Three Kingdoms: Jiehu becomes stronger from the beginning of Taoyuan's three knots

Chapter 149 Trouble in Hanoi County

In October of the sixth year of Zhongping, that is, in October of 189 AD.

Dong Zhuo's vanguard general Xu Rong broke through the gate of Luoyang City, and [-] troops poured into Luoyang City.

After the army entered the city, they did not chase and kill deserters, and did not harass the people. All the soldiers only wanted to enter the palace as soon as possible.

One hour after Dong Zhuo broke through the city, Niu Fu led his troops to break through the main gate of the palace, and led five thousand soldiers into the palace to capture Empress Dowager He, the emperor and more than fifty ministers alive.

On the second day after Luoyang broke the city, Dong Zhuo summoned all the officials in the front hall of Chongde.

He forced Empress Dowager He to issue an edict to establish Liu Xie as emperor, depose Liu Bian as King Hongnong, and the Empress Dowager returned to power.

After Dong Zhuo read out the imperial edict, Grand Tutor Yuan Kai saw that Emperor Shaodi of Han Dynasty was gone, so he went up to untie the seal ribbon worn by the deposed emperor himself, and presented it to the new emperor.

Liu Xie officially became the emperor, changed his Yuan to Yonghan, and became Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty.

After Liu Xie sat on the dragon chair, Yuan Kai personally helped King Hongnong go down to the palace, and bowed down to the new emperor.

Empress Dowager He, who was standing on the dragon steps watching the ceremony, choked up tears on the spot.

All the ministers in the hall were deeply saddened, but they dared not speak out.

Empress Dowager He and many ministers have begun to regret that they should not have committed crimes to force Liu Ce away.

If Liu Ce was still here today, Dong Zhuo would definitely have had a hard time getting into the city easily.

Unfortunately, there is no regret medicine to buy in this world.

After Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty came to the throne, Dong Zhuo was immediately worshiped as the grand master, who had an overview of the affairs of the court and commanded all the officials.

After Dong Zhuo came to power, he immediately selected celebrities such as Cai Yong as scholars, and spread his cronies widely in the court.

From then on, Dong Zhuo began to dominate the government and became a powerful figure in the world.

When Dong Zhuo was doing well in Luoyang, Liu Ce had already started a new round of military operations against Bingzhou.

After Liu Ce returned to Yecheng, he immediately dispatched [-] troops to the battlefield in Hanoi County and [-] troops to Hulao Pass, and ordered Zhang Yun to lead his troops to garrison the Guandu area.

The reason why Liu Ce went to Hanoi County to recruit troops was not because the city was difficult to conquer, but because of new situations in Hanoi.

Ding Yuan and Lu Bu led [-] Yanmen frontier troops to kill them!

It turned out that when Dong Zhuo was transferred to Liangzhou to cooperate with Huangfusong to quell the chaos, Ding Yuan was appointed by the court as the prefect of Hanoi County.

But Dong Zhuo kept ordering people to occupy the cities of Hanoi and refused to hand them over.

Ding Yuan sent five waves of officials to negotiate, but Dong Zhuo prevaricated all of them on the grounds that the war in Liangzhou was too tight and there was no time for distraction.

It wasn't until the news of Dong Zhuo's feud with the imperial court spread in the past two days that Ding Yuan made up his mind to take back the cities of Hanoi County by force.

But what he never expected was that Liu Ce from Jizhou sent troops to fight over first.

As a result, the situation on the border of Hanoi quickly turned into a stalemate between the three armies of Liu, Dong, and Ding.

Dong Zhuojun wanted to retreat but did not dare to retreat, Ding Yuan wanted to fight but did not dare to fight, Liu Cejun did not know who to fight first.

Liu Ce arrived at Chaoge in person and discussed the Hanoi issue with Jushou, Guan Yu, Yan Liang and others.

Chaoge City, inside the Prefect's Mansion.

Jushou has been doing self-examination for half an hour.

At the beginning, Liu Ce ordered him to capture Hanoi in ten days, but it has been more than a month now, and Hanoi still failed to capture.

For this reason, Jushou asked himself to be downgraded three ranks in a row as a punishment for the disadvantage of the war.

Liu Ce approved Jushou's request, but still retained his position in the Qinglong Army's military division.

