Chapter 235: Lack of Vertical Sons and Schemes
Because the Long family army arrived in time, under the hard work of Long Jun and others, the fire was finally extinguished, and the burning place was limited to the Yulin Army camp outside the North Palace, and the more than 1,000 Xiliang troops who made a rebellion were also strangled by Tai Shici and others, and all the corpses were thrown into the fire.
And Long Jun, who rushed to the palace, kept thinking about the location of the jade seal in his mind, but after several searches, there was no trace, and the dry well in the palace was turned upside down, and in desperation, Long Jun could only order someone to transfer Dong Xi, who was far away in Gucheng, to continue the search, and he led five thousand dragon and tiger guards to chase north.
On the way, Long Jun finally understood in his mind why the jade seal of the country was not in the palace, in fact, when the ten permanent servants were in turmoil, the jade seal of the country was not left behind at all, so the current jade seal is still in the hands of Liu Xie. Thinking about this reason, Long Jun secretly scolded himself for coming to Luoyang in one more move at that time, otherwise it is very likely that he will intercept Dong Zhuo now and pocket the treasure he looted.
In Yanshi City, Lu Bu, who had already received the news of Dong Zhuo's evacuation, decided to leave the 20,000 northern army that had just been reorganized to block the other party after consulting with Hua Xiong, and they took the opportunity to evacuate to Bishan and cross the river to join Dong Zhuo and others in Wenxian County. And Xu Rong, who received the general's order, pondered for a while, and then took the order to block the coalition army.
After seeing Lu Bu and the others disappear from his eyes, Xu Rong looked at the old brothers who had never left him all these years, and sneered, "Last year, Lord Hou and General Zhao left Luoyang, and many people asked me why I didn't follow, but I didn't answer!" Later, Hou Ye raised troops against Dong Taishi, and you asked me why I didn't take this opportunity to join Hou Ye, but I didn't answer! Immediately after that, it was rumored in the army that I, Xu Rong, were greedy for Master Dong's reward, and I laughed it off, and I didn't want to explain too much! But today I want to say that no matter whether my next decision is in line with your wishes, we must work together to solve the dilemma in front of us, otherwise we will have no shame to see Beihou! ”
"Whoa!"
At the end of March of the first year of the first peace, Sun Jian, the vanguard general of the Kwantung coalition army, was defeated in the elm forest in front of Luoyang City behind Yanshi City, and the reputation of Xu Rong, the commander of the Northern Army, was prominent, and then the Northern Army, which defeated the vanguard of the coalition army, suddenly disappeared in the field of vision of the coalition army, which made the coalition army deeply puzzled, so that the coalition army that should have advanced to Luoyang City had to be delayed for three days.
At the same time, Long Jun, who had already crossed the river to catch up with the tail of the Xiliang army, began to attack the other party unscrupulously, causing the Xiliang army to march slowly, and the general Guo Yan even threatened to garrison the army to exterminate the Long family's army. But even so, it didn't dispel Long Jun's plan, and the sneak attacks continued. Seeing that there were more and more Xiliang troops detaining the people, Long Jun felt that the time was ripe, so the five thousand dragon and tiger guards accelerated their march, caught up with Dong Zhuo's team escorting civilian supplies, and then ransacked them.
"Can anyone tell me what exactly Ryujun wants to do?" Dong Zhuo, who was originally defeated and frustrated, has been completely ignited by Long Jun at this moment, and it is just a sneak attack on the escort team, and the finances that were finally looted actually made a wedding dress for the other party, how can Dong Zhuo tolerate it? Then he ordered Guo Yan to command 20,000 troops to encircle and suppress the Longjia army until they safely entered the Taihang Mountains!
Among the people who were carried, there was a carriage slowly moving north at this time, and with the guards of the Xiliang Army around them, it could be seen how important the people in the carriage were.
"It is rumored that the Marquis of Zhenbei used soldiers to make it difficult to catch traces, I thought it was the world's boasting, and there were many doubts, until today I found out that I was lonely and unheard, so everyone used soldiers in this way, which is enough to compare with Han Hou in the early Han Dynasty."
