Chapter 51: The Yellow Sparrow Follows
On the long march, more than 1,000 foot soldiers marched on the road from Yanshi to Hou Shiwu.
Several horsemen in the formation are surrounded by red curtains, most of them are similar to Sun Jian's eyebrows, and they are all heroic and brave.
The first person wears a ring sword on his waist and wears armor, and he is in the middle of the yellow cloth robe, and the flag is displayed behind him, and the word Sun is written, this person is named Sun Jing, the younger brother of Sun Jian of Changsha, when Sun Jian first raised his army, he led his clan brothers and family soldiers to help Sun Jian.
There was a heroic young man beside Sun Jing, who was also surrounded by a red cloth and a robe, with a big horse and a spear on his hip, and asked Sun Jing with his hand: "Uncle, the lord sent us to assist Captain Zhu Yu Hou, but now in the past three hours, the beacon fire in the dock fort has been extinguished, why don't we cross the horse and whip, but drag the march, aren't we afraid of being ambushed by the thieves on the road?" ”
Sun Jing glanced at his nephew, this is the only son of his brother Sun Qiang, the brother and sister-in-law died prematurely, Sun Ben was raised by Sun Jian, as early as the Yellow Turban period, he followed Sun Jian as a teenager to go around, made several contributions, and now leads the power of captain in the army.
More than 1,000 soldiers beside them are also surnamed Sun, it can be said that this is the most elite army under Sun Jian, Dazhu Ze, Wancheng Fortification, Pacification of Jizhou, Battle Sanfu, Kill Changsha District Star, Break Zhou Dynasty, Guo Shi, it can be said that this miscellaneous army composed of Sun's athletes accompanied Sun Jian to walk all over the Liu family, wherever there is a rebellion, there are their fighting figures.
In the past seven years, these miscellaneous soldiers have now become a battle-hardened army of tigers and wolves.
"Boyang, you don't understand this, let my uncle tell you." Sun Jing looked into the distance, raised his hand and swept the jungle on both sides of the road, and said with a smile: "My brother wants me to lead Erlang south to fight the thieves to recover the Hou clan and maintain the blockade of Yanyu and the two states, but the forces of the horse thieves are now gathered in the nearby woods and hidden." ”
As soon as the words fell, Sun Ben hurriedly looked around, amused Sun Jing with great joy, patted Sun Ben's shoulder and said with a smile: "Virtuous nephew, don't look at it, they won't attack me hastily." ”
"Why is that?"
"Fishing should be baited, Hou Wu is the bait of Ma Yue, he just wants to lure us out of the city and fight with him, his Liangzhou soldiers are all saying that people are tall and big, and we may not be their opponents in the field." Saying that, Sun Jing couldn't help but sigh with emotion: "Wentai is very brave, and he has calculated how much ability Xiaoma has, this battle is difficult to win!" ”
Sun Ben was puzzled: "If my uncle knows that Hou Wu is a bait for Ma Yue, why should I go out of the city, just wait for him to attack the door." ”
"It's great to wait for work with ease, but our grain roads are all provided for Yanzhou, if it is difficult to defeat the enemy, it will change over time." Sun Jing said: "Because of this, although we are out of the city, we are not baited, but it is different from Ma Yue's bait. He let Hou Wu not increase his troops to send reinforcements to the encirclement point, so Wentai concluded that Ma Yue would definitely hide in the shadows at this moment and observe our every move. ”
Sun Ben didn't turn his head anymore, but just clenched the spear in his hand and nodded calmly.
"We're trying to attract the enemy's attention as bait, so that they'll scout all the scouts around us, carefully checking where our invisible reinforcements are. This is used for the benefit of the whole situation. ”
"Well, uncle, nephew knows." Sun Ben nodded and continued: "If we wait for a quick attack, it will be easy to fall into the enemy's trap, and it will be difficult for reinforcements to arrive." If our troops move slowly, the enemy will not dare to move lightly. But uncle, where are the reinforcements from my department, why can't my nephew see it at all? ”
"Uh...... Eldest nephew, uncle only said that we were bait, when did he say that there were reinforcements on the side? Sun Jing didn't feel relaxed in her words, she just sighed and said, "We are a lonely army, just take it out to coax Ma Yue." Your Uncle Zhong didn't plan to rescue Hou Shiwu, we just moved south temporarily. At the same time, the Yuan Highway Taishou, which was supposed to converge with our army, should have gathered troops at Taigu Pass, and the cavalry captains Bao Xin and Wang Kuang also advanced with their troops on the south bank of the Yellow River...... As long as we pretend to be some, Ma Yue won't have a chance to beat us. He took Hou Shiwu, which is good...... Let's take down his entire Henan Yin and hit the root of the Luoyang city wall! ”
Sun Ben's eyes widened, and he raised his hand and asked in surprise: "This, this is the middle father's strategy?" ”
According to the strategy of Ma Yue's subordinates, he sent a force that looked like an elite soldier and a suspicious soldier to rescue Hou Shiwu, so that Ma Yue threw himself into a trap, and in fact, he had already united the forces of several princes to march behind his main force, and the momentum of these tens of thousands of troops entering Sizhou alone was enough to shake the world.
Sun Ben clenched his fists excitedly, this battle, Jiangdong Sun's family, will be famous all over the world!
……
The world shook, and the princes of all parties raised troops and went straight to the imperial capital, and Luoyang, as the center of the world, was also chaotic and uneasy.
"Hussar general, you won't repair the gate of the mansion if it's broken." Yuan Shao pushed the door in, "You really should send this thing to the palace for Your Majesty and the Empress Dowager Dong to see, what kind of person Ma Yue is!" ”
The hussars in the palace were shocked, and they were startled by Yuan Shao again, and Xun You, who was behind the door of the house, had already drawn his sword on the side, and saw that it was Yuan Shao who collected his troops into the sheath.
