Chapter 778 [Great Change]
Where had the little emperor seen such a bloody scene, seeing Dong Zhuo being chopped into a pile of flesh and blood, instead of feeling afraid, he felt happy from the bottom of his heart.
Ma Chao glanced at the little emperor, and when he saw the excitement on the little emperor's face, he asked, "Does Your Majesty hate Dong Zhuo?" ”
"Hate!"
Ma Chao directly took out the sword in his waist, handed the sword to the little emperor, and said to the little emperor: "Since Your Majesty hates Dong Zhuo, you should personally kill him, please take this sword and cut off Dong Zhuo's head." ”
The little emperor didn't know where the courage came from at this time, seeing that Dong Zhuo was dead, everyone else also dodged away, only a pile of meat puree, but only the head was intact, as if waiting for him to cut it. He took the sword handed over by Ma Chao, walked straight to Dong Zhuo's bloody corpse, first stretched out his foot and stepped on Dong Zhuo's face, laughed happily, and then swung his sword to cut Dong Zhuo's head.
The little emperor's strength really didn't dare to compliment, he was not even as good as a girl, and he slashed more than 20 swords in a row, which only then did he cut off Dong Zhuo's head, but his body was full of bloodstains, and Dong Zhuo's blood was all over his body. He stretched out his tongue, licked the blood on the side of his mouth, held the long sword and laughed: "Dong Zhuo old thief, I didn't expect you to have today, I finally killed you, hahaha!" ”
Ma Chao saw the little emperor's proud face, so he walked in front of the little emperor and said to the little emperor: "Your Majesty, I can protect you from being bullied forever, let me stay by His Majesty's side in the future." ”
The little emperor held the long sword tightly, and said with a happy face: "Okay, Ma Chao, you are a loyal minister, and when I return to Luoyang, ......"
Ma Chao suddenly interrupted the little emperor's words: "No! Can't meet Luoyang, Dong Zhuo's soldiers are still fighting with the coalition forces in Luoyang. There is already chaos, I took His Majesty back to Chang'an, Chang'an is the old capital of the Han Dynasty, and the terrain there is dangerous, and there are my father's soldiers and horses, which can completely protect His Majesty from being bullied by outsiders. ”
"Why don't you go back to Luoyang? But my mother. And those princes and ministers......"
"Your Majesty, rest assured, my father will find a way to bring all the civil and military officials to Chang'an."
The little emperor said "um", returned the long sword to Ma Chao, and said softly: "Meng Qi, you are really good to me. ”
Ma Chao smiled: "As long as Your Majesty knows that my father and I are really protecting Your Majesty, now that Dong Zhuo is dead, we don't have to worry, let's wait here for my father to come back, and then go back to Chang'an together." Good no good? ”
The little emperor obeyed Ma Chao's words, and in his heart, Ma Chao was the closest person to him.
Ma Chao asked the little emperor to take a bath and change clothes, and he said to a relue: "You carry Dong Zhuo's head, go to my father, this head should be able to prevent my father from fighting with the Kwantung coalition army." ”
The soldier said "no", carried Dong Zhuo's head, and went out.
At the same time, outside the city of Luoyang. In Lin Nanjun's camp, a shout came from the big tent of the Chinese army: "Lin Yang." Let Guo Jia come in......"
Guo Jia, under the leadership of Lin Yang, walked straight into the camp where Lin Nan was, and Lin Nan was the only one in the camp.
"Lord, my subordinates have brought Guo Jia here."
Lin Nan nodded, waved his hand at Lin Yang, and motioned for him to step back. At the same time, he commanded: "No one is allowed to come in without my orders." ”
Lin Yang turned around and walked out of the big tent, staying outside the tent, and at the same time lowered the curtain of the tent.
After Guo Jia came out of Shisun Mansion, he was taken out of the city by Lin Yang. He hid outside the city until Lin Nan led his troops to camp the army, and then returned to Lin Nan's camp at dusk.
