Chapter 262: Heroes in troubled times

Chapter 262 1uan is born of a hero

Wang Yun turned around and shouted, "The adults who have Yulin Army at home, please come and talk."

The Yulin Army is an army directly under the royal family, although the strongest generals were taken out by Yuan Shao to fight the Yellow Turban Army, but there are still more than 10,000 people left in Beijing, and the Yulin Army is not paid empty, it is all a radish and a pit, so even if the combat effectiveness is not strong, there is no need to worry about the lack of soldiers

The Yulin Army is not the same as other armies, the commander is not necessarily easy to speak, which Yulin Army has a backer, the difference is only in the size of the backer for the Yulin Army, do not listen to the commander's orders, and even do it with the commander It doesn't matter, as long as their backer can be leveled, and their backers are generally their own relatives and elders, so other armies listen to the words of the chief, and the Yulin Army often listens to the words of their own adults, and the special composition of the army members determines the particularity of the Yulin Army when it acts. 【】

After Wang Yun asked this sentence, almost all the ministers shouted, all the ministers have relatives in the Yulin army, even if they are not their sons and nephews, they are also their distant relatives, anyway, there are generals in the Yulin army who can speak.

Even Cao Cao said: "Lord Wang, Cao also has a position in the Yulin Army, and he is in charge of the forage field."

In the past, Cao Cao was sent by He Jin to take care of the forage field, which was simply ignored by the old Cao family, and Cao Cao was extremely dissatisfied with this. But now at such a critical moment, the function of managing the forage field is beneficial to the operation. The forage field is the place where the fodder for the war horses of the Yulin Army is supplied, in other words, he controls the supply of the cavalry of the Yulin Army, and he usually does nothing, just a person who works hard, but at the critical moment, the forage field can be used as a CAO performance field, and the army can be assembled there

Wang Yun said: "Okay, Meng De, you are in charge of the forage field, which can facilitate our assembly of troops in Beijing." Listen to me, my lords, after we enter Beijing, you immediately rush to the Yulin Army, persuade the sons and nephews of each family, let them follow us into the palace Qingjun side, eradicate the Shichang shì, and the place where the army is assembled is the forage field, the reason is to give the war horse fodder, so that it will not cause too much movement, and the Shichang shì will not be alert."

Cao Cao and the ministers, Wang Yun's method is very good, lest the Yulin army go to the cao arena, and a large number of soldiers will be assembled, which will definitely attract the attention of Zhang Rang and others, in case someone is sent out to sabotage, wouldn't it be bad.

Everyone discussed, and rushed to the direction of Luoyang again, the journey was very smooth, they also walked on the avenue, and it was not very far from the camp of the Fujiao army, strictly speaking, the Fujiao scouts would cruise on the entire avenue, so many people were in a hurry, and the Fujiao soldiers would definitely come to inspect.

To everyone's surprise, the Fujiao army did not come, and there was not a single Fujiao soldier on the entire avenue, but instead encountered many servants from various prefectures who ran out of the capital, and these servants all came out to find their master and report the news

Non-stop, no matter how old the ministers were, they all burst out with full energy, frantically rushed to Beijing, and when it was dawn, they rushed back to the capital Luoyang.

This early in the morning, there was a lot of fog, and the whole of Luoyang was shrouded in a white fog, and when the ministers arrived at the city gate, the city gate had not yet been opened, and there were no people waiting at the city gate. Usually, there are people who get up early to enter the city to do small business, will wait at the city gate, just wait for the city gate to open, then enter the city to sell things, whoever can go in first, whose things can naturally be sold first, is usually very lively at the city gate, but today it is deserted, and there is not a single person on the other side of the moat.

Coming to the moat, Wang Yun said: "I don't know if it's because of the fog, or if the news of the great changes in Beijing has come out, so that the people don't dare to enter the city?" ”

Cao Cao said: "There is such a big thing in Beijing, and Zhang Rang has not blocked the news, the rumor must have spread all over the city, but if it spreads to the countryside outside the city, it seems that it will not be so fast."

