91 Tiger Prison. A turbulent empire
[Sanjiang recommends zuihou for two days, ask for collection, ask for recommendation, ask for Sanjiang tickets, thank you! ] 】
For three months in a row, from the warm and cold spring of March to the scorching summer of June, the war in the Tiger Prison suddenly fell into an extremely calm and boring stage.
The 150,000 troops of the Kwantung Coalition Army are still in front of the Tiger Prison Pass, and after suffering a heavy setback, no matter how the Xiliang Army sends its generals to fight in front of the camp, the Kwantung Coalition Army just avoids the battle, and when it arrives at Zuihou, the Xiliang Army is too lazy to toss so much, and the army is also resting in the Tiger Prison Pass, and the Kwantung Coalition Army outside the Pass is safe and sound.
The armies of the two sides are so deadlocked here, the daily consumption, but there is no less, but compared with the Kwantung Coalition Army outside the Guandong, the strength of the Xiliang Army is far less than that of the Kwantung Coalition Army, which was originally a big disadvantage, but at this time it has been transformed into a great advantage, ordinary soldiers can still eat seven points full every day, and according to the news from other sources, the 150,000 troops of the Kwantung Coalition Army, ordinary soldiers can eat half a full day, which is extremely rare.
Compared with the generals of the Xiliang Army, Lu Bu knew much more about the military information, he had Hanoi Taishou Zhangyang's line, and he could quickly know a lot of the secret military information within the Kwantung Coalition Army.
It's just that he has been making a lot of money in silence and has not made public the source of this military intelligence.
At this time, he knew that in that battle, his three arrows in a series of arrows hit Pan Feng, the general under the account of Han Fu of Jizhou, and he was also the most relied on general under Han Fu's account. It is said that after Han Fu learned the news of Pan Feng's death in battle, he was furious and almost quit the Kwantung coalition because of this.
And from Zhang Yang, Lu Bu also knew that the Kwantung Coalition Army in front of him, although it was still in front of the Tiger Pass, was on the verge of falling apart, and the camp seemed to be calm as usual, but in fact, the secret struggle for power and profit had never stopped.
Otherwise, the Kwantung Coalition Army would not have been so honest and would have begun to attack the Tiger Prison Pass a long time ago.
It's just that Zhang Yang learned the news from the sour jujube, a lot of hidden information, and it is also ominous, if Lu Bu and Li Dao, the commander of the Xiliang Army, learned of the current predicament of the Kwantung Coalition Army, they were afraid that they would immediately raise a large army and brazenly attack the 150,000 Kwantung Coalition Army.
At this time, the Kwantung Coalition Army, on the surface, everything was as usual, but in fact, it was in an unprecedented vulnerability.
Yuan Shao, the leader of the coalition alliance, has only been in a short period of time from the high-spirited spirit when he swore an oath to the current anxiety, and during this time, he has been alone in the black Chinese army tent, and when he sits alone, he has come more than ever before.
Just balancing the struggle for power and profit of the princes from all walks of life, he was very worried, and his only sustenance in front of him was on Xu You, to see if Xu You's good strategy this time could play its due role.
The eighteenth princes of the sour jujube alliance have now gone to one-third, and the rest have also formed several major shili, faintly with the intention of breaking away from the coalition army.
Yuan Shao sat alone in the dark tent of the Chinese army, although it was extremely hot, he didn't care, he just cared about the current situation in his heart.
The only people he can regard as his own are now the Fenwu general Cao Cao, the former Beihai Taishou Kong Rong, who is newly listed as Qingzhou Mu, and the county guards such as Cui Jun, the Taishou of Xihe, except for a seal ribbon in their hands.
Of course, now the county guards in Yuzhou, such as Yingchuan Taishou Li Min, Runan Taishou Xu Miao, etc., can also be counted as their own people.
The one who jumped the hardest was Yanzhou Mu Liu Dai, who ruled the seven counties at the beginning, and was not restricted by him, and took up most of the county ministers on his own, but what he didn't expect was that Bao Tao, the prime minister of Jibei, the east county guarded Qiaomao, Chen Liutai guarded Zhang Miao, and Shanyang guarded Yuan Yu, and they died in battle one after another, and all the remnants were blatantly annexed by Liu Dai, so that now his strength is the most powerful one in the coalition army.
In addition to Liu Dai, he counted his half-brother Yuan Shu, who supported the army and entrenched in Nanyang, led Nanyang Taishou, and the general Sun Jian under the table account was the pastor of Yuzhou, and now, he coveted Yangzhou again, and took advantage of the death of Yangzhou Mu Zhou Qian, and preemptively sent Chen Wen under the account, intending to express him as the pastor of Yangzhou.
Which is tolerable or unbearable, Yuan Shao was in the dark, clenching his teeth, clenching his fists, eager to beat Yuan Shu in the face with a punch across thousands of mountains and rivers, beating him into a pig's head.
But what Yuan Shu did, he was an elder brother, but he had no way to control it, even Yuzhou, which was close at hand, let alone Yangzhou, which was far away in Jiangdong.
There are also Jizhou Mu Han Fu and Xuzhou Mu Tao Qian who are stationed in sour jujube, the two are said to have a very good relationship now, Guangling Taishou Zhang Chao died, Tao Qian immediately put under the account of the general Zang Hong as Guangling Taishou, and received Zhang Chao's soldiers.
Only Youzhou Mu Lu Zhi's attitude is still the same, and it has not changed because of this.
Thinking of this, Yuan Shao couldn't help but sigh helplessly in the dark.
