Chapter 107: Eliminate the Fish That Slipped Through the Net
Guo Jia stood behind Jin Liang, heard Cao Xing say this, and quietly admonished: "Lord, I have a plan, in order to deceive Dong Thief, the lord went this time, first made a big fanfare, dressed up two thousand people as five or six thousand, and when the elite troops were evacuated from the West Gate, they had to stop and march quietly, so that Dong Zhuo thought that we were increasing our troops rather than changing our guards, as long as he thought that we had added five or six thousand more soldiers and horses to Ximen, he would not dare to make any moves for the time being." Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info In this way, the lord can take advantage of the night to quietly withdraw the elite of Luoyang West Gate, leaving only a few remnants, enough to fight the flag, because the flag is dense, Dong thief can not see the truth for the time being, and our army can calmly withdraw. ”
Jin Liang stroked his palms and laughed: "Fengxiao's plan is very good, so I will handle it with this." ”
Jin Liang led two thousand and state troops to Luoyang, along the way, the flags were unfurled, the gongs and drums were noisy, and the elongated line seemed to have five or six thousand people, and the scouts sent by Dong Zhuo did not dare to approach, and looked at it from a distance, estimated the number according to the number of flags, and then patted the horse to report back to Dong Zhuo.
As soon as Dong Zhuo heard that Jin Liang was going to Luoyang West Gate to increase troops again, he couldn't help but slap the table and shout: "Jin Liang, this untrustworthy villain, I shouldn't mistakenly trust him and miss the opportunity to enter Beijing!" ”
Li Ru persuaded on the side: "Father, don't be angry, Jin Liang's move is very interesting, he has led the Jingzhou Assassin Shi Zhennan General, it is said that he has no responsibility to defend the Beijing Division, so it is quite incomprehensible to act like this." However, since this person is the assassin of Jingzhou, he must return to the governing land, and he can't stay in Luoyang for long, so his father will wait and see what tricks he Jin Liang is playing. ”
Dong Zhuo nodded: "Just follow what Ru'er said, and wait and see what happens." ”
Jin Liang led two thousand and state troops with great fanfare, disguised as five or six thousand people. Naturally, there are five or six thousand people who walk. Slowly soaring along the way. The speed of the march can be called turtle speed.
Early in the morning of the sixth day of the first month of September, I started to set off after breakfast, and arrived at the west gate of Luoyang at noon, a distance of thirty miles, and walked for two hours.
After having lunch with the 9,000 Ximen guards under Huang Zhong, and after a short rest, the elimination selection began.
If the name is not right, it is not good. Jin Liang took out an edict from the Queen Mother, and said in a high-sounding manner: "In accordance with the edict of the Queen Mother, all the soldiers will be divided into two categories, one is good at field warfare, and will follow the general to Jingzhou to destroy the Qingshan thieves, and the other is good at defending the city, so they will stay in Luoyang City to defend." Follow this general to pacify the Qingshan thieves, everyone will definitely be able to make contributions, and after the pacification is successful, everyone will be promoted and make a fortune, and staying in Luoyang City to defend the city may not have any merits. But the victory is in peace, please work hard. I will decide based on your performance whether you will follow me to fight the green bandits or stay in Luoyang to defend the city. ”
On the tower of the city west of Luoyang, every soldier stood straight under the scorching sun, because their commanders Jin Liang and Huang Zhong also stood in a military posture with them against the sun. Those who can't insist on standing for an hour under the scorching sun will be eliminated, and those who have passed the test of standing military posture will have to go through the review of family background and past experience, and those who are related to Dong Zhuo, Yuan Shao or other big families will be eliminated, and those who have had the experience of burning, killing, plundering, and indiscriminately killing innocents and will not repent will be eliminated, so that among the 11,000 people in Ximen now, there are 8,000 elites left, and most of the 3,000 people who have been eliminated are Luoyang soldiers. is also unwilling to follow Jin Liang to Jingzhou to fight bandits and make contributions. At the same time, the Yulin Army, the Tiger Ben Army, He Miao Buqu, the Xiyuan Fifth Army, and the Bingzhou Army are also selecting the elite according to the standards drawn up by Jin Liang.
In this way, more than 6,000 people were eliminated, and Jin Liang organized these 6,000 people into the New Yulin Army, the Tiger Ben Army, the Xiyuan Fifth Army and the Ximen Guards, and appointed the highest rank among them as their respective captains, among which Zhao Rong, who was good at eating meat, was the commander of all the armies and was responsible for defending Luoyang City. Under the command of the new Yulin Military Captain Shi A, the new Yulin Army took over from Wang Yue's elite Tiger Army to defend the palace.
