Chapter Forty-Eight: The Son of Heaven Is Saved Goes to Luoyang
However, he said that Guo Yan was defeated for a while, and he was unwilling, and in the early morning of the next day, he led the army to attack and kill Liu Xie. Xu Huang was the first to go out. Guo Yan's army surrounded from all sides and besieged Liu Xie, Yang Feng, and Dong Cheng in the heart.
Xu Huang fought hard, Yang Feng and Dong Cheng fought to the death on both sides, and a group of ministers also fought to the death with swords, Yang Feng and Dong Cheng fought to the death to protect Liu Xie and escape from the rear car; The palace people, the rune books, and the things that should be used by the Son of Heaven are all abandoned.
Guo Yan led the army to chase directly, burning and looting all the way. Dong Cheng and Yang Fengbao drove to northern Shaanxi, and Guo Yan caught up.
On the same day, Dong Cheng and Yang Feng drove to Tongguan, and the two discussed. Dong Chengdao: "Guo Yan is chasing after him, how can it be good?" ”
Yang Feng pondered for a while and said: "Now that the situation is dangerous, we only have less than 3,000 men left, so we can only send someone to make peace with Guo Yan; Now that the Baibo army in Hedong is strong, we can ask the Son of Heaven to secretly send a holy decree to Hedong, and urgently summon the three military horses of the late Baibo Shuai Han Xian, Li Le, and Hu Cai to come to the rescue and promise a heavy reward. ”
Dong Chengdao: "Then Li Le and the others are all thieves who gather in the mountains and forests, if they have evil intentions, how can they be born!" ”
The two of them pondered left and right, but there was no other plan, and Liu Bei and other reinforcements did not arrive, so they had to use this plan.
When Li Le and the other three armies heard that the Son of Heaven had forgiven their sins and bestowed officials, how could they not come, so they immediately pulled out the sergeants of their headquarters to welcome the Son of Heaven.
At that time, wherever Guo Yan went, he plundered the people, killed the old, weak, sick and disabled, and captured the strong young people to fill the army. Once the enemy is approached, the militia will be driven in front, known as the "daring army", and the power is huge for a time.
Li Le and the other armies will arrive in two days, and they will meet the Son of Heaven at Tongguan. Guo Yan chased and killed, and when he saw Li Le and the other Bai Bojun arriving, he thought: This Li Le and others are here again, and it is extremely difficult to win if they fight hard. Suddenly grinning, he had a plan, and immediately retreated, ordered the sergeant to abandon all his clothes and belongings on the road, and led the army to ambush on the side of the road.
Bai Bojun was originally a bandit, and when he saw that his clothes and objects were all over the ground, how could he not take it, so he immediately rushed to rob him, and the team was lost. Guo Yan saw that Li Le had a plan, and immediately led the army to kill, Li Le and other soldiers and horses were in chaos, Han Xian and Hu Cai were caught off guard and died in the chaos on the spot. Guo Yanjun took advantage of the situation to cover up the killing, and Li Le and others were defeated. Yang Feng and Dong Cheng couldn't resist it, so they drove east, and the thieves came behind them. Emperor Liu Xie and many ministers were frightened.
I saw that Li Le led the army to come, and Liu Xie was a little relieved.
Dong Chengdao: "General Li, has Guo Yan's thief army retreated?" ”
Li Le said: "Guo Yan's army is strong, and it is not easy to kill him. Now the form is critical, it is better to be stationed in Tongguan, Tongguan is dangerous, easy to defend and difficult to attack, and can resist the enemy. Besides, why don't you just be in Tongguan? ”
Dong Cheng was furious: "Luoyang is the place where the Son of Heaven built the capital, although Tongguan is dangerous, it is a small city, how can the Son of Heaven be allowed to drive?" It is the right thing to protect Luoyang today, you want to set the capital here, what is your intention? . As soon as Dong Cheng's words came out, Yang Feng was taken aback, and he scolded secretly in his heart: Dong Cheng, Dong Cheng, do you have a hole in your brain, this Li Le is originally a thief, even if you want to turn your face with him, be tactful! In case he jumps off the wall in a hurry, you'll just die, and you'll be a burden to me. Yang Bong was about to speak.
Li Le was furious, and he was about to fight with a gun, Yang Feng and the others were shocked, only to see Xu Huang coming out with a big axe behind Yang Feng, his eyes were full of divine light, and his face was full of anger. Li Le was so frightened that he was sweating profusely, and he didn't dare to do anything, so he had to say: "Wait until you go by yourself, I only live here." ”
Dong Cheng and Yang Feng had no choice but to lead the army to protect the Son of Heaven. After a while, Guo Yan led the army to the city, and Li Le led the army out of the city to greet him. Guo Yan was afraid that he had a trick, so he only shouted from afar: "Where is the Son of Heaven? ”
Li Le said: "Dong Cheng's old thief went to Luoyang with the Son of Heaven. I can't persuade him, so I have to stay here, General Guo, how about you and I join forces? ”
Guo Yan was overjoyed when he heard this, and led the army to come suddenly, and said to Li Le: "Now that the great Han is exhausted, it is a matter of time before it perishes, you and I might as well join forces to kill this Liu Xie, and the two of us will set ourselves up as emperors, and how about sharing the world equally in the future." "But I thought in my heart: I will deal with you, a thief, after robbing and killing Liu Xie.
