When Huangfu Song led Guo Bin and his entourage to return to Beijing, it was already February of the second year of Zhongping.

Although the Yellow Turban Rebellion has been put down, the march of the army is still strictly enforced. There are horses in front of them, and there are baggage burdens, and the army moves slowly, with a terrifying might. The march of a large army is naturally completely different from the march of a small army, and not only the organization and deployment of personnel, but also the transportation of baggage, grain and grass, flags, bells and drums, and other coarse things is a big trouble.

Fortunately, the number of beheadings in this battle was small, otherwise it would have taken a lot of time to transport the pickled thief heads. In this way, the army also traveled for nearly three months before returning to Beijing.

The Son of Heaven ordered the army to be stationed twenty miles outside the city, and ordered the meritorious generals such as Emperor Fu Song and Guo Bin to enter Beijing only with their escorts.

Guo Bin's Yue cavalry battalion is still repaired in Yangzhai County, and the 700 cavalry under his command are all his troops, so they are not stationed with Huangfu Song's army, but are stationed in the camp of the original Yue cavalry battalion. Guo Bin was escorted by his fifty iron guards and followed Huangfu Song to Luoyang City.

Huang Fu Song led a group of generals to the south gate of Luoyang City, only to see the city gate rolling outside the waves, seeing the triumphant Huang Fu Song and his party, immediately applauded. Looking carefully, most of them are Tai students, and the leader is Lu Zhi.

When Guo Bin saw it, he hurriedly rolled the saddle and dismounted, and hurried to Lu Zhi, not caring about the ceremony, only staring at him with tears in his eyes, but he couldn't say a word.

When Lu Zhi saw it, he was moved in his heart, patted Guo Bin's shoulder, and couldn't help nodding and said, "Well done!" Well done! You can save the lives of these hundreds of thousands of Han people, and everyone in the world has to thank you! I'm fine, don't worry. ”

At this time, a man dangled out behind Lu Zhi, took Guo Bin's hand, and said emotionally: "Brother Qianyang, I haven't seen you for a few months, but I want to die as a brother!" "I saw that this person has thick earlobes, slender eyes, greased lips, bright clothes, and a red face, which one is not Liu Bei? It seems that after a few months in Beijing, Liu Bei is doing well.

It turned out that the reason why Liu Bei lived so nourishingly was still due to Guo Bin. Although Lu Zhi has a high reputation, he is in prison, and his family is not rich. Therefore, Guo Bin specially instructed Huzi in Beijing to take care of him, and he must not let Lu Zhi be insulted and murdered by villains in prison.

With Guo Bin's reputation in Beijing now, if he wants to say hello to whoever he wants to protect, even the Son of Heaven will give three points of face, not to mention the little officials in prison. Moreover, Lu Zhi is a great master of Confucianism, and although his reputation in Beijing is not as good as Guo Bin's, he can't hide it from people with a heart, so no one dares to treat him as a prisoner. Everyone knows in their hearts that a "Qin criminal" like Lu Zhi will be released and reinstated in a short time.

If you want to say that Guo Bin's reputation in Beijing, it is known to taxi drivers all over the capital, but they don't know, and most of them will suddenly realize when they mention the "good money boy". In fact, Guo Bin's first reputation was because of an article "Young China Said" in Taixue when he first entered Beijing, and later he beat more than 100 people in the rivers and lakes with eight people, and he was personally summoned by the Son of Heaven. These are not counted, but later at the banquet in the mansion of He Jin, who was then Yin of Henan, he was seriously injured and fought with the second son of Yuan in Runan, who was famous as the master of Jingshi, and only a wooden stick played the second son of Yuan around.

These deeds are still the talk of the people of Beijing after dinner, and in this era of extremely scarce entertainment, such a legendary figure is undoubtedly very topical.

In the eyes of the wealthy families and even the clan in Beijing, Guo Bin is a "good money boy", from soap to wine, from military uniforms to cement, masonry and stone, all of them are a big deal with great profits. It is the pencil he made in his spare time, and it has become a luxury item that students are vying for. Therefore, in the eyes of everyone, as long as it is his Guo Bin's idea, there is nothing that makes a lot of money.

When Huzi was doing everything for Lu Zhi, he naturally had to get acquainted with Liu Bei, Lu Zhi's disciple and Han family member. With Liu Bei's ability to fool people, even the tiger who has been in Beijing all the year round was also photographed by him, and he hated seeing each other late. Therefore, when everyone in Beijing saw that this Liu Bei, who came out of nowhere, actually entered and exited Guo's mansion, they were very interested in accepting it. Liu Bei is a human spirit, so he is afraid that he will not have a chance, but now that the opportunity has come, he naturally has to firmly grasp it. Of course, those who can be fooled by Liu Bei are not real wealthy families, real wealthy families, and their ears and eyes are sensitive.

Guo Bin exchanged a few words with the famous imperial uncle in later generations, and then met Yuan Shao and Cao Cao who were standing behind.

The three of them have been separated for several months, and it is not easy to meet at this time. Yuan Shao said that he lived in seclusion in Luoyang, and he could see it as long as he entered Beijing, and Cao Cao, I heard that he was promoted to Jinan Minister because of his merit in exterminating the Yellow Turban thief, and if he wanted to meet in the future, he was afraid that it would not be so convenient.

Liu Bei saw the three of them getting together on the side, talking and laughing happily, and couldn't help but admire Guo Bin more and more. Before, Guo Bin's experience may not be known, it is because he has lived in Zhuo County for a long time, and Guo Bin is a new rise, but now, Liu Bei, who has lived in Beijing for a long time, has a backward history of Guo Bin's fortune.

