I am not in the position of Zen [Three Kingdoms]

"You are still too young to look at things on the surface. Take a closer look. The people on this street are full of energy and spirits, which shows that they believe that life will be better." Cao Cao pointed to the 17-year-old Xia Houyuan: "Dong Zhuo When they came to Beijing, the common people were all ashamed, and the good-looking little daughter-in-law would not dare to go out without a little dust on her face, which is completely different from now."

Xia Houyuan murmured: It makes sense, but who would keep staring at the little wife...

"Looking at the streets again, no one litters the filth, and the roads are neat and clean, which shows that the city is in good order and the chaos has long since passed."

Xia Houyuan followed Cao Cao's line of sight and asked, "Brother, what do you think are these two strange vertical lines in the middle of the road?"

"I think only carriages and horses take the middle road. It is expected that this is a separate lane to prevent the flow of people from blocking the carriage road."

"Cars and horses come and go frequently in the big city of Luoyang, but there is no excrement of cows and horses in the middle of the road, which shows that the cleaning is timely and the management is strict." Xia Houyuan scratched his head: "Brother, is this the reason?"

Cao Cao laughed and said, "Young children can be taught."

Xia Houyuan asked again: "Where are we going now, but to find out the news?"

Cao Cao thought for a while: "I will take the imperial edict and go to the West Garden to report, and meet the old people to inquire about it. You should familiarize yourself with the roads in the city. Most of the house I bought before was seized by that old thief Dong Zhuo. I can’t live here, so go there and wait for me after you’re done shopping.”

A year ago, Liu Xie's father, Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty, specially established the eighth school lieutenant of Xiyuan in order to distribute the military power of the general. He recruited about [-] strong men from all over the country and added them to the Imperial Guard.Each school lieutenant commanded about [-] imperial guards, among which the top military school lieutenant was served by a trusted eunuch and commanded eight school lieutenants.Generally speaking, Cao Cao's official position is equivalent to the battalion commander of the Central Guard Army, and it is a popular position that can only be obtained by those who are trusted by His Majesty, so the old father Cao Song hurriedly urged Cao Cao to return to Beijing to take up the post.

Although the number is small, the soldiers are young, strong and well-equipped.This army directly under the imperial power was directly handed over to Liu Xie after the death of Han Lingdi, not his elder brother Han Shaodi.It can only be said that Han Lingdi, a dizzy emperor, has a very strange thinking. Even if he loves his youngest son, he has to take into account the overall situation. He doesn't even hand over the military power of the imperial army to the next emperor. No wonder Emperor Han Shaodi was unstable when he came to the throne , Triggered a war between eunuchs and relatives.

Cao Cao rode straight to the West Garden.The West Garden is located in the west of Luoyang City, next to the Northern Palace of the Imperial Palace, which is where the emperor's residence is located.With the smooth progress of the recruitment, the emperor's imperial guards commanded by each of the eight captains of Xiyuan increased to 1000.Cao Cao, as a lieutenant of the Dian Army, counted the number of people after the report, and he couldn't help feeling a little bit emotional.If a year ago, there were 300 more people under his command, maybe he would jump for joy.But now that Chenliu has won [-] warriors, he just inspected the results of the drill calmly.

After Dong Zhuo entered Beijing, he killed the eunuch who was in command of the eight captains, and installed his own cronies.Now Dong Zhuo is executed,

The eight major lieutenants in Xiyuan were changed by the emperor, and eunuchs were no longer appointed as commanders. All the lieutenants were replaced by innocent children from Luoyang's poor family, and the commanders were also replaced by those who escorted Liu Xie out of the city during the Luoyang fire. The guard is gentle.

Although I don't know my colleagues anymore, fortunately, the subordinates I knew a year ago are still there.Cao Cao chatted with them while patrolling, and soon learned about what happened in Beijing.He kept echoing, praising the Son of Heaven for his sageness, but he was dubious in his heart: I was in Chenliu, and I thought that people spread rumors, but I didn't expect my subordinates to praise the Son of Heaven for his bravery, and said that he saw the Son of Heaven beheading evil spirits and Dong Zhuo with his own eyes. .If it wasn't for them being wrong or lying at the same time, wouldn't God bless the big man?He also sighed that his position was too low to see the emperor, so he couldn't find out.

