Chapter 138: Welcome

Just when Emperor Xian and others crossed the Yellow River, Zhang Zai had already led his troops to the junction of Bingzhou and Hedong. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

For this dispatch, Zhang Zai can be said to be imperative, and at the same time, he also transferred Zhao Yun to his side, he has a hunch that this time to welcome the emperor will not be as smooth as Cao Cao in history.

Zhang Zai's 20,000 troops ran all the way to Anyi, and notified the Taishou Wangyi in advance, Zhang Zai was not the first time to see Wangyi, explained his intention to Wangyi, and then went all the way south to meet the emperor.

Emperor Xian and others went all the way north, but the speed of the march was very slow, and when Zhang Zai and others met the emperor, Emperor Xian had just entered the Dayang north of the Yellow River.

After entering the city, Dong Cheng, Li Le, Yang Feng and others took over the defense of the city, and after crossing the Yellow River, they still had 10,000 soldiers left.

Dayang is just a small city on the north bank of the Yellow River, the city wall is short, suddenly, there are 20,000 cavalry arrived, and they are still under the city, the defenders at the head of the city suddenly became nervous, although the comers are playing the banner of the northern army, but who knows that they are not here to rob the emperor.

"Who's coming?" The castle guard shouted loudly.

"Zhang Zai, the general of the expedition to the north, heard that the emperor was here, and he came to see him."

"Wait a minute, the general will report to you." When the head of the city heard that the person who came was the general of Zhengbei, he did not dare to slack off, and went directly to the city to report.

Emperor Xian, who had just entered the house and had not rested, heard that tens of thousands of northern troops had come outside the city, and after experiencing the ravages of Li Guo and the others, he had a deep wariness of outsiders, especially the border army.

Even if Zhang Zai once rescued the driver, but after all, it was a few years ago, and people's hearts were unpredictable, and when he didn't understand the intention of the Northern Army, he really didn't dare to let Zhang Zai enter the city.

However, Emperor Xian was born in the emperor's family after all, and he also had some small experience in employing people, so he hurriedly gathered everyone to inform Zhang Zai of his arrival and ask for their opinions.

"Never!" The first to oppose was Yang Feng, who had a holiday with Zhang Zai, and his previous troops were attacked by Zhang Zai, with heavy losses, and the cottage was also burned by Zhang Zai.

"Why?" Although Emperor Xian didn't want Zhang Zai to enter the city, he couldn't show it on his face, he still had to listen.

"Your Majesty, now that the intention of the Northern Army is unknown, if you want to emulate Dong Zhuo, the consequences will be unimaginable." Yang Feng's words are also the death of Emperor Xian.

He can tolerate Yang Feng and the others around him, because they have very little ambition and can be bought with high-ranking officials Houlu, but Zhang Zai is different, the generals of the four expeditions are about to reach the limit, and they can only be the generals of the four towns, or the chariots, hussars, or even the generals.

With Zhang Zai's merits, he should at least be named the three major generals, but the real power of the general with the title of general is too threatening.

"Your Majesty, the old minister thinks that Your Majesty will not only let Zhang Zhengbei enter the city, but even go to greet him in person." Yang Biao, the captain on the side, didn't seem to understand the meaning of Emperor Xian, and despite Emperor Xian's somewhat blue face, he came out and said.

"Why?"

Emperor Xian's face was suddenly displeased, but the person who spoke was Yang Biao, especially since he had saved his life several times, even if Emperor Xian was unwilling in his heart, he had to follow his words.

"General Zhengbei personally came to escort him, and His Majesty should personally go to the city gate to greet him, so as to show His Majesty's benevolence and at the same time show that His Majesty attaches great importance to him." Seeing Emperor Xian's face turn from dark to bright, Yang Biao nodded and continued: "Your Majesty, as for Zhang Zai's sincerity, in the opinion of an old minister, you can trust it. ”

"How can Taiwei Yang be sure that Zhang Zai has no intention of murdering His Majesty?" It was Li Le who spoke, and he and Yang Feng were both from Baibo, so they naturally wanted to support Yang Feng.

Yang Biao glanced at the two of them and continued: "Zhang Zainai is the son-in-law of Cai Yong, the great Confucian of today, and he has a true friendship with the Taifu Ma Riyan and Huangfu Yi, they are full of praise for Zhang Zai, and the old minister believes in the vision of the two of them. ”

Hearing Yang Biao mention Ma Riyan and Huangfu Song, Emperor Xian's face also showed a bit of remembrance, they were all loyal ministers of the Han family, but it was a pity that the two had died of illness last year.

Emperor Xian was young, his ears were soft, and when he heard Yang Biao's words, he also felt that Zhang Zai could have a relationship with the two, and he must also be loyal to the people of the Han family.

"Your Majesty, by all means!" Seeing that Emperor Xian was obviously a little moved, Yang Feng was very anxious and hurriedly said.

"What is the Yang Qing family's opinion?"

Seeing that Yang Feng was still desperately preventing Zhang Zai from entering the city, Emperor Xian also frowned, so he asked him why.

Yang Feng hesitated for a long time, and finally said: "Dayang City is small, it can't accommodate so many soldiers and horses, and it is not subordinate to each other, so it is difficult to ensure that there is any conflict, causing chaos in the city, threatening the safety of Your Majesty and all the ministers. ”

When Emperor Xian heard it, it was also the same reason, tens of thousands of troops from the Northern Army came, the lord was weak and the ministers were strong, if Zhang Zai wanted to seize power, no one would be able to balance him at that time.

Well, when the time comes, test him, place the Northern Army outside the city, if he really has different intentions and wants to lead his troops into the city, then lure him into the city, kill him, take his soldiers and horses, and encircle the generals in the Northern Army, and then with Zhang Zai's tens of thousands of soldiers and horses, maybe he will be able to destroy Li Dao, Guo Yan and others, and the Han family will be able to prosper in his own hands.

The more Emperor Xian thought about it, the more excited he became, so he couldn't wait to say: "Since Dayang City is small, let the Zhengbei army stay outside the city and camp out. ”

"No!"

Everyone quickly set up the carriage, in fact, it was just a carriage with a curtain and a little decoration with royal ornaments, the dignified Han Emperor could only sit in this kind of carriage, and the minister behind him didn't even have a horse, which made people feel sad to look at.

Although everything looks so simple, the etiquette that the emperor should have when leaving the camp is not missing at all, but there is a lack of vocal music.

After a short time, the group came to the gate of the city and left the city.

When Zhang Zai saw the frame, he was stunned for a moment, then quickly dismounted and walked quickly to the frame of the emperor.

After Zhang Zai dismounted, the 20,000 people behind him also dismounted, their movements neat and neat, and the ministers of the DPRK and China who watched it were also extremely shocked.

When Zhang Zai was still a few steps away from the frame, he stopped, then bowed and said, "Minister, Zhang Zai, the general of Zhengbei, meet Your Majesty." ”

"Meet Your Majesty!"

The 20,000 men of the Northern Army knelt at the same time, shouting in unison, and the sound soared into the sky, directly scattering the clouds in the sky.

"Zhang Aiqing is flat." At this moment, Emperor Xian was also extremely excited, he had been in exile for several years, where had he been so powerful and bowed, a small face was flushed with excitement, and then he looked at the soldiers behind Zhang Zai and said: "All the soldiers are flat." ”

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"
