As soon as the news of the defeat of the Northern Barbarians spread, Luoyang City was full of jubilation, but the people didn't have time to laugh, and the news came from the palace that the new emperor had escaped from Luoyang City from the secret passage long before the Northern Barbarians called!

The city was in an uproar.

All are talking about the truth or falsity of this news.

There was also panic in the palace, and the queen quietly called the prince to ask, "Do you think this news is credible?" ”

The prince frowned and replied, "The secret path is true." ”

The queen sneered desolately, "That news should be true." Hou Ye is so ruthless, at a critical moment, he actually abandoned you, my mother and son in this dead city! ”

Although the Marquis of Jin Anhou has ascended the throne as the emperor, as an old wife, when the queen is gone, she will still call her husband the old title.

The crown prince swallowed the yellow lotus in his mouth, "No wonder no matter how my son asks to see him recently, he can only see the little eunuch who is serving his father closely, it turns out that he is no longer in this palace!" ”

Thinking of the many pressures he had endured in the past few days when the Northern Barbarians had called, trembling and unable to sleep at night, the prince had an unprecedented hatred for his father who abandoned his wife and children.

Sure enough, the royal family has no father and son!

"Mother, we must leave as soon as possible."

The father wanted them to stay in this dead city and drag the barbarians, but everyone was life-sparing, and the prince was unwilling to use his life to fulfill his filial piety to his ruthless father!

The queen frowned hesitantly, "Why are you leaving?" Isn't the Northern Barbarian already defeated? Just called your father back, and with this guilt of being abandoned, your father will not touch your crown prince until he dies......"

"The Northern Barbarians were just cheated out."

Seeing the defeat of the Rong people, the prince also thought that Luoyang City had turned from danger to safety, but the commander Xie told him the truth.

The reason why the Northern Barbarian left was because Xie Shizi, who was outside the city, used the technique of suspicious soldiers to pretend to be Xianbei Huangmao to attack!

The combat effectiveness of Xianbei Huangmao and the Northern Barbarian is comparable, and the Northern Barbarian, who has just experienced two major defeats, decided to temporarily avoid its edge. Although Xie Shizi took advantage of the terrain and laid out carefully, the fake one could not be true after all, and it would be revealed in three days at most.

Xianbei Huangmao can clean up Liaodong with his words, and lead the troops into the attack, at that time, Luoyang City will face the left and right attacks of two groups of barbarians, and Luoyang City will be defeated!

Old Lady Xie suggested that he leave with the people of Luoyang City.

At that time, he sternly refused, just because the word "escape" was too prestigious to kill the royal family, but when he returned to the palace, he received the news that his father had already abandoned the city and left.

Even his father has fled, what reason does he have to spare his life?

The queen sat on the ground, "When your father fled, there was an army of loyal and brave marquis to escort him, but we ......"

"Old lady Xie said, if I promise not to abandon the people and wounded of Luoyang City on the road, I can take all the troops in the city with me."

After a few battles with the northern barbarians, there were still 5,000 regular troops and 40,000 recruits left in the city uninjured, and these people might not be able to fight the barbarians, and it was more than enough to deter the bandits along the way.

"Old lady Xie said that father, they are rushing to Shouchun. The Marquis of Zhongyong and the old thief agreed to escort their father, but they wanted to use their father to wash away the stigma of rebellion, and when Shouchun came, their father would definitely kill these two disobedient people. When the time comes, these horses and people brought by the son and the queen mother will become the father's reliance......" The prince's eyes flashed with calculations, "With these reliance, I can still sit firmly on the crown prince's throne without wavering!" ”

The queen nodded approvingly, "My son is calculating. In this way, the queen mother is relieved. You go ahead and arrange it. ”

On the same day, the prince's edict was posted in Luoyang City: the new emperor had withdrawn Shouchun, the Northern Barbarians and Xianbei Huangmao would soon call, and Luoyang City was in danger. The prince took pity on the people of Luoyang City and decided to take all the people who were willing to evacuate with him to Shouchun for refuge!

For a time, the people of Luoyang City hated the new emperor who abandoned the city, but they were conflicted because of this kind-hearted prince.

"Shall we follow the Prince?"

"If you don't go, are you waiting to be killed by the Northern Barbarian and Huang Mao?"

"Isn't there still Old Lady Xie?"

"Haven't you heard, the prince wants to take away all the troops in the city, no one fights, and Old Lady Xie alone can block the barbarian and Huang Mao's thousands of troops?"

"Let's go, let's go!"

