The revival of the Han Dynasty must start with Dong Zhuo

Chapter 493 Volume Stealing the House
Cao Cao caught up with Liu Bei and held him tightly: "Why are you in such a hurry?"

“No rush!”

"Liu Xuande!"

Liu Bei rushed into the city and after learning that Gongsun Du had escaped, he sighed and told Cao Cao that the emperor would establish states and enfeoff princes in the future.

"No, you're telling me now?"

Cao Cao glared at Liu Bei.

What happened to the agreement that we would serve as ministers in the same palace and jointly support the Han Dynasty?
"hey-hey."

Liu Bei smiled embarrassedly.

Isn't this just putting things in perspective?

"It's a pity that Gongsun Du was not captured. Judging from the direction he was heading, he should be heading towards Buyeo..."

When Liu Bei said this, he suddenly remembered something and laughed again.

"why are you laughing?"

"I have already asked Guo Rang to lead the cavalry of the three tribes to the north, intending to encircle Liaodong."

"There has been no news for so many days. Maybe they just surrounded us from the north and ran into Gongsun Du!"

"..."

Cao Cao looked at Liu Bei helplessly: "Why are you always so optimistic? There is no news now, and it is raining heavily in Liaodong. Tian Yu may have withdrawn his troops long ago!"

Liu Bei patted Cao Cao on the back and said, "Meng De! Why are you so pessimistic since you surrendered to the emperor?"

"It's all over, let's count the famous people, let's look at the present!"

"The emperor's poem is printed on a huge stone at the gate of Longcheng. Every time I read it, I always feel excited and emotional!"

"Now that Meng De has come to his senses, he should show his former courage, shouldn't he?"

……

All going forward, count the romantic figures, but also look at the present.

Cao Cao was slightly stunned, and also thought of the poem written by the emperor in the past.

But Cao Cao's favorite is not this sentence...

"Silver snakes dance in the mountains, wax elephants ride in the mountains, and they want to compete with God!"

What Cao Cao liked most was the first sentence.

The vast mountains rise from the ground!

The spine is the blade and the peak is the thorn!
I want to compete with God!
Cao Cao originally thought that the poems he wrote about objects were lofty enough in their intentions.

But compared with this poem, it is undoubtedly too petty.

Because ordinary people’s vision is still the earth and the mountains, but the emperor wants to fight against the sky...

Since Cao Cao surrendered to the emperor, he has always been cautious... It's not his nature, but he really has to pay attention to these things so as not to attract the attention of others to his status as a surrendered general.

But today it seems that Liu Bei did not look down on him because of this incident.

And the Son of Heaven...

Cao Cao also laughed at himself.

How could an emperor who could compose such a poem care about these things?

Besides, if the emperor really cared, he would not have allowed him to lead the army to attack Liaodong...

At that moment, the shackles around his body were suddenly loosened.

"I'm worrying too much."

The so-called cautious words and deeds, the so-called relationship between the monarch and his subjects that has been passed down for hundreds of years, are completely unnecessary in front of the current emperor.

The emperor can even say something like "establishing states and nations", so are you still afraid that he will care about other things?
Cao Cao, who had always been suspicious of the emperor, suddenly felt inexplicably relieved at this moment.

"Xuan De, I advise you to send someone to chase as soon as possible."

"It is too naive to expect the cavalry of the three tribes in the north to outflank us. I advise you not to place your hopes on them."

Liu Bei nodded as if he understood, then looked around.

"Zilong, where is Kong Ming?"

"General Xu Rong dragged me to look for coal mines."

"So urgent?"

"..."

But it is true that winter comes early in Liaodong. If the coal is not mined quickly, the people of Liaodong may not be able to use the mined coal this year.

Liu Bei had no choice but to call Huang Zhong and said, "I hope Han Sheng will go and chase Gongsun Du. Make sure he can't hide in the mountains and forests and continue to cause trouble on the border!"

"Here!"

When Huang Zhong heard Liu Bei's words, his eyes suddenly lit up!
In terms of seniority, Huang Zhong is far inferior to Guan Yu, Zhang Fei and Zhao Yun.

Therefore, Huang Zhong never even dreamed of becoming a pillar of the country.

But now Liu Bei gave the task of pursuing Gongsun Du to Huang Zhong, and Huang Zhong was immediately excited!

What if?
If he could really catch up with Gongsun Du, wouldn't it be easy to capture a mere pillar of the country?
Huang Zhong immediately saluted excitedly, and then couldn't wait to chase to the north!

……

Xianbei Mountain.

Tian Yu, who was supposed to cooperate with Liu Bei and reach the northern part of Liaodong, stayed here and roasted a fire in a cave.

Tian Yu was originally walking along a mountain path, but suddenly it started to rain heavily, flooding the road and making it impossible to tell the direction... Fortunately, the Xianbei guide who was following him led the way, and he was able to get out of the mountains where there was no road.

The reason why the other party knew the road was because this place was not far from the Xianbei Mountain, the origin of the Xianbei tribe, so they were able to arrive safely.

"puff!"

Tian Yu spat on the ground.

"We have definitely missed the deadline now. We can only head south quickly to reunite with the emperor's uncle and the others, but..." Tian Yu knew how terrible the rainstorm in Liaodong was.

The prerequisite for going south is that Liu Bei has now captured Xiangping City, so that the two sides can successfully join forces.

If Liu Bei had not captured Xiangping City, and Gongsun Du was still occupying Xiangping City, then Tian Yu would have walked into a trap!
"Chief Secretary, not far to the south is the capital of Buyeo."

