Chapter Fifty-Eight: Zhu Cao was defeated and beaten everywhere

After Cheng Yu arrested Dong Cheng that day, he found the edict from him. The pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info Originally, Wu Shuo had already confessed, and what he wanted to arrest Dong Cheng today was evidence, since the evidence was conclusive, then he could let go of his hands and feet.

In the hall of the Prime Minister's Mansion, Cheng Yu, Xun Yu, Guo Jia, Cao Ang, Li Dian, Le Jin and others were all there, and after everyone discussed with Cheng Yu as the leader, they arranged for the arrest of the thief.

Cao Ang led his troops to capture Wang Zifu, Chongji, Wu Zilan and others in the city, and took them together. Cheng Yu led the troops to raid Dong Cheng's mansion, and at the same time wiped out all Dong Cheng and his party among the guards. Li Dian blocked the four gates of Xudu, and at the same time personally arrested Tian Jing who had infiltrated the city. Lejin led the troops to surround the camp of the Northern Army and control the soldiers and horses of the Northern Army. Guo Jia rushed to Tongguan in the starry night to discuss with Xiahou Yuan about sending troops to Hedong.

Early the next morning, Xun Yu played the Ming Emperor and said: "Dong Cheng falsely passed on the holy decree and colluded with Tian Jing, the general of the expedition to the north, the captain of Changshui, the prince of Yuecai, the general Wu Zilan, and Wu Shuo, the general of Zhaoxin, intended to rebel. Now everyone has been bound, and only Tian Jing, the general of Zhengbei, has run away. Dong Cheng and others confessed to the crimes they committed, and the existing edict forged by Dong Cheng is here. Please also ask the Holy Majesty to decree the killing of these rebels and the destruction of their nine clans, so that those who have the intention of rebelling will have scruples in their hearts, otherwise my Han country will be in danger. ”

Emperor Xian had already heard about the chaos in the city last night, but Cheng Yu's people blocked the news in the palace, and he didn't know what had happened. Now that he heard Xun Yu say this, Emperor Xian knew that the matter had been revealed. Shocked in his heart, when he heard Xun Yu say that he wanted to kill Dong Cheng and others, Emperor Xian was so angry that he vomited out a mouthful of blood. Emperor Xian thought about how to save these people, and pretended to faint as soon as he had an idea.

The little yellow door next to him saw Emperor Xian fainting, and immediately ran over to support him, and then ordered someone to change the imperial doctor to come for treatment. As a result, the dynasty had to retreat temporarily. Xun Yu had no choice but to order someone to pass on the book to Cao Cao and let him return to Xu Du to preside over the overall situation.

After Emperor Xian returned to **, he immediately called Queen Fu and asked him to send a message to Luoyang Duwei to finish the ambush, so that he could quickly send troops to Xu Du to rescue him, and then rescue Dong Cheng and others.

Empress Fu shook her head, "Holy Lord, the matter has been revealed, and now the Cao thief party has long been prepared, even if my father can lead the troops to come, I am afraid that he will not be able to attack Xudu." And we can't pass on the news at all now, Cheng Yu has already controlled all the people and horses of the palace and the guard. ”

Emperor Xian said, "No, whatever you say, you have to pass on the news first." ”

At this time, a palace maid came to report, and the imperial physician Ji Ping asked to see her. Emperor Xian said, this transmission of news fell on this person. Ji Ping entered the palace of Emperor Xian and saw that Emperor Xian was not sick, which was a little strange.

Emperor Xian went straight to the point and told him that he wanted to kill Cao Cao, and asked Jiping if he was willing to serve the Han family. Ji Ping said in his heart, now I want to say that I don't want to, I'm afraid that I will immediately be in a different place, and I'm just afraid that I won't want to do something like poisoning and assassination. knelt on the ground and kowtowed, saying that he was originally serving the emperor and serving the Han Dynasty.

