The portable magic tower of the Three Kingdoms

"How do you say that?" Xu Huang asked cautiously.

"By the way, you are a thief now, no matter what the reason is. So, there is no way to promote you..." Liu Tao looked at Xu Huang, "Yide, let me be a pawn under your command, and I will promote you as appropriate in the future. ?”

"Very good!" Zhang Fei happened to lose a few soldiers and wanted to add something.With Xu Huang's skill, it took more than ten moves in his hands to defeat him. It's really luxurious for such an existence to be a pawn.

Looking back at that time, Xu Huang was beaten by his desperate style of play, and finally showed his flaws and was defeated. It's really interesting...

Wait, don't you die?Zhang Fei broke out in a cold sweat suddenly. He didn't have the 'Armor Technique' added at that time, and if he really got hit by the axe, he would really die!

"Speaking of it, you have to reflect on it!" Liu Tao probably knew what he was thinking, and directly angrily reprimanded, "I gave you the scroll in the hope that you will be safe. It doesn't matter if you are useless. Can you play more safely? If you do this again in the future, it may not be just Then luck!"

"Yes..." Zhang Fei could only obediently admit his mistake. This time, hundreds of soldiers were killed on his side, and more than a dozen soldiers were killed in battle.

Looking at Liu Tao, 500 people entered the enemy army, and only a dozen people were injured in the end, and there were no injuries or deaths.Compare and judge.

"By the way..." Liu Tao just remembered, Xu Huang still didn't know anything, "Let me introduce, I am a clan member of the Han Dynasty, General Zhengbei, Bingzhou Shepherd, Pinghou Liu Tao. Baibo Valley is also close to Bingzhou, you should have heard pass me."

"You...you are Bingzhou Mu..." Xu Huang was really shocked. After all, the one in front of him was able to quell the Huns' rebellion in a month. It is said that he killed more than [-] Huns. "But why are you here? ?”

"My father..." Liu Tao looked at Liu Yuanqi in the team, "He's in Luoyang, I'll pick him up."

There was chaos in Luoyang, and the Baibo thief also received the news. Now Luoyang is completely a place of right and wrong.Liu Tao's father was in Luoyang. To ensure safety, he came to pick him up in person. There was nothing wrong with him, which was very filial.

"So..." Liu Tao continued to look at Xu Huang, "What is Gong Ming's plan?"

"A defeated general is not brave enough to speak." Xu Huang thought for a while, "But it's up to him!"

Having said that, I guess I still feel a little dark in my heart?Liu Tao looked at Xu Huang with great interest. With Xu Huang's personality, there are only two possibilities: either he was framed by the superior and had to fall into the grass; or he came to suppress the bandits and was captured after being fooled by Yang Feng Had to stay temporarily.

There is nothing wrong with it, Song Jiang used the name of waiting to recruit security in the future, and I don't know how many defeated famous generals joined him...

"If anyone is trustworthy, you can recommend them, and I will select the best for admission." Liu Tao said casually.

"Report to General!" Xu Huang was overjoyed when he heard the words, "Many of the thieves were originally soldiers from various counties. They were implicated and captured. Xu had to stay among the thieves, just to save these soldiers..."

After listening to him talk in detail, I realized that when Xu Huang came with the army to beg for thieves, the county lieutenant was in an ambush and panicked, so he turned around and ran away.He led his soldiers to defend to the death and was almost cornered.In the end, one of the thieves, Yang Feng, came forward and said that as long as he surrendered, these people could live.

Xu Huang had no choice but to submit to the thieves temporarily. These soldiers were preserved because of this, but they had to obey the thieves.Mrs. Guo's attitude was very firm, and Yang Feng kept persuading him before allowing those who refused to follow the bandits to serve as hard labor.

It was also because of Yang Fengrenyi that Xu Huang joined Yang Feng's command.

"Then have you ever thought that this is actually the result of a discussion between Mrs. Guo and Yang Feng. It's just that they performed in front of you, hoping to win your heart?" Liu Tao thought for a while, and tried to ask.

