Chapter 241 I am a big man, when the sun and the moon are as bright as the sky and the earth for a long time!
"Wenyuan, are you here?"
Xun Huo waved to Zhang Liao and others.
"military adviser."
Zhang Liao and Zhang Zhen came to the Central Army as scheduled: "I heard from Captain Zhang, do you want your Highness to reward them? I am satisfied that I can do things for Your Highness. It doesn't matter whether I reward them or not."
"Wen Yuan's words are different."
Xun You smiled indifferently, waved his hand and interrupted: "His Highness said that not only will he be rewarded, but also he will be rewarded heavily. The whole army will hold a celebration banquet tonight, and someone may have been sent to inform Wang Yi. You can take Zhang Zhen with you and have a meal in the big tent.
.”
"ah?"
Zhang Zhen's eyes were as wide as bells, and he raised his hand and pointed at himself, with a look of disbelief on his face: "The last general...the last general...the last general is qualified...to serve in the Chinese Army..."
Dinner under the tent?"
Zhang Liao was even more surprised.
After all, the main tent of the Chinese Army is for entertaining the princes. Even though he is the commander-in-chief of the three armies, he is still not qualified to dine in the main tent of the Chinese Army. But now it is good, because of a seal, he can take his subordinates to dine in the main tent of the Central Army.
What an honor is this?
"Military advisor, this..."
Zhang Liao was dumbfounded and froze in place like thunder and lightning: "Did I hear you correctly? Your Highness ordered General Zhang Zhen to come to the Chinese army's tent for dinner?"
"certainly!"
Xun You nodded with absolute certainty: "If Wen Yuan doesn't believe it, he can go to the main tent and ask His Highness himself."
Zhang Liao's throat rolled and he hurriedly shook his head and waved his hands: "No need, Liao Xin is better than the military advisor."
"Let's go."
Xunhe waved his hand for the two of them to follow.
Immediately.
Entering Xun or his own military tent, he handed the horseshoe gold that had been prepared to Zhang Liao: "Here, this is a reward from your highness, one hundred horseshoe gold, and I will give it to you, Wen Yuan, to distribute."
"one......"
Even Zhang Liao himself had never seen so much money: "A hundred gold horseshoes?"
Zhang Zhen gasped and was stunned: "One... one... one..."
Xun You simply said with gratitude: "If you don't believe it, you can count it yourself."
Zhang Liao handed the horseshoe gold to Zhang Zhen and said, "You go out first. I have something to talk to the military advisor."
"No need!"
Xun You interrupted directly and said with a smile: "Wen Yuan would like to ask, what kind of seal is it that Captain Zhang salvaged?"
Zhang Liao nodded heavily: "Is it possible?"
"sure."
Xun was eager to get this news out, so he would tell the truth: "Actually, what Xiaowei Zhang found was not a seal, but a jade seal that symbolizes the divine right of the emperor!"
"The Imperial Seal?!"
Suddenly, Zhang Liao was shocked!
Zhang Zhen was even more shocked: "I...what I found...is actually the Imperial Seal?"
Xun You nodded with absolute certainty: "That's right! It's the Jade Seal of the Kingdom."
hiss-!
Zhang Zhen took a breath and suddenly realized: "No wonder, the ordinary seal is a gold seal, but this seal is actually a jade seal, it turns out to be the national jade seal!"
"kindness."
Xun You nodded extremely calmly and waved his hand for the two of them to take a seat: "I think Wenyuan has heard about the broken bridge at the North Gate, but Wenyuan must not know what His Highness said at that time."
Zhang Liao became more and more curious: "What?"
At that moment, Xun You described to Zhang Liao and Zhang Zhen exactly what happened that day on the mountainside of Beimang Mountain, and even added a slightly mysterious atmosphere in the middle.
"His Highness asserted at that time that there must be something left to him by his ancestors in Luoyang City, so after the war, he ordered someone to search carefully."
"This is the jade seal given to His Highness by Heaven!"
Xun You looked solemn and extremely solemn: "I am convinced that as long as we follow His Highness closely and revitalize the Han Dynasty, it is inevitable. The throne of Chenliu Wang Xie has an illegitimate origin and is certainly not the supreme one."
"That's right!"
Zhang Liao pinched a wisp of beard under his chin and nodded with absolute certainty: "The broken bridge at the North Gate has completely turned the world around. This cannot be done by human effort. It must be provided by God's help."
"Now, another imperial seal has appeared, which is enough to prove that His Highness is the true chosen son and the true emperor of the Han Dynasty. How can we not follow him to the death?"
