Chapter 21: The Great War is Imminent
After Dong Zhuo entered Beijing, the eunuchs were destroyed, the military generals were slaughtered, the Manchu Dynasty was all people of the Northwest Army, or the civil and military officials who surrendered to the Northwest Army, Dong Zhuo proclaimed himself the Taishi and concurrently served as the prime minister, commanded the government, commanded the hundred officials, and named Lu Bu as the general of Wenhou, and shocked the inside and outside of the court, but said that the snipe and the clam competed, the fisherman profited, the eunuchs and the generals fought inwardly, and Dong Zhuo was cheaper, but the little emperor was gone, and the first major thing Dong Zhuo entered Beijing was to find the emperor all over the city, at least to see the corpse when he died.
But said that Yuan Shao was under the general He Jin, but He Jin died, rushed into the palace in a hurry, thinking about avenging the general, cut down a few little eunuchs, but could not find Zhang Rang, the old eunuch, after the most rummaging through the entire palace, the first to find that the young emperor was gone, Yuan Shao pondered, "Zhang Rang is cunning, and he is always afraid that things will be lost and burned, so he abducted the young emperor first, so as to keep the back hand", Yuan Shao believed that Zhang Rang took away the young emperor, but Zhang Rang's whereabouts could not be found, and it was inevitable that he frowned, At this time, General He Jin's enmity does not seem to be so important.
Dead horses as live horse doctors, Yuan Shao led more than a dozen sergeants, carrying knives and armor, looking for the places around the palace, but said that in Luoyang, there is a Taoist temple on the side of the palace, which is dedicated to Taoist immortals, and the royal family worships from time to time, that Yuan Shao led the sergeant into the Taoist temple, but saw a child-like person crying in the temple, and looked at it, it was the young emperor, when he was about to welcome the holy driver, he bumped into a child of about the same age, "Who are you?" ”。
Yuan Shao recognized it at a glance, it was Liu Xian, the king of Chen Liu, the younger brother of the young emperor, "Yuan Shao, the lieutenant of the lower colonel".
The young emperor couldn't stop crying, as if frightened, but Chen Liuwang was extremely calm, "Ru to Qin Wang, Ru to the anti-king", Chen Liuwang and the young emperor saw the palace in chaos, eunuchs and soldiers fighting each other, thinking that the rebellion had occurred, Chen Liuwang fled from the palace with the young emperor starry night, and went to this royal Taoist temple, thinking that he would live in peace for a moment, but unexpectedly killed a team of people and horses came out, and the young emperor was frightened and couldn't stop crying, but Chen Liuwang was young and a little old.
"Of course, Yuan Shao is here to welcome the young emperor back to the palace!"
When the young emperor heard Yuan Shao's words, he immediately stopped crying, and looked at his brother.
"Brother, this person is credible, he must have taken us back to the palace!"
The young emperor and Chen Liuwang were taken back to the palace by Yuan Shao, and when they were entering the palace gate, Dong Zhuo also broke into the palace, Yuan Shao was furious, "Who is this, dare to rob the car?" ”。
The pot-bellied Dong Zhuo got off the horse and saw two children, one of whom was wearing a dragon robe and gold silk boots, and he recognized it as the young emperor at a glance, "I am Dong Zhuo in the northwest, I heard that there was chaos in the palace, and I came to quell the rebellion", suddenly opened his eyes angrily, and the young emperor was directly frightened and cried.
"Bold Dong Zhuo, dare to intimidate the emperor, his crime deserves death!" , when Yuan Shao hadn't yet recognized the situation, that Chen Liuwang would not lose.
At this time, a Confucian person next to Dong Zhuo gently attached to Dong Zhuo's ear, "At this time, the young emperor is the emperor and the general is the minister, don't be reckless!" ”。
When Dong Zhuo heard this, he narrowed his eyes slightly, and said lightly, "My son-in-law is reasonable", walked straight to the young emperor, knelt down and saluted, "Dong Zhuo's people in the northwest are barbaric and unreasonable, and they collided with the young emperor, and I hope to punish them."
However, Yuan Shao saw the reason, at this moment, the emperor was short, and Dong Zhuo's soldiers were strong and strong, so he could not conflict with them, and played a round on the side, "General Dong Zhuo's first offense, the young emperor will not be counted", and the young emperor who cried his nose did not mean to blame.
"The northwest is barbaric, General Dong Zhuo is less courteous, and the imperial brother will naturally not blame, but after entering the court, I hope the general will remember."
Dong Zhuo looked at the little child who spoke, quite assertive, old-fashioned and steady, and wondered in his heart, asking why this person was, and they all said, "This is Liu Xian, the king of Chen Liu, and the younger brother of the young emperor!" ”。
Dong Zhuo entered Beijing, and the first major thing was to find the young emperor, but when Dong Zhuo first arrived in Jinggi, he was going to abolish the young emperor and set up Liu Xian, the king of Chenliu, saying that it was not appropriate for the young emperor to be cowardly, and the government and the opposition were all voices, saying that General Dong Zhuo wanted to establish a prestige, so he changed the emperor to boost his reputation, but Dong Zhuo said in a word, no matter how bad the court was, it had to continue, so Liu Wei was the emperor for a few months, and he was gloriously laid off to make room for his younger brother, but in Dong Zhuo's hands, it may be a blessing not to be the emperor.
