The first year of Xingping, the end of August.

Liu Xie led the ministers to Luoyang.

Looking at the depressed and decaying Luoyang City, Liu Xie couldn't help but feel a burst of sadness in his heart.

"The prosperous old capital has become a ruined wall."

"Shame on the Han family!"

Liu Xie sent people to clean up the mansion that could be temporarily lived in in the dilapidated Luoyang, and on the other hand, he summoned Zongzheng Liu Ai.

"Zongzheng, what does General Zhengbei think?" Liu Xie's tone was a little hurried.

Because of the differences between Cao Cao and Zhang Di and the Chinese martial arts of the dynasty, Liu Xie could only temporarily move the capital to Luoyang.

But after arriving in Luoyang, Liu Xie's mind changed again.

In Luoyang, a ruined place, it is not suitable to be the imperial capital at all.

Nowadays, the Korean Chinese military is divided into four factions.

One faction, led by Lu Bu, Zhang Miao, and Chen Gong, hoped to move the capital to Chenliu.

One faction, led by Zhong Xuan, hoped to move the capital to Yingchuan.

One faction, led by Yang Biao and Ma Riyan, hoped to stay in Luoyang or move the capital to Hongnong.

One faction, led by Liu Ai, hopes to move the capital to Qingzhou.

And the idea of moving the capital to Qingzhou headed by Liu Ai is actually Liu Xie's idea.

Liu Ai said: "When the minister went to Qingzhou, General Zhengbei was in conflict with Yuan Shao. ”

"But General Zhengbei has promised that he will end the conflict with Yuan Shao as soon as possible and come to Luoyang to meet His Majesty."

Liu Xie was slightly surprised: "General Zhengbei and Yuan Shao fought?" Do you know why? ”

Liu Ai said truthfully: "Liu Qingzhou sent troops to escort Gongsun Zhan's family back to Qingzhou, but was intercepted and killed by Yuan Shao, and the general of Zhengbei was angry and ordered to attack Nanpicheng. ”

Liu Xie frowned a little: "Gongsun Zhan is a rebellious person, why did General Zhengbei send troops to save him?" ”

Liu Ai hurriedly explained: "Your Majesty, General Zhengbei has always taken faith and righteousness as the foundation of his life, although this Gongsun Zhan is a rebel, he has a good personal relationship with General Zhengbei, and the two are both Lu Shangshu's subordinates. ”

Although Gongsun Chan had a rebellious act, the general of Zhengbei did not want to break off his old friend, so he sent troops to escort Gongsun Zhan's family back to Qingzhou. For those who value love and righteousness, Your Majesty should be happy. ”

Liu Xie's brows stretched: "Zong Zheng's words are reasonable. General Zhengbei is so affectionate to his old friends, and he will definitely not forget my kindness. ”

"Although Shu temporarily agreed to the Chinese martial arts, first move the capital to Luoyang, and then decide whether to go to Chenliu or Yingchuan, but now Shu only wants to go to Qingzhou."

"Whether it is Chen Liu or Yingchuan, they are a group of ambitious people who want to control me, and only the general of Zhengbei is sincere to me."

Between words.

Dong Cheng arrived.

Recently, Dong Cheng has been high-spirited, his father is expensive with his daughter, and this daughter has become a nobleman, and Dong Cheng's status is naturally rising.

Dong Cheng was originally the subordinate of Dong Zhuo's general Niu Fu, and it stands to reason that he could not become Liu Xie's national abbot.

However, this Dong Cheng is the nephew of the Empress Dowager Dong, the mother of Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty, and Liu Xie has been taken care of by the Empress Dowager Dong since he was a child.

"Your Majesty, what a great event!"

"The locust plague has swept Dongjun and Chenliu County, Your Majesty doesn't need to move the capital to Chenliu."

Dong Cheng didn't notice Liu Xie's increasingly blue face.

What good news is this!

"Guozhang, the people are affected by the disaster, and I am worried, how can I be happy?" Liu Xie's tone also became unswerving.

Dong Cheng's fart slapped on the horse's leg, and he was immediately a little embarrassed, and said: "Your Majesty's kindness is the blessing of the people." ”

Liu Xie's eyes became complicated: "Has Yingchuan been affected by the locust plague?" ”

Dong Cheng shook his head: "There is no locust plague in Yingchuan. ”

Liu Xie's eyes became more worried.

