Chapter 5: A Thief's Heart Never Dies
Seeing that this group of people said that the public was reasonable, and the mother-in-law said that the mother-in-law was reasonable, and for a while, Liu Xie suddenly got up and shouted: "Quiet! ”
Then, he looked around at everyone and snorted: "You are all the pillars of the country, and even the first of the hundred civil and military officials, but now you are like the pawn of the peddler, don't you feel insulted, don't you feel ashamed?" I already know what you think, and if you are reasonable, you will be reasonable, but what if you are unreasonable, no matter how loud your voice is? ”
Seeing that Liu Xie, the emperor of the Han Dynasty, had changed from being submissive and flustered before, and suddenly became so strong and calm, many people felt a little uncomfortable! You must know that the former Han Emperor, sitting on the court, almost always said what his subordinates said!
But now...... At this time, everyone remembered the strange thing that happened yesterday, and then remembered that this once cowardly and timid monarch showed yesterday the domineering spirit that made the world change color!
Looking at it now, the Han Emperor standing in front of them, with his strong and confident bearing, majesty, is no longer the same.
He is no longer a child, he has the shadow of a generation of heroes!
In fact, these are all proud of the Dragon Soul Pill and the dragon qi that Niu Tou Ma Mian gave him, otherwise, how could he have such a powerful and majestic momentum with him as an ordinary person in the future. What he showed at this time was a dragon power that even the beasts of heaven and earth could deter!
Such a change makes some people ecstatic, but a small number of people are worried! Most of the ecstatic people are civil servants, and most of the worried ones are military generals. Because if this is a generation of heroes, then can they still have self-respect?
How could those generals who were accustomed to holding heavy troops be willing to see a generation of heroes take back the military power in their hands.
Seeing Cong Wenwu bowing his head and saying nothing with a look of shame, Liu Xie didn't care whether these people were really ashamed or fake ashamed, and said directly: "Your loyalty to me, loyalty to this big man, I know it!" However, I can't bear to let you and me suffer this, and I don't want to be a burden to you! If I am here, even if you want to escape, you will not be able to escape! If I am not there, if you can't defeat the pursuers, you can retreat without worry! Moreover, dividing the troops and marching will also have the effect of confusing the enemy, and it is impossible for the pursuers to chase them in all directions, so that if they are defeated, they can directly surrender to the pursuers, and I will not blame you! Of course, if the pursuers catch up with me along the way, then it can only be said that my life should be like this, no wonder everyone! ”
"Your Majesty! This is absolutely unacceptable! The country can have no ministers, but it can't be said that there is no majesty! Yang Biao let out a sad cry and knelt on the ground.
"Your Majesty! The ministers are willing to protect Your Majesty to the death! Please don't do such a dangerous act again, Your Majesty! Yang Ding, Dong Cheng and others also knelt on the ground and begged.
Liu Xie turned his head, and the mission squeezed his eyes, until his eyes were moist and red, and then he turned his head and cried: "I am deeply grateful, all of you love to protect me!" With such loyal ministers, why worry about my big man! However, I have made up my mind, and there is no need to persuade the secretaries! Go ahead and prepare! This time, I am ready to fight against the water! Victory or defeat, death or life, let Heaven make this decision for me! ”
"Your Majesty......"
Many Wenchen and military generals who cherished the Han family were infected by the tragedy shown by Liu Xie at this time, and their eyes were moist and their lips trembled slightly.
"Guozhang, everything is up to you! If you read the name, go and prepare immediately, and set off immediately! ”
"Do the Holy Commandment!"
When Liu Xie's eyes looked at one of them, he remembered that he seemed to have forgotten this important person, this person was none other than the famous calligrapher Zhong Xuan, who at this time had not yet taken refuge in Cao Ying, and was still an official beside him, the emperor.
With such a character, how could Liu Xie give up easily.
So when Fu Guozhang was arranging the matter, Liu Xie summoned Zhong Xuan and asked, "Zhong Aiqing thinks this is feasible?" ”
"Your Majesty is sage, and the courtiers are also happy! However, if the gentleman does not stand under the dangerous wall, His Majesty has done such a dangerous act, but it is difficult for the ministers to feel at ease! Zhong Xuan sighed.
