Chapter 160: Wen Ji's Blood and Tears

It is not appropriate for me to be unscrupulous, and I should sue anyone if I am insulted. ----------Eastern han dynasty. Cai Wenji "Eighteen Beats of Hu Ji"

It is said that Cai Yongsi thought about Dong Zhuo's old feelings, and in front of everyone's eyes, he knelt in front of Dong Zhuo's corpse and grieved again and again, crying silently. At that time, Shi Sun Rui happened to pick up Wang Yun's arrival, Wang Yun hated Dong Zhuo to the core, and when he saw Cai Yong's situation, he was very angry, and he wanted to lock Cai Yong and Dong Zhuo's bodies together.

Fortunately, Yan Baihu, who was pretending to be Chen Long, was by his side, and he reached out to stop Wang Yun, who was not good-looking. Although Wang Yun was furious, he didn't dare to do it in front of Chen Long, Chen Long finally led Cai Yong to leave safely, and before leaving, he also invited Cui Lie to Lingling as a guest, so as to pave the way for receiving Cui Zhouping in the future.

The situation in Luoyang at this time can be described as external and internal troubles. Although Dong Zhuo was defeated, it was only the 10,000 troops of Niu Fu and Li Su that collapsed, and its main combat force was still alive, but it was only fished to the periphery by Chen Long's successful battle plan.

Now, Li Ru does not know where to go, Zhang Liao led 10,000 troops, camped in the western suburbs of the outer city, Li Dao, Guo Yan, Fan Chou, Zhang Ji, Jia Xu's main force of 40,000 people stuck to Tongguan, and could return to Luoyang at any time to join Zhang Liao and Li Ru. Lu Bu and Xu Rong had 30,000 heavy troops to defend the Tiger Pass, although they fought with the Dong coalition army in a series of battles, but they won more and lost less, and the strength was not damaged at all, plus Li Meng's 10,000 people were unfavorable to attack Luoyang, and they were also stationed in the dangerous place between Luoyang and the Tiger Pass, the total strength around Luoyang reached a terrible 90,000 people, and the generals were all famous generals in the world, if these famous generals woke up from the chaos of Dong Zhuo's sudden violent death, they contacted each other, united as one, and while defending the Tiger Prison and Tongguan, they made every effort to attack Luoyang, and the balance of victory and defeat, It's hard to say where it will fall. And the mastermind Jia Xu is next to Li Wei, how can his head be watched?

The current strength in Luoyang City is 5,000 soldiers of Shisun Rui, 30,000 soldiers of Yuan Shu and Zhu Ling, plus 10,000 soldiers of "Yan Baihu", plus casualties after a major battle, it can be more than 40,000 people. Although the supply of materials in the city is sufficient, so that it will not fall immediately, and there are many troops on the periphery that can carry out encirclement and suppression, the situation in the city is very delicate.

First of all, the power vacuum brought about by the disappearance of Emperor Han Xian and the death of Dong Zhuo made himself, Yuan Shu and Wang Yun the natural substitutes, who should have accepted the canonization of Emperor Han Xian and became the new minister.

The disappearance of Emperor Han Xian made the situation very delicate. If you talk about the imperial power of the Han family, the one in Chang'an is also the authentic Liu bloodline, should you listen to the canonization of Emperor Shao of the Han Dynasty?

And the surrounding warlords will also bring new variables because of Dong Zhuo's death. First of all, if Wang Yun becomes the head of the hundred officials, he can only get the support of old Han ministers like Shisun Rui and Huangfu Song, and Yuan Shu will never tolerate him. What's more, Chen Long had already given Yuan Shu a dose of fierce medicine and gave the jade seal to Yuan Shu for safekeeping. If Yuan Shu holds Kyoto, I am afraid that he will already be the heart of the emperor. Who of the surrounding warlords will obey him? Perhaps, they will join forces with Lu Bu, Li Dao and other armies to besiege Luoyang and expel Yuan Shu.

After Dong Zhuo's death, the situation in Luoyang was complicated and delicate, and Chen Long's more than 10,000 soldiers and horses, even if Chang'an's troops were also transferred, they were powerless to influence the development of the situation. Chen Long had already prepared to escape, and now he saved Cai Yong, Chen Long took all Cai Yong's family members on the grounds of searching for the missing emperor in Beicheng, and the whole army went out of Beicheng, went straight to Xiaopingjin, and met Zhao Da who was secretly waiting in Xiaopingjin.

