The court meeting was over, and the ministers dispersed.

Xu Rong hurriedly caught up with Huangfu Song.

"General Huangfu......" Xu Rongfei dismounted and bowed, "The last general has something to ask." ”

Huangfu Song stopped at the horse, glanced at him, then slowly dismounted, patted him on the shoulder, and said, "What do you want to ask, I know." Is it difficult for you to understand? ”

Xu Rong nodded, looked around, and then asked in a low voice, "Why is Wang Situ in a hurry to deal with Northern Xinjiang?" ”

Huangfu Song sighed and said, "Zilie, you are from Northern Xinjiang, and Wang Situ is also from Northern Xinjiang, but you have a completely different place, do you know?" ”

Xu Rong thought for a moment and shook his head.

"You are a martial artist, and Wang Situ is a scholar." Huangfu Song whispered, "Do you understand now?" ”

Xu Rong lowered his head and thought for a while, and said suspiciously: "General Huangfu, the hussar general is loyal, and he has made great achievements for the Han Dynasty to expand his territory and defend the frontier, and his meritorious achievements are ......."

Huangfu Song interrupted him with a wave of his hand and said: "It has been more than two years since the Son of Heaven moved west to Chang'an, for such a long time, why didn't he attack Guanzhong to fight King Dong Qin, but instead went to Luoyang and Jizhou, why?" ”

Xu Rong was speechless, as if he had an understanding.

"Wang Situ's original intention was good, but the timing and method were wrong." Huangfu Song said helplessly, "If he can be as patient as killing Dong Zhuo, why is the big man worried?" ”

Now that Guanzhong is not stable, Wang Situ immediately abolished the Quanzhou Imperial Court and ordered Yue Fei to attack Niu Fu with the decree of the Son of Heaven, the purpose of which was obviously to weaken Li Yi's authority and consume the strength of the Northern Xinjiang Army. But by doing so, it was tantamount to announcing in disguise that the imperial court was going to deal with Li Yi after killing Dong Zhuo. Wang Situ is asking for his own death. ”

………………

In early April, Hongnong County, Kansai, Shaanxi.

The imperial decree was delivered to the camp in Shaanxi.

Yue Fei opened the holy decree, and his face suddenly changed drastically.

Dong Zhuo is dead? How can it be?

Yue Fei was dumbfounded, and his heart beat wildly. This is a scam, a scam carefully designed by Dong Zhuo.

Who can kill Dong Zhuo? Dong Zhuo holds the authority and has 100,000 male soldiers under his command, who in the court has the ability to kill Dong Zhuo? Assassination? More unlikely. It is rumored that when Dong Zhuo travels, there are thousands of iron horsemen and tiger ben in front and behind, and ordinary people can't get within ten steps of him. In today's world, no one can kill Dong Zhuo.

Yue Fei carefully picked up the holy decree and carefully examined the seal of the Son of Heaven on the yellow silk. It is true that it is the emperor's letter seal used by the Son of Heaven to send troops, but now that Dong Zhuo has the power alone, and the emperor's seal is in his hands, this holy decree must be Dong Zhuo's edict. The Son of Heaven and the Chang'an Imperial Court have become Dong Zhuo's tools for usurpation, which is the consensus of the people of the world. This decree has no effect, and the Minister of Civil and Military Affairs of Northern Xinjiang only listens to the eldest princess and the hussar general, and will not obey the orders of anyone else.

But what is the purpose of Dong Zhuo's sudden edict to me? What does he want to do? Attack Hedong or continue to attack Kansai?

April has arrived, Hedong is spring ploughing, if Dong Zhuo secretly transfers the army on the Kansai battlefield to the direction of Pubanjin at this time, Hedong may be lost.

Yue Fei dropped the holy decree and hurriedly opened the flying pigeon biography of Chang Yuchun.

Chang'an had two messengers to Hedong this time, one went north to Quanzhou and the other south to Kansai. The messenger who went to Kansai to proclaim the decree was escorted by Chang Yuchun. Chang Yuchun said in his letter that although Duan Xuan and Bao Hong's army had recently stopped attacking, according to scouts, the camp of the Xiliang army on the other side of the river was gradually growing, and the Xiliang army seemed to have signs of increasing its troops.

