The car that moved the capital soon left Luoyang.
When they left Sheyuan Pass and crossed Songshan Mountain, even if they walked an extra distance, they would have to completely bypass Liang County and not give Yang Feng a chance to cut off his retreat.
However, this extra mile was directly to Xu County and was not arranged by Chen Zhou.
But not long after they left, Han Xian and Zhang Yang led troops to Luoyang.
During this period of time, they kept trying to contact Yang Feng, but they couldn't get a response from Yang Feng. They didn't even hear from the people sent out to deliver the message. They wondered if there was something wrong, so they took action. , ready to go directly to Yang Feng and besiege Cao Cao.
When passing through Luoyang, I was surprised to find that there was only an empty city left in Luoyang.
The emperor, the ministers and others were all gone.
Under this investigation, it was found that Cao Cao led the emperor to move the capital. He had left Luoyang long ago and bypassed Liang County to go to Yingchuan.
When they got the news, they were in a hurry.
The emperor left, which was very disadvantageous for them. In fact, they also thought about doing something similar to Dong Zhuo, so they hurried to Liang County to find Yang Feng.
"General."
At this time, some subordinates hurriedly walked into the military camp in Liang County and said anxiously: "Han Xian and Zhang Yang are leading troops to approach our Liang County."
"What?"
Yang Feng was shocked.
How dare Han and Xian attack their own Liang County?
He shouted loudly: "Come here, gather the whole army and prepare to fight."
He now only has more than 9,000 people left in Liang County.
Han Xian and Yang Feng had a little more troops than themselves. Each of them had about 12,000 troops. However, relying on the city wall of Liang County, it was not impossible to defend, but the whole army became nervous because of this.
"General, Han Xian and Yang Feng are less than two miles away from us."
At this time, Yang Feng's subordinate, Xu Huang, stepped forward and said.
They looked towards the north of Liang County at the same time.
I saw smoke and dust rising all over the sky in the north, which was the scene of the army marching in a hurry and trampling on the ground.
Yang Feng said harshly: "They dare to attack my Liang County. They are seeking death. The whole army is ready to fight."
Not long after, more than 20,000 soldiers came to the city.
"General Yang, open the city gate quickly."
Han Xian shouted first.
Yang Feng sneered and said: "Open the city gate and let you come in? The archers are ready to draw their bows and kill anyone outside if they dare to approach the city wall."
Zhang Yang shouted: "General Yang, you misunderstood. We are not here to attack Liang County, but to discuss with you to pursue Cao Cao and bring back the emperor. We all fell into Cao Cao's plan, and he took the emperor away. At this time, Luo Yang has become an empty city."
Han Xian echoed: "Cao Cao established his power in the court, killed Tai Zui and the other three, and suppressed the two of us. I have sent people to contact you many times, but I have not received any response. Cao Cao must have intercepted our sending Go people.”
Hearing this, Yang Feng frowned.
The spread of news in ancient times had a serious lag.
Especially when information is deliberately blocked, it is basically impossible for the blocked party to obtain outside information.
Yang Feng is in this state now, and it is impossible to judge whether Han Xian's words are true or false.
"Cao Cao is going back to Yingchuan, and we are in Liang County, how could we not know?"
Xu Huang retorted.
Zhang Yang said loudly: "That's because Cao Cao passed through Shenyuan Pass and avoided your Liang County. If General Yang doesn't believe us, he will really let Cao Cao escape back."
Yang Feng was tangled in his heart, but the other party was approaching the city, so it was not very credible to talk about cooperation in this way.
He was afraid that as soon as he opened the city gate, more than 20,000 people from outside poured in, and his more than 9,000 soldiers could not stop them.
"Go check it out!"
Yang Feng hesitated until the end and shouted: "Send people out of the city to check the Sheyuan Pass, and at the same time hold on to the city."
Xu Huang immediately arranged for people to leave the city.
As soon as the city gate opened, it was quickly closed again.
A fast horse rushed out and bolted toward the east.
Seeing that Yang Feng still wanted to investigate at this time, Han Xian and Zhang Yang below the tower were anxious, but they had no choice but to continue waiting.
Waited for almost half a day.
The soldiers who went to pursue him finally came back and hurriedly walked into the city gate.
"General, Cao Cao really took the emperor and the ministers of the court, bypassed our Liang County, and ran away from Sheyuan Pass."
"What?"
After hearing the news, no matter how brave and foolhardy Yang Feng was, he realized that he had been deceived by Cao Cao.
Cao Cao stabilized him, took the opportunity to take the emperor away, and even blocked the news.
But he didn't know anything and thought Cao Cao was a good man.
"General."
Xu Huang thought quickly for a moment and said: "Cao Cao must have some conspiracy to take away the emperor. Even if Han Xian and Zhang Yang are allowed to attack Yingchuan, they are no match for Cao Cao. Even if they add us, they can't defeat them. It's better to abandon them." Go to Liang County to join Cao Cao?"
"impossible!"
Yang Feng said angrily: "Open the city gate immediately. All soldiers obey the order. Cao Cao takes the emperor hostage and leaves Luoyang. Follow me to rescue the emperor."
Seeing that he didn't listen to the persuasion, Xu Huang had no other choice.
Judging from the current situation, it is not a good idea to snatch the emperor.
Han Xian and Zhang Yang outside the city saw Yang Feng opening the city gate and understood that the results of the investigation had come out. However, after another half day, even if they chased him now, Cao Cao would have run far away and would not be able to stay and wait for you to chase him. superior.
At this point, it’s impossible not to chase.
As Yang Feng led his troops out of the camp, Han Xian and Zhang Yang also pursued in the direction of Shenyuan Pass.
——
Cao Cao took the emperor with him, passed through Shenyuan Pass, and came to the vicinity of Songshan Mountain.
It was getting late at this time, and the sun was slowly setting in the west.
The team that took away the Emperor looked particularly long under the setting sun.
"After crossing, the pursuers should be coming soon."
Cao Cao glanced at Shenyuan Pass behind him, and then said: "We are leading the emperor on the road, and the speed is much slower than the ordinary march. If Zhang Yang and others want to catch up, they must march in a hurry, and the speed will be faster."
What he said was also true.
Chen Zhou nodded and said: "We have been waiting to welcome the emperor since the beginning of spring. It is now June and July. The weather has been dry recently. The sun is shining in the sky, causing the leaves on the ground to fall and turn yellow. There is little moisture in the air. Sometimes we don't need kerosene, just a little A spark can also ignite a prairie fire."
"You mean, attack with fire?"
Cao Cao immediately looked at the mountainous area at the foot of Songshan Mountain.
The passage they passed passed through a valley, with grass and trees on both sides. It was quite lush and seemed to be suitable for setting fire.
"That's right!"
Chen Zhou said: "My lord can lead the emperor's chariots to leave first. I am here to take charge of the rear. I can also tell the emperor that Guo Si and Li Jue, together with Han Xian and others, have led troops to pursue them. They came from Liang County and Shen County respectively." They are chasing us from the direction of Yuanguan and want to cut off our road to Xiangcheng, so we can only temporarily change our route to Xu County."
After hearing this, Cao Cao understood that this was the way to force the emperor to go to Xu County.
First, use Xiangcheng as a cover to get closer to Liu Biao, and the emperor will be more likely to accept it.
After leaving Luoyang, it is not up to the emperor to decide where to go. In addition, whether true or false, false or true, the enemy is chasing from which direction, they can say whatever they want.
Take the initiative.
"I see!"
Cao Cao warned: "Be careful when crossing!"
