164 Chapter 164

(Cat flutter Chinese) Even if he was resigned to fate, he had to struggle before he died, so Sun Ce took a small group of people who were able to say that the combat power of the temporary patchwork was quite passable, and casually chose a direction and headed towards the straight city gate.

The combat effectiveness of the defenders of the Zhicheng Gate was much stronger than that of the other city gates, and they were the first to notice the abnormal movement in the palace, and they had already sent people out of the city to ride fast horses to report the news to Chencang Pass. The people sent out by Wang Yue later arrived a little late, and the hidden weapons and bows and arrows could not reach each other, and the city was guarded and could not get out, so they had to watch the backs of the people getting farther and farther away.

When Sun Ce arrived, the battle was raging, and there were many seriously wounded soldiers lying on the towers of the city. With a gloomy face, Sun Ce bent down to probe the snort of one of the warriors who looked very young, but his fingers could not feel the slightest fluctuation.

At this time, someone stabbed him with a shot, Sun Ce rolled on the spot, stained with blood, he picked up the long knife thrown next to the soldier's body, held it in his hand with a disgusted face, and said to himself: "Make do, brother, you want me to avenge you, and don't leave me something good." ”

The man with the gun was dressed in a dusty robe and covered with armor, and at first glance he looked no different from an ordinary soldier, but when he slowly stood up and crossed the spear in front of him, an aura of battle-hardened and resolute battle naturally manifested itself from him.

It's a character. Sun Ce thought silently, and when he was thinking about how to greet the other party and introduce himself, the other party spoke first.

"Under Xu Rong," the man said lightly, "you are Sun Wentai's son." ”

Not a question mark, but a full stop that indicates certainty.

"Xu Rong?" Sun Ce's tongue gently spit out a name, he narrowed his eyes, cautiously stepped back half a step, and put on a very solemn fist clenching posture: "I know you." ”

Xu Rong used to be Dong Zhuo's subordinate. In the process of Lu Bu's rebellion, Xu Rong, as the commander of the forbidden army, defected to the side of the imperial party and dealt a serious blow to Dong Zhuo's party. After this incident, Xu Rong became a loyal and unswerving person to the Han family, and he had protected the dignity of the emperor from Lu Bu, Duan Xuan, Yuan Shao and others many times, and was very valued under Liu Xie.

But it didn't work. Liu Xie has no money, no EQ and no IQ, his limited wisdom is invested in endless activities against Shen Xian, and those assigned to other places become very pitiful.

Therefore, Liu Xie actually does not recruit subordinates to be seen, unless he is a real diehard.

For example, Xu Rong.

Some things are so strange, and the character of the person is really amazing - Yang Biao, as a loyal backbone of the imperial party who knew his true identity in the whole court, was once determined to assist Liu Xiezheng in eliminating the traitorous male and reviving the Han Dynasty. However, under the increasingly severe situation, under the threat of the family and the temptation and corruption of the monstrous power, Yang Biao, the "first person of the imperial party", still couldn't hold back after all, and finally simply betrayed the revolution openly and openly, becoming an opportunistic rebel who wanted to scold him twice.

On the contrary, Xu Rong, who never took "Reviving the Han Dynasty" as a slogan, silently commuted to and from work every day, secretly guarding Liu Xie's safety, and the little person who had no sense of existence in the whole article implemented his beliefs and persistence from beginning to end.

When he began to follow Dong Zhuo, Xu Rong was very dissatisfied with Dong Zhuo's brutal behavior, so he voluntarily surrendered the military power of the Praetorian Guard, and led Yang Biao and Jia Xu to open the city gate for Lu Bu. Later, Lu Bu's behavior became more and more obedient, except that he did not rob the people's daughters, and Dong Zhuo was almost the same, in order to save the unlucky emperor from fire and water, Xu Rong forced his nominal boss Lu Bu out of Chang'an City.

