Chapter 517: Conspiracy

Li Su was killed by Zhang Xiu, and Lu Bu was also defeated by Zhang Xiuhao's archers, setting off a huge wave in the city.

For a time, the people in Chang'an City were panicked, the military spirit was turbulent, and the hundred officials were shaken.

As the leader of this matter, Wang Yun was very busy, running from all sides to stabilize the situation as soon as possible. Lu Bu was in charge of the military power of Chang'an City, and knew that if Chang'an City was breached, his good days would come to an end, so he actively deployed defenses, preparing to hold Chang'an and fight a defensive battle with the Xiliang army.

As the night grew darker, torches were already lit on the castle towers.

"Crackle! Crackling! ”

The torches crackled and burned, dispelling the darkness.

Wearing armor, hanging a sword from his waist, and holding a Fang Tian halberd, Lu Bu patrolled back and forth on the city tower, followed by a young general in his early twenties and eight feet tall.

This general looks like purple jade, his eyes are like stars, a pair of sword eyebrows go straight into the temples, and his dark and translucent eyes reveal a sense of agility. Wearing black armor, an iron helmet, and a nine-foot long knife in his hand, he slowly followed behind Lu Bu. Seeing that Lu Bu had not spoken, he said: "Lord, we are too passive to guard Chang'an, it is better to take the initiative to attack and attack the camp of the Xiliang army at night, so that there may be a chance to defeat the Xiliang army." ”

When Lu Bu heard this, he shook his head and said, "Wen Yuan, if there are only ignorant martial artists like Fan Chou, Zhang Ji, and Li Meng, it would not be bad to attack the military camp at night, and it would be enough to achieve victory. However, the Xiliang Army has Li Ru in charge, this is a very tricky character, how can he be unprepared for our little trick of attacking the military camp at night, and he may even be ambushed at that time, which is not universal. ”

Wen Yuan, Zhang Liao's words.

This young general is Zhang Liao and Zhang Wenyuan.

Due to the arrival of Wang Can, all the generals under LΓΌ Bu such as Cao Xing, Wei Xu, and Hao Meng were killed, and Gao Shun surrendered to Wang Can, so that LΓΌ Bu had no generals and no generals who could support the overall situation. Lu Bu collected the Xiliang soldiers, and then took Zhang Liao for his own use, because Zhang Liao was talented, he was quickly reused, and there were no generals available under Lu Bu, Zhang Liao was very valued by Lu Bu.

The so-called unpredictable world, if it weren't for Wang Can killing the generals under Lu Bu, Zhang Liao would definitely not have been reused by Lu Bu in such a short time.

Zhang Liao took two steps forward suddenly, only a little distance away from Lu Bu, and he arched his hand and said, "Lord, we ......"

Before he finished speaking, he was interrupted by Lu Bu.

Due to the containment of Zhang Xiu and Wang Can, Lu Bu knew that he could not fight again. However, this did not affect Lu Bu, he said in a deep voice: "The city of Chang'an is strong, the Xiliang army is only more than 50,000 people, if you want to break through Chang'an, I don't know if you have to wait until the Year of the Monkey and the month of the horse, we only need to stick to Chang'an, after a long time, the Xiliang army outside the city will retreat without a fight, why go to the night attack?" Well, there is no need to discuss it at this time, and send troops to garrison it. ”

After a pause, Lu Bu said again: "Li Ru wants to rebel against the soldiers, but Benhou guards the city gate, so no one can open the city gate. Hmph, as long as Ben will be in Chang'an City for one day, the Xiliang Army will step into Chang'an City. ”

Seeing that Lu Bu was stubborn, Zhang Liao sighed slightly, and a worried look flashed in his eyes.

There is no sun that never sets, and there is no city that can never be conquered. Lu Bu is very powerful, but he can't hold the city gate for a long time, after all, he is not afraid of thieves stealing, but he is afraid of thieves.

In a short period of time, the Xiliang Army may not be able to make a breakthrough, but no one can guarantee that the Xiliang Army will continue to fail.

……

Heroes Building, Backyard.

At night, the hall is brightly lit.

