Li Dao and Guo Yan led the troops to pursue from behind. Pen fun and pavilion www.biquge.info

At this time, the emperor and the generals who were fleeing to Hongnong did not know that Zhang Ji had secretly agreed to the plan of Li Dao and Guo Yan.

However, although Zhang Ji agreed on the surface, he also had selfish intentions, mixed in the escort army all the way, and did not make any death, although there were also officials who doubted Zhang Ji's loyalty, but at this time there was no other way, and Zhang Ji has always been excluded by Li Guo, since Fan Chou was killed by Li Guo, it is even more Li Guo discord, which is a well-known fact.

From Huayin County to Hongnong County, about 40 miles of road, the terrain of this area is long and narrow, with the Yellow River rolling and roaring to the east to the north, and the towering mountains in the south.

Dong Chengzhu led a large army and hundreds of officials, and escorted the emperor for more than ten miles, and was caught up by the army of Li Dao and Guo Yan.

The generals fought with Li Dao and Guo Yan's army, and they were defeated and retreated, and the baggage and other baggage were all in time to take care of it, so they could only leave it all behind and flee east along the official road at full speed, hoping to arrive at Hongnong as soon as possible and get the help of Zhang Ji's reinforcements.

In this way, the emperor and hundreds of civil and military officials, as well as Dong Cheng and other generals, panicked all the way, fought and fled, and suffered countless casualties.

In the afternoon, look at Hongnong City in front of you, Dong Cheng and others are overjoyed, suddenly the drums of the civil war in the dense forest on both sides are like thunder, and two armies are killed, and when you look at the banner, it is Zhang Xiu, the son of Zhang Ji!

Zhang Ji was also a leader who should cooperate with the outside and began to attack Dong Cheng and other generals from the inside.

At this time, there is Zhang Xiu in the front, Li Dao Guo Yan in the back, and Zhang Ji in the back, the enemy army of three ways is flanked, the sound of killing is shocking, the palace maids are all crying and fleeing, and the hundred officials are also fighting for themselves!!

Dong Cheng, Yang Feng, Yang Ding, Yang Biao, Yang Zhong, Fu Wan and others were defeated, and most of the hundreds of officials died in battle for escort! Dong Cheng and Fu Wan each protected their daughters and the emperor and continued to flee eastward, and when they fled to Caoyang Pavilion, ten miles east of Hongnong City, the army was disabled and distressed, and because of the loss of baggage, the whole army had no food and grass.

Dong Cheng and Yang Feng had no choice but to ask Li Dao, Guo Yan, and Zhang Ji for peace.

Li Wei secretly consulted with Guo Yan and said, "Dong Cheng asks for peace, should we agree or not?" ”

Guo Yan said angrily: "Childish, can't you see it? This battle could have defeated Dong Chengjun in one fell swoop, but Zhang Ji had selfish intentions, which caused the current situation! And our army is far away, and the grain and grass are insufficient, if we continue to fight, I am afraid that even if we win in the end, we will be swallowed up by Zhang Ji in one fell swoop! ”

Li Wei frowned and was silent.

Guo Yan sneered a few times and said: "Don't forget, Zhang Ji has always been dissatisfied with us, and after Fan Chou's death, it is impossible to truly unite with us, and I was not like this to you at the beginning, so I understand Zhang Ji's thoughts very well now!" Hongnong is Zhang Ji's territory, and if this battle continues, it will only be bad for us! ”

"What should I do? Are we just going to waste all our work? Li Dao said hatefully.

Guo Yan said: "Brother Zhiran is a little quiet, why don't we pretend to agree to sue for peace, in this way, with Zhang Ji's strength alone, I don't dare to oppose it, in this case, Zhang Ji can only temporarily supply the emperor's grain and grass, as well as the grain and grass of our army, and take advantage of this time, you and I are secretly wooing hundreds of officials, while sending people back to Chang'an to transfer troops, horses and grain and grass to come, as long as you and I have an army and grain and grass to come, even if he turns his face with Zhang Ji, what can he do?" ”

Li Wei was overjoyed and agreed to Guo Yan's plan, and after the two discussed it carefully, they acted according to the plan and agreed to make peace.

