Chapter Five
"The Emperor's blood edict..." Han Song muttered with a solemn expression.
The butler withdrew, and everyone couldn't help but look at Ji Shu. Han Song was even more surprised, wondering if this Cao Cao was also Wang Yun's plan. Otherwise, how could Cao Cao bring out the emperor's blood edict from the capital? How could this young man not predict the situation?
Han Song licked his dry lips, hesitated for a moment, and then asked: "Is this really an edict from the emperor?"
Ji Shu glanced at Han Song strangely and thought to himself, why are these celebrities so stubborn? After thinking about it, he said: "If you think it is fake, then it is fake. If you hope it is true, then of course it is."
real."
"Haha, what Wang Yun said in the letter is right, you are a wonderful person."
Han Song was not angry when he saw that he could not find out the truth. He ordered the housekeeper to take Ji Shu and others down to rest, and he hurriedly packed up and went out.
One month later, Chen Liu.
Xia Houyuan strode in: "Mengde, good news, now seventeen princes have expressed their orders to punish the thieves and led their troops to Luoyang."
Cao Cao put on some clothes and came out. He smiled and said: "If they don't cherish such a good opportunity, they will be kicked in the head by a donkey. Come and tell me in detail."
Cao Cao and Xia Houyuan sat down, and the servants served tea.
Xia Houyuan took a sip of tea and continued: "In the first town, the post general and Nanyang prefect Yuan Shu; in the second town, Han Fu, the governor of Jizhou; in the third town, Kong Wei, the governor of Yuzhou; in the fourth town, Liu Dai, the governor of Yanzhou; in the fifth town,
In the sixth town, the prefect of Chenliu is Zhang Miao; in the seventh town, the prefect of Dongjun is Qiao Mao; in the eighth town, the prefect of Shanyang is Yuan Yi; in the ninth town, the prime minister of Jibei is Bao Xin; in the tenth town, the prefect of Jibei is Bao Xin;
In the 11th town, the prefect of Guangling was Zhang Chao; in the 12th town, the governor of Xuzhou was Tao Qian; in the 13th town, the prefect of Xiliang was Ma Teng; in the 14th town, the prefect of Peking was Gongsun Zan; in the 15th town, the prefect of Beiping was Gongsun Zan;
In the town, Zhang Yang, the prefect of Shangdang; in the 16th town, the Marquis of Wucheng and Sun Jian, the prefect of Changsha; in the 17th town, the Marquis of Qixiang and Yuan Shao, the prefect of Bohai."
Cao Cao said: "Liu Biao of Jingzhou and Liu Zhang of Bashu did not respond?"
Xia Houyuan was stunned and said with a smile: "No. But there is no need to care. Including our town, there are eighteen princes. Each prince can range from ten thousand to two to thirty thousand. I'm afraid there will be
There are 300,000 horses, but Dong Zhuo is nothing."
Cao Cao also smiled: "Most of the princes in the world were summoned, but the clan members of the Han Dynasty were indifferent, and the strength of this great man was exhausted. Well, after this battle, the general situation of the world will change drastically. The emperor will no longer have any prestige, and the Han Dynasty will no longer have any prestige.
The family clan has also become a joke among the princes."
"When the time comes, whose troops and horses will we compete with? Miaocai, you must hurry up and train your troops and horses. After this battle is over, there will definitely be continuous battles. That is when we will become famous."
Xia Houyuan cupped his fists and said, "I will live up to my trust!"
Jiangxia City.
Because of a blood edict, the world is undercurrents, but Jiangxia is still as peaceful as before.
Huang An was very uncomfortable taking Ji Shu and others on a tour during this period. But as soon as he came back from the trip today, he was called to the study. Huang An hated this room. He still remembered that when he was young, he was here, sitting with his father.
reading on his knees, and now, only cold family interests are being discussed here.
He didn't know if this could be called growth.
"Dad, you called me?"
"Humph, I asked you to go on a blind date in Xinye. The marriage didn't work out, but you did marry several brothers." The old man shook his beard, which made Huang An shrink back, "That's all, I don't care about you making friends. But now you have
I have something for you to do."
"Whatever it is, leave it to me and I'll make sure it's done properly!" Seeing that the old man no longer mentioned the matter, Huang An quickly patted his chest and took over.
"Hmph! Listen, in the past month, my father has spent some money, recruited 1,000 strong men for training, and also prepared some equipment, food and fodder. Sun Jian, the Marquis of Wucheng, is about to lead his troops north to attack Dong Zhuo. You will bring them tomorrow
These people defected to Sun Jian and went north together."
