Chapter 189: A Big Deal
There is a water town in the northwest of Xingyang, in the Western Zhou Dynasty, King Mu of Zhou captured the tiger and raised it here, here as a place to hold the tiger, it is in the name of the tiger prison, and the famous three British battles in the Romance of the Three Kingdoms are here. γFengyun Reading Network. γ
The Tiger Prison Pass is connected to Songyue in the south, and is bordered by the Yellow River in the north, with mountains and mountains staggered, which is a natural danger. As the gateway to the east of Luoyang and the most important pass, Yuan Ziyou has sent 20,000 Jing to garrison this time, and also sent the famous Northern Wei Dynasty's first good general Wang Zhen to sit in Xiongguan.
Jingzhou was a lonely city surrounded by a million troops of the Southern Liang, but this lonely city was guarded by Wang Zhen for three years, although Wang Zhen and other generals in the city were so poor that they had already eaten the bark, but the southern army was not comfortable, because the cost of military supplies was too huge, and the Southern Liang troops had no choice but to return home.
At this stage, Wang Zhen is the first general of the Northern Wei Dynasty to defend the city, the reputation is indeed well deserved, the veteran is old, Yuan Ziyou in the suggestion of Er Zhurong, has let He Batsheng go to Jingzhou to take over his position, the old general just returned to Luoyang to report on the work, was Yuan Ziyou again entrusted with the important task.
It's just that Wang Zhen is not the boss, the main general guarding the Tiger Prison Pass is Er Zhu Shilong, who is the spokesperson of the capital of the Zhu family, Er Zhu Shilong is one of the few alternatives of the Zhu family who is not good at conquest, and the emperor Yuan Ziyou is also very clear about this, but the power of the Zhu family is too great, and this army is controlled by Er Zhu Shilong, so that the famous general Wang Zhen can only become a military adviser, and it is still Er Zhu Shilong who is really in charge.
Yuan Tianmu's series of actions have already shown that he is not cooperating with the emperor, so Yuan Ziyou does not have much bottom in his heart about Er Zhu Shilong, but all the elite soldiers of the imperial court have been transferred, and finally there are some who can fight a little bit and were defeated by Yuan Huiye and Yang Yu in Kaocheng and Xingyang respectively, and now the only soldiers in the emperor's hands are the 20,000 soldiers under the command of Er Zhu Shilong, even if he doesn't trust Er Zhu Shilong, he has to send the other party to defend it, because he really has no choice.
Wang Zhen is worthy of being the first famous general of the Northern Wei Dynasty to defend the city, and his ability and experience are impeccable. Wang Zhen was also very familiar with the attack methods of the southern army, and he was confident that not to mention that the southern army only had 7,000, even if the other party was 70,000 or more, he could ensure that the pass was foolproof.
Wang Zhen is the same as Chen Qingzhi. He is also the purest soldier, he doesn't bother to care about the affairs of the court and the intricate relationship between the various factions, and when he gets older, he will not go to stand in line between camps, and no faction has anything to do with him. He was only finally loyal to the emperor at the end of the court, nothing more......
Wang Zhen got up a little later today, because last night Er Zhu Shilong had to pull him to drink, the big war was about to Wang Zhen did not want to drink a banquet, and he rarely drank alcohol when he was old, but Wang Zhen knew that the discord between the generals was a taboo for soldiers, although he was reluctant to drink a few glasses, he also wondered that he had obviously tasted it shallowly, but for some reason he fell asleep so deeply, "It seems that he is still old." I can't accept it! Wang Zhen sighed.
The veteran Wang Zhen has been gearing up for the past few days, he is looking forward to fighting against the white-robed general who is in the limelight of the Southern Army, and he is ready to go to the pass to inspect a circle as soon as he gets up, but Wang Zhen suddenly feels very wrong, because the usual noise is gone, and there is a quiet outside the house, where there is a little bit of a military camp.
Wang Zhen, who was puzzled, pushed open the door and walked out, and when he raised his eyes, he saw several pro-soldiers who had been beaten unconscious and tied up. And wake them up, "What the hell is going on?" β
The pro-soldier had just been awakened, and his mind was obviously confused, and it took a while to ease up. "Oh no, my lord! Let's run, something big is wrong! β
"Tell me slowly, what the hell is going on!" Wang Zhen suddenly felt strange in his heart, the southern army had obviously not arrived yet, but something did happen here.
"Erzhu Shilong has already evacuated with all the people last night. They seem to be crossing the river, and they are probably on the other side of the river! The soldier cried with a sad face, "Let's run quickly, now there are only a few of us left in the entire Tiger Prison......"
