Wang Situ's face darkened at that moment, and he was determined to refuse Liu Ming's rude request, but then he thought again: Not to mention that his life was once saved by the second brother of the Taiwei, let's just talk about the current Taiwei.
, the soldiers are strong and the horses are strong, and I and others are still in the camp of this Lord Taiwei. If I reject the Lord Taiwei, and the Lord Taiwei plots against me and others out of humiliation, wouldn't I and others be wronged?
How can I and others complete the great mission of welcoming the Holy Emperor and returning him to the court? Although Hongchang is tall and beautiful, she is just a singer after all. For the great cause of the court, I can still ignore my life. Why do I regret a singer?
That's him. And after giving this singer to the prince, he can also have a relationship with the prince from now on. Now, with only tens of thousands of soldiers and horses, the prince can defeat the national thief.
Dong Zhuo's hundreds of thousands of soldiers and horses were driven away. After he returned to Youzhou, he would definitely be able to wipe out the rebellion of the unknown Gongsun Du. By then, no matter whether he and his ministers had put down Dong Zhuo and respectfully welcomed the Holy Emperor
Returning to court is inseparable from the help of this Taiwei. If the soldiers and horses gathered by myself and others are not enough to quell the national traitor Dong Zhuo, then I and others will still have to rely on the force of the Taiwei. Moreover, even if I and others are able to quell it,
After defeating the national thief Dong Zhuo, this Taiwei was the excuse minister that the late emperor relied on. He will definitely be reused by the current Holy Emperor. And he still needs to form a party with this Taiwei in order to gain a firm foundation in front of the Holy Emperor.
The good ones contribute to the court.
Thinking of this, Wang Situ's expression changed again. He said with a bit of a smile: "The Taiwei's second brother can fall in love with Hongchang. It is her blessing that she has cultivated for several generations. How can a lower official not be beautiful as a man?"
Next..." Having said this, Wang Situ suddenly thought: Since he is planning to have a relationship with this Lord Taiwei, why not make this relationship stronger? How can he just give a maid or a singer as a gift?
What kind of unbreakable relationship is it? Why not regard Hongchang as his daughter, elevate Hongchang's status in this way, and force General Guan to marry Hongchang as his official wife. In this way, he and the Taiwei are in-laws. Then the government and the public
Who else is his rival inside and outside? Thinking of this, Wang Situ hurriedly changed his words and said: "It's just that Hongchang in Xiaguan Mansion is deeply loved by Xiaguan's wife. In these days of crisis, he also treats Xiaguan and his wife.
He will never leave and is extremely loyal. Therefore, yesterday Xiaguan’s wife adopted him as his daughter. Now that the second brother of Lord Taiwei wants to promote Hongchang, he must take into account the honor of Xiaguan and his wife and give him a title."
Liu Ming understood it as soon as he heard it. This Wang Situ was planning to tie himself to him. However, Liu Ming didn't care about this. Moreover, when he planned to help his second brother and Hongchang City, he didn't have the mentality of playing with women.
, just play it out every time you prepare. It is not an exaggeration to give Miss Hongchang a title. At that time, Liu Ming made the decision for his second brother Guan Yu. He planned to marry Miss Hongchang as Guan Yu's official wife. It was considered as a relationship with Wang Situ.
An alliance was officially formed.
After Liu Ming settled Guan Yu's matter, he casually asked Wang Situ, as if by accident: "I heard that Wang Situ also has a daughter in his house, named Diao Chan. Is this possible?"
Wang Situ said strangely: "Diao Chan? Who is Diao Chan? There is no such person in the lower official's house."
Liu Ming was stunned at that time. There is no such person as Diao Chan? How could it be possible? This is a famous figure in history. But Liu Ming also knew that this Wang Situ would not deceive him. You must know that when the girl Hongchang marries
After marrying his second brother Guan Yu, he wanted to know who was in Wang Situ's house. He could find out just by asking. Although Wang Situ was a bit pedantic, he was also a smart man. He would never use such childish words.
Use any means to reject yourself. Could it be that this Lord Wang Situ is not the Lord Wang Situ who proposed the serial plan?
But at this moment, Wang Situ said again: "Master Taiwei, the name Diao Chan is really good. Diao symbolizes its preciousness; cicada symbolizes its nobility. My son Hongchang, after he worshiped me as his father, he returned.
We haven’t renamed it. And her name Hongchang is really indecent. It’s not worthy of my family and the status of the second brother of Lord Taiwei, so why not change it to Diaochan.”
Liu Ming was stunned again. What was going on? Did this Diao Chan exist because of him? Then why wasn't he famous in history?
Everything went smoothly for Liu Ming. Guo Jia persuaded the people of Luoyang to move to Youzhou to work, especially because they were well prepared and there was peace. Among the people in Luoyang, the rich ones were all killed by Dong Zhuo, and the poor people had no food left to survive. Moreover,
Almost all the food on the ground in Luoyang was plundered by Dong Zhuo and fell into the hands of Liu Ming. If these people of Luoyang stay in Luoyang, it will definitely be a dead end. If they go to Youzhou, Guo Jia will
They promised that Lieutenant Liu Ming would take care of all the food along the way. Moreover, when they arrived in Youzhou, they would find work for everyone and provide them with land to farm. Then what should the people of Luoyang have to hesitate? Except for a few who are particularly nostalgic.
