Volume 3 Chapter 62 The Return of the Son of Heaven [2]

In July, the car, Ma Xiaoxiao, and the emperor's car drove under the many escorts to Xuanping Gate. Emperor Xian breathed a sigh of relief, and finally left Chang'an. Suddenly, there was a commotion in front of the team, the car suddenly stopped, and Emperor Xian leaned forward, and his heart couldn't help but rise to his throat. Something happened?! Emperor Xian's face changed color slightly, and he unconsciously clenched his fists.

"Is it the Son of Heaven? Is it the Son of Heaven? ”

In the distance, a chaotic roar was heard, and a large number of soldiers gathered in front of the bridge of the moat, stopping the advance of the procession. However, in order to retain the control of the Son of Heaven, Lee? Sent their own elite, hundreds of halberd soldiers surrounded the car, and those soldiers could not get close.

"It's the general's man!"

Seeing that the Son of Heaven was asking with his eyes, Yang Qi peeked at him and replied in a low voice. The later general is Guo. Emperor Xian was speechless. Seeing that the situation was urgent, Liu Ai, who was accompanying him, did not care to ask Emperor Xian's opinion, and shouted:

"It's the Son of Heaven! It's the Son of Heaven! ”

Liu Ai's disposition was very much in line with Emperor Xian's wishes, but the soldiers still did not retreat. Emperor Xian made Yang Qi hold the curtain high, revealing his figure. However, Emperor Xian said to the soldiers:

"If you don't retreat, why do you dare to persecute the Supreme like this?"

For a long time, the supreme authority of the Son of Heaven has been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. The soldiers looked at each other, hesitated for a moment, and finally retreated. The emperor's car can move forward. However, the soldiers withdrew not far away, still looking at the team not far away, faintly forming an encirclement. No one spoke, only the sound of "rustling" footsteps, the atmosphere at the scene was extremely depressing, people unconsciously relaxed their breathing, if someone shouted at this time, I am afraid that things will be out of control.

In the eyes of everyone, the car slowly crossed the bridge. Emperor Xian sat in the car, calm, majestic and noble. Qianfu pointed out, died without illness, and everyone watched, Yang Qi couldn't help but hold his breath. Seeing the Son of Heaven behaving like this, Yang Qi was sad and happy in his heart - the Son of Heaven is really a masterpiece, but it is a pity that he was born at this time. He didn't notice that Emperor Xian's hands were clenched tightly, and his knuckles were white.

The convoy drove slowly, the sound, the rustling sound, pressed on people's hearts, Yang Qi's face was pale, and he didn't know what to do. Suddenly, someone shouted in his ear, Yang Qi was startled, his body shook involuntarily, and he almost didn't fall.

"Hooray! Banzai! Banzai! ……”

The scene was silent for a while, and then Yang Qi reflected and shouted with everyone. The ministers shouted, the halberd warriors shouted, and even the soldiers who blocked the road shouted, and the shouts spread farther and farther, and gradually, everyone joined in, and the sound of the mountains and tsunamis swept in, shaking the entire Chang'an City.

……

The team walked away, there was only a shadow left in Chang'an City, Yang Qi had already stopped shouting, but his heart was still beating fiercely, it couldn't be calmed down for a long time, how long had it been, ecstasy filled Yang Qi's heart, for a while, the sky was blue, the mountains were green, and the water was clear...... Even the flying dust is so cute!

Hande is not declining! Hande is not declining! Hand is not declining!

“…… Yang Shizhong! Yang Shizhong! ”

A deep voice woke Yang Qi up. Liu Aizheng stared at him a little annoyed.

"How?"

How? He was embarrassed to ask how?! Liu Ai was so angry that he was about to curse, but seeing the joy on Yang Qi's face, his heart softened, and he said in a low voice:

"Put the curtain down!"

Only then did Yang Qi put down the curtains.

Everything fell in the eyes of Emperor Xian, he couldn't help sighing, he was also a servant, why was the gap so big? Yang Qi is loyal, but his reaction is too slow. is still Liu Ai, loyal, and smart. A shout cleared the crisis, and he glanced at Liu Ai approvingly, and Liu Ai bowed his head slightly to show humility.

That night, the car drove to Baling, and the pedestrians were hungry, so they stopped moving forward and buried the pot to cook. In the smoke of the cooking, Emperor Xian recalled that in the past year, he was really miserable.

Emperor Xian wanted to get rid of this embarrassing predicament, but he was in troubled times, but he had no soldiers and no courage, and he had discussed with the minister for a long time, and there was nothing he could do but hope for foreign aid. However, Zhang Han made up his mind, blindly perfunctory, and refused to 'take risks with the Son of Heaven'. Yuan Shao sent several envoys, but for the time being, he was unable to map north. The rest of the princes were on their own side, and there were no messengers, so they could not count on it.