Wang Zhen: ......

After sending away the earthen gate, Chen Yu's study welcomed another guest, this person had always been arrogant and arrogant, and after seeing the power of gunpowder, the expression on his face immediately changed to panic and fear, but at this moment he was cautious with a little flattery.
"Participate in the Great General!" The person who came saluted respectfully and said.
"Prince Yueju doesn't have to be polite, please take a seat!" Chen Yu said with a smile, the person who came was the younger brother of Gao Che Khan, Yue Ju.
"General, I just saw the person who came out of your house seems to be a little familiar, don't you know that I know that person?" The Turkic Department originated from Gaoche, and of course Yueju knew Tumen, the best son of the Turkic chieftain, and he didn't know that Chen Yu deliberately let him see Tumen.
"A friend of the prairie, who may have met His Excellency the Prince, but is not a person worth mentioning!" Chen Yu deliberately said vaguely, "You already know my conditions, now it's time to give me an answer!" β
Yue Ju saw that Chen Yu didn't want to say, so he didn't continue to ask, he was really surprised that Tumen came here, but Yue Ju also recognized Chen Yu's words in his heart, Tumen was indeed not a character worth mentioning, "I was still a little hesitant in my heart before, but after seeing the strength of the general, I really can't think of any reason to refuse the general!" β
"Very good, you are a smart man, and the position of the Great Khan should be done by someone like you!" Chen Yu smiled and said: "You have seen the situation of the Brahmana Department, and cooperating with me is a win-win result, and your life will get better and better!" β
"Your Excellency is right! However......" Yue Ju hesitated, looking like he was struggling in his heart, obviously deliberately showing Chen Yu, Chen Yu frowned, "If you have anything to say, don't talk about it!" β
Yue Ju laughed embarrassedly, "The general has always had the reputation of being a fool, but there are some things I'm still curious about!" Yue Ju paused, and then said: "The Brahmin has not been in good health for the past two years, and it is no secret that he is dying, Anapu will not let go of this opportunity, and it is not unusual to take advantage of the fire to rob, but how did you expect that my brother would definitely cooperate with him in sending troops?" β
"Because your brother is not as smart as you, and he can only see immediate benefits!" Chen Yu didn't have much impression of Gao Che's Yi Lu Great Khan, only knew that Yi Lu was killed by his younger brother Yue Ju when he returned from defeat, of course, the Khan position was also robbed by Yue Ju, but this Yue Ju was also killed by Yi Lu's son Bi Shi in the end, and after this series of accidents, Gao Che also completely went into decline.
As for the incompetent Brahmin, if he hadn't appeared to help him, not only would his Brahmin have already died in battle, but his tribe has been carved up, and now he will completely control the Turkic tribe that will destroy Rouran in the future, so no matter how you look at it, you should be able to count yourself as the savior of Rouran.
Yue Ju saw that Chen Yu suddenly pondered, neither dared to disturb, nor dared to say goodbye, but for a while he couldn't advance or retreat, just when he was embarrassed, there was a knock on the door.
"General, there's new news!" Outside the door, Hou Mo Chen Chong asked softly.
"Come in!" Since Hou Mo Chen Chongming knew that he was meeting guests, but he still came over to ask for instructions, something must have happened, but the other party's tone was not nervous, and what happened should not be directly related to him, so Chen Yuzhi was not very anxious.
"If you have something to do, I'll leave first!" Yue Ju hurriedly bowed and resigned.
"The Great Khan of Yueju, General Shuben is not far away!" Chen Yu said with a smile.
"How dare you!" Yue Ju said modestly.
Looking at the other party's modest appearance, Chen Yu smiled and reminded: "Your Excellency deliberately went against me before, and your words were a little disrespectful, I know that you are trying to dissociate yourself from me, so as not to let you suspect that we are in dealings, but as everyone knows, your performance is a bit contrived, thanks to the fact that your wisdom is not outstanding, if it was Anapu, I am afraid that I would have suspected it a long time ago!" β
"Ugh!" Yue Ju was stunned for a moment, and then said apologetically: "I miscalculated, thank you for reminding me!" β
After Hou Mo and Chen Chong and the others left, they were just about to speak but were stopped by Chen Yu, "Don't say it yet, let me guess!" β
"It's a big thing, but it doesn't have anything to do with us directly?" Chen Yu suddenly became playful, but he was not in a hurry.
"That's right!"
After getting Hou Mo Chen Chong's affirmative reply, Chen Yu knew more in his heart, after all, there was nothing else to do at this time...... (To be continued.) )
