Great Han Empire

Chapter 704
"Ah..." Cao Cao raised his head to the sky and screamed, his eyes were about to burst, and the whistle was full of extreme unwillingness and anger, "Beat the drum...to fight...kill Lu Bu for me, kill Lu Bu."

"My lord, retreat quickly, retreat quickly..." Cheng Yu panicked, grabbed Cao Cao's waving arm, and shouted excitedly, "The northern border army has crossed the river, and Li Hong has already gone south. We must preserve our strength, preserve our strength Ah. If we lose everything in this battle, how will we fight the next one? Do you still want Yanzhou?"

"No more, I don't want anymore..." Cao Cao opened his eyes angrily, gritted his teeth, clenched his hands into fists, and danced violently in the air, "If I don't kill Lu Bu, I will never withdraw from the battlefield, never..."

=

The horn blew, and the earth trembled violently under the trampling of iron hooves.

The soldiers had been fighting fiercely for a whole day, and it was at the end of their strength at this time, all of them were bloody and exhausted.They looked at the cavalry rushing out of the blood-colored sunset, and at the black panther battle flag waving in the wind, everyone was frightened and hesitated.

"Withdraw from the battlefield." Yuan Wei shouted decisively without hesitation, "Master Cao, the forward iron cavalry of the Northern Xinjiang Army has been killed, and its main force must be not far away. Once the army appears to be in a melee, it may be killed by the Northern Xinjiang Army." The army is besieged and raped. Please, Mr. Cao, withdraw the army quickly."

The golden gong sounded, and the Yuzhou army behind the left wing of the battlefield took the lead in retreating.

=

"Yuan Wei, this old bastard, how dare he run away?" Cao Cao was so angry that he pointed at the sound of the golden gong and cursed, "Even if the Northern Frontier Army crossed the river, this is just a vanguard cavalry going deep alone. What's so scary?"

As soon as the Yuzhou army withdrew, Cao Jun was the first to bear the brunt, facing the northern Xinjiang cavalry galloping with the momentum of the river bursting embankment, and the situation suddenly became tense.

"My lord, withdraw, withdraw..." Xun Yu rushed forward on horseback and shouted loudly, "If you don't withdraw, the army will be defeated."

Before the words fell, I heard a sudden earth-shattering explosion from the left wing of the battlefield, and then saw the battle flag collapsed, and countless Cao soldiers shouted frantically, turned around and fled, crying their fathers and mothers, and wolves running. Suddenly, the battlefield fell into chaos.

Xun Yu and Cheng Yu were dumbfounded and looked shocked.

"Qingzhou Yellow Turbans, it's those cowardly Qingzhou Yellow Turbans..." Cao Cao was furious, wishing he could rush over with his saber and slash, "After fighting for so many years, I still can't change my habit of running away. If you fight hard, you will run away and kill me...A bandit is a bandit, and will be a bandit until death, and it is generally a rebellion that cuts to pieces."

"My lord..." Ren Jun shouted in panic, "My lord, order to withdraw."

"Withdraw, withdraw..." Cao Cao held up his whip, turned his head and yelled wildly, "Tiger Leopard Battalion, follow me, block the Fengyun cavalry, block the Fengyun cavalry..."

The drums beat and the situation changed. Three thousand cavalry followed Cao Cao and roared towards the middle of the battlefield.

=

The horse's four hooves soared into the air, its belly almost rubbed against the ground, its speed had reached its limit, and the huge panting sound made it feel as if it was about to explode at any moment.

The gust of wind cut his face like a knife, causing faint pain, and the muscles trembled violently, as if they were about to be torn off alive.

Except for the tyrannical wind, there was no sound to be heard.

Zhao Yun suddenly sat up straight, raised his spear forward, and roared loudly: "Kill... kill in..."

The horn soared into the sky, piercing the clouds and cracking the rocks.

Five thousand iron cavalry officers raised their heads and roared wildly. The roars were like thunderclaps, passing across the bloody battlefield in an instant, and resounding across the field.

"Boom..." With a loud noise, Zhao Yun and his cavalry army crashed into the embankment like an unstoppable giant wave, and the embankment collapsed instantly.

Cao Jun scattered and fled.

