Three Kingdoms: Liu Bei seeks the master and seeks to conquer the world

Chapter 281 To get the jade seal again, Liu Bei wants to go to Luoyang
In the first year of Xingping, at the end of August.

Liu Xie led the ministers to Luoyang.

Looking at the depressed and decaying Luoyang City, Liu Xie couldn't help feeling sad in his heart.

"The prosperous old capital has become ruins."

"The shame of the Han family!"

While Liu Xie sent people to clear out temporary residences in the dilapidated Luoyang, he summoned Zongzheng Liu Ai.

"Zongzheng, what is General Zhengbei's idea?" Liu Xie's tone was a little hasty.

Because of the differences between Cao Cao, Zhang Miao and the Chinese and Wu of the court, Liu Xie could only temporarily move the capital to Luoyang.

But after arriving in Luoyang, Liu Xie's mind changed again.

A place like Luoyang, with ruins and walls, is not suitable for being an imperial capital at all.

Today, the Korean and Chinese military are divided into four factions.

One faction, headed by Lu Bu, Zhang Miao, and Chen Gong, wanted to move the capital to Chenliu.

One faction, headed by Zhong Yao, hoped to move the capital to Yingchuan.

One group, headed by Yang Biao and Ma Rizun, hoped to stay in Luoyang or move the capital to Hongnong.

One faction, headed by Liu Ai, hopes to move the capital to Qingzhou.

The idea of ​​moving the capital to Qingzhou with Liu Ai as the leader is actually Liu Xie's idea.

Liu Ai said: "When I went to Qingzhou, General Zhengbei was having a conflict with Yuan Shao."

"But General Zhengbei has promised that he will end the conflict with Yuan Shao as soon as possible and come to Luoyang to see His Majesty."

Liu Xie was slightly surprised: "General Zhengbei started fighting with Yuan Shao? Do you know why?"

Liu Ai said truthfully: "Liu Qingzhou sent troops to escort Gongsun Zan's family back to Qingzhou, but they were intercepted and killed by Yuan Shao. General Zhengbei was furious and ordered to attack Nanpi City."

Liu Xie frowned a little: "Gongsun Zan is a rebellious generation, why did General Zheng Bei send troops to rescue him?"

Liu Ai quickly explained: "Your Majesty, General Zhengbei always takes faith as the foundation of his life. Although Gongsun Zan is a rebellious person, he has a good personal relationship with General Zhengbei, and they are both under Lu Shangshu."

"Although Gongsun Zan acted rebelliously, General Zheng Bei did not want his old friend to die, so he sent troops to escort Gongsun Zan's family back to Qingzhou. His Majesty should be happy for a person who values ​​love and righteousness."

Liu Xie frowned: "Zong Zheng's words are justified. General Zhengbei has such great affection for his old friends, and he will certainly not forget my kindness."

"Although I temporarily agreed to Chaowen Wu, I will move the capital to Luoyang first, and then decide whether to go to Chenliu or Yingchuan, but now I only want to go to Qingzhou."

"Whether it is Chen Liu or Yingchuan, they are all ambitious people who want to control me. Only General Zhengbei treats me sincerely."

Talking room.

Dong Cheng arrives.

Recently, Dong Cheng is very high-spirited, a father depends on a daughter, and this daughter has become a nobleman, so Dong Cheng's status will naturally rise.

Dong Cheng was originally the trilogy of Niu Fu, a general of Dong Zhuo's department, so it stands to reason that he would not be able to become the head of Liu Xie.

However, Dong Cheng is also the nephew of the Empress Dowager Dong, the mother of Hanling Emperor, and Liu Xie has been taken care of by the Empress Dowager Dong since childhood. As far as this relationship is concerned, Dong Cheng's daughter naturally becomes Liu Xie's nobleman.

"Your Majesty, great joy!"

"The plague of locusts has swept through Dongjun and Chenliu counties. Your Majesty doesn't need to move the capital to Chenliu."

Dong Cheng didn't notice Liu Xie's increasingly livid face.

What good news!

"Master, the common people are suffering from disasters, and I am very worried. How can I be overjoyed?" Liu Xie's tone became unswerving.

Dong Cheng slapped the horse's ass on the horse's leg, he was a little embarrassed, and said: "Your Majesty's kindness is the blessing of the people."

