It was night, the Liangzhou army camp.

Li Ru said to Guo Yan with a face full of chagrin: "Alas, I didn't expect that there would be such a terrifying cavalry in Gao Shun's army, what a mistake. ”

Guo Yan said: "Strategist, how long does it take to rebuild the well barrier?" ”

"It will take at least a month." Li Ru paused, and then said, "But Confucianism thinks that rebuilding the well is not the best countermeasure. ”

Guo Yan said: "How do you say this? ”

Li Ru said: "Even if the well is rebuilt, do you know that Gao Shun will not send this terrifying ironclad cavalry to assault again?" Our infantry was unable to resist the enemy, and the well was inevitably destroyed. ”

Guo Yan sighed: "I didn't expect that the more than 200,000 Liangzhou army would be helpless to resist the three or five thousand men and horses under Gao Shun, shame, it's really a shame." ”

Li Ru said: "Now there is only one way left." ”

Guo Yan said: "What way? ”

Li Ru said: "The general can do his best to divide the mountain and open the road along the south bank of the river, and re-open a road to Guanzhong!" Although this is long-lasting, it can avoid Gao Shun's obstacle! Fortunately, the income from the capture of our army from the four counties of Gyeonggi can support the 200,000 army for two years, and the supply of grain and grass is worry-free. ”

Guo Yan said: "It seems that this is the only way." ”

……

Shang County, Zuo Zhonglang will simmer in the official residence.

Duan Xuan's eyes flickered, and he said to Guo Tu: "Mr. is here, do you want to be a lobbyist?" ”

"Definitely." Guo Tu shook his head, sat down on the seat with a big grin, stroked his willow beard and said slowly, "I am not here to lobby the general, but to save the general's life." ”

"The gentleman laughed." Duan Xuan's tone was not good, and he said in a deep voice, "General Ben is fine, why worry about his surname?" ”

"People have no foresight, but they must have near-term worries." Guo Tu said, "If the general does not listen to the good words of the subordinates, sooner or later he will be harmed by Guo Yan, Li Xu, Li Ru and others." ”

"Huh?" Duan Xuan said, "What do you mean by this, sir?" ”

Guo Tu said: "The general did not follow Li Ru's intentions, and did not lead the army to Hangu Pass to join Guo Yan and Li Xuan's troops, and they must have a grudge." This time, Guo Yan and Li Qizheng led the army to storm the ancient road of Chang'an, although General Gao Shun was able to fight well, but his troops and horses were limited, and it was a matter of time before the defense line was breached. If Guo Yan, Li Xu, Li Ru and others lead the army into the customs and seize the three auxiliary parts of the pass, can there still be a good general? ”

"This~~"

Duan Xuan was speechless.

The surnames of Guo Yan, Li Xuan and others are very clear, they are all arrogant and domineering, and they must repay themselves, if these two people really occupy the third assistant in Guanzhong, it is really impossible to let Duan Xuan go easily.

Guo Tu said again: "The general has no more than 5,000 soldiers, and there are less than 10 generals, but Guo Yan, Li Xuan, Yang Feng, Fan Chou and others are sitting on hundreds of thousands of Liangzhou rebels, and the defeat of the general is just a gesture, what does the general think?" ”

Duan Xuan finally changed his face, and asked respectfully: "Simmer is stupid, I almost missed a big thing, and now that the situation is urgent, please ask Mr. to give me advice." ”

Guo Tu said: "In the past, Dong Zhuo caused chaos in the dynasty, and the generals and others were tigers, and they had been isolated from the imperial court. Moreover, the Liangzhou Army and the Kwantung Army have been fighting for a long time, and the grudge is very deep, and it is impossible for Sun Jian, the Taishou of Nanyang, to forgive the general. Hanzhong Taishou Zhang Lu may take in the general, but it is a pity that Zhang Lu is outnumbered, even if he takes in the general, he can only keep the peace for a while, and it is not a long-term solution after all. ”

