Chapter 427: Meeting of the Giants (2-in-1)

Jingzhou, Xiangyang Thorn History.

Since the Jingzhou soldiers returned to the division in Runan in Zhongzhou, Liu Bei has become a little strange, he locked himself in the inner house of the mansion all day long, no matter who comes, he will not see, even if Guan Yu and Zhang Fei, the two sworn brothers, come to find him, he is also hiding in the mansion, on the grounds of cold and lack of body, rarely treat each other.

Of course, there are exceptions to this.

There are two people who can still enter the mansion to see Liu Bei every day, these two people are none other than his two main and deputy military advisors, Zhuge Liang and Pang Tong.

Guan Yu and Zhang Fei have a big opinion on this matter, when they were in Zhuo County, their brothers fell to the ground with a brain, and it has been twenty-five years now, and the eldest brother has always discussed with these two younger brothers first about anything, whether it is public or private affairs, outsiders have no way to intervene!

Speaking of privacy, even Liu Bei can have a nightlife a few times, which day a month is mighty and which day is soft, Guan Zhang and the two of them know better than Liu Bei's two wives.

In a word: As soon as Liu Bei pouted his buttocks, Guan Zhang and the two of them could know what kind of shit he had.

But this time Liu Bei, Guan Zhang and the others couldn't smell it, but Cheng Zhuge Liang and Pang Tong tasted it for them, so Guan Yu and Zhang Fei were a little unhappy.

In fact, there is no way to do this, because this entanglement of Liu Bei is by no means something that can be realized by discussing with Guan Yu and Zhang Fei.

Now, only Kong Ming and Pang Tong can successfully solve the siege for themselves.

In the secret room in the courtyard of Liu Bei's deep mansion, Liu Bei, Kong Ming, and Pang Tong formed a small circle, and the expressions of the three of them were very serious at the moment.

When he was young, it was Liu Bei himself who interrupted the embarrassment.

"Alas, I never thought that I didn't let others do this time, but let His Majesty calculate. His Majesty did not come to Jingzhou, but went to Luoyang, the eastern capital...... This is clearly to believe me, two military advisors, what do you say about this? ”

Kong Ming swayed his feather fan, and smiled bitterly when he heard this: "The lord doesn't have to be so distressed, the lord has miscalculated His Majesty, and Liang and Shiyuan have not miscalculated Yuan Zhi...... I never thought that he would move east to Luoyang for the Son of Heaven, it seems that in the past few years, he is no longer the best friend who was simply friends with us in Jingzhou. ”

Liu Bei sighed, and then shook the letter in his hand. Said: "The Son of Heaven has returned to Luoyang, located at the intersection of the three families, and the two gentlemen have also analyzed it clearly, and this move is very powerful...... It's just that now Yuan Shang has sent a messenger again, inviting Bei to go to Luoyang with Cao Zhi to congratulate the Son of Heaven......"

Speaking of this, Liu Bei smiled bitterly and said, "Of course, the essence of this Chaohe, the two military advisors are also very clear. You say, Yuan Shang invites you, am I going or not going? ”

Zhuge Liang shook his feather fan and did not speak. Pang Tong said: "Whether to go or not, the pros and cons of this are clear to the lord, a certain family just wants to ask the lord, if the lord wants to go." Can you pass this level in your heart? ”

What Pang Tong means by this is that you, Liu Bei, have always dominated the world in the name of supporting the Han family and assisting the Son of Heaven. If you cooperate with Yuan Shang to bully the Son of Heaven this time, if nothing else, can you pass this hurdle in your own heart?

When Liu Bei heard this, he lowered his head and sighed bitterly.

To tell the truth, Liu Bei's biggest capital in the world for so many years is not his own ability, not his own troops, not Jing Chu's territory, not the wisdom of Wolong and Phoenix, and not the courage of Guan Zhang.

Relying on his imperial uncle's imperial status! This is a big flag! In terms of fame alone, it is even higher than after the third prince of Yuan Shang IV.

But now, once the Son of Heaven is self-reliant, then what is he, the emperor's uncle?

If the people of the world have the heart to serve the country, who should they go to? Is it to defect to Liu Xie, the son of heaven who is the co-lord of the world, or to take refuge in him, the imperial uncle?

To tell the truth, I am the Liu family, and the Son of Heaven is also the Liu family, and I really don't want to break my face with the Son of Heaven until the last resort!

It's just that the Son of Heaven made such a fuss, and his advantage in the world suddenly disappeared! After being displaced for so many years, I finally occupied the land of the Han River, and gathered such a group of ministers and generals, it was the time to throw off my arms and do something big, but I ......

