The Yuan Family of the Three Kingdoms I call the shots

Chapter 441 Meeting of Giants (Two in One)

Jingzhou, Fuyang Governor's Mansion.

After the Jingzhou soldiers returned from Runan in Zhongzhou, Liu Bei became a little strange. He locked himself in the inner house of the mansion all day long, no matter who came, he would not see anyone, even if it was Guan Yu and Zhang Fei who were sworn brothers. Looking for him, he is also hiding in the mansion, and seldom treats each other because of the cold and fatigue.

Of course, there are exceptions to this.

There are two people who can still enter the mansion to see Liu Bei every day. These two people are none other than his two military advisers, Zhuge Liang and Pang Tong.

Regarding this matter, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei have very strong opinions. At the beginning in Zhuojun, the three elder brothers knocked their brains on the ground. When discussing with a younger brother, they talk about everything, no matter whether it is official or private matters, and outsiders can't get involved!
Speaking of privacy, even Liu Bei's nightlife can be several times a night, which day of the month is mighty and which day is soft, Guan Zhang knows better than Liu Bei's two wives.

In a word: once Liu Bei sticks his ass, Guan and Zhang can know what shit he is shitting.

But after Liu Bei's shit, Guan and Zhang couldn't smell it anymore. Instead, Cheng Zhuge Liang and Pang Tong tasted it for them, so Guan Yu and Zhang Fei were a little unhappy.

In fact, there is no way to do this, because the matter that entangled Liu Bei this time is by no means something that can be understood by discussing with Guan Yu and Zhang Fei.

Up to now, only Kong Ming and Pang Tong can successfully rescue themselves as to how to take the next step.

In the secret room of Liu Bei's deep mansion, Liu Bei, Kong Ming, and Pang Tong formed a small circle, and the expressions of the three were very serious at the moment.

When I was young, Liu Bei himself interrupted the embarrassment in the middle.

"Oh, I never thought that Bei didn't let anyone else do it this time, but let His Majesty plot against him. His Majesty didn't come to Jingzhou, but went to Luoyang, the eastern capital... This is obviously because you don't believe me. Two military advisers, what do you say? What should I do?"

Kong Ming swayed his feather fan, and smiled wryly when he heard the words: "Your Majesty, you don't have to be so distressed. Your Majesty miscalculated His Majesty, and Liang and Shi Yuan miscalculated Yuan Zhi... Never would have thought that he would move eastward for the emperor. Luoyang, it seems that in the past few years, he is no longer the close friend who simply made friends with us in Jingzhou."

Liu Bei sighed, then shook the letter in his hand, and said: "The Son of Heaven has returned to Luoyang, and it is located at the intersection of the three families. It means that the two gentlemen have also analyzed Bei clearly at the beginning. This move is very powerful. ...But now Yuan Shang sent another envoy to invite Bei and Cao Zhi to go to Luoyang to congratulate the emperor..."

Speaking of this, Liu Bei smiled wryly, and said: "Of course, the two military advisers are also very clear about the essence of this congratulation. You say, Yuan Shang invites Bei, should I go or not?"

Zhuge Liang swayed the feather fan and said nothing, but Pang Tong said: "Whether to go or not, the master knows all the pros and cons. A certain family just wants to ask the master, if the master wants to go, can he pass the test in his heart? "

What Pang Tong said is that you, Liu Bei, have always used the name of helping the Han Dynasty and assisting the emperor to rule the world. If you go to cooperate with Yuan Shang to bully the emperor this time, if nothing else, can you pass this hurdle in your heart? ?
Hearing this, Liu Bei lowered his head and sighed bitterly.

To tell the truth, Liu Bei's greatest capital for so many years in the world is not his own ability, not his own military strength, not the territory of Jingchu, not the wisdom of crouching dragons and phoenixes, let alone the courage of Guan Zhang.

Relying on his uncle's status as an emperor!This is a big flag!In terms of name alone, it is even higher than Yuan Shang's fourth generation and third prince.

But now, once the emperor becomes self-reliant, what is he, the emperor's uncle?
If the scholars of Xiang Han in the world have the heart to serve the country, who should they go to?Did he go to the Emperor Liu Xie, the ruler of the world, or did he come to take refuge with him, the uncle of the emperor?

To be honest, I am from the Liu family, and the emperor is also from the Liu family. Unless it is absolutely necessary, I really don't want to break face with the emperor!
It's just that the emperor made such a fuss, and his advantage in the world suddenly disappeared!After being displaced for so many years, he managed to occupy the land of the Han River, and gathered such a group of advisers and generals. It is time to throw off his arms and do something big, but...

