Volume 2 The Yellow Turban Rebellion Chapter 42 Liu Hong is seriously ill
"What? Your Majesty personally enlisted? Cao Cao was drinking tea leisurely, and Xiang Ao had not many poems in his hand, but he was so shocked by such news that the tea was spilled.
"Brother, that's good!" Xiahou Yuan replied while wiping the tea on Cao Cao's body.
"No one in the DPRK and China objected?"
"The ministers of all sides are against it, but Your Majesty has no choice."
"Brother is very worried?" He poured Cao Cao tea again and asked, "If my brother is too worried, we can recruit soldiers and horses to go to Hedong to help, after all, Dongjun is not too far from Hedong." ”
"No!" Cao Cao pondered for a moment and said: "Our aid must pass through Henan, if we are mistaken for a rebel, it will affect our people!" ”
When Xiahou Yuan heard this, he also frowned and nodded.
"I hope Your Majesty's trip is safe!" Cao Cao said softly, I don't know whether to tell Xiahou Yuan or himself.
Runan Yuan Mansion.
"Lord, this is a good time, are we—" The man in black said, slitting his throat with one hand.
"It's just a return to the light, and the peace of mind is that there is no need to increase the trouble!" Yuan Shao paused slightly when he heard this, and then said indifferently, as if he didn't care much.
"No!"
"Can you contact Dong Zhuo?"
"Back to the Lord, Dong Zhuo doesn't know the current affairs and doesn't plan to conspire!" The man in black replied: "The servant is ready to arrange for someone to assassinate him, the lord can rest assured, it will not be leaked!" ”
"Hehe, no!" Yuan Shao smiled a little grimly: "I didn't plan to cooperate with the reckless man, as long as I let him know!" ”
"No!"
Hehe, I don't want Dong Zhuo to be ambitious! But what about being ambitious? My Yuan family is comparable to ordinary families? Don't break your bones! Yuan Shao took a sip of tea and smiled gloomily.
Ay! At this time, at the residence of Xiangyang Pang Degong, the young man looked at the sky and sighed secretly. This person is Guo Jia, who visited Xiang Ao back then, and after learning the news from all sides, Guo Jia was shocked, and it was a big game of chess. At the same time, he was frightened, and his doubts about Xiang Ao's remarks that day became more and more unclear.
Obviously, it was a clear sky in early summer, but for some reason, Guo Jia always felt that the surroundings were silent, so silent that it was annoying, and it was so silent that it made people tremble.
"Brother Fengxiao, why are you sighing?" When Guo Jia heard this, he turned around and picked up the oncoming boy and said, "No, it's just boring." Ah Liang finished his studies today? ”
"Yes, yes, today's learned ancestor Chuanghan! Gao Zu is so born! ”
"That's nature!" Guo Jia chuckled, put down the child, and took the child's little hand to look at the Pound Mansion and walked. Zhuge Liang, Zhuge Liang, there is one more demon in the world, isn't it enough to have a hussar general, but also a Zhuge Liang, how can we live as so-called talents? Thinking of this, Guo Jia smiled bitterly in his heart.
After Guo Jia left, he walked up from the bottom of the hill to a young man, about ten years old. The young man was dressed in brocade, which was much more luxurious than Guo Jia's. The young man's appearance is extremely ordinary, and his eyebrows are even more reckless. The young man's surname is Pang, his name is Tong, Pang Degong is his father, and he is deeply loved by Pang Degong. Pang Tong was a little reckless, and rarely communicated with the children of major families, so he studied under his father Pang Degong with peace of mind.
"Lu Qing, where is the front?"
"It's past the summer sun, and I'm about to arrive at the land of the Pi clan!"
"When can I go ashore?" Liu Hong asked a little anxiously in his heart, there were more than ten days of waterways, and Liu Hong was very bored.
"When you arrive at Pi's, you will land and reach the front line, and Baibo will have troops stationed in Jiting to confront Pi's and Gengxiang's imperial court army!"
"Oh?!" When Liu Hong heard this, he instantly said energetically: "Very good, after landing on the shore, you can make a little repair, and you can join forces in Gengxiang and conquer Baibo!" ”
"No!" Lu Zhi responded to the order, and the two sides of the strait continued to scout back and forth to explore the way. Lu Zhi has not closed his eyes for more than ten days, and stays by Liu Hong's side all day long.
