Volume 3: The Wind Rises in the Eastern Capital Chapter 381: True and False Blood Edict

Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    After listening to Guo Jia's words, Zhen Yao nodded in agreement without too much hesitation.  Seeing this, Guo Jia walked to the desk in the secret room, where brocade silk and a dagger were already placed.  Because if you want to fake a blood edict, you naturally have to write it in blood.

    "Please wait a moment, please." Zhen Yao saw Guo Jia preparing to bleed and quickly stopped him.  He stepped forward and took the dagger that had just been unsheathed from his hand, and said, "Since Fengxiao has advised me, this blood belongs to Yao." After that, he lightly cut his middle finger with the dagger, and pressed his thumb against the middle finger.  Slowly squeeze out the scarlet blood.

    Zhen Yao naturally had his own thoughts when he chose to bleed himself.  Although Guo Jia's health has been relatively good in the past few years, the body that has been drained by drinking and sex over the years cannot be replenished much.  To write a blood edict, this was naturally a large-scale bloodletting project. Zhen Yao did not want Guo Jia to lose blood and die prematurely like in history because of this trivial matter.

    And as the lord, if he just watched his subordinates bleed without doing anything, regardless of whether Guo Jia had other thoughts, Zhen Yao would always feel that it was useless, so he would rather swing the sword himself.  Although his physique was not as good as that of Zhang Fei and other generals, he was not afraid of bleeding. At worst, he would ask Hua Tuo for a prescription for blood replenishment later.

    Guo Jia was naturally aware of Zhen Yao's thoughts, and did not refuse. He just looked at his lord, squeezed out the blood bit by bit, and slowly wrote out a 'blood edict'.

    The blood edict written by Zhen Yao is definitely very different from that written by the emperor, but this does not hinder its authenticity. As long as Zhen Yao can publish his own in the world before the real blood edict appears.  The world.

    After finishing a letter written in blood, Zhen Yao suddenly thought of a problem, that is, the date of production of the blood letter he just got out today is very 'new'.  This must be taken into consideration when making false claims.

    Fortunately, when Guo Jia sent the messenger to find Zhen Yao, he had already thought everything through in advance. When Zhen Yao raised this issue, he immediately said that this matter would be left to him.  In this way, Zhen Yao, who had lost half a bowl of blood, nodded with satisfaction.

    On the second day, Zhen Yao summoned all Wuji¡¯s civil and military officials to discuss matters, and told them about the blood edict, and the whole hall suddenly became silent.  The blood edict was placed on the desk in front of Zhen Yao, where everyone could see it, which prevented everyone from looking at each other.

    Among the civil and military officials, Ju Shou, Xu You and Chen Deng had different reactions.  Guo Jianeng thought that the emperor's blood edict would definitely take Wuji into consideration, and these three people also had the same guess.  But Zhen Yao has already taken out the blood edict, so even if it is false, it must become true.  But the rest of the generals are gearing up in their hearts. After nearly a year of rest, it's time to stretch their muscles.

    Zhen Yao was silent for a while, and then spoke again: "Yao wants to imitate the day when he challenged Dong, and invite all the princes to gather at Tongguan to attack Dong's thieves in Chang'an! Kong Zhang, how much food is left after the wheat harvest this spring?"

    When Chen Lin heard this, she smiled bitterly and went out: "It is not enough to support 10,000 soldiers and horses for half a year."

    Zhen Yao knew it in his heart. He asked this question just to see the attitude of his subordinates. He looked around at the civil and military officials and asked in a deep voice: "What do you think? Yao can just ignore the emperor's safety?"

    Because her son had been sent by Zhen Yao to accompany Zhen Ang, Yan Rou, who was already considered a confidant of the Zhen family, immediately clasped her fists and said: "My lord, I am willing to lead three thousand troops and enter Chang'an!"

    Zhang Fei also came out and said: "Fei, I am also willing to lead the troops into battle!"

