Luoyang, when Cao Ren led 3,000 cavalry to Luoyang, he couldn't help but sigh when he saw the ruins of the former prosperous imperial capital, ten rooms and nine emptiness. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

He also came to Luoyang with Cao Cao in his early years, when Luoyang was prosperous and noisy, with a population of millions, large families in Zhumen, row upon row, and powerful relatives. But now it is full of devastation, people's livelihood is withering, and Luoyang is even more inaccessible.

Cao Ren led 3,000 cavalry to Luoyang, repairing Luoyang City, sending soldiers and horses to scout to search for the Son of Heaven's car, and at the same time sending people to report to Cao Cao.

Just after Cao Ren arrived in Luoyang, Chen Wu also led his troops over. It is said that Chen Wu was promoted to lieutenant by Lu Bu and was Zhu Jun's deputy general, and after occupying Tongguan, Zhu Jun allocated 3,000 infantry to Chen Wu and asked him to occupy Luoyang to the east.

When Chen Wu led his troops to Luoyang, he saw that there were soldiers and horses stationed in Luoyang City with the banner of Cao Zi, so he led the troops to set up the soldiers and horses in Hangu Pass and sent someone to report to Zhu Jun.

Zhu Jun got the news of Chen Wu, so he personally led the army to Hangu Pass.

Xin'an.

"Where is the Cao Zi military flag?"

Zhu Jun asked.

"It's Cao Cao's soldiers and horses!"

"Oh?"

Zhu Junqi said: "How did Cao Cao lead the troops here? ”

At present, Zhu Jun did not know that Wang Yun had escaped from Chang'an with the Son of Heaven, and he had no choice but to stay still without knowing the purpose of Cao Jun.

Cao Ren in Luoyang City heard that a large army was coming, and immediately ordered people to close the four city gates and hold on, and then Pegasus reported to Cao Cao.

Under the hall, Cao Chun said to Cao Ren: "Brother, now our army is all cavalry, if the Lu army attacks Luoyang, how can our army defend Luoyang?" ”

Cao Ren is eight feet tall, with a Chinese face, a full beard, and eyes as big as copper bells, which seems to be refreshing, but he is actually a stable person.

After listening to what Cao Chun said, he asked Li Dian on the side with his hands behind his back: "Isn't there any news of Wang Yun and the Son of Heaven yet?" ”

"Nope!"

Li Dian shook his head.

"Where did the lord lead his troops?"

Cao Ren then asked.

"When I arrived in Puyang, I was leading the army to Luoyang!"

"Well, send someone to quickly search for the news of the Son of Heaven, and report it as soon as there is news!"

"No!"

Cao Chun and Li Dian took the order and left. Li Dian was cautious and knew the purpose of this march, and after Tanma had not yet found out the news of the Son of Heaven, he decided to personally lead people to search for information about the Son of Heaven.

Not to mention Cao Ren, just Wang Yun and others, led the Son of Heaven to the east along Luoshui, all the way to the outside of Luoyang City. In order to avoid Lu Bujun's meticulous work, Wang Yun and others were still disguised and did not dare to show up, and a team of people stayed in the forest on the outskirts of Luoyang.

Wang Yun and Yang Biao are old after all, and after a long march, their bodies are extremely sore, and although Yang Shi Sun Rui, Chong Ji and Huang Wan are in middle age, they are also exhausted after a long journey.

So he rested in the woods and sent people to find out the news.

When several people were waiting impatiently, the guards sent out to inquire about the information led a team of men. The man was dressed in gray armor, with a sword hanging from his waist, riding a horse, followed by more than a dozen cavalrymen.

When Wang Yun and the others first saw them, they were shocked, thinking that they were Lu Bu's horses, but after listening to the guards' report, they knew that the person was Cao Cao's horse.

It turned out that when Li Dian personally led people out of Luoyang, he met the guards sent by Yang Biao who came to inquire about the news. Li Dian was careful, and saw that this person was a little wrong, and now was a critical period, so he immediately ordered his subordinates to stop this person.

At first, the guard lied that he was just passing through Luoyang.

Li Dian pondered for a moment, then first revealed his identity and said: "This general is Li Dian, a general under Cao Cao and Cao Gong, who are you?" ”

The guard said with certainty: "You are really a general under the command of Lord Cao Cao?" ”

Li Dian frowned and said, "Naturally! Who are you? Say it! ”

The guard felt that Lu Bu was not chasing after him so quickly, and he would even find that he was in Luoyang, so he believed what Li Dian said. Then lead Li Dian to the dense forest where Wang Yun was.

