057 Northwest War

On April 5, Jian Shuo faked the order of the Son of Heaven and ordered He Jin to lead the plain soldiers to Xiliang, and He Jin replied with Xuande's words. Jian Shuo made people ask Xuande again.

Xuande said: "The soldiers under the command of the reserve are all soldiers who have just been recruited, and they have neither armor nor weapons, so it is really difficult to take on a big task." ”

Jian Shuo was furious when he heard this. Seeing Liu Bei's request to crown Liu Xie as the king, he was even more angry.

Jian Shuo is a somewhat strategic. It's just that he was a little rash, and when he saw that Liu Bei had fallen to He Jin, he consulted with the ten permanent servants and said: "Liu Bei can get the title of marquis, all thanks to our strength, and now Liu Bei is attached to He Jin, and he really deserves to die." ”

He wanted to punish Xuande.

It's just that if a eunuch kills someone, he must first compile a crime, and then report it to the Son of Heaven, and finally he can punish the minister's crime. As for whether to die or not, there are still two theories. wanted to cure Liu Bei for the crime of pretending to be the emperor's uncle, but this nonsense Liu Bei bit to death because Jian Shuo said it, and Jian Shuo talked with Liu Bei secretly for a long time, but it was really unclear, and if he didn't mention this, it would be difficult to find other charges for a while.

Now, Liu Bei has handed over his name to He Jin's faction, even if he is a person from He Jin, the eunuch is not easy to frame.

Or, simply send assassins to kill.

At this time, Liu Bei had already hid in his own military camp, Luoyang was full of dangers, and only by staying in his own territory and taking his own people with him would Liu Bei feel safer. Dian Wei and dozens of guards accompanied him when he entered and left, and one or two assassins had no way to start.

April 7. The general He Jin ordered Liu Bei to go to the Luoyang arsenal, take out armor and weapons, strictly train the soldiers, and prepare to drive to Xiliang.

This is also Liu Bei and He Jin to discuss and make a gesture, lest others say that He Jin is a general but does not contribute to the country. Moreover, in case there is a change in Luoyang, his 5,000 men and horses will be of great use immediately.

This time, Liu Bei was no longer polite. First took 1,200 pairs of armored horses. and five thousand pairs of fine iron armor. All are selected among the arsenal of the best equipment.

At this time, everyone in Luoyang City was waiting for Emperor Han Ling to return to heaven.

No one paid attention to Liu Bei at all.

Five thousand pairs of armor were taken. After 1,200 pairs of armored horses, it can be said that Liu Bei's purpose of coming to Luoyang has been fully realized, and even exceeded. Now, just waiting to find an excuse, Liu Bei is ready to go home. It's just that it didn't get it for a while.

On April 11, He Jin sent people to recruit Liu Bei into the general's mansion for a banquet.

said that it was a banquet, but in fact, it was also a discussion, and at this time, the news that Emperor Han Ling was critically ill was flying all over the sky, and there was no need to hide it.

Even Huangfu Song and Dong Zhuo, who were fighting thousands of miles away, knew about it, and they still hid a yarn.

When Liu Bei took Dian Wei's guards, and when he arrived at the general He Jin's mansion, he saw Lu Zhi kneeling and sitting there, and secretly said in his heart, he couldn't think of He Jin, who even Lu Zhi had taken refuge in.

Of course, in Lu Zhi's opinion, he didn't take refuge in He Jin at all, he came here just to show that he supported He Jin, to be precise, the attitude of supporting the eldest son. However, although Lu Zhi's official position is not large, he is a famous person in the world and is respected at home. He sat down here, and the impact was terrible. It's like Shangshan Sihao came out of the mountain to assist the prince, and Emperor Gao immediately gave up the idea of abolishing it.

Therefore, as soon as Lu Zhi arrived, he was immediately introduced as a guest by He Jin.

In order to show that he respects his teacher, but also because Liu Bei is not used to kneeling. Therefore, Liu Bei saw Lu Zhi kneeling here, so he didn't sit, held the hilt of the sword with one hand, walked behind Lu Zhi, and stood by the sword.

Liu Bei's title at this time was the county marquis, which was higher than the titles of most of the people present, and everyone didn't dare to take their seats when they saw Liu Bei standing with a sword behind Lu Zhi. Lu Zhi asked Liu Bei to sit down, and Liu Bei knelt behind Lu Zhi and cursed secretly, Lao Tzu is not used to kneeling.

