Chapter 317: Dove Tiger Afterglow (5)
In late February of the seventh year of Chuping, the Bingzhou army was defeated on the bank of the Jinshui River with the cooperation of the Guanzhong Army and the Yuan Cao coalition army, and was forced to retreat into Taiyuan City, so far the coalition army completely besieged Taiyuan City. At the same time, in order to boost the morale of the army and express his determination to resist to the end to the people of Taiyuan City, Lu Bu distributed all the food in the city to the soldiers and the people. Then he overwhelmed the rebellious Hun soldiers on the city wall, issued them wooden sticks and shields, asked them to assist in defending the city, and showed that if the Huns could kill three of the enemy's heads, they could restore their own bodies, and when the war was over, they would be released back to their ancestral land!
The Huns were very happy when they heard this, but the generals understood this very well, as soon as this plan came out, the Huns had no way to retreat, even if they regained their freedom, the coalition army would not let go of the people who killed their soldiers, which completely regarded the Huns as slave troops, and did not give them a way to live. Therefore, the 50,000 Bingzhou army was divided into four cities, and according to Chen Gong's strategy, the Xiongnu soldiers were placed in front of the coalition army, in order to kill the enemy to the greatest extent and reduce the number of Xiongnu soldiers in the city.
The next day, the tripartite coalition forces attacked the city at the same time, but compared with the offensive of Yuan Cao's two armies, the Guanzhong army obviously released water. In fact, even the generals within the Guanzhong Army didn't understand what Long Jun was doing, especially Zhao Yun and Xu Huang, who were called by him from Hanzhou and Juyanhai, and they were even more suspicious of Long Jun's passive siege of the city, for fear that because of this battle, the garrison would be delayed, causing the Xianbei army to go south and invade the northwest.
In the face of such a situation, Zhao Yun may not urge Long Jun, but Xu Huang can't bear it, after all, the Juyanhai line is very important, not as broad as the depth of Hanzhou, so Xu Huang asked in a deep voice, "Lord, what is the intention of our army to attack the city so slackly?" As far as I know, Cao Cao's side has a kind of trebuchet called the Thunderbolt, not only the range is farther than ours, but the stones thrown are also heavier than ours, according to the opponent's siege speed, I am afraid that it will not be long before Taiyuan City is the territory of Yuan Cao and others, which has no interest in our army, and even the imperial court that you want to take away, our army cannot interfere! ”
"I know everybody is suspicious of this. I haven't given you an answer for these days, but this matter is really very important, and now that the coalition forces are in the city, then I have nothing to hide! Regarding Xu Huang's worries, Long Jun smiled treacherously, pointed to Xicheng not far away, looked at the generals in the tent, and continued, "The day before yesterday, my Tianwang brothers had already taken His Majesty out of Jinyang Palace, and now the war is in full swing, except for Chen Palace, who is still looking for the Son of Heaven, Lu Bu is not too busy to take care of it. Now that the Son of Heaven has been hidden by Qu A and others near Xicheng, we will take the Son of Heaven out as soon as the coalition forces break through Taiyuan, but before that, for my old opponent, I hope you can help me with one thing! ”
"What did the lord tell me to wait?" Hearing that Long Jun actually had something to ask for help from them, the generals looked at me and I looked at you, and they were at a loss, how few people in the world could afford Long Jun's asking for a word, I am afraid that only those aunts and grandmothers in the Hou Mansion in Zhenbei would let Long Jun say a word. So everyone asked Long Jun what he was asking for, they didn't believe that there was anything in the world that Long Jun couldn't do? However, in this matter, Long Jun really can't do it alone!
Sweeping the expressions on the faces of the generals, Long Jun smiled indifferently, and then slowly walked to the door of the handsome tent, turned his back to everyone, and said inexplicably, "Since Lu Bu is bound to die, I want to fulfill one thing for him before he dies." Whether it is merit or demerit, he has made meritorious contributions to the Han Dynasty, and has meritorious service to the people of the state, if it is only about committing a disorder, I am afraid it will chill the hearts of people with lofty ideals in the world. So I beg you to accompany me in a show with the coalition forces, whether it is a big show or a big one. ”
When the generals heard this, they clasped their fists and saluted and shouted in unison, "It's all up to the lord's orders!" ”
Later, Long Jun made all the arrangements and laid them out, which was not only the agreement between him and Zhang Liao that day, but also the last consolation for Lu Bu, an old enemy, who was convinced that since Lu Bu, there was no one in the world who could compete with him on the battlefield. As for the rivers and lakes, Tong Yuan, Wang Yue and others have a very close relationship with him, and there will be no disputes at all. And that Nanhua family, bent on disturbing the world, is not a legitimate and bright person, for this kind of person, Long Jun will not use righteous and bright means to fight with him at that time, and when he sees it, he will rush up and completely slap him to death.
After explaining what everyone wanted to do, Long Jun was also a lot more relaxed, and then he ordered the entire Guanzhong army to move to the side of Cao Cao's camp. As soon as this behavior was done, Yuan Shao and Liu Bei were immediately dissatisfied, and now that Lu Bu's defeat was imminent, Long Jun actually surrounded three and left Lu Bu with a way out, isn't this equivalent to letting Lu Bu make a comeback? So that night, Yuan Shao and Liu Bei came to Cao Cao's tent and asked Long Jun what he meant by this? In fact, Cao Cao was also dissatisfied with Long Jun's relocation to this camp, but after Long Jun finished explaining to him, Cao Cao was slightly relieved, and for Yuan Shao and others to question Long Jun, Cao Cao could only pretend to be deaf and dumb.
