Chapter 210 Enter the palace to worship the Son of Heaven and enter the imperial tomb to worship the ancestors

Let's say that Zhang Fei invited Pang Tong to see Liu Bei.

At first sight of Pang Tong, Zhuge Liang lost his voice and shouted: "Shiyuan?!" It turned out that you assisted the three generals all the way, no wonder the three generals overcame obstacles all the way and broke several cities in a row! ”

"I have heard for a long time that Kong Ming and Yuan Zhi are both under the command of the emperor's uncle, so I threw them in, and when I met General Yide, I just talked about my modest efforts!" Saying that, Pang Tong walked straight to Liu Bei, and without waiting for others to introduce him, he gave a deep salute and said: "The ugly ghost Pang Shiyuan has seen General Wei, congratulations to the general on his promotion in the near future!" ”

"Mr. knows Liu Bei? Where does the promotion start? At first glance, Liu Bei was surprised when he heard what Pang Tong said......

Pang Tongyi grinned, bared out a mouthful of big yellow teeth, giggled and said a little madly: "The general stands here, and he is not angry and arrogant, just like standing out from the crowd!" I recognize it at a glance. And the general has been summoned by His Majesty, which is the time for promotion! ”

Zhang Fei said on the side: "Big brother, this person is Mr. Feng Xiao, who is as famous as Mr. Kong Ming, Pang Tong Pang Shiyuan!" ”

At this time, Zhuge Liang also came over to introduce Liu Bei.

After a little bit of knowing people, Pang Tong left a deep impression on Liu Bei. Therefore, Liu Bei was very happy, and immediately worshiped Pang Tong as the military Cao, that is, the position of military advisor, which is the same status as Zhuge Liang, Xu Shu, and Chen Gong.

Seeing Corporal Liu Bei Lixian and not caring about his appearance at all, Pang Tong's heart was clear, so he said to Liu Bei: "Lord, it is enough to leave the matter of marching and fighting to Kong Ming!" The ministers should enter the palace with the lord, and the lord can be guaranteed to have no worries all the way! ”

Guan Yu asked puzzledly: "The Cao thief in Xuchang City is like a cloud, and you are a scholar?!" ”

Pang Tong said disdainfully: "The only person under Cao Mengde who can enter my eyes is Guo Jia and Guo Fengxiao!" However, Feng Xiao is deceased, and I regard them as nothing! ”

What a crazy tone!

It is to be cautious and cautious; Crazy phoenix chicks, smiling proudly.

Hearing his arrogant words, Liu Bei couldn't help frowning, lowered his face and said, "Since Shiyuan intends to follow, let me go with you!" ”

Pang Tong peeked at Liu Bei's expression, and secretly said in his heart: Go with you to ensure that you don't have to worry! Otherwise, I have rushed all the way, why? If it weren't for my uncle's entrustment, I still wouldn't be optimistic about you, how could you, the imperial uncle, be so respected by the people of the world? However, as I have just seen, there are some differences from others.

Zhuge Liang looked at Pang Tong, shook his head and nodded, not knowing what he was thinking.

That night, Liu Bei held a banquet in the camp to wash the dust for Pang Tong and Zhang Fei.

Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, and Huang Zhong set up camp and blocked the southern, northern, and eastern gates of Xuchang City. Zhuge Liang led the Chinese army to guard the east gate and merged with Huang Zhong's department.

Early the next morning, Zhao Yun led 3,000 white horses to open the way from the beginning, Liu Bei and Pang Tong rode in the center, and behind them were Chen Zhi's 3,000 white army.

When he came to Xuchang City, Zhao Yun saw Cao Cao leading all the generals under his command to meet each other.

A hundred zhang away, he stopped the white horse and returned to the middle to see Liu Bei.

"Lord, Cao Cao and his generals are stationed outside the city gate." Zhao Yun reported to Liu Beiyu.

Liu Bei nodded slightly, turned around and asked Pang Tong: "Shiyuan, what does Cao Cao mean by this?" ”

"Tempt the lord!" Pang Tong replied.

"Humph!" Liu Bei snorted coldly and said disdainfully: "Carving insect skills!" Let's go, come with me and have a look. After finishing speaking, he mentioned Fang Tian's halberd, rode forward, and came to the front of the two armies.

