As Cao Zhi spoke, he reached out to touch his left and right cheeks. At this time, Zhao Yun got closer to Cao Zhi and noticed the shoe prints on Cao Zhi's left face. "Um, um, Zuo..." Zhao Yun wanted to tell Cao Zhi what to do on his left face.
There were shoe prints, and while following the direction Jia Xu pointed just now, he looked at the evidence "left" on Cao Zhi's body from top to bottom, and then thought about the Yang family in the backyard who was kidnapped by Cao Zhi, and finally understood what Jia Xu
What does it mean when you say Cao Zhi is in a bad mood?
"Hehe, hehe!"
Because Cao Zhi couldn't see his own face, he only knew that Zhao Yun was holding back his laughter after watching him and retreating behind Zhong Yao and Xun Chen. Only then did Cao Zhi notice that Zhong Yao and Xun Chen were also holding back their laughter.
smile.
Cao Zhi finally understood that they all guessed from Jia Xu's hint that Cao Zhi was frustrated with Yang Wan tonight.
"It's not like that... Listen to me..." Cao Zhi, who tried his best to explain, wiped the left side of his face with shoe marks and reached out to stop Zhong Yao and others who were retreating to the front hall. But in the end, he gave up.
Whatever he can explain is a fact. I can only sigh that this Jia Xu is so powerful. From just a few appearances and some scattered information, he can analyze what happened to Cao Zhi one night. This man is really quite capable.
Cao Zhi hated Jia Xu for making him look embarrassed, and his teeth itched with hatred, but he had to admire this guy's talent!
Cao Zhi walked back to the front hall and took his seat in a good-natured and funny mood. In the first contest, Cao Zhi and Jia Xu had each other's offense and defense, and both showed their shining points. But Jia Xu's analysis was genuine.
, it is inferred that Cao Zhi simply relied on historical knowledge to make a fool of himself.
Of course, everyone was fooled by Cao Zhi, thinking that he also had a clever plan!
Jia Xu entered the front hall at this time, without being arrogant or pretending to be polite. He followed Zhong Yao and sat down next to Cao Zhi early. Zhong Yao returned to his anxious demeanor at this time, forcing Jia Xu to stay, but
I have more confidence in protecting Emperor Xian, but the most important thing now is to persuade Cao Zhi to quickly lead his troops to rescue him. Emperor Xian of Han is already in danger.
Cao Zhi also knew that Zhong Yao was in a hurry, so he was not in a hurry to talk to Jia Xu anymore. He couldn't run away for a while anyway. Cao Zhi asked Zhong Yao to talk about the emperor's situation first.
Zhong Yao also refused to give in and spoke impatiently. About a month ago, when Zhong Yao left Hongnong to look for reinforcements from King Qin, Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty was protected by the troops of Yang Feng and Dong Cheng and repelled Li Jue.
The attacking troops brought the situation under temporary control.
But the good times did not last long. Guo Si learned about Emperor Xian's escape eastward and led his troops to rob the emperor. Dong Cheng and Yang Feng defeated Guo Si again and drove back Guo Si's troops for more than 20 miles.
The next day, Guo Si came to kill him again. In the critical situation, Dong Cheng led his troops from the southeast and Yang Feng from the northwest. They attacked Guo Si from both sides and defeated him.
On the way back from the defeat, Guo Si bumped into Li Jue. Guo Si said to Li Jue: "If the emperor escapes from Guanzhong, he will order the princes to attack us. Then we will be in great trouble."
Li Jue weighed the current situation and found out that since he lost supervision of the emperor, several Xiliang warlords who originally submitted to him have rebelled. If this continues, they will fall apart. Next, relying on the strength of him and Guo Si alone,
He could not resist the attack of any princes from Guandong or the Central Plains. So he said to Guo Si: "I will join forces with you to recapture the Han Dynasty and divide the world equally!" Si was overjoyed.
So Li Jue and Guo Si reunited, and after regrouping their troops near Zhongnan Mountain, they looted all the way to meet military needs. The land they passed was looted. When they arrived at Hongnong, Yang Feng and Dong Cheng refused to
After giving in, the two sides fought fiercely in Hongnong, but the fields were filled with killings and rivers of blood flowed. After all, Yang Feng and Dong Cheng's troops were inferior to Li Jue and Guo Si. They could still mobilize reinforcements from all over Chang'an, but Yang Feng,
Dong Cheng, if a soldier dies, he will lose the ability to protect himself. Hongnong saw that Qiang Qiang was about to lose his protection. So Dong Cheng and Yang Feng protected the emperor and ran eastward overnight.
