Chapter 303: The city is full of petitions

"This king leads the army to conquer in person!" After listening to Xu Shu's words, Liu Wei stood up and said to Xu Shu: "The matter of the Hedong Shi clan, the military division can be properly settled, and this time this king will lead Tai Shici, Guan Hai, and Guan Qing to lead 30,000 troops to rescue Chang'an. On the day of the king's absence, all affairs in Luoyang City were handled by military advisors. ”

"No!" Liu Wei made the final decision, and Xu Shu and the generals got up at the same time, and responded with their fists in unison.

In the main hall, Liu Wei and others discussed the proper strategy of sending troops, and Gao Shun, who had gone out of the main hall before and went to bathe and change clothes under the guidance of a Yu Lin guard, was full of anxiety at this time.

Liu Wei was once the emperor of the Han Dynasty, and if it weren't for Dong Zhuo's usurpation of power, Liu Xie would not have been able to ascend the throne as emperor. If it is orthodox, the throne of the emperor of the Han Dynasty, I am afraid that Liu Wei will be more convincing than Liu Xie.

After killing Dong Zhuo, Liu Xie had the intention of Zen in Liu Bian, but Liu Biao refused on the spot, and Liu Bian's determination not to regain the throne was known to everyone in the world. However, the Han court did not relax Liu Bian's vigilance because of this, and when Liu Biao left Chang'an, Wang Yun even sent Lu Bu to intercept him.

Gao Shun did not go out of the city with Lu Bu that day, but when he heard that Lu Bu intercepted Liu Biao but was escaped by Liu Bian, he also guessed that the Han court's jealousy of Liu Biao and Liu Biao had become pathological.

has fought with Liu Wei several times, and Gao Shun knows how powerful Liu Wei is. With his judgment ability, it can already be seen that Liu Xie and Wang Yun want to get rid of Liu Wei quickly, and they are as shrewd as Liu Wei, and they will never be stupid enough to be unaware.

Thinking that the Han court could employ people first and punish people later, Gao Shun felt a chill in his heart, and he also had a little less expectation that Liu Wei would send troops to rescue Chang'an.

probably guessed Liu Bian's choice, Gao Shun was much calmer in his heart. Following Yu Linwei, who led him, after bathing, he changed into a clean suit and armor, and returned to the lower place temporarily placed for him, only waiting for Liu Wei to send someone to inform him of the news of refusing to send troops.

Back down, Gao Shun walked to the window, pulled out the long sword at his waist, and carefully studied the sharp sword in the sunlight that came in through the window.

He had already made a decision in his heart, the mission could not be completed, and he had no shame to return to Luoyang to resume his life. When Liu Wei's envoy arrived and announced the reply of refusing to send troops, he committed suicide on the spot to thank the imperial court.

Just as Gao Shun was standing by the window, looking at the ripple-like lines on the long sword, a Yu Linwei shouted from outside the house: "His Royal Highness the King of Luoyang has arrived!" ”

Hearing the words "His Royal Highness the King of Luoyang has arrived", Gao Shun hurriedly inserted the long sword into the sheath, put it aside, and was about to turn around and go out to greet him, but saw that Liu Wei had already led two Yu Linwei into the house.

"Your Highness is coming, and the end will be far away, which is really a capital crime!" Seeing Liu Wei enter the house, Gao Shun was stunned for a moment, then fell to the ground, and confessed to Liu Wei in fear.

