Chapter 302: Chang'an Emergency
On the way to the front yard after leaving Cai Yan's dormitory, Liu Wei still felt that his brain was in chaos, his legs were also a little fluttering, the scenery in front of him seemed to be swaying, and his chest was also filled with nausea.
As a member of the Han clan, Liu argued that he was quite aggrieved. Although he married three princesses, he was away for a long time, and it was extremely difficult to see several princesses. It is precisely because of this that whenever it is time to reunite with Tang Ji and the others, on the first night, he will definitely toss with one of them until his legs are weak and his eyes are black, and he is really unable to stand up, so he will give up.
After lingering with Cai Yan all night, Liu Wei was losing his physical strength at this time, but he got the information that Xu Shu had an important matter to report, and he knew that the matter was very important, so he didn't dare to delay, so he hurriedly got up in his clothes and rushed to the front yard.
Accompanied by several Yu Linwei, as soon as Liu Wei entered the front yard, he saw Zhao Yun, Tai Shici and other generals waiting on the square under the leadership of Xu Shu.
Seeing Liu Wei come out, Xu Shu hurriedly caught up, hugged his fists and bowed to him first, and then said: "Wang Yun intends to punish the Xiliang army, Li Dao and Guo Yan, who originally did not want to resist the imperial court, were furious when they heard this, and they have led a large army to attack Chang'an, and now Chang'an is in chaos, His Majesty sent a messenger to ask His Highness to send troops to rescue immediately." ”
"Let's talk about it when we enter the hall!" After listening to Xu Shu's report, Liu Wei waved his hand at him and strode towards the stairs to the main hall.
When Liu Wei led a few Yulin guards up the stairs first, Xu Shu and the generals also followed, running along the stairs towards the main hall.
Entering the main hall, when everyone sat down in order, Liu Biancai pressed the table in front of him with one hand, got up slightly, and asked Xu Shu, who was sitting on the left side, "The military advisor just said that His Majesty sent a messenger, I don't know who he sent?" ”
"Your Highness!" Sitting on the cushion, Xu Shu held his fist and bowed his body, and said to Liu Wei: "Li Dao and Guo Yan are strong soldiers, and there are Niu Fu on the periphery, Xu Rong was ordered by Wang Yun to fight with Niu Fu, and he was defeated repeatedly, and now Niu Fu's army is gradually approaching Chang'an. Chang'an is now like the meat of the sword, and General Gao Shun under Lu Bu managed to break through after a fight, and is now waiting outside the mansion. ”
"General Gao Shun, please come in and speak!" Although he had been chased and killed by Gao Shun before, he always had a good impression of Gao Shun and Liu Bian, and when he heard that it was him, Liu Bian raised his head and shouted outside the hall.
With Liu Wei's order, a shout of "Please General Gao Shun come in to meet you" came from outside the hall.
Soon after the shouts outside the hall fell, a military general wearing scaly armor and his face covered with blood had not yet had time to wipe it off.
The military general took out his sword outside the hall, and then walked into the hall, and when he arrived more than ten steps away from Liu Wei, his hands folded in front of his forehead, and he knelt on the ground with a "poof" sound, and shouted loudly: "The last general Gao Shun, bow to the king of Luoyang." ”
"General Gao, please get up and speak. At the beginning, I was the king of Hongnong, and General Gao was in a hurry to chase and kill. Chao Gao Shunxu, who was covered in blood and had obviously experienced a vicious battle, raised his hand, and Liu Wei said to him with a faint smile on the corner of his mouth: "Now that this king has become the king of Luoyang, General Gao will see it and make such a big gift, how dare this king accept it?" ”
When Liu Wei fled from Luoyang, Gao Shun was indeed chased all the way. Even Liu Wei broke through the Tiger Prison Pass and entered the pass, he was still leading his troops to chase after him.
If someone else heard Liu Wei mention this matter, I am afraid that he would have put the blame on Dong Zhuo and tried to defend himself. But Gao Shun is a decent person, but he can't do anything like that.
