Emperor of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 257 Liu Biao's Change

"What Zhong Da said is very true!" Li Song agreed, "Zhang Xiu is indeed suitable to be the prefect of Nanyang County, so let him go back to Wancheng, and save me from worrying about the prefect of this county." After Li Song finished speaking, he continued to catch his fish.

On both sides of the story, Li Song and Sima Yi went outing and fishing in the outskirts of Xuchang, while on the side of Xuchang City...

"Drive!" A roll of yellow dust billowed, and the steed came galloping. The man on the horse swung his whip to urge the horse under his crotch. The three red flags behind the man ran fast with the horse, dancing in the air like flames.

"Hurry up for [-] miles! Hurry up for [-] miles!" The horse quickly passed through the gate of Xuchang City and galloped towards Tiance Mansion, and the man on the horse shouted loudly.

The horse galloped all the way to Tiance Mansion with the post soldiers on its back. The post soldiers pulled the reins, and before the horse stopped, they hurriedly jumped off the horse.

He ran towards Tiance Mansion, shouting as he ran: "Hurry up for eight hundred miles! Hurry up for eight hundred miles!" He quickly entered through the heavily guarded gate, but no one dared to stop him.

"Where did you get the [-]-mile rush?" The postman who sent the information went towards a place with ease, and sent the information to the place where it was supposed to go, but was stopped by Xu Maogong on the way and asked to go there, Xu Maogong asked road.

"My lord! It's an urgent document from eight hundred miles to the south, and the little one came all the way from the south, day and night." The postman said.

"Look at you, go down and rest first!" Xu Maogong looked at the exhausted expression of the post soldier and asked someone to take the post soldier down to rest. He immediately went to Li Song with the information. After all, the information from the south was inevitable. It has something to do with Liu Biao, since it took [-] miles to deliver the information, it is enough to see the urgency of the situation.

"Returning to your lord, the prime minister and Yilang Sima Yi went out of the city to play in the countryside early in the morning, and I'm afraid they won't be able to come back for a while."

Xu Maogong searched for a long time before he learned of Li Song's whereabouts from a personal guard of the Prime Minister's Mansion.

"Where is the suburb of Xuchang?" Xu Maogong asked.

"Returning to my lord, I don't know about the lowly position! I only know that Commander Xu prepared two sets of fishing equipment, and presumably went fishing in the outskirts of Xuchang." The guard said.

"Prepare the horse quickly, and go to find the prime minister with me, especially where there is water, the sooner the better! I have an urgent military matter to report to the prime minister, if it is delayed, you and I will have to move our heads." Xu Maogong scolded Qin Wei.

"No!" The personal guard hurriedly saluted and responded, and hurriedly went down to prepare the horse, not daring to delay at all, judging from Xu Maogong's tone, the matter should be quite difficult.

The personal guards were also quick in handling affairs, and in a short while the horses were ready, and they went out of the city with Xu Maogong to find the whereabouts of Li Song and others.

On the outskirts of Xuchang, Li Song and Sima Yi chatted while fishing. They didn't talk about major world affairs or important military affairs. They were full of short-sighted gossip from parents. After the guards, they left directly.

Suddenly, there was the sound of horseshoes from a distance, and it seemed that they were coming towards them, Li Song turned to Xu Chu and said, "Zhongkang, go and see where the horses come from, don't let people startle me, Zhongda is fishing here. "

"No! I will order someone to check it now." Xu Chu clasped his fists and saluted. He turned his head and told the guards who were on guard to wink.

"Stop coming! Who dares to disturb my Patriarch, Shang Yaxing, and retreat quickly." The guard ran forward quickly, and when he saw someone approaching on horseback, he immediately opened his mouth and said.

"Wow!" The visitor stopped the horse in front of them, Xu Maogong said: "It's me! Is the prime minister here?"

"It turned out to be Mr. Xu! The prime minister is fishing with Sima Yilang in front to discuss matters." After the guard recognized Xu Maogong, he said respectfully, and one of them left quickly and went back to report to Li Song.

"Oh! Discussion? What are you discussing? It's not in the Tiance Mansion or the Prime Minister's Mansion, but in this beautiful place." Xu Mao said fairly.

"This... humble job is just a personal guard, responsible for protecting the prime minister's safety, how can he know what the prime minister is discussing with Yi Lang." The personal guard said.

"Hurry up and lead me to meet the prime minister. I have important military matters to discuss with the prime minister." Xu Maogong stopped wrangling with this personal guard and let him lead the way.

"No! Please dismount Master Guang Luxun and go to meet the prime minister with your humble post." The guard saluted respectfully and responded, and after making the invitation sideways, he led the way and led Xu Maogong to meet Li Song.

"Lead the way ahead!" Xu Maogong got off his horse, adjusted his clothes, and let the guard who had spoken just now lead the way. The guard turned and walked in front, leading Xu Maogong to meet Li Song.

The personal guard who came back one step ahead was in Xu Chu's ear and told Xu Chu the situation. Xu Chu immediately stepped forward to report the fact that Xu Maogong had come to Li Song.

"Oh! Master Guang Luxun is here?" Li Song turned back and asked Xu Chu.

"That's right! Lord Guang Luxun Xu Maogong is coming here, saying that he has important military affairs to discuss with the prime minister." Xu Chu immediately reported to Li Songhui after hearing what the guards said.

"What important matter does Guang Luxun have to discuss with me?" Li Song asked suspiciously, he really didn't understand what important matter Xu Maogong, Guang Luxun, could have to discuss with him.

One of the Nine Ministers of Guang Lu Xun. His duty is to lead all affairs in the palace. He is the emperor's adviser, councilor, guard and attendant, and officials such as conveying hospitality. He lives in the forbidden area and is close to the emperor. His status is very important. To put it bluntly, he is the emperor's Steward of the court.

For such an important position, it is natural to arrange for someone you trust to take it. Otherwise, if you fall to Han Xiandi, you will be in trouble, so Li Song asked Xu Maogong to sit in this position. Xu Maogong is not only the emperor's court chief , is also the general manager of his Tiance Mansion, and at the same time manages the intelligence department of the Tiance Mansion.

This is where Li Song was puzzled. Could it be that something happened in the palace?But he felt wrong, if something happened in the palace, he should have known about it long ago, and Xu Maogong needed to go there.

Since it wasn't, could it be that something went wrong in the south or north that made him, the chief executive, rush over to discuss with him.Li Song thought to himself.

After trying to figure out what was going on, Li Song turned his head to Sima Yi and said, "Zhongda! Since Guang Luxun is here, you can follow me to meet him."

Sima Yi bowed his hands and said: "Everything is according to the prime minister's orders."

While speaking, Xu Maogong came to Li Song under the guidance of his personal guards, bowed his hands to Li Song and said: "I have seen the prime minister!"

"Subordinate Sima Yi, I have met Guang Luxun!" Sima Yi stepped forward and bowed his hands. No matter what, he, Sima Yi, was Guang Luxun's subordinate and subordinate, so he naturally wanted to salute Xu Maogong, the superior. Xu Maogong did not put on the superior Putting on airs, he bowed his hands to Sima Yi in return.

"Maogong, I caught two big fish today. I ordered the cook to make a whole fish feast, and you can come to my prime minister's mansion for dinner at noon." Li Song smiled slightly, although he really wanted to know what important business Xu Maogong had. Discuss with him, but he is not in a hurry to ask.
