As soon as the edict of the Son of Heaven came out, the whole world was shaken, and no one could have imagined that the Yellow Turban thieves would force Luoyang, intending to subvert the Han family.

When the edict arrived in Liangzhou, a person hurriedly ran into the big tent of the Xiliang garrison, this person had a good appearance and a Confucian style, but at this moment he was overjoyed, rushed into the big tent, and shouted: "Father-in-law, great joy, great joy." ”

In the middle of the big tent sat a rough warrior with a big waist and a round waist, he put down the military book and asked in a strange voice, "What is the great joy?" ”

Li Ru presented the edict of the Son of Heaven in his hand on several cases, stretched out his hand to stroke his not luxuriant mustache, and the joy in his eyes became more and more prosperous, and when the fierce general was still reading the edict of the Son of Heaven, he interjected: "Father-in-law, ah no, general, this is a good time to make meritorious contributions, as long as you lead the troops into the customs to relieve the siege of Luoyang, the Son of Heaven will not be able to promote you to the official." ”

Li Ru's father-in-law is naturally Dong Zhuo, the warlord of Xiliang.

At this time, Dong Zhuo will also come to his senses, and said with a smile: "This is very good!" ”

But he didn't expect Li Ru to smile mysteriously and say: "General, I have a word, if you can hear it, you will listen to it, if you can't listen to it, you should not have heard it." ”

Dong Zhuo was stunned for a moment, knowing that his son-in-law, who was both loyal and intelligent, had a plan to come up, so Zhengse asked in a low voice, "Please speak." ”

"When the siege of Luoyang is relieved, you can build momentum, self-protection is the top, when the dust settles, Luoyang is outnumbered, and the general can lead the army to control Yanjing, if you can't do anything, then return to Xiliang after sealing the official."

As soon as Li Ru's words fell, Dong Zhuo understood, and after his face was shocked, he looked at Li Ru and said in a deep voice: "You mean, if Luoyang is empty after the chaos, I will take Yanjing and command the world?" Well, this one, it's not impossible. But if I'm not sure, why should I go back to Xiliang? Can't you stay in Luoyang and watch the situation? ”

Li Ru shook his head solemnly and said: "The political situation in Yanjing is treacherous, if the general is not sure that the battle will be decided, it is better to retreat to Xiliang, think about it, within Yanjing, the generals, the ten permanent servants, plus the old scholars of the court, even if you have a meritorious service, after a long time, will the Son of Heaven still take it to heart?" General, to tell you the truth, no one in the court can match you when it comes to marching and fighting, but if you want to talk about playing with power, you are probably not the opponent of the eunuchs and those old foxes who are scheming and scheming and bottomless. ”

After thinking about it, Dong Zhuo felt that what his son-in-law said was very reasonable, so he ordered the three armies to rest and recuperate for three days before entering the customs to rescue the driver.

At this time, the wind was surging, and the heroes of the world who wanted to make contributions and become famous all over the world joined the rebel army recruited by various states and counties at this time.

On the official road of Youzhou, Liu Yan led the troops to Luoyang, and behind the tail of his troops, the three leaders led the three righteous troops to follow.

The three people who led the rebel army knew at a glance that they were not ordinary people, but the heroic and heroic Liu Guanzhang brothers.

On the official road leading to the north of Yangzhou, nearly 1,000 cavalry galloped on horseback, led by a heroic general, and there was a horse beside him, but the one who straddled the horse was a ten-year-old boy, with a resolute face and a very majestic style.

At this time, the young man pulled the reins with one hand and rode the horse, the speed was fast, and the middle-aged general next to him was neck and neck, and at the same time, the young man also held a flag in the other hand, which was embroidered with a striking big word: Sun!

"Father, let's go to Luoyang, after killing all the Yellow Turban thieves, can my father become a big official?" The young man in the wind shouted loudly to the side.

