Chapter 152
Luoyang City is based on Mang Mountain in the north, Yique in the south, Luoshui River runs through it, Hulao Pass in the east, and Hangu Pass in the west. It is surrounded by mountains and there are many majestic passes. It presses Jianghuai in the east, Guanlong in the west, Youyan in the north, and Jingxiang in the south.

In mid-January of the second year of Zhongping, Zhu Jun's army had just arrived ten miles outside Luoyang City, when Sikong and Zhang Wen went out to meet him at the order of Emperor Ling. Under the leadership of Marquis Zou Jing of the Northern Army, they entered the camp outside the city.

Under the leadership of Zhang Wen, Zhu Jun, Liu Bei, Zhang Chao, Zhou Ang and others will first report to the General's Mansion, and after the report, everyone will disperse.

As soon as Liu Bei left the General's Mansion, Zhu Jun asked, "Is there a place for Xuande?"

Just as Liu Bei was about to speak, a Confucian scholar said loudly, "Does Lieutenant Liu Qi know any old people?"

Liu Bei was overjoyed to see Gu Yong when he heard the words, he turned to Zhu Jun and said, "Thank you Zhu Zhonglang for your inquiry, there is an old friend here, and the place I want to come and go has been decided."

Zhu Jun was slightly disappointed, and then said: "In that case, I'll go first!"

"Hello Zhu Zhonglang!"

Zhu Jun, as the top three generals in the fight against thieves, is still well-known now. Zhu Jun nodded slightly to Gu Yong's greetings, and if he wasn't Liu Bei's old friend, Zhu Jun wouldn't bother to talk to him.

Gu Yong was slightly taken aback, and then said: "This Zhu Gongwei is too proud! Sanping Wancheng is not ashamed!"

Looking at the enraged Gu Yong at this moment, Liu Bei suddenly remembered that he also commented on his boss when he first joined the company. Why should a correspondence student scold him for making a small mistake.

Liu Bei patted Gu Yong on the shoulder, and said: "Brother Yuan Tan, don't be angry, Zhu Zhonglang must be very tired from running around all the way! That's why he is like this, he is usually very amiable."

"is it?"

Gu Yong's eyes clearly seemed to be looking at a traitor. Seeing Liu Bei nod, Gu Yong said: "Bo Jie knew that Brother Xuande was out of the capital, so he came here to let me welcome Brother Xuande into the Cai Mansion."

The Cai family had a mansion when Cai Zhi was still a Wei Wei. Later, Cai Zhi and Cai Yong were framed and imprisoned. The Cai family mansion had been occupied by Wang Fu, the official of Zhongchang. After Wang Fu passed away, the Cai family mansion was sent by Wuyuan prefect Wang Zhi To Wang Fu's subordinate Zhao Zhong for political asylum.After the Yellow Turban Uprising, Shi Changshi became a seller and confiscated his property to redeem his life. Cai's mansion was returned to Cai Yong after several twists and turns.

Cai's mansion is a little near the Xicheng District, Gu Yong and Liu Bei came to the door of Cai's mansion, Gu Yong stepped forward and knocked on the door.

After a while, the door of the mansion opened wide, and Cai Gu came out in a deep robe and hat: "My brother is receiving distinguished guests in the mansion, so let Gu wait for him to come out to welcome him, and I hope Xuande will not blame you for being rude."

Liu Bei was shocked. He still had a little understanding of the etiquette of the Han Dynasty. After the guests handed over the name stickers, the host would shower and change clothes in advance and open the front door to greet the guests. The host was on the right side of the door and the guest was on the left.

The scent of soap on Cai Gu's body was still fresh and smellable. Thinking that he had just taken a bath not long ago, this was the treatment of a distinguished guest. Liu Bei hurriedly returned the gift: "Uncle Yangong is too cruel! You can't beat Zhuojun's boy, why dare you to be so generous to Uncle Yangong? "

Cai Gu said: "So, so, Xuande saved Yan'er and Jue'er so as not to make my brother die, he deserves this gift."

Liu Bei was extremely embarrassed: "Uncle Yangong is ashamed and prepared! My wife passed through Nanyang, and I failed to protect her so that she was killed. It's a mistake to prepare!"

Gu Yong said from the side: "Brother Xuande, the death of my aunt is all due to the cunning ears of the yellow scarf! What has it to do with Brother Xuande? If there is no Brother Xuande, the second sister would have been killed!"

"Exactly, Xuande doesn't need to blame himself, and enter the mansion quickly, I have prepared a banquet in the mansion, Xuande washes up first."

