Overlord!

Chapter 134 Don't Know Your Side?
In this big man world, which hero can you rely on?

For Xu Huang right now, if he doesn't take refuge in Cao Cao and Sun Ce, only Liu Bei, Yuan Shao, Yuan Shu, Liu Biao and other princes are left.

But Liu Bei is too far away.Brothers Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu are too powerful, and they can't see Xu Huang, a captain with more than a thousand troops, but Liu Biao has gathered a large number of generals of the Xiliang Army, from Yang Ding who is alone, to the commanding troops in Nanyang Zhang Xiu and Xu Huang were not only unpopular in the past, they might even be excluded.

As Liu You said, when the army is defeated, the best place for Xu Huang to surrender is Jiangdong Sun Lang.

So Xu Huang hesitated for a moment, then decisively bowed to Liu You, and said: "Sun Lang has the ambition of Huanwen, and Huang is willing to help Sun Lang become a king."

Liu You was overjoyed and said with a smile: "Good! Our army has made a strategy to break through the Yuanguan Pass and enter Luoyang to pay tribute. Captain Xu can lead our army into Guanzhong."

The sound of the drums and horns of the Jiangdong army has become clearer and brighter. This kind of majestic momentum seems to be resounding in the chests of everyone, and no one can resist.

Xu Huang could only cup his hands and said, "I'll straighten out my subordinates and join the army."

Xu Huang's troops were indeed well-trained, their formation was strict, and the troops marched strictly in the pass, and no rebels dared to stop them.

At this time, everyone finally saw some clues to the chaotic situation.

It seems that the fire was not set by the Jiangdong army.

It was caused by Han Siam's troops attacking Dong Cheng's troops!
The two chaotic armies were in chaos in the fire, fighting and fleeing everywhere, showing signs of chaos.

Xu Huang understood something, and introduced to Liu You who was beside him: "The dispute between Han and Dong has long been very dangerous. Before that, General Chariot and Cavalry planned to defect to Duke Cao, General of Zhendong. Han Siam once He led troops to attack Dong Cheng, and Dong Cheng rode away alone. It was only because of the emperor's favor that Dong Cheng was able to lead the army again."

"Both the Son of Heaven and all the officials participated in the mediation, and the two stopped their troops just now. I don't know why they are attacking each other again today."

Liu You inferred: "It must be because of Jiangdong's tribute. If Dong Chengzhang cuts off the tribute at Yuyuan Pass, he will be powerful and can be dispersed and merged, and even lure the various departments of the Xiliang Army. His army may even surpass Han Siam. .”

Xu Huang asked: "Then what should I do now?"

But the question is that, in fact, how to deal with it is completely out of the control of the two.

As the closed gate was opened, Jiangdong soldiers in red robes and black armour, holding high banners, filed in from under the gate, and a continuous army array poured into the pass, quickly crushing all the rebellious troops.

Chen Wu, Zheng Bao, and Xu Huang all command more than a thousand troops, and three thousand elite troops are enough to affect the outcome of a big battle.

Especially when the enemy was in chaos, the [-] troops had no way of distinguishing their opponents. With the violent attack, the entire defenders of Zhiyuan Pass were defeated and expelled.

The troops of Han Xian, Yang Feng, and Dong Cheng were all defeated and suffered heavy losses.

The Jiangdong tribute envoy team broke into the crippled city of Luoyang all the way.

Han Siam's army was directly beaten and the main force was wiped out, while Yang Feng's army rebelled elite, it can be said that its strength was exhausted.As for Dong Cheng, it is not worth mentioning.He rode off alone again and went to Zhang Yang.

Gao Cheng never thought that his tributary team of 2000 people was almost going to control the government.

You know, when Dong Zhuo came to Beijing, he brought only 3000 troops.

This also means that if Gao Cheng is willing to continue fighting in Luoyang City, he may really hijack the emperor and all the officials.

Of course, this will inevitably cause Jiangdong's reputation to be as rotten as the Xiliang Army.

Because there are not no troops in Luoyang City, the Emperor's Huben Army, Han Siam, Yang Feng's remnants, and Liu Biao's thousands of troops are all stationed here and building palaces.

If the emperor could be robbed by force, Liu Biao's troops would have been there long ago.

Moreover, Jingzhou and Jiangdong are feuds.When others attack Luoyang, Liu Biao's troops may sit idly by.

But if Jiangdong's tributary envoys want to remove the emperor, the Jingzhou army will definitely fight to the death.

Therefore, Gao Cheng and Chen Wu did not continue to attack after reaching the city of Luoyang. Instead, they stationed troops outside the city of Nancheng and sent envoys to the palace to ask for tribute.

The envoy's visit made the panic-stricken court finally calm down a little.

The emperor urgently sent envoys Chi Jie to the Jiangdong army camp in Nancheng to appease the tributary envoys, and at the same time stepped up time to reorganize the defenses around Luoyang City.

The Son of Heaven has experienced so many hardships, and his will is very firm, that is, no matter what, the court cannot fall into the control of a warlord again.

