This Cen Bi is the Cen Bi that followed Liu Chuang to Beihai from Linzi back then. He was originally Yuan Tan's general, but he was not valued by Yuan Tan, so he defected to Liu Chuang. It's just that when Liu Chuang abandoned the foundation of Beihai and went to Liaodong, Cen Bi was unwilling to accompany him......

Fortunately, he is proficient in swords and horses, and his martial arts are extraordinary.

Liu Chuang introduced him to Pingyuan Liu Ping, who in turn recommended him to Yuan Shao.

It's just that he didn't expect to meet in Yecheng, Liu Chuang was also very surprised, and hurriedly dismounted to help.

Cen Bi showed a wry smile on his face, saluted Liu Chuang again, and said softly: "Since Beihai, Bi is very much thinking of Uncle Huang, and he has come to pay a visit." ”

In his words, there was a look of remorse.

Looking at his appearance, Liu Chuang knew that he was not good now.

It's no wonder that he was originally Yuan Tan's subordinate, and then followed Liu Chuang, even if he was introduced by Liu Ping, I am afraid it will be difficult to be reused by Yuan Shao.

In the winter of the fourth year of Jian'an, Liu Ping died of illness.

Without Liu Ping's care, Cen Bi's status also plummeted.

Now, he is the guard of the gate of Yecheng, that is, the gate where Liu broke out of the city.

Cen Bi also regrets it now, thinking that when he was in Beihai, he valued Liu Chuang and became the captain of Duchang, which can be regarded as the commander of the first army. When Liu Chuang left Beihai, Cen Bi was reluctant to follow Liu Chuang to Liaodong, so he switched to Yuan Shao. But how could a person like him be valued by Yuan Shao? After Yuan Shao's death, Cen Bi was even more suppressed, and he was depressed in Yecheng.

If he followed Liu Chuang to Liaodong at the beginning, he is now also a general of the First Army.

You don't see Xu Sheng, who was not as good as him at the beginning, and now he has also done the duty of Dingxiang Taishou, although he is deserted. But after all, it's two thousand stones.

But what about yourself?

So. Liu Chuang came to Yecheng this time. Cen Bi had a thought.

He was the guard of the city gates, and his men were all his cronies. Seeing Liu Chuang go out of the city, he couldn't help but follow him out of the city and came to visit Liu Chuang.

Looking at Liu Chuang's kind and warm smile, Cen Bi's eyes turned red and he was grateful.

"At the beginning, I didn't get through with the emperor's uncle, and now I regret it."

Liu Chuang smiled slightly. only patted Cen Bi and said: "General Cen doesn't have to be like this, now Yuan and Liu are united to fight against Cao, I believe there will be many opportunities." When a general has real talent and real learning, why should he be like this when he has his own military skills? ”

When Cen Bi heard this, he was even more ashamed.

Since he was outside the city, Cen Bi was also on duty, so Liu Chuang couldn't talk to him too much and could only encourage him.

But for Cen Bi, that's enough.

At the time of separation, Cen Bi suddenly said: "Uncle Huang is here to Yecheng." Be careful.

There is now a lot of turmoil in the city, and I have heard that many people have secretly contacted Cao Cao. I can't tell when, an accident will happen.

If possible, do not garrison Yecheng to avoid being affected. According to Yecheng, there is a Pingyang City sixty miles east of Yecheng, the city wall is strong, even if it encounters danger, it can resist for a while. If Uncle Huang wants to garrison the army, then Pingyang City is the best place to go......"

Liu Chuang nodded, indicating that he understood.

He and Cen Bi talked a few more words, and the two immediately separated.

"Lord, who is that?"

Lu Xun, Lu Yu and Pang De didn't recognize Cen Bi, so they couldn't help but ask.

Liu Chuang told Cen Bi about it, but it caused Pang De and the three of them to show disdain, and shook their heads again and again, "Such a person who is in the twilight of Qin, the lord should not be gullible. ”

"At that time, I was not very sure about the situation."