Except for the old people, almost all of them were willing to move to Youzhou. In the end, the people of Luoyang who were willing to stay only had a population of 50,000 to 60,000. Moreover, Guo Jia also left a certain amount of money for these people in the name of Liu Ming.
These people were even more grateful to Liu Ming, and Liu Ming's reputation for benevolence and righteousness was greatly enhanced.
While Liu Ming was busy here, the heroes from Guandong were not idle either. After Liu Ming conquered Luoyang, Yuan Shao, Cao Cao and others also followed him, crossed Hulao Pass, and came to Luoyang.
By this time, Liu Ming had already chased Dong Zhuo. Even Guo Jia, after slightly arranging the surrender of troops in Bingzhou, caught up with Liu Ming. These princes arrived a step too late, and Luoyang was left with only an empty city.
But at this time, Yuan Shao did not want to run ahead of Liu Ming. He stationed troops outside the city of Luoyang and divided his troops to guard Hulao Pass and Luoyang.
Not because of anything else, but because although Yuan Shao came from a distinguished family and was shone with the aura of the Fourth Generation and Three Dukes, he was a commoner, so Yuan Shao had a very good face and had a morbid obsession with face. Now Yuan Shao can
He didn't want to run in front of Liu Ming anymore. If he couldn't pursue Dong Zhuo, he would turn around and ask Liu Ming to come forward. Then Yuan Shao himself would definitely not be able to bear it.
Moreover, Yuan Shao thought that no matter what, it was the coalition forces he led that drove away Dong Zhuo. Although the Taiwei Liu Ming had done a great job, the Sishui Pass, Hulao Pass, Luoyang and other territories that had been conquered now,
But they are all in his own hands. Although the Taiwei Liu Ming has some skills, he does not have his own men to guard these territories. With the few men and horses of the Tai Lieutenant Liu Ming, it is said that he defeated Dong Zhuo. He just guarded these territories.
Taiwei Liu Ming's troops were divided. That Taiwei Liu Ming had to be eaten by Dong Zhuo a long time ago. Anyway, now Dong Zhuo has been beaten away. I must have a share of the credit. Let Taiwei Liu Ming fight Dong Zhuo first and wait for them.
Both sides are hurt, and I can rely on my superior troops and horses to achieve great success. When the time comes, the emperor will not be able to reward me heavily.
Yuan Shao made up his mind and stationed his troops outside Luoyang City and stood still to watch the movements of Liu Ming's army and horses. But Sun Jian, Yuan Shao's subordinate, saw that Luoyang City was completely empty, and even the imperial tombs had been dug up a lot. His own army
But he didn't get any benefit at all. He couldn't help but burst out with his "lightly twisted" nature. He ordered his own troops to clean up the palace again in the name of repairing the palace and preparing to welcome the emperor back to the court.
Ichiban.
Not to mention, Sun Jian's sweeping sweeps really brought back a lot of good things from the palace that were left behind at that time. But what surprised Sun Jian the most was that when he led his troops to sweep the palace until night
.Suddenly, a sergeant next to him pointed to the distance and said: "There are five-colored lights in the south of the hall, rising from the well."
Sun Jian's eyes flashed at that time. He quickly called the sergeant to light a torch and went down to the well to fish out. After fishing out, he picked up the body of a woman. Although it had been a long time, the body was not rotten. Based on this observation, the woman's body was not rotten.
The death should not have occurred when Dong Zhuo evacuated Luoyang. Since the body was not broken, it should have been protected by treasures. Sun Jian took a closer look and saw that the woman was dressed in palace style, except for a brocade pouch under her neck.
Sun Jian was not interested in who the corpse was. Sun Jian was only interested in treasures that could emit light. At that moment, Sun Jian quickly ordered someone to take the brocade bag and look at it. Inside the brocade bag, there was a small vermilion box, locked with a gold lock.
Sun Jian opened the small box again, and saw inside the box a jade seal: four inches in diameter, with five dragon buttons engraved on it, and a missing corner on the side, which was inlaid with gold. There were eight characters in seal script on it, which read: "After being ordered by heaven,
"Shou Yongchang". It is the jade seal passed down from the country that disappeared before.
When Sun Jian saw that it was a good thing, he quickly asked Cheng Pu, the most knowledgeable of his subordinates: "De Mou, do you think this thing is real?"
Cheng Pu took it and looked at it carefully and said to Sun Jian: "Congratulations, my lord. Congratulations, my lord. This is true. This is the official seal of the country! This jade is the phoenix that Bian He saw sitting under Jingshan Mountain in the past.
He put it on a stone and carried it to King Wen of Chu. He interpreted it and found jade. In the twenty-sixth year of the Qin Dynasty, he ordered a good worker to carve it into a seal, and Li Si wrote the eight characters on it. In the twenty-eighth year of the Qin Dynasty, the first emperor went on a hunting tour and came to Dongting Lake.
