408 Taoyuan's dream was shattered, and Liu Guanzhang went on the road
Tonight's operation has been planned for a long time, Liu Xie has thought of various possibilities, and the smoothest possibility is of course that the Royal Forest Army will rush up and kill them all while they are drunk.
However, as a fierce general who has been galloping on the battlefield for many years, Liu Xie has also thought about the possibility of fighting, but it should also be a situation that tends to be tortured and killed, after all, they have no mounts and no war horses.
But in front of him, the camp that should not have appeared, Lu Fengxian, who is unparalleled in the world, Zhao Zilong, who single-handedly shook Xiao Pass, and Zhang Wenyuan, who destroyed Jiangdong with eight hundred might, these people are tied together, even if they are fierce generals who lick blood from the knife all day long, they will tremble, not to mention Liu Xie, who has never been on the battlefield.
In fact, when the trapping camp shouted the slogan that belonged to them, Liu Xie's inner defense line had already collapsed.
Lu Bu, Zhao Yun and Zhang Liao turned over and got on their horses, just giving him a reason to surrender, and it seemed that such a disarming was more dignified.
Liu Xie sat down on the ground, and the newly formed Imperial Forest Army, which had never been in actual combat, released weapons even more quickly.
For Liu Xie, they are loyal, but they are not unwilling to hit the stone with an egg, but taking the initiative to seek death is contrary to human instinct, and those who are generous and righteous often have their own moral constraints.
But they are different, they are more obedient, which is something engraved in the bones of soldiers.
Liu Xie surrendered, but Lu Bu and Lin Mo did not make any further moves, but just asked Gao Shun to take the trap camp out of the city to transfer the wolf cavalry into the city.
At this time, the Imperial Forest Army disarmed, and several fierce generals had weapons in their hands and mounts under their crotches, so they couldn't solve any problems.
What's more, not all of the Imperial Forest Army were Liu Xie's people, and the Imperial Forest Army in Xiu Mu was also urgently summoned into the palace.
When they were busy, Liu Xie's eyes were full of despair of landslides, and he didn't want to think about how the long-planned action could fail so simply, so he just stood up with difficulty, and walked towards the direction of Taimiao with his hands drooping.
Under Lu Bu's instructions, the Imperial Forest Army was of course closely protected.
Lu Bu, Lin Mo, Zhao Yun, Zhang Liao and Jia Xu did not go far, they guarded outside the Taimiao, and as for Xu Sheng and Chen Gong, they went to clear the remnants of the force and completely control the palace defense.
The night wind was howling, snowflakes were floating in the sky, Lin Mo yawned, a little tired, this kind of waiting was the most boring.
"What is he doing?" Zhang Liao said boredly.
Seeing that Zhang Liao wanted to wave and ask the Imperial Forest Army guarding the door, Zhao Yun answered directly: "I didn't do anything, cry, and occasionally scolded the general and Yunwen." ”
"You can hear it from so far?" Zhang Liao was a little surprised.
Zhao Yun just smiled indifferently and didn't explain this ability.
When the two were joking, Lu Bu walked up to Lin Mo's side, squatted down and asked, "When can you do it?" ”
Lin Mo shook his head and said: "Don't worry, you always have to wait for this matter to spread completely, a month, it will be just the beginning of spring, and the time is just right." ”
Lu Bu nodded silently, a month, it is indeed wanted.
The first thing is to let this matter ferment, and then Zen Rang's enthronement will be justified, plus such a major matter, it is not enough to be your own people, you must hold the wall grass on weekdays tightly, and you have to investigate those people who are willing to bury the Han family.
"Ask you something."
Lin Mo didn't squeak, just looked at his old father-in-law who was squatting in front of him but only looked down at himself.
"I often tell you and the generals under your command that if it weren't for Lin Yunwen, there would be no me Lu Fengxian today, and I want to ask you a question today."
Lu Bu paused, the corners of his mouth sketched and chuckled, it seemed that this atmosphere could be more natural, "If it weren't for me Lu Fengxian, would you Lin Yunwen be where you are today?" ”
Lin Mo was not stunned, and there was not even any change in his expression.
