The Three Kingdoms began with the rescue of Mrs. Mi

Chapter 836 Empress Bian: I believe in you alone

Cao Mao vomited blood and passed out.

After losing wildly in a gamble, this staunch young emperor really couldn't accept the ending of failure.

When Cao Mao fell, the already panic-stricken Wei Palace suddenly became chaotic.

"Wang Shizhong, where are you going? Your Majesty hasn't woken up yet?" Empress Bian squatted on the bluestone ground, hugging Cao Mao's head with both hands, and yelled anxiously.

In the direction her eyes were looking at, Wang Shen was lifting up his robe and running towards the palace gate with small steps.

Hearing Queen Bian's shout, Wang Chen paused, but soon ran forward without looking back. Judging from his running speed, it was actually a bit faster than the sneaky trot just now.

Xiong Ershan was defeated.

Luoyang has no danger to defend, no soldiers to defend, and the next step is that the Shu army will enter the city in a large scale. Wei Chen like Wang Chen who has repeatedly opposed the Shu Kingdom, once caught, it will be a dead end.

Thinking of this, Wang Chen couldn't help sweating, and he no longer cared about what Cao Mao would think when he woke up. He wanted to follow Xun Xu immediately, and after returning home to pack up his belongings, he fled to Mengjin Ferry together.

As long as you cross the river, it is the territory controlled by Jin Wang Sima Zhao. Compared with the hairless Cao Mao, whether it is Xun Xu or Wang Shen, you must trust Sima who is an adult and has rich experience in fighting against Shu Zhao.

Wang Chen ran away.

Other officials of the Wei state, such as Wang Ye, Zheng Chong and others who followed suit, also escaped from the palace.

Among them, some followed Xun Xu and Wang Chen and wanted to gain a career with Sima Zhao, while others were simply disheartened and hid at home and got drunk on their own.

Around Cao Mao, there was a large group of officials at the beginning, and gradually decreased. In the end, almost all the officials disappeared, leaving only Mrs. Bian and a group of servants to accompany Cao Mao.

Although Bian is a queen, she is only a young lady who is not yet fifteen years old. When she is at a loss, she can ask for help only to serve the people in front of her.

Among these servants, Bian's most trusted is the old man who followed Cao Mao when he was in the Donghai Palace earlier.

"Your Majesty can't stay in Luoyang. Does anyone of you know how to get out of the city and go to Yecheng?" Mrs. Bian recruited a group of people from the old palace, including Guo Jian, and asked them one by one.

When the Wei State was founded, there were five important cities in the east, west, north, south, and middle, namely Chang'an, Qiao, Xuchang, Ye, and Luoyang.

Among them, Luoyang was the old capital of the Eastern Han Dynasty, "standing in the middle of the world", so it was naturally designated by Cao Pi as the capital of Wei State.

Qiaojun is the place where the Cao family and Xiahou family lived. Among the generals who followed Cao Cao in the early years, such as Xu Chu and Li Dian, they all took refuge in Cao Cao when he stayed in Qiaojun.

Yecheng is the most important city in the north of Cao Wei.

Cao Cao deployed troops and generals here to defeat the invincible Yuan Shao's forces in one fell swoop, thus establishing the Central Plains. After becoming the overlord of the north, Cao Cao also practiced the navy here, and built the Tongque Terrace to raise the female relatives and young people of the princes from all over the country. A beautiful woman, Cao Wei's clan has a lot of influence in this place.

King Sima Zhao of Jin came to Yecheng in advance, just to control Yecheng earlier. At that time, Cao Mao was only greedy for the prosperity of Luoyang, and did not expect that Yecheng was the best base for Cao Cao to leave to his descendants.

Empress Bian wept and asked several times in a row, many of the servants and servants in the palace cried with her, but none of them could offer an idea to relieve her worries.

Guo Jian has been lurking in the Wei Palace for many years. According to his qualifications and ability, his current status should be Cao Mao's closest servant, but this is not the case.

After returning to Luoyang from Lu'an, Guo Jian became much more low-key.

Liu Feng's request to Guo Jian to lurk beside Cao Mao was not that he had to send back any important information. With the current national strength of the Shu Han, it was no problem to deal with a Cao Mao.

Guo Jian's role in the Wei Palace is more of a reminder and early warning.

"The key to lurking lies in being ordinary." When Guo Jian parted, Liu Feng reminded him of such a sentence.

After Cao Mao became the emperor, more and more people surrounded him, and he stopped paying too much attention to Guo Jian, a former confidant.It's just that these people who follow others are looking at the identity of Emperor Cao Mao, and there are few people who are really loyal to Cao Mao.

With the complicated backgrounds of the people in the palace, Guo Jian felt that if he, a person whose appearance was ruined, approached Cao Mao too actively, he would easily attract others' attention.

And once his true identity as Queen Mother Guo's younger brother is exposed, he won't live long.

However, although Guo Jian wanted to keep a low profile, there were always people in the palace who remembered him.

"Servant Guo, what good idea do you have?" Queen Bian had sharp eyes, and after looking around among the servants, she found Guo Jian crouching behind her.

Empress Bian still remembers this servant who thought very much when she was in the East China Sea Palace.

Guo Jian had no choice but to be named, so he stood up honestly and reported: "Your Highness, there is no good way for the villain?"

Seeing Guo Jian's resignation, Empress Bian cried even more: "Guo Neishi, but you are still blaming His Majesty for being estranged from you. In this matter, His Majesty is indeed at fault, and I am humbled to you on his behalf."

Empress Bian mourned and wept, stood up reluctantly, and bowed solemnly to Guo Jian.

When Guo Jian was treated with such courtesy by the queen in public, his face couldn't help but change. If he kept pretending not to know, Queen Bian would probably make even more surprising moves.

"Your Highness, I remember that there are big households in the city who often use merchant ships to transport grain. If Your Majesty doesn't mind, you can take a grain boat across the river to the north, and after arriving in Hanoi County, change to a horse-drawn carriage to go to Yecheng."

When Queen Bian heard what Guo Jian said, hope rose in her heart, and she quickly said: "Guo Neishi, the matter of contacting the grain merchants, I will leave it to you alone. No one else will believe me, so I will trust you alone."

After finishing speaking, Queen Bian solemnly untied a jade dragon from her waist, which symbolized the status of the royal family of Wei State, and handed it to Guo Jian.

When he was appointed by the defeated army, he was ordered to be in danger.

Empress Bian's trust made Guo Jian's heart fluctuate and he couldn't calm down.

He originally wanted to take advantage of the fall of Luoyang to end his latent days and return to Han to live a normal life, but now it seems that if he does this, Cao Mao and Queen Bian may not let him go.

"Your Highness's order." Guo Jian bowed his head to accept the order, and then ran out of the palace with the cronies sent by Empress Bian.

In the city of Luoyang, there are quite a few big households transporting grain. The only one Guo Jian knew well was Guo De, a compatriot whose surname was changed to Zhen. Selling is also a major source of income for the Zhen family.

As soon as Guo Jian left, Empress Bian immediately ordered the palace servants to pack up the valuables, packed them into a carriage together with Cao Mao, and fled out of Luoyang North Gate to Mengjin Ferry.

As long as they can board the grain ship, Cao Mao and her can escape.

As for what would happen after crossing the river, Queen Bian hadn't thought about it that much.
