Chapter 905: Prince Wuhuan
In the battle in the Hetao area, Qubei undoubtedly had an absolute advantage, and at this time in Xiangping City, a large army was preparing in the barracks.
This army has 20,000 people, and for the heroes of the Central Plains, maybe their number is not very large, but for Gongsun Du of Liaodong, this army is a force that he can use in his hands.
The number of the Liaodong Army is not very large, 20,000 people, for the Liaodong Army, it is already half of the number of people who went to fight.
The reason why so many people were sent to Hetao was because Hua Tuo treated Gongsun Du's eye disease.
Leading this team were Gongsun Du's son Gongsun Kang and his daughter Gongsun Lan, who had threatened Liu Wei in the past.
Dressed in a military uniform, Gongsun Lan is still heroic and sassy, dressed as a heroic female general.
It has been a few years since the original attack on Gongsun Zhan, although Gongsun Lan's heroic appearance has not diminished, but the corners of her pretty eyes have also been carved with a few thin crow's feet by the years.
If Gongsun Lan lived in the Central Plains, the years might not have made her face climb crow's feet too hastily, but she lived in the bitter cold of Liaodong, and the dry and cold climate made her pretty face age prematurely.
Now that Gongsun Lan meets Lu Bu, she may no longer have the capital to tempt Lu Bu, but assisting Gongsun Du in Liaodong all the year round has made her a little more sure of political affairs.
On the order of Gongsun Du, Gongsun Kang and Gongsun Lan gathered 20,000 soldiers and horses and led the army to the outside of the military camp.
Out of the barracks, Gongsun Kang turned his head and whispered to Gongsun Lan: "Sister, the two of us only led 20,000 soldiers and horses to Hetao, but there are 200,000 people in the country, how can we break the country?" ”
"20,000 elite soldiers, but they have driven out 200,000 rabble!" With a sweet smile, Gongsun Lan said to Gongsun Kang: "What's more, our army entered the Hetao and did not fight alone!" ”
"Sister means ......" I only knew that my own family had sent troops, and I didn't know that there were other heroes who had sent troops to fight against the Xiongnu, Gongsun Kang's brows furrowed slightly, and he lowered his voice and asked Gongsun Lan: "Could it be that the King of Qin will send a large army to the Hetao?" ”
"No, no!" Waving his hand, Gongsun Lan looked at the street leading to the city gate, and said to Gongsun Kang: "Cao Jun is currently in the Xia Cai area, and may crusade against Liu Bei at any time, the King of Qin will definitely not send soldiers and horses to Hetao at this time!" ”
"That ......" learned that King Qin would not send soldiers and horses, Gongsun Kang looked dazed, his mouth opened, as if he wanted to ask the words, but when the words came to his mouth, he didn't ask anything in the end.
Knowing what Gongsun Kang wanted to ask, Gongsun Lan didn't give him any response, just smiled slightly, didn't say anything, and rode towards the city gate.
The 20,000-strong army walked on the street, and the people of Xiangping on the street saw the army driving out, and those who were far away hurriedly ran to the end of the street, and those who were too close to run away immediately ran away all ran to both sides of the street, standing on the side of the road and watching the army that was marching out of the city.
The Liaodong Army has not gone out for several years, and now it suddenly marches out of the city, which really makes some Liaodong people feel very uneasy in their hearts, thinking that there is a war in Liaodong.
Before Gongsun Du sat in Liaodong, both Wuhuan and Goryeo often sent troops to Liaodong to plunder.
At that time, the Han Dynasty was in the mediocre rule of Emperor Huan Ling, and the army of the Han Dynasty did not have much combat power, and they did not have much to do about the Wuhuan and Goryeo people who entered Liaodong, so that many people in Liaodong were deeply bullied by these two Yidi.
Although Gongsun Du often showed a violent side in the process of ruling Liaodong, he was very skillful in managing the place.
Liaodong under his rule was not only orderly and prosperous, but also had a very effective army.
Wuhuan and Goryeo people have invaded Liaodong several times, but they have been defeated by Gongsun Du's army, and now Wuhuan and Goryeo, not only do not dare to covet Liaodong, but they all deliberately curry favor with Gongsun Du, for fear of angering him and being penetrated into the hinterland by the Liaodong army.
Gongsun Kang and Gongsun Lan led 20,000 Liaodong troops out of Xiangping, but in Luoyang City, a Wuhuan young man with an entourage was walking towards the Qin Palace.
The Qin Palace, which was the Luoyang Palace before Dong Zhuo moved the capital, was rebuilt, and the Qin Palace, which was quite the spirit of the palace back then.
However, the palace back then was full of lifelessness, but today's Qin Wangfu is full of majesty from the inside out.
Standing outside the main gate of the Qin Palace, the Wuhuan youth looked up at the door of the Qin Palace, and there was always an indifferent smile on the corner of his mouth.