There are also those who are reluctant to have furniture, "Several generations of land and family businesses are in this Luoyang City, I am reluctant!" ”

Someone immediately advised, "No matter how much money and land you have, you must have a life to enjoy it!" ”

"Yes, yes, it's important to save your life!"

"Go and pack your bags, so as not to panic and bring less valuables. The prince gave us half a day! ”

The people who had gathered to discuss dispersed and went to pack their bags.

Looking at the empty streets, Old Lady Xie let out a long sigh, "Fortunately, the prince is not a fool!" ”

Knowing that the troops and people in Luoyang City were his bargaining chips in negotiations with the new emperor, otherwise, with so many people, relying only on the secret guards of the Zhenguo Mansion, there was really no way to guarantee that they would escape to a safe place.

"It's cheaper for the new emperor, so many people are white." The secret guards of the Zhenguo Mansion were indignant.

"As long as the people can live, there is no need to care so much." Old Lady Xie sighed lightly, "The world is dead, and the most bitter people are still the people at the bottom who are begging for a living." ”

When it was dark, the new crown prince led the people of Luoyang City to the south from the south gate. Because all the spies in the city were found out, the news did not go north.

Someone in the south received the news early.

"Father-in-law, the people of Luoyang City have fled to Shouchun, what should we do?" Wang Qiheng's face was full of sadness.

King Pingnan's eyebrows tightened, and his right hand clenched into a fist and slammed it on the table, "It's all the old puppet surnamed Xie who is bad for me and other big things!" ”

On the same day, he led his troops to retreat south in the decisive battle between the prince and the four princes, just to see the internal friction of the Northern Barbarian, Xianbei Huangmao and the new monarch of Luoyang City, so that he could sit and reap the benefits of the fisherman. Even if Luoyang City changed dramatically, the first emperor was imprisoned, and the Marquis of Jin Anhou inherited the throne, he and Wang Kun ignored it. Anyway, who is orthodox in the end depends on the fist!

The fist is hard enough, and the black can be said to be white!

They calculated everything, but they were ruined by the old horseman of the Xie family!

Now that the new emperor is about to flee to Shouchun, the crown prince will also rush to the city with millions of people, with these people to rely on, plus the local garrison, the new emperor in Shouchun, maybe he can really sit on the throne.

It's just that the soldiers and horses in his hands are not enough to deal with the Northern Barbarians and Xianbei Huangmao, so he can only look at Luoyang City and sigh!

"Father-in-law, father, what should I do now?" Wang Qiheng asked.

King Pingnan and Wang Kun glanced at each other, both a little depressed.

"So far, we have to retreat to Jiangnan."

With the sound of crutches on the ground, a white-haired old man stepped in. Although this old man is old, he is in good spirits, and his actions are elegant and weak, revealing a convincing atmosphere.

King Pingnan and Wang Kun both got up and made a gesture.

"Sir/Father."

"Why is Mr. Chuzhou here?" King Pingnan bowed and gave up his seat.

This old man is the pillar of Mount Tai of the Langya Wang family, Mr. Chuzhou!

"You two have been stuck in the Northland for so long, and you have achieved nothing. If the old man doesn't come again, the time will be delayed. ”

Mr. Chuzhou sat down on the main seat, and his eyes as sharp as an eagle swept towards the two juniors.

"Although the north is good, in the end, it is a dangerous place, there are Rong people and Xianbei Huangmao outside, plus the new emperor, sooner or later there will be chaos. The 100,000 people in your hands, Lord Wang, are just a drop in the bucket in the face of this chaos, and they will not benefit at all. Instead of spending money in the north, it is better to cross the river, take the south, and support the five princes to ascend the throne, which can ensure the glory of the family for at least ten years. ”

100,000 people can't play a big role in the north where the chaos is about to be, and when they arrive in the south of the Yangtze River, where they are accustomed to living a stable life, the gentle water town is like a wolf entering a flock of sheep, and under the defenselessness of the southerners, they can get the right to rule by speaking.

"I'm waiting to recruit troops and buy horses in the south, train and accumulate strength, wait for three or five years, and the north will be defeated and wounded, and I'll lead the troops north to regain the lost territory, it's not too late. Rest assured, now is not the end of the Han Dynasty, and it is impossible for a powerful figure as Wei Wu to rise in the north. The world is ours after all! Mr. Chuzhou's eyes were full of confidence.

King Pingnan and Wang Kunru were initiated. Before, they did get caught in the whirlpool of gains and losses, forgetting that sometimes they need to retreat as advances.

Nowadays, occupying the largest territory first is the most important thing!
