Volume Six Three Kingdoms Warriors Chapter 1: Guo Jia

The summer of 199 AD.

It was the fourth year of Jian'an in the Eastern Han Dynasty, and the No. 11 year when the emperor Liu Xie ascended the throne.

When Dong Zhuo led troops from Xiliang to Beijing and abolished his elder brother Liu Bian, Liu Xie was only a boy less than ten years old.

After Dong Zhuo abolished the young emperor Liu Bian, he replaced Liu Xie, who was named "Chenliu King" at that time, as emperor.

It is said that the reason why Liu Xie was treated differently by Dong Zhuo was because during the mutiny that killed Zhang Rang and others, he and his elder brother Liu Bian met Dong Zhuo's troops when they were exiled in Beiman Mountain. , The performance is neither humble nor overbearing.

When young emperor Liu Bian saw Dong Zhuo's army approaching, he was so frightened that he wept and didn't dare to answer for a long time. His cowardly and incoherent image formed a sharp contrast, which made Dong Zhuo feel that he was a wise master.

The most unbelievable part of this rumor is why Dong Zhuo, since he intends to disrupt the government and hold power, would abolish a seemingly incompetent emperor and replace him with another talented child who seems wise and intelligent?

Could it be that Dong Zhuo is actually a great and loyal minister, who only wants to make a difference, and is ready to assist a truly wise emperor, vigorously change the decadent situation in the world, compose a good reputation for the monarch and his ministers, and leave his name in the history?

Presumably, the prefects and governors who joined the Kanto Anti-Dong Alliance would not agree with such a reason, and even denounced it as absurd.

If Dong Zhuo and Grand Master Dong were all loyal ministers, wouldn't the "princes" who opposed Dong Zhuo and led the Kwantung coalition forces all be traitors who would harm the country and the people?

Anyway, after "driving" Dong Zhuo and Grand Master Dong to Chang'an in Guanzhong, the "princes" who recruited soldiers and bought horses to grow wantonly within their own jurisdiction, and then began to attack each other would never agree with such a statement.

The young emperor Liu Xie, who moved westward with Grand Master Dong, has been living a life of a puppet, just like his elder brother, the young emperor Liu Bian.

Even though Situ Wangyun planned secretly, rose up to strike, and joined Lu Bu to kill Dong Zhuo, there was a very short happy time, but no one thought that Dong Zhuo's subordinates Li Que and Guo Si would make a comeback in the blink of an eye.

Under the suggestion of the poisonous scholar Jia Xu, Li Que and Guo Si summoned Xiliang soldiers who were feeling panic because of Dong Zhuo's death, counterattacked Chang'an, killed Wang Yun, drove away Lu Bu, and performed the same deed as Dong Taishi .

Fortunately, Liu Hong, the Ling Emperor of the Han Dynasty, had only two sons, Liu Bian and Liu Xie, and the young emperor Liu Bian had died under Dong Zhuo's hands before. Li Que, Guo Si and others could not abolish Liu Xie again, so they had to pinch their noses and call themselves Courtier.

Then Li Que and Guo Si turned against each other and started a big battle in Guanzhong. The emperor Liu Xie could only stay in the palace silently, living like a year.

Until the second year of Xingping (195 A.D.), when Li Jue and Guo Si launched an unknown number of times to attack each other, under the escort of Yang Feng, Han Xian and Dong Cheng, they left the small court in Luoyang for many years , was finally able to return to the capital that was burned down by a fire.

Cao Cao, who was the shepherd of Yanzhou at the time, sent troops to welcome Liu Xie under Xun Yu's advice, and soon led troops to Luoyang under the secret call of Dong Cheng. Because Luoyang had become dilapidated ruins, he proposed to move the capital to Xuchang.

Yang Feng, Han Siam was the leader of the Baibo army who rebelled against the remnants of the original Yellow Turban Army, Guo Tai and others, and Cao Cao was an officer who had participated in the strangling of the Yellow Turban Army.

After several trials and fights, the Baibo army led by Yang Feng, Han Xian and others naturally could not compete with the talented Cao Cao, so they had to leave Luoyang with their subordinates.

The young emperor Liu Xie sat on the wax again and became a puppet in the hands of Cao Cao.

