Chapter 63:-for-tat
The soldiers and horses under the Captain Si Li's Mansion were suddenly transferred back to Luoyang, and at the same time, the three guards of the brigade began to appear near the West Garden.
"Brother Benchu, why is there two battalions missing in this Chinese army?" Ye Zhao checked the Eighth School accompanied by Qian Shuo, and when he walked to Yuan Shao's camp, he suddenly stopped and asked Yuan Shao.
"What do you mean by this?" Yuan Shao looked at Ye Zhao, his eyes flashing with coldness.
"The new army directly belongs to His Majesty, and no one is allowed to transfer the new army without His Majesty's order. Ye Zhao looked at Qian Shuo.
Supporting Xiahou Lan, some can't catch up, whether Zhao Yun can catch up, Ye Zhao is not sure, but at this moment, his every move is watched, instead of trying to send troops to save Xiahou Lan, it is better to draw salary from the bottom of the kettle, Yuan Shao's importance to the Yuan family is self-evident, and in the new army, the Chinese army led by Yuan Shao accounts for the two schools, whether it is the Yuan family or the Luoyang scholars, it is all the soldiers and horses they can rely on in Luoyang.
"Captain Yuan, there is neither the tiger talisman of the general, nor the order of His Majesty, who allowed you to transfer troops and horses privately?" Qian Shuo turned his head to look at Yuan Shao, his eyes showing a cold light.
"Ben Jiang just sensed that someone was trying to do something wrong with Luoyang, and sent people to investigate." Yuan Shao looked at Ye Zhao indifferently: "Although the position of the Marquis of Yu Pavilion is high, he can't control the general, right?" This Eighth School of the West Garden is His Majesty's personal soldier, as for you, ......"
Yuan Shao looked at Qian Shuo and said coldly: "You are just a eunuch, dare to be presumptuous!?" ”
"This, it is His Majesty who gave the Tiger Talisman, and when necessary, I should be in charge of the soldiers of the Eighth School!" Ye Zhao glanced at Qian Shuo, although he received the post of military captain, but the identity of the eunuch has always been difficult to convince the public, otherwise, if Ye Zhao governs the army, even if Yuan Shao is noble, he will not have the courage to say this in front of the main general.
"You ......" Looking at the tiger talisman in Ye Zhao's hand, Yuan Shao's face changed, Liu Hong actually gave this kind of thing to Ye Zhao, how much does the Son of Heaven trust this person?
"Take it, put it in prison, and after the whereabouts of the two battalions of new troops are clarified, it will be handed over to Your Majesty!" Ye Zhao snorted coldly, and immediately a soldier stepped forward and wanted to bind Yuan Shao.
"Presumptuous!" Yuan Shao pushed away the soldiers who stepped forward.
"You're going to disobey?" Ye Zhao pressed the sword with one hand and looked at Yuan Shao, his eyes full of murderous intent.
Yuan Shao's chest was suffocated, and his gaze shrank when he looked at Ye Zhao, if it was someone else, he was not afraid, but this Ye Zhao, he was really not sure if the other party would directly draw his sword and cut people, although his martial arts were not bad, but he was not Sun Jian's opponent, this person in front of him did not look burly, in the past, he was a figure who forced Sun Jian to retreat with three swords, at least in this hand-to-hand combat, Yuan Shao was not even sure to take Ye Zhao's sword.
"General Ben will go by himself!" After a moment of confrontation, Yuan Shao's momentum weakened, he snorted coldly, turned around and left, and took advantage of the moment to turn around, wiping away the beads of sweat oozing from the corners of his forehead.
Looking at the generals who were talking around him, Yuan Shao's face was hot, today's incident was definitely the biggest shame in his life.
"Thank you." Ye Zhao handed back the tiger talisman to Qian Shuo in the stunned eyes of the generals, it turned out that this tiger talisman was not given by Liu Hong at all, but Ye Zhao borrowed it from Qian Shuo, even if Liu Hong believed him again, it was impossible to hand over the new army that had been pulled up to Ye Zhao.
