Three days ago.

The 10,000-strong Wei army poured out from Hangu Pass and quickly swept through the counties outside Luoyang.

These 10,000 Wei troops were originally Cao Zhang's descendants, and after Cao Zhang shook hands with Cao Pi and made peace, they arranged to defend near Hangu Pass.

Originally, Cao Pi was going to take Cao Zhang's army of 10,000 people to Shouchun together, but after considering all aspects, there was no action.

It was only transferred to Chang'an that its elite was transferred, and the rest of the thousands of people, together with the original defenders of Hangu Pass, totaled as many as 10,000 people.

Leaving the army of 10,000 people here, Cao Pi may have his own plan, but no matter what his plan is, when Cao Zhang sent an envoy to Hangu Pass, most of the Wei army in Hangu Pass was clamoured.

After coming out of Hangu Pass.

Their ranks were neatly aligned and divided into several phalanxes, each with a solid array.

The flag was held high, and the fluttering military flag was printed with the coat of arms of the Marquis of Yanling, symbolizing their belonging.

The mood of the soldiers was high, the morale was high, and they shouted slogans all the way, and their voices were so loud that they seemed to be able to shake the sky.

The slogan "Cao Pi kills his father, the Marquis of Yanling is the king of Wei" echoed in the valley and inspired the fighting spirit of the soldiers.

And with the proclamation of this slogan, the whole county of Henan fell into a panic.

So much so that they did not suffer much resistance from Hangu Pass to Gucheng.

On the contrary, many people spontaneously joined them.

As for the reason, it is also very simple.

In the vicinity of Hangu Pass, so that in the area of Gucheng, many of these people are the people of Hanzhong, when Cao Cao attacked Hanzhong last year, he moved the people of Hanzhong to Chang'an, and some of them entered Luoyang.

When it comes to the people's reputation, Boss Cao is not even enough to lift shoes for Liu Bei.

As an immigrant, he naturally has no political status, and with the grudge in his heart, he wants to fight and find a way out for himself.

In addition, most of the people who joined the Wei army of 10,000 people who came out of Hangu Pass were also mountain bandits and rangers.

Most of these people have their own little ninety-nine.

Or you want to fight hard and get rich.

More often than not, they want to profit from chaos.

Cao Pi or Cao Zhang as the king of Wei, they don't care at all.

However, it doesn't matter if they get the benefits or not.

When they participate in the chaos and conquer cities and villages, they can take advantage of the chaos to loot.

What robbed the people's daughters, what gold, silver, money and food, it is all mine!

In the midst of the chaos, man's wildness was also unleashed.

At this time, man is more of a beast than a beast.

Moreover, these rangers, exiles, and people with ulterior motives who followed the 10,000-strong Wei army are also very smart.

If the Wei army that came out of Hangu Pass can really defeat Luoyang, then Cao Zhang, the yellow beard, can really become the new King of Wei.

Then they have the power to follow the dragon.

Won't you be able to get a half-official job then?

And when attacking Luoyang, you can also grab it fiercely.

Those white and tender noblewomen, they are all greedy.

The mouth is even more greedy.

If the 10,000-strong Wei army from Hangu Pass failed to capture Luoyang, and Cao Zhang's rebellion was suppressed in time, then they would not have died.

Directly do birds and beasts, go back to their own homes, and find their own mothers.

No matter how bad it is, the grass will be gone.

Therefore, when these people with all kinds of ulterior motives arrived in Valley City, the number of this rebel army was already 30,000.

Looking down from Gucheng, it was dense, and it was really impossible to see the end.

There is no serious Wei army in this valley city at all, only 500 county soldiers, so when the county magistrate sees this situation, what else can he resist?

Surrender!

That's why.

When the Wei army captured Gucheng, the situation in the city was chaotic.

The so-called siege warfare almost never happened.

This Wei army was almost bloodless, and took Gucheng.

And after taking Gucheng, the Wei army restrained by Deputy General Cao Zhang can still hold it, and those 'hyenas' who accompany you all the way will not be polite to you.

One by one, they rushed into the city, burning, killing and looting.

The city was suddenly filled with the tragic situation of war.

Many houses were set on fire, corpses were scattered in the streets and alleys, and the city was stained with blood.

The screams, the joyful voices of violence, the desperate fights, the cries of children

That's a lot of talking.

"Enough!"

The mob poured into the city to burn, kill and loot, and also led the Wei army to loot.

They are here to fight for the throne of Wei, but they are not bandits.

"Quickly go to pacify the city, whoever dares to cause chaos will be killed!" Vice Admiral Cao Zhang's face was very ugly.

However, an experienced lieutenant stepped forward and said: "Now if we step forward to stop it, it will be like adding water to hot oil, and it will splash all over the body. ”

There was obvious hesitation in the eyes of the adjutant general.

The task given to him by the Marquis of Yan Ling was not like this.

"Now that the situation is now, we can only act according to this, as long as we occupy the granary, we can gather a large army to capture Luoyang, and the task given to us by the prince will be completed."

Ay~

The lieutenant sighed and said, "This is the only way to go. ”

The 'carnival' in the valley city lasted for a whole day, and after a day, the Wei army took over the city defense, and if there was any more rebellion, they would be killed.

