In the end, under the grace of Yuan Shao, Emperor Xian was escorted by Cao Cao's army across the Pingjin ferry and headed to Luoyang. Pen fun and pavilion www.biquge.info
And Yuan Shao, who failed to invite the emperor to Jizhou, could only return in vain, after all, Emperor Xian also had soldiers and horses, unless he was willing to risk the world's disapproval, learn from Dong Zhuo and others, and forcibly take Emperor Xian hostage to Jizhou.
Tian Feng and Fu Zhu on the side had no choice, they couldn't propose to Yuan Shao to hijack the car, trap the lord for disloyalty, and be scolded by the world.
Now that the overall situation of this matter has been decided, it is better to take this opportunity to reap the benefits.
After crossing the Yellow River and arriving at Pingjin, it was not far from Luoyang, and Emperor Xian finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Half a day later, the emperor finally arrived in Luoyang, and the emperor entered Luoyang, and saw that the palace was burned out, the market was barren, and the eyes were full of artemisia grass, and there were only decaying walls in the palace courtyard, so he immediately ordered the whole army to clean up the palace.
Cao Cao, on the side, ordered people to go to the nearby counties to recruit people, and at the same time his army helped clean up the palace like ruins.
At the same time, the emperor issued an edict and changed Xingping to the first year of Jian'an.
Now, there are only a few hundred residents in Luoyang, which can be described as extremely desolate.
"Your Majesty, it will take a lot of time to rebuild the Luoyang Palace, so it is better to go and live elsewhere for the time being." After Cao Cao arranged the repair of the palace, he came to meet the emperor.
Emperor Xian on the side saw the ruins of Luoyang, and thought in his heart, Luoyang is indeed not a place to live for a long time, it is better to go elsewhere first, and after the repair of Luoyang is completed, it is not too late to return.
It's just a question of where to settle down.
Emperor Xian looked at Cao Cao and asked, "Where is Cao Qing, you might as well say it." ”
"Xu Du is close to Luyang, the city palace room, money, food and people's goods, enough to spare, and it is very close to Luoyang, the minister dares to ask for the pleasure of Xu Du, but His Majesty follows it." Cao Cao had obviously already thought of where to go, and after Emperor Xian asked, he said it directly.
"Xu Du?" Emperor Xian frowned and thought about it, Xu Du is only a hundred miles away from Luoyang, if he wants to return, it will take a day, and he still has tens of thousands of soldiers and horses in his hands, so he is not afraid that Cao Cao has any bad intentions.
"Then let's go to Xudu first." Emperor Xian replied.
After a short rest, the group continued to hurry, and before they had walked a few miles, suddenly there was smoke and dust in the rear, and then a scout came to report that Li Dao and Guo Yan led an army of 50,000 to attack.
When Emperor Xian heard this, he immediately ordered Cao Cao, Yang Feng and others to lead an army to meet the enemy.
Cao Cao received the order, divided his subordinates into three divisions, and personally led the Chinese army, Xiahoudun led 10,000 people as the left wing, Cao Hong led 10,000 people as the right wing, and each led a number of generals.
And Li Dao, Guo Yan and others came from afar, and they did not rest, and when they saw Cao Cao's tens of thousands of people lined up, they directly attacked the Chinese army.
This time, they came, but they brought all the Xiliang soldiers, including Dong Zhuo's personal guard in the past, the Flying Bear Army.
As soon as the two sides came into contact, the Xiliang Army with the Flying Bear Army as the arrow was simply unstoppable, even if it met Cao Cao, who had many soldiers, there was no trace of cowardice, and with the Flying Bear Army as an example, the ferocity of the Xiliang Army went to the next level, and Cao Cao's army fought on a par, and finally, the two sides each withdrew their troops and set up camps.
At night, in Li Dao's camp, a group of generals were discussing the war.
Jia Xu, a strategist who accompanied the army, said: "Cao Cao has many generals, it is better for us to surrender, and we can be exempted from the previous crimes." ”
After hearing this, Li Wei on the side directly pulled out the sword on his waist and laid it across Jia Xu's neck.
