Chapter 345: The Second Bullet of the Battle of Jizhou (Eleven) 5/6
"Fuzun, if it goes on like this, I'm afraid the sons and daughters won't be able to hold on for long."
A military general standing behind Zhong Xuan couldn't help but whisper: "Yesterday, some people have already started killing horses to satisfy hunger, and it is estimated that it will not be long before the sons and daughters will completely collapse." There are only two paths. While everyone was still a little angry, they rushed out desperately. Even if you die in battle, it's better than worrying all day long, and you have to sleep with one eye open. If you go on like this, you will be dead. ”
Yang Wei has a very good table, called Boyo.
He is a member of the Xiangwu clan in Longxi and once served under Dong Zhuo's account.
After Dong Zhuo's death, as a general in the Xiliang Army, Li Dao had a good impression of him.
This guy is very famous in Xiliang, when he was young, he led more than 100 Xiangwu young and strong, and defeated thousands of horse thieves, so he was known as 'Yang Invincible' in Xiliang. However, as Huaxiong, Xu Rong, and Lu Bu joined Dong Zhuo one after another, Yang Wei did not dare to use the name of 'invincible' anymore.
He's a smart guy, and the nickname 'Invincible' is too hateful.
At that time, Dong Zhuo's account was full of arrogant soldiers, whether it was Lu Bu or Huaxiong, Xu Rong, and Wei Yue, which one was not arrogant?
However, it can also be seen from this that Yang Wei still had a lot of status in the Xiliang Army...... After Li Wei recruited Yang Wei, this guy once resisted Lu Bu for twenty rounds under Chang'an City, and finally with the help of others, he relied on the numerical advantage to drive Lu Bu away.
After this battle, Yang Wei's reputation was greatly enhanced.
It's just that with Li Dao and Guo Yan's rebellion, the Xiliang army is no longer majestic.
Especially after the return of the Han Emperor to the east, Yang Wei became more and more disoptimistic about Li Dao...... It was at this time that Zhong Miao was ordered to serve as the lieutenant of Sili to appease Li Dao. Zhong Xuan had such an eye that he immediately discovered Yang Wei's existence. Thereafter. He often exchanged letters with Yang Wei, shushing the cold and asking for warmth, which made Yang Wei grateful. After Li Wei's death, Yang Wei took refuge in Zhong Xiang and helped Zhong Xiang pacify the bandits in Guanzhong.
From this point of view. Yang Wei can be called Zhong Xuan's henchman.
But the method he is talking about now makes Zhong Miao smile bitterly.
"Boyo, do you think the sons still have the heart to die?"
If they were trapped in the Baibo Valley at the beginning, these Cao soldiers might still be able to do desperate things. Can ...... now Trapped for more than ten days, without eating or drinking, all hungry faces and yellow muscles are thin. I can't eat enough in my stomach. Where does the fighting spirit come from? Don't look at what Yang Wei said, but in fact, he doesn't have this confidence himself. Hearing Zhong Xuan's rhetorical question, Yang Wei grinned and closed his mouth.
He and Zhong Xuan, no one said the second way.
Actually, Zhong Xuan is also good. Yang Wei also knows that the second way is the right choice.
But neither of them was willing to say it, and the reasons for it were extremely complicated......
Let the uncle surrender to the nephew?
Zhong Xuan really couldn't pull his face.
I think that at the beginning, when Liu Chuang fled from Xudu, Zhong Xuan Zengen said to Liu Chuang categorically: When we meet again, I will never show mercy to my subordinates.
But who would have thought...... The little guy who ran away from the wolf. Now it has risen to the north and has become a hegemon that can compete with Cao Cao. And the princes who were dominant at that time, Liu Biao stubbornly guarded Jingzhou and had no enterprising spirit; Sun Ce was killed, and his soul had already returned to Jiuquan. Yuan Shao's great foundation has disappeared. The remaining Liu Bei was like a lost dog, sending people under the fence.
Sometimes, Zhong Miao really wants to sigh with emotion, the impermanence of fate.
