The city of Chang'an was once again in chaos. Tens of thousands of soldiers of the Xiliang Army really couldn't imagine that Chang'an, which was held by tens of thousands of Xiliang Army, would fall so easily, and for a while, people were panicked, and their morale almost fell to the bottom.
For the four coalition forces that broke through the west gate of Chang'an, the breakthrough of the west gate of Chang'an was only the beginning, although it was worth celebrating, it was not yet time to be happy. After all, since Ma Teng Han Sui attacked Chang'an, the city was arranged by the two thieves of Li and Guo Yan, and there were more than 100,000 Xiliang iron cavalry. And the West Gate of Chang'an is narrow, even if the four coalition forces that have the upper hand in morale and combat power, it is easy to lead the whole army to attack, and it is no wonder that Li Dao and Guo Yan still have the mind to arrange the matter of holding the Son of Heaven and the ministers hostage after getting the news of the West Gate.
The sound of killing at the west gate shook the sky, and even the entire Chang'an City was in chaos.
"Be sure to break through the blockade, it's important to go to the rescue of the Son of Heaven first!" This was almost the most important order that the soldiers of Cao, Yuan, Ma and Han received at the same time. After all, the Xiliang army has a large number of people, and there are elite Flying Bear Army such as the same camp, Danyang soldiers, and Baima Yicong as the pillars, and the Kwantung Liangzhou coalition army that won the victory is enough to make the soldiers of the two sides fall into a stalemate in the street battle.
"The Xiliang thieves have gone, even a little resistance, and it will be difficult to stop our army from sweeping after all! Hmph, I haven't seen the Son of Heaven for a long time. Meng De, have you ever thought about what you would say when you met the Son of Heaven? "Yuan Shao's mood at this time is really good, Cao Cao and the other three families are greatly inferior to their own forces. As Cao Cao persuaded Yuan Shao when he was in Tongguan, when he really rescued the Son of Heaven, the one who benefited the most would inevitably be him Yuan Benchu. Therefore, even on this bloody battlefield, Yuan Shao didn't know what kind of thoughts he had, and he was still in the mood to laugh with Cao Cao.
"Don't be careless at first. The Xiliang army is cowering in the city, after all, there are still more than 100,000 elites, although we and the other four coalition forces have great righteousness to rely on. The power of breaking the door is also coerced, but it must not be taken lightly! Cao Cao's attention seemed to be on the battlefield, and at this time, nearly 10,000 soldiers used by the four coalition forces to attack the city had already firmly occupied a buffer outside the west gate of Chang'an for the army that had poured into Chang'an. Just wait for all the more than 100,000 troops to enter the city. At that time, it could be said that the overall situation had been decided, but Cao Cao was obviously not as generous as Yuan Shao, and he looked at the palace group in the north of Chang'an City with some apprehension, and said: "Although the two thieves of Li Dao and Guo Yan are not as bold and reckless as the national thief Dong Zhuo, they are also from the same source after all, and what Cao is most worried about is that these two thieves saw that they could not do anything and fled with the Son of Heaven. Then I'll have to go through this battle in vain. ”
"Be careful, Mendete! Where can the two thieves flee to? To the south through the land of Sanfu into Hanzhong? That is definitely the way to die, not to mention that there are several ways to hinder it. Just because most of them are cavalry, they will definitely not take the mountainous country of Shu and lose their own combat strength. Even if their combat power is still strong after dismounting, and they can break through a few passes and enter Shudi, the time when they break through the pass alone is enough for us to prepare troops to attack them and wipe out their entire army! And to the north is the boundary of my state, although this time I brought 10,000 cavalry, but there is still my son Yuan Tan guarding the state, thinking about the battle formation, that is, the combat power is not enough to resist these Xiliang thieves, but with the benefit of Huguan, it is not difficult to prevent it from going north to the Xiongnu! And ...... to the east, hum! Although he didn't care much about what he said, Yuan Shao was really taken aback by Cao Cao's words, and seemed to be talking to himself as if he was cheering himself up, and said to Cao Cao: "To the east, there is that little guy Qin Xu is there, and it is rumored that the little guy has some rules and regulations with soldiers, and he is very good at using the troops, and the 40,000 elites of Meng De that day are not as good as the traitors he led, this time there are more than 10,000 Xiliang troops left by Meng De, and there are more than 10,000 Xiliang troops left by Meng De, and there are thousands of people under my command Yan Liang who are guarding Tongguan as a heavy defense, I am afraid that even a Xiliang bird may not be able to fly past." Moreover, even if the two thieves really got out of Tongguan, there was absolutely no other place to go except Wancheng, which was located in the land of the four wars, and Wancheng itself was surrounded by Liu Jingsheng in Jingzhou, Zhang Gongqi in Hanzhong, and Cao Mengde in Yanzhou. ”