Liu Xie's eyes became complicated: "Has Yingchuan been affected by the locust plague?"

Dong Cheng shook his head: "There is no locust plague in Yingchuan."

Liu Xie's eyes became more worried.

Originally, the two factions who moved the capital to Chenliu and moved the capital to Yingchuan were quarrelsome, but now that Chenliu has encountered locust plagues but Yingchuan has not, there will be more people supporting the move to Yingchuan.

As Liu Xie guessed, when the news of the locust plague in Chenliu and Dongjun spread among the officials, Zhong Yao was the first to come to find Liu Xie, and then persuaded Liu Xie to move his capital to Yingchuan.

Later, more than ten ministers came to look for Liu Xie, and persuaded Liu Xie to move his capital to Yingchuan.

On the other side, Lu Bu, Zhang Miao and Chen Gong were quite uncomfortable.

"Why is there a plague of locusts in Chen Liu?"

"How did Zang Ziyuan prevent it!"

Zhang Miao felt strong malice.

Ruling Guanzhong, Guanzhong drought.

When I first arrived in Luoyang, there was a plague of locusts.

It seems that heaven does not want Liu Xie to go to Chenliu, nor does it want Zhang Miao to be in power.

Lu Bu's complexion was not good either.

This Jianwei general has been serving for a long time, and Lu Bu no longer wants to be subordinated to others.

If the capital is moved to Yingchuan, Cao Cao's power will increase sharply, and it will be very difficult for Lu Bu to become a general in charge of military power.

Will Cao Cao give Lu Bu command of the soldiers and horses in Yuzhou?
Lu Bu is not so confident that Cao Cao will hand over command!

But if Cao Cao didn't hand over the command, how can Lu Bu be called the Jianwei General who is in charge of the military power?

Chen Gong thought about it for a while, and said: "For the present plan, the only way is to let His Majesty stay in Luoyang as much as possible, and then postpone it until next year."

Chen Gong's idea is very simple.

The locust plague in Chenliu was only this year, and next year, Chenliu would still be the most suitable place to move the capital.

Zhang Miao said with a frown: "Although the strategy of the public platform is feasible, Zhong Yao, Cao Cao and others will not allow His Majesty to delay until next year. They will even talk about locust plagues, such as moving the capital to Chenliu, which is unlucky."

When it comes to interests, all fortunes and misfortunes are just means to attack the enemy.

If there is a plague of locusts in Yingchuan but not in Chenliu, Zhang Miao will use this excuse to attack Zhong Yao, Cao Cao and others.

Chen Gong thought carefully: "Why don't you invite Liu Bei to come to Luoyang? If Liu Bei wants His Majesty to move the capital to Qingzhou, Zhong Yao and Cao Cao will definitely not agree."

"In this way, we can advise His Majesty to stay in Luoyang temporarily, waiting for Cao Cao and Liu Bei to come to a conclusion."

"As long as it's delayed until next year, you can ask His Majesty to move the capital to Chenliu again."

Lu Bu's idea was more direct: "No matter where your majesty moves the capital, no one will be able to move the general Jianwei! Whoever moves, I will kill him!"

Compared with the worries of Liu Xie, Zhang Miao and others, Cao Cao was very happy.

Long before Liu Xie arrived in Luoyang, Cao Cao personally led troops and horses to escort him.

Knowing that Dongjun and Chenliu were infested by locusts, Cao Cao's heart was filled with joy.

"Zang Ziyuan is a talent, even in the face of locust disasters, he has a countermeasure."

"It's a pity that the plague of locusts in Chenliu and Dongjun is not because of the great harm it will cause to the two counties, but because of the plague of locusts in Chenliu. It is unlucky for the emperor to move the capital!"

"Zhang Mengzhuo never expected that the heavens don't want His Majesty to move the capital to Chenliu!"

"In this way, His Majesty can only move the capital to Xu County!"

Cao Cao felt very comfortable.

As long as Liu Xie moved his capital to Xu County, wouldn't Cao Cao have the final say on all matters in the court?

As for Lu Bu, Zhang Miao, and Chen Gong, even dragons have to lie down in the boundary of Yingchuan, not to mention a few sick tigers!

