Chapter 70: Buy One Get Two Free
Emperor Ling had only two sons, the eldest son, Liu Wei, who was born to Empress He. Son Liu Xie, born to Wang Meiren. According to legend, today's queen is jealous, and she was afraid of losing her status in the main palace because Wang Meiren was pregnant with the second prince Liu Xie, so she did not hesitate to poison Wang Meiren. Because He's elder brother was a general in the current dynasty and held the military power, the momentum was blazing, and Emperor Ling had no choice but to suffer a dumb loss. But Wang Meiren had already given birth to the Prince's Association before she was poisoned by the queen, and in order to protect the Prince's Association from the queen's poisonous hands, Emperor Ling put the Prince's Association in the Empress Dowager Dong's place and the Queen Mother helped take care of it.
The prince is smart and clever, and is deeply loved by the Empress Dowager Dong. In addition, because Emperor Ling has a deep love for Wang Meiren, there is always a sense of guilt for Wang Meiren Emperor Lingdi, and this sense of guilt has naturally become the advantage of the prince to ascend to the great treasure.
The mother is more expensive than the son, if the prince is allowed to ascend to the throne, then the throne of the queen will definitely not be guaranteed. In addition, the biological mother of the Prince's Association was poisoned by Empress He, once the Prince's Association ascended the throne as the emperor, then the situation of Empress He arguing with the prince can be imagined, even if He Jin holds the army, it may not be better.
For the sake of his son and the status of the He family, Empress He must eradicate the unknown danger of the prince's association.
Now that the prince association is young, the He family still has He Jin as a general, so the possibility of the prince becoming the emperor is still very great. Although Emperor Ling really wanted his second son to inherit the throne, the situation did not allow it. While he still had breath, Emperor Ling felt that he had to find a way to live for him. At the beginning, Emperor Ling pinned his hopes on Jian Shuo, so he found a way to open Xiyuan, and took away part of He Jin's military power under the pretext of training a new army. It's just that this road doesn't work, because for now, the Xiyuan Forbidden Army has been controlled by the family, and Emperor Ling's move is to make a wedding dress for others. Since the move to divide the military power of He Jin no longer works, what should be done?
Emperor Ling set his sights on the local officials, and at this time, Fan Xiwen broke the 80,000 yellow turbans with 10,000 troops and arrived in the capital with countless Tang newspapers. The court fell out because of this, but Emperor Ling saw hope in it, talent. took a look at Fan Xiwen's file and found that this person had 10,000 troops in less than two years in charge of Le'an, and he was indeed a talent. However, Emperor Ling was also worried that Fan Xiwen would support his own troops, so he personally went out to test his character, and finally came to the conclusion that he could be trusted.
Therefore, Emperor Ling relieved himself to hand over Liu Xie to Fan Xiwen, but for the sake of insurance, Emperor Ling still decided to let Liu Xie change his name Liu Xuan, so that even if Fan Xiwen really wanted to support the army and respect himself, Liu Xie could also go away to the desert under the escort of Wang Yue, who was secretly protected by Emperor Ling.
Thinking about it, it is really sad for the Han family that the dignified generation of heavenly sons has fallen to such a state. Although the Spirit Emperor is mediocre, he is not stupid. He knows that the Han family has declined now, no matter which son becomes the emperor, he will only be a puppet, rather than leaving Liu Xie in the palace and waiting to be used as a tool, it is better to let him go out and be an ordinary person, at least he can save his life.
Because of the appearance of Fan Xiwen, history has completely changed at this moment, everything has changed, and at this time people are no longer familiar with the end of the Han Dynasty, as for whether there will be the arrival of the Three Kingdoms era, it will become an unknown. At this time, Fan Xiwen also knew that history was no longer what he was familiar with, and he couldn't help but feel a little panic in his heart. For a long time, although Fan Xiwen has not reaped many benefits from following history, at least Fan Xiwen feels that there is still a sense of familiarity, so at least Fan Xiwen will have a sense of belonging. This time it all became strange, and Fan Xiwen was really a little uncomfortable.

used to read novels, and always said how much Guo Jia loved to drink, at first Fan Xiwen still didn't think so, but now Fan Xiwen knows that the original novel is not enough. Guo Jia still looked lazy when he got up, and his eyes were a little open, but after asking about the smell of wine, his eyes immediately widened, and at that moment Guo Jia showed absolutely unprecedented spirit.
In this way, Fan Xiwen finally knew that Guo Jia was really not an ordinary god, in addition to being a good drinker because of his powerful strategy. Last night, the two drank to the end, Fan Xiwen was a little drunk so he began to run the train with his mouth full, saying how good the wine in his cellar was, at that time Guo Jia said that if Fan Xiwen provided him with the kind of wine he just drank for a long time, then he would be willing to worship him as the master, at first Fan Xiwen thought that Guo Jia was joking, but just now when he was eating, Guo Jia asked Fan Xiwen to fulfill that promise.