The more Duan Xuan listened, the more he felt that what Guo Tu said made sense, so he hurriedly said: "According to Mr. Xuan's opinion, what should I do with the simmer?" ”

Guo Tu stroked his willow beard, and Shi Shiran said: "The general should live in the northwest!" ”

"Huh? Northwest? Duan Xuan's expression moved, and he said thoughtfully, "Horse butcher? ”

Guo Tuyao hugged his fists to the northwest and said: "My lord is eloquent, and he is the concubine of Princess Yiyang, and he is also the assassin of Liangzhou sealed by the imperial court. There are Jia Xu, Fu Zhu, Guan Ning, Wu Ma Teng, Gao Shun, Fang Yue, Xu Huang, Xu Chu, Dian Wei three generals are 10,000 enemies, and according to the Hetao fertile field for thousands of miles, Liangzhou fierce land, according to the northwest and peeking into the Central Plains, the foundation of this king is also. ”

Duan Xuan said: "But how did General Ben hear that the horse butcher will only have ten soldiers and no more than 20,000 soldiers, how can such a lonely person achieve great things?" ”

Guo Tu said: "The soldiers are expensive but not too expensive, although there are only 40,000 or 50,000 troops under the command of my lord, they are all elite divisions of a hundred battles, which is enough to block a hundred!" Don't you hear that when my lord was guarding the northern frontier, he often used weak soldiers to fight all the Xianbei and the blood, and the pieces of armor did not flow. ”

After saying this, Guo Tu said: "When 800 Liukou swept the Central Plains, they even beat 20,000 elite central officials and soldiers with 800 elite soldiers, and Zhu Jun and Huangfu Song were known as the famous generals of the Han Dynasty, but they were still defeated and ambushed!" Since the general thinks that my lord is not enough to succeed, he wants to ask rhetorically, what other heroes in the world can achieve great things? ”

"This~~" Duan Xuan hesitated again and again, and said tentatively, "If you want General Ben to defect to Ma Tu~~ Well, it's not impossible to defect to Master Ma, but General Ben has three conditions." ”

Guo Tu said: "But it doesn't hurt to say it. ”

Duan Xuan said: "First, the general's subordinates need to be read outside of the subordinates under the Spur History, and they have their own system. ”

"Yes."

Guo Tu agreed without thinking, but he thought coldly in his heart, if you really want to wait until you surrender and become a subordinate of the lord, how to clean you up, how to deal with your subordinates is not a word from the lord? How can you be allowed to pick and choose, talk about conditions and reason, hum.

Duan Xuan said: "Second, Lord Ma must ensure the supply of grain and grass for our department, and the weapons and equipment of the soldiers must be treated equally with the rest of the departments, and they must not deliberately make things difficult. ”

Guo Tu pretended to ask for a moment, and reluctantly replied: "It's okay." ”

Duan Xuan finally said: "The last one, this general needs to lead the military capital to guard." ”

Duan Xuan's abacus can not be described as refined, he himself knows that the first two conditions are too harsh, the horse butcher is now forced by the situation, or it is the time to employ people, he may swallow his anger and agree, but once he relaxes, he will inevitably take Duan Xuan to open the knife, so Duan Xuan can't help but plan early.

Asking himself to guard Wudu, Duan Xuan left a way out for himself, once the situation was not right, and the horse butcher showed signs of moving, he could immediately lead his troops to retreat into Hanzhong and go to Hanzhong Taishou Zhang Lu.

