Chapter 414: Belonging
In the dense forest not far from the road between Chang'an and Tongguan, a team of no more than 100 people dressed in Cao Jun's costume is hidden here, I don't know what is waiting for. Follow? Dream?. lā
In their anxiety and apprehension, soon, a large number of noisy footsteps could be heard in the distance on the road. The hearts of this group of people were tight, and they divided three or five scouts to the side of the road quietly, and saw a large army coming from a distance, and in the army, countless banners with the word "Cao" were flying.
The scout was overjoyed and immediately sent someone back to report the news. Soon, after the team of 100 people learned the news, they came to the side of the road, and while the army was marching, the group quickly entered it. The road was unimpeded, as if they had been prepared in advance, and the group came directly to the center of the army, next to Cao Cao's frame.
A thin figure in the group walked out of the group, followed by two people, and entered Cao Cao's frame.
"Minister Yanzhou Assassin Cao Cao, meet Your Majesty!" In the spacious frame, Cao Cao knelt on the ground and said respectfully.
"Meng De, please get up!"
This thin figure is none other than our little emperor Liu Cheng, who escaped from Chang'an. Seeing that Cao Cao was so respectful, without the arrogance of those reckless men in Xiliang, Liu Cheng flashed a trace of satisfaction in his heart, and hurriedly stepped forward to help him up.
"The minister's rescue is late, and because of the situation, I have to let Your Majesty temporarily compromise, and I hope Your Majesty will forgive your sins." Cao Cao got up and said with a look of shame.
"It's okay!" Liu Cheng smiled bitterly: "I'm very fortunate to be able to escape from Li Guo's two thieves, so why bother and seek perfection?" This time, thanks to Meng De's dedication, you were able to escape from the hands of the two thieves. When you return to Luoyang, you will be named the general of the chariot cavalry! ”
"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Cao Cao smiled disdainfully in his heart, but he still said respectfully on his face.
Seeing this, Liu Cheng, who is a small ghost, felt relieved. It seems that I made the wrong choice!
Long before Cao Liu sent his troops, Liu Cheng discussed with his "loyal ministers" and chose to defect to Cao Cao. said that it was a choice, but in fact, Liu Cheng basically didn't have a choice.
The princes of the world, the only ones who can tolerate him are Cao and Liu. Needless to say, Gongsun Zan and Lu Bu and the like, a private jade seal and a wolf ambition. Eryuan, the strength and fame are too strong, and it is impossible to occupy the magpie's nest and revive the glory of the Han Dynasty after the past. Liu Cheng has always been wary of these two people from the Yuan family, and Liu Xie's death was the most motive for these two people.
Looking at it, Cao Liu can choose between them. Compared with Liu Bei, who was born in the royal family and followed King Jing of Zhongshan, Liu Cheng chose Cao Cao without hesitation. Because Liu Bei's surname is Liu, although I don't know if it's true or not, he has always had the name of a Han clansman.
Liu Cheng, the son of heaven, to put it bluntly, was a puppet that Liu Yu randomly chose in a hurry after Liu Xie's death. The throne is not right, the emperor is unstable, if he defects to Liu Bei, who knows when he makes a mistake and will be usurped by this goods? is surnamed Liu, if Liu Bei forces him to give in, he has no choice.
To put it bluntly, Yu Wei of the Han family is still there, but today he only needs to be surnamed Liu. When the young emperor was deposed, and Liu Xie was made emperor by Dong Zhuo, didn't there be nothing during that time? This is too normal in the Han family, Liu Hong was elected by his relatives in the first place.
Therefore, Liu Yan was called the emperor, and the people of the world did not react much. However, it was because Liu Yu also set up Liu Cheng at that time, and the situation of two emperors appeared that the people of the world were angry. If Liu Bei wants to usurp the throne, the degree of difficulty is indeed not high, and the people and scholars in the world can accept it. Of course, whether the princes of the world admit it or not is a matter of two things.
Liu Bei would definitely not make such a stupid move when the overall situation was undecided, but Liu Cheng was not sure! Liu Cheng is completely a copy of Liu Xie, with a cold and timid temperament, and has always speculated on the other party with the deepest malice.
So in the end, Liu Cheng still chose Cao Cao. After communicating with him, he prepared in advance, and entered Cao Cao's army so smoothly.
Cao Cao did this because he was afraid that Liu Bei would compete with him. There is no doubt about the importance of the Son of Heaven, no matter how he is the great righteousness, and in his hands, he can occupy the highest point of the righteousness and occupy the first opportunity. Cao Cao will not let go of this "treasure" just because of the alliance with Liu Bei. In the face of vital interests, any alliance is empty.
Liu Cheng and Cao Cao, the two acting sends, come and go, and they are racing each other's acting skills, and there is a touching picture of harmony between monarchs and ministers in the car.
After a long talk, Liu Cheng obediently accepted Cao Cao's suggestion to hide in the carriage for the time being. At this time, he didn't want to see Liu Bei, so in order to avoid accidents, he simply became an ostrich for a while, anyway, he was used to it.
Here, Cao Cao grabbed in front of Liu Bei and unknowingly held the Son of Heaven in his hand. On the other side, the civil and military officials in Chang'an City fell into the hands of Liu Bei.
......
"General Guan, it's not good to be like this! You and I add up to only 20,000 elite horsemen, if Li Guo and the two thieves are ambushed in the city, I'm afraid we will all fall here! Xiahou Yuan dissuaded. Such an unsuspecting situation in Chang'an City made him feel uneasy, for fear that there would be some ambush.
Guan Yu glanced at Xiahou Yuan coldly, and said in a stiff tone: "If General Xiahou is worried, just wait here, and go first to take a look." ”
Seeing Guan Yu's cold expression and the dissatisfaction revealed in his words, Xiahou Yuan frowned slightly. He didn't know when he had sinned against him again.
In this world, Liu Bei can persuade Guan and Zhang, although Xiahou Yuan constantly knows and is courteous with emotion, but Guan Yu still turns a deaf ear and directly leads the army into the city.
"General! This person is too blind! Seeing Guan Yu leaving directly in front of Xiahou Yuan with such a stinky face, the deputy general didn't even say hello, and scolded angrily.
Xiahou Yuan looked at Guan Yu's distant figure with a calm face, and said softly: "Just let him try it and explore the path for us." I've always felt that it's not that simple. ”
Looking at the empty city wall, Xiahou Yuan didn't know why, and there was always a worry lingering in his heart.
Although Guan Yu looked fearless on his face, he acted extremely cautiously. Many teams were sent out to enter the city first to investigate the news, and they led the army to march unhurriedly.
With the news from all sides, Guan Yu got a pleasantly surprised news. Li Dao and Guo Yan fled, the whole Chang'an became an empty city, the Son of Heaven disappeared the night before, but now the hundred officials are still there!
Guan Yu didn't think about the question of why Li Dao Guo Yan had fled, Chang'an was empty and the hundred officials were still there, so he directly blocked the city gate of Chang'an as soon as possible, and sent his soldiers to gather the hundred officials from house to house to "protect" them.
