The brigade set off and headed for Luoyang.

However, the Luoyang palace is dilapidated, and it is necessary to send someone to repair it first, and at this time, Jingzhou Liu Biao has already agreed to contribute, so money is not a problem.

When the group arrived in Dayang County, they temporarily stayed and waited for the palace to be repaired.

The county was full of ruins, and the emperor could only stay in the homes of the people.

Liu Ping did not persuade the emperor to go to Xu County, and could only order Han Hao to find a house for a common person to live in in Dayang County temporarily.

Of course, only he led Tai Shici, Zhang Liao, Zhou Cang, and Lu Qi to live here, while Han Hao lived in the military camp.

The task was not completed, Liu Ping was also very anxious, and when he was very bored, he carved a pair of mahjong with bamboo, and several people played a bloody battle to the end.

Two days later, Hanoi Taishou Zhang Yang came to meet the emperor and provided military rations and grass.

Zhang Yang belonged to the Bingzhou military group, and served under Ding Yuan with Zhang Liao and Lü Bu, but at this time Lü Bu had been reduced to a prisoner, Zhang Liao had taken refuge in the Cao family, but Zhang Yang was sitting in Hanoi and became a prince of the dominant side.

Each has its own circumstances, Zhang Liao did not go to meet Zhang Yang, and may also feel that his current identity is not satisfactory.

Inside the emperor's house.

Liu Xie knelt on the ground, and Dong Cheng bowed and saluted: "Your Majesty, the scout sent to Yanzhou has returned." ”

When Liu Ping first came, Liu Xie thought that he was just a Tuntian official under Cao Cao who was in charge of thousands of people, so he didn't pay much attention to it.

Even Liu Ping persuaded him to evacuate quickly, which angered him.

However, the subsequent development of events proved that Liu Ping's judgment to persuade him to evacuate was correct, if he had listened to Liu Ping's words earlier, there would not have been so many people left in the hundred officials.

Later, I saw that Liu Ping's Tuntian army not only defeated Zhang Ji's 2,000 Xiliang army, but also defeated Li Dao like a devastating one, and his generals did not take much effort to pick Li Dao to death.

He felt more and more that Liu Ping's identity would never be as simple as he saw on the surface, just a Tuntian official.

So he asked Dong Cheng to send someone to Yanzhou for an unannounced visit.

"Is Liu Qing really only in charge of a county tuntian?"

"Naturally not," Dong Cheng shook his head with a wry smile and said, "Your Majesty, the identity of this General Liu is really unpredictable.

He was originally born in a small servant of the Cao family, but he didn't expect to save Cao Song by mistake and get ahead, and since then he has been out of control.

He cleared the plague, saved the people of Yanzhou, and then led the army to attack Puyang, captured Lü Bu alive, and swept away the Yanzhou rebellion. ”

What Liu Ping did was not a secret in Yanzhou, and he could ask someone who was a little more well-informed.

You don't even need to go to Yanzhou to ask, some things have gradually spread throughout the thirteen states of the Han Dynasty, after all, those things can be passed on as anecdotes.

It's just that Liu Xie has been imprisoned in Chang'an and can't pay attention.

"Oh? This Liu Qing is so young to make such a feat? Rao is Liu Xie had already realized that Liu Ping was not an ordinary Tuntian official, and he was also a little shocked when he heard Dong Cheng say this.

Seeing that Liu Ping is not a few years older than him, he has already commanded so many big battles, and every time he wins more with less, he can't help but be envious of Liu Xie.

He, the emperor, is most embarrassed that he has no soldiers in his hands, so he can only be at the mercy of others.

"This General Liu also has an important identity, he is Cao Mengde's son-in-law, and he is Cao Mengde's most trusted confidant, even far more than several other sons, and now he is still the county guard of Chengjun and Dongguan County," Dong Cheng said.

Liu Xie couldn't help but be gloomy when he heard this, no wonder he was indifferent when he used the so-called hussar general to attract him.

If an ordinary Tuntian official suddenly got such a high-ranking official, I am afraid that he would have knelt down to thank him a long time ago.

