The Three Kingdoms: The Cold Gate World

Chapter 17
As soon as the emperor's edict came out, the world was shaken. No one could have imagined that the Yellow Turban Bandits would force Luoyang to overthrow the Han Dynasty.

Zhao said that when he arrived in Liangzhou, a man rushed in outside the big tent of the Xiliang garrison. what."

Sitting in the seat of the big account commander was a rough and strong general with a big arm and a round waist. He put down his military book and asked in a strange voice, "What's the big deal?"

Li Ru presented the Emperor's Edict in his hand on several cases, stretched out his hand to caress his small mustache, his eyes became more and more joyful, and when the brave general was still reading the Emperor's Edict, he interjected, "Father-in-law, ah no, General, now is a good time to make contributions, as long as you lead troops into the customs to break the siege of Luoyang, the emperor will not be able to promote you to the official position."

Li Ru's father-in-law is naturally Xiliang warlord Dong Zhuo.

At this time, Dong Zhuo would also feel sorry, and said with a smile: "That's very good!"

Unexpectedly, Li Ru smiled mysteriously and said, "General, I have something to say. If you can hear it, then listen to it. If you can't, just pretend you haven't heard it."

Dong Zhuo was taken aback for a moment, knowing that his loyal and intelligent son-in-law had a plan to come out, so he asked solemnly in a low voice: "Please tell me."

"When the siege of Luoyang is resolved, it is enough to build momentum and self-preservation is the top priority. When the dust settles and Luoyang has few soldiers, the general can lead the army to control the imperial capital. If nothing can be done, he will be appointed as an official and return to Xiliang."

As soon as Li Ru's words fell, Dong Zhuo understood. He stared at Li Ru with a startled face and said in a deep voice, "You mean, if Luoyang is empty after the chaos is over, I will take down the imperial capital and order the world? This, this, it's down." It’s not impossible. But if I’m not sure, why should I return to Xiliang? Can’t I stay in Luoyang and wait and see the situation?”

Li Ru shook his head solemnly, and said: "The political situation in the imperial capital is treacherous. If the general is not sure that he can win the battle, he should return to Xiliang. Think about it, in the imperial capital, there are generals, ten permanent attendants, and court officials. Senior gentry, even if you have done a great job in saving him, after a long time, will the emperor still take it to heart? General, to be honest, no one in the court can match you when it comes to marching and fighting, but if you want to play tricks, you, I'm afraid it's not the eunuchs and those old foxes who are scheming and calculating that the city is bottomless."

After thinking about it, Dong Zhuo felt that what his son-in-law said was very reasonable, so he ordered the army to rest for three days and enter the customs to rescue him.

At this time, the wind was surging, and the heroes of the world who wanted to make contributions and become famous all over the world joined the rebel army recruited by various states and counties.

On the official road in Youzhou, Governor Liu Yan led his troops to rush towards Luoyang, and behind his troops, the three people in the lead followed closely behind with three thousand rebels.

The three men who led the rebel army knew at a glance that they were not ordinary people, they were the three brothers Liu Guan and Zhang who were so heroic and heroic.

But on the official road leading to the north of Yangzhou, nearly a thousand cavalry galloped on horseback, the leader was a heroic general, and there was another cavalry beside him, and the one on the horse was a ten-year-old boy with a resolute and majestic face.

At this time, the young man pulled the rein in one hand and rode the horse, at a very fast speed, keeping pace with the middle-aged hero next to him. At the same time, the young man held up a banner with a large and eye-catching character embroidered on it with the other hand: Sun!
"Father, let's go to Luoyang, after we kill all the yellow scarves, can father become a high official?" The young man who was speeding like lightning shouted loudly to the side.

But the middle-aged hero looked up to the sky and laughed endlessly. He proudly looked at the ten-year-old boy, and said with great pride: "Going to Luoyang this time is a god-given opportunity for me to show my glory in Jiangdong. After the rebels give their heads, In order to be a father, I asked the court for a prefect of Wu County to be Dangdang."