"General Gao, please get up!" When he entered the house, Liu Wei had already seen Gao Shun's action of putting the sword into the sheath, he raised his hand towards Gao Shunxu, walked to the low table with the long sword, bent down to pick up the long sword on the table, pulled out some of the sword, looked at the silver sword body, and said to Gao Shun: "General Gao has to kill himself?" ”

Gao Shun, who was broken by Liu Bian's words, and after countless killings, couldn't help but tremble, knelt on the ground, and said to Liu Bian: "The last general will not dare!" ”

"It is said that General Gao is upright! If the general bluntly said that he wanted to kill himself, the king was still a little happy in his heart. After returning the sword to the sheath, Liu Wei put the long sword back on the low table, sat down behind the low table, and said to Gao Shun: "The general's answer really makes this king feel cold. General Gao is probably worried that the king is unwilling to send troops to rescue Chang'an, and he has no shame to return to Chang'an to restore his life, so he has the intention to kill himself......"

was told by Liu Wei again, Gao Shun didn't dare to speak, I was afraid that he would say too much, but he would expose more flaws, but he just knelt on the ground and didn't even dare to raise his head.

"Originally, this king thought that what everyone said was true!" With one hand on the low table, a few fingers tapped on the table as quickly as playing a piano, Liu Wei said to Gao Shun in a cold tone: "But now, this king no longer agrees with everyone's statement, and the general is not kind enough!" At least for this king, it is not kind enough! When the king left Chang'an, Wang Yun sent Lu Bu to chase and intercept the king, if it weren't for the pity of the sky, now that Chang'an is surrounded, I'm afraid that His Majesty will not be able to find a person who can be saved! He has no righteousness first, even if this king refuses to send troops, the people of the world have nothing to say! ”

Having said this, Liu Wei's tone became more and more cold, his eyes like knives looked at Gao Shun deadly, and then said to Gao Shun: "Has General Gao ever thought that this king refuses to send troops to rescue Chang'an, and the people of the world have nothing to say. But if the general commits suicide in Luoyang City, he will attract an unrighteous name for the king, won't it make the heroes of the world laugh at the king? ”

Speaking of the word "shameful laughter", Liu Wei slapped the table suddenly, and the crisp sound of "pop" shocked Gao Shun.

"This king is here today to inform the general." Gao Shun fell to the ground, already ashamed of what Liu Wei said, but Liu Wei stood up, turned around and walked a few steps to the door, and when he reached the door, he turned his back to Gao Shun and said: "This king is a Han clan, and he is born in the same vein as His Majesty today. Early tomorrow morning, the king will personally lead the army to Chang'an to relieve the siege of Chang'an! ”

Dropping this sentence, Liu Wei no longer paid attention to Gao Shun, and walked out of the room with his feet raised.

Kneeling in the house, Gao Shun heard Liu Wei leading Yu Linwei out of the house, his mind was churning with what Liu Fang had just said, his heart was churning, and hot tears welled up in his eyes, and he howled out in pain: "Your Highness, the last general is guilty, I beg Your Highness to be guilty!" ”

Liu Wei, who had already left the room, heard Gao Shun howling in the room, and his heart was a little unbearable. Although what he said just now was righteous words, his real intention was not to save Chang'an.

Sighing softly, Liu Wei turned his head and said to the two Yu Linwei guarding outside the house: "Wait until noon to prepare some meat for General Gao, and ask him to eat enough, and have the strength to return to Chang'an to restore his life!" ”

"No!" The two Yu Linwei clasped their fists and bowed, and answered.

Glancing at Gao Shun's lower door again, Liu Biancai took Yu Linwei, who came with him, and walked towards the back garden.

Liu Wei discussed with Xu Shu and others to send troops to attack the Xiliang army and rescue Chang'an. I don't know who leaked the news, the soldiers and civilians in Luoyang City learned that the army was about to start, crusade against the Xiliang Army, the soldiers and civilians all over the city rushed to tell each other, and many people even sent out a call to ask the King of Luoyang to completely annihilate the Xiliang Army and wash away the resentment of the heroic souls buried in the Loyal Martyrs' Mausoleum.

Nowadays, many people in Luoyang City were forced to leave their hometowns because the Xiliang Army wanted to move the capital, and they returned to their homeland after Liu Wei became the king of Luoyang. Among the people, almost everyone has been bullied by the Xiliang Army on the way to migrate, and every family has relatives who died on the way to migrate, and they have long hated the Xiliang Army to the bone marrow. Someone took the lead in shouting the slogan of exterminating the Xiliang Army and avenging the dead soldiers on the bank of the Yellow River, and immediately received a response from more people.

