Volume 3: The Wind Rises in the Eastern Capital Chapter 382: Jia Xu¡¯s words disturb the heroes

Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    Lu Bu's defeat in Bingzhou was seriously injured, which not only dealt a big blow to himself, but also made other generals from various places who knew the news active.  Du Hao, the young general who came out of the city to fight in front of him, was like this. He thought that Lu Bu was no longer the majestic and unparalleled flying general of the past. What's more, he had just recovered from a serious illness. As long as he launched an attack, he would definitely be able to capture him.

    Lu Bu had a total of five thousand wolf cavalry beside him, but when he saw the young general leaving the city with two thousand cavalry, he only ordered the two wolf cavalry generals on the left and right to lead the troops out of the battle, but he did not move.

    Lu Bu didn't bother to personally take action against the young general in front of him on the battlefield, but in the opponent's view, this was because the flying general was cowardly and actually hid behind the cavalry formation.  Before riding the horse, he sneered and said: "Lu Fengxian, if you get off the horse obediently, I will spare your life!"

    With such words and attitude, when would anyone dare to treat him like this, Lu Bu?  Thinking that he had been lying on the hospital bed for half a year, and now no one knew him, he couldn't help but feel angry.

    "Wolf Cavalry, kill!" He spat out three words coldly, almost sentencing the opponent to death.  The two thousand-man cavalry under his command were divided into two groups. When Lu Bu's order was given, they rode out.

    "All the men, follow me to break through this bandit formation and capture Lu Bu!" Du Hao shouted loudly, leading the soldiers behind him to also charge. His mind was filled with thoughts of the scene where he could kill the enemy outside the city and turn the tide.

    "Wishes are full, but reality is often skinny. Although Du Hao doesn't know this sentence, his current situation explains these ten words very well.  The two wolf cavalry generals, because of Du Gao's disrespect for Lu Bu, fought with all their might, and the one chosen by Lu Bu to be the leader of the wolf cavalry team had excellent martial arts and equestrian skills.

    In one encounter, without Lu Bu having to do anything, Du Gao, who was dreaming of spring and autumn, was chopped down on the back of his horse by two wolf cavalry generals. Then the horse's four hooves spread, but he could not die anymore.

    "They are all insults to the lord, they all deserve to be killed!" The two wolf cavalry generals did not even look at the enemy generals they had dispatched. They just glanced at the Chang'an cavalry attacking from the front, shouted low, and began to mow down ruthlessly.

    It seems that Dong Min knew that the soldiers under his command were no match for Lu Bu, but when he saw the one-sided battle situation, he couldn't help but secretly complain.  Originally, if Du Hao had fought more tragically and fought harder, even if he lost, it would have boosted the morale of some of the defenders. However, the current situation would only make the surrounding defenders timid.

    Two thousand Chang'an cavalry were all killed outside the city in half a stick of incense, while Lu Bu's wolf cavalry only lost more than ten people.  Although this great victory was achieved because of the killing of generals in front of the formation, the most fundamental reason was that Chang'an's soldiers were poorly trained and their combat power was very weak.

    Zhen Yao was also very envious of the soldiers and horses under Lu Bu's tent. When he saw the two wolf knights coming back to resume their duties, he immediately said to Lu Bu with a smile: "The wolf knights' style, I can't tire of it for a long time!"

    Zhen Yao also had elite cavalry under his command, including heavy cavalry, white horse archers, lancers and light cavalry with swords.  These cavalry are all elite divisions when put on the battlefield. Logically speaking, compared to cavalry, Zhen Yao does not need to envy others.

    But the Bingzhou Wolf Cavalry was beyond common sense. Zhen Yao praised the Wolf Cavalry. The most important thing he valued was the aggressiveness of this troop and its bloodthirsty and warlike nature.  As the name suggests, soldiers are like a hungry wild wolf when placed on the battlefield. A man and a horse together can oppress people even if they stand still.