"Why should the Marquis of Yu Pavilion be polite, it's just that this Yuan Shao ......" Qian Shuo looked at Ye Zhao, a little unsure of what to do with Yuan Shao.
"Shut it up first, we have enough reasons, even Yuan Kui can't help it." Ye Zhao whispered to Qian Shuo: "Before letting him out, let him suffer some hardships first." ”
"Suffering?" Qian Shuo looked at Ye Zhao: "I'm afraid that the prison guards won't dare to embarrass him, and besides, if he is tortured, I'm afraid it will be ......."
Some words, Qian Shuo is not easy to say, if it is a peaceful and prosperous era, no matter how big the family is, he has to lie down in front of the imperial power, even if it is Yuan Shao's identity, a jailer is enough to toss him to death, but now this world has nothing to do with the peaceful and prosperous era, the imperial power is sluggish, the country is turbulent, and the family has faintly lost control.
"No punishment, I'm not going to ask anything from his mouth, I'll send two people over later, and don't let him sleep until he gets out of prison!" Ye Zhao said with a smile.
Not allowed to sleep?
Qian Shuo glanced at Ye Zhao blankly, didn't ask much, nodded and said: "In this case, the Pavilion Marquis can send people later, and I will arrange for them to go, there are still some vulgar things in the palace, and they can't stay for a long time, so I will leave." ”
"Shuo Gong walks slowly." Ye Zhao nodded, and did not stay in the West Garden, after saying hello to Cao Cao and Gao Tanglong, he rode away, and now that Liu Hong is not dead, Luoyang has begun to permeate a depressing atmosphere, since there is no way to send people away, then we must find a way to break the situation of the family's blockade.
"Lord, shall we immediately send troops to save Xiahoulan?" On the way, Guan Hai and Dian Wei looked at Ye Zhaodao.
"I can't move lightly at this moment, I have ordered Fang Yue and Ji Ling to respond, if I can save it, I will definitely be able to save it, if I can't, it will be too late to send troops at this moment." Ye Zhao rode his horse towards Luoyang and said.
"So where do you go now?" Guan Hai said blankly.
"General's Mansion!" After Ye Zhao finished speaking, he urged the horse to gallop again.
……
Cheng Gao, also known as the Tiger Prison, is the largest checkpoint around Luoyang City, when Zhao Yun arrived with his relatives, Cheng Gao was already under martial law.
"I am the overseer of the army under the captain of the school, and I am ordered to go on business, and I will open the city and let me go quickly!" Zhao Yun hung a token on the shaft of the arrow, and without waiting for the general on the city wall to speak, an arrow shot out like a meteor catching the moon, and the guard was about to take a closer look, when an afterimage crossed the corner of his eye, followed by a strong wind blowing in his ears, which startled him.
"Tuk~"
There was a muffled sound, and when the guard looked back, he saw a sharp arrow three inches away from his ear, stuck upside down on the tower, and the tail of the arrow was still trembling.
Subconsciously shrunk his head, cold sweat unconsciously seeped down his forehead, if this arrow deviated by half a minute, I am afraid that at this moment, his head was directly penetrated.
Carefully took off the token from the arrow shaft, and after confirming that it was the token of the Lieutenant Department of the Division, he didn't say much, and waved his hand directly: "Release!" ”
"General, didn't the Yuan Mansion send someone to come this morning......" The adjutant general leaned over to the guard and said in a low voice.
"That's their business." The guard secretly scolded his mother in his heart, this immortal fights, and has a Mao relationship with him, but he is caught in the middle, the Yuan family is not easy to mess with, so the Hou Tinghou is easy to mess with?
"Hurry up and open the city for me!" Seeing that the deputy general did not move, the guard kicked him angrily, he didn't want to offend the Yuan family, he didn't dare to offend this Yu Tinghou.
"Whoa!" When the adjutant general heard this, he had to order the city gate to be opened.
Zhao Yun didn't care about being polite with the other party, seeing that the city gate was open, he directly led the people and horses through the city, according to the route, Xiahou Lan should cross the river from the Aocang area, he could only lead people to move forward in the direction of Aocang.
