The 208th episode The Han Emperor fled eastward
Under the cover of Yang Feng and Dong Cheng, Liu Xie could only escape over the high wall of the camp. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info But he doesn't care about etiquette either, after all, what is more important than freedom? The Hungarian poet Pei Duofei said: Life is precious, love is more valuable, if it is for freedom, both can be thrown away. Such a famous poem, but unfortunately Liu Xie didn't know it.
As for Jia Xu, he naturally had no intention of running away with Liu Xie, after all, it was not in his interests to escape with a down-and-out emperor. The main reason why Jia Xu came to help the emperor escape was that he couldn't go on with Li Dao anymore, otherwise he would be ruined, and his name might not be guaranteed.
He planned to stay to appease Li Xie's emotions and buy time for Liu Xie's escape as much as possible; After the deed, I went to seek refuge in Zhang Ji, who was stationed in Hongnong.
Li Dao was still fighting with Guo Yan in front, and the tens of thousands of horses on both sides fought, which was another baptism of blood for Chang'an. However, Liu Xie didn't have time to regret it now, he and his family successfully escaped from the north gate under the cover of Yang Feng's soldiers and horses, and embarked on the escape journey.
Looking at Chang'an, the western capital, Liu Xie's heart was mixed, you must know that it was in this place that the ancestors built the Han Dynasty into a huge empire that lasted for 400 years; Now that it is in his own hands, he has become as crippled as a ruin, and it is extremely difficult for him, a great man, to even save his life.
"The emperor is good, the emperor is wonderful, the emperor has come to the Dragon Temple; The dragon god is noisy, the dragon god roars, and the dragon god flies to the big man! ”
The chariot drove all the way to the east for fifty or sixty miles, and it was about to get dark and reach the boundary of Weinan. Suddenly, out of nowhere, there were suddenly children's voices, and the poems chanted were simply reactionary, especially the last sentence "The dragon god flew to the big man", isn't this cursing my big man?
Liu Xie couldn't stand such obscure words, frowned slightly, and asked outside the chariot, "Stop driving!" Who's making a noise here? ”
Everyone was stunned and stopped the car, and Yang Feng stepped forward and asked, "Your Majesty, what voice did you hear?" ”
Liu Xie was shocked when he heard this, can't you hear such a loud children's voice? In a blink of an eye, his mind was cold, could it be that this was a voice that only he could hear, and he immediately asked: "Yang Aiqing, where is the boundary now?" ”
"Back to Your Majesty, this is in a narrow valley fifty miles west of Weinan."
Liu Xie's eyes rolled slightly, thinking that it shouldn't be, this is a valley, how can there be a dragon temple? He looked around and immediately asked, "Are there any Weinan locals, what dragon temple is there here?" ”
Yang Fengzheng didn't know how to speak, and suddenly a pawn came out and said: "Back to Your Majesty, the young general is from Weinan, and there is indeed a dragon temple on the top of the mountain, and the journey to and from it takes less than an hour." It is said that it was built by the ancestors of the Qin State in the pre-Qin period, but since a hundred years ago, there has been enough rain here, and the Dragon Temple has gradually been abandoned and has become a broken temple. ”
Is there really one? Liu Xie was secretly taken aback, and then Yang Feng asked, "Why did Your Majesty suddenly ask about this, but what kind of heavenly will you can't achieve?" ”
Liu Xie didn't speak, because he didn't know if the words he heard just now were auditory hallucinations; But if it was true, he could not give up such an opportunity, and immediately ordered: "The whole army is stationed on the spot to rest for a while, Yang Feng, you order five hundred people to follow me up the mountain, and the soldier just now will be the guide." ”
Yang Feng was shocked and stopped again and again: "Your Majesty can't be rash!" I'm only out of the Chang'an realm now, but this place is still under the jurisdiction of Li Dao, what if he catches up? ”
"All I need is an hour." Liu Xie said lightly.
Yang Feng Dong Cheng looked at each other when he heard this, but after all, this was the will of the Son of Heaven, and he had no choice, so he immediately ordered five hundred troops to escort Liu Xie up the mountain.
The mountain road is dangerous, Liu Xie, the emperor who has not been trained all year round, complains bitterly, if it is not escorted by soldiers, he is afraid that he will not be able to climb halfway up the mountain. After about half an hour, Liu Xie, under the guidance of the soldier, really saw a dragon temple that almost had no roof.
The Dragon Temple is in disrepair, and the adobe houses still smell of rancid from hundreds of years ago; The dragon statue without any shelter around it was enshrined in the middle, but the dragon idol didn't even know where the head had gone, and it looked panicked. I don't know if the tribute placed below was placed there hundreds of years ago, and the foul smell of rot made Liu Xie feel that his stomach was flooded with acid water, and even if he was hungry, he was no longer in the mood to eat.
