Three Kingdoms Eschatology

Yuan Shu's troops did not intend to stay in the slightest.They just rearranged the queue a little bit and made it a little narrower. After giving way to Lu Bu and his party, they continued to bury their heads on the road, passing by Lu Bu and the others.

This aroused Lu Bu's curiosity even more. He stopped by the side of the road and wanted to stop someone to ask what happened.At this moment, a general rode forward surrounded by his personal guards. Lu Bu took a closer look and found that it was Yuan Shu himself.

Lu Bu clasped his fists and saluted, "General Zhonglang Lu Bu has met the Empress General here. Dare I ask where the Empress General is going?"

Seeing that it was Lu Bu, Yuan Shu also stopped his horse.There was a hint of uneasiness on his face first, and then he said with a smirk: "It turns out that Du Tinghou has returned. This general is following the imperial court's order to go to Runan and Nanyang to hunt down some thieves."

Lu Bu was surprised:

But because of his status, it was inconvenient for him to ask more questions.After exchanging pleasantries, he said to Yuan Shu: "So, the last general dare not delay the later general, so I will take my farewell."

When the two columns of people were far away, Yuan Shu just turned to look at Lu Bu's back and the city of Luoyang.A cruel smile appeared on his face, and he said to himself: "The sea is wide and the fish leaps, and the sky lets the birds fly. Farewell, Luoyang. But, one day, XX will come back with another identity!"

After entering Beijing as Dong Zhuo, he was No.1 in Luoyang as a son of a wealthy family.There are two reasons for this. One is that Dong Zhuo tried to deprive him of the little military power he had in the capital, and even wanted to annex his private trilogy.

Second, based on the form, he concluded that Dong Zhuo's power would inevitably collapse, at least it was impossible to continue in Luoyang.

He wasn't the only one who saw this.Most of the gentry in the capital are well aware of this.Relying on looting and tomb robbery can meet temporary needs, but how can it make up for the shortfall in raising troops for a long time.And this kind of killing the chicken and picking the eggs will make the gap bigger and bigger.

It's just that they saw this about half a year later than Feng Yu.At that time, when Feng Yu talked with Xun Yu and Wu Yang, he had already explained the truth here.

In addition, Dong Zhuo carried out the move of abolishing the establishment, and even poisoned the deposed emperor Liu Bian recently.It has already been decided that it is impossible for him to form an alliance with the gentry group, and it is impossible for many gentry to be used by him, which has accelerated the disintegration of Dong Zhuo's power.

At the time of the collapse, Dong Zhuo and his Xiliang generals will definitely go crazy for the last time.A gentleman cannot stand under a dangerous wall, so Yuan Shu made 36 tricks, and the best strategy was to walk away, and escaped from Luoyang with his own brigade.

At this time, Dong Zhuo still didn't pay attention to these aristocratic families and ministers, and he didn't pay attention to them.He even held the illusion that he was sitting in the capital, the aristocratic family was in charge of the place for him, and the cooperation was win-win.

Therefore, Yuan Shu did not encounter any obstacles when he left Luoyang with his trilogy.In addition, Dong Zhuo appointed Yuan Shao, who fled Luoyang later, as the prefect of Bohai.

……

On the same day, Feng Yu, who was sitting in the Zhuyang mansion, received two messages.

One of them came from the pigeon house - Cai Yan arrived in Luoyang safely, and everything was settled properly.

Another piece of news is that Yuan Shu is here.Although he is stationed in Luyang, which is still far away from him, there is another force on the ground in Nanyang out of thin air.Moreover, he also "borrowed" food from himself in the name of "General Later".

Feng Yu thought for a moment, then ordered someone to transfer [-] Dendrobium grains and send them to him with his own handwriting.

Yuan Shu wanted to "borrow" two thousand dendrobium.However, Feng Yu wrote in his handwriting that he gave Yuan Shu [-] hu of grain and grass for military supplies, and stated that this was the only surplus grain and grass in Zhuyang.Of course, in fact, this only accounts for [-]% of Zhuyang's surplus grain.

Feng Yu didn't mean to be afraid of Yuan Shu at all.With Yuan Shu's current strength of several thousand plays, it is impossible to pose any threat to Feng Yu.He gave Yuan Shu food because he really hoped that Yuan Shu could gain a foothold in Luyang, so that Dong Zhuo's army could be blocked from entering Yingchuan and Runan along the Ru River.

