When Ma Teng sent troops to Queyin, Cao Cao led an army of 30,000 and arrived

Although it is said that after Li Daoguo withdrew from Yang, Cao Cao had already occupied this ancient capital. /.0M\\But because Jingzhao is very sensitive, in order to avoid excessive stimulation of Yuan Shao, Cao Cao did not send troops and horses to Yang.

In other words, in the past few years, although Yang was under Cao Cao's rule, it was actually a city that was not taken care of.

The once prosperous Yangcheng has long been dilapidated.

The glorious imperial city looks like a pile of ruins, like a ruin.

The population of Jingzhao has decreased sharply, and most of the wealthy families living in Yang have migrated out of Yang with the turmoil of the times.

Or to Jingxiang, or to Bashu......

Of course, there are some people who will go to the Western Regions of Shuofang, but in comparison, they are only a very small number of large households.

The people who stayed in Yangcheng were ordinary people who had lived in Yangcheng for generations.

The glory of the past no longer exists, and people can only rely on memory to recall the glorious and prosperous life in the early years.

In the middle of May of the fourth year of Xingping, Emperor Liu Xie of the Han Dynasty returned to Yang under the escort of Yang Biao and Huang Wan, the imperial lieutenant.

I thought I would be able to seek a decent life in this ancient capital. But when Liu Xie arrived in Yang, he found that there was nothing left in the capital, and a large group of people were guarding the dilapidated imperial city, unable to even solve the problem of food and clothing.

No one knows what kind of thoughts these people have in their hearts at the moment.

Yang Biao Huang Wan, Ma Riyan finished ambushing. All of them hung their heads, and from the moment they entered Yang City, no one spoke. Messengers were sent to ask for help, but none of the princes showed a particularly positive attitude.

Day after day, everyone's hearts are filled with despair.

Cao Cao jumped off the scene outside the Qingzuo Gate.

Xu Chu and a nine-foot-tall man. Top armor. Immediately behind Cao Cao. Walk towards the Garter Hall.

The big man's name is Cao Peng, Cao Cao's own brother, twenty-seven years old, and he is in the prime of life. Good at making a Phnom Penh Kaishancheng, weighing seventy-eight pounds, born with divine power, visited the world's famous teachers when he was a teenager. Martial arts are strong.

When Cao Cao pacified the Bian Zhao Rebellion, Cao Peng happened to be Yicheng going down the mountain.

In the first battle after defecting to Cao Cao, he slashed Bian Zhao with his hands, made great achievements, and was named the captain of Zhechong by Cao Cao, and together with Xu Chu, he served as his personal guard. This Cao Peng has the courage to be unstoppable. He once fought with Xu Chu for 100 rounds. The last resort was defeated. Among the generals under Cao Caodi, but in terms of force, they can be ranked in the top six.

Cao Cao walked up to the Hall of Virtue. After meeting Emperor Liu Xie of the Han Dynasty, he hurriedly ordered people to bring food, so that the Emperor Han and others could settle down first.

The ministers expressed their gratitude to Cao Cao.

At the same time, it also euphemistically said that Yang is the ancient capital of the Han Dynasty, and its current appearance is really ...... Also ask Cao Cao to repair it.

Cao Cao did not refuse, nor did he agree.

After just vaguely fooling the past, he bid farewell to Emperor Han and walked out of Qingzuo Gate with Xu Chu and Cao Peng.

The temporary marshal's mansion is set in the Taishi's mansion in the Yingchun Gate.

Guo Jia did not come, and Yi and Cheng, as the advisers of the Han Emperor this time, had already cleaned up the Taishi Mansion.

Seeing Cao Cao coming back, he hurriedly welcomed him into the mansion.

"Lord, what are we going to do next?"

Yi and Cheng did not ask about the situation of Emperor Han. In fact, for the two of them, the Han family has reached the point where it is now, and it is just a matter of extinction. The Han Emperor in the imperial city was, to put it bluntly, just a puppet.

There's no need to waste your tongue for that guy, their lord is Cao Cao.

Cao Cao closed his eyes slightly, sat on the big chair, closed his eyes and groaned.

Suddenly, he spoke: "How prosperous the sun was in the past, but it has fallen to the point where it is now, who is the culprit?" ”

Cheng and Yi were stunned and didn't answer.

