Chapter Twenty-Six: The Stars Set, End of Chapter 2
【Hum~】
This time, the movement of the system was too sudden, and Ji Zhao did not expect it.
[Three Kingdoms Expansion Pack: The second chapter of the traitor has ended, and the protagonists of the era: Luo Kong, Dong Zhuo, Yuan Shao, now start settling for you. 】
[Since the magnificent Taiping Uprising, the princes of King Qin have rushed to the counties of Tianxia, but Dong Zhuo came from Xiliang, with the iron horse of destruction, in the Central Plains, in the holy city of Luoyang, you built, began to trample on all the rules and morals in this world.
In this era, this is an unprecedented disaster, and how easy it is to destroy morality is as difficult as it is to establish morality.
Fortunately, the voices of aspiring scholars sounded in Luoyang, and the sonorous words resounded on the side of Luoshui, and the oath from ancient times coincided with the oath of the princes at this moment, and life and sacrifice recast the foundation of morality. 】
[Luokong rewards have been distributed, and will not be issued repeatedly, the second chapter is being completed, and the third chapter is brewing, so stay tuned. 】
[System friendly reminder, the world is about to evolve again, please be ready for a more perfect real world! ] 】
A series of system prompts, the era protagonist who didn't fill in before filled in his name after everything is over.
Luo Kong, Dong Zhuo, and Yuan Shao, the three well-deserved protagonists in this period.
Ji Zhao looked at all this, this story is very exciting, and it is a little different from the Eighteenth Road to ask for Dong.
But compared to the one who failed because of his dark and dirty and intrigues, this now makes Ji Zhao feel that Luo's existence has its value.
This time the trampling on the orthodoxy of the Han family was so serious that even the last bit of sacredness attached to the emperor disappeared, and the emperor this time it can be said that he was only left with the role of political leader.
Ji Zhao was a little curious about what the third chapter would look like, and he guessed that it should be the princes competing for the deer, but who could win?
Ji Zhao didn't know, because the current situation in the world was completely different from his previous life.
If a person like Liu Bei had a family background in the early stage, the degree of change in the situation would be unimaginable.
……
Yuan Shao led the Jizhou soldiers to rush back to Yecheng non-stop to preside over the overall situation.
In Yuan Shao's view, Gongsun Zhan's attack on Jizhou was even more dangerous than fighting Dong Zhuo in Luoyang.
If he is not careful, his foundation in Jizhou may really be destroyed.
When he was King Qin before, Yuan Shao's strength was not as good as Gongsun Zhan, but Yuan Shao's family background was good and his prestige was high, so he could be the leader of the alliance.
Now Yuan Shao is in charge of Jizhou, but Gongsun Zhan also has more support from the Youzhou scholars and the military nobles of the border counties.
In terms of military strength alone, the current Gongsun Chan is stronger than Yuan Shao, and Jizhou is strong in war potential, but the immediate combat effectiveness is inferior to Gongsun Chan.
Yuan Shao was desperately hurrying while discussing with Xun Chen, and he asked anxiously: "Youruo, when I return to Jizhou, I am afraid that Gongsun Zan has already entered Jizhou, and Jibei may be defended?" ”
The political center of Jizhou is in Yecheng, and the north of Hebei is close to Youzhou, which has always been a relatively remote place, and the scholars there are not necessarily the same as the scholars such as Fuzhu.
What Yuan Shao is most worried about is that the scholars of northern Hebei give full play to the traditional art of the scholars - looking at the wind and descending.
The scholars are different from the scholars, the scholars are willing to die for the loyalty in their hearts, but a family will never do it.
Crossing the river, Yuan Shao ran wildly all the way.
As soon as he arrived at the border of Jizhou, Fu Zhu sent someone to send the latest news, "Lord, Gongsun Chan has entered Jizhou, the troops are strong, the counties and counties are looking at the wind, Zhongshan and Hejian have all fallen, Gongsun Chan personally led Bai Mayi to the south, the strength of the Youzhou soldiers is too strong, don't drive the army to the north to resist Gongsun Zhan."
Don't tell the lord before leaving, saying that he will defend Jizhou with his life. ”
Yuan Shao's eyes were dark when he heard this, and everyone was full of anxiety, this is the biggest problem in Jizhou, with a large population, flat and fertile land, but there are no mountains and rivers at all.
