Chapter 334: Movement of the Parties
At this moment, in the center of Chang'an, in the splendid hall, it can be said that it has been pressed into a ball, a middle-aged man with a long beard, sitting on the throne with a golden sword, looking at the people below with a brutal face.
This man can sit on the dragon chair, which means that his identity must be very precious, but he is not the Ninety-Five Supreme, not Emperor Han Xian but Li Dao.
Li Dao was actually not very interested in the position of the dragon chair, because he had done it countless times before this, and he was tired of sitting.
Thinking that he and his friend Guo Yan at the beginning, the two mustered up the last courage to send troops to Chang'an and attack Lu Bu and Wang Yun, thinking that they would die for life, but they never expected that after their unity, Chang'an was really defeated, and everything was theirs.
But when Li Dao and Guo Yan were completely in charge of Chang'an, a question arose, as the so-called one mountain does not tolerate two tigers, who is the one who says it? In the face of this problem, the two of them did not sit down and talk calmly, but continued to fight openly and secretly, and finally after a few years, Li Dao finally won the victory, killed Guo Yan, and grasped the power, but at this moment Chang'an has become rotten and crumbling, and the ministers in the court are even more dead, fleeing, listening to the noise outside, Li Dao only feels very annoyed.
Li Dao's heart was full of fire, the wine glass in his hand fell heavily to the ground, and he looked at the few generals in front of him and drank loudly: "What are you wastes for?" Lao Tzu usually gives you good food, good clothing, and good play, but now you are useless, what is the use of raising you waste! ”
Li Dao scolded the generals in front of him, and only after a while did one of the generals muster up the courage to stand up, glanced at Li Dao and said: "My lord, we have searched through the entire Chang'an, and we have not found any trace of the emperor!" I estimate that those ministers have already taken the little emperor out of Chang'an, and if we want to catch up with him, we will probably come! ”
When Li Dao heard this, he was even more angry in his heart, and couldn't help but scolded again: "Lao Tzu tells you the truth, that little emperor is the last trump card in our hands, if he runs away, several of us will die, you said that the little emperor was taken out by those old wastes, but what can those old wastes do, usually see me trembling and almost scared their urine out, but now I can transfer the little emperor out unknowingly, I don't believe it!" ”
"I tell you, if you can't find anyone, you will continue to look for me, until you find it!"
Li Dao was furious, making several of his subordinates tremble and have no choice, and finally had to leave with a hard head.
Seeing that several of his subordinates did what they wanted, Li Daode didn't feel any good in his heart, he couldn't help but walk outside the main hall, looked outside, and found that the palace was already rotten into a mess at this moment.
Countless soldiers came and went in the palace, they were not patrolling, but looking around the palace, whether there were any treasures left inside, if they waited for him Li Dao, once defeated, they could also take the treasures and flee for their lives.
Although Li Dao is still nominally in control of Chang'an, but Li Dao knows that after two years of infighting, his prestige has dropped to the freezing point, and there are very few troops that he can exercise well, and he seems to have little vitality.
And at this moment, in a certain corner of the palace, a different eunuch walked cautiously to a dark hall, and said respectfully.
"Master, I have already found out the news from the outside, and now there are a total of five princes who are willing to come over to welcome the Son of Heaven, namely Cao Xing of Bingzhou, Yuan Shao of Jizhou, Cao Cao of Yanzhou, Yuan Shu of Runan, and Sun Jian of Jiangdong!"
The person who was called the master by this eunuch was a man who looked to be fourteen or fifteen years old, and this person was also wearing a eunuch suit, and after listening to the eunuch's return, he asked lightly.
"Hou Yan, you also know that the life of the Son of Heaven is in dire straits, this time we must rescue the Son of Heaven, and we can't let the Son of Heaven suffer this kind of unwarranted disaster again, although there are five princes willing to come to meet him, but the Son of Heaven can only follow the princes all the way to leave, which one do you think the princes are the most trustworthy!"
