A low table was placed by the lotus pond in the backyard of the government, and Tai Shici's mother knelt behind the low table, and on the low table in front of her, there were some preserved fruits and a cup of tea. The gentle wind swept across the lotus pond, blowing the lotus leaves and lotus flowers on the pond surface, and with the swing of the lotus leaves and lotus flowers, there were shallow ripples on the water surface.

Two maidservants stood behind Tai Shi Ci's mother, one of the maids held a clay pot in her hand, whenever Tai Shi Ci's mother held the tea cup and drank a sip of tea, the maid would add some tea after she put the tea cup down, so that the tea in the tea cup was not less than half a cent.

Liu Wei knelt on a straw mat at the low table, raised his hand to point to the lotus flower in the pond, and said to Tai Shici's mother: "This king has heard that lotus seeds can clear the fire and nourish the fire, so he has ordered someone to pick some lotus pods, and tonight I will let the princess make some lotus seed soup for the old lady to eat." ”

"Your Highness bothered!" Kneeling behind the low table, Tai Shici's mother said to Liu Wei with endless gratitude in her tone: "The old woman has been coming to Anyi for a few days, and His Royal Highness treats the old woman like a close relative, and the old woman is very uneasy in her heart......

"The old lady's mansion has been chosen, and now it is being renovated! Some furniture is also being built. Liu Wei did not answer Tai Shici's mother's words, but smiled and said to her: "I think it will take a few days for the old lady to return to the house to live." Seeing that the old lady loved this lotus pond, the king also ordered someone to dig a side in the backyard of the house......"

"My son was born on the bank of the lotus pond, and he raised the fetus that day, there was no grain and rice, and the old woman fed on the lotus root all day long, so as to save my son's life!" Looking at the lotus pond, Tai Shici's mother remembered the embarrassment when she was born Tai Shici, and a pool of old tears surged in her eyes, and she said to Liu Wei: "This lotus pond is kind to my son!" ”

"Your Highness!" Liu Wei was about to answer, when a personal soldier quickly ran in from the front yard, first glanced at Tai Shici's mother, and then approached Liu Wei, and said in a low voice: "General Zhao and the others have returned, and they are waiting for His Highness to summon them in the outer courtyard at this moment. ”

"How many people are there?" Hearing that Zhao Yun and the others had returned to Anyi, Liu Wei hurriedly looked up at the soldiers who reported the news and asked him.

"Three!" The soldiers clenched their fists and bowed, and whispered to Liu Wei: "In addition to the two generals Zhao and Dian, there is still a thick man who his subordinates don't recognize!" General Zhao did not say the identity of the big man, did he want to stop him outside the hospital? ”

"Nope! That's General Taishi! Hurry up, please! Knowing that there was a thick man with Zhao Yundianwei, Liu Wei hurriedly gave an order to the soldiers who reported the news.

The soldier responded, first clenched his fists and took two steps back, then turned around and ran quickly towards the front yard. When the soldiers left, Liu Wei said to Tai Shici's mother, who was sitting on the side: "Old lady, Ling Lang arrived in Anyi today. ”

"My son is coming to Anyi?" When Liu Wei told her that Tai Shi Ci had arrived in Anyi, she immediately opened her eyes, with a deep joy on her face, and said to Liu Bian: "The old woman can get together with my son, all thanks to His Royal Highness!" ”

"The old lady doesn't have to be like this!" With a smile on his face, Liu Wei nodded slightly towards Tai Shici's mother, and looked in the direction of the front yard with her.

Soon after the soldiers left, three men in dark clothes walked in briskly from the front yard.

Seeing the three people from a distance, Liu Wei recognized that it was Zhao Yun and Dian Wei who walked in the middle and on the left. Walking on the right is a stout man who Liu Wei has never seen, but his figure is almost the same as Dian Wei.

Although the man is burly, his appearance is not as vicious as Dian Wei. He has a big face with Chinese characters, a pair of bright eyes, slightly thick lips and a square face, which gives people a sense of honesty and simplicity.

