—187 A.D.——

Luoyang North, Sima's Manor.

"As for how to rescue Your Majesty, Liu Junshou must have planned something, but the details can't be finalized yet, so he came to consult Old Man Yu?"

As Lu Zhi had said, Sima Fang put his loyalty to the emperor and the duties of his courtiers before anything - even ignoring the fact that his son was being tied with a hemp rope by a big black man.

Of course, this has something to do with Liu Bei's timely arrival and display of the edict, and Zhang Fei's only tying Sima Yi's hands instead of tying them up.

Liu Bei successfully "invited" Sima's family, who were trying to escape, back to the manor, and after the two sides sat down in the living room and had a brief conversation, they found out that this was basically a misunderstanding.

The problem lies in Liu Bei's self-reported "partial general of Zhengxi", although Liu Bei thinks that this is the title of "partial general" under the "general of Zhengxi", but coincidentally, this title actually exists, and it belongs to Xia Xu, one of the ten permanent servants.

At this time, due to Lu Bu's suppression, courtiers, relatives and even eunuchs from all sides are recruiting neutral officials to join their camp, and the other camps are fine, but the guys in the eunuch camp are basically "salute first and then soldiers" due to the very bad situation-first ask politely, as long as they don't agree, they will directly send troops to arrest people.

Sima Fang, as the Luoyang Order, has a sensitive position, and should have been the last group to be co-opted, and it is normal to go out of the city occasionally to "relax", but this time he originally wanted to escape from Luoyang, and he was a little weak-hearted, and suddenly heard a report from his subordinates that the "Ten Standing Attendants" sent someone to visit, so he had to start the evacuation plan immediately?

Although, when the big rabbit burning with black flames fell from the sky, he knew that he had made an oolong, but he couldn't reason with the big black man and the little girl, so he could only stay where he was and wait for the talker to come.

"That's right," Liu Bei responded, "If possible, I also ask Mr. Sima to continue to give advice after the lower officials rescue His Majesty." ”

Taking out the edict can only justify his act of rescuing the emperor and taking him to Youzhou, and ask him to assist in the process, but he cannot recruit directly, with the emperor's current situation, I am afraid that there is not much possibility that he will suddenly wake up and ask Sima Fang to accompany him - to put it disrespectfully, the emperor may not even know who his Luoyang Order is.

With Sima Fang's personality of "lonely minister", he may follow, or he may insist on his plan to "live in seclusion", even if the third brother has been tying up his youngest son, it is useless.

"Hmm," Sima Fang replied noncommittally, "Then I will ask General Liu to explain the plan." ”

It's not leaking...... Liu Bei sighed for a moment, and then organized a language:

"Xiaguan has brought a part of the 'Baibo Taiping Dao' from Youzhou, and they seem to be able to establish contact with the 'Black Mountain Taiping Dao' that was incorporated by the Liangzhou Army, and the specific plan is——"

————

Northwest of Luoyang, near Hangu Pass, temporary altar.

"——Contact the Taiping Daoists in the Liangzhou army, invite them to ignore the order when they attack Luoyang, and join forces to annihilate the remaining party of the Ten Standing Servants, and if the other party shows the intention of soliciting, recruit them in turn, and make sure that the meeting ends in 'unhappy disappointment'."

Yang Feng read the military order left for him before Liu Bei went to "visit Xian", and looked at his deputy general Guo Tai with a puzzled face:

"Although Liu Junshou's order is very clear, but the meaning is unclear, if it will be 'unhappy and break up' in the end, is it necessary to mention the conditions at the beginning?"

Yang Feng and Guo Tai are both over thirty years old, the former is dressed in a Taoist robe and carries dust around his waist, while the latter wears regular military armor and carries an iron spear behind his back.

"You ask me?" Guo Tai glared: "If I can understand the meaning, may it be just a lieutenant general?" ”

"Heh, it's also ......" Yang Feng shook his head, and with a wave of dust, the water in the big ding on the temporary altar behind him turned into silver threads and flew out, twisting and combining into words in the air in front of the two of them, and the few soldiers around him looked like they were not used to seeing it.

"The north of Hangu and the south of Luoshui, so please take the time to see each other."

The sixteen "water characters" changed their shapes slightly in the air, and emitted a faint yellow light, and then turned into a cloud of water vapor and dispersed.

"Every time I see you playing in the water like this, I find it very interesting." Mrs. Guo looked at the place where the water vapor disappeared and said.

"Nearby Daoists who have mastered the basic 'Taiping Dao Technique' will see it near the surface of the water or something," Yang Feng retracted the Buddha's dust: "Although there should be no outsiders to disturb you, you should be ready for battle." ”

"Hey, anytime." Mrs. Guo played with two spear flowers.

————

On a towering cliff some distance from the temporary altar of Baibo Taiping Road, Zhang He, dressed like a butterfly, and Gao Ran, with a white hood covering his face, were observing the camp from a distance.

"If someone approaches from the direction of Luoyang, intercept them, but do not capture or kill them, and let them flee with an attitude of 'I don't know who they are,' 'I don't know what they are coming for,' and 'just follow orders to drive away the idlers.'"