Li Dian took more than ten cavalrymen and followed the guard to Wang Yun's place and met Wang Yun and others.

When Wang Yun heard that it was Cao Cao's military horses, he was overjoyed, and then said to Li Dian: "This is the Son of Heaven!" ”

When Li Dian heard that the child was Liu Xie, the Son of Heaven, he immediately clasped his fists on one knee in a panic and said: "See Your Majesty, please forgive the last general for not being able to pay full salutes with his armor on his body." ”

Liu Xie nodded, ordered someone to help Li Dian up, and said, "There is General Lao." I escaped from Chang'an and sent someone to ask General Cao to come to escort me, but I don't know where General Cao is now? ”

"Your Majesty, the last general is General Feng Cao who came to protect Your Majesty. It's just that General Cao was afraid that His Majesty would lose, so he asked General Cao Ren and the last general to lead the troops to this Luoyang, received His Majesty, and then quickly returned to General Cao. ”

Liu Xie nodded and didn't say anything. He had gone through Dong Zhuo and Lu Bu's power to the government and the opposition, and he was already suspicious of Cao Cao's beliefs, and he didn't know if Cao Cao would be the same as Lu Bu and Dong Zhuo, so he just nodded, without any joy.

Huang Wan said: "Without further ado, I'll go to Luoyang as soon as possible." ”

So Li Dian escorted Wang Yun and others to Luoyang safely.

In Luoyang, the temporary government office is also dilapidated. Cao Ren was greatly surprised when he received Liu Xie, the Son of Heaven, but he quickly reacted. He saluted Liu Xie, and then instructed the generals: "Celebrities prepare quickly, and leave Luoyang quickly after an hour." ”

The soldiers led the order and left, and then Cao Ren said to Liu Xie: "Your Majesty has had a good time all the way, and take a short rest and eat something to recover your strength." I'll go back to Chenliu in an hour, and please don't blame Your Majesty! ”

Liu Xie nodded and did not speak.

Cao Ren didn't care, and at this moment, Cao Chun came in a hurry and whispered a few words in Cao Ren's ear, and Cao Ren frowned when he heard it. On the side, Li Dian asked, "General, what's the matter?" ”

Seeing Cao Ren like this, Shisun Rui asked, "But Lu Bu is here?" ”

Cao Ren nodded and said, "What Master Shi said is right. Visiting Malai, Lu Bu led 3,000 cavalry to Hangu Pass, and now he is coming to Luoyang. ”

Everyone was shocked when they heard this, and Liu Xie asked tremblingly: "This, what should I do?" Wang Qing's family, did you say that Lu Bu found out about us? After all, Liu Xie is a child who is not weak, and when he saw Lu Bu coming, he was terrified.

Chong Ji comforted on the side: "Your Majesty rest assured, with General Cao here, Your Majesty is safe." ”

Cao Ren hugged his fists to Liu Xie and said, "Your Majesty, please rest assured, there is a general, and Lu Buxiu wants to enter this Luoyang." Please also go to rest in the courtyard of the palace, Your Majesty. As he spoke, he said to Li Dian on the side: "Manchester City, you lead five hundred cavalry to protect Your Majesty, and the rest of the people will come with me." ”

"General, at this critical moment, you should immediately notify the lord and ask him to send troops to escort His Majesty." Li Dian saw that Cao Ren was leaving, and hurriedly said.

Shisun Rui also echoed Li Dian and said: "What General Li said is true. The benefits of Lu Bu's cavalry, it is not appropriate for us to go out of the city at this moment, if we are caught up by Lu Bu's cavalry, how can we protect Your Majesty in the chaos? ”

"Someone, quickly send someone to report to the lord!" Cao Ren thought about it, so he sent someone to Cao Cao for help, and then led the rest of the soldiers and horses to the west gate of Luoyang, leaving Li Dian and 500 cavalry to guard Liu Xie.

Let's say that Lu Bu led his troops to Hangu Pass, and after joining Zhu Jun, he heard Zhu Jun say that Cao Ren led 3,000 cavalry to occupy Luoyang, so he asked: "Visiting Malai to report, can you send someone to listen to the movements of Cao Cao's army?" ”

"Not yet!"