Facing the old man's high praise for that guy, the girl in the carriage rolled her eyes violently, and her impatience was overflowing, but when she thought of the man's praise for her senior brother, she was a little curious in her heart, is there really a person in the world who is all-round in civil and military affairs?
"Girl, I know that you have some complaints about Long Jun because of Zhongdao's divorce, but this is also Zhongdao's own choice, although your reputation has been affected by the divorce, but at least you can also find a lover, right? So you have to thank people for helping you get out of the sea of suffering! In fact, the old man is also quite resistant to his daughter marrying Wei Zhongdao, who made Wei Zhongdao a famous sick seedling?
"I thank him! Who doesn't know now that I, Cai Yan, was divorced? Anyway, I am a lady who is proficient in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, just because of his few words, let alone proposing marriage now, I'm afraid that no one in the concubine room wants me! As he spoke, Cai Yan put the Jiaowei Qin in his hand aside, with a gloomy expression.
Cai Yong smiled helplessly when he saw this, he didn't know how to defend Long Jun at all, in fact, there were also rumors in Anyi at that time that Long Jun also had thoughts about Cai Yan, so he secretly forced Wei Zhongdao to withdraw from the marriage. But does Cai Yong dare to say this kind of thing? A good lady has been thinking about practicing martial arts because of this, and she can't make her daughter angry anymore after she finishes speaking?
The Long family army did not appear for two days in a row, and Guo Yan, who was about to catch the turtle in the urn, saw this, so he could only force the escort team to speed up the footsteps, so as not to let Long Jun catch the gap. At this time, the Long family army, who was being remembered by Guo Yan, was actually not idle, he was counting the loot captured by his side, looking at the dazzling array of gold, silver and jewelry, Long Jun's face was not good.
"Xu Rong, how long will it take for them to arrive?"
"Back to the lord, General Xu has crossed the river, and now he should be in Xiangcheng for a generation, according to the estimation of his subordinates, he will be able to join us almost tomorrow."
"Let people go and supervise, Lu Bu has already rushed to this place through Wen County, if Lu Bu preempts it, we can only let the people of Luoyang leave, and by then Dong Zhuo, who is starving everywhere, will have the population to compete with us for Hedong!"
"Oh, I'll send someone over to supervise!"
At this time, after several searches, it was finally determined that the Kwantung coalition army withdrawn by Xu Rongjun had rushed to Luoyang City. Looking at the uninhabited Luoyang City, Cao Cao looked lonely. Sun Jian, who was also shocked by the scene in front of him, scolded hatefully, "The hundred-year-old national capital has been ruined by Dong Thief, and it will be incompatible with it!" ”
When everyone entered the city and saw the fire that had been extinguished, Yuan Shao frowned and asked, "Have you found out who put out the fire?" ”
The scout captain who was asked, when he heard this, replied with a strange face, "I have asked, according to the people left in the city, it is an army with the banner of the Han Dynasty, and the leader seems to be Hou Longjun of Zhenbei!" ”
"What?" At this time, not only Yuan Shao, but also Liu Bei, Cao Cao and others were all question marks, and Long Jun appeared in Luoyang? So what's going on over there? Could it be that there are other hidden secrets?
Looking around, seeing that everyone's expressions were similar to his own, Cao Cao hurriedly said, "Since the Marquis of Zhenbei has rushed to Luoyang, presumably he has already chased after him, let's quickly cross the river with our troops and chase and kill Dong Zhuo!" ”
"This" Hearing that Cao Cao was going to hunt down Dong Zhuo and go to join Long Jun, Yuan Shao's face immediately sank, and Liu Bei's face on the side was not very good, as far as he was concerned, he would rather let Yuan Shao continue to lead them than give Long Jun a hand, and no one present knew Long Jun's reputation among the soldiers.
"What? Were there any other thoughts in the beginning? To be honest, Cao Cao didn't know the relationship between Yuan Shao and the others and Long Jun, but this is related to the future of thousands of people in Luoyang and the Han Dynasty. Therefore, Cao Cao can only put this relationship out of his mind, hoping that Yuan Shao and others will focus on the overall situation.
