Chapter 1139 Yuan Yao, the Father of The
Shu Zhao's words made everyone nod their heads. Everyone agreed in their hearts, but they couldn't say it out loud. Huang Yi didn't have such worries: "If he can really guarantee Ziping's safety, it wouldn't be a bad idea for us to offer our seal and join him!"
Although the rest of the people did not agree, they did not express their opposition clearly. At this time, Yuan Yao was also a little moved. Yuan Shu initially declared himself emperor despite his opposition, always feeling that he was the son of the Emperor of Heaven. As a result, he was surrounded by enemies as soon as he became emperor. It only took a few months. The armies of several princes were dispatched. The Zhong family that Yuan Shu thought was as stable as Mount Tai collapsed in less than a year. This made Yuan Yao completely lose confidence in his father's description of destiny. , which is why after escaping, Yuan Yao has been unwilling to ascend the throne and still rules everyone in the name of the prince.
Nowadays, no one has raised any objection to Shu Zhao's suggestion. From this, it can be seen that the ministers no longer have confidence in the Zhong family. It is just the cautiousness of ministers that makes them neither agree nor object. The intention of not objecting is already obvious. .
"Mr. Shu, who should we send to the Tang army to discuss surrender?" Yuan Yao asked tentatively;
Shu Zhao saw that Yuan Yao was already a little moved, and said with great joy: "If Your Highness is relieved, I am willing to go once. However, it is not enough for me alone. If we can send a consort or Mr. Yuan to go with us, we can even more secure the Tang Kingdom." Public trust.”
Everyone knows that both Huang Yi and Yuan Si are the people Yuan Yao trusts the most. If one of them goes with him, he will indeed be more trustworthy by the Tang army. Moreover, this is why Shu Zhao asked Yuan Yao to send someone to monitor him. A kind of rhetoric, which means that Yuan Yao can rest assured.
After all, Yuan Yao was not a fool, and he heard what Shu Zhao meant, so he said: "In this case, please trouble Mr. Shu and my brother-in-law to come together. If Tang Guogong agrees to guarantee our safety, Yuan Yao is willing to I just want to be able to live in Luoyang City. If Tang Guogong is still worried, he can send someone to send Yuan Yao to his uncle in Hebei!"
Shu Zhao and Huang Yi stepped forward and bowed: "Your Highness, don't worry, I will protect your Highness's safety even if I risk my life!"
"Then I'll leave it to you two!" Yuan Yao stood up and saluted the two of them, then turned and left the lobby.
"Farewell, Your Highness!" Everyone stood up quickly and bowed to his back.
Five days later, Shu Zhao and Huang Yi appeared at the gate of Wan County under the escort of a hundred imperial guards. Then they were escorted by a thousand cavalry to Shu County. They received news from Wan County that Zuo Chengzu and Kong Xin and the two were also stunned. He just followed the order and sent troops to strengthen the defense of the three cities. They didn't expect that in just half a month, the other party would actually send people to ask for surrender. Both of them were overjoyed when they heard the news. In this way, for the two of them, it was a great achievement effortlessly.
Two days later, Yuan Yaojun's envoy arrived at Shu County under the escort of cavalry. Zuo Chengzu personally received Shu Zhao and Huang Yi. After getting the two people's willingness to surrender, Zuo Chengzu immediately reported the news. Shi Wan was anxiously sent back to Luoyang via pigeon mail, waiting for Hou Huangfu Chaobo's decision.
…
In Luoyang City, Huangfu Chaobo was discussing with Xun You, Xu Shu and others about the arrangements for spring plowing in various places this year. Who knew that while they were discussing, Shi A rushed into the meeting hall with an excited face, holding a pigeon letter in his hand. , without even caring about the usual etiquette, he stammered towards Huangfu Chaobo: "My lord... my lord... the governor of Lujiang Zuo... sent... a message..."
Everyone present was shocked, thinking that there was some kind of fighting happening in Lujiang. Huangfu Chaobo even asked nervously: "What, what happened in Lujiang? Sun Ce's army or Liu Biaojiang invaded, or Yuan Yao's army sent troops ?”
"No," Shi A finally calmed down a little at this time: "It's not these, it's the jade seal. Yuan Yao is willing to offer the seal to surrender! Congratulations, lord!"
"ah……"
"What……"
Everyone was shocked. Huangfu Chaobo quickly reached out and took the pigeon letter from Shi A's hand.
After reading the content at a glance, he let out a long sigh: "Yuan Yao, who is saying hello..."
With that said, he handed the pigeon letter in his hand to Guo Jia beside him. Guo Jia quickly read the pigeon letter, and then handed it to Pang Tong and others next to him. After everyone read it, they all had a wry smile on their faces. looked at each other. Years ago, everyone was still discussing the matter of the Jade Seal. Unexpectedly, just after the New Year, the Jade Seal ran out on its own. Now the Jade Seal is a hot potato for any prince and should be avoided. It was too late, who knew that he couldn't hide even if he wanted to.
Shi A was very surprised by the reaction of everyone in the hall. It was obviously a good thing, but why didn't his lord and the adults show any joy on their faces?
Huangfu Chaobo could see Shi A's surprise, but he was no longer in the mood to explain it to him. He just waved his hand to Shi A and said, "General Shi, please step back first. I will consider this carefully before replying to Governor Zuo. And don’t mention this to anyone!”
Although Shi A was surprised, he bowed and bowed before exiting the hall.
Huangfu Chaobo signaled Dian Wei to put everyone on guard around the hall, and no one was allowed to approach without his order. After he made all arrangements, he smiled bitterly and said: "You guys tell me, how should this matter be handled? "
Xun You smiled and said: "My lord regards things that others cannot think of as snakes and scorpions. If Sun Bofu knew that my lord was like this, he would not know what to think..."
Everyone laughed after hearing this.
Huangfu Chaobo smiled bitterly and said, "The jade seal now is like a target on the archery training ground. Whoever possesses it will become the target of public criticism. If we get it quietly, it's fine. I'm afraid Yuan Yao and others will not let us get what we want."
"Yes, Shu Zhao's meaning is very clear. That is, he hopes that the lord can absolutely guarantee Yuan Yao's safety. In order to prevent the lord from regretting in the future, they will definitely publicize this matter. In this way, the lord can't do anything to Yuan Yao, otherwise he will lose the trust of the world." Guo Jia said in a deep voice;
"It's a pity that the jade seal came too early. If it was two years later, we would have occupied 30% or even more than half of the land in the world. If we get the jade seal again, we will definitely not be afraid of others..." Pang Tong sighed on the side;
"Yes, the current plan is to present the jade seal to Chang'an, but given the current situation of the little emperor, can he really keep the jade seal? I'm afraid it will be obtained by Guo and Li. I don't know whether it is a blessing or a disaster." Xu Shu looked regretful and shook his head as he spoke.
The four people around Huangfu Chaobo are all top military advisors during the Three Kingdoms period. Everyone knows that it is a disaster for the Tang army to have the jade seal. If they do not find a way to send it away but take it for themselves, then the Tang army will really become the target of public criticism. At that time, the Tang army will not be able to rest and recuperate, and it is estimated that there will be no peace for half a day. Huangfu Chaobo believes that the current Tang army is far from being as strong as Dong Zhuo, and the princes of the world are now more than several times stronger than the group at that time, so the Tang army is far from the time to challenge the whole world.