When walking, every step the man takes, he can roll up a gust of wind, and his momentum is not inferior to Zhao Yun and Dian Wei.

"Mother!" There were still more than ten steps away from Liu Wei and the old lady, and when the man saw the old lady beside Liu Wei, he suddenly stopped, looked at her with round eyes, shouted, and ran towards her quickly.

"I'm unreasonable!" The man had barely taken a few steps before the old lady stood up and frowned, but she could not hide the excitement in her heart, and said to him in a slightly trembling voice: "Your Highness is here, why is it so indifferent? ”

After being reprimanded by the old lady, the man hurriedly stopped, looked at Liu Bian, who had already stood up and was looking at him with Zhao Yun and Dian Wei with a smile on his face, and was stunned for a moment, before he knelt on the ground with a "poof" and said to Liu Bian: "Your Highness takes care of your mother, this kindness and virtue, even if Tai Shi Ci is a cow and a horse, he will definitely be rewarded!" ”

Tai Shi Ci knelt on the ground, Liu Wei hurriedly stepped forward, held his arm with both hands, picked him up, and said to him with a slight smile: "General Tai Shi doesn't need to be like this. The general, Zilong, and Dian Wei went to Yuyang to rescue the king, and the king has already learned about it......"

"Your Highness!" Zhao Yun and Dian Wei, who entered the backyard with Tai Shici, bowed to Liu Wei, and Zhao Yun said to him with a little guilt on his face: "I waited until I entered Yuyang, and after exploring, I learned that His Royal Highness and Miss Guan had left, and I was not angry in my heart, and there would be a trouble." If it weren't for the fact that there were too many defenders in Yuyang, we would have killed that Gongsun Zhan......"

"Nonsense!" Without waiting for Zhao Yun to finish speaking, Liu Wei lowered his face coldly, and said with a little distress in his tone: "This king has already left Yuyang, you just have to leave silently and return to Anyi, why do you want to take the risk of making a scene?" You are all the king's siblings, if you hurt your life, won't this king feel guilty for the rest of your life? ”

After being reprimanded by Liu, Zhao Yun and Dian Wei hugged their fists and bowed, and responded in unison: "The last general will know his mistake!" ”

"Son!" As soon as Liu Wei trained Zhao Yun and Dian Wei, the old lady on the side took Tai Shici's hand and said to him: "When my mother came to Anyi, His Royal Highness personally served all day long, and the princess also cooked meals for my mother, and I would take care of my mother like a close relative." My son will follow His Highness in the future and go on the battlefield, but I can't lose face to the ancestors of my Taishi family! ”

"Mother's teachings, children's minds!" Retracting the hands held by the old lady, Tai Shi Ci first responded with a fist, then turned around, with tears in his eyes, and said to Liu Wei in a choked voice: "On that day, Tai Shi Ci cut the state government documents and fled to Liaodong for fear of responsibility. My mother has always been taken care of by no one, and His Royal Highness treats my mother and son like a mountain, and Tai Shi Ci is broken to pieces, and he will definitely live up to His Highness! ”

As he spoke, Tai Shici bent his right leg, half-knelt on the ground, and bowed deeply to Liu Wei.

"General Taishi, please get up!" Liu Wei helped Tai Shi Ci up again, and then said to the maid who was waiting for the old lady on the side: "And help the old lady back to the room, tonight the old lady and General Tai Shi mother and son reunite, this king will set up a banquet to congratulate the general's mother and son!" ”

As soon as he saw Liu Bian, Liu Biao kept calling Tai Shici a general. Tai Shi Ci didn't care at first, until Liu Wei said that he was going to hold a banquet, he said to Liu Bi: "Your Royal Highness, Tai Shi Ci has been guilty for many years, but he is white, not a general!" ”

"Since you went to Yuyang with Zilong and Dian Wei, you have been a general!" Liu Wei first smiled slightly, replied to Tai Shici, and then beckoned to Zhao Yun and the others, and said to them: "You wait to come with this king, this king has something important to discuss!" ”

Liu Wei said that there was something important to discuss, Tai Shici was stunned for a moment, and he didn't know whether to follow or not.

