Volume 1 Chapter 291 The Gods Open
The gloomy mist, the dim and vast earth, the wind howled, and the dark shadows of the swarthy woods in the distance carried an ominous aura, and a heroic spirit fell, struggling with his eyes closed, dancing with his halberd, fighting the enemy.
"Fellow Daoists, please stay. A voice came from the fog.
Lu Bu opened his tiger eyes: "Big-eared thief, give me back my life-"
"What's the trouble with this?" The leopard rider reappeared, sighed, and waved his hand, this heroic spirit was very resistant, but in the end he was invincible, and put it in his sleeve: "Senior sister passed down the heavenly machine, and opened the god in the near future, and asked me to collect the heroic soul on the list, and you will be the first person......"
Looking back at Luoyang City, a fairy peach jasper pavilion, a small green light cocoon is bred in the heart of the tree, and the huge root system spreads, forming a golden net to cover the netherworld, straighten out the strange qi, ignite the spiritual veins, and absorb nutrients
As if feeling watching, a burst of blue light continued into a patch, blurring the vision, and the Taoist hurriedly avoided it.
"This treasure is terrifying, it was planted four years ago, and it became the core of this world, and even I can't get close to it at present, and it is definitely not something that an immortal of the same level can ......do."
"Such a Heavenly Court method...... Can the saint live in it?"
A faint voice came: "There may be ideas among them, and the Tongtian Sect Master is very suspicious...... It is said that it is difficult to stand independent, how can it go against the sky? I suspect that it has compromised with the Upper Realm...... What is your Master's attitude now?
The Taoist was taken aback, frowning and thinking: "Master is refining a strange treasure, called the Fengshen List, in order to cut off the clan lineage and lead the heroic soul to the list, I will do what I am told, there will be no mistake, does the senior sister have other ideas?"
"I am the host of the innate colored stone, I responded to the great luck, conceived the saint at this time, the body and the lower earth and the heavenly way are combined, and I will directly restore the immortal grid, but I am responsible for the great luck of overthrowing this dynasty...... But to be honest, this kind of green peach tree, I have a kind of palpitation......"
Caiwu turned into a beauty, holding a multicolored stone, covering the whole body, revealing only a pair of beautiful eyes: "Involving the leylines of the earth, involving a hair and moving the whole body, this peach tree has a domain forbidden, restricting the shot of more than a real person, unless the design makes people burn, it is difficult to move an inch." ”
The Taoist said to her, "How can you not destroy it?"
"She refuses, I really can't suppress her......" Beauty smiled bitterly, although this saint herself is only a demon fairy with heaven and earth, but she has a very deep relationship with the human race in this world.
The Taoist frowned: "Two souls with the natives, the fusion period is not over yet?"
"Don't worry, it's going to be over...... beauty's eyes were slightly in a trance, but she didn't know who would win and who would lose after the most difficult road.
She suddenly laughed: "Senior brother, it's been so many years, don't you say something?"
"Huh?"
"If you don't say anything more, I'm afraid it's too late......" She lowered her eyes and waited calmly for a while, but did not make a sound.
The Taoist stared at her, and was about to say something, when his heart palpitated.
I saw that the mist on the lower half of her body dispersed, and it was blue from her waist and abdomen, revealing a round and upright snake body.
"Nuwa" Daoist was empty, and instantly felt that something was happening, and asked urgently: "What about the senior sister."
Nuwa stared at him, her eyes were cold and hot, she sighed slightly, she didn't make a move, and with a flick of the cyan snake's tail, the whole person disappeared into the void.
Luoyang
The North Palace, the Deyang Palace, the main hall of the Han Emperor's residence, is magnificent and continuous, and the glorious lights of the past are a little depressed at this time.
Empress Dowager He was dressed in a luan suit, put down the secret letter, and her face was a little trance: "Liu Bei really killed a thousand Xiliang soldiers overnight?"
"Queen Mother, many people have seen it. The next maid responded.
"You also killed Dong Zhuo's son Lu Bu?" Empress Dowager He stared at her.
The maid hesitated: "...... I heard that it was. ”
Empress Dowager He sighed slightly, this is a palace maid who has not seen much, far less than the ten permanent attendants, since returning to the palace that night, the north and south palaces are so strange that they don't know each other.