"It's the beginning, alas." Dong Zhong shook his head dejectedly, beckoned and said, "Come up and sit." ”
Yuan Shao grabbed the scroll and frowned, looked at the staff around him, raised his feet and walked in, and then sat down and said to Dong Chong: "Hussar, look at it, the master book named Tian Yi under Dong Zhuo's command smashed open the doors of the four princes, three princes, five townsmen, and fourteen pavilion marquis today, and asked for food, money, and cloth in the name of filling military funds, and the whole Luoyang was made by it. ”
Dong Zhong gritted his teeth and didn't say anything, took a deep breath, and didn't even look at Yuan Shao. Yuan Shao looked left and right, and found that everyone's faces were covered with a layer of gray, and asked uneasily, "Is this ...... What's wrong? ”
"Dong Zhuo, I just came to Hussar Mansion." Xun You pointed to the door of the mansion facing outside the hall and said: "The fighting man was not allowed to enter the door, and he stepped on the horse to break through the door of the mansion. ”
Xun You said that there was no anger at all about this, and his face was as calm as water, but Yuan Shao was shocked.
"How dare the Dong thief be so arrogant?"
Xun Yu closed the door of the mansion and sat at the end of the seat, and asked expressionlessly: "Tian Yi also went to the Yuan Mansion, and I heard Dong Zhuo say, your family wants to order someone to take 5,000 stone essence millet, but is there such a thing?" ”
"Is there such a thing? I haven't returned home yet, don't look at me like that, I heard about it from the Ding Gong Mansion, so I hurriedly ran here. Yuan Shao frowned and said, "What is Dong Zhongying sitting on?" ”
Dong Chong frowned, and He Yu, who had gray hair, did not speak, and finally Xun Yu said angrily: "What else can I do, come and ask for money and food, and use the power in my hands to rampage." Also, Zheng Tai was killed by Dong Zhuo. ”
"What!" Yuan Shao sat up suddenly, opened his hand and asked, "Zheng Gongye is dead?" He, how dare Dong Zhuo? ”
"Ugh."
With a heavy sigh, Dong Chong was really frightened by Dong Zhuo, and dragged Yuan Shao and said: "Don't be impulsive at the beginning, right now Dong Zhuo is in charge of the thousands of soldiers and horses left by Ma Yue in addition to the eight hundred tigers under his subordinates, we can't help him, so don't worry about this matter." ”
"How can it?" Yuan Shao waved his sleeves violently and said to Dong Chong: "The Son of Heaven is still young, and the Queen Mother is old and can still understand." But you are a hussar general, and you should stand up and uphold justice at such a time, both in public and private, so can you be indifferent to the killing of your loyal courtiers? What a shame! ”
Yuan Shao bowed his hand to Dong Chong and said, "If the general insists on this, then I can only ask for forgiveness for Yuan Shao's sin of betrayal." ”
"Good! At the beginning, if you intend to support the overall situation, the younger brother can plan for you, and great things can be achieved! Xun You had a black face from Yuan Shao's entry, and as soon as Yuan Shao's words came out, he was ecstatic and said: "What should you do, no one dared to stop Dong Zhuo when he killed Zheng Gongye today, but Wang Bin, the uncle who had been in Luoyang for less than half a month, led the cavalry to arrive, and almost broke out in the city. ”
Dong Chong didn't expect that a dissuasion would become this result, his eyes widened in disbelief, his heart was angry but he didn't dare to speak, he knew very well that the court today was different from what it used to be, and there were many people in Luoyang who were afraid of him, but the people here were not among them.
After all, after Wenling and Ma Yue competed, there were still these sons of the public mansion by their side, and if these people left, they would be truly helpless. He knew very well that the current Empress Dowager couldn't control the little emperor who believed in Ma Yue, and he, a hussar general, couldn't control the old subordinate pony. At the moment, he didn't care about his face, and hurriedly said: "Don't be in a hurry, I mean don't act rashly first, make a good plan, you misunderstood what I meant, how can a hussar general ignore the traitorous and chaotic government?" Don't be in a hurry, don't be in a hurry. ”
Yuan Shao straightened his clothes, gave Xun You a look, turned to Dong Chong and said, "The hussar general is so open-minded, please forgive me for being rude." ”
Dong Chongjian appeased Yuan Shao, then he took a long breath and stroked his heart and smiled: "It's almost called the original misunderstanding, it's not strange, it's not strange." ”
"General, for the sake of today's plan, you should use the influence of the court to oppose Dong Zhuo and bring these unstoppable people to justice, and please enter the palace as soon as possible to meet the Empress Dowager, explain the pros and cons, and change Empress Dowager Dong's opinion of Ma Yue...... Whether it is Ma Yue or Dong Zhuo, they can't stay in Luoyang. ”
"No, no, please listen to me with the hussar general." As soon as Yuan Shao's voice fell, Xun You immediately stepped forward and said: "For this time, the highway connects Sun Jian and the Taishou Assassin Shi from all over the country has raised troops to oppose Ma Yue's monopoly on government affairs, and the highway has made such a sacrifice, and we should also do our part for the world!" At present, Ma Yue is outside, although he has been on the battlefield for a long time, I am foolish to see that he may not be Sun Jian's opponent, once Wang Shi is defeated, Ma Yue's reputation in the world will inevitably be frustrated, and at that time, it is time for us to serve the world. ”
"Does Gongda have a plan?"
"There is no plan for the time being, but these horses in Luoyang may not all be Ma Yue, and they are even less loyal to Dong Zhuo...... This could be done at the beginning. Xun You looked outside, frowned and said, "In this world, where is there an impermeable wall?" ”