Originally, the two factions of moving the capital to Chenliu and moving the capital to Yingchuan quarreled, but now that Chenliu has encountered a locust plague and Yingchuan has not encountered a locust plague, then there will be more people who support moving the capital to Yingchuan.

As Liu Xie guessed, when the news of the locust plague in Chenliu and Dongjun spread among the ministers, Zhong Xuan was the first to look for Liu Xie, and then persuaded Liu Xie to move the capital to Yingchuan.

Subsequently, more than ten ministers came to find Liu Xie and advised Liu Xie to move the capital to Yingchuan.

On the other side, Lu Bu, Zhang Miao and Chen Gong were quite uncomfortable.

"How can Chen Liu have a locust plague?"

"How did Zang Ziyuan prevent it!"

Zhang Miao felt a strong sense of malice.

Ruling Guanzhong, Guanzhong drought.

Just arrived in Luoyang, Chen Liu's locust plague.

It seems that this heavenly way doesn't want Liu Xie to go to Chen Liu, and doesn't want Zhang Miao to be in power.

Lu Bu's face was not good-looking.

This General Jianwei has been in office for a long time, and Lu Bu no longer wants to be subservient.

If the capital was moved to Yingchuan, Cao Cao's power would skyrocket, and it would be difficult for Lü Bu to become a general in charge of military power.

Will Cao Cao give Lu Bu command of Yuzhou's soldiers and horses?

Lu Bu would not be so confident that Cao Cao would hand over the command!

But if Cao Cao didn't hand over the command, how could Lu Bu be called the general Jianwei who was in charge of the military?

Chen Gong pondered for a long time and said, "For today's plan, the only way to do this is to let Your Majesty stay in Luoyang as much as possible, and then delay it until next year." ”

Chen Gong's idea was simple.

The locust plague in Chenliu will also occur this year, and by next year, Chenliu will still be the most suitable place to move the capital.

Zhang Miao frowned and said: "Although the policy of public Taiwan is feasible, Zhong Xuan, Cao Cao and others will not let Your Majesty delay it until next year." Even, they will talk about locust plagues, such as moving the capital to Chen Liu's bad luck and so on. ”

When it comes to interests, no matter how good luck or evil, it is just a means to strike at the enemy.

If there is a locust plague in Yingchuan and there is no locust plague in Chenliu, Zhang Miao will also use this excuse to attack Zhong Xuan, Cao Cao and others.

Chen Gong pondered and said, "Why don't you invite Liu Bei to Luoyang?" If Liu Bei wanted His Majesty to move the capital to Qingzhou, Zhong Xuan, Cao Cao and others would definitely refuse. ”

"In this way, we can persuade His Majesty to stay in Luoyang for the time being, and wait for Cao Cao and Liu Bei to fight for a result."

"As long as it is delayed until next year, you can ask Your Majesty to move the capital to Chenliu."

Lu Bu's thoughts were more direct: "No matter where Your Majesty moves the capital, no one can move the general's General Jianwei!" Whoever moves will be killed! ”

Compared with the worries of Liu Xie, Zhang Miao and others, Cao Cao was very happy.

Long before Liu Xie arrived in Luoyang, Cao Cao personally led his troops and horses to escort him.

Knowing that Dongjun and Chenliu were plagued by locusts, Cao Cao's heart was happy.

"Zang Ziyuan is a talent, even in the face of locust plagues, he has a way to deal with it."

"It's a pity that the locust plague in Chenliu and Dongjun is not about how much harm it will cause to the two counties, but because there is a locust plague in Chenliu, and it is unlucky for the Son of Heaven to move the capital!"

"Zhang Mengzhuo never thought that the heavens didn't want His Majesty to move the capital to Chenliu!"

"In this way, Your Majesty can only move the capital to Xu County!"

Cao Cao was in a comfortable mood.

As long as Liu Xie moves the capital to Xu County, then all the affairs of the DPRK and China are not decided by him Cao Cao?

As for Lu Bu, Zhang Miao, and Chen Gong, in the Yingchuan realm, even dragons have to lie on their stomachs, not to mention a few sick tigers!

