Zhang Zai hurriedly helped Yang Biao up, no matter what, he still admired Yang Biao, the dignified captain, in order to offer the emperor, he did not hesitate to come to the door to apologize in person, and gave him a junior to make this big gift, it was also difficult for him.

Zhang Zai's tone was a little hurried, and he hurriedly said: "Captain Yang is broken, where can he afford to be a gift from Captain Yang." ”

Yang Biao also got up and made this big gift to Zhang Zai, he also felt very awkward, but for the safety of the emperor, he had to do it.

Yang Biao saw Zhang Zai helping him up, and hurriedly asked, "Then the general agrees to protect His Majesty?" ”

Zhang Zai smiled bitterly: "Taiwei Yang has already come to the door in person, so what complaints do you have?" ”

Yang Biao stroked his beard, looked at Zhang Zai and exclaimed: "Uncle has such a good son-in-law, it is really a blessing." ”

After hearing this, Zhang Zai kept slandering in his heart, if he didn't choose to protect the emperor, he would not be a good person, but his face was ashamed and humble.

The two talked in the camp for a while, Zhang Zai sent Yang Biao out of the camp, before Yang Biao entered the city, Zhang Zai said to him: "Yang Taiwei, the Luoyang area is now in ruins, it will take some time to build, during this period, you might as well settle down in Yanzhou, Yanzhou Prefecture Mu Cao Mengde is Zai's old friend, Zai repaired a letter in advance, said with Mengde, let him prepare the palace, and send troops in advance to respond. ”

Yang Biao had also heard of Cao Cao's name, and knew that Cao's family was favored by the emperor, and it was a good choice to protect him.

Yang Biao listened to Zhang Zai's proposal and felt that it was very feasible, so he said: "The old man will tell Your Majesty about this matter, so please ask the general to bother more and inform General Meng De in advance." ”

After Yang Biao left, Zhang Zai invited Luo Cheng and Zhao Yun to the tent and told the two of them his decision.

The reactions of the two were different, Luo Cheng looked incredulous, and faintly reluctant, as for Zhao Yun, it was a look of admiration.

"My lord, I have already offended Your Majesty today, why do you choose to escort them to Luoyang?" Luo Cheng looked at Zhang Zai with a reluctant expression.

"If you don't want to go, then you can return to the state now, and I can escort Your Majesty with Zilong." Zhang Zai didn't look at Luo Cheng either, and directly gave Luo Cheng a choice.

"That'...... Cheng should escort with the lord. ”

Zhang Zai's eyes turned to Zhao Yun again and asked, "Zilong, you have no problem, right?" ”

Zhao Yun looked at Zhang Zai, and was very glad that he had met Zhang Zai, the lord, he didn't know much about Zhang Zai's personality before, and he took refuge in Zhang Zai only because of Luo Cheng and his family, but after getting along with each other day and night in the past few days, he began to feel that it was a wise decision to be able to recognize Zhang Zai as the master.

Zhao Yun suddenly knelt down on one knee and said, "Yun is willing to follow the lord and go to the soup and fire, and he will not give up." ”

Zhang Zai didn't expect that he chose to escort Emperor Xian just for the sake of the future layout, which would make Zhao Yun completely return to his heart, which can be regarded as an unexpected joy.

Zhang Zai picked up Zhao Yun and said, "Zilong is serious, get up quickly, the family doesn't talk to each other." ”

After Zhao Yun completely returned to his heart, Zhang Zai also put his mind at ease, he brought Zhao Yun here this time, naturally he had his deep meaning, although Zhao Yun recognized him as the master before, but he had always followed Li Jing to the border, the two did not have too deep contacts, and he was also worried that Zhao Yun would leave Bingzhou, and now he completely let go of a stone in his heart.

Nothing was said all night.

At dawn the next day, the frame of the car in the city was ready, and it was escorted out by Yang Feng and Li Le, followed by the hundred officials.

Emperor Xian's carriage passed by Zhang Zai's side, and Emperor Xian did not show up, nor did he greet him, and went straight to the east, but Yang Biao came to inform Zhang Zai to set off.

The rude act of offering the emperor completely angered Luo Cheng, and even Zhao Yun frowned.

"Lord!" Luo Cheng shouted.

Although he didn't say it explicitly, the people around him understood what he meant, this time even Zhao Yun looked at Zhang Zai with a determined face, as long as Zhang Zai ordered to leave, he would not hesitate to return to the state.

Yang Biao on the side saw this scene and was also disappointed in Emperor Xian, but he couldn't let Zhang Zai leave, which was related to their safety all the way.

After all, no matter how heartfelt Yang Feng and the others are, they can't erase the fact that they are thieves, once they have bad intentions, they will definitely not be able to stop them from holding Emperor Xian hostage with this group of ministers.

Yang Biao approached on a horse, bowed to Zhang Zai, and said, "Please don't care, general, if you say something disrespectful, Your Majesty is still just a child." ”

Zhang Zai waved his hand, indicating that he didn't care about Emperor Xian's actions, and said: "Taiwei Yang doesn't have to be careful, he said that he would escort His Majesty, and he would definitely send His Majesty to Luoyang before returning to the state." ”

Yang Biao saw that Zhang Zai's expression did not seem to be fake, so he appeased Zhang Zai for a while, and then followed the team of hundreds of officials and hurried east.

Zhang Zai sent Yang Biao away and began to arrange defenses, first of all, they only need to protect the safety of Emperor Xian, so send more scouts along the road and pay attention to the safety of Emperor Xian, as for other things, they have nothing to do with them at all.

I believe that no bandits and robbers who are not long-sighted dare to attack their army of nearly 30,000 people, and even if there are, they only need to protect the safety of Emperor Xian, and everything else does not need to interfere.

After Zhang Zai explained all the things that needed to be paid attention to to one by one to all the military horses, he also led the Northern Army to guard the rear, and slowly followed the team forward.

As for why Zhang Zai chose to protect the emperor, and planned to hand it over to Cao Cao in person, he naturally had other plans.

Historically, the reason why Yuan Shao did not welcome Emperor Xian to Hebei was that he listened to the words of Guo Tu and others at the beginning, thinking that after welcoming Emperor Xian, everything needed to be consulted by Emperor Xian, and he was subject to restrictions everywhere.

But now the situation is different, Yuan Shao failed to get the land of annexation as he wished, and there is even a nail he placed in Youzhou.

The most important thing is that according to the news passed by the bad people, Yuan Shao now relies on Tian Feng very much, if Tian Feng advocates to welcome the emperor, Yuan Shao is likely to listen, Tian Feng and the ability of the frustrated teacher must not be ignored.

At that time, if Yuan Shao makes a fuss about Emperor Xian, he will definitely take action against him, at least the land of Youzhou is likely to be unprotected, after all, the influence of the Han family at this time should not be underestimated, otherwise Liu Bei's reputation in history would not have spread so far.

Moreover, in history, Yuan Shao had several chances to defeat Cao Cao, but he did not follow the correct advice and missed the opportunity, so he was defeated by Cao Cao.

And Cao Cao has no emperor and a minister, his power will definitely grow by leaps and bounds, although the two will not conflict in a short time, but, in the long run, it is most appropriate to send the emperor to Cao Cao.

Now what he has to do is to block Yuan Shao, and at the same time add stumbling blocks to Cao Cao, and make Cao Cao owe him a favor.

But Zhang Zai didn't expect that Yang Feng and Li Lezhen, who were guarding Emperor Xian, were planning to rob Emperor Xian.
