The secret organization of the Great Who He Han Dynasty was similar to the bad guys of the Tang Dynasty. To be precise, the bad guys of the Tang Dynasty should be an organization built after the Great Who He. The identity implanted by the system for Gao Changgong was a member of the Great Who He. In this era, the identity implanted by the Eighteen Riders of Yanyun was also from the Great Who He. It was true that they all wore masks to maintain their identity. Gao Changgong saw that Liu Bian was silent and spoke at the same time.
"Your Majesty, by the time of the late emperor, the Great Who was already on the verge of decline. The late emperor did not manage much, so the Great Who was no longer the same as before. After the late emperor died, we disbanded on our own.”Gao Changgong cupped his hands and said. Liu Bian quickly went forward to help Gao Changgong up. "In General Gao's eyes, I have never seen you since I ascended the throne. However, every time you save my life in times of danger, it is a great merit.”
"My lord!" At this moment, a voice rang out in everyone's ears. They saw a person riding a horse from outside the city. It was none other than Liu Ji. Looking at the situation in front of him, Liu Ji knew that this operation had succeeded. He hurriedly dismounted and bowed to Liu Bian. Liu Bian also spoke when he saw this. "Haha! Bowen, you're here. Let me introduce you. Bowen is General Gao Su, an old subordinate of my father. Changgong is my military advisor, Liu Ji. It was all thanks to his wisdom that we were able to attack Hangu Pass.”
The two of them became familiar with each other after Liu Bian introduced them to each other. Liu Ji saw Gao Su charge into Hangu Pass alone. Although he didn't know Gao Su's identity, he saw that the situation in the city seemed to have changed. The sounds of fighting suddenly stopped, and he was anxious. He couldn't care less. Now it seemed that his plan had succeeded. At this moment, Gui Ying also came to Liu Bian's side. "Your Majesty! What should we do next?"
"All soldiers, listen up. The Imperial Jade Seal is here. I am the Young Emperor of the Han Dynasty, Liu Bian. That Dong Zhuo has occupied the capital and is even more treacherous and wants to kill me. I am too weak to fight against him, so I fled Luoyang to seek a chance of survival. In the future, I will regroup my troops to eliminate the rebellion and restore the Han Dynasty! "Now that I want to go to Bingzhou, those who are willing to follow me to restore the Han Dynasty can leave with me to Bingzhou today. Those who are unwilling, don't make it difficult.”
Liu Bian raised the heirloom seal high and appeared in front of everyone like glass in the flames. Liu Bian shouted. Of course, the purpose of attacking Hangu Pass this time was not to seize the city. It should be known that Hangu Pass was the fortress to enter Luoyang. If Dong Zhuo knew that he was hiding in Hangu Pass, he would definitely lead an army here. He was not able to fight against him now. What he needed now was soldiers, food, and money.
"We are willing to follow Your Majesty! We'll conquer the Dong thief and restore the Han Dynasty!" When the surrounding soldiers heard this, they did not know that it was the emperor. They all knelt on the ground and none of them chose to leave. Liu Bian was happy to see this. There were 20,000 troops in Hangu Pass, and there were about 15,000 troops here. If he could not gather the rest, Liu Bian did not hesitate. Now was not the time to be calculative. "General Gao, you shall give the orders!”
"Yes! Everyone, bring along Dong Min's stashed belongings and food. Do not disturb the people in the city, and do not steal their money. Those who disobey will be killed without mercy!”Gao Changgong saluted upon hearing this. He then got on his horse and gave orders to the soldiers. They quickly got ready and left with the money and food that Dong Min had privately collected. With these money and food, they were enough to go to Bing Province.
What Liu Bian didn't expect was that Dong Min had collected a lot more than he had imagined. In fact, Dong Min was Dong Zhuo's younger brother, and Dong Zhuo had always trusted him. Dong Min wanted to collect more taxes to please Dong Zhuo, so he had so much property. These properties could help him. Bingzhou was in turmoil, and he needed to have a foothold.
In this battle, Liu Bian had obtained 15,000 troops, most of which were infantry and 1,000 cavalry. However, this was enough. The news of Liu Bian and the others taking away the troops, grain, and property, as well as Dong Min's death, was immediately sent back to Luoyang. When Dong Zhuo found out, he flew into a rage. "Liu Bian, you brat, how dare you kill my brother! How can I tolerate you!”
"Father-in-law, please calm down for the time being. Of course, that child Liu Bian cannot be tolerated. However, Luoyang is currently in turmoil because of Liu Bian's escape. We need to stabilize the court and support Prince Chen Liu as Emperor. At that time, we will use the name of Liu Bian's rebellion to attack!”At this moment, Li Ru stood out once again. At this moment, Liu Bian was still the Emperor. If the world knew that Liu Bian had escaped Luoyang after being assassinated by Dong Zhuo, it would definitely cause a huge impact.
The only way now was to force Prince Chen Liu to become the Emperor. At that time, he would force Prince Chen Liu to issue an edict to attack Liu Bian. This was the best plan. Although Dong Zhuo was angry, he was also aware of the current situation. The civil and military officials in the court knew that Liu Bian had escaped Luoyang and had guessed most of it. Although Dong Zhuo was not afraid of these officials, he could not kill them all. Although he was angry, he could only temporarily suppress his anger. Moreover, Liu Bian had already escaped Hangu Pass. It was too late to chase after him now.
"Bowen! We're about to reach Bingzhou. I know very little about the situation in Bingzhou. I don't know what to do next.”Liu Bian said to Liu Bowen. Liu Ji gently cupped his hands. "Your Majesty, Bing Province is divided into nine counties. They were Shangdang County, Taiyuan County, Xihe County, Shangjun, Yanmen County, Dingxiang County, Yunzhong County, Wuyuan County, and Shuofang County!”
"The territory is vast, and you can be said to be the most open disciple of our Great Han. However, in recent years, the Xianbei, Xiongnu, and Qiang Hu have gradually risen and repeatedly invaded the border. Shuofang, Dingxiang, Yunzhong, Wuyuan, and other counties have fallen into the hands of the foreign tribes. Now, we can only rely on Yanmen to defend. Yanmen is the main road connecting Bingzhou and the foreign tribes. If Yanmen is lost, the foreign tribes will invade our Great Han territory, and it will be like entering an uninhabited land.”Liu Bowen carefully analyzed the situation in Bingzhou for Liu Bian.
"Your Majesty, the former governor of Bing Province, Ding Yuan, only controlled Taiyuan, Shangdang, Shangjun, Xihe, and Yanmen. Therefore, if Your Majesty wants to take over Bing Province, you need to control Taiyuan first, then Yanmen!”Liu Bowen's eyes lit up. Tai Yuan was the place where Ding Yuan's army was stationed in the past. Most of them were Ding Yuan's old subordinates. The people of Taiyuan also loved Ding Yuan. Therefore, taking Taiyuan was the easiest way to win the hearts of the people. Moreover, Tai Yuan was the closest to Yanmen. It was the most suitable place to take over Bingzhou.