The eunuch called Hou Yan thought for a moment, and then arched his hand and said: "Master, I have also heard some other news in the outside knowledge, although the princes of the five roads are powerful, but it seems that those who are willing to assist Your Majesty in the Han Dynasty are only Sun Jian of Jiangdong, and the other princes are all with their own ghosts, and each of them has their own purpose, so don't be gullible!" ”
After hearing this, the young man nodded and waved his hand to Hou Yan: "You go out first, remember, this matter must be kept secret, and the whereabouts of the Son of Heaven must not be revealed, otherwise we will all be finished!" ”
Hou Yan replied yes, and then slowly retreated, when watching Hou Yan completely withdraw from the door, the young man looked behind him, this is an ordinary looking wall that can no longer be ordinary, but the young man ripped off the cloth on it, and a map of the Central Plains was immediately presented, and the young man looked at the southeast with burning eyes, which was Jiangdong.
"Jiangdong, hehe, Jiangdong should be a good place, I believe Your Majesty will like it!" As he spoke, the corners of the young man's mouth showed a strange arc.
At this moment, in Bingzhou, Cao Xing convened some generals to gather together in order to discuss the rescue of Emperor Han Xian this time. Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty is the biggest source of public opinion in the world, if he holds it in his hands, it is equivalent to mastering a trump card, and Cao Xuan does not want to let it go, because this matter is very important, so the personnel convened by Cao Xian have his two think tanks, Fa Zheng and Jia Xu, and Jin Yiwei must be fully involved.
Even in order to increase the force value of the character this time, Cao Xing directly raised Gan Ning from the barracks, and handed over all military affairs to Chen Hu and Wei Yan.
During the period of time when Gan Ning came to Bingzhou, he had made rapid progress in martial arts, and now he has unintentionally reached the point of martial arts eightfold, and he can already rank among the ranks of first-class generals.
With Gan Ning's help, I believe that the success rate of this mission will also be greatly increased.
Seeing that everyone had arrived, Cao Xuan nodded and motioned for Che Wu to start telling the information, and this meeting began, after a small half an hour, Che Wu told all the information collected by Jinyiwei, and Cao Xuan asked Fa Zheng to take the lead in starting to analyze.
The first is Cao Cao, Cao Cao came back from Xuzhou with soldiers and horses, but he has been stationed at the border of Yanzhou, and has not made any moves until now, Fa Zheng has only one feeling about Cao Cao's approach, that is, Cao Cao is now the closest to Chang'an City, after all, Chaoge has been occupied by Cao Cao, if Cao Cao wants to do it, he only needs to take the soldiers to raid, and even go straight to Chang'an is not a problem, after all, Li Dao is a second-rate and third-rate general, plus he doesn't understand politics at all, In the past few years, it has completely squandered the accumulation of Chang'an, so Chang'an has become vulnerable.
Therefore, if you want to welcome back Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty, Cao Cao is the most powerful person, after all, Cao Cao can command the army to move westward, which is the most convenient point, whether it is Yuan Shao or Cao Xing, they can't do this, even Sun Jian is from afar.
Therefore, Cao Xing's counterattack against Cao Cao was to directly order Wei Yan to take the army to the south of the state and make a posture of sneak attack on Yanzhou, Cao Xuan did not believe that in this situation that Yanzhou might be sneak attacked, Cao Cao also dared to take the army to rescue Emperor Han Xian.
The second is Yuan Shao, but Yuan Shao is far away in Jizhou, without the convenience of Cao Cao and Cao Xing, if he wants to rescue Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty, he can only use Xu You's intelligence force, according to the return of Jinyiwei. Xu You seems to have been defeated in disguise now, quietly infiltrated the territory of Bingzhou, and caused some minor damage to the border of Yuzhou, and now Jinyiwei has someone rushing over and preparing to defend.
Xu You must be well versed in the way of espionage, and it is not an easy thing to get it out of the vast sea of people, of course, Cao You has reason to believe that Xu You is making trouble in Bingzhou, and he will never dare to make things bigger, because once the matter is big, he Xu You will be exposed, and then Cao Xing can catch it along the vine, so Cao Xing's matter of Xu You can be put aside for the time being.
As for Yuan Shu of Runan, he wanted to welcome back Emperor Han Xian, in Cao Xing's opinion, it was completely to gamble, and he wanted to compete with his cousin Yuan Shao, after all, the infighting between the two brothers has never stopped, Yuan Shu has only one purpose, that is, he must prove to the world that he is stronger than his brother Yuan Shao, since Yuan Shao has sent troops to rescue Emperor Han Xian, then he can't be idle.
