Chapter 34: The Chang'an Coup (Part II)

PS: A new week is coming! Boss Dong's comrades-in-arms, smash flowers! Let the old wolf return to the flower list! οΌ‰

Lu Bu actually sat back and watched the Dong Cheng Chen Palace team attacking King Kang's Mansion pass through the defense area, and Dong Zhuo's army was mostly distributed in Chang'an City, protecting the city from passive chaos, the internal guard force of King Kang's Mansion was very weak, when the news came, Zhao Yun couldn't help but be dumbfounded, and then became furious, "Lu Bu, do you really want to rebel?" ”

"Raise the soldiers and horses, and immediately rescue the palace!" Zhao Yun had no choice but to order the troops to protect the security of the city to form a team, and in a moment, the well-trained Dong Zhuojun quickly gathered more than 5,000 people and rushed to the palace under the leadership of Zhao Yun. When the new Chang'an City was built, Kang Peng, who was very happy, built the Chang'an City Road according to the six-lane specifications of the 21st century, although it was too far-sighted, but it also facilitated the movement of troops in the city, and more than 5,000 soldiers moved very quickly, and they rushed to the outside of the LΓΌ Bu defense area in a short time.

Before he really arrived at the Lu Bu defense area, he saw Lu Bu leading the army from a distance, Zhao Yun was angry in his heart, and was about to ask, but who knew that Lu Bu first roared violently: "Zhao Yun, what are you doing here?" Why don't you do as my stepfather commanded, and purge the rebellion in the city? Is it really as Fa Xiaozhi said, do you want to rebel? ”

"What did Fa Xiaozhi say?" Zhao Yun was shocked and immediately asked: "I received the news, Wen Hou, you stand by and watch, and sit back and watch the anti-thief Dong Cheng and Chen Gong teams pass through your defense area, the palace is in danger, I am worried that the king will lose, so I rushed here." ”

"Who said I let the anti-thief team pass through the defense zone?" Lu Bu was so angry that he shouted, brandishing Fang Tian's halberd and yelling: "The anti-thief team didn't pass through me at all, Ben Hou thought they were intercepted by you halfway, I am responsible for protecting the safety of my father-in-law, not a single fly will want to pass through Ben Hou!" ”

"You come out." Zhao Yun called out the soldier who had just come to listen to the news and asked him, "Do you say it again in front of Wen Hou, where did the anti-thief team pass through the Wen Hou defense area?" What action did Wenhou's team take? ”

"Repay Wen Hou." Then Zhao Yun's subordinates saluted Lu Bu and said: "Just now, the villain found out that the anti-thieves Dong Cheng, Chen Gong and Cai Yong, totaling more than 1,500 people, passed through the Wenhou defense area from Shengmu Lane, Sixian Street and Jinwu Street in Chang'an. ”

"Nonsense!" Lu Bu was furious, and Fang Tian's halberd slashed straight down at the soldier, and shouted loudly: "Those three streets are the defense areas that my subordinate Meng Da is responsible for, why didn't he report to me that the anti-thieves had passed?" It's clear that you are in a panic to report the military situation! Zhao Yun pushed out the spear against the scales, held up Lu Bu's Fang Tian painting halberd, and saved the lives of his subordinates, Zhao Yun was surprised: "Meng Da? Isn't he a fellow countryman and friend of Fazheng? After being reminded by Zhao Yun, Lu Bu also thought of something, and asked Zhao Yun urgently: "Zilong, have you betrayed my father-in-law?" ”

"Zhao Yun is loyal to the king, how could he betray the king?" Zhao Yun replied angrily.

