Chapter 250: The Emperor Is Sick
Dian Wei immediately went out of the city to gather an army.
The military camp of the Fujiao Army is still standing outside the city, Li Qin has always been careful in doing things, he did not bring all the Fujiao soldiers into Chang'an City, most of the Fujiao soldiers are still camped outside the city, of course, the Fujiao soldiers can enter and leave Chang'an freely, but they must spend the night outside the city at night, in order to deal with possible accidents.
At this time, many horn soldiers have just returned from the city, today's excitement is not only the common people love to see, the soldiers also love to watch, take off their armor and put down their swords and guns, they are also ordinary people, they also love to watch the lively. The soldiers had just returned from the city, and they had not yet slept, and they were talking loudly, and some literate soldiers and generals had also found bamboo slips and recorded today's events, so that they could tell stories to their children many years later when they put their grandchildren to sleep.
Dian Wei went out of the city gate, ran into the barracks, pointed out three thousand elites, he stood in front of the team, and said loudly: "Luoyang is in trouble, all the soldiers and horses are defeated, and now the army of the anti-thieves can be defeated, only our Fujiao army is our Fujiao army, so the Luoyang court wants to transfer us into Beijing!" ”
The chief didn't let him speak, the horn soldiers have never squeaked, but the generals heard Dian Wei say this, but they were all happy in their hearts, the court was in danger, and it couldn't be relied on by others, and in the end it had to rely on our horn army, except for us, no one could save the court!
Dian Wei said: "His Majesty the Emperor asked us to rush to Luoyang within three days, and now it has been a day, and there are still two days left." You say, does His Majesty the Emperor look down on us? ”
The horn soldiers still didn't squeak, and even the soldiers in front of Dian Wei didn't even have a little expression on their faces, and they didn't have any reaction!
Dian Wei waved his hand and said, "You can speak, answer me!" ”
The commander ordered them to speak, and with a bang, the generals immediately began to discuss, and some generals shouted: "General Dian, the imperial court told us to rush to Luoyang within two days?" This is unlikely, right? ”
Some generals shouted: "Even if we can get to Luoyang, we can't fight the thieves anymore, we have to run away!" ”
The generals who lead the troops think a lot, but the small soldiers are not like the generals, they want to think about food and grass, and they want to think about war horses, and they think about a lot. The soldiers' thoughts were very simple, and they shouted together: "The emperor looks down on us, from Chang'an to Luoyang, it is only a few hundred miles, how can we not catch it in two days?" It doesn't take two days, it's just one day! ”
Dian Wei smiled, feeling that he was still a soldier, which made him feel comfortable to listen to. He waved his hand again, quieted the soldiers, and said loudly: "His Majesty the Emperor asked us to fight the thieves, let's just go, fight, fight, where is so much nonsense?" The faster we arrive, the more we can shock those big men in Luoyang, and the more we can scare the anti-thieves, the army that can run, of course, is able to fight, and the big men are shocked, they have to give us food and salary, and entertain us with good wine and meat, if the anti-thieves are shocked, they have to run away, as soon as they run, we will chase, the credit will be in hand, and then go to Luoyang to eat and drink! ”
As long as the soldiers and generals don't speak, they are expressionless, but everyone is happy, Luoyang is a good place, that is Yanjing, good food and drink, fun and fun, and countless girls, if you go there, it is to enjoy happiness, and it is good to live there for a long time!
Dian Wei said: "Luoyang is a good place, it's a good place, we have to go and play, this big man's flowers and rivers have to have a share of our Fujiao Army, you say right!" Brothers, follow me to Luoyang! He should run first to the east.
The Fujiao soldiers immediately followed him, and all the three thousand elites began to gallop in the direction of Luoyang.
Dian Wei rushed to Luoyang with people, Li Qin was not idle, he gave the whole army of Fujiao Army an order to pull out, and set off at dawn tomorrow. Don't bring any baggage, as long as you arrive in Chang'an, are you afraid that the big men in the court will not buy new ones for the Fujiao Army!
Jia Xu is also busy, Li Qin wants to sleep to nourish his spirits, he doesn't sleep, he still has to work. Jia Xu brought out all the war horses overnight, there are a lot of Chang'an horses, but there are not too many good horses. The cavalry of the Fujiao Army can do two horses per person, or even three horses, but the infantry can only be one horse per person, and it is good for the infantry to mix with horses and rides, and if you want two horses and three horses, this is difficult to do, but this time Jia Xu has to get spare horses for the infantry, otherwise there is no way to hurry!
Early the next morning, Li Qin assembled the army, the whole army advanced to the east, he could not lead the army to rush like Dian Wei, but he did not go slowly, in terms of time, two days can almost reach Luoyang, this is the fastest marching speed in non-combat situations, if it is faster, then the army will not be able to fight again!
Luoyang.
Emperor Liu Hong was lying in the dormitory, he was no longer in the mood to listen to songs, watch dances and play games with beautiful women, the anti-thieves were about to hit Luoyang, how could he not be in a hurry? He didn't need to be afraid of other things, but he couldn't help but be afraid of the rebellion of the common people. Liu Bang, the ancestor of the Han Dynasty, established the empire by rebellion, but now it is Liu Hong's turn to be the dragon, and the common people rebel, then he will not become Qin II, can he be afraid!
