Chapter 690: The Son of Heaven Flees East
The morning sun is rising, and the morning sun is shining on the earth,
On the road north of Yanshi City, the chariots and horses Xiaoxiao, a team of thousands of people rushed eastward.
Among them was Liu Xie's chariot, Cao Chun on the left and right with hundreds of cavalry to follow closely to escort, and Cao Hong and Ren Jun with thousands of foot soldiers in front and behind opened the road and broke the rear.
Liu Xie sat in the carriage, he was wrapped by Cao Cao's soldiers and horses and escaped from the imperial city last night, and he was exhausted after traveling dozens of miles in one night.
Looking at the pale Dong Guiren and Song Guiren on the carriage behind, and then Liu Yu, Yang Biao and other ministers, but there were more than a dozen people, and there were no family members, and the entire court brought out such ministers, and the three princes and nine secretaries were not complete, can this still be regarded as the imperial court?
Liu Xie closed his eyes and wanted to cry without tears.
I was thinking about a plan very much, but it ended up like this, everything went back to four years ago, and it was even worse than four years ago, so why bother.
Everything in front of him made Liu Xie can't help but think about the situation when he fled from Chang'an City to Luoyang in the third year of the first peace, the situation when Zhang Liao rescued him and the ministers when he was in danger, the situation when Zhang Liao took him to visit the counties and wander the farmer's fields in Hedong, and the situation when the imperial court was quickly established after returning to Luoyang, and a wave of regret suddenly surged in his heart.
If he gets along with Zhang Liaojun, what will happen? Zhang Liao shouldn't be as domineering and dictatorial or even usurper as Dong Zhuo and Cao Cao, right? No, Zhang Liao doesn't seem to be the kind of person who is greedy for power...... If I could have another chance, I would never be so eager to seize power, I could wait......
Liu Xie's mind was full of thoughts and mixed feelings, but unfortunately everything couldn't go back, he, the son of heaven, was now in the hands of Cao Cao, and life and death could not be autonomous.
Cao Chun, who was guarding next to Liu Xie's carriage, also had no joy on his face, although they took out the Son of Heaven from Luoyang, but last night's soldiers and horses suffered extremely heavy losses, and the various divisions were separated in the night battle.
As for Liu Bei and Yu Poison, they were separated last night, and they don't know where they went.
Passing by Yanshi County in front of them, but the sound of fighting came from far behind, so they didn't even dare to enter Yanshi City, so they could only go around the city.
The car did not stop all the way, in the middle of the morning, Cao Chun sent dry food to Liu Xie and more than a dozen ministers, but it was two people and two baked cakes, Liu Xie was already hungry and dizzy, and he insisted on maintaining the etiquette to chew the baked cakes, only to feel that it was extremely delicious, and suddenly thought that this baked cake was invented by Zhang Liao, and for a while his heart was even more mixed.
The team was cautious all the way, but no more rioters appeared.
At noon, when he arrived in Gongxian County, he had just passed around the city, and suddenly killed a group of soldiers and horses from the south, about five or six thousand people, Liu Xie couldn't help but be surprised, he thought it was Zhang Liao's old department or the chaotic people who were killed, and he didn't want to hear a voice shouting from afar: "General Guiyi came to the rescue with poison!" ”
Liu Xie couldn't help but be overjoyed, as soon as he straightened up, he saw nearly a hundred Cao soldiers protecting the car driving group, which made him immediately aware of his situation, a shout swallowed in his throat, and the joy on his face also converged, he didn't know how loyal Yu Poison was in this situation at this time, whether it was to save the car or hijack the car?
The battle unfolded rapidly, the two sides fought, in the middle of the poisonous soldiers and horses interception team, tactically occupied, and Yu poison led the Montenegrin army for many years, good at guerrillas, and the offensive was extremely fierce.
But the army sent by Cao Cao to escort is absolutely elite, whether it is Cao Hong and Ren Jun before and after, Cao Chun is the most elite tiger and leopard cavalry under Cao Cao, although there are only 800 horsemen at the moment, but they are extremely strong.
The fight between the two sides was extremely fierce, at first Cao Chun had to hold the car, the tiger and leopard riding combat effectiveness could not be shown, Yu Poison almost once rushed to the front of the car, and then Cao Hong and Ren Jun came to answer, Cao Chun's tiger and leopard rode away and began to charge.
Several times to charge down, Yu poison's soldiers and horses suffered heavy losses, Yu poison saw that the situation was not good, and retreated, at this moment, from the oblique and rushed out of a group of men and horses, the first person was burly, holding a spear, holding a fast horse, and yelled: "Yan Zhang Yide is here, Cao Cao will quickly come to die!" ”
It was Zhang Fei, the captain of Sili, who came.