When the emperor fled from Chang'an, he also brought some royal belongings. Zhang Ji was stationed before Hongnong, and he still had some money and food. Emperor Xian also requisitioned some needed things nearby, and Yang Feng and others even solved the problem in Hongnong.
However, it was urgent to escape at this time. Yang Feng and others abandoned all the imperial belongings and ran away without even worrying about food and grass. On the way to escape, Yang and Dong issued urgent orders to recruit troops nearby.
Rescue him. Han Siam, Li Le, Hu Cai and other three bandits who were gathering in the mountains and forests were operating nearby. They heard that rescuing the emperor could grant him a pardon and an official position, so they led the crowd to rescue him.
Dong Cheng and others also knew the danger of using these thieves, but at this time they had no choice but to use thieves. The three thieves swore to protect the emperor. The three thieves leaders brought more than a thousand soldiers and horses. Although it was not many, it was still a new force.
After being arranged by Dong Cheng to cut off the enemy, the leaders of the three thieves were eager to do their best, and immediately led their troops to confront Li Jue and Guo Si. Hu Cai was killed after just one turn. Only then did the thieves realize the ferociousness of the enemy, and they all threw their weapons away.
He fled with his armor removed. The pursuers were approaching. The emperor hurriedly abandoned his car and rushed to the Yellow River. At this time, the Yellow River was not a ferry, so it was extremely difficult to find boats. Li Le and his troops also found a few small boats.
When Emperor Xian, the Queen and some important officials disembarked from the boat, there were people fighting for the boat on the shore. Li Le cut them all in the water, crying loudly. His sword struck those fingers that were holding on to the cable rope or the side of the boat. Amidst the chaos of beeps, a sound was heard.
The severed fingers jumped off the boat or into the cold lake. Emperor Xian covered his face in fear, and Queen Fu simply fainted...
After crossing the Yellow River, Emperor Xian and his party had only about twenty people left. At this time, the military officials had no time to sigh and complain, and they did not even have time to wait for the people on the other side of the river. The danger was not relieved. Li and Guo Si might not be able to find them for a while.
They couldn't cross the river by boat, but there was no guarantee that they would be found tomorrow. As soon as their horses crossed the river, Emperor Xian and his accompanying ministers would inevitably be kicked back. So they immediately ran away and started walking towards Dayang City.
, Zhong Yao, who went to move reinforcements, heard that there was a force of Cao Zhi, the prefect of Danyang, stationed there.
At this time, these people could not control why Cao Zhi was in Hedong County, whether he would meet the Emperor Qin Wang, or whether he would kidnap the Emperor. They were in urgent need of a place to settle down.
At dusk, the group dragged their exhausted bodies and finally found a village called Dayangjin, which was still twenty or thirty miles away from Dayang County.
Emperor Xian and his ministers could no longer walk, and generals such as Xiang Yangfeng and Dong Cheng were out of breath. Li Le and others might be able to walk a few miles through the wild grass, but neither the emperor nor his ministers said they could leave.
They had no choice but to live in a farmhouse's hut by the roadside and rest on the spot.
That night, the only old man in the farm family presented an extremely coarse meal of corn to the emperor and the empress. Emperor Xian and the empress were almost starving at this time. They were hungry and swallowed hard. As for the accompanying officials,
But most of them were hungry.
Early the next morning, Liu Xie was awakened by the sound of dogs. He rubbed his sleepy eyes and saw a group of people gathered outside the fence. They were all civil servants and generals who accompanied him. They stood in the cold and cold weather early in the morning.
Fengli was talking excitedly about something. Liu Xiegang was about to ask the guard under the window, what are these people doing here without rest so early in the morning?
Unexpectedly, when the guard saw Liu Xie, he waved to the outside and shouted: "Okay, the emperor is up. If you have anything to say, come in quickly!"
As soon as he finished speaking, there was a "crash" sound as the fence was kicked down, and the civil servants and military generals rushed into the yard.
It turns out that they asked the emperor to summon him for no other reason than to get promoted. Especially Li Le and this group of reckless people. They thought they were all ministers who had made meritorious deeds in protecting the emperor. How could the emperor reward him regardless of his merits? This is where they came.
.
