In the fifth year of the first peace, on February 10, 194 AD, Liu Xie, the emperor of the Han Dynasty, that is, Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty, entered Luoyang by holy car. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
Standing in the ruins of the former imperial palace, Emperor Han Xian left tears. But he finally returned to the Eastern Capital, he hoped to have a new beginning, so he stood in the ruins of the Deyang Palace, and he changed the name of the year to Jian'an, which was the first year of Jian'an.
The name of Jian'an, in the heart of Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty, has the meaning of reconstruction and tranquility.
At noon on this day, Emperor Liu Xie of the Han Dynasty was in a small palace that could barely live in the former imperial palace, looking at the lunch in front of him.
Just half a month ago, the contradiction between Li Dao and Guo Yan intensified and broke up completely, and all the leaders fought under Chang'an City.
Liu Xie, who had already had the intention to escape from Chang'an, was helped by Yang Feng, the commander of Li Dao's army, and with the help of Situ Guo's uncle Dong Cheng, Taifu Sikong Ma Yueyan, Taiwei Yang Biao and others, taking advantage of the time when Li Dao and Guo Yan were beating each other, they fled from Chang'an and looked at the old capital Luoyang with hundreds of civil and military officials.
Li Dao and Guo Yan were taken aback when they got the news, and in order to recapture the emperor and the imperial court, they stopped the infighting and came to chase after Emperor Xian of Han.
Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty was in a hurry to be chased and panicked, so he listened to the advice of Dong Cheng and others, and sent a decree to recruit Han Xian, Hu Cai, and Li Le, the thieves from the east of the Anhe River, to rescue him. The three soldiers and horses planned to use this to clear their names as thieves and become princes all the way, and they came happily.
Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty crowned Yang Feng as the general of the chariot cavalry, and Han Xian, Hu Cai, and Li Le were all generals. Yang Feng has been such a big official there, so he also uses his life. With these three soldiers and horses, plus Yang Feng's troops, more than 20,000 people, this blocked Li Dao and Guo Yan.
Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty finally arrived in Luoyang, and Li Dao and Guo Yan were forced to reconcile, join forces, and engage Yang Feng and others. They hoped to be able to eliminate Yang Feng and the others and seize the Holy Driver again.
However, after Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty entered Luoyang, he saw that the palace was burned to the ground, the market was barren, and the eyes were full of artemisia grass. In the past, the majestic palace was only left with broken walls. When hundreds of officials congratulated, there were mud and weeds under their feet.
And for lunch, there is only coarse grain corn.
Emperor Han Xian looked at the food in front of him and said unhappily: "There are still tens of thousands of people in Luoyang, is this the only one?" ”
Under the hall, Situ Guo's uncle Dong Cheng, Taifu Sikong Ma Riyan, and Taiwei Yang Biao stood with their heads down. There are also hundreds of officials, looking at the rice in Emperor Han Xian's bowl and swallowing saliva.
Dong Cheng said: "Your Majesty, since the relocation of the capital, Luoyang has been barren for a long time, and no one has governed it. Last year was another famine year, and to this day, the people of Luoyang are hungry with grass roots and bark ....... ”
This is the way it is, although Emperor Han Xian arrived in Luoyang, the local situation is different from what he imagined. The Luoyang area is already in ruins, he still has a mouthful of rice to eat, and all the officials in the imperial court eat grass roots.
In short, the current imperial court has nothing, and it is miserable.
Emperor Han Xian couldn't eat it, threw his chopsticks, and said worriedly: "What should I do, the eastern capital is in ruins, and the imperial court has nothing, how can I govern the country?" ”
Ma Riyan came out of class and said: "Your Majesty, you can recruit the local important ministers of the Han family to come to protect you, rebuild the imperial court, and rebuild the prestige of the Han family." ”
Ma Riyan is loyal to the Han family, and this is a good way. Now that the center of the court does not have any resources, it is a problem to eat, and it is necessary to rely on resources from other places to rebuild the court.
Emperor Han Xian asked, "Who can protect you?" ”
Ma Riyan immediately said: "Cao Mengde in Yuzhou, Qin Zijin in the north, and Yuan Benchu in Qingzhou." ”
Dong Cheng and Yang Biao frowned, and said in their hearts that Master Ma was getting older and was a little confused.
