Chapter 394: Ten Years (4)

It seems to be a warm winter...... Of course, in the Han Dynasty, there was no such thing as global warming. \\.//People respect heaven and earth, ghosts and gods, and ancestors, all of which are not as unscrupulous and humble as the later generations. For the environment, it is not a nonsense to do whatever you want.

However, this year's winter is indeed not too cold.

In Sanfu Guanzhong, there were only two snowfalls, which seemed to be very large, but in fact there was not much snow damage.

And Jingzhao Luoyang, the snow is smaller than that in Guanzhong, but after the winter, there is a light snowfall.

The temperature is not very cold, and you don't need to wear that double-layered hat to withstand the cold. As for ordinary people, although they may not have the conditions of the rich family, they can still get through it.

In the words of the people of Luoyang: better than last year.

However, the confidence to speak is no longer as sufficient as it was during the Guanghe Zhongping period.

After countless tribulations, the former eastern capital of Luoyang City has long lost the prosperity and glory of the past. In fact, although Luoyang was under Cao Cao's rule, it was hindered by the power of Yuan Shao and others, and Cao Cao did not care much about Luoyang.

Perhaps in Cao Cao's heart, this Luoyang is carrying too deep the imprint of the Han dynasty after all, and it is not beneficial to repair it greatly.

This is just like the nature of Emperor Guangwu who destroyed Wang Mang and built the capital in Luoyang.

The emperors of the Eastern Han Dynasty continued to emphasize the status of Luoyang, but also intentionally or unintentionally downplayed the status of Chang'an. In fact, no emperor would want to have another dynasty in his dynasty.

Even the Western and Eastern Han ...... Although it is said that Emperor Guangwu claimed to be a descendant of Gaozu. But there are more people with the surname Liu Di in the world, who can say clearly?

Liu Xiu, presumably also to downplay Emperor Gaozu's great achievements.

Later, Cao Cao began the restoration project of Luoyang. Although only a little bit. In the eyes of the people of Luoyang, it seems that they have seen hope again.

The sun is shining!

It looks a little cold, but it's still quite comfortable.

At least you can see the sunshine everywhere, which makes people's hearts quite open. The renovated horse-faced city wall is heavily blue-gray. It's mottled and dotted.

The traces of the war of the past seem to have been erased and look brand new.

On the head of the city, flags were planted all over the city.

The banner hunting and hunting exhibition, revealing an incomparable solemn atmosphere.

The Flying Dragon Flag, the Flying Phoenix Flag, and the Flame Master Flag...... Wind swept the flag. The divine beast was faint, and a murderous aura came to his face.

The North Daying, West Camp and Southeast Camp, which had long been abandoned, have now been reactivated.

Flags are erected high in the camp, different colors also represent different princes, a total of seven colors, just like seven stars around. People shouted that horses neighed, and weapons were cold. In this season of slaughter, it is even more cold.

Gongsun Du, Yuan Shao, Cao Cao, Liu Bei, Sun Ce, Liu Biao...... And Xichuan Liu Zhang, due to the long distance, failed to appear in Luoyang City. However, he still sent his own representatives, his brother Liu Mao, to lead 5,000 Xichuan troops out of Sichuan to respond to Cao Cao's alliance.

How influential is Cao Cao?

Not really...... This time, Cao Cao conquered on behalf of the Emperor of the Han Dynasty. If the princes of all walks of life do not come, they should face the crusade of other princes. So even if Liu Zhang is far away in Xichuan, he doesn't dare to slack off. After all, in Hanzhong. He also has a great enemy.

At this time. The princes of all walks of life gathered in the Hall of the Garter.

Yuan Shao sent his youngest son Yuan Shang as a representative. Raised troops from Hanoi and led 150,000 troops. Among the princes of the Seven Roads. Yuan Shao's soldiers and horses are the most numerous. To say, why did Yuan Shao get up so hard.

The reason is very simple, Cao Cao wrote a letter and sent the news from the snake to Yuan Shao intact. In fact, there is only one content.

When Yuan Xi was killed, Dong Yu was in Jizhou!

Need to say anything more?

Yuan Shao is not a fool. Even if he is a fool, his subordinates are not stupid, how can he not see it?