Lin Nan leaned forward, stretched out his hand and pushed the wine that had been poured in front of him forward, looked at Guo Jia who was calm in front of him, and said directly: "Fengxiao, please sit down!" ”
Guo Jia was also unceremoniously, walked straight over, sat opposite Lin Nan, and asked puzzledly, "Why didn't the general kill me?" ”
Lin Nan smiled and didn't answer, only pointed to the wine glass in front of Guo Jia, and said slowly: "Please drink this glass, and I'll talk to you in detail later." ”
Guo Jia picked up the wine glass and drank it all, and as soon as the spicy wine entered his throat, he choked and coughed a few times. He hurriedly covered his mouth with his hand, and said very embarrassedly: "Don't blame the general, it's the first time you drink." ”
Lin Nan saw that Guo Jia was handsome and thin, and the madness in the hall of Shisun Mansion during the day was completely gone, in exchange for elegance, he felt a little happy in his heart. He raised the wine glass, drank it all, and when he put down the wine glass, he said slowly: "During the day, everyone is angry, and I have no choice but to make this decision, you slandered me in front of so many civil and military ministers, what is your intention, who made you do this, and whose doorman are you?" ”
Guo Jia said with a smile: "Fengxiao is just a cloth cloth, not long after he arrived in Luoyang, he mixed into Shisun Mansion, just to sensationalize the public and gain a reputation, he is not a guest of no one, nor does he have any intentions, just casual nonsense." ”
"Hehe, Shisun Mansion has always been heavily guarded, and the people invited to the banquet are either rich or noble, if there is no post from Shisun Mansion, can you get in?"
"The general is too worried, there is a dog hole in the back wall of Shisun Mansion, Xiao Ke climbed into it from the dog hole, and he was almost bitten by a dog, not as the general said."
Lin Nan saw that Guo Jia no longer had the madness of the day, nor the immaturity of the day, looking at the sixteen-year-old boy in front of him, what he saw in Guo Jia was unusually calm, and he was also very refined when he spoke.
Lin Nan picked up the wine jug, poured himself a glass of wine, poured another glass for Guo Jia, and when he put down the wine jug, he said softly: "I heard that you once worked as a doorman in Yuan Shao's Taiwei Mansion, is there such a thing?" ”
"The general's news is really well-informed, from Shisun Mansion to now, it has only been more than an hour, and the general can find out that I have been a doorman in Yuan Shao's mansion, which is really admirable."
Guo Jia was not surprised, and his answers were fluent, which made Lin Nan appreciate it very much.
"As long as I want to know, there is no news that I can't get it. I heard that before Dong Zhuo entered Luoyang, you once scolded Yuan Shao, so you were expelled from the Taiwei Mansion by Yuan Shao and have been living on the streets ever since. Is there such a thing? ”
"Since the general has already found out, why bother asking?"
Lin Nan raised the wine glass and put it to his lips, his eyes were always looking at Guo Jia opposite, and he kept thinking in his heart: "Yuan Shao is wide on the outside and taboo on the inside, and Guo Jia is clothed." is an unknown person again, Guo Jia once abused Yuan Shao, according to Yuan Shao's character, he will definitely kill Guo Jia. However, Yuan Shao only expelled Guo Jia from the Taiwei Mansion, nothing more. And Guo Jia also became famous in Luoyang City because of this, but then he suddenly disappeared, and people often saw him in various streets and alleys, but they couldn't tell where he was. Is it to avoid Yuan Shao's pursuit? ”
He drank with a grunt. Lin Nan slowly put the wine glass on the table, but secretly continued to think: "No, if Yuan Shao really wants to kill someone, no matter where that person is hiding, he will be found, so it can be seen that Yuan Shao did not give the order to kill Guo Jia, but according to Yuan Shao's character." Someone abused him, but he didn't kill the man. It seems a little unreasonable......"
"Is the general wondering why Yuan Shao didn't kill me in the first place?"
Lin Nan's hand had already touched the tabletop, and when he suddenly heard Guo Jia's question, he was shocked, and the wine glass he was holding in his hand was accidentally crooked by him. Raising his eyelids, he glanced at the young man in front of him, and thought to himself, "Ghost genius Guo Jia." At such a young age, you can see through my mind, and this wisdom is really not simple. ”
Picking up the wine glass, a faint smile appeared on the corner of Lin Nan's mouth, and asked, "Do you have anything to explain to me?" ”
Guo Jia said: "Since the general asked." That Xiao Ke naturally has to explain. Although Xiao Ke is young, he has a wide range of friends, and many of the guests in Yuan Shao's Mansion are familiar with Xiao Ke, such as Judge, Guo Tu, Xin Ping, Xiao Ji, Xin Bi, Chen Lin, etc., all of whom have good friends with Xiao Ke, so under their persuasion, Yuan Shaocai did not kill me, but expelled me from the Taiwei Mansion. ”
"That's all?" Lin Nan asked as he poured his wine.
