Chapter 373: Yuan Liu's War (3)

When Jia Xu arrived at the place, he saw that the Son of Heaven and all the officials were there. It was immediately clear what was going on. Seeing that Jia Xu had arrived, Zhong Xuan, who had the permission of the Son of Heaven, asked, "Doctor Jia, Your Majesty and the hundred officials all want to go east." However, the road is far away. Is there a way for Dr. Jia? The implication of Zhong Xuan's words is obvious, everyone agrees with your suggestion to return to the east, but expresses distrust in the route you proposed.

Jia Xu's mind turned, so he said: "Zhong Shilang, if you want to go to Qingzhou, the nearest way is to cross the river, enter Hanoi, pass through Yanzhou, and go down the river, then you can reach Qingzhou." However, Hanoi was owned by Yuan Shao, who stationed heavy troops in Binh Yin, Ha Duong and other places. And I don't know how much water is used to Liangzhou Jiashi. I'm afraid this road won't work. "Let's start with it, it's not that I don't want to take a shortcut, I really don't have a choice.

The Son of Heaven and Zhu Qing listened and were silent for a while. A minister had already died in front of Hangu Pass, which shows Yuan Shao's bad attitude. Going down the river, you can't help but shore for supplies, and when you enter Yuan Shao's territory, the ghost knows what Yuan Shao will do. People can't do things for swords, but I can't do things for fish and meat.

However, a straight road is not taken in front of you, but you want to go north and merge with the state, and take a "several" shaped route to come out, and everyone is unwilling. A long journey means a long time, and a long time means a lot of risk. This state is also Yuan Shao's territory, and he is full of malice towards himself. This time, the road is destined to be unpeaceful. Can you reach Qingzhou safely?

The ministers exchanged heads and talked about each other. Zhong Xuan said to the Son of Heaven: "Your Majesty, the road is difficult, why don't you send someone to Qingzhou and ask Liu Yuanjun to see what he thinks?" ”

Only then did the Son of Heaven and the ministers react, and they had a heated discussion on their side, but they forgot to inform Liu Bei. In the subconscious of the Son of Heaven and the ministers, they still feel that they are the masters of the world and the representatives of the imperial court. Traveling thousands of miles to Qingzhou is not to be a guest, the entire imperial court has been relocated to Qingzhou, and Liu Bei, a foreign town, should feel a great honor. Of course, Liu Bei has countless capable people, and after getting in touch with Liu Bei, maybe Liu Bei can give a different opinion. Then you won't have to walk that far.

So the Son of Heaven said: "Zhun Qing played!" ”

Jia Xu glanced at Zhong Xuan, and he was afraid that he would not be able to do it if he didn't say anything clearly. So he bowed and said: "Your Majesty, when the minister had the intention of returning to the east, he sent people to two places, Bingzhou and Qingzhou. There is no news from Qingzhou yet, but there is news from Bingzhou. ”

Seeing that the Son of Heaven and the ministers all pricked up their ears to listen, Jia Xu paused, and then said: "Wenhou and Fenwu General Lu Bu are in Tuntian, Bingzhou Valley, and when they heard that the Son of Heaven was coming to Hedong, they also wanted to lead the army to help. The minister thought that with the help of Marquis Wen and the Marquis of Yanxiang, and General Zhang to protect the left and right, no matter how far the road was, he could also ensure that His Majesty was worry-free! ”

When all the people in the temple heard this, their hearts were filled with joy. The Son of Heaven also remembered the scene when Lu Bu came to offer Dong Zhuo's head with a bloody and murderous face in Weiyang Palace. At that time, it was Situ Wang Yun and others who united with Lu Bu inside and outside to kill Dong Zhuo in one fell swoop. He also opened his golden mouth on the spot, and personally named Lu Bu as the Marquis of Wen, with 3,000 households; Worship General Fenwu, Fake Festival, and Yitong Three Divisions!

It's a pity that later, the generals of Liangzhou counterattacked Chang'an, Wang Situ and other ministers stained Chang'an with blood, and Lu Bu was unable to support it alone and fled from Chang'an. I haven't seen him for many years, and I didn't think much about him, so he hid in Bingzhou. Lu Bu is a general who is personally appointed by himself, and Duan Xuan has always been on the side of the imperial court back then. With these two armies guarding the arch, he can no longer worry about Bai Bojun and Zhang Xiu. Not only the Son of Heaven thinks so, but the officials also think so.