You must know that Yuan Xi brought more than 1,000 soldiers and horses at that time, and there were generals to follow.

Han Qiong once led people to inspect the battlefield, and a battle took less than a stick of incense from beginning to end. Although Kaoru ordered people to clean up the battlefield at that time, some traces could not be erased.

The result of Han Qiong's report to Yuan Shao was that the people who attacked the second prince were by no means ordinary bandits, but well-equipped and well-trained regular troops.

Yuan Shao was suspicious of Dong Li's head at that time!

It's just that he also knows that Dong Li, who has returned to Hedong, is like a tiger returning to the mountain. With his Yuan Shao's methods, I am afraid it will be difficult to deal with. I can only endure this breath. Now that Cao Cao is in alliance, it is Yuan Shao's opportunity to avenge his second son.

It's not that Yuan Shao values Yuan Xi very much!

It should be said that this face must be earned. The son was on his own turf, and he was shot like a hornet's nest with arrows. It also forced Yuan Shao's plan to annex the Zhen family in Zhongshan failed, and this feud even surpassed Yuan Xi's death.

This time, Yuan Shao made a lot of money.

It also wanted Yuan Shang to make some famous, so he not only sent 150,000 soldiers and horses, but also gave Yuan Shang two strategists who were awarded Xu You, in addition to the generals Jiang Yiqu, Zhu Ling Zhou Ang, Wen Chou Wangmen and other more than a dozen generals Cao Cao also sent 100,000 troops this time, with Xiahou Yuan Taishi Ci as the main general, Yu Ban as the deputy general, and Hou Cheng Song Xian and other generals, the strength should not be underestimated. In comparison, the other princes and lands are a little weak...... Liu Bei personally took command, and in addition to a young scribe, he also brought a young general with him.

This young general's name is Gao Pet, the word Shaoxian, is a native of Qu'a in Yangzhou. Originally, it was the subordinate of Liu Xiang's general Zhang Ying, but after Liyang was broken, this high pet embraced Liu Xiangdi's young son, killed a bloody way from the chaotic army, and defected to Jiujiang Yan Baihu.

Gao Pet and Yan Baihu have a friendship with each other, so they also know Gao Pet's ability.

This person has a white horse and a silver gun, and he can be called a first-class hero in Liu Xuan's army. It's a pity that Zhang Ying is jealous of his ability. Suppress the development of high favors. Later, in a major war, Gao Zhong rescued Liu Miao in the chaotic army, which can be regarded as entering Liu Xuan's eyes. Since then, Gao Zhong has been Liu Xuan's personal guard, although he has been respected. but not reused.

Yan Baihu recommended Gao Pet to Liu Bei.

Liu Bei, who was worried about the lack of generals around him, was extremely excited after winning the favor.

Regardless of the opposition of Guan Yu and others, he insisted on keeping Gao Pet by his side. And in fact, Gao Pet also lived up to his high expectations.

This time, the troops were dispatched. Liu Bei only led 30,000 troops, with Guanning Guan Ping as the vanguard, Liu Quan as the rear army, and he sat in the Chinese army.

Guan Ning Guan Ping is the righteous son of Guan Yudi, and his martial arts are not bad.

And the young scribe who followed Liu Bei's side. is Sima Lang's younger brother, Sima Yi, who is known as the Tomb Tiger in Romance.

This Sima Yi took refuge with Liu Bei at the beginning of the year, and was even favored by Liu Bei.

So I took it with me, claiming that Wen has Sima Yi and Wu has a high favor, which is enough!

In this alliance, Liu Bei ranked fifth. In terms of strength, it is not very strong, but it should not be underestimated by others.

And because Liu Biao and Sun Ce lived in the south of the Yangtze River, most of their hands were mainly infantry. 20,000 each.

Come and join the Alliance. Speaking of which, the relationship between the two is not harmonious, because there have been many conflicts over the ruling power of Jiangdong. Sun Ce did not come, and only sent Sun Quan as a representative, but invited Zhou Yu to come out to assist Sun Quan.

Liu Biao personally led the troops, and in addition to a Liao Li, he was also accompanied by a young scribe.