Guo Jia said lightly: "That's all." ”
"Yuan Shao is indecisive, and there are many strategists around him, there is indeed this possibility, it seems that I am too careful." Lin Nan raised his wine glass and said to Guo Jia, "You appeared in Shisun Mansion today not just to be famous, right?" If you talk about reputation, you have already been famous in the whole city when you insulted Yuan Shao, and you didn't say your name at that time, you only regarded yourself as a little princess, and the minister of civil and military affairs naturally didn't know who you were, I want to know the purpose of your doing this. ”
Guo Jia said with a smile: "General Lin is eloquent, can't you guess it?" I deliberately slandered the general, but the general did not change his face, and easily turned his disadvantage into an advantage, which Xiao Ke appreciated very much. The general only used a small trick to turn around the Manchu civil and military coaxing, and this intelligence is very much what people can have. I once heard that Cao Cao in Yanzhou was known as the traitor of troubled times, and I originally planned to take refuge in him, but after seeing the general today, I learned that Cao Cao was nothing more than that. ”
"Oh? Are you going to come to me and deliberately get my attention? Lin Nan picked up the wine glass, drank the third glass, and asked quietly.
"Not bad! It was I who came to join the general. Guo Jiayi said sternly, "Although Cao Cao is a traitor, he can't see the situation clearly, and compared with the general, he is naturally a little worse." ”
"What do you mean by that?" Lin Nan asked.
Guo Jia explained slowly: "Dong Zhuo's army was defeated, and Cao Cao went straight to Ao Cang, but he didn't come to Luoyang, which was his mistake. Aocang is the important place of the entire division, how can there be no heavy guards. Even Yuan Shao knew that he was going straight to Luoyang, but he insisted on going to Aocang, which was unwise. Compared with the general's playing with the heroes, it is naturally a little worse. ”
Lin Nan smiled: "It seems that you don't know Cao Cao, and your analysis is only one-sided." In fact, Cao Cao knew that there were tigers in the mountains, and he preferred to go to the tiger mountains, because his army was almost out of food, and if there was no more food and grass, his army of 30,000 would starve to death. Luoyang is important, but he can think of it, others can also think of it, instead of fighting for Luoyang who enters first, it is better to abandon Luoyang and go straight to Aocang, once he gets the grain and grass of Aocang, he will have enough grain and grass, and firmly control the grain and grass in his own hands, so as to control the lifeblood of the entire coalition army, this is the real Cao Cao! ”
After Guo Jia listened, the expression on his face floated, and his brows furrowed slightly, he didn't expect Lin Nan to be able to spy on Cao Cao's intentions, and even he didn't spy on this intention. He was a little puzzled, and asked casually: "Since the general knows the key to Ao Cang and knows Cao Cao's intentions, why don't you rush ahead of Cao Cao to occupy Ao Cang." Once the entire Aocang is controlled, doesn't the general hold the lifeblood of the coalition army in his hands? ”
"I'll just talk straight ......" Lin Nan drank the fourth glass of wine, and when he put down the wine glass, he said slowly, "This is the truth that you can't have both fish and bear's paws." Luoyang is the land of Gyeonggi, and the princes who enter Luoyang first will inevitably be able to ask for merit in front of His Majesty. became the first contribution to the expulsion of Dong Zhuo, which is the key to many princes fighting for their heads to come to Luoyang. However, no one expected that His Majesty the Emperor would be taken away by Dong Zhuo in advance. Do you regret not going to Cao Cao now, but coming to me? ”
Guo Jia shook his head and said loudly: "No! I followed the general, since the general can gain insight into Cao Cao's actions, this shows that the general's intelligence is far above Cao Cao. I, Guo Fengxiao, have always been pretentious, but I have never met talents. I thought that I would be able to win a reputation by entering the Taiwei Mansion, but Yuan Shao was not a person who achieved great things, so I came out, inquired about the news everywhere in the streets and alleys of Luoyang, visited the Ming Lord, and was able to meet the general today, and it was not in vain that my talent was in vain. Bong-hyo implored the general to take him in, and Bong-hyo would be used by the general for the rest of his life. No two minds! ”
As soon as the words fell, Guo Jia kowtowed to Lin Nan. The words are earnest, and the words are impassioned.