Huang An was stunned and said: "Dad, just recruit people from our tenant farmers! We have only been training for a month! I know Sun Jian, the Marquis of Wucheng, who is the Tiger of Jiangdong and has many elite soldiers and generals, can take this seriously.
mob?"
"Besides, our Huang family is under the rule of Liu Jingzhou. You may do this so blatantly to make Liu Jingzhou feel resentful."
When the old man heard this, his face was gloomy and he sighed: "Do you think dad is willing? The 500 iron guards who support our family must not be moved, and there are only 3,000 tenant farmers left. This is cutting my flesh."
"It's a pity that Liu Biao is stupid and useless. He doesn't listen to loyal advice and only insists on maintaining his status and enjoying his peace. Now the world has become chaotic and the princes are divided. Originally they were afraid of each other, but they could still restrain each other. But when the emperor's blood edict came out, the war broke out.
Together, the princes will surely fight for hegemony in the future."
"The emperor's blood edict, the princes are diligent in their efforts. It's ridiculous that Liu Biao, as a clan member of the Han Dynasty, actually stood still. All the heroes and celebrities in the world must have defected to those princes. How can we, the Huang family, a century-old family, bet on Liu Biao?"
"Sun Jian was brave and good at fighting. He defeated the large with the small and the strong with the weak. He swept across Jiangdong and became the master of Jiangdong. I think Jingzhou will be swallowed up by this tiger sooner or later. It would be a good idea to invest some money now and get a certificate of investment."
"As for the rest, you don't have to worry. What Sun Jian lacks the most in these campaigns is food and grass. Our Huang family is providing help in times of need, how could he not want it? Besides, is there anyone in the world who thinks there are too many soldiers? Even if he only uses elite soldiers, then
We also need auxiliary troops to build roads and bridges and transport grain and grass."
"As for Liu Biao, haha, the whole Jingzhou is supported by our five great families, he has the guts to touch me? And you think it's just our Huang family who does this? The Cai family in Xiangyang, the Zhuge family in Nanyang, and the Jing family in Jiangling, they are stupid
?Liu Biao can only open one eye or close one!"
"This matter is of great importance to our Huang family, do you understand?"
Huang An nodded slightly and said in a low voice: "I understand, kid."
······
"Huang An, are you going north with Sun Jian's army?" Qingshan asked in surprise.
Huang An said calmly: "Yes, aristocratic families are as helpless as aristocratic families. My younger brother is leaving tomorrow. Before leaving, I came here to say goodbye to my brothers."
"I will go with you."
Qingyu suddenly spoke.
"No!" Qingshan and Ji Shu were surprised and shouted in unison.
"No, I must go!" Qingyu looked at Ji Shu with determination in her eyes.
Nominally, Qingyu and Ji Shu are master and servant, and their status is very different. Logically speaking, there should not be such an argument, but privately, Qingyu treats Ji Shu more like a younger brother, and many of his words will be discussed with Ji Shu and Qingshan.
Discuss together.
Qingyu is worried about Wang Yun. This is human nature. Ji Shu understands, but he must not let her return to the whirlpool of the capital!
"Miss, you are not allowed to go."
This is the only thing I will never give in to.
Ji Shu said in a stern tone: "First of all, the master had expected that the capital would become a place of right and wrong, so he asked the young lady to stay away from the capital. The master has worked hard to keep you safe, so that he can worry about the affairs of the government! If you go back,
Isn’t it a hindrance to the master?”
"Secondly, the war is about to begin. If something happens to you on the way, how can Qingshan and I go to see the master?"
"Thirdly, in the military, a woman has many inconveniences. By saying this, aren't you putting Huang An in trouble?"
Qingyu wanted to speak, but was speechless. When it came to speaking, how could she be Ji Shu's opponent?
Ji Shu saw her biting her teeth and hesitated to speak, not knowing what she was thinking.
This girl wants to be strong and must do what she decides! I'm afraid if I stop her now, she will find an opportunity to return to Beijing secretly.
Ji Shu gritted his teeth, secretly made up his mind, and said: "You stay in Jiangxia and don't go anywhere. Qingshan and I will go. If we can really defeat Dong Zhuo and invade Luoyang, Qingshan and I will rush to Situ Mansion as soon as possible to protect the master.
week."
"In this way, the master's hard work has not been in vain. It will not make Huang An embarrassed. With Qingshan and I going back together, what else do you have to worry about, young lady?"
Seeing Ji Shu secretly give him a wink, Huang An took a step forward knowingly and said: "Haha, we have Brother Ziyuan with us, I welcome you!"
Qingyu looked at Ji Shu blankly for a long time, nodded and said: "I understand, Ziyuan, I'll leave it to you and Qingshan!"
"Don't worry, miss"