The New Tiger Army took over from Cheng Lian's Bingzhou Army to defend the North Gate.
The New West Garden Army was led by Zhao Rong to defend the West Gate of Luoyang.
The 3,000 Ximen guards who were eliminated by Jin Liang were replaced and stationed in the camp of the original Xiyuan Fifth Army.
The army in Luoyang City was reduced to 9,000 at once, but the number of banners remained the same, the camp was not changed, and the four parts divided into each other did not know that the other party had decreased, but they thought that it was a normal change of guard.
Jin Liang led the selection of 8,000 elite soldiers at the West Gate, divided into eight teams, and quietly returned to the Xiaopingjin camp along the secluded path at night.
Wang Yue, Xue Lan, Li Feng, Xia Mu, Feng Fang and other generals also quietly left the station in Luoyang City with the selected elite soldiers, and quietly came to the Xiaopingjin camp to join Jin Liang.
Jin Liang originally controlled 8,000 people of the Bingzhou Army, 4,000 people of the Yulin Army, 10,000 people of the Fifth Battalion of the Northern Army, 8,000 people of the Tiger Ben Army, 8,000 people of He Miao Buqu, 8,000 people of the Fourth Army of Xiyuan, and 3,000 guards under Sima Panyu of Ximen.
These 30,000 people are not only the elite with a tenacious will to fight, but also the only one who obeys his golden life, the second point is more important than the first, for this reason he did not hesitate to eliminate hundreds of skilled soldiers, just because they are inextricably linked with the Yuan family and other families.
Dong Zhuo and Yuan Shao's spies were scattered in the streets and alleys of Luoyang City, and they couldn't understand the mystery of the transfer of troops under Jin Liang's command at all, because Jin Liang had changed the guards of these troops in his hands, and the so-called new army that had been eliminated was full of flags and gongs and drums when they went to change their guards, and it seemed that a large number of men and horses had been dispatched, but the elite troops who had withdrawn had died down and quietly left Luoyang City. It appears that the number of flags in each station has increased slightly, but in fact the number has decreased dramatically.
When he arrived at the camp in Xiaopingjin, Jin Liang gathered the officers above the commander to discuss the matter and read to them the true edict of the Empress Dowager He. Explain the stakes to them. Ordered them to accompany Jin Liang to Jingzhou. Huang Zhong had already predicted it. Not against it. Xia Mu and Feng Fang glanced at each other and nodded, they were not stupid, they could see that if they stayed in Luoyang City, they would be eaten alive by Dong Zhuo or Yuan Shaosheng sooner or later, and they would still follow Jin Liang to escort them with a future.
One of the military marquis jumped up and shouted at that time: "Did the Queen Mother inform Yuan Taifu and Yuan Sili when she moved?!" ”
Jin Liang looked at it, it turned out that he was so careless that he forgot to eliminate the middle and senior officers above the tun commander, and he actually forgot about Han Yu, the cousin of Han Fu, the former official of the Yuan family.
Jin Liang said quietly: "I have already informed Yuan Kui and Lord Yuan Shao. The uncle and nephew of the Yuan family are brave and loyal, and they are willing to stay in Luoyang to fight against Dong Zhuo's traitors! ”
Han Yu was even more stupid than his brother, he couldn't see the situation clearly at all, and shouted loudly: "Jin Liang, you are lying, I just went to see Yuan Sili yesterday, Lord Yuan didn't tell me at all, you are overbearing!" ”
Jin Liang snorted coldly: "Whether it's an edict or not, you will know later." ”
As soon as Jin Liang's words fell, four people stepped down from the carriage where the Tiger Ben Army transported weapons and armor outside the tent. Escorted by the Yulin Army, those four people stepped into Jin Liang's Zhongjun tent.
Everyone looked at each other. Led by a beautiful and dignified woman who is nearly thirty years old is the current Empress Dowager He Lian, followed by the Young Emperor Liu Bian, followed by two stunning girls, one is the Empress Tang Concubine Tang Yue of the Young Emperor, and the other is Liu Hua, the sister of Liu Bian's sister Princess Wannian.
As for Liu Xie, the king of Chenliu, he was left in the palace by Jin Liang intentionally or unintentionally. At this time, it was a discussion in the army, and all the generals were not wearing armor, so it was not difficult to bow down.