Yuan Shao was ambitious, and when he met the Kwantung Alliance, he did not take the Son of Heaven into account. But this time and that time. Yuan Shao was expelled from Jizhou by Zhang Han, and finally occupied Yuzhou, and his power shrank a lot. He fought with Yuan Shu for several years and gained the upper hand, but he was unable to achieve a decisive victory for a while. In this case, Yuan Shao would not ignore the orthodox status of the emperor as he did when he was proud.

There is no way out of the mountains and rivers, and the willows and flowers are bright and another village. Just when the emperor was at a loss, the opportunity came to the door by itself.

Since the death of Dong Zhuo, the government has been directed by the general Li ? (Zhang Han is also a general of the chariot cavalry, and both sides use their own ones), the later general Guo and the right general Fan Chou. The three of them were originally Dong Zhuo's generals, Li? He has been a colleague with Guo for many years and has a deep friendship; And Fan Chou is brave and good at fighting, and he is very popular, Li? Quite jealous of him.

In the spring and March of the first year of Xingping, Han Sui, Ma Teng, Guo and Fan Chou fought in Changpingguan. After the war, Fan Chou and Han Sui whispered to each other, and they returned for a long time. Plum? got retribution, and couldn't help but secretly become suspicious. Fan Chou is more discerning and knows sleepy

In the end, it is not a long-term strategy, and if you want to lead troops out of the Kanto region to compete with the princes, you will ask for more. Plum? If you are in doubt, how can you believe it?

In the spring and February of the second year of Xingping, Li? set up a banquet, killed Fan Chou while talking and laughing, and annexed his subordinates.

The death of a rabbit and a fox are sad, and things hurt their kind, which is human nature. Fan Chou is one of the three Bingzheng people, the general of the Kaifu, and his status is still above Guo. Plum? Laughing and slaughtering, no matter how good the relationship between the two is, Guo will inevitably be suspicious. This suspicion is like a neighbor who throws an axe, no matter how he looks at Li, Guo doesn't think it's right. So, a few days after Fan Chou died, the two of them led their own troops to attack each other.

In this way, one of the three Bingzheng died, and the two went to war directly, making Chang'an a battlefield. Emperor Xian saw that it was not a way to go on like this, so he sent Shizhong and Shangshu to mediate the conflict between Li and Guo.

However, Emperor Xian is a puppet emperor and has no strength at all, Li? and Guo refused to obey. On the contrary, the act of offering the emperor attracted the attention of others. The authority of the Son of Heaven is well known. Guo conspiracy to kidnap Emperor Xian to his military camp, unfortunately, no, it should be said, fortunately, that night, someone fled to Li? In the camp, tell Li about Guo's plan. The rest of the matter is logical.

On March 25, Lee? sent his nephew Li Xian to take the lead in 'welcome' Emperor Xian back to the camp. As for the opinions of Emperor Xian and the ministers, they were naturally ignored. Immediately afterwards, Li Xian carried out a complete robbery of the imperial palace, and Li Xian? He moved the gold silk collected by the imperial palace to his camp, and then set fire to all the palaces, government offices and people's houses.

It is worth mentioning that Jia Xu is doing well. Plum? A total of three cars were sent, one for the emperor, one for the noble Fu (that is, the later Empress Fu), Jia Xu and Zuo Ling shared one, and the rest of the ministers had to follow the emperor out of the palace on foot.

Guo was not to be outdone, so he arrested all the ministers sent by Emperor Xian to mediate. As the saying goes, Lee? Rob the Son of Heaven, Guo Zhi Gongqing. If the emperor can't adjust, this battle will naturally continue. Plum? Gather thousands of Qiang and Hu people, and lure them to attack Guo with the wealth of the imperial palace. Guo Ze secretly with Li? The henchman Zhonglang colluded with Zhang Bao and others to plan an attack on Li.

The city gate caught fire, affecting the fish in the pond. To offer the emperor is to put the fish in the pond. Guo Li Yingwai had the upper hand, and the arrow was shot all the way into the curtain of Emperor Xian's residence. Offering the emperor, the emperor, is really aggrieved. However, his aggrieved days are still to come. Plum? When seducing Qianghu, in addition to property, he also promised palace maids to them. Plum? After a long time of not fulfilling their promises, these Qianghu went to the residence of the emperor from time to time to snoop, "Is the emperor here?" Where is the maid who was promised to us? ”

Offering the emperor is this Khan!