As the leader of the coalition, he could only watch everyone compete to annex and kill the soldiers under the county guard, but because of his identity, he couldn't make a move.
This made him very helpless.
After thinking about it, Yuan Shao agreed with what Guo Tu, the advisor under the account, said.
Guo Tu was originally left by him in Bohai to deal with county affairs, but now Xu You made a detour to Wuguan, went to Guanzhong, and personally went out to open the current stalemate, so he urgently transferred Guo Tu to come and staff the military.
As soon as Guo Tu arrived, the first thing he said was that if the coalition army was holding its ground like this, there would be no need for the Xiliang army to do anything, and the coalition army would fall apart.
Yuan Shao listened to it at the time, except for the shock in his heart, he didn't believe it much, but after such a contemplative calculation at night, he believed that what Guo Tu said was indeed insightful.
"Someone!"
Thinking of this, Yuan Shao couldn't sit still anymore and called out loud.
The soldiers guarding outside the tent responded to the account, and Yuan Shao only saw a vague figure, and immediately ordered in a deep voice: "Send someone to summon the generals, and say that there is something important to discuss." ”
Just when Yuan Shao convened all the princes to discuss important matters, in Chang'an, thousands of miles away, Xu You finally met the person he wanted to meet, and Lu Bu, who was in the Tiger Prison Pass, unexpectedly welcomed a mysterious guest.
He was sent by Situ Wang Yun today, but he came from Taiyuan, which means that this old man started from Luoyang, detoured to Hedong County, and went north to Taiyuan, together with Hou Cheng and others sent by Lu Bu to Taiyuan, and then went south from Taiyuan to Shangdang, Gaodu, Hanoi, and Hugaoguan.
has gone around such a big circle, which shows the degree of secrecy of this matter.
It took so much effort, but Lu Bu thought it was true.
Today's Luoyang, Situ Wang Yun, Sikong Yang Biao, Taiwei Huang Wan, although the three dukes are here, they are all in vain, and all the major decisions of the imperial court are Li Dao, Guo Tai, Li Su and Guo Yan, not to mention other courtiers.
Especially after experiencing the death of Dong Zhuo, the scholars and doctors led by Situ Wang Yun returned to the imperial court and took charge of the affairs for a while, after Li Dao and others controlled the government, they still nominally retained the official positions of Wang Yun and others, but secretly, they were all over the eyeliner and took strict care of them.
The person who came was very young and quite handsome, just looking at the first glance, Lu Bu knew that he had not yet performed the crown salute, but when he first saw Lu Bu, he claimed to be just Situ Wang Yun's messenger, and immediately handed over a handwritten letter from Wang Yun, and sat quietly on the sidelines, silent.
Lu Bu didn't care, just lit the bright lamp and candle, and looked at the letter carefully.
Wang Yun didn't seem to say anything in the letter, and seemed to say a lot of things, Lu Bu looked at it three times in a row, and was sure that he hadn't missed anything, so he casually put the silk silk on the lamp and candle and lit it.
The silk silk was carried by Lu Bu in his hand, and the orange-red light emitted when it was burned was about to lick Lu Bu's fingers, but this time it was released by Lu Bu and fell to ashes when it fell on the desk.
Lu Bu looked at the ashes in a daze, silently for a while, before he raised his head, looked at the person who came, and asked, "What else does Wang Situ have to say?" ”
The visitor shook his head slightly, a confident smile appeared on his face, pointed to the ashes in front of Lu Bu, and replied, "What Situ said is all here." ”
Lu Bu nodded, signaled that he knew, and asked: "Is the little brother going back to rush back to recover his life, or is he ......?"
"This ......"
The visitor groaned, and immediately his eyes were full of smiles, a little playful, and replied, "It depends on the meaning of the envoy." ”
Lu Bu was slightly stunned, obviously he didn't understand the meaning of the visitor's words for a while, and after thinking about it, he was relieved, he came here in such a big circle, how to go back, of course, he had to act safely.
Lu Bu immediately smiled and said, "Okay, then bother the little brother to stay in the tent for a while, and then set off when I send someone to Taiyuan." ”
The person who came happily thanked him and said goodbye to leave, Lu Bu looked at the back of this person, and the more he thought about it, the more he felt that this messenger was really not simple, but unfortunately, he was so focused on Wang Yun's letter that he forgot to ask his name and surname.
In Wang Yun's letter, in addition to mentioning that Lu Bu was entrusted to take care of his nephew Wang Ling, he nagged about some trivial matters in Luoyang, such as the Queen Mother's seclusion in Yongle Palace, following the "self-cultivation" that Lu Bu said that day, and focusing on "recuperating in the sky" without asking about political affairs; How did the courtiers dedicate themselves to their duties, work diligently, and serve the court.
When the Kwantung Coalition Army started, Wang Yun did not have any contact with Lu Bu except for sending his nephew Wang Ling to serve under Lu Bu's tent.
Obviously, up to now, Wang Yun is not optimistic about the Kwantung Coalition Army, and mentioning the Empress Dowager He who lives in Yongle Palace shows that he has never forgotten the idea of supporting Shihou Liu Wei as the king, and to achieve this, there is no problem on the courtiers' side, and the only thing that needs to be relied on is external force.
In today's Xiliang Army, it can borrow heavy external forces, and Mu Lu Bu, who has heavy troops, is the first choice.
And in Wang Yun's letter, there is also a vague mention of those who have their hearts towards the court, and there are many people.
Lu Bu believed that Wang Yun's words were not empty words, but they did mean something, which made him very curious, and he kept thinking, which person Wang Yun mentioned was from the Xiliang Army, or from the Kwantung Alliance?
