Chapter Seventy-Eight: The Mystery of Shanyang Gong's Death
Lu Bu, a white-eyed wolf, came to Qian County, and Chen Gong said to the guards of the city: "Xuande Gong asked me to wait to get grain and grass and open the city quickly." The guards of the city did not know why, so they opened the city gate, and Lu Bu led his eight strong generals into the city.
Wen Chou stayed in the rear, and the idle eggs every day were painful, so he passed the time by drinking. When Lu Bu was killed in the state pastor's mansion, Wen Chou was drinking a lot, and Lu Bu effortlessly tied up Wen Chou, detained Liu Xuande's family, and incorporated the soldiers of Qian County with the state pastor's seal letter and occupied Yuzhou.
Liu Bei made a great mistake in sending troops to Luoyang this time, perhaps in order to show his big face in front of the world, maybe to seize territory, or to really show his loyalty, and transferred the main force of Yuzhou to the front line, leaving less than 10,000 horses in the rear. The counties and counties of Yuzhou, under the command of Chen Gong, were mainly composed of eight strong generals and sent troops to all directions. The county guard and the county commander (chief) have all become wall grass in this troubled era, and whoever has a fist will listen to whom. As the Eight Jian generals sent out their troops, holding both carrots and big sticks in their hands, the county guards and county commanders (chiefs) expressed their loyalty to Lu Bu. By the time Liu Bei's army came to Qian County, Lu Bu had already taken most of Yuzhou into his hands.
Liu Bei still had an army of 60,000 and was ready to attack the city. Chen Gong was still thick-skinned and brought Wen Chou, Liu Bei's Mrs. Gan, Mrs. Fan and Liu Bei's son Adou to the city. Liu Bei saw it and scolded Chen Gong for being shameless. Chen Gong stood at the head of the wall and said to Liu Bei: "Born in troubled times, the fittest survives. Xuande Gong, Yuzhou has entered the bag of Wenhou, and if you know each other, leave 50,000 troops behind, and naturally return them to your family. "Liu Bei trembled, 50,000 troops, how many years of hard work is this? Jian Yong said beside him: "The lord must not agree. Liu Bei said secretly: Isn't this nonsense?
Chen Gong pondered people's hearts very well, and with a wave of his hand, several hideous-looking soldiers held bright knives and put them on the necks of Wen Chou and the two ladies, Chen Gong raised Xiao Adou in his hand, pointed at Liu Bei and said: "Xuande Gong, don't pity General Wen Chou and the two ladies, run around for half a life, and don't pity the only remaining blood and bones?" Wen Chou originally wanted to say a few big words to show the image of a tough guy, but when he saw Adou struggling in the hands of Chen Gong, he immediately fell silent.
Liu Bei's face was bloodless, and it became pale and very pale. is nearly forty years old, Fang has a son, and now as long as Chen Gong's big hand can't grasp it, Adou will fall outside the two-zhang high wall, what is the result? Fools know. Liu Bei's various thoughts collided violently, making Liu Bei only feel distressed, and rubbing the clothes on his chest back and forth with both hands to relieve the pressure. Even though Jian Yong and Sun Qian were full of wisdom, they were all stunned in the face of this situation.
Liu Bei secretly swore that as long as there was a breath left in this life, he would kill Chen Gong.
Liu Bei's deep voice finally sounded, "Gongtai, I accept your conditions." β
Chen Gong smiled, "Xuan Degong, who really understands the times." Please Xuande lead 10,000 horses and horses to withdraw twenty miles away, and wait for my lord to control the troops outside the city, and return General Wenchou and his family. β
Liu Bei looked at Yan Ming and Chen Dao, and he turned the horse's head with Jian Yong and Sun Qian, and slowly retreated. Yan Ming and Chen Zhi naturally knew which soldiers were elite and loyal to Liu Bei. 10,000 troops, along with Yan Ming and Chen Zhi, slowly disappeared from the city's field of vision.
Liu Xie's fiefdom Shanyang was in Hanoi County, north of Luoyang, which was equivalent to the vicinity of the current Jiaozuo City. Accompanying Liu Xie to Shanyang County was Yuan Shao's 1,000 elites, led by Yan Rou. Yan Rou is not a simple person, when he was a teenager, he was taken captive by the Xianbei people to the grassland, and was appreciated by the Xianbei people as a prisoner, and helped the Xianbei people to fight with Gongsun Zhan, Liu Ze destroyed the Xianbei in the east, Yan Rou returned to the Central Plains and served Yuan Shao. Historically, after the Battle of Guandu, Yan Rou returned to Cao Cao and was appreciated by Boss Cao and treated him as a nephew, which shows how kind he is. After Cao Pi ascended the throne, he worshiped as the general of Duliao to defend against foreign races in the north.