If he didn't respond to Yuan Shang's call this time, he, the emperor of the Han family, would be worthless from now on.

With a long sigh, Liu Bei shook his head, sighed lightly, and said: "After all, the Son of Heaven is still young, and there are many things that I can't do......

Zhuge Liang and Pang Tong glanced at each other, and they already understood what Liu Bei said.

Sure enough, the lord still has to respond to Yuan Shang's call!

"It's just ......" Liu Bei's words turned around, revealing bitterness and said: "It's just that as soon as I go this time, I will conspire with the thief to deal with His Majesty together, and it will be rumored that I will go out of the country and prepare for the ...... of this life."

Pang Tong thought for a while and said: "There is a method in a certain family that can relieve the worries of the lord, and the lord went to meet Yuan Shangji to meet the Son of Heaven this time, which is really ...... Ahem, that's a bit rebellious...... But nominally, it can be named after the righteousness of King Qin of "protecting the king and protecting the three auxiliaries", and this name will be spread all over the three armies, and spread to the world, and the name of the lord has been cleared! ”

Liu Bei nodded when he heard this, and turned his head to Zhuge Liang hesitantly.

Zhuge Liang nodded helplessly, signaling that Liu Bei's current situation could only be like this.

Liu Bei sighed depressedly and said bitterly: "When Emperor Xiaojing, the rebellion of the Seven Kings was called "Qingjun Side, Punish Chao Wrong" as the name of the world, and I didn't expect that today, Bei actually marched into Luoyang in the name of "protecting the king and protecting the three auxiliaries...... I think that my Liu Bei has been in the name of supporting the Han all my life, and in the end I have become the generation of Liu Bi, the king of Wu, which is really sad and lamentable......"

“…………”

********************************

The Son of Heaven occupied the land of Luoyang, and the three families of Yuan, Cao, and Liu each returned to their troops and agreed to meet at the Sanguan crossing in Wanluo.

Yuan Shang sent the soldiers and horses stationed in Liyang back to Yecheng, and let Tian Feng, Fu Zhu, Guo Tu, Xiao Ji and other important ministers go back to preside over internal affairs, he sent an urgent order table Zhang Yan to suppress the rebellion of Chang Feng and Shang Yao in Taiyuan within a limited time, and he led his cronies Sima Yi, with Ma Chao and Pang De, two generals and cronies, and ordered 30,000 elite soldiers to go to Wanluo Sanguan Road Crossing to meet Cao Zhi and Liu Bei.

The soldiers and horses entered the state, and just after Gu Zhengkou, they met Yuan Mai and Deng Ai leading the soldiers and horses with a disgraced face, and returned dejectedly.

The two met and met the army. merged into it, and the two boys entered the handsome tent to meet Yuan Shang and talk about the past in detail.

But in the battle between Yuan Cao and the Son of Heaven in the east of Luoyang, Yuan Cao originally had the upper hand, but he didn't want to suddenly kill a fierce general, and his divine power was incomparable, and he defeated Wen Tu, Dian Man and others in a row, shocking the soldiers of the two sides.

Cao Chong, Yuan Mai and others saw that man bravely. I was worried in my heart, afraid that if that guy was powerful, he would take the head of the general among the ten thousand armies and slaughter himself, so he didn't dare to fight, so he had to withdraw his troops and return home in defeat.

Yuan Mai and Deng Ai went into the handsome tent to meet Yuan Shang, and narrated everything to him from beginning to end. only made Yuan Shang laugh when he heard it.

After the two boys finished speaking, Yuan Shang blinked and asked curiously: "So, you guys." The Son of Heaven didn't receive it, but he smashed the jade seal to pieces, and he also met a fierce general who could shoot a hundred birds and a phoenix spear? ”

Deng Ai nodded and said, "Yes, exactly!" ”

Beside Yuan Shang, Sima Yi said strangely: "It is reported that the gun prodigy Yuan is very old. After living in seclusion for many years, he has three disciples under his knees, and the eldest disciples Zhang Xiu and Zhao Yun are all under my Hebei tent. The second disciple Zhang Ren heard Zhang Xiu say that he was a general from Liu Zhang in Shuzhong, why did such a thing suddenly appear again? ”

Yuan Shang shook his head and said: "Although I don't know where this guy jumped out of the stone, but it's not a big deal, since I joined the army, I don't know how many fierce generals I have been hostile to, and I have either been surrendered or overturned, and it doesn't matter if he has one or two more out of thin air...... I'm more concerned about the jade seal. ”

Sima Yi couldn't help but be stunned when he heard this: "Yuxi, the lord is also interested in that kind of thing?" ”

Yuan Shang's face showed a hint of yearning, and said: "Of course, the Heshi Bi that has been passed down through the ages, let these boys be ruined alive, if you take them back and sell them, how much is it worth?" ”

Sima Yi's face suddenly flashed with a hint of surprise, he was stunned for a long time, and hurriedly bowed to salute, his words full of admiration.