Zhao Da had already received the order of General Chen Long and arranged several barges near Xiaopingjin for Shamoke's troops to cross the river. Chen Long asked about the situation when Zhao Da sent people to the Xiongnu to look for Cai Yan, Zhao Da shook his head and said: "Then the Xiongnu Zuoxian King just got Cai Yan, not only did he not return it, but he also injured the people I sent, and the gold, silver and jade were all robbed. ”

Chen Long was furious in his heart, and Zhao Da said again: "Yesterday, my subordinates received news from Zhou Budo's military advisor. After the battle in the eastern suburbs of Chang'an, the Xiliang military horses retreated into Tongguan to defend it, and Xu Shu's military division took more military horses, stayed in Chang'an, and controlled Xijing. The rest of the troops, about 30,000 people, led by Zilong, went deep into the state and transferred to Tongguan, and now they have reached the Maojin ferry and temporarily controlled the Yellow River Caoyun. ”

Chen Long was overjoyed and said, "Zilong's troops can be called god speed. What about the messenger sent by the Zhou military division? ”

Zhao Da hurriedly said: "I'm afraid that the lord has a message to convey and brought him here, so I'll bring him in." Also, the people I sent to the Huns also brought them. ”

Chen Long secretly praised Zhao Da for being cautious and meticulous, suitable for meticulous work. He was about to take a cavalry and go to the Huns to capture Cai Yan. Waiting for Zhou Budo's messenger to come up, Chen Long had already made a plan, and directly ordered: "You go back and pass on my general order, and order Zhao Yun, Fu Tong, and Zhou Budo to sort out 10,000 horse troops, equip them with strong crossbows, and attack directly to the north, and be sure to arrive at Mayi County, Yanmen County, on the border of the Xiongnu at the end of September before the cool weather to join me." The rest of the generals' troops, led by Guo Jia, all returned to Chang'an to guard and settle Cai Yong and his family. No matter what happens in Luoyang, you must not go to war easily. ”

"Also, let Huang Gai find Empress Dowager He, and immediately issue an edict in the name of Emperor Shao of the Han Dynasty, giving all local warlords including Wang Yun and Yuan Shu official titles and fiefdoms, as for how to divide the feuds, please consult Guo Jia in this regard."

Saying that, he called Shamoke and said: "Shasha, you lead the soldiers and horses, follow the messenger, join the army and horses of Guo Jia's army, and return to Chang'an together, waiting for me to return." ”

Seeing that Chen Long didn't plan to use himself, Shamoke said with an itch: "Lord, Lu Chang robbed the little emperor to return to Chang'an, how can you do it without someone by your side?" If only the troops let them go to the rendezvous by boat, I will follow anyway. ”

Chen Long thought about it, it is true that the special forces are not there, and he still needs a helper for many things, and it is good to bring Shamoke. He immediately said: "Okay, then you go and arrange it, and pick a few people with good martial arts to follow." ”

Shamoko was overjoyed and was busy arranging. Chen Long left a guard of fifty people, led by Shamoke, Zhao Da went to the Xiongnu and acted as a guide, with two war horses, and a lot of food and water, and said goodbye to Zhao Da that night, crossed the Yellow River and headed north. Shamoke's subordinates took a boat by themselves to follow Zhou Budo's messenger to the Maojin ferry without mentioning.

In order to save Cai Wenji from fire and water, Chen Long did not hesitate to go to the wild place outside the Saiwai alone; It's a pity that although Wen Ji is now the princess of Zuoxian, she can't get used to eating beef, mutton and horse meat, and can't drink cow, sheep and horse milk, and she is extremely depressed, how dare she expect someone to come to her rescue? No one often howls day and night, misses his parents, and hates Cao Cao in his heart. The poems and poems he made became more and more miserable and suffering, and Hu Ji gradually wrote the first beat in eighteen beats.

In addition to saving Cai Yan, Chen Long's second purpose is, of course, to leave Luoyang, the land of right and wrong, and let these warlord forces fight to the death here with Yuan Shu and Wang Yun, as long as he guards Chang'an and is optimistic about Emperor Shaodi of the Han Dynasty. Obviously, after the Luoyang dispute is over, once the dust settles and Emperor Han Xian still has no whereabouts, those royalists have to turn their heads to support Emperor Shaodi of Han and Empress He, and they will inevitably form a new center in Chang'an. If he defends in Luoyang, not only will he not get any benefits, but he is also likely to fall into the siege of the warlords.

In short, it is his wish to rescue Cai Yan, and it is his strategy to watch Luoyang coldly. Now, all the Bingzhou troops are around Luoyang, the entire Bingzhou is empty, and the Huns are crossing the border and looting is raging. The people gradually became self-governing, and the leaders were Chu Yan and Zhang Niujiao, old acquaintances who Zhengding had seen at the beginning, known as the Montenegrin Army. Now that Zhao Yun's cavalry has reached the annexation state, and Zhou Budo assists him, it is time for the Huns to pay the price. Chen Long never worried about the supplies along the road, because he was 100% confident in persuading the Montenegrin army to cooperate.

This time, the soldiers are very fast, and they must rescue Cai Yan before winter comes, and return to Chang'an for the winter. In half a year, it will not be enough for Cai Yan to give birth to two gourd babies for King Zuoxian. Riding on the horse, Yao remembered that Cai Yongfu saw Wen Ji for the first time that day, Chen Long secretly clenched his fists, surging with strong confidence, Wen Ji, I, Chen Long, did not break my promise, galloped thousands of miles to help, I came to save you! Let me end your sufferings for you!
