Late at night, Situ House. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

Taiwei Yang Biao, Shizhong Cai Yong, Shangshu Lu Yu and others were gathering in the side hall of Situ Mansion to discuss with Wang Yun how to reward the princes of the Fourteenth Route Kwantung.

Wang Yun stroked the sparse willow whiskers under his chin, and said: "The Empress Dowager Yizhi, the fourteenth road of the Kwantung princes crusaded against the national thieves, and the King Qin escorted the meritorious service, which must not be sealed, but also not too rewarded." In particular, there is one that the princes of the Fourteenth Route must lead their troops back to govern the land, and must not stay in Luoyang. ”

Yang Biao hugged his fists in the north and said: "Queen Mother Mingjian, if you let the princes of a certain road stay in Luoyang, you will inevitably become Dong Zhuo's second." ”

"But it's a bit of a trick to do." Wang Yun frowned and said, "Other princes are easy to handle, the marquis who should be crowned marquis, and those who should be added to the official will be added, but Yuan Shao is a little difficult to do." In terms of prestige, the fourth and third princes of the Yuan family, Yuan Feng and Yuan Kui are all important ministers of the first emperor and the pillar country, which can be described as a prominent family, in terms of talent, Yuan Shao is the leader of the fourteenth princes, such a family background and talent, it is not an exaggeration to be named a general, but the queen mother's edict ~~ Alas, it is really difficult to do. ”

Cai Yong suddenly said: "Lord Situ, the lower officials have a plan. ”

"Oh?" Wang Yun said happily, "Will the plan come out?" ”

Cai Yong said: "Your Excellency, why don't you order the princes of the Fourteenth Route to evaluate each other's merits? Although Yuan Shao is the leader of the alliance, he may not be able to completely convince the rest of the princes, and there will be many people, so that the princes from all walks of life will inevitably quarrel with each other, and even turn against each other. ”

"Wonderful, this is a wonderful plan!" Shangshu Lu Yu exclaimed, "If this is the case, we can take advantage of it, and use the complex psychology of the princes of all walks of life to be jealous of each other and not give in to each other to find out the weakest of the princes to stay in Luoyang, so that the rest of the princes will have nothing to say, and can only lead their troops back to govern the land." ”

"The weakest?" Taiwei Yang Biao said disapprerovingly, "Let such a person stay in Luoyang, I'm afraid it will be difficult to convince the public." ”

"Not necessarily, there is such a good candidate right now." Wang Yun suddenly moved, and said with a smile, "Ladies and gentlemen, this official already knows what to do. ”

。。。。。。

Luoyang city effect, Cao Cao's army tent.

Cao Cao's eyes swept over Xiahoudun, Xiahou Yuan, Cao Ren, Cao Hong, Cheng Yu, Xun You, Guo Jia and others, and said in a deep voice: "This official is determined to raise troops to pursue the Liangzhou rebels, what do you think?" ”

"Of course you have to chase." Xiahoudun waved his fist viciously and shouted, "The rebel army has no leader, and if we don't take the opportunity to destroy it, how can we return to Qian County?" ”

"But if you pursue, only the lord will be a little lonely all the way." Xun You analyzed, "Guo Yan, Li Xuan, Yang Feng, Fan Chou, Zhao Cen and other Liangzhou rebel armies originally had more than 100,000 troops, and they were also coerced by the elite of Gyeonggi, at this time, I am afraid that no less than 200,000 rebel troops have been gathered, and the lord only has more than 10,000 elite soldiers, and the strength is less than one-twentieth of the chaotic army, and the disparity is too great." ”

"What's the use of having more soldiers?" Cao Ren said disapprerovingly, "Now that Dong Zhuo is dead, the rebel armies in Liangzhou are leaderless and fighting on their own, and it is easy to defeat them individually." ”

"General Zixiao is overly optimistic." Cheng Yu shook his head and said, "Because of the existence of the powerful enemy of the Fourteenth Route Kwantung Army, the Liangzhou rebel army of all departments will inevitably be the same enemy, and if the Liangzhou rebel army is disintegrated by internal strife, I am afraid it will be difficult to work." At least until the 14th Route Coalition Army is disbanded, the Liangzhou Rebellion Army will not be in chaos first. ”

Cao Cao's gaze finally fell on Guo Jia, and he asked in a condensed voice, "What does Feng Xiao think?" ”

Guo Jia said indifferently: "If the lord chases, he will definitely lose." ”

"What!?"

