September 2nd, early morning.

Li Sujun, who had been traveling west for a day after leaving Luoyang, had already walked a full hundred miles and reached the border between Yin and Hongnong County, Henan.

Because most of the troops are cavalry, and infantry such as the trap camp can also be divided into horses or chariots, the troops march more quickly.

In addition, he came by the emperor's order, and all parties in the capital had their own ulterior motives and hoped that Li Su would leave early and the supporting facilities were also very good. As long as Li Su took out an imperial decree to local officials, all localities would provide food and grass, which saved Li Sujun's large and small chariots from transporting grain, and only took food with him for two or three days.

The slowest one in the team was the three hundred ox carts - an army of 4,500 people, who brought a total of three hundred ox carts, and the proportion of the baggage was also very high.

One hundred of them were loaded with food, daily necessities, one hundred iron armor, and one hundred books.

In the non-combat state, it is very tiring to march in iron armor, so I loaded the car, and each car was twenty pairs of iron armor, which was only five or six hundred kilograms.

As for the book, it was also very heavy. After Li Su and Cai Yan were neatly booked and folded, they still had 20,000 large volumes, more than 100,000 thin sheets, and a large wooden box that was four feet long and two or three feet wide and deep. They could only hold 200 large volumes, and if folded sheets, they could hold about 1,000 volumes.

If the book had not been miniaturized without the original operation, today the book would have to be loaded with 300 cars, and all the luggage would be increased to at least 500 cars.

Last night, the army stationed on the gentle slope of the easternmost part of Wushan Mountain overnight. Looking north and looking into the distance, you can see Hangu.

Princess Liu Miao sat in a cozy carriage with one or two wheels wrapped in pigskin, and the carriage was filled with soft lining.

She slept in the car last night. She had just left her mother and the emperor's brother for a day and a night, and came to such a place. There were only some palace maids who served daily, which made her confused and frightened about her future.

Fortunately, there were no female relatives in the convoy, so when he felt lonely and helpless, Liu Miao invited other girls to talk to him. Not only those palace maids and maids, but the ones who could talk to her in the entire convoy were Cai's daughter and Zhen's five sisters.

After a few chats, Liu Miao admired Cai Yan's intelligence and vision. Cai Yan was four years older than her, but she was very smarter in all aspects.

Among the five sisters of the Zhen family, the third and fourth brothers are the same age as Liu Miao, which allows her to regain the superiority in front of her peers and is the most fun along the way.

As for the fifth brother Zhen Mi, although she is only seven years old and four years younger than Liu Miao, she makes people feel indescribable. Maybe she is too young to deal with people. She is even more obedient to etiquette, and she speaks quietly and smiles without showing her teeth.

Liu Miao didn't read much, so she couldn't say that she felt this way. But if a time traveler came here and came into contact with Zhen Mi personally, she would instantly get an impression: this is a woman with Xue Baochai's personality! She is too good at being a human being, but it makes people unable to feel at ease to make friends with her.

Liu Miao was sleeping in the car and was awakened by a distant but vast noise in the north. She lifted the curtain with sleepy eyes and looked for a while. She saw the continuous soldiers walking out of the valley. She had never seen so many soldiers in her life, and it was at least several times larger than the troops led by Li Su.

Liu Miao pushed Cai Yan in a bad mood: "Sister, wake up, there are so many soldiers over there, is it..."

Cai Yan was studying at the lamp last night and was too late to sleep. She was confused for a moment. However, Zhen Mi, who was sleeping next to her, was very eye-catching. Hearing the voice of the princess, he woke up immediately. Hearing the words, he went out to take a closer look, and came back to report diligently: "Your Highness, I saw a 'Dong' written on the flag, and I don't recognize some words. It should be an official position."

Although the character "Dong" has many strokes and there was no "Hundred Family Surnames" in the Han Dynasty, the ancients were used to reading from their surnames since childhood. A seven-year-old girl could still recognize the character "Dong" as long as she studied hard.

