When he heard "Taizhong doctor Cao Zhi", the young emperor stopped trembling and stood up excitedly. What made him feel at ease was that at least among the pair of people, he knew Cao Zhi. He remembered that he was in the Beigong, under his mother's house
Under arrangements, Liu Bian met with the minister who was responsible for his emperor's words and deeds, and his mother also praised him highly. In the eyes of a fourteen-year-old child, Cao Zhi is a good person, especially after what happened last night, under this situation Liu Bian
When Ben saw Cao Zhi, it was as if he was grasping at a life-saving straw.
Before Cao Zhi could speak to Liu Bian, he heard Cao Cao continue: "A country cannot be without a king for a day. With ministers to protect you, please return the capital to your majesty." Liu Bian and Liu Xie looked at each other, and this night was going to happen to them.
To be honest, I have gone through a lot of hardships, so I thought it would be better to go back.
"A country cannot live without a king for a day" also shows that Cao Cao has never given up on the Han Dynasty. The king and the country are still the most important to him. He had no choice but to leave with Cao Zhi last night, but now he has become the hero of his rescue.
Then he is still willing to leave. Cao Zhi was very anxious. The emperor had seen it. Where had the Queen Mother gone? Didn't it mean that the young emperor Liu Bian and the Queen Mother were kidnapped out of the palace together? Cao Cao protected the young emperor as if he were protecting his father, so Cao Zhi kept
There was no chance to ask the young emperor about the whereabouts of the Queen Mother.
Cao Cao and Cao Zhi led their men and horses to protect the holy cavalry and headed towards Luoyang City. Not long after walking, a group of men and horses appeared in front of them. It turned out to be Yin Wangyun of Henan, Yuan Shao, the captain of the cavalry school, and other ministers, who also came here with more than a thousand infantry.
When they saw that the emperor and King Chenliu were safe and sound, they couldn't help but clapped their hands and celebrated. They said to the young emperor: "The eunuchs who have caused harm to the country and the people have been eliminated, and the fire in the palace has been put out. Your Majesty does not need to worry, and the world will be peaceful from now on!"
As soon as Henan Yin Wangyun said these words, he heard the sound of the Qiang flute in front of him. Following the sound, he saw billowing smoke and dust on the horizon. In the smoke and dust, there were countless flags flying, countless spears and spears flashing. In an instant,
A team that was more numerous and more powerful than Yuan Shao and Cao Cao's imperial army rushed over.
This is Dong Zhuo's Liangzhou Army, which can be seen just from the flag. The Liangzhou Army's flags and armor are distinctive, especially their cavalry, which is what the Liangzhou Army is most proud of. Their horses are almost entirely covered with armor.
The Liangzhou troops on horseback all looked rough, probably because they had been on the battlefield for a long time. Cao Zhi believed that Dong Zhuo deliberately brought these fierce-looking soldiers in order to give people an aura of conquering everything.
Look, isn't Yuan Shao overwhelmed by this momentum? To be honest, it can be seen from the facial expressions that many ministers were shocked by this momentum. Yuan Shao, Wang Yun, Lu Zhi and other ministers saw that they were Dong Zhuo's banners
They were shocked. They hurriedly ordered themselves and Cao Cao's troops to stop and shrink, and protected the emperor and King Chen Liu. At this time, everyone was thinking about the same question, how did Dong Zhuo come so fast, why did this happen, and what was Yuan Shao's imperial edict?
It was only sent out the night before yesterday, and he arrived today, which is too fast. Lu Zhi's words gave everyone a rough idea of why Dong Zhuo came so quickly. It turned out that some time ago, the general of Sili District reported to Shangshu Lu Zhi that Dong Zhuo had sent someone there without permission.
His Liangzhou army moved eastward, all the way to Fufeng and Hedong counties in Sili District, which were only four to five hundred miles away from Luoyang. At that time, He Jin, Yuan Shao and the eunuchs had their first fierce battle for the throne.
, no one had the time to pursue Dong Zhuo's matter. This gave Dong Zhuo an opportunity to take advantage of it. He had received the imperial edict yesterday and came with his troops. Moreover, he had an informant in Luoyang and reported every move in Luoyang to him. Zhang Xiang sent
When someone reported the whereabouts of Zhang Rang and others to the court, he also received a secret. Dong Zhuo definitely judged that the emperor was also in this area, so Dong Zhuo led his troops straight to Beiman Mountain instead of entering Luoyang.
Yuan Shao pondered in his mind: Dong Zhuo didn't come early or late. Is it a blessing or a curse to show up at this time?
Cao Cao glanced at Cao Zhi and began to believe what his brother said.
Yuan Shao was now the top officer of this army. He bravely slapped his horse and stepped forward, shouting: "Who is coming?"
The Liangzhou army slowly stopped. The sound of the Qiang flute also stopped. I saw a general flashing out of the shadow of the tooth flag. He was as tall as an iron tower and had a beard on his face. Everywhere where his skin was visible was covered with blood.