The young man was nearly eight feet long, and his face was very good. Wearing a moon-white crane. Standing behind Liu Biao. It depends on the age. Looks like he's about 10 years old. Gently shake a folding fan in your hand. Personable, described as extraordinarily chic.

Princes of the Seven Roads. Gather an army of 400,000 and Chen soldiers in Jingzhao.

Cao Cao, as the master, personally came forward to greet everyone. After glancing at the people in this hall, he couldn't help but sigh.

In this hall, the end is full of youth.

In addition to themselves, half of them were young people. Especially under the command of Sun Ce, one is younger than the other.

"All the princes are heroes in the world, and now they are gathered together, and what they do is Dong Xiping in that pass."

Cao Cao's scene still has to say: "Dong Li's occupation of Guanzhong has become a big trouble for my Han family. If it cannot be eradicated as soon as possible and allowed to develop, it will definitely bring a lot of trouble to the Han family. Today's Xun Yu is like yesterday's strong Qin. We should join forces, abandon past grievances, and jointly suppress the national thieves, and have restored our Han dynasty. ”

Actually, everyone here knows it!

The so-called Han dynasty has long ceased to exist, and now it is just an empty shell.

But who can tell?

In this hall, it is said that there are three parties representing the bloodline of the Han family. Of course, Liu Bei's name is not good.

"What the prime minister said is extremely true!"

Everyone said in unison. But how much sincerity is in the words is naturally another matter.

Cao Cao also knew very well that it was impossible to want these people to work together. Everyone is sitting here today, and to put it bluntly, it is a good word. The world is bustling for the name, the world is bustling for profit, the ancients are honest and do not deceive me!

Gongsun Kang, who sits at the bottom, is the son of Gongsun Du, twenty-nine years old, and now the official worships Lelang Taishou.

Although this Gongsun Kang is young, he is quite capable. At the beginning of the year, when Gongsun Du and Fan Chou were anxious, it was Gongsun Kang who came up with an idea, married Ma Han, and joined forces to attack Fan Chou, so that Fan Chou was defeated and killed himself in Lelang.

As for the people who married, they were the county lords of Ma Han and Gongsun Kang.

Gongsun Kang said: "What the prime minister said is extremely true, my father was unable to come because of his ill health. However, before I left, my father had said that once the prime minister used the army, he would cooperate with Youzhou to contain the beggar army and not move for half a minute. ”

Cao Cao also understood that this was the limit of what Gongsun Du could do now.

He didn't have long to get Youzhou, and Youzhou is a bitter cold place, and in the past ten years, there have been continuous wars. In addition, he had a vicious battle with Fan Chou, although he went to the future, but his vitality was greatly damaged, and it was an important juncture when he needed to recuperate.

Sending 20,000 troops this time is already the limit of Gongsun Du.

And being able to hold back the beggar army is a great thing for Cao Cao...... Compared with Yuan Shang, who brought 150,000 soldiers and horses everywhere to show off his might, Gongsun Du's sincerity undoubtedly made Cao Cao more happy. And Yuan Shang listened to Gongsun Kang's words, his thin lips drew a line, and the corners of his mouth rose slightly.

Apparently. He didn't look down on Gongsun Kang.

Among the seven princes, Gongsun Kangdi's background is probably the lowest.

Even Liu Bei now has a county name, and he is a national surname. Although there were a few flaws in the early years, it was also said in the past. Sun Ce and Cao Cao were born in a family of eunuchs. Of course, Sun Ce's foundation is weaker in comparison. As for Liu Biao Liu Zhang, a serious Han family member, the uncle of the Han Emperor, and the Yuan family. It's a worldly family.

If it weren't for the fact that this was not Jizhou, Yuan Shang wouldn't even want to be in the same hall as Gongsun Kang.

And Gongsun Kang was contemptuous of Yuan Shangdi, but he looked very generous. After finishing speaking, he smiled at Yuan Shang.

Yuan Shang said: "But I don't know what benefits we have after seizing Guanzhong this time?" ”

As soon as one sentence came out, Frustrated Professor's face changed greatly. But Xu You sneered. As for the others, the expressions were mixed.