The Xianbei guide beside Tian Yu gave instructions in Chinese.

He was dressed in Han Chinese clothing and had a crested crown on his head, and was obviously a bannerman noble among the Xianbei people.

"Since we are already here, why not go to Buyeo Royal City and get some information?"

"If the emperor's uncle has already captured Xiangping, then we have not achieved anything. If the emperor's uncle has not captured Xiangping, how about we just plunder it and then retreat?"

Xianbei and Buyeo are old friends.

However, later on, the Xianbei gradually migrated from the northeast, became wealthy, and gradually became the overlord of the grassland, and thus had less contact with this poor neighbor.

Now that it has happened again, how can I not give it a warning?

Who made Fuyu stand on the opposite side of the Han Dynasty and become the enemy of Tian Chanyu? Isn't this seeking death?
After thinking for a moment, Tian Yu felt that what the other party said made sense.

It was no secret that Gongsun Du had once married his daughter to Wei Choutai, the king of Buyeo, so Buyeo was also considered an enemy.

Since he is an enemy, Tian Yu naturally has nothing to worry about.

However, just when Tian Yu was about to lead his troops away, the Xianbei guide looked at Tian Yu eagerly, as if he had an unreasonable request.

"Lv Wu, you and I have been brothers through thick and thin together for a long time. Is there anything we cannot talk about?"

Nowadays, all the bannermen among the Xiongnu, Xianbei and Wuhuan tribes have changed their names to Chinese ones.

Because of the grassland tribes' nature of admiring the strong, they, like the Qiang people of that time, mostly use the surnames of Han army pillars such as Lu Bu, Zhang Liao, and Zhao Yun as their own surnames.

Among them, the surname Lu is naturally far ahead...

In addition, the people of the three banner tribes nowadays are proud of their dress and customs being similar to those of the Han people. Tian Yu really does not regard these people as barbarians and treats them all equally, so he lets the other party speak frankly.

Lu Wu laughed twice and said, "Chief Secretary, you said that we have finally come to the Holy Mountain, so why shouldn't we offer sacrifices once?"

"I hope that Changshi can offer sacrifices to the heavens on Xianbei Mountain on behalf of Tian Chanyu!"

When Huo Qubing conquered Langjuxu, it was a humiliation for the Xiongnu.

But now, hundreds of years later, Lü Bu's offering sacrifices to the heavens in Langjuxu has become an honor for the Xiongnu...

Although the Xiongnu, Xianbei, and Wuhuan appeared to be friendly on the surface, they were always secretly competing with each other over some strange things.

Since we have offered sacrifices to the Xiongnu’s Langjuxu Mountain, why can’t we offer sacrifices to the Xianbei Mountain of the Xianbei?

Tian Yu: ...

Offering sacrifices to the heavens on behalf of the emperor...

This job is not something that ordinary people can do.

If it is not handled properly, I am afraid I will be impeached by court officials.

But seeing the expectation in Lu Wu's eyes, and considering the relationship between the two tribes, Tian Yu couldn't bear to refuse.

"In this case, I will offer sacrifices to the heavens here on behalf of the emperor!"

After preparing the altar and three animals and finding a piece of rock to carve the sacrificial text on it, Tian Yu led the Xianbei people in solemnly offering sacrifices to the heavens here, causing the Xianbei soldiers in the army to burst into tears of gratitude!

The only thing that bothered Tian Yu was that Wuhuan soldiers came over that night and asked Tian Yu to go to Wuhuan Mountain as well...

"Next time definitely!"

The most urgent task now is to find supplies as soon as possible and then find out about the war in the south!

Moreover, the temperature in the northern forests dropped very quickly, and Tian Yu was worried that he would be trapped in it and get into trouble!
Fortunately, Lu Wu is reliable after all.

After walking along some roads that could not be considered roads at all, an ancient city suddenly appeared in front of Tian Yu.

Xidu.

The royal city of Buyeo.

This place has a long history, which can even be traced back to the Sushen tribe during the Xia Dynasty.

At that time, after Sushen resisted a foreign invasion, it sent people to the gathering place to announce the good news, and people later called this place Xidu.

During the Shang Dynasty, two tribes of the Xiemo tribe merged into the Sushen tribe, which made the Sushen tribe very happy, so they called Xidu Helong (Helong) City.

During the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, the Mo people living here began to migrate, and the Buyeo people, adhering to the character of the grassland people, occupied this place and established their capital here.

Today, there are 30,000 households and about 200,000 people in Xidu, which is big enough to be called a big city!

When the Buyeo soldiers in the city saw the troops suddenly coming from the north, they shouted loudly and sent envoys to negotiate with Tian Yu.

"Who are you?"

At first, they spoke the language of Buyeo, so Tian Yu ignored them.

When the Buyeo envoys came and saw the Han Chinese clothing on Tian Yu, they were immediately shocked and asked: "Why are the Han Chinese coming from the north?"

When Tian Yu saw the other party so horrified, he immediately realized that the Battle of Xiangping must not be over yet, otherwise the other party would not react like this!

"attack!"

Although Xicheng has a long history, it has no city walls. It is just surrounded by a fence and has no defensive properties at all.

After all, the Buyeo people probably never thought that someone could actually attack their capital located deep in the mountains and forests!

Tian Yu looked at this ancient royal city excitedly.

Before, Tian Yu was not sure.

But the moment he saw Xidu, Tian Yu was sure——

The credit for my expedition this time is secured!

----

Xiangping is today's Liaoning.

Xidu is today's Changchun.