Lu Bu touched his chin and said in his heart, could it be that Cao Cao has not received the Son of Heaven yet? Where did Wang Yun coerce the Son of Heaven? Why don't you lead the troops to Luoyang tomorrow to listen to the truth. Lu Bu didn't know now whether Liu Xie had entered Cao Cao's camp, so he had to stay still for the time being, and go to listen to the truth first.

"My lord, Cao Ren only has 3,000 cavalry, if he is defending the city, how can he resist a charge from our army. It is better for the last general to lead the troops to occupy Luoyang. ”

Chen Wu asked.

Lu Bu shook his head and said, "The purpose of this general is to come for the Son of Heaven. Wang Yun, Shi Sun Rui, Chong Ji, Yang Biao and Huang Wan took advantage of the rebellion of Ben Taiweiping, Li Dao, Guo Yan and others to collude with the White Wave thieves and the Huns to attack Chang'an, and then coerced the Son of Heaven to flee Chang'an, and now they are likely to flee to Luoyang. ”

Everyone was shocked.

Zhu Jun asked, "Luoyang?" Now that Cao Ren is in Luoyang, isn't it that Wang Yun also connected with Cao Cao, intending to take the Son of Heaven to Cao Cao? ”

Lu Bu didn't admit it, but just said: "Gongming, tomorrow you will personally send scouts to search me around, and if you find the whereabouts of the Son of Heaven, you will immediately escort the Son of Heaven here." ”

"No!"

"Follow me to Luoyang!"

Lu Bu strode up and walked out, and then gathered 3,000 cavalry and headed to Luoyang, leaving Zhu Jun and Chen Wu at Hangu Pass.

Three thousand horsemen, moving like the wind, rolled in, and the hooves of the horses roared, like a flood in the sky.

Walking a thousand steps below Luoyang City, Lu Bu waved his hand, and the three thousand cavalry immediately stopped moving. A guard behind him jumped out and shouted at the head of the city: "Who is in the city, when the imperial captain is here, come out quickly to answer!" ”

Luoyang City is three zhang high and two zhang wide, if it was Luoyang in the past, even tens of thousands of troops could not easily capture Luoyang City. But that year, Dong Zhuo robbed the Han Emperor Liu Xie and went to Chang'an, and Luoyang was burned with a fire, leaving a devastation. Nowadays, in addition to the tall city walls, Luoyang City has many gaps in many places.

In the face of 3,000 cavalry defending the city, 5,000 infantry could attack Luoyang City.

But Lü Bu did not attack Luoyang City. He doesn't want to make trouble, the most important thing at the moment is to find the trace of the Son of Heaven, Cao Cao must have come for the Son of Heaven, without finding out whether the Son of Heaven has entered Cao's camp, Lu Bu doesn't want to compete with Cao Jun.

Just as Lu Bu was pondering, there was a big banner with the character Cao on the city tower, whirring in the wind, and a person with a national face, a full face, and a rough face appeared under the banner, and shouted on the city: "Taiwei? Hmph, Lu Bu is a thief, bullying the Son of Heaven, monopolizing the court, self-proclaimed Tai Lieutenant, also worthy of being called Tai Lieutenant? ”

Lu Bu was thinking about his thoughts, and when he saw that Cao Jiang in the city insulted him like this, he was also angry in his heart, and when he rode his horse to a distance of two hundred steps under the city, he shouted: "Brave rats, this will be here, can you dare to go out of the city and fight a certain battle?" ”

"Haha!" Cao Ren laughed at the head of the city and said: "A certain line does not change its name, it does not change its surname, a certain line is Cao Ren, Lu ......"

Cao Ren also wanted to ridicule Lu Bu, his eyes suddenly opened as big as copper bells, and Cao Chun on the side shouted: "General be careful!" "Pounced on Cao Ren.

A sharp arrow came as fast as lightning, flew out of Cao Ren's helmet, and shot directly at the city gate tower behind, and the feather arrow sank into the city wall behind more than half a foot, and the huge force shook the arrow feathers.

Under the city, Lu Bu's face was light, and he re-hung the sky-shaking bow on the neck of the red rabbit horse, pointed to the sky with a halberd, and the three thousand cavalry behind him hit the armor on his body with a long sword and shouted: "Lord Tianwei!" Lord Heaven! ”
