Chapter 11 Hanoi is flamboyant, Hangu is trapped
After Tian Jing said goodbye to Chen Gong, he did not return to the pavilion post but went directly to the military camp where Li Kang and Le Ping were stationed. The pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info Tian Jing's reserve Bai Ma Yicong is a guest army here, in order to prevent Chen Gong from being suspicious, Tian Jing has always restrained everyone from leaving the barracks without permission. Facts have proved that his decision was right, and during this time, Chen Gong arranged for nearly 2,000 soldiers and horses to keep an eye on Tian Jing's more than 600 people at any time. But he was leaving Yanzhou tomorrow, and Tian Jing knew that it was time for the people sent by Guo Jia to act.
He asked people to greet Chen Gong in advance, and wanted to send one or twenty people to the city to buy some medicines, food, and clothing to supplement military supplies. Chen Gong prepared a batch of food for Tian Jing's team, but there was no reason for Tian Jing to buy some items by himself. And after these few days of observation, he was also relieved of Tian Jing and his subordinates, and if he didn't let him, he wouldn't agree to entrust the young lady to him to see Hua Tuo for treatment.
The twenty people sent by Tian Jing were led by Zang Shun, including more than ten internal responses sent by Guo Jia. When they arrived at a grain merchant's shop in the city (the grain merchant supported Cao Cao), they quickly changed clothes with the ten men in the grain store. In this way, Zang Shun brought back to the barracks still twenty people, Chen Gong would not be suspicious, and they could also lurk and wait for the opportunity to complete the future plan.
Early in the morning of the second day, Chen Gong prepared two carriages to wait at the city gate, and the young lady was in the car, with a total of four maids and a doctor taking care of the young lady. Tian Jing's set off with his subordinates, and after handing over to Chen Gong, he took the young lady's carriage out of the city and headed for Hanoi.
Tian Jing was worried about Lu Wen's injury, and he wanted to pass through Sizhou as soon as possible and then go to Guan to find Hua Tuo. But at that time, the road was mostly dirt roads, very bumpy, and the speed was too fast, but I was afraid that Lu Wen's body would not be able to stand it. So you can only control the speed of the march. Tian Jing led the team through Baima and Yanjin and then entered the border of Hanoi. Tian Jing had Chen Gong's letter in his hand, and arranged for someone to explain his intention to the flamboyant defenders in advance to avoid unnecessary conflicts.
The seat of Hanoi County was originally Huai County, but Zhang Yang did not like to be comfortable, and most of the time he stationed troops in Yewang. It took two days to transmit information, but Tian Jing didn't have time to wait at the border for two days, so he and the defenders proposed that he take two carriages and more than a dozen guards first, and that they could be escorted by Hanoi military horses along the way, and then let the brigade pass when the military order fell. The general of the defending army is named Yang Chou, he knows the relationship between Zhang Yang and Lu Bu, and he does not dare to delay when Lu Bu's daughter is injured. He agreed to Tian Jing's method and sent a hundred people to escort Tian Jing and his party.
By the time Zhang Yang's military order arrived at the border, Tian Jing led Lu Wen's carriage to the Wude realm. However, the cavalry was fast, and on the evening of the second day, the brigade and Tian Jing rushed to Huaixian almost at the same time.
Zhang Yang heard that Lu Wen was seriously injured, and he also rushed to Huai County. After seeing Tian Jing, he first looked at Lu Wen's injuries, and then entertained Tian Jing and his party in the mansion. Hearing that Tian Jing was a messenger sent by Tao Qian, he was taken aback, he thought it was Lu Bu's guards and horses, but he didn't expect it to be Xuzhou's men and horses. He was very happy about Tao Qian's willingness to form an alliance, and ordered the master of the Taishou Mansion to write a reply to Tian Jing, and gave an introduction to the situation in Sizhou.