Guo Tu pretended to say: "This matter is very important, I don't dare to make decisions without permission, I need to ask the lord for advice." ”

Duan Xuan said indifferently: "Since this is the case, then I'm sorry, Mr. can send someone to Guanzhong to ask Master Ma for instructions, but General Ma Teng's army can only stay outside Wuguan and wait for a while!" However, if General Ben is not mistaken, if General Ma Teng's army can't rush to Chang'an Ancient Road in time to reinforce, I'm afraid that General Gao Shun will not be able to parry, right? ”

"You~~" Guo Tu feigned anger, "You are taking the opportunity to blackmail." ”

Duan Xuanjian smiled and said: "Yes or not, Mr. Quan Zai, this general has no intention of coercion, hehe." ”

"Okay!" Guo Tu gritted his teeth and said in a deep voice, "I am fair to the lord below, and I hope the general will be true to his word." ”

Duan Xuan stretched out his hand and said, "A gentleman's word." ”

Guo Tu stretched out his hand and slapped it heavily on Duan Xuan's hand, and said loudly: "It's hard to chase the horse!" ”

At that time, this kind of gentleman's agreement was still quite effective, and once the high-fives were sworn as an oath, few people broke the oath, unlike in modern society, this kind of verbal gentleman's agreement has long become inferior to fart.

"Good!" Duan Xuan waved his hand and said sharply, "Someone." ”

Two of his own soldiers had already stepped forward and said quickly, "What does the general command?" ”

Duan Xuan said: "Immediately send an order to Li Meng, open the Wuguan, and let General Ma Teng's army pass through!" ”

……

At the end of September of the first year of Emperor Jian'an of the Han Dynasty (188).

After storming Wuguan for a month, Guo Tu ventured to enter the pass alone, and finally persuaded Dong Zhuo's old general Duan Xuan to surrender with his three-inch tongue, and Ma Teng's army was able to successfully pass through Wuguan and enter the land of Guanzhong. At this time, Ma Yue had already requisitioned the people in the most densely populated areas within 300 miles around Chang'an, and was in full swing to requisition the people in the remote areas of Guanzhong to the north of Liangzhou.

However, without waiting for Ma Teng to lead the army to reinforcements, Gao Shun led the army to withdraw to Guanzhong.

……

In October of the first year of Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty, it took more than two months for Guo Yan to dig a new simple official road on the north side of the Chang'an Ancient Road and close to the south bank of the river, and finally bypassed the obstruction of Gao Shun's army, and led more than 200,000 Liangzhou rebel troops to enter the Guanzhong.

However, what was left for more than 200,000 Liangzhou rebels such as Guo Yan and Li Xun was an empty Guanzhong! The originally densely populated Guanzhong area has been barren at this time, and there is neither rooster crowing nor cooking smoke within a thousand miles! The Liangzhou rebel army, full of hope to return to Guanzhong, suffered a heavy blow.

……

Changan.

Guo Yan, Li Xuan, Yang Feng, Zhao Cen, Li Ru and others stood on the long street, all of them were dumbfounded, originally this was the most lively and prosperous street in Chang'an City, often full of traffic, businessmen like clouds, and pedestrians were endless, but at this time it was a depression and there was no shadow.

The whole street was so dead that not even a single mouse could be found.

"What about people?" Guo Yan cried out in disbelief, "What about the people in Chang'an City? Where have they gone? You can't let the horse butcher kill them all, right? ”

Li Xun also shouted: "This is the case in Baling, Yangling, and Pingling counties, but I didn't expect Chang'an to be like this, what is going on?" What happened in Guanzhong? If there is no control over the people, what will our 200,000 army eat? What to wear? Do you want the soldiers to grow their own food? ”

Hearing Li Xuan's words, Li Ru suddenly shuddered violently, and shouted loudly: "Poisonous plan!" This is the horse butcher's desperate trick! ”

Hearing this, Guo Yan, Li Xun and others turned their heads one after another and asked, "What kind of poisonous plan?" ”

Li Ru sighed and said, "It's the horse butcher's desperate plan to retreat!" ”

Guo Yan was puzzled: "What is the retreat as advance? ”

Li Ru lamented: "Although the horse butcher withdrew from Guanzhong, he did not withdraw from Guanzhong." ”

Li Xuan frowned and said, "The military advisor shouldn't be confused, right?" How do you talk upside down? ”

Li Ru said: "It is said that the horse butcher withdrew from Guanzhong, it is the horse butcher's army that has indeed withdrawn from Guanzhong, and it is said that the horse butcher has not withdrawn from Guanzhong because the horse butcher has moved the entire people of Guanzhong to Hetao!" ”

Guo Yan finally understood, and said in a speech: "You mean~~ The horse butcher requisitioned all the millions of people in the pass to the Hetao?" Is this ~~ possible? ”

"Ten of them are so."

