Chapter 198: Rescue the Abolished Emperor
In November of the first year of Zhongping, Dong Zhuo worshiped Xiangguo, sealed the Marquis of Yi, and had the privilege of "entering the court and not going to the palace", and since then Dong Zhuo's power in the court has been in full swing. Dong Zhuo, www.biquge.info of the pen "Fun" Pavilion, named his mother "Chi Yang Jun" again, violating the setting order and Cheng.
Since then, Dong Zhuo's cruel character has gradually been exposed, and it is best to use criminal law to establish authority. When he visited Dong Zhuo, Dong Zhuo forgot to remove his sword, and Dong Zhuo took advantage of the question and ordered him to be beaten to death.
He also instructed someone to kill Empress Dowager He's mother, Wuyang Jun, who was stranded in the General's Mansion in Luoyang City, and even dug up He Miao's body from the grave and dismembered it and threw it in the garden. When He Miao's wife and concubines heard this, they all cried and unanimously begged Han Yi to raise troops for revenge. Han Yi was helpless, so he had to persuade with kind words first.
Soon, Zhou Hui, the son of Dasi Nong Zhou Zhong, heard that the city of Luoyang had changed, so he went to Luoyang, Dong Zhuo was very disgusted with him, and sent troops to rob and kill him.
Since December, rumors have spread all over the world that Dong Zhuo is cruel and unkind. However, Dong Zhuo didn't care about it and still did it.
Dong Zhuo also saw that the mansions of the rich families and nobles in Luoyang City were continuous, the families were solid, and the gold and silk properties were innumerable, so he indulged his subordinates and implemented the so-called name of prison. These soldiers went around killing people and setting fires, raping and kidnapping women, looting materials, and making the whole city of Luoyang restless and complaining.
Cao Cao failed to assassinate Dong Zhuo because of this, and fled all the way back to Chenliu. and Chen Liutai, Zhang Miao, Wei Zi and others recruited troops in the local area to try to fight against Dong Zhuo's evil government. He also sent a message to Han Yi to prepare for Dong's affairs, and also sent two generals, Xiahou Dun and Xiahou Yuan, to take over more than 3,000 soldiers and horses from the military academy and lieutenant department as promised.
Soon, Dongjun Taishou Qiaomao showed the documents issued by the three princes and distributed them to the prefectures and county governments, stating Dong Zhuo's crimes, calling on all prefectures and counties to raise troops against Dong and restore the throne of Liu Bian, the king of Hongnong.
Han Yi was shocked when he heard this, in this way, with Dong Zhuo's tyranny, wouldn't he have murdered Liu Bian, the king of Hongnong, first. He Zhen once asked herself to protect Liu Bian, and this love must be returned. Han Yi immediately sent Yan Ping and Fang Ji to Luoyang, and ordered Yang Li, who was lurking in Luoyang City, to try to rescue Liu Bian, the king of Hongnong. He also sent three generals, Yuhua, He Man, and Liao Hua, to lead 300 elite soldiers to meet near Yique Pass in Henan.
"What? Want to save King Hongnong from Beijing? Yang Li looked at Yan Ping and Fang Ji, and couldn't help but gasp, saving one person from the army of hundreds of thousands, this matter can be described as difficult to achieve.
