Chapter 472 Guanzhong General Mobilization (1) The First Update
From the Yang into the Yingchuan,. QīŊâ¤ãcīŊīŊ
But no matter which pass you pass through, if you want to reach Xuchang, you will inevitably have to pass through one place, that is, Yangzhai.
And to enter Yangzhai, you must pass through Yangxiang.
If Yangzhai is the gateway to Xuchang, then Yangxiang is the barrier of Yingchuan. It lives at the pass of Songyang Mountain, and the terrain is extremely dangerous. In the first year of Taiping, after the end of the Battle of Luoyang, due to the loss of the three passes, Cao Cao built a strong fortress in Yangxiang.
At the same time, in order to prevent Dong's sneak attack, Cao Cao also arranged a person to sit in Yuyang Township.
This person's surname is Lou Minggui, and his cousin is Zibo. A native of Wanxian County, Nanyang, he was outstanding in learning when he was young, and he traveled to Luoyang and became friends with Cao Cao, who was still the northern governor of Luoyang at that time. During the Yellow Turban Rebellion, he assisted Qin Jie in resisting the attack of the Yellow Turban thieves, and had a friendship with Dong.
However, Dong at that time was just white. Don't say he doesn't know who Lou Gui is, and Lou Gui won't look up to him.
After the end of the Yellow Turban Rebellion, Lou Gui escaped into Zhongnan Mountain in order to avoid Dong Zhuo's conquest, and became a hermit, known as Mengmei Jushi.
This man is very talented!
When the princes of the 22nd Route attacked Dong Zhuo, he knew that it was difficult for the princes to win. Then Dong Zhuo appointed Liu Biao as the pastor of Jingzhou, and Lou Gui took the initiative to go out of the mountain and went to Jingzhou with Liu Biao. With his reputation in Jingzhou, he did give Liu Biao a great help.
However, Liu Biao then compromised with Jingxiangmen, much to Lou Gui's disappointment.
At this time, Cao Cao rose in the north, and Lou Gui abandoned Liu Biao, defected to Cao Cao with his family, and planned many things for Cao Cao.
It's just that this person doesn't fight for power and profit, so his reputation in Xuchang is not obvious.
Cao Cao was very aware of Lou Gui's ability, and when he was considering the candidate for Zhenshouyang Township, he first thought of Lou Gui. And on the Han Emperor Liu Xie, Lou Gui was named the Marquis of Yangxiang, sitting in Yangcheng. Passing through the Songyang area. After Lou Gui arrived, he did a very good job.
Guan Yu occupied Fenqiu, and Lou Gui was the first to discover that the situation was not good.
But he didn't have many soldiers and horses in his hands, so it didn't have much effect on the overall situation of the entire Yingchuan. Cao Ren died in battle, Xuchang was besieged, and Lou Gui could only hold Yangxiang and could not do anything else. However, he believed that Xun would be able to hold Xuchang.
Of course, the premise is that Cao Cao can rush back as soon as possible......
But what should be done? Can you help Xun delay some time? Waiting for Cao Cao's reinforcements to arrive?
Lou Gui also felt very distressed. What he can do, on the one hand, is to defend Yangxiang and prevent Dong from taking the opportunity to sneak attack. On the other hand, sending a small group of men and horses to attack Yang Zhai caused some trouble to Guan Yu to a certain extent, making it impossible to free up his hands to take care of other things.
Besides. He really couldn't do anything about it.
The third day of the siege of Xuchang. Outside the city of Yangxiang, a person came, claiming to be Lou Gui's old man.
Lou Gui was thinking about a problem in the study, and when he heard that someone asked to see him, he couldn't help but be stunned. Old friend? At this time, who will come to ask for a meeting.
"What's that man's name?"
"Qiyuyang Township Marquis, people said that he was a native of Zhonglu in Nanjun County (now Nanzhang County, Xiangfan), and he had a friendship with adults for two lifetimes, and his surname was Kuai."
Rush? Friendship between two lifetimes?
Lou Gui came to his senses. It had to be him!
The so-called friendship between the two worlds must be just an excuse. The implication should be that Lou Gui had followed two people, one was Qin Jie and the other was Liu Biao. The same must be true for the people who came, plus the surname is Kuai. It's a Zhonglu person. The identity is about to come out.
Kuailiang, it must be him......
But he came to me at this time. And what does that mean? I heard that Kuai Liang has now taken refuge in Chang'an, and it is also prosperous.
Lou Gui thought for a while, "Take him to the living room to serve, and I'll be there later." â
Then, Lou Gui hurriedly sent someone to find his friend Xi Zhu. This Xijiao, who is also a native of Nanjun, has a lifelong friendship with Lou Gui. It's just that the utilitarian heart is too strong, and there are often villains. Lou Gui was appointed as the Marquis of Yangxiang, and after passing through the Songyang area, he invited Xi to be his shogunate. Don't look at the character of Xi Zhidi, it is indeed not very good, but in terms of talent, it is indeed outstanding.
