In fact, Yuan Shao didn't need to tell Liu Xin that he was Liu Bei. Everyone else had introduced him. Who else was left who wasn't Liu Bei? According to ancient books, Liu Bei was seven feet and five inches long, with a face like a crown jade and lips like grease.
His ears hang down from his shoulders, his eyes can focus on his ears, and his hands are above his knees. When Liu Xin saw this passage, she couldn't figure it out. If Liu Bei really looked like this, it would be too exaggerated. The whole combination of a pig head and a gibbon
It’s hard to imagine how Wu Guotai fell in love with Liu Bei and agreed to marry Sun Shangxiang to him. Now it seems that the records in the book are too inaccurate. Although Liu Bei’s ears are bigger and his arms are longer, they are far from hanging shoulders.
There's still a long way to go before it reaches the knee.
Liu Xin looked behind him again. He saw a general holding a long sword, with a face like a jujube, phoenix eyes and a long beard. He was somewhat similar to Mr. Guan in the portrait, but his face was gloomy and his mood was not high. He must have almost missed it.
Death by Lu Bu's halberd was a big blow to him. However, everything has its pros and cons. Perhaps this failure can make the stubborn Guan Erye understand that there are people outside the world, and there is a heaven outside the world, which may be a good thing.
Liu Bei saw that Liu Xin was just looking at them without speaking, so he quickly took the initiative and said: "Master Liu, if we talk about it, you and I are still brothers of the same race."
Liu Xin has never had a good impression of Liu Bei. She always believed that he relied on tears to deceive the loyalty of Guan, Zhang, Zhao Yun and others, and then gained three points of the world. Now Zhang Fei and Zhao Yun are behind her and have made their own
Brother, Liu Bei cannot be deceived no matter how much he cries. Liu Xin had long suspected that Liu Bei was not a member of the Han clan, so he said with a hint of fun: "Since Xuande Gong is a clan member of the Han clan, I wonder if he has brought the genealogy with him.
We can also talk about our elders and children around us."
Liu Bei couldn't help but be startled. He mentioned the so-called Han clan clan through his own surname Liu. Only he knew best whether these words were true. However, no one had ever questioned his words.
Not to mention wanting to read his genealogy, Liu Xin's words poked at his weakness. However, Liu Bei is not only a generational hero, but also an outstanding actor. His tears come at any time, without the need for any medicine to stimulate him.
When he started telling lies, he started talking: "Liu Bei's family has fallen into decline. Due to many changes, the genealogy has been lost for a long time and cannot be found. If Mr. Liu has a genealogy at hand, you might as well lend it to me so that I can copy it and keep it."
We will worship our ancestors in the future."
When it comes to genealogy, Liu Xin is not worried. He currently has two genealogies in his hand. One was passed down to him by his adoptive father Liu Jian, and naturally his name is on it. The other one was just rescued from Dongguan the day before yesterday. Then
It was a family tree exclusively for the royal family. Dong Zhuo left in such a hurry that he didn't even have time to take away the royal family tree. On this family tree, Liu Xin's name had already been added by Liu Hong. Liu Xin did not expect that Liu Bei's reaction was really serious.
He was quick enough to pick him off cleanly with just a few words, but he even turned around and killed him.
Liu Xin knew that she couldn't get too entangled with him on this matter, so she said calmly: "Of course I have the genealogy, but I can't lend it to outsiders for viewing. If your name is on it, I can certainly lend it to you to copy.
If not, then please forgive me for offending you."
Liu Bei's expression remained unchanged, he raised his hands and said, "That's natural. I don't dare to force others to do anything."
His words were a pun, insinuating that Liu Xin could not produce a family tree. However, Liu Xin did not come to the meeting today to expose his false identity, so she did not argue with him and turned to Yuan Shao and said: "Master Yuan
, Now that I have gotten to know all the adults, we should turn to the topic. Mr. Yuan invites Liu to come, and if you have anything to say, just tell me."
Yuan Shao did not expect Liu Xin to be so direct. He had prepared a lot of rhetoric and then slowly got to the point. However, he did not use any of them. The invitation to Liu Xin today was agreed upon by the princes. As the leader of the alliance, he
Unable to back down, Yuan Shao gritted his teeth and said: "In this case, Yuan, like Mr. Liu, is a straightforward person, and he will speak out if he has anything to say. The reason why I invite Mr. Liu to come today is to ask Mr. Liu to withdraw from Luoyang and bring Luoyang to Luoyang.
The city is under joint management with the coalition forces of the princes!"
Liu Xin couldn't help but secretly raised her thumbs. It seemed that Chen Gong still had two skills. He guessed Yuan Shao's plan very closely. Liu Xin was not in a hurry to answer, but just looked at Yuan Shao coldly. After a long time
Then he slowly said: "What if I don't agree?"
Yuan Shao suddenly burst into laughter, his face also darkened, and he said: "I think Lord Liu is joking with me. Look here, there are seventeen princes and an army of 400,000 people. Do you think Lord Liu wants to block the car with his arms?"
Liu Xin sneered again and again and said: "No matter how many people there are, what's the use! In my opinion, they are just a piece of loose sand, and everyone is just like selling out!"
As soon as these words came out, the princes' team was in an uproar, and many people were already commotion. Yan Liang and Wen Chou behind Yuan Shao even used swords and guns at the same time, and they were about to take action. Guan Yu, who had been hanging his head, suddenly opened his eyes and stared at Liu Xin.
Thoughtful.
Yuan Shu couldn't help but jumped out and said: "Liu Xin, do you want to challenge the heroes of the world on your own?"
