Hearing someone knocking on the door, Liu Wei turned his head to look at Guan Qing on the side and glanced at her.

Guan Qing nodded knowingly, got up and walked to the door, and stretched out his hand to open the door.

The door opened, and what appeared in front of Guan Qing was a young man in a snow-white suit.

This young man was born with a face covered with jade, lips like vermilion, black ink-like hair in a high bun, and a pair of big eyes that were even more interested in life than a woman's beautiful eyes.

The young man standing outside the door was almost the same size as Guan Qing, wearing a snow-white dress, and he had a kind of fairy-like charm. Opening the door, Guan Qing and the young man outside the door looked at each other, and each other's brows frowned slightly.

"Who are you?" After looking at the young man from head to toe, Guan Qing asked the young man in a not very kind tone.

In the warm pavilion, Fang'er was still playing the yaoqin while softly singing her own ballad, the young man groaned slightly, hugged his fists and bowed to Guan Qing and said: "It is the Liaodong clan down below, and I learned that there are nobles here, so I came to visit!" Piggyback, talk to the nobles about a living. ”

Listening to the words of the white-clothed young man outside the door, Liu Wei in the room couldn't help but feel a little strange in his heart.

The dragoon guard who was responsible for protecting him was in the hall not far away, if someone wanted to go up to the attic, the dragoon guard would definitely interrogate, but since he went to the attic with Guan Qing and Yuan Xi, the downstairs was quiet, until the young man came to the door, and he didn't see a dragoon guard present to him that someone was visiting.

"Let him in!" Liu Wei was also very curious about how the young man could successfully go up to the attic, so he first gave an order to Guan Qing, and then said to Fang'er, who was playing the yaoqin: "You go out, and I will call you to serve later." ”

"No!" After Liu Wei's instructions, Fang'er knew that he had something important to discuss with the visitors outside the door, and he didn't dare to delay here, so he answered, stood up, bowed slightly, and exited the warm pavilion.

turned sideways, made way for Fang'er, and waited until Fang'er came out of the warm pavilion. The young man in white stepped into the house, and under Guan Qing's surveillance, he bowed to Liu Wei with his fists and said, "Gongsun Lan of Liaodong, meet the King of Luoyang!" ”

"What a bold man!" Liu Wei did not return the salute to Gongsun Lan, he squinted his eyes slightly, a cold smile on the corner of his mouth, and said to Gongsun Lan in an unhurried tone: "I know that this king is here, and you dare to break in directly, aren't you afraid that this king will capture you and cut off your head?" ”

"Your Highness won't!" Before Liu Wei's words fell, Gongsun Lan replied very confidently: "If His Royal Highness wants to cut off the head of his subordinates, as early as Luoyang, his subordinates will already be a dead man......"

Gongsun Lan mentioned Luoyang, Liu Wei frowned, and an unresolved matter suddenly came to mind, his eyes narrowed slightly, his body owed, and he held the low table in front of him with one hand, and asked Gongsun Lan: "Do you know about Guoyuan?" ”

"Everyone in the world is that His Highness is very intelligent, and he will surely revive the foundation of the Han Dynasty!" To Liu Bian's expectation, Gongsun Lan did not deny that he recognized Guoyuan, but said to Liu Bian: "Your Excellency has the honor to meet Your Highness today, and you know that what the world says is true!" Don't dare to deceive His Royal Highness, that Guoyuan was originally a member of the Central Plains, and in his early years, he avoided chaos in Liaodong with Guan Ning and others, and he was quite prestigious among the people of Liaodong, and he knew Liaodong well...... His subordinates and his father are really uneasy......"

Although Gongsun Lan did not say it explicitly, the meaning of the words was very clear to Liu Wei that since Guoyuan chose to leave Liaodong, Liaodong would not allow a person like him, who was familiar with the local situation, to live freely outside, bringing hidden dangers to Liaodong.

