Chapter 19: Shaking the Court
But he said that after seeing Mu Nata turn around and break it, he couldn't help but feel sad, after all, Mu Nata was a fierce general under him, and his martial arts were extraordinary, but after this break, if he met Lu Bu, he was only afraid that he would be more than lucky. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info Dong Muhe is dead, and Mu Nata is afraid that he will die here. Even if he escapes, who will be able to deter his men? After all, the Xiongnu is still a world where the strong are respected, and they have lost their troops this time, and they have no strength to compete with Yufuluo, the king of Zuoxian!
Qiang Qu Shan Yu is seriously ill, and who the next Shan Yu is, in the final analysis, between himself and Yu Fuluo. In order to get a higher prestige, when he hit the Grass Valley this time, he dared to go deep into the Five Plains, and only then did he dare to besiege and sweep the city, and his strategy proved to be successful, who dared to say that he went to the Five Plains to fight the Grass Valley this time and did not return with a full load? Relying on this matter, his prestige can be regarded as unparalleled for a while, so where can Yu Fuluo compare with himself. But when he met this Lu Bu, he was full of interest, and personally led an army of 60,000 to encircle and suppress him, thinking of killing the first general of the state, and after the death of Qiangqu Dan, his position as a Hun Da Dan Yu is stable! But now, Dong Muhe and Mu Nata were killed in battle, and the 60,000 army was almost wiped out.
Look at your side, you have gathered the rout along the way, and there are only a thousand people so far, all of them are anxious, and it is really miserable. But it's about to run out, go and beat the spirit, flick the whip, and run faster. Looking back at the still burning Haas Valley, listening to the still loud shouts of killing, even if he was humiliated, he couldn't help but burst into tears. Defeat!
But before Qubei came out of his sorrow, he heard the sound of war drums, and the arrows on all sides flew like locusts, almost like overwhelming the sky, and Qubei immediately turned over and dismounted, hiding under the horse, and his war horse had become his shield at this time. After the feather arrows, there was a team of Han soldiers who came out in all directions, and the person who was the leader was not Li Zhu?
Li Zhu rushed to the Haas Valley four days ago, and obeyed Gao Ye's orders, and prepared the things that ignited the fire in the Haas Valley, just waiting for the Hun army. This afternoon, I received a report from the scouts that the Huns were sleepy and had been chased to the foot of Yin Mountain by Lu Bu and others, and Li Zhu had already ordered all the armies to get ready, and he took 500 people here to prepare for arson, and the remaining 1,500 people rushed to the north to set up an ambush. However, what surprised Li Zhu was that when the army of Qubei entered the ambush circle, almost the entire army was in a drowsy state, and did not probe around, nor did they step up the march, and then Lu Bu's herald knew that Lu Bu was now stationed in the mountain pass in order to make his ambush more successful, and he would kill him when the fire started.
Li Zhu saw that the time had come, and gave an order, and the rockets were all over the sky, and the army of Qubei was burned and scattered, Li Zhu'er heard the sound of Lu Bu's men and horses shouting and killing, and then rushed to the north with five hundred people, ready to meet his subordinates, although he took the mountain road, but he was confused for a while in the Haas Valley, and then he was shocked for a while, and he was not very neat when he ran, but he didn't expect to let Li Zhu rush to the north first, and then there was a time when Li Zhu led people to ambush. However, in an hour, the same person was ambushed twice, which is really unprecedented.
There were not many of these Hun soldiers, and they had been harassed by Lu Bu for so many days, coupled with a fire just now, a few rounds of arrow rain just now, where did they still have the strength to fight, Li Zhu's men and horses rushed in, and they didn't encounter any decent resistance at all. I wanted to escape, but my horse was just used as a shield by myself, and now it is already dead, how can I run? can only obediently be Li Zhu's prisoner.