Seeing Cao Cao from afar, he drove his horse forward.

Zhao Yun and Pang Tong followed closely with Bai Ma Yicong.

"Meng De, can what Yuan Benchu said be true?" Running in front of Cao Cao, Liu Bei asked sharply.

Cao Cao squinted his eyes, unmoved, and said coldly: "Uncle Huang's words are wrong!" The Son of Heaven sent the decree to you, but you did not respect the decree, but raised an army to invade the capital, did you intend to rebel? ”

"The prime minister's words are wrong. My lord is the king of Qin, and your body is right, why don't you invite my lord into the palace to face the saint to distinguish the right and wrong? Pang Tong shouted loudly behind Liu Bei.

Seeing that he was questioned by Liu Bei's subordinates, Cao Cao's face became even more gloomy, and he asked, "Dare to ask Uncle Huang, who is the person who is suitable to speak?" ”

"What? Don't you dare to let me go and face Shengye? How dare you resist the decree? Liu Bei didn't answer, and asked bluntly.

Cao Cao snorted coldly and said, "Uncle Huang entered the palace, and a certain An dared to intercept it?" After speaking, he caused the generals to dodge a path.

Liu Bei didn't squint and walked in.

Cao Cao and the others all looked at it from the corner of their eyes.

After Liu Bei's more than 6,000 people passed, Cao Cao immediately asked Mao Jie's to send someone to inquire about the arrangement of Liu Bei's army, and asked Xun Yu: "Wen Ruo, who is the right person to speak?" ”

"Back to Prime Minister, this person's surname is Pang Mingtong, the word Shiyuan, and he is the nephew of Xiangyang Pang Degong. It is said that this person is a hero among the people, very intelligent, and Zhuge Liang is as famous, and was called 'Wolong, Phoenix Chick' by Pang Degong, Sima Hui and others. Xun Yu replied.

After listening to Xun Yu's speech, Cao Cao said in surprise: "Isn't it the ugly ghost who came to see me before?" ”

"The prime minister has seen this person?" Xun Yu asked in surprise. According to Cao Cao's ability to know and use people, how could he not leave this person?

Cao Cao sighed and said, "This person is so ugly, seeing a mouth full of feces, I can't accept it!" ”

Listening to Cao Cao's words, Xun Yu knew where it came from!

At this time, Tanma came back and reported: "Prime Minister Qiqi, Liu Bei's military horses are stationed at the south gate, north gate, and east gate." The south gate and north gate are slightly inferior, with about more than 100,000 people; The East Gate has the most soldiers and horses, about three or five hundred thousand people! ”

What the?

Liu Bei really led the army here!

Knowing the situation of Liu Bei's soldiers and horses, Cao Cao secretly made plans in his heart.

Cao Cao didn't say anything, but said that Liu Bei, accompanied by Chong Shao and others, came to the Jinluan Palace to meet the Son of Heaven.

Hearing that the emperor's uncle entered the palace, the Son of Heaven was in a surging mood and couldn't calm down for a long time. Coming to the Jinluan Palace early, he urged the eunuchs around him from time to time.

Suddenly, a eunuch came to report: "Long live Qiyu, the imperial uncle has arrived!" ”

"Hurry up and summon the temple!" The Son of Heaven said hurriedly.

The Yellow Gate official shouted loudly: "Uncle Xuanhuang goes to the palace." ”

Not long after, Liu Bei hurriedly ascended the Jinluan Palace.

"Long live my emperor, long live, long live, minister Liu Bei to see Your Majesty!" Liu Bei bowed three times and bowed nine times.

Seeing Liu Bei enter the palace, the Son of Heaven stood up excitedly and hurriedly shouted: "Uncle Huang quickly flattened, quickly flattened!" ”

When Liu Bei got up, Emperor Han Xian ordered: "Set a seat for the emperor's uncle." ”

The palace guards hurriedly brought the embroidery pier and placed it in front of the palace.

Liu Bei thanked the emperor for his grace and sat aside.

"Your Majesty, Yuan Benchu got the news from Liu He, the servant, saying that Prime Minister Cao Cao Cao and Cao Mengde are autocratic and often do things to bully the king! The ministers led troops to kill, in order to serve the royal family! After sitting down, Liu Bei said.