=

Cao Jun soldiers were flying everywhere in the sky, and the dull crashing sound made people's liver and gallbladder torn, and the broken limbs and arms were accompanied by the rain of arrows in the sky, howling wantonly in the setting sun.

The point of the spear, the direction of the iron cavalry, no one can beat them vertically and horizontally.

Cao Cao, Xia Houyuan, Xia Houdun, Cao Ren, Cao Hong, Cao Chun, Shi Huan, Li Dian, Yu Jin, and Dian Wei all led their elites and fought hard to buy enough time for the army to retreat.

"Kill...kill...kill..." Zhao Yun roared again and again, the long spear was like lightning piercing through the air, raging and bloody, devouring the life of the enemy at will.

A flag bearer couldn't dodge in time, and was shot dead by Zhao Yun, and the banner with the word "Cao" crashed down.

Cao Cao, who was fighting not far away, raised his knife and shouted, "Raise the big flag again, raise the big flag again..."

"Kill him..." Zhao Yun saw Cao Cao, his murderous aura suddenly rose, "Kill that butcher, kill him..."

Zhao Yun kicked the horse's belly, the horse suffered from pain, and with a long hiss, it rose into the air.The spear flew, and several enemies were caught off guard, and he picked and killed them one by one.

"Kill..." Zhao Yun roared and stabbed with a spear.Cao Cao suddenly recognized Zhao Yun, and immediately lost his mind, "Come and save me..."

The saber seemed to be chopped on the iron pillar, and there was a crisp sound of "Dang...".Cao Cao's mouth was hot, and the saber flew out of his hand.

The long gun came screaming.

In desperation, one of Cao Cao's personal guards jumped up from his horse, replaced his weapon with flesh and blood, and slammed into Zhao Yun's spear.

The spear was hit by this, the tip of the spear was tilted, and it "pushed" into the neck of the horse.The war horse neighed miserably, jumped up wildly, and galloped away as if dying.

Zhao Yun was so angry that his sword eyebrows stood on end, he let out an angry roar, and swept his spear across, and immediately shot the soldier into the air.

"Chasing... chasing..."

The northern Xinjiang iron cavalry followed closely behind Zhao Yun, galloping on horseback, and the sound of killing shook the sky.

Xiahoudun, Shi Huan, and Cao Chun were shocked and blocked them with their own guards, "block him, block him..."

=

The night swallowed the last ray of light, and the world fell into darkness.

The battlefield gradually quieted down.

Lu Bu, who survived the catastrophe, hugged Zhao Yun tightly, choking with excitement and speechless.

"Brother Fengxian, come back with me."

Lu Bu was stunned for a moment, then turned to look at Zhang Liao who was also puzzled, "Zilong, go back? Where are you going? Didn't you come already?"

"I was ordered to help you break out of the siege." Zhao Yun said with a smile, "I will cross the river to go back soon."

"Why?" Zhang Liao asked loudly, pointing at the battlefield full of dead bodies, "We still have half of Yanzhou, and we can still defeat Cao Cao and Yuan Wei. Why did we abandon Yanzhou?"

"You don't have to give up." Zhao Yun was silent for a while, looked at Lu Bu, then at Zhang Liao, Li Feng and Xue Lan, and then said slowly, "The general has arrived in Hedong, and he is going to lead an army of [-] westwards to King Qin, and the troops from Hebei Money and food are limited and can only support one battlefield, so..."

"So the general doesn't want to help us anymore, he doesn't want to give us food, grass and armaments, does he?" Li Feng asked disappointedly, "We fought hard in Yanzhou for a year, killed nearly ten thousand brothers, and ended up with nothing. It's not fair, it's so unfair."

"The general doesn't want the Central Plains anymore?" Zhang Liao stomped his feet vigorously and shook his head in frustration. "We have occupied Yanzhou, which can help the general quickly capture the Central Plains and calm the world. Why did the general do this?"

Zhao Yun looked at Zhang Liao, hesitant to speak, and after thinking for a while, he couldn't help asking: "Master Zhang Yan repeatedly asked you to retreat to Puyang, why do you insist on not listening? Why did you go south to Xuzhou to join Liu Bei? If you hadn’t insisted on going south, how could you have been flanked by Cao Cao and Yuan Wei in Juye today, causing the entire army to be wiped out? Can you give me a satisfactory explanation?”

