Chapter 64: Two Tigers Compete for Food

In the land of right and wrong, Zhao Yun didn't dare to stay longer, for fear that Zhang Nan would go and return, and see through their reality, after Xiahoulan rested for a while, he took Xiahoulan out of the battlefield and found a hidden place to rest.

Along the way, Zhao Yun also learned the whole story from Xiahou Lan.

But after Xiahoulan arrived at the Tiger Prison yesterday, just after the Tiger Prison, the Tiger Prison Pass was under martial law and closed the city gate, and then Zhang Nan and Jiao Touch led the men and horses to kill, even if Xiahou Lan had already prepared, he didn't expect that the other party would be rampant enough to do it directly outside the Tiger Prison Pass, and wanted to hide in the Tiger Prison Pass to avoid the edge, but the Tiger Prison guard refused to let him enter the pass, in desperation, Xiahou Lan had to fight, but he was outnumbered, plus there were some servants and maids in the army who had no combat power, so they could only fight and retreat, all the way to Aocang, I hope to be able to get the support of Shogun Okura.

It's a pity that the two sides chased and fought all night, and there were no reinforcements from Aocang, but the men and horses brought by Xiahoulan suffered heavy losses, and the servants and slaves who were used as bait were not left to be killed, and these people were even more ruthless to these defenseless people than when they were fighting.

"Zilong, why are you here?" Xiahou Lan looked at Zhao Yun and wondered.

"The plan has changed, there is a problem in Luoyang, the lord ordered me to hand over my family to the two generals Ji Ling and Fang Yue, and come to rescue you first, and the two generals Ji Ling and Fang Yue should be able to arrive later." Zhao Yun sighed, the intrigue in Luoyang City made him bored, if it weren't for Ye Zhao here, he really didn't want to stay in Luoyang, and after speaking, he looked at Xiahou Lan and said, "It's here, come back to Luoyang with me." ”

When Xia Houlan heard this, she was silent.

"Xiaolan?" Zhao Yun looked at Xia Houlan suspiciously.

"Zilong, go back." Xiahou Lan smiled bitterly: "Lan has the trust of the lord, and he has no face to face the lord at the moment, the lord ordered me to go to Huai County, ready to respond, Lan is ready to go to Huai County, help the lord train a team of men and horses, in case of emergency, and also let the lord have a way out." ”

When Zhao Yun heard this, he frowned and looked at Xiahou Lan and said: "This battle is not your fault, the enemy is outnumbered, and there are women and children who are dragged down, it is rare that you can fight hard with the thief army all night without defeat." ”

"But after all, I lost." Xiahou Lan shook his head and looked at Zhao Yundao: "Zilong rest assured, I still want to help the lord, Huaixian is also the lord's hometown, Lan is also going to help the lord, Zilong will go back first, and give the lord the meaning of Minglan, if the lord still wants to recall me, you can order someone to go to Huaixian to pass the order, Lan Ding can rush back at any time, in Luoyang City, I can see it, the lord is dedicated to assisting His Majesty and helping the Han, but unfortunately those people don't want the lord to stay in Luoyang, Zilong goes back this time, be very careful, these scholars are too rampant! ”

When Zhao Yun heard this, he nodded silently, hugged Xiahoulan, and left, Xiahoulan only took his relatives with him, and the remaining remnants dragged Zhao Yun back to Luoyang and handed them over to Ye Zhao.

When Zhao Yun rushed back to Chenggao, he met Ji Ling and Fang Yue who also arrived in Chenggao, and scared the Chenggao guard so much that he didn't dare to speak, Zhao Yun met with the two and told them about the matter, and then the two withdrew their troops and returned to Luoyang.

……

Luoyang, He Jin outside the house.

"Lord, this He Jin is too much to see!" He Man looked at the closed door of the mansion, his face was ugly, Ye Zhao came to see him in person, and he actually ate a closed door, but Ye Zhao is also a minister of Jiuqing, and he is a concubine, speaking of which, and He Jin are now considered to be relatives of the emperor, even if it is out of courtesy, He Jin should welcome Ye Zhao in, but He Jin directly gave Ye Zhao a closed door, which is more than a slap in the face.

