Inside Zhuocheng.

Yuan Xi looked at Yuan Shao with a worried expression.

After returning from the city tower, Yuan Shao vomited blood.

Yuan Shao is over forty years old after all, and his body is no longer young.

was already depressed in his heart because of the defeat, and the city tower was angered by Liu Bei's words, and the blood gushed up in one breath was forcibly suppressed, causing serious physical discomfort.

In addition, after returning to Fuzhong, I recalled the high spirits of the past and the embarrassing situation today.

The arrogance is no more, and the decadence is suddenly born.

After emotional ups and downs, Yuan Shao finally couldn't hold on.

This is also the reason why Zheng Ping strongly persuaded Liu Bei to enter the army.

If Yuan Shao is given time to accumulate strength, Yuan Shao feels that there is still a chance, and naturally his heart will not disappear.

And Liu Bei didn't give Yuan Shao time to accumulate strength, which was equivalent to cutting off the possibility of Yuan Shao's comeback, and how could Yuan Shao have the heart without a chance?

"Xi'er, although you are a concubine, your father has never underestimated you."

"I thought that by letting you be a Youzhou assassin for a few more years, you can accumulate some fame and connections, but unfortunately in this world, you have no chance with my Yuan family."

"Are you willing for your father to pass you on to your brother Ji?"

Seeing Yuan Shao ask like this, Yuan Xi couldn't help but be shocked: "Father, why is this?" ”

Yuan Shao sighed lightly: "Liu Bei told his father that if he is willing to surrender for his father, you brothers can all enter the court as officials and succeed the Yuan family." ”

"However, even if Liu Bei is willing to let Er and others enter the court as officials, there are many people who hate their fathers deeply, if you let your brothers succeed to the name of their father, it will be difficult to walk in the future."

"Tan Er and Shang'er are both descendants, and these two sons are arrogant, and they will definitely cause trouble in the future."

"You are a concubine, you are also more kind and kind on weekdays, and you are also low-key, if you pass on to your brother, your identity is not the son of Yuan Shao, but the son of Yuan Ji, the Marquis of Anguo Pavilion and the servant Yuan Ji, who died at the hands of Dong Zhuo!"

"He is also the son of Han Chen, but he is hereditary Marquis of Anguo Pavilion!"

"With this identity, as long as you don't conspire with Tan'er and Shang'er, you can protect the Yuan family forever."

"When you gain Liu Bei's trust one day, you can make a son and heir a father's lineage, and you will die without regrets for your father!"

Yuan Xi knelt on the ground with a thud: "Father, since you want the child to descend, why don't you descend together?" ”

Yuan Shao laughed, and there was a poignant taste in his laughter: "If his father descends, how can Liu Bei be safe?" How can Hebei be determined? What's more, I, Yuan Benchu, am the most outstanding person of the Yuan clan of the fourth and third princes, how can I condescend to Liu Bei? ”

"Xi'er, after your father's death, you will lead the soldiers and civilians of Zhuocheng to sacrifice the city!"

Yuan Xi lowered his head and cried incessantly.

After a pause, Yuan Shao asked again, "Ziyuan and Youruo have ever returned?" ”

Yuan Xi shook his head.

"Ahh

With a long sigh, Yuan Shao waved his hand and asked Yuan Xi to summon Wen Chou and other generals to come and order them one by one.

Outside Zhuocheng.

Liu Bei was silent in the tent.

In all fairness, Liu Bei didn't want to attack Zhuocheng.

Liu Bei is a native of Zhuo County, and this is a native country after all.

If you fight with Yuan Shao in Zhuocheng, I don't know how many innocent Zhuocheng soldiers will die because of this.

Therefore, Liu Bei rejected the strategy of Zhuge Liang and Lu Xun, and also rejected the invitation of Lu Bu and others, and chose to persuade Yuan Shao to surrender.

Liu Bei didn't know if Yuan Shao would descend.

If Yuan Shao didn't surrender, Liu Bei didn't know if he would attack Zhuocheng.

Guan Yu and Zhang Fei also understood Liu Bei's concerns.

The feeling of the countryside does not mean that you can give it up.

"Brother, it's better for you and the third brother to go back to Xudu first, and Zhuocheng will be handed over to Yu." Guan Yu's expression was serious.

Even the dirty thing of killing Liu Xie was done, and Guan Yu didn't mind doing the dirty thing again.

As long as it's for Liu Bei, Guan Yu can do anything!

Whether it's good or evil!

"No, wait!"

Liu Bei held the golden sword in his right hand and closed his eyes and waited.

Time flies, and the sun sets again.

