Chapter 390: The Battle of Yuan and Liu (20)

Xiahou Yuan was in Juan County, and he saw Zhang Fei coming from afar, and he was surprised, didn't Meng De say that Zhang Fei would go to Ling County, how did he get here again?

Seeing Zhang Fei's army coming slowly, Xiahou Yuan had few soldiers, so he could only stare dryly. was in a hurry, and suddenly saw Cao Cao also coming. Xiahou Yuan was overjoyed, hurriedly went out to greet him, saw Cao Cao, and talked about Zhang Fei's matter, Cao Cao sighed: "Zhang Fei has Jia Xu and Xun Yu in his army, these two are national soldiers, and my plan is in his eyes." ”

Since he came, Cao Cao was naturally not willing, so he led his troops to stop Zhang Fei. When they reached the border, the Son of Heaven and the ministers also relaxed, and then they heard the sound of the golden drum again, which made people probe it, saying that Cao Cao was chasing the car. The Son of Heaven was shocked, Dong Cheng followed his side, and said: "Your Majesty, there are Zhang Fei and others in front, Your Majesty is worry-free." ”

When the Son of Heaven heard this, his heart was a little relieved, but he still couldn't help it, and led hundreds of officials to go up to the tall building to watch the battle. Zhang Fei saw Cao Cao chasing after him, and he didn't panic, he rode out of the column to the circle of the formation, and said in a loud voice: "Cao Gong, my reinforcements have arrived, and your army can retreat quickly!" ”

Where Cao Cao is willing to believe, he is going to raise troops to attack, suddenly there was a commotion in the rear, the sound of horses' hooves rose, and several horses galloped over, worshiping Cao Cao's horse: "Lord, fifty miles away in front of Juan County, there is a Qingzhou soldier coming. ”

Cao Cao listened, and knew that the general trend had gone. He led his army to retreat slowly. When Lu Bu and Zhang Xiu saw Cao Cao's troops retreating, they knew that reinforcements were coming, and they were eager to try, saying that Zhang Fei said: "This is a good opportunity to break the enemy." Now that Cao Cao is gone, we can lead the army to attack him. ”

Zhang Fei listened and said, "Although Cao Cao's soldiers retreated, the formation was not chaotic. Judging by the use of troops, the rear army must be left to prevent me. "Where are Zhang Xiu and Lu Bu willing to listen, they just want to chase. They had a big battle with Cao Cao before, and each lost a lot of people, but now that they have the upper hand and forced Cao Cao away, where are they willing to let go of this opportunity to beat the water dogs.

Zhang Fei is only Liu Bei's general, and the title is far from Zhang Xiu and Lu Bu. Zhang Xiu and Lu Bu laughed a few times, then joined forces and led the army to chase Cao Cao.

Xun Yu next to him saw it and said, "I expect that General Zhang and Lu Er will be defeated." ”

In the afternoon, Zhang Xiu and Lu Bu were really defeated. When he entered the camp and saw Zhang Fei, he was ashamed and said: "I didn't mean that Cao Cao was treacherous, and he set up an ambush on the way. ”

Zhang Fei was about to say comfort, and Jia Xu next to him said: "If you can chase it again, you will win." ”

Lu Bu and Zhang Xiu looked at each other, not knowing if Jia Xu was telling the truth. Zhang Fei also looked at Jia Xu unexpectedly. Jia Xu showed that he was not wrong, and Xun You next to him also said: "Jia Gongsi is very right!" ”

Zhang Fei saw that Jia Xu and Xun You both talked about it, so he patted the case and said: "From the words of the two, chase Cao Bing again!" So he sat in the big camp, so that the deputy general led the troops out with Zhang Xiu and Lu Bu, and then chased after them.

Rushed all the way, caught up with Cao Cao's rear army, and after a big battle, Cao's army had no will to fight and was defeated. The generals took advantage of the situation to cover up and kill, and returned with triumph. When they arrived at the camp, Lu Bu and Zhang Xiu came to find Jia Xu and Xun You. Jia Xu knew its purpose, so he smiled and said: "Water is impermanent, and soldiers are impermanent. Although Cao Gong retreated, he must leave the elite soldiers behind. The two generals were defenseless, so they were defeated. If the general is broken, he will advance quickly with a light army to return to Yanzhou. The two generals pursued and took them by surprise, so they were able to win. The second general was impressed.

