Chapter 244: Mission
The soldiers and horses stationed in Chang'an, if you are more accurate, are probably divided into three categories, the first is the local soldiers and horses in Luoyang and Chang'an, and the second is the Xiliang sergeant brought by Dong Zhuo. As for the last group of people, this is the step of the soldiers brought by Lu Bu from Bingzhou, after all, they have been in Luoyang, Chang'an for so long.
It is impossible not to have your own people around, and in this era, so in the soldier team of Chang'an, there are naturally soldiers from the state, and in this way, the soldiers composed of three camps finally gathered together.
However, it is the soldiers of these three places who come together, so there are multiple contradictions, Lu Bu is a general, in his opinion, the soldier's vocation should be to charge on the battlefield and fight on the battlefield, as for other things, there is no need to pay attention to so much. So where does he care about the mood of the soldiers?
As for Wang Yun, although if he had discovered this earlier, he might have handled the matter properly, but Wang Yun is now in the limelight, only thinking about the struggle for power, where would he care about so many things. Therefore, they didn't pay attention to this, and the final outcome was that Lu Bu, who was unparalleled in the world, cooperated with the scheming Wang Yun, but in the end they couldn't command their soldiers well.
In the end, it led to the two third-rate generals of Li Dao and Guo Yan, who actually led troops to counterattack Chang'an and successfully disrupted the palace.
And at this moment, it can be said that it is bleak in Situ Wangyun's mansion, when Situ Wangyun heard the news that Lu Bu had defeated Li Dao Guo Yan, the whole person kicked and jumped and scolded Lu Bu for being a waste, but at this moment everyone else had already rushed in. No matter how unhappy Wang Yun is in his heart, he still focuses on his own life.
Wang Yun's housekeeper hurriedly ran in and said: "Lord, the carriage has been prepared, and all the valuable things in the house have been loaded into the car, we escaped from the northwest gate of Chang'an, there are our people in it, we can get out of the city safely!" ”
Wang Yun nodded after hearing this, he had to run, after all, his position was too peak. Li Dao and Guo Yan are not like Dong Zhuo, and they are even more brainless than Dong Zhuo in some aspects. Therefore, once Wang Yun is caught, Wang Yun has absolutely no good fruit to eat, so he must escape.
Wang Yun hurriedly walked to the door, and could see that there were three carriages outside, which not only contained Wang Yun's family, but also piled up countless gold and silver treasures, Wang Yun wanted to step on the car and go, but when he was just about to get on the car, his eyes involuntarily looked ahead.
"You, you ......" The people standing in front of Wang Yun were all people in black clothes and black robes, with black cloths on their faces, all of them were Wang Yun's subordinates, escorting Wang Yun out of the city, but at this moment Wang Yun felt that something was wrong with these people, especially the people who were the leaders.
The two people led by them did not deliberately hide their faces, and directly showed their true faces to be two peerless women, and these two people are no one else, one is Ren Xun and the other is Xiao Yun.
"Hehe, daughters, ......" Wang Yun remained calm, laughed twice and wanted to say something, but he was greeted by Ren Wei's cold words.
"Wang Yun, do you know that today next year will be your death day!"
"Hongchang, the two of us are father and daughter, why do you say this!" Wang Yun said with some puzzlement.
"No, from the moment you asked someone to hurt Cao Xing, the two of us were completely broken!"
When Wang Yun heard this, his expression gradually turned cold. It seems that Ren Wei already knows all about him, and there is no need to continue to pretend to deceive some things like this.
"Hehe, just for the sake of Cao Xing's kid, you actually want to turn your face with me, is it worth it, do you know that doing this for your father is for the sake of the world!"