Lin Nan was naturally happy, hurriedly got up, walked to Guo Jia's side, helped Guo Jia up, and said happily: "I have to be filial." It's like getting ginger teeth! ”
Guo Jia compared himself to Jiang Taigong, and gave himself the nickname of Little Taigong, and at this time, he was naturally happy to hear Lin Nan call him like this. In addition to being happy, Guo Jia did not forget to recommend his friends. Immediately said: "Lord, I have a few friends who have forgotten the year, and now they are gathered in Luoyang City, and they are all looking for the master, I want to recommend it to the lord, I don't know if the lord can take it in?" ”
Lin Nan was short of talents, and when he heard Guo Jia say this, he nodded heavily: "Of course take it in, how many friends you have recommended it together!" ”
Guo Jia said: "The people recommended by Xiao Ke are naturally people with strategy and intelligence, otherwise, Xiao Ke will not make friends with them." These people are all celebrities, more famous than Xiao Ke, so I will go to the city to bring these friends and come together to meet the lord. ”
Lin Nan said: "Okay, okay, I asked Lin Yang to escort you into the city, now it's night, Luoyang City is very calm on the surface, but in fact, there is a murderous motive hidden in secret, if there is no one to protect you, I don't worry." ”
Guo Jia smiled: "Thank you for your concern, I'll go and take them all out of the city." ”
"Lin Yang!" Lin Nan shouted outside the door, "You escort Feng Xiao into the city, don't leave an inch, and you can't let him make any mistakes." ”
Lin Yang walked in, hugged his fists and said, "No! ”
Lin Nan personally sent Lin Yang and Guo Jia out of the big tent and watched them disappear into the night. Turning back to the big tent, he shouted loudly: "Two military advisors, you can come out." ”
As soon as the voice fell, I saw Jia Xu and Xun You walking out from behind a roller curtain, clasping their fists together and saying, "See the lord!" ”
"Excuse me!" Lin Nan walked up to Jia Xu and Xun Yu and asked, "How is it?" How is this teenager named Guo Jia? ”
Jia Xu said: "Guo Fengxiao has such resourcefulness at a young age, he is indeed a rare talent, and it seems that he will become a pivotal strategist under the main account in the future." ”
Xun You also appreciated: "This person can be called a good talent, if he assists the lord, he will definitely make the lord like a tiger." ”
Lin Nan laughed and said, "The doubts of the two gentlemen can also be dispelled, it seems that Guo Jia was not specially sent by Yuan Shao." By the way, what are the injuries of Xu Huang and Wei Yan? ”
Xun You said: "It's not a big deal, you just need to recuperate." Huang Zhong, Chen Dao, and Wen Ping have also been arranged, and Zhao Yun and Tai Shici have also taken soldiers and horses to patrol day and night, and there will be nothing for the time being. It's just that I don't know if the other princes will fight for your life in the palace? ”
Lin Nan said with a smile: "The palace is empty, all the eunuchs and palace maids have come out, and the news has been released, and a few soldiers and horses from all kinds of princes will inevitably gather in the palace tonight." It seems that after Lu Bu returns, we can go back to Youzhou. ”
The three of them planned something more for each other, and then they separated. Lin Nan waited alone in the tent, drinking and reading Sun Tzu's Art of War. He felt that Sun Tzu's Art of War was indeed a peerless masterpiece, the more he read, the more energetic he became, and the more he read, the broader his horizons became, although it was only more than 5,000 words, but the real taste was endless.
I don't know how long I read it, but Lin Yang's voice came from outside: "See the lord, Guo Jia has already returned with a few gentlemen." ”
Lin Nan hurriedly asked Lin Yang to invite a few people into the big tent. Seeing Guo Jia walking in with four people of different ages, he hurriedly said, "Gentlemen, please sit down!" ”
Guo Jia and the other five people visited the shrine together: "Thank you, lord!" ”
As soon as he sat down here, Guo Jia introduced: "Lord, these are the friends of his subordinates, they are Xu Yu from Nanyang, Xun Chen and Zhong Xuan from Yingchuan. Qinghe native Cui Yan. ”
When Lin Nan heard the names of these four people, a smile immediately appeared on his face, and he arched his hand and said, "Welcome to the arrival of the four gentlemen!" ”
Xu You, Xun Chen, Zhong Xuan, and Cui Yan bowed together: "I will wait to see the lord, and from now on I am willing to follow the lord and let the lord drive." ”
Looking at the five new celebrities in front of him, Lin Nan's heart was also quite comforted. He immediately had a conversation with Guo Jia, Xu You, Xun Chen, Zhong Xuan, and Cui Yan, and the content of the conversation was nothing more than the shortcomings of some parents, and he also completely figured out the personality charm of Guo Jia, the little ghost.