According to most people's point of view, the culprit of all this is Dong Zhuo.

But when the two of them saw Yang's broken appearance, they spoke to their lips, but they didn't say it. How do you say that? I think that when Xun Zhuo was alive, although the big Yang family was repeatedly cleaned, Yangcheng was extraordinarily prosperous.

On the contrary......

Cheng said softly: "Yang has fallen to the point where it is today, and it is also the destiny of heaven." ”

The fault can only be attributed to the Mandate of Heaven. Sometimes Cheng thinks, if Dong Zhuo doesn't die, what will the Han family be like? It's really hard to say, but even if the situation is worse, at least it's much better than the current situation.

Of course, these words can only be said in the heart.

Cao Cao smiled, "What Ma Taiwei means is that he wants us to rebuild Yang and settle down here, what do you say?" ”

Yi Zhihu stood up: "Never! ”

After he pondered for a while, he spoke: "Repair Yang, the project is huge. Now Jingzhao is not as empty as it was back then, and even if it was a work-for-relief job, I am afraid that it will be overstretched. Moreover, this place is not suitable for the capital...... Since Guyang, it has been an important place in Batong, and if we occupy this place for a long time, it will inevitably make Yuan Shao of Hebei feel uneasy. ”

"Jibo means ......"

"Before leaving, I had discussed this matter with Feng Xiaowenruo. Now, it is really not appropriate to control the yang, please be holy,

Place...... Wen Ruo believes that the saint can temporarily reside in Xuchang, and it is also convenient for the lord to take a public photo

Yi's words were in Cao Cao's arms.

nodded and agreed immediately, and Ming Cheng and Yi were responsible for handling the matter.

Yang Biao and others are now like lost dogs, and it is enough to have a place to settle down. If it doesn't make sense, and then Cao Cao comes forward to persuade him, it will naturally come naturally. Moreover, Cao Cao's current mind is not here.

"Sect heir Zhongkang, come out for a walk with me!"

Zonghei is Cao Peng's cousin. When they heard this, they immediately answered.

After arranging the horses with his own family, Cao Cao stepped onto the shadow, took Xu Chu and Cao Peng, and went out of the spring gate from the spring gate.

The group didn't have many words along the way. Cao Cao also looked very depressed.

Twenty miles out of the sun, is the North Mountain. In the past, Dong Li established the Beibi Villa here, and later Xun Li opened the mansion in Anding, and the Beibi Villa was handed over to Dong Zhuo. At one time, Dong Zhuo even hoped to die in this village.

However, the lodge is now in ruins.

In the early years, the houses of Lianyun were also dug up in pieces.

Cao Cao jumped off his horse outside the villa and strolled into the villa. Xu Chu and Cao Peng glanced at each other. Signal your relatives to guard outside. The two followed Cao Cao. They entered the villa together and stopped in an inconspicuous place.

Here, there is a tomb.

It's very simple, and from a distance it looks like just a mound.

Next to the tomb, there is a stone. There are mottled marks on it, and some faint handwriting can be faintly seen.

"The tomb of the late Taishi Dong!"

Cao Cao stroked the handwriting on the stone and said to himself: "No matter how prominent he was in life. In the end, it's just a handful of loess...... Just like the birds that have eaten up and thrown themselves into the forest, only a white expanse is left, which is really clean...... Xiping's words have exhausted the vicissitudes of the world. ”

This tomb is Dong Zhuo's tomb.

When Dong Zhuo was killed, he ended up with an incomplete corpse.

There is no grudge between Cao Cao and Dong Zhuo. On the contrary, Dong Zhuo appreciates him. Cao Cao was very grateful.

Speaking of which. It's just that the political views are different.

No matter how tragic the killing was, it would not affect Cao Cao's opinion of Dong Zhuodi.

So, after the original occupation of Yang. Cao Cao secretly ordered someone to collect Dong Zhuo's body and clothes and bury him in Beibei.

My thoughts fluctuated, as if I had returned to the old days.

Back then, Dong Li gambled in Yang, and the bowing competition was so prosperous, but now, who can still remember the days of that year?

Kaoru ......

In Cao Cao's mind, the ugly appearance of a lion's nose and a wide mouth and thin eyebrows appeared.