At this time, Cai Yan, who was sleepy, was awake and supported her body and said, "That must be Dong Zhuo's main rear army. The reason why my senior brother ordered the camp to rest before it was dark last night was because he was afraid that he would run into Dong Zhuojun in Hangu and have an accident."

The three girls chatted, and the others around them woke up one after another. The palace maids in the car next to them hurried over to serve the washing, and by the way, Cai Yan and the young ladies of the Zhen family also enjoyed the reduced version of the palace treatment (the complete version is used without the conditions for marching outside the wild).

After all, Liu Miao is a princess. Even though she was a vassal, she still brought more than twenty palace maids. However, she knew that two of them were pretty palace maids who had been rewarded by her mother to Captain Zhao, which won the hearts of the people and allowed Captain Zhao to protect her with all her heart on the way.

After arriving in Chang'an, the two palace maids would not continue to go back to Wannian County with her, but would lose their palace residence and become the maid of the Zhao Ziwei to Hanzhong.

After wiping it clean, drinking some water and eating the skewers sent by the palace maids, Liu Miao almost burst into tears because of the heavy fireworks.

"Your Highness, why don't you drink porridge? You really don't have more decent food when camping in the wild." Zhen Mi reminded very sensible.

"It's okay, I just don't get used to it for a while. These are quite delicious. The smell is a bit heavier, but it's also covered with the meat smell." After taking a few more bites, Liu Miao gradually got used to the use of radical spices in Li Sujun.

Li Su is a luxury person who puts pepper on the barbecue. Even the emperor and the princess have never seen this usage. In the future, he will use cumin. In the Han Dynasty, cumin was actually introduced from Central Asia and West Asia like pepper. However, cumin has no market and has been ignored as a weed for a long time, so it is rare not to deliberately seek visits from Western Regions merchants.

Liu Miao wiped his tears, leaned on the car window and looked for an entire hour before he saw the 20,000 troops finishing. Li Sujun waited for the other party to leave before he stepped forward and went down the mountain and entered Hangu in the opposite direction.

Liu Miao couldn't help but burst into tears: "Ah... Dong thief! It's because of his great power that Li Zhonglang dared not speak out for justice, so he could only avoid his sharp edge."

Cai Yan comforted her: "Princess, don't think so. The court has its own laws. My senior brother has no choice. He forced himself to stay in the capital. Wouldn't he become a person who is disloyal to the court?"

After a few girls said some comforting words, they curbed Liu Miao's feelings of being corrupted by seeing Dong's army.

Liu Miao thought about it and suddenly said, "Sister, you know so much and are so beautiful. You are really a good match with your senior brother. Why didn't you marry at the age of fifteen? Li Zhonglang was not married yet, but in the end he was... By the way, which sister of your family is you who wants to marry Li Zhonglang?"

Liu Miao was talking, obviously because she had a more favorable impression of Cai Yan this day, so she brought the topic to the point of being upset and regretting that Cai Yan failed to marry Li Su.

Zhen Mi next to him was stunned: "My family... three sisters have made a marriage contract with the General of the Western Expedition this time, and I have never heard of having a marriage contract with Li Zhonglang. As for the fourth sister and I are still young, we just live with the second brother who is an official in Hanzhong."

Liu Miao: "It's impossible. He said in front of my mother that he had been engaged to the lady of the Zhen family. At that time, the queen mother thought that he was young and handsome and handsome... He wouldn't deceive my mother! I know, he was just timid and afraid of trouble, and was afraid of the troubles in the capital, so he was afraid that the queen would be betrothed to him by my cousin!

People who claim to be so loyal and righteous also rushed to the border counties one by one. Although Liu Yan was a thief who was usurped and defended himself, I understood them a little. If I stayed in the capital, I would be like being in a fire pit and trying to escape. What's wrong with it..."

Liu Miao was not very wise, and she couldn't say she was very smart. She was born in the Tian family and was used to the cruel and bloody palace struggles, so she had a mature sense of age when seeking profit and avoiding harm.