The night gradually became thicker, and Lin Nan didn't say much. asked Lin Yang to arrange a few camp tents in the barracks for Guo Jia, Xu You, Xun Chen, Zhong Xuan, and Cui Yan to rest, and to prepare a little food. The five people are not from Luoyang, and their families are not in Luoyang, so they don't need to go back to Luoyang City.
After sending these five people away, Lin Nan felt much more relaxed, because when talking to the scribes, he always had to be a little more reserved. And you should also be elegant in your speech, not as straightforward as when you talk to a martial artist. After all, these five people have just come to join him, so they have to be courteous.
Standing outside the camp tent and looking at the night sky, and then at the majestic Luoyang City, he guessed that there would be a good show in the North Palace tonight, and all the princes who had arrived here would take their relatives to play hide and seek in the North Palace of Luoyang, who could find the jade seal of the country. He wasn't very clear.
With a smile on his face, he turned around and was about to leave, when he heard a group of soldiers and horses coming from outside the camp. Looking back, he saw that Sun Jian took Cheng Pu and Huang Gai to the camp accompanied by Zhao Yun, which was beyond his expectations.
Catch up. Lin Nan arched his hand towards Sun Jian: "It turned out to be Brother Wentai, I don't know what Brother Wentai is talking about here?" ”
Sun Jian also smiled, and arched his hand: "I'm here to say goodbye to the virtuous brother......
"Brother Wentai is leaving?" As Lin Nan spoke, he welcomed Sun Jian into the big tent, and at the same time motioned for Zhao Yun to retreat.
After entering the camp tent, Lin Nan and Sun Jian sat down as guests and hosts, and Cheng Pu and Huang Gai stood behind Lin Nan, only to hear Sun Jian smile happily: "Yes, something happened in Changsha, and I can't stay here for too long, so I'm in a hurry to go back." I'll leave tomorrow at dawn, so I'm here to say goodbye to my brother in advance. ”
"But...... His Majesty is still in Dong Zhuo's hands, and Brother Wentai, as a great hero, won't he wait a few days? ”
"Don't wait, if there is a person like Brother Xian here, Dong Zhuo will definitely give the head, and Lu Bu is also chasing after him, it is estimated that he is carrying Dong Zhuo's head back to Luoyang at this time. I've been out for a while, and the soldiers and generals I'm tired of, plus the thieves in Changsha are swarming, so I have to go back to quell the rebellion. ”
"Oh." Lin Nan pondered for a moment, then asked casually, "Brother Wentai didn't enter Luoyang City today?" ”
Sun Jian said: "What am I doing in Luoyang City?" I have no relatives and no reason in Luoyang, unlike those who have relatives and friends in Luoyang, so I don't need to go in. ”
"I heard...... Yuan Shao, Yuan Shu, Liu Biao and other princes have all entered Luoyang, the purpose is to find out the lost heirloom jade seal, doesn't Brother Wentai want to enter Luoyang City to get a piece of the pie? ”
Sun Jian sneered and said: "The jade seal of the country is the thing of the Son of Heaven, and it is naturally a great achievement to find it, but there are many people who go, and it is inevitable that there will be some friction. Brother Xian, do you have a plan? ”
"I'll wait for two more days, I heard that Cao Cao has occupied Aocang and seized a small half of Aocang's grain and grass, I want to wait for him to arrive in Luoyang, borrow some grain and grass, and then go back to Youzhou. Besides, Liu Yu's soldiers and horses have not yet arrived, so if we came together, we naturally have to go back together. ”
Sun Jian smiled, stood up slowly, and arched his hand: "Brother Xian, if you say goodbye today, I don't know when we can meet, don't forget the agreement between us, I'm in the south, you're in the north, and I'll ...... when the time comes."
"Brother Wentai, don't worry, I won't forget it. If Brother Wentai occupies Jiangdong, please send someone to inform me, if the land route is not smooth, Brother Wentai can take the sea route, there are many places in Youzhou close to the sea, and the news can be sent to my Youzhou. If you can. We can also trade by sea, and we can also increase our affection for each other, don't you say? ”
Sun Jian said with a smile: "Brother Xian's mention is very good, there are few horses in the south, and there are many iron, rice, and salt in the Wuyue area, and the bitter cold land of Youzhou." I'm afraid I won't be able to eat rice from the south, so I can transport some for my virtuous brother. Of course, the virtuous brother must give me two years, and within two years, I will definitely dominate the six counties of Jiangdong, and then how about shipping? ”
Lin Nan said with a smile: "Very good, then let's make an appointment for two years, the south ship and the north horse, and I hope that Brother Wentai can bring a group of craftsmen who build sea ships." After I built a sea boat, I was able to transport horses to Brother Wentai by sea. ”
Sun Jian nodded, stretched out an arm, opened his palm completely, and said with a smile: "Good brother, let's make a decision!" ”
Lin Nan grabbed Sun Jian's arm, held Sun Jian's hand tightly, and smiled happily: "Good brother." Deal. ”
The two hugged each other again for a long time before parting. In the end, Sun Jian said goodbye, and Lin Nan personally sent Sun Jian out of Yuanmen, and then returned to the camp.
