Dong Cheng and Yang Feng were tied together and thrown into the Yellow River. Yang Feng was originally good at pouring water, but Dong Cheng, a landlubber, quickly sank to the bottom. Looking at Yang Feng rising and falling in the wind and waves of the Yellow River,
With Dong Cheng, all the officials were afraid of Long Fei just as they were afraid of Dong Zhuo. Liu Xie felt that he had truly seen Long Fei clearly today. Compared to Dong Zhuo, Long Fei was several times more terrifying. He was more tolerant than Dong Zhuo.
He is more ruthless than Dong Zhuo, and he knows how to win people's hearts better than Dong Zhuo.
After the car crossed the Yellow River, Gao Shun led Xu Huang and Huang Zhong were waiting in Mianchi. Xiahou Dun was really good at carrying his troops. After he led his army to Xingyang, he received a spy report that there were troops stationed in Luoyang, and they were Long Fei's troops.
Xiahou Dun didn't take it to heart. Although Cao Cao specifically told him to be careful about Long Fei before leaving, Xiahou Dun didn't take it to heart because of his bravery.
After stopping for a while, eight thousand cavalry rushed through Hulao Pass and headed straight for Luoyang. As soon as they arrived at Huxiaolin, a group of cavalry blocked the way. The leader was General Xu Huang. The two fought for more than a hundred times, and neither side could win or lose.
A battle began. Xu Huang's cavalry were originally the cavalry of Captain Long Feidian, and they were all heavily armored cavalry. As soon as they fought, Xiahou Dun was shocked. These cavalry were actually invulnerable, and the Xiahou Dun cavalry they killed were retreating steadily.
Xiahou Dun had no choice but to retreat. Before he reached Hulao Pass, another group of foot soldiers blocked his way. Xiahou Dun was furious and led his troops into the battle. Gao Shun commanded calmly and took advantage of the heavy armor to withstand the impact of the cavalry.
Without the supplement of horse power, the mobility of the cavalry was severely weakened. Gao Shun's infantry divided them and defeated them one by one. Xiahou Dun only led thirty cavalry to break through the encirclement.
Arriving at Hulao Pass, the big yellow battle flag on the city tower fluttered in the wind. A hail of arrows shot Xiahou Dun back. Not only did more than twenty people die, Xiahou Dun was shot in the left eye by Huang Zhong's arrow and fainted. Fortunately, he was shot by Huang Zhong in the left eye.
The sergeant was a local and led others to carry Xiahou Dun over the mountains and around the Hulao Pass, thus saving his life.
After Cao Cao hurriedly sent people to rescue Xiahou Dun, he called in the soldiers who had escaped and told him the experience of the attack in detail. After listening to it, he sighed: "I haven't seen you for a year. Long Fei is so powerful. Eight thousand armored cavalry."
Only three or five people came back!"
Even so, Cao Cao was still unwilling to give in and hurriedly sent people to inquire about Long Fei's whereabouts. According to what Dong Cheng said, it seemed that the emperor had been kidnapped by Long Fei. Long Fei had lofty ambitions and must be removed! Cao Cao summoned his generals overnight to guess Long Fei's whereabouts.
Military advisor Xi Zhicai glanced at the map: "A few days ago, Long Fei's subordinate Gan Ning came out of Wuguan. It is said that he brought tens of thousands of people with him. I thought Long Fei's purpose was here!" Xi Zhicai pointed at Wancheng.
.
Cao Hong looked at it and said: "No way, this Wancheng is a place of four battles. There are Liu Biao in the south, Yuan Shu in the east, and Li Jue and Guo Si in the west. If we attack from the north, Long Fei will have nowhere to go! He
You can’t be so stupid!”
Xi Zhicai shook his head: "What the general said is true, but with Long Fei's current strength, Li Jue and Guo Bang dare not provoke Liu Biao, the minister who is guarding the land, and Yuan Shu hopes that Long Fei will contain us so that he can free up his hands.
To unify Jiangnan, to put it bluntly, Long Fei’s only enemies when he occupies this place are us!”
