The moon is dark and the wind is high...

"Murderful night!" Such a word popped up in his mind inexplicably. Liu Xuan raised his head and looked at the gloomy sky. He felt that it was so dark that he couldn't see any stars.

In addition, although spring has begun at this time, the weather has not completely warmed up yet. The wind at night blew on my face, which made my whole face feel numb.

He turned around and looked at the driver next to him. Under the raised curtain, a pretty face that was not big and could be completely covered with one hand was revealed. His expression was slightly worried, and he kept looking at Liu Xuan.

He looked around, and after a while he finally said: "Your Majesty, why don't you get in the car, and you can avoid the cold wind."

Liu Xuan sat high on the horse. This horse was a fine horse carefully selected in the imperial city and specially given to the emperor to ride. In fact, it is not correct to say that. The horse the emperor rode must look good, and

He has a gentle temper and will not go crazy suddenly to avoid hurting the emperor. But when it comes to foot strength, he is average to above average at best.

Not to mention the red rabbit that Lu Bu rides, even Cao Cao's Jueying is more than one level stronger than the horse that Liu Xuan rides.

Of course Liu Xuan was confident of subduing those truly good horses, but this was not the time to dwell on such trivial matters. He finally expected Dong Zhuo to leave the capital, lead his troops and horses to sit in Hulao, and compete with the heroes of Guandong.

Taking this opportunity to leave Luoyang and go to Chang'an, how long will it take?

In fact, this plan did not go so smoothly. At the beginning, Dong Zhuo did not want to personally lead the troops to fight the heroes of Guandong, but only sent Hua Xiong to guard the pass.

However, Hua Xiong wanted to make meritorious deeds, and after arriving at Hulao Pass (also Sishui Pass), he directly led his troops out to meet the enemy.

It must be said that Hua Xiong is indeed somewhat capable. The first few battles he fought made the heroes of Guandong cry for father and mother. The vanguard of the coalition of heroes, Sun Wentai of Jiangdong, was defeated in front of Hua Xiong and even lost his general Zu Mao.

.

When the news came back to Luoyang, the princes of the Manchu Dynasty were also shocked. You must know that Sun Jian, known as the Tiger of Jiangdong and a very famous general, was beaten severely by Hua Xiong. Could it be that Dong Zhuo was immortal? Fortunately, it was later reported that

When the news arrived, Hua Xiong was beheaded by a red-faced general in the coalition army. The princes secretly breathed a sigh of relief, but this made Dong Zhuo furious.

At this time, Liu Xuan had already discussed with Wang Yun the matter of moving the capital. Although many courtiers, such as Taiwei Yang Biao, Sili Xiaowei Huang Wan, Taishi Lu Kui and Dahonglu Zhou Huan, felt that moving the capital to avoid disaster would harm the country.

Wei, but this is an unusual time, so I don’t care so much.

Zongzheng and Liu Ai are members of the royal family. At this time, they only consider the interests of the royal family. Even if the land is like this, it will not have much impact if the land is relocated. I heard that Liu Xuan wanted to take advantage of Dong Zhuo's absence to lure the princes of the court to Yulin.

The army went to Chang'an, and then made Chang'an the capital to rule the world. What he was thinking about was how they could get to Chang'an smoothly. At the same time, Chang'an was controlled by Dong Zhuo, so how could they seize it?

Fortunately, Wang Yun was here at this time. Wang Situ knew that Liu Xuan had already won over Lu Bu, so he roughly revealed a few details to everyone, and just asked everyone to go back and make preparations separately. He would leave Luoyang immediately when the time was right.

Afterwards, the court was extremely calm for a period of time, but Dong Zhuo didn't know what happened. He just thought that when his troops moved, the people in the court realized that he was powerful and no longer dared to fight against him.

He thought that this would allow him to boldly deal with the Kwantung princes, so he thought of leading the troops to fight in person. However, Li Ru felt something was wrong and advised Dong Zhuo not to move lightly.

Lu Bu was by his side at the time. Hearing this, he immediately said: "Father, just go ahead with peace of mind. Bu himself will lead the Tiger and Ben troops to guard the capital, but if there is any abnormal movement, the whole clan will be executed."

After Lu Bu said this, Dong Zhuo naturally no longer had any worries. Although Li Ru felt something was wrong, he couldn't say anything. He just said: "Marquis Wen is sitting in the palace alone, so I'm afraid it's difficult to take care of everything. He also needs someone to control the capital and assist Wen."

Hou."

At this time, Liu Xuan had already issued an edict to confer Lu Bu the title of Marquis of Wen, so Li Ru called him that.

Lu Bu was secretly happy after hearing this, but he suppressed his expression and said: "Li Su and Bu are from the same hometown, and they have quite a lot of contacts on weekdays. Keeping him in the capital will ensure that Luoyang is safe."

Liu Xuan didn't even expect that wooing Lu Bu would have such an effect, because he was right next to Dong Zhuo and knew Dong Zhuo's movements at all times. In addition, he had Dong Zhuo's trust. With a few words, he directly confirmed Dong Zhuo's decision to lead his troops and leave the capital.

thought.

So in the spring of February of the first year of Jian'an, that is, the spring of 190 AD, Dong Zhuo led his army to Hulao and got close to the generals Xu Rong, Fan Chou and Zhang Ji. Li Jue, Guo Si and his son-in-law Niu Fu went to the northwest as early as possible

The local guardian has gone to his hometown.

