Chapter 167: A Narrow Road Encounter

Liu Xie glanced at Zhong Xuan and sighed: "Han Aiqing is far away in Jingnan, even if he has the heart to save the driver, I am afraid that the water from far away will not quench the thirst of the near." Liu Jingsheng is my Han clan relative, how about I ask him for help? ”

Zhong Xuan said again: "Your Majesty, Liu Biao and other princes occupy each prefecture and county, annex each other, and mess with our Han Sheji. I am afraid that troops will not be sent to the rescue, and Your Majesty must prepare in advance. ”

Suddenly, there was a lot of noise and shouting outside the camp gate, and Dong Cheng hurriedly came in and said to Liu Xie: "Your Majesty, Li Dao's army is besieging the camp and wants to assassinate him, and the situation is extremely critical. Your Majesty, please move with your ministers as soon as possible! ”

Liu Xie was so frightened that he hurriedly got up and went out with Zhong Xuan and Dong Cheng, and Yang Feng and Dong Cheng led the army to protect Liu Xie's retreat. When Emperor Xian Liu Xie fled to the bank of the Yellow River, it was already dusk, and Taiwei Yang Biao asked Li Le to cross the Yellow River at night, find a ferry, and take Emperor Xian across the river.

The bank of the Yellow River is more than ten zhang high, Zhong Xuan and others carried the emperor on the boat, and the chasing soldiers of Li Dao, Guo Yan and others have arrived. Seeing that the situation was critical, the soldiers all rushed to climb on the boat, the ferry almost capsized, Dong Cheng and Li Le cut off the fingers of the soldiers with their swords, and the ship was interrupted innumerable.

Dong Cheng ordered the boatman to row the ferry, and Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty finally escaped the Yellow River, and only dozens of people such as the queen, Yang Biao, and Zhong Xuan were left. Offering the emperor to Dayang, Hanoi Taishou Zhang Yang sent thousands of people to carry grain and rice tribute to the emperor.

When he arrived in Anyi, Hedong Taishou Wangyi also offered silk. Emperor Xian worshiped Zhang Yang as the general of Anguo, Hu Cai as the general of Zhengdong, and Feng Wangyi as the marquis.

Han Xuan led Zhou Tai, Zhang Zhao and others and more than 1,000 elite soldiers to bring enough grain and grass, from the Lujiang River to the north through Runan County, and when they arrived in Yingchuan County, most of the grain and grass had been consumed. Zhang Zhao went to Yingchuan to borrow grain from the county guard, and Han Xuan took the opportunity to visit Chen Ji's mansion.

Chen Ji stroked his beard and said to Han Xuan: "Han Xuan, little friend, I haven't seen you for a long time, are you okay recently?" ”

Han Xuan smiled and said, "Mr. Yuanfang, I'm just wasting some time in the land of Jingchu. It is not as good as Mr. Yuan Fang's dedication to study, writing books and sayings. ”

"By the way, why don't you see Brother Changwenxian?"

"Why, the long text has not been effective under the Zixin account?" Chen Ji wondered.

Han Xuan was puzzled: "Why did Mr. Yuan Fang say this?" ”

"Yanzhou Mu Cao Cao wrote a long article, and the long text was not ordered. He went south to Jingzhou to find a little friend and work for you. You've never seen each other? ”

Han Xuan understood, Chen Qun must have gone to Changsha to find him, but Han Xuan was in Yangzhou before, and he happened to miss it with Chen Qun.

"Mr. Yuanfang, don't worry, I will send someone to find Changwen after I return to Changsha, and if he wants to come to my account, Xuanzi is welcome." Han Xuan comforted Chen Jidao.

"By the way, Xuan is here for King Qin. Li Dao, Guo Yan and others are in turmoil, the Son of Heaven is covered with dust, and I want to welcome the Son of Heaven to take refuge in the south of the Yangtze River. Xuan came from afar to bring the soldiers and horses with insufficient food and grass, and Mr. Wangyuan Fang took one or two. Han Xuan still expressed his intention to Chen Ji.

I saw Chen Ji say: "It is the responsibility of the ministers to welcome the Son of Heaven, and it is definitely incumbent on him." My Chen family is willing to sponsor the little friends of the soldiers, horses and grass, and the old man will also advocate that the families of the Yingchuan clan sponsor you. ”

Han Xuan was overjoyed, bowed down and bowed to Chen Ji and said, "Thank you, Mr. Yuanfang, the great grace and great virtue are unforgettable." ”

With the support of the Yingchuan clan, Han Xuan led the army to speed up the march. More than ten days later, Han Xuan and his people finally rushed to the territory of Sili.

Dong Cheng and Zhang Yang wanted to return the emperor to Luoyang, but Yang Feng, Li Le and others did not obey, and the generals were suspicious of each other. Han Xian led an army to attack Dong Cheng, Dong Cheng fled to the wild king, Hu Cai wanted to attack Han Xian again, and Emperor Xian sent Zhong Xian to stop them.

Emperor Xian, escorted by Yang Feng, Han Xian and others, returned to Luoyang. Emperor Xian used the merit of escorting the driver, moved Zhang Yang Da Sima, Yang Feng as the general of the chariot cavalry, Han Xian as the general, and the fake Si Li lieutenant, all of which were fake festivals. Luoyang by Dong Zhuo's rebellion, has become a ruin, dedicated to the emperor Liu Xie to live in the newly repaired South Palace Yang An Palace, the hundred officials have no residence, only thorns, leaning on the wall.