Cai Yan next to him couldn't help but feel ache when he heard Liu Miao say "Li Su and Miss Zhen's family have a engagement". He only felt relieved after the second half of the time. It turned out that it was just to prevent the lie that the empress dowager was entangled with her, so that she would be in a hurry to follow the power.

After all, the capital is so dangerous.

Cai Yan comforted Zhen Mi with great demeanor: "Sister, don't mind, the princess is a kind person and will not say these words. You don't have to worry about your reputation and the fourth sister being detrimental."

Zhen Mi lowered her head gently and softly: "Sister is so serious, but her younger sister has no virtue or talent. Even if someone rumors Li Zhonglang and my family... outsiders will not believe it."

Liu Miao was beside her. Although she couldn't say anything, her intuition told her that there must be another conspiracy in Li Su's marriage.

The road is a long way to know the power of horses and people's hearts will be seen over time. It depends on Li Su's future performance, whether he is loyal or traitor.

...

Three hundred miles away said that Li Su asked his troops to rush over and passed in three days. He spent the night in Mianchi and Hongnong each, and they were stationed in the city, saving the pain of sleeping in the wild.

The princess and the women were familiar with each other for a few days, and they were used to this level of bumpy and fatigue, and there was no trouble again.

On the evening of the third day, I had already passed through Tongguan and arrived in Huayin, and I officially left the mountainous area.

This was the first time when Liu Miao and others lived so big that they saw the danger of Mount Hua. They couldn't help but sigh at the dangerous and beautiful mountains and rivers. Especially when they passed Tongguan, there was the Yellow River in the north of the wall and the Huashan in the south. It was spectacular. The shadows of the Bagua that had been suffocated in their hearts a few days ago also blew away.

After passing Huayin, it is no longer Hongnong County, which is considered to be the boundary of Yongzhou. Although there are still 300 miles to Chang'an, it is much easier to walk than the 300 miles in the mountainous areas before.

Li Su asked someone to prepare a boat and went up the Wei River. It was very relaxing, and the women could sleep on the boat all day.

However, Liu Miao lived in the deep palace for a long time and was not familiar with water. She was seasick and vomited on the first day of boarding the boat. Li Su couldn't help but change her to the largest and most stable boat. However, the little girl was sensible and knew it was worth the hardship. She didn't pretentiously let the troops slow down. She forced herself to endure it for a day, and got used to it the next day.

Wannian County is east of Chang'an. On the seventh day of the ninth lunar month, when there was still one hundred miles from Chang'an, it arrived at Wannian first. The army stayed here for three days so that the princess could settle the mansion and wait for the chariot and cavalry general Huangfu Song to arrange the guards' forces himself.

However, on the third day of the reorganization of the Princess' Void Administration, a fast horse reported emergency military information came to Chang'an on the direction of Luoyang, sending letters.

Li Su's troops met halfway through and specially showed their identity as escorting the princess. They wanted to know the recent situation in Luoyang, so they were able to pre-heard.

"Lu Bu, the chief clerk of Jinwu Dingyuan, killed Yuan, and his troops joined Dong Zhuo. Dong Zhuo was recommended by the third father-in-law to advance to Sikong! Dong Zhuo proposed to abolish the emperor because of his cowardice and unfiliality, and to establish King Chenliu, and change the emperor to King Hongnong."

Except for Li Su, the other senior executives in his team were shocked, and Princess Wannian fell to the ground, fearing for her mother and the emperor's brother.

Li Su was still calm because he wanted to figure out some of his problems, so he took a piece of gold to reward the messenger and asked: "Which day is this? Is there no charge for killing Ding Yuan?"

For the sake of the bounty, the messenger was not afraid of delaying a few more minutes: "It was three days ago, that is, the sixth day of the ninth month. Ding Yuan was held accountable for "great rebellion". Because he violated Sikong and the Three Duke's determination of the emperor's fault, he did not admit that the emperor had acted unfilial, so he violated the Han Dynasty's principle of governing the world with filial piety."