He did not forget the promise he had made to Xun Yu at that time, that it would happen sooner or later that Dong Zhuo's army would go south to Yingchuan Runan to plunder.If Yuan Shu could stand firm in Luyang, it would not be so easy for Dong Zhuojun to drive to Yingchuan.

……

Under the light of the oil lamp, Wei Lier realized that something was wrong with her husband today.Feng Yu swallowed the noodle cakes one by one, but didn't eat any vegetables.She put down her bowl and asked softly, "Husband, is there something on your mind?" At the same time, she picked up a chicken leg and a chopstick of vegetables and put them into Feng Yu's bowl.

Feng Yu finally made up his mind, and said straight to the point: "Li'er, if I marry a wife, can you agree?"

Li'er was taken aback for a moment, and then said with a chuckle: "Isn't this a matter of course? There is no reason why a man should not marry a wife. How can I disagree. I have no right to disagree."

When Lier was talking, he saw that Lier's friendliness value was no longer at full value, and dropped five points suddenly.Lier's laughter was also a little artificial.

"Oh... that's good... good." Feng Yu whispered.

Li'er continued: "Actually, Li'er should have brought this matter up to her husband. As a feudal lord, your husband should have had a regular wife long ago. What's more, being a concubine... Li'er has been accepted as your husband's concubine for more than a year. Come on, nothing comes out. This... This is all Li'er's fault, I'm not saying that Li'er should have offered to let her husband marry a wife... Li'er is too selfish..."

As she spoke, her eye circles turned red, and her speech became incoherent. Feng Yu was so frightened that he sat over and hugged her in his arms to comfort her.

After comforting her for a while, Li'er burst into laughter.Ask Feng Yu: "I just don't know what kind of person that sister is."

Feng Yu told the truth about the matter, and Li'er sighed: "This may be a match made in heaven. It is very difficult for the husband to find a good wife in Zhuyang. Such a coincidence is really blessed by God."

Feng Yu chatted and said: "I am also blessed by God when I am with you."

Li'er suddenly said sternly: "No. My husband and I are together because of my husband's favor. The relationship between Li'er and my husband is not only the love between husband and wife, but also the kindness of the lord to the servants. Li'er will never forget this. I will always remember the days when I was in Feng Mansion in Luoyang."

Feng Yu saw that the friendship value above her head had returned to full value, and took her into his arms gently...

Chapter 049 Returning to the Capital

After crossing the Mian River at the ferry outside Zhuyang, several riders galloped northeast.They are Dishe messengers who often travel between Zhuyang and Luoyang.

After Feng Yu signed the peace agreement with Liu Biao, he sent people to Luoyang to reopen the mansion.As a result, information exchanges with the imperial court were established again.At this time, other princes stopped communicating with the capital mansion, but he did the opposite, actually preparing for another turmoil in the Han Dynasty in the future.

What is different from the past is that these messengers went to the capital this time, and they also brought pigeon coops.Naturally, the pigeons in the cage were the pigeons brought to Cai Yan.In addition, they have an additional task, which is to visit Lu Bu with a generous gift.In fact, it is to remind Lu Bu to come to Feng Yu to propose marriage as soon as possible.

Feng Yu hopes to marry Cai Yan as soon as possible, but he is not in such a rush.He was so anxious because he knew that he might meet with Dong Zhuo's forces at any time and become a hostile relationship.

In addition to the reason that Dong Zhuojun would come to Yingchuan and Runan to plunder at any time.It was also because Yuan Shu and Yuan Shao had escaped from Luoyang one after another.If there is no accident, Yuan Shao will be able to obtain Jizhou from Han Fu in the near future, and then he will launch an alliance against Dong.

At that time, it will be difficult to bring Cai Yan to Zhuyang again.

……

In a mansion in the outer city of Luoyang, Lu Bu received the gifts and letters from Feng Yu from the messengers, and sent them away with a few polite words.

When he came to the back hall, Lu Bu opened the letter and read it a few times, then he burst out laughing.The wife Yan who was beside him gave him a tender look, and said: "It's rare to see the general so happy, and I will tell my concubine what is happy."

Lv Bu smiled and said, "Ma'am, I don't know. The last time I was out on a business trip, I met Feng Yu, Marquis of Zhuyang. I promised him to propose marriage to Cai Yong. I didn't expect this kid to be so impatient, and to send a letter so soon to urge someone to marry me." Yes. It seems that this person also has weaknesses, and he is also a hero and a beauty."

Yan teased: "Can the general pass the beauty pass?" Lu Bula smiled while holding Yan's hand: "Of course I didn't pass, isn't the lady a beauty?"