Those mountains and rivers are all in the hands of Youzhou and Bingzhou Sizhou, south of Yanshan Mountain, east of Taihang Mountain, the cavalry descends overnight, and can even go straight to Yecheng, the center of Jizhou.
It's a real life-or-death moment!
If he is not careful, the huge prestige that he Yuan Shao has just gained in Luoyang will lose everything before he has time to transform it into substantial benefits.
Yuan Shao closed his eyes and began to brainstorm frantically, thinking about Xun Chen and Frustration's ideas, looked at the carriage carrying Tang Ji, and said loudly: "Youruo." ”
Xun Chen said anxiously: "Lord! ”
Yuan Shao said in a deep voice: "The so-called promise of a thousand gold, the unequaled marquis kills Dong Zhuo, the prince promised the unequaled marquis must do it, I will give you a thousand military horses, and you will send the queen to Zhaocheng." ”
The reason why Yuan Shao chose Xun Chen was very simple, after returning to Hebei, the number of top strategists under him suddenly increased, and the lack of Xun Chen was not a big problem.
Sending the queen to Zhaocheng can be regarded as a diplomatic activity, Xun Chen is elegant and personable, which is suitable for this kind of thing.
Xun Chen responded, and Yuan Shao said again: "Yan Liangwen Chou, the two of you lead the army to Anguo directly with your father, and you must stop Gongsun Zhan's offensive."
Youruo, after coming out of Zhaocheng, crossed the river directly to Yinghou Kingdom, presented a great gift, and asked Yinghou to mediate for his father and Gongsun Zhan, and mediated in Qinghe. ”
After a series of orders were issued, Yuan Shao remembered Liu Bei who went to Qingzhou, and Yuan Shaoke still remembered that Liu Bei was Gongsun Zhan's younger brother.
Between Youzhou, Jizhou, and Qingzhou is Bohai County, which is part of Youzhou, but is usually independent.
After Yuan Shao became the ruler of Jizhou, Bohai Taishou took refuge in Yuan Shao, and if Bohai County was taken by Gongsun Zhan, Gongsun Zhan would be able to join Liu Bei.
Although Yuan Shao didn't know what Liu Bei's strength was now, he could be said to be deeply impressed by the generals under Liu Bei's command.
But now there is no way, and even if you simply deal with Gongsun Zhan, you have to do your best.
As long as he can withstand Gongsun Zhan's offensive head-on, Yuan Shao pondered, and then when Cao Cao returned to Yanzhou, he could form an alliance with Cao Cao against the combination of Gongsun Chan and Liu Bei.
Yuan Shao led the army away, and Xun Chen took the Tang Empress straight to Zhaocheng.
Tang Ji sat in the carriage and looked at the troops that had hurriedly separated, and beside her was a well-made package, which contained the queen's seal!
This is what she got after returning to Luoyang, when Luokong handed her the queen's seal, he told her that it was something as precious as her life, so even if she was going to die, she never left it.
Xun Chen's heart was naturally full of anxiety, and the carriage rumbled on the straight road, and soon entered the Principality of Zhao.
Then dozens of miles away from Zhaocheng, he was intercepted by the daring soldiers who rushed to hear the news.
Xun Chen hurriedly stepped forward and said: "General, we are under the command of Yuan Gong of Jizhou of the Great Han Dynasty, and the Marquis of Wushuang entrusted Duke Yuan to send the Empress of the Han Dynasty to Zhaocheng before his death, and we are here by appointment." ”
Unequaled Marquis?
Sending the Empress of the Han Dynasty?
The leader of the daring warriors knew that this matter must not be faked, but he still asked: "It turned out to be Gongzi's empty entrustment?" Is there a token? ”
Tang Ji stepped down from the carriage, trotted two steps, and then took out a red silk cloth from her bosom, opened the silk cloth, and the jade pendant that Luo Kong gave her was in it.
The commander of the daring warriors looked at his eyes and knew that what these people said was indeed true, and Gongzikong was afraid that something had happened to him.
Luo's son-in-law and daughter-in-law like to wear jade, which is well known to the world, but there is a piece of jade that is special.
For example, the piece that Tang Ji is holding in his hand has a graceful and luxurious phoenix on the back, and a Zhou character is engraved on the heart of the phoenix.