Cao Cao frowned, "Virtuous nephew, where did you start with this?" We are all doing things for the emperor, what are the benefits? This dispatch of troops is a conquest on behalf of the heavens, we only need to do a good job, and the emperor will naturally not treat us badly. Don't say anything more about such rebellious words. Princes. And for the sake of the general's face, Xianfu is young and careless. ”

What are you Yuan Shang?

Even if you are here, he will obediently call me a prime minister.

Cao Cao's words, even sarcastic and sarcastic, by the way, also gave Yuan Shao a big face, and the princes were very satisfied with Cao Cao's attitude, especially Liu Biao and Liu Mao, the two serious Han clan relatives.

Liu Biao twisted his beard and smiled, "Meng De doesn't need to admonish. Back then, we waited with Ben Chu when we were in Luoyang. It's also an old friend. How to compare? ”

In a word, Yuan Shang was directly beaten to the position of junior.

That meaning is clearly telling Yuan Shang: virtuous nephew. Here are your elders, learn from that Sun Quan and talk less.

put Yuan Shang's face red.

Frustrated Zhu stood up and apologized again and again, "The prime minister is on behalf of the heavens this time, and we will definitely obey the prime minister's dispatch." ”

Cao Cao smiled, "After the alliance tomorrow, we will conquer Hangu Pass." In this meeting, Zhang Lu of Hanzhong did not listen to the holy order, which is really an unforgivable sin. Youyu, Hanzhong was originally the territory of the Han Dynasty, and it was Liu Yizhou who sent troops to conquer. ”

That means: Hanzhong is yours! If you need help, we'll do it then.

Youyu is Liu Mao's character. When he heard this, he got up and thanked him, and then sat down as if nothing had happened.

Cao Cao said again: "Tomorrow will be the alliance, elected as the leader of the alliance, the princes can think about it tonight, and nominate the alliance tomorrow." ”

"That's right!"

"Okay, all the princes have come from afar, and they must be tired. I ordered someone to arrange a house in Luoyang and rest early. ”

Everyone got up, said goodbye to each other, and walked out of the Garter Hall.

Liu Biao and Liu Mao originally had real estate in Luoyang, and after Cao Cao ordered someone to sort it out, the two returned to their original place. And the Yuan family has declined due to Yuan's death that year, and Yuan Shang had to live in another courtyard, except for his confidants, all the others returned to the barracks.

Wen Chou got on his horse outside the Qingzuo Gate and was about to leave.

Xu You suddenly pulled him, glanced back, and saw Liu Bei walking out accompanied by Sima Yi and Gao Chong. Liu Bei saw Xu You and Wen Chou, and he didn't speak. He just smiled and nodded at the two.

Wen Chou took a deep breath and nodded in return.

Since they are no longer a system with each other, Liu Bei is now more self-reliant. At least on the surface, Xu You and Wen Chou are not too close. But judging from Liu Bei's actions, although his former friend has soared, he has not forgotten himself.

The stone in Xu You's heart was finally put down.

In the future, if he is too close to Liu Bei, he will definitely notice it.

The two escorted Yuan Shang home, and then went straight out of Luoyang City. Since you can't live in the city, it's better to stay in the barracks.

That night, Luoyang *** bright...... In the barracks outside the city, the sound of trumpets and fights constantly echoed, giving people a feeling of prosperity.

Liu Biao sat in the hall of the mansion, looking at this familiar scenery, and his heart was extremely nostalgic. Back then, he set out from here and left Luoyang...... After nearly ten years, I thought I would never be able to come back to Luoyang, but I didn't expect it...... With a faint sigh, Liu Biao closed his eyes.

In fact, he didn't want to be part of the alliance. Whether it is the king of the Western Han Dynasty or the emperor of the Han Dynasty, they are all descendants of his Liu family.

No matter who wins, I am afraid that it will damage the dignity of the Han family. However, does this Han family still have dignity?

I participated in it this time, but I am afraid that I will never be able to get out again. I want to leave a pure land for the Han family, but in this world, where is the pure land? Liu Biao opened his eyes, stood up, and prepared to go to the bedroom to rest. Old, really old...... At this time, a young general walked into the living room.

He has a good face, a dignified appearance, and a majestic figure.

He arched his hand and said, "My lord, someone outside asked to see him, saying that he had a distant relative and brought you a letter from home. ”
