Chapter Twenty-Four: Turning Hostility into Jade Silk (Second Update)

The news of Gongsun Yi's fall from his horse and his capture soon reached the ears of the general, and for a while the courtiers and generals discussed a lot, and many people were glad that they did not take the drudgery of sending him to death, but in words, they continued to persuade the general He Jin to send troops to rescue quickly.

Extremely irritable, He came in and went back and forth, if Gongsun Yi was captured before, it would not have much impact, but when Gongsun Yi held the holy decree, as a court envoy to go to the enemy camp, the nature was completely different, Gongsun Yi went on behalf of the emperor and represented the prestige of the court.

If it is not handled carefully, Gongsun Yi's death is small, and it is likely to attract criticism from the world, and local tycoons will also question the authority of the imperial court, and once they support the army, the consequences will be unimaginable.

The young emperor Liu Wei had just ascended the throne, and the fire in Kyoto had already made people's hearts fluctuate, and he should be more cautious in handling this matter.

Once Gongsun Yi becomes a trading weight, He Jin can only redeem the majesty of the Han Dynasty by annihilating all this, but He Jin still can't make up his mind until he has to.

Yang Yi, who was brutally escorted, only felt that his left arm had lost sensation, presumably because he had broken his arm when he fell from his horse earlier, Yang Yi smiled bitterly in his heart, he didn't expect to come by order to protect the eight thousand elite soldiers of the Xiyuan New Army, but he was treated like this.

However, when I think of the mood of these 8,000 new troops, I can also be relieved, and on the bright side, it is a great luck that I was not shot by arrows in public.

"Get on your knees!" The left and right armor soldiers brutally pressed Yang Yi to the ground, Yang Yi looked up, more than thirty years old A general sat in the main seat with a cold gaze, took the holy decree from the hands of his subordinate soldiers, and roughly swept it, full of disdain and threw it aside.

The colonel stepped forward and stared at Yang Yi coldly, and said in a low voice: "The first emperor likes the prince's association but not the prince's discernment, Liu Bian's ascension to the throne is just the general He Jin's forcible crown robe, and he will be ashamed of the world!" ”

"Now I think that with just a holy decree, I will obediently enter the trap? I'm afraid that there are already heavy troops waiting in Suozao County, and you can wait for his heart to be punished, say, how do you want to die, the lackey of the general? ”

Yang Yi was helpless in his heart, endured the sharp pain in his arm, looked around and didn't find Tian Yu's shadow, and he didn't know where he went.

Yang Yi knew that Tian Yu was here, but he was not worried, and said casually: "The eldest husband would rather die standing than live on his knees, the arm of the envoy has been broken, are you afraid that I will not succeed in a sneak attack?" ”

The general was slightly stunned, but he didn't expect that the envoy in front of him was young, but he was not humble or arrogant and had a backbone, so he turned back and said lightly: "You are still bold, it's a pity to come to die." ”

Yang Yi sat cross-legged on the ground and said in a low voice: "Now that the northern army is surrounding this place, I'm afraid it is still mobilizing siege equipment, besides, the new army in Xiyuan only has 8,000 people, and it can't hold here at all, so it's better to go to Suozao County as soon as possible, as the saying goes, stay in the green mountains, don't be afraid of no firewood." ”

"We all drank blood wine, and swore to be stationed here to resist the northern army, and fight for the last order of the first emperor, he He Jin is the Lord of Hades, and he will also break his two front teeth!" The general said in a deep voice.

"If the envoy's arm is not broken, he will clap his hands for you, and take the lives of 8,000 subordinates, just for the inexplicable death, which is really stupid and heartbreaking."

