Outside Chencang City, due to the addition of Ma Chao in the rebel army, the originally simple war became a little confusing.

Ma Chao's courage is unpredictable. Dong Zhuo's four fierce generals are all on the line, and they can't help it.

Dong Zhuo was angry, so he had to defend Chen Cangcheng, and the two sides were at a stalemate.

Dong Zhuo wanted to ask for help from Huangfu Song, who was guarding Chang'an, many times, but in the end he endured it.

In Luoyang City, the imperial capital, Liu Hong looked at a sealed war report, his face was pale.

Unexpectedly, Geng Song died, and Huangfu Song dragged on for so long, and Huangfu Song failed to break Xiliang's rebellion.

Liu Hong couldn't help but breathe a long sigh of relief in his heart, Liu Hong couldn't help but have some doubts, how could he only defend Chang'an with Huangfu Song's ability, but he was quickly relieved, this was Huangfu Song's intention.

He can create the illusion of his own incompetence, and after this battle, whether he wins or loses, Huangfu Song's reputation will inevitably be damaged.

It seems that Huangfu Song not only knows the art of war, but also knows the way to advance and retreat.

Liu Hong couldn't help frowning, such a wise general, I don't know if it is a curse or a blessing for the big man.

"Your Majesty, the seal is ready!"

Liu Hong looked up and saw that it was Xun Yu holding the seal and talking to him.

Liu Hong took over the seal from Xun Yu's hand, this seal is not an ordinary seal, but a jade seal, this jade seal is the former Qin Empire Prime Minister Li Si was ordered by the first emperor, engraved with He's bi, for the evidence of the orthodox emperors of the past dynasties.

All dynasties have dedicated this heirloom jade seal as if it were a rare treasure, and it is also an important weapon of the country.

If you get it, it symbolizes that it is ordered by the sky, and if you lose it, it shows that your qi has been exhausted.

Liu Hong in the hand to play with this heirloom seal, its radius of four inches, on the New York hand over five dragons, the front engraved with Li Si's book "by the sky, both longevity and Yongchang" eight seal characters, but one of the corners of this jade seal is obviously different from other corners, everywhere else is jade, only here to replace it with gold.

Liu Hong smiled and said to Xun Yu: "Wen Ruo, do you know why this seal is missing a corner? ”

Xun Yu was stunned for a moment, I don't know why Liu Hong would do this for himself, but since the emperor asked, he opened his mouth to tell the story.

It turned out that when Wang Mang usurped the Han Dynasty in the past, Wang Mang wanted to get this seal, so he ordered Liu Shun, the Marquis of Anyang, to go to the Queen Mother to ask for the jade seal. Liu Shun has always been loved by the Queen Mother, and Liu Shun saw the Queen Mother.

The queen mother knew that he was here to ask for a seal for the king, so she scolded angrily: "The father and son of the Wang family have all contributed to the Han family, and they have been rich and noble for many years, and they do not think about repaying their kindness, but take advantage of the convenience to seize their country and no longer care about kindness." If people are like this, dogs and pigs are not as good. You go back and tell Wang Mang that he wants to be the new emperor, change the Zhengshuo system, and make a new seal by himself, why use this unknown seal for the country?! The old widow of my Han family is going to die sooner or later, and I want to be buried with this seal! ”

Later, Wang Mang came, and the Queen Mother threw this seal to the ground, causing a corner to jump and lose. Wang Mang replaced him with gold.

