Chapter 159 Liu Xie loses his spirit! (2/5)
Emperor Xian of Han’s second opportunity was the garment and edict incident planned by Dong Cheng on the eve of the battle between Cao Cao and Yuan Shao.
At the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, Cao Cao welcomed Emperor Xian of Han to move the capital to Xuchang.
General Anji, Dong Cheng, who participated in the escort of Emperor Xian of Han, had a conflict with Cao Cao on the issue of regime distribution.
Dong Cheng later became the general of the chariot and cavalry, and was the father of the empress Dong Guiren. He was the confidant of Emperor Xian of Han, who also entrusted unparalleled trust in him.
In the fourth year of Jian'an, Dong Cheng claimed to have accepted the secret decree of Emperor Xian of Han's clothes and wanted to kill Cao Cao. He also conspired with Changshui's lieutenant Zong Ji, General Wu Zilan, Prince Fu, and Wu Shuo.
Liu Bei did not participate at first, but later Cao Cao made wine with him to discuss heroes. Liu Bei just conspired with Dong Cheng.
However, later Liu Bei knew that things were impossible, and he happened to encounter the opportunity to escape from the political whirlpool, so he fled Xu Du very much.
In the fifth year of Jian'an, Dong Cheng's conspiracy was exposed, and all his accomplices were rectified.
Of course, this robbery incident is actually filled with some historical fog.
Later generations have argued endlessly about whether there is a robbery. No one can explain clearly or understand it in later generations.
Although Cao Chong was a person from this era, he was not a witness to history. His understanding of that period was only known by others.
And how much truth the person who told this matter knows is another problem.
Liu Bei said that there was a ban on clothes and belts, so he naturally had the suspicion of seeking a positive moral image for himself.
However, since Emperor Xian of Han established his capital in Xu County, the court was actually under the control of Cao Cao, and Dong Cheng and Emperor Xian of Han were dissatisfied with it. If Emperor Xian of Han chose Dong Cheng, this would definitely be a wrong beginning.
Before Cao Cao could welcome Emperor Xian of Han, Dong Cheng, Yang Feng and Yang Ding defeated Guo Si and escorted Emperor Xian of Han to Huayin County, Hongnong County.
Yang Ding falsely accused Duan Wei, the general stationed here, of rebellion and led his troops to attack his camp, but he could not capture it for a long time, which led to Li and Guo Si coming to the excuse of rescue, and Dong Cheng and others fled.
If Dong Chengzhen was a person who did big things, he would either stop Yang Ding's actions, or would have eliminated Duan Wei with Yang Ding, and regard Nong County as the temporary position of Emperor Xian of Han.
But Dong Cheng did nothing and sat down to see the opportunity lost.
When Cao Cao was about to move the capital to Xuchang, Yang Feng took an opposing action, and Dong Cheng did nothing.
Emperor Xian of Han wanted to fight Cao Cao and Xun with his wits and use his weak to fight against the strong, and he was wrong from the beginning.
As an ally, Liu Bei was obviously a stopgap trick. The prince was convinced and was uneasy. The Changshui School Commander Zhong Ji and the Consort Wu Shuo were all Dong Cheng's confidants. They both suffered losses and prospered.
With these people's strength in Xuchang, even if Cao Cao was killed, he could not control the situation. He just didn't know who to make wedding clothes for. This is why Liu Bei was determined to escape. Dong Cheng himself was unsure of it. Over time, leaking secrets would be inevitable.
The robbery incident was the second opportunity of Emperor Xian of Han, but he was just like the first opportunity. Although he experienced it personally, he was no different from a passerby.
In later generations, Emperor Xian of Han had another chance, that is, when Cao Cao and Liu Bei were competing for Hanzhong, Emperor Xian of Han colluded with Prime Minister Sizhi Wei Huang, the imperial physician Ling Ji Ben, Shaofu Geng Ji, Jin and others to launch a rebellion, attacking the Prime Minister Changshi Wang Bi in Xudu at night, burning the gate, and shooting Wang Bi on the shoulder.
Unfortunately, he was finally pacified by Wang Bi and Yan Kuang, the General of the Diannong of Yingchuan.
After this incident, Boss Cao became completely annoyed.
There are strong enemies outside and disasters inside. Otherwise, when he was in Hanzhong and the southern expedition to Sun Wu, Cao Cao would not have given up the fruits of victory during military victory and returned to Xudu.
