Chapter Forty-Seven: The Imperial Capital Rises to the Top, and Yingchuan is the New Overlord
Xun Chen (the word Youruo) is Xun Yu's brother, Chen Qun once discussed Yingchuan Junyan with the famous scholar Kong Rong and said: Xun Wenruo, Gongda, Xiu Ruo, Youruo, Zhongyu, there is no right today. With Chen Qun's vision, they all respect the children of the Xun family to this point, which shows that the Xun family is famous and has many talents.
After Xu Chu returned the salute, he asked Xun Chen why he came to Yanling in the middle of the night, Xun Chen said: "Xiangcheng has been broken, Yingyang is in an emergency!" ”
"Huh?!" Xu Chu pretended to be panicked, and even asked, "Who attacked Yingyang, and how many soldiers and horses does Yingyang Ling have?" ”
Xun Chen said that it should be Huang Shao's people, Yingyang is close to Yangzhai and Yingyin counties, these three counties gather half of the wealthy families in Yingchuan, once occupied by the thief army, the consequences are unimaginable. The fatal part is that the soldiers of the three counties were all transferred to the south by Yin Xiu before, and they were still in the dark about Huang Shao's sudden return to attack the hinterland of Yingchuan.
Xu Chu was overjoyed, and the wolf was successfully lured!
Xun Chen's analysis is in place, the current situation, Xu Chu suddenly became extremely important, and only Yanling County in the northern counties of the county has the ability and confidence to send troops to block Huang Shao.
Xu Chu said quietly: "But Yanling soldiers are now on the order of the state pastor to crusade against the counties of Yuanling, and Xu is powerless." ”
When Xun Chen heard this, if he was struck by lightning, he didn't know that everything was in Xu Chu's plan, and sighed gloomily: "It seems that the sky is going to kill my Yingchuan......"
"But ......"
"But what?"
"Youruo, you can first rush to Yingyang County with Wang Yan of this county with five hundred foot soldiers in the starry night, and Xu will immediately send someone to recall the soldiers and horses, and at most three or four days, you can arrive in Yingyang County to join you."
Xun Chen didn't have time to think about it, and thanked Xu Chu deeply: "Xu County is righteous, and Chen is grateful." ”
Xu Chu didn't dare to accept the big gift, and avoided it: "Wen Ruoduo has a letter to me, asking me to take care of your family, it is reasonable, this is all Xu Chu's business." Xun Chen shook his head, and his senses for Xu Chu suddenly improved a lot.
Xu Chu simply sold his favor to the end, and said: "If you have great talents, the soldiers and horses under the command of Wang Yan will be controlled by you." ”
Xun Chen was impressed, he had all the knowledge of Wen Tao and Wu Strategy, he had confidence in himself, and he did not refuse at the moment, and accepted it calmly. Wang Yan got Xu Chu's order, and immediately beat the drum and beat the general, without delaying for a moment. Xun Chen saw that Yan Ling's soldiers were forbidden, and less than a pillar of incense kung fu 500 people were ready to go, and said in his heart: Xu Yanling has a good way of managing the army, and it really deserves its reputation.
There is a distance of more than 100 miles from Yanling County to Yingyang County, and when Xun Chen rushed to Yingyang County, he couldn't look for Yingyang everywhere, only to know that he probably had abandoned his official position and fled. So he and Wang Yan rushed to the front line with their soldiers, gathered the rout, stabilized the defense of the city, and blocked Huang Shao's offensive.
Xun Chen pressed his hands on the cold city wall, watching the yellow turban thieves bury the pot and make rice, brewing the next wave of offensive, and said in his heart that if Xu Chu couldn't arrive within five days, Yingyang County would be lost.
……
……
"My lord! What are you doing here? Xu Shu, who was on the way back to the division, saw the three horsemen rushing from a distance, and only recently did he realize that Xu Chu arrived with two personal guards.
Xu Chu dismounted, walked side by side with Xu Shu, and said: "The military situation is urgent, leave a hundred people to escort the captives back to Yanling and hand them over to Zifan Pangzhan to take care of, and you and I will rush to Yingyang County directly south with the main force." ”
"Huang Shao is here?"
"Here we are."