Liu Bei sat quietly in the tent for a day and a night, and his eyes became a little red because he had not slept all night.

When he arrived, Liu Bei finally waited for the news.

I saw Zhang Fei come to the handsome tent with a happy face: "Brother, Yuan Shao has surrendered!" ”

"Yuan Shao?" Liu Bei's eyes narrowed slightly.

Zhang Fei said again: "It was Yuan Shao's son Yuan Xi, who led the civil and military forces of Zhuocheng out of the city to surrender, but strangely, Yuan Shao was not seen. ”

Liu Bei sat up straight: "Let Yuan Xi come to see me!" ”

Not much.

Yuan Xi arrived with a brocade box and knelt down in front of Liu Bei: "The criminal minister Yuan Xi, on the order of his deceased father, led the puppet dynasty to surrender to His Majesty the Han Dynasty!" ”

Dead father?

Zhang Fei was taken aback: "Yuan Shao is dead?" When? ”

Yuan Xi had grief on his face: "Last night, my father killed himself!" There are letters to His Majesty. ”

Liu Bei's face was awe-inspiring, and he asked Zhang Fei to take the letter, and then opened it to take a look.

Long.

Liu Bei sighed: "The dispute between me and the original is just the difference in their political opinions, the Yuan family is not rebellious, and the original mistake is my mind." ”

"Yuan Xi, since you originally asked you to succeed the Marquis of Anguo Ting, then I will allow the original love, and from today on, you will be the new Marquis of Anguo Ting."

"As for the original worries, you don't have to care, whether it is a concubine or a concubine, as long as you want, you can pass it on to the original one."

"As for Yuan Tan and Yuan Shang, as long as the two of them don't make an unforgivable mistake, I won't cut off their heirs."

Yuan Xi was grateful: "Sinner, thank you, Your Majesty!" ”

Yuan Shao's death and Yuan Xi's surrender showed the complete demise of the northern puppet dynasty.

Liu Bei sent Yuan Xi to Liaoxi to recruit Yuan Tan, Yuan Tan saw that the general trend had gone, and Liu Bei's promise, so he also opened the city to surrender, Liu Bei in order to envelop Yuan's generals, named Yuan Tan as the Marquis of Guannei, and gave Yuan Tan the old land of Yuan in Runan.

The high cadres of the state, seeing Yuan Shao's death, the three sons of the Yuan family also surrendered, and they no longer resisted, and in March of the second year of Zhangwu, Xiancheng surrendered.

So far.

The northern Hebei and the southern Qingyan and Xu Yang Yujing were all included in Liu Bei's sphere of influence.

In the second year of Zhangwu, May.

Liu Bei rewarded the meritorious soldiers of the Northern Expedition in Xudu.

At the same time, the general was divided into seven.

Lu Bu is still the general of Jianwei, and Guan Yu is the general of Long Xiang, Zhang Feihuyi is the general, Tai Shici is the general of Zhendong, Zhao Yun is the general of Zhenbei, Sun Jian is the general of Zhenxi, and Huang Zhong is the general of Zhennan.

The rest of the generals, such as Sun Ce, were all rewarded.

In October of the same year.

Liu Bei sent Guan Yu, the general of Longxiang, and Zhang Fei, the general of Huyi, to Luoyang, and the soldiers commanded Guanzhong.

Cao Cao's general Xiahoudun, who remained in Tongguan, fought with Zhang Fei and was captured by Zhang Feisheng.

Cao Cao, who learned the news, was shocked, and hurriedly made peace with Ma Teng and Han Sui, hoping to resist Guan Yu and Zhang Fei together.

Ma Teng Han Sui was also worried that after Cao Cao was destroyed, it would be his turn next, so he lobbied the king of Xiqiang and borrowed 100,000 Qiang soldiers.

Liu Bei saw that the king of Xiqiang actually dared to lend troops to Ma Teng Han Sui, and in anger, he sent Jianwei general Lu Bu and Zhenbei general Zhao Yun, each with 10,000 elite cavalry to help.

Lu Bu and Zhao Yun used Zhou Yu's strategy to break the Xiqiang soldiers on a snowy night, and Zhao Yun beheaded the king of Xiqiang.

When the Xiqiang soldiers saw that the king of Xiqiang was beheaded, and saw that the cavalry of the Han army was more courageous, they retreated in shock.

As soon as the Xiqiang soldiers left, Ma Teng Han directly abandoned Cao Cao, who was still resisting Guan Yu and Zhang Fei in Guanzhong, and retreated to Wuwei County, not daring to advance eastward.