Of course. In addition to surrendering to Liu Chuang, Zhong Miao also had another choice, which was to commit suicide.
But who is Zhong Xuan?
is cunning and cunning, can seek advantages and avoid disadvantages, how can he be loyal to Cao Cao? He was waiting for an opportunity. A Liu Chuang gave him a chance to go down the stairs.
Moreover, Zhong Xuan also believed that Xun Chen would never be able to kill him.
At this moment, a small school came to report, "A letter was sent from outside the valley, inviting the Fuzun to meet at Fenshui Pavilion early tomorrow morning." ”
Zhong Xuan found that when the school made a report, his eyes were full of expectations.
In other words, he also wanted Zhong Xuan to go to the banquet.
By this time, the situation in the outside world had been cut off, and no one knew the outcome of the duel between Liu Chuang and Cao Cao. Everyone is looking forward to an early end to the fighting. Surrender and surrender, and it is more cost-effective to have a hot meal than anything else.
The morale of the army has been dissipated!
Zhong Xuan sighed in his heart, although he had not received the letter, he knew who wrote it.
"Back to the past, I should be on time for the appointment tomorrow."
"Whoa!"
Seeing the little school happily running to reply, Zhong Xuan couldn't help but smile bitterly and shook his head.
"Boyo, the heart of man descends...... In this case, how to break through? ”
Yang Wei looked stunned, and hurriedly said: "The last general was not thoughtful, and almost ruined everyone's lives. ”
Zhong Xuan sighed and puffed out his chest.
"Anyway, I will die, and I will seek a life for everyone.
I believe that Youruo will not push me too much...... Boyo, you go back and get ready, and come with me to the appointment early tomorrow morning. ”
Yang Wei was suddenly happy in his heart, but there was a solemn look on his face, "Fuzun endures humiliation, why does Wei regret this?" ”
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
The two old foxes are not stupid people.
Yang Wei knew that Zhong Xuan needed a step. And doesn't he hope to take this opportunity to have a good owner?
Everyone knows what is going on in their hearts, but on the face, it is still necessary to show enough momentum, which can be regarded as saving face.
The next day, Zhong and Yang came to the mouth of Baibo Valley with a team of relatives.
There were already Han troops waiting here, and seeing the arrival of Zhong Miao and Yang Wei, the two generals had been waiting for a long time.
They hurried up to greet them, bowed down and saluted, "Gao Ping (Gao Huai) is on the order of my military advisor to welcome Yuan Changgong here."
Please ask Yuan Changgong to wait, although I will come, the military adviser has prepared wine and food in Fenshui Pavilion, and said that he wants to catch up with Yuan Changgong......"
Gao Ping and Gao Huai are Gao Lan's cousins.
After Gao Ran surrendered that year, he introduced these two people to Liu Chuang's account.
The strength of these two people is not very strong, but the level of the early stage of qi cultivation, and they are both past the best age, it is difficult to improve again.
It's just that these two people were born with a good skin. The long appearance is not bad, and the appearance is dignified.
Moreover, the two of them are also proficient in the art of war and are good at managing the army.
Liu Chuang asked the two of them to serve in the general's mansion, and this time Xun Chen went to Hedong and brought two people here. It also has the meaning of carrying forward.
Gao Ran died in the battle of Anping Kingdom, and Liu Chuang has always felt guilty.
Therefore, after returning to Yanjing, he decided to promote the two. It's just that Xun Chen stopped Liu Chuang, thinking that his rash promotion would not only cause dissatisfaction among others. can't say that it will make the two of them arrogant. Most of Liu Chuang's subordinates are the kind of people who climb up step by step, relying on talent and merit. Gao Ping Gao Huai's qualifications are insufficient, and he has no particularly outstanding credit, and he cannot be reused.
This time, he brought the two of them to Hedong to fight for the credit of the two of them.
As long as there is merit. Liu Chuang promoted the two more, and no one would say anything.
Zhong Xuan nodded and arched his hand, "Please also ask the two of you to lead the way." ”
Gao Huai wanted to stay in the army, so Gao Ping took Zhong Xiang and Yang Wei and his party to the bank of the Fenshui River.