Assisted Lou Gui to put the governance of the Songyang area in order, and was regarded by Lou Gui as his right-hand man. Kuailiang must have ulterior motives when he came. At this time, something like this happens,
After a while, Professor Xi walked into the study.
This practice, about fifty years old, was born with a graceful demeanor and an extraordinary appearance. Wearing a green shirt, the folding fan in his hand shook gently, and he was endless. There is always a warm smile on his face, but the eyes are slender and gloomy.
"Uncle Zi, what's the matter with coming to me in such a hurry?"
Lou Gui said: "Yuan Gan, Kuai Liang is here!" â
"Kuailiang? That Kuailiang...... Oh, you mean that Zhonglu Kuaizirou? He didn't go to Chang'an, why did he come to us? â
Lou Gui sighed helplessly, "Yuan Gan, it's time for you, you should be serious." Now that the prime minister is far away in Shanyang, Xuchang is trapped, and I am anxious. There is a tiger at the front door and a wolf in the backyard. With your wisdom, how can you not guess the purpose of that Kuailiang's coming? â
When Professor Xi heard this, he couldn't help but laugh.
"Zi Bo Mo is angry, but he can't tell the joke...... In fact, a few days ago, King Liang was assassinated in Chang'an, and I thought there was an article in it. Now it seems that King Liang wants to make a move. Kuai Liang must have come to lobby you, and listen to what he has to say, and then make a claim. â
Lou Gui frowned and nodded slightly.
The two walked into the living room together, and saw Kuai Liang standing in the hall, looking at a calligraphy and painting on the wall with his hands behind his back.
Hearing the sound of footsteps, Kuai Liang turned around. Seeing Lou Gui and Professor Xi coming together, Kuai Liang smiled, stepped forward and arched his hand: "Uncle Zi, Yuan Gan, has always been good?" â
Lou Gui said: "How can you be happier than the scholars of Chang'an University? â
Kuai Liang is now holding the position of a scholar in Chang'an Tai Academy, and on the surface he has no real power, but in fact, this Tai Academy is directly under the rule of Shi Tao, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, and is under the jurisdiction of the Ming Palace. This identity and status is definitely in a transcendent realm.
Lou Gui's words can't help but be ironic.
Kuai Liang was unconscious, and said with a smile: "Uncle Zi is still the same as he was back then." I'm a bachelor. But how can he compare to Yangxianghou? â
Lou Gui's Yangxiang Marquis was sealed by Emperor Liu Xie of the Han Dynasty.
But as everyone knows, the orthodoxy of the Han family is in Chang'an, and his name as a Yangxiang marquis is not right. Kuai Liang mentioned his title, which made Lou Gui feel stunned. looked at Kuai Liang suspiciously, but saw that his face was full of spring breeze, and couldn't help asking, "What does Zirou mean by this?" â
"Without him, I just want Uncle Zi to know, the position of Marquis of Yangxiang, King Liang and His Majesty. It's all recognized. â
His pupils shrank, and Lou Gui said, "Zirou, please make it clear." â
"Oh. King Liang heard that Zibo was talented, and he was quite fond of it. Therefore, I want to invite Uncle Zi to go to Chang'an and serve as the head of Taixue.
I don't know Uncle Zi, what do you think? â
Lou Gui sneered. "I'm afraid you want me to sacrifice Yangxiang."
Uncle Zi's words are wrong. Saying goes. The shore of the land is not the king's land. This world is the world of the Han family, and this Yang Township is also the Yang Township of the Han Dynasty. Now, the puppet emperor's luck has declined, and Cao Cao is blocked in Shanyang, and I am afraid that it will be difficult to do anything. King Liang thought that although the puppet emperor was a puppet emperor, he was a member of the royal family after all. If it falls after the supper. For my Han family, there is no half of the benefit.
Uncle Zi, you are a smart person, why do you do such a thing against the sky?
King Liang prepared to pass through Yuzhou to end the turmoil in the world...... This is the trend of the times, why not follow the trend. Bo Yi is rich? â
"Ridiculous!"
Lou Gui said coldly: "The prime minister defeated Yuan Shao in Juye. Hundreds of thousands of troops are afraid that they will arrive in Xuchang soon, so why worry about Dong? Besides. If I dedicate my Yangxiang at this time, how should the world say that I am Lou Gui? Zirou said this, don't say it again. â
In a way, Lou Gui doesn't have the upper hand.
Kuai Liang's sentence is good, this world is the world of the Han family, and Yangxiang is also the Yangxiang of the Han family. Dong now occupies the imperial throne and occupies the righteousness. From this point of view, although Lou Gui doesn't want to admit it, he has to admit that he is just a chaotic thief.