Xu Shu was silent for a long time, and then burst out, "It's a pity that the people will suffer another unwarranted disaster." ”
Xu Chu couldn't help but look at Xu Shu Haosheng and said, "Yuan Zhi thinks I'm doing something wrong?" ”
"Not really, Huang Shao doesn't come to fight Yingyang, he will go to Runan to join Liu Bi and others. Rather than this, it is better to exterminate it under Yingyang City and cut the grass and eradicate the roots. Xu Shu hurriedly explained, he was just sighing at the world of soldiers and disasters.
Xu Chu laughed at himself, drinking to quench his thirst is not as good as a strong man breaking his wrist, as long as others don't know that Huang Shao was deliberately attracted by Xu Chu, this matter is not a bad thing. He understands this truth, how can Xu Shu not understand it.
Hurrying to Yingyin County, Xu Chu saw that the soldiers were exhausted, so he ordered to camp and rest.
Yingyin County has received Xun Chen's news to welcome Xu Chu's arrival. Yingyin Ling took the people and villagers to pull a few carts of food and wine to the labor army, Xu Chu was not polite, and Yingyin Ling was polite for a while, and asked Dian Wei to distribute the wine and food to the soldiers to eat.
sent away the Yingyin order, and the Xun family also came to greet them. There are two people here this time, one is Xun Yu's third brother Xun Yan, and the other is Xun Yu's brother Xun Yue.
Xu Chu deliberately took the two to visit the Tiger Guard Camp, Xun Yan seemed to be very interested in military affairs, and Xing Chong Chong took a Mo knife and said: "The tiger is equipped with sharp weapons, Xu Xianjun is so courageous!" ”
Xun Yue said lightly: "A soldier is the most murderous thing in the world. "I don't seem to be interested in Xu Chu's Tiger Guard Camp.
After resting for half a day, he set off to Yingyang County, fifty miles away for four hours, Xun Chen was overjoyed when he arrived, invited Xu Chu to the city, and said: "Huang Shao attacked the city for days, the soldiers were tired, and launched a counterattack at this time, which will catch him off guard!" ”
Xu Shu agreed, and said: "Huang Shao didn't expect that there would be an extra new force in Yingyang County, which had been trapped for many days, and the lord, let Dian Wei go out of the battle and kill the thief army." ”
Xu Chu then personally beat the drum at the head of the city, Dian Wei rushed out of the city with five hundred tiger soldiers from the Tiger Guard Battalion, Huang Shao was really caught off guard, and left a pile of corpses and retreated to the south for thirty miles.
"Who is this gentleman?!" Xun Chen saw Dian Wei's god-like performance at the head of the city, and exclaimed.
"This is Chen Liuren Dian Wei, who is now the commander of the Tiger Guard Battalion of our army, with infinite power, and the evil of the past is also coming." Xu Chu said proudly.
Xun Chen couldn't help but re-evaluate Xu Chu: Guo Jia, a native of Yangzhai, and his younger brother Xun Yu praised every mention of this person; There is also Xu Shu, I heard that he was born in a poor family like Guo Jia, Xu Chu governed Yanling County in an orderly manner, Xu Shu is the first merit, and it must be extraordinary; Now there is an elite tiger guard, with warriors like Dian Wei as minions, looking at Yingchuan County, there is no one to compare with it.
Thinking of this, Xun Chen quietly put away the arrogance on his body, pondering whether to write a letter to his father Xun Qi, and considered improving his relationship with Xu Chu.
However, it was said that after Huang Shao retreated for thirty miles, after several hesitations, he finally chose to retreat to Xiangcheng to hold on.
The shock brought to him by Dian Wei and his tiger guards was too great, and he completely lost the confidence to go straight to Yang Zhai.
The house leak happened to rain overnight, and Huang Shao just put away his mind and prepared to arrange defense, when some of his men reported that there was a force in the rear under the banner of Ganzi, cutting off his retreat.
Huang Shao asked about the plan, and most people thought that the situation was critical, and they should turn around and deal with the enemy behind them before the officers and soldiers attacked the city.
Huang Shao couldn't make a decision, and remembered Chen Yilai, who had taken refuge halfway and offered his plan to attack Yang Zhai, so he asked people to summon him.
