Chapter 156: Luoyang Chaos
Until Yang Changshi saw the Luoyang city wall, he didn't understand how he was fooled by Mr. Kong Ming, who was greedy for life and afraid of death, Yang Changshi only knew one thing that Mr. Kong Ming, who seemed to be gentle and harmless to people and animals, was definitely not under the little thief of his own lord Tao Ying! Just like when Tao Yingxiao fooled himself into returning to Yuanshu's camp to be an internal annihilation, this Mr. Kong Ming also fooled himself to Luoyang with countless glory, wealth, fame and fortune, and did a lack of virtue for Mr. Kong Ming that was definitely harmful to others and himself!
In addition to the ability to fool people, Mr. Kong Ming is also very knowledgeable, knowing that with Yang Changshi's greed for life and fear of death and cowardice like a mouse, no matter how much fame and money are tempted to lure him, he may not really dare to break into Luoyang, a dangerous place of life and death, and maybe he will smear oil on the soles of his feet halfway, so Mr. Kong Ming simply borrowed ten family soldiers from the rich student Ah Yi to 'escort' our Yang Changshi to Luoyang - this is also the point that Yang Changshi, who tried to escape halfway several times, hated Mr. Kong Ming the most.
Ah Yi's family soldiers only escorted Yang Changshi to Pingyin, and sent Yang Changshi across the Yellow River by ferry, and then said goodbye to our Yang Changshi, the more he thought about it, the more afraid Yang Changshi originally wanted to seize this opportunity to escape, but it was a pity that these soldiers escorted Yang Changshi here for no reason - the south bank of the Yellow River in this section of Pingyin was full of scouts from Yang Feng, Han Xian and other armies, as soon as Yang Changshi's ship docked, he was immediately surrounded by a large group of fierce and vicious Luoyang army scouts, and asked Yang Changshi's origin and identity violently. Yang Changshi didn't want to say that he escaped from the battle without telling his true name.
As a result, it was natural that when Yang Changshi trembled and reported his true identity and name, not only did the Yang Fengjun scouts who were looking for Yang Changshi look for him everywhere immediately salute, but the scouts from Han Xian, Dong Cheng and Zhang Yang's team also hugged their fists and bowed their hands, calling themselves adults, and sent fast horses to report the good news to Luoyang, and dispatched elite soldiers to strictly protect Yang Changshi to go south to Luoyang - our Yang Changshi naturally had no chance to escape.
What makes our Yang Changshi breathe a sigh of relief is that the situation in Luoyang City was expected by Mr. Kong Ming, and the four major warlords Yang Feng, Han Xian, Zhang Yang and Dong Cheng, who are currently joining forces to control Emperor Han Xian, have not only a friendly attitude towards Yang Changshi, but also very friendly, so that when Yang Changshi arrived on the north bank of Gushui, Yang Feng and Han Xian and other four warlords have already arrived at the Gushui bridgehead first, and personally came to welcome Yang Changshi's triumphant return, among which the strongest Yang Feng also took Yang Changshi's hand and said excitedly: "Lord Changshi, Bong Zhen didn't expect to have a chance to meet you, last time you suddenly disappeared, I said that you have been poisoned by the Cao thief, and also set up a mound for you, and cried bitterly in front of your spiritual position, I really didn't expect you to be alive, and returned to Feng's face, last time Bong misunderstood you, Bong apologized to Lord Changshi, please Lord Yang Changshi a lot, don't see Bong in general. β
"Clothed mounds? Are you Yang Feng trying to curse me to die early? Poor Yang Changshi's head was full of black lines, but he didn't dare to attack, so he could only be hypocritical and polite with Yang Feng, and at the same time apologized repeatedly, and took the initiative to explain that he was forced to escape from the Yellow River by an assassin, and only after making sure that he was safe did he come to Luoyang to meet with Yang Feng and others - this is also the method that Mr. Kong Ming taught Yang Changshi, so that Yang Changshi insisted that there was an unknown assassin, and let Yang Feng and others be suspicious and suspicious, and Yang Changshi hid aside as a victim to watch the excitement.