    "My lord, the last general invites you to fight!" Immediately afterwards, Xu Huang, Zhao Yun and others also spoke one by one.

    Zhen Yao nodded with satisfaction, then asked: "Gong Yu, what do you think?"

    Jushou's right arm trembled slightly, and then he bowed forward and said, "Since the Lord wants to summon all the princes to make an alliance, we don't need too many soldiers and horses. Five thousand troops are enough for Wuji. However, if the emperor is allowed to meet with the other princes,  , I¡¯m afraid something will happen.¡±

    Ju Shou¡¯s words have made his position clear, and he also secretly expressed one intention to Zhen Yao, that is, Mr. Ju Da already knows that this so-called blood letter is not genuine.

    The corner of his mouth raised, and Zhen Yao smiled and said: "What you said is almost the same as the plot of Feng Xiao. In that case, Kong Zhang, I will leave this blood letter to you to spread to the rest of the Han Dynasty. The emperor is in trouble, and we must save him!"

    "Nuo!" Chen Lin is a great butler who works very hard. Ever since Zhen Yao's successive battles, she has to tighten her belt to get by. If she doesn't make precise calculations, it will be difficult to maintain Zhen Yao's expanding family business.  .

    And just when Zhen Yao was busy preparing to announce the blood edict to the world, a middle-aged man with a long life in Jinyang City, Bingzhou, rode a fast horse to the Prefecture Mufu.

    Lu Bu, who had just recovered from a serious illness, looked at the edict written in blood on his hand in disbelief. He looked at the man below and asked, "Is this a blood letter sent by the emperor?"

    The person who sent the letter nodded repeatedly: "The boy is a relative of the uncle's house, no.Dare to tell half a lie.  "

    "I know it, you go and rest first." Lu Bu waved his hand and motioned to the soldiers standing aside to take the people down.

    After the people left, Lu Bu carefully read the blood edict several times. It said that he was required to lead troops to attack Chang'an from the north of Sanfu and come to rescue him.  As long as he successfully rescues the emperor, Lu Bu will be able to become a very popular minister, and he will be able to obtain titles and power.

    It was not Cao Cao or Ma Teng. Emperor Xian actually chose to ask Bingzhou Lu Bu for help, but even Zhen Yao did not guess.  But this approach is reasonable.  Lu Bu has always ignored the war in the Central Plains. After being attacked by Yuan Shao the year before last, it was Zhen Yao who avenged him.  Compared with other princes, Chang'an's vigilance and vigilance against Lu Bu were the weakest.

    "As for Zhen Yao and Cao Cao, needless to say, Emperor Xian himself knew that if he went there, he would probably still be a puppet. At most, he would be safer and less afraid than in Chang'an.

    "In this way, Lu Bu, the Bingzhou flying general, was the first choice for the emperor to ask for help.  After all, Lu Bu didn't show much lust, and he was easier to seduce.  Unlike Zhen Yao, if this blood book was sent to Wuji, it would probably be a meat bun beating a dog situation.

    Lu Bu looked at the blood letter in his hand with amusement. If Emperor Xian had come to him for help a few years ago, or even before this serious illness, and promised so many benefits, he would have agreed in a hot head.

    But at this moment, Lu Bu's mind was not on this. For him, if he was defeated or seriously injured under his own rule, his reputation as a flying general would be ruined.  After squeezing the brocade silk, Lu Bu asked the only person in the hall: "Uncle Xun, what do you think about this matter?"

    Gao Shun is good at fighting and handling some simple government affairs, but this matter of making plans is difficult for him.  After a long silence, General Gao clasped his fists and said, "Shun, obey the Lord's orders!"

    Lu Bu has never valued scribes. He likes to use absolute power to defeat his enemies.  But now, especially after recovering from serious injuries, he finally understood why princes from all walks of life always have so many weak scholars around them.

