Chapter 517: The Son of Heaven Absconds (I)
"Heaven will not die, my Han family also!" Liu Xie couldn't help but be secretly happy when he heard this, and asked Zhong Xuan anxiously: "In the past two days, Dong Min's minions have increased their precautions, and I also noticed that the situation has changed, but I didn't expect that Dong Min's traitor was seriously injured. But now it is not easy to escape from this Niyang City, does Aiqing have a plan? ”
When Zhong Xuan heard this, a pair of bright eyes flashed with a burst of fine light, and then said, "Your Majesty, don't worry too much. Wechen has already had a plan, and Wechen has been looking for someone to find a boy who is seven points similar to Majesty, and when it comes to the third watch tonight, Wechen will arrange manpower, first let Majesty Xià exchange with the young man, and then so on. ”
Zhong Xuan made a plan on the fast track. When Liu Xie heard this, he couldn't help but change color slightly, and said: "Many of these people are remnants of the Dong family, but if they have other different intentions, what can they do?" ”
"Your Majesty can rest assured. These people have been carefully observed. Now that the collapse of the Dong clan is imminent, these people have long been willing to find another way out, and now that there is a great opportunity in front of them, how can they let it go? I also ask Your Majesty to forgive Weichen for his courage, in order to be able to move them, Weichen promised without authorization that after the matter is completed, His Majesty Xià will be rewarded as a marquis. Please also ask for forgiveness. Zhong Xuan said, and hurriedly bowed his head and bowed.
It is said that this Zhong Xuan is not an ordinary person, but if Ma Zongheng is here, he will definitely be surprised by the appearance of this person, and he will try his best to draw him to his side. Speaking of which, this Zhong Xuan was Cao Wei's Xiangguo, Taiwei, and Taifu, and he can be said to be powerful in the world. Moreover, he is extremely good at debating and reasoning, and his eloquence is outstanding. It is said that in history, Ma Teng, Han Sui and other princes lived in Xiliang. Cao Cao was very worried about this, and upon Xun Yu's recommendation, he appointed Zhong Xuan as the commander of the lieutenant in the middle of the service, and supervised all the people of Xiliang, entrusted him with the affairs of the rear, and specially granted him the power not to be bound by the system. After Zhong Xuan arrived in Chang'an, he sent a letter to Ma Teng, Han Sui and others, stating the pros and cons for them, and Ma Teng and Han Sui were both convinced, and they both sent a son to the court as a hostage.
At the same time, Cao Cao was at odds with Yuan Shao at Guandu, and Cao Cao was repeatedly restrained by Yuan Shao's army because he did not have the horses in the army to run out of horses and the army lacked cavalry to attack. At that time, the Central Plains had already experienced a series of wars, and all counties and counties were extremely short of horses. Only in the hands of some nobles still have horses. Of course, given the situation at the time, these horses were used by those nobles to save their lives and take refuge. After all, at that time, Cao Cao was in danger in the battle of Guandu, and Yuan Shao had a large number of soldiers, once Cao Cao was defeated, some families who had had a holiday with Yuan Shao naturally had to flee immediately. Therefore, it is extremely difficult to remove the horses from them. After Zhong Shao learned about it, he traveled to the major families, and knew the pros and cons, explaining that Cao Cao was an immortal hero, and Yuan Shao was just a reckless man who relied on his own identity and was arrogant and arrogant, and he would soon be defeated by Cao Cao. It also shows that everyone has surrendered to Cao Cao, if Yuan Shao defeats Cao Cao, after he enters the Central Plains, he will settle accounts after the autumn, he is afraid that even if he escapes to the ends of the earth, it will be useless, not to mention that their family has a big business, and it will be extremely sad and resentful to move once. When everyone heard about it, they gave it to their families.
As a result, Zhong Miao quickly raised enough 2,000 BMW horses and sent them to the front line. After Cao Cao obtained these two thousand horse-wrenching horses, he soon attacked Yuan Shao's army by surprise, which severely damaged the spirit of Yuan Shao's army, and at the same time aroused the morale of Cao's army, laying a great foundation for the fire to burn the nest and break Yuan's army in the near future.
