Chapter 277: Soldiers are coming to Chang'an
Jun Sima knew that Li Dao's vigilance was high at the moment, and unless Wang Chang left with him alone, as long as he mobilized his troops, he would definitely be discovered by Li Dao's ears and eyes. Therefore, after thinking for a while, he said to Wang Chang: "General Wang, there are two suggestions below: first, the general should leave alone and follow him, so that he can avoid Li Dao's eyes and ears; The second is to stay in the camp to do internal response, and when General Guo's soldiers and horses arrive, they will be caught off guard by Li Dao. ”
For these two proposals of Jun Sima, Wang Chang hesitated for a long time. The first plan, although it is very safe, but if he goes to Guo Yan alone, I am afraid it will be difficult to be reused in the future; And staying to do internal response, although it is more risky, can take away more people. As long as he has soldiers and horses in his hands, he will definitely be the target of Guo Yan's key wooing. Thinking of this, he said to Jun Sima: "Please go back and report to the general, saying that a certain person is willing to continue to stay in Li Wei's army as an internal response." Three days later, seeing that the fire in the camp was good, General Guo led the troops to attack the village, and I would order someone to open the gate of the village and welcome the general's soldiers and horses into the village. ”
Seeing that Wang Chang had promised to return to Guo Yan, Jun Sima also felt a lot more relieved in his heart, so he bid farewell to Wang Chang and returned to Guo Yan's camp. When Guo Yan heard that Wang Chang was willing to submit, he was overjoyed, and he said with a face: "Wang Chang is a fierce general under Li Dao, if he is willing to submit, this general is like a tiger with wings, and it is easy to destroy Li Dao." ”
Just when the two armies of Li and Guo Yan were inseparable, Xu Shu received a letter sent by Han Zhan, and after reading the letter repeatedly, he couldn't help but feel worried. Some things are easier said than done, and it is a worrying thing to send someone to go to Guo Yan's army to walk the rumors.
Just when he was worried, his entourage brought a man in and said to him, "Mr. Xu, there is a family member of the captain who wants to see him." ”
A man dressed as a servant who came in with his entourage stepped forward to salute Xu Shu and said, "Mr. Xu, my family captain invites you to come to the mansion for a banquet tonight." ”
When Xu Shu heard the servant say this, he immediately understood in his heart that it must be Yang Biao and Zhu Jun who had something important to discuss with him, otherwise he would definitely not invite him to the Taiwei Mansion for a banquet. You must know that after a series of chaos in Beijing, even civil and military officials may not be able to eat a full stomach, let alone invite someone to their home for a banquet.
Therefore, Xu Shu said to the visitor very simply: "Please go back and report to the captain, saying that Xu will be here later." ”
Xu Shu came to the Taiwei Mansion, and sure enough, he saw that Yang Biao and Zhu Jun were both here, and hurriedly stepped forward to salute the two. After Yang Biao returned the salute, he beckoned Xu Shu to come to the living room and sit down.
After the three of them sat down, Yang Biao opened his mouth and asked: "Yuan Zhi, I don't know when the soldiers and horses of Jizhou Mu will be able to go to Beijing?" ”
Hearing Yang Biao's question, Xu Shu hurriedly stood up and replied: "Back to Taiwei's words, yesterday Xu received a letter from the lord, they have taken Hangu Pass, beheaded Li Ying, the brother of Li Dao, and after a short rest, they will wave their troops to the west and fight with Li Dao and Guo Yan. ”
Because Li Wei was worried that Li Ying's death would affect the morale of the army, he concealed the matter. Not to mention that the civil and military officials in the city don't know, even the soldiers and generals around him don't know about it. At this moment, Yang Biao and Zhu Jun heard that the Jizhou army had killed Li Ying, and they couldn't help but show surprised expressions on their faces. After the two glanced at each other, Yang Biao continued to ask: "Yuan Zhi, the old man asked you, how many days does it take for Jizhou Mu's army to reach Jingshi?" ”
After thinking about it in his heart for a while, Xu Shu stretched out three fingers and said, "If there is no accident, you can reach the outside of Jingshi City within three days." ”
"It's great." I heard that Han Zhan's army would arrive in Beijing in three days, whether it was Yang Biao or Zhu Jun, everyone was smiling.