"Huh?"

Guo Jia's voice fell, and Xiahoudun, Xiahou Yuan, Cao Ren, Cao Hong and others had already changed their colors.

Immediately, Guo Jia said unhurriedly: "But Jia thinks that the lord should pursue!" ”

"Huh?"

"Huh?"

This time it was Cheng Yu and Xun You's turn to be confused, but Cao Cao's eyes suddenly flashed a trace of appreciation, and he sighed: "I have to be helped by filial piety, and the big thing is harmonious." ”

Cheng Yu and Xun Yu thought for a while, and then suddenly realized.

Guo Jia knew that this battle would be defeated, but he still advocated that Cao Cao lead the army to pursue, because if Cao Cao led the army to pursue the Liangzhou rebellious army and caused a big defeat, it would actually be a big victory! Compared with the remaining princes of the Thirteenth Route who were stranded in Luoyang and wanted to blackmail the imperial court to reward their merits, Cao Cao led the army alone to pursue the Liangzhou rebellion.

Even if he returns with a big defeat in the end, he is bound to paint a strong stroke in the hearts of the court and the world's heroes!

Cao Cao took a deep breath, his small eyes showed a burning essence, and he said quickly: "Where is Yuan Rang?" ”

Xiahou took a step forward, clenched his fists and said loudly: "The end will be." ”

Cao Cao said: "Lead 3,000 light cavalry as the vanguard, open roads in the mountains, build bridges in the water, and clear the way for the advance of the army!" ”

Xiahoudun replied suddenly: "The last general will take the order." ”

Cao Cao said: "The rest of the generals led their headquarters to send a letter to Guguan with their officers and soldiers, and swore to exterminate the rebellious army in Liangzhou. ”

"Yes!"

The generals responded loudly, and the sonorous sound reverberated in the big tent for a long time.

。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。

At dawn.

Yuan Shu, the assassin of Yangzhou, who was sleeping in the big tent, was suddenly awakened by the sound of hurried footsteps, and when he turned over and sat up and was about to get angry, he was also a general who had already been attracted to his confidant and stepped into the tent.

"General Du? Why is it in such a hurry? ”

Du Xuan said: "Lord, Cao Cao, the Taishou of Qiaojun, has already drawn up his camp and raised troops to pursue the Liangzhou rebels. ”

"What?" Yuan Shu was surprised, "Did Cao Cao really lead his subordinates to pursue the Liangzhou rebellion?" ”

Du Hao said: "It is true that there is only Cao Cao all the way to the Kwantung Army, but I am afraid that it will be difficult to defeat the Liangzhou rebel army, why not help the lord?" Even if the army is defeated, the prestige of the lord will definitely be in the sky. ”

"This~"

Yuan Shu was quite embarrassed when he heard this, the court will soon be rewarded for meritorious deeds, at this time he really doesn't want to leave Luoyang, not to be extravagant since he took refuge in himself, he is loyal, everything is for his own sake, and the extravagance is reasonable, but Yuan Shu is not easy to help the face of the luxury, weighed it again and again, set his eyes on the luxury, and said in a deep voice, "Meng De pursued the rebellious army with great righteousness, and this general is the governor of the grain and grass of the coalition army, how can he sit idly by?" Listen to the order! ”

Du Xuan said brazenly: "The end will be! ”

Yuan Shu said in a deep voice: "You will lead 3,000 elite soldiers to assist Meng De in pursuing the Liangzhou rebels~"

A look of joy flashed in Du's luxurious eyes, and he said in a deep voice: "The last general will obey the order!" ”

。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。

Hangu Pass.