"An hour ago, Fa Xiaozhi found me." Lu Bu asked suspiciously: "He told me that since my stepfather was poisoned, he has had secret contact with the thief Cai Yong many times, and he is worried that you may take advantage of the chaos to be unfavorable to my stepfather, so I sent someone to monitor you, and you suddenly gathered troops to rush to my stepfather's house, of course I suspect that you have betrayed my father-in-law." ”

"My secret contact with Cai Yong, just like your secret contact with Dong Cheng, was secretly instructed by the king." Zhao Yun beat his legs and shouted: "This afternoon, Fa Zheng also found me and said that you may betray the king, Wenhou, so I also sent people to monitor you, and your subordinates let the thieves pass through the defense area, and I also suspect that you have betrayed the king, so I brought troops to come!" ”

Lu Bu was also dumbfounded, and only yelled after a while: "Fazheng Xiaoer, there must be a conspiracy to sow discord behind your back!" Zhao Yun's heart froze, and he shouted urgently: "Wen Hou, let's quickly divide into two ways, you immediately go to capture Meng Da and Fa Zheng, and I will rescue the king." After speaking, Zhao Yun waved his hand, and the new army of Dong Zhuojun led by him immediately opened and prepared to rescue the palace through the Lu Bu Defense Zone, but Lu Bu's heart moved, and he suddenly roared, "All stop, don't pass!" ”

"I am ordered by my righteous father to guard the surroundings of the palace and not allow anyone's soldiers to pass through, even you Zhao Yun is no exception." Lu Bu said confidently: "Your task is to protect Chang'an City from being destroyed by thieves, go back immediately, and guard the palace is my task." ”

Zhao Yun was stunned, and he was helpless, Lu Bu was really right. At this time, Zhao Yun could already vaguely hear the shouting and killing sound from the palace, Zhao Yun was in a hurry, and hurriedly shouted: "Wen Hou, listen, the thieves are already attacking the palace, we can't hold it anymore, or we will go to save the palace together, the left and right city gates have been under martial law, and they will definitely not be able to escape." ”

Lu Bu was a little hesitant, Zhao Yun said this, and then didn't agree, don't say that the new military department of Zhao Yun on the opposite side, even the state department under his command will doubt his true intentions, Lu Bu was about to agree, Zhao Yun on the opposite side of the team suddenly flew out of a few feather arrows, one of the arrows went straight to Lu Bu's door, Lu Bu quickly waved the halberd away the arrow, but the other feather arrows hit two soldiers of Lu Bu's army.

"Lu Bu refuses to let us rescue, he must want to rebel and cause chaos, brothers, kill him!" I don't know who in Zhao Yun's team opened his throat and shouted, Lu Bu's heart was secretly moved, and before the frightened Zhao Yun could distinguish, he first shouted: "Zhao Yun attacked our army, brothers, kill them all!" Lu Bu's troops killed loudly and rushed straight to Zhao Yunjun, fortunately Zhao Yun still kept his senses and understood that his subordinates were also traitors, while directing his troops to retreat, not fratricidal with Lu Bu's troops, while parrying Lu Bu's attack and retreating, "Wen Hou, I didn't order to attack your troops, this is someone provoking us to fight!" But Lu Bu was willing to listen, commanded the troops to chase after him, and forgot to go back to rescue the palace......

……

Time back to the time of the two pillars of incense, just after the time arrived, Kang Peng made a public appearance at home, which surprised Kang Peng's grief-stricken wives, and the mother and son of Princess Anyang, who had been kneeling in front of Kang Peng's bedroom for two days and two nights, were even more excited and fainted, but Kang Peng didn't have time to explain to his wives, just asked Hua Tuo to take care of Princess Anyang's mother and son, and constantly sent people to inquire about the situation in the city.

"Old ugly ghost, I want you to give me an explanation!" Wen Lu, whose eyes were red, grabbed Kang Peng's ears and scolded viciously: "You pretended to be poisoned, why didn't you tell us in advance?" It's caused us to cry to death these days, and you yourself are on the sidelines. ”

"Excuse me, ma'am." Kang Peng apologized with a smile on his face: "At that time, Gu was worried that you knew that Gu was pretending to be poisoned and leaking the horse's feet, which delayed Gu cleaning up the rear, so I didn't tell you in advance, and I hope that Mrs. will forgive me." ”

