"According to the imperial edict, it is announced that Liu Bei and Liu Xuande will immediately set off for the Hajj. There must be no mistake."

After reading out the imperial edict, Zuo Feng smiled and said to Liu Bei, "General Xuande, you still don't accept the edict?"

"Your Majesty, Liu Xuande, accept the order!" Liu Bei reacted and quickly knelt down to accept the order.

The moment he held the imperial edict in his hands, Liu Bei's heart was filled with ups and downs. After waiting for how long, he finally waited for the day to meet His Majesty. Liu Bei was filled with emotions.

After getting up, Liu Bei put away the imperial edict and solemnly handed it to Zhang Fei's hand.

"Third brother," Liu Bei solemnly said to Zhang Fei, "I will go to see Your Majesty right away. You will stay here and guard the camp."

After hastily explaining, Liu Bei turned around and left without any delay.

Zhang Fei held the imperial edict in his hand and looked at Liu Bei's leaving figure. Zhang Fei's heart became more and more confused. He knew that his eldest brother was leaving alone. If anything happened, he would say goodbye forever.

"Big...brother, wait a minute!" Zhang Fei couldn't help shouting.

Liu Bei stopped and looked back at Zhang Fei.

Zhang Fei took a few steps to catch up with Liu Bei, looked at Liu Bei, and then looked at Zuo Feng. Zhang Fei's mind changed, and he bowed his hand to Zuo Feng and asked, "My eldest brother was assassinated. If there is no one to protect him, he may be in danger again."

Qing, please angel to be accommodating for a moment, so that I can find one or two escorts to accompany you."

Zuo Feng thought for a moment, thinking that if Liu Bei was really assassinated on the way, it would be ugly if His Majesty blamed him for it. Thinking of this, Zuo Feng nodded and said to Zhang Fei, "Then General Lao, please hurry up.

There can be no delay."

Zhang Fei hurriedly cupped his fists and saluted, "Thank you for your accommodation."

After saying that, Zhang Fei took a step forward with the sword on his waist and ran away with a puff of smoke.

Liu Bei looked at Zhang Fei leaving with helplessness on his face. Liu Bei knew very well where there were assassins, and Zhang Fei wasted no time in doing anything.

Zhang Fei ran to the camp with a puff of smoke. He hurriedly called the messenger cavalry and said to the cavalry, "Quick! Enter the city, find Jian Yong, and tell him that it's time to do something!"

The messenger cavalry looked confused. He was about to ask Jian Yong where he was and how to find him. Zhang Fei took out a flag from his arms and stuffed it into the hands of the messenger cavalry without any explanation.

"When you enter the city gate, raise the flag high. You don't have to look for anyone. Someone will look for you."

The messenger cavalry held the flag in his hand with a confused look on his face. Before he could even look at it, Zhang Fei grabbed his collar and pushed him staggeringly.

The messenger cavalry did not dare to delay, so they quickly climbed onto their horses, waved their whips, and said, "Drive!" The messenger cavalry galloped away.

Outside the camp gate, Liu Bei and Zuo Feng were waiting for the so-called "guards". Before the guards could wait, they saw a horseman rushing out of the camp.

Liu Bei just thought he was a scout and went out on patrol, and didn't take it seriously.

After a long time, Liu Bei finally waited for Zhang Fei, who was belatedly arriving.

Zhang Fei randomly brought a few soldiers with him, and when he got close, he handed the soldiers to Liu Bei. Zhang Fei said, "Brother, with these three people as our guards, we should be able to go without any worries."

Liu Bei looked at the three ordinary guards who had nothing to do with being tall and strong. Liu Bei hesitated. At this time, even though Liu Bei knew that there were no assassins and no guards were needed, Liu Bei felt that there were just three guards and they were too shabby.

Already.

Before Liu Bei left, Zhang Fei took a deep look at Liu Bei, "Brother," Zhang Fei sighed and hesitated, "No matter what, I will ensure that you are safe!" When he said the last sentence, Zhang Fei looked serious and said.

Determined and decisive, with hidden murderous intent.

Liu Bei smiled and nodded to Zhang Fei, turned around and got on his horse. On the horse, Liu Bei waved goodbye to Zhang Fei, "Third brother, go back to the camp. You can come back as soon as you go."

Zhang Fei stood outside the camp gate, watching Liu Bei go away, and remained motionless for a long time.

Liu Bei, who had already left for Luoyang City, could not know that Zhang Fei said that he must be kept safe no matter what. This meant that if the situation became irreversible, Zhang Fei had already made up his mind, even if he led troops to surround Luoyang, even if

To destroy the Han court, even if it is against his mother, he will not hesitate.

Zhang Fei knew very well that Liu Bei entered the city alone this time, and his life or death was uncertain. However, although he was worried about Liu Bei's safety, Zhang Fei only sent three guards to Liu Bei. This was because Zhang Fei knew very well that if the imperial court wanted to kill him, how many guards would he bring?

The guards can't even enter the city.

Zhang Fei knew very well that the key to protecting Liu Bei was not in the city, but outside the city, whether he could swarm hundreds of thousands of people in the countryside outside the city in an instant, and whether he could surround Luoyang with the force of thunder.