"The people of the world, who want to be the king of the jade seal, do not know how many careerists do not know, only when the lord talks about this thing, but for the sake of selling it...... How high does this have to be a national thief to say such shameless words? The subordinates really admire the lord a hundred! ”

Yuan Shang said helplessly: "It's a pity, it's broken......"

Yuan Mai glanced around, then took out a cloth bag from his arms, handed it to Yuan Shang, and said in a low voice: "Third brother, what do you think this is?" ”

Yuan Shang looked down and said strangely: "What is it?" ”

Yuan Mai smiled and said: "It's the fragment of the jade seal, Cao Chong's kid saw that this thing was broken, and took these fragments back, for fear that Cao Zhi would scold him, and for fear of adding to the laughing stock, he didn't fight with the little brother, and the little brother didn't have any scum left, so I picked it up!" ”

Yuan Shang was first startled when he heard this, and then his face suddenly showed deep joy.

"Good boy, you will really live! Not a loser at all...... True brother too! This piece is well held! If you don't have meat to eat, let's drink soup! ”

After that, Yuan Shang turned his head to Sima Yi and said: "Hurry Ming'er back to Yecheng, send people around to ask, see if those rich rich and powerful people like to buy Baoyu fragments, buy them cheaply and sell them high, sell them all, and find a way to knock him out!" ”

Sima Yi shuddered all over, and said in a low voice: "Lord, this is a jade seal!" National treasure, do you really dare to sell it? ”

Yuan Shang raised his eyebrows: "The left and right sides are broken, can you still see that this is a jade seal?" Keep it and can't eat it as a meal, don't sell it and keep it to occupy space! ”

Sima Yi rolled his eyes and said in a low voice: "This time I went to Luoyang, my unsuccessful sworn brother Pu Yuan is also with the army, the lord might as well hand over these broken jades to him, let him be so ......."

After that, he put his mouth attached to Yuan Shang's ear and whispered.

Yuan Shang listened for a long time, then nodded angrily, and said secretly: "This plan is very wonderful...... You owe more than selling jade seals, if I give up a dragon robe and don't want it, I have to fight with you to the end. ”

****************************

A few days later, Yuan Shang's soldiers and horses arrived at the Wanluo Sanguan crossing, at this time Cao Zhi's soldiers and horses and Liu Bei's soldiers and horses have arrived, the three parties invariably take the Sanguan crossing as the center, each retreat five miles, according to the west, south, north three directions to set up camp, set up a fence to resist the horse, in the middle of the vacant field, for the tripartite meeting.

Yuan Shang's soldiers and horses came majestically. There was no preparation for cover-up, and Cao Zhi and Liu Bei were still very scruples about this operation.

Liu Bei played the banner of "protecting the king and protecting the three auxiliaries" in front of the army, and Cao Zhi simply put out the honor guard that entered Beijing to congratulate, and even prepared a lot of offering gifts to plug the mouths of the people of the world.

Yuan Shangzhi couldn't help but sneer, he was very helpless about their behavior of covering his ears and stealing the bell.

After arriving, Yuan Shang barely took a breath and immediately sent an envoy to invite Liu Bei and Cao Zhi to meet in the plain in the middle of the tripartite. Discuss the plan to go to Luoyang together.

The meeting place was on the field in the middle of the camp of the three parties, and there was not even a tent set up during the period, and the three princes who led the world met and talked in this place.

Since the Eighteenth Road princes fought against Dong, Yuan, Cao, and Liu's three masterminds have been present together, and it is really the first time that they have been so prosperous.

On the field, the three soldiers and horses came together, each occupying their positions, and then saw the three giants each leading their guards to meet in the open space in the field.

"Prime Minister Cao, Uncle Liu Huang. It's been a long time, it's been a long time! Yuan Shang smiled and bowed to the two.

Liu Bei glanced at Yuan Shang, and then looked at Cao Zhi again.

Yuan Shang is an old acquaintance of his, but Cao Zhi and him are really meeting for the first time.

I looked at it for a moment. Liu Bei couldn't help but sigh with emotion.