"It's just a tool for your personal gain, and I stay with you a lot, and I don't know how much you've gained from it? It's just that I was stupid every time I was stupid, you used the words of the world to fool me, but every time I believed it, this time you can continue to make up stories in front of me, but I won't believe it! ”
As soon as Wang Yun heard this, his face gradually became gloomy, and he stepped forward and shouted: "Hongchang, let me tell you, I have raised you for more than ten years, and you have not repaid my kindness for raising you, and now you want to assassinate me, this is disloyalty and injustice!" ”
When Ren Xun heard this, the look on his face was neither sad nor joyful, but he responded indifferently: "Didn't you tell me before?" As long as I am helping you complete a task, the two of us will be cleared, and now I will also help you kill Dong Zhuo, you are still using your moral high ground to accuse me, you say that it is the two of us in the end, who is more trustworthy! ”
When Wang Yun heard this, he was stunned at first, but then there was a burst of fear, he found that he really didn't seem to have anything to use to threaten Ren Yun now, and in the end he could only look at the guards around him and yelled, "What are you still doing there?" Don't you take down this thief for me! ”
However, after listening to Wang Yun's words, those guards lowered their heads and no one moved.
In the end, Wang Yun could only point at Ren Xun with a red face and scolded: "I know, come and kill me, that's what Cao Xuan means, you are just for that Cao Xing, so you want to kill me, you trust that Cao Xuan so much, since that Cao Xuan appeared, your whole person has been brainwashed, yes, I do have some changes, but I at least have a bottom line, now I can tell you very clearly, you are still as stupid as before, just because you are helping Cao Xuan now, if you wait for Cao Xuan to sit in my position, You'll find out that he's just like me, huh? ”
Wang Yun's words came out, and he could see Ren Yun's eyes trembling, he seemed to be really shaken in his heart, Wang Yun was cunning and cunning, and quickly caught the unusual expression of Ren Yun's expression, so he was ready to increase his efforts and say something again, trying to let Ren Yun let him go.
But before he could speak, Ren Wei's eyes suddenly became firm again: "You are wrong, I have always adhered to my heart, I know that I don't have a conscience, I started training at the age of ten, and I have reached this level, what I did was for the world to eliminate harm, and now it is still for the world to eliminate harm, as for the future, you don't have to worry anymore, because ......"
I saw a sword light flashing, and Wang Yunren's head fell to the ground.
When the night was dark and the wind was high, Cao Xing wore a coat and a hat, and entered Chang'an City with Che Wu and others.
Cao Xuan led people into a dark room, in the darkness came a little bit of sobbing, hearing this sound, Cao Xuan only felt a little worried, he walked quickly to the middle, let people turn on the torch, only to see a woman sitting on the ground and crying, tears have wet her face, in front of this woman there is a corpse.
Seeing this, Cao Xing couldn't help but touch his forehead, his movements were still a lot slower after all, Cai Yong died in Situ Wangyun's secret room, and at this moment Cai Yong was holding Cai Yong's body and crying. Cai Yong's ending is still the same as in history.
Seeing this, Cao Xuan walked up helplessly and patted Cai Yan's shoulder to tell him not to be sad.
Until dawn, Cai Yong finally stopped crying, Cao Xing asked everyone to put away Cai's corpse first, and then went to comfort Cai Yan, Cai Yan's eyes were already crying and swollen, Cao Xuan only had one thought, now Cai Yan has lost his support, so take him back to Bingzhou.
Cai Yan did not refuse Cao Xing's proposal, after all, she is now helpless and homeless, but at this moment, Cai Yan seemed to suddenly remember something, he handed over a letter to Cao Xing, Cao Xuan opened it and found that it was actually Ren Xun's handwritten letter, but after reading the letter, Cao Xuan also sighed helplessly.
Ren Wei is a beautiful woman, but in her beauty, she has his wit, his personality, and his own beliefs. Ren Wei mentioned in the letter that he felt that he still had an unfinished mission, so he would not come to Cao Xuan for the time being, and Cao Xuan could only sigh helplessly for what he had done, since he wanted to go, then let him go.
It's been a few months since I came to Chang'an. Everything has been settled, and the next thing is to return to Bingzhou, after all, the power of the Eastern Han Dynasty has completely collapsed. Since this is the case, Cao Xing can let go of his hands and feet to do his own thing.
However, it is worth mentioning that on the way back to Bingzhou with Cao Xing, he was robbed by a group of thieves, and the number of those thieves was not small, there were thousands of people, and more importantly, they were well-equipped and well-trained. Cao Xing and Che Wu only had more than 200 people around him, how could they be their opponents, so they could only fight and retreat.
