Chapter 256: Provocation
Wang Yun turned over and said loudly: "I'm not crazy, it's not that I'm going to see Li Qin, but let's all go to see Li Qin together!" He glanced at the ministers, and saw that these so-called colleagues were all stunned and at a loss, and there was not even a single one who followed him on the horse.
Wang Yun had already expected it, don't look at the usual cheerfulness of these ministers, but when it comes to the critical moment, as soon as they encounter characters that are not easy to mess with, they will all wilt, and they will all become rookies, one by one, and he is naturally extremely angry in his heart!
In fact, he didn't need to be angry at all, the ministers in the court were like this, in real history, after Dong Zhuo entered Beijing, the ministers were even more wasteful than now, including himself, they didn't dare to openly confront Dong Taishi, and in the end, he relied on the beauty trick to kill Dong Zhuo, and among the ministers, except for Cao Ying, who dared to assassinate him, none of the ministers helped him. Now the situation is not bad, at least the ministers can follow him out of the city, use him as a background, and deceive the leading generals of the Fujiao Army.
Wang Yun was angry in his heart, but the more angry he was, the calmer his expression became, and he said: "Ladies and gentlemen, if you want to go back to the city, then go back, but I advise you, it is best not to enter the palace, just hide in your own mansion, lest Li Qin lead the troops to wash the palace in blood and kill you as fellow party members when he exterminates the eunuchs." Even if you don't think about yourself, you have to think about your family, especially if you have a lot of female dependents in the family, think about what kind of result your female dependents will be if they fall into the hands of those fierce horn soldiers, think about it carefully! After saying that, he immediately rode his mount and went west to meet Li Qin's Fujiao Army Headquarters!
In the same place, ministers, look at me, I look at you, look at each other, there are still countless people on both sides of the avenue, although they are far away, they can't hear what Wang Yun and the ministers said, but it seems that the people all know that the old men of the capital and the Fujiao army in Xiliang have a dirty relationship, and they are afraid that there will be trouble!
The common people don't think too much and too deeply, the things they think about are very simple, the current situation is that the Yellow Turban thieves will hit Luoyang immediately, and the Beijing officials are helpless, and finally came to reinforcements, and it is a very powerful reinforcement, but they can't even enter the city, and they are blocked out of the city gate by the Beijing officials, so they can only leave angrily, so doesn't this mean that Luoyang is in danger again!
The capital is rich, there are many rich people, and there are many idlers, and many idle and bored people shouted and asked the ministers why they didn't let the Fujiao army enter the city, and why didn't they let the strongest army in the world enter the city to consolidate the city defense! The people don't fight with the officials, although the people who shout this are hiding in the crowd, but when there are more people shouting, the voice will naturally be louder!
The ministers were really anxious, and some people shouted anxiously, saying that they were ordered by Zhang Rang to not let the Fujiao army enter the city!
The people don't know the specific situation, the ministers talk nonsense, shirk responsibility, so that rumors immediately flew all over the sky, and even some idlers joined their imagination, violently broke the news, saying that Zhang Rang and other eunuchs want to seek power and usurp the throne, and so on, spread and spread, it turned out to be a collusion between the Yellow Turban thieves and the eunuchs, Zhang Rang and Zhang Jiao were brothers, so Zhang Rang wanted to offer the city to Zhang Jiao, Luoyang was going to be occupied by the Yellow Turban thieves, everyone's good words are over, they are going to be finished, and the end of the Han Dynasty has arrived...... What the people think, how to spread rumors, it is all the people's business, but the ministers don't have time to gossip, and at this time, the ministers keep coming out of the city, they all learned about Wang Yun going out of the city to meet the Fujiao army, so they hurriedly came!
When the ministers arrived at the scene, they learned that Wang Yun actually gave Zhang Rang an "order" and asked the Fujiao army to rush directly to the battlefield, and even the city did not let the Fujiao army enter, so they were directly blown away, and Wang Yun went to see Li Qin again!
Whether they arrived first or later, the ministers were all like ants on a hot pot, panicking.
After arguing for a long time, a minister finally shouted: "There are two ways to go now, either follow Wang Yun to the end, and see what ability he has to hold Li Qin, maybe he can rescue General He, and then there is another way to take refuge in Zhang Rang's eunuchs, just these two roads." Anyway, the official will never have anything to do with the eunuch, you can do whatever you like, the official is going to chase the king, and he will definitely help him! When the minister had finished shouting, he called his servant to bring his horse over, and he got on his horse and went west to pursue Wang Yun.
When other ministers thought about it, many people felt that this was indeed the case, and now it was a critical moment for the officialdom to stand in line, either on the side of Wang Yun and He Jin, in fact, it was equivalent to standing on the side of the prince, or on the side of Zhang Rang and other ten permanent servants, to put it bluntly, it was on the side of the prince Liu Xie, anyway, these two teams, standing on the right side of the door will not fall, the wealthy family is still a wealthy family, maybe the small wealthy family can become a big wealthy family, and then brilliant, but if you stand on the wrong team, it will be a catastrophe, and the family will be ruined!