"What I thought was too idealistic, do you know what it means to be a trapped beast?" Cao Cao's attention seemed to be attracted by Yuan Shao, his eyes narrowed slightly, and he didn't care about the ridicule and sarcasm in Yuan Shao's words, as if he was thinking about what Yuan Shao said, and said: "If these two thieves are forced to flee to the north and south, Cao is not worried, with the original control of the state, and the high defense ability of Zhang Gongqi to resist Liu Junlang's Yizhou alone with a city in Hanzhong, if the two thieves go to these two places, although they can escape the temporary difficulty, but as you said at the beginning, it is definitely the way to die." But only to the east, but Cao was most worried. I am not afraid of your jokes at the beginning, Cao has been defeated by Qin Xu several times, although he hates it to the extreme, but he can really love it, if there is Qin Xu guarding Tongguan, Cao is absolutely assured, but Cao is most worried that General Yan, the general under the command of the primordial army, is already at odds with Qin Xu, without the original control, I am afraid that it will be bad, if the two thieves take the opportunity to go east, through Wuguan into Wancheng, it will be really bad. That Liu Jingsheng guarded the disciples, he didn't want to get involved with us, he would rather attack the highway of the Southern Xiongnu than offend Zhang Xiu's uncle and nephew who was actually in Wancheng, which is enough to see his heart, to say a big rebellious word, don't forget that if the Son of Heaven is 'lucky', the person closest to the blood of the first emperor is that Liu Jingsheng! As for the highway, with such an artifact in his hand, he is also eager to get out of his relationship, secretly accumulating strength, and longing for the Son of Heaven to die in the chaos of the army, how can he get involved in such a thing? Well, ......, don't take it seriously in the first place, maybe it's right at the beginning, the highway ......"
"Wait! Mengde! What did you say? Listening to Cao Cao's frowning analysis, he seemed to blurt out something about his cheap cousin Yuan Shu, and Yuan Shao's gaze immediately withdrew from the sword light and sword shadow in front of him. Seeing that Cao Cao seemed to realize that something was wrong and was secretive, Yuan Shao was even more suspicious. Cao Cao, who grabbed and wanted to go to Ma Teng Hansui, who was closest to the front line, said with a displeased face: "Meng De, we have been friends for more than 20 years, and you have always been good at deceiving Yu, but there is one thing, but you don't know, even if you and I were framed by you many times in the early years, we still befriend you. The reason is because you will never hide it from Yuan if you have a big event, why is it so involved in the highway this time? The highway is my brother. is also a member of the Yuan family, and the world is favored by the country, is it difficult to listen to what you say, will there be any disobedience? ”
"Don't force a certain in the beginning! You know, I waited when I was young. The highway is also friendly with a certain person. There is even a nickname called 'Luoyang Three Evils', which shows friendship, this matter, but this matter can never be said! Cao Cao looked deeply regretful for the loss of words just now, and waved his hand again and again and said: "Besides, besides, the information obtained is just hearsay, and it is not accurate." Don't ask again, so as not to hurt your brotherhood with the road! ”
"Mengde doesn't hurt to talk about it! The highway has always been chivalrous. If there is anything wrong with the behavior, we as brothers should persuade him to return to the right path! Besides, Meng De also said that it is a matter of the safety of the Son of Heaven, how can he be underestimated? Yuan Shao's mind at this time has long been gone, there is no suspense in front of him, all of his thoughts are the word "artifact" that Cao Cao "blurted out" just now, and he panicked for no reason, seeing Cao Cao taking Qiao, he immediately made a reproachful look, and hurriedly asked.
