Yanzhou.

The dim sunlight fell above the foothills of the mountain, the lush trees swayed gently in the setting sun, and occasionally birds passed by people's vision. Several resting restaurants next to the road were heard intermittently.

"... It's really surprising to hear the news that Prime Minister Cao died of illness since he crossed the Yellow River. It's a pity. If it weren't for the Prime Minister's governance over the years, Yan and Yuzhou would still look like. God really won't let good people live for a hundred years. Then Liu Bei and Sun Quan are still in power. It's a bit difficult for us to go south to do business."

"Yes...but my brother is a little unfamiliar with the news. Now I have just come out of Chenliu and am going to Xuchang. I heard that Governor Gongsun is going to accept visits from envoys from various countries there. It has been many years. Such a grand occasion may not be met in a hundred years. Don't go to Runan, just change the route to Xudu with me."

"Accepting the envoy's visit... shouldn't it be the emperor?"

"...Who knows, but...I heard that the governor is going to be king..."

Birds fly south and cross the roof of the wine shop. This is a road from Chenliu toward Xudu, and from time to time, you will see several wine shops for passing pedestrians, caravans to rest and eat, and in the hotel. Once people gather, in addition to the occasional conflicts and troubles, most of them will gather together to exchange business opportunities from east to west, south and north, including things happening everywhere. In such an era, communication lags, and communication is basically spread through this method.

At this time, the person who spoke in the wine shop was a group of men who traded north and south who had just returned from the north. There was no scruple in their words. The big man who had just finished speaking picked up the wine, and the man carrying a sword on his waist put down the cupware. The wine stains splashed out. "The Han Dynasty was not allowed to be a king unless the surname Liu. The governor of the North had just accepted the Central Plains and brought up the kingship, which shows that he had great ambitions!"

"That brother should not be so angry." The big man bearded took a sip of wine and bowed in a very kind way: "What does it have to do with us or other people? As long as the world is in good weather and there is no war to abuse, the people can have a full meal and wear clothes, do you care if others are the king?"

"I don't like it, so I won't let you say it anymore?" The man slapped a Han sword on the table and stood up.

There was also a sound of slamming at the table next to him, and several men in fur coats stood up. Their faces were covered with calluses from the wind. They looked like they were coming to do business in the north, staring at the sword-clapping ranger with fierce eyes: "How can the governor of the north be unable to sit on the throne? Can he continue to sit down? Now the people who come to see each other around him are not the emperor. As for the emperor you are talking about, we have never heard of. However, last year, I had the honor to see Governor Gongsun from Shanggu County. He was so majestic. People from Gongsun Kang in Liaodong would chop and kill, and kill at any time. How about that emperor?!"

The Ranger was stunned by what he said, and suddenly clenched the hilt of the sword, showing fierceness: "With ulterior motives, is he not the one who is in chaos in the world?"

"This is nonsense! When the world is in chaos, Governor Gongsun is still a horse thief!" The men from the northern regions glared fiercely, pulled out their weapons and smashed them on the desk, "Can you surrender and tied them to others to apologize? You are not good or bad, you may be Liu Bei, Sun Quan's spy who stole the Central Plains, and all the brothers, tied him up and sent him to the government."

"I am a Shi, not a bad person..."

The roaring man waved his sword to block it, and the copper spoon popped up. Then, the wine cup, long chopsticks, paint bowls... The slammed at him. For a moment, several people rushed up, affecting some diners and causing even greater chaos. The wine shop went up to persuade the fight: "Don't come and beat them... Don't beat them... You guys... Ouch..." He was hit on his forehead by the wine pot that flew from somewhere, and squatted on the ground with his head in pain.

The chaos continues until dark.

After Cao Cao's death, rumors spread everywhere in the Central Plains. Some people even secretly formed cliques, or traveled between the great families of various aristocratic families for some supreme figures in the court. However, more than 200,000 troops from both east and west of the north and came to the north bank of the Yellow River. Their gradually became a thief. On the way back, Shi A, who had failed, heard the bad news of his master and even became a rebel. He was in a state of grief and anger, and he was inevitably in conflict with others.

The night breeze was slightly cool, and Shi A, who was pulled and fought by many people, walked in a mess on the country road, took a sip of wine, looked at the night sky, staring at Xingyue's eyes were wet, and her voice rolled in her throat with a choked voice: "...Master... What should disciples do..."