"General Taishi is coming!" Liu Wei, who had already turned around to walk towards the front yard, found that Tai Shici looked a little hesitant, turned his head and said to him: "The general doesn't need to be suspicious, from today on, you will be the same as Zilong and Dian Wei, you are the brother of this king, just follow along!" ”

Hearing Liu Wei say this, Tai Shi Ci's heart was slightly relieved, and he hurriedly said goodbye to his mother and walked towards the front yard with Liu Bian.

Before he reached the front yard, Liu Wei instructed a personal soldier who followed him: "Go and invite the military advisor and Mr. Deng to come!" ”

"No!" The soldiers answered, and ran towards the front yard first.

led everyone into the main hall of the front yard, as soon as Liu Wei sat down with Zhao Yun and others, Xu Shu hurriedly walked into the hall, hugged his fists and bowed to Liu Wei and asked, "I heard that His Highness summoned his subordinates." ”

"Yes!" Liu Wei nodded and asked Xu Shu, "Have you seen Mr. Deng?" ”

Xu Shu shook his head, and was about to answer, when Deng Zhan, who was wearing a deep coat, appeared at the door, arched towards Liu Wei with his hands in fists, and asked loudly: "I heard that His Highness called a certain person, I don't know what happened?" ”

"Strategist, Mr. Deng, sit down!" Liu Wei made a gesture of invitation to Xu Shu and Deng Zhan, and waited until the two of them sat down before saying to everyone in the house: "A few days ago, Yuan Shao sent Tian Feng to Anyi, wanting this king to gather all the heroes and soldiers to march into Chang'an. The king had already sent someone to Yanzhou and asked Cao Cao to send troops on a certain day. Recently, the Japanese king thought about it again and again, Dong Zhuo was rampant, and he had already been abandoned by the ministers of the DPRK and China, and the soldiers could attack outside, but inside Chang'an, someone had to infiltrate and disintegrate Dong Zhuo from the inside, which was the best policy. The reason why it was not proposed was that Zilong and others had not yet returned, and the king did not have enough manpower available for the time being, but now that Zilong and others had returned, this matter could be done. ”

"Who does Your Highness want to send to Chang'an?" As soon as Liu Wei's words fell, and everyone was still a little confused on their faces, Xu Shu furrowed his brows and asked him a question.

From Xu Shu's expression, Liu Wei had already seen that he had penetrated the heavenly opportunity, smiled slightly, and said to everyone: "In Chang'an City, most of them are old ministers of this dynasty, and they have no friendship with them, even if they go, they will not be of much effect. The king thought about it again and again, and this time it was appropriate for the king to go in person. ”

"No!" As soon as Liu finished speaking, Xu Shu vetoed: "His Royal Highness is the lord of Hedong, Cao Cao, Yuan Shao and others are also the only ones who want His Highness, if His Royal Highness goes to Chang'an in person, who will preside over the affairs of the coalition army?" ”

"The military advisor already has a good fortune in his heart, why do you need to ask this king again." Looking at Xu Shu, who was kneeling beside him, Liu Wei smiled slightly, and said to everyone in the hall: "The alliance with Yuan Shao and Cao Cao is just a cover, just to attract Dong Zhuo's attention, so that this king can sneak in." This time the king entered Chang'an, and he had to be helped by Mr. Deng! ”

"Kill the traitor, everyone will work together!" Liu Wei said that Deng Zhan needed to help him enter Chang'an, Deng Zhan hurriedly stood up, clasped his fists and said: "Your Highness, but there is a drive, Deng Zhan will not comply!" ”

"We are willing to follow His Highness into Chang'an!" Before Deng Zhan's words fell, Zhao Yun, Dian Wei and Tai Shici all stood up, clasped their fists and said in unison.

"No!" Liu Wei waved his hand at Zhao Yun and the others, glanced at them, and said to them: "You wait to follow the military division, and under the command of the military division, lead the army to take the opportunity to occupy Luoyang, and this king also refers to the hope that after killing Dong Zhuo, he can return to Luoyang!" ”