Seeing this, the other generals pleaded for Jia Xu one after another.
Li Wei put down the long sword in his hand and said viciously: "If you say this kind of thing to shake the morale of the army again, don't blame me for being ruthless next time." ”
After Li Dao and the others formulated a battle plan for tomorrow, they returned to their camps one after another, recuperated and waited for tomorrow's battle.
At this moment, a man with a height of nine feet suddenly came to the front of the camp, and before he could say what he meant, a soldier recognized him and asked, "But General Huaxiong?" ”
Hua Xiong was stunned, he was known as the number one fierce general in the Xiliang Army before Lu Bu appeared, and it was not surprising that many people knew him, but he didn't expect it, but after a few years, there were still people in the Xiliang Army who could recognize him, which was really surprising.
Since he was recognized, Hua Xiong did not deny it, and said directly: "It's me." ”
"It's really General Huaxiong." The guard had a happy look on his face and asked, "I wonder what the general is coming?" ”
Since the person in front of him recognized him, he also saved a lot of trouble, and Hua Xiong ordered: "Take me to see General Li Dao." ”
"General, please come with me." The guard did not suspect him, and hurriedly led Hua Xiong to the camp.
In the account, Hua Xiong saw Li Dao, and Li Dao was also very surprised by Hua Xiong's appearance, but now the identities of the two have changed, he Li Dao is the head of the generals, and Hua Xiong is now at best a powerful general.
"General Hua has not heard from him in the past few years, I don't know why he suddenly appeared now?"
Hua Xiong glanced at Li Dao and said, "I came here this time to seek General Li's help. ”
Li Wei glanced at Hua Xiong with some disdain, now that the two have a huge gap in identity, he can still see Hua Xiong, which is already giving him face, so he asked, "I don't know what General Hua wants me to help?" If I can, I'll do my best to help. ”
It's just that in Li Dao's words, there is no trace of sincerity.
"I want to avenge Xiangguo, and I specially ask the general to cooperate tomorrow." Hua Xiong didn't care about Li Wei's attitude, since he had a request for others, some small things, he could endure it.
Li Wei laughed loudly after hearing this, and then pointed at Hua Xiong and said: "Lord Xiangguo's revenge has been avenged a long time ago, the mastermind Wang Yun has already died, and the accomplice Li Su was killed by me." ”
Hua Xiong looked at Li Dao with a serious face, and said word by word: "No, you still have a few people who have not been killed." ”
"Who?"
"Lu Bu and Liu Xie."
"Lu Bu is in Xuzhou now, and he has no ability to kill him." Li Dao didn't blush at all: "As for who Liu Xie is, he is also an accomplice in killing Xiangguo?" ”
"Liu Xie is...... Emperor? Li Wei suddenly reacted, then stared at Hua Xiong and asked.
Hua Xiong nodded, and didn't speak again, he couldn't kill Lu Bu, so he didn't force it, but now that he could kill Emperor Xian, of course he wouldn't let go of this opportunity.
Li Dao immediately shook his head and said, "You really want ...... No way! Absolutely not! ”
Li Dao directly refused, it was not that he didn't think about killing the current saint, but the price was too great, once he did this, there would be no place for them in the world.
Hua Xiong said lightly: "General Li, I just need you to contain Cao Cao's army and attract their attention, and I will do the rest by me, and I don't need General Li to bear this infamy." ”
Li Wei's eyes were cloudy, he chased after him this time, just hoping to regain control of Emperor Xian in his hands, but he had no intention of killing him, and once this matter was leaked, the consequences would be unimaginable, after all, kidnapping and murder are two concepts.
Hua Xiong saw that Li Dao did not respond for a long time, and knew Li Dao's worries, so he said: "Don't worry, general, I will not appear in front of the general again after the matter is completed, and as for today's matter, no one will know." ”
"I will only contain Cao Cao, and I don't know anything else."
