Lu Bu: My wife comes from two thousand years later

Liu Xie and his ministers rested in Huayin for a few days. They originally wanted to wait until the two Li brothers left before leaving the city. However, Duan Wei asked His Majesty to sympathize with the people and leave Huayin as soon as possible on the grounds that the city was surrounded by troops and the people in the city could not go out to collect firewood.

Liu Xie had no choice but to leave Huayin City under the escort of Duan Wei.

Duan Wei specially prepared a luxurious carriage pulled by four horses for Liu Xie to highlight his status as the emperor, and also provided mounts for all the court officials.

The team arrived outside the city in a mighty manner. Duan Wei safely delivered the person to Qu Yi, and at the same time dispatched 5,000 soldiers to escort the person to Fenglingdu.

When the emperor came out of the city, people from all sides requested to come forward to pay him an audience, and what they meant by an audience was to come up with a group of elite soldiers and generals.

Liu Xie opened the carriage curtain and looked out at the troops with the Yuan flag flying in the distance. He said to Qu Yi, "General, could you please allow the governors of Yuanzhou and Caozhou to come up and speak?"

Qu Yi, unaware that Lü Bu's true purpose was to eliminate the emperor, not to welcome him, replied, "The two governors may come to see you, but their troops must not come within more than five hundred paces of Your Majesty."

Liu Xie subconsciously looked at Yang Biao, who nodded helplessly. Liu Xie said, "Okay!"

Soon, a soldier went to pass on the message. However, before Yuan Shao could react, the troops of the two Li brothers in the rear started moving first. Liu Xie only heard a rumbling sound of horse hooves coming from afar. The carriage under his butt seemed to shake with the ground. Then there was the soldiers' uniform roar. Frightened, he jumped and lowered the curtain of the carriage, shouting urgently, "General! Quick! Move!"

Qu Yi glanced back and then at the armies of Yuan and Cao in front, his expression grim. He truly didn't understand his lord's intentions. Since he had already subjugated Duan Wei, why didn't he allow His Majesty to remain in Huayin for a while longer? Once the two Li armies ran out of food, they would naturally retreat. It would then be much easier to deal with just Yuan and Cao. Now, both front and back were coming to seize the emperor. Could he and Duan Zhongming, with their 7,000 men, truly protect His Majesty? If anything went wrong, it wouldn't be his fault!

Duan Wei didn't quite understand why his lord was in a hurry to take His Majesty away. He guessed that maybe he was in a hurry to attack Jizhou and didn't want to stay here for too long!

Qu Yi said to Duan Wei, "Zhongming, your men will hold off the two Lis first. I will escort His Majesty first!"

Duan Wei nodded and took his own 5,000 soldiers to stay behind to cover the rear.

Qu Yi and Hua Xiong were commanding the team in front, while Guan Hai led some people on horseback to guard Liu Xie's carriage. The group galloped quickly to the east. When Yuan Cao saw that the two Lis in the rear had taken action, he led his troops to intercept Qu Yi's team in the name of paying homage to the emperor.

"Envoy Yuan, Envoy Cao, why are you two intercepting the emperor's carriage?" Qu Yi asked loudly.

Yuan Shao, escorted by Yan Liang and Zhang He, rode forward and sneered, "General Qu, even a dog raised for a long time knows how to be grateful to its former master. You are worse than a dog. You've only been away for a few days, and you're already yelling at your former master like this?"

Qu Yi originally felt a little guilty towards Yuan Shao, but he didn't expect him to be humiliated like this. He couldn't help but fly into a rage, "Bullshit! You are the dog, your whole family are dogs! Your ancestors for eighteen generations are all dogs!"

"you--"

Yuan Shao was so angry at being abused in front of his soldiers that smoke rose from his head. However, he was too proud of his noble status to curse directly like Qu Yi. He could only swallow his anger and snort coldly, "A vulgar and uncouth man can only follow a vulgar and uncouth man!"

After cursing, Qu Yi was still not satisfied and started to expose Yuan Shao's past. "I was originally a subordinate of Han Wenjie. You used a treacherous scheme to seize Jizhou from Han Wenjie and then forced him to death. You are so despicable and shameless! Now my lord is Lü Fengxian of Bingzhou. If you know what's good for you, get out of the way quickly, or don't blame me for being rude!"