At this time, Tai Shici also brought troops over, and after meeting the Son of Heaven, the two generals joined forces and went straight to Qingzhou. When they arrived in Qingzhou, Zhang Fei opened the way in front, Tai Shici led the crowd to break off, and Zhang Xiu, Lu Bu and other generals were in the Chinese army. At this time, the Son of Heaven and the hundred officials boarded the Luan chariot and the carriage, propped up the crown cover, and the honor guard was in the book, and they went one after another. At this time, although it could not be compared with the thousands of rides and thousands of horses traveled by the Son of Heaven when the imperial court was at its peak, there were tens of thousands of troops in the army, and the majesty of the Son of Heaven was also shown under the hugs of the front and back.

Qingzhou is not a poor imperial court, and when he was in Guanzhong, the Son of Heaven could only run by ox cart. When I arrived here, the iron cavalry in front opened the way, followed by Lu Bu and Zhang Xiu. Then there was the servant in the front car, followed by the tiger and the feather forest, and then behind the princess one after another, and then there were a team of guards with eighteen weapons neatly arranged. Tianzi Luan drove in the center, six white horses pulled the cart in front and walked slowly, the left and right sides of the sergeants were tightly guarded, the flag was waving, the canopy was fluttering, and a drum music followed behind, the drum music was noisy, and the momentum was magnificent. At this time, the Son of Heaven realized the emperor's prestige and decency.

Along the way, there are people who whip up and clear the road. The surrounding people were amazed when they saw such a large-scale convoy, and when they asked, it turned out that it was the Son of Heaven of Chang'an who arrived in Qingzhou, so they made a noise and knelt down a large area.

The Son of Heaven rode on the high Luan, and when he saw where he went, the people on the official roads around him knelt down like the wind blowing wheat waves, and his heart was full of satisfaction and emotion. I haven't seen anything like this in years.

When Liu Bei learned that the Son of Heaven had entered, he led the civil and military forces of Qingzhou to greet him. When he arrived in the plains, he learned that the Son of Heaven was stationed in the plain city, and he was busy in the court.

What was the situation after Chang'an was plagued by the princes of Liangzhou? The palace was burned down, the market was deserted, the walls of the palace were broken, and the city was full of white bones and artemisia grass. During the great famine, all the officials had nothing to eat, and it was often heard that people died of starvation. Look at Qingzhou again, this way, there are countless fields on both sides of the official road, and there is an endless stream of pedestrians on the road, and laughter and laughter are endless. The people of Qingzhou have a look of hope and longing on their faces. In the plain city, restaurants, markets, and all walks of life are all thriving.

Along the way, the Son of Heaven and all the officials saw it in their eyes and remembered it in their hearts. I couldn't help but feel a little more convinced and admired Liu Bei in my heart. The world is in turmoil, and the princes are fighting. Qingzhou is peaceful and prosperous, and Liu Bei is really very human. I heard that Liu Bei had arrived, please see me outside. The Son of Heaven was busy preaching.

Liu Bei entered, saw the Son of Heaven, and worshiped under the temple steps. The Son of Heaven gave him a seat and proclaimed his condolences. Liu Bei said: "The minister is to Meng Guoen, every time he thinks about retribution, but there are many bad lucks, and he does not succeed." Today, you Dahan, Your Majesty is here. What a blessing! ”

The Son of Heaven said: "The minister of Qingzhen Sheji is also!" ”

Then he worshiped Liu Bei as a general, increased the number of households in the food town by 3,000, and recorded the affairs of the book. Han Guanyi: Han Xing, a general, is the prime minister. When it came to the Eastern Han Dynasty, the general was originally under the three dukes, but because of this position, most of them were led by relatives, and when the Han Dynasty and the emperor, Dou Xian was the general, and the power was overwhelming, so since Dou Xian, the general was above the three dukes. Record Shangshushi, in the Western Han Dynasty, it was the Shangshu Shi, and when the Zhao Emperor of the Han Dynasty, the general Huo Guang handled the government, and Jin Riyan and others jointly led the Shangshushi. By the time of Emperor Zhang of the Han Dynasty, Taifu Zhao Xi and Taiwei Mu Rong recorded Shangshu Shishi, and since then, Lushang Shushi has replaced Lingshang Shushi.

Liu Bei was a general who recorded Shangshu affairs, was in a high position, and always adhered to the government. In the Taiping years, he was the real power in the world. Now that Liu Bei is actually separating Qing and Xu Erzhou, the Son of Heaven is just giving him an official name. After all, the imperial court has moved to Liu Bei, and Liu Bei has indeed made great achievements. In the future, I will have to rely on Liu Bei to sweep the world, and if I don't give some benefits, I can't say anything.

Liu Bei and the Son of Heaven pushed back and forth according to the procedure, so Liu Bei was worshipped. Then he led the army to escort Luan Jia along the way and went to Linjing.