    "This edict is not useful for Bu, but it should be given to someone who is useful." Lu Bu thought for a long time and consciously sent troops to capture Chang'an. There would be no great benefit in taking over the emperor. When he was in Luoyang, he knew Dong Zhuo's life very well.  In the end, it was decided to send this blood letter away. As for where to send it, of course there was no need to think too much. Wuji was the most suitable.

    That night, Lu Bu sent his trusted wolf cavalry to leave Jinyang and go to Wuji. One day later, Chen Lin's campaign to defeat thieves was sent to the southeast, northwest and northwest of the Han Dynasty through numerous messengers.

    Three days later, when Zhen Yao¡¯s fake blood edict was still wandering around, the real emperor¡¯s blood edict was brought into the Prefectural Mufu by Wolf Cavalry.  Holding this true edict, Zhen Yao looked embarrassed and didn't know whether to laugh or cry, but he couldn't say anything.

    Although Lu Bu sent the blood edict, Zhen Yao couldn't really turn a blind eye to Bingzhou. He immediately said to General Langqi: "Please tell your lord and ask him to make an alliance at Tongguan."

    The Wolf Rider nodded in agreement, then turned and left.  After he left, Zhen Yao called Guo Jia, Ju Shou, Xu You and Chen Deng to the mansion and discussed it in the study.

    Two completely different blood edicts were placed in front of the four people. Their expressions all changed. Among them, Guo Jia's facial changes were the most exciting. He also missed Lu Bu.  And this time it was considered a leak and no trouble occurred, but what about next time?  But not so lucky.

    Xu You didn't take it into consideration much, and first smiled and said: "This is a great blessing. Now the blood edict passed by my lord is true."

    Jushou shook his head and chuckled after hearing this. This thing is really dramatic. The person the emperor least wanted to summon with a blood edict not only got the real blood edict, but also secretly drafted a fake one.  But obviously everything is developing in a good direction now. Perhaps the Chang'an matter is not as difficult as imagined.

    Chen Deng was thinking more at the moment. This was his first time participating in this kind of inner-room meeting.  In other words, he is now Zhen Yao's confidant.  This has advantages and disadvantages.  The advantage is that he can finally enter the core decision-making circle of Wuji. The disadvantage is that if he wants to plan for his own family in the future, he will have to think more carefully. He is no longer suitable to be the head of the Chen family.

    Of course, there are also people who did not appear here, such as Chen Lin. There is no need to doubt his loyalty to Zhen Yao, but he did not call him. Firstly, because there are many things that Chen Lin needs to do now, and secondly, Chen Lin is not good at it.  For such a plan, you can only be a bystander.

    The blood edict started from Wuji and was passed along the county guards and prefectures. Soon Yanzhou, Jingzhou and other places received the edict.  When Cao Cao saw the memorial, his first reaction was that Zhen Yao had faked a blood letter just like he had done.  But then I thought about it and thought it was impossible. After all, this was different from the nature of the edict back then, and there was no benefit at all from cheating.

    As the chief counselor in Cao Cao's account, Xun Yu said: "My lord, in Yu's opinion, it is up to my lord toIt would be great if we could personally lead an army of soldiers and horses to bring the Emperor to Yanzhou.  "

    At the same time, in Jinyang, Bingzhou, Lu Bu looked at the slogan in his hand and was stunned for a while.  As someone who knew the truth about this matter, he knew without even thinking that nine out of ten sentences Zhen Yao said were false. The only sentence, "The emperor summoned us to jointly suppress thieves" was also half-true. As his son-in-law,  He is more courageous than himself.

    Except for Cao Cao and Lu Bu who wanted to send troops for various reasons, others who knew about it, such as Liu Biao of Jingzhou and Sun Jian of Jiangdong, only responded verbally to express their willingness to serve the emperor, but in fact they had no intention of sending troops at all.

