Chapter 199 Sir! Times have changed! (Twelve thousand words are offered, thanks
Zhang Fei's stomach really hurts, and it wasn't because he couldn't scold Liu Cheng or just to avoid being scolded.
He told Liu Bei and others that his stomachache was because he had eaten something wrong and had a bad stomach.
The real situation is that eating has ruined your stomach.
It's just that what he calls a bad stomach is different from what most people understand by a bad stomach.
What most people understand by eating a bad stomach is eating food that breaks the stomach, causing stomach pain.
But Zhang Fei had a bad stomach, and what he ate was not food, but the pebbles that Zhang Fei had put in his mouth recently and used to practice his swearing skills!
When facing Liu Cheng yesterday, he suffered another humiliating defeat, which made Zhang Fei extremely angry and resentful.
After returning to the camp, he put the pebble into his mouth and continued to practice his curse skills, vowing to defeat the shameless traitor Liu Cheng!
Thinking back on what happened today, he was really angry and extremely humiliated.
Then, in this state, I accidentally swallowed the pebble...
It was difficult to get in with such a pebble, and Zhang Fei choked until stars appeared in his eyes before he got in.
When I go out now, it is naturally not easy to go out.
Otherwise, Zhang Fei would not have a stomachache.
This feeling of having a stomach full of food but unable to speak out is even more uncomfortable than the previous time when I was scolded by Liu Cheng and being scolded by Liu Cheng until my stomach was full and I couldn't speak out. It was even more uncomfortable...
Liu Cheng did not lead his troops, or sent people to chase the retreating Gongsun Zan and his party.
Now, it is certain that Dong Zhuo will move the capital.
Liu Cheng didn't have to worry about beating Gongsun Zan too hard, which would make Dong Zhuo feel too little pressure and give up the plan to move the capital.
But he still couldn't beat Gongsun Zan too hard.
After all, in addition to Dong Zhuo moving the capital, he also had to leave manpower to contain Yuan Shao.
Of course, another reason is that they are worried that Gongsun Zan and others are using the pretext of retreat to lure him and others out of seclusion so that they can attack him and others.
At this time, he had already passed the time of quickly gaining prestige based on his military exploits.
Doing nothing at this time will allow the things he wants to go smoothly, and he will naturally not cause trouble...
Liu Cheng was not idle here at Sishui Pass either.
After waiting here for three days, he began to tell Hua Xiong, Li Su and others about Dong Zhuo's preparations to move the capital.
Some people began to pack their bags secretly and prepare to retreat.
Of course, in addition to these, they are still discussing military situation and formulating strategies with Hua Xiong and others.
The main thing is how to not be chased by these Guandong soldiers and horses when leading the troops to retreat.
When the troops in Guandong are retreating, if they pursue and kill themselves and others, what should they do and what method should they use to kill these people and make a beautiful counterattack?
While gaining military merit, he also ensured that his side would not suffer any major losses.
After being captured by Liu Cheng and subdued, Xu Huang also became his captain at Liu Cheng's request.
Under Liu Cheng's special order, he also participated in these meetings.
Hua Xiong and others already know Xu Huang's origin and history.
They felt a little unworthy of Xu Huang participating in such a meeting and discussing such a major military matter with them and others.
After all, Xu Huang’s origins are left here.
Of course, they would not say anything out loud because of this, or ostracize and attack Xu Huang.
This is not to give Xu Huang face, but to give their Uncle Liu Huang face.
After all, it was Uncle Liu Huang who personally issued the order for Xu Huang to participate in these matters.
However, these are just the beginning.
As the time they spent together increased, they gradually discovered that this person who had been promoted by the emperor's uncle and valued him very much was not an ordinary person. He usually didn't speak much during meetings.
But as soon as you open your mouth, you will often have some unique insights and be able to speak to the point.
This made Hua Xiong, Li Su, Li Jin, Liao Hua and others quickly abandon their prejudice against Xu Huang, start to become serious and accept him.
At the same time, I also became more admirable for the emperor's uncle's vision in looking at people.
Sure enough, no one who can be taken seriously by the emperor's uncle is ordinary, no one is a idiot...