Except for Yang Feng, who surrendered to the imperial court early, the other departments of the Baibo Army have always been entrenched in Hedong, robbing homes and houses, killing officials and plundering the people, and have always been lawless. And Zhang Xiu and Jia Xu also have criminal records. One is the culprit who moved Liangzhou to counterattack Chang'an, and the other is Zhang Ji's nephew who attacked Chang'an that year. How can the Son of Heaven and the hundred officials not guard against it?

If it weren't for Jia Xu's later maneuvering between the court and the generals, he said a lot of good things for the court officials, and saved many people under the knife. I'm afraid no one will listen to him this time.

After Jia Xu finished speaking, he glanced at Zhong Xuan, and said in his heart Fortunately, I had already made arrangements, otherwise all the plans would have to be messed up by Zhong Yuanchang. The Son of Heaven discussed with the ministers for a while, so they unanimously decided that as long as the messenger sent by Jia Xu came back from Qingzhou, he began to prepare to set off and go north to Bingzhou to join Lu Bu. Then march towards Qingzhou together.

However, he said that Liu Bei was in Qingzhou, and he was dispatching troops and preparing to join forces with Youzhou to give Yuan Shao a big one. Suddenly, on this day, there was an urgent report, and the scout caught a person at the border, saying that he was a messenger from Liangzhou, and he did not dare to slack off, so he was sent to Linyong in a hurry.

Liu Bei heard that it was the envoy of Liangzhou, so he ordered someone to pass it on quickly. Liangzhou has been isolated from Kanto for a long time, although Guan Hai is running around for his activities, but the news brought by this kind of dark activity is incomplete, and the timeliness is seriously lagging behind. Since there is someone from Liangzhou, and no matter how he came over, let's see each other first and understand everything in Guanzhong.

After a while, people from Liangzhou entered Liu Bei's mansion, and saw that the helmet in the hall was shaking, the armor was clear, the civil and military were lined up left and right, and one person sat at the top of the main hall in the middle of the hall, not angry and self-assured, it was Liu Bei, the lord of Naqing and Xu Erzhou. So he bowed and said, "Villain Hu Yue, meet Liu Yuanjun!" ”

Liu Bei ordered him to get up, and after giving him a seat, he said, "Who did your envoy come on?" ”

Hu Yue said: "The general of my family, General Jianzhong, and Xuanwei Hou are also. This time, I was ordered by my general and military advisor Jia Gong to come to Qingzhou to visit. ”

Liu Bei was stunned in his heart, not long after he got the news, he said that Zhang Xiu and Jia Xu first surrendered and rebelled, and after a big battle with Cao Cao, they withdrew to Nanyang, why did they send people to me.

So he asked him carefully. Only then did I know that after Zhang Xiu and Jia Xu retreated to Guanzhong, it happened that the generals were fighting, and after helping Duan Xuan defeat Guo Yan, they actually ran to Hedong. At this time, the Son of Heaven and Zhu Qing were in Hedong Anyi.

The messenger took out the letter and attended to present it: "What the general and the military advisor of our family said are all in the letter, and I also ask the prince to look at it." Behind Liu Bei, the guards came out to get the letter and put it in front of Liu's record.

Liu Bei took the letter, and when he saw it, he was amazed in his heart. Then he said: "I know what is in the letter, and you should retire and rest, and if you have a decision, someone will inform you." ”

After the envoy retreated, Liu Bei went back to the study and sent someone to invite Xun Yu to come. After a while, Xun Yu came. Liu Bei gave the letter to Xun Yu. Xun Yu took a look at it and knew that the Son of Heaven in Chang'an was running east and wanted to go to Luoyang to unify the sea, but was rejected by Yuan Shao, and then had to be stationed in Hedong.

After Jia Xu arrived in Guanzhong, he wanted to return to Qingzhou, and then saw that the Son of Heaven was in Hedong, so he wanted to return to the east with the Son of Heaven.

After reading it, Xun Yu sighed: "It is worthy of Jia Wenhe, who is full of wisdom." ”

Liu Bei looked at Xun Yu and said, "Wenhe, what do you think of Jia Xu's plan?" Liu Bei originally just wanted to pull Liu Yu to beat Yuan Shao, who would have thought that Jia Xu would want to do something again. For Zhang Xiu and Jia Xu to defect to Qingzhou, Liu Bei welcomed them very much. But Jia Xu still wanted to bring the Son of Chang'an with hundreds of officials, and Liu Bei was under great pressure. The key is that Jia Xu not only wanted to bring the Son of Heaven and the Manchu Dynasty with him, he also wanted to join forces with Liu Bei and annex Yuan Shao's annexation in one fell swoop. This heart is really big enough.