Gongsun Lan's frankness made Liu Wei a little less vigilant against him, Liu Wei pressed his hands on his knees again, lowered his body, and asked Gongsun Lan: "General Gongsun is here, is there no one to intercept him?" ”

"Your Highness's dragoon guards are all rare leaders in the world!" When asked about the purpose of his coming here and whether he had been intercepted just now, Gongsun Lan clasped his fists and bowed in response: "If you break through by force, the twelve dragoon guards, my subordinates are afraid that they will gather seven or eight hundred people, and they can all be killed." However, Wu Yong is not invincible in the world, as long as he is a human being, he has weaknesses! His Majesty had already ordered people to do something called hemp boiling in their food and wine......"

"Hemp boiling?" Hearing these three words, Liu Wei was stunned for a moment, knelt up straight again, stared at Gongsun Lan, and asked him, "How did you get Ma Boiling San?" ”

It is no wonder that Liu Wei asked this question, Hua Tuo is now in Luoyang, and he has already served Liu Wei. Ma boiling powder is a carefully blended formula by Hua Tuo, and outsiders don't know how to prepare it. If the formula of hemp boiling is left outside, I am afraid that I will walk in the world in the future, and I will have to pay more attention to it!

Maintaining the posture of clenching his fists and bowing, Gongsun Lan said to Liu Wei: "Don't hide it from Your Highness, Mr. Hua Tuo traveled to Liaodong earlier, and his subordinates got Ma Boiling Powder from Mr. It's just a pity that the medicine is about to run out, but his subordinates don't know where to find Mr. Hua Tuo to ask for more! ”

Liu Wei did not doubt what Gongsun Lan said, since he dared to come here, at least he would not lie to Liu Wei on such a trivial matter as Ma Boiling San.

As the first doctor who dared to open the disembowelment of patients, Ma Boiling Powder is an anesthetic specially developed by Hua Tuo in order to reduce the pain of patients, and the prescription will not be easily passed on to others.

Since Gongsun Lan said that the more than ten dragoon guards have been overturned, I am afraid that this will, even if Gongsun Lan is really unfavorable to Liu Wei and the others, the dragoon guards will not be able to come to support.

"I killed someone in Luoyang, and I would come to meet this king so boldly!" Looking at Gongsun Lan, a faint smile appeared on the corner of Liu Wei's mouth, and he made a gesture to him and said: "General Gongsun, please sit down, come to find this king today, what is the so-called matter, please speak up!" ”

"No!" Maintaining a fist-hugging and bowing posture, Gongsun Lan answered, took two steps back, and sat down behind the fourth low table in the room.

As soon as he sat down, he looked up at Liu Bian, and said to Liu Bian: "Gongsun Chan of Jizhou, and the Yuan clan of Jizhou attack each other, His Royal Highness led the army to Jizhou, presumably to break Gongsun Chan in one fell swoop in the spring of the next year......"

Listening to what Gongsun Lan said, Liu Wei frowned slightly, and did not answer, but stared at Gongsun Lan's snow-white face without blinking.

Being stared at by Liu Wei, Gongsun Lan did not look so cramped, but continued with a very calm expression: "Gongsun Zhan has done everything to His Royal Highness, and the Gongsun family in Liaodong already knows everything. Although it is the grandson of the same surname, my Liaodong is disdainful of it, and my subordinates came on the orders of my father, and I am willing to form an alliance with His Royal Highness and the Yuan family, and send troops to Jizhou......"

"Tell me, what's the benefit?" Without waiting for Gongsun Lan to finish speaking, Liu Wei intercepted his words and said to him: "There is no calculation in the world that does not want benefits, Liaodong sent troops, and I want this king to give you any benefits, although General Gongsun said it bluntly!" ”

Obviously, he didn't expect Liu Wei to directly lead the topic to interests, Gongsun Lan was stunned for a moment, and then his expression calmed down, and he hugged his fists and said to Liu Wei: "Your Highness is serious, the Gongsun family in Liaodong is a Hanchen, how dare you ask Your Highness for benefits." ”

"Hanchen also has the distinction of Han thief and hero!" With an indifferent smile on the corner of his mouth, staring at Gongsun Lan, Liu Wei said to him: "Han thieves, such as Dong Zhuo and others, this king wants to raise troops to fight!" But the hero, this king will never be stingy with rewards! The Gongsun family of Liaodong is willing to accompany the king to crusade against Gongsun Zhan, and it is the hero of my Han Dynasty, so what is it to ask for some benefits? ”

As soon as Liu Biao said this, Gongsun Lan put his mind at ease and said to Liu Bian: "The bitter cold of Liaodong is the place where the Han Dynasty resists Donghu, and the Gongsun family of Liaodong has nothing to think about, and only wants His Royal Highness to enshrine his father as the assassin of Liaodong......"

