Throughout the Han Dynasty, the twenty-four emperors, if you want to say that the most bitter life is Liu Xie.

Since he was ordered by Dong Zhuo to respect Emperor Ling, he dropped his army into Luoyang to support Liu Xie on the throne, Dong Zhuo, who had no constraints, became more and more unscrupulous towards Liu Xie, his own little master. But at that time, Liu Xie was young, and he realized that Dong Fatzi, who was valued by his followers and regarded as a master, had some different thoughts after tasting the taste of supreme power, and because Dong Zhuo's power had been established, in order to save his life, he had to make compromises, and even the choice of residence was unbearable.

After the Kwantung princes returned in vain in their crusade against Dong Zhuo, Dong Zhuo burned Luoyang and moved the capital to Chang'an, but died at the hands of Lu Bu. To tell the truth, although it was rumored that Lu Bu was so unbearable, and Prince Situ Wang Yun at that time also advised Liu Xie, the young son of heaven, to get close to the sage who governed the country and stay away from the warriors who only knew how to be brave, but Liu Xie's impression of Lu Bu was still good, at least Lu Bu did not have as many twists and turns as courtiers, and there was no good plan when it came to the end. Even if it was even when Lu Bu calculated for the courtiers headed by Wang Yun in the end, and the Xiliang army was forced to go to Chang'an because of the menacing situation, he was fortunate by the Manchu ministers and scolded Lu Bu for not knowing the loyalty and savior, Liu Xie remained silent with a rare cold eye.

Seeing that it is almost two years, the experience of this period of time, the fluctuating Han Dynasty [***], and natural disasters one after another, but let the young Liu Xie understand that Wang Situ, who died heroically in front of the palace gate, may not be right, at least the Han Dynasty has experienced four hundred years of ups and downs, if there is no shocking army, simply relying on the benevolence, righteousness and morality on the lips, it is unreasonable to talk to the thief. In Liu Xie's thinking in the past two years, if Lu Bu had not run away with a cold heart, but stuck to Chang'an, maybe he would not have been led by Li Dao and Guo Yan, the two thieves, the remnants of the Xiliang Army who were forced to rebel by Wang Yun, 200,000, blatantly broke through the city pass, and Chang'an was killed, even he, the emperor, could only fall to the point of sending people under the fence.

Liu Xie understands very well, in the eyes of the Xiliang Army led by Li Dao and Guo Yan, the Son of Heaven of the Han Dynasty is just a talisman and a tiger skin, where can there be half a point of the so-called Son of Heaven? But Liu Xie is very cooperative, even after seeing this year, under the mediation of Dong Cheng, Li Dao, who is still keeping his duty, this time he also sent his own cronies Li Meng with a large group of Xiliang soldiers to forcibly break into the palace, claiming that there are thieves in Chang'an, in order to protect the safety of the Son of Heaven, so as not to make Liu Xie lose his prestige in a panic The ridiculous excuse to enter the palace privately, nearly 1,000 people leaked Liu Xie's dormitory, but Liu Xie didn't know what to think, just indifferently looked at the side and was sent by Dong Cheng, But she only knew that the little daughter of the Dong family, who was secretly crying, let Li Meng's soldiers shout loudly in the forbidden palace, and they didn't pay attention to it.

However, from these whispered discussions under the panic of the Xiliang thief soldiers who should have been cut with a thousand knives and annihilated the Nine Clans, Liu Xie still got the news that made his heart ecstatic. The reason why Li Dao suddenly "cared" so much about a puppet son of heaven who had no choice but to issue a decree was because the princes were discussing Yuan Shao, the leader of the Dong League, and Cao Ying, the initiator, when they learned of the rebellion in Chang'an, they gathered more than 100,000 troops to rescue him. And what made Liu Xie even more happy was that Lu Bu, who had always felt guilty for only paying attention to Wang Yun at the beginning, and did not have a good life to envelop him, actually sent his own son-in-law to come, and from the incomplete information that those Xiliang soldiers were talking about in a whisper, this young man named Qin Xu turned out to be Tao Qian, who had no Han family but stole Xuzhou, a place of ointment, before his death. And what made Liu Xie even more ecstatic was that this kid was so able to fight, not only in just a few hours, the Xiongguan Tongguan that the battlefield general Cao Yingyueyu did not capture, directly took down, but also at this time in the east of Chang'an City to respond to the west of the city Ma Teng Han Sui attack the West Gate of the posture, according to the soldiers of the Xiliang Army, have already driven ten miles away.