It turned out that Zhang Yang and Lu Bu were both Ding Yuan's generals, and later Dong Zhuo was in turmoil, and Zhang Yang returned to Bingzhou to recruit soldiers and horses to fight against Dong Zhuo. Dong Zhuo burned Luoyang and moved more than 10,000 large households and people in Sizhou to Guanzhong. The princes' armies were discordant, and they each withdrew their troops, and Zhang Yang took the opportunity to occupy Hanoi County, which was affected by the war, and then went to the court to ask for his own duties. Dong Zhuo pushed the boat to seal Zhang Yang's advice to the general Hanoi Taishou, hoping that he could stay in Sizhou with Li Dao and Guo Yan to block the westward march of the princes.
But at this time, Sizhou was in shambles, Luoyang was ruined, and the population of Yin in Henan fell from two or three hundred thousand in the past to only more than 10,000. The crops were barren, the people were displaced, and no one wanted to take over. Hedong County, where the situation is slightly better, is entrenched here by the white wave thieves Li Le, Hu Cai, and Han Xianam. Hongnong County was Li Dao's territory, and was garrisoned by Li Dao's subordinate Yang Feng. "I heard that Yang Feng was also a thief of Baibo, and later voted for Li Dao, so there is very little conflict between Hongnong and Hedong. However, my Hanoi county is often harassed by white wave thieves. Therefore, I stationed troops in the wild king, on the one hand, to deter the enemy, and on the other hand, it is also convenient to send troops at any time. This time, I was worried that Lu Bu and Li Dao had a grudge, and it would be difficult for you to go to Guanzhong through Hongnong, since you are a soldier and horse in Xuzhou, if you don't mention Lu Wen's identity, I believe you still have a certain chance. ”
After Tian Jing listened, he also heard that the form of Sizhou is very complicated now, and once he leaves Hanoi County, he is afraid that he will not be able to cover it. At that time, I will have to rely on my own more than 600 people. It's just a blessing or a curse, it's a disaster that can't be avoided, and Lu Wen is seriously injured, so she has to go if she doesn't go, so she can't hesitate. Tian Jing told Zhang Yang about his pretending to send him to Beijing, and Zhang Yang felt that this matter was also feasible.
Early in the morning of the second day, Tian Jing and Zhang Yang resigned, and Zhang Yang sent his subordinates to escort Tian Jing and others out of Hanoi, passing through the boundary of Yin in Henan, and seeing Hangu Pass, which used to be the boundary of Hongnong County. Zheng Gu could not be sent again, Tian Jing raised the banner of Xuzhou soldiers and horses, and called the city guards to come out to answer before the pass.
The person who came was a strong man with a height of eight, and the person who came asked in the city, "Who is called Guan under the city?" "It's really like a bell, full of energy.
"Tian Jing, the commander of Xuzhou Thorn Shi Taoqian, went to Chang'an to meet the Son of Heaven on the order of my lord, and hoped that the general would release him." Tian Jing said.
"If you are a messenger, do you have credentials?" The city general asked.
"There is a seal of my lord to report to the Son of Heaven, as well as a tribute to the imperial court and gifts to the two generals Li Dao and Guo Yan. I also hope that the general will open the city for inspection. "Tian Jing's so-called gifts are actually items that people bought when they left Puyang City. said that it was a tribute, that is, some cloth, wine and special products, Tian Jing asked people to find some red paper and write the word "special tribute" on it, and it became a tribute. Of course, this is also a means learned from later generations.
The generals defending the city asked the archers on the city and the soldiers guarding the gate under the city to strengthen their vigilance, and they brought more than ten personal soldiers down to the city to see Tian Jing. He looked at the several carts of tribute that Tian Jing was escorting, and then pointed to the carriage, "This is?" ”
"This general, the daughter of my family's Lord Thorn Shi, is seriously ill, and this trip with me is to go to Chang'an to ask a famous doctor in the capital for diagnosis and treatment." Tian Jing said.
"It is not appropriate to disturb the female relatives in the car, but the matter of guarding Hangu Pass is very important, and I dare not be negligent. I also hope that the person in the car will open the curtain and let Xu take a look. The general said to Tian Jing.