The young man turned his head, dissatisfied, and shouted angrily: "My father, Sun Ce, how can he only be the prefect of a county? Either he is a general in charge of the world's troops, or at least the governor of Yangzhou. Otherwise, just turn around and return home.”

The middle-aged Xiao general laughed wildly after hearing this, and said loudly: "I, Sun Jian, have such a son, this life is enough."

Such heroes as Xiliang Warlord Dong Zhongying, Jiangdong Tiger Sun Wentai, and Xiong Hu Meng Liu Guanzhang gathered in Luoyang from all directions.

And there are many people who are in a dilemma with the emperor's edict, such as the Zhen family.

Zhongshan Kingdom is located in the northern part of Jizhou. Zhang Jiao led the Yellow Turban Army to attack Luoyang to the west. Zhongshan Kingdom was not attacked by the main force of the Yellow Turban Army, but the Taipingdao rebellion affected the whole body. Fortunately, the Zhen family was well prepared. Zhen Yan, who served as the prefect, commanded Ruoding. After quelling the five riots in Zhongshan, the subordinate areas were not affected by the war.

"Brother, do you think we should send troops? If we send troops, we have less than [-] troops. We can barely protect ourselves. If we send troops to Luoyang, if there is another riot, the consequences will be disastrous. But if we don't send troops, the emperor will blame us in the future We may not be able to take on it." Zhen Yan returned home to discuss with her brothers, their father Zhen Yi was sick in bed, even though it was such a major event, he did not want to disturb his father's rest.

Zhen Yu hesitated after looking at the emperor's edict for a long time. It is a fact that Zhongshan has no strong troops to help Luoyang.But the power of the sky is unpredictable, if the fatuous emperor who regards money as his life makes trouble afterwards, the Zhen family will fall into a land of eternal doom.

When the two elder brothers were both sad, the third younger brother Zhen Yao smiled and said confidently: "You two brothers, don't worry. We don't need to send troops. We can report the situation to the governor of Jizhou afterwards. If you are still not at ease, Bringing gold, silver and jewels to Luoyang to present to the emperor, the emperor will definitely not blame the Zhen family, not to mention the rebellion of the Taiping Dao, the court's vitality is seriously damaged, even if the emperor wants to blame the prefect of the state and county who did not send troops to Luoyang, I am afraid he will not dare to blame. Now that there are endless rebellions in various places, the imperial court must appease the officials everywhere, otherwise, once the officials are forced to collude with the rebels, the emperor will be even more disturbed."

After hearing the third brother's analysis, both Zhen Yu and Zhen Yan smiled, and Zhen Yan even praised: "The third brother is not only much calmer than before, but his knowledge and insight have improved rapidly."

Zhen Yao waved his hands modestly and said: "This is all thanks to Feng Xiao. It's a pity that Feng Xiao has only lived in my Zhen family for half a year. If he can live longer, there will be a way to resolve many unresolved puzzles."

Zhen Yu and Zhen Yan looked at each other and smiled, and couldn't help thinking: What is Feng Xiao doing now?

Yingchuan
Now that the soldiers are in chaos, the news that the Yellow Turban soldiers are forcing Luoyang has spread nearby, and Yingchuan extends in all directions. Pack up and prepare to take refuge in a nearby city.

Putting two bags of grain on the wooden cart carrying grain from his shoulders, Guo Jia wiped the sweat from his forehead, the young man who carried the grain with him couldn't bear it, and persuaded: "Little grandpa, you'd better go to rest, this time Just leave the rough work to us."

"Go, go, I'm still three years older than you. I can't do the physical work you can do? If it's a martial arts competition, I'll knock you down with ten strokes. If I leave, you must be lazy, don't try to fool me ,hey-hey."

Guo Jia's kind joke made the surrounding teenagers smile and warm their hearts.

At this moment, Xi Zhicai came running panting from a distance, and said, "Feng Xiao, someone from the Xun family invited you to Yingchuan Academy, saying that they have something important to discuss."

After pondering for a moment, Guo Jia asked, "The Xun family? Didn't Wen Ruo go to Luoyang?"