"Alas! That's it! The left and right highways are getting more and more crooked! If there was a chance at the beginning, he should really persuade him! Cao Cao seemed to have forgotten that the Yuan brothers, who were almost known to the world, had always made a "very unpleasant" quarrel for the position of the head of the family, slammed his palm, sighed heavily and said: "Have you ever remembered the matter of Wucheng Hou Sun Jian when we were waiting for the crusade against the thief Dong Zhuo of that country?" ”
"Wu Chenghou? Sun Jian? Yuan Shao pondered for a while, and asked suspiciously: "Of course I remember that there was a small school under Sun Jian at that time, and he vainly claimed that Sun Jian had obtained the jade seal of the country in Luoyang Palace, and had the intention of hiding the artifact, and died at the hands of Liu Jingsheng in Jingzhou?" Of course I remember, but didn't I come to the final conclusion in the end, is it all a rumor? And since Sun Jian's death, the Sun family has declined, and no one has mentioned it since then, how can it ...... Could it be that Meng De wanted to sue a certain artifact just mentioned, that is...... No way! No way! ”
"Silence! The original! It may not be without a reason! Cao Cao pretended to say something secret, approached Yuan Shao and said: "Can you still remember that at the beginning of the year, Cao had a misunderstanding with the highway, but was attacked by Liu Biao, who never involved in the disputes between the princes, and fled in a panic?" ”
"Mo ...... Isn't it because of that ......" Yuan Shao also seemed to understand something at this time, and suddenly looked dumbfounded, but then shook his head and said to Cao Cao: "Meng De, this matter is not a joke!" That Liu Biao is a relative of the Han family, and when he saw that the highway was presumptuous, he actually led foreign clans to attack Hanzhou County, so he ......"
"I originally thought that with Cao's friendship with the highway, why was he good before, but he was suddenly attacked by him?" Seeing Yuan Shao's tangled appearance, even he couldn't convince himself of the reasons he said, the corners of his mouth were slightly upturned, and the banter in his eyes flashed, but he made a heart-to-heart appearance, and said to Yuan Shao: "And it can be known from the beginning, since the death of Sun Wentai, the Marquis of Wucheng, whose hands have his family and the old tribes fallen into?" I believe that with the original ability, these should not be impossible to find, right? ”
"This ......" has been overwhelmed by the war with Gongsun Zan in recent years, and even the elite under his command surrendered to Lu Bu, and his henchmen and strategists were abducted by Qin Xu's gang, where does Yuan Shao still have the heart to care about a person who has been dead for several years? However, when Cao Cao asked at this time, he didn't want Cao Cao to look down on himself, so he said forcefully: "These Yuan naturally know, but what does this mean?" ”
"Originally, you missed brotherhood too much!" Cao Cao seemed to sigh and said: "Okay, since you asked at the beginning, I won't hide it." The reason why they turned against each other before the highway was because Cao learned a news by chance. Zhang Xiu, the general of Xiliang who is also in Wancheng, Nanyang, once had a secret agreement with the highway, as long as the highway has the artifact in hand, he will join hands with the highway to do something big! The highway wanted to act together with Cao, but because Cao thought about the Han family, he sternly refused, so he had the Southern Xiongnu Yufu Department who had already taken refuge in the whole clan on the highway. Attack Chen Liu's thing! And that Liu Jingsheng, it was because he learned the news by accident that he changed his previous behavior. Blatant troops to attack the rear of the road! ”
"This ...... How could this be? Then why didn't Meng De sue Yuan earlier? "That unlucky cousin of his own family, his heart has always been higher than the sky, this kind of thing is put on others, Yuan Shao may hesitate a little, but on Yuan Shu, even if the evidence is insufficient, it is enough to make Yuan Shao believe it first. said with some reproach at the moment.
