My balcony connects the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 378
Luoyang.

Yuan Shu looked at Wei Gong who was neither humble nor overbearing with a gloomy expression, his brows and eyes were uncertain.

With his hands behind his back, Wei Gong looked at everyone in the hall leisurely, like the real master of the room.

"If I don't let him go, what will happen to you?"

Yuan Shu didn't dare to get angry, and he couldn't get angry. Facing Wei Shi, all the confidence in his heart was useless.

Wei Gong said with a smile: "If you don't let him go, you won't let him go. Wei is just going back to his life."

Yuan Shu's eyelids twitched, everyone in the Hongdu School was talented, and he would not be reconciled if they were easily handed over to Wei Shi.

However, facing Wei Gong's "aggressive" arrogance, he couldn't bear to say a word "no".

Just be afraid, he just finished refusing, when Wei's Longshan army came back to fight.

Yuan Shu is a person who has seen the strength of the Longshan Army, and he is extremely sure in his heart that he is not Wei's opponent at all.

But it was so easy for Wei to get so many talented people, Yuan Shu was really not reconciled.

So, he procrastinated for a few days, trying to make Wei Gong let go and offer some practical things in exchange, such as: Liu Xie who was rescued by Wei Shi.

Now, although he is holding the Jade Seal of Chuanguo, he suffers from the fact that there is no one to inherit the throne. If this continues, those who have just attached themselves to him may soon fall apart. This is what he does not want to see.

"Damn Uncle Wei Wen, if I say I won't let you go, won't you put forward conditions?"

Seeing that Wei Gong's oil and salt were not allowed in, Yuan Shu was too embarrassed to bring it up, and he was so anxious that he was like an ant on a hot pan.

The hall suddenly fell into silence.

There was a slight smile on the corner of Wei Gong's mouth. How could he not know what Yuan Shu was planning, but he just didn't mention it. People who studied in Hongdu School are important, but the young emperor Liu Xie can't let it go, otherwise Yuan Shu will be the next one. He Jin and Dong Zhuo.

Right now.

"Report..."

"What's the panic?"

Yuan Shu scolded.

The general looked up at Yuan Shu, then at Wei Gong, clasped his fists and said, "Jizhou Mu Han Fu, leading [-] troops, has crossed Hulao Pass and is heading towards Luojing."

Yuan Shu's face darkened, Han Fu wasn't staying in Jizhou well, so why did he come to join in the fun at this time?
Before Yuan Shu could speak, the general said: "Behind the main army, there is a light cavalry force of about 5000 men, the leader is Liu Yu, the shepherd of Youzhou, this is a letter of worship sent by Liu Shijun. "

Come to present the post with both hands, Yuan Shu is overjoyed upon hearing this.

Liu Yu is also a clan member of the Han Dynasty, if...

Yuan Shu's expression did not escape Wei Gong's gaze, especially when he heard the word 'Liu Yu', his eyes flashed with pride, as if he had found a way out.

The corner of Wei Gong's mouth raised, and he cupped his hands and said: "Since the general has a distinguished guest, Wei will take his leave first."

A smug look appeared on Yuan Shu's face, he glanced at Wei Gong, and waved his hand indifferently, "Walk slowly."

Wei Gong smiled calmly, and retreated.

Seeing his leaving back, the smile on Yuan Shu's face disappeared instantly, replaced by a hint of sneer.

···
Luoyang, the post house in the east of the city.

Wei Gong walked in with a few secret guards, and met a young man who was described as bleak.

"Bo Fu, are you just getting up?" Wei Gong asked with a frown.

The young man is none other than the little overlord of Jiangdong who lost his father, Sun Ce.

Seeing Wei Gong, Sun Ce's dull eyes seemed to have a gleam of brilliance, and he clasped his fists in greeting and said, "Morning, Brother Wei."

The young postman who was sweeping the floor next to him couldn't help but look up at the sun that had already set in the west...

Wei Gong shook his head with a regretful face, a person who used to be so high-spirited, but now he is so depressed, it really makes people sigh.

"Bo Fu, where are you going?"

Sun Ce scratched his messy hair like a chicken coop, yawned and said, "The post house is out of wine, I'll go outside to estimate a pot."

Wei Gong sighed helplessly, and motioned to the hidden guard at the side, and said, "Give Brother Sun a bottle of good wine."

The dark guard nodded slightly, glanced at Sun Ce, and walked straight into the house.

Seeing this, Sun Ce grinned and hurriedly followed. Compared with the dirty wine sold outside, of course Wei's fine wine is better.

Inside the inn.

Wei Gong looked at Sun Ce who was sitting directly on the ground, frowned and said, "Bo Fu, we will leave tomorrow to return to Hedong County. I have already fulfilled what I promised you before. Your family has been safely sent to Wu County."

Hearing this, Sun Ce raised his cloudy eyes and nodded gratefully at Wei Gong.

Seeing that he was so depressed, Wei Gong didn't bother to persuade him to cheer up. What should be said, I don't know how much he said along the way.

