Chapter 418 Ten Years ([-])

It seems to be a warm winter...

Of course, in Han Dynasty, there was no such thing as global warming.People respect heaven and earth, ghosts and gods, and ancestors. They are not as unscrupulous and without dignity as the people of later generations.For the environment, it is not just doing whatever you want.

However, this winter is indeed not too cold.

In Sanfuguan, there were only two snowfalls, which seemed to be heavy, but in fact there was not much snow.

As for Jingzhao Luoyang, the snowfall in Guanzhong was even smaller than that in Guanzhong, but after the winter, there was a light snowfall.

The temperature is not very cold, and it is enough to resist the cold without wearing the double-layer cloak.As for ordinary people, although they may not have the conditions of the rich family, they can still survive.In the words of Luoyang people: better than last year.

However, the confidence to speak is no longer as sufficient as it was in Guanghe Zhongping years.

Having gone through countless tribulations, Luoyang City, the former eastern capital, has long since lost the prosperity and glory it once had.In fact, although Luoyang was ruled by Cao Cao, due to the influence of Yuan Shao and others, Cao Cao didn't care much about Luoyang.

Perhaps in Cao Cao's heart, this Luoyang is after all carrying too deep the imprint of the Han Dynasty, and it is not good to repair it.

This is the same as when Emperor Guangwu destroyed Wang Mang and established his capital in Luoyang.

The emperors of the Eastern Han Dynasty, while constantly emphasizing the status of Luoyang, also played down the status of Chang'an intentionally or unintentionally.In fact, any emperor would not want his dynasty to have the brand of another dynasty.

Even the Western Han and Eastern Han...

Although Emperor Guangwu claimed to be a descendant of Gaozu, there are so many people surnamed Liu in this world, who can tell clearly?

Liu Xiu, presumably also wanted to downplay the great achievements of Emperor Gaozu.

Luoyang is very dilapidated, but it has been the imperial capital for 200 years, and it is the imperial capital after all.After Xia Houyuan stationed his army in Luoyang, Cao Cao started the restoration project of Luoyang.Although it was just a little bit, in the eyes of Luoyang people, it seemed that they saw hope again.

sunny!

It looks a little cold, but it is still very comfortable.

At least the sun can be seen everywhere, which makes people feel quite open.The rebuilt horse-faced city wall is a thick blue-gray.There are mottled spots on it, and the traces of the war in the past seem to have been erased, and it looks brand new.

On the top of the city, flags are planted all over the place.

The banners were fluttering, exuding an unparalleled solemnity.

The flying dragon flag, the flying phoenix flag, the Raging Fire Master's flag... the wind swept the flag, and the divine beasts were faintly visible, and a chilling aura rushed towards them.

The North Camp, West Camp and Southeast Camp, which have long been abandoned, are now reopened.

One after another the flags stand high in the camp, and different colors represent different princes. There are seven colors in total, just like the seven stars surrounding it.People shouting and neighing, weapons are cold, adding a bit of coldness in this chilling season.

Gongsun Du, Yuan Shao, Cao Cao, Liu Bei, Sun Ce, Liu Biao...

As for Xichuan Liu Zhang, due to the long journey, he could not appear in Luoyang City.However, he still sent his own representative, his brother Liu Hao, to lead [-] Xichuan troops out of Sichuan to respond to Cao Cao's alliance.

Cao Cao's influence is so great?

Not really...

This time Cao Cao used the name of Emperor Han to conquer on behalf of the heavens.If the princes from all walks of life do not come, they will face the crusade of other princes.So even if Liu Zhang is far away in Xichuan, he dare not neglect.After all, in Hanzhong, he still has a big enemy.

At this time, princes from all walks of life gathered in the Jiade Hall.

Yuan Shao sent his youngest son Yuan Shang as a representative to raise troops from Hanoi, leading an army of 15.Among the princes of the Seven Routes, Yuan Shao has the most soldiers and horses.If you want to say, why did Yuan Shao make such a big effort.The reason is very simple. Cao Cao wrote a letter and sent Yuan Shao the information obtained by Pan Snake intact.In fact, there is only one content.

When Yuan Xi was killed, Dong Bi was in Jizhou!
Need I say anything more?