It was no joke to drive the expedition in person, and when the Bai Bo army heard the news that Liu Hong had arrived at the Pi generation, there was a commotion in the army. Especially the rebellious people who were still a little afraid of the remnants of the Han court, they were even more frightened all day long, and they didn't know if the Bai Bo army could stop Liu Hong's soldiers.
"Qu Shuai, the spies are here to report, Liu Hong has led the troops to the area of the Pi family!"
"Oh?!" When Mrs. Guo heard this, she came to the map set up in the palace to take a closer look.
"Does General Yang Feng have a reply?"
"Shuai Qu, General Yang Feng replied that he would not retreat!"
"Quickly send the scout to pass on the commander's military order!" Mrs. Guo said solemnly: "Inform General Yang Feng that Liu Hong's visit to the front line will definitely make the hearts of the officers and soldiers excited, and our army should not have a hard encounter with the officers and soldiers." Ordered General Yang Feng to set up troops in Jiting, Linfen, Jianyi, and Jicheng to defend each other, and set up heavy troops in the front section of Baibo Valley, and layer upon layer of trap defense, don't let the official army break through Baibo Valley and march into Yong'an! ”
"No!"
"Wait!"
"Qu Shuai!"
"Inform General Yang Feng that Jiting, Jicheng and other cities don't have to be defended, but don't lose Baibogu to Ben Shuai!"
"No!"
"Your Majesty, General Yuzhonglang! The White Wave fortifications seem to have changed! ”
"Oh?! How does it change? Liu Hong came to the map in the middle tent and asked.
"Bai Bo is a heavy garrison in Jiting and surrendering! It was only discovered early this morning that the Baibo army had withdrawn a large number of soldiers and horses from Jiting and Jinyi, and turned around to the Baibo Valley after Linfen, and then its whereabouts were unknown! ”
When Liu Hong heard this, he frowned and looked at the map. Lu Zhi was even more pondering on the side, thinking about why Bai Bo was so mobilized!
"What does Lu Qing think?" Liu Hong looked at it for a long time, but he really didn't understand why, so he had to ask Lu Zhi beside him.
"Your Majesty, when the minister first came, he still didn't know much about the Baibo operation, so he had to ask the general who supervised the battle before!"
"Who is the Warlord?"
"Your Majesty, it is Hedong Taishou Han Chun!"
"Hurry up!"
"No!"
"Chen Han Chun, please see Your Majesty!"
"Han Qing is exempt!" Liu Hong raised his hand with one hand and said: "The war in Hedong is hard!" ”
"Serve Your Majesty, and fulfill the duty of loyalty to the Great Han!" Han Chunzuo bowed deeply and said sonorously.
"My great man is like Han Qing's humerus, and it will not fade!" Liu Hong praised shallowly, and then said: "The spies just reported, why did the Baibo fortifications change suddenly today? ”
"Your Majesty!" Han Chun saluted again and said, "Bai Bo was extremely arrogant when he was fierce against the heavenly soldiers of the imperial court before. Now that His Majesty is coming in person, the minister thinks that the Bai Bo army must be afraid of His Majesty's majesty, so he retreated! ”
Liu Hong frowned when he heard this, and thought that he was still afraid of my majesty after rebelling? ? Liu Hong had no choice but to look at Lu Zhi, after all, Lu Zhi was more proficient in the affairs of the soldiers.
"What Han Taishou said may be true!" Lu Zhi pondered for a long time before responding: "Your Majesty and the majesty of the Han will definitely be able to strengthen the hearts of our army." It seems that the thief army wants to avoid the edge of our army for the time being, and then slowly try to figure it out. ”
"Haha..."Liu Hong laughed when he heard this: "The Bai Bo Army is no more than Erer!" Han Qing, you can give the order and send the whole army! ”
Han Chun looked at the proud Liu Hong, and smiled bitterly in his heart: I hope Your Majesty will not command indiscriminately and affect the three armies. After that, he squinted at Lu Zhi and asked what he meant. Seeing that Lu Zhi also nodded in agreement, he took the order and left.
