Chapter 45 Sun Ce retreats
According to the "Book of Han - Records of Emperor Wen", Changmen Palace was the private garden of Changmen Garden of the Tao Changmen Princess Liu Piao in the Western Han Dynasty. The eldest princess Liu Piao had a face or male favorite named Dong Yan. In order to allow herself to live a happy and fulfilling life with Dong Yan, the eldest princess Liu Piao asked Dong Yan to give the Changmen Palace to Emperor Wu of Han, and Changmen Garden was changed to Changmen Palace as a garden for the emperor to worship, rest and play.
As for why Liu Bian's face changed drastically after hearing the Nagato Palace, he had to start with Chen Ajiao, the daughter of Princess Guantao.
Chen Ajiao and Emperor Wu of Han Liu Che were childhood sweethearts. Jinwu Zangjiao was talking about Chen Ajiao. But is the emperor? He is rich in all over the world. Throughout history, there are very few emperors who can be loyal to a relationship, let alone a legendary emperor like Emperor Wu of Han. His ambition is not only reflected in politics and power, but also in treating feelings quite domineering. According to legend, this Emperor Wu of Han was a man and a woman.
Chen Ajiao was spoiled since she was a child, and she married Emperor Wu of Han. The two had a honeymoon period. Emperor Wu of Han was obedient to Chen Ajiao at the beginning.
He was a daughter-in-law, and she looked so beautiful. With the various favors from Emperor Wu of Han at the beginning, she became arrogant because of her favor. But no matter how good she was, she would be like that after watching her for a long time. As an emperor and an ambitious emperor, over time, the freshness brought by her appearance was gone, and with her favored personality, she naturally became annoyed.
What's more, as an emperor, he is rich all over the world, and the most deficiencies are beauties. It is natural to fall in love with others in the future.
Chen Ajiao was favored for a long time, so she was naturally dissatisfied with Emperor Wu of Han betrayed this relationship, so she cried, made a fuss and hanged, which made Emperor Wu of Han very troubled. If he was an ordinary man, he would have to endure it. But who was Emperor Wu of Han? Looking at Chinese history, he was a great emperor, so he could not make such a thing worry about it. Therefore, Chen Ajiao jumped up and down and did not make Emperor Wu of Han change his mind, but instead lost his position as a queen, and sent him directly to Changmen Palace, making a blind eye.
Chen Ajiao was naturally unwilling to be abolished, but after this incident, she knew that it would be impossible for her to take back her position as queen by making trouble, so she changed her literary and artistic route and asked Sima Xiangru to write the famous "Changmen Fu" that has been around forever to save this relationship.
But men, especially men who do not lack women, will change their minds and want to return again, which will be very difficult. Although Chen Ajiao’s name is left in history, she never saw Emperor Wu of Han again in her life. Since Chen Ajiao, Changmen Palace has become synonymous with the cold palace.
"Your Majesty, please!" Seeing that Liu Bian was still moving, Cao Xing, who was standing beside him, stepped forward and reached out to lead him.
"You...you..." Liu Bian's pale face became extremely ugly. He knew very well that he was really going to be sent to the Changmen Palace, so what dignity does he have as an emperor?
He wanted to refuse, but Wang Shuang was already showing his eyes. Liu Bian gritted his teeth and said, "I want to see the Prime Minister."
At this time, Liu Bian could only place his hope on Ye Zhao. After all, no matter what, he was Ye Zhao's brother-in-law. Although Ye Zhao now has monopolized power and has some autocracy, he is actually very sensible towards him, and will not easily overstep it. Perhaps... if Ye Zhao was asked to deal with this matter, he would have some face.
"My father is fighting against rebellious officials for Your Majesty. How can I go back in Luoyang at this moment?" Ye Zheng looked at Liu Bian and said calmly: "And... there is no need to alarm my father. Now the world is at a critical moment. At this time, I will recall my father back to the court and miss the opportunity to fight for nothing. How can Your Majesty bear it?"
After saying that, Ye Zheng bowed and said, "Please move to Changmen Palace!"
"Please move your Majesty to Changmen Palace!" Behind Ye Zheng, a group of civil and military ministers and soldiers knelt down and said in unison to Liu Bian.
"Wait..." Liu Bian was so angry that he trembled all over, his eyes rolled, and he fainted.
"Criminal, this..." Cao Xing quickly reached out to support Liu Bian and looked at Liu Bian inquiring.
Ye Zheng said calmly: "Your Majesty is overworked and is in good health. I send Your Majesty and the Empress Dowager to the Changmen Palace to recuperate, and then make a conclusion when the Prime Minister returns to the court."