But it was said that Gao Fei had been in Montenegro for more than a month, and the idea of fighting Jizhou had been planned for more than a month, and among them, Gao Fei basically played the main role, because Zhang Yan absolutely trusted him, the newly recognized brother, and Gao Fei's plan was to disturb the fatigue first and then fight, Jizhou City Wall was thick and there were many horses, General Pan Feng led 30,000 horses, and there were more than 10,000 people in the city's various border guards, Now barely get together the number of 20,000 people, divided into infantry, cavalry, siege soldiers, Zhang Liao commanded 5,000 people, Gao Shun commanded 1,000 people, Gao Fei commanded 1,000 people, and the rest of the men and horses were under Zhang Yan's name, obviously these soldiers wanted to take Jizhou City, it was really difficult, but Gao Fei planned this matter, bluntly said that he was small and broad, and said to Zhang Yan five reasons why Han Fu would be defeated, "First, Han Fu is mediocre and can't use people, even Pan Feng alone can't turn the tide, second, the Yellow Turban Army quells the rebellion, and all places are relaxed and slack, Jizhou City is even more so, third, Han Fu is in the light, the Black Mountain Army is in the dark, this matter is conspiring, it will not be discovered, Han Fu lost the opportunity, fourth, Han Fu's military horses were temporarily put together when fighting against the Yellow Turban Army, and they have never been on the battlefield at all, and the sand is easy to mess, and General Zhang Yan led the remnants of the Yellow Turban Army, fierce and brave, and fifth, Han Fu was negligent and appointed a small person, so Pan Feng may not be proud, and Gao Fei praised his two brothers, absolutely extraordinary", after Gao Fei finished speaking, he was simply full of pride, It seems that he has seen the day when Jizhou City is in his hands, and Zhang Yan completely handed over the attack on Jizhou City to Gao Fei.
In a month's time, Gao Fei has completely established his position as the second leader in the Montenegrin army, second only to Zhang Yan, and he has also stepped up the training of his subordinates, but this matter is completely in the hands of Zhang Liao and Gao Shun, Zhang Liao has both civil and military skills, and he will hand over the sergeant to him, absolutely rest assured, as for Gao Shun, Gao Fei wants to hand over a thousand people to him, top secret training, Gao Fei said to Gao Shun, "I want an absolutely fierce army, invincible, invincible, and the soldiers are not many, give you a thousand people, You may not be used when attacking Jizhou, but not far away, your 1,000 people must definitely be able to defeat 10,000 enemies with one, and your 1,000 people must be able to beat the enemy 10,000 people."
Gao Shun was said by Gao Fei to be high-spirited, "Within half a year, you will definitely be able to succeed, conquer everything, be invincible, and amaze the Quartet, but what is the name of this team?" ”。
"It's called trapping!".
Gao Shun muttered in his mouth, "Invincible, invincible, breaking the formation, easy as a snap, trapping the camp, what a good name!" ”。
Gao Shun led a thousand men and horses, secretly training in the Black Mountain, and Zhang Liao commanded the remaining nearly 20,000 people to practice, Gao Fei looked at Daxi, Zhang Yan looked at Daxi, "It seems that I have picked up a treasure this time!" Zhang Yan commented on this Gao Fei, completely forgetting his former brother Hao Meng.
After preparing for more than a month, he can finally gather momentum, in the previous month, Gao Fei sent hundreds of brothers to the vicinity of Jizhou City every day to harass, snatch food, kill people and goods, etc., anyway, it is not a big matter, it is to make Han Fu's heart, and hundreds of people will not send a large army to encircle and suppress, and Gao Fei uses Han Fu's mentality, at least before raising troops, paralyzing Han Fu.
Pan Feng's 30,000 horses are not stationed in Jizhou City, as Han Fu's main force, in Bohai County, ten miles south of Jizhou City, and now there are only more than 20,000 people in Jizhou City, so Gao Fei must fight quickly, before Pan Feng returns to the city to rescue, take Jizhou City in one fell swoop, but this is quite difficult, Gao Fei Ji Lu divided his troops into three roads, all the way to attack the south gate of Jizhou City, all the way to attack the north gate of Jizhou City, and all the way to ambush the road between Bohai County and Jizhou City, waiting for Pan Feng to come, give him a plan, big things can be done.
When it was late autumn, the weather was dry and dry, and the wind was howling, and Gao Fei finally waited for the time, and the plan was to be determined, and he was just a handful of winds away.
In the middle of the night, hundreds of people in the Montenegrin army pushed a cart full of firewood, grass, charcoal, and sawdust, and when it was dark in the middle of the night, they touched the east gate and west gate of Jizhou City, and leaned the cart full of flammable materials on the city gate, waiting for the code, which was about to start.
When the moon above the head was full and shining, the wind also increased, and as soon as a partridge whistle sounded, the two gates of Jizhou City were suddenly on fire.
The soldiers guarding the east and west gates shouted at once, "Someone is attacking the city!" Send a signal, someone is attacking the city! And just outside the firelight, the sergeant guarding the city saw the shadow of the black press, all over the city, before the fire, Jizhou City was a rain of arrows, like the outside fire, but the other party did not seem to react, the arrow rain shot out, and no figure fell, and at this time the fire at the city gate was even more powerful, through the blazing fire, some people saw that the people standing outside the city were scarecrows, thousands of scarecrows, "fooled, fooled", a general shouted, at this time, the south gate and north gate of Jizhou City could not hold on, Because everyone thought that the enemy's main attack direction was at the east gate and the west gate, the other two city gate guards were a little negligent, and it was this opportunity that made Han Fu lose the opportunity to fight.
"Hurry, ride a fast horse, go to Bohai County, notify General Pan Feng, saying that Jizhou is in danger, come to the rescue!" , a lieutenant said to a soldier under his hand, and then turned around with a sharp spear, "Prepare for battle."
"Yes, Captain", the little soldier didn't care about the fire at the city gate, and directly rode a fast horse through the sea of fire, heading towards Bohai County, but less than a mile away, he was shot to the ground by an arrow, and a man who looked like a general in armor walked out, "If you want to report the news, it's not so easy!" ”。
