Chapter 266: Heaven Doesn't Take It

Cai Xiao saw someone climb the city, and he didn't know where the courage came from, picked up a spear and stabbed at Hu Che'er, these children of the big clan, since childhood, also want to practice literature and martial arts, Cai Xiao has been a captain in the Xiangyang Army for a few days, and will also embroider legs a few times, but unfortunately these children are used to having fun, but they rarely work hard in this regard, his shot stabbed out, in Hu Che'er's eyes can be said to be full of flaws, Hu Che'er sneered secretly, flashed lightly, knocked the back of the knife, Cai Xiao's spear in his hand couldn't hold it, and flew into the air, Hu Che took a step forward and slashed with a knife, Cai Xiao rolled on the ground in a panic, and there was already a knife on his left shoulder, and the blood flowed like a torrent.

More than a dozen defender soldiers around saw that the county order was injured, desperately brandishing knives and guns in front of Cai Xiao, Cai Xiao rolled and crawled to the side, looking very embarrassed, when he looked up again, the more than ten soldiers had been cut down by Hu Che'er, Hu Che'er was rushing towards him murderously, Cai Xiao knew that he would die now, but he was unwilling to be captured like this, he had been looked down upon by Wang Yan back then, he didn't want to be looked down upon for the rest of his life, he had to die like a hero even if he died,

Hu Che'er knew that Cai Xiao must be the leader of this county, so he cut down two soldiers in front of him one after another, and forced Cai Xiao step by step, but saw Cai Xiao covered in blood, with a hideous face, and pounced on him with his bare hands, but he was startled by his actions, and he was stunned for a moment.

At the moment when Hu Che'er was stunned, he only heard the sound of "whoosh" breaking the air, and a feather arrow shot like lightning, hitting Hu Che'er's throat, the force of the arrow was surprisingly great, and Hu Che'er's body was brought straight back, hit it on the battlements, and fell down the city.

I saw a white-robed general under the city, slowly put down the strong bow in his hand, and shouted in a deep voice: "Kill." "Thousands of horses galloped together, pounced on the Zhang Ji army that was besieging the city, before the people arrived, the arrows arrived first, and they had already shot down a large number of besieging soldiers, and the army under the city was suddenly in chaos,

Zhang Ji saw Hu Che'er on the top of the city in the back, cut down the defenders on the head of the city to turn over on their backs, the mood relaxed, was complacent, suddenly saw Hu Che'er leaning back, falling down from the city, the brains burst all over the ground, and then, the soldiers besieging the city retreated like a tide, no matter how the officers drank and couldn't stop drinking, both sides of the county were full of smoke and dust, and the two teams of cavalry rushed to kill each other, I don't know how many people and horses there were on the other side,

Zhang Xiu saw the opportunity quickly and shouted: "It's not good, the enemy's reinforcements are coming, uncle should withdraw quickly." ”

Zhang Ji also knew that he couldn't do anything today, so he turned his horse's head and shouted: "Withdraw." ”

With his order, more than 100,000 troops turned around and left, his subordinates were all foot soldiers, how to run past the four-legged war horse, Zhao Yun's five thousand cavalry divided into two roads, had already rushed into Zhang Ji's army, the knights on the horse abandoned their bows and arrows, brandished sharp sabers, and cut down when they met people,

Zhang Ji's subordinates were originally composed of the old army of Luoyang and untrained recruits with loose military discipline, when did they see such a battle, they threw away their armor and abandoned their armor, took the road and fled, trampled on each other, and suffered countless casualties, at this time, Xiahoulan also rushed over with 30,000 infantry, these infantry trotted all the way over, and immediately entered the battle without taking a breath, because the city gate hole in Champion County has been blocked, the soldiers and civilians in the city can not go out of the city to help the war, but it does not prevent them from shouting and cheering on the city, and for a time the drums beat loudly, and the sound of killing shook the sky, Zhang Ji's soldiers only hated their father and mother for having two legs, and had to kneel and surrender when they panicked.