Xun You nodded with satisfaction: "In that case, you can go back and divide the horseshoe gold openly. There is no need to keep it secret. Your Highness is the orthodox member of the Han Dynasty."
"kindness."
Zhang Liao felt completely at ease, stood up and held his hands in his hands: "General, I'll take my leave."
Xun or personally sent him to the camp gate: "Wenyuan, remember to come to the Chinese army for dinner in the evening."
Zhang Liao waved his hand: "Don't worry, I will keep this in mind."
really!
Just as Xun or expected.
Zhang Liao and Zhang Zhen had only left the camp for an hour.
The entire Luoyang Military Camp.
The news has spread throughout the east, west and south gates, as well as the Mangshan military camp.
Simon.
Sun Jian's camp.
Central army, big tent.
Sun Jian pinched a wisp of beard under his chin and nodded with interest: "Haha! Your Highness is indeed the right one. It's really shocking that you can be blessed by heaven."
"Virtuous plan, public restoration, Wen Sheng!"
Sun Jian turned to look at the three generals and said with great joy: "From now on, we must follow His Highness to the death and make great achievements."
The three of them raised their hands together: "Here."
Sun Jian turned to glance at Cheng Pu and said softly: "De Mou, when I came back a few days ago, His Highness specially thanked me, saying that I had trained him a general with both civil and military talents."
"Don't worry."
Sun Jian waved his hand to appease Cheng Pu and said, "I believe His Highness must have other plans for you! Now that Lord Yi has entered the cavalry camp, he has fought brilliantly for several feet in succession. He is a role model for you and others."
Cheng Pu cupped his hands and clasped his fists: "General, don't worry. I have waited for more than ten years. How can I lose my temper at this time? Lord Yi once talked about this matter with us. He said that His Highness thinks highly of us and will decide the future."
There are arrangements."
"kindness."
Sun Jian nodded with satisfaction: "If you can lead an army by yourself, I, the general, will naturally be happy. If not, then stay and become my deputy general, and we can still fight side by side."
*****
East gate.
Deng Zhi Camp.
Central army, big tent.
Deng Peng looked in disbelief: "I never expected that in this dilapidated Luoyang City, the imperial seal would mysteriously appear. The decision made by the family head back then was really a wise one."
"yes."
Deng Zhi was also filled with emotion: "At that time, King Hongnong was wanted by the entire army, but the head of the family dared to secretly help His Highness. My father ordered me to sneak into Wancheng. This courage is only possessed by the Deng family."
"but......"
Deng Peng said with a smile: "To say that the luckiest one should be Deng Zhan. He has been helping His Highness since Luoyang. Now, like Zhu Tong and Shi A, they are all members of the personal guard."
"Tsk tsk!"
Deng Peng had a look of envy and hatred on his face: "If I can gain such trust from His Highness, my future will be limitless! Deng Yi is his good friend and has also repeatedly performed extraordinary feats in our army."
Deng Zhi said arrogantly: "My Deng family is full of heroes. This time we will surely rise to the top and bring glory to our ancestors."
Deng Peng nodded affirmatively: "That's right! General, do you want to write a letter to the family and inform the head of the family?"
"Of course I do."
Deng Zhi quickly turned back, took out the cut silk from the upper right corner of the table, and laid it flat on the table.
He pondered for a moment and then quickly wrote:
Father, how about...
...
*****
Mang Mountain.
Cao Jun's camp.
Central army, big tent.
hiss-!
Cao Cao couldn't help but gasped: "You mean... the imperial seal?"
Cao Ren nodded affirmatively: "That's right! It is the Imperial Seal. It has been spread among all the camps. During the fierce battle at the North Gate, the situation was very unfavorable, but suddenly the bridge deck was broken."
"If this were not the case, how could Lu Bu abandon his troops and lead only a thousand cavalrymen to attack from the direction of Shanglin Garden? Even if the Wolf Cavalry suffered heavy losses, there are still nearly a thousand troops and horses left on the south bank!"
"This broken bridge is too weird!"
Cao Ren took a deep breath and frowned, puzzled: "In addition, the imperial seal was salvaged today, wouldn't it be in line with God's will? King Hongnong is the orthodox member of the Han Dynasty!"
call-!
On the side, Bao Xin took a long breath and said loudly: "The bridge that has stood for hundreds of years mysteriously collapsed at the most critical moment. This is not God's will, so what is it?"
"King Hongnong received guidance from heaven, and sent people to search Luoyang City carefully, and found the jade seal passed down from the country. This is not God's will, so what is it?"
"Mengde!"
