Chapter 109: Attack and Defense of Tongguan (11)
Yuan Shao did not solve Yan Liangwen's confusion, and when Yan Liangwenchou returned to his camp, Lu Yi had been waiting for a long time. Yan Liangwen Chou saw it and hurriedly stepped forward, if you want to say that the person who can make Yan Liangwen Chou admire, there is only one person in the whole Hebei who is Liyi, thinking about how strong Gongsun Zhan's Baimayi was at the beginning, but he was folded in the hands of Liyi, and he did not rely on conspiracy and trickery, Yan Liangwenchou only admired people with real skills.
"Brother, why didn't you die?" Wen Chou asked his own question, and Yan Liang also looked at Lu Yi and waited for an answer.
Koji Yi smiled lightly when he heard this, "This is all thanks to Tian Yuanhao, when I acted flamboyantly, which made Yuan Gong unhappy, so that in the end I found a reason to kill me, it was Tian Yuanhao who argued with Yuan Gong, which made Yuan Gong temporarily change his mind and claim to behead me, but in fact he only expelled me." ”
"Why is that brother here today?" Yan Liang asked suspiciously.
"Duke Yuan ordered me to be expelled, and I wanted to return to my hometown, but Tian Yuanhao's life-saving grace was not returned, so I stayed in Hebei temporarily. After Yuan Gong sent troops, Tian Yuanhao found me and asked me to blend in with the army and secretly protect Yuan Gong's safety, just waiting for Yuan Gong to return to Hebei, even if I reported Tian Yuanhao's original life-saving grace. ”
"Brother, now that the lord has suffered a big defeat, it is the time to employ people, why don't you take this opportunity to return to the lord's account, you and my brother are ......" Yan Liang was interrupted by Lu Yi waving his hand before he finished speaking, "Wen Heng, it's not that I have a grudge against Yuan Gong, but I have seen Yuan Gong's personality clearly, this person can share hardships but not wealth and prosperity, he is wide on the outside and jealous on the inside, he is indecisive and scheming, not the master." I, Koji Yi, have already suffered a loss of ignorance, how can I continue to be obsessed. ”
Yan Liang couldn't persuade anymore when he saw this, and it can be seen from the fact that Liyi opened and closed his mouth to call Yuan Shao Yuan Gong that Liyi came to the rescue this time, I'm afraid it was just to pay off the favor owed to Tian Feng.
"Brother, where are you going to stay in the future?" Yan Liang asked.
"I've been away from home for many years, and I want to go back and see it first." Koji replied casually. Koyi has two families in Dahan, and his ancestral home is in the Jizhou Plain, but in order to avoid trouble, the family moved to Xiping, Liangzhou. Later, the plain returned to calm, and Koji Yi returned to the plain and took refuge in the then Jizhou Mu Hanfu. When Han Fu conceded Jizhou Mu to Yuan Shao, Lu Yi also became Yuan Shao's subordinate along with Fu Zhu and others. Yan Liang saw that Liyi said that he wanted to go back to his hometown, and knew in his heart that the hometown that Liyi was talking about was not the plain, but Xiping.
"Brother, do you want to take refuge in the imperial court?" Yan Liang frowned and asked.
"Wen Heng, even if I have the heart to take refuge, I may not be able to enter the eyes of today's son." Koji Yi smiled when he heard this, didn't deny it, just jokingly laughed at himself.
"With my brother's ability, I won't be reused. It's just that brother, if you say goodbye today, if you want to meet again in the future, I'm afraid it will be on the battlefield. Yan Liang said with a little sadness.
"Wen Heng, a manly man, why do you want to be such a child." Seeing this, Lu Yi smiled and patted Yan Liang's shoulder, lowered his voice and persuaded Yan Liang: "Wen Heng, Yuan Gong's attack this time, I'm afraid it won't be the end, you and Bujun must remember not to relax." As soon as Yuan Gong died, Hebei would be in chaos, and Yuan Gong's three sons would each occupy a state. ”
“…… Brother, can you leave later? When Yan Liang heard this, he hurriedly asked Lu Yidao.
Hearing this, Lu Yi shook his head, "If Yuan Gong hadn't found me, then I could have stayed for a while, but now that I have shown up, Yuan Gong has a good face, and if you stay for one more day, you will have one more day of right and wrong, so it's better to leave earlier." Wen Heng, if you can't make up your mind in the future, then it depends on Tian Feng's choice. This old man is stubborn, but everything he thinks in his heart is what Hebei thinks. ”
Yan Liang nodded, indicating that he had written down Koji's words, and then Koji left the camp. He was about to leave, but he just wanted to say goodbye to Yan Liangwen Chou, so he stayed for a while, and now the people who should have seen him have already seen it, and Yan Liangwen Chou is not the master who remembers eating or not remembering, there is Yuan Shao who was attacked like this, and it will be very difficult for the person who wants to assassinate Yuan Shao next time to get so easy to approach, and it is estimated that Liyi will continue to stay here in addition to annoying people, it is estimated that there is no other effect, so it is better to simply take the initiative to leave, than to ask someone to drive people away.
