Chapter 654: Capture the Hypocrite and Enter Luoyang
In the west of Luoyang, the smoke and dust were billowing out, and a cavalry rushed to the scene, so that the people who were outside the city of Luoyang at this time, and the people who could not enter the city looked sideways, secretly thinking that in addition to the chaos in the city, there would also be chaos outside the city?
That cavalry was not someone else's troops, so it naturally gave up the infantry and took the initiative to take the more than 3,000 cavalry equipped with stirrups and horseshoes under Huang Zhong's command, and the cavalry of Fuquan in Luoyang.
Seeing that many of the people in the vicinity were dragging their families and mouths, as if they were about to flee, Fu Quan suddenly felt that something was wrong, and hurriedly sent people to inquire about the people, and soon got the general situation.
Yuan Shao: Do they want to play this trick? Fu Quan thought secretly in his heart, he didn't expect that Zhou Bo and Chen Ping would kill Zhu Lu and kill the sons of the Young Emperor again.
However, it is normal to think about it, it is not a matter of a day or two for the party members to change the Son of Heaven that they can control, after all, not to mention the suicide of Wang Fen, who was pretended to be stupid and stunned by the party members in the world last year, is in real history, after Dong Zhuo entered Beijing, Yuan Shao and they couldn't deal with Dong Zhuo for a while, didn't they also want to directly change Liu Yu as the emperor? If Liu Yu hadn't known that this was a pit and resisted his impulse and didn't jump, otherwise the history of the late Han Dynasty would have changed again.
"General, what is it now? Since the ancestor Guangwu Emperor moved the capital, it has been expanded repeatedly, there are several strong cities in the world, and now the city gates are closed, even if we have the heart to protect the car, but they are all cavalry, how to break the city into the palace to save the car? Huang Zhong looked at the Luoyang City that had already entered the sight in the distance, and said worriedly, they even hurried slowly, but they couldn't save the car because they couldn't enter the city, it really hurt morale, he didn't believe it, even if Fuquan was so capable, he could use these thousands of cavalry to break through the fortified city of Luoyang.
Hearing this, Fu Quan did not speak, because he himself agreed with Huang Zhong's words, after Emperor Guangwu restored the country, because Chang'an was broken, he moved the capital to Luoyang. Luoyang, as an ancient city with a long history, is named "Luoyang" because it is located in the north of Luoshui, and the north of the water is Yang, and because it is located in the world, it is a famous city as early as the Western Zhou Dynasty. After Zhou, Warring States, Qin, the former Han, the new dynasty, the six generations of the dynasty and not decay, and the successive dynasties have repaired and expanded it, and the Han Dynasty inherited the former Han Dynasty Zuo, rather than replacing the mandate of heaven, so after the capital Luoyang, the word "Luo" was changed to the word "ι", and it was renamed "Luoyang".
And the construction of the capital of Luoyang, because of the influence of "most of the cities without cities", so the city of Luoyang only has the inner city, no outer Guo, although so, it seems that it will not be like the general city, the siege is hard, but don't forget the moat outside the city.
That moat was in the early years of this dynasty, and the water was diverted around the city of Luoyang, and a yang canal was built from west to east from the foot of the Beibi Mountain. The Yang Canal is not only the moat of Luoyang, but also solves the water supply in the city of Luoyang, receives the valley and the second water outside, irrigates the Yiluo Plain, and re-injects the water into the Yanshi to pass the water, which communicates the transportation of the big river and the water.
Now, Yuan Shao and others have closed the gate of Luoyang, and then there is a Yang Canal to protect the periphery of Luoyang, and the cavalry under Fuquan is not much, and there are not too many siege equipment, so it is difficult to attack the city.
There is no place inside the city, it seems that there is only outside the city...... This thought flashed in Fu Quan's mind, and soon, he thought of something, clapped his hands and said: "Yuan Benchu, how shrewd Ren Er is, he finally missed a move!" β
This deception immediately attracted Huang Zhong's attention, and when he saw Fu Quan's excited expression, he said cautiously: "General, but you have found something?" β
Fu Quan didn't talk nonsense with Huang Zhong, and pointed to the south of Luoyang City: "Order, the whole army will make a detour and go to Taimiao!" β
Huang Zhong was surprised: "Taimiao? β
"Hmmm! Remember, don't go near Luoyang City, so that the soldiers in the city are alert! β
"No!"