Bao Xin was very excited, his eyes were shining brightly: "You are still smart. You believed that King Hongnong was extraordinary. Now, isn't it confirmed? King Hongnong is the orthodoxy of the Han Dynasty!"
Although Cao Cao did not believe that the disaster of the broken bridge was God's will, after this incident, he admired King Hongnong's methods even more, and became more convinced that under the leadership of King Hongnong, the Han Dynasty would be revitalized again, and even surpass the glory of the Han Dynasty.
Emperor Wu.
"King Hongnong was originally the orthodox member of the Han Dynasty."
Cao Cao's eyes were deep and firm, as if he had made the most important decision in his life: "Yuncheng, if you are asked to give up being the Prime Minister of Jibei and follow His Highness back to Nanyang, would you be willing?"
Bao Xin didn't hesitate at all: "Of course I do."
"oh?"
Cao Cao continued to ask: "If King Hongnong returns to the palace and does not give you an official position, what will you do?"
Bao Xin's eyes remained firm: "Even if I am white, as long as I can follow King Hongnong, I, Bao Xin, will never hesitate. I, Bao Xin, have had enough of those bird officials and those bird people!"
"Ha ha!"
Cao Cao looked up to the sky and laughed wildly: "Yuncheng has a true temperament."
Bao Xin said loudly: "To be honest, today is Bao's happiest day since he challenged Dong. Our Han Dynasty is not exhausted and will surely be revitalized again. We are all lucky enough to witness it. What more can I ask for."
*****
Mang Mountain.
Xu Xuan camp.
Central army, big tent.
"The imperial seal?"
Xu Xuan suddenly raised his head and looked at Li Quan.
"That's right."
Captain Li Quan nodded affirmatively: "It is the imperial seal! I have heard that His Highness sensed the guidance of heaven, so he ordered people to search Luoyang City."
"and!"
Li Quan frowned, with a look of disbelief on his face: "The imperial seal was not found in the palace, but in a dry well in the south of Luoyang City. It is really incredible."
Xu Xuan pinched a strand of goatee under his chin: "Just wait a moment, have you and I encountered too many incredible things along the way from Guangcheng Pass, Dagong Pass, and then to Luoyang City?"
"kindness."
Li Quan nodded: "Indeed, there are quite a few, especially that day during the fierce battle at the North Gate, the bridge deck collapsed mysteriously, which turned the situation around in one fell swoop. Now the news is going viral in all camps. This is also God's help, Your Highness."
"I have decided to submit to King Hongnong. Regardless of whether the imperial seal is handed down to me or not, I am willing to follow him wholeheartedly. For Xu, this matter is just the icing on the cake."
Xu Qiu laughed it off.
Along the way, he was greatly disappointed with Yuan Shu and Yuan Shao, but he became more and more respectful to King Hongnong. Now he is even more impressed by King Hongnong's methods, and he should do his best to assist Zuo.
"but......"
Xu Xuan suddenly remembered something, put his pen aside, and looked up at Li Quan: "Captain Li, go and call Xu Sima and the team leader Chen Lai. I didn't know how to speak before, but now is the time.
"
Li Quan leaned forward and held up his hands: "Here."
Not long after.
Two strong figures appeared in the big tent.
Xu Xuan waved his hand for the two of them to sit down, but without hesitation, he said directly: "Do you know about the national jade seal?"
Xu Chang and Chen Dao nodded in unison: "I know."
Xu Qiu smiled faintly: "In that case, what do you two think?"
"idea?"
Xu Chang couldn't help but be curious and frowned: "Chief Commander, what do you mean?"
Xu Xuan said softly: "To be honest, His Highness has come to see me and advised me to resign as the governor of Runan and follow him back to Nanyang. His Highness also specifically mentioned the two of you."
"Even if we don't take away these thousands of soldiers and horses, we must take you to Nanyang. Moreover, we have all the property, house, money and silk, so you don't have to worry about it."
"Now......"
Xu Xuan is extremely confident.
He believed that no one could reject the current King Hongnong.
Therefore, Xu Qiu was too lazy to talk nonsense and directly put the matter on the table without any concealment: "Xu wants to hear your own thoughts. Are you willing to submit to King Hongnong?"
Xu Chang naturally did not hesitate, patted his chest and said: "The general is willing."
Chen Dao hurriedly followed: "General Mo is naturally willing, but my mother is old. General Mo needs to tell her before he can return to Nanyang with King Hongnong with peace of mind. Otherwise, even if he leaves, he will feel uneasy."
"Captain Chen can rest assured."