Zhang Liao felt ashamed in his heart, and was speechless.If Zhang Liao's face wasn't covered by the blood all over his face, Zhao Yun could have seen his flushed face.

Li Feng and Xue Lan avoided Zhao Yun's stern gaze.

"Brother Fengxian, how do you explain this matter?" Zhao Yun patted Lu Bu on the shoulder and said softly, "Now the general has arrived in Hedong, and Xu Rong, the general who conquered the west, is also in Hedong. The right general Zhang Yan is in charge of the military and political power in Hebei. , he made me rush to rescue you, he has already given you enough face. You have to think about it, are you going back to Hebei with me, or continue to stay in Yanzhou? If you continue to stay in Yanzhou, Master Zhang Yan will not It’s the second time to save you. Whether it’s an enemy or a friend in the future, you decide for yourself.”

Zhao Yun then took two steps back, cupped his hands and said, "My lords, I'm going back first. The situation in Guanzhong is getting more and more tense, and the general may have to recruit reinforcements from Hebei, so I can't delay here for too long. Everyone, please take care."

"Zilong, the general really wants to go west to King Qin?" Lu Bu hurriedly took two steps, grabbed Zhao Yun, and asked in a hoarse voice.

"Brother Fengxian..." Zhao Yun gave him a reproachful look, "Do you know why Master Xu Rong has a problem with you?"

"I..." Lu Bu shook his head guiltily, "Back then, I really... who knew that things would get out of hand later, I should have listened to Master Xu Rong..."

"Brother Fengxian... and Wenyuan..." Zhao Yun sighed, "Your fault is that you don't trust the general, Master Xu Rong, this is what makes Master Xu Rong most disappointed with you. Think about it carefully, Think it over and make a decision.”

"Don't think about it any more." Lu Bu smiled wryly. "The matter has come to this, what else can I think about. We have already decided to go to Hebei. Even if you don't come to rescue me, Zhang Miao, Chen Gong, Wei Xu and others will Take the remaining 3000 people to Hebei to seek refuge with the General. I will follow you back to Hebei."

Zhao Yun was overjoyed, "Okay, let's go together. You have been wandering outside for a long time, and it's time to return to northern Xinjiang."

In mid-April, Guanzhong, Baling.

"Let me send His Majesty to Hedong?" Li Jue jumped up and scolded angrily, "Is it up to me or him?" He pointed to his nose and shouted loudly, "Yes! Me, I have the final say, and it's not his turn to dictate to me."

"Decree, give him an order immediately." Li Jue pointed at Shangshu Jia Xu, Liang Shao and Feng Shuo and shouted, "Order the general to enter Guanqin King immediately, otherwise I will convict him of treason and usurpation. Forget about his official position, I will kill his nine clans."

Situ Chunyujia, Shangshu Jiaxu and other ministers looked at Li Jue indifferently, like watching a madman, and let Li Jue keep shouting in the big tent.

"Decree, give him an order immediately..." Li Jue looked at the ministers standing around, waved his hands and said, "I did not burn Chang'an City, nor did I order it to be burned. Don't you know? You all Don't you have eyes?"

"My lord, the general said you burned it." Huangfu Li said in a low voice.

"I didn't burn it." Li Jue vetoed it flatly. "It may be Han Sui and Ma Teng, it may be Pang De, or it may be that the houses in the city caught fire. In short, I did not burn it. I will burn Chang'an If it burns, where should I go? Think about it, if I burn Chang’an, wouldn’t I be destroying my own way of life and seeking death?”

"My lord, the general said that if you don't send the emperor to Hedong, he will wash Guanzhong with blood. He will kill dead bodies everywhere and blood will flow into rivers in Guanzhong." Huangfu Li said anxiously, "My lord, you should be cautious." Think about it."

"I don't want to, and I won't agree to him. If I send the emperor to Hedong, I will die faster. Do you think I'm an idiot?" Li Jue punched the table, "I, Li Jue, fought 20 He has killed countless people for many years, so how can such a few words scare me? Not to mention a 20 army, even a [-] army, I am not afraid of him. I want to see if he dares to attack my Beiwu camp."