The palace was burned down a lot, and most of the old people were not there, because Yuan Shaolai was not in a hurry to distinguish whether it was a eunuch or not, and ordered the soldiers to kill all the men with white faces and beards, and the palace maids were ruined by the chaotic soldiers, and even a few concubines of the first emperor were ...... when they fled in panic
If it weren't for the arrival of the great Confucian Lu Zhi Ge and the rescue of her from the elevated corridor between the north and south palaces, she would have been robbed by the eunuchs when she fled north.
"Yuan Shao is a traitor, dare to disturb the palace" She gritted her silver teeth, thought about it, and couldn't help but hate: "This Dong Zhuo is also a big rebel, and he wants to do something to abolish the establishment"
"The queen mother is cautious, cautious ......" The young emperor's face turned pale when he heard it in the back, and he whispered for a long time: "Actually, it's ...... for my younger brother to do it."
Empress Dowager He was taken aback, her phoenix eyebrows raised slightly, and she held her mouth: "Don't talk nonsense, what do you know, this traitor is better to control your younger brother when he is young, my son must not be discouraged, you are the hope of your mother, the hope of the Han people......
The young emperor nodded, being the prince of the Han family is really risky, and he has understood the routines of the ministers since he was a child.
Empress Dowager He didn't say more, summoned a few surviving eunuchs, and began to write a decree.
A deep sense of crisis lingered in his heart, if he waited for Dong Zhuo to do this abolished thing, he could still keep her, the queen mother, I am afraid that it will be a Bai Ling, a glass of poisonous wine, such a thing, there are few in the Han Palace?
"It's hateful that no one in the three princes and nine kings can be relied on, they are all waste......" used the jade seal, and asked: "Which of you has seen Liu Bei?"
These eunuchs were originally Xiaohuangmen, and after they were ranked in the palace to one hundred, the big eunuchs in front of them were all dead, and they were promoted.
Empress Dowager He is a smart woman, she knew the situation at a glance, frowned secretly, and cursed Yuan Shao and even her dead brother, she wholeheartedly helped her beloved son to the throne, and then found that she borrowed too much, and these relatives were already the emperor's enemies.
"Forget it, Xianjun is right, only the Liu family is reliable at this time...... According to this order, Liu Bei, the commander of the cavalry, was relocated to the general of Yulin Zhonglang, with a rank of 2,000 stones, and 3,000 people in charge of the forbidden army of the North Palace, and ordered to return to Luoyang immediately."
The Queen Mother said calmly: "Liu Biao, the middle marquis of the Northern Army, supervised the five battalions of the Northern Army for poor performance, and relocated the captain of the shooting voice, and the county captain Zhang Liaoqian was the captain of the infantry......"
The young emperor listened quietly, the five battalions of Tun cavalry, Yue cavalry, infantry, Changshui, and shooting sound were composed of the northern army, which were divided into eight passes around Luoyang, including Hangu, Guangcheng, Yique, Dagu, Yuan, Xuanmen, Xiaopingjin, and Mengjin.
Because the Changshui battalion annexed the former Han Hu cavalry battalion, up to 1,500, plus the retention of 700 people in the tun cavalry battalion, these two large cavalry battalions mostly use Hu cavalry, the former Southern Xiongnu docile and do not have to worry, and the Han Dynasty drove away the Northern Xiongnu, Le Shi Yanran Mountain, several regard themselves as the people of the Han Dynasty, but now to serve Dong Zhuo, it is dangerous to be contaminated with Qiang wind.
The Yue cavalry battalion has 700 Han family sons, and it is said that the generals are infiltrated and controlled by Dong Zhuo, and only the infantry and archers recruited from Sanfu are the infantry and archers who have fought bloody battles with the Qiang people for many years, and the hatred is as deep as the sea, and they are relatively loyal...... It's a pity that the number of people is too small, the two battalions are 700 people each, adding up to 1,400 people, which is not enough to match the soldiers of the first battalion of Changshui, and the sequelae of the Han family's heavy cavalry will be revealed at this time.
The young emperor inherited the emperor tradition since Emperor Liu Xiu, Guangwu Emperor, long literature, good at poetry, and gentle personality, so he was not regarded as the best heir by his father, but he was not stupid, and he understood that it was the light and the dark up, so that there were arrangements in and out of the city, and the mother took great pains to protect this family.
There was always a sense of uneasiness in my heart, remembering Liu Bei's words when he said goodbye, and said: "Queen Mother, I have seen Liu Bei."
"Huh?" Empress Dowager He looked back at her son.