And the middle-aged general looked up to the sky and laughed, proudly looked at the ten-year-old boy, and said proudly: "This trip to Luoyang is a God-given opportunity for me to show my Jiangdong character. ”

The young man turned his head, his face was unconvinced, and he shouted angrily: "My Sun Ce's father, how can he only be the Taishou of a county? Either he is the general who is in charge of the world's soldiers and horses, or at least the history of Yangzhou Thorn. If not, just turn around and go home. ”

The middle-aged general laughed even more when he heard this, and said loudly: "My Sun Jian has such a son, this life is enough." ”

Such as the Xiliang warlord Dong Zhongying, Jiangdong Tiger Sun Wentai, Xiong Hu fierce general Liu Guanzhang and other heroes of the world gathered in Luoyang from all directions, at this moment, the heroic heroes of the tiger sprung up like mushrooms after a rain, and appeared on the grand historical stage in the late Eastern Han Dynasty.

And there are many people who are in a dilemma with the edict of the Son of Heaven, such as the Zhen family.

Zhongshan is located in the north of Jizhou, Zhang Jiao led the Yellow Turban Army to the west to attack Luoyang, Zhongshan was not attacked by the main force of the Yellow Turban Army, but the Taiping Road rebellion affected the whole body, rebellions rose one after another, and the rule of Zhongshan was not peaceful, fortunately, the Zhen family had already prepared, and the commander of Zhen Yan, who served as the Taishou, was determined to pacify the five riots in Zhongshan one after another, and the subordinate areas were not affected by the war.

"Big brother, do you think we will send troops? If we send troops, we have less than 10,000 troops, and we can barely protect ourselves, if we send troops to Luoyang, if there is another riot, I am afraid the consequences will be unimaginable. But if we don't send troops, the Son of Heaven will blame it, and we may not be able to take it. Zhen Yan returned home to discuss with his brother, their father Zhen Yi was sick in bed, and even though it was such a big event, he didn't want to disturb his father's recuperation.

Zhen Yu was also wavering after watching the edict of the Son of Heaven for a long time, and Zhongshan Country did not have a strong army to help Luoyang, which is a fact. But the power of heaven is unpredictable, if the mediocre emperor who regards wealth as his life makes trouble afterwards, the Zhen family will fall into a place of no return.

When the two elder brothers were sad, the third brother Zhen Yao smiled and said confidently: "Two brothers, don't worry. If you are not at ease, take gold, silver and jewelry to Luoyang to show the Son of Heaven, the Son of Heaven will definitely not blame the Zhen family, not to mention the Taiping Road rebellion, the vitality of the imperial court is greatly damaged, even if the Son of Heaven wants to blame the state and county assassin Shi Taishou who did not send troops to Luoyang, I am afraid that he will not dare to take heavy responsibility, and now there are endless rebellions in various places, and the imperial court must appease the officials in various places, otherwise once the officials are forced to collude with the thieves, the Son of Heaven will be even more difficult to sleep. ”

After hearing the third brother's analysis, Zhen Yu and Zhen Yan both smiled, and Zhen Yan praised it even more: "The third brother is not only much calmer than before, but also has made progress in his knowledge." ”

Zhen Yao waved his hand modestly and said: "This is all the credit of Fengxiao, but unfortunately, Fengxiao only lived in my Zhen family for half a year, if you can live for a long time, many unsolved puzzles of the foolish brother will have a way to solve them." ”

Zhen Yu and Zhen Yan looked at each other and smiled, and couldn't help but think in their hearts: What is Feng Xiao doing now?

Yingchuan

Now that the army is in chaos, the news that the Yellow Turban Army is forcing Luoyang has spread nearby, and Yingchuan extends in all directions, which is where the Yellow Turban Army marches through, and it is very likely that it will affect the pond fish, so Guo Jia and Zuo Ci are commanding 300 civilians to pack up and prepare to take refuge in the nearby city.

Putting two bags of grain on his shoulders on the wooden cart transporting grain, Guo Jia wiped the sweat from his forehead, and the young man who carried the grain with him couldn't bear it, and persuaded him loudly: "Little Taigong, you better go and rest, just leave this kind of rough work to us." ”

"Go, go, I'm three years older than you, I can't do the physical work you can do? If it's a martial arts competition, I'll knock you down in ten moves, if I leave, you will definitely be lazy, don't try to fool me, hehe. ”

Guo Jia's kind joke made the teenagers around him smile and warm their hearts.