The Dragon King Temple was built on the cliff, with its back to the bright moon, and bursts of light came from the back of the house, making Liu Xie feel very comfortable in his heart, and the previous feeling of being baptized by the stench suddenly disappeared.
Maybe...... This is a gift from the dragon god, right?
Liu Xie walked out of the protection of the military formation, bowed to the Dragon Temple, and asked, "I don't know if the Dragon God has anything important to tell me?" ”
The gods and the emperor respect each other, after all, the emperor is the son of heaven, unlike mortals who need to show supreme respect for the gods; Therefore, the relationship between the emperor and the immortals is very delicate, and in a common saying, it is business blowing each other. The Son of Heaven touted the immortals, and then also used the immortals to boast of himself.
Liu Xie asked three times in a row, but there was no slightest movement, I don't know how to be good, suddenly felt a faint fragrance coming, refreshing, Liu Xie looked, it turned out that I don't know when a fairy grass looked like something on the side, exuding a faint fragrance, a faint light under the bright moon, as if the bright moon gave it infinite vitality.
However, before Liu Xie could react from this aromatic treatment, the world suddenly turned upside down, and a big Gang star flickered in the sky, as if a huge fireball was gradually approaching the earth, as if it was about to completely shatter the earth. Liu Xie was shocked, and immediately closed his eyes to calm down, and when he opened his eyes again, it was really an illusion.
But even though it was an illusion, Liu Xie still felt a chill in his back, and sweat wet his dragon robe. He suddenly turned his head to look at the Dragon Temple, and at some point a clay head suddenly grew on the broken sculpture, which looked very new, and he didn't know when it suddenly grew. He looked at Liu Xie with a smile, but it made the latter feel more and more panicked.
This...... Is it a god or a ghost?
But he looked at the statue of the dragon god carefully, and for some reason it felt extremely familiar, why did the smiling face of the dragon god have a sense of immediacy that he had seen?
Everyone stood for a long time, but nothing seemed to have happened, and the dragon god's instructions to Liu Xie seemed to be the hallucinatory sea of fairy grass and a big star just now, what does this mean? Liu Xie didn't know, but thinking that time was waiting for no one, he had to give up the Dragon Temple and go straight down the mountain to join Yang Feng.
Yang Feng saw that Liu Xie was a little late, but he didn't dare to ask anything, so he hurriedly took the Son of Heaven to continue eastward, and did not dare to stop at all when he passed Weinan, and marched towards Tongguan overnight.
As long as you get out of Tongguan and enter the Hongnong land boundary, you can have a little rest time all the way ahead.
Everyone galloped to the foot of Tongguan City tiredly, and now it was the second night, about two hundred miles away from Chang'an City. In the past two days, all the soldiers have basically not rested, even Yang Feng and Dong Cheng, the morale of the army is extremely low, and there is no combat effectiveness at all.
However, Tongguan only has 500 Li Dao defenders, but Yang Feng has 5,000 soldiers and horses, which is simply incomparable! In order to ensure his own power under Chang'an City, Li Dao could have as few defenders as possible in Tongguan, but he didn't expect to do Yang Feng a big favor. The defenders in the city saw that Yang Feng had a large number of men and horses, and the main general was Yang Feng, who had a good relationship with Li Dao, so they didn't dare to ask more, but simply asked and let them go.
Out of Tongguan, Liu Xie finally breathed a sigh of relief, at least in this way, he was temporarily out of control, unless......
Li Dao sent troops to chase after him.
However, it turns out that you must not set up a flag casually, Yang Feng has not passed through more than half of the soldiers and horses in Tongguan, and suddenly a soldier galloped over, shouting: "Da Sima has an order, close the gate of Tongguan, and prohibit everyone from entering and leaving!" ”
Da Sima naturally refers to Li Dao, and if he wants to come to Jia Xu, he will try his best to drag Li Dao, otherwise Li Dao's envoy would not have arrived at Tongguan so late. Sure enough, the Tongguan soldiers who received the news immediately changed their faces, and immediately ordered Yang Feng's soldiers and horses to withdraw to Tongguan. In order to avoid hurting the emperor, Yang Feng ordered the troops in front to withdraw quickly without delay.
Yang Feng only left 2,000 men and horses who did not withdraw from Tongguan to face the enemy, but because the soldiers were too tired and the enemy was waiting for work, 500 men and horses actually killed Yang Feng, who lost nearly 1,000 men and horses, and successfully escaped from Tongguan, leaving hundreds of people to follow the front team closely.
Liu Xie was frightened, Yang Feng asked Dong Chenghao to persuade him, and he asked the soldiers to hurry up and quickly get out of the Tongguan territory so that they could find a place to rest.
He didn't know that Li Dao had already raised troops and began to chase Liu Xie.