But Xia Houyuan has recently married Mrs. Cao Cao's younger sister.The newlyweds are very affectionate.Now that my elder brother has not yet abandoned his official position, he is safe and sound, so An Xin took his entourage to familiarize himself with the roads in Luoyang City, thinking of his wife, thinking about buying some chai ring cream powder in this bustling capital city as a gift.On the way, I saw a spacious shop on the Royal Street in the center, and the signboard was called "Luoyang No. [-] Jewelry Store", so I thought: it must be the best to dare to call this name, otherwise the signboard would have been smashed by someone, so I opened the curtain and left happily go in.

In the center of the store was an elegant and luxurious red peony and gold step shaker, which was very exquisite and beautiful. Xia Houyuan took a fancy to it at a glance, so he boldly said: "Shopkeeper, what is the price of this step shaker, so I took it!"

After paying the bill, he casually put the shopkeeper's well-wrapped exquisite box into his arms, swaggered around, and almost bumped into a handsome young man.

"You young man, what are you doing standing behind me!" Xia Houyuan reprimanded, "If it knocks you down, it's no wonder your knees aren't broken."

Seeing the boy coming, the shopkeeper quickly jumped out from behind the counter, and was about to separate the two of them.But Liu Xie waved his hand at him, looked at Xia Houyuan with great interest, and said with a smile: "It's someone's fault, I was fascinated by the jewelry just now, and I didn't expect the strong man to turn around."

The so-called stretch out your hand and don't hit the smiling face, and the young man is good-looking, so Xia Houyuan couldn't say anything, so he said, "Be careful in the future."

Liu Xie smiled and chatted with him, and the hidden guards behind him shook their heads secretly, the emperor loves to go out of the palace, and he especially likes to chat up young people with extraordinary appearance.I just hope that this matter will not be seen through by others, otherwise it is really a safety concern.

Xia Houyuan saw that he looked like a weak young man with no strength to restrain a chicken, so he was a little lazy to pay attention, and left after a few perfunctory words.

Liu Xie's heart moved, and he made a gesture behind his back with his hand.A hidden guard went out with Xia Houyuan, and after a while he came back with a bruised nose and a swollen face, and replied to Liu Xie: "Master, that young man has extraordinary skills and is invincible. He was defeated in thirty strokes."

The dark guard is very skilled. Since he can defeat him at such a young age, he must be an extraordinary person. Liu Xie asked: "Have we exchanged names?" .

"Reporting to my master, the other party's name is Xiahouyuan, and he is from Qiaozhou, Yuzhou."

"Xiahou?" Liu Xie was a little surprised. It turned out that he was Cao Cao's capable general, who was good at running for thousands of miles and transporting food and grass.Since Xia Houyuan is here, Cao Cao is not far away.

"The master wants to recruit this young master? Somebody has found out where they are temporarily staying."

Liu Xie shook his head: "No need." Xiahou's family has a strong relationship with Cao Cao, and he was not so relieved to use the other party.In any case, it is a good thing for Cao Cao to return to the capital.For Cao Cao and Liu Bei, the talents of the princes who grow in power without paying attention, it is better to keep them under the nose.

He came to the gold store this time to inspect the market for gold-plated jewelry, to see if there was any market that made full use of gold-plated means.If this technology is used properly, it can be mass-produced in the future.

The physics teacher once said that grapes, lemons and other fruits contain a lot of electrolytes. If metal pieces such as copper and iron are inserted into them, a weak positive charge can be generated to generate an electric current.A few days ago, using these theories to try again and again, Liu Xie fiddled with a weak current. He originally wanted to make a small electric fan, but unfortunately failed.

Anyway, the electric current has been produced, so don't be sorry, I tried to plate some silver and copper jewelry in the palace with a thin layer of gold, so that the hairpin rings are golden and bright, and the color retention is long-lasting.