Sun Ce admired Xu Rong very much, after all, under the circumstances at that time, there were not many people who dared to make such a decision against the current, most of them were trembling under the obscenity of Dong Lu and the others, not everyone had the courage to abandon the original owner with problems with the three views when the other party was arrogant, and find a boss for himself who at least looked upright. And after following Liu Xie for so many years, Xu Rong's decision seemed to hit a stone with an egg every time, but he was able to do his best to completely protect the emperor every time.

"Lord Xu, what do you mean by this?" Sun Ce's gaze swept over the wounded soldiers and dead bodies all over the ground, and finally stopped on Xu Rong's face: "These are your own people, but you killed them all?" ”

"They betrayed Your Majesty." Xu Rong said lightly: "Those are too." ”

Looking at Xu Rong's hand, Sun Ce found that he was referring to the defenders of the original straight city gate, who had now been forcibly tied up into zongzi and thrown in the corner.

Sun Ce felt a little headache. He is not good at negotiation, if Zhou Yu or Guo Jia were here, he would definitely be able to think of the fastest and most stable way to reverse Xu Rongce, but Sun Ce couldn't.

The two generals disagreed and did not want to mediate, and the only result was that the two sides would fight.

"It's not that they betrayed Your Majesty," Sun Ce gritted his teeth and met the spear flower stabbed by Xu Rong: "It's Your Majesty who betrayed them!" ”

Shen Xian didn't lock Yang Biao up, she took Yang Biao back to the palace directly.

After announcing through Wang Yue's mouth that he would hand over the command of all the soldiers and horses belonging to his own side in the capital to Sun Ce, Shen Xian slowly stepped into the deserted and dilapidated palace with a slightly cool dew in the early morning.

Yang Biao sat upright and closed his eyes to recuperate, and when he heard Shen Xian's movement, he slowly opened his eyes, glanced at her lightly, and then closed them again: "Lord Liu, with all due respect to the old man, at this time, you should take the opportunity to gather Chang'an's military power, kill all the people who can hinder you, and at the same time send someone to Xun Gongda to move the rescue troops, instead of standing here and chatting with the old man." ”

"The Tiger Benying copied the Yang family," Shen Xian didn't answer Yang Biao's words, as if she wanted to deliberately change the topic: "Don't worry, I have put a seal on your old man's house and stored it in the warehouse, and remember to take it from me in the future." ”

Yang Biao snorted slightly, just shook his head, and did not make a sound.

Shen Xian said again: "Oh, by the way, I also invited Dezu into the palace to drink tea, this kid is much older than when I met him in Wuguan......

Ignoring Yang Biao's suddenly discolored face, Shen Xian said to herself: "...... It is said that Dezu is a famous talent in Chang'an City? Then in the future, I will have to arrange an official for him to be a good official for the benefit of the people. ”

"Liu Shangyu," Yang Biao said with difficulty, "You-"

"Don't worry, Lord Yang, what I just said is all superficial," Shen Xian smiled slightly: "There is no deep meaning, what you hear, is what it is." ”

Yang Biao looked like he was about to run out of breath.

"Lord Yang, with your identity background and knowledge, you can be honest in Chang'an City, and it is the easiest thing to return to your hometown in the future, and get a good clothes," Shen Xian put away the smile on her face, she hugged her arms and turned the conversation around: "But you just want to toss around blindly, now it's okay, right?" ”

Yang Biao was silent for a long time, so long that when Shen Xian thought that his silence was refusing to answer the question, Yang Biao actually spoke again, and he said in a hoarse voice: "Lord Liu, why do you want to push things off completely, no matter whether it is me Yang Wenxian or Fu Gonghe, or even the friend of the Xun family...... It doesn't matter. ”

"You just found an excuse to clean the Yang family, and there are other families next......