Gao Shun knelt on the ground, his forehead was already covered with fine beads of sweat, and he didn't dare to get up. He got Liu Xie's will and came to Luoyang to ask Liu Wei to send troops for support, if Liu Wei was unwilling to send troops because he had been chased and killed, in Gao Shun's view, this was definitely the result of his previous pursuit and killing of Liu Bian.
Seeing Gao Shun kneeling on the ground and not speaking, Liu Wei raised his hand again and said to him: "General Gao just gets up and talks if he has something, this king is not a person with a small belly and a memory of his former enemies. ”
With Liu Wei's words, Gao Shun dared to straighten up. But he didn't stand up immediately, but clasped his hands into fists, raised them high above his head, looked up at Liu Wei and said, "Your Highness's benevolence is known to the world. Hunting down His Highness that day, the last general did not dare to shirk. Now that Chang'an is besieged, His Majesty and the ministers of the court are in danger of exhaustion. General Lu guarded the city all day long, but the thief army was strong, and there was a risk of breaking the city at any time. If His Highness is willing to send troops to the rescue, the last general is willing to sacrifice this head to thank His Highness! ”
"Head?" Gao Shun's words were categorical, and Liu Wei did not doubt his sincerity at all, but after Gao Shun's voice fell, Liu Wei still said to him: "General Gao's head, let's stay on Xiang." With this head, the general can also make contributions in the future, and with the ability of the general, he will definitely win the title of wife and son, and become famous all over the world! As for the rescue of Chang'an, the king will discuss it with the generals, and then plan carefully with General Gao. ”
Liu Wei didn't say whether to rescue or not to rescue Chang'an, kneeling in the middle of the hall, Gao Shun also knew that if he wanted Liu Wei to promise immediately, it would never be possible.
Looking up at Liu Wei, Gao Shun was a little reluctant to raise his fists above his head, and said to him: "I implore Your Highness to make a decision as soon as possible, and the general will retire!" ”
"Send General Gao to bathe and change clothes!" After Gao Shun got up, Liu Wei gave an order to Yu Linwei, who was guarding the door of the main hall.
A Yulin guard responded, stretched out his hand to Gao Shun and made a gesture of please, saying, "General Gao, please!" ”
With his hands clenched into fists and a few steps back, Gao Shun turned around and strode out of the main hall.
When Gao Shun left the main hall, Liu Wei asked Xu Shu on the side: "Your Majesty ordered Gao Shun to come to ask for help, what does the military advisor think this king should do?" ”
"Your Highness doesn't know your own situation?" Before Liu Wei's words fell, Xu Shu hugged his fists and said to him: "In the eyes of His Majesty, His Royal Highness is a thorn that must be pulled. But at present, the Xiliang army is still wandering near Chang'an, and His Majesty is powerless to eradicate it, so His Royal Highness has become the barrier of this great Han society. ”
"What does the military advisor mean...... Don't save? Liu Wei tilted his head slightly, looked at Xu Shu with some doubts, and said with a little entanglement in his expression: "If you don't save it, I'm afraid it will ......."
"Today, there are quite a few people who support the army and respect themselves!" Before Liu finished speaking, Xu Shu already knew what he wanted to say, and then said: "If His Highness does not go to the rescue of Chang'an, he will definitely be attacked by some ill-intentioned heroes in the future." Chang'an wants to be saved, but it can't be saved so thoroughly, Li Dao and Guo Yan entered Chang'an, but it is beneficial to His Highness and harmless! ”
After listening to Xu Shu's words, Liu Wei looked around at the people in the hall and asked the generals: "The military advisor has made a decision, what do the generals think?" ”
Zhao Yun and Tai Shici are usually cautious, although they are loyal to Liu Wei, they will not express their stance easily on this kind of issue.
Zhou Cang and Dian Wei are still leading the army with Jia Xu at the moment, and the two are loyal to Liu Wei, but they have no good impression of the Han court, if they are here, I am afraid that they have stood up to express their support for Xu Shu at this moment.
