Chapter Thirty-Seven: The Rebellion in Chang'an (Part II)
Guo Yan asked three cronies to pretend to be Yang Biao's guards, and selected a Gonggong Liu, who had been bribed by himself, from among the eunuchs in the palace, to pretend to be an envoy, and a group of more than ten people went out of Chang'an to the north to intercept Li Dao's brigade. Pen Fun Pavilion www.biquge.info Li Dao went south from Pinyang, to be honest, there are many roads to choose from, Yang Biao is naturally not sure, so he can only disperse people to find out the news, and at the same time tell the county magistrates if there is news of the army, they will immediately communicate.
Three days later, Yang Biao and his entourage met Li Dao's troops by real coincidence. Yang Biao passed on the will of the Han Emperor, and now the Xiongnu Zuoxian Wang Department confronted the Han army at Weiqiao, and asked Li Dao to quickly lead his troops back to Chang'an to help. After Li Wei received the order, he saluted Yang Biao, "Lord Taiwei has worked hard from afar, I don't know what the situation in Chang'an is?" If you want to talk about this decree, the saint will send a yellow door at will, why bother to make Taiwei hard, if Taiwei is old, there are three long and two short, I Li Dao can not be happy. ”
Yang Biao naturally heard Li Dao's sarcasm, and said with a smile, "If it's not an old man's wish, it's really a holy order that can't be disobeyed." The saint asked the old man to tell the general a piece of news-" Yang Biao glanced left and right, Li Dao motioned for everyone to retreat, only to find that there was still a person standing behind Yang Biao, Li Dao asked: "Who is this, how do you not know the etiquette." ”
Yang Biaoxin said that this was sent by Guo Yan to monitor me, but he definitely couldn't say that, so he hurriedly said, "Come, I'll introduce you to the general, this is Gonggong Liu next to the saint, and this time I sent the two of them to have an edict to pass on to the general." ”
Li Dao didn't expect such a thing, thinking that it seemed that the saint didn't fully trust Yang Biao's old man, so he wanted to pass on the decree with this Liu Gonggong.
That Gonggong Liu was a well-behaved person, and immediately took over the conversation, "In the words of the saint, the general Li Dao, and the captain Yang Biao take the order." I heard rumors that the general of the chariot cavalry, Guo Yan, had colluded with the Huns, but I really couldn't believe it, but there must be a reason for the groundlessness, so I ordered you two to go to Chiyang to find out the evidence. If there is indeed a case, the two of you will be light soldiers, and Jane will return to Beijing as soon as possible to preside over the overall situation. Don't scare the snake into leaking the news, but be taken advantage of by traitors. ”
Li Dao and Yang Biao said together, "The minister accepts the order." Only then did he stand up and discuss the current situation.
After listening to this secret decree, Li Wei was very excited in his heart, and said in his heart, Guo Yan, Guo Yan, we have been fighting for many years, and now we finally have the opportunity to understand all this, and now the saints are on my side, I am afraid that you are not far from death. After thinking about it, I thought that this will was passed on to Yang Biao and him, which showed that the saint was also worried that he or Yang Biao would ignore the festival because of personal enmity, so if this matter wanted to go well, it was necessary to ask Yang Biao's thoughts, "I don't know what the Taiwei thinks of this matter?" ”
Yang Biao stroked his beard and said: "This matter can be small or big, the key is related to the luck of my big man, the old man means that he would rather believe what he has than what he doesn't." Now that Chiyang is in the hands of the Huns, how can it be verified? The two of us should hurry back to Chang'an, and let the general control the situation. If Guo Yan is a loyal minister, he will definitely fight against the Xiongnu in Meiyang, and we will not do anything to him; If there is a rebellion, I am not afraid that he will not show his feet. ”
Li Dao patted his thigh after hearing this, "What the Taiwei said is exactly what I want." I am ready to let the army advance slowly from Shangqi and go to Weiqiao with great fanfare. I and Lord Taiwei led the troops and set off immediately to Chang'an. ”
Yang Biao responded, "Okay! Yang retired first, and the general could prepare early. ”
Yang Biao came out of Li Dao's big tent and said to Gonggong Liu, "Father-in-law is in a hurry, so the purpose of the general has been achieved." I don't know if I have to send someone back to inform the general of the cavalry to prepare early. ”
Gonggong Liu hurriedly said to Yang Biao, "Lord Taiwei is too modest, I am cooperating with you." Now that the army will be ready for a while, you will say to Li Dao that I will hurry back to restore my life. Be one step ahead. According to Li Dao's speed, I am afraid that we can reach Chang'an within three days, and when Li Dao enters the palace, it will be the time for us to make meritorious contributions. Liu Gonggong took two guards from his cronies to protect him, and secretly explained to the guards who stayed and stared at Yang Biao carefully.