As Lu Zhi expected, there were less than 1,000 defenders in Jiting, Jianyi, and Jicheng, and all the people, grain, grass, and money in the city were plundered by the Baibo army. In less than five days, they took three places, and the heavy troops were stationed in the surrender and confronted each other again in Linfen.
Such a momentum was even boasted by Liu Hong, and the edict was spread to the world. Perhaps the majesty of the Han Dynasty is still there, and after Liu Hong's victory spread to all the states in the world, not only the momentum of the Yellow Turban Army of Gepi in Runan County was suppressed by the county soldiers, but even the Yizhou thieves Ma Xiang and Zhao Yi who rebelled in May were also engaged in the Yizhou Assassin Shi Jia Long led the officials to attack equally, and they were broken away in a few days, and the state border was quiet.
The good news was sent to Liu Hongjun's account in Hedong, which made Liu Honglong's face happy, and he chose Liu Yan as the pastor of Yizhou, migrated to Mianzhu, soothed the rebellion, and was lenient in order to win people's hearts. Even Zhang Chun and Wu Huan, who were still in turmoil in Youzhou and Liaoxi, were a lot more low-key, and even Xiang Aojun, who was resisting the invasion of Xianbei in the north, instantly felt that the defensive pressure was much less.
However, the ancestor Zeng Yun: happiness gives birth to sorrow!
After Liu Hong received good news from all over the country, he fell ill and was bedridden within two days of joy, which frightened Lu Zhi's liver and gallbladder.
"Han Taishou, immediately block the news, and arrange for soldiers and horses to secretly escort His Majesty back to Beijing for treatment!" Since Lu Zhi got the news, he has never sweated in a cold sweat, and he is afraid that the news will be leaked. And the large battalion of the officers and soldiers stationed in the sublime city suddenly increased their defense as if they were facing a great enemy. Although Mrs. Guo and the others don't know why, they can also guess that something big must have happened in the official army.
"No! The next official immediately went to arrange it! Han Chun was also frightened, returned to Lu Zhi tremblingly, turned around and rushed out of the tent. If Liu Hong dies in the army, he will probably be connected to the nine clans by the Han family.
That night, without the knowledge of the officers, soldiers, and soldiers, Lu Zhi set off overnight with hundreds of guards to escort Liu Hong back to Luoyang. Perhaps the incident happened suddenly, no one knew that Liu Hong was seriously ill and had secretly returned to Beijing, and Lu Zhi and his party arrived in Luoyang very quickly and safely.
After Liu Hong returned to Weiyang Palace safely, Luoyang was even more chaotic. The guards were under martial law, the imperial city was curfew, and in an instant, the sky over Luoyang City was filled with a strong smell of blood. And Lu Zhi also knew that it was difficult to escape the responsibility this time, and when Liu Hong never woke up, he kept kneeling outside the Weiyang Palace and waiting. The first is to wait for Liu Hong to wake up and be safe and sound, and the second is to act in the hope that he can reduce his guilt and not affect his family.
And Liu Hong's biological mother, Empress Dowager Dong, who came to hear the news, was furious, directly questioned Lu Zhi, and put Lu Zhi in prison pending trial. Although his heart was bitter, Lu Zhi did not defend himself, and he was imprisoned. After hearing the news, no one dared to intercede for him at this time, so he had to pray that Liu Hong was safe and sound.
In less than a month when Liu Hong was in a coma, he secretly began to compete for the successor to the throne outside the court, making Luoyang like a black cloud all day long, and no one could see the light. In particular, the struggle between his cousin He Jin and the eunuch Zhang Rang was even more bloody.
Emperor Liu Hong of the Han Dynasty had two surviving sons, one was the prince Liu Bian and the other was the prince Liu Xie. The prince's biological mother is the son of the current empress He and Liu Hong, and the nephew of the general He Jin. Liu Xie's biological mother was Queen Wang Rong of Linghuai, and after giving birth to the prince Liu Xie, Empress He was very jealous of this, so she sent someone to poison Wang Rong with poisonous wine. Empress Dowager Dong took pity on her and adopted Liu Xie for Dong Hou.