Liu Chuang sighed softly, "Cen Bi chose to leave at that time, and it's no wonder that he was there.

Everyone has their own aspirations, and they can't force it...... As the saying goes, husband and wife are birds of the same forest, and they fly separately when disaster comes. Husband and wife are still like this, not to mention that I was really in a bad situation at the time, Beihai Donglai was threatened by Cao Cao, and I was still trapped in Xudu, life and death were uncertain...... Choosing to go to Liaodong is also a helpless move. I didn't expect that I could gain a foothold in Liaodong so quickly. ”

Lu Yu couldn't help but say: "The lord is really benevolent!" ”

Liu Chuang heard this and smiled......

Liu Chuang and the others returned to the camp and rested early.

But Yecheng is an undercurrent surging.

Liu Chuang's arrival disrupted many people's calculations. And the self-confidence he showed also made many people secretly feel frightened.

People who are close to Liu Chuang are naturally full of confidence.

Those who don't kiss Liu Chuang are secretly worried...... But the reasons for this concern vary. Some are worried that Liu Chuang will come with a big victory, which will help Yuan Shang's arrogance; Some are worried that Liu Chuang's visit will bring great variables to their previous plans.

In fact, after Liu Chuang left that night, Yuan Shang returned to the mansion and took Yuan Shao's Sizhao Sword to cut off the food case, determined to join Liu to resist Cao and never change. Compared with Yuan Shao's hesitant expression before Liu Chuang's arrival, the variables brought by Liu Chuang are indeed not small.

"Zhaofeng, the third prince has made up his mind, it seems that our previous plan may change."

The southeast corner of Yecheng, the court.

Chen Lin sat on the couch, showing a panicked look.

"Kong Zhang, don't panic, our plan is extremely secretive, only a few people except you and me know about it, even if that Liu Chuang comes, he can't detect it. However, this person is quite lucky, and his means are inexplicable. If he lives in Yecheng for a long time, he is afraid that he will see the flaws, so he must guard against it.

Now Yuan Xiansi has made up his mind to fight with Cao Gong, and we can't continue to persuade him.

Since he wants to help Yuan Tan, we will resolutely support him...... When he leaves Yecheng, you and I have a chance to act...... But before that, Liu Chuangcai must be eliminated. In this matter, we must do our best to plan, so as not to dream too much at night and leak the news. ”

Judging Rong is the nephew of the trial.

His parents died when he was a child, and he was raised by a trial and raised.

The trial was killed at the hands of Liu Chuang, which also made the trial Rong hate Liu Chuang.

However, in history, he once took refuge in Cao Cao, causing Yecheng to be lost, and he was set on fire to the southeast corner tower and buried in the fire.

He looked up at Chen Lin, and a look of cruelty flashed in his eyes.

"Kong Zhang, you and I have no way back now, only to move forward.

You don't have to worry too much about this matter, I believe that as long as you and I are stable, there will be no risk...... However, you have to work harder on the other side. He couldn't make up his mind. If you can't get him on board. Sooner or later, it will put you and me in a desperate situation.

And also. That old man is really troublesome.

Rather than letting him continue to make trouble, it is better to let him go down to accompany Yuan Gong...... Doesn't he always speak of faithfulness? I believe that he must be willing to be with Yuan Gong. ”

Chen Lin shuddered, looked at Xian Rong, and his eyes showed fear.

He regrets it now, there is a way to be greedy and misguided...... If it weren't for the fact that he was drunk and was taken by Xianrong before, how could he take such a risk. But as Xingrong said, he has no way out. Now the plan is to only hope that Cao Cao can call Yecheng as much as possible.

++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

Next. Liu Chuang entered the city again and discussed specific cooperation matters with Yuan Shang.

According to Liu Chuang's previous discussion with Lu Xun, Lu Yu and others, Yecheng and they categorically will not stay. This is not because of Cen Bi's words, but from the very beginning, Liu Chuang thought that the place of Yecheng was too complicated, and if he stayed in Yecheng, he would be involved in it if he was not careful.

