Two thousand brave warriors appeared in Luoyang City like the wind.
Then on an ordinary early morning, the sun rose and the morning light shone down, and these brave warriors left here again like the wind.
Many carriages appeared in the cavalry. Naturally, it was not only Diao Chan, but also Cai Yong and his little daughter who was less than ten years old. There were also many collections of books, mainly those unique and very valuable books, which were all brought to the cavalry. Go to Zhaocheng.
Naturally, he was not wearing armor during the march, and his tied hair flowed back with the wind, revealing his lean face.
Many scholars gathered together to see the brave warriors. This may be the only chance in their lives to see a brave warrior.
Diao Chan lifted the curtain of the carriage and looked at this city that she had lived in for many years but had not taken a good look at. She didn't know if she would be able to come back here in the future.
The scholars in Luoyang City felt their eyes blurred when they saw a beautiful woman walking out of a painting, causing waves of restlessness and exclamations.
Luo Shu led the brave warriors out of Luoyang, looking at the majestic city in front of them and listening to the sound of the roaring Luo River. All the Luo family members and the brave warriors dismounted one after another. Diao Chan looked at this scene with some curiosity.
Everyone was seen kneeling down on one knee towards Luoyang and Luo Shui, with their hands folded and their heads lowered. Luo Shu raised his hands high above his head, while the others pressed them on their chests with solemn expressions.
Diao Chan immediately knew what these people were going to do. This was a gesture of chanting saints that had been passed down since ancient times. It was the oldest of all the methods of chanting saints.
She quickly stepped out of the carriage, not caring about the dust on the ground, and knelt directly on the ground. She also lowered her head and crossed her hands on her chest, a very standard posture.
Luo Shu saw this scene from the corner of his eye and smiled imperceptibly. "King Su's spirit is in heaven!"
Luo Shu's voice was like the sound of thunder, and then thousands of people roared in unison, shocking the people gathered in Luoyang City.
Countless people heard this chanting voice. They first looked at each other and then knelt on the ground like a tide. Scattered voices rang out, "King Su is on top."
After so many years, except for special sacrifices, even the chanting words were gradually omitted to four words, but in the end they were unified into one chant: "The spirit of King Su is in the sky!"
"The radiance shines upon the god Luoyang!"
The brave warriors sang a complete hymn, which shocked the people of Luoyang before they all mounted their horses. Diao Chan stood up from the ground and gently patted the dust on her knees.
Luo Shu walked to Diao Chan and asked with a smile: "Does Miss Diao Chan know why she did this?"
"ah?"
When Diao Chan heard this, her cold little face was full of surprise. Isn't this Luo's fixed procedure?
Then she suddenly remembered those rumors. Generally, the Luo family would not sing a whole hymn. The sentence "The spirit of King Su will be glorious and famous in the sky for tens of thousands of years" is enough.
She thought about the sentence about the light shining on the god Luoyang again, and her eyes lit up like moonlight and said: "Is it to warn the people in the city not to destroy Luoyang?"
Luo Shu smiled with a smile on his face, but there was a chill in his voice, "If someone really wants to destroy Luoyang, they can't stop it. This is to tell everyone that if Luoyang is destroyed, they should stretch their necks and wait for Luo's death." revenge."
There is a very real problem now. Rockefeller is very strong, but many people don’t know how strong Rockefeller is, and Rockefeller can’t tell others how strong Rockefeller is. So some people think Rockefeller is very strong, and some people think Rockefeller is very strong. Thinking that Luo Shi is nothing more than that, some people are in awe, while others have no scruples.
Diao Chan heard the chilling meaning in Luo Shu's words, and then saw Luo Shu return to his gentle manner and said: "Miss, please get in the car, we are ready to return to Zhaocheng."
Diao Chan nodded and stepped onto the carriage. ...
"Luo Shi is gone?"
This question echoed in many places in Luoyang City.
There are countless meanings in the question. Some people breathed a sigh of relief, some sighed slightly, and some began to fear.
In the palace, Luo Kong listened to the faint singing and sang along in the palace. When everything was over,
He stood up and thought about what he could do.
Sitting in the palace and waiting for death is naturally not what he wants, but now the palace is mainly controlled by Dong Zhuo. Seventy percent of the palace guards are Dong Zhuo's people. Even the emperor's bodyguards, although they wear the clothes of the Forbidden Army, are basically Dong Zhuo. People from the Xiliang Army.
