Chapter Eighty-Eight: Luoyang City Breaks

Xu You looked at the wizard and said, "Please also ask the great wizard to speak clearly." ”

The wizard said, "I am a great Xianbei person, and I have lived under Xianbei Mountain for generations. Liu Rundong used despicable means to drive away 300,000 young people of Sanhan, Fuyu and other tribes, and abducted our people. If this revenge is not avenged, how can it be human? ”

Only then did Xu You understand why this great wizard hated Liu Ze so much.

Zhao Yun and Wei Yan were in the middle of the line, one of them came to the front, stared at the jade plate on Zhao Yun's waist, hugged his fists and said, "The two eldest brothers, they are so familiar, can you take a step to speak?" ”

The two followed the man around and around and came to a small courtyard, "Lin Hu in the Lower Luoyang Spy Room, I don't know what the two of you are called?" ”

Zhao Yun said: "Under Zhao Yun, this Wei Wen Chang also." ”

Lin Hu said: "I don't know if it's the two generals coming, bear with me." I don't know why I came to Luoyang at this time? ”

Zhao Yun told Liu Ze about his serious illness and told Lin Hu: "Brother Lin must keep this matter a secret. Gather people to secretly investigate who is so ruthless to King Yan? ”

Lin Hu nodded, arranged the two of them, pushed the door and went out.

Xu Yu saw the great wizard's painful expression, and said slowly: "My emperor is deeply affected by Liu Rundong. This time, if the great wizard can use his magic hand and ask for Liu Rundong's life, he will not hesitate to reward you and treat you as a national teacher. ”

The sorcerer's piercing laughter sounded again, "I only want to end Liu Ze's life, and I want nothing more." Bear with me for a day or two, and see what I do. ”

Xu You looked at the smoky table, Liu Ze's birthday and a coat were placed there, and a pitch-black sword slowly approached in the sound of the wizard's incantation. Xu You knew that once the tip of the sword pierced the chest of his clothes, Liu Ze would die with a whimper.

Lin Hu returned to the small courtyard in the evening, Zhao Yun and Wei Yan hurriedly greeted him, and Lin Hu said softly: "More than 20 brothers inquired in many ways, and they did not hesitate to buy the family members of Yuan Shao's thieves' cronies, and found out a little clue. ”

Zhao Yun was overjoyed and asked, "Brother Lin, speak quickly." ”

Lin Hu said: "According to Xu You's family, his master's whereabouts have been mysterious recently, and there is a secret room in the backyard of his house, and idlers are not allowed to approach. Based on all aspects of the situation, the younger brother also believes that Xu Yu is the most suspicious. ”

Zhao Yun pondered for a moment and said: "Xu Yu has repeatedly harmed my Yan King, although he has not succeeded, but his heart will not die. Brother Lin arranged that Wen Chang and I would visit Xu's Mansion at night tonight. ”

Lin Hu nodded and went out to gather people.

Liu Ze's body became weaker and weaker, Cai Wenji held his cold big hand, and the anxiety in his heart could not be described in words. Guo Jia, Jia Xu and others accompanied him, and he didn't know how to comfort him.

Guan Yu said to himself: "Mr. Zuo Ci has been gone for a long time, how can there be no news. ”

Liu Xiang and Liu Zhen looked at their miserable mother, and their tears had already wet their chests.

Zhao Yun and Wei Yan came to the back wall of Xu You's mansion, and Lin Hu whispered: "There are many secret sentinels around the secret room and ambushes, and the two generals are very careful. ”

Zhao Yun said: "Brother Lin, your hands are lying in the dark, and you must not show up until you have to, so as not to be exposed." Lin Hu nodded, hiding in the shadows.

The wall of Xu Youfu's courtyard was tall, and Zhao Yun and Wei Yan were lying on the wall, using their eyes to look at the situation in the backyard. In the dark backyard, I don't know how many people are secretly ambushed. The two of them cheered up, and saw that there were flashes of knives from time to time, and they roughly grasped the position of the secret whistle. Zhao Yun gestured to Wei Yan, and the two of them floated gently down the courtyard like raccoon cats along the wall.

Xu You was still very serious about his work, and there were more than 20 people in the backyard, staring vigilantly at the dark and dreary house. Zhao Yun and Wei Yan were like wisps of light smoke, quietly approaching every secret post in the courtyard under the cover of flowers and trees. Half an hour later, convinced that there would be no more to live, the two came to the door. The door was closed very tightly, Wei Yan put his hands on the door, secretly exerting his strength, only to hear a click, the door gate broke, and the door opened.