After moving the capital to Xuchang, Cao Cao realized the predetermined goal of "holding the emperor to order the princes". Liu Xie is still just an emperor without real power and can only "guard the throne", and the so-called officials of the Han court are just "reserves".

Cao Cao was in power, he was promoted to Sikong, he rode and rode a military general, and conquered injustice in the name of the emperor. He captured Xuzhou, conquered Zhang Xiu, and wiped out Lu Bu, and his strength expanded rapidly.

Due to the event of moving the capital, the imperial court changed the Yuan again, known as "Jian'an", and at the same time caused Yuan Shao and Cao Cao, who were good brothers, to turn against each other.

Yuan Shao, who has seized the entire territory of Hebei, Jiqing and the four prefectures, and at the same time befriended the northern minorities, reached the peak of his power, and Cao Cao, who occupied the Central Plains and held the emperor in his hand, is about to start the final showdown.

In the Xuchang Imperial Palace, Liu Xie, who had grown from a child to a young man, had a gloomy gaze.

His figure has gradually grown, from a small child who is not as tall as Dong Zhuo's waist, to a seven feet tall, slightly thin adult.

His demeanor looked a little more melancholy than ordinary people, which was caused by years of unsatisfactory life.

In the dark palace, Liu Xie began to save himself.

**** **** ****

Guo Jia recovered from the copybook in front of him, stretched involuntarily, covered his mouth and yawned a little.

Three years have passed since the first year of Jian'an (196), when he took refuge in Cao Cao.

Under the dim light, Guo Jia's tall, but somewhat slender body, pale complexion, and red eyes all showed that the owner of this body was slightly weaker than ordinary adults and not strong physique.

Of course, this has something to do with his heavy intelligence processing work, but Guo Jia's unrestrained behavior, excessive drinking, and bad habit of taking "Five Stone Powder" are the biggest factors that lead to this situation.

"Wu Shi San" uses cinnabar, realgar, alum, Zeng Qing, and Ci Shi as medicines. Its medicinal properties are extremely hot and strong, but after taking it, it has the effect of brightening the spirit and strengthening the physical strength.

Guo Jia was young and frail. He once tried to take "Wu Shi Powder" for medical reasons, but he stopped using it for a while.

In the first year of Jian'an, Xi Zhicai, Cao Cao's highly valued counselor, died of illness. He wrote to Xun Yu asking him to recommend a counselor who could succeed Xi Zhicai.

So Xun Yu recommended Guo Jia.

Cao Cao summoned Guo Jia to discuss major issues in the world. After some discussions, Cao Cao privately said excitedly, "Guo Jia is the one who can help me achieve great success!"

After Guo Jia left the camp, he also said to the people beside him overjoyed, "This is my real master!"

From then on, Guo Jia became Cao Cao's military staff officer, the military division sacrificial wine, and made suggestions for Cao Cao's four-party campaign, serving loyally.

He was in charge of intelligence work for Cao Cao, but this was a laborious job that turned day and night upside down and exhausted both physical and mental energy.

For this reason, after feeling physically exhausted several times, Guo Jia resumed taking "Five Stone Powder" to maintain sufficient physical and mental strength.

Although he also knew that taking the "Five Stones Powder" uninterruptedly had some good effects, but the "Five Stones Powder" itself contained a certain degree of toxicity. His behavior was undoubtedly a slow suicide.

But Guo Jia has no complaints.

Although he is a disciple of the Guo family in Yingchuan, he is not a direct descendant, so he has been eager to learn since he was a child, and he has made good friends with Xun Yu and others from other big families in Yingchuan, so that one day he can show what he has learned and amaze the world.

And Cao Cao's trust in him made Guo Jia also feel enamored.

Guo Jia took a short nap, feeling that he had gradually regained some energy, so he took out a note from the desk in front of him.

He narrowed his eyes slightly longer than ordinary people, casually glanced at the content on the note, and was suddenly startled secretly.

"During the thirty days, there were several Taoist priests who entered the palace."

Gongwei generally refers to the residence of emperors, queens and concubines, but due to the secrecy of the heavenly family and the deep courtyard of the palace, there is generally little communication with the outside world.

Therefore, there are strange and weird places everywhere in this matter.

The so-called Taoist priest is a term that has only emerged in recent decades.

This is a group of people who claim to be originated from Huang Lao, but have different opinions. Since Zhang Daoling established the Five Dou Rice Sect in Qingcheng Mountain, it has gradually become apparent to the world.