Liu Xin remained unmoved and continued to speak slowly: "The city of Luoyang was captured with the lives of our Jingzhou soldiers. How can we just give it in? Moreover, the 300,000 people in the city were also saved by our Jingzhou soldiers from the Dong thieves."
How could Liu leave them alone if they came down?"
Although Yuan Shao didn't know the true combat power of the Jingzhou Army, he thought that since Liu Xin dared to come to Luoyang alone, he must have someone to rely on. If a war broke out, he, the leader of the alliance, would definitely bear the brunt and benefit other princes. He would not do such a stupid thing.
He knew how to do it, so he endured it again and again, and said: "Master Liu, I know that you were ordered by the late emperor to assist the young emperor, but God did not follow your wishes. Now that the traitor Dong has kidnapped the empress and gone to Chang'an, Master Liu is determined to establish another Mingjun.
, Yuan promised you that as long as you give up Luoyang, I will try to summon all the ministers and appoint a new king!"
Liu Xin didn't expect that Yuan Shao would put all this as a condition, and couldn't help but despise him. Of course, the wise king Liu Xin wanted to make was himself. If Yuan Shao wants to make a wise king now, what's the point of Liu Xin? Liu Xin shook his head,
He said decisively: "Yes, Liu wants to establish another Mingjun, but he has to wait until the world is at peace. Now that the traitor Dong has not been eliminated, how can we establish a Mingjun? You still have this intention. If you want to fight, we will fight. I will never give in."
!”
Huang Zhong, Zhao Yun and other generals behind Liu Xin became excited after hearing this, and they were all gearing up and eager to try.
Just when Yuan Shao was about to speak, Kong Rong, the governor of Beihai, said: "Master Liu, Kong has something to say, do you know whether to say it or not?"
Liu Xin knew that Kong Rong was an upright and talented person, and she had heard the story of him letting pears grow since she was a child. She still had some respect for him, so she handed over her hand and said, "Master Kong has something to say, but there is no harm in saying it."
Kong Rong said sternly: "Kong knew that Mr. Liu, as a clan member of the Han Dynasty, raised troops to attack Dong Zhuo, definitely not for his own selfish gain, but to save the people of Luoyang. What Mr. Liu raised was a righteous army, and what you all raised were also righteous soldiers.
Soldiers, if the two sides fight, wouldn't it be laughed at by everyone in the world?"
Liu Xin snorted coldly and said nothing. Of course, he did not want to fight with the armies of the princes. Regardless of the outcome, Dong Zhuo would always reap the benefits.
Seeing that he didn't speak, Kong Rong continued: "Lord Liu also knows that the seventeen princes all have their own opinions, and everyone has raised troops to come here just for Luoyang. If you insist and refuse to give in, then a war will be inevitable.
"
Liu Xin saw that although his tone was not threatening, but there was nothing new in it, she couldn't help but said proudly: "So what, Liu is not afraid of a fight!"
Kong Rong suddenly changed the topic and said: "But Luoyang is not an empty city now. There are 300,000 people in the city who Mr. Liu worked hard to rescue. Mr. Liu, have you ever thought that if the war breaks out, they will
So what will happen?”
After listening to Kong Rong's words, Liu Xin couldn't help but calm down. He had always played the card of being close to the people. If he really fought with the princes to compete for Luoyang, what would be the difference between himself and these princes? Liu Xin pondered for a long time,
Just now he said: "It's okay to let me withdraw my troops, but you have to promise me one thing. No one is allowed to burn, kill, loot and oppress the people in Luoyang."
When Yuan Shao heard that Liu Xin was relieved, he was overjoyed and said: "Master Liu, please don't worry. We are raising the flag of righteousness. How could we do such illegal things? As long as Master Liu withdraws from Luoyang, I guarantee that you will not harm a single person."
, will not rob the people of a grain of food."
Seeing that Yuan Shao agreed readily, Liu Xin said no more, turned around and ordered: "Inform Gongming and the others to pack up and retreat to Yique Pass early tomorrow morning."
Although Huang Zhong and others were unwilling to give up Luoyang, they did not dare to disobey Liu Xin's order. Only Zhang Liao refused to accept it and shouted: "My lord, Luoyang city was hard-won, how can we give it up so easily!"
Liu Xin comforted him: "If there hadn't been an army of princes to contain Dong Zhuo, we wouldn't have taken Luoyang so easily. Mr. Kong is right. I raised the army for the people of Luoyang. The people have had enough of Dong Zhuo's abuse and hardship.
It’s unbearable, how can we let them get hurt again? Listen to my order and retreat.”
Seeing that Liu Xin's tone softened, Yuan Shu suddenly shouted: "It's not enough to just withdraw from Luoyang, you have to keep withdrawing from Yique Pass!"
Another important reason why Liu Xin agreed to withdraw from Luoyang was that he was busy putting out fires after entering the city and failed to control the city gate in time. Now the east gate is in the hands of the coalition forces, and there are many coalition forces stationed in the city. As long as there is a war, there will be
It affected the people in the city. If Liu Xin had controlled the city gate, he would not have given in easily. The Luoyang wall was high and the pond was deep. Under the strong defense of the Jingzhou army, these mobs alone could not attack it.
However, Yique Pass is different. It is an important passage from Luoyang to the south and Yingru to the north. Now that it is in Liu Xin's hands, he has never thought about giving up. Even if there is a fight, there is no need to worry about hurting innocent people.
.So, as soon as Yuan Shu's words came out, Liu Xin said without hesitation: "Since Mr. Yuan wants Yique Pass, then try to pull your men out, so as not to take action again after you have passed the pass.
