Chapter 63: The Current Situation
On the third day after Yuan Yun left, Di Cao Ang reorganized the army, and then all converged at the dock on a certain night, and boarded the big ship as scheduled, dozens of huge ships loaded with countless gunpowder soldiers quietly went up the river towards Chang'an.
Cao Ang had already enacted a curfew in Luoyang, and the city gates would be closed as soon as nightfall, and no one was allowed to move around the streets, so even if the 30,000 troops left Luoyang, they were still silent.
Duan Xuan naturally arranged eyeliner in Luoyang, but when his eyeliner found out that something was wrong, the 30,000 gunpowder army had already landed at Chang'an Wharf, and the gatekeeper guarding the city gate was enveloped by Yuan Yun very early, and the gunpowder army was almost unhindered from entering the city.
However, Duan Xuan is not a vegetarian after all, when he learned that the enemy had broken through the city gate on the other side of the dock, he immediately gathered the army and then assembled in Xicheng, and then set up a position on the street, which was completely a posture of preparing to fight to the end, but unfortunately even if he wanted to, his subordinates did not want to, many generals were local clans, and the first thing they did was to tie up Duan Xuan and hand him over.
Duan Xuan waited until he saw Cao Ang, but he didn't understand how he lost the city, but now he also has some confidence, after all, it was Cao Ang who attacked him, and he thought in his heart that no matter how the other party didn't dare to do anything to him.
But soon Duan Xuan found out that something was wrong, because all the enemies who appeared in Chang'an were wearing the clothes of Han sergeants, the kind of military uniforms that looked like black Taoist robes, and fools knew that they were unique divine soldiers in Hanzhong.
Tonghu saw that his subordinates had occupied the Chang'an City Lord's Mansion, and immediately began to smash it, as if he had come to loot, and waited until the entire City Lord's Mansion was burned to the ground, he took three thousand soldiers wearing Hanzhong military uniforms to start parading the streets, and he swore that he began to recite the Taoist text compiled by Zhang Lu, which was completely like a god stick.
It wasn't until these bluffing things were done for several days that he began to retreat suddenly, and then Cao Ang's scene, which was completely the posture of the army coming to the rescue, and the people of Chang'an only shouted Wang Shi and other slogans to greet him after seeing Cao Ang's banner.
By the time Cao Ang entered Chang'an City, Tonghu had already rushed to Hanzhong with Duan Xuan's head, so he naturally went to give Zhang Lu a gift.
Duan Xuan only asked to see Yuan Yun before he died, and hoped that the other party would personally cut off his head, but unfortunately, Tonghu ignored it at all, just casually said that he knew, and then waved his big hand, and the blood donation in Duan Xuan's neck and mouth immediately flew out.
After half a month, Zhang Lu was obscured, because someone gave him a brocade box, and when he opened it, his face changed with fright, and the human head in Duan Xuan had been pickled in lime, and it was done very well, and there was no place for decay.
When several officials who usually sneak around and shoot horses saw it, they all congratulated Zhang Lu in unison for his might, and he took down the Chang'an City Order without much effort, and then naturally there were all kinds of praise from the believers.
Zhang Lu was difficult to ride a tiger, knowing that if he explained at this time, he was afraid that he would lose his godhead among these believers, so he gritted his teeth and accepted everyone's congratulations.
When Zhang Lu returned to his back house, he couldn't sit still anymore, Duan Xuan's head was here, then it meant that he had completely broken with Cao Cao, but even if he knew that he was framed now, he was helpless.
It was also from this day that Zhang Lu couldn't sleep well anymore, and often woke up in the middle of the night, and then shouted that the gunpowder army had killed Yunyun, so that even the bewitching who accompanied the bed couldn't sleep well, so the two of them were in a trance for half a month.
In the end, at the suggestion of Gong Cao Yanpu, Zhang Lu simply raised the banner of resistance to Cao Cao, with a posture of either you die or I die, so the court also completely labeled Zhang Lu as a thief.
The happiest was not Cao Ang in Chang'an, but Liu Zhang in Yizhou, when the name of Zhang Lu thief came, he was immediately overjoyed, and then began to gather troops, and justifiably began to send troops to attack Hanzhong.
For this reason, Liu Zhang even entertained several shopkeepers of the Yuan Mansion in Yizhou, and when everyone was puzzled by Liu Zhang's hospitality to a few businessmen, only those who knew the inside story understood that they all thought that this was Yuan Yun's tricks behind his back, so that the imperial court finally issued an edict to define Zhang Lu's anti-thief name, so naturally he had to thank the people of the Yuan Mansion.
After Cao Ang took over Chang'an, according to the previous agreement, he began to disband the local army, and gave them compensation and food, so that they could return to their homes and fields, as for those Duan Xuan's cronies, none of them remained, and all of them were beheaded, on the grounds that they collaborated with the enemy, which led to Chang'an being broken by Zhang Lu overnight.
After the Chang'an incident, Cao Ang did not stop, and continued to march westward with the army, leaving only Zhong Xuan to preside over the follow-up work, and at this moment Luoyang Jia Xu also sent three thousand newly enlisted gunpowder soldiers, although these people could not follow the army because of insufficient training, but it was more than enough to guard a Chang'an.
When Cao Ang was in Chang'an, Yuan Yun had already arrived in Yecheng, and naturally lived directly in the mansion of his father-in-law Cao Cao, and he came over this time not only with Cao Qinghe, but also Zhen Mi.
