Legend of Summoning of the Three Kingdoms

Besides, as long as it is beneficial to oneself, no matter whose will it is, follow it.

But who is this angel?

For no reason, Gongsun Xu suddenly became interested in that angel.

Chapter 159

When Gongsun Xu went back to the house, he changed into another kind of luggage, dressed up and came back to the yard.

At this time, a person dressed as an eunuch was already standing in the courtyard, and all the civil and military men under Gongsun Xu's command were already there.

The eunuch continued to say to Gongsun with a smile on his face: "But Young General Gongsun, the imperial edict is for this, and the young general is invited to accept the order."

At this moment, Gongsun Xu also saw a volume of Minghuang imperial decree held by the eunuch.

Gongsun Xu immediately knelt down and saluted: "My minister, Gongsun Xu, welcomes the imperial decree, long live, long live, long live, Your Majesty!"

After that, the civil and military people behind Gongsun Xu also shouted loudly: "Long live, long live, long live!"

The eunuch looked at the respectful appearance of Gongsun Xu and the others, opened the imperial decree in his hand with a smile on his face, and then read in a sharp voice,

"Gongsun Zan of Youzhou guarded the northern frontier for the imperial court. Hulu did not dare to go south. He made outstanding military exploits. He also defeated the Yellow Turban of Qingzhou with Bohai. Unfortunately, he died in the battle. I felt his bravery and loyalty. I named him General Anbei and Marquis of Yan. The Gongsun family continued, as the son of Gongsun Zan, loyal and brave for the country, followed his father to attack the Hulu in the north, and conquered the Yellow Turban in the south. He was specially named General Xiaoqi and Marquis of Linyu. I hope that I can be loyal to the great man. I respect you!"

After the imperial decree was read, Gongsun Xu was horrified. He thought that Liu Yu would seek a military position for himself at most this time, but he didn't expect that he even won a title for himself.

I am only 19 years old now, which is enough to be regarded as young and promising, and it is the kind of young and rich.

Even Gongsun Zan posthumously awarded the title of General Anbei. Although it was only a posthumous title, it was enough to reflect the importance he attached to Gongsun Xu revealed in this edict.

In the Han military system, the generals are the highest, and the following are the generals of the hussars, the generals of the chariots, the generals of the guards, the generals of the front, rear, left, and right sides.Then there are generals of Sizheng, Sizhen, Si'an, and Siping, and then generals with miscellaneous names, just like Gongsun Xu's Xiaoqi General, and other generals such as Gongsun Zan's Fenwu General, Lu Bu's Fenwu General, etc. , the last and lowest general is General Zhonglang.

You know, even Cao Cao's initial wish was to be the general of the Han Dynasty.Of course, in the end Cao Cao overfulfilled his wish.

Generals in the Han Dynasty were not permanent, and even Huangfusong, Zhu Jun, and Lu Zhi, who were in charge of commanding the country's soldiers and horses during the Yellow Turban Rebellion, were only officials of Zhonglang Generals at that time.

Although Gongsun Xu's mind was not so calm like a stormy sea, but there was a look of extreme joy on his face.

"The minister, Gongsun, continued to lead the decree to thank you, my emperor, long live, long live, long live, long live!"

The civil and military people behind Gongsun Xu also shouted loudly: "Long live my emperor!"

After Gongsun Xu respectfully received the imperial decree from the angel, the eunuch smiled and said to Gongsun: "Congratulations to General Gongsun, you are able to become a Marquis at such a young age, it is truly a hero!"

Gongsun continued: "My father-in-law is wrong."

Afterwards, Gongsun Xu immediately winked at Zhu Wu who was beside him, Zhu Wu immediately understood and came to entertain the eunuch, and then without the others noticing, a piece of gold fell into the eunuch's sleeve among.

The eunuch felt that something heavy had fallen into his sleeve, and he knew what it was after a little weighing. Immediately he started talking with Zhu Wu with a smile on his face, and the respectful appearance of Gongsun Xu and others made him very useful.