=

Huangfu Li stopped persuading, bowed and retreated, went to Beiwu to meet the emperor, and said the general's words again.Li Hong's memorial to the emperor had been confiscated by Li Jue, and the emperor could not see it, so Huangfu Li dictated it.

After hearing this, the Son of Heaven asked tremblingly, "Aiqing, tell me, can I go to Hedong to avoid disaster?"

"Your Majesty, it is of course best to be able to go, but..." Huangfu Li said bitterly, choking with tears, "Now Your Majesty wants to go, but he can't."

The emperor sat there dumbfounded, helpless, looking pitiful and helpless.

Huangfu Li was so sad that he almost cried.

"Aiqing, your father is seriously injured, and there is no good medicine here, do you think we should send your father to Hedong for treatment?" The emperor suddenly asked in a low voice, "Do you want me to personally beg Li Aiqing, the chariot general? "

Huangfu Li couldn't bear it any longer, and burst into tears, "Your Majesty, how can you beg him?"

=

Li Jue let out a long sigh, "Wen He, what should we do now?"

Jia Xu frowned and pondered for a long time, "My lord, Chang'an City has been destroyed, and our retreat has been completely cut off. It is absolutely impossible to rely on the threat of the Northern Xinjiang Army to solve the crisis in Guanzhong like last year."

The city of Chang'an was burned down, the capital was gone, and the imperial palace was gone. We can't take the emperor to wander around. Therefore, if we want to solve the crisis in Guanzhong and solve the problem of survival, we must first solve the problem of where the emperor will live.

Wang Fang, Zhang Ji, and Huang Fuhong originally came to persuade His Excellency and Guo Si, but because Chang'an City was destroyed, the emperor had no place to hide, and everyone's living situation immediately became extremely difficult.Under the current circumstances, even if the adults shake hands with Guo Bang and make peace, it will be difficult for everyone to live as freely as in the past, so for them now, the important thing is not to persuade you and Guo Bang to make peace, nor is it Protect the emperor, but how to survive.

After the battle between your lord and Guo Si Baling, the three of them immediately excused that the situation was deteriorating, the matter was complicated, and neither side would be easy to offend, so they would not come for the time being.In fact, it is false that they did not come, and it is true to wait for the situation to change.They want to see how the situation in Guanzhong evolves, and wait for the opportunity to find a way to survive.

There are three major forces surrounding the Guanzhong, the General, Yuan Shao and Han Suimateng, none of these three is the King Qinqin, and their goal is to occupy the Guanzhong.Among these three major forces, Han Sui and Ma Teng may not be considered, because they are the weakest, and Xiliang is very barren, with no future, and if they seek refuge, they will die.Yuan Shao refused to honor the Son of Heaven and wanted to rebuild the emperor's lineage. Everyone in the world knew it, so they couldn't go to Yuan Shao.Yuan Shao has deposed the emperor, and we are finished.

The general has not yet sent troops to serve the king, and his ambition is clearly revealed.He wished that the emperor would die, so that he could take revenge and wash Guanzhong with blood.If we took the Son of Heaven to seek refuge with him, the Son of Heaven would probably end up in confinement. As for us, our heads would have fallen to the ground long ago.Will the general be willing to keep us people?
Li Jue was very remorseful and sighed again and again.

=

"Wenhe, there is nothing you can do?"

"Yes." Jia Xu said with a twist.

"What way?" Li Jue grabbed Jia Xu's arm as if grabbing a life-saving straw, and asked in surprise, "We still have a chance?"

"Yes." Jia Xu said calmly, "Although Yuan Shao is not a sincerely diligent king, Liu Biao is a sincerely diligent king. Liu Biao is a member of the royal family. He sent [-] troops to the north to serve the king. Of course it was not to help Yuan Shao occupy Guanzhong."

"Yes." Li Jue's eyes suddenly lit up, "Yes, yes, Wenhe, write a letter to Yuan Shao immediately, we will take the emperor to Jingzhou, to Nanyang, haha, good way, good way... then write to Liu Biao , ask him to prepare to meet the emperor in Nanyang. Write to Kuai Yue, asking him to lead the army to Baling to welcome the emperor to go south." Li Jue excitedly patted the table and smiled happily, "The general will Bloodbath Guanzhong, haha, let him fight Yuan Shao, I'm leaving."

