Chapter 51: Unable to attack for a long time
The Allied forces besieged Yue Yu on all sides, and Dong Zhuo's four people, Li Dao, Guo Yan, Niu Fu and Lu Bu, firmly guarded the city gate.
Seeing that the siege effect was not obvious, the allied forces outside the four gates of Luoyang stopped the siege one after another.
Then, Yuan Shao immediately invited the princes to discuss the method of breaking the city.
After the princes of the fifteenth road gathered in the commander's tent of the alliance, Yuan Shao immediately said to everyone: "Everyone, we have been besieging Luoyang City for more than a month, and the Xiliang army under the command of Dong Thief is still defending Luoyang City as impregnable, and I am afraid that if we continue to attack it, I am afraid that there will be little effect, I don't know if you have a good plan to break the city?" ”
After hearing Yuan Shao's question, everyone was silent, because Dong Thief's troops were too strong.
At this time, Cao Cao took the lead in breaking the embarrassment, and then said: "Alliance leader, I estimate that Dong Thief's strength is basically the same as ours, otherwise Dong Thief's defense would not be so strong, and it would not be a way to attack so strongly!" ”
"Mengde, I also understand this, so do you have any good ideas?"
"Alliance leader, the Xiliang Army is like a monolith under the leadership of Dong Thief, and I can't think of any good way for the time being."
When Yuan Shao heard this, he glanced at Cao Cao helplessly.
At this time, Kong Ling came out and said: "Alliance leader, after a month of siege battles, our soldiers have suffered heavy casualties!" If this continues, sooner or later we will run out of soldiers, and I propose that everyone return to their fiefdoms first and then consider the long term. ”
"Kong Ling, you are disturbing the morale of the army! Now that the allied forces have arrived at the city of Luoyang, and the Son of Heaven is in front of our eyes, are we just watching the Son of Heaven suffer and not come to the rescue? Sun Jian accused indignantly.
Seeing Sun Jian say this, Kong Ling hurriedly replied: "Sun Wentai, don't think that you are afraid of you because you have Yuan Highway's support, I am the real Yuzhou Thorn History." ”
Hearing Kong Ling say this, Sun Jian's face suddenly flushed with anger, because he was seriously talking about the matter of courting Dong, but he didn't expect Kong Ling to actually involve Yuan Shu in the matter of his assassination of Yuzhou.
Seeing that the scene was a little chaotic, Yuan Shao finally spoke: "Okay, okay, Kong Tingshi, General Sun, we are discussing the matter of discussing Dong, and your private affairs will be dealt with later." ”
When Sun Jian and Kong Ling heard this, they immediately snorted and sat down.
Seeing this, Wang Kai thought to himself: 'I'll go, isn't it, is there already a rift between the allies?' If this is the case, this Luoyang City is really not a place to stay for a long time, once Dong Zhuo senses that there is a gap in the allies, his Xiliang Iron Cavalry will definitely go out of the city to raid. ’
Although he sighed in his heart, Wang Kai did not speak, because he knew that his identity could not enter the eyes of these famous families.
But the more Wang Kai didn't want to speak, the more he attracted Cao Cao's attention, because Cao Cao had a relationship with Wang Kai when he was crusading against the Yellow Turban, and Huangfu Song at that time respected Wang Kai very much.
Seeing that Wang Kai had been silent, Cao Cao finally couldn't help but say to Wang Kai: "Wang Anxi, I see that you rarely express your opinions, can you tell me what you think, after all, you are also a disciple of General Huangfu." ”
Cao Cao's words fell, and the princes looked at Wang Kai one after another.
Wang Kai scolded Cao Cao in his heart at this time, because he didn't want to attract attention at all, after all, he also wanted to take advantage of the dissolution of the alliance to develop his own power.
Although he didn't want to express his opinion, Cao Cao had already put him in the eyes of everyone, and as a last resort, Wang Kai had no choice but to speak: "Ladies and gentlemen, since General Cao has ordered me, then I have no choice but to make a fool of myself." ”
Wang Anxi laughed. Cao Cao interjected with a smile.