"What about you, what's next?" Wei Gong finally asked.

Sun Ce's expression changed, and after being silent for a while, he said in a deep voice: "Brother Wei has helped me a lot. Logically speaking, I should have gone north with you to do my best with this crippled body, but the revenge of killing my father is not enough. Let's live together, I..."

Wei Gong interrupted him with his hand, nodded and said: "Alright, since you want to stay in Luoyang, then Wei has nothing to say, but it's still the same sentence, if you have no hope of revenge, you want to come to my Wei family again, I'm sorry, sorry I, Wei, have no destiny with you."

There was a flash of struggle in Sun Ce's eyes, he understood Wei Gong's meaning, Wei's is not a place where you can come if you want.

However, now that the revenge for killing his father has not been avenged, Sun Ce really cannot accept Wei's olive branch.

Seeing that he didn't speak, Wei Gong felt helpless, so he could only go back and report the truth to Wei Cheng, that he had tried his best to recruit him.

Two days later.

Hedong, Anyi.

In the study of Dongyuan of Weifu, several children were reciting the nine-nine multiplication table aloud.

Wei Cheng sat on the sidelines sorting out the dried herbs and correcting the pronunciation problems of several children at the same time.

Queen Guo and Bu Lianshi are worthy of being the daughters of aristocratic families. Compared with the two of them, Aning and Niu Niu are obviously 'stupid'.

It's not that IQ can't keep up, but that the two girls will be distracted from time to time, and they are easily distracted by the things around them.

"A'Ning, it's okay, why are you always looking at the door?" Wei Cheng finally couldn't bear it anymore, and scolded in a low voice.

Aning was startled by Wei Cheng, stuck out his tongue, and hurriedly read aloud following Queen Guo who was next to him.

After a stick of incense.

Wei Cheng got up and said, "Okay, today's morning class is over here, and we all go back to wash our hands and prepare for dinner."

"Oh!" Ah Ning was the first to jump up, and the books in his hand were gone.

Seeing this, Wei Cheng coughed lightly.

Aning came back to his senses, only to find that Queen Guo and Bu Lianshi were arranging books and cushions, and hurriedly followed suit.

Wei Cheng shook his head speechlessly, and walked out of the study first.

In the yard, Cai Yan and his daughters were playing with Dabao and Erbao. It was probably because of this that Aning was distracted just now.

Seeing that the morning class was over, Hao Niang hurriedly asked Aunt Niu to prepare meals.

On the other hand, Cai Yan and Zhong Chan were holding a child, planning to send it to the house first, and give it to the little maid to take care of.

Seeing this, Wei Cheng said softly: "Yan'er, you have just finished confinement, you should get more sun, why don't you let Aunt Niu take out your things, let's have dinner in the yard today."

When Cai Yan heard this, she hugged Da Bao and sat back down. The summer morning sun was still very warm. After lying in the house for a month, she really wanted to get some fresh air outside.

Just as he was talking, Wei Gong came in at the gate of the courtyard carrying two small packages.

"Second brother, second sister-in-law."

Wei Cheng looked back and couldn't help laughing, "Is this just coming back?"

Wei Gong bowed to the two of them, and replied with a smile: "Yes, come and see my two little nephews as soon as you get back."

Cai Yan also said with a smile, "Uncle has been out for a long time this time."

Wei Gong grumbled at Wei Cheng angrily, and said: "Second sister-in-law is right, you can also tell me about second elder brother, why did you assign me so many tasks, causing me to miss the birthdays of my two nephews?" ...Hey, this is Dabao and Erbao, right?"

Wei Gong handed the package to the maid at the side, and said: "These are some common gadgets in Luoyang, scalded with hot water and used for children to play with."

Then they walked around Dabao and Erbao with smiles all over their faces, this one touched the little nose, the other shook the little hand, they were very intimate.

Wei Cheng and Cai Yan looked at each other and smiled, just as Aunt Niu and the others had brought the food over, everyone had breakfast in the yard.

"Uncle Wen, will the journey to the south go smoothly this time?" Wei Cheng asked casually while eating.

Wei Gong took a sip of the noodles, smiled wryly, "Second brother, can't we wait until I'm full."

Wei Cheng chuckled.

Wei Gong picked up a handkerchief and wiped his mouth, shook his head and said, "The rest is fine, it's Sun Bofu, I couldn't recruit you."

Wei Cheng's expression changed.

Wei Gong hurriedly explained: "He still wants to stay in Luoyang to find a place to avenge his father. The situation in Luoyang is a bit chaotic now. Before I came back, Liu Bei and Liu Biao both returned to Jingzhou. It seems that they have benefited from Yuan Shu. The dark guard went to investigate, and Han Fu and Liu Yu suddenly appeared in Luoyang, I'm afraid..."

Wei Cheng raised his hand, knowing that the next topic is not suitable for talking at home.

Wei Gong nodded slightly, and continued to eat noodles with his head down.

···
Chengbei Weisuo.

