There was no place to live, so Li Jue took Emperor Xian hostage and went to live in Xiwu, where Dong Zhuo had lived and Cao Zhi had looted.
During this period, Jia Xu also ran around because of the feud between Li Jue and Guo Si, hoping to persuade him. However, Li Jue and others repeatedly refused to listen. When Jia Xu saw that the days of this group of bandits were over, he came up with a plan.
I have the intention to retreat and leave. For
To escape safely, Jia Xu had his own clever plan. He first contacted some young and courageous loyal officials such as Zhong Yao, and asked them to prepare to protect the emperor's escape. He also designed Li Jue's subordinate Yang Feng to rebel and commit suicide
As Li Jue gradually declined, Yang
Feng could not defeat Li Jue. At this time, Jia Xu once again invited Guo Si's men to kidnap Emperor Xian and bring him to him. After fighting for a long time, Li Jue, Guo Si and other Liangzhou generals, who had almost calmed down, once again
A fight broke out. Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty took the opportunity to attack Yang
Fenghe and the cavalry general Dong Cheng (uncle of Emperor Xian and nephew of Empress Dowager Dong) escaped from Chang'an and wanted to return east to Luoyang. Jia Xu also fled in this chaos, leaving Li Jue and Guo Si.
Traveling eastward, he then turned south to pursue his own future.
As soon as Emperor Xian came out of Chang'an, he was quite foresighted. He reached Luoyang with just such a small number of troops and horses, but he could not hold it and could not stay there for long. Emperor Xian urgently needed to invite foreign vassals to come to serve the king, so when he arrived in Hongnong, Emperor Xian ordered a group of ministers
When traveling to various places, the goal is to invite all the princes to come to Qinwang.
Zhong Yao, Wei Duan and Zhang Ji were just such a group of pacification historians who went out to patrol the area. As soon as they left Hongnong, they analyzed where they should go, which way to move the governor, and the state pastor came to Qinwang. They
First I thought of Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu, and then I heard that Yuan Shao was
Fighting against Gongsun Zan, there was no way he would have any spare energy to serve the king. Yuan Shu was even worse. He had just been defeated by Cao Cao in Yanzhou and lost a large area of land and men. Even his hometown of Nanyang was taken over by Liu Biao. Then Zhong Yao thought of it at this time
Cao Cao, how about we go find him!
But before they were halfway there, they heard that Cao Cao and Tao Qian were fighting again, and this battle also implicated Liu Biao and Yuan Shao. Zhong Yao and others saw that there was no one to find in this vast area of the Central Plains.
, so they focused their attention on the north again.
At this time, only the annexation was left in the north, and the two states of Liang were still at peace. Although Zhong Yao and others considered Han Sui and Ma Teng's strength to send troops to Chang'an, and the two states they belonged to were actually one body, with a large territory and strong soldiers and horses. Although the north
It was bitterly cold, but this place was a place where powerful people often appeared. In the opinion of Zhong Yao and others, if the emperor could get the support and protection of Han Sui and Ma Teng, he would definitely be able to fight against all the princes in the world who disobeyed the king.
So Zhong Yao and others came to Jinyang via Bingzhou. Unexpectedly, they met Han Sui as soon as they arrived in Jinyang. The Ma and Teng families broke up and started fighting. Zhong Yao regretted it and secretly said that he was unlucky.
He actively mediated disputes between the two families and tried to persuade them to make peace. Zhong Yao even sent Wei Duan and Zhang Ji to Ma Teng to persuade them, while he himself worked on Han Sui's side.
But Zhong Yao waited at the wrong time. When they arrived in Jinyang, they happened to catch up with Han Sui's first defeat of Yanmen. As soon as Han Sui returned to the station, he saw Zhong Yao and his pacification envoys. Han Sui also
If you are considered a politically aware person, you should immediately wait for Zhong Yao with good wine and good food.
The people were well supported. I sent people to Xiliang first to rob Ma Teng's first wife, and before the second war, I took Ma Teng's eldest wife as a sacrifice to his military flag. This was okay, the two families immediately got rid of the dispute.
They became enemies and quickly developed into merciless attacks on each other.
This also made Zhong Yao's efforts in persuading peace for a period of time come to naught. When Han Sui captured Yanmen and Zhong Yao asked Han Sui to calm down again, this old guy who was almost sixty years old was addicted to killing, and he didn't know where to start.
He kidnapped Ma Teng's daughter-in-law and claimed that she also wanted her blood as a sacrifice to the soldiers who died in the Battle of Yanmen.
How could Zhong Yao let him kill him at this time? If he continued to kill him, the two families would not even talk about making peace, but would directly become sworn enemies. Zhong Yao stopped Han Sui's indiscriminate killing and protected Yang Wan.
He got up and said that if Han Sui wanted to kill the girl, he would leave immediately and introduce the emperor to Han Sui. The matter of commending Han Sui came to an end.
Speaking of Zhong Yao, the pacifier, he is actually the imperial envoy in the current drama. They still have some power and prestige. They can recruit county governors, governors, and state pastors from various places in the name of the emperor (of course, they have to get rid of him). The most important thing is
The best thing to do is to report the official appointment of someone by the imperial court, and the emperor will basically report it accurately.
Han Sui was almost sixty, but his political awareness was not weak. He concluded that Dong Zhuo, Li Jue, Guo Si, etc., who were also born in Liangzhou like him, were able to achieve success and not only dominate one area, but also dominate the world. The main reason was to control the emperor.
.So Han Sui always wanted to learn from their methods and stay with the emperor. He sent troops to Chang'an in the first two years for this purpose. However, in the battle of Changpingguan, he was defeated by Li Jue and Guo Si and failed.