Yuan Shao is not a fool.Even if he is a fool, his subordinate Tian Feng is not a fool, how could he not see it?
You know, Yuan Xi brought more than a thousand soldiers and horses, and there were also generals following him.

Han Qiong once led people to inspect the battlefield, and it took less than an incense stick of time from the beginning to the end of a battle.Although Dong Bi ordered people to clean up the battlefield at that time, some traces could not be erased.Han Qiong reported back to Yuan Shao that the people who attacked the second son were by no means ordinary bandits, but well-equipped and well-trained regular troops.

Yuan Shao suspected Dong Pi at that time!

It's just that he also knows that Dong Bi, who has returned to Hedong, is like a tiger returning to the mountain.With Yuan Shao's methods, he might be difficult to deal with.This tone can only be endured.Now Cao Cao's alliance is Yuan Shao's opportunity to avenge his second son.

It's not that Yuan Shao values ​​Yuan Xi so much!

It should be said that this face must be earned back.The son was on his own territory, and was shot like a hornet's nest by someone.Moreover, it also forced Yuan Shao's plan to annex Zhongshan Zhen's family to fail, and this hatred even surpassed Yuan Xi's death.

This time, Yuan Shao made a huge investment in sending troops.

I also wanted Yuan Shang to make a name for himself, so he not only sent 15 troops, but also assigned Yuan Shang two advisers, Xu You, and generals Jiang Yiqu, Zhu Ling Zhou Ang, Wen Chou Wangmen and other generals.

Therefore, this Yuan Shang has the most style, which seems to be a youthful madness.

Cao Cao also sent [-] troops this time, with Xiahouyuan Taishi's benevolent general, Yu Jin as his deputy, and other generals such as Hou Cheng and Song Xian, their strength should not be underestimated.In comparison, the troops of the other vassals seemed a bit weak...

Liu Bei took command in person, and besides a young scribe, he also brought a young general with him.

The young general's name is Gao Chong, and his style name is Shaoxian. He is from Qu'a, Yangzhou.It was originally a trilogy of Liu Yao's general Zhang Ying. After Liyang was destroyed, Gao Chong embraced Liu Yao's youngest son, fought his way out of the chaos, and defected to Jiujiang Yan Baihu.

Gao Chong and Yan Baihu have a friendship, so they also know Gao Chong's ability.

This man with a white horse and a silver gun can be regarded as a first-class hero in Liu Yao's army.It's a pity that Zhang Ying was jealous of the virtuous and capable, and suppressed Gao Chong's development.Later, in a great battle, Gao Chong rescued Liu Yao from the rebellious army, which was regarded as Liu Yao's eyes.Since then, Gao Chong has been Liu Yao's personal guard. Although he is highly valued, he has not been reused.

Yan Baihu recommended Gao Chong to Liu Bei.

Liu Bei, who was worried about the lack of generals around him, was extremely excited after being favored.

Regardless of the objections of Guan Yu and others, he insisted on keeping Gao Chong by his side.In fact, Gao Chong lived up to his high expectations.

This time, Liu Bei only led [-] troops, with Guan Ning and Guan Ping as the vanguard, Liu Quan as the rear army, and himself in the middle army.

Guan Ning Guan Ping, Guan Yu's adopted son, is not bad at martial arts.

And the young scholar who followed Liu Bei was Sima Lang's younger brother, Sima Yi who was known as the tomb tiger in the novel.

This Sima Yi took refuge in Liu Bei at the beginning of the year, and he was very favored by Liu Bei.

So I brought it with me, claiming that I have Sima Yi in literature and high favor in martial arts, that's enough!
In this meeting, Liu Bei ranked fifth.In terms of strength, it is not very strong, but it should not be underestimated by others.

As Liu Biao and Sun Ce lived in the south of the Yangtze River, they mostly had infantry in their hands.Each led 2 people to join the alliance.Speaking of it, the relationship between these two people is not harmonious, because there have been many conflicts over Jiangdong's ruling power.Sun Ce did not come, only Sun Quan was sent as a representative, but Zhou Yu was invited to assist Sun Quan.

Liu Biao led the army himself, besides Liao Li, there was also a young scribe.

