In the summer of the fourth year of the first peace, Yuan Shao led troops to return to the south. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 When the info side reached Julu, a messenger came galloping over, and reported urgently: "Lord, Wei County's soldiers rebelled, colluding with tens of thousands of people such as the Black Mountain thief Yu Poison to destroy my Ye City, and the Taishou has died in battle." ”

When the ministers next to them heard the news, they immediately exploded. What to do? The whole family is in Yecheng, what should I do? A few of the advisors couldn't stand the blow and wept. At this time, a pair of eyes were staring at Yuan Shao, and all the reliance and hope were counting on the lord.

Yuan Shao listened, but his appearance was calm and did not change his normality. Zhao Qi, the servant next to him, saw it, and couldn't help but secretly praise in his heart, he was really very human.

To say that Yuan Shao is not in a hurry, it is false. His wife, concubines, and children are also trapped in Yecheng. But he's been through so much since the Yellow Turban Rebellion. The Luoyang Rebellion was a river of blood. Later, Dong Zhuo killed his uncle's family. I didn't see him blink his eyes. I have seen too many people die, and my heart is naturally as hard as iron. Besides, it's useless to be anxious. It's already like this, it's better to think about how to save people.

Yu Poison, the big thief who followed Zhang Niujiao during the Zhongping period. Later, Zhang Niujiao died, and followed Zhang Yan again. Nominally obeyed Zhang Yan's orders. However, because of the large number of people in its headquarters, it has always been on its own. Last year, he took his headquarters to Kou to plunder Yanzhou, but was beaten away by Cao Cao. The other head didn't get any benefits, so he had to return to the cottage to hibernate temporarily and lick his wounds. Not long after the New Year, the spies outside the mountain came back with news and said that Yuan Shao of Jizhou and Gongsun Zan of Youzhou had pinched up. Yu Yu was overjoyed when he heard this, and Yuan Shao took the elite of Jizhou to the north to fight with Gongsun Zhan, didn't he let him pick up the bargain in the back. So he summoned people and horses, and took advantage of Yuan Shao's air defense weakness, so he stabbed Yuan Shao, bought Wei County, colluded inside and outside, and entered Yecheng.

Yecheng, since Yuan Shao entered Jizhou, he moved Jizhou Prefecture here. Because Jizhou has experienced war, Changshan and Julu are broken, and the people are displaced. Yuan Shao didn't want to spend that effort to rectify it. On the contrary, because Yecheng is close to Si Li, he has not suffered any harm in the previous thieves' rebellions. So Yuan Shao fell in love with this place at a glance.

It is indeed a good place, to the east is Yanzhou, to the west is Bingzhou, to the south is Sili, and to the north, there is enough strategic depth. What's more important is that if you are close to the emperor next to Luoyang, you can respond quickly if there is anything......

Later, Cao Cao also took a fancy to this place, and after Yuan Shao was beaten away, he occupied this place in a grand manner, and later became the place where Cao Wei's foundation took off.

Such a good place, Yuan Shao could never have imagined that it would be broken by the Black Mountain thieves like this. Could it be that the city defense is tofu scum?

Yuan Shao was angry in his heart. Yu Poison is not easy either. He broke Yecheng only to know that the Son of Heaven had sent a servant to make peace, and Yuan Shao and Gongsun Zhan had already discussed the dismissal. Although Yuan Shao hadn't come back yet, he just sent a messenger back to report the news. But the ghost knows if Yuan Shao will suddenly appear outside the city tomorrow? If only I had known the news of Yuan Shao and Gongsun Zhan's conquest of each other. Of course, Yu Poison only thought so. He is a rogue, who occupies the mountains and is the king, and usually hides in the ravines and ravines when he has nothing to do. Information is transmitted, where is it so fast? It's a pity, I was still thinking of looting, but it seems that there is no time. Grab more essentials and valuables, and then withdraw. Yu Poison thought secretly.