The bumpy man (Cao Zhi estimated that this person was suffering from endocrine disorders) was covered with acne, covered in bright light armor, riding a "red rabbit" horse, holding a spear seven or eight feet long, and walked towards Yuan Shao menacingly. The visitor.
Li ignored Yuan Shao and asked, "Where is the Emperor?"
Yuan Shao realized that Dong Zhuo was not a good person, so he stopped beating around the bush and said directly: "Dong Zhuo, the governor of Xiliang, has heard this! The Queen Mother is now the regent, and the Queen Mother has ordered you to lead your troops to leave Luoyang quickly and return to Liangzhou."
Dong Zhuo, who was on Chitu's horse, laughed loudly after hearing this, glanced at Yuan Shao and shouted: "Who are you? How dare you spread the Queen Mother's decree indiscriminately. I, Dong Zhuo, follow the emperor's imperial decree. Who dares to disobey the imperial order when I come to the capital to serve as king!"
Then he took out a volume of "Imperial Edict" from his arms and waved it to Yuan Shao. Of course Yuan Shao knew that this volume of "Imperial Edict" was forged by him and He Jin two days ago. He lowered his head with a guilty conscience and retreated dejectedly.
.
While Yuan Shao and Dong Zhuo were talking, Cao Zhi and Cao Cao quickly exchanged opinions on the current situation. Cao Zhi asked Cao Cao, "If we want to fight, how can we win with the more than a thousand horses we have now and the seven or eight hundred people Yuan Shao has brought?"
Can you pass the troops brought by Dong Zhuo?" Cao Cao observed secretly and estimated the number of Dong Zhuo's troops. Without turning his face or squinting, he said softly to Cao Zhi: "I'm afraid there are three or four thousand people, and the equipment.
They are excellent, mostly cavalry, and have little chance of winning." Cao Zhi followed Cao Cao's words and carefully looked at Dong Zhuo's cavalry. The men and horses were indeed strong. Looking back at his own part, he saw that his army was in good order, but most of them were horses.
The infantry. Yuan Shao's group is even worse. When they killed the eunuchs yesterday, they were all like wolves and tigers. Now they see the fierce Liangzhou army, and they are all timid. Besides, these people have spent the whole night killing and robbing, and now they have to
If he really fought against Dong Zhuo's men, he would probably lose all his strength. Cao Zhi sighed secretly.
Dong Zhuo drove away Yuan Shao and became even more arrogant. He shouted like thunder from the court: "Where is the Emperor?" At this time, the young emperor Liu Bian was so frightened that he started to tremble again and hid behind Cao Zhima without daring to say a word. Cao Zhi was thinking
He rushed out and yelled at Dong Zhuo, who was so stinking, he had a loud voice and sang tenor. Why are you shouting here? Just when Cao Zhi was about to be impulsive again, there was a small hand beside him tugging at the corner of his clothes. Cao Zhi turned around
At first glance, it turned out that King Chenliu and Liu Xie had squeezed in beside him at some point, tugging at the corners of his clothes, and pointed at Cao Zhi's shoulders. Cao Zhi understood, picked up King Chenliu, and put him on his shoulders.
The horses came out of the crowd. Liu Xiewa asked Dong Zhuo angrily, "Are you Dong Zhuo, the governor of Xiliang? Are you here to escort or rob him?"
As soon as Liu Xie's words came out, everyone was startled. Cao Zhi didn't expect Liu Xie to ask this question, so he quietly moved a hand to the handle of the knife.
Dong Zhuo was also stunned when asked, and immediately replied: "Of course I am here to escort you."
"I don't think Governor Dong is here to rob him." Liu Xie continued, "But even if he is here to escort you, the emperor is here, why don't you kneel down?" As he said this, he pointed towards the person, and the person came.
Then he dodged to both sides, revealing the young emperor Zhan Zhan Kou Kou.
Dong Zhuo immediately pretended to be shocked and hurriedly threw away the straw. He rolled his saddle and dismounted, kneeling in the dust and saying: "Your Majesty, please forgive me for being rude..."
The young emperor was so trembling that he didn't know how to answer, but Liu Xie was clever and said to Dong Zhuo: "Dong, the governor, has escorted you for thousands of miles. He is truly a loyal minister. Get up! Escort the emperor back to the palace!"
Dong Zhuo said "obey the order", stood up from the ground, jumped on his horse, and carefully looked at the little man King Chenliu. The more he looked at him, the more he liked him. Then he looked at the young emperor Liu Bian, who had a bit of an emperor's temperament.
In this way, the two groups of people joined together and headed towards Luoyang. Cao Zhicai left Luoyang at midnight and was forced to return.
On the way, he finally figured out the whereabouts of Queen Mother He from King Chenliu. When Zhang Rang and others were walking to a mountainside near Beimang Mountain, Queen Mother He took advantage of the chaos and slipped out of the carriage and rolled down the hillside. Zhang Rang and others were afraid of pursuing her.
The soldiers caught up and had no time to search for Queen Mother He and fled in a hurry.
