Chapter Seventy-Nine: The Sixth Year of Zhongping

The six-year footsteps of Zhongping have opened a new chapter in the chaos of the world. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

This year's situation is not better than last year, the emperor Liu Hong of the Jiade Hall of the Luoyang Palace will no longer hold a court meeting after the Shangyuan Festival, and even the favorite West Mansion Wanjinyuan will not go, and even the palace attendants are difficult to see the emperor's face, except for the military academy captain Jian Shuo, the emperor does not declare anyone.

Zhang Changshi's adopted son, the imperial doctor, ordered Zhang Feng to spread a shocking news about Luoyang City during the banquet where he drank too much wine, and the emperor was seriously ill and was afraid that a landslide was imminent...... This made the ministers of the DPRK and China arouse bad associations, last year there was a good hope in Beijing said that the sky is like blood every day, it is the sixth year of Zhongping to raise soldiers, the two palaces shed blood conscription.

Because the struggle for power between the general He Jin and the captain of the military academy Jian Shuo has reached the most critical moment.

Before the emperor was seriously ill, he personally paid homage to Dong Zhuo, the marquis of Qianhu Township, as the state pastor, which was the fourth state pastor in the world and the second state pastor with a different surname, with a high position. Dong Zhuo received the appointment, but did not hand over the military power, led 5,000 soldiers and horses to advance to Bingzhou, and even walked to Hedong County and stopped moving forward, waiting to see the situation in Luoyang.

The imperial city is like a dilapidated house with wind on all sides, and all the news is spread to the world with the stagecoach, and people's hearts are floating.

The war in the northwest continues, and the situation in the northeast is changing rapidly, not to mention that the rebel general Yanbei commander soldiers and horses seemed to evaporate from the world last year, leaving only a dozen cities in Jizhou that have never been ruled by rebels.

First of all, Gongsun Zhan led 3,000 horsemen to pursue Zhang Ju and Zhang Chun, killing more than 100,000 Wuhuan soldiers who lost their armor and ran all the way east. Rushed all the way to Guanzi City in western Liaoning. However, the sky did not bless Gongsun Zhan, a heavy snow fell in the night, and the three thousand horsemen could not maintain their mobility in the muddy snow road, but were seized by Qiu Liju, the Wuhuan lord who fled all the way, and the 20,000 Wuhuan army looked back and besieged.

The road was blocked, the army driven by the imperial court Zhonglang could not come to help, the cavalry was trapped in Guanzi City, and 20,000 soldiers and horses roamed outside the city all day long...... Several charges, the snow and the road were slippery, and the war horses could not stand firm, not to mention breaking out of the encirclement, they could only be forced back into the city again and again.

The arrows are gone.

For Qiu Liju, success is also winter snow, and defeat is also winter snow. On weekdays, 20,000 Wuhuan troops climbed the city wall as if they were walking on the ground, but now the temperature plummeted, Gongsun Zhan made the soldiers and officials fall into the water at the head of the city, and the city was slippery overnight and could not climb, and even the ladder could not be built on the city, so they could only watch the defenders show off their might all day long in the city but did not dare to attack.

Several men who will affect the situation in Youzhou for more than ten years in the future, as if they have discussed it this winter, have been frozen by the heavy snow in Zhongping's five to six years, and no one can grasp the opportunity.

But at this time, a man who can influence the situation in the world in the future took his three brothers all the way north, stepping on the snow that reached his calves, just like Yanbei following in the footsteps of Zhang Chun, tracing the traces of Gongsun Zhan's eastward advance.

His name is Liu Bei, and his name is Xuande. Born in Lou Sangli, when he was young, he pointed to the big mulberry tree ignorantly, superficially, and naively and said that when he grew up, he would definitely ride on such a gorgeous car cover. Later, when he grew up, coinciding with the Yellow Turban Rebellion, Liu Bei gathered hundreds of evil teenagers in the township, all the way from white to bloody, and after several lives and deaths, he was appointed as the county lieutenant of Anxi after the war. The greedy superintendent asked him for a bribe, and the Youzhou Erlang who was killed in the shadow of the sword and sword disdained this, tied him up and smoked it, and abandoned the official and left.

If Yanbei knew that there was another person named Liu Bei in this world, he would definitely be a confidant, because this man was worse than him. lost his official position and met Wuqiu Thrifty to recruit soldiers, and he had meritorious service in fighting thieves in Xiapi, and was accepted by Xia Mi County. When Zhang Ju and Zhang Chun made a rebellion, Liu Ziping, a native of the plains, recommended Liu Bei to the Qingzhou Assassin History, and Liu Shou was ordered to lead his troops to attack Yanbei, which was killing in Jizhou...... Unconsciously, Liu Bei and Wang Dang's troops met in a short and narrow way, and finally were stabbed several times on the battlefield and passed out.

After the injury was healed, Liu Bei became a high Tang lieutenant, and in the blink of an eye, Qingzhou was in chaos again, and the rest of the yellow scarves were everywhere. Gao Tang Ling died in the chaos, and Liu Bei took over before he could sit hot, and Gao Tang County was broken by the old Yellow Turbans.

He was twenty-eight years old and could not go down without anything. The dreams of his youth are now very stupid, and reality has long since smoothed out all his dreams. He once thought that the world was his, and as long as he dared to do it, everything would get a good result. But now he finally found out that the world is someone else's, and he can't do what he wants to do.

Even his dignified seven-foot man can only rely on the snort of others to live uprightly in this world.

