Hongnong County, this is an ordinary county town leading to the ancient capital of Chang'an City from Luoyang... on the long road.

The emperor's carriage has already completed half of the journey to Luoyang from east to east.

But this is difficult, Emperor Liu Xie and all officials can only "kill their teeth - swallow them in their stomachs!"

"well…"

In a farmhouse in Hongnong County, Emperor Liu Xie sighed quietly.

He knew the hardships of the process best along the way...

Originally, the one who escorted him from Chang'an was General Dong Cheng, the cavalry, and the general protecting the country, Fu Wan.

These two, one is the father of his queen and the other is the father of his Concubine Dong, and are the two most trustworthy forces.

Even... Emperor Liu Xie is very dependent on these two father-in-laws.

But... Li Jue's Xiliang soldiers pursued them relentlessly.

Dong Cheng was unable to support himself, so he could only find Yang Feng, the general of the Bai Bo army and Dong Zhuo's former subordinate, to fight against the enemy together.

In addition, Han Xian, the commander of the Yellow Turban Army, also got involved...

Whether it is Yang Feng or Han Xian, they were originally the Yellow Turban Army and were rebels. They had their own interests. Being able to escort the emperor back to Luoyang is tantamount to whitewashing themselves, and they can also be promoted to the title. This transaction is stable.

Make no loss.

Again, Hanoi prefect Zhang Yang suddenly intervened and wanted to get a share of the pie.

Zhang Yang was supported by the Southern Xiongnu, and he was able to become the prefect of Hanoi County, and the Southern Xiongnu Khan made a lot of efforts behind him.

In addition to these forces, there are actually many speculative forces, such as Hu Cai, Li Le, and Wang Yi, but these are relatively gentle, neutral, and not that strong.

"well…"

Emperor Liu Xie looked at the sky in front of the window, helplessly wandering—

——I don’t know where is ahead, and I don’t know where is the way home.

"Your Majesty..." A woman walked behind him slowly.

You can see through the window, which is a beautiful face, with a pair of beautiful eyes looking into the horizon. If you look closely, the extremely deep eyes in your pupils add a lot of mystery and dignity.

But... a hint of loneliness fell on his smooth face, and his mouth opened slightly: "Your Majesty, do you know why we are returning to Luoyang to the east and there are more and more forces involved? This situation is getting more and more chaotic?"

He is the queen of the Han Dynasty. His surname is Fu, and his single name is Shou. People like to call her Queen Fu...

A word blurted out, her tone was filled with endless worry and helplessness.

"If the queen wants to say anything, I am so down and out. How bad can I be?" Emperor Liu Xie spoke slowly.

He has lost weight these days.

Yes, he sleeps in the open every day, and is hungry and full every meal. How could he not lose weight?

A great emperor of Han, who would have thought that he would be so miserable now!

And these... are nothing. Compared to the recent situation of the Han Empire, which was like a candle in the wind, the emperor Liu Xie was mixed with feelings.

Queen Fu Shou shook her head helplessly and said:

"Your Majesty appointed Han Xian as the General of the East, Hu Cai as the General of the West, Li Le as the General of the North, Zhang Yang as the General of the Anguo, and Wang Yi as the Marquis. They are allowed to open a palace on duty..."

"Whenever other small warlords heard of such a generous reward, I must think that if His Majesty can give him an additional title, they will naturally flock to him. How can this situation be stabilized?"

Yes, it was originally a matter of two father-in-law and a court official, but now the Yellow Turban Army, the old Xiliang troops, the Baibo Army, and local warlords.

Not to mention Fu Wan, Dong Cheng could not control it, even his emperor Liu Xie could not control this complicated situation at all.

For example, when the emperor returns to Luoyang, he can't walk at all. All warlords must agree to leave, so the emperor can't leave...

There is no one else who can make an emperor so humble!

The more this time, the more powerful emperor Liu Xie needed to help him help the great man to help him rise up the country and turn the tide down!

"Ah...ah..."

Liu Xie sighed helplessly. "The queen is right, but what can I do? Li Jue's traitor cavalry is chasing us... If we don't rely on these people around us, who else can we rely on?"

Speaking of this, Liu Xie paused for a moment, closed his eyes and looked at the sky.

"How come I don't know that they all have ulterior motives, yes..."

