Chapter 39: Cao Cao's March

When Lu Bu returned to Chang'an, he didn't have time to see Diao Chan, Yan and his daughter Lu Qiling, so he ordered 3,000 cavalry to Nanyang to pursue the convoy of the Son of Heaven. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

Before leaving, Lu Bu summoned Wei Xu and asked him to bring the plaster to see Li Su. After all, Li Su received it on his behalf. Wei Xu was originally the general of the Tiger Ben, Li Su was the ruling Jinwu, and it was Wei Xu who was responsible for guarding the palace. Because Wei Xu went north to pick up his family, this guarding the palace naturally fell on Li Su's head.

Li Su is Lu Bu's fellow villager, for the sake of his fellow villagers, Lu Bu did not kill Li Su. After hurriedly instructing Wei Xu, he went to the military camp outside the city.

The sky was just about to dawn, and Lu Bu didn't have time to rest, so he had to recover the Son of Heaven.

LΓΌ Buliu Zhang Liao led the 30,000 Xiliang soldiers to guard Chang'an, and appointed Jia Xu as the governor of Taiwei Mansion to assist Zhang Liao in guarding Chang'an. He took Xu Huang, Zhang Ji, Zhang Xiu, Hou Cheng, and Song Xian to the south to pursue the Son of Heaven's convoy.

When the army came out of Chang'an, Lu Bu scattered and sent scouts to listen all the way.

The flowers bloom two and each show a branch, and say Cao Cao's side. In the spring of the third year of Chuping, when LΓΌ Bu killed Dong Zhuo in Chang'an, Cao Cao was fighting against the Yellow Turban Army in Juye.

And just a few days ago, Cao Cao was resting in the big tent, and suddenly Xun Yu ran in in a hurry. Xun Yu, who has always been steady, categorically can't do this, and he must have encountered something urgent today. Could it be that something happened to Chen Liu?

Chen Liuke is his own old bottom, and his family is all in Chen Liu.

Cao Cao hurriedly put on his boots and ordered someone to serve tea to Xun Yu.

Xun Yu is about thirty-five years old, with clear eyebrows and beautiful eyes, graceful and graceful, and three strands of beard under his chin. Xun Yu didn't have time to drink tea, but solemnly said to Cao Cao: "Lord, there is an emergency military situation!" As he spoke, he handed over a piece of information.

Cao Cao's heart was cold, could it be that there was something wrong with Chen. Cao Cao took the information from the hands of the guards, read it carefully, and when he read it, he made sure that it was not Chen Liu's fault, so he relaxed a lot. But this piece of information also carries a lot of weight.

It turned out that Wang Yun secretly sent someone to contact Cao Cao and asked him to lead his troops to Chang'an to meet the Son of Heaven.

After Cao Cao read the information, he asked Xun Yu: "Is what Wang Yun said deceitful?" ”

Xun Yu said: "Lord, what Wang Yun said must be true!" Then Xun Yu analyzed for Cao Cao: "Lu Bu was born in the army, and Wang Yun was born in a scholar family, and he thinks very highly of himself, although he and Lu Bu murdered Dong Zhuo, but he regarded Lu Bu as just a swordsman, and looked down on Lu Bu's background even more, so the two fought for power and profit in the court. Lu Bu monopolized the government and belittled Wang Yun, didn't Wang Yun hate? At that time, Lu Bu was in Chang'an, Wang Yun did not dare to have any plans, and when Lu Bu left Chang'an and fought with Li Dao and Guo Yan in the Tongguan area, Wang Yun would inevitably plot to escape. So this information is absolutely true. ”

Cao Cao nodded and said, "What Wen Ruo said is very conscientious. But Cao is hesitant to welcome the Son of Heaven, can Wen You solve my doubts? ”

Xun You said eloquently: "In the past Jin Dynasty, the Duke of Wen accepted King Xiang of Zhou, and the princes obeyed; Han Gaozu mourned for the righteous emperor, and the world returned to the heart. Today, the son is covered with dust, and the general Cheng is the first to advocate volunteers at this time, and the Son of Heaven is expected by the public, and the strategy of the world is also. If you don't plan early, people will do it before me. ”

Cao Cao was overjoyed when he heard this, this is the business of the king, so he decided to lead the troops into the pass to welcome the Son of Heaven into Chenliu. At that moment, he ordered someone to summon Guo Jia, Xi Zhicai, Cheng Yu, Xiahou Yuan, Xiahou Yuan, Xiahou Dun, Cao Ren, Cao Hong and other strategists and generals to discuss strategies.

