The Three Kingdoms Fight for the Deer

Chapter 214

"What Feng Xiao said is that I can't completely turn against Li Yuan because of this matter. The most important enemy at the moment is Yuan Shao." Cao Cao took a deep breath, finally suppressed his anger, thought for a while and said, "Since Li Yuan If it angers me, I can't make it easy for him, this time Li Yuan escorted Emperor Xian to Xiapi, it can be said that the journey is long, if he meets Li Jue and Guo Si's pursuers, it will be enough for him to lose his troops, what does Feng Xiao think?"

"Could it be that the lord wants to release news on purpose to lure Li Jue and Guo Si from Chang'an to send chasers?" Guo Jia immediately understood.

Cao Cao nodded, "Exactly."

"I'm afraid that Li Yuan is too clever to calculate. It can be calculated that the lord deliberately released the news to lure Li Jue and Guo Si." This is the only thing Guo Jia is worried about.

"Feng Xiao can rest assured, I will wait for the soldiers to withdraw from Luoyang first, and after our army leaves Luoyang, let the soldiers pretend to be ordinary people and go to Chang'an to release the news. In this way, Li Yuan will not suspect me, even if he So what if there is doubt, and there is no evidence to prove that I did it, so he still can't do anything to me." Cao Cao was very confident about this.

"Since that's the case, do as the lord said, and the subordinates will make arrangements now." Guo Jia agreed, and then went to make arrangements.

Looking at Guo Jia's back, Cao Cao couldn't help but sneered and said, "Hmph, Li Yuan, I'll let you try my Cao Cao."

The next day, Yuan Shao and Cao Cao led the army out of Luoyang and returned to their respective territories. Li Yuan hadn't left yet, and in two days he would personally escort Emperor Xian to Xiapi.

The route to Xiapi has been planned, first from Luoyang to Xu County, then to Qiao and Xiaopei, and then from Xiaopei to Xiapi, all the way is Li Yuan's territory, so there is no need to ask other princes to borrow the way, in the There are no bandits and robbers in Li Yuan's territory, so there is no need to worry about being attacked.

Going from Luoyang to Xiapi is not far, and it is not close. If you ride a fast horse, it will take nearly ten days. If you walk, it will take half a month. However, the speed of escorting Xiandi and Baiguan to Chenliu this time must be very fast. Slow down, Li Yuan estimates that it will take 20 to 25 days. As long as he enters Yuzhou and Xuzhou, there will not be too many dangers along the way. The only thing that needs to be guarded against is the pursuit of Li Jue and Guo Si.

Five days later, Emperor Xian and all the officials finally packed up their belongings and went to Xiapi under the escort of Li Yuan's army. Originally, Li Yuan only gave them three days, but these court officials were too procrastinating and took more than five days Just cleaned up.

Zhao Yun's [-] Flying Cavalry Army led the way in front of the army as the vanguard, Huang Zhong's [-] soldiers and Zhang Ji's [-] troops served as the central army to protect Emperor Xian and the hundred officials, and the rear army was the [-] Runan Army led by Ji Ling. The soldiers are in charge, and if you find chasing soldiers, you need to notify the front army and the middle army immediately.

The army marched to Xiapi mighty and mighty, because Emperor Xian and the officials couldn't keep up with the speed of the soldiers, so they stopped and walked along the way, as fast as a tortoise. Huang Zhong and others swore that this was the time since they followed Li Yuan. It was the first time they marched at such a slow speed, but they had to slow down in order to protect Baiguan, which really made them feel pained.

Dong Cheng, who was following Emperor Xian, was shocked when he saw Li Yuan's soldiers and horses, because he found that although the speed of advance was slow, the soldiers did not complain. Only then can this be done.

Dong Cheng has seen many soldiers and horses of the princes in his life. The soldiers and horses of Li Jue, Guo Si, Han Xian, Yang Feng and Zhang Ji are not comparable to Li Yuan's soldiers. You can see that Li Yuan's soldiers are definitely stronger than other princes. I can't help but sigh in my heart. No wonder Li Yuan is always invincible. It turns out that there are such elites under his command. If Emperor Xian also has such a large army in hand, why worry about the Han Dynasty not revived? .

Zhang Ji and Zhang Xiu, who were traveling together all the way, were also very surprised. It was the first time they had close contact with Li Yuan's army. He had always boasted that his men were all good soldiers and good generals. However, after seeing Li Yuan's soldiers, they knew what training meant. white.

"Xiu'er, your senior brother's army is really a rare and elite army. No wonder he has never been heard of defeating a battle. If all the soldiers under his command are like this, I am afraid there is no enemy in this world that he cannot win."

Zhang Ji said softly next to Zhang Xiu, he knew the power of a well-trained army after being a soldier all his life. He used to follow Dong Zhuo's generals and had seen the power of Xiliang Army and Bingzhou Iron Cavalry. The soldiers looked good enough to compete with the Liang army.

Hearing Zhang Ji's praise of Li Yuan, Zhang Xiu felt very proud in his heart, and said: "Junior brother has been very smart since he was a child. He has learned martial arts, calligraphy and the art of war very quickly, and he can draw inferences from one instance. Basically, there is nothing that stumps him." thing."

Seven years ago when Li Yuan defeated Lu Bu at Hulao Pass, Zhang Xiu was in the barracks. At that time, he was Zhang Xiu's general. In Li Yuan's hands, he knew that Li Yuan's ability would only become more and more powerful.

Everyone walked and chatted, Emperor Xian and the officials were dawdling, the army was advancing at such a slow pace, they hadn't arrived at Xu County after five days, but they were already very close, and they could reach Xu County after another day.

The whole journey was calm, without any attacks, Emperor Xian and all the officials did not feel nervous at all, they regarded this relocation as a play, before Emperor Xian moved from Chang'an to Luoyang, it was extremely difficult, most of the officials lost, and he almost lost it Life, now under the protection of Li Yuan, he can finally rest comfortably, which made him feel very comfortable. It was the first time he felt that being an emperor was so comfortable.

Suddenly, a fast horse ran up from the rear army and walked up to Li Yuan to report.

"My lord, General Ji Ling found that there was an enemy chasing him from behind. Judging from the banners, it should be the troops of Li Jue and Guo Si." Said the soldier who ran up from the rear.

Emperor Xian and all the officials were terrified when they heard the words. Emperor Xian thought that it was hard for him to be safe for a few days, but he didn't expect that he still did not escape the pursuit of Li Jue and Guo Si.

"Li Jue and Guo Si caught up so quickly. It will take at least six or seven days to travel from Chang'an to Xu County at the speed of cavalry. I'm afraid they will get the news before we leave."

Li Yuan bowed his head and analyzed that they stayed in Luoyang for five days before leaving. During this time, someone should have passed the news of Emperor Xian's relocation to Xiapi to Guo Si and Li Jue in Chang'an. He estimated that the people who passed the news were either Li Jue and Guo Si The confidantes arranged by Emperor Xian's side were either Yuan Shao or Cao Cao's people. If they could set off two days earlier, they would have arrived in Xu County by now.