The states and counties did not come to pay tribute, Luoyang had a food shortage, the ministers were hungry, or there were people who died of starvation. The monarch and the ministers were in a very difficult situation.

Emperor Liu Xie asked the ministers: "Now that Luoyang has become a ruin, do you Aiqing have any good plans?" ”

Dong Zhaojin, the speaker of the council, admonished: "Your Majesty, the ministers foolishly think that Yanzhou Mu Cao Cao is a capable minister who governs the world, and his fierce generals are like clouds, and strategists are like rain, and they will be able to exterminate Li Dao Guo Yan and other thieves." With this person, His Majesty will definitely be able to rejuvenate the Han Dynasty. Why didn't His Majesty issue an edict to him and let him lead his troops into the court to protect him. ”

Liu Xie was just about to agree, but Zhong Xuan retorted: "Lord Dong doesn't dare to agree with what he sees, Cao Cao's city is very deep, if he is summoned to lead troops into the court, it is difficult to guarantee that he is not the second Dong Zhuo!" ”

"Doctor Zhong, you ...... Why do you slander Cao Mengde so much? Dong Zhao pointed at Zhong Xuan and asked.

But seeing Zhong Xuan, he continued: "Your Majesty, the minister thinks that General Yangwu Han Xuan cares about the Han Dynasty, Your Majesty only needs to order him to come, and Han Xuan will definitely be able to help Your Majesty wipe out the thieves......"

"Enough! I have my own opinions, and you Aiqing must also help me. Liu Xie patted Hu on the bed and said, Liu Xie was hungry in his belly, and asked Dong Zhao to ask someone to make some porridge.

Dong Zhao and Cao Cao have long been in contact, Cao Cao asked him to say a lot of good things in front of the emperor, and Cao Cao promised that he would protect Dong Zhao's wealth after he gained power. Dong Zhao secretly thought to himself, among the princes who guarded the Son of Heaven, Yang Feng had the strongest soldiers and horses, and there was no party aid in the court, so he could unite with him to plan great things.

Dong Zhao asked people to contact Cao Cao, and Cao Cao sent a letter to Yang Feng, in which he said that Cao Cao was willing to provide foreign aid to Yang Feng, and said that Yang Feng had soldiers, Cao Cao had food, and they happened to communicate with each other.

Yang Fengde was overjoyed, so he listed Cao Cao as the general of Zhendong and attacked his father, the Marquis of Feiting. Keri entered the Luoyang Dynasty to meet the emperor.

Cao Cao took Xun Yu and a cadre to prepare the Son of Heaven to drive to meet the emperor, Cao Cao was wearing a red robe and iron armor, and asked Xun Yu as he walked: "Wen Ruo, what should I pay attention to in a certain pilgrimage to the Son of Heaven?" ”

Xun Yu advised: "When the lord enters the court, he must follow the courtesy of the monarch and the minister, so that His Majesty can rest assured, and don't let people fall behind." ”

Cao Cao stopped and asked, "Wen Ruo, do you need to bring some tribute to the Son of Heaven in a certain dynasty?" ”

Xun Yu said with a smile: "The Son of Heaven and the hundred officials are hungry and cold, and all they ask for is just a few mouthfuls of broth and a few pieces of bread." ”

Cao Cao raised his head and laughed loudly, asked Xun Yu to send people down to prepare, and led everyone to the outskirts of Luoyang.

And Han Xuan also led the army to more than ten miles southeast of Luoyang, and reported to Malai: "Cao Cao has led the army into Luoyang, and Cao Cao's army guards all over the city gate." ”

Han Xuan looked up to the sky and sighed: "It's better to let Cao Mengde take the lead!" ”

Zhang Zhao suggested: "Lord, I can't wait thousands of miles to come to King Qin, how can I return empty-handed?" ”

"Zibu means ......"

"The lord can send someone to the Son of Heaven to prepare the heart of loyalty to the monarch and protect the country, the lord has no merit and hard work, and the Son of Heaven will definitely reward the lord. Cao Cao and others could not refute it. Zhang Zhao explained.

"Good! According to Zibu. As soon as Han Xuan finished speaking, he saw dust flying in the distance, and a military horse rushed over, with the words "Li" and "Guo" written on the flag.

"Li Dao! The whole army was ordered to line up and prepare to meet the enemy. Han Xuan gritted his teeth and glared angrily at the small flag of "Li" and said.

Zhou Tai commanded more than 1,000 elite soldiers to line up and wait, time was pressing, Han Xuan didn't have time to set up eight formations, and Li Dao and Guo Yan had already led a large number of Xiliang iron cavalry to arrive.

Seeing that Han Xuan led his troops to stop them, Li Wei stepped forward and asked, "Who is coming?" Why are you stopping me here? ”

Han Xuan drew his sword and pointed at Li Dao and shouted angrily: "Li Dao!! I've been waiting for this moment for a long time, you ruined Dong Wan's innocence and caused her to commit suicide, and destroyed the Dong family, I can't wait to rip out your heart to vent my anger! ”

Han Xuan's tears couldn't help but burst out, the enemy was right in front of him, how could he not be excited. Li Dao raised his phoenix wings and laughed loudly: "It turns out that you want to avenge the Dong family, let me tell you, the jade body of the third lady of the Dong family is worth recalling." Tut-tut, I'm so nostalgic, but it's a pity ......"

"Beast, I'm going to chop you up and feed it to the wolves!" As soon as Han Xuan slapped his horse, raised his sword, led a group of cavalry to rush towards Li Dao and kill him.