It is said that Yuan Shu also made a bloody investment this time, and sent his general Ji Ling to lead a force around the trail and march into Chang'an, but according to the return of Jinyiwei, this army disappeared halfway through, and everyone had some doubts when they heard the news.
A good end of a force may always disappear out of thin air to rescue Emperor Han Xian, for Yuan Shu its geographical location is not very good, he must pass through Yanzhou or Mergezhou, or even Jizhou, so once his troops enter other people's territory, they will definitely be discovered, but now disappear out of thin air, is it a little unreasonable?
In the end, Fa Zheng put forward a possibility, that is, Yuan Shu's wolf ambition, where he wanted to return to the Han Dynasty to offer the emperor, Yuan Shao was just gambling this time.
In the end, Fa Zheng thought that Yuan Shu was here to play with the family, and he didn't think about using the power in his hands to save the Son of Heaven, so he estimated that he sent troops to wander outside, and that army returned home like this, so Jinyiwei didn't find their traces.
Although Fazheng's conjecture seems a bit far-fetched, there seems to be only one explanation for it at present.
However, Cao Xing is also firm on a problem, Yuan Shu in history is the first guy to be called the emperor, which also shows from the side where Yuan Shu will be loyal to the Han family, thinking about being the emperor himself, he wishes that Emperor Han Xian would never come back.
This also provided a theoretical basis for Fa Zheng's statement, and Cao Xuan put aside the matter of Yuan Shu for the time being.
But the most headache should be Sun Jian, Sun Jian's appearance can be said to be a sideways kill, and Sun Jian came more fiercely than Cao Cao this time, it is said that the Qing led 10,000 horses to welcome back the Son of Heaven.
Cao Xing can only say that Sun Jian is indeed a loyal minister of the Han family, the princes of the Eighteenth Road ask for Dong, and the only ones who are really dedicated to the Han are Sun Jian and Cao Cao, Cao Cao at that time has not completely transformed from a rich child, so he often loses battles, but Sun Jian is different.
When he was a minor, he dared to kill people with a knife, and his martial arts and courage were not comparable to ordinary people, so at that time, he fought smoothly, and even his reputation reached Dong Zhuo's ears, Dong Zhuo was afraid when he heard Sun Jian's name, and he wanted to make a family relationship with Sun Jian, but he was rejected by Sun Jian, so Sun Jian was really a loyal minister of the Han family, and this time the army was understandable.
And Sun Jian's march was very fast, and now he has passed through Jingzhou. According to the information obtained by Jinyiwei, Fa Zheng finally analyzed that Emperor Han Xian should have escaped from Chang'an at this moment, and the only way for Emperor Han Xian was to walk east and pass through Tongguan.
With the feet of Emperor Han Xian and civil and military officials. It is estimated that he did not arrive in Luoyang so quickly, so Fa Zheng is sure that Emperor Han Xian and others should be in Hongnong's generation at this moment.
For Fa Zheng's analysis, everyone is meaningless, since Emperor Han Xian has left Chang'an, Sun Jian and others have attacked, Cao Xuan and others cannot be left behind, so Cao Xing immediately ordered, and their side is also ready to set off.
Of course, this mission can be regarded as a rescue mission, for such a thing, Cao Xing does not approve of the dispatch of the army, after all, there are several groups of people who want to save Emperor Han Xian, and the movement is too big to be unfavorable to himself, not to mention that it is easy to lose more than he gains, after all, the army is withdrawn from his own territory, and the final result is very likely to be the loss of his own territory.
Therefore, Cao Xing will only use Jinyiwei, this time Jinyiwei's action is to use Jia Xu as the staff officer, Fa Zheng as the commander-in-chief, and Che Wu with Jinyiwei full authority.
Although the final arrangement is like this, Cao Xuan still has to go there in person, and it is not a trivial matter without him, so after arranging the things here, Cao Xuan is ready to leave. Of course, Cao Xing, since he handed over the power to his own subordinates to operate, what Cao Xing has to do is to be behind the scenes.
