Three Kingdoms

Dinghai Day, referred to as d-day...

Ahem, I'm off the stage.

Do it again.

On the day of Ding Hai, Ding Ren turns into wood and sits on a noble person. On the day of Ding Hai, he sits on the official seal. He is an official, free from impurities, and focuses on literary talents. It is suitable for opening a market, trading, collecting money, moving, setting up a bed, consecrating lights, praying for blessings, breaking ground...

Avoid funerals, marriages, bathing...

Is it an auspicious day?

It was considered a relatively good day, but neither the emperor nor the accompanying officials necessarily thought it was a good day in their hearts.

Although the ceremonial guard is still so exciting, colorful, regular and gorgeous, it can be seen that behind the serious expressions of the accompanying ministers and the escorting Yulin Tigers, there is actually no hidden joy. Mood.

Especially Tutor Yuan Wei, when he passed in front of Fei Qian, although Fei Qian only secretly glanced at his carriage and horse as he passed by the ceremonial guard, almost everyone stared at him with his stern face. The protruding eyes all show the anger and helplessness in his heart.

Fei Qian started waiting outside the west gate at a quarter past nine o'clock in the morning, and waited until three quarters past three o'clock in the morning before Lu Bo, the guide for the emperor's journey, came out from the west gate, and then the entire team marched, including the accompanying hundreds of officials, as well as the subsequent family members and luggage, etc. , when it was all over, the sun was already above the zenith.

No one wants to leave the land they are familiar with. I wonder if this is the nature of the Chinese people...

Fei Qian was quite shocked when he saw the emperor's full set of traveling honors for the first time. Not to mention the shining armors of the Yulin Guards and the Tiger Ben Guards who led the team, nor the so-called flags that represented various meanings. There are all kinds of axes, axes, hooks and forks showing majesty and strength, just say the emperor's chariot...

This solid-color six-horse cart has a hood that is nearly one meter high. It is mainly golden yellow and may even be covered with gold foil. It is very dazzling. White jade is also used as decoration on it, so this cart is also called For the jade chariot.

There are three layers of engraved gold cloud panels around it. The curtains are made of silk and satin, embroidered with gold dragon-shaped patterns. The four pillars of the vehicle are painted with golden cloud dragons. There are bead curtains hanging from the door, three on each side. There are red railings around the emperor's throne, which are also decorated with gold colors. Even the axles under the carriage are decorated with golden carvings, and even the shafts are decorated with dragon heads and tails. It is graceful, luxurious and prosperous...

And according to etiquette, Prime Minister Dong Zhuo stood on the right side of the chariot, and Wang Yun, the imperial servant, acted as the driver. However, Emperor Liu Xie was too small, and he was inconspicuous sitting on the emperor's throne in the chariot, so Dong Zhuo basically stole the limelight. Otherwise, this posture really shows the majesty and splendor of the Han Dynasty royal family.

The emperor and the accompanying three ministers and nine ministers and other officials worth more than 2,000 stones gradually went away, and the hundreds of officials and crowds who paid tribute gradually dispersed. Everyone was almost silent, not having witnessed a grand ceremony with their own eyes. Some people were so excited that they basically lowered their heads and walked back silently.

The head of the family, Fei Min, leaned over from the side and whispered: "Has Ziyuan set a departure date?"

"I'll leave today." Fei Qian replied. The emperor has left, and Master Cai Yong and his senior sister have also gone with them. There is no need to worry about their safety. After all, they are the first batch and they are following the emperor, so I don't have many reasons to stay in Luoyang. It is better to leave early.

"...It's no use staying here. It's better to leave early." Fei Qian said, seeming to be talking about himself and giving some advice to Fei Min.

Feimin nodded and said: "I have also set off recently. There are many things at home, so I won't send my nephew off. If you need anything after arriving in Bingzhou, you can let me know in writing."

Fei Qian cupped his hand like Feimin to express his gratitude.

Arriving under the west gate of Luoyang, Fei Qian looked up and saw that the sun was slightly to the west and was shining directly on the city tower, which was a bit dazzling...

Almost at the same moment, far outside the Jujube Alliance camp, there were also people looking up...

"Brother, what are you looking at?" Zhang Fei stood beside Liu Bei and looked up at the sky like Liu Bei, but he saw nothing except a few white clouds.

"Looking at the sky." Liu Bei murmured.

"...Sky?" Zhang Fei's eyes widened. He looked from left to right, then from right to left, but there was still nothing except a few white clouds.

Guan Yu came over and said, "Brother, the troops are ready."

"Okay," Liu Bei withdrew his gaze, looked at Guan Yu, then at Zhang Fei, and said with a gentle smile, "Let me talk to the soldiers for a few words, and then let's set off."

Liu Bei smiled on his face, but he was worried in his heart. He originally thought that this time would be the same as the last Yellow Turban Rebellion, just to gain seniority, but he did not expect that when he finally arrived at Jujube, nothing happened.

Oh, that’s wrong, although there was no real fight, there were basically verbal fights...

Within a few days, these princes would have a banquet in the big tent. After eating and drinking, they would quarrel. After the quarrel, they would leave, and then they would do it again a few days later...

Although he claims to be a descendant of King Jing of Zhongshan, it is of no use at all. After all, he is just a Gaotang County Magistrate. His generals are no more than Guan Yu and Zhang Fei, and his soldiers are no more than 800. How can he compare?

The world is so big that it seems like there is no place for Liu Bei to live?

A few days ago, I received news that Gaotang County was broken into by thieves...

Originally, it was already a serious crime for him to mobilize the county soldiers to bring jujube without any transfer documents. Now, because Gaotang's defenses were weak and the city was breached by thieves, it was even more of an unforgivable crime.

Gaotang, there is no going back.

The jujubes can’t stay any longer.

Originally, Kong Min of Yuzhou and Han Fu of Jizhou provided some grain and grass, and Yuan Shu of Runan also sent grain and grass several times, but now it is obvious that the number of times and the amount are getting smaller and smaller.

And the food and grass I brought have been eaten up long ago. They all shamelessly asked for a few stones from here and a few bags from the west. Even the food and grass allocated now are from Qiao Mao, the prefect of Dongjun. Seeing that I once learned from Lu Zhi, Lu Zhonglang's face was evened out...

Liu Bei stood in front of the small military formation. After being silent for a while, he said loudly: "There is one thing I should tell everyone. Gaotang County has been invaded by thieves! We can't go back!"

Suddenly there was a commotion in the military formation.

"If any of you want to go back, you can do so! I, Liu Bei, Liu Xuande, Queen Jing of Zhongshan, hereby swear an oath that I will never be embarrassed!

"When I set out from Gaotang, I told everyone that I would take you here to make contributions and to honor our ancestors!

"today!

“I’m telling you, what I said is still valid!

Liu Bei pointed his hand towards the north and said:

"My senior brother Gongsun Bogui has recently been appointed as General Fenwu and was granted the title of Marquis of Ji. I want to go and join him! It's the same sentence!

“As long as I have something to eat, no one will be hungry!

“With my clothes, everyone won’t get cold!

"Believe me, those who are willing to fight for a share of this world with both hands!

"Please come with me!"

After that, he didn't look at the soldiers anymore and took the lead to turn around and move forward. Guan Yu and Zhang Fei followed silently without saying a word.

After a while, more and more footsteps gradually sounded, and the group of people followed the figure of the person at the front, winding their way north...

On the day of Dinghai, one goes from prosperity to decline... one goes from Han Dynasty to Hu land... one goes from disappointment to hope...