The green hat hovered over Emperor Xian's head, and he couldn't sit still. However, Emperor Xian had no other way but to continue to adjust. However, Xiucai couldn't explain why he met Bing. Emperor Xiang is the palace man and attendant who is with him, and he pays homage to Li? begged for five japonica rice and five cow bones, but only got five rotten cow bones. The status of the emperor can be seen. So, Lee? agreed, Guo is different; And Guo agreed, Lee? I don't agree. The battle began in March and continued in June. Tens of thousands of people died in the war.

However, although Emperor Xian had nothing, he still had prestige. Plum? This treatment of Emperor Xian caused many people to oppose it. Plum? 's subordinate Yang Feng was originally the commander of the White Wave Thief, that is, the head of the Yellow Turban, but he was very orthodox. In June, Yang Feng and Song Guo conspired to kill Li Feng, and the secret was leaked, so Yang Feng led his troops to rebel against Li Jing. In addition, Jia Xu persuaded Qianghu to retire, Li? The power has been greatly reduced. At this time, Zhang Ji, the general of Zhendong, led his troops from Shaanxi County to Chang'an, intending to mediate the dispute between Li and Guo and welcome Emperor Xian to Hongnong. Li and Guo agreed to make peace and exchanged their daughters as hostages.

This is only the beginning of this chapter, Emperor Xian left Chang'an City.

Frankly speaking, the Great Han Kingdom fell apart, the princes from all walks of life were pretentious and dominant, and it has been many years since the emperor was not taken seriously. But the move of Emperor Xian alarmed two people, one was naturally Zhang Han, and the other was Yuan Shao and Yuan Benchu.

――――――――――――――――――――――――――

"General!"

Before he arrived, Cao Cao had already bowed down. Yuan Shao was polite, took a few steps forward, helped Cao Cao up with a smile, and said loudly:

"Brother Meng Dexian, why do you need to be so polite......"

"Where, the etiquette cannot be abolished, and the line should still be done......"

Cao Cao greeted each other and muttered in his heart. Yangzhou was initially decided, and I didn't know what it was important for Yuan Shao to suddenly call him back. However, Yuan Shao had no intention of explaining at the door:

"Mengde, let's go in and talk ......"

……

After the ups and downs of Zhang Han's manufacturing, Cao Cao tried his best to finally win Yuan Shao's trust again. In the final analysis, Cao Cao is resourceful and accustomed to fighting, and Yuan Shao is in a precarious place, and he is indispensable. With this principle, Cao Cao personally gave his wife to Yuan Shao before an expedition. When Yuan Shao's heart was full of joy, the relationship between the two quickly improved.

Cao Cao's embarrassing position in Yuan Shao's forces was not because of anything else, but because of Yuan Shao's ambiguous attitude. To put it bluntly, if you say you can do it, you can do it, and if you can't do it; If you say no, you can't, and you can't. The issue of the treatment of family members and relatives is clearly to sow discord. can contact the previous ones, Cao Cao is still very suspicious. Behold

Are you singing a double reed with Zhang Han? No one knows! Yuan Shao is also not sure that Shao may not have a little mustard in his heart. Therefore, when the crowd was turbulent, Yuan Shao did not speak. Yuan Shao was also measured, he was unwilling to push Cao Cao too much - if he did so, it would be difficult to do. However, not speaking is a gesture in itself. Cao Cao is an ally of Yuan Shao, or a vassal, he has no territory at this time, and he is not so easy to recruit talents. In other words, he is very dependent on Yuan Shao. Yuan Shao made Cao Cao's situation very difficult.

However, when Cao Cao gave his wife to Yuan Shao, the situation was different. In ancient times, when leading a general to go on an expedition, he could not bring his family with him. Without it, leave his wife hostage to settle his heart. Cao Cao gave his wife to Yuan Shao, just to take his wife as a hostage - he just wanted to be crooked, and he went to hit the wall three times. Yuan Shao is not Lu Bu's stupid presumptuous, women are everywhere, but he likes the wives and concubines of his generals.

Cao Cao's move was a last resort, but the effect was remarkable. His gesture has two meanings:

First, Cao Cao has family (father and younger brother) in Zhang Han's hands, and it is normal for Yuan Shao to have doubts. Some of Yuan Shao's subordinates took this to talk about things, and Cao Cao was very passive. Now, Cao Cao has handed over his wife, concubines, and children to Yuan Shao, and this credibility has been greatly improved.