Being asked by Cao Cao, Yuan Shao's originally gloomy face instantly stretched out, and then patted Cao Cao's shoulder, and said with a smile, "I don't dare to say it, it's just that we have been marching for several days, and many soldiers and soldiers are tightening a string, and now that Luoyang has finally been captured, the soldiers should also rest for a while, and now continue to send troops, and cross the river, I am afraid that the morale of the army will be sluggish, how will we face Dong Zhuo's Xiliang Army at that time?" ”
"Fart, Yuan Benchu, what kind of military morale is sluggish? Do you want to take this opportunity to let Ziyu face the Xiliang Army alone? A concubine is a concubine, even if he is treacherous, he is so narrow-minded. No wonder Yuan Shihui was driven out of Luoyang. ”
"Yuan Highway can eat more, don't talk nonsense, don't believe it, ask Liu Xuande and the others, see if they are willing to continue the march? Ben will remember your contribution to the supply of grain and grass for the coalition forces, and I don't want to argue with you about it! ”
Yuan Shao retreated, Yuan Shu didn't want to let the other party go like this, in terms of the public, now is the time to reward meritorious deeds, and in terms of privacy, he and Yuan Shao are regarded as the same as fire and water, no matter which aspect, he can't make Yuan Shao feel better, so he snorted coldly, "I ask them?" Liu Xuande and Ziyu in Luoyang are known to everyone, and the rest of the generals are not alliance leaders, you are a coalition leader who doesn't speak, they dare to act privately? As for my private army, I'm afraid you'll charge me with disturbing the morale of the army, right? ”
Seeing that Yuan Shu was about to start a fight with Yuan Shao again, Cao Cao had a big head for a while, so he hurriedly stood on Yuan Shao's side, and said in a deep voice, "Okay, don't quarrel, since we originally planned to rest for a day, then let's rest for a day, I believe that with Long Ziyu's means, the Xiliang army will not move too fast." And it will take time to build a pontoon bridge to cross the river, so I will take someone to Pingyin first to wait for you. ”
After speaking, Cao Cao shook his head bitterly and walked towards his own camp, just when Yuan Shu and Yuan Shao were arguing, he had already seen everyone's reactions, if it wasn't for the fear that the coalition would split, how could Cao Cao tolerate such selfish behavior of these people?
What Cao Cao didn't expect was that when he arrived in Pingyin overnight, he happened to find the pontoon bridge left by Xu Rong here, and he was shocked in his heart, and he was afraid that Long Jun, who had crossed the river, would be caught up by Xu Rong, so he hurried back to Luoyang and discussed with Yuan Shao about sending troops to pursue Xu Rongjun.
"The pontoon is still there? Then I'm afraid that Xu Rong has already crossed the river, and the Long family's army is more auspicious! ”
"So at the beginning, we should hurry up and send troops, otherwise the Long family army will be destroyed, not to mention Dong Zhuo's Xiliang army, I'm afraid that Xu Rong's northern army will also escape into Taihang Mountain, and the great cause of Dong Daye will be empty."
"But Mengde, I have already passed the order to go down, the three armies will be repaired for a day, and at this time, the order will be changed at night, I am afraid that there will be a lot of complaints in the army!"
"Can you lend me the headquarters, then? I'll take the troops with me! ”
"Meng De, it's not that I don't want to borrow you, but since Yuan Highway came here, there have been problems with grain and grass again and again, and I have already sent a team to supervise grain and grass!"
Listening to Yuan Shao's many excuses and excuses, Cao Cao felt cold for a while, so he hugged his fists and said goodbye, and went to find other feudal town lords to help, but after a circle, let alone sending troops to help, some people couldn't even see it.
Standing at the gate of the coalition camp, Cao Cao pointed to the handsome tent in the camp, and scolded with hatred 'Lack of erection and conspiracy'! Then he led his personal guards back to Pingyin.