Guo Jianian is about 30, eight feet tall, with clear eyebrows and beautiful eyes, and a clear figure.

After hearing this, Guo Jia praised: "Wen Ruo's words are very good. The lord should quickly lead the troops into the pass. ”

After Guo Jia finished speaking, Cheng Yu, who was eight feet tall, had a resolute face, was handsome, and his body was stronger than Guo Jia, and he touched the three-foot beautiful hair under his chin and said: "What Feng Xiao said is very true. However, in Yu's opinion, this matter is not so simple. Not to mention anything else, let's just say how the lord led the troops into the customs? We are now in Juye, and it will take more than ten days to travel all the way to Chang'an without stopping. If our army led the army into the pass, how could Lu Bu not notice it? ”

Guo Jia said with a smile: "So you have to be a soldier and fast, and you can't bring more soldiers and horses!" ”

Cao Cao frowned and said, "If you can't bring more soldiers and horses, in case Lu Bu leads the troops to chase after you, what should I do?" You must know that Lu Bu is now fighting with Li Dao and Guo Yan in the Tongguan area. ”

Guo Jia smiled: "Lord, don't worry. Now he quickly sent a group of soldiers and horses to Guanzhong to find out the news of Wang Yun and the Son of Heaven, and then the lord led the army to respond. If Lu Bu leads troops to pursue, our army can also have a large army to respond. ”

Cao Cao nodded, so he sent Cao Ren as a general, with Cao Chun and Li Dian as deputy generals, and led 3,000 cavalry to Luoyang quickly, so that if he found out the news of Wang Yun, he would immediately escort him to Chenliu.

Cao Ren took the order and left.

Later, Cao Cao left Cao Hong and Xi Zhicai, led 10,000 troops to Juye, exterminated the Yellow Turban Army, and brought 30,000 soldiers and horses back to Chenliu.

Let's say that Wang Yun, after escorting the Son of Heaven out of the south gate of Chang'an, in order to hide people's eyes, asked Liu Xie to change into civilian clothes, and he and Yang Biao, Shi Sun Rui, Huang Wan, Chong Ji and others also changed into the clothes of merchants, and then a group of guards raised by various prefectures dressed as merchants' guards and escorted several people on the road. Wang Yun had already ordered people to prepare some more carriages and horses on the outskirts of Chang'an City.

As soon as a few people left Chang'an, they made all their plans, a group of people set up a carriage to the west, and a group of people drove to the south. Wang Yun and a few others drove south first, and then turned around and went to Hongnong County.

Yang Biao was born in the Yang family, a large family of Hongnong, and the Yang family is a famous family in Hongnong County, and its power is intertwined. When Yang Biao and the others left Chang'an, they went straight to Hongnong. Yang Biao had already notified the Yang family in advance, asking him to answer and secretly escort the others to Luoyang.

Because Lu Bu is leading his troops to fight with Li Dao and Guo Yan in the Tongguan area, if Lu Bu discovers his traces, he will definitely lead troops to chase him.

Wang Yun rode on his horse and said worriedly: "I wonder if Cao Mengde will send troops to meet us?" After all, although he knew Cao Cao, Wang Yun didn't know Cao Cao.

The reason why Cao Cao was chosen at the beginning was that everyone thought that Cao Cao had the Han family in mind and was a capable minister who ruled the world. Compared with Yuan Shao, when he was in Luoyang, Cao Cao dared to assassinate Dong Zhuo, which shows that Cao Cao was a person loyal to the Han family.

But now Cao Cao is in the Yanzhou area, far away from here, and now that their party has not yet left the division, they may be found at any time.

Several people discussed in a whisper on the horse, and Liu Xie sat on a horse, his expression was wooden, and there was no joy on his pink little face. On both sides of the road, the trees are lush, the grass is green, and the faint fragrance wafts in, exuding the breath of life in spring.

Liu Xie looked at the butterflies flying on both sides, and asked casually: "Aiqing, you say, how good would it be if I flew freely like this butterfly?" ”

Wang Yun was stunned for a moment, and then said hatefully: "Your Majesty, I only hate that Lu Bu and Dong Zhuo, both of whom are ambitious people. ”

"What about Cao Cao?"

