The capital of Luoyang, where the Son of Heaven is located.

Since the day of the defeat of Dong Zhuo and the return to Luoyang, all major matters in the DPRK and China have been jointly decided by Wang Yun and Liu Yu.

The two of them are naturally not powerful ministers like Dong Zhuo, nor are they as ambitious as Yuan Shao and Cao Cao.

It's just that if today's son is young, even if they want to return to the Son of Heaven, but now the Son of Heaven, who is only a teenager, can't take over this inheritance from his ancestors.

What's more, the situation between the DPRK and China is still very complicated, with conservative factions supporting the old system and radical factions eager to pull down the nobles of the DPRK and China immediately.

For the time being, there was no sword threat as close as Dong Zhuo in front of him, and the people in the court began the most familiar infighting again.

Such a complicated situation, even Wang Yun and Liu Yu, who have been in officialdom for a long time, are extremely difficult to deal with.

Even though Liu Xie is smart and far more than people of the same age, the current situation, even if he is born to know, is afraid that it will be difficult to deal with.

Today, Liu Yu came to Wang Yun's mansion to drink for the first time.

You must know that now the two of them hold the power of the court in Luoyang City, and once they join forces, they can easily set aside the Son of Heaven.

Even if the two of them have no intention of rebellion, in the eyes of others, they are still innocent and guilty.

Both of them are smart people, so naturally they don't leave a handle on people, so they rarely interact with each other after they take power.

Wang Yun personally poured a bowl of wine for Liu Yu and said with a smile, "Bo'an will come to see me today. It's a pity you didn't come to the door. I used to have a dancer in my house, and she danced very well, even if it was the best in the sun."

Wang Yun was born in the Wang family of Bingzhou, and he has been from a high family for many years, so he is naturally not a poor person with poor clothes and food.

It's just that with Dong Zhuo's move west to Chang'an, most of the belongings were destroyed in the war, and although it is stable now, it is difficult to restore it to its original grandeur for the time being.

Liu Yu also smiled when he heard this: "Zishi should know that I have never liked the luxury of those dancing girls, and now it may not be a good thing to be like this. The people feed and clothe your parents, but now that the sun is dilapidated and has not been repaired, and the people are displaced, where is the reason why parents are hungry and their children are clothed and fed?"

Wang Yun just smiled.

It is true that he is a loyal minister of the Han clan, but if he wants to live a poor life like Liu Yu, he is not used to it.

From simple to luxurious, from luxury to simple difficult.

When Liu Yu saw him like this, he didn't say much about it, what is the minister in Luoyang City like, Liu Yu has also seen it all these days.

When he was in Luoyang, most of the ministers he saw were humble and courteous, singing poems and books, and learning from each other.

It's just that it is because of Dong Zhuo's rebellion, and now most of the people in the court are addicted to wine and beauty, and the words above the court are mostly empty talk, and there are very few useful words.

Such as the story of the Jin Dynasty after that.

Liu Yu said with a smile: "Naturally, I didn't come for your wine today, now that you and I are in charge of the government, I have one thing, it's not good to talk to you in the court, but I have to say it."

[The app that has been running stably for many years is comparable to the old version of the book-chasing artifact, which is used by old bookworms.]

Now it is no longer what it used to be, and those who support the army have the truth in their words. Whether the paper stamped with the seal that went out of the city of Luoyang is of any use is nothing more than a matter of whether it is in line with the wishes of the princes."

Liu Yu sighed, although Wang Yun's words were not listening, the reason could not be clearer.

What the meaning of the Luoyang court was, to those princes, it didn't matter at all.

Probably the only effect is to make them justifiable.

Wang Yun continued, "It's not easy to drink with Bo'an, since you can't do anything anyway, it's better to stay in this city and wait for the result. Speaking of which, you and I might as well bet on a game, and guess who can go further between Yuan Benchu and Liu Xuande."

Liu Yu nodded, "I bet on Liu Xuande."

Wang Yun said: "I suddenly felt very bored, and I stopped gambling."

Liu Yu didn't care about his remorse, he just took a sip of wine to himself, "The Han family is in the world, is it really not saved?" The 400-year-old foundation of the Han family is really going to be destroyed in the hands of you and me?"

Wang Yun also took a sip of wine and sighed, "What will happen in the future, who can say for sure, we can only take a walk and see."

Liu Yu exhaled heavily.

The Han family is orthodox, but it can only wait for the times to change.

