Twenty-three princes to challenge horse leap

March of the fourth year of Jian'an (191) of Emperor Xian of Han.

In order to avenge Guo Tu and Gao Shun, Ma Yue led an army of 20,000 to force the land on the Hangu Pass General Zhao Cen, and then suddenly appeared under Luoyang City and successfully forced Liu Bei to death in Deyang Palace. However, Ma Yue did not expect that the crazy Liu Bei backfired before his death and even put him on a fierce manner at the cost of his life.

An unprecedented warlord melee began.

Luoyang, Red Building.

With the decline of the imperial family and the decline of Luoyang, the officials and experts in the capital have lost their wealth and wealth in the past. The Red Building, which was once full of lights and wine, and singing every night, is now almost an empty building. Most of the singers who sell laughter on the building die due to continuous military disasters, and most of the rest have gone far away to find another way out.

Ma Yue was wearing a blue shirt and carrying his hands on his back, standing lonely in front of the main entrance.

Jia Xu had a heavy expression and said to Ma Yue: "Lord, Liu Bei's move is really cruel. The civil and military officials and nobles in Luoyang City were almost slaughtered by him!"

Ma Yue asked lightly: "Is there anyone else to breathe?"

Jia Xu sighed: "Only one magistrate escaped the massacre because of blood loss."

"What's your name? What's your position?"

"The surname is Cai and his name is Yong, and his name is Bo Yi. He is a minister of the position of the chief minister."

"Cai Yong?" Ma Yue shook his head and sighed, "How can a little servant know where the emperor has gone?"

"It is important to find the whereabouts of the emperor, but..." Jia Xu said this and then said worriedly, "But the more important thing now is to clarify the truth of the Luoyang bloody case. We must try to let the princes in the world know that the person who slaughtered the court officials and concubines in the harem was Liu Bei, not the lord."

Ma Yue shook his head, a three-point coldness appeared between his eyebrows, and he said calmly: "There is no need to bother with this."

Jia Xu's expression was suffocated, and then Haoran sighed and stopped talking. Of course, Jia Xu knew what Ma Yue meant. At this time, it was completely unnecessary to explain to the princes in the world. Even if the princes in the world knew that the bloody case in Luoyang was not done by Ma Yue, they would definitely put the charges on him.

There is nothing else, just because Luoyang’s strategic position is really important!

If the horse butcher can gain a foothold in Luoyang, then the horse butcher can back to Guan, Liang and Hetao, and take the tiger and wolf cavalry from east to Yan, Yu, Ji, and other states, and can attack Jingzhou from west and north, which can attack or defend, and have an absolute strategic advantage, and the general trend of the world will be established!

Therefore, in order to prevent Ma Yue from dominating the dominance of his family, the princes of the world will inevitably spare no effort to attack.

Ma Yue took a long breath and said to Jia Xu: "Send more people and you must find the emperor back."

Although Ma Yue is a modern person, he also knows the importance of using the emperor to command the princes. In official history, Cao Cao finally unified the vast area north of the Yangtze River by relying on the emperor's righteousness. However, Liu Bei and Sun Quan lack the strategic commanding heights of the emperor's righteousness, and ultimately could only stay in a corner.

Jia Xu nodded and took the order and left.

"Zheng Zheng Zheng..."

As Jia Xu had just left, a melodious and pleasant sound of the piano suddenly came from the corner of the street.

A trace of surprise flashed through Ma Yue's eyes. The whole of Luoyang was in chaos. The people in the city were immersed in bloody panic. Someone was still interested in playing the piano? Suddenly, an old woman with staggering steps appeared on the street and walked straight towards Ma Yue. Dian Wei's face darkened, and the halberd blocked Ma Yue.

The old woman stopped, looked at Ma Yue with her dizzy eyes, and asked in a hoarse voice: "Is General Pingxi General?"

Ma Yue's heart moved and nodded, "It's this general."

"That's it." The old woman grinned and said, "My lady is invited to the general."

Ma Yue was almost certain that the lady the old woman was talking about must be Diao Chan, but he still asked: "Is your lady Diao Chan?"

The old woman who was turning around and walking back stopped hearing the sound and turned around and said, "My lady's surname is Ren, not Diao."

Ma Yue, who was eager to find Diao Chan to ask Emperor Xian of Han, was overjoyed when he heard this, turned around and said to Dian Wei: "Dian Wei, let's go."

Puyang, Yanzhou, Cao Cao's official residence.

Cao Cao was discussing with Guo Jia, Cheng Yu and others to raise an army to help the king, and when he issued another edict to call on the princes of the world to raise an army, his clan brother Xiahou Dun suddenly rushed into the side hall with a burst of fire and shouted at Cao Cao with joy: "Meng De, very happy!"