Li Su made up the calculations and left on the first day of September. That was the sixth day after he left, and finally launched the killing of Ding Yuan and deposed the sacrificial power.

He walked for seven days and then rested for two days in ten thousand years, but the courier who was quick to speed up had finished it in three days, so the news was enough to catch up.

As for the reason why the emperor was deposed was also unfilial, Li Su took a little time to figure it out: because "dark weakness" was consistent with the original historical reasons, this time King Chenliu jumped into the bridge to escape and he did not dare to confirm that Dark weakness was even more confirmed.

"Unfilial" is actually because "Empress Dowager He jumped, but he dared not jump, which led to the thief who could hold him hostage and threaten his mother's queen". This behavior was also far-fetched to the scope of Confucian unfiliality. Of course, just like Cao Cao could use the crime of unfiliality when he killed Kong Rong. If Dong Zhuo wanted to depose it, he would definitely use it with a little bit of it. What's wrong with it if he wanted to add it?

However, the excuse of replacing King Chenliu this time was not "smart and studious". Dong Zhuo directly wrote that King Chenliu was "clear and decisive, determined and determined, and had the virtue of suppressing rebellion and conquering the world" and pushed him to the throne. Anyway, it was because of that jump that he tried to blow Emperor Xian to heaven in a different way, as if he was brave and fearless in the world.

"Emperor brother... wuwu..." Liu Miao sat down on the ground and cried bitterly for a while, crawling to Li Su timidly and hugged her thighs, "Li Zhonglang, will Dong Zhe ask for trouble for his mother? Will he come to arrest me? Is it safe for Wannian? Or I will live in Chang'an? At worst, I will set up another residence in the property brought by the palace maids? My mother asked you and Zhao Ziwei to protect me, but you can't just be the queen of mother..."

Li Su bit his lip: "Princess should not be rash, it is the same wherever she goes. In my opinion, although Dong Zhuo has a foundation in Yongliangguang, since he has been transferred back to Beijing, he is not the only one who can decide here.

Although the emperor changed his throne, the empress dowager was still the legitimate mother of the new emperor. Dong Zheliang dared not act too reckless. Before leaving, the empress dowager said that he ordered the general Huangfu Song of the chariot and cavalry to guard the three auxiliary guards and be responsible for protecting the princess. Did the princess forget?

Let me say this, please rest assured: As long as the general of the chariot and cavalry is in one day, the princess will stay in Chang'an... unless one day even the general of the chariot and cavalry is summoned to the capital by Dong Zhuo, that means that Dong Zhuo really has the intention to usurp the rebellion, not just deposed and established.

At that time, the princess could deliver a letter to Hanzhong in advance while the general of the chariot and cavalry had not left. Since I was entrusted by the empress dowager, I should protect the princess' safety when the general of the chariot and cavalry could not perform his duties - don't worry, I will ask Captain Zhao to personally lead the troops to escort you to Hanzhong."

Liu Miao thought about it with a panic expression for a while, and finally was comforted by these remarks.

Indeed, when the mother felt something was wrong, the person who directly entrusted it was Huangfu Song. As long as Huangfu Song was still there, his priority in protecting the princess was of course higher than Li Su.

"This Li Zhonglang is really... obeying the court's superiority and inferior laws. What kind of person is he? He dare not fight against Dong Zhuo, just because he is stupid and loyal? Why are good people more loyal than bad people, but bad people can always use any means? I heard that Huangfu Cheqi is also a loyal person to the court, but unfortunately he is also pedantic and unrestrained, alas..."

As Liu Miao thought about it, he became more and more suspicious about life.

Perhaps only a kind of flexible loyalty can suppress the rebels who use any means.

Li Su made up his mind and after handing over with Huangfu Song, he left the princess and took the remaining troops to Chencang, and walked away from the gates and returned to Hanzhong.
