At noon a day later, Wang Yun's frame arrived outside Huayin City, Wang Xu heard the news, personally led the crowd to greet him, briefly explained the current situation, and hurriedly took him to the front line, leaving only Xu Sheng to lead the guards to stay in Huayin.

The fast horses galloped along the way, and when they arrived at Tongguan, they happened to meet Wang Chen once again persuading under the pass.

Wang Yun listened carefully in the rear camp for a while, he was already impatient, and hurriedly said: "Ziyang, quickly take the old man to the pass, Wang Chen will definitely not be persuaded to say this!" ”

"Good! Go shut down. Wang Xu nodded and promised, and personally led the generals to ride their horses outside the pass.

At this time, Zhang Liao and Dian Wei were leading dozens of Xiaoyaojin dead soldiers, guarding Wang Chen's side, when they suddenly heard the sound of carriages and horses behind, and couldn't help but look back.

"It's the lord!"

"The lord is here!"

The two exclaimed one after another, and immediately greeted the horse, and roughly doubled the situation of the persuasion in the past two days.

"Hmm!" Wang Xu smiled, signaling that he understood, and then turned his gaze to Wang Chen, and called, "Brother Boming, look who is coming!" ”

Because Wang Chen is older, Wang Xu calls him a brother.

He didn't care about the things behind him, he just cared about persuasion loudly, but when he heard the words, he couldn't help but ride his horse back a few steps, and bowed with a sad face: "Hey! General Wang, the foolish brother is stubborn, it is really difficult to persuade, I really don't know what to do! ”

Wang Xu waved his hand disappreciatively: "Brother Boming, don't worry, let's see who is in the carriage first?" ”

"...... in the carriage" Wang Chen turned his head to look, his face full of doubts.

He didn't know that Wang Yun was coming, so it was impossible to guess.

The carriage quickly stopped, and a tired and somewhat hoarse voice came from inside: "Birming." It's me! ”

The curtain of the carriage was lifted. The dusty Wang Yun walked out from within.

Wang Chen looked at it for a moment. Tears flowed in an instant, and he called excitedly: "Uncle! ”

"Bo Ming, I can't imagine that you and I will see each other again!" Wang Yun's eyes were far away, with a little vicissitudes on his face, and he was quite emotional. "Hey! Back then, I didn't think it through, so that your parents and younger siblings were all victimized by Li Dao and Guo Yan. ”

Wang Chen choked and shook his head: "Uncle, don't blame yourself, it was my father who refused to leave back then, and he said that he was a Han courtier." When you are stationed in the court for Your Majesty, you should wait for your uncle to return with your Majesty to find reinforcements, or order the capital to be moved! At that time, no one would have thought that Li Dao and Guo Yan would be so bold as to risk the disapproval of the world to kill the ministers, even if it was not because of their uncle's affairs, with their father's loyal and upright nature, they would be implicated. ”

"Hey!" Wang Yun sighed and patted Wang Chen's shoulder. Silent, in fact, how could he not know this. I just feel responsible after all.

Wang Chen burst into tears, and then said: "Uncle, in fact, that Zhong Xuan also invited me, the reason why I refused to go out is because that Zhong Xuan was in Chang'an, Mingzhe to protect his life, but instead succumbed to traitors such as Li Dao and Guo Yan, and won the trust of the two. ”

Otherwise, when Cao Cao welcomed His Majesty to the east, Zhong Xuan was unable to assist Zhou Xuan and deceived the two. Although I understand his behavior of being so forbearant and waiting for an opportunity, because of my father's affairs, I really can't bear it in my heart, so I don't want to go to his account! ”

Wang Yun's eyes were full of pity, and he looked at Wang Chen for a long time before he asked leisurely: "Then Wang Ling joined Cao Jun, why didn't you stop it at the beginning!" ”

"Wang Ling and I have a different temperament, he is more flexible, when I discussed with him, he said that Shi is the imperial court, and after he has the ability to be in a high position, he can be a monument for his father's original loyalty, so that the Taiyuan royal family can get the honor they deserve, so I also agreed." Wang Chen replied.

