Chapter 40: Cao Zixiao

Moonlight Scenery ......

"Murder Night!" such a word popped up inexplicably in his heart, Liu Xuan looked up at the gloomy sky, only to feel that the darkness was overwhelming, and he couldn't see the slightest starlight.

In addition, although it has been pure at this time, the weather has not completely warmed up, and the wind blows on my face at night, and I only feel that my whole face is numb.

Turning his head to look at the car next to him, under the curtain that was raised, a pretty face that was not big, as if it could be completely covered with one hand, was a little worried, and kept looking at Liu Xuan, and after a while he spoke: "Your Majesty, why don't you get in the car, you can also avoid this cold wind." ”

Liu Xuan sat on a horse, this horse was carefully selected in the imperial city, specially for the emperor to ride the best horse - in fact, it is not true, the horse ridden by the emperor must be good-looking, and the temper is gentle and will not suddenly go crazy so as not to hurt the Son of Heaven, but if you want to talk about foot strength, at most it is just middle and upper.

Mo said that the red rabbit ridden by Lu Bu, even Cao Cao's peerless shadow was more than one grade stronger than the horse ridden by Liu Xuan.

Of course, Liu Xuan is confident in subduing those really good horses, but this is not the time to get entangled in these side matters, and finally looked forward to Dong Zhuo going out of Beijing, leading the troops and horses to sit in the tiger prison and compete with the heroes of the Kwantung region, if he doesn't take this opportunity to leave Luoyang and go to Chang'an, when will he wait?

In fact, this plan was not so smooth, at the beginning, Dong Zhuo did not want to personally lead the troops and horses to fight with the Kwantung heroes, but just sent Huaxiong to guard the pass.

However, Hua Xiong wanted to make meritorious contributions, and after arriving at the Tiger Prison Pass (also Bishui Pass), he directly led his troops and horses out of the pass to meet the enemy.

To say that Huaxiong does have some ability, the first few battles were fought in the Kwantung group of heroes crying dad and shouting mother, the vanguard of the group of heroes coalition army, Jiangdong Sun Wentai was defeated in front of Huaxiong, and also lost the general Zu Mao.

When the news came back to Luoyang, Mo said that Dong Zhuo was furious, and the princes of the Manchu Dynasty were also taken aback. You must know that Sun Jian, known as the Jiangdong Tiger, is also a very famous fierce general, and was beaten by Hua Xiong, could it be that Dong Zhuo will not die?

At this time, Liu Xuan had already discussed with Wang Yun about moving the capital, and many courtiers such as Yang Biao, the captain of the school, Huang Wan, the commander of the school, Lu Kui, the servant, and Zhou Huan, the great Honglu, although they felt that moving the capital to avoid disasters would damage the prestige of heaven, but at this time it was an unusual season, and they couldn't care so much.

Zongzheng Liu Ai is a royal family member, at this time only considering the interests of the royal family, and today such a field will not be affected too much, hearing that Liu Xuan wants to take advantage of Dong Zhuo's absence, lead the princes of the court and the Yulin army to Chang'an, and then set the capital Chang'an to rule the world, but what he thinks about is how their group of people can smoothly rush to Chang'an, and at the same time, Chang'an is in the hands of Dong Zhuo's subordinates, how can they get it?

Fortunately, Wang Yun was there at this time, and Wang Situ knew that Liu Xuan had won over Lu Bu, so he roughly revealed a little to everyone, and only asked everyone to go back and prepare separately, just wait for the right time to leave Luoyang immediately.

After a period of time, the court was unusually calm, but Dong Zhuo didn't know what was going on, so he only thought that his troops and horses were moving, and the Manchu Dynasty knew that he was powerful, and he didn't dare to confront him.

Thinking in his heart, he could rest assured and boldly deal with the Kwantung princes, so he had the idea of personally leading the troops to fight, but Li Ru felt that something was wrong and persuaded Dong Zhuo not to move lightly.

At that time, Lu Bu was on the side, and when he heard this, he immediately said: "Father can rest assured that he will go forward, Bu Zi led the Tiger Ben Army to sit in the capital division, but there is a change and the whole clan will be punished." ”

As soon as Lu Bu said this, Dong Zhuo was naturally worried, although Li Ru felt that it was inappropriate, he couldn't say anything, but he just said: "Wen Hou is sitting in the palace alone, I'm afraid it will be difficult to take care of everything, and one person must be the same town as the Beijing division to assist Wen Hou." ”

At this time, Liu Xuan had already issued an edict to crown Lu Bu as the Marquis of Wen, so Li Ru would be called like this.

When Lu Bu heard this, he was secretly happy, but he couldn't help but remain silent on his face: "Li Su and Bu are fellow villagers, and they can be regarded as having a lot of contacts on weekdays, and if they stay in Beijing, they will definitely be able to keep Luoyang safe." ”

Liu Xuan didn't expect that winning over Lu Bu would have such an effect, because he was next to Dong Zhuo, and he knew Dong Zhuo's dynamics at any time, and with Dong Zhuo's trust, he added a few words, which directly strengthened Dong Zhuo's mind to lead the troops out of Beijing.

So in the spring and February of the first year of Jian'an, that is, in the spring of 190 AD, Dong Zhuo led the army to the Tiger Prison, close to Xu Rong, Fan Chou, and Zhang Ji in the general school, and Li Dao, Guo Yan and son-in-law Niu Fu had already gone to the northwest to guard their hometown.

As soon as Dong Zhuo left, Liu Xuan's side immediately became busy, but after two days' work, this side was ready, seeing that the sky was dark today, and he could barely see a shadow when he was far away, so he immediately took important things and pulled out the carriage and horses out of the city from the west gate of Luoyang - Li Su had already received the news, opened the city gate, and cut off the rear with soldiers.