"Primatim! You and Cao are best friends, but isn't the highway? You ...... on the day Ahem, when you want to do great things. also refused, didn't you say nothing to the road? Cao Cao saw that Yuan Shao really showed this unlucky virtue after knowing the news, made a wry smile and said.
"Yes. But even the old generals of the Sun clan were indeed acquired by the road. Doesn't that mean that there is an artifact on the highway? Cao Cao's explanation is reasonable, when Yuan Shao wanted to set up another son of heaven, he did think about pulling Cao Cao into the water, and although Cao Cao did not agree, he kept it secret. Moreover, this kind of thing has no interest in Cao Cao, so Cao Cao's excuse is because of the righteousness of his friends. Yuan Shao has also been confident by five points. It's just that Yuan Shaowu can't fully believe that Yuan Shu, who has been competing with him for the position of the head of the family, will have such good luck. He asked with some hesitation, frowning.
"Humph! At the beginning, it was known that the highway was coming in annoyance, but Liu Jingsheng attacked the back road, and only fled into the land of Huaisi with thousands of remnants of the army, but why did he just fight with Qin Xu in Xuzhou, and in the face of Jing and Xu's mighty troops, it was too late to expand the army in order to protect himself, so he divided half of the remaining troops under his command out, so that people attacked Yangzhou? Cao Cao saw that Yuan Shao was completely "hooked", and he didn't wait for Yuan Shao to ask again, and said with a sneer: "This matter is not a secret, I believe you may have heard it at the beginning, but the key point is that Yuan Shu entrusted the soldiers and horses to whom in this situation!" ”
"I do know something about this, isn't it the son of Sun Jian in the old highway ......, it's not good, isn't it ......" Yuan Shao seemed to be relieved at this time, and connected what Cao Cao said before and after, and immediately frowned tightly, the anger in his eyes flashed, and said to Cao Cao: "Could it be that the son of Sun Jian took the jade seal of the country hidden by his father as a hostage, and pawned thousands of soldiers and horses from the highway in exchange for a chance to stand on his own?" ”
"Highway temperament and character, you and a certain person know it well, if it weren't for the temptation of such an artifact, would Highway be willing to give half of the elite soldiers who saved their lives to a half-grown child under such circumstances?" Cao Cao seemed to be tempting the big bad wolf of Little Red Riding Hood, staring at Yuan Shao's eyes, and said word by word: "These things, each of them can stand up to verification, whether it is a lie, it can be investigated in detail in the future, you are friends with the highway, and Cao Mou didn't want to provoke your brother's feelings, but if the two thieves of Li Dao and Guo Yan really went to Wancheng now, and took the opportunity to contact the highway, at that time, the highway has an artifact according to the Son of Heaven, and you and I are busy with this work, but the highway is cheap in vain!" You know, so-and-so just lost his base camp in a big battle with the road, alas! If it weren't for that, I really don't want to hurt my former friends because of such things! ”
"Mendemo is going to say! Don't hide it from Meng De, Yuan had secretly ordered Yan Liang when he traveled, and he wanted to take advantage of this opportunity to break the arm of Lu Bu in Qingzhou first, even if he was to blame Meng De and hang up the infamy of a private traitor, this time he would also borrow the hands of the Xiliang thieves to drag Qin Xu, who was surrendered by Meng De, to death in the battle of Chang'an under the escort of the Xiliang army that was surrendered by Meng De. Or, in order not to make a detour on the road, let that little guy live a few more days. Tired Meng De and a certain horse sent an order, at any cost, to prevent Li Guo and the two thieves from escaping from Tongguan and going to Wancheng! If we can be lucky enough to rescue the Son of Heaven this time, I hope Meng De will bother to think about the new fortunate place of the Son of Heaven! "If you want to get someone to help, you have to pay some benefits, and Yuan Shao is really proficient in this.