"General, there is a sound of fighting!" After walking for a short time, he heard a burst of fighting in front of him, and a relative hurriedly looked at Zhao Yun.
Zhao Yun naturally heard it, and hurriedly rode his horse up to a high ground to look in the direction where the sound of fighting came, and saw two groups of men and horses fighting back and forth in the wilderness, and corpses were poured all around, and the pungent smell of blood came to his face.
"Wait until you immediately tie the horse's tail to the branches, and run back and forth, quickly!" After giving an order to the relatives, Zhao Yun took the bow down from his back, and the person was already rushing out like an arrow from the string, just the kung fu of tea, which was already close to the battlefield.
It's close, but Zhao Yun has already distinguished the side with few people, it is his own soldiers and horses, there is already a tendency to collapse, Xiahou Lan is not Ye Zhao after all, he is at a disadvantage, but he does not have the ability to win more with less, at this moment, he is just surrounded by the remnants of the soldiers and horses, and a spear in his hand is like a splash of wind, each shot is full of power, it looks powerful, but Zhao Yun can see that Xiahoulan is on the verge of the limit, every shot is almost exhausted, it seems to be full of strength, but in fact, it has lost its rules.
Beside him, there were two generals, each of whom was not weak in martial arts, and it seemed that he saw Xiahoulan's state, and did not attack, but fought with Xiahoulan, while holding him back, on the other hand, he let the soldiers continue to besiege Xiahoulan's soldiers.
"Traitor, dare to be arrogant!" Zhao Yun directly put the two arrow clusters on the string, exhaled and made a sound, and the two arrow clusters slashed through the air with two afterimages, and with a low whistling sound, they had reached the front of the two in the blink of an eye.
It was also the second general who had spare strength at the moment, and he could hear the sound of breaking through the air, and hurriedly dodged and blocked.
Zhang Nan shook his head to avoid the cluster of arrows, but Jiao Touch wanted to block and block a little, but the cluster of arrows avoided his chest and pierced into his shoulder socket, and he couldn't help screaming in pain, Xia Houlan, who was relieved on the side, saw this, shouted violently, and stabbed into Jiao Touch's heart.
Jiao let out a cry of pain, and was picked off the horse by Xia Houlan.
Zhang Nan saw that the thieves were coming to reinforce the soldiers, so he hurriedly lowered his body, lay on the horse's back and rode into his own soldiers and horses, before turning his head to look.
In front of the three armies, Zhao Yun did not enter, but immediately shouted with the chaotic army: "I am Zhao Yun under the tent of the Marquis of Yuting, and you and others attacked the family of the imperial court without authorization, which is like a rebellion, and now the army has arrived, and I will not surrender!" ”
When Zhang Nan heard this, he found that behind Zhao Yun, there was smoke and dust all over the sky, and a black line loomed in the smoke and dust, and he couldn't help but be shocked in his heart, if Ye Zhao came to help in person, he couldn't afford to provoke the tired soldiers who had fought with Xiahou Lan all night, so he hurriedly asked people to pick up the body of Jiao Touch, and turned the horse away.
Seeing this, Xiahou Lan wanted to chase after her, but was stopped by Zhao Yun, who had caught up, and said in a low voice: "This is a bluff, Tinghou reinforcements, it has not passed the tiger prison at this moment, don't chase it again!" ”
Xia Houlan was afraid for a while when she heard this, but Zhao Yun was bold, and she took the lead and suppressed these people first, otherwise, if there is a vertex of timidity, I am afraid that I will immediately see through it, turned my head to look at the place filled with smoke and dust, and said suspiciously: "That's ......"
"Suspicious soldiers!" Zhao Yun said with a smile.
"Yours!" Xiahou Lan weakly gave Zhao Yun a punch, turned over and dismounted, took off the water bladder from the horse's back, and poured it up fiercely with a tilt of his neck.
Seeing this, Zhao Yun also beckoned his relatives to come over and help Xiahou Lan count the battle damage.
