This is the 15th day of April in the sixth year of Zhongping, just three days ago a major event happened in the world, the twelfth emperor of the Eastern Han Dynasty Liu Hong died in the Jiade Hall of Luoyang Nangong, nicknamed Emperor Xiaoling, the successor is only 13 years old prince Liu Bian, after 184 years of the Han Dynasty is gradually coming to an end.

The Central Plains is already grass grows and warblers fly, birds sing and flowers are fragrant, Liaodong is still bitter cold weather, the north wind blows, the passers-by of Xiangping County, Liaodong County can not help but wrap the coarse cloth cotton clothes on the body, and then come inside, the inner hall of Xiangping County is indeed warm and smooth, and the stove is lined up.

There is a person sitting on the throne in the hall, only to see that this person is angular, with angry eyebrows, and his demeanor is imposing, this person is the Liaodong County Shougongsun Du, and there are two people sitting on the left and right of the hall, one is named Liu Yi, and the other is named Yangyi, all of whom are strong men with tigers and bears, and these two people are Gongsun Du's subordinates and cronies.

Gongsun Du spoke first: "Now that the Han family is in decline, the court is worried about internal and external troubles, and the ten permanent servants are fighting for power and profit with the He family, and they no longer have the heart to take care of the major affairs of the frontier. ”

Liu Yi and Yang Yi were shocked when they heard this, and vaguely felt that what Gongsun Du was going to talk about next must be a trivial matter, but they didn't dare to figure out what it meant.

Gongsun Du continued: "Both of them are my trusted confidants, and I asked them to come over today to discuss the matter of becoming king in Liaodong. ”

As soon as these words came out, although the two of them had expected it, they were still shocked.

Gongsun Du squinted his eyes and said, "I don't know what the two of you think?" ”

The two looked at Gongsun Du, who was sitting on the throne, and saw that he was not angry and arrogant, and his momentum was compelling, where was there any other choice, and they all said: "Only the adults are the first to look forward!" ”

"Good! That is to say, what I am most worried about now is Tong Ruo, this person has a very high prestige in the county, and his soldiers are strong, if he does not do great things, it will be difficult for him to succeed! ”

Liu Yi said: "He has the support of the wealthy clan in Liaodong, which is really difficult to deal with!" ”

"Humph! Liaodong wealthy family! Gongsun Du said sharply: "The wealthy clan of Liaodong has always been disobedient, but Gu and Tong Ruo rely on each other, otherwise I will kill them all!" ”

Yang Yi said: "I have a way to solve the difficulties of adults?" ”

"Tell me about it"

"In recent days, Wuhuan is about to move, we can use the reason of sending troops to recruit Wu Huan, requisition soldiers and horses from Tong Ruo, and when he loses his military power, the adults can first punish the wealthy clan of Liaodong, and then kill Tong Ruo, so Liaodong is at your fingertips!"

"That's a great plan!"

Yang Yi said again: "The stakes are very high, I am willing to go to the army in person to share the worries of the adults!" ”

On April 17, 189 A.D., Tong Ruo was correcting official documents in the yamen, but he was always uneasy, just because he had sent three letters to Li Zijie, but he never received a response, and the messenger who went to deliver the letter only said that he had personally delivered the letter to Li Zijie.

Tong Ruo, who was directly affected by the pain of lovesickness, couldn't help but think: "Could it be that the senior uncle doesn't want me to associate with her, or is it that the junior sister has no friendship with me in the first place, and I have always been self-inflicted?" ”

At this moment, the servants of the yamen came to report: "My lord, Yangyi, the county governor of Liaodong County, asks to see your lordship." ”

Tong Ruo was puzzled in his heart, but he knew that this person must be a bad person, and before he could speak, he only heard a high voice already sounding outside the door, "Don't bother!" I came in on my own! Then a big man walked in.

Tong Ruo hurriedly got up to greet him: "I haven't greeted you from afar, it's rude, please sit down." He raised his right hand and led the Yang Yi into his seat.

Yang Yi said: "You're welcome, I'll leave after I finish speaking!" ”

"I wonder why you're here?"