"Someone! Come! Go to pass on the uncle Dong Chenglai! Although Liu Xie is in the deep palace, there are still some news channels, Li Dao Guo Yan knows that he is not as strong as Dong Zhuo, in addition to house arrest, but at least he maintains due respect for Liu Xie, the son of heaven, Dong Cheng's father-in-law who has a special identity and has a lot to do with Xiliang Army, has actually become a window for Liu Xie to obtain information from the outside world. And Liu Xie remembered to find Dong Cheng at this time, but he actually had some ideas. Liu Xie is already thirteen years old, and as a trusted minister who was able to calmly deal with Dong Zhuo, who was dazzled by power, as early as three years ago, he already has his own plans for the purpose of each of the five forces that came to help, and what is urgently needed now is Dong Cheng, who is the only reliable person in the same count.

In Liu Xie's view, at present, the most troops, the former lord of the princes' alliance, Yuan Shao, cannot be counted on at all, not to mention the farcical ending of the previous mighty crusade against Dong Zhuo, that is, after that, he wants to set up another son of heaven, and he is openly and secretly robbing the "foundation" of his ally that belongs to him, the son of heaven, and his character is really not good, so if he gets the power, maybe he will be the second Dong Zhuo.

And the Liangzhou soldiers led by Ma Teng and Han Sui respectively seem to be useless, not to mention that the two of them are originally difficult to satisfy their personal grievances, so they brazenly changed to the banner of rescuing the Son of Heaven and started a war with the two thieves in Chang'an, which makes people always feel that the two of them have bad intentions and are not enough to entrust them, so they are not liked by Liu Xie.

In addition to the above three roads, the rest is Cao Ying and Qin Xu, the assassin of Xuzhou who came on behalf of Lu Bu. In Liu Xie's eyes, Cao Ying is a great loyal minister, there is no doubt about this. From the fight against the Yellow Turban, to the eunuch rebellion, to Dong Zhuo's power, only Lao Cao dared to commit himself to the enemy camp and stabbed the thief alone, only Lao Cao dared to come to the aid alone when the heroes were tied up in Luoyang City, or only Lao Cao, when he heard that the opportunity was coming, he immediately sent troops to come, just that, although Liu Xie, the son of heaven, has almost forgotten what Cao Ying looks like, but he is also full of good feelings for this former eunuch. And this time Lu Bu didn't come in person, in fact, Liu Xie could also guess a few points, after all, he was thousands of miles away from Chang'an, and it was easy to occupy a piece of territory, but he never thought that Qingzhou and Xuzhou were the places of the four wars, but Lu Bu could send his only daughter's husband to come on his behalf, Liu Xie was still very understandable.

"Your Majesty, I'm sorry! The last general is also acting on orders! Now the city of Chang'an is very chaotic, according to Li Dasima's military order, unless the alarm is lifted, or there is a warrant from his old man, otherwise, anyone who intends to approach or enter and exit the palace will be charged with the crime of plotting misdeeds, and will be killed! Anyone! "Since the death of Dong Zhuo, the Xiliang Army has obtained Chang'an out of thin air, and the military discipline has also been evacuated a lot, as Li Meng, who was entrusted with the important task by Li Dao, these soldiers who surrounded the palace, the wolf seemed to be staring at the magnificent palace of the old capital of the Han Dynasty, salivating one by one, so that Li Meng also felt very faceless, and was about to reiterate that he must not whisper and leak the military information, but Li Meng happened to hear Liu Xie's order outside the window, and his face suddenly surged with a look of impatience, and said.

"You guys!" I didn't expect that the only edict in Ping Yu was still effective, and Li Meng, the general of the Xiliang Army in front of him, dared to refute it in person, no matter how precocious Liu Xie, the son of the Han Dynasty, was, in fact, just a thirteen-year-old child, and after being rejected by Li Meng in person, he lost his mind for a while.