Liu Xie looked at this courtier who should have dealings with Cao Ying, and sighed secretly in his heart, perhaps, this Zhong Xiang has already turned his heart to Cao Ying at this time!
"Then according to Aiqing's words, how should I do it?"
Zhong Xuan arched his hand and said: "Your Majesty, don't worry, the ministers have sent out the summons of King Qin, not to mention, there must be princes with troops to pick up the car, Your Majesty's trip, there is really no danger." As long as you resist the pursuers that Li Guo and the two thieves may come! ”
Liu Xie looked at him, sighed lightly, and said, "How could Aiqing see that the rest of the princes didn't have the heart of Li Guo and the two thieves?" ”
Hearing Liu Xie's words, Zhong Xuan was speechless! Secretly: It seems that Your Majesty has indeed become smarter now!
Zhong Xuan bowed down and said: "Your Majesty Mingjian, if anyone leads the troops to take over this time, he will definitely be a loyal minister of my Han Dynasty!" In this way, you can distinguish the loyal annihilation! ”
Liu Xie laughed, shook his head at the end and said, "Definitely!" But I think that if anyone comes to take over this time, he will have the heart to be the king and hegemon! Not credible either! ”
Liu Xie's words made Zhong Xuan suddenly feel a cold sweat on his back, and he didn't dare to say anything more.
And Liu Xie was somewhat disappointed in his heart, and did not put this Zhong Xuan all the way to Fu Guozhang.
…………
On the third day, when the last group of people were ready to leave, Dong Cheng looked at Liu Xie with a worried face and said, "Your Majesty, I am leaving, who will protect Your Majesty?" Why don't Your Majesty let your ministers stay! The minister will desperately protect the safety of His Majesty! ”
Liu Xie looked at Dong Cheng, who would become his father-in-law in the future, for a long time, before he smiled and said: "Dong Aiqing's heart, I know it very well!" However, I have made up my mind, and Dong Aiqing does not need to persuade you anymore! How can I not cherish my life? Go ahead! Don't delay any longer, stay a little longer, and you may have a little more change! ”
After thinking about it, the prince said: "Your Majesty, you are riding lightly this time, and you don't have many guards, so why don't you let the queen go south with us and other troops!" Even if we are caught up by thieves again, I guess they will not dare to risk the world to kill us! In this way, His Majesty will have fewer scruples! ”
Liu Xie looked at Queen Fu, who was slightly reluctant on the side, thinking that she couldn't ride a horse, and she could only ride with him in pairs, which was indeed a little inconvenient.
"Your Majesty, what my father said is very true! The concubines also don't want to be a burden to the emperor, please think twice! Although Queen Fu is reluctant in her heart, she is still more knowledgeable.
After thinking for a while, Liu Xie nodded and said, "In this way, let's follow what Guozhang said!" ”
"Your Majesty, so, the ministers, I will take my leave!" After speaking, he gently wiped the tears in his eyes, thinking that he should be more worried about Liu Xie's safety than anyone else. After all, Liu Xie is not only the king of a country, but also his son-in-law.
If the emperor in front of him was the previous Han emperor, perhaps he would not agree to Liu Xie's idea so easily, and let Liu Xie only lead one or twenty light horsemen to go alone. But now Liu Xie's bearing and majesty made him have to agree to such a dangerous proposal!
"Wechen farewell! Your Majesty, please cherish it! Dong Cheng's eyes were slightly red, and he reluctantly led the team away.
Looking at this veteran, Liu Xie sighed slightly in his heart, and it could be seen that this Dong Cheng was still quite loyal to him.
Looking at the chariot and horse guard slowly leaving the camp, Liu Xie sighed secretly, and secretly thought: History, after all, has changed locally, but I don't know what effect this local change will have on the entire long river of history!
