Chapter 190 The Emperor Summons
Dong Zhuo thought about many possible ways to break the city by Liu An, but he did not surrender the Yellow Turban.
Whether it was Huangfu Song's act of killing tens of thousands of Yellow Turbans or the emperor's edict that "only Zhang Jiao is unpardoned", they blocked the Yellow Turbans' surrender.
Dong Zhuo really couldn't imagine what method Liu An used to persuade the Yellow Turban to surrender.
However, Dong Zhuo just passed on a secret letter from Liu An and the Yellow Turban to his backer in the capital yesterday, the Yuan family, who colluded with Liu An and the Yellow Turban, and was slapped in the face today.
It turned out that those people entered Julu County yesterday to persuade the Yellow Turbans to surrender.
After inquiring about information from Liu'an's military camp, Dong Zhuo always frowned and pondered about the impact of the matter.
With Zhang Jiao's surrender, the war in the Jizhou War Zone will soon quell. Huangfu Song and Zhu Jun are in charge of the Southern Theater Command, and Dong Zhuo cannot get involved.
In this case, wouldn’t it mean that Dong Zhuo is really here to fight Qiu Feng?
All the limelight was snatched by Liu An, and Dong Zhuo not only did not make any contribution, but also used up the soldiers of the court and the food and supplies for two months.
If it weren't for the Yuan family's help, Dong Zhuo would inevitably be questioned.
After returning to the camp, Dong Zhuo immediately summoned his advisers and generals to discuss the matter.
Half an hour later, Dong Zhuo made the decision to carry out the accusation to the end. He insisted that the boy colluded with Zhang Jiao and poured dirty water on him.
On that day, Liu An arranged for someone to take "Zhang Jiao"'s head and good news to send him to Luoyang in an expedition.
Almost behind, Dong Zhuo also sent someone to send the handwritten letter to the Yuan family in Luoyang.
In the next half month, Dong Zhuo and Liu An divided into several armies to pacify the remaining Yellow Turbans in Jizhou.
However, Liu An asked several Yellow Turban deputy generals to follow the army to persuade the Yellow Turban to surrender, while Dong Zhuo's army passed by was full of corpses.
Liu An didn't say anything, but he became increasingly dissatisfied with Fatty Dong.
But Liu An now has no choice but to deal with Fatty Dong. Before he had to force him, Liu An didn't want to take the risk of attacking him.
But I secretly made up my mind to ask Dong in a few years and make this guy look good.
On this day, Liu An was leading troops to persuade the Yellow Turbans in Handan, Zhao State. Several fast horses came from the direction of Julu, shouting here a few dozen meters away:
"Your Majesty's oral order, summoning Liu An, the magistrate of Zhuo County, to come to the capital to meet the saint! Your Majesty's oral order..."
Liu An looked from a distance and saw that the leader was running fast, holding a token representing the emperor.
Seeing this, Liu An could only lead his subordinates and come forward to greet him.
The envoy, who was led, came close to dismount and asked high above: "Where is Liu An, the magistrate of Zhuo County?"
"The emperor is here." Liu An stepped forward to salute.
The messenger raised his voice and said loudly: "Tell His Majesty the oral order."
After saying that, he looked at Liu An and others, and continued to say, "Liu An, the magistrate of Zhuo County, go to Beijing immediately to meet the saint, and do not delay!"
"Yes!" Liu An saluted again.
Then he winked at his subordinates. After the iron guard came forward to the messenger and stuffed something secretly, Liu An said: "There are still some small things to be arranged in our military camp. The angels can make it easier. Can you wait for a while?"
The angel touched the golden cake in his hand, and a chrysanthemum-like smile appeared on his face.
"It's easy to say! County Magistrate Liu will go by himself!"
Liu An thanked the envoy and arranged for the Iron Guard to entertain the envoy, and then took several Iron Guards slightly away from the envoy's place.
"You go and tell Xiahou Lan quickly and let him pacify the Yellow Turbans, and immediately lead the crossbow cavalry back to Zhuo County, hide the horses in the manor, and the soldiers disband on the spot, so that those who have homes can go home and those who have no homes can be incorporated into the Liu family manor."