If he doesn't respond to Yuan Shang's call this time, he, the Emperor of the Han Dynasty, will be worthless from now on.

With a long sigh, Liu Bei shook his head, sighed softly, and said, "The Son of Heaven is still young after all, and many things are beyond his control. As an uncle, I sometimes have to do things for His Majesty..."

Zhuge Liang and Pang Tong looked at each other, and understood Liu Bei's words.

Sure enough, the lord still has to answer Yuan Shang's call!

"It's just..." Liu Bei turned his head and said bitterly: "It's just that, when I go this time, I will conspire with the thief to deal with His Majesty, pass it on, and prepare my name for this life..."

Pang Tong thought for a while, and said: "A certain family has a law that can relieve the lord's worries. My lord's going to meet Yuan Shang to meet the emperor this time is really...well, it's a bit rebellious...but in name, it can be used as "protecting the king." , Bao Sanfu" in the name of Qin Wang Dayi, and spread this name throughout the three armies, and spread it to the world, and the lord's name has been cleared!"

Liu Bei nodded when he heard the words, and turned his head to Zhuge Liang hesitantly.

Zhuge Liang nodded helplessly, indicating that Liu Bei's current situation can only be like this.

Liu Bei sighed depressedly, and said bitterly: "During the time of Emperor Xiaojing, the rebellion of the seven kings was called "the side of the Qing emperor, and Chao was wronged" to bring disaster to the world. Unexpectedly, today, Bei actually used the name of "protecting the king and protecting the three assistants" It is really sad and deplorable to think that I, Liu Bei, spent my whole life in the name of supporting the Han, but in the end I became the generation of the King of Wu and Liu Bi..."

"........."

********************************
The emperor occupied the land of Luoyang, Yuan, Cao, and Liu returned to their respective troops, and agreed to meet at the Sanguan crossing in Wanluo.

Yuan Shang dispatched the soldiers and horses stationed in Liyang back to Yecheng, and sent Tian Feng, Jushou, Guo Tu, Pang Ji and other important officials back to take charge of the internal affairs. He sent an urgent order to Zhang Yan to wipe out Chang Xi and Shang Yao in Taiyuan. In the rebellion, I led my confidant Sima Yi, and used Ma Chao and Pang De as two generals to confidantes, and ordered [-] elite soldiers to meet Cao Zhi and Liu Bei at the Sanguan Pass of Wanluo.

The soldiers and horses entered Bingzhou, and as soon as they passed Guzhengkou, they met Yuan Mai and Deng Ai, leading the soldiers and horses in disgrace, and returned back dejectedly.

The two met the army and merged into it. The two boys went to the commander's tent to meet Yuan Shang and talk about the past in detail.

However, in the battle between Yuan Cao and the emperor's army in the east of Luoyang, Yuan Cao originally had the upper hand, but suddenly killed a fierce general who was unmatched in power and defeated Wentu, Dianman and others in a row, shocking Soldiers on both sides.

Cao Chong, Yuan Mai and others saw that man's bravery, and felt uneasy. They were afraid that if that guy showed his power, he would come to take the head of a general from among thousands of troops, and kill himself, so they would not dare to fight, so they had to call for money to withdraw their troops. Come back disappointed.

Yuan Mai and Deng Ai entered the tent to meet Yuan Shang, and told him everything from the beginning to the end, only making Yuan Shang burst into laughter.

After the two boys finished talking, Yuan Shang blinked and asked curiously: "So, in your line of work, it doesn't matter if the emperor didn't receive it, but he smashed the jade seal into pieces, and even met a person who would meet a hundred birds. The fierce general of the phoenix spear?"

Deng Ai nodded and said, "Exactly, exactly!"

Beside Yuan Shang, Sima Yi said strangely: "It is said that Tong Yuan, the gun prodigy, is old and has lived in seclusion for many years. He has three disciples under his knees. The eldest disciple Zhang Xiu and Zhao Yun are both under my tent in Hebei. The second disciple Zhang Ren heard from Zhang Xiu. Liu Zhang was a general in the middle of Shu, why did such a thing suddenly appear?"

Yuan Shang shook his head and said: "Although I don't know where this guy jumped out of the rock, but it's not a big deal. Since I joined the army, there are countless fierce generals who have been hostile. They were either recruited or overthrown. It doesn't matter if there are more than one or two of them out of thin air... I am more concerned about Yuxi."

Sima Yi couldn't help being taken aback when he heard the words: "Yuxi, my lord is also interested in that kind of thing?"

