Chapter 192: Mantis Arm Blocking the Car
In fact, there is no need for Yuan Shao to say, Liu Xin also knows that he is Liu Bei, everyone else has been introduced, and the rest is not Liu Bei and any other, the ancient books say that Liu Bei is seven feet five inches long, his face is like a crown of jade, his lips are like grease, his ears are hanging down his shoulders, his eyes can take care of his ears, and his hands are above his knees, when Liu Xin saw this passage, he couldn't understand it, if Liu Bei really looked like this, it would be too exaggerated, the whole complex of a pig's head and an elongated gibbon, it is difficult to imagine how Wu Guotai fell in love with Liu Bei, and promised to marry Sun Shangxiang to him, now it seems, The record in the book is too inaccurate, although Liu Bei's ears are a little bigger, and his arms are a little longer, he is still 108,000 miles away from hanging his shoulders and knees.
Liu Xin looked behind him again, a general was holding a long knife, his face was like a heavy jujube, and his phoenix eyes were long, but he was a little similar to Guan Erye on the portrait, but his face was gloomy and his mood was not high, he must have almost died under Lu Bu's halberd, and it was a big blow to him, however, there are pros and cons to everything, maybe this failure can make Guan Erye, who is stubborn and self-serving, understand that there are people outside the world, and there is a truth outside the sky, maybe it is a good thing,
Liu Bei saw that Liu Xin was just looking at them and didn't speak, so he quickly took the initiative to speak: "Lord Liu, if you talk about it, you and I are still brothers of the same clan." ”
Liu Xin has never had a good impression of Liu Bei, and always thought that he relied on tears to deceive the loyalty of Guan, Zhang, Zhao Yun and others, which made it to three points of the world, and now Zhang Fei and Zhao Yun are behind him, making his own brothers, Liu Bei can't be deceived no matter how much he cries, Liu Xin has long suspected that Liu Bei is not a Han clan relative, so he said with a little playfulness: "Xuande Gong is a Han clan relative, I don't know if I have brought a family tree with me, and we can also talk about the elder and youngest." ”
Liu Bei couldn't help but be stunned, the so-called Han clan relatives were said by him through his surname Liu, whether these words were true, only he knew best in his heart, however, no one had ever questioned his words, let alone wanted to see his genealogy, Liu Xin's words were poking at his weakness, however, Liu Bei is not only a generation of heroes, but also an excellent actor, his tears come as soon as he says, he is not stimulated by potions, and he opens his mouth to lie: "Liu Bei's family is in the middle of the road, and there are many accidents, and the genealogy has long been lost, There is no way to find it, if Lord Liu has a genealogy at hand, you might as well borrow it from me, and I can also copy it and keep it for the future to worship my ancestors. ”
Speaking of genealogy, Liu Xin is not worried, he now has two genealogies in his hand, one was passed on to him by his father-in-law Liu Jian, which naturally has his name on it, and the other is just rescued from Dongguan the day before yesterday, which is a royal genealogy, Dong Zhuo left in a hurry, and he didn't even have time to take away the royal genealogy, on this genealogy, Liu Xin's name has already been added by Liu Hong, Liu Xin didn't expect that Liu Bei's reaction was really fast enough, and he picked himself up in a few words, and even turned him upside down.
Liu Xin knew that he couldn't be too entangled with him in this matter, so he said lightly: "I naturally have the genealogy, but I can't borrow it from outsiders to see, if there is your name on it, I can naturally borrow you to copy it, if not, then you have to forgive me for offending." ”
Liu Bei's expression remained unchanged, and he arched his hand and said: "That's nature, don't dare to force people down." ”
His words were a pun, implying that Liu Xin couldn't get a genealogy, but Liu Xin didn't come to the meeting today to expose his fake identity, so he didn't argue with him, turned to Yuan Shao and said: "Lord Yuan, now that I have known all the adults, it's time for us to get to the point, Lord Yuan invited Liu to come, just say anything directly." ”
Yuan Shao didn't expect Liu Xin to be so direct, he had prepared a lot of rhetoric, and then slowly cut to the point, but he was so messed with, none of them were used, today about Liu Xin to come, it was discussed by the princes, he can't back down as the leader of the alliance, Yuan Shao stiffened his head and said: "In this case, Yuan Mou, like Lord Liu, are both cheerful people, if you have something to say, you can say it directly, please come here today, just want to ask Lord Liu to withdraw from Luoyang and hand over Luoyang City to the princes' coalition army." ”
Liu Xin couldn't help but secretly his thumb, it seemed that Chen Gong still had two brushes, and guessed Yuan Shao's plan ** not far from ten, Liu Xin was not in a hurry to answer, just looked at Yuan Shao coldly, and said slowly after a long time: "What if I don't agree." ”
Yuan Shao suddenly laughed, his face sank, and said: "I think Lord Liu is joking with me, look here, the princes of the Seventeenth Road, the army of 400,000, does Lord Liu want to block the car with his mantis arm." ”
Liu Xin sneered again and again, and said: "What's the use of having more people, in my opinion, it's just a plate of loose sand, all of them are like sticking to sell heads." ”
As soon as these words came out, there was an uproar among the princes, many people had already scratched, Yan Liang and Wen Chou behind Yuan Shao were even more swords and guns, and they wanted to do it, Guan Yu, who had been drooping his head, suddenly opened his eyes and stared at Liu Xin, thoughtfully,
Yuan Shu couldn't help jumping out and said, "Liu Xin, you don't want to challenge the world's heroes with your own strength." ”
Liu Xin was unmoved, and still said slowly: "Luoyang City was taken by my Jingzhou soldiers with their lives, how can I say let it go, and the 300,000 people in the city were also rescued by my Jingzhou soldiers from Dong Thief, how could Liu leave them alone." ”
Although Yuan Shao didn't know the true combat strength of the Jingzhou army, he thought that since Liu Xin dared to come to Luoyang alone, he must have something to rely on, in case of war, his alliance leader would definitely bear the brunt of the battle, but let the other princes benefit, he would not do such a stupid thing, so he endured it and endured it, and said: "Lord Liu, I know that you were assisted by the edict of the first emperor to assist the young emperor, but the sky does not obey people's wishes, now that Dong thief has taken the emperor hostage and went to Chang'an, Lord Liu is bent on setting up another Ming Jun, Yuan promised you, as long as you give up Luoyang, I will try to gather the ministers, Another Mingjun. ”
Liu Xin didn't expect Yuan Shao to take this out as a condition, and couldn't help but despise him for a while, of course the Mingjun that Liu Xin wanted to set up was himself, you Yuan Shao is now a Mingjun, then what is there to Liu Xin, Liu Xin shook his head, and said categorically: "Yes, Liu Mou wants to set up another Mingjun, but until the world is peaceful, now that Dong Thief has not been removed, what Mingjun has been established, you still die of this heart, if you want to fight, I will fight, I will never back down." ”
When Huang Zhong, Zhao Yun and other generals behind Liu Xin heard this, they all became excited, and they were eager to try.