Are you finally ready to make a move?

I lost to you last time, but that doesn't mean that this time, I will also lose to you...... Today's Dong Xiping is no longer the Dong family of the year. But today's Cao Mengde is not the same Cao Apu who was forced by you to leap into the water back then.

I'm really looking forward to fighting you again!

A faint smile appeared on Cao Cao's face.

Suddenly turned around, "Zhongkang, Ziyi, how many days have they been separated from us?" ”

Xu Chu snapped his fingers and thought for a while, "It's been seven days...... Calculating the time, it is almost time to arrive at Hangu Pass. ”

Cao Cao bowed his head, chuckled, and did not speak again.

Looking towards the northwest, his gaze is extraordinarily cold and deep.

Brother Xipingxian, it seems that this time, my brother is going to take the lead...... And you, how will you react?

******

According to the plan of Guo Jia and others, while welcoming the Han Emperor, it is necessary to open the gate of Guanzhongdi.

This gate is the Hangu Pass.

The one who was ordered to guard Hangu Pass was Yang Wei, a famous general of Xiliang.

This person was originally a general under Niu Fu, and he was quite famous in Longxi and other places. He once led more than ten horsemen, killed more than 1,000 bandits, and was known as the first fierce general under Niu Fu's account. After Niu Fu was assassinated, Yang Wei led 3,000 elite horsemen and took refuge in Li Daoguo.

On the one hand, they are all from Liangzhou, and Li Daoguo is of course happy.

As for the second one, Li Daoguo has a lot of troops, but there are not too many generals who can conquer and fight.

also knew that Yang Wei was strong in martial arts, and they were very happy to see him come to defect. At that time, Yang Wei was appointed as the general of Zhenwu and stationed at Hangu Pass. Li Daoguo knew very well that as long as Hangu Pass was not lost, the eight hundred miles of Qinchuan would be as stable as a mountain.

It's just that no one thought that the two of them would turn against each other one day.

Yang Wei sat in the big tent and wiped his sword seriously. This sword was a sword of the Western Regions that he had purchased from a merchant for a huge amount of money, and it could be sharpened like clay and extremely sharp. Yang Wei regards the sword as his life, and he has to take time to wipe it every day.

At this moment, a soldier walked into the tent, "General, there is a person outside who claims to be the general's old man and asks to see the general." ”

"The deceased?"

Yang Wei was stunned, and said in his heart: What old people will come to see me at this time?

"Did you say what it's called?"

The soldier replied: "He didn't say it, he just said that there was something very important to inform the general." ”

"Let him in!"

Yang Wei put away his sword and sat in the big tent. It didn't take a while. Then he saw his own soldier with a man walking in from the outside.

This person is about eight feet tall, with a leopard's head and ringed eyes, broad shoulders and a round waist, and a beard like a steel needle.

Entering the big tent, the person who came laughed and said, "Old Yang, do you remember me?" ”

When Yang Wei saw the visitor, he couldn't help but be pleasantly surprised. Hurriedly got up. Take two quick steps. He grabbed the man by the arm.

"Zhu Ci. You, you're still alive? ”

This Zhu Ci and Yang Wei were both under the Niu Fu tent in their early years, and they had a very close relationship. After Niu Fu's death, the Longxi army was in chaos, Yang Wei and Zhu Ci got lost, and defected to Li Daoguo with his men and horses. And Zhu Ci. His whereabouts have been unknown since.

Unexpectedly, here, the two were able to reunite.

Yang Wei hurriedly asked his soldiers to go out to prepare a banquet, took Zhu Ci's hand and sat down, looking up and down.

"Lao Zhu, I haven't seen you for a few years, you look good."

"How can you be so proud of your brother now?"

"It's just a mess......"

Yang Wei sighed, "Old Zhu, where are you now?" On that day, the Longxi army was in chaos. After I was separated from you. I kept asking you about your whereabouts, and I thought you were ...... Tell me, how have you spent all these years? I miss it! ”

Zhu Ci listened to Yang Wei speak like this. I couldn't help but be moved.