Zhang Daoling was a person in the period of Emperor Shun of the Han Dynasty. He founded a sect in Heming Mountain, Shu County (now north of Dayi County, Chengdu City, Sichuan Province), and stipulated that every person who enters Taoism must give five buckets of rice, so he got this name, because it is also called "rice rice". "Witch", "Rice Thief", "Rice Road".

At the same time, Yu Ji, another well-known Taoist figure, claimed to have obtained [-] volumes of sacred books on the water of Quyang Spring in Langya Palace Chongyi Que. .

After the "Taiping Qingling Book" was published, it once caused a great sensation, and spread rapidly and widely to all parts of the world.

In the process of dissemination, "Taiping Qingling Book" was also referred to as "Taiping Jing".

Decades later, the three brothers from Julu, Zhang Jiao, established the "Taiping Dao" based on the "Taiping Jing". Expansion effect.

Finally, in the first year of Zhongping (184), an unprecedented riot broke out.

The believers of "Taiping Dao" wore yellow scarves on their heads and shouted the slogan "The sky is dead, the yellow sky should stand, the age is Jiazi, the world will be prosperous", which almost swept the Kyushu of the world, and caused an extremely heavy blow to the rule of the Han Dynasty.

Although the three Zhang Jiao brothers died one after another, the remaining troops in various places have always existed. Even Yang Feng, Han Xian and others who escorted the emperor Liu Xiedong back to Luoyang were all from the remaining troops of the Yellow Turban Army, the main generals of the Baibo Army.

Guo Jia has reason to suspect that during the process of returning to Luoyang in the east, Emperor Liu Xie secretly took the path of Taiping Road because of his secret contacts with Yang Feng, Han Xian and other former Yellow Turban Army generals. .

After all, although the Yellow Turban Army has perished, and the Taiping Road also suffered heavy losses, the rest of the Yellow Turban Army still exists. Under the leadership of Zhang Yan, the most famous "Black Mountain Army", even Yuan Shao is helpless.

You know, among the princes of the world at that time, Yuan Shao, who was sitting in the land of the four states in Hebei, had the most powerful power in his hands.

It can be seen from this that the Yellow Turban Army can be described as a centipede that is dead but not stiff.

Although the Son of Heaven is currently under Cao Cao's control, everyone in the court knows it very well.

This emperor, who has been a puppet in the hands of others since he ascended the throne, is constantly wandering around.

But he may not be willing to continue to be a pawn in Cao Cao's hands, obediently obeying orders.

Volume 2 Dynasty Warriors Chapter [-]: Wang Yue

Wang Yue's expression was laziness, and he was pinned cross-body on his waist. He was famous all over the world, and the famous sword "Longyuan" that once made countless thieves fearful.

The "Longyuan" sword is three feet six inches long, which coincides with the number of the sky, but Wang Yue has not figured it out for decades since his debut. He carefully forged this "Longyuan Sword" for himself. Sword master, why do you have to take this length?

He just needs to know that the long sword in his hand is sharp enough and sharp enough to cut down the enemy, and the one that kills the enemy is a good sword.

So even if it's just an ordinary twig that has just been broken off and still has crystal dew on it, as long as it can be used, it will far surpass the exquisite sword moves of ordinary swordsmen, and have the fierce lethality to kill people.

Isn't it more powerful than Longyuan, Zhanlu, Chixiao, Tai'a, Chengying... and other famous swords in other people's hands?

So when Wang Yue was over thirty, the famous sword "Longyuan" that he used to wield across Liaodong became a decoration on his waist.

A foot away from Wang Yue's back, the young Shi A held a long sword, with a solemn face, and followed Wang Yue firmly.

Shi A was born in Luoyang City, by chance, he worshiped under Wang Yue's sect, and learned swordsmanship from the world's most famous generation of swordsmen.

Later, with Wang Yue and the young emperor Liu Xie, he moved westward to Chang'an, and then returned to Luoyang, which was burned by Dong Zhuo.

Still behind Wang Yue, they came to the newly built palace in Xuchang together.

Unlike Wang Yue who walked as he pleased in the dimly lit, ghost-like palace, Shi A did not dare to neglect in the slightest.