Sure enough, after hearing that Yang Changshi was indeed forced to flee because of the assassin's pursuit, Yang Feng, Han Xian and others really decided that the assassin must be sent by Boss Cao, and they were even more grateful to Yang Changshi for his life-sacrificing warning. What made Yang Changshi overjoyed was that Li Lang and other members of the Xuzhou envoys also came to the front, it turned out that these Xuzhou envoys were as lucky as Yang Changshi, they all stayed in Luoyang City during the Battle of Gucheng, and did not follow Boss Cao to Gucheng to face Li Dao Guo Yan, and naturally avoided the chaos of the Seven Armies that night. At the same time, Li Lang and other members of the envoy group were stained with Yang Changshi's light, not only were they not implicated after Cao Laoda's defeat to Gong County, but they were also treated politely by Yang Feng and Han Xian and others, and no one accidentally lost their lives.
finally ended the hypocritical politeness with Yang Feng, Han Xian and others, and then Yang Changshi, who was a courtier of the Han Dynasty, naturally had to enter Luoyang to meet Emperor Han Xian, but the current situation in Luoyang City surprised our Yang Changshi, Luoyang City, which was once prosperous and rich in the world, is now full of ruins, thorns and weeds everywhere, and it is almost impossible to find a house intact, and the teams of the four major warlords are all stationed in the thorny ruins, even the dignified emperor Liu Xie, They all live in makeshift thatched huts!
Seeing such a scene, we were inevitably dumbfounded by Yang Changshi, the loyal and good Han family loyal to the Han court, and there was only one thought left in our hearts - it's over! There must not be a decent house to live in, and there must not be a beautiful palace maid to serve me to wash my feet and go to bed!
Fortunately, our Yang Changshi is a person who knows how to regulate his emotions, and he was stunned, but when he saw Emperor Han Xian, who had just turned fifteen years old this year, our Yang Changshi still knelt down on his knees at a distance of thirty or fifty steps, and climbed to Emperor Han Xian on the rubble and gravel with his hands and feet, while crying under his tears, "Weichen Yang Hong, meet the Son of Heaven of the Han Dynasty!" Long live, Wei Chen's sin deserves death, Wei Chen doesn't know how long live this ordeal, he failed to rush to the Son of Heaven as soon as possible to protect King Qin, for Long Live the work of dogs and horses, even if he is broken bones, it is difficult to redeem Wei Chen's sin! Hoorayββββ! β
With a long hiss, our Yang Changshi crawled in front of Emperor Han Xian, and cried madly with his head to grab the ground, crying until the sky was dark, and the moon was dark, and the moon was dark, and he desperately condemned himself for being late for King Qin, and he deserved to die - and then our Yang Changshi carefully controlled the strength and position of grabbing the ground with his head, so as not to touch the sharp stone on the ground again from the forehead wound that had kowtowed and bleed. But anyway, just looking at the appearance of our Yang Changshi kowtowing and bleeding, he really compared Dong Cheng, Fu Wan and other famous Han loyal ministers, and the civil and military officials who were so moved that they all cried bitterly, and Emperor Han Xian, who had nothing to do, also shed tears of emotion, only hated himself for being thin and blessed, and failed to meet a Han Zhongliang like Yang Changshi earlier.
Yang Changshi's hard performance was not without gains, Emperor Han Xian was extremely moved to personally pick up the loyal minister Yang Changshi, and then promoted Yang Changshi to a first-level official position, and was named Cao Zuocheng, a great Han guest - but Yu Lu must let Tao Ying send Yang Changshi, and the official seal must also be cast by Yang Changshi himself. Although Yang Changshi is not uncommon for such useless titles, he also has to kowtow to Emperor Han Xian to thank him and show his loyalty, and Emperor Han Xian once again personally picked up Yang Changshi and choked up: "The Han family is unfortunate and has suffered many hardships, if it were not for the loyal support of loyal ministers like Qing and Yang Aiqing, I would have been left with no bones." The last time I heard that Ai Qing was missing, I was also very worried, but fortunately the sky opened my eyes and sent Yang Qing back to my side, which is really my luck. β
"Long live, Weichen escaped death thanks to the Son of Heaven Hongfu, and he was lucky to see the holy face."