Wang Yun is already a person from the past, how can he not understand their thoughts, and want to persuade something, but it is difficult to say it, and finally sighed leisurely and said bitterly: "Among your two brothers, you have your father's straightforward affection, but Wang Ling has your father's loyalty and unyielding!" ”

"That's it!" Wang Yun took a deep breath, waved his hand freely, and quickly turned the topic back: "Now is not the time to talk about this matter, I will talk about it when I go back to Jingzhou in the future, and the old man will go to see Wang Ling first!" ”

"Hmmm! It can only be seen if the uncle can convince the foolish brother. Wang Chen nodded immediately and wiped away the tears from the corners of his eyes.

Although Wang Yun is no longer in a high position for many years, his bearing is still there, and he soon walked to the front of everyone, looking at the Tongguan City Tower, although he is old, he can go there for a stop, but it makes people feel that it is really like a mountain, full of aura.

"All the generals will follow me!"

Wang Xu didn't bother his uncle and nephew, and at this moment, he hurriedly led everyone to ride their horses to Wang Yun's left and right to escort him.

The soldiers of Cao Jun on the pass had already discovered that the pass was abnormal, but because of the large number of people, they couldn't see it clearly, and they didn't know who was coming.

"Wang Ling's rebel, don't open and close the door yet!" Wang Yun exhaled and shouted.

"Uncle?" Wang Ling was incredulous, his eyes widened, and he was afraid that he would be wrong.

Wang Chen answered the call and shouted at the right time: "Second brother, my uncle is very old, and he came here to persuade him personally, how can you bear to stand in this ice and snow, and still don't turn on and greet him!" ”

"Uncle, is your old man still alive?" Wang Ling asked loudly.

"What do you think?" Wang Yun replied loudly: "I will talk to you about the things of the past, you will quickly switch and surrender!" ”

"Uncle, this ......" Wang Ling was really embarrassed, and struggled in his heart, but in the end he still echoed: "Uncle, you have taught me since I was a child, I should be loyal to my duties, and my nephew is now guarding Wuguan, how can I do that disobedient thing?" ”

"Confused!" Wang Yun angrily reprimanded: "Loyalty, who should be loyal to, what is the matter of the branch!" Now that the imperial family is declining, Cao Cao coerced the Son of Heaven and ordered the princes to control the court, and regarded His Majesty as nothing, and was already a traitorous minister. ”

"Since ancient times, loyalty and filial piety can't be both, nephews ......"

Before Wang Ling finished speaking, Wang Yun had already interrupted and reprimanded angrily: "You are a traitor guarding the pass, you are already disloyal, and now what you are doing is even more unfilial, you rebel son is so disloyal, disloyal and unfilial, but you still don't want to repent, your father and me, have you ever taught you like this?" ”

"Uncle......" Wang Ling was tormented at the moment, tears flowed from his eyes, and he was very painful. After a few moments, he finally spoke his mind. "Uncle! Today. The princes scuffle. The imperial family is declining, and the heroes are their masters. Cao Gong treats me well, An Neng betrays me, and he is a general, how can he lose his temperament, if he surrenders today, won't he be ridiculed by the people of the world and leave a reputation for eternity? ”

Wang Yun's mouth was a three-inch tongue. How shrewd, knowing Wang Ling's complex psychology at the moment, and knowing that those high-sounding reasons are all excuses, seeing that he told the truth, he immediately hit seven inches, and angrily scolded: "The princes of the world, who is not good to serve, you prefer to serve the traitorous minister who holds His Majesty hostage, no matter what the general trend of the world is, but you will eventually be the queen of Hanchen." The world eats Hanlu, and others can follow suit. You can't, it's immoral! ”

"It is a mistake to command troops to fight with their relatives!"

"Being a minister in the same dynasty as the enemy who killed his father, it is even more suspected of unfilial piety, if your father's family dies on the battlefield, it is a battle between soldiers and soldiers, then it's okay, no wonder, but those Xiliang people are rebellious, cruelly murdering your defenseless family, what face do you have to see the world?"