When Yu Poison retreated, his subordinate "General Pinghan" Tao Sheng also got the news. This guy used to be a small official in the inner yellow, and then he was forced to become a thief. However, he has also mixed up in the official face of Wei County, and he has his own set of skills. His news came not much later than the poison. Knowing that Yuan Shao and Gongsun Zhan had dismissed the army, Tao Sheng was stupid on the spot. He thinks more thoroughly than Yu Poison. The city was broken, and I don't know how many people escaped. Maybe Yuan Shao will receive the information at this time. Then Yuan Benchu had to die in a hurry, and then he sent cavalry to fight, who could stop it? Tao Sheng still has a very clear understanding of the combat effectiveness of his own troops.

It's over, and there is no future with Yu Poison. Yecheng is where Yuan Shao's foundation is located, and it was broken by a gang of rogues, for the sake of face, Yuan Shao will not be too poisonous. Gotcha, go and vote for Yuan Shao. After all, he was also a Hanchen before, and now he is considered to be recruited. But it's not good to go to see Yuan Shao empty-handed, what if this guy gets angry and cuts himself down? You have to have a vote, and you have to be super weighty!

With a slight turn of his head, Tao Sheng had a way. took the younger brother to Xicheng, and then bombed the other brothers' troops away. There are many Tao Sheng's songs, and people don't dare to say anything. I just thought that Tao Sheng wanted to eat alone. I didn't say anything when I had a grudge in my heart. Hurry up and grab the money and food, and then clean up this husband when you are free.

The result is equivalent to when the poison gets the news and reacts wrong. Tao Sheng, the second and fifth boy, had already carried Yuan Shao and Jizhou Zhuwen and Wujia Xiao, personally guarded them, and ran away in a smoke.

Yu was so angry that he jumped to his feet and scolded, but he couldn't. I know it's going to be bad. So he hurriedly gathered his troops and planned to retreat. It's a pity that a thief is a thief after all, and he grabbed the red eye. There is money and goods in their waists and arms, and some even throw away knives, guns and weapons, holding chickens in both hands and leading sheep. I'm just worried about how to grab more. Where are you willing to listen to poison? When it was time to evacuate, it took a lot of delays.

Tao Sheng escorted the Jizhou family not far out of Yecheng, and before he left Wei County, he met Yuan Shao's vanguard. Tao Sheng let out a cold sweat, and secretly said that he was fortunate to be witty and reacted quickly. Otherwise, it will be miserable. The vanguard galloped all the way over, didn't they just want to rescue their own lord and Zhu Wenwu's family. Now that he saw that everyone had taken it out, he didn't say much, and took Tao Sheng all the way back to see Yuan Shao.

Yuan Shao saw that everyone had been rescued, and he was secretly relieved in his heart. When he saw Tao Sheng, although he didn't look down on this person, he didn't give him any face. Because of his merits, Qian Tao was promoted to Jianyi Zhonglang General. At this time, Tao Sheng's heart was hanging in the air, and it fell down steadily.

Yuan Shao's nest was broken, which was equivalent to a slap in the face. No matter how good he is, he can't bear it. Gongsun Zhan came to bully him, forget it, he is so strong and strong, and he has this ability. But what are you to poison? Dare to come and slap my tiger whiskers?

Yuan Shao summoned all the ministers to discuss, vowing to get rid of the poison and then hurry up. This time, the ministers who gritted their teeth with poisonous hatred unanimously passed without any objections.

Tao Shengjian Yizhonglang's official uniform was not yet hot, and he was summoned by Yuan Shao again. gave him a great task, which was to act as a leading party and lead the Jizhou army to attack Yu Yao's nest.

The servant Zhao Qi ran all the way and arrived in Qingzhou again.

Zhao Qi, the word Suiqing, Jingzhao people. The old man was versatile, and his book "Mencius Chapters and Verses" was handed down to later generations. He is also known as Cai Yong, Zhang Heng, etc., and is respected by later generations as one of the six great painters of the Eastern Han Dynasty. He was loyal to the Han Empire all his life, and he was over eighty years old, and he was still running around for the country as an envoy.

