Chapter 207 The mysterious weapon of Liu Bei’s Guards Corps
Returning to the province silently, the emperor Liu Bian frowned and worried.
The most informative news in the palace is now, and the news of Dong Zhuo’s visit to Yongle Palace is no longer a secret.
Therefore, both eunuchs and palace maids looked at Liu Bian with strange looks.
Queen Tang Ji took off the crown clothes for her husband and changed into regular clothes.
She heard some rumors about Dong Zhuo's change of emperor.
After Liu Bian changed his clothes, Tang Ji brought a sweet soup to her husband.
Seeing that the dessert still could not relieve Liu Bian's melancholy, Tang Ji, who was already showing her worries, spoke.
"Your Majesty, I have seen my mother today. Judging from my complexion, I have improved a lot. Your Majesty should go to Changle Palace to greet you."
Liu Bian knew that his mother woke up, but she could only turn her eyes and could not speak. It was a matter of trouble in the palace and court, so Liu Bian did not expect this.
However, the two had a very good relationship. The queen didn't make much suggestions. She suddenly mentioned Empress He today, which surprised him.
"Well, I'm going. Did the queen hear something?"
Tang Ji said carefully: "I didn't hear any adverse news about my mother."
Liu Bian suddenly looked up and immediately realized that his wife had uncovered a confusion for him.
Yes, everyone was talking about changing the emperor, but there was never a single word about the Empress Dowager coming to the court.
Dong Zhuo has always been close to Yongle Palace. If the emperor was replaced, it would be normal for the Empress Dowager to come to the court as usual. How could it be so abnormal?
After dinner, the emperor and the empress went to Changle Palace together to visit Queen Mother He.
When she learned that her son and daughter-in-law were coming, Empress Dowager He asked her to wash and dress up, and she specially raised her upper body.
Liu Bian stepped forward, his posture became much more low-key, and he knelt respectfully to ask for advice.
At present, Empress Dowager He is in a state of unstable condition and cannot speak, so she can only communicate with her eyes.
Zhang Rang and his personal female official dare not report the too exciting news.
But the moment she saw her son, Empress Dowager He keenly realized that the problem was extraordinary.
Immediately look at the card with the words "Court Hall" and then turn to my son.
Zhang Rang understood that this was asking the emperor to tell the situation in the court.
Liu Bian has suffered too much grievance and fright in the past few days. Under the questioning of his mother, he has told the truth one after another.
Without hesitation, Empress Dowager He turned her eyes to the "Superior Official" card. She did not blink and confirm until the female official clicked "Zhi Jinwu".
Zhang Rang understood that this was to summon Liu Bei to the palace.
But Zhang Rang and Liu Bian believed that Dong Zhuo had too many troops now, and once Liu Bei left the villa, he would inevitably be killed by the Liangzhou army.
But Empress Dowager He insisted on summoning him, so Zhang Rang had to do so and sent a yellow angel to invite Liu Bei quickly.
No one understood very well that the possibility of Liu Bei being summoned was slim, but the empress dowager was confident.
In the villa of Liu Bei's northern suburbs, the yellow angels finished sending the order, and watched nervously how Zhi Jinwu replied.
"Please reply to the Queen Mother. Within one hour, I will enter the palace to meet you."
The Zhonghuangmen was so shocked that he asked again: "Uncle the Emperor is sure to enter the palace?"
"That's right!" Liu Bei nodded and said, "If I cannot enter the palace, the Empress Dowager will not be summoned."
After receiving the accurate letter from Zhonghuangmen, he immediately praised Liu Bei for his unparalleled loyalty and righteousness, and then returned to the palace to report his life.
Liu Bei issued a series of combat orders, first sending a note to the Liangzhou army, claiming that Liu Bei was ordered to enter the palace and must make way for the passage along the way.
At the same time, the 1,200 guards in the villa were fully armed and set off to the east, and martial law was implemented along the way, and annihilated it on the spot if there was any obstacle.
The Guards' Army were all mules and horses, with as many as thirty or forty vehicles of various types. The most eye-catching one was three special carriages with metallic luster.
Moreover, the three hundred people guarding three core carriages and twenty Thunderbolt II cannon cars were armed with long tubes, and were equipped with sharp blades at the front.
When Li Que received a note from Liu Bei, he was always in his mind to take the opportunity to attack. Before the Yellow Gate Angel entered the villa, he had already learned that the Queen Mother's summoning was true.
Therefore, while he reported to Dong Zhuo urgently, he ordered the artillery, cavalry and infantry to prepare for attack.