Liu Xie asked casually again.

"This?" Wang Yun couldn't answer.

Yang Biao sighed and said, "Your Majesty, don't think about it. Although the old ministers are in their last years, they will not hesitate to sacrifice their bodies for the sake of His Majesty and the Han family! What's more, Cao Cao, when the old man was in Luoyang, he saw this person. This man has great ambitions, and most importantly, he has a big man in his heart. ”

"Really?"

Liu Xie's immature face showed disbelief. Although he is only ten years old, Liu Xie's old age and stability have also become wooden by themselves.

The crowd did not say much, but after walking for two or three miles, suddenly a group of people came in front of them, and the leader was a fluttering young man, about eighteen years old.

He rode to him, and when he saw Yang Biao, he called: "The child has seen his father!" ”

When Yang Biao saw his son Yang Xiu, Lao Huai was relieved and hurriedly asked Yang Xiu to meet Liu Xie.

Liu Xie nodded slightly, indicating that there was no need to be polite.

Yang Xiu couldn't help but glance at Liu Xie curiously, he was in Hongnong, but he had never been to Luoyang Chang'an, so naturally he had never seen the Son of Heaven. However, after he glanced at the Son of Heaven, he secretly said in his heart: Although the Son of Heaven is young and courteous for several weeks, if there is turmoil today, the princes are fighting, and the Son of Heaven has no power and power, how can he restore the Han family. When his father went to Cao Cao, he must not be able to help the Son of Heaven regain control of the court.

Yang Biao pointed to Huang Wan, Shi Sun Rui, Chong Ji, and Wang Yun to introduce Yang Xiu. Yang Xiu also respectfully called out to his uncle and uncle one by one.

Then Yang Xiu said: "After receiving the letter from my father, the child has prepared everything!" Lu Bu is now in Tongguan, and while he has not yet discovered the whereabouts of the Son of Heaven, his father should go to Luoyang as soon as possible. Cao Cao must have sent troops to Luoyang after receiving the letter, so I had already sent someone to tell Cao Cao first. Let Cao Cao answer the Son of Heaven in Luoyang. ”

Yang Biao was very satisfied, and then several people also invited Liu Xie, and Liu Xie nodded in agreement. It's just that Yang Xiu said: "Father, be more careful when you go, and the child will go back to Hongnong County first." ”

Yang Biao nodded and said, "It's okay, there is Xiu'er to take care of the family, and I can rest assured for my father." ”

Yang Xiu bid farewell to his father and rode to Hongnong County. Yang Xiu prepared the boat in advance, and Wang Yun, Yang Biao and the guards got on the boat and went to Luoyang along the Luoshui.

Next, on Lu Bu's side, Lu Bu led the troops all the way south, and when he was halfway through, Li Ru's military situation suddenly came from Chang'an. It turned out that Cao Cao sent Cao Ren to lead 3,000 cavalry to Luoyang, Zhu Junzheng led the troops to exterminate the remnants of Li Dao's army, occupied Tongguan, and then sent Chen Wu to lead 3,000 troops to Luoyang, intending to seize Luoyang first.

Zhu Jun knew that Cao Cao had suddenly sent troops to come, so he sent someone to inform Chang'an, and he then ordered the army to come to Luoyang.

Lu Bu received a military message from Zhu Jun halfway and immediately stopped his trip south. The south side is the Great Scattered Pass, guarded by Huangfu Song, if Wang Yun goes to Nanyang, he will definitely pass through the Great Scattered Pass.

Cao Cao originally confronted the Yellow Turban Army in Juye, Shandong, and suddenly led the troops to Luoyang, no, Lu Bu suddenly woke up, and in the dream it was Li Dao and Guo Yan who were fighting each other in Chang'an, giving Cao Cao an opportunity to lead the troops to Luoyang, seize the opportunity, and rob the Son of Heaven.

LΓΌ Bu immediately sent someone to order Huangfu Song of Wuguan in the south to pay attention to Wang Yun and others, and then immediately ordered 3,000 cavalry to come to Luoyang.

Perhaps it was providence, when Lu Bu passed through Hongnong to the east, it happened that Wang Yun and others were escorted by Yang Xiu to go down the Luoshui River to Luoyang.

As for who can compete for the Son of Heaven between Cao Cao and Lu Bu, please continue to look down.
