Changan. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
As the New Year draws closer, this political and economic center city of the Han Dynasty once again exerts its unique charm, with countless lights and shops filled with a festive atmosphere.
The brocade clothes patrolling the city also accompanied him with a smile on his face, and only the guards in the city put on a cold appearance to strengthen patrolling back and forth.
As Xu Huang was the first to return to Chang'an from Liangzhou, the generals of the Lucheng Army returned one after another, and the generals such as Zhao Yun, Han De, Pang De, Zhang He, Yu Ban, and Zhang Xiu returned one after another, and the entire Chang'an City fell into a carnival, and there was a trace of disharmony in the cheerful rhythm.
Chen Zhi went out on patrol with Liu Bei, and Dian Wei was left behind to cooperate with Liu Yusheng to deter the friction of the fierce generals under the command of the generals.
The whole Chang'an City is still harmonious at this time, and the gathering of the generals every once in a while also makes this disharmony gradually increase, after all, the general's favorite program is to have a drink and have a fight.
Especially after Zhang Fei, the demon king of the mixed world, came to Chang'an, his subordinates had conflicts with others for three days, causing at least one of Dian Wei and Liu Zhiran to become his personal bodyguards.
At this point, Xun Yu had to urge Liu Bei to come back in advance, a Zhang Fei is so difficult, if Guan Yu comes back with Zhang Ren, Gan Ning and others, Chang'an will have to open the pot if it can't be done.
In fact, Xun Yu did not urge Liu Bei, and Liu Bei also accelerated his trip, first, he had received the news that something had happened in Bingzhou, Xianbei Jianman rebelled, Han Dang's life and death were unknown, and second, Cai Yan's birth date may be advanced.
Cai Yan is Liu Bei's wife, if she gives birth to a son, she will be Liu Bei's son-in-law, that is, the heir of Lu Chengjun's first line, Liu Bei has already returned to his heart like an arrow, but Zhang Xun in Wuguan is like a fish in his throat, which makes him feel very uncomfortable.
Liu Bei knew that to take Zhang Xun, with the combat power of the Lucheng army for more than a month at most, but Yuan Shu's face had to be taken care of, at present, the two sides are just tearing their faces, with Yuan Shao and Cao Cao on the other, and the two sides will only let Yuan Shao and Cao Cao steal fun, so it is wise for Liu Bei to launch a battle for the unification of Hebei after the year, only Zhang Xun in Wuguan.
Yuan Shu is currently bent on becoming the emperor, and he will definitely not let Zhang Xun provoke the behemoth Lu Chengjun, and at present, it is the right thing for him to get through the first thought of becoming the emperor and let the world adapt to his Zhong family.
"Lord, the matter of Wuguan has been clarified, the first emperor has a widow who was adopted by Dong Cheng, and Dong Cheng used the son of the first emperor to win over Fu Wan, Duan Xuan and other people who have the Han family in mind, which caused the Wuguan incident."
Li Ru came to Liu Bei with the news of the Bingzhou Incident, and by the way, he told him the cause and effect of the loss of Wuguan.
Originally, Liu Bei just asked casually suspiciously, but he didn't expect Liu Xie to be alive and have a son, he was so merciful.
"Where is he now?"
Liu Bei looked at the scenery outside the carriage with a blank gaze, and asked as if unintentionally.
Li Ru naturally knew who he was when Liu Bei asked, and hurriedly said: "Dong Cheng escorted him out of Wuguan, and then quietly entered Nanyang, and someone recently witnessed Dong Cheng appear in Yanzhou."
"Yanzhou? Cao Cao? ”
Liu Bei thought that without the emperor, Cao Cao would be just a prince, but he didn't expect that the historical inertia was so great that he actually made a posthumous son of the emperor, it seems that the rise of Lao Cao is inevitable.
"Lord, do you want someone to send someone to solve him?"
Li Ru asked tentatively.
Liu Bei shook his head slightly, Cao Cao got the emperor's posthumous but kept it a secret, he was definitely not afraid of Liu Bei, he was just waiting for another opportunity, maybe Cao Cao had already laid a trap and was waiting for Liu Bei to send someone.