"No!" Cao Cao waved his hand: "We are not the only enemies of Long Fei! There is also someone who wants to eat Long Fei's flesh alive!"
"Who is it?"
Cao Cao grabbed a piece of silk, brushed it with a brush, rolled it up and handed it to Cao Hong: "Send someone to Hanoi immediately, you know who to give it to!"
Long Fei was not a ruthless person. Since they all arrived in Luoyang, he took Liu Xie into the city to satisfy Liu Xie's wish to worship his ancestors. Luoyang City has become a deserted city, and the bustling crowds in the past have been replaced by devastation. There are ruins and broken walls.
, the wild grass is as tall as one person. Now in late autumn, the grass and trees are withered and yellow, and the hares and foxes have become the real masters here.
Occasionally, one or two old and sick common people looked at this group of gorgeously dressed people with dull eyes. Liu Xie wanted to cry without tears. Thinking of the scene in Luoyang back then, he felt heartache. The palace walls were still there.
, there is a lot of grass in front of the door, and the gate has long since disappeared. Standing outside, you can see the majestic palace inside. Most of the palaces that have been in disrepair have collapsed. Mushrooms are growing out of the roots of the large red-painted pillars.
, ants crawled all over it.
Liu Xie knelt on the ground and cried bitterly. All the civil and military officials hurriedly knelt behind Liu Xie and cried loudly. "Father, my child is useless. I can't even protect the ancestral temple. My child is useless!" Liu Xie shouted hoarsely and almost wanted to kill himself with a sword.
, were all persuaded by hundreds of officials.
After seeing the imperial palace, he went to the Ancestral Temple, and even the tombs of the previous Han emperors were visited one by one. After a delay of more than ten days, Long Fei finally couldn't bear it anymore. He saw that Liu Xie just didn't want to leave, and was looking for all kinds of things.
He opened Liu Xie's curtain and said, "Your Majesty, should we set off? Originally I only promised three days, but half a month has passed. If we don't leave, winter will begin!"
"Please be patient, dear, and the matter of moving the mausoleum of the empress and the emperor to the emperor has not been settled yet. How can we just leave like this?" Liu Xie laughed and laughed at Long Fei while drinking: "Wait for a few more days.
, as soon as this matter is settled, I will go to Wancheng with Aiqing!"
The ministers were present, but Long Fei couldn't help but refute Liu Xie's face, and left the tent angrily. Behind him came the laughter of Liu Xie having a banquet with civil and military officials. Long Fei was so angry that he really wanted to leave.
The emperor is really difficult to serve. If you speak harshly, others will compare you with Dong Zhuo. If you speak softly, it will have no effect at all. There is nothing you can do when you return to the big tent.
Seeing Long Fei's angry face, Jia Xu smiled and said, "Are you still not leaving?"
Long Fei nodded. Jia Xu said: "Now we are begging them, of course they will not listen to us. If they were begging us, the effect would be different!"
"What does Wen He mean?"
Jia Xu smiled mysteriously: "My lord, please leave this matter to me. I guarantee that they will come to my lord in three days to discuss going south!"
Liu Xie was drunk yesterday and felt dizzy after getting up. He shouted twice but no one paid attention. He had no choice but to get up by himself. The teapot was empty and no one came to serve him. Just as he was about to go out to check, Taicang
Ling came in crying with a group of people. While everyone helped Liu Xie change clothes, they told their own experiences.
The Taicang Ling is the official in charge of the emperor's food, money and food. Although there is nothing for him to take care of now, the food distributed by Long Fei to Liu Xie and the officials needs the Taicang Ling to collect it. Today is the day to receive the food, as usual,
The Ling of Taicang came to ask for food. Unexpectedly, the grain officer refused to give him food on the grounds of insufficient army rations. The Ling of Taicang was so angry that he ran to Long Fei to complain. When he didn't see Long Fei, he was stopped by Jia Xu. Jia Xu must have said it well.
I took strict measures, but I waited until noon and still didn't see a grain of food.