In fact, Luoyang's defense is also very substantial.

Don't look at this area of ​​ghosts and creatures that was burned by a fire a few years ago, and there are ruins everywhere, but five or six years are enough to make the city full of weeds and restore its vitality.

Liu Biao even sent people to rebuild the palace here.

Therefore, after the emperor returned to Luoyang, he arranged for the troops to be stationed separately. Han Xian and Dong Cheng stayed in Beijing to garrison the imperial palace, while Yang Feng, Zhang Yang and others left to garrison Luoyang.

As Dong Cheng was the nephew of the Empress Dowager Dong, the biological mother of Emperor Han Ling, the biological father of the emperor Dong Guiren, and the closest kind of relatives, Dong Cheng was extremely trusted by the emperor, and he intended to support him to take on important responsibilities.

This time the generals united against Cao Hong, and they were appointed by the emperor to command the armies.

Even if he was defeated and fled, he could still lead the army back at any time to support the emperor.

After Gao Cheng and Xu Huang analyzed the situation, they believed that under such circumstances, if the Jiangdong army rushed into the city rashly, it might attract the troops loyal to the emperor around Luoyang city to attack from all directions.

Moreover, the emperor and even the officials of the imperial court have expressed their attitude very firmly, and never hope that another foreign army will step into the forbidden area!
Therefore, Gao Chengnai sent envoys to make contributions, to report to the ministers and below, and to report the crimes of Han Xian and Yang Feng.

But then something happened that shocked everyone.

To everyone's surprise, the general appointed by the imperial court, Sili Xiaowei, Jia Jieyue, and Han Xian absconded in fear of execution!He ran away alone and went to join Yang Feng.

The whole Luoyang has really entered an undefended state!
Obviously, Han Xian is also very clear that the things he did cannot stand the liquidation of the court.

But he is a great general, but he fled just because of a tribute form, and he is indeed an incompetent idiot.This kind of warrior with no talent in martial arts, once the army is defeated, it will be scattered like sand and cannot be reunited.

But the escape of this idiot completely shocked the layout of the entire Luoyang court.

The emperor had to meet Jiangdong's tribute envoys under forced circumstances.

But in fact, the seemingly unpredictable situation, people in the game don't feel much at all.

From the perspective of the Jiangdong envoy, it means that his tribute team arrived at the city of Luoyang. The emperor sent an envoy to express his condolences that night.

Then Jiangdong sent an envoy, Yique, to report the crimes of Han Xian, Yang Feng, Dong Cheng and others to the emperor and Gongqing.

Otherwise, there is really no way to explain why the Jiangdong envoys attacked all the way into Luoyang.

You have to choose a reason to attack the Son of Heaven and the Lord of Qing, right?
Gao Cheng and others could not say no matter what, they attacked Luoyang all the way to hold the emperor hostage.So it can only be said that Yang Feng, Han Xian and others are treacherous officials of the court and obstructed the tribute.So I waited for the army to clear the emperor's side, and wiped out the thieves in the court for the emperor, so that the tribute of loyal ministers could be sent to the emperor.

The matter of Qing Jun's side was almost abused by countless careerists in the Central Plains, and his reputation was extremely bad.

But at least this time, the idea of ​​the Jiangdong tribute team is really on the side of the Qing emperor, and the government is still in charge of the emperor.

So much so that the next day, when the Jiangdong envoy said that he was really on the side of the Qing emperor, eradicating Xiliang traitors, and making the emperor take charge of the court, the entire emperor and ministers were shocked.

Those who were also shocked included the envoys Gao Cheng and Han Xian who fled in fear of punishment. The Jiangdong envoys did not hear the news at all, and went to the emperor smoothly.

Today, the world is full of wars and turmoil, everything is simple, even the palaces in Luoyang City are very simple, and there are many weeds and thorns between the pavilions and corridors of the palaces.

Even the number of officials in the imperial court was not enough. A group of officials with colorful faces, listening to his generous speech and submitting the list of tributes, felt that the revival of the great man was hopeful.

Although this small court is small, it still maintains the red tape of the court.

For the official tribute, Gao Cheng could only follow the procedure like a puppet on a string, and he didn't even have a chance to exchange a few words with the emperor.

Fortunately, the emperor was very clever, and after the tribute ceremony, he took the initiative to invite Gao Cheng to discuss matters in the palace.

Gao Cheng entered the palace under the leadership of Xiao Huangmen, only to find that the palace was empty and there were no ministers present.

In Gao Cheng's astonishment, a voice came from behind him: "Gao Qing, don't be surprised, I ordered all the ministers to be dismissed."

Gao Cheng turned around quickly, and saw the young emperor wearing a black crown, standing in front of the gate and staring at him.

He immediately bowed respectfully and said: "The foreign minister pays homage to His Majesty, and greets Sheng An respectfully."