The chariots and horses roared, and thousands of troops and horses rushed to the pass.

In addition to Zhang Ji, the assassin of Bingzhou, the rest of Dong Zhuo's henchmen and generals such as Guo Yan, Li Xuan, Fan Chou, Yang Feng, Zhao Cen, etc., have all led their troops to Hangu Pass to join Niu Fu's army. As Xun You expected, the Liangzhou rebel armies from all walks of life wantonly coerced and strengthened along the way, and by the time they arrived at Hangu Pass, the number of troops had reached more than 200,000.

Hangu Pass, the camp of the Chinese army.

Guo Yan and Li Xuan were separated from the left and right heads, Yang Feng, Fan Chou, Zhao Cen, Zhang Xiu, and Cui Lie were each at the bottom, and Li Ru was the head of the main seat, but the main seat was empty, and only a tablet of Dong Zhuo was placed on it. Under the leadership of Guo Yan and Li Xun, the generals burned incense and kowtowed, swearing to wipe out the Kwantung Army and avenge Dong Zhuo.

"Generals, listen to Li Ru." Li Rutuan glanced at the generals and said in a condensed voice, "The Kwantung Army is strong, and our army is difficult to match, so we should lead troops to retreat to Guanzhong for today's place, and then usher Gongzi Huang from Anding County to Chang'an, inheriting the unfinished business of the lord, I don't know what you think?" ”

Although Guo Yan and others had the intention to be self-reliant, at this time, the great enemy did not dare to act rashly, so they expressed their approval.

Li Ru said again: "As the so-called snake has no head, the three armies cannot be said to be without a commander, and the top priority is to nominate a general to replace Gongzi Huang as the commander and dispatch the three armies." Confucianism thinks that General Guo Yan has both ability and political integrity, and has experienced a hundred battles, and is worthy of a great responsibility, I don't know what the generals think? ”

Although Li Xu, Fan Chou, Yang Feng and others were not convinced, it was inconvenient to show it at this time, so they had to acquiesce.

Guo Yan took a step forward, stood in front of the desk for Dong Zhuo's tablet, raised his arms and said quickly: "Since everyone has no opinion, then General Ben is going to give orders, Fan Chou listens to the order!" ”

Fan Chou said quickly: "The end will be." ”

Guo Yan said: "Lead the headquarters of 20,000 light cavalry to immediately cross the Chang'an Ancient Road and attack Zheng County!" ”

Fan Chou said: "The last general will take the order." ”

Guo Yan shouted: "The rest of you led your headquarters to rest in Guanzhong for three days, and after three days, the army sent to Guanzhong and took Chang'an. ”

"Report~~" Guo Yan's voice fell, and suddenly a small colonel walked in, kneeling on the ground and said quickly, "General, there is an enemy attack outside the pass!" ”

"Outside the gates?" Guo Yan stared at him and asked, "Kanto? ”

Xiao Xiao said: "It's Kanto." ”

"Kanto!" Guo Yan's face changed greatly, and he said in a condensed voice, "The Kwantung Army is coming so fast!" ”

Li Ru's heart moved, and he asked, "How many Kwantung Army are coming?" Under what banner? ”

Xiao Colonel said: "There are about three or four thousand cavalry, under the banner of 'Xiahou'. ”

"Xiahou?" Li Ru said in a deep voice, "It seems that only Cao Cao, the Taishou of Qiaojun, came to pursue, not the Fourteenth Route Kwantung Army to chase after him. ”

"What, only Cao Cao all the way to the Kwantung Army?" Guo Yan's eyes suddenly revealed murderous intent, and he said sharply, "Cao Cao is so bold, do you think that my Liangzhou army is already vulnerable to such a situation?" Come on, the generals can lead their headquarters, follow the generals out of the pass, and kill the Cao army without leaving a piece of armor. ”