"...then Gongsun Zhi is about to be crowned king."

The night was lonely, and only the sound of insects among the grass was heard around him. He walked two steps, leaned back and fell on the side of the road, watching the stars and moon gradually became silent, and closed their eyes. The evening breeze whimpered, and the forest made a sound. The nearby villages could hear a few dog barking. Occasionally, there were families with lights waiting for their families to return. The war in the Central Plains was extinguished, and everyone was looking forward to the fact that the king would no longer break out after the incident.

In September, in the fifteenth year of Jian'an, 100,000 troops from the east road of the north land surrendered to Xu Huang, Yecheng, and set out to station in Dongjun. The army led by Lu Bu of the West Army took over Zhang Liao's Bingzhou Army, passed through Sili, and arrived at the former eastern capital Luoyang, and now entered the Sishui Pass. At the same time, Cheshi, Kucha, Yanqi, Wusun, Kangju... Several countries in the Silk North Road of the Western Regions, as well as the envoys of the Three Hans, Xiematai and Dognu Kingdoms gathered in Yanzhou, and then headed south to enter Xudu, Yuzhou.

Sishui Pass.

The black horse rushed out of the pass, and soon after, he was alone in the pleasant sunshine of early autumn, swaying his ponytail and eating the grass. His gray-haired figure stood in front of the pass with his hands behind his back, looking at all this.

The sun shines down, and the three words "Shuiguan" make him fall into memories of the past.

"Here... when the army gathered, my husband stood on the city tower over there. At a glance, the dark array extended to the end of the sky. The flags were lined up like colorful clouds. The lady didn't see that scene. The war drums shook the sky, and people shouted. At that time, Wenyuan and others were trembling..."

One person twitched the corner of his mouth: "Liao Ke hasn't..."

"... It's better for Gao Shun. If he doesn't stand there, he will really stop moving. This is why his husband doesn't let him be a cavalry general. This guy rushed in and might just rush into the enemy's army and wouldn't turn around."

Gao Shun reached out and touched his neck, twisted again: "…Shun will make a fuss."

In front, Yan covered his mouth and smiled, looking at his husband walking in front, "What about later?"

"Later?" Lu Bu stretched out a hand and pointed at the city gate in the distance and laughed: "Haha... Even if there are many rats in the coalition army, how could he be afraid of them? At that time, he called Wei Yue, Cheng Lian, Zhang Liao and Song Xian, who followed him to lead three thousand Bingzhou cavalry and came out from there to fight."

"There are many coalition soldiers, so my father rushed over?" Lu Lingqi sat on the turf with her knees in her arms and turned her head.

The tall figure waved his arms heroically: "What else? Dong Zhuo gave me a little military force and a Xiliang... I can't remember my name, and let the other party restrain himself as his father. If he didn't attack the battlefield and destroy the morale of the Kanto Alliance, how could he block the Kanto? But in this rush, he realized that the Kanto people were just a group of native chickens and tiles... Wang Kuang of Hanoi was the old fat man who came out of Hanoi last month to entertain you. A general under his command wanted to stop him as his father, so he gave him a chance to claim his surname... and he cut it with a halberd."

A group of old generals around laughed. They looked here and inevitably showed a look of memories in the tone of the joke.

"...... However, there are also people with great martial arts skills here. Guan Yu and Zhang Fei fought with their father for hundreds of rounds at this gate. Their martial arts are indeed beyond the reach of others, but there is a red rabbit horse under his seat. If you want to leave, how could they keep them? It was not until... the horse was shot in the butt by Governor Gongsun, and he was hit by a similar match..."

Zhang Liao sat not far away with his sword, looking at the old master Lu Bu who was joking from time to time in the sun, and found that the other party was really different. If he had the same temperament as before, he would not have said such a shameful thing like this, and would not have been together with them and joked so easily.

Birds flew past, and the sun shone on the white-blooded Lu Bu, and the reflection was elongated on the ground.

Soon, the Wen Hou, who once looked down on the world, whistled, and the black war horse raised its head and spread its hooves and ran over. He turned over and tied the reins to his wife and daughter. Everyone laughed: "Everyone, it's time to go to Xudu! Go and see the grand occasion of Governor Gongsun's title of king."

"yes!"
