Chapter 460: Heading West
Xie Sichun thought for a while and said: "Now we have another way to avoid this disaster, which is to immediately lure Yang Zhong into Xiangguo's mansion, and then send people to capture Xue Yusheng, Dou Luguang and others, and send henchmen to take over the Qizhou army." Yu Wenhu immediately agreed, and said, "Then who should we send to take over the Qizhou Army?"www.biquge.info Xie Sichun thought for a while and said, "Cui Meng, I think he's quite suitable." Yuwen Hu immediately objected: "Cui Meng can't do it, then it is better to send Wang Yan, the secretary of the military department." Xie Sichun has a Cui Meng in his mind, but Cui Meng has a talented background but is very humble, and Yuwen Hu also takes into account that he can't convince the public. After all, the Qizhou army is a strong army, and he may not be able to hold it down.
Xie Sichun didn't want to argue with Yuwen Hu, so he said: "Let's do this first, immediately issue an urgent military order to Yang Zhong, and say that you have something to discuss with him about tomorrow's pursuit of Gao Huan, and let him come quickly." Hearing this, Yuwen Hu nodded and said, "Well, just do as you say." As he spoke, he asked the Huangmen squire to take his own edict to see Yang Zhong, but this Huangmen squire was Yang Zhong's fellow countryman, and he had a good relationship with him in the past, and at this moment he knew that this was a trick for Xie Sichun and Yuwen Hu to deceive him by placing him under house arrest, and when he arrived in Yang Zhong's camp, he told everything in private.
At this time, Yang Zhong, Xue Yusheng, Dou Luguang and others were dumbfounded, but Xue Yusheng reacted quickly, and he quickly said: "Lord, I have a bitter plan, I don't know if it is feasible." Yang Zhong hurriedly said, "You speak out first and listen to it." Xue Yusheng said: "We can only act immediately, forge Yuwen Hu's edict and take the people out of the city overnight, as for the adult who sent the letter to suffer a little, let's tie him up here after being injured, and create a false impression for Yuwen Hu and Si Chun: We got up in advance and were broken by this person, so we were in a hurry to go out of the city overnight." ”
Yang Zhong nodded and said, "Your explanation is very reasonable, then arrange it immediately as you say." Dou Luguang immediately said a little worriedly: "But there is no one on Yuwen Hu's side to explain, they will soon find out about the matter, and then I am afraid that the matter will be revealed before we leave the city." Yang Zhongyou turned his head and asked Xue Yusheng: "Yes, what General Dou said is reasonable, and it doesn't seem safe for us to do this." ”
Xue Yusheng frowned and said: "Now there is only one step at a time, as long as the lord is in the army, even if Yuwen Hu wants to do it, he will have to worry about three points, after all, we have so many people in the city, and we are about to make trouble, I am afraid that it will be cheaper for the Eastern Wei army outside the city." Yang Zhong hurriedly said: "Since this is the case, don't talk nonsense, let's act quickly, we can mobilize people and horses out of the city." ”
Over there, Yuwen Hu had waited for almost an hour and hadn't seen Yang Zhong's person appear, Xie Sichun said, "It seems that something has happened, let's act immediately." I don't think Yang Zhong will come back today. Yuwen Hu immediately got up and said, "Come on, bring my armor and sword." "This is to be fully armed with people and horses Yang Zhong in front of Xingshi to ask for guilt, Xie Sichun also took off his coat and put on an inner soft armor. Then Cui Meng took two thousand forbidden troops to escort the two to Yang Zhong's marshal mansion, but when he went in, he saw that the people had already been left empty, and in the main house, he saw that the Huangmen squire was tied to the ground, with strips of cloth stuffed in his mouth, and many scars on his body showed that this person had been beaten.
Yuwen Hujia raised his hand and pulled it up and asked, "What about Yang Zhong and their people?" The strip of cloth in the mouth of the Huangmen squire was taken out, and he kept retching (deliberately delaying time), and only said for a long time: "As soon as I came, I found out that they were plotting secretly, so Yang Zhong sent someone to tie me up and beat me severely, wanting to ask for your secret." I'd rather die than give in, and be loyal to them......"