After saluting in response, Huang Zhong rode his horse and gave orders to his soldiers, and soon, the group made a detour to ensure that the smoke and dust of their march could not attract the attention of the defenders in the far Luoyang City, and went straight to the Taimiao in the south of the Luoyang City.
In Luoyang City, it was already afternoon, and after walking all the streets of the city, Yuan Shao took the new monarch Liu Wei to carry out the next procedure, which is also the most important, that is, to sue the Taimiao.
After all, no matter how appropriate it is, if the new emperor appears, if he does not worship his ancestors, then the new monarch and his courtiers are obviously unfilial people, and in the Han Dynasty, which governs the country with filial piety, it is obviously unforgivable. Originally, after the new monarch ascended the throne, it was obvious that he should choose another suitable time, and after a special set of etiquette, he would go to worship the heavens and worship his ancestors again, but it was obvious that for the current Yuan Shao and other party members, they did not have this time to waste, so they simply took advantage of the situation in Luoyang City to strike while the iron was hot, and finish the trivial matters on the etiquette procedures, completely confirming the name of the new monarch.
A group of people crossed the east of the royal road outside the gate of Pingcheng, and went to the Ming Hall in the south of the city of Luoyang, where the temple of the Son of Heaven was located, before leaving the city, Yuan Shao also specially asked the soldiers who defended the city, whether there was anything abnormal outside the city, especially in the west, the Liangzhou soldiers of Fuquan, which he was most afraid of, would suddenly come.
It's just that these people of Yuan Shao are all people who are used to living a peaceful life in Luoyang, unless the enemy hits the city of Luoyang, otherwise, they will not care if there is an unknown enemy in the distance, and Fuquan's cavalry outside the city deliberately avoid the eyes and ears of the soldiers in Luoyang City, so naturally the answer they gave Yuan Shao can only be that everything is safe.
This made Yuan Shao laugh at himself, indeed, he himself was a little nervous, no matter how fast Fuquan's soldiers and horses were, but Liu Hong's edict had only been set off for a few days, could he have grown wings and fly over? Today, this matter of Liu Wei becoming the new monarch, he Yuan Shao must sit down!
The distance of seven miles, whether it is long or short, is not short, Fu Quan waited until he lurked in a royal forest not far from the Taimiao, waiting for Yuan Shao and his party.
After the officials of the forest garden revealed the identity of the hussar general in Fuquan, although they knew that Fuquan's behavior was a bit overstepping, after all, the courtiers trespassed on the royal forest garden without permission, which was also a great crime of disrespect. However, due to the current chaos in Luoyang City that they had heard, they could only swallow their anger in the end, allowing the cavalry under Fu Quan's command to enter, and even being forced by Fu Quan to prepare food for the soldiers who had not eaten a good meal in order to hurry for days.
In the afternoon, in the Taimiao, under the protection of a group of soldiers with different clothes, Yuan Shao took the three dukes and nine kings and hundreds of officials, escorted the new monarch Liu Wei, to the ancestral spiritual seat of the Taimiao, where all the ancestral emperors recognized by the dynasty since the former Han Dynasty are enshrined.
The founding of this dynasty, Liu Xiu called the emperor, initially because he was the ninth grandson of Liu Bang, the ancestor of the former Han Dynasty, from the former Han Dynasty Emperor Jing's son Changsha Dingwang Liu Fa lineage, so only the former Han Gao, Wen, Jing three emperors, and, at the same time, Liu Xiu built a temple of four relatives in Luoyang, sacrificing his Gao, Zeng, Zu, and father four.
