In Luoyang City, the streets and alleys are becoming more and more prosperous, the peddlers are pawns, and the merchants and rangers are constantly coming and going, which is really another prosperous scene.

Liu Xie's big banquet, the real planning has not yet begun, but it has already begun to show results

Today, there are only a few princes left, either in person or envoys, but they have all arrived!

…

"Brother Yongnian, you have been with the lord for a long time longer than me, do you know the lord's mind?"

In a post station in Luoyang, Chen Zhen, who was sent by Liu Xiu to Luoyang to participate in the banquet, was getting together with Zhang Song, discussing in a whisper, and beside the two of them, there was a heroic middle-aged man in a white robe and a sword hanging from his waist, but it was Xue Li and Xue Rengui.

As soon as Zhang Song heard Chen Zhen's question, his small eyes turned, and he didn't answer, but turned his head to look at Xue Rengui and asked: "General Xue is a confidant general under the command of the lord, and it is rumored that he is still the first general in my Chu army, and he fights with the lord every day, I don't know if I know the goal that the lord asked me to come to Luoyang this time, and I want to achieve it?!" ”

Zhang Song is one of the first of a large number of newcomers in Nanyang to join Liu Xiu, coupled with his ingenuity, he naturally quickly saw the distribution of factions under Liu Xiu's command:

Among them, a large number of political affairs are handled by a few scribes who have followed their own lord for several years, and these scribes, each with their own strengths, have been reasonably appointed by their own lord, and the talents they have exerted, in his Zhang Song's eyes, it is definitely the talent of the prime minister of the prosperous era, even if he thinks that he is not inferior to anyone, but compared with these people, he has to be a little ashamed; The military under the command of his own lord was almost handed over to a few governors under his command, as well as those generals who were unknown in the past but could make a splash; And this Xue Rengui, as far as he knows, is now the general who is now in charge of tens of thousands of soldiers and horses in Xiangyang. Both civil and military, very favored...

"General Xue is the general of the Xiangyang Army, and he was also sent by the lord to protect the two of us, presumably the lord has other arrangements, I don't know if this is the case?" Zhang Song's ugly face is matched with his shrewdness. It makes people feel like a god operator...

"Mr. Yongnian has an overreputation..."Xue Rengui smiled lightly and said politely, "In fact, the lord did not give the last general any special arrangements, the straight road is this trip to Luoyang, there will be countless cows, ghosts, snakes and gods, so the last general is sent to accompany him, one is to protect the two gentlemen, and the other is not to weaken the prestige of the lord." ”

Liu Xiu did arrange a task for Xue Rengui in this way, but in fact, he secretly gave him another arrangement. That is to find out who is the person who made the advice in Luoyang, and what the situation is in the Luoyang army. And the one who can do these two is naturally Xue Rengui, who is calm and strong in both civil and military affairs, is more suitable

"I see," Zhang Song and Chen Zhen glanced at each other, slightly relieved, after all, Xue Rengui was still close to the lord, "Since this is the case, then this trip will be more troublesome to General Xue..."

"This trip to Luoyang. The lord also only asked the two of us to explore the bottom of Luoyang and the hearts of the princes of all parties. There was no further arrangement..."

…

At the same time, Cao Cao's and Sun Quan's envoys had also arrived in Luoyang one after another.

"Hasn't Fengxian come out of the battle of Xiangyang yet?!"

Another post station, where Cao Cao's three envoys lived, was headed by Xun Yu, supplemented by Dong Zhao, and the three envoys guarded by Lu Bu. Among the three of them, two of them can be said to have a lot of worries, and only Dong Zhao, who is nearly half a hundred years old, is in a relatively calm state.

Dong Zhao, who used to be Yuan Shaomou, later joined the public. In the end, Liu Xie was welcomed back, and Cao Cao was advised to welcome the emperor to Xuchang, which was valued by Cao Cao and trusted him very much; It can be said that he is in Cao Ying, just like Liu Ye's status in Cao Ying in his previous life.

At this moment, Xun Yu was not quiet because of his mistakes in Xuchang, if he hadn't been in charge of all the things of Liu Xie when he was in Xuchang, I was afraid that it would not be suitable to come to Luoyang at this time; And Lu Bu, since the previous defeat in Xiangyang, for a few months, Lu Bu has been sluggish for a while, if it weren't for the continuous persuasion and encouragement of his son-in-law and apprentice, Cao Zhang, I am afraid it would be even worse at this time

Dong Zhao saw that Lu Bu's face was calm, and he did not have the arrogance and high spirits of the past, so he asked.

"Huh...!" Lu Bu's handsome face grew a short beard, he stretched out his hand to stroke the short beard, without saying a word or smiling, but seeing Dong Zhaoxunyu's expression, he said after a while: "The two gentlemen are worried, Feng Xian is fine, but I am just thinking, Feng Xian is not a defeat, how can the prime minister let me protect the two gentlemen to Luoyang!" ”

"Feng Xian is really too humble, Feng Xian is the world's leading fierce general, how can he be so humble?!" Dong Zhao did not hesitate to praise, this time the three of them were ordered to come to Luoyang, the primary purpose was to find out what kind of cultivation the strategists and other strengths around Liu Xie had gotten to have the current situation...

The changes here and the confrontation of many forces are very complicated, and if you can't calm down and conspire with each other, I'm afraid that you won't be able to do your best

…

On the other side, Sun's residence, the messengers sent were Zhuge Jin and Zhou Tai, Sun's according to Luoyang, the so-called [distant friendship and close attack], this emperor is not only orthodox, but also can threaten Cao Cao and others, if he can plan, Sun will definitely have something...

"Mr. Ziyu, the lord asked us to come this time in order to unite the emperor and jointly suppress Cao Cao and Liu Xiu," Zhou Tai is a fierce person, and his mind is also simple, since he has been entrusted with Sun Quan's task and came to assist Zhuge Jin, he is naturally very anxious, "Now that we are here, should we go to meet Your Majesty first, and make our intentions clear, so as to prepare for the next plan?!" ”

"Don't worry, don't worry, it's not a good thing to go to see Your Majesty so easily, if others know about it! Therefore, I can't be in a hurry, I can't be in a hurry..."Zhuge Jin seems to be a little slow, and when he speaks, he doesn't want to be in his chest at all, and his writing is weak, but he seems to be a chronic child

"General Zhou Tai, Cao Cao, and Liu Xiu's envoys have also arrived, right?!" Zhuge Jin changed his words and asked seriously.

"According to the report from the spies, not only Cao Cao and Liu Xiu, but even Han Sui from Xiliang also sent people, and Liu Bei and Ma Teng came in person, the personnel of all parties are different, and the purpose is still unknown..."

"So"

……

Since the forces in Luoyang have gathered, Emperor Liu Xie got the news, and naturally announced the envoys of the Quartet and held a big banquet

"Mr. Gongtai, but everything is ready?!" Liu Xie smiled lightly, he had never been so high-spirited, although he was not from the princes in person, but the envoys from all sides came to the court, and he also attracted a large number of displaced people, people, and clans, but he made a lot of money...

"Your Majesty, rest assured, it's ready..."Chen Gong replied with a light smile.

"Then Mr. Yuanzhi has news?!" Liu Xie continued to ask,

"There is no news yet, but since Liu Bei has arrived in Luoyang, there must be no problems in Tongguan..."

"What's more, with Brother Yuan's ingenuity, there will definitely be no problem!" (To be continued.) )