And Cao Cao, who was sold by Ma Teng Han Sui, was sad, and the army, which was already tired from fighting with Ma Teng Han Sui, not only had to face Guan Yu and Zhang Fei, but also Lu Bu and Zhao Yun.

In December, Guan Yu slashed Xiahou Yuan and broke Chang'an City.

Cao Cao retreated to Hanzhong under the escort of the remaining generals.

Zhang Wu 3rd year, February.

Cao Cao killed Zhang Lu in Hanzhong and gave Zhang Lu's head to Liu Zhang, Liu Zhang saw the enemy's head, ignored the civil and military advice, and insisted on Cao Cao as the Taishou of Hanzhong.

Liu Bei, who learned the news, sent Huang Zhong, the general of Zhennan in Jingzhou, and Tai Shici, the general of Zhendong in Yangzhou, to enter Xichuan by water, and ordered Sun Jian, the general of Zhenxi who was reorganizing the army in Yuzhou, to lead his troops into Shangyong, and Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, Zhao Yun, and Lu Bu in Guanzhong, and to discuss Yizhou by three routes.

Zhang Wu four years, March.

Sun Jian broke through Chengdu and captured Liu Zhang.

In July of the same year.

Liu Bei's seven generals besieged Nanzheng, the administrative office of Hanzhong.

Most of Cao's soldiers surrendered, but Cao Cao's clan Cao Ren and other generals died in battle.

Guo Jia was able to kill himself, but Xun Yu was put back in Yingchuan for the sake of Xun You's face.

The fourth year of Zhang Wu, December.

Liu Bei sealed Zen in Mount Tai, engraved the eulogy on the stone tablet, and left the edict and the name of the minister.

Since then, although there is still some chaos in the world, the ambitious forces have basically been eliminated.

The sixth year of Zhang Wu, 201, April.

The prince gave up Zhuge Liang and the crown, and Liu Bei personally gave Zhuge Liang the word Kong Ming.

In the same month, Zheng Ping resigned as prime minister and Zhuge Liang succeeded him as prime minister.

"Xianmou, do you really want to leave?"

Xudu, Imperial Palace.

Liu Bei, who had just turned forty, looked at Zheng Ping with some reluctance.

"Your Majesty, the minister is already over thirty years old, and he can call himself an old man, it's time to hand it over to the young man." Zheng Ping changed into a simple plain clothes and scarf, which looked even more fluttering.

The corners of Liu Bei's mouth twitched: "I call myself an old man at thirty, but I don't feel old when I'm forty!" ”

Zheng Ping sighed lightly: "Although he looks twenty, this heart has passed the age of knowing the destiny of heaven, how can he not be old?" ”

Coupled with more than 20 years in his previous life, Zheng Ping said that he had reached the age of knowing the destiny of heaven, which was not bad.

As a traverser, Zheng Ping does not like war.

However, once he entered the troubled times, he was as deep as the sea, and in the first twenty years, he worked hard to improve his talents and learn to deal with the troubled times; The last eleven years of youth have been helping Liu Bei unify the world, and Zheng Ping has not lived a day for himself.

Even his wife, Kong Su, is also less together and more separated.

After a pause, Zheng Ping said again: "Your Majesty, although the minister has left Xudu, he is still in the land of the Han Dynasty, and it is not that he will not come back to get together, why is he so daughterly?" ”

"If Your Majesty is not at ease, why don't you give the minister a waist card, and the minister will inspect the world for you?"

Liu Bei's eyes lit up, and he ordered someone to take a sword and a jade plate.

"The merit of conspiracy is the head of the new Han Dynasty."

"Since Xianmou ceded the post of prime minister to Kong Ming, I discussed with the ministers to give Xianmou the most unique honorific title."

"I originally wanted to make Xianmou the king, but Gaozu has ancestral training, and it is not the king of the Liu family, if I disobey the ancestral training, it will make Xianmou criticized."

"Kong Ming suggested that Xianmou can be sealed as the Marquis of Xiaoyao, and the new Han Dynasty has been since the first year of Zhang Wu, no matter how many generations it will pass on, the Marquis of Xiaoyao will only enjoy it exclusively!"

Zheng Ping took the jade plate and the sword, and saw that the jade plate was engraved with the three characters of Xiaoyaohou, and the sword also had the three words of Xiaoyaohou, and at the same time, there were the words "Seeing this sword is like seeing me".

"Train the faint king, behead the traitorous minister, this sword, I like it!"