The young man was nearly eight feet tall, and his appearance was very strange.Wearing a moon-white crane cloak, he stood proudly behind Liu Biao.Judging by his age, he looks about eighteen or nineteen years old.Gently shaking a folding fan in his hand, he is personable and extraordinarily chic.

The seven princes assembled an army of 40, and Chen Bing was in Jingzhao.

Cao Cao acted as the master and came out to greet everyone in person.After glancing at the people in the hall, he couldn't help sighing.

In this hall, there is youthfulness.

In addition to people like myself, there are half of the young people.Especially under Sun Ce's command, they are getting younger one by one.

"All the princes are heroes of the time, and now they are gathered together, and what they are doing is that Dong Xiping in Guanzhong."

Cao Cao still has to say: "Dong Bi's occupation of Guanzhong has become a serious problem for our Han Dynasty. If it cannot be eradicated as soon as possible and allowed to develop, it will definitely bring a lot of trouble to the Han Dynasty. Today's Dong Bi, It's like the strong Qin yesterday. We should join hands, abandon the past grievances, and suppress the national thieves together, and we have restored our Han Dynasty."

In fact, everyone here knows it!

The so-called Han Dynasty has long since ceased to exist, and now it is just an empty shell.

But who can tell?

In this hall, at least there are three parties representing the lineage of the Han Dynasty.Of course, Liu Bei's name doesn't sound good.

"What the prime minister said is absolutely true!"

Everyone said in unison.But how much sincerity is in the words is naturally another matter.

Cao Cao also knew very well that it was simply impossible for these people to work together.Everyone is sitting here today, to put it bluntly, for the benefit of the word.Tianxia Xixi came for fame, Tianxia Xixi left for profit, the ancients never deceived me!
Gongsun Kang, who sits at the bottom, is the son of Gongsundu. He is 29 years old and is now the prefect of Lelang.

Although this Gongsun Kang is young, he is quite capable.At the beginning of the year, when Gongsun Du and Fan Chou were anxious, it was Gongsun Kang who came up with an idea to marry Ma Han and join forces to attack Fan Chou, causing Fan Chou to be defeated and committing suicide in Lelang.

As for the people who got married, they were Mahan's princess and Gongsun Kang.

Gongsun Kang said: "What the prime minister said is very true. My father was not able to come because of his health. But before I set off, my father said that once the prime minister uses troops, he will cooperate with Youzhou and will definitely contain that city. Begging army, can't move half a minute."

Cao Cao also understood that this was the limit of what Gongsun Du could do now.

He won Youzhou not long ago, and Youzhou is a place of bitter cold. In the past ten years, there have been continuous wars.In addition, he had another fierce battle with Fan Chou. Although he was relieved of his future troubles, his vitality was seriously injured, and it was an important moment when he needed to recuperate.

The [-] troops dispatched this time is already the limit of Gongsun Du.

Moreover, it is a great thing for Cao Cao to be able to hold back the begging army...

Compared with Yuan Shang who was showing off his power with 15 soldiers and horses everywhere, Gongsun Du's sincerity undoubtedly made Cao Cao happier.After Yuan Shang heard Gongsun Kang finish speaking, his thin lips drew an arc, and the corners of his mouth rose slightly.

Obviously, he doesn't think highly of Gongsun Kang.

Among the seven princes, Gongsun Kang's background is probably the lowest.

Even Liu Bei, now bears the name of a county horse, and is also the surname of the country.Although there were some flaws in the early years, it is also said.Sun Ce and Cao Cao were born in a family of officials. Of course, Sun Ce's background is weaker in comparison.As for Liu Biao and Liu Zhang, the decent clan members of the Han family were the uncles of the Han Emperor, and the Yuan family was even more aristocratic.

If it wasn't for Jizhou, Yuan Shang didn't even want to be in the same palace with Gongsun Kang.

However, Gongsun Kang's contempt for Yuan Shang seemed very generous.After speaking, he smiled at Yuan Shang.

Yuan Shang said: "But I don't know what benefits we will gain after capturing Guanzhong this time?"

After saying a word, Jushou's face changed drastically, while Xu You had a sneer on his face.As for the others, their expressions were different.

Cao Cao frowned, "Nephew, where did you start with your words? We are all doing things for the emperor, so it's good to talk about it? This dispatch of troops is a conquest on behalf of the heavens. We only need to do a good job, and the emperor will naturally not Don't treat us badly. Don't say such rebellious words again. Gentlemen, for the sake of the general, Xianfu is young, so don't worry about it."

