Technology dominates the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 251 [Letter from Wenhe to Wenyou]

But at this moment, a little kid ran away from the camp and shouted to Sun Jian: "Father, I smell the aroma of wine, I want to drink this time!"

"Quan'er, don't mess around, don't you see that father has guests here? Hurry up and salute all uncles." Sun Jian glared at this cute and smart little son, his eyes were full of love.

Eight-year-old Sun Quan looked a little weak. He bowed his hands to Cao Cao, Gongsun Zan and others: "Sun Quan has met all of you uncles."

Ten days later, the allied forces of the princes arrived at Hulao Pass.

Zhang Ji, Wang Fang, Li Meng and others led the army to garrison at Hulao Pass, but they could not hold out.All attempts by the coalition forces to attack were blocked, and the two sides reached a stalemate.

At the same time, Luoyang City.

At this time, Luoyang City was almost an empty city, and the people in Luoyang City were basically forced to move to Chang'an City.

Today, Guo Si and Li Jue led the army to personally escort the emperor and all the officials to leave Luoyang for Chang'an.

"Military division, General Li Jue and General Guo Si have already left Luoyang City." A soldier came to report.

"Understood, you go down." Li Ru sat alone in the main hall, facing the cloudy sky outside the door.

On the desk in front of him was an exquisite wooden box and a bulging envelope.

The wooden box contained the Jade Seal of Chuanguo, and the letter was only received today. The letter was written by Jia Xu, and it was sent by Lu Bu through the [Luowang Tianyan] planted in the Central Plains, and the envelope had not been opened at this time.

Li Ru stays behind and wants to break the queen for Li Jue, Guo Si and others, and at the same time prepares to lay out a few chess moves, and Yuxi is one of the most important chess pieces.

After pondering for a moment, Li Ru picked up the envelope and looked at it curiously. It was the first time he saw such a thing, but he didn't know what it was.

Finding a dagger, Li Ru carefully cut a hole in the envelope, took out the letter inside, and a few small colorful papers (actually, they were the new coins provided to Lu Bu by the system, and they looked so beautiful!).

Jia Xu talked a lot and wrote ten letters.

The gist of the letter is this:
"Brother Wen You, long time no see, is everything okay? I don't think you can guess where I am now, and you don't know what I used to write to you, let alone that Lu Bu and the Bingzhou Army are now where"

"Now, I will explain to you one by one. This matter starts after Lu Bu assassinated Dong Zhuo. In the past half a year, earth-shaking changes have taken place. What I want to tell Brother Wen You is that I am now in Jiaozhou, and in Lu Bu's subordinates are doing things, and Lu Bu and his Bingzhou army have occupied Jiaozhou, and based on this, they are recharging their energy."

Seeing this, Li Ru's heart was pounding, he couldn't believe it, "Jia Xu probably wouldn't send a letter to fool himself, so what he said must be true. He and Lu Bu are in Jiaozhou now, it's unbelievable."

The more he looked, the more shocked he became, and the more curious he became, Li Ru took a deep breath and continued to look down.

"Next, let me tell Brother Wen You what Lu Bu did after he came to Jiaozhou. First of all, I should talk about me, Lu Bu, the Bingzhou Army, and the tens of thousands of refugees from [Shiyulin], which add up to more than ten It can be said that ten thousand people came to Jiaozhou from the sky, that is, in the blink of an eye, they came from Luoyang to Nanhai County in Jiaozhou. Thinking about it, it still seems like a dream.”

Li Ru held the letter and trembled, opened his eyes wide, opened his mouth wide, and said to himself: "How is this possible!"

Calming down, Li Ru continued to look down.

"Regardless of how we came to Jiaozhou, we may never understand it for the rest of our lives. So I won't say anything more. Believe it or not is up to you. The next thing I want to say is that after Lu Bu came to Jiaozhou, it took him a month. It quickly occupied the counties of Jiaozhou."

"Then, many strange and interesting things happened. Let me tell you about the things I use to write letters. Brother Wen You must know that Cai Lun paper can be used, and the paper I wrote to you is similar to this paper , but it is more convenient for writing, and it is cheaper. Now I use this paper to write and write books every day.”

"In addition, Lu Bu discovered a crop in Jiaozhou called [sweet potato]. It is said that it can produce about [-] shi per mu, and it can be eaten as food after harvesting. Now it is planted everywhere in Jiaozhou, and it is almost time to harvest."

"Also, Lu Bu ordered someone to brew a new kind of wine, which is very mellow and strong, unprecedented. I really hope that Brother Wen You can come to Jiaozhou to taste this fine wine."

"In addition, there are meat buns made of flour, steamed buns, dumplings, and Xiaolongbao, all of which are very delicious."

"As for the small colorful papers I put in the envelope, they are actually a new coin issued by Lu Bu in Jiaozhou. It is named: Huaxia Coin, which is very popular among the people of Jiaozhou."

Li Ru picked up a few Huaxia coins that he took out from the envelope, and they looked very nice, "It's really unbelievable that these coins are actually made of paper!"

At the end of the letter, Jia Xu invited Li Ru to Jiaozhou, and told Li Ru that Lu Bu himself very much hoped that he would come to Jiaozhou.

At the same time, I mentioned a suggestion from Lu Bu to Li Ru in my heart: the Han Dynasty is exhausted, and there is no need for the emperor to exist!
Li Ru understood the meaning of this sentence, and also understood Lu Bu's intention, which was to let the emperor die unexpectedly, so that the Central Plains would be completely chaotic, and Lu Bu could also take the opportunity to enter the Central Plains and compete with the Central Plains princes for the world.

Li Ru didn't think about taking the life of the emperor; Li Ru thought about whether to go to Jiaozhou, but he felt that he hadn't reached that point yet. He still had hope for Li Jue and Guo Si, and at the same time, he was unwilling.
Putting away the letter and a few Huaxia coins, Li Ru let out a deep breath, got up and walked outside.

He was going to the imperial palace in Luoyang and hid the jade seal in a secret but accessible place. This was a great gift he was going to give to the princes of the Central Plains.

At the same time, the letter that Li Ru sent to Hulao Pass earlier has now been sent to Zhang Ji at Hulao Pass.

"The military adviser's letter, what did you say, and what are the arrangements?" Li Meng asked hurriedly while standing aside.

Zhang Ji handed the letter to Li Meng, and then gave an order to the other generals present: "The whole army has listened, immediately summon all the soldiers of the army, and secretly withdraw from Hulao Pass tonight and head to Chang'an!"

This is Li Ru's order to Zhang Ji.

In the middle of the night that day, flames burst out everywhere in Luoyang City, getting bigger and bigger.

Standing on the mountain outside the city, Li Ru looked at Luoyang City from a distance, with a blank expression on his face, because he was the one who set the fire on fire, and this was the second big gift he had prepared for the princes.

Afterwards, he led thousands of troops to station in the forest outside the city, waiting for Zhang Ji and the others to withdraw, and then retreated to Chang'an City together.

"Jiaozhou, Lu Bu, maybe we will never meet again. Maybe we will still be enemies when we meet."

Li Ru stood outside the tent, looking to the south, feeling sad and lonely.