After Chen Yi came, he said bluntly: "There is Yanling Xu Zhongkang in the front, and there is the Jinfan thief in Shu County in the back, Qu Shuai is a hero, you should know that this is a desperate situation of ten deaths." ”
Huang Shao knew that Chen Yi was tricking him from beginning to end, "The vertical son deceives people too much!" He drew his sword and glared angrily. He also held sharp blades on the left and right, surrounding Chen Yituan.
Chen Yilin was right, looking at Huang Shao without squinting, "It's not a pity for me to die, does Qu Shuai want to let five thousand people accompany me to the funeral?" ”
Huang Shao was silent for a moment, and then sneered: "Xu Chu kills people like hemp, and more than 10,000 people in He Yi's department died under his butcher's knife, how can Ben Shuai be lucky?" Come, this man ...... Tie it up and take care of it. ”
……
……
Many people came to Yingyang City at once.
Zhang Feng and Zhong Yan, Zhong Jin's brothers, arrived with hundreds of people; The county thief Cao Peng Duyou also came with 500 county soldiers; There are also Guo Jia, Chen Qun, and Xun Yan, who unexpectedly appeared in front of everyone.
All the talents in Yingchuan County seem to have gathered in Yingyang County at once. And everyone's eyes converged on Xu Chu, who was penniless half a year ago.
So under the moon, they boiled tea and drank each other, talked and laughed, admired each other for a long time, and led the way.
Among the people, the official position is headed by Du You, but Du You himself insisted on giving up the main position to Xu Chu, and after counting Xu Chu's exploits after coming to Yingchuan, everyone praised it. I also heard that the three counties of Yuanling, Xinzheng, and Weishi had been recovered by Xu Chu, and everyone looked at Xu Chu differently, so even Chen Qun threw himself to Xu Chu and thanked Xu Chu for the people of Yingchuan.
Xu Chu fell into a dream, a few cups of tea in his stomach, and he felt even more fluttering.
Guo Jia timely led the topic to the Luoyang court, and everyone sighed again, the untimely death of the Son of Heaven, and the turmoil of the Han Dynasty was a foregone conclusion.
Nowadays, there are internal and external troubles, there are man-made rebellions in the north and south, and the court and the central government have no further battles with scholars and eunuchs, if the world is alive, with his prestige in power for many years, he may be able to support the Han Dynasty to fall into the general. But the Son of Heaven has collapsed, the crown prince has not been established before his death, and the Han Dynasty is already on the verge of death in the eyes of people of insight.
In the next few years or more than ten years, even if the Han family is still there, it will only survive. Even if the martial arts are resurrected, in the face of this devastated country, I am afraid that I can only cry out in vain.
chatting and chatting, he talked about Yin Xiu, and then talked about the vacancy of Yingchuan Taishou from Yin Xiu. Now that Luoyang is in chaos, there will be no appointment of a new Taishou for a while and a half, and Yingchuan urgently needs a new backbone to control chaos and reassure the people.
Chen Qun smiled at the corner of his mouth and turned his head to look at Xu Chu. Zhong Yan, Zhong Jin, Xun Chen, Xun Yan and others also knew in their hearts, but Du You was at a loss and said strangely: "Why are you all staring at Zhong Kang, is it possible that Zhong Kang's face is full of flowers?" ”
Xun Yan laughed and said with a smile: "Du Junde is highly respected, why don't we wait for us to perform him as Yingchuan Taishou?" ”
Du You suddenly realized that he was a person who didn't like to attack scheming, and said bluntly: "If you really want to recommend it, Zhongkang is the most suitable." But...... It is still necessary to wait for Huang Shao's department to be flattened. ”
Xu Chu was about to excuse himself, when he saw Guo Jia secretly pulling his shirt and shaking his head slightly. Seeing that he glanced at Xu Shu again, Xu Shu understood, and deliberately smiled bitterly: "Where can Xu Xianjun be too guarded, don't make fun of you." ”
Zhong Jin was anxious, and immediately asked: "From the bottom of your heart, how can you make fun of it?" ”
Xu Shu said: "No matter who you are, if you don't have the help of your talents, how can you sit firmly in the position of Taishou?" ”
Everyone looked at each other and laughed.
Guo Jia looked at everyone's expressions in his eyes and secretly rejoiced: he finally fulfilled his mission.