A hoarse voice in the room said, "Who is the master?" Break into my forbidden place. ”

Zhao Yun and Wei Yan were lucky, ignored the man, and slowly moved forward. The hoarse voice said, "If you enter my room, you will report your name." ”

Wei Yan's mind turned sharply, and he said loudly: "Under Wei Yun and Zhao Yanye." ”

There was silence in the room, and the man muttered, "Wei Yun, Zhao Yan, it's really a rat." The lights in the room were bright, and a tall and thin wizard appeared in front of them with a long sword.

Wei Yanchang swung his sword and stabbed it, and the wizard opened it and shouted: "Look at your skills, you must be very human, why do you hurt me?" ”

Wei Yan said: "You birdman, you have done a good thing. Think you can hide it from the world? ”

Zhao Yun had already withdrawn to the mysterious room, and saw that Liu Ze's birthday was engraved on the table, and the tip of a black long sword had pierced the chest of the hanging coat, so he couldn't help but be furious, reached out and took the long sword, inserted it into the ground with his backhand, picked up the wooden plaque engraved with Liu Ze's birthday, and burned the things on the table.

Seeing that Zhao Yun had ruined his big event, the wizard pounced like a mad tiger. Zhao Yun snorted coldly and kicked at the black long sword, and the long sword screamed, piercing into the wizard's chest and reaching the handle.

The backyard is remote, and the three of them made such a big fuss, but they didn't even alarm the people in the front yard. Wei Yan found an incense candle and lit the curtain in the house, and the two quickly pulled out and climbed over the wall.

Lin Hu answered outside, and when he saw the two of them retreating, he was overjoyed, and Zhao Yun said: "Brother Lin, King Yan is in danger, and the two of us rushed back to the camp overnight. Green mountains and green waters, you and my brothers have their own day to meet. ”

Lin Hu also knew that the matter was urgent, and led the two of them to the city wall, Zhao Yun and Wei Yan climbed up to the top of the city, and let out a long roar, like flying away.

Liu Ze's hand suddenly moved, Cai Wenji felt it, and hurriedly looked at Liu Ze's face, seeing that Liu Ze was still frowning, his expression was painful, and his heart was sad again.

"Haha..., the old man is fortunate not to be dishonored." Zuo Ci Lao Dao suddenly appeared, frightening everyone for a moment.

Liu Ze walked aimlessly in the vast dark night, his body trembled, and a person dressed as a Taoist priest walked over with a smile, opened his mouth and said, "Isn't it Yan Wanghu?" ”

Liu Ze's mouth trembled, and he stammered: "Exactly." ”

The Taoist came to Liu Ze's side, grabbed Liu Ze's hand and said, "Come back with me, there is an abyss ahead." ”

Zuo Ci came to Liu Ze's side, gestured with both hands, and put an illusory shadow on Liu Ze's body, Liu Ze let out a sigh and said hoarsely: "Freeze me too." ”

Cai Wenji saw that her husband was finally able to speak, so she took Liu Ze's hand and said hurriedly: "Husband, see who I am?" ”

Liu Ze opened his eyelids, and in a hazy way, he saw a beautiful woman leaning in front of him, blinked his eyes, and said slowly, "Why is Madam here?" ”

Cai Wenji was overjoyed in her heart, choked up and said: "The concubine is in Jixian County, and she suddenly feels unwell and her heart is pounding. I'm worried that something is wrong with my husband. ”

Liu Ze looked around and asked in a low voice, "Am I very sick?" ”

Cai Wenji cried: "It's been seven days. With that, he suddenly fell backwards and fell unconscious.

The military doctor hurriedly stepped forward, looked at the pulse and said, "Madame, it's just a day of hard work, just rest for half a day." ”

Zhao Yun and Wei Yan rushed back to the camp, Liu Ze had already woken up, was overjoyed, and told him about the situation in Luoyang City. Zuo Ci said with a smile: "The two generals have also done amazing work. If it weren't for that, I would have to go to Luoyang tonight. ”

Liu Ze looked at Zuo Ci and said, "Thank you, Mr. for saving my life." I don't know how Lone was harmed by Xu Yu? ”

Zuo Ci stroked his beard and said, "It's a witchcraft." It is mysterious and unpredictable, but its intentions are vicious, and the sky does not bless it. King Yan for the benefit of the common people, sincerity up to the heavens, the old way is just at the right time, and it is also the great creation of King Yan, so there is no danger. ”

Zhao Yun took the wooden plaque and coat, and Zuo Ci said: "The wooden plaque must be engraved with King Yan's birthday, and the coat is worn by King Yan." ”

Liu Ze looked at the coat, didn't he wear it when he was in Luoyang? Nodding his head and saying, "Mr. Dao is profound, this coat has been worn alone in Luoyang." ”

Zuo Ci smiled and said to everyone: "King Yan is worry-free, don't leave it alone." ”

Everyone opened their mouths and was about to stay, but Zuo Ci was already missing from the big tent.