The remaining 30% are the original Forbidden Army, and the Taiping Army of Bu Cai and others are also among them. Although their power cannot be compared with Dong Zhuo's Xiliang, it is impossible for them to completely abandon the Queen Mother He and the Emperor.
"The Taiping Army and Yuan Shaojun are the key to solving the current problem. If Wen He were here now, he would definitely be able to come up with a way to use small things to achieve greater results."
Luo Kong thought hard, hoping to find an opportunity that would flash by in this anxious state.
Not everyone among the Qinwang princes at the time was able to make a comeback as quickly as Yuan Shao. Cao Cao was even worse than Liu Bei and fled with his brothers to his hometown in Yanzhou and Yuzhou.
Yanzhou and Yuzhou are both populous states, and they are not far behind Jizhou. Although they have experienced more wars than Jizhou, the time span is not very large, and the most important thing is that there is no large-scale plague spread, so Yuzhou and Yanzhou has great potential for war.
This time, Cao Cao's King Qin destroyed a lot of the Cao family and Xiahou family, but the family's support for Cao Cao did not decrease.
After all, Cao Cao was not the only one who failed. As long as he gained prestige among King Qin this time, everything would be possible if he had prestige in this world.
The war between Yuzhou and Yanzhou has never stopped.
The Xiao family of Lanling and the Han family of Huaiyin are all in Xuzhou, and the Zhang family of Xinzheng are no longer in these two states. These three families are busy quelling the bandits in their own families. Only Yinghou is quelling the bandits in Yuzhou and Yanzhou, which means that they are alone. .
Until Luoyang gradually settled down, the situation in the world seemed to gradually become clearer on the surface.
Bandits from various places felt that the imperial court seemed to have freed up its hands, and they became increasingly frightened and uneasy. More and more bandits were subdued by the imperial court. The rebellions between these states and counties seemed to be quelled.
Qiaojun.
Cao Cao returned to his hometown, and all the elders of the clan attended this extremely important meeting to discuss the family's great cause in the next few decades.
The first question is whether the family should simply be a noble family or continue to be a prince!
Being a nobleman is relatively safe. At most, the family power will decline and the whole army will not be wiped out. If you are a prince, it will have a hint of turning your family into a country. The benefits will increase dramatically, but the risk will also be greatly increased.
Even so, which family doesn't want to turn their family into a country?
The emperor of the Han Dynasty lost his position as emperor, which suddenly ignited the flame called ambition in the hearts of countless people.
How could there be no Son of Heaven in the human world ruled by Heaven?
The Han Dynasty did not explain the death of the Han Dynasty. I don’t know who this destiny fell on!
"Mengde, what do you think?"
In the end, the problem still fell on Cao Cao, the most outstanding son of the family. Children of this level could no longer be controlled by the opinions of the clan elders. Instead, the clan elders had to cooperate with these children to do things.
Cao Cao pondered for a moment, and then said decisively: "Of course I want to be a prince. Our Cao family has been wandering between the powerful and the nobles.
If you want to be a noble family now, you will always have to follow other families and eat scraps.
In the early days of the Han Dynasty, the family was so prominent in the Qiao Kingdom. However, at the end of the Han Dynasty, there was a great chaos.
If we don't dare to fight for wealth even in troubled times, then in the next hundred years we will still be the third-rate family we are now.
Even if you have money and food, you will still be looked down upon by others. If you can become a prince, you will be able to turn over in one day.
Even if it fails, as long as it passes the most dangerous stage, it will be a leap in the family's reputation. "
Cao Cao's words made everyone nod involuntarily. This is the reason. Fighting for the world is naturally an extremely dangerous thing, but once it succeeds, it can instantly become the number one family in Tianzi.
In the early Han Dynasty, there was a saying that "Luo and Liu share the world."
This sentence praises both the Luo family and the Liu family. On the surface, it talks about the Luo family's power, but in fact it also secretly elevates the Liu family's status.
Yuan Shu called himself the Zhong family because he felt that after not counting the Luo family, apart from the Liu family, the Yuan family was the most prominent, which is evident from the noble surname of the royal family.
And even if it fails, as long as the person who wins the world is not a mortal enemy, the family's reputation will also increase slowly, and it will not be a problem to get a high position in the new dynasty.
At present, we are not in the habit of killing all our competitors.