Zheng Ping pinned the jade plate and sword to his waist, and then bowed to Liu Bei and saluted: "Your Majesty, the new Han Dynasty has just been established, and all kinds of waste are waiting to be revived, and the virtuous ministers and good generals in the court are all here, so there is no need to say more." ”

"Ping only gives one sentence: If Qin Shi Huang did not die early, there would be a rebellion of the kings at the end of Qin in the world? Please Your Majesty, don't be too busy with state affairs, only if you are there, the world can be peaceful for a long time! ”

Liu Bei solemnly said: "The words of the conspiracy, I, should be remembered!" ”

Zheng Ping turned around in a dashing manner, and raised his hand back: "Your Majesty, your Xiaoyao Marquis, I have gone to inspect the world for you, so you don't have to worry about it." ”

A burst of laughter rang out in the palace.

Outside the palace.

Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, Zhao Yun, Sun Jian, Huang Zhongtai, Shi Ci, and Lu Bu were seven generals, standing at the foot of the steps.

Although Liu Bei divided the generals into seven, Lu Bu did not feel that there was anything wrong, but was proud of it.

General Jianwei, since Gaozu, the only one in the Han Dynasty!

Seven titled generals, also since Gaozu, Liu Bei has created a precedent.

What Lu Bu cares about is special, and only when he is different from others can he be remembered!

In addition, Lu Bu is old again, and his status is not low, and his daughter was also married to Zongzheng Liu He by Liu Bei, and this descendant can be regarded as the Liu clan, so he has no crooked thoughts.

Seeing Zheng Ping's arrival, the generals also had complicated expressions.

"You seven, why are you all here?" Zheng Ping was in a relaxed mood.

Zhang Fei said with a smile: "You want to travel the world, we are so envious." Therefore, the people gathered to discuss, and if we could go the same way with Xianmou, we would just return to the states. ”

"Although the world has been decided, there are still some disobedient forces in the states, and if there are no seven generals to guard it, I am afraid that there will be a rebellion."

Zheng Ping's face suddenly darkened.

I was originally traveling with my wife and children, so why did I bring a few big light bulbs?

"I heard that the king of the Southern Barbarians, Meng Huo, is extremely hospitable, and Benhou is going to the Southern Barbarians, which of you will go?"

Huang Zhong laughed: "The Marquis of Xiaoyao wants to go to Nanban, then go with the old man, Wuling Mansha Moke has some friendship with Meng Shu, the king of Nanban, and can guide the way." ”

The rest of the generals sighed.

"Ben Hou has to go to Qingzhou first to say goodbye to his father, and marry his wife and children." Zheng Ping made up a reason again.

Zhao Yun's eyes lit up: "Xiaoyao Hou, Yun is just going to Youbeiping, and it is okay to detour to Qingzhou." ”

Huang Zhong was stunned for a moment.

"Alright, stop arguing." Zheng Ping saw that all the generals were waiting, so he said: "Go to Juxian Building, Ben Hou and you drink goodbye, where Ben Hou goes, you still need to follow, then doesn't everyone know Ben Hou's whereabouts?" ”

An hour later.

Zheng Ping drove out of the city, with Zheng Ping's wife Kong Su and Zheng Ping's young son in the car.

"Husband, where are we going next?"

"Go all the way to the east, stay for a while when you find a place you like, and change places when you get bored. Life, it can finally be stopped! ”

Zheng Ping's youngest son suddenly cheered, and Kong Su's eyes narrowed between his teeth.

PS: I won't write the testimonials after finishing this book, so let's talk about this chapter briefly.

In the middle and late stages of the book, it becomes weak, and the starting point of the protagonist in the early stage is too high, which leads to a difficult ending; Either strengthen the enemy's hard water, or wronged the protagonist himself.

After thinking about it, I decided to finish the book quickly.

Actually, it's still unfinished.

Thank you to the more than 600 readers who are currently reading every day, and the more than 200 readers who are still raising books.

In fact, the little author writes quite guilty every day, after all, the more you write, the worse it gets, and you are still chasing it.

Let's not talk about the sensational, this book is not written as expected, I hope the new book can be improved.

recommends the new book "Three Kingdoms: The Governor of Ji and Han, with a Wife Cai Yan", which is already 80,000 words.

At the beginning of Xuzhou, he still assisted Liu Bei.

The protagonist Zheng Mu, who is more of a military general, will not be a hexagonal warrior like this book.

The new book period is still 4,000 words a day, and it explodes on the shelves.

There is a link below.

I wish you all a smooth career and a wide range of financial resources.

(Today, Monday, can those who have a vote vote vote for a new book?) Let me stay on the list for a while. Thanks)

(End of chapter)
