Chapter Thirty-Six: The Heavens Fall
Wei Zi's death was extremely desolate under the correspondence of Yanbei, Sun Jian, and Cao Cao's triumphs. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 But the defeat in the battle with Lu Bu in the Revolving Gate Pass did not dampen the enthusiasm of the Kanto heroes.
What really hit their morale seriously was that Luoyang was destroyed by a fire.
They were originally so close to the goal of this army, as long as they broke through the revolving gate pass and marched west to the land of a county, they would be able to attack under Luoyang City, so that the world could see the strength of the Dong coalition army. But now, the majestic Luoyang City in their memories is blazing, and perhaps when they enter the west, the once prominent imperial city has become a ruin.
The emperor is gone, and Luoyang is gone.
So what's the point of them fighting westward? Do you really want to raise troops to fight in Chang'an?
They are not even willing to send troops to fight Henan Yin, where can they be willing to gather troops to fight in Chang'an...... What's more, even if they are willing, can they fight through so many passes from Luoyang to Chang'an?
Therefore, although all the princes of the Kwantung region moved to the revolving gate, they could not say anything about the military affairs, and they did not want to forge ahead. Of course, they did not want to make progress, in fact, this loose alliance was originally to achieve Yuan's desire to control the court by crusading against Dong Zhuo.
Dong Zhuo first killed the Yuan family, making it difficult for Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu to be alone, and then burned Luoyang...... Even Yuan Shao, the leader of the alliance, had no idea of going to Luoyang, let alone those places under him who were too guarded.
Yanbei was very angry.
He is angry not that Yuan Shao and others are not enterprising, but that he is angry that Han Fu is two hundred and five!
He Yan was fighting in front of him, and finally captured the revolving gate, Han Fu actually wanted to cut off his grain and grass in the back, these days the grain and grass sent from Jizhou is getting less and less, and the whole July is enough to send enough food until mid-August, how can this work.
In another three or two months, the weather will turn cold, and when the weather is cold, can the Jizhou soldiers continue to transport grain for him? Obviously, Han Fu also has a little idea in his heart, although I don't know for what reason, Yan Bei realized that Han Fu didn't want this battle to continue until next year.
This is exactly what makes Yanbei angry. If Han Fu's Jizhou has no food, then it doesn't matter, he will find a way. The problem now is that Jizhou has just harvested this year's spring wheat, and it is the time when there is no land for the abundance of grain, but Han Fu does not plan to send people to supply him with winter grain and grass.
What does he want to do? Waiting for someone Yan to go back and chop up the grain from Jizhou himself?
Yanbei sent Tai Shi Ci to urge food, but Tai Shi Ci got the news from Han Fu that Han Wenjie was drinking in Yuan Benchu's camp.
Rumble!
Yan Bei kicked over the case, grinning in the camp and wanting to scold, but he didn't know what to scold, and finally had to pick up the scattered books again in anger, and sat on the couch with his legs straight and thinking left and right.
"Changwen, you help me think about it, how did Han Wenjie get together with Yuan Benchu?"
This feeling made Yan Bei feel like he had been betrayed, you Han Wenjie asked Yan to help you guard against Yuan Shao, Yan was here to guard against it, but you old boy and Yuan Shao sat behind and went to drink!
Said to be a good alliance of the Hidden Alliance?
Do you still want to cut off my food and grass?
Chen Qun, who was sitting on the side, had a bitter face, why did General Yan ask me such a question? Cautiously asked, "The general doesn't seem to like the original?" ”
Yan Bei raised his eyes and looked at Chen Qun, knowing that he had asked the wrong person, these people had worked together since they were children, and their understanding and friendship were far better than themselves. He is here to talk to Chen Qun about Han Fu and Yuan Shao, what is the matter?
"Let me put it another way, how can I let Hangeun Festival continue to give me food and grass now?"
Yan Bei bit his back molars and raised his neck, his eyebrows were not good. He is now riding a tiger is difficult, originally thought about the crusade against Dong Zhuo very simply, he is not afraid of fighting, it is nothing more than to fight in Luoyang, he is not afraid! But after a thousand calculations, he, like those Kwantung princes, didn't expect Dong Zhuo to burn all the 200 miles of Luoyang!
From the revolving gate pass to the Tong pass, they didn't even have a city that they could defend, and the war was already even more difficult. If there is another problem with the grain and grass in the rear, can this battle still be fought?
But he Yanbei can't help but fight, he went out of Youzhou to resist public opinion and even persuade Liu Yu to agree, so he sent troops south, and now he has captured the revolving gate pass, if he turns back, what is the difference between him and those cowards and rats that he looks down on?
There can be no difference.
Yan is not a rat, let alone a coward. Since he has already decided to raise troops to fight against Dong, even if the armies retreat, even if the soldiers and horses are exhausted, even if the sky falls, he will be unswerving!
Could it be that the enthusiasm of the good men has all been wiped out along with the picture of the chickens and dogs?