Yan Ping arched his hand and said: "The lord also knows that this matter is difficult, but he has to do it. The Kwantung rebels rose up and wanted to re-honor King Hongnong as the son of heaven of the Han Dynasty. And Dong Zhuo, in order to combat the momentum of the rebels from all walks of life, will definitely kill King Hongnong. The lord said that King Hongnong is both the eldest son and the son-in-law, and is the most orthodox emperor of the Han Dynasty. ”
Fang Ji said: "The lord also said that if we can rescue King Hongnong, re-respect him as the Son of Heaven, and serve the Son of Heaven to order not to obey and to punish evil with righteousness, we will be invincible. After the deed is completed, the matter of waiting is also idle. I also hope that Yang Jun will be reluctant. ”
Yang Li summoned the two of them close and chanted: "King Hongnong is secluded in the Yong'an Palace, this palace is in the southeast of the North Palace, there is the Gao'an Pavilion in the west of the East Gate, and the north of the Gao'an Pavilion is the Yong'an Palace. The circumference of the palace is 698 zhang, and there are palaces such as Jingfu, Anchang, Yanxiu and other palaces in the palace, as well as Houtai and gardens. The north of the palace is Yongheli. ”
Yang Li said as he wrote on the table with wine, and said: "There are only five hundred soldiers around Yong'an Palace. However, there is my royal master and senior brother Shi A in the palace to protect King Hongnong, and it is not difficult to rescue him from Yong'an Palace. The difficulty is in the north of the avenue from the east gate of the North Palace to the east gate of the city, from west to east, there are arsenals and Taicang, which are the royal military warehouses and the imperial grain warehouses that supply the court, and these two places are guarded by Dong Zhuo's 6,000 soldiers. ”
"If there is a police in Yong'an Palace, then we will not only face hundreds of soldiers, but six thousand. And if you want to leave the city, when you go out of the north gate closely, there are 5,000 troops of the northern army guarding the north gate, adding up to more than 10,000 soldiers. Not to mention that there are still countless Xiliangqiang riding outside the city. Although I have gathered hundreds of light warriors in Luoyang City, and everyone is not afraid of death, when facing these more than 10,000 soldiers, there are still too few and too few. ”
Fang Ji said with a smile: "I heard that Yang Jun's swordsmanship is extremely high, but he doesn't quite understand my light man's style, I don't like to be weak and strong, but like to win with chaos." ”
Yang Li stared, looked at Fang Ji and asked, "Do you have any good suggestions?" ”
Fang Ji said: "The city of Luoyang is big, and there are many people, especially the powerful, and there are so many of them. Yang Jun has hundreds of light warriors under his command, but they cannot be used as a large army, they can be divided into hundreds, just hope that the mansions of the powerful and rich in each region will set fire to cause their turmoil. It would also be easier to retreat like this. Dong Zhuo doesn't know the reason, he will think that there is a rebel party in the city who opposes him. Yuan, in particular, is definitely the first person to take precautions. ”
"I heard that the army in the city was only 30,000 to 40,000 people, and Dong Zhuo wanted to quell the rebellion, so he would not transfer troops and horses indiscriminately, but would only distribute soldiers and horses in various key points, and then recruit Qiang soldiers into the city from outside the city. And the arsenal and Taicang are definitely the top priorities of the guards, and the six thousand soldiers here will definitely not dare to leave lightly. As long as we do not fight with the five hundred soldiers guarding it, but do it quietly, we will not disturb the army to suppress it. ”
"Clever plan." Yang Li clapped his hands and shouted, "What about after leaving Yong'an Palace?" ”
Fang Ji smiled proudly, what he did this time was definitely what he was good at. After rescuing Queen Hongnong, he will definitely make a great contribution to Zhaolinghou. After this time, there is no longer any need to be accused of summoning the Marquis to take pity on the deceased.
Fang Ji said with a smile: "Going straight to the city gate is the work of a fool. You must know that every city has a sewer. If you want to get out of town, sewers are definitely the best place. ”
I didn't want Yang Li to listen to it, but said unhappily: "Besides, isn't there any other way?" Not to mention that the weather is cold, King Hongnong is delicate and expensive, and after all, he was the son of heaven of the Han Dynasty, how can he escape from the dirt. If it is known to others, who in the world still recognizes him as the lord of the world? ”
Yan Ping smiled slightly, stared at Yang Li and said: "In the past, Emperor Taizu Gao also abandoned his children and daughters in order to escape for his life, and his father and wife all fell into the hands of the enemy. There is also a matter of eating meat soup. But since he became the emperor, who dares to say it, who dares to mention it? Since King Hongnong is Emperor Gao, what does it matter if he is forced to do it. Or is this something Yang Jun that you are unhappy about? ”
In the middle of the night, a sudden fire broke out in the city of Luoyang, and the sound of rebellion also sounded one after another, the whole city shouted soldiers and horses, and the people were terrified. Dong Zhuo was shocked, and urgently ordered the soldiers and horses in the city to guard the main roads, and those who dared to run around were killed. He also ordered Hu Zhen, Yang Ding, Duan Xuan, and Xu Rong to go out of the city overnight to transfer Qiang troops into the city, and then ordered Lu Bu to lead 3,000 flying bear troops to Taifu's mansion with him.
When he saw Yuan Kui who was calm and relaxed in the Taifu Mansion, he suddenly became suspicious, and he didn't know who the rebel was. Soon, Li Ru and Liang Rou hurried over and shouted: "This must be the Kwantung rebels who want to save King Hongnong, please Xiangguo quickly kill King Hongnong." ”
Yuan Kui's right hand shook as soon as he stroked his beard, and then he was as if nothing had happened. Dong Zhuo immediately shouted: "Li Ru, quickly lead ten warriors and go to Yong'an Palace to kill King Hongnong." ”
Liang Rou shouted, "I'll go with me." The two left in a hurry, but unexpectedly, the Yong'an Palace was already empty.
