Jingzhou, Xiangyang Governor's Mansion.

Since the Jingzhou soldiers returned from Runan in Zhongzhou, Liu Bei became a little strange. He locked himself in the inner house of the mansion all day long, and no one came to see him. Even if the two sworn brothers Guan Yu and Zhang Fei came to look for him, he would hide in the mansion and treat each other rarely on the grounds of wind and cold body fatigue.

Of course, there are exceptions among them.

There were two people who could still come to the mansion to meet Liu Bei every day. These two people were none other than his chief and deputy military advisors, Zhuge Liang and Pang Tong.

Guan Yu and Zhang Fei had a lot of opinions on this matter. When they were in Zhuo County, the three brothers were all stuck on the ground. It has been twenty-five years since then. The elder brother always discussed with these two younger brothers first, and talked about everything in public and private matters, and outsiders had no way to interfere!

Let me talk about it, even how many times can Liu Bei live in one night? Which day is mighty and which day is soft and what day is soft, Guan and Zhang both know better than Liu Bei's two wives.

In short, Liu Bei sticks out his butt and Guan Zhang can know what he is trying to get.

However, after Liu Bei shit, Guan and Zhang couldn't smell it. Instead, Zhuge Liang and Pang Tong tried it for them, so Guan Yu and Zhang Fei were a little unhappy.

In fact, there is nothing we can do about this, because the matter of entanglement with Liu Bei is definitely not something that can be understood by discussing with Guan Yu and Zhang Fei.

Now that things have come, only Kong Ming and Pang Tong can successfully help themselves.

In the secret room in the courtyard of Liu Bei's Shenfu house, Liu Bei, Kong Ming and Pang Tong formed a small circle, and the three of them looked very serious at the moment.

When I was young, Liu Bei himself interrupted the embarrassment.

"Oh, I never expected that this time, I didn't let others, but let Your Majesty plot. Your Majesty did not come to Jingzhou, but instead went to Luoyang, the eastern capital... This is clearly a belief in me, two military advisors, what should you do about this?"

Kong Ming shook his feather fan and smiled bitterly when he heard this: "Lord, don't be so distressed. The lord misunderstood His Majesty. Did Liang and Shiyuan misunderstand Yuanzhi... He never expected that he would make suggestions for the emperor to move east to Luoyang. It seems that over the past few years, he is no longer the close friend who simply became friends with us in Jingzhou."

Liu Bei sighed deeply, then shook a letter from his hand. He said: "The emperor has returned to Luoyang, where the three families meet. The two gentlemen also analyzed Bei clearly at the beginning. This move is very powerful... But now Yuan Shang sent an envoy to invite Bei and Cao Zhi to Luoyang to congratulate the emperor..."

Speaking of this, Liu Bei smiled bitterly and said, "Of course, the two military advisors are also very clear about the essence of this congratulations. Do you think Yuan Shang invited Bei, should I go, or not?"

Zhuge Liang swayed his feather fan and said without saying a word. Pang Tong said, "Whether you go or not, the pros and cons of these lords know the pros and cons of this. A certain family just wants to ask the lord, if the lord wants to go, can you pass the hurdle in your heart?"

What Pang Tong said is that you, Liu Bei, have always been arguing with the title of supporting the Han Dynasty and assisting the emperor. If you cooperate with Yuan Shang to bully the emperor this time, if you don’t say anything else, can you overcome this hurdle in your heart?

When Liu Bei heard this, he lowered his head and sighed without saying a word.

To be honest, Liu Bei's greatest capital for so many years is not his own ability, his own military strength, Jingchu's territory, nor the wisdom of lying on the dragon and phoenix chicks, nor the courage of Guan and Zhang.

Relying on his status as the emperor's uncle! This is a big banner! In terms of reputation alone, it is even higher than that of the third emperor of Yuan Shang.

But now, once the emperor becomes independent, what is his uncle?

If the people of Xiang Han in the world have the intention to serve the country, who should they go to? Should they go to the emperor Liu Xie, the emperor of the Communist Lord of the world, or come to join him as the emperor uncle?

To be honest, I am a member of the Liu family and the emperor is also a member of the Liu family. Before I had no choice, I really don’t want to argue with the emperor!

But after the emperor made such a fuss, his advantage in the world was gone! After being displaced for so many years, he finally occupied the land of the Han River and gathered such a group of advisers and generals. It was the time to do something big, but...

If he did not respond to Yuan Shang's call this time, his Han imperial concubine would be worthless from now on.

After sighing, Liu Bei shook his head, sighed softly, and said, "The emperor is still young after all, and many things are not something he can do. As the emperor uncle, I sometimes have to do for His Majesty..."

Zhuge Liang and Pang Tong looked at each other and understood what Liu Bei said.

Sure enough, the lord still has to respond to Yuan Shang’s call!

"Just..." Liu Bei's words turned around and said with pain: "But, once I go this time, I will be accomplice with the thief and deal with His Majesty together, and pass on the general to go out and prepare for this lifetime of heroic reputation..."