Jin Liang preemptively saluted and said: "The last general will see the Queen Mother, the Emperor, the Queen, the Princess, Long live the Queen Mother, long live Long live!" Long live the emperor, long live, long live! Long live the queen mother, long live, long live! Princess Chitose Chitose Chitose! ”
The generals hurriedly followed behind Jin Liang, knelt down and kowtowed: "Long live the Queen Mother!" Long live the emperor, long live, long live! Long live the queen mother, long live, long live! Princess Chitose Chitose Chitose! ”
In the Eastern Han Dynasty, there should be no such title as long live Chitose, Empress Dowager He reviewed the young emperor Liu Wei: "This palace has told you, Jin Aiqing is a genius in the sky, there are new tricks every day, Your Majesty should learn more from him, and he can grow a lot, like this Banzai Chitose, it is to bless us to live a long live Chitose, it sounds really pleasant." ”
Liu Wei nodded yes, and Empress Dowager He turned around and raised her hand and said, "All the ministers are flat!" ”
The generals got up one after another, standing on both sides, waiting for Empress Dowager He's golden words.
Mrs. He was sad and said in a mournful voice: "The palace saw that Dongzhuo of Xiliang led more than 100,000 tigers and wolves, and he was ambitious and menacing, and he was afraid that Luoyang City could not be defended, and the royal family was in trouble, so he decided to move to Xiangyang, and the palace had hinted to Yuan Taifu and other ministers of the family, so that they could withdraw from Luoyang City with the palace. Dong thieves are rampant, the Han family is in danger, all the generals are loyal and brave men of the Han Dynasty, are they willing to protect the palace and the Son of Heaven to move to Xiangyang? ”
Jin Liang led the generals to the ground again: "The last general is willing to protect the Queen Mother's holy drive of the Son of Heaven!" ”
Only that military marquis, Han Yu, pulled his neck and shouted: "The last general is unwilling!" The last general is willing to follow Yuan Taifu to guard Luoyang City to protect the Han Dynasty Temple from being humiliated by Dong thieves! ”
This guy seems to be reckless, but the last sentence also contains evil intentions, and the implication is that you, Empress Dowager He and Young Emperor Liu Wei, abandoned Liu Hanzong Temple and fled to Xiangyang, how can such an act convince the people of the world.
Empress Dowager He had already discussed this issue with Jin Liang earlier, and when she was questioned by Han Yu in disguise, she did not panic, and said slowly: "There is a cloud in the Book of Rites, 'The country is in trouble, the monarch dies in the society, it is said to be righteous, and the doctor dies in the temple, It is said to be a change', but at this time and that time, now Dong thieves are rampant, harboring evil intentions, plotting against them, if the palace and the Son of Heaven stay in Beijing, they will be harmed by Dong thieves, Dong thieves are powerful, they have to retreat, go to Xiangyang, and then gather the princes of the world to discuss it, and then restore the old capital, is it better than dying because of a moment of blood and bravery? ! Yuan Kui is the Taifu, the Yuan family is deeply favored by the Han family, and the temple of the dead sect is the foundation of loyalty, and the palace should be complete! ”
The night before yesterday, Jin Liang had pretended to be the so-called Emperor of Heaven and Emperor Ling of Han, and told the Empress Dowager He about the sad fate of her and the Son of Heaven Liu Biao staying in Beijing, and the Empress Dowager He heard that she would be pushed downstairs by Li Ru and fall to death, the young emperor Liu Bian would be killed by a dove, and the Tang Concubine would be hanged by a samurai, and her face was so frightened that her face was like ashes. So he no longer doubted Jin Liang's intention to persuade her to evacuate Luoyang and move to Xiangyang. Empress Dowager He also knew from Jin Liang that Yuan Kui would be beheaded by Dong Zhuo's family in the future. I was very happy. I can't help but show a bit of ridicule in my words.
Han Yu and his brother Han Fu are both former officials of the Yuan family, loyal to the Yuan family, what is the queen mother in their eyes, hearing what the queen mother He said, he shouted angrily: "If the queen mother wants to go to Xiangyang, then go, forgive me Han Yu can't accompany me!" ”
As he spoke, he was about to walk out of the camp, but was stopped by Jin Liang, and Han Yu looked at him angrily. Jin Liang smiled and said to the other generals: "Everyone, if you have the same idea as Han Junhou, you don't want to escort you and don't want to go to Xiangyang, and you want to stay in Luoyang, please go out of this door, I, Jin Liang, will not be reluctant!" ”
The two Qu Junhou and the five tun chiefs stood up, hesitated for a moment, and saw that Jin Liang was smiling, not like he had any murderous intentions, so they followed Han Yu out of the military tent.
Jin Liang looked at the people. They are all caught fish after their repeated reorganization, and they originally couldn't see that they had anything to do with the Yuan family. Today's try, I tried them all, and then I glanced at Guo Jia, Guo Jia walked out of the military tent and whispered a few words to Cao Xing, who was guarding outside the tent.