Yang Changshi pretended to cry loudly, but at this time, one person stood up in the team of hundred officials, but it was Dong Zhao Dong Gongren, who had a relationship with Yang Changshi, and said to Emperor Han Xian very curiously: "Long live, Yang Zuocheng suddenly disappeared, and suddenly came to Luoyang, why didn't you ask Yang Zuocheng the reason, and ask Yang Zuocheng what kind of risks he had experienced, so he came to Long Live to see the holy face?" β
was reminded by Dong Zhao, Emperor Han Xian was suddenly very curious, and hurriedly asked Yang Changshi: "Yang Aiqing, I heard that you suddenly disappeared on the way to the tribute, Yang Cheqi and the thief Cao Ying sent countless people to find you, and in the end you can only let Qing's deputy meet you for you, what happened here?" Why did Qing suddenly disappear and return suddenly? β
"Why does this guy care? Do you want to ask me through the mouth of the emperor? Yang Changshi glanced at Dong Zhao from the corner of his eye, and had some doubts in his heart, but it was inconvenient to question directly in front of Emperor Han Xian, so he could only follow Mr. Kong Ming's pre-instructions, and retold the so-called experience of being forced to flee by encountering a mysterious assassin, and when Emperor Han Xian asked Yang Changshi if he knew the identity of the assassin, Yang Changshi insisted that he didn't know, and said that he only knew that the assassin wanted his own life as soon as he came up, and he was masked and had a Qingzhou accent - this is also Mr. Kong Ming's cleverness, Boss Cao is the assassin of Yanzhou, Yang Changshi said that the assassin is a Qingzhou accent, so naturally he did not mean to accuse Boss Cao, but everyone knows that there are not many other soldiers in Boss Cao's team, that is, Qingzhou has the most soldiers!
After listening to Yang Changshi's explanation, Emperor Han Xian, who did not know the truth, naturally sighed and sympathized with Yang Changshi's accidental assassination. Dong Zhao was also a little suspicious, and said secretly in his heart: "An assassin with a Qingzhou accent? Could it really be Meng Degong's hand? But it's impossible, Meng Degong wanted to pull Tao Ying's thief into the water from the beginning, there is no need to send someone to assassinate the Xuzhou envoy? Yang Hong, this sycophant, lied? It's impossible, Tao Ying's thief sent him to pay tribute to the Son of Heaven with Meng Degong, making it clear that he wanted to get a piece of the pie in welcoming King Qin, Yang Hong didn't need to pour dirty water on Meng Degong? What the hell is going on? β
By the way, in order to act confidentially and not leak the news, so that Boss Cao was prepared, Yang Changshi exposed Boss Cao's attempt to hijack Yang Feng was not too public, and at present, those who really know about this matter are actually only Yang Feng, Xu Huang, Han Xian, Zhang Yang and Dong Cheng in Luoyang City, and even Emperor Han Xian still relied on the secret report of his father-in-law Dong Cheng to learn about it, and in order not to affect his father-in-law, he did not dare to publicize it casually. So don't talk about Boss Cao, who was beaten by Yang Feng and Han Xian's stick, it was Boss Cao's internal annihilation Dong Zhao who brought his own dry food in Luoyang City, and they all didn't know that Yang Feng and others were determined to join forces to fight against the water, and the real cause was actually an anonymous whistleblower letter from Yang Changshi.
β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦
Doubts are doubts, Yang Changshi was forced to disappear by the assassin for more than half a month and suddenly came to Luoyang City, such an important news, Cao Jun led the way Party Dong Yilang did not dare not report to Cao Boss, after the end of the court meeting that accompanied Emperor Han Xian to meet Yang Changshi, Dong Zhao immediately wrote a letter, sent his henchmen to rush to Gong County by Mangshan Road, and sent the news to Cao Boss to know.