He said goodbye that day, and said solemnly, he said......" The young emperor cringed a little in his mother's expectant gaze, but still tried to recall: "I bow to thank Your Majesty for your Majesty's grace, and since you have retired, I hope that Your Majesty will cherish it...... If there is something, you can summon the ministers, and there is nothing you should do. ”
Empress Dowager He listened in a daze, and a flash of inspiration flashed, and she fixed her mind: "Take the map." ”
"What?" asked the eunuch.
"Jingshi, Sanfu, Hongnong County......" she said intently, all of them were close to Si Lizuo, and after thinking about it, this area was not out of the Tiger Prison, and was directly suppressed by Dong Zhuo, but she was afraid that it would be destroyed for a while, and there was no effect of reinforcement, so she added: "Sanhe, that is, Hedong County, Hanoi County, Henan County, as well as Yingchuan County, Chaoge County, and Chen Liuguo."
"Isn't Chen Liu's feudal rule for his younger brother?" the young emperor laughed, Chen stayed in his father when he changed from a county to a country, and now his younger brother Liu Xie is the king of Chen Liu.
"Chen Liuguo's map doesn't need to be taken. Empress Dowager He put on a straight face, flashed her nominal son, a burst of disgust, and looked back at the lesson: "The emperor should not be frivolous, it is too much for people to look down on." ”
Seeing that her son was submissive, she sighed secretly, thought about it, and asked the eunuch again: "Dongjun...... The mourning family remembers Cao Cao, the captain of the military academy, who was the Taishou of Dongjun?"
"Queen Mother, indeed. ”
"Dongjun is still too far away, forget it, it's so close, find me a complete map of the Han family......" The eunuchs were busy, and the Empress Dowager He was slightly relieved to see it.
Although Dong Zhuo absorbed most of the Northern Army, his power expanded rapidly, his cavalry advantage was great, and the Southern Army divided by scholars and heroes was carried, and there were 3,000 guards of the Han Palace...... With the jade seal in hand, she is still a woman in this Han Palace.
"Queen Mother, this is the map. The eunuch spread out the small pictures on several cases and hung the whole picture of the Han family on the wall.
She took the lamp and wandered under the wall, looked at the unfolded map for a long time, rubbed her sore eyes, and pointed to a place on the wall: "Let's change Liu Bei here." ”
The green onion and white jade fingers fall, and the three characters of Yingchuan County are significant, and in the light of the yellow light of the lamp and candle, it extends downward, and it is Nanyang County, Jiangxia County, Xiangyang County, and Changsha County...... The western part of Yuzhou and the whole territory of Jingzhou are shown in front of them, the vast Jianghan Plain, the first line of China's penetration into the south, and the land opened up by the ancestors of Zheng and Chu in the Spring and Autumn Period in the past, and has successively achieved hegemony.
The eunuch held the decree in his hand, stood in the light and shadow, looked at it clearly with his feet, and asked confirmatively: "Yingchuan County."
"It's Yingchuan. Empress Dowager He was a little tired and said, in fact, there are two places outside the Tiger Prison Pass, and Chen Liuguo can choose from, but if Liu Bei is the minister of state, if he runs for a long time, he will have a higher level of contact with Chen Liuwang, which is unlucky...... It's a different story with the county.
"Is it a transfer?"
Empress Dowager He stared at it: "When it is too shou, the rank is two thousand stones, and the mourning family now doesn't even have this power?" Or is it to demote this loyal minister who rose up to resist violence to six hundred stone counties?"
"This ......" the eunuch sweated, secretly thinking that this is there, and it is not a derogatory.
Since the Han Dynasty and Emperor below, the eunuchs in the palace have undergone political training丨 Since the knowledge of Dao Guangwu, only 2,000 stone captains have been set up in the border counties to specialize in military affairs, and there are no captains in the inland counties.
But according to the rules, how to do it without asking clearly?
Zhang let these loyal emperors all throw themselves into the river, and if his own pawns were not cautious to protect themselves, who knew that one day they would be sacrificed for some reasons......
The reason is this, a woman is unreasonable when she starts a temper, and when she sees that this eunuch is cautious, she is angry: "When you were domineering one by one, even the general dared to harm you, but now you ......look like this."
After tossing for a while, the young emperor finally reminded him that if he didn't send someone to catch up with Liu Bei, he was afraid that he wouldn't be able to catch up, so he let the Empress Dowager He pass on this decree.