Later, because Liu Xiu was a side of the Han family, and now he has won the country, which can be regarded as a side branch into the succession to the great unification, if in terms of the patriarchal system, it is a small sect. According to the theory that the great sect is endless, Liu Xiu inherits the great sect, and should take the Yuan, Cheng, Mourning, and Equality Western Han Dynasty emperors as the ancestors, and the rites of the biological parents and other private relatives should be weakened, which is the so-called "son of the latter" in the patriarchal law.
In the end, after some ceremonial struggle, Liu Xiu admitted that Wang Mang had added the "Zhongzong" temple name to Emperor Xuan, and abolished the "Gaozong", "Tongzong" and "Yuanzong" temple names of Yuan, Cheng and Ping Emperors. Then the four relatives temple was replaced by the four emperors of Xuan, Yuan, Cheng, Wai and Ping, and according to the lineage, Guangwu should be the son of Emperor Yuan, the same generation as Emperor Cheng, and the uncle of Mourning and Ping. Therefore, Liu Xiuzun Xuan Emperor as the ancestor, Emperor Yuan as the father, and Gao, Wen, Wu three emperors together with the gods of the three emperors in Luoyang high temple, by Liu Xiu personally enshrined, Cheng, mourning, Ping three emperors gods are offered in Chang'an high temple, by the court officials for the sacrifice, as for his biological father Nan Dunjun and so on to set up another emperor examination temple, by the ministers enshrined.
Therefore, at this time, in the Taimiao of Luoyang, in addition to the emperors of this dynasty to the present, of course, except for the emperor Liu Hong, who did not know life and death, there were only the spiritual positions of the emperors of the former Han Dynasty, such as Gao, Wen, Jing, Wu, Xuan, Yuan, Cheng, Wai, and Ping.
Yuan Shao took Liu Wei, according to the system, one by one with the ancestors to worship, suddenly heard the earth shake, and then there was a muffled sound, straight into the thunderbolt, suddenly full of doubts, I don't know what happened, looking at the weather in the Taimiao, it doesn't seem like it's going to be thundering and raining.
"Oh no! Oh no! The Liangzhou soldiers are coming...... The Liangzhou soldiers are coming...... Ah......h
Looking around in a daze, Yuan Shao suddenly heard a cavalry shouting from the west, and looked at the sound, but saw a scout patrolling in the west, shouting with a frightened face. Soon, however, he was shot from behind by an arrow from his back and fell off his horse, and the scouts who wanted to be with him on his way to flee alone had already been killed.
Behind him, the dust and smoke were billowing out, and the figures of countless cavalry became clearer and clearer, and with the words of the scout just now, everyone present was shocked at the moment, the Liangzhou soldiers actually came? How could it be so fast?
Yuan Shao on the high platform of Taimiao was the same, he couldn't understand, Liu Hong's will had only been issued for a few days, how could Fuquan come so quickly?
Normally, from Sili to Liangzhou, once and again, even if there is no delay on the way, it will take more than half a month to come quickly, not to mention that it is still an army of thousands of people, after all, the more people, the more difficult it is to march quickly.
"What will it be like now?" He Hao, who was in the distance, hurriedly ran to the high platform and asked anxiously, at this moment, this resourceful person of the party has no idea at all.
As we all know, the cavalry has a great advantage over the infantry, and it is difficult for the infantry to defeat the cavalry with the same strength, and it is unfortunate that Yuan Shao wants to leave enough soldiers and horses in the city to besiege the palace and maintain the order of the city, so this time he brought thousands of infantry to Liu Wei to worship the Taimiao.
Normally, for the average royal trip, thousands of infantry were actually more than enough, but now facing the elite under Fu Quan's command, it is obvious that this is a bit stretched.
Yuan Shao saw those cavalry, and he had no confidence in repelling them at all, so he was naturally panicked at the moment, but he knew what the most important thing was to do now, and hurriedly beckoned people to protect Liu Wei. At the same time, let people prepare horses, he wants to take Liu Wei back to Luoyang City on horseback, as long as Luoyang City and Liu Wei are still in his hands, then everything will still have a chance.
It's just that, obviously, Yuan Shao knows the importance of Liu Wei at this moment, and he has been hiding, just waiting for Yuan Shao to sacrifice to the sky in the Taimiao Temple, and he also knows the importance of Liu Wei at this moment.