"No way!" Wen Lu was unforgiving, grabbed Kang Peng's ear and didn't let go, "You hurt us and we're all worried about dying, if you don't say how to compensate us today, I can't spare you?" Kang Peng laughed dryly, pulled Wen Lu into his arms, and was about to say something to Wen Lu about making amends on the bed, when a personal soldier rushed in and knelt down on one knee towards Kang Peng, "King Yu, the anti-thieves Dong Cheng, Chen Gong, Cai Yong, Wei Huang and Geng Ji led more than 2,000 armed soldiers, and the soldiers were divided into four ways and went straight to the palace. ”

"Ahh Wen Lu was startled, and Kang Peng's other wives were also discolored, especially Cai Wenji fainted with fright when she heard that her father's name was also among them, but Kang Peng waved his hand nonchalantly: "Ladies, don't worry, Lu Bu, the son of Lonely, has arranged a net around the palace, don't worry about these little thieves." ”

"The King." The soldier was sweating profusely and said, "Wen Hou's army did not intercept these anti-thieves, and sat back and watched these anti-thieves pass through the defense area. ”

"What!" Kang Peng was really anxious this time, holding Wen Lu and jumping three feet high, pacing back and forth nervously in the room, quickly calculating Lu Bu's intentions in his heart, but Wen Lu smiled and said: "King, don't worry, Dong Cheng Chen Gong and his ilk, most of them are scholars who are powerless, and they are also armed soldiers who have never been on the battlefield, hand over your personal soldiers to me, and I will capture these thieves alive for you." Kang Peng knew Wen Lu's martial arts, and immediately agreed, and ordered his family to send Dong's mother and his other wives and children to the underground secret room where Jia Xu was, just in case.

Soon after Wen Lu went out with his own soldiers, Kang Peng heard the shouts of killing outside the house, Kang Peng was not worried that his personal soldiers would not be able to stop these rabble, but calculated the consequences of Lu Bu's move with a gloomy face, gradually, Kang Peng already understood Lu Bu's true purpose, if Dong Cheng succeeded successfully this time and killed all the Dong family, then Lu Bu could use the reputation of his righteous son to successfully take over Dong Zhuojun, take his place, and become the biggest beneficiary of this coup; If Dong Cheng fails, Lu Bu can excuse his subordinates' poor execution to shirk responsibility, he can bear at most one intention of not being strict under the rule, and even when Dong Cheng's defeat is decided, Lu Bu can come out to pick up the credit, and he doesn't even have to bear the charge.

"What a calculation." Kang Peng sneered in his heart......

"Your lord, the anti-thief Cai Yong has been captured alive by the Nine Princesses." It didn't take long for the news to come one after another, first Cai Yong was captured by Wen Lusheng, then Wei Huang was cut down by Kang Peng's new pro-soldier captain Shu Guang, and then he was cut into meat sauce by Kang Peng's pro-soldiers, and then Chen Gong's team was killed and dispersed by Kang Peng's pro-soldiers, and the wounded Chen Gong was surrounded by Kang Peng's pro-soldiers, and it was only a matter of time before Kang Peng's pro-soldiers were captured alive, Kang Peng's pro-soldiers were all carefully selected elites in Dong Zhuo's army, veteran oils crawled out of the pile of dead, and dead soldiers who were fed by Kang Peng's money and land, Dong Cheng, Chen Gong and others led by armed families or diners who had never been on the battlefield, and no matter how many they were, they never wanted to defeat these battle-hardened soldiers.

After a while, a Kang Peng's own soldier with the blood of the enemy rushed in, and as soon as he entered the door, he shouted: "Great king, the big thing is not good, Wen Hou's army and General Zhao Yun's army have clashed for some reason, Wen Hou's army is chasing and killing General Zhao Yun's army, and General Zhao Yun has retreated to the southern city of Chang'an in order to prevent our army from killing each other." ”

"Smack!" Kang Peng picked up an unlucky teacup and smashed it, his ugly face turned from black to blue, Kang Peng sneered in his heart: "Okay, I'll really make excuses!" Kang Peng stood up and shouted: "Pass the order, within a pillar of incense, kill all the thieves in the palace for me, and I want to go to Nancheng in person to see who dares to start infighting!" The pro-soldiers rushed out with a roll, Kang Peng thought about it, and also went out of the room surrounded by more than a dozen pro-soldiers, and went straight to the door to check.