"Report!" Just when today's son Liu Xie, who was not at all angry and was unhurried by Li Meng's unhurried pastime, a soldier of the Xiliang Army hurriedly broke in from outside, approached Li Meng's side, and said in a low voice: "The Lord ordered General Li to take it with you quickly...... Take the Son of Heaven to the army, Simon, something happened to Simon! ”

"What? Could it be that Ma Teng and Han Sui attacked Chang'an for so long without any credit, and this time they were short of food and food, and they suddenly exerted their strength? Li Meng was the guard of the west gate of Chang'an City, and he was very clear about the forces of Ma Teng and Han Sui, who had been attacking and defending for more than two months, although some of his subordinates had noticed that there was indeed something abnormal earlier today, and reported it to Li Meng early, and Li Meng also told Li Dao at the first time, if it wasn't for Guo Yan making such a fuss, Li Meng would not have been arranged by Li Dao to do this kind of prison boss-like errand. And now, just after arranging the defense of the palace and smoothing the floating military spirit, Li Dao came with this order again, and Li Meng had no choice but to ask.

"Back to General Li, I really don't know the little one!" This herald soldier may have been caught by Li Dao, but after conveying Li Dao's order, he didn't know anything, which made Li Meng really a little annoyed. However, it is unusual to be a demon, Li Wei's posture made Li Meng have an extremely bad premonition, and he didn't ask more questions at the moment, and he could still put aside some of Liu Xie's respectful tone of face before, and ordered: "Come here, it's not safe here, quickly protect the Son of Heaven and the nobles, let's go back to the barracks." ”

Insecurity? I'm afraid it's not safe in Li Dao's barracks, right? Seeing that Li Meng, the general under Li Dao, seemed to have guessed something very frightening, he obviously felt a little panicked, and even chose the excuse so badly, which made Liu Xie, who had just been fed a few soft nails by Li Meng, feel happy, and he didn't continue to play his temper to see Dong Cheng, and he made his body suffer in vain, but accepted Li Meng's so-called kindness very "obediently".

Since the palace was easy to get out, I saw a panic on the street. The soldiers of the Xiliang Army who rushed back and forth to give orders, not only Li Meng, but even Liu Xie knew the reason why Li Dao was in such a hurry, but for the two of them, it was just a shock and a surprise.

"What about the Son of Heaven? Got it? So what are you still doing? We actually fell for that Qin Xu child's plan to lure the enemy! Tricked us into placing heavy troops on the east gate of Chang'an, but unexpectedly, Ma Teng Han, who was not valued by us, went on the offensive, and he didn't know when to join forces with Cao Ying and Yuan Shao. tnnd, virtual is real, real is virtual! Lao Tzu finally said that he was fighting geese, but he didn't expect to be pecked by a small house finch today! It was Li Dao who hurriedly led the troops to this side who spoke, and at this time, where did Li Dao still have half a point of the demeanor and posture of the Great Sima, and he said anxiously.

"Lord, how should we deal with it? Do you want to discuss with General Guo Yan...... "Li Meng, who has never seen Li Dao like this, is really a little blind, but the feeling of urgency in Li Dao's whole person really affected Li Meng, and even his words were vibrato.

"Humph! Discuss a fart, he Guo Ado is waiting to see a certain joke! What should I do if I talk to him? Hum! Left and right is just a group of thieves who will only take advantage of the night to sneak attack, fortunately, a certain found it early, and there is a son of heaven in hand, forgive them and dare not wait for me! You wait to bring the Son of Heaven with you! Follow a certain to integrate the military situation and go out of the east gate! A flash of madness flashed in Li Wei's eyes, and he almost viciously glanced at Liu Xie, who was still calm behind Li Meng, and said angrily.

"Yes...... Didn't the lord say that the east gate was a soldier to lure the enemy, how could it ......" Li Meng's brain was a little unable to turn for a while, and he asked casually.

"Lure the enemy? Today I want to educate and educate Lu Bu's son-in-law, Qin Xu'er! There are also thieves such as Cao Ying, Yuan Shao, Ma Teng, Han Sui, etc., if this lure really attracts a strong enemy, what will be the consequences! Li Dao almost gritted his teeth and said. (To be continued.) )