A look of longing appeared on Yuan Shang's face, and he said: "Of course, Heshibi, which has been passed down through the ages, just let these boys be smashed alive. If you take it back and sell it whole, how much do you think it is worth?" money?"

A trace of surprise flashed across Sima Yi's face, he was stunned for a while, and hurriedly bowed to salute, his words were full of deep admiration.

"People in the world, there are not many ambitious people who want to become kings when they recite the great treasure of the jade seal. Only when the lord recites this thing is it to sell it... How high a state thief must be to say such shameless words. ?The subordinates really admire the lord!"

Yuan Shang said helplessly: "It's a pity, it's broken..."

Yuan Mai looked around, then took out a cloth bag from his bosom, handed it to Yuan Shang, and said in a low voice, "Third brother, what do you think this is?"

Yuan Shang looked down and wondered, "What is it?"

Yuan Mai smiled and said, "It's the fragments of the jade seal. Seeing that it was broken, Cao Chong took these fragments back. He was afraid that Cao Zhi would scold him, and he was afraid that it would only increase the laughing stock, so he didn't argue with the younger brother. The younger brother is not a scumbag." Let me pick it all up!"

Yuan Shang was startled when he heard the words, and then a deep joy appeared on his face.

"Good boy, you really know how to live! You are not a prodigal at all... My brother is real! This piece is good! There is no meat to eat, so we can drink some soup!"

After that, Yuan Shang turned to Sima Yi and said, "Hurry up and go back to Yecheng tomorrow, and send people to ask around to see if those rich and powerful people like to buy precious jade fragments, buy cheap and sell high, and sell them all. , Find a way to hit him!"

Sima Yi shivered all over, and said in a low voice: "Master, this is the jade seal! The national treasure, you really dare to sell it?"

Yuan Shang raised his eyebrows: "The left and right sides are broken, can you still see that this is a jade seal? You can't eat it if you keep it, and if you don't sell it, you can keep it to occupy space!"

Sima Yi rolled his eyes, and said in a low voice: "This time I'm going to Luoyang, my ineffective brother Pu Yuan is also with the army, my lord might as well give him these pieces of jade, let him be like this..."

After finishing speaking, he put his mouth in Yuan Shang's ear and whispered.

Yuan Shang listened for a long while, then nodded thoughtfully, and secretly said: "This plan is very clever... You are more expensive than selling jade seals. If I were Your Majesty, I would give up a dragon robe and refuse it, and I would have to fight with you to the end."
****************************
A few days later, Yuan Shang's soldiers and horses arrived at the Wanluo Sanguan Pass. At this time, Cao Zhi's soldiers and Liu Bei's soldiers and horses had already arrived. The three parties all retreated five miles from the Sanguan Pass as the center, relying on the west. Set up camps in the south and north directions, set up fences to keep horses away, and leave an open field in the middle for the meeting of the three parties.

Yuan Shang's soldiers and horses came arrogantly, without any preparations to conceal, but Cao Zhi and Liu Bei were still very scrupulous about this action.

Liu Bei played the banner of "protecting the king and protecting the three assistants" in front of the army, while Cao Zhi simply put out the guard of honor entering Beijing to congratulate him, and even prepared a lot of consecrated gifts to block the people in the world. mouth.

Yuan Shang couldn't help sneering when he knew it, he was helpless with their deception.

After arriving, Yuan Shang hardly took a breather, and immediately sent an envoy to post a post, inviting Liu Bei and Cao Zhi to meet on the plain in the middle of the three sides, and discuss the plan to go to Luoyang to meet each other.

The meeting place was on the field in the middle of the three-party camp, and there was not even a tent built during the period. The three leading princes in the world met and talked at this place.

Since the vassals of the [-]th Route were begging for Dong, Yuan, Cao and Liu were present in such a uniform manner, and it was the first time that they were so grand.

Above the field, the soldiers and horses of the three groups came together, and each took their positions, and then saw the three giants leading their guards to meet each other in the middle of the field.

"Prime Minister Cao, Uncle Liu Huang, it's been a long time, it's been a long time!" Yuan Shang smiled and bowed to the two of them.

Liu Bei glanced at Yuan Shang, and then looked at Cao Zhi again.

Yuan Shang can be regarded as his old acquaintance, but this is really the first time Cao Zhi and him have met.

After looking at it for a while, Liu Bei couldn't help but sigh with genuine emotion.