Liu Xie walked up to Gao Cheng, helped him up personally, and said: "Gao Qing is exempt from courtesy. I have already heard the news that the tribute team under your command has begun to send gifts to Taicang. Since the country lost its order, the chaotic ministers and thieves have all used weapons When we bullied the court, and when we met Qing, I know that there are still generals in this world who respect the king's order and abide by their duties, but after the Qing Dynasty, they really have no intention of controlling the government."

Gao Cheng respectfully replied: "Foreign ministers interfering in the government is the way to create chaos, and the ministers dare not overstep. After paying the tribute, we will lead the army back to Jiangdong immediately. With your Majesty's sages and sages, you are allowed to govern the government, and the Han Dynasty must Can Zhongxing."

"The Han Dynasty will be rejuvenated." Liu Xie's face was full of hesitation, and he said: "The reason why I dismissed the ministers was to leave only Qing. I just wanted to hear the true words of Qing, a foreign minister. I am a big man. I am sure to be rejuvenated." ?”

As the Son of Heaven, he has heard too many times that the imperial court must be rejuvenated by the court ministers and officials.

From the beginning of the murder of eunuchs by General He Jin and Sili Xiaowei Yuan Shao, it is said that killing all eunuchs in the world can rejuvenate the country.

As a result, the authority of the Han emperor was dismantled, and the emperors were all abolished by powerful ministers.

Then Dong Zhuo made him king by force, and also told him that the emperor is smart and can rule the world.With the Holy Son of Heaven coming to the court, the great man will be able to rejuvenate.

The result was unprecedented catastrophe.The country is completely in chaos, and the world is falling apart.

Finally, Dong Zhuo was killed, and the country's traitor was eliminated.

The whole city of Chang'an celebrated with joy, and millions of people in Guanzhong thought that the world would usher in a revival.

No matter how hard the suffering is, that's it, right?The next day should get better.

But the reality gave everyone a cruel and incomparable blow.

Li Jue, Guo Si and others began to disrupt the government.

It turned out that everyone thought that there would be no more difficult days, but they discovered that they were still living in the world before.

Since then, I have lived completely in ghosts.

Millions of people in Guanzhong were almost killed and injured. Eight hundred miles away in Qinchuan, the bones of the dead were exposed in the wild, and there was no rooster crowing for thousands of miles!

Now that the Xiliang army has been eradicated, can the big man really usher in ZTE?Instead of falling into a more miserable state?
If it falls to the next level, will the Dahan Society be about to collapse?

At this time, Gao Cheng said solemnly: "The minister is a foreign minister. It is not as good as a public official with a hundred officials who can control the government. But from the perspective of a foreign minister, why can't the court be revived? My Lord Sun Lang, when he raised his troops, he had no more than a thousand soldiers. Besides, the grain is less than a hundred stones, and there will be no more than three or four people."

"With this as capital, my lord, Sun Langqiang, started a business with a school lieutenant, split up a large county, and built a general school. The people of the brigade will occupy Jiangdong without dying. It is the imperial court, please be a foreign vassal."

"Your Majesty has princes and tributes as foreign aid, and ministers and officials and sages as help nearby. The available soldiers may not be less than [-], and the available food may not be less than [-] shi. Why can't the world be rejuvenated?"

These words surprised Liu Xie.

Sure enough, it is the words of foreign ministers, which are difficult to be elegant.It is completely different from the clichés of morality, ethics, and destiny that the imperial court and officials have always had.

But Liu Xie was greatly touched, and even inspired.

He has always considered himself intelligent, and he can be called a wise king.Never think that he is slightly worse than Sun Ce.

They are all at the age of weak crowns. If Sun Ce can occupy Jiangdong with more than a thousand soldiers and hundreds of stones of grain.

Then why can't I be like Gaozu, sweep away all the heroes in the world, and regain the great Han Dynasty?The strength, heritage, and more importantly, the destiny he possesses far exceeds that of Sun Ce.

Liu Xie did not scold Gao Cheng like a pedantic public official, but discussed with him very seriously: "Then Gao Qing thinks, the imperial court, no, where should I take care of the country?"

Gao Cheng immediately said: "Gaozu sent troops from Guanzhong, and ended the chaos of the world. Why don't your majesty follow Gaozu's plan now?"

Gao Cheng also gave the emperor some eye drops, and continued: "Nowadays, the world is in turmoil, and heroes and heroes are rising in crowds. At the top, there is Yuan Shao entrenched in Hebei, in the middle, Cao Cao threatens Yan and Yu, and at the bottom, there is Yuan Shu. Separated from Huai and Ru. If Your Majesty does not want to be controlled by Liu Biao, the only thing that can be rectified is Guanzhong. Qinchuan, which is eight hundred miles away, is a rich land, which is enough to support Your Majesty to regain the mountains and rivers."

In order to prevent the emperor from being held hostage by the princes of the Guandong, it is the best choice for the imperial court to have Guanzhong as the rear.

Liu Xie sighed deeply, and said: "Gao Qing doesn't know if he is not in Guanzhong. Because of the chaos of Li Jue and Guo Si, the people in Guanzhong ate each other, and the land was barren for thousands of miles. , but thousands of miles of uninhabited people."