God knows what Fan Xiwen said when he was drunk last night? However, he got a king-level strategist for nothing, and Fan Xiwen's happy mouth didn't see the edge, so he generously agreed. But then, Fan Xiwen regretted it, Guo Jia was going to drink early in the morning. This is okay, the surrounding guards also looked at Fan Xiwen, Fan Xiwen had no choice but not to favor one over the other. had to endure the pain and ask the shopkeeper for wine, but as a result, Fan Xiwen spent more than fifty taels of silver on one meal.
What's the solution? Who called them all Fan Xiwen's subordinates, who did not eat Fan Xiwen? Although Guo Jia has been upgraded to the level of an alcoholic in his heart, the money spent is like water spilled and cannot be recovered. However, Fan Xiwen's fifty taels of silver were actually not spent at all, not to mention that Guo Jia, a king-level strategist, thought that Fan Xiwen was a lord worthy of assistance, let's just say that Wen Jia, a fifth-class martial artist, was a fierce man compared to Chen Zhiyou. Of course, the most important thing is that there is another person who came to Luoyang with Guo Jia and them, and that person is called Xu Chu.
Xu Chu, that's a fierce man, definitely a rare fierce general. Cao Boss's two ace bodyguards, Dian Wei and Xu Chu. Dian Wei can fight the tiger with one hand, and fight Zhang Xiu's entire army alone without any equipment, but he dragged on for most of the night, and no one dared to approach after his death. And what else is the slogan of the people's ranking of military generals in Lu and Erzhao, Dian Wei ranks third, Xu Chu ranks ninth, and his ability is extremely strong. The most important thing is that both of them are the commanders of the Tiger Guard Army under Boss Cao, and the force that is specifically responsible for protecting Boss Cao's safety is completely calculated based on their personal fighting ability, and it is undoubtedly reassuring that Dian Wei and Xu Chu can serve as this commander.
recruited a Wenchen, with two military generals, one of whom is still a figure who is also a big and colorful character in Luo Guanzhong, Fan Xiwen feels that this is worth more than fifty taels of silver.
After eating, Fan Xiwen was already ready to go back and go back to Le'an. This place is so unreassuring. But there is one more thing to do before this, and that is to bring Xu Chu with him. Since he knew that Xu Chu was here, Fan Xiwen must bring him back, the name of this general really made Fan Xiwen's eyes red.
Because Wang Fan worshiped his master, he now has to go to the martial arts hall to call Wang Yue to go with him, and Fan Xiwen didn't ask Wang Fan to follow. just took a class of guards and Wen Jia and Guo Jia to the place where they lived before, and Guo Jia and they actually rented a house in Luoyang. It seems that Wen Jia here is also a rich master, otherwise Guo Jia and Xu Chu probably don't have such ability.
The house group was in the south of the city, Fan Xiwen and others walked all the way through the streets and alleys, and after walking for more than half an hour, they finally saw the eaves of the house, and then they finally saw the threshold. As soon as I reached the door, I heard a loud shout coming from inside. Fan Xiwen and Guo Jia glanced at each other, then pushed open the door and approached inside to see that Xu Chu was competing with others.
The screams were naturally made by others, Xu Chu was like he was playing, the other party's weapon was blocked by force, and the other person was always unable to cause harm to Xu Chu. It seems that Xu Chu is idle and has nothing to do, so he called a few neighbors to play.
Leaving twelve guards to stand guard outside, Fan Xiwen, Guo Jia, and Wen Jia walked into the courtyard.
"Fengxiao, you are coming back in the family year." Xu Chu saw Guo Jia walk in, so he said hello. And the young man who was competing with Xu Chu saw Xu Chu distracted and immediately attacked him, and a spear in his hand stabbed Xu Chu's left arm, who knew that the back of Xu Chu's head was like having eyes, and he didn't see that his left hand reached out and grabbed the menacing spear, but it was difficult for the spear to move.
"Hehe, little doll, you still want to sneak attack me, how can it be so easy." Xu Chu turned to the young man and said, showing his mouth full of white teeth. The young man's face was flushed, and he didn't know if it was because he used too much force when he drew his gun. "Hehe, lie down." Before Xu Chu's words fell, the young man really fell backwards, and it turned out that Xu Chu took the opportunity to let go of the hand holding the spear when he spoke.
"You're still cheating." The young man fell on all fours, and complained about Xu Chudao while still lying on the ground.
"Haha, I'll allow you to sneak attack from behind, don't you allow me to cheat." Xu Chu smiled slyly, and then said very seriously, but he immediately laughed out loud before he did this for a second.
"Your martial arts skills are so much higher than mine, how can I win against you if I don't sneak attack. No, even if I sneak attacked, I still didn't beat you. The young man got up from the ground, patted the dust on his body, and said with some discouragement.
"Hehe, you're much younger than me, and you'll surpass me one day." Seeing the young man showing a battered appearance, Xu Chu was afraid that he would be shadowed and it would be difficult for him to make progress in the future, so he opened his mouth to comfort.