Liu Hong listened to Xun Yu's words, his face showed a satisfied look, and at this moment he beckoned to Xun Yu and said, "Come, Wen Ruo, sit next to me and talk to me." ”

Xun Yu was flattered, and Liu Hong said with a smile: "Don't be nervous. ”

Liu Hong saw Xun Yu sitting on his knees opposite him, and said with a smile: "Wen Ruo, everyone in the world says that you have the talent of Wang Zuo, and the reason why I left you by my side is that I want to see if you are really what the world says." Today, it seems that you are really as rumored to be. ”

Xun Yu hurriedly leaned over and said, "Your Majesty Miao Zan, a person who is stupid, but he usually reads more books. ”

Liu Hong smiled and waved his hand and said, "Wen Ruoxiu is going to humble himself, I have something to ask you, what do you think of the newly built West Park Eighth School?" ”

Xun Yu showed hesitation on his face, but in the end he still made up his mind, gritted his teeth and said: "Your Majesty, if you want to abolish the elder and the young, I'm afraid that the big man is in danger!" ”

Xun Yu's seemingly incompatible answer made Liu Hong frown, but Liu Hong frowned not because Xun Yu answered the question, but because he really wanted to make Liu Xie the prince.

However, Xun Yu's words were like a basin of cold water poured on his head.

"Alas" Liu Hong sighed and asked: "Wen Ruo, promise me one thing, after a hundred years, take care of Xie'er for me, take care of this big Han country!" ”

Xun Yu bowed his forehead and whispered, "Do your best." ”

Liu Hong looked at Xun Yu who was kneeling on the ground, and after a long time, he smiled and said, "Okay, you go down first!" ”

Xun Yu bowed to Liu Hong three times and left.

Liu Hong opened the scroll of decree in front of him, and then picked up the jade seal and printed it on this scroll of decree, Liu Hong looked at the decree in front of him, and seemed to be finally a little more relaxed.

On the second day, Liu Yu and Liu Yan received the holy decree almost at the same time, and the holy decree appointed Liu Yu as the pastor of Youzhou and Liu Yan as the pastor of Yizhou, and took office immediately.

Not to mention the turmoil in the Han Dynasty, and to say that the imperial Youzhou, the Han chariot general Zhang Wen came to Beiping County on the right side of Youzhou all the way.

Zhang Wen was in his early forties, and after Huangfu Song was dismissed, he was filled with the vacancy of a chariot general. And the reason why he came to Youzhou today was because he was ordered by Emperor Liu Hong to come to Youbeiping to recruit 3,000 Youzhou cavalry and attack Han Sui and Ma Teng.

This Youzhou Raider has a great background, this famous Raider Force, not only helped Emperor Guangwu Liu Xiu seize the world, and made great contributions to the establishment of the Han Empire, but also became the military pillar of the entire imperial dynasty. Among the twenty-eight generals of Yuntai, Wu Han, Geng Yi, Kou Sui, Jing Dan, Gai Yan, and Wang Liang were all born in Youzhou Tuqi.

The Youzhou Assault Cavalry is good at group combat charges, and the soldiers are invincible for a while.

Moreover, this cavalry guards the border of Youzhou all the year round, and shines in the perennial battles with the Xiongnu, Xianbei, Wuhuan and other foreign races.

On this day, Zhang Wen went all the way and finally came to Youbeiping, and at this moment, Liu Zheng, the county guard of Youbeiping, had already led the county officials to wait outside the city gate for a long time.

Liu Zheng saw that Zhang Wen's horse team was coming, and hurriedly got up and stepped forward to greet him: "Liu Zheng, the right Beiping County Guard, Xiaguan, pays a visit to General Zhang. ”

Zhang Wen nodded and said, "Lord Liu, the matter is urgent, let's go to the county guard mansion to discuss!" ”

Not long after, under the leadership of Liu Zheng, Zhang Wen and others entered the Youbeiping County Guard's Mansion.

Above the hall, Zhang Wen was given the main seat by Liu Zheng, Liu Zheng had already heard that Zhang Wen came to Beiping to transfer troops, so he said: "General Zhang, wait a minute, I have ordered someone to inform the cavalry battalion, three thousand Youzhou cavalry are on the way, it must not be long before they arrive!" ”

The two chatted for a while, and Liu Zheng said, "General Zhang, I don't know if the leading general of this Youzhou Turquoise Cavalry can be decided?" ”

Zhang Wen drank a bowl of hot tea, and then said: "Some time ago, when I passed by Zhongshan County, Zhang Chun, the guard of Zhongshan County, invited himself to be a general. ”