"The two virtuous nephews are rich and handsome, Yuan Weiwei has the same momentum as before, and Prime Minister Cao is graceful and graceful, and he is even more like a father! Looking at the two virtuous nephews young heroes, and then looking at themselves, I feel the urgency of time. It's really old."

Cao Zhi smiled slightly and said: "Mr. Xuande is too modest. You are a hero in the world. Who does not admire and admire? My father said back then that there are only Cao Mengde and Liu Bei who are rivals among the heroes in the world! My father fell to Xuande. In the hands of Duke De, now is the time for Zhi Lijing to fight against Duke Xuande, if the Duke speaks old, wouldn’t it ruin the painstaking efforts of my nephew?"

Liu Bei secretly sighed when he heard the words, Cao Zhi's words implied sharpness and restraint!
It's no wonder that Cao Cao was defeated by Yuan Shang, but he was lost by his own hands. Cao Zhi always wanted to kill himself for revenge, but the current situation forced him to do it easily...

But in the face of killing his father and his enemies, this kid can still be so calm and composed. Cao Cao's son is not bad at all!

Yuan Shang cleared his throat, interrupted the needlepoint of the two, and said: "Mr. Xuande, Prime Minister Cao, Yuan Mou invited the two of you this time. I think you both understand my purpose, right?"

Liu Bei stroked his beard and remained silent, while Cao Zhi nodded slowly.

Yuan Shang said with emotion: "The emperor left Xuchang and returned to Luoyang to return to the new capital. This matter is very important. The three of us are important ministers of the court and important weapons of foreign domains. How can we not come at this very moment?"

Liu Bei and Cao Zhi nodded together and echoed, "Not bad, not bad."

Yuan Shang smiled and continued: "So, at this very moment, I hope that the three of us can put aside our previous suspicions, put aside our personal grievances for the time being, and work together, with one heart and one mind, with joy and happiness, and stand together through thick and thin!"

Liu Bei and Cao Zhi nodded with emotion: "Mr. Yuan's words make sense!"

Yuan Shang continued to conclude: "So, let us have a positive attitude, strong will and abundant energy, unite and love, work together, and work hard together to go to Luoyang, and go to the palace with the fullest state..."

After saying this, all the soldiers who followed behind the three giants changed their expressions drastically.

But Liu Bei and Cao Zhi tilted their bodies and almost fell off their horses together.

The atmosphere in the arena became very awkward for a while, everyone looked at me and I looked at you, blushing and thick necks, and all of them turned their faces away quietly.

Liu Bei straightened up, took a deep breath, and seriously corrected Yuan Shang's mistakes.

"Yuan Weiwei, how can you use the word 'forcing the palace'? Who did it? It's a rebellious thing! We are all loyal ministers! We are loyal ministers of the great man and the emperor! Be loyal again! The three of us gathered here today for King Qin! It’s escort! It’s court congratulations! This kind of behavior is just, kind, and has a clear conscience! What about the words of respect?"

Cao Zhi also nodded in a hurry: "That is, it is our duty to assist the emperor and help the country! We met this time, it is an act of loyalty, and loyalty has no limits! I think this is absolutely the same as forcing the palace. It has nothing to do with it at all, and besides, if anyone in this world dares to force the palace, I, Cao Zhi, will be the first to break face with him! Yuan Weiwei, you can't speak up and mislead the purpose of our meeting this time! Get out and make people laugh!"

Yuan Shang sighed helplessly. These two guys are deceiving themselves and others, even explaining the real purpose of coming here in a piecemeal manner.

"You two, each of us brought 3 people here. It's not considered forced palace, what is it?"

Liu Bei and Cao Zhi looked at each other, and said in unison: "King Qin escorts you!"

Yuan Shang stretched out a thumb, and said: "The two of you are really loyal...well, even if you are King Qin's escort."

After hearing this, both Liu Bei and Cao Zhi felt a little angry.

That bastard Yuan Shang, just look at how he talks?What is counted.

"I don't know how you two plan to protect the king this time?" Yuan Shang looked at the two with a smile and asked.

Liu Bei froze immediately when he heard the words, while Cao Zhi lowered his head, obviously he had never thought about this matter deeply.

Yuan Shang sighed helplessly. It's fine to be a bitch and erect a memorial archway. The two of them were so coy that they didn't even figure out how to "guard the king". It was like a mess, how could they achieve their goal?
This is too embarrassing, life is really tiring!

Thinking of this, Yuan Shang smiled and said: "Since the two of you are still a little shy about escorting King Qin this time, let me first talk about how we should escort this time, and remind you, it can be regarded as advice. Dial, what do you think?"

"........."

　[-] words, two in one, right?
