Lu Bu, God of War of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 396 Waiting for Liu Bei
"Third brother, don't be reckless." Just as Zhang Fei and Hu Zhen were fighting each other, another soldier rushed over behind him, but it was Guan Yu who was entrusted by Liu Bei to dissuade Zhang Fei. When Hu Zhen was together, he was afraid that something might happen, so he hurriedly stopped him.

"Second brother, are you here? Come here quickly and let's meet His Majesty." Seeing Guan Yu leading his troops over, Zhang Fei greeted Guan Yu with a high spirit.

"What? Your Majesty is here?" Hearing Zhang Fei's words, Guan Yu was startled at first, but soon became pleasantly surprised. Obviously, seeing Emperor Xian here is what Guan Yu wished for.

"Hey, the second brother's matter is strange, but I think these people won't lie." Seeing Guan Yu's surprised look, Zhang Fei nodded in satisfaction, smiled, and pointed at Hu Zhen. It was a joke, so Zhang Fei was naturally not afraid of Hu Zhen's nonsense.

Seeing this scene, Hu Zhen was about to break his guts. If it was only Zhang Fei and his hundreds of people who came, then Hu Zhen might be able to drink Zhang Fei with the 6000 or [-] people behind him. Back, but now that Guan Yu is coming, with thousands of soldiers and horses under his command, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei have nearly two thousand soldiers and horses in their hands, and there are two famous generals, how dare Hu Zhen Zuoci, although there are five or six thousand people around him, Hu Zhen has only one thousand soldiers and horses. How dare he compete with Guan Yu and Zhang Fei? In the current situation, only Lu Bu can suppress the two of them, thinking of these Hu Zhen can only wait for the development of the matter.

"General Hu Zhen, I beg you to let our two brothers pay homage to His Majesty." Knowing the news of Emperor Xian, Guan Yu naturally understood the reason why Zhang Fei was here, so he turned around with a red face and squeezed out a smile to Hu Zhen said.I know it's not that Guan Yu values ​​Hu Zhen so much, but since His Majesty is required, Guan Yu has to be careful. Although the emperor is weak, he is the emperor respected by all people anyway, and he is really the nominal master of the Han Dynasty.

"This? I'm just a foreign minister, but I can't decide these things. How about this, I will report to His Majesty now. As for whether Your Majesty will have time to see you, I am not sure." At this time, Hu Zhen also had to talk to Guan Yu and Zhang Fei in a pleasant manner. See you soon. Hu Zhen's goal is to send Emperor Xian to Lu Bu. As for His Majesty meeting Liu Guanzhang on the road, it is not a big deal. If Zhang Fei doesn't take His Majesty away, the other Hu Zhen can still accept it.

"In this way, General Lao." Seeing that Hu Zhen agreed to help him pass the transmission, Guan Yu also said kindly.

"Second brother, I don't think this kid is a good bird. How could he be willing to help us? It's better to kill him." Seeing Hu Zhen leave, Zhang Fei changed his face and made a decisive gesture.

"You first tell me how your majesty got together with Hu Zhen. Could it be that Hu Zhen hijacked your majesty?" Hearing Zhang Fei's words, Yu Yu didn't answer directly, but asked a question that he didn't want to do.

"This, how do I know? But Li Jue seems to have been killed by Hu Zhen, presumably Hu Zhen saw that Li Jue's situation was over and wanted to make him vote for the Ming Lord." Zhang Fei's brain meridian was not slow at this time, and he thought about it for a while. Then replied.

"Well, it's really hard to guess these things, so I'd better send someone to find my elder brother. If I think about it, my elder brother must really want to see His Majesty." Thinking of this, even Guan Yu feels that his knowledge is not enough to deal with the situation at hand, so he must be meeting His Majesty. At this time, they naturally thought of Liu Bei. Liu Bei was the most sociable and knowledgeable person among the three. As long as Liu Bei was around in this kind of thing, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei would not lose their manners.Besides, even if Emperor Xian was really allowed to see the two of them, what can the two of them say to His Majesty?

"I'm going to send someone to look for the eldest brother." Hearing Guan Yu's words, Zhang Fei immediately nodded in agreement. Although Zhang Fei has always been nervous, he became more careful when meeting His Majesty.

"Your Majesty, the county magistrate of Pingyuan has sat down with Guan Yu and Zhang Fei and they want to see His Majesty. May I ask if Your Majesty summons you?" Although Hu Zhen was very reluctant to see Guan Yu and Zhang Fei to meet His Majesty, in order to avoid any trouble, he did not hesitate. For people like Guan Yu and Zhang Fei, Hu Zhen has no good solution. He only hopes that they will leave quickly after they have a bad nose in front of Emperor Xian, so as not to cause trouble.

"Pingyuan county magistrate? What is that?" Although Emperor Xian has not been in power for many years, he usually sees big people. He rarely hears about the position of Pingyuan county magistrate. He must be a small official. Yes, it is not worth paying attention to, but seeing Hu Zhen's expression, it seems that the county magistrate of Pingyuan has some background, which makes Emperor Xian not only look at Cao Yin at the side with some playfulness.