Guo Jia, who was on the side, saw that Cao Cao was a little carried away, and reminded him in time: "Ming Gong can't be careless, beware of Zhang Mengzhuo's tricks again." ”

Cao Cao was a little disdainful: "Chen Liudu has a locust plague, Zhang Mengzhuo is helpless, can Your Majesty still move elsewhere?" ”

Guo Jia's eyes were scorching, and his right hand pointed slightly in the direction of Qingzhou: "Duke Ming, don't forget, before Your Majesty moved the capital, Zongzheng Liu Ai went to Qingzhou. ”

"Your Majesty, but I've always wanted to go to Qingzhou!"

"Zhang Mengzhuo only needs to drag it until Zang Hong solves the locust plague in Chenliu and Dongjun, and then he can persuade His Majesty to go to Chenliu again."

Thinking of the contradiction with Liu Bei, Cao Cao couldn't help frowning: "According to Fengxiao's words, how should I deal with it?" ”

Guo Jia concluded: "I thought that Zhang Miao would definitely send someone to Qingzhou to state his interests, and if Liu Bei didn't want His Majesty to move the capital to Yingchuan, he would temporarily form an alliance with Zhang Miao." ”

"It is imperative that the Duke of Ming send someone to Qingzhou to test Liu Bei's attitude towards His Majesty's relocation of the capital, and make plans early!"

Cao Cao paced and pondered, and a wave of unhappiness flashed in his eyes: "How come there is Liu Bei everywhere!"

Linzi City.

After Yuan Shao ordered Yan Liang to retreat to Chengping, Liu Bei ordered Sun Jian to lead the broken military camp to garrison Nanpi City, and Dian Wei led the Ruishi battalion to garrison Leling City, and the rest of the soldiers and horses returned to their respective stations.

Yuan Shao was busy returning to Zhuocheng to stabilize the overall situation, and he couldn't care about taking back Nanpi City.

The military conflict between Liu Bei and Yuan Shao also came to an end for the time being.

Early September.

Liu Bei returned to Linzi City.

Xun You brought a young man in his twenties to see Liu Bei.

"Envoy, this person is a native of Wuzhong County, Beiping County, Youzhou, surnamed Tian and the word Zitai, who was originally a subordinate of Da Sima, and later because Yuan Shaogong Sun Zan supported the establishment of a pseudo-emperor, Zitai was hidden in Xu Wushan."

"I came to Qingzhou this time because I was entrusted by Gongsun Zhan."

Liu Bei was shocked when he heard this, and hurriedly stepped forward to salute: "Mr. Zitai, do you know where Brother Bogui has gone now?" ”

Tian Chou sighed lightly: "Gongsun Bogui expelled the Great Sima, snatched the jade seal of the country, and supported the puppet emperor, I didn't want to have anything to do with Gongsun Bogui anymore. ”

"It's just more than half a month ago that Gongsun Chan suddenly came to Xu Wushan to look for me, hoping that I could send the heirloom jade seal to Qingzhou."

"As for Gongsun Bogui, he was worried that his whereabouts would be exposed and he would implicate me, so he went to the outside of the Saiwai alone to find the Wuhuan King Tadun."

"Say: As long as he dies in the hands of the Wuhuan people, Yuan Shao will mistakenly think that the jade seal of the country has fallen into the hands of the Wuhuan people."

After speaking.

Tian Chou took out a package and handed it to Liu Bei with both hands.

Liu Bei took the package tremblingly, and his eyes were a little sad.

Although he had already guessed that Gongsun Chan would inevitably die, Liu Bei couldn't help but be sad when he heard that Gongsun Chan was going to the plug alone.

"Brother Bogui has arrogance in his heart, and he would rather die in battle than come to Qingzhou to live."

"Cry of sorrow!"

Long.

Liu Bei solemnly saluted Tian Chou: "Bei, thank Mr. Zitai for Brother Bogui's righteousness." ”

Tian Chou also replied with a salute and said, "I heard that the Great Sima is in Zhuxu County, and I want to go to Zhuxu County to visit the Great Sima, and I also ask Liu Yuanjun to send someone who knows the way to go with me." ”

Liu Bei was in a complicated mood at this time, and did not keep Tian Chou, but just asked Xun You to arrange a guide for Tian Chou to go to Zhuxu County.

"A mere heirloom jade seal has made countless people obsessed with it."

"Yuan Shu was defeated because of this, and Brother Bogui also died because of it."