He was followed by Liu Bei, the general of Wei, and Guan Yu, the general of Hu Ben Zhonglang.
Yu Poison was overjoyed when he saw this, and shouted to Liu Bei: "General Liu came just in time, hurry up and punish Cao thief with a certain Dao and protect the Son of Heaven!"
Guan Yu and Zhang Fei had been resentful of Cao Cao for a long time, and they didn't use it to poison them, so they led their soldiers and horses into the battlefield and killed Cao's army.
Liu Bei reined in his horse, his eyes swept over the battlefield, and he saw from afar that the Son of Heaven and Liu Yu, Yang Biao and other ministers were held hostage by Cao Jun, but he didn't see Cao Cao near on the left, and knew that it was a good opportunity, so he didn't stop Guan Zhang from making a move.
Guan and Zhang also had hundreds of cavalry, and as soon as they joined the battlefield, Cao Chun's tiger and leopard cavalry struggled.
Yu Yu took the opportunity to lead people to Liu Xie's car.
At the same time, Liu Bei also rushed to the car and shouted: "Liu Bei is here to escort the car!" ”
Cao Hong and Ren Jun each stood on one side and resisted desperately.
The three-way battle, the scene was even more chaotic, the arrows flew wildly, and two ministers were directly shot to death by the stray arrows, and the two nobles trembled.
The joy in Liu Xie's heart had long since disappeared, and he knelt on the car and shouted: "All the secretaries live in battle!" ”
Yang Biao's face turned pale, and he shouted: "You dare to use troops in front of the Son of Heaven's car!" ”
Liu Yu also shouted: "Xuande, General Yu, the right and truce, protect the Son of Heaven!" ”
But at this time, the scene was chaotic, roars, screams, and blade clashes rang out, and the cries of the three people were completely drowned out, not to mention the crazy fighting of the three parties, even if they heard it, it was difficult to stop.
The Son of Heaven is a fragrant bait, no matter Cao Chun, Liu Bei or Yu Poison, he will not give up, more than 10,000 people from the three parties fought together, each with casualties, and each did not retreat.
Zhang Fei and Guan Yu knew that Cao Cao was not here, so they set their eyes on Cao Chun's tiger and leopard riders, and knew that it was Cao Cao's elite, so they fought and vowed to cut off one of Cao Cao's arms.
Cao Chun and Zhang Fei exchanged two moves, but they couldn't resist it, so they hid in the tiger and leopard cavalry and commanded the cavalry to charge.
Yu Poison and Cao Hong were killed, and the battlefield was getting closer and closer.
"General Guiyi ......"
Taifu Liu Yu pushed away the two Cao soldiers in front of him, took two steps forward, wanted to persuade the battle, didn't want a stray arrow to fly, and directly inserted it into his heart, Liu Yu's body stiffened, the blood quickly spread from his chest, and the two Cao soldiers hurriedly supported him.
"Taifu!" Liu Bei, who was killing over, saw Liu Yu hit the arrow, couldn't help but change color, exclaimed, and hurriedly stepped forward to check.
When Yang Biao also found out that Liu Yu was injured and hurried over, Liu Yu's eyes were already dilated, and Yang Biao was so angry that he shouted: "Who shot Liu Gong with arrows!" ”
"Wen Xian......" Liu Yu shook his head, panting weakly: "Wrong...... It was time to stop Your Majesty in the first place...... The great general's merit is in the community...... The fault of the two of us...... Regret...... Shame on the emperor...... Thou ......"
Before he finished speaking, blood poured out of his mouth, and a generation of famous ministers passed away.
"Taifu!" Yang Biao cried bitterly, and angrily carried Liu Bei's clothes: "It's all your fault!" ”
Liu Bei didn't argue, his expression was gloomy.
Yang Biao cried again: "I am also wrong!" ”
On the top of the car, Liu Xie saw that Liu Yu was killed by an arrow, tears fell like rain, and he was about to get out of the car immediately, but he didn't want to be at this moment, and there was a shout of killing from behind.
Liu Xie couldn't help but look up, only to see tens of thousands of people rushing over in the rear, and several banners with "Cao" and "Xiahou" written on them were displayed, and it was Cao Cao who came with troops after the break.
The first to open the way was Xiahou Yuan, who saw Yu Poison and Liu Bei's soldiers and horses attacking Cao Chun and Cao Hong from a distance, rushed to the front, and joined the battlefield without saying a word.
Cao Cao didn't expect Yu Poison and Liu Bei to come to seize the Son of Heaven, his own soldiers and horses suffered a lot of losses, and he was furious in his heart, but he didn't stop it, and the battle became more intense.
