Confronting Gao Huan's army of a hundred battles with a rabble cobbled together by the imperial court is tantamount to a moth to a fire, which Yuan Xiu knows well, and the ministers of civil and military affairs also know it. originally expected Gao Huan to be able to rein in the precipice at a critical moment, but everyone was disappointed.

What to do? History has once again come to a crossroads, and the ministers have debated quite a lot about where to go. Some people advocate going to the enemy country of Nanliang to apply for political refuge, some hope to go to Jingzhou to rely on He Basheng, some advocate going to Guanzhong to find Yuwentai, and some people advocate defending Luokou and fighting Gao Huan to the end. Of course, there were also pro-Gao Huan among the ministers, and they chose to be silent under the current situation.

Before Emperor Qiangang could draw conclusions, there was another accident in the Tiger Prison Pass, and one of the Tiger Prison guards, Yingchuan Wang Yuanbinzhi, threw off the gate and ran back to Luoyang alone, not only that, but he also brought worse news. It turned out that in view of the important status of the Tiger Pass, Yuan Xiu successively sent three masters to guard the pass, they were Sun Zhi, the head of Daxingtai, Wang Yuanbinzhi, the governor of Yingchuan, and the leader Hu Sichun.

As the saying goes, one person is a dragon, and three people become worms, and misfortune is fulfilled here. Among the three, the leader Hu Sichun has some elements of heroism in his personality, and he is deeply appreciated by the emperor, so he is more domineering, and the eldest grandson is an old acquaintance with him, and the two have plotted together Erzhu Qunhu, so the old general can still tolerate it.

Yuan Binzhi is different, this person is already dangerous, once surrendered Ge Rong with his brother Yuan Jian, Ge Rong returned to the dynasty after the defeat, and the emperor changed like a marquee, so no one pursued this disgraceful history anymore, Xiaowu Emperor Yuan Xiu led the wolf into the room, regarded him as a confidant and crowned his Yingchuan King, as the prince of the clan, Yuan Binzhi was not willing to buy Hu Sichun's account at all.

That's how the two of them got on top. With Hu Sichun's excellent eloquence and eloquence, Yuan Binzhi will always have the upper hand in the battle of tongues. King Yingchuan was depressed. In a fit of rage, Yuan Binzhi dropped the tiger prison and ran back to Luoyang.

It's obviously a negative runaway. But he had to act as a hero to report the news, Yuan Binzhi saw Yuan Xiu alarmistly told everyone that Gao Huan had crossed the river and was about to besiege the city, and if he didn't retreat, he wouldn't be able to run. Yuan Xiu immediately asked people to recall Hu Sichun to prepare to withdraw from Luoyang, the relationship between the feelings and the family is better, Yuan Binzhi was dumbfounded, he and Hu Sichun are incompatible, since the emperor has Hu Sichun in his heart, then we have to part ways with you, and Yuan Binzhi has made up his mind at the moment. Taking advantage of the chaos, he quietly slipped home and prepared to defect to Liang Guo.

Yuan Xiu and Nanyang Wang Yuanbao Torch, Qinghe Wang Yuangan, Guangyang Wang Yuanzhan and other 5,000 cavalry hurriedly left the imperial city, that night, everyone slept in a temple in the west of the Yangtze River, the Yuan Bao Torch of the Beishe Shamen Huizhen with a thousand cattle knife with a jade seal accompanied. After knowing that the emperor was going to flee to Guanxi, many people deserted, and even Qinghe Wang Yuanqian and Guangyang Wang Yuanzhan also fled back to Luoyang.

Shizhong, Kaifuyi, Sansi Nianxian, Governor Yu Jin, General Wei and Governor Mo Chenshun of Cabinet, General Andong and Commander Yuwentai have an old relationship with Yuwentai, and naturally stand firmly with the emperor at this time.

Dou Chi, the governor of the cabinet, and his brother Dou Shan also returned to Luoyang on horseback, but the brothers did not escape. They planned to go back to the imperial stable in the imperial city to get some horses, but the general of the military guard, Gao Jinlong, stepped forward to stop them, and the two worked together to defeat Gao Jinlong, and Dou Chi Pegasus entered the palace. Forty royal horses wearing saddles were brought to the Western Emperor's office, and Yuan Xiu Dayue gave two horses and ten horses each.

The sky was just dawning. Emperor Yuan Xiu led the kings and ministers on the road of exile. After General Wuwei heard the news of the emperor's departure, he didn't bother to inform his parents and wife. The lone rider chased after him, which gave Yuan Xiu a little comfort. Yuan Xiu sighed: Loyal ministers in troubled times. After walking some distance, the fleeing army met Luo Chao who came to meet him, the team grew, everyone was very excited, the future seemed to be bright, as long as they arrived in Chang'an, they could start again.

After the county, Li Xianbu and Yuan Xiu rendezvous, Li Xian personally took three hundred elite cavalry palace, and all those who wanted to escape were killed, and there were people who kept deserting on the way to escape, so far, no one dared to deliberately fall behind. The grandson of the head of the line, Yan, was in Hongnong, and Emperor Yuan Xiu and his entourage crossed Hongnong and continued westward.