On the front are the sun, moon and stars, mountains and rivers, with names and font numbers engraved on them.
Seeing this piece of jade, the commander of the daring warriors immediately got on his horse and said: "Please also ask all the distinguished guests to follow me to Zhaocheng, and this matter must be reported to the head of the family." ”
Although she looks like a little girl, this is the queen of the Han Dynasty!
Although the Han Dynasty is now declining, and even the Mandate of Heaven is about to be lost, the concept of the three-hundred-year-old dynasty royal family is still quite terrifying.
As Liu Wei said before his death, Tang Ji's identity, it is almost impossible to remarry, and the criticism to be suffered by marrying Tang Ji is unimaginably big, ordinary people dare not marry, those nobles will give her up, but it is impossible to marry, only Luo's does not care about these.
The distance of dozens of miles is not far, even if you want to take care of Tang Ji, it is still quite fast, the army that came to protect Tang Ji stayed outside the city, and the daring soldiers took Tang Ji and Xun Chen into Zhaocheng.
Tang Ji was taken away directly by Luo's girl.
Tang Ji, who has always been very nervous, saw so many Luo girls with holy marks on her eyebrows, she suddenly remembered Luo Kong, and her heart suddenly calmed down.
Luo Zhang was a little emotional, but he didn't expect Luo Kong to send the queen of the Han Dynasty to Zhaocheng.
Xun Chen told Luo Zhang in detail what happened in Luoyang.
Luo Zhang already knew the news of Luo Kongxue's death when he died, and now Xun Chen has added details for him.
Although it was Ji Zhao who gave the artifact to Luo Kong, as the head of the family, Luo Zhang also knew it, so he knew better the reason for the punishment that day.
Xun Chen had been secretly looking at Luo Zhang when he was talking, and when he saw that whether he was talking about heavenly punishment or talking about the miracle, the head of the Luo family was all unwavering, as if he had known it for a long time, and he was secretly shocked.
"Gongsun Chan raided Jizhou, the lord went to meet the enemy, and he couldn't personally escort Empress Tang here, please forgive me."
In the end, Xun Chen secretly gave Gongsun Chan a wave of eye medicine.
From a strategic and tactical point of view, Gongsun Zhan's choice of timing for this wave is no problem at all, but it just disgusts Yuan Shao to death.
Hearing this, Luo Zhang muttered: "Ben Chu Gong is high and bright, Ben Gong is deeply admired, and he is willing to mediate between Ben Chu Gong and Gongsun Zhan and repay him slightly. ”
It's just a mediation, which was often done during the Bang Zhou period.
Xun Chen was overjoyed when he heard this, and he never expected such an unexpected joy.
Before, Yuan Shao was going to go to Yinghou to mediate, but he didn't expect that now Zhaogong is willing to come forward to mediate, even if Gongsun Chan is arrogant, Zhaogong will still give face.
As long as the truce can be held for a period of time, Jizhou, which is ready, plus the lord, Xun Chen recalled Yuan Shao's various performances, even though he was at a disadvantage, he believed that he was absolutely not afraid of that Gongsun Zhan.
Xun Chen left Zhaocheng in a hurry, accompanied by two thousand daring soldiers, and when he walked out of Zhaocheng, Xun Chen suddenly sweated.
Something is wrong!
After spending a short period of excitement, Xun Chen suddenly reacted, the reason why he wanted to find Yinghou before was because Zhao Gong would not interfere in the internal affairs of the Han court, even if it was mediation, a handwritten letter was enough, whether it was successful or not, it would be up to him to give face.
However, now they have directly sent a dare warrior, which is obviously the rhythm of using force to make him agree if Gongsun Chan does not agree to mediate.
What does this change represent?
Xun Chen is a top-level strategist, and he clearly remembers that the last time Luo's soldiers were dispatched to mediate the war was for the Han Dynasty and Liaodong Yanguo!
The growing Wuhuan and Xianbei threatened the nations of Zhuxia, and finally the Han and Liaodong Yan joined forces to defeat the combined forces of Wuhuan and Xianbei.
That was the only time that Dahan and Yan Guo joined forces, and it was also the only time that Luo's mediated in Dahan.