Therefore, Lou Gui didn't answer Kuai Liangdi's words at all, and only talked about Cao Cao's affairs.
Kuai Liang sneered, "Since King Liang has made up his mind, even if Cao Cao has an army of millions, he will not want to return to Xuchang." â
Lou Gui couldn't help but shudder in his heart.
What does Zirou mean by this? The prime minister and Dong have an agreement not to fight each other for five years. Now that only four years have passed, isn't it ......"
Kuai Liang's gaze was soft, and he sighed faintly.
"The so-called agreement is just to tear up the ground, who will really care? This is clear to Cao Cao, Liu Bei, and Yuan Shao, but my Liangwang is not clear? Uncle Zi, you are a smart person, you should know the general trend, so why bother to talk about this matter? â
"This ......"
Of course, Lou Gui also knows that the so-called agreement is just a piece of waste paper.
It's just that he didn't expect Kuai Liang to be so naked, and he said it without any disguise. This is different from when he was in Jingzhou. Feeling, at this time, Kuai Liang is more like the Kuai Liang who followed Qin Jie in the early years, and his words are unscrupulous.
The environment may really change a person.
Xi Yu said quietly: "Zirou, I won't say anything else, I heard that King Liang was assassinated, but is it true?" â
"What do you say?"
Kuai Liang smiled faintly, "Actually, King Liang Chitose doesn't want you to betray the master. It's just that Liu Bei Guan Yu is the enemy of King Liang. The two may not know that Lu Bu and King Liang are in-laws, and the wife of Prince Liang is the daughter of Marquis Wen. That Guan Yu used despicable means to murder Wen Hou. King Liang went to Xuchang, to put it bluntly, to avenge Wenhou. Therefore, King Liang only wanted to borrow from Yangxiang.
Zi Boyuan knew that if King Liang really wanted to fight, he was afraid that Yang Xiang would not be able to resist it for long.
King Liang didn't want to kill more, so he only beat Liu Bei Guan Yu, and did not move Yingchuan. If Cao Cao really has the ability to come back, King Liang said that he can return Xuchang to him. During this time, the two can lead the troops to watch. When the time comes, King Liang will withdraw, and you will be in charge of Yang Township again. â
This is a very nice thing to say, but Lou Gui and Xi Zhu know that it is just superficial work.
Now that Dong has made up his mind, Cao Cao wants to turn back to Xuchang, but I am afraid that it will be difficult.
Lou Guiyi gritted his teeth. "It is not difficult to borrow the word...... Dong got Xuchang, and he was never allowed to touch a single hair of the prime minister's family, how about it? â
"Although King Liang and Cao Cao were hostile, they also admired each other. Besides, how could a thousand years of measurement be magnificent, how could he do such an unrighteous thing? Otherwise, King Liang would not let the prince marry the daughter of Wen Hou, let alone avenge Wen Hou. The two should know, Wen Hou and Liang Wang...... Hey. â
Kuai Liang said half of it. Lou Gui and Xi Zhu also understood.
The two looked at each other and nodded slightly.
Xi Zhu suddenly said: "Zirou, you just said. Ryooh Chitose is determined to reclaim Kanto, but is it true? â
"It's not true, you two can wait and see. At most, it will not be three days, and I will close the army. It will definitely be able to attack Chenliu. Capture Nayu Prefecture. â
Lou Guixi listened to it, not only looking at each other. After Lu Su learned the news that Xuchang was besieged, he was also anxious.
On the one hand, he immediately sent people to Juye to report to Cao Cao, and on the other hand, he ordered the general Lu Chang and the others to sit in Chenliu. Although Yuan Shao was defeated, this emaciated camel was bigger than a horse.
In particular, Yuan Shao's Western Route Army did not suffer too many losses, and Han Qiong led 30,000 halberds to still sit in Fengqiu, looking down on Chenliu County. You can't be careless.
Lu Su quickly arranged the matter of Chenliu's defensive area, and then ordered the general Yang Wei to quickly dispatch troops and lead 8,000 elite soldiers to seize Xingyang.
Before Yang Wei set off. Lu Su repeatedly explained. "After the general seizes Xingyang, he must control all the materials in Xingyang. Then half of the soldiers and horses were left to guard Xingyang. You hold my tiger talisman and immediately rush to Xinzheng to take over the defense of General Xiahou Yuan, and ask General Xiahou Yuan to lead his troops back to Xuchang. At the same time that General Xiahou Yuan returned to Xuchang's aid, you had a mission, which was to cut off the connection between the Wei clan and Yang Zhai.
The general only needs to contain Liu Pi for three days, and I will lead the army to reach Xinzheng. Three days later, whether the general can contain Liu Pi again or not, it is the first achievement. This matter is very important, and it is also related to the safety of Xuchang, and the general is asked to be cautious and not to make mistakes. â
Yang Wei is a native of Longxi, originally a famous general in Xiliang, and once served under Niu Fu's account.