As soon as the eight people led by Han Yu took a few steps, they were surrounded by Cao Xing's Ming Di battalion.
Han Yu said angrily: "Didn't you General Jin say just now, you will never force us!" ”
At this moment, Yulin Zhonglang put Huang Zhong with a bow and arrow, the arrow is very strange, composed of a blade and a collar, sewing a side of the ridge to avoid the arc concave, the cross-section of the collar is circular, Huang Zhong pulled the bow and released the arrow, the arrow shot through the sky, emitting a sharp and piercing whistling sound, the arrow was as fast as a meteor, right in Han Yu's throat, Han Yuyuan opened his eyes, pointed at Jin Liang and shouted: "You are so poisonous!" He fell to the ground with a thud and died of exhaustion.
Cao Xing's Mingdi camp heard the whistling, drew his bow and released arrows, and the arrows rained down, and the remaining seven generals couldn't dodge, and they were all shot into hedgehog shapes.
Except for Jin Liang's descendant generals, the other generals turned pale and dumbfounded.
At this time, Empress Dowager He received Lu Bu's hint from her gaze, and said with a smile: "Although Jin Qing said that he did not force them, this palace could not forgive them for the great crime of disrespect of the Son of Heaven!" Jin Qing, how to deal with these thieves' subordinates? ”
Jin Liang replied: "Returning to the Queen Mother, for such incidents, in order to prevent the army's morale from being chaotic, only the first evil will be removed, and the rest will not be asked. ”
Empress Dowager He nodded: "It's so good, these thieves' subordinates will be sent by Jin Qing." ”
Jin Liang then ordered to go down, and the state army surrounded all the subordinate tents of the generals just now, read out the edict of the Queen Mother, and let them accept the adaptation, dozens of cronies of these generals tried to resist but were all killed, and the rest were disgusted with the previous generals who were mean and unkind to themselves, and these soldiers received a heavy gold reward from Jin Liang, knowing that Jin Liang was a generous master, and there was no resistance to submitting to Jin Liang.
Jin Liang put these soldiers under his own command and the state army, and the official positions of those military marquis and tun chiefs were filled by the tun commanders and team rates in the Flying Tiger Army, and the original vacant tun commanders and team rates of the Flying Tiger Army were filled by the original deputy tun commanders and deputy team rates, and so on.
Jin Liang led the rest of the generals to the north side of the Xiaopingjin camp, pointed to the endless Xiaopingjin ferry, and said with a smile: "The Queen Mother is worried that you will refuse to go to Jingzhou because of your family property, so she asked me to send someone to escort your family property to Jingzhou, you don't have to worry, just follow Jin Liang to protect the Queen Mother's Son of Heaven to reach Jingzhou, and then call on the princes of the world to protect King Qin, and destroy Dong thief, then your official position will be much higher than now!" Please believe my Jin Liang's words today, support the Han family, and make contributions! These generals looked at the Xiaopingjin ferry from afar, and they all vaguely saw their families getting off the big cars and getting on the big boats on the Yellow River, and their own property was also moved to the boats. Lu Bu's close general, Song Xianzheng, led more than 1,000 soldiers to guard the property of these families.
Jin Liang added: "Your properties in Luoyang City have been resold by my father-in-law, Mr. Cai Yongcai, to other big families, and the money will be returned in full after you arrive in Xiangyang, so please relax." ”
These generals looked at each other, stunned for a while, and then invariably gave a big salute: "The last general is willing to advance and retreat with the general, save the world, and protect the Han family together." ”
Jin Liang laughed and said: "Let's work together sincerely, unite as one, and protect the Han family together." ”
As soon as Jin Liang's laughter fell, the deputy of the Red Loyal Guards led Lu Tong to arrive and shouted: "Lord, it's not good!" The girl was kidnapped. ”
Jin Liangru was slapped on the head, his brain buzzed, and he shouted: "Lu Tong, what are you talking about!" ”
Lu Tong said sadly: "Because the property of Master Yan Mu's family is very large, we used a lot of carriages, and also requisitioned a lot of coachmen, Diao Chan girl and two maids sat in a carriage together, our convoy is very long, Diao Chan girl's carriage is lagging behind, just half an hour later, I went to count again, and found that Diao Chan girl's carriage was missing, I led people everywhere to look for it, and it took a long time to find the carriage, the two maids were there, and Diao Chan girl was robbed by a few masked people. ”
Jin Liang clenched his fists and tried desperately to calm himself down, who robbed Diao Chan in the end?
The existence of Diao Chan, except for the people on Jin Liang's side, the rest is the Empress Dowager He, and the Empress Dowager He naturally won't do such a boring thing, who else? (To be continued.) )