Cao Qinghe is naturally reluctant to leave the government after not seeing his father for a few years, Zhen Mi is different, she was originally from the four northern states, and she has naturally been to Yecheng many times, but this time she came with her own wishful husband Yuan Yun, so she will take Yuan Yun to the street every day when she is free.
Yuan Yun also felt very surprised when he came to Yecheng, originally thought that Cao Cao would quickly gather people and horses, and then discuss the matter of Guan Yu's Northern Expedition to Karasuma, but he came for a few days without any movement, but every day Cao Cao would have dinner with him, but he never mentioned the matter of Karasuma during the banquet.
Yuan Yun was very helpless, but in his heart, he felt that Cao Cao had better not mention it all the time, and finally sent him directly Yuan Yun back to Luoyang, so everything would be fine.
Since there is nothing to do every day, the rest is idle business, and the dream of sleeping until you wake up naturally, Yuan Yun never guessed that it was done in Cao's Mansion in Yecheng, so in addition to walking around the street with Zhen Mi every day, he was left to accompany Cao Qinghe and Bian's tea in Cao's Mansion.
The days passed gradually, and more than a month passed in an instant, and it was already the end of summer at this time, and Yuan Yun suddenly felt wrong, because the history books recorded that Cao Cao's crusade against Karasuma was summer, but now that the summer has passed, the army still has no movement.
"Do you want to wait until next summer?" Yuan Yun frowned when he said this, didn't he want to stay in Yecheng for a whole year?
Looking at Cao Qinghe's somewhat stunned expression, Yuan Yun smiled bitterly and said, "When I came, I thought I was going to go on the expedition soon, and I didn't want to delay it for so long without moving, it seems that I expected to deviate, hehe." ”
Cao Qinghe didn't understand what Yuan Yun said at all, but as long as the army did not go out, then Yuan Yun would always be by her side, and she naturally would not object, so she replied with a smile: "Then live in Yecheng for a year, if Yuan Lang misses his wife and children at home, it is better to send someone to pick them up, anyway, there is a boat to sit on all the way, and it is not hard work." ”
When Cao Qinghe spoke, she was holding her son Yuan Qing lovingly, and she really didn't want the mother and son to be separated this time, so she brought them over.
Yuan Qing's little person is also the first time to leave home so far, naturally he is playing crazy all the way, he doesn't have to face Cai Wenji's stereotype every day, he feels that everything in the world is good, and Yuan Yun is a person who likes to spoil children, which makes this kid crazy.
Not long after, Bian walked into this lakeside pavilion with a bag of new tea, looking at Yuan Yun and Yuan Qing, who were no one, his face immediately turned bad, first slapped Yuan Yun, and then pinched Yuan Qing's tender face.
Yuan Qing was very well-behaved, and when she saw Bian, she began to scream from her grandmother, which made Bian so happy that she couldn't see her teeth and eyes, and finally even gave away a piece of jade pendant she liked very much.
Yuan Yun watched Bian take off the jade pendant around his waist, and even smacked his tongue, his son's appearance was too deceptive, he had been thinking about that jade pendant for a long time, but Bian had never sent it away, and he didn't want to be won by his son today.
Yuan Qing got the benefits, so he didn't want to stay anymore, so he ran to fight crickets with Cao Xiong and Cao Xiong, who came over, and it was a waste of time to drink tea or something.
After Yuan Qing left, Bian's face immediately became pale, and he stared at Yuan Yun fiercely: "I said that it was to open the trade route in the Western Regions before, why did it end after only a few runs, but there has been no movement until now, isn't the efficiency of your Yuan Mansion very high?" ”
The corners of Yuan Yun's mouth twitched, and finally he could only smile bitterly: "Now that the Xiliang Realm is about to become a pot of porridge, no caravan can pass, why should Aunt Bian be embarrassed." ”
Bian's eyebrows furrowed even more when he heard this, and said: "Tell me, what's going on with Ma Teng and Han Sui, don't tell me that you didn't participate, now the war in Xiliang continues, and the previous peace is gone, but you have suffered a lot of people, what did you kid do?" ”
Yuan Yun is not surprised that Bian can know so much, after all, Cao Zhi, Cao Zhang, and Cao Chong are in Luoyang all the year round, and when they came to Yecheng this time, several villains followed, but Cao Jie did not come, and those boys were used as microphones, and Bian's cleverness must have guessed probably.
As for whether Cao Cao knew that Cao Ang had led the army to kill Xiliang, Yuan Yun didn't think much about it, I believe that even if he didn't know at first, he should have received the news, but now that he is ready to fly, he will definitely not be able to collect it.
After thinking about it, Yuan Yun replied directly: "Brother Cao Ang has already gone to Xiliang with 30,000 gunpowder troops, and I believe that in winter, there should be a result of the war over there." ”
Bian Shi was stunned for a moment, and said in an instant: "At first, I was just thinking that you and Cao Ang were secretly playing ghosts behind your back, and I didn't want you to be so bold, so you directly led the troops to fight over, does Cao Sikong know about this?" ”
Yuan Yun nodded and said, "I didn't know at first, but I should already know about it." ”
"Naturally, you all know, you are really bold, the old man only said that Cao Ang would be fully responsible for the affairs over there, and he didn't want you to make such a big battle." The so-called Cao Cao, Cao Cao arrived, it seems that it is really true.