"General, please forgive me for speaking bluntly, the idea of crusading against Dong Zhuo was first put forward by Yuan Benchu, and the Yuan family now has a blood feud with Dong Zhongying...... If Yuan Ben was unwilling to ask Dong in the first place, why should the general serve his courage in vain? ”
"The idea of crusading against Dong Zhuo was first put forward by Yuan Benchu? Hahaha! Yan Bei almost burst into tears when he heard Chen Qun's words, and asked Chen Qun: "Dong Ming was proposed by Bao Yuncheng, Cao Mengde, Zang Ziyuan and others, what did Yuan Ben do in the first place?" ”
"Huh?" Chen Qun was stunned for a moment, and after thinking about it, he asked, "Then why is the alliance leader Yuan Benchu?" ”
Yan Bei looked at Chen Qun playfully and asked, "Do you think Yan can be the leader of the alliance?" ”
Chen Qun thought about it, and it was actually Yan Bei who nodded very unexpectedly and said, "I think General Yan is enough to be the leader of the alliance." ”
Just heard Yan Bei's question, Chen Qun also felt that it was a joke, how could Yan Zhongqing have the ability to be the leader of the Dong Alliance. But on the contrary, after thinking about it carefully, there seems to be nothing wrong with Yanbei being the leader of the alliance. Xingyang, Pinggao, Chenggao, Bishui, Bianshui, and Revolving Gate Pass are all the credit of Yanbei. The entire Dong coalition army is a two-way army, and now all the cities of the alliance in Yin, Henan are all fought by Yanbei, but Liangxian on the south road is the credit of Yuan Shu and Sun Jian.
Why can't Yanbei be the leader of the alliance?
And on the other hand, those alliance leaders, and the various nobles and relatives who are too guarded by the history of assassination, what did they do? Gather like annoying flies to spend their days in the emptiness of sour dates, Liu Dai also killed Qiao Mao for his own selfish desires, and asked Dong for major things, and he was still idle and energetic in infighting!
"It's just that if the general is the leader of the alliance, I'm afraid that his influence in the land of Kanto will be far worse than Yuan Shao's, and I'm afraid that only Cao Mengde, Sun Wentai and others will respond. By the way, there is also Yuan Highway, his temperament should also be fully supportive of the general. ”
Chen Qun pondered carefully about the feasibility of Yan Bei being the leader of the alliance, and when he raised his head, he found that Yan Bei was looking at him with a dull face, and even his words were a little knotted, and he said slowly: "No, Changwen you, you will be wrong about Yan's meaning." Yan wanted to say, this ...... At that time, none of the people who initiated the righteous army had the prestige of Yuan Benchu's original encounter, so he was the leader of the alliance. It's not that Yan has the heart to be the leader of the alliance! ”
This Chen Changwen is too realistic, and he really thinks about whether Yan can be the leader of the alliance...... Who, who's going to be the hellish alliance leader!
Immersing oneself in beating Dong Zhuo is the right thing.
Chen Qun saw Yan Bei's embarrassment and smiled lightly. These days, he greatly admires and admires what Yanbei has done, and the pace of the coalition army's westward attack is from the handwriting of the people in front of him. Even in the entire month of the discussion of Dong, it was almost Yanbei alone who fought against Dong, and the generals under his command had fought with various generals of Dong Zhuojun.
Incidentally, Chen Qun also felt a little contempt for the Kwantung princes behind his buttocks, if he had never had such thoughts before. Chen Qun said to Yanbei: "Since the general is surprised that Han Wenjie does not give grain and grass, why don't you go directly and ask Han Envoy Jun, Yuan's more than 80 mouths are all in Chang'an, and Han Envoy Jun may just be relieved." ”
Relieved Yuan Shao? Yuan Shao still uses relief?
Yan Bei did not think that the rumors in the army that Yuan Shao had vomited blood for days after receiving the news that all the Yuan family had been beheaded by Dong Zhuo were true. If this kind of news is true, Yuan Shao didn't step up his efforts to send soldiers and horses to the front line to fight Dong Zhuo to the death, but he had already shrunk back and had nothing to do all day long?
"Okay, I'll go meet Han Wenjie and ask him what the hell is going on!"
Yan Bei's senses for Han Fu are not bad now, but they are not as good as before, and he is even unwilling to work with Han Fu anymore. Han Fu didn't know where he should stand, and he always swayed and wanted to be offended...... This is not the character that Yanbei likes.
With Chen Quntai Shici, Yanbei went all the way to Han Fu's camp. The manpower brought by Han Fu was only 1,200 people, and the camp was pitifully smaller than Yanbei, and these camp guards all knew who Yanbei was, so they naturally hurriedly reported.
At this time, Han Fu had already returned from Yuan Shao's camp, and hurriedly came out to greet Yanbei with the messengers, welcoming Yanbei with a smile on his face.
"Brother Wenjie, there has been less military rations recently, and I'm afraid it won't be enough to prepare for winter." No matter how Yan Bei thought about it in his heart, his expression at the moment was not much anger, as if he was still as close as before and asked, "So I came to visit you to ask, what's going on?" ”
"General, you came just in time, I went to Yuan Benchu just now, and they didn't want to fight again." Han Fu sat closer to Yanbei with a deep sense of joy, and said very heartily: "I was about to send someone to tell you that there was a further big move at the beginning!" ”
"Oh? Don't want to fight anymore? Yan Bei was actually very angry in his heart, but he still suppressed his anger and asked lukewarmly: "Then he, what are you going to do?" ”
"General, next Luoyang and even Chang'an, is it easy to fight? Two hundred miles of scorched earth, I'm afraid it's not easy, right? So if Dong Zhuo wants to fight east, is it easy to fight? According to the revolving gate, the Liangzhou soldiers are advancing eastward, I'm afraid it's not easy, right? ”
The joy on Han Fu's face was even stronger, but Yan Bei was impatient, and the mention of the war made him upset, and asked with a cold face, "What do you want to say?" ”
"Don't worry, don't worry, this is a great thing for the general!" Han Fu looked left and right with a flattering smile, and whispered in Yan Bei's ear: "What are they going to do...... Gongwei Youzhou Liu Bo'an is the emperor! ”