When he arrived at the gate of the palace, Chen Gong had been captured after being knocked unconscious by Kang Peng's personal soldiers, and only Dong Cheng and Geng Ji were surrounded by Kang Peng's personal soldiers in the restoration party, and there were only more than 100 people left around them. Dong Cheng, Geng Ji and others, who were anxious, were shocked when they heard this, looked up, and saw Kang Peng, who should have been poisoned and unconscious, standing majestically in front of the gate of the palace with a big belly full of fat, and couldn't help but be frightened.

"Madame, good skills." For the sake of sexual well-being, Kang Peng was busy patting his ass, and Wen Lu turned around and threw a flattering look at Kang Peng, and the sword in his hand did not stop at all, forcing Geng Ji out of breath, and the other henchmen of the Restoration Party saw that Kang Peng had appeared, and they were all frightened, and Kang Peng took the opportunity to shout: "You are a thief who is against the country, and you are not on the precipice?" The Restoration Party all knew that Dong Zhuojun did not kill prisoners, and when they heard Kang Peng's words that meant sparing their lives, they hurriedly threw down their weapons, and in a moment, the Restoration Party either died or surrendered, leaving only Geng Ji alone surrounded by Kang Peng's own corps.

"It's a pity, it's a pity." Seeing that the general trend had gone, Geng Ji knew that it was difficult to escape, sighed twice and killed himself, committing suicide in front of Kang Peng, and at this point, the Restoration Party declared the entire army annihilated.

"Quickly straighten out the horses, place the wounded and prisoners, and go to the southern city with the orphans." Kang Peng ordered, the soldiers went down quickly, helped the injured companion into the house for treatment, escorted the prisoners down to guard, in an instant, there were only three or four hundred people left around Kang Peng to protect, Kang Peng personally for Wen Luqiao's face splashed blood, was about to say a few intimate words to Wen Lu......

"Kill!" Kang Peng suddenly killed an army in the darkness on the left side of King Kang's mansion, Kang Peng was shocked, and saw that it was a group of troops wearing Dong Zhuojun's military uniform, led by a partial general of Dong Zhuojun, Kang Peng still vaguely remembered that his name was Shen Tan, and the general Meng Da who belonged to the Jizhou Legion commanded him, Kang Peng shouted angrily: "Shen Tan, you want to rebel against Gu? Who knew that Shen Tan on the other side was not afraid, pointed a spear at Kang Peng and shouted: "This is the anti-thief Dong Cheng sent someone to pretend to be the king, the real king has been killed by the anti-thief Dong Cheng, kill this fake king, avenge the king!" Kang Peng was furious, but Shen Tan had already killed, Wen Lu next to him didn't say a word, led Kang Peng's personal soldiers to catch up, and Shen Tan fought together, that Shen Tan was riding a horse, Wen Lu was a foot fight, although the martial arts were higher than him, but Shen Tan took advantage of the condescending, and he couldn't fight for a while.

"Kill the Fake King!" Kang Peng's left Wen Lu was still restrained by Shen Tan, and on the right he killed an army, but it was Shen Tan's eldest brother Shen Yi, Kang Peng had only more than ten personal soldiers around him, and the soldiers led by Shen Yi were five or six hundred, Kang Peng's side, including Wen Lu, was so frightened that his face turned pale, but Kang Peng was not in a hurry, sneered, and patted a few times with two fat hands, and the walls of the palace suddenly became dusty, showing rows of black holes, and countless black-clothed people jumped out of the holes. Ma Zhong didn't say a word, waved his knife and went straight to Shen Yi, and led the man in black to protect Kang Peng's right side.