At this time, the old minister who didn't deal with Wang Yun tǐng came over and said: "Fei Ye, the news of the change in the capital should have spread from outside the city to the city, and as the old man expected, the reason why Zhang Rang was in a hurry to do it was because the news spread so violently that it was no longer spreading news, but it became spreading rumors, so Zhang Rang was anxious." You forget, at the beginning, Lord Wang went to find Li Qin outside the city, and deceived the vanguard of the Fujiao Army, but the reason used was that Zhang Rang did not let the Fujiao Army enter the city, and the people present at that time did not have tens of thousands, more than 10,000, that is definitely there Think about it, more than 10,000 mouths to say one thing, then how many things will become one thing? ”

Wang Yun suddenly sighed, nodded and said, "Yes, that's exactly the reason."

Cao Cao's brows furrowed, but then he stretched out again, with a slight smile on his face, and said, "This time, I will wait for Beijing to enter Beijing, and great things will be done."

Wang Yun and the ministers all nodded, and they all saw this. Zhang Rang and Shichang shì are not big things in the end, they rely on Li Qin's troops, and do not take the courtiers in their eyes, but Wang Yun only used a little trick, which made them suspicious of Li Qin, so they acted impatiently, but after killing He Jin, they did not immediately go out of the palace to control the Yulin Army, and did not even send someone out to contact Li Qin, let alone send someone out to arrest the minister, just waited in the palace, waiting for Li Qin to meet them. This is a typical way of thinking for eunuchs, sitting and waiting, rather than taking the initiative to attack, they settle the affairs in the palace very quickly, but the outside of the palace is procrastinating, if these eunuchs can also become a big climate, then there are really no heroes in the world

Wang Yun said: "I'll call the city, but I don't know if the city gate soldiers are controlled by Zhang Rang, if they are controlled, then we will be in trouble, I'm afraid they will tell Zhang Rang that we are back."

After speaking, Wang Yun rode to the moat, raised his voice, and shouted: "Which general is on duty in the city, please come out and speak, this official shì Yushi Wang Yun, I want to enter the city and order you to open the city gate." ”

At this time, a head had already poked out of the city, although the fog was heavy, but there was a large group of people outside the city, if the city guards didn't know, then what city gate they were guarding, I am afraid that they could not even guard the door of their own house.

One of the teams was shouting: "Lord Wang, it's not that we don't open the city gates, but there is an order from the palace, saying that no one can open the city gate without the order of Lieutenant Zhang, and no one can be allowed to enter." ”

Wang Yun said angrily: "Zhang Zhongguan, are you talking about Zhang Rang?" What is he, a eunuch, and what power does he have to restrict the opening and closing of the gates? You open the door."

The team in the city only apologized, hoping for Wang Yun's forgiveness, but refused to open the city gate. From his words, it can be heard that he is not Zhang Rang's person, he is just acting on orders, as long as Wang Yun has someone on his side who can suppress Zhang Rang, he will open the city gate, as long as he is not held accountable afterwards, he is clearing up the involvement, but he is not necessarily not opening the city gate.

Wang Yun retreated to the team and said: "It sounds like Zhang Rang didn't completely control the city gate, if he is a person who can achieve great things, at least he has to send small yellow gate supervisors at each city gate, no matter what, the guards can't be given a chance to open the city gate."

The ministers shook their heads and sighed, the reason is very simple, Zhang Rang is not a person with great ability, but now the city gate is not opened, even if their gang is powerful, and Zhang Rang is not powerful, then they have no choice

Cao Cao suddenly said: "Let Cao try, maybe it can be" He stepped forward and said loudly: "Listen to the city, there is a change in Beijing, the emperor has passed down the holy decree, ordering Li Qin, the assassin of Liangzhou, to enter the king of Jingqin, the Fujiao army brigade has arrived, and we and other courtiers are going to welcome Li Tingshi." Wait for the city to open the city, and welcome the division of King Qin into Jingping 1uan"

The team in the city is being taken aback, the Holy Decree? This reason is sufficient, and he said with some hesitation: "I don't know where the holy purpose is, can this general make it clear?" "He is not qualified to verify the truth of the holy decree, but what should be said must be said, he is a gatekeeper, and he can't control the affairs above, as long as nothing happens to his own side, everything will be fine

How is it in the city, Cao Wei, how can you check the reason of the holy decree, do you still understand the rules. Also, if you don't open the city gates, when the Fujiao army arrives, you will become a traitor's accomplice, do you want to block the car? ”

Wang Yun and the ministers in the back heard that Cao Cao actually pulled the tiger skin of the Fujiao Army to scare the city gate guards in Luoyang, and everyone couldn't help but grin, but after thinking about it for a while, there is no better way to solve the current predicament, at least this method is the fastest, don't want anything else now, you have to be fast, you can't waste time

Sure enough, the team above immediately softened and shouted, "The last general naturally doesn't dare to open the city gate for all the adults."