And now, Luo's has dispatched a dare warrior for the mediation of Yuan Shao and Gongsun Zhan, and Xun Chen didn't dare to think about the meaning it represented!
It's scary to think about!
In Zhaocheng, Luo Zhang looked at the departing warriors and Yuan Shaojun, carrying a kettle to water the flowers, and hummed softly in his mouth: "One withered and one prosperous, one died and one life, one flower died, ten thousand flowers bloomed, and the coming year will be a good scenery." ”
……
Qingzhou.
Liu Bei led the army that had been following him, and now he was no longer what it used to be, his military strength had risen greatly, and Guan Zhang and Zhao each led a 4,000-strong army!
This kind of strong military power was completely unimaginable to him three years ago.
In today's Qingzhou, Liu Bei's strength can definitely be regarded as a leader, and the field army of more than 10,000 people can be regarded as strong no matter where it is.
Liu Bei went all the way from Taishan County to Linzi County, and the bandits he encountered on the road were either exterminated or captured, and it has to be said that in terms of fighting bandits, Guan Zhang and Zhao were too fierce.
A general like Guan Zhang Zhao is most afraid that the heavy armor soldiers will be waiting for him, except for people like Xiang Yu Luoxiao, even if Lu Bu encounters a large array of heavy armor soldiers, he will definitely die.
And even if the bandits are more fierce, but the discipline is not good, there are many flaws, for the three fierce generals of Guan Zhang and Zhao, they can win by casually leading the army to charge.
Just as Liu Bei entered the border of Linzi County, Gongsun Zhan sent a letter.
Liu Bei naturally doesn't need to avoid his own team that has come all the way from the end of the day, and what Gongsun Chan said in the letter is very simple, and the general meaning is.
I heard that Xuande, you have developed very well after entering Qingzhou, and now your strength is very good, I had a grudge with Yuan Shao before, and now my strength has recovered some, and I am ready to attack Yuan Shao in Jizhou, if you come to help me, I will make you Qingzhou Mu in the future, you are all my own brothers, and I trust you very much.
After Liu Bei received this letter, the expression on his face was very complicated, he actually wanted to explode foul language, don't you know how high Yuan Shao's reputation is in the world now?
You are attacking Jizhou now, isn't this a real thing?
Liu Bei has always cherished his reputation, but everyone who has seen Liu Bei admires him a lot, thinking that he is a hero and destined to achieve great things.
"How can this brother Bogui ......?"
Liu Bei was afraid of Gongsun Zhan's face, Jian Yong didn't care, and said coldly: "Stupid, lord, don't care about Gongsun Zhan's invitation, we can just do our best." ”
Guan Yu was also dissatisfied: "The position of the eldest brother's Qingzhou Mu is right in front of him, where is he needed to canonize it, he himself is not even Youzhou Mu, and he dares to canonize the Qingzhou Mu, it is really arrogant to the extreme." ”
Seeing that his sworn brothers and ministers were dissatisfied with Gongsun Zhan, Liu Bei reluctantly put away Gongsun Zhan's letter and said: "Clear out the bandits around the Qi State, go to see the Duke of Qi, and then the Jimo Lu Kingdom." ”
The Linzi Lu clan was beaten very badly in the early stage, but with the departure of the Taiping army, the Lu clan gradually gasped, and it was really profound.
After all, the Lu clan has been entrenched in this land for 1,300 years!
At that time, the Qi State was shattered, and the Lu family was exterminated by the Qin Dynasty, but in this land, there were too many nobles from the Lu family, and the Qin State died in just a dozen years, and it was too late to clean up the remnants here.
The real power of the Lu clan in Qi was greatly reduced in the pre-Han period, and eighty percent of the clansmen migrated to Bingzhou.
It can be said that except for the main branch of the Linzi Lu clan and the Jimo Lu clan, the rest of the Lu clan were all migrated, and there were eight princes who migrated away at that time, and now all of them have been removed.
It is impossible to say that the ancestors of Lu Bu, who was born in Bingzhou, migrated to Bingzhou.
But people can migrate, but influence is not, the name of the thousand-year-old family is really loud, even if it is a family that counts three hundred years in the Han Dynasty alone, it is very terrifying, and most of the families in Qingzhou are headed by the Lu family at least on the surface.
