As soon as Yuan Shu finished speaking, he regretted it because he saw the faces of several people behind Liu Xin filled with anger. Yuan Shu was different from Yuan Shao. Yuan Shao was the leader of the alliance and what he said represented all the princes.
Yuan Shu's words only represent himself, and other princes will definitely not pay for his words. In this case, he will be the enemy of Liu Xin. Thinking of this, before Liu Xin finished speaking, Yuan Shu
He shrank back obediently.
Now that Liu Xin had agreed to withdraw from Luoyang, the princes had nothing to say. They all blamed Yuan Shu for too many things and tried to calm down Liu Xin's anger with their words.
However, Yuan Shu's words still reminded Liu Xin that since he had agreed to give up Luoyang, there was no need to stay here any longer. More importantly, Yique Pass was firmly in his hands and he could march northward at any time in the future.
The usual strict training showed its effect at this time. Although the Jingzhou Army was scattered in various places in Luoyang City, Liu Xin gave the order and in less than half an hour, all the soldiers gathered outside the south gate of Luoyang. Not one of them
People are left behind.
Liu Xin looked at her team with satisfaction, turned to Gao Shun and asked: "Gao Zhuangshi, we are going back to Jingzhou soon. What are your plans in the future?"
Gao Shun now knew how cruel Dong Zhuo and Lu Bu were, and of course he had no intention of joining them again. Liu Xin's image in his mind gradually grew taller, and he said without any hesitation: "With your permission, I would like to
Let me go to Jingzhou with my lord to have a look."
Whether it is Dong Zhuo's army or the armies of the princes, including Liu Xin's Jingzhou Army, they are actually the armies of the Han Dynasty. Except for the different flags, there is not much difference in the clothes and armor they wear. Although the people in Luoyang City are sent by Liu Xin
Those who were rescued could not tell who was who in such a short period of time. They only knew that the army in the city was mobilized frequently. During the war, they were the most miserable group. No matter whose army they saw, the first thing they thought of was
He quickly hid. Therefore, when Liu Xin pulled the army out of the city, no people came out to see him off.
Liu Xin didn't care about this. He rescued the people and distributed food. He was just doing his part and did not expect anything in return from the people. However, this time he came to Luoyang, he was not without gain, at least he got something from it.
More than 7,000 volumes of classics were rescued in Dongguan. In the eyes of Dong Zhuo and the princes, these classics may not be as valuable as a cart of grain, but in the eyes of Liu Xin, they are all priceless treasures.
Just as Liu Xin got on his horse and was about to lead his army to leave, two groups of troops suddenly rushed out of the city. When Liu Xin looked back, it was Beihai Prefect Kong Rong and Pingyuan County Magistrate Liu Bei who came to see him off.
Just when Liu Xin was pulling his army out of the city, all the princes had their own purposes and rushed into Luoyang. No one cared about when Liu Xin would leave. In this case, even Yuan Shao, the leader of the alliance, did not come.
As for Kong Rong, Liu Xin was indeed a little touched that Liu Bei could come to see him off. He quickly got off the horse, clasped his fists and said, "Thank you two for sending me off. If there is any use for Liu in the future, although
Speak bluntly.”
Kong Rong leaned over and said: "Master Liu truly loves the people, and Kong admires him so much! As Master Liu expected, all the princes have different intentions, and Kong is not willing to stay here. As soon as Master Liu leaves, Kong will
I took people back to Beihai. The world will be in chaos, but it’s a pity that Kong is powerless.”
Liu Xin suddenly remembered someone, so she raised her hands and said: "Master Kong, I heard that there is a young hero under your rule. His surname is Taishi, and his last name is Ci. He is loyal and good at riding and shooting. Why don't Master Kong take him as your own?"
use?"
Kong Rong said with a smile: "I didn't expect Mr. Liu to have heard of Ziyi's name. Kong also took good care of his family, but everyone has his own ambitions, and Kong would never force it."
When Liu Xin saw this, she said no more and turned to look at Liu Bei, only to see that his eyes were always staring behind her, which seemed a little funny. Liu Xin knew that Liu Bei had one skill, that is, he looked at people.
Quite accurate, that's why he used his acting talents to the fullest in history and recruited a large group of masters to help him conquer the world. Among other things, Zhang Fei, Zhao Yun and Huang Zhong behind him were all Liu Bei's generals in history.
It seemed that Liu Bei had already begun to plot against his subordinates. Thinking of this, Liu Xin cupped his hands and said, "Master Liu, I took a quick look at the genealogy just now. There is indeed no record about Master Liu in it. I am afraid that Master Liu is a Han Dynasty."
It’s not easy to determine the identity of the clan members.”
Liu Bei really took a fancy to Liu Xin's subordinates, and was thinking of ways to get close to them in order to lay an ambush to poach Liu Xin in the future. Unexpectedly, Liu Xin got involved in his identity.
I felt a little blushing, but I had to answer his words, so I had to bite the bullet and said: "Liu also heard what his ancestors said, my branch should be the queen of King Jing of Zhongshan, there is no way it is false. Liu's
Our ancestors were once granted the title of Marquis of Luchengting in Zhuo County."
Liu Xin knew that this was his weakness, and just wanted to expose his hypocrisy from this point, so he pressed forward step by step, without giving him a chance to breathe, and continued: "It is recorded in the genealogy that Prince Jing of Zhongshan has as many as one heir."