The situation in the city was quiet.

After that, they immediately opened a warehouse to release grain, and countless abused people, seeing this grain and grass, their eyes lit up, and many people directly joined in.

If you can't beat it, join in.

Instead of being bullied by others, it is better to bully others.

As a result, the Wei army that came out of Hangu Pass was even more numerous.

Its momentum was violent, and it was speeding towards Luoyang.

Time.

Henan is terrified.

Luoyang shakes!

Luoyang.

Myths such as Emperor Yu, Tang Yao, Yu Shun, and Xia Yu are mostly spread here.

Emperor Yu capital Boyi, Xia Taikang moved the capital to the city, Shang Tang Ding capital Xi'an; King Wu fell, and eight hundred princes would meet Mengjin; Zhou Gong assisted the government and moved Jiuding to Luoyi. King Ping moved eastward, Gaozu Duluo, Guangwu Zhongxing.

There are so many stories that have played out here.

Emperor Cuihan's residence, Heluo Kingdom.

Luoyang City is located in the north of Luoshui, the north of the water is called "Yang", so the name Luoyang, also known as Luoyi, Shendu.

The mountains and rivers in the territory are vertical and horizontal, the west is close to the Qinling Mountains, the east is adjacent to Songyue, the north is according to the Wangwu Mountain - Taihang Mountain, and according to the danger of the Yellow River, the south looks at the Funiu Mountain, since ancient times, there is a saying that "the capital of eight passes, surrounded by mountains on eight sides, and the five waters surround Los Angeles", so it gets the name of "the river and the mountain arch wear, the shape wins the armor in the world", and the name of "the thoroughfare of the ten provinces in the world".

However.

At this moment, in Luoyang City, the people are restless, and the officials and soldiers are not interested in doing business.

When the people in Luoyang City heard the news that Gucheng had been captured, they panicked for a while.

Some people hurriedly packed up their belongings, carried their children on their backs, and took the old and weak with them, and left Luoyang in a hurry to find a place to take refuge. The streets were chaotic, and the crowd was huddled together, scrambling to leave.

Gu Cheng's fate, they can be clear.

Officials are also feeling unprecedented pressure.

Wei Wangfu.

In the lobby of Shangshutai.

Liu Hui, Zheng Cheng, Xin Bi, Weiwei Xiahou Nan, Shang Shu Ling Huanjie and others hurriedly met, and everyone's faces were a little ugly, and they could even be described as Tie Qing.

They knew that they had to take action to stabilize the situation, otherwise, the rebellious army surrounded by the displaced people would really be able to defeat Luoyang.

And once Luoyang fell.

The consequences are unimaginable.

At least these few people in Shangshutai can't afford to take responsibility.

"Ladies and gentlemen, how should we make a decision when the situation is like this?"

Shang Shu Ling Huan looked around at everyone, his face slightly gloomy.

Xiahou Nan immediately stepped forward and said: "First send a messenger to Shouchun to inform the king, and at the same time, Luoyang City is under martial law, and the nearby army is summoned to defend Luoyang. ”

Xiahou Nan is the position of the guard, responsible for the defense of Luoyang and the palace ban, plus he is a relative, and he is deeply favored by the King of Wei, he is the most qualified person to say this.

"The messenger has already been sent, but it is really inappropriate to summon a large army from the vicinity to defend Luoyang." Liu Hui has his own ideas.

"What's the high point of the waiter?"

Liu Xianai was the queen of Liu Fa, the king of Changsha in the Western Han Dynasty. At the beginning, he was from Jingzhou Mu Liu Biao, and then defected to Cao Cao, who was very respected and was a waiter of the Yellow Gate. Cao Pi succeeded to the throne, promoted to the rank of servant, and gave the title of Marquis of Guannei.

He advocates punishment before etiquette, and he is familiar with the art of astronomical calendars, which is on par with celebrities such as Sima Hui and Ding Yi.

Therefore, his opinion, Xiahou Nan did not dare to ignore it.

"I heard that the banner of the chaotic army is 'Cao Pi killed his father, and the Marquis of Yanling is the king of Wei', this matter is probably related to the Marquis of Yanling, if the foreign army is summoned into Luo, this foreign army has people with ulterior motives, this Luoyang Eight Passes, isn't it a vain?"

These 10,000 rebels came directly from Hangu Pass, so they were able to break through the eight passes of Luoyang.

These people are a scourge.

But if it is to calm this one calamity, it will lead to other calamities, is it worth it?

"Besides, that Guan Yunchang has been in Wancheng, I heard that he has been training soldiers, in order to avenge the revenge of the day, if we send Yingchuan's troops to come to help, will Yingchuan give it to others? You must know, Your Majesty is in Xudu? ”

After Liu Hui finished speaking, everyone was silent.

"Actually, it's hard for us to come up with ideas, and now in Luoyang, someone should preside over the overall situation." Wudehou Fu Zheng said that at this moment, he said pointedly.

Presiding over the big picture?

Everyone in the hall look at me, I look at you, and they don't know what to say for a while.

