Chapter 315: Dove Tiger Afterglow (3)
As the saying goes, blessing and misfortune are not alone, the Son of Heaven issued an order to reprimand Long Jun and others, and the momentum of the coalition army suddenly declined, after all, the Son of Heaven represents the gift of heaven in this era, even if it is a puppet, its will can affect the low-level soldiers. But compared with the Yuan Cao coalition army, the Guanzhong army does not seem to have been affected, for the soldiers of the Guanzhong army, I am afraid that their lord is far more real than the Son of Heaven, and even to a certain extent, they prefer that their lord is the Son of Heaven.
The words are divided into two ends, because the Bingzhou army has won a complete victory this time, the army is even more confident in defeating the coalition army, but Chen Gong and Zhang Liao do not have any hope for this, the loss of 30,000 horses and horses is not at all painful for Jizhou, which has a large number of soldiers, and the pursuit of the Guanzhong army, and the state army has not made any achievements, this kind of vain victory, for the Bingzhou army that has been under pressure is a fatal blow. Because they will despise each other for this, and eventually lead to failure.
It can be said that Chen Gong's concern about this is exactly the weakness of the Bingzhou army, especially under the nuisance of the Xiongnu army, and the Bingzhou army seems to have decided that it can easily defeat the coalition army with their men. So the generals asked Lu Bu to fight, demanding a life-and-death duel with the coalition forces. Seeing this scene, Lu Bu couldn't help but be disturbed by the emotions of everyone asking for battle, and he also thought that the coalition army was nothing more than a dog's ear, if it weren't for Zhang Liao and Chen Gong's hard persuasion, I'm afraid this Lu Bu would have already gone to find Long Jun desperately!
"What should I do, there are more and more irrational people in the army now, and Wen Hou's side is also affected by it, if you hadn't mentioned the conflict with Yanzhou last year, I'm afraid Wen Hou would not have been able to calm down. Besides, the Guanzhong army is watching from the wall, using our army as bait, so that we and Yuan Cao will both lose and lose, what do you think we should do? ”
Hearing this, Chen Gong sighed softly, picked up the arrival report seized from Taiyuan City a few days ago and put it in front of Zhang Liao, and said bitterly, "Wen Yuan, you take a look at this first, although most of the enemy spies in the city have been wiped out now, but you are afraid that you don't know, there are still some hidden deeply, according to my investigation during this period, I found one thing, someone is secretly funding us to find the coalition spies, the other party's methods and information really make me feel shocked!" ”
In fact, the spy Zhang Liao mentioned by Chen Gong is very clear about that force, I am afraid that except for Guanzhong, there is no force in the world that can cultivate such a secret agent. According to his understanding, Li Ru had arrested the spy system in Guanzhong many years ago, but until Dong Zhuo died, Li Ru did not find any clues. However, he now has an appointment with Long Jun, and everyone is still an enemy on the front, and Zhang Liaoche can't reveal any clues about the Guanzhong Army behind his back.
So Zhang Liao groaned, took the report from Chen Gong's hand, and said while flipping through it, "There are many such things, as far as I know, since the Beihou of Zhenbei assassinated the Qingzhou Yellow Turban bandit leader Bu has been in danger, basically the major families have begun to cultivate the secret forces, which is headed by the Yuan family of the fourth and third princes, they not only trained a large number of secret agents, but also cultivated thousands of dead soldiers, presumably the assassination of Song Xian that day was made by these." ”
"Do you suspect that the person who gave us the clue was from the Jizhou side? But according to my reasoning, how do I feel like they are Guanzhong people! When I went to Chang'an, the lord also ordered me to secretly investigate the forces behind Guanzhong, but unfortunately I found nothing. Now this sense of powerlessness is exactly the same as back then, I am really afraid that Guanzhong has secretly controlled Taiyuan, and even if our army can win here in Jinshui at that time, I am afraid that the real victory will be lost. ”
Regarding Chen Gong's analysis, Zhang Liao smiled slightly, and then said helplessly, "Then there is no way, since you Chen Junshi can't catch the traces of this group of people, I'm afraid that our gang of big bosses has no choice." But if you have this doubt, why don't you make it clear to the Lord? Although the lord has been a little full of will in recent days, in the face of Guan Zhongjun, I am afraid that he will be calmer than you and me. ”
"But I'm afraid that the lord will kill innocents indiscriminately in Taiyuan City, but he hates Long Jun's betrayal, if we don't stop him today, I'm afraid he will go to Zhenbei Hou again. If the coalition forces are completely repulsed, it will be enough, and now this situation has become a game for our Quartet, from the dark to the open, if he is so willful, our army will fail! ”
After speaking, Chen Gong's face was stunned, and he hurriedly left Zhang Liao, and walked quickly to Lu Bu's tent, this report is not only in his hand, but also in Song Xian's place, presumably Song Xian's share has been handed over to him at this time, in case Lu Bu receives this report, then Taiyuan City is about to face not only the attack of the coalition army, but also Lu Bu's bloody cleanup. But everything is always so unexpected, when Chen Gong just arrived at Lu Bu's place, he found that Song Xian had been tied up in front of Lu Bu.
