Rebirth of the Three Kingdoms: The New Biography of Guan Ping

Chapter 55 Uncle Liu Bei

Guan Ping had never sat in a sedan chair before, and from the bottom of his heart, he didn't want to sit in a sedan chair either. As a man, you have to ride your horse and whip your whip to be heroic. www>

When he arrived at the palace slowly all the way, Guan Ping only felt a lot of anger from being bumped by the sedan chair.

After getting out of the sedan chair, Guan Ping carefully looked at the palace, it couldn't be said to be majestic, but it could barely stand on the stage.

After all, the real emperor of the Eastern Han Dynasty was Luoyang. In the final analysis, Xuchang was still a small city, but Cao Cao's base. The palace was also transformed from a rich mansion. [

As for the soldiers guarding the palace, Guan Ping knew their identity after just one glance. They were one of the tiger and leopard cavalry that Cao Cao had recently formed. , a warrior stood proudly, armed with a long sword, without squinting, majestic.

Guan Ping met him in Xuzhou. It was Cao Xiu, the son of Cao Cao. He was brave and good at fighting, but he was also hot-tempered.

When Cao Cao attacked Lu Bu, he felt that the cavalry was a major weakness of his own. Yuan Shu in the north, occupying Bing and Youzhou, is rich in good horses and has strong cavalry. If this situation does not change, if Yuan Shao crosses the Yellow River, then his Cavalry can rampage in Henan and Yan.

In view of this situation, as soon as Cao Cao returned to Xuchang, he established a powerful cavalry team, which is very famous in the Three Kingdoms and is very good at raiding and attacking fortifications-tiger and leopard cavalry!

There are only eight leaders of the tiger and leopard cavalry, namely: Xia Houdun, Xia Houyuan, Cao Ren, Cao Hong, and Cao Chun. These are the five older generations, and they are brothers with Cao Cao.There are also Cao Zhen, Cao Xiu, and Xia Houshang. These three are the juniors, and they are all the sons or adopted sons of Cao Cao.

It can be said that these eight people are the leader of Cao Cao's political group and the force that Cao Cao relies on most.

And building a good relationship with them is undoubtedly very important for Guan Ping, who is determined to make great progress under Cao Cao.

Because, when Liu Bei and his party passed through the palace gate and were about to enter inside, Guan Ping took a step behind and bowed slightly to Cao Xiu.

"General Cao has worked hard." It was a greeting.

Cao Xiu was obviously taken aback, but he quickly realized that there was a flash of fighting intent in his eyes.

Cao Cao admired Guan Ping very much, so every time he taught Cao Zhen, Cao Xiu, Xia Houshang and other juniors, he would use Guan Ping as an example, or as an example, or as an encouragement.

"Look at Guan Ping, ah! I, a descendant of the Cao family, will be worse than others?"

It is conceivable that with Cao Xiu's youthful and energetic temperament, he must not be convinced.

Inexplicably, Guan Ping, Cao Zhen, Cao Xiu, Xia Houshang and several others all forged a moderate relationship.

"It is my duty to defend His Majesty. I have heard for a long time that Colonel Guan is superb in martial arts. If I have the opportunity in the future, I will ask Captain Guan for some advice."

Even a fool can hear the gunpowder in the words.

Guan Ping was startled, did I provoke you?

Although he was angry in his heart, he didn't want to fight against Cao Xiu, so Guan Ping didn't show any anger, instead he cupped his hands and said with a smile: "My martial arts are vulgar, how dare you, how dare you."

Despise!Guan Ping was actually smiling, a disapproving, confident smile.In Cao Xiu's view, this means that in his eyes, he is not even worthy of an opponent. [

"Hmph!" Cao Xiu snorted coldly, turned his face away, and stopped talking, but the resentment in his heart continued to rise.

Guan Ping was completely speechless, the world is unpredictable.Originally, I wanted to say hello and get acquainted, but unexpectedly it was this kind of scene.

At this time, just in front of Liu Bei was urging, Guan Ping followed quickly.He didn't know that such a simple conversation would bring Guan Ping little trouble, but not small trouble in the future.

……

Guan Ping prostrated himself on the ground, carefully observing the situation in the hall.The civil and military officials lined up on both sides, and Cao Cao was not as domineering as in the legend. Although he did not kneel and had a sword on his waist, he still stood at the front, leaning forward slightly, with a respectful attitude.

From one side, a few eunuchs came out and sat on the dragon chair. The man in his 20s, with fair skin almost like a woman, looked a little sick.

However, his eyes are sharp, and his face is dignified. Against the background of the dragon robe, he is also a good-looking talent, and the majesty of a gentleman is also full.

It was the puppet Emperor Liu Xie who had been held hostage by Cao Cao for decades.

"Everyone loves you." There was no expression on his face, as if he couldn't arouse the slightest interest in anything in front of him.

"Your Majesty!" After all the ministers shouted long live, Cao Cao stepped into the middle and said loudly, "Your Majesty, when you led the troops to Xuzhou to destroy Lv Bu according to His Majesty's will, there were three people who made great contributions. Your Majesty also asks you to reward them."

"Cao Aiqing, the generals who conquered Xuzhou were rewarded a few days ago, so how many people came out today?" Liu Xie looked puzzled, but when he saw the three people kneeling in the hall, they seemed to be strange faces. There was a little bit of interest.

"These people have made the most contributions, and they can all be named marquises. Therefore, I just proposed it today." Cao Cao stared at Liu Xie who was a little excited and expectant on the dragon chair, and couldn't help being a little funny. This child is really tenacious. Until now, he still He didn't give up, he wanted to recruit confidantes and cultivate power, so he was excited when he saw a strange face.