Li Ru sighed, his heart was like ashes.

At the beginning, Li Ru proposed to Dong Zhuo to requisition the two million people in the four counties of Luoyang and Gyeonggi to send them to Guanzhong, but he tried to use the same desperate poisonous plan to disintegrate the 18th Kwantung Coalition Army, but unfortunately Dong Zhuo died suddenly, and this poisonous plan finally fell short. Unexpectedly, the horse butcher successfully carried out this desperate poison plan against the Liangzhou army, and requisitioned millions of people in Guanzhong to Hetao.

This is really the old adage of retribution.

"So what now?" Zhao Cen said, "Chang'an Sanfu has become a dead land, wouldn't the army stay here and just sit and eat empty?" ”

Guo Yan said: "What should I do? Of course, it was to go north to attack the Hetao and take the people back. ”

"No." Guo Yan's voice fell, and Li Xuan objected, "Since the horse butcher dares to requisition the people of Guanzhong to the Hetao, he must have all the precautions, and the horse butcher has been operating in the Hetao for many years, and his power is deep-rooted, if our army rashly attacks, it will inevitably be calculated by him!" I thought that it was time to move south into Hanzhong, which was rich and could collect enough military rations to support the army. ”

"What Hanzhong are you going to?" Guo Yan obviously didn't expect Li Xuan to dare to openly shout at him, and said angrily, "Our army has 200,000 troops, and the horse butcher has a maximum of 20,000 or 30,000 troops, ten times the enemy's strength advantage, are you still afraid that you won't be able to win?" ”

When he was in Hangu Pass, because there were 300,000 Kwantung Army who threatened the survival of the Liangzhou Army at all times, Li Qi could only swallow his anger and obey Guo Yan's command in order to take care of the overall situation, but now that the army has entered Guanzhong, the 300,000 Kwantung Army has been far away from Hangu Pass, and the danger is gone, Li Qi is no longer willing to obey Guo Yan's command.

Guo Yan's voice fell, and Li Xuan said hungrily: "It's better for you to go, anyway, General Ben won't go." ”

"Li urged you to be too presumptuous." Guo Yan said angrily, "Don't forget that General Ben is the chief general of the Liangzhou Army!" Do you dare to disobey? ”

"The Lord?" Li Xuan said coldly, "Guo Yan, what kind of thing are you, and you are also worthy of being the commander of the Liangzhou Army!?" ”

"Look for death."

Guo Yan was furious and drew his sword to slash.

"I'm afraid you won't make it." Li Xuan didn't give in, drew his sword to greet him, and shouted loudly, "Don't think that when you killed General Fan Chou, others didn't know your intentions, and now you want to attack General Ben again, hum!" Don't think that General Ben will be like Fan Chou, waiting to be killed and dreaming! ”

Seeing that the two were facing each other, Yang Feng and Zhao Cen on the side hurriedly came up to persuade each other.

Only Li Ru shook his head and sighed on the side, thinking that the current situation was the real poison of the horse butcher's desperate trick! This move is to retreat into advance, not only to move the entire Guanzhong to the Hetao, but also to make the more than 200,000 Liangzhou army fall apart and be wiped out in a blink of an eye.

A soldier who surrenders without a fight is the highest state of using soldiers!

Without the threat of a powerful foreign enemy, and without the worry of lack of military food for the time being, the contradictions between Dong Zhuo's old troops will soon intensify, and the self-reliance and mutual scuffle of Guo Yan, Li Xuan, Yang Feng, Zhao Cen and others are inevitable, but I am afraid that in less than a year and a half, the mighty Liangzhou army of more than 200,000 in front of him will be wiped out.