Achieve what you want.
But this time the emperor sent a patrolling imperial envoy down and approached him proactively, asking him to lead troops into the capital. Moreover, the information brought by Zhong Yao stated that Li Jue and Guo Si had broken up and were dividing their forces to attack each other. This is undoubtedly the case.
God-given opportunity, if not now
The war with Ma Teng was about to begin, and Han Sui would immediately lead his troops straight to Chang'an. But the stubborn Ma Teng and his son came to cause trouble for him at this time. Han Sui told Zhong Yao to wait for a month until he could drive Ma Teng back to Xiliang.
, so he led his troops and followed Zhong Yao to rescue the emperor.
Zhong Yao saw the posture of Han Sui and Ma Teng constantly increasing their troops, and thought to himself: "Are you going to drive Ma Teng away this month? You have already killed his wife and captured his daughter-in-law. How can they be willing to turn around?"
Xiliang, Ma Chao has already occupied Shangdang. And even if Han
So he drove Ma Teng back to Xiliang, and they were willing to give up. If this situation continued, it would be a dead end. Moreover, after Ma Teng and Han Sui fought to the death, not to mention the loss of soldiers and horses, the emperor's supporters were not equal to
If one person is missing, the territory will also be missing!"
Zhong Yao admonished Han Sui and said: "Mr. Han, can you stop fighting, make peace between the two families, and then follow me to King Hongnong Qin?"
Han Sui jumped up as if his butt was on fire and claimed that Ma Teng was a thorn in his flesh and a thorn in his side. He would not be able to go to Qinwang with peace of mind unless he removed it.
Zhong Yao said: "If I ask Ma Teng to go with me, will you feel relieved?"
Han Sui thought about it. His hometown had not settled down and he was asked to lead troops to leave Bingzhou. He really couldn't feel at ease. So he refused Zhong Yao's persuasion and insisted on solving Ma Teng and his son before following Zhong Yao to save the emperor.
Zhong Yao is so anxious. By the time Han Sui and Ma Teng are almost at the same level, the emperor will definitely not be able to hold on anymore. How can Yang Feng's few soldiers and horses stop Li Jue and Guo Si who have come back to their senses?
.
At this time, in Zhong Yao's opinion, Cao Zhi, the governor of Danyang who triggered the fight between Han Sui and Ma Teng, came back again and came to Yanmen with his troops, with a posture of invasion.
Some time ago, news of Cao Zhi's riot in Jizhou had reached Bingzhou. Therefore, Zhong Yao took the initiative and came hand in hand with Han Sui, just to see what Cao Cao's younger brother was capable of doing in the north.
Big wind.
Zhong Yao followed Han Sui to the city defense at the north gate. When he saw Cao Zhi's strong lineup for the first time, the hope in his heart that had been extinguished by Han Sui was rekindled.
"This Cao Zhi is not bad! It's worth considering!" Zhong Yao now seemed to have thrown away the food in the basket. Seeing who had more soldiers and horses, he thought it was good, and immediately considered the matter of the King of Qin.
Of course, Han Sui didn't know that Zhong Yao had already thought of making another choice at this time. He just listened to Zhong Yao's persuasion and felt that it was reasonable, so he shouted to Xu Chu who was moving down the city and scolding him: "General Cao below the city, listen.
Now, Yanmen is under the rule of Han Sui, the governor of the merged state. It is no longer Ma Teng, but Ma Chao and his son. If you have an agreement with him, go to Xiliang to find them! This matter has nothing to do with our merged state!"
Xu Chu, who was in the midst of scolding, was suddenly interrupted by Han Sui's unfamiliar voice and was stunned!
"Who? Who is this old man?"
It was also at this time that Xu Chu noticed that there were suddenly many new faces in Yin Guan City today. Xu Chu was so absorbed in his "performance" that he didn't even notice that these words were actually spoken by the person in the city. He only knew that there was something in between.
An old man with a gray beard seems more suitable.
After looking at it for a while, I still couldn't figure out what official position the gray-bearded guard held. Even his appearance was just a rough idea. I couldn't tell whether his nose was straight or his eyes were big or not. I just knew his age.
Quite an old man.
So, after Xu Chu shook his head for a while, he continued to shout at the top of his voice: "Old man in the city, what are you talking about? Are you the green onion under Han Sui's tent?"
"His grandma's younger generation dares to ask my father which green onion he is? It's really unreasonable! Come and fight with me..."
Han Sui was so angry that he screamed. Just when he was about to go out of the city to kill Xu Chu, Zhong Yao immediately tried to persuade him: "Don't be anxious, Mr. Han. Don't be anxious. It's not worth getting so angry for a junior! Look at this man.
I don’t know Mr. Han here, so I’ll explain it to him when I come!”
After Zhong Yao finished speaking, he also raised his voice and shouted: "General Cao below the city has heard this. This person standing next to me is..."
"What? What... Hey, old man in robe, you haven't eaten. Why are you talking like a girl? You should be louder. Your Grandpa Xu's ears are big enough, so he can't hear you."
Clearly, who are you telling this to?"
It’s no wonder that at a distance of nearly a hundred meters, only the killers like Xu Chu and Han Sui with enough energy can make the people above and below the city hear clearly. Who is Zhong Yao? He is an authentic scribe.
My handwriting is pretty good, but my voice has never been practiced, so how can I carry it a hundred meters?
Zhong Yao talked for a long time, but not only did he not let Cao Jun under the city understand Han Sui's reputation, but he also made Xu Chu ridicule him. Not only did this not calm Han Sui's anger, Zhong Yao actually meant to arouse Han Sui's anger.