The existence of the big family is actually very rarely subordinate to another family, the so-called "county wang", in fact, has exhausted the relationship between them, no matter how powerful the scholar clan is, most of them can only show their prestige in the county, such as the Lu family, which is actually quite rare.
Without the cooperation of the Lu family, Liu Bei wanted to become the pastor of Qingzhou is a dream, even if he does it for a while, he must always worry about being overthrown by the family of Qingzhou with the introduction of another cross-river dragon.
Liu Bei's appearance was something that Lu Shi didn't expect, and he was able to get Yinghou's letter even more than Duke Qi expected.
After Liu Bei wiped out the bandits around Lu Guo and took out the letter of introduction that Luo Chuan had written to him, the gates of Linzi City were opened for him.
Looking at the slightly depressed city in front of them, Liu Bei and the others were a little angry, even Zhang Fei knew the significance of Liu Bei's coming here.
Whether his eldest brother can become one of the few great princes in the world, and whether he can restore the great cause of the Han family in the future, is in this city.
In the palace of Qi State, Liu Bei saw Lu Lu, the Duke of Qi, a slightly chubby middle-aged man, Lu Shi had experienced such a long time of blows, but his face was not haggard, but radiant.
Liu Bei immediately knew that the Duke of Qi in front of him was not ordinary, no wonder Yinghou let him come here directly instead of sending someone to accompany him.
Lu Lu looked at Luo Chuan's letter in his hand, and then looked at Liu Bei, Liu Bei's face is absolutely fine, anyone who sees it will say that it is a heroic appearance, Lu Lu cares about people's faces very much, he is very satisfied with Liu Bei.
After reading Luo Chuan's letter, Lu Lu put the letter on his side, looked at Liu Bei and said, "Thank you Xuande Gong for your help, otherwise this Linzi City doesn't know when it will be opened again, and your kindness is what the Lu family should repay."
You are a descendant of Emperor Gao and a relative of the Liu family, and Yinghou has made your situation very clear in his letter.
But Ben Gong has something to say.
As you have seen, Linzi City was besieged by bandits, and with the strength of the Lu Clan, it was impossible to break the siege, do you think the Lu Clan will be of any help to your great cause? ”
Liu Bei clenched his fists and said, "The Lu clan came forward, why do you need soldiers?"
Bei once heard that in the early Han Dynasty, when the Marquis of Lu faced the emperor Liu Dan, he once said: 'We, the princes, have no more than 10,000 people and no more than 100 soldiers, so what ability can we overthrow Sheji, isn't it you who will destroy you?' ’
Bei Shen thinks so, although the Lu family has no soldiers, but if he raises his arms, how can it be more than 10 million?
Is this exactly what Bei is missing?
Isn't it folly to ignore your prestige by taking advantage of your soldiers? ”
Liu Bei's words were very sincere, don't play so false, just tell the truth, Lu Lu heard the words but said happily: "Xuande Gong, you are really a sincere person, I don't know if you have a family?" ”
The family that Lu Lu asked about was naturally a wife.
Liu Bei's eyes lit up when they heard this, Guan Zhang, Jianyong and others couldn't wait to answer for Liu Bei, no!
Liu Bei was directly stunned by Lu Lu's question, even if he was a fool, he knew what Lu Lu meant by this sentence, this is to marry a girl!
This is the noble daughter of the Lu family, except for the noble daughter of the Luo family in the world, the noble daughter of the Lu family is the most expensive.
As for the princess, everyone who understands understands it, except for Luo's, who wants to marry the daughter of the royal family!
Lu Lu was very satisfied with the reaction of Liu Bei and the others, marrying a daughter is naturally very important to a family like the Lu family, but in fact it is not that important.
After Liu Bei accepted the marriage, the Lu family naturally supported him strongly, and if he didn't accept it, he would still support it, but the strength would not be so great.
And because of Liu Bang's affairs in the early Han Dynasty, the Lu family has a lesson from the past, even if it is to marry a daughter, it can't be given to Liu Bei alone.
In other words, it is impossible for the Lu family to be tied to Liu Bei's chariot, and the current Liu Bei does not have this qualification, except for the Son of Heaven who unifies the world in this world, no one is qualified to let a family as big as the Lu family support him wholeheartedly.
"Back to the Duke of Qi, I have been preparing to drift for many years, and I have been standing for many years, but I don't have a wife yet, which really disgraces the ancestors!"