"This..." Xu Huang couldn't say it out. In fact, he also vaguely felt this way, but since he was a thief, he simply stopped thinking about it.

"It seems that you have thought about this possibility. Forget it, I am not interested in the past." Liu Tao looked at Xu Huang, "Since you have surrendered to me, let's do your best on the battlefield. This general advocates measuring If you have the ability to be a general, then naturally you may become a general who leads an army alone in the future!"

"Yes!" Xu Huang immediately stated that this result was obviously the best.Although helpless at the beginning, being a thief is being a thief. This experience may follow him for the rest of his life, and he can only wash it off with real combat achievements on the battlefield.

It is imperative to find out all the former county soldiers.Those who are willing to work, follow him to join Liu Tao's command, and those who are unwilling, give them a few days of dry food and let them go back.

"My lord, is it wrong that so many people know that we have been here?" Yang She found Liu Tao privately, asked if he wanted to follow, and then silenced him.

"There is no impenetrable wall in the world. Do you think any of the scribes under my command can be trusted?" Liu Tao waved his hand, "Just let them know that I went south to pick up my father and went north. That's fine."

Instead of covering it up, it's better to show some telltale signs properly.Anyway, there is no actual evidence to prove that the deaths of the two princes had an actual relationship with them, so that's fine.

Of course, just to be on the safe side, when they left, they asked Yang She to secretly empty out the Wu Dou Mi Sect's dojo.Then follow the secret road to search the mausoleum and confirm that there are no omissions before giving up.

In many literary works, there are often one or two fish that slip through the net, find a corner to hide, and then ruin a good thing.Knowing that there was such a possibility, Liu Tao would naturally not make such a low-level mistake.

Leaving Baibo Valley, directly enter the rush mode.A hundred miles a day, returned to Jinyang in less than three days.

"How's the situation in Luoyang recently?" After Liu Tao returned to the yamen, he found Xun Yu and Guo Jia and asked them about it. After leaving here for almost a month, they almost all took care of them.

"Nowadays in Luoyang, people feel very strange." Xun Yu said slowly, "Dong Zhuo said that he found the Prince's Association, and the young emperor may have died, so he planned to make the Prince's Association the emperor; but Yuan Shao said that in the lower reaches of the Luoshui River, Found the remains of the two princes..."

Chapter 397 Preparing to Discuss Dong Dong Next Year

"Interesting, very interesting!" Liu Tao laughed loudly when he heard the words, "What is the specific matter?!"

The two looked at each other, a little puzzled.You can probably guess that Liu Tao's trip to Luoyang this time is definitely not as simple as picking up Liu Yuanqi.Yuan Shao claimed that the discovery of the remains of the two princes in the lower reaches of the Luoshui River should have a direct relationship with Liu Tao.

There was no other way but to report according to the news that came back from there... Liu Ge and Shangguan Yu had already returned, so the one who sent the news back was the nail that was buried in Luoyang a few years ago.

There are many methods, such as inns, such as paper mills... wine shops are the best, after all, people dare to say anything when they are drunk.The nail was planted in the first place to face the situation where Liu Ge and Shangguan Yu came back and knew nothing about the situation in Luoyang.

"Dong Zhuo found Liu Xie. He claimed that the late emperor had found a substitute for him two years ago. Usually, the substitute who had the same imagination as him was outside. He hid at the Empress Dowager Dong's side. In times of confusion, he He was taken away by the swordsmanship instructor Wang Yue, and then met Dong Zhuo's tribe who came to Beijing." Xun Yu said slowly.

"According to this explanation, Yuan Shao thinks that the Prince's Association that Dong Zhuo found may be the substitute itself, or even the substitute that Dong Zhuo found himself to pretend to be the Prince's Association. After all, the remains of the two princes have been found in the lower reaches of the Luoshui River. On the surface of the river, there is no life." Guo Jia added.

