Chapter 67 - Expedition
Just like what Cao Cao said, if Han Fu makes some small moves behind the back of Han Yan and others, there will really be no way out for the hundreds of thousands of people in the coalition army. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info Besides, Han Fu is in Jizhou, and it is not easy to find trouble with him.
After figuring out the problems here, everyone couldn't help but question Yuan Shao's plan at the same time.
But Yuan Shao is still Yuan Shao after all, although Yuan Kui's death made him feel a sense of crisis, but he was able to get to this point today not all by relying on Yuan Kui's guidance behind his back, at this time in the face of Cao Cao's question, Yuan Shao smiled slightly, and said: "Meng Demo should be too worried, what Han Fu wants is the second merit after capturing Luoyang, if we can't capture Luoyang, then what he wants will not be in vain?" ”
"But...... The capture of hundreds of thousands of horses seems to be a lot of credit to Dong Zhuo, right? ”
Compared with Yuan Shaobi's optimism of knowing where it came from, Han Yan felt that there were many problems in this matter, and if Han Fu wanted to switch to Dong Zhuo, this problem would be big.
"Nope! There is no possibility that Han Fu will switch to Dong Zhuo. ”
I don't know why, after Han Yan finished speaking, Cao Cao changed his previous state and spoke for Yuan Shao.
"Is there a possibility? Brother, why do you say that? Could it be that there is something that can't be resolved between Han Fu and Cao Cao? Besides, this Han Fu's Jizhou Mu seems to have been appointed by Dong Zhuo, right? In this case, why is it impossible for him to take refuge in Dong Zhuo? ”
After recalling it carefully, Han Yan really couldn't think of any reason why Han Fu had to go against Dong Zhuo, after all, one was a state pastor, and he was appointed by Dong Zhuo after Dong Zhuo took office, and it was actually normal for Han Fu to take refuge in Dong Zhuo.
And now that Han Yan already knows the news, it is clear that those who are on Dong Zhuo's side, in addition to Ma Teng, the anti-thief of Qianxi Liang, there are also Liaodong Taishou Gongsun Du and others. There are still official correspondence with Dong Zhuo, and there are a group of people led by Shi Taoqian, the assassin of Xuzhou. Even if there is no statement, there are a large number of people such as Youzhou Mu Liu Yu, Luzhou Taishou Lu Kang, Liu Miao, Jiaozhou Thorn Shi Zhu Fu, Jiaozhi Taishou Shixie, etc.
Under such circumstances, if Han Fu took refuge in Dong Zhuo at this time, Han Yan would not be surprised at all.
"You have a letter and you are right, Han Fu's Jizhou Mu was indeed appointed by Dong Zhuo, but you must know that after Dong Zhuo appointed the officials, Han Fu was helping us, which is already a blatant tear with Dong Zhuo, in this case, even if Han Fu wants to switch to Dong Zhuo, where is he Dong Zhuo so tolerant and generous? Therefore, Han Fu's position is okay, and what is problematic is his determination. ”
Cao Cao shook his head and refuted Han Yan in reverse.
I have to say that Cao Cao's analysis is very reasonable. Like Han Fu, there are not a few people who rebelled after being appointed by Dong Zhuo, and these people want to stand by Dong Zhuo's side again, and the problem is indeed not small.
However, Han Yan was always a little uneasy, "Although the possibility is relatively small, I don't know about Han Fu, if I am not completely sure, I don't think this matter can be decided so rashly!" ”
"Are you worrying too much about it? Han Fu is responsible for supplying us with grain and grass, so we can use the ones he sent first! In this way, our own grain and grass will be saved, and even if there is any problem, will we not be able to support ten days and half a month? For ten days and half a month, what is the difficulty of going to other states and counties to transfer grain and grass? Therefore, this arrangement is actually seamless! ”
The more Yuan Shao spoke, the louder he became, as if his confidence was also born from his own words just now.
"This ...... If you've decided, then I'm not going to say anything more, but ...... I won't give up my headquarters anymore this time! ”
Taking a deep breath, Han Yan didn't argue with Yuan Shao and Cao Cao anymore, after all, there were only five thousand people under him, and the impact of his agreement or disagreement on this matter was basically nothing, and the only thing he could do was to show his attitude.
"Hmmm! Rest assured, that kind of thing will never happen again! ”
Seeing that Han Yan was relieved, Yuan Shao was overjoyed, and immediately patted Han Yan's shoulder and promised, but what he was looking at was Cao Cao not far away.
