Chapter 90: King Jibei
The pouring rain blocked Liu Luan's way, so he had to order people to build some straw huts next to the thatched pavilion on the side of the road for people to rest temporarily, and put the items offered to the emperor and the entourage to shelter from the rain.
After being busy for most of the day, everyone was about to make a fire to cook rice after finally finishing it, when they suddenly heard the sound of horses' hooves coming like a storm in the distant rain curtain.
The palace guards hurriedly reported the matter to Liu Luan.
When Liu Luan heard this, he was not calm, "How is this good, such a heavy rain still haunts the official road, it must not be the official army, it must be a thief who hides his head and shows his tail." ”
"King, we have no more than 200 soldiers, and there is no danger to the terrain to defend, and the thieves are all cavalry, so we can't fight hard." The guard hurriedly persuaded that he did not want to die for no reason.
"I know, I know." Liu Luan spun around the messy ground irritably, "I can only act at the opportunity." It's a big deal to give up some possessions and ask for peace, if the thief still refuses to let me go, then fight to the death to get out. ”
The guards listened to the drums in their hearts, and listened to the sound of horses' hooves, and the number of the thieves seemed to be not small.
It's hard to hit, I'm afraid I can't even keep all of them.
"King!"
"Your Majesty, take off your gorgeous clothes and put on a set of regular clothes to escape."
"Please get on the horse, we have prepared a sycophant for the king."
While speaking, a group of palace officials swarmed in and said to Liu Luan.
The moment Liu Luan heard it, he was even more out of proportion.
He spun around in circles like a headless fly, waving his sleeves and shouting, "Stop arguing, let me be quiet." ”
The Fu, servants, and Lang Zhongling who came with the Jibei Royal Mansion knelt on the ground messily.
"The king, time is running out, please make a quick decision on the king!" Jibei Fu, who is over half a hundred years old, is about to cry.
"Wait, wait......" Liu Luan said uneasily.
But the more anxious he was, the more difficult it was to make up an idea in his heart.
His original intention was to run, but he was worried that in such weather, he would die faster if he ran out.
He is an average horseman, and the thief is also a cavalryman.
At this moment, another guard hurriedly ran in, "King, it's an official army!" ”
Liu Luan let out a long sigh of relief, "It's okay, it's okay, it's just a false alarm." You go out with this king to see what kind of soldiers and horses of the court are they! ”
Everyone looked different, and after Jibei Fu stood up, he whispered to Liu Luan: "It's better for the king to keep an eye on it, the officials and soldiers of the imperial court are not as good as the thieves now." ”
Liu Luan didn't think so, "Wang Fu doesn't have to worry, this king is also the king of Jibei of the Han Dynasty, and they should still leave a thin face for this king." What's more, Cheng'an is about to arrive, and His Majesty is stationed in Cheng'an, presumably no one dares to be so bold as to be disrespectful to this king here. ”
Everyone followed Liu Luan out of the grass hut, and saw a group of cavalry coming here in a strong formation from a distance.
Under the relentless hood of the rain curtain, the knight in the cloak seemed to be completely out of the rain.
No expression could be seen on their faces that were hidden by their hats, as long as the long knives in their hands exuded a breathtaking majesty.
"Which soldiers and horses of the imperial court are these? It's so powerful! Liu Luan's heart was shocked when he saw it, and he couldn't help but exclaim.
In Dahan, he had never seen such a dense and murderous army.
The people around him all cowered and didn't dare to face it.
Only the elderly Jibei Fu beside him said: "This place is only a few dozen miles away from Cheng'an, I'm afraid that the imperial court guards will be a certain branch of the two armies in the north and south." ”
"But it is rumored that Your Majesty ......" Liu Luan blurted out, just got up, but immediately stopped.
"Your Majesty, you just said it, but it's a rumor. Hearing is false, seeing is believing, and rumors are not necessarily true. Jibei Fu said.
"That's what Wang Fu said." Liu Luan looked at the oncoming army, and the whole person was excited, "If my Han is such a strong soldier and horse, why worry about the world's thieves and robbers!" Only 100,000, no, 50,000, those thieves who can definitely fight let their old lady give them a final burial. ”
"Your lord, you are the king, you can't speak so arrogantly and unreasonably." Jibei Fu, who has the responsibility of teaching the princes and kings, said helplessly.
Liu Luan laughed, "Wang Fu has taught this king for half his life, but he still can't change the problem of this king talking like this." I think you might as well rest and talk so happily! ”
Jibei Fu sighed helplessly.
Suddenly, several cavalrymen rode up and shouted, "Who is under the pavilion?" Please also use your name! ”
Liu Luan ignored the heavy rain, walked into the rain curtain, and shouted at the knight: "I am Liu Luan, the king of Jibei!" ”
"It turned out to be the king's face." After confirming the identity of the person who came, Cao Cao slowly walked over.
"Xiaguan Zhonglang will Cao Cao, meet the king of Jibei!"
Liu Luan looked Cao Cao up and down, and said, "It's really a court guard, it turns out that you are Cao Cao!" ”
"Ignorant of the name of the erection, how dare you worry about the king." Cao Cao said humbly.
"The name of Cao Mengde, this king is like thunder, where are you going?" Liu Luan asked with a smile.
Cao Cao's expression was slightly paused for a moment, and then he said to Liu Luan: "If the lower official informs the king of the whereabouts of our waiting, I implore the king to allow the lower official to send soldiers and horses to escort you to your majesty." ”
"Why is that?" Liu Luan was puzzled.
Jibei Fu, who is still an old man, reminded Liu Luan softly in his ear, which made Liu Luan react.