At this moment, Xi Zhicai came panting from a distance and said, "Fengxiao, someone from the Xun family invited you to Yingchuan Academy, saying that there is something important to discuss." ”

Guo Jia pondered for a moment and asked, "Xun family? Didn't Wen Ruo go to Luoyang? ”

Xi Zhicai nodded and said: "Taiping Dao rebelled, the Son of Heaven lifted the ban on the party, Wen Ruo's uncle Xun Shuang took Wen Ruo and Youruo to Luoyang to share the worries of the Son of Heaven, and now the Xun family is Wen Ruo's third brother Xun Yan Xun Xiuruo is presiding over major events, and the invitation is sent in his name." ”

Guo Jia can't help but pay attention to it, Xun Yu's uncle is known as Xun's Eight Dragons, and Xun Shuang is ranked sixth, originally an official in the court, more than ten years ago because of the disaster of the party and took refuge in seclusion, at that time there was a "Xun's Eight Dragons, Ciming is unparalleled" evaluation, Ciming is Xun Shuang's word.

And in Xun Yu's generation, the Xun family is still full of outstanding people, Xun Yu, the king of Zuozhi, naturally does not mention it, and several of his brothers and nephews are all handsome among the people, such as Xun Yan, Xun Yue, Xun Chen, and now Xun Yu who has served as the Huangmen squire under the general He Jin.

If it was Yingchuan's unworthy name of the prestigious family who invited him, Guo Jia would definitely refuse, but Xun Yanzhi's invitation, he was not good at refusing, but expected that something big would happen.

Xu Shu was worried that the chaos of the world would affect his mother, so he returned home to protect his mother, so after Guo Jia handed over the burden on his hand to Zuo Ci, who was crooked-mouthed, he and Xi Zhicai rode a fast horse to Yingchuan Academy.

Hurry up and rush to Yingchuan Academy, the Xun family who has been waiting for a long time will introduce Guo Jia and Xi Zhicai into a school, Guo Jia, who has just stepped into the room, is obviously stunned, because there are many people sitting in the room, and the wealthy families of Yingchuan who have met him have children sitting in the room.

Xun Yan got up to greet him, led Guo Jia and Xi Zhicai left and right, and sighed as he walked inside: "Fengxiao and Zhicai, but I am looking forward to you." Hurry up, please take a seat. ”

After sitting down, Xun Yan introduced the people in the room one by one, Guo Jia had no interest in those wealthy families, and the children of the family also looked at Guo Jia and Xi Zhicai with a pale face, and even showed disdain in their expressions.

"In Xia Chen Qun, the words are long, and I have heard for a long time in the name of filial piety, benevolence and wisdom, and it is a blessing to see it today." After the elegant and dignified young man bowed to Guo Jia, he also bowed to Xi Zhicai.

Guo Jia looked at the young man in front of him who was not a few years older than himself, and his heart turned over the river, he didn't expect to be able to see this future Cao Wei's auxiliary minister today, and hurriedly replied: "Changwen is praised, how can Fengxiao He De be worthy of the four words of benevolence and talent, and today I am fortunate to meet a talented person like Changwen, and it is an honor." ”

The hall is full of sideways, who doesn't know that Guo Jiaqing is arrogant? Who doesn't know that Guo Jia's eyes are high-eyed, how can he put on such a humble attitude towards a child of a family he has just met today?

The children of the family naturally despised in their hearts, but Xun Yan looked at Guo Jia for a long time with deep meaning in his eyes, and he was also amazed in his heart that Guo Jia's eyes were vicious, and he could see who was the real talent and real learning when they met for the first time? Who are the false ones?

Putting aside these doubts for the time being, Xun Yan's face sank after everyone got to know each other, and he said solemnly: "Everyone, according to the report of the children of my Xun family who are out to inquire about the news, the Yellow Turban Thief Bocai Division, who led an army of 50,000 to Luoyang, recently suddenly divided 10,000 troops, and he personally led the march towards Yingchuan. ”

The audience was in an uproar, but only those who did not change their colors were Chen Qun, Guo Jia, and Xi Zhicai.

Chen Qun was observing Guo Jia's reaction, but Guo Jia was thinking in his heart: Why did Bocai come to Yingchuan? Without the army of Huangfu Song in history, who can stop the crowd of thousands of talents?