Once Liu Bei sent someone to go, the identity of Emperor Xian's widow was self-evident, and the reputation of killing Emperor Xian Liu Bei was also deducted on his head, I have to say that the Han Dynasty attached great importance to reputation in this era, otherwise Xun Yu and Xun You would not have committed suicide or been given death when Cao Cao was about to dominate the world.
"There's no chance anymore."
Liu Bei sighed, and after a while, he suddenly asked, "How is Lu Fengxian?"
Li Ru was stunned for a moment, but after all, he was a certain master who had served Dong Zhuo, and he searched for Lu Bu's information in his mind at the moment, and said: "Since Yuan Shu and Lu Bu had a bad relationship, and Lu Bu broke the Seventh Army, he shrank in Xuzhou City, and it seems that he has no ambition to compete for the world, but accompanies his wife and concubine."
"Well, what about Chen Gong, just watch Lu Bu fall."
Liu Bei asked again.
Li Ru said: "Chen Gongtai is naturally unwilling to be lonely, first contacted Lu Bu's general Hao Meng to rebel, but unfortunately was quickly suppressed by Lu Bu, and now Lu Bu handed over the military power to Wei Xu, Wei Xian, Hou Cheng, Xuzhou soldiers have Cao Bao to control, political affairs have Xu Kai, Wang Yan, Chen Qi Chen Deng's father and son to deal with, Chen Gong has been marginalized. Chen Gong had no choice but to go to the East China Sea to dry salt, and because of the work of drying salt, he gradually returned to Lu Bu's side. ”
"Since ancient times, Gentle Township has been a hero's mound, and it is a pity to want to serve the previous generation of fierce generals, sit in Xuzhou, and have enough soldiers and food to be a rich man with peace of mind!"
Liu Bei couldn't help but lament, in fact, Lu Bu didn't have the heart to make a big deal, which was why Liu Bei released him, and when Lu Bu was tired of playing, he would know that Liu Bei was his belonging.
"Fengxian is living too comfortably, we have to remind him, send someone to tell him that Cao Cao has a plan to go to Xuzhou three times, if he doesn't want to abandon his wife and children and go into exile in the world, it's best to prepare for war."
Liu Bei has some hatred for the way that iron does not become steel, as long as Lu Bu has a little ambition and does not fall too fast, he can help Liu Bei contain Cao Cao, even if he loses Xuzhou within a year or two, Liu Bei can also set the general trend of Hebei.
"Whoa!"
Li Ru bowed his head.
"My lord, Chang'an City has arrived."
Outside the carriage, Chen Zhi rode a horse and whispered.
Liu Bei lifted the curtain on the small window of the carriage and looked at the towering city wall and the gatekeeper with a new mental outlook, and felt comforted in his heart, if this Chang'an was not for himself, I am afraid that it would have been a ruined city long ago, and the people of Chang'an were still suffering from the disasters of Li Dao and Guo Yan!
"Into the city."
Liu Bei abandoned the troubles in his heart, remembered Cai Yan, who was about to give birth, and put down the curtain with a smile on the corner of his mouth.
Liu Bei suddenly lifted the curtain but was seen by a young man, the young man was purple-haired and blue-eyed, Fang Yi opened his mouth, and said with a bright eye: "The former overlord saw the first emperor and said: "He can take his place!" ”
"Childe is cautious."
The military general next to the young man hurriedly covered the young man's mouth.
The young man shook off the general's hand indifferently and said, "Brother Youping, don't worry, what I want to say is that brother Ding Ke will take his place."
"Second son, you can be scared to death."
The young man couldn't help but sigh secretly when he saw the appearance of the general, the Han lost his deer, and the world's heroes chased him, but unfortunately he could only look at it, maybe his brother could only participate in it when he was older.
It's just that my heart is unwilling, why am I the second?
The young man looked at the Sunzi banner fluttering beside the general, and sighed in his heart.
This young man is Sun Quan, Sun Ce's younger brother.