He has always known that of course he has helped his old father-in-law to reach the world, but if there is no old father-in-law's trusting and unreserved trust, those so-called schemes may not be able to be carried out as he wishes.
Looking for Cao Cao?
Looking for Liu Bei?
Not to mention whether these plans can be implemented smoothly, but it is inevitable that you will be angry in the process.
Take 10,000 steps back and say, even if they hold themselves in the palm of their hands again, they can't treat themselves as their own sons like the old father-in-law.
However, at this juncture, the old father-in-law suddenly asked such a question, obviously not wanting to stretch his feelings with himself, he swept the Dan Majesty on the side, sat down and took a long breath.
"Does my father-in-law want to talk to my son-in-law about the ownership of the throne? I remember that Lord Yuezhang told his son-in-law that you are not interested in the position of the Ninety-Five, and would rather let your son-in-law stay in the capital, and you go to the border city to fight and protect the people, right? ”
"This time, that time. I wasn't interested in it in the past, but now, I still have some ideas. Lu Bu said without concealment.
"That day, I suddenly stopped outside the city to rest, and then you called him over, did you also talk about it?"
Lin Mo glanced at Jia Xu who was beside him, who hurriedly turned his gaze away, and moved his steps to walk away, saying that this matter had nothing to do with me.
"Master Yue, you know, although it is Liu Xiex, although it is his first hand, from a moral point of view, we seem to have the advantage, but after all, it is difficult to escape the infamy of stealing the country, do you really want such a position?" Lin Mo asked solemnly.
"I, Lu Bu, have carried so much infamy in my life, and the three family slaves have been following me for so many years, and I don't care about the name of one more usurper and traitor." Lu Bu looked like he was taking it for granted, but his eyes were scanning Lin Mo.
Child, I memorized this infamy, so you don't need to memorize it anymore.
In this era when the name is more important than life, Lu Bu does not want Lin Mo to ascend the throne after such a situation.
Lin Mo looked at the old father-in-law for a long time before he sighed, "Since Lord Yue-in-law has decided, of course the son-in-law is willing to obey the arrangement." ”
"Can't afford to take a big seat?" Lu Bu tilted his head and quipped.
"As Lord Yuezhang said, without Lord Yue, there would be no son-in-law today, we are a family, what can we talk about."
Lu Bu bowed his head with satisfaction, "It's good if you can think like this, don't worry, I can't stay in this position for too many years, and sooner or later it won't be yours." ”
With that, he got up again and walked towards the Taimiao.
"Master Yue."
Lin Mo got up and called out to Lu Bu and arched his hand towards his back, "The child remembers the kindness of Lord Yue. ”
Lu Bu turned his face away, and after showing a smug smile, he walked freely and happily.
He knew he had done something for him.
"Your temperament is not a person who is worried about infamy, are you afraid that after you ascend the throne, the Taiwei will go to the border, and it will be difficult to see you again, don't you want to?"
After Lu Bu left, the old yin slowly leaned over and said with a sigh.
Lin Mo didn't nod or shake his head, just looked at Da Xu, who had made the three armies believe, and said in a deep voice: "Lord Yuezhang has been fighting all his life, and it's time to stop and rest." ”
"Alas, it is said that the royal family has no family affection, for the sake of the throne, how many flesh and blood relatives have been killed, the three brothers of the Yuan family, Liu Jingsheng's two sons, but your son-in-law, it is really enviable." The old yin goods have a feeling.
In fact, in Lin Mo's heart, even if it was really Lu Bu who ascended the throne, he would be his father-in-law first, and then he would be today's son.
Unloading the mill and killing the donkey, crossing the river and demolishing the bridge, the old father-in-law's temperament really can't do this kind of thing.
That is, some love to do things with nature.
But he basically takes care of these things by himself.
The old father-in-law is Lin Mo's favorite, and he will not forcibly interfere with things that he doesn't understand.
In the eyes of the old father-in-law, this is that he can't help much, and he is very depressed, but in Lin Mo's opinion, this is exactly the most important quality that a top-level manager should have.
It was a long and smooth night.
After Gao Shun rode into the city with the wolf of Bingzhou, he also took down the seed series responsible for the defense of the Nine Gates, Dong Cheng and Fu Wan naturally couldn't hide, tonight's war without gunpowder smoke was considered to have cleaned up all the imperial party loyalists around Liu Xie.
