Offering the emperor to flee, this coercion of the Son of Heaven to make the princes have no advantage. However, today's Wu Zhao has the country of Tianfu in Shuzhong as the rear, and he has two divine beasts, the white dragon and the Vermilion Bird, and he doesn't care much about an emperor. What's more, if the situation today is that the five summoners of Huaxia are fighting against four foreign and nine lords with special abilities, the importance of the emperor has long been greatly reduced. After the initial shock, Wu Zhao also settled down: "Since Lu Bu has rebelled and the emperor has fled, why don't you capture Montenegro and then lead the army back?" ”

Song Jiang smiled: "The emperor's escape to the east is indeed a done deal, but the general immediately led the army back south, and there is one thing that can be avoided." ”

Wu Zhao's brows furrowed: "Avoid Cao Cao getting the emperor?" ”

Song Jiang nodded: "Yes!" Cao Cao Xiongxiong based in the Central Plains, collected all Yuan Shao's soldiers and horses over the years, and defeated Yuan Shu and Tao Qian's coalition forces several times. He has millions of elite soldiers and thousands of generals. His home city of Xuchang was not far from Luoyang, and when he heard that the emperor had fled, he would definitely lead an army to meet him. Cao Cao, Tiger also. If the emperor is in his hands, like a tiger with wings, he will become a strong enemy of the general! ”

Wu Zhao said: "If you know Cao Cao, it's not Xuanwu?" He suddenly stood up: "I want two million stones of grain and grass, five hundred thousand taels of silver, and five thousand horses." With this number, Montenegro counted me as selling it to him. Less than that, no more talking! Also, the Montenegrin army colluded with the barbarians to plot against me, and you have to give me an explanation! ”

Song Jiang knew that Wu Zhao would raise the price, but he didn't expect to raise so much at once. The matter of defending and colluding with foreign criminals was led by Zhang Yan, and Wu Zhao had the anger of being killed by Xuanwu with a knife in his heart, but he insisted on it, did not listen to the defense, and refused to relax. Song Jiang was helpless and left.

The next day, Song Jiang sent someone to send back the news and agreed to Wu Zhao's conditions. Wu Zhao sent Zhang Ren to personally escort the grain, grass, gold and silver, and hundreds of carts winded out of the mountains, and it took seven days to complete the transportation.

On the third day, messengers from Chang'an arrived and confirmed the news that Lü Bu supported the emperor's eastward advance; On the fifth day, Lu Lingqi arrived, cried so much that pear blossoms brought rain, bowed to the ground, and asked Wu Zhao to behead her in public to correct military discipline.

Wu summoned Lu Lingqi, and he was also sour. But Lu Bu rebelled and had nothing to do with Lu Lingqi. He didn't hesitate to take Lu Fang to betray him, the fast son-in-law of Chenglong, isn't it also a betrayal of his daughter Lu Lingqi?

Wu Zhao sighed, and his voice was lonely: "Lingqi, get up." You did not go with your father and brother, and you are very comforted to your husband. They have nothing to do with you. ”

Lu Lingqi sobbed: "Lingqi married her husband, she is already a member of the Wu family, she has no regrets in life and death, and she is poor and lowly. If Lingqi betrays her husband, she is willing to be struck by lightning and die! ”

Wu Zhao's voice was stern: "Lingqi, what are you talking about!" Don't say that again! ”

His voice turned lonely: "Lord Taishan is loyal to the emperor, and he can't be said to be wrong." It is not an exaggeration for the eldest husband to be ambitious, let him go. Lingqi, you came in the dust, and after freshening up, you can rest well. I don't blame you, and I don't blame your father or brother. After them, they will still be my old Taishan and my eldest brother. ”

Lingqi's heart was relieved, and she couldn't say words of gratitude. Under the excitement, suddenly his eyes kept going and he fainted to the ground.

Wu Zhao was shocked and ordered: "Quickly invite the doctor to come over!" He picked up Lu Lingqi horizontally and gently placed her on the bed in her handsome tent. Looking at her haggard face, she had mixed feelings in her heart, and sighed in a low voice: "Lingqi, can I still trust you?" ”

Soon after, the doctor arrived. After checking the pulse, he was full of smiles: "Congratulations to the general, congratulations to the general, Mrs. is happy!" ”

Wu Zhao was stunned: "Are you happy?" Immediately turned worried: "Then does her fainting have anything to do with her pregnancy?" Is there any effect on the fetus? ”

"General, please be relieved, Madame has fainted from overwork and too much worry. Mrs. is in good health, and with a lot of cultivation, she can recover. ”

Wu Zhao didn't know whether to be sad or happy in his heart: "Then, can you judge when she became pregnant?" ”

The doctor carefully checked the pulse again, and after a while, he said: "According to the pulse, the time is not short, and it will not be less than two months. ”

Wu Zhao breathed a sigh of relief, the time was right. asked the doctor to prescribe a prescription for recuperation, and transferred a few clever female soldiers to take care of Lu Lingqi. Because of Lu Lingqi, it was delayed for two more days before leaving the camp and returning to Chang'an.