Putting five elite soldiers in the city will have no effect if an accident occurs and all five of them will die. Outside the city, five elite soldiers can intimidate a village and a hundred people. Therefore, Zhang Fei wanted to save his troops and did not send any extra guards to the city.

Keep your troops where they are most critical.

Let's talk about Liu Bei and Zuo Feng. Liu Bei was summoned by the Ling Emperor. He was so excited that he wanted to fly to the city immediately. However, Zuo Feng was simply hateful. Zuo Feng couldn't stand the bumps and rode his horse leisurely and slowly.

Liu Bei couldn't help but remind Zuo Feng to hurry up. Zuo Feng in turn warned Liu Bei that Luoyang was different and he couldn't gallop or rush.

Liu Bei could only endure it.

By some mistake, Zuo Feng became a helper again.

Many arrangements in the city take time to activate. The slower Zuo Feng walks, the more prepared the city is.

Let's talk about another place. Before Liu Bei, the messenger cavalry sent by Zhang Fei entered the city early.

When the cavalry was ordered to enter the city, they followed the instructions and hung the flags in their hands on the barrels of their guns, swaggering as they passed by.

After the flag was hung up, the cavalryman took the time to look up at the flag and saw that the flag was tattooed with an unknown symbol of three long and two short horizontal lines. He didn't know what the meaning of the flag was.

After ordering the cavalry to enter the city, they stood at the city gate in a daze, not knowing where to go.

When the messenger cavalry enters the city, the duty of the messenger cavalry has been completed.

Just as the messenger cavalry was looking around in confusion, there was a man watching at the city gate. When he saw the flag, he hurried back to report to Jian Yong.

Soon, Jian Yong received news that the flag had appeared, and Jian Yong knew that Liu Bei was about to enter the city.

After many days of preparation, it finally came into use.

Jian Yongli sent people to inform the storytellers scattered throughout the city, asking everyone to act according to the plan.

Soon, the storytellers lurking in the city received the order.

At the mule and livestock market, a storyteller was half-way through talking and borrowed a bowl of water and was about to drink it. At this time, someone came up and whispered something in the storyteller's ear.

The storyteller looked at the visitor in surprise when he heard this, and then nodded towards the visitor with a serious expression.

When the visitor left in a hurry, the storyteller stopped drinking. He stood up and continued to tell a small section of the unfinished story. When the crowd gathered around, the storyteller suddenly stopped and bowed his head towards the surrounding people.

He handed over his hands and said apologetically, "Everyone, please forgive me for not being able to write today's book.

Someone heard that Liu Bei and Liu Xuande, who were asking for the yellow turban to capture Zhang Jiao, had arrived at the north gate.

I want to see how many noses and eyes Liu Bei has.

Sorry, we’ll talk about it tomorrow, tomorrow!”

The storyteller pushed through the crowd and ran northward in a hurry.

I heard that what Mr. Shu said was so true, the people said, "Go and see?"

"Let's go and take a look."

…

In another place, at Caishikou, there was another storyteller. This storyteller's acting skills were exaggerated. "Have you heard? Have you heard? Liu Bei is here!"

"It's at the north gate. Your Majesty has summoned Liu Bei. Liu Bei has come to Luoyang. Let's go and see him!"

The storyteller shouted and encouraged.

Good acting skills can deceive many people. Rough and exaggerated acting skills cannot deceive many people, but they can also deceive some people.

Some ordinary people who had nothing to do heard that Liu Bei was coming. They had nothing to do anyway and planned to go to the North Gate to have a look.

…

At another place, near the wine house, the storyteller said, "I heard that Liu Bei was coming. I was at the north gate, but I didn't know whether it was true or not."

…

In another place, at the well, "Liu Xuande, who is asking for the Yellow Turban, is here! Liu Bei, who has four noses and four eyes, is here. Who wants to see it?"

Beside the well were many women fetching water for washing and little children playing. When they heard that there was a man with four noses and four eyes, the children were excited.

"Mom, let's see if we hit it or not, let's go and see!" The little kids dragged their mother to watch Liu Xuande with four eyes.

The woman scolded the ignorant baby, "The clothes haven't been washed yet. You have to go alone."

Although the storyteller failed to deceive many adults, he deceived a large number of children.

Dolls are people too, and they can also build momentum.

…

Everywhere in the city, as the storytellers kept spreading the news, the news spread quickly in all directions like the wind. As a stream of people moved towards the north gate, gradually, the quantitative change produced a qualitative change. When the people in the city found that many people were heading towards the north gate.

When I went north, out of curiosity, many people followed me without knowing why, wanting to see what happened.

Subsequently, the flow of people grew like a snowball. The more people there are, the more people it attracts. The more people it attracts, the more people it attracts. The more people there are, the more people who don't know why are attracted to join it.

The flow of people is expanding rapidly.

——

At the same time that Jian Yong's plan was launched, Cao Cao and Yuan Shao's plans in the city were also completed.

Cao Cao summoned dozens of arresters with military symbols, secretly went to the sewage alley, and found a jealous gambler who had lost money in the gambling house. Cao Cao paid off the gambler's money and said that as long as he helped kill one person, there would be another

Five hundred gold gifts.