After this series of meetings, Liu Cheng and others gradually figured out the matter and formulated a series of countermeasures.
Just waiting for Dong Xiangguo to move the capital.
With such a plan, Hua Xiong and others became less interested in going out to attack Sun Jian and others.
Most of their thoughts were affected by the relocation of the capital.
And Liu Cheng, in his spare time, would look in the direction of Luoyang from time to time.
He is very concerned about the relocation of the capital and is looking forward to it.
After all, moving the capital is related to many of his plans.
In addition, he also arranged a special, but very important task for Lu Yangjiao.
The theme of this mission is treasure hunting.
The main goal of the treasure hunt is to pass down the national jade seal!
The jade seal passed down to the country had been lost during the chaos caused by the execution of He Jin and the execution of Yuan Shao and others.
Dong Zhuo and others could not be found.
As a person from later generations, Liu Cheng knew the whereabouts of this jade seal.
After all, the fact that Sun Jian salvaged the jade seal from the well in Luoyang Palace is not a secret. Anyone who knows a little bit about the Three Kingdoms basically knows it.
Liu Cheng is naturally no exception.
Of course Liu Cheng knew how important and significant the imperial seal was.
Especially when he has some ideas about that position and wants to compete for it, he feels that this thing is even more important.
Of course he would not forget such an important thing.
Before leaving Luoyang on this trip, Liu Chenggong had secretly approached Lu Yang and explained the matter, asking Lu Yang to wait for the right time and arrange extremely reliable manpower to salvage the well in the Luoyang Palace.
Looking for the Jade Seal.
However, the palace is not easy to enter.
Even at this time, when Dong Zhuo was in power and the imperial power of the Han Dynasty was severely weakened, it was still not easy to enter.
After all, this is where the highest power of an empire is symbolized.
What's more, Yuxi is the most likely harem.
Even Dong Zhuo is currently only using some means to get some people out of it, and he doesn't dare to actually spend the night there...
Before Dong Zhuo started moving the capital from Luoyang, it was impossible for Lu Yang to send people inside to salvage it.
Liu Cheng would not let Lu Yang do this, after all, it would be too easy to be exposed!
…
In Luoyang, Lu Yang looked in the direction of the imperial palace in a trance.
Even though the lord has left Luoyang for several days, Lu Yang's heart is still uneasy.
The mission assigned to him by his lord was really too surprising!
After Dong Xiangguo moved the capital, he went to the palace to salvage the imperial seal!
That is the imperial seal!
The symbol of imperial power!
What made Lu Yang feel even more uneasy was not the shock brought by something like the Imperial Seal itself, but the fact that his lord seemed to know that the Imperial Seal was lost in a well.
It’s the meaning revealed in this matter!
My master asked me to do this quietly, and the news must not be leaked.
This shows that my lord does not want others to know the news of the imperial seal, and has no intention of returning it to the emperor or Dong Xiangguo.
The meaning contained in this, the more you taste it, the more thought-provoking it is.
Following this journey, Lu Yang already knew that his lord was a man with great ambitions.
But I never thought that my lord’s ambition would be so great!!
That is the emperor!!
After the strong shock, Lu Yang did not feel scared or flinched.
On the contrary, he became more determined.
As a person who has already made up his mind to follow Cheng Geer, what he is least afraid of is that his lord is ambitious and has a big heart.
The bigger your lord's ambition is, the more your status will rise as a person attached to him...
Lu Yang took a deep breath and clenched his fist vigorously.
I have already arranged the manpower for the matters entrusted to me by the Lord, and I am just waiting for Dong Zhuo to move the capital before I can proceed!!
Amid the expectations of many people, Dong Zhuo, who had been planning and thinking about it for a while, also started taking action.
After all, at this time, with the show of force of his good grandson-in-law Liu Cheng and the actions of the other generals, the threats on the north and south sides of Luoyang have been eliminated.
This is a good opportunity to move the capital.
If the capital is not moved during this period, there will be trouble again when these repulsed thieves lead their troops over again...
There is no doubt that many subjects in Luoyang were shocked when they suddenly heard Dong Zhuo's words about moving the capital.
