Chapter 190: The road is narrow

Liu Xin was surprised to find that Yuan Shao's book was still written on the bamboo slips, so he couldn't help but laugh, handed it to Chen Gong casually, and said, "Gongtai, you see how to deal with this matter." ”

Chen Gong hurriedly looked at it, and arched his hand and said: "Back to the lord, although there are many princes and horses, but their hearts are different, sooner or later they will disperse, although our army is small, but it is better than the elite, tomorrow will go to the meeting as usual, why be afraid." ”

Liu Xin nodded, instructed the soldiers to reply to the visitor, and said that he was going to go to the meeting tomorrow, but asked Chen Gong again: "Gongtai, according to you, what is Yuan Shao's intention in inviting me to the meeting." ”

These days, Liu Xin always feels that he is a little lacking in the use of soldiers, relying on the "unknown prophet", and he can't intercept Dong Zhuo and Liu Xie, which is really a little unreasonable, so he began to humbly ask Chen Gong for advice, Liu Xin now wants to appoint a military advisor, he is interested in Xun Yu, but after entering Luoyang, he did not know his whereabouts, so he can only temporarily pin his hopes on Chen Gong,

Chen Gong picked up the bamboo slip and looked at it again, and said: "Back to the lord, Dong Zhuo has fled to Chang'an, and now most of Luoyang City is under the control of my Jingzhou army, and Yuan Shao now proposes to meet with the lord, it must be for the belonging of Luoyang." ”

Liu Xin pondered, in history, Luoyang was burned clean by a fire, and the people in the city were also moved to Chang'an, and now because of their own efforts, most of the houses in Luoyang City have survived, and even the palace has only been burned to a third, as the capital of the country, although Luoyang has suffered serious damage from Dong Zhuo, but its approximate scale is still there, for Yuan Shao and these people, it is undoubtedly very attractive, Chen Gong's views are worthy of serious consideration,

In the evening, Kuai Yue finally rushed back from Yique Pass, he not only brought a large amount of grain and grass, but also brought a person.

Zhang Ren since Liu Xin's trust to stay in Yique Pass, do not dare to have a moment of relaxation, every day will personally go to the front of the pass, after the pass inspection, these two days, one after another, some people through the Yique Pass south, to Yingchuan, Nanyang area to avoid the war, almost no one is north to Luoyang, Zhang Ren ordered, for every person who clears the customs, must be carefully screened, in case there are annihilation mixed in,

Just yesterday afternoon, a big man suddenly came, asking to clear the customs and go north, this abnormal behavior immediately attracted the attention of the guards,

When Zhang Ren heard the news, he immediately rushed over, looked at the big man and asked, "Now that the war in Luoyang is in full swing, what are you going to do in the north." ”

The big man said without thinking: "Hurry up and let me pass, I'm in a hurry to go to Wenhou." ”

When Zhang Ren heard that he was ashamed to say that he was going to defect to Lu Bu, his face changed suddenly, and he shouted: "Come on, arrest him." ”

The big man was caught off guard, and he was caught, and his mouth was still arrogant and crying out for wrongs,

Zhang Ren sneered: "We are Jingzhou's army, how can we allow you to vote for Lu Bu, you say, what has wronged you." ”

"What, you are the army of Jingzhou." The big man was taken aback, his expression was stunned, it turned out that Yique Pass was no longer under Dong Zhuo's control, and he couldn't help but sigh, "I didn't expect that I, Gao Shun, would do a stupid thing to throw myself into the net." ”

It turned out that Gao Shun learned a martial arts, and wanted to seek a background, he couldn't catch up with the battle of the Yellow Turban in the previous imperial court, and now he heard that there was a big battle in the area of the Tiger Prison Pass, so he rushed to join the army, and he heard that Lu Bu was a hero, and even Guan Yu, who killed Hua Xiong, almost died under his halberd, Gao Shun was moved, and wanted to serve Lu Bu, but the camp set up by the Kwantung Coalition Army stretched for dozens of miles, and he couldn't even get close to the Tiger Prison Pass, let alone enter the pass to see Lu Bu, in desperation, he had to turn to Yique Pass, In a hurry, he didn't have time to inquire, how did he know that Yique Pass had fallen into the hands of the Jingzhou army,

Liu Xin knew that in the history of the Three Kingdoms, Gao Shun was definitely a buried generation of famous generals, many people know that he trained an elite soldier called the trap camp, in fact, it was just one of his personal guard troops, and the combat effectiveness was naturally much stronger than other troops, Gao Shun's talent was definitely not only reflected in the training of soldiers, in terms of personal martial arts, he and Zhang Liao, Xu Huang, Zhang He and others should be between the two and the middle, on leading the troops to fight, he was often alone when he was under Lu Bu, The ability to command the army should still be above Zhang Liao, but unfortunately, Lu Bu has such a talent but does not know how to use it, and has always been very suspicious of Gao Shun, and he also accepted his own soldiers and handed them over to Wei Xu to command, on the other hand, Gao Shun has always been loyal to Lu Bu and has not complained at all.