Guo Jia, who was on the side, saw that Cao Cao was getting carried away, and reminded at the right time: "Dr. Ming, don't be careless. Beware of Zhang Mengzhuo's tricks."

Cao Cao was rather disdainful: "Chen Liudu is infested with locusts, and Zhang Mengzhuo is helpless. Could it be possible that His Majesty can move to another place?"

Guo Jia's eyes were burning, and he slightly pointed in the direction of Qingzhou with his right hand: "Duke Ming, don't forget that Zongzheng Liu Ai went to Qingzhou before His Majesty moved the capital."

"Your Majesty, I have always wanted to go to Qingzhou!"

"Zhang Mengzhuo only needs to drag Zang Hong to solve the locust plague in Chenliu and Dongjun, and then he can persuade his majesty to go to Chenliu again."

Thinking of the conflict with Liu Bei, Cao Cao couldn't help frowning: "According to Feng Xiao's words, how should we deal with it?"

Guo Jia concluded: "I thought that Zhang Miao would definitely send someone to Qingzhou to state his interests, and if Liu Bei didn't want His Majesty to move his capital to Yingchuan, he would form an alliance with Zhang Miao temporarily."

"The top priority is that Duke Ming should send someone to Qingzhou to test Liu Bei's attitude towards His Majesty's move to the capital. Make plans early!"

Cao Cao paced back and forth, thinking about it, and there was a flash of unhappiness in his narrow eyes: "Why is there Liu Bei everywhere!"

Linzi city.

After Yuan Shao ordered Yan Liang to retreat to Chengping, Liu Bei ordered Sun Jian to lead the broken army camp to garrison Nanpi City, and Dian Wei led the Rui Shi Battalion to garrison Leling City, and the rest of the soldiers and horses returned to their respective camps.

Yuan Shao was too busy returning to Zhuocheng to stabilize the overall situation, and he couldn't care less about taking back Nanpi City.

The military conflict between Liu Bei and Yuan Shao also temporarily came to an end.

Early September.

Liu Bei returned to Linzi City.

Xun You brought a young man in his twenties to see Liu Bei.

"My lord, this person is from Wuzhong County, Youbeiping County, Youzhou. His surname is Tian, ​​his name is Chou, and his style name is Zitai. out."

"This visit to Qingzhou was entrusted by Gongsun Zan."

Liu Bei was shocked when he heard the words, and hurried forward to salute: "Mr. Zitai, do you know where Brother Bogui has gone now?"

Tian Chou sighed softly: "Gongsun Bogui expelled the great Sima, snatched the Jade Seal of Chuanguo, and supported the false emperor. I didn't want to have any more ties with Gongsun Bogui."

"Just over half a month ago, Gongsun Zan suddenly came to Xu Wushan to look for me, hoping that I could send the Jade Seal of Chuanguo to Qingzhou."

"As for Gongsun Bogui, he was worried that if his whereabouts were exposed, he would implicate me, so he went outside the Great Wall alone to look for Wuhuan King Tadun."

"Say: As long as he dies in the hands of the Wuhuan people, Yuan Shao will mistakenly think that the Chuanguo Yuxi has fallen into the hands of the Wuhuan people."

Done.

Tian Chou took out a package and handed his hands to Liu Bei.

Liu Bei took the package tremblingly, his eyes were a little more sad.

Although he had already guessed that Gongsun Zan would die, Liu Bei still couldn't help but feel sad when he heard that Gongsun Zan went to the outside of the Great Wall alone.

"Brother Bogui has arrogance in his heart. He would rather die in battle outside the Great Wall than come to Qingzhou to live."

"Sorrow!"

a long time.

Liu Bei bowed solemnly to Tian Chou: "Bei, on behalf of Brother Bogui, thank Mr. Zitai for his righteousness."

Tian Chou also bowed back and said: "I heard that Da Sima is in Zhuxu County. I want to go to Zhuxu County to visit Da Sima. I also ask Liu Shijun to send someone who knows the way to follow me."

Liu Bei was in a complicated mood at this time, and instead of keeping Tian Chou, he asked Xun You to arrange Tian Chou's guide to Zhuxu County.

"A mere jade seal passed down from the country has attracted countless people."

"Yuan Shu was defeated because of this, and brother Bogui died because of this."