"You!" The new army general got up angrily, drew his knife and put it on Yang Yi's neck and said coldly: "Believe it or not, I'll cut off your head now!" ”

"Your Excellency!" At this time, I saw Tian Yu open the military tent and walked in, seeing that the new army general had a sharp knife on Yang Yi's neck, he hurriedly stepped forward and persuaded for a while: "It's really a big flood that washed the Dragon King Temple, this is Lord Gongsun." ”

"What!" The general's eyes were full of dullness, and his face was cloudy and uncertain when he thought of the previous things, so he suddenly took a step back and threw the sharp knife on the ground and knelt on the ground: "The lower official is clumsy, and he is abrupt, my lord, I hope to forgive my sins!" ”

In fact, Yang Yi knew that Tian Yu was in the new army station, and there were still 1,000 officers and soldiers of the Xiao Cavalry Battalion hidden here, which was also the reason why Yang Yi came in a hurry desperately.

It turned out that the officers and soldiers of the Xiao Cavalry Battalion who Tian Yu ordered to return to the North Camp that night were all blocked back by the oncoming Northern Army.

Yang Yi looked at the kneeling colonel who was nervous and chuckled: "It's okay, please get up quickly, but please find a medical officer as soon as possible, this official's arm really hurts badly." ”

"Come on, let the medical officer come to the military tent, quick!" The officer of the new army got up with an embarrassed face, gave orders to the guards outside the door, and stood a little helpless on the side, thinking that it was the adults in front of him who had been helping the new army in Xiyuan, but he had captured Lord Gongsun arrogantly, and made threats and disrespectful words, and regretted it for a while, and even his intestines were green.

"Tian Sima, who is this?" Yang Yi looked at Tian Yu and asked.

"The lower official Xiao Ji, it is the Sima under the account of the adult, the adult died, most of the soldiers and horses in the headquarters were subject to the subordinate officials' temperance, and the subordinate officials did not know Mount Tai, and asked the adults to surrender."

"It's not inappropriate to stage a bitter meat trick, so you can completely hide from the world, no one would have thought that we had already been in contact, but the time is urgent, and it will change later, and we must rush to Suozao County as soon as possible, it's just ......" Yang Yi looked at Xiao Ji and stopped talking.

There is no idiot's lunch in the world, Xiao Ji is not stupid, he naturally understands what Yang Yi means, and hurriedly knelt down and said: "Xia Guan is willing to swear to follow the Lord to the death, and the soldiers and horses of the department will go to Suozao County, and everything will be subject to the dispatch of Lord Tian, but He Jin and the eunuchs will jointly attack and kill Lord Jian, and they will definitely take their heads in the future." ”

"I promise you that within a year, I will take the heads of He Jin and others and slaughter the eunuchs, if it cannot be realized, this official will never restrict your troops and horses to stay."

Xiao Ji clasped his head and said gratefully: "Thank you, my lord, I am willing to charge into battle for my lord and swear to serve my life." ”

"Tian Sima, you quickly take the soldiers and horses of your headquarters, mix into Xiao Sima's 8,000 forbidden army and go to Sour Zao, train soldiers and horses, and recruit soldiers, it will be of great use in the future, I have Lu Liang by my side, and I will be sure to be worry-free."

"No."

Although Tian Yu was worried, he could only follow orders, not to mention that from the young master's strategy, there must not be much of a problem in this Kyoto, not to mention that there is a secret passage that has been passed out of Luodu, since the young master has repeatedly instructed the garrison to be of great use in the future, Tian Yu naturally took the lead and completed this matter.

***

Outside the garrison of the new army in Xiyuan, tens of thousands of northern troops gathered here, surrounded the garrison like an iron bucket, more than ten stone-throwing vehicles gradually put in place, and a group of stout armor soldiers began to put huge stones into it, ready to bombard the distant garrison at any time, and the confrontation between the two armies was about to break out.

"General, Lord Gongsun is afraid of accidents, the army can't stay here all the time, in order to avoid long nights and dreams, please give the order to attack quickly!" Yuan Shao, who was standing beside He Jin, said admonishment.