When Wang Kai heard this, although he was very unhappy, he still had a smile on his face.
Immediately after, Wang Kai said: "My lords, Dong Thief has a strong army, and a strong attack is indeed the next strategy, I think that if you want to break Luoyang City, only the combination of inside and outside can work." ”
"Inside and outside? I'm afraid General Wang is joking, the city is full of Xiliang troops, even if we contact the ministers of the DPRK and China, they will not be able to have a single soldier to assist us. Yuan Yi replied with disdain.
Choked by Yuan Yi, Wang Kai immediately sat down, because he was originally talking casually.
The speaker has no intention, but the listener has a heart.
After Cao Cao heard Wang Kai's words, he suddenly remembered that Zhang Rang and others had walked through a secret passage when they had kidnapped Liu Wei and Liu Xie to escape from the Luoyang Imperial Palace.
Thinking of this, Cao Cao suddenly shouted.
Suddenly hearing Cao Cao's shout, the princes looked at Cao Cao one after another.
Cao Cao then said to Yuan Shaojin: "Alliance leader, I remember, back then, Zhang Rang and other ten permanent servants had held the current Shengshang and King Hongnong hostage to escape from the palace, and their escape route was a secret passage, as long as we can find this secret passage, we can send troops to the city in a steady stream, so that we can attack Luoyang City together." ”
"I also remembered that the Dong thief met the current saint and King Hongnong on the Beibi Mountain outside the city, and we only need to find the exit in the Beibi Mountain, and we can enter Luoyang City through the secret passage." Yuan Shao answered.
When the princes heard this, they all rejoiced, because as long as they could attack the city, their previous losses would soon be compensated, after all, the merit of rescuing the Son of Heaven was very great.
Yuan Shao saw that the interest of the princes was raised again, and he immediately said: "Everyone, we already know that there is a secret passage leading to the Luoyang Palace on Beibi Mountain, and the next step is to find the entrance to the secret passage, I don't know who is willing to lead his troops to Beibi Mountain to find it?" ”
When the princes heard this, they rushed up one after another, because none of them wanted to let them save the car.
When Wang Kai saw this, he was still silent.
When Cao Cao saw this, he immediately said loudly: "Ladies and gentlemen, don't rob it, I think this errand to find the entrance should be left to Wang Anxi, after all, Dong Thief met the current Shengshang and King Hongnong on the mountain on the west side of Luoyang, and if it weren't for Wang Anxi's words to wake up the dreamer, I'm afraid that we can only do nothing about Luoyang City." ”
Seeing Cao Cao's recommendation of Wang Kai, Sun Jian followed at this time and said: "I also agree with Wang Anxi to find it, many of Wang Anxi's subordinates are the elite of the Northern Army, and they will definitely be able to find the secret passage to Luoyang soon." ”
At this time, Liu Dai, Han Fu and other princes loyal to the Han family also agreed.
The remaining selfish princes saw that most of them were in favor of Wang Kai going to him, so they had to hide their ambitions and agreed together.
Wang Kai was immediately stunned when he saw this situation, because he really didn't want to do this errand at all, after all, it was good to say that if he found it, if he couldn't find it, he wouldn't be scolded by the princes.
Immediately after, Wang Kai hurriedly excused himself and said: "Ladies and gentlemen, I really can't do this errand well, why don't you choose someone else!" ”
After Cao Cao heard this, he hurriedly said: "Wang Anxi, don't shirk it, if you hadn't woken me up, we would still be at a loss now, and this errand belongs to you." ”
After the rest of the princes heard this, some of them looked at them with approval, while some of them were eager to eat Wang Kai, after all, the merit of saving the driver was unattainable.
After Wang Kai looked around, he finally reluctantly agreed.
Seeing that Wang Kai finally agreed, Yuan Shaodang asked Wang Kai to go back and act.