Emperor Xian was overjoyed, wrote a secret letter, sealed it with a wax pill and handed it to Ji Ping, and asked him to send the letter to Fu Wan. Ji Ping hid the wax pill in the medicine box, mixed it with other medicines, and then took the order to leave the palace.

Ji Ping returned to the mansion and told the people at home that he had gone out to collect medicine, so he quietly rushed to Luoyang.

In Luoyang City, Fu Wan is now sitting in front of Guo Jia with a big head. Guo Jia said with a smile, "Dong Cheng and others rebelled, and the general didn't know about it." ”

"That's nature, that's nature." Fu Mou has always been loyal to the saint and the court, my daughter is the queen, how can I rebel. ”

Guo Jia said with a smile, "Duke Ming knows that General Fu is a loyal and righteous person, and he will definitely not do such an unwise act. General Fu, I'm here to ask for your help. ”

Fu Wan said, "If there is anything, please talk about it." Tian Jing, the general of the expedition to the north, rebelled, and now he has fled to Jizhou. However, the two counties of Hedong and Pingyang were still under the control of Tian Jing. I'm here to borrow troops from General Fu. ”

Fu Wan smiled dryly, "I'm all coolies here to repair the city, how can I have any soldiers and horses?" ”

Guo Jia said with a smile, "General Fu's coolies are extraordinary, they are all equipped with standard armor and weapons, and General Fu is really too humble." After that, he turned to the guard beside him and said, "The queen mother misses her mother very much, come, why don't you ask General Fu's family to board the car and let them go to Xu Capital to stay for a while." ”

After Fu Wan, he wanted to stop it, but now that people are swordsmen and he is fish and meat, there is no ability to resist. Seeing that the family was taken away by Guo Jia's people, Guo Jia said to Fu Wan, "The general should hurry up and order troops to go to Tongguan with me, but don't let General Xiahou Yuan be in a hurry." ”

Three days later, all the Nanyang soldiers and horses stationed in Hongnong withdrew to the south bank of Luoshu and handed over the northern part of Hongnong to Cao's army. Xiahou Yuan and Fu Wan led 50,000 troops to attack Hedong, and Lianke Puban, Hebei, Yishi, Xie County, and Anyi were besieged. Lejin led the troops from Hanoi out of Kei Pass, attacking Dongyuan and Wenxi. Wang Dang, the defender of the Yizi battalion of the Hedong Army, surrendered to the Cao army. In the entire east of the river, only Huo Jun's Anyi was left defending, and it had not yet fallen. Not enough, Huo Jun only has 3,000 soldiers and horses, but I'm afraid he won't be able to hold it for long.

When Xu Shu got the news that Cao's army was attacking Hedong, he was also taken aback. But he didn't expect that his side would lose so quickly, and basically lose many cities without resistance.

When I asked the wounded soldier who fled back, I knew that there were many soldiers and horses of the Montenegrin army in the ambush army, and I went to Luoyang later. Guo Jia made them surrender by deception, deceived the trust of the defenders in the city, and then took the opportunity to seize the city, which is why they were defeated so quickly.

Hearing this, the generals of Hedong scolded that Fu Wan was not a person, if it wasn't for Hedong to support him at that time, how could he be where he is today.

Xu Shu stopped everyone and discussed the strategy of retreating. Now Tian Jing is not in Pingyang, and his life and death are uncertain, so he needs someone from the Flying Eagle to inquire about Tian Jing's news. As for the battle situation in Hedong, now that it is passively beaten, the top priority is to counterattack, first send troops to Anyi, and then keep Anyi.

Xu Huang had just returned from the Xiongnu and had exchanged for more than 5,000 healthy horses, and he had not yet had time to rush to Jingzhou to exchange for grain. Now it comes in handy. Xu Huang asked for 10,000 cavalry to go south to support Anyi for the vanguard. Zhang Yan couldn't hold his face because his subordinate Wang Dang surrendered to Cao's army, and he also wanted to lead his troops south to show his loyalty. The other generals, Wei Yan, Wang Ping, Wu Fang and others naturally did not show weakness.