"Hurry up and kill all the thieves!" Kang Peng drank and ordered, since Shen Tan and Shen Yi have rebelled, it is naturally indispensable for their sworn friend Meng Da - and Meng Da's sworn friend Fa Zheng, now Fa Zheng and Meng Da have not yet appeared, and Kang Peng's last ambush soldier Dark Moon Group has already appeared, if they don't kill the Shen brothers quickly, then Kang Peng will no longer have the strength to block the possible ambush of Fa Zheng and Meng Da.

Shen Tan and Shen Yi were still holding Wen Lu and Ma Zhong in check, but countless torches suddenly appeared on the street opposite King Kang's mansion, and hundreds of soldiers wearing Dong Zhuojun's military uniforms surrounded Fa Zheng and Meng Da, Kang Peng laughed and said: "Okay, good, good, Fa Zheng, you are the first person to look away, Wen He sued you in front of Gu to form a gang and form a Fufeng Gang in Gu's army (PS: Fa Zheng, Meng Da, Shen Yi and Shen Tan are all from Fufeng County, Yongzhou), and they are afraid of chaos for a long time, and they really didn't wronged you." ”

Fa Zheng's face was calm on the surface, he didn't say a word, but his heart was very nervous, he thought that Dong Boss was really poisoned, so he assassinated Jia Xu, wanting to avenge the defeat in the army's struggle for power, and by the way, he grabbed Dong Zhuojun's military power in the first month near the water, who knew that after the killers sent, Fa Zheng judged from all kinds of signs that Dong Boss might be pretending to be sick, but Fa Zheng had no way back - Jia Xu's mind was not as broad as Li Ru, so he had to continue to work hard, using the factional struggle in Dong Zhuo's army, provoked the contradiction between Lu Bu and Zhao Yun, directed the illusion that Zhao Yunjun attacked Lu Bu's army, transferred the garrison of the palace, and used the opportunity of fellow villager Meng Da to assist Lu Bu to protect the palace, concealing that Lu Bu deliberately let Dong Cheng, Cai Yong and Chen Gong and other restoration party teams pass through the defense area, and used the hands of the restoration party to consume the last garrison strength of Kang Wangfu.

"Dong thief, you are nepotistic and don't know anyone." Fa Zheng didn't speak, but Meng Da spoke first, "Who am I waiting for who is not the material to protect the sky?" But you put it in the wilderness and don't use it, but you listen to and believe in Na Jia Xu Xiao'er, and hijack Long Live to forcibly move the capital, and attack the four seas to work and lose money, I will finish the country and kill the thieves today, and eliminate the harm for the people! ”

"Shut up!" Kang Peng delayed time by scolding and said: "Fazheng Xiaoer, I think that when you were under Liu Yan, you were just a small official, and you were promoted alone, undressed, and pushed to eat, where are you sorry?" Now that you are accusing lonely people of not knowing each other, you ask yourself, if there is no loneliness, can you have today? If it weren't for the fact that you violated military rules and formed a faction in the army to split Lone's army, would Lone be able to transfer you from the army to the civil administration? ”

"Who in your army isn't forming gangs?" Fa Zheng couldn't help but argue: "Lu Bu can pull the merge state faction, Li Dao Guo Yan's old military line, Ma Chao Pang De's Xiliang faction, Zhao Yun Xu Huang's new military line, Li Yan, Zhang Ren and others' Yizhou faction, they can all form gangs and split the army, why don't you punish them, but target my Fufeng faction?" ”

Kang Peng was secretly happy in his heart, of course he knew that Jia Xu was originally targeting the Fufeng system in order to fight for power, and now he deliberately wronged the law, just to buy time. Kang Peng quietly glanced at Wen Lu and Ma Zhong, who had already gained the upper hand, and was about to seduce Fa Zheng to speak again, but Fa Zheng on the other side had already guessed his intentions, and waved his hand and said: "Brother Zijing, don't talk nonsense with him, hurry up, become a king or lose a villain, and gamble on death or life!" ”