Xu Xuan waved his hand to reassure Chen Dao: "His Royal Highness has specifically asked that if Captain Chen agrees, all his mother's family will be moved to Nanyang, and County Sheriff Tang will properly resettle them."
"ah?"
Chen Dao was astonished: "Your Highness... Your Highness personally gave the order?"
Xu Xuan nodded: "Well, His Highness values you very much. You have to behave well. Maybe if you make great achievements in the future, you can be like Zhang Zhen under Zhang Liao's tent, dining with all the princes in the Chinese army's tent."
.”
"this......"
Xu Qiu's voice was loud and sonorous: "This is the most glorious thing for me as a subordinate! Chen Dao, you have such potential, work hard and don't let me down."
Chen Dao was overjoyed and hurriedly handed over his hands: "Don't worry, Sheriff, the general will live up to his high expectations."
"kindness."
Xu Xuan nodded: "In that case, you can quickly write a letter and I will personally send someone to present it to the court. We will try to send it to Nanyang as soon as possible and make a decision before the triumphant return."
Chen Dao burst into tears of gratitude: "Thank you so much, Sheriff."
"No need to thank me, it's Your Highness."
"Yes! Thank you, Your Highness."
*****
The water is surging, but the broken bridge remains the same.
Lu Bu stood by the river bank, staring at the broken bridge not far away, and nodded slowly: "Yes! This is God's will, otherwise how could the bridge deck suddenly collapse when the situation was just right."
"The military advisor is right."
Lu Bu suddenly remembered what Xun Hui had said to him when he was at Dagong Pass: "Dong Zhuo may have the ability to break the world order, but he will never have the power to recreate it."
"King Hongnong is the orthodox emperor of the Han Dynasty and the true chosen one. What on earth did I think at the beginning? Why did I believe that Dong Zhuo would make the decision with me and other military men from the border counties?"
"Alas~~"
Lu Bu sighed, secretly feeling sad.
"General Lu."
Suddenly, a voice sounded from behind.
It's Xu Rong.
Lu Bu judged it immediately.
He turned around and saw the other party walking slowly to the river bank: "Why are you here?"
Xu Rong took a deep breath: "If I said... His Highness asked me to spy on you, would you believe it?"
Lu Bu was stunned: "Spy on me?"
Xu Rong frowned: "To be precise, it should be supervision! His Highness was afraid that you would not be able to think clearly, so he asked Xu to enlighten you from time to time. Now Hou Cheng and Cao Xing regard you as their enemy. Are you lonely in the military camp?"
"snort."
Lu Bu snorted softly and turned his gaze back to the turbulent water: "It is true that he is a little lonely, but now, he has become a little more clear-minded and understands a little more."
"oh?"
Xu Rong couldn't help but wonder: "What does the general think?"
Lu Bu said softly: "Your Highness said that I have a small heart. People with a small heart have narrow vision. How can a narrow vision lead to a broad mind? I, Lu Bu, am indeed blinded by hatred."
"His Highness once told Bu that a true warrior is one who, after seeing clearly the dark truth of this world, can still love it instead of hating or hating it."
Xu Rong really felt that Lu Bu had changed a lot, especially the hostility in his body, which seemed to have been purified by some kind of power, so that within a few days, Xu Rong no longer recognized Lu Bu.
"yes!"
Xu Rong was also filled with emotion: "His Highness never knew the darkness of this world. He fell from a high-ranking emperor to a prisoner, but he never gave up. He still tried his best to contribute his strength to the great man."
"Compared with King Hongnong, we are indeed narrow-minded. We only think about the hardships we have endured and the sins we have suffered. How can we ever consider the world of the Han Dynasty?"
"Only King Hongnong!"
Xu Rong took a deep breath and exhaled slowly: "His vision is that the big man belongs to the world, so he doesn't care about his background, even if he is a small official in the border county, he still has a place to be useful, because in his eyes, we are all big men."
Han people are no different."
"I didn't quite believe it before, but what happened with Sun Jian, Zhang Liao, Han Dang, Cheng Pu, and Niu Yong made me know that His Highness really doesn't mean any favoritism."
"He is a true meritocracy, regardless of his background."
At this moment, Xu Rong turned to look at Lu Bu and said with great solemnity: "Perhaps you and I have not been properly settled yet, but I believe that before long, we will both be useful."
Lu Bu nodded solemnly: "Well, I believe it will be like this."
Xu Rong said softly: "You and I are in the same boat, so we should work together to make progress together."
Lu Bu smiled lightly: "Yes! I should work together with you to make progress together."
*****
It's night.