At this time, Lu Bu held a long sword between Song Xian's neck, and scolded angrily, "Okay, you shameless Song Xian, in vain, Benhou values you, I didn't expect you to secretly join the enemy, if it weren't for Hao Yin sending this secret report to my account, I'm afraid I still think that you are the one who really helps me." You say, how much benefit did Liu Bei give you, so that you can betray your promise, abandon your old master, and assist the rebels to seize my Taiyuan? Yes? Say!!! ”
Not to mention that Chen Gong didn't expect this scene, even Lu Bu is in anger now, and he doesn't have time to think. Song Xian, who was guarding Taiyuan, had secretly taken refuge in Liu Bei, and once such a shocking scandal was exposed, the morale that had just been condensed in the army would collapse in an instant, and it would even give the coalition army a chance. In desperation, Chen Gong rushed to Lu Bu's side, grabbed the long sword, and persuaded in a deep voice, "The lord must not kill this man at this time, otherwise this matter will break out, the army will inevitably mutiny, and there will be a bloody storm in Taiyuan City." Besides, you can think about it, how did Hao Yin get this secret report? Where did he get the evidence! ”
Hearing this, Lu Bu turned his head and took a deep look at Chen Gong, whose face was full of burnt, and then sneered, "You mean that Hao Yin was used?" Is this guy wronged? But if you have been in Taiyuan, you should know how serious the infiltration of the other party's secret agents is, let alone a Song Xian, maybe there are people in the military camp who are rebelling against the other party now! If I don't use the head of this thing to stand up today, I'm afraid it won't be long before even you and I will be secretly picked off by the other party. ”
Facing Lu Bu, who was already in the shadow of the bow and snake, Chen Gong sighed silently, and then let go of the hands holding the long sword and stepped aside. At this moment, Song Xian also knew that Lu Bu would never let him go, but if he wanted him to accept his fate, it was also wishful thinking, since he Hao Yin could betray himself, then why couldn't he betray others, so Song Xian trembled and shouted intermittently, "My lord, please give me a chance to make meritorious contributions, I have clues for you, not only me, but also Hao Yin, including the generals of all the provinces in the city, are basically secretly surrendering to the enemy, I have a list to give to you, please let go... Leave me alone!! ”
"Hao Yin defected to the enemy? Hehe, do you want to pull a cushion even if you die? Since Hao Yin is also secretly defecting to the enemy, why didn't you tell him early? Now, are you a fool to me? After speaking, without waiting for Chen Gong to ask, Lu Bu cut Song Xian's neck with a sword, and then knocked his head away with a punch.
The bloody scene made the guards guarding around the tent suddenly frightened, and Chen Gong was spurted with blood, drenched all over his face, and when he wiped the blood dry, when he saw such a scene, Chen Gong was silent, and then walked behind Lu Bu, looked at the headless corpse, and sighed, "Lord, the situation is complicated now, not only is there a problem within our army, but there is also an unidentified spy in the city, before I planned to persuade the lord to suspend the cleaning of the city, but now in this situation, since the lord has killed Song Xian, So if you don't continue to clean up, I'm afraid everyone will think that the main public thunder is heavy and rainy, and feel that our army is in a desperate situation, but it will prompt them to surrender to the other party! ”
"So what do you say? Now that the morale of our army is high, do you plan to let our army withdraw into Taiyuan like this? to suppress the other side? Aren't you afraid that the military supplies that have just been condensed will be damaged again? ”
Speaking from the heart, after Lu Bu killed Song Xian, how could he still have a military heart? I'm afraid that as soon as this news comes out tomorrow, the entire army will be uneasy. In such a situation, who doesn't have a careful mind? Lu Bu stabbed this matter, didn't he wait for the army's spirit to be unstable? So Chen Gong said helplessly, "As soon as Song Xian dies, there will inevitably be turmoil in the city, and if the lord does not personally enter the town to suppress it, I am afraid it will be difficult to calm the people's hearts." Besides, doesn't the lord want to check Hao Yin? ”
"Hao Yin?" Hearing this name, Lu Bu held the hand of the long sword, and the green tendons burst out, don't look at him just reprimanded Song Xian, but in his heart he agreed with Song Xian's gift, coupled with Chen Gong's analysis, Lu Bu then said in a deep voice, "Pass the order, tomorrow I will order 10,000 soldiers and horses to follow me into the town to suppress the rebellion, and the rest of the soldiers and horses will be stationed here to defend the coalition army to cross the river!" ”
"Whoa!"