"Who dares to move a single hair?" Kang Peng saw that the people brought by Fa Zheng had rushed over, and immediately shouted, "Put down your weapons, I can save you from death, resist stubbornly, and punish all the doors!" Under the prestige of Dong Boss, many people were frightened, and suddenly slowed down, and then Fa Zheng saw it, and shouted: "Dong Zhuo has killed people excessively, since you have turned against him, you don't want to leave your life from him, if you want to live, kill Dong thief, and you will have the opportunity to save your life and get promoted!" ”

Under the instigation of Fa Zheng and Meng Da, the iron rod of the Fufeng Department rushed over with courage, and the others couldn't help but follow, Wen Lu and Ma Zhong on both sides of Kang Peng's side were in a hurry, and when they wanted to turn back to rescue, they were entangled by Shen Tan and Shen Yi two brothers, Kang Peng saw that the situation was not good, and immediately retreated to the gate, and more than ten personal soldiers quickly blocked the door under the leadership of the third bookkeeper, ready to use their lives to buy time for Kang Peng to withdraw to the secret road.

"The king is panicking!" At this critical moment, there was a burst of angry shouts behind Fa Zheng and the others, "Li Dao is here!" "Guo Yan is here, I see who dares to hurt the king a single hair!" "And me, Zhang Ji!" The sound was getting closer and closer to Kang Peng, and several fast horses rushed past Fa Zheng and the others, and rushed straight to the vicinity of the palace, Kang Peng looked fixedly, but it was several veteran ruffians in Dong Zhuo's army, Li Dao, Guo Yan and Zhang Ji, as well as Hua Xin, who was a civil official, also rushed over with a sword.

Li Dao took the lead, the spear danced wildly, Guo Yan and Zhang Ji were not to be outdone, and killed the killers of the Fufeng Department to the point of holding their heads, and a large number of Dong Zhuojun veteran soldiers also arrived, and surrounded Fa Zheng and his group in an instant, Li Dao and other Dong Zhuojun veterans and Hua Xin rolled the saddle and dismounted, knelt down on their knees in front of Kang Peng, kowtowed together, and said: "The last general and others are too late to save the car, I hope the king will forgive his sins." ”

"Everyone, please hurry up." Kang Peng's ugly face smiled like a flower, and he hurriedly beckoned Li Dao and the others to get up - he didn't dare to step forward and help him up personally, Kang Peng was also frightened by the successive betrayals, for fear that these people would suddenly turn back. Kang Peng sighed in his heart, "In the end, the old man is loyal." ”

Kang Peng said strangely: "Generals, Gu didn't order you to act tonight, how can you know that Gu is surrounded by traitors and rescue Yu Gu in time?" "Kang Peng did not give the old military department a task not because he was afraid that these people would be unreliable, but because these old soldiers usually have a lot of meritorious deeds, military discipline is extremely corrupt, bullying men and women, robbing and raping all kinds of evil, Kang Peng is afraid that they will take the opportunity to sweep the restoration party to come to Chang'an City, and the people of Chang'an will not be able to bear it.

"It was Mr. Hua's idea." Li Wei pointed to Hua Xin and explained: "Today Mr. Hua refused to send us food, we can't go out of the city to station, at that time Mr. Hua said that the situation in Chang'an City is unknown, and asked us to stay and protect you, and Mr. Hua found us again in the evening, saying that he estimated that there would be turmoil in Chang'an City tonight, and asked us to be ready to rescue the palace at any time, we felt that he was reasonable, so we gathered troops and armed soldiers, and Mr. Hua said it right. ”

Kang Peng glanced at Hua Xin, who was full of modest face, with satisfaction, and did not speak to Hua Xin, but ordered: "Xiliang Jian'er, listen, let Gu sweep these rebellions!" ”

"Sweep away the rebellion!" Countless Dong Zhuojun veterans shouted slogans and swarmed up, instantly drowning the traitor teams such as Fa Zheng, Meng Da, Shen Tan and Shen Yi in a sea of swords and guns......