Zhao Yun led the army all the way to cover and kill, until Wuguan City did not gather the soldiers and horses, set up a large camp in front of the pass, and Dong Zhuojun on the Wuguan opposite each other, Zhang Ji, Zhang Xiu's uncle and nephew have fled to the pass, counting the men and horses, it is less than 50,000, however, most of the siege equipment in the Jingzhou army has been transported to the front line of Sanguan, Zhao Yun did not receive the order to attack Wuguan, it is not good to order a strong attack, just shouting and scolding in front of the pass, Zhang Ji has already lost all his heart, where do he dare to go out of the pass to meet the enemy, but Zhang Xiu is young and vigorous, Several times he wanted to go down to compete with Zhao Yun, but was stopped by Zhang Ji.

In this battle, a total of more than 30,000 beheaded, 60,000 prisoners, most of the captured soldiers were young and strong people who had just been recruited by Dong Zhuoqiang, many people were sent to the battlefield without even knowing how to use the weapons in their hands, how could such an army be undefeated, but the military and civilian losses in Champion County were also very heavy, with tens of thousands of dead and wounded, and even the county commander Cai Xiao was seriously injured and unconscious, if it wasn't for Zhao Yun arriving in time, Champion County would have been lost,

Zhang Ji and Lu Bu successively led the army to leave Chang'an City, naturally they couldn't hide the ears and eyes of Wang Yun and others, and Fu Wan, Dong Cheng, Yang Qi and others gathered at Wang Yun's mansion to discuss countermeasures, and Yang Feng, the old military captain of Luoyang, was also impressively listed.

Wang Yun looked at everyone and said: "The army in Chang'an City has been mobilized one after another, and it is obvious that the war in Sanguan is tight, according to the latest news I have gotten, this time even Dong Zhuo's personal guard Flying Bear Army has been dispatched, and I heard that Lu Bu and Zhang Ji have all gone out of Wuguan, this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, I want to escort the emperor back to Luoyang, I don't know what you think." ”

The eyes of Dong Cheng and the others never left Yang Feng, they all wanted to speak and stopped.

Yang Feng said with a smile: "Don't worry about Yang, your lords, Yang has decided to advance and retreat with your adults, and you have no two hearts, please rest assured." ”

Wang Yun also said with a smile: "General Yang is loyal to the emperor, don't doubt it, otherwise such an important matter, how dare Wang let General Yang sit here, the 50,000 Luoyang troops who stayed in Chang'an City are all in the hands of General Yang, and it is General Yang's old department Song Guo Song who guards Hangu Pass, with General Yang's help, what else do you have to worry about." ”

In order to buy Yang Feng, Wang Yun spent a lot of money, first three days a small banquet, five days a big banquet, to win feelings, and then a large number of gold, silver and jewelry were sent to Yang Feng's mansion, and even the set of exquisite white porcelain exchanged for Minchan was also sent out, and five or six beautiful kabuki were raised in the house, these were not enough, and finally Wang Yun promised that if things were successful, Yang Feng would be promoted to the position of the third prince in the court, so that Yang Feng made up his mind to rebel against Dong Zhuo.

Although Dong Cheng believed Yang Feng, he still hesitated a little and said: "Luoyang is now under the control of Cao Ying, and Cao Ying is a ...... person."

Wang Yun didn't wait for his words to finish, waved his hand and said: "Lord Dong is too worried, Cao Mengde conspired with me to assassinate Dong Zhuo when he was in Luoyang, and there was a discord, so he fled abroad, I have concealed this matter for many years, and I will tell you today to dispel your doubts, and Mengde is also a person loyal to the emperor." ”

Yang Feng has been fascinated by the official position, stood up, and said impassionedly: "Yang has an army of 50,000 under him, plus the defenders of Hangu Pass, it is also a large force, even if Cao Ying has any conspiracy, he is not afraid of him, for the sake of the royal family, for the livelihood of the world, these troops are willing to share with all of you, Dong Zhuo's war in Sanguan can't last many days, and Liu Xin hasn't done his best, if Sanguan is lost, not only the future of your lords is not guaranteed, but even the emperor's position can't be kept, Do you have anything to hesitate about? ”