Li Le was originally the head of the bandits, and he just wanted to be rich and glorious in his life, and he was at ease; This hearing can be the emperor, where can he not be greedy, he immediately agreed. The two laughed for a while, and immediately joined forces and waved their troops to chase and kill Liu Xie.
But he said that Dong Cheng waited out of Tongguan and traveled no mile, but he saw the dust in front of him, the golden drums were noisy, and infinite people came.
Liu Xie, the Queen Mother and many ministers trembled and did not dare to speak. Xu Huang stepped out with an axe and said, "Your Majesty is panicking, there is a certain person here." ”
Suddenly, when the first horse flew over, it was Yang Biao who sent the envoys to ask Liu Bei to rescue them, Liu Xie, Yang Biao and others were overjoyed, and the envoys rushed to Liu Xie's car and said: "General Liu has come in response to the edict, leading an army of 80,000, first sending his third brother Zhang Fei as the vanguard, leading a number of generals, 30,000 elite soldiers, first to protect." A few days ago, he joined forces with General Cao of Yanzhou, and the two of them came with a total of more than 100,000 troops. Yang Biao, Dong Cheng and others are at peace. Liu Xie was overjoyed and said: "General Liu and General Cao are really loyal ministers of the Han Dynasty. ”
Shaoqing, Zhang Fei led Dian Wei, Tai Shici and others to, to the front of the king, Zhang Fei and others said: "The minister is wearing armor, and he can't make a big salute." Liu Xie said with relief: "General Liu ordered elite soldiers to travel thousands of miles to protect him, and his loyalty can be seen in the sky, and you generals don't have to be polite." ”
As soon as Liu Xie finished speaking, he suddenly reported that another army had arrived in the east. Liu immediately ordered Zhang Fei to lead the army to investigate, and from time to time Zhang Fei replied: "It's my brother general Zhao Xu!" ”
"What! But that Zhao Xu who broke Yuan Shao? Dong Cheng and others exclaimed.
"Exactly!"
After a while, Zhao Xu, Zhao Yun, Zhao Xue, Zhou Cang, and Chen came to see the driver. Zhao Xu stepped forward and said, "Minister Zhao Xu came to protect him." Liu Xie was overjoyed, looked at Zhao Yun and the others and glanced at them, Zhao Yun and the others finished their names, Liu Xie saw that Zhao Xue was talented and majestic, and exclaimed: "There are such beautiful heroines in the world?" When the ministers and sergeants saw Zhao Xue's appearance, they were also speechless in surprise.
Zhao Xu thought: What to see, it's not yours to look at it again! Zhao Xu saw that the group of people could see it, and he was afraid that Zhao Xue would be embarrassed, so he immediately changed the topic and said: "General Liu knows that the thieves are near, and I am afraid that General Zhang Fei will be unable to do it alone, so he sent his ministers and others to take a shortcut to help." ”
Liu Xie sighed: "General Liu is also the minister of the real society. Then Zhao Xu waited for his life to escort forward. Suddenly probe the Malay newspaper: "Guo Yan and Li Le joined forces and drove here. ”
Liu Xie saw that Zhao Xu, Zhang Fei and other heroes were extraordinary, and they were not under Xu Huang, but they had something to rely on, so he was not afraid, and immediately ordered Zhang Fei to meet them in two ways. Zhang Fei and Tai Shici were divided into two wings, and the soldiers sent out were all elite horses, and Zhang Fei took the lead. shouted: "Yanren Zhang Yide is here!" ”
"Is it Zhang Fei and Zhang Yide who drank back the 100,000-strong army of Wuhuan?"
"Oh no, run!"
Li Le and his sergeants had already heard of Zhang Fei's name, only to be frightened and scattered, Guo Yan's militia saw that Zhang Fei was so powerful, and thought: I have been saved. Immediately defected. Guo Yanjun has no fighting spirit. Zhang Fei and the others fought hard, the militia fought back, and Li Le's army had already run away! Where could Guo Yan's army resist, he was defeated and fled, and Zhang Fei and others beheaded more than 10,000 people.
After defeating the enemy army, Zhao Xu and others asked Liu Xie to return to the Luoyang Forbidden City. Liu Xie was overjoyed: "It is exactly what I want." Zhao Xu and others immediately led the army to Luoyang and joined Liu Bei and others.
