Chapter Ninety-Seven: Entering the City
"It turned out to be Wang Situ, and it was a courtesy. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info" Zhang Zaima bowed to Wang Yun on his back, and then said: "Zai heard that there was a rebellion in Chang'an, received a military order, and ordered a certain person to come to escort him. ”
Wang Yun scolded: "Your Excellency, as the state pastor of the imperial court and an important minister, how can you obey the orders of Dong Thief!" ”
Zhang Zai pretended to be stunned and puzzled: "How could it be Dong Zhuo's military order, not His Majesty's personal order, ordering a certain person to come and escort him?" ”
Wang Yun saw that Zhang Zai was pretending to be stupid, and he was helpless, this Zhang Zai's subordinates had just relieved the siege of Chang'an, and he couldn't turn around and take Zhang Zai down, besides, if Zhang Zai was forced to go crazy and lead his troops to leave in a fit of anger, if Li Dao and others came to attack again, this Chang'an really couldn't stop it.
Wang Yun took a deep breath and said: "Zhang Zhoumu was deceived by Dong thief, but now that Dong thief has been removed, he also asked Zhou Mu to eliminate the remnants of Dong thief, and His Majesty will have a heavy reward afterwards." ”
Then he looked at Zhang Zai's soldiers and horses, and then said: "Now there is no place for troops to be stationed in Chang'an City, and I ask the state pastor to forgive me and station my troops outside the city." ”
Zhang Zai disagreed, there was a precedent for Dong Zhuo, and the hundred officials in the city estimated that they would be wary of the armies in other places, which was also inevitable.
"There are too many enemy troops, and a certain force has not been captured, so I ask Situ to also send some soldiers and horses to help a certain force." Zhang Zai arched his hand, he only had 30,000 horses. To storm the battalion of 100,000 troops is to completely seek death.
Wang Yunke didn't dare to divide his troops out of the city, and excused himself: "This matter is very important, and I can't make the decision, so I asked the state pastor to set up camp first, and then make a decision after discussing with the princes of the court." ”
"Okay, then I'll wait for Situ's good news." Zhang Zai arched his hand, beat his horse back to the army, and at the same time ordered to camp under the city.
On the other hand, Li Wei returned to the camp and hurriedly recruited Jia Xu to ask for advice, and now there are still 50,000 soldiers and horses in Chang'an, plus the 30,000 elites brought by Zhang Zai, they are not opponents at all.
Jia Xu heard that the four of them were defeated, and asked him about it, but he didn't dare to slack off, at this time they were grasshoppers on a rope, unless he could secretly escape from the barracks, but he was followed by Li Dao's people, and he couldn't find a chance to escape, so he could only stay in the army with peace of mind.
Jia Xu thought for a long time and asked Li Dao about the details of the battle, and Li Dao and the others did not hide it, and told the process of the battle one by one.
After Jia Xu heard this, he always felt a little strange, according to common sense, Zhang Zai should not let the four of them go back to the camp so simply, especially in the final pursuit, he didn't put a feather arrow at all, which was too unreasonable.
Since he didn't figure it out, Jia Xu no longer drilled into the horns, but according to the current situation, he said: "General, it makes no sense to attack Chang'an again at this time, why don't you just retreat?" ”
Li Dao was a little unwilling, and finally organized this army, once he retreated, it was likely to fall apart, and if he wanted to assemble again, I am afraid it would be even more difficult.
"This ......" Li Dao frowned, and didn't speak for a long time.
Suddenly, Jia Xu seemed to think of something, pacing back and forth in the tent, and after about a quarter of an hour, he asked: "I heard that Zhang Zai's father-in-law was imprisoned by Wang Yun, I don't know if there is such a thing?" ”
Li Dao paused, then nodded and said, "According to the detailed report in the city, this is indeed the case." ”
Jia Xu immediately understood Zhang Zai's plan in his heart, but he didn't break it, after all, this matter has interests for both parties, so he continued: "If the general has any concerns, it is better to retreat to the previous valley first, station there first, and after Zhang Zai leaves, march again, how about it?" ”
"How did Mr. know that Zhang Zai would retire?" Li Wei asked.
Jia Xu shook his head and said: "All this is a guess, if it is right, it is better, if it is wrong, then Zhang Zai and Wang Yun will have a battle, we should not participate in it." ”
Li Wei thought about it and felt that Jia Xu's words were reasonable, so he agreed to Jia Xu's plan, recruited the other three, and arranged for the withdrawal of the army overnight.
At this time, in Chang'an City, Wang Yun and other ministers were discussing how to treat Zhang Zai.
On the one hand, they were very grateful to Zhang Zai, after all, they saved Chang'an City and relieved the siege of Chang'an, but on the other hand, they were afraid that Zhang Zai would become the second Dong Zhuo, so they didn't dare to recruit him into the city easily.
Huangfu Song said: "Zhang Zide brought troops to help, it is enough to see his loyalty, if he is not allowed to enter the city, I am afraid it will be cold." ”
Wang Yun shook his head and said: "This Zhang Zide is also a wolf ambition, otherwise he would not have brought troops to Chang'an, so he must be guarded against." ”
Ma Riyan, the Taifu on the side, said: "Zhang Zide's father-in-law Cai Yong is a loyal minister, if he invites him, I don't know if it is possible." ”
After Cai Yong was imprisoned by Wang Yun, Ma Riyan found Wang Yun and interceded for him, but unfortunately Wang Yun insisted on going his own way and couldn't listen to other opinions.
"Absolutely not! Cai Yong can't put it! Wang Yun shouted.
He killed Dong Zhuo, that is in accordance with the mandate of heaven, if Cai Yong is released now, isn't it a slap in the face, besides, Cai Yong crying Dong, in his opinion, it is completely rebellious, if he releases it without anything, it is not to admit that his actions are wrong, and he spent so much money to kill the national thief, and in the end it turned out to be a rebellion.
Lu Bu looked at the ministers in the court, a trace of disdain flashed in his eyes, and he said loudly: "Even if Zhang Zide is allowed to enter the city, there are tens of thousands of soldiers and horses in the city, and I am afraid that he will not be able to turn the sky upside down." ”
At present, most of the people in the court support Zhang Zai's entry into the city, especially Lu Bu, who does not even take Zhang Zai's entry into the city seriously, and Wang Yun can no longer act arbitrarily, so he can only agree to Zhang Zai's expulsion of Li Dao and others, and bring a small number of guards into the city.
At dawn the next day, Zhang Zai suddenly received a report that Li Dao and others had withdrawn their troops overnight and were now stationed in a valley hundreds of miles away.
In the camp, Wang Meng looked at the already empty barracks, and said: "What the lord said is really right, there are really capable people in this Li Dao's army." ”
Zhang Zai smiled lightly, but his eyes were on Chang'an, as if he was talking to himself: "I just don't know if Wang Yun and others let someone into the city." ”
Wang Meng was very close to him, and when he heard Zhang Zai's words, he didn't have a score in his heart, so he didn't answer Zhang Zai's words, but looked at Chang'an with him.
Less leaning, there was a soldier who led a small yellow door wearing a eunuch costume over.
Xiao Huangmen walked over, bowed to Zhang Zai, and said, "The governor is polite." ”
"I wonder what the angels are doing here?" Zhang Zai returned the salute and said.
"Your Majesty, please."
Zhang Zai and the others returned to the camp, and Zhang Zai stood at the door and said, "Wait a little bit, and a certain change of clothes will follow the angel into the city." ”
After changing into court clothes, Zhang Zai said to Wang Meng: "Please also ask Mr. to enter the city with him." ”
"It's as good as it gets."