In the early morning of the next day, Yuan Shao ordered someone to summon Yan Liangwen Chou, and only then did he know that Liyi had left last night. Yuan Shao couldn't help but sigh secretly in his heart, he intended to get rid of Liyi, that was because Liyi had too much prestige in the army and had surpassed himself, in order to avoid Liyi from betraying the master, Yuan Shao could only strike first.
Obeyed Tian Feng's advice to let Koi Yi go, it was also because Yuan Shao also felt guilty at that time. The crime of killing Koji Yi was to be arrogant and arrogant, but after the great victory, there were a few soldiers who were not excited.
Just letting Koji Yi go doesn't mean that Yuan Shao is willing to see Koji Yi again, a person who was declared dead by himself suddenly appeared in front of people, and fortunately saved his life, which made Yuan Shao feel very embarrassed and didn't know what to do with Koji Yi. Now Lu Yi took the initiative to leave, which relieved Yuan Shao's siege.
Hebei has many generals, although Koji Yi has the ability, but Yuan Shao is not not able to do without Kojiyi. Lu Yi left as soon as he left, and Yuan Shao didn't feel much distressed. And there are other things that are bothering Yuan Shao at the moment, Lu Bu is Cao Cao's subordinate, this attack, whether it is Lu Bu's own initiative or Cao Cao's mastermind, Yuan Shao wants to find out very much at this time.
It is a way to ask Cao Cao directly, but Yuan Shao estimates that Cao Cao will not admit it nine times out of ten. And using this as an excuse to ask the Central Plains Xingshi occupied by Cao Cao for guilt, the current time does not seem to be too good. However, the posture still has to be put on immediately, Guo Tu, who is responsible for asking Cao Cao Xingshi for his guilt, has already set off, regardless of whether this Lu Bu is instructed by Cao Cao or not, as long as there is a gap between Cao Cao and Lu Bu, then Guo Tu's purpose will be achieved.
Lu Bu is brave, Yuan Shao has seen it with his own eyes last night, if Lu Bu is still Cao Cao's next general, it will probably be an obstacle to his own attack on the Central Plains in the future. If Cao Cao admits that Lu Bu was ordered to take his life, then the next thing will be much better. Yuan Shao didn't believe that he couldn't deal with the Son of Heaven who was in danger, and he couldn't clean up Cao Cao, who bordered his forces.
Guo Tu had already set off, in order to wait for Cao Cao's reply, Yuan Shao ordered the army to be diverted to Luoyang, once Cao Cao could not give a satisfactory answer, then Yuan Shao did not mind directly capturing the Tiger Prison Pass and teaching Cao Cao a lesson.

In a col in the mountains
"Wen Hou, what are we going to do next?" Cao Xuan came over and asked Lu Budao.
"Shulong, have the casualties been counted?" Lu Bu asked when he heard this.
"More than 1,000 people have been lost, and hundreds of people are still injured, so it can't be used for the time being." Cao Xing replied in a somewhat deep voice.
Lu Bu was silent for a long time after hearing this, and now the five thousand flying bear army under his hands is Lu Bu's last family background, which was lost by one-third at once, and last night's assassination failed, which made Lu Bu feel confused about the future for a while.
"Where's Boluan?" Lu Bu asked.
"Bo Luan has a slight injury, but it's fine."
"Bo Luan is injured? Who was hurt? Lu Bu was taken aback when he heard this, and hurriedly asked.
"Last night, I acted separately from Bo Luan, and after I knew that Bo Luan was injured and the whole army withdrew, I heard from the people around Bo Luan that it was a military general named Han Meng in Yuan Shao's army."
Han Meng...... Let's go and see Boluan. Lu Bu remembered the name and proposed to Cao Xing.
When Lu Bu and Cao Xing found Zhang Xiu, they found that Zhang Xiu was asking people to change their dressings. Last night in vain, everyone was a little depressed, and they were tired in the middle of the night, Zhang Xiu fell asleep after letting people use ordinary healing medicine to help him deal with the wound, until he woke up, he remembered that he had the best healing medicine with him, and he was ready to clean the wound and replace it with new medicine.
"Boluan, how are the injuries?" Lu Bu asked with concern.
