Chapter 69: Dong Zhuo (1)
On August 27 of the first year of Guangxi, Zhang Rang, Duan Qi and others were in a deep predicament, and their subordinates Huangmen were almost dead, so they could only rob the emperor and King Chen Liu, walking out of the valley gate from the Deyang Hall of the North Palace, and went straight to Xiaopingjin Pass. The ministers and ministers all came out of peace, and did not follow the emperor, only Shangshu Lu Zhi Ge followed closely and chased him all the way to the edge of the Yellow River. Henan Yin Wang Yun also sent his own subordinate Min Gong to lead more than ten people to chase after him.
Zhang Rang and others walked to the river, it was getting late, there was no way back, no boat to cross, nowhere to go to the sky, and no way to escape.
Zhang Rang and Duan Jue bowed down to the young emperor and said: If the ministers die today, the world will be in chaos. I only hope that Your Majesty can protect himself! So they all threw themselves into the river and died.
Min Gong then arrived, drew his sword and killed several eunuchs.
Liu Wei looked at the dead eunuch on the side, and the last words that made him die, and he always felt lost in his heart.
If the eunuchs deserve to die as the officials say, why does the father keep using them?
I heard that the general is dead, and these eunuchs are also dead now, who else is in the court?
These questions have been lingering in the heart of the sixteen-year-old Liu Bian, my father always said that he was stupid, but I just can't understand these questions, maybe I am really not suitable to be the emperor!
At this time, it was already night, there was silence everywhere, only the cicadas chirped and noisy, and there were a few fireflies flashing in the dark night, Min Gong helped the emperor and Chen Liuwang to chase the light, and finally found a few private houses, requisitioned an uncovered open car for the emperor and Chen Liuwang to ride together, and hurried to the house, and then stopped to rest.
Just respond to the folk song: The folk song sings: Hou Feihou, Wang Feiwang, thousands of rides to the north!
On August 28th, the sky was just bright, the sound of shouting and killing in the north and south palaces gradually ceased, Dong Zhuotun soldiers Xianyang Yuan, close to the north of the mountain, first got the news, so they approached the army to welcome the emperor.
Dong Zhuo led 3,000 Xiliang soldiers and horses forward, Li Dao, Guo Yan, Zhang Ji, Zhang Xiu, Fan Chou, Hua Xiong, Niu Fu, and Xu Rong were all in the army.
Liu Wei was so frightened that he cried, and Yuan Shao asked, "Who is it?"
Someone in the shadow of the embroidered flag said sharply, "Where is the Son of Heaven?"
Liu Wei cried and couldn't speak.
Liu Xie, the king of Chen Liu, stepped forward and rebuked, "Who is coming?"
Dong Zhuo said: "Xiliang stabbed Shi Dong Zhuoye."
Liu Xie asked rhetorically, "You come to protect you, you come to rob you?"
"I'm here to protect you."
"Since you are here to protect you, the Son of Heaven is here, why don't you dismount?"
Dong Zhuo was shocked, hurriedly dismounted, and knelt down on the left side of the road to salute.
Seeing that he was still good at talking, the officials immediately shouted, "Retire! Retire!"
Dong Zhuo immediately stood up and shouted: "All the princes are ministers of the state, and they can't straighten out the royal family, but let Your Majesty drift around, do you act like this, and don't let me protect Your Majesty?" Why? Why should I be discharged?"
Among the ministers, Cui Lie, the former lieutenant, had the highest rank, and scolded: "How can there be any reason for foreign soldiers to enter Beijing? All the princes are the humerus of the imperial court, so you can despise the martial arts while speaking wildly? Retreat!"
These words were tantamount to scolding everyone under Dong Zhuo, and all the generals under Dong Zhuo were angry, and they immediately maintained and scolded: "I traveled three hundred miles day and night to protect the driver, retreat? Hahahaha, can't I cut off your head?"
"Who are you? Ann dares to say so wildly! Duru Dong Zhongying has soldiers?"
Suddenly, someone shouted, the voice was very strong and imposing, Dong Zhuo looked at it, and saw that the first person was in front of him, and several generals behind him were all people with big waists and round waists and leopard-shaped tiger bodies, all of whom were the people who were the leaders of the Gongwei and looked at him angrily. The soldiers and horses behind him are also quite majestic.
Dong Zhuo was secretly frightened, isn't this the Liu Qing that Li Ru said?
Then he opened his mouth and replied, "It's Captain Liu on the other side."
Liu Qing raised his head and said, "Exactly! You are approaching the army here, and the minister is asking you to withdraw the army, why don't you retreat?"