Ye Zhao looked at the closed door of He Jin's mansion, his face was silent, he took a deep breath and said, "Go home!" ”

Although Dian Wei and He Man were unwilling, in Luoyang City, if they directly attacked the door of He Jin's mansion, He Jin would definitely have a reason to shoot them into a sieve, didn't he see the guards on the wall of He Mansion, a person looking at the guards here.

Just when the group walked out of the range of He Mansion, they saw a general blocking Ye Zhao's way, this person's appearance was somewhat similar to He Jin, Ye Zhao saw this person, and bowed his head slightly: "It turned out to be the general of the chariot cavalry." ”

The person who came was He Jin's brother, He Miao.

"The Marquis of Yu Pavilion is polite." He Miao saluted Ye Zhao, looked left and right, and said, "Can you talk about it?" ”

After Ye Zhao was silent for a moment, he nodded and said, "Please!" ”

He Fuzhong, until the door came to inform He Jin that Ye Zhao had left, He Jin frowned and looked at Yuan Kui on the side and said: "Taifu, no matter how arrogant Ye Zhao is, he and I don't have the slightest conflict of interest, this time just because of Taifu's words, He Mou turned him away, he has already offended him, I hope this time, Taifu Mo will play those tricks with me again." ”

"No conflict of interest?" Yuan Kui shook his head when he heard this, and laughed: "Sui Gao is still so naΓ―ve. ”

"What do you mean by this?" He Jin frowned and looked at Yuan Kuidao.

Yuan Kui didn't speak, just shook his head, and Wang Yunweiwei beside him smiled, and saluted He Jin: "The general said this, presumably because he thinks that if His Majesty dies, then Ye Zhao will definitely support Prince Wei to ascend the throne, right?" ”

"Of course." He Jin nodded, but his tone was not firm, otherwise he would not have had to turn Ye Zhao away.

"Why should the general deceive himself?" Wang Yun sneered and said: "That Ye Zhao, who is the favored minister of the Son of Heaven, does not deny that he used to be friendly with Prince Bian, but now it seems that he was friendly to Prince Bian, just to get close to the princess, the general thinks about it carefully, since Ye Zhao became the captain of the horse, has he ever been friendly with Prince Bian?" ”

"This ......" He Jin was stunned when he heard this, after Ye Zhao drove back to the palace after saving himself, he rarely visited Liu Wei again, but Liu Wei had a good impression of Ye Zhao.

"If before His Majesty's death, Prince Xie's edict succeeds to the throne, does the general think that Ye Zhaoke will continue to support Prince Bian?" Wang Yun asked again.

He Jin was speechless, today's Ye Zhao is indeed a loyal minister of the Han Dynasty, if Liu Hong edicts Liu Xie as the emperor, Ye Zhao is really likely to support Liu Xie.

"In fact, no matter which of the two princes is the emperor after His Majesty's death, it has nothing to do with Ye Xiuming, he is a loyal minister of His Majesty, and he holds the military power of Luoyang, as long as he gives an order to block Luoyang City, it is the general who holds the power of the world's soldiers and horses, and in this Luoyang City, it is still the fish and meat on Ye Zhao's chopping board."

Looking at He Jin's face, Wang Yun smiled and continued: "If the prince is the emperor, everyone will be happy, the general is the uncle of the prince, and what is the support in the palace, then Ye Zhao will not dare to take the general, but if the prince is the emperor, how should the general deal with himself?" ”

When He Jin heard this, he was silent, this was undoubtedly the last thing he wanted to see.

Wang Yun said with a smile: "If Prince Xie succeeds to the throne, he does not have such a backer as a general in Luoyang, he can only rely on Ye Zhao, so he will be closer to Ye Xiuming, and the general will be at peace one day, Prince Xie will not be at peace, and will definitely work with Ye Zhao to get rid of the general first, and then take away the general's military power, at that time, there will be both soldiers and horses in Luoyang City, and the general's military power, at that time, I am afraid that the position of the general should also change hands!" ”

"He dares!" When He Jin heard this, he couldn't help but say angrily.

"That Ye Xiuming was in the army, dissatisfied with the distribution of Yizhen, and openly threatened General Yizhen with crossbow arrows, at that time he was only a small captain, so rampant, if he was allowed to be in a high position, and then held a heavy army, the general said, does he dare?" Wang Yun continued to follow the good path.