Moreover, Cen Bi's warning also made Liu Chuang careful.

Staying in Yecheng is definitely not the best policy!

Fortunately, Yuan Shang didn't seem to be willing to let him stay in Yecheng. Worried that Liu Chuang's stay in Yecheng for too long would have adverse consequences...... After discussing with Liu Chuang. Yuan Shang said that Liu Chuang could be stationed in Wucheng, forty miles east of Yecheng. Originally, Liu Chuang hoped to be stationed in Pingyang City, but when he inquired later, he learned that Pingyang City was indeed strong, but he hoarded a lot of grain and grass. How could Yuan Shang agree?

However, Wucheng seems to be not bad, it is smaller than Pingyang, with a population of thousands, like a dock fort.

"Early this morning, I received a request for help from my brother, Yan Yanliang and Xu You have already arrived at the city of Liyang, asking me to send troops to rescue me.

I am going to personally lead the troops and horses to Liyang to help in the battle, and when the time comes, I will ask the imperial uncle to help me protect the grain road, and after I repel the thieves, we will talk in detail. ”

Liu Chuang heard about it and did not refuse.

Historically, during the Battle of Liyang, Yuan Shang did send troops to rescue Yuan Tan.

Originally, the two brothers worked together, and they could indeed stop Cao Cao. Who knew that Yuan Tan later negotiated peace with Cao Cao in private and betrayed Yuan Shang, so that the relationship between the two brothers broke down completely, and gave Cao Cao a chance to break through, so that Cao Cao unified the north.

"Third son, please pay attention to Brother Ling."

Although he knew that it was not good to say these words, Liu Chuang still couldn't help it and reminded him.

Yuan Shang was stunned when he heard this, and immediately smiled: "Uncle Huang doesn't have to worry, my brother is not a stupid person, how can he do something unfavorable to me?" ”

He is indeed not stupid, but he is greedy for profit.

But Liu Chuang categorically won't say this kind of thing, and if he talks too much, it will make Yuan Shang misunderstand.

"In this way, I wish the third prince a victory and success."

Yuan Shang laughed and gladly accepted Liu Chuang's blessing......

To send troops to rescue Liyang, some preparations need to be made.

Liu Chuang did not bother Yuan Shang anymore, so he said goodbye and left.

Walking out of the mansion, he found Lu Yu, and after whispering a few words in Lu Yu's ear, Lu Yu left in a hurry.

"Ling Ming, Bo Yan, it's still early, how about we take a walk around this Yecheng?"

Liu Chuang suddenly became interested and proposed to Pang De and Lu Xun to build a yì.

The two naturally would not refuse Liu Chuang's request, so they took more than ten people to stroll through the streets of Yecheng in simple clothes.

In later generations, Yecheng was the ancient capital of the Six Dynasties.

After the six dynasties of Cao Wei, Later Zhao, Ran Wei, Qianyan, Eastern Wei and Northern Qi, it was the political, economic, cultural and military center of the Great River Basin for four centuries, and finally fell into the flames of war. Liu Chuang couldn't imagine what Yecheng would look like four centuries later, but for now, it is not small, with a population of more than 200,000 people, and it can be regarded as an important place in Hebei.

After Yuan Shao occupied Jizhou, he expanded and repaired Yecheng several times, and the city wall was as high as eight zhang, which was almost the same as Luoyang.

Liu Chuang and his entourage walked in the streets of Yecheng, but they clearly felt the floating and panic in the sky above Yecheng. Yuan Shang was too young and did not have enough merits, so that although he took over the position of general, he was never able to eliminate the concerns and horrors of the people of Yecheng.

Cao Cao's troops sent to Liyang, and Yecheng had received the news.

The people in the city obviously have not yet established confidence in Yuan Shang, so it is inevitable that there will be some turmoil.

Cen Bi and Yang Feng were right, under such circumstances, it was really difficult to resist Cao Cao's iron horseman......

As I walked through the street, I heard a commotion ahead.

A group of people gathered around the street, talking nonsense.