When Liu Xie heard this, he realized that Li Le's request was very reasonable, but Liu Xie couldn't come up with an idea on how to reward him. Unexpectedly, Li Le and others had already had an idea, so there was no need for the emperor to use his brain. They immediately submitted their proposal to Liu Xie
The last piece of paper clearly listed who should be awarded which official position, and the emperor only had to read it. So Liu Xie, Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty, issued an edict in the yard of the farmhouse: Conferring Li Le the title of General of the Eastern Conquest, and conferring the title
Han Xian was the general who conquered the north, and there was a list of more than 200 people behind him, all of whom were subordinates of Han and Li, and were respectively awarded the titles of captain, censor, etc.
After Liu Xie read the list of awards, he roughly understood why there were only the names of Li Le, Han Xian and other subordinates, but Yang Feng, Dong Cheng and others were missing. In terms of merit, they were better than Li Le and others.
, although Liu Xie had already awarded them a reward in Hongnong, according to common sense, they should also receive a reward at this time.
Emperor Xian Liu Xie had already learned how to read words and emotions through his life and death experience over the past few years. As soon as he saw more than 200 thieves suddenly appearing behind Li Le and others, he understood that Li Le and Han Xian had gathered together that night
There are many remaining thieves who escaped from the other side of the Yellow River. These people are definitely not as powerful as Yang Feng and Dong Cheng, but in terms of fleeing, the orthodox soldiers are not as powerful as them. Now the situation is obvious.
There are more than 200 soldiers and horses, but Yang Feng and Dong Cheng have not yet gathered the remnants of the defeated soldiers who fled across the river. There are now less than a hundred people, so they are sitting aside and unable to make a sound. They can only watch Li Le and others clearly understand the code.
He asked Emperor Xian for the official position at a high price.
The generals could not straighten their backs, and the frightened civil servants did not dare to say anything. A group of orthodox civil servants and generals of the Han Dynasty could only look at this group of ruffians, and the bandits composed of bandits were asking for prices.
After being granted an official position, it is natural to issue an official seal. However, now that the emperors are all in this situation, they don't even know how to raise a meal. How can they have the conditions to engrave an official seal?
So Liu Xie said to the newly ennobled Li Le and others: "Everyone loves your official seal, we have to wait a while!"
Liu Xie had just finished speaking, but he never thought that although Li Le and others had a rough background, they also knew that the official seal was the most powerful proof of official position. Li Le stood up, stiffened his neck, and said to Liu Xie cautiously: ";
Everything else can wait, but this must not wait!quot;
Liu Xie spread his hands and smiled bitterly at Li Le and said: "It's not that I don't want to give you love, it's that I don't have good gold, silver, or stone for carving!"
Li Le grinned and said disapprovingly: "Isn't it just carving a few seals? Why do you need gold and silver? I can do it immediately!" After saying that, Li Le borrowed the iron cone of the silk shoe from the farmer and picked it up on the spot.
I took a pile of stones and "swish!" After a while, the official seal was carved.
Liu Xie looked on, dumbfounded.
When the emperor and the "officials" were holding official appointments, the soldiers and nearby villagers leaned on the fence to watch the excitement.
At this time, two quarrelsome dogs broke in at an inappropriate time, barking and scurrying around, making the onlookers burst into laughter.
After the ceremony, Li Le and others were finally satisfied. This idiot was holding the piece of rotten stone and was having fun at the side. Yang Feng took this opportunity to say to Emperor Xian: "You can't stay here for a long time. Your Majesty, please get on board. Let's go to Dayang first."
City!quot;
"Very good, quickly enter Dayang City and seek the protection of Prefect Cao!"
However, the next second Emperor Xian Liu Xie took a look at his car and was dumbfounded!
"Ahem! Love...my dear, what kind of car is this?"
"Ox...ox cart!" Yang Feng pinched his nose and said, and explained: "Your Majesty, the village here is poor and there is no mule or horse in the village, so we can only pull it with this cart."
The bullock cart filled with firewood and dung is used as your majesty’s carriage! I have been washed and cleaned by others. Please wait for the carriage quickly! quot;
Liu Xie smiled sadly and said: "Excellent, excellent, I love you so much!" After saying this, he and the queen boarded the car.
When the emperor got on the bullock cart, Yang Feng shouted at the top of his lungs: "Your Majesty, get up and drive!" Then he just listened to the "ba!" flick of the bullwhip, and the other end was honored to become the emperor.