He Jin frowned when he heard this, looked at Yuan Kui and said, "What is the matter with Taifu, you might as well say it directly." ”

Yuan Kui sighed and said: "The old man watched the stars at night last night, and saw that the Ziwei Emperor Star was dim, bright and uncertain, but on the side of the Emperor Star, there was a demon star dazzling!" ”

"......" He Jin looked at Yuan Kui, with a confused expression, okay, just talk about things, what are you doing with the astrological signs?

"According to the astrological speculation, the day of His Majesty's death is probably tonight!" Yuan Kui looked at He Jin and smiled.

"Do you want to ......" He Jin was shocked when he heard this, suddenly got up, pointed at Yuan Kui, was speechless for a while, and then whispered for a while: "Taifu knows what he is doing?" ”

"The old man didn't do anything." Yuan Kui smiled.

The devil believes in you!

He Jin snorted coldly, if someone hadn't made a move, how could Yuan Kui have calculated the emperor's death date so accurately.

"General!" Wang Yun stepped forward, looked at He Jin and said, "Time is not waiting!" Your Majesty is getting stronger and stronger, not only persecuting our scholars, but the general thinks about it, how much power is left in the hands of the general in the past year? In Luoyang City, how many generals are left? It is the fifth school of the Northern Army, and now it is faintly replaced by the eighth school of the West Garden, that Qian Shuo is just a eunuch, but he has a heavy army, but he is a general, the military power is constantly being cut, above the court, the words are becoming more and more weak, and there is Ye Xiuming as his minion, if this goes on for a long time, His Majesty will not die, and the general is afraid that time is running out. ”

"So what?" He Jin said dejectedly: "In this Luoyang City, the military power has been controlled by Ye Zhao, and the five schools of the Northern Army and the Yulin Army are all outside the city, how can I compete with him?" ”

When Wang Yun heard this, he glanced at Yuan Kui and said with a smile: "Now there is an opportunity, just to see if the general is willing to be on the side of us and other Qing monarchs, and punish the traitor!" ”

Who is a traitor, Wang Yun didn't say, but everyone naturally knew it in their hearts.

"What chance?" He Jin frowned.

"As far as I know, the division of the commander under Ye Zhao is now sent by him to the Chenggao area to escort his wife and children, and he has not yet returned, and in Luoyang City, only the three guards of Luben are under his command." Wang Yun said with a smile: "Your Majesty feels that his body cannot support it, and he will definitely recruit Ye Zhao into the palace, when the time comes, we can take the opportunity to seize the city gate, welcome the five schools of the Northern Army into the city, first control Luoyang, and then persuade the recruits of the eighth school, at that time, the military power is in hand, Ye Zhao is a famous general in the world, how can he compete with us?" Wang Yun said hesitantly.

"Ran Luoyang Defense Army......" He Jin looked at Wang Yun and frowned.

"Wu Qiong, the captain of Zhengyangmen City Gate, will welcome the army into the city at that time, and the general will immediately send people to gather soldiers and horses!" Wang Yun smiled.

After He Jin hesitated for a while, he finally nodded in agreement, and after discussing with the two of them, he sent the two out.

Looking at the slowly closed He Mansion, Wang Yun and Yuan Kui looked at each other and smiled, Wang Yun bowed and said: "Taifu Xin's plan for the two tigers to compete for food is very clever, this He Jin, sure enough, agreed, now just wait for He Jin to lead the five colonels of the Northern Army to compete with Ye Zhao's brigade Ben Sanwei, we can rescue Ben Chu, let Ben Chu go to persuade the Xiyuan New Army, and then we can sit and reap the profits." ”

Yuan Kui stroked his beard and smiled: "That Feng Fang is a greedy person, the old man is not worried, but that Bao Hong is a butcher's protΓ©gΓ© after all...... Can the teacher be sure? ”

"Don't worry, Taifu, everything is under control!" Wang Yun smiled confidently and said: "As long as these two people agree, Qian Shuo is in the palace again, and he can't come out in time, half of the new army in Xiyuan will go into the pocket of our soldiers, just wait for the butcher and Ye Zhao to be defeated, and we can sit and reap the profits!" ”