Originally, Li Ru could also bring out Gongzi Huang to suppress the ambitions of Guo Yan, Li Xuan and others, but unfortunately, at the moment when the Liangzhou army had just stepped into the land of Guanzhong, the horse butcher sent someone to send a "big gift", which was a bloody human head, Gongzi Huang's human head!

From the moment he received the head of Gongzi Huang, Li Ru knew that the collapse of the 200,000 Liangzhou army was inevitable.

……

Li Qi and Guo Yan had a big quarrel and finally broke up.

The next day, Li Xuan said goodbye without saying goodbye and led the 60,000 troops of the headquarters out of Tunhuaili.

Not to mention, Yang Feng and Zhao Cen, who were pregnant with ghosts, also parted ways with Guo Yan. Yang Feng led 50,000 old troops to Maoling, and Zhao Cen led 20,000 old troops to Baling. Guo Yan thought that it was Li Qi who instigated it, and Yang Feng and Zhao Cen would lead the troops to leave, so he was furious at that time, and he raised an army of 100,000 to kill Benhuaili.

……

Liangzhou, Longxian.

Ma Yue's temporary residence.

"Wenhe, Dong Huang's head should almost be sent to the Liangzhou army, right?" A sneer appeared on the corner of Ma Yue's mouth, and he said to Jia Xu, "Now it depends on whether Li Ru has the ability to save the situation, if nothing else, the melee between the various departments of the Liangzhou Army should be staged soon, right?" ”

"Although Li Ru is full of wisdom, he doesn't have much prestige in the army, but I'm afraid it will be difficult to save the situation." Jia Xu said this, and said to Ma Yue with a worried look in his eyes, "Although the hundreds of thousands of Liangzhou rebels are huge, they are actually not worried, it is difficult for Liangzhou to pose a threat, but the nearly one million Guanzhong people who have just moved to the north are a big trouble." ”

Ma Yue frowned and said, "What's the trouble?" ”

Jia Xu said to Ma Yue worriedly: "The lord doesn't know, just now General Fang Yue sent someone to report that many immigrants from Guanzhong have nothing to do every day when they are full, and they are specially causing trouble!" In the last 10 days of last month alone, there were hundreds of incidents of silver annihilation, and dozens of murders. The people of Guanzhong have just moved to the north, they are not familiar with the place, and their livelihood is not settled, and their emotions are very restless, and it is easy to get out of control. ”

Ma Yue frowned and said, "It seems that we have to find something for them to do first, and we can't let them stay idle like this all the time." ”

Jia Xu smiled bitterly: "Xu also thinks so, but the people in Guanzhong who moved to the north are nearly one million (in fact, there are more than 700,000, but the horse butchers have no conditions and no time to conduct a census), and there are more than 300,000 middle-aged laborers, where can they find so many things to do?" ”

Ma Yue pondered for a long time and finally got nothing, and couldn't help but say angrily: "Isn't Fu Zhu good at internal affairs, why hasn't he arrived yet?" ”

"Lord!" Ma Yue's voice fell, and Dian Wei had already entered proudly, and said loudly, "Mr. Fu Zhu asks to see." ”

"Oh?" Ma Yue was overjoyed when he heard this, "Hurry up, please." ”

Fu Zhu was ordered to rush to Liangzhou from Hetao for thousands of miles, but he didn't have time to wash off the dust on his face, so he rushed to Ma Yue's mansion in a hurry, saw Ma Yue's long body, and said respectfully: "Grant the lord." ”

Ma Yue waved his hand and said, "Then the note is exempt." ”

Fu Zhu wiped the sweat from the corners of his forehead with his sleeve and said: "My lord, on the way to Liangzhou, I have already thought of a solution to the best of both worlds, which can effectively solve the idle problem of millions of homeless people (who have nothing to do after coming to the north and immediately become homeless), and can earn thousands of hectares of fertile land for the lord. ”

"Oh?" Ma Yuexi said, "What way?" ”

Frustrated, he said: "Immediately organize the people to dig canals, so that the people can exchange their labor for rations!" In view of the large number of idle people, a deeper, longer and denser network of water canals can be excavated in addition to the Qin Canal and the Han Canal. It has been roughly calculated that just digging a canal will require almost 300,000 people in the prime of life! ”

"Good!" Ma Yue was overjoyed, "Zezhu is good at internal affairs, and it is really famous, and the problem that can make Wen He helpless can be easily solved." ”

Jia Xu's expression was calm, and his frustration was also colorless.

