Chapter 42: Return to the Old Capital, Worship the Second Ancestor!
Guan Yu dealt with the envoys of Eastern Wu and made every effort to prepare for war.
No one knew that when Wu's envoys and Guan Yu were circling, Lu Xun's envoys had already set off from their own Jingzhou territory, passed through Jiaozhi County, and took the mountain road to Wanwen, and felt the situation of Shuzhong's defense.
This group of envoys was very clever, they set off in three ways, all the way to contact the chiefs of Nanzhong, all the way to contact the barbarian king Meng Huo, all the way to contact the Yizhou wealthy Yonghong, and persuaded them to take advantage of the emptiness in Shuzhong to rebel and reap great benefits.
They offered the treasures sent by Lord Wu, and these three forces were really moved, and they all secretly gathered soldiers and horses, waiting for an opportunity to rebel.
Liu Bei, who was far away in Chang'an, had no idea about this action of Eastern Wu, and his combat documents were never broken.
He issued an edict to the three cities of Shangyong, as well as the three counties of Jingzhou, asking them to mobilize elite troops to attack the important city of Xiangyang, a strong city, and it was okay if they couldn't beat it, but they had to help him attract the main force of the Wei army.
Guan Yu was ordered to fight, and as usual, Guan Suo, Ma Liang and others were still left to guard the base camp.
After Liu Bei established the Han Dynasty, in order to deal with Cao Wei in the north, he established a military base for the Northern Expedition in the Hanzhong region.
In order to open up the main road for the transportation of military rations, he opened four main roads between Hanzhong and Guanzhong, which are the famous Meridian Road, Fu Luo Road, Bao Slope Road and Jinniu Road.
Shu Han also set up an important military pass in Hanzhong, Baishui Pass, and the mountains around Baishui Pass were covered with beacon towers. A series of pavilions and barriers have been set up between Baishuiguan and Chengdu, the national capital, for 400 miles to ensure the normal operation of the post station.
In the Jingzhou area bordering the Eastern Wu Dynasty, the general Guan Yu also set up a military communication "rebuke" along the Yangtze River, and the beacon tower reached the Xiangfan front line from the rear.
Now the crown prince Liu Chan is left to guard Chengdu, and Liu Bei and Zhuge Liang have been sitting in Chang'an, so all military orders are issued from Chang'an.
During this period of truce, Zhuge Liang used the spy system he cultivated to successfully contact General Wei Zhonglang and Xu Shu in the imperial history!
Xu Shu and the Hangu guard will have a great friendship, he was instructed by Zhuge Liang to secretly persuade the Hangu guard to take advantage of the night to do something, burn the Wei flag, raise the Han flag, and welcome the Han army into the pass!
The guard will be rich and noble, and he was moved by Xu Shu's words.
Sure enough, he was heavily rewarded by Liu Bei, and his official position fell second, and he was rewarded with 40 million yuan alone.
The old grudge between Xu Shu and the Cao family is also an old account.
Xu Shu is Liu Bei's military advisor, and Liu Bei respects him as if he were his ancestors.
Back then, Liu Bei, a famous defeated general, won one battle after another since he had Xu Shu as his military advisor.
It doesn't matter if you Cao Ren or Li Dian lead the team, whoever you love, come and beat one by one.
Liu Bei was almost crazy with joy.
Later, Cao Cao arrested Xu Shu and his mother, and wrote a letter in the old lady's handwriting to force him to surrender, and Xu Shu could only say goodbye to the master in his heart with tears.
I don't know that there is a follow-up to this!
Mother Xu knew that her son abandoned the light and went to the dark, and she was so angry that she hanged herself!
Xu Shu hated the Cao family to the bone, and left an allusion that Xu Shu entered the Cao camp without saying a word.
Because he swore not to set up a plot for the Cao family for the rest of his life!
Now that Cao Cao is dead, he doesn't have a good impression of this Cao Pi, and he took advantage of this opportunity to return to Liu Bei's command!
"Your Majesty! Can I let the minister again, call you the lord! Xu Shu hugged Liu Bei's leg and cried to the ground.
Liu Bei cried so much that his tears soaked his placket!
He hugged Xu Shu and nodded heavily: "Hmm! ”
And then he didn't say anything, just wept bitterly.
Crying enough, Xu Shu said: "God is pitiful, there is a time when you can see the old master!" With Kong Ming as the prime minister, the Han Dynasty is expected to prosper! ”
Liu Bei immediately said excitedly: "I am short of a lieutenant now!" Yuan Zhi is needed to take on this position! ”
Xu Shu, the character is straight.
Xu Shu smiled with tears.
Luoyang City has two dangers.
To the east is the Tiger Prison Pass, where Dong Zhuo blocked the pass, and no one from more than ten princes could enter.
To the west of Luoyang is Hangu Pass, which is closed, and no one can enter.
So this Luoyang City is really a beautiful place.
Xu Shu is most familiar with the terrain here, where it is not easy to march, where it is the weakest, and easy to attack, he knows it well.