After Dong Zhao's family successfully delivered the news to Boss Cao, Boss Cao, whose left arm was still hanging on his chest, was also completely confused, turned to the left and right strategists and asked, "An assassin with a Qingzhou accent?" Is there really such an assassin? Or is it that Yang Hong's villain fabricated out of thin air to cover up his ugly behavior of cowardly fleeing for his life? β
Boss Cao's question is really too difficult, because of the lack of intelligence support, smart strategists such as Xun You, Guo Jia, Cheng Yu and Man Chong all looked at each other, shook their heads together, Guo Jia also coughed and said: "The lord doesn't need to care about the truth or falsehood of Yang Hong's villain's words, but you must beware of one thing, this Yang Hong villain was sent by Tao Ying thief, and strongly persuaded Yang Feng, Han Xian and other thieves to move to Xuzhou!" With the small broad, the weak and the strong, with the power of Yang Han to seek the Son of Heaven! β
"Move to Xuzhou? Bong Hyo is really good at laughing. Cao Lao, who still had war wounds on his body, laughed and said: "The imperial spirit from Xuzhou, how can the Son of Heaven be willing to move to Xuzhou?" Besides, Yang Feng, Han Xian and other thieves are not stupid, how can they be willing to give up the Son of Heaven in their hands? β
"Lord, Jia is not joking, just talking about things." Guo Jia's expression was very serious, and said: "Although Yang Feng, Han Xian and other thieves won a battle by shameless betrayal and defeated our army, our army still has more than 35,000 people, and there is still a battle strength, Li Dao and Guo Xian did not evacuate Gu County, and still threatened the safety of Luoyang, Yang Feng, Han Xian and other thieves are still in crisis, and the army and food are insufficient, it is difficult to hold for a long time, in a hurry, if there is a Tao Ying thief behind the scenes to instruct Yang Hong villain to come forward to persuade him, Yang Feng Han Xian and other thieves will inevitably have the idea of moving to Xuzhou. At that time, Dong Cheng will be unable to support himself, and he may not be moved by Yang Hong's words, Zhang Yangbing is weak and powerless to stop, and Zhang Yang hates our army to the bone, I am afraid that he may not sell Tao Ying's thief's favor, and deliberately disgust the lord. β
Boss Cao blinked his triangular eyes, and only after a long time did he hum: "Even if he Tao Ying thief has this thief's heart, he doesn't have this thief's power, his main force is far away in Huainan, rushing to Luoyang for thousands of mountains and rivers!" With the power of Yang Fenghan and the two thieves to move to Xuzhou, the road is also controlled by our army, if these two thieves have the courage to break through the blockade of our army, then just come! My arm injury is also just in time to be reckoned! β
"My lord, Yang Feng Han Xian doesn't need to risk breaking through the blockade of our army." Guo Jia said slowly: "The lord has forgotten the road of Yingchuan and Runan? Since the death of the predecessor Taishou Gaixun, Yingchuan has been leaderless, the Yellow Turban thieves, local wealthy clans and the remnants of some officers and soldiers have been divided, and no one can threaten Yang Feng Han Xian's team, and the situation in Runan is even worse, it is simply a mess of porridge, and Yang Fenghan and Han Xian's two thieves forcibly passed through Runan, which is even easier! At that time, once the two thieves and Tao Ying's thieves meet in Huaishui, even if our army pursues them to the north bank of Huaishui at any cost, they will not be able to stop Tao Ying's thieves' main force in Xuzhou. β