People gathered on the street, like a tide towards the Luoyang Palace, while walking along the street, the people also shouted the slogan of exterminating the Xiliang army and paying tribute to the heroic soul.

Hundreds of thousands of men, women, and children shouted in unison, and the momentum was extraordinary. The shouts were like bursts of rolling thunder, shaking through the sky, and the entire Luoyang City seemed to tremble in the shouting.

Liu Wei, who was leading a few Yu Lin Guards and had not yet reached the back garden, heard a burst of shouts outside, stopped, and said to a Yu Lin Wei behind him: "You go and see, see why it is so noisy outside, and report to this king immediately!" ”

"No!" The Yu Linwei clenched his fists and bowed, answered, and quickly ran towards the main gate of the palace.

Since the streets were full of people, the Yulin guards guarding the main gate had already closed the gate tightly. The Yulin guard, who had been ordered by Liu Wei to go out to check, ran to the door and shouted to the few people guarding the door: "I am ordered by His Highness to go out to check, and open the main gate quickly!" ”

Several Yulin guards guarding the door learned that it was Liu Wei's order, so they didn't dare to slack off, and hurriedly opened the main gate and let the Yulin guard go out.

As soon as the main door opened, Yu Linwei, who had been ordered by Liu Wei to go out to check, gasped. What appeared in front of him was the people of the city who were under black pressure and could not see the end.

All the people, men, women, and children, all raised their fists high, and while shouting "Exterminate the Xiliang Army and avenge the heroic spirit", they stood on the street opposite the palace and looked at the Yulin guard soldier who appeared at the door.

Perhaps it was because of the natural fear of the palace, or perhaps because of the reverence for Liu Wei, although the people let out a shout, no one flocked to the palace.

"Close the door!" Seeing the people outside who were full of black and oppressive people, the Yulin guard soldier was already in a panic in his heart, he hurriedly turned around and ran into the mansion, shouted to a few people guarding the door, and quickly ran to Liu Wei, who was waiting for him to return to his life.

"Your Highness!" When he arrived in front of Liu Bian, Yu Linwei, who went to investigate outside the door, bowed with his fists and said to Liu Bian with a somewhat flustered expression: "The streets outside the mansion are full of people, and the people are shouting to exterminate the Xiliang Army and avenge the soldiers who died on the bank of the Yellow River, and they are petitioning His Highness. ”

Knowing that there were people gathered outside the house to petition, Liu Wei was stunned for a moment, and soon his expression calmed down.

I am afraid that this petition is instigated by someone behind it, and it will have such a powerful effect.

"Let's go! Go and have a look! After thinking about it in his heart, Liu Wei waved to several Yulin guards behind him, gave them an order, and walked towards the main gate of the palace with his feet raised.

Several Yu Lin guards glanced at each other, and most of them followed Liu Wei to the main gate of the palace, only one soldier, with both hands clenched into fists, bowed down to watch Liu Wei and the others go away, before turning around and running towards the station of the dragoon.

Liu Wei looked back at the Yulin guard who was running towards the dragoon guard's station, but did not stop him. There are too many people gathered outside the palace, although the people are not malicious, it is inevitable that some people with ulterior motives will not be mixed in, and the transfer of the dragoon guard is also the best choice in case of emergency.

"Open the door!" When he arrived at the inside of the main gate, Liu Wei gave an order to the few guards who were standing on both sides of the door with their fists bowed.

Several people got the order, hurriedly answered, ran to the back of the door, pulled the latch, and opened the main door.

"His Royal Highness the King of Luoyang has come down!" As soon as the main gate opened, the sharp-eyed people saw Liu Wei and shouted loudly in the crowd.

Hearing that the king of Luoyang had come out, the crowd that was already in high mood suddenly boiled, and many people even pushed each other to get closer to the palace.