Dong Zhuo took advantage of the main force of the Northern Xinjiang Army to attack Hedong when it attacked Jizhou, which was expected in Northern Xinjiang, and Dong Zhuo had no need to do any tricks to paralyze me at this time.

What happened to Chang'an?

If the Western Liang Army captures Hedong, the northern frontier will be in danger, should I immediately launch an attack on Niu Fu in order to contain and delay Dong Zhuo's attack on Hedong?

Yue Fei sat behind the desk, his thick eyebrows were deeply locked, a pair of big hands were clasped together, and his two thumbs were rubbing each other, feeling anxious.

Xun You, Zhong Xuan, Zhang Fei, Zhang He, Huang Zhong, Wei Yan, Li Zhong, Li Xin and others hurriedly approached the big tent.

Yue Fei spread the holy decree on the table and let the generals look at it one by one.

"Look at it, this is a holy decree sent by Chang'an." Yue Fei pointed to the vermilion seal on the holy decree, "The holy decree is true, but is this thing true?" Dong Zhuo suddenly cheated to death, what does it mean? ”

"Dong Zhuo is dead?" Zhang Fei was incredulous, and then he couldn't help laughing, "It's good to be dead, we can fight Chang'an if we die, and we can save the Son of Heaven and revitalize Sheji." Haha......"

"Wing, you mean to say that this is true?" Zhang He also asked with a smile, "Dong Zhuo was killed?" ”

"Isn't it clear in the decree? Situ Wang Yun carefully planned and killed Dong Zhuo in one fell swoop. Zhang Fei laughed so much that tears came out, "Haha...... Dong Zhuo is really funny. Did he drink too much and be happy for a while, and make us poor? ”

Wei Yan snorted coldly, a pair of big thick black eyebrows trembled violently up and down, and said in a deep voice: "Dong Zhuo is too deceitful. If you want to fight a decisive battle, just call Niu Fu to fight, can you tease us like this? ”

He smashed his fist on the desk and said loudly: "General Yue, let's attack Hongnong City immediately, and give Dong Fatzi a little color to see." He thought that the general was fighting Jizhou, so we didn't dare to fight on two fronts? ”

"Bullshit......" Huang Zhong scoffed, "Dong Fatzi is still childlike, and he really knows how to have fun." We beat him and see if he was happy. ”

"Can't fight." Xun You shook his hand and said, "At present, the situation in Kansai is under our control, and a rash attack will destroy the favorable situation in front of us and have an adverse impact on the Jizhou battlefield." The goal of the Kansai operation has been achieved, and as long as we stabilize this stalemate now, we will be able to buy enough time for the Jizhou battlefield. We listen to the lord and cannot take the initiative. ”

"I also agree with Gongda." "Now that the situation in Gyeonggi is critical, and major changes may occur at any time, our attention should be on Luoyang, not Chang'an," Zhong said. ”

Zhong Xuan immediately analyzed the situation in Gyeonggi in detail.

At the end of last month, Liu Biao led his army to attack Nanyang, and Yuan Shu met him, and the two sides fought fiercely in Chaoyang and Xinye.

At the beginning of this month, Yuan Tan, Gao Gan, Han Hao and others were invited by Cheng Jing, the minister of Liang State, and Xu Xuan, the Taishou of Runan, to suddenly kill Chen Guo under the pretext of attacking and killing the Yellow Turban Army. Chen Guoxiang Xu Jing was outnumbered and hurriedly asked for help from Sun Ben, the assassin of Yuzhou. Sun An and Zhu Zhi immediately led their troops to the rescue, and the two sides fought fiercely in the Yingshui area. Yuan Shu suffered from the enemy on his back and complained bitterly.

At this time, Wei Yan had already led his army back to Luoyang, and the three generals Liu Xun, Liu Xiang, and Zhang Xun each led their troops to garrison the three passes of Yique, Yuyuan, and Dagu. Yuan Shu was reluctant to Luoyang, and he was unable to repel the two strong enemies, so he had to ask Zhu Jun and Yue Fei for help.