What is your Yuan Shang?
Even if your father is here, he still has to obediently call me prime minister.

Cao Cao's words were sarcasm and sarcasm, and by the way, he gave Yuan Shao a big face, and the princes were very satisfied with Cao Cao's attitude, especially Liu Biao and Liu Mao, two serious Han clansmen.

Liu Biao twirled his beard and smiled, "Meng De doesn't need to be warned, we were old friends when Benchu ​​and I were in Luoyang, how can we compare?"

In a word, Yuan Shang was directly placed in the seat of the junior.

That clearly meant to tell Yuan Shang: Nephew, here are all your elders, learn from that Sun Quan, and don't talk too much.

Yuan Shang was ashamed, and his face was flushed.

Ju Shou stood up and apologized again and again, "The prime minister will conquer on behalf of the heavens, and we will definitely obey the prime minister's dispatch."

Cao Cao smiled, "After tomorrow's alliance, we will attack Hangu Pass. Zhang Lu in Hanzhong did not obey the holy order in this alliance. It is a crime that cannot be forgiven. Youyu, Hanzhong was originally the territory of the Han Dynasty, and it should be controlled by Liu Yizhou sent troops to conquer."

That means: Hanzhong belongs to you!If you need help, we will act when the time comes.

Youyu is Liu Mao's character.After hearing this, he got up to thank him, and then sat upright, as if nothing had happened.

Cao Cao said again: "Tomorrow, we will meet at the alliance and be elected as the leader of the alliance. You can think about it tonight, and nominate at the alliance tomorrow."

"Exactly!"

"Okay, you must be tired after coming from a long distance. I ordered people to arrange a house in Luoyang, so it's better to rest early."

Everyone got up, said goodbye to each other, and walked out of the Jiade Hall.

Liu Biao and Liu Hao originally had real estate in Luoyang. After Cao Cao ordered people to clean it up, they returned to their original places.However, the Yuan family had already declined due to Yuan Kai's death, so Yuan Shang had to live in another courtyard. Except for his confidantes, everyone else returned to the barracks.

Wen Chou got on his horse outside Qingsuo Gate and was about to leave.

But Xu You pulled him suddenly, glanced back, and saw Liu Bei walking out accompanied by Sima Yi and Gao Chong.Liu Bei didn't speak when he saw Xu You and Wen Chou.He just smiled and nodded towards the two of them.

Wen Chou took a deep breath and nodded in return.

Since each other is no longer a system, Liu Bei is now more independent.At least on the surface, Xu You and Wen Chou are not too close.But judging from Liu Bei's actions, although his former friends have made great achievements, they have not forgotten themselves.

The stone in Xu You's heart was finally let go.

The future is long, if you get too close to Liu Bei, then Ju Shou will definitely notice.

The two followed Jushou to escort Yuan Shang home, and then went straight out of Luoyang City.Since it is impossible to live in the city, it is better to stay in the barracks.

That night, Luoyang was brightly lit...

In the barracks outside the city, the sound of horns and fights were constantly echoing, giving people a feeling of prosperity.

Liu Biao sat in the hall of the mansion, looking at the familiar scenery, feeling extremely nostalgic in his heart.Back then, he started from here and left Luoyang... After nearly ten years, he thought he would never come back to Luoyang, but unexpectedly...

Sighing faintly, Liu Biao closed his eyes.

In fact, he did not want to participate in this alliance.Whether it is the king of the Western Han Dynasty or the emperor of the Han Dynasty, they are all descendants of his Liu family.

No matter who wins, I'm afraid it will damage the dignity of the Han Dynasty.However, does this Han Dynasty still have dignity?
If I get involved this time, I'm afraid I won't be able to get out again.I want to leave a pure land for the Han family, but where is the pure land in this world?Liu Biao opened his eyes, stood up, and prepared to go to the bedroom to rest.old, really old...

At this time, a young general stepped into the living room.

Sheng has a good face, a dignified appearance, and a stalwart figure.

He cupped his hands and said, "My lord, someone outside asked to see me, saying that there is a relative from far away, and I have sent you a letter from home."