Yang Biao's voice was low, like a ghost whispering silently in the wind, and he hit the most secret thought in Shen Xian's heart with one word: "You want to uproot all the families and cut off their intricate entanglements...... But useless Lord Liu, now they are gathered around you to listen to your command, and become your sharpest sword and the most solid shield, because you have the benefits they want here. ”

"When the interests are gone, cooperation will cease to exist, and then the families who have been supported by you will turn their guns on you without hesitation, until you are forced to continue to cooperate."

"By then, you'll have no second old man to be a scapegoat."

"Shut up," Shen Xian said coldly, "Lord Yang is really good at secretly changing concepts and putting gold on his face." ”

"Who said I'm going to do something to the family? They helped me take Chang'an City, and it's too late for me to thank them," Shen Xian evoked a thin smile, and she sarcastically said unceremoniously: "I'm not used to seeing you, it's just you." ”

Yang Biao is just throwing the pot and flying, compared to Shen Xian's level (face), it is far from enough.

You tried two sentences back and forth, irritation was used, humiliation was also used, Shen Xian still couldn't ask Yang Biao what tricks he had, although in her heart Shen Xian felt that Yang Biao had gone here, but the process was thrilling, it was too smooth, and she always felt that she was not very steady.

The teams sent out came back one after another, some of them managed to intercept the people who went out of the city to ask for help, and some of them did not intercept them and let them go. Looking at the lost soldiers drooping their heads one by one, Shen Xian smiled and encouraged: "Let them go, let them go, I just want them to report the news, Chen Cangguan is not moving, how can our reinforcements enter the city?" ”

After discussing with Wang Yue, the two of them decided not to send a large number of people to guard the city gate, but only tied the gate that should be closed with an iron gate, put the waterway down the sluice gate, and finally tried to defend the palace - the total number of people available in the city is less than four thousand, even if a soldier breaks himself into eight petals, it is not enough, without a seven|eighty|ninety thousand men and horses, absolutely do not want to defend Chang'an City, which is surrounded by eight water systems, with twelve city gates.

Just when Chang'an City was quietly changing, Guo Jia and his party had already gone around from the pass into the hinterland of Si Li. Along the way, they stopped and stopped, and they never encountered a single soldier patrolling the town, neither the scouts sent out nor the march of a large army.

This situation is a little wrong, although the heavy troops of the division are stationed in Chencang Pass, but other places will also scatter a little people to deal with emergencies, how can there be a team of people not encountered? It was as if the entire barracks were empty.

"Is it a conspiracy?" Diao Chan rode on a horse and raised his eyes into the distance, and a faint outline of Chang'an City on the horizon faintly appeared, like a dormant giant beast.

Since discovering Yang Biao's calculations, Diao Chan feels that there is a conspiracy when he sees everything.

"Probably really."

This time, neither Jia Xu nor Guo Jia refuted her, the two got together and muttered for a while, and decided to give the order to speed up the march and strive to reach the outside of Chencang Pass before dark tomorrow. Jia Xu had already received a reply from Xun You, and the other party said that he was ready to attack and was just waiting for them to arrive.

"Huh?" Diao Chan looked into the distance for a while, and just when Jia Xu urged her to hurry up and stop playing, Diao Chan suddenly said, "Someone is coming!" ”

Following Diao Chan's guidance, there was indeed a rider from afar in the open field.

"Only one person?" Jia Xu narrowed his eyes and raised his hand to signal the whole army to be on alert.

In the blink of an eye, the other party ran in front of him, and the two sides looked at each other, and Diao Chan immediately recognized that this was one of the Si Liwei who sneaked into Chang'an with Shen Xian: "Why are you?!" What are you out for? What about the lord? ”

"Diao Chan girl!" Si Liwei turned over and dismounted, presented the token with both hands, and said breathlessly: "The lord united with the Tiger Benying to launch a coup d'Γ©tat, suppressed Yu Linwei and Wei Wei, detained Fu Gong and Xun Youruo in the palace, and sent us out of the city to deliver the message, so that Mr. Xun could support as soon as possible!" ”

Guo Jia: "......"

Jia Xu's eyes widened in disbelief: "What did the lord do?" ”
