When Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty left Anyi and returned to Luoyang, it was the end of March in the first year of Jian'an (196 AD). Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

It was to offer the emperor and hundreds of officials in Cao Jun, Yang Feng's subordinate soldiers and the white wave thieves who attached to the imperial court, a total of nearly 50,000 troops, a total of nearly 50,000 troops, the mighty towards Luoyang, Hedong Taishou Wangyi with the local tyrants to drive twenty miles before parting.

Because the army was mostly infantry and lacked horses, most of the hundred officials accompanied them on foot, and these officials were all literati, and they walked with natural ink. The speed of the march was extremely slow, the military rations were no longer sufficient in the later period, many sergeants were hungry, even the Cao army was only able to maintain two meals for the Tiger Guards, and the grain transport soldiers were all one meal a day.

So Yang Feng and the white wave thieves can only follow the road' 'Levying grain', in fact, is to grab grain under the banner of the Son of Heaven, Sili several counties because of the famine, the grain is in the hands of the big households, and the big households are in the city, in order to prevent the homeless people from robbing, but also invited the strong men to guard, but how to stop Yang Feng and the army of white wave thieves, along the way they crashed open the city gate in the name of the Son of Heaven passed, and went in to rob it, whether it was the county or the county seat, as long as someone lived, Yang Feng and Li Le would rob it, even if they went to the field, they would dig up the edible sweet potatoes and vegetables as military food, and the place where they passed was really called an inch of grass。

Although the hundred officials saw it in their eyes, they dared not speak out, because they still had to count on these people to protect themselves, and more importantly, they had to rely on the things they robbed to eat, so they could only let it go, as for Emperor Han Xian, he only cared about his own food, "Dou Dong Zhuo" played well, regardless of the life and death of the people, Xun Yu could only order his soldiers not to disturb the people, and there was not much way, but this move made the hundred officials trust Cao Jun more.

In this case, the speed of the march is naturally very slow, and the group followed the Son of Heaven from Hedong to Luoyang, it took more than two months, and it was already June to arrive at the territory of Yi, Henan, and arrived at the ancient capital Luoyang in mid-June, Cao Cao had already received a letter to lead the army to Luoyang, so when the Son of Heaven Luan drove and escorted the army to Luoyang, he saw Cao Cao and the generals waiting outside the city with a group of elite soldiers.

Cao Pi and Cao Zhang, because they often accompanied Emperor Xian to play, so they have won the favor of Emperor Xian, as soon as the two of them rode beside Luan, Emperor Xian saw the army outside the city and asked: "Cao Zhang, that is the father's army?" ”

Cao Zhang raised his eyes and looked, he had not seen him for a few months, Cao Cao's army had expanded, from the array, the tiger guard army had reached 3,000, the tiger and leopard cavalry also had 500 more people, reaching 1,500 horsemen, and the infantry soldiers holding halberds outside the city exceeded 20,000 people.

Although the Cao army outside the city only has half the number of escort troops, they are well lined up and well-equipped, as long as people with a little military knowledge know that if the two sides fight, the escort army composed of Yang Feng and the white wave thieves will definitely be defeated in one blow, not to mention that this army still has the problem of food shortage.

Cao Zhang replied: "Back to Your Majesty, it is my father's army. ”

Emperor Xian nodded and said, "It is really a good fighting teacher." Then he took a long breath and said: "I finally have a fixed place to play 'Dou Dong Zhuo'!" Cao Zhang, Cao Pi, when you go back to Luoyang, you have to come to the palace often to play "Dou Dong Zhuo" with me! ”

Cao Pi and Cao Zhang even claimed that they were, which made Dong Cheng, who was walking aside, very unhappy, and Zhong Xuan was smiling.

Cao Zhang said: "Your Majesty, the army can stop here, and I will go and ask my father to come and greet the holy driver." ”

Emperor Xian responded: "Go ahead." After speaking, he issued an edict for Yang Feng and Li Le to order the army to stop advancing.

Zhong Xuan took the opportunity to say: "Your Royal Highness, then the minister and Wen Ruo will go to comfort General Jiande first." ”

Emperor Xian smiled: "The Zhong Qing family is thoughtful, let's go." ”

Cao Zhang patted Cao Pi on the back and said, "Let's go!" ”

Cao Pi rode his horse and left, and Xun Yu and Zhong Yu followed beside him: "Third brother, why don't you let Your Majesty go directly to the city gate?" ”

Cao Zhang said angrily: "Stupid! Later, Yang Feng and Li Le Baba ran to Luoyang City, they will definitely enter the city, now His Majesty and Yang Feng Li Le's army still has five miles, and as long as they make an excuse that Luoyang can't garrison so many troops, they can be stationed outside the city, Yang Feng still wanted to control the Son of Heaven before, and now his father's army is close at hand, so naturally he can't give him any chance! ”

Cao Pi scratched his head and said, "Oh... I don't quite understand. ”

Zhong Yu and Xun Yu on the side had different expressions after hearing it, Xun Yu had already seen Cao Zhang's excellence, and Zhong Yu was greatly surprised, secretly thinking that this son had such knowledge at a young age, and he would have it when he grew up?

The three horsemen soon approached Cao Cao's army, and Cao Cao, seeing that it was his son and strategist, immediately stepped forward, Xiahou Dun, Xiahou Yuan, Dian Wei, Cao Hong, Cao Ren, and Cao Chunliu followed, and Guo Jia and Cao Ang rode their horses to Cao Cao's side.