    The reason is that Jiangdong is too far away from Chang'an and has insufficient congenital conditions to "hijack the emperor".  As for Jingzhou, Liu Biao was old, and he would only listen to the imperial edict but not the propaganda. Not to mention that Nanyang was blocked and he could not go north.

    In the summer of the fifth year of Jian'an (AD 200), Zhen Yao, who had been on hiatus for nearly a year, led Zhang Fei, Xu Huang, Zhao Yun, and two military advisors, Ju Shou and Xu You, with 5,000 heavy cavalry, and marched slowly towards Tongguan.  .  Tian Feng, Gao Lan, Zhang Liao and others who received Zhen Yao's edict also prepared food and grass and waited for the arrival of the princes at the pass.

    "Gao Lan met my lord (Liao met Zhou Mu)." The heavy cavalry moved slowly, and Zhen Yao deliberately did it. It took a full month and a half before Zhen Yao crossed Jizhou, crossed Chang'an, and arrived at Tongguan, the gateway to the east of Chang'an.  Close.

    Until now, Zhen Yao still has not given Zhang Liao a "status" and Lu Bu has not opened his mouth, so when he met Zhen Yao, he had to call him an official. When they met again after a year, Zhen Yao greeted the two of them with the same enthusiasm.

    Next to Zhang Liao, Lu Bu also appeared in the welcoming team in armor. His team was very close to Tongguan, and he was leading the wolf cavalry. He had already settled in the pass a month ago.  And Cao Cao also set up camp in the southwest of Tongguan half a month after his arrival.

    After entering the pass with everyone, Zhen Yao said: "Guanchang, send someone to invite Mengde to come to the pass."

    "Promise." Gao Lan nodded and agreed, and after a while, a single rider left the camp.

    Cao Cao moved very quickly, and within half an hour he arrived with two of his most important generals, Cao Hong and Xia Houyuan.  Everyone gathered in the central army's tent in the pass. Zhen Yao first took out the emperor's blood edict and said: "The emperor wept blood, so he ordered us to punish the thieves. Tomorrow we will send troops to Chang'an. What does Meng De have to say?"

    The blood edict that Zhen Yao produced was naturally not the genuine one from Lu Bu. After all, there were too many differences between the content of the genuine edict and the edict passed down by Zhen Yao.  At this time, Cao Cao had no intention of caring about the authenticity of the blood edict. He nodded and said, "Cao Cao has no objection."

    On the second day, Zhen Yao, Lu Bu, and Cao Cao's three-party coalition, with a total of more than 60,000 troops, including 25,000 troops from Zhen Yao, 20,000 troops from Lu Bu and Cao Cao, left Tongguan and approached Chang'an.  But in Chang'an City, Dong Min was extremely anxious.

    Li Ru is seriously ill and cannot stay awake for more than two hours a day. The other confidants are not very wise. Dong Min now feels the pain of his eldest brother in Luoyang back then.

    "Second Grandpa, Bai'er is here." The little girl of Weiyang Jun in the past has grown up. Her hair is tied up in a tall hairpin, and her smart eyes are a little haggard. She is what Dong Zhuo left in the world.  The only descendant is his granddaughter Dong Bai.

    "Bai'er." Just like Dong Zhuo in the past, Dong Min also regarded her as a treasure in his hand. When he saw her coming, he dismissed the dancing girls around to relieve their boredom, and barely showed a smile: "I came so early today."

    Dong Bai's face was a little pale, and his expression was quite haggard. Looking at the scene in front of him, he couldn't help but think of what happened to his grandfather Dong Zhuo back in Luoyang. How similar the two were.  He took the wine bottle that had bottomed out from Dong Min's hand, shook his head and said, "Second Grandpa, don't try to deceive Bai'er. Now the allied forces outside the city have arrived at the east pass to denounce Chang'an. Who else doesn't know?"