From before deciding to come to Taimiao to ambush, Fu Quan also guessed that this Taimiao must be Yuan Shao's must-come place, after all, unless Yuan Shao didn't want etiquette and the world's recognition, he would definitely take Liu Wei to worship his ancestors. And since he wants to worship his ancestors, then this is Fuquan's opportunity, for Fuquan, as long as he takes advantage of this opportunity to take down Yuan Shao's main personnel, in this way, the Luoyang Rebellion will naturally be solved, and the defenders in the city have no one to command, can they still surrender without opening the door?
"Kill into the enemy formation, capture the puppet monarch Liu Wei, the rest of the people, etc., if there is a resistant, kill him!" In front of the Liangzhou cavalry, Fu Quan glanced at the situation in the Taimiao, and shouted at the moment, no matter what, he also wanted to completely tear apart the righteousness of Yuan Shao and others.
"No!" Huang Zhong, Dian Wei and the others beside Fu Quan shouted in unison, and then flicked the horsewhip tightly and rushed forward.
Seeing this, the soldiers and horses of Yuan Shao's side on the opposite side reacted quickly, and hurriedly set up a formation and prepared to fight, but most of them fled in all directions because of the situation on the scene.
Seeing that the opposite side was in formation, the Liangzhou soldiers took out their short bows one after another, and shot two rounds of arrows at the opposite Yuan Shao's soldiers and horses in a short period of time, and then in the incredible eyes of the soldiers on the opposite side, they quickly changed back to their sabers, like a fierce tiger, and rushed into the Taimiao sacrifice people and horses that were scattered in all directions and chaotic inside.
The result was already doomed, and the elite Liangzhou soldiers quickly defeated Yuan Shao's infantry who wanted to resist, and then went straight to the high platform of Taimiao to capture Liu Wei.
Huang Zhong and Dian Wei were riding horses in the Western Regions, much better than ordinary soldiers, the two of them arrived near the high platform for the first time, and saw that Yuan Shao was pulling Liu Wei on the horse, and when he was about to leave, he pursued at the moment, and more than a dozen people along the road stepped forward to stop them, and they were all killed by the two.
Hearing the sound from behind, Yuan Shao held Liu Wei and galloped wildly, but it would be difficult for a horse to carry two people, not to mention that the horses ridden by the two people chased in the rear were not ordinary BMWs, and in the end Yuan Shao and Liu Wei were still captured by Huang Zhong and Dian Wei.
The sunlight is gradually getting a little yellow, indicating that the sun is about to reach dusk, and before the Han family sacrifices to the ancestors, the sacred Taimiao, the current scene, like the sunshine, presents a blood-colored, from time to time on the ground lying gurgling and bleeding corpses, if the Confucian scholars are here, they will definitely howl what blood splashes the Taimiao, ashamed of the ancestors' words.
When Fu Quan saw Yuan Shao, who was bound, and Liu Wei, who came with courtesy, he was finally relieved in his heart, and looked at Liu Wei, who looked naΓ―ve, and was at a loss by the accident just now, so he ordered someone to take him away and take care of him, even if he became a hypocrite, but after all, he was the prince of Liu Hong, and he couldn't be too lazy in his identity.
After Liu Wei left, Fu Quan looked at Yuan Shao, but Yuan Shao was unwilling to ask, "Why did you come so quickly?" β
Obviously, Yuan Shao is still puzzled, but Fu Quan has no place to talk nonsense with him at all, it is a scourge to keep this guy with too high forbearance coefficient, he will not make this mistake.
Therefore, Fu Quan didn't answer this at all, but said to the left and right: "Yuan Benchu plotted to rebel and beheaded!" β
Without hesitation, at that moment, a personal soldier took away Yuan Shao, who looked confused, and left, as if he didn't expect Fu Quan to kill him without saying a word.
With Yuan Shao's head sent, and then Fu Quan ordered people to collect things and prepare to go to Luoyang, and now, Liu Wei is in hand, and it is time for him to take power.