The resumption of war between Yuzhou and Jingzhou directly endangered the safety of Luoyang. Zhu Jun, the general of the cavalry, hurriedly recalled Zhou Hua's 10,000 troops and stationed them in the camp of the Northern Army in Changpingguan, Luoyang, as well as the four passes of Tiger Prison, Yique, Yuyuan, and Dagu. Liu Xun, Liu Xiang, and Zhang Xun were thus able to escape and lead their army south to help Sun Ben attack Yuan Tan.

"Now Wenchang's army is stationed in Hangu Pass, and we only have 20,000 troops in the area of Shaancheng and Mianchi." Zhong Xuan said, "If we forcibly attack Niu Fu, we will lose a lot of money. The army was damaged, and first of all, Hedong would be threatened from both the Guanzhong and Kanto directions, which was in great conflict with our Kansai strategy. ”

"The most important point of the Kansai strategy is to hold the Kansai and ensure that Hedong is not poisoned by war, so as to ensure the absolute stability of northern Xinjiang." Xun You rolled up the holy decree and spread out the map, "Before the army takes Jizhou, we must avoid and reduce the losses of the army as much as possible, which is the top priority of the Kansai strategy. ”

"Why do you agree that this decree is false?" Li Zhong suddenly said, "If Dong Zhuo is really dead, what if this holy decree is true?" ”

Zhang Fei glanced at him in surprise, and wanted to scold him when he opened his mouth, but when he saw Yue Fei, Xun You, Zhong Xuan and others nodding solemnly, he couldn't help it again, but he still said unconvinced: "If Dong Zhuo is really dead, Niu Fu will immediately enter Chang'an." ”

Li Zhong nodded and said, "Yes, that's why the Son of Heaven ordered General Yue to attack Niu Fu. ”

Li Zhong arched his hand and said to Yue Fei: "Should General Yue think about it, if this matter is true, Dong Zhuo was really killed by Wang Yun, how should we deal with it?" After all, this is related to the northern Xinjiang and the future of the lord and all of us, so we must think about it carefully. ”

No one in the tent spoke.

If Dong Zhuo is really killed, and this holy decree is true, then in the future, Yue Fei will be charged with resisting the decree, and the lord and the generals sitting in the big tent today will be implicated.

Although if you don't obey the order, you won't be killed, but if Niu Fu really enters Chang'an, and the Son of Heaven is killed or held hostage again, then Yue Fei's guilt is not just for disobeying the order.

Yue Fei was silent, his hands crossed together, rubbing them constantly.

"Pengju, do you think you told Zhu Jun about this?" Xun You whispered, "Attacking Niufu requires sufficient troops, but judging from the current situation in Gyeonggi, Zhu Jun will not be able to assist us in the short term." We can take the opportunity to spread the word about it, make a gesture of aggression, and if anything happens in the future, we can also push it off. In addition, we can also take the opportunity to delay the time to determine the truth of this matter and calmly make a decision. ”

Yue Fei pondered for a long time, read and looked at the holy decree, and then said to Xun You: "Gongda, immediately fly the pigeon to pass the book to the lord, tell the matter in detail, and ask the lord to reply immediately." Secondly, write to Chang Yuchun and ask him to be careful. If Dong Zhuo attacks Hedong with the main force, please ask him to ask us for help immediately. Then write a document for the eldest princess and the eldest princess's mansion, I want to know the attitude of the eldest princess and the court. Finally, please go to Luoyang in person and ask Zhu Jun for help. ”

"Hansheng, you take 10,000 people to cross the river to Hebei City immediately. Yuan Chang, you took the warship and accompanied Hansheng to the west. Yue Fei pointed to the map and said, "If the main force of the Western Liang Army attacks Hedong, you will support Chang Yuchun." If Dong Zhuo is really dead, Niu Fu wants to attack Chang'an, and after you receive my order, you will cross the river and attack Hongnong City. ”

Yue Fei suddenly spread out his hands, looked at everyone, smiled slightly, and said, "Shall we make a bet?" Is Dong Zhuo dead or alive? (To be continued.) )