In the face of Han Yan's other words, as well as Yuan Shao's very obvious demonstration, Cao Cao could only choose to remain silent, after all, it was indeed himself who was at the loss.
"That's it! Let's first count how many soldiers and horses each has in their hands! ”
Glancing at everyone, Yuan Shao put away the smile on his face and began to become serious.
"This ...... I still have more than 6,000 remnants of soldiers under my command, and I have recently replenished a lot of food and grass, so I should still have the strength to fight. ”
Feeling that Cao Cao beside him didn't mean to object, Bao Xin spoke first.
"There are 5,000 capable warriors under him, and there are three generals!"
Compared with Bao Xin's somewhat complicated report, Han Yan's words were much simpler, but they also surprised everyone present.
Generally speaking, there are almost no generals among all walks of life, but there are few people who can say the number of three people like Han Yan. For example, Cao Cao, although he has a large number of capable warriors such as Cao Hong, Cao Ren, Cao Chun, Xiahou Xuan, Xiahou Yuan, etc., it is difficult to say that he is a general, after all, in addition to leading the troops, personal combat power is also extremely important, but unfortunately, Cao Cao's combat power is superb, and now in addition to a Xiahou Dun can barely be counted, it is also a Yu Ban who has just been included in his command.
Chen Gong, who was standing on the side, looked at Han Yan quietly, as if he was surprised that the number of Han Yan's subordinates had increased instead of decreasing, and he might also have a trace of regret.
"Hmmm! There are a lot of people under the two of them, so what about you, Mengde? A few days ago, you went to Yangzhou and other places to recruit troops, how many people did you recruit back? How many people are there now? ”
As if he had everything in his chest, Yuan Shao was not surprised at what Han Yan and Bao Xin said.
It was Cao Cao, who hesitated for a while, and then said: "When I was in Chenggao before, my men and horses suffered heavy losses, and this time I only recruited two thousand, and roughly speaking, it should be enough for ten thousand." That...... What about you? ”
"Me? I don't have many men under my command, only 30,000. ”
Speaking of his own situation, Yuan Shao was obviously interested, but it seemed that in order to maintain the image of the 'alliance leader', Yuan Shao didn't explain too much.
Just when Han Yan and the others were discussing how to march to the Revolving Gate Pass, a new guest was ushered in in Luoyang City.
Looking at the slightly dilapidated and vicissitudes of the city wall in front of him, Kong Rong's heart was full of mixed feelings, he didn't know what to say, if he had known that this would be the case today, then why did he let go of the good Beihai and came to this kind of place to suffer? It's all to blame on that Han Yan! If it weren't for him, Kong Rong wouldn't have been so confident that he felt that he could defend Beihai and at the same time come to Luoyang to make meritorious deeds. Therefore, in this regard, Kong Rong now hates Han Yan extremely much, even to the point of jealousy.
In other ways, Kong Rong also misses Han Yan more now, especially when he saw the ragged You Heng being brought to him, Kong Rong already understood that there would be no reinforcements, rescuers and the like to come to him.
Yes, at this time, there is only You Heng who is by Kong Rong's side.
If you want to say that you are tenacious, or should you say that he is dead-headed. After letting Han Yan squeeze out with words, You Heng kept walking in the direction of Chenggao and never looked back for a moment. Maybe it's for the sake of face, maybe it's really for Kong Rong's 'grace of knowing the encounter', in short, You Heng came to Chenggao outside the city with his legs like this.
You Heng, who has been gone for I don't know how many days, fainted directly to the ground the moment he saw the city gate, if it weren't for his tattered clothes and a trace of wealth and wealth, the people guarding the city would never care about his life or death. And just after You Heng woke up and revealed his identity, he was naturally brought to Kong Rong.
Thinking about the suffering he has suffered these days, You Heng has a thousand words in his heart that are difficult to say, so You Heng didn't say a word to Kong Rong.
However, Kong Rong had already sensed the clues from the clothes on You Heng's body and the face on his face, and after sighing lightly, he didn't say anything more.
Cheng Gao's guard Xu Rong, since he lost Cheng Gao because of the pursuit of Han Yan and Cao Cao, he led people to be stationed in Xingyang, but because he later intercepted Kong Rong, Xu Rong wanted to bring Kong Rong back to Luoyang to invite merit.
