qingzhou veteran Lu Zhi Wangque knocked." ”

Que? Where in the wilderness is the palace, where is the que?

Lu Zhi's greetings made the emperor, who had been bullied by the warlords, lose his voice in pain. Yang Biao wept and replied on behalf of the emperor: "Di'an." ”

It's a pity that after Li Le crossed the river, in order to prevent Li Dao from crossing the river to pursue, he specially destroyed the boat. Now the two sides are separated by a river, but they are close to the end of the world.

Huangfu Song smiled bitterly and said loudly: "Duke Lu, it's almost noon, but the saint hasn't eaten yet, you have food there, find a way to send some over." ”

Lu Zhi repeatedly confessed his guilt and instructed the soldiers to cross the river and pick up the emperor.

Li Le, Han Xian, and Hu Cai discussed in a low voice, dragged Huangfu Song, and said fiercely: "Lord Huangfu, how many soldiers have come to Qingzhou, Liangzhou soldiers are good at fighting, I will wait to get out of danger, and then return to the south bank of the river, what if the Liangzhou soldiers defeat the Qingzhou soldiers?" ”

Huangfu Song did not doubt it, and asked Lu Zhi in a loud voice: "Duke Lu, you have such few soldiers, are you sure that you can defeat the Liangzhou soldiers?" I'll wait until I get out of danger and go back to the south bank, and if something happens, you will be in danger. ”

Lu Zhi lowered his head and thought about it for a while, Zhao Xiaofei came over to ask a few words, and said loudly to the other side of the river: "Brother Huangfu, my disciple Liu Bei already knows the news, and Qingzhou reinforcements are coming. In this case, for the sake of safety, I will first send a few people to swim over and send you some military rations, and the camp is sloppy, and after you have eaten enough, you will go all the way down the river. I'm protecting along this side of the river. There is an army of ours in Hangu Pass, and when we get there, I will find a boat to ferry you over, and we will be ready for help according to the pass, and we will be fine. ”

Huangfu Song discussed with the emperor for a moment and agreed with Lu Zhi's approach. After a while, 5 Qingzhou soldiers crossed the river with difficulty, fixed the rope on the river bank, and then, along the rope, more than 50 Qingzhou soldiers crossed the river with military rations to the emperor. On the south bank of the river, Xiao Fei muttered in a low voice dissatisfied: "After crossing such a broken river, I lost a lieutenant and more than 20 soldiers, which is equivalent to a small battle, what a ......."

Lu Zhi glared at Xiao Fei fiercely, knocked his complaining words back into his stomach, and asked in a deep voice, "Is the battlefield cleaned up?" What about casualties? ”

Xiao Fei replied: "170 intact war horses were captured, 213 were killed and more than 500 were wounded. Old man, nearly half of the casualties are dead, let's get out of here quickly. ”

Gongsun Chan happened to come to the river at this moment, and said in a low voice: "Master, nearly half of my casualties are also missing, I can't stay here for a long time, go quickly." ”

Lu Zhi replied in a low voice: "No matter what, we must wait for the emperor to finish eating, the saint has risen, and then we will leave." ”

Gongsun Chan groaned slightly, and suddenly withdrew his voice and shouted: "Lord Huangfu, the situation is critical, please eat while walking, don't stop." ”

There was a panic on the other side of the river, and Lu Zhi asked Xiao Fei in a low voice, "Has the lieutenant crossed the river?" ”

Xiao Fei nodded, and Lu Zhi said categorically: "I'm afraid that the little lieutenant can't suppress the minister, I will also cross the river, after I cross the river, you immediately remove the rope and go down the river." ”

Gongsun Chan did not persuade, but nodded again and again: "The teacher is alone, I will accompany the teacher over, and I will leave it all to Xiao Fei." ”

On the north bank of the river, the Qingzhou soldiers opened the package, took out many iron cans, picked up the iron cans with military tools and knives (field survival tools made of Swiss army knives), opened the cans one by one, and distributed them to the ministers. Qingzhou is still meaty, backed by the sea, and has the most canned fish. According to the Book of Changes, it is ominous to see big fish, so the people of the Central Plains did not have the habit of eating sea fish at that time. However, Liu Bei is delicious, and the taste of Qingzhou seasoning is well-known all over the world. When the tin can is opened, you can smell the aroma, and at this time, the hungry ministers can't tell whether the food is ominous or not, and they all gobble it up.

