Chapter 228 An Empty Joy

Dong Zhuo retreated, the allied forces entered Luoyang, and there was no point in crossing the river and going down the river. There was a lot of discussion among the people, and they all wanted to return to Youzhou.

But Liu He said: "Dong Zhuo migrated to Luoyang with millions of people, carrying countless luggage, and walking must be slow. The princes chased him from Luoyang. Why don't we cross the river from east to intercept and save the emperor?"

Han Hao was taken aback, and asked, "Is this... feasible?"

Liu He was also not sure, and said: "I will do my best, but I will obey the destiny!"

Everyone was still discussing, when suddenly Heyang sent someone to report that Yuan Shao ordered Zhang Yang to be the prefect of Hanoi, and a new county magistrate was elected to take office.

Liu He sneered and said, "This must be because Brother Yuan Shao resented me and deliberately refused to send troops and food, and wanted to trap us here to death."

Zhang Fei said angrily, "If I hadn't waited to fight to the death, how could Yuan Shao have captured Hulao Pass? Why don't we go back to Wen County first, kill Zhang Yang, and see what Yuan Shao can do to me?"

Liu He shook his head and said, "Dong Zhuo retreats to Chang'an, the coalition forces will not last long, we have lost our way back from Jizhou, and taking Hanoi does not make much sense, it is better to go to the east of the river, to protect the east of the river and rescue the emperor, and to retreat to the Taihang Mountains to Bingzhou. "

Han Hao nodded and said: "General, this strategy is the safest. The existing Pingyinjin food and grass supply is enough to support the army for three months. If it can help Hedong to suppress the rebellion, the upper and lower sides of Hedong will definitely provide food and grass to help the general."

Liu He immediately made a decision and said: "Immediately, all the grain, grass, and luggage in Pingyin will be transported to Jiguan. General Xu will be assisted by Han Duwei to guard this place. Wait for our troops to enter Hedong and see if the situation turns around and merges with the state."

Xu Rong knew that Jiguan was a transit point for returning to Bingzhou, and it had a lot to do with the way of retreat. This was Liu He's greatest trust in him, so he immediately took orders.

After deploying the route, Liu He led his troops to leave Hanoi, entered Hedong County, stopped in Yuanqu, and sent a letter to Anyi to negotiate. At this time, only five counties in the south of Hedong were still safe, and all parts of the north were occupied by the Baibo army. .

Wang Yi, the governor of Hedong, was worried about the Baibo bandits. He was overjoyed when he heard that Liu He was leading the troops. He immediately sent Cao Weigu to Yuanqu to meet the army.

There are two great aristocratic families in Hedong. The Wei family is the most powerful and is the descendant of the famous general Wei Qing of the Han Dynasty. There is also the Pei family. These two families are representatives of the Hedong family. During the Wei and Jin Dynasties of the Three Kingdoms, many celebrities were born.

Wei Gu is the leader of the Wei family today, and Wang Yi sent him to meet Liu He, which shows his respect for Liu He and also represents the attitude of the gentry.

Liu He led the army to Anyi, and along the way, the flags were flying, and Wang Yi led officials of all sizes to meet him on the bank of Fenshui. Seeing such a battle, everyone was shocked.

The troops led by Liu He seemed to be more elite than Niu Fu's Xiliang Army a year ago, no wonder they were able to behead the Yellow Turban bandits and sweep away the Mobei Hu people.

When they arrived at the city, Liu He ordered people to station troops and horses outside the city, and only brought Guan Zhang into the city. Wang Yi had already ordered people to prepare wine, food, food and grass to reward the soldiers, and a banquet was also set up in the city.

Anyi is the governor of Hedong, and the city is relatively tall. Wang Yi is also a capable official. He came to Xiliang Army several times, and was threatened by Baibo Army, but the territory of Anyi is still in good order.

When all the people came to the mansion, Wang Yi invited Liu He to sit at the head, accompanied by several scribes, but there was one person Liu He knew very well, and it was the famous scholar Wei Ke.

This time Guan Yu can be regarded as returning to his hometown, and it can even be said that he has returned home in good clothes, but because of his background, it is difficult to reveal his identity, so the introduction was vague.

After exchanging pleasantries for a while, Wang Yi clasped his fists and asked, "The general is exhausted from a long distance, do you want to rest for two days before sending troops to hunt down the thieves?"