Yan sighed and said, "However, the general should also take another concubine. Over the years, the concubine has only added a daughter for the general, and nothing else..."

Lu Bu waved his hand and said, "This matter is not urgent, you and I are still young."

……

In the courtyard of a mansion in the inner city of Luoyang, Cai Yong was sitting in a garden pavilion, holding tea soup brought by his servants, staring at the carp in the pond in a daze.

Even if he is a generation of great Confucianism who claims to be a man of character, he is a peerless national scholar.But this huge change in life circumstances still made him at a loss and flattered.

Just over two months ago, he was in exile in Jianghai, relying on the alms of his friends to help him through the days, and his daughter had to teach piano art, poetry and Fu to the female family members of the wealthy Jiangnan family to subsidize his family.Now it is a mansion and mansion, and there are many servants.Dong Zhuo even assigned him several beauties and concubines.

But what broke his psychological defense more than this was Dong Zhuo's summoning for three consecutive days.Every time Dong Zhuo summoned him, he would be promoted once. Within three days, Cai Yong successively served as Shi Yushi, Zhishu Shiyushi, Shangshu, Shizhong, Zuozhong Lang, and was granted the title of Gaoyang Township Marquis.

At this moment, Cai Yong's heart fell into extreme contradictions.On the one hand, it is the extreme disgust for Dong Zhuo's perverse actions, and on the other hand, it is gratitude to Dong Zhuo for his kindness.But he didn't expect that at this very moment, the eyes of so many nobles from aristocratic families were staring at him viciously.

When he was in a daze, a servant came in and reported: "Patriarch, Dutinghou Lv Bu begs to see you."

Cai Yong was not surprised when he heard this.Over the past few days, there has been an endless stream of people coming to visit him, just to see him favored by Dong Zhuo and come to make friends.Usually he refuses to see you.

But this Lu Bu is the celebrity beside Dong Zhuo.What's more important is to escort their father and daughter all the way here, even if it's a business trip, it's a kindness, and it's not justified if they don't see each other.

Cai Yong had seen Lu Bu in the hall, and he was surprised when he knew his purpose.He thought that Lu Bu was here to make friends with him, but he didn't expect that Lu Bu was here to propose marriage.

"I don't know which family Erlang Marquis Du Ting is proposing for?" Cai Yong asked suspiciously.

Lu Bu laughed and said, "Duke Cai has already met this person. He is the Marquis of Zhuyang Feng Yu we met in Nanyang."

Cai Yong also smiled: "I still wonder who it is. It turned out to be this kid. No wonder I chatted with Yan'er until late at night. From the old man's point of view, this person is okay in all aspects. The only fly in the ointment is that he is not in the capital, but The country is in the fiefdom. My daughter married him, not to mention living in that remote place. It is also rare for the old man to see his daughter on weekdays."

Lu Bu suddenly raised his sword eyebrows, put away his smile, and said seriously: "With Cai Gong's knowledge, can't you see the current situation in the world?"

Cai Yong was very surprised when he heard that Lu Bu suddenly changed the subject, but after a few breaths of surprise, he understood what Lu Bu meant.Asked: "What does Marquis Du Ting mean, there will be a storm in the capital in the future? Is it safer to be in the wild than in the court?"

Lv Bumo didn't answer, noncommittal.Lu Bu's news in Luoyang must be much better than that of Cai Yong, who just arrived here.

He knew that in recent days, a large number of children from aristocratic families escaped from Luoyang, the most representative ones were Yuan Shu and Yuan Shao.In addition, a rebellion against Dong Zhuo is also brewing.The latter will definitely be disintegrated by Dong Zhuo who has already noticed, but the former will not be so easy to deal with when he gathers an army outside.

Cai Yong took two sips of the tea soup and said, "Okay, the old man agrees to this marriage, but I have to ask Yan'er what he thinks. Please wait a moment, Marquis Duting." After finishing speaking, he stepped into the back room Tang looks for Cai Yan.

Cai Yan had already received Feng Yu's letter with great joy, knowing that someone would propose marriage to her father for Feng Yu in the near future.Did not expect to come so soon.Seeing Cai Yong, he blushed naturally, and reluctantly agreed.

After receiving Cai Yong's final answer, Lu Bu was overjoyed.He had fulfilled a promise to Feng Yu, and Feng Yu had owed him a favor.

Feng Yu, who was five hundred miles away in a straight line, got the news immediately.A few hours later, the pigeons released by Cai Yan brought him this good news.

