This feeling can be recalled later, but it was already at a loss. ------"Jin Se" by Li Shangyin of the Tang Dynasty
It is said that Dong Zhuo announced to the world that Queen Mother He was the culprit who killed Queen Mother Dong, allowing Liu Bian to steal the throne, and wanted to abolish Liu Bian and establish a new king, Liu Xie. Most of the officials chose to remain silent, but Yuan Shao, Cao Cao and other knowledgeable people chose to leave Luoyang to run the army locally and separate one side for the future.
The world is on the verge of collapse, and the situation of chaos is unstoppable. After Dong Zhuo killed He Miao, he took the Imperial Forbidden Army under his command and became even more arrogant. Just when Dong Zhuo was getting carried away, suddenly Jia Xu rushed from Chang'an and said to Dong Zhuo: "Huang Gai, the commander of the first army under Chen Long, with an army of ten thousand, suddenly appeared in the suburbs of Chang'an. There are no strong soldiers in Chang'an, and there is no way. Resistance, Huang Gai's army was found to have entered the city. Why didn't General Dong quickly send troops to pursue it?"
Dong Zhuo just woke up from his dream and gritted his teeth and said: "No wonder Chen Long is so confident that he has already planned to kidnap the Young Emperor and Queen He and rob Chang'an. What should we do now? Chen Long has disappeared with Queen Mother He and Liu Bian a few days ago."
Jia Xu struck with both palms and said: "If it's broken, we must go to Chang'an to join forces. Chang'an is a fortified city that cannot be captured urgently, and there are Huangfu Song and Sun Jian's troops outside, who have always been loyal to the Queen Mother He. If they unite, Chang'an will no longer It belongs to us. If Liu Bianyu returns to the throne in Chang'an, there is no guarantee that some ministers will be ready to take action again."
Dong Zhuo was a little dumbfounded and said: "Mr. Jia, what should we do now?"
Jia Xu said: "Fortunately, we have tight control of Luoyang now, and we have the Bingzhou Army and the Forbidden Army in hand. Hua Xiong and Gao Shun can immediately lead the Bingzhou Army of 10,000 people; Fan Chou and Zhang Ji can lead the Xiliang Army of 10,000 people and rush Go to Chang'an, capture Chang'an with all your strength, drive Chen Long to Liangzhou, close the door and beat the dogs."
Dong Zhuo knew that Chang'an was of great importance, so he immediately followed Jia Xu's strategy and ordered Hua Xiong and Gao Shun as the vanguard, Fan Chou and Zhang Ji as the middle army, and led 20,000 troops straight to Chang'an.
Chen Long and his party stayed in the boat for three days and three nights, and finally arrived at Fengling Ferry. Gan Ning sent someone to notify Huang Gai and rented carriages and horses. Chen Long asked Queen Mother He and Liu Bian to get into the carriage, and he rode on the horse and slowly headed towards Chang'an.
Chen Long was thinking nervously all the way about how to deal with the chaotic situation in the world. The top priority is how to spread the news that the Young Emperor of Han was coerced by Dong Zhuo and had no choice but to leave Chang'an to see how many people were loyal to protect the emperor. In addition, he resolutely refused to recognize Dong Zhuo's new emperor and started a big public opinion war. Furthermore, we have to deal with Dong Zhuo's Xiliang army who is about to attack Chang'an, but we don't know who Dong Zhuo will send?
Along the way, Huang Gai has rushed to greet him, followed by military advisor Pan Jun and other guards. After Huang Gai met the Queen Mother He and the Emperor, he said to Chen Long: "My lord, according to your deployment, I took over the defense of Chang'an. Now, under the mediation of Zhong Yao, all the subordinate officials in Chang'an have surrendered. Only Jia Xu leads the troops. After entering the city, I couldn't find it anywhere, and I don't know where it was hidden."
Chen Long thought to himself, how could Jia Xu, an old fox, be discovered by Huang Gai so easily. He nodded and said: "There are Dong Zhuo's troops in Chang'an and Xiliang rebels outside. I'm afraid it will be difficult to defend. We need to prepare more food and defense supplies, contact Huangfu Song and Sun Jian's troops externally, use the banner of the Han Emperor to win foreign aid, and mobilize internally. The entire city's soldiers and civilians resisted Dong Zhuo's troops."
Huang Gai obeyed the order and went to arrange the city defense. Chen Long led the special forces to protect Queen Mother He to Weiyang Palace in Chang'an. Although the palace was not abandoned, it had not been used for a long time, and only the palace maids and eunuchs were left behind to clean it. According to Chen Long's instructions, the local officials from Chang'an quickly came to pay homage to the Queen Mother He and the emperor, and immediately began to decorate the palace and establish the court.
Chen Long sent Queen Mother He and Liu Bian into the palace and said to Queen Mother He: "Although we can escape death this time, Dong Zhuo will not give up. We can only fight with all our strength to wait for Zhao Yun's reinforcements. If there is anything wrong, This may lead to a fatal disaster. Therefore, the Queen Mother and the Emperor must set up another court meeting and set up hundreds of officials to confront Dong Zhuo's new king. The edicts are issued to various places, and King Qin is asked to challenge Dong. If the momentum can be increased, then There is hope only when we return to Luoyang in the future."