Li Dao's side had just arranged for his nephew Li Li to lead the Chinese army to Weiqiao under his own banner, and he personally led the 3,000 Flying Bear Army to Chang'an with Tai Lieutenant Yang Biao. Li Dao came out to explain the situation to Yang Biao, but he didn't see Gonggong Liu, so he asked: "Lord Yang, I have arranged everything, and I can set off, I don't know where Gonggong Liu is?" ”
Yang Biao smiled, but suddenly an extra dagger came out of his sleeve, Yang Biao became angry and stabbed Li Dao. This time can scare Li Dao a lot, and immediately dodge backwards, Yang Biao is old after all, and stabbed him in the air. Li Dao shouted, "Take it with me!" ”
The soldiers behind Li Dao immediately rushed up and took down Yang Biao and the guards behind him. Li Dao said angrily, "Old Yang Biao, you are looking for death." ”
Who knew that Yang Biao smiled, "Li Zhiran, don't let go of the old man quickly, I'm saving your life, don't you want to take revenge." ”
Li Weixin said that this old man is crazy, since he assassinated me, what did he say to save me. "Come on, come on, tell me, how you saved me, if you can't say it, don't blame Li for turning his face and being ruthless today."
"Okay, you Li Dao, do you know where Grandpa Liu went? He had already hurried to Chang'an. Do you know what he's doing? He wants to tell someone the news of your return to Beijing. And this person is not the saint today, but your old enemy Guo Yan. Three days ago, Guo Yan had already led his troops to take control of Chang'an City, and stormed the palace and put the saint under house arrest. He asked me here just to make you take it lightly and throw yourself into the net. Through the false transmission of the holy decree, let you take less troops back to Chang'an, as long as you enter the city, life and death will be in his hands. I don't know why Guo Yan hates you so much, but I know that this time Guo Yan put on such a big battle, in addition to dealing with you, he also has the intention of holding the saint hostage and controlling the hundred officials. For the sake of the Han family, I decided to pretend to agree to his request to lead into the palace, but I wanted to inform the general of this important news in time. There is no way to assassinate me just now, mainly because the guards around me are all sent by Guo Yan to supervise and me, if not, I am afraid that I will never have a chance to say it before I open my mouth. ”
Li Wei looked at the guards who were under control, and asked, "What Lord Yang said is the truth?" These guards are all dead soldiers under Guo Yan's command, and naturally no one is willing to confess. On the contrary, he insisted that they were the generals of the Taiwei Mansion, and this time they came to assassinate Li Dao.
Li Dao said to his own soldiers, "Search their bodies." As a result, after a search, he naturally found a lot of marks of Liangzhou soldiers and horses from the weapons and clothes, and Li Dao and Guo Yan had been dealing with each other for so long, so they naturally saw it, so they ordered their own soldiers to take all these people down.
However, the people who proved that these guards were Guo Yan could not prove that Yang Biao's words were true, so Li Dao said to Yang Biao: "Old Captain Yang, as the saying goes, 'hearing is false, seeing is believing', I don't know if Taiwei has a way to prove your words." ”
"I have a subordinate outside, it is estimated that your people have already controlled him, he is Tian Jing's subordinate, you can call this person to ask." Yang Biao said.