When the messenger brought back the news, Feng Yu had already made preparations.A team of scouts, two teams of tiger and leopard cavalry, and a team of luggage.Carrying six carts of betrothal gifts, enough dry food and dried meat to go back and forth, and of course seven or eight homing pigeons just in case of accidents, they began to march towards Luoyang.

For Feng Yu, this trip to Luoyang is undoubtedly a dangerous move.However, he thought that Cai Yong and Lu Bu, the two Dong Zhuo celebrities who were civil and military, would give him some support in the capital.And at this time Dong Zhuo has no reason to regard him as an enemy.He even got ready to meet Dong-joo.

Nothing happened all the way, and after a few days of marching, they approached Dagu Pass in Luoyang. Feng Yu ordered the two tiger and leopard riders to change their attire and remove their vests and iron armor.Otherwise, it would be too eye-catching for them to enter the city.Then they lined up and entered the outskirts of Luoyang.

Chapter 050

In the outer city of Luoyang, in front of the suspension bridge over the moat, a group of soldiers were checking and questioning the people entering and leaving the city one by one.

Feng Yu's personal guards showed them the official certificates of the Marquis of Zhuyang.After a leader-like soldier looked at it seriously, a smile appeared on his face.

He cupped his hands and bowed to Feng Yu and said: "It turned out to be the Marquis of Zhuyang, the commander of General Fenwei. The Marquis of Duting has known about it a long time ago, please come in!" He waved his hand, and the rest of the soldiers moved away for a while. Refuse the horse and let Feng Yu drive by.

At this time, another voice sounded: "Wait a minute." Feng Yu followed the reputation and saw that this person was also a soldier leader, but his hair was disheveled, and his attire was obviously that of a Qiang.It was obviously a Qiang soldier from the Xiliang army of Dong Zhuo's direct lineage.

This Qiang man also had a smiling face, but the words were not so pleasant: "Don't blame the lord. There are orders on the peak, and we young ones can only follow the rules, otherwise the army sticks will fall on us. You guys You can’t bring so many soldiers and horses into the city! You can only bring a hundred people into the city at most, and those who enter the city must apply for a pass, and when they leave the city, they must use the pass to get out of the city.”

The leader of the personal scouting team looked at Feng Yu, and Feng Yu nodded.In the end, except for fifty scouts and fifty soldiers carrying luggage across the bridge into the city, the rest of the people set up camp in the outskirts of the city.However, gold, silver and brocade can be exchanged for food here, eliminating the worries of food logistics.

After Feng Yu settled down in the mansion, it was getting late, and it was not appropriate to go to Cai's mansion to send a betrothal gift at this time.He simply went to visit Lu Bu first with generous gifts.

Along the way, Feng Yu observed the streets of Luoyang, and found that although the city has been open for so long, it is still no different from the Luoyang city during the Great Plague, extremely depressed.

It's a coincidence that it's not as good as the early arrival, as Lu Bu just happened to be entertaining his Bingzhou generals in the mansion today.Lu Bu was not polite about the expensive gift Feng Yu gave him, and accepted two loads of refined snowflake salt and a box of brocade gold and silver.Then he invited Feng Yu to have a banquet with his Bingzhou military generals Zhang Liao, Gao Shun, Cheng Lian and others.

If you don't speculate, you will spend more than half a sentence, but if you meet a bosom friend, you will have less than a thousand glasses of wine.Feng Yu and this group of people naturally belonged to the latter situation. In the middle of the night, Feng Yufang, smelling of alcohol all over his body, returned to his Zhuyang mansion under the escort of his personal guards.

Zhuyang Mansion is actually a set of private houses rented in the Chengguo District of the outer city, with more than a dozen front and back rooms, and a small courtyard.The other rooms have been fully occupied by the soldiers, and even tents are set up in the courtyard.Only Feng Yu is alone in a single room.

Feng Yu was taking a bath in the bathroom, and when he was about to finish, he heard bursts of noise coming from outside.He hurriedly dressed and came out to check. It turned out that it was Yousi from the capital who was rounding up the wards with the government soldiers.

The soldiers of the Zhuyang Army he brought didn't seem to give them a good look, and the two confronted each other in the courtyard, yelling at each other.Seeing Feng Yu coming out, his personal soldiers came up to report: "Your Majesty, they want to search our residence. The subordinates thought it was rude, so they rejected them."

While speaking, a general on the other side heard this, guessed Feng Yu's identity, stepped forward and clasped his fists and said, "Your Excellency, are you the Marquis of Zhuyang?"

"Exactly!"