The wind and waves were strong, and the boat was about to capsize, so he hurriedly threw the jade seal into the lake. In the thirty-sixth year, when the First Emperor came to Huayin on a hunting tour, someone was holding the seal to cover the road, and said to his followers: "Take this to return the ancestral dragon." After saying this,
Missing. This seal returned to the Qin Dynasty, and the first emperor died next year. Later, Ziying presented the jade seal to the emperor of the Han Dynasty. Later, when Wang Mang usurped the throne, the Empress Dowager Xiaoyuan took the seal to Wang Xun and Su Xian, broke one corner of it, and inlaid it with gold.
.Guangwu obtained this treasure in Yiyang and has passed down the throne to this day. Recently, I heard that the Shichang servants made a rebellion and robbed the young emperor when he left Beimang and lost this treasure when he returned to the palace. Today, if the lord is given the title, he will definitely be in the ninth grade. You cannot stay here for a long time.
It’s better to return to Jiangdong as soon as possible and don’t plan on big things.”
When Sun Jian heard this, he was overjoyed. He quickly said: "What you said is exactly what I want. I will say goodbye tomorrow and return home." At that moment, Sun Jian, Cheng Pu and others had discussed and decided, and the soldiers were strictly ordered not to leak it.
this matter.
But how did Sun Jian know that Yuan Shu was wary of Sun Jian because of the affairs of the governor of Runan. He had secretly arranged his own secret sentry in Sun Jian's army. Now that Sun Jian gave the order, the secret sentry saw that this was
It was a confidential matter. Although Yuan Shu was not here, Yuan Shao was still there. So he sneaked out of the camp overnight to report to Yuan Shao.
When Yuan Shao heard this, he gave the secret sentry heavy rewards and secretly stayed in the army.
The next day, it was just as the secret sentry said. Then Sun Jian came to say goodbye to Yuan Shao and said: "Jian has a minor illness and wants to return to Changsha, so he came here to say goodbye."
Yuan Shao smiled slightly and said, "I know that my father's illness is harmful to the country's imperial seal."
Sun Jian's expression changed and he said, "Why did you say this?"
Yuan Shao snorted coldly: "We are raising troops to fight against thieves and eliminate harm for the country. This jade seal passed down to the country is a treasure of the imperial court. Since the Wentai has obtained it, it should be kept with the leader of the alliance. It is also a good intention. We will punish him later.
After the national thief Dong Zhuo returned to the imperial court, he would naturally be rewarded by Wentai. Now that Wentai is hiding away, what is his intention?"
Sun Jian quickly argued: "What jade seal? Why is it in my place?"
Yuan Shaoxin said: You are still being stubborn. Let me tell you clearly. So Yuan Shao asked: "Where is the thing in the well in Jianzhang Palace?"
Sun Jianjian held on and said: "I don't have it, so why force myself?"
Yuan Shao secretly cursed: You Sun Jian, you are so shameless. At that moment, Yuan Shao lowered his face and threatened Sun Jian: "Sun Jian, hand it over as soon as possible, or you will destroy yourself."
Sun Jian was not given for nothing. He was born in Qingjiao, and his bachelor nature showed up. He swore to the sky and said: "If I get this treasure and hide it secretly, I will not end up well in the future, and I will die under the knife and arrow!"
At this time, the princes nearby had long been dissatisfied with Yuan Shao's domineering attitude, and they all had to speak up for Sun Jian: "Wen Tai made such an oath, but it must be untrue."
When Yuan Shao saw that these princes were trying to pull away, he quickly ordered someone to call out the sergeant who reported the news to him, and asked Sun Jian: "When you were waiting for salvage last night, was there this person?"
Sun Jian was exposed at that time. He became angry and pulled out the sword on his waist, intending to kill the soldier.
Yuan Shao saw that Sun Jian was about to kill someone and silence him. He quickly drew his sword, blocked Sun Jian's sword, and shouted: "Shu Zi, you are bullying me by killing soldiers."
It doesn't matter if Yuan Shao and Sun Jian take action. Behind Yuan Shao, Yan Liang and Wen Chou also draw their swords. Behind Sun Jian, Cheng Pu, Huang Gai, and Han Dang also have their swords in their hands. They see a gang fight imminent.
Cao Cao led all the princes to see that this was outrageous. How could one of his own people start fighting first? They quickly persuaded them to stop.
After Sun Jian was pulled away by the princes, he didn't say much. He immediately mounted his horse, took the stronghold and left Luoyang.
Yuan Shao was furious, so he wrote a letter and sent his confidants to Jingzhou overnight to deliver it to Liu Biao, the governor, and to intercept him on the road.
At this time, Liu Ming also sent people to inform him that Gongsun Du, Gongsun Zan and Wuhuan's Nanlou in Youzhou had rebelled. He wanted to lead his troops back to Youzhou to quell the rebellion. The great cause of defeating the national traitor Dong Zhuo was left to Yuan Shao.
of the coalition forces and the civil and military ministers of the DPRK.