"Two adults." Xu Shu paused for a moment and continued: "The army came from afar, and I am afraid that it did not carry much siege equipment, so it also needed the assistance of two people to open the city gate when the army arrived. ”
Hearing Xu Shu say about opening the city gate, the expressions on the faces of Yang Biao and the others became gloomy. After a while, Zhu Jun said embarrassedly: "Don't hide it from Yuanzhi, if Yang Feng's soldiers and horses are still in the Jingshi City and open the city gate for Jizhou Mu, there will be no problem at all." But now that Yang Feng is far away, the city is guarded by Cui Yong, a fierce general under Li Dao, and it may not be so easy to open the city gate. ”
Seeing that the two of them were worried about opening the city gate, Xu Shu's mind quickly thought about it. He felt that he needed to report this matter to Han Zhan immediately, lest his lord arrive with tens of thousands of soldiers and horses, because there was no internal response in the city, and he would not be able to enter the city. If it drags on for too long, Li Guo and the others suddenly quit their troops and make peace, and the situation is greatly unfavorable to the Jizhou generals.
Thinking of this, Xu Shu hurriedly stood up and said to the two: "Since the two adults feel that it is not easy to open the city gate. Then Xu needs to report this matter to the lord immediately, so that he can make arrangements as soon as possible. Leave! With that, he turned and walked away.
As soon as he walked to the door, Xu Shu suddenly remembered the purpose of his visit, so he stopped and said to the two: "Two adults, in fact, Xu is here today, and there is one more thing to ask for." ”
Yang Biao heard that Xu Shu had something to ask for, so he said politely: "Yuanzhi has something, but it doesn't hurt to say it." ”
Xu Shu told the two of them in detail what Han Zhan said in his letter that he had sent people to infiltrate Guo Yan's army to spread rumors and disintegrate the morale and morale of Guo Yan's army. Finally, he asked, "I wonder who the two adults can choose?" ”
After Yang Biao and Zhu Jun glanced at each other, they replied: "Yuan Zhi, the old man has a suitable candidate, I don't know if you are willing to use it?" ”
Hearing that Yang Biao had a suitable candidate to recommend, Xu Shu couldn't help but be secretly happy in his heart, and hurriedly asked, "Taiwei Yang, I don't know who you are talking about?" ”
"Huangfu Li." Yang Biao said: "This person is the nephew of Huangfu Song, known for his loyalty, if he is allowed to sneak into Guo Yan's army to walk the rumors, he must be able to get twice the result with half the effort." ”
Xu Shu heard that it was Huangfu Li, and his heart was also a lot more steady, he remembered that this person had gone to mediate between Li and Guo some time ago, although he was unsuccessful, but for the situation of both sides, he wanted others to understand better, and he was responsible for spreading rumors, which must have had an excellent effect. He hurriedly bowed to Yang Biao and said, "Since there is a suitable candidate for Taiwei Yang, then everything will be left to Taiwei." ”
Xu Shu returned to the post station, immediately repaired a book, and then sent a clever retinue to Han Zhan's army in the starry night.
Han Zhan received Xu Shu's letter the next day, and couldn't help frowning when he learned that Chang'an City had been controlled by Cui Yong, a fierce general under Li Dao. He found that everything that is happening now and the history he knows has deviated a lot, and when he thinks of this, he can't help but frown.
Guo Jia saw Han Zhan's preoccupied look, so he asked with concern: "Lord, are you worried that after our army arrives at Chang'an City, no one will open the city gate for us, so that our army will not be able to enter the city?" ”
In response to Guo Jia's question, Han Zhan nodded and said affirmatively: "That's right, Ben Hou is worried about this matter. Our army came from a long distance and did not have siege equipment, if there was no inner city gate to open the city gate and welcome our army into the city, it would not be an easy thing to obtain Chang'an. ”
Jun Sima knew that Li Dao's vigilance was high at the moment, and unless Wang Chang left with him alone, as long as he mobilized his troops, he would definitely be discovered by Li Dao's ears and eyes. Therefore, after thinking for a while, he said to Wang Chang: "General Wang, there are two suggestions below: first, the general should leave alone and follow him, so that he can avoid Li Dao's eyes and ears; The second is to stay in the camp to do internal response, and when General Guo's soldiers and horses arrive, they will be caught off guard by Li Dao. ”