"Wu Na three people, each of you should report your name and ancestor's origin." Liu Xie leaned forward on the dragon chair, clasped his hands on both sides, and said loudly.

"My subject Liu Bei, my subject is the great-great-grandson of Emperor Xiaojing after King Jing of Zhongshan. The grandson of Liu Xiong, the character of Liu Hong." Every time Liu Bei talks about his origin, he always speaks in a smooth and coherent manner, and he is extremely proud. The pride in the bones.

"What!" Liu Xie on the dragon chair couldn't help screaming, the surprise on his face was so strong that he almost stood up with his hands.

Great joy, great joy.My hard life seems to be coming to an end, and finally a member of the royal family has come. If you can pull him to your side and support him, so that he can contain Cao Cao in the court, and when the time is right, he can kill Cao Cao Thief, regain power.

Thinking of this bright future, Liu Xie blushed with excitement.It took a few seconds for him to realize that he lost his composure.

"Cough, cough, cough..." Liu Xie coughed a few times, then forgot to glance at the eunuch next to him, and said solemnly, "Bring me the genealogy of my clan."

After a few breaths, the eunuch came with Liu's family genealogy, looked through it for a long time, and lined up for a long time. As Guan Ping knew, Liu Bei's family line happened to be Liu Xie's uncle.

"Uncle Emperor." Liu Xie immediately gave a shallow salute, which shocked Liu Bei to the ground, not daring to raise his head.

Since the emperor Gaozu, the Liu family has sprung up and scattered among the royal family. I don't know how many people, if they all relied on their identities as emperor's uncle, emperor's younger brother, and emperor's grandfather, how would they be able to cope with it.

Therefore, only the seniority recognized by the emperor is the real seniority. [

Just like Liu Bei, he used to weave straw sandals poor and poor, but since then, he has been the emperor's uncle.

Uncle Liu Huang, from now on, anyone who sees Liu Bei must respectfully call him Uncle Liu Huang.

This later became Liu Bei's biggest capital.It is equivalent to that in later generations, Liu Bei was poor and white, but he said everywhere that he came out of Peking University, but in the end, he had no proof, no diploma, and no one believed him. At this moment, the emperor, the emperor of the Han Dynasty, personally issued a national certificate for him. recognized certificate.

Moreover, this certificate is still a life-saving talisman. The reason why Cao Cao dare not move Liu Bei is because Liu Bei has a reputation for benevolence. It is easy to kill him, but from then on, I am afraid that no one will come to Cao Cao.

You can't even tolerate Liu Xuande, a man of benevolence, how can you tolerate the world's scholars?

But now, Liu Bei has acquired the status of the emperor's uncle, and he has been a clan member of the Han Dynasty since then. For Cao Cao, who has always regarded himself as a loyal minister of the Han Dynasty, he would not dare to kill him, which can be described as double insurance.

Therefore, even if Cao Cao knew that Liu Bei had great ambitions and was unwilling to be inferior to others, he would definitely not kill Liu Bei.

"Uncle, please get up quickly." Liu Xie was overjoyed, got up quickly, went down to the hall, helped Liu Bei up, brushed the dust off his shoulders, pulled Liu Bei, and was about to enter the side hall, that was called an intimacy.

"Your Majesty!" Cao Cao yelled angrily, "The morning court has not yet retreated, where are Your Majesty and Uncle Liu going?"

"Cao Aiqing." Liu Xie also raised his voice slightly, and asked back: "I am delighted to meet the emperor's uncle, and now we will go to the side hall to talk about the ceremony of uncle and nephew. It's okay!"

The smell of tension came out, this Liu Xie really wanted to do something, he didn't want to be like his father and brother, either doing nothing or dying in a daze.

"It's okay, it's okay." After all, hundreds of ministers watched, and at this point, Cao Cao couldn't stop him, so he had to agree.

Seeing Liu Xie and Liu Bei enter the side hall, Cao Cao frowned, but a trace of uneasiness flashed in his heart.

Originally, the timing of the rewards for Liu Bei and the others was postponed in order to better control the situation, magnify the contributions of Zhang Liao and Guan Ping, and then minimize the contributions of Liu Bei, so as to create a gap.

I didn't expect that Liu Bei who weaves the straw sandals really had such a background, which made the uncle and nephew fall in love with each other. If the emperor insists on rewarding Liu Bei for his meritorious service, even though I am the prime minister, I can't blatantly stop him.If they become powerful, wouldn't I, Cao Cao, have internal and external troubles, really... a headache.

A moment later, Liu Xie took Liu Bei's hand, still talking, and walked out of the side hall. The intimacy between the two made the eyes of some veterans loyal to the Han Dynasty warm.

The family members are close, and the big man can be rejuvenated!

"The emperor's uncle worked hard in Xuzhou, and he is the line of my clan, so he should be rewarded." When he said this, Liu Xie's eyes no longer saw the confusion, hesitation and timidity just now, as if Liu Bei had given him infinite hope and hope. courage.

Liu Xie also looked at Cao Cao's face with a flinching gaze again. When he got up to fight, he glanced at the officials, and for the first time he had the meaning of looking down on the world.

"I'll make the emperor's uncle General Zuo, shepherd of Yuzhou, marquis of Tinghou in Yicheng, and eat three thousand households!"

"Your Majesty!" The reward was too great, and Cao Cao was eager to stop it.

"Cao Aiqing!" Liu Xie suddenly had great courage at this moment, he looked at Cao Cao firmly, and said word by word: "I have made up my mind."

Cao Cao saw his expression that if he refused to agree, he would go all out with you, so he had to withdraw the half of his outstretched foot.

"The minister obeys the order."