Situ Yang Biao, who had been very tolerant of Dong Zhuo before, finally couldn't bear it anymore and directly opposed it and confronted Dong Zhuo.
Taiwei Huang Wan also did not remain silent this time.
He stood beside Yang Biao, supported Yang Biao's statement, argued with Dong Zhuo, and wanted to persuade Dong Zhuo to get rid of this treasonous idea.
The two of them are very eloquent.
Especially Yang Biao, a man from a wealthy family with a long history of Confucian classics. His speech is well-founded, his eloquence, his thinking, and his logic are all top-notch. In addition, he has Huang Wan beside him, so his combat power is very high.
Can.
After a few words, he actually refuted the reasons given by Dong Zhuo for moving the capital, leaving Dong Zhuo speechless and unable to answer.
Such a scene made Liu Fan, Sima Fang, Ma Yu and others who were worried about the country, but could not say anything at all on this occasion, feel extremely relieved.
How could Dong Zhuo, a border warrior with a bad background, be able to argue against Yang Situ and the others?
This time, Yang Situ and the others were debated and speechless. They were completely defeated. They should not think about moving the capital again...
However, what happened next caused many people to be slapped in the face.
Dong Zhuo indeed couldn't defeat them, but that didn't mean that he would stop talking about it and never mention it again.
Instead, he became very angry and overturned the table!
Staring, holding the hilt of the sword, he was about to attack and kill someone on the spot.
Judging from his previous reaction, he is really capable of doing this.
Such an operation immediately stunned Liu Fan and others.
They have not yet completely changed their thinking and have stepped away from the rules that everyone used to solve problems before. Only then are they shocked to realize that times have changed!
This is no longer the age of pure reasoning.
In terms of reasoning, Dong Zhuo really couldn't reason with them, but this guy still held the handle of a knife in his hand!
When you can't argue, in addition to admitting defeat, you can also turn over the table and use the knife in your hand to reason with them!!
Lieutenant Huang Wan and Situ Yang Biao were now riding a tiger, unable to dismount. They did not expect that Dong Zhuo would react like this.
But they didn't back down, and they weren't going to back down this time.
They had already given in a lot before!
As a result, after retreating again and again, Dong Zhuo did not get enough, but got worse!!
If we continue to retreat, I am afraid that the whole country of the Han Dynasty will be ruined!
When Dong Zhuo saw the reaction of the two men, he was immediately furious. After thinking for a moment, he was about to order the warriors to come in and take the two men down and chop them down.
After arriving in Luoyang for such a long time, Dong Zhuo was no longer the same Dong Zhuo he was before. He no longer had much patience with people from this literary family.
No matter what the person's status is, what his reputation is, or what his family background is.
It was at this time that Sikong Xunshuang, another third-level official who had fiercely opposed Dong Zhuo and had never spoken in response to Yang Biao and Huang Wan, stood up and spoke on behalf of Huang Wan.
The two of them persuaded and persuaded.
At the same time, from the standpoint of these two people, I briefly explained some of their reasons for doing this.
It gives both sides a step down.
With the addition of Xun Shuang, Yang Biao and Yang Biao were finally unable to challenge Dong Zhuo, and Dong Zhuo did not execute them.
This is the reason why Xun Shuang did not join the opposition to Dong Zhuo's move of the capital at the beginning.
The purpose is to check the situation first, and when a critical situation arises, go to the rescue and prevent the two sides from completely stalemate and causing loss of life.
After some operations, he not only did not put himself in a dangerous situation, but also gained the favor of Yang Biao, Huang Wan, and Dong Zhuo in one fell swoop.
It has to be said that literati from the Yingchuan family are very smooth when dealing with others...
After the court meeting, Yang Biao and Huang Wan couldn't help crying and sighing.
When Xun Shuang passed by them, he whispered to them: "You must hold back! You must live!"
…
"When did Xun Sikong become a person who is greedy for life and afraid of death?!"
After Xun Shuang left, on the way back, Liu Fan clenched his fists and said bitterly.
"Sometimes, dying is not difficult at all, but living is difficult. Live well!"
Wang Yun, the minister who was walking in front of him, turned his head and looked at him and said something, and then continued on his way without saying a word...