Tian Jing knew that there was no way to do it, so he asked Lu Wen's maid to open the car curtain. The general surnamed Xu saw a maid and a seriously ill woman who was unconscious, and then signaled that it was okay. In the back of the car are two maids and various medicinal herbs and things for daily use, and there is no problem.
Tian Jing saw that the inspection was finished, and asked, "Then the general may we have cleared the customs?" ”
"It's been a long time since anyone has made offerings to the court, and I, a small Hangu guard, can't be the master of such a big matter. I need to report it to my general, and then report it to the general of the chariot cavalry. It will take five days to go back and forth, and you will be stationed under the city, and if you can clear the customs, I will inform you and so on. The general was leaving.
Tian Jing was in a hurry, waited for five days, this is ten days, and then he entered the Hongnong Land Realm, and he didn't know how many ups and downs he had to go through in the later passes, and it was estimated that Lu Wen would not be able to support it. Tian Jing had no choice but to repeat his old tricks, "This general, my young lady is seriously ill and urgently needs a famous doctor. I can't afford to delay these five days. Do you see if this can be done, the brigade of men and horses are all left outside the pass, and I will bring a few servants to escort the vehicle through the customs first, and when the military order of the general of the chariot cavalry arrives in the coming day, it is not too late for the brigade to be released? Tian Jing took out a few gold ingots from his arms and prepared to stuff them into the general.
I saw that the general's face sank, "Put it away!" To tell you the truth, my general asked me to guard this Hangu Pass, and the military order I gave was not to let a single soldier enter the pass. If there is a violation of the order, come to the head. The general should wait here. ”
Tian Jing was a little anxious, "Then if ordinary people can pass this level?" ”
"Ordinary people are unarmed, so they can get by." The general said.
"Okay, I'd like to take a few servants, no blades, no horses, and only these two carriages to pass the customs?" Tian Jing asked again.
"You are both soldiers and horses in Xuzhou, even if you don't bring weapons, you are still in the army, and you can't let them go without a military order. Don't play tricks again, I'll let you wait for your life. "Then the general will go back to the city when he has finished speaking.
Tian Jing was furious, "I want to see if I can enter this Hangu Pass." Come on, take it with me. After Tian Jing finished speaking, there were already soldiers and horses surrounding the general surnamed Xu and his personal soldiers in the core.
In this life, the soldiers and horses in the city immediately drew their bows and aimed at Tian Jing's more than 600 people. The defenders by the city gate just now were in full formation. Then more than 1,000 people came out of the city, and the horses surrounded Tian Jing and others in the center.
The general surnamed Xu laughed, "I, Xu Huang, have encountered someone who dares to threaten me for the first time since I led the troops, you are very good." Now that your soldiers and horses have no advantage, how about it, dare to fight with me alone. If you win, I'll let you pass, if you lose, don't blame me for Xu Huang's ruthlessness. ”
Tian Jing also knew at a glance that it was definitely a fool's dream to lead the troops to attack Hangu Pass, and it was impossible to open a single man here, not to mention that the other party's soldiers and horses were several times that of his own. I was impulsive just now, but when someone else drew a line, I couldn't help but continue.
"Good! Then let's have a try, if you lose, don't break your word! Although Tian Jing said it simply, but after hearing that the other party was Xu Huang, his heart was half cold, Xu Huang was one of the five good generals under Cao Cao, in addition to being good at using soldiers, this person's single-handed force is not under Dian Wei and Xu Chu, and he is a difficult role.
I saw Xu Huang riding a yellow horse, and then took the big axe from his own soldiers and went to the middle of the field. "Come, I'm alone, you just send someone to fight, and if you can win, I'll let you go."
Li Dang, who was behind Tian Jing, couldn't help it, "That big man is arrogant, and the master is here." Then he slapped his horse forward and raised his axes to meet Xu Huang.