Boss Cao blinked his cunning triangular eyes again, suddenly jumped up like a spring, rushed to the bookshelf next to the big tent, hurriedly took out the map of the Han Dynasty with one hand, and unfolded the map with the help of Guo Jia and Xun You, after looking carefully for a while, Boss Cao couldn't help but gritted his teeth and scolded, "Tao Ying thief, wishful thinking is loud!" (Deputy Director Tao: ...... Boss Cao, what are you scolding me for? I didn't think about robbing Emperor Han Xian, is it because you are suspicious and suspicious? "Don't worry, the lord is not so easy, Yang Feng and Han Xian want to rob the Son of Heaven to Huainan. Guo Jia said unhurriedly: "If Yang Fenghan and the two thieves want to hijack the south, they must pass through Liang County, and the lord can divide an army to rush to Liang County to guard the pass, and take precautions in case of a rainy day." Then ordered Dong Gongren to spread rumors in Luoyang City, saying that Tao Ying thieves were fishing in troubled waters, trying to induce Yang Feng and Han Xian to move to Xuzhou, and then coerce the Son of Heaven to order the princes to dominate the government, Yang Feng Han Xian and the two thieves are brave and unscrupulous, and they will inevitably be suspicious when they hear the rumors, if Yang Hong villain really dares to persuade Yang Feng and Han Xian to move south to Huaishui, it is a way to kill himself! Find your own death! β
Although Boss Cao planned to pull down the Xuzhou army and bear the pressure of Yuan Shao in the robbery of Yanzhou, but when he thought of Deputy Director Tao's 'evil attempt', Boss Cao was angry, so he only thought about it for a while, and immediately gritted his teeth and said: "That's it, send Xiahoudun to lead three thousand elite soldiers to Liang County, guard the pass, and send a letter to Dong Gongren, let him act according to the plan!" β
β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦
At the same time, in the camp of Li Daojun on the outskirts of Gu County, the two bosses Li Dao and Guo Yan, who had once turned against each other, got together again and began to discuss the current military situation and discuss how to regain Emperor Han Xian's hands. However, after careful discussion, the two bosses of Li Dao and Guo Yan were a little cautious, because the current situation in Luoyang was too chaotic, and their two armies plus Cao Boss, Yang Feng, Han Xian, Dong Cheng and Zhang Yang's team, a total of seven forces were looking at Emperor Han Xian, locking each other with a chain of knots, Li Dao and Guo Yan The two bosses were greatly injured in the internal strife, and their strength was hit hard together, and they could not overwhelm the other five forces at all, and recaptured the Son of Heaven by force, and it was not only difficult to attack Luoyang. If you don't know what, you will be stabbed in the back by Boss Cao in the same way, and you will die even worse! So the discussion is helpless, and the big eyes are worried about the small eyes.
Fortunately, there is also a reliable strategist under the command of the two bosses Li Wei and Guo Yan, after Guo Yan proposed to invite him to discuss, the strategist Jia who made Deputy Director Tao salivate quickly smiled and said: "The two generals are not in a hurry, there is a plan, so that the two generals can let Yang Fenghan Xian surrender the Son of Heaven without spending a single soldier." β
Li Guo and the two bosses were overjoyed, and hurriedly asked for details, and Jia replied with a smile: "Do the two generals know that after the defeat of Cao Ying's army, why did they still want to garrison Gongxian and refuse to withdraw?" Its purpose is twofold, one is that the Cao thief is still coveting the Son of Heaven, the other is that the Cao thief is waiting for the civil strife in Luoyang, Yang Feng, Han Xian, Dong Cheng and Zhang Yang The four thieves are vying for power and profit with each other, and the contradictions are deep, if the situation is urgent, they will rescue each other, and if the situation is slow, they will fight with each other, and the Cao thief knows that our army and Yang Feng, Han Xianam and other thieves will join forces, and it is also because he is afraid that his military strength will have to join forces, and if the situation is slow, it will inevitably be infighting, so he will not leave in Gongxian County, just wait for the civil strife of the six armies in Luoyang, and he can take the opportunity to seize the Son of Heaven! β
"Mr. Wenhe, we are asking you how to win the Son of Heaven, why did you analyze the intentions of the Cao thief?" Li Wei asked unhappily.