When Emperor Han Xian heard this, he suddenly laughed, but his voice was bitter, and he said: "These people like you said, for several years, they have attacked each other and fought for the territory of my Han Dynasty, but none of them came to Chang'an to rescue them. These people are not the ones who rebuilt the Han family, they are the people who destroyed our Han family, and they all want to be emperors. ”
The ministers were shocked and silent.
Dong Cheng said secretly: "Your Majesty has suffered deeply from Li Dao Guo Yan, but he has grown up and can see clearly. ”
Ma Riyan said again: "Liu Xuande in Xuzhou and Liu Jingsheng in Jingzhou ....... ”
Emperor Han Xian didn't speak, and Dong Cheng shook his head at him. Emperor Han Xian understood what Dong Cheng meant, and said secretly: "The royal family is weak, and the clan is powerful. It seems that Qin Feng, Cao Cao, Yuan Shao and others are foreign ministers, or they are still taking care of it. If Liu Bei and the others are summoned, I will justifiably abdicate the throne of the clan. ”
When Emperor Han Xian thought of this, he felt aggrieved and sad, so he cried out and shed tears, "The world is so big, there is no courtier who can help me." ”
The ministers were ashamed, and knelt on the ground in an uproar, "The ministers are guilty." ”
"Report ......." The guard of the Royal Forest Army came in a panic and said, "Your Majesty, something is wrong, there are a bunch of soldiers and horses outside the city." ”
"Whose soldiers?" Emperor Han Xian asked in surprise.
"Look at the flag, it should be the soldiers and horses of General Cao of Yuzhou." The guard panicked.
Outside the city.
Cao Cao came with his army of 30,000.
Due to the dilapidated Luoyang City, the city walls collapsed everywhere, and there was no city defense at all. In addition, Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty also did not have troops to garrison. Cao Cao entered Luoyang smoothly and went straight to the palace. At this time, Cao Cao was the first to come to Luoyang, he was full of spirits, prancing horses and whipping, "The Han Emperor is in hand, and I have it in the world." ”
Tens of thousands of people in Luoyang fled in a hurry.
Cao Cao led the army to the gate of the palace, which was already in ruins, and the only people who guarded Emperor Xian of Han were five hundred royal forest troops loyal to the Han family.
When the garrison of the Imperial Forest Army saw Cao Cao coming, the strength of 30,000 troops was not something that the Imperial Forest Army could resist at all, and the garrison swallowed his saliva in his pale face. He was frightened, but he still managed to calm himself and said, "Your Majesty has a decree, Yuzhou Mu's soldiers and horses will withdraw from the city, and another will be sent to the army." ”
Cao Cao's face was gloomy, and he snorted coldly at the five hundred imperial forest soldiers like little chickens. On the side, Guo Jia said: "Lord, without further ado, do it as soon as possible, and change will happen later." ”
Just when Cao Cao was about to forcibly enter the palace and seize the car, there was a lot of dust in the north, and a group of military horses came.
Yuan Shao, under the protection of Yan Liang and Wen Chou, came to the gate of the palace. He saw that Cao Cao hadn't entered the palace yet, so he breathed a sigh of relief, "It's not too late." ”
Boss Cao's face darkened even more, and he looked at Yuan Shao coldly. And Yuan Shao wiped the sweat from his forehead, and his face was gloomy. Although the two sides did not speak, although the two sides were brothers before, at this moment, the eyes of the two sides were able to kill each other, and an invisible spark exploded when they met in mid-air.
At this time, in the palace, there were five hundred guards loyal to Emperor Han Xian. But for Cao Cao and Yuan Shao, these soldiers were nothing at all, and they could be destroyed with a snap of a finger. But they are afraid of each other, and they do not dare to rebel openly now.
So Cao Cao and Yuan Shao glanced at each other and didn't say anything. Boss Cao said lightly: "Brother Ben, I haven't seen you for many years, it's better for you and me to temporarily retreat outside the city and catch up with the past." ”
The two tacitly agreed, but the heart of the decisive battle understood each other. The two sides led the army out of the city, and whoever won would come in again, and Emperor Han Xian would naturally belong to whoever he wanted.
The two began to lead the army to withdraw from Luoyang City.
At the same time, Qin Feng's army had just arrived at the Chaoge Ferry in Luoyang. (To be continued.) )
