Han Dao world

The two walked side by side, talking and laughing softly, as if they had been friends for many years.

In fact, Xun You is more than ten years older than Chen Gong, and the two are not in the same age group, and they didn't have much contact before.It's just that they are thousands of miles away from home. Since they are all from Yanyu, they have the friendship of fellow villagers and get close naturally.

But there are not many opportunities for Xun You to come to him on his own initiative.

As Xun You said, the earth returns to spring, the floating ice in the river melts, and there is a touch of grass on both sides of the river, full of vitality and hope.Cows and horses are scattered in the nearby river valley, and children run and play on the grass, occasionally reciting a few new books they just learned.

"Is this situation what Gongtai wishes?" Xun You raised his eyes and looked around with a relaxed expression.

Chen Gong didn't answer immediately, but looked into the distance.After a long time, he let out a long sigh.

"Servant, I am from Dongwuyang. Zang Hong rebelled against Yuan Shao based on Dongwuyang. No matter who wins or loses, Dongwuyang will suffer innocent casualties. Even if the beautiful scenery in front of me is picturesque, how can I feel at ease? What do I think? Nian, only Wang Shidong will come out to pacify the world."

Xun You was a little surprised. "Are you from Tobu Yang?"

"Yes."

"Can Zang Hong hold Dongwu Yang?"

Chen Gong lowered his head. "Zang Hong is generous, able to win people's hearts, and he was born in the general family, and he is proficient in warfare. Even with Yuan Shao's strength, he may not be able to break through the city easily. But the longer Zang Hong defends, the more dangerous Dongwu Yang will be."

"Are you worried about Yuan Shao's revenge?"

Chen Gong smiled wryly. "Yuan Shao is lenient on the outside and taboo on the inside, and Dong Wuyang supports Zang Hong's rebellion, so he is naturally his enemy. If no punishment is imposed, how can he vent his anger internally and exert military power externally?"

Xun You nodded in understanding. "The emperor also has such worries, so he wanted to persuade Yuan Shao to stop the army, but he couldn't find a suitable candidate for a while. Is Gongtai interested in taking it?"

Chen Gong stopped in his tracks, his expression stunned.

Xun You turned around slowly, looked at Chen Gong motionlessly, with a faint smile on his face.

After a while, Chen Gong looked away and let out a breath. "Since it is the emperor's will, the palace dare not obey."

Xun You patted Chen Gong's arm. "Gongtai, work hard, the emperor has very high expectations of you. This time, you are going to save not only Dongwuyang, but also the entire Kanto."

There was a self-deprecating wry smile in Chen Gong's eyes.

He was desperate, so he traveled thousands of miles to the northern border.As a result, the emperor appointed him as an envoy and sent him to persuade Yuan Shao to stop his troops and save Dongwuyang from fire and water.

He didn't think this was what the emperor meant—the emperor was too young to see through his schemes, nor would he have such insidious methods—this must be Xun You's suggestion.

That being the case, there is no point in explaining.

"When are you leaving?"

"Saving people is like putting out water and fire. Naturally, the sooner the better." Xun You said, "Clean up, and the emperor will summon you right away."

"Here." Chen Gong bowed, turned and left.

Xun You sighed secretly.He kind of understood why the emperor wanted to do this.

-

Liu Xie summoned Chen Gong.

Chen Gong came very quickly, dressed neatly, as if he was about to go on a long journey.

After talking about the scene and asking Chen Gong about the situation in the world, Liu Xie worshiped Chen Gong as the censor, and went to the Kanto with integrity to persuade Yuan Shao and Zang Hong to stop their troops and conscript Zang Hong into the court.

Chen Gong received the seal, ribbon, edict and other things, and immediately boarded the car and set off without any intention of stopping.

When Gao Shun and Zhang Liao received the news, they rushed to Meiji and planned to ask Chen Gong for the time, only to find out that Chen Gong had left Meiji.

In desperation, they had no choice but to bite the bullet and come to see Liu Xie.

Liu Xie asked them about their recent situation.

Gao Shun and Zhang Liao camped within a hundred miles of Meiji.Except for appeasing the place, most of the time is spent training soldiers.After being promoted to general number, their number of troops has increased to 2000, most of whom are recruits and urgently need high-intensity training.

Liu Xie specifically asked Li Pharmacist under Zhang Liao's command.

Li Yaoshi claimed to be a descendant of Li Ling, but he was born in northern Xinjiang. Apart from being fluent in Chinese, he was no different from the Huns, so he was still treated as a Huns.

Li Yaoshi became the captain because of his meritorious service, and commanded two Huns cavalry.

