Chapter 127: Where to go

This situation can be recalled, but it was already clear at the time. ------Tang Dynasty. Li Shangyin "Jin Se"

It is said that Dong Zhuo announced to the world that Empress Dowager He was the culprit who killed Empress Dowager Dong, let Liu Wei steal the throne, and wanted to abolish Liu Wei and set up a new monarch Liu Xie. Most of the hundred officials chose to keep their mouths shut, but Yuan Shao, Cao Cao and other people of insight chose to leave Luoyang, run the army in the local area, and divide one side in order to plan for the future.

The world is falling apart, and the situation of chaos is unstoppable. After Dong Zhuo killed He Miao, he brought the forbidden army of the imperial court under his command, which was even more incredible. Just when Dong Zhuo got carried away, suddenly Jia Xu hurried from Chang'an and said to Dong Zhuo: "Huang Gai, the commander of the First Army under Chen Long, led 10,000 troops, and suddenly appeared in the suburbs of Chang'an. There are no strong troops in Chang'an, there is no way to resist, and now the army of Huang Gai has entered the city. Why didn't General Dong quickly send troops in pursuit? ”

Dong Zhuo woke up from his dream, gritted his teeth and said: "No wonder Chen Long has no fear, he has already planned to kidnap the young emperor and He Hou and rob Chang'an." Now what? A few days ago, Chen Long had already taken Empress Dowager He and Liu Wei and disappeared. ”

Jia Xu struck with both palms and said: "It's broken, it must be to go to Chang'an to meet." Chang'an Jiancheng was eagerly unable to attack, and there were troops of Huangfu Song and Sun Jian outside, and they had always been loyal to Empress Dowager He. If they unite, Chang'an will no longer be ours. If Liu Bian's re-enthronement in Chang'an, it is difficult to guarantee that some ministers will be ready to move. ”

Dong Zhuo was a little dumbfounded and said, "Mr. Jia, what should I do now?" ”

Jia Xu said: "Fortunately, now we will strictly control Luoyang, and we have the state army and the forbidden army in hand, so Huaxiong and Gao Shun can immediately lead the state army of 10,000; Fan Chou and Zhang Ji led 10,000 Xiliang troops, rushed to Chang'an, took Chang'an with all their might, expelled Chen Long to Liangzhou, closed the door and beat the dogs. ”

Dong Zhuo knew that Chang'an was a big matter, so he immediately followed Jia Xu's strategy and ordered Huaxiong and Gao Shun to be the vanguard, Fan Chou and Zhang Ji to be the Chinese army, leading 20,000 troops and going straight to Chang'an.

Chen Long and his entourage, after three days and three nights in a small boat, finally arrived at the Fengling Ferry, and Gan Ning sent someone to inform Huang Gai and rented a carriage and horse. Chen Long invited Empress Dowager He and Liu Wei to enter the carriage, rode his own horse, and slowly marched towards Chang'an.

Chen Long was nervously thinking about how to deal with the chaotic situation in the world all the way. The top priority at the moment is how to spread the news that Emperor Shaodi of the Han Dynasty was coerced by Dong Zhuo and had no choice but to leave Chang'an, to see how many people are still loyal to the Lord, and in addition, resolutely refuse to recognize Dong Zhuo's new monarch and fight a big public opinion war. Besides, it is to deal with Dong Zhuo's Xiliang army that is about to attack Chang'an, but I don't know who Dong Zhuo will send?

All the way forward, Huang Gai had already hurried to greet him, and behind him was the military advisor Pan Jun and all the guards. After Huang Gai met the Empress Dowager He and the emperor, he said to Chen Long: "My lord, I took over the defense of Chang'an according to your deployment, and now under the mediation of Zhong Xuan, all the subordinate officials of Chang'an have been surrendered. Only Jia Xu, after leading the troops into the city, he couldn't find it, and he didn't know where he was hiding. ”

Chen Long thought to himself, how could Jia Xu, an old fox, be so easy for Huang Gai to find out. nodded and said: "There are Dong Zhuo's army in Chang'an, and there are Xiliang rebels outside, I'm afraid it will not be easy to defend." It is necessary to prepare more grain and grass and supplies to defend the city, contact the troops of Huangfu Song and Sun Jian, and play the banner of the Han Emperor to strive for foreign aid; Internally, the whole city was mobilized to resist Dong Zhuo's troops. ”

Huang Gai obeyed the order and went to arrange the city defense, and Chen Long led the special forces to protect the Empress Dowager He to the Weiyang Palace in Chang'an. Although the palace was not abandoned, it was not used for a long time, only the palace and eunuchs were left behind to clean, according to Chen Long's instructions, the magistrates of Chang'an quickly came to meet the Empress Dowager He and the emperor, and immediately began to arrange the palace, and then set up the imperial court.

Chen Long sent Empress Dowager He and Liu Wei into the palace, and said to Empress Dowager He: "Although we can escape death this time, Dong Zhuo will not give up, and we can only try our best to fight and wait for Zhao Yun's reinforcements." The slightest mistake can lead to death. Therefore, the queen mother and the emperor must set up another court meeting and set up another hundred officials to confront Dong Zhuo Xinjun's court. The edict was released to all places, and King Qin was asked to ask for Dong. If the momentum can be boosted, there is hope for returning to Luoyang in the future. ”

Empress Dowager He was panicked, although she was the queen mother, she suddenly encountered a big change, and she didn't know where she should go. He Jin and He Miao are dead, the eunuchs who are close to them on weekdays have all died, and the officials are also afraid of Dong Zhuo, the only thing she can rely on now is Chen Long's overnight love for her. Now it seems that Long Chen not only sacrificed his life to save his life, but also dispatched troops to help him with all his might, and Queen He finally felt a little at ease.