Liu Hong had never been frightened like this, he was lying on the bed, only feeling tightness in his chest, and he felt like he couldn't breathe. Turning around, Liu Hong saw Empress He sitting on the edge of the couch, and he said with great difficulty: "Queen, hasn't Li Qin arrived yet?" ”
Empress He hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, how could Li Qin come so quickly with the decree you passed on the day before yesterday, and His Majesty asked him to arrive within three days with a large army, this estimate is impossible, in case Li Qin knew that he couldn't arrive, he deliberately rubbed it off and disobeyed the order, which is also possible!" ”
Don't look at Queen He and Li Qin have recognized their relatives, but with the opportunity to say bad things about Li Qin, Queen He will never give up, when it is time to be a long-tongued woman, she has no consciousness to retract her tongue at all!
Liu Hong completely trusted Li Qin, he listened to Queen He's words, and immediately lost his temper, sat up from the bed, pointed at Queen He and said angrily: "Ignorant woman, Li Qin is my favorite general, and he is loyal to me, how can he delay time and deliberately rub it?" What a crime you should be guilty of speaking out and provoking! ”
For Queen He, Liu Hong has long lost interest in her, he is not a seed of infatuation, and there are so many beauties in the palace, so that he has always been enthusiastic about Queen He, which is simply impossible, not to mention that Queen He is a little childish due to her limited background, she will not play the tactics of advancing and retreating, and she will speak straightforwardly, so Liu Hong will ignore her, if it weren't for Liu Hong's physical discomfort now, this time can only be taken care of by the queen, then it is difficult for Queen He to see him, in modern terms, Queen He, the yellow-faced woman, fell out of favor many years ago!
Empress He was startled when she saw that the emperor was angry, but her mouth was still quite hard, her surname was coarse, if she was the daughter-in-law of an ordinary family, it was nothing, but as the head of the harem, the queen of the Han Dynasty, it would be a little out of tune. In real history, it was precisely because of her inconsistency that the Ten Standing Servants had a chance to breathe, and as soon as the Ten Standing Servants took a breath, they killed He Jin, causing Queen He to lose her power and never turned over again.
Empress He didn't immediately compensate the emperor, she thought she was right, and said: "I used to think that Li Qinren was good, but now I find that he is becoming more and more domineering, and he doesn't take the court in his eyes, let alone His Majesty." If Your Majesty doesn't believe it, you just wait and see, Li Qin will definitely not come with troops within three days, it would be good if he could come, maybe he will not move in Chang'an, just want to see Your Majesty's jokes! ”
Liu Hong was furious, he slapped the bed and shouted: "Slut, you dare to talk back, you are the one who doesn't take me seriously!" He was so angry that he felt even more stuffy in his chest, and he didn't catch his breath, and with a loud bang, his eyes rolled white, and he fainted, and fell on the bed on his back!
Empress He was shocked and shouted, "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, what's wrong with you?" Come on, come on, go and call the doctor, go and call the doctor! ”
The eunuchs and palace maids who were waiting in the hall were immediately in chaos, and ran out in a panic to find the imperial doctor, and some small eunuchs took the opportunity to go out of the palace to report to Zhang Rang and other eunuchs, Queen He made the emperor stunned, this is okay, even if she is the queen, she can't do anything to her, but it is not difficult to repair her relatives, for example, repair He Jin, reprimand, let He Jin lose face, this is very easy to do!
It didn't take long for the imperial doctor to arrive, and after a rescue, Liu Hong was finally rescued. Liu Hong was frightened again, and today he was angry with Queen He, and he fell ill all of a sudden, and the imperial doctor hurriedly prescribed the medicine, and gave it to Liu Hong after decoction, but the imperial doctors knew in their hearts that Liu Hong's body had already been hollowed out, and it was okay not to encounter a major event, but when a major event occurred, as long as he fell ill, it was basically enough to choke, but who dared to say this kind of thing? It is enough for everyone to say auspicious words, Mingzhe is the best policy, and even some imperial doctors have already planned to return to their hometowns, they are deeply afraid that Liu Hong is dead, and the officials in the central palace will put the responsibility on the imperial doctors, in case they are martyred, wouldn't it be bad!
After Liu Hong took the medicine, he lay down on the bed again, and muttered in his mouth: "Li Qin will not be disappointed, he will definitely arrive within the specified time, don't sow discord!" "Slowly fell asleep.
The emperor's illness spread throughout the officialdom of Luoyang that night, not only the big officials knew, but even the middle and lower-level officials also knew, everyone wondered in their hearts, now whether Li Qin can come is a trivial matter, the big thing is how long the emperor can last, and the officials are not stupid, what is the condition of Liu Hong's body, who doesn't know? The emperor wallows in the pile of women all day long, excessively enjoying himself, and if he can live a hundred years, it will be amazing.
In real history, Liu Hong was indeed a short-lived ghost, and although the officials did not have the ability to predict the future, they almost all foresaw this!
Facts have proved that Liu Hong trusts Li Qin, and he really trusts the right, on the second day of his illness, there are Fujiao army scouts, who rushed to Luoyang with all their might, and came to the palace gate to ask for an audience, saying that the vanguard of the Fujiao soldiers can come in half a day, and in terms of time, it is half a day and a night earlier than the specified time!