"Besides, you work for Cao Cao, but Wang Chen and I are in Jingzhou, with Cao Mengde's suspicious nature, if you know this, how can you really trust you again?"

"Uncle...... I ......" Wang Ling didn't know what to say, and when he heard those words, although his heart was tormented, he was obviously still unwilling to surrender Kaicheng.

Just when the two of them were shouting from afar, on another section of the city wall of Tongguan, Bian Xi and Kong Xiu hurriedly gathered together.

"General Kong, have you heard their conversation before?" Bian Xi said anxiously.

"I heard it, I got the report from the soldiers, I rushed here as soon as possible, that person is Wang Situ!" Kong Xiu sighed helplessly.

"I can't imagine that the old man is not dead, and he is still hiding in Jingzhou!" Bian Xi's eyes flashed, and then he said: "General Kong, this old man and Wang Chen are close relatives to Wang Ling, Wang Ling has always been filial and affectionate, but because of his loyalty, he refused to surrender, but listening to the two of them say this, Wang Ling may not be able to hold it in his heart." ”

"So what do you say?" Kong Xiu was also in a hurry. "The letter has been reported, but General Cao Zhen will not arrive until one day at the earliest."

Bian Xi frowned and said: "No, I can't wait for a day, think about it, even if you and I are in Wang Ling's situation at the moment, may we keep our loyalty?" ”

"This ......" Kong Xiu lowered his head in shame, but didn't say much.

"Then do you think, how much better can Wang Ling be than you and me?" Bian Xi spoke again.

The conversation between the two is really unbearable, a typical self-discipline.

It's a pity that it's difficult for people to see themselves clearly, Kong Xiu was moved, and asked quickly, "Then what should I do?" ”

Bian Xi did not hesitate at all, and waved his hand fiercely to make a gesture: "Order the archers to shoot Wang Yun, and then control Wang Ling, otherwise Tongguan will fall." Besides, Wang Xu seems to be also off, although his martial arts are extraordinary, and he is guarded by strong generals, but if he can be shot by luck, it will be a great merit. ”

"No, Captain Zhong replied quickly, didn't he say that he should not act rashly? If Wang Yun is shot, Wang Ling will be furious! Kong Xiu shook his head again and again.

"That's because he didn't know that Wang Yun was still alive and would come to this Tongguan, and now it's too late to report it, if the general doesn't make a decision, he will suffer from it!" Bian Xi said fiercely.

Kong Xiu thought for a moment, and finally nodded: "Okay!" Then we will go to Kannai at once, and gather the headquarters of you and me to go to the city wall. ”

"Wait!" Bian Xi hurriedly grabbed him, shook his head and said: "If the army is so mobilized, how can Wang Ling not get the reward, and the time is too long, if he is prepared, it will not be easy to besiege and kill, in my opinion, only the cronies of you and me in the city are enough, sneak over quietly first, surround Wang Ling and his own more than 100 personal guards, forgive him Wang Ling will not be able to turn the sky!" ”

"That's fine, then I'll go over and arrange it now!" Kong Xiu turned around and left.

"General Kong, be careful later, I have heard that Wang Ling's martial arts are good, we have studied with him, I am afraid that he has not done his best!" Bian Xi reminded.

Kong Xiu waved his hand nonchalantly: "Don't worry, his martial arts are extraordinary, and I also rely on courage as a general, and I have never used all my strength when fighting, so why be afraid?" Some time ago, the Japanese army withdrew to Hongnong, and the two of us were ordered to take 10,000 soldiers and horses to stay here to assist him, but because he was the general of Tongguan, he was very familiar with this Tongguan, otherwise he could be the main general. ”

"It's better to be cautious!" Bian Xi advised.

"General Bian, don't worry, if he Wang Ling dares to resist, I will kill him!" Kong Xiu said, striding away without his head.

Bian Xi did not procrastinate, and quietly ordered the cronies on the city wall to slowly surround the central tower, and he himself selected a team of the best crossbowmen and waited quietly beside the city wall.

After a while, out of the corner of his eye, he saw that the city tower had been deployed, and he glanced at Kong Xiu, and decisively turned around and shouted: "Shoot!" (To be continued......)