Because he is proficient in medicine, he also served as a military doctor in the past.After Hua Tuo came, General Liu Xie gathered Chinese physicians together to conduct medical training focusing on surgery to strengthen the ability of battlefield rescue.

Liu Xie discussed with Zhang Liao and wanted to transfer Li Yaoshi to the Imperial Medical Office to cooperate with Hua Tuo.

Zhang Liao said he would go back and ask Li Yaoshi for his opinion.Li Yaoshi wholeheartedly wants to establish himself with military merits and prove the glory of his ancestors, so he may not be interested in practicing medicine.

Liu Xie felt a little regretful, but he didn't force it. He just asked Zhang Liao to convey his thoughts.

Zhang Liao and Gao Shun then came to see Lü Bu.

Lu Bu, who had been imprisoned in the dungeon for three days, was overjoyed to see his right-hand man. "Wenyuan, Ziping, you guys are here. Have you met the emperor?"

"I have seen."

"Have you seen Chen Gongtai?" Lu Bu blinked desperately with his back to Mrs. Wei and Lu Xiaohuan.

Zhang Liao was silent, Gao Shun said flatly: "Before we came, Chen Gong was already worshiped by the emperor as a censor, and he took the festival to appease the Guandong."

Lu Bu's face changed drastically, and he blurted out. "This guy, how dare you sell me for glory."

Huddled in a corner, the haggard Mrs. Wei could not see Lu Bu's face, but she listened to them all the time, looking forward to the news that the emperor would pardon them.Hearing Lu Bu's words, he immediately reacted, jumped up, threw himself on Lu Bu's back, and opened his mouth to bite Lu Bu's neck.

"You heartless man—"

Caught off guard, Lu Bu yelled "Aw", subconsciously exerting force on his shoulders and back.

Mrs. Wei was thrown out and hit the dungeon wall heavily. She immediately rolled her eyes and passed out.

Chapter 367 A Family of Three

Lu Bu panicked, and while treating Mrs. Wei, he scolded Chen Gong for being insidious, and used the lives of his family of three as bargaining chips in exchange for his own future.

Although Lu Bu was unclear, Gao Shun and Zhang Liao knew only a little, but they also knew that Lu Bu was being used by Chen Gong again.

To them, this is no surprise.

From the very beginning, Chen Gong used Lv Bu and never really loyal to Lv Bu.

It's just that Lu Bu didn't want to admit it.

When Mrs. Wei woke up, like an angry tigress, she grabbed Lu Bu and tore and bit him, making Lu Bu very embarrassed. Not only were his clothes torn to pieces, but he also had several new wounds on his face.

Lu Xiaohuan was also dumbfounded.She didn't know how to face this situation, let alone how to deal with it, sobbing as she huddled in a corner.

Gao Shun and Zhang Liao didn't dare to persuade them, they retreated tacitly to a distance, and sighed for each other.

When Mrs. Wei got tired of making a fuss, she hugged Lu Xiaohuan and sobbed, and Lu Bu also came to her senses.

Chen Gong has already left, no one will help him clean up this mess, he can only figure out a way by himself.

But after thinking about it, it seems that there is no good way except to kill him.

Resisting the imperial edict is a capital crime, even if Gao Shun and Zhang Liao were willing to intercede for him, they would still be saved from death in the end, and the official title would definitely be lost.

He was the one who dug the imperial tomb. The emperor let him go before because of the situation and had to accept it.Now that there is such a good opportunity, why don't you take the opportunity to retaliate?

The more Lu Bu thought about it, the more he regretted it. He hated Chen Gong to the bone, but he was helpless.

Chen Gong has already left.No matter how accurate his arrows were, they could not hit Chen Gong.No matter how fast the Chituma ran, it couldn't catch up with Chen Gong.

"Ziping, Wenyuan, what can we do?"

"Apologize to the emperor." Gao Shun expressionless. "The son of heaven is wise and will not be fooled by Chen Gong's tricks."

Zhang Liao nodded in agreement and added another sentence. "The Son of Heaven takes Bingliang as his foundation, and regards Guandong as his enemy. He will never kill the princes and pursue the ambitions of the people of Guandong. After this incident, the princes and princes should also be vigilant and stop trusting people's words."

"None of these Kanto scholars are good." Lu Bu gritted his teeth. "If I believe them again, I might as well kill myself."

"Also, it is true that the Lord resisted the edict. Even if the Son of Heaven does not kill you, I am afraid that there will be punishment. I hope that the Lord can endure it for a while."

"It should, it should." Lu Bu nodded repeatedly.

Gao Shun and Zhang Liao confessed some more things, bid farewell to Lu Bu's family, and reported to Liu Xie.