"That fool is already pitiful enough, why bother with him?"

"Alas, whoever let his Dong family decline like this, even a person can bully him."

"Let's talk less...... Didn't you see that it was someone from the Tao family?

Now Tao Sheng has won the favor of the general, which is no longer than before. thought that at the beginning, Tao Sheng's father died at the hands of his Dong family, and now that Tao Sheng has gained power, he will naturally not let go of this fool of the Dong family. This kind of thing, let's not get involved, if you don't get it right, you will get into trouble. ”

Liu Chuang's heart moved, and he stepped forward.

He squeezed into the crowd and saw that in the middle of the market, more than a dozen strong men were punching and kicking a teenager.

The young man had an ugly appearance, a lion nose and a wide mouth, and his hair was unkempt. But looking at the size, this boy is particularly amazing...... The figure of more than two meters tall is much taller than Liu Chuang, and his body is extremely majestic. His clothes were tattered and his face was covered with blood, but he clung to a package in his arms and let the other party beat him, but he refused to let go.

Liu Chuang frowned and couldn't help frowning.

He was about to ask the people around him, but he heard a strong man say loudly: "You ugly ghost, if you don't hand over your things today, don't blame us for being ruthless." ”

"This is what my father left me, why did you beat me."

The young man spoke with a puff of breath, and tears glistened with tears in his eyes.

"What my lord wants, that's my lord's...... Dong Fatzi, I'll put my words here, if you don't hand over this set of Tang Yi Treasure Armor today, you won't want to live. ”

"My dad won't let me fight, don't force me."

"Ha, a fool, dare to be arrogant?

Boy, if you dare to move a finger of mine, you will want your old lady to pay for her life. ”

On the side, Lu Xun grabbed a person and asked, "What the hell is going on?" ”

"What else, the fool of the Dong family has a set of Tang Yi treasure armor, and Master Tao wants to use it to present it to the general.

The fool refused to hand it over, so he was beaten day by day. But this kid is really stupid, is a set of Tang Yi treasure armor worth it? ”

"Tang Qi Bao Armor, how could he have such precious armor?"

"The little brother is afraid that he is an outsider, but he doesn't know the origin of this fat man.

His family was originally a descendant of the Dong family of the Hejian Wang family, and the Dong family had a remarkable figure, that is, Empress Xiaoren...... It's a pity that as soon as Empress Xiaoren died, the Dong family suffered a catastrophe. This Tang Yi treasure armor was originally an item given to his father by Empress Xiaoren, but somehow Master Tao knew about it, so he went to ask for it. But how could Dong Fatzi hand over this thing, so he was bullied every day.

Huge, but only beaten......"

As he spoke, he smiled and showed disdain.

Empress Hyo-in?

Liu Chuang was suddenly shocked in his heart......

Who is this Queen Hyoin? It is the Empress Dowager Dong, the mother of Emperor Liu Hong of the Han Dynasty.

After the death of Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty, Empress Dowager Dong had a dispute with Empress He at that time because of the issue of establishing a successor.

Empress He wants to set up her own son, that is, the young emperor Liu Wei; However, Empress Dowager Dong was closer to the son born to Wang Meiren, who is now the Han Emperor Liu Xie. In the end, Empress He got the support of her brother, the general He Jin, and pushed the fourteen-year-old Liu Bian to the emperor's throne.

Since ancient times, this battle for succession has always been extremely cruel.

Empress Dowager Dong had neither the support of the DPRK and Chinese officials, nor the strong strength, so she dared to participate in it, and the end was naturally miserable.

After the young emperor ascended the throne, He Jin united with the three dukes: Empress Dowager Dong was originally a feudal concubine, and it was not suitable to live in the palace for a long time, so she should be moved to the river to settle down......

Later, Empress Dowager Dong died on the way back to the river.

He Jin then ordered the suppression of the Dong family.

The Dong clan was not strong, and it quickly fell into decay under He Jin's suppression, but he didn't expect that there was still a vein left, so he hid in this Yecheng to live.