Emperor Han Xian's face changed, he looked at the people in front of the hall, and said with a smile: "Uncle Huang is always concerned about me, I am deeply grateful!" However, Prime Minister Cao Cheng's loyalty can be seen, but the emperor's uncle blamed him! Therefore, we issued an order to ask the imperial uncle to withdraw from the army. Emperor Han Xian seemed to have concerns in his heart, and he didn't dare to tear his face with Cao Cao.

"I see. It's the negligence of your subordinates, and I hope Your Majesty will forgive me! Liu Bei said, got up and bowed to the Son of Heaven.

Emperor Han Xian said with a smile: "Uncle Huang entered the palace, is it just for this matter?" You and my uncle and nephew will not talk about this matter for the time being. I have set up a banquet in the harem to wash the dust for the emperor's uncle. ”

"Thank you, Lord Longne!" Liu Bei thanks.

At this time, Cao Cao Fang led everyone under his command into the palace in a hurry.

Seeing Cao Cao enter the palace, the Son of Heaven said to him: "Cao Aiqing, today the emperor's uncle entered the palace to visit me, and I am very happy." A feast has been held in the palace tonight, will you be free? ”

Cao Cao looked back at Xun Yu.

Xun Yu whispered: "Go!" ”

"Thank you, Lord Ron!" Cao Cao followed Xun Yu's advice and agreed.

That night, hundreds of civil and military officials gathered in Xuanhe Palace.

Liu Bei was still escorted and surrounded by Zhao Yun, Chen Zhi and others to the outside of the palace, and it happened that Cao Cao also walked face-to-face with Liu Bei surrounded by hundreds of officials and generals in the court.

Cao Cao smiled with a hint of insidiousness, glared at Liu Bei, and waited for Liu Bei to give way.

Liu Bei just laughed with Pang Tong, stopped in the middle of the road, and ignored Cao Cao. Zhao Yun carried a gun on his horse, and when he was in front of Cao Cao, he listened to him and said: "Uncle Huang is here, please give way to the prime minister and your lords!" ”

Cao Cao's general Dian Wei was furious, rushed up, and shouted: "General You're the master of the guard, you should make way for the prime minister!" ”

"Bold! Uncle Huang is so noble, that is, His Majesty is still called uncle. Wait for the emperor to make way for Uncle Huang? Could it be that Prime Minister Cao Cheng intends to rebel? Zhao Yun had already been instructed by Pang Tong, forcing Dian Wei to be speechless.

At this time, Liu Beifang came slowly and said to Cao Cao with a smile: "Meng De, it's really unfortunate that I met again!" Please also ask Prime Minister Cao Cheng to get out of the way and let someone pass! ”

This is really breaking my teeth and swallowing it in my stomach, and there is nowhere to vent the fire!

……

In this comparison, Cao Cao still fell behind.

Liu Bei's strength has made the hundreds of officials in the court and central China dare not listen to Cao Cao's arrangement to make trouble. They are all very honest, except for toasting to the Son of Heaven, Liu Bei and Cao Cao from time to time, almost all of them bow their heads and drink.

Cao Cao was bent on keeping Liu Bei in the city, but there was always a chance. Even if he had the opportunity, he was worried that hundreds of thousands of troops outside the city were eyeing him, and he didn't dare to do it easily.

Suddenly, he had an idea and thought about it.

"Your Majesty, the relationship between the minister and the imperial uncle is all provoked by Yuan Benchu. The minister implored His Majesty to issue an order to crusade against Yuan Benchu. Cao Cao said to the Son of Heaven.

Emperor Han Xian replied: "Who is Aiqing suitable? ”

Cao Cao looked at Liu Bei and said with a serious face: "General Wei broke through Yuan's original cities in one fell swoop, which shows that General Wei is the best candidate for this battle." ”

Liu Bei thought in his heart: What are the benefits of Cao Cao doing this?

Seeing Cao Cao's calculation of Liu Bei, the doctor Chong Shao led the topic away, and then suggested to the prince: "Your Majesty, there are still a few days before the time to worship the ancestors, why not take this opportunity to go with the imperial uncle?" ”

Emperor Han Xian also wanted to stay with Liu Bei for a little longer, so he followed his advice and asked Liu Bei: "Uncle Huang, the ancestor worship is approaching, can you go with me?" ”