Yuan Shao and Cao Cao, one is the eldest son of the Yuan family in Runan, who is the third prince of the fourth world and the protégé of the Yuan family, and the other is the famous eunuch of the Gaomen, which is the top gentleman of the Beijing Division. I only hear his name on weekdays, but I can't meet him anyway. Seeing Guo Bin talking with the two, Liu Bei naturally couldn't suppress his heart, so he stepped forward to talk to everyone.

Liu Bei is a disciple of Lu Zhi, and his scholarly views are naturally not low. In addition, he is dignified, very self-contained, and good at observing words and feelings, although it is the first time to meet Yuan Shao and Cao Cao, he is not unfamiliar at all, nor is he bored, and occasionally speaks a few witty words, which makes Guo Bin and Cao Cao and Yuan Shao amazed.

Guo Bin only admired Uncle Liu Huang in his heart, and Cao Cao and Yuan Shao saw that he was wearing a gorgeous dress made of Shu brocade, although he was not very noble, but he was extremely decent, and he was neither humble nor arrogant when talking to the three of them, and he was full of witty words, just when he was the junior of a down-and-out wealthy family, so he spoke very politely.

This meeting was not long, but it was mentioned repeatedly in the history books later. Yes, these four people who have influenced the fate of countless Chinese and the fate of the Chinese nation have experienced themselves to be legendary.

Unlike Guo Bin's elation at meeting with Yuan Shao, Cao Cao and others, Xi Zhicai watched all this coldly, and didn't say a word along the way.

The lights were on outside, and the triumph of the officers and troops on the North Road showed that the Yellow Turban Uprising, which had lasted for a year, had finally been put down. Therefore, the whole capital seems to be immersed in a joyful atmosphere, and the city is full of lights, reflecting the Beijing division at this time. If Guo Bin can overlook Luoyang City at this time in the sky, but looking at the lights everywhere, he will wonder if this is the world after two thousand years.

However, unlike the world outside the high palace walls, the atmosphere inside the palace walls is completely opposite, although it is also lit up by candles and candles. Whether it is Gong'e shuttling between the corridors, or the little yellow door that walks with candles, they all hold their breath and stare together, as if they don't even dare to breathe.

This 2,000-year-old palace city is like a prehistoric beast that has fallen down, and every breath it takes affects the fate of tens of millions of subjects living in these millions of square kilometers of land. At this time, Miyagi seemed to hold his breath, silently carrying the anger of the Son of Heaven.

The wrath of the Son of Heaven is as soon as it is.

Guo Mansion, in the study.

Guo Bin has returned from the palace, and everyone in the study is sitting or lying, deliberating.

In the study room, which is not small, Guo Bin, Xi Zhicai, Guo Jia, Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, and Guo Quan gathered together, but it was a little crowded. Guo Quan was originally in Yangzhai County, but after the Battle of Changshe, he was transferred to Changshe by Guo Bin with a letter to assist Xun Yu in deploying personnel.

After all, Xun Yu has not been serving Guo Bin for a long time, although he is very familiar with people in Yingchuan County, and all the people who are in charge of him have to give him some face, but his relationship and familiarity with the wealthy families in Yangzhai County are not as good as Guo Quan. After all, since Guo Bin started his family, Guo Quan's father Guo Yong was responsible for contacting the wealthy families of Yangzhai.

Moreover, Guo Bin's hardcore supporters and fundamental strength are all in Yangzhai County, and everyone knows the relationship between Guo Bin and Guo Quan. Therefore, when facing the wealthy families in Yangzhai County, Guo Quan's words can be worth Xun Yu's chatter for a long time. It's not that these wealthy families don't listen to Xun Yu, it's just that the efficiency of doing things is completely different. In Yangzhai County, as long as there is a handwritten letter from Guo Bin, or even a message, the major wealthy families want food and people, and there is no other word.

Therefore, in order to improve work efficiency and complete the important task of the Yellow Turban's northward migration as soon as possible, Guo Bin asked Guo Quan to assist Xun Yu, so as to complete the population migration work as quickly as possible. Because of the delay here, the construction of the three cities outside the Seychelles will be delayed for one day. It's not that a few people can freeze to death if it is completed one day later, but the logistics supply of the three cities outside the city is too much and the cost is too great. Ten stones of grain and grass were transported to the outside of the plug, and it was good to have three or two stones left, and the rest were consumed by the people on the road.

Therefore, the sooner the three cities are built and put into use, the sooner they can make a profit, and they can save a huge supply of grain and grass. Time is money, and this is when it is most vividly revealed.

However, what everyone was discussing in the study at this time was not the construction of the city outside the Saiwai, but the return of Huangfu Song to Beijing today.

With the credit of Huangfu Song, this return to Beijing is naturally to celebrate, and today, except for Lu Zhi, most of the people who came to greet him turned out to be too students, which has to make everyone wonder: Is the Son of Heaven looking at Huangfu Song unpleasant, and now he has to clean him up?

And Guo Bin entered the palace today, and naturally felt the difference in the atmosphere, until he returned to the study and read a piece of information in the hand of Xi Zhicai, Fang Chang breathed a long sigh of relief.

Please write in the newspaper: "In February of the second year of Zhongping, Nangong Yuntai disaster. Gengxu, Lechengmen disaster, extended to the north que, the west of the road burned Jiade, and the hall of Huan. The disaster of the case Yuntai has been from the top, and there are hundreds of inscriptions, and at the same time, if the county stirrup is in the county, it will be burned out in the day, extending to the White Tiger, Weixingmen, Shangshu, Fujie, and Lantai. ”