    And when thousands of wolf cavalry appeared, even if Zhen Yao sent his soldiers to fight head-on, he would not get any advantage.  It was this barbaric aggression that made Zhen Yao's cavalry fall short.

    Looking at the front of the military formation, where the corpses of Chang'an soldiers were lying, Zhen Yao raised his eyebrows slightly and turned his head and said: "Since you have promised Dong Min in the city, let's lead the troops back to the camp first, so as not to let the thieves say  We have no credibility whatsoever.¡±

    Lu Bu nodded, took one last look at the city of Chang'an, and turned his horse around: "Wolf Cavalry, retreat!" Red Rabbit was already defeated and died in the battle, and was buried in the south of Jinyang City by Lu Bu himself.  At this moment, Lu Bu was riding another blood-red horse.

    Lu Bu left with his soldiers, and Zhen Yao said: "Mengde, I want to attack the city, what do you think?"

    Cao Cao had a keen vision of the battlefield, nodded and said: "At this moment, the morale of the soldiers at the top of the city is low, it is the time to charge into the city."

    Zhen Yao smiled slightly, stared at Dong Min who was sweating faintly at the top of the city, and ordered in a deep voice: "The front army listens to the order, the shield soldiers cover it, and charge the city!"

    "Kill~~" the five thousand infantrymen of the front army shouted, divided into several columns, held ladders, pushed carts, and quickly approached the city head.

    "Archers come out, shoot to suppress!" When the infantry under his command were about a hundred steps closer to the city gate, the second order was issued.  They have been prepared for a long time, just waiting for the archer to loosen the bow string and release the arrow immediately upon command.

    The purpose of throwing bows and arrows is not to kill the enemy, but to disrupt the defense of the soldiers on the city head and provide cover for the infantry in front.  For a moment, the soldiers on the city head were dodging and fighting back, and it was already apparent thatChaos.

    The city was dangerous. Dong Min, who had previously wanted to defend the city with his soldiers, saw the flying arrows and arrows coming. How could he have the courage to stay any longer? He greeted Niu Fu who was next to him and was responsible for guarding the city.  They left the city under the escort of soldiers.

    "Sir, please save my Dong family." The war at the city gate escalated, and in Chang'an City, in Dong Bai's Weiyang Mansion, she, dressed in white, was kneeling in the front hall of the side room, crying non-stop.  Pleading.

    "There is no way to save people without boasting, but there is no way to save people." Sitting in the hall was a middle-aged scribe with a square crown on his head and gray robes. His eyes were half-squinted and he shook his head slowly.  Just from the vague gaps in his words, it can be seen that this person is still thinking.

    "The name "Xu" can make Dong Bai plead in such a low voice, and at the end of the Han Dynasty, the identity of this person is obvious. It is Jia Xu and Jia Wenhe, the poisonous men in history who "can disturb the heroes with just a few words".

    Dong Bai couldn't stop kowtowing, his forehead had long been red and swollen, and he kept whispering: "Sir, you are so talented, why don't you save my poor family? My Dong family has been prosperous since my grandfather. Don't you know that this situation has been caused?  The fault is not entirely my fault, Mr. Dong. Sir, please point me to a clear path so that I, Mr. Dong, can survive, then Bai'er will be satisfied."

    As Dong Bai said, Jia Xu, as a scholar in Kansai, naturally knew that the Dong family's situation was not entirely Dong Zhuo's fault, and he did not want to think about the complicated relationship between Kanto and Kansai.  There will be rights and wrongs.

    Seeing Dong Bai kneeling in front of him for a full stick of incense, Jia Xu's half-closed eyes suddenly opened: "It is impossible for the Dong family to defend Chang'an, but it is not impossible to protect the Dong family from destruction. You and  Rise up and listen to my words.¡±

    No one knew what Jia Xu said, but when they saw Dong Bai heading to the Taishi Mansion half an hour later with a hopeful look on his face, they knew that Jia Xu had indeed given Dong Bai a plan.