Xun Yu, this guy Lin Mo doesn't really want to kill, now Yingchuan is very obedient, there is no suitable reason to move him, besides, his behavior is also okay, Lin Mo is not willing to make too much noise at the last juncture to cause extraneous branches.
It's great that on the day of the move, let Zhong Xuan pull him and don't go to the court.
"There's another guy who piggybacked on it." When the dust settled, Lin Mo yawned and was about to go back to rest.
"Who?" Zhang Liao asked.
"Jade Seal Officer, Zu Bi."
"What are you going to do to kill him?"
"When Zen is made, the jade seal official wants to participate in it, this person doesn't talk much on weekdays, but after all, he is not our person." This is one of the few diehards around Liu Xie.
When Cao Pi usurped the throne, he dared to scold the noble man of the Cao family in front of the Manchu minister, which was very rigid.
But in fact, Lin Mo looks down on this kind of person in his bones, and it seems to be righteous and awe-inspiring on the surface, but this kind of futile and wasted his life, how many people themselves are rushing to win the fame before and after their deaths.
In the following days, the core members of the Lu Lin faction were very busy, and those who should be investigating the Emperor Party's Qing Emperor Party and overthrowing Yang Biao's faction were not polite, and even started a purge in the barracks, just to make Chan Rang not make any mistakes that day.
At the same time, generals stationed abroad will also send cronies to inform, such as Zhang Xiu.
Of course, Lin Mo's calculation of the start time is a month later, but the real Zen enthronement ceremony is not something that can be held just by looking at the good weather, and the servant has to calculate the date accurately.
So, there is plenty of time to prepare.
Liu Xie has probably accepted his fate, and during this time, the last dynasty did not speak, and he did not see the foreign ministers when he retreated, and he didn't know what he was thinking when he locked himself up every day.
After all, after the incident of killing the heroes fermented, no one in the court regarded him as the Son of Heaven anymore.
In this way, after about a month, the peach blossoms have already bloomed, and everything is ready to be started.
"Taiwei, Sikong, Liu Bei and Guan Yu have already passed the post station outside the city, according to the orders of Taiwei and Sikong, the soldiers did not stop them, but took down their weapons." This head was about to have the last court meeting of the Han Dynasty, and the captain in charge of the post station defense entered the door to report.
"I thought that the Taoyuan oath was just talking, the love of Liu Guanzhang and the three of them, it seems that it is really not talking, knowing that moths are fighting fires, they are still so duty-free." Probably, at this moment, Lu Bu was finally willing to look down on these three brothers.
On the battlefield, he was red-eyed and willing to exchange his life for his life, which was somewhat arrogant.
But Zhang Bang let Liu Bei go to Xuchang in the world, this kind of sober cognition in a state of reason is a dead end, but you can still resolutely and resolutely go to death, the essential difference is not small.
At this point, Lu Bu respects him Liu Bei and Guan Yu are men.
Only Lin Mo knew that this man who dared to risk the world's disapproval and raise the country's military strength to wage war for his younger brother was really willing to live and die with them.
On this day, the sun was just right, and the peach blossoms by the city wall were swaying in the warm wind, beckoning to the two men who came with a resolute face.
"Liu Xuande, please see Lu Bu and Lin Mo, I came here by edict to return my third brother!" Under the city pass, Liu Bei on the Lu horse held his head high.
"Please Uncle Liu Huang into the city!" The captain on the road in Chengguan replied to him, and the soldiers looked at Liu Bei with a little admiration in their eyes.
Knowing that it is death, resolutely decisive, who doesn't want to have such siblings.
They entered the city, here, it was the return of fate, but there was not the slightest fear or wave in their eyes.
There were already armor soldiers waiting there at the gate of the city, not many, just one, who was responsible for leading the way.
This is Xuchang City, they came alone, all they wanted was to see Zhang Fei, before that, they all knew that these two people would not come nonsense.
Lin Mo talks about whether he is trustworthy or not depends on what things and who he is.
This time, he was trustworthy.
In his words, in this world, only the unswerving true love and the righteousness of exchanging life for life should not be desecrated.