Yuwen Hu waved his hand and interrupted him angrily, saying, "To the point, where did they go?" Only then did the Huangmen squire nod and said, "They all ran away, and as soon as they heard that you wanted to see him, this grandson ran away with someone." Xie Sichun stepped forward and said, "It is estimated that they have just left, so let's catch up now." Yuwen Hu suddenly got up and said: "Pass me on the order, without my permission, the gate of the Quartet cannot be opened without authorization." Then he squatted down and asked the Yellow Gate Squire, "In which direction did they run away?" The Huangmen squire pointed to the west gate and said, "Qizhou direction." ”
Yuwen Hu took Xie Sichun and Cui Meng and two thousand forbidden troops, and came to the west gate at speed, just when he saw the last Qizhou army walking out of the city, Yuwen Hu immediately ordered the city gate to be closed, he and Xie Sichun climbed up the city tower, and saw Yang Zhong not far away, Yuwen Hu shouted loudly: "Why did Yang Gong lead the troops out late at night, what is the reason?" Yang Zhong under the city also seemed to see Yuwen Hu, and immediately clasped his fists and said: "Lord Xiangguo, at this moment, the minister's family and children have been attacked by Tuyuhun, and the minister has no choice but to make this decision, and I hope that Xiangguo will forgive the sin, and when I come back, I will take the blame in person." ”
Looking at the back of Yang Zhong leaving with the army, Yuwen Hu knew in his heart that it was absolutely impossible for him to come back, Xie Sichun was also very annoyed, Cui Meng ran up from the city gate at this time and asked, "Xiangguo, do you want the last general to take someone out to chase him?" Yuwen Hu sat down dejectedly, waved his hand and said helplessly: "You can't catch up if you chase it, besides, how can you beat his elite soldiers?" Let him go. ”
Yuwen Hu's last sentence was full of despair, at this moment he already had huge doubts about whether he could hold Chang'an, even Yang Zhong left him, Yuan Xin was still fighting Dugu Xin alone in Jingzhou at the moment, he felt extremely lonely and helpless at this moment, and he didn't know what to do. Xie Sichun comforted him and said: "Xiangguo doesn't have to worry, fortunately, Gao Huan has also withdrawn the army, we can use this time to recuperate, and then wait for the opportunity to fight Gao Huan, as long as Tuyuhun's Fu Lian can hold him back, we still have a chance." ”
Yuwen Hu didn't sleep all night, and although there were people outside the city, there was no joy in his heart, but he was very worried. Xie Sichun sent Cui Meng early in the morning to take back several small cities near Chang'an, but the news he got was very unfavorable, because He Batsheng in the Luoyang region had entered Tongguan with an army of 100,000, and was rushing to Zheng County at the moment, and it was expected that the troops would be able to come to the city in two days.
Gao Huan's army marched all the way to the west and entered Qizhou, when he knew that Yang Zhong's troops were also chasing him from Luoyang, he mistakenly thought that he was coming to pursue him, because at this moment even Li Hu's Huazhou army was moving with the army, although Gao Bin himself stayed in the central county, he also sent Chai Yanping and other generals to help. Yang Kan said confidently: "Don't worry, the king, this Yang Zhong is definitely not here to attack us." ”
In fact, Gao Huan also knows this matter, but he is just a little scared, he used to do things resolutely, but recently he has become more and more timid, and even he himself is very uncomfortable with this change, probably because he is now more and more bold on his shoulders, and many things can no longer be as free as before. He also issued an order to Gao Yue of Bashu to send troops, and Gao Yue then reassigned Chen Baxian as the governor, and commanded 30,000 troops to go north to Liangzhou, one to exterminate the remnants of Li Bi, and the other to help Gao Huan.
Tuyuhun's capital is in Fuyi City, fifteen miles west of Qianghuan, Fu Lianchou is anxious in the city at the moment to discuss the invasion of the Central Plains, he is now not satisfied with only owning the Hexi Corridor, his ambition seems to be ignited by the big battle in Guanzhong, seeing that Ganzhou and Qinzhou have been occupied by themselves, and Qizhou is about to fall into the palm of his hand, he wants to enter the Central Plains more and more at this moment.