"Okay, don't talk about the past! Now think about how to solve the Hanoi issue as soon as possible. We can't waste our strength and energy here!"

Everyone present knew that Liu Ce's real goal was Luoyang.

Leaving Zhang Liao stationed at Hulao Pass, and ordering Xu Sheng and Ju Yi to lead [-] troops for reinforcements, they were all preparing for the attack on Luoyang.

But who would have thought that the pace of Jizhou's army going south would be held back by Ding Yuan.

"Brother, why don't you let me lead the troops? It's just a Dingyuan, and I will sacrifice his head within ten days!"

Guan Yu confidently clasped his fists slowly and said to Liu Ce.

When Yan Liang and the others heard this, they clasped their fists together and asked for a fight, demanding to follow Guan Yu in the battle.

Liu Ce frowned slightly after hearing Guan Yu's words.

"It seems that a battle with Lu Bu is inevitable. Since we have to do this sooner or later, why not fight early and take it easy!"

After whispering to himself, Liu Ce immediately turned to look at Que Chao and asked.

"Where is Zhang Fei now?"

Que Chao thought for a while and hurriedly clasped his fists and replied.

"The third general should take Mu Ye with him, and he will be able to arrive at Chaoge tomorrow morning."

After hearing this, Liu Ce sighed slightly and said.

"Order an order to tell Zhang Fei to report directly to Huang Zhong in Hanoi!"

When Que Chao heard the words, he hurriedly clasped his fists and left, while Guan Yu looked at Liu Ce nervously.

"Brother, I was the one who called for the battle first, why did you let the third brother go first?"

Liu Ce laughed and said after listening to Guan Yu's words.

"Second brother, don't worry! You can also go to pass the order, the Qinglong Corps will move out immediately, and the target is Hanoi!"

After hearing this, Guan Yu was immediately overjoyed, then clasped his fists and made a loud promise before leaving.

Seeing this, the other generals clasped their fists and left immediately, but Ju Shou stood still.

Seeing Jushou's troubled expression, Liu Ce took the initiative to ask.

"Gong and sir, do you have something to say?"

Hearing this, Ju Shou hurriedly stepped forward and said slowly.

"I once heard that there was a son under Ding Yuan's tent, and this man was invincible..."

Liu Ce laughed immediately when he heard this, and then he answered.

"I know, isn't it just a Lu Bu!"

Jushou was a little surprised after hearing this. He did not expect that Liu Ce also knew this person.

"Since the lord knows it, then we should make preparations early."

Liu Ce looked at Jushou confidently and said.

"To tell you the truth, this time, this general is targeting Lu Bu!"

"If he is a tiger, then General Ben will be Wu Song fighting a tiger!"

After saying this, Liu Ce couldn't help but burst out laughing.

Seeing this, Ju Shou wanted to interject several times to ask—Who is Wu Song?
But Liu Ce went all the way to the big tent without giving him this chance.

As soon as Liu Ce got out of the big tent, he met Hua Mulan head-on.

After seeing this woman, Liu Ce immediately turned around and left.

"Stop! Why are you always avoiding me these days?"

Hua Mulan quickly caught up with Liu Ce, and questioned him in a very blunt tone.

Liu Ce squeezed out a smile, and replied very politely.

"No, I'm just a little busy! We can communicate with consciousness at any time, so we don't have to meet every day, right?"

Hua Mulan looked at Liu Ce's smirk, and a smirk immediately appeared on the corner of her mouth.

"Look at your petty look, don't think I don't know what you're hiding! Isn't it just that you exchanged a few gadgets a while ago, as for that?"

Liu Ce really wants to cry but has no tears!

This prodigal girl is about to bankrupt herself, so she still has the nerve to ask?
I can't afford to offend you, can't I hide?
You actually came to the door again, you don't want me to feel better, don't you?

Liu Ce felt bitter, but he didn't dare to say it.

"No, am I that kind of person?"

"I'm really busy, I'm going to fight Lu Bu!"

"It's the man known as the fiercest man in the Three Kingdoms!"

"So, I'm under a lot of pressure, can you understand me?"

Liu Ce stared at Hua Mulan with wide eyes, trying to make his eyes look innocent.

After hearing this, Hua Mulan nodded slowly involuntarily.

"That's it, you should have said it earlier!"

"It's just a fight with Lu Bu, so I won't be so nervous, I have a way..."