There was silence in the hall for a moment, and Guan Hai, who was sitting slightly lower on the right side, saw that everyone didn't speak, "Hi", stood up, and said to Liu Wei: "Although the military advisor's strategy is good, it is also a little girly. What is to save or not to save? If His Royal Highness allocates 30,000 or 20,000 people to the last general, and the last general leads them, first go to disperse the birdmen of the Xiliang Army, and then capture Chang'an, His Royal Highness is the lord of the world, isn't it beautiful? ”
"General Guan!" As soon as Guan Hai finished speaking, Xu Shu glared at him and shouted at him: "The Han Dynasty has been established for hundreds of years, and the whole world is not the land of the Han Dynasty, how can the huge country be as child's play as General Guan said?" Sit down yet! ”
A few days ago, Liu Wei was in Chang'an, and Guan Hai and others were under the control of Xu Shu. Xu Shu is quite rigorous in governing the army, and he also has enough control ability for subordinate generals. Although he is used to being a yellow turban thief, he is still a little jealous of Xu Shu and Guan Hai.
was drunk by Xu Shu like this, Guan Hai shrunk his neck, and muttered in his mouth: "This world belongs to His Highness, His Highness wants to take it back, and which birdman dares to say anything......"
Before Guan Hai's words were finished, Xu Shu glared at him again, and Guan Hai pursed his lips and sat down again.
When Guan Hai sat down, Liu Wei looked at Zhao Yun on the right side and asked Zhao Yun, "What does Zilong think is the plan of the military advisor?" ”
Xu Shu's proposal was to ask Liu Wei to help him secretly, to put it bluntly, he wanted to draw Liu Xie's ladder in the name of rescuing Chang'an, and he also wanted to do things beautifully, so that people in the world could not say that Liu Wei was disloyal to the Han family.
Zhao Yun didn't want to participate in the discussion, but Liu Wei took the initiative to ask him, and he couldn't help but answer, so he stood up, hugged his fists and said to Liu Wei: "What the military advisor said is very true, and what General Guan Hai said is not completely unreasonable......
"Look, let's say break through Chang'an and let His Highness be the emperor!" Before Zhao Yun's words were finished, Guan Hai, who had just been reprimanded by Xu Shu, took over and said: "Since General Zhao also thinks that what he said is right, His Royal Highness will give him 20,000 or 30,000 people, and His Royal Highness will recapture Chang'an!" ”
Zhao Yun, who was interrupted halfway through his words, turned his head and glanced at Guan Hai very depressedly, and only after Guan Hai finished speaking, did he continue: "But right now, the heroes are eyeing each other, just wait for the Han family to mess up, and you can profit from it." If His Royal Highness attacks Chang'an, chaos in the Han court will arise, so at present, our army cannot break Chang'an. can only secretly send Chang'an to the hands of the Xiliang army, if you want to not rescue Chang'an and drive Li Dao and Guo Yan away, and not be found by the heroes to attack them from the head, I am afraid there is only one way. ”
At this point, Zhao Yun stopped talking and looked at Xu Shu, who was sitting opposite.
"Zilong, but it's okay to say." Seeing Zhao Yun looking at him, Xu Shu made a gesture of invitation to Zhao Yun and said to him: "Zilong is usually fine, and he must have a plan in his heart. ”
"Ushisuke!" Xu Shu asked him to continue, and Zhao Yun continued: "The people who besieged Chang'an were Li Dao and Guo Yan, although the two of them and Niu Fu were both the Xiliang army, but they were not one. Niu Fu had sent Hu Chi'er to attack our army earlier, and our army attacked Niu Fu, first, to avenge General Hu Cai's revenge, and second, to announce to the world that this move was to encircle Wei and save Zhao, intending to lead Li Dao and Guo Yan to save Niu Fu, so as to relieve the siege of Chang'an! As for whether the plan succeeds or not, then you can only do your best to know the destiny of heaven! ”
Zhao Yun was talking, and Xu Shu, who was sitting opposite him, couldn't stop nodding. After Zhao Yun finished speaking, Xu Shu stood up, clasped his fists and said to Liu Wei: "Your Highness, what Zilong said is almost the same as what His Majesty thinks. We all know that when attacking Niu Fu, Li Dao and Guo Yan will most likely not come to the rescue. Chang'an was besieged, and the grain, grass, and soldiers in the city must have consumed a lot of money. The city is not broken in ten months, if His Royal Highness stays in Luoyang, Chang'an will definitely send people to urge His Highness to send troops, which is not beautiful! ”