These last few sentences really hit the nail on the head, who doesn't want to be a high-ranking official, especially after Fu Wan, he relied on his daughter to marry Liu Xie, so he has today's status, if Liu Xie's throne is lost, then he will be nothing,

Wang Yun saw that the expressions on everyone's faces were somewhat relaxed, and continued: "General Hangu Guan Song has already agreed, and Meng De has also promised to send troops to respond, and now everything is ready, only the emperor's approval is needed, and this matter will be handed over to Fu Guozhang to do, how about it." ”

Fu Wan's biggest worry is that his son-in-law's throne will be overthrown, but he has never considered that his son-in-law has always been just a puppet, and what he is most worried about now is that Liu Xin will attack Chang'an.

Liu Xie listened to Fu Wan's words, hesitated for a while, took out a piece of paper from under several cases, handed it to Fu Wan, and said: "Abbot, this is a newspaper that the chamberlains have done everything possible to get it, and there is a text from Liu Xin denouncing me, although Liu Xin said it fiercely, but he also agreed, as long as I take the initiative to give up the throne, he will keep my life safe, and my descendants will be prosperous, I have also thought about it, rather than being at the mercy of others like this, it is better to be an idle prince, let's wait in this Chang'an City, if Dong Zhuo wins, I will also be this puppet emperor, if Liu Xin wins, Just give him the throne, he is my imperial uncle, and he will not be killed. ”

Fu Wan was shocked, and cried bitterly: "Your Majesty, you are so confused, since ancient times, there are no two kings in the sky, there are no two monarchs in the country, if the emperor falls into the hands of other princes, at most the power will fall, and there will be room for maneuver, if it falls into the hands of Liu Xin, I am afraid that there will be no corpse." ”

Liu Xie was already a little tempted when he saw Liu Xin's text, but after being ambushed after this call, he hesitated again, and Queen Fu couldn't stop crying when she was by her side, and finally nodded and said, "Everything depends on the country." ”

Cao Ying received a letter from Wang Yun in Puyang to escort Liu Xie to Luoyang, and hurriedly convened all the civil and military forces to discuss, he was already keenly aware that this was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.

Xun Yu is now the first strategist under Cao Ying, he has always been loyal to the Han family, because of Dong Zhuo's chaotic government, Xun Yu first voted for Yuan Shao, and then saw that Yuan Shao was a man who was wide inside and outside, and it was difficult to achieve great things, so he wanted to switch to other parties, originally Liu Xin and he also had a relationship, Jingzhou was also the place where he had considered, but I heard that Liu Xin issued an announcement not to recognize Liu Xie's identity as emperor, Xun Yu was a smart person, and it was seen at a glance that Liu Xin had the ambition to usurp the throne, and Liu Xin's image in his eyes plummeted, and he was reduced from a pillar to a Han rebellion, At this time, Cao Ying regrouped in Dongjun and ordered someone to come to invite him, Xun Yu and Cao Ying also had a lot of contacts in Luoyang, and they got along very happily, knowing that Cao Ying was also a talented person, so he happily went.

Hearing that Cao Ying was going to welcome back Liu Xie, Xun Yu's mood was not excited, and he leaned over and said: "Lord, this matter must not be delayed, for fear that other princes will take advantage of it, so Luoyang ordered the palace to be repaired and cleaned to welcome the emperor." ”

The strategist Mao Jue was also very excited, and said: "The Lord is just to serve the orders of the Son of Heaven and not to obey, and to cultivate and cultivate to accumulate military funds, so why worry about the hegemony." ”

The person under the steps laughed loudly: "Xiaoxian's words are very good, but why should it be so troublesome to accumulate military funds, if you don't take it, let alone when." ”