The reason why Yuan Shao was willing to give up this great benefit at his fingertips was because he heard what Cao Cao said. Yuan Shao has believed Cao Cao's words ten out of ten at this time, from the perspective of Yuan Shao, who is bent on coercing the Son of Heaven to order the princes, Cao Cao really has nothing to "plot" in this matter, even if the Son of Heaven is rescued, in this era when the seal is often greater than the personnel, there is no jade seal in hand, after all, there is still some unjustifiable, fighting for this first merit and the question of the belonging of the Son of Heaven, in Yuan Shao's heart, there is a mind to contradict Yuan Shu in front of him, and there is really no meaning. After all, even if the Son of Heaven was really taken to Yecheng, then Yuan Shu held the jade seal of the country in his hand, and did some pretentious edicts and the like, Yuan Shao really had nothing else to think about except being uncomfortable. It is better to make some ambiguous promises to Cao Cao at this time, and it is important to get this great help for the future. You must know that when Wang Mang usurped power, even if he had the edict of the Son of Heaven in hand, he still wanted to get the jade seal of the country, which was more important than that, which was enough to prove.
"Huh? Primordial ...... At the beginning, rest assured, the highway is also a friend, even if there was a misunderstanding before, it will definitely not make the highway risk the world's disapproval! Seeing that Yuan Xiaohonghao finally said what he thought in his heart under the persuasion of Cao Da Bad Wolf, and there was also the idea of valuing the jade seal in Yuan Shu's hand more than competing with him Cao Cao for the Son of Heaven, Cao Cao should have been happy, after all, Cao Cao brazenly sent troops to rescue the Son of Heaven this time, in the final analysis, it was more public than selfish, even if he was competing with Yuan Shao for the first merit of rescuing the Son of Heaven, and the issue of the belonging of the Son of Heaven, it was just that he didn't want to waste some effort, and the bamboo basket fell in vain. But after hearing Yuan Shao's words, Cao Cao couldn't laugh.
Yuan Benchu, you even calculate your old buddies!
Even if Qin Xu is hateful, if he can die in the Xiliang Rebellion, it is also what his old Cao thinks in his heart.
But can we also take a look at the time, don't be so straightforward, okay?
At this moment, it is already known to the world that Qin Xu, the assassin of Xuzhou, wanted to serve the territory, not only to protect the eldest son of Yanzhou to come to Chang'an, but also to rescue the Son of Heaven. Under the impetus of his old Cao, various versions of the matter of the horse going down to Tongguan also pushed Qin Xu to a big position for the country and the people. Although life and death are extremely common on the battlefield, who in the world will be blind? In the same place, you Cao Cao is fine, he Yuan Shao is fine, but Qin Xu is dead? Or died at the hands of the defeated soldiers of Xiliang who were driven away by Cao Cao, who was conceded by Yuan Shaoxiang to rescue the Son of Heaven, this ...... It's hard to say! Besides, is Qingzhou Lu Bu a master who can listen to people's "explanations"? Just for the sake of such a false name, maybe plus the Son of Heaven is really fortunate to benefit the county, but at that time, Lu Bu's anger will all be sprinkled on our old Cao's head, Qingzhou is so close to Yanzhou, if the troops of Qingxu and Xu are blatantly attacking Yanzhou because of this matter......
I went and worked with our old Cao to plan all this, but in the end I got into a big trouble for myself? The real benefit is you, Yuan Benchu?
100,000 Xiliang defeated the army of 10,000 Xiliang......
You have to add the ill-intentioned 10,000 Bingzhou cavalry......
No advance or retreat......
Qin Xu, haven't you broken our Lao Cao's Yanzhou elite several times? Your name is still embroidered on our old Cao's robe, our old Cao has never lacked the heart to get to the point, because of this happy thing, now is the time for you to kiss someone, don't soften your waist!
Qin Xu! General Qin! Qin Xuzhou!
You must hold on to Lao Tzu! (To be continued......)