"Today, Wuhuan is ready to move on the border, Lord Gongsun wants to send troops to fight, I heard that you have a lot of soldiers, and I came here today to requisition the soldiers of your county."

Tong Ruo saw the clue as soon as he heard it, Gongsun Du was a wolf, and sent this person over to cut my military power, without an army, then I am not like a lamb to the slaughter.

So he said politely: "The general doesn't know, I exterminated the big black mountain thieves, occupy Qingyun Village, Qingyun Village can be described as a strategic fortress, I really can't bear to throw it away, so I put most of the troops in Qingyun Village, the general can go back to report first, I will recruit the army within a few days, and personally lead the troops to help when the time comes." ”

Yang Yi's face was embarrassed when she heard this, and said, "I returned empty-handed, how can I make a difference, I'll wait for you here for a few days." ”

Tong Ruozi was a hundred unwilling, but when it came to this, it was really difficult to refuse, so he had to arrange for Yang Yi to rest in the side room.

After Yang Yi left, Tong Ruo thought in his heart: "Because I changed history, because the extermination of the Great Black Mountain Thieves caused Gongsun Du to become the county guard of Liaodong 8 months ahead of schedule, and now my reputation in Liaodong is much higher than that of Gongsun Du, and Gongsun Du wants to be the king of Liaodong."

One mountain can't tolerate two tigers, he must be trying to harm me by all means, if I want to save my life, the only way to do this is to raise troops against him! If this is the case, Yuan Geng is a thief, he is naturally willing to help me, but I don't know if Xie Wenyan is willing to help me. ”

Thinking of this, he summoned the servant and said, "Hurry up and invite Xie Wenyan to come, I have something to discuss with him." ”

Xie Wenyan came to the inner hall, approached it, and saw that there was a bowl of lotus seed porridge boiling on the table, Tong Ruo didn't drink a sip, shook his head and sighed: "Miss Huo came to bring you porridge again?" ”

In the past few days, Tong Ruo has not thought about Li Zijie's tea and dinner, although Huo Qianning has noticed one or two, but he has always held back, and just cooks porridge for Tong Ruo every day.

Tong Ruoxin's heart is not made of stone, and he is also very moved, but he is in the depths of his love, where can he tolerate others in his heart.

Xie Wenyan said again: "Huo Qianning is also a well-known figure in the rivers and lakes, it is really rare to be able to do this for adults, it's a pity!" Luo Shen intends that King Xiang is ruthless, but it's a pity that such a peerless beauty. ”

Tong Ruo heard Xie Wenyan's words, and hurriedly interrupted: "I have something important to tell you." ”

"Huh?"

Tong Ruo then told Xie Wenyan about Gongsun Du's conscription.

Xie Wenyan thought for a long time, and said: "This Gongsun Du is quite skillful, if the Lord does not take a timely response to the enemy, and when Gongsun Du is full-fledged, there will inevitably be a disaster. ”

"I know that's the case, but I just don't know how to break the game?"

Xie Wenyan paced a few laps in the hall and said to Tong Ruo: "Adults should be the first to cut the envoy, and then raise the anti-flag!" ”

Tong Ruo was overjoyed when he heard this, but in order to be safe, he would have deceived him first to see if he really thought so, so he waved his hand and said, "No!" No way! This kind of thing is really rebellious! ”

Xie Wenyan said again: "The lord is now famous in Liaodong County, Fanshi, Fen County, Anshi, Xinchang Half County have all attached to the adult, if you raise your arms at this time, they will hold high the banner to help, and there are more wealthy families in the county to help, if the adult is undecided at this time, you and I will be the soul of Gongsun Du's sword!" ”

Tong Ruo saw that Xie Wenyan had said this, slapped the table with his right hand, and suddenly got up and said, "Junyu has really never disappointed me!" ”

At this moment, suddenly another messenger came from the county, and Tong Ruo invited him to inquire.

The messenger said: "Lord Gongsun has an order, ordering all counties in the county to issue a notice, if anyone sees Liu Zheng and report it in time, if he does not report it, he will be guilty of the same crime!" ”

When Tong Ruo heard this, he clapped his hands and secretly rejoiced in his heart: "God help me!" This last piece is also in place! ”