Liu Luan coughed lightly and said, "This king is just a little curious, if it's inconvenient for you, don't say it." Ordered to be sent, the king couldn't ask for it, this way, the thieves came out of nowhere, and the king didn't have a good night's sleep. ”
After having no worries, Cao Cao said calmly: "King Liang refused to obey His Majesty's will, His Majesty was furious, and issued a decree to remove the country!" ”
Liu Luan was so frightened that his face changed instantly, "King Liang...... Rebellion?! ”
Cao Cao was noncommittal, there was no affirmation, and there was no denial.
But silence is also an answer.
"I seem to be talking too much." Liu Luan was full of uneasiness and muttered.
Cao Cao was very satisfied with the effect of his words.
After he left behind 300 elite soldiers, he said to Liu Luan: "Take care, the king takes care, the lower officials have a military plane with him, and he doesn't dare to stay here longer." ”
"These three hundred soldiers are all elite soldiers personally trained by His Majesty in the West Garden, and they will be able to send the king to Cheng'an safe and sound. But please also ask the king to restrain his subordinates and not let them walk freely, so as not to cause some unnecessary misunderstandings. ”
Although Cao Cao's words were extremely subtle, Liu Luan could also hear the threat in it.
It's just that Liu Luan has been guarding himself all his life, and when he heard this, not only did he not feel the slightest displeasure, but he also felt a lot more at ease.
Seeing Cao Cao's army go away, Liu Luan said to everyone around him with a calm face: "Please also be cautious in your words and deeds, don't fall into a dangerous place." As soon as the rain was a little lighter, we set off for Cheng'an Miansheng. ”
"Whoa!"
The ministers were awe-inspiring, looking at the three hundred soldiers standing in the rain with long knives in their hands, and they didn't dare to take a breath.
The sense of oppression is just too strong.
Compared with these three hundred soldiers, the two hundred palace guards who came with them were simply a bunch of waste.
In contrast, the judgment is made from the top.
If one is an eagle in the sky, then the other is a reptile on the ground.
Liu Luan turned back into the grass house, looked at the knight standing motionless in the rain, and couldn't help but sigh: "What an elite soldier!" ”
"This is what a soldier should look like when he steps on a horse. Look, the rain is almost flowing like a river on the face, people's expressions are unchanged, and the tense posture seems to be killing people at any time! ”
"Look at these soldiers in our palace, I am really ashamed to bring you like this."
Liu Luan seemed to be admiring a peerless beauty, admiring the knight in the rain curtain, and from time to time two beautiful words came out of his mouth, looking horizontally and vertically, as if he couldn't see enough.
But these officials under his command couldn't laugh at all.
"Aren't you aware of what's going on, my lord?" Jibei Fu said softly.
Liu Luan came back to his senses, smiled and said, "I realized, how could this king be so stupid!" ”
"I don't know if King Liang has plotted against this king, but Your Majesty must have looked at us princes and kings unpleasantly."
"If this king leaves a little later, maybe His Majesty's guards will also block this king's palace!"
Jibei Fu asked with some surprise: "Then why are you still so calm and relaxed, the king?" ”
"Why can't this king be leisurely? After I arrived in Cheng'an, I handed over all the food estates, hey, I asked myself to get rid of the country and move to Luoyang to live. At the foot of the world, it is definitely safer than in Jibeiguo. Bao Xin's house has recently made the king's heart unsteady, and now it's okay, a godsend. ”
Jibei Fu: ......
"Your lord, you have such a high opinion, your subordinates can laugh out loud now." Jibei Fu Lao Huai was relieved, "The princes and kings of the world have no right to govern the people, and in such a troubled era, they can save the food if they ask for the removal of the country." ”
"Don't, don't, what do you want, this king's wealth is enough now." Liu Luan said very simply, "If you want to eat, you want to be a scourge, you look at these elite soldiers outside who seem to be beaten with iron, do they look like piles of money and grain?" ”
"This king guesses, Your Majesty wants to get money and food now, and his eyes are already red when he thinks of it. At this time, what does this king do with those things? I am beautiful when I become Your Majesty, and I am also beautiful! ”
Jibei Fu was speechless again.
In the grass house, the atmosphere of everyone quietly relaxed.
There is not a single person here who is not worried that their king will stand up to the emperor.
Liu Luan didn't know what he thought of, and suddenly laughed twice, "Maybe, this king can still live until the world is unified, and the Haiyan River is clear." Liu Yan's guy is actually really harmful, he is comfortable in Yizhou, but we are going to suffer as kings. ”
"No, it's other kings, except for this king!"
Jibei Fu complimented, "Your Majesty, if you have such knowledge, even if you are no longer the King of Jibei, you will definitely be reused by Your Majesty." ”
Liu Luan was suddenly a little entangled, "This king also wants to, but how cruel are the rumors about His Majesty in the world!" ”
"If this is really such a cruel and unkind emperor, then wouldn't I help the abuse!"
Jibei Fu bowed slightly, "Those rumors about His Majesty, the minister has also thought about it again and again, but then the minister suddenly thought that none of the three of Lu Zhi, Zhu Jun, and Huangfu Song did not seem to be a minister who did not distinguish between right and wrong and aided the abuse." ”
Liu Luan laughed, "This king's old prince, your idea is really a different way, but what if they are loyal to the court and not the emperor?" You see, you're just looking away. ”
Jibei Fu: ......
He was about to explain again, but he saw Liu Luan licking the corners of his mouth, and said with pity: "Actually, this king is also very willing to be a traitorous minister, and I will kill Liu Yan first, this erection is not a son of man!" ”
Jibei Fu: ......
