Chapter 278: The Son of Heaven fell into the hands of thieves, and Li Dao took advantage of the situation to attack
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 man-made disasters and natural disasters in the fluctuating Han Dynasty have continued one after another, but it has made 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 that he talks about is unreasonable with the thief. In Liu Xie's thinking in the past two years, if Lu Bu hadn't run away with a cold heart that day. If he insisted on Chang'an, maybe he would not have been led by the two thieves Li Dao and Guo Yan to lead the 200,000 remnants of the Xiliang Army that was forced to rebel by Wang Yun, and blatantly broke through the city pass, and Chang'an was martyred, even he, the emperor, could only fall to the point of sending people under the fence.
Liu Xie understood very well that in the eyes of the Xiliang Army led by Li Wei and Guo Yan, the Son of Heaven of the Han Dynasty was nothing more than a talisman and a tiger skin. Where will there be half a point of the so-called Son of Heaven? But Liu Xie is very cooperative, even after meeting for a year, under the mediation of Dong Cheng. Li Dao, who was still guarding his duty, also sent his own cronies Li Meng to forcibly break into the palace with a large group of Xiliang soldiers, claiming that there were thieves in Chang'an to make trouble, in order to protect the safety of the Son of Heaven. It will not make Liu Xie panic and lose the ridiculous excuse of prestige. Entering the palace privately, nearly 1,000 people leaked Liu Xie's bedroom to the periphery, but Liu Xie didn't know what to think, just indifferently looked at the little daughter of the Dong family who was sent by Dong Cheng around him, but only knew that the little daughter of the Dong family who was secretly weeping was allowed to let Li Meng's soldiers shout loudly in the forbidden palace, and they didn't pay attention to it.
But. From these whispered discussions that should have been cut by a thousand knives and annihilated the nine clans, the Xiliang thief soldiers were quite panicked. 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 government decree was because the princes were discussing Yuan Shao, the leader of the Dong League, and Cao Cao, 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, 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 few days ago, and made it clear that he was the one who sent the world and gave Xuzhou to Xuzhou. And what made Liu Xie even more ecstatic was that this kid was so capable of fighting, not only in just a few hours, but also took the Xiongguan Tongguan Pass, which was not captured by Cao Caoyueyu, the general of the battlefield, directly, but also at this time in the east of Chang'an City, he also opened a posture to meet the west gate of the west of the city, Ma Teng Han Sui, and attacked the west gate, according to the soldiers of the Xiliang Army, they had 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 Cao and Qin Xu, the assassin of Xuzhou who came on behalf of Lu Bulai. In Liu Xie's eyes, Cao Cao is a great loyal minister, there is no doubt about this. From the fight against the Yellow Turban, to the eunuch rebellion, and then to Dong Zhuo's power, only Lao Cao dared to commit himself to the enemy camp and assassinate the thief alone, only Lao Cao dared to come to the aid alone when the heroes were tied under 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, had almost forgotten what Cao Cao looked like, but after the former eunuch, he was also full of good feelings. 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 was able to send his only daughter's husband to come on his behalf, and Liu Xie was still very understandable.
"Your Majesty, I'm sorry! The last general is also acting on orders! Now there is chaos in Chang'an City. According to Li Da Sima's military order, unless the alarm is lifted, or there is a warrant from his old man, anyone who tries to approach or enter or leave the palace will be punished for the crime of conspiracy and killed! Anyone! "The Western Liang Army has been since Dong Zhuo's death. After getting Chang'an out of thin air, the military discipline was also evacuated a lot, as Li Meng, who was entrusted with the important task by Li Dao. These soldiers who surrounded the palace were staring at the magnificent palace of the old capital of the Han Dynasty like wolves, salivating one by one, which made Li Meng feel very faceless. Just about to reiterate that there is no need to whisper. When the military information was leaked, it happened to be Li Meng outside the window to hear Liu Xie's order, and a look of impatience suddenly appeared on his face, and he said.
"You guys!" I didn't expect that the only edict I had on weekdays that was still effective, and Li Meng, the general of the Xiliang Army in front of me, 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, after being rejected by Li Meng in person. I lost my mind for a while.
"Report!" Just when today's son Liu Xie had no temper at all when his ambition was unhurried by Li Meng's 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 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 originally the general 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 to make 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 I didn't know when to join forces with Cao Cao and Yuan Shao. TNND, virtual is real, real is virtual! Lao Tzu hunts geese all day long, but I 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 Cao, 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......)