Later, Cao Cao personally wrote a letter to Zhong Xuan, saying that the horses he sent were very urgent for the troops. There is also the pacification of Xiliang, so that the imperial court has no worries about the west, which is Zhong Xuan's merits. He also compared the example of Xiao Hezhen guarding the pass, with sufficient grain and grass, so that the army won and the Han army was finally able to stabilize the world, compared with Zhong Xuan's contributions. From this, it can be seen that Zhong Xuan's talent is high.
And here I have to say that Zhong Xuan's youngest son is Zhong Hui, the general of Zhenxi who is almost in power in the post-Three Kingdoms era, and it is precisely Zhong Hui and Deng Ai who joined forces to break the Shu Kingdom. After the annihilation of Shu, Zhong Hui led the Shu State alone, and even joined forces with the general Jiang Wei to oppose Wei, but in the end, he was betrayed by his subordinates and died in a mutiny among his subordinates.
didn't say much, but said that Zhong Xuan bowed and confessed, Liu Xie hurriedly supported him, and said: "Aiqing has done her best for the country, this time it is also for a reason, and it was only overpassed, how can I blame you?" Tonight, I still need to rely on Aiqing to transfer you behind the scenes, if the big thing is done, I will never let Aiqing down! ”
Zhong Xuan listened to the order, couldn't help but be shocked, grateful, and said: "My emperor's grace is vast, and Weichen is here to thank the emperor first!" ”
So, it was the third watch of the night. Niyang City was still lifeless, and the atmosphere was depressing. Suddenly, the sound of killing broke out in the county hall, and the guards around heard that someone had rebelled, and hurriedly looked at the place where the sound came from.
At the same time, in the east courtyard of the county capital, there was also a group of people disguised as guards, rushing to the back door.
"Stop!! The traitors were about to rebel in the west courtyard, and they couldn't wait to rescue them, so why did they go to the back door!? Suddenly, there was a shout from behind. The group immediately stopped. One of them, who was about to Zhong Xuan, couldn't help but change color slightly, and hurriedly cast a look at one person. The man understood, immediately turned around, and walked out of the crowd.
That person seemed to have a very high status, and when the commander of the group of people who was chasing from behind saw it, he couldn't help but change color, and hurriedly arched his hand: "It turns out that General Wang Wei, the little one has eyes and no beads, please don't blame General Wang!" ”
"Hmph, it turned out to be Chen Zhong's people! Just now I found that some people fled through the back door, and were about to be pursued, which was suddenly stopped by you, if the thieves fled, it would be fine, but if it is implicated today, you can afford it!? Wang Wei shouted coldly, his momentum was compelling. Chen Zhong's subordinates didn't dare to offend, and hurriedly admitted their mistakes.
In other words, now in Niyang City, Wang and Chen are the masters. This Wang Wei was persuaded by Zhong Xuan not long ago and decided to take refuge in the Han family. And that Chen Zhong is a complete Dong diehard. Before the incident, Wang Wei explained that if things went smoothly and were not discovered by Chen Zhong, it would be good. Otherwise, a fierce battle will inevitably be avoided.
"Hmph, Chen Zhong has also begun to doubt me in the past two days, I don't know if this person will report to Chen Zhong, it's better to do my best now!" Wang Wei thought about it, so he ignored the young general, and hurried back to the crowd, looking at the back door quickly.
At this moment, there was a sudden burst of shouts and shouts, only to hear everyone shouting that the Son of Heaven was taken to the main gate. Chen Zhong's deployment couldn't help but change color when he heard it, and hurriedly chased away.
At the time of the fourth watch, Wang Wei and a group of people finally came to the south gate. Wang Wei's subordinates were waiting for a long time, and when they saw Wang Wei, they hurriedly knelt down to greet each other, but instead of greeting Wang Wei, they shouted in unison.
"Long live my emperor, long live, long live!"
I saw that from behind Wang Wei, a slightly short boy of about fifteen or sixteen years old walked out, and saw that his face was like a crown of jade, quite majestic, and at a glance, he knew that he was from a rich and noble family, and it was actually Liu Xie!
"Rise up quickly, all loyal soldiers, and I will remember today's kindness." Liu Xie's face froze, but he didn't see joy or anger, but he had a bit of a king's color. Wang Wei and his subordinates couldn't help but secretly marvel when they saw it.