At this time, Lin Yang walked into the camp tent and said to Lin Nan: "My lord, Shisun You has sent a message. There was already movement in the North Palace, Yuan Shao, Liu Biao, and Yuan Shu had already entered with people, and later Liu Xuan, Yuan Yi, Kong Yi, Zhang Miao, Zhang Chao, Wang Kuang, Zhang Yang, and others all sneaked in secretly with several people. ”
Lin Nan smiled: "Very good, let Shi Sun You continue to monitor, and let him sue his father Shi Sun Rui." Do your best to encourage the rich gentry to prepare to leave Luoyang. ”
Lin Yang hesitated for a moment and asked: "Lord, Shisun Rui was born as a businessman, and there is no one who is not treacherous in all businessmen, can such a person be trusted?" ”
"Don't worry, I have already told Shi Sun Rui in private, as long as he is willing to go back to Youzhou with me, I can let him get rid of the identity of a businessman, for Shi Sun Rui, He Jin, Yuan Shao, Dong Zhuo, he has all stammered, but these three people almost all take money and do nothing, only his money, not his people. He wanted his son Shisun You to have a good way out, and now Luoyang is bound to have a fight. He is the capital of Luoyang, as long as he is willing to take the lead in returning to Youzhou with me, the rest of the rich gentry and people will follow. Shi Sun Rui and I use each other, he uses my identity and destiny that I can't change for a few lifetimes, and I use him to attract wealth and population. Okay, you don't have to worry about it, just do what I say in the future. ”
"No! However, there is one more thing, Lu Bu's subordinate Zhang Liao came, just now his subordinates saw that the lord was meeting Sun Jian, so he asked him to rest in the barracks of his subordinates, do you want to see him now? ”
"Zhang Liao? He's also here, is he here to take refuge in me? Lin Nan said happily, "Hurry up and let him come, I want to see him." ”
Lin Yang turned around and withdrew from the tent, and when he came back again, there was one more person behind him. After he put the man in the tent, he himself stayed outside the tent.
Wenyuan...... What are you doing here? As soon as Lin Nan saw Zhang Liao, he seemed very happy and greeted him personally.
Zhang Liao was also very happy, and bowed at the moment: "See General Lin!" ”
Lin Nan grabbed Zhang Liao's hand, walked to the seat on the side, and said happily: "Wenyuan, you came late at night, there must be a reason, is there something to tell me?" ”
Zhang Liao's brows suddenly furrowed, the joy on his face disappeared, and he sighed softly: "My lord has pursued Dong Zhuo and has not returned yet, Dong Zhuo's army is very powerful, and there are many people, what if my lord has any accidents...... General Lin, I came tonight to ask General Lin to send troops to help me. ”
"Oh, it turned out that I came here for Lu Bu, not for me." Lin Nan thought secretly in his heart, and the joy on his face disappeared.
Zhang Liao continued: "If my lord doesn't come back tomorrow, I will lead all the soldiers and horses in Bingzhou to look for the lord, but the cavalry has been taken away by my lord, and the rest is only the infantry, and the person with the most cavalry in the entire coalition army is only General Lin, so I want to ......."