Jia Xu looked at Li Jue, and reminded in a low voice, "My lord, Nanyang is now controlled by Yuan Shao, not Liu Biao."

"Let's help Liu Biao drive Yuan Shao away." Li Jue waved his hand and said, "When the emperor arrives in Nanyang, is he still afraid that Yuan Shao will not let Nanyang out? Urgently write to Wang Fang, Zhang Ji, and Huangfuhong, and ask them to come to Baling quickly and discuss escorting them. The emperor went south to Jingzhou."

"My lord, you seem to take this matter too simply." Jia Xu said word by word, slowly, "Pang De's [-] cavalry are in Gaoling, and Han Suima Teng Guo Si's army is in Fengcheng. As long as the Tianziying goes south, how do you think they will respond?"

"What they want is Guanzhong, not the emperor." Li Jue smiled indifferently.

"But have you ever thought about who burned Chang'an?"

Li Jue suddenly woke up, "You mean Yuan Shao? Yuan Shao burned Chang'an?"

"Your Excellency, don't you believe it? Since Yuan Shao has secret contacts with many ministers in the court, how can there be no hidden troops of him in Chang'an City?" Jia Xu sneered, "If Yuan Shao burned Chang'an City, then Yuan Shao What do you want to do, sir, can’t you guess? Since Yuan Shao dared to burn Chang’an, he certainly wouldn’t let the emperor go south to Jingzhou. He wants to put the emperor to death, you can’t see such a simple thing?”

"Yuan Shao is rebellious." Li Jue roared angrily, "I will kill him."

"Yuan Shao burned Chang'an, drove us to a dead end, and drove Wang Fang, Zhang Ji, Huangfuhong and others to a point where we were at a loss." Jia Xu said, "Since he can divide us, why can't we intensify the relationship between him and Liu Biao?" Why can't Han Sui, Ma Teng, Guo Si and Pang De be forced to fight them? Why can't they take advantage of the opportunity to escort the emperor to the south and join forces with Wang Fang, Zhang Ji and Huangfu Hong again to fight against the various forces attacking Guanzhong? power?"

Li Jue calmed down immediately, "Wenhe, do you still mean to stay in Guanzhong? But in this way, the emperor will be very dangerous. If the situation gets out of control, the emperor may be..."

"If the situation in Guanzhong can't get out of control, if the life of the emperor is not at stake, how can the general be willing to cross the river? As long as the general crosses the river, the emperor and Guanzhong are ours."

"But..." Li Jue felt a wave of fear in his heart.The development of the future situation is complicated and confusing. If it is completely out of control... He dare not think about it, and asked with a forced smile, "Wenhe, after all the armies withdraw from Guanzhong, where will the emperor settle down?"

"Of course it is Chang'an." Jia Xu laughed. "Although Chang'an was burned, it can be repaired slowly. As long as the emperor is in our hands, the general and Liu Biao will continuously transport all our money, food and materials into the city. Guanzhong."

=

Under the entreaty of the emperor and many ministers, Li Jue agreed to let Huangfu Li escort Huangfu Song to Hedong for treatment.

Before leaving, Huangfusong bid farewell to the emperor and vowed to persuade the general to cross the river immediately to serve the king and stabilize Guanzhong.

The emperor issued an edict to Li Hong, the general, and begged him to send troops again.

=

At the end of April, Yuan Shao and Kuai Yue, who stationed troops in Du Ling, received the emperor's decree.

The Son of Heaven implored Yuan Shao and Kuai Yue to lead his army to Baling immediately, and he wanted to go south and leave Wuguan to avoid disaster in Nanyang.

After Yuan Shao and Kuai Yue received the order, they were very happy, and hurriedly summoned their subordinates and generals to discuss escorting the emperor to Nanyang.

"I have already sued Mr. Liu with a fast ride of [-] miles." Kuai Yue said excitedly, "Your Majesty's decision is too timely. If it is later, until the general leads the army across the river, it will be too late."

"Brother Jing Sheng will cheer for joy after receiving His Majesty's imperial decree." Yuan Shao said with a smile. No matter what, Li Jue would never have thought of taking the emperor south to Jingzhou."

"When we arrive in Nanyang, immediately kill the traitor Li Jue." Jingzhou General Wen Pin said angrily, "He dared to set fire to Chang'an, heaven and earth will not tolerate it."