"The two virtuous nephews are handsome, Yuan Weiwei's momentum has not diminished in the past, and Cao Cheng's bearing is graceful, and even more so his father! Prepare to see two virtuous nephews and young heroes. After Gu Ying's self-analysis, I felt that the years were urging people, and I was really old. ”

Cao Zhi smiled slightly. Said: "Xuande Gong is too modest, Gong is a hero in the world, who in the world does not admire, who does not admire?" Back then, my father said that the only heroes in the world were Cao Mengde and Liu Bei! My father fell into the hands of Xuande Gong, and now is the time for Zhi Li to work hard and fight with Xuande Gong. ”

Liu Bei secretly sighed when he heard this, Cao Zhi's words implied a sharp edge, full of restraint!

It's no wonder that Cao Cao was defeated by Yuan Shang, but he was killed at his own hands, Cao Zhi didn't want to kill himself all the time to take revenge, how could he be forced by current events, he couldn't do it easily......

However, in the face of the enemy who killed his father, this kid can still be so calm and composed, and Cao Cao's son is not bad!

Yuan Shang cleared his throat, interrupted the needle tip of the two, and said, "Xuande Gong, Prime Minister Cao, Yuan invited the two of you to come this time, presumably both of you understand what my purpose is, right?" ”

Liu Bei stroked his beard and said nothing, while Cao Zhi nodded slowly.

Yuan Shang said with emotion: "The Son of Heaven left Xuchang, returned to Luoyang and drove the new capital, this matter is very important, the three of us are important ministers of the imperial court, and we are important weapons of foreign domains, at this very moment, how can we not come?" ”

Liu Bei and Cao Zhi nodded together and echoed: "Not bad, not bad." ”

Yuan Shang smiled and continued: "So, at this very moment, I hope that the three of us can abandon our previous suspicions, put aside our personal grievances for the time being, and work together, work together, be happy, and be in the same boat through thick and thin!" ”

Liu Bei and Cao Zhi nodded and sighed: "Yuan Gong is right!" ”

Yuan Shang continued: "So let's have a positive attitude, a strong will and abundant energy, unite and love, work together, and work together to go to Luoyang, in the fullest state...... Go to the palace! ”

As soon as he finished saying this, he saw that all the generals who were following behind the three giants had changed their faces drastically.

Liu Bei and Cao Zhi were crooked, and they almost fell off their horses together.

The atmosphere in the field became very awkward for a while, everyone look at me, I look at you, blushing and thick-necked, and quietly turning their faces away.

Liu Bei straightened up, took a deep breath, and seriously corrected the mistakes in Yuan Shang's words.

"Yuan Weiwei, how can you use the word 'forced palace'? Who did it? That's a rebellious thing! We are all loyal ministers! He is a loyal minister of the Han Dynasty and a loyal minister of the Son of Heaven! The loyal can't be more loyal! The three of us are gathered here today for King Qin! It's an escort! It's Asaga! This kind of action is just, it is good, and it is with a clear conscience! How can you use such disrespectful words as forcing the palace? ”

Cao Zhi also nodded busily: "That's it, assisting the Son of Heaven and supporting the Sheji is the duty of my generation!" Let's see each other this time, it is an act of loyalty, and there is no limit to loyalty! I don't think this has anything to do with forcing the palace at all, besides, if anyone dares to force the palace in this world, I, Cao Zhi, will be the first to break his face! Yuan Weiwei, you can't be open-mouthed and misunderstand the purpose of our meeting this time! It's rumored to make people laugh! ”

Yuan Shang sighed helplessly, these two guys, deceiving themselves, even explained the real purpose of coming here in fragments, and the donkey's lips were not in the horse's mouth.

"Two, let's each bring 30,000 people here, it's not a forced palace, what's it?"

Liu Bei and Cao Zhi glanced at each other, and said in unison: "King Qin's escort!" ”

Yuan Shang stretched out a thumb and said, "The two of you are really loyal...... Well, even if it's the escort of King Qin. ”

Hearing this, Liu Bei and Cao Zhi's hearts were a little angry.

Yuan Shang, this bastard, how do you see how he speaks? What is counted?

"I don't know how the two of you plan to escort King Qin this time?" Yuan Shang smiled and looked at the two of them.

Liu Bei was stunned when he heard this, but Cao Zhi lowered his head, obviously not thinking deeply about this matter.

Yuan Shang sighed helplessly, even if he was a bitch and erected an archway, the two of them didn't even figure out how to "escort King Qin", how could they achieve their goal?

It's so embarrassing, it's so tiring to live!

Thinking of this, Yuan Shang smiled and said: "Since the two of you are still a little shy about the escort of King Qin, let's talk about how we should escort this time, and give the two of you a reminder, which can be regarded as a little dial, what do you think?" ”

"............" (To be continued......)