"Wen Yuan, Feng Xian is indeed brave and unmatched, he can be called the best in the world, but he is too eager to kill, when he was in the Tiger Prison, he connived at Wei Xu to rape and kill those unarmed women, and he also once wanted to kill Ding Thorn Shi for a red rabbit horse, if I hadn't stepped forward in time to stop it, I'm afraid he would have made a big mistake. Such a money-hungry and repeated villain, is it worth your nostalgia? It's better to be like this, there is a shortage of talents like you in my army, how about you go with me and go back to Youzhou? ”
Zhang Liao's face was expressionless. After being silent for a long time, he said slowly: "The general's kindness Wen Yuan has received it." General Lu is my savior, if it weren't for General Lu, Wen Yuan would not have lived until now. Although General Lu was at fault, his heart was kind, and the reason why he did it was for us. He genuinely thinks about us subordinates. Bingzhou is a bitter cold place, worse than Youzhou, so the people are very poor, and there are Huns who belong to the Han Dynasty in Bingzhou, so the Han people are often bullied. It was General Lu who helped us, the men who annexed the state, and made the Huns afraid. I owe General Lu a life, and I will pay it back to him. If even I leave, then who will dare to say nothing in front of General Lu in the future? I was the only one who stayed and reminded General Lu from time to time. General Lu can always stay awake. Therefore, I can't go with General Lin, please forgive General Lin. ”
After Lin Nan heard this, he felt very admired for Zhang Liao's loyalty, and he thought that maybe only when Lu Bu died, Zhang Liao would find another way. He arched his hand towards Zhang Liao and said, "Wenyuan is loyal." I have a lot of admiration. But I, Lin Nan, am not a ruthless and unrighteous person, if there is anything wrong with Wen Yuan in Lu Bu. Please come to me, I, Lin Nan, will always open the door to you. I have also promised you about sending troops, and if Lu Bu does not come back by noon tomorrow, I will personally lead the troops to the west. ”
Zhang Liao arched his hand and said: "Thank you General Lin, Wen Yuan has thanked General Lin on behalf of my lord." ”
Lin Nan then laughed and talked with Zhang Liao for a while, and then sent Zhang Liao away. After watching Zhang Liao leave. Lin Nan sighed and said lightly: "After tonight, the world will change dramatically, and I should leave here as soon as possible to avoid being affected." ”
The next day was a very fresh and beautiful morning. The sun-drenched earth is gilded with gold, and the air is cold and sweet. On this blue, fresh dawn, the sun had just emerged from behind the top of the mountains, and the warmth of its first rays mingled with the coolness of the dying night, making one feel a sweet weariness.
Lin Nan was still asleep in the big tent, maybe because of Guo Jia and the others yesterday, or because he chatted happily with Wei Yan and Xu Huang when he visited Wei Yan and Xu Huang last night, in short, he slept very deeply, and he hadn't woken up when the sun rose.
"Lord...... Lord...... Lord ......"
Hearing several faint shouts in a row, Lin Nan opened his eyes in a daze, saw Jia Xu's face in a daze, and said dreamily: "Strategist, you are so early, what time is it now?" ”
It was the first time Jia Xu had seen Lin Nanqi so late, he looked at Lin Nan who was a little tired on his face, and whispered: "Lord, it's already three quarters of the hour...... Lord, hurry up, now the whole Luoyang City is about to fall into trouble......"
"What did you say?" Lin Nan's spirit was shocked, he sat up directly from the bed, and asked, "What did you just say?" What happened to Luoyang City? ”
Jia Xu said: "As the lord expected, there was a scuffle last night when those princes were looking for the jade seal of the heirloom country in the palace. At the beginning of the melee, Liu Miao was the first to run out, quickly left Luoyang, and then led the troops away overnight. The rest were still in the palace, and Yuan Shao killed Zhang Miao and Zhang Chao; Yuan Shu killed Kong Yi and Qiao Mao; Liu Biao killed Wang Kuang; Zhang Yang killed Yuan Yi. In the end, Liu Biao and Zhang Yang saw that the situation was not good, so they escaped, and the two brothers Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu trembled with each other in the palace, and as a result, Yuan Shao's account Yan Liang and Wen Chou killed Yuan Shu's four generals, and Yuan Shu escaped under the protection of Ji Ling. ”
Lin Nan saw that Jia Xu didn't mention the matter of the jade seal, so he hurriedly asked, "What about the jade seal?" In whose hands did it fall into? ”
Jia Xu said: "This is not very clear, in short, there has been a commotion inside and outside Luoyang City now." As soon as Zhang Miao and Zhang Chao's brothers died, Chen Gong under Zhang Miao led his subordinates to join the state soldiers, Lu Bu was not there, and the state soldiers were temporarily led by Zhang Yang, first annexed Yuan Yi's soldiers and horses, and then fought with Liu Biao to avenge Wang Kuang. And Yuan Shu merged Kong Shu and Qiao Mao's two armies, and Zang Hong, under Zhang Chao, in order to avenge Zhang Chao, led his troops to attach to Yuan Shu and fought with Yuan Shao. In the end, the melee evolved into two groups of people, one group is the state soldiers and Yuan Shu, the other group is Yuan Shao and Liu Biao, the two groups of people started to fight last night, and have been fighting until now, no one will let anyone in the Luoshui area in the south of Luoyang City, and it is difficult to solve. ”
"What about Sun Jian?"
