Chapter 81: The Storm in the City
"Old, old man......"
A servant trembled and knelt in the courtyard of the Yuan Mansion, where Yuan Kui had to make tea and sleep on a recliner every morning, which was already a habit that everyone knew. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
Yuan Kui said with a gloomy face: "Tell me what happened in detail!" ”
As soon as the servant heard this, he immediately said everything that Yuan Shao had explained to him in a trembling voice: "Great, the eldest young master said ......"
"Whoop"
Yuan Kui threw the purple sand teapot in his hand to the ground, and the servant on the side almost scared his heart out with a direct pop, the price of this purple sand pot was enough for his family to live for a lifetime.
Yuan Kui didn't care at all about the precious teapot on the ground that had turned into pieces, his right hand that smashed the teapot was clenched into a fist, and his mouth squeezed out viciously: "Dong ...... Zhuo ......"
At this time, in front of Luoyang City.
"Hahaha...... It's already in Luoyang so soon! Dong Zhuo looked at the Luoyang City Gate in front of him and said happily, "The last time Lao Tzu came to Luoyang, it was a little Taishou during the Yellow Turban Rebellion!" ”
It was the first time for many generals from Xiliang to come to Luoyang, and their hearts were full of pride when they looked at the gatehouse in Luoyang, and they laughed loudly with Dong Zhuo.
Zhang Liao looked at the majestic Luoyang City Gate in front of him, the surrounding city wall is nearly five stories high, and the middle city tower is almost twice the city wall, this huge city has been the center of the world for hundreds of years, until later generations will still be the capital of various dynasties.
As early as a few years ago, Zhang Liao had already come to Luoyang when Jian Shuo formed the Eighth Lieutenant of Xiyuan, but he didn't feel the prosperity of Luoyang at that time, and went straight to report to Taiwei Yang Ci, but he was directly transferred to Liangzhou and became Dong Zhuo's subordinate.
"Lord Zhoumu, at this time, Yuan Kui is in control of Kyoto, I will ruin his plan, and I am afraid that it will be risky to rush into Beijing." Zhang Liao urged the horse to approach Dong Zhuo and said, after all, he knew the next history, no matter what happened in this unrecorded time, in short, in the end, Dong Zhuo took over the armed forces in Luoyang City, but at this moment, it may be difficult to achieve such an effect with 3,000 cavalry.
I feel that Dong Zhuo is also a good person, I don't want the tyrannical fat man image in history, so let's help him! Zhang Liao had such thoughts at this time.
"That's it......" Li Ru has always been the resourceful leader of the Xiliang Army, and after Zhang Liao raised his concerns at this moment, Li Ru immediately thought about it reflexively.
"Well, it's fine." Dong Zhuo grinned widely, patted Li Ru's shoulder and signaled him not to worry, "Let's go to the city first." ”
Li Ru looked at Dong Zhuo with some doubts, and still hadn't figured out the meaning of his words.
"Yes, I'm going to settle the army." Zhang Liao doesn't care about this, he is now a cold-faced general, as long as there are orders, he will start to execute them perfectly.
"No, just take the army into the city." Dong Zhuo waved his hand.
"This ......" Li Ru immediately hesitated, "Although there is a threat from Yuan Kui, I am afraid that it will be ...... to lead the army into Luoyang."
Dong Zhuo said indifferently: "Now that the situation is urgent, how can I take care of so much." ”
After speaking, he remembered something, pointed to Zhang Liao and Li Ru, who were immediately asleep, and Liu Xie and Liu Bi, who were asleep, and said, "Isn't there still them, does it mean that Your Majesty will still condemn me?" ”
Zhang Liao didn't respond, he originally felt that bringing troops into the city at this time was the safest way, soldiers, the place of death and life, the most important thing for generals to consider was safety and security.
Li Ru didn't raise any objections, just rubbed his hands in embarrassment, and said in a low voice: "It's hard to prevent the mouth of the world!" ”
After the matter was discussed, it was decided to lead the troops into the city, Zhang Liao returned to the formation to explain the matter of entering the city, and Li Dao, Guo Yan, Zhang Ji, Fan Chou and other four captains who came with the army surrounded them.
"General Zhang, what do you command?" Li Dao looked at Zhang Liao with a flattering face and said.
Zhang Liao glanced at Li Dao in front of him, and it was hard to imagine that this flattering person in front of him would become a thief who plundered the emperor and troubled Chang'an with Guo Yan.
"Order all the soldiers and horses, the whole army will be stationed in Luoyang, and the people shall not be harassed after entering the city, if you catch a random shopping person on the way to the capital, it may be the family of the third duke, and now Dong Gong has newly entered Luoyang, don't make trouble for him." Without showing any disdain for Li Dao, Zhang Liao said indifferently to the four lieutenants in front of him who were his subordinates but were older than him, especially Zhang Ji, whose nephew seemed to be not much younger than Zhang Liao.
Everyone received their respective tasks and turned to leave, and Zhang Liao stopped Zhang Ji, who was almost a generation older than him.
"What else is going on with General Zhang?"
Zhang Jisheng was eight feet long, with a square face, and turned to Zhang Liao and asked.