At this time, the ministers of the Manchu Dynasty brought their families, countless carriages and horses, the former army had already left Luoyang City, and the broken soldiers and horses were still guarding the city gate and did not come out, Liu Xuan looked at this long team that could not see the tail, and also smiled helplessly.

"This is even more depressing than Liu Xuande's coercion of the people fleeing south!"

Liu Bei still had enough time to travel and prepare at that time, but Liu Xuan's time was very tight, fortunately, the lieutenant temple and the captain of the city gate were already in Liu Xuan's hands, Li Su and Huangfu Song controlled the city and blocked the city gate, and they could buy about a few days without Dong Zhuo knowing.

But Dong Zhuo sent people back to Luoyang from time to time to inquire about the situation, and at that time, he couldn't hide it anymore, at this time, what he pinched was the kung fu that the last wave of messengers had just left, and the next one would not come so soon.

Along the way, many people complained and shouted tired, Liu Xuan heard these words clearly, even if there were reasonable people beside those people who scolded loudly, but Liu Xuan still knew the resentment in the hearts of these people.

"Do you think I took you out of Luoyang and made you suffer in vain?"

Although he didn't say it on the face, he secretly wrote down these people in his heart, he was not an open-minded person, and he was not satisfied with all the princes of the Manchu Dynasty, so he wanted to find a way to change them.

"Pick it up slowly later!"

was slandering in his heart, Cai Yan's face was revealed in the car next to him, and he called himself to get into the car - the car was not big, in order to facilitate travel and not let people notice the vision, just used a small car, Cai Yan and the personal palace maid were already strong in the car, Liu Xuan was such a big man on it, it is estimated that the car would go slower.

"At this critical moment, where can I take care of those?"

However, Cai Yan cared about himself after all, so he naturally refuted it with a cold face, and said: "Hurry up, it's better to get to Tongguan as soon as possible, as long as you pass Tongguan, you can rest assured." ”

As long as you enter the Tong Pass and seize the pass, you can rely on the pass to block Dong Zhuo's pursuers, and the rest of the road naturally does not need to be in such a hurry.

I can't care so much about it now, so it's better to move forward as soon as possible.

After doing this for a few days, I was walking this day, and suddenly I saw a commotion from the guards around me, and there was a noise in the distance behind. Looking back, I saw the faintly lit sky with smoke and dust, and the posture seemed to have a sense of covering the sky and the sun.

"This speed ......"

Liu Xuan's eyes froze, and he immediately realized that this was Dong Zhuo's chasing soldiers, and the speed was so fast, it was possible that he had sent all the cavalry in his hands.

Xun Yu next to him also saw the scene behind, and when he saw the emperor looking at it with his head held high, he immediately said: "Presumably Dong Zhuo got the news and sent cavalry to hurry, so he chased after him so quickly." ”

Speaking of this, he looked up at Liu Xuan's face, and found that the young emperor was still calm and calm, and he secretly praised it in his heart, feeling that the lord chosen by his uncle was indeed a little extraordinary, and in this state of mind that he was not shocked, ordinary people could not compare.

"However, Your Majesty does not need to worry, even if the soldiers and horses of General Huangfu and Captain Li cannot repel the enemy soldiers, they can also ensure that Your Majesty and the princes are safe, and when the Yulin army arrives, the enemy army will be defeated. ”

In this big team, it was Lu Bu's Tiger Army that took the lead, in addition to Lu Bu's bravery, he also wanted to rely on Lu Bu's identity to open the two gates of Tongguan and Chang'an.

Cao Cao led the Yulin army to ambush on the halfway, only waiting for Dong Zhuo to chase and kill, and then cover the killing from behind, and cooperate with Huangfu Song and Li Su's soldiers and horses to flank the enemy on both sides.

The enemy is cavalry, so in the face of the two-sided soldiers and horses are even more powerless, the battle was fought almost immediately divided into winners and losers, nearly two thousand Yulin cavalry will be those who were trapped by Huangfu Song and Li Su The pursuers were strangled for a while, and finally chased twenty miles from behind, and only collected the troops after the complete collapse of this army and horses, and when they caught up with Liu Xuan's brigade again, Liu Xuan and the princes of the Manchu Dynasty were about to reach the Tongguan.

When Cao Cao came back, Liu Xuan was resting in the makeshift camp, Cao Cao strode in, and behind him he was carrying a round black thing in his hand, and he couldn't see what it was in the dark.

At this time, Liu Xuan was talking to several ministers in the tent, and Cao Cao came in with people and heads, these people were startled, but Liu Xuan asked curiously: "Who is this?"

The general who carried the head gave a big salute, and then replied respectfully: "This person is Wang Fang, the captain of Dong Zhuo's account, and this person led the cavalry to chase His Majesty a few days ago. ”

"Oh?"

Hearing this man's answer, everyone understood that the man in front of them was still their enemy.

Originally, a few days ago, everyone hurried and hurried, thinking that they would not be caught up by Dong Zhuo along the way, but they thought that a few days ago, they suddenly killed, which scared them a lot, and then they didn't dare to delay this time, even if they were in the car, they felt that their whole body was about to fall apart, so they naturally didn't have a good impression of this person.

As for Cao Cao will bring this person here, it is estimated that he is here to show his merits.

Liu Xuan naturally understood that he also knew the general in front of him, it was Cao Ren Cao Zixiao, Cao Cao's own brother, and he was a first-class general in the future, so he was naturally ready to reuse. At this time, it was sent to him, probably to make an impression in front of him.

"Let's write down this merit for the time being, and when we get to Chang'an, we will reward it together!"

However, Liu Xuan didn't expect that when everyone was resting, Cao Cao quietly asked: "Your Majesty thinks that Cao Zi is filial to dominate the tiger and leopard, how do you think?"