At this time, Duan Xuan, who was standing behind Liu Xie, said: "Your Majesty, this move is indeed dangerous, why don't you let the last general send troops to escort Your Majesty!" ”
Liu Xie shook his head and said: "Send troops to escort, if there are more people, the target is too big, but if there are fewer people, the troops are insufficient, it is better to have more than a dozen people in disguise and ride lightly." And, General Duan, I want you to fight hard here, so that you can recover Guanzhong in the future and destroy the two thieves of Li Guo, and you still need the help of the general! ”
"The last general, obey the holy command!"
"Gongming, tell me to go down, everyone rest immediately, let's leave tonight!"
"No!"
At night, Liu Xie led Xu Huang and the twenty-one trustworthy elite soldiers under Xu Huang's command to leave the Huayin garrison camp at night. A group of twenty-three people, with simple luggage, without any armor, and all weapons wrapped in cloth, rode out of the camp on light horses.
Liu Xie sat on a black high-headed horse, this horse was the only good horse in the hands of the emperor, but this good horse was not a thousand-mile horse.
To be an emperor, to do his part, what else can he say!?
Nowadays, although there is no such thing as a double-sided horsehoe or a horseshoe, there are still harnesses that are high on both sides and low in the middle, and there are also one-sided pedals with wooden cores and copper-clad logs when getting on the horse. For this reason, Liu Xie directly took a unilateral pedal and hung it on the other side of his horse, turning it into a bilateral pedal.
Seeing Liu Xie doing this, Xu Huang was extremely stunned, but after he tried it, he admired Liu Xie's approach so much that he threw himself to the ground.
You know, at this time of the cavalry, unilateral pedaling is only used when getting on the horse, after getting on the horse, if you want to sit firmly, you can only rely on your own crotch strength, or use the rope sleeve to cover the soles of the feet on both sides, so as to stabilize the body and ride on the horse.
However, it is extremely dangerous to use a noose to cover the soles of your feet, because once you fall from a horse, you are likely to be dragged by the horse and then dragged to death.
But now that the horses are hung on both sides, the danger is greatly reduced, and not only can they be easily pulled out of the horses even if they fall. Such a simple thing, no one thought of it before, this ...... This......
Seeing the stunned hearts of the soldiers, Liu Xie couldn't help but chuckle and said: "Everyone, this matter can't be spread yet, if the Xiliang Army knows that it is used like this, then their combat effectiveness can be increased by a few percent, so that our trouble will be big!" ”
Twenty-three people, each with two horses, Liu Xie's Red Emperor Dragon Spear hung on another horse, and only an ordinary long sword hung from his waist.
Because he, the emperor, is too tragic, and a good sword can't be worn by him!
The direction taken by the twenty-three people is due east, and the walking path is tentatively set as Hangu, Hongnong, and then disguised as merchants, arriving in Caoyang, and passing through the pond......
Along the way, the twenty-three men went out day and night, but they did not attract much attention, because the twenty-three empty horses were all carrying some goods, and they looked like some boy and a group of servants were out on business.
And when there are many people, Liu Xie asks people to put away the other side of the pedal, so as not to spread it.
……………
Three days later, Li Guo and the two were in the tent.
Li Wei found Guo Yan and said to him: "Brother Guo, have you ever heard the rumor that 'the Red Emperor is coming again, and the Han Dynasty is prospering'? ”
Guo Yan nodded and said, "I heard about it, but I don't know if it's true or not!" Brother Li came to me just for this matter? ”
Li Wei frowned and said, "Isn't Brother Li worried, this great Han Heavenly Son is going to the Flying Dragon to ascend to heaven, and he will be in great trouble for us and other henchmen in the future?" You know, he has been in our hands for three years, and there will be no resentment in his heart? If there is hatred in his heart, he will say that when he takes off, it will be the moment when we are killed! ”
"What about Brother Li's opinion?" Guo Yan frowned.
"I want to chase it back so that I don't have to cause trouble for us in the future! I don't know what Brother Guo thinks? ”
Guo Yan thought about it, slapped the table at the end, and said, "Okay! According to what Brother Li said, Guo immediately ordered his troops and horses to return His Majesty! ”
"Good! Li also went to rectify the soldiers and horses, let's set off immediately! ”