Liu Qing is not like Dong Zhuo is a border general, he has been in Luoyang for a long time, and the position he holds is quite important, or the "imperial brother" given by Emperor Ling, all the officials do not make friends with him, and many people who have a friendship with Liu Qing have come out and said: "National help, help Your Majesty return to Beijing."
。」
Dong Zhuo's face suddenly turned pale when he heard this, so he saddled up his horse, pointed his hand at Liu Wei, and shouted, "I wish Your Majesty to return to Beijing."
The soldiers and horses under his command understood, and immediately surrounded the ministers and the Son of Heaven in the center, and surrounded Liu Qing's soldiers and horses around the periphery.
Liu Qing immediately shouted, "Er dare! Do you want to emasculate and kidnap the Minister and Your Majesty?"
Dong Zhuo's subordinates Li Dao, Guo Yan, Zhang Ji, Zhang Xiu, Fan Chou, Hua Xiong, Niu Fu, and Xu Rong drove forward one after another.
Liu Qing's Xu Huang, Zhou Tai, Song Qian, Dian Wei, and Chen Wu also fought forward.
The soldiers and horses of the two sides are also holding soldiers, and a big battle seems to be on the verge of breaking out.
Some old officials persuaded Liu Wei to stop the war, but he was just afraid of sobbing and couldn't speak.
At this time, Liu Xie rode forward and walked out of Dong Zhuojun's formation and said, "Brother Huang, why is Dong Gong in a hurry? As a rescuer, do you have to use swords in front of Your Majesty?"
Liu Qing and Dong Zhuo didn't dare.
Liu Xie said again: "If you don't fight, why don't you go back to Luoyang?"
Seeing that neither of them wanted to fight, he comforted the two of them: "Both of them are ministers of the country's society, and if there is an urgency in this matter, it is inevitable that they will be anxious, so they will go back to Luoyang together to receive a reward."
From the beginning to the end, there was no aphasia. Dong Zhuo was secretly surprised that he had the intention of abolishing it.
So he agreed to escort the holy car back to Luo with Liu Qing.
The soldiers and horses on both sides walked on their own side.
Dong Zhuo saw that Liu Qing took a step forward in front of Liu Bi, and also drove forward. Seeing this, Li Wei and Guo Yan wanted to restrain their horses and squeeze Liu Qing's horse, and Dian Wei and Song Qian also rode their horses to accompany Liu Qing when they saw this, and they competed with each other, and no one wanted to let them. As for the rest of the generals, they all looked at each other angrily, and they all wanted to fight with each other.
Dong Zhuo went to Liu Wei and said, "The first emperor reused the eunuchs of the Little Yellow Gate, so that there was a great chaos and His Majesty suffered!"
Liu Wei saw that Dong Zhuo's appearance was terrifying, and he saw that Li Dao and Guo Yan were full of anger, and they didn't dare to talk. Liu Xie, who was on the side, answered like a stream, and said the matter concisely and concisely, without missing anything.
Dong Zhuo was very surprised, and stepped forward and said, "I, Dong Zhuo, am also from me."
At this time, Liu Xie and Min Gong, who rescued him, rode a horse together, and immediately did not give Dong Zhuo face, turned his head and directly let Min Gong move forward with his horse.
Dong Zhuo liked Liu Xie more and more, and felt that he had a lot of character, so he dispersed the soldiers and walked side by side with Liu Xie, talking to each other along the way.
Cao Cao secretly poked behind Liu Qing and said with a smile: "Guozhu can get his wish today? He once said that Tianjie stepped on the bones of the minister, and today the secretary is no different from a pig and a dog among Dong Zhongying and the country's assistants? Still slaughtered?"
Liu Qing sneered, "Meng De, how do you still remember this! I'm only here for the sake of the community!"
Cao Cao seems to have foreseen that Liu Qing was not a thing in the pool as early as when the three of them were cooking wine on the first floor, and he had long lost the intention of recruiting as a subordinate general, not to mention that at this time Liu Qing was a first-class force in Luoyang City, and there were not a few capable generals under him.
Cao Cao smiled and said, "Guozhu, what do you think of Dong Zhongying?"
Liu Qing said sharply: "Those who mess with the world must be this person!"
Cao Cao said, "Could it be that this person voluntarily entered Luo?"
The words alluded to the chaotic government of the Yuan family, and the intention of recruiting foreign generals into the army was very obvious.
He also said: "One day, I hope that the country will help the loyal monarch and the country, and the world will be important."
Is this an allusion to the fact that he is coming to demonstrate with Dong Zhuo? Or did Cao Cao suspect that he was moving into the army today in order to show his might in front of the officials? Or secretly say that he is not loyal to the king and holds his own soldiers?
Liu Qing didn't know, and he didn't answer, but just rode his horse and led the troops back to Luo.