"How can it be so simple." Yuan Shao said, "Since he dared to ask His Majesty to go to Nanyang to avoid disaster, he must have a perfect plan." Then he looked at Kuai Yue and asked, "Brother Yidu, look at the matter of welcoming you." ..."

"Han Sui and Ma Teng are in Huaili, Guo Si is in Fengcheng, Pang De is in Chiyang, Wang Fang, and Huangfu Hong are in Gaoling. Whether it is the movement of Tianziying or our northward journey to Baling, we will all be attacked by them. Li Jue's plan is too naive." Kuai Yue laughed, "My lord, shall we first send someone to Baling to meet the emperor and this self-righteous chariot general?"

Yuan Shao nodded again and again, pointed at Tian Feng and said: "Then please Mr. Tian have a hard time."

Tian Feng stood up with a heavy heart, and bowed to accept the order.

=

Sending away Kuaiyue, Wenpin and other Jingzhou officials, Yuan Shao immediately ordered Chen Lin to urgently write to Jushou in Luoyang to stop the war in Kansai and rapidly increase troops in Nanyang to prevent accidents in Nanyang.

"Your Excellency, are you worried that Liu Biao will take the opportunity to take back Nanyang?" Guo Tu asked.

"How can I not know Liu Biao's thoughts?" Yuan Shao laughed, "Your Majesty said that he wants to avoid disaster in Nanyang, Jingzhou. After Liu Biao received the imperial decree from the emperor, he would definitely take the opportunity to lead troops to Nanyang and force me to give up Nanyang to Nanyang. Him. The emperor said, Jingzhou Nanyang, he is Jingzhou Mu, and Nanyang will of course belong to him. Li Jue's little trick really gave Liu Biao a chance."

"Since my lord is not willing to return Nanyang to Jingzhou, and is unwilling to turn against Liu Biao because of this matter, then it is better..." Guo Tu looked at Yuan Shao cautiously, and said in a low voice, "My lord, it is better to take the emperor to Luoyang. Once the emperor Returning to Kyoto, the world..."

Yuan Shao's smile faltered, and he snorted unhappily, "Gongze, do you think Li Jue will bring the emperor to Luoyang? I don't think the emperor can even go to Nanyang."

Guo Tu was startled and kept silent.

Yuan Shao looked at his subordinates in the big tent, pointed to the east, and said with a sneer: "The general will let me take the emperor back to Luoyang? You should be sober and prepare for the battle in Guanzhong. Only by defeating the northern army and occupying Guanzhong can we Rescue the Son of Heaven, otherwise King Qin will surely fail."

=

Kuai Yue returned to his big tent, called a confidant guard, and asked him to rush back to Xiangyang overnight with his secret letter.

Li Jue first fought Han Suimateng and Guo Si in Baling, then set fire to Chang'an to kill himself, and then threatened the emperor to go south to Jingzhou, which is very abnormal.I don't think Li Jue burned Chang'an, it is very likely that Yuan Shao secretly sent someone to burn it.The purpose of Yuan Shao sending troops to Guanzhong was not King Qin, but to occupy Guanzhong. He deceived us.

The current situation in Guanzhong is extremely variable and unpredictable, and it is very difficult for Qin Wang.The general stationed troops in Hedong, and there was no movement for a long time. Obviously, he was waiting for the best time to send troops. There must be another big battle in Guanzhong.Therefore, I beg you to be cautious, and do not go to Nanyang for the time being, so as not to make a small mistake and conflict with Yuan Shao, resulting in the complete defeat of King Qin.

In the evening, Kuai Yue hired Wen to the tent again.

"Zhongye, Your Majesty wants to go south to Jingzhou to avoid disaster. Do you think we should go north to meet him, or stay here and wait for Li Jue to escort the Tianziying to join us?"

"If we go north to meet him, we will take a great risk and may be attacked by several armies, so I think it's better to stay here." Wen Pin looked at Kuai Yue strangely, "Your Excellency, you want to go north to meet him?"

Kuai Yue shook his head and smiled, and asked again: "If the Tianzi camp reaches Duling smoothly, can we safely send the emperor to Nanyang?"

Wenpin sighed softly, "My lord doesn't believe Mr. Yuan?"