A hero of Wang Yue's generation, and the swordsmanship teacher of Emperor Liu Xie, Shi A is only a disciple of Wang Yue's sect who has never been a teacher after all.

Even speaking, Emperor Liu Xie is also Wang Yue's disciple, and Shi A is nominally Liu Xie's senior brother.

But the identities of the two parties are truly worlds apart.

Although the Son of Heaven is a little downcast, he is still the co-lord of the whole world; although Shi A possesses unique skills, he is just a nobody.

With heavy steps, Shi Ah suddenly shook his head, and put this sad-sounding thought behind him.

Wang Yue in front of him suddenly stopped at this moment.

Shi A's heart trembled, and he saw that Wang Yue, who seemed to be unguarded just now, had quietly opened his slightly narrowed eyes, bursting with divine light, and suddenly burst out an astonishing momentum from his body, rushing into the darkness.

In the dark place of the palace, which was full of light and shadows, where many secrets were hidden, a sigh of surprise came out, and there was a teasing voice as if meeting an old acquaintance, "Tsk, it turned out to be you, Wang Yue."

"Speaking of which, when did you become the eagle dog of the emperor of the Liu family?"

Wang Yue was startled when he heard the words, with a thoughtful look on his face, and after a while, his momentum fell back, and he returned to the previous lazy look.

Then he didn't even look at the person who was hiding in the dark, so he just walked away and turned to another direction.

Shi A followed behind Wang Yue without saying a word.

There was a furious and low voice yelling in the dark, as well as slandering Wang Yue. Hearing what the man said was rude, Shi A raised his eyebrows lightly, and his feet became a little procrastinated. When he was about to give the opponent a sword, but Wang Yue grabbed the shoulder.

In the dark and unclear night, Shi A suddenly felt a dazzling sword light flashing across his eyes, and only then did he know that Master Wang Yue had slashed a sword silently into the darkness without knowing when.

The sword energy passed by, making an astonishing "chi chi" sound, carrying a terrifying power that could cut through the void, and fell into the dark.

But the person hiding in the dark, since he was an acquaintance of Wang Yue, obviously knew Wang Yue very well, and had already laid down his defenses.

There was a soft "boom".

As soon as the opponent's body-protecting true energy and Wang Yue's sword energy were handed over, something unexpected happened to the opponent.

The sword qi that was unparalleled in sharpness, striking straight at the opponent suddenly exploded, as if turning into a ball of colorful fireworks.

Although the person in the dark has profound skills, he is a well-known master in the Jianghu. He was caught off guard and wanted to control the situation, but he was already incapable.

The fireworks flickered in the void, although they were not very dazzling, they were enough to completely expose the appearance of the person who came.

I saw that this person was a middle-aged man wearing a Taoist robe, with a medium build, a simple appearance, and three long beards under his jaw.

At this moment, a look of shame turned into anger appeared on his face, and a faint murderous intent flashed in his eyes, staring at Wang Yue's figure.

Wang Yue's footsteps paused slightly, and he sighed softly, "It really is you, General Zhang Bao."

After he finished speaking, he ignored Zhang Bao and turned around to leave.

Shi A's heart was filled with violent waves, and he followed behind Wang Yue with a restless expression.

The sword energy disappeared, and Zhang Bao's body disappeared into the dark again, and he groaned in great dissatisfaction in the darkness.

In any case, Shi A never imagined that the leader of "Taiping Dao", the younger brother of Zhang Jiao, the general of Tiangong, Zhang Bao, the general of Digong, is still alive and well in this world, and he is still in the palace?

What kind of secret is hidden in it?

Shi A felt his scalp go numb, and hurriedly cut off his thoughts, followed Wang Yue's pace, and quickly fled the scene.

Half a day later, the master and apprentice inspected the palace before preparing to leave and return to the place where they started.

When he turned around, Wang Yue saw Shi A's face hesitant to speak, and couldn't help sighing softly, warning, "Master won't tell you anything."

"The more you know about this kind of thing, the deeper you will sink in. In the end, even if you want to break away wholeheartedly, you won't be able to do it."

Shi A was startled, controlled his voice, and asked in a low voice, "Even Master, you old man, can't you get away?"

He thought of the past ten years, Wang Yue seemed to have stayed by the emperor's side all the time, although he had an ambiguous and perfunctory attitude, teaching the emperor the sword skills, but it seemed that he had no plans to leave.