Soon, Cao Cao retreated from the poison, rushed to the front of the car, just saw Liu Yu dead, frowned, and saw Liu Bei also there, and couldn't help but show murderous intentions: "Why did Xuande attack the car driver and kill my soldiers?" ”
At this time, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei also rushed over, and the two of them couldn't care about chasing Cao Chun anymore, so they rushed over to protect Liu Bei's side, murderous.
Yang Biao said sharply: "Cao Mengde, Liu Xuande, Yu Poison, Taifu has been harmed by you and others, the safety of the Son of Heaven is in danger, and the army is not ready to stop immediately!" ”
Liu Bei looked at Cao Cao, Cao Cao's face sank like water, and his heart was boiling with murderous intent, but he had to say: "The enemy soldiers are still chasing behind him, but they can quickly make a truce and protect the eastward movement of the Son of Heaven." ”
When everyone heard Cao Cao say that the chasing soldiers were behind, they all looked back, and sure enough, Cao Cao left a lot of soldiers and horses behind, and the black pressure of the soldiers and horses could be seen in the rear, and the rumbling horses' hooves could be heard.
Liu Bei no longer hesitated, and quickly Mingjin, at the same time, Yu Poison also Mingjin withdrew his troops, the three parties truce, and they didn't care about cleaning up the corpse, and the car drove quickly again.
From beginning to end, Liu Xie, the son of heaven, did not have the slightest right to speak.
Chasing after Xu Rong's cavalry, Xu Rong's cavalry is mainly from Liangzhou, quite murderous, Xu Rong has a grudge against Cao Cao, and Liu Guanzhang has never been masked, not at all to talk about any friendship, even the Son of Heaven and Yang Biao's dissuasion is not paid attention to, in his opinion, the Son of Heaven, Yang Biao and Cao Cao, Liu Bei are all enemies who murdered the general.
This is also the cleverness of Jia Xu and Li Ru, so that Xu Rong will pursue, and he will not have scruples about the Son of Heaven and courtiers like other generals, only rush to kill and take revenge.
The speed of the cavalry is far from being comparable to the foot soldiers, on the next way, the battle almost did not stop for a moment, Cao Cao, Liu Bei, Yu Poison's soldiers and horses blocked together, Le Jin, Yu Ban, Li Dian, Xiahou Yuan, Xiahou Yuan, Guan Yu, Zhang Fei generals took turns to block, but the soldiers and horses were not enough, Xu Rong's cavalry advanced like fire, guarding like an iron bucket, so that they were tired of coping.
Liu Xie's car was like flying, so he had to hold on to the car tightly, otherwise he was likely to be turned upside down.
Suddenly, from behind, Dong Guiren exclaimed: "Your Majesty! Yes! ”
Liu Xie turned around, but only saw that Dong Guiren was thrown out of the carriage upside down, and was quickly overwhelmed by the people and horses behind.
Liu Xie's heart tightened, he straightened up from the carriage and hissed, "General Cao! General Cao! Stop and save Dong Guiren! ”
Cao Cao, who was riding on the horse, glanced back and knew that Dong Guiren was helpless, so he said expressionlessly: "The enemy soldiers are behind, and Your Majesty is in Sheji, how can you mislead the country because of a woman." ”
Liu Xie was stunned and sat down in the carriage, he also knew that Dong Guiren was afraid that he would be hopeless, and his heart was sad and desperate, and he felt unprecedented remorse.
The car drove all the way east, and after a while, Song Guiren was gone, and Liu Xie was already numb at this time, and he sat in the carriage, as if he had lost his soul.
After nightfall, Xu Rong's cavalry stopped the pursuit, and the chariot had already entered Chenggao County.
The night did not stop, the second morning, the car drove out of the turnstile gate, into Xingyang County, so far, the car driving can be regarded as slowing down.
The morning sun shone on the tall revolving door and closed, and the car drove through the valley.
Liu Xiemu looked back at the revolving door that was gradually moving away, and his heart was already overwhelmed by unprecedented regret.
In the midst of a limp, Liu Xie's mind suddenly echoed the "Eastern Expedition Fu" he read when he was a child, which was the expression of a generation of talented women Ban Zhao when she left Luoyang and traveled east to Chenliu:
Looking at the exchange of Heluo, it is seen as the revolving door of Gao. It is not only free from the solemnity, but also through the Xingyang and the martial arts. Shiyuan Wu is full of rest, and Suyang Wu is in the mulberry room. Wading through the mound and practicing the road, Mu Jingshi sighed.
……
The rich and the poor should not be sought. Walk on the road in order to be in time. The luck of repairing the short, the foolish and the wise. Jing Gong is commissioned, but only auspicious and fierce.