"Wen Hou rest assured, it's just some skin injuries, and it's no wonder that he was careless." Zhang Xiu couldn't help but show a hateful expression on her face when she said this.
"Bo Luan, how about Han Meng's martial arts?" Seeing this, Lu Bu asked.
"Well, it should be between the last general and the last general, but last night the last general was lightly defeated, which made Han Meng hurt, if there is a next time, then Han Meng will not want to take advantage of the last general."
Lu Bu knew that Zhang Xiu was a strong person, and he didn't say anything to Zhang Xiu like he was stunned, but just comforted Zhang Xiu to recuperate from his injuries, and strive to go to Han Mengxue after healing from his injuries as soon as possible.
"Boluan, this operation failed, Cao Cao may not be easy to explain, there is something I want to entrust to you at the moment, and I ask you to agree no matter what." Lu Bu saluted Zhang Xiu as he spoke.
Zhang Xiu was taken aback when she saw this, and hurriedly dodged and said, "Wen Hou is serious, please ask Wen Hou to command." ”
"Bo Luan also knows that the reason why I will stoop to Cao Cao is only because my family is controlled by Cao Cao, this failure, I am afraid that Cao Cao will attack my family, so I intend to let you and Shulong take people to Xu Du quietly to take the opportunity to act, if possible, it is best to rescue my family."
"Wen Hou, what about you?" Zhang Xiu frowned and asked.
"Naturally, I stayed here and continued to deal with Yuan Shao."
"Wen Hou, at this time, your whereabouts have been exposed, Yuan Shao will definitely strengthen his precautions in the future, it doesn't make much sense to stay here, why don't you return to Xudu with us."
"Xu Du, you can go back, Shulong can also go back, but only I, Lu Bu, can't go back. If he had succeeded last night, Cao Cao might have accepted us, but now, the matter has been exposed, I am afraid that Cao Cao will be impatient to draw a line with us in order to clear up the relationship. There is still a glimmer of life for you and me to stay here, but if we go back, it will be tantamount to throwing ourselves into a net. Therefore, when the two of you return to Xudu, remember to be cautious and not show your face easily. ”
"But if I and Shulong are gone, who will stay to help Wen Hou?" Zhang Xiu asked unrelentingly.
"Thank you Boluan for your kindness, I stayed here to buy you time, as long as I don't show up for a day, Cao Cao and Yuan Shao won't tear their faces for a day. Don't worry, I'm not going to do anything risky. ”
"But ......"
Just when Zhang Xiu was still trying to find a reason, someone came over and reported to Lu Buyu: "Lord, the person who came back from last year is here again." ”
Lu Bu was stunned for a moment, and then reacted that the person who came back was none other than Shi A. But how did this Shia find himself so quickly?
"Shia, how did you find our place?" As soon as Lu Bu saw Shi A, he immediately asked about the doubts in his heart. Shi A smiled when he heard this, and asked instead of answering: "Wen Hou, you also tried it last night, Shi A just wants to ask you now, Wen Hou still has confidence in assassinating Yuan Shaoke now?" ”
"Hmph, if it weren't for the crossbowman who suddenly appeared last night, Yuan Shao's head would have been taken off a long time ago." Lu Bu snorted coldly.
Seeing Lu Bu's hard mouth, Shi A couldn't help but shake his head and smiled: "Wen Hou, many things in this world are based on success or failure, and a miss is a miss, how can there be such a reason?" ”
“…… Shia, did you come to see me today specifically to mock me? Lu Bu, who had some uneasiness on his face, glared at Shi A and asked.
"Wen Hou don't worry, Shi A came this time, there is good news and bad news to inform Wen Hou, I don't know which Wen Hou is willing to listen to first?"
“…… Shia, do you know that you are very underwhelmed now? ”
"Huh...... It's Shi A's fault, he shouldn't have fun with Wen Hou. Since Wen Hou didn't choose, then Shi Ah said it. ”
"If there's a fart, let it go!"
"Uh-huh, Shi A just received news from Xu Du last night, saying that Wen Hou's wife and children left in Xu Du were abducted by a group of mysterious people, and Xia Hou Dun, who was in charge of guarding Xu Du, was about to go crazy, and was searching Xu Du, vowing to save Wen Hou's wife and children from the kidnappers."
Hearing Shi Ah say that his wife and children left in Xudu were rescued, Lu Bu was stunned for a moment, then reacted, frowned and complained to Shi Adao: "Shi A, why didn't you know me in advance, if there is an accident, this is ...... accident"
"Huh...... Wen Hou rest assured, the lord's subordinates are many capable people, first use a stand-in to secretly take Wen Hou's wife and children out of Xudu, but then restore their original appearance and leave Xudu, Xiahou is simple-minded If he can find a flaw, it would be strange. ”
"But how can the stand-in make Cao Cao's people not see the flaws?"