Captured the Xiongnu Youxian King, what a merit! Li Zhu's joy at this time can be imagined, and when he saw that the battle was over, he directly took him to Beibei and went south to meet Lu Bu. The battle between Lu Bu and the others at this time was basically over, and the fire in Haas Valley gradually had a tendency to be extinguished. The army slowly withdrew from Sumu Mountain and returned to the camp at the mountain pass to rest. But after all, it was still on the grassland, and it was not really safe, so Lu Bu and the others did not let the sergeants start to celebrate, but rested in peace, and went to Yunzhong County from tomorrow. Celebrating such a thing, of course, has to be done back home.
The 60,000 army of King Youxian was wiped out, such a big victory, Wei You began to prepare for celebration since he received the good news from Lu Bu, and the wine and food were indispensable, plus the army also drove back a lot of cattle and sheep, not only in the barracks, but also the people of Yunzhong County joined the celebration queue. As for the army, all-night revelry has become inevitable. Except for the soldiers who sent the news to Jinyang, who were riding horses on the road, the rest of the people were already in the camp, lighting bonfires, cooking cattle and slaughtering sheep, and began to feast.
In Wei You's Taishou Mansion, Lu Bu, Gao Ye, Song Xian, Hou Cheng, and Li Zhu were all there, and Wei You even took out the wine he bought out of his pocket, a burning knife with water, and six people pushed the cup and changed it. Especially Li Zhu, after drinking this wine, he was even more emotional, I have always heard that there is such a fine wine, but it is too expensive, and I can't afford to drink it on weekdays.
Lu Bu laughed and said that this wine Gao Ye often gives him some, if you want it, please also ask Gao Ye to give it to you. "Besides, there is one thing you don't know, this wine was originally brewed by his family, this year Wuyuan Taishou Governor Zan entered Beijing to take up his post, and also brought a lot of tribute to His Majesty, and now this wine is already a tribute wine ordered by His Majesty!" Lu Bu laughed.
"I don't want to be a high lieutenant, but I am strong in martial arts, I use soldiers like gods, and I have such a means to make money." Song Xian praised, "If my brother wants to drink in the future, it's all up to you." ”
After this dispatch, Song Xian and Hou Cheng have long been familiar with Gao Ye, and Gao Ye is not difficult to get along with, but always has witty words when chatting, and everyone talks happily, so Song Xian jokes that Gao Ye has no psychological obstacles at all. Gao Ye is not stingy, and immediately said that in the future, during the New Year's holidays, the family will give a twenty catties, which is a trivial matter, and the wine brewed by himself is not a precious thing. When everyone heard Gao Ye say this, the atmosphere suddenly became more enthusiastic, Song Xian, Hou Cheng, and Li Zhu frequently toasted Gao Ye, and even Wei You couldn't help but pull Gao Ye to have a drink, without him, who made this wine too expensive.
The news of Lu Bu's army's triumphant return is already well known in Bingzhou, so on the way to Jinyang, it is not the people who cheered. Since Ding Yuan received the good news of Lu Bu's victory, he sent someone to send an order, asking Lu Bu to lead the army directly to Jinyang, and he wanted to celebrate the army.
After learning about the battle situation from Lu Bu and others, Ding Yuan's mouth was also smiling, and he lined up on Gao Ye's shoulders vigorously, saying that there was a successor to Xiu's brother, and said on the spot that he would recruit Gao Ye to serve as the chief bookkeeper under his account. Gao Ye still used the reason of filial piety to excuse himself, but Ding Yuan said, you are now a captain, in charge of a battalion of soldiers and horses, and now that you have made great achievements, it is reasonable to be promoted. Gao Ye was helpless, and after finally bargaining with Ding Yuan, he finally accepted the position of captain in Wuyuan, on the one hand, to protect the family and the country, and on the other hand, to continue to keep filial piety for the master, and at the same time teach Guo Jia and others. As for Wei Xu, who was originally in Wuyuan, he was directly transferred to Lu Bu's command.