It’s not that Cao Cao didn’t understand how much benefits he could bring to him, he knew, and he knew better than anyone else.
For example, during the Battle of Hanzhong, Cao Cao could have swept across Yizhou by taking Hanzhong, but he did not do it.
It’s not that Boss Cao doesn’t want to do it, but that he is powerless.
Compared to Liu Bei's disaster, Emperor Xian of Han posed greater threat to Cao Cao.
Liu Bei gained power but was in opposition to Cao Cao. However, if Emperor Xian of Han gained power, Cao Cao would be doomed.
This is one of the reasons why Cao Cao withdraws his troops every time he wants to win military victory.
So later, in order to eliminate internal conflicts, Cao Cao killed all the confidants of Emperor Xian of Han. After that, the desperate Emperor Xian of Han gave up the idea of seizing power and became a puppet emperor.
....................................
At this time, Emperor Xian of Han was in a dim mood, with the sound of stepping on the muddy feet in his ears. What he could see with his confused eyes, besides the dim sky and the muddy ground, the cold raindrops touched his trembling lips.
Seeing the scene in front of him, Emperor Xian of Han closed his eyes dejectedly.
Just when Emperor Xian of Han was about to close his eyes, Emperor Xian of Han suddenly heard the voice of Chu Cao.
"Your Majesty, you're here, Wuling is ahead."
arrive!
Although Chu Cao's voice was not as good as the actors in the palace, when Emperor Xian of Han heard this sentence, it was like a person who had been traveling in the desert for a long time and saw the water source.
This is the most pleasant sound in the world.
Emperor Xian of Han suddenly opened his eyes and jumped off a soldier. He ran quickly towards Wuling City regardless of the mud under his feet.
Liu Xie swore that he would not want to endure the torture he suffered in the past few days.
................
In the hall of Wuling City, Liu Xie knelt on the main seat, and in the guest seat, there were four people kneeling on the left and right.
These four people are representatives of the four major clans in Jingzhou.
The representative of the Cai family is naturally Cai Mao. Behind him, Cai Zhong and Cai He stood a little tired.
The representative of the Huang family is Huang Chengyan. The Huang family in Nanyang inherited Huang Zilian. According to legend, he was a descendant of Zhuanxu. In Jingzhou, he was also a family with a stable foundation. There are many people who have famous historical books in the family, such as Huang Chengyan, Huang Zu, Huang Gai, Huang Zhong and Huang Hao, all of whom were the same clans of the Huang family in Nanyang.
At this time, the person fighting behind Huang Chengyan was Huang Quan.
The representative of the Kuai family is the somewhat old Kuai Yue. The Kuai family is one of the four major families in Jingzhou, second only to the current Cai family. Before that, the Kuai family was the largest family in Jingzhou.
The representative of the Pang family is Pang Shanmin, who is the eldest son of Pang Degong and Pang Tong's cousin. Behind him was a blue-robed scholar, who was his younger brother Pang Lin.
These are the four major families in Jingzhou. Of course, in addition to these four major families, there are also people with strong strength in the Xiang family, and there are also people in this list, but at the end.
At this time, Emperor Xian of Han had already changed his decoration. He was extremely handsome and majestic against the black imperial robe. However, the expression on his face was a little tired and his eyes were even more unsightly.
Cai Mao and Kuai Yue looked at each other, and Kuai Yue understood and immediately stood up with a smile. He took a step forward, bowed to Emperor Xian of Han Liu Xie, and said earnestly: "Your Majesty, although Xiangyang is trapped by the thieves, we still have four counties in Jingnan and the Wuling Jiangling of Xiakou. We despise Lejin before, and now we will not be taken advantage of. Your Majesty now does not need to be depressed. More than ten days have passed, and most of the benevolent and ambitious people in the world gather here. Otherwise, we will not be able to summon more than 100,000 people to join the army. This is all the achievements of Your Majesty's fame. Please don't be depressed."
Huh ~
Emperor Xian of Han gently exhaled a breath of turbid air. He glanced at Kuai Yue deeply, and finally nodded.
As for what he was thinking, no one knew.
There may be people of kindness and ambition in the world, but whether they can arrive in time is another matter.
Compared to a few days ago, Emperor Xian of Han had almost been wiped out, so he seemed a little absent-minded in such an important meeting now.
He is tired and scared.
The sharpness in his heart was almost wiped out.
It was indeed not that easy to revive the Han Dynasty.