"Oh" Liu Zheng frowned and said: "As the guard of a county, he just left, it's not good." ”

Zhang Wen nodded and said, "Yes, so I'm also hesitating." ”

Zhang Wen looked up at Liu Zheng as he spoke, "By the way, does Liu Taishou have a suitable candidate?" ”

Liu Zheng was around fifty years old, and at this moment he touched his beard and said, "General Zhang, don't say it, I really have someone to recommend to you!" ”

"Oh!" Zhang Wen came to the point of interest and said, "What person?" ”

Liu Zheng got up and said: "General, wait a minute, this person happens to be in my house today, I will call him, and you can see for yourself, my lord!" ”

After Liu Zheng finished speaking, he turned around and walked out of the lobby, and not long after Liu Zheng came back with a man, Zhang Wen looked at the man carefully, and saw that the man was wearing a white robe with a layer of silver and white armor.

A high nose bridge and thin lips. The sword eyebrows are in the sideburns, the chin is slightly bearded, and the heroic spirit is compelling.

Without waiting for Zhang Wen to ask, Liu Zheng opened his mouth and said: "General Zhang, this is the person I introduced to you, this son's name is Gongsun Zhan, and he is the son-in-law of Xia!" ”

After Liu Zheng finished speaking to Zhang Wen, he then turned back to Gongsun Chan and said, "Bo Guifa is stunned, why don't you meet General Zhang soon!" ”

This man is Gongsun Zhan who came back from outside the gate, and now that many years have passed, the young man has a little beard under his chin, and he seems more calm. Later, he married Liu Zheng's daughter and became a cavalry lieutenant in Youbeiping.

Without further ado, at this time, Gongsun Chan saluted Zhang Wen and said, "The last general, Gongsun Chan, greets the general of the chariot cavalry!" ”

Zhang Wen looked at Gongsun Chan and nodded with satisfaction, there was a cold killing aura on this kid's body, Zhang Wen said with a smile: "Come, sit down and say." ”

After Gongsun Chan thanked him, he sat aside, and Zhang Wen asked some questions about military affairs, and Gongsun Chan answered them fluently.

It didn't take long for the two to talk happily, Zhang Wen himself was also a soldier, and his reputation was only under Huangfu Song, if it weren't for this general of the chariot, he wouldn't have been able to take his turn.

After discussing for a long time, Zhang Wen finally decided to appoint Gongsun Chan as the commander of this Youzhou Turquoise, and appointed him as the captain of the Youzhou Cavalry on the spot, and Zhang Wen actually gave Gongsun Chan the charm of the governor!

The position of governor was originally an official to supervise the army, and in the early years of Emperor Guangwu of the Later Han Dynasty, because of the conquest of the Quartet, he temporarily set up the imperial history of the overseer to supervise the armies when he set out on the expedition, and dismissed the official after returning to the division.

Now, due to the outbreak of wars, the post of governor has begun to appear in large numbers, some of which are partial generals, and some are marshals of an army or the chief general of a military region.

The former is called the Governor of the Tent or the Governor of the Division, and the latter is called the Governor of the Festival, and the latter is the most influential.

And Zhang Wen gave Gongsun Chan the former, of course, after all, with Gongsun Chan's prestige and qualifications, he can't defend one side, and Zhang Wen doesn't have this right.

That night, 3,000 Youzhou cavalry arrived outside the city of Youbeiping, and the whole army rested for a day.

On the third day, the sky was slightly bright, and Gongsun Chan was in the military camp of the Youzhou Turquoise, because of Gongsun Zhan's reputation on the Youzhou border, and he had also been a soldier in the Youzhou Turquoise, so these Youzhou Turquoise Cavalry did not object to Gongsun Chan as their leader.

The sky was slightly bright, and Gongsun Zhan, who was dressed in a white robe, rode a white horse and led three thousand Youzhou horsemen to leave Youbeiping, aiming directly at Liangzhou.

The white horse is decorated with gold bonds, and it gallops northwest.

By asking whose family it is, you must not take care of your own interests.
