Chapter 708: Stop Dreaming
Farther south, the banner of the Son of Heaven was flying in the wind, and the Emperor's chariot was hurrying north, surrounded by a motley army. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ο½iqugeγ ο½ο½fo
On the chariot, Liu Xie looked at the vast land in front of him, his face was full of excitement, and his heart was indescribably happy.
Since being "welcomed" by the potters in Xudu, many years have passed, although the brocade clothes and jade food, food and clothing are worry-free, Liu Xie has lived a very suffocating life.
Because he still has a trace of unwillingness in his heart, unwilling to become a puppet of the potter, at a certain time in the future, under the coercion of the potter, he was forced to give the emperor's throne and the Han Jiangshan Sheji to the potter.
And he, Liu Xie, will also be nailed to the pillar of shame in history as the king of the Han Dynasty.
"This time, I want to escape from the clutches of the pottery thief, I don't want to be a puppet again, I want dignity, I want freedom......"
Liu Xie secretly gritted his teeth and swore secretly, as if he had seen freedom and saw the bright prospect of his trapped dragon out of the abyss and seeing the light of day again.
"Your Majesty, can we really escape from the clutches of that pottery thief this time, can that Chen Sheng be relied on?" The queen Fu Shou next to her had the word "worry" written on her pretty face.
Liu Xie's mind retracted at this time, his eyes passed through the rolling dust and mist, and he looked at the man who was riding a tall horse and was full of ambition not far away.
It was the man with the name of the old man who miraculously led a group of unarmed Tuntian people to rescue himself from the minions of the potters.
"After all, it's just a grass people, and I entrust the country and society to him, and I don't know what he can't bear......"
Liu Xie's thoughts were flying, and his heart gradually became worried, so he lifted the curtain and said in a low voice: "Quickly send Yang Qing and Du Qing to see me." β
The Yang Qing and Du Qing in his mouth are named Yang Xiu and Du Xian.
These two are the famous people of the Yingchuan area, after the potters seized the Central Plains, these two people were unwilling to work for the potters, and they all returned to their hometowns.
They thought that princes from the family such as Cao Cao and Yuan Shao would return to the Central Plains sooner or later, and that was when they would come out.
No one expected that the potters would be incredibly powerful, and they didn't need the assistance of these celebrities of the world, and with a group of people pretending to be ancients, the princes of the world were defeated and died under the iron hooves of the potters.
Gradually, they began to realize that the potter's seizure of the world might be unstoppable, and in order to gain a place in the new dynasty, it might be time to have to come out.
What made them crazy was that the potters not only didn't bother to recruit them at all, but even implemented the Shang Martingale Reform, openly wanting to destroy their powerful clans.
At that time, the powerful people of the Central Plains clan have suffered a heavy blow, almost deprived of all privileges, and have gradually entered a desperate situation of decline and decline.
This time, Chen Sheng rebelled and fled with the Son of Heaven, the momentum was quite huge, Yang Xiu and Du Xi and other remnants of the Central Plains clan seemed to see the dawn, and they did not hesitate to come out and come to defect.
"What does Your Majesty command?" Yang Xiu and Du Xi both stepped forward and bowed their hands to greet them.
Liu Xie lowered his voice and said, "Yang Qing, Du Qing, I just want to ask you, Yi'er and the others, that Chen Sheng is a person I can rely on." β
Yang Xiu glanced forward at Chen Sheng, and seeing that there were no ears and eyes left and right, Fang said in a low voice: "Your Majesty, this Chen Sheng is indeed good at inciting people's hearts, with the current situation, Your Majesty can only rely on him temporarily, but ......"
"But what?" Liu Xie asked.
"But this Chen Sheng is obviously not a good type, he is an ambitious person, His Majesty is kind to him, but also to take more precautions, so as not to become a second potter in the future." Yang Xiu lowered his voice.
Liu Xie was silent, pondering Yang Xiu's words, and a trace of jealousy flashed in his eyes.
After pondering for a moment, Liu Xie nodded slightly, and said gratefully: "Fortunately, Yang Qing reminded me, don't worry, I will be careful." β
At this time, Du Xi said again: "Your Majesty, there is still something to worry about. β
Liu Xie flicked his hand and motioned for him to speak clearly.
Du Xun pointed to the civilians on the left and right, and said worriedly: "We escaped from Xudu, we should have moved forward lightly and went straight to Yanjin, but we didn't want so many people to come to join us on the way, which certainly shows that the people in the world support Your Majesty is still in the majority, but so many people are on the road, but it also delays the pace of progress, and the minister is afraid that if he goes on so slowly, he will be caught up by the army of pottery thieves." β
Liu Xie's body was shocked, and he suddenly realized it, and his eyes suddenly showed a gloomy color, and he was busy sending someone to invite Chen Sheng to discuss.
After all, his name is the Son of Heaven, but the military power is still in Chen Sheng's hands, and any decision must be made by Chen Sheng's opinion.
After a while, Chen Sheng rode over and arched his hand slightly on the horse, "Your Majesty summoned the ministers to come, what do you have to say?" β
"That's the case, if Du Qing is a little worried, I want to talk to the general." Liu Xie coughed a few times, but he couldn't say it clearly, and threw the burden to Du Xi.