If you want to talk about opinions, as long as there are many people, there is no reunification, and the officials have to consider their own interests and quarrel endlessly, but if it involves the big problem of standing in line, then the quarrel will end immediately, and ninety percent of the ten ministers immediately get on the horse, chase Wang Yun, and let them take refuge in the ten permanent servants, which is impossible; The other Yicheng, who hesitated in place for a while, also got on the horse, but instead of chasing Wang Yun, he went back to the city, and when he entered the city gate, the ministers of this Cheng were divided into two groups, one group entered the palace to make ten permanent servants, and reported to Zhang Rang; The other group of ministers returned to their homes, these people are tantamount to giving up the road to advancement, not seeking promotion, only seeking stability, neither team stands, does not mix with the government, this is called Mingzhe to protect himself.
Wang Yun hurried all the way, desperately hurrying, and drove out a hundred and ten miles in one go, until the mount was exhausted, and he did not stop. Wang Yun got off the mount and felt that the thighs in his two legs were extremely painful, and it was estimated that the thighs were worn out in the violent galloping!
He sat on the side of the road and looked behind, but because the avenue was bent, he did not see any colleagues chasing after him, and he was disappointed in his heart, and scolded his colleagues for being cowardly, all of whom were useless.
was resting, but saw a group of people running on the road in front of him, it seemed to be a scout of the Fujiao Army, the leader was a sharp-beaked monkey gills, like an ape, but looking at the military uniform, he was a captain, obviously a senior officer in the Fujiao Army.
Wang Yun hurriedly stood up and shouted, "Generals, but the Fujiao Army, but Li Lang's subordinates?" ”
The team of people who came was the scout of the Fujiao Army, and the leader of the troops was the scout leader Wu Danzi, Li Qin couldn't go too fast with the team, and there was no need to go too fast, but the army was carried out, and the scouts must be sent, Wu Danzi personally led a team of people and horses to spy in front of the army, and it happened to be blocked by Wang Yun here!
Seeing that it was a man wearing an official uniform, Wu Danzi immediately tightened the reins, slowed down his horse, trotted over, and asked with a smile on his face, "Yes, we are the Fujiao Army, and we are Li Lang's direct scouts, may I ask this adult, how to call it?" His expression was quite polite, but his behavior was a little worse, and he did not dismount.
Wang Yun thought to himself: "These horn-raising soldiers are all domineering, and when they see me, they can't even get off the horse, which shows how far Li Qin has to go!" ”
I was not happy in my heart, but I didn't dare to show it on my face, and I didn't even dare to weaken my smile by half a minute, Wang Yun said: "Wang Yun, the lower official serving Yushi, was ordered by General He to leave Beijing Baili to greet Li Lang, I don't know how far Li Lang is from here?" ”
Wang Yun said this, it can be said that he has given enough face to the Fujiao Army, in order to welcome Li Qin, he served Lord Yushi in a dignified manner and welcomed out a hundred miles, which is quite a big face. According to his estimates, this scout leader must be moved!
But he was wrong, Wu Danzi was not only not moved, but the only smile on his face disappeared, and he said loudly: "Why, since you are here to greet my Li Lang, why are you alone, then He Jin is too blind, even my Li Lang dares to slack off!" ”
Wang Yun was taken aback, how could it be this kind of reaction, I greeted Baili, Baili, this is still called slackness, what is it like not to be sluggish? He suddenly thought, did the vanguard of the Fujiao Army send someone to Li Qin to say something, so this scout leader reacted like this?
As soon as Wu Danzi finished saying this, he tilted his head and suddenly smiled: "Well, it's not you, there are at least hundreds of people behind you, this is like a little talk!" ”
Wang Yun was slightly stunned, he turned around, but he still didn't see a minister chasing after him, but since the other party was eating the bowl of rice of scouts, someone should have chased him!
A scout jumped off his horse, lay on the ground and listened, then got up and said: "More than three hundred and fifty horsemen, less than four hundred, all light horses, but they don't run fast, it should be a civilian official riding a horse, just like him!" He pointed at Wang Yun.
Wu Danzi smiled at Wang Yun and said, "Are you someone sent by Zhang Rang?" What do you have to say to my Li Lang? With a wave of his hand, the dismounted scout immediately pounced and began to search Wang Yun to see if he had any weapons on him.
Wang Yun thought to himself: "It seems that the Fujiao soldiers are running much faster than me, Li Qin should have received the letter, knowing that I passed on Zhang Rang's order and let the vanguard rush to the battlefield, but I think Li Qin still doesn't know that I am lying." ”
Before Wang Yun could speak, there was the sound of horses' hooves behind him, and the ministers finally caught up, judging from the number of people, it was exactly the same as the scout's estimate, less than four hundred, but among them were not only the ministers, but also some of their retinues.
When the ministers arrived, Wang Yun said loudly: "This general, I won't tell you, I am not Zhang Rang's person, but a courtier loyal to the emperor, the emperor is now critically ill, and has issued an order for the prince to succeed to the throne, but Zhang Rang in order to control the government, he actually blocked the palace with his minions, and also put General He in prison, he wants to change the prince Liu Xie as the emperor, and even the emperor was placed under house arrest by him. ”
Wu Danzi was taken aback and exclaimed, "What, how can this happen? ”
