Chapter 360 Tongguan

"Lord Gongsun will be the feudal official of the imperial court in the future. He must share more worries for your majesty." Seeing that Gongsun Zan was respectful to him, Cao Yin was obviously very useful. After passing the imperial edict, he walked into Gongsun Zan and encouraged him.

"This naturally, please ask the angel to turn to your majesty and say that although Gongsun Zan is on the border, he dares not miss the greatness of our emperor all the time. Gongsun Zan's life is our emperor's. If the emperor has any order, Gongsun Zan will definitely do his best. As long as my emperor orders, Gongsun Zan will never refuse." Seeing Cao Yin encouraging himself, Gongsun Zan knew that the Duke Cao had already had a good impression on him and quickly expressed his loyalty. Although Gongsun Zun may not be so loyal in his heart, this performance is only good for Gongsun Zun's image, but not bad.

Just as Gongsun Zan greeted Cao Yin, Liu Bei quietly called Guan Yu and Zhang Fei together to discuss whether to go to Chang'an with Cao Yin.

"Brother, you have the heart to serve the country. My second brother and I both know this, but what the eunuch said may not be credible. If the eldest brother follows the eunuch like this, I'm afraid he will be laughed at." After listening to Liu Bei's talk about the cause and effect of the matter, Zhang Fei first came out against it. Zhang Fei was originally jealous of evil. Now when he saw that Liu Bei actually believed in the words of a dead eunuch, he naturally stood up against it.

"What do you think, second brother?" Zhang Fei's work has always been based on subjective assumptions. Liu Bei also turned a blind eye to Zhang Fei's words and listened to them, so he asked about.

"Brother, what do you think?" Although Guan Yu didn't want to get involved with the eunuch, since Liu Bei said this question to the two seriously, it means that Liu Bei had some plans, so Guan Yu asked Liu Bei, hoping to make a decision after seeing the matter more thoroughly.

"Then let me tell you what I mean. Since the ten permanent servants have been in turmoil, I, Liu Bei, have hated the eunuchs as much as the two of you. I also understand that the reason why Cao Yin has won us is to make us a party member with him." Liu Bei took a deep breath before saying.

"Since the eldest brother knows this, why do you still need to discuss this matter? I don't think we need to pay attention to that one at all. Hearing Liu Bei's words, Zhang Fei continued to shout.

"Third brother, don't worry, let the eldest brother finish the words." After glancing at Zhang Fei, Guan Yu said. Compared with Zhang Fei, Guan Yu knew Liu Bei better. Liu Bei said these words not that he didn't want to go to Chang'an, but just wanted to tell them that Liu Bei had thought about these things.

"Two brothers, although I, Liu Bei, disdain to be with the eunuchs, some of what Cao Yin said is indeed true, that is, now the princes rise together and the court is weak. Since I, Liu Bei, have taken supporting the Han Dynasty as its own responsibility. If today's court is weak and the princes govern separately, if I don't help the court, How is Yu Xin's peace? What's more, this time Wang Situ killed Dong Zhuo. The internal and external difficulties of the imperial court are at the time of employing people. We loyal and righteous people do not serve the imperial court at this time, and when will we wait? Although I have some contact with Cao Yin, our brother's trip is to contribute to your majesty, not for the eunuchs. Why do we care about some rumors? As long as our brothers can make achievements and get the approval of the emperor, are we afraid that they can't be famous all over the world? So I mean, we should go to Chang'an for both public and private. After saying this, Liu Bei looked at Guan Yu and Zhang Feiqi. Liu Bei knew that with these words, they should have nothing to object to. However, there is another reason why Liu Bei did not say it, that is, Yuan Shaogong and Sun Zan, who fought against Dong Zhuo with him, had become the state herdsman of the Han Dynasty at this time. I heard that Cao Cao had also entered Yanzhou and become the actual Yanzhou herdsman. There are also rumors that Lv Bu had occupied Xiliang, and he Liu Bei revolted from the yellow scarf. Up to now, after so many ups and downs, what have you got now? It's just a small Pingyuan county magistrate, 3,000 people and this is still Gongsun Zan who saw that he was pitiful, so he sent a plain to himself. Otherwise, I'm afraid Liu Bei is just a gangster under the fence.