At this time, everyone was talking, Liu Bei listened there, only feeling that they were all avoiding the important and trivial, and no one dared to say anything. Liu Bei understood in his heart that these people were different from himself, and they were still in awe of the imperial power, so he naturally didn't dare to say more about how the emperor was going to die. I know the later history, so I have nothing to fear.

At this time, Liu Bei's heart was also very conflicted, on the one hand, he hoped that the world would be in chaos. Otherwise, I can only be honest and be too shou for a lifetime. On the other hand, he could not bear to bear the chaos in the world, causing the people of the world to be tragically warned and displaced. It's as if there are two villains in their heads, arguing with each other. I just thought about it, but I didn't know what to do, and in the end, I didn't know the point.

I went to see Lu Zhi again, only to see that Lu Zhi's face was not good-looking, Liu Bei hurriedly asked, "Teacher, but what are you worried about?" ”

In fact, this is a knowingly asked, Emperor Han Ling will hang up immediately, and it is normal for Lu Zhi to worry.

Who would have thought that Lu Zhi talked about the war in the northwest.

I only heard Lu Zhi say: "Last year, the kingdom led the Liangzhou rebels to attack Sanfu and besiege Chencang. His Majesty worshiped Emperor Fu Yizhen as the left general, and supervised the former general Dong Zhuo, each with 20,000 people to refuse. Lead the army to rescue Chen Cang. When the army arrived near Chencang County, Huangfu Yizhen ordered the troops to stand still. Dong Zhuo proposed to Huangfu Yizhen to take the initiative, saying: "Chen Cang is in danger, please save him quickly." ’”

Speaking of this, Lu Zhi paused for a moment, and Liu Bei said: "The so-called noble soldier is fast, and General Dong's words are in line with the art of war." ”

Of course Liu Bei knew about the next thing, he said this, first, to praise Lu Zhi, and second, he was actually showing favor to Dong Zhuo in the air, no matter how Dong Zhuo also mastered the imperial court for several months, and the fingers leaked out casually, which was enough for Liu Bei to eat. For example, if you hand over Jizhou Mu to yourself, Lao Tzu will definitely not give it to Yuan Shao anyway.

Lu Zhi glanced at Liu Bei, shook his head, and continued: "Huangfu Yizhen said: 'No. It is better to win a hundred battles than to surrender without a fight. Although Chen Cang is small, the city is well guarded, and it is not easy to pull out. Although the kingdom is strong, if it cannot attack Chen Cang, its people will be tired, tired and attacked, and the way to complete victory will be also, how will it be saved! ’。 Sure enough, the kingdom besieged Chencang City for more than 80 days without defeat, the army was exhausted, the supply was interrupted, and everyone was exhausted, so they began to relieve the siege and withdraw the army. Huangfu Yizhen waited for work at ease, and took the opportunity to lead the army to attack and break the rebels. ”

Liu Bei had no choice but to say: "General Huangfu, a famous general in the world, I can't do it." "After all, Huangfu Song is a general at the level of seventy-two generals in history, and it is normal that I can't compare to him.

"Seeing the defeat of the rebels, Huangfu Yizhen decided to march to pursue the rebels."

At this time, Liu Bei shook his head again, only to hear him say: "The so-called one husband is desperate, ten people are difficult to stop, not to mention the crowd of ten thousand armies." The Art of War: Don't chase after the poor, don't stop the teacher. General Huangfu is inevitably a little underestimated. ”

Lu Zhi said: "Dong Zhuo said the same thing. Huang Fuyi really thought: 'No. I don't hit before, and I avoid its sharpness; Hit it now, wait for it to decline; The tired teachers are not returned to the people; The people of the country are leaving, there is no fighting spirit, and the chaos is not poor. Then he attacked alone, so that Zhuo Wei refused, fought continuously, broke it, and beheaded more than 10,000 people. ”

"General Huangfu must hit every material, and his real name will be also." Liu Bei sighed in admiration.

I felt in my heart, how can this Huangfu Song be a bit like Qi Jiguang and Qi Shaobao, everything has to be contrary to the common sense in the art of war.

Perhaps, this kind of celebrity is just unusual.