"Liaodong Assassin Shi ......" listened to Gongsun Lan's request, Liu Wei frowned, pondered for a moment, and said to Gongsun Lan: "The position of Assassin History, I'm afraid that only His Majesty can be canonized today!" ”

"Liaodong only knows His Highness, but not His Majesty!" To Liu Bian's surprise, as soon as his words fell, Gongsun Lan stood up and said to Liu Bian very excitedly: "This great Han world is His Royal Highness!" His Majesty above the court is just a puppet supported by Dong Zhuo! The hero of the world, who obeys him? With the will of his father, His Royal Highness might as well re-establish the temple and ascend the throne as the emperor! Kuang Zheng Dahan Temple! ”

"What General Gongsun said is very true!" Gongsun Lan's words coincided with the intentions of Yuan Shao's father and son, as soon as he said that he wanted Liu Wei to ascend the throne and become emperor, Yuan Xi on the side stood up, strode to the middle of the warm pavilion, hugged his fists and bowed to Liu Wei and said: "If Your Highness ascends the throne, the heroes of the world will definitely be attached!" I, the Yuan family in Jizhou, will bear the brunt! ”

"This matter will be discussed later!" Yuan Shao's father and son have mentioned more than once that they want Liu Wei to ascend the throne, but Liu Wei knows that Li Dao and Guo Yan will be chaotic over time, and Liu Xie still has the possibility of turning over, and it is not the best time to ascend to the throne at this time, so he categorically refused the two of them: "The future cannot be said yet, and now this king will never ascend the throne and become the emperor, so don't mention this matter again!" ”

was rejected by Liu Wei in person, Yuan Xi was already accustomed to it, confessed his guilt, and sat down after returning to the low table. Gongsun Lan's face couldn't help but show a touch of loss.

"What are your plans to help King Ben attack Gongsun Zan and the Gongsun family of Liaodong?" Without waiting for Gongsun Lan to speak, Liu Wei shifted the topic to the attack on Gongsun Zhan and asked Gongsun Lan, "When are you waiting to send troops?" How many troops to send? If Gongsun Chan is really defeated in the coming day, this king will definitely petition His Majesty to entitle General Gongsun Du as the assassin of Liaodong! ”

"Your Highness!" Liu Bian's refusal to be the emperor made Gongsun Lan feel very uncomfortable in his heart, but he agreed to petition Liu Xie to canonize Gongsun Du as the assassin of Liaodong, but Gongsun Lan was overjoyed, and hurriedly thanked Liu Bian, and said to Liu Bian: "In the beginning of spring, 50,000 Liaodong troops will go straight to Yuyang and meet with His Royal Highness in Yuyang!" I wonder what His Highness thinks? ”

Gongsun Du settled in Liaodong that year and took Liaodong as his own, and after years of development, his strength was already very strong. The reason why he recognized Liu Wei and did not want to recognize Liu Xie as the emperor was because Liu Wei had hundreds of thousands of Luoyang troops under his command, and compared with Liu Xie in Chang'an, he was more likely to be able to hold the foundation of the Han Dynasty.

Compared with the fourth and third dukes, Yuan Shao, who has deep feelings for the Han Dynasty, Gongsun Du is more like a speculator. He is just betting on the side that seems to be easier to win, in order to win more benefits for the Gongsun family of Liaodong in the future.

Liu Wei promised to implore Liu Xie to entitle Gongsun Du as the assassin of Liaodong, and it was a benefit that the Gongsun family of Liaodong never thought of getting it.

On the order of Gongsun Du, Gongsun Lan, who came to show Liu Bian's good intentions, calculated that the benefits had been all in hand, and even if he said that there would be 50,000 troops in Liaodong to go south, he would help Liu Bian break through Gongsun Zhan.