Of course, these are not enough to make Liu Bei go to Chang'an. What really makes Liu Bei make up his mind is Liu Biao's business. In those years, Liu Biao was just a little famous, but Liu Biao, relying on his reputation and the status of the royal family, he easily got a position of Jingzhou herdsman. You should know that the nine counties of Jingzhou are vast and rich in production, which is a must-have place for soldiers. However, Liu Biao can have it with these two points, so Liu Bei is What can't be done?

After thinking about it, Liu Bei thinks that the best way to gain fame and prestige is to go to Chang'an to accompany him. As long as he is by the emperor's side, there will be many opportunities to gain prestige. Compared with nesting in the plain, he doesn't know how much stronger it is. Of course, it is not enough to have a reputation. Liu Bei has another idea in his mind, which is to put his identity as a royal relative. You should know that the identity of this royal relative can't be said casually. There must be a genealogy to prove it. Although Liu Bei has always said that he is a royal relative, it can only be regarded as a copycat version. It must be that this is not recognized by the royal family, let alone the royal genealogy to prove it, and one of the purposes of Liu Bei wants to go to Chang'an. It depends on whether there is a chance to recognize the emperor's marriage. As long as he realizes his identity as a royal relative, Liu Bei's future will be much more spacious. At that time, Liu Bei was not only about a fierce general like Yu and Zhang Fei, but also a royal relative. Naturally, he represented great righteousness and would do things much more smoothly. I think that Zhang Mio can invite Cao Cao to govern Yanzhou, and Liu Biao can enter Jingzhou with a three-inch tongue, so it is not far away that Liu Bei has a world that can be used.

"Big brother is right. The country is in trouble. We and other men should serve the country. If the court needs it, how can we stand by." After listening to Liu Bei's words, he stood up and said about Huo. As a man, who doesn't want to respect his ancestors? In his early years, Guan Yu was exiled in the world because of killing people. Although he has made some achievements with Liu Bei, this is a small pity compared with Guan Yu's revenge. Going to Chang'an is different. About the subconscious feeling that there is much to do, especially the last war with Lv Bu, although he lost, but In this regard, Guan Yu also knew Lv Bu's ability to be the first in the world, and what that battle brought Guan Yu was not discouragement or frustration, but confidence. The reason is very simple. Before fighting with Lv Bu, although Guan Yu regarded himself highly, he did not know what kind of general he was in this big man. Until he defeated Huaxiong and fought against Lv Bu, he knew that he and Zhang Fei were the first-class generals in the world. Although he was not as good as Lv Bu, he was a rare opponent under Lv Bu. Guan Yu had been a little depressed for a long time because he didn't go to Chang'an, but nestled in the small county on the plain. At this time, after listening to Liu Bei's words, he immediately agreed.

"Hey hey, after listening to what the eldest brother said, I, Lao Zhang, also want to go to Chang'an to see the world. My husband was born in heaven and earth. How can he stay in this small plain all the time? I just don't know if I can meet Lv Bu on this trip. I still want to have a deal with him. When Liu Bei said this, Zhang Fei was also very moved, but in contrast, Zhang Fei valued whether there was a good opponent.

While Liu Bei persuaded Guan Yu and Zhang Fei to go to Chang'an together, thousands of miles away from Tongguan, dozens of carriages were on their way in a row, and there were dozens of knights guarding next to the carriage. This group of people was not someone else but the convoy of Zhang Linger and Xun family.

"Holy aunt, the front is about to arrive at Tongguan. The little one has sent someone to inquire about it. The general of Tongguan is the first fierce general under Dong Zhuo in those years." Pei Yuanshao came to the front carriage and bowed to the inside and said. This carriage was taken by Zhang Linger. It turned out that in order to hide her identity, Zhang Linger's name was Zhang Kai. The woman disguised as a man had always been riding a horse, but Zhang Ling'er must have been her daughter, who could withstand the fatigue of riding a horse. It didn't take long for people to buy a carriage to hide in the carriage.