But since he is a confidant like Cao Cao, who is in charge of both the army and the people, and is an official position with real power, he naturally looks down on the false title he has awarded.

"This kind of talent, although the surname is Liu, it's a pity that it's not my royal bloodline, and it can't be used by my Han family," Liu Xie shook his head depressedly.

Dong Cheng saw that the emperor was not in high spirits, so he withdrew.

Empress Fu came out of the door curtain from a room on the side, knelt beside her and said softly: "Your Majesty, but you are anxious because you can't get the assistance of a virtuous person like Liu Qing?" ”

The two of them have shared hardships and hardships for many years, lived and died together, and they have long transcended the feelings between ordinary emperors and queens.

Empress Fu is not only Empress Liu Xie, but also his most powerful helper.

Hearing Queen Fu's question, Liu Xie nodded silently.

Empress Fu smiled and said: "The Han Dynasty has spread since Emperor Gaozu, four hundred years ago, and there are no less than hundreds of thousands of people who have the blood of the imperial family, how can Your Majesty know that Liu Qing is not?" ”

Liu Xie instantly understood what Empress Fu meant.

In fact, the royal bloodline is a very empty thing, and it is impossible to verify the authenticity.

For example, Liu Bei, after claiming to be the King of Zhongshan Jing, didn't he know that Liu Sheng, the King of Zhongshan alone, had more than 100 sons, who knew whether his identity was true or false, but because the emperor took a fancy to his talent, he recognized him as the emperor's uncle.

Liu Ping is the same, as long as the emperor recognizes him as a member of the Han family, his identity will not be doubted.

The difference is that Liu Bei was in a hurry to admit it, but Liu Ping took the initiative to propose it and had nothing to do with the royal bloodline.

"Let's discuss this matter again," Liu Xie shook his head, he already knew that Liu Ping didn't have the heart to cling.

"However, judging from Liu Qing's actions to clear the plague in Yanzhou and save the people, he is a benevolent person, the so-called doctor is benevolent, and it is better to put the lives of you and me in his hands than in the hands of Han Xian."

Over the years, Liu Xie has read a lot of medical books in the palace, so he has a natural good impression of the doctors who treat diseases and save people.

……

In the next few days, Han Xian, the commander of the White Wave Army, had a large number of troops and became more and more domineering, wanting to ask the emperor for the official position of general and Guanglu Siqing, and to fake the festival and open the palace.

The general is the head of the hundred officials, Guanglu Siqing is one of the nine kings, and the highest commander of the palace guard Yulin Army, and the fake Jieyue can act on behalf of the emperor.

All officials have to listen to him, the emperor's guards are all his people, and he can also have a set of independent offices to give orders on behalf of the emperor, which is equivalent to the birth of another Dong Zhuo.

When he made such a request, the few remaining high-ranking officials in the DPRK and China naturally opposed it.

So Han Xian was ready to be rough and kill several important people Liwei, and the primary target was Dong Cheng.

Dong Chengyang Feng escorted the emperor all the way here, and they felt that they were the ones who had the greatest credit.

Yang Feng's prestige in the Baibo army is not low, Han Xian naturally can't make a move against Yang Feng, and the only one left who can kill Li Wei is Dong Cheng.

Bai Bo's army was powerful, and Dong Cheng had no strength to compete with, so in desperation, he could only take refuge in Zhang Yang.

At this time, in addition to the Bai Bo army, only the flamboyant Hanoi army and Liu Ping's Yanzhou army remained.

Liu Ping's Yanzhou army was only 1,000 people, and its power was too small, Dong Cheng wanted to save his life, and taking refuge in the flamboyant Hanoi army was the only choice.

So Zhang Yang sent Dong Cheng to Luoyang to renovate the palace and temporarily avoided Han Xian.

After Dong Cheng was forced to leave, Liu Xie simply rewarded the generals in order to calm the hearts of the generals.

Named Han Siam as the general, Hu Cai, the commander of another Baibo army, as the general of Zhengdong, and Zhang Yang as the general of Anguo.

However, Liu Xiedudu did not reward Liu Ping and his generals, which made Tai Shici, Zhang Liao and others feel indignant.