Li Ru sighed loudly, but Liang Rou shouted loudly: "The guards will report to Xiangguo every evening about Liu Yan's movements, and it has only been two hours, and they can't run far." Quickly searched the Yongheli in the north of the palace, the north city gate, and the vicinity of the north gate. ”
Li Ru suddenly woke up when he heard this, panicked and ordered the arsenal and Taicang to search near Yongheli, and made Liang Rou sit at the north city gate, and then let people go out of the city and ordered Duan Xuan's army stationed in Beicheng not to enter the city for the time being, but to search outside the north city, and kill everyone who saw Queen Hongnong on the spot.
Wang Yue, Shi A, Zhu Gongdao, Yang Li, Yan Ping, and Fang Ji, a total of six people, wearing water made of different fish skins, drilled out of the sewage channel in Luoyang City, greedily breathed a few breaths of cold air, and opened a large wooden box, revealing the King of Hongnong in it.
Wang Yue asked anxiously, "Is Your Majesty okay?" ”
Hongnong Wang Liu Bian shook his head, the wooden box was very safe, but he was a little depressed, and his face was pale. The seven of them got out of the waterway and walked all the way along the upper reaches of Luoshui, intending to turn to the southwest to bypass Luoyang City, and then go due south.
However, after traveling less than ten miles, hundreds of cavalry suddenly chased after them, and the seven people were shocked when they saw that the person led by Dong Zhuo was Duan Xuan, the general in Dong Zhuo's hands. Wang Yue drew the five-foot heavy sword in his hand and shouted, "You escort Your Majesty to go first, and I will break it later." ”
Shi Ali shouted: "Senior Brother Yang, you go first, and I will accompany the master to break off." ”
Zhu Gongdao also stepped forward and shouted, "And me." ”
After Yang Li heard this, tears suddenly rained down, the way of the swordsman, although he is capable of fighting hundreds of people, but how can he be able to defeat hundreds of horses, and after the three of them are broken, he will not be lucky. If you have the heart, you have to stay with the teacher, but it is inconvenient to ignore King Hongnong. I had to be ruthless, and I left with a sad call.
Wang Yue was relieved to see the two beloved apprentices standing on the left and right, and exclaimed: "Shi'a, you have to be the true inheritance of the teacher, and you still have the responsibility of inheriting the mantle for the teacher. You go first. ”
Shi A had no choice but to bow three times and leave crying. Wang Yue and Zhu Gongdao shouted, raised their swords and strode towards Duan Xuan and the others. Duan Xuan, the enemy general who didn't want to approach, suddenly stabbed towards the north and shouted: "King Hongnong is in the north, go and chase quickly." ”
The men and horses of the brigade immediately turned due north, and the dust splashed by the hooves of hundreds of horses suddenly submerged the master and apprentice, and after a while, only the two masters and apprentices who looked at each other below remained, and there were more than a dozen Xiliang good horses.
Wang Yue sighed and said, "Don't you want Dong Zhuo to have people in the army who have the Han family in mind?" ”
Zhu Gongdao said with a smile: "In the 600 years of the Han Dynasty, there are no loyal people. Master, I can survive. ”
Wang Yue nodded, stepped forward and flew over the Liangliang horse in the west, and drove the horse with Zhu Gongdao to chase after King Hongnong and the others. A group of seven people rushed to the south overnight, and there was no danger along the way. After the fifth day, he successfully rendezvoused with the Yuhua Department that was responding outside, and turned to Runan.
Han Yi followed the Hongnong King Liu Bian in Pingyu City, and was overjoyed to invite the Hongnong King to regain the throne, so he built the capital in Pingyu County, and called on the righteous people from all over the world to gather in Runan to discuss Dong Zhuo. I don't want King Hongnong to disagree, I don't want to be afraid of Emperor Han anymore, I just want to be an ordinary Han people.
Han Yi's repeated persuasion was useless, and he remembered the old feelings of the Queen Mother He Zhen, so he had to let King Hongnong wander to Yangzhou with Wang Yue and Zhu Gongdao. Han Yi was afraid that King Hongnong was in danger, so he had to send his generals Wei Yue and Cheng Lian to escort him with hundreds of horses.