Pang Tong thought for a while and said, "A certain family has a way to relieve the lord's worries. The lord went to meet Yuan Shang to meet with the emperor this time, which is actually...hehe, it is actually a bit rebellious... but in name, it can be named "protecting the king's deeds and protecting the three auxiliary officials" to spread this name throughout the three armies and sending a letter to the world. The lord's reputation has been cleared!"

Liu Bei nodded when he heard this and turned his head to Zhuge Liang hesitantly.

Zhuge Liang nodded helplessly, indicating that Liu Bei's current situation could only be like this.

Liu Bei sighed depressedly and said bitterly: "During the time of Emperor Xiaojing, the Seven Kings Rebellion was called "clearing the king's side and killing Chao Cuo" to harm the world. Unexpectedly, Bei actually entered Luoyang with the name of "protecting the king's lord and protecting the three auxiliary"... I thought that Liu Bei, who was the name of supporting the Han Dynasty all his life, became the person of King Liu Bi of Wu in the end. It was really sad and lamentable..."

***************************************

The emperor occupied the land of Luoyang, and the three families of Yuan, Cao and Liu returned to their own troops and agreed to meet at the Sanguankou Road in Wanluo.

Yuan Shang sent the troops stationed in Liyang back to Yecheng and asked Tian Feng, Ju Su, Guo Tu, and Zheng Ji and other important officials to go back to take charge of the internal affairs. He issued an urgent order to Zhang Yan wipe out Chang Xi and Shang Yao's rebellion in Taiyuan within a limited time. He led his confidant Sima Yi and used Ma Chao and Pang De as his confidant to order 30,000 elite troops to the Sanguankou Road Crossing of Wanluo to meet Cao Zhi and Liu Bei.

The troops entered Bingzhou. As soon as they passed Gu Zheng's mouth, they met Yuan Mai and Deng Ai, leading the troops in a dirt and returned with dejected expression.

The two met a large army and merged into it. The two boys entered the tent to meet Yuan Shang and talked about the past in detail.

However, in the battle between Yuan and Cao and the emperor's personal army east of Luoyang, Yuan Cao had the upper hand, but he did not expect that a powerful general suddenly appeared, with unparalleled power, and defeated Wen Tu, Dian Man and others, shocking the soldiers of both sides.

When Cao Chong, Yuan Mai and others saw that man was brave, they were nervous, afraid that the guy would show his might and take the general's head among thousands of troops and kill him. They did not dare to fight, so they had to call out gold and withdraw their troops, and they all returned in disgrace.

Yuan Mai and Deng Ai got into the camp and met Yuan Shang. From beginning to end, they told him everything. Only Yuan Shang laughed.

After the two boys finished talking, Yuan Shang blinked and asked curiously: "So, the emperor didn't receive it in your business, but he smashed the jade seal to pieces and even encountered a powerful general who could pay homage to the phoenix?"

Deng Ai nodded and said, "Just, that's right!"

Beside Yuan Shang, Sima Yi said strangely: "It is reported that the gun prodigy Yuan is old. He has lived in seclusion for many years and has three disciples under his knees. The eldest disciple Zhang Xiu and Zhao Yun are all under my Hebei tent. The second disciple Zhang Ren heard Zhang Xiu say that he was a general in Liu Zhang in Shu, so why did such a thing suddenly appear again?"

Yuan Shang shook his head and said, "Although I don't know where this guy jumped out of the stone, it's nothing serious. Starting from his own army, there are countless hostile generals who have been conquered. They are either surrendered or fucked over. It doesn't matter if they have one or two of them out of thin air... What I care more about is the Jade Seal."

Sima Yi was stunned when he heard this: "Yu Seal, is the lord interested in that kind of thing?"

Yuan Shang's face showed a hint of yearning and said, "Of course, the Heshi Bi that has been passed down through the ages will make these boys shatter. If they take it back and sell it in a hurry, how much is it worth?"

Sima Yi's face suddenly flashed with a hint of surprise. He was stunned for a while and quickly bowed to salute, his words filled with deep admiration.

"The people in the world have countless ambitious families who want to be kings who care about the jade seal and want to be king. Only when the lord talks about this thing, it is to take out for takeout... What a high level of traitor this can say such shameless words? I really admire the lord!"

Yuan Shang said helplessly: "What a pity, it's broken..."

Yuan Mai looked around, then took out a cloth bag from his arms, handed it to Yuan Shang, and whispered: "Third Brother, what do you think this is?"

Yuan Shang looked down and said strangely: "What is it?"

Yuan Mai smiled and said, "It's the fragments of the jade seal. Seeing that this thing was broken, that boy Cao Chong took these fragments back. He was afraid that Cao Zhi would scold him, and he was afraid that he would only laugh at him, so he didn't argue with me. I didn't have a single shit left, so I picked it up all!"

Yuan Shang was shocked at first when he heard this, and then his face suddenly showed deep joy.

"Good boy, I can live a life! I'm not a loser at all... I'm really my brother! I can take this piece well! I don't have meat to eat, so I can drink some soup!"