After coming and going, Xu Rong made up his mind and led his cavalry to the revolving gate, but when he passed by Cheng Gao, he found something strange - Cheng Gao, who had been occupied by Han Yan and others, had already gone to the city at this time.
Xu Rong, who saw this situation, was overjoyed, and immediately turned around Xingyang and took the men and horses of his headquarters to Chenggao. The purpose of escorting Kong Rong is to make up for the merits, but now that Cheng Gao has lost and recovered, Xu Rong has no reason not to sort out everything in Cheng Gao first. However, because Cao Cao and the others did some damage when they left Chenggao, it took Xu Rong a while to tidy up Chenggao.
After waiting for Xu Rong to free his hand, he rushed to Luoyang with Kong Rong.
At this time, looking at Kong Rong who was stunned in front of him, Xu Rong was a little impatient, dodged a spear of the soldier next to him, turned the head of the gun upside down and slapped Kong Rong's shoulder with the body of the gun, and said coldly: "My Beihai Xiang!" I advise you not to think too much, when you get to this place, let alone a big living person, even if it is a bird, don't want to fly out! ”
"Thinking too much? What did I think? What do I have to think about being able to accompany the Son of Heaven in Kyoto? It's you, the general, when you come back this time, I'm afraid you'll have to be reprimanded! ”
Hearing Xu Rong behind him speak, Kong Rong smiled and turned around, without the slightest fear on his face.
"You ......"
was refuted by Kong Rong, Xu Rong suddenly became angry, but he couldn't find the words to refute Kong Rong.
As Kong Rong said, although it was said that Xu Rong captured him, Xu Rong had no way to do anything about him. Because Kong Rong is not only one of the Eighteenth Route Alliance, but also a descendant of the Holy Master Confucius, and a famous Confucian, in this case, even if he is killed by mistake on the battlefield, who dares to do anything to him after he is captured? Don't say it's him Xu Rong, even if he sends Kong Rong to Dong Zhuo, Dong Zhuo still doesn't dare to attack him, without him, the reputation of killing Confucianism is really bad.
Even if Dong Zhuo abolished the Son of Heaven before, it was a model of his predecessor Huo Guang, and he dared to carry out it with the edict of the first emperor. Although I don't know whether the 'edict' in Dong Zhuo's hand is true or false, this edict represents legal principles. Even if Han Yan and others organized a coalition army, they did not use Dong Zhuo's abolition of the Son of Heaven as an excuse, but said that he controlled the government and set up the Son of Heaven.
Kong Rong understood this truth very well, so not only was he not afraid, but he could laugh happily. And Xu Rong also understood this truth, so he didn't have too much harsh criticism of Kong Rong, but looking at Kong Rong's little face at this time made Xu Rong's heart very irritable.
"Humph! Don't forget, you haven't entered the city yet! ”
With a cold snort, Xu Rong said angrily.
"Oh? So what? I've arrived at the gate of Luoyang, General Xu, how dare you ...... me?"
Before the last word 'like' was spoken, the gun in Xu Rong's hand had reached Kong Rong's shoulder again, only to hear the sound of 'pop', Kong Rong fell to the ground, and he couldn't say any more.
"What do you dare to do? As long as you don't meet the Son of Heaven for a moment, Lao Tzu will dare to kill you, not to mention that you haven't even entered Luoyang now! Do you believe it or not? North ~ Sea ~ Phase! ”
When Xu Rong said the end, it was obvious that he was deliberately humiliating Kong Rong.
In the face of Xu Rong's reaction, Kong Rong slowly stood up with the support of You Heng beside him, but he didn't dare to say more.
"You ......"
You Heng couldn't see it, and he stepped forward to refute Xu Rong.
However, Kong Rong grabbed You Heng in time, looked at Xu Rong's eager expression, and said indifferently: "As a rebel, the death and injury in the battlefield are fateful, although people are still alive now, but what is the difference between death and death?" The general is right, he is being rude! ”
"Humph! Count you as acquaintances! ”
Seeing that Kong Rong softened, Xu Rong didn't make any more trouble, shook the reins, and went straight to Luoyang City.
"Your ......, my lord"
Looking at Kong Rong, who had some vicissitudes of life, You Heng couldn't help but exclaim.
"It's okay...... No problem......"
Kong Rong waved his right hand lightly, followed behind Xu Rong, and was escorted by his subordinates to Luoyang City.
It's just that in You Heng's eyes, Kong Rong seems to be dozens of years old for no reason......