With him as a guide, Liu Bei led Zhuge Liang, Zhao Yun, Huang Zhong, Wei Yan, Ma Chao, Jiang Wei and other generals to attack Luoyang, only three days, the north gate of Luoyang was breached.
The defender committed suicide, and the county guard raised the seal and surrendered.
It is extremely difficult to fight from the outside.
And from the inside, it's too simple.
Within two days, the Tiger Prison guards also surrendered to the Han Emperor.
Liu Bei ordered Ma Chao and Wei Yan to guard the Tiger Prison Pass and allocated them 30,000 elite soldiers.
The two generals each had a reward of 50 million.
Liu Bei took Zhuge Liang, Zhao Yun and other important civil and military officials to worship Guangwu Temple.
Emperor Liu Bangding of the Han Dynasty had made Chang'an, and Liu Bei had already worshiped the Gaozu Temple before.
Emperor Guangwu of the Han Dynasty Liu Xiuding was the capital of Luoyang, and now Liu Bei came to worship him.
"The heir of the Han family, Liu Bei, after King Jing of Zhongshan in Emperor Jing of the Han Dynasty, inherited the ancestral industry and recovered the Han Dynasty! Ask the two Holy Ancestors to bless you! ”
"In the future, I will let Prime Minister Zhuge Cheng, Pang Junshi, Xu Taiwei, second brother Guan Yu, third brother Zhang Fei, Zhao Yun, Ma Chao, Huang Zhong, Wei Yan, nephew Guan Suo and other civil and military ministers in my own temple!"
"God bless the man! Mountains and rivers reopen! Destroy all the traitors! ”
……
Liu Bei's voice echoed in the silent hall.
Liu Xiu's statue looked at him as if in appreciation.
Liu Bei went out of the ancestral temple, and the ministers shouted long live.
Liu Bei was so excited that he burst into tears.
When he was a child, he took a cool seat under the thousand-year-old mulberry at home, and he regarded it as the feather cover of the Son of Heaven, wanting to wear a dragon robe, dominate the world, and revive the ancestral industry.
Today, with the assistance of his ministers, he recaptured the second capital of the Han Dynasty!
The trajectory of this life is just like a dream.
In the blink of an eye, he was already an old man.
The hair is white.
The flame of dreams in the heart has not been extinguished!
Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty was taken by Cao Pi to Shanyang County, Hanoi, and went as the Duke of Shanyang.
Liu Bei fought the world by himself, and there was absolutely no reason to give it to Emperor Han Xian. Although Liu Bei's initial banner was Kuangfu Han Dynasty, which meant to be loyal to the Han Dynasty and assist the Han Emperor in defeating other princes, he was never the emperor.
But now that he has become the emperor, the etiquette that should be taken still has to go.
Liu Bei sent someone to express his condolences to the Duke of Shanyang, and the Duke of Shanyang said that they are all members of the Liu family, and His Majesty's ability is better than that of me, and His Majesty can inherit the Han Dynasty and the second ancestor of Wu, I am very relieved.
In this way, the things on the scene are over, Liu Bei continues to be his emperor and fight for his world, and the Duke of Shanyang continues to hatch bean sprouts at home.
No one is in anyone's way.
All Cao captives stranded in Luoyang, including Cao Hong, were beheaded by the Han Emperor.
Cao Cao's daughter, who looks sorry for the audience, rushed back to the vegetable garden to farm, a little bit of beauty, Liu Bei accepted it.
The power of the Shu Han army was greatly inspired.
Cao Pi couldn't sit still for a day, and sitting on the dragon chair every day was like sitting on pins and needles.
When using the imperial meal, he was afraid that someone would poison him.
After the death of Taiwei Jia Xu, the hussar general Sima Yi was his only hope.
He asked Sima Yi for advice, and Sima Yi suggested sending envoys to form an alliance with Wu again.
Cao Pi was impatient to send an envoy to communicate with Sun Quan, and the Wei and Wu families secretly formed an alliance again.
Guan Yu's task of containing the main force of the Wei army was completed, and he led the army back to Jiangling.
Once again, the Three Kingdoms entered a brief lull.
And just when the situation seemed to be the most favorable for Liu Bei, the crown prince Liu Chan suddenly sent an urgent report from the border pass:
The barbarian king Meng was invaded by troops, Yonghong, Gao Ding and others rebelled, colluded with the barbarian king Meng Shu, and the border of thousands of miles fell to the ground!
There is also an urgent report: Erchen has no time to wait for his father's holy decree, saving soldiers is like fighting fire, Erchen has sent Shu General Chen to go to quell the rebellion, although the rebels are temporarily blocked, but can not recover the homeland, please make a decision immediately! Sons are afraid that after a long time, they will change!
Liu Bei hurriedly issued two edicts, and transferred Prime Minister Zhuge Liang to enter Shu immediately, and personally unified the army in Shu to destroy the Southern Barbarian King.
Another edict was sent to Guan Yu in Jingzhou, telling him to guard against the attack of Sun Quan and the Wei thieves!
Liu Bei said angrily at the end: "When this matter is settled, I will definitely make Sun Quan, the dog thief of the Qin Dynasty, pay the price!" ”