    Outside the city, although Zhen Yao directed the siege with great momentum, the city of Chang'an was strong and could not be captured overnight. Therefore, after half a day of siege with no results, he and Cao Cao summed it up and ordered the troops to withdraw back to the camp.

    That night, Zhen Yao was meditating in the big tent, while Ju Shou and Xu You stayed with him.  The dim candlelight glowed faintly, and it took a long time for Zhen Yao to speak: "Zi Yuan, Gong Yu, if we prepare for the worst, what kind of situation will we face tomorrow?"

    "I'm not afraid that Thief Dong will stick to his defense. I'm just afraid that he will threaten the emperor's life." Jushuo shook his head helplessly: "If the emperor really makes any mistake, my lord will be responsible for forcing the emperor to death for the rest of his life." After saying this, the expressions of the three people in the tent changed.  None of them look good.

    Zhen Yao himself was thinking about this. Dogs will jump over walls when they are anxious. What can't people do when they are anxious?  Now many ministers in the city have been killed by Dong Min, and the emperor's life is also in his hands.  If he was determined to let the emperor accompany him to his funeral, how would he respond?

    Xu You thought for a long time and finally said: "Lord, maybe the situation is not that bad. If you don't want to try to persuade Dong Min to surrender tomorrow, you should calm down Dong Min first and then make a decision."

    Zhen Yao frowned deeply. There were too many constraints and too many considerations in sending troops to Chang'an. If he was not careful, he would end up in a doomed situation.  And just like Dong Zhuo, he, Zhen Yao, is now in a difficult situation. How to rescue Emperor Xian, Zhen Yao still can't think of a perfect strategy.

    Unable to think about it and unable to sleep, Zhen Yao and the other three stayed up until late at night with candles lit before yawning and extinguishing the candles to rest.  When Zhen Yao got up at dawn the next day, Zhang Fei strode over and said, "My lord, an envoy from the emperor is here."

    "Chang'an envoy?" Zhen Yao was puzzled, but he still nodded and said: "Invite people into the Chinese army's tent, and call in Meng De and Fengxian."

    Hearing that an envoy was coming from the city, Cao Cao and Lu Bu quickly arrived at the Chinese military tent. The envoy was an old eunuch from the palace. While crying, he talked about the emperor's current situation, and said that yesterday, Dong Min had entered the palace to meet the emperor.  It was discussed that if he wanted to save his life, he would send people to invite the princes who were attacking the city into the city, so that he could consider sending the emperor out of Chang'an.

    This was a naked threat, but Zhen Yao and Cao Cao had no room to refuse, because once they refused, Dong Min would literally burn Chang'an down without hesitation. Anyway, there was an emperor accompanying him to death, so this deal was absolutely guaranteed.  Not a loss.

    But if he agrees and enters the city with only a few trusted generals and a small group of troops, then he still has to let Dong Min have the final say, and he will have no initiative at all.  So Zhen Yao couldn't help but hesitate, what should he do.

    "Cao, I would like to follow the envoy into the city!" While Zhen Yao was hesitating, Cao Cao spoke.  Compared to Zhen Yao, Cao Cao didn't have too many worries.  Outside the city, he had no chance of winning against Zhen Yao, the most powerful enemy competing for the emperor. Inside the city, he was also at a disadvantage.  So since I don¡¯t have a choice anyway, I might as well just nod my head.

    Cao Cao nodded in agreement, and Zhen Yao could only nod: "When Yao and his subordinate Wen Wu give instructions, then you can do whatever you want."You enter the city.  "

    "Yide, Zilong, and Zhenduan, you three will lead more than a hundred personal guards and follow me into the city." Returning to his tent, Zhen Yao summoned all the civil and military personnel and ordered: "Gongming, Wenyuan,  You two stay in the camp, and you must be careful. Ziyuan, Gongyu, and you two also stay in the camp. The city is dangerous and only you and others can enter without permission."