At this moment, the sound of killing in the east was loud, Liu Xie couldn't help but change color, shook his head and said: "This time, I am fortunate to rely on General Huangpu and other martyrs who are loyal to the country, otherwise how could I escape from this Niyang City so lightly." It's a pity that I'm too incompetent, I'm afraid I'm going to take their lives. ”
"Your Majesty doesn't have to blame yourself, it is a blessing for the minister to be able to die for the country. But if in the future, when His Majesty needs Weichen to die, Weichen will never give up! Zhong Xuan walked out quickly, knelt on the ground, and said in shock. Liu Xie was very grateful when he heard this.
However, it was said that under the east gate, Huangpu Jianshou led the Huangpu people and the old department of the Huangpu family, and protected a young man who was about fifteen years old and wore a dragon robe to kill under the east gate. At this time, only the sound of killing was heard on the east gate, and countless ambushes surged out, and a burly general wearing black armor immediately appeared in front of everyone.
"Huangpu Jianshou, I have long known that your Huangpu family is pretending to be sincere, so I have already sent someone to monitor it!! This time you rebelled first, so don't blame me for being ruthless!! The black armor general said with a grim face.
But I saw that among the group of people under the city gate, a young general who was about twenty-five or six years old, with sword eyebrows and starry eyes, was the eldest son of the former general Huang Pu Song - Huang Pu Jianshou.
However, it is said that Huang Pu Song is from the North, so the Huang Pu family is the largest famous family in the North. When Dong Min came to the north, he received strong support from the Huangpu family. But Dong Min also knew that the Huangpu family had always been loyal to the Han family, and this time he was out on the expedition, so he specially reminded Chen Zhong that he must pay attention to the fact that the Huangpu family would take the opportunity to rebel.
"Chen Zhong, you don't have to talk nonsense, the Dong family's qi is exhausted, and now the Han family is the time to employ people, but if you are willing to abandon the darkness and turn to the light, there is still a way to live, otherwise you will definitely die!!" Huang Pu Jianshou hissed loudly, but he also had a bit of majesty from his father.
When Chen Zhong heard this, his face suddenly darkened, and he shouted coldly: "Ungrateful dog thief, if it wasn't for the ancestor to commemorate the kindness of your deceased father, how could you keep the family business with your child!?" Huang Pu Jianshou, if you still have a little conscience, you can be arrested quickly. In this case, I can leave you with a whole corpse!! ”
"Humph!! The Tao is different, not conspiratory!! There is still a cadre of soldiers in the Huangpu family who listened to the order and broke through the city gate for me, even if my Huangpu Jianshou died, he had to protect His Majesty and escape from this muddy city!! Huang Pu Jianshou shouted, and he rushed to the city gate with a treasure knife in his hand. His clansmen and soldiers immediately became excited and pounced one after another.
Chen Zhong was afraid of injuring the Son of Heaven by mistake, so he didn't dare to order the crossbowmen to shoot arrows, and now he saw that Huang Pu Jianshou wanted to break through the city gate, how dare he slack off, and immediately led the troops to kill him from the city gate.
So the two sides quickly mixed up, at first both sides were afraid of the Son of Heaven, and the fight was not fierce, but as the battle became more and more fierce later. Under Chen Zhong's deployment and offensive, Huang Pu Jianshou's men and horses did not care about protecting the Son of Heaven, and rushed to fight.
At this moment, there were sudden shouts in the city, but many people were seen rushing to kill. It turned out that Zhong Xuan had secretly arranged for the morning, united some ruffians and prestigious celebrities in the city, and secretly gathered a lot of people, and they made an event tonight.
"Damn!! The people in the city are also in chaos!! Who is operating in the dark~!? And where did Wang Wei go, now that Niyang City is in danger, why hasn't it appeared for a long time!! Seeing this, Chen Zhong, who was commanding, couldn't help but change his complexion and shouted.
I'm afraid Chen Zhong never thought that Zhong Xuan, who usually acts in a low-key manner, would have such a skill, and now his mind was confused, and he didn't know what to do, when suddenly there was a loud roar, which shook the entire city gate.