As soon as Dong Zhuo left, Liu Xuan immediately became busy. In just two days, he was ready. He realized that it was dark today and could hardly see a shadow from far away, so he immediately brought important things and pulled

The chariots and horses left the city through the west gate of Luoyang - Li Su had received the news early, opened the city gate, and cut off the rear with soldiers.

At this time, the ministers of the Manchu Dynasty brought their families and numerous chariots and horses. The front army had already left Luoyang City, and the soldiers and horses behind were still guarding the city gate. Liu Xuan looked at this long team with no tail, and felt helpless.

’s wry smile.

"This is simply more depressing than Liu Xuande taking the people and fleeing south!"

Liu Bei still had enough distance and preparation time, but Liu Xuan was very tight on time. Fortunately, the Lieutenant Temple and the city gate school lieutenant were already in Liu Xuan's hands. Li Su and Huangfu Song took control of the city and blocked the city gate.

It can probably buy a few days without Dong Zhuo knowing about it.

However, Dong Zhuo sent people back to Luoyang from time to time to inquire about the situation. At that time, he could no longer hide the situation. At this time, he was worried about the time when the last wave of messengers had just left, and the next one would not arrive so soon.

Many people complained and complained loudly along the way, and Liu Xuan heard these words clearly. Even if there were sensible people around them who shouted loudly, Liu Xuan still knew the resentment in these people's hearts.

"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 remembered these people in his heart. He was not an open-minded person to begin with, and he was not satisfied with all the princes in the dynasty. He had long wanted to find a way to change the group.

"Take care of it slowly from now on!"

While he was cursing in his heart, Cai Yan's face appeared in the car next to him and called him to get in. The car was not big. In order to facilitate travel and not to make people aware of the abnormality, he just used a small car. Cai Yan and his personal palace maid

We were already facing each other in the car. If Liu Xuan, a big man like him, was getting on, the car would probably go even slower.

"This is a critical moment, how can we take care of that?"

However, Cai Yan was concerned about himself after all, so he couldn't refute him coldly and said: "Go forward quickly so that you can reach Tongguan as soon as possible. As long as you pass Tongguan, you can feel at ease."

As long as we enter Tongguan and seize the pass, we can rely on the pass to block Dong Zhuo's pursuing troops. Naturally, there is no need to rush the rest of the way.

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

After doing this for a few days, I was walking one day when I suddenly saw a commotion among the guards around me, and a noise from far behind. Looking back, I saw a slightly lit sky with smoke and dust everywhere, and the posture seemed to have a certain

The feeling of blocking out the sky and the sun.

"Such speed..."

Liu Xuan's eyes narrowed, and he immediately realized that this was Dong Zhuo's pursuit, and the speed was so fast that he might have sent all the cavalry he had.

Xun You, who was standing next to him, also saw the scene behind him. Seeing the emperor looking up with his head raised, he immediately said, "Dong Zhuo must have gotten the news and sent his cavalry to catch up so quickly."

Having said this, he looked up at Liu Xuan's face and found that the young emperor was still calm and very calm. He also secretly praised him in his heart. He felt that the lord chosen by his uncle was indeed somewhat extraordinary. That's all.

The state of mind that is calm in every situation is incomparable to ordinary people.

"But there is no need for your Majesty to worry. Even if the troops of General Huangfu and Lieutenant Li cannot repel the enemy troops, they can ensure that your Majesty and the princes are safe. Once the Yu Lin Army arrives, the enemy troops will be defeated."

The leader of this huge team was Lu Bu's Tiger Army. In addition to Lu Bu's bravery, they also relied on Lu Bu's status to deceive the gates of Tongguan and Chang'an.

Cao Cao led the Yulin army to ambush halfway, waiting for Dong Zhuo's pursuers to pass by and kill them, and then covered them up from behind, and cooperated with Huangfu Song and Li Su's troops to attack the enemy from both sides.

The enemies were all cavalry, so they were even more helpless against the attack from two sides. The winner was determined almost immediately as soon as the battle started. The nearly two thousand Yulin Cavalry Generals were trapped by Huangfu Song and Li Su.

The pursuers strangled them for a while, and finally chased them from behind for twenty miles. They completely defeated this army and then retreated. By the time they caught up with Liu Xuan's group again, Liu Xuan and the Manchu princes had almost reached Tongguan.

under.

When Cao Cao came back, Liu Xuan was resting in the temporary camp. Cao Cao strode in. Behind him was a round black thing in his hand. It was hard to see what it was in the dark. Waiting for the emperor to arrive soon.

In front of the tent, it was only by the light of the fire that he could see clearly that it was a head.

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

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

"oh?"

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

Everyone had been hurrying in a hurry a few days ago, thinking that Dong Zhuo would not catch up with them along the way. However, they were shocked when a sudden attack came a few days ago, and they did not dare to waste any more time after that.

After a few days, even those who were riding in the car felt that their whole bodies were about to fall apart, so they naturally had no good impressions of this person. When they saw his head, they felt a strong sigh of relief.

As for Cao Cao inviting this person here, he probably came to show his merit.

Liu Xuan naturally understood that he also recognized the general in front of him. He was Cao Ren and Cao Zixiao, Cao Cao's brother, and he was later a first-class military commander. Naturally, he was prepared to reuse him. At this time, he was probably sent to him.

To leave an impression in front of him.

"Let's record this achievement for the time being. When we get to Chang'an, we will reward you together!"

However, Liu Xuan did not expect that when everyone was resting, Cao Cao quietly asked: "Your Majesty, what do you think of Cao Zi's filial piety to control the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry?";