The armor took the two to the Sikong Mansion, bypassing the shadow wall, and the side door entered the backyard full of peach blossoms.
In terms of this scale, of course, it is much larger than the peach orchard of Zhang Fei's family in Zhuo County, but in Liu Bei's opinion, none of them are opened for themselves.
"Big brother, second brother!"
Zhang Fei was not tied up with flowers and distributed, as Liu Bei and Guan Yu thought, in fact, he was also treated as a guest of honor.
"Third brother!" Liu Bei and Guan Yu greeted them.
The three brothers have been separated for nearly two months, and when they meet again, they feel like they are in a different world, and they all cry loudly.
Maybe it's sad that they can meet again after a long absence, or maybe it's because they don't have a chance to drink and talk after this goodbye, in short, no one said a word, the three just hugged each other and sobbed.
In the end, after the emotions were vented, the three of them sighed around the stone table in the middle of the courtyard.
Everyone seems to have a tacit understanding in their hearts, and they don't imagine the future like the past fiasco, but they are just talking about the past.
will talk about the details of the Taoyuan uprising, the battle against the Yellow Turbans when Ying Zhao formed an army, and the joy of whipping the post inspector, in a blink of an eye, these things have passed for 20 years.
"If only there was wine." The prime years are the best time to go with alcohol.
As soon as Liu Bei's words of emotion fell, Zhao Yun walked over with a jar of wine in his left and right hands, "Xuande, Yunchang, Yide, these two jars of wine, the peach blossom brew I prepared for you, but today, I can't drink with you." ”
He was accompanied by Zhang Liao, who also carried a jar of wine, and took three swords in his other hand and put them down together.
The three of them ignored Zhang Liao, but looked at Zhao Yun with a condensed face, knowing that he was just thinking about the old love.
Thinking of the battle at the foot of Yang'an Mountain, the three of them actually felt a little guilty in their hearts, so Liu Bei just said from beginning to end, "Thank you Zilong." ”
Zhao Yun nodded, didn't speak again, and turned around indifferently to leave.
There's not much time left, so I'll leave it all to them.
He believes that these three brothers are decent people, and Lin Mo has done his duty to be benevolent, and he should not need others to help them be decent.
"Come, second brother and third brother, regardless of whether he is dead or alive tomorrow, the three of us brothers will go back to Taoyuan today and rest as soon as we get drunk!"
"Big brother said well, come!"
"!"
The sunshine of early spring has witnessed their heroic spirit and witnessed their death as home.
The two large jars of wine were dried to the end before the sun set.
Looking at the bloody remnant sun, Liu Bei slowly pulled out one of the swords, and the sword body formed a halo of light in the setting sun, and in the halo, there were good memories of the three brothers in those years.
The wind rose, and the peach petals flew in front of them.
"Yide, I don't know if the peach garden in Zhuo County is also blooming so brilliantly." Liu Bei, whose face was flushed, sighed.
Guan Yu and Zhang Fei all had a sour nose when they heard this, and they also pulled out their long swords.
"Big brother, it's too much to die like this, it's good to have a sword, let's rush out, how many can we kill!" Zhang Fei felt that dying on the battlefield was his destination.
Guan Yu was silent, but Liu Bei shook his head, "Why bother, look at this peach orchard, and this peach blossom brew, Lin Mo"
Liu Bei chuckled, "It's kind of to treat us, after all, the three of us brothers can still go on the road together in Taoyuan, just rush to this, I thank him." ”
After speaking, Liu Bei suddenly roared angrily: "Ancestors and ancestors, Liu Bei is incompetent and can't save the country and drive away thieves!" ”
After speaking, the blade of the sword was wiped over, and blood splattered three feet.
Guan Yu and Zhang Fei glanced at each other, "See you on the road." ”
The long sword slashed, and the Taoyuan dream ended in Taoyuan.
It's just that the redder peach blossoms stained by blood are still swaying in the wind.
In the distance, Lin Mo walked slowly under the protection of Zhao Yun in a big coat, looked at this scene and sighed lightly, and muttered: "The human face doesn't know where to go, and the peach blossoms are still smiling in the spring breeze."
