Chapter 694: Evacuation of Xu Capital

Since the matter of the edict was revealed, Emperor Han Xian was equivalent to being placed under house arrest by Cao Cao in the palace, and he had not been to the court for several years, and the government was decided by Cao Cao, Emperor Han Xian became a puppet in fact from the nominal puppet, and lived a life of trembling, especially after Cao Cao Jin Jue was the king of Wei, there were rumors in the palace that Cao Cao would soon abolish the emperor and stand on his own, so that Emperor Xian would sit on pins and needles every day, and he could not stand on his own. … Top Novel,

Although the imperial forest army in the palace are all Cao Cao's men and horses, without Cao Cao's order, it is impossible for any courtier to see the emperor, and the news of Liu Zebing's siege of Xu Capital, Cao Cao is also very tightly blocked.

But despite this, there were still a few little eunuchs who inquired about Liu Ze's news and reported it to Emperor Xian. After Emperor Xian heard about it, he couldn't help but be happy and worried. The good news is that Liu Ze really lived up to his expectations, and it only took ten years to lead the troops back to Xudu, and the revival of the Han family is hopeful; The worry is that Cao Cao is ruthless and vicious, and when he is really at the end of the road, will Cao Cao use him to vent his hatred.

Cao Cao's methods, the emperor has seen it, his uncle Dong Chengmanmen was beheaded, as well as the imperial physician Ji Ping, Prince Shilang, Chongji, Wu Shuo and others, all of which were cut by Cao Cao's knives, and even Dong Guifei, who was pregnant with Liujia, could not escape Cao Cao's poisonous hands. As soon as he thought of this, Emperor Xian was terrified.

Since the pregnant Concubine Dong was hanged to death by Cao Cao, none of the concubines in the emperor's harem gave birth to a dragon child, even if a few concubines were pregnant, they either had a miscarriage or slipped a fetus, and even worse, some pregnant concubines would fall into the water and drown accidentally. Although Emperor Xian of Han was cowardly, he was not nonsense, he knew very well in his heart that this was Cao Cao's conspiracy, and when Cao Cao thought it was necessary, he would probably die due to some kind of disease or accident. He has no heirs, so this throne is naturally inherited by no one, and Cao Cao can sit on the throne naturally.

Emperor Xian has completely lived in the shadow of Cao Cao, and his own life and death, his grip, are completely self-controlled.

"Your Majesty. King Jing's army has approached Xudu, and it won't be long before it can enter the city, Your Majesty is saved! Empress Fu also heard the news just now, and came back excitedly to tell Emperor Xian that she wanted to share the good news with him.

Since Concubine Dong Guifei was killed, the only person in the palace who can say a few words to Emperor Xian is Queen Fu.

Emperor Xian made a silent gesture on his lips, this partition wall has ears, up and down the palace. Almost all of them are Cao Cao's henchmen, once there is any disturbance in the palace, Cao Cao can get the news, and Emperor Xian does not want Empress Fu to repeat the tragedy of Dong Guifei.

Empress Fu suddenly understood the meaning of the gesture of offering the emperor, and hurriedly stopped talking, looked around the left and right, but there was no trace of anyone, so she was slightly relieved.

Emperor Xian lowered his voice and said, "Uncle Huang really lived up to my trust. Heaven has mercy on me, and my Han family is finally hopeful of recovery. It's just that I don't know if the thief Cao can still let me live and see Uncle Huang again. ”

Queen Fu was shocked. He said in a low voice: "Although Cao Cao is ruthless, he doesn't dare to risk the world's big shame to kill the king, right?" What's more, King Jing's army has already attacked the city of Xudu, and Cao Cao's general trend has gone, even if he is no longer the emperor, his ambition to usurp the throne may not have a chance to be realized again. ”

Emperor Xian shook his head with a wry smile and said: "The more this is the case, I am afraid that the more crazy the Cao thief will be, I have been imprisoned for many years." There is no longer a thought of life. ”

When the two were talking, there was a sudden commotion outside the palace, it seemed that the eunuch guarding the door wanted to prevent someone from entering the palace, but the person who came was very famous, and the little eunuch couldn't stop him at all.

It's just a moment. A full-body military general with a sword on his waist, strode in, and the emperor saw that it was Cao Cao's own brother Cao Chun, who was in charge of the tiger and leopard riding, but he was sent to the palace by Cao Cao for some reason.

Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty naturally didn't know that Cao Chun was almost wiped out by the Jing army in Ye County, and now the tiger and leopard cavalry, as an independent establishment, no longer exists. What Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty didn't know was that Cao Cao was about to give up Xu Du and send Cao Chun into the palace to escort Emperor Xian to Hebei, but this escort and escort basically mean the same thing.