"Oh?" Cao Cao looked up in surprise and said, "Yuan Rang, why are you happy?"

Xiahou Dun gasped and said, "Guan Yu, the second brother of the Sili Captain Liu Bei, came to join him, protecting the emperor, and now he has passed Jiyin and will arrive in Puyang soon."

"Son of Heaven! Guan Yu?" As calm as Cao Cao, he couldn't help but stand up suddenly when he heard this news and asked quickly, "Are you serious about this?"

Xiahou Dun gasped and said, "This is still fake."

"Hahaha..." Cao Cao smiled to the sky and said, "It's God who really helps me."

Xun Yu smiled and said, "Congratulations to the lord for adding another powerful general."

Guo Jia also said: "I like the lord to support the emperor and he can command the world from now on."

"Well." Cao Cao stroked his chin and saw the dense willow beards. His eyes flashed brightly and he said loudly, "You can go to the thirty-li pavilion south of the city as soon as possible to welcome the emperor."

Xun Yu, Guo Jia and others said in unison: "I dare not obey orders."

Thirty-li Pavilion in the south of Puyang City.

Cao Cao, the governor of Yanzhou, was in front of him, and was not in charge of Cheng Yu, engaged in Guo Jia, Xun Yu, Xun You, Liu Ye, Man Chong, Jia Kui, Xiahou Dun, Xiahou Yuan, Cao Ren, Cao Hong, Cao Chun, Li Dian, Yu Jin, Zangba and others. Behind him, there was a dark and powerful force in the Cao army. Thousands of people knelt down and were respectfully welcoming the arrival of the emperor.

In the dust, a man and a horse arrived in a carriage. The first general was in a green robe and green robe, holding a green dragon and a moon sword in his hand. It was Guan Yu.

Cao Cao hurriedly walked several steps, grabbed the carriage and sang loudly: "The governor of Yanzhou, General Pingdong, and Marquis of Aoxiang, Cao Cao led officials from all over the state to welcome the emperor's emperor."

Guan Yu hurriedly turned over and got off the horse and stood on the side of the road.

At the side where the curtain was lifted, Emperor Xian of Han, who was only eleven years old, poked his head out and said to Cao Cao generously: "Cao Aiqing, everyone, general."

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

Cao Cao stood up and led his civil servants and generals to welcome Emperor Xian and Guan Yu into Puyang without mentioning it.

Luoyang, ordinary houses.

Ma Yue signaled Dian Wei to guard the door outside and then enter alone. Bypassing the screen, there was a small courtyard in front of him. The yard was full of flowers and plants, but most of them were yellow. There were also a small pond in the yard. There were a few old and old lotus in the pond standing alone on the water surface, just like the dilapidated and depressed Luoyang City outside the yard.

"Zheng Zheng Zheng..."

The sound of the Qingyue piano became clearer and clearer, which came from the wing room.

"Squeak...ga."

The closed door suddenly opened.

As Ma Yue looked at him, a graceful figure sat on the back of the door, playing the piano by the window. The courtyard outside the window was deep, the grass was withered and yellow. The originally light and smooth sound of the piano suddenly became low and solemn, just like the people in the entire Luoyang city were moaning in pain, which made people cry.

"Enough!"

Ma Yue's brows frowned in an instant. He couldn't understand the rhythm, and he didn't like this sound full of admonition.

"Zhen..."

The sound of the piano is broken according to the sound, but the lingering sound of the owl is endless.

The slim figure stood up slowly, then turned to face Ma Yue and smiled sweetly, and said softly: "General, the little girl has finally waited for the day you entered Luoyang."

Ma Yue was in a moment of loss of consciousness. An ancient poem came to his mind, who never liked poetry: This woman should only be found in the sky, and she should be a fairy exiled to the mortal world.

In addition to his beautiful eyes, which were clearly distinguished from black and white, and his graceful body, which could match Diao Chan in Ma Yue's memory, his appearance was very different, especially the delicate faces of the two. Diao Chan had a large green birthmark on her face, while this woman's pink face was as white as jade, as smooth as fat, like a freshly peeled lychee, so tender that she could pinch it out of water.

Ma Yue quickly regained his calmness and asked in a deep voice: "Are you really Diao Chan?"

Diao Chan smiled slightly again and asked without answering, "Does the general feel like he doesn't like him?"