"The general is not in a hurry, and he will finish listening." Jia smiled even more relaxedly, and said: "Analyzing the intentions of Cao Thief for the two generals is actually to remind the two generals that Cao Thief can wait, how can the two generals not wait?" The two generals only need to be patiently stationed on the other side of Guxian to watch the fire, and wait until Luoyang runs out of food, Yang Feng, Han and the two thieves are cornered, and they must only find a way to live. In this way, as long as the two generals and Yang Fenghan and the two thieves temporarily make a false deal with the snake, and wait until Luoyang runs out of food, they are afraid that he Yang Feng and Han Xian will not bow to the two generals and give up the Son of Heaven? ! β
The two bosses, Li Wei and Guo Yan, glanced at each other, both of them were happy, and then after careful consideration, Guo Yan, who was more intelligent, exclaimed: "Slow! Mr. Wenhe, how can you forget that Hanoi is too flamboyant? His Hanoi is close to Luoyang, and it is easy to supply grain and grass, and our army's grain and grass are all obtained from looting, how can he beat Yang Fenghan Siam? β
"Three reasons, it is destined that Yang Feng, Han and the two thieves will not be able to defeat our army!" Jia raised three fingers without hesitation, one by one: "First, this year's drought in the Central Plains, the grain harvest is serious, there is not much grain in the river, and Zhang Yang does not dare to send all the grain to Luoyang, even if he transports some grain to Luoyang, he will inevitably use this as a threat to compete with Yang Fenghan for power and profit, and coerce the two thieves to bow their heads and provoke the two thieves!" Second, Hanoi is close at hand, and our army can rob Hanoi of food supplies, but Yang Feng Han Siam will definitely not dare! Third, the Cao thief came from afar, and the grain and grass were difficult to transport, in order to consume Yang Feng, Han Xian and other thieves as soon as possible to stimulate the civil strife in Luoyang, the Cao thief must attack Hanoi, rob the grain supply in the land of the rival Zhang Yang, and cut off the grain and grass of Zhang Yang at any cost, and prevent the grain and grass from Hanoi from reaching Luoyang! In this way, if it continues, the two thieves of Yang Feng and Han will inevitably not be able to consume our army! β
The two bosses, Li Dao and Guo Yan, finally laughed out loud, and praised Mr. Wenhe for his cleverness, cleverness, and unpredictableness. Jia reminded again: "Two generals, there is one thing that the two generals must beware, Yang Feng and Han Xian are in a hurry, and they may not have the heart to rob the south, or go to Jingzhou, or go to Huainan, the two generals must separate an army to go to Yique Pass, under the pretext of preventing Liu Biao from hijacking, choke the throat of Yang Feng and Han Xian's two thieves going south, so that the two have no way out, they can only bow to the two generals!" β
"It's easy to do." Li Dao said in a big way: "Here in Yique Pass, I will send my nephews Li Xian and Li Bei to lead the death army to blockade and rob Hanoi of grain, how about leaving it to you Lao Guo?" Guo Yan smiled toothily and nodded in agreement without hesitation.
β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦
Or at the same time in Luoyang City, after our Yang Changshi saw the car, Yang Feng, Han Xian, Zhang Yang and others all invited Yang Changshi to have a camp banquet, to wash the dust for Yang Changshi, and to put wine to suppress the shock, but our Yang Changshi needed to go back to the camp to change clothes and then go to the banquet, so he returned to the camp of the Xuzhou envoy group with Li Lang and others first. However, after returning to the account, our Yang Changshi did not rush to change his clothes to eat and drink, but quickly took out the map of the thirteen states of Dahan brought with the group, lay on the map and watched it carefully, thinking carefully in his heart.
"Mr. Kong Ming, are you kidding? Let me persuade Yang Feng Han Xian to escort south, go to Huainan through Yingchuan Runan to meet Tao Yingxiao and the thieves, and use the power of Yang Feng Han and Han Xian to send the Son of Heaven to Xuzhou, how is this possible? The road from Luoyang to Huainan is thousands of miles, and there is Runan, a ghost place where bandits are rampant, and it is difficult to supply even food, Yang Fenghan Xian's team can eat bark and grass roots to satisfy hunger, what should I do? Do you want me to eat grass roots, bark, and wild fruits, how can my golden branches and jade leaves stand it? β
"Also, I have to persuade Yang Feng and Han Xian to move south as soon as possible, so as not to block Liang County and Yique Pass with Li Dao Guo Yan and Cao Thief, how is this possible? Yang Feng and Han Xian are living well in Luoyang now, how can they leave Luoyang and take the Son of Heaven and me south, isn't this a joke? What else do you say Yang Feng Han Xian may have given birth to the heart of defecting to Xuzhou now, you are an immortal, you can guess the thoughts of Yang Feng and Han Xian from a few hundred miles? Are you kidding! β
"No, we have to find another way! Whether or not I can get the Son of Heaven to Xuzhou to close my, the key is my glory and wealth, my powerful position, these must be kept! β
(To be continued)