Li Dao glanced behind him, and the soldiers nodded to indicate that there was indeed such a person. After a while, Star was brought up, and as soon as Li Dao asked, Star told him everything he knew. Although it is speculation that the palace wants to drink for help, Guo Yan came to the door to force Yang Biao to obey, but he saw it with his own eyes. And this Shi Danai is a general who performed well in the recruit training of Tian Jing Hu Cavalry Captain, and was awarded the position of military marquis.
After listening to Star's words, Li Dao basically believed Yang Biao, so he personally untied Yang Biao, and then asked: "Since Taiwei Yang is here in person, he must have thought of a countermeasure, I don't know if he may say it to me now." ”
Yang Biao didn't have a good breath and said, "My old bones are almost buried here today, but it's not a pity for me to die, I'm afraid that the Han River will be buried in the hands of Guo Yan's traitor." Gonggong Li has already gone to report the news, and I agreed with him to take your soldiers and horses into the city in three days, and then lead you into the palace, and then it will be the time for Guo Yan to make a move. Now that we know about the bento, we should speed up the march, rush to Chang'an in advance, and take advantage of its unpreparedness to lead our troops to capture the city and capture Guo Yan's traitor. ”
Li Wei thought for a while and said, "If you want to speed up the march, only the Flying Bear Army under my command can arrive, but with only 3,000 soldiers and horses, how can you take Chang'an, let alone fight against Guo Yan?" ”
"General, soldiers are not expensive, and at this time, only soldiers can win by surprise. Although Guo Yan controlled the twelve city gates, there were still men and horses under the command of Jin Wu in Chang'an City. If you can make it an internal response, it is not impossible to break the city in the middle of the night. And the most important thing is that Guo Yan doesn't know how many men and horses the general has, and the battle in the middle of the night will inevitably be panicked, and when the general is killed, I am afraid that he will not know how he died. Even if this plan fails, can't the general lead the 3,000 Flying Bear Army to retreat? As soon as the army arrives in Chang'an, and then attack Guo Yan with all its might, the big thing can be decided. ”
Li Wei thought about it, he was in the center for the past few years, but his courage was smaller than before. The situation on the battlefield is changing rapidly, and if this opportunity is missed, it will be even more difficult to defeat Guo Yan. Thinking of this, Li Dao immediately ordered the army to pull out, and Li Li led the Chinese army of 10,000 horses to quickly return to help, seemingly rushing to Weiqiao, but he had to turn around halfway and rush to Chang'an. On the way, he took 3,000 flying bear troops and Yang Biao and Shi Da to Chang'an.
On the afternoon of two days later, Guo Yan received a return from Gonggong Liu, "Yang Biao acted according to the plan and had already deceived Li Dao." Li Dao's army led 3,000 soldiers and horses south, and he would arrive in Chang'an tomorrow, and hoped that the general would make preparations as soon as possible. ”
Guo Yan laughed, and said in his heart, "Li Zhiran, Li Zhiran, tomorrow is your sacrifice day." "On the one hand, if Li Daojun comes, he will report it immediately. On the one hand, it was decided to arrange an ambush around the three eastern gates and near the palace gates.
After all preparations stopped, in Guo Yan's opinion, Li Dao would definitely die this time, so he couldn't help but drink with his subordinates in advance to celebrate. When people are happy, they are most likely to get drunk, Guo Yan slept soundly after being drunk tonight, but in his dream he saw Li Wei kneeling in front of him and begging for mercy. Guo Yan laughed, and he was about to kill Li Dao with his own hands.
How do you know that at this time, he was suddenly woken up, but a personal soldier came to report, "The general is not good, Li Dao led the Flying Bear Army to break through the Anmen in the south, and now he is going to the mansion to kill." ”
Guo Yan was so frightened that he drank all of a sudden. "Ah, yes, it must be a good thing that Yang Biao's old man did. Come on, let Wu Xi lead the wolf cavalry to block Li Dao, and you quickly gather people and horses to enter the palace with me. Only by arresting the emperor and Li Dao throwing a rat trap can we escape from Chang'an. The pro-soldier was about to go down to deliver the order, but he heard Guo Yan say again, "Tell the men and horses guarding the Yang Mansion that all the people in the Yang Mansion are killed, and I will make Yang Biao pay the price." ”