It's just that Empress Dowager He's love for Chen Long has never been extinguished because of the turmoil in the world and life and death. Along the way, Liu Wei was inseparable by the side of the Empress Dowager He, and the Empress Dowager He could not express her heart directly and was very depressed. Every time he looked at Long Chen with a pair of beautiful eyes, Long Chen always bowed his head to avoid it, and his attitude was also respectful, as if he had forgotten the beauty of that night. Empress Dowager He couldn't help but sigh in her heart, where should she go with her deep attachment and emotions to Wenlong?

Chen Long has only arrived in Chang'an for three days, and more than 10,000 Qinglong troops have been highly prepared for days, and the materials for defending the city have been piled up on the city. On the one hand, Chen Long sent people to Anding to contact the troops of Huangfu Song and Sun Jian, who were confronting Han Sui, hoping that they could resist the rebels in the west, and Chang'an in the province suffered from the enemy; On the other hand, Gan Ning was sent to Hanzhong with fifty special team members to help Zhao Yun take Yangping Pass as soon as possible, and ambush him along Shangluo Mountain to the eastern suburbs of Chang'an, so as to surprise Dong Zhuo's troops attacking Chang'an, and assassinate the Yangping Pass guards if necessary.

At the same time, Weiyang Palace Liu Wei re-ascended to the throne, Empress Dowager He was in power, reopened the court meeting, issued an edict to the world, and ordered all the important ministers in the court to attend the meeting and confront Liu Xie's court meeting. For a while, officials all over the world stood in line, some supported Liu Bian, and some supported Liu Xie, Liu Bian's court openly and secretly, and also received the allegiance of many people, such as Luoyang Cai Yong, Jizhou Cui Yan and other Confucians, all of whom were in Dong Ying's heart in Chang'an.

On this day, Chen Long was inspecting the city, and suddenly saw a horse riding outside the city, and immediately a person covered his face with a green scarf and shouted to open the door. Chen Long was overjoyed when he heard his voice, hurriedly ordered the door to be opened, and ran down the city tower by himself, went out of the city in person, and took the man off the saddle and said, "Gongda!" It's finally waiting for you. ”

Xun You smiled and pulled down the masked green scarf, and respectfully bowed his hand: "The lord is above, please accept the next bow." ”

Chen Long grabbed it and said, "Gongda!" You don't have to be polite, I've been looking forward to you for many days! Tell me, how did you get out? What is the situation in Luoyang? Did Jia Xu arrive in Luoyang? Who did Dong Zhuo send to capture Chang'an? ”

It turned out that Xun You was in Luoyang that day, and Ben Sai gave Chen Long a cloth strip and wanted to meet with Chen Long alone to discuss the elimination of Dong Zhuo. Unexpectedly, Chen Long broke out in a hurry, and after saving Empress Dowager He and Liu Wei, he fled directly from the tunnel without a trace.

Xun You was helpless, and discussed with the speaker Zheng Tai, He Hao, Shizhong Chongji, Yue Cavalry Captain Wu Qiong and others, and said: "Dong Zhuo has no way, and everyone in the world resents him. Although he has gathered a lot of elite soldiers, he is really just a brave man. We should assassinate him to thank the people, and then use the emperor's edict to command the world, which is a bully like the Duke of Qi Huan and the Duke of Wen of Jin. ”

Everyone made a plan and agreed on a date for the assassination of Dong Zhuo, but it was not thorough enough, and the matter was discovered before it was completed. He Hao was arrested and imprisoned, and committed suicide in prison. Cao Cao loves Xun You's talent, has been sheltering Xun You and trying his best to entrap him, Xun You gave Cao Cao the idea to assassinate Dong Zhuo when he went to offer the Seven Star Treasure Knife, but he also failed to succeed. When Cao Cao hurriedly escaped from Luoyang, he fled with him, although Xun Yu was moved by Cao Cao's care, but still remembered the virtue of Chen Long, and also remembered the agreement with Chen Long, on the grounds of returning to Yingchuan to visit his parents, he said goodbye to Cao Cao alone, and after many difficulties and dangers, he finally arrived in Chang'an.

Seeing Chen Long's questions, Xun You hurriedly said: "Lord, I only know a little about the situation in Luoyang. Before his subordinates and Cao Cao fled, Dong Zhuo had been purging dissidents, and later forcibly appointed Liu Xie as Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty. As for Jia Xuqi, it seems that he has heard that he is Dong Zhuo's number one think tank, but I don't know what he does. ”

Chen Long was still overjoyed, after all, Gongda was a well-known mastermind in the world, and his soft power had added a heavy weight. This time to defend the city, there is a lack of a heavy military division. The two talked happily, and were happily entering the city hand in hand, when suddenly there was the sound of horses' hooves behind them, Chen Long and Xun You turned around, only to see two horses slipping through the smoke and dust, and in the blink of an eye, they arrived in front of them.

When Chen Long looked carefully, he saw that the first batch of special team members who immediately stayed at Fengling Ferry, was responsible for checking whether there were any military ships attacking in the direction of Luoyang; Looking at the second horse again, I couldn't help but be overjoyed: "Zhao Da, it's you who came!" ”