Zhang Liao and Huang Zhong sent troops to Hanoi, but Yan Rou couldn't sit still and sent a messenger to report to Yuan Shao. Liu Xie is too sensitive, once it falls into Liu Ze's hands, it is estimated that Yuan Shao will tear Yan Rou apart with his own hands, so Yan Rou has to be cautious.
Since Liu Xie's arrival, Shanyang County has suddenly become lively. Yan Rou understands that the great Han scholar, the thought of Zhongjun is deeply rooted in the bone marrow, although the Duke of Shanyang is the deposed emperor, the appeal will not be eliminated for a while, so for those who rush to Shanyang and are eager to see Liu Xie, they turn a blind eye.
Shi A sat quietly in the house of an inn in Shanyang County, listening to the report of his subordinates, "Recently, several groups of unknown people have come to Shanyang, and their subordinates have gone to inquire about the place where they are staying, but they can't ask why. Shi A nodded and said, "Find out their identities as soon as possible, whether they are friends or foes, and, see how they are forced?" The man agreed, turned and went out. Shi Ah stood up, came to the window, opened the window a crack, and looked at the flow of people entering and leaving the gate of the Shanyang Mansion.
Yuan Shao received a letter from Yan Rou, instructing Yan Rou to escort Liu Xie across the river and into Luoyang as soon as possible. The situation is urgent and can be ...... How could Yan Rou not understand what Yuan Shao meant, and immediately started to prepare.
There is Taihang in the north of Shanyang, and there is a river in the south, and the location is excellent, and for a while, Liu Ze's army still can't beat it. Yan Rou looked at the map for a long time and decided to go to Huai County first, pass Pinggao, go to Wen County, cross the river in Mengjin, cross Xiaopingjin Pass, and return to Luoyang. The question is how to get around? Yan Rou can be sent by Yuan Shao, and he is definitely not an ordinary talent.
Lu Bu led two thousand iron horsemen out of the city to reorganize the army left by Liu Bei, and a small episode occurred. What Liu Bei is good at is buying people's hearts, and for the army, Liu Bei has invested a lot of money. With a slightly higher martial rank, Yan Ming and Chen Zhi naturally refused to let it go and took them away. More than a dozen hundred people will quietly discuss with their subordinates, preparing to take advantage of the other party's incorporation to break out. Lu Bu's daimyo and martial arts shocked many people who were about to move, and a few hundred generals who were not afraid of death couldn't help but clench their weapons when they saw Lu Bu riding a red rabbit horse and slowly coming to the front of the army.
Lu Bu looked at the 50,000 horses, and his heart blossomed, and getting 50,000 horses out of thin air was definitely a relief in the snow for Lu Bu, not the icing on the cake. Lu Bu shouted: "Put down your weapons, take the song as a unit, and assemble!! A few hundred people agitated about two hundred people, and seeing Lu Bu's arrogant appearance, taking advantage of the chaos of the formation, he quietly bullied Lu Bu in front of him, roared together, and killed Lu Bu.
Lu Bu waved the Fang Tian Painting Halberd, blocking the movements of the two thousand iron horsemen, and rode the animated halberd alone, as easily as turning a matchstick, killing the two hundred crowd. In an instant, flesh and blood flew everywhere, and corpses were everywhere. Lu Bu almost effortlessly, 200 people were splashed with blood on the spot, and 50,000 horses were stunned when they watched Lu Bu's fierceness and domineering.
LΓΌ Bu successfully recruited 50,000 soldiers and set up camp outside the city. When Liu Bei received Wen Chou and his family, it was already ten days later. Lu Bu led 5,000 cavalry and presented Liu Bei. Liu Bei looked at the territory that once belonged to him, sighed helplessly, and turned the horse's head to Nanyang in a lonely manner.
Yan Rou took advantage of the Shanyang County soldiers, and the escort was a tall carriage, and after leaving the gate of the public mansion, he turned to the west city gate. Yan Rou stood on the tall building of the mansion and looked at the street, and saw that behind the county soldiers, groups of people kept surging, and knew that his lure of the snake out of the hole was successful.
Shi Ah carefully looked at the soldiers escorting the carriage, the soldiers' bodies did not reveal the heroic spirit of the soldiers he had seen before, Shi A waved his hand and stopped the movements of his subordinates, "Wait patiently, this carriage is used to confuse the ears and eyes." β
In the guest room separated from Shi A, a big man watched the carriage slowly move west, looked at it for a long time, and said with a smile: "The ranks of soldiers are not neat, their eyes are scattered, and they are not elite. And be patient. β
Yan Rou saw that the cart was getting farther and farther, and knew that it was time to make a move, so she said to the guards beside her, who turned over and got on their horses and rushed to the west of the city.