"No, if Lord Gongsun is still negotiating, and the general orders a strong attack, wouldn't it harm people's lives, if this new army in Xiyuan has the intention of obeying orders, once the attack is strong, there will be no room for relaxation!" Cao Cao hurriedly stepped forward to dissuade him.

Just when the general He Jin hesitated, suddenly the door of the new military camp in Xiyuan opened in the distance, and Yang Yi rode out of his horse and said loudly in front of the army: "The new army of Xiyuan is willing to take the order and move, and please withdraw the general!" ”

He Jin was overjoyed in his heart, and finally felt relieved, whether it was a strong attack or a siege without attacking, it was not a foolproof strategy, and now it was properly solved, but there was no need to bear the pressure from the outside world, as for those tiresome magnates, the two thousand Xiyuan New Army who died in the northern district of Luodu also had an explanation for them.

The Northern Army slowly retreated, Tian Yu led a thousand officers and soldiers of the Xiao Cavalry Battalion, mixed into the new army led by Xiao Ji, drove out of the capital all the way smoothly, and went to Suozao County non-stop, and the Kyoto rebellion incident was finally resolved peacefully.

Many officers and soldiers of the Northern Army secretly rejoiced that they did not use swords, and there were always casualties without swords and guns, and it was naturally best to turn war into jade silk, and the deeds of Gongsun Yi riding into the enemy camp were also infinitely magnified, becoming a popular story after tea and dinner.

He Jin became more and more interested in Gongsun Yi, and the Jinwu seal ribbon had been sent to Gongsun Mansion, and for a time Gongsun Yi became a popular person in He Jin's eyes, and his status in the capital was rising, but Liu Xie disappeared from people's field of vision, and he did not move around in the palace every day.

***

"Smack!" A loud crunch was heard.

In the Changle Palace, Zhang Ranggong, who had low eyebrows and pleasing eyes, stood in the audience, didn't care about the hot handprints on his face, looked at Empress Dong who was hiding his face and crying, and said softly: "Queen Mother, don't flash your hand." ”

"You and others are all old ministers, the first emperor was there a lot of support, why did Liu Wei ascend the throne but you became dumb!"

"The Empress Dowager is angry, He Jinbao Liu argues that the emperor is just the first, and now the status of the Empress Dowager is respected, if the courtiers dare not obey, the old slave thinks that it is better to go their own way."

"Zhang Changshi, what do you do?"

"The Empress Dowager He has the prince's discernment, and the Empress Dowager also has the Prince's Association, as long as the Empress Dowager hangs the curtain and listens to the government, the courtiers dare not accept it, even He Jin does not dare to be disrespectful."

"It's just that He Jin controls the Northern Army, and his position is high and powerful and shocks the court, so how can he resist!" Empress Dong was full of worried inquiries.

Since Liu Weimian was added to the throne, although Empress Dong hated the He family to the core, she was not blinded by hatred, and the tens of thousands of elites under He Jin were not vegetarians.

"Don't worry about the Empress Dowager, who doesn't have a mother's family, looking at it as an old slave, it is better to crown the uncle Dong Zhong as the hussar general, and set up the prince association as the king of Chen Liu, so as to deter the He family."

"Okay, let's listen to the government!"

***

The General's Mansion, He Jin lived in the mansion to have fun, but he was at ease, and Yuan Kui, the Taifu of the court, couldn't intervene at all, and stayed at home and said that he couldn't get sick.

Suddenly, a courtier rushed in, bowed down and said, "The general is not good!" ”

"The sky can't fall, so let's talk about something important." He Jin was puzzled, there was something in the court that Taifu Yuan Kui couldn't decide.

"The Empress Dowager listened to the government when she came to the court, and crowned her uncle as the general of the hussars, and the golden seal and purple ribbon, and the prince Liu Xie as the king of Chen Liu, which shocked the government and the opposition for a while!"

"The deception is too much, you step down, and the old man will deal with it." He Jin's face was fierce, and he was murderous for a while.

"Someone, prepare the car quickly, and go to Changle Palace quickly."