Before Cao Pi left, it was indeed to let Wudehou Cao Rong supervise the country, and their group of ministers assisted on the side.

However.

At the same time as letting Cao Rong supervise the country, Cao Pi also confined Cao Rong of Wudehou in the palace, except for Wudehou Fu Zheng, who said that he could enter, the rest of the people could not easily go to see Wudehou.

King Wei's arrangement made them, the ministers, dare not make up their minds too quickly for a while.

To say that Wu Dehou has been loved by his grandfather Cao Cao since he was a child. He is often left and right.

He was young and intelligent, and the former king once said in amazement: "I have the inheritance of three worlds based on you." ”

At the court banquet, he was often called to be placed alongside the close ministers in the court.

Therefore, when Cao Pi ascended the throne of Wei, he was named Wudehou to reassure people.

But after all, it is after Mrs. Zhen, and Mrs. Zhen is now

Maybe King Wei also has mixed feelings in his heart, and he doesn't know how to face this son.

Everyone hesitated, but Zheng Cheng's words did not stop.

"Marquis Wude is the bloodline of the king, and he has been appointed to stay in the prison country, and at this time of crisis, he should be allowed to come out of the palace and preside over the overall situation!"

As Cao Ei's master.

Zheng said that he knew too well what he was capable of as a student.

He was far more intelligent than others expected.

It's just because of other miscellaneous things that he was trapped in the shallows.

As long as he can help Luoyang through this crisis, the king will definitely be impressed with it.

Planning for one's own disciples is what a master should do.

"Maybe ask the Queen Mother to come and preside over the overall situation, she is highly respected, and the Marquis of Yanling is also her bloodline, maybe she can quell this chaos without blood."

"If that yellow beard insists on rebelling, it is useless for the Queen Mother to come out and say anything." Shang Shu Ling Huanjie said with a sigh.

"Perhaps, as the waiter said, please invite Wu Dehou to come and preside over the overall situation." Xiahou Nan also said on the side.

"Nope! The Queen Mother should be invited! ”

The names of the Empress Dowager Bian and the Marquis of Wude, Cao Rong, were proposed, and the controversy over the position of prisoner became fierce.

The dispute in the lobby went on for a long time, the parties were arguing, and all parties were unwilling to compromise.

"Everyone, listen to me."

Simbi stepped forward at this moment.

His eyes flickered, he looked around at everyone, and said, "Why do you need to let the Queen Mother or Wu Dehou come to preside over the overall situation?" I'll wait for the two of you to go out of the mountain, can't you? ”

He proposed a compromise plan, suggesting that the Empress Dowager Bian and the Marquis of Wude Cao Rong should jointly supervise the country.

"This"

Zheng Cheng's eyes flickered, and after he hesitated for a moment, he nodded heavily.

"That's a good plan!"

The Queen Mother Bian is also fond of Cao Rong, and it makes no difference if the Queen Mother comes out to supervise the country together.

Wu Dehou only needs to show ability.

In terms of credit, can he use it?

"The matter is critical, this matter should not be delayed for too long, and decisions should be made as soon as possible, otherwise, when the rebellious army arrives in Luoyang, everything will be late."

Xiahou Nan urged on the side.

He is the son of Xiahou Xuan, and he can be said to be the relative of Cao Wei, so he chose who was the head of the prison state, and he directly pushed Cao Rong.

After all, the queen mother is a later wave, no matter whether Wudehou will become the new king of Wei in the future, in short, it is always a loss to bet on him.

"The decision has been decided, then I will go and invite Wu Dehou, and you will invite the Queen Mother."

Zheng said that he was about to go towards the location of Wu Dehou in the palace.

Xiahou Nan's face was expressionless, and he said, "I'll go with you." ”

When Xiahou Nan said this, the rest of the people in the hall came back to it.

Ahem.

Shang Shu Ling Huanjie coughed and said, "Then I will also go with the two of you to invite Wu Dehou." ”

The rest of the people, you look at me, I look at you, especially a few people who advocated for the Queen Mother and Mrs. Bian to come to preside, Gu was speechless.

They had to think:

Because of Mrs. Zhen, I heard that His Majesty intends to make Cao Li the heir, who will be the king of Wei in the future, that is not necessarily!

Now.

In the deep palace.

There is a tasteful courtyard.

In the windowed room in the courtyard, there was a young man in a brocade robe tied to two balls.

In ancient times, men generally reached adulthood at the age of twenty and were crowned. Those who are under the age of twenty are bound to study at the age of fifteen. Before the age of fifteen, it was to tie two balls, the male was called the chief horn, and the female was called the maid.

Speaking of which, Cao Rong is also thirteen years old this year, almost the same age as Liu Chan.

Maybe it's because I've experienced a lot.

Despite the splendid costumes, Cao Rong's eyebrows reveal a deep and mature. His eyes were deep and dark, as if they hid endless wisdom and inner contemplation. These eyes are bright and sharp, revealing maturity beyond age.

At this time, Zheng Cheng's cheerful voice had already come from outside the palace gate.

"Yuan Zhong, good news, today, you can show your ambitions and let the world know that the time has come for you Wu Dehou!"