Such a capable and loyal person, Liu Xin will naturally not let go, he even rarely has a killing machine in his heart, if Gao Shun refuses to surrender, then kill him, and must not let him fall into the hands of others, when the killing machine arises, even Liu Xin himself was startled, when will he become so cold-blooded, Gao Shun just wants to defect to Lu Bu, he has never done a bad thing, he has not even killed a person, it is already a bit too much to arrest him, and he even wants to kill him, Liu Xin couldn't help but feel ashamed that he had such thoughts,

Thinking of this, Liu Xin no longer hesitated, walked forward quickly, personally untied the rope tied to Gao Shun's body, and took off his brocade robe and draped it on Gao Shun's body.

Unexpectedly, Gao Shun didn't eat him, but was baffled by Liu Xin's actions, although Gao Shun didn't know why, he still had an angry face,

Liu Xin didn't care when he saw this, grabbed Gao Shun's hand and said: "A strong man is thousands of miles away, and he came alone to join Lu Bu, his courage is commendable, but Lu Bu is just a villain who forgets his righteousness, although he has a body of martial arts, but he helps Dong Zhuo to arbitrarily seize power, cause chaos in the court, and harm the people, it is really not a wise move for a strong man to defect to such a person." ”

Gao Shun was not moved by Liu Xin's words, and asked rhetorically: "What is the purpose of the alliance of more than ten princes to crusade against Dong Zhuo, and it is not for the sake of fighting for power and profit, isn't Lord Liu also raising troops for these rights and interests." ”

Zhang Liao interjected on the side: "Zhuangshi, you misunderstood, my lord came to save the people of Luoyang from fire and water, and it was for his own selfish interests, after the lord entered Luoyang, he was busy extinguishing the fire and relocating the people. ”

Gao Shun said without looking back: "You are his subordinate, so naturally you have to help him speak." ”

Zhang Liao's cheeks were a little hot, and he said stiffly: "Don't hide it, Zhang was originally under Lu Bu, and he always thought that Lu Bu was the first hero in the world, but now I know that I am very wrong, the real hero is not a brave man, but should have the people in mind, and ask the strong man to think twice." ”

Liu Xin didn't expect Zhang Liao to say such a thing, but he was very moved, stretched out his hand and patted Zhang Liao's shoulder, and said to Gao Shun: "Gao Zhuangshi, Liu really hopes that you can come to help me, but you don't have to rush to make a decision, my subordinates are helping refugees in the city, if you are interested, you can go with them to have a look, and then think about what we just said." ”

Gao Shun couldn't help but be stunned, and asked suspiciously, "Aren't you afraid that I will escape." ”

Liu Xin said with a smile: "You are neither my prisoner nor a criminal, it's just that the people below mistakenly grabbed you as a slender, and your feet grow on yourself, if you are bent on leaving, how can I keep it." ”

Kuai Yue brought a large amount of food from Yique Pass, although Xu Huang rescued 300,000 people, but it was enough for them to support more than a month, in order to ensure that all the people can receive food as soon as possible, but also to prevent looting, Liu Xin in addition to leaving 10,000 people to guard against Yuan Shao's coalition army, he sent other soldiers out, Xu Huang and others also went to various grain distribution points to command,

Through Zhang Liao's words just now, Liu Xin knew that Zhang Liao was now completely convinced of himself, so he also sent him to lead a line of soldiers to distribute food, Gao Shun had just had an argument with Zhang Liao, and he was still suspicious of his words, so he proposed to go all the way with him to see, Liu Xin agreed, he knew that now if you want to ask who feels the most deeply about the atrocities of Dong Zhuo and Lu Bu, it must be Zhang Liao,

Along the way, Zhang Liao was still a little worried about Gao Shun, worried that he would take the opportunity to escape, and secretly ordered the soldiers to keep an eye on him, Gao Shun was also a down-to-earth man, knowing that Zhang Liao was sending someone to keep an eye on him, but he was not annoyed, but just followed him with an indifferent expression.

Gradually, Gao Shun's face became more and more ugly, everywhere he passed, there were broken walls and ruins, and the mutilated people died in a miserable and terrifying state, which was shocking, and the people's scolding of Dong Zhuo and Lu Bu, and their gratitude to Liu Xin, continued to enter Gao Shun's ears, and unconsciously, Gao Shun also began to help the soldiers distribute food.

Gao Shun is a general, he knows that food is an important surname for an army, and he began to hear that Liu Xin wanted to help the people, but he just thought he was putting on a show, but he personally participated in it, and he knew that Liu Xin was really helping the people, and the food distributed this time was enough for 100,000 troops for three months.

At noon the next day, Liu Xin ordered the generals to go to Yuan Shao's appointment, Gao Shun took the initiative to greet him, and said: "Lord Liu, the little people want to go with the adults, and I hope the adults will agree." ”

Liu Xin knew that his mentality had changed, so he couldn't help but smile, waved his hand to let the soldier lead a horse, and said, "Okay, then get on the horse quickly." ”

Now the situation in Luoyang City is more delicate, there are not many garrisons in the city, most of the princes are stationed outside the east gate, more than 50 miles of camps, in case of emergency, Liu Xin will Xu Huang, Xu Chu, Wei Yan three people left, thinking that they should respond, he took the rest of the generals and 3,000 cavalry to meet Yuan Shao,

Because the east gate is Sun Jian's army, some unpleasant things happened on both sides, Liu Xin did not want to entangle with him anymore, led the men and horses from the south gate to detour, not far away, bumped into a team, Liu Xin saw it on the horse, it was Sun Jian who came head-on, and couldn't help frowning secretly, it was really a narrow road, and he couldn't avoid it if he wanted to.