Cao Chun was dressed in a military uniform, his hand pressed on the hilt of his sword, and he just bowed slightly to Emperor Xian, which was regarded as a salute to the emperor, and said in a deep voice: "Your Majesty, the rebels have approached Xudu, and in order to protect Your Majesty's safety, the King of Wei has come to escort Your Majesty to Yecheng, and please leave Your Majesty." ”

Emperor Xian had long been accustomed to the arrogance and rudeness of these generals under Cao Cao, and said lightly: "Qingping Shidao, how did the rebels come, General Cao didn't hear it wrong." ”

Cao Chun snorted coldly and said: "Your Majesty, you don't have to pretend to be nonsense, this is the order of the King of Wei, if you want to wait for Liu Ze to enter the city to save you, it is better to save it." ”

Emperor Xian was broken by Cao Chun's thoughts, his face turned red, and he said loudly: "I won't go there, and I will die in this palace." ”

Cao Chun sneered and said, "I'm afraid this can't help you!" Come, Your Majesty and the Queen, please come to your Majesty! ”

The Wei soldiers rushed in, and these Wei soldiers only had Cao Cao in their eyes, and they simply ignored the current day, stepped forward and directly set up Emperor Xian and Empress Fu, and left the palace.

There are only seven or eight hundred horsemen left in the tiger and leopard cavalry, but Cao Cao still relies on him as a henchman, and it is obviously impossible to go into battle to fight, and escorting the Son of Heaven to Yecheng is more than enough for this task.

Cao Chun dragged Emperor Xian and Empress Fu to the chariot, and drove hundreds of palace maids and eunuchs to leave Xudu together and look north at Baima Crossing.

Along the way, the defeated soldiers of the Wei army were all rushing in the direction of Baima, and the official road, which was not too wide, became more crowded and overcrowded at the moment.

Cao Chun's eyes were cold, and he ordered the tiger and leopard riders to force their way out of the road and quickly move north.

It is not easy for the tiger and leopard rider to rush out of a road in the chaos of the army, but the tiger and leopard rider has been arrogant for a long time, and this innate sense of superiority makes them arrogant a lot.

However, in this way, there are countless Wei soldiers who have been trampled and trampled, many Wei soldiers have rushed over when they see that they are tigers and leopards, and most of them just swallow their anger, and we can't afford to hide. However, there were still individual Wei soldiers who sneered at the tiger and leopard cavalry: "Such a great majesty, I have the ability to destroy Liu Ze's army, and ride on the head of the robe, which is considered the ability of the men." ”

Someone echoed casually: "I think that the tiger and leopard riders were also known as 100,000 iron cavalry back then, but now there is only the name of an insider in the civil war and a layman in the foreign war, we can't afford to provoke it, so let's hide." ”

Cao Chun's face suddenly turned pale, if he had left it before, Cao Chun would have been able to cut off these rap tongues to feed the dogs without saying a word, but at this moment he was shouldering an important task to escort the Son of Heaven across the Yellow River, which was specially ordered by Cao Cao, and there could be no leakage, so Cao Chun didn't bother to pay attention to the rumors of these Wei soldiers, and escorted the emperor's car all the way to the north.

After arriving at Baimadu, the chaotic situation at the ferry port was even more miserable, due to the limited number of ferries, a large number of Wei troops were stranded on the south bank of the Yellow River, and news came that the vanguard of the Jing army had approached Suojube, and it was not far from Baima. The news added to the chaos at the ferry, and everyone desperately tried to get on a ferry and leave the south bank of the Yellow River.

Cao Chun had Cao Cao's warrant and quickly got a ferry, but in addition to the emperor and the hundreds of palace maids and eunuchs in the palace, there were seven or eight hundred tigers and leopards, and there was only one ferry, which was obviously far from enough.

In a hurry, Cao Chun had no intention of asking for a few more ferries, so he had to divide the eunuchs and palace maids in the palace and the escorted tiger and leopard cavalry officers and soldiers into several groups, ready to cross the river in turns, Emperor Xian and Empress Fu were naturally on the first ferry boat, except for more than a dozen eunuchs and palace maids, all of them were Cao Chun's tiger and leopard riders, about 200 people.

Cao Chun asked the boatman, if the boat is fully loaded, it can carry more than 200 people, in order to ensure the safety of Emperor Xian after crossing the river, Cao Chun naturally has to send a sufficient number of officers and soldiers to cross the river in advance.

However, Cao Chunguang asked about how many people this ship could hold, but he didn't ask about the maximum carrying weight of this ship, you must know that the officers and soldiers of the tiger and leopard cavalry are all elites allocated by various battalions and departments, all of them are strong and powerful, burly, and each of them is wearing dozens of pounds of armor, compared with ordinary people, it is almost more than half.

After boarding, the ferry was visibly overloaded, but no one realized that danger was already coming. (To be continued......)