Later, Niu Fu was killed, and Yang Wei took refuge in Li Guobian. When Dong fought out from the Western Regions and captured Guanzhong, Yang Wei was persuaded by his friend Zhu Ci to take refuge in Cao Cao. Counting up, he should belong to Zhong Xuan's family, but it's a pity that Zhong Xuan's short-lived ghost ......
In the battle of Hangu Pass, Zhong Miao was beaten by Guanzhong.
Zhong Xuan died in battle and Zhu Ci died in battle, which made Yang Wei's position in Xuchang suddenly embarrassing. Fortunately, Lu Su accepted him later and has been obeying orders under the tent. Eight years have passed, and Yang Wei is already over forty years old, and he finally regained the opportunity to lead troops to the battlefield.
After hearing what Lu Su said, Yang Wei immediately intervened and saluted, "Rest assured, Wei is in Xinzheng on the first day, and Liu Bixiu wants to make a move." â
"It's so good, it's all up to the general......"
Yang Wei received the order, ordered all the soldiers and horses, and killed Xingyang from Chen Liu.
And Lu Su stayed in Chenliu, and after taking care of the big and small things, it was already the third day of Yang Wei's army. Lu Su took Xu Chu and led 50,000 elite soldiers, with Xu Chu as the front army, and rushed to Xingyang City. According to the time, Yang Wei should have arrived in Xinzheng at this time, and Xiahou Yuan should also return to Xuchang. For the first time, Lu Su felt that this time was really a little insufficient.
Starting from Chenliu, it took only a day and a half to arrive in Xingyang.
After Lu Su arrived in Xingyang, Yang Wei had already rushed to Xinzheng. However, before Yang Wei sent out his troops, everything in Xingyang had been taken care of.
Looking at the mountains of grain and grass in the treasury, Lu Su secretly sighed, this Yang Wei is also a good hand. In the past four years, Xingyang, as a self-owned trading city, has had many merchants coming and going, and has also gathered a large number of materials for trading.
Horses, ordnance, armor......
Especially in the treasury, three hundred well-mounted ballistae were found, which made Lu Su even more overjoyed.
This is a good thing, it belongs to the ordnance where the Guanzhong Railway Supervisor is prohibited from trading. I don't know which powerful person actually made 300 cars.
With this thing, Lu Su's heart has more confidence.
"Why don't you see the merchants?"
After Lu Su inspected Xingyang, he couldn't help but ask.
The soldiers who stayed in Xingyang said: "After General Yang Wei collected these materials, the merchants made a lot of trouble. In a fit of rage, the general drove the merchants of the city away. Now, there is no one in the entire Xingyang City except for those of us who stayed behind. â
I didn't see it, this Yang Wei is a fruitful person.
But that's fine, you don't have to worry about anything else......
Lu Su said to Xu Chu: "Zhongkang, early tomorrow morning, I will lead 30,000 people to Xinzheng. Xingyang will entrust it to you...... This time, we used troops suddenly, and Guanzhong failed to react for a while. But sooner or later, they're going to come to trouble, so you have to be careful. â
Xu Chu laughed, "Don't worry, Xu Chu is in Xingyang for a day, and the thief in Guanzhong doesn't want to step in." â
This guy is fierce enough, but it's not very reassuring after all. Lu Su sighed in his heart, and after inspecting with Xu Chu again, he went back to the mansion to rest. Running all the way is really tiring.
This night's sleep was very sweet.
But at the second watch, Lu Su was awakened by a noise.
He got up with a shout and came out with his clothes on. I only saw that in this Xingyang City, the flames were soaring into the sky. The sound of people shouting and neighing horses was deafening.
From time to time, shouts of killing were heard, accompanied by the sound of weapons colliding.
Lu Su hurriedly asked, "When did it happen?" â
"It's not clear, like, as if an enemy was found in the city."
Enemy?
How can there be enemies in the city?
The people and merchants of Xingyang City have already been driven away by Yang Wei. Now, except for 50,000 soldiers and horses, it seems impossible to blend in with the enemy?
Unless......
Lu Su suddenly gasped, and the spirit spirit shuddered: Unless, unless Yang Wei surrenders, the soldiers left behind are enemy troops.
"Notify General Xu Chu quickly!"
Lu Su hurriedly changed into armor and mounted his horse. led his own soldiers to rush out of the mansion, and saw Xu Chu rushing over with a group of people covered in blood.
"Strategist, something happened!"
"Zhongkang, are you alright......?"
Xu Chu didn't answer, but roared fiercely, "I don't know what's going on, all of a sudden, all of a sudden, the city is full of Guanzhong Army." â