Liu Bei covered his face and said, quite ashamed, Lu Lu also sighed, and then said: "Xuande Gong, my family has a noble daughter, who is worthy of a hero, I see that Xuande Gong is a hero in the world, I don't know if I am willing to marry a wife?" ”
Liu Bei had already bowed down and said, "Meng Gong will not give up, be grateful!" ”
……
It is said that Cao Cao decided to pursue after Yuan Shao left, Xun You knew that his uncle was under Cao Cao, so he reminded him: "Cao Gong, this Xiliang army can be chased, but you must pay attention to proportion, talk if you can, don't really force those people to be anxious."
They are only superficially chaotic, and the most elite Xiliang Iron Cavalry are still under the command of various captains and generals, and they can fight again with a little cheer up. ”
After saying that, Xun You was ready to return to Yingchuan, he wanted to find his friends in Yingchuan, and then decide which prince to go to, Xun You now saw it too clearly, the Han family was really not good this time.
Unless there is another branch like Emperor Guangwu, such as Liu Bei who went to Qingzhou, but it is too difficult, Liu Bei has to smash the old cauldron of the Han family before he can build a new cauldron, which is much more difficult than other princes.
In this case, Xun You estimates that this time it is really necessary to change the surname and change the country, and now there are dozens of large and small princes in the world, and there are two branches of Cao Cao and Yuan Shao in Xun's bet alone, Xun You still has to think about it.
Cao Cao still attached more importance to Xun You's words, but as soon as he chased after him, he found that this once extremely powerful Xiliang army was simply vulnerable when fleeing for his life, and he had no power to fight back.
When Li Dao Guo Yan fled for his life, he found that Cao Cao was chasing him, and Li Dao complained: "At that time, I said not to enter Luoyang, you have to enter Luoyang, now it's okay."
These palace people are really in the way, we might as well kill them directly, it's completely useless to keep these people. ”
Guo Yan was dissatisfied: "When I said that I wanted to go into Luoyang to grab things, didn't you agree?
What's the use of saying that now?
If you kill someone, it's no problem, but if the emperor kills or not? ”
Li Dao was a little hesitant when he heard this: "Isn't it good to kill the emperor in broad daylight like this?" ”
Guo Yan directly sneered: "You are really ready to kill the emperor?
Now that the emperor is killed, those Kwantung princes will come to kill us directly and let him fend for himself, as long as the emperor is in our hands, the pursuers behind will not dare to release arrows. ”
Li Dao was a little annoyed and angry, "This chasing army is really too deceitful, do you really think that my Xiliang Iron Cavalry is afraid of him?" Let's go teach him some lessons! ”
Guo Yan stopped Li Wei and said with a smile: "It was Xu Rong in front just now, let's speed up and tell Xu Rong the news that there are chasing soldiers behind, this battle will be won!" ”
Xu Rong?
Li Wei's eyes lit up, although this Xu Rong was not obvious in Dong Zhuo's army, but he did not fight or rob, everyone knew that Xu Rong was the best commander in command in the Xiliang Army, in fact, the battle outside Luoyang City was commanded by Xu Rong, but he met Luokong and directly killed Dong Zhuo.
No matter how awesome the generals are in the face of this situation, it is impossible to save the situation, Xu Rong and Li Dao Guo Yan are different, seeing that Dong Zhuo is dead, they directly led the army to Guanxi.
Cao Cao's pursuit was too smooth, and he immediately burst out laughing, and instantly threw Xun You's words out of the Nine Heavens.
"The prosperity of the army lies in the prohibition of orders, and now the Xiliang army has no fighting spirit, and it is not an enemy of us at all.
Dong Zhuo of this Xiliang Army died, and he was not brave!
As soon as Li Ru died, he was unwise!
Quickly charge with me, capture the head of the thief, save Your Majesty, and return to Luoyang. ”
As soon as the words fell, I saw the Xiliang army coming on both sides of the mountain pass, and in an instant arrows rained down, and the sound of cavalry appeared on both sides.
Cao Cao didn't know that he had been ambushed again, how could he not think that with the current Xiliang Army, how could he do an ambush?
Xun You's words when he parted were still in his ears, and Cao Cao lamented: "I regret not listening to Xun Gongda's words!" ”