When Cao Xing and the others retreated to a mountain col, there was no way to retreat, so they could only use the terrain of the mountain recess to constantly defend. But even so, it was a precarious battle, and finally at the most critical moment, Hu Che'er took the trained cavalry to settle here, and directly dispersed all the thieves, so Cao Xing and others were rescued.
However, Cao Xuan had just come down the mountain, and he didn't breathe a sigh of relief, he directly stepped on a war horse, picked up his broad-handed knife, and then pursued the group of thieves who retreated and fled.
Cao Xing's horsemanship was very fast, and after a while, he saw the group of bandits who were desperately running away, Cao Xing didn't think about it, and a few arrows flew out and hit all of them, but they didn't kill these thieves, Cao Xing's arrows all hit the calves of these thieves.
Cao Xuan caught eight thieves in a row, Hu Che'er, Che Wu and others tied up these eight thieves, and then pushed them in front of Cao Xing.
Cao Xuan sat in the makeshift tent, looked at the eight thieves with blazing eyes, and then asked, "Who sent you?" ”
The thieves who were caught were asked by Cao Xing, and one of the leading people in the middle seemed to be quite tough, only to see him twist his neck and say directly: "Hehe, who are you just thinking too much, we just see that your team is rich, so we want to rob you!" ”
Cao Xing can only laugh at these people's rhetoric, although there were many bandits in the late Eastern Han Dynasty, but then again, most of them are just some inconspicuous little bandits. It's okay to bully unarmed people at ordinary times, but if you really want to do it, they are nothing. Not to mention, robbing the armies of the past.
Seeing that this group of bandits was killed and did not admit it, Cao Xing showed a sneer on his face. I saw that his hand held the broad-headed knife, and the next moment, the leading bandit fell directly to the ground, before he died, his eyes were prominent, his mouth was open, as if he wanted to say something, but there was no longer this opportunity, and several other thieves were silent when they saw this scene.
And Cao Xing sneered and looked at these people and said: "You thieves are also majestic enough, think that I am also the county guard of Jiuyuan County personally sealed by the imperial court, but I was beaten so embarrassed by you, if I let you go back, your capital is enough for you to brag for ten years, so I think I must kill you all!" ”
Hearing that Cao Xuan was going to kill again, the remaining seven thieves were extremely frightened, and some of them seemed to be a little choked up and wanted to speak, but when they thought of something, they finally swallowed the words back alive, and finally could only look at Cao Xuan with a begging look.
However, Cao Xuan smiled at this, and then said: "Actually, I, Cao Xing, am not the kind of person who loves to kill, among the remaining seven people in it, I will leave one alive, so that he can brag about his achievements in this life, as for the remaining six people, it is better to go to hell to accompany your boss, and at the same time, I am also here to let you keep the secret in your heart!" ”
Cao Xing's words completely broke the remaining three folds of psychological defense, and one of the thieves was the first to react, he couldn't help crying bitterly, and kowtowed like pounding garlic like Cao Xing.
"Lord County Guard, I said, I said, I said all, I just ask you to spare my life, in fact, we are all Shangtang's border guards, and we have been stationed here a long time ago, but this time we received an order from a general, ordering us to directly disguise ourselves as bandits, rob you, and even take your life!"
Hu Che'er and Che Wu next to him sneered, this is really the case, but soon a new question will come, who wants to kill Cao Xing?
"You just said that an officer gave you an order, do you know what the officer's name is!" Che Wu was still quite meticulous in his work, and asked directly.
Since the thief has chosen to confess, then it is definitely impossible to harbor it again, just listen to him, he doesn't know what the officer's name is, but his surname seems to be Zhang.
Che Wu was a little confused, and he wanted to continue asking, but Cao Xing waved his hand and said, "Don't ask again, this is my guess, it should be Shangtang's Taishou Zhangyang!" ”
When Cao Xing said this name, he could see that the people in the entire camp were surprised, what kind of person Zhang Yang was, it can be said that after Ding Yuan entered Beijing, he handed over everything in Bingzhou to this Zhang Yang to take care of, so Zhang Yang's identity can be regarded as an acting assassin history.