    "Bai'er, the second grandfather is useless, I am ashamed of my eldest brother!" Seeing this, Dong Min couldn't help but feel sad, and whispered: "You are aware of the current situation. Bai'er has been smart since he was a child. You should know that I, Mr. Dong  One door, is this such a calamity! Bai'er, you are the only descendant of my Dong family, you can't make any mistakes, I will have you sent out of the city right now."

    "No, Bai'er doesn't want to leave the city." Dong Bai gritted his teeth and whispered: "Second Grandpa, Chang'an City is not impossible to preserve. At least His Majesty is still in the palace. Second Grandpa should train his troops and horses at this moment to secure the city.  The only thing to do is to defend. Now that summer is about to pass, we only need to defend the city for four months. When the winter snow approaches, the coalition forces will withdraw. "

    Dong Bai obviously studied a lot and knew about ordinary wars, but she didn't know that Zhen Yao was determined to take Chang'an in one fell swoop this time, and he would not retreat even if it was snowing.

    Dong Min knew this, but he couldn't tell Dong Bai. He didn't want his already haggard granddaughter to be hit again, so he had to show his approval: "Yes, Bai'er is right, the second grandfather ordered to summon the entire city's troops."??, practice how to defend the city.  "

    Dong Bai¡¯s face became slightly relieved when he heard this, and he went to the side to serve Dong Min a bowl of sobering soup, but he insisted on feeding it to Dong Min with his own hands.  After that, he straightened Dong Min's clothes and took him to the barracks.

    All this was not known to Zhen Yao. He just slept in Tongguan for a good night before leaving with Cao Cao and Lu Bu.  Tongguan is not far from Chang'an. It can be reached in just two days if you go quickly. However, in order to avoid being ambushed in Huayin, the army advanced slowly. It took five days to cross the boundary of Huashan and is about 100 meters away from Chang'an.  There are only more than ten miles left.

    Arranged for most of the soldiers to camp, Zhen Yao and his three men came to Chang'an City with 20,000 troops and horses. Zhen Yao clapped his horse and came forward, shouting coldly: "Where is the traitor Dong Min? Go out of the city and meet Yao!"

    Dong Min stood at the top of Chang'an City, looking at the coalition soldiers outside the city. His heart was extremely sad, but his face was still heavy: "Zhen Yao, I am here, what do you have to say?"

    "Bring yourself out of the city and spare your Dong family!" Zhen Yao had nothing to say to Dong Zhuo's family. They were just successful kings and defeated bandits.

    Dong Min's face flashed with a stern look, and he sneered: "What a joke, you dare to call me a traitor when you attack the imperial city without authorization? And Fengxian, my brother treats you well, why do you let him invade Chang'an?"

    Lu Bu didn't like to argue with others, but he had to answer the question before him: "Send troops and horses to fight Bu. No matter you win or lose, Bu will never interfere after the war." This was not what he and Zhen Yao had discussed.  But there was no need for anyone to discuss what Lu Bu wanted to do.

    Zhen Yao was a little surprised by what Lu Bu said, but he also said softly: "I have this intention first, and Yao has thanked you in advance." The reason why he thanked him was because with Lu Bu's ability, it was impossible for him to lose to the soldiers and horses in the city. Lu Bu  His words were a disguised attempt to reduce the number of enemy troops for Zhen Yao.

    Similarly, Dong Min on the top of the city was also thinking after hearing this. Of course, what he was thinking about was not how to defeat Lu Bu, but how many soldiers should be sacrificed in exchange for Lu Bu's promise not to participate in the war again.

    After thinking for a long time, Dong Min stared at the Bingzhou wolf cavalry under the city, gritted his teeth and said: "Du Hao, with two thousand of your cavalry, do you dare to go out of the city to fight?"

    "Promise!" Chang'an's new young general can be said to be a newborn calf who is not afraid of tigers. He clasped his fists and accepted the order without thinking: "My lord, please be at ease. I will kill that disloyal general right now!"