A Qingzhou soldier respectfully handed the canned food to the emperor, and the emperor stretched out his hand anxiously, and was about to take it, when Han Xian angrily attacked: "If you show your blade in front of you, you will be guilty of capital crimes." How dare you take out your sword and pick up an iron can before the Son of Heaven, go, kill yourself. ”

The Qingzhou soldier was stunned, not knowing what to do. The rest of the Qingzhou soldiers were surprised. They were originally civilians, and they had always been respectful of the emperor's supreme propaganda, but they didn't expect that they could send food to the emperor in the snow, and they could also send capital crimes.

What's wrong with the world?

In the dull atmosphere, the Qingzhou lieutenant stepped forward and bowed, and said without arrogance or humility: "This lord, the little people don't know the etiquette, and they are offended." However, according to the law, no one has the right to condemn another without trial. This soldier has the status of a meritorious citizen, and must be tried by a circuit judge specially appointed by the Qingzhou Senate to prove his guilt. If the lord finds that he is a capital crime, he can file a lawsuit with the Qingzhou Senate and ask my lord to make a decision himself. ”

Although Yang Biao was dissatisfied with Han Xian's many things, but now what the Qingzhou lieutenant said had violated the majesty of the imperial court, so he snorted coldly and said helpfully: "Law? Whoever has a law, 'no one without judgment has no right to condemn another,' the court may approve the application of such a law without a father and a king. The king told the minister to die, and the minister had to die, you know? How did your parents teach you? ”

The Qingzhou lieutenant's face was full of displeasure, and the soldier jumped up and shouted: "Parents, the parents of those who are me, and the lord of those who gave birth to me." If there was no lord, I would have died in the war and dispersion. The lord told me, 'From this day forward, every tribe and every man in this city will be equal in rank and noble!' High-ranking officials are rewarded for their merits...... Those who are in high positions will be rewarded and punished clearly, and they cannot be different from person to person (Guangrao's oath)', I am a meritorious citizen of Qingzhou, and I have sworn (the oath of citizens) since I was a child to abide by the laws of Qingzhou, and I am willing to defend this law with my death. Waiting for miscellaneous people, dare to offend the laws of Qingzhou and condemn me to death, don't you think that my knife is unfavorable? ”

In the middle of the stalemate, Lu Zhi happened to cross the river with the help of the guards, and reprimanded sharply: "Is there a loud noise in front of the emperor, lawless? ”

Qingzhou soldiers bowed and saluted, pressed their swords and glared at Li Le, Yang Biao and others, Lu Zhi asked the reason, but before he could speak, Gongsun Zhan raised his voice and laughed: "In the past, Dong Zhuo didn't know how many times he showed his sword in front of the emperor, did you reprimand Dong Zhuo like this at that time?" Today, at the noon gate, I asked Wang Situ (Wang Yun): What is the crime of the Taishi? It can be seen that Dong Taishi showed his blade in front of the emperor, and the saint still did not think it was a crime, and the children chattered endlessly, did he want to bully the king? ”

The secretary was speechless.

Didn't the emperor know what Dong Zhuo was guilty of? However, the Xiliang soldiers were under the noon gate, and Chen Daojian was in front of the emperor, and the emperor had to pretend to be crazy and stupid to sacrifice Wang Yun in order to save his life. Wang Yun understood this, so he was speechless, and went downstairs to die.

The king told the minister to die, and the minister had to die, what did Wang Yun have to say? The emperor also thought that betraying Wang Yun was a matter of course, so he had no psychological burden, and Gongsun Chan blamed him for this, which was simply a bully.

Confucianism advocates loyalty, when did the courtiers be loyal to the emperor, and when did the emperor be loyal to the courtiers?

"Who dares to make such a rebellious statement?" Yang Biao didn't know Gongsun Zhan, so he went out to reprimand him.

"General Fenwu, Jihou Gongsun Zhan." The Qingzhou lieutenant replied loudly.
