Chapter 432: The Major Event of the Third Year of the First Peace (Explosion 5)
At the end of October in the winter of the third year of Chuping, a major event occurred that caused turmoil in the entire thirteen states of the Han Dynasty.
And this year was indeed a turbulent year, with many major events that shook the world one after another, which also shook the Han Dynasty:
Gongsun Chan and Yuan Shao's general Koji Yi fought at the boundary bridge, defeated, the general Yan Gang died, and then Dong Zhuo sent an envoy to persuade peace, Gongsun Chan and Yuan Shao quit the army, and Liu Bei led the plain because of his military exploits;
Yanzhou Mu Liu Dai attacked the Yellow Turban and died, Cao Cao broke the Yellow Turban and led the Yanzhou Mu. After completely defeating the Qingzhou Yellow Turban Army, it was incorporated into the "Qingzhou Soldiers", claiming to have 300,000 soldiers and looking at one side;
Wang Yun set up a series of schemes, and Lu Bu killed Dong Zhuo; Chang'an was in turmoil, and the Xiongnu attacked Chang'an in Fuluo, and then fled to Luoyang; Yongzhou herded horses beyond Chang'an, set fire to the dock, and then Fufeng greatly promoted the imperial examination, stirring the hearts of the world's poor people;
However, these major events finally made Ma Chao put a bigger exclamation mark on him in the winter of the third year of Chuping: the Ma family sent more than 46,000 elite soldiers to besiege Chang'an. Under the order, the 300,000 warriors of the Qiang tribe are also a sign of being ready to move, faintly subordinate to the Ma family, protecting the two wings of the Ma family's army, and showing the north corner of Chang'an with the momentum of overwhelming the mountains and seas......
This time, Ma Chao personally served as the commander-in-chief, playing the banner of 'supporting the imperial power and clearing the monarch', and the troops were monstrous. When Situ Wang Yunwen heard the letter, he urgently dispatched Jingzhao and Feng Yi to aid Chang'an, and at the same time issued a large number of articles, calling on the heroes of the Kwantung region to fight against Ma Chao's rebels. However, in Chang'an, the general of Fenwu Lu Bu did not send troops to defend against the enemy on the grounds that his injuries had not healed. The two generals, Xu Rong and Dong Cheng, strictly obeyed Liu Xie's holy decree and led the forbidden army to defend Weiyang Palace.
But when everyone thought that the Ma family was going to enter Chang'an, and rumors were rampant in the market, Ma Jiajun's actions were very disappointing. The thunder was absolutely loud and the rain was small, and apart from camping outside Chang'an City, there was not a single substantial attack in three days.
Moreover, according to the news from the people of Chang'an, the Ma family camp also set up wine and sang every day, and the Han and Qiang clans held bonfires every night to cheer up. It's not like the brutality of the raider Chang'an, on the contrary, it seems to be more like a training exercise for pulling troops to go on an outing.
"Lord Situ, that is the Ma family's heavily armored iron horse, Your Majesty's five hundred six-horse heavy chariots actually couldn't break through their formation, but they also destroyed more than 300 planes and captured more than 100 planes back to Fufeng ......." Huang Wanding, the former lieutenant of Sili, said with a hint of irrepressible panic in his tone.
Since Dong Zhuo's death, those scholars who conspired with Dong Zhuo were rescued by Wang Yun and reused. And Huang Wan is now a general of Wuwei, in charge of all the soldiers and horses in the entire Gyeonggi except for the wolf cavalry of Bingzhou and the forbidden army of the tiger in the palace.
However, after the Chang'an Rebellion before, although Wang Yun ordered the recruitment of soldiers, he only recruited a few thousand. Coupled with the private soldiers and the old soldiers of Chang'an that Wang Yun had called before, there were barely enough 20,000 people to guard the Vermilion Bird City Gate. And the scene of the Majia camp under the city being endless and the Qiang tent covering the sky and the sun, Wang Yun couldn't help but secretly chill in his heart.
"It's been three days, have the Kwantung princes received the message?" Wang Yun was wrapped in a heavy robe, standing on top of this towering city tower, and couldn't help but sigh at the cold wind, blowing his heart without a trace of heat........