The civil and military officials were so hungry that they came to inquire one after another. The Taicang Order could only tell the truth. Taifu Ma Ridan led the civil and military ministers to reason, but they were stopped outside the camp gate by soldiers. Sili Colonel Zhong Yao
He gently pulled Ma Ridan: "Master, don't waste your efforts! Long Fei won't see me waiting, so I'd better go back and report to Your Majesty, please make a decision!"
These people are also great talents, and you can understand the reason with a little guessing. Ma Ridan was furious: "Long Fei is ambitious. This is to force His Majesty. Even if we die, we will not let Your Majesty go to beg him!"
Zhong Yao shook his head: "I am surprised by what the Grand Tutor said. Our life and death are not important matters. How can your Majesty, with his body of ten thousand chariots, accompany us to starve and freeze!"
"Your Majesty, the mighty Emperor of the Han Dynasty, cannot condescend to ask for Long Fei!" Situ Yang Biao said: "In this case, where is the face of the Han Dynasty?"
Zhong Yao said: "My lords, have you ever thought about why Long Fei forced Your Majesty like this?" Everyone looked confused, and some who had guessed pretended not to know. Liu Xie's plan to stay in Luoyang was exactly Ma Ridan and Yang Biao.
, Huang Wan and others came out. They thought that as long as Liu Xie refused to leave, Long Fei would have no choice. Moreover, several people had already asked Yuan Shao, Yuan Shu, Cao Cao, Liu Biao and others for help. As long as they waited for the coalition forces to arrive, they would be able to fight with the last request.
Dong Yi also attacked Long Fei, but Long Fei's strength was simply unstoppable. There was hope of rebuilding Luoyang.
"Luoyang is the ancestral land, we cannot leave it lightly!" Ma Ridan was heartbroken, his white beard curled up and down, and his whole body was trembling. Huang Wan and Yang Biao had expressionless faces. Their envoys to contact the princes had been sent out long ago, but they were delayed.
They were puzzled by the lack of reply. Now Long Fei came to press him again. It wouldn't be long before the other officials would persuade Liu Xie to follow Long Fei even if Liu Xie refused to leave.
"Master Zhong, what do you think?"
Zhong Yao saluted Liu Xie: "Your Majesty, if your Majesty agrees to go to Wancheng with Long Fei, I will go to Long Fei's camp and ask Long Fei to distribute food!"
Liu Xie looked at the eager expressions of those below. He knew that Long Fei had pinched him seven inches this time. Luoyang was deserted and he was walking in a hurry. Along the way, Long Fei divided the troops and provided food for himself and the officials.
If he didn't leave, he might not starve to death, but I don't know how many of the officials would survive. The officials who came from Chang'an were killed once by Li Jue and Guo Si, and again by the Huns.
There are not many left, and if a few more are starved to death, I will really be alone.
Early the next morning, Long Fei ordered his people to start packing up the camp. He had had enough of staying in Luoyang. The emperor's chariots and officials had packed up last night. As soon as the sun appeared on the horizon, the army set off. Long Fei sent Zhao Yun
The light cavalry was in front, Xu Huang's heavy cavalry was behind, Gao Shun and Zhang Liao were guarding the left and right, and Huang Zhong was guarding the center. The army set off.
Luoyang is not far from Wancheng. It can be reached by a quick horse in one day. From Yongning, you can cross Luoshui and go all the way south to Wancheng. Xu Huang's heavy horse was arranged to be cut off in order to prevent anyone from pursuing it. Whatever you are afraid of, just come.
Before they arrived at Yongning, Xu Huang came to report that a large group of troops were coming towards them. It seemed that the banner was being raised by the governor of Hanoi. There were so many people that they were chasing after them.
Jia Xu said: "I have few soldiers, so we can't fight here. It's not too late to cross Luoshui first and then fight!"
Long Fei gave an order and threw down everything he could, including the emperor's ceremonial guard and chariots, mounted Liu Xie on his horse, and quickly advanced toward Luoshui with two soldiers to protect him.