Fu Zhu continued: "The lord can also mobilize the remaining old men, children, and women to cultivate the land, so that by the beginning of next spring ten thousand hectares of fertile land will be obtained, and when the first rice and wheat are ripe, the rations of the million immigrants will be sufficient for themselves, and there will be no need to draw military rations from the Hetao." ”

"Wonderful!" Jia Xu said, "In this way, in less than two years, this northern plain can become a big granary, providing a steady stream of military food for the lord, and then attacking Guanzhong, Hanzhong and even Kandong, the northern granary is enough to support, and there is no need to transport grain and grass from Hetao to Liangzhou." ”

"Hmm." Ma Yue nodded and said, "Note, from today onwards, you will be a driver in Liangzhou, and the internal affairs of the entire Liangzhou will be handled by you, regardless of size." ”

Frustrated Zhu clasped his fists and said respectfully: "Give the order." ”

……

Luoyang, Lu Bu's official residence.

Lu Bu was drinking alcohol, Lu Bu did have a reason to sulk, to say that the biggest hero to get rid of Dong Zhuo was actually none other than him Lu Bu, but in the end, all the princes of the Eighteen Roads and Kwantung were rewarded by the Son of Heaven, but Lu Bu seemed to have been forgotten, and no one mentioned it again.

When he lobbied Lu Bu to fight back, Wang Yun promised that after Lu Bu succeeded, the court would make him a hussar general, but now that so long has passed, Wang Yun seems to have forgotten about it, and he didn't even mention it for months! That's not all, what makes Lu Bu even more intolerable is that in the end, even the captain of Sili has become Liu Bei.

Liu Bei presided over the military affairs of Luoyang and Jinggi, didn't he want Lu Bu to obey him?

In the sound of broken footsteps, Diao Chan twisted his waist and swung his hips into the side hall, and said to Lu Bu with a smile like a flower: "The general is in a bad mood, why don't you dance a dance to relieve the general's boredom?" ”

"Hmm."

Lu Bu nodded slightly, and Diao Chan shook his willow waist lightly and danced.

Lu Bu hit the case with bamboo chopsticks, whispered and groaned, Diao Chan danced a song, Lu Bu gradually felt better, Yinxing was prosperous, and the ape arm lightly hugged Diao Chan's plump and fat delicate body into his arms, making her sit on his lap. Diao Chan's quite round ** just pressed against Lu Bu's crotch, and Diao Chan, who was good at charming, lost no time in shaking **, making Lu Bu horny.

Lu Bu lifted Diao Chan's seven-colored clothes, stretched out his hand to hold Diao Chan's snow-white fat buttocks, and was about to kiss Fang Ze, when a loud shout of the pro-soldiers suddenly sounded outside the hall: "Lord Situ is here~~"

"Father?"

"Father-in-law?"

Diao Chan and Lu Bu hurriedly separated their bodies, Diao Chan straightened his cheeks and scattered hair, looked back and threw a wink at Lu Bu, and seduced Lu Bu to the soul, and then Lianbu Shanshan went to the back hall. Seeing Diao Chan's seductive delicate body disappear behind the screen, Lu Bu sighed in disappointment and sat up straight.

In less than a moment, Wang Yun came suddenly.

Lu Bu gave Wang Yun a shallow look, deliberately turned his head sideways and did not look at Wang Yun, and said indifferently: "The little son-in-law meets my father-in-law." ”

Seeing Lu Bu's face like this, how could Wang Yun not know Lu Bu's thoughts?