…………

To the south of the Yellow River, the Jizhou army led by Zhang He and Yan Liang has already connected several cities and is now defending the pass.

It's just that the two main generals in the army today had a disagreement, so the army had to stop.

In the main tent of the Jizhou army, Yan Liang pressed the handle of the knife with his hand, staring at Zhang He not far in front of him, as if he was about to draw his sword in the next sentence of disagreement.

He said coldly: "Junyi, the lord appointed you and me as pioneers, just hoping that you and I can build roads in the mountains and bridges in the water, so do you cringe here?"

Compared with Yan Liang's anger, Zhang He on the other side was still calm, "What the general said is naturally reasonable, but the lord wants you and me to be the vanguard, not to you and me to go to death. Not to mention that Liu Bei's account is all ten thousand enemies, even Liu Bei himself is a character who has been trained on the battlefield, and he is definitely not an easy person to deal with. Don't say that our army is lone and deep, even if the lord himself leads a large army to come, he may not be sure of victory."

Yan Liang snorted coldly, "Then Liu Xuande is just a weaver and a peddler, how can he be compared with the lord, Zhang He, you don't want to show the morale of others and destroy your own prestige."

At this point, Zhang He also felt a little angry in his heart, and he said in a deep voice, "What is the general's plan?"

Yan Liang said coldly, "Since you don't want to move forward, then stay here by yourself and wait for the lord to lead the army to come." I took my own troops and horses forward, and directly took down that Liu Bei's head."

Zhang He was silent for a moment, and then responded: "The general insists on this, and I can't stop it, but today's things are all the general's own requests, if he is defeated in the future, don't say that I haven't persuaded him today."

Yan Liang said coldly, "It's better that you don't regret missing a great military feat one day."

From time to time, there were 10,000 forwards, and Yan Liang led 5,000 people first.

-------

As early as shortly after the Jizhou army crossed the river, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei had already led their respective Qingzhou troops to intercept them.

Most of Guan Yu's troops are light cavalry, all of which are elites selected from the Qingzhou army, and the mounts are all good horses that Liu Bei has exchanged for from Youzhou over the years, plus the food in the army is excellent, under the perennial training, although it is the Central Plains cavalry, but even compared with the cavalry that has always been famous for its cavalry.

Zhang Fei's department has both foot soldiers and cavalry, before Liu Bei helped Tao Qian in Xuzhou, when he withdrew from Xuzhou, Tao Qian gave him thousands of foot soldiers, and Liu Bei had long heard of the name of these foot soldiers, it was Tao Qian who relied on the Danyang soldiers used to suppress Xuzhou.

"Second brother, just after exploring the Malay report, Zhang He was stationed in Guanzhong, and Yan Liang led an army forward."

Zhang Fei walked into Guan Yu's tent.

Guan Yu nodded, "Since they have divided their troops, then you and I might as well divide our troops."

The two rarely lead troops together, and they are both characters who are accustomed to making their own decisions, and now they lead one

Army, on the contrary, are a little uncomfortable.

Zhang Fei smiled when he heard this, "What the second brother said is that we naturally can't be worse than those Jizhou people. Which of the two of them is the second brother going to deal with?"

In fact, he already had an answer in his heart, Guan Yu would definitely choose Yan Liang.

First, there was already some festivity between the two, and secondly, Guan Yu didn't like those twists and turns that you defended me and attacked.

Guan Yu really responded, "Yan Liang."

Zhang Fei nodded, "Then I'll deal with Zhang He."

…………

On a small road in the Qingzhou Plain Country, Yan Liang was quietly walking with his cavalry.

Now in Qingzhou, although he is confident that he is not afraid of Liu Bei, but the soldiers are fast, as long as he can seize the first move, ambush Liu Bei, or can take the opportunity to kill the important ministers of Qingzhou, then he will have a great credit on the account.

Therefore, in the past few days, he has urged his troops and horses to march day and night, just to catch him off guard before the Qingzhou army reacts.

The sun hung high in the sky, and everyone was covered in armor and stomachs, and they were all sweating profusely.

There was no water source here, and people and horses were thirsty, so they had to stop in the shade of a nearby tree to rest.

At this time, Yan Liang also tied the horse to the tree on the side, took off his helmet, and sat under the tree to enjoy the shade.

Just as he was thinking about his next march, the sound of horses' hooves suddenly sounded not far away.

At first glance, it was very far away, but in a moment, it was already not far in front of me.