Xi Zhicai nodded and said: "Taiping Dao rebelled, the emperor lifted the party's restraint, Wen Ruo's uncle Xun Shuang took Wen Ruo and You Ruo to Luoyang to share the emperor's worries, and now the Xun family is Wen Ruo's third brother Xun Yanxun If Hugh is presiding over an important event, the invitation is sent in his name."

Guo Jia couldn't help but pay attention to it now. Eight of Xun Yu's uncles were known as the Eight Dragons of the Xun family, and Xun Shuang was the sixth. At that time, there was a comment that "Xun's eight dragons are unparalleled in compassion", and Ciming is Xun Shuang's nickname.

But in Xun Yu's generation, the Xun family is still full of outstanding people. Naturally, Xun Yu, the king's talent, is not mentioned, and his brothers and nephews are all outstanding people, such as Xun Yan, Xun Yue, Xun Chen, and now Xun You, who had already served as the servant of the Huangmen under the tent of General He Jin.

If it was an invitation from Yingchuan's famous family who didn't deserve the name, Guo Jia would definitely refuse, but Xun Yan's invitation, he couldn't refuse, and he expected something big to happen.

Xu Shu was worried that the chaos of the world would harm his mother, so he returned home to protect her mother. Therefore, after Guo Jia handed over the heavy burden to Zuo Ci, who had a crooked mouth, he and Xi Zhicai rode fast horses to Yingchuan Academy.

Hurriedly rushed to Yingchuan Academy, the servants of the Xun family who had been waiting for a long time introduced Guo Jia and Xi Zhicai into a school, Guo Jia who had just stepped into the room was obviously taken aback, because there were many people sitting in the room, who had been with him before All the rich and famous families in Yingchuan whom he met face to face had their children sitting in the house.

Xun Yan stood up to greet them, leading Guo Jia and Xi Zhicai from left to right, sighing as he walked in, "Feng Xiao and Zhicai are looking forward to you. Please sit down quickly."

After sitting down, Xun Yan introduced the people in the room one by one. Guo Jia had no interest in those rich and noble families, and the children of the aristocratic family also looked indifferent to Guo Jia and Xi Zhicai, and even showed disdain in their expressions.

"I'm Chen Qun, who has a long prose and has long heard of being filial, benevolent, benevolent, and talented. It's a blessing to see you now." After the elegant and suave young man bowed to Guo Jia, he did the same to Xi Zhicai A salute.

Guo Jia looked at the young man who was not a few years older than himself in front of him, and his heart was overwhelmed. He didn't expect to see this future minister of Cao Wei's auxiliary country today, and immediately replied: "Chang Wen is absurdly praised, how can Feng Xiao and his virtue be a good man?" With the four characters of benevolence, morality and wisdom, today I am fortunate to meet such a talented person as Changwen, it is an honor."

The whole room looked sideways, who didn't know that Guo Jiaqing was arrogant?Who doesn't know that Guo Jia's eyes are high and his eyes are empty, why is he showing such a humble attitude towards a child from a family he just met today?
The children of the aristocratic family naturally despised him in his heart, but Xun Yan looked at Guo Jia with deep meaning in his eyes for a long time, and he was also amazed in his heart that Guo Jia's eyes were vicious, and he could tell who was the real talent and learning when they met for the first time?Who is the vain man?
Putting aside these doubts for the time being, Xun Yan waited for everyone to get to know each other, his complexion sank, and he said seriously: "Everyone, according to reports from my Xun family's children who went out to inquire about news, the Yellow Turban Bandit Bocai, who led an army of [-] to Luoyang, recently Suddenly, [-] troops were divided, and he personally led them to march towards Yingchuan."

The audience was in an uproar, only Chen Qun, Guo Jia, and Xi Zhicai were the only ones who didn't change their faces.

Chen Qun was observing Guo Jia's reaction, but Guo Jia was thinking: Why did Bo Cai come to Yingchuan?Without Huangfusong's army in history, who can stop Bocai's tens of thousands of people?