It was originally the second time they met after a farewell in Luoyang, and the four of them should be full of embarrassment, but compared with the grudges of the princes who fought Dong in the past, the grudges between the four seem to be deeper today. In particular, Yuan Shao didn't give Long Jun a chance to explain at all, and his mouth was full of accusing Long Jun of slacking off the war and wanting to let Lu Bu escape in private. It wasn't until Liu Bei interjected that Yuan Shao slowed down his offensive slightly. As before, in the face of the reproach of the two, Long Jun looked disdainful and tilted his head to ridicule the two.
In this way, the hatred in Yuan Shao's heart was even stronger, and Yuan Kui died in Luoyang that year, which was the reason for Long Jun, so Yuan Shao didn't care whose handsome account it was, and shouted outside the door, "Come and take down Long Jun's wingman for me, and order the three armies to surround the soldiers and horses in Guanzhong, and once the other party makes any changes, immediately exterminate them!" ”
"Second brother and third brother, wait for Xu Chu Dian Wei and the two of them, if they dare to go out to ventilate and report the news, they will be killed on the spot!" Compared with Yuan Shao's hatred, Liu Bei's heart was even more angry, after all, he lost not only face, but also his daughter-in-law, dignity, and the support of the Yuzhou family.
For the persecution of the two, Long Jun seemed very leisurely, don't look at the joy of the two, but in his eyes, this is just a behavior of lust and inwardness. So Long Jun found a more comfortable seat and sat down, his legs on the table, constantly shaking, like a small guy returning from the market, the corners of the eyes of the angry two jumped straight, eager to drink their blood and eat their flesh! However, Long Jun seemed to feel that this was not enough, and after taking off the helmet and throwing it on the table, Long Jun dug his nose, squinted at Yan Liang, Wen Chou, Guan Yu, and Zhang Fei, who were also indignant, and sneered, "If you want to kill me here, I advise you to think about whether these four people can take me down!" I don't have any means, anyway, Lu Bu and I have always been tied! If you talk about martial arts, I add Xu Chu and Dian Wei, I'm afraid these four people under you are not enough to slaughter me! ”
"Hehe, don't you look down on General Cao's general? The four heroes of the Cao family are no worse than my two brothers! As he spoke, Liu Bei waved his right hand, and Guan Yu and Zhang Fei stepped forward, aiming their weapons at Long Jun and the others.
Seeing that Long Jun didn't mean to explain at all, Cao Cao shook his head helplessly, stopped Yuan Shao and Liu Bei with a smile and a smile, and then explained in a deep voice under Long Jun's indifferent expression, "After Zi Yu explained this matter to me, please rest assured that our army will not let Lu Bu break through the city." Besides, Lu Bu was already a trapped beast fighter, where could he still escape? Even if he escapes, as long as we welcome back Your Majesty and implore the Son of Heaven to issue a holy decree, it won't be long before all parts of the world will hunt down and kill Lu Bu. ”
"Then you can't let Long Jun be so presumptuous! Changing the strategic deployment without authorization, what did he do with our allies? Stepping stones? I can't say that he just wants me to wait for the army and Lu Bu to consume each other, and then sit back and reap the benefits of the fisherman. Meng De, don't forget, he is familiar with this kind of method! How he manipulated me and others in Luoyang back then, you must not forget it! ”
"Wow, that's all! Didn't you stumble me behind my back, can I take care of you? Again, when did I force you to come? Looks like you all chose to be my enemy, right? At this point, Long Jun put aside Yuan Shao, stared at Liu Bei and sneered, "As for you Liu Xuande, if you hadn't been saved when you saw death in Hedong, I wouldn't have settled accounts with you, right?" But for the sake of the face you gave Mei'er to me, I will let you go in this matter today, if you dare to trouble me, don't blame me for going out of Qingzhou in the future and destroying your Liu Bei's family! ”
"Vertical Zier dare!" It's okay not to mention Ganmei, but when Ganmei is mentioned, Liu Bei's anger suddenly couldn't be suppressed. With a wave of his right hand, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei went straight to Long Jun. Fortunately, at this time, the four heroes of the Cao family had also arrived, and when they saw that Liu Bei dared to use swords and soldiers in his own handsome tent, the four of them shouted angrily, and immediately took out their weapons and fought with Guan Yu and Zhang Fei.
The sound of the six people splitting and slapping was endless, and Cao Cao, who was watching, jumped straight to his feet. Instead, Long Jun smiled slightly, looked at Yuan Shao and his party who had not yet made a move, and asked with a sneer: "Why doesn't General Yuan want to take this opportunity to eradicate me?" It would be a pity if such a good opportunity was given up now! ”
Provocation, naked provocation! If Yuan Shao was Liu Bei and Yuan Shu, I am afraid he would have been unable to bear it for a long time, but in his opinion, Long Jun's behavior today is strange, and if he starts a war with Long Jun, it will definitely implicate Cao Cao, the Guanzhong army plus the Yanzhou army, and the Bingzhou army in the city, he Jizhou army will definitely not be able to resist. So Yuan Shao sneered, and ordered Yan Liang and Wen Chou, "Go and separate them, now is not the time to settle old accounts, after we take Lu Bu, this official will definitely let him understand the difference between the benefit of the tongue and the real strength." ”
"Whoa!" The two of them clasped their fists and gave orders, and then each stepped forward and separated the six people.
Seeing that he couldn't fight today, Long Jun shook his legs, snorted coldly, and then smiled at Cao Cao and said, "Father-in-law, tomorrow our army will rush to the city to drown, I hope you can help me complete this matter!" ”
Hearing this, Cao Cao glanced at Yuan Shao and Liu Bei, who were pale, nodded slowly, and responded, "Okay, no problem!" ”
"Thank you, then I'll go back to the camp first!"