Ever since Dong Zhuo, the great demon king, took control of the government and the Son of Heaven, their status as eunuchs has been greatly reduced, and because of the lessons learned from the ten servants, the civil and military ministers have no good feelings towards them.

After coming out this time, the eunuch said he was very happy to see that Gongsun Xu respected him and others so much.

At this time, Gongsun Xu stepped forward and said to the eunuch: "Although this Gu'an city is simple, it has all internal organs. Please rest in this Gu'an city for a few more days. I can do my best as a landlord."

But the eunuch smiled and said: "Don't bother the general, the miscellaneous family will return to Chang'an after handing over the imperial decree to the general."

Gongsun Xu still smiled and said: "In the future, I hope that my father-in-law will speak more kind words for me in front of His Majesty, and I will thank you with a big gift in the future."

The eunuch thought of what Zhu Wu had fallen into his sleeve just now, and immediately smiled and said: "It should be so."

Then the eunuch changed his tone and asked the civil and military people behind Gongsun Xu: "I don't know if Liu Bei and Liu Xuande are here, but His Majesty has an imperial edict for him to accept."

After hearing the angel's words, Liu Bei among the crowd was stunned: "Me?"

After Liu Bei received the imperial decree, the eunuch was taken down to rest by someone arranged by Gongsun Xu, and the imperial decree received by Liu Bei was not too surprising, it was what Liu Yu had promised earlier, to find a prefect for Liu Bei.

Although Liu Bei did not get the official position of a prefect of a county this time, he was appointed Prime Minister of Pingyuan, which was a position comparable to that of a prefect of a county, but at this time Jizhou was completely under the control of Yuan Shao, and now the emperor appointed Liu Bei to go Pingyuan of Jizhou holds the post of Prime Minister Pingyuan. No one knows if there is any deep meaning in this.

When he knew that Liu Bei had been awarded the post of Prime Minister of Pingyuan, Gongsun Xu expressed his congratulations to Liu Bei.

Although Gongsun Xu valued the combat power of Guan Yu and Zhang Fei under Liu Bei's command, it is not that there are no figures under his command who can rival these two.Even if Guan Yu and Zhang Fei are well-known enemies in history, but where is the difference between Dian Wei, Luo Cheng, Zhao Yun and others under his command?

Although letting Liu Bei go may cause him a lot of losses, and it may also put some obstacles in his path to hegemony, but now Sui Wendi Yang Jian and Tang Taizong Li Shimin have been born, and according to the situation and this Judging from the personalities of the two, it is basically impossible for me to be friendly with these two famous emperors. They will only be enemies rather than friends, so what can I do if I have one more Liu Bei.

Moreover, the relationship between Liu Bei and himself is very good now, putting Liu Bei under Yuan Shao's hands might be able to hinder Yuan Shao's development, allowing him to have more time to accumulate strength.

Judging from the current situation, Yuan Shao should be the first strong opponent he encountered in the north. Although the others like Yang Jian, Hong Xiuquan and others are not inferior to Yuan Shao in theory, and far surpassed them, they are not as good as Yuan Shao With his identity, it is impossible to organize Yuan Shao's general forces to fight against Gongsun Xu.

Therefore, Gongsun Xu was very happy when he learned that Liu Bei was going to be Prime Minister of Pingyuan. Some stumbling blocks.

At that time, you can develop with peace of mind.

That night, Gongsun Xu summoned his advisers Zhu Wu, Ling Jing, Di Renjie and others to discuss whether there was any deep meaning in the emperor's reward for him.

Gongsun continued: "I don't know what you think of the content of this edict?"

Gongsun Xu saw that everyone was silent, and said: "This matter is related to the future development of my Gongsun army, and I hope you can speak freely."

At this time Zhu Wu said: "Then I don't know what the general thinks about this imperial decree?"

After Gongsun Xu was named General Xiaoqi, all the civilians and soldiers under Gongsun Xu's command called him a general. Gongsun Xu is quite satisfied with this situation, which means that the soldiers under his command are still quite satisfied with his identity. I agree, this is very beneficial to my next actions.