"Huh...... If Wen Hou has any questions, why don't you wait for him to meet the lord in the future? ”
"You're here to persuade me to go back to Chang'an?" Lu Bu frowned when he heard this.
"Wen Hou, if it weren't for you to go back to Chang'an, why would the lord bother to mobilize the people. After your lord knew about your difficulties, he strictly ordered me to solve your problems, otherwise Wen Hou thought that my Shi A was full of food and support, and ordered his right-hand men to go to such a dangerous place in Xudu? If it weren't for the lord's nod, I, Shi A, would not dare to use it for public and private purposes even if I had the courage to do so. ”
“…… But now that my assassination of Yuan Shao has been known to Yuan Shao, will I cause trouble for the saint when I return to Chang'an at this time? Lu Bu said hesitantly.
"Wen Hou, you think too much. Have you forgotten that not long ago, Yuan Shao gave the lord a vicious battle in Tongguan? Now even if you have more of you, the lord is not itchy with lice, and he doesn't have to worry about debts. ”
"But even if I go back to Chang'an, what can I do? Can the Holy Lord allow me Lu Bu to lead an army alone? ”
“…… Wen Hou, why don't you and I make a bet? Shi A suddenly proposed to Lu Bu.
"Bet on what?"
"Just bet that the main guild won't be reused for you."
"What's the stake?"
"If the lord doesn't reuse you, then Shi Ah will lose this head to you."
"And what if you win?"
"Then please ask Wen Hou to be like me and change his name to the Holy Lord. Wen Hou, what does this change of words mean, Shi A thinks you should know it in your heart. ”
Shi A's meaning Lu Bu understood, to be honest, if he was still Lu Bu when he was proud, he really couldn't open that mouth and call Liu Xie the lord. But now, after more experience, my mood has also been tempered, and I am a little less optimistic about fame and fortune. Calling Liu Xie the lord means surrendering to Liu Xie in my heart.
Although Lu Bu's character is not good, he still has gambling products, and the four words "willing to gamble and lose" are not for fun. After thinking about it for a long time, Lu Bu chose to bet with Shi A. The decision to make this bet with Shi A can be regarded as Lu Bu's careful consideration. Now is no longer the time when the princes stood side by side, after all these years of war, the former dozens of princes now have a few fruits left. There are fewer princes, which means that Lu Bu has fewer chances to make a comeback.
Yuan Shao and Cao Cao's Lu Bu couldn't stay, and Liu Biao's Lu Bu didn't want to go, after all, the three brothers of Liu Bei, who had a grudge against Lu Bu at this time, were also with Liu Biao. As for Jiangdong Sun Ce, Lu Bu asked himself that he had not yet fallen into a situation where he needed to rely on the protection of his juniors.
After all the calculations, it seems that only Liu Xie, the son of heaven, can defect. This time, Yuan Shao challenged the imperial court, although the imperial court lost the four counties of Sizhou, but according to the current situation, there is no suspense in recovering the lost territory. And through this conflict with Yuan Shao, the imperial court took back Yizhou and drove Liu Zhang, who was originally the king of Shu, to Nanzhong, who was mostly barbarians.
This Yizhou is divided into north and south, the north is mostly Han Chinese, and the south is mostly barbarians. Thinking that Liu Zhang's northward movement was blocked, he turned his target to the south, and had a lot of conquests against the southern barbarians, although he got a lot of booty, but at the same time, he also offended the barbarians. This time, he was driven out of Chengdu by the imperial court and fled to Nanzhong, and it is not an exaggeration to say that Liu Zhang was a lost dog at this time. And the life of this lost dog in Nanzhong is getting more and more difficult.
Nanzhong was not rich in the first place, and was plundered by Liu Zhang's faction before, and after Liu Zhang fled to Nanzhong with the remnants of the defeated army, he was first settled by the barbarians who were bullied at the beginning, followed by a large number of Yizhou officials who fled south with Liu Zhang, because they couldn't stand the suffering of Nanzhong and chose to flee north.
From Liu Zhang's escape to Nanzhong to Yuan Shao's retirement in the past few months, Liu Zhang felt that he seemed to have suffered all the sins he had to suffer in his life. It's not that Liu Zhang can control his appetite, but he really can't find any decent food to eat.
"Xun'er, if you can see the saint when you go to Chang'an, remember not to be rude, the life and death of my Liu family are all tied to you." When Liu Zhang sent his son Liu Xun north, he told him thousands of times.