After saying that, Yuan Shang turned to Sima Yi and said, "Go back to Yecheng tomorrow and send people to ask around to see if those rich and wealthy families and powerful people like to buy Baoyu fragments, buy at a low price and sell at a high price, and sell them all, and find a way to get him a deal!"

Sima Yi shivered all over and whispered: "Lord, this is a jade seal! The country's great treasures, how dare you sell them?"

Yuan Shang raised his eyebrows and said, "The left and right are broken. Can you still tell that this is a jade seal? It can't be used as a food. If you don't sell it, you can take up space!"

Sima Yi's eyes rolled and he whispered: "This time I went to Luoyang, my incompetent sworn brother Pu Yuan is also with the army. The lord might as well give him these broken jades and let him do this..."

After saying that, he whispered to Yuan Shang's ear.

After hearing this for a while, Yuan Shang nodded and said intently: "This plan is so wonderful... You are more owed to be more sucked than selling jade seals. If I were His Majesty, I would like to give up a dragon robe and I would have to fight you to the end."

************************************

A few days later, Yuan Shang's troops arrived at the Wanluo Sanguan Pass. At this time, Cao Zhi's troops and Liu Bei's troops had arrived. The three sides all retreated five miles with the Sanguan Pass as the center, and set up camps in the west, south and north directions, set up fences to prevent horses, leaving a vacant field in the middle for the three parties to meet.

Yuan Shang's soldiers came with great pride. He had no preparations for concealment, and Cao Zhi and Liu Bei were still very concerned about this action.

Liu Bei took the banner of "protecting the king's lords and protecting the three auxiliary guards" in front of the army, while Cao Zhi simply put out all the guard of honor to come to Beijing to celebrate, and even prepared many gifts of offerings to block the leisurely mouths of the people all over the world.

Yuan Shang couldn't help but sneer when he knew it, and he was helpless at their actions of stealing the bell.

After arriving, Yuan Shang almost didn't breathe and immediately sent an envoy to send a post to invite Liu Bei and Cao Zhi to meet in the plains in the middle of the three sides to discuss the plan to go to Luoyang to see each other.

The meeting place was on the wilderness in the middle of the three camps, and there was no tent in between. The three leading princes in the world met and talked in this place.

Since the eighteen princes attacked Dong, the three masters of Yuan, Cao and Liu were present together, and it was the first time that they were so powerful.

On the field, three groups of soldiers and horses came together, each occupying their own positions, and then they saw the three giants leading their guards to the open space in the field to meet.

"Prime Minister Cao, Uncle Liu. It's been a long time since I was a long time!" Yuan Shang smiled and bowed to the two of them.

Liu Bei glanced at Yuan Shang, then looked at Cao Zhi again.

Yuan Shang is his old acquaintance, but this is the first time Cao Zhi and him have met this time.

After looking at it for a while, Liu Bei couldn't help but sigh sincerely.

"The two virtuous nephews, Feng Shen, are handsome and handsome. Yuan Weiwei's aura remains unchanged from the past. Prime Minister Cao is graceful and even more so his father! I look at the young heroes of the two virtuous nephews. I will analyze myself again. I feel that time is urging people. Bei is really old."

Cao Zhi smiled slightly and said, "Donald Xuande is too humble. Duke is a hero of the world. Who doesn't admire him? Who doesn't admire him? When my father said that he would only be the heroes in the world, only Cao Mengde and Liu Bei! My father fell from Duke Xuande. Now it is the time for Zhi to work hard to compete with Duke Xuande. If Duke is old, wouldn't he ruin my nephew's painstaking efforts?"

Liu Bei secretly sighed when he heard this, Cao Zhi's words contained a clever and were very restrained!

It's no wonder that Cao Cao was defeated by Yuan Shang, but he was lost to himself. Cao Zhi always wanted to kill himself to take revenge, but he could not do it easily due to current affairs...

However, facing the enemy who killed his father, this kid was still so calm. Cao Cao's son was quite good!

Yuan Shang cleared his throat, interrupted the needle-tips of the two of them, and said, "Duke Xuande, Prime Minister Cao, Yuan invited you two to come this time. I believe both of you understand what my purpose is, right?"

Liu Bei stroking his beard and silently Cao Zhi nodded slowly.

Yuan Shang sighed: "The emperor left Xuchang, returned to Luoyang and became a new capital. This matter is of great importance. The three of us are important officials of the court and are also important weapons of foreign vassals. At this extraordinary moment, how can we not come?"

Liu Bei and Cao Zhi nodded together and echoed: "No, not bad."

Yuan Shang smiled and continued, "So, at this extraordinary moment, I hope that the three of us can abandon past grudges, let go of our personal grudges for the time being, work together, be united in one's heart and one's virtue, be happy and we will be together through thick and thin!"

Liu Bei and Cao Zhi nodded and sighed: "Mr. Yuan's words are reasonable!"

Yuan Shang continued to summarize: ", so let us have a positive attitude, strong will and abundant energy, unite and friendship, work together to go to Luoyang, and force ourselves to force the palace in the fullest state!"
To be continued...