Yuan Shao was just about to speak, but Beihai Taishou Kong Rong said: "Lord Liu, Kong has a word, I don't know whether to say it or not." ”
Liu Xin knew that Kong Rong was upright and talented, and he had heard the story of him making pears since he was a child, so he still had some respect for him, so he arched his hand and said: "Master Kong has something to say, but it doesn't hurt to talk about it." ”
Kong Rong Zhengse said: "Kong knows that Lord Liu is a clan member of the Han family, and the army to fight against Dong Zhuo is definitely not for his own selfish interests, but to save the people of Luoyang. ”
Liu Xin snorted coldly and didn't speak, of course he didn't want to have a big battle with the princes' army, no matter what the victory or defeat was, he would let Dong Zhuo take advantage of the fisherman,
Seeing that he didn't speak, Kong Rong continued: "Lord Liu also knows that the princes of the Seventeenth Route have their own opinions, and everyone is raising troops to come for Luoyang, if the Lord insists on refusing to back down, then a big war is inevitable." ”
Liu Xin saw that although his tone was not threatening, there was nothing new, and he couldn't help but say proudly: "So what, Liu is not afraid of a battle." ”
Kong Rong suddenly changed his words and said: "But Luoyang is not an empty city now, there are 300,000 people in the city who Lord Liu has worked hard to rescue back, has Lord Liu ever thought about what will happen to them if the war starts." ”
Liu Xin listened to Kong Rong's words, and couldn't help but calm down, he has always played the pro-people card, if he really fights with the princes in order to fight for Luoyang, then what is the difference between himself and these princes, Liu Xin pondered for a long time, and then said: "It's okay to let me withdraw from the army, but you have to promise me one thing, no one is allowed to burn, kill, loot, and oppress the people in Luoyang." ”
Yuan Shao was relieved when he heard Liu Xin, and his heart was overjoyed, and he said: "Lord Liu, please rest assured, we are also raising the banner of righteousness, how can we do such an illegal thing, as long as Lord Liu withdraws from Luoyang, I guarantee that you will not hurt a single person and will not rob the people of a grain of food." ”
Liu Xin saw that Yuan Shao agreed happily, so he didn't say more, turned around and ordered: "Inform Gongming and them, pack up, and retreat to Yique Pass early tomorrow morning." ”
Although Huang Zhong and the others were unwilling to give up Luoyang, they did not dare to disobey Liu Xin's orders, only Zhang Liao was not convinced, and shouted: "Lord, Luoyang City is not easy to come by, how can it be easily conceded." ”
Liu Xin soothed: "If there was no army of princes to contain Dong Zhuo, we would not have taken Luoyang so easily, Master Kong is right, I came to raise troops for the people of Luoyang, the people have had enough of Dong Zhuo's poison, and they are miserable, how can they be hurt again, listen to my order, and withdraw the army." ”
Yuan Shu saw that Liu Xin's tone softened, and suddenly shouted loudly: "It's not enough to just withdraw from Luoyang, you have to keep exiting Yique Pass." ”
The reason why Liu Xin agreed to withdraw from Luoyang, there is another important reason, that is, he was busy fighting fires after entering the city, and he was not able to control the city gate in time, now the east gate is in the hands of the coalition army, and there are many coalition troops stationed in the city, as long as there is a war, it will definitely affect the people in the city, if the city gate is controlled at the beginning, Liu Xin will not easily retreat, the Luoyang wall is high and deep, under the stubbornness of the Jingzhou army, these rabble alone can not be attacked,
However, Yique Pass is different, it is an important passage for Luoyang to go south and Yingru to the north, since it is in Liu Xin's hands, he has never thought of giving up, even if he fights, he does not have to worry about hurting innocent people, so as soon as Yuan Shu's words came out, Liu Xin said without hesitation: "Since Lord Yuan wants Yique Pass wholeheartedly, then pull your people out to try, and then do it after the province is passed, wouldn't it be a waste of effort." ”