When Xu Shu was hesitating who to support, he suddenly heard a report from the Flying Eagle spy that Anyi City had been breached. Xu Shu was shocked: "What do you say, Anyi City is high and deep, and Huo Jun is the best general, how can Anyi be breached." ”

The spy said, "The destruction of the city is true, and our people have seen it with their own eyes." I heard that the Taishou Wangyi did not want the people to suffer, so he led the officials in the city to open the door at night and let Cao soldiers enter the city. ”

Xu Huang next to him said angrily, "How dare Wang Yi be like this, if it were in my opinion, I should have killed this fight a long time ago and let our people be the guards." It's a pity that the general has not allowed it. ”

Xu Shu said, "What's the use of saying this at this time?" What happened to General Huo Jun? ”

The spy said: "Huo Duwei led his troops to break through the siege and was ambushed by Guo Jia, and now he is unknown about his life and death, and his whereabouts are unknown." ”

The generals were still ordered to attack Anyi, but Xu Shu stopped him. "It turns out that Anyi is in our hands, and we go to the rescue, whether it is a combination of inside and outside, or a two-sided attack, we have a chance of winning. Now that Anyi has been settled, Xiahou Yuan and Le Jin have converged, I am afraid that there are sixty or seventy thousand horses, and we can't beat it with a hard attack. ”

After thinking about it, he came again, "Wang Ping received the order, you led the Zhongzi battalion to guard Jiangyi, and Zhang Yan and Zhang Fang led the Yongzi battalion to guard Linfen." Cao Jun must be kept out of Pingyang County. The rest of the generals are repairing in Pingyang for the time being, and when they will send troops to wait for our generals. ”

As soon as these words came out, everyone was not very satisfied, and they used to obey him as a military advisor, but today they feel that he is too timid and is really not suitable to take charge of the military power in Hedong. In his heart, he was only afraid that Tian Jing would be able to turn around as soon as possible.

On the evening of the same day, Wei Yan pulled Liu Pi to find Xu Shu and said, "Today's military division only let us defend, but we are not allowed to attack. We were very unconvinced. I think the military advisor must have a plan, but the time has not yet come, so it is inconvenient to say that he will wait with me. I thought about a plan, and I wanted to talk to the military advisor, and the military advisor to see if it was feasible? ”

Xu Shu smiled, "Okay, you might as well talk about it." ”

Wei Yan said, "Before the general of Zhengbei, he insisted that Liu Pi build a water village, but I couldn't figure it out. Now this strategy is to land on the water village. I asked Liu Pi, although the navy has not undergone much training, but it also has nearly a thousand small boats. The water village is in Fenyin, where Cao Jun did not pay attention to it, and it is still in our hands. I want to lead 3,000 soldiers and horses to take a boat down the river to Pusaka, and then lead the troops to attack Tongguan. At that time, Xiahou Yuan will definitely return to the division to rescue. At that time, let General Xu Huang lead his troops south to attack from behind, and Xiahou Yuan would be defeated. When the time comes, the two sides will attack, and the lost territory in Hedong can be recovered. ”

Xu Shu was overjoyed when he heard this, "I don't want Wen Chang to have such a whimsy, but it's much more clever than my idea." He also asked Liu Pi if this was feasible.

Liu Bi said: "General Wei Yan invited me to come here for this matter, I have calculated myself, there is absolutely no problem with the existing ships transporting 3,000 soldiers and horses to Pusaka." ”

Xu Shu said, "Just follow Wenchang's strategy." In this way, the two of you have received the generals, and then go down and prepare. We will leave early the next morning. I didn't tell everyone about it first, so as to prevent the news from leaking out, but I lost the effect of the surprise attack. As for Xu Huang's side, don't worry, when the time comes, I will give him 10,000 cavalry and let him kill him happily this time. ”

Wei Yan and Liu Pi were walking out, and Xu Shu said, "The rise and fall of Hedong depends on the two generals, don't let me down." ”