This is the place where Shi Ah discussed important matters and met with guests. At this time, Shi Ah was sitting cross-legged, and there were still four or five attendants standing in the hall. Shi A glanced around at everyone and ordered: "Liu Fu, you take my name and go to the Fuwan Mansion to meet Fu Wan, invite him to the Heroes Tower, and say that I have something important to discuss with him." ”

"No!"

An attendant stepped out and snapped his fists back.

Shi A nodded, and then ordered: "Liu San, you go to the Anji General Dong Cheng's mansion to meet Dong Cheng and ask him to come to the Hero Mansion to discuss things." ”

Liu San replied with a fist and answered.

In addition to Fu Wan and Dong Cheng, Shi A also asked people to invite Changshui Lieutenant Chongji, Zhaoxin General Wu Zilan, and Shilang Prince Fu, all of whom were important ministers in the court, and they were all invited by Shi A one by one.

Because Shi Ah is good at dancing with long sleeves, he can have contact with these officials and be able to invite these people.

Fu Wan, Dong Cheng and other important ministers in the court were all friends of Wang Yun when Wang Yun was not in control of the government, and they often corresponded. However, as Wang Yun controlled the government and became arrogant, these people had opinions about Wang Yun, and gradually broke away from Wang Yun, and gradually formed another force in the court to confront Wang Yun.

This is the court strife, and where there are people, there is strife. Although it was impossible to influence Wang Yun's decision in major matters, Fu Wan, Dong Cheng and others still had considerable influence.

After Shi A's order was given, all the attendants left the Hero Building and went to inform all the officials.

In the hall, only Shi A was left.

He looked up at the dark night outside the hall, a look of contemplation on his face.

After Li Ru left Chang'an, he was doing things completely according to Li Ru's plan. Now that the Xiliang army is in the city, it has successfully turbulent Chang'an City, and the situation in the court has also begun to be unstable, which is not conducive to Wang Yun. Therefore, Shi A also began to take action to build momentum for Li Ru.

The battle in the court has never stopped.

Now that Wang Yun has revealed a little flaw, someone will attack Wang Yun and want to overturn Wang Yun from his horse. The siege of the Xiliang army is a great opportunity for them.

Wang Yun has a straightforward personality, and he doesn't pay enough attention to the affairs of the Xiliang Army, and he is too hasty, so he caused today's disaster. This is also an opportunity for Dong Cheng, Fu Wan and other important ministers of the court to turn over, as long as they can overturn Wang Yun, they will have an opportunity to become a pivotal figure in the court.

Half an hour later, Dong Cheng came to the Hero Building by car.

Shi Ah heard the footsteps and hurriedly got up to greet him.

Dong Cheng is thirty years old, in the prime of life, tall and thin, thick eyebrows and big eyes, and three short beards under the chin, which not only has the elegant temperament of a literati, but also has the courage of a military general. He was originally a general under Niu Fu and belonged to Dong Zhuo's line, but because he was the nephew of the Empress Dowager Dong, he was not implicated, but became an official in the court.

It's just that Dong Chengguan worships General Anji, but the military power in his hands has been cut and he has become a nominal general.

Shi A hurriedly greeted him and arched his hand: "Ah visit General Dong!" ”

Dong Zhuo returned the salute with a fist, and said with a smile: "Shi Jianshi, you invited me to the Hero Building late at night, what's the matter?" "His voice is loud, full of energy, and hearty atmosphere.

Shi A waved his hand to signal Dong Cheng to sit down, and then said: "Please ask General Dong to come late at night, and please forgive General Dong if you take the liberty of disturbing you...... Eh, now that Li Su has been killed, Lu Bu has been retreated by Zhang Xiu, the situation in Chang'an is critical, and Shi A is also forced to discuss major matters with General Dong. General Dong is the nephew of the Queen Mother, and he has a family history, so he will definitely be able to give some pointers. ”

Dong Cheng raised his eyebrows when he heard Shi A's words.

This topic is a very sensitive topic!

He had heard today that many eunuchs and palace maids in the palace who were discussing this matter had been killed with a rod, and Wang Yun had also killed several attendants in Situ's mansion with a rod to suppress the matter.

Now that Shia has come to him, isn't he roasting him on the fire?