However, before Dong Zhuo's order arrived, Liu Bei's guards had already opened the villa one after another and advanced quickly to the east.
The carriages are scattered and the horses are scattered and powerful, and ghosts and gods are easy to resist.
Li Que quickly received specific military information. Liu Bei's entire army had 1,200 men, twenty two-type artillery guns, three special chariots, and three hundred black-clothed guards equipped with strange weapons at the core.
It is a problem to fight or not.
Because there were a large number of novel equipment in Liu Bei's army, Li Qi did not dare to act rashly and finally chose to follow up.
In half an hour, the army arrived at the Xiamen, the closest Xiamen to the palace city in the eastern capital.
The Liangzhou guards stationed at Xiamen were already controlled by the Jinyiwei, and the city gate was immediately opened.
Three large special carriages entered the city one by one, successfully entered the Beigong, and went straight to Changle Palace in the province.
Li Que followed him all the way, and by this time he realized that Dong Zhuo was not afraid to start a war like himself.
Liu Bei crawled out of the horse tank and watched the musket battalion cooperate with armed eunuchs to defend Changle Palace before stepping into the hall.
Liu Bei paid a visit to the Empress Dowager and the Young Emperor and his wife according to etiquette.
Seeing that the emperor's uncle really arrived as promised, Liu Bian and Tang Ji were extremely surprised.
The Liangzhou Army suffered heavy losses in the villa in the northern suburbs because of the castle. It regards Liu Bei as a thorn in his side. How could he miss such an opportunity?
But the emperor is so awesome!
After the greetings, Liu Bei said to Empress Dowager He: "Everything is in control, so don't worry about the Empress Dowager. I also visited famous doctors and came to Beijing soon for treatment."
Queen Mother He glanced at the sofa, and Zhang Rang immediately shouted: "Give me a seat to the emperor!"
Liu Bei thanked him and sat down, and Zhang Rang asked the prepared questions.
"What do the emperor's uncle think about the army in Liangzhou, detaining the emperor's tutor, and excluding dissidents?"
Liu Bei immediately replied: "The Liangzhou army is in the imperial edict, and even if there is any inappropriateness, it is inconvenient for me to interfere."
Empress Dowager He pressed step by step, and Zhang Rang asked again: "The Liangzhou army intervened in the palace dispute, which is the root cause of the disaster. How can the emperor's uncle hold back?"
Liu Bei smiled and said, "The Queen Mother of Shengming has no fault. When the Feng is healthy, he will take charge of the government again. What is the only martial artist in Liangzhou?"
This time, Empress Dowager He's eyes became vivid.
So that's the case. She understood that this time it would not involve her power to govern the court.
On the other hand, it also means that Liu Bei lost patience with Liu Bian.
She knew in her heart that many of her son's ideas and practices were too naive, and at least half of her illness would be taught by him, so it would be better to teach her lessons.
Judging from the current situation, Dong Zhuo lacks confidence in confronting the Yongzhou Army, so he cooperates with Liu Bei to establish the emperor.
The only comforting thing is that Liu Bei has preserved his status and power.
When Liu Bei communicated with the Empress Dowager, some people became curious about the new equipment that appeared in the Yongzhou army.
Therefore, one of the Liangzhou Army guarding the palace city intended to approach the Mara tank under the name of patrol.
Ma Chao immediately sent an order to order him to detour and not to approach Changle Palace.
But this group of people deliberately took the order from their superiors to find fault, so how could they easily retreat?
Both sides will not give in and friction may break out at any time.
Ma Chao was not used to the Liangzhou horse thieves and ordered without hesitation: "Cross the cordon and fire directly!"
However, the Liangzhou Army did not know what the concept of warning scope was, and still walked inward with a big thrust.
"Big and Bitch!"
The Mauser flintlock rifle has become Liu Bei's first choice individual weapon because of its ease of production, good stability, and guaranteed accuracy and speed.
The Liangzhou ten-person patrol team fell down four people in an instant.
Ma Chao ordered again without any mercy.
"Continue to fire!"
"Big and Bitch!"
Three more people were knocked down, and smoke, screams and blood spread.
Xu Rong, who was on the palace wall, finally saw clearly how Liu Bei's core guard used that strange weapon.
Putting down the telescope, he murmured, "So amazing!"
Hua Xiong also put down the telescope in his hand and said in confusion: "It seems to be a handheld artillery!"
Xu Rong changed his face: "Hand cannon!"
Dong Zhuo was confused: "Hand cannon?"