    "Promise!" Everyone responded in unison. Although Xu Huang was a little disappointed that he could not follow Zhen Yao, he also understood that the camp outside the city was the guarantee of his lord's safety, and the task on his shoulders was not light.

    Cao Cao also gave an explanation to the troops he brought with him. He took two bodyguards, Xu Chu and Dian Wei, and a group of soldiers, and then met Zhen Yao outside the camp. Following the envoy from Chang'an, they headed towards Chang'an City.

    Lu Bu wanted to go with him, but he had already stopped intervening in the Chang'an war during yesterday's battle, so Dong Min didn't give him a chance to enter the city.  In this way, Lu Bu could only stay in the camp and wait quietly.

    After Zhen Yao left, Ju Shou and Xu You deduced the purpose of Dong Min's move, because just by recruiting Zhen Yao and Cao Cao into the city, Dong Min did not dare to kill anyone, and he had no way to get rid of the current situation of certain death.  bureau.  However, everything is unexpected, and Ju Shou could only think of it after Zhen Yao entered Chang'an City.

    "My lord, my lord should not enter the city, it's dangerous, it's dangerous!" Suddenly thinking of a possibility, Jushou shouted urgently, startling Xu You and Xu Huang who were sitting next to him.

    Jushou never makes a mistake, so Xu You quickly asked: "Did Gongyu have something in mind?"

    "Dong Min must have a capable person to help him. This time he recruited the lord to Chang'an, it must be the plan set up by that person." Jushou broke into cold sweat on his head, and said with a bitter look: "You just need to think about it, if the traitor Dong conspires with Cao Mengde,  Can the lord find a place to stay in the city?"

    Xu Huang was confused by Ju's question and couldn't help but wonder: "Cao Cao is an ally of the lord, how could he conspire with the Dong thief?"

    "Yes, yes." Xu You also understood at this time, stood up with a 'chun' sound, and gritted his teeth and said: "If Thief Dong is willing to secretly hand over the emperor to Cao Cao, but due to the power of the lord, the open struggle will be fruitless,  Cao Mengde will not refuse to agree."

    Xu Huang¡¯s eyes stared straight at him. If it was really like what the two gentlemen said, then my lord, wouldn¡¯t this entry into the city be a sheep¡¯s way of sending a tiger¡¯s mouth?

    "That's not the case." After thinking about it, Ju Shou could vaguely guess: "If something happens to the Lord, even if Dong Min loses the protective umbrella of the Emperor, Cao Cao will not do anything to him, because Cao Cao needs someone to protect him.  Wuji¡¯s revenge.¡±

    "In this way, Dong Min has no fear of his life for the time being, but if the lord dies, Jizhou will definitely be in chaos, and even Qing, Xu, Si, You and other places will fall apart again. In this way, what can Wuji do?  Revenge against Chang'an?"

    "Even if he can capture Chang'an, Dong Min will have enough time to plan his escape. Who is the person who designed the good plan or the poisonous plan? Could it be that Li Ru is not ill, but secretly in charge of Chang'an?"

    Jushu immediately analyzed Jia Xu¡¯s plan for Dong Bai, but there were still some differences in how to deal with the aftermath, and he didn¡¯t guess who the designer was.  But these are not the main things. The most important thing is, how is my lord doing now?  And what can he and others do to ensure that the master's life is safe.

    At this time, Xu Huang's role was revealed. He was as calm as he was, not too impatient, but when he spoke, he couldn't help but have a bit of murderous intent: "Two military advisors, what should Huang do? It's time to lead the troops into Chang'an at this moment.  , or deal with Cao Cao¡¯s troops first?¡±

    Xu You closed his eyes and let out a long sigh, then shook his head and said: "The troops and horses cannot move for the time being. General Fengxian will be invited later. No matter what, we must be fully prepared to deal with it."