After hearing this, Liu Xie almost couldn't control his expression.

This is shooting himself in the foot. Lu Bu was hurt so badly by Chen Gong this time, and he probably will never trust Chen Gong again, not even any scholar.

Without a trustworthy counselor, he is just a brave man after all, and can't accomplish great things.

Liu Xie ordered Gao Shun and Zhang Liao to return to their respective camps.

He will pardon Lu Bu, but he can't let him go now. He has to endure Lu Bu for a few more days, so that he can reflect on himself.

Gao Shun and Zhang Liao understood, and left.

Liu Xie then ordered people to strengthen the guards in the dungeon, and reduced the food supply, keeping Lu Bu in a semi-starved state.Neither cut off his hope nor let him see it.

Lu Bu felt ashamed, and couldn't bear to see his wife and daughter go hungry, so he could only save his limited food, let his wife and daughter eat first, and eat some leftovers for himself.If not, just starve.

In just two days, Lu Bu collapsed.Repeatedly begged Huben's servant, who was guarding him, to see the emperor.

-

In the middle of the night, after dealing with government affairs, Liu Xie took a break and came to the dungeon.

Lu Bu, who was dizzy from starvation, was overjoyed to see the emperor appearing, and fell to his knees in the dungeon.

"Civil Minister Bu, I pay my respects to Your Majesty."

Mrs. Wei and Lu Xiaohuan also knelt down, but they dared not speak.

After being imprisoned for a few days, they also realized that the Son of Heaven is not only an honorable man, he holds the power of life and death in his hands.Even if he is as brave as Lu Bu, he cannot face the emperor head-on.

Liu Xie didn't say a word, just waved his hand, turned and left.

Huben's servant put down the ladder and let Lu Bu and others come out.

After Lu Bu washed up, he changed into clean clothes and came to the emperor's tent to sign up.

Liu Xie sat behind the case, with a hill of official documents in front of him.He quietly watched the three members of Lu Bu's family kneel and kowtow, unable to get up.

"Marquis Wen, do you realize your mistake?"

Hearing the word "Marquis Wen", Lu Bu breathed a sigh of relief, at least his title was preserved.

"I know I was wrong." Lu Bu bowed again. "I was bewitched by others and offended the majesty of the emperor. The crime is unforgivable, and there is more than one punishment for death. It's just that the minister's wife and daughter are innocent..."

Before he finished speaking, Mrs. Wei tugged at his sleeve, kowtowed and said: "Your Majesty, my concubine's words are not disrespectful, and death is not a pity. Only my concubine's husband and daughter are brave, and they are worthy of use. Please have mercy on your majesty, and let this concubine die. If they die, they will pay for their crimes.”

Liu Xie spoke sarcastically. "If you die, Marquis Wen is not just a concubine, but a continuation."

"Since the concubine is dead, I can't control his affairs anymore. Let him go. I'm afraid that your majesty is the master. Don't let him bully my daughter. I would like to bless your majesty under the nine springs."

Liu Xie frowned.

This tiger girl, what are you talking about, so frightening?

"Do you mean that as long as you live, he won't want to take a concubine?"

Mrs. Wei hesitated for a moment, then nodded vigorously. "The concubine would rather die than obey the imperial edict."

Lu Bu hurriedly said, "Your Majesty, I don't want to take concubines anymore. I have a daughter, Xiaohuan, and my wish is enough..."

"Shut up." Madam Wei yelled in a low voice: "I can still give birth, you just don't want to sleep on other women's beds."

Lu Bu blushed, as if Mrs. Wei had ripped off his entire face.

Liu Xie's face was distorted, inexplicably anxious.

What kind of fairy family is this?

This is in front of the emperor, can you be more serious?

Is it tolerable, which is unbearable?What if I laughed out loud?

Cai Yan on the side lowered his head, but his shoulders twitched uncontrollably, and the pen in his hand drew a twisted line on the paper.

"Hmm!" Liu Xie coughed with anger.

"Lu Bu, I think you have made great achievements in the battle, so you will not die. Cut down three hundred households, remove the official title, and shut yourself up for a year to see the effect."

Liu Xie waved his sleeves, indicating that Lu Bu could go out.

Seeing that the Son of Heaven looked bad, Lu Bu didn't dare to say more, pulled Madam Wei and Lu Xiaohuan up, thanked him, and turned around to leave the account.

Walking to the door of the tent, Lu Xiaohuan suddenly realized, turned around, and looked at Liu Xie pitifully.

"Your Majesty, the minister...is the minister also dismissed?"

Liu Xie asked angrily, "You don't know if you are guilty or not?"
