Early in the morning of December 1, the Northern Han Dynasty received an urgent report of 800 miles from the north, and the Liao soldiers went out on two routes to disturb the northern Xinjiang again. Without exception, the civil officials of the court immediately turned their attention to Guo Wei, the envoy of the Tianxiong Festival and the privy envoy of the heavens.

Guo Wei didn't say a word, he asked the empress dowager to write an edict on the Golden Palace, personally led all the Tianxiong army to the north to resist the enemy, and ordered all the Tianxiong soldiers to carry ten days of grain and grass, gather at the north city gate at noon, and march to Yedu (now Handan, Hebei).

Because the Tianxiong army was guarding Hebei, its main task was to resist the Khitan cavalry that came and went, and it had long developed the efficiency of marching with orders and prohibitions and vigorous and resolute movements. However, when Guo Wei rushed to the north gate of Tokyo (now Kaifeng, Henan) with a cadre of staff and personal guards, to his surprise, many generals had not yet led troops to arrive.

Guo Wei was furious, and immediately ordered to send someone to urge, and it has only been a few days since he entered Tokyo City? Why, all of them are reluctant to let go of this flower world?

After a long time, the people finally gathered, and the army began to march in formation to the north. Strange things happened one after another:

After a while, the grain officer in charge of logistics came to plead guilty, saying that the axles of more than ten wagons transporting grain and grass were broken, and asked for permission to repair them before chasing the large team;

After a while, all the cavalry in front of the road stopped, and the horse army instructed Hua Guo Chongwei to send people over to report that there were guerrillas scattered in front of him to harass them, and it was estimated that they were the forbidden troops who had slipped through the net a few days ago.

When Guo Wei heard this, he was so angry that his nose was crooked, what kind of excuse is this? The entire forbidden army has surrendered to itself, who would be so ignorant of life and death to block the path of tens of thousands of troops?

Just when Guo Wei was about to be furious, Wei Renpu came immediately, tried his best to persuade Guo Wei to calm his anger, and directly expressed the biggest worry in the hearts of these generals: Our Tianxiong army braved the world's disapproval to go out of Tokyo, and killed the emperor of the current dynasty.

Guo Wei said angrily: "The Khitan invasion and the country is in danger, how can you be rash? If you are lazy, you will be punished by military law! ”

The order was quickly passed down, and the whole army accelerated forward for a short time, and the march slowed down again.

Seeing this situation, Guo Wei was also very helpless, can't everyone pull over and hit a few military sticks, right? !

On the evening of 3 December, it took two and a half days for the Tianxiong army to arrive at Huazhou (now Huaxian County, Anyang City, Henan), 180 miles away, and camp south of the river and west of Huazhou City.

At 9 o'clock in the evening, Guo Wei, who was handling military affairs with the lantern, received an urgent report from the account office that the rear army's baggage suddenly caught fire, and all the grain and grass he brought were burned.

Guo Wei sighed helplessly, and did not order the disposal of the commander, but only ordered the army to temporarily stay in Lanzhou, and sent another personnel into Huazhou, and rushed to Lanzhou City and Yedu to collect grain and grass.

This night is not destined to be a quiet night.

At 11 o'clock in the evening, Chai Rong led 200 cavalry to the camp under the command of Tianxiong Yaneidu, who was left by Guo Wei to guard Yedu, and did not go to see Guo Wei, but secretly gathered the generals in the army for secret discussions.

At this moment, a group of people came from outside the camp, and the leading eunuch held the holy decree in his hand, claiming to be the special envoy of the saint today, and came to comfort Guo Wei Guo's envoy.

The gatekeeper invited the group to a large tent with a vacancy, turned to a side tent, and informed the general of the army, who was meeting here, of the news.

The tent exploded immediately.

"What saint? A yellow-haired boy, he really looks up to himself!? Adjutant Wang Yanchao jumped out and shouted loudly.

After the death of Emperor Yin of the Han Dynasty, there were four people named in the royal family of the Later Han Dynasty: Liu Chong, the younger brother of Liu Zhiyuan, the younger brother of Liu Zhiyuan, the Gaozu of the Later Han Dynasty, Liu Xin, the cousin of the Gaozu of the Later Han Dynasty, and Liu Chengxun, the younger brother of the Emperor Yin of the Later Han Dynasty. Unfortunately, Liu Chengxun, the younger brother of the Hidden Emperor who should inherit the throne the most, has been seriously ill and cannot be the emperor at all.