Liu He was startled, frowned and said: "This time I entered Hedong, I did not come here to hunt down thieves, but to intercept the holy car and rescue the emperor."

"What?" Wang Yi was startled, stunned for a moment before he asked, "General... Didn't you come here for the Baibo thief?"

Only then did Liu He understand why Wang Yi was so enthusiastic. It turned out that he regarded himself as a rescuer, and sighed: "Thieves Dong went against the law and moved the emperor's ministers. I want to cross the river from Puban and go down to intercept the Xiliang army. I will leave early tomorrow morning. "

"I see……"

Wang Yi sighed softly, and looked at several officials with disappointment and helplessness in his eyes.

After being busy for a long time, I originally thought that the savior had arrived, but I realized that my joy was in vain.

But rescuing the emperor was obviously more important than begging for thieves, and no one could persuade Liu He to help, so there was a sudden silence during the meeting.

Liu He also saw the expressions of the crowd and asked, "I heard that the Baibo bandits are gaining momentum. Dong Zhuo once sent Niu Fu to attack them, but they lost to the bandits. How is the situation now?"

Wang Yi shook his head and sighed: "Niu Fu led his troops to Hedong, but he only asked for money and food, but did not move his troops. After losing the battle at Jishan, the princes allied themselves, so he led his troops to Luoyang to defend. From then on, we have been waiting for him. Recruit soldiers to resist the bandit army, and now the bandit army is temporarily blocked in the north of Fenshui."

Liu He asked, "How strong is the bandit army?"

Wang Yi replied: "The leader of the Baibo thieves, Guo Tai, was originally from the Yellow Turban Army in Jizhou. After he fled to Hedong, he secretly instigated the people to revolt. In the past two years, there have been many responses. Now I am afraid that there are no less than 5 people."

"Mrs. Guo?" Liu He frowned slightly, suddenly thinking that Chu Yan's military advisor Guo Daxian who escaped in Yingtao might be this guy.

"Yes, this man is not only good at instigating, but also knows the art of war. Niu Fu was defeated by him!" Wang Yi continued: "Now the bandit army has Yang Feng, Han Xian, Li Le, and Hu Cai, who are extremely brave. , known as the Four King Kong!"

"Yang Feng?" When Liu He heard this name, his heart suddenly moved. Does this guy have Xu Huang under his command?

Wang Yi asked: "The general knows Yang Feng?"

Liu He shook his head and said, "I don't know each other, I just remembered the word yang feng yin vii."

Wang Yi was stunned. At this time, he really didn't want to joke with Liu He. He frowned and said, "The Baibo bandits are so powerful that they endanger the east of the river. The four King Kongs are scattered everywhere. If the captain Wu Qiuxing didn't know how to command the army, I'm afraid Anyi would have already No guarantee!"

Wu Qiuxing?

Liu He suddenly remembered that Guan Qiujian was also from Hedong, and Guan Qiuxing should be his father!

Xu Huang, a five-son good general of Zhou Yafu's style, is enough to tempt Liu He. In addition, Wu Qiujian, a famous general in the later period of Wei State, can't this work well?

Thinking of this, Liu He sneered: "In the past, there were eight Vajras in the Black Mountain Army, and even I defeated them. What are you afraid of, just the Four Vajras?"

"The generals are skilled and brave, and they know the art of war. Of course they are fearless, but we wait..."

Speaking of this, Wang Yi got up from the table, bowed and clasped his fists and said: "May the general think about the Han Dynasty and the people in Hedong, and send troops to fight against the thieves and save the lives of this side. We are extremely grateful."

Wei Ji and others also got up to intercede. To be honest, they are the aristocratic families who are most worried. Once the thieves invade Anyi, they will suffer the most.

Liu He touched his lips and hesitated for a while, then frowned and said: "Since the bandit army is now blocked north of Fenshui, I don't think they can threaten Anyi in a short time, I will go to Hongnong first, and then help the Lord Fu when I come back." It’s okay to beg for thieves, it’s just that the money and food are spent..."

Seeing that Liu He was moved, Wang Yi quickly said: "General, don't worry, we will provide all the military use, and we will take what you get from the thieves, but according to the distribution of the general, we don't want any money."