As soon as the two groups of people approached, Cao Cao laughed: "Wen Ruo, Yuan Chang has worked hard!" Cao Cao was also an official in Luoyang, so he naturally knew Zhong Xuan, Zhong Xuan hurriedly humbled himself, and Xun Yu said: "Lord, please come with us to meet the holy driver." ”

Guo Jia opened his mouth and said, "My lord, please take the tiger and leopard to ride forward." This sentence was very meaningful, apparently reminding Cao Cao to deter the escort army and not let them enter the city.

Guo Jia is still as smart as ever, Cao Zhang secretly admired.

"That's right!" After Cao Cao finished speaking, he waved his hand at Cao Chun, Cao Chun raised the halberd in his hand and waved, and 1,500 tigers and leopards immediately lined up, lined up in a phalanx, and followed Cao Cao and others in the direction of Emperor Han Xian.

Looking at the tiger and leopard riding with people and horses tightly wrapped in armor, both the sergeants under Yang Feng and the attached white wave thieves all changed color, obviously because they were afraid of their might.

Before and after coming to the escort army, Cao Cao asked the tiger and leopard to stop, and he took the generals to dismount and salute before the emperor Luan, and said: "Minister, General Jiande, Yanzhou Mu Cao Cao welcomes the Son of Heaven to return to the capital Luoyang!" ”

"Welcome the Son of Heaven to return to the capital Luoyang!" The generals said together.

Cao Zhang bowed depressedly again.

Emperor Xian said to Luanjia: "Well, Cao Qing has worked hard for the matter of returning to the east, and I am very relieved, and now Cao Cao is the general of Zhendong, and the Marquis of Fei Ting." ”

Cao Cao was overjoyed and said, "Thank you, Your Majesty!" ”

"Well, let's get even!" Emperor Xian said.

After everyone got up, Cao Zhang saw Yang Feng's face was wonderful, obviously he felt that he was fighting to the death, desperately escorting Emperor Xian to Hongnong, and then escorting him to Anyi, along the way there were many battles, and his subordinates were killed and wounded countless times, and he actually only got a chariot general.

On the other hand, Cao Cao sent a strategist and two sons, and went to Anyi to protect Emperor Xian with military rations that were not enough between his teeth, and then waited in Luoyang with a big stab, as soon as he saw Emperor Xian, he was a general and a marquis, and it would be hellish if he Yang Fengneng was balanced in his heart, but who let him want to learn from Dong Zhuo and Li Dao Guo Yan when the time was not ripe? Deserved, Cao Zhang thought.

But something happened that made Yang Feng even more angry, and he only heard Cao Cao say: "Your Majesty, there is a famine in Luoyang, the displaced people are everywhere, and the local clans and heroes have been looted, no different from the dead city, there is an extreme shortage of food, and the hungry people in the city are everywhere, they are already frightened birds, in order not to disturb the people as much as possible, please let your majesty issue an edict to let these tens of thousands of troops camp outside the city." ”

Yang Feng said angrily when he heard this: "This general guarded all the way, and in the end, he couldn't even enter Luoyang, what is the reason?" ”

Cao Cao said with a smile: "The general robbed the grain all the way, looted the heroes of the division, and the homeless people poured into Luoyang in large numbers. ”

Bai Boshuai Li Le shouted: "General, he grabbed grain to feed the hundred officials and the Son of Heaven!" How else would we get here? Don't rob it, let alone the Son of Heaven and the hundred officials, we don't have anything to eat, and we are hungry all the way! ”

Cao Cao glanced at Li Le, and found that there were two thousand cavalry behind him, still carrying bows and arrows, his eyes lit up and he smiled: "I see, then please General Yang and his personal guards and this general's two thousand cavalry to enter Luoyang for a big meal, the food is provided by Benhou, as for the other sergeants can only camp outside, but I will still let General Yang and General Li send military rations out, and do not let them enter the city because there are too many people to cause chaos." ”

Yang Feng said angrily: "If I want to enter the city, I will enter the city with my sergeant!" Otherwise, they will wait for General Cao's military rations outside the city together, and they will never eat alone! ”

He said this to win people's hearts, but Cao Cao pretended to be surprised and said: "I see, I see that General Yang's royal face is hungry, but the general's two thousand personal guards are walking in a tiger step, and there is no hunger and fatigue at all, so I think General Yang takes special care of them!" ”

"Hahaha!" Cao Cao's generals all laughed, and Cao Zhang also sighed in his heart: "It turns out that Cao Jun is a master of playing tricks up to Cao Cao and Xun Yu." ”

Yang Feng's face turned the color of pig liver, but he couldn't say a word, because he did give himself more food for his own guards, and he wanted to buy people's hearts, but it was self-defeating.

"Don't be rude in front of the Son of Heaven!" Cao Cao stopped the laughter of his subordinates and asked Li Le, "Then what does the general want?" ”

Li Le said: "Two thousand is two thousand!" I'll take the cavalry into the city!" ”

Another Baibo general said: "General, we have 10,000 sons!" ”

Li Le said angrily: "Han Xian, if you like it, you will take 10,000 sons and daughters to drink the northwest wind outside, people can't eat it, and horses can't eat it!" We finally got these two thousand Hun horses and Hun cavalry!! ”

Han Xian said to another general beside him: "Hu Cai, what do you say? ”

The general Bai Bo, who was named Hu Cai, said: "General Cao said that he would send military rations out, and we would bring cavalry in to transport military rations, and it would be faster." ”

"You 。。。。。" Han Xian never imagined that Hu Cai would say the same, and two of the three generals of the White Wave Thief agreed, and he couldn't think about it.

Cao Cao smiled: "Then please ask General Yang and General Han to camp outside, I will send the military rations as soon as possible!" After speaking, he asked Emperor Han Xian to drive back to Luoyang.