"Do you believe?"

Wenpin sat blankly for a while, then shook his head.

"We are here to save the emperor, not to help him occupy Guanzhong, so no matter what the situation is, we must ensure the safety of the army." Kuai Yue whispered, "Even if we cannot rescue the emperor, we must at least We must ensure that these 3 horses are brought back intact."

=

At the end of April, Wang Fang, Zhang Ji, and Huang Fuhong successively received letters from Li Jue, inviting them to meet in Baling.The three hesitated.

The emperor made a decree to appoint the nobleman Fu as the queen, accept the Dong family as the nobleman, worship the queen's father, Fu Wan, as the Zhijinwu, and worship Dong Guiren's father, the school lieutenant Dong Cheng, as the general of Pinglu. Invite the three generals to congratulate Beiwu.

The emperor had an order, and the three of them would not go if they were not happy. Just as they were about to leave, General Ning Ji Duan Yan suddenly sent a secret letter.Li Jue has secretly reached an agreement with Yuan Shao and Kuai Yue to escort the emperor to Nanyang to avoid disaster.I have a deep friendship with the three generals, and I dare not tell the truth.The three generals should immediately shake hands with Li Jue to make peace and jointly escort the emperor south to avoid being killed by the general in the future.

Zhang Ji was shocked, and hurriedly wrote to Li Jue to question him.Yuan Shao has always said that the current emperor was not born by the first emperor, and he wants to depose the current emperor, don't you know?Do you want to send the emperor to the tiger's mouth?You are worried that we will not agree, and you even let the emperor issue an imperial decree to lie to us. Do you want to kill us all?
Wang Fang and Huangfu Hong both stationed troops in Gaoling. After careful discussion, they concluded that Li Jue was going to kill him, so they led the army across the Weishui River and joined Guo Si in Fengcheng.When Guo Si heard that Li Jue was going south to Jingzhou with the emperor, he hurriedly wrote to Han Sui, Ma Teng and Pang De, asking them to join him in sending troops to stop them.

Han Sui, Ma Teng, and Pang De were shocked, and immediately took their iron cavalry and set up troops near Chang'an City, ready to go south to attack Yuan Shao at any time.

Yuan Shao and Kuai Yue received the report from the scouts and repeatedly urged Li Jue to go south as soon as possible, fearing that it would be too late.

Li Jue was shocked and angry when he received the letters from the three of them.He had sincerely invited the three of them to Baling to discuss joint defense against the enemy, but things got worse and worse, and friends turned into enemies in an instant.

"What should we do? What should we do now? Do we still have to go to Du Ling to meet Yuan Shao?"

"Of course." Jia Xu remained calm, "If you don't lure the enemy with your body, how can you make a pack of wolves fight? Tell the general, we are going south to Jingzhou."

"Urgently report to the general?" Li Jue clapped his hands in praise instead of surprise, "Wen He, it really is a good plan."

"Decree to Yuan Shao and Kuai Yue to go north immediately to escort them."

=

Under April, Hedong, Pubanjin.

Pang De urgently reported that Li Jue wanted to take refuge with Yuan Shao and take the emperor to Nanyang, and asked the general to send troops immediately.

The imperial decree of the emperor was delivered to Hedong.Chang'an was destroyed and Guanzhong was in danger. The emperor and the court decided to move the capital to Luoyang.

Qu Yi, Yang Feng, Sun Qin, and Wang Dang all called for the battle.

"How dare you use this kind of low-level plan to shame people." Li Hong sneered, pointing to the map on the table and said to the generals, "You take a closer look at how many troops are there within a hundred miles of Chang'an? Although Li Jue is crazy enough Yes, but Yuan Shao is a fool? Han Sui is blind? Li Jue is dead this time."

"Why didn't the general send troops? Li Jue is doomed, but the emperor is also in danger." Qu Yi said anxiously.

"If I send troops now, the emperor will definitely not be able to keep it." Li Hong said firmly with a stern expression, "Wait a little longer, the chance has not come yet."

"Not yet?" Qu Yi held his head and exclaimed loudly, "General, when are you going to wait?"

=

At the end of April, General Longxiang Zhao Yun and General Fenwei Lu Bu led cavalry to Pubanjin Camp.