Besides, Gao Huan, after entering Luoyang, found that the emperor had run away from home, so he set up his line in Yongning Temple, and sent Lou Zhao, Gao Aocao and others to lead their troops to chase west, no matter what means were used, the emperor must be brought back.

Gao Huan convened a meeting of the remaining civil and military officials in Luoyang, everyone thought that they would be praised, but they didn't expect to be scolded by Gao Huan, this is not counting, the angry Gao Huan in the name of disloyalty will Shangshu Zuo Servant shoot Xin Xiong, Kaifu Yi and the three divisions of Yanqing, and the Ministry of Rites Shangshu Cui Xiaofen and others executed.

Gao Huan is a bit of a bit of a topic to play, not only dissatisfied with everyone's inability to prevent Emperor Xiaowu from escaping westward, but also effectively imitating Er Zhurong's intention of cutting off dissidents. Lou and Gao chased after Hongnong, Hongnong's city was small, and the eldest grandson Ziyan couldn't resist it, so he had to abandon the city and flee, and Gao Aocao led a strong army to continue to chase. The emperor on the way to escape was very wolf, and the army had already run out of food, and everyone could only drink water to satisfy their hunger for three days.

Finally arrived at Hucheng, Ma Que people were sleepy and screamed, to say that Emperor Yuan Xiu had suffered hardships and sins when he was the king of Pingyang to avoid the war, but compared to today, the hard days of the year can be described as a small thing, but fortunately, everyone has a common hope: as long as the Tongguan pass, there will be Hu cakes, and there will be a qiē.

When everyone was in a hurry like a lost dog, there was a rumor that the villagers passing by the emperor sent some wheat porridge, and everyone hurriedly offered it to the emperor, which was really a charcoal in the snow, and Yuan Xiu, who drank a belly of mountain stream water, ate the most memorable and delicious meal in his life, how can the delicacies of the mountains and seas be compared to the coarse rice at this time?

Rejoicing, Yuan Xiu once again exercised the emperor's powers, named the village Wang Si Village, and promised Wang Si Village ten years of exemption from taxes.

The group continued to hurry, and after arriving at the Chousang Station, Mao Hongbin, the governor of Tongguan, sent wine and food, and everyone had a full meal and solved the belly crisis. At this time, the third group of escort teams sent by Yuwentai arrived.

Zhao Gui and Liang Yu led 2,000 heavily armored cavalry to escort them, and the hearts of the people were a little calm.

The team continued to travel west along the river, but when they saw the Weishui flowing eastward, Yuan Xiu couldn't help but feel sad, and sighed: This water flows eastward, but I go west against the current, if you can see Luoyang again and worship the ancestral mausoleum in person, it is all your credit.

The ministers couldn't help but be moved when they heard what the emperor said, and some couldn't help but start crying bitterly.

On the Chang'an side, Yuwentai has prepared a guard of honor. Greet the emperor at Dongyang Station.

After seeing the welcoming procession led by Yu Wentai, the emperor stopped his mount.

Yu Wentai took off his hat and took a few steps forward and knelt on the ground. A handful of snot and tears cried: The minister can't curb the thieves and make Luan drive away. It's all my sins.

Yuwentai also belongs to the acting school, and he is in tears on the surface, but he must be secretly having fun in his heart.

Emperor Yuan Xiudao: It's all my fault, because I am not virtuous enough to cause thieves to wreak havoc, I am ashamed to see you today. From now on, all my social affairs will be entrusted to you.

As soon as these words came out, Yu Wentai became the chief ruling minister, comparing Hu Sichun, Wang Sizheng and other cadres. There is a famous saying in this dynasty that "power comes out of the barrel of a gun", what else can you say when you reach someone's one-third of an acre of land!

The soldiers shouted long live, Yuan Xiu Junchen entered Chang'an, although Chang'an was the former Han Dynasty, the old capital of Fu Qin, but after repeated wars, it has long been dilapidated, the original palace only left the ruins of ruins, and the decent house of Chang'an City is only Yongzhou Thorn Mansion.

The emperor settled down in Yongzhou Assassin's Mansion as a temporary palace.

Nian Xian, Yu Jin, Hou Mo Chen Shun, Dugu Ruwish and others who followed Yuan Xiu into the customs saw their old acquaintances, and they inevitably had another greeting.

Yuan Xiu officially presided over the court meeting and issued the first holy decree to relieve Yuwentai and Shangshu from shooting. He was appointed as a general, the assassin of Yongzhou and the secretary of Shangshuling, and he was enshrined as the Duke of Luoyang County, and was fully responsible for military affairs.

Yuwentai immediately established Shangshu Province to deal with the daily affairs of the state, and arranged for two Shangshu to be in charge of confidential matters. With Mao Yao and Zhou Huida as the Shangshu of Xingtai, the kings and ministers who came from Luoyang all stood aside.

Zhou Huida was coarse with the etiquette system, and the prestige of the imperial court was established little by little.