Du Xun was helpless, so he had to cough dryly, and said with a smile: "General, I don't mean anything else, I just feel that we are going with so many people, delaying the speed, if the Wei army pursues it, what should it be." β
"Does Lord Nadu mean that General Ben has abandoned these soldiers who have come to defect and abandon them?" Chen Sheng asked coldly.
Du Xian heard the displeasure in Chen Sheng's tone, and his heart trembled secretly, but he had to bite the bullet and say: "Of course, Xia Guan doesn't mean this, Xia Guan means that protecting His Majesty to cross the river as soon as possible is the top priority......
"Protecting Your Majesty is of course a top priority!"
Chen Sheng waved his hand, interrupted Du Xian's words, immediately held his sword, and said with a generous and righteous face: "It's just that so many scholars and people have come to defect, representing the hearts of the people in the world, if Your Majesty abandons them, wouldn't it be disregarding the people's hearts, but also chilling the hearts of those people with lofty ideals who have Han families in their hearts, which is more important, can Lord Du still not see clearly?" β
The words made Du Xian speechless, and he didn't know how to answer.
He didn't dare to refute anymore, because he had already seen Chen Sheng's hand clenching the hilt of the sword, and that murderous face, as if he might kill him at any time.
For a while, there was silence on the left and right, no one spoke, even Liu Xie froze there, his face showing a little embarrassment.
After Chen Sheng's power passed, his expression quickly softened again, and he smiled and said: "Your Majesty doesn't have to worry too much, the minister has received information, the army of the pottery thief is rushing from Yexian County to Xudu, and when his army quells the rebellion in Xudu, and then comes north to pursue us, we have already crossed the river from Yanjin, and the minister will definitely not let the pottery thief threaten the king." β
After listening to Chen Sheng's words, Liu Xie's heart was a little calm, and he didn't want to say anything more, so he had to smile: "I naturally trust the general very much, and since the general knows everything, then I have nothing to worry about." β
A look of satisfaction flashed in Chen Sheng's eyes at this time, and he bowed his hand and retreated.
Looking at Chen Sheng in the distance, Liu Xie secretly sighed.
"This Chen Sheng, seeing so many people coming to defect, he is proud, he is reluctant to drop so many dings, he is still a short-sighted person in the end......" Yang Xiu shook his head and sighed lightly, his eyes quietly surging with deep worry.
Hearing Yang Xiu's sigh, Liu Xie's figure shook slightly, but he smiled as if comforting himself: "Yang Qing's words are serious, the general has just said it, the pottery thief's soldiers and horses are on the way to Xudu, we should have enough time to rush to Yan......"
Before the word "Jin" could be exported, a few miles ahead, suddenly dust and mist covered the sky, and the rumbling sound of horses' hooves was like thunder on the horizon, from near to near, rapidly approaching.
Liu Xie's words stopped abruptly, his expression changed immediately, and he looked ahead in surprise and anxiety.
The ministers on the left and right, Du Xi, Yang Xiu and other ministers also looked shocked.
In the end, the astonishment turned into fear, and finally solidified into deep fear, as if they had seen ghosts.
"Wei Jun! It's the Wei army that has arrived! β
"It's over, it's King Wei's cavalry, everyone run."
"How could the Wei army run in front of us, didn't it mean that there weren't many Wei troops in Yanjin?"
"Don't worry about it so much, it's important to escapeβ"
Tens of thousands of "anti-thieves" mutinied, instantly frightened like ants that had blown up their nests, and scattered in all directions, rushing to seize the road.
Liu Xie was dumbfounded, looking at the Wei army's iron cavalry that came out of the dust and mist in front of him, rolling like a tide, and the whole person was frightened and despaired, and his whole body trembled.
"How can this be, didn't Chen Sheng say that the pottery thief is still in Ye County, why did he suddenly appear here, what should I do, what should I do, if the pottery thief catches me ......"
Liu Xie was so frightened that he was incoherent, and he had completely lost the prestige of the Son of Heaven, and when he saw the "Wei" character Wang Banner, and saw that it was the pottery merchant himself commanding this iron cavalry division, he was even more frightened and changed color.
"Your Majesty, you are the Son of Heaven, how can you be so flustered when you are in danger!" Fu Shou beside her scolded sharply, although her appearance was also full of surprise, but she was obviously much calmer than Liu Xie.
After being drunk by the queen like this, Liu Xiecai barely calmed down a little emotionally, his face showed a little shame, and he hurriedly shouted to Yang Xiu and the others on the side of the carriage: "Yang Qing, Du Qing, the pottery thief suddenly killed me, what should we do." β
Yang Xiu's face was as pale as paper, his eyes rolled a few times, and he hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, Chen Sheng's subordinates are all rabble, and they are by no means the opponents of the elite division of the pottery thief. β
At this time, Liu Xie had completely lost his mind, but Yang Xiu's words were obeyed, and he immediately ordered in a hoarse voice to order the car to drive to the west.
"Could it be that this pottery thief, he actually calculated that I was going to cross the river from Yanjin, so he led the light cavalry to arrive first and came to intercept me? Could it be that the great cause that I have been painstakingly brewing for so many years, how can I lose to him like this, I am not reconciled-"
Ahead, Chen Sheng looked at the rolling Wei army's iron cavalry, and the spirit of the past was completely gone, replaced by deep anger.