"Huaxiong? In those years, the reason why Brother Lv Bu didn't want to get too close to Hua Xiong was that he didn't want to arouse Dong Zhuo's nerves. Now that Brother Lv Bu has Liangzhou, Dong Zhuo has also returned to the west, but he should also subdue Hua Xiong. After listening to Pei Yuanshao's words, Zhang Linger moved slightly and thought of a lot of things. Although Zhang Linger has been in the mountains these years, she is still very careful about Lv Bu's every move. It's just that the news in the mountain is blocked, and many things are not clear. However, since she came out of the mountain, Zhang Linger has asked people to inquire about what Lv Bu has done over the years. In addition, Zhang Linger Lingxue is smart. Lv Bu has mastered a lot of things. At that time, Lv Bu saved Hua Xiong, and Hua Xiong was very grateful to Lv Bu later. Naturally, he could not escape Zhang Linger's pursuit.

"Well, aunt, this is not good. We have already done the affairs of the Xun family. Now, it's better not to make a fuss." As soon as he heard that Zhang Linger wanted to subdue Hua Xiong for Lv Bu, Pei Yuanshao was already full of black lines and annoyed. He secretly regretted why he told Zhang Linger about Hua Xiong stationing Tongguan, but Pei Yuanshao seemed to be too late to regret now.

"Hee hee, Xiao Pei, this is your fault. Don't forget that we came here this time and lied to the Xun family that we would take them to Chang'an. This Chang'an is the place of Wang Yun and Ma Teng. Do you think these dozens of people under you can safely tie so many people from the Xun family to Liangzhou?" Hearing Pei Yuanshao's hesitation, Zhang Linger smiled and gave Pei Yuanshao a difficult problem.

Pei Yuanshao must have only dozens of people under him. With the obedient cooperation of the Xun family, these dozens of people are already overstretched to escort these dozens of carriages. These days, thanks to the help of some Xun's family, although they met several waves of mountain thieves along the way, they were still shocked, but once they arrived in Chang'an, they could rely on It is naturally impossible for Pei Yuanshao to forcibly pull the Xun family to Liangzhou. Moreover, Chang'an is Wang Yun's territory. If there is any wind, I'm afraid that no one can leave alive. In this way, Pei Yuanshao does not feel the sweat oozing out of his forehead.

"Sister-in-law, didn't you say that you had already figured out a countermeasure?" Thinking of this, Pei Yuanshao looked at Zhang Linger pitifully and said. When he came here before, Zhang Linger sworely that he had figured out all the countermeasures.

"Yes, my countermeasure is to persuade Hua Xiong for Brother Lv Bu, and then ask Hua Xiong to lead the troops to escort us to Liangzhou. However, how to arrange this matter requires some brainstorming. Zhang Linger's eyes turned and began to calculate again, and Pei Yuanshao could only leave knowingly.

Guan Nei Huaxiong sat in the main seat, his eyes closed slightly, as if he was thinking about something. At Hua Xiong's hand, a young general reached out and knocked on the table next to him, but his eyes looked at Hua Xiong with an anxious look.

"General Hua Xiong, I don't know what you are thinking about. This time, Wang Yun attacked the two generals of Li Yu and Guo Yan, obviously to clean up the old departments of our prime ministers. As the prime minister, General Hua Xiong is the first fierce general under the prime minister, how can Wang Yun tolerate the general? At this time, he did not turn over with the general. The face is just that he wants to deal with the general after cleaning up the two generals Li Yu and Guo Yan. Can't the general even see this clearly? Looking at Hua Xiong hanging up high, the young general said anxiously.

"Well, the Prime Minister is no longer here, and my heart is cold. I don't want to participate in these fearless battles anymore. The reason why I came to Tongguan is to avoid these storms and downs. General Zhang Xiu, I don't think you should bother any more. I don't want to participate in the war between you and the court." After thinking about it, Hua Xiong finally opened his eyes and said.

It turned out that this young general was Zhang Ji's nephew Zhang Xiu. This time, he came to Tongguan under the order of Li Wei and Guo Yan to attract Hua Xiong and fight against Wang Yun with them.