With a creak, the drawbridge was lowered and the gates opened

Cao Cao immediately rode into the city, Wang Yun and a group of ministers followed and went in, Lu Bu walked at the back of the crowd, and although there were no pursuers behind, he made a full posture.

Looking at Cao shouting away, he thought to himself: "It seems that Cao Cao is indeed superior, and I want to learn his methods." Since Cao Cao will use other people's names to achieve his own goals, why can't I? It seems that I also have to take advantage of Li Qin's name, Li Qin's name is really useful."

After everyone entered Luoyang, Cao Cao immediately rushed to the forage field with his generals to prepare in advance, while the ministers rushed to the camp of the Yulin army, but Lu Bu fell behind.

Lu Bu knew in his heart that he didn't want to kick the Yulin Army, Cao Cao would not let go of power, Wang Yun would not either, and neither would those ministers, take a step back and say, even if they give themselves a part of the Yulin Army, it is useless, he has no roots, how can he control the army of the Yulin Army, if he wants to have his own strength, he must think of some other ways

Glancing at the two rows of city gate guards at the city gate, Lu Bu thought to himself: "Just them, these people belong to the county soldiers, although their status is low, but it is precisely because of their low status that I can scare them."

Lu Bu stopped his horse, looked at the city gate guards, and asked, "Are you waiting for the Yulin Army?" ”

The team was stunned for a moment, thinking: "Why is this a question, if we are the Yulin Army, can we guard the city gate here?"

He replied respectfully: "Back to the general's words, the last general is not the Yulin Army, according to the rules, the city gate is indeed under the control of the Yulin Army, but the Yulin Army has not guarded the city gate for a long time, originally there was the chief of the Yulin Army who was in charge of the town, but due to the crusade against the Yellow Turban Thieves, the Yulin Army chou transferred manpower, and the chief went on the expedition, so now it is the county soldiers like the last general who are responsible, but we still listen to the above meaning"

For Lu Bu, there is no need for the team to explain in such detail, the officialdom in the capital is complicated, and there are many irregularities all over the city, even if he explains, he can't explain it clearly, but because he doesn't know Lu Bu's identity, he answers like this, he doesn't want to be a backing for anyone

Lu Bu was silent for a moment, and said: "The general you said knows that you have a great responsibility to guard the city gate, but the salary is low, and life must be hard."

In a word, it went to the hearts of the city gate guards, there were many taxes and miscellaneous taxes in the capital, and the people entered the city gate to ask for money, which was called the city gate donation, for the city gate guards, it was originally an errand with oil and water, and the Yulin army rushed to do it before. But later Zhang Rang set the amount of money donated to the city gate, and a certain number must be reached every day, if it is not reached, the chief officer will be punished, because the amount is too high, the chief officials often do not meet the requirements, not only have no oil and water to fish, but they also have to be scolded from time to time, so that the Yulin army is not done, and the county soldiers are changed, but the county soldiers also do not meet the requirements, but they have no backing, so there is no way to be punished, and they have to suffer if they feel wronged.

The team was greatly moved, and said: "The general is still considerate of us, not like those big officials in the palace."

As soon as Lu Bu heard this prison sao, he immediately had an idea, and he said: "How many county soldiers like you are in the capital?" How long can it be assembled? ”

The team was stunned for a moment, and didn't understand why he asked, he said: "There are more than 20,000 people in total, but they are all scattered, both inside and outside the city, we are county soldiers, and we don't usually use cao to act, so it's difficult to assemble."

In fact, the county soldiers in Luoyang have never been assembled, and there is a saying in Luoyang that a good iron does not hit nails, and a good man should not be a soldier. This soldier is not referring to the Yulin Army, but their county soldiers, the county soldiers in the capital are far inferior to the local county soldiers, rich people will not let their children be county soldiers in the capital, either as the Yulin Army, or go to the towns outside Gyeonggi to be county soldiers, there are very few in the capital, the county soldiers in the capital are to put it bluntly, they are miscellaneous hard labor, what is there to assemble

Lu Bu frowned, and asked again, "How many people can be gathered in half an hour?" ”

The team was a little dazed, he had never thought about this kind of question, and he had never asked it, he asked: "If we go down to collect taxes normally, the brothers will gather the fastest at that time, and if we notify it now, it will only take three quarters of an hour, and there will be about six hundred people in our Xicheng alone."