"Situ ......." Zheng Tai has now also been promoted and has become Wang Yun's confidant, serving as Shang Shuling. But at this time, his face was not as prosperous as a few days ago, but he replied painfully: "There are Huns hoarding in Luoyang, and the first line of Huayin and Mianchi is guarded by Dong Zhuo's old department. Something... I just want to send a text, but I can't send it! ”
"Lord Situ, it's better to forget about the Kanto heroes." Xun You said lightly, ignoring the unwillingness in Wang Yun's eyes, and continued: "There are at least 70,000 people in Dong Zhuo's old department, and now they are wandering left and right, and they don't dare to move lightly. But if the Kanto heroes send troops, they will naturally turn into mourning soldiers, and the trapped beasts are still fighting. And the Xiongnu rode unparalleled in the world, which plagued the Han Dynasty for hundreds of years, and the princes were even more reluctant to provoke. Not to mention ......."
"Far water can't quench the thirst of the near....... Wang Yun spit out these seven words slowly, as if the strength in his body was drained, and he looked back at everyone and said: "The old man originally thought that when Ma Chao abandoned and went to Chang'an, he knew the ambition of a certain kind of scholar. But he didn't want to, he was actually a beast that was even more fearless than Dong Zhuo....... Could it be that the ambition of a certain class is destined to be ruined in the hands of Sevufu here? ”
"Lord Situ can't be so ambitious and destroy his own prestige ......." Speaking of this, Huang Wan also felt blushing. After all, in the past three days, he has witnessed the majesty and neatness of the Ma Jiajun, as if it is an invincible and iron-blooded army. And these miscellaneous soldiers in Chang'an are not comparable with the Ma family army at all. Huang Wan even believed that as long as Ma Chao besieged it for a few more days, even if Chang'an had a heavy load of soldiers' rations, it would be self-defeating.
After all, under the psychological pressure of the soldiers coming to the city and no Austrian aid outside, the county soldiers in Chang'an have already lost a trace of fighting spirit. And people who absconded within three days abounded. Even the soldiers who are still standing on this wall today, their eyes looking at the Ma family camp are full of irrepressible fear.
As a result, Huang Wan hurriedly quickened his speech and said: "Ma Chao has not attacked Chang'an this time, presumably there must be a reason, as long as someone guesses this trick, then Ma Chao will definitely withdraw his troops back to Fufeng ......"
Wang Yun suddenly heard this, and his gray eyes suddenly lit up. He looked back at everyone, and finally locked his eyes on Xun You, and asked, "Gongda, why did you say that Ma Chao raised troops this time?" ”
Xun You's face was indifferent, but he said with a hint of suspicion: "Lord Situ, if Ma Chao really intends to enter Chang'an, then he can break through the palace in the first place. But he didn't. Moreover, the banner he played this time is still ......"
"Could it be? ......." Wang Yun's face turned red after Xun You's words fell, and even the cold wind couldn't blow away the anger in his heart: Ignorant child, he really colluded with the Ma family to suppress the scholars?! Dong Zhuo just died, and you forgot about this pain?!
"Ladies and gentlemen, this matter is Your Majesty'......" Wang Yun was extremely angry, and wanted to reprimand Liu Xie for his unconspiracy on the spot. But at this time, Xun You suddenly shouted: "Lord Situ, Your Majesty is sticking to Weiyang Palace, and it is a matter of loyalty and righteousness outside the city of a certain enemy, and it will be famous for eternity." Ma Chao is a chaotic minister and a thief, and everyone will be punished! ”
Wang Yun was stunned for a moment, but then he understood what Xun Yu meant: whether the scholars are in power or not, there is a bottom line that they can't interfere with. The word 'loyalty' runs through all the deeds and words of the scholars, which not only gives them an open and honest reason to participate in politics, but also makes them cautious in their words and deeds in some aspects, and cannot go beyond the thunder pool by half a step!
As a result, Wang Yun immediately shouted with his previous indignation: "Swear to defend Chang'an to the death, kill Ma Chao against the ......" Suddenly, Wang Yun stopped shouting, because he thought again: Although Ma Chao came with a request, he definitely had the strength to capture Chang'an. At this time, he is dormant here, and he is still peaceful. But if the slogan of 'killing Ma Chao' is really shouted, then Ma Jiajun will naturally .......
Thinking of this, Wang Yun immediately felt that he was filled with resentment, and he had never been so aggrieved in his life. In addition, he was old and frail, and he blew in the cold wind for more than an hour. Immediately, I felt that the world was spinning and my eyes were black, and I was completely stunned.......
And all the ministers and generals who were ready to echo Wang Yun on the side were dumbfounded for a while. After reacting, they rescued Wang Yun one after another. Only Xun You glanced at the Ma family's camp again, smiled secretly in his heart, but then changed his face to a worried look of Wang Yun, and blended into the group of ministers without a trace.