Gao Ran read a military order in his hand, and his tone was calm and unwavering.

"Hehehehe," he let out a burst of laughter without a smile at all, "We are indeed just listening to orders, and we really don't know anything about the identity and purpose of the person who came. ”

"Huhu~ Although Liu Junshou's strategy is still immature, there is already some wind of 'antelope hanging horns, no trace to be found', so it is not an exaggeration to say 'gorgeous'~" Zhang He is still playing with his paws.

"However, it doesn't look like his style, it's more like a 'chess game' given to him by someone who is fully aware of what is going on, although it is innovative, but ...... Here it comes! Gao Ran quickly retracted his voice and lowered his body—at such a distance, although it was possible to hide for a while, there was no need.

From where Gao Ran was, from Hangu Pass, Luoyang, and some places that seemed to be just ordinary farms, or even nothing, there were all pedestrians or riders or vehicles inexplicably, rushing in the direction where Yang Feng and Guo Tai were, and although they tried to behave naturally, they had the same purpose and the same timing, and they had nothing to hide in front of Gao Ran's eagle-like gaze.

"Then, I'll hand over So-and-so's back to you."

Gao Ran greeted Zhang He, his body straightened, his arms stretched out, and then, with the sharp cry of a startled bald falcon, it plummeted from the top of the mountain into the dense jungle below.

“…… That's it, the 'Taiping Daoists' who are definitely privately recruited by various forces will 'have a huge Taiping Dao force about to arrive in Luoyang, and it is suspected that they are in contact with the Liangzhou Army', 'The Liangzhou Army has friction with the force', 'There are additional forces preventing outsiders from finding out the details', etc., if you think about it, more and more 'information' will be transmitted," Liu Bei said: "The many forces controlling Luoyang at this time are suspicious, even Lu Bu will wait and see the changes under the persuasion of his subordinates, and at this time, cooperate with the Sword Saint to make a move, It's the best time to rescue the emperor. ”

"Liu Junshou can come up with such a strategy, why do you need the old man's help?" Sima Fang was still noncommittal and continued to ask.

But that's the "Roselle" religion......

Although Liu Bei thought so, he couldn't clearly export it, so he turned to say: "Because Xia Guan can't guarantee that it won't be seen through, a second strategy must be set up, so that people think that this 'surprise attack to rescue Your Majesty' plan is also a smokescreen, in essence, to capture the prince or deal with a certain force, and then, to ensure that no one will really defend for the 'surprise attack to rescue Your Majesty', and this level of strategy, Xia Guan can't think of ......"

Sima Fang nodded slowly, while his eldest son Sima Lang sweated on his forehead, as if he couldn't keep up with his train of thought, Sima Yi and Zhang Fei stared wide-eyed, the two of them obviously one had already come up with a countermeasure, and the other didn't even listen.

"This matter is easy," Sima Fang finally said, "Since you have arranged to this extent, then the follow-up improvement will not require too many changes, and there is no need to add manpower, just a few additional orders to the several generals involved at this time." ”

"I want to hear about it." Liu Bei listened to it.

"Since you have the edict in your hand, the old man will help, however," Sima Fang changed his words: "There are two things, please also ask Liu Junshou to explain in advance, otherwise, it will be in the name of disobeying the decree on your back, and the old man will not give you even a plan." ”

"Sir, excuse me." Liu Bei, who had some premonitions about what the problem was, replied solemnly.

"At this time, Luoyang is like a swamp quagmire, after you rescue Your Majesty, is there a way to quell the rebellion in Luoyang?" Sima Fang asked.

"Move the capital." Liu Bei replied without thinking, obviously he had thought about this matter several times: "Welcome Your Majesty to Jixian County, Youzhou, and establish a new capital, then the rebellion in Luoyang will be calmed down, although its place is not very prosperous, but it has huge development potential." ”

"Hmm......" Obviously, this answer was also recognized by Sima Fang himself, and he nodded slightly in agreement.

"The second question, even the old man knows that His Majesty is no longer able to serve at this time, and after Liu Junshou is edicted, does he want to be Zhang Liang, Han Xin, or Xiao He?" Sima Fang asked again.

Three heroes in the early Han Dynasty? Liu Bei thought for a moment.

Zhang Liang retired and died well; Han Shin refused to relinquish power and was killed; Xiao He did his best and died.

Is this really a choice and not a threat?

However, there is a fundamental difference between himself and those courtiers.

- They don't have the surname Liu.

Liu Bei recalled that Zuo Ci, Luo Shen, and even the "Bodhisattva" looked at him differently, and a confident smile appeared on his face, and at the same time, he also replaced the "Xia Guan" self-proclaimed one that Fang had just used:

"My current strength is limited, at most I can save Your Majesty from the wolves, and the two princes are likely to be plundered by them, or even become puppets of the puppet of the puppet emperor,"

"In order to restore the orthodoxy of the Han family, if things are not harmonious, I am willing to be [Guangwu], I don't know what Mr. Sima has to say?"

Sima Fang has not yet answered, and a large amount of "warmth" from the wood carving on Liu Bei's chest has proved his attitude.