With Lu Bu away, Yuan Shao didn't take Qu Yi's two thousand men seriously. He laughed and said, "Then I'd like to see how rude you are!"

He waved his hand and the knights in the rear swarmed forward. Cao Cao saw the opportunity and also sent a cavalry to rush towards Liu Xie's carriage from the side.

War horses neighed, arrows flew, and the battle for the emperor on the banks of the Yellow River officially began!

Hua Xiong led a thousand Flying Bear soldiers to clear the way. These Flying Bear soldiers were equipped with top-notch equipment, the best war horses, and the soldiers' armor and weapons were all produced by Juyi Village. Although their number was smaller than Yuan's army, their lethality was several times stronger than that of the enemy. In a moment, they opened a bloody path in front.

Later, Qu Yi led another thousand cavalrymen to resist the attack of Cao's army while following the Feixiong army to charge towards Fenglingdu.

"Yuan Benchu ​​and Cao Mengde attempted to assassinate the emperor. Protect the emperor! Protect the emperor quickly!" Guan Hai rode his horse to Liu Xie's carriage and shouted loudly.

Liu Xie, sitting in the carriage, was terrified at the sight of soldiers galloping and fighting everywhere. He had never seen such a large-scale cavalry battle before. It took him a long time to come to his senses. He shouted to Yang Biao, "Quick! Tell the governor of Yuanzhou to stop! Stop now! I'm going to Bingzhou! Go to Bingzhou! Tell him to stop fighting! Stop fighting!"

Yang Biao rode a few steps closer and said soothingly, "Don't be afraid, Your Majesty! They are here to rescue you. No one, whether it's the Bingzhou army or the Yuan army or the Cao army, will attack you. Just sit in the carriage and nothing will happen."

As soon as he finished speaking, there was a whoosh and a bullet flew over, hitting the carriage. Liu Xie screamed in fright, and the empress and concubine in the carriage were also frightened and turned pale. The three of them hugged each other and trembled. Yang Biao was also frightened and hurriedly called on the soldiers nearby to come over and protect the emperor and the court officials in the middle.

However, as the cavalry charged forward, it was impossible for them to protect the carriages as tightly as the infantry formations. After leaving Huayin, before reaching Fenglingdu, several court officials were unfortunately shot by stray bullets and died under the horses' hooves.

The fighting continued, and the carriage galloped all the way. On a hillside on the opposite bank, Lu Bu and Zhang Mo were watching the fighting on the bank of the Yellow River from afar.

"That boy is actually very innocent, he's just a child..."

She turned to look at him, "Am I... cruel?"

Although she felt guilty when she gave the idea before, she did not feel a deep sense of guilt. However, now that she had to watch the child fall into the Yellow River with her own eyes, her heart was filled with heartache and guilt.

The reason why she didn't want to bring the emperor to Bingzhou, in addition to the reasons mentioned by Lu Bu, was that she was also afraid that Liu Xie would be unwilling to be a puppet when he grew up, and would recreate the historical Yidaizhao incident.

After all, Liu Xie is the orthodox of the Han Dynasty. No matter how powerless he is, as long as he gives an order, there will still be many loyal people of the Han Dynasty who will support him. If the Yidaizhao incident in history had succeeded, it would be Cao Cao and the entire Cao family group that would die. She did not want to have such an unstable factor around herself and Lu Bu, and she did not want the young man to be used by others to deal with Bingzhou.

"What a silly question!" Lu Bu pressed her head into his arms and gently stroked her hair like a kitten.

"There are so many innocent people in this world. Before he ascended to the throne, he at least enjoyed a life of honor and comfort. But how many children in the world have been starving since birth, or even been bartered for food by their parents? Who isn't innocent? It's not you who's cruel, it's this world!"

Zhang Mo looked up at him. How could this guy say such a thing?

Lü Bu pointed at the chaotic battlefield in the distance and continued, "Today, they dared to start a war here and there to seize the emperor. Even if you bring him to Bingzhou, they will attack us tomorrow under the pretext of rescuing the emperor. His life is a nuisance and a burden to us. Besides, rather than being treated as a puppet for the rest of his life, living in cowardice and fear, it would be better for him to die and put an end to it all. Perhaps this would be a relief for him."