"When General Niu was stabbed, I was ordered to garrison Lintao. Afterward...... You also know that Mrs. Dong ** Yu Lintao, I was seriously injured after I fought a bloody way. When I recovered from my injuries, I heard that the eldest prince had retreated into Nanshan and was nowhere to be found. My heart was empty, so I took a dozen brothers and returned to my hometown Yingchuan to serve as a nursing home for others. ”

"Nursing home?"

Yang Wei frowned, "Lao Zhu, you are strong in martial arts, what kind of nurse do you want?" ”

"What do you do if you don't care for a home? I have the mark of the Liangzhou Army on my body, and the eldest prince went to the Western Regions, and I don't know your whereabouts, so I can't help it. However, my master's family has been good to me, and I have been at ease for the past two years. ”

"That's good, that's good!"

Yang Wei patted Zhu Cidi on the shoulder and didn't ask any more.

At this time, some pro-soldiers brought wine and food, and Yang Wei asked all the pro-soldiers to retreat, and Zhu Ci pushed the cup to change the lamp, and said goodbye to each other.

After three rounds of drinking, Zhu Ci suddenly said: "Old Yang, I heard that the situation on your side is not too good?" ”

Don't look at Yang Wei drank some wine, but he didn't drink high, his head was very sober. Hearing Zhu Ci say such a sentence, the wine disappeared without a trace. put down the wine, stared at Zhu Ci, and muttered in his heart.

It has been more than five years since the assassination of the general!

For five years, Lao Zhu and I have not heard from each other, and now they suddenly appeared......

Earlier, Cao Cao sent troops to Yang. Lao Zhu said that he was in Yingchuan, which seemed to belong to Cao Cao's rule.

Is there a connection between the two?

Could it be ......

Yang Wei didn't speak, staring at Zhu Ci with burning eyes.

Seeing this situation, instead of avoiding Yang Wei's gaze, Zhu Ci grinned, "Looks like you know?" ”

Yang Wei still didn't speak.

"Lao Yang, I'll tell you the truth. The master of my family, who is now working as a mentor under the account of Yanzhou Mu Cao Cao, is Lord Zhong Zhong, a famous man in Yingchuan. Li Daoguo, a chaotic minister and thief, not to mention anything else, assassinated the Taishi, causing chaos in the world, and this is the only thing that everyone will be punished. The two thieves did not want to serve the country, but kept fighting...... Guanzhong was only afraid that it would be difficult to preserve, and the lord of my family was ordered to welcome the Son of Heaven and crusade against the two thieves. I heard that you were in Xin'an, and I couldn't bear to watch you suffer. ”

Li Dao Guo!

Yang Wei couldn't help but close his eyes, sighing in his heart.

To be honest, when he defected to Li Guo, he had no choice but to do it. However, Li Guo and the others treated him well, so they were grateful. I thought that Li Guo would be able to guard the customs and recuperate. Unexpectedly, the two of them fought. Now it seems that these two people are really not people to rely on, if they continue to follow, they are only afraid of ......

Yang Wei's heart moved!

Zhu Ci said: "Caozhou Mu occupies the three states of Henan and Yanqing, and is strong. And he is the most polite corporal, and even the eldest prince was full of praise for him back then. What's more, with our master's ability, we will definitely be able to make a big difference. Regardless of his background, Caozhou has the style of the eldest prince of the year, we follow him, and he will definitely be able to soar one day. ”

Yang Wei said: "In that case, why don't you go to the Western Regions to join the eldest prince?" ”

"If the eldest prince had first arrived in the Western Regions, we might have been able to get a background, but now...... Besides, the eldest prince is in the Western Regions, there are barbarian troubles inside, and he is coerced by Ma Teng outside, so I'm afraid it will be difficult to get out of the Western Regions. Lao Yang, our brothers had a good relationship in Longxi back then, and now Cao Yanzhou's soldiers are heading, and it is the time for you to make contributions. ”

Zhu Ci's words made Yang Wei's heart move.

After pondering for a long time, he gritted his teeth and made up his mind.

He said in a deep voice: "Lao Zhu, please also reply to Cao Yanzhou, just say that as long as his soldiers and horses arrive at Hangu Pass, I will open the city and surrender." ”

"Really?"

"Seriously!"

Zhu Ci laughed and raised his glass to invite, "Old Yang, you will never regret your decision in the future." ”