"Did your majesty forget that I have mentioned this person once today? This person is a clan member of the Han family and someone your majesty can trust." Different from Emperor Xian's unmistakable expression, when he heard the magistrate of Pingyuan, Cao Yin But he was startled, and a trace of untraceable joy emerged from Cao Yin's eyebrows.

"You mean?" Hearing what Cao Yin said, Emperor Xian suddenly remembered that Cao Yin had mentioned this matter to Emperor Xian after he came back from Hebei, but Emperor Xian didn't show any interest at that time, so it must be the county magistrate of Pingyuan. The official position is too small, and the power is not worth mentioning. Maybe when Wang Yun and Ma Teng are in power, Emperor Xian can give Liu Bei some gifts and give Liu Bei a little bit. But now that Wang Yun is dead, Ma Teng is defeated, and Lu Bu has entered Beijing, what can a county magistrate of Pingyuan do?But it's better than nothing, maybe we can leave some seeds for the future.Emperor Xian thought so, then turned to Hu Zhen and said, "Has the magistrate of Pingyuan come?"

"The magistrate of Pingyuan did not come, but his two brothers asked to see him." Although he was a little surprised that Emperor Xian was suddenly interested in the magistrate of Pingyuan, Hu Zhen replied honestly.

"See you, Your Majesty." Seeing Emperor Xian's disappointed expression when he heard that Liu Bei didn't come, Cao Yin suddenly said.Although the current Hu Zhen is also very respectful, but the emperor's mind is about balance. The two brothers of Liu Bei may not be able to play any role now, but with these two people by his side, Hu Zhen dare not act rashly. Either Emperor Xian or Cao Yin can feel at ease, so Cao Yin suggested to Emperor Xian.

"Let them come over." Hearing Cao Yin's words, Emperor Xian said softly to Hu Zhen.

"Thank you, Your Majesty, I'm going to summon the two of you now." Hu Zhen frowned and didn't go back to find Guan Yu and Zhang Fei. Originally, Hu Zhen thought that Emperor Xian would not care about a small plain county magistrate, but he didn't expect Liu Bei There was actually a connection with Cao Yin, which made Hu Zhen feel a little more hesitant, but for Hu Zhen, these were beyond his control. Now the only hope in Hu Zhen's heart was that Lu Bu could find him quickly. Then you can retire.

"Congratulations, both of you. Your Majesty has agreed to meet with both of you. However, as an adult, you can only go there by yourself, but your soldiers cannot go there at the same time. Please take off your weapons for the other two." Although Hu Zhen felt a little helpless, but this It doesn't mean that Hu Zhen really has no room for maneuver. On the way back and forth, Hu Zhen thought of an excellent way, which is to separate Guan Yu and Zhang Fei from their soldiers, and then release their soldiers. Thinking about it, it would be very difficult for such two people to have more troubles.

"What makes us take off our weapons without bringing soldiers? What kind of rule is this?" Zhang Fei became a little annoyed when he heard that, although Zhang Fei knew that Hu Zhen wouldn't play tricks in front of himself and Guan Yu. What a cleverness, but it doesn't mean that Zhang Fei thinks Hu Zhen is trustworthy.

"General Hu Zhen, your conditions are too harsh." Compared with Zhang Fei, Guan Yu was obviously not so impulsive, but he also felt that Hu Zhen's statement seemed untrustworthy.

"The two generals seldom walk around in the capital. The rules here may not be clear, but these are for the safety of His Majesty. If you pay off the two generals, don't make things difficult for me." After all, Hu Zhen was someone who had seen the world under Dong Zhuo. These few words came out loudly, making Guan Yu and Zhang Fei unable to object.

"Then why can you carry a weapon?" Zhang Fei looked at Hu Zhen, suddenly seemed to have discovered something, and asked, pointing at Hu Zhen.

"Hehe, I am responsible for protecting His Majesty comprehensively, so of course I have to wear weapons." Hu Zhen replied casually with a smile.

"Third brother, we will talk about everything when the eldest brother comes." Zhang Fei wanted to say something, but was stopped by Guan Yu.Although both of them are a little curious about the emperor and want to meet him, they have never met the emperor out of curiosity. Since they want to meet, there must be some reason. Guan Yu and Zhang Fei are not good at talking. Wait for the two to calm down After that, I still felt that it would be better to see Emperor Xian again when Liu Bei came. Anyway, Emperor Xian was right in front of me, so I was not afraid of him disappearing.

"Have you two missed Your Majesty?" Looking at Guan Yu and Zhang Fei, Hu Zhen suddenly asked in confusion.He really couldn't figure it out, didn't these two people have been arguing to see His Majesty just now?In the blink of an eye, he changed his mind again.

"Hmph, did we meet a bird? We are relatives of the emperor, and we have nothing to say when we see him." Hearing Hu Zhen's question, Zhang Fei said truthfully. When Zhang Fei said this, Guan Yu and the others were attracted. Hu Zhen frowned, but both of them held back their silence, obviously not wanting to argue with Zhang Fei about this matter.

"Since this is the case, please invite the two to follow the team. Your Majesty was frightened. Now you are going back to Chang'an, please ask the two to guard the team." Seeing that the two disappeared just like that, Hu Zhen finally let go. With a sigh of relief, he waved his hands back, and the long line started back on the road.