Queen Mother He was panicking. Although she was the Queen Mother, she suddenly encountered a big change and didn't know what to do. He Jin and He Miao were dead, the eunuchs she was usually close to were all dead, and all the officials were afraid of Dong Zhuo. The only thing she could rely on now was Chen Long's overnight love for her. Now it seems that Chen Long not only sacrificed his life to save her own life, but also mobilized his troops and generals to help her with all his strength. Queen He finally felt at ease.
It's just that the Queen Mother He's love for Chen Long has never been extinguished by the turmoil in the world and life and death. Along the way, Liu Bian was inseparable from Queen Mother He. Queen Mother He was unable to express her feelings directly and was very depressed. Every time he looked at Chen Long with his beautiful eyes, Chen Long always lowered his head and avoided it with a respectful attitude, as if he had forgotten the beauty of that night. Empress Dowager He couldn't help but sigh in her heart, where should she go with her deep attachment and affection for Wen Long?
It had just been three days since Chen Long arrived in Chang'an. More than 10,000 Qinglong troops had been on high combat readiness for days, and defensive supplies were piled on top of the city. On the one hand, Chen Long sent people to Anding to contact the troops of Huangfu Song and Sun Jian who were confronting Han Sui, hoping that they could withstand the rebels in the west and Chang'an of the province would be attacked from both sides. On the other hand, Chen Long sent Gan Ning to quickly go to Hanzhong with fifty special forces. , help Zhao Yun capture Yangping Pass as soon as possible, and ambush along Shangluo Mountain to the eastern suburbs of Chang'an in order to surprise Dong Zhuo's troops attacking Chang'an and assassinate the Yangping Pass guard if necessary.
At the same time, Liu Bian of the Weiyang Palace returned to the throne, and the Empress Dowager He took charge of the government, reopened the court meeting, issued an edict to the world, and ordered all the important officials of the court to attend the meeting to confront Liu Xie's court meeting. For a time, officials from all over the world took sides, some supporting Liu Bian and some supporting Liu Xie. Liu Bian's court also received allegiance from many people, both openly and secretly. For example, Cai Yong of Luoyang, Cui Yan of Jizhou and other great Confucian scholars were all under the leadership of Dong. The heart of the camp is in Chang'an.
On this day, Chen Long was patrolling the city when he suddenly saw a horse riding outside the city. A man on the horse covered his face with a green scarf and shouted loudly to open the door. Chen Long was overjoyed when he heard his voice, and hurriedly gave the order to open the door. He ran down the tower and went out of the city himself. He lifted the man off the saddle and said, "Gongda! I've finally waited for you."
Xun You smiled and pulled off the green scarf that covered his face. He bowed his hands respectfully and said, "Your Majesty, please accept my bows."
Chen Long supported him and said: "Gongda! You don't have to be polite. I have been waiting for you for many days! Tell me, how did you come out? What is the situation in Luoyang? Has Jia Xu arrived in Luoyang? Who did Dong Zhuo send? Capture Chang'an?"
It turned out that Xun You was in Luoyang that day, and Bensai gave Chen Long a note and wanted to meet Chen Long alone to discuss the matter of eliminating Dong Zhuo. Unexpectedly, Chen Long broke out in a hurry and escaped from the tunnel without a trace after rescuing Queen Mother He and Liu Bian.
Xun You had no choice but to discuss with Yilang Zheng Tai, He Yong, Shi Zhongzhongji, Yueqi Colonel Wu Qiong and others: "Dong Zhuo is unethical and everyone in the world hates him. Although he has gathered many elite soldiers, in fact He is just a brave man. We should assassinate him to thank the people, and then use the emperor's edict to command the world. This is an act of overlord like Duke Huan of Qi and Duke Wen of Jin."
Everyone made a plan and agreed on a date to assassinate Dong Zhuo, but it was not thorough enough and people discovered it before it happened. He Yong was arrested and imprisoned. He feared to commit suicide in prison. Cao Cao loved Xun You's talents and always protected Xun You and tried his best to win over him. When Xun You gave Cao Cao an idea to offer the Seven-Star Sword to assassinate Dong Zhuo, he unexpectedly failed. When Cao Cao fled Luoyang in a hurry, he took him with him. Although Xun You was moved by Cao Cao's care, he still missed Chen Long's virtue. He also remembered his agreement with Chen Long, and went back to Yingchuan to visit his parents alone with Cao Cao. Farewell, after going through many difficulties and dangers, Dakuan finally arrived in Chang'an.
Seeing Chen Long's rapid-fire questions, Xun You hurriedly said: "My lord, I only know a little bit about the situation in Luoyang. Before his subordinates and Cao Cao fled, Dong Zhuo had been eliminating dissidents, and later forcibly established Liu Xie as Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty. , we all fled one after another, refusing to kneel down and worship the new emperor. As for Jia Xu, I seem to have heard that he is Dong Zhuo's number one think tank, but we don't know what his actions are."
Chen Long was still overjoyed. After all, Gongda was a world-famous mastermind, and his soft power had gained another weight. This time the defense of the city lacked a heavy military advisor. The two chatted happily and were happily walking into the city hand in hand. Suddenly, the sound of horse hooves came from behind. Chen Long and Xun You turned around, only to see two horses disappearing in front of them in the blink of an eye.
When Chen Long looked carefully, he saw that the first group of horses was one of his special team members who stayed at Fengling Ferry, and they were responsible for checking whether there were any warships attacking from the direction of Luoyang. When he looked at the second group of horses, he couldn't help but said with great joy: "Zhao Da, it's You came!"