At this time in Luoyang, Chen Gong had recruited 2,000 soldiers in the name of the Son of Heaven of the Han Dynasty, plus his own 1,000 private soldiers, to maintain the situation in Luoyang City and firmly protect the palace. The soldiers and horses left by Lu Bu guarded the four gates, making Cao Cao, who came to the city, sigh with admiration.

When Wu Zhao's army was not halfway through, Lu Bu escorted the Son of Heaven and hundreds of officials into Luoyang. At this time, Liu Xie, the son of heaven, was sixteen or seventeen years old and quite smart. Helping Chen Gong, who came to greet him, his eyes were red: "Aiqing, you are a loyal minister of the Han Dynasty!" He is my loyal servant! Arise, and I will reward you heavily. ”

Chen Gong burst into tears: "Your Majesty, the minister doesn't want to reward, what the minister wants is the Han Zhongxing, and what the minister wants is the emperor Antai!" The ministers will be smeared with their livers and brains to repay the great kindness of the monarch's father! ”

The officials also wept bitterly, celebrating their return to their hometown.

Everyone surrounded Liu Xie into the palace, and the Han Palace, which was set on fire by Dong Zhuo, was barely able to shelter from the wind and rain after the rough repair of the Chen Palace. The emperor returned to the dragon chair with a lot of emotion.

"Lu Aiqing, please come forward." After the ministers finished saluting, the emperor announced Lu Bu loudly: "Aiqing, in the past, Dong Zhuo was in trouble, and it was you who slashed Dong Zhuo and saved the Han from fire and water; Now it is you who lead the army to recover Luoyang, so that I and the hundred officials can return to their hometown. You are the unparalleled warrior in the world, and you are also the greatest loyal minister of my Han! Today, I will confer on you as a loyal and virtuous duke, and receive the post of a prestige general. May you help the Han in the future, sweep the world, and raise the prestige of my Han! ”

Liu Xie promised Lu Bu that he was originally a general, and if he was a general, then there could only be one who would hold the highest military power. But with the addition of the title, there can be more than one. The Eastern Han Dynasty had no title of general, but in order to appease Lu Bu and leave the opportunity to divide others to balance Lu Bu, he had to create a high-ranking official position. Lu Bu is a person who is easy to praise, and with the title of prestige, he listened to it and was useful in his heart, and he didn't have any dissatisfaction for a while. Excited, he strode out of the ranks, knelt down three buckles and nine bows: "Thank you, Lord Longen, long live my emperor, long live!" Bubi swept away all the thieves in the world for His Majesty, and returned the Han to a bright and prosperous man! ”

"Aiqing, please be flat." Liu Xie glanced at the cavalry general Dong Cheng, saw that he shook his head slightly, and said loudly: "Chen Aiqing, please come forward and listen to the seal." ”

Chen Gong behaved much calmer, took a step forward, and knelt down steadily.

"Chen Aiqing, you are resourceful and have come up with many strange schemes, and you have made great contributions to Yu and Dahan! I named you the young master, the marquis of Pingxian, and accompanied the king. ”

Chen Gong knelt deeply: "The palace will do its best to assist the monarch!" ”

Chen Gong's qualifications are very shallow, although Liu Xie has to rely on him, he can't chase him too much. The young master is the prince's teacher, Liu Xie is too young to have a prince, and Gu'er is a vacant position; Danping County is in the place of Sili, which is much better than Wen County, Hanoi County, where Lu Bu was once sealed. One fiction and one reality are enough to make Lu Bu not complain, and to appease Chen Gong.

Next, Liu Xie named Lü Fang as the Marquis of Wen County, inherited the title of his father Lü Bu, and led the auxiliary general. The auxiliary general is a second-rank general, second only to Wu Zhao's leading general. The father and son of the Lu family can be said to be unstoppable for a while.

Dong Cheng was then named the general of the second-rank chariot cavalry, and he was named the marquis, and he enjoyed the right to open the mansion. The general of the Che Cavalry is a third-level general, and the clear-eyed person sees it as a counterweight to Lu Bu. Yang Biao was then named the captain, and he was also named the marquis. Yang Biao is the patriarch of the Hongnong Yang clan and the father of Yang Xiu, who is famous all over the world. He was given the title of lieutenant, and no one could dispute his qualifications. He also named Wang Yue as Guangluxun, ranked as Jiuqing, the guard at the gate of the palace, and served the emperor. He not only commands the Imperial Forest Army, protects the safety of the emperor, but also is the henchman of the emperor's side.

The rest of the hundred officials also received rewards.

After the reward was completed, everyone retreated. After everyone dispersed, Chen Gong, Dong Cheng, and Yang Biao secretly turned back. In a side hall, Liu Xie sat behind closed doors, and Wang Yue guarded aside.

The three of them knocked on the door, and the knocking sound was three short and two long. After entering the door, Liu Xie got up: "Ladies and gentlemen, Cao Cao's soldiers and horses have arrived at the Tiger Prison Pass, and Wu Zhao's army has also arrived in Hanoi and is heading straight to Luoyang." Will this plan be installed? ”

Chen Gong's voice was steady: "Your Majesty is in a panic, and the ministers have already made arrangements." I will help Your Majesty and become the co-lord of the world! ”

Dong Cheng asked: "What is the co-master of the world?" ”