"Sun Jian left early in the morning, as if he was following Liu Xuan."
Lin Nan hurriedly put on his clothes, and while getting dressed, he asked Jia Xu: "Didn't I say that Shi Sun You should guard the gate of the palace well, and no one is allowed to let him out, why did so many people still run away?" ”
"Shisun You is indeed guarding the palace gate to death, the people inside can't get out, and the people outside can't get in, but who would have thought that Zhu Jun would patrol at night, as soon as he heard that there was a scuffle in the palace, he brought troops over, and specially asked people to open the south gate and let these people out, and then he took over the defense of the entire city gate, and no one was allowed to enter the city." Jia Xu hurriedly replied.
"Damn, people are not as good as heaven, what is Zhu Jun doing at this time? If he hadn't appeared, it was estimated that Yuan Shao and the others would have died long ago. Alas, it's all my fault, although Shisun You dares to act, but when he encounters an upright person like Zhu Jun, he will inevitably be three points weaker. It would be nice if I had asked either Zhao Yun or Tai Shici to guard the gate of the palace at that time. ”
Jia Xu said: "The matter has come to this point, and I can only think of another strategy, my subordinates have received a report, Cao Cao has returned to Yanzhou directly with soldiers and horses, and he has not come to join in this excitement at all." In addition, the fine work placed in Lu Bu's army sent back the news, saying that Ma Teng defected before the battle last night, killed Han Sui, Niu Fu, Dong Min, and Li Ru, and surrendered Zhang Ji, Fan Chou, and Yang Feng, and later took Dong Zhuo's head, handed Dong Zhuo's head to Lu Bu, and Lu Bu gave up the chase with Dong Zhuo's head and returned directly. On the way back, I met Gongsun Zhan and Tao Qian, they knew that Dong Zhuo was dead, so they all came back together, most of them were about to arrive in Luoyang at this time, and it seemed that there would be a big battle in a while. ”
Lin Nan had already dressed and began to ask Jia Xu to help him put on his armor and put on his helmet himself, and asked, "What about the little emperor?" Did you come back? ”
"No, it seems to have been hijacked by Ma Teng." Jia Xu replied while helping Lin Nan tie the armor rope strap on his back.
"Marten? It seems that it will replace Dong Zhuo to dominate Guanzhong and Liangzhou, you quickly go and order Zhao Yun, Tai Shici, Huang Zhong, Chen Dao, and Wen Ping, and let them gather 5,000 cavalry to follow me into Luoyang City, you and Gongda and Fengxiao will stay in the camp, and let Lin Yang and Li Tie be responsible for guarding the camp, as long as anyone dares to attack this camp, no matter who it is, they will be shot and killed. Lin Nan stretched out his hand and took the dragon spear, and while walking towards the tent, he instructed Jia Xu.
Jia Xu said "Nuo", and said: "The lord still needs to be careful, it is Zhu Jun who controls the city gate now......"
"Zhu Jun should watch the battle at the south gate, I will enter from the north gate, there should be no problem, as long as I enter Luoyang City and see Shisun Rui, I will immediately retreat from here. If you send someone to inform Liu Yu and tell him what happened here, he will definitely speed up and arrive in Luoshui, and with his character, Liu Yu will definitely dissuade him. ”
Jia Xuyin said with a smile: "My subordinates understand, my subordinates have already sent people this morning, and now Liu Yu should be almost there." ”
"Very good, let the soldiers also prepare for evacuation, after I send someone to inform you, I will evacuate immediately, cross the Yellow River in the north, and go back to Youzhou in Hanoi."
After speaking, Lin Nan went out of the big tent, and then ordered five thousand cavalry, and took Zhao Yun, Huang Zhong, Tai Shici, Chen Dao, and Wen Ping to Luoyang City.
On the tower of the Great Xia Gate, Gai Xun was invited by Zhu Jun to guard the north gate of Luoyang, and when he learned that the heroes were fighting in the palace last night to rob the jade seal, he was worried about Lin Nan. He didn't know if Lin Nan's soldiers and horses were involved in the melee outside the city, and out of concern for his friends, he was in a hurry to turn around alone. If Zhu Jun hadn't given him a death order and forbade anyone to enter or leave Luoyang City, he would have run out on horseback a long time ago. (To be continued......)