"Then, the key now is not who is right...but the next step, what are they going to do?" Liu Tao was actually thinking about it, he hadn't considered the possibility of a substitute.

In other words, does Dong Zhuo dare to find someone casually and pretend to be the Prince's Association?No, he might really dare!Rumors abolished the establishment, and the young emperor was thrown off the horse directly, and it was even rumored that he was secretly murdered.In the end, he fled to Chang'an, and almost regarded himself as the emperor.

There are of course countless advantages to him in doing so, the question is why take such a risk.Obviously waiting for Yuan Shao to establish a puppet, and after a few years of Zen, as a "conglong hero", he will naturally be appointed as a martyr, and there will be a steady stream of high-ranking officials and generous salaries...

"Tell me, who gave Dong Zhuo such courage... In terms of military strength, he is not bad, but in terms of family affairs and background, he is obviously no better than the Yuan family... or even the Xun family or the Guo family." Liu Tao was thoughtful.

"The only explanation is that Dong Zhuo really believes that the Prince's Association is real. In other words, he believes that a living fake Prince's Association is better than no prince at all." Guo Jia analyzed.

Of course, there is another possibility, that is, the Prince Xie may have really died, and after he died, he was taken away by a traverser and came back to life.Or maybe the original Prince Association was a time traveler, so he really arranged a substitute for himself early on...

It's just that there are many things that cannot be justified. Liu Tao believes that Guo Jia's analysis is more correct.But if this is the case, then as the basis of this inference, Dong Zhuo is actually loyal to the Han Dynasty, which feels somewhat unreasonable.

However, he is more willing to believe this than that the Prince Xie is actually a time traveler, because it is too disgusting to him after all!

In a later life, he read a novel, but halfway through it, the protagonist became a villain, and the real protagonist was another time traveler or something... It is estimated that he would immediately abandon the book.

If possible, this kind of vulgar plot, please don't appear on him, thank you... By the way, who am I talking to?

"No matter what the truth is, in fact, everything is not important. Luoyang will be chaotic, and various assassinations against Dong Zhuo will start. If they succeed, then Yuan Shao will take the throne, drive the prince down, and replace him with another person.

If it fails, then Yuan Shao will definitely leave, abandon the center of the chess game, and move to the corner. "Liu Tao analyzed.

In fact, it is not an analysis. After all, Yuan Shao really assassinated Dong Zhuo, but failed, and finally fled to the Bohai Sea.Not only did Dong Zhuo not pursue responsibility, he also borrowed Liu Xie's hand to make Yuan Shao the prefect of Bohai.In other words, even if it is not sealed, it is meaningless. Maybe Yuan Shao went there and raised his troops to publicly express the side of the Qing emperor, which is relatively passive.

Conversely, appointing him as the prefect of Bohai Sea would make it morally unjustifiable for him to raise troops again.After all, on the one hand, occupying the Bohai Sea, acting as a prefect with a good appearance, and on the other hand, wanting to send troops to clear the emperor's side... It's a bit hypocritical.

From this point of view, Dong Zhuo took the initiative to designate Yuan Shao as the prefect of Bohai Sea, which is obviously more clever.

After Yuan Shao, it was Cao Cao who tried, and immediately went out after failure, and finally raised his troops in Chenliu... But this time on the way to escape, it is obvious that Chen Gong will not be encountered.

"Recently, is there any news from Ma Teng?" Liu Tao asked immediately.

"Some time ago, Ma Teng sent a letter, saying that he had just annexed Han Sui's remnants, and he was following our instructions to befriend the Qiang tribe and at the same time separate Jincheng County. Look for opportunities to become the actual controller of Liangzhou. In addition, he relies on us to open up The trade route sent us three hundred Xiliang war horses!" Xun Yu said hastily upon hearing this.

"It seems that there is no updated news, or he hasn't received the news..." Liu Tao nodded, "But he probably won't believe the nonsense that the Prince's Association has a substitute. Or, in terms of interest demands, he doesn't believe it. It will be better."