"Since you have decided to become a prince, you must choose a good place to raise your troops."
Everyone had no objections to Cao Cao's decision. The Cao family was in such a position of being neither up nor down, and there really weren't many choices they could make.
"The place you choose to raise troops must be easy to defend and difficult to attack. Otherwise, even as brave as King Xiang, it will be wasted in running around. Then you cannot choose a place like Xuzhou where there are four battles and there is no natural barrier."
Xuzhou is a battleground for military strategists, but just occupying Xuzhou is a certain death situation. There are enemies on all sides, and Xuzhou has no obstacles except a small mountain in the core area. The first one was eliminated by Cao Cao. .net
"Qingzhou is a good place. It was the land of Qi State in the past. It is close to the seaside and business is prosperous.
The only drawback is that it is too chaotic now, and the Lu family has too deep roots in Qingzhou. The family has no connections there and cannot get in. "
The most critical thing in this paragraph is the last sentence. In this era, it is difficult to move forward without disciples, old officials, friends and relatives. It is obvious that Cao's power has not yet expanded to Qingzhou.
"We have no chance in Jizhou. Yuan Shao is there and we can't compete with him. It's even more impossible for Youzhou and Bingzhou. That's the territory of the Bianjun family. It's impossible for us powerful nobles from the Central Plains to get involved."
When Cao Cao heard this, he sighed slightly and said, "Is it really still Yuzhou and Yanzhou?"
He recalled the scene when he fled to Yuzhou and Yanzhou, and said directly: "If you have to choose one of these two states, let's choose Yanzhou.
But Yanzhou is also a place of the Fourth War. Before it develops, it may have to rely on Yuan Shao's survival for a long time.
Yuan Shao must hate Yuan Shu very much. If I can really occupy one or two counties and develop, I may be the one who faces Yuan Shu's edge. "
The elder of the family laughed and said, "This is nothing. During the Zhou Dynasty, Jin and Chu were competing for hegemony in the Central Plains. Countless countries in the Central Plains relied on these two countries and the Luo Kingdom for their survival.
I don’t even know how many wars were supported by these three countries. For example, the Wu State, how could it have persisted in front of the Chu State for so many years without the blood-selling support of the Luo State.
Although hundreds of years have passed, these things will not change. Accept Yuan Shao's assistance and attack Yuan Shu for Yuan Shao.
If the benefits given by Yuan Shu are enough, it is normal to attack Yuan Shao in turn.
Where can there be anything else among the princes?
It is said that during the Zhou Dynasty, the princes formed alliances in the morning and betrayed at night. When I was studying, I thought these people really had no trust at all, but now it seems that we have not reached that position. "
Cao Cao frowned slightly when he heard this and said, "You still can't say that. The situation during the Bangzhou period was quite different from now. Righteousness came first among the world. At that time, it was a pure struggle for hegemony.
Whenever possible, we should try our best to maintain our credibility and not betray our alliance casually.
Yanzhou is a populous state, and each county has a large population. The family strength is different in each county. Please ask the clan elders to choose a county with abundant family resources such as food and grass for Cao. "
As Cao Cao said this, he also began to search for useful connections in his mind to see if there was anyone who could help him.
With the support of his family, Cao Cao made intensive preparations to cultivate his power again. After parting ways with Gongsun Zan, Liu Bei's army finally arrived in Qingzhou.
from
Along the way from Youzhou, Liu Bei discovered that Qingzhou was indeed quite chaotic. Every time there was a war in the world, Qingzhou was very noisy.
"Brother, what should we do now?"
Liu Bei touched the things Luo Kong gave him in his arms and the letter he asked for from the Marquis of Ying, and said solemnly: "I have only one goal in coming to Qingzhou, and that is to develop and strengthen our power and regard Qingzhou as Base area, the easiest way to achieve this is to obtain Lu's support.
First, he gradually defeated the Qingzhou bandits and gathered his subordinates. Finally, he rescued the siege of Lu Hou and Qi Gong and gained the support of these two families.
With these two families taking the lead, we will be able to get the support of some Qingzhou nobles.
With the support of the Qingzhou nobles, we will have a base and will no longer be a wandering legion. At that time, we can talk about the future. "
Liu Bei's plan was very clear, and everyone took it for granted, especially Guan, Zhang and Zhao. The battlefield was the destination of these ten thousand enemies, and the sharp blades in their hands were already thirsty!
