After the fifteenth day of the lunar month, the weather continued to be clear. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info warm winter sun, which makes people feel comfortable.

In the afternoon, a young man riding a bull came from outside Hangu Pass, which caused an uproar among the defenders of Hangu Pass.

In other words, more than 700 years ago, it seems that there was also a guy riding a bull who passed through Hangu Pass, who was the guard of Hangu Pass at that time?

The current general of Hangu Pass is Xu Rong, who escaped from Tiger Prison Pass, and is the general who is best at defending the city.

It's just that after Xu Rong presided over the defense of Hangu Pass, he only heard the rumors that Lao Tzu Qingniu went to Hangu, and as for the other supporting role in the rumors, Xu Rong really didn't remember much.

Now, under the Hangu Pass, a guy riding a green ox has appeared again, and Xu Rong will not think that Lao Tzu is still here.

Among the generals' mounts, there is a kind called [Red Yak]. It's just that the [Red Yak] looks like it's all fiery red, and it's still a kind of bison posture, but the one in front of him is a proper green cow.

Qingniu, whether it is the mount of a military general, Xu Rong has not heard of it.

However, those who can ride a green ox to break through the Hangu Pass are certainly not ordinary people!

"Stop, please show the customs clearance paperwork!"

Xu Rong always paid attention to the closing wall, and there were naturally guards on duty to preside over the passage matters.

In other words, since the Allied forces in Tiger Prison Pass were scattered, it didn't take long for Hangu Pass to resume its normal level function, and it did not directly lock the connection between Guanzhong and Chang'an.

Hearing this, the young man riding the green ox took out a volume of documents from his arms, handed it to the guards at the gate, and then hugged his fists to Xu Rong on the wall and said: "Under the command of the Qingzhou Thorn History, Li Chou, the captain of the forbidden army, is hereby ordered by the lord of my family to pay tribute to His Majesty!" ”

Hearing this, the guards are not calm, and Xu Rong on the wall is not calm.

……

Tribute is the practice of the princes of the world to pay tribute to the central court since the Three Emperors and Five Emperors; It is a symbol of the authority of the Son of Heaven, and it is also the glory of the princes of the four directions to declare their identity.

Gain, since the Xia Shang, if the barbarians from all directions want to enter the court to pay tribute, they have to report first, and the court allows them to enter the court to pay tribute!

Extended to the Han Dynasty, the tributary system still existed.

In the Western Han Dynasty, the tribute was the patent of the princes and kings of the Liu family, and other assassins did not have this glory.

In the Eastern Han Dynasty, especially at the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, when the state pastoral system was prevalent, although the tribute still had the affairs of the princes, the history of a state could also be tributed.

Even, if you want to pay tribute, you can do it.

However, even though the tributary system has been somewhat liberalized, there is still nothing to do with the barbarians around it.

If the barbarians want to pay tribute, they still have to report to the imperial court, and the imperial court allows it, so that they can drive the cattle and sheep and lead the beauties to the capital to pay tribute!

However, since the funeral of the first emperor, since Dong Zhuo took charge of the court, it seems that none of the princes of the Han Dynasty has come to pay tribute.

It's no wonder that the Xiliang soldiers guarding the pass are not calm, and it is no wonder that Xu Rong is not calm.

The tribute, now it seems to be respecting the Son of Heaven, but why not bow to Dong Xiangguo?

Will Hao Meng bow to Dong Zhuo?

……

Soon, the gate of Hangu Pass was wide open, and the soldiers of the Xiliang Army welcomed Li Chou into the pass.

Although the news that Li Chou represented Hao Meng's tribute had just been reported to Chang'an by Pegasus, and Dong Xiangguo's intention had not yet come, Xu Rong did not dare to snub Li Chou.

This has nothing to do with friend or foe, but Li Chou's Hao Meng, who represents the history of this state and the princes of a place; But Dong Xiangguo represents the imperial court. There are feudal officials who pay tribute to the imperial court, will Dong Xiangguo refuse?

Li Chou walked into Hangu Pass, then rested at Hangu Pass for the night, and then went to Chang'an under the escort of a group of Xiliang soldiers to continue his tributary journey.

……

In other words, Li Chou has been away from Jinan City for several days.

When leaving Jinan City that day, if you take the waterway, at the speed of the [ship],

After a long time, Cheng Pu and the three of them bowed their heads, knelt down on one knee and bowed: "The last general will see the lord!" ”

Then, the generals in the army also knelt down and bowed: "The last general will meet the lord!" ”

Since the army is already on Sun Quan's side, it is not so easy for Wenchen to make waves.

What's more, Zhang Zhao, the long history that Sun Ce recruited at the beginning, took the lead in kneeling down as a minister after the generals in the army bowed down: "Minister, meet the lord!" ”

Then, Wenchen also knelt on the ground one after another and worshipped.

A "lord", this sets the difference between monarchs and ministers, if someone jumps out and twitters, Sun Quan can be wiped out.

At this point, Jiangdong has finally entered Sun Quan's version.

……

"Please give the order of the lord to attack Qingzhou, thinking that the lord will take revenge!"

The monarch and the ministers were decided, and Cheng Pu and the three of them came out again and asked Sun Quan for his life. It's just that this kind of request, in the eyes of the young Sun Quan, has a taste of forcing the palace?

In fact, Sun Quan must have avenged the revenge of killing his brother, but it is not at this critical moment.

However, this kind of postponement of revenge is not something that Sun Quan can say.

At this time, Mrs. Tai, who was sitting on the side, spoke.

"Generals, less than half a year after the collapse of my husband, my son Bofu was brutalized by Hao Meng in Qingzhou, the pain in my heart, the hatred in my heart, it is difficult to wash away the water of the three rivers."

"To tell the truth, I also want the generals to send troops to Qingzhou to seek justice for us; But I can't do that! ”

"When the ancestors are newly mourned, the five counties of Yangzhou will inevitably make waves, at this time the army is out, do the generals want us to lose the foundation?"

"Besides, if you go thousands of miles and go to another country, this battle has not yet started, and our Jiangdong has already lost half of it."

"Therefore, we need to take time to take revenge and think about it in the long run!"

Cheng Pu and the three of them glanced at each other, bowed down and bowed, "Huh! Obey the orders of the lady, obey the orders of the lord! ”

Cheng Pu and they naturally knew that the expedition to Qingzhou was completely to draw cakes to satisfy hunger.

The reason why the three of them never forgot to avenge Sun Ce was because of the relationship between the monarch and the minister for many years, and the other was that they wanted to use the war as an excuse to bring the whole army together, so as not to be unstable in the army.

"Obey!"

After there was no more opposition in the main hall, Sun Quan issued the first order he had just taken over.

Your Highness, civil and military officials all took a step sideways and obeyed orders.

"Order General Cheng Pu to lead the troops to Sanjiangkou to prevent Liu Jingzhou from taking advantage of the situation to seize my Changsha!"

"The last general commands!" Cheng Pu took a few steps forward and took a tiger talisman from Sun Quan's hand.

"The general must remember that the head can be broken, the blood can be shed, and the inheritance left by my father and brother to Benhou must not be lost!" Sun Quan didn't know what to think, so he specially told Cheng Pu.

Cheng Pu replied categorically: "Don't worry, as long as I, Cheng Pu, am alive for a day, Liu Biao will not want to step into Changsha!" ”

"Order General Huang Gai to lead the troops to Chaohu to set up defenses, in case Liu Bei is not satisfied if he robs Jiujiang."

"Order General Han to lead the army to inspect the six counties of Jiangdong to prevent small chaos!"