Dong Cheng was just about to refuse, but he heard Shi A say: "In addition to General Dong, Shi A also invited Shi Zhongfu Wan, Prince Shilang Fu, Changshui Lieutenant Chongji, and Zhaoxin General Wu Zilan. It is also time for you to get together and discuss how we can stabilize the situation as soon as possible so that it will not be affected by the war. ”

After Dong Zhuo heard this, he didn't speak.

The so-called punishment does not blame the public, and when there are more people, it will naturally be easier to do things.

Not long after, Prince Shilang, Captain Changshui, and Zhaoxin General Wu Zilan also rushed to the hall. After the three of them saluted Shi A and Dong Cheng, they all sat down in the hall, and the rest of them were waiting.

The three of them were puzzled that Shi A invited them late at night, and they didn't know why.

After asking clearly, they are all thinking about how to deal with the affairs of the Xiliang Army?

"Step! Trample! ”

Steady footsteps came, and a middle-aged man walked in. The middle-aged man has black hair like ink, a wide forehead, eyes like stars, a straight nose, thin lips, and a beautiful beard under his chin. He was wearing a black collared coat, striding forward, his clothes fluttering, calm and imposing. This person is the servant in the middle of the end, he is the seventh grandson of the great Situ Fu Zhan, and he is the 'Marquis of Buqi'.

Fu Wan has a family history and is a very famous official in the dynasty.

When he walked into the hall, several people sitting in the hall stood up to salute. Fu smiled and bowed back to everyone, and then sat down on the first place on the left.

He arched his hand and asked, "Sword Master, what is the important matter for you to find me?" ”

Shi A said succinctly: "For the matter of Chang'an! ”

After hearing this, he raised his eyebrows, his face showed annoyance, and he said in a deep voice: "Shi Jianshi, the affairs of the court are not for you to meddle in. It doesn't matter if you invite us to come and talk about something in private. But when it comes to court affairs, this is already unruly, what do you want to do? Do you want us to rebel? ”

After finishing the fu, he scolded loudly.

As soon as he heard Shi A's words, he knew that it was for the affairs of the Xiliang Army, so he turned his face directly.

Shi A has been in Chang'an for many years, and he knows very well the character of the officials in the DPRK and China, and knows that this is a temptation.

He looked serious, and arched his hand and said: "Lord Fu said that he laughed, although Shi A is a martial artist, he also knows the words of loyalty to the country. Now Chang'an is chaotic and the situation is critical, so I invite you to discuss important matters. Moreover, Shi A also knew that Wang Situ was loyal to the country and was a loyal minister of the imperial court. However, there is a difference between loyal ministers and capable ministers, Wang Situ has a straightforward personality and cannot tolerate a little sand, so it is because of today's chaos. ”

After Fu finished scolding Shi A, it meant that Shi A wanted to kill Wang Yun. However, Shi Ah named Wang Yun as loyal to the country and a loyal minister in the court, and if he couldn't kill him, he would definitely not rebel.

In one sentence, the solemn atmosphere was dissipated.

Dong Cheng nodded and asked, "Shi'a, you must have a plan for inviting us here." Tell us what you have in mind, and if it's feasible, plan it. ”

Fu Wan sat upright, his expression was serious, but a bright light flashed in his eyes.

When it comes to national affairs, of course, you can distinguish the importance clearly.

Maybe Wang Yun was not cautious enough to do things, but he was finally from the Han family, and it was impossible to kill. If you kill Wang Yun and kill Lu Bu, it is impossible for Fu Wan and the few people present to agree to such a thing. When he heard Shi A's words, he didn't have the aggressive momentum just now, but leaned forward slightly, waiting for Shi A to speak.

Shi A arched his hand and said: "The Xiliang army is powerful and difficult to resist, so the only way to depose Wang Situ and cut off Wang Situ's authority is to appease the Xiliang army, and at the same time send people to recruit the Xiliang army, and maybe it can also quell the conquest." ”

After Fu Wan's eyes flashed, he suddenly asked: "Shi Jianshi, your method is not bad, use Wang Situ's official lord to calm the anger of the Xiliang Army, very good, very good!" But how can you think of such a solution? Could it be that it was premeditated, or was it a lobbyist of the Xiliang Army? ”

In a word, it made the atmosphere solemn again.