He had carried the sharpest steel sword, and he had the strongest horse...... He had seen Gongsun Zhan, who was born in a big family, talking loudly among his fellow students, which seemed to be something he would never reach, and he failed to learn Gongsun Zhan's bearing, but since then he has fallen in love with Chinese clothes and dogs and horses.

In those midnight dreams when no one was around, he even forgot who he was. Only with the contemptuous eyes of the real dignitaries and nobles, Liu Bei can suddenly remember that he seems to be an inferior person who can only weave mats and sell shoes!

This is impossible, Liu Xuande no longer thinks about the absurd dream of the canopy, but he still doesn't want to be just an inferior person. When he saw so much, he couldn't accept that he could only be an inferior person!

Now Liu Bei is accustomed to being displaced, he traveled through Qingzhou of life and death, walked through the chaotic Jizhou, and arrived in Youzhou in the snowstorm. He wants to defect to his senior brother Gongsun Bogui, who makes him envious, and he has no choice but to put down his face and beg Gongsun Zhan, his junior brother in his youth, to give him a way out.

The ancestors of the Liu family are on top, and Liu Xuande ...... I also want the tiger generals to hold knives on the left and right, play the guard of honor before and after, carry the flag behind the crowd, raise the placket high, and talk and laugh with everyone!

……

"Brother, I just heard that General Gongsun was defeated and besieged in Guanzi City by Lord Wuhuan Qiu Liju...... The road is hard, shall we? The young man with the elbow snake spear led the horse and galloped, and if it were not for his brute strength, he would not be able to drag the horse through the snow, "Otherwise, let's go, General Gongsun can't count on it here." ”

"Can't go!" Liu Bei's face was expressionless, his palm tightly clasped the heavy sword hanging from his waist, looked at the white expanse in front of him, and said in a deep voice: "If we retire at this time, in the future, I will wait for my brothers, and I will only be a subordinate!" ”

He has no other way but to fight for this rotten life. If it is done, it can be well-known in Youzhou; If it doesn't work, it will be defeated and die.

"How far is Guanzi City from here?" The tall young man holding a long knife had a calm voice, his face was flushed with the indelible red, and his jaw was close to a foot, if it wasn't for the clothes and armor of an ordinary soldier, it was like a god, "Now that the winter snow is blocking the road, the Wuhuan people will not surround the Guanzi City so tightly, maybe we can touch the city." ”

Liu Bei glanced at the tall young man with some surprise, and said secretly in his heart, Yun Chang is right!

"Desperate again?" The young man curled up in a thick winter coat squatted on the ground, raised his head with his hands together and said, "I, Jian Yong, don't have as much ability as you, anyway, I will go where Xuande goes, you two remember to protect me!" ”

"Humph!" Zhang Fei snorted, pulled Jian Yong up, slapped a pair of rough palms together after years of martial arts, and said with an iron spear: "There is a certain Zhang Yide, whoever wants to take your life, ask him to ask me about this iron spear first!" ”

Guan Yu didn't speak, just tightened the reins on the horse's halter and wiped the long knife in his palm.

"In that case, Guanzi City, you and my brother will break in!" Except for not being able to get ahead, Liu Bei is not afraid of anything! As long as there are these brothers' henchmen by his side, he is not afraid of anything!

Jian Yong's unrelenting appearance diluted the worries of the three of them about the northbound road a little. In just a moment, the road to the north, which involves life and death, was set by Liu Bei.

A group of four people, leading horses and stepping on the snow, went straight to Guanzi City, which was besieged by tens of thousands of Wuhuan people.

Guan Yu is right, even if the Wuhuan people besiege the city, no one will be stupid enough to encircle the company camp in the ice and snow to enclose the water in the city, but only set up a large camp in the south and north of the city, as for the east and west of the city, there are only a few Wuhuan riding and roaming, monitoring the city from afar.

Unless there were ten times as many defenders, no one would be able to encircle the camps. Everyone understands the principle that the division of troops is weak. If the four gates are divided, the four battalions will be no more than 3,000 people, and if Gongsun Zhan really kills them, they may not be able to support in time.

Liu Bei and the four of them touched the city of Guanzi under the noses of 20,000 Wuhuan people, shouted for the defenders outside the east gate, and sent a message to Gongsun Zhan.

Even though Guanzi City was besieged for a whole winter, Gongsun Zhan still looked proud in Liu Bei's eyes, holding the battlements and looking down for a while, before finally remembering the Youzhou fellow who always followed him when he studied under Lu Zhi, the Taishou of Jiujiang.

"Are you...... Brother Xuandexian? ”

Liu Bei's worrying situation did not appear in the end, and Gongsun Zhan still remembered who he was! The slings were lowered from the city, and the four of them dragged the ropes up the city, allowing the horses that had lost their owners to drag down the city, making a sigh.

The difficult road to the north of the group of four finally came to an end, and they entered Guanzi City to discuss with Gongsun Zhan, and finally decided that Liu Bei would be the Sima of Gongsun Zhan's subordinates.

Although this position is neither light nor heavy, although it is stronger than the county lieutenant, it will eventually fall under others, not to mention that there is still a great enemy on the side.

Yanbei, who spent the whole winter outside the Saiwai, still didn't know, although the joining of the four people was more like a charity in Gongsun Zhan's eyes, but for him, Gongsun Zhan's subordinates, who were the number one imaginary enemy, had one more Youzhou man who would go to Yizhou to be the emperor in the future, and the two men around him who now seemed to be downtrodden would be called the tiger generals of the world in twenty years.

But it was precisely because Yan Bei didn't know these things and couldn't see the road ahead clearly, which gave him unparalleled courage.

Teach him to sharpen his knives and drive his troops south!