Second, Cao Cao sent his wife to Yuan Shao, although he did not say it explicitly, he actually regarded himself as a vassal. Prior to this, Cao Cao obeyed Yuan Shao's orders, but this relationship was not clear, he was not Yuan Shao's subordinate, and he had a lot of independence. When Cao Cao set out on the expedition, the placement of his wife depended on his own will. Assuming that Yuan Shao is not happy here, Cao Cao can find an opportunity to wrap his back at any time and change jobs, Yuan Shao basically has no way to take him. Yuan Shao's subordinates are different, they can't bring their families with them when they go on the expedition, and they must be handed over to Yuan Shao as hostages. This is a big difference, so others can use this to attack Cao Cao, but Cao Cao can't refute it.

Cao Cao was originally a good friend of Yuan Shao, and he was capable, and he was the most powerful person under Yuan Shao. As soon as Yuan Shao's heart disease was gone, he made a few more great achievements, and soon regained his former status. Naturally, Wen Chou, Yan Liang and others still looked at Cao Cao unpleasantly. But this is also how it should be, Yuan Shao doesn't want them to be like a family.

Zhang Hanxing's troops went south, but Liu and Zhang Miao couldn't resist it, so they had to ask Yuan Shao for help. A dog has his day. At the beginning, Yuan Shao was extremely embarrassed and did not rely on the strength of the two. Now they are coming to them. Yuan Shao's forces had close ties with the state, and they both prospered and lost. Needless to say, Yuan Shao categorically had no reason to refuse. However, Yuzhou was devastated by the disaster, Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu competed, and they were forced to stop the army and truce when the food ran out. Yuan Shao can send troops, but the food has to be provided by Yanzhou. The state has also recently been hit by disasters, and in addition, there are many mountains and few lands, so it is not rich, but who let Yanzhou ask for help, so he can only grit his teeth and respond.

At the same time, Yuan Shao and Liu sent envoys to unite with Tao Qian in Xuzhou. Tao Qian was unwilling to be lonely after all, and he also knew the truth of cold lips and teeth, so the three parties hit it off, formed an alliance, and jointly sent troops to fight against Zhang Han.

However, this did not resist the invasion of Zhang Han's army. The Hebei army was well-trained and well-trained, using new weapons such as catapults and gunpowder, and relying on the Dahe Water Division, it launched an all-out attack from the east and north. Of course, Zhang Han has been planning for a long time, and the biggest advantage is that the Hebei soldiers have enough food.

Cao Cao personally went to the front line, led the army to fight bloodily, and fought in Dong'e Lane for more than a month, trying to ensure that Dong'e was not lost. However, Dongjun, Jiyinguo, Chenliu, and Shanyang were lost one after another, and the Hebei army wanted to cut off Kang's father and take the road of Mount Tai in the south to cut off Cao Cao's way back. Seeing that the situation was impossible, Cao Cao was forced to retreat, and the entire territory of Yanzhou fell into the hands of Zhang Han.

The failure of the first year of Xingping did not break Cao Cao's spirit. The Hebei army took Yanzhou, no longer going south, but attacked Xuzhou. Hearing that Yuan Shao intended to take advantage of this opportunity to plot against Yangzhou, Cao Cao responded in one go. Yangzhou is a large state with a large population and fertile land, which Yuan Shao has coveted for a long time. The choice of Cao Cao was due to his military advisor Zhou Qiao. When Cao Cao first raised his army, Zhou Qiao, a member of the Huiji, led 2,000 troops to accompany him, and Cao Cao was appointed as a military advisor, and Zhou Qiao killed Danyang Taishou Zhou's younger brother.

Sure enough, Cao Cao really lived up to Yuan Shao's expectations, and with his military advisor, he persuaded Danyang to guard Zhou too much, and forced Chen Wen, the assassin of Yangzhou, to give way to Yangzhou. Speaking of which, Cao Cao holds Yangzhou in his hand, and he also has all kinds of tastes in his heart, if he has been here for a long time, why should he live under others. But then again, Yuan Shao became suspicious, if Cao Cao did not question his wife and lose his sincerity, Yuan Shao would not easily let him go out to lead the troops, Cao Cao had only a thousand soldiers, and there was no food and grass, and most of them could not afford to get Yangzhou. It's all gossip.

Yuan Shao welcomed Cao Cao into the mansion, Cao Cao was secretly shocked, and several of Yuan Shao's henchmen were sitting in the lobby. Feng Ji briefly said the matter, and Cao Cao knew:

It turns out that the Son of Heaven has returned!

PS: Really! Sitting in front of the computer and drawing circles, I drew for a long time, the story was churning in my mind, and I didn't want to write a word ---_―||||, and I caught up with the historical plot and checked a bunch of information. only to figure out the before and after......

Sweat! I just found the complete translation of "Zizhi Tongjian", and if this had been the case earlier, I wouldn't have to gnaw on the ancient versions of "The Book of the Later Han" and "Chronicles of the Three Kingdoms...... In addition, after ps, I modified it and it was not counted in the word count.