He clenched his fists and pounded heavily in front of the window. However, even if he was hungry, he would be weak and weak even if he swung his punch.

Just like the great man today, he is in turmoil and storm... I don’t know where the road is?

"Your Majesty, don't be too sad." Queen Fu Shou was also extremely worried, but she still had to comfort the emperor and cheer him up. "If you can return to the Eastern Capital this time, Your Majesty will be able to revive the great man again... Besides,

…and more…”

"The Grand Marshal Yang has sent someone to write a letter to Yuan Shao. He is the fourth generation of Yuan's three masters and now he has a million soldiers. He is closest to this place. If he has helped him, His Majesty will be able to clear the rebellion around him and return to Luoyang.

Rejuvenate the great man!”

Huo…

The appearance of Yuan Shao's name is like letting Emperor Liu Xie find a trace of light in the darkness.

Yes, Yuan’s family has received the favor of the emperor. As long as... as long as he can help, Li Jue’s pursuit, all the villains around him can be eliminated. The big man... The big man is going to be prosperous!

"Okay...good...good!"

After three good words in a row, Emperor Liu Xie turned around. "Empress, do you still have...Is there any food? I...I am hungry, I want to cheer up, I have to wait...When Yuan Aiqing arrives."

Speaking of this, Queen Fu took out a hidden pancake from her chest and clothes. There were some green moss marks on the pancake, as if she hadn't eaten it for a long time, but Liu Xie didn't mind at all. He removed the moss and swallowed it in big mouthfuls...

Hope, as long as there is hope!

If there is hope, there will be light in your eyes!

Speaking of which, any food seems to be precious under the severe drought, locust plague, and typhoid fever in the Sanfu Land...

Now, the pancake on Queen Fu’s chest is still warm, because Queen Fu’s place is big and hot enough!

Just then...

A eunuch hurriedly broke into this farmhouse.

"Your Majesty, outside the door... General Yang Feng asked for a meeting, and he wanted to ask His Majesty for his officers..."

Looking for an official?

Give it... Give it...

This was a subconscious reaction. The emperor took out an iron awl from the table behind him and handed him over to the eunuch.

Recently...because more and more people are seeking official positions, where is the time to carve seals?

So the emperor used an iron awl to reward one, and asked the eunuch to carve one at any time!

Originally, there were very few generals from the Eastern Han Dynasty, and the lieutenant was already of a very high rank. However, Dong Zhuo first had a large number of lieutenants, and the lieutenant became worthless from then on!

Later, after Li Jue and Guo Si controlled the court, they also granted a large number of generals.

Now... Emperor Liu Xie gave me such rewards again, I am afraid that the title of general, especially the name of the miscellaneous general, is even more valuable.

Such a reward is just a false reputation and is completely a joke. What's the point?

But from Liu Xie's perspective, what can he do?

Since you want to return to the east, you must rely on these people!

"I'll give you what General Yang Feng wants, I'll give you what I want."

"This is the list handed over by General Yang Feng..." The eunuch handed over the list to Liu Xie...

Huo... At first glance, there were as many as sixteen people who wanted to be appointed as general. Liu Xie looked at the first name of it - Xu Huang?

He had some impression of this general, which was a general under Yang Feng who was holding a golden back and had the courage to be defeated by ten thousand men. In the past... he retreated from Li Jue's pursuit.

"Encounter...Encounter General Xu Huang as Hou Duting...Encounter..."

Sixteen roads were enthroned in a row. Emperor Liu Xie was tired, and his heart was very tired!

…

…

Yanzhou, Chenliu County, and the government office.

Everyone was eating dumplings happily in the dining hall, but Cao Cao and Lu Yu were in the study.

This was specially arranged by Xun Yu. He went west to Luoyang and welcomed the emperor. It was time for Cao Cao to make his final arrangements. According to past experience, Lu Yu would often put forward some insightful views at this time.

More importantly, these insights have been tested and convincing.

When he thought of this, Xun Yu raised his eyes through the window and looked towards the study...

"Xun Sima, stop being idle, eat it quickly..." Cao Hong patted Xun Yu on the shoulder. He couldn't figure out that the delicious dumplings were right in front of him. Why did Xun Sima become idle? It's a waste of resources!

"Xun Sima, I heard that this is the last pot. If you don't eat it, you will be gone... Come on... Eat quickly and eat!"

For a moment, Cao Hong seemed generous!