The county soldiers looked at Lu Bu together, not knowing what he was asking for

Lu Bu thought to himself: "Six hundred or so people, too few, and according to his meaning, it is not even a formed army." However, if you support the bold and starve the cowardly, as long as you dare to play with your life, six hundred people will be about the same."

Lu Bu said: "Don't hide it from your brothers, this general's surname is Lu Mingbu, but he is the captain of the military academy of Wuyuan County in Fujiao Army and Prefecture, you can hear it by listening to my accent, right?" ”

The team was shaking their heads with the county soldiers, they couldn't hear it, they didn't even know that there was a Gohara County in the state

Lu Bu turned around and pointed out of the city, and said, "My Li Lang will enter the city immediately, and the changes in the palace will soon be calmed down." I'm not afraid of the brothers' jokes, General Ben can't be reused in the Fujiao Army, and like you, he's a bitter man," he said, sighing.

As soon as he heard that the majestic general in front of him turned out to be a reluctant member of the Fujiao Army, the relationship between the team and the county soldiers and him instantly became closer. If it had been put in the past, Lu Bu said this, these county soldiers might not believe it, but just now a large group of ministers, Cao Cao and Wang Yunke were just an excuse to use the Fujiao Army, inadvertently, it was equivalent to indirectly "proving" that Lu Bu was a member of the Fujiao Army, this Shunfeng Banner, Lu Bu pulled it effortlessly, and Cao Cao Cao and Wang Yun did it for him.

Lu Bu perked up and said loudly: "No one wants to be unwilling, I am no exception, I think you all want to go out of the way, now the palace has changed greatly, it is a good time for us to make contributions, if you are willing, it is better to call more brothers, let's be a pioneer, go to the palace gate to shout, whether we can enter or not, but we are the first team to respond to the emperor's holy decree, and rewards are indispensable." Of course, the great merit has to be set up by Li Lang and all the adults, at most we are picking up some small bargains, do you have the idea of picking up bargains with me? Let's go together, it's unlikely that you'll be able to soar, but it's not difficult to buy a house and land while taking advantage of 1uan's strength to get some property."

The team and the county soldiers sizzled, and they all breathed a cool sigh of relief, and their hearts were collectively moved

If you want to say that they have made great achievements, got too many benefits, and since then they have been out of the ground and made steady progress, they don't believe it, but it is not good to incite them, but they can only say that they can pick up a little cheap, and they can live a comfortable life in the future, then they will believe it, and they are very willing to participate, to put it bluntly, it is to take advantage of the fire to rob, and everyone will do this without being taught by others

County soldiers, look at me, let me look at you, since those ministers just now have proved that there must be great changes in the palace, Li Qin's army is coming again, and the captain in front of him is still a captain of the Fujiao Army, and he is just going to fight a group of eunuchs, and he has backers, and things are not difficult, and the chance of wealth is ten, so why don't you do it? After suffering all his life, if he doesn't seize the opportunity to make a profit, will it be difficult for his children and grandchildren to suffer like himself?

The team stomped their feet and said: "It's done, I've had enough of this kind of hungry days, and now I have this kind of good opportunity, fight."

The soldiers gritted their teeth and shouted, "Fight hard"

Lu Budao: "Okay, let's go find someone, you have to hurry, don't let the Yulin Army take the lead"

The team said: "General Lu, let's go to the palace, you can recruit people with a shout on the way, our county soldiers are different from their Yulin army, although there are not many people, but they can be recruited but not troublesome, no need to assemble, shout and everyone can run"

Lu Bu rode horses, and the county soldiers ran on the ground, and everywhere they went, the county soldiers shouted loudly, and from time to time the county soldiers joined. Every time a newcomer arrives, the team is explaining to them, and when they talk about it, they actually say that everyone is ordered to move things in the palace

Will the emperor order everyone to move the things in the palace? Definitely not, but who cares about this now

The Fujiao army is about to enter the city, everyone wants to go to the wealth, and it is okay to leave others, but everyone is unwilling to leave themselves...... I can't run, there are so many alleys, and everyone is a local, drilling