The old scalper in the emperor's car calmly tightened the rope, and then the axle of the cart started with a creaking groan...
Half of the day was spent in a hurry with the issuance of decrees and rewards. Li Le, who was a little satisfied, then took his men with about two hundred civil and military officials and set off with Emperor Xian. The proud man
Li Le and Han Xian were happy for a long time. They finally became the imperial officials. Suddenly, Li Lejing's subordinates reminded that if the emperor enters Dayang City and encounters the Danyang Prefect's men, how can we still monopolize power and control the government?
This group of veterans must be squeezed out.
When Li Le heard this, he thought it made sense, so Li Le wanted to force the emperor to go elsewhere and not allow him to go further to Dayang City.
Dong Cheng and Yang Feng wanted to escort the emperor back to Luoyang. They heard that there were orthodox Han troops stationed in Anyi, so they wanted to go there so that they could use Cao Zhi's help to get rid of the bandits Li Le and Han Xian. Yang Feng and Dong Cheng
Since they did not follow Li Le and Han Xian on this matter, Li Le and Han Xian began to beat up Yang Feng and other officials, and deliberately served turbid wine mixed with sand and coarse food to the emperor and Yang Feng during lunch that day.
Waiting for the ministers made it difficult for the emperor and ministers to swallow.
For this reason, Dong Cheng and Li Le had a dispute and started scolding each other. Li Le threatened to lead his troops to seek refuge with Li Jue and Guo Si, so he kidnapped the emperor so that he could present gifts.
When Liu Xie heard this, he was frightened. After a peaceful day, one of the accompanying generals was about to mutiny again. Seeing that the two sides were about to fight, Dong Cheng and others were obviously outnumbered and should not be their opponents. Dong Cheng held up his long sword and urgently ordered Yang Feng to kill him first.
Li Le, he protected Emperor Xian and left first.
Yang Feng ordered his subordinate Xu Huang to fight Li Le, while he faced Han Xian. The two sides had just exchanged a few moves when they suddenly heard the sound of horse hooves behind them. Xu Huang took the time to look back and saw a group of black armored cavalry.
Suddenly appeared on the official road and rushed straight to kill him.
They didn't recognize this group of people either in terms of their clothes or appearance. When Yang Feng and Xu Huang were not sure whether they were friends or foes, they saw the approaching general. They exchanged a few words with Dong Cheng and then led their troops.
Come straight over.
When this group of unidentified cavalry approached the place where Yang Feng, Xu Huang, Li Le and others were fighting, they saw clearly that the other party was all cavalry, and there were about 500 of them. The leader, a general in black armor, was
Wielding a curved sword, he rushed straight into the battle circle between Li Le and Xu Huang.
"Xu Chu is coming to Danyang. That friendly soldier gets out of the way and lets me kill this thief!"
When Xu Huang heard the word Danyang, he immediately understood that this was a general under Cao Zhi's tent. Yang Feng and others, who had always been at a disadvantage, immediately became energetic when they heard that their own people had arrived, and shouted fiercely to launch a counterattack against the enemy on the spot.
This enemy force with nearly half more troops was undoubtedly a heavy blow to Li Le and Han Xian's troops. Before the cavalry behind Xu Chu entered the battle circle, many bandits turned around with their soles greased.
slip.
"Don't run away. Who is coming? I am Li, the general who conquered the east..."
Li Le raised his rotten stone engraved with the four characters Zhengdong General. Before he could express his newly acquired noble status, a cold light passed through the network intertwined with Xu Huang's battle ax and flashed from his neck.
.
"Bang!" As Li Le's head and body separated, a stream of blood spurted out. The first ray of blood shot up about a meter like a spurt, spraying everywhere. Xu Huang couldn't jump away in time, and
I was showered all over my face.
"Xu Chu, what the hell are you doing? You just came here without even saying hello. Am I not able to deal with this thief on my own?"
Xu Huang shouted loudly, and at this time he also saw Xu Chu's evil face clearly.
Xu Chu looked at the friendly general he had saved at the same time. He saw that it was the friendly general he had saved. He was quite honest, as tall as him, quite majestic in appearance, dignified in appearance, and looked quite heavy in his hand.
with a battle ax on his face, and his face was covered with drops of blood spurting from Li Le's neck. He sounded angry, but Xu Chu couldn't see clearly his facial expression at this time.