Cao Yang Pavilion

Like Hongnong City, it is bordered by the Yellow River in the north, the difference is that Hongnong City has a tall city wall, which is the county governance of Hongnong County, and Caoyang Pavilion is just a sparsely populated pavilion, there is a township on the pavilion, there is a county in the township, Caoyang Pavilion is a pavilion, and Hongnong City is not only a county!

In one village, Emperor Liu Xie and his officials were temporarily settled.

Dong Cheng and Yang Feng had secretly made a decision, so they took advantage of the time when no one was there to see the emperor, Liu Xiezheng frowned, saw Dong Cheng, his spirit was a little lifted, and he hurriedly said: "Now Li Dao, Guo Yan, and Zhang Ji are surrounding this place before and after, how is it good?" ”

Dong Chengdao: "Your Majesty don't worry, the minister and General Yang have a clever plan, just wait a few more days, Li Dao Guo Yan will be defeated!" ”

"There are no outsiders here, please let Uncle Guo speak clearly!" Liu Xiedao.

Dong Cheng looked around, worried that someone would hear it, and after asking the emperor for permission, he stepped forward and said: "To the north of this place, as long as the Yellow River is crossed, it is the boundary of Hedong, General Yang was born in the Baibo army of Hedong County, as long as he sends his henchmen to go, Xu Yi, the Baibo army will definitely lead the army!" Li Dao Guo Yan thought that there was the Yellow River in the north and the Qinling Mountains in the south, so he would not be guarded, and the Baibo army had many cavalry, as long as they were careful, they could win a battle under a surprise attack! ”

Liu Xie was overjoyed and ordered Dong Cheng and Yang Feng to act according to the plan.

Soon after the two left, Yang Biao and Yang Zhong, the younger brother of Zhongcheng at the time, also took advantage of the absence of other officials by the emperor's side to see Liu Xie together, Yang Biao played: "Your Majesty, Li Ji, Guo Yan, Zhang Ji and others do not agree, and they are suspicious of each other, if Zhang Ji's betrayal is pardoned at this time, and his post is high, and then Chen talks about the interests and dangers, and orders him to escort him to Luoyang, he will definitely obey!" As long as he arrives in Luoyang, with the 200,000 troops stationed in Luoyang under the cantonment of Anton's general Feng Yao, as well as the troops under his ministers, he will be able to deter Zhang Ji. ”

When Yang Biao was only halfway through speaking, Liu Xie's face was displeased, and when he heard that Feng Yao was mentioned, his face was even more angry, and after Yang Biao finished speaking, he shouted: "You dare to mention Feng Yao's 200,000 army!" I suffer like this here, and where are the others? Since you have arrived in Luoyang, why haven't you come to escort you for a long time? ”

"Your Majesty! There is a reason for this, I heard that the Southern Xiongnu Youxian King killed my Han people in the Hedong area, kidnapped my Han wife and daughter, and General Anton went to Hedong to quell the chaos, and he wanted to show the prestige of my Han Dynasty,......" Yang Biao said.

"Shut up, don't say more, I have made up my mind, I don't need Feng Yao, I also have a way to solve the current difficulties!" Liu Xie shouted.

Yang Biao didn't dare to speak further, and withdrew with a long sigh with Yang Zhong.

……

Hedong County, Dongyuan City

It's getting late

Feng Yao, who had slept beautifully all afternoon, had actually woken up, but at this time, he closed his eyes, listening to the beautiful sound of the hole flute, and a light smile appeared on his face.

"Well...... yes, it's so good, in the sound of this flute, there is a good hope in the lowness, which makes people not only not sad, but happy! Well...... I didn't expect Cai Wenji to be so proficient in!! It's so much better than some of my musical instrument maids! ......, but I don't know what kind of tune the eighteen-beat Hu Ji has not yet been born in the legend, but unfortunately this song will not appear again in the future! ……”

Cai Wenji originally just wanted to sing a song to Feng Yao to help Feng Yao fall asleep, but after singing a song, she found that Feng Yao slept very sweetly, as if she was smiling in her dreams, and couldn't help but look stupid.

The sound of the flute circled happily, and soon, another song ended.

"General, since you've woken up, why don't you get up and discuss the artistic conception of this song with your concubine?" Cai Wenji glanced at Feng Yao, who was lying beside her, chuckled, her jade teeth opened lightly, and her voice was more moving than the sound of the flute. (To be continued.) )