When everyone heard this, they did not dare to be negligent. They quickly bowed and sent Liu Bian to Changmen Palace with an imperial chariot. Then Queen Tang was not spared and was sent to Changmen Palace together. Of course, they could not help but scold and beg for this. However, Ye Zheng was not Ye Zhao. Some things were done by Ye Zhao, but Ye Zheng could not do.
Although the emperor was sent to Changmen Palace to "cultivate", the government did not suffer much influence. Although many officials were dismissed from office in anger, the operation of the court was not very different from the stay or departure of these people. Politics, economy and military have always been in the prime minister's mansion.
"Criminal, this matter is of great importance. Do you inform the Prime Minister?" After sending Liu Bian to Changmen Palace, Guo Huai looked at Ye Zheng with some concern.
"This battle is about the fate of the country. Don't let my father be distracted. Just allocate the supply of food and grass." Ye Zheng thought for a while and shook his head. In fact, he was not sure if Ye Zhao sent him back. But now that the matter has been done, there is no way to go. He cannot turn around. Even if Ye Zhao comes back, he will not be able to turn back. It is better to let this matter delay first. After Ye Zhao comes back, Liu Bian's WeChat will be almost lost.
"Here!" Guo Huai bowed and stopped talking.
...
Ye Zhao didn't care much about what happened in Guan Yu Chang'an. After the autumn harvest, the weather began to turn cold. Ye Zhao kept Zhao Yun to guard Luoyang, Guan Ping to guard Hangu Pass, and at the same time transferred Hanzhong Prefect Zhang Ren to Runan as a general, in charge of Runan's military. Ye Zhao himself personally led 30,000 troops from Guan Yu to station troops in Xinye, leaving Yique Pass and stationed in Wancheng, and seemed to be preparing to attack Jingzhou.
Although Cao Cao was sure that Ye Zhao's actions would definitely be arguing with the world, he was a little confused when he saw Ye Zhao's attitude. After all, in the current situation, even if Ye Zhao lost a battle, he still had the ability to turn the tables. If Cao Cao lost another battle, the only remaining territory would probably have to change hands. Sun Ce's disadvantage of capturing Qingxu was also highlighted at this moment. Cao Cao lost the space of strategic depth and could no longer afford to lose.
Sun Ce in the east was recruiting troops in full swing. At the same time, in Gaotang and Zhuo County, he relied on the advantages of the navy to carry out several attacks. Ding Li and Fang Yue also sent ships to fight. Unfortunately, compared with the children of Jiangdong, the troops under Ye Zhao's command were quite different in water battles. There was more losses than wins. After encountering Sun Ce's provocation, both chose to avoid fighting and guard the water camp. Although Sun Ce's navy was powerful, there was no way to face such turtle defense. The two sides had a stalemate in the lower reaches of the Yellow River for two months. After November, the river finally began to freeze. Although the ice surface was still thin, it greatly affected the movement of the Jiangdong navy.
Moreover, the cold winter in the north is different from that in the south. Many Jiangdong naval forces have frostbite and cannot even hold their weapons. Sun Ce can only choose to temporarily repair them. At this time, Zhou Yu gradually realized that something was wrong. The Han army has been unable to hold on for the past two months. I am afraid that the children of Jiangdong will not be able to adapt to this kind of weather when the winter comes. However, for Ye Zhao's army, the problem is not big, after all, they are used to it.
"Bo Fu, it seems that Ye Zhao must be waiting for this moment. When the river is frozen, it is probably the day when Ye Zhao sends troops. My Jiangdong soldiers are no longer able to fight again. The newly recruited soldiers may be difficult to compete with the elite soldiers of Ye Zhao." Zhou Yu found Sun Ce and said what he was worried about.
Upon hearing this, Sun Ce nodded silently. Although he was known as the little overlord, he was actually not the kind of brave but unscrupulous man. He was also proficient in military tactics and knew the times. He looked at Zhou Yu and said, "Was Gongjin saying, withdraw the army?"
Zhou Yu nodded. Although it was a pity to give up the Yellow River, nowadays, he can only exchange space for time. Moreover, most of the people in Qingzhou were moved away by Cao Cao. The value was not very high. It would be better to take the initiative to retreat. First, they could free up more time to train troops. Second, the climate in the Jianghuai land was not as cold as here. Third, it would be better to lead Ye Zhao's troops and horses to attack Cao Cao.
"Just as Gongjin said, retreating, but Ye Zhao couldn't take advantage of it. Taking advantage of the fact that the river has not been frozen, he moved all the people in Qingzhou to Xuzhou!" Sun Ce said decisively.
Originally, Qingzhou was moved by Cao Cao, and its population had withered. This time, Sun Ce moved again. No matter who occupied Qingzhou in the future, how to restore the population will be a big problem.