After saying that, he said to another iron guard:
"You go and tell Wei Xu that he will count all the seized horses. You must make up six thousand yuan. If not enough, you can buy them with money. After Xiahou Lan returns to Zhuo County, he will bring the horses and all the seized spoils and hand them over to Beijing."
Then Liu An turned to the last guard.
"You can go back to Zhuo County as soon as possible and inform Mr. Wenhe of everything that happened here, and follow his arrangements."
"No!" The three of them bowed and immediately rode away.
After Liu An also explained the persuasion of surrender here, he followed the angel back to Beijing, with only ten iron guards around him.
I think something was not good for me when I came to Luoyang.
Otherwise, even if Zhang Liang had killed Zhang Bao before, he would not have seen the emperor so anxious to let him go to Beijing. Now that Zhang Jiao is dead, the Yellow Turbans will be pacified within a few days, Liu An will naturally go back to the court. There is no reason why he is unwilling to wait for such a short time.
Since this is the case, no matter how many people Liu An brings, it will not work unless he rebels now.
But at this time, Liu An's strength was not even 10% sure of rebellion.
A lean camel is bigger than a horse.
No matter how corrupt the Han Dynasty was, it still owned the thirteen prefectures. Liu'an now has only Zhuo County and Wuyuan County, at best, plus Liu Bei's Xinchang County.
The land of one county and two counties was to subvert the entire Han Dynasty, which was no less than a scattered tree.
What's more, the country will always be destroyed by weak, and the Han will only be destroyed by strong. This sentence is not something to be heard.
The great man was just corrupt, not weak.
A few days later, Liu An and others entered Luoyang. Liu An was temporarily placed in the official house. The envoy entered the palace to report, waiting for the emperor's summons.
Not long after the angel left, Liu An found that many officers and soldiers came from outside the official house and surrounded the official house layer by layer.
Liu An wanted to walk out of the official house to find Zhang Qian to ask about the situation, but he was stopped, but he had no choice but to go back to the house and wait.
The Iron Guard responded to Liu An’s rebellion: “The county magistrate has made such great contributions, and the court has regarded it as a guest of honor, but it is so harsh to the county magistrate, and it is truly awesome!”
Another Tiewei said: "Why don't we cover up the county master, the county master will take the opportunity to leave Luoyang?"
Several other guards also agreed when they heard this.
Liu An waved his hand and signaled everyone to be calm.
"Don't let it get lost, I'll just wait and see what happens."
Seeing this, the few people didn't say much, but just tightened their hands holding the knife, ready to fight for Liu An at any time.
After waiting at the inn for about two hours, the palace sent a small yellow gate to Xuan Liu'an to visit the palace.
The iron guard was supposed to follow him, but was stopped by Liu An.
The iron guards will definitely not be able to enter the forbidden area of the palace. Even if they follow you now, they can only wait outside the palace gate.
This little yellow gate is a eunuch in the palace, and it is difficult for Liu An to use money to cover information. He quietly followed the little yellow gate to the palace.
Liu An was released after handing over the weapon at the palace gate, registering his identity and name, and receiving a palace sign representing temporary passage.
All palace gates are strictly guarded, and all people entering and leaving will be strictly investigated. Even palace maids and eunuchs cannot travel at will. They must have special palace signs to be qualified to enter and exit.
However, the guardian attitude is more flattering to some people with noble identities or great authority and frequent people.
Liu An entered the palace for the first time and was full of curiosity.
However, it has been two years since the Eastern Han Dynasty. Liu An has been influenced by many of the rules of this dynasty and has read a lot in books. He knows that there are many rules in the palace and cannot read randomly if you shouldn't read them.
Liu An lowered his head slightly and followed the little yellow gate. He didn't know how many turns he had turned. Anyway, Liu An's sense of direction had been gone.
After all, if you lower your head slightly and cannot look at the surrounding environment in a straight way, the sense of direction will be easily lost.
After walking for about two quarters of an hour, the little yellow gate in front finally said, "Mr. Liu will stop and wait for our family to report to Your Majesty."
