Three Kingdoms Swept the World II

Chapter 644
In the fifth year of Chuping, on February 194, 2 AD, Liu Xie, the emperor of the Han Dynasty, also known as Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty, entered Luoyang.

Standing in the ruins of the former imperial palace, Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty shed tears.But he finally returned to the Eastern Capital. He hoped for a new start, so he stood in the ruins of Deyang Hall. He changed his reign name to Jian'an, which was the first year of Jian'an.

The year name of Jian'an, in the heart of Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty, has the meaning of reconstruction and tranquility.

At noon that day, Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty, Liu Xie, was in a small palace where people could barely live in the former imperial palace, staring at the lunch in front of him in a daze.

Just half a month ago, the conflict between Li Jue and Guo Si intensified, and they broke up completely, and the leaders and tribes fought under the city of Chang'an.

Liu Xie, who had long wanted to escape from Chang'an, was assisted by Yang Feng, the captain of Li Jue's army, Dong Cheng, Situ Guo's uncle, Sikong Ma Yuexun, and Yang Biao, the Taiwei, and others. , took all the civil and military officials and escaped from Chang'an to Luoyang, the old capital.

Li Jue and Guo Si were shocked when they heard the news. In order to regain the emperor and the court, they stopped their internal fighting and came to chase Han Xiandi.

Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty was chased in a hurry and panicked, so he listened to Dong Cheng and others' suggestions and sent an order to recruit Han Siam, Hu Cai, and Li Le, the three bandits from the Anhe River, to rescue him.The three soldiers and horses planned to use this to wash off the name of the thief and become a prince along the way, so they came here happily.

Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty added Yang Feng as a chariot general, and Han Xian, Hu Cai, and Li Le were all generals.Yang Feng was such a big official with them, so he also used his life.With these three soldiers and horses, plus Yang Feng's troops, more than 2 people, Li Jue and Guo Si were blocked.

Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty finally arrived in Luoyang, but under pressure, Li Jue and Guo Si reconciled, joined forces, and fought with Yang Feng and others.They hope to eliminate Yang Feng and others, and seize the holy car again.

However, after Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty entered Luoyang, he saw that the imperial palace was completely burned, the streets were deserted, and wormwood was everywhere.The majestic palace of the past, only the ruined walls are left.When all the officials came to congratulate, there were mud and weeds under their feet.

For lunch, there is only coarse grains and corn.

Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty looked at the food in front of him, and said displeasedly: "There are tens of thousands of people in Luoyang, are these the only ones?"

Under the hall, Situ Guo's uncle Dong Cheng, Taifu Sikong Ma Rixun, and Taiwei Yang Biao stood with their heads bowed.There are also hundreds of officials, looking at the rice in the bowl of Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty, swallowing their saliva.

Dong Cheng said: "Your Majesty, since the capital was moved, Luoyang has been barren for a long time, and there is no one to govern it. Last year was another year of famine. Today, the people of Luoyang eat grass roots and bark to satisfy their hunger..."

This is how it happened. Although Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty arrived in Luoyang, the local situation was different from what he had imagined.The Luoyang area is already in ruins, he still has a mouthful of rice to eat, and all the officials in the court eat grass roots.

In short, the current imperial court has nothing, and it is miserable.

Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty couldn't eat any more, threw away his chopsticks, and said worriedly: "What to do, the eastern capital is in ruins, and there is nothing in the imperial court. How can I govern the country?"

Ma Rixun came out of the class and said: "Your Majesty, you can invite the local officials of the Han Dynasty to escort you, rebuild the court, and restore the prestige of the Han Dynasty."

Ma Rixun is loyal to the Han Dynasty, and what he said is a good way.Now that the imperial court center does not have any resources, food is a problem, and it is necessary to rely on resources from other places to rebuild the imperial court.

Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty asked, "Who can come to protect you?"

Ma Rixun immediately said: "Cao Mengde in Yuzhou, Qin Zijin in the North, and Yuan Benchu ​​in Qingzhou."

Dong Cheng and Yang Biao frowned, thinking that Master Ma was getting old and a little confused.

Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty burst out laughing when he heard the words, but his voice was bitter, and said: "The people you mentioned have been attacking each other for several years and vying for the territory of my great man, but no one has come to Chang'an to rescue you. These people It's not the people who rebuild the Han Dynasty, but the people who destroy our Han Dynasty, they all want to be emperors themselves."

The ministers were shocked and fell silent.

Dong Cheng secretly said: "Your Majesty suffered a lot from Li Jue and Guo Si, but he has grown up and can understand it."

Ma Rixun said again: "Xuzhou Liu Xuande, Jingzhou Liu Jingsheng..."

Han Xiandi did not speak, but Dong Cheng shook his head at him.Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty understood Dong Cheng's meaning, and secretly said: "The imperial family is weak, but the clan is powerful. People like Qin Feng, Cao Cao, Yuan Shao and others are foreign ministers, and they may still take care of them. If Liu Bei and the others are summoned, I will I have to give way to the clan in a legitimate way."

When Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty thought of this, he felt aggrieved and sad, so he cried out and cried, "The world is so big that no minister can help me."

The ministers were ashamed and knelt down on the floor, "The minister is guilty."

"Report...." The general of the Imperial Forest Army came in panic, and said, "Your Majesty, something is wrong, and a group of soldiers came from outside the city."

"Whose soldiers and horses?" Han Xiandi asked in surprise.

"Looking at the flag, it should be the soldiers and horses of General Cao of Yuzhou." The guard panicked.

outside the city.

Cao Cao came with his [-] troops.

Due to the dilapidated city of Luoyang, the city walls collapsed everywhere, and there was no city defense at all.In addition, Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty had no troops to defend.Cao Cao triumphantly entered Luoyang and went straight to the palace.At this time, Cao Cao was the first to come to Luoyang. He was full of energy, leaping on his horse and raising his whip, "With Emperor Han in hand, I have the world."

Tens of thousands of people in Luoyang fled in panic.

Cao Cao led the army to the gate of the already ruined palace, and there were only [-] imperial guards loyal to the Han Dynasty guarding Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty.

The garrison general of the imperial forest army saw Cao Cao coming, and the [-] troops were not something the imperial forest army could resist at all. The garrison army paled and swallowed their saliva.He was terrified, but still forced himself to be calm, and said: "Your Majesty has an order that the soldiers and horses of Yuzhou Mu should withdraw from the city, and there is another order to send them to the army."

Cao Cao's face was gloomy, and he looked down on the five hundred Imperial Forest Army who were like little chickens, and snorted.On the side, Guo Jia said: "My lord, it's not too late, do it as soon as possible, otherwise things will change."

Just when Cao Cao was about to forcibly enter the palace to seize the driver, there was a lot of dust in the north, and a big army came.

Under the protection of Yan Liang and Wen Chou, Yuan Shao came to the gate of the palace.Seeing that Cao Cao hadn't entered the palace yet, he let out a sigh of relief, "It's not too late."

Boss Cao's complexion became even darker, and he looked down on Yuan Shao coldly.And Yuan Shao wiped the sweat from his forehead, his complexion became gloomy.Although the two sides did not speak, although the two sides were brothers before, at this moment, the eyes of the two sides could kill each other, and invisible sparks burst out when they met in mid-air.

At this time, there were five hundred imperial guards loyal to Han Xiandi in the palace.But to Cao Cao and Yuan Shao, these soldiers are nothing at all, they can be destroyed with a flick of a finger.But they are afraid of each other, and they still dare not rebel blatantly.

So Cao Cao and Yuan Shao looked at each other without saying anything.Boss Cao said indifferently: "Brother Benchu, we haven't seen each other for many years, why don't you and I retreat outside the city temporarily to catch up on the old days."

The two tacitly agreed, but the heart of the decisive battle understands each other.The two sides lead the army out of the city, whoever wins, when they come in again, Han Xiandi will naturally belong to him.

The two began to lead the army out of Luoyang City.

At the same time, Qin Feng's army had just arrived at Chaoge Ferry in Luoyang.