In order to win over Yuwentai, Yuan Xiu once married his sister Feng Yi, the eldest princess, to Yuwentai. Later, because he was busy competing with Gao Huan, he didn't care about the marriage, and now the old thing is brought up again. Yuwentai blew and beat to marry the princess home, so Yuwentai added another title: Captain of the Horse.

Yuwentai celebrated the New Year happily. Gao Huan was depressed.

Gao Huan took the Qinghe Wang Yuanqian system as the agent of state affairs, and personally led the army to chase Emperor Xiaowu in the pass, and when he arrived at Tongguan, he captured Mao Hongbin, the guard of Tongguan, and then stationed troops on the Huayin Great Wall, and Xue Chongli, the governor of Longmen, surrendered.

Further west, he arrived at the hinterland of Guanzhong, and Gao Huan did not dare to take risks lightly.

Since the departure of Jinyang, Gao Huan has been on forty performances, Emperor Xiaowu has not replied, and the love is pasted with a cold ass, Gao Huan has no choice but to return to the army.

Before leaving, Gao Huan guarded Tongguan with the head of the line Shi Xue Yu, and the metropolitan governor Ku Diwen guarded the Fengling crossing, built a city on the west bank of the Pujin River, and took Xue Shaozong as the assassin of Huazhou, and Gao Aocao acted as the assassin of Yuzhou, and was also in charge of Henan affairs.

After the arrangements were made, Gao Huan returned to Luoyang, and at this time Hou Jing sent the good news that He Basheng's troops had been defeated.

It turned out that at the same time as Gao Huan's troops sent to the pass, Hou Jing of Xingtai was ordered to lead his troops to march to Jingzhou, and Deng Dan, a native of Jingzhou, seized Yuan Ying, who was left behind, to welcome Hou Jing into the city.

He Batsheng of the garrison Runan could not go to Luoyang to save the driver, and because of the loss of Tongguan cut off the contact with Chang'an, and heard the news that the nest was terminated when he was losing his ground, so he hurried back to the army to rescue, and did not want to be hit by Hou Jing's ambush on the way, Jingzhou soldiers were defeated, and He Batsheng took hundreds of horsemen to defect to Liang State.

Feng Jingzhao, the assassin of Eastern Jingzhou, led his troops to Guanzhong under the instigation of Emperor Xiaowu's secret envoy Zhao Gang, and the local hero Yang Zuhuan raised troops in response to Hou Jing and led the crowd to attack Feng Jingzhao, Feng Jingzhao was defeated, and Zhao Gang fell into the barbarians.

The land of the Three Thorns fell into the hands of Gao Huan.

It is impossible to expect the emperor to change his mind, Gao Huan immediately launched the plan to set up another imperial court, but the style of Yuan Huan, who was originally going to support it, made Gao Huan very disgusted, Yuan Jian thought that the supreme position belonged to him, and he was busy using the emperor's honor guard, and announced an amnesty without authorization, Gao Huan was completely enraged.

Yuan Yan's eleven-year-old son Yuan Shanjian was brought out to be the emperor, known as Emperor Xiaojing in history.

In this way, the Great Wei State was officially divided, and it was known as the Eastern Wei and Western Wei in history.

After Gao Huan's army withdrew, Yuwentai immediately led the army to counterattack, where Xue Yu was Yuwentai's opponent, Tongguan City was broken, Xue Yu was beheaded, and 7,000 soldiers of the Eastern Wei Dynasty were taken prisoner.

Xue Xiuyi crossed the river to occupy Yang's wall, Wei Sikong joined the army Xue Shan led the militia to attack him, Yang's wall returned to the hands of Western Wei, and Yuwentai stationed Yang's wall with Su Jingshu as the assassin of Nanfen Prefecture.

In this way, with the Yellow River as the boundary, the two Wei were first separated geographically.

Next, Gao Huan began the Great Purge, and the dissidents in the Eastern Wei Dynasty, such as Qizhou Assassin Shi Hou Yuan, Yanzhou Assassin Shi Fan Zihu, and Qingzhou Assassin Shi Yuan Guiping were killed successively, and these bigwigs of the Er Zhurong era were finally eliminated by history because they stood on the wrong side.

The Prime Minister's Mansion is located in Jinyang, it is a little difficult to control Luoyang, and Luoyang has become a frontier position after the division of the east and west, and the enemy is on both sides, Gao Huan decided to move the capital to Yecheng.

The biggest violent demolition in history began.

Luoyang was swept away, 400,000 households took to the road, and palace building materials were dismantled and shipped to Yecheng.

The days that have passed for generations are gone in a blink of an eye, and some unscrupulous officials in the middle have made a fortune through demolition, and the common people and even government officials are very hurt.

Luoyang was demoted to Luozhou, and Yuanbi was the history of Luozhou.

Gao Huan continued to sit in Jinyang, and ruled with his cronies Gao Longzhi, Sima Ziru, Gao Yue, and Sun Teng as prime ministers.

To the west, Emperor Xiaowu appointed Yuwentai as the prime minister and oversaw the government.

Perhaps Yu Jin didn't expect that his idea would come true in such a short period of time, and Yuwentai would finally be on an equal footing with Gao Huan.

But can Gao Huan endure this breath? (To be continued......)