Luoyang in the early morning, with the rising of the sun, the sound of selling along the street has been endless, the plan of the day lies in the morning, although this sentence is hundreds of years later, the great writer Xiao Tong of the Liang Dynasty during the Northern and Southern Dynasties wrote in the "Compendium", but it does not prevent people at this time from having such thoughts. After all, it's always the first thing to think and then to record.
Of course, like these busy people, the ministers above the court are also very busy, but the main thing they are busy with now is quarrels. Since Lu Bu's first good news came, the ministers of the DPRK and China had already put down a hundred hearts towards Lu Bu, thinking that he would also stop and return to the army. Who knew that a few days later, there was a document again, saying that the Xiongnu Youxian Prince led tens of thousands of troops to encircle and suppress Lu Bu, and at this time, the hearts of the ministers were hung up, thinking that it would be good for Lu Bu to lead the army to escape back this time, who knew that this Lu Bu was actually crazy and wanted to fight with this one, which is simply unreasonable. The court has been arguing for several days, and the imperial historians led by Ding Gong are all acting recklessly in Lu Bu, losing their teachers and humiliating the country; Sam Ding didn't know the general situation, and he was messing around. As a result, the generals led by Huangfu Song refuted with a split head and face, and there was no defeat yet, what did they say about losing their teachers and humiliating the country?
After arguing for a few days, the ministers are no longer arguing not for this matter, but for the camp behind them, or even for the sake of arguing. Ding Gong wants to die Lu Bu wants to lose his teacher and humiliate the country, after all, Lu Bu is only 8,000 people, and there are 60,000 people, no matter how you look at it, it is the end of eggs hitting stones. And He Jin and others repeatedly refuted, and they were convicted arbitrarily without knowing the actual situation, and Ding Gong was vainly the imperial historian, and he should be exiled for thousands of miles to set an example. As for Zhang Rang, he naturally didn't say a word, if he said a word in the court, and the hat of a eunuch doing politics was buttoned down, other things would not be a thing. It was enough to have Ding Gong in front to speak for him.
As for Liu Hong, he was also entangled, for him, Lu Bu fought well in front, and his record of annihilating 5,000 people was also good, but when he came to humble, even he felt that Lu Bu was more than lucky. But if you want to say let Lu Bu escape back, Liu Hong is not reconciled, if this Lu Bu escapes, it will damage my Han Tianwei, but if it is defeated, it will hurt my Han Tianwei even more. At this moment, Liu Hong suddenly regretted a little, why not ask him to come back early, the province is now in a dilemma.
But at this time, a little eunuch hurriedly ran in, knelt down and reported: "Your Majesty, and the state military report." As he spoke, he lifted the tray, and in the tray was Ding Yuan's urgent report. Zhang Rang hurriedly walked down to take the tray, walked back, and presented it to Liu Hong, Liu Hong hurriedly picked up the military newspaper, looked at the seal intact, and then opened it, and read the military newspaper at a glance, already smiling.
The ministers under the hall naturally stopped arguing, and they were all looking at Liu Hong's face, only to see that Liu Hong was already overjoyed when he saw it, He Jin, Huangfu Song and others were all relieved, it seems that Lu Bu played well.
After Liu Hong finished reading it, he laughed out loud and said: "Ladies and gentlemen, Lu Feng first faced the battle and won a complete victory, and the 60,000 horses and horses of the Qubei army were wiped out, and he himself was captured alive and sent to Luoyang in a few days!" ”
After Liu Hong said this, He Jin and the others' happy faces had become ecstatic, and Ding Gong's gloomy face was even more gloomy. Ding Yuan not only wrote about the achievements of Lu Bu and others in this good news, but also explained very clearly how each battle was fought, what tactics were used, and what strategies were used. Therefore, the length of the good news is very long, and it takes enough time to read a stick of incense, and Zhang Rang can be regarded as finishing this good news.