It's just that the rebels have been defeated, which is a good thing, why is Lu Zhi's face so ugly. Xuande was just about to ask, and Lu Zhi said: "The Son of Heaven issued an edict to recruit Dong Zhuo as the Shaofu, but Zhuo refused to give in, and he would be a military officer before going to the book." ”

Dong Zhuo said: "The generals Huang Zhongyi Cong and Qin Hu soldiers all said: 'The upright is not finished, the gift is cut off, and the wife is hungry and cold. 'Pull the chariot of the courtiers, so that it will not work. Qiang Hu intestinal dog, the minister can not be forbidden, the general will be comforted, increase the difference and repeat. "The imperial court can't control it, and I'm quite worried.

The Son of Heaven also took Zhuo as the state pastor, and also appointed the soldiers to belong to the emperor Fu Song. Zhuo Fu said: "The ministers have been in charge for ten years, the size of the soldiers, the long-term friendship, the grace of the ministers, the joy of fighting for the country, the beggar state, and the service of the border." "The Son of Heaven gave in, Zhuo was not edicted, and selected 5,000 horsemen to cross from Hejin. So he stationed troops in Hedong to observe the changes of time.

Hearing this, Liu Bei was slightly stunned and asked, "Teacher, does Dong Zhuo really only have five thousand cavalry?" ”

Lu Zhi was a little strange, but he still replied: "Yes, Dong Zhuo now led 5,000 cavalry to garrison Hedong, and the rest of the soldiers and horses were handed over to Huangfu Yizhen. ”

Liu Bei's face changed violently, this is not scientific.

Dong Zhuo was able to abolish the Son of Heaven later, and the power was tilted to one side, how could there be only 5,000 cavalry. There were more than 5,000 cavalry and the men and horses he brought, and Liu Bei never felt that he could control the imperial court with these thousands of people.

Later, people said that Dong Zhuo had many soldiers and horses, not to mention tens of thousands, a little more than 100,000, and more, such as the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, it was all about 200,000, and there were 5,000 people in Dong Zhuo's hands.

How is this possible.

However, there is no way for Lu Zhi to deceive himself on this issue.

Moreover, it is impossible for Dong Zhuo to recruit more soldiers and horses without concealing the imperial court, or recruiting 300 or 500 more people, but it is impossible to do more. Huangfu Song watched from the side, he really thought that people were air.

Dong Zhuo led 20,000 people to fight. After the battle, he handed over 15,000 to Huangfu Song, and then he took 5,000 people to take office in Bingzhou, and then he didn't leave halfway through, garrisoning Hedong, which couldn't hide from anyone at all.

According to Liu Bei's memory, after Dong Zhuo entered Beijing, he thought that his troops were too small, and he could not ride more than 3,000 horses, which was difficult to convince the public, so he played a trick. Let the soldiers sneak out of the city at night, and the next day, enter the city with great fanfare, which lasts for four or five days. As a result, the people in Luoyang thought that Dong Zhuo had a lot of Liangzhou soldiers, and they couldn't even count them, and everyone was terrified.

If this is the case, Dong Zhuo only has 5,000 soldiers, he plays a fart trick, there are 5,000 people in total, you bring 3,000, no matter how you toss it, there will be 5,000 people, and there are more than 30,000 soldiers and horses here in Luoyang, which can't scare anyone at all. Why did Yuan Shao want to escape, just recruit some people, such as Ding Yuan, and he could be a fat man.

However, Dong Zhuo, in a short period of time, abolished the Son of Heaven and took control of the imperial court, and the soldiers and horses in Luoyang City also fell to Dong Zhuo. Those who disagreed with Dong Zhuo, such as Ding Yuan, were also cut off by Lu Bu. If Dong Zhuo's soldiers and horses are only 5,000 and they can't have an advantage, then what kind of person, or rather, what forces make Lu Bu and the others fall to Dong Zhuo.

Thinking of this, Liu Bei broke out in a cold sweat. It seems that the real history is far more complicated than you know.

Could it be that among Lao Tzu's people, there is also a Lu Bu, who was also bribed and wanted to cut himself and take refuge in Dong Zhuo.

It's a real threat.

No, Luoyang is a hellish place, the water is too deep! I'd better go home early.

This chapter is a bit difficult to write, a lot of historical materials have been forgotten, and I have to read it again. It's been pretty much the same for the last few verses.