Hearing Zhu Wu's rhetorical question, Gongsun Xu smiled and said: "In my opinion, this conferment should be the emperor's win over me. According to the time, Dong Zhuo was already dead when the edict departed from Chang'an. , and the emperor is now in power, but the court is facing internal and external troubles. Although Lu Bu and the Bingzhou army are used by the court, the Xiliang army left after Dong Zhuo's death is a problem. And now the world is in chaos, and the princes from all over the country are rising together. If you want to regain power in your hands, you must strengthen your own strength and weaken the enemy's strength. The biggest threat to the emperor today is nothing more than Yuan Shao, Yuan Shu and others, and my Gongsun Army just had an enmity with Yuan Shao not long ago. The enemy's enemy They are friends, so for the Son of Heaven, he should want to win me over to fight against Yuan Shao."

Chapter 1: Back to You Beiping

After hearing Gongsun Xu's analysis, Zhu Wu said with a smile: "What the general said is exactly what the subordinates thought. Although Wang Yun and others said that they won Lv Bu and killed Dong Zhuo, it doesn't mean that the world has been pacified. .Although Wang Yun and the others are a bit stubborn and loyal, they still have the ability. Therefore, they need to win over some people to fight against the traitors in their eyes at this time."

Gongsun Xu said in surprise: "In Mr. Zhu's opinion, who will this Wang Yun win over?"

Zhu Wu said with a smile: "The general is one of them. It is estimated that Liu Boan met Wang Yun and others when he went to Chang'an for the memorial of the Lord's request for an official, so the conferment was so important. As for the other princes "

Speaking of this, Zhu Wu thought for a while and continued: "Cao Cao who has now occupied Yanzhou is probably one of them, and there are Ma Teng and Han Sui in Xiliang, and the princes surnamed Liu in this world, such as Liu Yu, Liu Biao, Liu Yan and others. There are also Tao Qian, Kong Rong and other princes loyal to the Han Dynasty."

After hearing Zhu Wu's words, Gongsun Xu couldn't help asking: "Then I don't know what to do next according to Mr. Xu's opinion?"

But Zhu Wu said with a smile: "My lord, why worry? Since this is the emperor's order, then the lord has to accept it, and our army and Yuan Shao have already had a deep blood feud, and there is no possibility of resolving it. Since the emperor regards Yuan Shao as For rebellion, wouldn't that be a blessing for us?"

Gongsun Xu was stunned when he heard the words, and then he suddenly realized: "It seems that Xu is thinking too much, but listening to the master's words, it is like the clouds clearing."

Then Gongsun Xu said to everyone present: "Now that the emperor's decree has arrived, I have also received the title of General Xiaoqi, and according to the previous agreement between me and Liu Bo'an, I plan to return to Youbeiping some day, what do you all think? "

At this time, Di Renjie said: "General, this Cui Juye is still stationed outside Gu'an City. Judging from the situation, it seems that he has no signs of retreating. If the general returns to Youbeiping at this time, I am afraid that Cui Juye will not be very serious. Be safe."

But Gongsun Xu said with a smile: "Huaiying is too worried, this Cui Juye will never dare to use weapons, otherwise he will hit Liu Bo'an in the face, if Cui Juye dares to attack Gu'an at this time, then Liu Bo'an will not let go no matter how good-tempered he is. This is Cui Juye. Moreover, Yuan Shao is at war with Yuan Shu. Finally, under Liu Boan’s mediation, he temporarily ceased fighting with our army. Although our army’s strength is greatly damaged now, if the backyard is on fire when Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu are fighting, what do you think? What will happen to Yuan Shao? Therefore, Yuan Shao dare not take this risk, and even if Cui Juye wants to attack Gu'an, he must be able to fight. From my point of view, Cui Juye will retreat soon."

Di Renjie heard the words but said again: "Then shall we take advantage of Yuan Shao's battle with Yuan Shu at this time and give Yuan Shao a blow in the back?"