After raising for seven or eight days, Liu Ze was already well, sent Lu Su, Cai Wenji and others away, discussed with his subordinates, and prepared to attack the city.

The 150,000 army held its breath long enough, and when they heard the siege, they began to prepare with all their strength. At dawn the next day, the wooden building and the stone-throwing cart approached the city wall, and with an order, they began to attack.

Xu You looked at Yuan Shaotieqing's face, and said helplessly: "Seeing that it was done, I didn't expect the bandits to break into my mansion, kill the great wizard, and set fire to the secret room where the wizard practiced. ”

Yuan Shao roared and said, "Why don't you send more people to protect it properly?" Now that Liu Rundong is as healthy as ever, he has begun to attack Luoyang City, Xu Yu Xu Ziyuan, can you be guilty? ”

Xu You's face turned into a blank piece of paper, and he stammered: "Your Majesty, it's not that the ministers are not dedicated, this matter is so secret, I don't know how the bandits know about it?" ”

Yuan Shao said viciously: "Xu Ziyuan, you patted your chest and slapped the ticket, and now that you have failed, do you still want to use strong words?" Where are the samurai? Drag me down with a spine of fifty, and put him in prison. ”

As far as Xu You's small body, fifty big sticks down, and whether his life is still guaranteed is another matter, Xu You knocked the gold bricks on the ground and shouted: "Your Majesty, read in Weichen with sincerity, spare Weichen, right?" ”

Yuan Shao ignored this at all, waved his hand, and the warrior escorted Xu Yu out of the court.

There are no generals around Yuan Shao, Yan Liang is dead, Ju Yi also died of illness not long ago, and the generals Zhou Ang, Han Xun, and Zhang Nan who are responsible for defending the city are just third-rate military generals. Faced with a dense rain of stones and arrows, the defenders cowered at the base of the wall, their eyes full of despair. After three days of smashing, Liu Ze asked the soldiers to go around the city and shout: only capture the head of the evil, and never ask. If the generals in the city can sacrifice the city, they will be crowned as a townsman and rewarded with a thousand gold.

Xian Rong was responsible for the defense of the east gate, and when he heard Yan Jun's shout, his heart moved, Yuan Benchu did not know the current situation, and claimed to be the emperor in vain, which caused the anger of the heavens; Liu Rundong captured Luoyang, half of the land of the Han Dynasty was under control, and where to go, this is a nail in the coffin. After consulting with several henchmen, Xianrong prepared to surrender the city.

Hearing that Yan Jun was so demagoguery, he rode a horse to inspect the city defense, and when he saw his nephew Jurong, he couldn't help but say a few more words, "Rong'er, the so-called adversity sees the truth, and Bandang knows loyal ministers." At this autumn, I hope you will strictly defend the city and be loyal to our emperor. ”

Xian Rong admires this uncle in his heart, but when is it, he still has illusions about Yuan Benchu, we help Yuan Shao to defend to the death, once the city is broken, I am afraid that the trial family will be wiped out. Jurong respectfully sent Ju off Ju Pei, feeling incomprehensible about his uncle's foolishness, and saw the opportunity to shoot a letter out of the city.

Liu Ze was secretly happy when he saw Xianrong's letter, it seems that the wheel of history has not changed Xianrong's character. Historically, Cao Cao besieged Yecheng for a long time, wasn't it this judge who dedicated the city gate to be able to settle in Yecheng? Liu Ze personally wrote a reply to the letter for the trial of Rong, and the promised reward was absolutely fulfilled.

Seeing Liu Ze personally replying to the letter, Xian Rong was excited, discussed the days with his henchmen, and informed Yan Jun.

A hook moon hung obliquely in the air, and the north and west walls of Luoyang were suddenly attacked by the Yan army.

Xianrong was at the east gate, and he heard the fierce fighting in the north and west, and his heart was beating like a drum, pounding wildly. With a long exhale, adjusting his mentality, and seeing that the appointed hour was about to come, Xian Rong said softly: "Open the city gate." ”

Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, and Zhao Yun each led 10,000 horses, and when they saw the city gate open, they immediately waved their troops into the city. The three soldiers divided into three ways and fought towards the city gate, preparing to seize the city gate first.

When the judge saw the Yan army killed in the city, he was desperate, there was a traitor in the city, and he didn't know which general who defended the city and put the Yan army into the city, he was sad and indignant, and said secretly: "Once I find out, I must eat raw meat." ”