It is not pure gold, but the price is naturally lower than gold, and it is lighter and looks luxurious, so it should be sought after.Liu Xie took it to the jewelry store opened by Commoner Wei to sell it to fill his private treasury. The Bu Yao that Xia Houyuan bought with a lot of money just now is a gold-plated test product.

The news of Cao Cao's return did not cause much controversy, after all, he was just a school lieutenant.What's more, in order to check and balance, the Forbidden Army cannot communicate with the four armies of the Ministry of War. Unless someone preaches, Lu Bu, who is in the Ministry of War, would not be able to know.The imperial army is commanded in the name of the emperor, and they emphasize loyalty rather than bravery.When Dong Zhuo was there, half of the imperial army in Liu Xie's hands was embezzled.Now, after recovering military power and constantly replenishing troops, there are 5000 imperial troops in total, including the Wei Army, Huben Army, Yulin Army, and Weiwei of the Eighth School of Xiyuan, which belong to Liu Xie alone.

However, the Huben Army, Yulin Army, and Wei Wei are rarely dispatched, especially Wei Wei is responsible for guarding Miyagi, and generally will not be transferred from Miyagi to fight.The main function of the Huben Army and Yulin Army is to protect His Majesty and the capital, and they hardly leave the city.Liu Xie is not afraid of restoring Cao Cao's position. Can he still instigate the soldiers of the Eighth Colonel of Xiyuan?What can Cao Cao give that he can't?

At the same time, Xi Zhicai has arrived in Beiping, Jizhou.He ordered his subordinates to pretend to be Yuan Shao's men, bought several beautiful large boxes containing gifts, and ordered them to come to Liu Yu's mansion with great fanfare, and then went to see Gongsun Zan himself.

Liu Yu was appointed Shepherd of Youzhou by Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty, and Gongsun Zan was only the prefect of Beiping.Logically speaking, Liu Yu should be in charge of Youzhou, but it is a pity that Gongsun Zan has firmly grasped the military power, especially the elite frontier cavalry in Youzhou are all led by Gongsun Zan himself, so now Liu Yu is under control.

Gongsun Zan never restrained his subordinates. Instead, he indulged his troops like Dong Zhuo and plundered the people many times, which made Liu Yu, who is kind and loving, very dissatisfied.In order to deceive Han Fu's Jizhou, Yuan Shao secretly joined forces with Gongsun Zan to attack.Naturally, Liu Yu was extremely opposed to it, and attacking the prefectures and counties without edicts was an act of rebellion, which was inconsistent with his philosophy as a Confucian scholar.

After Dong Zhuo's death, the emperor issued an edict to Gongsun Zan, ordering him to attack Yuan. Gongsun Zan took the gold, silver and jewels sent by Yuan Shao's men, and delayed sending troops, which made Liu Yu very angry and yelled at him several times.After many conflicts, the two are in the same situation.

When Xi Zhicai saw Gongsun Zan, he immediately sighed and said, "Gongsun Zan is in danger!"

Gongsun Zan was arrogant and conceited, and he got angry when he heard it: "I came to see you because my subordinates said you are a celebrity from Yingchuan. Who would have thought that you would startle me when I met you? What do you mean?"

"Please listen to me." Xi Zhicai said without hesitation: "Yuan Shao took advantage of the public to seize Han Fu's Jizhou, and was punished by the emperor. In order to escape punishment, he wanted to follow Liu Yu, the shepherd of Youzhou, as emperor. We found Liu Yu's support and took the opportunity to send troops to occupy Youzhou. You have a bad relationship with Youzhou Mu and Yuan Shao. Once they join forces, wouldn't you be in danger?"

Gongsun Zan was surprised and angry: "Yuan Shao is so bold that he wants to abolish the establishment on his own, can he do what the traitor Dong Zhuo did?"

"Someone came from Jizhou and met Jizhou's envoys on the way. If you don't believe me, you might as well go and find out if they have arrived at Youzhou Mu's mansion."