Wei Chengduan sat at the head, and Wei Gong, who had just returned, was at the bottom of the hall, as well as Wei Min, Tian Feng and others.

"This is the news just sent from Luoyang, please read it, my lord." Tian Feng presented a post with both hands.

After Wei Cheng took it, he glanced at it casually, nodded and said, "Interesting, you should take a look too."

Wei Min and Wei Gong glanced at each other, and after seeing it, their expressions changed drastically at the same time.

Wei Gong said in a deep voice: "I knew that Yuan Shu's heart was never dead. He hinted several times before that I would exchange King Chen Liu for Hongmen students, but I silently rejected him. Later, when he heard that Liu Yu was going south, his attitude immediately changed."

Wei Min frowned and said: "This Liu Yu is also confused. If he stands up at this time, isn't he afraid of becoming the next Lingdi?"

Tian Feng said: "It's not true. Liu Yu is quite a man of the city, and he is generous and won the hearts of the people. He also has a bit of prestige among the nobles of the family. He is still a legitimate Han clan. It's just an order in the face of danger, didn't you read, he said that as soon as King Chen Liu returns to the capital, he will definitely abdicate as soon as possible."

"This is forcing us to send King Chen Liu back." Wei Gong sneered.

Wei Cheng, who was at the top, had a calm face, and listened to the analysis of the three without interrupting, with a faint smile on his face all the time.

In fact, he was also confused.

In history, Yuan Shao did recommend Liu Yu to be emperor, but Liu Yu refused. What's going on now?
After thinking about it, he could only blame himself for the problem. He only blamed himself for leaving King Chen Liu in Hedong and giving Liu Yu a reason and excuse to become emperor.

As for sending back King Chen Liu, he would abdicate and give way to the virtuous, just listen to it. King Chen Liu is only a boy of eight or nine years old. If he is really sent back, he is not a puppet emperor.

What should be explored most now is why Han Fu and Liu Yu went south at this juncture, and why they came together with Yuan Shu.

So, another three days passed.

The dark guards deployed in Jizhou and Youzhou finally sent Wei Cheng the answer he wanted.

In the conference hall of the guard, everyone looked at each other in blank dismay.

Wei Min frowned and said, "I didn't expect Yuan Shao and Gongsun Zan to be the culprits. If they hadn't forced Liu Yu and Han Fu into desperation, they probably wouldn't have gone south to unite with Yuan Shu."

That's right, the inertia of history continues. A few days ago, Gongsun Zan and Yuan Shao unilaterally announced to go it alone. It is estimated that Liu Yu and Han Fu had already received the news, so they fled to Luoyang ahead of time with their own troops.

Wei Cheng looked helplessly at the information in his hand, "After all, this dispute is inevitable."

If things go on like this, there will probably be another war in the near future. The internal situation that has finally settled down may not last for a few months before it will become chaotic again.

When Wei Cheng lowered his eyebrows and pondered, Tian Feng in the hall cupped his hands and said: "My lord, I have a suggestion, I don't know whether to say it or not."

Wei Cheng raised his eyes to look at him, and the others were also curious about Tian Feng's clever plan.

Tian Feng got up and walked to the Dahan Map, and directly drew a north-south dividing line on it.

"Young master, please see that our people have already established a layout in Xuzhou. If we can win Yuzhou and Liangzhou, we will be able to establish a dividing line between east and west in Dahan."

"Boundary line?" Wei Min frowned puzzled.

Wei Cheng's eyes lit up, knowing Tian Feng's intentions.

Tian Feng smiled and said: "Yes, the demarcation line is a demarcation line that does not allow anyone to pass. If you want to cross this line, you must pay a large amount of customs duties, otherwise you will face our Longshan Army and Tiger Soul directly." The might of the army."

Hearing this, Wei Gong said excitedly: "It's a good way. If you separate the north and the south like this, you won't be afraid of them fighting again. If you want to fight, you can fight against me. No one would dare to come to my Wei's hands, haha."

Wei Min was also overjoyed, nodded and smiled and said, "Good way, Liangzhou, Bingzhou, Yuzhou, and Xuzhou just connect to form a north-south dividing line, Xuzhou is easy to handle, and Bingzhou is no problem, leaving Liangzhou and Yuzhou..."

"There is no problem in Liangzhou." Fifth Uncle Wei Hao stood up and said, "As long as Princess Wannian and King Chenliu write a letter, Huangfusong will definitely cooperate with us."

Everyone looked at each other and smiled, Huangfu Song was loyal to the Han Dynasty, although a bit foolishly loyal, it seemed to be an advantage at this time.

"The rest is Yuzhou. If Kong Ni disagrees, can we force it?" Someone asked.

Just when everyone frowned and thought.

Wei Cheng, who was at the top, said with a smile: "Kong Yu should be seriously ill. It just so happens that Xun Yu is going to come back. Let him lobby the aristocratic families and officials in various counties in Yuzhou. Xun Yu was born in Yingchuan, Yuzhou. Come to think of it, I should know a lot of people.”