    "In addition," after thinking for a moment, Jushou said, "I think there will be changes in Chang'an City in the past few days. I sent out soldiers and horses in the city to spread all over Chang'an without any slack. I also sent people to secretly monitor the officers and soldiers in Cao's camp.  If there is any abnormality, we will never tolerate it.¡±

    Just as Ju Shou finished speaking, Xu You added: "If it is You, we will definitely attack inside and outside the city at the same time, indicating that if we really get to that point, we will choose to divide our troops into two groups, one side will wipe out the soldiers of Cao's camp, and the other side will attack the city gate."  Save the Lord."

    This is also the advantage of top counselors. They are not surprised by changes and can quickly make the most reasonable response.  Xuhuang listened and nodded at the moment, and sent someone to Lu Bu's house to find him.

    After a while, Lu Bu and Zhang Liao came together. After they listened to Jushu's analysis and judgment, Lu Bu was so angry that he wanted to lead his troops to attack Cao Ying, but Zhang Liao held on to his lord and tried to persuade him.  .

    "My lord, the Zhou Mu may not be in danger." Zhang Liao stopped Lu Bu and said, "Both General Zhao and General Zhang are brave enough. If they were outside the city, they might not be able to save the life of the Zhou Mu. But inside the city  The streets and alleys are complicated, and there are twoThe general escorts and a group of elite personal guards want to send away, but even if ten thousand people are killed, it may not be possible.  "

    "What Wen Yuan said is true, and Professor also has this thought." Jushou nodded. If not for this, he would not have stayed in the tent so "calmly" to discuss countermeasures.

    Let¡¯s not mention the arrangements and thoughts of Ju Shou and others outside the city, but after entering the city, Zhen Yao and Cao Cao moved into two houses respectively.  When Zhen Yao proposed to meet Dong Min, he was rejected by the Chang'an soldiers guarding their residence on the grounds that Dong Min was not free now.

    After inspecting the residence, Zhen Duan came to the courtyard and said, "Lord, there are at least five hundred soldiers guarding this courtyard."

    "Five hundred soldiers," Zhen Yao said with a mocking look on his face, shaking his head: "It seems that Dong Min doesn't welcome us very much."

    Zhao Yun looked around, and suddenly whispered: "Master, now that we have entered the city, what should we do?"

    Zhen Yao broke off a small branch from the courtyard and made a sign on the sand: 'Secretly taking the opportunity to enter the palace'.  After writing, wipe the handwriting clean immediately.

    Zhang Fei and Zhao Yun nodded slightly after reading it. It¡¯s just that it¡¯s easy to write these six characters, but it¡¯s really difficult to do them.  Zhen Yao only had this plan, but he didn't think about how to meet the emperor.  Or how to face the emperor after meeting him?

    Throwing away the small branch in his hand, Zhen Yao stood up and sighed: "Go to bed early today. Come with me to visit Chang'an City tomorrow. Since you are here, just relax."

    That night, the soldiers reported the actions of Zhen Yao and Cao Cao back to the Dong Mansion. When he learned that the two were just resting in the house arranged by him, Dong Min nodded with relief.  However, seeing Dong Bai's haggard face and red and swollen forehead, she couldn't bear it again. Her granddaughter had grown up. If it hadn't been for her, maybe she would have died with the emperor.

    The next day, Zhen Yao didn't get up until three o'clock in the morning. After getting up, he called Zhao Yun, Zhang Fei and more than ten personal guards to leave the house.  Dong Min did not restrict his freedom, but wherever he went, there were hundreds of secret soldiers following him.

    Nothing was getting better on the streets of Chang'an, and even the 'local specialty' Zhen Yao wasn't interested at all. But when he saw a restaurant called 'Lulu Ke', his eyes lit up and he waved: "Come on, follow me in and take a look."  Look, look at how different this restaurant is compared to my "Tianranju"!  "