And Liu Chong's son Wu Ning Jiedu made Liu Yun loved by Gaozu of the Later Han Dynasty since he was a teenager. Because of this, Guo Wei went to the Empress Dowager Li ten days ago in the name of group discussion, and was driven to Xuzhou by Feng Daobei, the imperial master of the dynasty, to welcome Liu Yun as the emperor. Liu Yun was only twenty-four years old now, and after he learned that Guo Wei was going to lead the army again, he followed Feng Dao's advice and immediately sent envoys to rush to the labor army day and night.

Chai Rong glared at the reckless Wang Yanchao angrily, and said softly: "Everyone's hearts are like mirrors, we are trapped in Beijing, and we are all unforgivable sins, if this Liu family rushes back to Beijing, we will die and be wiped out." Everyone makes a quick decision. ”

"Needless to say, I'll obey General Guo's arrangement!" A group of generals stood up and thumped their chests and spoke.

"Then we will act separately, and we must be so ......" Chai Rong gathered these people together and spoke carefully.

That night, a rumor spread quickly in the army, and now the ministers in the capital are plotting, and when the new emperor arrives, he will find an opportunity to poison General Guo Weiguo, and then deal with the generals and soldiers of the Tianxiong Army one by one.

At five o'clock in the morning on December 4, Guo Wei woke up on time, and immediately a personal guard stepped forward to report that the Holy Lord had sent a messenger to condole, and he was outside the tent.

Guo Wei immediately ordered to beat the snare drum, set up incense tables, and prepare to receive the order.

The decree was issued by a young eunuch with no beard on his face, he entered the account and directly announced the decree, the decree was written with great enthusiasm, and also very modest, Liu Yun praised Guo Wei as the pillar of the country, and the younger generations congratulated Guo Envoy on a smooth expedition, and sent a number of property to show his gratitude.

Guo Wei naturally knelt down to accept the order, and after listening to the announcement, he looked up and found that no one in the tent bowed down to listen to the order, and his face immediately sank, and when he found Chai Rong standing in the group, his face was as cold as frost.

Sending off the envoy politely, Guo Wei ignored the generals, but ordered the army to immediately withdraw its camp and go straight to Lanzhou (present-day Puyang, Henan) to prepare to cross the Yellow River.

At five o'clock in the afternoon, the slow army entered the post house in the west of the city, Guo Wei saw that the soldiers automatically stopped, so he had to order the army to be stationed on the spot and enter the post house to rest.

Shortly thereafter, as recorded in the history books: "The officers and men of the army flocked to the post with great noise, like a wall, and (Guo Wei) closed the door and refused to do so." The sergeant climbed the wall and entered the house, please be the Son of Heaven. The chaotic army accumulates mountains, climbs the stairs and robes, supports and grabs, or cracks the yellow flag to be the emperor's body, in order to replace the ochre robe, and the mountain shakes the ground...... The armies then supported the emperor and marched south. ”

This is the original version of the "yellow robe" in history. The soldiers rushed up, and even tore off the yellow flag to represent the yellow robe and put it on Guo Wei, although Guo Wei was depressed, he was suffocated four times in a row, and he was hugged on the dragon chair under "helplessness".

At this point, the army stopped crossing the river and turned to the city of Tokyo. Subsequently, a big drama full of positive energy was staged.

On the way back to the teacher, under the coercion of the generals, Guo Wei "is the queen mother's stack, please worship the temple, and the queen mother is the mother." ”

Soon, Empress Dowager Li issued an edict to appoint Guo Wei as the "supervisor of the country", that is, the acting emperor. In the edict, he cried out: "...... The old body is not old and old, and it is so difficult, only decay and trust. (Guo Jianguo) carries the provincial note, such as a mother to see, feel the deep meaning, and sobble. ”

What a touching scene of mother and son falling in love with each other!

Just one day later, the army returned to the city of Tokyo, and the old prime minister Dou Guzhen who stayed behind was also very knowledgeable. ”

And then the rest is logical:

Guo Wei sent Guo Chongwei to lead 700 horsemen to "welcome" Liu Yun, and asked Taishi Feng Dao to return to Beijing first. At the same time, Guo Wei ordered his subordinate general Ma Duo to "inspect Xuzhou" and go to "condole" Liu Xin, the envoy of the Zhongwu Festival.

In Songzhou (now Shangqiu, Henan), Guo Chongwei first respectfully sent away the Taishi Feng Dao, and then took out the Empress Dowager's decree, demoting Liu Yun, who had just been the nominal emperor for a few days, to the three divisions of the Kaifu Council, the Taishi Shangzhuguo and the Xiangyin Gong, and sent troops to strictly guard them.

In this way, the Later Han Liu dynasty was declared to be in the wilderness after only four years, which is a very rare thing in the entire Chinese history.

The history of northern China officially entered the Later Zhou era.