Since Dong Zhuo's death, Hua Xiong has no goal of fighting. He wants Hua Xiong to turn to the court. Hua Xiong can't believe in Wang Yun's gang. He must have been first-class obedient under Dong Zhuo. In the end, he didn't kill Dong Zhuo in the same way. As for helping Li Wei and let them rise to power, Hua Xiong is even less interested. What is Li Wei Guo Wei? As the first general of Xiliang, Hua Xixiong still disdains to work for them, but where should Hua Xiong go in the future? Hua Xiong didn't think about it. In fact, after knowing the news of Dong Zhuo's murder, Hua Xiong has been thinking about this problem. After thinking about it, Hua Xiong still wants to follow Lv Bu, but Hua Xiong, as the first general in Xiliang, also wants face. He can't rush to find Lv Bu like this. Anyway, Hua Xiong is also the number one. Character, so Hua Xiong has been waiting for Lv Bu's call. It's just that there has been no news from Lv Bu for such a long time. Sometimes Hua Xiong also thinks that there is no need for Lv Bu to invite himself out of the mountain, but he has been waiting for so long, but it is not good to rush to find Lv Bu like this.

"General Hua Xiong, you'd better think about it. General Li and General Guo have said that as long as the general is willing to cooperate with us, even if the general does not produce a soldier, as long as he fights the Qingjun side and destroys Wang Yun in the future, the high-ranking officials will be selected by General Hua." Seeing that Hua Xiong was not moved, Zhang Xiu could only use his last move to lure Hua Xiong with high-ranking officials.

Hearing Zhang Xiu's words, a flash of light finally flashed in Hua Xiong's eyes, but this light completely dissipated after a flash. Who can not be moved in the face of high-ranking officials? Hua Xiong has the same seven emotions and six desires, and he will naturally be moved. However, Hua Xiong, who came back from the death line, knows more. Since he escaped from death under Guan Yu's knife, Hua Xiong has not only made progress in martial arts, but more importantly, he is a little different in looking at problems. The high-ranking official Houlu promised by Zhang Xiu just now, if Hua Xiong agreed in the past, but now Hua Xiong thinks that no matter what the ** conditions are, he must be famous and enjoy. Wang Yun was so resourceful that he finally killed Dong Zhuo, but he still led Chang'an to the war. Let's not talk about the victory or defeat of the war between Wang Yun and Li and Guo Wei. Even if Li and Guo Wei won, can the temperament of these two people last for a long time? The world is as smooth as Wang Yun. Once he gains power, he will also be hot-headed. If he wants to destroy Li Yu and Guo Yan with Chang's troops of Chang'an, let alone once Li Yu and Guo Yan gains power, he will not know how arrogant he is. In contrast, Lv Bu took Liangzhou quietly, which made Hua Xiong admire him. Although Wang Yun and others are making a lot of noise now, they are afraid they can't compare with the current Lv Bu's strength. In this way, Hua Xiong still decided not to accept Zhang Xiu's **. He will continue to wait. If Lv Bu still doesn't summon himself. So what if you hurry up and go by yourself, it's much better than messing around with some people who don't know what to do.

"General, many people outside the customs said that they were going to Chang'an. The little one saw that there were a lot of people and they also brought weapons, so I came to inform them. Just as Hua Xiong was about to finally refuse Zhang Xiu, a soldier suddenly came in and reported to Hua Xiong.

"Go to Chang'an, can you see clearly what they are?" As soon as he heard that someone was going to Chang'an, Zhang Xiu's eyebrows were like. Before Hua Xiong asked, he asked the soldier.

"This, the little one doesn't know. I only saw dozens of carriages, all full, and dozens of guards. It seems that there is a big family going to move to Chang'an." Hearing Zhang Xiu's question, the soldier subconsciously replied that although Dong Zhuo was dead, the soldier should be Hua Xiong's subordinate now, but he used to belong to the same force as Zhang Xiu, so the soldier heard Zhang Xiu's question without any resistance and answered directly.

"General Hua, why don't we kill these people directly?" After hearing this, Zhang Xiu said to Huaxiong with a murderous action. In Zhang Xiu's view, although it is difficult to say that Hua Xiong will invest in his side, if it leads Hua Xiong to kill these moving families, it is thought that Wang Yun may not be able to tolerate Hua Xiong if he knows it. Although Hua Xiong does not want to be involved in this war, it does not mean that Hua Xiong is not good for money, and this kind of moving family is generally very Oily, not to mention that the soldiers and horses are in chaos these days, and it is not a great thing for soldiers and horses everywhere to do this kind of thing.