"If you are ordered by the heavens, you will live forever. If you get the Jade Seal of Chuanguo, you will be a man of destiny. How can Yuan Shu and Brother Bogui encounter disasters because of this?"

"This is not ordered by the sky, but it is hard to bear the burden."

On the occasion of emotion.

Liu Bei sent someone to invite Zheng Ping.

Zheng Ping's plan is indispensable for Chuan Guo Yuxi to return to Qingzhou this time.

But this time, Liu Bei did not have the joy of success, and his mood became heavy because of Gongsun Zan's death.

"Xianmou, brother Bogui entrusted Tian Chou, a hermit from Xu Wushan, to send back the Jade Seal of Chuanguo."

"As for Brother Bogui, he went alone outside the Great Wall to find King Wuhuan Tadun."

Liu Bei's tone was a little low.

Zheng Ping carefully looked at the Jade Seal of Chuanguo, and then said with relief: "Emissary, General Gongsun's move not only completes the brotherhood with the envoy, but also gives the envoy enough reason to protect General Gongsun's family."

"General Baima became famous because of Wuhuan, and now he was killed in battle outside the Great Wall, it is considered a well-deserved death."

Liu Bei also knew very well in his heart that Gongsun Zan's choice was the best ending so far.

He would not return to Qingzhou because of his rebellious status to embarrass Liu Bei, kill the false emperor to seize the jade seal, and let the jade seal return to Liu Bei's hands, which can be regarded as making up for Liu Bei's past mistakes.

It not only saved the family, but also allowed Liu Bei to have the credit for retaking the Jade Seal of Chuanguo.

a long time.

Liu Bei let out a long sigh, and asked with restrained expression: "Xianmou, what should we do with the imperial jade seal now? Should it continue to be handed over to Da Sima for safekeeping, or should it be sent to Luoyang and returned to the emperor?"

Zheng Ping said without hesitation: "The Jade Seal of Chuanguo belongs to the Han family. Now that the emperor is already in charge, it is natural to send it to Luoyang to return it to the emperor."

"If you have the credit for returning the jade seal, you will have a higher voice in the court in the future."

"No matter who is in charge of the court in the future, they dare not frame the envoy in front of the emperor."

"It just so happens that Yuan Shao is going back to Zhuocheng to stabilize the situation in Youji and the three prefectures. He is temporarily unable to go south to compete with the envoy, so the envoy can take this opportunity to go to Luoyang to meet the emperor!"

Liu Bei thought for a moment, agreed to Zheng Ping's proposal, and said: "This time, when you go to Luoyang, Xianmou will also go with you. Qingzhou already has Gongda as the post, so you and I don't need to worry about military and political affairs."

"As for the soldiers and horses, the Baibai battalion is a heavy shield battalion, and the march is too slow, which is not conducive to adapting. I intend to let the white robe battalion go with me, what do you think?"

Zheng Ping thought for a while, nodded in agreement and said, "Your envoy can arrange it like this. In addition to the White Robe Camp, let A Liang and A Xun also go together."

"These two little guys haven't been to Luoyang yet, so letting them see Xiongguan and Heluo is good for their future growth."

Liu Bei stroked his short beard and said with a smile, "Xianmou has high expectations for A Liang and A Xun."

Zheng Ping also said with a smile: "The sooner Ah Liang and Ah Xun can be alone, the sooner I can sneak away."

The two looked at each other and laughed.

Liu Bei and Zheng Ping have worked together for more than four years, and Liu Bei is also very clear about Zheng Ping's ideals in life.

For Zheng Ping, the Han Dynasty must be supported, and the world must be unified.

But after Kuang helped the Han Dynasty to rule the world, Zheng Ping wanted to leave his stall and travel around the world.

Liu Bei knew very well that Zheng Ping didn't want to put down the stall because he was worried about the rabbit dead dog cooking. With the family background of the Zheng family in Beihai and the reputation of Zheng Xuan and Zheng Ping's father and son, who would dare to play the rabbit dead dog cooking trick?
It can be said that most of the benevolent people in Kuangfu Han Dynasty are related to Zheng Ping.

Isn't it boring to cook like a rabbit to death?
Cultivating Zhuge Liang and Lu Xun is also because Zheng Ping wants to relax after putting down the stall.

Otherwise, as soon as this person leaves, the world will be in chaos again, and Zheng Ping will be very upset.