"Stop talking nonsense!" Ma Yue's eyes were cold, and he had no reaction to Diao Chan's clever smile. He walked to the house and sat down with a golden sword. Then he stared at Diao Chan's bulging breasts like a wolf. He looked so hard that he could see through the thin Luoshan clearly. While experiencing the spring scenery, he asked, "Where did Liu Bei get the emperor before he died?"

Diao Chan subconsciously covered her clothes and responded with a crisp voice: "I have been robbed by Guan Yu to Xuzhou."

"Xuzhou?" Ma Yue frowned for a moment and asked in a deep voice, "How long ago was that?"

Diao Chan said: "It's been more than ten days."

Ma Yuehaoran sighed and said annoyedly: "It seems that he can't catch it anymore."

Diao Chan said with regret: "The little woman has limited abilities and is really sorry that she was unable to keep the emperor for the general."

"Forget it." Ma Yue waved his hand and sighed, "How can you blame me? Besides, I was able to successfully trap Liu Bei in Luoyang City this time, thanks to your people who provided false information to Liu Bei. To be honest, this general was able to kill Liu Bei and avenge his subordinates. You are the biggest contributor. Tell me, what reward do you want?"

Diao Chan said: "The little girl has nothing to ask for, I just hope that the general can remember the agreement on the banks of Yingshui River."

Ma Yue said: "I naturally remember it, but it's too early to say this now?"

Diao Chan said, "This little woman understands."

"Okay, this love is what I owe you." Ma Yue said this, with a burning feeling in his eyes. He asked, "The Red Building is empty. It is too dangerous for you, a girl, to stay in Luoyang City. In the future, stay with me and collect and analyze the information. If you spy on the news, you can let your sisters in your hometown do it."

A faint blush flashed across Diao Chan's face, and her head lowered and replied softly: "Yes."

Puyang, Yanzhou.

Not long after the Emperor Xian of Han arrived, Cao Jun lurking in Luoyang also sent the latest news about Luoyang back to Puyang.

In the secret room, Cao Cao, Guo Jia, Xun Yu, Xun You, Man Chong, Jia Kui, Liu Ye and others sat on the ground. Cheng Yu, who was responsible for intelligence spy, held a bamboo slip and said, "... When the forbidden palace was broken, the Sili school captain Liu Bei was killed in battle, all civil and military officials were slaughtered, and all the nobles in the capital were also killed and injured. In Luoyang City, corpses were buried everywhere, blood flowed, and one of the creatures was left behind."

Cheng Yu finished speaking and the secret room was silent.

Whether it was Cao Cao, Guo Jia, Xun Yu, Xun You, everyone looked unbelievable! All the officials in the court and the nobles in the capital were slaughtered! This was definitely a suicide act that was a ruthless act for the world at that time. The mistake was not a madman. Who would have done this?

Is Ma Yue a madman? Of course not.

After a long time, Cao Cao breathed a long sigh and said in a calm voice: "Crazy, what a madman!"

Liu Ye said: "Did the lord mean horse butcher?"

"No." Guo Jia shook his head and said, "My lord is talking about Liu Bei."

Liu Ye said in shock: "The meaning of filial piety is that the person who slaughtered all officials in the court and nobles in the capital was Liu Bei, not the butcher of the horse? The Sili School Captain Liu Bei was always famous all over the world for his benevolence and righteousness. Is this possible?"

"Benevolence and righteousness?" Cao Cao said in a dark voice, "That's called hypocrisy! Liu Bei's ambition is great. But unfortunately, this person's fortune is really not very good. He finally became the Sili Captain, but unfortunately he got involved in the Northwest Wolf. This is his life."

"But..." Guo Jia took over the conversation and said, "This is a great opportunity for the lord."

"Oh?" Cao Cao's two small eyes narrowed and looked at Guo Jia with a smile and said, "Why did Fengxiao say this?"

Guo Jia stood up long and walked to the military topographic map hanging on the wall. He pointed to Yanzhou and said, "Although the population of Yanzhou is large, the area is narrow. There is Xiaopei Lubu in the east, Jizhou Yuanshao in the north, Yangzhou Yuanshu in the south, the wolf horse butcher in the north, Zhang Ji, Kong Rong, Liu Biao, and Sun Jian spy on it. It can be said to be a place of four battles, which is very dangerous."

Xun Yu, Liu Ye and others nodded repeatedly when they saw the princes in the world. The surrounding situation faced by Cao Cao, the governor of Yanzhou, was the most sinister. For Cao Cao, there was no strategic behind the rule, and he could be attacked by hostile forces in any direction.

Guo Jia continued: "If the lord does not try to change this passive situation, he will likely eventually be defeated under the endless harassment of the surrounding hostile forces."
To be continued...