The moon and stars are sparse.
Luoyang City, South Gate.
Chinese army tent.
All the princes came to join the banquet, and the entire Luoyang Allied Army was in great joy.
"King Hongnong is here—!"
A long announcement sounded outside the tent.
All the princes in the tent stood up and focused their eyes on the curtain.
But see...
The curtain was raised, and Hongnong King Liu Bian slowly stepped into the tent.
Although he only wore regular clothes, it was difficult to hide the aura of a king all over his body.
Especially with the blessing of the imperial seal, Liu Bian has an imperial aura, as if every step he takes in the camp has the aura of dominion over the world.
"I'll see you, Your Highness."
All the princes bowed and saluted.
"Get up."
Liu Bian waved his hand and signaled all the princes to stand up: "Recently, under the guidance of heaven, I found the imperial seal in the ruins of Luoyang. This is a sign from heaven that the Han Dynasty should be established."
"Come!"
Liu Bian raised the wine cup in his hand and invited all the princes: "Let's drink this wine to respect the sky."
All the princes raised their wine glasses one after another, raised their necks, and drank until their glasses were dry.
There were attendants waiting for you, and the wine was filled again.
Liu Bian raised his wine again: "First respect the sky, and then the earth. Everything covered by the sky and wherever the earth reaches will definitely be the territory of my Han Dynasty. The ambitions that our ancestors have not been able to realize will definitely be realized by us."
"Gentlemen!"
Liu Bian waved his hand: "Please drink to your heart's content."
Having said this, all the princes were already excited, and their fierce fighting spirit was completely ignited.
At that moment, all the princes were filled with wine and their energy was high in the sky.
"After worshiping the heaven and the earth, you should also respect your ancestors. They have spirits in the sky and will protect us. They will prosper the Han Dynasty, regulate the world, sweep across the eight wastelands, and hold the breath of all barbarians. They will shine with the sun and the moon. They will be the same as the heaven and the earth. Long."
"Gentlemen!"
Liu Bian glanced at all the princes and said boldly: "Please join me and drink to your heart's content."
All the princes raised their glasses together and said: "The sun and the moon shine together, and the heaven and the earth last together."
Gulu!
Another prince, drank heavily.
Even Liu Bian was a little drunk after drinking Sanjue wine.
The princes had just sat down when Chen Wang Liu Chong took a step forward, cupped his hands and clasped his fists, and said sonorously: "Your Highness, now that the jade seal passed down to the country has appeared, it is time for Your Highness to return to the palace to announce it to the world and revitalize the great Han Dynasty."
Liu Bian waved his hand: "King Chen, how could I not understand what you mean? It won't be too late to discuss this matter after this matter."
Then, Cao Cao, the cavalry captain, stepped out and said, "Your Highness, after Dong Zhuo deposed the emperor and killed him, he established a new emperor to dominate the court. This has brought disaster to the world and the people have suffered from Dong Zhuo for a long time."
"At this time, it is time for His Highness to rectify his name with the jade seal passed down to the country, establish a new imperial court, and resist the rites. All the benevolent people in the world will definitely follow suit, revitalize the Han Dynasty, and rebuild the world. It will not be long before."
"Your Highness, Cao Cao, please return to your seat and return to the palace!"
The next second, Jibei Prime Minister Bao Xin handed over his hand: "I second the proposal."
Xu Qiu, the governor of Runan, handed over his hand and said, "I second the proposal."
Li Min, the governor of Yingchuan, said: "I also agree with you!"
Even Zhang Liao and Zhang Zhen also took a step forward: "I second the proposal!"
...
Liu Bian had already talked about this, so he was not surprised at all. He just waved his hand indifferently: "I am the orthodox member of the Han Dynasty, so I will naturally return to the palace sooner or later!"
"That's the same thing..."
Liu Bian's eyes were bright and he said solemnly: "Let's discuss this later. With the jade seal in hand, I can return to the palace at any time. There is no rush now."
All the princes naturally understood what King Hongnong meant, and they did not try to persuade him anymore. They all sat down to drink.
At this moment, netizens in the live broadcast room were also excited:
"Master Bian is going to be the emperor, and the Northern and Southern Han Dynasties are at odds with each other. It's so cool!"
"When I become emperor, I will immediately recruit talents and gather all the unknown civil servants and military generals."
"That's right, Lu Su, Zhang Zhao, Guo Jia, Chen Qun, all come here."
"Not only the civil servants, but also the generals, Xu Chu, Dian Wei, Liu Guan and Zhang."
"That's right! Liu Bei can take it, he really can!"
