Chapter 500 Lujiang City Breaks

The same old saying: God is about to give a great responsibility to this person, he must first suffer his mind and mind, exhaust his muscles and bones, starve his body, and lose his body. He will do what he does. Therefore, he will be moved and endure his nature and will be able to do what he cannot do.

Chong'er died and even encountered the desperate situation of Jie Zitui cutting his flesh to feed him. As a result, Chong'er finally came step by step, and this was why Duke Wen of Jin who was famous for his eternal years! Now, Emperor Xian of Han, after great hardships, finally escaped from the hands of evil thieves such as Li Jue and Guo Si. He had experienced the Dong Zhuo Rebellion before, and the suffering he suffered was definitely not worse than that of Chong'er. I think it will inevitably be a bright and smooth road in the future. The Han Dynasty's responsibility to revive again is probably going to fall on Emperor Xian of Han!

Sure enough, the heavens follow people's wishes. Zhang Yang, the prefect of Hanoi, was the first to send troops to arrive with geographical benefits, and used grain and rice to save Emperor Xian and his party from water and fire. Due to Zhang Yang's obstacles, Li Jue and Guo Si did not dare to advance for a moment. From then on, Emperor Xian finally returned to his former old capital Luoyang safely!

At this moment, Emperor Xian probably thought that the moment that could make him show his strength was finally here!

Due to the slow transmission of information in this era, although Cao Cao had already received the news when Li Jue and Guo Si were fighting each other at the beginning, Emperor Xian was held hostage and Cao Cao could not act rashly. If Emperor Xian did not run out by himself, it would be useless if Cao Cao went there. At that time, Emperor Xian would not be able to grab Emperor Xian, or Emperor Xian died, then what emperor would Cao Cao still serve as the emperor?

Moreover, Cao Cao also hoped that Li Jue and Guo Si would fight for a while to reduce their respective troops. This was also to avoid the huge losses caused by direct head-on battles. In addition, the more Emperor Xian was in a difficult situation, the greater the contribution Cao Cao would have to go to rescue.

It is better to help in time than to add icing on the cake. Although the decision to welcome Emperor Fengxian was already made early in the morning. But it was not until Cao Cao should take action. It was not until the exact news that Emperor Xian took advantage of Zhang Ji's opportunity to reconcile and escaped from Chang'an that Cao Cao finally started the action.

Just when the news reached Yanzhou, Cao Cao sent troops to rescue Emperor Xian. During this round and round, Emperor Xian and his party had already escaped to Luoyang without any danger.

Of course, compared with other princes, except for the Hanoi prefect Zhang Yang who was just going to fight Qiufeng, Cao Cao's reaction speed was definitely the fastest, and there was no decision in other places. Before he even received Emperor Xian's letter of help, Cao Cao had already sent troops to the Supreme Record of the Demon Emperor!

However, Cao Cao sent troops and rushed to rescue Emperor Xian. The ones he brought with him were Xun Yu and Xun You who had worked in the palace, or were on duty, and Guo Jia, naturally, stayed to guard the palace, but he had not yet gone to build the palace. Once he came, the place had not been completely decided, after all, the emperor would still nod. If Emperor Xian disagreed, wouldn't it be a waste of money if you repair it in advance? At least at the beginning, Cao Cao would not dare to go against Emperor Xian's intentions directly. In that case, wouldn't it be a direct turn against Emperor Xian, and Emperor Xian thinks that Cao Cao is a person like Dong Zhuo!

Second, I didn’t want other princes to see Cao Cao’s intentions in advance. Just like Zhang Yang was just going to help with the rescue before, who would have thought that Cao Cao was planning to welcome Emperor Fengxian, not just rescue him!

Once the palace is built in advance, it will inevitably arouse the alertness of other princes, and may cause some unnecessary trouble. This is how people are. Under normal circumstances, they don’t want it, but once they find someone robbed it, they will suddenly become caring. Yuan Shao regretted that he did not welcome Emperor Fengxian. Was he really regretted his mistake in the initial decision-making? Actually, that’s not the case. Since Yuan Shao had hesitated before, he showed that he had carefully analyzed the benefits of embracing Emperor Fengxian, but Yuan Shao finally decided not to welcome Emperor Fengxian.

Then why did he regret it? Obviously, Yuan Shao saw that Cao Cao had completely taken the treasure, and he would subconsciously feel that Emperor Xian seemed to have more benefits than he had imagined. Otherwise, how could Cao Cao be so smart, look like he was afraid of being snatched away by others? Under this psychological induction, Yuan Shao naturally regretted it. He did not seriously think about the essential difference between himself and Cao Cao now.

In short, Guo Jia is still in Juancheng and has no action. Of course, all preparations for building a palace, including materials and personnel, have been prepared in advance, but these people do not know what they are going to build. Or to be precise, they also know that the palace is going to be built, but they do not know that the palace is to be built for the emperor to live in, and they think that it is to be built for Cao Cao. Once they get the exact news from Cao Cao, Guo Jia will take action immediately!

On the other side, Yangzhou and Lujiang were finally broken.

The prefect Lu Kang, at the age of seventy, has been staying at the city, or his labor during this period has squandered his last life, or his disheartenedness after the city was broken. Shortly after the city was broken, Lu Kang died of illness. His tough life as strong as a hero finally ended in a tragic way.

This year, Lu Kang died; this year, Huangfu Song died; this year, Zhang Miao died; this year, Xu Shao died.

With the passing of a group of people of the times, it seems that many years have passed in a trance, and the times are changing. The Eastern Han Dynasty seems to have come to an end.

As for the descendant Lu Xun and others who were originally dependent on Lu Kang, before the city was broken, Lu Kang had already sent all these tribesmen back to his hometown Wujun to avoid the war, leaving Lu Kang alone to continue to stay in Lujiang to defend the city, vowing to survive and die with Lujiang. Therefore, Lu Xun and others survived.

The battle of Lujiang is destined to be a tragedy, not only for Lu Kang, who was defending the city, but also for Sun Ce who was attacking the city. Even though Sun Ce had shown weakness in every way, after the city was broken, the position of Lujiang prefect that Yuan Shu had promised before was still not handed over to Sun Ce.

Instead, Yuan Shu handed over Lujiang to his old subordinate Liu Xun. Of course, Yuan Shu did not forget Sun Ce's contribution, and Sun Ce was naturally promoted and made a fortune. He just did not let him guard the area and had no chance of free development. Yuan Shu continued to keep Sun Ce by his side, and even cited Guo Jia's example.

Yuan Shu said that he attached great importance to Sun Ce and was very optimistic about Sun Ce. Look at Guo Jia from Cao Cao, that is the real favorite minister, and the favorite minister should stay with the lord! Moreover, you are still young, have a long road, and have many opportunities. Even if you want to go out for training, there are still opportunities in the future. The more territory you have, the more empty positions you have. Also, Liu Xun is already an old guy. After so many years, you have worked hard without credit. Anyway, you won’t be able to work for a few years, and you will be too old to retreat. What’s the matter if you wait too much?!