"Young master!" Following behind the Wuhuan youth, the strong man asked him in a low voice: "I have already arrived at the Qin Palace, why didn't the young master step forward and let the guards pass through the Qin King?" ”
"I'm just thinking about what benefits Wuhuan will get when I come to Luoyang and offer to send troops to recruit the Xiongnu for King Qin!" Turning his head to look at the man, the Wuhuan youth smiled slightly and said, "If King Qin is willing to hand over the Hetao area to me Wuhuan , then it will be a profit!" ”
"Since the young master wants it, find the King of Qin and ask for it!" The Wuhuan man obviously didn't have any wisdom, and after the Wuhuan young man spoke, he said: "Wuhuan helped the King of Qin to get rid of the Xiongnu and wanted a few Hetao, how could the King of Qin refuse?" ”
"The earth is the foundation of the country, you still don't know it!" Grinning at the Wuhuan man, the Wuhuan young man raised his feet and walked towards the Qin Palace.
"Stop, who's who?" As soon as the two of them reached the main gate of the palace, two palace guards guarding the main gate greeted them, and one of the guards raised his arm and blocked the way of the two.
In fact, if the guard did not raise his arm to stop them, it was impossible for the two of them to continue walking.
Stopped by the guards, the two hurriedly stopped and gave a fist salute to the guards together.
When saluting, the movements of the Wuhuan youth were chic and smooth, and at first glance he often practiced this kind of etiquette, but the Wuhuan man behind him was much more clumsy in his movements.
"General Annoyance Lao has communicated to His Royal Highness the King of Qin, and Prince Wuhuan has come to meet him!" Putting down the fists he had picked up, the Wuhuan youth reported to himself.
After carefully examining Lou Ban from head to toe, the palace guards who blocked his way explained to him and the Wuhuan man behind him: "Wait here, and I will go to the two of you!" ”
"Thank you, General!" Arching to the guard with his fists again, Lou Ban glanced at the Wuhuan man behind him, and the two of them stood straight outside the main gate of the palace, quietly waiting for the guards who entered the palace to come back.
When Lou Ban led his entourage to the main gate of the palace, Liu Wei was discussing with Xu Shu and Chen Gong how to transfer troops in the front hall.
"Your Highness Qiqi, there is a person outside the mansion who claims to be Prince Wuhuan Louban asking to see you!" Liu Wei and the others were looking at a map in the hall, marking the movement of soldiers and horses, and the guards guarding the palace stood outside the hall, clenching their fists and bowing down to report to Liu Wei.
"Lou Ban?" Hearing this name, Liu Wei's brows furrowed slightly.
He and Wuhuan have never intersected, and he has some impressions of the name Lou Ban, but it is not very profound.
Prince Wuhuan came to ask to see him, and Liu Wei couldn't help but have some doubts in his heart.
The Wuhuan people who have never been in contact with each other, why did they come to Luoyang to see him at this time?
Turning his head to look at Xu Shu and Chen Gong beside him, although Liu Wei did not speak, his eyes had already shown his heart.
After glancing at each other with Liu Wei, Chen Gong stood up straight and said: "Lou Ban should have inherited the throne of Wuhuan in his early years, but it was only because he was too young at that time that the throne was ruined. ”
After Chen Gong made a simple analysis, Xu Shu nodded, and also said to Liu Wei: "Your Highness, Wuhuan is north of Liaodong, like the Huns, with cavalry as the most important, and is good at running thousands of miles. Now that he is in Wuhuan, Lou Ban categorically did not dare to have different intentions, he came here, perhaps because of the instructions of Bang Dun! ”
Nodding, Liu Wei said to Chen Gong and Xu Shu: "I'm waiting here to guess, but I can't guess so, why don't you meet that floor class first, and then make a plan!" ”
Chen Gong and Xu Shu did not object to Liu Bian's suggestion of seeing Lou Ban, and both of them bowed to Liu Bian with their fists in their fists at the same time, although they did not speak, they expressed their approval with body language.
"Bring that floor class!" After a brief discussion with Chen Gong and Xu Shu, Liu Wei gave an order to the guards standing outside the hall.
After Liu Wei's order, the guard hurriedly answered, turned around and ran towards the main gate of the palace.
When they arrived at the main gate of the palace, the guards saw that Lou Ban and his retinue were still waiting there, so he walked over and said to the two: "Your Highness has an order for you to wait for the audience to enter the palace!" ”
"Thank you, General!" Knowing that Liu Wei agreed to summon him, Lou Ban was suddenly overjoyed in his heart, and hurriedly thanked the guard.
"Please!" The guard simply nodded to Lou Ban and his retinue, then stepped aside and made a gesture of invitation to the two of them.
followed the guards into the palace, and before he had taken a few steps, two guards guarding the palace came up and thrust behind Lou Ban, blocking his entourage.
Blocked by the two palace guards, the Wuhuan man who followed Lou Ban into the palace twisted his brows, looking like he wanted to have a seizure.
Before the man could attack, Lou Ban had already turned his head and glanced at him.
Lou Ban's eyes were nothing more than asking the man to endure it, and when he looked at him, the man snorted coldly and stopped.
Witnessing that Lou Ban's entourage was stopped by the guards, the guards who led the two into the palace made a gesture of invitation to Lou Ban again and said, "Please!" ”
The guard said please, and his real intention was nothing more than to urge Lou Ban to go faster.
Urged by the guard, Lou Ban didn't speak, just followed the guard and walked straight towards the steps to the main hall.
On the steps, the guard walked in front, and the building behind him looked up at the palace room above, and sighed secretly in his heart.
The King of Qin did not choose another mansion, but built a palace in the former palace, the purpose is very clear, I am afraid that it will not be long before the King of Qin will announce to the world and return to the emperor's throne.