Fenshui Pavilion, as the name suggests. It is located on the west bank of Fenshui, also known as Fenyin Pavilion.
Xun Chen had been waiting in the pavilion for a long time, and saw him dressed in casual clothes, a moon-white robe, a scarf on his head, a fan in his hand, and a black beard under his chin.
"Yuan Chang, why did you come so late?"
Zhong Xuan was also not polite, and motioned for Yang Wei to wait outside the pavilion, and he walked into the Fenshui Pavilion.
"A certain defeat. If you are proud of your spring breeze...... The military affairs in the valley are busy, and I always have to be appeased before I can go to the appointment. ”
Zhong Xuan's tone was a little rushed, but Xun Chen didn't care too much.
He laughed and sat down.
"Come on, come on. It's been a long time since I've had a drink with you, but I miss it so much. ”
Xun Chen and Zhong Xuan have indeed not been together for many years.
It is no wonder that Zhong Miao took a fancy to Cao Cao, and Xun Chen assisted Yuan Shao, and the relationship between the two was hostile, so naturally it was impossible to have too many intersections.
However, they are not without connection.
In these years, even if we have to meet each other in life and death tomorrow, today you and I are friends, and you can also drink and talk.
Public is public, private is private, and no one will mix public and private...... This may be the style of celebrities and gentlemen as later generations?
"Meng Yan, how are you now?"
After the two exchanged pleasantries, Zhong Miao asked about Liu Chuang.
Xun Chen was silent for a moment, "How can he be bad?" A few days ago, he had just defeated Cao Cao and captured the giant deer, and now he is stationed in Tantai, and he is busy all day. Even Kang Chenggong's seventh and sixth birthdays did not go to visit. If you have the chance, you have to teach him more lessons. ”
At first glance, it seems to be blaming Liu Chuang.
But in reality, it's a kind of show-off......
Zhong Xuan asked Liu Chuang, in fact, he wanted to inquire about the battle situation in Jizhou.
Everyone is an old man, how can Xun Chen not know this art of speaking?
Cao Cao, defeated?
Zhong Xuan's heart trembled when he heard this, and although he tried his best to make a calm posture, the twitch at the corner of his mouth still revealed the horror in his heart.
Cao Cao actually lost, he actually lost to Liu Chuang?
You must know that Cao Cao originally seized the giant deer in Anping, but now Xun Chen only talks about the giant deer, but Zhong Xuan can hear that Cao Cao is afraid that even Anping will be lost. How could he have lost so miserably? Cao Cao's troops entered Jizhou, but with 80,000 troops, it stands to reason that he should have the upper hand.
But......
In Zhong Xuan's mind, the earth-shattering explosion outside Pingyang City suddenly appeared.
Could it be ......
Zhong Xuan's heart trembled, and he seemed to understand the reason. If Liu Chuang had used that kind of means in Jizhou, Cao Cao's defeat would have been reasonable. Without him, that method is just too terrifying. Even now, Zhong Xuan still feels terrified when he thinks about it.
Cao Cao lost, which means that the overall situation in Hedong has been decided.
He closed his eyes and showed a bitter smile, "Wen Xi Pei's family, why are you against me?" ”
"Yuan Chang has forgotten, that Pei Mao once studied under Ziqi, there is such a relationship, what about the Pei family?"
When Zhong Xuan heard this, he suddenly showed a sudden look.
When he came to Wenxi, he didn't know the relationship between Liu Tao and Pei.
It's just that Cao Cao had the upper hand at that time, and Zhong Miao didn't care about this matter. In his opinion, what if Pei Mao studied under Liu Tao? Liu Tao has passed away, and Pei Mao is no longer in the world. Who else cares about this teacher-student relationship, or values it?
But I forgot that Xun Chen and Liu Tao have a bad relationship!
I didn't lose unjustly this time, but I was a little underestimated......
Thinking of this, Zhong Miao sighed, "Now I am a fish and a knife, but I don't know what you are going to do with me?" ”