Zhao Qi had previously assassinated the history of the state, and then suffered from the disaster of the party, and was imprisoned for more than ten years. The old man has not been out of Luoyang for many years. I ran all the way to Ji before, and I saw a lot of ruined land, and the people were hungry. I couldn't help but sigh in my heart.

Now enter the realm of Qingzhou. You can see that the scenery here is different. Along the way, everywhere I went, the county order, the messenger of the Son of Heaven arrived, and they all went out of the city to greet each other. And when the people saw it, they were filled with joy, and they bowed to the chariot and said, "Today is the return of the messenger's chariot." "I secretly rejoice in my heart, and people here still think of the Han family.

I also saw the counties and counties of Qingzhou, where the people lived and worked in peace and contentment, and the faces of all the people were no longer confused and confused. Nai sighed: "Liu Xuande, the good minister of the real Han." ”

The car drove to Linzi, and Liu Bei led all the civil and military forces out of the city to meet him.

Zhao Qi was perfunctory and neglected by Yuan Shao in Jizhou. Seeing Liu Bei like this, he was a little flattered. It doesn't have to be like that.

Liu Bei didn't think anything was there. After all, they are envoys of the Son of Heaven, and they can't lose anything in their etiquette, and besides, they are all over eighty, and their beards are all white, and they are almost able to be their grandfathers. It's always a good idea to be polite yourself. Respecting the old and loving the young, in China for 5,000 years, there will be no mistake in this principle.

So he smiled and said to Zhao Qi: "The elder is here, he is the envoy of the Son of Heaven, how dare the kid slack off." Please also ask the elders to come with me into the city. ”

At night, Zhao Qi, who washed away the dust, enjoyed extremely noble treatment. Liu Bei personally set up a banquet in the pastoral mansion, and not to mention the attendance of all the civil and military forces under his command, the king of Qi also came. Cai Yong, Zheng Xuan, Lu Zhi and a group of old men also arrived.

Not to mention, Zhao Qi was really grateful to Liu Bei for his thoughtfulness. He also knew that he was too old, and his experience was completely different from that of Liu Bei and others, and he had no common language. So as soon as Cai Yong and the others came, Zhao Qi was excited. They are all a group of old men, and they have been ministers in the same palace and have experienced many things together. There are also things to say together.

As soon as the old men spoke, Liu Bei and the others couldn't interject next to them. There are a lot of things they don't know, so they may not have been born yet. So I could only pour wine for the old people and listen to the stories at the same time.

On this night, both the guests and the host returned with great joy.

Early the next morning, Zhao Qi, who was on a mission, asked to see Liu Bei outside. Liu Bei thought to himself, the old man's body is really strong. Of course, it is strong, and people can live to be in their nineties.

Zhao Qi saw Liu Bei, and he didn't say much, so he said: "Liu Yuanjun, I came this time, first, to reconcile the Kanto region. The second is to ask for help. Luoyang has experienced repeated disasters, and many people have been scattered. It was in tatters. Now there are constant wars everywhere, and local tributes have been cut off. The imperial court was already unsustainable. Please also make you, please also make your ......"

Zhao Qi said and couldn't help but feel sad. He has experienced An, Shun, Chong, Quality, Huan, and Lingshu Emperors in his life, and he is an out-and-out Han veteran. Although the Han Dynasty began to decline during the reign of Emperor An of the Han Dynasty, the afterglow of Yongyuan still exists, right? That era was really the best era of the Han Empire. Zhao Qi can also be regarded as seeing the tail of the most prosperous period of the Han Empire. But who would have thought that now, a good Han Empire, after the first emperor left, would fall apart like this? The Son of Heaven had a miserable life, and he had to send himself as an envoy to the local princes to ask for help. Where is the face of the world!

Zhao Qi didn't shed tears in Yuan Shao, and after leaving Luoyang, he didn't shed tears when he saw the place withering. I don't know why, when I arrived in Qingzhou and saw Liu Bei, I suddenly became emotional.

Maybe it's the prosperity of Qingzhou, which reminds him of the appearance of the Han Empire when he was young?