Zhang Liao said: "I heard that Captain Zhang has a nephew who is very good at marksmanship. ”
Zhang Ji smiled slightly: "Oh, it turns out that my idiot has indeed learned some fur from Master Tong Yuan, and it is just everyone's false praise." ”
Zhang Liao also smiled with Zhang Ji, although Zhang Ji kept saying belittling things about Zhang Xiu, but Zhang Liao could see that he was still very proud of this nephew.
"Now Ling Gongzi can be in the army?"
"Oh, no, no, no, such a big thing is where children can participate, and the idiot is still in Liangzhou."
"Please introduce me to me when you have time."
"Definitely, definitely."
The soldiers on duty in front of the Luoyang City Tower are aimlessly looking at the people who come and go in and out of the city gate, even if it is just a small doorman in the capital, they also have a very high vision, although from time to time they can ask the merchants who enter the city to get some oil and water, but for these Luoyang guards who are used to seeing the pomp and circumstance, they can't lift their spirits at all.
A sleepy garrison was suddenly woken up by the person beside him, and pointed solemnly to the outside of the city, he immediately raised his head and looked out of the city, only to see a team of cavalry wearing black armor rushing towards the gate of Luoyang with great momentum.
The guards suddenly became nervous, this army is obviously not the defenders in the city, because the garrisons in Luoyang City are all uniformly wearing red Han-style armor, even the forbidden army in the imperial city is all red military uniforms, like this, black robes and black armor can only be troops other than Si Li.
"Close the gates!"
Such a big thing just happened last night, and the entire Luoyang City is still panicked, and the burning marks left by the fire last night have not disappeared, so it can be said that it is still a dilapidated appearance, where can this foreign army be tolerated to wreak havoc?
"Stop!"
Zhang Liao pulled the reins, raised the halberd in his hand and shouted, the three thousand cavalry behind him stopped abruptly, and the overwhelming sound of horses' hooves disappeared in an instant, which was more shocking than the previous thunder.
Looking at the closed city gate, Zhang Liao gestured to Tu Jing beside him, Tu Jing understood, kicked the horse's belly and came to the city gate and shouted to the city tower: "Brothers guarding the city, we are on the order of the general He Jin, come to the army of King Qin, please open the city gate and let us enter the city." ”
There were a few chaotic voices of deliberation upstairs, and a head stretched out from the wall buttress and said: "The great general He Jin intended to make a rebellion last night and kidnap His Majesty, and now he has been ambushed, you wait for the suspicious origin, leave quickly, otherwise we will send troops to take you down, and wait for the fate." ”
After finishing speaking, the person who shouted returned to the city tower, and one of the guards of the Yuan family nodded at him, after Yuan Kui received the news that Dong Zhuo had captured Liu Xie, he immediately sent someone to order that all the city gates were not allowed to be released.
"Want to take us? Hmph, if you have the ability, try it! Dong Zhuo rode a horse and said coldly in the military formation behind Zhang Liao.
Seeing that the guards did not open the door, Tu Jing turned his head and looked at Zhang Liao for help.
Zhang Liao beckoned Tu Jing to come back, and he stepped forward and shouted loudly to the city tower: "I waited all the way to meet His Majesty who was in distress, and His Majesty was in the army at this time, do you want to prevent Your Majesty from returning to the palace?" ”
The guards on the city tower panicked when they heard this, although the imperial decree is not possible now, but at that time, for those giant crocodiles who called for wind and rain, the name of the emperor was simply like the sky was about to fall for a small guard.
"What to do? Still won't open? The guards panicked towards the guards coming to the Yuan Mansion.
The guard was obviously a little nervous at this time, when he came, the master just said that it was Liangzhou Mu Dong Zhuo, so that he couldn't let people in anyway, but he didn't say that there was a son of heaven here!
However, after thinking about what Yuan Kui had ordered at the time, and not letting him go no matter what, the guard gritted his teeth and said to the city gate guard: "Ignore him." ”
Zhang Liao shouted for a long time, and when he saw that no one was talking at the city gate, he smiled playfully and waved his hand behind him.
"Your Majesty returns, open the city gate quickly!"
"Your Majesty returns, open the city gate quickly!"
Knowing that the people on the city tower pretended not to hear his words, Zhang Liao asked the three thousand cavalry behind him to shout together, what kind of momentum was it for three thousand people to shout the same words together? Not only the defenders on the city tower, but the sound spread rapidly along the air from the city gate of Luoyang, and the rich and noble families who had gone out to buy all the way, and the ordinary people who rushed to the market on the street, almost all heard such a shout in the sky above their heads at the same time.
"Your Majesty returns, open the city gate quickly!"
Yuan Kui was still sitting on his Fanbang recliner rewarded by the first emperor at this time, and when he heard this voice, he was so angry that he gritted his teeth and rattled his teeth, and summoned a waiter, almost squeezing out the voice from the depths of his throat: "Release!" ”
Cao Cao was falling in his "Meng Deju" at this time, and he was so depressed that he didn't want to go out, he was afraid that the world he saw when he went out had changed, and the person sitting on the dragon bed had become his playmate since childhood.
"Your Majesty returns, open the city gate quickly!"
"Huh? What was that? Cao Cao was pulled back from the void by this loud thunder sound, and walked out of the house in amazement.