The general immediately smiled and said: "I hope that you will be more tolerant, and I will not let a single corner of it go when I am ordered to search for the important criminals of the court. Please don't embarrass the little ones."

Feng Yu nodded, turned around and said calmly to his own soldiers: "This is not Zhuyang Houguo, someone else's territory, so follow other people's rules."

After the soldiers of Zhuyang Army listened to the order, they stopped blocking the opponent immediately.These government servants and soldiers in the capital got busy, some with lanterns, holding portraits to compare the faces of all the people in the courtyard one by one, and some searched the rooms one by one.

When Feng Yu's dormitory was finally searched, Feng Yu's personal soldier still couldn't see it, and said: "This is the dormitory of our lord, if there is something missing in the printed and ribboned documents, some court secrets have been leaked , you cannot escape suspicion."

While he was speaking, a soldier opened the door of the room. Hearing what he said, he hurriedly glanced at the empty room and retreated.

Soldiers participating in the search and inspection returned to the courtyard one after another and reported the situation to the leading general.The general said to Feng Yu again with a smile on his face: "Thank you, Junhou, for taking care of me, let me finish my routine work."

"But the search is complete, and the search is careful?" Feng Yu asked with a hint of chatter.

"Where, where, the little ones are just routine. Every household has to do this. It is definitely not aimed at the prince. Please be more generous." After speaking, the general waved his hand and quickly withdrew from the mansion with the soldiers and officials.

The reason why the general is so respectful to Feng Yu is not because Feng Yu is a county magistrate.It was because the news spread quickly in the capital, and many officials and generals already knew why Feng Yu came to the capital this time, and knew that he had some kind of relationship with Lu Bu and Cai Yong.

Only then did the courtyard become quiet again, and Feng Yu returned to his bedroom and closed the door.Only then said in a cold voice:

"Cao Cao, don't lie down there, come out!"

There was a rustling sound from under the bed, and after a while, a bearded young man in his thirties emerged.

He asked suspiciously, "Who are you? How do you know I'm hiding here, and how do you know my name?"

Feng Yu laughed and said, "Not only do I know that you are Cao Cao, but I also know that you are the former Lieutenant Cao Mengde of the Xiyuan Army Dian Military Academy. Your father is Cao Song. You are now wanted by the court."

In fact, after the level of the protagonist in Feng Yu's system is upgraded, the bird's-eye view of the battlefield command module can already see the interior.When the soldiers searched outside, he knew someone was hiding in his bedroom.Then the system task panel popped up a prompt

[Mission: Rescue, mission content: Rescue the wanted Cao Cao from Luoyang City.Rewards for completing the mission: Thousands of people shelter card x10, 50-mile plank road x3, kilometer-wide elevation dam x1]

Combining these, he guessed that it was Cao Cao who was being hunted by the Luoyang soldiers and hiding under the bed.

Feng Yu guessed right, this person is indeed Cao Cao.His luck is not as good as Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu.Just when he was about to abandon his official position and escape from Luoyang City, Dong Zhuo had already woken up.

As a result, Cao Cao not only failed to escape, but became a wanted criminal and was wanted everywhere.As the city defenses suddenly tightened, he couldn't leave the city either.I had no choice but to hide in Tibet in the Middle East of Luoyang Outer City.Today, he was being chased so hard that he even hid here.

At this time, Cao Cao's eyes flashed two cold lights: "Are you going to take me to ask Dong Zhuo for a reward?"

Feng Yu laughed and said, "So what?"

A white light hit, Cao Cao made a sudden move, drew out the dagger in his sleeve and stabbed at Feng Yu.

Feng Yu dodged the stab with a slight sway, and then grabbed Cao Cao by the collar and threw him to the ground, and the dagger flew far away.

"You are really suspicious by nature. I want to dedicate you to Dong Zhuo. Why wait until now? Of course I am here to save you." Feng Yu continued to smile at Cao Cao who sat up from the ground and was panting heavily. Said.

Chapter 051

In the early morning of the second day, the sun had just risen to the top of the city wall of Luoyang, and there was music and music in front of Cai Yong's mansion.According to the current custom, after the betrothal gift is given, it is tantamount to getting married, and then choose an auspicious day to welcome the bride and let the bride into the door.

Feng Yu had already asked someone to calculate it. After the betrothal gift is given today, the day after tomorrow will be an auspicious day.That is to say, if all goes well, they can leave Luoyang with Cai Yan the day after tomorrow.As for Cai Yong who stayed in Luoyang, there was definitely no danger of safety before Dong Zhuo died.During this period, Feng Yu can always find a chance to rescue him from danger.