Wang Yun sighed at that time: "Feng Xian is resentful in his heart because of his father's words and has no faith, and he has never persuaded the Son of Heaven to crown you as the hussar general of the dynasty?" ”

Lu Bu said: "How dare the little son-in-law. ”

"Alas, how can a father not know thy thoughts?" Wang Yun said, "But if you are a prophet, your father has not persuaded the Son of Heaven to make you a hussar general, but it is for your own good." ”

"For the good of the son-in-law?" Lu Bu was stunned and said, "How can you say this?" ”

Wang Yundao: "Feng Xian can know why Liu Bei was able to become a captain and lead the army to stay in Luoyang?" ”

Lu Budao: "How does the son-in-law know why Liu Bei, a pawn of a peddler, can be a captain of the boss?" ”

"It is precisely because Liu Bei is a pawn of a peddler, immoral and incompetent, that he can become a captain of the boss and a lieutenant, so he can stay in Luoyang." Wang Yundao, "If your father wins the position of lieutenant of this division for Feng Xian, it will hurt Feng Xian's son!" The princes of the Eighteenth Route Kwantung are all ambitious, how can they sit back and watch Feng Xianxiong occupy Luoyang and coerce the Son of Heaven to order the princes? ”

"This~~" Lu Bu said suddenly, "I see." ”

Wang Yun said: "But my father came here today, but I have good news to tell you." ”

"Oh, what's the good news?"

Wang Yundao: "Just now the imperial court received an urgent report from Yanzhou, the Qingzhou Yellow Turban resurged, and millions of thieves entered the territory of Yanzhou, Yanzhou Mu Liu Dai led the army to crusade, but he didn't want to be defeated by the thieves, Liu Dai himself was also hit by several arrows and died in the chaos!" As the father has been on the table, he asked the Son of Heaven to release the Yanzhou assassination history and lead the army to quell the Yellow Turban Rebellion. ”

Lu Bu was overjoyed when he heard this: "Is this true? ”

"Seriously." Wang Yun smiled and said, "How can my father play tricks on you." ”

……

The Imperial Palace, the dormitory of the Empress Dowager Ho.

Empress Dowager He's jade hand was lightly soothed, and she said to Liu Bei: "Uncle Huang, please take a seat." ”

Liu Bei clasped his fists to the end, and replied respectfully: "Empress Dowager Xie." ”

Empress Dowager He smiled, glanced at Liu Bei charmingly, and said: "Since the imperial uncle is the head of the imperial family, he is like a member of his own family, so there is no need to be so restrained. ”

Liu Bei hugged his fists and responded: "Dare not obey your fate." ”

Empress Dowager He covered her mouth and chuckled, remembering that she had a straight face again, and said: "The resurgence of the Qingzhou Yellow Turban, and the defeat and killing of Yanzhou Mu Liu Dai, Uncle Huang must already know, right?" ”

Liu Bei said: "I already know everything. ”

Empress Dowager He said: "Who does Uncle Huang think he should send to crusade?" ”

Liu Bei said: "The state affairs are important, and the Queen Mother is also invited to make a decision." ”

Empress Dowager He nodded slightly, obviously extremely satisfied with Liu Bei's performance, so she put what she thought and thought in her heart, and asked Liu Bei: "In the past, when the princes of the eighteenth road of Kwantung gathered in Luoyang, the remaining seventeen roads were all stationed in Luoyang. The mourning family thought that Cao Ying should be the pastor of Yanzhou and lead the army to quell the rebellion, did the imperial uncle think it was appropriate? ”

Liu Bei said: "It's very proper. ”

Empress Dowager He said again: "However, Lord Situ has already been on the table, and asked Lu Bu to be the pastor of Yanzhou, and it is not good to talk to him about this matter, so I ask the imperial uncle to move to Situ Mansion to explain everything to Lord Wang Yun." ”

Liu Bei said: "Prepare for the order." ”

(To be continued)