There are more than 120 people, but the records below are missing from the grandchildren. The person Liu said was once granted the title of Tinghou of Lucheng was Liu Zhen, the son of Prince Jing of Zhongshan. He made a mistake and was deprived of his title. The genealogy records that he
It seems that there are no descendants left. Pretending to be a royal relative is a serious crime. I hope Mr. Liu will be careful about saying anything about Han clan relatives in the future."
In fact, Liu Xin didn't have time to look up any genealogy, and he didn't want to. Because Liu Xin knew that Liu Bei carried the banner of the Han clan and had indeed won over many people's hearts. So now, is Liu Bei a Han clan?
Clan is not important, what is important is to let others know that Liu Bei is not a clan member of the Han Dynasty.
Liu Bei did not expect Liu Xin to speak so directly, and immediately forced him into a corner. But Liu Xin's words were well-founded, and in a hurry, Liu Bei couldn't think of any good reasons to refute him.
Of course, Liu Xin would not leave time for him to think about it slowly, and then said: "Come, let me introduce you to the two adults. These are all the civil and military pillars of our Jingzhou!"
Liu Bei's eyes suddenly lit up again, and he didn't bother to look for any more reasons to prove that he was a member of the Han clan. He quickly raised his big ears. After listening to Liu Xin's introduction, Liu Bei held Zhang's hand.
Fei held Zhao Yun with one hand and refused to let go for a long time.
He wanted to poach Liu Xin, but he didn't know that Liu Xin had also set his sights on Guan Yu, but Liu Xin didn't act in a hurry like him, but had his step-by-step plan. Because Liu Xin knew that Guan Yu was a good person.
Loyalty is the most important thing. Historically, Cao Cao gave money, beautiful women, and red rabbits and horses, but he still failed to win over Guan Yu. If he wanted to conquer Guan Yu, he had to reveal Liu Bei's disguise and make Guan Yu completely give up on Liu Bei.
Liu Xin's first step was to label Liu Bei as a fake Han clan member in front of Guan Yu, thus shaking Guan Yu's trust in Liu Bei. Liu Xin knew that he should not rush for success, let alone conquer Guan Yu.
He was not in a hurry for such a difficult task. After the first step was successfully completed, he did not take any further action. He just chatted with Guan Yu for a few words and became familiar with it.
After bidding farewell to Kong Rong, Liu Bei, and Liu Xin, the group rode southward. When they passed a small stream, Zhang Fei suddenly whipped him several times and rushed over.
Liu Xin felt a little strange, so she chased after him and asked, "Yide, what are you doing?"
Zhang Fei grinned and said: "Brother, that Liu Bei is so disgusting. Not only did he pretend to be a clan member, but he also acted like a woman and held Lao Zhang's hand for a long time. Lao Zhang needs to wash it off quickly. Don't
What kind of bad luck has happened to you?"
Zhao Yun also rushed over and said with disdain: "That Liu Bei is not disgusting, but he has no good intentions. He doesn't even look in the mirror, so he dares to touch our brothers' minds. Since my lord knows that he is pretending to be a clan member,
He should be captured and punished!"
Liu Xin had long expected that Liu Bei's efforts were in vain, but she did not expect that Zhang Fei and Zhao Yun would view Liu Bei like this. He couldn't help but laugh and said: "Liu Bei is just a county magistrate, but he can lead troops to join the coalition to attack Dong Zhuo. He can also
He is considered a hero, I have made it clear to him, I think he will definitely restrain himself in the future, so let him go."
Zhang Fei was angry and said bitterly: "What kind of hero is he? He must be just trying to gain fame. He is clearly a hypocritical villain!"
But Kong Rong, after listening to Liu Xin's words, was a little doubtful about Liu Bei's identity. However, after these days of interaction, he still had a good impression of Liu Bei, but he didn't have too many thoughts at the moment. Kong Rong
Seeing Liu Xin's team gradually disappearing, he did not intend to stay in Luoyang anymore, so he turned around and said, "Kong is also going back to Beihai. I wonder what Mr. Xuande's plans are?"
Liu Bei also kept looking at the south, his face full of disappointment, and his heart was empty, as if he had lost something. He didn't hear clearly what Kong Rong said for a moment, so he turned around and asked, "What are your orders, Lord Kong?"
Seeing his lost look, Kong Rong was not amused. He shook his head and said, "Mr. Xuande, Mr. Liu has gone far away and is out of sight. Do you want to wait for Mr. Gongsun to go back together, or do you want to stay in Luoyang?"
After listening to Kong Rong's words, Liu Bei came back to his senses, thought for a moment and said, "Liu doesn't know where the future will be?"
Liu Bei really didn't know what to do next. He had high ambitions when he was a boy. He finally took advantage of the Yellow Turban Rebellion to find a career. After a few years of work, he became the magistrate of Pingyuan County. The world was about to be in chaos, and Liu Bei also
It has been seen that this is the opportunity he has been waiting for for a long time. If he continues to stay in Luoyang, he only has a thousand soldiers except Guan Yu, and has no capital anymore. How can he compete with those princes? But back in the plains, he is still just a county man.
Ling didn't have much interest in Liu Bei who was bent on pursuing a great cause.
Kong Rong saw that Liu Bei was silent and didn't understand why he was depressed, so he said: "If Mr. Xuande is not in a hurry to go back, why not come with me to Beihai to relax."