The three entered the mansion while exchanging greetings, and happened to meet Cai Yong coming with two thirty-odd Confucian scholars. One of the extremely refined and handsome Confucian scholars saw Liu Bei walking a few steps, looked up and down and praised: "You have a kind face, With long arms and big ears, and killing people all over his body, this must be Liu Xuande of Zhuo County who burned Mount Tai!"

"Exactly."

The distinguished guests who can be received by Cai Yong in person must be of high status, Liu Bei dare not be rude: "I don't know how to address you, sir?"

"Nanyang He Yong!"

"Nanyang He Boqiu."

"Xuande has also heard my name!"

"It's like thunder, don't dare or forget!"

He Yong: A native of Xiangxiang, Nanyang, styled Boqiu, seldom entered Taixue, Guo Tai, Guo Linzong, Jia Biao and Jia Weijie followed him, Taifu Chen Fan, Dou Wu and his kindness, fled anonymously in the disaster of the party, Yuan Shao heard about him Accepting it by name is for Yuan Shao to make friends with people all over the world.If Li Ying was the leader of the party members before the disaster of the party imprisonment, and Yuan Shao was the new leader of the party members after the party imprisonment was lifted, He Yong was the person who handed over power between them.

"Like thunder?" He Yong asked with great interest when he heard this new term: "Does anyone in Nanyang still remember me?"

Like thunder piercing ears: It first came from the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty. Diao Chan said to Lu Bu: "The name of a general is like thunder piercing ears. My concubine is willing to follow the general."

Liu Bei had never heard of He Yong's name in Nanyang, but fortunately, he had Zhang Ji who could act as a shield: "Nanyang official Zhang Bozu once mentioned Mr. He's name to Bei."

"Oh! Do doctors and clerks know my name? I thought it was that brat Xu Ziyuan talking too much?"

Xu Ziyuan, that's not Xu You, is also from Nanyang. He conspired with Jizhou Inspector Wang Fen to dethrone Emperor Ling, Yuan Shao's most effective strategist in the early days.

The younger Confucian scholar beside Cai Yong said: "Brother Boqiu, Ziyuan kindly made you famous, why do you arrange Ziyuan? People mistakenly think that you and Ziyuan are not on good terms."

"Brother Gongye, how did I say that I and Zi are far from getting along!"

Brother Gongye ignored He Yong's playing tricks, and said to Liu Bei alone: ​​"I am Zheng Tai Zheng Gongye of Henan Province. Xuande has a benevolent face. Only by practicing benevolence in the future can he redeem his past sins."

After Zheng Tai finished speaking, Fang said to Cai Yong: "Duke Bo Jie has a distinguished guest. Don't send them off. Tai can go on his own. What Tai said before, I hope Duke Bo Jie will think about it carefully. The general is still waiting for Duke Bo Jie's reply. "

"Then I won't send it off! Boqiu and Gongye go slowly, and Shuyan will send off the two sages on my behalf."

Cai Yong nodded, flicking his sleeves.

"Mr. Bo Jie, please stay."

The two bid farewell to Cai Yong, and before leaving, He Yong smiled and winked at Liu Bei, and said: "Xuande can calm foreign troubles, so he must also be able to calm internal troubles, right?"

Liu Bei wanted to nod subconsciously, but then abruptly stopped smiling.

Seeing that Liu Bei was so vigilant, He Yong left Cai's mansion with a smile on his face.

Cai Yong looked at Liu Bei with satisfaction, Lao Huai smiled and said: "After this battle, Xuande has matured a lot, even He Boqiu can't trick you! Hahaha!"

Seeing Liu Bei's confusion, Gu Yong explained: "The general He Jin conspired with the party members to take advantage of the victory to wipe out the power of the eunuchs in one fell swoop. Teacher, they have come here several times!"

Liu Bei heard that not only was he sweating profusely, although the Yellow Turban Rebellion weakened the power of eunuchs to the lowest level in history, Emperor Ling still called Zhang Rang's father, Zhao Zhong was his mother, and Xiao Huangmen Jian Shuo was in charge of the army.It doesn't matter if you nod your head, He Yong and Zheng Tai said casually that Liu Bei, Marquis of Luchengting, Zhuojun, hated the eunuch deeply, and wanted to lead the army to wipe out the evildoers on the side of the king.He will become a vanguard against eunuchs in a blink of an eye, and Liu Bei doesn't want to be missed by the ten permanent attendants.