Three hundred soldiers escorted the cart out of the west gate, and the farther and farther it went, the various people who followed behind the cart couldn't help but speed up their pace. Yan Rou's guards came to the West Gate and said to the guards of the West Gate, "The time is almost up. The guard immediately led five hundred soldiers out of the west gate.
The cart had disappeared from the sight of the soldiers at the head of the city, and the crowd following behind the cart immediately accelerated and chased after the cart, showing off their weapons at the same time. Three hundred soldiers protected the cart and formed a circle.
The combat effectiveness of the county soldiers was really average, and they were attacked by less than a hundred people, and soon more than 100 people were killed and wounded. The first big man entered the encirclement, forced the soldiers away, and pushed open the car door, only to see a person inside, thin and thin, dressed in official clothes, shrunk into a ball. Dahan sneered, swung his knife and slashed over, and the people in the car shouted: "Don't kill me, I'm not Shanyang Gong." Before the word was finished, the head flew. The big man didn't care, and when he saw that the person was dead, he looked back and said, "Withdraw." I heard one person say coldly: "Are you leaving?" β
Seeing that the other party was on a horse, the big man looked at him condescendingly, and his own people were surrounded in a circle, and roared angrily: "Kill!" β
Yan Rou quietly went downstairs, looked at the five hundred soldiers in front of him and said, "Start from the back door." The back door of the Shanyang Mansion was wide open, Liu Xie sat in the rickety car, and asked Yan Rou: "General Yan, where do you want to go?" Yan Rou said: "On the emperor's order, send the Duke of Shanyang back to Luoyang." β
Immediately, the cavalry forced the spear to the throat of the big man, and said coldly: "Whose order was it?" Dare to assassinate the Duke of Shanyang. The big man looked up to the sky and laughed, "If you die, you will die, why ask?" He stiffened his neck and slammed it into the tip of the gun. The rider sneered, "If you don't say it, someone will always say it." β
Shi Ah heard another carriage leave the mansion and went to the south gate, turned to his subordinates and said, "Come and gather the shooting dogs." He turned around and went downstairs and out of the inn.
The horseman's words were fulfilled, and sure enough, someone couldn't stand it, and the horseman looked at the man coldly and said, "You are from Yizhou, who instructed you?" "We only know that we are acting on orders, and everything is arranged by Boss Jiang." The man glanced at the big man who fell to the ground, it was Boss Jiang. The rider knew that he couldn't ask anything, and that coming from Yizhou had already revealed their identities, so there was no need to ask any more. With a wave of his hand, the five hundred soldiers under his command came out with spears and stabbed into the captured killer, and all of Boss Jiang's men fell to the ground. The rider said, "Hurry to the south of the city." Five hundred men quickly formed a formation and ran around the city in the direction of the south gate.
Yan Rou's five hundred soldiers were less than ten miles out of the city, passing through a slope, and an ominous premonition struck, Yan Rou said in a loud voice: "Shields guard both sides. With Yan Rou's shout, arrows flew like raindrops behind the slope, and the target was aimed at the carriage, Yan Rou's heart sank, this is to put Shanyang Gong to death. Yan Rou commanded the men and horses to move, gradually out of the range of the arrow rain, and the sound of horses' hooves behind him, the cavalry led five hundred men and horses to rush over.
The ambush men at the rear of the slope saw that the other party was coming to help, and quietly retreated, and a small colonel asked a big man: "General Su Fei, are we just leaving?" Dahan said, "What else? "Xiao Xiao thinks about it, more than 100 people against 1,000 people, there is no chance of winning.
Seeing that the shooting dogs were about to gather, Yan Rou breathed a long sigh of relief, and the cavalry general came to Yan Rou's side and said, "General, the people who want to kill the Duke of Shanyang in the west of the city are from Yizhou. Yan Rou nodded, it seemed that this trip would be blocked by many people.
Shi A's heart was broken when he was waiting for the shooting dogs, and he still didn't see Yan Rou's men and horses coming. Shi A was anxiously pacing back and forth in the room, and his brothers came to report that Yan Rou and the horses had forked in the road to Xiuwu. Shi A was shocked, and he couldn't hide his identity anymore, so he hurriedly went out to shoot the dogs and gather people.
Shi A followed the road, chasing Yan Rou, the sudden tragic scene came into view, the road was full of corpses after the fight, the luxurious carriage, crooked on the side of the road, Shi A came to the car, the long sword pushed the car door, only to see a person inserted several arrows, like a hedgehog, when Shi A looked at the person, it was Liu Xie, the long sword shook, "Who killed Liu Xie?" β