Yan Liang was a battle-hardened general after all, and immediately got up and beckoned his military horses to stand up to meet the enemy.

It's not that he's too lax, it's that this cavalry is coming too fast.

Many Jizhou soldiers have not yet mounted their horses, and the Qingzhou army has already been killed.

The battlefield is a killing ground, even if many Jizhou sergeants have not yet held weapons in their hands, these Qingzhou sergeants will not show mercy.

For a while, shouts of killing started, but in the blink of an eye, most of the Jizhou cavalry had been killed.

At this time, Yan Liang had already grabbed the horse's back, but seeing that the general trend was coming, he was not brave enough to be a horseman, and immediately turned around and fled.

There is also Zhang He's garrison behind him, and although it is inevitable that Zhang He will be laughed at when he escapes back like this, it is much better than losing his life.

Yan Liang sat down with a thousand miles of horses given by Yuan Shao personally, and he could gallop back and forth like the wind.

Now that his life is at stake, Yan Liang naturally no longer cares about horsepower, and sits down with a fierce whip.

Although the Qingzhou sergeant sat down was not an ordinary horse, he couldn't catch up with such a divine horse.

During this time, Yan Liang turned his head to look back, and saw that there were no pursuers behind him, so he couldn't help but feel relieved.

He has today's defeat, it's not that his ability is not as good as that Guan Yu, it's just that he fell for his trick, with his friendship with his own lord, he won't be punished for today's defeat.

One day, he will make a comeback, and then he will take down the head of Guan Yu.

Not wanting the sound of the horse's hooves behind him to rise again, he turned his head to look and saw a red horse chasing after him, and on the horse's back, it was the red-faced man with a knife.

Yan Liang was startled at first, and then saw that he was just riding forward, but he was relieved again.

Instead, he turned his horse's head and looked coldly at Guan Yu on the other side, "Today's defeat is not that I am not as good as you, but that I am defeated by the time."

At this time, Guan Yu was already stationed on the horse, and he smiled when he heard the words, "Tianshi? Do you know how long I've been staring at you? For generals, they don't know the time, they don't know the location, and they are stubborn."

Yan Liang frowned, he never thought that his actions were all in Guan Yu's calculations, and he was shocked and ashamed in his heart.

But he suddenly laughed and said, "You do have some skills, but you are too procrastinating. You and Liu Bei are righteous brothers, and now that you are coming alone, as long as you kill you, it will be a great achievement, enough to offset the crime of defeat this time!"

Guan Yu also smiled when he heard this, "Since I went out of Zhuo County with my brother, there are not a few people who want this head over the years, but now Guan can still stand here, and those old people have long been buried in the loess and want my head, why don't you come forward and get it?"

Yan Liang

I was also afraid that the other Qingzhou troops would catch up, so when I heard this, I didn't say much, and I waved my sword and killed Guan Yu.

The blue-robed man sitting on the crimson horse opened his eyes slightly.

Just now, he led his troops to attack Yan Liang, and he was unprepared, he could have easily killed this person, but Guan Yu had a grudge with this person before, since this person spoke wildly, let him see his ability, and let him die with peace of mind.

The two horses intersected, but when they met, the blade in Yan Liang's hand was almost out of his hands.

Yan Liang shouted, wanting to strengthen his own morale, but found that Guan Yu's second knife was not only powerful, but even the speed of the knife was much better than the first knife.

At this time, Yan Liang already knew that he was not this person's opponent, but now that he wanted to, he couldn't retreat.

He did his best to cut the last knife of his life.

Along with the knife in his hand, there was also the head on the neck.

Guan Yu grabbed the head in his hand and turned the horse back.

Yan Liang's death is not in the white horse.

…………

In Zhang He's garrison, there were defeated soldiers who hurriedly galloped into the pass, but they waited for a long time, but the Jizhou military horses in the pass showed no signs of mobilization, and obviously did not want to send troops to rescue Yan Liang.

In a dense forest not far from the pass, Zhang Fei had already led his Qingzhou army to ambush here, just waiting for Zhang He to lead his troops out.

I don't want Zhang He, but I don't have any action at all.

The defeated pawn who fled back was a spy planted in Yan Liang's army in Qingzhou, and this move was also to lure Zhang He out of the customs.

"I don't want to save you when you die."

Zhang Fei sighed, it seems that this time he has kicked the hard bones.

This Zhang He has some skills.