"Ordered by the sky, both longevity and eternal prosperity. If he gets the jade seal of the country and is the person of destiny, how can Yuan Shu and Brother Bogui suffer disasters because of this. ”

"It's not that it's ordered by heaven, but it's hard to bear its weight."

On the occasion of emotion.

Liu Bei sent someone to invite Zheng Ping.

This time, the jade seal of the country was able to return to Qingzhou, and Zheng Ping's plan was indispensable.

However, this time, Liu Bei did not have the joy of success, and his mood became heavy because of Gongsun Zhan's death.

"Xianmou, Brother Bogui entrusted Xu Wushan's hermit Tian Chou to send back the jade seal of the country."

"As for Brother Bogui, he went alone to look for King Wuhuan."

Liu Bei's tone was a little low.

Zheng Ping carefully looked at the jade seal of the country, and then said with relief: "Envoy, General Gongsun's move not only completes the brotherhood with the envoy, but also gives the envoy enough reasons to protect General Gongsun's family." ”

"General Baima became famous because of Wuhuan, and now he died outside the Saiwai, which can be regarded as a well-deserved death."

Liu Bei also knew very well in his heart that Gongsun Zhan's choice was the best ending at present.

will not return to Qingzhou because of the rebellious identity to make Liu Bei embarrassed, kill the pseudo-emperor to take the jade seal, and let the jade seal return to Liu Bei's hands, which can be regarded as making up for Liu Bei's past mistakes.

not only preserved the family, but also allowed Liu Bei to have the credit of regaining the jade seal of the country.

Long.

Liu Bei sighed and asked, "Xianmou, what should I do with this heirloom jade seal now?" Will it continue to be handed over to Da Sima for safekeeping, or will it be sent to Luoyang and returned to the Son of Heaven? ”

Zheng Ping said without thinking: "The jade seal of the country is the thing of the Han family, if the son is already in charge today, it will naturally be sent to Luoyang and returned to the Son of Heaven." ”

"If you have the merit of returning the jade seal, you will have a higher right to speak in the court in the future."

"No matter who governs the court in the future, he will not dare to frame the envoy in front of the Son of Heaven."

"It just so happens that Yuan Shao wants to return to Zhuocheng to stabilize the situation in Youji and Sanzhou, and he is temporarily unable to go south to compete with the envoy, so that you can take the opportunity to go to Luoyang and meet the Son of Heaven!"

Liu Bei thought for a moment, agreed to Zheng Ping's proposal, and said, "This time I will go to Luoyang, and Xianmou will go with him." Qingzhou has a public commander as a driver, and you and I don't have to worry about this military and political affairs. ”

"As for the soldiers and horses, the Bai Yu battalion is a heavy shield battalion, and the march is too slow, which is not conducive to adaptation. I deliberately let the white-robed battalion go with me, what do I think? ”

Zheng Ping thought for a while, nodded and agreed: "It's okay to make this arrangement." In addition to the white-robed camp, let Ah Liang and Ah Xun also go together. ”

"These two little guys haven't been to Luoyang yet, so letting them see the land of Xiongguan and Heluo in the world is also good for their future growth."

Liu Bei stroked his short hair and said with a smile: "Xianmou's expectations for Ah Liang and Ah Xun are quite high." ”

Zheng Ping also smiled: "Ah Liang and Ah Xun can be on their own sooner, and I can also be idle sooner." ”

The two looked at each other and laughed.

Liu Bei and Zheng Ping have been working together for more than four years, and Liu Bei is also very clear about Zheng Ping's life ideals.

For Zheng Ping, the Han family must be supported, and the world must be unified.

But after this Kuang Fu Han family ruled the world, Zheng Ping wanted to leave his stall and go to the world.

Liu Bei knows very well that Zheng Ping is not worried about the rabbit dead dog cooking so he wants to set up a stall, with the family background of the Zheng family in Beihai, the reputation of Zheng Xuan and Zheng Ping's father and son, who dares to play the trick of rabbit dead dog cooking?

It can be said that most of the people with lofty ideals in the Han family are related to Zheng Ping.

Rabbit dead dog cooking, isn't that boring?

Cultivating Zhuge Liang and Lu Xun is also Zheng Ping's desire to make it easier after leaving the stall.

Otherwise, as soon as this person leaves, the world will be chaotic again, and Zheng Ping will be very upset.