Huangfu Song listened and nodded, he was the number one general in the court, and the art of war was in this court, if he considered himself second, no one dared to admit that he was the first. Huangfu Song listened to this good news, as if he was also on the battlefield, every scene passed in front of his eyes and mind, and he couldn't help nodding frequently about these tactics of Lu Bujun, and the flexibility of using troops was nothing more than this.
Zhang Rang thought about it, and Lu Zhi took the lead in speaking: "Congratulations to Your Majesty, the border pass has won a great victory, the Huns are afraid of my Han Tianwei, and they will not dare to make another mistake, and the ministers will congratulate Your Majesty!" ”
Lu Zhi said, the ministers shouted, and they all made a big salute, saying that they congratulated His Majesty. Liu Hong listened to the congratulations of the ministers, and was even more happy, and also sighed: "This Lu Fengxian is really good, I didn't expect this great victory." ”
At this time, Huangfu Song interjected: "I don't know if Your Majesty can find out that Ding Jianyang praised this high night Gao Mingxi this time, and in an excerpt, it is all about how this person makes plans, how to fight, and how to strategize, but for his son, there is only one sentence of combat bravery, Your Majesty, Ding Jianyang is recommending talents to His Majesty." ”
"Well, this high night I know, the tea and wine that Du Zhan paid tribute to when he came were made in accordance with the ancient law of this high night, and he also cited filial piety, at that time I wanted him to come out to be an official, but his master had just passed away, and he was only sixteen years old, he refused Ding Jianyang's expedition on the grounds of filial piety, plus he was still young, and refused Ding Jianyang's conquest, this time if it wasn't for the Huns who provoked him to fire in his heart, I see, he would not have joined the army, and Lu Fengxian would have attacked together. This time he promised Ding Jianyang to defend the Five Plains, I think that's it, in the future, when he is older, and has military merits, he will be promoted again. Yizhen I know that you are from a family of Jiangmen, your father was the Taishou of Yanmen, your uncle was the general of Duliao, you are also a family scholar, you are a very knowledgeable soldier, you tell me, after all, this Gao Ye is still very young, do you think it is appropriate for him to guard the Wuyuan, can you keep me at the border? ”
"Back to Your Majesty, the minister thought that this high night, although young, but can be said to know the art of war, with 8,000 against 60,000, full of tricks, so that all victories, and martial arts are outstanding, with him in Wuyuan, when you can keep Wuyuan safe. Thinking about the record of this battle, this high night can also be like Zhidu, Wei Shang, Cheng Buzhi, and Li Guang, so that the Huns are famous and fled. Huangfu Song praised.
"Just listening to this son's achievements, the minister has longed for it, and I think that my big man is going to have a famous general again." Zhu Jun also praised on the side, "Did you say, Lord Ding?" ”
Ding Gong had a black face on the side, and he had worked hard for so many days to participate in Lu Bu, saying that he was going to lose his teacher and humiliate the country, who would have thought that Lu Bu would actually win! This is embarrassing, he is on Zhang Rang's side, and he is mostly disliked in the court, and this time he offended Ding Jianyang, a foreign minister, and his situation is even worse than that of Lu Bu, who was facing humility at that time, right?
Suddenly hearing Zhu Jun ask himself like this, it was really embarrassing, but under the current situation, what else could he say?
"Your Majesty, the minister thinks that your lordship is reasonable, this time Lu Bu's victory is naturally very happy, but how to reward it, please consider it. After all, it is a great crime for Lu Bu to send troops privately, and if he is not punished, he is afraid that it will be difficult to meet the majesty of the law. ”
Liu Hong playfully glanced at Ding Gong, and then at Zhang Rang, Zhang Rang naturally lowered his eyebrows and stood quietly beside him, but Liu Hong still gave Zhang Rang a playful smile, and then said: "Lu Bu sent troops privately this time, and the sin is unforgivable, but I remember that there is a reason for his affairs and a great victory, and the merits and demerits are offset, how about it?" ”
"Your Majesty Shengming!"
